[12:01] <junk1> for me riotkitte i had nothing  lol
[12:01] <stefg> Ropechoborra: you don't want that... instead you might want NOPASSWD: ALL for the admin group
[12:01] <za3boud>  dwhsix: yes I'm agree
[12:01] <p00fieus_maximus> I want to make sure he is not looking up odd things with farm animals
[12:01] <gregg> xtknight:  it is hda2, I did the command in the terminal
[12:01] <xtknight> is editing /etc/sudoers with 'sudo vim' bad?
[12:01] <gregg> now what?
[12:01] <adop> felix_: gnome sound settings?
[12:01] <xtknight> gregg: now  'sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/hda2'
[12:01] <bakert> beem, hmm.  i did see that once before and the alternative cd worked much better.  i'm not sure at what point you should give up and cancel.  give it a little longer?
[12:02] <aurynn> p00fieus_maximus, why bother?
[12:02] <jrib> xtknight: it's not the preferred way.  visudo will check for syntax errors.  You can use any editor you want with visudo
[12:02] <felix_> the one in System>Preferences>Sound ?
[12:02] <riotkittie> beem: thats odd. being terribly impatient, i would kill it and restart to see where it pops up. or manually partition with gparted.
[12:02] <Ropechoborra> riotkittie stefg Is like this, i only have a root user, and i want to add a new one, like the "install user" in ubuntu
[12:02] <riotkittie> live cd
[12:02] <adop> felix_: yes
[12:02] <bakert> p00fieus_maximus, he might be looking at odd things with farm animals in research for a stunning new book that will make the world a better place?
[12:02] <riotkittie> ohhh add a user, not add a sudoer
[12:02] <Jordan_U> Forbin: mkdir /mnt/YourHD && sudo mount /dev/hda /mnt/YourHD
[12:02] <lufis> Is xorg and xfree86 the same thing?
[12:02] <Tox> !amarok
[12:02] <ubotu> Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 for Dapper and 1.4.4 for Edgy and packages are  available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[12:02] <p00fieus_maximus> Can I make so he cannot see if I look it up? I need some modeling refrences, and dont want to pay for modeling snapshots
[12:02] <Ropechoborra> riotkittie but i want to use that user instead of root, so it has to be a sudoer
[12:02] <felix_> adop, as far as I could see no useful settings, but I'll double-check just in case
[12:02] <gregg> xtknight:  okay I did the command now what should I do
[12:03] <beem> riotkittie, this before i have been given the option. it has done the percentage bar and now sits loading before giving me the option to manually or automatically partition
[12:03] <Tox> !qtopia
[12:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about qtopia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:03] <bakert> lufis, xorg is a fork of xfree86 i think.  they disagreed about future directions or architecture or something.
[12:03] <aurynn> p00fieus_maximus, when I dream, I want a pony.
[12:03] <aurynn> p00fieus_maximus, don't be a cheapskate
[12:03] <lufis> bakert: ah. and ubuntu uses xorg by default?
[12:03] <xtknight> gregg: 1 sec
[12:03] <bakert> lufis, i think they are the de facto standard these days -- they seem to have won the argument, whatever it was
[12:03] <bakert> lufis, so, yes!
[12:03] <p00fieus_maximus> my husband dreams of ponies too, this is what worries me
[12:04] <felix_> adop, no useful settings, but it also only show the onboard card
[12:04] <aurynn> are trolls like that common? Sheesh.
[12:04] <junk1> riotkitte do you know enought about wireless to walk me through what i need im going by what i was told b4 i got the cd for the wireless card in an i was told get the ini or inf or something an mount but i dont know what exactly to do
[12:04] <bakert> p00fieus_maximus, for an enquiring wife you sure are on #ubuntu on freenode with a strange nick.
[12:04] <p00fieus_maximus> this is hid computer
[12:04] <p00fieus_maximus> his
[12:04] <lufis> bakert: ok, thanks. Is there a place that tracks xorg development? Like a PlanetX or something
[12:04] <p00fieus_maximus> I have windows on mine
[12:04] <aMoRPHeouS> Hey people. I've just installed Ubuntu 6.10 and it's not detecting my ethernet adapter. Can someone help me?
[12:04] <bakert> lufis, x.org --- literally
[12:05] <bakert> lufis, how cool is that?
[12:05] <riotkittie> oops. i've got to go. the little one is determined on pounding on my laptop with full force ...  /cat toddler > /dev/null  :x
[12:05] <adop> felix_: in sounds there is an option for the default sound card. But if it is not detected...
[12:05] <junk1> lol bye
[12:05] <lufis> bakert: pretty neat. i always wondered how they got the single letter address... guess they have connections
[12:05] <gregg> xtknight:  no problem, thanks for all your help!!!  Also, where do I go to get the info you gave me to install programs
[12:06] <beem> bakert, restarting ;<
[12:06] <felix_> adop, no :( I don't like that. I got autodetect, the onboard card, alsa, esd and oss
[12:06] <lufis> bakert: the news on the x.org page is so stagnant though i was hoping there was a planet mayhaps that aggregated all the developers' blogs or something
[12:06] <bakert> Does anyone know what a ".run" file is?
[12:06] <bakert> lufis, don't know much more about it i'm afraid.
[12:06] <lufis> bakert: alright, thanks
[12:06] <bakert> lufis, it's not exactly daily updates i can see now i'm looking at it!
[12:06] <sneakums> bakert: i think they're called .run to prompt you to chmod +x and execute them
[12:07] <felix_> adop, from lspci: 05:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
[12:07] <bakert> sneakums, i see.  ta.
[12:07] <sneakums> some third-part software is distributed like that
[12:07] <sneakums> you shoujld examine the file first to make sure it is what you think it is though
[12:07] <sneakums> usually it's a shar archive, which is just a shell script that can unpack itself
[12:07] <adop> felix_: not at the devices tab
[12:07] <phiqtion> where can i change the system sounds?
[12:07] <adop> felix_: the sounds one
[12:07] <xtknight> gregg: ok im back
[12:07] <meistercobbman> hi
[12:07] <bakert> sneakums, yes that's right -- it's a self extracting archive.  Enemy Territory 2.6 -- some game that apparently runs on Linux
[12:08] <gregg> xtknight:  thanks for your help
[12:08] <sneakums> huh, x.org was registered in 1997, i'd have thought earlier
[12:08] <Jordan_U> phiqtion: System -> Preferences -> Sound
[12:08] <xtknight> gregg: no problem.  what do you mean by 'info to install programs'?
[12:08] <felix_> adop, that's the one I'm searching at, I can't find other devices there other than the ones I listed
[12:09] <bakert> sneakums, there must be more to it than that.  perhaps they only opened up single char addresses then or something?
[12:09] <jedrick> how to mount ntfs drive that is readable writable and accessable? i can mount but i can't access and i use this command..  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt" can anyone help me?
[12:09] <gregg> xtknight:  lets hold off on that question:  the wine program install is done now what and regarding the sudo mount hda2 what should I do
[12:09] <Tox> how to make ubuntu understand and found more than 3 mouse buttons ?
[12:09] <LinTux> I have just reinstalled and in Sanaptic I no longer have a category for Amateur Radio
[12:10] <xtknight> gregg: um, so youre done with 'sudo make install' right?
[12:10] <sneakums> bakert: or else they just made an exception as you (or somebody) said
[12:10] <blakesmith> i need help changing my resolution... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't show new res modes in the screen resolution prog
[12:10] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | jedrick
[12:10] <ubotu> jedrick: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[12:10] <gregg> xtknight:  yes I am
[12:10] <xtknight> gregg: well you can run wine with 'wine   program.exe'
[12:11] <phiqtion> Jordan_U: where can i change the default Ubuntu sounds?
[12:11] <blakesmith> 800*600 and 60Hz is all that is available
[12:11] <Jordan_U> phiqtion: System -> Preferences -> Sound
[12:11] <felix_> adop, in the volume-control I can find it though, and I can even get some 'sound' but it's only noise, so I can get some limited contact
[12:11] <phiqtion> Jordan_U: i don't see anything there to change, i.e.: downloaded?
[12:11] <Jordan_U> phiqtion: It is in the "sounds" tab at the top
[12:11] <EnsignRedshirt> Does anyone here use the mplayer-plugin package with Firefox in Dapper?  If so, do the videos at news.bbc.co.uk work for you?  For me, some work, but some have no sound, others have messed up video, and sometimes it just doesn't play anything.
[12:12] <blakesmith> i need help changing my resolution... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't show new res modes in the screen resolution prog
[12:12] <gregg> xtknight:  do i run the command you gave me from the terminal?
[12:12] <phiqtion> Jordan_U: does it have to be a wav file? it cant be mp3?
[12:12] <xtknight> gregg: all commands are run from the terminal
[12:12] <gregg> xtknight:  it didn't run
[12:12] <AdamKrier> Does anyone know how i can turn off sound juicer starting automatically when i put in an audio cd. Similarly I would like to disable Rhythmbox from starting when i plug in my ipod.
[12:12] <Renato> Hello
[12:12] <adop> felix_: ok, go the the sound preferences and go to the second tab. at the bottom if it there is a drop down box. what are the options on it?
[12:12] <Renato> I'm desperated
[12:12] <Kingsqueak> Preferences -> Removable Media
[12:12] <Jordan_U> phiqtion: I don't know, try an mp3 and click the play button to test it
[12:12] <blakesmith> AdamKrier: go to removable drives and media
[12:12] <Renato> save me please?????????
[12:12] <xtknight> gregg: sorry , what are you trying to do using wine?
[12:13] <init6> Any of y'all have access to a redhat or suse box?
[12:13] <Renato> xtknight: Hello guy
[12:13] <xtknight> !br | Renato
[12:13] <ubotu> Renato: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[12:13] <AdamKrier> blakesmith, THANK YOU!
[12:13] <gregg> well I just want to run my windows applications
[12:13] <blakesmith> np
[12:13] <blakesmith> now someone help me :)
[12:13] <Renato> xtknight: I'm KurumimBrazil remember?
[12:13] <xtknight> Renato: hey, try #ubuntu-br
[12:13] <blakesmith> i need help changing my resolution... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't show new res modes in the screen resolution prog
[12:13] <gregg> xtknight:  trying to run windows apps
[12:13] <xtknight> Renato:  hmm i think i remember
[12:13] <Renato> xtknight: why?
[12:13] <adop> felix_: there shouldn't be and autodetect there
[12:14] <felix_> adop, aaaah like the default sound card, witch looks like to have the option I'm searching for
[12:14] <xtknight> Renato: you may be able to get help there better if you speak portuguese
[12:14] <Colossus> Anybody here speak Polish?
[12:14] <xtknight> !pl | Colossus
[12:14] <ubotu> Colossus: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[12:14] <Renato> xtknight: I am that with lot of trouble in Core 2 Duo +  Dapper remember?
[12:14] <xtknight> Renato: ah yeah
[12:14] <Colossus> No, I was asking whether anyone did. I don't.
[12:14] <xtknight> lol ahh
[12:15] <xtknight> gregg: wine is a pretty complicated utility
[12:15] <Renato> xtknight: I have good news!
[12:15] <EnsignRedshirt> Anyone?  Do the videos at news.bbc.co.uk all work for you?
[12:15] <xtknight> EnsignRedshirt: mplayer may not work with windows media version 9 files
[12:15] <Renato> xtknight: I've got Edgy and he worked perfectly fine
[12:15] <blakesmith> i need help changing my resolution... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't show new res modes in the screen resolution prog.... ANYONE?
[12:15] <xtknight> gregg: setting up windows programs to run under emulation is very hard.  it varies per program on how to set it up
[12:15] <gregg> xtknight:  I just want to run my windows programs.  my understanding was the wine did this  is
[12:15] <Renato> xtknight: it worked fine
[12:15] <xtknight> gregg: wine is difficult to use especially if youre new to ubuntu
[12:16] <gregg> xtknight:  so is it not possible
[12:16] <xtknight> gregg: try VMware server?
[12:16] <sheriff> hi, is there anybody who could install and run openoffice.org 2.1 on dapper?
[12:16] <EnsignRedshirt> xtknight: It looks like the bbc uses .rm files.  Should those work?
[12:16] <Renato> xtknight: except by one thing: my modem
[12:16] <bradley_> i am running kernel 2.6.17-10-generic #2 but i want to downgrade to the regular 2.6.17-10-generic, how do i downgrade the kernel
[12:16] <xtknight> Renato: yeah Edgy works well for me too.  but my ethernet did not work
[12:16] <felix_> adop, well, I can change the setting so it seems right, but it won't remember it :S
[12:16] <gregg> xtknight:  is there anyway to do this?  I heard vmware was slow
[12:16] <xtknight> gregg: vmware is probably faster than wine
[12:16] <blakesmith> so weak, nobody cares
[12:16] <gregg> what do I do
[12:16] <xtknight> gregg: what program are you trying to use?
[12:16] <Renato> xtknight: after a week of fight I've got right now to dial-up
[12:17] <ktulu-> hi.. i'm having trouble having my HP printer detected. i followed the instructions for hplip but it can't see the printer at all. when i do "dmesg"  after connecting the cable, it says that some printer is connected, but when i add the printer, it can't detect any printers
[12:17] <Renato> xtknight: I'm so happy!
[12:17] <gregg> xtknight:  I have a lot of programs in windows I want to run
[12:17] <xtknight> gregg: any games or just general programs?
[12:17] <Renato> xtknight: but i'm here for anotehr question
[12:17] <xtknight> Renato: ok
[12:17] <sheriff> can i use openoffice.org 2.1 on dapper?
[12:17] <gregg> xtknight:  no games
[12:18] <xtknight> gregg: alright.  vmware is definitely preferred then.  you can try wine if you want to, but be ready to do a lot of work for little benefit vs. using vmware
[12:18] <bradley_> how would i downgrade my kernel?
[12:18] <xtknight> gregg: vmware is what i use to get work done, it works great.  wine is unreliable at the moment but vmware is perfect emulation
[12:19] <ReleaseX> when i try and install nvidia-glx i get this error nvidia-glx Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.9631 E: Broken Packages
[12:19] <gregg> xtknight:  how do I get vmware working and what would you suggest concerning hda2 mount?
[12:19] <xtknight> gregg: it may be wise now to try it on your own.  vmware has decent documentation and it's not too hard
[12:20] <bradley_> ReleaseX, have you upgraded your kernel? i ran into the same problem recently after my upgrade.
[12:20] <xtknight> gregg: did you get mount /dev/hda2 to work?
[12:20] <ReleaseX> bradley_, i think the kernel did upgrade yes
[12:20] <CorpseFeeder> I still can't use my swap space. I did sudo swapon /dev/hda3 and edited fstab to add line /dev/hda3 none swap 0 0 ...but still it is not showing up or working.. What do I do now???
[12:20] <xtknight> CorpseFeeder: how did you deduce that it was not functioning?
[12:20] <ziadoz> anyone know if its possible to install the chess game from feisty on edgy? :)
[12:21] <gregg> xtknight:  I did the sudo mount but now how do I see if it is working
[12:21] <xtknight> ziadoz: if you have the right dependencies sure
[12:21] <xtknight> gregg: ok.  remember the file explorer?  goto /media   hda2 should be listed
[12:21] <ReleaseX> bradley_, any idea why I need to do?
[12:21] <xoxo> hey guys, can anyone tell me how to make the icons on desktop smaller?
[12:21] <bradley_> ReleaseX, it messed up a bunch of stuff on my computer, it broke nvidia and my music plays all wonky. i am trying to figure out how to downgrade.
[12:21] <xtknight> xoxo: right click on an icon and click Stretch Icon
[12:21] <Jordan_U> ziadoz: What is the package name?
[12:21] <adop> felix_: how about saving the session?
[12:21] <ziadoz> xtknight, how can i find the dependancies, and the chess package name?
[12:21] <ziadoz> Jordan_U, no idea
[12:21] <xtknight> ziadoz: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[12:22] <gregg> xtknight:  it shows but says I don't have permissions to see
[12:22] <felix_> adop, you mean log out of gnome saving session and log in again?
[12:22] <CorpseFeeder> oh.. hang on.. maybe it is working, the system monitor says using 0 bytes of 1.0 Gb swap
[12:22] <xoxo> thanks xtknight
[12:22] <Jordan_U> ziadoz: There are a lot of chess applications available for Edgy
[12:23] <CorpseFeeder> I will wait and see if the computer automatically reboots again after about 5 minutes
[12:23] <adop> felix_: yes, i'm not sure though. i do have 2 sound cards but never had this problem
[12:23] <ziadoz> Jordan_U,  I was specifically after the one from the feisty alpha
[12:23] <xtknight> gregg: umm...odd.
[12:23] <Renato> People, I have a dial-up connection and can't update my system easily. I used the Edgy live CD at work (300KB/s) to get the .deb packages (upgraded and burned /var/cache/apt/archives onto an CD). Now I'm at home and wanting to install these packages to update my system.
[12:23] <xtknight> !ntfs | gregg
[12:23] <ubotu> gregg: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:23] <CorpseFeeder> the swap space does not show up under file systems in system monitor.. is that normal?
[12:23] <xtknight> gregg try those documents
[12:23] <EnsignRedshirt> According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/WindowsCodecs, I can install the w32codecs package from debian-multimedia. Is this a fairly standard practice for y'all?
[12:23] <felix_> adop, ahh ok, I'll try a full reboot then, I changed some settings, you know just in case
[12:24] <felix_> adop, but then I'll be back :D
[12:24] <adop> felix_: ok
[12:24] <Renato> I've put that packages from the CD to my local /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:25] <hnsn> i love you guys!!!
[12:25] <hnsn> etc
[12:25] <hnsn> haha
[12:25] <CorpseFeeder> how can I be sure if swap space if working and allocated properly? Where should I see it listed?
[12:25] <xtknight> CorpseFeeder: type 'mount | grep swap'   it should list it i think
[12:25] <Renato> when I try to upgrade apt ask me for downloading but it shouldn't right?
[12:25] <xtknight> any clues what to do for this error?  sda4 is not mounted  swapon: /dev/sda4: Device or resource busy
[12:26] <xtknight> !ntfs | gregg
[12:26] <ubotu> gregg: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:26] <xiq> CorpseFeeder: cat /proc/swaps
[12:26] <xtknight> gregg: try those documents above ^^
[12:26] <Renato> How to specify that apt-get upgrade should get the packages from cache not from internet???????????
[12:26] <CorpseFeeder> mount | grep swap does not output anything at all
[12:26] <gregg> xtknight:  why do you think it won't let me have permission?
[12:26] <Renato> man apt-* doesn't help
[12:26] <xtknight> CorpseFeeder: never mind, try xiq's command
[12:26] <xtknight> xiq: what does priority -1 mean under that command?
[12:27] <xtknight> gregg: could be a default behavior for security purposes.  did you read the ntfs docs?
[12:27] <Renato> People, I have a dial-up connection and can't update my system easily. I used the Edgy live CD at work (300KB/s) to get the .deb packages (upgraded and burned /var/cache/apt/archives onto an CD). Now I'm at home and wanting to install these packages to update my system.
[12:27] <Renato> How to do it?
[12:27] <xiq> xtknight: no idea ;)
[12:27] <pollywog> I installed gdm but it won't allow me a login saying I have a missing human theme file
[12:27] <CorpseFeeder> it says... "/dev/hda3                               partition       1052248 0       -1"
[12:27] <xtknight> yeah my swap is -1 too
[12:27] <xtknight> i dont know
[12:27] <CorpseFeeder> I guess it must be working now then.
[12:27] <pollywog> btw I installed the theme and restarted gdm but same problem
[12:27] <Jordan_U> ziadoz: Try: sudo apt-get install gnome-chess
[12:28] <ziadoz> Jordan_U,  tried that
[12:28] <CorpseFeeder> the computer hasn't rebooted itself again yet anyway....
[12:28] <Renato> :(
[12:28] <ziadoz> dont think its the one from feisty :\
[12:28] <bluefox83> why would xchat refuse a filesend from someone on your own network?
[12:28] <xiq> xtknight: i assume priority only starts to make sense if you have more than one swap partition. there is some more info in "man swapon"
[12:28] <Jordan_U> ziadoz: gnu-chess ?
[12:28] <Renato> :'(
[12:29] <ziadoz> ill take a look
[12:29] <xtknight> xiq: thanks.  doesnt seem to mention -1,
[12:29] <pollywog> bluefox83: did you check the logs?
[12:29] <wikityler> How do I find out the name of my network card, if it isn't eth0?
[12:29] <xtknight> xiq: it says see swapon(2).  how do i view swapon(2)?  i just did 'man swapon'?
[12:29] <Jordan_U> wikityler: lspci could help
[12:29] <varsendaggr> lord Seveas please help me.....   i broked my networking on my edgy system.....   my cable and everything works    i was configuring some stuff and it broke my setup...   i connect with a dsl modem and i thought    well if i just remove dhcp-3   and reinstall it it will work fine....    well i can't connect to the internet so i cannot reinstall the file
[12:29] <pollywog> wikityler: ifconfig -a
[12:29] <xiq> xtknight: man 2 swapon
[12:29] <bluefox83> i don't keep logs to my knowledge O.o
[12:29] <xtknight> xiq: ah , not available
[12:30] <pollywog> but you have to be root to use ifconfig
[12:30] <varsendaggr> i have about 4 different problems
[12:30] <pollywog> bluefox83: enable the logs and that might tell you what is wrong
[12:30] <Jordan_U> varsendaggr: It's Ok, the package is probably still there on your system in a .deb
[12:30] <asdf_> how do I nstall flash8 ?
[12:30] <ziadoz> Jordan_U, gnuchess doesnt seem to have an interface :\
[12:30] <xtknight> asdf_: only flash 7 and flash 9 beta are available for linux
[12:30] <xiq> xtknight: it would be in the dev manpages, it's a system call. it doesn't go into any more detail about priority -1 though. i really doubt it's important though.
[12:31] <xtknight> asdf_: flash 9 beta is pretty cool though, i suggest trying that.  its on adobe's labs site
[12:31] <felix_> adop, it works, thanks a lot for the help
[12:31] <asdf_> can you give me aurl?
[12:31] <gregg> xtknight:  I am looking over the docs now
[12:31] <xtknight> asdf_: google 'adobe labs flash 9 linux'  should come right up
[12:31] <Jordan_U> varsendaggr: What is the exact package name?
[12:31] <Gosha> !apache
[12:31] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:32] <adop> felix_: great
[12:32] <Jordan_U> !flash9 | adop

[12:32] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:32] <Colossus> I'm getting two devices for my one card: wlan0 and wmaster0. Which should I use to connect to the wireless network?
[12:32] <asdf_> !backports
[12:32] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[12:32] <adop> adop: no flash for me, thanks
[12:33] <xiq> zYe: just ask your question. don't ask to ask,
[12:33] <EnsignRedshirt> zYe: Many people care, but not everyone can.  Just ask your question to find out who can.
[12:33] <zYe> i have two hardrives, and obviously one has ubuntu on it
[12:34] <zYe> while my slave is not being recognized
[12:34] <erUSUL> Colossus: wlan0
[12:34] <omnius> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1473/  I need help with making script for Enemy Territory (sound issues)
[12:34] <zYe> ive tried cfdisk on root
[12:34] <zYe> but i only see one hd
[12:34] <pollywog> omnius I used to play that and I had to install oss-omu
[12:35] <CorpseFeeder> my computer just rebooted again at random... the swap space has been fixed, what else may be causing this?
[12:35] <Colossus> erUSUL: thanks.
[12:35] <pollywog> I think that is the name of it
[12:35] <pollywog> oss-emu
[12:35] <Jordan_U> zYe: try fdisk -l
[12:35] <erUSUL> Colossus: no problem ;)
[12:35] <xtknight> Jordan_U: I belive it needs to be 'sudo fdisk -l'
[12:35] <omnius> pollywog, I have resolved the sound issue, using the terminal....I need help with making a script for starting it up....  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1473/
[12:35] <xiq> CorpseFeeder: maybe try booting with apm=off?
[12:35] <Jordan_U> zYe: With sudo ")
[12:36] <pollywog> omnius do you use modprobe to start it?
[12:36] <zYe> still only see one IDE drive
[12:36] <CorpseFeeder> xiq: how?
[12:36] <EnsignRedshirt> Colossus: Do a memory check.  I think there is a memtest option when you boot.
[12:36] <adop> zYe: sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb ?
[12:36] <FifaFrazer> Hey, I've just started using lyX... How can i remove the auto-generated date below the title?  I've found a faq that tolds me to write some code in the preamble, but what is the preamble? and how do I edit it?
[12:36] <asdf_> how do I install flashplyer for x86_64?
[12:36] <xiq> CorpseFeeder: is it doing a proper reboot, or does it just 'bleep' as if you hit the reset button?
[12:36] <zYe> ahhhhhhh
[12:36] <zYe> there it is
[12:37] <xtknight> asdf_: can't really.  you have to install a 32-bit version of firefox
[12:37] <asdf_> argh
[12:37] <CorpseFeeder> it doesn't bleep.
[12:37] <omnius> pollywog http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1473/
[12:37] <CorpseFeeder> it doesn't do a POST or anything
[12:37] <zYe> but it says it already has a partition adop
[12:37] <toulouse> ey guys, i have a problem (i think, im not sure) --when i boot up, it tells me that the file system check died and that i need to hit ctrl+d to continue
[12:37] <pollywog> omnius: having a look
[12:37] <zYe> linx swap / solaris
[12:38] <zYe> if so should i be able to access it?
[12:38] <xiq> CorpseFeeder: ok.. EnsignRedshirt's suggestion of doing a memtest is a good idea. it should be one of the options on the livecd.
[12:38] <adop> zYe: hdb1?
[12:38] <zYe> yes
[12:38] <pollywog> Omnius: used the same trick for ET
[12:38] <pollywog> put that line in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[12:38] <adop> zYe: and you want to mount it right?
[12:38] <zYe> yes
[12:38] <omnius> pollywog, which line :)
[12:39] <xiq> CorpseFeeder: but to boot with apm off, at the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the entry, go to the longest line and press 'e' again, add "apm=off" to the end of it, then press 'b' to book.
[12:39] <pollywog> omnius: echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[12:39] <xiq> CorpseFeeder: s/book/boot/
[12:39] <zYe> this is my first time off a windows machine -_-
[12:39] <zYe> lawl
[12:39] <pollywog> put it near the bottom of bootmisc.sh
[12:39] <xmal> hi adop
[12:39] <pollywog> before the line that says exit
[12:39] <toulouse> ey guys, when i boot, it tells me that the file system check died, What Should I do? is this a major problem?
[12:40] <adop> zYe: good move
[12:40] <zYe> yes
[12:40] <beem> my install has hung up twice now at various points :(
[12:40] <adop> xmal: xi
[12:40] <zYe> i just hope i can figure all this out in good time
[12:40] <zYe> adop: how do i mount this drive?
[12:40] <I-04> no one's answering in #kubuntu, so i'll ask here:  i compiled gaim 2.0beta5 by myself, but adept thinks the 1.5 version in the repos is "newer" how can i prevent it from installing 1.5 over beta5 when i dist-upgrade?
[12:41] <pollywog> omnius: the line will be executed each time you reboot

[12:43] <xtknight> gregg: did you read vmware docs?

[12:43] <deepbluegene> erusul:i added an entry but it is not working. how i can now the exact verion of linux kernel and initrtd .i am using ubuntu 6.10
[12:43] <pollywog> omnius: the bootmisc.sh is a shell script so all you need is that one line I posted, put it near the bottom of the file but before the exit line.
[12:43] <adop> zYe: and edit /etc/fstab
[12:43] <zYe> adop: when i did that in the terminal nothing happened
[12:43] <pollywog> let me check my file, some have no exit line
[12:43] <gregg> I went to the site and downloaded the file to desktop
[12:43] <erUSUL> deepbluegene: wait a minute
[12:43] <omnius> pollywog, thank you very much :)
[12:43] <gregg> xtknight: I went to the site and downloaded the file to desktop
[12:44] <pollywog> omnius: at the very bottom of the file
[12:44] <adop> zYe: well... sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/sdb1
[12:44] <pollywog> mine has no "exit" line
[12:44] <deepbluegene> erusul:ok

[12:49] <ubotu> zYe: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:49] <BULLE> N6REJ: better uset he console app called sysv-rc-conf
[12:50] <BULLE> N6REJ: if the services come with working init scripts
[12:50] <zYe> do i have to do this on root?
[12:50] <N6REJ> i'm working on quasar and postgres
[12:50] <Flannel> N6REJ: postgres should have an init already
[12:50] <adop> zYe: you are
[12:50] <N6REJ> Flannel: yes it does
[12:51] <N6REJ> so it will autostart?
[12:51] <Flannel> N6REJ: correct
[12:51] <Flannel> N6REJ: I have no idea what the other one is, but if it's a server-ish thing, it almost certainly comes with one already too
[12:51] <zcat[1] > zYe: typically you do admin stuff in an admin account (the first login you create is an admin acount) and use sudo or gksudo for any command that needs root.
[12:51] <adop> zYe: there might be a problem with your ntfs partition. could you check you could see it from windows?
[12:51] <roxlu> is there a way to create an "image" of a ubuntu installation?
[12:51] <N6REJ> Flannel:  ok, quasar has 2 parts, a client and a server.  The server command is gksudo /opt/bin/quasar/quasard
[12:52] <zcat[1] > roxlu: partimage
[12:52] <zYe> windows was installed on my primary, i have totally wiped it out now
[12:52] <xmal> i need to installfor firdt time what i should do !
[12:52] <Mersault> My installation of mplayer has stopped accepting ESC as a way of killing the video window. This happened when I upgraded to Edgy. Anyone have any ideas why?
[12:52] <Flannel> N6REJ: check in /etc/init.d/ for a quasar file
[12:52] <kitche> roxlu: yes there is 3 ways to do it but I use partimage myself it's just like ghost which is what I m used to
[12:52] <zybreak> can you help me connect to a NFS share using the "places->connect to server" program?
[12:52] <N6REJ> Flannel ok, one second please.
[12:52] <zYe> i want to reformat hdb
[12:52] <adop> zYe: great to see someone doing his homework. Very well but!!
[12:52] <roxlu> kitche: oke great
[12:52] <xmal> i need to install #ubuntu for first time what i should do !
[12:52] <zybreak> I dont thave the NFS option in there. very annoying
[12:53] <Flannel> !install | xmal
[12:53] <ubotu> xmal: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[12:53] <zYe> i think i am getting confused
[12:53] <zYe> lol
[12:53] <adop> zYe: ok didn't get that, sorry
[12:53] <kitche> zybreak: did you install NFS?
[12:53] <xiq> Mersault: perhaps a change in /etc/mplayer/input.conf ? add a line "ESC quit" if you want.
[12:53] <roxlu> kitche: and it also saves all installed application etc?
[12:53] <zybreak> kitche: yes, i have it installed
[12:53] <Flannel> N6REJ: you didn't get quasar from the repositories, correct?
[12:53] <Mersault> xiq: that line is already there.
[12:53] <aMoRPHeouS> if my network adapter isn't recognised by Ubuntu what can I do?
[12:53] <kitche> roxlu: yes it makes a file called whatever you want ex backup.000
[12:53] <zybreak> kitche: and i can do a mount manually, but i want to be able to do it through the GUI as well
[12:53] <jin> !nvidia
[12:53] <N6REJ> Flannel: that is correct, its not available in the repos YET, so I'm doing a source build.
[12:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:54] <N6REJ> Flannel: it uses xinetd if that helps
[12:54] <xiq> Mersault: hmm, dunno, sorry.

[12:54] <zYe> no
[12:54] <bds> Good evening, I have a friend who would like to install Ubuntu along side his windows partition on laptop.  He does not have a CDROM but has a wireless internet connection
[12:54] <zYe> i want a totally linx based system
[12:54] <aMoRPHeouS> !hardware
[12:54] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:54] <zYe> total*
[12:54] <bds> How can he do this without a CD rom?
[12:54] <toulouse> Flannel: hey man, when i boot up it tells me that file system check (fsck) failed, and that to continue press ctrl+d-----is this a problem? it's quite annoying
[12:55] <lufis> What is up with Ktorrent "stalling" torrents for hours on end?
[12:55] <LucianSolaris> does anyone know if gpg will support 16384 bit keys if the source is edited and compiled to allow such size?
[12:55] <bds> CD rom = CDROM drive
[12:55] <adop> zYe: ok here it goes: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
[12:55] <aMoRPHeouS> !drivers
[12:55] <zcat[1] > LucianSolaris: paranoid much?
[12:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <aMoRPHeouS> !driver
[12:55] <kitche> bds: there is couple of ways to do it but the easiest is to hook a usb drive up to it and use that
[12:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about driver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <toulouse> !fsck
[12:55] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[12:56] <kitche> bds: you cna use a usb drive also if it's big enough and if the laptop does usb boot
[12:56] <calamari> LucianSolaris: the people at #crypto might have an answer for that one
[12:56] <RichardC> im having a problem with the Feisty Fawn Herd 2 server install cd
[12:56] <LucianSolaris> zcat[1]  not paranoia (as I should not be questioned why I would want a larger keysize) as much as it is a curiosity
[12:56] <N6REJ> Flannel: no, there is nothing in init.d for quasar... here is the section on server config for quasar... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1479/
[12:56] <bds> kitche: No USB drive other than a 512MB thumb drive, is there a micro install?
[12:56] <kitche> RichardC: ask in #ubuntu+1 there is a problem with the install cd but they should help you more with feisty
[12:56] <kitche> !mini
[12:56] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[12:57] <zYe> adop this is just basically going to make a filesystem#2 right?
[12:57] <toulouse> ey guys, my filesystem check fails, what should i do?
[12:57] <wick2o> bds: server install is only about 250-300 meg
[12:57] <kitche> bds: you might be able to get that on the usb drive
[12:57] <wick2o> then you can apt-get whatever you need from there
[12:57] <kitche> wick2o: but can't install it without a cdrom drive unless you put it on a usb drive first
[12:57] <N6REJ> did you ge that Flannel ?
[12:57] <Flannel> N6REJ: yes
[12:57] <N6REJ> k
[12:57] <zYe> except it is going to be clean
[12:58] <zcat[1] > first time I saw fiesty herd2 I thought someone had done an ubuntu/HURD version..
[12:58] <roxlu> when I want to synchronise two directories, can I just use "cp" ?
[12:58] <Flannel> N6REJ: do you have a /etc/xinetd.d/quasar ?
[12:58] <bds> kitche: Thank you :)
[12:58] <varsendaggr> is there anyway to reset my network configuration?
[12:58] <wick2o> roxlu: wouldnt you want rsync for that?
[12:58] <N6REJ> Flannel: just as an FYI, my config is quasar is running on another machine and I will be using a client to access it.
[12:58] <mataks_> how to mount ntfs that is accessable?
[12:58] <N6REJ> let me look
[12:58] <bds> wick2o: Thank you as well
[12:58] <jin> is  Ubuntu 7.04  stable?
[12:58] <roxlu> dunno ? had some problems using rsync
[12:58] <zcat[1] > !ntfs | mataks_
[12:58] <ubotu> mataks_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:59] <adop> zYe: no, in linux formating and creation of a filesystem are 2 different tasks. with mkfs you make a filesystem structure on a partition, you don't actually format it.
[12:59] <wick2o> mataks: there is some ntfstools you can install to allow you to read
[12:59] <N6REJ> yes
[12:59] <wick2o> last i checked writing was still buggy
[12:59] <zcat[1] > adop: how is making a filesystem different from 'formatting' one ?
[12:59] <xmal> why it's  important to burn cd during install stage!!!!!
[12:59] <N6REJ> Flannel: yes its there.
[01:00] <mataks_> wick2o: where?
[01:00] <zYe> so basically what happened is i have a ntfs and a links partition on one hd?
[01:00] <kitche> adop: that doesn't make sense since mkfs is how you format a drive
[01:00] <Flannel> N6REJ: if that's the case, then do what it syas in that pastebin ;) restart your xinetd, and quasar will start (and it'll start on bootup too, already doing that)
[01:00] <zYe> linux*
[01:00] <N6REJ> Flannel: sweet! tyvm!
[01:00] <wick2o> sudo apt-get -ys install ntfstools
[01:00] <zcat[1] > "mkdosfs -F32 /dev/hda1 " is basically exactly the same as "format C:"
[01:00] <wick2o> (remote s to install)
[01:01] <mataks_> ok i'll try
[01:01] <wick2o> id suggest googling and going to their website to make sure thats what you want
[01:01] <adop> zcat[1] : well formating in win world usually comes with the meaning of low level formating (as in floppy) and creating a filesystem. That is what sometimes is confusing to someone coming to linux
[01:01] <varsendaggr> Jordan_U, hey i am back to the point where i have dhcp3 installed.....
[01:01] <zcat[1] > adop: if that were true, there would be far fewer ppl buying drives on ebay and recovering all the 'formatted' files.. :)
[01:02] <wick2o> buying drives from ebay can be quite the treasure hunt
[01:02] <jin> is  Ubuntu 7.04  stable?
[01:02] <toulouse> hey guys, my file system check fails, what should i do?
[01:02] <wick2o> more ppl should use wipe
[01:02] <un_operateur> jin, it's stabilising
[01:02] <Stormx2> wipe?
[01:03] <kitche> jin: well not really for normal users
[01:03] <toulouse> !wipe
[01:03] <jin> so, in other words, it is not lol
[01:03] <ubotu> wipe: Secure file deletion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.20-2 (edgy), package size 34 kB, installed size 120 kB
[01:03] <adop> zcat[1] : well if you format a drive with a linux tool, you actually do  a low level format, so no data to recover.
[01:03] <toulouse> adop: if my file system check fails, is this something to worry about?
 :)
 serioI have problem with the sound in ubuntu since I reinstalled it
[01:03] <DiOXin>  does'nt work
[01:03] <DiOXin>  Ubuntu finds my soundcard (VIA8237 integrated with the motherboard) it looks like it use to when I'm playing music - but no sound
[01:03] <DiOXin>  I tried the modprobe and alsamixer turned off all ICE-stuff since the soundcard does'nt support that
[01:03] <DiOXin>  so... what to do next?
[01:03] <kitche> adop: umm I can grab a linux drive that has been formatted and grab bunch of files off of it
[01:04] <zcat[1] > adop: also not true; 'format C:' in dos or windows lays down a filesystem, it doesn't overwrite any of the existing data. mkfs in linux lays down a filesystem, it doesn't erase any of the existing data.
[01:04] <un_operateur> toulouse, errm, yes, why else would there be a file system check ? :)
[01:04] <crimsun> DiOXin: pastebin ``amixer''
[01:04] <kralcymerej> I am a complete Linux idiot and am having huge problems with my gnome-panels sometimes loading and sometimes not loading when I boot up my computer can anyone help?
[01:04] <kitche> adop: as long as it's not overwritten with 0's you can probably grab data or parial
[01:04] <DiOXin> Ive tried alsamixer, is that what you mean?
[01:05] <crimsun> DiOXin: no.
[01:05] <toulouse> un_operateur: that's what i figured, ok so i tried to install a different distro on a seperate partition, and then this file system check failure thing shows up at boot, what should i do?
[01:05] <Rprp> Well, my sound is coming again 3/4 seconds later if im gaming, I installed libopenal0a, alsa-oss, etc... no other music progs are running, so. whats wrong?
[01:05] <un_operateur> toulouse, it's a warning you create a backup before doing anything further (i.e. if you have important data on the partition) .. in most cases an fsck can normalize the partition
 okej! I see what you meen, I wrote amixer - everything seems to work. BUT STILL NO SOUND
[01:06] <p00fieus_maximus> I am thinking of doing some virtual machienes for some students... Is it ok if I have pre-made Xubuntu VM's set up for them? or must they install it themselves? TIA :)
[01:06] <un_operateur> !fsck
[01:06] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[01:06] <crimsun> DiOXin: you have to pastebin the output from that command and tell me the url so I can help you.
[01:06] <DiOXin> hm.. pastebin the output.. ? huh? how?
[01:07] <crimsun> !paste |DiOXin
[01:07] <zcat[1] > what causes reiserfs to get corrupted to the point of having to rebuild trees? My box got that way recently and afaik it's never had an unclean shutdown or anything (it hardly ever gets shut down at all..)
[01:07] <ubotu> DiOXin: paste 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)
[01:07] <calamari> p00fieus_maximus: Ubuntu is free.. do what you want with it! :)
[01:07] <p00fieus_maximus> ok
[01:07] <p00fieus_maximus> :)
[01:07] <p00fieus_maximus> TY
[01:07] <PhibreOptix> !free
[01:07] <ubotu> freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing
[01:07] <zcat[1] > "It's not the software that is free. It's you."
[01:07] <kralcymerej> I am searching for suggestions as to why sometimes my gnome-panels load on startup and sometimes they do not?
[01:07] <up365> DiOXin: you can also try this link http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 it worked for my SB Live
[01:08] <PhibreOptix> Anybody know why my Ubuntu keeps freezing when I leave it idle?
[01:08] <p00fieus_maximus> Just jokeing :)
[01:08] <DiOXin> I've read there, did not help. But what shall I paste - my problem? the bashcode?
[01:08] <mataks_> what's the shortcut keys to start up a terminal?
[01:08] <crimsun> DiOXin: the output from ``amixer''
[01:08] <kralcymerej> It seems that sometimes when I ctrl+alt+F1 and killall gnome-panel and then reboot it works and sometimes it does not! can anyone help me please?
[01:08] <DiOXin> ah, thanks :)
[01:09] <un_operateur> zcat[1] , well, a process might have been interrupted while writing data to disk for example or sometimes the metadata (i.e. journal and file table) becomes stale, corrupt, etc
[01:09] <PhibreOptix> Anybody know why my Ubuntu keeps freezing when I leave it idle?
[01:09] <DiOXin> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1481/   there it is!
[01:09] <kralcymerej> help?
[01:10] <Rprp> Well, my sound is coming again 3/4 seconds later if im gaming, I installed libopenal0a, alsa-oss, etc... no other music progs are running, so. whats wrong?
[01:10] <ray_> Hi all. My question is about remote administration. I'd like to connect to my other pc, running XP. What software should I use on Ubuntu (is grdp enough?), and what should I install on MS XP to create a that kind of server?
[01:10] <zcat[1] > having to fsck resierfs is murder....
[01:10] <BULLE> zcat[1] : bad joke
[01:10] <zcat[1] > it takes quite a long time. I'm sure ext3's fsck's are quicker
[01:11] <zcat[1] > Umm.. yeah. Poor choice or words :)
[01:11] <zcat[1] > *of
[01:11] <crimsun> DiOXin: your PCM is set _very_ low.
[01:11] <Flannel> ray_: rdesktop may be what you're looking for
[01:11] <crimsun> DiOXin: raise it to at least 70%
[01:11] <kralcymerej> Can anyone help me with my gnome-panels?
[01:12] <crimsun> kralcymerej: create a new user and attempt to reproduce the symptoms with that new user account
[01:12] <ray_> Flannel: ok, but I need to install sthg on XP, yes?
[01:12] <Flannel> ray_: no.
[01:12] <PhibreOptix> Anybody know why my Ubuntu keeps freezing when I leave it idle?
[01:13] <ray_> Flannel: so I'm just using login and pass from any user installed on XP, yes?
[01:13] <Flannel> ray_: believe so, yes.
[01:13] <ray_> thanks a lot :)
[01:14] <DiOXin> Okey I changed my PCM to 100 insted of 6, still no sound :/

[01:15] <toulouse> un_operateur: i think i have figured out the problem with my file system check, the partition that has the problems does Not have a mountpoint when i look at it, how do i set a mountpoint?
[01:16] <varsendaggr> hey i have a system with a working ubuntu internet connection and one that doesn't have a working internet connection....     what files can i copy over to get it to work?
[01:16] <Flannel> Steve_Laptop: your site configuration (/etc/apache/sites-available/)

[01:17] <varsendaggr> dhcp3
[01:17] <theacolyte> Am I correct in assuming I can use the AMD64 build with EMT64?
[01:18] <varsendaggr> ....   rather the whole internet connection.....   i know i have a set of config files that are woring and another set that are not working      and i can just cp them over and maybe change some device names

[01:19] <toulouse> guys, how do i set a mountpoint for a partition???
[01:19] <toulouse> i think that is why my fsck is failing
[01:19] <domas> toulouse: in fstab?
[01:20] <toulouse> cause the partition that is messing up doesnt have a mountpoint
[01:20] <toulouse> i dunno, when i boot up it says :
[01:20] <toulouse> file system check failed
[01:20] <toulouse>  press ctrl+d to continue
[01:20] <toulouse> and "you need to fix this manually"
[01:20] <DiOXin> what next, I changed the PCM in amixer and so on.. no sound!
[01:20] <DiOXin> what next, I changed the PCM in amixer and so on.. no sound!
[01:20] <adop> toulouse: what type of partition is it?
[01:20] <crimsun> DiOXin: first, is this a laptop?
[01:21] <DiOXin> no
[01:21] <crimsun> DiOXin: please use tab-completion on my irc nick, else I'll miss your responses
[01:21] <toulouse> adop: im not sure: it's name is /dev/sda6 and it's an ext3 filesystem
[01:21] <Steve_Laptop> Flannel, ok thanks but now im lost... I looking to get apache to look @ home/testing/www for the ..html's hows this done?
[01:21] <Jade> hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the System => Administration => Networking tool (Edge 6.10 on a laptop)
[01:22] <crimsun> DiOXin: next, mute 'External Amplifier'
[01:22] <adop> toulouse: when you check it what does it say?
[01:22] <kero_> Hello, risking lokig like a complete fool, how do I install kernel sources from ubuntu. All I could find was some 2.4.* .... my sources.list http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1482/
[01:22] <DiOXin> okej, shall I mute it?
[01:22] <crimsun> kero_: because we use linux-source, not kernel-source
[01:22] <toulouse> adop: it just says this error at boot-up, i dont know how to check it
[01:23] <zYe> gosh
[01:23] <kero_> crimsun, thank you
[01:23] <Flannel> Steve_Laptop: um, in that directory (/etc/apache2/sites-available/), you'll see a file, 'default' probably.  you'll see a "DocumentRoot" directive, currently it's /var/www, change that, and it'll look elsewhere
[01:23] <teefive> i'm tryin to pxe-install edgy on i386, but the installer tries to download dists/dapper/Release. any idea where to change that ?
[01:23] <zYe> this thing is just not helping me at all
[01:23] <Jade> the handy gui configuration tool thing has kinda died, though I can still configure networking via the terminal. Is there any chance of fixing that? or should I report a bug or something?
[01:23] <bobesponja> hey all
[01:23] <DiOXin> its already muted.
[01:23] <Steve_Laptop> Flannel, ok thanks again

[01:25] <DinCahill> does anyone know any good Ubuntu software for iPod? i tried Rhythmbox but it gave me some mp3 error
[01:25] <toulouse> adop: it says clean
[01:25] <toulouse> maybe it's not that partition that's causing the trouble
[01:26] <bosko> Hi, I just downloaded the newest version of Ubuntu Desktop and tried to boot up/install it, and it begins loading but it seems to hang at the last chunk of the loading bar. It doesn't even seem to keep reading the CD, just sits there. any idea what could be wrong?
[01:26] <DinCahill> i also tried getting gtkpod but apt-get but it cant find gtkpod
[01:26] <toulouse> adop: ok, so that must not be my problem, so i can check the other partition right? do you know how to unmount them?
[01:26] <DiOXin> okej.. its on "0" according to the amixer output, and also according to alsamixer
[01:27] <un_operateur> dsnyders, does it have to be a GUI? are you comfortable with the command line?
[01:27] <drbair> I'm looking to install ubuntu on a premade LVM2 on RAID0 setup. Can the standard kubuntu or server installer do this?
[01:27] <milaks> Hello. Is it possible to run "Britannica 2007" under ubuntu?
[01:27] <un_operateur> drbair, errm, i dont think so
[01:27] <toulouse> milaks: !wine
[01:28] <toulouse> !wine | milaks
[01:28] <ubotu> milaks: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:28] <milaks> wel is it possible under wine?
[01:28] <toulouse> i dunno
[01:28] <som1> whats the idea about putting just xchat-gnome and not xchat on the 32bit thing
[01:28] <toulouse> wikipedia :)
[01:28] <som1> and not having wine/nicotine
[01:28] <som1> or some other stuff
[01:28] <bosko> does no one know what the problem im takling about is?
[01:29] <toulouse> adop: you there?
[01:29] <adop> zYe: use cfdisk to erase all your partitions on hdb and create a new one. Then use mkfs to create a filesystem on that partition
[01:29] <milaks> everything I've tried to run through wine lately ended in an bitter fail
[01:29] <dsnyders> un_operateur, I would prefer gui, but command is OK, I suppose.
[01:29] <milaks> ine sucks
[01:29] <milaks> wine
[01:29] <dsnyders> un_operateur, make that strongly prefer gui.
[01:30] <adop> toulouse: sudo umount "partition"
[01:30] <toulouse> okie dokie
[01:30] <un_operateur> dsnyders, well, by all means keep hunting for a GUI .. but i prefer to just tar up the entire drive and split the archive up into chunks that'll fit onto DVDs .. check the manpages of tar, bzip2, and split

[01:37] <N6REJ> bluedog have you searched the wiki?
[01:37] <pollywog> I guess reboot is the only way
[01:37] <Bluedog> I will look :)
[01:37] <crimsun> Moosejaw: well find out what type of WPA you're using.
[01:37] <Moosejaw> crimsun do you use wpa?
[01:37] <zYe> adop:what style partition should i make? primary or logical? i have no idea
[01:37] <Bluedog> shoulda done that first
[01:37] <N6REJ> k
[01:37] <crimsun> Moosejaw: I use WPA-2.
[01:37] <N6REJ> np
[01:37] <Moosejaw> ok.
[01:37] <agent> pollywog: you do not restart init.d, you restart the scripts in that folder
[01:37] <Moosejaw> but i just have to make the wpa supplicant correct?
[01:37] <N6REJ> just as an FYI some boards don't hibernate well
[01:37] <adop> zYe: primary
[01:37] <agent> pollywog: init.d is not a program
[01:37] <pollywog> agent: thanks
[01:38] <crimsun> Moosejaw: you need to edit two files, yes.
[01:38] <pollywog> agent: not init.d
[01:38] <Moosejaw> which 2?
[01:38] <pollywog> I said I\inetd
[01:38] <pollywog> inetd
[01:38] <Tox> is there any tool to configure mouse exept the system configuration ?
[01:38] <zYe> adop: now to mounting it correct?
[01:38] <crimsun> Moosejaw: /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[01:38] <Moosejaw> ok...
[01:38] <agent> pollywog: ok, i misread that then :)
[01:38] <pollywog> in every other Linux I have used, killall -HUP inetd does it
[01:38] <adop> zYe: not yes, first the filesystem: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
[01:39] <pollywog> or there is a script in /etc/init.d for it
[01:39] <un_operateur> Tox, what's wrong with gnome-mouse-properties?
[01:39] <pollywog> but I do not see one here
[01:39] <DiOXin> crimsun....
[01:39] <Moosejaw> i am unsure what to put in the interfaces section
[01:39] <DBO> does anyone know a good reason why "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" would produce no sound (no errors either).  The speakers are working correctly, verified in a live CD.
[01:39] <crimsun> DiOXin: I'm awaiting your response to my latest command
[01:39] <zYe> adop: ok
[01:39] <Tox> its ok but i want to use all 5 mouse buttons
[01:39] <Gunnar__> Anyone know of a place where I can download the ubuntu *.deb to burn to a DVD?
[01:39] <DiOXin> to MUTE Ext. Amp
[01:39] <DiOXin> I'v done that
[01:40] <un_operateur> pollywog, IIRC, inetd needs to be installed (correct me if i am wrong)
[01:40] <Jordan_U> DBO: Do you have more than one sound card?
[01:40] <Flannel> N6REJ: no idea.  you might try askingin #postgres or #postgresql (no idea which one of those is official)
[01:40] <crimsun> DiOXin: using the amixer command I gave you?
[01:40] <agent> pollywog: are you sure you have inetd running?
[01:40] <DiOXin> yes
[01:40] <Tox> and lookin for alternate software to configure it
[01:40] <adop> zYe: now: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:40] <DBO> Jordan_U, no
[01:40] <crimsun> DiOXin: and what does ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'' give you?
[01:40] <pollywog> un_operateur: that is possible but I already have a /etc/inetd.conf
[01:40] <DiOXin> I'll see..
[01:40] <Moosejaw> crimsun: what do i put in the interfaces?
[01:40] <Jordan_U> DBO: I assume nothing else ( like aplay ) works either ?
[01:41] <pollywog> yikes you are right, no inetd is installed
[01:41] <agent> pollywog: try pkill -HUP inted
[01:41] <crimsun> Moosejaw: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1485/
[01:41] <Tox> ive changed x config but 2 extra buttons only changing my desktops i cant set it on i.e. unreal tournament as key bind
[01:41] <mnoir> !mouse | Tox I just got back - have you looked here -
[01:41] <ubotu> Tox I just got back - have you looked here -: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[01:41] <varsendaggr> crimsun, i have a laptop where the network is working and a desktop where the configuration is not allowing me to get on the internet.   i changed some things is the settings....   is there a way to reconfigure the network on the desktop...   or copy files form the laptop to the desktop?
[01:41] <DiOXin> It gives me; Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/startup.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
[01:41] <pollywog> I have never seen a Linux without either inetd or xinetd installed
[01:41] <DiOXin> but still no sound
[01:41] <crimsun> DiOXin: can you hear it?
[01:41] <adop> zYe: and append - /dev/hdb1    /media/hdb1 ntfs  nls=utf8,umask=0222 0    0
[01:41] <Bluedog> N6REJ, I've read all the docs, and all the correct stuff is enabled
[01:41] <DiOXin> no
[01:41] <Bluedog> it goes down fine, but doesnt come back up..
[01:41] <DiOXin> I can't
[01:41] <BULLE> pollywog: its not that uncommon that it doesnt get installed nowadays, very few things still use inted
[01:41] <aMoRPHeouS> hey, I'm having a problem installing my network drivers on Ubuntu 6.10: http://www.pastebin.ca/315891 <--- I get an error when I try to run this install script :/
[01:42] <archangelpetro> does anyone have any 'lag' issues with ubuntu amd64 when torrenting? I.e. the rest of the network becoming unusable?
[01:42] <Tox> tnx again mnoir :)
[01:42] <agent> pollywog: ubuntu is wacky like that :)
[01:42] <mnoir> hth
[01:42] <Moosejaw> crimsun: thats all i do?  cut and paste that?
[01:42] <pollywog> BULLE: but ktalk was installed and not having a working inetd is a BAD think in that case
[01:42] <pollywog> thing*
[01:42] <un_operateur> pollywog, you only need [x] inetd if you are going to run services that depend on them -- so for the average desktop user installing inetd has no real benefit
[01:42] <crimsun> DiOXin: amixer set 'Surround' 80%,80% && amixer set 'LFE' 80%
[01:43] <crimsun> Moosejaw: you need to add that portion
[01:43] <pollywog> un_operateur: correct, so they should not have installed ktalk
[01:43] <Moosejaw> ok
[01:43] <crimsun> Moosejaw: make sure you don't already have an existing eth1 stanza
[01:43] <adop> zYe: sorry, I ment - /dev/hdb1    /media/hdb1 ext3  0    0
[01:43] <BULLE> pollywog: ktalk implies a kde program, right ? if so, its kubuntu that ist he culprit, as normal ubuntu is only gnome based, but yes, its a broken package imho, and ktalk should have the correct dependencies set for it
[01:43] <pollywog> BULLE: no I do not think ktalk is part of kde
[01:43] <chiarato_> I
[01:43] <Jordan_U> aMoRPHeouS: Are you using Edgy?
[01:43] <un_operateur> pollywog, do you indeed have inetd running -- ps aux | grep -i inetd ?
[01:43] <varsendaggr> crimsun, any ideas?
[01:43] <crimsun> Moosejaw: if you want to connect automatically, you need to also add "auto eth1" on a separate line
[01:43] <pollywog> but it might be a kde version of talkd
[01:43] <N6REJ> blue, hang on, I'll get back with you if nobody else does.
[01:43] <BULLE> pollywog: well, i dont have any "ktalk" installed on my ubuntu install
[01:43] <crimsun> varsendaggr: ?
[01:44] <varsendaggr> crimsun, i have a laptop where the network is working and a desktop where the configuration is not allowing me to get on the internet.   i changed some things is the settings....   is there a way to reconfigure the network on the desktop...   or copy files form the laptop to the desktop?
[01:44] <aMoRPHeouS> Jordan_U: I have no idea what Edgy is
[01:44] <BULLE> pollywog: so its not installed per default
[01:44] <pollywog> un_operateur: no it is not installed but the conf file for it was there
[01:44] <crimsun> use a "usb thumb drive"
[01:44] <un_operateur> BULLE, sounds like a kde package
[01:44] <Jordan_U> aMoRPHeouS: 6.10, the newest version of Ubuntu
[01:44] <aMoRPHeouS> yes
[01:44] <BULLE> un_operateur: yes, i agree
[01:44] <pollywog> BULLE I assure you I would not and did not install any talk daemon
[01:44] <crimsun> DBO: is ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'' also inaudible?
[01:44] <varsendaggr> crimsun, yeah        but what files do i need to copy over?
[01:44] <BULLE> pollywog: just use dpkg-query to find out what package the file belongs to ?
[01:44] <pollywog> whether talk or ktalk
[01:44] <DBO> crimsun, yeah fixed it
[01:45] <pollywog> k
[01:45] <un_operateur> pollywog, errr, to come to think about it, just because a configuration file for a peice of software exists doesn't necessarily mean the software does exist.. :)
[01:45] <DBO> crimsun, the user was... stupid, you dont want to know what he did
[01:45] <aMoRPHeouS> Jordan_U: yes, I am
[01:45] <crimsun> varsendaggr: difficult to say without further hw & config details
[01:45] <pollywog> un_operateur: but in this case the presence of the file would make the user think they had protection they in fact do not have
[01:45] <zYe> atop could you repeat that
[01:46] <zYe> just what i will need to put into the terminal
[01:46] <chiarato_> I've used alien to change from rpm to deb (real player 10) then I installed but there's no icons application/audio & video and then I tried to view a video that requires real player but didn't work help please!!

[01:46] <pollywog> the talk daemon is an invitation to trouble esp without inetd
[01:46] <mnoir> STOP IT
[01:46] <un_operateur> pollywog, well, it's like saying -- Mr Smith over the road has a garage in his house, therefore he must have a car!! :)
[01:46] <crimsun> don't flood, please.
[01:46] <Moosejaw> crimsun i am not sure if i am fully undertstanding...
[01:46] <DiOXin> sry :S
[01:46] <Moosejaw> how do i know its eth1?
[01:46] <pollywog> un_operateur: no that logic is faulty
[01:46] <pollywog> it is not the same thing
[01:46] <adop> zYe: ok first better check it: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1
[01:46] <Jordan_U> aMoRPHeouS: In that script, change the top from"#!/bin/sh" to "#!/bin/bash" then file a bug report with whoever made the script telling them not to use bashisms :)
[01:46] <crimsun> Moosejaw: do you have an onboard wired ethernet (lan) device, too?
[01:46] <BULLE> pollywog: so what package does the file belong to ?
[01:46] <adop> zYe: this should mount it
[01:47] <un_operateur> pollywog, just install inetd and be done with it :)
[01:47] <noobcook> does anyone here know how to use Enlightenment's Engage ?
[01:47] <aMoRPHeouS> ok Jordan_U. gonna have to boot back into Ubuntu. I'll be back if I have problems :P
[01:47] <varsendaggr> crimsun, i have a cable modem.....     and i have to change then nameserver form 192.186****   to 4.2.2.1   each time i need to use the net    i am using a ethernet cable    to connect
[01:47] <pollywog> it says the file is not installed
[01:47] <xtknight> noobcook: not really.  what is Engane?
[01:47] <pollywog> I did not put it there
[01:47] <xtknight> noobcook: Engage*
[01:47] <BULLE> pollywog: well, something did
[01:47] <crimsun> varsendaggr: why don't you try resolvconf, then?
[01:47] <BULLE> pollywog: and it was not any official ubuntu package
[01:47] <pollywog> BULLE: yeah the installer
[01:48] <varsendaggr> is that a program?
[01:48] <BULLE> pollywog: exactly where is this file ?
[01:48] <pollywog> I only installed 2 days ago
[01:48] <chiarato_> I've used alien to change from rpm to deb (real player 10) then I installed but there's no icons application/audio & video and then I tried to view a video that requires real player but didn't work help please!!
[01:48] <un_operateur> pollywog, lots of network-capable packages make changes to inetd.conf .. its possible one of them touched the file
[01:48] <BULLE> pollywog: full path please
[01:48] <varsendaggr> crimsun, is that a program?
[01:48] <zYe> how can i check to see if it is mounted
[01:48] <Odysseu1> Is this the place to ask questions for the "I know, I know" unstable Compiz and XGL Theme Mangers? [Edgy Eft] 
[01:48] <zYe> because it gave no response
[01:48] <noobcook> xtknight: its http://www.enlightenment.org a plugin for linux so u can have a OSX Tool bar i dont know how to use it once its installed though =(
[01:48] <pollywog>    /etc/inetd.conf
[01:48] <Moosejaw> crimsun yes
[01:48] <kitche> Odysseu1: #ubuntu-xgl will know more about them
[01:48] <BULLE> pollywog: well, i run ubuntu, and i have a completely empty inetd.conf
[01:48] <crimsun> varsendaggr: a package of the same name.
[01:48] <dsas> Has anyone got any idea about what package has produced the "ipod mounts read only" bug after updates in edgy?
[01:49] <pollywog> un_operateur: you just don't get it.  If the file is there it is for inetd daemon
[01:49] <BULLE> pollywog: so its most likely as un_operateur says, somethign added it there, dunno what
[01:49] <Odysseu1> Thank you kitche.
[01:49] <jmichaelx> can anyone tell me if they know of a good graphing calculator for linux? i need one for a pre-calc class i am taking
[01:49] <kitche> noobcook: you have a e-applet menu go there
[01:49] <BULLE> pollywog: i bet un_operateur is very awayre of the fact
[01:49] <crimsun> Moosejaw: then the lan is likely eth0 whereas the wan is eth1.
[01:49] <BULLE> pollywog: and what do you want him to do about it ?
[01:49] <adop> zYe: no response is good. It mounted it
[01:49] <noobcook> kitche: where abouts?
[01:49] <crimsun> Moosejaw: that's why I presumed eth1
[01:49] <pollywog> BULLE it is a bug in the install process, so is there a place I can report it?
[01:49] <un_operateur> pollywog, no, you just dont get it -- the file exists, the software doesnt -- why waste your time going on about it? lol
[01:49] <zYe> well how can i access it?
[01:49] <kitche> noobcook: should be listed there you might have to regenerate enlightenment's menu
[01:49] <wick2o> anyone try and replace there ubunut install tools with busy box for a smaller footprint?
[01:49] <pollywog> un_operateur: okay truce
[01:49] <BULLE> pollywog: first find out if it is the install process that actualy did it
[01:50] <justus> hi, do you know wether Ubuntu supports Dual Core CPUs and what drivers I need to make it work? it's an Intel Pentium 3 (or 4 I'm not sure atm) Dual Core @2,4ghz
[01:50] <xtknight> noobcook: neat.  i may try E17.  you're using ubuntu right?  how was it installing E17?  if i decide to ill let you know how (if) i get engage working
[01:50] <adop> zYe: use nautilus to go to /media/hdb1
[01:50] <chiarato_> I've used alien to change from rpm to deb (real player 10) then I installed but there's no icons application/audio & video and then I tried to view a video that requires real player but didn't work help please!!
[01:50] <adop> zYe: or cd ther
[01:50] <frootstripe> Hi ppl - i'm on Kubuntu, but channel seems inactive - cud someone tell me how to uninstall Moz-thunderbird extensions. I can't seem to locate where the ~/<thunderbird-dotfile is, either>
[01:50] <pollywog> BULLE what else could have done it? I am not trying to argue so let's forget it  :)
[01:50] <noobcook> xtknight: yeh ubuntu
[01:50] <BULLE> pollywog: as no one else seem to have that in their inetd.conf you should first find the bug, no one will do a thing about a bugreport that says "i found something in my inted.conf that i dont think shoudl be there"
[01:50] <noobcook> kitche: im not sure how to do that
[01:50] <DiOXin> and now?
[01:51] <mnoir> chiarato_: it was an rpm - that means it was not made with ubuntu in mind.  It might not work right in unpredictable ways.
[01:51] <zYe> ok it says it is a dir now atop
[01:51] <zYe> but can i only access it from the terminal?

[01:54] <grumbly> hello!  I'm new to ubuntu and I need a little help configuring my system.  I am more familiar with freebsd than linux so...  Anyhow, I've had some pretty crappy graphics and I would like to fix that-  And I know I probably need to tune the kernel (rebuilt/recompile??)...  Where do I go to find that info
[01:54] <wick2o> www.ubuntuforums.org
[01:54] <zYe> adop the entire drive is the /media/ director?
[01:54] <adop> zYe: the only problem now is that you have to mount it every time you boot your computer. to avoid that you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file
[01:55] <mnoir> grumbly: very few ppl 'tune the kernel' to improve their graphics
[01:55] <DiOXin> crimsum, are you getting tired of me :/ I promise, I do as you say but still no sound..

[01:55] <zcat[1] > errrr.. not what I was after
[01:55] <grumbly> mnoir: yeah, i know that much, but I would like to tune it anyhow.  Is tuning the correct term?
[01:55] <ozzloy> i just installed jflex and CUP with apt-get, how do i find out where they are?

[01:56] <zYe> well can you help me with editing my etc also?
[01:56] <grumbly> lspci or lsmod or somthing?
[01:56] <mnoir> grumbly: lotsa tuning, just seldom involves the kernel - ask specific questions  about your mon/vid card, 3d whatever, etc
[01:57] <adop> zYe: sudo gedit /etc/fstab

[01:58] <adop> zYe: didn't the editor pop
[01:58] <grumbly> mnoir: ok, thnks.  When I first boot, I get the grub screen which is fine.  After that, my monitor says Input not supported, then finally it drops into X.  (I'm running XFCE, not k or Gnome)  X is ok.  Before that is not
[01:58] <DiOXin> crimsum: right?
[01:58] <mnoir> DiOXin: marking helps you but not him :)
[01:58] <zYe> no
[01:58] <Moosejaw> crimsun i have the interfaces part done

[01:59] <mnoir> grumbly: but once you are in x you are happy?
[01:59] <jzaun> Hello :-)
[01:59] <crimsun> Moosejaw: ... that's not going to help. Find out.
[01:59] <DiOXin> crimsun: Now I can adress you!
[01:59] <kitche> ozzloy: packages are cached in /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:59] <grumbly> Happy is so Relative :)
[02:00] <mnoir> gr:)
[02:00] <crimsun> DiOXin: good. Now is audio audible after you execute: amixer set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' 3
[02:00] <grumbly> yeah, it works, but the graphics are slow and clunky
[02:00] <zYe> adop:

[02:00] <jzaun> I'm running gksu "update-manager -d" to upgrade to 7.04 I get an error "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)" but I can wget the file just fine. any ideas?
[02:00] <mnoir> grumbly: i am afraid you are at basics - check the logs and dmesg output  for vid problems
[02:00] <Moosejaw> well i have my one machine set up properly
[02:00] <grumbly> DMSG!!!! yeah........  ok so thats the same.  brb
[02:01] <adop> zYe: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:01] <zYe> 6.10
[02:01] <mnoir> grumbly: linux stole about as much as bsd stole back :)
[02:01] <DiOXin> crimsun: done!
[02:01] <mnoir> grumbly: it dmesg.....
[02:01] <mnoir> it=its :)
[02:01] <grumbly> I had always assumed they were similar enough for me to just kinda flip flop, with a little learning curve...
[02:02] <zYe> man i really wonder where i am supposed to learn all this stuff
[02:02] <grumbly> yeah, I know
[02:02] <mnoir> grumbly: yes and no
[02:02] <ozzloy> kitche: i meant where is the installed software now?
[02:02] <mnoir> grumbly: probably as similar as 2 diufferent linux distributions
[02:02] <grumbly> I am discovering that...  Some of the /etc stuff is named the same but the structure is significantly different
[02:02] <mnoir> grumbly: but all the concepts are very similar
[02:02] <Flannel> ozzloy: all over. config files are in /etc, binary in /usr/bin
[02:03] <aMoRPHeouS> can someone tell me what the default password for root is in Ubuntu?
[02:03] <Flannel> aMoRPHeouS: there is none.  root is disabled.
[02:03] <echosystm> there isnt one
[02:03] <Flannel> !root | aMoRPHeouS
[02:03] <ubotu> aMoRPHeouS: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:03] <zYe> adop can i just go find the fstab in the file system
[02:03] <mnoir> grumbly: you're significantly better off in debian than some others though - deb distros are very orthodox in layout
[02:03] <pollywog> aMoRPHeouS: you set one if you want one
[02:03] <grumbly> mnoir: that is what I have been reading
[02:04] <echosystm> aMoRPHeouS, when you were installing it would have asked you for a password for your user account
[02:04] <aMoRPHeouS> I tried to use my password, but it didn't work :/
[02:04] <Flannel> aMoRPHeouS: read that page before setting one though, ubuntu is setup so you don't need a root account
[02:04] <grumbly> Gentoo debian and slackware
[02:04] <adop> zYe: u have to edit it as root
[02:04] <echosystm> you use that password for sudo
[02:04] <zYe> damn
[02:04] <echosystm> you cant login as root
[02:04] <mnoir> grumbly: there is a document on the structure - http://www.pathname.com/http://www.pathname.com/fhs//
[02:04] <pollywog> aMoRPHeouS: it won't work until you enable the root user
[02:04] <aMoRPHeouS> I just need to install network drivers
[02:04] <Flannel> pollywog: stop it.  He needn't enable root
[02:04] <pollywog> k
[02:04] <echosystm> aMoRPHeouS, use sudo
[02:04] <adop> zYe: are you confortable with a terminal based editor?
[02:04] <grumbly> mnoir: you are very helpful... thanks for that (Bookmarked!)
[02:04] <aMoRPHeouS> but the driver installer says I need root privileges
[02:05] <zYe> you mean terminating gnome?
[02:05] <aMoRPHeouS> I tried sudo it asked for a password
[02:05] <echosystm> thats what sudo gives you aMoRPHeouS
[02:05] <zYe> ctrl alt backspace?
[02:05] <pollywog> Flannel so what should I have done when I had to install my network stuff?
[02:05] <adop> zYe: no just use your terminal to edit it.
[02:05] <mnoir> grumbly: there are some sysadm types here among the mass of 'users'
[02:05] <kitche> aMoRPHeouS: that is your user password
[02:05] <zYe> sure
[02:05] <pollywog> rather than enable the root user?
[02:05] <aMoRPHeouS> ok, I'll try again
[02:05] <adop> zYe: sudo vi /etc/fstab
[02:05] <Flannel> pollywog: use sudo.  or, if you really need a super user shell, sudo -i
[02:05] <echosystm> sudo allows whatever user youre logged in as to run commands as root
[02:05] <pollywog> ahh
[02:05] <pollywog> tnx
[02:05] <Flannel> adop, zYe, nano is probably a friendlier editor
[02:05] <felix_> how can I format a disk to fat32 from Ubuntu?
[02:05] <grumbly> mnoir: I wouldn't call myself an admin, but regular user I am not
[02:06] <DiOXin> crimsun: still no sound tough..
[02:06] <mnoir> grumbly: me neither but there is a level of experience, interests and approach that differs...
[02:06] <zYe> ill just do what you say adop :)
[02:06] <DiOXin> crimsun: I wrote the command you told me amixer set 'IEC...
[02:06] <noobcook> why is this so hard to install?
[02:06] <grumbly> INDEED
[02:06] <noobcook> omg
[02:07] <mnoir> grumbly: but this group is soo busy that this thread of ours is actually close to offtopic :)
[02:07] <adop> zYe: move the cursor at the bottom of the file with the arrow keys
[02:07] <grumbly> mnoir: ok, so my video chipset is (EMBARRASING) SiS ~
[02:07] <xtknight> can someone point me to a good guide telling me how to get E17 working on amd64?
[02:07] <grumbly> Sis 650
[02:07] <crimsun> DiOXin: good. Now is audio audible after you execute: amixer set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' 1
[02:07] <kitche> xtknight: enlightenment.org
[02:07] <xtknight> tad frustrating.  i added that one repo that supposedly has amd64 support but now it says it needs package 'enlightenment'.  i selected 'e17', a meta package.
[02:07] <grumbly> mnoir: HAH!  thats frikkin great!
[02:07] <xtknight> and enlightenment=0.16.999 is not available for amd64
[02:07] <pollywog> I think I have SiS650 on another machine but it runs Debian
[02:07] <zYe> hmm
[02:08] <ni1s> hello, is it possible to install Ubuntu through a chroot? I don't have a LiveCD nor a CD burner...
[02:08] <adop> zYe: are you on an empty line?
[02:08] <zYe> i dont really know what you mean adop
[02:08] <zYe> adop, yes
[02:08] <Flannel> !install | ni1s, instructions here

[02:08] <DiOXin> crimsun: done
[02:08] <DiOXin> what now?
[02:08] <xtknight> kitche: i did browse there for quite a while.  there are no ubuntu packages and the debian ones seem to be e16
[02:08] <adop> zYe:press i for insert
[02:08] <Flannel> ni1s: the "knoppix" install instructions, I believe.
[02:08] <zYe> ok
[02:09] <xtknight> kitche: i would prefer binaries as i had one hell of a time compiling it last time (and i would rate myself decent at compiling stuff).  but i can try again, lol
[02:09] <kitche> xtknight: there is no packages for e17 since it's not really stable in the eyes of the e devs
[02:09] <adop> now enter: /dev/hdb1  	/media/hdb1  	ext3  	defaults  	1 2
[02:09] <xtknight> oh and once i compiled it, it didnt even work properly ;D
[02:09] <melena_> I had a power failure and now my screen size for everything has doubled.  Any idea how I can get it back to the original size?
[02:09] <jzaun> I'm running gksu "update-manager -d" to upgrade to 7.04 I get an error "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)" but I can wget the file just fine. any ideas?
[02:10] <xtknight> hehe.  well ill give compiling a shot again.  thanks
[02:10] <mnoir> jzaun: go to #ubuntu+1 for feisty stuff
[02:10] <grumbly> mnoir: I found a thread saying that my chipset will be supported by NvAGP, but that I need to recompile the kernel
[02:10] <grumbly> That isnt something I know how to do

[02:15] <DiOXin> crimsun: Thinking of buying a new soundcard, but it worked a couple of days ago and the speakers are functioning!
[02:15] <zYe> i exited out the terminal window
[02:15] <zYe> -_-
[02:15] <kitche> asdfjkahsdfjkha: lookat package manager it's called libc6 in ubuntu
[02:15] <EnsignRedshirt> It worked fine in breezy.
[02:15] <grumbly> So, how do I recompile my kernel?
[02:15] <crimsun> DiOXin: cat /proc/asound/modules
[02:16] <adop> zYe: sudo vi /etc/fstab
[02:16] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> kitche, I am running server edition. no gui
[02:16] <zcat[1] > EnsignRedshirt: remove the printer and reinstall it... I had the same problem and that fixed it right away.
[02:16] <kitche> asdfjkahsdfjkha: so you still have a package manager look at aptitude
[02:16] <zYe> ok
[02:16] <zYe> this file isnt empty
[02:16] <EnsignRedshirt> zcat[1] : Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

[02:26] <zcat[1] > lotsa older cdrom drives have trouble with fast-burned disks.
[02:26] <Srixon> Well the CDRom on the other comp is a x45 speed cdrom
[02:26] <kitche> ozzloy: ~/.bashrc is one spot
[02:27] <mataks_> EnsignRedshirt: i think it's upgrading :) but what does that error means? makes my  heart beat stop seeing it :D
[02:27] <EnsignRedshirt> mataks_: I'm not expert, but it looks like it just took a few tries to get the list of dapper-updates packages.
[02:27] <ozzloy> kitche: yeah, but is there a more universal place?
[02:27] <kitche> ozzloy: /etc/profile if you want it system wide
[02:27] <EnsignRedshirt> s/not expert/no expert/
[02:27] <Srixon> Brb once more.
[02:27] <ozzloy> kitche: so that things like eclipse would see it?  or other shells

[02:27] <SoulBrother> Hello. I have linksys wmp54g wireless card. I have a green light on the back but I am unable to connect to my ap? ... I have not downloaded any drivers yet. Does anyone know what I should do?
[02:27] <zcat[1] > Srixon: the one you're booting. If it's not a writer, it will likely have trouble booting off a CD burned faster than 16x... doesn't matter how fast the drive normally reads.
[02:27] <adop> zYe: after a while you'll wondering the same thing for yourself...It is everyday linux
[02:28] <lynucs> anyone knows how to tell entrance where to look for .dektop files?
[02:28] <kitche> ozzloy: but if you use bash whihc you probably are ~/.bashrc would be the place to put it
[02:28] <zYe> O_o
[02:28] <EnsignRedshirt> Maybe an apt expert could take a quick look at mataks_ paste to check that?
[02:28] <ozzloy> kitche: zsh
[02:28] <mataks_> yeah
[02:28] <DiOXin> crimsun: done, the volumecontrol dissappeard.
[02:28] <zYe> adop i have another question for you :)
[02:28] <mataks_>  i have error upgrading to dapper... after i download all the files i receive this error while extracting ..    see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1493/  help anyone pls.
[02:29] <Srixon> I just looked at it again its a cdr/rw dvdr drive on the other one
[02:29] <crimsun> DiOXin: just readd it
[02:29] <adop> zYe: go on..
[02:29] <Srixon> OH! i know the problem
[02:29] <Srixon> The program i used... didnt burn the ISO as a CD image it burned it as a file on the cd... Bleh
[02:29] <zYe> i am running wine right now, and i installed a program to what seemed to resemble the windows file system
[02:29] <zcat[1] > ahhhh.. that sucks.
[02:29] <Srixon> Zooomg... im am teh noobsauce :P
[02:29] <zYe> i installed a .exe using wine
[02:30] <EnsignRedshirt> Srixon: been there, done that :)
[02:30] <riotkittie> mmm. noobsauce. sounds delish.
[02:30] <Srixon> Thanks Much zcat for your patience
[02:30] <kitche> ozzloy: hmm for zsh maybe .zprofile
[02:30] <MTecknology> I have openssh server and client installed - how can I save only the logs for it to a seperate location? - - The reson I need to do this is because I need to be using a virtual machine for a class and i get graded on the logs - i want them saved to a seperate location in case the system breaks.
[02:30] <adop> zYe: mmh
[02:30] <zcat[1] > XP needs a right-click option for burning ISO files, like ubuntu has!!
[02:30] <varsendaggr> akk    why won't my internet friggen work
[02:30] <kitche> ozzloy: or /etc/zshrc
[02:30] <DiOXin> crimsun: It also says; lsof: status error on /dev/dsp*: No such file or directory     lsof: status error on /dev/snd/*: No such file or directory

[02:31] <adub> i have this one process that has like 100 entries its killing my processor
[02:31] <N6REJ> how can I set the default session to be console instead of x?
[02:31] <adop> adub: man killall
[02:31] <EnsignRedshirt> adub: The killall command takes names
[02:31] <varsendaggr> how can i troubleshoot how to fix the network?
[02:31] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me I am not sure how it happened but when I hit CTRL + F instead of running the find command in the app I am working a terminal window opens
[02:31] <riotkittie> Srixon: destroyed on /your/ computer, perhaps :P
[02:32] <Moosejaw> crimsun: I was wrong, it aint working...
[02:32] <joshy> anyone here uses vmware workstation
[02:32] <adub> thanks adop ill look into it
[02:32] <kitche> Srixon: nah then distros will be paying microsoft for directx
[02:32] <Moosejaw> crimsun: but I set up the wpa_supplicant like on my other machine
[02:32] <Moosejaw> how do i see if the card sees the network?
[02:32] <DiOXin> crimsun: no my computer says "could'nt open" when I try to play music
[02:33] <bulmer> iwconfig
[02:33] <crimsun> Moosejaw: check if it's associated with the AP via iwconfig
[02:33] <adop> zYe: the wine uses filesystems in .wine/c:, .wine/d: etc, check there

[02:33] <Moosejaw>  crimsun yes its associated

[02:34] <Amadeo> What do I have to do in order to update from 6.10 to Feisty?
[02:35] <varsendaggr> kitche, why do i need it for the network?
[02:35] <kitche> varsendaggr: it's 127.0.0.1 is what I meant what I was thinking is for /dev/loop0
[02:35] <zYe> what is winefile?

[02:35] <varsendaggr> ohh
[02:35] <N6REJ> anyone got an idea?
[02:35] <Music_Shuffle> for?
[02:35] <Moosejaw> crimsun: getting a bit frustrated since I can see that eth1 sees the network...but its not functioning
[02:35] <zYe> ah ha i see now
[02:35] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: long and dark unix history...
[02:36] <varsendaggr> how in the heck can i get my network running again?
[02:36] <crimsun> DiOXin: you omitted the trailing 'x' in snd-via82xx
[02:36] <Amadeo> jrib: I'm just playing around and would like to update to it within my 6.10 install
[02:36] <wick2o> anyway to get ubuntu server install a smaller footprint? ive already remove everything i think i can safly remove
[02:36] <riotkittie> you dont want to update from edgy to feisty. install it on a new partition, but dont rely on it as your primary os :P
[02:36] <chable> anyone can tell me where do i find the Trash icon to put it on desktop ?
[02:36] <DiOXin> crimsun: ahaa...
[02:36] <adop> zYe: it is a file manager based on wine, something as the file manager for pre-95 windows
[02:36] <varsendaggr> i am getting no working leases in persistant database does that mean anything?
[02:36] <zYe> yes i see
[02:36] <crimsun> DiOXin: sudo modprobe snd-via82xx
[02:36] <wastrel> N6REJ:  sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[02:37] <zYe> where is the wine directory in linux though?
[02:37] <pyrohotdog> Anyone? Direct rendering?
[02:37] <varsendaggr> how can i reconfigure my dhcp3 leases?
[02:37] <zYe> i cant seem to find it
[02:37] <riotkittie> ahhh the filing cabinet! i miss that :x
[02:37] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: first off, you need an interface; does 'sudo ifonfig eth0 up' give any errors?
[02:37] <cyphase> Could I install Feisty next to my Edgy install, then run Edgy within an emulator?
[02:37] <jrib> Amadeo: #ubuntu+1, but you just change all the 'edgy' to 'feisty' in your sources.list and dist-upgrade
[02:37] <N6REJ> wastrel: tyvm!  my machine is a server and I only want the gui running when my wife is on it.
[02:37] <wick2o> zye: find / -name wine
[02:37] <kitche> wick2o: don't know but my ubuntu system is only used 1.6 gigs
[02:37] <Amadeo> riotkittie: It's not my primary OS :)
[02:37] <adop> zYe: $HOME/.wine
[02:37] <cyphase> Using Qemu and KVM
[02:37] <jrib> Amadeo: oh an make sure you have ubuntu-desktop installed
[02:37] <riotkittie> Amadeo: ahh, ok, cool.
[02:38] <Amadeo> I'm not positive if I want to do it or not, I'm thinking about it :)  Just messing around
[02:38] <zYe> ok
[02:38] <riotkittie> i keep thinking about throwing it on my not-yet-existant third linux partition
[02:38] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] , i am using  using eth1    and i am getting no errors with sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[02:38] <wastrel> N6REJ:  i think if you get an update to the gdm package, it may set itself back up to run by default.  just do the update-rc.d again and it'll be off by default again.
[02:38] <zcat[1] > N6REJ: leave the GUI running all the time. When nobody's logged in gdm is pretty small and even that gets swapped out too...
[02:38] <riotkittie> but i need to figure out how i want to arrange my disk before i hit that point
[02:38] <Amadeo> It's fun to play with stuff when you're bored
[02:39] <riotkittie> hda1 must diiiie.
[02:39] <N6REJ> oh really?
[02:39] <minerale> I think the ubuntu package for apt-build is broken, I tried and I keep getting "Some error occured building package" on two computers
[02:39] <adop> zYe: a dot in front makes it a hidden file. to see it from nautilus you have to set it to show you the hidden files (you might already know this, but anyway)
[02:39] <N6REJ> lol, then how do I put it back LOL
[02:39] <Srixon> So.. when is ubuntu getting Direct X? :)
[02:39] <zYe> ok
[02:39] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: cool. physical layer next; you have lighs on the card and/or hub when things are plugged in?
[02:39] <zYe> adop would you happen to know what this means? err:wgl:X11DRV_ChoosePixelFormat No libGL on this box - disabling OpenGL support !
[02:40] <wastrel> N6REJ:  sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[02:40] <minerale> srixon: direct x is a set of APIs built by microsoft for the microsoft platforms
[02:40] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: and do they blink when dhclient runs?
[02:40] <Srixon> yeah and about 99% of games run on it
[02:40] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] , i am getting RX packets    322 errors    0 dropped     TX packet 364 errors 20 dropped
[02:40] <N6REJ> hehehe.. ty.. .I thought it would use up alot of memory
[02:40] <Srixon> If Ubuntu could even Emulate it... thery would wipe windows
[02:40] <adop> zYe: where did you get that?
[02:40] <minerale> Could someone here try this: sudo apt-get install apt-build; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-build install memstat    --- it should compile and install the memstat package but it has major errors
[02:41] <kitche> Srixon: what do you think wine and cedega does
[02:41] <zYe> i have a game that i am trying to run with wine
[02:41] <jharr> Srixon: you're not looking at all aspects of why microsoft is where it is
[02:41] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me CTRL + F somehow got remaped on my system and I cant figure out where it is i have looked in gconf-editor and gnome keyboard shortcuts
[02:41] <Srixon> I cant play BF2142 with wine
[02:41] <zcat[1] > ubuntu doesn't need directX, it needs companies to write openGL games and build for linux.
[02:41] <wick2o> what id really love, is an embedded version of ubuntu
[02:41] <cokeslut> sup
[02:41] <zYe> and it uses opengl
[02:41] <Srixon> Nor can i play WoW
[02:41] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] , i will be back
[02:41] <cokeslut> you tell me
[02:41] <jharr> Srixon: a lot of it is active directory et. al.
[02:41] <wick2o> something with a "dsl" style foot print to build off of
[02:41] <Pir1> hello?
[02:41] <jharr> Srixon: corporations love AD for many reasons.
[02:41] <adub> how do i install spash screen and is the splash screen when linux is loading ???
[02:41] <wick2o> hi pir1
[02:41] <Amadeo> I'm debating if I just want to install those 8874 drivers off repo or get the 9746's manually
[02:42] <Srixon> Well im just saying if there was a way to get direct x ubuntu would eat windows so much that the PC tard could do it
[02:42] <adub> i want to change the screen that loads for ubuntu to look different

[02:42] <adop> zYe:oh, you have to download the files from wine, though I belive a person in the wine irc could help you better.

[02:45] <Pir1> I need help with, 6.10
[02:45] <jin> guys, how do I install azureus?
[02:45] <jin> cause the howto page says: There is a bug for Azureus in 6.10 (edgy). Do not install from the repositories.
[02:45] <aMoRPHeouS> oh man, these network drivers are giving me a headache. seems the only way to install them is to recompile the kernel :/

[02:54] <Faust-C> toulouse: means you need to get a live cd and run e2fsck -cc
[02:54] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: Hmmm.. what kind of network card in the desktop? you sure it's not faulty?
[02:54] <vanberge> Faust-C, im familiar with *sh.   it just says 'aborted (core dumped)'
[02:54] <Faust-C> caffiendo: ah i see
[02:55] <Korrupted> rawrk
[02:55] <Faust-C> caffiendo: man idk about that
[02:55] <caffiendo> That is why I'm looking for a really good tech forum to post the question

[02:57] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:57] <Faust-C> caffiendo: google is your friend
[02:57] <Moosejaw> Faust-C how can i check if the driver is loaded?
[02:57] <DiOXin> crimsun: does not work still...:( I tried to go to the alsamixer again but nothing :/
[02:57] <Faust-C> Moosejaw: modprobe
[02:57] <Faust-C> xtknight: and that means
[02:57] <wick2o> the user entered commands would be in .bash* in the home dir i think
[02:57] <Moosejaw> modprobe what?
[02:57] <caffiendo> I've done that but a lot of forums aren't easily found..
[02:57] <Faust-C> if you dont know how to set it up its worthless
[02:57] <wick2o> .bash_history
[02:57] <Faust-C> Moosejaw: the driver
[02:57] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: well, if you manually bring up both (ifconfig ethx up) and then run dhclient, you should get a lease on one or the other.... if you don't, I'd suspect hardware, not config.
[02:58] <Moosejaw> well i dont know what the driver is
[02:58] <Faust-C> Moosejaw: well google for it
[02:58] <Moosejaw> should i have just installed ndiswrapper?
[02:58] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] , i ahve a connection that overwrites my resolv.conf   three or for times a day    and i was trying to mess with things to get that to work all the time.    and i broke somehting along the way.....
[02:58] <Faust-C> then do modprobe <driver>
[02:58] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here suggest the best app to run WoW?
[02:58] <varsendaggr> zcat[1] ,  do that for each one?
[02:58] <Moosejaw> this card seems to have a llinux version of the driver

[02:59] <cappiz> some norwegian users here ?
[02:59] <Faust-C> mvfeinstein: thx i really try
[02:59] <TuuBB> Was wondering if anyone could help. I'm trying to install Kubuntu for dual-booting with XP. I've got XP installed on the first primary partition (ntfs, 30gb), I then allocated for a 130ish gb FAT32 partition (that I'd like to be accessible from both OSs). I tried to install Kubuntu on the remainding unpartitioned space - all seemed fine during install process - but it gave me an error (17 iirc) when trying to select ubuntu from grub
[02:59] <LjL> !no | cappiz
[02:59] <ubotu> cappiz: Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk!
[02:59] <varsendaggr> i will be back zcat[1] 
[02:59] <toulouse> !e2fsck
[02:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about e2fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:59] <LjL> !fsck
[02:59] <bulmer> iwconfig (for wireless) is similar to ifconfig
[02:59] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[02:59] <TuuBB>  I'm sure there's a simpler way to implement what it is that I'm wanting to do: XP, Kubuntu, media/data - any pointers?
[02:59] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: yeah, ifconfig both of them up, you should get no errors. If you've been swapping cards around you might find they're eth1 and eth2, and eth0 is for an earlier card..
[02:59] <Faust-C> toulouse: img lol
[02:59] <Faust-C> man this is so gay

[03:01] <bruenig> newbie, what exactly are you trying to do, there is a command called rename that allows you to do that, but it is not really easy to understand if you are truly a newbie
[03:01] <wick2o> kitche: umm really? thought it would take alot longer then that
[03:01] <aMoRPHeouS> can I find the kernel source on the install CD?
[03:02] <xtknight> what's the difference between "full virtualization" and "paravirtualization"?

[03:03] <newbie> they're called various things like S5000121.JPG

[03:03] <newbie> etc
[03:03] <fiendskull9> bruenig, he could run them through a loop

[03:10] <vanberge> newbie, i had good success with that
[03:10] <adop> zYe: nvidia?
[03:10] <zYe> NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] 
[03:10] <newbie> jrib--yes that is correct
[03:10] <riotkittie> and about everything else
[03:10] <zYe> yes nvidia
[03:10] <riotkittie> but man, i can list the contents of a directory like nobodys business
[03:12] <deafboy> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[03:12] <deafboy> ;9
[03:12] <deafboy> * :(
[03:12] <peace-keeper> hiii why does my ubuntu totally crash when i want to switch to a terminal with ctrl+alt+f& ??
[03:12] <xtknight> !uuid
[03:12] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:12] <peace-keeper> ctrl+alt+f1 i mean
[03:12] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: crash? whats it do?
[03:12] <newbie> jrib, did you have a suggestion?
[03:12] <xtknight> i reformatted sda2 as xfs.  is there a way to get the kernel to refresh its partition table memory?  my UUID has not updated yet.
[03:12] <jrib> newbie: do they all have the same extension?
[03:13] <peace-keeper> mouse cursor disappers, desktop is still visible, absolutely no reaction to anything
[03:13] <newbie> yes they do .JPG in caps
[03:13] <balaco> in my xorg.conf resolutions are listed that it wont let me choose from in the screen resolution window. does anyone know how to fix this.
[03:13] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: try booting with no splash. It confuses some video cards and they can't initialise the console properly afterwards.
[03:13] <yaaar> does anybody know of a gnome taskbar applet similar to klipper for kde? it's the last thing from kde that I miss when using gnome. i've used klipper itself in gnome, but find that loading up all that qt stuff really causes a noticable performance hit
[03:13] <jrib> newbie: i=0; for file in *; do mv $file misc$i.jpg; i=$(($i+1)); done
[03:13] <kitche> xtknight: UUID is the same for the device doesnt matter what filesystem you put on it
[03:13] <bruenig> yaaar, glipper
[03:13] <jrib> newbie: you probably want to test that out in a test directory first
[03:13] <yaaar> bruenig: no kidding!
[03:13] <riotkittie> glipper. heh. thats fun to say :D
[03:14] <yaaar> thanks
[03:14] <peace-keeper> i'm running it on a laptop inside vmware
[03:14] <adop> zYe:Try this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[03:14] <xtknight> kitche: it seem as though i reformatted sda2 as xfs and my uuid is no longer valid.  (i did nothing other than reformat, no resize etc).  also 'blkid' lists it as ext2 still
[03:14] <newbie> yeah, thats what I'll do. Thanks jrib
[03:14] <newbie> be right back...
[03:14] <peace-keeper> why are there sooooo many problems with video cards, thats about the 3rd or 4th i encounter :(
[03:15] <bruenig> video cards and wireless, that is 90% of the channel
[03:15] <aMoRPHeouS> which kernel version does edgy use?
[03:15] <xtknight> aMoRPHeouS: 2.6.17-10
[03:15] <aMoRPHeouS> thanks
[03:15] <zcat[1] > when handling files, I suggest liberal use of "'s and --'s -- nothing worse than having your script try to automatically remove a file named "-rf"
[03:15] <balaco> In my xorg.conf resolutions are listed that it wont let me choose from in the screen resolution window. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[03:16] <yaaar> bruenig: have you used glipper? the sourceforge page makes a lot of noise about "in development, not stable" kind of stuff
[03:16] <bruenig> and when using wildcard character, don't leave any spaces, nothing worse than *.jpg turning into * .jpg and removing everything
[03:16] <N6REJ> I have 2 small harddrives that I would like to join together as a lvm array and then use them as samba shares.  How Can I do that?  I already have samba working well
[03:16] <bruenig> yaaar, worked flawlessly for me, it is in the repos
[03:16] <bruenig> !info glipper
[03:16] <ubotu> Package glipper does not exist in any distro I know
[03:16] <bruenig> hmmm
[03:16] <yaaar> bruenig: cool
[03:17] <jerp> balaco, I have the same problem
[03:17] <peace-keeper> how can i set ubuntu not to start in graphical mode, but terminal mode instead?
[03:17] <bruenig> yaaar, here is a deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glipper/glipper_0.95.1-1~edgy1_i386.deb
[03:17] <Largo> hey
[03:17] <zcat[1] > bruenig: usenet is fun for this; so many files that start with !! or --, just trying a plain "rm *" when you're done with them can be a problem...
[03:17] <Largo> This is pir1
[03:17] <null__> helo all
[03:17] <balaco> jerp, do you know how to fix it
[03:18] <jerp> balaco, nope .........  'I have' the same problem
[03:18] <yaaar> bruenig: great. will try! thanks
[03:18] <grog_7> I've backed up my hard drive with using dd (whole device, not just the partitions)--is there a way to mount it as a loopback?
[03:18] <null__> peace-keeper,  modify the inittab file in /etc by changing 2 to a different value eg:5
[03:18] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: single
[03:18] <Largo> Do i need to install any special drivers for linksys
[03:18] <kitche> peace-keeper: turn gdm off on boot
[03:18] <bruenig> !wifi
[03:18] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:18] <balaco> jerp, has anyone even commented to you on how to fix it
[03:18] <N6REJ> peace-keeper: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[03:18] <peace-keeper> aww thats complicated
[03:18] <Flannel> peace-keeper: do you want to do it for a single time? (to fix some settings?) or because you don't want GDM booting each time?
[03:19] <Largo> !mp3

[03:19] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: 'e' in grub to edit the kernel line, change 'quite splash' to 'single', press enter, then 'b' to boot
[03:19] <null__> ok any one know how to do the keyboard mapping ?
[03:19] <riotkittie> jerp, balaco ... have you tried editting xorg? running dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf ?   you may need to add a mode line to the file. check teh forums.
[03:19] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: or just pick the rescue option
[03:19] <riotkittie> dmm
[03:19] <riotkittie> err hmm.
[03:19] <peace-keeper> all i want is the text mode
[03:19] <w3lcome2thedawn> AHHHH what happened? My ubuntu system will not load! it loads the top panel and the border of the bottom panel and then hangs, sometimes the desktop icons show up and sometimes not? what did I do wrong?
[03:19] <riotkittie> !resolution
[03:19] <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
[03:19] <kitche> zcat[1] : that is for single mode not for text mode
[03:20] <riotkittie> balaco: jerp : follow the link ubotu just dropped
[03:20] <peace-keeper> when i do su and try to change runlevel with init, nothing happens
[03:20] <null__> cos on the laptop the function+increase brightness and decrease brightness are doing something strange, it kills the xserver
[03:20] <kitche> peace-keeper: well debian/ubuntu uses runlevel 2 for everything
[03:20] <jerp> balaco, I've been waiting to see if anyone else would comment. I'm copacetic right now with my 1440x900, but would like to know I could change it to what is listed in System/Preferences/Screen Resolution
[03:20] <zcat[1] > hmmm... ignore that, sorry... just change /etc/rc2.d/S??gdm to /etc/rc2.d/K??gdm
[03:20] <newbie> jrib you still here
[03:20] <Flannel> peace-keeper: do you want to do it for a single time? (to fix some settings?) or because you don't want GDM booting each time?
[03:20] <jerp> thanks riotkittie
[03:20] <w3lcome2thedawn> I tried loading it in failsafe more but it has the same issues
[03:20] <jrib> newbie: yes
[03:20] <N6REJ> Flannel: Can I beg your help one more time when your done?
[03:20] <facugaich> which driver do you recommend for ATI? fglrx or the open source one?
[03:20] <peace-keeper> i just want to try it if it works, because switching with ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt work
[03:21] <Flannel> N6REJ: er, go ahead and ask, someone else might always be able to help
[03:21] <null__> fglrx is not bad
[03:21] <w3lcome2thedawn> can I beg anyone for some help?
[03:21] <newbie> jrib I did what you said but it just renamed the folder with all of the jpg files in it to misc0
[03:21] <peace-keeper> i admire you guys for not getting frustrated using ubuntu all the time :D
[03:21] <jrib> newbie: did you do it inside the folder?
[03:21] <null__> peace-keeper, lol
[03:21] <null__> peace-keeper, it drives me nuts most of the time
[03:22] <newbie> tried but it said cannot move to a subdirectory of itself
[03:22] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: you have no idea how frustrated I get when I have to use windows ..
[03:22] <N6REJ> flannel when I initially built the server, for whatever reason, 2 of my small hardrives didn't get utilized.  So, I want to join them and use them as a single samba share.  I've got samba working fine.
[03:22] <Flannel> peace-keeper: edit your grub, and turn off splash and quiet, do you see the ttys being initialized?  if so, they are working.  And you have some other issue preventing you from switching to tty1
[03:22] <null__> zcat[1] , frustraTION for windows is like reinstall for me, cos i had reinstalled windows like 3 times
[03:22] <peace-keeper> i imagine how an average computer user would look if you told him something like that :D
[03:22] <null__> and the damn thing gives bsod on a new system
[03:22] <Flannel> N6REJ: er, harddrives in linux?  You'll partition and mount them somewhere
[03:22] <peace-keeper> tty grub splash gdm blablabla
[03:23] <Music_Shuffle> !anyone | w3lcome2thedawn
[03:23] <ubotu> w3lcome2thedawn: 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?
[03:23] <jrib> newbie: pastebin what "ls" says
[03:23] <jrib> newbie: make that "ls -l"
[03:23] <N6REJ> Flannel: no need to partition other then to tell them they are lvm drives because they are tiny, only 3g each.
[03:23] <N6REJ> Flannel: but I don't know how to tell it to use them from gnome or shell, only KDE LOL
[03:23] <Flannel> N6REJ: oh, you've got LVM running?  nice.  There's lots of howtos on the interblags for that.  Let me find you one I used.
[03:23] <w3lcome2thedawn> I removed an item from gnome-panel, then rebooted my comp. now it loads the top panel and the gray border of the bottom panel and then hangs
[03:24] <N6REJ> k
[03:24] <zcat[1] > nothing works in windows. You have to install drivers for every bit of hardware, codecs to play almost any media (even totally free stuff like ogg) .. download OOo and/or gimp  before you can do anything more than basic text editing
[03:24] <w3lcome2thedawn> sometimes the desktop icons load and sometimes they don't
[03:24] <riotkittie> ugh. i should go try to build screen again.
[03:24] <^^NEGO^^> Someone can tell me where I should search for help with a issue regarding Ubuntu Edgy, ATI Xpress 200M and Enemy Territory?
[03:24] <riotkittie> screen <3
[03:24] <null__> w3lcome2thedawn, delete the .gnome* in home dir and try again
[03:24] <pollywog> NEGO is this about sound in ET?
[03:24] <peace-keeper> on my pc under windows everthing works, while in ubuntu i have problems all the time and cant play many video formats
[03:25] <peace-keeper> it's different with everyone
[03:25] <peace-keeper> sometimes windows is shit and sometimes linux is shit
[03:25] <DigitalNinja> Does the IM software on MySpace work with Linux?
[03:25] <pollywog> peace-keeper: yeah
[03:25] <w3lcome2thedawn> forgive the complete neophyte question. so i log into to a console cd to home and "rm .gnome*"?
[03:26] <jerp> riotkittie, yeah, I've seen that page and I don't care to reconfigure xserver-xorg again and it says to install '855resolution' which is said to be for intel chips,  I'm nvidia on an amd sys :\
[03:26] <pollywog> but with Linux it's all yours  :)
[03:26] <Flannel> N6REJ: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm2.html
[03:26] <null__> w3lcome2thedawn, try rm -fr ~/.gnome* ~/.gtk*
[03:26] <jerp> I've got my beryl working just fine
[03:26] <N6REJ> great I'll look at that.. ty.
[03:26] <^^NEGO^^> pollywog: no, I have installed the new drivers from ATI, Acceleration is enabled but when I start it, the screen goes white, then appears the initial screen (like you were going to configure the setting of the game) but everything is screwed up, then it locks up! :(
[03:26] <peace-keeper> hey you were right about the splash screen; when i disable it i can switch to the ttys
[03:26] <zYe> adop i didnt really get anything outta that
[03:26] <zYe> most of those changes had already been made
[03:26] <zYe> :(
[03:26] <newbie> jrib Everything worked!!! Thanks a million
[03:26] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: of course I'm right. I'm always right.
[03:27] <jrib> newbie: k, np
[03:27] <newbie> you saved me a butt load of time
[03:27] <pollywog> NEGO: oic I only used Nvidia cards, I have no experience with ATI's
[03:27] <riotkittie> jerp: ah. im actually having the same issue but just havent cared to try to fix it.
[03:27] <newbie> laters...
[03:27] <peace-keeper> so there are no runlevels? ubuntu is in runlevel 2 all the time ?
[03:27] <jrib> newbie: well bash did, I just told you the magic words.  The bash scripting guides on tldp.org are good to read if you are interested
[03:27] <jerp> a section says:   "GDM looks right, but Gnome looks wrong"  ...... what's this to mean?
[03:27] <ryanpg> is there a way to see what packages on my system were updated via apt-get recently?
[03:27] <w3lcome2thedawn> null_ I'll try it thanks
[03:28] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: there are runlevels; I'm just not sure the default config...
[03:28] <^^NEGO^^> I have always sticked with Nvidia hardware... this laptop is my 1st experience with ATI... and this problem seems to be so weird... I have not seen many stuff about it in the web :(
[03:28] <peace-keeper> when i did init 3 or 5, nothing happened
[03:28] <zcat[1] > I only ever use rl2
[03:29] <zcat[1] > I think they're all the same... go ahead and make 3 a nongui runlevel if you want...
[03:29] <adop> zYe: sorry i dont know to setup nvidia cards
[03:29] <peace-keeper> well looks like some things are already working in linux.. maybe in 10 years or so average people can actually use it :)
[03:29] <pollywog> jerp: sounds like something Mango Parfait would say
[03:29] <riotkittie> eh. average people have been using linux for years
[03:30] <null__> ^^NEGO^^, this is my first laptop with nvidia its so strange, comming from intel built in gfx
[03:30] <pollywog> peace-keeper: I am not a geek and I have used Linux for almost 10 yrs
[03:30] <adop> zYe: im sure if you stay for a while someone with nvidia will help you though
[03:30] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: my kids have been using (RH6/fbsd/debian/ubuntu) on the desktop for about 6 years already.
[03:31] <zYe> i wish i would have started with linux
[03:31] <zYe> windows was a waste of my time
[03:31] <riotkittie> i remember wanting to try linux back in ~98 and my boyfriend at the time being all 'omgohnoooes' and talking me out of it :|
[03:31] <zcat[1] > .. and until recently macs at school too...
[03:31] <bruenig> it is just different, it is faster once you figure out what you are doing. but going from one school of thought to another will always be hard
[03:31] <zYe> macs............................
[03:31] <pollywog> I would have started earlier than I did but in those days Linux was particular about its friends
[03:31] <riotkittie> and i listened to him because surely, being a linux user at the time, he knew :P
[03:32] <pollywog> oops I mean about the hardware on which it would run
[03:32] <peace-keeper> in my opinion windows is 100 times better as a desktop OS, but i know im pretty much alone with that opinion in here
[03:32] <riotkittie> still regret that.   then i finally installed slackware in 2004.
[03:32] <zcat[1] > peace-keeper: depends what you want to do..
[03:32] <pollywog> omgohnoooes?  what is that
[03:32] <zYe> oh my god oh no
[03:32] <zYe> lol
[03:32] <pollywog> oic
[03:33] <peace-keeper> i love linux for server things, but i never got comfortable with it as desktop
[03:33] <Flannel> peace-keeper: until you start dealing with sorting tons of pictures, then symlinks are a saint.
[03:33] <Nighthawke> 6.10 AMD64 core, having problems with radeon 9600XT with current fglrx drivers
[03:33] <pollywog> peace-keeper: I thought Linspire was very newbie friendly
[03:33] <Nighthawke> should i reinstall or roll back to the ATI Xorg drivers?
[03:33] <CorpseFeeder> I got a new problem now... if I type winecfg in terminal, the gnome desktop exits and restarts back at login screen. Why?
[03:33] <^^NEGO^^> Nighthawke, what sort of problema?
[03:33] <wastrel> hello
[03:33] <pollywog> give that to your granny and she will never know the diff
[03:33] <Nighthawke> 3d locks the system.. leaving the mouse to move but all other functions are locked
[03:34] <zcat[1] > set up ubuntu properly, slap a nice theme on it, and most users (web/email/basic office) won't know the difference
[03:34] <pollywog> but if you have used Linux for a long time, the limitations start to show
[03:34] <superDudeMan> the
[03:34] <null__> Nighthawke, most commonly its X using 100%cpu in that case
[03:34] <wastrel> "limitations"
[03:34] <pollywog> zcat: I have only been using it for 2 days.  Once I get the wifi thing figured out...
[03:34] <riotkittie> then my husband, who i met after deciding slackware was my new boyfriend was all like "linux! omg ohnoooes"
[03:34] <peace-keeper> with linux i have to come to this channel every few days because something doesnt work
[03:35] <yaaar> bruenig: glipper works great so far. thanks again!
[03:35] <peace-keeper> and spend 1 or 2 trying to fix it
[03:35] <riotkittie> and my box went into the closet, so he could put his 98FE box here
[03:35] <peace-keeper> hours
[03:35] <zcat[1] > most of the 'limitations' are carefully engineered in Redmond.. document and web page incompatabilities, etc...
[03:35] <Nighthawke> i agree, but i cannot disable my screensaver for it locks when the preview comes up.. so i got two choices
[03:35] <Moosejaw> crimsun u still around
[03:35] <Nighthawke> find a way to disable the screensaver or redo the display drivers
[03:35] <^^NEGO^^> it happens when u open a 3d application right?
[03:36] <Nighthawke> it happens on screensaver, have yet to open a 3d app outside of that, but my impression is that it will lock
[03:36] <riyonuk> Is there a way to see what the Murrine config looks like before you apply it?
[03:36] <riotkittie> i <3 windows. if windows update hadnt totally hosed my legit XP install, i might have continued putting off repartitioning and installing a distro
[03:36] <^^NEGO^^> I think you the same problem I have
[03:36] <riotkittie> bwahahah.
[03:36] <Nighthawke> ^^NEGO^^:  what are you running?
[03:36] <pollywog> I have made progress with the wireless problem.  My laptop now lights up that it is trying to connect
[03:36] <riyonuk> :o windows
[03:36] <jues_> hi all
[03:37] <pollywog> instead of just sitting there
[03:37] <^^NEGO^^> when I try to start enemy territory here, the screen goes white, then appears the initial screen of the game but I can't read anything and then it locks up
[03:37] <riyonuk> riotkittie, why?
[03:37] <^^NEGO^^> I have to reboot
[03:37] <riotkittie> riyonuk: why what?
[03:37] <^^NEGO^^> I'm using a HP DV8000 series laptop
[03:37] <^^NEGO^^> Turion 64
[03:37] <pollywog> NEGO I remember I had that problem but with Nvidia
[03:37] <Nighthawke> you have my sympathies
[03:37] <^^NEGO^^> with ATI Xpress 200M
[03:37] <Nighthawke> mine's a homebrew
[03:38] <^^NEGO^^> pollywog what have u done?
[03:38] <Nighthawke> badass tower running 3400 AMD64 with a Raptor 65 gig loading
[03:38] <Nighthawke> 75
[03:38] <riyonuk> riotkiitie, why do you like windows?
[03:38] <pollywog> it was several years ago and I got it fixed but don't remember how
[03:38] <Nighthawke> i can roll the works back to xorg, aint that hard
[03:38] <pollywog> then I fixed the oss-emu problem
[03:38] <Nighthawke> then ramrod fglrx back in, not a problem, but i thought there was another solution
[03:38] <riotkittie> riyonuk: that comment was very tongue in cheek :P
[03:39] <pollywog> I think if you Google you will find it
[03:39] <^^NEGO^^> I don't have a clue of what is going on... need to know first to see what can I do about it
[03:39] <pollywog> Gooogle Linux for 'ati enemy territory'
[03:39] <Nighthawke> ^^NEGO^^:  sounds like a openGL issue to me, had games that did that to me in win
[03:40] <riotkittie> not that i dislike all of their OSes - 2k was nice, xp is... eh. but i dislike a long list of things about their practices and such
[03:40] <Nighthawke> wrong screen resolution, i turned the display resolution and restarted the game
[03:40] <pollywog> I use XP for games and I think XP is better than its predecessors
[03:40] <pollywog> crashes less
[03:40] <riotkittie> but i am much happier using linux. even if i am still basically clueless ;p
[03:40] <jues_> Win2k > WinXP
[03:40] <Nighthawke> XP is fine for some things, but win2k has been the rock of gibraltar
[03:41] <pollywog> I am clueless and have been using Linux for years
[03:41] <pollywog> I am new to Ubuntu
[03:41] <kitche> !offtopic
[03:41] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:41] <pollywog> okay okay
[03:41] <Nighthawke> we got yer point kitche
[03:41] <Nighthawke> :p
[03:41] <kitche> did it before an op did it :P
[03:41] <Nighthawke> ^^NEGO^^:  so, roll the drivers back to xorg then reinstall?
[03:42] <pollywog> kitche is a bot?
[03:42] <funkmunky> how do i save my settings for ndiswrapper.  Everytime i restart i have to reconfigure my essid and password again
[03:42] <Nighthawke> kitche:  is being a pain :p
[03:42] <pollywog> ahh
[03:42] <CorpseFeeder> wine kills my gdm it's pants.
[03:42] <kitche> funkmunky: essid and password have nothing to do with ndiswrapper
[03:43] <funkmunky> well, where would they save to?
[03:43] <pollywog> ndiswrapper is only for WPA right?
[03:43] <xtknight> anyone mind walking me through how to install ubuntu with debootstrap?  im trying to install a fresh ubuntu to another partition while im in ubuntu.  i need it for Xen
[03:43] <funkmunky> no it does wep just fine
[03:43] <pollywog> oic
[03:43] <Nighthawke> or NIC's that use NDIS driven chips
[03:43] <^^NEGO^^> I guess I'll try that Nighthawke
[03:43] <Nighthawke> ^^NEGO^^:  well not for you, but for me
[03:43] <xtknight> i tried Xen with my current root and it seems it's too clogged up.  i got knocked back to a Busybox
[03:44] <Nighthawke> erf, nvm :p
[03:44] <funkmunky> i just need to find where my info get stored so it boots up, otherwise my system will hang on boot finding networking configuration.
[03:44] <kitche> funkmunky: you can use gnome-network-manager to save it
[03:44] <pollywog> I got my laptop to do wifi after compiling my own kdenetwork packages but I am still having problems with authentication and this is just WEP
[03:45] <funkmunky> oh wow well all i did was follow ubuntuguide to setup ndiswrapper
[03:46] <wastrel> !ubuntuguide
[03:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuguide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:46] <eetfunk> what's the command to see what version of the kernel is installed?  i need to know if its i386 or amd64
[03:46] <wastrel> bah
[03:46] <wastrel> uname -r
[03:46] <wastrel> well that's what kernel is running
[03:46] <pollywog> funkmunky: you have rt2500?
[03:46] <wastrel> you may have more than one installed
[03:46] <jerp> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[03:46] <xtknight> eetfunk: uname -a
[03:46] <funkmunky> nope i have a cheap airnet card
[03:46] <Starbuck88> need help to install lamp on desktop ubuntu!!!! pls
[03:46] <peterhd> Need advice: upgraded from Dapper to Edgy, old fstab isn't happy.  Mounting hdb1=windows vfat, hdb2=ext3, hdb3=xfs.
[03:47] <superDude> hello
[03:47] <zcat[1] > Starbuck88: add seveas repos (!seveas) then apt-get install ubuntu-lamp
[03:47] <drbair> peterhd: post fstab to postbin?
[03:47] <Flannel> !lamp | Starbuck88, or do it he old fashioned way
[03:47] <ubotu> Starbuck88, or do it he old fashioned way: 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+)
[03:47] <pollywog> so is fakeroot useless in Ubuntu?  if so I should get rid of it
[03:48] <zcat[1] > seveas makes it too easy tho....
[03:48] <peterhd> drbair:  please explain postbin, thanks
[03:48] <eetfunk> xtknight: x86_64 is amd64 i guess?  I don't get it, I debootstrapped this box with i386 dapper.  Any idea why it installs x86_64?  I am on a amd64 VPS, but I made sure to ask for i386
[03:48] <Starbuck88> okay
[03:48] <drbair> peterhd: err.. pastebin. temporary place to post text for others to look at
[03:48] <xtknight> eetfunk: no idea.  im trying to learn debootstrap myself right now
[03:48] <xtknight> eetfunk: x86_64 is amd64 yes
[03:48] <CorpseFeeder> what's the wine support channel? I got wine problem.
[03:48] <zcat[1] > Pelo: what are you trying to do?
[03:49] <xtknight> eetfunk: what is VPS?
[03:49] <drbair> peterhd: post your fstab on http://pastebin.com/ and send a link in chat
[03:49] <peterhd> drbair: will do.
[03:49] <eetfunk> is there a difference betwen the "Server" and the "desktop" install?  i mean, in the kernel or something
[03:49] <Flannel> CorpseFeeder: #winehq
[03:49] <eetfunk> xtknight: virtual private server
[03:49] <CorpseFeeder> thanks
[03:49] <Flannel> eetfunk: the server one doesn't include PREEMPT
[03:49] <xtknight> what does preempt do?
[03:49] <Pelo> zcat[1] ,   I made a little bash script ( 2 lines) to back up a few accounting files on a usb key drive ,  I was wondering if I could make it so that it automaticaly executes when I plug the drive in
[03:50] <pollywog> is there a way to get notification emails in the Ubuntu forums?
[03:50] <zcat[1] > kernel preemption, amkes desktop apps more responsive
[03:50] <Madpilot> pollywog, yes, there's a 'subscribe to this thread/forum' fuction
[03:50] <eetfunk> Flannel: thanks.  is there a way to transform a desktop install into a server one?
[03:50] <pollywog> Madpilot: tnx
[03:50] <xamox> I am out of disk space and I want to find out which i'm using. I know I can do "df -h / " to show it in human readable, but is there a way I can sort it and possible clip it to the 50 biggest files on that drive?
[03:50] <Pelo> pollywog,  if you are a registered member you should get an email when someone responds to your post, that's how most work
[03:51] <zcat[1] > Pelo: Yeah, there's a way... :)
[03:51] <pollywog> Pelo: I have not gotten them so I will check my settings
[03:51] <peterhd> drbair:  waiting for pastebin.com to accept posting . . .
[03:51] <Flannel> eetfunk: sure, download a non -server kernel (which depends on what ubuntu version you're running)
[03:51] <jin> omg, I love ffox adbloc k plus so much!
[03:51] <drbair> xamox: possibly something with head, du and sort I'd imagine
[03:51] <bruenig> !offtopic
[03:51] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:51] <kitche> Pelo: you have to watch for a kernel event to do it
[03:52] <wastrel> pelo means hair
[03:52] <Flannel> eetfunk: and then, you'll want to remove linux-server and linux-image-server (because otherwise you'll download new kernels for each)
[03:52] <kitche> peterd: don't use pastebin.com it's slow and always will be
[03:52] <Pelo> wastrel,  congradulation , you pass spanish for noobs, no get back on topic
[03:52] <kitche> peterhd: use pastebin.ca it should be faster or even paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:52] <eetfunk> Flannel: i want to convert desktop to server, not the other way around.  Is there significant performance gain for a server to have a server kernel?
[03:53] <zcat[1] > There's something you can do in /etc/ that recognises a drive by volume ID  and does whatever you want when it's mounted.... beyond my abilities though.
[03:53] <peterhd> drbair, kitche:  switching to pastebin.ca
[03:53] <drbair> peterhd: could do those too... I can just never remember the names of the others
[03:53] <zcat[1] > I'd have to google it.
[03:53] <Pelo> kitche,  something along the lines of  : on notice  "mount /media/RCA/" then ./backup  ?
[03:53] <Flannel> eetfunk: depends on what you run.  I run my server with a standard kernel
[03:53] <pollywog> anyone else having a problem with gdm denying logins due to some missing Hyman.xml?
[03:53] <xtknight> any idea how do install an iso while im in ubuntu?  i want to install ubuntu server edition to a root of /dev/sda2 and want to have it fully bootable upon reboot (i know how to add grub entries, etc)
[03:53] <pollywog> human.xml
[03:53] <CorpseFeeder> everyone seems to be asleep still in #winehq ;(
[03:53] <kitche> Pelo: I haven't made a script that waits for a kernel event but I know it can be done
[03:54] <Pelo> CorpseFeeder,  what do you need to do with wine  ? maybe I can help
[03:54] <eetfunk> Flannel: thanks for your insightful answers.
[03:54] <peterhd> drbair:  fstab now posted on pastebin.ca
[03:54] <CorpseFeeder> someone has come alive in winehq now :)
[03:54] <kitche> peterhd: you need to give him the url for it
[03:54] <drbair> peterhd: need a link to the post
[03:54] <eckounltd> how do i add a file to a directory
[03:54] <jrib> eckounltd: you want to create a new blank file?
[03:54] <kitche> eckounltd: umm what do you mean by add
[03:54] <pollywog> I think the missing file is from the Human Theme
[03:54] <eetfunk> does anyone know why debootstrap downloads the amd64 packages even when i specify to get i386?  (i do my debootstrap on an amd64 VPS)
[03:54] <eckounltd> creat a new blank file
[03:55] <xtknight> eetfunk: did you chroot?
[03:55] <kitche> eckounltd: touch file
[03:55] <Pelo> eckounltd,  for dir other then /home/user you need to do it as root,  try starting nautilus from the terminal with sudo nautilus
[03:55] <xtknight> eckounltd: Create Document->Blank
[03:55] <xtknight> eckounltd: under right click
[03:55] <peterhd> drbair, kitche: like this:  http://pastebin.ca/315975
[03:55] <eetfunk> xtknight: of course ;)  everything goes fine, but when i boot into my new box, it's amd64 when it should be i386
[03:55] <Flannel> Pelo, eckounltk, gksudo nautilus, not sudo.
[03:56] <Pelo> Flannel,  sudo will work as well,   and it is gksu
[03:56] <CorpseFeeder> where do I find my X crash log?
[03:56] <xtknight> eetfunk: ahh that's odd.  did you follow some howto?  im trying to figure out where to get where you are at the moment (using debootstrap etc)
[03:56] <Flannel> Pelo: no, sudo will cause problems.
[03:56] <kitche> CorpseFeeder: /var/log
[03:56] <xtknight> eetfunk: youve just got a separate ubuntu in a different directory, right?
[03:56] <drbair> peterhd: so are none of them mounting?
[03:56] <eetfunk> xtknight: http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=install_debian_on_your_slice  i changed a few things...
[03:56] <pollywog> does kde use dbus now instead of dcop?
[03:57] <pollywog> kde 3.5.5
[03:57] <wastrel> what's dcop?
[03:57] <arrenlex> pollywog: KDE 4 will.
[03:57] <pollywog> hmm
[03:57] <pollywog> tnx arrenlex
[03:57] <kitche> pollywog: kde 3.5.5 can use dbus also if compiled with support for it
[03:57] <pollywog> kitche: k that explains it
[03:58] <pollywog> tnx
[03:58] <bruenig> kde 4 is going to revolutionize the desktop.....riiight
[03:58] <xtknight> when's gnome 3 coming out?
[03:58] <Pelo> bruenig,  suuuurrrrreeee
[03:58] <peterhd> drbair:  first two do, windows and bkup.  by the xfs, storage, i get a mount error:  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
[03:58] <theacolyte> So why is it that the Marvell Yukon STILL doesn't work with 6.10 =/
[03:59] <wastrel> what's marvell yukon?
[03:59] <xtknight> an ethernet controller
[03:59] <Pelo> try compiling from source
[03:59] <pollywog> oh I thought it was one of those new trucks
[03:59] <peterhd> drbair:  note that I can create a file on the drive, it is the mount error that bugs me
[03:59] <theacolyte> Well I could do that, but that's pretty bad.
[03:59] <eckounltd> error accessing 'file:///etc/bad_list': File not found
[03:59] <superDude> 
[03:59] <xtknight> lol
[04:00] <drbair> peterhd: does /mnt/storage show up with the df command?
[04:00] <bruenig> eckounltd, what are you doing?
[04:00] <peterhd> drbair: nope.
[04:00] <eckounltd> thats what it aid when i tried to create is using create archive
[04:00] <kitche> eckounltd: umm create archive? you want new document
[04:00] <bruenig> eckounltd, tried to create what
[04:00] <drbair> peterhd: then its not mounted... you're just making files in the mountpoint directory
[04:01] <drbair> not the actual drive
[04:01] <adub> whats good burning software for linux
[04:01] <peterhd> drbair:  figures...
[04:01] <adub> i have used nero linux trial version but im open to options
[04:01] <bruenig> adub, k3b, and I suppose gnomebaker but I hate gnomebaker
[04:01] <bruenig> nero linux is awful
[04:01] <kitche> adub: k3b(kde) gnomebaker(gnome) xcdroast
[04:01] <drbair> peterhd: run fsck.xfs /dev/hdb3... see what that says
[04:01] <drbair> peterhd: sudo that
[04:01] <bruenig> cdrecord is good
[04:01] <eckounltd> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87798&highlight=%2Fetc%2Fmodprobe.d
[04:01] <adub> ya i have used cdrecord
[04:01] <kitche> yeah cdrecord is once you get to understand it
[04:01] <eckounltd> scroll to mhael
[04:02] <adub> what about dvd decryption
[04:02] <zcat[1] > I just stick a blank disk in and use the window that pops up. What software is that? Nautilus?

[04:02] <adub> will k3b burn dvd  ??
[04:02] <Garugaga> i am having trouble installing ubuntu
[04:02] <bruenig> adub, yes
[04:02] <Garugaga> it just locks up
[04:02] <Garugaga> i think it is graphical
[04:02] <bruenig> adub, burn dvd isos
[04:02] <drbair> peterhd: sudo apt-get install xfsprogs to install the xfs utilites and then try again
[04:02] <eckounltd> bruenig http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87798&highlight=%2Fetc%2Fmodprobe.d scroll to mhael
[04:03] <kitche> CorpseFeeder: yes since you don't have a device that is called that
[04:03] <adub> what does k3b have that gnomebaker doesnt??
[04:03] <Garugaga> my monitor says that the signal is out of range
[04:03] <tonyyarusso> Actually, shoot
[04:03] <adub> just a better interface ??
[04:03] <drbair> adub: a lot more features
[04:03] <adub> like what drbair
[04:03] <drbair> adub: video dvds, verify after burn
[04:04] <drbair> adub: bootable cds... lots more
[04:04] <bruenig> eckounltd, then do what it says, do sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list, then add that line and save
[04:04] <kitche> adub: k3b is a better linux nero :P
[04:04] <eckounltd> bad_list isnt there tho
[04:04] <adub> k3b it is then
[04:04] <adub> what about dvd decryption
[04:04] <superDude> 
[04:04] <xtknight> i'm not a fan of gnomebaker
[04:04] <kitche> !dvd|adub
[04:04] <ubotu> adub: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:04] <xtknight> there needs to be a better burning program for gnome imo
[04:04] <bruenig> adub, k3b is much faster for audio cd burn, gnomebaker was struggling with oggs of all things
[04:04] <drbair> adub: no... they've kept their fingers out of that
[04:04] <peterhd> drbair:  response is:  "if you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem ... "
[04:04] <xtknight> even nerolinux looks rather lackluster
[04:05] <adub> what for linux is good for dvd decryption
[04:05] <bruenig> !libdvdcss
[04:05] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:05] <linuxgoober> can someone send me to a link to set up sendmail?
[04:05] <adub> like if i want to back up a dvd i own you know
[04:05] <drbair> adub: I use lxdvdrip, a commandline utility that's never let me down. Some people use dvdshrink in wine
[04:06] <drbair> peterhd: ... is that all?
[04:06] <kitche> linuxgoober: sendmail.org
[04:06] <linuxgoober> thx
[04:06] <bruenig> adub, what I do is, dd if=/dev/hdc of=whatever.iso, then burn the iso
[04:06] <adub> drbair i use to use dvd decryptor through wine
[04:06] <Moosejaw> crimsun: u still here?  I am still have connection issue
[04:06] <Moosejaw> s
[04:06] <bruenig> hdc might be different depending on the name of your drive
[04:06] <zcat[1] > I used to use acidrip but it's probably not the best tool.. just the first thing that seemed to work.
[04:06] <drbair> i just have lxdvdrip rip the main feature, its never failed
[04:06] <adub> bruenig does that command encode as well ??
[04:07] <peterhd> drbair:  "if you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see xfs_check(8) and xfs_repair(8)." that's it!
[04:07] <bruenig> adub, I thought you  meant back it up on another dvd
[04:07] <adub> bruenig i do
[04:07] <bruenig> adub, it just copies the disk image, and then you reburn the disk image to another dvd
[04:07] <bruenig> there is no encoding
[04:07] <adub> what if you rip 7.3 gigs
[04:07] <drbair> peterhd: maybe xfs_check /dev/hdb3
[04:07] <zcat[1] > adub: use dual-layer blanks :)
[04:08] <bruenig> well yeah I suppose if you have dual layer, then you will need dual layer for that
[04:08] <adub> oh no those are too expensive plus my writing wont write those
[04:08] <Moosejaw> can someone help me get my wireless working.. I have an Intel 2915 wireless card and am running Edgy.
[04:08] <zcat[1] > xdvdshrink might be what you want..
[04:08] <peterhd> drbair:  ran xfs_check /dev/hdb3, no output, just returned to command prompt
[04:08] <Derlavai> can someone send me a link to an unbuntu install faq or wiki? thanks!
[04:08] <pord> hi there.... im trying to install ubuntu and on the install i have set up my partitions and set one drive to / but still says NO root filesystem and wont let me progress.... any ideas?
[04:09] <bruenig> !install | Derlavai
[04:09] <ubotu> Derlavai: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[04:09] <adub> there is a dvd shrink version for linux ??
[04:09] <drbair> peterhd: you sure that you have a filesystem on that drive?
[04:10] <zcat[1] > adub: just looking at what I have installed dvd::rip and xdvdshrink ...
[04:10] <bruenig> !info xdvdshrink
[04:10] <ubotu> Package xdvdshrink does not exist in any distro I know
[04:10] <peterhd> drbair:  if I fdisk -l it lists all 3.
[04:11] <drbair> peterhd: just means theres a partition... not necessarily a filesystem though
[04:11] <CorpseFeeder> ok.. apparently my crashing problem is not wine but with the X system. What should I be looking for to find the problem?
[04:11] <pord> im trying to install ubuntu and on the install i have set up my partitions and mounted one drive to / but still says NO root filesystem and wont let me progress.... any ideas?
[04:11] <adub> zcat[1]   what about the newer disk that have added security
[04:11] <xtknight> CorpseFeeder: is X crashing when you run a wine app?
[04:11] <drbair> anyone know a command to get filesystem info on an unknown partition? maybe testdisk?
[04:11] <fratauru> hi!!!!!!!
[04:11] <adub> like in windows you have to use other programs with dvd decryptor
[04:11] <CorpseFeeder> xtknight: yes
[04:12] <peterhd> drbair:  i suppose I could reformat it, there was nothing on it yet.  I created it to be a repository for files recorded off wintv
[04:12] <xtknight> CorpseFeeder: mine is too.  i was told to reinstall my nvidia drivers which I have done, but I have yet to test if that fixed it.  supposedly an X server update destroyed some library.
[04:12] <zcat[1] > adub: no idea. Windows tends to be ahead in that area....
[04:12] <CorpseFeeder> I will try that
[04:12] <drbair> peterhd: ok, know how to format it?
[04:13] <peterhd> drbair:  it's been a while, but I keep notes on how I do things.  But, I didin't keep notes on making desktop icons linked to the drives ... I think I did it with symbolic links, does that sound right?
[04:14] <xtknight> is there a multithreaded media player?  (trying to play h.264 transport stream on a core 2 duo and one core just isnt cutting it)
[04:15] <arejay> xtknight, :mplayer?
[04:15] <drbair> peterhd: nope... look into the mkfs.xfs command
[04:16] <peterhd> drbair:  ok, thanks.
[04:16] <xtknight> arejay: the one in the repos doesnt seem to be SMP aware
[04:16] <arejay> xtknight, compile it you're self :)
[04:16] <drbair> xtknight: you using accelerated video drivers?
[04:16] <drbair> peterhd: no prob
[04:16] <xtknight> arejay: so mplayer cvs is multithreaded?
[04:16] <facugaich> how can I test if the 3d acceleration is working?
[04:17] <Moosejaw> drbair: any chance u might be able to help me getting my wireless card working with edgy?
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> I hotlinked a folder to my desktop but I can't change the Icon.  In GNome, Icould right click/properties, and change the Icon in XFCE, theres no such option, how do i change the icon for this desktop shortcut?
[04:17] <xtknight> drbair: sure am (nvidia glx on geforce 7800gt).  i doubt that they have support for xvmc /h264 though
[04:17] <drbair> glxinfo | grep direct
[04:17] <arejay> xtknight, mplayer has been SMP aware for a long time, it just needs certian flags passed during configure to enable it.
[04:17] <xtknight> arejay: cool.  by that i assume you mean libavcodec, ffmpeg, and friends as well right?  (the actual decoder)
[04:18] <adub> odd there is a encode video option in k3b ill play around with k3b also in k3b can someone let me know where the burn video option is
[04:18] <facugaich> drbair: Yeah, but I was looking for a 'live' demostration. Like glxgears.
[04:19] <magic_ninja> when i installed the beta nvidia drivers i got an error about xorg failing to start, VT_GETMODE, VT_GETSTATE, and one other returned errors on starting in the detailed server output
[04:19] <drbair> facugaich: uh... maybe play a video and resize it a little bit. If your CPU usage is through the roof on a dvd quality video, something is wrong
[04:19] <LucianSolaris> very easy question, is there a way to get aptitude to restart the installation of remaining packages after adept package manager fails on a deb?  I d/led over a gig and a half of debs (anything with the word game) and I don't want to do that all over again?
[04:19] <adub> what repository would dvdshrink be on
[04:19] <LucianSolaris> adub dvdshrink is winblows only (last i checked)
[04:19] <Amadeo> I have Nvidia's 97.46 drivers installed, but my monitor isn't detected properly and my refresh rate is incorrect...I've tried editing the xorg.conf file, but I don't think that's the file even being read...the Nvidia properties report more information on my monitor than exists in that file
[04:20] <adub> there is xdvdshrink for linux
[04:20] <LucianSolaris> amadeo did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[04:20] <LucianSolaris> my bad adub
[04:20] <kitche>  Amadeo: nvidia properties actually look at the monitors actually stuff
[04:20] <Amadeo> LucianSolaris: I have not, as I don't know what I'm doing in Linux :)
[04:21] <xtknight> how do i get true fullscreen video?  vlc just maximizes a window and doesnt actually fill the screen.  any ideas?  is it a permissions issue?
[04:21] <Amadeo> kitche: How can I fix it?
[04:21] <kitche> Amadeo: fix your xorg.conf so it's the way you want it
[04:21] <Amadeo> I've done that, it doesn't change anything though
[04:22] <sneakums> xtknight: i seem to recall that hitting 'f' would do a true fullscreen in vlc, but i haven't used it in a while
[04:22] <trymmi> F is fullscreen yes
[04:22] <Shiva88> right-clicking in VLC and selecting "show full screen" does it for me
[04:22] <LucianSolaris> very easy question, is there a way to get aptitude to restart the installation of remaining packages after adept package manager fails on a deb?  I d/led over a gig and a half of debs (anything with the word game) and I don't want to do that all over again?
[04:22] <Shiva88> but i assume that's not doing it for you
[04:23] <trymmi> I just converted from Windows by the way
[04:23] <xtknight> Shiva88: no i just get a maximized window
[04:23] <trymmi> I'm in my first 30 minutes of Ubuntu
[04:23] <LucianSolaris> no one knows enough about adept or aptitude to help me?
[04:23] <lotacus> um
[04:23] <trymmi> Double click the screen
[04:23] <Amadeo> let me try the other, brb
[04:23] <trymmi> To get fullscreen
[04:23] <lotacus> is there a keyboard shortcut for loggin out? for some reason, this happened twice already, I as typing in gaim and some keystrokes I did ended up loggin gme out. :(
[04:24] <xtknight> it's still a maximized window even if I double click, press F, or do Fullscreen on the menu
[04:24] <blanky> hey does anyone know what language this is? http://www.phpfusion-no.com/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=24&thread_id=69
[04:24] <lotacus> now I have to re-select the many packages I was tryi8ng to install at the same time as using gaim. augh.
[04:24] <sneakums> LucianSolaris: if adept put the debs in /var/cache/apt/archive then aptitude will not re-download them
[04:24] <xtknight> blanky: probably Norwegian
[04:24] <blanky> xtknight: thanks I apprecaite it
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> adub, did you find the link to dvdshrink
[04:24] <sneakums> LucianSolaris: sorry, /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:24] <blanky> *appreciate
[04:24] <lotacus> yea
[04:24] <Shiva88> yeah, i think so
[04:24] <lotacus> or dutch
[04:24] <lotacus> or something
[04:24] <blanky> thanks guys
[04:24] <xtknight> phpfusion-no << "no" is norwegian country code
[04:24] <Shiva88> sweedish perhaps?
[04:25] <LucianSolaris> sneakums is there a command for it to start over?  i don't wanna have to recheck all those damn packages (takes a few mins for my system to 'check' them in adept)
[04:25] <Flannel> lotacus: ctrl-alt-backspace restarts X (you'll go back to GDM)
[04:25] <lotacus> no that wasn't what I pressed
[04:25] <LucianSolaris> Hey, it's Flannel!
[04:25] <sneakums> LucianSolaris: i haven't used adept, so i don't know what it's doing when it says it's checking them
[04:25] <lotacus> oh well
[04:25] <binskipy2u> anyone else try this ubuntu xmas edition
[04:26] <binskipy2u> has a CRAPLOAD of presents
[04:26] <lotacus> llo
[04:26] <binskipy2u> so to speak
[04:26] <LucianSolaris> sneakums no, check as in gui checking (click the check box)
[04:26] <adub> what repositories have dvd::rip
[04:26] <Jordan_U> noobcook: ping
[04:26] <binskipy2u> anyone see me typing?
[04:26] <binskipy2u> <new at this
[04:26] <lotacus> pong
[04:26] <lotacus> yor new at typing?
[04:26] <binskipy2u> no , new at xchat
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> adub, dvdrip is explained in the FAQ< im not sure exactly what repo it is...
[04:27] <xtknight> well using this gets me true fullscreen.  any ideas why vlc doesnt work?   ` mplayer -vo x11 -fs `
[04:27] <sneakums> LucianSolaris: oh, dunno. i tend to installs packages as i need them, with apt-get. i've never installed that many packages at once.
[04:27] <magic_ninja> what does "xserver error connection reset by peer" mean, i'm just in a console
[04:28] <kitche> magic_ninja: means an error happened check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:28] <noobcook> Jordan_U: pong
[04:28] <Shiva88> lucian.... i'm pretty new to linux myself, but according to the aptittude man page all the .debs are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:29] <Shiva88> can you find your packages there?
[04:29] <Jordan_U> noobcook: Have you followed http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX yet ?
[04:29] <noobcook> yeh i have jordan
[04:29] <adub> does anyone know if dvdrip will rip the newer encryption
[04:30] <Jordan_U> noobcook: What error are you getting now?
[04:30] <magic_ninja> kitche still looking at config
[04:30] <xtknight> This needs to be common knowledge with the latest Xorg update.  Can someone add it to ubotu?   If Wine or OpenGL apps are crashing your X Server, reinstall your video drivers (NVIDIA and ATI).

[04:32] <magic_ninja> kitche thx i didn't know about that log file...it just said that my gpu is supported through legacy drivers, so i do believe trying to install that beta driver is pointless :-)
[04:32] <kearin> Good day all.
[04:32] <kitche> magic_ninja: yep you need nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:33] <xtknight> what's the standard way to make debs?
[04:33] <xtknight> is it checkinstall?  how do you set up the preinstall and postinstall scripts, etc?  is there a DEB editor?

[04:33] <noobcook> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1515/
[04:33] <magic_ninja> alright well ima break this down brb
[04:33] <xtknight> Jordan_U: what if i want to distribute, say, the latest mplayer svn on the ubuntuforums?
[04:34] <aMoRPHeouS> can someone tell me why I'm getting these errors? http://sial.org/pbot/22374
[04:36] <Jordan_U> noobcook: Ahh, according to your xorg.conf you are still using fglrx.
[04:36] <noobcook> Jordan_U: ah what should i change it 2
[04:36] <magic_ninja> hey kitche, how do i tell my latest version of the legacy drivers
[04:36] <Jordan_U> noobcook: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh and choose "ati"
[04:37] <noobcook> Jordan_U: wont that remove my rendering and direct and all that?
[04:37] <Jordan_U> noobcook: It will take away the things you added for AIGLX, but it will also change other things that need changing so you should still do it
[04:38] <noobcook> Jordan_U: ok
[04:38] <Jordan_U> noobcook: If it takes away direct rendering then you have to use the fglrx driver and XGL :(
[04:38] <OrTigaS> hi! how can i delete files on the other HD?
[04:38] <moshe> good evening
[04:39] <moshe> anyone here using a wireless usb adapter with the ralink rt73 chipset?
[04:39] <noobcook> Jordan_U: done do i have 2 restart X?
[04:39] <Jordan_U> noobcook: Yes
[04:39] <kitche> magic_ninja: same way as you do witht he nvidia driver lastest nvidia-legacy is at 7xxxx
[04:40] <magic_ninja> i think the beta drivers aren't ready for my hardware :-)
[04:40] <noobcook> k brb
[04:40] <magic_ninja> go back to the 8.7
[04:40] <kitche> magic_ninja: what's your video card
[04:40] <magic_ninja> gf3 ti200
[04:40] <kitche> magic_ninja: ah yeah that needs legacy from now on

[04:41] <phiqtion> why isn't the mplayer mozilla plugin loading when i select a video on my browser? any wiki on this or help? thanks
[04:42] <Jordan_U> noobcook: Now you try glxinfo | grep direct again and most likely find out that you don't get direct rendering with the ati driver :(
[04:42] <OrTigaS> how can i delete files on the other drive?
[04:42] <wastrel> glxinfo  | grep render
[04:42] <OrTigaS> its in read only

[04:47] <reverendnathan> I installed Ubuntu 6.06.1... everything works as far as mice and keyboard... if I update to 6.10... will I lose that? Or has the already been set in stone?
[04:47] <Jordan_U> noobcook: Yes, first run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh again and choose fglrx
[04:48] <noobcook> ill install fglrx manually
[04:48] <noobcook> i dont trust the reconfigure
[04:48] <phiqtion> why isn't the mplayer mozilla plugin loading when i select a video on my browser? any wiki on this or help? i get a "no video" error message with a black screen
[04:48] <Jordan_U> noobcook: Why not?
[04:48] <noobcook> hmm not sure
[04:49] <exelan> I still have a problem with my ATI drivers in feisty... can I get some help?
[04:50] <SilentDis> hello :)
[04:50] <Flannel> exelan: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[04:50] <exelan> ok
[04:50] <Amadeo> I don't know what I'm doing wrong...no matter what I do, I can't get the right refresh rates to show up for my monitor...I've tried editing the xorg.conf as well as dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg...
[04:51] <SilentDis> it's rather refreshing to see people are already playing with feisty, and having more 'common' type issues (not mammoth hard locks and the like) :)
[04:51] <SilentDis> Amadeo, did you try dropping them directly into your xorg.conf file?
[04:51] <exelan> yes.  Feisty has worked great
[04:52] <exelan> so far..
[04:52] <Amadeo> SilentDis: Yes, under the monitor section I changed the horizontal/vertical numbers
[04:52] <SilentDis> Amadeo, and what happens?  error message?
[04:52] <Amadeo> nothing, I just get back into Gnome and everything's the same...settings don't let me choose more resolutions
[04:52] <reverendnathan> How do I update from 6.06.1 to 6.10?
[04:52] <Amadeo> er
[04:52] <exelan> Amadeo: is your resolution stuck in 640x480?
[04:52] <Amadeo> I mean refresh rates, not resolutions
[04:53] <Amadeo> Nope, I'm at 1280x1024
[04:53] <exelan> oh
[04:53] <SilentDis> !upgrade | reverendnathan
[04:53] <ubotu> reverendnathan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:53] <Amadeo> I can choose all the right resolutions now, but the refresh rates are always 60Hz or 55Hz, something strange like that
[04:53] <Amadeo> I have an old CRT
[04:53] <exelan> ah
[04:53] <pollywog> any good howto's for getting a rt2500 to work?
[04:54] <pollywog> I found one and it helped but I still can't connect
[04:54] <SilentDis> pollywog, what is an 'rt2500'? :)
[04:54] <pollywog> wifi
[04:54] <exelan> wifi
[04:54] <pollywog> Ralink
[04:54] <linux_newbie2> does anyone know of a terminal server solution for linux that will start x and the window manager if it is not already running?
[04:54] <magic_ninja> !nvidia-kernel
[04:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia-kernel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:54] <SilentDis> pollywog, ahhh, i have yet to mess with wifi stuff in ubuntu personally, sorry
[04:54] <pollywog> oh you will have fun with one of these cards
[04:54] <facugaich> my .html files don't show the proper icon, help please
[04:55] <magic_ninja> hey, apt tells me i got broken packages because when i do apt-get install nvidia-glx for the 8.7 driver it can't find nvidia-kernel-****
[04:55] <pollywog> I know they work but in some distros it takes a lot of work
[04:55] <reverendnathan> wow, long process... lol. Thanks, SilentDis
[04:55] <pollywog> it worked in Linspire so I know it is possible in Ubuntu
[04:55] <SilentDis> reverendnathan, not really, whatever you do DO NOT use synaptic, just use the apt-get lines :)
[04:55] <kearin> #go
[04:55] <reverendnathan> SilentDis: In 6.10? That's fine. Odd, but fine
[04:56] <kearin> Ah, sorry.
[04:56] <pollywog> Ubuntu does see the card, it's the card that won't connect
[04:56] <Amadeo> If these Nvidia drivers are detecting settings automatically, are they using a different file to store them...or can I override the detection and go by a file instead?
[04:56] <SilentDis> magic_ninja, are you trying to just install the binary blobs for nvidia?
[04:56] <exelan> What does it mean when you install your ATI drivers downloaded from the site and it comes up with a "Mesa project" device in xorg.conf???
[04:56] <pord> Hi there. Im trying to install ubuntu on my main pc which uses SATA HDDs. I sorted my partitions and mountpoints. It keeps saying that no root is mounted... so i go back to check the partitions. Once i go back it says unknown as filesystem on the partitions.... It does this for bother ext3 and ext2. Any ideas?
[04:56] <magic_ninja> Amadeo sudo gedit /var/X11/xorg.conf
[04:56] <SilentDis> reverendnathan, no no lol.  when upgrading from dapper > edgy, don't use synaptic to do it (can cause issue).  use apt-get.  once you're upgraded, you can use synaptic without issue
[04:57] <Amadeo> magic_ninja: Yeah, but it doesn't make sense to me...that file has values that are different than the values that I'm able to select within Gnome
[04:57] <reverendnathan> SilentDis Uhh... I'm using this "Distribution Upgrade" thing that poped up when I used the command the link you gave me recomended
[04:58] <Amadeo> er wait, /var/ ?
[04:58] <SilentDis> reverendnathan, that's proper. :)  i'm glad they updated that page, last time i looked at it, it still had info for how to do it direct from synaptic ;)
[04:58] <erudified> Is there any way I can get the gnome panel to occupy less than 100% of the width of the desktop? I'd like to have a little bit of the top right root window visible when a window is maximized so I can use my scroll wheel on it
[04:58] <Amadeo> :/
[04:58] <Jordan_U> reverendnathan: What problem are you having?
[04:59] <reverendnathan> SilentDis: It also had that as a second option, flagging it "NOT RECOMENDED" in big ol' capslock.
[04:59] <SilentDis> reverendnathan, LOL
[04:59] <Jordan_U> erudified: Yes, right click, it's in the properties
[04:59] <linux_newbie2> pollywog: have you looked at this how to? http://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT2500
[04:59] <erudified> I see expand, autohide, show hide buttons
[04:59] <erudified> nothing about width
[05:00] <Lam_> if my secondary master is a dvd drive, and my secondary slave is a hard drive, i can still do $ dd if=/dev/hdd of=/dev/hdb  to copy to my primary slave?

[05:01] <mezoko> I mean Ubuntu is the biggest piece of beta software EVER!

[05:01] <facugaich> It seems my .html file have lost their mime type, help?

[05:02] <mezoko> WTH!!! Whats up with that?
[05:02] <HardOCP_Boyko> Hello - my name is Brian Boyko.  I am editor of Network Performance Daily and freelance writer for HardOCP.com Consumer.  I'm doing an in-depth evaluation of Ubuntu for HardOCP.  I'm looking for one last bit of help.  Test Machine #2 has a Asus P5B-E motherboard, and I cannot get the ethernet adapter (onboard) to work.  I haven't been able to figure it out.  Version is Edgy Eft.
[05:02] <SilentDis> mezoko, but, that's why we're here, to help.
[05:02] <elbeto> I'm in deep shit and I need real help. I want to know if I can get data from an unbootable version of ubuntu with the live cd.
[05:02] <Jordan_U> mezoko: You can install a compiler, sudo apt-get install gcc
[05:02] <mezoko> SilenceGold, you wanna know the best thing? I installed cvs after a new install and it apt-get broke!!
[05:02] <mezoko> Jordan_U, yeah but that broke my nvidia drivers!
[05:02] <facugaich> elbeto: you can mount the partition from the live cd
[05:03] <elbeto> That's what i though, I will try that, how the hell I do that?
[05:03] <Jordan_U> mezoko: I find that hard to believe, broke in what way?
[05:03] <mezoko> SilentDis, but I've never had to get help with anyother distro for such simple things

[05:03] <erudified> HardOCP_Boyko, Can you post the output of sudo lspci -vv to pastebin.com
[05:03] <mezoko> keeganX, utorrent is for losers, man up and use something real :D
[05:03] <Jordan_U> mezoko: What kept giving what error?
[05:03] <facugaich> elbeto: do you now in which partition is the unbootable ubuntu install?
[05:03] <pord> Im trying to install ubuntu on my main pc which uses SATA HDDs. I sorted my partitions and mountpoints. It keeps saying that no root is mounted... so i go back to check the partitions.

[05:04] <HardOCP_Boyko> Unfortunately, I'd have to disconnect THIS computer from the monitor in order to get output from the computer with the problem.
[05:04] <mezoko> Jordan_U, oh I don't remeber this was maybe 6 months ago
[05:04] <elbeto> facu: I think I know.
[05:04] <SilentDis> mezoko, every system is different, every situation different.  ubuntu is a bit 'unique' in it's philosophy of 'all free, all the time', so sometimes some extra stuff is needed.  can you give me a specific problem you're having?
[05:04] <mezoko> SilentDis, this is the only distro that has given me 10+ problems for basic things
[05:04] <HardOCP_Boyko> If I had a second monitor (and keyboard) I'd do that.
[05:04] <keeganX> I was just at HardOCP lol
[05:05] <Dues> sup yo
[05:05] <Jordan_U> mezoko: If you are just complaining please stop, otherwise ask a question.
[05:05] <HardOCP_Boyko> Glad to hear it , KeeganX
[05:05] <SilentDis> mezoko, that's not a specific problem. :P  i'm happy to help you, but you'll have to be a bit more specific in your particular problem.  if you're here to gripe, maybe #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place :)
[05:05] <wastrel> whee it's the ubuntu hater's club
[05:05] <Dues> k so
[05:05] <Dues> who wants to help me with
[05:05] <mezoko> Jordan_U, well my question is when is ubuntu gonna shape up, because it really hurts the linux community
[05:05] <Dues> resizing my windows partition~
[05:05] <magic_ninja> well i got the nv driver working, but now i gotta get nvidia-glx installed...
[05:05] <HardOCP_Boyko> Actually, I'm very impressed - Ubuntu ran relatively flawlessly on Test Machine #1.
[05:06] <mezoko> oh and not to mention the xorg upgrade the broke a shtiload of systems
[05:06] <magic_ninja> mezoko: how does ubuntu hurt the community
[05:06] <HardOCP_Boyko> But Test Machine #2
[05:06] <mezoko> I mean how can someone not catch that
[05:06] <facugaich> elbeto: then you can boot the live cd, create a mount point (mkdir /media/something), and then "sudo mount /dev/<part> /media/something", where part is the partition you want to mount
[05:06] <craigbass1976> mezoko, it is a bit of an adjustment coming from another distro.  I've come from RH and Fedora
[05:06] <craigbass1976> mezoko, what exactly is messing up for you?
[05:06] <mezoko> magic_ninja, it fends off many n00bs because of this odd problems
[05:06] <magic_ninja> i was thinking about trying mandriva but i believed mandrake to be to bloated and wastful

[05:06] <Dues> can anyone read that post and tell me why Ubuntu isn't letting me resize my windows partition
[05:06] <facugaich> elbeto: OR you can use GParted
[05:07] <Dues> mezoko
[05:07] <mezoko> craigbass1976, ndiswrapper refused to load in the kernel, I install compile tools it break for nvidia, I have a fresh install, install cvs and it breaks apt
[05:07] <Dues> you can't troll trolls
[05:07] <kitche> mezoko: sorry but linux in general has odd problems
[05:07] <Dues> o.o
[05:07] <facugaich> elbeto: through the live cd of course
[05:07] <mezoko> kitche, bullshit!
[05:07] <elbeto> how do I use gparted
[05:07] <magic_ninja> for some reason i don't have nvidia-kernel-1.0.8** in my repos so i can't install the nvidia-glx driver any info

[05:08] <magic_ninja> not anymore
[05:08] <magic_ninja> just trying to get 8.7 back in
[05:08] <mezoko> craigbass1976, it wasn't even wirless, the ndiswrapper module wouldn't load at all
[05:08] <erudified> HardOCP_Boyko, It seems that your card isn't supported in Ubuntu by default...
[05:08] <mezoko> kitche, well I've had a rock stable platform for ever
[05:08] <facugaich> elbeto: it's a GUI for partition managing, I think you can use it without help.
[05:08] <SilentDis> magic_ninja, may I make a recommendation?  if you'd like to use the latest binary blobs, there's a tool that'll basically do all the dirty work for you ;)
[05:08] <craigbass1976> mezoko, what have you got for a card?  If it's not wireless, what are you usingthe wrapper for?  I've only used it for wireless
[05:08] <erudified> HardOCP_Boyko, I'd suggest sticking in just about any other ethernet card ever made =P
[05:08] <SilentDis> Dues, what did I say?
[05:09] <facugaich> elbeto: It should be somewhere in Applications I can't quite remember. If not try in System.
[05:09] <mezoko> craigbass1976, the dam module couldn't even load
[05:09] <SilentDis> !envy | magic_ninja

[05:09] <mezoko> its small problems like these that scare of the user base, and makes people thing linux is awful
[05:09] <mezoko> when really its a just the distro :'(
[05:09] <HardOCP_Boyko> Erudified: That's what I'm thinking...
[05:09] <magic_ninja> SilentDis: i don't think that beta 9 driver is gonna work for this gf3, anyway i want my old one back, and i've already looked into envy, its nice but i would rather just get my old drivers back

[05:10] <facugaich> elbeto: I don't remember where does it mount them though
[05:10] <erudified> HardOCP_Boyko, It'd be easier & quicker than compiling/loading that module if you've got a spare lying around
[05:10] <Dues> what about the op list SilentDis

[05:10] <rob> hey?

[05:10] <erudified> HardOCP_Boyko, on the upside there is a driver and it'll probably be in 2.6.20

[05:11] <erudified> hah that's okay =)

[05:11] <erudified> Not sure, it might be out already
[05:11] <Madpilot> Jordan_U, I know, because I removed him. I should have put a ;) after 'who?'

[05:11] <kitche> HardOCP_Boyko: you mean in ubuntu?
[05:11] <kitche> HardOCP_Boyko: they said it might be in feisty
[05:12] <SilentDis> HardOCP_Boyko, i know the kernel is out... i THINK they're using it for Feisty, i haven't looked at it that in-depth yet though
[05:12] <jimmyk> can someone help me with the Network Monitor and a Wireless Connection?
[05:12] <facugaich> elbeto: Ok. Say "facugaich:" when you talk to me so I get notified ;)
[05:12] <craigbass1976> Dues, what did you use to resize?
[05:12] <HardOCP_Boyko> I've actually tried to install Feisty, but ended up crashing during the install.  Does Feisty have a LiveCD yet?
[05:12] <Clairp> Hi, what is the way to use a default kernel boot using grub?

[05:13] <SilentDis> HardOCP_Boyko, eh, i'd give that one till it's closer to release, march-ish for testing on a near-production environment, personally.  then again, i'm a bit of a fuddy duddy in that reguard lol
[05:13] <HardOCP_Boyko> Thanks.
[05:13] <craigbass1976> Well, someone has suggested gparted, but I have always prepared a system with knoppix and QTparted.
[05:13] <kitche> Dues: why not just use fixmbr
[05:13] <Dues> i would but
[05:13] <Dues> i lost my admin password -.-
[05:13] <SilentDis> bbiab, water finally boiling for my pasta :)
[05:14] <facugaich> Dues: through XP install CD?
[05:14] <Jordan_U> Dues: If you really don't want Ubuntu you can use the Windows install CD to write the windows bootloader to the MBR

[05:17] <kitche> ah I see why mezoko doesn't like ubuntu he's a gentoo user gotta love those trolls from them
[05:17] <erudified> Brother makes some printers that have IPP

[05:18] <ktulu-> magic_ninja, what package are you missing?
[05:18] <amit_> I read that link but didnt understand too much cause I am newbie
[05:18] <Jordan_U> kitche: No, the wiki entry does not state that it is in backports, if you confirm that it is I am going to edit it

[05:20] <toulouse> so does anyone know what i should do to fix that?
[05:20] <ktulu-> magic_ninja, have you tried apt-getting nvidia-kernel-common?

[05:25] <Flannel> wheels3572: it's in universe.  ethereal works in both edgy and dapper (although in edgy, its a metapackage to wireshark)

[05:34] <Dues> i didn't, repeat i didn't, it's a question that i'm sure the ops only know because i'm sure they configured the installer
[05:34] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> thats lame
[05:34] <[set] > kitche: so do i just skip installing linux-dri-modules-2.17.0-10-generic ?
[05:35] <[set] > kitche: in that guide
[05:35] <mcquaid> anyone recommend a good dvd encoder (encoding source xvids in avi)? besides devede
[05:35] <Madpilot> Dues, you'd guess wrong - ops aren't developers, generally. Hitting the ops tell is like dialing 911, you don't do it just to ask for directions...
[05:35] <Prime_Numbers> How come I cant see a list of users in the room?
[05:35] <mcquaid> I don't like that devede takes twice the space to encode something
[05:35] <Dues> Madpilot
[05:35] <Dues> you didn't read my question
[05:35] <Dues> OR my reason why i told you
[05:35] <Dues> it's a question about the developers, i'm not here usually
[05:35] <kitche> [set] : yeah mesa-dri does the same thing
[05:35] <Dues> so how the hell would i know you're not one
[05:36] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> Ops are GODS, not to be bother unlike there is a plague or something
[05:36] <kitche> Dues: developers don't hang out here or if tey do they don't make it known
[05:36] <varsendaggr> hey i installed the mozilla firefox,...   how do i un install it?
[05:36] <Dues> or k
[05:36] <Dues> oh*
[05:36] <Dues> thanks kitche
[05:36] <Dues> mr. angry Madpilot could've told me that :] 
[05:37] <Protecode> Oh no, Its broken: http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/misc/broken_glibc/broken_glibc.c
[05:37] <Madpilot> Dues, if you've got a problem, ask the channel. Don't yell for the ops.
[05:38] <facugaich> varsendaggr: how did you install it? through Synaptic?
[05:38] <linux_newbie2> varsendaggr: Applications menu -> Add/Remove...
[05:38] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> is linux gonna be a pain in the butt after windows?
[05:38] <linux_newbie2> tHeTrUetheOnethe: what do you mean?
[05:38] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> hard to work with
[05:38] <SilentDis> i'm back
[05:39] <Dues> Madpilot
[05:39] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> im used to windows
[05:39] <Dues> last i heard i didn't think the developers were everyone in here <_<
[05:39] <linux_newbie2> tHeTrUetheOnethe: generally things are harder to set up
[05:39] <Dues> so i asked hte ops thinking you were developers
[05:39] <kitche> tHeTrUetheOnethe: you will have to get use to it just like in windows
[05:39] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> will it be hard to find drivers?
[05:40] <Protecode> Dues: Evil bug isnt it ? -> http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/misc/broken_glibc/broken_glibc.c
[05:40] <Madpilot> tHeTrUetheOnethe, no, mostly you don't need any extra drivers installed. Things just work. (generally)
[05:40] <kitche> tHeTrUetheOnethe: the kernel usually has all drivers but for some wireless and other things
[05:41] <varsendaggr> i installed it from with a script.
[05:41] <dodo_> hi all
[05:41] <Madpilot> Dues, your best bet for getting help is just asking here, not bugging the ops or the devs...
[05:41] <drmemory> hmm... according to FixDCCExploit, I am supposed to change my port in xchat by "going to X-chat -> Server List...".  Only thing is, my x-chat menu doesn't have anything callled "X-chat" or "Server List".  Can anybody tell me what I am missing?
[05:41] <Dues> Madpilot
[05:41] <Dues> obviously you're not even reading what i'm saying
[05:41] <Dues> so i'm not talking to you anymore
[05:41] <dodo_> i have a problem when i was update ma edgy
[05:41] <kitche> drmemory: your probably using xchat-gnome which is not xchat
[05:41] <dodo_> this is the MSG E: /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 10
[05:41] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> will ubuntu detect my broadband right away?
[05:42] <linux_newbie2> does anyone know how to boot into console instead of x?
[05:42] <facugaich> varsendaggr: following the wiki entry FireFoxNewVersion maybe?
[05:42] <Instabin> where i copy the flash plugin so that its installed for all users
[05:42] <Madpilot> tHeTrUetheOnethe, wired internet should work right away. Wireless might take some work.
[05:42] <kitche> linux_newbie2: make sure that gdm is not started on boot
[05:42] <facugaich> linux_newbie2: you can use recovery mode to get a root terminal
[05:42] <tHeTrUetheOnethe> alright time to boot it up
[05:42] <drmemory> oog!  you are probably right.  I'll see what I can find.  I am still a newbie at this.
[05:42] <kitche> Instabin: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[05:42] <linux_newbie2> kitche: how do I change what is started on boot?
[05:42] <SilentDis> linux_newbie2, by default, ubuntu starts up with 6 consoles running, and the xserver.  you can switch between them with <ctrl>-<alt>-<f1-6> for the consoles, <f7> for the x session
[05:43] <Instabin> kitche i copyed it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[05:43] <drmemory> later.  thanks, kitche
[05:43] <dodo_> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 10 can any one help me in this problem
[05:43] <kitche> Instabin: that might work not sure though since I put everything in firefox sicne I use firefox
[05:43] <kitche> linux_newbie2: I do stuff by hand but update-rc.d is probably easier for you think that's the name of the tool
[05:44] <wastrel> sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[05:44] <Instabin> kitche: it was not working there
[05:44] <kuma> yay, people =)
[05:44] <Instabin> so i did what you said testing now
[05:44] <SilentDis> dodo_, the only 'solution' i'd personally have is to revert to a previous sources.list or the like... while that'll 'solve' it, there's something else borked that's causing that error.  I'd recommend asking again in a few minutes to see if you can get a 'real' answer, rather than a workaround from me.
[05:45] <seamus7> Can someone help me fix my xorg.conf file? ... I want to edit it to use only one screen (I had it using BigDesktop) .. I'm using X1300 with 128MB memory though when I do fireglcontrol it says it only recognizes 64MB of memory ... maybe that has to do with BigDesktop???
[05:45] <seamus7> ...sorry that's ATI X1300.
[05:45] <Instabin> kitche: Works now thank you much
[05:45] <dodo_> okay
[05:46] <Dues> or
[05:46] <Dues> actually
[05:46] <Dues> is there a way to remove GRUB?
[05:46] <Dues> or someone mentioned i can do something in the windows installer other than going into system recovery
[05:46] <bulmer> use lilo maybe?
[05:46] <Flannel> Dues: what you trying to ultimately accomplish?
[05:46] <toulouse> anyone know why my filesystem check would fail "with an exit status of 8."
[05:46] <Dues> bulmer: why would i use lilo if i'm trying to do something in windows
[05:47] <Flannel> Dues: you'll need to "fixmbr" with a windows CD
[05:47] <Dues> Flannel: i'm trying to remove GRUB so i can get into windows XP, it says Grub loading 1.5 error 22
[05:47] <bulmer> i only read the part about removing grub..
[05:47] <SilentDis> Dues, yes, you'll need something to replace it, either lilo (which is a bit of a pain), or the windows boot manager (which won't work right with linux).  what is the 'end goal' of what you're trying to do, what is the actual problem?
[05:47] <bulmer> slight delay
[05:47] <Flannel> Dues: you're removing linux entirely?
[05:47] <kuma> I need some help, is a very simple question: When I close the amarok the icon that appeared in the bottom of the screen showing that was running in the background isn't there anymore. Do you know how can i enable it again?
[05:47] <Dues> SilentDis: i plan to have linux on another PC, so i'm going for teh boot installer
[05:47] <Flannel> Dues: grub will boot fine to XP, but it can't find /boot currently, which is giving you that error
[05:48] <Dues> Flannel: it was already removed, i deleted the partition but grub thinks that i'm still using linux
[05:48] <Dues> yeah
[05:48] <SilentDis> Dues, ahh.  if you're looking to totally remove all traces of linux from this box, it's probably best to just reinstall whatever os you're replacing it with (I.E. windows)
[05:48] <Flannel> Dues: right, you need a windows CD, and then fixmbr
[05:49] <seamus7> kuma: in Amarok options there is probably an option to minimize Amarok when you close it rather than shutting it down .... is that what you want?
my source.list havent any prob
[05:49] <bulmer> wouldnt he be better re-installing linux..then fix the grub and remove entries for linux and leave the selection for windows only?
[05:49] <Instabin> In beryl how do i make the desktop cube transparent
[05:50] <bulmer> off course the linux portion can be removed too
[05:50] <blanky> bulmer: just put in the windows disk, recovery console, type FIXMBR
[05:50] <SilentDis> Instabin, join me in #beryl, i'll help you there with that :)
[05:50] <blanky> then it'll re-install the typical windows bootloader
[05:50] <bulmer> blanky not i..
[05:50] <blanky> bulmer: well I don't know who you're talking to
[05:50] <blanky> tell whoever you're talking to...

[05:54] <toulouse> ey guys, if i play with Gparted- do i need to update my fstab file????
[05:55] <kitche> toulouse: depends if you make another partition or move a partition
[05:55] <Moosejaw> can someone help me get my wireless nic connected to the router using wpa?   I was able to do it with my other machine, but am having a fit with this one.
[05:56] <toulouse> kitche: ok, here's the problem, i have a partition (/dev/sda6) and i think it's cause my filesystem check to die "with a status of 8", so i just wanna delete that partition and then make it again
[05:56] <toulouse> *causing
[05:57] <BFrank> hello
[05:57] <BFrank> does anyone know of a linux command for enabling or disabling the wireless radio?
[05:57] <kuma> hi sorry, i... fell xD
[05:57] <BFrank> I am on a compaq 2205 and it has a wireless button, but it doesn't work
[05:57] <toulouse> kitche: do you think that would get rid of the problem?
[05:58] <unclemike> ? just installed ubuntu 6.10...i can get download speeds of 200 kbps in firefox...but downloading packages in add/remove applications. ionly get at most 22 kbps
[05:58] <n2diy> BFrank:  ifdown (device), and ifup (device)?
[05:58] <dodo_> hye guys plz anyone help me
[05:58] <dodo_> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 10
[05:58] <kuma> errr, so seamus7 answered me a question, but i didn't quit catched the answer so i'll ask again, how can i see the applications running in the background?
[05:58] <Flannel> unclemike: try a different mirror
[05:59] <BFrank> hmm, actually
[05:59] <BFrank> it isn't seeing the wireless card
[05:59] <BFrank> when I ifconfig
[05:59] <kuma> he said something about a notification panel, but i couldn't find it.
[05:59] <unclemike> Flannel, how do i switch mirrors
[05:59] <seamus7> kuma: I believe you're simply looking for the "notification area" applet .... just right-click the panel and select "add to panel" then drag the "notification area" icon to the place on the panel you want it.
[05:59] <Flannel> unclemike: you'd edit /etc/apt/sources.list to have a different url
[05:59] <wikijeff> I'm having trouble playing DVDs on Edgy Eft. When I try to play one using the Movie Player it gets an error saying the source is encrypted and can't be read and asks if I have libdvdcss, I have libdvdread and can't find anything else suitable in synaptic, is that not enough?
[06:00] <Clairp> Hi, What is the way that the user in linux cannot see other processes by others users?
[06:00] <kuma> thank you seamus7 :), the thing is that i have the spanish version of the kubuntu and there's nothing with that name, could you please descibe me the icon? :)
[06:00] <unclemike> Flannel, where do i get a list of different mirrors
[06:00] <n2diy> Clairp: permissions
[06:00] <kuma> seamus7: nvm, i found it, thanks a lot!
[06:00] <seamus7> kuma: great!
[06:01] <threeonefour> where are the system logs stored
[06:01] <ttmrichter> wikijeff: you need to download libdvdcss from another source because it is illegal to distribute in many regions.  Well, OK.  One.  The USA.

[06:02] <Flannel> unclemike: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive/OfficialMirrors
[06:02] <wikijeff> ttmrichter: I'm in the USA and do not wish to do anything illegal. Does this mean I cannot play commercially available DVDs (from netflix) in linux? On windows I have no trouble playing these DVDs.

[06:03] <deepbluegene> !grub
[06:03] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:03] <[set] > could not init font path element blah, removing from list
[06:03] <wastrel> wikijeff:  IANAL but i believe that in the us it is illegal for your to play dvd's on linux
[06:03] <[set] > it doesn't go to kdm or gdm
[06:03] <Flannel> deepbluegene: fedora probably wrote in it's own boot thing, without seeing ubuntu.  You could edit your grub config (fedoras /boot/grub/grub.conf probably) to include ubuntu, or reinstall, from that above link
[06:03] <Jordan_U> wikijeff: Legally you cannot, morally you can ( because you paid for the license to do so when you bought windows / your DVD player ) and nobody is going to charge you for doing it
[06:03] <neo911> what can i use to backup my movie dvd's to an iso image?
[06:03] <aMoRPHeouS> why doesn't gcc come with standard libraries?
[06:04] <manny> you afraid to play a dvd in your linux install?
[06:04] <manny> just put it in
[06:04] <wastrel> aMoRPHeouS:  did you just install gcc?  install build-essential for a complete build toolchain & environment
[06:04] <wikijeff> ttmrichter: ok, thank you.
[06:05] <aMoRPHeouS> wastrel: gcc is there, but when I try to compile network drivers no standard headers  can be found
[06:05] <wastrel> aMoRPHeouS:  have you installed build-essential ?
[06:05] <ToHellWithGA> i need to setup my tty to have the right "windows" key act as a compose key.  what do i run to make that happen?
[06:05] <aMoRPHeouS> no
[06:05] <wastrel> do so
[06:05] <aMoRPHeouS> can I do that with just the CD?
[06:05] <deepbluegene> flannel:grub.conf or menu.lst?
[06:05] <Flannel> aMoRPHeouS: install build-essential, gcc only is gcc, no libraries, or anything.  b-e has everything you'll need
[06:05] <wastrel> what's a compose key
[06:05] <max_> where is the startup script(where all the programs that start on startup) located?
[06:05] <kitche> [set] : so it exits X you want it to go to gdm?
[06:05] <Jordan_U> ToHellWithGA: What do you mean by compose key?
[06:05] <Flannel> deepbluegene: um, ubuntu uses menu.lst, fedora might use grub.conf, I don't know
[06:06] <rhaebuster> I just installed ubuntu edgy eft on my laptop, got my bcm4318 wireless working with networkmanager, then installed the updates. Now every application I open (even opening home and trash) takes 15-20 seconds.

[06:06] <rhaebuster> Any ideas?
[06:06] <turbolover> anyone here manage to get defcon working under wine?
[06:06] <aMoRPHeouS> Flannel or wastrel: can I install without being online. i.e. from install CD?
[06:06] <deepbluegene> flannel:oh ok
[06:06] <Flannel> aMoRPHeouS: you can
[06:06] <aMoRPHeouS> ok
[06:06] <ToHellWithGA> Jordan_U: a compose key lets you type, as an example <right win><n><~> to get the n-like character in jalepeno
[06:07] <ToHellWithGA> what is the french channel?
[06:07] <aMoRPHeouS> I just do: install build-essential from console?
[06:07] <ToHellWithGA> they might would know
[06:07] <Flannel> aMoRPHeouS: there's a small repository on the desktop cd, and [the entire CD on]  the alternate CD, both include b-e, you'll need to use apt-cdrom to add the CD to your repositories, if you haven't already done so.

[06:13] <ubotu> doctormo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:13] <dexemna> I'm having trouble making both video out ports on my video card be different screens in X11 with nvidia drivers
[06:13] <dexemna> Is there an easier way to do this besides hacking my xorg.conf?
[06:14] <n2diy> ubuntu, are you using edgy, and it worked in dabber?
[06:14] <threeonefour> i need some ones help to find out why my linux didn't load     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1524/
[06:15] <rhaebuster> I just installed ubuntu edgy eft on my laptop, got my bcm4318 wireless working with networkmanager, then installed the updates. Now every application (even opening home and trash) takes 15-20 seconds to start. Any ideas?
[06:15] <doctormo> The problem is as follows: I have a Wacom Intruos3 6x4 (usb) it is supported in kernel 2.6.18 but not in 2.6.17; at the moment with the standard 2.6.17 ubuntu kernel uses usbhid instead of wacom module for my tablet. without somehow updating the wacom module in my kernel I won't be able to get it to work.
[06:15] <ubuntu> no, before I used a regular monitor but now I am using a 37 inch widescreen tv and it is not giving me any widescreen resolutions to use.
[06:16] <doctormo> ubuntu: You need to detect the supported resolutions then add them to the configuration in xorg.conf
[06:16] <Dues> err
[06:16] <Dues> i just ran a live CD
[06:16] <Dues> and after it's done loading the crap
[06:16] <nomasteryoda> threeonefour, looks like you have a bad sector on the hard drive
[06:16] <Dues> i'm a ta blank screen with a _
[06:16] <Flannel> Dues: looks like a bad burn, or an X problem
[06:17] <Dues> k
[06:17] <ubuntu> how? 1360x768 which is my recomended resolution is there but it doesn't show up in the "display" menu
[06:17] <nomasteryoda> or maybe you need to use the alternate cd
[06:17] <doctormo> ubuntu: can you show me your config?
[06:17] <ubuntu> ill pm it to you
[06:17] <SilentDis> threeonefour, from looking at that log, it appears the load is failing on HDB (second hard drive), getting TONS of errors off the drive
[06:17] <nomasteryoda> threeonefour, line 1189 shows that error
[06:18] <Dues> actually wait i still have hope~ lol
[06:18] <threeonefour> nomasteryoda,  realy    what program can detect bad sectors   like scandisk  is what i am thinking  but linux eqivilent
[06:18] <Flannel> !fixres | ubuntu
[06:18] <ubotu> ubuntu: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:18] <doctormo> threeonefour: it does exist
[06:18] <Dues> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2009767&postcount=2
[06:19] <Dues> so i can just boot into windows 98 and go into rescue mode and type that?
[06:19] <doctormo> ubotu: ubuntu: he should also use [ctrl] -[alt] -[backspace] 
[06:19] <n2diy> ubuntu, what happens when you hit crl+  +  ?
[06:19] <stepanstas> hey guys
[06:20] <Dues> sup
[06:20] <Dues> ctrl + +? lol
[06:20] <doctormo> n2diy: crtl-alt-backspace resets the X windows system
[06:20] <threeonefour> doctormo, i am asking the name of the program   so what is the name of the program
[06:20] <Flannel> Dues: not really sure.  You might try asking in ##windows
[06:20] <pord> i cant get anything to work that requires root password. I get password right it then it does nothing and sits there
[06:20] <n2diy> doctormo: yes, it does.
[06:20] <stepanstas> i just installed wine, where is it and how does it work?
[06:20] <Flannel> pord: ubuntu doesn't ahve a root password by default, we use sudo.
[06:20] <Flannel> !sudo | pord
[06:20] <ubotu> pord: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:20] <pord> i been using sudo
[06:20] <pord> but still does nothing
[06:21] <doctormo> stepanstas: type in `wine program.exe` to run a windows program
[06:21] <n2diy> Dues: try it.
[06:21] <SilentDis> stepanstas, you can usually type 'wine windowsexecutableprogram.exe' and it'll try it's best :)
[06:21] <nomasteryoda> !wine
[06:21] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:21] <ubuntu> i have already followed the instruction on the fixresolutionshowto with no luck
[06:21] <stepanstas> doctormo, silentdis: do i have to go through terminal each time?
[06:21] <SilentDis> pord, what are you trying to do?  I missed your question
[06:21] <threeonefour> nomasteryoda,  what program detects bad sector on linux
[06:21] <nomasteryoda> ie4linux works with wine
[06:22] <ubuntu> doctormo how do you want me to send you the xorg.conf
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> fsck should
[06:22] <HP_> jeje... no speak spanish?
[06:22] <pord> This is what i tried:/Desktop$ sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run
[06:22] <pord> Password:
[06:22] <pord> pord@pord-desktop:~/Desktop$            <<< sit here and doesnt load installer.... same for any other app that needs sudo
[06:22] <doctormo> stepanstas: no, both kde and gnome allow you to run exes
[06:22] <SilentDis> stepanstas, if you want, you can hit ctrl-f2 and type it there.  or, create a link on your desktop/applications menu/etc
[06:22] <drmemory> Problem:  I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M in my laptop.  I installed ATI's fglrx driver to accelerate the graphics, which worked.  But now I can't play mp3 audio files (realPlayer).  Anybody know what to do about this?
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> threeonefour, boot up the live cd and run fsck on the /dev/hdb
[06:22] <pord> u need the codec drmemory
[06:22] <nomasteryoda> type man fsck for detailed instruction
[06:22] <drmemory> (I know, get rid of the radeon, but it iss too late for that.)
[06:23] <threeonefour> nomasteryoda,  thx
[06:23] <stepanstas> doctormo: how do i do that?
[06:23] <doctormo> drmemory: perhaps it's an oss problem, tr using aoss
[06:23] <doctormo> stepanstas: single click on the exe should do it
[06:23] <SilentDis> pord, i'd recommend envy to do the nvidia install personally... as for why it didn't run, you do have permission to sudo, right?
[06:23] <drmemory> pord: mp3 codec?  is that ATI specific, or something general?
[06:23] <pord> yeah i do
[06:24] <ubuntu> doctormo? it wont let me pm you (something about spam)
[06:24] <pord> nothing to do with ati drmemory u can get it from the install/remove
[06:24] <drmemory> oog.  Sorry ppl, I am a newbie at linux. doctormo: oss?
[06:24] <doctormo> ubuntu: email me doctormo [at]  gmail.com
[06:24] <toulouse> how do i check the UUID of a partition???
[06:24] <toulouse> the command *
[06:24] <k010> how can i load a script at boot?
[06:24] <nomasteryoda> vol_id
[06:24] <doctormo> drmemory: open source sound, an old sound system which ubuntu still uses for some system sounds.
[06:24] <toulouse> vol_id will do it?
[06:24] <drmemory> pord:  ok, thanks.  I'll give it a shot
[06:25] <SilentDis> ubuntu, PMs are off for most users, gatta register with nickserv to enable them.  if you have a question, it's best to keep it here in room, so we can all learn.  if it's big text stuff, use pastebin :)
[06:25] <doctormo> drmemory: alsa is the new sound system which should be used
[06:25] <nomasteryoda> yup
[06:25] <nomasteryoda> vol_id /dev/hdb1 for example
[06:25] <stepanstas> doctormo: single click doesnt do anything
[06:25] <doctormo> drmemory: but things like realplayer and flash player use oss still
[06:25] <toulouse> nomasteryoda: thanx
[06:25] <doctormo> stepanstas: then you have an error
[06:25] <nomasteryoda> np
[06:25] <dotLou> I'm using the ubuntu live cd, and I've got a little problem with gaim, I'd be glad if someone had a solution :)
[06:26] <drmemory> doctormo:  oog! so aoss is worth a try?
[06:26] <doctormo> stepanstas: open up a terminal and go to the directory and type `wine program.exe` it should tell you what the program is.
[06:26] <turbolover> -hey guys, any of you manage to get a usb midi controller working?
[06:26] <doctormo> drmemory: sudo apt-get install aoss
[06:26] <turbolover> like an oxygen 8
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> actually, vol_id returns more info than you need, but useful nonetheless
[06:26] <SilentDis> dotLou, more info please :)  what's the error/problem/etc? :)
[06:26] <dotLou> The problem I'm having with gaim is odd. It crashes when it connects to MSN.
[06:26] <stepanstas> doctormo: well the only file i have to test is paint.net setup
[06:26] <stepanstas> doctormo: it failed
[06:26] <drmemory> doctormo: sounds too easy to be true.  thanks
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> dotLou, call MS
[06:26] <nomasteryoda> =D
[06:27] <dotLou> nomasteryoda: I'd rather not waste my time on the MS phonline kthx =p
[06:27] <doctormo> stepanstas: I don't think that'll run anyway
[06:27] <adub_> how do you burn a video cd with k3b
[06:27] <doctormo> drmemory: you also need to run the program through aoss
[06:27] <drmemory> Jordan_U:  This is Jeff Bulf.  Thank you for referring me to this channel at yr folks' NYE party
[06:27] <stepanstas> doctormo: are the limits of wine only exe that run by themselves, no installs and stuff?
[06:27] <ubuntu> i sent you the the email doctormo
[06:27] <theflyingfool> here is my stupid question for the night, is there any advantage to installing via live cd or is the alternative the better way to go
[06:27] <SilentDis> dotLou, that's a bit odd... could just be bad data coming down from the server and crashing it though.  have you used the other protocols in it without trouble?
[06:27] <nomasteryoda> dotLou, i would try removing the msn profile from your .gaim file if possible or if it even exists
[06:28] <doctormo> stepanstas: nothing should run by it's self
[06:28] <nomasteryoda> then trying agin...
[06:28] <drmemory> doctormo:  run the program?
[06:28] <Jordan_U> drmemory: Hey, still having problems?
[06:28] <pollywog> I finally got wifi working and all I did was modify /etc/network/interfaces and then use RaConfig to connect with WPA
[06:28] <drmemory> doctormo:  like RealPlayer?
[06:28] <doctormo> drmemory: yes
[06:28] <pollywog> I am not sure I can get WEP to work
[06:28] <dotLou> nomasteryoda, SilentDis: I'm not the only one with this problem apparently. A friend of mine has the same problem. It's odd really. I haven't tried any other client, I'd rather use gaim if I can.
[06:28] <nomasteryoda> theflyingfool, does not really matter, but I think the alternate cd is slower
[06:28] <pollywog> but WPA is better anyway
[06:29] <drmemory> Jordan_U: higher problems, about higher things.  I upgraded sucessfully to Edgy.  Works fine
[06:29] <theflyingfool> does ubuntu have a netinstall cd so i can have it not install some stuff?
[06:29] <nomasteryoda> dotLou, you may need a newer version than is in the repos for the version of Ubuntu you are using...
[06:29] <SilentDis> dotLou, i don't blame you.  gaim is nice for a gui chat app.  I tend to stick to text based for chat, personally, using centericq right now, as example :)
[06:29] <Jordan_U> !install | theflyingfool
[06:29] <ubotu> theflyingfool: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[06:29] <nomasteryoda> just my guess.. .i IRC mostly nowadays
[06:29] <_magez_> !beryl
[06:29] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[06:29] <drmemory> Jordan_U: NetworkManager is a winner
[06:30] <nomasteryoda> yes that nm-applet works very well
[06:30] <doctormo> ubuntu: the horz/vert Hz is that required?
[06:30] <stepanstas> doctor mo: can you give some example of programs that work with wine?
[06:30] <dotLou> SilentDis: I don't want gaim for anything but MSN really, as it's probably the best for that for linux. I'd use trillian if I could to be perfectly honest. I'm using xchat for irc though
[06:30] <nomasteryoda> winzip stepanstas
[06:30] <pollywog> is there a WPA front end besides RaConfig?
[06:30] <ce33na66> I want a process to start on bootup and automatically restart if it is killed. How can I do this?
[06:30] <doctormo> stepanstas: microsoft office 2003
[06:31] <nomasteryoda> dvdshrink, internet explorer... yup, office, firefox, etc.
[06:31] <nomasteryoda> a great many
[06:31] <SilentDis> stepanstas, WoW :D
[06:31] <stepanstas> wow, ok
[06:31] <pollywog> seems the wifi frontends that come with kubuntu are only for WEP
[06:32] <ubuntu> what do you mean?
[06:32] <SilentDis> stepanstas, that's World Of Warcraft.  it needs a few tweaks, and it's even easier to get working right with wrappers like Cedega, but linux + wine does let you play :)
[06:32] <ubuntu> in the howto it said it needs to be there
[06:33] <Pirate-King> what is the best player and program for playing mp3's and loading an Ipod?
[06:33] <pollywog> gtkpod ?
[06:33] <chinoke> hi, where can i find a nice howto to configure rp-pppoe with radius
[06:33] <doctormo> ubuntu: but it's a flatscreen right?
[06:33] <ubuntu> yes widescreen aswell
[06:33] <nomasteryoda> Pirate-King, amarok
[06:33] <nomasteryoda> 1.4.x
[06:33] <turbolover> ive heard that defcon works fine under wine in ubuntu, im running dfapper and i get some error about not being able to find fonts
[06:33] <doctormo> ubuntu: then I fail to see why those settings are needed
[06:33] <turbolover> and it skips extracting all the files
[06:33] <pollywog> nomasteryoda: does amarok load ipods?
[06:34] <nomasteryoda> yup
[06:34] <stepanstas> silentdis: i thought you ment wow as in wow, are the graphics good on games
[06:34] <nomasteryoda> i do it on my shuffle
[06:34] <doctormo> ubuntu: they're CRT settings
[06:34] <theflyingfool> is running the home dir from an external drive, a good idea?
[06:34] <pollywog> I have used it to play but could not get music onto the ipod
[06:34] <ubuntu> so i should just erase them
[06:34] <doctormo> ubuntu: comment them out
[06:34] <nomasteryoda> mine syncs perfectly
[06:34] <Pirate-King> ok amarok
[06:34] <Pirate-King> it is
[06:34] <pollywog> I will try it again
[06:34] <ubuntu> okay thanks ill try that and restart kdm
[06:34] <SilentDis> stepanstas, WoW runs at at a full 40fps for me, even with it in a window, and beryl running :)
[06:35] <Jordan_U> theflyingfool: I don't see anything wrong with it
[06:35] <chinoke> can some one help me
[06:35] <pollywog> chinoke what is the question?
[06:35] <chinoke> pollywog, where can i find a nice howto to configure rp-pppoe with radius
[06:35] <moquist> how can I find out which version of gcc was used to compile my kernel?
[06:36] <pollywog> I don't know maybe someone else knows

[06:36] <theflyingfool> i am having a really odd problem on my ubuntu box, the internet is only partly working
[06:36] <pollywog> I was not sure that roaring penguin was still in use
[06:36] <chinoke> pollywog, oky

[06:37] <Instabin> Jordan_U : hard ware not software
[06:37] <SilentDis> stepanstas, it makes my friends jaws drop when i 'spin the cube' with beryl and look at the game backwards ;)
[06:37] <jisatsu_> why does the / directory still have a .. directory listed? seems odd to me
[06:37] <impulse29> Does anyone have experience with Ubuntu 6.10 on powermac G5's? I tried installing a previous version (5.1), and it just made the fans spin like mad, and didn't go anywhere
[06:37] <pollywog> chinoke I think uotu is a bot
[06:38] <pollywog> chinoke I think ubotu is a bot

[06:39] <breeder18> anybody know why I get this error when configuring Xorg in terminal? xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has been

[06:39] <ubuntu> doctormo: where at?
[06:39] <rhaebuster> I just installed ubuntu edgy eft on my laptop, got my bcm4318 wireless working with networkmanager, then installed the updates. Now every application I open (even opening home and trash) takes 15-20 seconds. Any ideas?
[06:39] <stepanstas> silentdis:do they use linux too?
[06:39] <drmemory> ok doctormo: i installled alsa-oss.  do you know how to get RealPlayer to use it?  Or recommend a different player?
[06:39] <SilentDis> stepanstas, 2 of 'em do now ;)
[06:39] <ubuntu> doctormo: it worked in windows.
[06:39] <doctormo> drmemory: yes, use `aoss RealPlayer`
[06:40] <Falstius> rhaebuster: did you use top or gnome-system-monitor to see if something is using up all of your processor or memory?
[06:40] <seamus7> What's the terminal command to list all devices?
[06:40] <doctormo> ubuntu: can you email me your x11 error log? /var/log/X11.log.0
[06:40] <alex-weej> any idea why dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is detecting my card as "Generic Video Card", my monitor as "Generic Monitor" and my AltGr key doesn't do anything (i.e. i can't type accents anymore)
[06:40] <Falstius> seamus7: lshw
[06:40] <doctormo> seamus7: all what devices? usb lsusb, pci lspci
[06:40] <SilentDis> seamus7, you can try lspci, that'll get you a lot of info... what, in particular, are you looking for?
[06:41] <seamus7> pci devices
[06:41] <seamus7> SilentDis: yeah lspci i think is what i'm looking for
[06:41] <SilentDis> seamus7, :)
[06:41] <stepanstas> silentdis:yea, im tired of windows, to many crashes
[06:41] <SilentDis> stepanstas, welcome to a real OS then :)
[06:42] <SilentDis> stepanstas, i made the switch about 6 months ago, and haven't looked back.
[06:42] <stepanstas> silentdis:yea, just a few more things to perfect (mainly more programs, but for internet and office work, top knotch
[06:42] <ubuntu> doctormo: i will send you the Xorg.O.log
[06:42] <pollywog> stepanstas: do you play any Windows games?
[06:42] <stepanstas> pollywog:not on linux
[06:42] <breeder18> I miss gaming :( but at least I haven't crashed once
[06:42] <SilentDis> stepanstas, yep, and you can get most games running with stuff like wine/cedega/crossover
[06:43] <SilentDis> breeder18, what game?
[06:43] <stepanstas> silentdis:is wine the best?
[06:43] <breeder18> battlefield 2142
[06:43] <SilentDis> breeder18, let me check cedega...
[06:43] <seamus7> when I used 'lspci' I get: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies .............  is 01:00.0 the BusId????
[06:43] <pollywog> One of the old games I play would run on Cedega until the version where they got rid of Point2Play, no more after that
[06:43] <breeder18> ok cool
[06:44] <SilentDis> breeder18, not in the list... yet.  check their website:  http://www.transgaming.com/
[06:44] <breeder18> thanks silent
[06:44] <Tiger_ar> Sorry... I've a AMD64 (Athlon X2 3800+) BUT using the versions for AMD64 of Ubuntu/Kubuntu ...my system freeze!!!
[06:44] <ubuntu> doctormo: i sent the log file to you
[06:44] <SilentDis> stepanstas, wine is the 'basic' stuff.  lotsa games that support opengl directly work without issue just using wine.  other games need a DirectX wrapper, such as provided by cedega/crossover
[06:44] <drmemory> jockpot! doctormo:  mucho thanks
[06:45] <Tiger_ar> I've tried options as VGA=771 noacpi etc.... but nothing change
[06:45] <Falstius> seamus7: you might read man lspci for more details on what the output means.
[06:45] <breeder18> I was always under the impression you had to ditch games for linux
[06:45] <seamus7> What does a BusId look like? I'm trying to figure out the BusID for my video card pci device.
[06:45] <stepanstas> silentdis:gotta try them
[06:45] <breeder18> its like getting a hot wife you can have sex with lol
[06:45] <seamus7> Falstius: ok thx
[06:45] <drmemory> now to brave putting Beryl on my desktop machine when I get home tonight
[06:45] <SilentDis> stepanstas, I can confirm that WoW and Starcraft run directly with Wine.  there are native linux clients for Doom3, UT2k4.  Cedega lets you play all the GTA games, etc.
[06:45] <pollywog> breeder18: some Windows games will run on WINE or Cedega and some won't
[06:45] <Tiger_ar> Can ANYBODY help me ?
[06:46] <pollywog> Tiger_ar: just ask your question
[06:47] <SilentDis> stepanstas, breeder18, trust me:  if a game is even semi-popular, there's a 'push' going on to see if it'll work under Linux.  ;)
[06:47] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, How can I use the LIVE CD for AMD64 in my AMD64 X2 without freezing ?
[06:47] <DesertEagle> hello all, is there any way to eliminate a specific dead key?
[06:47] <pollywog> Tiger_ar: I had the same problem even with the 32 bit Live, I think more RAM is the answer
[06:48] <Hoxxin> isnt there a monthly fee for using Cedega?
[06:48] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, after load daemons and see the blue screen of Kubuntu..... freaze!\
[06:48] <DesertEagle> i want to use the tilde for a drop-down terminal emulator, but also need the '+ vowel combo
[06:48] <pollywog> Hoxxin: 5 dollars per month for the prepackaged version
[06:48] <impulse29> does the 6.10 version fix the problem of the kernel panic on powermac g5's?
[06:48] <Hoxxin> pollywog: ok
[06:48] <SilentDis> Hoxxin, yes, $5.  or you can use the SVNs and compile your own for free.
[06:48] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, I've 1Gb of RAM
[06:48] <pollywog> Tiger_ar: same here with Live
[06:49] <theflyingfool> silentdis: with compialing your own cedega, do you lose anything that you get for the 5$ a month
[06:49] <pollywog> I don't know how some people can use LIVE cd's I have never seen one run at a satisfactory speed
[06:49] <stepanstas> Silentdis: more and more people are switching
[06:49] <doctormo> ubuntu: according to your logs, your card has errors loading the ati drivers and it tries to detect the cards supported modes and it fails
[06:49] <SilentDis> theflyingfool, only the ability to 'vote' on which games they'll work on next.
[06:49] <stepanstas> silentdis:ms thought vista would help them, its not
[06:49] <Schminux> Good Evening, all!
[06:50] <stepanstas> silentdis:anyway,ill talk to you later
[06:50] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, 1Gb of RAM is not enought ??
[06:50] <pollywog> yeah you don't get all the dll's
[06:50] <SilentDis> stepanstas, that still remains to be seen.  it is bug #1 after all ;)
[06:50] <ubuntu> doctormo: do i need to use the ati drivers then?
[06:50] <SilentDis> g'night stepanstas
[06:50] <breeder18> anyone know why xorg is crashing when I am filling in the info about my resolutions and stuff?
[06:50] <doctormo> ubuntu: er, your not at thre moment?
[06:50] <pollywog> Tiger_ar:  I am not sure because I have had similar problems even with the 32 bit one
[06:50] <seamus7> How can I figure out the BusId of my video card to use in my Xorg.conf file?
[06:50] <Tiger_ar> So.... no solution ?
[06:51] <pollywog> Tiger_ar you could try the forums
[06:51] <ubuntu> doctormo: not the official ones from the ati website just the ones ubuntu preloads
[06:51] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, I have NO problems with 32-bits
[06:51] <doctormo> ubuntu: then yes, probably.
[06:51] <SilentDis> seamus7, usually, default is fine, unless you've got a pci (not pci-e) vid card, and it's in a different slot than the first pci slot
[06:51] <jisatsu_> if I run a program from the terminal, how do I run it such that it doesn't exit when I close the terminal?
[06:51] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, ok... thanxs
[06:51] <nrdb> Hi, I have just installed phpPgAdmin + lighttpd + php4 + php4-cgi,  when I try to access the phpPgAdmin site I get an error message saying I need to recompile php '--with-pgsql' for it to work, what do I need to do to fix this ?
[06:51] <pollywog> jisatsu_: screen
[06:51] <Schminux> seamus7: will "lspci" give you that assuming it's a pci bus card??
[06:52] <pollywog> jisatsu_: download the screen utility
[06:52] <ubuntu> doctormo: okay then i will try that
[06:52] <jisatsu_> pollywog: ok :) how do I use it?
[06:52] <pollywog> the command screen
[06:52] <DesertEagle> how do i revive a specific dead key?
[06:52] <pollywog> then hit return
[06:52] <seamus7> Schminux: lspci gives me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies ........
[06:52] <SilentDis> ok, it's time for bed for me.  g'night all :)
[06:53] <adub_> what is a good screen shot program for linux
[06:53] <adub_> i mean gnome
[06:53] <DesertEagle> compiz or beryl? :P
[06:53] <Tiger_ar> I thought maybe someone could help me
[06:53] <pollywog> to leave it running in the background  hit ctrl-a and hold down the ctrl and hit D
[06:53] <adub_> i see ksnapshot but that is kde is there anything other than that
[06:53] <SilentDis> DesertEagle, beryl FTW!  lol
[06:53] <Tiger_ar> We are more people that in #ubuntu-es
[06:53] <DesertEagle> i think i read somewhere that beryl -> ATI compiz -> nVidia is that true/
[06:53] <pollywog> when you want to come back to it (resume) the command is 'screen -r'
[06:53] <chinoke> well i found one (http://www.freeantennas.com/PPPoE-Server-HOWTO.html)
[06:53] <pollywog> as the same user that started it
[06:54] <SilentDis> adub_, ubuntu has one built in.  just hit the print screen key :)
[06:54] <pollywog> man screen
[06:54] <nrdb> I also have php4-pgsql installed.
[06:54] <pollywog> the nohup command can also be used
[06:54] <seamus7> Schminux: the BusId in my xorg file is "PCI:1:0:0"  is that equivalent to 01:00.0?
[06:55] <Tiger_ar> ANYBODY can tell me HOW select the kernel using the LIVE CD ??
[06:55] <pollywog> but you cannot return to the command console when using nohup
[06:55] <DesertEagle> soooo, is there any way to eliminate a specific dead key? :D
[06:55] <DesertEagle> like, unmap it from the dead?
[06:55] <pollywog> Tiger_ar IIRC F6 gives you options
[06:56] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, right! a command line... so what must I write down there ?
[06:56] <Madpilot> adub_, for basic screenshots, just hit the Print Screen key
[06:56] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, I'd like to peak another kernel
[06:56] <Sling> can anyone help me with beryl issues, the irc beryl channel is lame.  i pretyt much have a problem where its installed and running but i can't like do anything with it
[06:56] <pollywog> Tiger_ar when the CD starts to play it gives you a chance to select an option, just touch F6
[06:57] <DesertEagle> beryl is fun :D
[06:57] <Dues> i have a question
[06:57] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, yes yes... and then ?
[06:57] <adub_> madpilot how can i save teh images that i print screen
[06:57] <Dues> i'm installing a previous version and
[06:57] <pollywog> then just choose one of the options from the menu
[06:57] <Madpilot> adub_, hit Print Screen, there should be a popup that asks you where to save the image
[06:57] <Dues> when i'm done with the CD part, it loads up the stuff and it says "Preparing for Installation" and i'm stuck there, how do i fix it?
[06:57] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, its a command line! not a menu
[06:58] <breeder18> can anyone tell me why I am continually getting this error when trying to configure Xorg ?   xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has been
[06:58] <breeder18>    customized
[06:58] <breeder18> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[06:58] <breeder18>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070114010120
[06:58] <Dues> and i can boot into other "screens" too like ctrl+alt+f2
[06:58] <rhaebuster> I just installed ubuntu edgy eft on my laptop, got my bcm4318 wireless working with networkmanager, then installed the updates. Now every application I open (even opening home and trash) takes 15-20 seconds. Any ideas?
[06:58] <pollywog> Tiger_ar: I think you have a different CD than what I used
[06:58] <ubnoob> i booted from the livecd of ubuntu, how do i get admin rights?
[06:58] <erikgz> how does one stop dhcp from overwriting resolv.conf periodically
[06:58] <erikgz> ?
[06:59] <Tiger_ar> pollywog, I ve both CD LIVE and ALTERNATE
[06:59] <Tiger_ar> both 4 AMD64
[06:59] <nrdb> rhaebuster: have you checked the cpu load, i.e. with top
[06:59] <rhaebuster> erikgz: chmod 555 resolv.conf
[06:59] <rhaebuster> nrdb: yes
[06:59] <pollywog> oic, I used the Alternate to install Ubuntu because the other CD was too slow
[06:59] <pollywog> it just locked up
[07:00] <DesertEagle> what
[07:00] <rhaebuster> Once the applications boot they run fine
[07:00] <ubnoob> how do i get admin rights in live CD boot?
[07:00] <DesertEagle> *what's the blurriness in beryl supposed to look like?
[07:00] <erikgz> rhaebuster: and dhclient is running as superuser?
[07:00] <nrdb> ubnoob: use 'sudo <comman>'
[07:00] <Tiger_ar> ok.... no help
[07:01] <Tiger_ar> ... I retired
[07:01] <erikgz> rhaebuster: and... i make it executable as well ;) ?
[07:01] <ubnoob> what is <comman>?
[07:01] <rhaebuster> erikgz: Ah I meant 444
 misspelled
[07:01] <DesertEagle> lol
[07:01] <wastrel> also, it means "whatever command you want"
[07:02] <amicrawler> huh  i lost my xorg drivers
[07:02] <amicrawler> how do i get them back t default again
[07:02] <wastrel> just like ls -l <file>   ,  <file> would mean "whatever file you want"
[07:02] <erikgz> rhaebuster: smart.  thanks
[07:02] <Jewfro-Macabbi> anyone know a good newsreader with nzb and ssl support?
[07:02] <ubnoob> i dont know what the admin username/pass is
[07:02] <erikgz> it was the obvious solution ;)
[07:02] <wastrel> ubnoob:  it's your user password
[07:02] <rhaebuster> erikgz: np
[07:02] <Schminux> seamus7:   I don't know if this wil help, but try   http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/05/msg00444.html
[07:03] <amicrawler> hello
[07:03] <ubnoob> its a first time boot, there was no password setup
[07:03] <theflyingfool> should i disable ipv6 if i cant track down a network problem
[07:03] <amicrawler> can any body help me?
[07:03] <ubnoob> im a ubuntu user right now
[07:03] <ubnoob> live CD
[07:03] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, maybe, what's the problem?
[07:03] <amicrawler> i lost my video card
[07:03] <neo911> i have two comps connected behind myrouter connected to the internet.  in one comp i am running apache and i confirmed its okay since when i ype http://127.0.0.1 it displayed the pages.  if the ip of this comp is 192.168.1.1 then i should be able t type http://192.168.1.1 from a browser in the other comp and it will display the pages right? well it doesnt and can anyone help me what could be wrong? thx!
[07:04] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, lost?
[07:04] <amicrawler> i was editing
[07:04] <wastrel> ubnoob:  on the livecd i don't think you need a password
[07:04] <amicrawler> the driver  and reset and now i can't get it back
[07:04] <wastrel> (not sure, never used the livecd myself...)
[07:05] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, you were editing the driver? perhaps you were editing your xconfig file?
[07:05] <ubnoob> waster, i need to change a file to mount drives but it wont let me
[07:05] <impulse29> neo911, the other computer is on the same network right?
[07:05] <Dues> er
[07:05] <Dues> i just got buffer i/o errors
[07:05] <rhaebuster> Ubuntu is using 350MB out of 512MB of my ram, but that should be enough to open applications in under 20 seconds
[07:05] <amicrawler> it was the X11
[07:05] <Dues> :o
[07:05] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, and did you make a backup first?
[07:05] <amicrawler> yep
[07:05] <neo911> impulse29, yes
[07:06] <amicrawler> in X11.config  file or some thing
[07:06] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, then replace it with the backup
[07:06] <amicrawler> the reson i was editing was to get my fps up
[07:06] <Instabin> i have xorg.conf not X11.config
[07:06] <ubnoob> can i mount drives in live CD mode?
[07:07] <h3xis> ubnoob, yes
[07:07] <amicrawler> how do i do that
[07:07] <amicrawler> do i remove the X11 config
[07:08] <Pirate-King> amarok doesn't play mp3's?
[07:08] <ubnoob> h3xis, how, it wont let me change pmount.allow
[07:08] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, use the cp command
[07:08] <h3xis> ubnoob, do it through the terminal
[07:08] <h3xis> ubnoob, what are you trying to mount
[07:09] <ubnoob> hd
[07:09] <amicrawler> i did a cp/ /etc/X11/xorg.cong /etcX11/xorg.conf_backup
[07:09] <h3xis> ubnoob, where is it located
[07:09] <ubnoob> e1
[07:09] <juano> Pirate-King: you probably need mp3 support
[07:09] <aMoRPHeouS> I'm getting errors when I do 'make menu config'. I need to patch my kernel with network drivers
[07:09] <h3xis> ubnoob, what is e1?
[07:09] <Dave_Ubuntu> hi - is there any special requirements with setting up Remote Desktop ? i'm try to access a EDGY box from windows XP with RDC - Remote is turned on in system>prefs - but I get a username and pass request on the xp box - i assumed it would be my user name and pass for logging into ubuntu - but its not - any pointers
[07:09] <aMoRPHeouS> *menuconfig even
[07:09] <juano> Pirate-King: can you listen to mp3 in any other program?
[07:09] <Pirate-King> I try to install nothing happens
[07:09] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, it's make menuconfig
[07:09] <ubnoob> its drive e, partition 1
[07:09] <aMoRPHeouS> that's what I meant
[07:10] <aMoRPHeouS> sorry, tired
[07:10] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, do you have libncurses5-dev installed?
[07:10] <elyon> What is the command to reconfigure the x server again?
[07:10] <Jewfro-Macabbi> unbooob, "sudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow"
[07:10] <aMoRPHeouS> I think so
[07:10] <ubnoob> Jewfro-Macabbi, wont let me save it
[07:10] <aMoRPHeouS> I just installed the gcc libraries
[07:10] <h3xis> elyon, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:10] <amicrawler> bye
[07:10] <elyon> h3xis: Thank you.
[07:10] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, check and see if you have it
[07:10] <aMoRPHeouS> basic-essential
[07:10] <Dave_Ubuntu> hi - is there any special requirements with setting up Remote Desktop ? i'm try to access a EDGY box from windows XP with RDC - Remote is turned on in system>prefs - but I get a username and pass request on the xp box - i assumed it would be my user name and pass for logging into ubuntu - but its not - any pointers

[07:10] <Jewfro-Macabbi> amicrawler, dude, you just replaced your backup
[07:11] <ubnoob> why cant I edit /etc/pmount.allow??
[07:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, you opended this from command line sudo?
[07:11] <aMoRPHeouS> I'd have to boot back into Ubuntu
[07:11] <ubnoob> yes
[07:11] <aMoRPHeouS> and I've had enough for today
[07:11] <juano> Pirate-King: go to synaptic and install xmms with mp3 support, i believe you need libmp3g
[07:11] <juano> Pirate-King: brb
[07:11] <aMoRPHeouS> 12 hours just trying to get network drivers installed :/
[07:11] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, well, i cant imagine why it wouldnt work other than not having libncurses5-dev installed
[07:11] <Pirate-King> ok
[07:12] <neo911> i have two comps connected behind myrouter connected to the internet.  in one comp i am running apache and i confirmed its okay since when i ype http://127.0.0.1 it displayed the pages.  if the ip of this comp is 192.168.1.1 then i should be able t type http://192.168.1.1 from a browser in the other comp and it will display the pages right? well it doesnt and can anyone help me what could be wrong? thx!
[07:12] <aMoRPHeouS> I'll have a look
[07:12] <breeder18> when I use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I go thru all the questions and it just goes back to terminal and gives me some error, any ideas?
[07:12] <alli24> hey guys, i need help with something. I just installed ubuntu and I am running Xchat.  I was wondering if there was any way to change the port of the irc server besides typing /server irc.server.net:6667? thats not working.. any help is appreciated! :)
[07:12] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoon, close it and try it again
[07:13] <Dave_Ubuntu> hi - is there any special requirements with setting up Remote Desktop ? i'm try to access a EDGY box from windows XP with RDC - Remote is turned on in system>prefs - but I get a username and pass request on the xp box - i assumed it would be my user name and pass for logging into ubuntu - but its not - any pointers
[07:13] <ubnoob> gksude or sudo?
[07:13] <ubnoob> gksudo*
[07:13] <xtknight> apparently the x264 decoder isn't multithreaded.  even SVN is not
[07:13] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoon, just sudo
[07:13] <xtknight> any multithreaded linux h.264 decoder?
[07:13] <koregaonpark> Hey. I need some advice. I just upgraded to Edgy from Dapper and my computer is taking about 3 minutes to start up each time!!!!
[07:14] <ubnoob> if just sudo nothing happens
[07:14] <h3xis> koregaonpark, run it without splash and see if youre getting any errors.
[07:14] <Dave_Ubuntu> try a gefrag of the drive koregaonpark
[07:14] <Dave_Ubuntu> defrag*
[07:14] <h3xis> Dave_Ubuntu, you cant defrag ext3
[07:14] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, "sudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow"
[07:14] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu this is a brand new drive
[07:14] <juano> anyone know why my start up script isnt loading?
[07:14] <Schminux> Does anyone know of a good - easy for noobs - HowTo on setting up force Feedback joystick in drake??
[07:14] <juano> i have a sh with +x permissions in /etc/init,d
[07:14] <koregaonpark> h3xis I don't see the splash screen anyway!
[07:15] <juano> when i logout then login it wont run
[07:15] <Dave_Ubuntu> Konnektion, in that case i'm fresh outta ideas
[07:15] <koregaonpark> h3xis, just a flashing text cursor.
[07:15] <Konnektion> lol
[07:15] <Konnektion> wrong person?
[07:15] <h3xis> koregaonpark, then something's borked
[07:15] <CyberCod> anyone have any tips for troubleshooting ati proprietary drivers
[07:15] <h3xis> CyberCod, what's wrong
[07:15] <Dave_Ubuntu> sorry Konnektion
[07:15] <Konnektion> np
[07:15] <koregaonpark> h3xis, no, everything's fine. It's just the start-up time is lengthy.
[07:15] <Dave_Ubuntu> hi - is there any special requirements with setting up Remote Desktop ? i'm try to access a EDGY box from windows XP with RDC - Remote is turned on in system>prefs - but I get a username and pass request on the xp box - i assumed it would be my user name and pass for logging into ubuntu - but its not - any pointers
[07:15] <koregaonpark> h3xis, how do I turn off the splash screen?
[07:16] <CyberCod> i've got it installed, but now my gamma is very high and I cannot get tv-out to work
[07:16] <QuackAttack> I'm having the same problem as CyberCod
[07:16] <h3xis> koregaonpark, i think you remove "splash" from the grub configuration
[07:16] <wastrel> what's gamma
[07:16] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, no. Just turn on  Remote Desktop from preferences.
[07:16] <h3xis> wastrel, the brightness i think
[07:16] <ubnoob> what do i do after i type sudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow?
[07:16] <CyberCod> my screen looks very light, washed out
[07:16] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, I use my Edgy box with RD from my Mac using Chicken of the VNC.
[07:16] <h3xis> CyberCod, in the ati config can you not adjust the gamma?
[07:16] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark,  i did that - and rdp'ed to the IP - and now i get a user and pass request
[07:17] <CyberCod> what is the command for it... i forget
[07:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoon, hit return, file opens, edit as needed, save file, close file. I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do
[07:17] <QuackAttack> aticonfig
[07:17] <Schminux> Dave: I believe RDP is looking for password entered on the desktop you are trying to access.  Not the PW for box ou access it from
[07:17] <QuackAttack> I think
[07:17] <elyon> How do I increase the resolution for my desktop?  Right now, the max listed is 1024x768.  I've already edited my xorg.conf and added the desired resolutions and restarted X, but they're not available.
[07:17] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, did you set the password in remote desktop prefs?
[07:17] <rhaebuster> elyon: I've noticed the same thing
[07:17] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark, how do i do that ? there isnt an option in prefs
[07:17] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, I also access my Ubuntu box from my Windows partition using Tight VNc. Works like a charm.
[07:18] <aMoRPHeouS> h3xis: I have libncurses5 and libncursesw5 but libncurses5-dev
[07:18] <ubnoob> Jewfro-Macabbi, it opens only if I use gksudo, but i cant save to it, because I "dont have persmission"
[07:18] <aMoRPHeouS> *no libncurses5-dev
[07:18] <elyon> rhaebuster: You can't get it fixed either?
[07:18] <aMoRPHeouS> !packages
[07:18] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[07:18] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, of course there is. System > Preferences > Remote Desktop. Then type in a password in the box at the bottom f the window.
[07:18] <rhaebuster> elyon: I haven't tried yet
[07:18] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[07:19] <ubnoob> ubuntu
[07:19] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark,  ahh i see - lets try that
[07:19] <Schminux> seamus7how are you doing on bus id?
[07:19] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, you need libncurses5-dev
[07:19] <rhaebuster> elyon: It takes 20 seconds for me just to open the change resolution dialog
[07:19] <seamus7> how can I find my graphical fps using glxgears?
[07:19] <rhaebuster> elyon: No idea why =(
[07:19] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark, "computer cant connect" same error
[07:19] <neo911> my question is too hard or too noob?
[07:19] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, Okay, cool. If it doesn't work, check out Tight VNC, it works well.
[07:19] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, weird, try a different editor, whatever you have installed, change them command to "sudo kate... ", or "sudo emac..." whatever editor works for ya
[07:19] <aMoRPHeouS> h3xis: is it on the CD?
[07:19] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark, ok cheers
[07:19] <elyon> seamus7: In a console, type glxgears.  Then just watch the output in the console
[07:20] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, im not sure. install it through net?
[07:20] <weiyh> ..
[07:20] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, :-)
[07:20] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, or transfer it through flash drive?
[07:20] <aMoRPHeouS> yeah, flash drive it is
[07:20] <seamus7> elyon: it never gives any output ???
[07:20] <aMoRPHeouS> I'm dong all this just so I can access the net from Ubuntu :P
[07:20] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark, just for reference - i now know the password - but what would the username be ?
[07:20] <elyon> seamus7: Hmm... I've never had this problem before, but it isn't showing it for me either.
[07:21] <seamus7> elyon: the gears pop up and they spin nicely quickly and smoothly ... but no fps info in the console??
[07:21] <seamus7> elyon: oh ok
[07:21] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, Tight VNC doesn't ask for a username.
[07:21] <ubnoob> Jewfro-Macabbi, is it because im on a live CD boot?
[07:21] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark,  ah - ty
[07:21] <koregaonpark> It's the same with Chicken of the VNC on the Mac.
[07:21] <seamus7> Any know where I get fps info after I run glxgears?
[07:21] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, lol, yeah!
[07:21] <elyon> seamus7: Hmm...last time I used glxgears, they spun VERY slowly, but it reported over 500fps... lol
[07:21] <ubnoob> Jewfro-Macabbi, so what do I do?
[07:21] <elyon> How do I increase the resolution for my desktop?  Right now, the max listed is 1024x768.  I've already edited my xorg.conf and added the desired resolutions and restarted X, but they're not available.
[07:21] <rhaebuster> It's not a traditional fps measurement
[07:22] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, what are you trying to do?
[07:22] <h3xis> seamus7, glxgears -v i think
[07:22] <ubnoob> mount drive
[07:22] <computrius> not nessessarily a linux/ubuntu question, well, possibly.. What is the best way to take two dates, and find the number of days between them? Is there a linux api function for this?
[07:22] <aMoRPHeouS> !synaptic libncurses5-dev
[07:22] <ubotu> synaptic: Graphical package manager. In component main, is optional. Version 0.57.11ubuntu12 (edgy), package size 1032 kB, installed size 5420 kB
[07:22] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, these commercial apps from Microsoft and Apple (Remote Desktop / ARD) aren't as good as their Open Source counterparts.
[07:22] <seamus7> h3xis: that's what I thought but it says unknown parameter in the console.
[07:22] <h3xis> seamus7, let me check
[07:23] <aMoRPHeouS> !adept libncurses5-dev
[07:23] <ubotu> adept: package management suite for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1.1ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 11 kB, installed size 40 kB
[07:23] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark, just installed tight VNC - update u in about 30 secs lol
[07:23] <koregaonpark> Does anyone know how I can turn off the splash screen? My start-up time hasa gone from 20 seconnds to 180 seconds after I upgraded to Edgy.
[07:23] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, okay cool.
[07:23] <h3xis> koregaonpark, you remove "splash" from the grub config
[07:23] <ubnoob> do I need to install Ubuntu to HD before I can get admin rights?
[07:24] <h3xis> seamus7, glxgears printfps :)
[07:24] <koregaonpark> Okay, h3xis, thanks. I'll just go look for the grub file.
[07:24] <seamus7> h3xis: great thx
[07:24] <h3xis> seamus7, er glxgears -printfps
[07:24] <Dave_Ubuntu> koregaonpark, if you see this - i'm in! ty!
[07:24] <h3xis> koregaonpark, sudo gedit /boot/grub.menu.lst
[07:24] <aMoRPHeouS> h3xis: do I need any other packages in order to patch my kernel?
[07:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, I'm googling it
[07:24] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, I see it!
[07:24] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, good to hear. See you around. :-)
[07:24] <elyon> seamus7: Just curious... what is your fps?
[07:25] <koregaonpark> Thanks, h3xis!
[07:25] <ubnoob> thanks
[07:25] <h3xis> aMoRPHeouS, i do not think so. i've never patched a kernel before. i just rebuilt them
[07:25] <aMoRPHeouS> ok
[07:25] <arti> Hello all, I just installed ubuntu today - and by the way, Im loving it so far! - and the only problem Im having is of course my wireless card ... is there anyway to fix the wireless card without having to plug in an ethernet cord?  My router is in my garage and its not in a convenient place right now...
[07:25] <aMoRPHeouS> thanks :)
[07:25] <h3xis> elyon, i get around 8500 fps
[07:25] <seamus7> elyon: it says 248.984 fps
[07:25] <elyon> h3xis: Is that with the gears actually showing ON screen? ;)
[07:25] <seamus7> elyon: that seems poor
[07:25] <h3xis> elyon, yes
[07:25] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/05/24/ubuntumount/
[07:25] <koregaonpark> Uhh.... h3xis, my grub file is EMPTY!
[07:25] <elyon> h3xis: Ah..  That's what I get when the gears are minimized ;)
[07:26] <h3xis> elyon, it's 9000 minimized
[07:26] <elyon> seamus7: I'm averaging about 250... and I guess that's good for my card
[07:26] <elyon> How do I increase the resolution for my desktop?  Right now, the max listed is 1024x768.  I've already edited my xorg.conf and added the desired resolutions and restarted X, but they're not available.
[07:26] <h3xis> koregaonpark, did you type it in right?
[07:26] <Schminux> arti: after I installed MadWIFI the only issue that was a problem wasthat I needed to trun on the WEP capabilityof my card...
[07:26] <koregaonpark> Copy-pasted.
[07:26] <h3xis> koregaonpark, sudo /boot/grub/menu.list?
[07:26] <koregaonpark> h3xis, I'll try again.
[07:26] <h3xis> koregaonpark, er sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:26] <chinoke> exit
[07:26] <Sabin> I am trying to set up a wmp54g Linksys wireless card.  I have seen a few reports that this card works out of the box with 6.06.  I have tried to get the card working on 6.10 with very bad results.  Just wondering if and why the rt61 drivers are broken in 6.10.
[07:26] <ubnoob> thanks I'll try it
[07:27] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/64602-accessing-my-hard-drive-view-files-while-running-live-cd.html
[07:27] <koregaonpark> h3xis, it loaded! Editing now.
[07:27] <seamus7> elyon: i'm using an ati radeon x1300 which allows me to play most games and I can get most all of the 3d screen savers in ubuntu ... so i'm surprised a bit that my fps isn't higher but I know ATI cards aren't supported well in Ubuntu
[07:27] <Schminux> arti: if you can see the card in lspci and it shows no packets, that may be your problem too...
[07:27] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ubnoob, maybe one of those will help
[07:27] <Crankymonky> What are some good linux alternatives to apps such as Garageband or HomeStudio, not so interested in intense sound editing but rather mixing, maybe a bit of changing the sound
[07:27] <h3xis> seamus7, i have that same card.
[07:27] <elyon> seamus7: Yeah, I have a Radeon 9600
[07:27] <h3xis> seamus7, you should be getting higher
[07:28] <seamus7> h3xis: oh yeah! I have fglrx
[07:28] <h3xis> seamus7, so do i
[07:28] <seamus7> h3xis: what are you using
[07:28] <koregaonpark> h3xis, I can't find the splash line. What does it look like?
[07:28] <seamus7> h3xis: are you using the newest driver from ATI ... i'm using the repository one
[07:28] <h3xis> koregaonpark, look where the kernel parameters are. it should just say "splash" and you remove it
[07:28] <h3xis> seamus7, well, i'm using whatever is in debian etch's repo
[07:28] <Amadeo> Any way I can get more functionality out of my mouse? Logitech MX518
[07:29] <koregaonpark> "root=UUID=3a7d134a-75ef-4433-a3fa-448f04a25a6d ro quiet splash" (h3xis, should I remove this line?)
[07:29] <Schminux> arti:   for my card I used    sudo iwpriv ath0 authmode 2       it is a TEW-433PI   pci card
[07:29] <h3xis> koregaonpark, just remove the word "splash"
[07:29] <koregaonpark> h3xis, okay cool.
[07:30] <seamus7> h3xis: oh ... i'm on Edgy .. and using fglrx 8.28.8 ... which is the latest stable I guess ... what does it say when you do fglrxinfo in the OpenGl Version String parameter?
[07:30] <h3xis> seamus7, i'm not in debian atm or id check
[07:30] <koregaonpark> h3xis, I removed it. Restarting. Catch you in a minute. Thanks for the help!
[07:30] <seamus7> h3xis: oh ok
[07:30] <arti> schminux, I did a lspci and found I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless Lan Controller (rev 02)
[07:30] <arti> if that means anything
[07:30] <seamus7> h3xis: would you be willing to look at my xorg.conf ?
[07:31] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: working a charm - bit of reconfig on the screen quality and sorted (BTW TIGHT VNC dont like beryl!)
[07:31] <h3xis> seamus7, i'm not sure what to look for XD
[07:31] <seamus7> h3xis: me neither :(
[07:31] <h3xis> seamus7, i havent touched my xorg.conf. debian configured it for me
[07:31] <seamus7> h3xis: what's the amount of video memory on your x1300>?
[07:32] <h3xis> seamus7, it's a mystery. debian says 64mb. slackware said 512mb and windows says 512mb
[07:32] <Schminux>  arti: let me look to see if your card is Atheros chipset same as mine...
[07:32] <seamus7> h3xis: do you know the card's official reported memory that you got with the computer or when you bought it?
[07:32] <h3xis> koregaonpark, work?
[07:33] <koregaonpark> h3xis, yes!!
[07:33] <arti> scminux: k - any sort of help would be much appreciated =] 
[07:33] <seamus7> h3xis: mine is supposed to be 128 but I also get mixed readings ... mostly 64
[07:33] <koregaonpark> h3xis, my start-up time has dropped to 10-15 seconds!
[07:33] <h3xis> seamus7, it said 64mb, but im able to run FEAR and half life 2 on the highest settings at 1024x768 with no lag
[07:33] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: working a charm - bit of reconfig on the screen quality and sorted (BTW TIGHT VNC dont like beryl!)
[07:33] <elyon> One more time in case there are new people here:
[07:33] <koregaonpark> h3xis, what do you think the splash screen was doing?
[07:33] <elyon> How do I increase the resolution for my desktop?  Right now, the max listed is 1024x768.  I've already edited my xorg.conf and added the desired resolutions and restarted X, but they're not available.
[07:33] <seamus7> h3xis: wow
[07:33] <h3xis> koregaonpark, who knows :P
[07:34] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, ah okay, I've never used Beryl. Don't have a good enough graphic card.
[07:34] <koregaonpark> h3xis, as long as it's fixed. :-)
[07:34] <h3xis> koregaonpark, yep
[07:34] <nomasteryoda> koregaonpark, if you have an intel based card, beryl work sweet... slow, but cool to show it will work
[07:34] <h3xis> seamus7, it's the mobility just so you know
[07:34] <koregaonpark> Dave_Ubuntu, glad I was able to help. I'm total n00b when it comes to Linux stuff.
[07:34] <Dues> how do i fixc "Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open 13 permission denied ?
[07:35] <nomasteryoda> i have one with only 8mb ram onboard and it works
[07:35] <koregaonpark> nomasteryoda, I have an Intel card.
[07:35] <koregaonpark> nomasteryoda, how do I install Beryl?
[07:35] <h3xis> Dues, close any other instances of apt or synaptic you may have open
[07:35] <seamus7> h3xis: yeah mine's the ati radeon mobile x1300 ... I wonder if being on 'etch' makes a difference?
[07:35] <nomasteryoda> well, i855 based one is what is in this dell
[07:35] <h3xis> seamus7, no idea :P
[07:35] <Dues> i don't even have X open
[07:35] <nomasteryoda> !beryl
[07:35] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[07:35] <h3xis> seamus7, are you using ati's opengl?
[07:35] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: not as much as a noob as me - first 36 hours (straight lol) so far installed two hard drives - shared it on the network and now this - so thank you!
[07:35] <Dues> i'm in a fullscreen terminal
[07:35] <h3xis> Dues, run 'top' and check to see if you see apt or aptitude running
[07:36] <Schminux> arti:   looks like you use diff chipset... see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom
[07:36] <arrenlex> Dues: or dpkg. Especially dpkg.
[07:36] <seamus7> h3xis: I don't know .... I know I'm using fglrx ... is ati's opengl separate and in the repositories?
[07:36] <h3xis> Dues, the only time ive seen that error is when i have another instance of it running
[07:36] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, wow you're a fast learner. It took me a few days to get my home folder shared on the network. SMB works like a charm.
[07:36] <nomasteryoda> Dues, you can also run "ps ax |grep apt"
[07:36] <Dues> nope
[07:36] <h3xis> seamus7, not sure. let me check and see something
[07:36] <Dues> don't see it
[07:36] <h3xis> Dues, restart?
[07:36] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark:  Google is my friend :P
[07:36] <Dues> will do
[07:36] <nomasteryoda> just remove that lock file
[07:37] <h3xis> yesh ^
[07:37] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, "The Google" is mine.
[07:37] <h3xis> seamus7, do you see the ati control panel thing in the gnome menu?
[07:37] <koregaonpark> nomasteryoda, how do I install Beryl?
[07:37] <nomasteryoda> or rename it ... mv ../lock ../lockold
[07:37] <d03boy> Need a little wifi troubleshooting help. I have ndiswrapper set up and it will not list any networks.
[07:37] <nomasteryoda> ubotu tell koregaonpark about beryl
[07:37] <seamus7> h3xis: no .... I can get a control panel using 'fireglcontrol'
[07:38] <h3xis> seamus7, good enough
[07:38] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: i used automatix to install BERYL -
[07:38] <h3xis> seamus7, i'm not in linux atm but it should say which opengl renderer it's using
[07:38] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, what exactly is automatix?
[07:38] <nomasteryoda> that is not "recommended" but works koregaonpark
[07:38] <h3xis> seamus7, hopefully it says the ati proprietary one
[07:38] <nomasteryoda> script to install stuff for you
[07:38] <koregaonpark> nomasteryoda, oh I see.
[07:38] <nomasteryoda> ya
[07:38] <arti> scminux, i use BCM4318 though ... if you look http://www.tux.org/~peterw/v2000/ it says that my card should work ... or am i wrong?
[07:38] <d03boy> BCM is a mess
[07:38] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: google it - automatix2 is another installer type proggy
[07:38] <Sabin> I'm looking for a little info onthe rt61 chipset on my Linksys wmp54g wireless card.  I have heard reports of this chipset working out of the box in 6.06.  However I can't seem to get this card working in 6.10.  I have tried to use ndiswrapper but it hangs my system.

[07:39] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, okay, I'll do that.
[07:39] <seamus7> h3xis: it says ATI Technologies version 2.0.6011 (8.28.8) ... so I guess I'm using the propietary one yeah .... hmmmm mystery
[07:39] <CyberCod> can anyone help?
[07:39] <nomasteryoda> koregaonpark, you want the aiglx with beryl
[07:39] <h3xis> seamus7, yeah man i dont know, that's weird

[07:39] <arti> schminux, Oh nevermind ... theyre using a different wifi card =[
[07:39] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: dont install the "dodgy" dvd decoders from it - it fouled my system up playing DVDS - but apart from that all the other options worked fine
[07:40] <nomasteryoda> good luck... and have fun
[07:40] <nomasteryoda> zzzzzzzzzz
[07:40] <arti> h3xis, can you point me in the direction on how to get it working?  as of right now I dont have a hard connection to the internet ... i only have the wireless one.
[07:40] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, why didn't you install the recommended DVD decoders? Hang on, I'll get you a link.
[07:40] <seamus7> h3xis: I'm still at about 250.000 fps
[07:40] <Dues> let's see
[07:40] <h3xis> arti, wait...you have wireless working but not wired?
[07:40] <h3xis> seamus7, that is very odd
[07:41] <Dues> fixed it but there's an error when i tried to apt-get install irssi =p
[07:41] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:41] <Dues> where do i find the sources file? lol
[07:41] <h3xis> seamus7, you should at least be running 1500 fps
[07:41] <Dues> or the one with the list of packages
[07:41] <arti> h3xis, no - im on dual boot.. im running windows as of now because of the internet connection.  im trying to get some help, this way i can go onto ubuntu and fix it.
[07:41] <seamus7> h3xis: yeah ... I don't need better graphics specifically ... but you know I gottat figure this out now that you have the same card ... I'm on a core 2 duo ... wonder if that might be a problem in some mysterious way?
[07:41] <Schminux> arti: if you go to system>administration>networking   do you show a wireless device??? mine is called Aath0   (Atheros chipset)...
[07:41] <h3xis> arti, i see. let me look
[07:41] <Amadeo> I'm trying to install an updated version of wine, but it's giving me a gpg key error...the winehq site says nothing about that
[07:41] <CyberCod> is anyone in here successfully using ati proprietary drivers?
[07:42] <h3xis> CyberCod, me
[07:42] <h3xis> CyberCod, but im in debian
[07:42] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark: cheers - I'll take a look see for future - i got it working again by installing a new player via synaptix - XMMS player - working fine again now
[07:42] <h3xis> CyberCod, and seamus7 is...sort of
[07:42] <arti> schminux, when i did, it showed i had one.  but when i tried to enable it off of 'lo' it wouldnt work.
[07:42] <CyberCod> did they give you any trouble when installing? i mean afterward?
[07:42] <h3xis> seamus7, im on just a core duo
[07:42] <koregaonpark> Dave-Ubuntu, cool. Have fun.
[07:42] <Schminux> ooops it's ath0
[07:42] <h3xis> CyberCod, no
[07:42] <CyberCod> grrrr
[07:42] <CyberCod> damna ti
[07:42] <CyberCod> ati
[07:43] <arti> scmminux, erm, when I was looking around, i found that mine was eth1?  when i went to like system > devices and clicked broadcom and hit advanced ...
[07:43] <seamus7> h3xis: hmmm ... but you're also using bleeding edge ubuntu right? that's 'etch' right? I wonder if the fglrx is updated for that?
[07:43] <Dave-Ubuntu> koregaonpark:  oh i am - i think lol - 28 hours straight and i'm nearing chill time -
[07:43] <Dave-Ubuntu> 38*
[07:43] <h3xis> seamus7, nah
[07:43] <h3xis> seamus7, i'm debian. it's diff than ubuntu
[07:43] <CyberCod> its no small wonder that ati is in the middle of the word damnATIon
[07:43] <seamus7> h3xis: oh right .... duh! ...
[07:44] <arrenlex> seamus7: etch = debian. edgy = ubuntu.
[07:44] <seamus7> h3xis: maybe that's it ... ubuntu forums has all sorts of entries about the problems with ati cards
[07:44] <Pie-rate> Please help me with my sound issue. Full details at: http://jon.pmtech.com/~jschall/soundproblem.html (i'm tired of "OMG plug the speak0rz in n00b" so I made a website detailing the problem)
[07:44] <Amadeo> Anyone know why I'm getting a gpg key error from wine.budgetdedicated.com ?
[07:44] <dxdt> Anyone notice that rhythmbox stops playing a song on the radio once it hits the end of the song??  When did this start?  it is annoying as all hell.  Are other people experiencing this at all?
[07:44] <Schminux> ethx is your ehternet WIRED network card...
[07:44] <koregaonpark> DAve-Ubuntu, 28 hours straight? Sheesh! Even my 4-AM bedtime seems normal in comparison.
[07:45] <seamus7> arrenelx: hi .... I thought maybe etch was the upcoming name of the next release ... but that's fawn or something right?
[07:45] <CyberCod> the forums are full of threads on ati cards... as you say... unfortunately so few of them come to a successful close
[07:45] <koregaonpark> BRB
[07:45] <arti> jk then?

[07:47] <CyberCod> this is a computer for my in-laws... i won't be able to tell them to switch somethin in xorg.conf in order to change back and forth... they can barely work the vcr
[07:47] <h3xis> manny, why not?
[07:47] <arrenlex> Then why are you installing Linux for them?
[07:47] <manny> i have a L35
[07:47] <manny> toshiba laptop
[07:47] <arti> schminux & h3xis - thank you for your help.  im going to go try it, then ill be back if it fails >.<
[07:48] <manny> my external speakers work
[07:48] <h3xis> manny, do the speakers work?
[07:48] <manny> but when i plug in headphones ig et no sound
[07:48] <manny> yes they work
[07:48] <h3xis> arti, that *should* work
[07:48] <arti> ty
[07:48] <seamus7> In my xorg.conf file ... what's VideoOverlay and OpenGLOverlay ... the first is on for me and the second is off.
[07:48] <Pie-rate> CyberCod: ATI or nVidia?
[07:48] <CyberCod> arrenlex   because if i set it up for the things they do and then lock down the update manager,... i won't be over there every two weeks removing viruses and spyware
[07:48] <CyberCod> ATI radeon 9250
[07:48] <Schminux> let us know how u do, arti!
[07:48] <h3xis> manny, i fail to see how that's really a problem with linux in general. sounds like a hardware issue. did it work in windows and what about the livecd?
[07:48] <pyrohotdog> How can I set up my webcam to take a photo every time there is a failed attempt to login? Or, unlock the screensaver?
[07:48] <ubuntuNoob> How can I become a super-user while in Live CD mode???
[07:48] <manny> yea
[07:48] <arrenlex> CyberCod: ...good point.
[07:48] <manny> it works in windows
[07:49] <riotkittie> heh
[07:49] <Pie-rate> then get an nvidia card or don't bother with linux in my opinion =/
[07:49] <manny> on the forums others have the same problem
[07:49] <manny> something with alas or something about the sound card driver or something
[07:49] <h3xis> manny, what model?
[07:49] <manny> toshbia L35
[07:49] <CyberCod> i just have to get everything working before i give it back to them
[07:49] <h3xis> manny, let me dig around on google
[07:49] <manny> ok
[07:49] <ubuntuNoob> How can I become a super-user while in Live CD mode?
[07:49] <manny> thanks man
[07:49] <CyberCod> then i take out all the "dangerous" options like gparted and such
[07:50] <noodles12> is ntfs-3g pretty safe to use? i know it's only in beta but has anyone had a problem with its reliability?
[07:50] <h3xis> ubuntuNoob, sudo mkpasswd and set a super user pass then run su and log in
[07:50] <manny> when i used ntfs 3g my computer stopped reading usb so i had to reinstall
[07:51] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, nfts write program?
[07:51] <noodles12> manny: =/... that doesnt' sound promising...
[07:51] <nomasteryoda> ubuntuNoob, you can also just type sudo -s ... it should let you in with the blank password
[07:51] <manny> i know i wont touch that thing again lol
[07:51] <Spee_Der> manny: Using linux version ?
[07:51] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: yea. my backup hd is ntfs =/
[07:51] <manny> edgy at the time
[07:51] <manny> bleh
[07:51] <PORDO> what is a ! in bash?
[07:51] <manny> dapper at the time
[07:51] <Spee_Der> Ok...
[07:51] <manny> now im using edgy
[07:52] <heinous> hi!
[07:52] <tall__1> what is the default root password for a new install?
[07:52] <Spee_Der> manny: Open the sound master control.
[07:52] <manny> how do i do that?
[07:52] <pyrohotdog> Anybody know how to trigger actions when someone types the password wrong...?
[07:52] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, I haven't used that program specifically, but everyone I have used caused problems.
[07:52] <heinous> Any PPC veterans here?
[07:52] <Spee_Der> manny: Do you have in the task bar a icon for volume control ?
[07:52] <Amadeo> this stuff doesn't make sense to me
[07:53] <manny> ok ok
[07:53] <manny> i got it open
[07:53] <Jordan_U> heinous: Yep
[07:53] <Spee_Der> Ok...
[07:53] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: so the safest thing is to just reformat my back-up hd in fat32
[07:53] <manny> devices tab is open
[07:53] <zYe> What does this mean?------- "universe" mirror in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:53] <Spee_Der> manny: Edit preferences and see if the headphone volume control is turned on
[07:53] <arrenlex> !universe | zYe
[07:53] <ubotu> zYe: 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
[07:53] <heinous> Jordan_U: I'm having some trouble booting from install CDs on an Apple MDD Dual 1.25
[07:53] <ablyss> PORDO: it sometimes denotes a negative e.g., if [ ! true ]  is the same is if [ false ] 
[07:53] <WarLord> !proxy
[07:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proxy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:53] <manny> edit preferences?
[07:54] <manny> im in sound preferences
[07:54] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, well, not necessarily, I try to avoid that problem by writing to linux from windows.
[07:54] <houston> has anyone here got an intel 2915 wireless nic to work on their machine???  I am having a heck of a time
[07:54] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, in terms of duplicated/backup files
[07:54] <Jordan_U> heinous: What happens when you try to boot?
[07:54] <Spee_Der> manny: You need to be in volume control.
[07:54] <CyberCod> pyrohotdog  look on the web for using and adjusting gdmsetup... and what all files it entails
[07:54] <manny> how do i get into that?
[07:54] <Spee_Der> manny: This is where the settings are for speakers and such.
[07:54] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, I said that poorly, I just mount my win drive and drag the data over to linux.
[07:54] <houston> my wireless nic is working i believe, but its not connecting after following the majority of howtos for wpa
[07:54] <heinous> Jordan_U: What happens is that when I boot from CD by holding down C or by holding down alt and selecting the CD (which appears with tux on it), I get a bright blue screen which does nothing for up to an hour. Dare I say it, a BSOD??
[07:55] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: o0o0osh. with that fs-driver? i don't like how the file permissions aren't translated. What if i get a virus or i accidentally delete some boot files
[07:55] <ubuntuNoob> nomasteryoda, thanks it worked
[07:55] <manny> hrm
[07:55] <manny> in system
[07:55] <Jordan_U> heinous: Did you let disk utility verify the burn or did you check the md5?
[07:55] <houston> can someone help me out?
[07:55] <manny> preferences and sound
[07:55] <manny> a box opens up
[07:55] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, fs?
[07:56] <dxdt> houston,  I would say screw the howtos if possible and just install network manager.  I remember getting caught up with dumbstuff when doing the wpa_supplicant by hand.  Stuff like it taking the \n and adding it to my password and then bam password would fail.  Etc.  Have you seen network manager?
[07:56] <Jordan_U> !anybody | houston
[07:56] <ubotu> houston: 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?
[07:56] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, fuse?
[07:56] <heinous> Jordan_U no
[07:56] <noodles12> http://fs-driver.org/ so you can mount ext3 in windows.
[07:56] <houston> dxdt I have network manager installed
[07:56] <Schminux> houston, have you tried emporarily changing your access point to an open system... once you confirm that open works (or not) you can focus in...
[07:56] <Spee_Der> manny: I have in my task bar an icon for volume control.
[07:56] <h3xis> houston, try this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156930
[07:56] <Schminux> temporarily
[07:56] <Jordan_U> heinous: Sorry, didn't see your earlier post
[07:56] <manny> yea
[07:56] <manny> i have one too
[07:56] <tall__1> anybody know what is the default root password for a new install?
[07:56] <heinous> Jordan_U: oh, ok.
[07:56] <h3xis> tall__1, there isnt one
[07:56] <dxdt> houston, not just the other network manager that comes preinstalled but the extra cool one, right?
[07:56] <manny> ok i got volume control open
[07:57] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles, is that that IEX something something named program? if so, don't do it, it will bork you linux....
[07:57] <tall__1> but I tried that
[07:57] <riotkittie> the  root  account is locked
[07:57] <tall__1> oh
[07:57] <Spee_Der> manny: When double click that iconit opens a volume control panel for alsa/sound blaster live.
[07:57] <h3xis> tall__1, just reopen it
[07:57] <theflyingfool> my internet connection doesnt work with anything except firefox, and firefox only worked when i disabled ipv6, i have it disabled sys wide and its still dead
[07:57] <riotkittie> use sudo
[07:57] <houston> dxdt i installed the extra cool one, but how do i get it to open?
[07:57] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: what do you do if you need to copy from linux to windows?
[07:57] <tall__1> I tried not entering a password
[07:57] <heinous> Jordan_U: do you think it could be the third party USB2 / Firewire cards I have added? Or perhaps the modified Radeon 9600?

[07:58] <manny> yea
[07:58] <h3xis> tall__1, when you use sudo and it asks for a pass, it is your password
[07:58] <manny> well i dont see sound blaster
[07:58] <manny> i see alsa
[07:58] <Spee_Der> manny: That is where I had to edit preferences for adding the headphones and turn up the volume, otherwise the headphone would not work.
[07:58] <manny> and then realtek oss or osmething
[07:58] <pyrohotdog> CyberCod: Thanks. :)
[07:58] <houston> i think i am about 80% way getting this configured...but having a heck of a time
[07:58] <Pie-rate> I've spent probably 10 hours on this problem. I've exhausted every option i can think of. i'm going to get a windows key from CSUC tomorrow if i can't fix it by then. I never though i'd be reverting to windows because of a fucking SOUND issue, of all things.
[07:58] <riotkittie> alsa is your frind
[07:58] <dxdt> houston, it will produce a tray icon that is clickable and such.  If that tray icon is not there for some reason.  try pressing ALT+F2 and then nm-applet and see if it pops up.
[07:58] <Pie-rate> alsa is a piece of shit
[07:58] <houston> ahh i have used it
[07:58] <h3xis> Pie-rate, what's wrong?
[07:58] <houston> will try again
[07:58] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, I used that program exactly once, when my windows died, and I had to get my backup data of the linux drive, it "fragmented" my linux drive...
[07:58] <Spee_Der> manny: I have alsa and it works great, Works even better with sound blaster live surround sound.
[07:59] <riotkittie> alsa works fine for me :P
[07:59] <h3xis> alsa is god
[07:59] <Pie-rate> h3xis: http://jon.pmtech.com/~jschall/soundproblem.html
[07:59] <darweth> Does anyone know a simple way of enabling ogg theora in mplayer?
[07:59] <theflyingfool> where is a howto on disabling ipv6 with edgy, system wide, i think i did it wrong
[07:59] <Jordan_U> heinous: I would verify the disk to make sure it burned correctly and possibly try the alternate install CD.
[07:59] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: the program i just linked u too? fragmented your linux drive?
[07:59] <houston> dxdt should it give me a wireless choice when i click on it?
[07:59] <bartist> hi
[07:59] <heinous> Jordan_U: ok, thanks
[07:59] <manny> it still doesnt work
[07:59] <houston> right now it just says wired
[07:59] <manny> doesnt say anything about headphones
[07:59] <houston> and no other choices...
[07:59] <bartist> my sound only work when it wants, what can i do?
[08:00] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles12, it caused errors due to the ext2/ext3 issue.
[08:00] <Schminux> pie-rate... try swapping out sound card for a soundblaster card if you have one... pretty mch everyones drivers will see those cards
[08:00] <tall__1> so pretty much the only way to get "root" access is to use the sudo command?
[08:00] <Jordan_U> bartist: Do you use flash 7?
[08:00] <darweth> Ogg Theora videos play fine in Totem, but I get an ogg stream 0 is of an unknown type in MPlayer.  MPlayer is what I use for internet streaming.
[08:00] <dxdt> houston, yes, if you right click,  can you get connection info?  (Should at least have card details)
[08:00] <h3xis> Pie-rate, so is it an intel hda?
[08:00] <tall__1> it puts me in the sudo group and I can do any command with sudo?
[08:00] <Spee_Der> manny: When you right click on the task bar, is there an option to ADD TO PANEL ?
[08:00] <darweth> I am hoping it is just a simple codec install.
[08:00] <Sling> when i try to run startxgl.sh i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1530/ anyone help me?
[08:00] <manny> yea
[08:00] <bartist> Jordan_U not now
[08:00] <houston> dxdt sure but no wireless info
[08:01] <dxdt> tall__1, you can always sudo su  but meh  sudo is fun, different but fun.  You can also reset the password.
[08:01] <dxdt> houston, not even the option to click??
[08:01] <houston> nope
[08:01] <Pie-rate> h3xis: it clearly states on the website i have an nvidia ck804. it worked 3 days ago
[08:01] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: why can't windows just use ext3! lol
[08:01] <theflyingfool> does anyone know where i can find a good how to for disabiling ipv6 system wide with edgy
[08:01] <Pie-rate> schminux: 1. i don't have one, 2. i shouldn't have to, it worked 3 days ago and it works on knoppix.
[08:01] <Spee_Der> manny: Okay. Click on add to panel, the go down to system & hardware and add the volume control to the task bar.
[08:01] <bartist> but like everybody I've used flash
[08:02] <dxdt> houston, when you right click the icon, what are the menu choices that show up?  (Also are you clicking the right icon as I know there were two similar icons for me at one point--the default one and the new one I wanted which was confusing)
[08:02] <manny> ok
[08:02] <manny> added
[08:02] <tall__1> oh, use sudo to reset it?
[08:02] <Sling> when i try to run startxgl.sh i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1530/ anyone help me?
[08:02] <tall__1> hah...duh
[08:02] <houston> menu says:
[08:02] <Spee_Der> manny: Once you have added the volume control to task bar, double click on it.
[08:02] <houston> enable networking
[08:02] <houston> connection information, and about
[08:02] <seamus7> h3xis: you thee?
[08:02] <manny> ok
[08:02] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles, I've not resolved my problem of getting large data from my lin drive to my win drive either. All the current software is buggy. I'm sticking to using rewritable media for now.
[08:02] <h3xis> seamus7, yes
[08:02] <seamus7> h3xis: you there?
[08:02] <bartist> how can i fix my sound?
[08:02] <bartist> please help
[08:02] <noodles12> theflyingfool: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87798&highlight=ipv6    i think it's for dapper but it could be useful

[08:03] <Schminux> Pie-rate:  sometimes it's a missing line in the config that got entered when it was working but not put into config file
[08:03] <Jewfro-Macabbi> noodles, I thought about trying a fat32 partition just for that myself
[08:03] <theflyingfool> noodles12:ill check it out
[08:03] <theflyingfool> thanks
[08:03] <weiyh> why i can
[08:03] <Pie-rate> bartist: its impossible. sound is broken on linux and will never work! muahahahaha you got s3rved by ubunt00
[08:03] <Spee_Der> manny: Once volume control is open, click on edit the preferences and go down the list to add / change the ehadphone settings.
[08:03] <h3xis> Pie-rate, what have you done in the past 3 days
[08:03] <seamus7> h3xis: I just noticed that when I run glxgears that it does say I'm getting over 1200 frames in 5 seconds ... is that what your'e looking at or are you looking at the final number .... the fps?
[08:04] <weiyh> why i can't adjust the brightness or the contrast using 1.2.3,4 with my MPLYER
[08:04] <Pie-rate> h3xis: its all detailed on the website
[08:04] <riotkittie> e GUI mixer, and several other mixer programs.
[08:04] <riotkittie> run "aumix -v 90 -w 90 -W 90 -p 90 -m 70 -g 70 -c 100" at the request of someone on IRC
[08:04] <riotkittie> run "alsaconf"
[08:04] <riotkittie> tried sound in Knopix to rule out a hardware issue. worked fine.
[08:04] <manny> notghing there for headphones
[08:04] <riotkittie> oooooops
[08:04] <riotkittie> sorry
[08:04] <h3xis> seamus7, that's what im getting
[08:04] <riotkittie> stupid gpm :P
[08:04] <manny> just says Master , PCM , and Capture
[08:04] <noodles12> Jewfro-Macabbi: yea i'm thinking abotu that myself
[08:04] <houston> dxdt any idea what i should/can do
[08:04] <riotkittie> ooh brb
[08:05] <Schminux> 1200 in five se3cs should be more that adequate since your eyes can hardly see the diff between 60 and 50 fps
[08:05] <seamus7> h3xis: i'm sorry .... you're looking at the "frames in 5 seconds" number?
[08:05] <houston> supposedly network manager runs great with the type of wifi card thats in thi smachine
[08:05] <h3xis> seamus7, yes
[08:05] <bartist> my sound only works when it wants, what can i do?
[08:05] <seamus7> h3xis: oh ok cool ... then I'm probably doing okay .. as I average 1250
[08:05] <bartist> last time it worked was before X sound server crashed
[08:05] <h3xis> seamus7, yeah that's fine :P
[08:06] <dxdt> houston, what does show up when you right click on the icon.  There will be at least some text that comes up, right?
[08:06] <Spee_Der> manny: That is the best lead I am able to provide for you, look around there and see if you can find the settings for the headphone and make changes accordingly.
[08:06] <seamus7> h3xis: thx for the help
[08:06] <manny> Spee_Der i dont have that setting
[08:06] <Schminux> bartist, sounds like you have a female sound card... don't aggravate it or it will never work
[08:06] <manny> there was posts ont he forum
[08:06] <manny> about it
[08:06] <manny> sometihng about installing some alsa driver
[08:06] <manny> because this laptop doesnt work with headphones
[08:06] <houston> dxdt: yes...enabled networking, connection information, and about
[08:07] <Spee_Der> manny: Ok. That is the best I can do for now..

[08:07] <bartist> i appreciate the humour
[08:07] <bartist> but this sound pb is getting me mad!
[08:07] <Spee_Der> manny: I would try then using synaptic and do a search for alsa and see what is available for the version linux you are employing.
[08:07] <Pie-rate> bartist: welcome to the club
[08:08] <bartist> pie-rate you have sound pb too?
[08:08] <houston> dxdt: I did notice that it forced eth0, and it SHOULD be seeing or using eth1 for the wireless
[08:08] <bartist> under dapper, everything worked fine
[08:08] <bartist> but since edgy, arrggh
[08:08] <dxdt> houston, ok, let's try something interesting
[08:08] <pe3r> how do you upgrade freenas from web gui?
[08:08] <freshburn> i have a fresh isntall of kubuntu edgy, i am trying to install the package gnome-games with Adept i have succesfully updated all 90 packages that were avail to update and now when i request install gnome-games or ANY other package adept replies with "BREAK (install)", any suggestions?
[08:09] <noodles12> hey, what filesystems are usb's formatted in?
[08:09] <darweth> Anyone know how to get Theora playing in Mplayer?
[08:09] <h3xis> Pie-rate, all i can see are bug reports for that chipset
[08:09] <houston> dxdt: could the fact that i messed around with /etc/network/interfaces and wpa_supplicant be effecting it?
[08:09] <dxdt> houston, have you tried commented out eth1 in your /etc/networking/interfaces file?
[08:09] <houston> hehe
[08:09] <houston> no
[08:09] <bartist> i m tired of this ^\\@#
[08:09] <dxdt> houston, try seriously commenting it out (mine is for example)  to let network manager know that it should use that.
[08:09] <bartist> could it work on another distro?
[08:10] <Schminux> bartist, when I was having trouble with my Wireless, I tried Edgy, but went back to dapper and am happier now... only outstandingprob I have now is can't get my sidewinder force feedback js working
[08:10] <dxdt> houston, then I would restart just to make sure everything was cleaned up, you know?  just to make sure interfaces are brought up and down and such.
[08:10] <houston> ok...
[08:10] <houston> and by commenting it out you mean to #
[08:10] <houston> so comment in front of eth1? or eth0?
[08:11] <freshburn> quit
[08:11] <freshburn> ... sorry i was yelling at my pc and it showed up in chan
[08:11] <freshburn> :)
[08:11] <dxdt> houston, yeah, comment out eth1  (which is really wierd since that's the wireless and I know this sounds weird but yeah... let's try it)
[08:11] <bartist> they really messed up with edgy!
[08:11] <houston> k...
[08:11] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:11] <houston> first i am going to change it back to default
[08:11] <houston> reboot
[08:11] <houston> see what happens
[08:11] <houston> than comment it out
[08:12] <houston> and reboot if it didnt work
[08:12] <nukem> hey I'm on ubuntu 5 and I'm trying 2 get networking to work on this old laptop
[08:12] <houston> so stick around.//should take me 5 minutes or so.

[08:13] <Schminux> nukem, card might not be called eth0 what do you get for a plain :ifconfig"??
[08:14] <Schminux> sorry... "ifconfig"
[08:14] <nukem> it lists eth0 and eth1 ive tried both
[08:14] <Spee_Der> When I do ifconfig in terminal window, it returns eth0

[08:19] <athena> hi
[08:19] <Spee_Der> hi
[08:19] <naknomik> Can anybody help me with my boot problem?
[08:19] <noodles12> ubuntunoob: because it's kde and it's more "windows-like" than regular ubuntu is. but it's just preference.
[08:19] <bartist> because I think it has better applications
[08:19] <Schminux> nukem, I think the default install on ubuntu is to use DHCP but is your router or access point set up to broadcast DHCP?
[08:19] <noodles12> bartist: you can install kde applications in gnome. i use amarok and kpowersave regularly
[08:19] <bartist> konqueror, amarok, kontact are very good application

[08:20] <athena> im a n00b
[08:20] <czr> is anyone aware of a command that does: 1) chroot, 2) cwd inside chroot, 3) restores privs (post suid), 4) executes target application within the chroot
[08:21] <athena> okies
[08:21] <ubuntunoob> so i can install kubuntu from the ubuntu live CD?
[08:21] <h3xis> ubuntulog, no.
[08:21] <h3xis> er
[08:21] <h3xis> ubuntunoob, no
[08:21] <ubuntunoob> need a different cd?
[08:21] <h3xis> no
[08:21] <kenthomson> Hello!
[08:22] <h3xis> gnome is fine, ubuntunoob
[08:22] <Spee_Der> athena: Good morning.
[08:22] <czr> you can install ubuntu and later install the kdevelop packages in order to get kde
[08:22] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Does anyone know why I keep getting this error "glibc detected free() invalid next size (fast)"
[08:22] <ubuntunoob> czr, is that the best way to do it?
[08:22] <athena> good morning
[08:22] <czr> ubuntunoob, that will leave you with a system with both gnome and kde though.
[08:22] <noodles12> ubuntunoob: no but you can just install kde after you've installed ubuntu
[08:22] <Spee_Der> athena: Go to the task bar and click on applications.
[08:22] <czr> ubuntulog, scratch kdevelop. kde-desktop :-). or kubuntu-desktop.
[08:22] <Instabin> How can i record a video of my desktop
[08:22] <lunchboxdc> anybody know why banshee's daap plugin fails to start?
[08:22] <kenthomson> Where is the file inittab in Ubuntu? In other distros the file for accessing/changing run levels is located in /etc/inittab, but in Ubuntu i can't find a file of the same name. What is it called and where is it?
[08:22] <Spee_Der> athena: Then click on accessories, then click on terminal.
[08:23] <athena> im in terminal already
[08:23] <noodles12> ubuntunoob: you can look up gnome and kde to see which one you like better. but yes you can install ubuntu and just install the kde stuff later and use both
[08:23] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:23] <czr> kenthomson, /etc/inittab :-)
[08:23] <Schminux> naknomik, when thqt happened to me, I found it wqs a problem with my BIOS settings... I set them back to default values and that cured it
[08:23] <athena> i already found out what version
[08:23] <athena> i am use to gentoo at home
[08:23] <ubuntunoob> cool
[08:23] <athena> and im retarded with ubuntu
[08:23] <makuseru> can anyone help me with beryl? everyone is dead in #beryl
[08:23] <kenthomson> czr, its not there, thats where i looked for it in the first place
[08:23] <kenthomson> czr, in RedHat it is there but not in Ubuntu
[08:23] <theflyingfool> does anyone know if evolution has connection settings stored someplace that can be edited by hand
[08:23] <czr> kenthomson, if it's not there, then something is wrong. it's supposed to be there.
[08:23] <Spee_Der> athena: When the terminal opens, type lsb_release -a
[08:24] <Spee_Der> It may take a moment to gather infos
[08:24] <houston> anyone remember who was just helping me?
[08:24] <houston> hehe
[08:24] <athena> lol
[08:24] <athena> i did already
[08:24] <naknomik> anybody?
[08:24] <athena> i have breezy badger 5.10
[08:24] <ciscosurfer> Hello channel!
[08:24] <kenthomson> czr, alright it's not there, what should i do to re-generate it? Are you sure Ubuntu keeps it there?
[08:24] <nukem> y did ubuntu rename dhcpcd to dhclient?
[08:24] <h3xis> athena, why not dapper or edgy?
[08:24] <cbx33> hi guys trying to do ssh -X and getting the cannot open display message....why?
[08:24] <Silver_Seagull> Can anyone help me with the ATi driver, and what exactly I need to do to get XGL/AiGLX and compiz running?  The documentation out there is so scatterbrained it's driving me up the wall.
[08:25] <nukem> dhcpcd is standard across very distro ive used
[08:25] <athena> h3xis, dapper is a flavor?
[08:25] <nukem> every*
[08:25] <czr> kenthomson, yes I'm sure. it's the place where init will look for it. as long as distro is using init, the file is always at that location.
[08:25] <athena> never heard of it
[08:25] <h3xis> athena, it's a release.
[08:25] <czr> kenthomson, you should first find out what is exactly wrong and why the file is missing.
[08:25] <WarLord> :P
[08:25] <athena> wonderful
[08:25] <athena> lol
[08:26] <h3xis> athena, 5.10 is breezy badger. i cant remember what dapper is and 6.10 is edgy eft, the current release
[08:26] <kenthomson> czr, ok, than i don't have it. Nothing is wrong with my machine, i am new to LInux so there is not much of manual configuration that i have done. SO what should i do to get it? There are no symptons of the missing file visible in my PC, everything runs OK.
[08:26] <athena> hah
[08:26] <czr> h3xis, dapper is lts aka 6.06
[08:26] <athena> i am a noob
[08:26] <h3xis> right
[08:26] <athena> badly
[08:26] <nomin> which is better at recognizing newly installed additional distros, lilo or grub?
[08:26] <h3xis> athena, gentoo > ubuntu ;)
[08:26] <athena> yeay!
[08:26] <athena> i agree
[08:26] <czr> kenthomson, the system won't boot without the file. are you sure you're looking in the right place?
[08:26] <athena> what windows manager do you use
[08:26] <CorpseFeeder> anyone know how to add filetypes to the Firefox's "Download Actions" preferences?
[08:26] <kenthomson> h3xis, /join #gentoo
[08:26] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:26] <makuseru> kubuntu > everything
[08:26] <ciscosurfer> nomin: matter of preference....GRUB is the default
[08:26] <geo> hmm
[08:26] <h3xis> kenthomson, why?
[08:26] <czr> kenthomson, also, describe your system setup a bit.
[08:27] <athena> just wondering
[08:27] <LoginError> hello everyone
[08:27] <kenthomson> czr ken@ken-ubuntu:/etc$ ls | grep inittab
[08:27] <kenthomson> ken@ken-ubuntu:/etc$
[08:27] <houston> dcdt
[08:27] <houston> dxdt u here?
[08:27] <fokuslee> makuseru:  u should check out fluxbuntu
[08:27] <makuseru> what is that
[08:27] <LoginError> i need some help with a filesystem problem
[08:27] <ubuntunoob> ok im trying to install ubuntu to a drive that has data on it. how do i make sure I dont erase any data?
[08:27] <czr> kenthomson, could you pastebin (see topic) ls -la /etc (should be long listing)
[08:27] <fokuslee> makuseru:  itz ubuntu with fluxbox
[08:27] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Can anyone help me fix this error "glibc detected free() invalid next size (fast)"
[08:27] <kenthomson> czr, see? I am using U.6.10. on AMD athlon 2600xp+
[08:28] <czr> kenthomson, also add output of 'df -T' and cat /proc/partitions
[08:28] <nomin> ciscosurfer: I have grub installed already and I'm thinking about adding another distro and am wondering if this grub can easily recognize it.
[08:28] <CorpseFeeder> Anyone know how to add/edit file types in firefox? So I can download files instead of just having their contents displayed...
[08:28] <dxdt> houston, yeah, how'd the reboot and things go?  Comment out the eth1 line?
[08:28] <ciscosurfer> nomin: should have no problems
[08:28] <bartist> my sound only works when it wants, how can i fix it?
[08:28] <makuseru> i dont like fluxbox
[08:28] <theflyingfool> does anyone know why i can connect to sites and stuff via firefox and nothing else
[08:28] <houston> dxdt it worked man...thanks...
[08:28] <nukem> so does anyone use debian anymore?
[08:28] <houston> not the commenting out part
[08:28] <kenthomson> czr, alright i am doing ls 1)-la /etc 2)df -T 3)cat /proc/partitions, anything else?
[08:28] <h3xis> nukem, i use it now
[08:28] <athena> lol
[08:28] <athena> nice
[08:28] <houston> but the network manager
[08:28] <houston> thanks
[08:28] <fokuslee> : ( : P
[08:28] <czr> kenthomson, not at the moment :-)
[08:28] <ciscosurfer> nomin: even if you use LILO, you might have to manually edit your menu.lst file anyhow
[08:29] <nomin> CorpseFeeder: did you try right clicking the file?
[08:29] <bartist> please help
[08:29] <dxdt> houston, seriously?  Awesome.
[08:29] <h3xis> bartist, what chipset
[08:29] <Jordan_U> nomin: Yes, run: sudo update-grub to make grub look for new OS's
[08:29] <czr> kenthomson, it's not a live-cd, right?
[08:29] <ubuntunoob> do i resize partition and use freed space or manually edit partition table?
[08:29] <houston> yep...ive SPENTT ALL DAY working on it...since i thought it SHOUDLVE been tough since my other computer was a bit of a challenge using ndiswrapper
[08:30] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:30] <kenthomson> czr, are you kidding me? :)
[08:30] <nomin> Jordan_U: so grub will automatically search for it and do the configuring automatically so I don't have to do any configuring?
[08:30] <czr> kenthomson, just checking :-)
[08:30] <houston> this is a buddys machine who wanted to switch to linux so i said id help him out
[08:30] <Jordan_U> nomin: Yup :)
[08:30] <CorpseFeeder> nomin: I cannot right click the file as there is no link... the link is a javascript link which launches a page with the file embedded... so it just loads the .run file into the browser window without downloading.
[08:31] <czr> kenthomson, I've made a copy of my 6.10 inittab for you, but I'll check the paste first, maybe it contains something. the file doesn't "just disappear by itself".
[08:31] <CorpseFeeder> nomin: I need to be able to tell firefox to ask me to save the file instead of loading it into a window
[08:31] <kenthomson> czr, ok i am pasting it, but the paste-bin says DONT SPAM ME, I HATE SPAMMERS. Holy Crap!
[08:31] <ubuntunoob> ok im trying to install ubuntu to a drive that has data on it. how do i make sure I dont erase any data?
[08:31] <czr> kenthomson, try this one: http://rafb.net/paste/
[08:32] <nomin> CorpseFeeder: I wouldn't know how to do that.
[08:32] <bartist> h3xis intel AC97
[08:32] <h3xis> bartist, intel hda?
[08:32] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:32] <bartist> intel hda or intel8x0
[08:32] <h3xis> bartist, okay. edgy?
[08:32] <noodles12> ubuntunoob: back up the data because it'll be lost.
[08:32] <bartist> yes
[08:32] <tall__1> so are the apt-get packages for ubuntu the ones on the debian site?
[08:32] <bartist> kubuntu edgy
[08:32] <kenthomson> czr, Have a look! http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1532/
[08:33] <dxdt> houston, keep in mind if the little network manager icon isn't appearing in the top right corner upon startup you could add it to System >> Preferences >> Sessions >> Statup programs
[08:33] <h3xis> bartist, has it recently stopped working or what
[08:33] <kenthomson> czr, I hope my run-levels wouldn't be mesed up by using your custom inittab
[08:33] <houston> it is tho
[08:33] <bartist> h3xis, it stoped worked for a long time
[08:33] <kenthomson> czr, but theoretically the pc shouldn't boot if that file is missing. what's going on?
[08:33] <houston> so I am happy
[08:33] <houston> :)
[08:33] <czr> kenthomson, it's not that custom. I haven't modified it post install :-)
[08:33] <bartist> then i read somewhere
[08:33] <h3xis> bartist, how long ago
[08:33] <kenthomson> czr, ok
[08:33] <kenthomson> czr, how 'bout the second question
[08:33] <h3xis> bartist, did you do anything like upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[08:33] <ubuntunoob> noodles12, can't i just make a new partition?
[08:34] <czr> kenthomson, not even theoretically. maybe you've mounted a wrong etc?
[08:34] <bartist> that i had to purge linux alsa packages, and reinstall them
[08:34] <bartist> then my sound worked again
[08:34] <czr> not even theoretically = it will not boot. init will fail.
[08:34] <bartist> until sound server crashed
[08:34] <kenthomson> czr, i don't have a seperate partition of etc, i have 1)/ and 2)/home, those are the partitions
[08:34] <noodles12> ubuntunoob: yea a new partition. but anytime you try to repartition with data on it there is a chance data will be lost
[08:34] <bartist> then, i ve tried purging and reinstalling those packages
[08:34] <bartist> but nothing
[08:34] <theflyingfool> My evolution and Xchat are both, useless, neither one of them will connect to the internet, in terminal wget doesnt work but apt-get does, does anyone have any ideas
[08:35] <kenthomson> czr, less /etc/inittab, should give some output right?
[08:35] <naknomik> My root partition fails to mount I get resource busy error while booting, what's wrong?
[08:35] <czr> kenthomson, one more thing: cat /proc/mounts
[08:35] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Can anyone help me fix this error "glibc detected free() invalid next size (fast)"
[08:35] <bartist> the last time i had sound was just before the sound server crashed
[08:35] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:35] <theflyingfool> firefox also works fine
[08:35] <noodles12> ubuntunoob: i'm about to resize my partitions and i'm backing up. but my back-up hd is in ntfs >.< blah!
[08:35] <czr> kenthomson, it would, if the file would exist. it doesn't on your /etc. weird.
[08:35] <bartist> any idea h3xis?
[08:35] <LoginError> I have just installed Ubuntu on my laptop alongside windows, and am very pleased sofar, i created a fat32 partition to "share" with windows and mounted it fine, but i cant change the file permissions, it will only let me access it as root
[08:35] <h3xis> bartist, not that i can think of :/ i have intel hda as well and i ran ubuntu for 3 days before i threw it out but i had audio working fine
[08:36] <ubuntunoob> noodles12, so can I go back to windows and create a new partition, and then come back to install it on the one I created?
[08:36] <kenthomson> czr, could you join #kensworld
[08:36] <bartist> h3xis, you have intel ac97?
[08:36] <h3xis> bartist, yes
[08:36] <ubuntunoob> there is no way i can backup 230GB of data
[08:36] <bartist> is it both sound card and modem?
[08:37] <h3xis> bartist, ummmm yes, i think
[08:37] <bartist> so the correct driver should be intel-hda, am i right?
[08:37] <h3xis> yes.
[08:37] <bartist> i'll try to install them manualy
[08:37] <theflyingfool> I am having some serious network issues, should i reinstall edgy? or is there a way to fix it
[08:38] <J-_> !lamp
[08:38] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:38] <bartist> h3xis, you get rid of ubuntu, what r u using now?

[08:38] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.

[08:38] <h3xis> bartist, ive used slackware for a long time, then moved to debian. i bought a new laptop and tried out ubuntu again (first release i used of it was warty warthog) and still hated it so i went back to debian

[08:39] <h3xis> bartist, it's too sugar coated
[08:39] <bartist> I am tired of this sound pb, and I like kde
[08:39] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: in a terminal, can you ping any ip addresses?
[08:39] <bartist> could it be fixed with another distro?
[08:39] <blue_guy> hello every1. I'm having a problem running Blender (3D modeling program) on Dapper. Every time I try to select an object, Blender crashes with all sorts of funny colors. Anybody know anything about it?

[08:40] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: then by ip only
[08:40] <theflyingfool> ciscosurfer: by name no

[08:41] <ttmrichter> I've installed Ubuntu in a 2GB partition once.
[08:41] <ttmrichter> That was Ubuntu Server, to be fair.
[08:41] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: sounds like DNS issues to me
[08:41] <theflyingfool> yup no problem
[08:41] <sarge> huh?
[08:41] <sarge> hi

[08:41] <theflyingfool> ciscosurfer: is there a way to fix my dns
[08:41] <h3xis> bartist, by sugar coated i mean everything is "too easy" and not traditional. everything is automated
[08:42] <blue_guy> Does anybody here use Blender 3D on Dapper?
[08:42] <naknomik> pretty please?
[08:42] <ttmrichter> If you give yourself 5GB you'll be fine.
[08:42] <sarge> Im trying to install Sauerbraten its at www.sauerbraten.org
[08:42] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: first try this:::  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:42] <ubuntunoob> ok
[08:42] <ubuntunoob> thanks
[08:42] <riotkittie> my ubuntu partition's like 3gb. but if you have more space, you might want to add it ;p
[08:42] <naknomik> I just installed ubuntu using netboot with 'server' option. Everything went fine but the server install fails to boot. I complains that it can not mount the root file system.
[08:42] <sarge> i downloaded the linix version but i cant instal the extracted files
[08:42] <ttmrichter> I've got a testbed here where I've been giving 10GB per partition and that's turned out to be massive overkill.
[08:42] <bartist> with ubuntu i've had pb with my nvidia driver, and now, sound
[08:42] <sarge> im totaly lost
[08:42] <sarge> \help
[08:42] <sarge> please
[08:42] <LoginError> does anyone have any idea why i can't change the access permissions of a mounted drive?
[08:42] <bartist> may be i should try opensuse...
[08:42] <bartist> i am very tired of this sound pb!
[08:43] <riotkittie> LoginError: in the drive ntfs?
[08:43] <ubuntunoob> will i be able to use drives of other partitions too?
[08:43] <sarge> Hey guys how do I install this game? www.sauerbraten.org
[08:43] <Schminux> does anyone know if uinput.o is related to or replaces input.o??
[08:43] <h3xis> bartist, opensuse might be for you
[08:43] <theflyingfool> cisocosurfer : ran it now im testing again
[08:43] <riotkittie> try slackware, bartist :D
[08:43] <ciscosurfer> k
[08:43] <h3xis> riotkittie, oh my god dont torture him
[08:43] <CyberCod>  LoginError: if the drive is read only in your fstab file, you won't be able to change anything
[08:43] <h3xis> riotkittie, i had a bitch of a time getting wireless to work in slack
[08:43] <bartist> i'll give it try as soon as i dl it
[08:43] <CyberCod> Heya riotkittie
[08:44] <riotkittie> h3xis: i havent even bothered trying yet on my slackbased distro
[08:44] <LoginError> CyberCod: i think that it should be accessable for all in fstab
[08:44] <riotkittie> hiya CyberCod

[08:44] <ttmrichter> ubuntunoob: I have all my test systems cross-mounting each other like crazy.  No problems.
[08:44] <blue_guy> Does anybody here use Blender 3D? I'm having a problem with it.
[08:44] <ttmrichter> ubuntunoob:  I tend to mount the other test partitions read-only (because I don't want to accidentally change them), but it all looks like one big happy filesystem to me.
[08:44] <concept10> how do I change the sensible-browser?  For some reason it launches this monster called Konqueror
[08:45] <ttmrichter> I tried using Blender a while back.  I gave up after having it crash repeatedly.  :)
[08:45] <riotkittie> ehhh. i need a nice, small distro with a decent package manager and overflowing repos
[08:45] <LoginError> CyberCod: my fstab sais this
[08:45] <LoginError> dev/sda4   /mnt/shared  vfat    defaults,gid=disk,umask=0000     0 0
[08:45] <blue_guy> hmm ttm
[08:45] <theflyingfool> ciscosurfer: some are found fine by name, and i still only have firefox support to the net
[08:45] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: May I point you to Xubuntu?
[08:45] <BFrank> does anyone know why mounting ntfs filesystems manually causes them to be owned by root, and to not allow the root user to chown or chmod on the mounted directory?
[08:45] <CyberCod> Loginerror: it depends, there's a modifier on the entry in fstab that denotes read only or write access... and in order to change permissions, you have to have write access... even root cannot change permissions, though root may have permissions to view that other users do not
[08:45] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: have you tried rebooting?
[08:46] <CyberCod> if you have write access, root should be able to change ownership and permissions
[08:46] <Schminux> h3xis, although the initial setup needed more input on SuSE it sure was stable and easy to work with after that.... especially liked the package installer... but for desktop setup which I will need to do often, I am trying to use ubuntu
[08:46] <BFrank> ntfs is mounted readonly
[08:46] <theflyingfool> multiply times but ill give it another
[08:46] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: uh. no. xubuntu does not qualify as small.
[08:46] <BFrank> when a fs is mounted readonly, how to you override the owner and permissions?
[08:46] <ciscosurfer> k
[08:46] <sarge> Hey guys how do I install this game? www.sauerbraten.org
[08:46] <bartist> i like kubuntu
[08:46] <LoginError> Ya, i have been able to change the permissions of other files using sudo, but not this drive for some reason
[08:46] <bartist> but my {#~{~#~{# sound dont want to work!!
[08:46] <ttmrichter> Then you're pretty much out of luck in the Ubuntu world, riotkittie.
[08:47] <CyberCod> if you go in there in root mode are you able to create a folder?
[08:47] <blue_guy> I guess I'm gonna try uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, I may also have to give up on Blender.
[08:47] <BFrank> no
[08:47] <BFrank> ntfs is mounted read only
[08:47] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: i'm pretty much out of luck everywhere. :P
[08:47] <CyberCod> if you can, you've got write access
[08:47] <sarge> Hey guys how do I install this game? www.sauerbraten.org
[08:47] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: define "small".
[08:47] <LoginError> 1 sec
[08:47] <ttmrichter> (And while you're at it explain why this is desirable.  ;) )
[08:47] <CyberCod> ntfs write support is provided with ntfs-3g
[08:47] <blue_guy> later all, and thanks for the reply ttm
[08:48] <CyberCod> !ntfs
[08:48] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:48] <BFrank> my question is, because ntfs is mounted read only, and is being mounted manually, why don't I have permission to override the owner and the default permissions?
[08:48] <CyberCod> !ntfs-3g
[08:48] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[08:48] <miron> where are totem codecs?
[08:48] <miron> url i mean
[08:48] <sarge> Hey guys how do I install this game? www.sauerbraten.org
[08:48] <BFrank> gstreamer
[08:48] <Madpilot> BFrank, because Linux can't really write safely to NTFS
[08:48] <miron> gstreamer?
[08:48] <BFrank> but the permissions are virtual anyway, aren't they?
[08:48] <ciscosurfer> sarge: checking...
[08:48] <Madpilot> ubotu, codecs | miron
[08:48] <ubotu> miron: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:48] <ttmrichter> sarge: You might find more instructions on that web site than you can find here.
[08:48] <BFrank> so why is it making group and other's permissions -x so that they can't chdir into it?
[08:48] <LoginError> CyberCod: yes i can create a directory as root
[08:49] <theflyingfool> thats odd, its checking my filesystems, and i did a standard reboot
[08:49] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: to paraphrase ...  i cant tell you what small is, but i know it when i see it.  :P  zenwalk is kind of small ...  1.4gb
[08:49] <sarge> Nahh couldent find a thing
[08:49] <sarge> Im new to linux so this is all confusing
[08:49] <miron> cool, thanks
[08:50] <ciscosurfer> sarge: go here and read the docs and wiki (especially the sections called "config" under Docs >>http://www.sauerbraten.org/README.html
[08:51] <kenthomson> I use Azureus, but it behaved like a mad-man, on googling i found that the azureus in ubuntu's 6.10 repos was broken, and shouldn't be used. So i headed over to azureus.sf.net and downloaded a .jar file, but i don't know how to install it. Can someone please help me???
[08:51] <ciscosurfer> sarge: I'm checking it out right now...i'll report back
[08:51] <sarge> ok
[08:51] <Hellevator> What is everyone's opinion of raid 0?  Is it worth the trouble? Is there any real performance gains under Linux?
[08:51] <ttmrichter> sarge: OK, that's a bit of a hurdle.  Basically, though, installing most software isn't that difficult even from source.  Usually it's a "tar x" followed by "make" and "sudo make install".  There may be variations in packages, though.
[08:51] <BFrank> striped probably would be worth the effort
[08:51] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: And what makes small so attractive to you, riotkittie?
[08:52] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: for starters,  i have an 11,2gb hard drive :P
[08:52] <BFrank> ha, if you want small, why not just use damn small linux
[08:52] <sarge> what in gods name dose that mean lol
[08:52] <sarge> Im totaly new to this
[08:52] <ciscosurfer> sarge: gunzip the file (or just right-click and extract it), chmod +x sauerbraten_unix and then ./sauerbraten_unix
[08:52] <riotkittie> BFrank: because damn small is .... well, probably too damn small.
[08:53] <BFrank> ha
[08:53] <sarge> thats all or is there more to it?
[08:53] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: I use 10GB partiitons for my testbed and am wasting over 75% of each partition's space with Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu.
[08:53] <Naik0> Hello ppl
[08:53] <Hellevator> BFrank, what stripe size would be optimal for linux?
[08:53] <theflyingfool> ciscosurfer: it looks like it still hates me
[08:53] <ciscosurfer> hmm...
[08:54] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: My wife uses a 10GB partition for Ubuntu *WITH* extra software installed and hasn't run out of room yet.
[08:54] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: without knowing more, i'd say do a quick backup of your the files you want and the reinstall (sorry, i know that's prob. NOT what you wanted to here...)
[08:54] <PORDO> does anyone know how the heck sound juicer's profile descriptions work?
[08:54] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: im sure that with dapper alone, i'd have no issues
[08:54] <riotkittie> but i am multibooting
[08:54] <fokuslee> riotkittie check out fluxbuntu
[08:54] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: have you thought about upgrading the hard drive then?  :)
[08:54] <BFrank> Hellevator: I guess it depends on the size of the files you will be storing
[08:55] <Madpilot> riotkittie, a harddrive that tiny, and you're multibooting? Wow.
[08:55] <kenthomson> HeloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO! Can someone help me install Azureus*.jar file from azureus .sf.net??????????????
[08:55] <acidnine> can i get some help getting started, cuz i get an i/o problem when trying to install
[08:55] <riotkittie> dapper + zenwalk + 2k ... though 2k is toast as soon as i find the motivation to move partitions
[08:55] <theflyingfool> ciscosurfer: i guess its not to bad because i made a backup earlier today, just because i dont trust the hd in the computer
[08:55] <BFrank> kenthomson: can't you just java -jar Azureus.jar?
[08:55] <Hellevator> bfrank, lets just say for the operating system in general, not taking into account the size of my files
[08:55] <LoginError> CyberCod: any more things i can try?
[08:55] <kenthomson> BFrank, no
[08:55] <ciscosurfer> theflyingfool: okay, then a reinstall shouldn't be that big of a hassle...and you'll be glad after you're done :-)
[08:55] <d03boy> how do I turn on my wifi hardware on my laptop?
[08:56] <ciscosurfer> sarge: okay, are you on Edgy??
[08:56] <BFrank> ahh, Azureus uses swt
[08:56] <BFrank> and eclipse
[08:56] <sarge> what is edgy??
[08:56] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: yeah, i'm going to get a new drive eventually.
[08:56] <Madpilot> sarge, nickname for Ubuntu 6.10
[08:56] <sarge> no im 6.06
[08:56] <theflyingfool> does anyone know if frostwire is in the repos yet, and azuerus
[08:56] <riotkittie> otoh, i should just suck it up and ge a new laptop
[08:56] <kenthomson> BFrank, it says "ken@ken-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ java -jar /home/ken/Desktop/Azureus2.5.0.0.jar.two
[08:56] <kenthomson> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLine
[08:56] <kenthomson> "
[08:57] <ciscosurfer> hmm
[08:57] <BFrank> .two?
[08:57] <fokuslee> riotkitties laptops are always overpriced if u want one u should wait till blackfriday even then itz a reap off
[08:57] <riotkittie> yea, i know, fokuslee
[08:57] <ciscosurfer> sarge: i had a fix if you were on Edgy, but I can't help you if you're on Dapper
[08:57] <ciscosurfer> sorry
[08:57] <d03boy> ya, wait til black friday. its only a year away
[08:57] <noodles12> I can't parititon my back-up hd to fat32 because the limit is only 4gb is that correct?
[08:57] <theflyingfool> damn it i lost my edgy cd...
[08:58] <sarge> so is there anywhere or anyone who can help me?
[08:58] <riotkittie> i wanted to go get one last black friday but my husband is insane :P
[08:58] <ubuntunoob> is ubuntu able to see different partitions on drives or just the physical drives for install?
[08:58] <riotkittie> ubuntunoob: it can see different partitions
[08:58] <kenthomson> BFrank, i just put it that way
[08:58] <ubuntunoob> thanks
[08:58] <fokuslee> riotkittie put him on sofa for a couple of days : )
[08:59] <riotkittie> fokuslee: tempting :P
[08:59] <BFrank> kenthomson: does it work even when you remove the .two at the end?
[08:59] <kenthomson> BFrank, no it doesn;t
[08:59] <kenthomson> BFrank, thats what i tried in the first place
[08:59] <BFrank> hmm
[08:59] <BFrank> what version of java?
[08:59] <BFrank> 1.4.x?
[09:00] <kenthomson> BFrank, the one in edgy's repos
[09:00] <theflyingfool> i guess now i have a good excuse to try another distro lol
[09:00] <kenthomson> BFrank, ken@ken-ubuntu:~$ java -version
[09:00] <kenthomson> java version "1.5.0_08"
[09:00] <kenthomson> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
[09:00] <kenthomson> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
[09:00] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: you don't need a new laptop.  Laptop hard disks can be upgraded.  I upgraded mine from 40GB to 100GB, for instance, at a tiny fraction of the price of a new laptop.
[09:01] <kenthomson> Can anyone help me installing Azureus. PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE
[09:01] <BFrank> I guess Auzureus is missing a dependency of some kind
[09:01] <riotkittie> ttmrichter: i know laptop drives can be upgraded, but i /want/ a new laptop
[09:01] <kenthomson> BFrank, what should id o?
[09:01] <ttmrichter> riotkittie: Well, that's a different story then.  :)
[09:02] <riotkittie> this does everything i need it to, but ooh, an upgrade would be nice.
[09:02] <BFrank> something probably needs to be added to the classpath for auzureus to properly work
[09:03] <kenthomson> BFrank, and what is that?
[09:03] <kenthomson> BFrank, where should i look for it?
[09:03] <kenthomson> BFrank, can you help? or are you guessing
[09:03] <BFrank> Java is telling you it can't find some dependencies
[09:03] <kenthomson> So?
[09:03] <kenthomson> what am i supposed to do?
[09:04] <kenthomson> Why don't you tel me what to do if you know it
[09:04] <weiyh> get trouble via install the nvidia card driver (ubuntu 6.10 / GeForce FX 5700LE ) just (sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx ) , X  walkout , i have to restore the xorg.conf ,does anybody meet the same problem ?
[09:05] <kenthomson> !nvidia | weiyh
[09:05] <ubotu> weiyh: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:05] <bentoh> i received errors 'error 1' and 'error 2' when using 'make' whilst installing gaim beta5, anyone care to enlighten me?
[09:05] <weiyh> yea ,nvidia
[09:05] <bentoh> or is there an easier way to install gaim beta5
[09:05] <kenthomson> weiyh, read that thing?
[09:05] <weiyh> okay
[09:05] <kenthomson> grrr.........
[09:05] <BFrank> according to the faq you need SWT
[09:06] <BFrank> you might want to try reading the damn faq
[09:07] <ciscosurfer> sarge: you there??
[09:07] <ciscosurfer> figured it out
[09:08] <ciscosurfer> ^SaRgE^: same sarge as 10 minutes ago??
[09:08] <ciscosurfer> anyone know if sarge has left the channel??
[09:09] <czr> ciscosurfer, learn how to use your irc-client please.
[09:09] <ciscosurfer> czr: excuse me?
[09:09] <fokuslee> cisocsurfer try type sarg see if tab auto complete his name if not he left
[09:09] <ciscosurfer> czr: very fluent thank you
[09:10] <BFrank> and use whowas to figure out if the user is the same
[09:10] <cherva> can someone explain me the "nice" command because i don't realy understand the help of the program
[09:10] <ciscosurfer> czr: simple questions need not be addressed in that way
[09:10] <fokuslee> czr u can be more constructive by helping him
[09:10] <bentoh> erm, some help in installing gaim beta5?
[09:10] <czr> fokuslee, that seemed to be to most constructive advice wrt long-term :-)
[09:11] <ttmrichter> bentoh: what kind of help?
[09:11] <ciscosurfer> czr: i know how to use irc
[09:11] <czr> ciscosurfer, /whois sarge then
[09:11] <ciscosurfer> czr: it was just a question
[09:11] <BFrank> then you should have been able to do a whowas, and figure out if it was the same person
[09:12] <ciscosurfer> czr: right....but his nick has changed.....so that doesn't work
[09:12] <bentoh> when using ./config and make, have errors about recursive directories. i know its kinda vague, but any ideas?
[09:12] <czr> ciscosurfer, read what bfrank wrote.
[09:12] <arti> can anyone tell me why when i burn something to a disc in windows, when i try and open it in ubuntu it gives me permissions denied(400)?
[09:12] <arti> =\
[09:12] <ttmrichter> bentoh: Usually it means that you're missing a key library.
[09:13] <ttmrichter> bentoh: You have to pore over the ./config output and see what's missing.
[09:13] <ttmrichter> bentoh: Hint: It's usually a -dev package.
[09:13] <bentoh> aight, thx. i'll give it a try
[09:13] <ttmrichter> czr, bfrank: Cut ciscosurfer some slack.  Not everybody can be as perfect an elite as you with IRC commands.
[09:13] <ciscosurfer> czr: this is the #ubuntu channel, right?  not like some other channels where people are disrepectful and unfriendly?
[09:14] <BFrank> I wasn't being unfriendly
[09:14] <BFrank> at least I gave you the commands to help you help yourself
[09:14] <ciscosurfer> ttmrichter: <appreciated>
[09:14] <fokuslee> uhoh round of screwdriver for everyone so we can all be tipsy and happy : )
[09:14] <BFrank> you want unfriendly, head to #freebsd
[09:14] <ciscosurfer> or #debian
[09:14] <bartist> h3xis, i wanted to download suse, but its FIVE cds ... !
[09:14] <ttmrichter> BFrank: sure looked like it from here.
[09:15] <h3xis> bartist, are you sure theyre not extras?
[09:15] <weiyh> /clera
[09:15] <ttmrichter> BFrank: There are friendly ways to provide aid and unfriendly ways. A nd saying "but those guys over there are worse" is quite possibly the lamest defense I've ever seen.
[09:15] <BFrank> helping people to help themselves is not being unfriendly
[09:15] <bartist> extras??
[09:15] <h3xis> bartist, ive never played with suse or know much about it
[09:15] <h3xis> bartist, yeah. debian has 14 CDs. 13 are extras
[09:15] <bartist> i'll check
[09:15] <czr> bartist, it's possible to download the ftp-install cd. the rest of the install will be done over the network.
[09:15] <h3xis> bartist, czr has the right idea
[09:15] <czr> bartist, however, it is very slow.
[09:16] <ciscosurfer> BFrank, czr, ttmrichter: wow guys, didn't mean to start a feud...really didn't...sorry...
[09:16] <BFrank> that wasn't a feud
[09:16] <ttmrichter> ciscosurfer: You started nothing.
[09:16] <BFrank> a feud is which text editor is better than another editor
[09:16] <czr> BFrank :-)
[09:17] <BFrank> or BSD is better than Linux
[09:17] <ttmrichter> ciscosurfer: You just did something in a suboptimal way which two people decided was reason to hound instead of politely help.
[09:17] <BFrank> those are feuds
[09:17] <h3xis> dude
[09:17] <h3xis> vim > emacs
[09:17] <BFrank> muhahaha
[09:17] <bartist> i'd stay with kubuntu if only my XXXX sound would work!
[09:17] <BFrank> won't disagree there
[09:17] <BFrank> :)
[09:17] <h3xis> haha
[09:17] <h3xis> emacs gives me nightmares
[09:17] <fokuslee> haha h3xis thx for dat one
[09:17] <PORDO> bartist not a gnome fan?
[09:18] <ttmrichter> ciscosurfer: Incidentally if you are using GAIM for IRC, it's easy to select an ID from the right, right-click on it and ignore.
[09:18] <arti> h3xis, how come when i burn help files to a cd and try and open them in ubuntu, they give me permission errors? >.<
[09:18] <arti> along with my drivers ...
[09:18] <h3xis> no idea...
[09:18] <arti> wtf.
[09:18] <arti> its not that im using like a dvd-rw is it?
[09:18] <h3xis> i guess because of how the media is mounted
[09:18] <h3xis> just open it with sudo
[09:19] <arti> meaning?
[09:19] <ttmrichter> ciscosurfer: I find liberal application of that capability a good approach for maintaining blood presure levels.
[09:19] <h3xis> sudo /path/to/file/you/wanna/open
[09:19] <BFrank> Did you use mkisofs to burn the cd?
[09:19] <BFrank> and did you use rockridge extensions?
[09:19] <arti> i used infra recorder
[09:19] <arti> if ur talking to me
[09:20] <LoginError> hey CyberCod, i fixed my problem by mounting the disk somewhere else
[09:20] <LoginError> thanks for helping tho
[09:20] <juano> how can i make a script execute on login ? i tried /etc/init.d with +x, doesnt seem to do the trick
[09:20] <czr> juano, by login you mean when certain user logs in? or what?
[09:21] <juano> yes
[09:21] <BFrank> hmm
[09:21] <juano> czr: yes
[09:21] <stefg> juano: after *login* the file .bashrc in your home-dir gets executed... add a call to your script there
[09:21] <czr> juano, call the script (or put the script) into ~/.bash_profile
[09:21] <juano> czr: stefg good thinkin guys, ill try that
[09:21] <czr> stefg, bashrc is also executed whenever bash starts. not just during login.
[09:21] <flo> how can i setup automatic login when my pc starts (i'm prety new to gnome) thx
[09:22] <czr> juano, if you want to force the script to run (so that the user cannot remove his/her ~/.bash_profile, then it's somewhat more difficult)
[09:22] <stefg> flo: to X? or a console login
[09:23] <juano> czr: ah i see
[09:23] <flo> stefg: to x
[09:23] <flo> X :-)
[09:23] <czr> juano, which problem are you trying to solve?
[09:24] <juano> i want to load checkgmail (an app) at startup
[09:24] <czr> juano, that problem is best done with user-specific profiles then (the ~/.bash_profile)
[09:25] <czr> best solved even :-)
[09:25] <stefg> flo: System-Admin-Login ,,, (or rather call gksudo gdmsetup from terminal) there's a tab in the dialog where you can set it
[09:25] <juano> czr: ok
[09:25] <czr> juano, the problem with putting programs in profile is that if they take a long to run, the user cannot do anything during that time. take this into consideration
[09:25] <flo> stefg: thx
[09:26] <juano> czr: oh, didnt know that.. ok i will thanks
[09:26] <juano> czr: maybe best is to add the line in ~/.xsession ?
[09:26] <czr> juano, the login shell will execute the script as it does with any script. so it will wait for all the commands to end before continuing
[09:27] <stefg> or you fork by &
[09:27] <czr> juano, might be. I don't know how the X startup sequence works for desktop users.
[09:27] <juano> czr: ok :) thanks
[09:27] <czr> & will cause problems when the program misbehaves
[09:28] <LinTux> I have just reinstalled and in Sinaptic I no longer have a Amateur Radio category or any Universal etc, anybody any ideas?
[09:28] <noodles12> I want to reformat an external HD using gparted. Can i install it from the repos and do that? or should i run it from the live cd?
[09:28] <stefg> czr: sure.. just depends on what you want to start automatically
[09:28] <Cagarro> I'm using gnome. Instead of firestarter can I install guarddog ?
[09:28] <fokuslee> stefg what is forK? i though & just send it to bg?
[09:28] <xipietotec> LinTux: check your repository list?
[09:28] <anorexicpillow> Sean K is coming back to the air :) http://digg.com/world_news/SKTFM_Back_On_The_Air
[09:28] <VIMmer> hi, i am trying to set up virtual hosts using ports, and when i restart apache, i get the following errorapache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[09:28] <stefg> noodles12: Live CD is probably easier
[09:29] <czr> fokuslee, & will change the foreground job into bg-job. you're correct.
[09:29] <VIMmer> * error:    apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[09:29] <VIMmer> how can i get rid of this error?
[09:29] <fokuslee> czr so fork means that? sorri im nub
[09:29] <noodles12> stefg: thanks
[09:29] <czr> fokuslee, I wouldn't use the term when talking about shells. ask stefg :-)
[09:29] <mneptok> VIMmer: httpd.conf and dns
[09:30] <LinTux> xipietotec: I have m8, have they changed the listings at all
[09:30] <VIMmer> do i hav to use dns mneptok ?
[09:30] <stefg> forking is detacching a process from its parent process... so you can end the parent, but the child stays alive
[09:30] <czr> fokuslee, fork normally means a system call to create a clone of current process
[09:30] <VIMmer> i found this article that explains w/o using DNS: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2003/07/24/vhosts.html?page=last
[09:30] <czr> stefg, that is unrelated to fork actually.
[09:30] <mneptok> VIMmer: /etc/hosts is part of DNS ;)
[09:31] <VIMmer> sorry, i got disconnected mneptok
[09:31] <fokuslee> stefg, czr, i c i c thx guys learning something new everday!
[09:31] <mneptok> VIMmer: /etc/hosts is part of DNS ;)
[09:31] <VIMmer> OK
[09:31] <bluefox83> is there a quick and easy way to set up samba?
[09:31] <xipietotec> LinTux: sounds as if you may not have universe repositories enabled, because I have A. Radio, etc.
[09:31] <czr> fokuslee, install manpages-dev and man 2 fork if you really really really want to know :-)
[09:31] <fokuslee> lol stefg
[09:31] <VIMmer> so there is an error there?
[09:31] <czr> stefg, man bash, /fork -> no matches :-)
[09:31] <mneptok> VIMmer: the problem is in httpd.conf and the name for the web server
[09:32] <czr> stefg, nohup is the shell-builtin which will do detach. & doesn't actually detach -> hence the problems
[09:32] <LinTux> Cheers I will work on it
[09:32] <VIMmer> so how do i solve it mneptok
[09:33] <Cagarro> Is it safe to install guarddog in gnome ?
[09:33] <h3xis> Cagarro, no, it'll assplode
[09:33] <stefg> Cagarro: what's wrong with firestarter?
[09:33] <jengc0il> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1535/
[09:33] <h3xis> Cagarro, as soon as you install it, RUN.
[09:33] <bluefox83> is there a graphical front end for samba?
[09:33] <czr> VIMmer, supply your IP address that clients use to find the webserver in /etc/apache/httpd.conf (search for ServerName)
[09:34] <ciscosurfer> bluefox83: you can use SWAT (runs in a browser)
[09:34] <mneptok> VIMmer: i gave you the information you need. plug the error into Google, and you need to pay attention to what's in httpd.conf and how your machine thinks it is named.
[09:34] <h3xis> bluefox83, i cant remember, but SWAT is fine
[09:34] <bartist> what do you know about 'x sound server'?
[09:34] <stefg> bluefox83: yes, right infrinto of you... it's called gnome-system tools and nautilus
[09:34] <czr> VIMmer, or edit all clients' /etc/hosts to have a static name->IP mapping. longer way though.
[09:34] <stefg> *in front
[09:34] <bartist> is MEPIS a good distro?
[09:34] <VIMmer> i am on a stand alone machine
[09:34] <xipietotec> !good
[09:34] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[09:34] <h3xis> bartist, it's debian based so i'm sure it's fine
[09:34] <h3xis> bartist, avoid fedora like the plague
[09:35] <czr> VIMmer, then use 127.0.0.1 as the IP for your ServerName in apache config.
[09:35] <Cagarro> :) I was using KDE but, since I'm using now gnome... just asking.  I'm only familiar with guarddog
[09:35] <bartist> why fedora?
[09:35] <czr> VIMmer, or 'localhost' (same thing in this case)
[09:35] <stefg> !firestarter
[09:35] <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).
[09:35] <h3xis> bartist, personal vendetta
[09:35] <bartist> LOL
[09:35] <h3xis> i was a die hard redhat user for years
[09:35] <bluefox83> where the heck is gnome-system-tools? i have gnome control center, but don't see system tools O.o
[09:35] <heinous> Anyone wanna help me with my Airport Extreme card in Edgy? It's a BCM4306
[09:36] <stefg> bluefox83: gnome-system-tools is the name of the package... the actual apps are in your system menu

[09:43] <fedor> !beryl
[09:43] <stefg> noodles12: common sense: having backups helps peace of mind. gParted is good in some cases and bad in others... get an insurance against human error by backing up

[09:44] <noodles12> stefg: I did backup, but i was just curious as to the chances of losing data. Is it 50/50 or is it like a small chance it is lost. ( i did backup, this is for knowledge sake)
[09:45] <grzesiek> hi, i have little question, what is good nvidia drivers for geforce 2?

[09:52] <xipietotec> it appears for some versions of the AE, there's allready native kernel support

[10:05] <heinous> anyone know the status of the bcm43xx project? the site appears to be down
[10:05] <MindFreek> I have googled it, and come up short.
[10:05] <shack> does ices2 work with shoutcast?
[10:06] <trelayne> ok I think I know what is going on. I noticed that my system is saying that there were errors on my root partition.. so it remounted read-only
[10:06] <riotkittie> ahhh
[10:06] <czr> trelayne, boot the system with a live-cd, dig out your backups (just in case), run fsck -f on your partition where your root filesystem is and cross fingers. if fingers don't help, restore from backups.
[10:06] <Diaruemnus> I have a question about a Rage 128 PRO, as it seems to scatter pixels in certain places when OpenGL renders in ubuntu, is this a driver or hardware problem?
[10:07] <stefg> MindFreek: try ##gnome ?
[10:07] <MindFreek> I havent yet, but I will.
[10:07] <trelayne> thing is, I have a boot DVD (or even a DVD player).. anyone know of any way to get a live CD for ubuntu?
[10:07] <Diaruemnus> the iso is a live disc
[10:07] <Diaruemnus> or you don't have a way to download it?
[10:07] <stefg> !shipit | trelayne
[10:07] <ubotu> trelayne: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will not send Edgy (6.10) CDs, but only Dapper (6.06) CDs, as Dapper is a !LTS release.
[10:07] <trelayne> I mean I have a DVD boot disk but only a regular CD drive
[10:08] <DARKGuy> Is there a way to test stuff like vga=791 without restarting the comp ?
[10:08] <stefg> no
[10:08] <trelayne> ok well thanks anyway all.. :-(
[10:08] <DARKGuy> damn x(
[10:08] <stefg> DARKGuy: the framebuffer gets initialized at boot..
[10:08] <trelayne> of all times... I have a major thing happening on national radio I have to set up a website for and this will make it a little bit more difficult
[10:08] <czr> DARKGuy, vga= is special as it is handled in the early kernel process (in 16-bit realmode)
[10:09] <czr> DARKGuy, so it will require rebooting
[10:09] <trelayne> anyway.. thanks ...
[10:10] <DARKGuy> czr: Okay, so is there a way I can test framebuffer modes (I've played with Splashy before, and Links2) and know what resolution I'm seeing for applying it in the vga line ?
[10:10] <Diaruemnus> sorry to repeat myself, but is anyone familiar of any ATI Rage Pro driver bugs for Linux?
[10:10] <Diaruemnus> ubuntu seemed to automatically install a driver for it
[10:10] <blade> Does anyone have a sec to help me out? I'm new to Linux... >_<
[10:10] <DARKGuy> !anyone | blade
[10:10] <ubotu> blade: 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?
[10:10] <Frem> Diaruemnus, ATi drivers have lots of bugs. ;-)
[10:11] <Diaruemnus> I heard about that
[10:11] <Diaruemnus> lol
[10:11] <stefg> DARKGuy: http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
[10:11] <blade> Heh. Well, I'm just wondering if I can use a thumbdrive instead of a CD to boot up Ubuntu on my computer..
[10:11] <czr> DARKGuy, you might try fbset, but it's been years since I used it. maybe it's obsolete
[10:11] <Diaruemnus> if your BIOS supports booting from USB it should, blade
[10:11] <heinous> Does anybody ask their next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:11] <Diaruemnus> I use Backtrack on a 1 GB flash drive
[10:11] <DARKGuy> ah, interesting link stefg, thanks
[10:11] <DARKGuy> czr: oh, cool, I shall look that up then, thanks too
[10:12] <Frem> Diaruemnus, Did you have a particular bug in mind?
[10:12] <thinkpad> I do have a question
[10:12] <czr> DARKGuy, if you're using vesafb, then the mode cannot be changed after kernel boots
[10:12] <czr> DARKGuy, fbset will work only for other fbdev-drivers (most of them).
[10:12] <blade> Alright, awesome.. Should I mount/extract the .iso file before copying it to my thumbdrive?
[10:12] <Diaruemnus> well, it seems to scatter pixels when anything renders in OpenGL, and certain objects are drawn incorrectly, although those could be OpenGL calls that were created after the card was made
[10:13] <seshomaru> hi - can anyone tell me how to add the edgy CD to the sources list?
[10:13] <hyper_ch> hi there, anyone proficient with "Lookup" in OOo Calc?
[10:13] <DARKGuy> czr: I have an nVIDIA and Trident card both using the nvidia and trident driver, is vesafb separated from it? if not then I guess the mode can be changed after the kernel boots? or fbset would be able to work *shrug*
[10:14] <thinkpad> I am on an old thinkpad laptop, and my eth0 loses its config info everytime I reboot
[10:14] <Zaggynl> Hi, I'm trying to follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158&highlight=kernel+thread
[10:14] <Frem> Diaruemnus, Ah. Not sure if I can help you there... My Xpress 200m card has a firmware bug which offloads certain OpenGL calls to the CPU, making it impossible for me to play many OpenGL games, in windows or linux.
[10:14] <dodo_> hi all
[10:14] <czr> DARKGuy, it would depend on your kernel configuration really. I have no idea. lsmod to see which drivers are used
[10:14] <Anudhyan> oh could anyone tell me about a website developer software like dreamweaver that runs in linux ?
[10:14] <dodo_> plz i need help when i have update
[10:14] <Zaggynl> When I try to install this, I get the following error: liblcms1-dev: \n Depends: liblcms1 (=1.13-1) but 1.15-1 is to be installed
[10:14] <DARKGuy> Anudhyan: SCREEM and Nvu
[10:14] <Zaggynl> What does that mean?
[10:15] <Anudhyan> ok thanks DARKGuy.
[10:15] <dodo_> i reseved this error  MSG E: /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 10
[10:15] <DARKGuy> Anudhyan: welcome :)
[10:15] <Frem> Diaruemnus, I'd suggest trying out the latest driver from ATi's website, if you can get it to work. There have been several handy posts about doing so on ubuntuforums.
[10:15] <Anudhyan> Do they have windows binaries as well ?
[10:15] <DARKGuy> czr: lsmod | grep 'fb' returns vesafb and fbcon xD; I guess it can't be changed after the kernel boots D:
[10:15] <n0cturnal_> is there any way to enable XDMCP from the command line?
[10:15] <DARKGuy> Anudhyan: no idea o.o;
[10:16] <Diaruemnus> what driver does Ubuntu Edgy carry with it?
[10:16] <Anudhyan> DARKGuy: ok.
[10:16] <blade> Sorry to repeat myself, but will I need to extract or mount the .iso file before I copy it to my thumbdrive?
[10:16] <czr> DARKGuy, indeed. fbcon = implements terminal operations using fbdev. so basically the functionality you use to use VTs with fbdevs.
[10:16] <stefg> DARKGuy: it's explictly said in the howto i gave you that it's not possible to change the fb after boot
[10:16] <Diaruemnus> well, you'll need the boot sector blade
[10:16] <Diaruemnus> it won't be visible as a file will it?
[10:17] <dodo_> hye guys plz can anyone help me in this problem E: /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 10
[10:17] <seshomaru> hi - can anyone tell me how to add the edgy CD to the sources list?
[10:17] <bartist> i give up
[10:17] <bartist> bye bye kubuntu
[10:17] <bartist> hello mepi
[10:17] <ttmrichter> In case this comes up again, it seems that security.ubuntu.com is mirrored by country into <country>.archives.ubuntu.com.
[10:17] <blade> Diaruemnus I have no idea. I'm downloading Ubuntu 6.06 Desktop i386 right now..
[10:17] <ttmrichter> So for China it's cn.archive.ubuntu.com, for Canada it's presumably ca.archive.ubuntu.com etc.
[10:17] <Frem> Diaruemnus, not sure. Does the command fglrxinfo give you anything?
[10:17] <DARKGuy> czr, stefg: I see :( oh well, I'm gonna get ready for a few reboots then, but thanks for the help! :D
[10:18] <czr> ttmrichter, did you do a nslookup to see whether they're really mirrored or not?
[10:18] <czr> DARKGuy, if you do a lot of fbdev-testing/development, I'd recommend using some virtualization environment. personally I like vmware but there are others.
[10:18] <Diaruemnus> that command doesn't seem to be found, Frem
[10:19] <dodo_> guys plz help me
[10:19] <dodo_> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu1_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 10
[10:19] <Frem> Diaruemnus, look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It should have your driver in there, under Section "Device"
[10:20] <DARKGuy> czr: Ah yes, I could imagine vmware could do stuff like that, but i'm just wanting to have a framebuffer console (with a background if possible) rather than just a plain DOS-like terminal :P
[10:20] <dodo_> how i can stop updating updating any package
[10:20] <blade> Well, if I ever figure out how to get Ubuntu onto my computer, will I be able to access my external HD when I'm using Ubuntu? Sorry for all the noobish questions..
[10:21] <ttmrichter> blade: I have four external drives hanging off my laptop and two off my testbed.
[10:21] <bentoh> 0.0
[10:21] <ttmrichter> blade: So it's definitely possible.
[10:21] <blade> O.O
[10:21] <blade> Well then. That's good =p
[10:21] <Frem> Diaruemnus, if you haven't done anything with your graphics card drivers, I suspect it might be running the open source drivers, which can be glitchy, especially for 3d.
[10:21] <ttmrichter> Why the surprise?  100GB isn't enough.
[10:21] <czr> DARKGuy, it's not DOS-like :-). DOS consoles are unix-like :-). but yeah, I see what you mean :-)
[10:21] <ttmrichter> I need *LOTS* of HD space. : D
[10:22] <blade> I've only got a 40GB in my laptop... I just got a 320GB external for christmas ^_^
[10:22] <Diaruemnus> ah, I didn't know the open source drivers could render 3D
[10:22] <DARKGuy> czr: Haha, actually you're right XD
[10:22] <alok> hi i am using ubuntu 6.06 . iam new user .i hav problm whn i open "www.webdunia.com"its a hindi portal but firefox didnt shows content in hindi?
[10:22] <Diaruemnus> you should be able to get a language pack as an extension
[10:22] <Diaruemnus> https://addons.firefox.com
[10:22] <stefg> czr: funny how perception changes over the years, isn't it?
[10:23] <ttmrichter> blade: 100GB in laptop, 250GB external (music, movies and backup), 80GB external (mirroring dapper and edgy repos), 40GB (GNU mirror), 80GB (assorted other mirrors, mostly programming languages), etc. etc. etc.
[10:23] <alok> ok i try
[10:23] <DARKGuy> Holy cow
[10:23] <Frem> Diaruemnus, I don't know.. I've heard rumors of an open source radeon driver that does. I do know the normal ati one can do some crazy stuff at high resolutions, including splitting the screen in half and displaying random pixels on screen, kinda like you were describing.
[10:23] <blade> ttmrichter Lucky, lucky, lucky O_o
[10:23] <ttmrichter> blade: No luck.  Just poverty between paycheques.  ;)
[10:24] <blade> Hehe.
[10:24] <stefg> ttmrichter: and then you nned backups or a raid 1... so hurry for another set of drives :-)
[10:24] <Frem> Diaruemnus, I think you should be using the fglrx driver, but you might want to check ATi
[10:24] <Frem> *'ATi's website to confirm that.
[10:24] <czr> stefg, indeed. I started with DOS2 myself. didn't really use unix until somewhere round 94 or so "what is this crap, a dos-clone?" :-)
[10:24] <ttmrichter> stefg: :-)
[10:24] <blade> Well, the ISO just finished downloading, now I've got to figure out how the hell to boot it up on my computer without a CD >_<
[10:25] <ttmrichter> stefg: My movies and music I have long-term backed-up to DVD.
[10:25] <ttmrichter> stefg: The 250GB is my laptop backup mostly right now.
[10:25] <dodo_> hello all
[10:25] <dodo_> i have a qwes
[10:26] <czr> there's never enough storage. never was, never will be :-)
[10:26] <Frem> blade, You can try mounting the ISO and chrooting into it or something, i'd assume. I've never tried it.
[10:26] <heinous> Well, I've discovered that my Airport Extreme revision isn't supported by the bcm43xx project, which apparently no longer exists either. Can someone recommend a PCI card for my powerbook G4?
[10:26] <heinous> *wifi card, that is
[10:26] <Ayabara> I'm gonna run xp/ubuntu dual boot, and I'm wondering if I should use ext3 or fat32 for my shared partition. I'm aware that ext3 is better, but I want it to work as good as possible with both os'es. With the ext3 fs-driver for windows I think I've had trouble with nordic letters in filenames earlier. Any advice guys?
[10:26] <klauss> moin allerseits
[10:26] <blade> Eh, well.. theoretically, wouldn't you just be putting the ISO file onto the CD anyways?
[10:27] <ttmrichter> Oh well.
[10:27] <klauss> ich hab ein kleineres Problem mit Tabellen
[10:27] <dodo_> now if i have a problem with updating any package how i can cansel this updating

[10:27] <ttmrichter> The cn.archive.ubuntu.com site doesn't have the security updates up-to-date yet.  Damn!
[10:27] <Frem> Ayabara, Go fat32. Worst that will happen is that you'll need to defrag it every now and then.
[10:27] <klauss> thnx
[10:28] <Diaruemnus> ok, I'm trying the Wireless USB instructions, and I've received errors on the build of the files
[10:28] <Diaruemnus> the tutorial assumes there were none, and I'm lost
[10:28] <Frem> what are the errors?
[10:28] <Ayabara> Frem: thanks
[10:29] <Frem> Ayabara, well, you kinda answered your own question while asking it. ;-)
[10:29] <wick2o> what a tutorial that assumes no errors? that would never happen with a linux tut :)
[10:29] <seshomaru> anyone knows how to add edgy Cd to sources list?
[10:29] <Diaruemnus> or maybe only one error...
[10:29] <wick2o> sesshomary: edit /etc/apt/source.list
[10:30] <wick2o> copy the source line and rename whatever your currently using to edgy?
[10:30] <Ayabara> Frem: hehe. need to start trusting my own advice :-)
[10:30] <seshomaru> wick2o: thats not what i mean
[10:30] <seshomaru> wick2o: i mean what line should i add?
[10:31] <Diaruemnus> it might be "No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop
[10:31] <wick2o> copy the current line for cdrom at the top of the list
[10:31] <Diaruemnus> is that it?
[10:31] <wick2o> and rename dapper (if your using dapper) with edgy
[10:31] <seshomaru> wick2o: i dont have that line-can you tell me whats your
[10:31] <stefg> seshomaru: pop it in the drive, if you're lucky the wizard will do everything for you
[10:31] <xipietotec> czr: an option for uploading encrypted backups is to use a hosting site with unlimited filesize/bandwidth.
[10:32] <wick2o> seshomaru: sorry im not logged into my linux box, im sure you can find it at ubuntuforums.org
[10:32] <czr> xipietotec, the encryption is necessary because I don't trust the people who run the sites.
[10:32] <Frem> Diaruemnus, can't see your output, so i don't know. looks like it. it's usually the last line or so before it quits.
[10:33] <czr> xipietotec, https is to protect the username/password to the site. dav is for transferring/removing files
[10:33] <czr> xipietotec, also scp/sftp would be ok in my case.
[10:33] <seshomaru> stefg it worked thanks
[10:33] <xipietotec> czr: I think there's a hosting site (I'm trying to find it) that at least has https (password locked access) and unlimited uploads/downloads/filesize, works like a file-dump
[10:34] <Diaruemnus> well, I just noticed that I skipped a step
[10:34] <Diaruemnus> but I don't understand something
[10:34] <Diaruemnus> user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[10:34] <Diaruemnus> what's the uname -r?
[10:34] <stefg> seshomaru: :-9 you see... sometimes even ubuntu-devs can be quite smart by foreseeing such situations :-)
[10:34] <czr> xipietotec, as long as it doesn't require a browser and mime-munging the data :-) (so that it can be automated)
[10:34] <Frem> uname -r outputs your kernel version
[10:34] <Diaruemnus> do I type it as is?
[10:35] <Diaruemnus> that whole line?
[10:35] <Frem> so that command gets the header files for your kernel
[10:35] <Frem> yep
[10:35] <czr> Diaruemnus, yes. note the backticks (not ordinary quotes)
[10:35] <Diaruemnus> it didn't work...
[10:35] <Frem> actually, you can just selet it to copy and middle click to paste.
[10:36] <Diaruemnus> it said that it couldn't find the package name uname -r
[10:36] <Ayabara> is 8gb for / , 1gb for swap (1gb ram) and 3gb for /home ok if I store all my media files on a /storage partition? how big is a full ubuntu install with all packages at the moment?
[10:36] <Frem> Diaruemnus, you didn't type it right
[10:36] <stefg> Diaruemnus: note `uname -r` isn't uname -r
[10:37] <seshomaru> can anyone copy their edgy CD line from their sources.list - i need it.thanks
[10:37] <Frem> Diaruemnus, just select the commnd on the page, then click the scroll wheel to paste it into the terminal.
[10:37] <stefg> !easysource | seshomaru
[10:37] <ubotu> seshomaru: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:38] <Diaruemnus> I included that single quites though...
[10:38] <Diaruemnus> *quotes
[10:38] <Frem> single quotes or backticks?
[10:38] <czr> Diaruemnus, what does this do on your system: echo `uname -r` ?
[10:39] <stefg> BACKTICKS......
[10:39] <stefg> sorry for speaking that loud
[10:39] <Diaruemnus> oh
[10:40] <stefg> rather use $(uname -r) if backticks are difficult
[10:40] <Diaruemnus> excuse my ignorance
[10:40] <Diaruemnus> I'm still extremely new to this

[10:42] <Diaruemnus> thanks everyone, for trying to walk me through this, though
[10:42] <xipietotec> czr: this one you might like: 1gig maximum file size though =/ but it has an ftp client http://www.files-upload.com/
[10:42] <voltagex> ok, I'll have to do that later.
[10:43] <czr> xipietotec, ftp transmits user/pass in plaintext = not good.
[10:43] <czr> xipietotec, also the gigabyte limit is way too small. I don't mind even paying for the service really.
[10:44] <seshomaru> stefg source-o-matic doesnt work for me ,it keeps sending back and forth , can you just give me that one line ? the one that sets the install Cd as a repository?

[10:52] <Suavsilk> so whats the problem?
[10:52] <diaruemnus_> ok, are you there voltagex?
[10:52] <xipietotec> czr: this site supports everything you wanted, but it's a wee bit pricey http://www.filesanywhere.com/PowerPlanPricing.htm
[10:52] <Asc> no, but it looks like a kind of live cd ?
[10:52] <Suavsilk> oh
[10:53] <czr> stefg, sry for that :--)
[10:53] <Suavsilk> on the desktop, there will be an icon "install"
[10:53] <Asc> yes it is
[10:53] <czr> stefg, most of my project have to do with high-perf sw and storage :-)
[10:53] <Suavsilk> you can run linux live, or install
[10:53] <czr> projects even.
[10:53] <Suavsilk> run install to install to hdd
[10:53] <Asc> ok, how
[10:53] <Suavsilk> double click the icon
[10:53] <Asc> oki, thanx trying now
[10:53] <Suavsilk> labled "install"
[10:53] <Suavsilk> ok
[10:53] <czr> xipietotec, pricey indeed :-)
[10:53] <weiyan_> anybody here ?
[10:53] <weiyan_> ?
[10:53] <Suavsilk> can someone help me
[10:54] <Suavsilk> i need to put files onto a portable hdd
[10:54] <Suavsilk> but it says its a read only disk
[10:54] <netfaith> hi I'm new to ubuntu but you'll get there in the end
[10:54] <Suavsilk> i cant change the rights on the portable hdd, when i try to it says the same thing
[10:54] <diaruemnus_> are you there voltagex?
[10:55] <voltagex> diaruemnus_: yep
[10:55] <diaruemnus_> ok, how do I pastebin?
[10:55] <voltagex> diaruemnus_: www.pastebin.com
[10:55] <czr> xipietotec, probably will setup a colo dedicated server at some point, just wanted something to last me until that time
[10:55] <czr> xipietotec, your help is appreciated though, thanks for all the hints :-)
[10:56] <Asc> Suavsilk: I'm nstaling now, works fine thanx
[10:56] <Suavsilk> asc my pleasure
[10:56] <Schminux> I running Dapper Drake (6.0.6) and need to include the command "sudo iwpriv ath0 authmode 2" on every reboot since it enables WEP on my wireless card.  How do I add the instruction?  Config file? Can I use a text editor?  I am new to Linux and would appreciate some help.
[10:56] <stefg> !boot
[10:56] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[10:57] <stefg> Schminux: the rc.local section...
[10:57] <czr> without the sudo :-)
[10:57] <rmorris84> hello all.
[10:57] <czr> although it wouldn't hurt, but unnecessary log-entries that way
[10:57] <xipietotec> czr: no problem, I'm looking too...I've found several nice deals on ftp =(
[10:58] <morghot> Suavsilk: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,noauto,nosuid,nodev,users 0 0 --> put this in your fstab if sda1 is your removable disk
[10:58] <czr> xipietotec, I could get some 5GiB over here for 5E/mo, but was looking for something larger really :-)
[10:58] <Schminux> yes, the sudo is only to get around not having Root Account available... is that standard for linux or a ubuntu quirk??
[10:58] <Diaruemnus> it could be a problem if the drive is formatted with NTFS, couldn't it?
[10:59] <diaruemnus_> voltagex, I pastebinned it, but it seems to be taking some time for some reason
[10:59] <czr> Schminux, the root account is available. it's just locked (for your protection). most live-cds use similar approach. other distros normally leave sudo unconfigured and root account unlocked
[10:59] <stefg> Schminux: that's not a quirk, but adesign decision
[10:59] <nysosym> I have a Problem mit my Lg L204WT TFT on DVI-D (On VGA all works fine). I have flickering Pixels under windows i solve this problem with these setting "http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=optimalrl9.jpg). But how can i use them under linux?
[10:59] <nysosym>  any idea?
[10:59] <rmorris84> I was wondering if there is like a free program for linux that is along the same lines, as far as quality, as like reason or ableton for making/editing music...
[10:59] <czr> Schminux, the sudo way is much better.
[10:59] <stefg> !jokosher
[10:59] <ubotu> jokosher: simple and easy to use audio multi-tracker. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu5 (edgy), package size 605 kB, installed size 1676 kB
[11:00] <Suavsilk> morghot how can i check if my portable hdd is sda1?
[11:00] <xipietotec> czr: this sucks....there should be better file-storage options available. >:( for smart people
[11:00] <czr> xipietotec, universe is not meant for smart people :-)
[11:00] <Suavsilk> morghot and fstab is terminal...?
[11:00] <Suavsilk> im a bit of a nub
[11:00] <xipietotec> the media max site looked promising because someone wrote some windows apps that manage it through https
[11:00] <morghot> Suavsilk: fstab is a file into /etc directory
[11:01] <morghot> a text file
[11:01] <czr> stefg, is jokosher any good? (have you used it? compared to audacity?)
[11:01] <morghot> man stab
[11:01] <morghot> man fstab
[11:01] <diaruemnus_> voltagex, it's been posted
[11:01] <diaruemnus_> http://pastebin.com/858871
[11:01] <czr> xipietotec, iff you find something that suits my specs, I'd appreciate a privmsg :-). I normally hang on #kernel
[11:02] <morghot> Suavsilk: probabily your portable hdd is located in /dev/sda
[11:02] <czr> s/hang/hang around/
[11:02] <stefg> czr: jokosher looks promising, but it's 0.1 at the time being
[11:02] <vakosel> hi all! new around and i would like to ask ( i have both python 2.4 and 2.5 installed) how
[11:02] <czr> stefg, ah, ok. been doing some cd-compilations using audacity for the past 3-4 years and it's slowly driving me crazy :-)
[11:02] <xipietotec> and virtual storage is way over priced....if I can get more than 100gigs for less than $80....I should be able to get 100 gigs online with bells and whistles for $5 a month
[11:02] <xipietotec> garrr
[11:03] <vakosel> can i make 2.5 be my default python dir?
[11:03] <diaruemnus_> did you find the post voltagex ?
[11:03] <morghot> Suavsilk: if you read de man fstab wil be more easy for you
[11:03] <xipietotec> czr: Imma keep lookin :) so far my idea is to find some way to link 100 google accounts together...heh
[11:03] <czr> xipietotec, comparing the price of a single hard disk against storage space in SAN is hardly fair :-)
[11:03] <czr> xipietotec, hah.
[11:03] <stefg> czr: but since a lot of canonical employees are on that project i guess it will be quite good in ubuntu
[11:03] <czr> stefg, good to know. will take a look at in when it hits 0.2 ;-)
[11:03] <xipietotec> czr: pfft, I know how to set up raid =P
[11:03] <Suavsilk> morghot i got the fstab open, im still unsure if my phdd is sda1...
[11:04] <xipietotec> it's no big deal
[11:04] <czr> xipietotec, ever built redundant services over inet? :-)
[11:04] <czr> it's not cheap if you want to keep maintenance costs down
[11:05] <xipietotec> czr: storage is cheap, bandwidth isn't. charge for bandwidth
[11:05] <xipietotec> flat rates per kb
[11:05] <czr> xipietotec, how many multiterabyte systems have you built?
[11:05] <czr> just wondering where to get all this cheap storage :-)
[11:06] <Suavsilk> morghot i cant save fstab file, You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file
[11:06] <xipietotec> czr: errr, I don't personally have *need* of multi-terabyte storage, but I have 2TB's of storage alltogether on my home machines
[11:06] <siccness> sudo
[11:06] <vakosel> any idea  how to make python 2.5 my default instead of 2.4?
[11:06] <diaruemnus_> could I have someone look at my putput for a build I attempted?
[11:06] <diaruemnus_> *output
[11:07] <czr> stefg, it was limited to 5 GiB unfortunately. and you also have to be a client for the ISP that provides the service.
[11:07] <czr> stefg, so the true price is somewhat more than that.
[11:07] <stefg> czr: i see... you are one of the TCO wizards :-)
[11:07] <kharloss> please somebody give me an ideea about my problem .
[11:07] <xipietotec> but you can buy 300gig server drives now for about $80 each
[11:07] <kharloss> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=73122
[11:08] <rmorris84> I was wondering if there is like a free program for linux that is along the same lines, as far as quality, as like reason or ableton for making/editing music...
[11:08] <czr> stefg, TCO or no TCO, I like to spend my time not fixing/replacing/configuring/maintaining unnecessary things :-)
[11:08] <czr> stefg, the only reason why I use ubuntu really :-)
[11:08] <stefg> czr, same with me
[11:09] <xipietotec> I just need about 25 gigs for periodic backups etc of my laptop, and making large files available to it in a way my wife will use.
[11:10] <czr> xipietotec, as a mental exersise, I'd suggest you plan and design a storage system suitable for 24/7 operation over the network (internet) with more than 5TiB aggregate capacity. it's an interesting exersise.
[11:10] <stefg> although the average bug-stupidity index has considerably gone up in Dapper and even mor in edgy :-)
[11:10] <xipietotec> czr: I see your point, but they're still overpriced =P
[11:10] <czr> stefg, still running dapper mainly exactly for that reason. have the others in vmware though :-)
[11:10] <czr> xipietotec, indeed :-)
[11:10] <voltagex> sorry diaruemnus_  I'm back
[11:11] <diaruemnus_> its ok
[11:11] <diaruemnus_> I have the url for the paste
[11:11] <diaruemnus_> http://pastebin.com/858871
[11:11] <itsx> please,any algorithms how to detect where is the problem with no - sound?
[11:12] <czr> stefg, do you ever wish that all "progress" would stop for 2-5 years? :-)
[11:12] <Schminux> stefg, ubotu, & czr - thanks to all of you for the kind assistance!   I didn't want to assume you'd be here after I try a reboot and wait till then to thank you.
[11:12] <stefg> czr: you can easily have that... just go offline :-)
[11:12] <xipietotec> czr: if a ton of sites exist that essentially give away file hosting (in a crappy hosting format) the *good* ones should be cheapish...especially since it's not so hard to make your client fuse mountable
[11:12] <voltagex> diaruemnus_: It's not loading for me, sorry
[11:12] <czr> Schminux, np, tell us how it works :-)
[11:12] <xipietotec> I think you actually have to try harder and hobble it with proprietary programs personally
[11:13] <czr> stefg, hardware breaks :-)
[11:13] <czr> xipietotec, I'm sure no one will stop you from starting such service :-)
[11:13] <ttmrichter> itsx: Algorithm for sound problems under Linux.  1.  Does it work?  If yes: be happy.  If no: you're screwed.  :)
[11:13] <xipietotec> czr: lol, except me, and lack of money
[11:14] <czr> I have some platform thingies that I might be using at some point to implement 24/7 expandable multinode storage (cheap COTS and still low TCO)
[11:14] <czr> but now is not the time for that project :-)
[11:14] <Asc> is WINE any good, easy to use and so on ?
[11:14] <diaruemnus_> thanks for looking, voltagex
[11:14] <voltagex> diaruemnus_:  try sudo make all, sudo make modules
[11:14] <stefg> !sound | itsx
[11:14] <ubotu> itsx: 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
[11:15] <stefg> flash dies , too
[11:15] <xipietotec> no movin parts, ftw
[11:15] <flo> there is a pckage cold gl-yeld something that improves nvidia perfomances can anyone pls remember me the name and where i can getit?
[11:15] <xipietotec> stefg: yes, but no moving parts + low power consumption
[11:15] <czr> flash dies + the price of the equiv hardly is TCO.
[11:15] <xipietotec> or hell, EPROM
[11:15] <stefg> EEPROM
[11:15] <Asc> can I use wine so that my kid can play his windows game on ubuntu ?
[11:15] <stefg> Asc: sometimes
[11:15] <voltagex> Asc: depends which game
[11:16] <Asc> its ex. to games that plays from the cd
[11:16] <_magez_> !emerald
[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <voltagex> eh?
[11:17] <xipietotec> zero-install = massively useful for enterprise terminals
[11:17] <voltagex> what's the name of the game Asc
[11:17] <mobal> hi'
[11:17] <czr> xipietotec, that's not hard :-) what specifically do you have in mind?
[11:17] <_magez_> !beryl
[11:17] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:17] <mobal> ubotu
[11:17] <Asc> different games from www.pinjata.com
[11:18] <mobal> ubotu who are you?
[11:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about who are you? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:18] <stefg> BTW did anyone try or manage to get 'suspend to (USB)-flash'  working?
[11:18] <voltagex> hmm no idea
[11:18] <voltagex> mobal: he's a bot :P
[11:18] <stefg> !ubotu
[11:18] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:18] <mobal> i do :D
[11:18] <mobal> !ubotu
[11:19] <xipietotec> czr: I think there's potentially a market for medium to large size businesses, setting up cheap desktop terminals (like the linutop), and using zero install to simply distribute what's needed from a pre-configured server
[11:19] <czr> xipietotec, www.nomachine.com
[11:19] <nmsa> hello
[11:20] <czr> that plus LTSP terminals for example
[11:20] <noobcook> is there any good games in the debs i can download?
[11:20] <noobcook> eg quake2?
[11:20] <stefg> edubuntu, but for Office environments.... Citrix replacement
[11:20] <czr> the problem in medium/large enterprises is not related to "there's nothing in linux that can do this". the problem is much much worse
[11:20] <nmsa> I am looking for a app that just in command line switches the channels on a capture card; is there such a app?
[11:21] <Yawner> How do I remove a kernel? I currently have 2.6.17.10-generic, and 2.6.17.10-386. however the 386 gives me a lovely x.org error, I think I missed an update for it, (saying there is a mismatch between the module versions), so is there anyway I can stay on 2.6.17.10-generic, remove the 386 kernel and then do the update again..?
[11:21] <czr> xipietotec, stefg: ever participated in a office migration project? from msoffice ot ooo?
[11:21] <stefg> !games | noobcook
[11:21] <ubotu> noobcook: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[11:21] <czr> in a company obviously.
[11:21] <xipietotec> czr: No machine suffers from one problem: "We don't have the server."
[11:21] <nmsa> or better, doing capture and oggfwd I need to switch channels, how can I do that?
[11:21] <xipietotec> czr: no, I work for evil companies
[11:21] <czr> xipietotec, doesn't compute. what do you mean?
[11:22] <xipietotec> czr: no machine is remote thin client right?
[11:22] <stefg> czr: luckily i rarely migrate things... desaster recovery after a worm killed the data is much easier :-)... Defined starting point :o
[11:22] <czr> well, before you get all excited about replacing pretty much anything in a existing sw-infrastructure and processes, it helps to have some experience first about where the real problems are :-)
[11:22] <czr> stefg, indeed. if only one could start from scratch.
[11:22] <deadly_tux> hello to you all
[11:22] <czr> xipietotec, they have server too.
[11:22] <czr> with management and all that
[11:23] <czr> participating in some exchange -> anything open source -project is also helpful
[11:23] <xipietotec> czr: has you seen the linutop?
[11:23] <chn> so when will ubuntu get Upstart and get rid of its fugly init setup
[11:23] <chn> A?AAA
[11:23] <xipietotec> ....exchange....is evil
[11:23] <czr> will open your eyes. so wide that you want to shut them. but it will be too late
[11:23] <stefg> czr: but as storage guy. Do you feel it's worth the effort investigating if i can get suspend to USB-flash work?
[11:23] <chn> xipietotec: indeed
[11:24] <deadly_tux> does somebody know how to install a new harddisk in Ubuntu 6.10 pls?
[11:24] <Flannel> chn: upstart was developed by ubuntu developers.  it's in edgy already.
[11:24] <czr> stefg, usb flash is slow. if you have a lot of ram, it will be "useless"
[11:24] <itsx> ubotu:thx:)
[11:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thx:) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:24] <xipietotec> czr: nuh uh, they added it as a "feature" in vista! =P
[11:24] <chn> Flannel: but is it intended to clean up the debian mess
[11:25] <chn> the 6 useless runlevels for once
[11:25] <czr> stefg, other than that there are no big technical obstacles to it. also if you can compress the data before it hits flash, it will make it much faster
[11:25] <czr> xipietotec, I don't much care about what they added in vista :-)
[11:25] <chn> VISTA
[11:25] <chn> insert Hype
[11:25] <Flannel> chn: there are no runlevels with upstart
[11:25] <stefg> czr: i see... so the resume from flash will be slower than a reboot, i guess
[11:25] <xipietotec> czr: I was being facetious
[11:25] <chn> ive heard they got autotuning network stack
[11:26] <chn> only a couple of years after lienox got it
[11:26] <czr> stefg, depends on how much ram you have. do a dd if=/dev/sd-whatever-your-usb-is test first to measure the speed
[11:26] <chn> Flannel: good
[11:26] <chn> Flannel: so have cron been merged into it
[11:26] <Flannel> !upstart | chn, you can read all about it
[11:26] <ubotu> chn, you can read all about it: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[11:26] <czr> stefg, there are some pretty pictures on http://koltsoff.com/pub/blockspeed/ measuring speeds of various things
[11:26] <czr> stefg, although I haven't measured write speeds on usb flash (properly). they're slower though.
[11:26] <chn> and the terrible service config needs to go to
[11:27] <stefg> czr... good read, thx
[11:27] <rgough> Hey everyone
[11:27] <rgough> I have a question..
[11:27] <Flannel> !ask | rgough
[11:27] <ubotu> rgough: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:27] <czr> stefg, there's also blockspeed2/ , basically the only difference is that the grapher doesn't support text, but allows you to see "more". the grapher isn't finished yet, but you might want to take a look at it anyway
[11:27] <rgough> heh.
[11:27] <deadly_tux> hello rgough
[11:27] <chn> ubotu: but its progressing nicely then
[11:28] <rgough> Is there anyway to install ubuntu from the command line instead of booting it up.. it freezes on either install on boot up.
[11:28] <chn> xipietotec: well suspend 2 mem works quite nicely too
[11:28] <rgough> 6.06 btw.
[11:28] <chn> rgough: i have a question too
[11:28] <rgough> wicked *nods*
[11:28] <deadly_tux> @rgough: is your computer too slow?
[11:28] <chn> rgough: yea baby ,, theres the alternative install cd
[11:28] <Flannel> rgough: Alternate CD has a textmode installer.  No, the DEsktop CD doesn't have any method except the lvieCD
[11:29] <chn> Why cant i sleep
[11:29] <czr> stefg, comments appreciated btw (privmsg). typos/etc.
[11:29] <Flannel> !offtopic | chn
[11:29] <ubotu> chn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:29] <xipietotec> chn: yeah, but my laptop still runs out of battery power, and my desktop...I don't even want to think about...
[11:29] <rgough> ok cool. ty
[11:29] <stefg> czr... sure. but will take me a while to digest that :-)
[11:29] <knight> hi hwo can i add skins in mplayer? whers it done?
[11:29] <chn> xipietotec: mnn
[11:29] <chn> ubotu: k
[11:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about k - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:30] <chn> dooh
[11:30] <knight> hi hwo can i add skins in mplayer? hows it done?
[11:30] <chn> talk about random
[11:31] <php-freak> where can I get a text browser at, or can firefox do this?
[11:31] <xipietotec> knight: mplayer doesn't use skins, it uses gtk themes
[11:31] <deadly_tux> isn't Lynx a text-browser?
[11:31] <Flannel> php-freak: you already have lynx installed, there are more in the repositories
[11:31] <deadly_tux> i don't know if it is also for linux... maybe
[11:31] <stefg> !links2
[11:31] <ubotu> Browsers available for Linux: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), Opera (Qt, proprietary)  -  HTTP servers: apache2
[11:31] <knight> xipietotec: but i have done apt-get mplayer-skins install
[11:31] <php-freak> which one is text based browser though?
[11:32] <php-freak> inless i can make firefox a text browser
[11:32] <Flannel> php-freak: lynx is.  firefox isnt.
[11:32] <stefg> php-freak: w3m is installed by default
[11:32] <deadly_tux> text-browser: lynx
[11:32] <php-freak> cool
[11:32] <php-freak> where it at/
[11:32] <eegore> what does it take to get the joystick to register
[11:32] <Flannel> php-freak: links is, w3m, links2, elinks, etc, etc.
[11:32] <php-freak> how do i access it I mean
[11:32] <deadly_tux> terminal?
[11:32] <Flannel> php-freak: just type the name, at a console
[11:32] <czr> stefg, I'm not in a hurry :-)
[11:32] <xipietotec> !mplayer-skins
[11:32] <ubotu> mplayer-skins: Skins for the Ubuntu mplayer Package. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2-6 (edgy), package size 68 kB, installed size 204 kB
[11:32] <deadly_tux> why do you need a text-browser if i may ask?
[11:32] <xipietotec> they must be gtk themes
[11:33] <knight> xipietotec: how can i access it?
[11:33] <stefg> czr, but obviously your data are....hence the optimisation efforts :-)
[11:33] <czr> stefg, heh. it bothered me that no one had done proper measurements on anything before
[11:34] <tony_> ?
[11:34] <czr> stefg, the measurement software now also does write/seek/writecaching tests as well, but since I didn't finish the new grapher, I haven't put those on display
[11:34] <stefg> czr: yeah cutting through the bs can be tough
[11:34] <xipietotec> huh...that's weird..I have only 2 skins in mplayer....
[11:34] <knight> xipietotec: yah same is here........
[11:34] <tony_> how to use this software?
[11:34] <stefg> !mplayer-skins
[11:34] <ubotu> mplayer-skins: Skins for the Ubuntu mplayer Package. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2-6 (edgy), package size 68 kB, installed size 204 kB
[11:34] <czr> stefg, it is. especially with more expensive stuff. darn close to impossible to get _any_ proper specs on those.
[11:34] <php-freak> thats neato text based browser
[11:35] <RememberPOL> What's the name of the RDC client ubuntu uses?
[11:35] <czr> stefg, try to identify the fastest disks there. that's what I call a proper disk ;-). 15krpm scsi. oldish one too
[11:35] <php-freak> I needed to check my site to make sure every link was crawable by google
[11:35] <knight> xipietotec: i havnt seen any tabs to include skins folder too
[11:35] <czr> RememberPOL, rdp?
[11:35] <xipietotec> knight: it seems that there's only 2 skins in mplayer-skins
[11:35] <czr> RememberPOL, or what is RDC?
[11:35] <RememberPOL> remote desktop connect
[11:36] <xipietotec> so it's a useless package, go to gnomelook, look for mplayer skins
[11:36] <czr> RememberPOL, rdesktop is pretty good. in kde it's also available via a kioslave
[11:36] <knight> xipietotec: whers the libk?
[11:36] <RememberPOL> k
[11:36] <knight> xipietotec: link
[11:36] <xipietotec> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[11:36] <knight> xipietotec: thnx
[11:37] <rgough> is there any mirrors that are faster than like 60kBs.. im in UK..
[11:37] <rgough> obviously thats not the mirrors fault..
[11:37] <rgough> ignore me.
[11:37] <CryptoMole> hi all
[11:37] <knight> xipietotec: hey man its too cool.......... :-))))
[11:38] <brush01uk> sorry ,I just sign on & newbie  sorry no info
[11:38] <xipietotec> knight: no problem, I think there's probably skins folder in .mplayer
[11:39] <brush01uk> Rgough, no info :-)
[11:39] <rgough> eh
[11:39] <rgough> man chatziila is crap.
[11:39] <knight> xipietotec: but how could i add it from gnome -look?
[11:39] <czr> rgough, you can get your money back on it if you like :-)
[11:40] <rgough> aye
[11:40] <xipietotec> knight: you'd upack the tarball into the mplayer skins folder
[11:40] <brush01uk> Greetings Everyone, have a good Day
[11:40] <rgough> thought it may be quite *useful*
[11:40] <czr> rgough, never used it though :-)
[11:41] <Vord> Hey, can somebody tell me how I would go about stopping mounted devices from showing up on my desktop? For instance, I have a 200gb NTFS drive that I have mounted with ntfs-3g, and it's showing up on my desktop, any idea how I'd remedy that?
[11:42] <czr> I have no idea how the automatic thing is implemented, but it must be something that uses pmount internally and then will create symlinks on ~/Desktop
[11:43] <czr> maybe hal or dbus?
[11:43] <czr> at least that's where the "new storage" is reported through (udev getting the first signal of course)
[11:43] <Vord> How would I go about changing those?
[11:43] <Vord> I've done it before, I just cannot remember how for the life of me
[11:43] <Vord> I think it mighta been dbus
[11:43] <Vord> but that could just be a shot in the dark
[11:43] <czr> Vord, as I said, "I have no idea..." :-) not even sure which component would do the symlink
[11:44] <czr> might be some script as well. somewhere.
[11:44] <Vord> :)
[11:44] <Vord> Bah
[11:44] <czr> when you find out, do tell me :-)
[11:44] <czr> I find the feature annoying as well
[11:46] <Vord> I'll let you know how to turn it off as soon as I figure it out :P
[11:47] <cherva> Can I make my workspace 2 to be displayed on my TV and Workspace 1 to be on my Monitor ?
[11:47] <Synthetic420> hi all
[11:47] <Synthetic420> does anyone recocmmend ubuntu for ppc?
[11:47] <cherva> i don't want my TV to be "Right Of"
[11:47] <czr> Synthetic420, compared to what and what for? :-)
[11:48] <Synthetic420> to other linux distros, and useability i guess
[11:48] <Synthetic420> driver support
[11:48] <Synthetic420> software
[11:48] <Synthetic420> i see the support is great
[11:48] <czr> Synthetic420, have you ever used linux (any distro)?
[11:48] <Synthetic420> yes
[11:49] <Synthetic420> gentoo and suse
[11:49] <Synthetic420> i'm runnign suse right now
[11:49] <czr> Synthetic420, and how would you describe your needs as a user? desktop?
[11:49] <stefg> czr: damn, that is exactly the kind of info i always looked for on the net before deciding how to setup a new system. Although i'm pretty good at doing things intuitivly right  it's alway good to have facts , that show, /why/ you did it right
[11:49] <Synthetic420> laptop
[11:49] <czr> I use ubuntu for the two ppc:s that I have (older hardware though)
[11:49] <el-sio> hello world
[11:49] <rgough> i use it for sex.
[11:49] <Synthetic420> ..
[11:49] <czr> stefg, glad to hear that you find it useful. would be nice to have more data though
[11:49] <rgough> sorry i should be ignored.
[11:50] <rgough>  /ignore me.
[11:50] <czr> rgough, so you say, but I find you quite amusing :-)
[11:50] <pielgrzym> anyone knows how to install new fonts in wine?
[11:50] <rgough> so i say.
[11:50] <Synthetic420> czr: so, should I go with ubuntu, or perhaps go to a different distro
[11:50] <czr> Synthetic420, best thing I guess is that google for 'laptop name/model ubuntu problems'. adding the 'problems' always leads to interesting results (more relevant ones)
[11:50] <Synthetic420> resources aren;t that big of an issue
[11:51] <Synthetic420> i've scoured google
[11:51] <Synthetic420> the only problem i might have is the airport one
[11:51] <czr> Synthetic420, if you like suse, I'd suggest installing kubuntu (kde by default). you'll be more at home with it (desktop-wise)
[11:51] <Synthetic420> and i think i got that down
[11:51] <Synthetic420> what comes with ubuntu? gnome?
[11:51] <czr> that's the default
[11:52] <czr> basically the only difference between the two is gnome vs kde by default. you can later install the other one and use both if you like.
[11:52] <Synthetic420> yeah thats what i do with suse
[11:52] <czr> also the selection of software is influenced by the gnome or kde-thingy
[11:52] <Synthetic420> how much software comes with ubuntu?
[11:52] <czr> by default or via network installs later on?
[11:53] <Synthetic420> installs
[11:53] <czr> via network (with apt-get) you get more than in suse (if that is the question)
[11:53] <czr> "more than enough" ;-)
[11:53] <rgough> crap i gotta paint for 54:38 mins. thx for the help.. in some kind of way. mainly because im lonley and i need friends.
[11:53] <Synthetic420> is there a decent wireless app?
[11:53] <czr> Synthetic420, you'll want to open up the "universe" and maybe "multiverse" repos to get most of it
[11:54] <czr> I don't use wireless with ubuntu, don't really know.. maybe someone else does though
[11:55] <Synthetic420> hmm
[11:55] <czr> also I'd guess it depends on what you're looking in "the wireless app"
[11:55] <czr> looking for even.
[11:55] <Synthetic420> how about look ;P
[11:55] <Synthetic420> i mean stylw
[11:55] <Synthetic420> style*
[11:55] <shinobi2> i installed j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin  but still unable to play applets
[11:55] <Synthetic420> is it lindows type like suse is
[11:56] <czr> Synthetic420, I have no idea :-) I tend to select software based on what they provide, not what they look like :-)
[11:56] <Synthetic420> yeah me too
[11:56] <Synthetic420> but might as well throw that in there too
[11:57] <Synthetic420> :D
[11:57] <czr> try it out. probably the ubuntu wiki contains some additional info on the wireless stuff
[11:57] <Synthetic420> ok
[11:57] <Synthetic420> i ordered a ppc cd
[11:57] <czr> I've been pretty happy with ubuntu/kubuntu on ppc. old hardware caveats though.
[11:57] <cherva> Can I make my workspace 2 to be displayed on my TV and Workspace 1 to be on my Monitor ? i don't want to change my config every time i want to see a film on the tv so "Send to Workspace 2" will come in handy and there will be no app's showing in my tv extended part of the monitor when my TV is turned off
[11:57] <stefg> czr: small typo: the guy with the butterfly images is Ro_ h_rschach..
[11:57] <T1> Synthetic420: do you use encryption?
[11:58] <Synthetic420> no
[11:58] <Synthetic420> i do when i go to customer's houses tho
[11:58] <J-_> What can I use to open .chm bin files?
[11:58] <czr> stefg, I actually did a google-fight on that :-)
[11:58] <czr> according to wiki it's without h.
[11:59] <czr> stefg, also: http://www.rorschach.com/
[11:59] <stefg> i'm just experiencing the same... ok, leave it, although my german feels that it must be written with h
[11:59] <T1> Synthetic420: do you use network manager?
[11:59] <czr> stefg, I think he was swiss. they're funny people in many ways :--)
[12:00] <stefg> czr: might be a mistake which was repeated so often, that people in fact believe right is wrong
[12:00] <ph8> is there an alternative to nautilus in gnome? it really bugs me how if i say.. empty my trash - which could take 30 seconds or so, i can't use any other nautilus windows while it's happening
[12:00] <ph8> same for if one download of three is erroring, all three windows freeze
[12:00] <czr> stefg, always a possibility. in which case I don't suffer much if I repeat the same mistake :-). if you find a definitive reference for it, I'd appreciate it.
[12:01] <el-sio> it's me again
[12:01] <Synthetic420> T1: well, I've tried
[12:01] <el-sio> need a litle help on a no sound problem
[12:02] <Synthetic420> but my damn airport has been getting the better of me
[12:02] <el-sio> I had no sound on the live cd but I installed however
[12:02] <el-sio> and surprise no sound here to
[12:02] <el-sio> :D
[12:02] <T1> Synthetic420: lol, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo this might help if you need wpa
[12:03] <stefg> czr,i guess Rorschach is righter ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_inkblot_test lets trust wikipedia
[12:03] <Synthetic420> T1: is there any other networking software in ubuntu?
[12:03] <czr> stefg, if you look at the same speed-profile on blockspeed2/, you'll find it very interesting :-)
[12:04] <czr> stefg, the b/w-picture on that profile doesn't really do justice to the "inkblot" seagate.
[12:04] <T1> Synthetic420: that seems to be the 'standard', but 2 mins ill have a look for you
[12:04] <Synthetic420> ok thanks
[12:05] <T1> Synthetic420: kde or gnome?
[12:06] <Synthetic420> hmm
[12:06] <Synthetic420> i like kde, but gnome..  i guess gnome\
[12:06] <Synthetic420> what about both
[12:06] <TurnTheOtherWay> anyone know anything about msec?
[12:06] <Sybux> Hi,
[12:06] <T1> Synthetic420: kk
[12:07] <Sybux> I want to install a PDF printer on my server so that I can print via network from my ubuntu computer or windows computer
[12:07] <roxlu> hi all!
[12:08] <roxlu> Is there a way to 'hard' close an application when it 'hangs'
[12:08] <T1> Synthetic420: theres wlassistant in the repos, but it uses the kde libs, but you could try it if you want
[12:08] <Sybux> roxlu : do ps -ef to look at the process number of your application and then do a kill -9 PID
[12:08] <czr> stefg, this is the one I'm talking about: http://koltsoff.com/pub/blockspeed/pata-disks-ST320414A.png
[12:08] <T1> roxlu: theres a gnome panel applet to do it if you want
[12:09] <czr> stefg, on blockspeed2/ -page there is also another atypical profile. a travelstar that doesn't actually get slower towards the end (or it does, but it bounces back ;-)
[12:09] <roxlu> T1: really? whats the name ?
[12:09] <Synthetic420> T1: ok, imma go load it right nwo
[12:09] <Synthetic420> thx for the help
[12:11] <stefg> czr: funny figures... that nourishes the suspicion that hd vendors cover poorly manufactured platters by tricky low-level formats and weird block mappings..
[12:11] <roxlu> T1: do you know the name of that applet?
[12:12] <czr> stefg, indeed. I have no idea what would be the reason for the 20G seagate map. there is no logic. or the travelstar
[12:12] <Sybux> I want to install a PDF printer on my server so that I can print via network from my ubuntu computer or windows computer
[12:12] <czr> stefg, also ibm particularly seems to favor short very fast areas at start of logical space, but the slowest areas are almost 2x as slow
[12:12] <stefg> czr: lez's head for #ubuntu-offtopic, it's quieter in there, and we don't disturb support then
[12:14] <alecjw> hi. i've heard that there's an ntfs driver with read/write support, which uses window's ntfs.sys. is this true? if so, where can i get it from?
[12:15] <burgus> hi, i have a problem with edgy, when i turn off my pc i get an error and i cant get on X. the error is: "init: rcS process (1839) killed by signal 11" and " init: rc-default process (1841) killed by signal 11". Now i'm using the live cd
[12:15] <tedo> KSirc me nije pitao za nick
[12:15] <burgus> any help will be greatful
[12:15] <burgus> s/off/ON
[12:15] <tedo> ima li tu koga iz Hrvatske?
[12:16] <el-sio> little help with a sound problem ?
[12:18] <burgus> hi, i have a problem with edgy, when i turn on my pc i get an error and i cant get on X. the error is: "init: rcS process (1839) killed by signal 11" and " init: rc-default process (1841) killed by signal 11". Now i'm using the live cd, thanks.
[12:20] <Gerald> does someone understand the install cd of Ubuntu Edgy? When I boot from the CD and click 'install or start ubuntu', I do not get the option to install the new Ubuntu, the only thing he wants to do is start the LIVE CD... Ho do I just install Ubuntu on my harddisk (and delete everything else)??
[12:20] <RememberPOL> Gerald: Boot the live CD to the desktop and click on the "Install" icon.
[12:20] <_Enchained> Gerald: let it start in liveCD, then on the Desktop you will have an Install icon
[12:20] <RememberPOL> and stop being a noob
[12:20] <RememberPOL> :)
[12:21] <Gerald> but the specifications are not enough to start the live cd...
[12:21] <burgus> hi, i have a problem with edgy, when i turn on my pc i get an error and i cant get on X. the error is: "init: rcS process (1839) killed by signal 11" and " init: rc-default process (1841) killed by signal 11". Now i'm using the live cd, thanks.
[12:21] <_Enchained> if you want the old school install debian-like, get the alternate CD
[12:21] <_Enchained> Gerald: so > alternateCD
[12:21] <Gerald> okay, well thank you :) (strange way to install tough)
[12:21] <RememberPOL> If you can't boot the liveCD then you're probably going to have problems running a full installed version?
[12:22] <Gerald> mmm, maybe, just not enough RAM
[12:22] <Tomcat_> Gerald: If the specs are too low, maybe try xubuntu.
[12:22] <RememberPOL> I'm running Xubuntu. It's nice
[12:22] <_Enchained> Gerald: liveCD require >= 196Mo RAM
[12:22] <RememberPOL> A little sloppier than mainstream
[12:22] <RememberPOL> but it does the job
[12:22] <TurnTheOtherWay> how sloppier?
[12:23] <RememberPOL> Just icons and junk
[12:23] <Gerald> and how many does Ubuntu Edgy require?
[12:23] <_Enchained> Xubuntu is really lighter than gnome and KDE Gerald
[12:23] <RememberPOL> for example on the latest 6.10 release the first thing you see on a fresh install login is the Xubuntu firefox page pop up saying "WELCOME TO XUBUNTU 6.06"
[12:23] <RememberPOL> (not 6.10)
[12:23] <TurnTheOtherWay> lol nice
[12:24] <Tomcat_> Heh... I'm always waiting till regular Ubuntu misses that one. ;)
[12:24] <Tomcat_> It'll happen some day.
[12:24] <_Enchained> RememberPOL: report a bug onlaunchpad ;)
[12:24] <RememberPOL> Eh
[12:24] <_Enchained> on*
[12:24] <TurnTheOtherWay> anyone know how usecs going?
[12:24] <RememberPOL> I talked to the devs myself
[12:24] <RememberPOL> there's like 10 people packaging Xubuntu
[12:24] <RememberPOL> how many work on Mainstream? 100?
[12:24] <RememberPOL> :p
[12:24] <_Enchained> you talked to gpocentek ?
[12:25] <RememberPOL> i dunno someone in #xubuntu
[12:26] <christopher_l> how do I disable animations in Ubuntu 6.10??
[12:26] <RememberPOL> Rip out your video card..
[12:26] <christopher_l> bad idea
[12:26] <pettern_> i get the message "usb 1-1: reset low speed USB device using ohcl_hcd and address 3" in /var/log/messages all the time. And at the same time my system hangs for a few seconds. Any idea how i can fix that?
[12:26] <RememberPOL> What animations?
[12:26] <christopher_l> from the windows
[12:26] <christopher_l> when you open and close them
[12:27] <RememberPOL> no idea
[12:27] <RememberPOL> pettern_: Do you have a USB device plugged?
[12:29] <pettern_> RememberPOL: only the mouse
[12:30] <nolimitsoya> would anyone here happen to know how to make abcde work with vorbisgain on flac rippings?
[12:30] <RememberPOL> pettern_: Try unplugging in and see if it stops glitching?
[12:33] <pettern_> RememberPOL: it probebly will but thats not a good solution:)
[12:33] <RememberPOL> well if it does then i suggest getting a different mouse
[12:34] <burgus> hi, i have a problem with edgy, when i turn on my pc i get an error and i cant get on X. the error is: "init: rcS process (1839) killed by signal 11" and " init: rc-default process (1841) killed by signal 11". Now i'm using the live cd, thanks.
[12:34] <marlun> is there a shortcut to search for the currently marked text in the active window/application in the dictionary applet? =)
[12:34] <burgus> can someone help me, please ?
[12:34] <geo> how do I delete a ntfs file from ubuntu?
[12:35] <Azul> geo, install the ntfs-3g driver, mount your ntfs parition with it, then you can delete/create files on it
[12:36] <Azul> !ntfs-3g
[12:36] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[12:37] <geo> thanks
[12:37] <rc-1> how do you change default browser? (xchat opens stuff in mozilla)
[12:37] <cherva> anyone upgraded windows installer in cedega / wine ?
[12:37] <geo> I just want to delete one file that windows won't let me delete
[12:37] <pettern_> RememberPOL: i tried to remove one of the usb modules and that did not help, and now i tried moving it to another usb controller.
[12:37] <Azul> rc-1, change the defaul browser in the Settings > Preferences box
[12:38] <rc-1> ah thanks
[12:38] <pettern_> seems strange that it works woth other distroes but not yoper
[12:38] <pettern_> ubuntu*
[12:40] <rc-1> Azul, i dont see in settings/preferences :(
[12:42] <nolimitsoya> would anyone here happen to know how to make abcde work with vorbisgain on flac rippings?
[12:42] <Azul> rc-1, maybe try to change the default browser for ubuntu itself

[12:47] <rc-1> ahh, thats already firefox so thats not the problem
[12:47] <adop> rizo: man lsof
[12:48] <cypher1> rizo, lsof ?
[12:48] <roxlu> hi again!
[12:48] <rizo> brilliant
[12:48] <rizo> thanks guys
[12:48] <roxlu> when I want to connect to a samba share of another server, how do I need to connect so I can 'write' files?
[12:49] <roxlu> (the permissions in the 'mounted'  directory are not the same as permissions on the server
[12:50] <adop> roxlu: you don't need to mount it, you could use nautilus to go through your network
[12:50] <roxlu> adob yeah I know know but I need to mount it on startup and for backup reasons..
[12:52] <Asc> can't wine run .bat files, why cant i browse the cdrom ?
[12:52] <Vord> Hey, who had been helping me out earlier trying to figure out how to take mounted devices off of desktop?
[12:52] <burgus> hi, i have a problem with edgy, when i turn on my pc i get an error and i cant get on X. the error is: "init: rcS process (1839) killed by signal 11" and " init: rc-default process (1841) killed by signal 11". Now i'm using the live cd, thanks.
[12:53] <Vord> Asc? maybe?
[12:53] <Zaggynl> I'm trying to follow this guide, but I'm stuck at downloading the needed data, I keep running into unmet dependencies
[12:53] <Zaggynl> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation_Dapper
[12:54] <Vord> ?
[12:54] <Asc> vord: i'm trying to run a program from a cd, but wine will only browse for exe files
[12:55] <fouadbajwa> Hi guys, need some emergency help with XDMCP
[12:55] <fouadbajwa> i am running edgy desktop on my dv2000 hp laptop
[12:55] <Vord> Asc: cd /media/cdrom and wine the exe?
[12:55] <fouadbajwa> i was playing around when suddenly it starts now showing a XDMCP service login
[12:56] <fouadbajwa> Hi guys, need some emergency help with XDMCP,  i am running edgy desktop on my dv2000 hp laptop, i was playing around when suddenly it starts now showing a XDMCP service login
[12:56] <fouadbajwa> now it doesn't let me login or remove this crazy window? can anyone help me on this?
[12:57] <fouadbajwa> Need some emergency help with XDMCP,  i am running edgy desktop on my dv2000 hp laptop, i was playing around when suddenly it starts now showing a XDMCP service login,  it doesn't let me login or remove this crazy window? can anyone help me on this?
[12:57] <T1> fouadbajwa: sorry i cant help without more info
[12:58] <fouadbajwa> hello?
[12:58] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: select a normal login from the menu
[12:58] <Vord> Now, who was working with me on trying to figure out how to take mounted devices off of the desktop?
[12:58] <Vord> I have the fix for it
[12:58] <T1> when does this come up?
[12:58] <fouadbajwa> this is directly at login
[12:58] <fouadbajwa> no login shows up
[12:58] <Asc> vord: how do I wine the exe file ? And must it be exe file ?
[12:58] <fouadbajwa> only this window
[12:58] <T1> vord: it wasnt me but i am interested to know the fix
[12:58] <fouadbajwa> says no serving hosts were found
[12:59] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: there is a menu on the screen
[12:59] <fouadbajwa> and if i click help it says
[12:59] <Vord> T1, gconf-editor in terminal, and apps > nautilus > desktop > volumes_visible uncheck. I think this would work.
[12:59] <fouadbajwa> no menus
[12:59] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, there's probably a way to disable this and return to the normal GDM prompt -- are there any buttons around perhaps named Session or so?
[12:59] <Vord> Copied and pasted from a help forum, works like a charm
[12:59] <T1> vord: oh cool thanks, they always irritated me :D
[12:59] <Vord> Me too :D
[12:59] <Vord> Glad I could help :P
[12:59] <Asc> Vord: how do I wine the exe file ? And must it be exe file ?
[01:00] <Vord> wine file.exe
[01:00] <Vord> and yes, I'm pretty sure it does
[01:00] <un_operateur> Asc, wine /path/to/file.exe
[01:00] <ulfstand> hi, I'm having problems to mount my nfs server. I got the error RPC: error 15 (Program not registered)
[01:00] <fouadbajwa> nopes no such buttons around
[01:00] <fouadbajwa> the buttons are only help, refresh, cancel, connect
[01:00] <un_operateur> Asc, if you are trying to run a batch file, you need to get windows' cmd.exe to run it
[01:00] <Lynx-> I have inetd installed, and today I installed proftpd, configuring it to run via inetd. But every time I try to connect to a server I get "421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection". How can I fix this?
[01:01] <Asc> ok, but i get " module not found"
[01:01] <fouadbajwa> and has a text box saying add hosts but adds nothing
[01:01] <Caleb> hi
[01:01] <Caleb> anybodu cam help me?
[01:01] <fouadbajwa> no help?
[01:01] <Asc> and " could not load L c:\\windows\\system\\installer.ece"
[01:02] <Asc> thats also error
[01:02] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, CTRL+ALT+F1 -- login .. and run this command -- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart -- then get back to the login screen via CTRL+ALT+F7
[01:02] <Vord> about 947 people could potentially help you, caleb
[01:02] <Caleb> jeje
[01:02] <Caleb> thanks
[01:02] <Caleb> sorry for my english but im spanish
[01:02] <Caleb> my problem is that i cant install nforce dirvers on ubuntu
[01:03] <un_operateur> Lynx-, why don't you run proFTPd as a normal daemon instead of through inetd?
[01:03] <Azul> !spanish
[01:03] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[01:03] <un_operateur> !nvidia | Caleb
[01:03] <ubotu> Caleb: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:03] <Lynx-> un_operateur, I use it rarely, and I want to minimize the usage of resources by various daemons
[01:04] <Caleb> i know the chanel in spanish but nobody know a solution and the drivers are for nforce (sound and ethernet)
[01:04] <un_operateur> Lynx-, but the way processes are scheduled proFTPd will remain sleeping most of the time when it's unused .. the usage will be very minimal
[01:05] <Caleb> and in nvidia.com the instructions dont work, almost i cant make it work
[01:05] <Onore_e_Gloria> hi
[01:05] <Lynx-> un_operateur, I turn on/off my PC frequently, and I don't like that unwanted programs are starting every time and slowing down the system's start
[01:06] <adop> Lynx-: have you edited you /etc/inetd.conf file?
[01:06] <bakert> @seen shapr
[01:07] <bakert> ?seen shapr
[01:07] <un_operateur> Lynx-, errm, where've you "cargo-culted" that notion from ? :)
[01:07] <un_operateur> Lynx-, in any case .. the errors you get indicate that inetd isnt invoking the proFTPd process right
[01:07] <Lynx-> adop, no, it was modified by the proftpd installation, and all seems to be ok: ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
[01:07] <Caleb> someone have nforce2 chipset?
[01:08] <Asc> last try: how do I write when I want wine to start d:\installer data\josefine.exe when d is the cdrom
[01:08] <fouadbajwa> un_operateur didnt work
[01:08] <Lynx-> I don't see any mistaked in the line :|
[01:08] <Lynx-> *mistakes
[01:08] <Alpha1> what's the best ubuntu app for ripping an audio cd into one biiig mp3 (instead of an mp3 for each track)
[01:08] <adaptr> Caleb: me, yes
[01:08] <Caleb> ok
[01:08] <un_operateur> Lynx-, what happens when you try the FTP client on the same machine -- ftp localhost ?
[01:08] <chavo> Caleb, me too
[01:08] <Azul> Alpha1, what's the point of ripping to one file?
[01:09] <Caleb> and you try to install the drivers?
[01:09] <Lynx-> 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
[01:09] <Caleb> im triying but the installer send me a error
[01:09] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, same situation?
[01:09] <adaptr> Caleb: no need to *try* - supported out of the box, both eth and sound
[01:09] <Lynx-> ,as I have already said
[01:09] <fouadbajwa> yeup
[01:09] <chavo> Caleb, no everything works
[01:09] <Asc> last try: how do I write when I want wine to start d:\installer data\josefine.exe when d is the cdrom
[01:10] <adaptr> Asc: no, the last time was your last try
[01:10] <Caleb> yes i know, but a read that it works
[01:10] <Asc> he he
[01:10] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, get back to the command prompt again and run this command -- sudo dpkg-recofigure -plow gdm
[01:10] <Caleb> in i need nvmixer for configure my sound
[01:10] <fouadbajwa> okay doing it
[01:11] <fouadbajwa> nothing, same problem
[01:11] <Lynx-> I tried to execute the daemon manually, and this is what I got:
[01:11] <Lynx-> [14:07]  root@Xel-Naga:/etc/init.d> /usr/sbin/proftpd
[01:11] <Lynx->  - IPv4 getaddrinfo 'Xel-Naga' error: Name or service not known
[01:11] <Lynx->  - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'Xel-Naga'
[01:11] <Lynx->  - error: no valid servers configured
[01:11] <Lynx->  - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
[01:11] <un_operateur> !paste | Lynx-
[01:11] <ubotu> Lynx-: paste 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)
[01:11] <adaptr> Lynx-: your hosts file is incorrect
[01:12] <fouadbajwa> isn't there any command prompt instructions to disable XDMCP
[01:12] <Lynx-> adaptr, what is the name of the hosts file?
[01:12] <all4n> hi all.. I'm having problem with my ubuntu server refusing to print jobs from the network, but prints nicely when I print locally. When I look at the cups admin page at localhost:631 it shows the jobs from the network users as completed but thats all.. no print. Any suggestions?
[01:12] <un_operateur> Lynx-, is Xel-Naga the name of your machine?
[01:12] <Lynx-> yes, it is
[01:12] <Caleb> if i can configure my 5.1 in with other thing
[01:12] <gma> fouadbajwa: haven't been following; is XDMCP running from gdm?
[01:12] <un_operateur> Lynx-, /etc/hosts  must contain a map for Xel-Naga then
[01:12] <Caleb> i try with ALSA but my center and LFE dont make nothing
[01:13] <Lynx-> ok, I shall try editing the file
[01:13] <un_operateur> Lynx-, also make sure that your proftpd.conf file reflects that the service needs to run under inetd
[01:13] <Caleb> because center/lfe are connected to the mic (the other connection is broken)
[01:13] <Lynx-> it is run througn inetd, I'm sure
[01:13] <un_operateur> Lynx-,  ServerType inetd   in proftpd.conf
[01:14] <xopher> How do I remove all traces of xubuntu, when switching to eg ubuntu?
[01:14] <Lynx-> /etc/hosts should contain following line: "127.0.0.1 Xel-Naga", is that correct?
[01:14] <fouadbajwa> Oo yo great users and admins of Ubuntu, please help me reclaim my ubuntu desktop, XDMCP has destroyed my life
[01:14] <burepe> does anyone know what file "RewriteBase /" is in, in apache?
[01:14] <adaptr> Lynx-: why use inetd at all ? xinetd is a lot easier to manage
[01:14] <gma> fouadbajwa: did you see my question?
[01:14] <ziggityzag> whats the shortcut to go to switch to command line from gui mode and back?
[01:14] <un_operateur> Lynx-, errm, better use the actual IP address there
[01:14] <gma> fouadbajwa: I asked if it was running from gdm
[01:14] <adaptr> burepe: file ? why not ask in #apache ?
[01:14] <Lynx-> adaptr, xinetd is consuming more resources
[01:15] <Lynx-> un_operateur, it's dynamic :)
[01:15] <adaptr> Lynx-: wow - yeah, must be 10KB more, at least :)
[01:15] <bjames> are there power saving features in Linux, specifically can I specify that individual hard drives will spin down if not used in say 10 minutes??
[01:15] <burepe> adaptr: because they do not know what the locations are for ubuntu
[01:15] <adaptr> burepe: do you mean where the configuration for it is ?
[01:15] <un_operateur> Lynx-, ok well, use 127.0.0.1 then
[01:15] <fouadbajwa> hi gma
[01:15] <mikelo> apt failed to upgrade a package now it keeps telling me i have updates
[01:16] <fouadbajwa> i am not sure if this is the answer but
[01:16] <Lynx-> Should I restart the machine after changing /etc/hosts?
[01:16] <DARKGuy> Is there a way to run a screensaver on display :0.1 without deactivating until mouse passes inside the display, but letting me work at :0.0 ?
[01:16] <Caleb> well, thanks
[01:16] <stockfisch> how can i find out whether an USB device is connected via 1.1 or 2.0?
[01:16] <fouadbajwa> i can see the desktop background but only this wierd screen
[01:16] <mikelo> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[01:16] <Azul> Lynx-, yes you do\
[01:16] <fouadbajwa> instead of a normal login environment in GUI
[01:16] <un_operateur> Lynx-, nope, just the networking service -- sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:16] <gma> ah
[01:16] <Lynx-> ok
[01:16] <bjames> anyone know about power save features in Linux??
[01:16] <burepe> adaptr: I mean, what file is that setting in? I have looked in httpd.conf and /sites-enabled/default
[01:16] <bjames> specifically HDD spindown
[01:16] <gma> fouadbajwa: why do you think xdmcp has anything to do with it (I think I missed the start of your questions)
[01:16] <ziggityzag> whats the shortcut to go to switch to console from gui mode and back?
[01:16] <adaptr> burepe: in a standard apache installation, it is nowhere
[01:17] <gouchi> Hi
[01:17] <T1> bjames: try the gnome power applet
[01:17] <Azul> can i input text and display it on a screen with ubuntu?
[01:17] <gma> ziggityzag: ctrl-alt-1
[01:17] <bjames> T1: I'm running a terminal only server distro
[01:17] <gouchi> I have done the update on edgy
[01:17] <stockfisch> bjames: no problem here with hdd spindown
[01:17] <gma> ziggityzag: ctrl-f7 to go back
[01:17] <ziggityzag> thanks
[01:17] <mikelo> ziggityzag: ctrl-alt-F1
[01:17] <pr0t0type> hi
[01:17] <DARKGuy> ziggityzag: control + alt + F1-F6 terminals, control + alt + F7-F12 for X windows (to go back)
[01:17] <un_operateur> burepe, usually that directive is not enabled by default -- but you can do this -- sudo grep -inHR rewrite /etc/apache2/*
[01:17] <adaptr> Azul: you mean on the desktop ?
[01:17] <T1> bjames: ah
[01:17] <gma> ziggityzag: yeah, I meant f1, not 1
[01:17] <gouchi> and when I try to login I can't I have this error on xsession-error
[01:17] <burepe> un_operateur: where can I put it?
[01:17] <Azul> adaptr, on any monitor terminal
[01:18] <pr0t0type> i need help with beryl... can somebody please tell me a good chan 4 help ??
[01:18] <adaptr> Azul: that woul dbe accomplished by.. typing in text, I think
[01:18] <gouchi> mkdtemp: private socket  dir :permission denied
[01:18] <Shin_Gouki> hello ATM im installing ubuntu on a live CD, using "manually partition" now i want to set flags, i have created 2 partitions: 1 10 GB ext3 and have set the "boot" flag, 2nd i created a 1,6 GB extended partition and make it linux swap  is this enough for ubuntu install ? or am i missing any flags/partitions?
[01:18] <burepe> un_operateur: sorry. thanks
[01:18] <T1> bjames: there will be a way.... i just dont know it :-D
[01:18] <DARKGuy> pr0t0type: #beryl
[01:18] <Azul> i want to be able to input text using an input device like a keyboard, and get it displayed on a monitor device
[01:18] <neuratix> what's up with firefox not having any sound if i run rhythmbox, and rhythmbox not having any sound if i run firefox? (probably something with the device being locked, but how do i fix this?)
[01:18] <un_operateur> burepe, errm, you can put it in httpd.conf/apache.conf or one of the config files for a virtual-site in /etc/apache?/sites-enabled/*
[01:18] <pr0t0type> lol thx DARKGuy
[01:18] <gouchi> any idea how to fix it ?
[01:18] <mikelo> apt failed to upgrade a package now it keeps telling me i have updates
[01:18] <adaptr> Azul: not a clue what you mean - Linux will do that by default, just log in
[01:18] <Lynx-> wow, it works :) thanks to all
[01:18] <DARKGuy> pr0t0type: welcome :P
[01:18] <un_operateur> burepe, use the apache core documentation -- it's got cleaner notes
[01:18] <burepe> un_operateur: thanks
[01:19] <fouadbajwa> does this mean nothing on XDMCP, i know this seems not to be a very common problem
[01:19] <neuratix> what's up with firefox not having any sound if i run rhythmbox, and rhythmbox not having any sound if i run firefox? (probably something with the device being locked, but how do i fix this?)
[01:19] <Lynx-> I've got another question: is a network name containing ' symbol valid?
[01:19] <fouadbajwa> hey, there is a way to force your way into the GUI without a login screen
[01:19] <fouadbajwa> xstart or what
[01:19] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: there is ?
[01:19] <gma> fouadbajwa: I'm afraid I'm not really sure what your situation is, so can't offer too much help. (you're thinking of startx)
[01:19] <adop> Shin_Gouki: Should be
[01:19] <gma> fouadbajwa: but to run startx you need to be at a text console
[01:19] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: yes, log in on a console then type startx
[01:19] <constrictor> how do i export evolution contacts so that thunderbird can import them?
[01:19] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, yes -- disable the gdm service - log in from the command prompt and issue the startx command
[01:19] <fouadbajwa> but it happens when you are logged in as sudo in the terminal window
[01:19] <Azul> adaptr, thank you for your help.. i'll try contacting my local help support for this feature
[01:20] <Shin_Gouki> adop : ok what are those other flags for? lba  or lvm??? thx for reply by the  way
[01:20] <adaptr> Azul: I hope you'll have better luck explaining it there :)
[01:20] <fouadbajwa> startx
[01:20] <DARKGuy> fouadbajwa: maybe you want to just remove the login screen? you can't, Linux works with logins (unless there's some auto login feature?)
[01:20] <adaptr> DARKGuy: no, and yes
[01:20] <Azul> lol, thanks
[01:20] <un_operateur> DARKGuy, you can stop GDM by  /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:20] <fouadbajwa> but gives me an error that the server is already active for display 0
[01:20] <gma> DARKGuy: there's an auto login option with gdm
[01:20] <adop> Shin_Gouki: lba is what you want
[01:20] <DARKGuy> gma: right
[01:21] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: then stop X first
[01:21] <fouadbajwa> DARKGut
[01:21] <fouadbajwa> DARKGuy no, thats not what i mean
[01:21] <Shin_Gouki> adop , lba for swap?
[01:21] <DARKGuy> yes, but stopping gdm would stop X too, or so it does here :/
[01:21] <DARKGuy> Oh
[01:21] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, CTRL+ALT+F1 .. login .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; startx
[01:21] <fouadbajwa> instead of a login something else is showing up at login
[01:21] <gma> fouadbajwa: what do you see when X is running? is it garbled, or is there something on the screen?
[01:21] <mikelo> apt failed to upgrade a package: dpkg returned error 10, the post-removal script didnt work
[01:21] <gma> fouadbajwa: can you describe the 'something else'?
[01:21] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: did you restart X ? there should always be a session menu on the logon screen
[01:22] <fouadbajwa> un_operator, i am in now
[01:22] <adaptr> mikelo: have you read the apt log ?
[01:22] <fouadbajwa> what should i do to turn that stuff off
[01:22] <un_operateur> gma, he's was messing about with gdmsetup and now all he gets is an XDMCP prompt not the usual login prompt
[01:22] <mikelo> adaptr: how do i read that?
[01:22] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: go to system -> administration -> login window
[01:22] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, did you login the desktop then?
[01:22] <fouadbajwa> but i am in as a root
[01:22] <tim167> bash command question: copy every file in a folder and subfolders to a new location UNLESS file is called "*.avi" OR "*.wav", recreating the folderstructure ! anyone ? thanks!
[01:22] <fouadbajwa> but in a different desktop
[01:22] <adop> Shin_Gouki: no don't get confused just click next
[01:23] <gma> un_operateur: cheers, all is clear
[01:23] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, errm, please logon normally -- exit root
[01:23] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: then log back out and run startx as user
[01:23] <fouadbajwa> how should i disable all XDMCP
[01:23] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: you've been told
[01:23] <fouadbajwa> the command you gave me sends me in as a root
[01:23] <mikelo> adaptr: less /etc/apt/ something?
[01:23] <fouadbajwa> admin
[01:23] <fouadbajwa> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; startx
[01:23] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, errm, the command i gave you should have startx running as you not root
[01:24] <adaptr> mikelo: /var/log/dpkg.log
[01:24] <un_operateur> yea, that only sudoes gdm stop .. not startx
[01:24] <fouadbajwa> nopes
[01:24] <fouadbajwa> and btw, the commands have to be run as sudo
[01:24] <gma> fouadbajwa: startx will start X as the current user, so if you're logged in as admin/root then you'll run X as admin or root
[01:24] <fouadbajwa> no?
[01:24] <gma> don't run startx as sudo
[01:24] <gma> just the /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:24] <Spee_Der> Can anyone suggest an xorg.conf for the nvidia ge force 5200 dual head in ubuntu v6.06 dapper  drake please. I'm about googled out.....
[01:24] <fouadbajwa> okay lemme try this again
[01:24] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, startx wasnt run as root there.. sheesh
[01:25] <adaptr> Spee_Der: I( have one right here, no dual display, but that's the easy part
[01:25] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, and no, it does not need to be run as root
[01:25] <mikelo> adaptr: last line reads  "status half-installed wpasupplicant 0.5.5-3v1ubuntu4"
[01:25] <adaptr> mikelo: and you want to get rid if it ?
[01:25] <fouadbajwa> sorry trying as a simple user
[01:25] <mikelo> adaptr: i'd like to fully install it...
[01:26] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, in any case -- you need to configure the login screen again and undo the setting you set -- at a terminal -- sudo gdmsetup
[01:26] <adaptr> mikelo: you could start by running apt-get clean.. oh
[01:26] <Spee_Der> adaptr: Well, I almost got the bloody thing working as dual head. The 2nd monitor was all garbage, which was a good indication it might just work.....
[01:26] <adaptr> mikelo: there should at least be some message as to why it did not complete
[01:26] <adaptr> Spee_Der: paste the config
[01:26] <mikelo> adaptr: apt failed to upgrade a package: dpkg returned error 10, the post-removal script didnt work
[01:26] <fouadbajwa> okay now that brought me back to my ubuntu life
[01:26] <leo1> hi
[01:27] <bjames> is there possibly a way of making Linux (Ubuntu) store the file table in RAM and only spin up the HDD when a user starts navigating a SAMBA share?
[01:27] <fouadbajwa> i am back on the user but how do i permanently disable this xd crap
[01:27] <diane> testing, testing ... hello.
[01:27] <bjames> (is this a stupid question?)
[01:27] <Azul> that's too deep
[01:27] <Rookie-1> bjames - sounds like you want a ramdrive ...
[01:27] <mikelo> adaptr: i'll figure it out i like these challanges ;-)
[01:28] <gma> diane: hey, it works!
[01:28] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, in any case -- you need to configure the login screen again and undo the setting you set -- at a terminal -- sudo gdmsetup
[01:28] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: *you have been told* - it might help if you read what people tell you
[01:28] <bjames> Rookie1: sort of
[01:28] <mikelo> adaptr: even though they're stupid ones hahah
[01:28] <zhenggc> .close
[01:28] <fouadbajwa> you mean go into gdmsetup?
[01:28] <fouadbajwa> right
[01:28] <bjames> Rookie1: from my experience it's not quit the right thing though
[01:28] <gma> fouadbajwa: er, I think he might
[01:29] <diane> Great, it works. Can someone help me mount a slave drive?
[01:29] <fouadbajwa> it says failed to connect to socket and then Could not access GDM Configuration File
[01:29] <adaptr> gconf is not running, then
[01:29] <fouadbajwa> and when i go through the administration into the login option, it doesn't load the login options
[01:29] <Azul> mount /dev/<slave drive> /media/<mount point>
[01:29] <zoddan> Hi, i was wondering, does Ubuntu has support fr 64-bit?
[01:29] <ubunt> i want a salon french please
[01:29] <adaptr> sudo /etc/init.d/gconfd start
[01:29] <bjames> zoddan: yes
[01:29] <zoddan> for
[01:29] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: ^^^
[01:29] <zoddan> ok
[01:29] <un_operateur> !fr
[01:29] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[01:29] <DARKGuy> !fr | ubunt
[01:29] <ubotu> ubunt: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[01:30] <zoddan> bjames: right from the Default LiveCD?
[01:30] <bjames> zoddan: there are 64 bit downloads on the ubuntu website www.ubuntu.com
[01:30] <gma> diane: do you have the drive plugged in, partitioned and formatted already?
[01:30] <zoddan> bjames: ok
[01:30] <bjames> zoddan: it depends what live CD you have
[01:30] <Spee_Der> Good morning DARK, how you been ?
[01:30] <bjames> zoddan: I imagine if it came from a magazine it would be 32 bit only
[01:30] <diane> Azul: When I run that command I get this: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[01:30] <Rookie-1> bjames - sounds like the old times when it was more common with less ram/cpu then it is today ;) but i think it is possible to do what you asking for but im not the right one to guide you to it since i dont know it exactly howto ...
[01:31] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, what were you doing last before you "screwed up"?
[01:31] <Spee_Der> adaptr: I'm waiting for pastbin to accept the upload.
[01:31] <bjames> zoddan: best thing to do is download a new image and burn it to CD from the website
[01:31] <Spee_Der> adaptr: http://pastebin.com/858932
[01:31] <fouadbajwa> i just installed Novell Suse server
[01:31] <adaptr> Spee_Der: please don't use pastebin - there are way better ones
[01:31] <fouadbajwa> and nothing else
[01:31] <adaptr> Spee_Der: pastebin is da fsck-up; it's near-dead
[01:31] <Azul> diane, do fdisk -l and see if it detected your hard drive
[01:31] <fouadbajwa> and then i logged in Ubuntu after wards
[01:31] <Spee_Der> Ok, your reccomedation please ?
[01:31] <adaptr> !paste | Spee_Der

[01:31] <bjames> Rookie1: well the file server has 320GB of files, so I doubt I could mirror that with ram, lol
[01:32] <fouadbajwa> and one day this silly screen popped up and only today have i seen my desktop screen after so many days
[01:32] <adaptr> and tehre is also a very fast one in .de
[01:32] <Spee_Der> Ok, thanks. Will try that insteead.
[01:32] <adaptr> anybody have the URL for the .de pastebin in his head ?
[01:32] <adaptr> that is bleedin fast
[01:32] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, makes me wonder if you put suse on it's own partitions ?
[01:32] <Revellion> anyone in here use apt-cacher?
[01:33] <adaptr> !apt-cacher
[01:33] <diane> Azul: Yes, it detects it. Here is the output. (I want to mount hdb2)

[01:33] <adaptr> oh fer gods sake
[01:33] <un_operateur> bahh some people ..
[01:33] <fouadbajwa> nice one adaptr but these problems just pop up
[01:34] <fouadbajwa> and anything can happen with anyone
[01:34] <adaptr> diane: don't do that again - you will get kicked
[01:34] <diane> OK, I won't. Sorry.
[01:34] <fouadbajwa> like right now i can't launch the login administration window
[01:34] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, did you run the dpkg-reconfigure command i gave you?
[01:34] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: that is a fact of life, yes - but the panic in which you try to "deal" with them makes all the difference
[01:34] <fouadbajwa> can u please paste the command here again?
[01:34] <Azul> diane, i'm not sure what Linux LVM is
[01:35] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm
[01:35] <gma> LVM is Linux Volume Manager
[01:35] <Rookie-1> !lvm
[01:35] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:35] <Azul> gma, is it a partition type?
[01:35] <fouadbajwa> un_operator, it failed
[01:35] <gma> I wouldn't like to say if it's also a partition type, but it's for making multiple partitions appear as one
[01:35] <diane> OK, thanks. Let me try those links. I'll be back in a minute.
[01:35] <un_operateur> Azul, it's a "virtual" partition .. it aggregates other physical partitions together
[01:36] <gma> will require the lvm tools to mount it
[01:36] <all4n> window show 1
[01:36] <all4n> oops sorry
[01:36] <fouadbajwa> action "reload" failed
[01:36] <Spee_Der> adaptr: I tried to paste it there, but it is not going. The server is mad with me I guess. . .
[01:36] <Azul> diane, i find this is too complicated for me.. sorry
[01:36] <adaptr> Spee_Der: heh I'm still waiting for pastebin to show :)
[01:36] <Spee_Der> ok
[01:36] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, can you !pastebin the exact error please?
[01:37] <Spee_Der> adaptr: I had another issue. It has to do with .Xauthority not allowing me to save the edited xorg.conf file after editing. grrr. frustrating.
[01:37] <fouadbajwa> its this:
[01:37] <Spee_Der> adaptr: So, I had to re-boot and go with the default (backup) xorg.conf file.
[01:38] <un_operateur> Spee_Der, you sure you editing the file as the superuser?
[01:38] <diane> gma: What LVM tools do I need and where do I get them?
[01:38] <gma> diane: they may be installed. hang on...
[01:38] <adaptr> Spee_Der: you only have one monitor section, and no multi-head screen layout ?
[01:38] <fouadbajwa> Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration....
[01:38] <fouadbajwa> Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended
[01:38] <fouadbajwa> invoke - rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.
[01:39] <gma> diane: what does 'dpkg -l lvm-common' tell you?
[01:39] <Spee_Der> adaptr: At the moment. One monitor working. Screen 0. It will not see Screen1 when I edit the file.
[01:39] <Spee_Der> un_operateur: Yes. I was using 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:39] <diane> gma: 'No packages found matching lvm-common.'
[01:39] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, issue this next -- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   --- and then press a CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
[01:40] <gma> right
[01:40] <humbolto> There is a problem with installing AIGLX on dapper following the beryl howto.
[01:40] <gma> diane: I'm just reading the howto; it's ages since I've used lvm
[01:40] <humbolto> The dri-modules are not available for the latest kernel.
[01:40] <gma> diane: where did you get the disk from? is it out of another of your computers?
[01:40] <Spee_Der> un_operateur: But, when I re-start X, I get the error message for .Xauthority.
[01:40] <fouadbajwa> hey
[01:40] <fouadbajwa> i just got this CLi window saying
[01:41] <gma> diane: I'm just wondering if there are multiple partitions involved in the virtual disk
[01:41] <Spee_Der> I don't to use Twinview or any other similir program.
[01:41] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, dont paste here
[01:41] <fouadbajwa> there already appeares to be an xserver running on display:0
[01:41] <diane> It's my old hard drive. I was running FC4 on it. I've jumpered / installed that drive as a slave. Now I'd like to mount it.
[01:41] <fouadbajwa> should i ht yes or no
[01:41] <Spee_Der> I managed to get this working in Ubuntu 6.06 while using the Matrox G450 dual head video card with help from the #ubuntu group.
[01:41] <Guerra> guys! why should i use ubuntu and not fedora. tell me ;)
[01:41] <gma> right
[01:42] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, errm, wherre are you getting this? after what action you did?
[01:42] <fouadbajwa> i typed this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   --- and then before  CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE got the messagfe
[01:42] <Spee_Der> Guerra: I prefer Ubuntu Dapper Drake v6.06 LTS
[01:42] <un_operateur> Guerra, you should use ubuntu to answer that question :)
[01:42] <gma> diane: right. from your paste it looks like there was only one partition involved, which simplifies it
[01:42] <fouadbajwa> guess, what, the same old screen is back
[01:42] <fouadbajwa> :)
[01:43] <fouadbajwa> XDMCP
[01:43] <diane> gma: Glad to hear it "simplifies it." I've been Googling this for the past two hours!
[01:43] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, restart the machine, see what happens
[01:43] <gma> diane: bear with me a bit while I do some reading
[01:44] <fouadbajwa> restarting it, just a moment
[01:44] <Guerra> why ubuntu and not fedora? (or another dist)
[01:44] <diane> gma: I can't believe mounting a linux fs as a slave could be so difficult.
[01:44] <Spee_Der> Guerra: Ubuntu seems to have the best support group going. LTS = Long Term Support.
[01:45] <un_operateur> Spee_Der, that's only if you use an LTS distro
[01:45] <gma> diane: if it was a normal filesystem it'd be easy
[01:45] <Guerra> hmm, but i don't really care about support, i'm able to fix everything myself (most)
[01:45] <Spee_Der> Guerra: Fedora is a fine version, don't get me wrong. It is just my opinion on Ubuntu is all.
[01:45] <gma> diane: fedora have complicated matters by using LVM when it wasn't required (unless it was a manual choice, I've never used fedora so don't know)
[01:45] <Guerra> i'm using fedora right now
[01:45] <Spee_Der> un_operateur: True, yess. Which I have on several computers.
[01:45] <gma> diane: found a potentially useful link: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipemovevgtonewsys.html
[01:45] <Guerra> what about the package manager?
[01:45] <gdb> oh, hi, Guerra
[01:45] <cableroy_> hi i have a sound fusion car, alsa finds it, its a surround card, but i get sound on only one channel.. thats ok i'm going to run 2.1 but the sound is sooo low, trying to turn it up and the sound get verry crappy, can someone help me with this?
[01:46] <fouadbajwa> un_operator, after booting same old window :(
[01:46] <Guerra> (i was not going to troll, i'm just interested in ubuntu, since fedora sometime disappoints me)
[01:46] <diane> gma: I'll take a look at the link. Thanks....
[01:46] <gdb> then there's your reason to try it
[01:47] <gdb> i switched to ubuntu from fedora back in may
[01:47] <Guerra> and how was it? good?
[01:47] <gma> diane: I think the pvscan command could be handy
[01:47] <gma> diane: which version of fedora was it? I'm wondering if it was lvm1 or lvm2 that it used...
[01:47] <Guerra> i'm using core 6 right now
[01:47] <un_operateur> I switched from fedora when i noticed my hair going grey
[01:47] <gma> diane: we'll need to know so that we install the right lvm tools
[01:48] <el-sio> hello there
[01:48] <Guerra> fedora fails when it comes to codecs, what about ubuntu?
[01:48] <diane> It is version lvm2
[01:48] <gdb> it "fails"?
[01:49] <kevin> Is there any specific place I can enter my WEP key to connect to my router? I've had a look in system>admin>networking but there's nothing there for it
[01:49] <Guerra> well, when you install fedora, you're not able to play a simple MPG movie
[01:49] <un_operateur> fouadbajwa, errm, CTRL+ALT+F1 - login - sudo sh -c "/etc/init.d/gdm stop; dpkg --force-depends -r --purge gdm; aptitude install gdm"
[01:49] <Guerra> you have to install them manually
[01:49] <fouadbajwa> un_operator, the same old window is back sigh
[01:49] <gdb> no you don't
[01:49] <fouadbajwa> lemme try the new one
[01:49] <gdb> set up livna and just install them with yum
[01:49] <Guerra> yup..
[01:49] <gdb> they can help you with that in #fedora
[01:49] <Guerra> it didn't work out of the box
[01:49] <Guerra> i fixed it, that's not the problem ;)
[01:50] <Guerra> but what i want to know, is: how difficult is it to get codecs to work on an ubuntu system?
[01:50] <gdb> it doesn't work "out of the box" on *any* linux distro save, IIRC, linspire (which you pay for)
[01:50] <Guerra> suse does
[01:50] <xipietotec> are there zero ops around today?
[01:50] <Guerra> (not opensuse)
[01:50] <gdb> again, you pay for it
[01:50] <un_operateur> Guerra, the situation exists with ubuntu too .. and its relatively easier to get things working on ubuntu than it is on fedora
[01:50] <Guerra> but suse is paid of course..
[01:50] <gdb> right, because you are buying that software
[01:51] <gdb> the proprietary stuff that doesn't come in a "normal" distribution
[01:51] <Guerra> (or illegaly downloading it.. =)
[01:51] <Guerra> hmm ok ok
[01:51] <Guerra> but
[01:51] <Guerra> ubuntu is based on debian, right?
[01:51] <gdb> yes, it is
[01:51] <un_operateur> Guerra, correct
[01:51] <gdb> I have come to prefer debian package management over rpm.
[01:52] <gdb> I still think srpms > deb source packages
[01:52] <el-sio> need help with a soundcard on a vaio...
[01:52] <Guerra> i heard it was really easy to install packages
[01:52] <un_operateur> Guerra, correct again :)
[01:52] <gdb> but in terms of managing binary packages, i do feel debian's way is superior
[01:52] <el-sio> Sigmatel CXD9872RD...
[01:52] <diane> gma: When I run pvscan I get 'command not found.'
[01:52] <gma> diane: right
[01:52] <gma> diane: you haven't got the lvm tools yet
[01:52] <Guerra> are there enough packages available?
[01:52] <el-sio> I tried the tutorials, compiled alsa, read the forums even the bugreports
[01:52] <gma> diane: I was wondering which version of fedora you had
[01:52] <el-sio> but no solution there fixed my problem
[01:53] <gma> diane: so we can work out which version of lvm they used (1 or 2)
[01:53] <gma> diane: then we can install pvscan
[01:53] <el-sio> my ubuntu is still deaf and mute
[01:53] <Guerra> if i need some exotic package for my sound card, would it be there, or would i have to start compiling myself?
[01:53] <el-sio> :/
[01:53] <gdb> There's about 17000 packages in the Ubuntu archives so yes, I'd say there's a lot there.
[01:53] <diane> gvm: It is lvm2
[01:53] <Guerra> that's nice =)
[01:53] <un_operateur> gdb, well comparing rpm to apt-get is not really a fair comparison -- rpm, it's more like dpkg -- yum on the other hand does the equivalent of apt-get, but as you said, yum doesnt fare as well
[01:53] <gma> diane: okay, cool
[01:53] <Guerra> i think i'll give it a try
[01:53] <fouadbajwa> un_operator its doing some updates, since i am in south asia, the internet is bit slow so bear with me
[01:53] <gdb> I'm not comparing apt-get to rpm.
[01:53] <gma> diane: try 'sudo apt-get install lvm2'
[01:54] <Guerra> well, i'm going to install ubuntu now
[01:54] <gdb> I'm talking about the actual manipulation of packages via dpkg vs. rpm.
[01:54] <Guerra> later!
[01:54] <gdb> I get your point, and it's a diffrence that's lost on many.
[01:54] <kevin> Is there any specific place I can enter my WEP key to connect to my router? I've had a look in system>admin>networking but there's nothing there for it
[01:54] <gdb> I do feel that rpm's command line options are saner than dpkg's but you get used to it.
[01:55] <gma> kevin: there is probably a more friendly way, but I stuck it in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:55] <diane> gma: OK, it's installed.
[01:55] <Burnass> for the wep dus dubbeltap on your wlan card in >system>admin>networking
[01:55] <marlun> Can I use to monitors in Ubuntu? I've got a laptop and would like to connect my other monitor to it and use both of them at the same time. Right now I connected the other monitor but then my laptop screen went black and the resolution is wrong on this screen.
[01:55] <gma> diane: you should now have pvscan
[01:55] <un_operateur> gdb, yea, it's one thing about APT i dont like -- the very many command line utilities and their very many obscure options
[01:55] <marlun> to = two
[01:56] <diane> gma: when I run the pvscan command I get the following: No program "pvscan" found for your current version of LVM
[01:56] <gma> oh
[01:56] <luna> heloo
[01:56] <gma> diane: perhaps it's setup to use lvm1
[01:56] <luna> wtf
[01:56] <luna> ???
[01:56] <luna> who is this
[01:57] <gma> diane: you could try installing the lvm10 package
[01:57] <Burnass> ? who are you ;)
[01:57] <gma> diane: (which is for v1, not v10)
[01:57] <luna> i just disconnected
[01:57] <luna> helo

[01:59] <gma> diane: yeah, we're not ready for that yet (unless you've run a load of lvm commands first)
[01:59] <trymmi> Aha.
[01:59] <gma> diane: did you install lvm10  and re-run pvscan ?
[01:59] <gma> diane: if not, try it
[01:59] <diane> gma: I'm installing it now.
[02:00] <gma> gma: did it suggest you install kernel-image-2.4? (it did for me when I just tried it)
[02:00] <gma> diane: did it suggest you install kernel-image-2.4? (it did for me when I just tried it)

[02:00] <ffed> Hey there.......... how to change bash/irssi config to use ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 ?
[02:01] <gma> diane:  I wonder if there might be an easier way around this problem...
[02:01] <gma> diane: do you have enough free space on your ubuntu drive for all the data you want off your slave drive?
[02:01] <diane> gma: Yes, more than enough.
[02:01] <ffed> ubotu: ISO-8859-1
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ISO-8859-1 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <ffed> ubotu: utf8
[02:01] <gma> diane: is your slave drive a bootable fedora install?
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about utf8 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:02] <unclemike> ? in 6.10 the updates icon beside the clock at the top of the screen is telling me i have 91 updates..but it wont install them..everytime i click install updates..it says check for updates..and that all it does
[02:02] <un_operateur> ffed, you probably want !locales
[02:02] <diane> gma: Yes, it's bootable. But there's a problem with the video driver. It boots but I see nothing but white noise on the screen.
[02:02] <gma> diane: could you boot it up in single user mode and just login at a text console?
[02:03] <diane> gma: I could, if you tell me how. Could I then ftp my data somewhere?
[02:03] <gma> diane: what I'm thinking is that the safest way for you to get this data back, without risking losing anything, will be to boot into fedora, mount ubuntu's disk from fedora and then copy the stuff over
[02:03] <gma> diane: you could just mount ubuntu from fedora
[02:03] <gma> diane: because ubuntu defaults to using a sane and simple filesystem, which fedora will hav eno problem mounting
[02:04] <diane> gma: OK, I'm following you. What must I do? Re-jumper my drives?
[02:04] <gma> diane: I think it'll be safer as I can't test what you're about to do to your precious data, given that I don't have an FC4 LVM partition to try it on first
[02:04] <gma> diane: I think so, yes
[02:04] <marcell> I can't play sound in firefox. I tried to watch youtube. It seems to be something is using my soundcard, but nothing is running now...
[02:04] <diane> gma: OK, how do I boot into single-user mode and what are the commands to mount ubuntu?
[02:05] <Rprp> Hmm, if im gaming my sound comes 3sec later, killed esd etc, but its not working, how can i fix i? ;[

[02:05] <ubotu> matthias: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[02:05] <gma> diane: single user mode can be achieved by typing 'single' at the lilo prompt
[02:06] <gma> diane: or does fc4 use grub?
[02:06] <diane> gma: I can't remember if it's grup or lilo.
[02:06] <K|NgGh0sT> So who here is the Nvidia/Xorg god? and can help me
[02:06] <gma> diane: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rescuemode-booting-single.html
[02:06] <gma> diane: not sure if the version of red hat is anything close, but the principles should be the same
[02:06] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: what's the problem ?
[02:07] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, upon a power failure and a reboot, X wouldnt load, and then when I try to reconfigure the xorg.conf it wont detect my video card...
[02:08] <gma> diane: ignore the bit about boot disks, it'll be different with LVM, but the grub and lilo instructions on where to type 'single' look good to me
[02:08] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: can you load the liveCD ?
[02:08] <K|NgGh0sT> I got it to sorta work by reinstalling the Nvidia drivers, it loads the Nvidia screen and then the screen just goes blank
[02:08] <gma> diane: then let me know when it's booted/not worked
[02:08] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: xorg.conf doesn't *detect* anything - that's why you have to configure it
[02:08] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, I dont have a livecd here at the moment
[02:08] <thomas_> servus
[02:08] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: you don't have the install CD ?
[02:08] <diane> gma: OK, I've printed out that page. Looks good. One more thing: What mount options do I use to mount my Ubuntu 6.10 fs? Is it ext3?
[02:08] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, I mean dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:08] <pr0t0type> what is the command to see what hdd i want to mount ?
[02:09] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, nope
[02:09] <kevin> gma: what, exactly, should I put into /etc/network/interfces for it to see my WEP key? I tried 'wireless-key [key] ', along with the SSID and encryption type specified the same way under auto eth0, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything.
[02:09] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: oh, well that never works.. do you have the nvidia binary driver installed ?
[02:09] <gma> kevin: I've got mine here
[02:10] <K|NgGh0sT> I have the nvidia-glx drivers
[02:10] <diane> gma: Thanks for all your help.
[02:10] <gma> kevin: underneath 'iface eth1 inet dhcp' I've got two indented lines...
[02:10] <gma> diane: np
[02:10] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: and what do you mean by "deosn't detect" - it doesn't write *any* data in xorg.conf ? if so, what does it write in the Device section ?
[02:10] <fouadbajwa> un_operator are you there?
[02:10] <gma> kevin: wireless-essid <name>
[02:10] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: that's not what I meant - the binary nvidia kernel drivers are needed first
[02:10] <gma> kevin: wireless-key <key>

[02:10] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf

[02:10] <demmbatz-xchat> j #ppoe
[02:10] <fouadbajwa> un_operator
[02:11] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, X server wont autodetect which card I have, I have to set it up manually, but I dont think I'm doing it right
[02:11] <fouadbajwa> i ran the commands and it did some upgrades and
[02:11] <fouadbajwa> still same error
[02:12] <ffed> un_operateur: thanx
[02:12] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: I assumed so, yes :) well, then - is the nvidia driver loaded ? lsmod | grep nvidia
[02:13] <gma> kevin: does your card support NetworkManager? I've never used it, but it looks like it might simplify it
[02:13] <gma> kevin: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[02:14] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, yea it is
[02:14] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: okay, step two: what *is* in the video card device section in the new xorg.conf ?
[02:14] <K|NgGh0sT> gma, but for the xorg.conf it does have the video card as PCI:02 and it is an AGP...
[02:14] <K|NgGh0sT> er
[02:14] <K|NgGh0sT> that was for adaptr
[02:15] <K|NgGh0sT>         Driver          "nvidia"
[02:15] <K|NgGh0sT>         BusID           "PCI:2:0:0"
[02:15] <dcordes> i have problems running the game Far Cry with wine. a script that was created by a loki installer should start it, but when i try to run it i get the following error: "25: Syntax error: Bad substitution" here is the script: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1545/ i would appreaciate a lot if someone could take a look at it
[02:16] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: remove the busid line, it's not usually necessary, and it may be what's causing problems now
[02:16] <matthias> hi i need a package which is installed but i dont know were, i thought there is a toole like which but i didn't find it
[02:16] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: all I have in my device section is the nvidia driver line, and a name (which is arbitrary)
[02:16] <K|NgGh0sT> One sec
[02:17] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: next, you must have the glx module loaded in Xorg - the modules section is at the top of the file
[02:17] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, it is
[02:17] <dodo_> hi
[02:18] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: okay, now what happens when you save the file and start the X server ?
[02:18] <erUSUL> dcordes: change the first line of the script to #!/bin/bash
[02:18] <adaptr> ohhh #! is such a cool channel
[02:18] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, same X crap
[02:18] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: make sense please - what happens
[02:19] <adaptr> !crap
[02:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:19] <adaptr> you see ?
[02:19] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, it tries to load X, starts the nvidia screen for a split second, then goes blank and crashes
[02:19] <erUSUL> dcordes: if you do not want this to happen again make bash de default 'sh' with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' (answer no)
[02:20] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: okay, can you post the output of lspci | grep NV ?
[02:20] <erUSUL> dcordes: like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1546/

[02:20] <Zaggynl> This is odd, NeroLinux can burn at 16x, but k3b cannot :/
[02:20] <MrMary> i have a script question if anyone is feeling conginial.
[02:20] <fastly> what is the best program to manage my wifi connections?
[02:20] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, hundred times
[02:20] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: so it's not a 5200, is it :)
[02:20] <fastly> in ubuntu / gnome
[02:21] <K|NgGh0sT> Never said it was ;)
[02:21] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: you may need the legacy drivers, but I use the normal ones, and my 5200 works just fine
[02:21] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: okay, time to look at the xorg logs
[02:21] <K|NgGh0sT> Well, it worked like two days ago
[02:21] <K|NgGh0sT> In the Xorg log there is no EE's
[02:21] <adaptr> yeah, whatever
[02:21] <adaptr> what is there, then ? what's the last line ?
[02:22] <K|NgGh0sT> http://pastebin.ca/316275
[02:22] <Enverex> Erm, I installed UT2004 from the DVD but when I try and install any of the addons or expansion packs it says "You must install UT2004 before running this program"
[02:22] <Enverex> Am I missing something?
[02:23] <dcordes> erUSUL: i still get the same error. how am i supposed to launch the script?
[02:24] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: please comment out the "dri" and "drm" modules - they have no place in an nvidia config
[02:24] <K|NgGh0sT> drm isnt a mod
[02:25] <adaptr> #

[02:25] <adaptr> #
[02:25] <adaptr> (II) LoadModule: "drm"
[02:25] <MrMary>  i was wondering if it would be possible to have a script mount a directory then execute a program, then when the program ends, unmount the directory
[02:25] <K|NgGh0sT> well, its not in xorg.conf
[02:25] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: likely, if you remove "dri" then drm will be gone as well
[02:25] <adaptr> drm depends on dri
[02:26] <boguh> hi, i want to add partitions to /etc/fstab. normally i did this by adding just the devicename, but in now there are lines beginning wiht UUID=.... . So how to add a new mountpount?
[02:26] <adaptr> but please just do it - you want to get on with it I suppose
[02:26] <jrib> !uuid | boguh
[02:26] <ubotu> boguh: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[02:26] <erUSUL> dcordes: if using bash does not solve the problem i can only asume that the script has syntax errors. sorry i can not debug this further
[02:26] <jrib> boguh: you can still use the old method too if you ant
[02:26] <adaptr> boguh: the same way you would normally do it - the UUID bit is simpl the way ubuntu uses to be able to recognise its own partitions, regardless of whether the disk IDs have changed
[02:27] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, No change in X
[02:27] <Enverex> Is there any way of installing/setting a GTK1 theme in Ubuntu so old GTK1 apps don't look quite so crap?
[02:27] <adaptr> boguh: UUID enables Ubuntu to mount / even when the disks have been swapped around
[02:27] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: dri removed, but still crashing ?
[02:27] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, yeah
[02:28] <boguh> jrib adaptr afer running this command my console has strange characters
[02:28] <K|NgGh0sT> I do have a pid for  4274 tty7     00:00:00 XKeepsCrashing
[02:28] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: then I would strace Xorg - run this from a console: sudo strace X (startx may or may not work, as that's a script)
[02:29] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: yes, xorg starts that when it detects more than 3 crashes in a row, or something
[02:29] <habeeb> Hello.I would like to find a way to completely block access to a website. Both to my computer and to a macintosh laptop I have.
[02:29] <K|NgGh0sT> I ran strace x
[02:29] <adaptr> but I would need more immediate data from X at the point where it crashes
[02:29] <fenrig> how can i mount iso to let wine think its a cd?
[02:29] <adaptr> habeeb: do you mean from a browser ?
[02:30] <fenrig> ?
[02:30] <fastly> i installed network-manager and network-manager-gnome... does anyone here know where to find the applet?
[02:30] <boguh> and blkid does not show me the device
[02:30] <habeeb> adaptr: ye.
[02:30] <adaptr> habeeb: and the web site is a public one ?
[02:30] <habeeb> adaptr: yes
[02:30] <jrib> boguh: maybe the labels have strange characters in them and mess up your terminal
[02:31] <habeeb> adaptr: the two computers cant be simultaneously in the PC. You have to remove the ethernet cable from one and plug it to the other, to work.
[02:31] <adaptr> habeeb: redirect the web site to 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts file - works for the Mac as well, if it runs OSX
[02:31] <boguh> jrib but /dev/hdb is still missing
[02:31] <adaptr> habeeb: muh ?
[02:31] <Tomcat_> fastly: /usr/bin/nm-applet
[02:31] <fenrig> how can i mount a iso?
[02:31] <Tomcat_> fastly: But if you installed it, it will automatically start the next time you log in.
[02:31] <habeeb> adaptr: if I change my /etc/hosts, it will have effect in the mac pc as well? :/
[02:31] <adaptr> fenrig: use a loop mount
[02:31] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, I dont even understand how this isnt even working, should I remove all of KDE and X and reinstall it?
[02:31] <fastly> cool
[02:32] <adaptr> habeeb: the Mac also has an etc/hosts file, if it runs OSX
[02:32] <fastly> thankws
[02:32] <habeeb> adaptr: it does.
[02:32] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: you run Kubuntu ?
[02:32] <habeeb> Isnt there a way to do it in this pc, and have effect to the other too? Like from the modem page (192.168.1.1)?
[02:32] <adaptr> or, well, "try to run"....
[02:32] <adaptr> habeeb: no
[02:32] <habeeb> adaptr: i see.
[02:32] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, yeah
[02:32] <adaptr> habeeb: well, if the modem allows you to eidt hosts
[02:33] <adaptr> habeeb: just point the web site to a non-existent IP, like 10.0.0.1
[02:33] <adaptr> habeeb: can you add host names in the modem/router ?
[02:33] <habeeb> I dont know adaptr :/ Its a ZTE modem. I'll try to find out.
[02:33] <jrib> boguh: I'm not sure why it would be missing.  Why not just use the old method then if you don't need the uuid's?
[02:34] <Enverex> Is there any way of installing/setting a GTK1 theme in Ubuntu so old GTK1 apps don't look quite so bad?
[02:34] <boguh> jrib used the old method, worked fine, thx a lot
[02:34] <habeeb> adaptr: do you know the option it might be in?
[02:34] <adaptr> fenrig: did you see my message at all?
[02:34] <jjlee> Is there a repository that has a libdvdcss2 .deb for dapper?
[02:35] <adaptr> habeeb: how would I know how your modem works ? it should be in the manual
[02:35] <habeeb> my manual... right... :P
[02:35] <melon> any suggestions for a decent torrent program (bittorrent usually does the job - but i need something that extracts single files from the torrent like most others)
[02:35] <melon> ?
[02:35] <habeeb> btw, Kubuntu Feisty will come out with KDE4?
[02:36] <jrib> boguh: sudo vol_id -u /dev/foo     should work too in case you want to try
[02:36] <milaks> Hi. Because I was not satisfied with speed in Ubuntu (comparing to Windows XP) I've installed kubuntu-desktop, but still is it normal if kmail starts in 4-5 secs and for exmaple FireFoox start in about 10-15 secs on machine with AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor and 2 GB of RAM?
[02:36] <eamusic> hello every body
[02:36] <diskus> melon: well, azureus is one
[02:36] <jjlee> milaks: are you running under gnome or kde?
[02:37] <jjlee> KDE, I assume?
[02:37] <milaks> Now, on KDE but it's basicaly Ubuntu with kubuntu-desktop installed
[02:37] <melon> am using utorrent right now.. which is running at half my normal dl speed - "apparently" azureus does the same thing - it's odd..
[02:37] <eamusic> who can help me?... i need to uninstall a program..
[02:37] <milaks> Does it make any drastical differences in speed?
[02:37] <jjlee> dunno then.  5 secs sounds slow, but I don't use kmail
[02:37] <jrib> eamusic: how did you install it?
[02:38] <jjlee> certainly firefox is very slow to start up wherever I use it
[02:38] <eamusic> i installed quake3... but it didnt work
[02:38] <jjlee> pine is pretty quick to start, but you may not like it!
[02:38] <milaks> jjlee: When I start FireFox with almost same extensions, it starts almost instanteniously but on Ubuntu it takes up to 10 or 15 secs.
[02:39] <jjlee> milaks: you mean on windows?
[02:39] <milaks> jjlee: yes
[02:39] <melon> heh - firefox didn't work for me on windows - one of 1507 reasons why windows was shown the door
[02:39] <jjlee> shrug.  It's pretty slow to start on my Windows machine at work
[02:39] <HolyLiaison> melon, I recommend Ktorrent.
[02:39] <milaks> jjlee: almost everything in windows is about five times faster than in Ubuntu
[02:39] <fenrig> mount -o loop doesnt work
[02:39] <adaptr> milaks: KDE is slower than Gnome in general; do you have a decent HD ?
[02:39] <melon> thanks HolyLiaison - i'll go check it out right now :)
[02:40] <jjlee> milaks: faster to start, or faster to use?
[02:40] <adaptr> milaks: Windows uses agressive preload mechanisms to provide you with the *illusion* of speed
[02:40] <ltibor65> Hi everybody! I want to share the folders between a desktop and a laptop computer. I have a linksys router and I installed samba on both machines. How to configure smb.conf to allow the sharing across the router?
[02:40] <boguh> my sound is playing too fast, whats wrong?? for example mp3s with xmms and the startup sound
[02:40] <zak> adaptr: kde is slower than gnome? that's HIGHLY disputable
[02:40] <adaptr> ltibor65: you don't ? what does the router have to do with it ?
[02:41] <adaptr> zak: it always has been for me
[02:41] <milaks> adaptr: KDE is slower than Gnome? I've installed KDE because Gnome was too slow for me, and I thought since it uses C# and other... and KDE is in "pure" C+ it would be faser.
[02:41] <jjlee> is everybody here too shy to confess where they got libdvdcss from?
[02:41] <milaks> adaptr: Yes my HD is new
[02:41] <adaptr> !libdvdcss
[02:41] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:41] <K|NgGh0sT> adaptr, any idea?
[02:41] <alecjw> milaks: kde is usually slower than gnome, but i think that you cna disable sonme advanced features to speed it up
[02:41] <zak> adaptr: the opposite here... especially in memory usage... but that's not to say gnome is incredibly slow/memory hungry
[02:41] <adaptr> milaks: that wasna the question - I asked if it were *decent*, i.e. fast
[02:41] <milaks> jjlee: I think both, but starting is more obvious
[02:42] <milaks> adaptr: yes it is
[02:42] <adaptr> K|NgGh0sT: without more data, hard to say, I'm afraid... I would advise you to start up in safe mode, see if X will actually start at all
[02:42] <adaptr> milaks: so it's a Raptor, then :)
[02:42] <milaks> alecjw: How can I do that? Disablin some services in KDE Control Center?
[02:42] <K|NgGh0sT> It wont, no matter what
[02:42] <milaks> adaptr: I don't understand you quite well. It's Maxtor with 160 GB capacity
[02:42] <adaptr> milaks: that won't make a big difference, no
[02:43] <jrib> eamusic: did the game have any sort of documentation?
[02:43] <ltibor65> adaptr, what shall I configure in smb.conf. I never used samba before.
[02:43] <adaptr> milaks: have you looked at the system load app while you find it slow ?
[02:43] <adaptr> ltibor65: do you want to share directories from/to both machines, or just from one to the other ?
[02:43] <adaptr> ltibor65: note that you never have to - one share can be accessed by both machines, so only one machine has to run the samba server
[02:44] <milaks> Also system (ubuntu) starting is much slower than Windows. Windows starts in about 10secs, and Ubuntu takes about 1 min.
[02:44] <milaks> adaptr: Yes of course :)
[02:44] <alecjw> milaks: i'm not sure. i'm more a gnome guy. last time i tried out kde, it gave me a slider so i could slect what special effects iwwnated
[02:44] <adaptr> milaks: my windows takes over a minute to start, and it's over a year old.. Ubuntu will still take a minute to start a year from now
[02:44] <steelb> what do i put in my fstab file to make it mount an ext3 HD called "sda1" at bootup??
[02:44] <adaptr> !mount
[02:44] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[02:45] <K|NgGh0sT> Thanks anyways
[02:45] <milaks> alecjw: But still you must agree that those effects hame little effects on machine with athlon 3000+ processor and 2 GB of RAM
[02:45] <jrib> !fstab | steelb
[02:45] <ubotu> steelb: 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
[02:45] <ltibor65> adaptr , I want to share certain folders of both machines.
[02:45] <jjlee> adaptr: Thanks, but libdvdcss2 is no longer available from that repo -- gives a 404 not found
[02:45] <steelb> thanks
[02:45] <milaks> adaptr: ?
[02:45] <adaptr> ltibor65: okay, then fill in the same workgroup name in both configs, and add the directories you want to share - copy one of the templates in the sample config
[02:46] <milaks> adaptr: Ok, but it's generalu too slow
[02:46] <alecjw> milaks: nope, imusn't becuase i've never used anyhting asnywhere near that powerful :D
[02:46] <MrMary> if said application writes to a hard coded dir, is it possible to mount a more convieniant directory in its place for the application to write to?
[02:46] <adaptr> milaks: then I guess you'res tuck with Windows :) have you run Beryl yet ?
[02:46] <milaks> alecjw: :)
[02:46] <zak> milaks: my general experience is that linux boots slower than windows [until windows almost inevitibly becomes slower and clogged up with pointless crapware] ... but for me it more than makes up for it in general responsiveness and speed
[02:46] <milaks> adaptr: Beryl?
[02:46] <adaptr> MrMary: of course - the application doesn't know it's writing to a symlink
[02:46] <adaptr> !beryl
[02:46] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[02:47] <adaptr> milaks: don't try to judge between WIndoze and Ubuntu until you've seen beryl
[02:47] <milaks> zak: That is what I am confused about.
[02:47] <milaks> adaptr: Excuse me, but what is Beryl :)
[02:47] <milaks> adaptr: new version of Ubuntu?
[02:47] <adaptr> milaks: you said you did run the system load meter, so find out what is making it so "slow"
[02:47] <MrMary> tnx adaptr
[02:48] <Enverex> Is there any way of installing/setting a GTK1 theme in Ubuntu so old GTK1 apps don't look quite so bad?
[02:48] <eamusic> Beryl= its a cool 3d desktop whit amazing effects!
[02:48] <bluet> how do i make ubuntu forward packets between two interfaces?
[02:49] <milaks> I've had athlon thunderbird on 1 GHz, with 512 MB of RAM with Ubuntu Dapper Drake, and now on athlon 3000+ with 2 GB of ram, Edgy Eft runs almost as slow as Dapper was.
[02:49] <milaks> adaptr: you didnt told me what beryl is? :)
[02:49] <wick2o> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.7.0 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[02:49] <wick2o> something like that
[02:49] <milaks> adaptr: And, when I run `top` no program is using more than (at most) 1% of CPU
[02:49] <eamusic> milaks: Beryl= its a cool 3d desktop whit amazing effects
[02:49] <wick2o> o and echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[02:50] <zak> milaks: i find that windows is far less scalable than linux - that is, speed is about the same when you have very little running [and windows may start applications faster] , but under heavy load, windows tends to handle much worse than linux - i tend to have upwards of 20 windows open [firefox, editors, terminals, irc, msn, media player]  when i'm busy on linux - and on a fairly low 220mb of ram, it's quite managable - but on windows, it's both har
[02:50] <zak> d to manage that many windows, and slow
[02:50] <milaks> eamusic:  Sorry, is beryl desktop environment like KDE or Gnome, are it just ads some special effects? Personaly I'm not very fond of unuseful stuff on my screen :)
[02:50] <unimatrix9> milaks, and you are taliking about an hard disk installation?
[02:50] <covOPprometheus> I have an interesting problem here: When I want to switch to CLI (with Ctrl+F1-F6) I get an odd colored glitch; same thing happens shutting the computer down. It doesn't get stuck at any moment, as I can switch back to GUI. I have an ati radeon x1600 using the 'X.Org X server ATI display driver'.
[02:51] <bluet> wick2o: how about if they're on the same subnet?
[02:51] <unimatrix9> milaks beryl is eyecandy, would slow things donw even more
[02:51] <milaks> unimatrix9: yes, of course
[02:51] <wick2o> i dont think it matters if they are on the same subnet or not
[02:51] <wick2o> or sorry that -s should be -s 10.0.7.0/16
[02:51] <milaks> unimatrix9: than it's not for me :) Thanks for info.
[02:52] <wick2o> or /subnet
[02:52] <_3lj> does anyone know the terminal command that will open up the network management page from the gnome menu in ubuntu? (the one to enter wifi details onto?)
[02:52] <wick2o> my bad with the typo
[02:52] <unimatrix9> milaks : do you have high ends video cards in these systems?
[02:52] <unimatrix9> and how do you notice that things are slow, wich apps?
[02:53] <milaks> unimatrix9: I have Nvidia 6200 TurboCache PCI-E with 128 MB
[02:53] <wick2o> bluet: take a look at iptables, i dont think have HAVE to specifiy an ip/subnet...you could do ALL ips/subnets
[02:53] <bluet> let's say i have 10.0.0.101 on eth1, connected to my lan, and 10.0.0.2 on eth0, connected to another computer. what exactly do i tell iptables to do to let the other computer access my lan
[02:53] <unimatrix9> cool vid card, should be fine yes
[02:53] <bluet> *
[02:53] <milaks> unimatrix9: almost any apps. Its not what you would expect on machine like this
[02:53] <bluet> ?
[02:53] <unimatrix9> true thats why i ask...
[02:54] <wick2o> depends, what is the subnet?
[02:54] <milaks> I've been thinking about installing ubuntu version for AMD64 processor, but people here told me that I would have some other compatibility problems.
[02:54] <gma> bluet: you need to put those two cards on different subnets first
[02:54] <bluet> 10.0.0.0/24
[02:54] <bluet> okay
[02:54] <bluet> so 192.168.0.0/24 on eth0 for example?
[02:54] <phreak_> this is probably the wrong place to ask, but i'll do it anyway - does anyone know how to create FTP-accounts for proftpd through Webmin?
[02:54] <Jordan_U> milaks: Everything you can do in 32 bit Ubuntu you can do in 64 bit Ubuntu, it is just easier for some things to use 32 bit
[02:55] <wick2o> bluet: umm your still not makeing much sense, why are you using different nics and not a switch?
[02:55] <gma> bluet: could do, yes (but I'd pick 192.168.1.0/24)
[02:55] <unimatrix9> we have an amd64 running at the computer club , no problems with it there...( linux mandriva though )
[02:55] <zak> milaks: cpu speed is rarely related to desktop responsiveness, loading times, etc. [that's more a matter of RAM and disk speed] ... upgrading ram and cpu will not make anything start [much]  faster - and it will only really make a noticeable difference with memory or cpu intensive applications, and/or when running a lot of crap
[02:55] <S2AnGeL> why is root so weird.. how comes ubuntu changed that..  Is there a special reson..
[02:55] <bluet> sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
[02:55] <bluet> like that?
[02:55] <Jordan_U> unimatrix9: Try installing flash :)
[02:55] <jrib> !root | S2AnGeL
[02:55] <ubotu> S2AnGeL: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:55] <milaks> Jordan_U: Yes but people told me that not every app is available for 64-bit version, like flash plugin for example
[02:55] <wick2o> id try a iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.101/24 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[02:55] <gma> bluet: if it's only a temporary setup, yes
[02:56] <Atom-> phreak_ proftpd doesnt operate with accounts
[02:56] <Atom-> the accounts are from the linux itself
[02:56] <Jordan_U> milaks: Yes, but they can be made to work using a 32bit chroot
[02:56] <wick2o> you MIGHT have to do another iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0. -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE or something to get it to work both ways
[02:56] <eamusic> milaks: check this out, and youl whats beryl: http://fredcpp.wordpress.com/2006/09/29/instalar-beryl-en-ubuntu/
[02:56] <Atom-> when you make a new user
[02:56] <wick2o> but honestly, if everything in on the same subnet your better off just using a switch
[02:56] <milaks> zak: I have a new model HD Maxtor disk and 2 GB Kingston RAM
[02:56] <eamusic> it in spanish
[02:56] <S2AnGeL> I know what root is..   but wht did ubuntu change it so its sorta there but you use youer user pass here and there.. just seems wrong.. I been a debian user for years and I just can't get my head past that
[02:57] <bluet> okay, now xl0 (the nic in my other computer) is 192.168.1.2 and the nic in my laptop (bridge) is 192.168.1.1
[02:57] <Jordan_U> milaks: But if you are new to Linux you probably don't want to have to mess with a chroot
[02:57] <phreak_> Atom-, okay. is there any server that does? or can i create new linux accounts from Webmin?
[02:57] <christopher_l> I installed another OS and in Bootup I cant choose Ubuntu anymore, is it gone? How can I check if it still there?
[02:57] <_3lj> found it, network-admin ... cheers all
[02:57] <unimatrix9> milaks wich mother board is this? on the 3000 one
[02:57] <phreak_> i don't want to give them access to ssh.

[02:57] <milaks> Jordan_U: I've been using Slackware for a relatively long time, but still it doesnt sound too good for me to use chroot only for those apps, it's a bit messy :)
[02:58] <Atom-> phreak_: create them in webmin yes, then use that to chroot the user to there space
[02:58] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Hi. My Mozilla Firefox keeps being automatically updated to a series of 1.5.X releases, but it never gets updated to version 2.0. WHy is that, what do I need to change in my settings for it to do that automatically, and how can I do it manually? 'sudo apt-get upgrade firefox'?
[02:58] <gma> bluet: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/NAT-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.1
[02:58] <gma> that section may be all you need
[02:58] <milaks> unimatrix9: it's MSI nvidia nForce k8
[02:58] <eamusic> i need to unistall quake3. i installed with sh command. help me please
[02:58] <gma> bluet: substitute interface names accordingly
[02:58] <Jordan_U> Gizmo_the_Great1: You need to enable the !backports repository
[02:59] <wick2o> this beryl looks interesting
[02:59] <tscherno> hi@all
[02:59] <Atom-> phreak_: check on the webmin help pages, it gives you enough detail to get you started, also check the proftpd pages too
[02:59] <Jordan_U> !hi
[02:59] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:59] <bluet> gma: thanks
[02:59] <wick2o> but kinda pointless unless linux is your full time desktop and you HAVE TO HAVE weird grafix
[02:59] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Jordan_U: thanks - via synatpic? by editing the repositories?
[02:59] <phreak_> Atom-, okay. thanks
[02:59] <gma> bluet: np
[02:59] <milaks> Is it possible that CPU power scalling ("powernow" on AMD processors) has anything to do with this slow down? I've disabled some services but still...
[02:59] <Jordan_U> Gizmo_the_Great1: Yes.
[02:59] <Nielsken> xtknight?
[02:59] <tscherno> can someone tell me where the Desktop Icons are saved (High Contrast Theme)?
[03:00] <eamusic> milaks: did u see what beryl is?
[03:00] <unimatrix9> i think so , yes, is this a laptop?
[03:00] <gerst> what should I do with this error..   checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[03:00] <milaks> eamusic: yes, thanks for the adrress. No, it's definitely not for my taste :)
[03:00] <gma> gerst: stick it into google?
[03:00] <milaks> unimatrix9: no
[03:00] <milaks> unimatrix9: its a desktop
[03:00] <gerst> i`ve found nothing intresting :D
[03:00] <erUSUL> !b-e | gerst
[03:00] <ubotu> gerst: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:01] <unimatrix9> hmm, but it has got cpu freq scaling?
[03:01] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Jordan_U: thanks - but I cannot see Backports? All the options are ticked (I using Edgy) - how do I enable !backports?
[03:01] <wick2o> beryl looks good if your into the new "vista" stuff
[03:01] <milaks> unimatrix9: but still I've disabled all that has to do with it (I guess).
[03:01] <gerst> thx ..I`ll try
[03:01] <milaks> unimatrix9: yes
[03:01] <Jordan_U> !backports | Gizmo_the_Great1
[03:01] <erUSUL> gerst: install build-essential
[03:01] <ubotu> Gizmo_the_Great1: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[03:01] <eamusic> jrib: are u there?
[03:01] <wick2o> I DO like how you can flip roll into your different desktop windows, but the other animations seem a waste of resources
[03:02] <gerst> Thanks
[03:02] <milaks> unimatrix9: I've added manually `rmmod cpufreq_powersave` in /etc/rc.local so `lsmod|grep -i power` gives nothing

[03:02] <Jordan_U> wick2o: It is not like you are doing much else with your GPU for the most part though
[03:02] <jrib> eamusic: yes
[03:02] <wick2o> Jordan_U: but you dont really know that
[03:03] <unimatrix9> might have to do with your exotic config, for ubuntu unkown and its just using generic in some way, or the harddrives are not accelerated
[03:03] <eamusic> jrib: is there some command to uninstall that game?
[03:03] <unimatrix9> uname -a en /cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:03] <unimatrix9> info on cpu
[03:04] <xmal> cpu!?
[03:04] <tscherno> Can someone tell me the path of the Desktop icons?
[03:04] <unimatrix9> sudo lspci
[03:05] <zak> tscherno: the files on your desktop? or the icons used to represent file types?
[03:05] <milaks> unimatrix9: no, everything is fine
[03:05] <jrib> eamusic: you just ran some random binary right?  If so, then it depends entirely on what the makers chose.  If there isn't a switch you can add to the install command, then just delete the folder it installed to
[03:05] <milaks> One straight question: honestly is Gnome faster than KDE?
[03:05] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! Everytime I have started my computer I need to open a terminal and run 'sudo dhclient' to be able to get out on the internet... is there anyway to fix this?
[03:05] <unimatrix9> yes, gnome is faster
[03:05] <phreak_> is there any non web-based GUI for managing apache, creating sites and such? im not that familiar with apaches conf-file yet.
[03:06] <Jordan_U> milaks: It probably depends on the themes / settings used in either
[03:06] <unimatrix9> even faster, but harder to work with, fluxbox, window maker
[03:06] <milaks> Jordan_U: But generaly?
[03:07] <unimatrix9> i would say gnome, but who am i...
[03:07] <unimatrix9> :P
[03:07] <milaks> :)
[03:07] <Nielsken> I've just downloaded a driver for my wifi usb adapter, is there a install manager? I don't know which file to open
[03:07] <milaks> One more thing
[03:07] <semi-fly> phreak_, try this site: http://www.apache-tools.com/search.jsp?category=Configurator&headerlf2=Configurator&no_head=1
[03:07] <milaks> When I've isntalled Ubuntu with `dmesg|grep -i power`
[03:08] <milaks> I got: some errors about powernow-k8
[03:08] <milaks> But now it says:powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.60.2)
[03:08] <milaks> and stuff :)
[03:08] <milaks> although powernow module is not loaded
[03:08] <zak> milaks: i'd like to dispute the claim that gnome is faster. compare them for yourself - i've heard many stories from both sides.
[03:08] <phreak_> semi-fly: ok. thanks!
[03:09] <semi-fly> phreak_, ;) np!
[03:09] <eamusic> jrib: ok
[03:09] <Nielsken> I've just downloaded a driver for my wifi usb adapter, is there a install manager? I don't know which file to open. Thx
[03:09] <milaks> zak: thanks zak. I've notice for example that fast window size changing (with cursor) is much slower in response in Gnome.
[03:10] <milaks> but that's a minor one :)
[03:10] <phreak_> semi-fly: uhm, seems like none of those links works?
[03:10] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Where did you get the driver from /what card?
[03:10] <higiraven> im getting this error while compiling beryl from svn
[03:10] <higiraven> autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf

[03:10] <higiraven>       See the Autoconf documentation.
[03:10] <unimatrix9> i tested many windows managers, even waimea, the choice is also related to how, and what you do on the desktop
[03:10] <higiraven> does anyone know how to fix it?
[03:10] <zak> milaks: i'm always on low end hardware, and i notice the ups and downs of both of them... kde is slower in some ways for me, gnome is slower in some ways... gnome is faster at dragging the nice translucent selection boxes over files, as another minor example :)
[03:11] <Jordan_U> higiraven: #beryl
[03:11] <higiraven> oops sorry
[03:11] <cokeslut> hello
[03:11] <modern> Hello
[03:11] <Nielsken> its a air live Turbo G wt-2000usb stick
[03:11] <Nielsken> it's a linux druver of the owner website
[03:11] <semi-fly> phreak_: hmmm, strange: google Comanche, Apache configuration tool - that might still be around
[03:11] <Nielsken> driver*
[03:11] <milaks> zak: thanks again zak, you're probably right, I have to see myself :)
[03:12] <Nielsken> but I'm noob at linux/ubuntu
[03:12] <zak> milaks: and a year or two back, i tried both gnome and kde on a pentium 200 with 64mb ram, and found gnome to be almost unusable, but kde [while still slow on such crap hardware]  much better... but there's always another side to every story :)
[03:12] <milaks> Can someone please tell me when is next version of Ubuntu is expected to come out?
[03:13] <Jordan_U> !feisty
[03:13] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[03:13] <milaks> Thanks
[03:13] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Is it a tar.gz file?
[03:13] <Nielsken> indeed
[03:13] <zak> milaks: rox filer [minimalistic file manager]  plus a small window manager like icewm, fluxbox, etc. will give you much better performance than kde or gnome, but at the cost of configurability/features/eye candy/etc.
[03:14] <higiraven> why isnt it a Wifi Manager in GNOME such as http://gtkwifi.sourceforge.net/
[03:14] <higiraven> ?
[03:14] <mabus> zak: uh... less configurability in fluxbox? :/
[03:14] <seshomaru> hi , anyone knows how to uninstall easyubuntu?
[03:14] <mabus> I think not.
[03:14] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Ok, you will need to compile from source then, which is a hard first task for somebody new to linux :)
[03:14] <semi-fly> flux is highly customizable
[03:15] <milaks> zak: :) It's bellow my dignity to use those on a machine with Athlon 3000+ and 2GB RAM :))

[03:15] <cntb> how to bring ipv4 back?
[03:15] <Nielsken> Jordan_U if you can help me true, I will try
[03:15] <cokeslut> fun
[03:15] <unimatrix9> higraven ; there  is an network manager in the config section of ubuntu, wich works a bit like the one you pointed at..
[03:16] <unimatrix9> for now you will have to work with that, untill better times...
[03:16] <unimatrix9> :)
[03:16] <higiraven> unimatrix9, what is it called?
[03:16] <cntb> unimatrix9:  ? answer for me ?
[03:16] <milaks> Thanks for your effor guys. At least, I may try the "good" ol' Windows way for speeding things a little bit: reinstalling Ubuntu :))
[03:16] <Nielsken> how can I fast put your name in my message
[03:16] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: First off, lets be sure that you actually don't have a working driver yet, what have you tried to get wireless working?
[03:16] <unimatrix9> higigraven, just rightclick the network manager on the gnome menu
[03:17] <semi-fly> speeding what things up for windows? lol?

[03:17] <ubotu> Nielsken: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[03:17] <zak> milaks: it'd be hard to notice any difference between gnome and kde on a machine like that anyway, i'd imagine :) even on my 220mb/1.6ghz they both feel more or less the same... it's more the other applications you use really... firefox vs. mozilla vs. opera, openoffice vs. abiword vs. koffice, etc.
[03:17] <hemant> i got from forums that i need 2.6.19. how i get it?
[03:17] <unimatrix9> higigraven, it does see networks, when you choose config, and take an existing network, then sometimes others shows up
[03:18] <unimatrix9> higigraven, but its not like netstumbler no...
[03:18] <higiraven> i cannot find that :S
[03:18] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: I've tried to install it
[03:18] <Nielsken> just double clicked some files
[03:18] <Nielsken> but no changes
[03:18] <unimatrix9> higigraven, it also depends on your type of network card...
[03:18] <higiraven> ok thanks
[03:18] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: I mean, how did you set it up in network-manager ?
[03:19] <unimatrix9> higigraven, its not prefect yet, i know, lets hope that it will get better in the future, my thought too!
[03:19] <unimatrix9> :P
[03:19] <Nielsken> when you put the stick in then I can see in network manager that he knows there is a wireless
[03:19] <higiraven> ok thanks!
[03:20] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: is that what you mean
[03:20] <unimatrix9> ps : if you use pcmcia network card eject it with sudo cardctl eject
[03:20] <unimatrix9> if needed...
[03:21] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Yes, did you click properties and enter the network name ( SSID ) ?
[03:21] <Enverex> Is there any way of installing/setting a GTK1 theme in Ubuntu so old GTK1 apps don't look quite so bad?
[03:22] <moshe> hello, folks
[03:22] <Nielsken> yes
[03:22] <Nielsken> but I goes away when I put the stick out
[03:22] <unimatrix9> Envenerx, you mean the fonts look off?
[03:22] <Nielsken> it*
[03:22] <boguh> how can i move my homedirectory to a different partition?
[03:22] <moshe> has anyone here ever compiled the rt73 driver?
[03:22] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Does it connect successfully though?
[03:22] <Nielsken> nope
[03:23] <Enverex> unimatrix9, No, well, fonts aren't aliased for a start but I mean none of it has any theme to it, also try to get my name right else I wont notice you speaking to me
[03:23] <imc_> Hi, having gxine problems; got a DVD from region 2 and gxine crashes fast and quiet whenever I try to play it
[03:23] <imc_> It's a kids' video
[03:23] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: the led of the stick is not bruning and I don't have a conection or I can't find any
[03:24] <imc_> anyone know where gxine logs complaints? /var/log/messages is empty of references
[03:24] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Ok, can you connect with ethernet temporarily to install a program?
[03:24] <Nielsken> yes
[03:24] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: I'm on my laptop now whit ubuntu wired
[03:25] <unimatrix9> Enverex : ok, well cant help there...
[03:25] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Enable the universe repository and install network-manager-gnome ( from synaptic )
[03:25] <Jordan_U> imc_: Do you have libdvdcss installed?
[03:25] <jrib> boguh: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46866
[03:25] <imc_> Jordan_U yes
[03:25] <imc_> and I was able to play other vids.
[03:26] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: where can I find that?
[03:26] <imc_> The disk is good as I played it on a dvd player in Germany so I know it works (even if it were bad, gxine shouldn't just quietly crash, right?)
[03:26] <Remo_A> hi all. Is it possible to have multiple bluetooth clients at the same time? like a mouse and a telephone data stream?
[03:26] <Remo_A> telephone = cell ;)
[03:26] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[03:26] <jrib> imc_: did you run gxine from a terminal?
[03:27] <imc_> jrib, no, lemme try that
[03:28] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Then from within Synaptic go to Settings -> Repositories and check the box next to universe
[03:29] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: check or uncheck
[03:29] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: check
[03:29] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: it was already
[03:29] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Ok, good
[03:31] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Now close the Software Sources windows and search for network-manager-gnome
[03:31] <dm> anyone here know about GTKwifi project?
[03:31] <semi-fly> Grrr, cats knocking over the trash bin makes me mad...
[03:32] <h-bomb> hi, i have somehow screwed up my sudoers file, i am now in recovery mode, what is the format to add myself back in so i can sudo again
[03:32] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: downloading
[03:33] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: done
[03:34] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: now disable wireless in System -> Administration -> networking so network-manager can handle it instead
[03:34] <Nielsken> no wireless networking checked
[03:34] <Nielsken> the stick can stay in?
[03:34] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Yes
[03:35] <Nielsken> ok
[03:35] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Now hit alt+F1 or open a terminal and run nm-applet
[03:35] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: nm?
[03:36] <Jordan_U> Nielsken: Yes
[03:36] <Nielsken> Jordan_U: don't got it, is that command
[03:36] <Nielsken> (noob overhere)
[03:37] <SzArAk> hello

[03:51] <wolfwalker> Basically, I'm a linux newb, I like knoppix, but I can't figure out how to install it on my computer
[03:52] <higltypig> thanks erUSUL i'll read that through

[04:08] <makuseru> 1024x768
[04:09] <Revellion> makuseru: what monitor you got?
[04:09] <pexi> makusero, i think you need the fglrx drivers for ati
[04:09] <Revellion> pexi: should'nt be needed
[04:09] <vanberge> can anybody tell me what package gives this module:  libc.so.6   ?

[04:10] <Revellion> makuseru: grep "Driver" /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:10] <makuseru> i had a higher resolution on my other graphics card
[04:10] <Revellion> makuseru: see if ya got the vesa or radeon driver enabled
[04:10] <makuseru> what?
[04:10] <makuseru> radeon
[04:10] <Revellion> hmm
[04:10] <pexi> ok, maybe the problem y the configuration in you xorg.conf
[04:10] <Revellion> makuseru: vintage and dimensions of the monitor?
[04:10] <pexi> maybe the refresh rate
[04:10] <Revellion> cause it's possible the radeon driver is reading the EDID info
[04:10] <makuseru> umm, iono how old 15'
[04:10] <Revellion> and decided that 1024x768 is what the monitor is rated to go at max
[04:10] <makuseru> not to old
[04:11] <makuseru> no clue what it goes to
[04:11] <Revellion> to get higher
[04:11] <Revellion> you could try disabling DDC
[04:11] <Revellion> in xorg.conf
[04:11] <Revellion> and define the resolutions yourself
[04:11] <makuseru> but i know i can get at least one bigger because i did on my other graphics card
[04:11] <makuseru> it is in there, and i did

[04:17] <Amadeo> So, 3 days later, I still can't get my refresh rates to work correctly :P
[04:17] <j2daosh> i cant pipe it because then they wont be next to each other which is better for readability
[04:17] <gma> j2daosh: you mean with cut?
[04:17] <j2daosh> cut -f$ -d'$'
[04:17] <swami> i type very slow
[04:17] <gma> j2daosh: what does -f$ do?
[04:17] <modern> ok
[04:17] <j2daosh> im grepping thru a file for certain instances of a variable, i want to only print field 1 and field 5 of the file
[04:18] <jrib> j2daosh: use awk
[04:18] <gma> cut -f 1,5 should do it then
[04:18] <amorphous_> does anyone know how to edit/view my print queue using a gui? i'm using cups, but pt doesn't show the print queue... is there another gui I can use that will show it?
[04:18] <j2daosh> ok let me try that
[04:18] <gma> j2daosh: otherwise, I agree with jrib, awk is just the job
[04:19] <jrib> yeah I think 1,5 should work with cut as well
[04:19] <erUSUL> j2daosh: awk '/regexp/ {print $1,$5}' < file.txt

[04:26] <hairulfr> But yes, and it's 5000000 better tha expos

[04:28] <Math^> jrib, here's the problem: I've installed something called like 'aquamarine', and have uninstalled it... but now, there's a new option in beryl, an option to switch in KDE mode, but I'm just using Beryl/Gnome... So Im searching for a config file to remove this extra option in Beryl
[04:28] <hairulfr> willytell: Hm, im om edgy, bu try www.ubuntuguide.org, it's prett easy t install
[04:29] <RandomDude16> ok
[04:29] <RandomDude16> is there a program
[04:29] <RandomDude16> where I can convert stuff
[04:29] <RandomDude16> to ipod video?
[04:29] <willytell_> hairulfr, I'm following those pages.... thanks!

According to lspci, 0000:00:09.0 is my tg3 network device. After about 5-6 hours my system crashes with a kernel panic, claiming something about tg3 device. What's wrong?
[04:30] <Math^> jrib, ok
[04:30] <Math^> most things (settings) are just in the home folder?
[04:30] <EmxBA> hi!
[04:30] <knight> will there be any problem if i install a 64 bit os and 32 bit os on same 64 bit computer?
[04:30] <jrib> Math^: all local user settings should be
[04:30] <RandomDude16> they have a source
[04:30] <EmxBA> knight, it will be OK if you make two partitions
[04:31] <Math^> jrib, but I switched to another user, and there it was also, the new option
[04:31] <RandomDude16> knight: o
[04:31] <RandomDude16> *no
[04:31] <RandomDude16> I've done it before
[04:31] <Math^> jrib, so I thought... maybe its not in the home folder
[04:31] <knight> EmxBA: thank you
[04:31] <starx> anyone has some information about running xen in hvm on thinkpad x60?
[04:31] <erUSUL> hid3: you hit a kernel bug... report it
[04:31] <jrib> Math^: yeah you're probably right, but search inside the beryl folders, not all of /
[04:31] <EmxBA> knight, so, make two partitions and one will contain x86 system, other will be 64bit

[04:35] <gma> logout, then (from text console) type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:35] <gma> then see if it behaves like it used to

[04:40] <xiq> greg_: if you have bluetooth working, install ussp-push. if you send over an mp3, it should recognise it and put it in the right place on the phone.. somehow. on my phone it appears as an incoming multimedia message.
[04:40] <mcsetty> gma: thanks again ill let you know if that works
[04:40] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound in edgy?

[04:44] <Beay> Can someone help me with ndiswrapper, please.
[04:44] <verve> i installed nvidia-glx and tried enabling it like it said how to, and it said: Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[04:44] <verve> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[04:44] <ubuntux> Beay, yeah, if it doesnt suck, then i will use it
[04:45] <PriceChild> !Beay, have you followed a howto on the wiki?
[04:45] <ubuntux> Beay, if you have a nice job where you  have to work with a lot of documents created in ms office, then open office sure sucks
[04:45] <DanglyBits> ExxKA: can i use k3b?
[04:45] <Beay> I tried,
[04:46] <ExxKA> DanglyBits sure
[04:46] <Nielsken> wijnand: can't follow

[04:46] <wijnand> Nielsken: why not?
[04:46] <Fivesheep> hi, guys... could anyone give me a hand? i am looking for a command-line tool which could convert text files (c sources, html..etc) to images (png) with hightlighting supports..
[04:46] <Nielsken> that was a command?
[04:46] <verve> anyone?
[04:46] <Beay> I can't seem to compile the source.
[04:46] <wijnand> Nielsken: yes
[04:46] <Nielsken> k
[04:47] <Nielsken> wijnand: ls -la  /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[04:47] <mcsetty> gma: same error sayings gdm isn't my default desktop manager
[04:47] <Nielsken> not a good directory :d
[04:47] <gma> mcsetty: weird
[04:47] <mcsetty> should i sudo su?
[04:47] <Fivesheep> anyone?
[04:47] <Nielsken> or nu scuch file
[04:47] <verve> brb
[04:47] <wijnand> Nielsken: no wonder you can't run it then
[04:48] <mcsetty> or does that make a difference?
[04:48] <Nielsken> what is the command to change dir
[04:48] <gma> mcsetty: when I try it I get something quite different (it tries to start gdm)
[04:48] <PriceChild> Nielsken, cd <<dir>>
[04:48] <wijnand> Nielsken: cd
[04:48] <gma> mcsetty: even if I run it as myself
[04:48] <mcsetty> strange do you run beryl?
[04:48] <gma> mcsetty: no, but that might not be anything to do with it
[04:48] <mcsetty> i see
[04:49] <gma> hairulf1: does beryl have any interaction with gdm?
[04:49] <lemao> How can I remove a package that is partially installed but none of the standard (apt-get remove, -f remove, -f install) solutions works? How can I manually remove the package from apt-get?
[04:49] <PriceChild> Beay, using people's names in a reply highlighs it so they don't miss it... makes it easier to have a conversation
[04:49] <Beay> Okay.
[04:49] <lemao> I am not able to install, remove, reinstall since the scripts are thowing an exception
[04:49] <mnoir> Nielsken: to review your problem, if you try to execute that script you get no error message, only the prompt again?
[04:49] <PriceChild> Beay, I personally have no experience with ndiswrapper... However if you give more details I'm sure someone will be able to help
[04:50] <Beay> Thanks.
[04:50] <Nielsken> is that good?

[04:51] <amorphous_> PriceChild, hi! you know anything about cups?
[04:51] <vanberge> can anybody tell me what package provides this module:  libc.so.6.
[04:51] <Math^> by the way: is it save when using chmod 775 for all files in home-dir...?
[04:51] <vanberge> im trying to install GalleryRemote and it keeps throwing that error
[04:51] <Beay> I want to compile NDISwrappers, but I can't  seems to compile them.
[04:51] <PriceChild> amorphous_, please ask you question and I'm sure someone with knowledge will be able to help
[04:51] <PriceChild> Beay, what error do you get back?
[04:51] <wijnand> Math^: they'll all be executable and group-writeable.. is that what you want?
[04:51] <Nielsken> wijnand: ok thanks
[04:51] <vanberge> Beay,  you dont need to compile it. just enable universe and multiverse then apt-get it
[04:51] <lilBeat> !
[04:51] <PriceChild> Beay, might also be helpful to know the make and model of your card
[04:51] <cokeslut> hey
[04:51] <Nielsken> next step
[04:51] <Beay> One second.
[04:51] <modern> hi
[04:51] <jmso> no one had an idea where come from my problem ?
[04:51] <amorphous_> PriceChild, I need a gui to edit print queues under cups, but can't find one... - i've asked about 3 times - but have had no answers
[04:51] <wijnand> Math^: personally i'd use 775 for directories and 664 for files
[04:52] <Math^> ah, but wijnand then u cant change files
[04:52] <Math^> write protected
[04:52] <wijnand> Math^: ?
[04:52] <aMoRPHeouS> god dammit.. highlights because of similar names >_<
[04:52] <Math^> 664's not write-protected?
[04:52] <wijnand> Math^: 664 is user and group writeable
[04:52] <Math^> ooh
[04:52] <amorphous_> All I want is a cups GUI to edit the jobs queue. - I'm having probs - the only one I can find is pt - but it doesn't show the queue
[04:52] <hairulf1> Hmm...where do i set up GRUB? I just want to remove one os and change the timelimit?
[04:52] <modern> no
[04:52] <amorphous_> anyone...?
[04:52] <cokeslut> good
[04:53] <gma> amorphous_: do you use gnome?
[04:53] <Math^> how save is it? what about hackers?
[04:53] <mnoir> hairulf1: /boot/grub
[04:53] <Beay> PriceChild:  I have to look on my Linux box for the errors.
[04:53] <hairulf1> mnoir: Thanks !
[04:53] <wick2o> Math^: depends on what you consider a hacker
[04:53] <wijnand> Math^: relatively safe... 644 and 755 are obviously safer (only you can write, in that case)
[04:53] <amorphous_> i have gnome libraries installed - but using xubuntu
[04:53] <Beay> I'm on Windows right now because there is no Internet on my box yet, that's why I need the wrappers.
[04:53] <amorphous_> gma - i have gnome libraries installed - but using xubuntu
[04:53] <Ropechoborra> I'm trying to install ubuntu on my pen-drive, so far so good, but when linux is loading it returns an error:  /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off  any ideas?
[04:53] <gma> ah, right
[04:54] <Math^> so how to change all my directories in 755 and all my files in to 644 in one step using the terminal...?
[04:54] <wick2o> LFS = freaking forever
[04:54] <gma> amorphous_: long time since I've used it; I was just going to point out the stuff built in to gnome, but it won't help you
[04:54] <amorphous_> gma - will that stop it from seeing the print queue?
[04:54] <gma> amorphous_: no, it'll be fine
[04:54] <Beay> PriceChild:  The errors are mostly related to the pointers, and NULL C values.
[04:54] <Math^> chmod 755 -R * or something?
[04:54] <Beay> In the loaddnisdrivers.c
[04:54] <Math^> and *.* for files?
[04:54] <amorphous_> gma - but it isn't - the queue is there if i lpq - but not in pt :(
[04:54] <PriceChild> Math^, whoa whoa whoa...
[04:55] <gma> amorphous_: sorry, I'm not very familiar with xfce
[04:55] <gma> amorphous_: can't suggest anything
[04:55] <Math^> PriceChild, ? @_o
[04:55] <Beay> PriceChild: I'm thinking maybe I don't have all the right libraries.
[04:55] <PriceChild> Math^, you don't want to change permissions of everything.... don't touch anything that isn't yours etc.
[04:55] <mnoir> Math^: what do you mean "all"?  there are some files that should not be world readable
[04:55] <amorphous_> ok -  thanks gma
[04:55] <zukalk> hi, where can i find some HDD test tools? i suspect my HDD might be sick, and i need to know if should get a new one before it's too late
[04:55] <Math^> all the files in the home/math dir :)
[04:55] <Beay> PriceChild:  I just installed 6.10 Ubuntu, maybe it doesn't come with the kernel sources?
[04:55] <PriceChild> Math^, stuff in your home dir should be ok
[04:55] <Math^> PriceChild, uhu :)
[04:56] <PriceChild> beasty, it doesn't no, but the guide should explain how to install everything important
[04:56] <Math^> that's what I was thinking about
[04:56] <PriceChild> Math^, chmod <<whatever>> 775 ~/
[04:56] <PriceChild> Math^, although I DON'T reccomend it
[04:56] <Beay> Can someone please help.
[04:56] <mnoir> Math^: math is your uid?  well i think you are making a mistaks but yes - -R means recursive.  please man chmod before doing it though
[04:56] <Math^> PriceChild, becouse of the ./settings...?
[04:57] <PriceChild> Math^, I just wouldn't change things from defaults... they're defaults for a reason :)
[04:57] <GuerrillaWon> Does Ubuntu AMD64 have an emulator for windows applications?
[04:57] <PriceChild> guerby, you can chroot wine
[04:57] <GuerrillaWon> I heard wine won't work on this arch.?
[04:57] <bulmer> anyone familiar with LPD printing and windows and mainframe TSO printing? printer is attached to a windows 98 machine..how does this 3 interact to make it work?
[04:57] <jmso> again : I have a problem with my fresh installation of ubuntu : I have the following error : "video frequence too hight". I try to modify the xorg.conf with the recommanded setting for it, but without succes. What else can I do ?
[04:57] <vanberge> alright.. let me ask this.  Does anybody here use GalleryRemote to upload images to their webpage???
[04:57] <Math^> PriceChild, yes I understand... but I've messed somethings up using chmod :P
[04:57] <Beay> I just installed Ubuntu 6.10 and I'm trying to compile ndiswrappers to hook up the Internet.
[04:57] <PriceChild> vanberge, isn't that a windows only thing?
[04:57] <Math^> I mean... its not messed up for real, but I've changed some things
[04:57] <gma> jmso: did you update the config file for all colour depths?
[04:58] <Beay> It won't compile loadndisdrivers.c
[04:58] <gma> jmso: ignore that question, it was stupid
[04:58] <Math^> gma, lol
[04:58] <tekteen> can someone tell me how to make a mounted drive public or only available to certain users
[04:58] <GuerrillaWon> nm found it
[04:58] <jmso> gma : no, what did you mean by this ?
[04:58] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound in edgy?
[04:58] <PriceChild> !sound | makuseru
[04:58] <ubotu> makuseru: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[04:58] <makuseru> tried that
[04:58] <makuseru> no help
[04:58] <PriceChild> makuseru, :P
[04:58] <amorphous_> gma - what where the gnome bits you were going to mention?
[04:58] <tekteen> can someone tell me how to make a mounted drive public or only available to certain users
[04:59] <Amadeo> I need a video expert!
[04:59] <gma> jmso: it was a bit of a brain fart. for some reason I imagined that the config file was structured differently to how it is
[04:59] <mnoir> PriceChild: no - gallery remote is a java app and has linux versions
[04:59] <tekteen> can someone tell me how to make a mounted drive public or only available to certain users
[04:59] <PriceChild> mnoir, vanberge oh ok I'm thinking of the wrong thing then....
[04:59] <gma> amorphous_: gnome has a printing admin applet
[04:59] <Math^> when using dir/w in dos, how to this in linux?
[04:59] <PriceChild> mnoir, vanberge that one worked for me...
[04:59] <Beay> I just installed Ubuntu 6.10 and I'm trying to compile ndiswrappers to hook up the Internet.  It won't compile loadndisdrivers.c, and it won't compile pointers, null values, and a ton of things.    I read through FAQs and such to no avail.  Am I missing libraries?  Does Ubuntu come with all need libraies.
[04:59] <tekteen> can someone tell me how to make a mounted drive public or only available to certain users
[04:59] <Beay> all needed* libraries
[05:00] <gma> amorphous_: try running gnome-cups-manager
[05:00] <amorphous_> gma - it have a name?
[05:00] <threeseas> any way to get a DVD movie to play?
[05:00] <vanberge> mnoir, PriceChild  supposedly!!  i cannot get it to run!   it prompts me saying this module can't be found:  libc.so.6
[05:00] <tekteen> can someone tell me how to make a mounted drive public or only available to certain users
[05:00] <vanberge> any ideas?
[05:00] <amorphous_> ok - thanks
[05:00] <Beay> Anyone?
[05:00] <vanberge> Beay, don't compile it.  just apt-get it
[05:00] <gma> amorphous_: what do you mean by 'a name' ?
[05:00] <vanberge> beay:  "apt-get install ndiswrapper"
[05:01] <gma> amorphous_: if gnome is installed, and you open a terminal and type 'gnome-cups-manager' it should just run, I think
[05:01] <bulmer> Beay there is an ndiswrapper channel on freenode too..visit them perhaps
[05:01] <Beay> Does Ubuntu come with ndiswrapper though?
[05:01] <Beay> Oh, cool a channel for it.
[05:01] <amorphous_> gma - 's ok... gnome-cups-manager's a step in the right direction...
[05:01] <Beay> Thanks bulmer.
[05:01] <bulmer> np
[05:01] <vanberge> Beay, it doesnt come with it... but that comand will install it
[05:01] <vanberge> Beay, "apt-get install ndiswrapper"
[05:01] <Amadeo> I think of all the frustrating things, just trying to get your video card and refresh rate working properly is above all others...nothing you do ever seems to work, and nobody seems to know what to do!
[05:01] <amorphous_> thanks gma - could be saving me from tearing All my hair out!!
[05:01] <amorphous_> ;)
[05:02] <shriphani> could someone tell me if putting apt in the background would stall the process ?
[05:02] <gma> amorphous_: cool!
[05:02] <RandomDude16> after I type jam
[05:02] <RandomDude16> whats next/
[05:02] <RandomDude16> jam install?
[05:02] <gma> shriphani: it'd be fine
[05:02] <shriphani> gma, that goes for every process ?
[05:02] <threeseas> any plugins that allow the playing of a dvd movie?
[05:02] <amorphous_> that'll do it! thanks gma - that's all i needed ;)))
[05:02] <shriphani> !d
[05:03] <xiq> shriphani: how are you "putting it in the background"?
[05:03] <shriphani> !dvd
[05:03] <wijnand> Math^: all dirs would be */
[05:03] <gma> shriphani: in general, yes. some may want to be in the foreground
[05:03] <czr> amorphous_, if it needs interactive input, it will stall
[05:03] <RandomDude16> any other programs
[05:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:03] <Beay> @Vanberge:  It says the package doesn't exist.
[05:03] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[05:03] <RandomDude16> that convert stuff to ipod?
[05:03] <wijnand> Math^: all files would be * (but be aware that this includes dirs)
[05:03] <amorphous_> czr?
[05:03] <RandomDude16> !ipodconvert | RandomDude16
[05:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipodconvert - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:03] <shriphani> RandomDude16, gtkpod
[05:03] <shriphani> but install it from source
[05:03] <threeseas> thanks
[05:03] <gma> czr: that was a comment for shriphani I reckon
[05:03] <czr> amorphous_, sometimes apt-get for example asks for user confirmation before processing. running that with & would stall the process
[05:03] <RandomDude16> does it convert my videos to ipod format?
[05:03] <RandomDude16> from like avi?
[05:03] <RandomDude16> and mpeg?
[05:04] <czr> amorphous_, ah sorry
[05:04] <mnoir> vanberge: no idea - i am trying to find libc.so.6 and not having a joyous time :(
[05:04] <shriphani> RandomDude16, there is something in the forums catering to this
[05:04] <czr> shriphani, check the message I wrote to amorphous_ :_)
[05:04] <shriphani> let me dig it for you
[05:04] <RandomDude16> ok
[05:04] <shriphani> czr, i did
[05:04] <teclo-> Hello, how can I tell ubuntu to boot in 800x600 and not 1024x768 ?
[05:04] <Limp> Hey, i am having some trouble with the newest Nvidia driver. It installs fine and i can start gdm and run gnome. But when i reboot, it no longer works :S.
[05:04] <mnoir> vanberge: i mean in the world - i have it on my system...
[05:05] <shriphani> RandomDude16, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114946
[05:05] <czr> does anyone know whether there is a tool in ubuntu (cli) that will do chroot/cwd/drop-priv and exec the target? (in order for it to be useful using suid-bit)
[05:05] <amorphous_> czr - that not for me then?
[05:05] <Math^> how to view chmod of files?
[05:05] <Limp> I get "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 1.0-7174, but this x module has the version 1.0-9746"
[05:05] <czr> amorphous_, not for you
[05:05] <shriphani> Math^, chmod of files ?
[05:05] <wijnand> Math^: view the current mode? just ls -la
[05:05] <bulmer> teclo-: you can modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and select the correct default resolution
[05:06] <Math^> ok
[05:06] <Math^> chmod ls -la directory ?
[05:06] <amorphous_> thank god fr that! thought I was heading fr problems then!
[05:06] <shriphani> Math^, no just ls -ls
[05:06] <Math^> k
[05:06] <shriphani> ls -la ^
[05:06] <Beay> I have no Internet and  I am trying to install the ndiswrapper package.
[05:06] <Alarm> hello. i got a problem with the sound OR video. when i open a tv application (it happened to kdetv as also motv) , and close the application, the application closes , but the sound still continues. that has as an effect not to allow my system to shut down , and when i reset the computer and log in again the tv application starts again, like it has been crashed during the shutdown. what can i check ?
[05:06] <Beay> Which doesn't seem to exist on my recent Ubuntu.
[05:06] <Beay> I download the the tar and untar it.
[05:06] <mcsetty> does anyone know a good guide for installing a flash plugin in firefox 64-bit?
[05:06] <Beay> I then can't compile the sources.
[05:07] <mnoir> Beay: why are you building it rather than just d/l the package?
[05:07] <gma> Beay: why not use the pre-packaged version of ndiswrapper? is it too old?
[05:07] <shriphani> !flash
[05:07] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:07] <Limp> Perhaps there is a better channal for gfx related questions?
[05:07] <Math^> shriphani, wijnand, that's nice, but is can only see something like this:  drwxr-xr-x, how to view the numberd view of it :)
[05:08] <shriphani> r = read, w = write, x = execute
[05:08] <mnoir> Math^: man ls and see if there is a parm for that
[05:08] <Beay> @mnoir:  I download the tar.
[05:08] <Beay> Where's the package?
[05:08] <mnoir> Beay: in the repositories
[05:08] <Beay> I can't get it through Ubuntu's package program.
[05:08] <Beay> Because I have no internet :(.
[05:08] <shriphani> Beay, is it a new installation ?
[05:08] <Hoag> Hey, is there any way to change the colours that OpenOffice uses?
[05:08] <Beay> Yes.
[05:08] <Beay> I just installed Ubuntu.
[05:09] <gma> Math^: r=4, w=2, x=1. add up the trios, ignore the 'd'
[05:09] <shriphani> hmm the repos in sources.list are commented out
[05:09] <shriphani> you need to uncomment them
[05:09] <Math^> mnoir, ok... so u use 'ls' to view what it does?
[05:09] <Math^> gma, ok nice :)
[05:09] <Beay> Okay.
[05:09] <Beay> I'll try.
[05:09] <mnoir> Math^: slow down a sec and ask your question again i will try to give a complete answer
[05:10] <gma> Beay: it's in the main repository, perhaps it's on the CD, but not installed by default?
[05:10] <Math^> mnoir, lol ok
[05:10] <gma> Beay: (I'm guessing)
[05:10] <Math^> when using the ls command, it gives u some list?
[05:10] <Math^> mnoir, sorry about my bad english
[05:10] <shriphani> Math^, ls lists all files not hidden
[05:10] <shriphani> ls -a lists all filess
[05:11] <age6racer> hi all, Can anyone give me some help getting wpa_supplicant to wirk with ndiswrapper? or reccommend a good howto/forum post?
[05:11] <bulmer>  here is a nice tip.... on a command line  just press tab twice, shows all bash commands. some 2000+
[05:11] <Ber> Hy
[05:11] <Math^> shriphani, so this is something like the dir command?
[05:12] <mnoir> Math^: i am not going to continue - there are waaay too many ppl trying to show how bright they are and i can see that they are confusing you - choose one and tell everybody else to stop :)
[05:12] <Math^> mnoir, its ok
[05:12] <Ber> Can anybody tell me where to save a module that should be called by /etc/modprobe.d/aliases ?

[05:16] <Beay> With Internet.
[05:16] <Beay> Not LINUX with Internet.
[05:17] <Stolencheese> Why can't you get on the internet with Linux?
[05:17] <Stolencheese> I'm assuming, You dual-booted it yeah?
[05:17] <Stolencheese> No good asking me really, I only managed to install Ubuntu this morning. o.O

[05:18] <bones> how is the amd64 distro part working?
[05:18] <gma> mcsetty: when I did it there was a README file that said stick it in the /blah/blah/plugins directory
[05:18] <wijnand> Math^: r=4, w=2 and x=1, so rwxr-xr-x is 755
[05:18] <Stolencheese> Mcsetty: Tried going through something like Program Files, Or something like that..
[05:18] <gma> mcsetty: so look for one that has 'plugins' on the end ofit
[05:18] <NevroPus> don't Ubuntu support WPA/TKIP?
[05:18] <mcsetty> cool thanks
[05:19] <bones> is the amd64 distro still underdeveloped? or is it on par
[05:19] <Beay> @Stolencheese:
[05:19] <gma> Beay: assuming you can't get linux on the net you could download the ndiswrapper packages and then transfer them to linux (somehow)
[05:19] <Beay> No I have Linux on another box.
[05:19] <Stolencheese> Okay..
[05:19] <bones> i mean x64
[05:19] <Beay> I'm trying to get its Internet working.
[05:19] <bones> 64 bit
[05:19] <gma> Beay: then you wouldn't need to compile it
[05:19] <Stolencheese> What was your original question? I've forgotten, heh.
[05:19] <Math^> wijnand, thnx :)
[05:19] <Beay> Okay.
[05:19] <gma> Stolencheese: can't get ndiswrapper compiled
[05:19] <Beay> Thanks gma.
[05:20] <mcsetty> nice it worked
[05:20] <Stolencheese> Are people now asking me questions?! Gah?!
[05:20] <mcsetty> thanks alot gma you've been a ton of help
[05:20] <Ber> Beay: for compiling you shouldn't need the Net
[05:20] <gma> mcsetty: no probs

[05:20] <gma> Stolencheese: which was?
[05:20] <Stolencheese> Which was..
[05:20] <Stolencheese> I can't connect to MSN through Gaim, When I do it closes down 2 secs after logging in.
[05:21] <Ber> Stolencheese: No error msg?
[05:21] <Stolencheese> Where as, I can connect to it fine through ICQ.
[05:21] <gma> euch.
[05:21] <Stolencheese> Nope, No error message.
[05:21] <Stolencheese> Just shuts after two secs.
[05:21] <gma> Stolencheese: gaim is so nasty
[05:21] <shriphani> Stolencheese, why dont you try amsn ?
[05:21] <Stolencheese> What's that?!
[05:21] <Math^> wijnand, does'nt make rwxr-xr-x 771 instead of 775 ?
[05:21] <Stolencheese> Omigoshi, It's working!
[05:22] <Math^> wijnand, if x = 1
[05:22] <gma> rwxr-xr-x is 755
[05:22] <Beay> Does anyone no where I can find the packages online?
[05:22] <thefoxx> packages.ubuntu.com
[05:22] <thefoxx> hi
[05:22] <Stolencheese> Wait.. It's working.. But it's on ICQ, How do I switch between the two?
[05:22] <Math^> gma, rwxr = 7, then xr = 5, then x must be 1...?
[05:22] <gma> Math^: yeah, x is 1
[05:22] <ulfstand> hi, I need a nfs to mount at boot time. But it wont. How can I fix it?
[05:23] <gma> Math^: 4, 2, 1
[05:23] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound working on edgy
[05:23] <Math^> gma, so rwxr-xr-x must be 771?
[05:23] <Beay> Thanks thefoxx.
[05:23] <gma> Math^: no. rwx = 7, r-x = 5, r-x = 5
[05:23] <gma> Math^: r is 4
[05:23] <kuma> Hi, I'm looking for resources about installing applications in kubuntu that aren't listed in the add/remove programs (Adept), can you guys recommend me a website or something? :)
[05:23] <Ber> Stolencheese: What's working?
[05:23] <Stolencheese> MSN!
[05:23] <Stolencheese> Yay!
[05:23] <Math^> gma, hmmm well i'll get it onces :P
[05:24] <Stolencheese> I realised I had to scroll down from ICQ to get MSN, It just suddenly started working again so it's not closing anymore.
[05:24] <Ber> kuma: Are you locking for s.t. special or do you just want to see what is available?
[05:24] <gma> Math^: do you see how to split the 9 characters into three groups before you start adding them up?
[05:24] <Ber> Stolencheese: *argh*
[05:24] <Stolencheese> No thanks to any of you lot! :P Kidding!
[05:24] <tuza> hi all! I wonder if automatix is available for Edgy 6.10 on PPC ?
[05:24] <Stolencheese> I <3 Ubuntu.
[05:24] <kuma> no, i want to install rainlendar, but i have no experience in installing software in linux besides the one listed in Adept
[05:24] <Math^> gma, ermmm
[05:25] <kuma> Ber: no, i want to install rainlendar, but i have no experience in installing software in linux besides the one listed in Adept
[05:25] <jmso> My problem with the video frequence could be due to the video card ?
[05:25] <bob[1] > anyone here have experiance using ndiswrapper ?? (or know how to use it) ??
[05:25] <gma> Beay: I think you should download these two: ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[05:25] <camerong> anyone here have experiance using ndiswrapper ?? (or know how to use it) ??
[05:25] <camerong> gma: think you could help me?
[05:25] <Hoag> Hey, is there any way to add the Right Click>>Copy Image function to firefox like there is on Windows?
[05:25] <Ber> kuma: so you checked the repositorys for it?
[05:25] <Math^> gma, I get it
[05:25] <gma> camerong: I've used it, but it wasn't a pleasant experience
[05:25] <Limp> Anybody got any experince with the newest nvidia drivers who can shed some light on a most annyoing error?
[05:25] <gma> Math^: cool
[05:25] <NevroPus> can anyone tell me how to get my WPA encrypted network to work? that is, It works in windows, but can't logg inn on it from ubuntu while it has WPA
[05:25] <Math^> gma 3-3-3
[05:25] <Stolencheese> Hoag: It's already there,
[05:26] <Stolencheese> Hoag: Well should be anyway.
[05:26] <wijnand> Math^: rwxrwxrwx: the first rwx is for user, the second for group, the third for all users, so rwxr-xr-x means user can read, write and execute (access dir), group can read and execute, all others can also read and execute
[05:26] <Hoag> Stolencheese: Nope :|
[05:26] <Limp> After working driver install anda reboot i get: "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 1.0-7174, but this x module has the version 1.0-9746"
[05:26] <kuma> Ber: if by that you mean the list of software listed in the Adept, yes,, I did, if you means another thing please explain it to me ^^
[05:26] <Stolencheese> Hoag: Odd, On mine it is. Have you installed all the 87 updates?
[05:26] <eppu> Do ya have any ideas how to fix my annoying problem? When I log out from session or try to reboot edgy, my laptop's screen goes screen and system halts. System is Acer Aspire 3023WLMi, Radeon x700 etc... FGLRX-drivers HELP!
[05:26] <Arigato> how do I check fragmentation of certain files?
[05:26] <wijnand> Math^: so, 7 refers to rwx (4+2+1) and r-x to group, then the final r-x (4+0+1=5) to all others
[05:26] <gma> Beay: (I'm assuming you've installed the current version [edgy]  with those packages)
[05:27] <camerong> gma: i cant get ubuntu to recognize my driver. i have ndiswrapper installed and -utils too and the graphical interface for it, and i loaded my dell 1450 wireless usb adaptor's windows drivers onto it using the cd that came with it, and then i added the DELLNIC.inf file too.. but it says its invalid and that no hardware is recognized
[05:27] <Math^> gma,  so rwxrwxrwx must be: rwx=7... 777 :)
[05:27] <Hoag> Stolencheese: Nope
[05:27] <gma> camerong: it's a couple of years since I was in that situation, but I just tried different drivers
[05:27] <gma> camerong: they don't all work all the time
[05:27] <cokeslut> sup?
[05:27] <modern> hi
[05:27] <gma> Math^: yep
[05:27] <Math^> gma, I love it
[05:27] <Math^> :D
[05:27] <gma> Math^: what's r-xrwxrws ?
[05:27] <cokeslut> out of interest
[05:28] <wijnand> gma: lol
[05:28] <bulmer> camerong: visit the nice folks at #ndiswrapper  they maybe able to assist
[05:28] <modern> dunno
[05:28] <Limp> The weird thing is that i can get gdm working and into gnome after i install the drivers but after a reboot i am back to square one
[05:28] <Li`lEndian> gack! i tried to follow the azureus/port-forwarding NAT error wiki page and now even bittornado can't get through.
[05:28] <Stolencheese> Hoag: I got a message when I started Linux saying, There are blah blag 87 addons ready to download! And atleast 15 were for Firefox..
[05:28] <Math^> gma, r=4... and x=1... and w=...3?
[05:28] <Li`lEndian> I am sharing an internet connection over ICS and as far as I know, all the firewalls are turned off.
[05:28] <wijnand> gma: 1577, no?
[05:28] <gma> Math^: w=2
[05:28] <Hoag> Stolencheese: Ah, that could have been it. >_>
[05:28] <Li`lEndian> but i am still getting an NAT error on azureus. can anyone please help?
[05:28] <NevroPus> anyone?
[05:28] <bob[1] > gma did you see my messge before i got kicked off?
[05:28] <Math^> gma, then it must be: 577?
[05:28] <gma> Math^: but i was a cruel question
[05:29] <camerong> gma: did you see my message before i got booted off
[05:29] <gma> bob[1] : no, sorry
[05:29] <Math^> gma, I saw rws?
[05:29] <NevroPus> can anyone tell me how to get my WPA encrypted network to work? that is, It works in windows, but can't logg inn on it from ubuntu while it has WPA
[05:29] <gma> camerong: which one?
[05:29] <Math^> gma, u ment rwx?
[05:29] <ircusr> hi
[05:29] <camerong> gma: i cant get ubuntu to recognize my driver. i have ndiswrapper installed and -utils too and the graphical interface for it, and i loaded my dell 1450 wireless usb adaptor's windows drivers onto it using the cd that came with it, and then i added the DELLNIC.inf file too.. but it says its invalid and that no hardware is recognized
[05:29] <bulmer> camerong: visit the nice folks at #ndiswrapper  they maybe able to assist
[05:29] <gma> Math^: no, I was being mean. s is a 4th character, but I don't think it's valid where I typed it
[05:29] <ircusr> im trying to setup up 3d accel on my computer
[05:29] <Ber> kuma: I don't have the english version of ubuntu, but i think you're talking about the prog you find in the first dropdown (counted from left?)
[05:29] <ircusr> i dont know how
[05:29] <hairulfr> Hey all, I have two disk, one NTFS partition, and two ext3  one with opensuse and on with ubuntu, i just wanna format the opensuse on and allocate that space to my home on the ubuntu partition, can this be done relatively painlessly?
[05:29] <camerong> bulmer thanks
[05:29] <Math^> gma, lol :P
[05:29] <gma> Math^: it's called setting the sticky bit
[05:30] <gma> Math^: but you normally do it for the user or group, not for everybody
[05:30] <Math^> gma, ah ok (what that ever means...) :P
[05:30] <kuma> Ber: neither do I, in what language do you have it?
[05:30] <gma> Math^: yeah, I'll shut up
[05:30] <Math^> gma,  :P
[05:30] <bulmer> hairulfr: easy..since the opensuse is already ext3..just mount it when you arein ubuntu
[05:31] <Ber> kuma: german
[05:31] <Stolencheese> Does anyone know how to change the incoming messages on MSN formatted to your text rather than there text, For example; They chose their text as black. I want it to be white, Any ideas?
[05:31] <gma> wijnand: could be 1577, I have absolutely no idea
[05:31] <wijnand> gma: lol
[05:31] <hairulfr> bulmer: It is mounted, how do i format it? :/
[05:31] <wijnand> gma: well i know i wasn't far off at least
[05:32] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound working on edgy
[05:32] <kuma> Ber: Oh, I have it in Spanish no nevermind ^^. anyway, yes i'm talking abpout the program you find in thefirst dropdown menu, the one that shows you a lot of apps to install/uninstall
[05:32] <bulmer> hairulfr: ready to lose data? use mkfs.ext3    man mkfs to see the options
[05:32] <Amadeo> Does Firefox not want to open links in new tabs like it's supposed to, for anyone else? Mine keeps opening new windows, even though it's set to tabs
[05:32] <Anders> Hi
[05:32] <HymnToLife> Amadeo, mine works perfectly
[05:32] <gma> wijnand: yeah, I think if it'd been u+s you'd be right, but if you create a new file and then set the mode to my example, ls -l tells you it's rwSrwSr-- ... whatever that means
[05:32] <Anders> I could use some help
[05:32] <HymnToLife> which kind of links ?
[05:32] <Anders> I'm new to Ubuntu
[05:32] <hairulfr> bulmer: On the suse disk, yeah, no problem, I just don't wanna format the drive with Ubuntu on :)
[05:33] <Anders> I've made two partitions
[05:33] <HymnToLife> (i.e. links in webpages or caled externally ?)
[05:33] <Anders> with ext3
[05:33] <Anders> and
[05:33] <wijnand> gma: true.. i'm a bit rusty on this though
[05:33] <Amadeo> HymnToLife: Not sure...but I don't want new windows ever, I just like new tabs :)
[05:33] <camreong> theres no one in the #ndiswrapper channel that is talking, can anyone here help me??
[05:33] <mario> holaaa
[05:33] <el-sio> hi there
[05:33] <Ber> kuma: ok, there is a second dd-menu try that, there is somewhere something with syoptics!
[05:33] <Anders> when I try to install root on a 8gb drive, and a swap drive on a 2gb drive
[05:33] <vanberge> so no human being in this room has gallery remote on ubuntu?
[05:33] <Anders> it says
[05:33] <el-sio> close to success
[05:33] <el-sio> I have a problem with my sound card
[05:33] <gma> wijnand: plot thickens. 1577 is r-xrwxrwt
[05:33] <HymnToLife> camreong, just ask, we'll help if we can
[05:33] <Anders> no rootfilesystem
[05:33] <Anders> :(
[05:33] <vanberge> !galleryremote | vanberge
[05:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about galleryremote - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:33] <el-sio> It is working (I can hear a very faint sound)
[05:34] <camreong> ok, here goes: i cant get ubuntu to recognize my driver. i have ndiswrapper installed and -utils too and the graphical interface for it, and i loaded my dell 1450 wireless usb adaptor's windows drivers onto it using the cd that came with it, and then i added the DELLNIC.inf file too.. but it says its invalid and that no hardware is recognized. (when i run ndiswrapper -l i get "dellnic invalid driver!" )
[05:34] <vanberge> !gallery | vanberge
[05:34] <Anders> Can anyone help me?
[05:34] <ubotu> gallery: a web-based photo album written in php. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.3-2 (edgy), package size 7734 kB, installed size 27668 kB
[05:34] <el-sio> but all the volume is already at max
[05:34] <el-sio> and it is so low
[05:34] <HymnToLife> Anders, root is /
[05:34] <Anders> Yes
[05:34] <el-sio> can someone help me please ?
[05:34] <Anders> I know
[05:34] <wijnand> gma: oh cunning
[05:34] <HymnToLife> oh righ
[05:34] <Anders> It's set to "/"
[05:34] <HymnToLife> some people confuse it with /root
[05:34] <Anders> without "
[05:34] <Anders> Yeah ok. :)
[05:34] <RandomDude16> forget it
[05:34] <Anders> Mount point is a SATA disk
[05:34] <RandomDude16> im just gonna use windows
[05:34] <Amadeo> What fonts do people normally use in Firefox? I can't stand the default, they look horrid
[05:34] <RandomDude16> to encode ipod video
[05:34] <HymnToLife> are you installing from a Desktop CD or Alternate ?
[05:34] <Anders> Desktop CD
[05:35] <camreong> anyone: i cant get ubuntu to recognize my driver. i have ndiswrapper installed and -utils too and the graphical interface for it, and i loaded my dell 1450 wireless usb adaptor's windows drivers onto it using the cd that came with it, and then i added the DELLNIC.inf file too.. but it says its invalid and that no hardware is recognized. (when i run ndiswrapper -l i get "dellnic invalid driver!" )
[05:35] <HymnToLife> Amadeo, I personnally use the "Bitsream Vera" family
[05:35] <shriphani> RandomDude16, i agree the tutorial i dug for you is a pain in the a@!
[05:35] <Anders> Sorry Camreong, I have no idea about that. :(
[05:35] <Amadeo> HymnToLife: I'll try them out and see how they look
[05:35] <Anders> It's funny
[05:35] <Gizmo_the_Great1> hi. I have just upgraded one of two laptops to Edgy. Whenever I hibernate it, when I lift the lid again, the wirless connection fails to reconnect....until I open the lid on the other laptop (which runs WinXP) which seems to cause my Edgy laptop to look for a signal again. Any ideas?
[05:35] <RandomDude16> yes
[05:35] <Anders> if I set the SWAP drive
[05:35] <Anders> to the 8gb drive
[05:35] <Anders> and / to the 2gb drive
[05:35] <camreong> ghanks anyways
[05:35] <Anders> then ti works
[05:35] <Anders> it*
[05:35] <Anders> :S
[05:36] <HymnToLife> camreong, are you sure you installed the correct driver for your hw ?
[05:36] <Gizmo_the_Great1> is there a way or a command to tell Edgy "Look for a wireless signal"?
[05:36] <gma> HymnToLife: I was just about to ask 'em that too
[05:36] <gma> too late!
[05:36] <martinimnetz> Hi Anders, maybe just try again or uses the alternate CD. Worked for me.
[05:36] <Hoag> Hey, how can you copy images from firefox with right click? Rightclick>Copy Image isn't there, and dragging it just copies a line of HTML.
[05:37] <HymnToLife> Gizmo_the_Great1, you can use the wlassistant
[05:37] <HymnToLife> !wlassistant
[05:37] <ubotu> wlassistant: User friendly KDE frontend for wireless network connection. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 (edgy), package size 115 kB, installed size 572 kB
[05:37] <Anders> Hmm
[05:37] <Anders> Where do i get the alternate CD ? :)
[05:37] <martinimnetz> Had some issues installing Ubuntu on my laptop.
[05:37] <HymnToLife> it's KDE though, I don't know if there's something similar in GNOME
[05:37] <Anders> oh wait
[05:37] <Anders> nvm
[05:37] <Anders> :P
[05:37] <Anders> Let me just download it..
[05:37] <martinimnetz> Tried Alternate (2 or 3 times), then it worked.
[05:37] <Anders> What is the diffrence
[05:37] <Anders> between the alternate
[05:37] <Anders> and the normal
[05:37] <HymnToLife> !alternate | Anders
[05:37] <ubotu> Anders: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:37] <Anders> D:
[05:38] <martinimnetz> First, you can't try out Ubuntu "live" with the Alternate CD.
[05:38] <Anders> Expert install ??
[05:38] <Anders> I'm a newb.
[05:38] <hairulfr> bulmer: I cant write to the other drives... I just need hte other disk for downloads and such
[05:38] <Gizmo_the_Great1> HymnToLife: thanks - i am DL'ing now
[05:38] <HymnToLife> Anders, it can do an "expert" install, but it can do a standard one, too
[05:38] <shriphani> Anders, my experience is based on breezy
[05:38] <Anders> ok
[05:38] <martinimnetz> Don't worry, I was too, when I used it.
[05:38] <Anders> Okay..
[05:38] <HymnToLife> just the installer is text-based
[05:38] <martinimnetz> And still am. :-)
[05:38] <Anders> Ah ok
[05:38] <Anders> Does it tells me 'what to do'
[05:38] <Anders> somewhat
[05:38] <ver0niqu3> hi all
[05:38] <shriphani> expert install will set up a root password and avoid giving you sudo access
[05:38] <bulmer> hairulfr: what do you mean you can not write to the other drives? its not mounted for read/write?
[05:39] <martinimnetz> Yeah, it does. Just read the messages carefully.
[05:39] <Anders> o
[05:39] <Anders> what is sudo :P
[05:39] <HymnToLife> !sudo
[05:39] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:39] <Anders> ok
[05:39] <martinimnetz> I gather you try to install Ubuntu on a second machine?
[05:39] <Anders> is that good or bad
[05:39] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound working on edgy
[05:39] <ver0niqu3> i've problem with xmms-singit plugin, i don't understand how run it with an mp3 + txt lyric file...can some one help me? thanks
[05:39] <HymnToLife> Anders, nothing is "bad" in itself, it all depends on how you use it
[05:39] <hairulfr> bulmer: I don't know Hm, it's mounted, but probably only read, I can't create folders on it
[05:39] <shriphani> i had problems for days trying to change my ip settings just cuz i did an expert install
[05:39] <martinimnetz> Is sudo good or bad? Good, at least convenient.
[05:40] <HymnToLife> but sudo is considered more secure for beginners
[05:40] <HymnToLife> because they often don't make their root pw strong enough
[05:40] <Anders> Ok it's downloading now. :)
[05:40] <kuma> Ber: I can't find it, do you know a website that teach how to install apps in linux?
[05:40] <wick2o> i like sudo for some stuff, but if im gonna be doing alot of stuff i just sudo su root
[05:40] <bulmer> hairulfr: type this command   mount   and it should list what is mounted and the read/write option
[05:40] <martinimnetz> Using "sudo" you just switch to root privileges for a single command.
[05:40] <Anders> does the livecd include a way of burning CDs ?
[05:40] <wick2o> because typing sudo can get annoying after awhile
[05:40] <Anders> Ok
[05:40] <martinimnetz> So you don't forget to switch back to you normal user mode.
[05:41] <HymnToLife> wick2o, it is generally recommended to use sudo -i unstead ot sudo su to get a root shell
[05:41] <Anders> Martin: I have no idea about linux, does it tell me how i do that?
[05:41] <veracon_> Hm, is there a difference between sudo su and sudo -s?
[05:41] <shriphani> martinimnetz, for about 5 mins after usin sudo you wont be asked a password
[05:41] <martinimnetz> How you do what?
[05:41] <Anders> switch back...
[05:41] <martinimnetz> No need, if you use sudo.
[05:41] <Anders> Yeah but..
[05:41] <hairulfr> bulmer: Hmm, they do say rw...weird
[05:41] <Anders> Martin: They told me to try the alternate CD
[05:42] <Anders> Martin: and said it will avoid installing sudo or something
[05:42] <Anders> anyways, brb, I'll go eat.
[05:42] <shriphani> Anders, dont perform an expert install
[05:42] <Clark_G> hello to everyone. Glad to be here!
[05:42] <martinimnetz> If you use "su" to temporarily switch to root user privileges, just type "exit". That'll get you back.
[05:42] <wick2o> umm didnt know the differce, ill look it up more later
[05:42] <shriphani> proceed with the normal install
[05:42] <Ber> kuma: Computer -> System Configuration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[05:42] <veracon_> Or send an end-of-file (ctrl+d) :)
[05:42] <Ber> kuma: try to find that, it's the door to all the fancy new progs
[05:42] <Hoag> Hey, how can you copy images from firefox with right click? Rightclick>Copy Image isn't there, and dragging it just copies a line of HTML.
[05:42] <martinimnetz> You can tell from the command prompt, whether you're root or your user.
[05:42] <phreak_> how can i edit a file through terminal? i don't remember the command. :P
[05:43] <bulmer> hairulfr: you must have the right permission to write to those dirs  or mounted fs
[05:43] <Solskogen> Is upgrading to feisty broken? I get a error when doing dist-upgrade: E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on python-minimal
[05:43] <HymnToLife> Hoag, save image as ?
[05:43] <shriphani> i.e. if things havent changed from breezy's time
[05:43] <vanberge> surely people in #ubuntu must upload pictures to their galleries... what is the best method then if nobody uses galleryremote??
[05:43] <martinimnetz> "$": user mode; "#": root privileges.
[05:43] <HymnToLife> vanberge, I use Coppermine
[05:43] <martinimnetz> (That's the last character of the command prompt.)
[05:43] <wick2o> phreak_: vim or nano or emacs
[05:43] <shriphani> phreak_, gedit file ?
[05:43] <phreak_> thanks

[05:43] <wick2o> or whatever other editor youd like to use
[05:44] <vanberge> HymnToLife, thats a web based one that you sign up for right?
[05:44] <stef_> hi
[05:44] <wick2o> me, i like joe for simple quick and dirty edits
[05:44] <Hoag> HymnToLife: I could do, but I'd like to look for a way to do it as quickly as I usually have :)
[05:44] <martinimnetz> Anders: no, using the Alternate CD doesn't take "sudo" capability away.
[05:44] <Solskogen> mnoir: oh, thanks.
[05:44] <HymnToLife> vanberge, web-based but there's no "signup"
[05:44] <shriphani> martinimnetz, an expert install does though
[05:44] <mnoir> vanberge: I use the upload that is built into gallery on all my client sites
[05:45] <Plaa> Colours are wrong when I watch videos, I mean yellow is yellow but its too yellow; when I use x11 output everything looks right but in fullscreen I think the resolution drops and framerate possibly is too low, what should I do? this happens also in Kubuntu
[05:45] <hairulfr> bulmer: How do I change the permissions so my user can change them?
[05:45] <veracon_> nano is probably the simplest of the editors in a terminal.
[05:45] <martinimnetz> Shriphani: Thx, didn't know. Not too sure though, thinking about it...
[05:45] <hairulfr> bulmer: Or i mean write to the disks
[05:45] <Clark_G> I agree. Nano rules!
[05:45] <Ber> kuma: Rainlendar is windows only (sais it's website)
[05:45] <wick2o> veracon_: really? i didnt think you could get any simpler then joe
[05:45] <martinimnetz> On my laptop I think I did an expert install...
[05:45] <martinimnetz> and do have sudo.
[05:45] <vanberge> mnoir, isnt that kind of restrictive though?  as in how many you can put up at once?
[05:45] <ver0niqu3> anyone use a karaoke program? if so what program do you use? thanks
[05:46] <veracon_> wick2o: I guess simple was the wrong word; the easiest to use, perhaps
[05:46] <bulmer> hairulfr: man fstab  and see the options
[05:46] <MKR> kate is pretty handy
[05:46] <shriphani> martinimnetz, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/05/26/expert-mode-install-and-admin-sudo-for-users/
[05:47] <shriphani> something like that occurs
[05:47] <Instabin> Any one use cedega?
[05:47] <martinimnetz> shriphani: :-) Good work!
[05:47] <mnoir> vanberge: suffucuent for the purpose - most of my clients are fine (as opposed to photo) artists so bulk upload is not a proirity.  BTW - this is close to OT i think :)
[05:47] <kuma> Ben: Wait a sec please, i'm taking a screenshot of the system menu,
[05:47] <kuma> Ben: http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/download/Rainlendar-Lite-2.0.2.tar.bz2
[05:47] <Math^> I've got some stupid question: why is the penguin a logo/symbol of linux? lol
[05:48] <kuma> Ben: that's the linux version of rainlendar
[05:48] <wick2o> Math^: id google that
[05:48] <wick2o> the answer is everywhere
[05:48] <Math^> wick2o, k :P
[05:48] <MKR> Math^: Because penguins are fierce
[05:48] <Ber> kuma: ber not ben
[05:48] <kuma> sorry ^
[05:48] <Music_Shuffle> Anyone able to tell me how to fix my apparently corrupted iTunesDB file?
[05:48] <wick2o> thats like asking if MS wrote dos
[05:48] <Simulator> XChat2.8.0
[05:49] <Instabin> MS didnt write dos
[05:49] <Simulator> anyone use XChat 2.8.0
[05:49] <martinimnetz> shripani: guess, i did a server install then. i'm sure i had sudo.
[05:49] <wick2o> Instabin: exactly
[05:49] <emss> gaim uses 30% cpu
[05:49] <Instabin> he bought it in college for 3 or 5 grand
[05:49] <Math^> the macintosh uses an apple as logo, becouse Steve Jobs loves that kind of fruit :)
[05:49] <wick2o> Instabin: point is, that answer is ALL over the net
[05:50] <kuma> Ber: http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/8910/1wx6.png
[05:50] <Ber> kuma: whats the name of the files that are in that .tar.bz2-file?
[05:50] <xtknight> g'morning
[05:51] <Ber> kuma: Kubuntu?
[05:52] <kuma> Ber: yup...
[05:52] <Rookie-1> !cube
[05:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cube - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:52] <Ber> kuma: KPackage is the prog of your choice
[05:52] <Rookie-1> !panel
[05:52] <miniman> Sometimes when I try to open the terminal, it just says "starting terminal" then closes....Does anyone know why it does this?
[05:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about panel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:52] <miniman> Sometimes when I try to open the terminal, it just says "starting terminal" then closes....Does anyone know why it does this?
[05:53] <kuma> Ber: ok, i'm oppening it
[05:53] <seamus7> When running 'glxgears' in a terminal, is there supposed to be a rotating cube?
[05:53] <syd67ro> can I install skype via apt-get install? Is it in the multiverse repository? I'm talking with a friend with ubuntu and he can't install it this way
[05:54] <el-sio> Could someone help me a little with my soundcard ? It is working but the volume is very low even at max output on alsamixer...
[05:54] <miniman> syd67ro, download it from their website
[05:54] <Ber> syd67ro: Goto the Skype Website, they tell you which repository to use
[05:54] <syd67ro> so I can't install it with apt-get?
[05:55] <Ber> syd67.ro: Ad the repository and you will be able to do so
[05:55] <skmidry> !wireless
[05:55] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:55] <martinimnetz> el-sio, i don't want to sound like a wiseguy, but have you checked your "hardware" volume controls? No offence intended, but something like that happened to me.
[05:55] <miniman> syd67ro, download it from their website
[05:55] <syd67ro> Ber: ok, so I have to add a new repository just for skype. Why cant I grab it from multiverse?
[05:55] <miniman> Sometimes when I try to open the terminal, it just says "starting terminal" then closes....Does anyone know why it does this?
[05:56] <el-sio> thx martinimnetz but I have already checked that
[05:56] <Gaspipe> hey people
[05:56] <el-sio> everything is at max
[05:56] <Ber> syd67ro: Ask the ubuntu-ppl... it's not free software so it's not in it
[05:56] <martinimnetz> el-sio: Otherwise, my best guess would have been the alsamixer.
[05:56] <Gaspipe> i was here yesterday and ran the livecd disc for the 1st time....very nice...seems cool
[05:56] <syd67ro> Ber: but isnt multiverse for non-free software as well?
[05:56] <el-sio> yes but everything is at max in alsamixer too
[05:56] <el-sio> :/
[05:56] <curs0r> my system mysteriously started killing X every time i try to launch a 3d app... 7800gtx, edgy, amd x2... anyone?
[05:56] <el-sio> I don't get it...
[05:57] <Ber> sydro67ro: yez but not for everything
[05:57] <martinimnetz> el-sio: yeah, got that part. Darn thing...
[05:57] <Gaspipe> i saw a video on google that showed how to do a dual boot using the install cd which made a partition on a HDD with XP pro already runn' on it
[05:57] <mythrys> irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-fr
[05:57] <el-sio> martinimnetz, can I ask you to check something ?
[05:57] <RandomDude16> how do I get
[05:57] <Gaspipe> how many gigs do u think i should allocate to ubuntu
[05:57] <Ber> syd67ro: try that: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
[05:58] <RandomDude16> gtkpod
[05:58] <RandomDude16> to send all music files
[05:58] <RandomDude16> to the ipod?
[05:58] <el-sio> in alsamixer, when you push PCM to the max, what gain value do you have ?
[05:58] <curs0r> by the end of the day i'll have a triple boot, Ubuntu, OSX86, and FBSD
[05:58] <martinimnetz> el-sio: sure, go for it.
[05:58] <martinimnetz> el-sio: got it.
[05:58] <shriphani> RandomDude16, the tutorial i posted to you s installation instructions
[05:59] <Ber> kuma: Ok, the program I told you about is very important but I think you should be able to unpack that *.tar-file of rainlender to somewhere, goto that folder and start it by double-clicking it (have you tried that?)
[05:59] <martinimnetz> el-sio: gain value?
[06:00] <el-sio> db gain=0.0
[06:00] <el-sio> in the upper part
[06:00] <el-sio>  Item: PCM [dB gain=0.00, 0.00] 
[06:00] <syd67ro> are there any extra steps required to make skype work after installation (regarding sound)?
[06:00] <hairulfr> bulmer: Hmm, I did mkfs, but I still don't have permission, the problem is that I'm running low on space on my /Home, and I need somewhere to move a lot of files
[06:00] <Ber> syd67ro: i installed it and it worked
[06:00] <shriphani> syd67ro, the latest version doesnt cause problems
[06:00] <bb_> j'ai un problme avec les v4l et les modules ov519
[06:01] <mnoir> !fr | bb_
[06:01] <ubotu> bb_: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:01] <kuma> Ber: http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/1463/2eh3.png
[06:01] <seamus7> Anyone using an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 on Edgy Eft?
[06:01] <kuma> Ber: The rainlander wasn't in the Kpackager list
[06:01] <martinimnetz> el-sio: don't see any indication of that value, sorry. where should i see it?
[06:01] <Gaspipe> are drivers specific to xp? in other words i bought a linksys usb phone kit for skype...will that driver work for linux?
[06:01] <bulmer> hairulfr: you can pair down some files in /tmp see if you can regain some space...and regarding mount...you are mounting it as root?
[06:02] <Plaa> my laptop harddrive is clicking, the command hdparm -B 255 /dev/hda works but I have to do it everytime I reboot, is there any way to edit the hdparm.conf to do this automaticly???
[06:02] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound working on edgy
[06:02] <Ber> kuma: might be in another repository... Ok, unpack all that files in a folder you like (e.g. /home/kuma/rainlender)
[06:02] <el-sio> alsamixer gives you a graphic of your channels level martinimnetz , and with left arrow, select PCM with UP arrow push it to max
[06:02] <hairulfr> bulmer: Yeah, it wouldn't let me mount as usr,
[06:02] <el-sio> and on the ITEM description line
[06:02] <el-sio> you should read
[06:02] <Ber> kuma: than go to that folder and start rainlendar2
[06:02] <hairulfr> bulmer: I have plenty of space, Ubuntu just won't write to it :(
[06:02] <el-sio>  Item: PCM [dB gain=0.00, 0.00] 
[06:03] <el-sio> well actually not 0 i hope
[06:03] <kuma> Ber: ok, but doesn't the programs i install have to go in a default linux folder (like /bin/ or something like that?)
[06:03] <el-sio> :D
[06:03] <bulmer> hairulfr: typically devices are mounted as root, but you have already read the man pages on fstab right?
[06:03] <Ber> kuma: hm, do not know enough about linux if there is a special folder for programs, but you don't need to install rainlender
[06:04] <hairulfr> bulmer: Yes, I did, rather confusing I think, hmm.
[06:04] <martinimnetz> el-sio: just checking whether we're talking about the same screen. Seems we do, basically. But i only read: "Item: PCM" and nothing else.
[06:04] <kuma> Ber: ok... unpacking
[06:04] <bulmer> hairulfr: what is the fstab entry you made to mount that partition?
[06:04] <el-sio> humff
[06:04] <el-sio> strange
[06:04] <el-sio> so now I am quite sure the problems comes from here ^ ^
[06:05] <martinimnetz> el-sio: no indication of db gain whatsoever.
[06:05] <kuma> Ber: unpacked
[06:05] <hairulfr> bulmer: Uhm, I didn't use fstab, I just mounted it  - - that's the problem?
[06:05] <n2diy_> ! gnash
[06:05] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[06:05] <el-sio> thx for trying martinimnetz
[06:05] <el-sio> :)
[06:05] <Ber> kuma: okay, try to start rainlendar2
[06:05] <bulmer> hairulfr: no its not a problem,,  type mount and paste here the line for that mounted partition you wish to write on
[06:06] <Ber> kuma: it's not working, is it?
[06:06] <kuma> Ber: yes it is :)
[06:06] <lisette> im on dapper and when i do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" it tells me "ubuntu-desktop: Depends: x-window-system-core but it is not going to be installed" how to fix it?
[06:06] <martinimnetz> el-sio: sure, no worries. the only entry giving me a gain value is mic boost.
[06:06] <Ber> kuma: happy rainLendering
[06:06] <kuma> Ber: lol, thanks
[06:06] <Ber> kuma: welcome
[06:06] <el-sio> and what is this one martinimnetz ? mine is around 22
[06:07] <martinimnetz> el-sio: 20 db
[06:07] <mnoir> lisette: if you use apt-get you will need to do such dependent installs first.  if you use synaptic, alot of that will be done sutomatically
[06:07] <makuseru> can someone please help me get sound working on edgy
[06:08] <Anders> :O
[06:08] <hairulfr> buler: Oddly, that partition doesn't show up, but it's is mounted, I can read it
[06:08] <lisette> mnoir: what?
[06:08] <bulmer> makuseru: i dont know much about sound..but try  alsaconf  to see if it will detect your sound chips..etc
[06:08] <hairulfr> bulmer: Oddly, that partition doesn't show up, but it's is mounted, I can read it
[06:08] <el-sio> ok thx martinimnetz
[06:09] <mnoir> lisette: it is saying that a dependency must be met but you have not asked to install it
[06:09] <bulmer> hairulfr: thats odd..can you again type mount and see what partitions are mounted? you normally can not read an unmounted partition
[06:09] <mnoir> lisette: synaptic instead of apt-get is more helpful on this
[06:09] <lisette> mnoir: i have xorg installed
[06:10] <mnoir> lisette: i didn't see anything about xorg - your question referred to x-window-system-core
[06:10] <Stolencheese> 'Lo all, I'm back.. And you know what that means!
[06:10] <Stolencheese> I have a problem!
[06:11] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[06:11] <bulmer> hairulfr: which drive and which partition you want to use?
[06:11] <mnoir> Stolencheese: so do we?\
[06:11] <Stolencheese> *Yay! Cheer! Woot! Boo! Bah!*
[06:11] <Stolencheese> Doesn't everyone Mnoir, Doesn't everyone..
[06:12] <Stolencheese> Anywho, Can't live stream teh radio in Rythmbox. Says something along the lines of "Couldn't start playback:", Any ideas? My mate's done the exact same URL and it works for him.
[06:12] <phr34ck> Hey, I'm having this error when I'm trying to boot from the dvd: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[06:12] <phr34ck> what am I suppose to do to fix it?
[06:12] <Stolencheese> By DVD, You mean Live CD yea?
[06:13] <curs0r> ok, this is starting to scare me, my screen is randomly turning itself on and off
[06:13] <Stolencheese> Curs0R, Check it's properly plugged in.
[06:13] <phr34ck> Owhhhhhhhhhhhh wait, nevemrind.
[06:13] <Tmi> curs0r: using DVI?
[06:13] <phr34ck> I put the wrong DVD, *went to search for the AMD version*
[06:13] <Tmi> heard DVI-connected screens might do that sometimes
[06:13] <ExxKA> Stolencheese you have got the propper codecs, right?
[06:13] <curs0r> Tmi, yes but it never did this until just now
[06:14] <Tmi> dont have one myself yet so i don't know
[06:14] <curs0r> Tmi, my X server has been mysteriously crashing on 3d apps too, just started a few days ago
[06:14] <skmidry> Anybody has experience with WPA with Intel 3945 wireless?
[06:15] <skmidry> I'm using dapper and am unable to configure WPA
[06:15] <skmidry> with my router being WRT54G linksys
[06:15] <Tmi> Afraid I'm a total linux newbie so I can hardly help :P
[06:15] <Stolencheese> Yep, Tbh, I installed Linux today and already been asked a load of questions.
[06:16] <curs0r> huh, i stopped mplayer and now my screen seems to have stopped blanking
[06:16] <hou5ton> my Home folder gets cluttered up with things I download and install, and then don't know how to move.
[06:16] <Stolencheese> And somehow managed to solve one.. o.O
[06:16] <baxter_kylie> Hi. I'm using 6.10 and can't find the madwifi module. Has this been rolled into the kernel?
[06:16] <jrib> hou5ton: go to places > home and move them
[06:16] <martinimnetz> Bye everybody.
[06:16] <Stolencheese> Hou5ton: Drag them to the bottom right corner, A little (orange?) trash can is there.
[06:17] <carlos> hello, i install rdesktop 1.5 but i still get "connection reset by peer" messages
[06:17] <hou5ton> jrib:   Stolencheese:  well ... actually, a couple of them are applications that got installed in my home folder because I didn't know better
[06:17] <hou5ton> For example, IE, Google Earth, .....
[06:18] <hou5ton> I have IE installed because FireFox won't work to update attendance and grades on the college website where I teach.
[06:18] <hou5ton> weird
[06:18] <emss> how would use speed up nautilus on ubuntu 6.10?
[06:18] <Ber> hou5ton: kick the webmaster of that site??
[06:18] <h3xis> hou5ton, maybe you should try a different browser
[06:18] <emss> use/you, this is an older system and nautilu is extremely slow, I mean over a seconds to display a directory with one directory inside it
[06:18] <emss> that is sloooooow
[06:18] <hou5ton> h3xis:   I did ... that's why I installed IE
[06:19] <h3xis> hou5ton, IE is terrible :P i mean opera
[06:19] <carlos> is there another client like rdesktop
[06:19] <cardboard_box> hello
[06:19] <hou5ton> h3xis:   all I need to do with it is enter grades and attendance ... just takes a few minutes
[06:20] <jrib> hou5ton: there's nothing wrong with leaving them there
[06:20] <hou5ton> jrib:   ya .... I was just saying that I wish I had known better when I installed them, so I would have put the someplace else .. they are kind of cluttering there
[06:21] <jrib> hou5ton: if you want to install something system-wide that isn't available in synaptic then /opt and /usr/local are good places, but your $HOME works fine too if you just have one user.  Do you know about sudo?
[06:21] <hou5ton> jrib:   yes
[06:21] <cardboard_box> how do i use ubuntu to kill my enemies?
[06:21] <jrib> hou5ton: k, so do you just want to know the "move" command then?
[06:22] <jrib> cardboard_box: ubuntu is a peaceful distro
[06:22] <h3xis> cardboard_box, youve already lost the battle
[06:22] <cardboard_box> damn!
[06:22] <Ber> jrib: Is there a posibility to make a new program available via bash from everywhere without typing in the exact folder?
[06:22] <hou5ton> jrib:   well .... if it's anything like windows, if I move something it is sure to break
[06:22] <Goldline> ey guys i got a question uh well im not sure if someone form outside can connect to my irc server, i know that it works over the lan, so i was hoping someone could ?
[06:22] <h3xis> Ber, yes. you need to put it in your $PATH. "how" you ask? i do not remember
[06:23] <jrib> Ber: sure, just put (a link to) the binary somewhere in your $PATH.  /usr/local/bin is usually a good spot for custom stuff
[06:23] <h3xis> Goldline, what's the server
[06:23] <Ber> thaxs @h3xis & jrib!
[06:23] <Goldline> sec
[06:23] <jrib> hou5ton: it should work, you can always move it back if it doesn't :)
[06:23] <TuxCrafter> does someone now what the apport service does?
[06:24] <dcordes> Did somebody try Far Cry on wine?
[06:24] <Goldline> h3xis i dont sail i pm the irc server address ? i dont have a domain yet...
[06:24] <mnoir> hou5ton: or cp instead of mv then test then rm the old one if ok
[06:24] <h3xis> Goldline, sure
[06:25] <Goldline> can u pm me, i cant find the pm button, srry
[06:25] <hou5ton> ok .... so where is the most likely folder that would be used for applications?  I don't see one named "Programs"  ??
[06:25] <jrib> hou5ton: if you want to install something system-wide that isn't available in synaptic then /opt and /usr/local are good places, but your $HOME works fine too if you just have one user.  Do you know about sudo?
[06:25] <jrib> erm ignore that last part, I just scrolled up
[06:26] <mnoir> hou5ton: optional
[06:26] <TuxCrafter> does someone now what the init.d/apport service does?
[06:27] <jrib> hou5ton: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES
[06:27] <mnoir> hou5ton: http://www.pathname.com/http://www.pathname.com/fhs// for more info
[06:27] <gurkZor> Can someone help me with my apache2 server?

[06:28] <laura-sara> hello
[06:29] <MKR> Are sink?
[06:29] <MKR> D:
[06:29] <TuxCrafter> does someone now what the init "apport" deamon service does?
[06:29] <mnoir> gurkZor: exactly how are you starting apache2?  did it ever work - what did you change?
[06:29] <gurkZor> It did work some days ago
[06:29] <jrib> TuxCrafter: apt-cache show apport
[06:29] <emss> TuxCrafter: apport?
[06:29] <mnoir> gurkZor: release 6.06 or 6.10?
[06:30] <Goldline> eh anyone else want to try to ocnnect to my server, h3xis doesnt respond to my pms
[06:30] <Stolencheese> GurkZor: Try taking your socks out the discdrive. Bwahahaha! I'm so lame.. ;(
[06:30] <mnoir> of ubuntu?
[06:30] <h3xis> Goldline, i pmed you.
[06:30] <gurkZor> I've changed /etc/hosts, /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[06:30] <TuxCrafter> jrib thanks i will keep that trick in mind
[06:30] <h3xis> Goldline, you didnt respond
[06:30] <Goldline> i pmed the irc server address back, u received that ?
[06:30] <gurkZor> mnoir:  6,10 (edgy?)
[06:30] <h3xis> Goldline, no
[06:30] <Goldline> huh, hows that possible, i pmed u back
[06:30] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Is there a chess app that compares to MSN Chess? All the one's I've found for Linux either look terrible or are not very intuitive. MSN Chess is great though. Anything similar for Ubuntu?
[06:30] <grimboy> I shall call it rapid sync.
[06:31] <mnoir> gurkZor: 1.  what goal for your changes.  2.  maybe restore all your backups of those files and start over slowly?
[06:31] <h3xis> Goldline, do /msg h3xis blahhh
[06:31] <TuxCrafter> bye gus thanks for the help
[06:31] <curs0r> turns out the problem with my video driver was that one really should pay attention and run that script as root
[06:31] <mnoir> gurkZor: i have a working lamp sys on 6.10 and 6.06 here :)
[06:31] <gurkZor> mnoir: 1. I was at a LAN-party, 2. Backups? :-D
[06:31] <gurkZor> I'll try to find my backups..
[06:32] <glyn> hey, how do I mount a CD-ROM drive?
[06:32] <Alakazamz0r> mount /media/cdrom
[06:32] <Goldline> u got it
[06:32] <glyn> hmm it gave me this message
[06:32] <h3xis> Goldline, no. just do it in pastebin or something
[06:32] <N1kki> Hi, just a quick question, is there any way to get Ubuntu to auto login
[06:32] <glyn> mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist
[06:32] <Alakazamz0r> glyn, do you have a CDROM in it?
[06:32] <glyn> yeah
[06:32] <Alakazamz0r> glyn, try "mount -a"
[06:32] <mnoir> gurkZor: hmm - so you were just making it all work on the temp lan?
[06:33] <gurkZor> Yup mnoir
[06:33] <Stolencheese> N1kki: I don't think so... I wish there was!
[06:33] <jin> I love Ubuntu
[06:33] <mnoir> gurkZor: my files are pretty plain vanilla on 6.10 - you want me to pastebin?
[06:33] <glyn> hmm that doesn't do anything at all
[06:33] <N1kki> oh, darn :(
[06:33] <Gizmo_the_Great1> When I close the lid on my laptop it hibernates, as per the Power Management settings. But it doesn't actually turn itself off (unlike the Windows hibernate) - it just goes into like a Stand By mode. Any ideas how to get it to hibernate but turn itself off to preserve battery, other than a full shutdown!ny ideas why hibernate on Edgy
[06:33] <higltypig> hi guys -I've got my speedtouch ADSL kinda working but it seems that I have to manually run the pppd command everytime to get it to connect - any way to get this to autoconnect?
[06:33] <Goldline> h3xis just pm me again, it has to work
[06:33] <gurkZor> mnoir: no thx, I'll try to use my backups
[06:34] <Stolencheese> N1kki: I've just been informed, You can!
[06:34] <h3xis> there i pmed you again Goldline
[06:34] <glyn> I've been having problems with the CD-ROM drive but I thought maybe I'd have to mount it to get it to work
[06:34] <N1kki> i've got 3 machines and am working with iptables, only one monitor attached to the middle pc, hence when i turn them all on i wanted it so it autologins
[06:34] <mnoir> gurkZor: ok - if you figure out exactly what went wrong let me know :)
[06:34] <N1kki> or can I login via SSH even if no one is logged in yet?
[06:34] <Goldline> h3xis i justy pmed: you see this message now, u got that ?
[06:35] <h3xis> n1kk1 you can use ssh even if no1 is logged in
[06:35] <h3xis> Goldline, no.
[06:35] <Stolencheese> N1kki: Found the answer!!
[06:35] <Stolencheese> Everyone listen for Auto-Login!!
[06:35] <mnoir> N1kki: yes ssh will work - the machine is not using the local x session for the remote access
[06:35] <h3xis> Goldline, it's on your end because im able to pm other people now
[06:35] <Goldline> hm what now, i dont wanan give out my ip to everyone
[06:35] <mnoir> N1uuh - the remote x session i mean
[06:35] <h3xis> Goldline, why not?
[06:35] <baxter_kylie> Anyone know how to get madwifi working in 6.10?
[06:35] <Goldline> h3xis could you set up ur own room, so i can give my ip there
[06:35] <Stolencheese> System > Administrator > Login Window > Security      For Auto login!!
[06:35] <N1kki> wowser
[06:36] <h3xis> Goldline, #goldline
[06:36] <N1kki> sorry my kid brother typed that!
[06:36] <cypherdelic> hello
[06:36] <mnoir> :)
[06:37] <Stolencheese> Did that answer your question Nikki? :)
[06:37] <curs0r> oh for the love of god, now firefox turns off my monitor when i load it... what the hell is that?!
[06:37] <alok> hi i am using ubuntu 6.06  inew usr i want start bittorent but in my application option its not shows then how i start bit torrent pls advise me
[06:37] <N1kki> yes :)
[06:37] <cypherdelic> can anyone help me with "no sound playing videos", xmms works!
[06:37] <N1kki> answer was to login via SSH right?
[06:37] <N1kki> oh i got you
[06:37] <N1kki> i just saw your msg now
[06:38] <Stolencheese> Anmswer was for Auto-Login,

[06:38] <N1kki> nice one :)
[06:38] <atoponce> driving me nuts
[06:38] <mnoir> N1kki: you can but he was giving you another answer
[06:38] <Stolencheese> Go to Login Screen, And there's lots of options,
[06:38] <Stolencheese> Even Remote acess.
[06:38] <djm62> alok: double-click on a .torrent file or click on a torrent link
[06:38] <N1kki> yep sorry just saw that, good work!
[06:38] <N1kki> thanks stolencheese
[06:38] <Stolencheese> Np,
[06:38] <curs0r> oh good, mplayer is doing it too
[06:38] <Gizmo_the_Great1> what command will list the IP addresses of all the machines running on my netwrok?
[06:38] <dcordes> wow we cracked the +1000-users-on-the-channel-mark
[06:38] <Stolencheese> Nikki: I set my custom message to: If your not James! Restart and select Windows this time! Linux Ftw!
[06:39] <djm62> alok: bittorrent should start automatically then
[06:39] <whta> How can I get sound recording working with a USB mic?
[06:39] <higltypig> in the DIAL file for the speedtouch ADSL, if I increase the sleep=1 to sleep=50 - that would make it wait longer between tries right?
[06:39] <N1kki> lol
[06:40] <Goldline> h3xis i dont see you on my irc server
[06:40] <Goldline> so i closed it
[06:40] <h3xis> Goldline, because it refused my connection. it said i wasnt authenticated
[06:40] <Goldline> how can i fix that ?
[06:40] <cypherdelic> can anyone help me with "no sound playing videos", xmms works!
[06:41] <cypherdelic> please
[06:41] <atoponce> a have a daemon running on ports [6666|7|8|9] . any idea how to figure out what the daemon is?
[06:41] <h3xis> Goldline, no idea. ive never ran an ircd
[06:41] <whta> also i read somewhere that there's an official package out for windows fonts. how can i get hat?
[06:41] <cypherdelic> ive tried installign the codecs from synaptics
[06:41] <curs0r> well... i guess i have to go back to windows, ubuntu is unusable if it's going to do this
[06:41] <h3xis> whta, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[06:41] <Goldline> did you put in my ip without the port number and did you then press the connect button ?
[06:41] <whta> thanks h3xis
[06:41] <h3xis> Goldline, i type /server <your ip>
[06:41] <parktownprawn> cypherdelic: what codec did you try install
[06:42] <Hoag> Hey, is it possible to make a program independant of the set theme?
[06:42] <Goldline> is that the same as you would have added me through the netwoel list ?
[06:42] <Goldline> network list *
[06:42] <N1kki> ok just restarted, hopefully should auto-login (although it didnt ask for my password, just selected the user to login)
[06:42] <Hoag> Ie, Have open office display the human theme, while the rest show my custom theme?
[06:42] <alok> djm62: thnx 4 ur valuable info
[06:42] <h3xis> Goldline, i guess? i'm in bitchx
[06:42] <tim167> i have dualhead working, two identical screens, but mouse cursor just on one how come ?
[06:42] <h3xis> Goldline, it defaults to 6667
[06:43] <Goldline> i opened up 6667 tcp, and i forwarded it to my lan ip in the router/firewall
[06:43] <h3xis> Goldline, it's not a forwarding issue
[06:43] <N1kki> nice it worked!
[06:43] <ardchoille42> Hoag, I don't think so. Usually, the app just loads and gnome-settings-daemon takes care of the theme stuff.
[06:43] <h3xis> Goldline, sounds like identd
[06:43] <Goldline> identd ?
[06:43] <curs0r> i think this might be the most annoying possible event
[06:44] <tim167> why doesnt my second monitor show the mouse cursor (everything else is mirrored) ??
[06:44] <Goldline> so you suggest turning off that option ?
[06:44] <h3xis> Goldline, it's the auth protocol
[06:44] <h3xis> Goldline, yes
[06:44] <Hoag> ardchoille42: Alright, cheers. Then, is there any fast way to switch themes, like a panel button?
[06:44] <Goldline> how ?
[06:44] <h3xis> Goldline, i dont know :P
[06:44] <Goldline> do you know how i can turn it off ?
[06:44] <higltypig> in the DIAL file for the speedtouch ADSL, if I increase the sleep=1 to sleep=50 - that would make it wait longer between tries right?
[06:44] <Oncer> What is the path of the desktop folders in Ubuntu
[06:44] <Oncer> Please.
[06:44] <h3xis> Goldline, no. refer to the deamon's documentation or google it?
[06:45] <ardchoille42> Hoag, There might be, although I have never seen this. This would be quite cool.
[06:45] <h3xis> Oncer, /home/your_user/Desktop
[06:45] <Oncer> Thanks.
[06:45] <Hoag> ardchoille42: Hehe, alright. I'll prowl the internet. Thanks for the time.
[06:45] <ardchoille42> Hoag, You can do a search at http://www.gnomefiles.org/ and if you find something there,  check to see if the app is in the repos before installing from source.
[06:46] <curs0r> over 1000 people in here and no one has any idea?
[06:46] <carlos> nope
[06:47] <h3xis> curs0r, just because you cant get it to work in ubuntu doesnt mean you should revert back to windows :P
[06:47] <N1kki> sorry curs0r whats teh problem, your monitor turns off?
[06:47] <N1kki> i just cant link firefox to your monitor turning off
[06:48] <Hoag> ardchoille42: Can't find anything. I'll keep my eyes peeled though, cheers :)
[06:48] <QuaLjyn> h3xis: sometimes ubuntu does lead to show-stopping problems though :(
[06:48] <curs0r> N1kki, this just started today, not just firefox, almost any app other than xchat or gaim or termianl
[06:48] <curs0r> terminal
[06:48] <djm62> curs0r: what has changed since it didn't happen?
[06:48] <rmorris84> curs0r: what's wrong? lol
[06:48] <ardchoille42> curs0r, Before you "go back to Windows", if you can't get it fixed, try a different Linux distro. I have found that an unfixable problem in one distro won't even be a problem in another distro.
[06:48] <h3xis> QuaLjyn, actually i was referring to the hint of choosing another distro :P
[06:48] <Stolencheese> http://tech.mikelopez.info/2006/09/14/worlds-dumbest-hacker/
[06:48] <N1kki> very strange, i mean if it was a program that changed your resoluton or something to work then its understandable
[06:48] <QuaLjyn> h3xis: haha, i assumed so :)
[06:49] <curs0r> my 3d apps are no longer taking out X since i recompiled the nvidia 97xx driver, but i hve this intermittent blanking
[06:49] <N1kki> xchat and gaim have GUI too right?
[06:49] <sgorf> curs0r: Sounds like a dodgy graphics card or driver or dodgy monitor to me. Try lowering your screen res.
[06:49] <h3xis> N1kki, uh. yeah. that's all they have
[06:49] <hou5ton> UGH ... lost the link you guys posted that describes all about the file structure of linux.  Still got it??
[06:49] <tim167> Dual monitor setup, two identical screens, but no mouse cursor visible on one of them, how come ?
[06:49] <curs0r> sgorf, so it's just luck that it's been working fine for the last 2 months?
[06:49] <QuaLjyn> h3xis: actually i'm a windows lover myself. But my work leads me to interest myself in linux - and of the many different distros ubuntu (debian) seems the best to me
[06:49] <gili> hello...do you guys know what i neeed to install to have aMSN read hebrew the correct direction...Right2left?
[06:49] <N1kki> just trying to think what does xhchat and gaim do differently from firefox
[06:50] <whileimhere> Can anyone tell me what app is running the bar on the bottom of this screen shot? http://twiki.im.ufba.br/pub/Main/CleytonFabio/pixies_kde_ubuntu_4.10.png
[06:50] <djm62> curs0r: is it definitely /because/ you launch firefox or similar? not just happening at a similar time?
[06:50] <sgorf> curs0r: If you've not changed anything then it's even more likely to be a hardware fault. Once it goes off does pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 bring it back?
[06:50] <QuaLjyn> h3xis: I do quite a lot of .net next to my primary work as an oracle admin. But linux sure seems nice :)
[06:50] <h3xis> QuaLjyn, i use debian now. only reason im here is because i like helping people when i feel like it and problems are are usually easy to troubleshoot
[06:51] <curs0r> sgorf, that has no effect on it really, it stays blank the same amount of time and then tty1 shows
[06:51] <N1kki> right gotta go, C ya later, thanks for the help guys
[06:51] <tim167> h3xis: i have an easy one : Dual monitor setup, two identical screens, but no mouse cursor visible on one of them, how come ?
[06:51] <N1kki> good luck curs0r, dont let this put you off
[06:51] <curs0r> now it's doing it with only xchat running
[06:51] <chavo> whileimhere, probably superkaramba
[06:51] <QuaLjyn> h3xis: not that many months ago i hired one like you. A brilliant technician who advocates ubuntu, but uses debian himself :)
[06:51] <h3xis> QuaLjyn, well, let's just say i dont advocate ubuntu haha
[06:51] <whileimhere> chavo: Thanks it looks aweosome is there anything like it in gnome?
[06:51] <QuaLjyn> h3xis: and he kinda stirred my interest in linux :)
[06:52] <QuaLjyn> :))
[06:52] <ardchoille42> whileimhere, that is the kicker (panel in KDE) that just has transparency set for the background of the kicker.
[06:52] <chavo> whileimhere, gdesklets
[06:52] <h3xis> tim167, give me a sec and i'll look it up and ask around
[06:52] <gili> hello...do you guys know what i neeed to install to have aMSN read hebrew the correct direction...Right2left?
[06:52] <ardchoille42> whileimhere, notice the KDE menu button on the far left?
[06:52] <djm62> curs0r: I didn't come in when you were describing the problem originally: can you give a quick summary of the ways in which your setup differs from ubuntu 6.10 straight after installation?
[06:52] <chavo> archangelpetro, I think he means the dock type bar abothe kicker
[06:52] <tim167> h3xis, that would be great, it took me several hours to get the second display already :)
[06:52] <whileimhere> ardchollie42 yes I see that I meant above that first bar.
[06:52] <sgorf> curs0r: One of two things is happening: 1. something decides to change your (monitor) clock speed (eg. change res), or 2. hardware/driver fault. There's no reason why starting an app would change screen res unless you're using a really weird window manager. So if you've not changed anything a hardware fault sounds likley
[06:52] <curs0r> djm62, quick? no...
[06:52] <ardchoille42> chable, oh, my bad
[06:52] <wishyjr> hello chaps, i'm getting a 'failed to fetch' error when trying to upgrade to edgy from dapper. The actual error is: Failed to fetch http://media.blutkind.org/xgl/dists/dapper/Release.gpg Could not connect to media.blutkind.org:80 (216.55.142.216). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[06:53] <h3xis> tim167, that in itself is already a great feat. time after time i see people come in here dying to know how to do that
[06:53] <ardchoille42> Well, there's two people bitten by tab completion, lol
[06:53] <chavo> it might be gdesklets also
[06:53] <wishyjr> any thoughts? is there a server down or anywhere i can get what i need?
[06:53] <ircusr> hey
[06:53] <ircusr> someone please tell me the command to rename a file in linux
[06:53] <ircusr> ??
[06:53] <chavo> whileimhere, there are also a couple of dock programs available that can do the sam thing
[06:53] <ardchoille42> ircusr, mv
[06:53] <h3xis> ircusr, mv filename filename2
[06:54] <curs0r> sgorf, if that's true then my hardware was damaged by ubuntu or an app under ubuntu
[06:54] <eamusic> Hi there!
[06:54] <Rookie-1> mv old.name new.name
[06:54] <ircusr> isnt that for moving a file?
[06:54] <whileimhere> chavo like?
[06:54] <h3xis> ircusr, yes but it renames
[06:54] <ircusr> ah
[06:54] <ircusr> ok
[06:54] <sgorf> curs0r: In that case I think you're trolling
[06:54] <ircusr> thanks!!
[06:54] <ardchoille42> ircusr, it's the same thing
[06:54] <k010> Rookie-1, also used to rename
[06:54] <k010> Rookie-1, if its in the same dir
[06:54] <mike-e> i need to burn a dvd using .avi's i downloaded, do i need to convert them to some other format?
[06:54] <tim167> h3xis: I dove into xorg.conf hacking like a pro ;)
[06:54] <curs0r> sgorf, just because you don't know the answer doesn't mean i'm trolling jerk
[06:54] <eamusic> How i activate the openGL rendering in ubuntu 6.10 edgy
[06:54] <h3xis> tim167, my xorg.conf is a virgin
[06:54] <chavo> whileimhere, kooldock,kiba dock or ksmoothdock are some
[06:55] <parktownprawn> wishyjr: looks like you added some repository to install xgl right?
[06:55] <HymnToLife> eamusic, do you have correct drivers for your graphics card installed ?
[06:55] <whileimhere> They all seem to be KDE based
[06:55] <sgorf> curs0r: If you have recent hardware it isn't possible for any OS to damage hardware
[06:55] <whileimhere> I am thinking of going to try out KUbuntu
[06:55] <djm62> curs0r: as lengthy a description as it takes of the difference between your current setup and ubuntu 6.10 straight off the CD would be handy.  (Installing a new kernel is more relevant than installing emacs, for instance)
[06:55] <k010> Rookie-1, sry man thought u were asking the questin
[06:55] <chavo> kiba dock isn't kde based, but I believe it needs XGL/AIGLX
[06:55] <gili> hello...do you guys know what i neeed to install to have aMSN read hebrew the correct direction...Right2left?
[06:55] <chavo> I haven't tried any of the dock apps in a while
[06:56] <Rookie-1> k010 - nope, just answered on the q howto rename
[06:56] <ardchoille42> mike-e, You can burn the avi's to a dvd with a burning app. If you mean to create a viewable DVD from avi files, try looking at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337268
[06:56] <djm62> curs0r: or just anything you've done in the time between when you last knew it was definitely working and when you first realised it definitely wasn't... whichever is easiest
[06:56] <h3xis> tim167, im still looking. ive found people who have been able to get it working but theyre not telling how
[06:56] <curs0r> sgorf, then my hardware isn't damaged
[06:56] <wishyjr> parktownprawn: yeah, i think i did
[06:57] <wishyjr> do i need to remove that?
[06:57] <k010> how can i excute a bash script using a shortcut
[06:57] <curs0r> sgorf, if it were this problem would have arisen long ago
[06:57] <tim167> h3xis: hmm
[06:57] <parktownprawn> wishjyr: well i would advise removing that first
[06:57] <jrib> k010: use a symlink
[06:57] <wishyjr> parktwonprawn: thanks. i'll try that
[06:57] <h3xis> tim167, when you go into console does it span across both of them or are you given 2 consoles?
[06:57] <eamusic> HymnToLife: I have installed all drivers for my Nvidia FX5500 and its working
[06:58] <sgorf> curs0r: Have you tried an alternate monitor? Have you tried lowering your screen res? No? Then we don't know. You should try it because then at least you've eliminated that possibility
[06:58] <tim167> h3xis 2 consoles, and that's what I need btw
[06:58] <LiquidScythe> hi
[06:59] <parktownprawn> wishjyr: i would also advise checking out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[06:59] <ardchoille42> hi
[06:59] <eamusic> HymnToLife: i have installed CEDEGA, but when it goes to rendering probe of openGL it fails
[06:59] <pollywog> when I use the less command to view a file and I then use 'v' to edit, nano opens the file, how can I change this behavior to open vim?
[06:59] <gili> hello...do you guys know what i neeed to install to have aMSN read hebrew the correct direction...Right2left?
[06:59] <HymnToLife> can't help you with cedega, sorry
[06:59] <LiquidScythe> when i try and boot up ubuntu from the cd it freezes at the loading bar screen
[06:59] <HymnToLife> maybe you could try some native game to sse if openGL works there
[06:59] <LiquidScythe> it just freezes at the last bar of the loading bar
[06:59] <HymnToLife> see*
[06:59] <pollywog> eamusic: Nvidia?
[06:59] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: How much RAM do you have?
[07:00] <LiquidScythe> hmm
[07:00] <parktownprawn> wishjyr: it might be advisable to remove any non standard: ie. not from the Ubuntu repositories before upgrading
[07:00] <MKR> dihydrogen monoxide is fun
[07:00] <ardchoille42> pollywog, I just put "export EDITOR=vim" (without quotes) into ~/.bashrc and it worked.
[07:00] <LiquidScythe> 750 MB i think and like 512 MB video RAM
[07:00] <pollywog> ardchoille42: thanks
[07:00] <MKR> oh, wrong channel
[07:00] <h3xis> tim167, i'm not sure about this dual monitor stuff as ive never done it before, but i keep seeing a reference to "xinerama" are you using that?
[07:00] <wishyjr> parktownprawn: hey, that worked -thanks very much!
[07:00] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: Then that isn't the problem. What speed did you burn the CD at?
[07:00] <ardchoille42> MKR, yes, water is fun ;)
[07:01] <pollywog> eamusic: Nvidia?
[07:01] <MKR> :D
[07:01] <LiquidScythe> very low speed
[07:01] <tim167> h3xis: yes, xinerama was the only way i could have 2 identical screens
[07:01] <parktownprawn> wishjyr: good luck
[07:01] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: Did you check the ISO's md5sum?
[07:01] <LiquidScythe> yes
[07:01] <tim167> h3xis, that I know of at least...
[07:01] <LiquidScythe> i chose the boot iso image
[07:01] <LiquidScythe> in nero
[07:01] <LiquidScythe> it took a while tho for some reason
[07:01] <LiquidScythe> like half an hour to 45 mins
[07:02] <eamusic> pollywog: Yes
[07:02] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: To burn?
[07:02] <LiquidScythe> yes
[07:02] <ardchoille42> pollywog, You may have to log out and back in for the system to pick up changes to ~/.bashrc
[07:02] <h3xis> tim167, what video card?
[07:02] <curs0r> sgorf, there's nothing wrong with my hardware, now say something useful or let someone else try to help
[07:02] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: 4x speed I assume, hm.
[07:02] <LiquidScythe> yes
[07:02] <LiquidScythe> im pretty sure
[07:02] <sgorf> curs0r: And you know this how?
[07:02] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: I would just try a simple reburn then, it took me about 6 CDs even on 4x.
[07:02] <pollywog> ardchoille42: yes thanks
[07:02] <curs0r> well because it's fine in windows and osx86
[07:02] <tim167> nvidia drivers, card = Gainward 6600 -something
[07:02] <LiquidScythe> reburn?
[07:02] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: Use another CD though, don't wipe/burn.
[07:03] <pollywog> eamusic: what does the glxgears command do?
[07:03] <LiquidScythe> k i have one left
[07:03] <h3xis> tim167, okay im seeing that TwinView works
[07:03] <LiquidScythe> should i change the speed?
[07:03] <Pobega> RW or R?
[07:03] <pollywog> what does it show, gears?
[07:03] <sgorf> curs0r: That doesn't tell you anything. Windows and OS X will be using different clock rates even at the same resolution
[07:03] <LiquidScythe> or what
[07:03] <Pobega> Well I did mine on 8x, seemed to work fine. I'd keep it on 4x though, just to be safe.
[07:03] <h3xis> tim167, it tricks X into thinking there is 1 screen so that you can use your mouse across them
[07:03] <Pobega> Are these CDs old/scratched?
[07:03] <sgorf> curs0r: That's why I said drop your res as then if it works you know that it could be the X ModeLine
[07:03] <LiquidScythe> no
[07:03] <LiquidScythe> they are new
[07:04] <LiquidScythe> and in the case
[07:04] <Pobega> Are they CD-R or CD-RW?
[07:04] <LiquidScythe> CD-R
[07:04] <LiquidScythe> CD-RW
[07:04] <tim167> h3xis is TwinView an Option for ServerFlags ?
[07:04] <h3xis> tim167, i'm looking
[07:04] <curs0r> sgorf, wrong, there's no frequencies specified in my modelines
[07:04] <Pobega> Okay, I'd try to redownload and burn it onto another CD if possible.
[07:04] <h3xis> tim167, try this: http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html
[07:04] <pollywog> eamusic: try the glxgears command in a console and see if you see gears spinning
[07:05] <mnk0> sup
[07:05] <mnk0> im having problems with mounting a 83/linux drive
[07:05] <sgorf> curs0r: Then it's using the default or whatever it's got using DDC or whatever it's called. You still have them. If you're not prepared to accept suggestions then please go away, or accept that you aren't going to have your problem fixed.
[07:05] <h3xis> tim167, tell me how it goes, im kind of interested
[07:05] <mnk0> ive always just used mount -t ext3 /dev/hdc /mnt/hdc
[07:05] <LiquidScythe> can you find me a link to download
[07:05] <mnk0> i get wrong fs type error now
[07:06] <eamusic> pollywog: i gonna do
[07:06] <curs0r> sgorf, as i requested before, say something useful or be silent
[07:06] <Pobega> mnk0: Try mount -t auto
[07:06] <pollywog> eamusic: k
[07:06] <curs0r> that's interesting, totem doesn't blank the screen, mplayer does...
[07:06] <mnk0> Pobega: still same error about must specify the filesystem type
[07:07] <PORDO> when i press the "power" button, i'm being logged out, instead of seeing the options menu (hibernate, restart, log out, switch user, etc.)
[07:07] <eamusic> pollywog: it works!
[07:07] <PORDO> this just started.
[07:07] <sgorf> curs0r: Drop your resolution and see if it stops, or try a different monitor. That will help eliminate a hardware fault and maybe isolate it to your modeline
[07:07] <pollywog> eamusic: okay that's good but it means I don't know why that test fails
[07:07] <Pobega> mnk0: Hmm...Does it recognize your drive? Try dmesg | grep hd
[07:07] <eamusic> pollywog: it apear 2 pieces moving
[07:07] <pollywog> eamusic: try asking on the Transgaming forums
[07:08] <pollywog> they might know why it fails
[07:08] <eamusic> pollywog: i think is that CEDEGA
[07:08] <mnk0> [17185862.288000]  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdb.
[07:08] <mnk0> [17185862.368000]  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdc.
[07:08] <mnk0> when i try to mount
[07:08] <parktownprawn> PORDO: that might mean the gnome-power manager is not running or has crashed
[07:08] <pollywog> Transgaming is Cedega
[07:08] <Pobega> mnk0: Like I said, try
[07:08] <Pobega> dmesg | grep hd
[07:08] <eamusic> yeah
[07:08] <nikin> hy
[07:08] <parktownprawn> PORDO: has the battery icon gone?
[07:08] <ardchoille42> mnk0, Are those cd or dvd drives?
[07:08] <Pobega> mnk0: Wait, sorry, I think i got that wrong.
[07:09] <mnk0> Pobega: i did that, and saw that there, ide hard disks
[07:09] <pollywog> because whenever I have seen it fail, it was missing glx or a mesa package
[07:09] <curs0r> sgorf, forgive my impatience, i just don't think that's right and i don't have another monitor
[07:09] <sgorf> curs0r: So drop your resolution then
[07:09] <mnk0> hmm, anything to look for in particular in the output of dmesg?
[07:09] <Pobega> mnk0: Yeah sorry, hold on.
[07:09] <LiquidScythe> can someone find me the link
[07:09] <LiquidScythe> to ubuntu
[07:09] <mnk0> [17179577.036000]  hdb: WDC WD2500JB-00GVC0, ATA DISK drive
[07:09] <mnk0> [17179577.408000]  hdc: WDC WD2500JB-00GVA0, ATA DISK drive
[07:09] <tim167> h3xis, I'll do without mouse cursor on 2nd screen for now, I'll look at it later, thanks anyway!
[07:09] <mnk0> kk
[07:09] <LiquidScythe> can someone find me the link
[07:09] <LiquidScythe> to ubuntu
[07:09] <LiquidScythe> can someone find me the link
[07:09] <daniel1988_> hi folks! how to set up keybord shortcut for changing keyboard layouts in gnome? Thanks
[07:09] <h3xis> tim167, alright
[07:09] <sgorf> curs0r: If your monitor turns off there are two reasons. Either you're using a modeline that it doesn't support or you've asked it to turn off (power saving).
[07:10] <sgorf> curs0r: That's it. No other possibilities apart from hardware fault
[07:10] <ardchoille42> LiquidScythe, http://www.ubuntu.com
[07:10] <LiquidScythe> ass
[07:10] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: http://ubuntu.com
[07:10] <LiquidScythe> ass
[07:10] <Pobega> mnk0: Hm, that looks right. It knows your hdc drive is there.
[07:10] <ardchoille42> LiquidScythe, ???
[07:10] <n2diy_> sgorf: will dropping the res lower the horz. scan rate?
[07:10] <pollywog> I have a small problem with my wifi card being enabled when I boot, even though I have not set it up to do that, is there a way to fix that?
[07:11] <whileimhere> Okay this is not ment to start a flame war so please dont  but what is the big difference between KDE and GNOME aside from looks? Is there a major license issue somewhere?
[07:11] <mnk0> i had them mounted fine .. on my other system
[07:11] <sgorf> n2diy_: It would normally drop everything
[07:11] <mnk0> as ext3
[07:11] <ardchoille42> LiquidScythe, Was that not what you wanted?
[07:11] <eamusic> pollywog: thank u very much
[07:11] <adaptr> !language | LiquidScythe
[07:11] <ubotu> LiquidScythe: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:11] <LiquidScythe> can someone get me the direct link
[07:11] <Pobega> mnk0: Hm, give me a minute to think.
[07:11] <LiquidScythe> =/
[07:11] <curs0r> sgorf, so mplayer decides my monitor frequency? i don't think so
[07:11] <pollywog> whileimhere: there were licensing issues but no more, it is a matter of preference
[07:11] <adaptr> !ubuntu
[07:11] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHowCome
[07:11] <Pobega> mnk0: What kind of drive is this?
[07:11] <ardchoille42> LiquidScythe, That is a direct link to what you asked for
[07:12] <Pobega> LiquidScythe: It's on the site, just browse a minute.
[07:12] <whileimhere> Is that so pollywag
[07:12] <LiquidScythe> i know
[07:12] <C_REATiVE> hy
[07:12] <LiquidScythe> i just dont want to get the wrong one
[07:12] <sgorf> curs0r: If your modeline isn't really supported by the monitor and is borderline, then the monitor may occasionally decide that it's too high and go off until you change what you're doing. It's all analog remember. I've seen it before. I'm betting you're using VGA and not DVI.
[07:12] <Pobega> x86 architectue?
[07:12] <mnk0> western digital
[07:12] <whileimhere> pollywog: what kind of issues?
[07:12] <pollywog> I find KDE has more apps and is "fancier" but again that is a matter of debate
[07:12] <curs0r> sgorf, wrong again
[07:12] <Pobega> mnk0: External?
[07:12] <n2diy_> sgorf: roger, sounds like curs0r has is h. scan rate to high, and is overheating the h. output transistor, which will eventually frie, if he doesn't correct it.
[07:12] <mnk0> no internal
[07:12] <pollywog> the OLD issues had to do with the licensing of QT
[07:12] <Oncer> How do I boot a GUI from root terminal?
[07:13] <Pobega> pollywog: KDE has always seemed too busy for me ;D
[07:13] <mnk0> there on the secondary IDE chain
[07:13] <nikin> what is the best vector based drawing program for Ubuntu?
[07:13] <pollywog> but Trolltech has addressed that
[07:13] <ardchoille42> LiquidScythe, Which version of Ubuntu do you want? Alternate LiveCD? Edgy? Dapper? Server?
[07:13] <whileimhere> QT? Quicktime?
[07:13] <daniel1988_> hi folks! how to set up keybord shortcut for changing keyboard layouts in gnome? Thanks... anyone?
[07:13] <h3xis> nikin, inkscape, so ive heard
[07:13] <pollywog> Pobega: yes I can see that some might think KDE is too busy
[07:13] <PORDO> parktownprawn battery icon?
[07:13] <Oncer> How do I boot the GUI from root terminal?
[07:13] <PORDO> gdm ?
[07:13] <tim167> how strange, when I want to power down I can only chose 'hibernate'. shut down and restart have dissapeared
[07:13] <parktownprawn> Oncer: typing "init 5" will start gdm
[07:13] <Pobega> mnk0: I'm still thinking about it, sorry.
[07:13] <pollywog> whileimhere: no, the QT widget set
[07:13] <Pobega> mnk0: I haven't forgotten you ;P
[07:13] <nikin> ok ty
[07:14] <Oncer> Thanks.
[07:14] <sgorf> n2diy_: I still reckon that his hardware understands and will protect itself. Everything built after maybe about 1985 will. But yes - some parameter in his modeline is borderline out of range for what his hardware will accept
[07:14] <mnk0> Pobega: ahh k that koewl, im tryin out some other things also
[07:14] <whileimhere> I see.
[07:14] <whileimhere> Okay
[07:14] <whileimhere> Hmm so its now just a matter of preference?
[07:14] <pollywog> whileimhere: Gnome uses GTK rather than QT
[07:14] <ircusr> hey
[07:14] <ircusr> i have a question
[07:14] <pollywog> whileimhere: yes
[07:14] <mnk0> Pobega: strange thing is, they were mounted in 'ubuntu 6.06' fine, i reinstalled my system with 'xbuntu 6.10' and now in this situation
[07:14] <ircusr> im running ubuntu from vmware
[07:14] <curs0r> i didn't even use autodetect (or dpms whatever it is) i specified the exact freqs of my montior
[07:14] <parktownprawn> PORDO: i mean the gnome-power panel applet - it disappears if the gnome-power manager crashes
[07:15] <ircusr> and im wondering if i can enable 3d accel from vmware
[07:15] <n2diy_> sgorf: agreed.
[07:15] <Pobega> mnk0: I'm using Xubuntu as well, it's a nice tidy DE isn't it?
[07:15] <erisco> what is a good hex editor? I did a cache search, but it came up with quite a few... any recommendations?
[07:15] <whileimhere> I used to love K3B and still use it but also tried gnomebaker
[07:15] <curs0r> well if you 2 are done jerking each other off...
[07:15] <pollywog> QT is not completely free, for example, you cannot use the free version of QT to make commercial software, only software that is not sold
[07:15] <ircusr> hello?
[07:15] <gouchi> Hi
[07:15] <whileimhere> Well I dont think its a problem for me cause I dont program software just use it
[07:15] <h3xis> ircusr, i do not think so
[07:15] <gouchi> I'm trying to login into Gnome
[07:16] <ircusr> it's not possible to have 3d accel from vmware?
[07:16] <gouchi> but I have this error on my .xsession-errors
[07:16] <mnk0> Pobega: oh yeaj i kno it's really sweet
[07:16] <oknewbie> greetings
[07:16] <Pobega> mnk0: Are you able to mount CDs, or is this problem isolated to just your drive?
[07:16] <pollywog> whileimhere: do you read TUX magazine?
[07:16] <gouchi> http://rafb.net/p/3dKbZx11.html
[07:16] <mnk0> it's just the drive.
[07:16] <h3xis> ircusr, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84344
[07:16] <whileimhere> pollywog: I have
[07:16] <sgorf> erisco: Years ago I used khexedit or something. That evolved into some kind of more generic binary editor IIRC. It was the best one I could find. Never found a GNOME/GTK one.
[07:16] <ircusr> what does it say?
[07:17] <pollywog> whileimhere: Mango Parfait?
[07:17] <h3xis> ircusr, go to it and see for yourself
[07:17] <gouchi> mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied running on Edgy
[07:17] <n2diy_> curs0r: heh, my monitor worksl! Your the one frying yours.
[07:17] <ircusr> my browser doesnt work
[07:17] <ircusr> could you read it to me plz?
[07:17] <erisco> sgorf, I will look into it, thanks
[07:17] <whileimhere> pollywog: Yes I read those
[07:17] <mnk0> Pobega: well also.. i had the cdrom .. on dev/hdc , when i installed, and then after i took the cdrom out, and put these drives in
[07:17] <pollywog> :)
[07:17] <curs0r> n2diy_, you're both idiots, i just fixed it
[07:17] <gouchi> is it related to xorg security fix ?
[07:17] <h3xis> ircusr, it's a website of instructions on how to get it to work.
[07:17] <h3xis> ircusr, i cant and wont read it to you
[07:17] <h3xis> ircusr, if youre having problems with your browser you should get that fixed first
[07:18] <Pobega> mnk0: Did you edit it in /etc/fstab? I'm not 100% sure if this is nessecary, but I wouldn't doubt it.
[07:18] <ircusr> ok
[07:18] <Pobega> mnk0: Actually, it is nessecary.
[07:18] <ircusr> but it can be done then
[07:18] <mnk0> Pobega: well i will edit in etc/fstab, once i can mount it
[07:18] <oknewbie> anyone here good with vpn setups?
[07:18] <pollywog> I thought we could not call ppl idiots here
[07:18] <mnk0> Pobega:  then i will know that it mounts first,
[07:18] <Pobega> mnk0: Well paste your /etc/fstab to http://www.rafb.net/paste/ if you can.
[07:18] <gouchi> any idea ?
[07:19] <whileimhere> Okay another question. When a software package gets installed it sometimes has other packages that it NEEDS to work. When you go to uninstall a package is there anyway to also auto uninstall those packages as well?
[07:19] <h3xis> ircusr, i dont know, probably
[07:19] <h3xis> ircusr, according to that site it can
[07:19] <Pobega> whileimhere: Use aptitude instead of apt-get
[07:19] <oknewbie> whileimhere use aptitude purge packagename
[07:19] <mnk0> Pobega: http://rafb.net/p/dvz2Cb30.html
[07:19] <gouchi> it seems it was related to /tmp right
[07:19] <Oncer> If my ndiswrapper version doesn't match up with the kernel, can I still connect to the net?
[07:19] <sgorf> whileimhere: Also, look into deborphan
[07:20] <gouchi>  chmod 1777 /tmp  makes it work
[07:20] <mnoir> whileimhere: no - there is a package called gtkorphan that can help though
[07:20] <mnk0> Pobega: the last 2 lines i added, and they error with same thing
[07:20] <Crescendo_> Why is sound bad quality when PCM volume is all the way up?  I have to turn it most of the way down to get good loud sound from my speakers.
[07:20] <pollywog> I have a small problem with my wifi card being enabled when I boot, even though I have not set it up to do that, is there a way to fix that?
[07:20] <whileimhere> mnoir: Really?
[07:20] <Tonren> Anyone familiar with rsync?
[07:20] <mnk0> Tonren: what about it?
[07:21] <mnk0> Tonren: ssh hostkeys?
[07:21] <Tonren> I'm trying to synchronize my home directory with a backup on a 60GB external USB 2.0 pocket hard drive with rsync, but when I use the --progress option, I can see that it's re-transferring files that were already backed up last time.  What's going on?
[07:21] <Pobega> mnk0: Hmm...It's just giving you a filesystem error?
[07:21] <h3xis> pollywog, deactivate it in Networking and it shouldn't be activated on boot
[07:21] <mnoir> whileimhere: i am not sure how to respond.  I didn'tmake it up...
[07:21] <mnk0> Pobega: wrong FS Type
[07:21] <Tonren> This is my command: rsync -avz --progress --exclude="music" --exclude="iso" --exclude=".*" /home/mcantor/* /media/WD\ Passport/mcantor
[07:21] <mnk0> Tonren: try --recursive
[07:21] <whileimhere> mnoir lol
[07:21] <Tonren> mnk0: -a includes --recursive
[07:22] <Pobega> mnk0: It sounds like something's up. What's on this drive, if you don't mind me asking?
[07:22] <mnk0> oh
[07:22] <pollywog> h3xis: I have 3 profiles and it is active in only one, or should be, but doesn't seem to work
[07:22] <machok> I'm using Ubuntu AMD64. My integrated NVidia 6100 is not recognised. When I go to "applications", it sais for the NVidia legacy driver - "In this version you cannot instal this driver". So, will it help if I install the i386 version - will it recognise my VC?
[07:22] <Tonren> mnk0: Also it's not *failing* to send files that's the problem, it's sending files that are already there.
[07:22] <sgorf> Tonren: What does 'speedup' say?
[07:22] <mnk0> Pobega: just data, it's got mp3's movies, and shit like that
[07:22] <pollywog> I guess I will disable it in all 3
[07:22] <Tonren> machok: I'm running 32bit ubuntu on my AMD64 and it runs fine
[07:22] <pollywog> thanks
[07:22] <whileimhere> In synaptic whats the difference between "Mark for Removal" or "Mark for Complete Removal"?
[07:22] <Tonren> sgorf: Command not found.
[07:22] <mnk0> Tonren: what about just update?
[07:22] <TruthElixirX> I need some help/advice on how to get Ubuntu running on my system. Everytime after I finish installing it, I reboot, and when it comes back on it says "Please insert boot media or restart." and it won't detect that Ubuntu has been installed on it. Its like the boot order is wrong or something? I'm not sure.
[07:23] <pollywog> whileimhere: the latter removes the config files too I think
[07:23] <Pobega> mnk0: Is it mountable through a LiveCD?
[07:23] <Tonren> mnk0: Command not found.
[07:23] <sgorf> Tonren: Sorry, it appears at the end of the rsync report.
[07:23] <Tonren> sgorf: Oooh.
[07:23] <mnk0> Pobega: yeah it was
[07:23] <machok> Tonren OK, so I should switch to i386 version?
[07:23] <Tonren> machok: Definitely.  Flash will work better, too, among other things
[07:23] <mnk0> Tonren: rynch --update
[07:23] <whileimhere> Pollywog why did you ask about mango?
[07:23] <Pobega> mnk0: Is it still? I mean, is it just not mounting from your Xubuntu install?
[07:23] <machok> Tonren OK, 10x
[07:23] <mnk0>  -u, --update                skip files that are newer on the receiver
[07:23] <machok> I hope they will fix the AMD64 version soon :)
[07:23] <pollywog> whileimhere: because she often jokes about KDE being better than Gnome
[07:23] <Tonren> mnk0: They won't be newer, though - they'll have the same times.
[07:24] <pollywog> if she is a she
[07:24] <Tonren> sgorf: I haven't seen the end of the report yet, because I haven't let it finish.  It would take days to completely retransfer every single file.
[07:24] <whileimhere> Pollywog: Oh I see. I didnt like the magazine because it was one sided. I am interested in using the best app for the job not for a system really
[07:24] <mnk0> Pobega: hdb will mount from the liveCD
[07:24] <mnk0> hdc is swaped with the cdrom
[07:24] <parktownprawn> Tonren: are you sure the files haven't changed
[07:24] <Pobega> mnk0: How about hdc?
[07:24] <Tonren> parktownprawn: Absolutely, positively, completely, utterly sure.
[07:24] <mnk0> like thats what i have to unplug to use the cdrom
[07:25] <Tonren> mnk0: I think --update might have done the trick
[07:25] <pollywog> whileimhere: I was quite irritated by it the first time I read it, because it is one-sided
[07:25] <mnk0> Tonren: gj
[07:25] <mnk0> ls
[07:25] <pollywog> whileimhere: but it is funny
[07:25] <parktownprawn> Tonren: hmmm - it seems strange - no idea
[07:25] <whileimhere> pollywog: Honestly I only read it because my cats name is Mango!
[07:25] <Pobega> mnk0: I had a very similar problem recently, but with the Gentoo 2006.0 LiveCD. I wasn't able to solve it, it wasn't recognizing anything on my HDD. I'd post this problem at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=135, and hope that someone with a bit more knowledge than me can help you solve your problem.
[07:25] <Tonren> parktownprawn: Yeah, it seems like it shouldn't need to have -u to make it ignore the already sent files, but wahtever...
[07:26] <pollywog> whileimhere: oic
[07:26] <mnk0> Pobega: /dev/hdc1               1       30401   244196001   83  Linux
[07:26] <oknewbie> anyone know how to vpn into ms network over broadband not dialup like all the howtos show
[07:26] <afflux> hi. i wantet to test the herd 6 release (please don't say anything, i know that it is alpha) and didn't want to install a new system but wanted to upgrade my existing ("no matter if it breaks..."). apt-get now says: "Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on python-minimal". any ideas on how to fix this?
[07:26] <mnk0> when i fdisk /dev/hdc
[07:26] <mnk0> it recognizes the drive
[07:27] <Pobega> mnk0: Hmm...So try mounting /dev/hdc1 instead of /dev/hdc?
[07:27] <mnk0> oh
[07:27] <mnk0> LOLLLL
[07:27] <mnk0> LOOOALLALLALAL
[07:27] <mnk0> thats it
[07:27] <mnk0> =/
[07:27] <Pobega> mnk0: Tell me if it works, haha.
[07:27] <mnoir> afflux: you might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 which is the correct channel for feisty
[07:27] <mnk0> no
[07:27] <curs0r> yeah... totally fine now, it was a permissions issue for some bizarre reason
[07:27] <Pobega> mnk0: Not working?
[07:27] <mnk0> i already know that , that was it
[07:27] <whileimhere> pollywog: of course now understand that my cat is a giant orange cat that is bigger than my dog.
[07:27] <mnk0> i'll put down $1k
[07:27] <Pobega> mnk0: Oh, haha. Man, I can't believe it was something so simple.
[07:27] <afflux> mnoir: k, thanks. haven't seen this.
[07:27] <curs0r> i fail to see how that would have given me half-operation as opposed to none but whatever
[07:28] <mnk0> HAHAH yeah man
[07:28] <mnk0> it worked
[07:28] <Pobega> mnk0: :D Congrats
[07:28] <mnoir> afflux: np - it isn't as well known as it should be :)
[07:28] <Oncer> I'm having trouble with ndiswrapper.
[07:28] <mnk0> Pobega: thankx mate, man, that was hilarous
[07:28] <parktownprawn> Tonren: perhaps you can test things by trying to back up a small directory with a few files which won't take too much time
[07:28] <mnk0> i can't belive i didnt think that
[07:28] <Pobega> mnk0: Yeah I know, that was great. Might want to update your fstab too? :P
[07:28] <Oncer> I have it set up and it says that it recognizes the driver and hardware.
[07:28] <mnk0> yeye ;)
[07:28] <Tonren> parktownprawn: Good idea.
[07:29] <Pobega> Okay well, I'm logging off. Bye everyone!
[07:29] <Oncer> But it has erros detecing my connection.
[07:29] <Oncer> errors*
[07:29] <Tonren> parktownprawn: Do you know of a way to compare two directory trees, to see if they're equal?
[07:29] <pollywog> Oncer: are you using a rt2500 card?
[07:29] <toty> hi, when the system is busy i should get the "busy/working in back ground" mouse curso instead the cursor disappers until the default pointer cursor returns... do i need to reinstall the cursors? how do i do that?
[07:29] <Oncer> Yes, how do you know?
[07:29] <mnoir> Tonren: diff
[07:29] <pollywog> oh good I can probably help
[07:29] <Tonren> mnoir: I didn't know that worked on directory trees
[07:30] <pollywog> Oncer: all you need to do is modify /etc/network/interfaces to get it working
[07:30] <curs0r> well i guess this is a good lesson, i wasn't watching for that kind of thing. i will in the future
[07:30] <mnoir> Tonren: there are a lot of options to make the output valuable as well - man diff for more
[07:30] <Oncer> Okay.
[07:30] <Tonren> mnoir: Examining it now
[07:30] <mnoir> Tonren: there are also gui versions
[07:30] <daniel1988_> hi folks! how to set up keybord shortcut for changing keyboard layouts in gnome? Thanks... anyone?
[07:30] <pollywog> I went through all sorts of howtos until I found that out last night
[07:30] <Tonren> mnoir: Oooh.  Any packages you nkow of?
[07:30] <Goldline> i need help
[07:30] <parktownprawn> Tonren: well just make a test directory foo/foo with some files foo1 foo2 etc  - shouldn't be hard to check by eye to get a handle on what rsync is doing
[07:30] <turbolover> hey has anyone had problems with firefox beign incredibly sluggish?
[07:30] <curs0r> Goldline, a little more to go on would help
[07:30] <TruthElixirX> Whenever I follow the instructions from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

[07:30] <pollywog> Oncer let me hop to my other machine and get you a url
[07:30] <Goldline> can nayone here try ocnnecting to my irc server, i asked many times but everyone is refusing

[07:31] <Gizmo_the_Great1> how do you update an installed package with command line? Is it 'apt-get update packagename'?
[07:31] <curs0r> TruthElixirX, use a pastebin geez
[07:31] <TruthElixirX> pastebin?
[07:31] <Tonren> Gizmo_the_Great1: It should automatically update installed packages.
[07:31] <mnoir> Tonren: looking - i would use synaptic and search for diff - they all have diff in the name like kdiff, gdiff and so on
[07:31] <pollywog> Oncer: I had exactly the same problem but does lsmod show rt2500 loads?
[07:31] <n2diy> ! pastebin | TruthElixirX
[07:31] <ubotu> TruthElixirX: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:31] <Oncer> One sec.
[07:31] <Goldline> cursor could you try to connect to my irc server, i just need to know if it works, thats all i sweaer
[07:31] <Tonren> mnoir: Cool
[07:31] <TruthElixirX> oh
[07:31] <curs0r> yeah sure
[07:31] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Tonren: Its aMSN - every time I start it it tells me about a new version, but its the app telling me, not the OS
[07:32] <Tonren> Gizmo_the_Great1: Probably, the new version hasn't hit the repositories yet.
[07:32] <Gizmo_the_Great1> Tonren: OK thanks
[07:32] <whileimhere> Whats a good alternative to kdes Kate?
[07:32] <Goldline> cursor, i dont see you in the list, so i cant pm you, do you see me in the list, could you pm me
[07:33] <curs0r> whileimhere, lol what is kate?
[07:33] <Tonren> mnoir: "apt-cache search diff" yields over 1000 results... XD
[07:33] <Wassili> hello
[07:33] <whileimhere> A great text editor
[07:33] <Tonren> mnoir: Time to pipe it into less
[07:33] <curs0r> whileimhere, and you need one for what DE?
[07:33] <Oncer> PollyWog: rt2750 shows up
[07:33] <naknomik> I want to compile and install some packages, when I run ./configure it complains there's no c compiler installed. Is there a metapackage that installs devlopment tools?
[07:33] <mnoir> Tonren: that is the unix way.  btw, most is better than less for some things
[07:33] <Oncer> A few other rt things too.
[07:33] <Oncer> So I would think so.
[07:34] <pollywog> Oncer: good, let me post you a URL it shows what you need to do
[07:34] <parktownprawn> whileimhere: depends what you want - something like abiword maybe?
[07:34] <Tonren> mnoir: Wait... there's more, less AND most?  WTF is most?
[07:34] <Oncer> Thanks a bunch.
[07:34] <mnoir> Tonren: cmmdline, colordiff is good too
[07:34] <toty> "busy" mouse cursor is blank, how do i get back the ubuntu "hourglass" type cursor back?
[07:34] <mr_> Hi! I've got some trouble getting my PCMCIA card to work on an IBM Thinkpad 600X. Can anyone help me, please?
[07:34] <parktownprawn> Tonren: dirdiff
[07:34] <mnoir> Tonren: ok, i am only going to say this once.  less is more and most is the most bestest one
[07:35] <Tonren> mnoir: Hardcore.
[07:35] <TruthElixirX> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1584/
[07:35] <parktownprawn> Tonren: apt-cache search diff | grep directory
[07:35] <Tonren> parktownprawn: Good call.
[07:35] <mnk0> man i feel like a noob after that ordeal
[07:35] <mnk0> hahaha

[07:35] <sgorf> Tonren: If you're still looking, I understand that star will do a binary directory tree comparision. I've never managed to find it though
[07:35] <Oncer> pollywog_: Thanks.
[07:35] <mnoir> Tonren: there is also a triple input diff
[07:36] <pollywog_> do what it says there and you will have WPA
[07:36] <sgorf> Tonren: Oh that's interesting, it's actually available. Hmm
[07:36] <Tonren> sgorf: What's actually available?
[07:36] <riotkittie> whats so great about most?
[07:36] <mr_> Hi! I've got some trouble getting my PCMCIA card to work on an IBM Thinkpad 600X. Can anyone help me, please?
[07:36] <Tonren> sgorf: Oh, oh.  "star".
[07:36] <toty> anyone have a clue?
[07:36] <Tonren> sgorf: Oh.  /ESS/-tar.  Not /STAR/.  Freaking GNU names
[07:37] <mobile> how do i get something added to my PATH variable when i log into GDM?
[07:37] <sgorf> Tonren: Hold on - what are you looking for? Binary directory comparision? That's it, right?
[07:37] <naknomik> Is thare an metapackage using which I can pull in all the necessary tools for compiling C programs?

[07:37] <riotkittie> toty: try mouse settings under ... the system menu?  either in pref or admin. probably preferences
[07:37] <curs0r> whileimhere, in gnome, probably not
[07:37] <faintofhearts> Hello everyone.
[07:38] <Goldline> cursor, i dont know why you dont reply., but did you get any of my pms ?
[07:38] <Tonren> sgorf: I want to backup my home directory to a pocket HD
[07:38] <faintofhearts> For some reason my direct rendering won't become enabled.
[07:38] <curs0r> Goldline, not a one
[07:38] <Goldline> oh i said: can u get onto my server
[07:38] <sgorf> Tonren: I think rsync is what you want for that! I'm not sure why it isn't working for you but that's what I'd look at
[07:38] <Goldline> therefore i pmed the ip
[07:38] <Goldline> you received the ip
[07:38] <Tonren> sgorf: Yeah, I'm running some small tests
[07:38] <curs0r> Goldline, you may be spelling my name wrong that's a 0 not an o
[07:38] <Tonren> sgorf: I still haven't figured it out though.  For some reason, if I run it without the -u option, it retransfers files that i've already transferred
[07:39] <faintofhearts> Does anyone think they would be able to help me with a direct rendering problem?
[07:39] <riotkittie> nick completion is your friend
[07:39] <Crescendo_> Why is sound bad quality when PCM volume is all the way up?  I have to turn it most of the way down to get good loud sound from my speakers.
[07:39] <Tonren> sgorf: And even though I ran it with -r, it DIDN'T transfer some directories that had changes
[07:39] <sgorf> Tonren: Only thing I'd suspect is filesystem type and matching dates and things. FAT stores to the nearest 2 seconds for example I think. I'd make it ext2.
[07:39] <Oncer> pollywog_: So exactly what do I do?
[07:39] <Goldline> cursor can u set up a private room so i can give you the ip there, i dont wanna give it to everyone
[07:39] <faintofhearts> The problem being that I can't get it enabled.
[07:39] <Oncer> Sorry I'm a newb.
[07:39] <mobile> when i run gnome-terminal from a gnome session, my PATH variable doesn't contain ~/bin, so my personal scripts aren't found.  it works when i log in without X running.  how do i fix this?
[07:39] <Mirro> i got problem with WLAN on my notebook, too few networks are shown, what can i do?
[07:39] <houston> whats the mouse theme app called???  i forget and I want to install it
[07:39] <Tonren> sgorf: I mean, i'ts retransferring stuff that's been there for months
[07:39] <toty> riotkittie:  tried setting to another cursor set but still no dice :(
[07:39] <curs0r> Goldline, i sent you a pm, look in the list on the left for my name
[07:39] <tim167> cant get online with ubuntu desktop machine help please ?
[07:39] <Oncer> Never mind.
[07:39] <pollywog_> Oncer: did you find the part in that URL that says to add about 6 lines to your interfaces file?
[07:39] <PORDO> does edgy use xkb or xmodmap?
[07:40] <sgorf> Tonren: By default rsync checks location and mtime only I think. Could you check manually that the mtimes match on something it's trying to transfer? Use stat
[07:40] <Goldline> your name isn ot there i only see: ubuntu server andu nder that room # ubuntu
[07:40] <riotkittie> toty: :(   i have no idea. sorry.
[07:40] <sgorf> Tonren: Oh and size too
[07:40] <curs0r> Goldline, ok, i'll send you another
[07:40] <Oncer> No.
[07:40] <toty> riotkittie: np, thanks for the go ;)
[07:40] <Goldline> yes i see your name now
[07:40] <Tonren> sgorf: Sure.
[07:40] <curs0r> Goldline, there, did you get that?
[07:41] <ziska> hello all
[07:41] <pollywog_> Oncer: it's almost halfway down that page
[07:41] <faintofhearts> Direct rendering doesn't work, and I can't figure out why. Does anyone think they could help me fix this and get rendering working?
[07:41] <curs0r> Goldline, now click on my name on the left and type
[07:41] <Tonren> sgorf: Also, watching rsync with --progress -v , I see that it PAUSES once every few seconds
[07:41] <Tonren> sgorf: It just...stops, then starts again after about 5 - 10 seconds
[07:41] <sgorf> Tonren: That'll be the USB being slow
[07:41] <sgorf> Tonren: Are you using USB2?
[07:41] <sgorf> Tonren: lsmod|grep ehci
[07:41] <Tonren> sgorf: Lame.  It's a USB2 device on a USB2 port
[07:41] <mr_> Hi! I've got some trouble getting my PCMCIA card (LAN, not W-LAN) to work on an IBM Thinkpad 600X. Can anyone help me, please?
[07:41] <ziska> can someone tell me how i can repartition the ntfs drive on my dual boot, i tried gparted, qtparted, tried both of those from live cd, and even tried partition magic in windows
[07:41] <Goldline> yea ?
[07:41] <pollywog_> Oncer: starts with a line like this: iface ra0 inet dhcp
[07:42] <Tonren> sgorf: usbcore               130304  5 usb_storage,libusual,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
[07:42] <tim167> can anyone help me get online with ubuntu ? I checked network settings, is DHCP, but doesnt work
[07:42] <Tonren> ehci_hcd               32520  0
[07:42] <parktownprawn> Tonren: sgorf might be onto something FAT could be  confusing rsync
[07:42] <Tonren> parktownprawn: That sounds likely.
[07:42] <pollywog_> just add all that stuff to /etc/networ/interfaces and put in your own SSID and passphrase
[07:42] <Oncer> Okay thanks.
[07:42] <pollywog_> and configure your router for either MIXED or B
[07:42] <mobile> how do i get something added to my PATH variable when i log into GDM?
[07:43] <sgorf> Tonren: You should be on high speed then. You can dig through /proc/bus/usb/devices (IIRC) but it's a pain to wade through it. Even when using USB2 it still does hang for a moment while Linux flushes stuff. End result is that it still runs close to top speed.
[07:43] <tim167> help please: no internet acces, checked all reasonable network settings, no idea what's wrong
[07:43] <Goldline> cursor II join room #goldline, plz join so i can give you the ip thats faster i think
[07:43] <Tonren> sgorf: Usually it transfers at 3-4MB/s
[07:43] <faintofhearts> I am having much difficulty enabling direct rendering. Anyone think they could help me out?
[07:43] <Tonren> sgorf: It dropped to 800KB/s during a large file transfer, though
[07:43] <pollywog_> Oncer: also install RaConfig
[07:43] <sgorf> Tonren: Check the stat thing though. I've never had the issue but FAT does store only to nearest two seconds I think.
[07:43] <ziska> help please, cant resize ntfs partition on dual boot
[07:43] <Tonren> sgorf: I'm running dirdiff on the two trees
[07:43] <pollywog_> because the utils in Ubuntu do not do WPA
[07:44] <Oncer> Okay thanks.
[07:44] <pollywog_> it was easy even for me
[07:44] <Tonren> curs0r: Sup, dude?
[07:44] <wick2o> pollywog_: there is a tool you can apt-get that does wpa
[07:44] <mnoir> mobile: PATH is a list of directories.  what do you want to add and why not add it permanently in the .bashrc ?
[07:44] <ziska> called network manager
[07:44] <ziska> network manager does wpa
[07:44] <wick2o> i forget what it is, but i found it in ubuntu unleashed and dont have my book handy
[07:44] <curs0r> Tonren, hi, have we spoken before?
[07:45] <faintofhearts> I am in great need of help in order to enable direct rendering.
[07:45] <Tonren> curs0r: No, but if I can help you with your IRC woes, I'd like to.
[07:45] <otacon22__> Next sathurday I have a hackmeeting and some people had asked me if will be possibile to make an apt server bacause we don't have internet, I can do it, but I don't know howto do
[07:45] <otacon22__> anyone know?
[07:45] <riotkittie> wick2o: network-manager-gnome?
[07:45] <tom_biggy> hello folks!

[07:45] <HymnToLife> !hi | tom_biggy
[07:45] <ubotu> tom_biggy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:45] <wick2o> riotkittie: that sounds like it

[07:45] <wick2o> but like i said, i dont really remember
[07:46] <jon__> sony hd5 on linux anyone?
[07:46] <tim167> i rebooted, restarted modem, waited for 2 hours, checked networking settings, all is normal, still no network, help please
[07:46] <Oncer> And what wireless device did you use pollwog_
[07:46] <faintofhearts> Looking for help for enabling direct rendering.
[07:46] <curs0r> Tonren, i wasn't referring to me haha i been using irc since 95
[07:46] <sgorf> otacon22__: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto.en.html and apt-proxy may help you too
[07:46] <HymnToLife> !anyone | jon__
[07:46] <ubotu> jon__: 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?
[07:46] <riotkittie> yah thats it. i am also reading unleashed. along with the oreilly ubuntu book.
[07:46] <Tonren> curs0r: Ahh, ok.  Sorry.
[07:46] <hairulfr> Hey all, anyone know a mirror to easyubuntu? (freecontrib.org is down)
[07:46] <mnoir> otacon22__: if  you google for 'local apt server' many links come up  http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2005/09/msg00430.html for example - shows some promise
[07:47] <otacon22__> tnx
[07:47] <mobile> mnoir: i don't think .bashrc is read when i run a command by, eg, pressing Alt-F2 and entering a command there
[07:47] <Oncer> pollywog_ what router do you have, and what wireless device?
[07:47] <mobile> mnoir: but i will try it again to be sure
[07:47] <faintofhearts> I can't use OpenGL because direct rendering it's enabled. Can someone help me enable it?
[07:47] <mnoir> mobile: you may be right.
[07:47] <faintofhearts> isn't*
[07:47] <pollywog_> I am using a Linksys WRT540GS
[07:48] <tom_biggy> can someoune help me? i can't mount removable devices after upgrading to kde 3.5.5
[07:48] <mnoir> mob - but one of the profile type files is...
[07:48] <Oncer> Okay.
[07:48] <Polygon89> faintofhearts: do you have your video card drivers installed/working?
[07:48] <tom_biggy> there MUST be a solution...
[07:48] <pollywog_> with not the original firmware but DD-WRT
[07:48] <faintofhearts> Polygon89: Yes, I do, but I still can't get direct rendering to enable.
[07:48] <pollywog_> my laptop has a ralink rt2500
[07:48] <Tonren> sgorf: The files on the WD Passport (external HD) are all newer
[07:48] <parktownprawn> otacon22_: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
[07:48] <Crescendo_> Why is sound bad quality when PCM volume is all the way up?  I have to turn it most of the way down to get good loud sound from my speakers.
[07:48] <tom_biggy> ohhh fuck ubuntu....
[07:49] <pollywog_> it worked out of the box in Linspire but took some work in Ubuntu
[07:49] <Tonren> sgorf: FAT32 is storing the time of change instead of rsync -a's request to store the original date
[07:49] <Oncer> pollywog_:  I see where the key goes in the config file, but not the passcode.
[07:49] <Polygon89> faintofhearts: you use ati or nvidia?
[07:49] <PriceChild> !language | tom_biggy
[07:49] <ubotu> tom_biggy: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:49] <curs0r> Crescendo, are you running a pre-amp or eq app?
[07:49] <jrib> mobile: use ~/.xprofile or ~/.gnomerc
[07:49] <tom_biggy> arrrgh
[07:49] <faintofhearts> Polygon89: Neither :P I have a very old intel chipset.
[07:49] <pollywog_> Oncer: just a sec
[07:49] <Crescendo_> curs0r, nope
[07:49] <sgorf> Tonren: I guess that's it then :)
[07:49] <faintofhearts> But it should be able to handle direct rendering easily.
[07:49] <Oncer> pollywog_ sure.
[07:49] <riotkittie> tom_biggy:  are you getting some kind of error message when you try to mount?
[07:49] <sgorf> Tonren: If you don't need another OS reading the disk I'd format it ext2
[07:50] <Polygon89> faintofhearts: so do you even have a video card or is it just intregrated on the motherboard?
[07:50] <tom_biggy> no i don't get any errors
[07:50] <tom_biggy> but
[07:50] <Tonren> sgorf: Aye.
[07:50] <tom_biggy> before upgrading an icon appeared on desktop
[07:50] <sgorf> Tonren: Or you could store the files differently like inside a tar or zip or something then use zip's only-update stuff
[07:50] <tom_biggy> but it doesn't appear now
[07:50] <pollywog_> pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="passphrase"
[07:50] <tom_biggy> :(
[07:50] <Shaba1> Hello folks
[07:50] <faintofhearts> Pollygon89: Intregrated I suppose.
[07:50] <Tonren> sgorf: The idea of a 20 GB zip/tar file literally terrifies me.
[07:50] <peace-keeper> then use rar
[07:50] <peace-keeper> :D
[07:50] <sgorf> Tonren: I deal with ~60G afio files :)
[07:50] <Oncer> Thanks pollywog_
[07:51] <pollywog_> yw
[07:51] <Tonren> sgorf: afio?
[07:51] <Shaba1> anybody here a windows user and ever use partition logic to get back and ubutu partition?
[07:51] <tom_biggy> do it doesn't mount it automaticly...
[07:51] <faintofhearts> However, when I was running on windows it saw better performance.
[07:51] <riotkittie> tom_biggy: have you checked your fstab? i dont see why that would have changed... but
[07:51] <sgorf> Tonren: Just a different format like tar cpio etc. It deals with large files and lots of inodes and devices nodes and everything properly
[07:51] <mnoir> Tonren: tar has been around forever - it actually means Tape ARchive :)
[07:51] <Tonren> mnoir: I knew that one, actually
[07:51] <Polygon89> faintofhearts: did you reconfigure xorg and all of that?
[07:51] <tom_biggy> just wait a minute :
[07:51] <tom_biggy> :)
[07:51] <Tonren> sgorf: Sweet.
[07:52] <Oncer> pollywog_ it isn't in the file.
[07:52] <Oncer> One second.
[07:52] <faintofhearts> Polygon89: Yes, and nothing.
[07:52] <faintofhearts> I have done it twice already >.<
[07:52] <whileimhere> Is there anyway to speed up gnome with any tweaks?
[07:52] <tom_biggy> /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[07:52] <tom_biggy> here's my cd rom string
[07:52] <pollywog_> Oncer: do you mean in your /etc/network/interfaces?
[07:52] <riotkittie> Shaba1: get back a ubuntu partition ?
[07:52] <mobile> jrib: thanks, i'll try that
[07:52] <pollywog_> or the file as shown in the url?
[07:52] <Polygon89> faintofhearts, what is the name of the intel chipset/integrated video card
[07:53] <faintofhearts> Hold on, I'll get it.
[07:53] <toty> "busy" mouse cursor is blank, how do i get back the ubuntu "hourglass" type cursor back? tried setting to another cursor set in prefs but that didn't work, any other ideas?
[07:53] <riotkittie> tom_biggy: ok that looks normal. i am clueless. sorry.
[07:53] <pollywog_> Oncer: that line is in the file I actually use
[07:53] <faintofhearts> Polygon89:  VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] 
[07:53] <Oncer> Oh.
[07:53] <tom_biggy> :(:(:(:(:(
[07:54] <Oncer> It itn'st in mine.
[07:54] <tom_biggy> someone said the problem is with HAL!
[07:54] <tom_biggy> i have to upgrade my hal
[07:54] <tom_biggy> but how?
[07:54] <tom_biggy> they said with the kde 3.5.4 repository
[07:54] <Oncer> Yes in that file polywog_, I don't know what's wrong.
[07:54] <tom_biggy> but i added it :(:(:(:(:(:((:(
[07:54] <pollywog_> Oncer: you have to add all those lines, they are not in your default interfaces file
[07:54] <tom_biggy> and nothing
[07:54] <tom_biggy> it says the newest version is installed
[07:55] <wwallace>  how the command would be if i want to install everything apt-cache search finds   like  apt-cache search xmame |   what?
[07:55] <Oncer> Okay.
[07:55] <whileimhere> Can Nautilus do FTP or will I need another prog for that?
[07:55] <riotkittie> tom_biggy: have you tried #kubuntu ? they may be more knowledgable about KDE and KDE problems there
[07:55] <sgorf> wwallace: apt-get install `apt-cache search xmame|awk '{print $1}'` but I haven't tested this!
[07:55] <jrib> whileimhere: it can do ftp, there is also gftp
[07:55] <pollywog_> Oncer: can I open a chat window to you?
[07:56] <tom_biggy> yes i tried
[07:56] <tom_biggy> :(
[07:56] <tom_biggy> but they took no notice :(:(:(:(:(
[07:56] <stepanstas> hey guys
[07:56] <Oncer> Sure.
[07:56] <riotkittie> #kde perhaps?
[07:56] <mr_> Hi! I've got some trouble getting my PCMCIA card (LAN, not W-LAN) to work on an IBM Thinkpad 600X. Can anyone help me, please?
[07:56] <tom_biggy> hmm
[07:56] <curs0r> huh, irssi is pretty nice...
[07:56] <mobile> jrib: mnoir: .xprofile worked for me.
[07:56] <Polygon89> faintofhearts: hold on, im looking at this site: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html
[07:57] <Antler> hello, could someone help this newbie to install rar/unrar please?
[07:57] <riotkittie> pretty nice is an understatement. irssi rocks the casbah.
[07:57] <stefg> !rar | antler
[07:57] <ubotu> antler: 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
[07:57] <stefg> !unrar-nonfree
[07:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unrar-nonfree - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:57] <pollywog_> Oncer: I am blocked
[07:57] <Polygon89> faintofhearts, it appears that your chipset isnt listed there. Where did you read instructions on how to install drivers for your chipset?
[07:57] <Oncer> Huh.
[07:58] <Oncer> It's probably because I'm not registered.
[07:58] <riotkittie> mr_: have you tried searching the forums? you may find help there. search with your laptop model, or specific card.
[07:58] <Oncer> I got it working though!
[07:58] <stefg> !info unrar-nonfree
[07:58] <ubotu> Package unrar-nonfree does not exist in any distro I know
[07:58] <mobile> should i have an environmental variable named _alias() that is many, many lines long, containing function definitions, etc?
[07:58] <Oncer> Thanks a ton for your help!!!!
[07:58] <pollywog_> oh that's it I need to change my nick
[07:58] <Kennell> Hello everyone - is this Channel for Support?
[07:58] <riotkittie> Kennell: uh huh.
[07:58] <roryy> stefg: looks like the packages are 'unrar' and 'unrar-free'
[07:59] <wwallace> sgorf, thanks ill post the results so you tell meif it worked?
[07:59] <faintofhearts> Polygon89: I had someone walk me through it. They had me install the i815 driver, or something along those lines.
[07:59] <stefg> roryy: yup!.... i hate it when packages cgange name in every friggin' release
[07:59] <faintofhearts> Perhaps it was i810.
[07:59] <Kennell> Cool, well i installed Ubuntu 6.1 now ... but Internetconnection isnt working (i amm now in WinXP Prof.)
[07:59] <whileimhere> Has anyone tried out Xara/ I am thinking about it since I hate how the GIMP has a million ssperate windows rather then just a single all encompasing window like photoshop
[08:00] <Skymarshal> We'd like to customize a Ubuntu CD with UCK. We need a fix IP address on the Ubuntu CD which we build with UCK. But it starts the DHCP client. Is there a clean way to disable the DHCP client and to preconfigure a fix IP address?
[08:00] <stefg> Kennell: aha!
[08:00] <ctkroeke1> Are the http://security.ubuntu.com edgy repos down? I just did a reinstall and I keep getting the following error :
[08:00] <ctkroeke1> Err http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main linux-headers-2.6.17-10 2.6.17.1-10.34

[08:00] <baxter_kylie> Hi. I'm having trouble starting my wireless support. Could anyone assist me? I have an atheros card.
[08:00] <ctkroeke1> oops
[08:00] <ctkroeke1> shoulda used pastebin
[08:01] <sancho> ftg
[08:01] <pollywog_> baxter_kylie: does that card use rt2500?
[08:01] <Kennell> I activated DHCP ... but Internetconnection is not working; i did not install Drivers for Lan (its onboard lan on a Asus P5B Deluxe Board)
[08:01] <n2diy> ! irssi
[08:01] <ubotu> irssi is a command line interface IRC client ( "sudo apt-get install irssi" without the quotes to try it out )
[08:01] <whta> my wine is broken! when i try to play cave story, i get a small black box in the upper left instead of my game window. sound and input works, but i can't see anything. anyone have any idea?
[08:01] <Kennell> do you HAVE to install network drivers?
[08:01] <mobile> can someone with edgy installed tell me if you have an env var named "_alias ()" that is very long, containing function definitions, etc in it?\
[08:01] <riotkittie> Kennell: i am basically useless when it comes to network issues. but throw some more info at us - are you on dialup? broadband? behind a router?
[08:01] <Amadeo> Trying to install the last World of Warcraft patch under wine...it's telling me "Waiting for files to close", but nothing happens after that
[08:01] <Polygon89> faintofhearts, hmm, ive seen this one two websites now,"The driver supports hardware accelerated 3D via the Direct Rendering Infrastruc-
[08:01] <Polygon89> ture (DRI), but only in depth 16 for the i810/i815 and depths 16 and 24
[08:01] <Polygon89> for later chipsets."
[08:01] <Kennell> its DSL; and yes, i am Behind a router
[08:02] <baxter_kylie> pollywog_: I have no idea. I don't think so. I'm just trying to get ath_pci modprobed but it can't find it and I don't see it in the repositories.
[08:02] <roryy> Kennell: for ethernet (i.e., standard wired LAN), typically there's no need to install a driver. It does depend on your hardware.
[08:02] <NeoGeo64> I got a problem.  When I try and use a higher fullscreen resolution on ZSNES, after the resolution sets the system freezes.  I have to reboot when it happens.
[08:02] <Kennell> Yeah its wired ... but im behind Router ...
[08:02] <curs0r> Kennell, ifconfig eth0
[08:02] <ablyss> mobile: not me
[08:02] <Li`lEndian> can anyone tell me a remote administration application for ubuntu that can connect to windows machines?
[08:03] <rohan> does the (k)ubuntu cd include 915resolution on the CD ?
[08:03] <faintofhearts> Polygon89: But direct rendering isn't enable. I SHOULD be able to enable it, but I can' figure out how.
[08:03] <Kennell> under windows?
[08:03] <pollywog_> baxter_kylie: I have just gotten my rt2500 to work and I know lots of ppl have trouble with them
[08:03] <ctkroeke1> Are the http://security.ubuntu.com edgy repos down? I just did a reinstall and I keep getting the following error : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1586/plain/
[08:03] <Tonren> sgorf: lol, I got an external hard drive so I could back up my laptop while I reformatted.  Now I'm gonna have to backup my external hard drive on my laptop while I reformat it.
[08:03] <curs0r> Kennell, under linux, this is ubuntu help not windows help
[08:03] <tim167> you know what ? I couldn't get network, because I powered off my desktop, but not entirely, and apparently the network card stays active (doesnt really reset) until you physically switch the pc off (with switch on the backside).
[08:03] <Tonren> Li`lEndian: How would you like to connect?
[08:03] <wwallace> sgorf, http://paste.debian.net/20066
[08:03] <Kennell> ... ok .. ill be back in a secound ... have to switch to ubuntu
[08:03] <wwallace> did it worked ok?
[08:03] <sgorf> Tonren: :)
[08:04] <NeoGeo64> Can anyone help me with my prob?
[08:04] <pollywog_> I have edgy and env does not show a long function like that
[08:04] <riotkittie> ahhh. people with only one pc scare me :P
[08:04] <sgorf> wwallace: Looks right to me
[08:04] <mnoir> !anyone  | NeoGeo64
[08:04] <ubotu> NeoGeo64: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:04] <sgorf> wwallace: Not sure that's what you wanted but you got what you asked for!
[08:04] <curs0r> how on earth was he going to configure his ubuntu nic settings under windows?
[08:04] <NeoGeo64> I got a problem.  When I try and use a higher fullscreen resolution on ZSNES, after the resolution sets the system freezes.  I have to reboot when it happens.
[08:04] <whta> my wine is broken! when i try to play cave story, i get a small black box in the upper left instead of my game window. sound and input works, but i can't see anything. anyone have any idea? i just tried reinstalling it to no avail.
[08:04] <roryy> ctkroeke1: security.ubuntu.com is up as far as i can tell (try browsing the URL with firefox, e.g.).  Do you possibly have a line 'http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main linux-headers-2.6.17-10 2.6.17.1-10.34' in your /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[08:04] <baxter_kylie> pollywog_: The wireless card isn't even in the system yet. I have to prep a hdd for physical installation on a machine with a kernel so that the machine will go up with an ssh server so that I can finish installation. That can't happen if the machine can't connect to the internet (wireless) so part of the prep is getting the wireless module set to start at boot.
[08:05] <mobile> ablyss: i have _ImageMagick() and _alias() env vars defined that contain function definitions'
[08:05] <wwallace> sgorf, thanks
[08:05] <parktownprawn> Li`lEndian: tsclient
[08:05] <Li`lEndian> Tonren, is there a graphical way to do it? i've heard some popular apps like vnc- have to look it up though
[08:05] <Tonren> whta: Gah!  Cave Story is a VITAL activity.  We have to get your Wine working.
[08:05] <Tonren> Li`lEndian: VNC could definitely work for you.
[08:05] <Tonren> whta: Have you tried noodling around in winecfg?
[08:06] <Li`lEndian> vnc, it is then :D
[08:06] <ctkroeke1> no, just "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse" both deb and source
[08:06] <pollywog> mobile: have you tried Google Linux and searched for the card?
[08:06] <Tonren> Li`lEndian: You'll have to install a VNC Server on the Windows box, and use "vncviewer [ipaddress] " to connect to it
[08:06] <Tonren> Li`lEndian: I think a good free VNC server/client pair is called SmartVNC.  Also maybe TightVNC.
[08:06] <mobile> _alias() contains function names like _apt_get(), _apt_cache(), etc
[08:06] <Tonren> Li`lEndian: I'm not sure if Windows' default Remote Desktop feature is a plain old VNC server, but I doubt it.
[08:06] <roryy> ctkroeke1: hrm, that looks right. could you perhaps put your sources.list on the pastebin?
[08:07] <pollywog> oops that was not for mobile
[08:07] <stepanstas> i have a panasonic printer and i have its driver cd compatable with win and mac, how do i install it (i was able to launch the install window)
[08:07] <pollywog> baxter_kylie: have you tried Google Linux?
[08:07] <stefg> !info tsclient

[08:07] <richard501> where is microphone volume control?
[08:07] <ctkroeke1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1589/plain/
[08:08] <Tonren> richard501: Double click on the speaker icon in your panel
[08:08] <pollywog> richard try kmix
[08:08] <pollywog> richard501:  try kmix
[08:08] <NeoGeo64> I got a problem.  When I try and use a higher fullscreen resolution on ZSNES, after the resolution sets the system freezes.  I have to reboot when it happens.
[08:08] <baxter_kylie> pollywog: All I need to do is start the wireless module ath_pci at boot which first means I need to install the module but I don't see it in the repos which means it's either rolled in the kernel or it's under a different name. I just need to know which.
[08:08] <richard501> thankyou .... Tonren thats great
[08:08] <Tonren> richard501: np
[08:08] <ctkroeke1> I'm on amd 64 athlon. I have ubuntu 64 bit installed
[08:09] <Tonren> ctkroeke1: I'm so sorry.  :(
[08:09] <pollywog> baxter_kylie: is this for Edgy?
[08:09] <stepanstas> is it possible to install a printer driver from a win and mac compatable cd
[08:09] <baxter_kylie> pollywog: Yes.
[08:09] <Antler> i cant find the unrar package, am i doing something wrong?
[08:09] <stefg> !printer | stepanstas
[08:09] <recu> i have bootloader problems between ubuntu and another linux on the same machine but another disk using lvm
[08:09] <Amadeo> Anyone happen to play WoW in wine?
[08:09] <ubotu> stepanstas: 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
[08:09] <Kennell> Here i am again .. i just tried "ipconfig eth0" in Terminal ... its says Command not Found
[08:09] <pollywog> baxter_kylie: lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/madwifi/ath_pci.ko
[08:09] <ctkroeke1> I've never had this happen before, until now with 64 bit ubuntu
[08:09] <pollywog> that is from my system
[08:10] <panos_bcn> hi guys xcuse me which is the channel for c++ programming?
[08:10] <Tonren> panos_bcn: I don't think there's a channel for that, really, because it isn't attached to a specific open source project.
[08:10] <Tonren> panos_bcn: Actually, it appears that there are 400 people in #c++
[08:11] <Tonren> Kennell: The Linux command is i*f*config, ifconfig, not ipconfig.
[08:11] <mnoir> Tonren: i was about to tell you that....
[08:11] <Tonren> Kennell: That got me for a while, too.
[08:11] <stepanstas> stefg:thanks, was looking for that
[08:11] <roryy> ctkroeke1: hrm, that looks OK. I have a last idea, which is to delete files from /var/lib/apt/lists, and force apt to re-download them
[08:11] <gma> panos_bcn: ##c++
[08:11] <panos_bcn> thanx
[08:11] <Kennell> oh dman :D - well ill be back in a min again ... switching to ubuntu ..
[08:11] <pollywog> baxter_kylie: so it would seem to be the madwifi Google 'madwifi ubuntu edgy'  I see there are problems with that one
[08:11] <roryy> ctkroeke1: you'd probably want to delete one of the security.ubuntu.com_* files
[08:11] <NeoGeo64> How do I get xchat to show the nick list?
[08:12] <riotkittie> NeoGeo64: are you using xchat or xchat-gnome?
[08:12] <gma> NeoGeo64: is it the xchat-gnome version? if so, Ctrl-U
[08:12] <NeoGeo64> whatever synaptic has
[08:12] <gma> NeoGeo64: it has both
[08:12] <gma> NeoGeo64: in different packages
[08:12] <NeoGeo64> xchat gnome
[08:12] <BenFP> is WINE what i need to run ms office on ubuntu?
[08:12] <roryy> ctkroeke1: if you do an ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists, it should be obvious how the files are named; main_binary is probably where linux-headers (the package giving the error) lives.
[08:13] <baxter_kylie> pollywog: I'm running a server kernel. What you're showing is a kernel module. I'm going to place a bet and guess that wifi has been removed from server kernels. I'll try a desktop kernel.
[08:13] <pollywog> baxter_kylie: see also http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Ubuntu
[08:13] <mnoir> BenFP: if it behaves itself - have you been to the wine site to check?
[08:13] <BenFP> no i'm on the add/remove window in ubuntu
[08:14] <NeoGeo64> I'm using xchat gnome
[08:14] <NeoGeo64> and i cant see the nick list
[08:14] <BenFP> it sais it can support some ms programes... so i thought that is what i need to run ms office
[08:14] <stefg> baxter_kylie: haven't followed your conversation, but you read !wifi already, didn't you?
[08:14] <pollywog> !wifi
[08:14] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[08:15] <NeoGeo64> this is too much trouble
[08:15] <ctkroeke1> sorry I was quite so long, I'm following your intructions
[08:15] <stefg> !repos OrangeOrange
[08:15] <stefg> !repos | OrangeOrange
[08:15] <ubotu> OrangeOrange: 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
[08:15] <gma> NeoGeo64: did you see my instruction to press Ctrl-U ?
[08:15] <jimmyk> anyone able to help me with the graphical network monitor and a wireless connection?
[08:15] <gma> NeoGeo64: no help! I mean, sheesh
[08:15] <stefg> !wifi
[08:15] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:15] <baxter_kylie> stefg: Yes. I'm installing a basic system (just a server installation + ssh) onto a hdd that will be mailed to my mother and put into her system since her hdd died. I'll finish installation over ssh but first I need wifi working else I won't be able to ssh in. Right now I can't get ath_pci modprobed
[08:15] <NeoGeo64> gma: I'm sorry, no I didn't.
[08:16] <NeoGeo64> gma:  Thank you.
[08:16] <gma> NeoGeo64: does it do anything?
[08:16] <Antler> is archive manager the same as unrar?
[08:16] <NeoGeo64> gma:  Yes, thanks. smile
[08:16] <gma> NeoGeo64: cool
[08:16] <NeoGeo64> Text is scrolling so fast in here and its so small I didn't see it im sorry
[08:16] <gma> NeoGeo64: np
[08:16] <Stolencheese> Question: Gaim connects with ICQ, But when it connects on to MSN it shuts down after a few seconds. Completely goes away, No warning or anything, Any ideas?
[08:16] <stefg> baxter_kylie: alright, you're at it... good lick :-)
[08:16] <OrangeOrange> if i enable ubuntu for universal repostitry .. what will that do?
[08:16] <stefg> *luck
[08:17] <NeoGeo64> is there any way i can make the nick list stay on screen? i keep having to hit ctrl+u everytime i want to see it?
[08:17] <BenFP> so is gaim going to let use pit display pics up soon?? and does it support webcams?
[08:17] <mnoir> OrangeOrange: allow you  to d/l pkgs in universal
[08:17] <ctkroeke1> makes no diff
[08:17] <baxter_kylie> Antler: No. archive manager is a gui application to act as a frontend to things like unrar or p7z or tar
[08:17] <Stolencheese> BenFP: You can already use display pictures.
[08:17] <OrangeOrange> mnoir: i dl these packages via cmd line?
[08:17] <gma> NeoGeo64: I've seen a screenshot with the side bar split in half vertically; not sure which version it was or how to reproduce it though
[08:17] <gma> NeoGeo64: bottom half had nick list in
[08:17] <BenFP> really :P where do i set that up? i couldn't find it
[08:17] <Stolencheese> Question: Gaim connects with ICQ, But when it connects on to MSN it shuts down after a few seconds. Completely goes away, No warning or anything, Any ideas?
[08:18] <curs0r> Stolencheese, well rest assured it has nothing to do with msn being poorly designed haha
[08:18] <mnoir> OrangeOrange: you can, or use synaptic or one of the other nice gui front ends
[08:18] <NeoGeo64> what kind of irc client doesnt have a nick list onscreen? sheesh
[08:18] <Vigo> Stolencheeze: Have you tried the YIM?
[08:18] <riotkittie> NeoGeo64: xchat-gnome, for starters :P
[08:18] <mnoir> NeoGeo64: i hate having the nick list on screen
[08:18] <OrangeOrange> mnoir: thanks.. so synaptic packet manaager get a list online?
[08:18] <Tonren> Whooo!  I'm about to do a fresh install and I'm POSITIVE I'm going to forget something obvious!!!
[08:18] <Tonren> I'm going to forget to backup my .vimrc or something
[08:18] <NeoGeo64> well i now think xchat gnome sucks.
[08:19] <stefg> !synaptic | OrangeOrange
[08:19] <ubotu> OrangeOrange: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[08:19] <riotkittie> NeoGeo64: try regular xchat
[08:19] <mnoir> OrangeOrange: it gives you the list and tools to choose and install
[08:19] <NeoGeo64> i will
[08:19] <Kennell> so .. here i am Again ..^^ the ifconfig eth0 didnt change anything ..
[08:19] <curs0r> NeoGeo64, dude, use classic xchat
[08:19] <NeoGeo64> i remember xchat being awesome
[08:19] <NeoGeo64> this is a gay version of xchat
[08:19] <riotkittie> or if you dont need the GUI, irssi is the way to go
[08:19] <mnoir> NeoGeo64: there are a zillion irc clients :)
[08:19] <Antler> Thanks baxter, i just installed unrar, but .rar archives are automaticly still open by archive manager.. how can i open rar archives with unrar?
[08:19] <gma> NeoGeo64: get the non gnome version then
[08:19] <curs0r> xchat is the pimp mirc wishes it was
[08:19] <roryy> ctkroeke1: hrm. I only have linux-headers-2.6.17-10_2.6.17-10.33 (as far as I can tell); your error refers to 10.34 though
[08:19] <NeoGeo64> riotkittie: IN 2007 we use journalised file systems and guis.
[08:19] <OrangeOrange> !i915
[08:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i915 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:19] <OiPenguinn> Is it possible to find a version 6.10 of Ubuntu which is based on kernel version 2.16.18 or higher?
[08:19] <OrangeOrange> damn.
[08:19] <Stolencheese> Vigo: What's YIM?
[08:20] <roryy> oh well
[08:20] <curs0r> Stolencheese, are you serious?
[08:20] <stefg> Antler: file-roller is a /common/ frontend to a variety of packagers
[08:20] <riotkittie> NeoGeo64: journal, schmournal. gui, shmui.
[08:20] <Stolencheese> I'm assuming, Yahoo Instant Messaging?
[08:20] <curs0r> Stolencheese, bingo!
[08:20] <Stolencheese> I don't use Yahoo
[08:20] <Stolencheese> Just MSN and ICQ.
[08:20] <NeoGeo64> thats why you need a JFS
[08:21] <BenFP> so how do i put a display picture on gaim?
[08:21] <jimmyk> anyone able to help me with the graphical network monitor and a wireless connection, as it's saying signal strength is 0%?
[08:21] <roryy> OiPenguinn: no, the kernel version is fixed per release; only critical updates are done.  You could try to compile your own kernel, though I believe there are many potential problems.
[08:21] <curs0r> i never saw a reason to use YIM, i'm already pestered to death by msn and aim
[08:21] <Vigo> Stolencheese: YIM is Yahoo Messenger, as I understand things, Yahoo and MSN have merged, perhaps useing the YIM will give you access to MSN clients
[08:21] <Antler> @ stefg is that an application? sorry i installed ubuntu for the 1st time today, its all really new to me
[08:22] <stefg> !file-roller | Antler
[08:22] <ubotu> file-roller: an archive manager for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 680 kB, installed size 4952 kB
[08:22] <riotkittie> ooh babys up. bbiab.
[08:22] <chrismhampson> can two linux distros share the same swap partition?
[08:22] <stefg> baah
[08:22] <riotkittie> chrismhampson: yes
[08:22] <tom47> chrismhampson yes
[08:22] <Antler> many thanks, gonna give it a try >:)
[08:22] <BenFP> so i can use WINE to run ms office right?
[08:22] <BenFP> any other app i can use that might be better then WINE?
[08:22] <OiPenguinn> roryy: I'm asking because my USB wireless adapter isn't supported in previous versions. I'm new to Linux and that's a crucial problem. Compiling a kernel (while offline!) is not an option ;-) Any suggestions?
[08:23] <tom47> benfp yes
[08:23] <curs0r> BenFP, that would depend greatly on the version of office
[08:23] <BenFP> like Cedega? is that only for games ?
[08:23] <dbbolton> BenFP codeweavers (proprietary)
[08:23] <hotti> how can i export mails from evolution?
[08:23] <Raffaello> hi everybody I wanna ask something about ubuntu audio system, I have 7+1 sound system but I can use only two speaker :D How can I set that problem?
[08:23] <NeoGeo64> You know, Linux used to be fast.  Ubuntu actually runs SLOWER than Windows XP on my machine.
[08:23] <stefg> Antler: File roller is only sort of a GUI shell for all the command line archivers on your system... so it deals with all the zip rar tgz and bz2 files, and passes them to the right 'engine'
[08:23] <NeoGeo64> I have 1.4GHz p4, 512mb ram
[08:23] <chrismhampson> riotkittie, thanks
[08:23] <NeoGeo64> im not a troll
[08:23] <curs0r> BenFP, cedega doesn't even work well for games much of the time
[08:23] <chrismhampson> tom47, thanks
[08:23] <adaptr> NeoGeo64: that's ancient
[08:23] <NeoGeo64> I know.
[08:23] <BenFP> can i use WINE for games too?
[08:23] <whileimhere> LOL
[08:23] <Polygon89> BenFP: i am curious on why you want to run ms office with wine. Open office and most likely abiword has really good ".doc" support
[08:23] <Antler> ok, do i need to configure it with command lines?
[08:23] <adaptr> NeoGeo64: then try kubuntu or xubuntu
[08:24] <curs0r> of the games i have that are on cedega's supported list 2 out of 12 work
[08:24] <roryy> OiPenguinn: hrm. easyish suggestions are look for another distro with a newer kernel (check fedora, opensuse, etc), or wait for Ubuntu 7.04 (or .0something) (``Feisty Fawn''), due in April (I think...?)
[08:24] <NeoGeo64> ubuntu is reaaaally slow.
[08:24] <Antler> if so i wont bother lol\
[08:24] <OiPenguinn> roryy: By the way, I have a ZyDAS zd1211 USB2.0 wlan adapter
[08:24] <Polygon89> BenFP, games are really shaky with wine and cedega
[08:24] <BenFP> i like the powerpoint on ms office...
[08:24] <Raffaello> is there any helper?
[08:24] <gma> NeoGeo64: my laptop is 1.1GHz (mobile chip) with 768MB RAM. it's fine.
[08:24] <dbbolton> http://winehq.org
[08:24] <adaptr> NeoGeo64: we get it, enough
[08:24] <BenFP> ah i see
[08:24] <riotkittie> i have a 650mhz / 256mb ram ... and notice no difference between xp and ubuntu
[08:24] <stefg> Stolencheese: blame MS/N) and /j #gaim
[08:24] <Polygon89> BenFP, the only game i have gotten to work on wine was "starcraft" and thats from like 98 lol
[08:24] <whileimhere> I dont know I use Win XP and Server 2003 at work with about 300 machines and they are always having issues with the databases or networks. I call Microsoft Products - Job Security!
[08:24] <BenFP> LOL
[08:24] <riotkittie> if anything, ubuntu is somewtha faster
[08:25] <gma> Polygon89: how hard was it to get it to run? I've been trying that a bit but it didn't fly
[08:25] <Stolencheese> GaiN?!
[08:25] <BenFP> i was told wine or cedega could possibly work.. guess i'll have to try
[08:25] <mnk0> anyone familiar with cvs ?
[08:25] <BenFP> should i get wine and cedega and then just test?
[08:25] <kestaz> how to disconnect from pppoe connection ?
[08:25] <gma> mnk0: yep
[08:25] <whileimhere> My neighbor uses Cedega and loves it.
[08:25] <wick2o> BenFP: those are kinda hit or miss
[08:25] <curs0r> BenFP, if you're that heavily invested in windows it's probaby better to dual boot
[08:25] <tom47> !gaim
[08:25] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[08:25] <pollywog> someone asked how to put a pic in Gaim go to Modify account > basic and click on the small console icon
[08:25] <Polygon89> gma, not that hard. The secret was to run winecfg and make sure that the cd drive that the cd was in and make sure it was mounted or detected right in winecfg
[08:25] <stefg> kestaz: sudo poff -a
[08:25] <kestaz> stefg, thx
[08:25] <BenFP> dude i hate windows... but i like ms office... :P
[08:25] <gma> Polygon89: okay, thanks. did you run it as a win95 or 98 system?
[08:25] <mnk0> gma: k, i got a question when i check files into the repository, it makes a file .. eg "index.jps,v"
[08:26] <mnoir> BenFP: or use openoffice which can open and store office docs
[08:26] <gma> mnk0: yeah
[08:26] <roryy> OiPenguinn: ah-ha. Fedora Core 6 has kernel 2.6.18
[08:26] <curs0r> BenFP, open office has mad kung-fu
[08:26] <sheriff> i have an usb flash disk but when i copy something into the drive , it doesnt appear when i plug-in again, so is there anything that i have to do?
[08:26] <Polygon89> gma, afterwards, it ran fine. I had to fool with the audio settings a bit to get so it wasnt like listening to static, but otherwise it ran fine
[08:26] <mnk0> gma how do i make use of that file ?
[08:26] <roryy> OiPenguinn: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc6/en_US/sn-OverView.html  -- and fedora.redhat.com in general
[08:26] <gma> Polygon89: brilliant, cheers. will try it
[08:26] <mnk0> gma:  like to use in my application code
[08:26] <gma> mnk0: you don't
[08:26] <Polygon89> gma, i forget what i ran it as, the default i think. just make sure its running in a WINDOW
[08:26] <gma> mnk0: you leave it well alone
[08:26] <panos_bcn>  hi guys, sorry, how can i make the userlist of each channel appear in xchat?
[08:26] <tom47> sheriff are you unmounting the flash drive ?
[08:26] <gma> mnk0: it's internal to your repository, and only the cvs program should use it
[08:26] <pollywog> does anyone know if spams can be blocked in Gaim when they are disguised as AUTH requests?
[08:26] <sheriff> no
[08:26] <Vigo> Stolencheese: Yahoo Instant Messenger is YIM, YIM and MSN are in collaboration now, they merged or something, anyhoots, if you can connect to YIM your friends or contacts are perhaps available through that medium, I knos it is not a fix, but it may be a workaround for you to try.
[08:26] <BenFP> lol ok ok i'll give oppenoffice a try.. i just know that i tried to do a presentation on openoffice and it completly fudged up when i ran it on powerpoint
[08:26] <Polygon89> gma, if you run it as full screen its gonna screw stuff up, I ran it at 800x600 fine (i use 1024x768)
[08:26] <sheriff> tom47: no
[08:26] <gma> mnk0: you should use a copy in a 'working directory'
[08:26] <mnk0> gma oh, so then how do i deploy the latest copy
[08:27] <gma> mnk0: in other words you need to check it out to another location
[08:27] <sheriff> tom47: do i have to unmount it?
[08:27] <mnk0> gma oh ok, so how do i do that?
[08:27] <gma> mnk0: where is your repository? on your own computer?
[08:27] <curs0r> Stolencheese, there are other im clients as well gaim is not the end-all
[08:27] <ja> hi all
[08:27] <gma> Polygon89: cheers, noted
[08:27] <mnk0> gma:  no another box
[08:27] <gma> Polygon89: (and 'shame!')
[08:27] <mnoir> BenFP: the conversion may not be 100% - you gotta play a little.
[08:27] <tom47> sheriff then try doing that ... buffers are not flushed unless you unmount it .. eject i think ... right click on the icon on yr desktop ane ejct/unmount properly
[08:27] <ja> guys, anybody knows how to run ssh so that it gets password from stdin?
[08:27] <gma> mnk0: okay. are they both on your own network, with a secure link between them, or is one out on the net?
[08:27] <ja> ssh user@host < file_contaioning_the_pw does not work
[08:28] <pollywog> ja why not use ssh-agent?
[08:28] <stefg> Ja: why don't you set up RSA auth?
[08:28] <BenFP> and what about photoshop? i love that application... anyways to run it on ubuntu?
[08:28] <OiPenguinn> roryy: Fedora and OpenSuse are both five CD's and from what I can tell does not a live version which is equally easy to use. Plus, I'm concerened about the degree of userfriendlieness and size/support of the community compared to Ubuntu. Do you have any general comments?
[08:28] <curs0r> BenFP, have you tried Gimp?
[08:28] <Polygon89> BenFP, you can try "gimp" which is a really powerful program
[08:28] <yanger> ben42, only 7.0 seems safe to run under wine/ubuntu
[08:28] <boguh> hi, i have the problem that my sound is running to fast, mp3s and so on are played too fast
[08:29] <ja> stefg: because I haven't got a way to do it
[08:29] <Polygon89> BenFP, and you can try "gimpshop" or something to make the gimp have menus and the setup of photoshop
[08:29] <roryy> OiPenguinn: hrm. I believe there is a fedora live cd out, actually. I'll look for a link in a mo
[08:29] <sheriff> tom47 : i ejected it but how can i copy files now?
[08:29] <mnk0> gdm yes that is the case
[08:29] <yanger> ben42, gimp is nice too though
[08:29] <ja> pollywog: huh? ssh-agent?
[08:29] <gma> mnk0: which is the case? both on your network?
[08:29] <mnoir> BenFP: the gimp is the app of choice but it does not have some of the plugins that PS has
[08:29] <BenFP> i know how photoshop works though... i guess i'll have to learn how gimp works... :(
[08:29] <mnk0> gdm yeah both on same network, with secure link
[08:29] <pollywog> yes 'ssh-agent add'
[08:29] <OiPenguinn> roryy: I was hoping someone had compiled Ubuntu 6.10 with a later kernel and made it publicly available. Is that unlikely?
[08:29] <BenFP> oh yeah i'll try the gimpshop then :)
[08:29] <roryy> OiPenguinn: I think that using FC6 will be a lot easier than compiling and installing a kernel, unless you have some software development background
[08:29] <tom47> benfp gimp is excellent however if you absolutely must continue with photosop and many do have to, then you can use WINE/Crossover Linux quite happily
[08:29] <gma> mnk0: it's gma not gdm; I'm having trouble seeing your replies
[08:29] <yanger> is there a way to blank a dvd+rw media? when I throw a dvd+rw media into my drive (which has data on it) and k3b tries to burn it, it just stalls and stalls...
[08:29] <mnk0> gma: omg, sorry man.. heh
[08:29] <pollywog> you might have to do 'ssh agent bash' first
[08:30] <stefg> ja: his means you can't run ssh-keygen -t rsa and copy the pubkey over to the other achine?
[08:30] <gma> mnk0: there are two options; the preferred one uses ssh. do you have ssh setup already?
[08:30] <mnk0> gma it was the first that came up
[08:30] <roryy> OiPenguinn: yeah, it is unlikely. You could try the pre-release for the next ubuntu, but I really wouldn't recommend that for a novice
[08:30] <gma> mnk0: np
[08:30] <mnk0> gma yes ssh setup
[08:30] <hotti> how can i export mails from evolution?
[08:30] <killown> how I do to switch boot splash ubuntu?
[08:30] <Polygon89> BenFP,  there are tons of tutorials for gimp as well to help you learn, becasue its not just for linux, its like the standard free image program on windows and mac too
[08:30] <anirudha> I have installed HP 656C printer using cups, but it doesn't print webpages.
[08:30] <gma> mnk0: cool. on your client machine type something like this...
[08:30] <pollywog> to copy a key to another machine 'ssh-copy-id -i <key.pub>
[08:30] <roryy> OiPenguinn: http://lwn.net/Articles/217350/  (fedora live cd)
[08:30] <yanger> anirudha, firefox?
[08:31] <gma> mnk0: export CVSROOT=:ext:$USER@server:/path/to/repo
[08:31] <anirudha> yes firefox
[08:31] <tom47> sheriff sorry lets be clear .... you plug it in, copy the files or do whatever, then b4 you unplug it or turn off the computer right click on that icon and eject it ... you can then unplug it as the buffers will have been flushed ... sometimes the file is not actually written to the flash drive immediately
[08:31] <ja> stefg: no, I cannot do it, really. I don't get a shell there, the connection just needs to be established for *a_thing* to work :)
[08:31] <anirudha> it only prints out blank pages
[08:31] <Vigo> Kubuntu has a version of the latest release..I think,,let me look again
[08:31] <gma> mnk0: I'm assuming you have an account on both computers, and that the account names are the same
[08:31] <mnk0> gma yes,
[08:31] <gma> mnk0: substitute hostname or IP address for 'server'
[08:31] <killown> how I do to switch boot splash ubuntu?
[08:31] <yanger> anirudha, there's a setting that needs to be set for printing from firefox, i never figured it out either - all i do right now is print to file, convert to pdf, and print the pdf :|
[08:31] <stefg> ja : k... never used ssh inthis manner... sorry no idea
[08:31] <Polygon89> killown,  what do you mean switch boot splash ubuntu
[08:31] <gma> mnk0: let me know when you've typed it
[08:31] <pollywog> ja is this for doing backups or something like that?
[08:31] <ja> stefg: nop, thx anyway
[08:31] <mnk0> gma ok
[08:31] <OiPenguinn> roryy: Yeah, I'll check out Fedora Live CD, while eagerly awaiting Ubuntu 7.04. Thanks for your advice!
[08:32] <roryy> OiPenguinn: np. good luck.
[08:32] <yanger> anirudha, just a workaround :|
[08:32] <killown> Polygon89 boot imagem
[08:32] <ja> pollywog: nope, actually for authenticating myself against my ISP
[08:32] <pollywog> oic
[08:32] <killown> image during boot
[08:32] <anirudha> yanger, that's a good idea, I'll try that : )
[08:32] <ja> pollywog: and really dont ask what ISP it is ;)
[08:32] <Vigo> OilPenguin: Yes, the latest Kubuntu is 7.04,,
[08:32] <Polygon89> killown,  do you mean like its showing kubuntu but you want it to show ubuntu? or are you wanting a custom splash image
[08:32] <pollywog> ja: I won't
[08:32] <yanger> anirudha, tried mozilla?
[08:32] <killown> Polygon89 yes customize
[08:32] <jussi01> Hei all, Ive installed compiz, everythings good except after a few mins I seem to loose my borders - anyone know how to fix this?
[08:32] <mnk0> gma i typed it
[08:32] <yanger> i haven't tried mozilla printing either
[08:32] <yanger> prolly the same issue
[08:32] <anirudha> yanger, no I have not
[08:32] <pollywog> maybe ISPfromhell.com

[08:33] <gma> mnk0: right, you should now be all set. choose the name of one of your CVS modules (i.e. a top level directory inside your repository) and try this: 'cvs co name-of-module'
[08:33] <killown> pollywog, how I do to custom ubuntu splash?
[08:33] <baxter_kylie> !madwifi
[08:33] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:33] <sheriff> tom47: i did and it worked thanks but if i do it when there are files in the disk, will they be deleted?
[08:33] <baxter_kylie> !wifi
[08:33] <ja> pollywog: you can give me a hint, though ;)
[08:33] <gma> mnk0: co is short for checkout (which you could type instead if you prefer)
[08:33] <mnk0> gma what is co
[08:33] <mnk0> gma ohh k
[08:33] <pollywog> killown: I do not know I am new to Ubuntu though not to Linux
[08:33] <stefg> baxter_kylie: wifi and madwifi are aliased
[08:34] <baxter_kylie> stefg: What are they aliased as?
[08:34] <gma> mnk0: ah, I forgot to tell you something
[08:34] <mnk0> gma ok so that checks it to the "cvsroot/project"
[08:34] <BenFP> i have to purchase cedega?
[08:34] <stefg> baxter_kylie: the bot spits out the same factoid for both keywords
[08:34] <tom47> sheriff if you simply eject the flsh drive before you remove everything is fine
[08:34] <gma> mnk0: er, not really.  'checks it' doesn't really mean anything; you could check in, or you could check out, but you can't just check
[08:34] <gma> mnk0: slow down a bit though, I forgot something
[08:34] <gma> mnk0: type this too; export CVS_RSH=ssh
[08:35] <riotkittie> BenFP: yes.
[08:35] <mnk0> gma ohh yeah, i already typed that tho
[08:35] <gma> mnk0: really? you need to CVS_RSH and CVSROOT seperately.
[08:35] <Kervan> hi. I hav lost my php mysql support while installing GD library how can i get it back?
[08:35] <mnk0> gma like ive been able to checkout from client machine to repositiory,a nd a new version history shows up
[08:35] <Polygon89> killown, here is a page that i found that should help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[08:36] <killown> Polygon89, thanks
[08:36] <gma> mnk0: you can't check out from client to repository, only from repo to client
[08:36] <gma> mnk0: that's how you make your working directory
[08:36] <OiPenguinn> vigo: The latest Kubuntu is alpha, right? I won't risk using that as I have to make a dual boot with XP.
[08:36] <gma> mnk0: I'm guessing about how far you've got which is silly. how far have you got?
[08:36] <mnk0> gma but on the repo, is the working dir
[08:36] <gma> mnk0: no, the working dir is on the client
[08:37] <gma> mnk0: the cvs co command makes the working dir
[08:37] <mnk0> gma oh k yeah ,
[08:37] <yanger> what does the STAT D<L+ mean?
[08:37] <jussi01> so no one knows how to fix border loss in compiz?
[08:37] <mnk0> gma but the production directory is on the repo
[08:37] <mnk0> gma like where the code is deployed
[08:37] <Asc> how do I install java ? I've downloaded the file on my desktop
[08:37] <gma> mnk0: no
[08:37] <stefg> jussi01: wrong channel. /j #ubuntu-xgl
[08:37] <gma> mnk0: the repo just stores the history, you can't do anything else with it
[08:37] <mnk0> gma OHH,
[08:37] <gma> mnk0: to deploy it you can grab a clean copy from the repo and put it somewhere
[08:37] <mnk0> gma so to get the latest code from the
[08:38] <jussi01> thanks stefg -will go there
[08:38] <mnk0> GMA yes ok, i understand, it now,.. heh
[08:38] <gma> mnk0: cool
[08:38] <Paulus> Hello everyone! Is there a way to change "gmplayer" to "mplayer" in my gnome settings?
[08:38] <mnk0> gma thanks
[08:38] <gma> mnk0: do you know about the 'cvs export' command?
[08:38] <mnk0> gma i just have to grab the latest copy from the repo, for the production release
[08:38] <gma> mnk0: it's handy for making a new clean copy that you want to use for production
[08:38] <mnk0> gma: im using the cvs export function in eclipse for my code
[08:39] <gma> mnk0: sounds like you want export then (it's like co or checkout, but doesn't include all the CVS/ directories in your project)
[08:39] <pollywog> ja Linux Journal has some articles on SSH and I think one that might be of help to you.  You can use the search engine on their site and it is one of the first articles when you search for openssh
[08:39] <Asc> how di I install Java into Firefox with ubuntu ?
[08:39] <mnk0> gma but for the actual deployment i'll need the 'cvs commands'
[08:39] <gma> mnk0: cvs export -r HEAD module
[08:39] <mnk0> gma ahh k
[08:39] <Polygon89> Asc, one sec let me get the page
[08:39] <stefg> !java | Asc
[08:39] <ubotu> Asc: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[08:39] <JosefK> Asc: if you're using Sun Java from the repositories, installing the sun-java5-plugin package and restarting firefox is enough
[08:39] <gma> mnk0: by default the files get put in a local dir called 'name-of-module'. you can change that, like this:
[08:39] <pollywog> ja: just don't go getting into trouble with the info contained therein
[08:39] <whileimhere> I want to have a task list that is associated with the time/date on the panel. Is there one that is not built into the Evolution program?
[08:39] <gma> mnk0: cvs export -r HEAD -d /path/to/deployed/version module-name
[08:40] <ja> pollywog: don't worry about it. thanks :)
[08:40] <mnk0> gma; what is the cvs export for, grabbing the latest copy from repo ?
[08:40] <Asc> JosefK: ok, yes i've downloaded the file to my desktop, but how di I install it ?
[08:40] <gma> mnk0: export gets a copy from the repo, only it doesn't include all CVS's cruft in the results (as you have in your working copy)
[08:40] <gma> mnk0: so it's designed for deployment, basically
[08:40] <fouadbajwa> hi, needed some information on disk partitioning, what is the minimum and maximum sizes for the following:
[08:40] <fouadbajwa> swap
[08:40] <fouadbajwa> /
[08:40] <fouadbajwa> /boot
[08:40] <fouadbajwa> /home
[08:40] <fouadbajwa> /usr
[08:41] <fouadbajwa> /var
[08:41] <stefg> whileimhere: the gnome clock panel applet has a rudimentary function for that itself
[08:41] <mnk0> gma ahhh ok
[08:41] <gma> mnk0: if you want to get a copy to work on, use co instead of export
[08:41] <Polygon89> Asc, follow the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-f4267cc37a197ccf46397cc58ff0944838741956
[08:41] <Polygon89> easier =P
[08:41] <stefg> !paste | fouadbajwa
[08:41] <gma> mnk0: similar, but not the same
[08:41] <ubotu> fouadbajwa: paste 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)
[08:41] <JosefK> Asc: no, no need to download.  'sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin'
[08:41] <mnk0> gma ohhk, thankx for the advice, that makes so much sense now
[08:41] <needinfo> Have Xubuntu. I can ping the router, myself, and the second computer on the router, but not anything on the net. The resolv.conf has both DNS numbers correct. This system was working before. I am not sure what I did to kill it. What do I check next?
[08:41] <Shaba1> Hey any of you ever use partition logc
[08:41] <d03boy> anyone know how to tell if my wireless hardware is turned on in my laptop? ndiswrapper is running fine. it detects hardware, but it cant pick up any networks
[08:41] <Paulus> fouadbajwa: swap: 2x your RAM; I wouldn't split /, if you dont have a specific reason; then 10 for all is sensible
[08:41] <gnubolivar> hello
[08:41] <JosefK> !synaptic | Asc
[08:41] <ubotu> Asc: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[08:42] <fouadbajwa> you mean 10 GB for all?
[08:42] <d03boy> you have 5gb of ram?
[08:42] <gma> mnk0: no probs, cheers
[08:42] <kuma> Hi, i'm looking for some assistance on installing applications not listed in the add/remove applications list, can someone help me?
[08:42] <Odysseu1> Hi, does anyone know how I can auto "startx", like in the default Ubuntu installation? I messed some stuff up and it gives me a GDM: X server error, which - I can get pass by simply logging in to tty1, and using the familiar "startx" command. [Sorry for my inability to make this a bit clearer] 
[08:43] <stefg> Paulus, fouadbajwa teh 2x RAM rule of thumb is obsolete. 512 MB is the maximum you'll ever need, when not using tmpfs and special things
[08:43] <Polygon89> kuma, try clicking "advanced" in the add/remove window, and then searching for the package you want
[08:43] <tom47> kuma try using synaptic
[08:43] <Lynoure> fouadbajwa: I do not think there is maximum sizes for anything, really. Swap usually about 2xRAM, /home, /usr and /var can be as large as you can afford, /boot can be usually tiny
[08:43] <Odysseu1> @ kuma do you mean form source or by using Synaptic?
[08:43] <n2diy> kuma: check out synaptic
[08:43] <kuma> errr... i'm using Kubuntu
[08:43] <d03boy> Odysseu1, get rid of GDM?
[08:43] <Paulus> stefg, is that true? even if I have 1G?
[08:43] <Asc> JosefK: thanx
[08:43] <Paulus> stefg, on a desktop system, that is
[08:43] <Odysseu1> do3boy, How? Isn't that a bit needed?
[08:43] <kuma> and i want to install rainlendar
[08:43] <stefg> Paulus: check your free -m
[08:43] <JosefK> Asc: np's
[08:43] <mnk0> gma cheers
[08:44] <n2diy> kubuntu doesn't come with synaptic installed?
[08:44] <fouadbajwa> how about suggesting a recommended/defacto size for all of them
[08:44] <fouadbajwa> say
[08:44] <tom47> kuma follow the menu System>Administration>Synaptic >Package Manager
[08:44] <Bagoor> I can use SNMP in my server for IP 127.0.0.1 but not from my computer. I use this command : snmpwalk -c public -v 1 x.x.x.x system --- should I add anything to be able use from my computer ?
[08:44] <tom47> kuma ! synaptic
[08:44] <Lynoure> fouadbajwa: For what kind of machine? What kind of use?
[08:44] <tom47> kuma !synaptic
[08:44] <Odysseu1> Or you can open up Konsole and type "apt-get".
[08:44] <fouadbajwa> i do 512MB-SWAP, 10GB-/home, 102MB-/boot
[08:45] <tom47> !synaptic > kuma
[08:45] <thisheregiraffe> !synaptic | kuma
[08:45] <ubotu> kuma: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[08:45] <fouadbajwa> this is a laptop with only 30 GB disk space
[08:45] <stefg> fouadbajwa: looks sensible
[08:45] <adaptr> Bagoor: you need to allow remote connections to snmp
[08:45] <thisheregiraffe> 8D
[08:45] <Paulus> stefg, you'll need at least the RAM size to suspend, though
[08:45] <tom47> thisheregiraffe ty
[08:45] <fouadbajwa> but i need to install both Ubuntu and RHLE ES and share the user files
[08:45] <kuma> The thing is that i came here earlier and a user named Ber helped me installing rainlendar, a calendar application, but he told me to just uncompress it in my /home/usr/ folder, now, the application is runnign, but i don't think that's the right way to install something in the OS
[08:45] <stefg> Paulus: ok, this is one of the 'special cases'
[08:45] <Paulus> fouadbajwa: for the system, 10G is fine really, maybe 8G
[08:45] <Lynoure> fouadbajwa: That's very little swap unless you hawe just 256MB of RAM, if it is a laptop, it could keep you from hibernating.
[08:45] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: so, you have only one /home
[08:46] <Polygon89> kuma, you are correct
[08:46] <Polygon89> kuma,  synaptic is much eaiser
[08:46] <pollywog> ja: the article I was thinking of is this one http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8600
[08:46] <gRaCiOsO> Im trying to make detected my motorola v3 in edgy by usb i followed a web steps to do it but when i do sudo make in the packet that i wanna install it says this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1593/ someone could help me with that?
[08:46] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: say you set aside 5~8GB for each of the OSes, that leaves at least 15GB for home
[08:46] <Polygon89> kuma, because it automatically upgrades when there are upgrades, and if you want to remove it, you simply just search for it, right click and remove
[08:46] <riotkittie> only 30gb. pffft :P
[08:46] <fouadbajwa> 15GB is a good idea for /home so that can be used by all users from both systems
[08:46] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: it won't get any better with such a small HD - tough luck
[08:46] <Ber> Polygon89: I allready told him, but I'm not shure if reainlendar is available
[08:46] <n2diy> kuma: in linux there is more than one way to do anything, if the app is running, don't worry about it.
[08:46] <kuma> Polygon89: I didn't find the application in the Kpackage
[08:47] <gendor> I have a problem with folder sharing.  When I right click and change sharing status of a folder the changes do not stick.
[08:47] <fouadbajwa> actually its not small
[08:47] <stefg> riotkittie: you're invited to danat a bigger drive to him :-)
[08:47] <stefg> *donate
[08:47] <fouadbajwa> its a got 8gb consumed by embedded windows and have a 36GB part with windows on it that i am not allowed to remove due to some company licensing issue
[08:47] <kuma> n2diy: Hmmm, but, for example, is not listed in the Kmenu list of applications.
[08:47] <tom47> is there a quick way to type in someones nick?
[08:47] <toty> when my mouse cursor changes to the busy state it disappears, anyone got any ideas how to fix it, i've tried selecting another cursor set from mouse in pref, but it didn't work
[08:47] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: it is quite small by todays standards, more so if you want to multi-boot with another OS
[08:47] <riotkittie> stefg: nah. if i donate an bigger drive to anyone, it's going to be meee.  i've got a 11.2gb in my laptop
[08:47] <Polygon89> kuma, lets see if i can find a .deb for you to use
[08:48] <Lynoure> fouadbajwa: How much RAM you have?
[08:48] <fouadbajwa> i just had both ubuntu and Suse 10.2 SLES
[08:48] <thisheregiraffe> tom47: start typing the nick, and hit tab for it to auto-complete
[08:48] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: so it is not 30GB, it is at least 44 ?
[08:48] <fouadbajwa> on this machine
[08:48] <tom47> ty
[08:48] <fouadbajwa> but i screwed up testing
[08:48] <yurimxpxman> hey, I'm trying to use cdemu to mount a CUE/BIN image, but I don't know where it's mounting it to when I do it. It doesn't output any errors, so it must have worked, but it's not showing up in my mount directories.
[08:48] <angstmachine> heya all!
[08:48] <kuma> Polygon89: .deb? is tat like a RPM? (sorry, ui'm new at linux)
[08:48] <fouadbajwa> its 80GB,
[08:48] <connect1> can someone please advise me on the pro's con's of debian / ubuntu?
[08:48] <n2diy> kuma: some won't, but you maybe able to edit the menu to add it. I'm running Ubuntu, so I don't know how you would do it in kde?
[08:49] <gendor> I have a problem with folder sharing.  When I change sharing options of a folder the changes do not stick.
[08:49] <fouadbajwa> now my head is spinning in between RHLE, SUSE, and Ubuntu partitioning
[08:49] <Polygon89> kuma, ya, a deb is like a rpm, basically its like a installation file in windows (those .exe things) , you double click it and it installs it and adds it to synaptic and everyting
[08:49] <Lynoure> Either fouadbajwa ignores me or just does not want an opinion on the swap size :)
[08:49] <OrangeOrange> how can i dl i915resolution from uinversal
[08:49] <yurimxpxman> hey, I'm trying to use cdemu to mount a CUE/BIN image, but I don't know where it's mounting it to when I do it. It doesn't output any errors, so it must have worked, but it's not showing up in my mount directories.
[08:49] <kuma> Polygon89: I see, that would be great :)
[08:49] <tom47> thisheregiraffe: ty
[08:49] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: by adding the repo then using synaptic
[08:49] <angstmachine> so i changed my resolution in my xorg.conf, but it doesn't show up in sys-pref-resolution, nor can i change to it by using xrandr... any suggestions?
[08:49] <kimmern> Hey! My machine has two partitions..i've installed kubuntu on one of them, but how do i get to see the content on the other one?
[08:50] <tom47> thisheregiraffe: great!!!
[08:50] <Anders> Hello!
[08:50] <connect1> has anyone here put asterisk on ubuntu?
[08:50] <yurimxpxman> kimmern: go to /media/ and you'll see all of your partitions
[08:50] <adaptr> angstmachine: how do you know you have added them, then ?
[08:50] <Anders> remember me? ^_^
[08:50] <fouadbajwa> btw, what is the most common partition used by all there Redhat, Suse and Ubuntu
[08:50] <fouadbajwa> apart from home
[08:50] <Anders> the guy that had trouble with install from desktop cd a fe whours ago? lol
[08:50] <Anders> Ok
[08:50] <toty> any ideas? where is the settings file that sets what icons are set for different states, default, busy, resize, move etc?
[08:50] <Anders> Now I'm having trouble
[08:50] <gRaCiOsO> Im trying to make detected my motorola v3 in edgy by usb i followed a web steps to do it but when i do sudo make in the packet that i wanna install it says this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1593/ someone could help me with that?
[08:50] <Anders> installing a .sh file
[08:50] <kimmern> yurimxpxman: its not there
[08:50] <kuma> n2diy: But isn't that like... messy xD, i remember when i first installed a Linux distro (The one with the lizard) and i tried to install the most recent firefox
[08:51] <adaptr> fouadbajwa: you should share /home and swap, possibly /tmp, but that takes some skill to set up
[08:51] <zYe> i am having trouble running the program "tilda" anyone have any ideas?
[08:51] <Anders> Anyone: How do I 'install' a .sh file ?
[08:51] <adaptr> kuma: huh ? Edgy has FF2 by default, working more than fine
[08:51] <adaptr> Anders: run it
[08:51] <Anders> I did
[08:51] <TruthElixirX> After I install ubuntu and restart, as it is shutting down it says this "mount: function not implemented". Then when I turn it back on, its as if nothing installed. It says "lease insert boot media and hit enter or restart." And nothing happens. Any help?
[08:51] <angstmachine> adaptr: i put the new resolutions in the conf file for each color depth, i mean i don't think i forgot anything.
[08:51] <riotkittie> ./whatever.sh
[08:51] <zYe> anyone where running TILDA?
[08:51] <riotkittie> sh whatever.sh
[08:51] <adaptr> Anders: I guess not, or else what is your question ?
[08:51] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: do i have to restart before using synaptic.. cuz i cant find 915resolution in synaptic
[08:51] <Anders> Adapter: It tries to edit it with smoe word editting program
[08:51] <Polygon89> kuma, i cant seem to find a deb for it....
[08:51] <kuma> n2diy: I just uncompressed and there it was running, but the OS kept popping me the old version of the FF
[08:51] <n2diy> kuma: I suppose, but that is the way it is.
[08:51] <riotkittie> err no
[08:51] <fouadbajwa> what should be the minimum size of /root and max?
[08:51] <tom47> Anders: ou have to make it executable for it to work
[08:51] <Anders> some*
[08:51] <kimmern> anyone? how can i found my other partition? what do i mount?
[08:51] <__james> how can i install driver on my ubuntu? i have nvidia card
[08:52] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: you have ot add the universe/multiverse repositories to your sources, then reload synaptic
[08:52] <riotkittie> !nvidia
[08:52] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:52] <Anders> Tom47: how do I do that ? I downloaded it off introversions site: http://www.darwinia.co.uk/support/linux.html
[08:52] <Anders> I'm trying to get Darwinia running.. :P
[08:52] <adaptr> angstmachine: read you xorg log to see if Xorg picked them up
[08:52] <__james> ok thnx
[08:52] <adub> how do i get rid of console beep its aggravating
[08:52] <adaptr> +r
[08:52] <Polygon89> kuma, which is most likely why that guy told you to install it the way he did, cause there is no .dev and its not in the repos...
[08:52] <SzArAk> where can i find differences between ubuntu and vanilla kernel?
[08:52] <n2diy> kuma: I'm not familiar with rainlendar, so I don't know how it plays with FF?
[08:52] <kuma> ok, so is there at least any directory i can add the uncompressed directory w/o a conflict? it bothers me having a application in my /home/ folder
[08:52] <riotkittie> chmod +x somefile.sh
[08:52] <angstmachine> adaptr: lemmee check
[08:52] <gRaCiOsO> Im trying to make detected my motorola v3 in edgy by usb i followed a web steps to do it but when i do sudo make in the packet that i wanna install it says this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1593/ someone could help me with that?
[08:53] <yurimxpxman> kimmern: browse to your /device/disk folder and find the partition in there. You'll need to mount that.
[08:53] <tom47> anders ..... dont know the site but i would be very careful about downoading and executing script files off the net
[08:53] <zYe> anyone here running ubuntu?
[08:53] <Anders> It's a linux patch
[08:53] <tom47> anders ... anyway .....
[08:53] <zYe> hahaha
[08:53] <Anders> for a game
[08:53] <kuma> Polygon89: I see..
[08:53] <adaptr> zYe: no, nobody
[08:53] <adub> how can i get rid of console beep ???
[08:53] <zYe> haha :)
[08:53] <Pelo> !vmware >me
[08:53] <Anders> wich uses the windows CD to install it
[08:53] <tom47> anders you have to set the permissions on the file
[08:53] <zYe> at least i got a answer
[08:53] <riotkittie> zYe: people in here running ubuntu? doubtful, where do you think you are?

[08:53] <n2diy> kuma, remove your current installation, and let synaptic install the new one.
[08:53] <TruthElixirX> ugh, sorry, did anyone address me/my problem whilst I was kicked?
[08:53] <adaptr> zYe: nor are you - you don't have the brain required
[08:53] <Anders> faster than me :P

[08:53] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: i think i did .. i edit xorg.conf and uncomment the two lines for universal
[08:54] <zYe> thx
[08:54] <Geto> where can I download w32 codec for xine
[08:54] <kuma> n2diy: I think rainlendar is not listed in synaptic
[08:54] <yurimxpxman> kimmern: go to /dev/disk/by-label in your file browser and see the one you're looking for. Right-click it and choose Properties. Take a look at where that partition is, such as /dev/sda1. Then open terminal and type "mount sda1"
[08:54] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: i mean
[08:54] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: you edited xorg.conf ? that's ...erm wrong
[08:54] <Anders> Tom47:  BIG THANKS TO YOU!
[08:54] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: source list
[08:54] <zYe> what a douche
[08:54] <n2diy> kuma, did you enable all the repos in synaptic?
[08:54] <riotkittie> theres  a lin version of rainlender? sweeeet
[08:54] <kuma> n2diy: Besides, i don't have synaptic, since i'm running Kubuntu.
[08:54] <coir> I type - 'gksudo "update-manager -c -d"', and I get to where I can hit 'upgrade,' but afterwards I get a message saying 'Authentication failed.' Is this something I can work around somehow, or is it on server-end?
[08:54] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: just use the GUI tool please, it is less error-prone
[08:54] <KristianDK> Whats a logical hostname, and what would mine be ? :S
[08:54] <gendor> can anyone help?
[08:54] <SzArAk> where can i find differences between ubuntu kernel and vanilla kernel?
[08:54] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: where that?
[08:54] <yurimxpxman> gendor: what's your problem?
[08:54] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: sry me noob
[08:54] <kuma> n2diy: I searched in Kpackage w/o matches
[08:54] <adaptr> coir: that means you have repos that are not properly authenticated with public keys
[08:55] <gendor> whenever I change folder sharing of a folder the changes do not stick.
[08:55] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: go to system -> admin -> software sources
[08:55] <adub> how do i get rid of console beeping ??
[08:55] <n2diy> kuma, do you have aptitude?
[08:55] <Polygon89> kuma, you have multiverse and universe repos enabled (its in prefs somewhere)
[08:55] <kuma> adub i'lll help you with that
[08:55] <adaptr> coir: it's no big deal if you added repos yourself, say for beryl or something
[08:55] <yurimxpxman> gendor; are you typing the chmod command in terminal or using your file browser?
[08:55] <angstmachine> adaptr: yeah it's not in the log, it only loaded the one res. it's in the conf file, though, why wouldn't it load?
[08:55] <gendor> file browser
[08:55] <yurimxpxman> gendor: also, are you running as root?
[08:55] <kuma> adub: oh, console, nvm, i know how to get rid of the CPU beep, sorry
[08:55] <coir> adaptr: How can I fix that? I haven't added any besides multiverse an such.
[08:55] <adaptr> angstmachine: no idea what you mean
[08:56] <gendor> can I run the file browser as root?
[08:56] <yurimxpxman> gendor: yes. Are you using Gnome?
[08:56] <kuma> Polygon89 & n2diy: huh?
[08:56] <gendor> yes
[08:56] <adaptr> coir: then look closely at the output of "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"; this will do the same, but in console
[08:56] <zoidberg> hey guys
[08:56] <n2diy> kuma, do you have aptitude?
[08:56] <yurimxpxman> gendor: open Terminal and type "sudo nautilus /mydirectory" (no quotes and replace the dir with yours)
[08:56] <zoidberg> if i'm in the terminal and i want to print the terminal screen to a printer...what do i type?
[08:56] <adaptr> n2diy: dude, I have tons of 'tude :)
[08:56] <Polygon89> n2diy, im pretty sure he does as he is running kubuntu
[08:57] <unclemike> ? in ubuntu 6.10.. /dev/hda5 is supose to b ext3 /...hda7 is supose to be ext3 /home...but there listed as /dev/hda5 ? / /dev/hda7 ? /home...UUID=adc ext3 /...UUID=89 ext3 /home
[08:57] <kuma> n2diy: yes i do :)
[08:57] <coir> adaptr: No errors, but 0 upgraded, newly installed, removed, etc.
[08:57] <adub> kuma like when im inside of my prompt to type commands it will beep when i scroll at the end of the command line
[08:57] <n2diy> Polygon89: roger that.
[08:57] <angstmachine> adaptr: i added a new resolution to each color depth in the xorg.conf file, but, like we just established x didn't load the new resolutions.
[08:57] <zoidberg> guys can anyone help me please
[08:57] <zoidberg> ?
[08:57] <adaptr> coir: so it doesn't want to upgrade ? from what to what are you trying to upgrade ?
[08:57] <yurimxpxman> zoidberg: what's your problem?
[08:57] <gendor> yurimxpxman, which directory, the one I want to change?
[08:57] <yurimxpxman> gendor: yes
[08:57] <coir> From Edgy to Feisty.
[08:57] <yurimxpxman> gendor: or you could browse to it if you just type "sudo nautilus"
[08:57] <kuma> shoould i run aprirude?
[08:58] <kuma> *should
[08:58] <bjames> hi all, does anyone here know if a Sempron 2800+ would be adequate for a media box - running VLC decoding things like avi Xvid, mp3, wma, etc?
[08:58] <kuma> *aptitude (i'm a lousy writer)
[08:58] <adaptr> angstmachine: *we* did not establish anything.. you wrote some partial sentences I could not parse... and just use the one bit depth you use (that would be 24) because the rest is useless for a decent desktop
[08:58] <yurimxpxman> bjames: yes, that should run just fine
[08:58] <riotkittie> bjames: yea, it would be ok
[08:58] <adaptr> angstmachine: and you did restart X I hope
[08:58] <Shaba1> I am trying to figure out some way of testing out ubuntu on my HD but then be able to recover the disk space for windows if I start running short
[08:58] <OrangeOrange> adaptr: do i check all the universe part?
[08:58] <Shaba1> any ideas
[08:58] <zoidberg> yurimxpxman: if i'm in the terminal and i want to print the terminal screen to a printer...what do i type?
[08:58] <Polygon89> kuma, what package manager does kubuntu have?
[08:58] <bjames> yurimxpxman: cheers
[08:58] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: read the options carefully - they all mean something *different*
[08:59] <yurimxpxman> Shaba1: use Gparted to resize your partitions
[08:59] <adub> can someone please help me out a bid on this i need to stop console beeps
[08:59] <kuma> Polygon89 I think Kpackage, but i already searched there
[08:59] <adaptr> OrangeOrange: you want universe and multiverse for at least binary, updates, and security
[08:59] <bjames> will it also be "fairly" future-proof, i.e. when more intensive video codecs come out it will have at least a fighting chance
[08:59] <Polygon89> kuma, i just need you to enable universe and multiverse, cause that might be the reason its not showing up
[08:59] <otacon22__> something on linux to convert from avi to 3gp?
[08:59] <yurimxpxman> zoidberg: you can print terminal's text by copying and pasting it into a text editor and printing it from there.
[08:59] <kuma> Polygon89: ok, i'm running it now
[09:00] <adaptr> bjames: what do you mean, "more intensive" ? MPEG4 was discussed in 1999, and MPEG20 is already a standard, and nobody's even using that yet
[09:00] <yurimxpxman> zoidberg: CTRL+C doesn't work in most terminal apps, but you can usually right-click the text to copy it
[09:00] <zoidberg> yurimxpxman: i know that but is there a more direct way of doing it without opening a nother applicatino and pasting the text there?
[09:00] <gendor> yuri, ok if I type that then I get Nautilus in that folder, what then?
[09:00] <moocowmoocowmoo> hello, i'm trying to make a shell script to do automated backups of a windows file share, i used the smbmount command in the terminal and it worked, but is there a way to bypass entering a password so the script can run by itself?
[09:00] <kuma> Polygon89: whats atitude anyway?
[09:00] <yurimxpxman> gendor: then just set the permissions like you normally would. If you typed sudo, you're running as root.
[09:00] <adaptr> mooooo
[09:00] <Polygon89> kuma, somewhere in there is an option to edit the repos and enable multiverse and universe
[09:00] <moocowmoocowmoo> moo
[09:01] <stefg> !samba moocowmoocowmoo
[09:01] <Geto> i need help
[09:01] <bjames> adaptr: hi again, I mean would it struggle with todays video codecs and therefore probably not have a chance with more resource intesive ones later
[09:01] <ubotu> samba: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 2836 kB, installed size 7200 kB
[09:01] <adaptr> moocowmoocowmoo: does the share need to be mounted 24/7 ?
[09:01] <Polygon89> kuma, aptitude is just a program that keeps track of everything installed on your computer, and it checks daily for updates, downloads them, installs the updates and stuff
[09:01] <stefg> !samba | moocowmoocowmoo
[09:01] <ubotu> moocowmoocowmoo: 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
[09:01] <yurimxpxman> Geto: what's your problem?
[09:01] <angstmachine> adaptr: i have restarted x quite a few times as i have tweaked and re-tweaked this issue. and i do realize that i don't need to change the resolution for the other depths, i was simply following the instructions in the documentations i have been following.
[09:01] <adaptr> bjames: and by "it" you mean... ?
[09:01] <moocowmoocowmoo> no i'd rather its just mounted when the backup runs
[09:01] <Geto> where can i download w32 codec for xine
[09:01] <zoidberg> !samba

[09:01] <adaptr> angstmachine: can you paste the output of your xorg log?
[09:01] <gendor> yuri, what do I set my permissions to if I want this to be visible on a networked Mac?
[09:01] <yurimxpxman> Geto: I *think* it's available from the Ubuntu package manager.. just go to Add/Remove
[09:01] <TruthElixirX> Linux keeps failing to mount properly or something. Whenever I restart after installing, it never works. Tried like 10+ times. No idea whats wrong.
[09:02] <adaptr> moocowmoocowmoo: please address people in a busy channel such as this one :)
[09:02] <stefg> moocowmoocowmoo: read about credential-files in samba and the mount syntax for smb-shares
[09:02] <jrib> Geto: you may also want libxine-extracodecs from multiverse
[09:02] <Polygon89> kuma, sadly i have to go now, but look around for the option to edit the repos, and enable multiverse and universe, im not running kubuntu so i dunno where it is, and i have to go now
[09:02] <Polygon89> kuma, after you enable them try searching for it again, "hopefully" it will show up
[09:02] <yurimxpxman> Geto: set the owner to the username of your samba installation and set its permissions for samba to read and write
[09:02] <Pyromaniac_> does anyone have a fix for the Wine MFC libary problem?
[09:02] <bjames> adaptr: "it" being the 2800+ based system I mentioned previously
[09:02] <Taime1> no matter what i do, i cant get frostwire to start... can someone help me with this? ( i have the newest java)
[09:03] <kuma> Polygon89: ok, thanks :)
[09:03] <moocowmoocowmoo> ok adaptr, no i just want it mounted when its backing up
[09:03] <adaptr> bjames: I did not see that, my screen is not 463 lines high....
[09:03] <stefg> yurimxpxman: that's not good practice
[09:03] <Polygon89> kuma, , your welcome =P
[09:03] <yurimxpxman> woops.. my bad, I meant gendor
[09:03] <Geto> where can i do that
[09:03] <jrib> Geto: do what?
[09:03] <yurimxpxman> stefg: how so?
[09:03] <bjames> adaptr: (I'm having the same problem keeping track - lots of chatters today)
[09:03] <adaptr> moocowmoocowmoo: you can script username and password with smbmount, surely ?
[09:03] <errorlevel> I have two questions that are related:  I searched packages.ubuntu.com for what contained the program wlanconfig, but found nothing.  Where should I get it so I can configure my madwifi-ng supported card as an access point?  Failing that, where should I specify parameters to the module ath_pci?
[09:03] <TruthElixirX> I tried fixing GRUB but that didn't appear to work. Same thing happened.I'm at my wits' end. I have no windows to put on this computer and Ubuntu won't work. I need help bad. >.<
[09:03] <Geto>  set the owner to the username of your samba installation and set its permissions for samba to read and write!!this
[09:04] <yurimxpxman> Geto: sorry, I meant to type someone else's name
[09:04] <moocowmoocowmoo> adaptr: i'm pretty clueless about it
[09:04] <Geto> ok
[09:04] <stefg> yurimxpxman: the proper way is to have a credentials file for the samba login, so smbmount can read username and pass from there
[09:04] <adaptr> !madwifi | errorlevel
[09:04] <ubotu> errorlevel: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:04] <gendor> yuri, when I run nautilus as sudo the permission changes still won't stick
[09:04] <adaptr> moocowmoocowmoo: man smbmount; if user and pass are parameters then you can also put that in a script :)
[09:04] <yurimxpxman> gendor: what partition is it? Could you be trying to edit the permissions of a read-only one, like your NTFS partition?
[09:04] <Taime1> why wont frostwire start up on my computer?

[09:06] <yurimxpxman> have any of you used cdemu? I can't figure out where it mounted my BIN/CUE image.. it's not in the mnt or media directories
[09:06] <adaptr> moocowmoocowmoo: you would have to use a user that has access to the shares, obviously
[09:06] <dm__> jrib thanks
[09:06] <TruthElixirX> D?oes anyone know how to help me with my boot problems
[09:06] <bjames> adaptr: it'll be the onboard VGA (shared memory I think)
[09:07] <bjames> adaptr: shouldn't be a problem though really should it?
[09:07] <tarnold85> for some reason my system defaults to the totem movie player to open .dat files. How can I change this?

[09:07] <dm__> jrib yep thanks
[09:07] <gendor> yuri, darn even when I run gksudo I still can't change permissions from within the file browser
[09:07] <adaptr> bjames: then that is the single determining factor of your video capabilities; right now, they flux between Sucking and Impossible
[09:07] <r_rehashed> but the instructions are kind of confusing
[09:07] <Taime1> jrib, i guess i was mistaken, terminal tells me that i do not have the latest java installed, i will do that from java's site, then return if i still have problems
[09:07] <adaptr> bjames: a decent video card does not mean 3D - it means decent video
[09:08] <r_rehashed> especialy the repositories. do I add them in synaptic
[09:08] <adaptr> bjames: as in: pure video redraw speed, which you certainly need to support HDTV
[09:08] <jrib> Taime1: I'd recommend installing the version in the repositories
[09:08] <yurimxpxman> gendor: sorry then, I'm not sure what your problem is, unless you lost your permissions to your own home directory.
[09:08] <yurimxpxman> have any of you used cdemu?
[09:08] <Taime1> well, thats what i have installed, i use adept
[09:08] <adaptr> bjames: so yes, that is* your biggest problem as of now
[09:08] <r_rehashed> I wasn't able to add them in synaptic
[09:08] <jrib> !multijava | Taime1
[09:08] <ubotu> Taime1: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives
[09:08] <dm__> bjames if you play movies or do graphical work, you need your vid card to work properly, everything looks better ,
[09:08] <bjames> adaptr: well my thoughts were that it shouldn't need to be any good as all the codec work is done by the CPU - all the video card would need to do is spit the frame buffer out to the VGA port
[09:09] <adaptr> bjames: apart from that, it obviously doesn;t matter which OS you use to play HD video - you just need to be able to *play* it properly
[09:09] <vakosel> why cant i find wine in synaptic manager even though i have all repositories checked (main, restrictred, univ. multiv) ?
[09:09] <jrib> vakosel: what architecture are you using?

[09:10] <tiolpxe> hey ive installed ubuntu everything seems fine but how can i tell which if any drivers are incorrect etc like device manager in windows ????
[09:10] <gendor> yurimxpxman, You know I can change permissions on everything except the shared folder.
[09:10] <hotti> how could i minimize programs to upper dock in gnome? (like GAIM is doing)
[09:10] <errorlevel> Since my initial solicitation yielded a useless response:  I have two questions that are related:  I searched packages.ubuntu.com for what contained the program wlanconfig, but found nothing.  Where should I get it so I can configure my madwifi-ng supported card as an access point (not covered under the community docs)?  Failing that, where should I specify parameters to the module ath_pci?
[09:10] <adaptr> tiolpxe: start by forgetting the "like windows" mantra...
[09:10] <JosefK> tiolpxe: if it's working they're probably right, you could "dmesg | less" if you fancy some complex reading though
[09:10] <yurimxpxman> gendor: what happens if you stop sharing it? Can you change it then?
[09:10] <bjames> adaptr: is it the case that when you say "it either sucks or doesn't work" you're referring to the fact the onboard video isn't properly detected/supported by Linux and is therefore a waste of time, or do you mean it's physically uncapable of playing video at any decent frame rate?
[09:10] <gendor> yurimxpxman, I can't stop sharing it.  The change won't stick.
[09:11] <adaptr> errorlevel: already answered - !madwifi
[09:11] <yurimxpxman> gendor: ah, I see.
[09:11] <errorlevel> adaptr: No.  That is not an answer!
[09:11] <yurimxpxman> gendor: you should try the chmod command
[09:11] <kevinl> yuri: the only things in system>admin are 'networking', and 'network tools', neither have anywhere I can put in a WEP key
[09:11] <yurimxpxman> have any of you used cdemu? I've got a questiona bout it
[09:11] <gendor> yurimxpxman, Can I stop sharing through the terminal?
[09:11] <errorlevel> adaptr: Where at on the wifi page does it say anything about where to get wlanconfig?  Where does it say anything about how to specify module parameters?
[09:11] <tiolpxe> JosefK, yeah everything seems fine but im using a laptop so thought there may be a good chance that something may be missing
[09:11] <adaptr> bjames: a combination of both, really... support can be a paion depending heavily on the onboard chip used, and shoddy or cheaper onboard chips also deliver shoddy performance
[09:11] <errorlevel> adaptr: Did you read my question?
[09:11] <JosefK> tiolpxe: dmesg | less :)

[09:12] <yurimxpxman> kevinl: Yes, I meant Networking. What wireless adapter do you have? You may have an unsupported one. If that's the case, you'll need to use NdisWrapper to  use your Windows drivers
[09:12] <adaptr> ah
[09:12] <bjames> adaptr: it's an Asus board (who I've never had problems with before and are arguably the best mobo maker) K8V-VM

[09:14] <jrib> Taime1: is sun-java5-bin installed?
[09:15] <Taime1> yes it is
[09:15] <tom47> linux_user400354: you can use gparted (GNOME Parrition Editor) [under System>Administration] 
[09:15] <errorlevel> jrib: It only has an invocation of the command and talks about compiling the module from source if I need to (which appears to be for older ubuntu versions [I'm running edgy] ).  Must I compile wlanconfig if I want it?
[09:15] <LiquidScythe> Taime1 was that for me?
[09:15] <yurimxpxman> kevinl: I'd check the Ubuntu wiki. I'm trying to find it right now..
[09:15] <Taime1> yes
[09:15] <linux_user400354> LiquidScythe: just updating wont give you 6.10, but there is a way to go from 6.04 to 6.10 without reinstalling
[09:15] <Taime1> sorry

[09:16] <tuxvix> I bought one box especially for ubuntu =)
[09:16] <bjames> adaptr: cheers
[09:16] <LiquidScythe> well what is so differnent between 6.06 and 6.10?
[09:16] <tuxvix> Will this be good box for Ubuntu >>> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320069498022
[09:16] <adaptr> bjames: it's an unsupported VIA piece of c**p
[09:16] <elyon> I also can not get a resolution higher than 1024x768 (even though I edited xorg.conf to include more)
[09:16] <LiquidScythe> do i really need 6.10?
[09:16] <bjames> adaptr: I've googled it as well
[09:16] <yurimxpxman> Shaba1: ./configure readies your source code to be compiled for your system
[09:16] <adaptr> bjames: ..which is more or less what I said
[09:16] <adaptr> bjames: *ANY* $30 PCIe card will do better
[09:16] <tuxvix> of course I will change the hd to bigger one ;-)
[09:16] <Shaba1> so it runs the c compiler and preproccesor on its own?
[09:17] <tom47> linux_user400354: if there are logical partions these show as a sort of subheading
[09:17] <jrib> errorlevel: from the page, "With the new -ng module things work differently. "  So I assume it is implying that the version in ubuntu doesn't have that command

[09:17] <bjames> adaptr: to be honest VGA is just as good
[09:17] <BackPacker> Shaba1: ./configure checks the environment in which the compilation will take place, and it builds a makefile. The command then runs the commands in the makefile
[09:17] <tuxvix> will that be enoff for Ubuntu 6.10 ??
[09:17] <bjames> adaptr: I've never had a problem with noise

[09:18] <linux_user400354> how can i see what type of partitions i have on my hard drive such as primary, extended, logical, etc. I have fdisk, cfdisk, and GParted, but I dont see the information about primary, logical, etc for each partition that i have?

[09:19] <vakosel> to your name with a new dialog
[09:19] <bjames> adaptr: HDMI isn't a resolution - VGA can carry 1366x768 so no scaling is required and hence the video quality will be exactly the same as HMDI based systems

[09:19] <vakosel> you saw it?
[09:19] <coz_> toty, apt-get instal gcursor and after install it will be under system preferences  cusor selection

[09:20] <TruthElixirX> where is the place to install a boot loader at?
[09:20] <adaptr> bjames: that would depend on whether the TV would actually *use* the provided VGA quality you feed it.. quite apart from the obvious - IT'S NOT DIGITAL
[09:20] <bjames> adaptr: when I say "VGA can carry..." I mean a D-sub 15 cable

[09:25] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: is there another disk in your system, or is it a SATA disk ? does it have windows on it ?
[09:25] <goodgerster> roxlu, I recommend agave
[09:25] <moocowmoocowmoo> So I have the line "sudo smbmount $SHARE $SMBMP" in my shell script for backup... is there a way to bypass the sudo so i dont have password prompt?
[09:25] <Alin4leX> Does anyone have AMD AM2 mainboard?
[09:26] <TruthElixirX> SATA, brand new HDD, and I already tried that tutorial the bot just linked me too.
[09:26] <unique> how can i write my dmesg report in a file?
[09:26] <unique> posted to a file
[09:26] <bjames> adaptr: this isn't a high-performance system I'm building, but I want it to be able to run video and other media, it doesn't need to record/encode anything either
[09:26] <nRkiSt> Ben thanks but that doesn't work. I was never prompted for a root passwd when I installed
[09:26] <adaptr> unique: it always is in a file: /var/log/dmesg
[09:26] <Juan> hi, i'm on ubuntu edgy and i have a webcam which works on my user account (admin), but it isn't even recognized on other accounts
[09:26] <n2diy> unique: it all ready is written, it is in /var/logs
[09:26] <goodgerster> nRkiSt: yes, ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default. you need to create one using "sudo passwd root"
[09:26] <bjames> adaptr: my main system is an AMD X2 3800, 3GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, NVidia 7800GT
[09:26] <unique> adaptr: yea i know but let say for another use... how can i write stuff like that to a file?
[09:26] <bjames> ;)
[09:26] <jrib> nRkiSt: read the link from ubotu
[09:26] <adaptr> bjames: as I said: sure, if you want to run a mythtv box then it'll probably do fine - but be sure to check the video performance, and it may be agoo didea to get a better video card afterwards
[09:26] <unique> dmesg was just an example.. :b
[09:27] <TruthElixirX> Could it be possible my mobo is bad or something? Anyway to test that?
[09:27] <anirudha> adaptr, goodgerster , r_rehashed, Thanks everyone, I'll try it out! = )
[09:27] <adaptr> bjames: but then, you can always do that later, so I don't really understand your original question
[09:27] <goodgerster> good grief, this room goes fast
[09:27] <roxlu> goodgerster: thanx! (you're a webdeveloper?)
[09:27] <adaptr> unique: write what into a file ?> the output from a command ?
[09:27] <goodgerster> roxlu: er, ya
[09:27] <roxlu> working with ubuntu?
[09:27] <Juan> i'm on edgy and i have a webcam which works on my user account (admin), but it isn't even recognized on other accounts; how do i get it to work on all accounts?
[09:27] <unique> adaptr: yes
[09:27] <Caleb> if someone can help me with my sound, please speak to me
[09:28] <goodgerster> roxlu: yes. there's also a number of firefox plugins which are more specifically geared to colour picking
[09:28] <stefg> !sound | Caleb
[09:28] <ubotu> Caleb: 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
[09:28] <adaptr> Juan: admin is *not* a normal user account
[09:28] <Juan> i know
[09:28] <adaptr> unique: run_file > filename
[09:28] <Caleb> i know
[09:28] <bjames> adaptr: the original question was is the CPU good enough for the codecs (I have no experience with Semprons) so I was just looking for a finger in the air "I've got one and it runs mp4, Xvid, etc, fine for me"
[09:28] <goodgerster> roxlu: but agave does colour scheme generation and such
[09:28] <Juan> but i want to use the webcam with all user accounts
[09:28] <roxlu> goodgerster: oke thanx! which editor do you use?
[09:28] <adaptr> unique: man bash, rute user's guide (google for it)
[09:28] <jrib> Juan: check the groups that your first account is part of.  Check what the others lack.  Probably plugdev (guessing)?
[09:28] <Caleb> its other prblem sorry
[09:28] <goodgerster> roxlu: I use Bluefish and/or Gedit
[09:28] <yurimxpxman> whomever recommended bchunk: bchunk seems to be working perfectly. Thanks to whomever recommended it! =D
[09:29] <Caleb> in my case is that the center/lfe speaker are conected to the mic conection
[09:29] <goodgerster> yurimxpxman: that was about five people
[09:29] <goodgerster> :P
[09:29] <bjames> adaptr: if the mobo gfx sucks I can always get a card as you say, so it was just the codec question (I don't want to have to get a gfx card and CPU)
[09:29] <roxlu> goodgerster: did you use jedit?
[09:29] <yurimxpxman> LOL
[09:29] <adaptr> bjames: well, semprons do have smaller caches, but streaming video isn't about cacheing anyway - I have an athlon 64 3200+ which will run about anything
[09:29] <Caleb> because my center/lfe conection is broken
[09:29] <goodgerster> roxlu: never heard of it
[09:29] <roxlu> oh oke
[09:29] <Caleb> and i can configure this on ALSA
[09:29] <LiquidScythe> ok since i have been having loading problems with 6.10, is okay if i download 6.06 and then just update?
[09:29] <roxlu> (installed it today, kind of oke)

[09:29] <goodgerster> liquidscythe, do that again and you'll be stabbed through the face by the bot
[09:30] <bjames> adaptr: I love my AMD X2 - being able to run Windows and Linux (at about 80%) on the same machine is handy
[09:30] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > Hi, for some reason ubuntu is requiring a gpg key to be used when connecting to a repo
[09:30] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > How do I tell it not to use one
[09:30] <toty> coz_: is it safe to delete the whole .icons directory>
[09:30] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > if it isnt necesarry
[09:30] <Caleb> do you understand me ubotu
[09:30] <Caleb> ?
[09:30] <TruthElixirX> Are there any alternatives to GRUB?
[09:30] <goodgerster> bjames: you can do that with any other architecture windows runs on
[09:30] <jrib> ubotu: tell Caleb about yourself
[09:30] <adaptr> bjames: okay, well if you already have the sempron system, why ask ? go  try it out !
[09:30] <LiquidScythe> hey
[09:30] <LiquidScythe> umm
[09:30] <coz_> toty, there should be no need to do that why? what is happening?
[09:30] <adaptr> !Lilo | TruthElixirX
[09:30] <ubotu> TruthElixirX: lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[09:30] <jrib> TruthElixirX: lilo
[09:30] <bjames> I don't have a Sempron system
[09:30] <LiquidScythe> so if i get 6.6 it wont be that different than 6.10
[09:30] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: yes, but the alternative (lilo) is shite and is unlikely to work in any case. stick with grub
[09:30] <LiquidScythe> like what will i be missing out on
[09:30] <Caleb> jrib: can yo help me?
[09:30] <LiquidScythe> i just want ubuntu with xgl installed
[09:30] <LiquidScythe> thats all
[09:30] <bjames> adaptr: I have an AMD X2 3800+
[09:31] <bjames> dual core
[09:31] <TruthElixirX> GRUB isn't working
[09:31] <jrib> Caleb: what's the question?
[09:31] <adaptr> bjames: I know
[09:31] <goodgerster> LiquidScythe: XGL is horrid, get 6.10 and use AIGXL which is built-in
[09:31] <TruthElixirX> I can't get anything to work
[09:31] <bjames> adaptr: (and a 2.66GHz P4 laptop, but I don't count that)
[09:31] <toty> coz_: i have no busy cursor for any theme i choose.. its just blank.. but in gcursor i can see the cursor
[09:31] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: what's the problem with grub?

[09:31] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: what's the problem with grub?
[09:31] <roxlu> goodgerster: how can I use agave to select a color from another window?
[09:31] <Caleb> 4jrib:my center/lfe speaker are conected to the mic conection, and i cant configure this on alsamixer
[09:31] <nRkiSt> when i try "sudo passwd root" it prompts for a password!
[09:31] <TruthElixirX> IT isn't there, or so it appears
[09:31] <coz_> toty, mmm doesn't sound correct, i assume you highlighted the cursors youwant in gcursor?
[09:32] <TruthElixirX> I haven't aqcutally seen it
[09:32] <TruthElixirX> so  Idon't knwo fi ti is missing
[09:32] <jrib> Caleb: oh, no sorry I don't know anything about that
[09:32] <TruthElixirX> but I assume it is
[09:32] <TruthElixirX> I've tried the walk throughs
[09:32] <nRkiSt> when i try "sudo passwd root <password> it replies "Sorry try again"
[09:32] <toty> coz_: yep
[09:32] <TruthElixirX> but they result in nothing
[09:32] <goodgerster> roxlu: use the eyedropper, making sure the colour you want is visible
[09:32] <ruben_dario> hi..
[09:32] <gandalfcome> I download the NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA install it. At first it works but after reboot it tells me that the kernel module is not loaded and x doesnt start
[09:32] <nRkiSt> how do I esit sudoers file if i'm not root?
[09:32] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: what have you tried so far ? it takes only 10 minutes to troubleshoot a grub installation
[09:32] <Caleb> jrib: okey thanks
[09:32] <gandalfcome> please help
[09:32] <yurimxpxman> have any of you actually used PCSX before? I can't get it to load the ROM

[09:32] <LiquidScythe> OK IM REDOWNLOADING 6.10
[09:32] <kitche> nRkiSt: the password that sudo is asking for is your user password not the password that will be roots
[09:32] <LiquidScythe> OK IM REDOWNLOADING 6.10
[09:32] <Juan> yurimxpxman, use epsxe
[09:32] <jrib> nRkiSt: sudo visudo
[09:32] <coz_> toty, go to gnomelook.org under mouse cursor themes and find one you like, dwonload it and install it by way of gcursor see if that works

[09:32] <toty> coz_: and i get all the other icons but just not the busy one in the themes
[09:32] <Caleb> jrib: if you know someone that can help me
[09:33] <goodgerster> gandalfcome: google for "edgy nvidia" and do the kernel module step this time
[09:33] <fastly1> anyone here know how to mount my built-in memorystick reader?
[09:33] <goodgerster> LiquidScythe: shut up
[09:33] <TruthElixirX> I tried the "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows" tutorial, and no, I cannot boot
[09:33] <fastly1> vaio laptop
[09:33] <toty> coz_: ok i
[09:33] <toty> coz_: ok i'll try
[09:33] <coz_> toty, mm yeah that doesn't sound right unless you uninstalled the default theme
[09:33] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: what error do you get?
[09:33] <fastly1> any idea how to find out what to mount?
[09:33] <jrib> Juan: did you try what I suggested before?
[09:33] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, thanks will try that
[09:33] <stefg> TruthElixirX: define: cannot boot'
[09:33] <TruthElixirX> "Please insert boot media and hit a key or restart."
[09:33] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: what does "cannot boot" mean ? do you get to see the grub menu ?
[09:33] <Juan> jrib, yeah, they just lack admin things
[09:33] <Juan> which i don't intend to give
[09:33] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: remove the Ubuntu CD first
[09:33] <gRaCiOsO> where can i see a route of a usb device connected ?
[09:33] <TruthElixirX> I get a black screen with those words on it after installing Ubuntu and restarting
[09:33] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: check your BIOS to ensure it's booting off the hard disk grub is installed on
[09:33] <TruthElixirX> I did
[09:34] <jrib> nRkiSt: have you read the rootsudo link from ubotu?  There is no need to have a root password
[09:34] <TruthElixirX> ?I mean, I did remove the CD
[09:34] <TruthElixirX> And, I have checked the BIOS
[09:34] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: so that is your BIOS sayig that ?

[09:35] <__mikem> lol @ goodgerster
[09:35] <Odysseu1> Haha. Yeah.
[09:35] <TruthElixirX> I'm on the install/live CD now
[09:35] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: that's because grub never got installed *refers to adaptr*
[09:35] <goodgerster> __mikem: :)
[09:35] <TruthElixirX> Terminal opened
[09:36] <adaptr> goodgerster: of course it was installed - just not to his boot drive
[09:36] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: okay, now run grub
[09:36] <TruthElixirX> So where is it then? I only have one HDD
[09:36] <goodgerster> adaptr: not to the drive the BIOS is booting to, and he says he checked it
[09:36] <gRaCiOsO> where can i see a route of a usb device connected ?
[09:36] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: SATA, right ? and on an unsupported interface ?
[09:36] <adaptr> !lsusb | gRaCiOsO
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lsusb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[09:37] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, I think I found the error
[09:37] <goodgerster> Sir-Sid[Linux] : how do you know you don't? context please
[09:37] <TruthElixirX> just type "grub" in terminal to run it right? Done
[09:37] <goodgerster> gandalfcome: yes?
[09:37] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: what you are experiencing - that's what I mean :) grub doesn't see the drive as hd0 (zero), so it doesn't install there
[09:37] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > Its for the wine repo
[09:37] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > no key was given
[09:37] <ashika> Whats a good text editor with C syntax highlighting for ubuntu
[09:37] <Amadeo> Is there a way to completely turn off mouse acceleration without making your mouse incredibly slow?
[09:38] <goodgerster> Sir-Sid[Linux] : you can probably ignore that, but you do need a key
[09:38] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > I cant connect to the repo becaues I get an error
[09:38] <gRaCiOsO> adaptr,  i shows this Bus 001 Device 007: ID 22b8:4901 Motorola PCS i wanna see just the route where it is
[09:38] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: you have to install it by hand to (hd0), or possibly (hd1) or (hd2)
[09:38] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, I still had the nvidia-glx from synaptic installed and this module was probably loaded and not my downloaded driver
[09:38] <adaptr> gRaCiOsO: route ?
[09:38] <jrib> ashika: gedit, vim
[09:38] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, im rebooting now to see if it works
[09:38] <goodgerster> Amadeo: no, disabling mouse acceleration will disable your mouse... that is the meaning of acceleration - the transition from not moving to moving
[09:38] <TruthElixirX> I'm not sure what you mean as far as what am I experiencing. When trying to boot I jsut get "please insert boot media and reboot". Thats really al lthat happens
[09:38] <gRaCiOsO> adaptr,  yes
[09:38] <goodgerster> gandalfcome: wrong
[09:38] <TruthElixirX> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[09:38] <TruthElixirX> follwo that right?
[09:38] <Sir-Sid[Linux] > goodgerster: does every repo need a key then?
[09:38] <n2diy> ashika: gedit? but you have to specify whick language you want it to check.
[09:38] <kimmern> how do i exit x-server?
[09:39] <goodgerster> Sir-Sid[Linux] : the ones whose admins know anything about security, yes
[09:39] <vakosel> jrib, everything is working fine!
[09:39] <jrib> vakosel: great
[09:39] <Lars_G> What was the dpkg-reconfigure method to change scripts called at initlevel?
[09:39] <ashika> n2diy: I said C
[09:39] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: the problem with grub and sata disks at the moment is tricky: grub does not see your drive as the same drive from the install CD as when it is booted to the HD - so it always gets it wrong....
[09:39] <goodgerster> gandalfcome: you need to install restricted kernel modules as per the guide
[09:39] <nRkiSt> COOL!!  Got it guys! Thanks for the help !!
[09:39] <LiquidScythe> :D
[09:39] <Amadeo> goodgerster: Isn't that what mouse sensitivity is?
[09:39] <goodgerster> nRkiSt: *waves*
[09:39] <n2diy> ashika: so?
[09:39] <vakosel> jr, i mean synaptic manager too! didnt use reload button :(
[09:39] <goodgerster> Amadeo: no, that doesn't seem to have any bearing on anything for me..
[09:39] <TruthElixirX> @adaptr: so what do I do exactly, or where do I read what to do?
[09:39] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1601/     <--- im getting weird compile errors for cowpatty
[09:39] <ashika> n2diy: OH you mean tell the program?
[09:39] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: it won't help, as ubuntu install would have done it right the first time if that's your problem

[09:40] <kimmern> i'm installing new video drivers, and need to exit x-server first..si how?
[09:40] <goodgerster> *breathes*
[09:40] <jrib> putz`: what is that?
[09:40] <goodgerster> kimmern: type ctrl-alt-backspace
[09:40] <adaptr> kimmern: no need to exit
[09:40] <Snake> Anyone know how I can manage videos on my ipod with linux?
[09:40] <putz`> jrib, a corrupt openfirmware boot screen
[09:40] <Lars_G> Bipolar: I know you.
[09:40] <goodgerster> but yes, adaptr is correct, you can reboot it later
[09:40] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, I didnt find with edgy nvidia other than xgl beryl stuff, will try howto edgy nvidia
[09:40] <TruthElixirX> I went to the terminal typed "grub" and now it just shows "grub >" I would really love to experiment, but I have no idea what I am experimenting with...
[09:40] <putz`> jrib, happens every time I try to boot into ubuntu
[09:40] <goodgerster> gandalfcome: yes, I said that ages ago
[09:40] <Amadeo> goodgerster: Mouse acceleration to me (and in Windows) has always been what users can tweak in order to adjust the rate in which the mouse increases in speed from a slow to fast movement...with it off, the mouse would have a continuous rate of travel...with it on, it varies depending on the speed you move it...I would rather not have it change and stay constant
[09:41] <putz`> yaboot settings are correct (as far as I can tell)
[09:41] <vakosel> jrib, are you interested in python programming?
[09:41] <kitche> TruthElixirX: with grub sata drives are sd instead of hd unless they are running as pata the grub manula as more about grub and Sata drives
[09:41] <Snake> Anyone know how I can manage videos on my ipod with linux?
[09:41] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: then type: "root (hd," EXACTLY as shown, and press TAB
[09:41] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, no you said search for edgy nvidia
[09:41] <jrib> vakosel: I like python yes, but we should continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:41] <gandalfcome> goodgerster, not howto ;-)
[09:41] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: r-o-o-t-space-(-h-d-zero-comma-TAB
[09:41] <nRkiSt> as long as I'm here, what's up with 'make'? When I tried to make mozlugger, it complained that it couldn't find make! ubuntu doesn't ship gcc?
[09:41] <goodgerster> Amadeo: that's ludicrous, you're asking the cursor to move at a completely arbitrary speed irregardless of the speed of the mouse
[09:42] <TruthElixirX> Error 23: Error while parsing number
[09:42] <bertrand> hey, could someone help me ?
[09:42] <TruthElixirX> oh
[09:42] <TruthElixirX> zerto
[09:42] <jrib> nRkiSt: install the build-essential package
[09:42] <goodgerster> gandalfcome: yeah, yeah
[09:42] <dad> how do i tell if ihave dapper or edgy installed?
[09:42] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1601/     <--- im getting weird compile errors for cowpatty
[09:42] <putz`> 6.06 or 6.10
[09:42] <jrib> nRkiSt: mozplugger is in the repositories by the way, you shouldn't compile it
[09:42] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: sorry, it's either hd TAB or hd0 TAB
[09:42] <goodgerster> dad: press ctrl-alt-f1 and look at what it says - then ctrl-alt-f7 to get back here
[09:42] <dad> where do i find that?
[09:42] <Amadeo> goodgerster: That's how mice have always worked...
[09:42] <stefg> ! build | nRkiSt
[09:42] <ubotu> nRkiSt: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:42] <jrib> !version | dad
[09:42] <ubotu> dad: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[09:42] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: the format for grub is hd0,0 for first partition, hd0,1 for second, hd1,0 for first partition on second disk, etc
[09:42] <nRkiSt> apt-get install mozplugger?
[09:43] <jshadias> goodgerster: acceleration is almost necessary with big resolutions and the built-in laptop "mice"
[09:43] <bertrand> really ? ok. i'm having troubles with root authentification in the Konsole on Kubuntu. When the password is requested, i can't enter anything so i can't be root !
[09:43] <TruthElixirX> Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[09:43] <TruthElixirX> is what I keep getting
[09:43] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: what happens
[09:43] <goodgerster> Amadeo: in ubuntu the mouse moves in the direction you move it and proportionally to the speed at which you move it
[09:43] <stefg> nRkiSt: right
[09:43] <jrib> nRkiSt: sudo apt-get install mozplugger  should work if you have enabled the universe repository
[09:43] <abelle> I'll think about it
[09:43] <goodgerster> Amadeo: windows also does that
[09:43] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: type root (hd and then press TAB
[09:43] <goodgerster> Amadeo: as does OS X
[09:43] <Amadeo> goodgerster: Yes, but acceleration changes the speed between slow and fast movements..
[09:43] <yanger> is there a reason why k3b fails file verification in ubuntu?
[09:43] <Amadeo> it varies as you move it
[09:43] <yanger> says can't find source file
[09:43] <Amadeo> That's what I don't want
[09:44] <TruthElixirX> Error 21 once again
[09:44] <BlueLaguna> anyone have any idea when php5.2 will be added to apt repositories?
[09:44] <goodgerster> well, disable it and move your mouse faster then

[09:44] <vakosel> jrib, how can i install nvidia display driver?
[09:44] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: did you run grub as root ?
[09:44] <dad> thanks
[09:44] <Amadeo> goodgerster: If you turn it all the way down in Ubuntu/Linux, the mouse gets too slow
[09:44] <stefg> !nvidia | vakosel
[09:44] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: quit grub and run "sudo grub"
[09:44] <ubotu> vakosel: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:44] <jrib> !nvidia | vakosel
[09:44] <yanger> vakosel, apt-get install nvidia-glx, modify xorg.conf
[09:44] <goodgerster> vakosel: google for "edgy nvidia" and follow the first result
[09:44] <yanger> vakosel, does not work for everyone
[09:44] <goodgerster> Amadeo: move your mouse faster, then
[09:45] <TruthElixirX> Yes
[09:45] <jrib> goodgerster: that actually has instructions for installing beryl :P
[09:45] <Amadeo> goodgerster:  You're very helpful
[09:45] <goodgerster> jrib: yes, but it does the nvidia drivers first
[09:45] <bluefox83> ok, i just edited the samba config file (smb.conf) as best i can, now how to i start samba, or is there anything i have to start in the first place?
[09:45] <vakosel> great community ! thx a lot guys !
[09:45] <jrib> goodgerster: unstable ones,  google has failed us!
[09:45] <bertrand> have you heard my question ?
[09:45] <goodgerster> Amadeo: well, you're rather less helpful in expecting the mouse to not do what you've told it to do, i.e. move at the rate it's moved
[09:45] <goodgerster> jrib: stable also, methinks
[09:45] <mnk0> anyone know about settin up button options for a gaming mouse?
[09:45] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: so when you type up to hd and then press TAB grub doesn't show you ANY drives ? that's your problem right there, then...
[09:45] <stefg> !samba | bluefox83
[09:45] <ubotu> bluefox83: 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
[09:46] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: because it can't install itself anywhere either
[09:46] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1601/     <--- im getting weird compile errors for cowpatty
[09:46] <Amadeo> goodgerster: That's why they make high DPI mice, such as 2000dpi, so the rate of cursor motion is faster than the physical speed the mouse travels...
[09:46] <bertrand> hello, is my english so bad ?
[09:46] <TruthElixirX> wait wait. I think I got it this time
[09:46] <Snake> Anyone know how I can manage videos on my ipod with linux?
[09:46] <jrib> !root | bertrand
[09:46] <ubotu> bertrand: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:46] <TruthElixirX> Something different happened
[09:46] <LordUltimaDavid> i am having dvd burning problems, here is my brasero log http://pastebin.ca/316638
[09:46] <goodgerster> Amadeo: move your mouse faster, fiddle with X, buy a high-res mouse or enable acceleration
[09:46] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: it should say: possible disks are:"
[09:46] <bertrand> ok i'll see there
[09:47] <Tox> my printer it dznt print even if it recognized and shows print job what i have to do ?
[09:47] <goodgerster> Snake: afaik you have to move them over in nautilus and hope
[09:47] <Amadeo> goodgerster: Nevermind, you don't understand how mice work
[09:47] <jrib> bertrand: when you type the password, it doesn't show that you typed anything, but it is reading it in anyway
[09:47] <goodgerster> Amadeo: you don't understand how gnome works
[09:47] <Snake> goodgerster: that wont work with the ipod, it would work with your standard flash based player
[09:47] <PwndMopar> So, Edgy only offers old school JDK releases? D;
[09:47] <goodgerster> Amadeo: just fiddle until you bork it sufficiently to make it work, that usually works :)
[09:47] <Snake> goodgerster: but the ipod contains a database that would need to be updated ;)
[09:47] <Amadeo> goodgerster: You just told me it's the same in Windows and OSX..it's not :P
[09:47] <TruthElixirX> Okay, I was re-reading that tutorial. and I tried writing to the MBR instead of the linux partition, and every thing succedded when I typed "set up" this time.
[09:48] <TruthElixirX> Should I restart and see what happens?
[09:48] <goodgerster> Snake: yeah, but one can but hope with video ipods
[09:48] <Snake> Uhhh... ill pass...
[09:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: okay, then you should check the disks in grub's config first - do that now, it'll save you a reboot
[09:48] <TruthElixirX> how do I do that? "find /boot/grub/stage1"?
[09:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:48] <gRaCiOsO> someone has connected sometimes a motorola v3 in ubuntu and could help me?
[09:48] <goodgerster> Snake: I personally use windows for my ipod
[09:48] <MA77iAS> hi ppl
[09:49] <jrib> Snake: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideo ?
[09:49] <Amadeo> goodgerster: It seems the terminology in Gnome is backwards
[09:49] <Lord_Apex> Anyone have ubuntu on a mac book?
[09:49] <Snake> goodgerster: I don't have windows ;-)
[09:49] <MA77iAS> need som help with mounting hdd
[09:49] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: use less for a scrollable view
[09:49] <Snake> jrib: Thanks! I ll check it out
[09:49] <bertrand> okay, but the password i specified when installing doesn't work anyway; well, i'll see the url you typed then perhaps tell you what is still wrong
[09:49] <goodgerster> Amadeo: exercise your right as user and file a bug then

[09:50] <goodgerster> apart from adub?
[09:50] <bastiq> o/

[09:51] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: its not in /media/

[09:54] <yurimxpxman> do any of you know what's causing this problem? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1602/
[09:54] <bertrand> to use apt-get in konsole, i must be root, and i didn't succeed in the authentification

[09:55] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: did that
[09:55] <Lord_Apex> MA77:  then try to mount it manually
[09:55] <pianoboy4333> goodgerster: I can't, it took up the whole screen, so it froze the screen
[09:55] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: oh wait - you booted off the livecd, right ?
[09:56] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: have done that too
[09:56] <TruthElixirX> Correct

[09:57] <fremen> how do I install a PCMCIA sound card for my laptop?
[09:57] <Lars_G> Bipolar: sup?
[09:57] <gRaCiOsO> adaptr,  its a cell phone
[09:57] <New> thanks
[09:57] <yurimxpxman> anyone know the cause of this problem in epsxe? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1602/
[09:57] <bertrand> a last post,  i find linux nice :D i have been using it for one day  !
[09:57] <adaptr> gRaCiOsO: and you have tried the usual programs ?
[09:57] <goodgerster> pianoboy4333: try using ctrl-alt-f1 to open a new screen, log in, "startx" then kill it using task manager
[09:57] <n2diy> blade: If you can't boot off it, Ubuntu won't play.
[09:57] <Lord_Apex> Anyone have Ubuntu installed on a mac book?
[09:58] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: hmm yeh. thats should be that way.. made a manually mount for the first time , didnt work.. made fstab to take care of the mount.. didnt work.. same error whatever i do
[09:58] <bruenig> it is the celestial teapot guy
[09:58] <pianoboy4333> goodgerster: how many times do I have to tell you I don't want to do that
[09:58] <gRaCiOsO> adaptr,  sure i tried it but i cant see my movil files
[09:58] <gRaCiOsO> it doesnt connect
[09:58] <Nielsken> hi is there someone that can help a noob with installing tar.gz file for a wifi usb stick
[09:58] <Bipolar> Lars_G: watching tv, just have the laptop hooked up for the heck of it :)
[09:58] <adaptr> then I'm out of ideas - sorry
[09:58] <blade> n2diy: But since I can run games and exe files off of it, doesn't that mean that I can boot off it?
[09:58] <pianoboy4333> jrib: I can't use sys. m onitor, cause that screen is frozen, since the prog crashed, which took up the whole screen
[09:58] <goodgerster> pianoboy4333: ....you didn't tell me that, you said you didn't want to kill the existing copy of X. I then told you to open a new one
[09:58] <roxlu> hmm getting "Bad file handle" when I try to copy an image... some advise?
[09:58] <TruthElixirX> adaptr : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1604/
[09:58] <Lord_Apex> MA77:  is that disc partitioned up or is it just 1 partition?
[09:58] <tjansson> goodgerster: I did reinstall and copied all the files over and then "chown -R tjansson:tjansson" on my home folder. For some reason it will not open the graphics. However I made a test user and he can easily get inside kde.
[09:58] <goodgerster> pianoboy4333: read it properly
[09:58] <n2diy> blade: nope.
[09:58] <jrib> pianoboy4333: k, use htop  or  ps -ef | grep -i blob
[09:58] <adaptr> Nielsken: you usually only want to do that when there is no built-in driver available
[09:59] <Lars_G> Bipolar: I'm suffering right now, I missed my paxil two days in a row, and I'm suffering the side effects :/
[09:59] <pianoboy4333> jrib: I don't have htop, is it in the repos?
[09:59] <goodgerster> tjansson: you forgot chmod, methinks
[09:59] <jrib> pianoboy4333: yeah
[09:59] <Nielsken> adaptr: there is a linux driver
[09:59] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: its 1 partion at the hdd
[09:59] <roxlu> goodgerster: did you ever get a "Bad file handle" while copying a file to a ftp ?
[09:59] <Nielsken> adaptr: but I don't know the files to install
[09:59] <gRaCiOsO> adaptr,  ok thanks
[09:59] <goodgerster> roxlu: nope, sorry
[09:59] <blade> n2diy How do I find out if I can boot off it then?
[09:59] <adaptr> Nielsken: first see if Ubuntu has it already
[09:59] <pianoboy4333> jrib: the ps command worked, I have two numbers, which should I use with kill, the first or second?
[09:59] <yurimxpxman> anybody know the cause of this problem in epsxe? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1602/
[09:59] <Lars_G> goodgerster: It actually seems to be 4.0, i'm compiling kqemu module, it dies in fire when modprobing a module compiled with 4.1, but accepts one done with 4.0
[09:59] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: looking at it now
[09:59] <Bipolar> Lars_G: my wife takes that. nasty withdrawl
[09:59] <n2diy> blade: is it a usb drive?
[09:59] <TruthElixirX> adaptr : going to restroom. So I might not respond for a few seconds... :p
[09:59] <gRaCiOsO> someone have connected sometimes a movil motorola v3 in ubuntu and could help me?
[09:59] <heydabop> How do I download a .deb file, and automaticly download all of it's dependincies?
[10:00] <Nielsken> its a driver for my wt-2000usb stick
[10:00] <adub_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1601/     <--- im getting weird compile errors for cowpatty
[10:00] <blade> n2diy: Aye, it is
[10:00] <Nielsken> nu ubuntu driver
[10:00] <jrib> pianoboy4333: one probably corresponds to your grep command
[10:00] <goodgerster> Lars_G: the problem being?
[10:00] <tjansson> goodgerster: how is that? I copied with "cp -a". What rights do I need to set to get to make it work?
[10:00] <tjansson> goodgerster: is there a file that should be writetable?
[10:00] <jshadias> i'm trying to send and receive with a usb->serial(db9) convertor. i confirmed the serial cable working on its own, but i don't really know where to start with this convertor. dmesg shows a usb device connected but lsusb is all zeroes.
[10:00] <Lars_G> Bipolar: Yes, but at least i get one full day before withdrawal, with effexor I got two hours to miss the pill before I'd gone down
[10:00] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: erm.. try fdisk -l, *like the output tells you to*
[10:00] <goodgerster> tjansson: I'm not sure. but all dot-files should be writeable by the user
[10:00] <n2diy> blade: ok, go into your system bios, and see if you can change the usb drive to be first in the boot sequence.
[10:00] <ublender> caffeine is like nicotine
[10:00] <heydabop> How do I download a .deb file, and automaticly download all of it's dependincies?
[10:00] <fremen> how do I install a PCMCIA sound card for my laptop?
[10:01] <goodgerster> ublender: no, it's non-addictive
[10:01] <jrib> heydabop: use apt-get
[10:01] <heydabop> K.
[10:01] <pianoboy4333> jrib: one's the pid, one's the ppid, which do I use?
[10:01] <jrib> pianoboy4333: pid
[10:01] <Bipolar> Lars_G: I used to take that. i remember. i'm on lexapro now
[10:01] <heydabop> apt-get [link to /deb] 
[10:01] <heydabop> Like that.
[10:01] <goodgerster> ublender: it's also not packaged in filthy smoke with carcinogens
[10:01] <Nielsken> adaptr: I don't really know, and also don't know where to find it
[10:01] <ublender> goodgerster: then why do people get withdrawal symptoms from it?
[10:01] <TruthElixirX> back... oops.. sorry
[10:01] <blade> n2diy: How to I get to my system bios in windows?
[10:01] <adaptr> Nielsken: what is the device ?
[10:01] <Lars_G> Bipolar: How's it work for you?
[10:01] <jrib> heydabop: no, what are you trying to install?
[10:01] <pianoboy4333> jrib: ok, it's still not killing it, what else should I try besideds ctrl alt bkspace
[10:01] <PwndMopar> I moved a file, and it didn't go where I had intended.  I actually have no idea where it went :P
[10:01] <jrib> pianoboy4333: kill -9 PID
[10:02] <adaptr> blade: that's funny.. you don't, really - you press Delete or F12 when your system is booting
[10:02] <n2diy> blade: reboot, and follow the command to enter bios.
[10:02] <ublender> goodgerster: like this killer headache right now....
[10:02] <tjansson> goodgerster: just did "chmod u+rw *" but it didn't help
[10:02] <Nielsken> air live wt-2000usb adaptr
[10:02] <goodgerster> ublender: they don't, they simply don't get its effects any more
[10:02] <Bipolar> Lars_G: good. best one i've had so far
[10:02] <heydabop> kde-games
[10:02] <adaptr> Nielsken: Apple ?
[10:02] <jrib> PwndMopar: sudo updatedb && locate NAME_OF_FILE
[10:02] <TruthElixirX> k, it worked that time. Pasting now
[10:02] <blade> n2diy Gotcha. Lemme go reboot.
[10:02] <PwndMopar> :O
[10:02] <Nielsken> no
[10:02] <n2diy> blade: wait
[10:02] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: the hdd is not mounted, thats for sure.. Is there any way to lookup if my mountpath is used ??
[10:02] <blade> n2diy yeah?
[10:02] <Nielsken> adaptr: no
[10:02] <pianoboy3333> jrib: thank you
[10:02] <pianoboy3333> lol
[10:02] <gRaCiOsO> someone have connected sometimes a movil motorola v3 in ubuntu and could help me?
[10:02] <Lars_G> Bipolar: You got no add diag do you?
[10:02] <goodgerster> tjansson: in times like this I normally reinstall blankly and then copy my data as opposed to my entire home directory, sorry - I tend to run into this sort of problem
[10:02] <n2diy> blade: just see if it is an option, don't set it as the first one yet.
[10:03] <jrib> pianoboy3333: np
[10:03] <LordUltimaDavid> i am having dvd burning problems, here is my brasero log http://pastebin.ca/316643
[10:03] <blade> n2diy Will do. Brb.
[10:03] <Nielsken> adaptr: it's a windows based stick, but there is a linux driver on the website
[10:03] <Bipolar> Lars_G: what do you mean?
[10:03] <pianoboy3333> good 'ol irssi
[10:03] <adaptr> Nielsken: google doesn't know it
[10:03] <Lars_G> Bipolar: One thing I notice is paxil tends to almost eliminate phase two (cumulative effect) on my ritalin, so I wonder if you felt something similar on Lexa pro.
[10:03] <heydabop> jrib: I'm trying to install kde-games.
[10:03] <goodgerster> Nielsken: if it obeys any kind of standard, linux can mount it
[10:03] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1606/
[10:03] <adaptr> Nielsken: so that's probably not what it's called
[10:03] <Lars_G> Bipolar: I want to ask my pdoc to switch meds
[10:03] <adub_> can someone help me compile cowpatty i keep getting make errors

[10:04] <heydabop> What?
[10:04] <bruenig> !repeat
[10:04] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:04] <yurimxpxman> do any of you know what's causing this error in epsxe? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1602/
[10:04] <jrib> heydabop: sudo apt-get install kdegames   or  use adept
[10:04] <eegore> !joystick setup

[10:04] <heydabop> Ok.
[10:04] <Bipolar> Lars_G: well, i wasn't on ridalin... so i can't help you there.
[10:04] <heydabop> Thanks
[10:04] <PwndMopar> jrib, it didn't return anything.
[10:04] <jrib> heydabop: you should use adept or apt-get for everything
[10:04] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: okay, then just click on the hda1 icon that should be on the livecd's desktop
[10:04] <heydabop> Ok.
[10:04] <frankd3> what burning programs do you like the best?
[10:04] <MA77iAS> Lord_Apex: Yup.. made other try for mountpath
[10:04] <jrib> PwndMopar: heh did you move it into /dev/null? :P
[10:04] <adaptr> frankd3: beryl, hands down
[10:04] <PwndMopar> I don't think so :P
[10:05] <shinobi2> how to install java plugin?
[10:05] <PwndMopar> jrib, I did mv home
[10:05] <PwndMopar> And it's not there :P
[10:05] <Nielsken> adaptr: http://www.airlive.com/WT-2000USB.htm
[10:05] <bruenig> shinobi2, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin
[10:05] <jrib> PwndMopar: can't you just scroll up and see your full command?
[10:05] <adaptr> Nielsken: okay, weird google then :)
[10:05] <goodgerster> frankd3: evidently you're talking about some other kind of beryl
[10:05] <Lord_Apex> Can anyone give me a hand getting airport wireless card on my mac book working?  All the posts say it works after install and i've yet to get it to work.
[10:05] <jrib> !java | shinobi2
[10:05] <Nielsken> adaptr: I did the - wrong
[10:05] <ubotu> shinobi2: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository

[10:05] <PwndMopar> bash: cd: home: Not a directory
[10:05] <PwndMopar> lawl
[10:05] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I have two icons. One says "examples" the other says "install". Thats it. I've followed the install steps _several_ times. Did what happened in grub a while ago fix the problem?
[10:05] <ublender> !patience
[10:05] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[10:05] <jrib> PwndMopar: you renamed it to "home"
[10:06] <blade> n2diy I have no idea why I was wanting to put it onto my external HD.. I'm wayy to tired to be doing this.
[10:06] <fremen> could somebody please help me? how do I install a PCMCIA sound card for my laptop?
[10:06] <bruenig> home isn't a directory, how is that lawl worthy
[10:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok so i installed ubuntu and it worked fine but not i turned my computer off and tried to start it up at a different time and it stops on both recovery mode and regular boot mode
[10:06] <adaptr> Nielsken:     *  Ralink  Semiconductor, you could google for linux support for that
[10:06] <goodgerster> fremen: plug it in, reboot and hope. beyond that, google
[10:06] <PwndMopar> Oh hell, I did rename it home, didn't I? XD
[10:06] <jrib> PwndMopar: also, java is in the repos
[10:06] <n2diy> blade: ok.
[10:06] <tyler_> can someone help me with installing vmware?
[10:06] <blade> I just remembered that I move my laptop around alot, thus, I unplug my external HD... so I'd lose whatever I was working on in the process.
[10:06] <PwndMopar> jrib, older version is
[10:06] <tyler_> i'm getting an error, "Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin"."
[10:06] <fremen> er, more correctly, how do I install the drivers for a PCMCIA based soundcard?
[10:06] <Nielsken> adaptr: on the air live website is a linux driver
[10:06] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: it might have, but if it got the partitions wrong (which is likely) then you'd only have to boot the livecd *again*
[10:07] <blade> n2diy Will I still be able to save files onto my external HD when I'm in Ubuntu?
[10:07] <jrib> PwndMopar: true
[10:07] <n2diy> blade: yes, that shouldn't be a problem.
[10:07] <Nielsken> adaptr: but I will see if I can finf something
[10:07] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: okay. I'll restart and see what happens.
[10:07] <goodgerster> fremen: have you tried google? the make and model of the card helps also
[10:07] <bruenig> blade, yes, assuming it has a compatible filesystem, i.e. pretty much anything except ntfs
[10:07] <blade> n2diy Sweetness.
[10:07] <adaptr> Nielsken: you could certainly try that, but there is no guarantee that it'll work with this kernel - unpack the targz and read the readme to see which kernel it supports
[10:07] <PwndMopar> How do I move files, now? :P  Since, I had the totally wrong command for it.
[10:07] <bruenig> PwndMopar, mv
[10:07] <zoidberg> hey guys i've got a question
[10:07] <PwndMopar> I used that, and it renamed it :P
[10:07] <zoidberg> i have an IPOD connected to my compputer
[10:07] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok so i installed ubuntu and it worked fine but no i turned my computer off and tried to start it up at a different (about a week later) time and it stops on both recovery mode and regular boot mode
[10:07] <jrib> PwndMopar: that's the right command.  But if a directory doesn't exist, it will rename it
[10:07] <goodgerster> zoidberg: ask it
[10:07] <Lars_G> Bipolar: can I msg you once?
[10:07] <PwndMopar> :O, I see
[10:07] <TruthElixirX> be back. Wish me luck. >.<
[10:08] <PwndMopar> Thanks.
[10:08] <goodgerster> zoidberg: and?
[10:08] <zoidberg> ubuntu recognizes but i want ot back up some files on it but it wont let me copy and paste files onto the ipod?
[10:08] <bruenig> PwndMopar, wha mv /path/to/whatever /path/to/new/whatever
[10:08] <tyler_> if someone could help me with installing vmware, could you message me?
[10:08] <Bipolar> Lars_G: sure
[10:08] <blade> n2diy Is it possible to use a flash drive to boot Ubuntu? I'm having a hard time locating a CD...
[10:08] <bruenig> PwndMopar, you needed to use /home in that command not home
[10:08] <Nielsken> adaptr: I will do that, thanks
[10:08] <jrib> PwndMopar: just use   ~
[10:09] <zoidberg> goodgerster: can u help me?
[10:09] <adaptr> blade: you can put puppy on a flash stick, then do the network install from that
[10:09] <PwndMopar> jrib, got it.  Thank you :] 
[10:09] <tyler_> if someone could help me with installing vmware, could you message me?
[10:09] <kimmern> how can i exit x-server? im installing new video drivers
 ok so i installed ubuntu and it worked fine but no i turned my computer off and tried to start it up at a different (about a week later) time and it stops on both recovery mode and regular boot mode
[10:09] <goodgerster> zoidberg: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:10] <tyler_> restart x with ctrl alt + backspace
[10:10] <johns^> tyler_: just write what the problem is
[10:10] <thisissean> Hello, I am on the Ubuntu Live CD right now and I'm trying to install Ubuntu without installing grub. (I already have grub installed for another Linux install and I want to just add Ubuntu to that one later) How do I install Ubuntu without installing Grub?
[10:10] <PwndMopar> jrib, you know anything about setting up environmental variables?
[10:10] <tyler_> i'm getting the error, Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".
[10:10] <firebird619> I am going to be installing Ubuntu. What partitions are recommended aside from the default ones Ubuntu creates? I have 120 GB HDD and 256 MB for RAM.
[10:10] <jrib> kimmern: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop    "replace" start with "stop" to start it again
[10:10] <adub_> pcap.h what do i need to apt-get in for that
[10:10] <blade> adaptr So it'd work just like a CD? Hopefully?
[10:10] <goodgerster> zoidberg: find the line that mentions your ipod
[10:10] <tyler_> i have searched on the forumsa nd google and have found that othe rpeople have this problem but i havent seen a solution
[10:10] <adaptr> thisissean: you really want the alternative install CD for that
[10:10] <jrib> !nvidia | kimmern
[10:10] <ubotu> kimmern: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:10] <adaptr> blade: what do you mean ?
[10:10] <johns^> tyler_: are you installing from an nfs filesystem or something?
[10:10] <goodgerster> zoidberg: where it says "defaults", add ",user"
[10:10] <tyler_> nope
[10:10] <adaptr> blade: does your system support booting from an USB stick ?
[10:10] <tyler_> new install, just downloaded the vmware binary
[10:10] <jrib> PwndMopar: sure
[10:11] <thisissean> adaptr: what is "the alternative install CD" ?
[10:11] <goodgerster> then save and restart... I am not responsible for you borking your system at this point
[10:11] <johns^> tyler_: how are you installing. with sudo?
[10:11] <adaptr> !alternative
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alternative - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <tyler_> am following hte guide on http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209
[10:11] <adaptr> sjeez
[10:11] <tyler_> yes, with sudo
[10:11] <blade> adaptr I don't know, I'm sorry, I'm seriously new to this.. I'm just trying to figure out a way to boot Ubuntu and install it to my HD..
[10:11] <max_> hi, before i start digging the net for my problem: is it possible in GnomeBaker to burn additional files to already existing DVD-RW??
[10:11] <adaptr> !alternate
[10:11] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[10:11] <tyler_> it makes it though all the questions, then pauses and gives me that error
[10:11] <goodgerster> thisissean: the alternative CD has a text-only installer which is not as patronising as the licecd
[10:11] <johns^> tyler_: try chomd -R root:root vmware-vix
[10:11] <johns^> tyler_: sorry chown
[10:11] <adaptr> blade: well.. there are floppy ways
[10:11] <kitche> max_: if it's multisession yes if the dvd is already closed then no
[10:11] <zoidberg> goodgerster: so there are two places it says default, instead of default i should put there "user" or "zoidberg" (my username)
[10:11] <adaptr> !floppy | blade
[10:11] <ubotu> blade: To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone
[10:11] <shinobi2> bruenig: i installed it, still can't play applet
[10:11] <tyler_> okay, mind explaining what that does?
[10:12] <blade> adaptr I don't have a floppy drive in my laptop, though..
[10:12] <tyler_> or how you knew to try that
[10:12] <adaptr> NOOO ! it's all going wrong now
[10:12] <jrib> PwndMopar: depends on what they are and how you want to set them up.  You can use ~/.bashrc, or something like ~/.xprofile depending on what they are
 ok so i installed ubuntu and it worked fine but no i turned my computer off and tried to start it up at a different (about a week later) time and it stops on both recovery mode and regular boot mode
[10:12] <goodgerster> zoidberg: no, find the ipod line
[10:12] <adaptr> blade: but it does boot from USB ?
[10:12] <PwndMopar> Hmm,
[10:12] <goodgerster> it will mention /media/ipod or something similar
[10:12] <adaptr> blade:  does the laptop have a CD drive ?
[10:12] <blade> adaptr I'd assume so, I don't know how to find out for sure
[10:12] <kimmern> jrib didnt work
[10:12] <johns^> tyler_: you need root privs to install. so chown makes root the owner of the whole tree vmware-vix
[10:12] <goodgerster> then where on that line it says "defaults" add ",users"
[10:12] <bruenig> shinobi2, in firefox enter about:plugins in the address bar, see what it says about java
[10:12] <jrib> kimmern: did it stop successfully?
[10:12] <blade> adaptr Yup, I've got a CD drive. The problem is, I don't have any blank CD's that I can find...
[10:12] <adaptr> well, you look at the laptop, and see if it has a CD tray....
[10:12] <max_> should be multisession .. I did not tell it to close the first time i burned
[10:13] <kimmern> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/gdm not found.
[10:13] <zoidberg> goodgerster: what is the ipod line?
[10:13] <kimmern> jrib
[10:13] <tyler_> oh so maybe i didnt have permission of something in that directory
[10:13] <PwndMopar> Oh man, this looks ocnfusing :P
[10:13] <bjames> adaptr: just out of interest, do you mind if I ask what your profession is?
[10:13] <goodgerster> zoidberg: the line that references the ipod
[10:13] <jrib> kimmern: ok, kdm or xdm, whatever you use
[10:13] <adaptr> blade: hmmm.. that is a tricky one.. do you have RW cd's that you can afford to erase >?
[10:13] <Caleb> how can i open KMix??
 ok so i installed ubuntu and it worked fine but no i turned my computer off and tried to start it up at a different (about a week later) time and it stops on both recovery mode and regular boot mode
[10:13] <jrib> PwndMopar: export VARIABLE=VALUE
[10:13] <adaptr> bjames: I'm a systems engineer, why ?
[10:13] <zoidberg> okay one sec
[10:13] <ashika> how do I run vim
[10:13] <bluefox83> ok i am having issues with file permissions for samba, when i use "sudo mount -a" it can't seem to read the credentials file, even though i followed the guide and set "chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials"
[10:13] <bjames> adaptr: just wondering
[10:13] <ashika> after installing it
[10:13] <jrib> ashika: type 'vim'
[10:13] <ashika> I did
[10:13] <blade> adaptr I've got RW's, yeah, but they're only 650MB for some odd reason... the ISO file I've got is 698MB
[10:13] <tyler_> johns^: still gave me the same error
[10:13] <jrib> ashika: and?
[10:14] <jrib> ashika: you mean, "how do you use vim?"
[10:14] <ashika> it comes with a screen I cant type in
[10:14] <PwndMopar> jrib, I'd append that to the existing things in the file?
[10:14] <ashika> says type : help register
[10:14] <adaptr> blade: perhaps the alternate install CD is for you as well, then ? or try an older version of ubuntu instead ? you can always upgrade it
[10:14] <ashika> etc
[10:14] <trymmi> Hi! Anyone have enough spare time to help me with a (hopefully) simple question?
[10:14] <ashika> yeah so how do I use it
[10:14] <jrib> ashika: type :q!  to exit and then run 'vimtutor'
[10:14] <adaptr> does anybody know if the alternate CD is smaller ?
[10:14] <goodgerster> adaptr: I think it is
[10:14] <LiquidScythe> alright im reburning ubuntu 6.10 at x4
[10:14] <adaptr> trymmi: ask the question; won't know if it's simple until you do
[10:14] <LiquidScythe> alright im reburning ubuntu 6.10 at x4
[10:14] <blade> adaptr Well, I've got v6.06 right now..
[10:14] <jrib> PwndMopar: yep
[10:14] <PwndMopar> Thanks <3
[10:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> hi
[10:15] <johns^> tyler_: I'm reading that manual you mentioned.
[10:15] <blade> I mean, that's what I downloaded last night as an ISO file
[10:15] <ashika> jrib: does vim7 come with syntax highliting built in
[10:15] <jrib> PwndMopar: bashrc will only get sourced everytime you start a terminal
[10:15] <adaptr> blade: yes, but as you say that won't burn, so you need to look at alternatives
[10:15] <goodgerster> LiquidScythe: when did you forget the phrase "irritatingly repeating"?
[10:15] <jrib> ashika: yes
[10:15] <kitche> adaptr: hmm still hs the same amount of packages just doesn't have the live environment so it's a tad smaller
[10:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> i hate to be impatient but can someone help me
 ok so i installed ubuntu and it worked fine but no i turned my computer off and tried to start it up at a different (about a week later) time and it stops on both recovery mode and regular boot mode
[10:15] <PwndMopar> jrib, what do you mean?
[10:15] <kitche> Gunslinger|Deags: where does it stop
[10:15] <blade> adaptr Okay... brb for a second, I'm going to hunt for a CD
[10:15] <tyler_> i followed it, and there are people with the same problem at the end of it
[10:15] <mnoir> jrib:
[10:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> different places everytime
[10:15] <ashika> jrib: whats the command to open the vim editor where you can type
[10:16] <trymmi> When I try to install  the newest version of aMSN I get an error message..  Says Gedit can't recognize something.  I don't know how to explain since it's in norwegian
[10:16] <Gunslinger|Deags> but this time it stoped at loading hardware drivers
[10:16] <jrib> ashika: you need to learn the commands.  vimtutor will teach you
[10:16] <mnoir> jrib: doesn't vim as installed = vim lite w/o syntax highlighting?
[10:16] <bluefox83> anyone know how to deal with a permissions issue with samba credentials?
[10:16] <r_rehashed> I am unable to add the repository for wine mentioned in the community docs
[10:16] <r_rehashed> it shows an amd64 error
[10:16] <shinobi2> bruenig: it shows i have java 1.5 installed, do i need a reboot or uninstall "j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin " in synaptic? i installed that eariler
[10:16] <kitche> ashika: vim then press insert then type then press esc then :wq to save and quit vimtutor will help you out more
[10:16] <trymmi> Anyone know what's causing it? Do I need a new "unpacking" program or something?
[10:17] <adaptr> kitche: no such luck - they've managed to make the alternate CD 697 MB as well :( silly buggers
[10:17] <goodgerster> trymmi: what does it say gedit can't recognise? seems odd
[10:17] <kitche> !mini
[10:17] <jrib> mnoir: vim.basic gives me syntax highlighting
[10:17] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[10:17] <bruenig> shinobi2, yeah uninstall the 1.4
[10:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> kitche do u have any idea whats up?
[10:17] <Tox> cant setup printer somebody yelp!
[10:17] <adaptr> kitche: duh - shoulda thought of that
[10:17] <johns^> tyler_: strange, I just installde vmware-server myself and it went flawless. Exept the missing kernel-headers
[10:17] <kitche> Gunslinger|Deags: not really but the hard ware stopping could be due to udev not starting correctly
[10:17] <tyler_> hm
[10:17] <tyler_> yea, i got the kernel headers using hte generic command
[10:17] <tyler_> i'm using dapper
[10:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> and how would i go about fixing that
[10:18] <tyler_> a fresh install
[10:18] <jrib> PwndMopar: everytime you start a bash terminal, it reads .bashrc.  outside of that terminal then, your environment variables would not be set
[10:18] <PwndMopar> =O
[10:18] <PwndMopar> Does that mean the other file needs to be editted?
[10:18] <trymmi> Sent you a private Goodgerster, if that's ok
[10:18] <Gunslinger|Deags> its a slow computer but at the same time ionno like i believe it passes minimal requirements
[10:18] <tyler_> i can't understand what's going on
[10:18] <johns^> tyler_: I didn't see anything like vmware-vix btw.
[10:18] <jrib> PwndMopar: only if you need the environment variables to be set outside of your terminal, I would then use .xprofile for that
[10:18] <johns^> it's the free vmware-server?
[10:18] <adaptr> blade: did you check the Minimal link ? it's only 8.4 MB, so that would fit on a USB stick - or a 650 MB CD :)
[10:18] <Gunslinger|Deags> or could the problem be that it is a laptop?
[10:18] <goodgerster> trymmi: I haven't got anything, check that you are allowed to send them...
[10:18] <craigbass1976> I've got a samba server setupon Ubuntu.  It's wide open.  How do I mount it up?  I keep getting a no such device or address error
[10:18] <aninhumer> I need help getting tv-out working (intel 82830)
[10:18] <ashika> Whats a good GUI text editor with C syntax highlighting
[10:19] <ashika> Likeit doesn't run in terminal
[10:19] <jrib> ashika: gedit, gvim
[10:19] <PwndMopar> jrib, thanks :]   Same export stuff for that then?
[10:19] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: No luck
[10:19] <shinobi2> bruenig: ah.. thanks it works.
[10:19] <frankd3> johns^: yes vmware server is free
[10:19] <r_rehashed> can't wine be installed on amd64 cpus?
[10:19] <adaptr> craigbass1976: "mount it up" from where ?
[10:19] <goodgerster> trymmi: you could use pastebin if you wish
[10:19] <jrib> PwndMopar: yep
[10:19] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: did you get the Grub boot screen ?
[10:19] <johns^> frankd3: I know :)
[10:19] <tyler_> strange. well thanks for looking, maybe someone with post a solution on the same thread. it seems like a recent issue
[10:19] <PwndMopar> Thanks again <3
[10:19] <trymmi> Pastebin?
[10:19] <jrib> ashika: you can basically use any text editor
[10:19] <Tox> are you deaf here ?
[10:19] <ashika> gedit doesn't have syntax
[10:19] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: nope, same thing as before
[10:19] <ashika> jrib: I want syntax
[10:19] <Gunslinger|Deags> kitche the computer is 1ghz and has 256 memory and is a laptop that shouldnt give me any problems right?
[10:19] <goodgerster> tox: I personally have exemplary hearing, thanks
[10:19] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: and you only have ONE HD in your machine ?
[10:19] <LiquidScythe> blah
[10:19] <LiquidScythe> blah
[10:19] <johns^> ashika: try nedit
[10:19] <LiquidScythe> blah
[10:19] <th0r0n> Hey guys
[10:19] <LiquidScythe> blah
[10:19] <TruthElixirX> Yes
[10:19] <TruthElixirX> one
[10:19] <craigbass1976> adaptr, a linux client.  Here's what I'm trying (in fedora) mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/shares /home/craig/CANDO-remote/
[10:19] <th0r0n> I'm running Ubuntu Edgy
[10:19] <goodgerster> Tox: why do you ask?
[10:19] <TruthElixirX> Brand new
[10:20] <th0r0n> How do I configure a screensaver?
[10:20] <jrib> ashika: yes it does
[10:20] <bruenig> gedit does have highlighting, once you save the file with the right file extension it will usually kick in
[10:20] <th0r0n> I can set one, but they all have no options, is this right?
[10:20] <craigbass1976> It worked fine with a windows XP client by the way
[10:20] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: then you still did not set up grub correctly - where did you run setup to ?
[10:20] <trymmi> Goodgerster: It asks me to make sure i'm not opening a binary file
[10:20] <goodgerster> trymmi: or we could use google talk or msn messenger
[10:20] <Tox> ok tnx ur not :)
[10:20] <LiquidScythe> im bored
[10:20] <goodgerster> trymmi: what are you trying to open with gedit?
[10:20] <TruthElixirX> The MBR.
[10:20] <Tox> i cant setup a printer
[10:20] <TruthElixirX> !grub
[10:20] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:20] <Tox> cud u help me plz
[10:20] <shinobi2> bruenig: apt-get install sun-java5-jdk will give me a compiler for version 1.5 correct?
[10:20] <adaptr> craigbass1976: and it says what, exactly ? is your current user a samba user on the server ? is browsing open for all ?
[10:20] <LiquidScythe> im gona go
[10:20] <kitche> Gunslinger|Deags: that's good specs but booting problems can be caused by anything but udev is probably what is doing it you have to reinstall udev somehow
[10:20] <bruenig> shinobi2, yes
[10:20] <LiquidScythe> peace
[10:20] <stefg> !printer | Tox
[10:20] <LiquidScythe> peace
[10:20] <ubotu> Tox: 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
[10:20] <LiquidScythe> peace
[10:21] <aninhumer> I need help getting tv-out working (intel 82830)
[10:21] <shinobi2> bruenig: thanks
[10:21] <trymmi> Goodgerster: the aMSN source
[10:21] <goodgerster> LiquidScythe: for god's sake, stop repeating
[10:21] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: the exact command you ran, if possible
[10:21] <th0r0n> I used to be able to configure screensavers in Fedora Core 2 :(
[10:21] <Tox> i didnt fine it useful for my printer
[10:21] <adaptr> !Ops or something
[10:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Ops or something - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:21] <goodgerster> trymmi: is it a .tgz or .tar.gz or .tar.bz?
[10:21] <Tox> its hp laserjet
[10:21] <TruthElixirX> okay. one second
[10:21] <goodgerster> or similar
[10:21] <trymmi> Lemme check Goodgerster, not used to Ubuntu yet so things take time :P
[10:22] <craigbass1976> adaptr, yes, it's wide open.  No user or pass required.  "retrying with upper case share name  mount error 6 = No such device or address  Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[10:22] <dad> Im trying to mount hda1 and this is my line fstab "/dev/hda1	/media/hda1	vfat	defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid46 0	1" it doesn't mount cansomeone help me?
[10:22] <goodgerster> ok
[10:22] <Tox> everything seems ok  it found the printer but it not printing
[10:22] <adaptr> craigbass1976: no such device usually refers to your local mount point
[10:22] <trymmi> Ok
[10:22] <TruthElixirX> sudo -i, then grub, then I ran "find /boot/grub/stage1", then "setup (hd0)".
[10:22] <zOap> how do you install new fonts in ubuntu?
[10:22] <trymmi> Googerster as far as I can tell it's an x86 package
[10:22] <jrib> ashiku!fonts | zOap
[10:22] <aninhumer> I need help getting tv-out working (intel 82830)
[10:22] <jrib> !fonts | zOap
[10:22] <ubotu> zOap: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[10:23] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: and it said it was installing the stages then ?
[10:23] <goodgerster> zOap: put them in ~/.fonts or /usr/share/fonts
[10:23] <craigbass1976> adaptr, nope, it's there
[10:23] <mok> how can i find out which tv-card i got?
[10:23] <zOap> thanks ya all:)
[10:23] <Solarion> grr.  synaptic-package-manager changes keyboard input location on package selection.  :(
[10:23] <craigbass1976> adaptr, I get the same error when I try to mount it in /mnt
[10:23] <seagulltheme> Help! How do i set session manager to flush /tmp and /var/tmp on restart?
[10:23] <th0r0n> Ooo, I've got an AVI file I can't play, I can play some AVI's... Anyone know where to get Codecs from please?
[10:23] <adaptr> craigbass1976: anything in the server's logs ? if not, then it *is* an address issue - you're not even getting out of the client
[10:23] <Tox> start to think linux is not ready for using yet
[10:23] <goodgerster> trymmi: right, but what's its extension? I don't think you can open that in gedit... you would be better off installing from the repos, and I suppose you don't know they exist
[10:23] <Tox> every step in it is the biggest problem
[10:23] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: yes, and it said succeeded on everything. Should I, perhaps, reformat HDD completely and start all over?
[10:24] <johns^> Tox: linux has been ready for using since I started using it 10 years ago :)
[10:24] <Tox> cant find camera cant find printer
[10:24] <kitche> Tox: you mean just like in windows
[10:24] <trymmi> Lol, this is my first day with Ubuntu you see.. SOrry for being a noob
[10:24] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: if you like to spend time on that, sure.. but it will go wrong at the exact same point the next time, and you still have to fix the issue...
[10:24] <goodgerster> trymmi: type sudo apt-get install amsn and enter your password, it will be downloaded and installed for you
[10:24] <trymmi> Can you see my private convo now?
[10:24] <adaptr> Tox: complain to the manufacturer
[10:24] <aninhumer> I need help getting tv-out working (intel 82830)
[10:24] <bluefox83> !samba

[10:26] <Nielsken> adaptr: I can't do it by myself, I don't know what to do
[10:26] <goodgerster> trymmi: you can use Synaptic also, it's in System > Administration (or the appropriate norsk)
[10:26] <aninhumer> I need help getting tv-out working (intel 82830)
[10:26] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: as root?

[10:26] <n2diy> dad it is in /var/logs
[10:26] <goodgerster> Tox: what problems are you actually talking about?
[10:26] <Solarion> Tox: is your camera in PTP mode?
[10:26] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: okay, then do a "sudo mkdir /media/hda1"
[10:26] <craigbass1976> adaptr, I do.  It's /shares on the ubuntu box
[10:27] <johns^> dad: what does it do when you mount manually. mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /media/hda1
[10:27] <Tox> just plz help to set up my fickin printer
[10:27] <adaptr> craigbass1976: yet, the client disagrees...
[10:27] <Solarion> Tox: if not, it is not operating with open standards, and you will need special drivers
[10:27] <seagulltheme> How do i set session manager to flush /tmp and /var/tmp on restart?
[10:27] <Nielsken> adaptr: I've looked at google for some information, but I chinese for me. I found something about wpa_suplicant
[10:27] <goodgerster> trymmi, any luck?
[10:27] <Solarion> Tox: Model?
[10:27] <trymmi> Uhm. it says I have the newest version
[10:27] <kitche> Tox: did you select the printer in the printer list and go though the setup though it
[10:27] <Tox> printer or camera ?
[10:27] <trymmi> But when I open aMSN it says I don't
[10:27] <Solarion> Tox: printer first, then camera.
[10:27] <adaptr> craigbass1976: what does "smbstatus" on the server say ?
[10:27] <craigbass1976> adaptr, I know.  They really don't know each other that well...
[10:27] <Gunslinger|Deags> can someone help me with my boot problem i have to have this fixed for school tomm it just wont boot anymore and it tends to hang the most on loading hardware drivers this is a 1ghz 255 ram laptop and im not sure what to do

[10:27] <Tox> cam dznt matter
[10:27] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: k,. I input that, hit enter, and then it just says ubuntu@ubuntu: ~$,  again, like it is waiting for another command
[10:27] <Solarion> should be fully supported
[10:28] <adaptr> Nielsken: what. did. you. *do* ? you said you have a driver package - open it, what is in it ?
[10:28] <trymmi> Perhaps I shall delete the version of aMSN I have, and do it again
[10:28] <Tox> i did everything
[10:28] <heydabop> jrib: I was here earlier trying to install kdegames, I did what you said, but it didn't work.
[10:28] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: excellent
[10:28] <Solarion> Tox: what version of Ubuntu?
[10:28] <Tox> with wizard
[10:28] <Tox> edgy
[10:28] <jrib> heydabop: what happened?
[10:28] <goodgerster> trymmi: ah, you have the latest version available in the repositories. you should use that, as newer versions haven't been modified to fit into ubuntu... we should talk in MSN, my address is goodgerster@gmail.com
[10:28] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: next, "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1"
[10:28] <craigbass1976> adaptr, nothing is connected

[10:29] <adaptr> craigbass1976: and connecting on the server with smbclient works ?
[10:29] <heydabop> After typing sudo apt-get install kdegames, it said kdegames is not available, but is refered to by another package, this could mean the package is missing, orbsolete.... then said E:Package kdegames has no installation candidate.
[10:29] <dad> i can't find var/logs directory and when i manually mount hda1 it goes fine
[10:29] <Gunslinger|Deags> wow im getting raged

[10:31] <jrib> PwndMopar: yes
[10:31] <Solarion> Tox: type "Solarion: <message>" where <message> is what you want to say.
[10:31] <seagulltheme> Stonekeeper: What do you mean by "handle"?
[10:31] <PwndMopar> gedit ~/.xprofile?
[10:31] <Solarion> Tox: and without the quotes of cousre

[10:31] <PwndMopar> oic, thanks :P
[10:31] <Solarion> Tox: yep.  :)

[10:33] <johns^> Gunslinger|Deags: checking root file systems can take a long time
[10:33] <Tox> Solarion: hplip .. ok will i find it in synaptic ?

[10:35] <Stonekeeper> seagulltheme: can you write a script and get it to execute on boot (/etc/init.d) ?
[10:35] <heydabop> jrib: Here is my sources.list http://rossrs.us/sources.list
[10:35] <stefg> lilrayray: the nvidia driver is not open source, so no source available
[10:35] <jrib> heydabop: you don't have any online repositories.  I'll send you a link to where you can generate a new one
[10:35] <adaptr> Enverex: there's no such thing - those plugins will just use the system audio, or whatever you have configured for them - if you mean you want to choose with which plugin audio *files* are played in FF, just associate them with one of the players
[10:35] <heydabop> Ok.
[10:35] <jrib> !easysource | heydabop
[10:35] <ubotu> heydabop: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:35] <cokeslut> hi
[10:35] <seagulltheme> Stonekeeper: no :\
[10:35] <Tox> :) i mean my second try to set it up
[10:35] <lilrayray> adop: ahh, haha, been away from apt for too long, thanks
[10:35] <Solarion> Tox: ah
[10:36] <jrib> heydabop: let me know after you are ready to replace your old one and I'll give instructionst
[10:36] <seagulltheme> Stonekeeper: by that i mean, i do not know how!
[10:36] <Tox> thought loudly
[10:36] <heydabop> Ok.
[10:36] <Enverex> adaptr, It was the association I needed sorted (i.e. it was trying to use totem to play embedded sounds but I wanted it to use mPlayer)

[10:36] <cokeslut> ?
[10:36] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: # title		Linux
[10:36] <TruthElixirX> # root		(hd0,1)   <-- this sort of thing?
[10:36] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: yes, please do not post here
[10:36] <Solarion> shinobi2: I don't think you do.  It's a standalone app
[10:37] <heydabop> jrib: Ok, I created a new sources.list.
[10:37] <Tox> Solarion: hplip installed
[10:37] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I won't, but pastebin was loading very slow, I wanted to make sure I had the correct stuff to paste
[10:37] <PwndMopar> jrib, I guess it isn't :/
[10:37] <adaptr> !paste | TruthElixirX
[10:37] <ubotu> TruthElixirX: paste 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)
[10:37] <PwndMopar> I can cd to that directory though
[10:37] <Gunslinger|Deags> wwell i give up ill just fail my classes
[10:37] <Tox> Solarion: wots next
[10:37] <adaptr> that one is not slow, nor is pastebin.ca
[10:37] <jrib> heydabop: ok, now use this command: 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and replace what is there with your new one
[10:37] <Solarion> Tox: are the various foomatic parts installed?
[10:37] <Gunslinger|Deags> i cant believe noone knows whats wrong
[10:37] <shinobi2> Solarion: mozilla can run java web start though... any diff here??
[10:37] <jrib> PwndMopar: why do you guess it isn't?
[10:37] <heydabop> Ok.
[10:37] <Solarion> shinobi2: web start?
[10:37] <shinobi2> Solarion: yups
[10:37] <Solarion> shinobi2: are you talking about applets maybe?
[10:37] <PwndMopar> Because when I try to install IntelliJ, it says it can't find the JDK
[10:37] <Gunslinger|Deags> everyone is uposed to be extremely smart and they cant even answer me why my ubuntu doesnt start i dont understand
[10:38] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1610/
[10:38] <shinobi2> Solarion: nope, not applets,
[10:38] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: I can totally believe that - why would I want to *guess* what is wrong ? I'd prefer to investigate
[10:38] <PwndMopar> Gunslinger|Deags, reinstall
[10:38] <Solarion> shinobi2: dunno then.  I know you can run it on its own, though.
[10:38] <Gunslinger|Deags> i dont even know how to reinstall
[10:38] <shinobi2> Solarion: i write applets and web start apps
[10:38] <Gunslinger|Deags> im completely dumb
[10:38] <Solarion> shinobi2: you know more about it than I do then.  :)
[10:38] <PwndMopar> Gunslinger|Deags, put the CD in the drive and reboot.
[10:38] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: unless you also want to invest time to investigate, then you're probably doomed.
[10:38] <mnoir> Gunslinger|Deags: you are presenting a problem that looks like magic.  When did it last work and what have you done to it since?
[10:38] <Tox> Solarion: repeat but in simple way  about foomatic parts ..
[10:38] <Solarion> shinobi2: is there a special MIME type?
[10:38] <th0r0n> Hey guys, how do I configure a screensaver in Edgy?
[10:38] <th0r0n> I can select one, but not set its options
[10:39] <shinobi2> Solarion: i was able to config it to run on mozilla. MIME type is JNLP
[10:39] <erUSUL> Gunslinger|Deags: have you tried to boot in recovery mode?
[10:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> mnoir i didnt do anything to it but turn it off and let it sit for a week
[10:39] <Solarion> Tox: in synaptic, search (rightmost button) for foomatic, and install those packages.  :)
[10:39] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: This is off a CD? or off the HD?
[10:39] <PwndMopar> jrib, it says: exec: 60: /bin/java: not found
[10:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> yea it hangs in recovery mode too
[10:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> offthe hd
[10:39] <lilrayray> how come the the ubuntu servers are running so sloooooooow
[10:39] <zoidberg> sorry guys i got disconneted
[10:39] <mnoir> Gunslinger|Deags: after install did you ever reboot it?
[10:39] <PwndMopar> jrib, should I move my jdk install there?
[10:39] <jrib> PwndMopar: what does?
[10:39] <zoidberg> how do i backup files on an ipod on UBUNTU
[10:39] <Solarion> shinobi2: Ah.  You should be able to tell FF where to find the java web start program too when you open the proper mime type.
[10:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> yea
[10:39] <Pobega> th0r0n: xscreensaver-demo I believe
[10:39] <PwndMopar> jrib, when I try to install IntelliJ IDEA
[10:39] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: go to the grub menu, remove quiet, and splash from the line.  You'll get more information about what error you're getting.
[10:39] <zoidberg> it recognizes the drive but i cant paste files on the ipod
[10:39] <Solarion> shinobi2: it should ask you what to do with the file.
[10:39] <zoidberg> any help?
[10:39] <th0r0n> Thanks Pob
[10:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok flannel one second
[10:39] <Azul> lilrayray, probably badly configured
[10:40] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: as I suspected - you can do one of two things, the simplest is to try (hd1,0)  for the first entry, and (hd2,0) for the second
[10:40] <Pobega> zoidberg: What do you mean, explain what you want to do exactly?
[10:40] <aninhumer> What do you need to do to enable tv-out? (Intel 82830)
[10:40] <Tox> Solarion: hplip / data / dbg
[10:40] <nilsl> How do I install from a live cd in the terminal?
[10:40] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: try what, exactly?
[10:40] <jrib> PwndMopar: did you restart X after creating your .xprofile?  It only gets sourced when you login
[10:40] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: that gives you two choices after you reboot *yet again* :) without having to do it a third time...
[10:40] <PwndMopar> jrib, I'll go do that now :P
[10:40] <shinobi2> Solarion: FF=?
[10:40] <jrib> PwndMopar: wait
[10:40] <Pobega> nilsl: What do you mean? LiveCD terminal installation?
[10:40] <Gunslinger|Deags> i went to the menu and i dont see any option to remove anyway
[10:41] <Solarion> Tox: so you've installed the various foomatic packages, as I told you how to search for them in synaptic?
[10:41] <shinobi2> Solarion: ah... it just worked after what bruening told me what to do
[10:41] <Solarion> shinobi2: FireFox.
[10:41] <Gunslinger|Deags> o i hit e
[10:41] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: sorry, not following. I need to reinstall Ubuntu or GRUB? or both?
[10:41] <zoidberg> Pobega: i'm trying to put some files on this IPOD, so that i can back them up,,,,when i plug in the ipod in ubuntu it pops up i see the drive and i can play the music fine....but when i copy a file from my hard drive i dont have the option of pasting the file on teh ipod
[10:41] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: when booting, you have never even seen the message "booting gub.."
[10:41] <Tox> Solarion: yes i found it n installing at the moment ..
[10:41] <Gunslinger|Deags> and i got this lil menu thing flannel u said remove the kernal ro quiet splash thing?
[10:41] <Pobega> zoidberg: sudo aptitude install gtkpod, and use that program.
[10:41] <Solarion> shinobi2: guess I missed that.  :/
[10:41] <Solarion> Tox: cool
[10:41] <craigbass1976> adaptr, Ahhh, a smbclient -L showed that although the folder is called shares, the share is called share1.  All set now.
[10:41] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: nope
[10:41] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: just quiet and splash
[10:42] <F28> Whats better? KDE or GNOME?
[10:42] <Azul> GNOME
[10:42] <aninhumer> Does anyone know how to get tv-out with an intel card?
[10:42] <Flannel> F28: neither.  they're different
[10:42] <Gunslinger|Deags> how do i remove the quiet and splash i dont have that option
[10:42] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: then the odds are that GRUB is still not installed correctly
[10:42] <Pobega> F28: It all depends on what you like.
[10:42] <kitche> nilsl: you can't from the livecd
[10:42] <nilsl> Pobega: I don't get any installoptions, until I have started GNOME and all that. I wonder if there is a way to start the installer from a terminal, or from bash...
[10:42] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: push "e"  to edit the line
[10:42] <Solarion> F28: try both and see which one you like better.  The one you choose is better.  ;)
[10:42] <craigbass1976> F28, I like things about both
[10:42] <F28> k :)
[10:42] <n2diy> F28 Gnome has more support than kde.
[10:42] <SFTR> I am trying to compile a piece of software called xvidcap that I downloaded but when I hit ./configure I get the following error:
[10:42] <kitche> Gunslinger|Deags: just delete it from the kernel line
[10:42] <Pobega> nilsl: Why don't you try the alternate install CD?
[10:42] <Gunslinger|Deags> o ok
[10:42] <SFTR> configure:2568: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[10:42] <SFTR> See `config.log' for more details.
[10:42] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Right, so reinstall it following the tutorial to either hd1,0 or hd2,0?
[10:42] <Flannel> nilsl: the Desktop CD?  Nope.  the alternate CD is what you're looking for
[10:42] <Solarion> F28: gnome is generally simpler, but kde has more options.
[10:42] <Gunslinger|Deags> now hit escape?
[10:42] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: I'd like you to run grub once more, I'll run you through it

[10:43] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: run grub as root?

[10:43] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: now type "root (hd" and hit TAB
[10:43] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: report what it says

[10:44] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: did you type that EXACTLY as shown (obviously without the quotes)?
[10:44] <nilsl> Flannel: ubuntu-6.10-desktop-powerpc.iso
[10:45] <jrib> PwndMopar: go into a terminal and type:  echo NAME_OF_THAT_VARIABLE
[10:45] <lilrayray> anyone here experiencing immensely slow downloads speeds on the ubuntu servers????????///
[10:45] <Flannel> nilsl: correct.  That'll install, but only through the liveCD
[10:45] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Exactly like inside the quotes
[10:45] <Pobega> nilsl: Let me find a link
[10:45] <PwndMopar> jrib, nothing =O
[10:45] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: with a space between root and ( ?
[10:45] <F28> another question, how would i change the Kmenu icon @ the bottom left corner?
[10:45] <nilsl> Flannel: There should be an install for terminal somewhere there.
[10:45] <jrib> PwndMopar: what does your .xprofile say?
[10:45] <Flannel> nilsl: you'll boot, then on the desktop there's an install option.  You want the 'alternate' CD for just an installer.  Available at the same place you got that one
[10:45] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: wait - do you still have hda1 mounted ? you should probably unmount that first...
[10:45] <PwndMopar> export IDEA_JDK=/home/jdk1.5.0_10/bin
[10:45] <PwndMopar> export JDK_HOME=/home/jdk1.5.0_10/bin
[10:45] <PwndMopar> export Path=/home/jdk1.5.0_10/jre
[10:45] <PwndMopar>  jrib
[10:46] <Pobega> nilsl: http://osmirrors.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/ubuntu-releases/edgy/  the third one down, alternate install disc
[10:46] <Flannel> nilsl: it'll be ubuntu-6.10-alternate-powerpc.iso
[10:46] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: yes, exactly like that. How do I unmount hda1?
[10:46] <nilsl> Flannel: I don't get no install option, and besides, that's what I asked for ... If there were any alternatives.
[10:46] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: just run "sudo umount /media/hda1"
[10:46] <jrib> PwndMopar: do you use gdm?
[10:46] <n2diy> F28: I don't know, I run Gnome. :) Try right clicking, and properties?
[10:46] <PwndMopar> gdm?
[10:46] <Pobega> nilsl: Alternate is a non-graphical installer, so it should work fine.
[10:46] <PwndMopar> [[Guess not:P] ] 
[10:46] <jrib> PwndMopar: did you install ubuntu and have a graphical login?
[10:47] <zoidberg> Pobega: gtkpod only allows me to synchronize and manage music on the ipod...I"M TRYING TO BACK UP FILES ON THE IPOD!!!
[10:47] <nilsl> There should be another way to do this.
[10:47] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: didn't you get more info out of grub the last time you tried to run the root command ? because that would be scary
[10:47] <nilsl> You're all stupid. :D
[10:47] <willskills> hi guys, I added a bash script to start compiz when my pc starts. How do I delete the bash script I made?
[10:47] <PwndMopar> jrib, yes.
[10:47] <adub_> how about this for a n00b question how can i view all my buddies on my buddy list in gaim
[10:47] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok flannel i did the remove quiet and splash then booted from that device and i got no error its just stuck now at loading hardware drivers
[10:47] <Flannel> nilsl: no, there isn't.  the desktop Is ONLY a liveCD, and only able to install through the liveCD
[10:47] <adaptr> nilsl: you're all alone...
[10:47] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I'm not sure? I don't believe so.
[10:47] <adub_> i want to be able to delete people from my buddy list that are not online
[10:47] <jrib> PwndMopar: hmm this should be working... .xprofile is in /home/username/.xprofile right?
[10:47] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: well, that's what you told me
[10:47] <nilsl> adaptr: I have a cat.
[10:47] <zoidberg> does anyone know how to backup files on an IPOD on ubuntu?
[10:47] <PwndMopar> jrib, nah :P  I guess I'll change that now.
[10:47] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: then I probably did. I'm having informatino overload
[10:48] <toty> hi, whats a recommended backup tool?
[10:48] <nilsl> Flannel: I question that.
[10:48] <adaptr> nilsl: and it really, really cares about you... nasty little bugger

[10:48] <OrangeOrange> !music
[10:48] <Flannel> nilsl: well,you can go ahead and question it all you want, it won't change the facts.
[10:48] <luke> hi all
[10:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about music - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: if the output is now different form before then that is not hopeful....
[10:48] <nilsl> Flannel: Of course it will.
[10:48] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: can't keep everything straight. Okay. Unmounted. "sudo grub" again. Now at grub screen again. What do I do now?
[10:48] <PwndMopar>  mv ~/.xprofile /home/pwnd
[10:48] <PwndMopar>  jrib?
[10:48] <Solarion> shinobi2: may have to do more configging but you'll definitely need to re-source /etc/profile
[10:48] <nilsl> Flannel: The installationfiles are there, and I have a terminal, all I need.
[10:48] <Flannel> nilsl: go troll elsewere please.
[10:48] <PwndMopar> Or /home/pwnd/?
[10:48] <OrangeOrange> wat media player u use for ubuntu? two years ago i tried xmms but its way sucky than winamp(too bad not for linux)
[10:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: "root (hd" and press TAB
[10:48] <redDEAD> im looking for a program that looks as good as superkaramba for gnome that is not gDEsklets
[10:48] <Pobega> zoidberg: I'm not sure if you can put normal files on the iPod, you'd have to find someone who knows more about iPods than me.
[10:49] <Azul> OrangeOrange, for music or video?
[10:49] <nilsl> Flannel: Well, stfu, since I was just asking about another way, but I'm fairly sure there's some hack out there to do this.
[10:49] <Solarion> shinobi2: ah, there it is.  The extra config: "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[10:49] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[10:49] <Pobega> nilsl: You're trying to install, right?
[10:49] <F28> Where would KDE be instaled By default if i did "apt-get install kde-core" ?
[10:49] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: that is.. what mainboard do you have ?
[10:49] <Pobega> Also nilsil, no need to be so hostile, we're here to help you.
[10:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel i did the remove splash thing and quiet and booted the kernal and then it hung at detecting hardware ionno what to do
[10:49] <toty> Flannel: Thanks
[10:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> i got no error btw
[10:50] <PwndMopar> jrib, brb :] 
[10:50] <Solarion> shinobi2: after you set up java, you'll need to run ". /etc/profile" (I think in each window, although it might be unnecessary in newly-opened windows) until you log in again.
[10:50] <OrangeOrange> azul: audio
[10:50] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: does it do anything different when you try "root (hd0," and then press TAB ?
[10:50] <phreak_> i've just installed proftpd and gproftpd but gproftpd won't start, what am i doing wrong?
[10:50] <Flannel> nilsl: there's an "install" command on your desktop, that's the method you use to install.  The other would be just to copy all the crap, as if you were in any generic liveCD, like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix  But, the installer on the desktop should work fine for you, dingbat.
[10:50] <Nielsken> adaptr: I've found a readme file but all the text based files or locked so I can't change scripts
[10:50] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Error 11: Unrecognized device string
[10:50] <Azul> OrangeOrange, i use xmms myself, it's simple and easy.. but if you want a more featured one, i suggest amarok
[10:51] <Pobega> Flannel: Well said.
[10:51] <Azul> it's kde though
[10:51] <phreak_> nevermind it started now ^^
[10:51] <nilsl> Flannel: lol, so what are you talking about then?
[10:51] <adaptr> Nielsken: use the correct user for this, then
[10:51] <Azul> that's the only thing i didn't like
[10:51] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: you get a text boot, right? none of that fancy graphical stuff?
[10:51] <Nielsken> adaptr: I'm the only one
[10:51] <shinobi2> Solarion: ok thanks,
[10:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> no i dont
[10:51] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: it really doesn't see the disk :( perhaps now would be a good moment to swallow and reinstall ....
[10:51] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: then you didn't edit the grub line correctly ;)
[10:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> *sigh8 i did just what u said
[10:52] <adaptr> Nielsken: however, you apparently do not have permission to look at your own files - so fix that first
[10:52] <F28> Where would KDE be instaled By default if i did "apt-get install kde-core" ?
[10:52] <adaptr> F28: all over the place
[10:52] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: ah, you shouldve hit return, instead of escape.  escape cancels the changes.
[10:52] <bluefox83> how the heck to i get swat working? i installed it, and pointed my browser to where the man page says it's at..what should i do now?
[10:52] <Nielsken> adaptr: I can look, I can change, but I can't save
[10:52] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: lol. Okay. So I completely wipe the HDD?
[10:52] <F28> I mean the the config files for kde
[10:52] <adaptr> bluefox83: after installing it, you might like to start it
[10:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> i did
[10:53] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: if Ubuntu is all that's on it, yes - safest way
[10:53] <Gunslinger|Deags> but i can only hut return once
[10:53] <seagulltheme> my computer is randomly creating IOwait for no apparent reason and thus occupying 100% of the processor, I don't know why this happens. can someone help me?
[10:53] <Nielsken> adaptr: ok done
[10:53] <Gunslinger|Deags> then i have to either hit esp or nothing happens
[10:53] <eadz> thanks everyone, ubuntu is great.
[10:53] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: and pay very close attention next time to what the installer says and does - never accept any automatic solution
[10:53] <bluefox83> adaptr, and i go about that how?
[10:53] <redDEAD> im looking for a program that looks as good as superkaramba for gnome that is not gDEsklets. any help?
[10:53] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: it is. So how do you suggest I go about installing? The install icon on the desktop of the live CD, or a different way?
[10:54] <stefg> redDEAD: yes... forget it
[10:54] <adaptr> Nielsken: however swat likes ot be started - is there a script for it in /etc/init.d ?
[10:54] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: I always used the normal install
[10:54] <bluefox83> adaptr, do i use something like /etc/init.d/swat start ?
[10:54] <s> how can i install true combat  elite ?
[10:54] <adaptr> bluefox83: got it in one
[10:54] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok i hit return now im stuck here and i cant do anything do i hit b or esc or what
[10:54] <bluefox83> adaptr, cool :D
[10:54] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I thought that is what I was using? If it isn't, where is it?
[10:54] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: what does b do?
[10:54] <redDEAD> stefg thanks
[10:54] <adub_> does anyone know how to view edit the gaim buddy list
[10:54] <Gunslinger|Deags> boot?
[10:54] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: and, where is "here"?
[10:54] <Shuttt> bsr tlm :)
[10:54] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: it is, but I can boot :)
[10:54] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: sure, hit b.
[10:54] <adaptr> Nielsken: now what is in the readme file ?
[10:55] <Pobega> adub_: You right click the entires to remove, or you do Buddies -> Add to add new buddies
[10:55] <Solarion> Tox seems to have disappeared.
[10:55] <OrangeOrange> i follow the step correctly to install beryl on http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Dapper_with_AIGLX and its done.. however when i run it... it runs.. but everything is flipped.. mouse and keyboard doesnt work

[10:55] <OrangeOrange> i also get the error
[10:55] <bluefox83> adaptr, no such file or directory :O
[10:55] <OrangeOrange> 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b ...
[10:55] <adaptr> bluefox83: I told you to look for it first
[10:55] <Flannel> OrangeOrange: #ubuntu-xgl for beryl/xgl support, thanks
[10:55] <OrangeOrange> what do i do?
[10:55] <star-affinity_> anyone

[10:55] <Gunslinger|Deags> ill tell u what it stops on
[10:55] <star-affinity_> know how i remove the ubuntu installation from a mac?
[10:55] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: textmode, right?  no orange fancy graphics?
[10:55] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: No need to rub it in. :-p. Okay. I'll reinstall. After I run through the install process should I restart immediately, or do anything else?
[10:56] <adaptr> bluefox83: ps -e and see if it is running now
[10:56] <kevin_> hello
[10:56] <Balsamic_Chicken> hmm, i can't get my webcam to work on kubuntu, would it be possible for me to install msn and my webcam using wine 0.9.29?
[10:56] <Flannel> star-affinity_: just... reformat your drives.  And, if you overwrote your mac's bootloader, you'll need to put it back
[10:56] <adub_> pobega i want to be able to view my entire buddy list and delete people taht are not signed online right now
[10:56] <kevin_> is there a way to undelete files?
[10:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> well its stuck on starting raid devices but im pretty sure this computer doesnt have any raid devices
[10:56] <SFTR> After installing the build-essential package, I am getting a different problem with compiling xvidcap. The following errors are returned:

[10:56] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: I would just do what it suggests at the end, but you might want to go check the grub bits before rebooting, as that would save some time, and you can chat while in the livecd :)
[10:56] <adaptr> kevin_: nope
[10:56] <Pobega> adub_: Buddies -> Show Offline Buddies

[10:57] <bluefox83> adaptr, nope, not running...
[10:57] <adub_> thanks man new it was around some where
[10:57] <star-affinity_> Flannel: "just" reformat the drives? :) ok... but i have a working install of os x that i'd like to keep. and the bootloader has been removed. is there no other way?
[10:57] <adaptr> Nielsken: you just unpacked the package, is there a readme file inside ?
[10:57] <Nielsken> yes
[10:57] <kevin_> nothing has been put on that disk since
[10:57] <adaptr> Nielsken: or any other kind of documentation ?
[10:57] <Flannel> SFTR: please don't paste here.  And, you'll need to install gtk libs, from the repositories.
[10:57] <RandomDude16> UGH
[10:57] <adaptr> Nielsken: and you are not readign that because ?
[10:57] <RandomDude16> when I copy songs
[10:57] <RandomDude16> to the ipod

[10:57] <RandomDude16> this is driving me insane
[10:57] <SFTR> how do i install the gtk libs?
[10:57] <Nielsken> adaptr: because I don't understand it
[10:57] <shinobi2> Solarion: hey i did not have to run the /etc/profile , it just works after update-alternative, THANKS
[10:58] <Flannel> star-affinity_: You'll need to put the bootloader back.  I... have absolutely no idea how that's done ;)  But yeah, reformat and put them back to mac drives.  You might try googling, I guess.
[10:58] <bluefox83> RandomDude16, are you transcoding?
[10:58] <ciscosurfer> Hello Ubuntu Channel!!
[10:58] <finalbeta> Anyone here knows subversion? how do I recover from this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1616/
[10:58] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel its stuck most definately on starting raid devices now im really sure that this computer does not have any raid devices so why would it hang up there
[10:58] <Balsamic_Chicken> hmm, i can't get my webcam to work on kubuntu, would it be possible for me to install msn and my webcam using wine 0.9.29?
[10:58] <RandomDude16> transcoding what?
[10:58] <adaptr> bluefox83: erm.. well, okay.. wait a minute
[10:58] <RandomDude16> oh yeah it worked fine the other day
[10:58] <RandomDude16> on amarok
[10:58] <star-affinity_> Flannel: ok. thanx alot!
[10:58] <RandomDude16> before i tried to install gtkpod
[10:58] <Nielsken> adaptr: they put some command to change in the text based files that are in the package
[10:58] <adaptr> Nielsken: not understanding is a reason not to read it ? I always though that reading is the key to understanding
[10:58] <RandomDude16> from source
[10:58] <amigrave> is there an ubuntu package for ruby gem ?
[10:58] <adaptr> Nielsken: "they put some command" - sorry, no idea
[10:59] <OrangeOrange> i need xine for amarok?
[10:59] <dirl1> anyone knows a good HowTo for iPod nano?
[10:59] <RandomDude16> any idea?

[11:00] <Azul> the new kernel just came out
[11:00] <bluefox83> RandomDude16, did you install and set up the transkode plugin and set it to automatically transcode everything first?
[11:00] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel did u run away and hide?
[11:00] <stefg> Nielsken: call ( hours a workday and retry tomorrow... you are tired now, and prone to make mistakes
[11:00] <RandomDude16> no?
[11:00] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: it does that anyway, even if you don't have any, um.  You can disable it.  You'll end up needing to boot to a liveCD.

[11:00] <Nielsken> lookin on wiki and the internetn asking friends, all things that doesn't help me
[11:01] <Gunslinger|Deags> well i can boot to a live cd everytime
[11:01] <RandomDude16> I have a 5.5g ipod
[11:01] <RandomDude16> should I install rockbox on it?
[11:01] <Gunslinger|Deags> cant*
[11:01] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: oh, first off, what happened to make this happen?  did you update your packages? kernel?
[11:01] <PwndMopar> Zune ftw <3
[11:01] <RandomDude16> or can I?
[11:01] <Nielsken> stefg adaptr: I just need someone who can do it step by step with me
[11:01] <sixpointeight> I have the GParted LiveCD and the Ubuntu 6.10 LiveCD, is that enough to reinstall ubuntu?
[11:01] <adaptr> bluefox83: did you look at the contents of /etc/init.d ?
[11:01] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: right, of course not.
[11:01] <zOap> what would you say is the best of NFS and ssh as network solution? can nfs work through internet?
[11:01] <stefg> Nielsken: make and model?
[11:01] <Flannel> sixpointeight: yes, even simply the lattre is enough
[11:01] <Gunslinger|Deags> i dont think i did anything besides turn it off and let it sit on my desk for a week
[11:01] <bluefox83> adaptr, no, didn't think about that..
[11:01] <adaptr> Nielsken: nobody can when you don't read the files provided with the driver...
[11:01] <adaptr> bluefox83: I think it's called samba-swat in Ub
[11:01] <Nielsken> !pastebin
[11:01] <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)
[11:02] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: did you do anything before that?  Try booting up to the previous kernel version, if you have one, see if it's a kernel update issue
[11:02] <adaptr> that's a start. yes
[11:02] <sixpointeight> That's right, there is a restore ubuntu system option isn't there?
[11:02] <zoidberg> does anyone know how to save files on an IPOD under ubuntu?
[11:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> well before we put anymore time into fixing this problem maybe this can shed some light on things
[11:02] <bluefox83> adaptr, all i have is samba...no swat or samba-swat
[11:02] <sixpointeight> Well, thanks for the verification.
[11:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> i installed ubuntu like maybe week and half ago at christmas at my grandmas
[11:02] <adaptr> bluefox83: I'd start looking through bin directories for the swat executable
[11:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> then shut it off and brought it home and started it up
[11:03] <Gunslinger|Deags> did not touch it for 3 or 4 days then turned it off
[11:03] <Gunslinger|Deags> not i turn it back on and it does this
[11:03] <Nielsken> adaptr: this is the readme, I've readed a couple of times, but can't find a way true it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1618/
[11:03] <DanglyBits> how can i copy a movie dvd to another dvd?
[11:03] <n2diy> What happened to the Dapper's backup tool? I don't have it in /sys/admin?
[11:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> now on the other hand i need it for school to do 4 things i need to write papers , play counterstrike , play warcraft 3 , and chat to people on aim /msn / irc / other messangers
[11:04] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: so, no old kernel?
[11:04] <Rocket_37> Hi, everyone...
[11:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> i do bot believe so
[11:04] <stefg> http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html <- obligatory read for Gunslinger|Deags and Nielsken
[11:04] <Rob002> What is the difference between ubuntu server and desktop? I want to run ubuntu through VMWare as a LAMP server, but also would like the desktop features (Gnome / X / Etc.) Does the server version come with these?
[11:04] <DanglyBits> can anyone help....how can i copy a movie dvd to another dvd?
[11:04] <bluefox83> adaptr, after doing a search for swat, the only thing i came close to was a swat.pl in a documentation directory
[11:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> no wim willing to start over and do what i need to do to get it running
[11:04] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: in grub, do you have more than three entries? (regular, resuce,memtest)
[11:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> ill check hold on
[11:04] <adaptr> Nielsken: it needs wpa_supplicant in any case, and building it is not the easiest thing if you're new to Unix
[11:05] <adaptr> bluefox83: that's it, it's a perl script
[11:05] <Flannel> Rob002: server uses -server kernels, that have PREEMPT off.  However, you can switch between the two of them. easily enough (just install a non -server kernel).
[11:05] <adaptr> bluefox83: I stil lfind it odd that there is no init script for it
[11:05] <bluefox83> adaptr, how do i launch it?
[11:05] <Flannel> Rob002: they're just intsall CDs, once you have ubuntu installed, it's the same as any other *ubuntu distribution
[11:05] <kitche> adaptr: well swat tends to be started from inetd and not though init scripts
[11:05] <Nielsken> adaptr: so what can I do, wait, it's a gift. Why don't don't have a normal driver :s
[11:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> i have 3 entries in there flannel
[11:06] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: oh, is this 6.06 (dapper) or 6.10 (edgy)?
[11:06] <bluefox83> kitche, so how would one go about starting it?
[11:06] <th0r0n> wqedd cxczccz r6i
[11:06] <Rob002> The Ubuntu page says that the only way to get the easy setup LAMP server is through the server CD's... In your opinion, should I install the desktop and put LMAP on that, or the server? The LAMP server will just be for testing my websites, wont be a production server.
[11:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> 6.06
[11:06] <berly> hi, I just installed berly (and I thought everything went well), but when I run beryl-manager from terminal, i get an error, the first line of which is:  X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166               Can someone help me out?
[11:06] <DanglyBits> can anyone help....how can i copy a movie dvd to another dvd?
[11:06] <Flannel> berly: #ubuntu-xgl for beryl help.  thanks
[11:06] <kitche> bluefox83: though inetd or xinetd
[11:06] <berly> thanks
[11:06] <stefg> !k3b | DanglyBits
[11:06] <RandomDude16> can rockbox
[11:06] <ubotu> DanglyBits: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[11:06] <RandomDude16> be installed
[11:07] <RandomDude16> on any ipod?
[11:07] <Rocket_37> I'm hoping someone can help me out.
[11:07] <Rocket_37> I'm troubleshooting a problem that's displaying symptoms in one of my SATA HDDs. It was suggested to me to boot using a live Linux CD and try to diagnose outside the Windows environment. I'm in Ubuntu now, but I don't know how to start diagnosing the problem. I need to test the SATA controller and transfer rates from the drive. Problem is I don't know how to mount the drive. Can anyone walk me through it?
[11:07] <Flannel> Rob002: that's correct, the only way to have the CD install it for you.  Of course, it's not all that hard to setup manually either (apt-get a few things)
[11:07] <bluefox83> kitche, more specifically perhaps?
[11:07] <SFTR> What should I put after apt-get install to install the gtk libs?
[11:07] <adaptr> kitche: okay... you mean "it is started" in Ubuntu, because there's no laws, you know
[11:07] <Rob002> Flannel, thanks. I think I will go with the desktop version and apt-get the LAMP software.
[11:07] <bluefox83> RandomDude16, ask it in one line, not several..and if you want to find out, google is your friend
[11:07] <adaptr> bluefox83: do you have xinetd or inetd ?
[11:08] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel its 6.06
[11:08] <Flannel> Rob002: really, there's no difference in what you end up with.  So, I suggest you use whichever CD you already have ;)
[11:08] <bluefox83> adaptr, you mean /etc/init.d?
[11:08] <adaptr> bluefox83: for example, yes - but it's easier to check which one is actually running
[11:08] <kitche> bluefox83: inetd and xinetd are super servers you have to configure then correctly to start swat /etc/inetd.conf is their configuration file but not sure if it's installed by default
[11:09] <adaptr> bluefox83: ps -e | grep inetd
[11:09] <n2diy> What happened to the Dapper's backup tool? I don't have it in /sys/admin?
[11:09] <Rob002> Flannel, thats just the thing. Trying to decide which CD to download ;) According to the ubuntu page installing LAMP normaly is a hard process. Thats why I was considering the server release.
[11:09] <DanglyBits> stefg: will it do a direct dvd to dvd copy?
[11:09] <Rocket_37> If anyone has some advice I'd appreciate it

[11:09] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[11:09] <adaptr> kitche: inetd.conf is only the config file for the old inetd, although xinetd does read it
[11:09] <selahone> !fstab
[11:09] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:10] <adaptr> bluefox83: what does it say ?
[11:10] <Enverex> What do I need to do to get audio-previews working in Nautilus when I hover over audio files?
[11:10] <bluefox83> adaptr, inetd is not in the ps -e
[11:10] <adaptr> human sacrifices :)
[11:10] <SFTR> What should I put after apt-get install to install the gtk libs?
[11:10] <adaptr> bluefox83: then you don't have it running, or not even installed
[11:10] <n2diy> ! backup
[11:10] <Flannel> !lamp | Rob002, read that link, you can decide for yourself ;)
[11:10] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up.

[11:10] <Rocket_37> ubotu, is that directed to me?
[11:10] <ubotu> Rob002, read that link, you can decide for yourself ;): 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+)
[11:10] <adaptr> bluefox83: sudo apt-get install netkit-inetd

[11:11] <SFTR> well i was just told to install the gtk libs
[11:11] <kitche> SFTR: there is gtk+ and gtk+2
[11:11] <Rocket_37> Ubotu is a bot. I see.
[11:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot. I see. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:12] <PwndMopar> jrib, do you know an easier way to use winrar? :P
[11:12] <Rob002> Flannel, that was EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks a bunch!
[11:12] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: disabling RAID stuff should fix it for you, I'm trying to figure out how to do that from a liveCD
[11:12] <bluefox83> i did apt-get install inetd and it installed inetutils-inetd
[11:12] <SFTR> so do i need GTK+ or GTK+2?

[11:12] <ubotu> PwndMopar: 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
[11:12] <adaptr> bluefox83: okay, whatever - as long as that gets you inetd or xinetd; see if one is running now
[11:13] <bluefox83> it said it started it..
[11:13] <PwndMopar> Why thank you :P
[11:13] <kitche> mandraks: libqt3-mt is the package name
[11:13] <adaptr> bluefox83: and you believe stuff like that ? hey, how about this bridge I have for sale !
[11:13] <bluefox83> bluefox@ubuntu:/etc/init.d$ ps -e | grep inetd
[11:13] <bluefox83> 23736 ?        00:00:00 inetutils-inetd
[11:13] <kitche> SFTR: you need either or you can install both if you want
[11:13] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr do u not think it will work ok?
[11:13] <SFTR> i'll go for number 2
[11:13] <humpinH> hi, I'm trying to stream video and music through my house, what shoudl i use?
[11:13] <adaptr> bluefox83: okay, that is info we can use - now fire up the config: sudo gedit /etc/inetd.conf
[11:14] <kitche> SFTR: gtk+ is gtk version 1 while gtk+2 is the newer version of gtk+
[11:14] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: have you ever run fast games on that laptop ?
[11:14] <zoidberg> does anyone know how to store files on an IPOD IN UBUNTU?
[11:14] <bluefox83> adaptr, guess whats already in there :P
[11:14] <humpinH> second question, how can i share one sound device (USB stereo) on two comps?
[11:14] <SFTR> ok, so what should i put after "apt-get install" to get GTK+2 ?
[11:14] <Gunslinger|Deags> well ionno how much cs has changed but u used to be able to run this game on a 32 mg vid card
[11:14] <tiolpxe> hi, say i want to grant permissions to a folder who is not the owner i dont want others to be able to access must i make he she a member of the group? or is there another way
[11:14] <adaptr> bluefox83: yes, but is it active ?

[11:15] <selahone> Rocket_37 this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131
[11:15] <gRaCiOsO> someone have connected a movil motorola v3 in ubuntu and could help me?

[11:15] <Rocket_37> Thanks, selahone, I'll check it out
[11:15] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: are we talking about CS or CS:S here ? the windows or Linux version ?
[11:15] <bluefox83> whats the password and username for swat?
[11:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> just cs
[11:15] <adaptr> bluefox83: set in a swat config file in /etc
[11:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> and they make a linux version of cs?
[11:16] <kitche> SFTR: libgtk+2 it seems but might want to look though synaptic
[11:16] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: I dunno - it would certainly run better if they did
[11:16] <Gunslinger|Deags> i was gonna try and run it off steam to be honest adaptr
[11:16] <Gunslinger|Deags> and just install cs on from my steam account
[11:16] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: you'll always pay a 20%+ penalty when running Windows games
[11:16] <Mentok> Hey there
[11:16] <hairulfr> Anyone know where you can get EasyUbuntu other than Freecontrib? (Freecontrib is down)
[11:16] <selahone> If you are using an Ubuntu Live CD, are you Root?
[11:16] <bluefox83> adaptr, it's your username and password :P
[11:16] <Mentok> Is it possible to get a Prism 2.5 chipset Wifi card to work on Ubuntu?
[11:17] <adaptr> selahone: no, but you have a passwordless sudo - same thing
[11:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> should still run ok tho id think
[11:17] <bimberi> selahone: no, the user is 'ubuntu'
[11:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> ill look it up
[11:17] <kitche> !easyubuntu|hairulfr ask in their irc channel
[11:17] <ubotu> hairulfr ask in their irc channel: 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
[11:17] <selahone> Can you use the LIve CD to logon to Safe mode? That's root isn't it?
[11:17] <SFTR> i tried that but it didn't exist. i've just done a search on synaptic but it returns quite a lot of results
[11:18] <adaptr> selahone: boot to text mode if that's what you want: edit the livecd's boot menu and add "single" to the end of the kernel load line, then boot
[11:18] <hairulfr> ubotu: Thanks!
[11:18] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[11:18] <hairulfr> Haha
[11:18] <selahone> Gotcha adaptr. Thanks
[11:18] <hairulfr> Ok then
[11:18] <Mentok> Moo

[11:18] <Mentok> Anyone got any expierence in Prism chipset wifi cards?
[11:19] <SFTR> libgtk2.0-0
[11:19] <SFTR> does that sound nice?
[11:19] <adaptr> iketurner: why do you want to kill it ?
[11:19] <iketurner> I did stop mysqld
[11:19] <kitche> SFTR: that;s it
[11:19] <iketurner> I for got the password and want to run a script to reset it
[11:19] <PwndMopar> Thanks much, jrib.
[11:19] <SFTR> "libgtk2.0-0 is already the newest version." damn?
[11:19] <bluefox83> ok, so can anyone help me configure samba with SWAT?
[11:20] <iketurner> I keep getting Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: N
[11:20] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok adaptr heres what it says i need p2 450 mhz processor 128 mb ram 16 mb vid card
[11:20] <kitche> SFTR: you might want the -dev package
[11:20] <bluefox83> i just need to get one folder to work with this, and then it'll be ok..
[11:20] <Mentok> Anyone
[11:20] <Mentok> ?
[11:20] <adaptr> iketurner: you forgot the mysql root password ?
[11:20] <Gunslinger|Deags> and i have 1 ghz processor 255 mb ram 64 mb vid card
[11:20] <Gunslinger|Deags> it may not run real real well but thats ok
[11:20] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: that should run great in windows 98 then :) why not run windows 98 in vmware or something ?
[11:20] <iketurner> I tried the normal root password and it doesnt work
[11:21] <adaptr> iketurner: did you *set* the mysql root password ?
[11:21] <Gunslinger|Deags> wtf is vmware?
[11:21] <Gunslinger|Deags> lol
[11:21] <iketurner> I thought I did
[11:21] <stefg> !vmware
[11:21] <ubotu> vmware is VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"). Instructions for VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[11:21] <iketurner> when I enter the password I thought it doesnt work
[11:21] <adaptr> iketurner: easy to check: run mysql -u root and see what it says
[11:21] <athena_> hi. im having issues with grub
[11:21] <Gunslinger|Deags> lol that helps... its a vmware player
[11:21] <Gunslinger|Deags> amazing
[11:21] <iketurner> it gives enter password
[11:21] <Gunslinger|Deags> would help if i knew what vmware is
[11:22] <Gunslinger|Deags> lmao
[11:22] <Mentok> Is it possible to get a Prism 2.5 chipset Wifi card to work on Ubuntu?
[11:22] <riotkittie> what's ath0?
[11:22] <stefg> !grub | athena_
[11:22] <ubotu> athena_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:22] <iketurner> I enter the password I set and it gives access denied
[11:22] <adaptr> iketurner: okay, that means you have set it - how would you propose to break through that ?
[11:22] <kitche> Mentok: with madwifi you can probably
[11:22] <adaptr> iketurner: and you are certain the password is correct ?
[11:22] <riotkittie> athena_: what problems are you having ?
[11:22] <Mentok> Madwifi is for the other chipset
[11:22] <iketurner> I can run a init script while in safe mode
[11:22] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr so what is the easiest way to accomplish what i wanna do here
[11:22] <adaptr> iketurner: when you *have* set a password for mysql you *must* run it with -p
[11:23] <riotkittie> madwifi is for what chipset?
[11:23] <Gunslinger|Deags> i just need to get this done so i can get ready for classes tomm
[11:23] <kitche> riotkittie: ath0 is your wireless card
[11:23] <Gunslinger|Deags> and since u seem to be the most helpful i nominate u to help me
[11:23] <iketurner> so mysql -u root -p
[11:23] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: apart from first installing xubuntu on the laptop  you mean? I would not put (k)ubuntu on such a small memory machine
[11:23] <iketurner> and that says enter password
[11:23] <Enverex> Argh, my computer keeps hardlocking at random
[11:23] <adaptr> iketurner: yes
[11:23] <RawSewage> is it ok to be DMZ host. or is that risky
[11:23] <SFTR> thanks kitche
[11:23] <Mirro> with XGL the fonts are too small, how can i change them without using System > Preferences > Fonts ?
[11:23] <SFTR> but now there's something else
[11:23] <iketurner> then I enter it and it gives me access denied
[11:23] <SFTR> No package 'libglade-2.0' found

[11:24] <kitche> !multiverse|SFTR you need to enable rest of the repos
[11:24] <ubotu> SFTR you need to enable rest of the repos: 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
[11:24] <riotkittie> ok. then whats wlan0?
[11:24] <adaptr> iketurner: you'll need to *log in to mysql* to do that - which you can't, since you've lost the password
[11:25] <Enverex> Can anyone help me diagnose random hard-locking? :/
[11:25] <kitche> riotkittie: wireless again probably :P
[11:25] <riotkittie> kitche: thought so too. but. if ... hm. ah. nevermind :p
[11:25] <kitche> iketurner: you have to reset the root password let me dig up the howto on it
[11:26] <RawSewage> is it ok to be DMZ host. or is that risky
[11:26] <adaptr> iketurner: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[11:26] <RawSewage> Is DMZ host safe on Ubuntu
[11:26] <Dybber> Where in xchat do i change the default browser (it started to use lynx after i removed Opera)?
[11:26] <adaptr> iketurner: 5 second google, by th eway
[11:26] <athena_> im installing grub using knoppix right now on breezy. and i set it up by typing in grub /dev/hda. then root (hd0,0), and then setup (hd0) and then quit
[11:26] <kitche> RawSewage: dmz is never safe
[11:26] <RawSewage> kitche, oh
[11:26] <riotkittie> i need to  figure out why wireless works in gnome but ... not outside of gnome :\
[11:26] <whitesuit> Enverex, you might want to check those things: temperature, shared irq's causing conflicts and device drivers like proprietary video drivers bugs
[11:26] <riotkittie> er X, in general, rather
[11:26] <kitche> adaptr lol 5 seconds took me 2 just by going to mysql and looking there
[11:26] <athena_> and when i restart my computer, it gives me a bunch of random characters and it freezes
[11:27] <riotkittie> i sense a lot of reading in my future
[11:27] <adaptr> RawSewage: a DMZ host is not protected from the internet at all
[11:27] <iketurner>  I did a google search on it
[11:27] <RawSewage> adaptr, ew
[11:27] <adaptr> RawSewage: (at least, on a sub-$10000 home router)
[11:27] <RawSewage> adaptr, I figured maybe on Linux it would be

[11:27] <adaptr> RawSewage: that has nothing to do with Linux
[11:27] <Enverex> whitesuit, Can't check the temps (not sure if this kernel has any support for the temp hardware on this machine). IRQs are all individual with it being APIC, Video driver was fine on Gentoo...
[11:27] <RawSewage> adaptr, ok, ty
[11:27] <Hillkka> Can somebody tell me if WINE and launch Programs designed for thw Windows 2000 O/S???
[11:28] <kitche> Hillkka: wine supports up to win xp
[11:28] <stefg> !wine
[11:28] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:28] <Hillkka> Thanks Kitche!
[11:28] <kitche> Hillkka: but doesn't mean the program will run or not though
[11:28] <Rocket_37> I'm booted into the Ubuntu Live environment and I'm trying to mount a drive using 'mount dev/sdb1 mnt/samsung' and I'm being denied permission
[11:28] <riotkittie> ive only used crossover
[11:28] <Gunslinger|Deags> hey adaptr did u hear wat i said
[11:28] <adaptr> Rocket_37: use sudo
[11:28] <Hillkka> So you mean 50/50?
[11:28] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: no, what was that ?
[11:28] <kitche> Rocket_37: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/samsung
[11:28] <riotkittie> and to some extent, i regret it because its not like i'm running win apps under linux
[11:29] <Rocket_37> adaptr: what is sudo?
[11:29] <stefg> !sudo
[11:29] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:29] <reverendnathan> Umm... help!? I just tried to install Automatix2... and now everything Gnome related is gone! Gnome-desktop-environment, Gnome, etc!!! Help!!
[11:29] <Rocket_37> ok
[11:29] <Gunslinger|Deags> well i have no problem with doing what u said with xubuntu but i have ubuntu on there no i have know knowledge how to uninstall or no cd image or cd to burn the image on for xubuntu
[11:29] <riotkittie> maybe i'll copy free cell over.
[11:29] <Rocket_37> what's the syntax?
[11:29] <kitche> !automatix|reverendnathan:
[11:29] <ubotu> reverendnathan:: 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
[11:29] <adaptr> riotkittie: I dare you to run paint
[11:29] <Hillkka> Kitche, do you know where I can download WINE for my Ubuntu machine?
[11:30] <reverendnathan> Ugh.
[11:30] <kitche> Hillkka: from winehq.com follow their instructions
[11:30] <riotkittie> adaptr: i might :P  i havent touched paint since ~92.  i wonder if it still has the spray can tool
[11:30] <blade> I found a CD and I've got the Ubuntu ISO file written to it, what do I do now?
[11:30] <stefg> !seveas | has ggod wine packages

[11:30] <samalex> question, why has Ubuntu taken over?  So many other distros have been out for so long, so what did ubuntu do right that everyone else has done wrong?  Just curious.
[11:31] <whitesuit> Enverex, well, i would at least advise you to use the open source drivers instead of the proprietary ones just to check
[11:31] <Enverex> whitesuit, It's only at random though and I can't really stand a day of the utterly useless "nv" drivers instead to check. Is there any log or anything I can check?
[11:31] <n2diy> blade: put it in the cd, and boot from it.
[11:31] <gandalfcome> I installed the radeon driver according to the howto on. but my screen is black. xserver doesnt give an error. I have a radeon x700 mobility
[11:31] <adaptr> riotkittie: it probably has at least one more button by now, although I must say it hasn;t changed that much in 15+ years :)
[11:31] <gandalfcome> please help
[11:32] <kitche> samalex: other distros are niche distros slackware and such for example ubuntu tries to be a desktop distro like mandrake fedora xandros
[11:32] <whitesuit> Enverex, yes, they're all in /var/logs
[11:32] <adaptr> riotkittie: MS probably thought it a good idea  not to mess with their one stable application
[11:32] <Enverex> whitesuit, Yes but they get overwritten on the next boot
[11:32] <blade> I already tried to restart my computer and boot from the CD, but it just started up Windows...
[11:32] <riotkittie> adaptr: ew. did you have to mention the number of years?  i feel old now.
[11:32] <adaptr> riotkittie: own up to it, mate :)
[11:32] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr well i have no problem with doing what u said with xubuntu but i have ubuntu on there no i have know knowledge how to uninstall or no cd image or cd to burn the image on for xubuntu
[11:33] <Flannel> blade: you need to change your boot order in your BIOS
[11:33] <n2diy> blade: ok, go into bios, and set your cd as the first boot device, and your hard drive as the second.
[11:33] <Flannel> blade: so it boots from CD before HDD
[11:33] <whitesuit> Enverex, hmm thats not the normal behavior, please use system > administration > system logs and check if you can't see older logs
[11:33] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: you can simply install any *buntu from within any other *buntu
[11:33] <blade> Sorry to sound noobish, but how do I do that? ^^''
[11:33] <adaptr> gunlsas they're just desktops anyway, the underlying OS is identical
[11:33] <Gunslinger|Deags> ya adaptr but then it goes back to i cant get this version to startup lmao
[11:33] <riotkittie> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[11:34] <grimboy> I've just built a more recent versions of drm and mesa (http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building). However now whenever I run something (even ls) in the console I get "ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/grimboy/checkouts/mesa/libGL.so.1.2' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.". glxgears runs super choppy as well. I've followed the guide and it was working before. Anyone got any ideas what's wrong.
[11:34] <Enverex> whitesuit, hahaha, the log viewer crashed and brought up the Bug Reporting Tool
[11:34] <n2diy> blade: who are you asking?
[11:34] <blade> n2diy Anyone =p
[11:34] <grimboy> -. +?
[11:34] <blade> Two people responded to my first question..
[11:34] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: sorry to hear that.. you'll have to investigate into your hardware,m and what happens during boot.. pay close attention to dmesg and./or syslog
[11:34] <n2diy> blade: I told you how to get into bios a couple of hours ago.
[11:34] <Gunslinger|Deags> lol i have no idea how to do any of that
[11:34] <stefg> omg
[11:34] <whitesuit> Enverex, :-/ did you install deb's from third party or are you using a clean ubuntu install ?
[11:34] <grimboy> blade, sudo apt-get install *buntu-desktop
[11:35] <Enverex> whitesuit, I have some third party debs but they are just games (nothing system or toolchain related)
[11:35] <blade> Sorry n2diy, my memory is shot today..
[11:35] <kitche> grimboy: no clue sicne dri is a dead project anyways they all merged into one and now called mesalib
[11:35] <riotkittie> blade: when you boot, you should see something that says hit <FKey> for options
[11:35] <n2diy> grimboy: he has the cd.
[11:35] <Gunslinger|Deags> the only thin i know adaptr is when i start up it hangs up and i cant get it to go past those points
[11:35] <camerong> hey
[11:35] <n2diy> blade: reboot your computer, and follow the instructions to edit your bios.
[11:35] <grimboy> kitche, What? Why didn't the page tell me that?
[11:35] <riotkittie> perhaps one that says FKey for boot menu
[11:35] <camerong> can anyone here help me with a ndiswrapper problem?
[11:36] <Enverex> whitesuit, Ok, it's not random, the log program crashes ever time I open it
[11:36] <Enverex> *every
[11:36] <blade> Okay, let me go reboot and see what I can find
[11:36] <riotkittie> i have suddenly lostt the ability to tp.g tyep tpp type. and i am sick of backspacing to deal wih it. so i ams hutting up!
[11:36] <adaptr> riotkittie: perfectly clear to me :)
[11:36] <Wimpog> GUYS, I have two disks /dev/hda, and /dev/hdd. How do I access /dev/hdd disk?
[11:37] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: past what "points" ? if there are points, then there must be things that designate them, as such for you - so what happens i.e. what do you see on screen ?
[11:37] <stefg> riotkittie: that's evolution... only the well adapted survive :-)
[11:37] <whitesuit> Enverex, hmm thats really strange, i would suggest you remove the third party debs and check if you have broken packages..this shouldnt be happening
[11:37] <grimboy> kitche, So uh... how do get that?
[11:37] <wick2o> mkdir /media/blah && mount -rw /dev/hdd /media/blah
[11:37] <wick2o> something kinda like that
[11:37] <whitesuit> Enverex, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:38] <Wimpog> wick2o: thank you. I'm begineer at linux, I'll try that
[11:38] <wick2o> well dont forget to sudo and such
[11:38] <Wimpog> yeah
[11:38] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok the load screen starts and it either stops at loading hardware drivers or continues on to loading root file systems
[11:38] <Enverex> whitesuit, ugh, I'm not deleting all the games which took ages to download because some completely unrelated app crashes :/ Edgy 6.10
[11:38] <odyssey> whats the best way to upgrade from dapper to edgy
[11:38] <willytell> Wimpog, it depend of system file too (ext3, ntfs).
[11:38] <Gunslinger|Deags> and i would say theres a 1-10 chance i will get to the lloading file systems thing
[11:38] <stefg> !upgrade
[11:38] <Enverex> whitesuit, They aren't dodgy randomly found debs, it's ones specifically from the sourceforge pages anyway
[11:39] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:39] <Wimpog> willytell: I think I have ext3 or 2, HOW DO I CHECK IT???
[11:39] <stefg> odyssey: but think twice if you *really* want that
[11:39] <JonTwelve> how well does the automatic upgrade option work?
[11:39] <kitche> grimboy: go to mesalib website
[11:40] <Flannel> JonTwelve: have you installed any third party repositories?/automatix/etc?
[11:40] <JonTwelve> yes
[11:40] <riotkittie> caffiene cures all ills
[11:40] <grimboy> kitche, You mean http://www.mesa3d.org/? That links me back to dri.freedesktop.org.
[11:40] <Flannel> JonTwelve: which one?
[11:40] <Wimpog> GUYS, what command shows you the filesystem type?
[11:40] <JonTwelve> riotkittie: except hang overs
[11:40] <Seveas> Wimpog, fdisk -l
[11:40] <Seveas> or mount
[11:40] <willytell> Wimpog, good question.... I don't know... I always see it when I'm installing linux.
[11:40] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr ok the load screen starts and it either stops at loading hardware drivers or continues on to loading root file systems and theres about a 1-10 chance i get to the root file systems load
[11:41] <kitche> grimboy: it doesn't have me the pages look almost the same though
[11:41] <grimboy> kitche, Sorry I might be being dense.
[11:41] <Wimpog> willytell: Yeah, when you reboot you can see, I just don't want to reboot right now
[11:41] <willytell> Wimpog, let me search something in google.
[11:41] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: so you get past the grub menu ? then start in recovery mode next time you boot
[11:41] <adop> Wimpog: could use mount
[11:41] <whitesuit> Enverex, well, i dont know what else could be causing you lock-ups, if you dont try and change some things like test other drivers, etc im not sure how youre gonna fix your system :/ you could try lm_sensors and check the temperatures.. the packages of ubuntu itself shouldnt be behaving like that, so i would guess its a problem on your end and not on the system
[11:41] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok one second
[11:41] <Wimpog> adop: mount worked
[11:41] <Wimpog> adop: thnkx
[11:42] <JonTwelve> flannel: i'm not sure, my buddy is the linux guru and did it for me
[11:42] <Flannel> JonTwelve: your buddy did a disservice to you.  pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[11:42] <JonTwelve> at least i think he did, he went into synaptic and enabled almost all of them
[11:43] <hairulfr> how do I make the system clock display 24H? In apps that display time it's 12H, kinda disturbing
[11:43] <Flannel> JonTwelve: oh, that's not third party repositories.  Show us a pastebin, we'll know then.

[11:44] <riotkittie> internal journal is fun to say.
[11:44] <sonnyday> does anyone know what it means if beryl shows the splash and then logs me out?
[11:44] <n2diy> hairulfr: right click on your clock and play around in preferences.
[11:44] <tscherno> i have a small question
[11:44] <gandalfcome> I installed the radeon driver according to the howto on. but my screen is black. xserver doesnt give an error. I have a radeon x700 mobility
[11:44] <hairulfr> kitche: Yeah, it is 24H, but in here, where it shows timestamps it's in 12H, the clock is 24,

[11:45] <Flannel> sonnyday: you can also try #xgl, and #beryl
[11:45] <Gunslinger|Deags> how the heck do i do that
[11:45] <kitche> hairulfr: right click the clock and go to properties
[11:45] <whitesuit> Enverex, that temp should be a problem
[11:45] <sonnyday> k
[11:45] <whitesuit> Enverex, *shouldnt
[11:45] <sonnyday> riotkittie: what should i look for?
[11:46] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: you edit the kernel line in the boo tmenu and add "noapic nolapic" to the end of the line
[11:46] <Wimpog> mount doesn't show everything. Like I have /dev/hdd mounted to /media/junk and it is different fs, HOW can I see it's type?
[11:46] <hairulfr> kitche: Yeah, but that is 24, but gaim and other apps display it as 12H
[11:46] <riotkittie> sonnyday: lines starting with (EE), perhaps
[11:46] <adaptr> !noapic
[11:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about noapic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:46] <Enverex> whitesuit, Yeah I guessed. Just for the record I'm a hardware tech and I've been using Linux for over 5 years. I have a worrying feeling this Mobo may be dying or something though.
[11:46] <n2diy> hairulfr: right click on your clock and play around in preferences.
[11:46] <kitche> hairulfr: then you edit the programs themselve to display 24h
[11:46] <adaptr> sjee, that's a bitch
[11:46] <Gunslinger|Deags> k ill do that real fast
[11:46] <tscherno> i activated XDMPC, but i cant connect, and nmap shows that XDMPC Port is still closed

[11:47] <Eroick> has anyone gotten a TV working with ubuntu?
[11:47] <tscherno> Flannel: I activated everything possible
[11:47] <whitesuit> Enverex, yes, could be that, one suggestion would be to try and compile a kernel on the system just to stress it enough and see if it hangs. you could do that booting to text-only so you dont have other gui elements to get in the way of testing..if it hangs than its most likely to be hardware related.

[11:48] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Install complete. How do I check to make sure GRUB is in correctly?
[11:48] <odi3> i set it up before, long time ago, i forget how unfortunately..
[11:48] <stefg> bluefox83: you might want indeed to read the links people provide for you
[11:48] <JonTwelve> ah!
[11:48] <bluefox83> riotkittie, no kidding, but i need help, took me all of 5 hours to get samba to let me mount the windows shared folder..
[11:48] <odi3> gdb is installed via package manager
[11:48] <tscherno> at login windwos and at Remote Desktop, wich i supose is VNC
[11:48] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: and it is one of the few things which can totally freeze the system in unpredictable ways, too :)
[11:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: look in th einstall log :)
[11:48] <n2diy> kitche: you told him to use date in a terminal, not the same thing as what gnome is displaying.
[11:48] <Gunslinger|Deags> o great
[11:48] <bluefox83> stefg, i did, and i do, some of them are not helpful
[11:48] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Sorry, but I'm not sure where/what that is?
[11:49] <Wimpog> GUYS, more questions: I have ubuntu server, and want to synchronize its clock. WHAT AND WHERE do I add to the crontab?
[11:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> well im attemptin it now
[11:49] <tscherno> the gmd.conf also shows XDMPC enabled
[11:49] <riotkittie> bluefox83: ah. i've never really messed around with samba so i cant help
[11:49] <kitche> n2diy: you haven't read anything that I said his gnome is already setup for 24h
[11:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok it stuck at loading hardware drivers again
[11:49] <sonnyday> i think i found the problem, it has (ee) by "AIGLX: DRI module not loaded", so I presume that I need to tell it to load that under section module in x-org.conf, would that be correct?
[11:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> i can tell when it sticks because everything just stops
[11:49] <hairulfr> kitche: Hmmm, weird, there's nothing I can do... strange
[11:49] <riotkittie> i only have samba and sambafs to allow me to mount shares on my box.
[11:49] <willytell> Wimpog, do you read my before message?
[11:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> the processor and fan just stop
[11:49] <odi3> mnoir when i try to use debug in kdevelop i get this: "could not locate the debugging shell '/home/odi3/4476/assign1/debug/libtool'
[11:49] <Enverex> whitesuit, I'm stressing it now but it doesn't seem related, it just locks at random, it's only done it twice in the last 2 days
[11:50] <mnoir> odi3: this is an uncommon question.  If you do not get an answer here quickly, ya might want to try #kde since it was developed for that environment -  I am sure you can make it work in gnome, but it is built on kde libs
[11:50] <Wimpog> willytell: yeah, I am trying to figure out now whether or not I did everything correctly
[11:50] <_t_m_b_> Say I have Debian installed and the GRUB bootloader installed, is it possible to install Ubuntu over Debian without messing up my system or bootloader?
[11:50] <n2diy> kitche: then it should work with the apps, I didn't have to setup xchat to display 24 hr time.
[11:50] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: the installer writes log files in /var/log/installer - but if you're on th elivecd now, the location will be different
[11:50] <odi3> mnoir ok thanks
[11:50] <stefg> bluefox83: bothered to check your menu for the 'shared folders' settings ? We are not going to do /your/ homework
[11:50] <Flannel> tscherno: which version of ubuntu you running?
[11:50] <odi3> ill go to kde:)
[11:50] <mnoir> odi3: dry i cannot be more help
[11:50] <mnoir> dry=sry
[11:51] <tscherno> Flannel: 6.10
[11:51] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I am on the liveCD, so do I sort of just poke around? Or is it somewhere specific?
[11:51] <Wimpog> willytell: here is my situation: I had another hdd that was not mounted to anything. I first typed mkfs /dev/hdd, and then mount /media/junk /dev/hdd. That's what I did so far
[11:51] <whitesuit> Enverex, yeah, its tough , i was having a similar problem with fc6 those days...just locking up for no reason...ubuntu has been solid
[11:51] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: I'd unplug any USB/PCMCIA/whatever modules you may have plugged in, and reboot to run "memtest"; unless the install went smoothly ?
[11:51] <Wimpog> willytell: actually mount -rw /dev/hdd /media/junk
[11:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> i have nothing plugged in
[11:51] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: well, run "mount" to see which partitions are mounted, and where - your root partition will be hda1 again, so whereever that is mounted
[11:51] <Enverex> whitesuit, I used Gentoo until like a Week ago and it was fine
[11:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> the install went smooth
[11:52] <riotkittie> gentoo. /cringe/.
[11:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> it took about 10 min but it worked just fine
[11:52] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: will do
[11:52] <Wimpog> willytell: I need that disk to be a separate partition...
[11:52] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: running out of ideas here.. what is the make/model of the laptop ?
[11:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> ita an hp something
[11:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> lol
[11:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> i dont see a number
[11:52] <adaptr> okay, then google for "something" and linux problems
[11:52] <Flannel> tscherno: have you gone to System > Administration, security tab, and enabled it there?
[11:52] <grndslm> why isn't network-manager-gnome working with my intel-based laptop?  it just shows the button for "Wired Network"  but doesn't show any wireless networks...
[11:52] <Flannel> tscherno: er, Remote tab, i guess, in edgy.
[11:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> i think ur right with me needing to goto xubuntu
[11:53] <Gunslinger|Deags> but to do this i think i need to just reformat
[11:53] <whitesuit> Enverex, yeah, i would use gentoo too if i had a quad :)
[11:53] <Gunslinger|Deags> is there any reformating cd tools i can download somewhere?
[11:53] <jpatota> how do i tell which device is my sd-card reader. isnt it usually /dev/sda or something?
[11:53] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: the installer will reformat for you
[11:53] <riotkittie> grndslm: uhm, have you right or left clicked on the applet?
[11:53] <Gunslinger|Deags> for xubuntu?
[11:53] <tscherno> Flannel: Yeah, Remote Desktop... everything enabled
[11:53] <_t_m_b_> Say I have Debian installed and the GRUB bootloader installed, is it possible to install Ubuntu over Debian without messing up my system or bootloader?.. is there docs someone can point me to that would show how to do a smooth transition?
[11:53] <tscherno> Flannel: but i think thats VNC Server anyway
[11:54] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: not recommended
[11:54] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: actually - you can
[11:54] <TruthElixirX> adptr: it doesn't say anything about HDA1. Just a bunch of /stuff/things that I don't know what they mean...
[11:54] <Flannel> tscherno: no, that's XDMCP, or at least, from what Ive gathered from google.  Sorry,I haven't had a gUI since breezy ;)  configuration has changed since then.  You also enabled the stuff in the Login Screen Setup?
[11:54] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: as long as you do not retain any of the old install
[11:54] <Enverex> whitesuit, It wasn't just the compile times (btw, the ones that took the longest have to run at -j1 so even if you had 50 cores it would still take as long to compile) it was the breakages and the biggest issue was how the devs just didn't seem to care about anything
[11:55] <riotkittie> /stuff/things? /please/elaborate/on/stuff/things
[11:55] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: is your home a separate partition?
[11:55] <Flannel> tscherno: oh, um, have you restarted X since changing these?
[11:55] <_t_m_b_> I don't care if I have to remove grub, but I do need a bootloader to switch between windows and linux
[11:55] <gandalfcome> Does anyone have experience with the opensource radeon drivers and an xXXX ati card? please help
[11:55] <_t_m_b_> mnoir, no
[11:55] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: it doesn't say anything about HDA1. Just a bunch of /stuff/things that I don't know what they mean... (not sure if you got the last one since I misspelt your name...)
[11:55] <riotkittie> _t_m_b_: ubuntu will install grub
[11:55] <DARKGuy> greetings, I'm having some video issues here when running fullscreen programs (nVIDIA here). Anybody wants to lend a hand? to start, what log should I read? when I run the app, it just crashes the X server, so... ?
[11:55] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: win/ubu is no problem
[11:55] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok
[11:55] <tscherno> Flannel: Yes, but I think i got it know
[11:56] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: the problem is if you expect to "upgrade" debian to ubuntu.
[11:56] <grndslm> riotkittie:  i have done both, but I still don't see the option for wireless networks
[11:56] <Rocket_37> I'm having no luck mounting an NTFS partition
[11:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr i have 10 min on the cd image to download
[11:56] <riotkittie> DARKGuy: /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
[11:56] <tscherno> Flannel: I edited gdm-custom.conf, but it was still disabled in gdm.conf
[11:56] <kitche> DARKGuy: reinstall nvidia drives might work
[11:56] <Flannel> tscherno: interesting
[11:56] <whitesuit> Enverex, yeah, I hear you, i listened to a podcast with some gentoo devs and they pretty much said there's no real roadmap for it, they said each dev does his thing and when its ready it gets released..it's a lot of different people's projects put together
[11:56] <grndslm> Rocket_37:  mounting ntfs isn't such a great idea
[11:56] <_t_m_b_> No, I'm planning on removing debian and installing ubuntu where the ext3 partition is
[11:56] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: do you have things of value in home or elsewhere?
[11:56] <Rocket_37> grndslm: how come?
[11:56] <J-_> Do I have to install mozembed to my computer, or is it already installed?
[11:56] <DARKGuy> kitche: I shall try that later, gonna see if it's fixable or it's some issue here before reinstalling them
[11:56] <riotkittie> grndslm: ah :\  cant help you there, sorry. i still need to figure my own wireless out
[11:56] <stefg> !tfs-3g | Rocket_37
[11:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tfs-3g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:56] <_t_m_b_> not atm
[11:56] <tscherno> Flannel:I will now restart gdm to see if its working
[11:56] <stefg> !ntfs-3g | Rocket_37
[11:56] <ubotu> Rocket_37: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[11:57] <tscherno> Flannel: thx for the help
[11:57] <finalbeta> When saving a project in The Gimp? What extension/type should I save it as so I keep layers etc.
[11:57] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr i dont wanna disagree with u on the reformating thing but i dont think thats gonna work  i think i need some tool to reformat
[11:57] <mnoir> _t_m_b_: given your plan, you can install ubu very safely :)
[11:57] <kitche> DARKGuy: I just know how other people fixed their same problem
[11:57] <whitesuit> Enverex, and i couldnt deal with upgrading a major gcc version and have to do major recompilation of about everything
[11:57] <DARKGuy> riotkittie: AUDIT: Sun Jan 14 18:53:29 2007: 6471 X: client 1 rejected from local host <- that's what it says
[11:57] <Rocket_37> why is NTFS not a good thing to mount?
[11:57] <_t_m_b_> ok cool
[11:57] <DARKGuy> kitche: o.O interesting, well it might be worth a shot
[11:57] <stefg> !ntfs-3g | Rocket_37
[11:57] <_t_m_b_> thanks for the help
[11:57] <Rocket_37> !ntfs-3g
[11:57] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[11:58] <riotkittie> Rocket_37: mounting it is fine. reading it is fine. writing to it... the jury is still out on that but the drivers that permit it are still beta
[11:58] <riotkittie> and there's a risk of ... nastiness
[11:58] <Rocket_37> but I can't even read it
[11:58] <DARKGuy> It's weird too, messages.log shows "Jan 14 18:49:33 darkguy kernel: [17184758.268000]  NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded!" that can be fixed with a driver reinstall too? I have "Option "NVAGP" "1" " in my xorg.conf :/
[11:58] <Eroick> Where  can I get aticonfig
[11:58] <Enverex> whitesuit, Yeah. KDELibs, GCC, GLibC, GTK, etc all run with -j1 compile so they take forever
[11:58] <Rocket_37> I created a folder called /mnt/data
[11:58] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: I have no idea what you're talking about
[11:58] <riotkittie> you cant?  mount /dev/<dev> /mount/point
[11:59] <kitche> Rocket_37: mount -t ntfs /dev/dev/ /mnt/data should do it
[11:59] <stefg> DARKGuy: Do you run the stck kernel?
[11:59] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr ok im downloading the xubuntu cd right now like u thought originally but with the way that the ubuntu is now i cant just run the live cd and install can i?
[11:59] <Rocket_37> then tried to mount the partition using
[11:59] <Rocket_37> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data
[11:59] <Rocket_37> oh...
[11:59] <Rocket_37> I need to specify the file ssytem?
[11:59] <willytell> Wimpog, I've found a site that could be useful for you http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Partition.html
[11:59] <Rocket_37> file system
[11:59] <stefg> !fuse | Rocket_37
[11:59] <ubotu> Rocket_37: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:59] <needinfo> How do I troubleshoot my internet connection problem. I can ping myself, my router and my other computer on the router. I can not ping anything past my router. Using Xubuntu.
[11:59] <DARKGuy> stefg: The standard one you mean? I haven't recompiled my kernel, so I guess that's a yes
[11:59] <Wimpog> willytell: thanks, I'll check it out now
[11:59] <riotkittie> DARKGuy: im pretty clueless about nvidia issues, sorry :\
[12:00] <Rocket_37> !mount -t
[12:00] <ubotu> mount: Tools for mounting and manipulating filesystems. In component main, is required. Version 2.12r-11ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 179 kB, installed size 400 kB
[12:00] <riotkittie> Rocket_37: -t ntfs
[12:00] <willytell> Wimpog, it could be useful for me too ;)
[12:00] <DARKGuy> riotkittie: It's okay, thanks for trying to help though :)
[12:00] <Rocket_37> what's the "t" switch do?
[12:00] <Wimpog> willytell: wicked cool!
[12:00] <Steve_Laptop> hello all
[12:00] <riotkittie> t is Type
[12:00] <stefg> DARKGuy: ok then... if the nvidia-fb support is compiled in the kerenl, the 3D nvidia won't load... but that's not the case
[12:00] <willytell> Wimpog, yeah... check the "5. Partitioning with fdisk" secction.
[12:00] <kitche> needinfo: you trying to ping by domain?
[12:00] <riotkittie> -t ntfs , -t vfat, etc etc
