[12:01] <Rocket_37> interesting I didn't see any mention of the -t switch in the documentation I read
[12:01] <needinfo> kitche: I tried by name and number. Cant ping my ISP DNS.
[12:01] <Rocket_37> ok
[12:01] <Rocket_37> I'll tryi it
[12:01] <Rocket_37> try
[12:01] <DARKGuy> stefg: I see, but it's recommended that it uses NVAGP instead of AGPART or can I keep going like this?
[12:01] <mnoir> Rocket_37: if you type man mount in the terminal you will get full documentation on all the parameters
[12:01] <riotkittie> Rocket_37: which documentation did you read? its definitely in the manpages :P
[12:02] <Enverex> whitesuit, The sucky thing is that I didn't want to upgrade yet because I wanted to wait after all the quad core stuff is out and what's after that, but I bet my mobo is "just" out of warranty so I'll have to do something :(
[12:02] <stefg> DARKGuy: not sure what you mean... but if glxgears -printfps gets a reasonable result just leave it that way
[12:03] <Steve_Laptop> what is your 2 cents on having a /windows partition as a fat32 for backup only on a sever
[12:03] <DARKGuy> stefg: Okay, thanks for claryfing that up ^^
[12:04] <BenFP> is there a way to have webcam chats on ubuntu?
[12:04] <whitesuit> Enverex, :( well, if you werent having _any_ lock-ups with gentoo than it doesnt seem to be a hardware glitch, maybe it's the kernel with some bug related back to the hardware you're using..i wouldn't dump the hardware if another distribution works without problems on it
[12:04] <Rocket_37> still no luck mounting ntfs
[12:04] <Rocket_37> sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data1
[12:04] <riotkittie> Rocket_37: are you getting some kind of error message?
[12:04] <Rocket_37> nope
[12:04] <Enverex> whitesuit, yeah but it only seems to have started dying lately (the NB fan keeps cutting out entirely)
[12:04] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Confused. Can't locate install log.
[12:04] <riotkittie> and ls /mnt/data1 is empty ?
[12:05] <Rocket_37> right
[12:05] <DARKGuy> kitche: you were right, driver reinstall did it, thanks! :D
[12:05] <dredhammer> hello has anyone got xmame working in edgy? launching via terminal or from frontend results in a black screen that requires a gnome restart
[12:05] <riotkittie> err shows nothing, rather. hm.
[12:05] <Rocket_37> File Browser shows a red X
[12:06] <Rocket_37> on the data1 folder
[12:06] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: is hda1 mounted ?
[12:06] <DARKGuy> Now another problem... Umm, okay, I ran my 640x480 app, but I can't go back to 1024x768! :/ <control><alt>+ or - don't work, is there a way to restore resolution without restarting the X server? (I'm using IceWM, but there must be a terminal/command way right?)
[12:06] <Rocket_37> which contains nothing
[12:06] <riotkittie> Rocket_37: are you prefixing yer mount command with "sudo" ?
[12:06] <Rocket_37> yes
[12:06] <mnoir> Rocket_37: you know it is a good ntfs partition?
[12:06] <willytell> Wimpog, keep in mind you'll need be root in orden to take effect some commands.
[12:06] <BenFP> is there a way to have webcam chats on ubuntu like on gaim or something like that??
[12:06] <Dave-Ubuntu> Rocket_37:  is there data on the NTFS drive ?
[12:06] <mirak> how can I know wich module drives a pci card ?
[12:06] <adaptr> Rocket_37: you need ot fix the permissions on the partition
[12:07] <bruenig> !webcam
[12:07] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[12:07] <Eroick> how do I get composite out to work in X on a ATI Rage card?
[12:07] <Jon12> flannel: the ubuntu pastbin wasn't working so here is another one: http://pastebin.com/859371
[12:07] <Rocket_37> it's my data drive
[12:07] <Rocket_37> it works fine
[12:07] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Open up terminal, type mount, and it should tell me right? It doesn't say anything about hda1 id I do that
[12:07] <gandalfcome> Does anyone have experience with the opensource radeon drivers and an xXXX ati card? please help
[12:07] <Rocket_37> adaptr: permissions on the partition?
[12:07] <riotkittie> BenFP: gaim doesnt support cams. i think there are other apps taht do but i am not sure what they ar e
[12:07] <BenFP> thank you bruenig
[12:07] <DARKGuy> Nevermind I found it, xvidtune -next
[12:07] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: then it is not mounted; you 'll have to do that again: mkdir /media/hda1 (unless it exists), mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1
[12:08] <BenFP> thank you riotkittie
[12:08] <sleepy742> what software do I need to watch youtube videos?
[12:08] <DARKGuy> sleepy742: Flash player
[12:08] <stefg> !flash9 | sleepy742
[12:08] <ubotu> sleepy742: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[12:08] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok adaptr i have downloaded xubuntu now how do i get ubuntu off ofthere just burn this image to a cd throw it in there and restart?
[12:08] <riotkittie> are the open source drivers better than the ATI released drivers?
[12:08] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: that's the easiest way, yes
[12:08] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok ill try that first then
[12:08] <Gunslinger|Deags> let me burn this cd image
[12:08] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: okay. Mounted...
[12:08] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: but xubuntu is no different than ubuntu on the inside
[12:09] <Rocket_37> how do I change permissions?
[12:09] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: okay, now you should be able to find /media/hda1/var/log/installer
[12:09] <Rocket_37> !permission
[12:09] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[12:09] <DARKGuy> Thanks for the help guys :)
[12:09] <J-_> !mozembed
[12:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> thats ok i just want to reinstall this and with the lighting of the minimal requirements it should run better right
[12:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mozembed - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:09] <sleepy742> !backports
[12:09] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[12:09] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: okay... really BIG n00b question.. how do I open a file manager....
[12:09] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: not really.. it needs to run *at all*, first
[12:09] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: why would you need one
[12:09] <bruenig> TruthElixirX, places>home folder is one way
[12:10] <riotkittie> reinstalling seems silly.
[12:10] <bruenig> TruthElixirX, or you can open a terminal and run nautilus
[12:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> hmm then what do u suggest i do?
[12:10] <grndslm> anybody gotten ipw3945 to work with dapper???
[12:10] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: wouldn't I need to to view the log?
[12:10] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: well, I would put in the normal Ubuntu LiveCD and when that has finished booting, look closely through all system logs for clues what happened that might cause problems after the installation
[12:10] <Jon12> rocket_37: this might also help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VolumePermissions?highlight=%28permissions%29
[12:10] <riotkittie> and from what i have seen, xubuntu - or the xfce implementation in dapper - does not really preform better than ubuntu - or the ubuntu implementation of gnome
[12:11] <Steve_Laptop> dumb ? what is your 2 cents on having a /windows partition as a fat32 for backup only on a sever
[12:11] <h3xis> grndslm, i did
[12:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok one second
[12:11] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: less /media/hda1/var/log/installer/syslog
[12:11] <grndslm> h3xis:  i actually meant edgy...but, how'd you do it?
[12:11] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: or run nautilus on the dirctory, indeed
[12:11] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: wow. Okay. That worked. What am I looking for?
[12:11] <h3xis> grndslm, what do you mean? it detected it by itself out of the box
[12:11] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: although nautilus - nasty
[12:12] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: grep for grub :)
[12:12] <mnoir> Steve_Laptop: for backing up win machines? - it's fine :)
[12:12] <stefg> Steve_Laptop: why would you want a file system which can't have files >4gb as backup partition?
[12:12] <Rocket_37> on a different note, is FAT32 the most widely compatible FS between Linux and Windows?
[12:12] <Gunslinger|Deags> it i inserted the cd
[12:12] <h3xis> Rocket_37, yes
[12:12] <Gunslinger|Deags> and its trying to boot
[12:12] <riotkittie> Rocket_37: yes
[12:12] <grndslm> h3xis:  not me...i can't get network-manager-gnome to display ANY wireless networks...when i click on it, it only gives me "Wired Network" as an option
[12:12] <adaptr> Rocket_37: it's prettyt much the *only* one....
[12:12] <h3xis> grndslm, have you done anything? is this a fresh install?
[12:12] <Rocket_37> man, if only people learned that sharing is a good thing...
[12:12] <mnoir> Rocket_37: fat32 FTW cuz you can write to it
[12:13] <grndslm> h3xis:  yea, fresh install
[12:13] <Rocket_37> FTW?
[12:13] <mnoir> for the win
[12:13] <Rocket_37> heh
[12:13] <Rocket_37> ok
[12:13] <grndslm> h3xis:  i have a feeling it's gonna do the same thing if i started over
[12:13] <h3xis> grndslm, what kind of comp
[12:13] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I found some stuff. It says its already installed.
[12:13] <grndslm> h3xis:  Asus Z35F
[12:13] <Rocket_37> is there any way to set GAIM to pop up a tray notification when someone logs in?
[12:13] <subzero800> how to i cd to my desktop?
[12:13] <h3xis> Rocket_37, yes it's called buddy pounce
[12:13] <Rocket_37> ok
[12:13] <riotkittie> cd ~/Desktop
[12:14] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: yers.. that would be because the installer doesn't actually remove the MBR when you re-install :)
[12:14] <mnoir> subzero800: it is a folder in yer home dir
[12:14] <Steve_Laptop> stefg 4gb? I fave a 60g drive as a fat32, so what your saying is linux wont see it? sorry you lost me...
[12:14] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: so it did not install it this time, either... that may be what happened the last time
[12:14] <h3xis> grndslm, well... that's kind of weird to be honest :/ is it even being detected?
[12:14] <mnoir> Steve_Laptop: no worries - fat32 file size limit is 4 gb
[12:14] <daxxar> Rocket_37: Also, try http://gaim.guifications.org/trac/wiki/Guifications
[12:14] <grndslm> h3xis:  yup, it's detected, but the nm-applet doesn't work well with it or somethin'
[12:14] <Rocket_37> cool, thanks
[12:15] <mnoir> Steve_Laptop: sorry - overactive auto complete
[12:15] <Steve_Laptop> ic
[12:15] <Rocket_37> is there any way to do it globally, and not per-buddy?
[12:15] <sleepy742> what commands to type to get flash 9?
[12:15] <mnoir> i meant no
[12:15] <lg8> don't know
[12:15] <kitche> !flash9
[12:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> err this is so darn frustrating now the cd wont boot it for hung at setting up locales...
[12:15] <ubotu> flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[12:15] <h3xis> grndslm, when i used it it worked fine. is it eth1?
[12:15] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: still, I would now try to run grub yourself manually again, and see what happens
[12:15] <Steve_Laptop> hay i do it tooo :)
[12:15] <Rocket_37> also, what's the keyboard shortcut for switching workspaces?
[12:15] <grndslm> h3xis:  i installed opensuse and it worked outta the box, but ubuntu is being a lil' problematic with this machine
[12:15] <kitche> sleepy742: you need to use backports to get flash9
[12:15] <tomasso_> why when i wanna run an executable file doing ./ I get:No such file or directory? permissions seem to be ok
[12:15] <grndslm> h3xis:  yea....what does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like?
[12:15] <Jon12> !backports
[12:15] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[12:15] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: just "sudo -i" then "grub"?
[12:15] <Rocket_37> !workspace
[12:16] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: uh ? no.. just run sudo grub
[12:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about workspace - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:16] <stefg> Steve_Laptop: no... a *single* file on fat32 cant be bigger than 4 GB... fragmentation and the waste of space when running a partition bigger than 32 GB on fat32 are arguments to look for another solution
[12:16] <riotkittie> has flash 9 moved beyond the beta stage yet?
[12:16] <bruenig> sleepy742, wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[12:16] <h3xis> grndslm, well im on windows atm so i cant check :/
[12:16] <Rocket_37> !shortcut
[12:16] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[12:16] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: okay. Grub open.
[12:16] <h3xis> grndslm, try sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[12:16] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr ok well now whenb booting the live cd its hung at settings up locales
[12:16] <bruenig> riotkittie, it is in beta 2
[12:16] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: what did it say while starting ?
[12:17] <sleepy742> bruenig, will that work for kubuntu?
[12:17] <Rocket_37> never mind... found it
[12:17] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: sounds suspicuously like a real hardware problem you have there
[12:17] <bruenig> sleepy742, yes
[12:17] <riotkittie> bruenig: ah :)
[12:17] <TruthElixirX> adaptr:     GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[12:17] <bruenig> sleepy742, if you get any errors, do sudo apt-get -f install
[12:17] <grndslm> h3xis:  eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[12:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr the hardware all works fine cause i had windows me on it right before xmas
[12:17] <Rocket_37> ok, I'm still unsure about how to change permissions on this partition
[12:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> i have to go eat ill be back my parents are raging
[12:17] <h3xis> grndslm, could be an issue...
[12:17] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: yes, that's what you have above the screen *now*.. but when it starts it says " trying to detect BIOS drives... this may take a long time" - did you see that ?
[12:18] <mnoir> Gunslinger|Deags: linux can stress hardware in different ways.
[12:18] <h3xis> grndslm, try sudo dhclient eth1
[12:18] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: you say ubuntu also worked fine until you opened it today, so that is a null argument
[12:18] <gandalfcome> Does anyone have experience with the opensource radeon drivers and an xXXX ati card? please help
[12:18] <Jon12> rocket_37: what are you trying to do?
[12:18] <Steve_Laptop> stefg, "O" ic then it looks like I will use samba I was just being lasy
[12:18] <grndslm> h3xis:  eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[12:18] <grndslm> eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[12:18] <grndslm> Bind socket to interface: No such device

[12:18] <tiolpxe> hi where is ubuntu's file that configures tcp services at bootup
[12:18] <Rocket_37> jon12: I'm attempting to mount an NTFS partition but when I do, the mount point remains empty
[12:19] <h3xis> grndslm, well, why did you switch to ubuntu if it worked in suse?
[12:19] <Rocket_37> my syntax seems correct
[12:19] <Enverex> Does anyone know why when I plug my USB device in when running VMWare that it doesn't seem to notice I've plugged anything in?
[12:19] <grndslm> i was just trying suse out to see how 10.2 looked, but ubuntu is my preferred OS
[12:19] <stefg> tiolpxe: /etc/network/interfaces
[12:19] <Rocket_37> adaptr said it has to do with permissions
[12:20] <grndslm> h3xis:  I'm gonna try to reinstall, and if that doesn't work...i'll have to go back to suse i guess
[12:20] <tomasso_> why when i wanna run an executable file doing ./ I get:No such file or directory? permissions seem to be ok
[12:20] <tiolpxe> stefg so it doesnt use inetd?
[12:20] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: yes
[12:20] <h3xis> grndslm, okay. really, if i knew what the problem was i'd help. i have a thinkpad and i installed edgy on it maybe 3 months ago and it just worked
[12:20] <Jon12> rocket_37: okay that's not something i'm familiar with sorry
[12:20] <sleepy742> bruen, right now I have just Konquerer for web, will i need to install flash again if i install firefox?
[12:20] <bruenig> tomasso, are you spelling the name of the file right
[12:21] <tomasso_> bruenig: yep
[12:21] <grndslm> h3xis:  well, thanks for the help...lata
[12:21] <bruenig> tomasso, does putting the whole path to the file work
[12:21] <Rocket_37> jon12: np
[12:21] <bruenig> sleepy742, can't be positive on that since I have never been in that position, but I would think probably not
[12:21] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: so what happens when you type "root (hd" and press TAB ?
[12:21] <tomasso_> im on the file's directory
[12:21] <fokuslee> Rocket_37:  whats ur command?
[12:21] <mnoir> tomasso_: './' is not anything that can execute   it is your current directory
[12:21] <bruenig> tomasso, does putting the whole path to the file work
[12:21] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: same thing "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist"
[12:21] <tomasso_> i do ./skype
[12:22] <tomasso_> le me chech
[12:22] <ubuntu__> heyu
[12:22] <stefg> tiolpxe: inetd is a *server* daemon, and no tinstalled by default. if you just want to mess with your IP settings from the cmmand line then /etc/network/interfaces is the file to edit (smartly, i might add)
[12:22] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: GRUB really doesn't like your disk, then; are you sure you ran grub with sudo ?
[12:22] <ubuntu__> i instaleed the new Ubuntu 7

[12:34] <bucketfan99> thanks again bro
[12:34] <x_> Could someone help me out with getting my ati drivers installed properly?
[12:34] <webben> stefg, Perhaps I don't mean symlinks. I'm talking about when Nautilus puts a giant arrow over something, tells you it's pointing to something else, but offers no way to get to it.
[12:34] <webben> no /obvious/ way
[12:34] <webben> stefg, I don't quite see what's odd about following symlinks anyhow.
[12:34] <mnoir> tomasso_: i'm starin at it and i am not seeing the problem.
[12:34] <webben> stefg, I do it all the time with ls -al
[12:34] <stefg> webben: permission problems, or a dead link, pointing to nowhere

[12:35] <[set] > Hey guys, If i installed ubuntu and then after windows on a seperate partition.. windows takes over the mbr thus grub won't boot.. right now im in ubuntu live cd.. anyone know how to set it up so ubuntu could take over the MBR?
[12:35] <mnoir> tomasso_: try this:  mv sk<tab> skype             -- the tab should autocomplete
[12:35] <bruenig> !grub | [set] 
[12:35] <ubotu> [set] : 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
[12:36] <tomasso_> mnoir: the autocomplete works :D
[12:36] <[set] > do i just reinstall grub or what?
[12:36] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I am wondering if you're looking at those logs now, or waiting. It really doesn't matter to me (well, quicker is always nicer, but you're volunteering and I thank you very much for it.). I'm just curious if you're looking right now. If not I'm going to slip off for about.. 30 minutes. If not I don't need to leave and can stil be here
[12:36] <mnoir> tomasso_: this is hacking - there is sumpin subtle here :)
[12:36] <bruenig> [set] , follow ubotu's link
[12:36] <tomasso_> so the skype file exists
[12:36] <steelb> what is the difference between the "generic" ubuntu kernel and the one not labeled generic?
[12:36] <mnoir> tomasso_: but two different commands could not find it
[12:36] <tomasso_> gonna try downloading skype again but from the tar.gz now, and not the tar.bz2
[12:36] <bruenig> tomasso_, what does it say when you do "file skype"
[12:36] <x_> could i get a hand getting my ati drivers workign properly; OpenGL apps run really slow
[12:37] <tomasso_> bruenig: skype: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, stripped
[12:37] <kitche> x_: what does glxinfo|grep rendering say
[12:37] <bruenig> tomasso_, you may not have the right dependencies to run skype, that is the only thing that makes sense
[12:37] <x_> direct rendering is off
[12:37] <tomasso_> ups im on a 64 bit computer
[12:37] <mnoir> tomasso_: let me knowhow it goes.  btw - ya should put it in /opt - that is the std loc for local optional things
[12:37] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: hda: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
[12:37] <tomasso_> bruenig: downloaded static
[12:37] <PORDO> does edgy use xkb or xmodmap?
[12:37] <ubuntu__> stefg thanks man for the adduser
[12:37] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: that is not usual - it indicates hardware trouble with either the interface or the disk drive
[12:38] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: those errors show up just before a drive tanks, as well :(
[12:38] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I'm betting the interface is bad, as I just boguht this HDD to repalce an HDD that crashed
[12:38] <kitche> x_: your running fglrx correct?
[12:38] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: how old is the drive ?
[12:38] <x_> yes
[12:38] <adaptr> hmm and th eboard ?
[12:38] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: HDD is brand new. Got it like.. last saturday. Yeah. Exactly a week old
[12:38] <adaptr> what mainboard ?
[12:38] <steelb> what is the difference between the "generic" ubuntu kernel and the one not labeled generic?
[12:38] <x_> i've installed the drivers using apt-get install
[12:38] <bruenig> generic is better
[12:38] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: the mobo is 5 years old or so
[12:38] <x_> and i set the driver to fglrx in xorg.conf
[12:38] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: have you tried a new cable ? you'll be hitting yourself if that's it...
[12:39] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: it has happened to me
[12:39] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: yes, a bad cable may indeed look like a crashing HD
[12:39] <Music_Shuffle> !generic
[12:39] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[12:39] <[set] > thx
[12:39] <[set] > fixed
[12:39] <kitche> x_: ok hmm fglrx needs an extra step to get direct rendering going this page should help you

[12:39] <x_> k
[12:39] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: can you paste the output of lspci for that board ?
[12:39] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I have not. Let me go get a new cable (new HDD came with one, I just didn't use it) and try that out.
[12:40] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: lspci board?
[12:40] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: and are you sure you'r enot overclokcing that Nforce2 ? :)
[12:40] <wick2o> is there an easy way to remove unwanted locals?
[12:40] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: yes, lspci
[12:40] <wick2o> other then rm /usr/share/local/af
[12:40] <wick2o> or rather a "ubuntu" way of doing it?
[12:40] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: this one is also very suggestive: NFORCE2: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
[12:40] <x_> @kitche thanks
[12:41] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: I've NEVER seen that, and I do have an Nforce2 board in this very machine
[12:41] <Shuttt> bsr tlm
[12:41] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: What is the lspci and how can I get its input? And Nforce2? Is that the integrated GFX card? I have an ATi Video card in there. 9600 XT
[12:41] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: you have an nforce2 mainboard, and lspci is a command.. you run it
[12:42] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: doing now.
[12:43] <Rocket_37> Fokuslee: I'm here
[12:43] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1627/
[12:43] <needinfo> With Xubuntu, when I ping my WinXP machine at 192.168.1.100 everthing is OK. When I ping 216.37.54.22 the message is "Network is unreachable".  How do I troubleshoot this?
[12:43] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: okay, my bad - the nforce2 always sets the cable bits incorrectly :)
[12:43] <steelb> someone gave me a link with information about the generic ubuntu kernel a minute ago. could you send the link again please?
[12:43] <Rocket_37> focuslee: I'm back
[12:43] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: Thats good news.. right?
[12:43] <tomasso_> whats the name of the package that provides 32 bit linux emulation for 62 bit processors ?
[12:43] <Flannel> needinfo: er, what's 216.37.54.22?
[12:44] <Flannel> !chroot | tomasso_
[12:44] <ubotu> tomasso_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[12:44] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: so should I replace that cable now?
[12:44] <Flannel> steelb: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html
[12:44] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: but you said that the drive is a SATA ? where is that, then ?
[12:44] <tomasso_> ubotu: Oks!
[12:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Oks! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:44] <Gosha> what is "LILO"?
[12:44] <Gosha> !lilo
[12:44] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: in a minute... I'd like to probe this
[12:44] <Flannel> Jon12: that pastebin doesn't work.
[12:44] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[12:44] <needinfo> Flannel:  That is the address for ori.net. I can't reach it by name so I tried the IP.
[12:45] <Gosha> ah, i see
[12:45] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I think its SATA. SATA is the long wide ribbon type cable?
[12:45] <Gosha> !gcc
[12:45] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:45] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: erm.. no.... Serial ATA - long, thin cable
[12:45] <ubuntu__> hey i have Ubuntu 7
[12:45] <Sabrex> anyone want to help an ubuntu newbie who cant seem to get grub to install?
[12:45] <ubuntu__> and i more fast
[12:45] <needinfo> Flannel: I am trying to get connected to the net. Not much success so far.
[12:45] <Flannel> needinfo: no, that IP isn't up right now.
[12:45] <TruthElixirX> Oh then... no.. It is the wide gray ribbon type cable...
[12:45] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: have you used a proper 80-core cable ?
[12:46] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: the one that was used for the old HDD, and they're the same size and fit and such
[12:46] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: that's not what I asked.. how many wires does it have, 40 or 80 ?
[12:46] <ubuntu__> !640x480
[12:46] <Jon12> flannel: okay it worked this time http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1629/
[12:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 640x480 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:47] <vinicius> brazilians???
[12:47] <ubuntu__> now one problem.One friend have computer with 128mb ram
[12:47] <adaptr> the 80 core cables are less flexible, and obviously have less wires, but that's not always easy to see when you only have one available :)
[12:47] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: No idea. Anyway to check?
[12:47] <needinfo> Flannel: It pings from my end. It is my ISP. Maybe pings are OK from inside but not from outside?
[12:47] <ubuntu__> can he install Ubuntu
[12:47] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: open the box :)
[12:47] <TruthElixirX> its open
[12:47] <mirak> how can I know the settings of a running module ?
[12:47] <bruenig> ubuntu__, I would use xubuntu
[12:47] <adaptr> then look at the cable, do some smart guessing
[12:47] <Flannel> Jon12: You'd be fine to upgrade, you have nothing but official repositories.
[12:47] <ubuntu__> Why Xubuntu
[12:47] <Flannel> !upgrade | Jon12
[12:47] <ubotu> Jon12: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:47] <ubuntu__> Man i;m go glad that someone reply
[12:48] <bruenig> ubuntu__, it is for lower end computers
[12:48] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I just counted. 40.
[12:48] <ubuntu__> bruenig man but what is the difference
[12:48] <bruenig> ubuntu__, again if you would put all your stuff on one line, people would probably reply more, it is hard to follow 3 or 4 lines of stuff
[12:48] <Flannel> ubuntu__: you'll need to use the alternate CD, regardless of the desktop environment you end up using
[12:48] <ubuntu__> bruenig with two word .
[12:48] <bruenig> ubuntu__, one uses gnome and one uses xfce
[12:48] <Jon12> flannel: thank you very much, i'll give it a shot, i have a copy on cd just incase
[12:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: was the old HD a really old one, or also relatively new ? what are the sizes ?
[12:48] <mirak> how can I know the settings of a running module ?
[12:48] <bruenig> ubuntu__, and there are some different apps by default but you can always add and remove apps
[12:48] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: you *must* use an 80-core ribbon to be able to use DMA with a newer drive
[12:49] <ubuntu__> bruenig man hmmm he don't know ubuntu
[12:49] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: it came with the computer. ~5 years old. Old one was 120 gigs, two partitions. NTFS was 100 gigs and FAT32 was 20. New HDD is 250 gigs.
[12:49] <adaptr> mirak: in /sys or /proc somewhere
[12:49] <ubuntu__> bruenig man i told him about ubuntu Gnome
[12:49] <ubuntu__> brueing he want some gui like Windows
[12:49] <bruenig> ubuntu__, kde is most windows like
[12:49] <Flannel> ubuntu__: gnome is a GUI
[12:49] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: what is DMA? I don't recall that acronym.
[12:49] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: then it was a horribly wrong cable for the drive :) please use the new cable, especially if that has 80 wires
[12:49] <ubuntu__> FLannel but he have 128 mb ram
[12:50] <bruenig> ubuntu__, xfce is GUI
[12:50] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: oh I probably know dozens more you''ve never heard of :)
[12:50] <ubuntu__> bruenig hmmm someone told me that xfce is gui but not like WIndows
[12:50] <Flannel> ubuntu__: kde and xfce are also all GUIs.  You'll need to use the alternate CD to install though, not the Desktop CD
[12:50] <bruenig> ubuntu__, here is a screenshot of my pitiful xfce desktop, http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m290/bruenig/12182006.png
[12:50] <ubuntu__> Flannel ok from where i can install it
[12:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok i am have returned from my meal adaptr are you still around?
[12:51] <adaptr> bruenig: well, you run utorrent.. that's really all that matters :)
[12:51] <adaptr> !seen adaptr
[12:51] <ubotu> adaptr is on IRC right now!
[12:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> lol
[12:51] <Flannel> ubuntu__: http://xubuntu.com/get  make sure you get the Alternate CD
[12:51] <adaptr> so erm.. that would be yes
[12:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok do u stil remmeber my problems?
[12:51] <ubuntu__> FLanelll ok man i will see it
[12:51] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: the hardware ones, right ? always the best problems :)
[12:52] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: new cable that came with HDD is 40 old cable is 40 as well
[12:52] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: how did you count that ?
[12:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> i really dont think its hardware
[12:52] <ubuntu__> bruenig thanks man
[12:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> seriously it worked fine before i installed ubuntu and iteven worked fine after
[12:53] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: yes.. so you've now established that it's not your hardware and it;s not ubuntu.. does that get you anywhere ?
[12:53] <Gunslinger|Deags> i think ti is ubuntu
[12:53] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: I counted the number of holes on the connector. They are in rows of two. I counted by twos. Not a good way t oget the number?
[12:53] <nikolai> can someone help me with configuring xserver
[12:54] <ubuntu__> i put it to download
[12:54] <nikolai> i've run dpkg-reconfigure and i keep getting error message no device
[12:55] <Gunslinger|Deags> adaptr when did we figure out that it was not ubuntu
[12:55] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: since I can;t do that on the one that the HDD is plugged into now, I counted the number of holes on the slave plug in, which was 39, but I'm going to assume it was one off due to being slave or something
[12:55] <factboy818181> hi, i'm trying to print something on my printer, but it keeps on hanging...
[12:55] <ramvi> I there! I'm doing some xmodmaps. Ex: xmodmap -e 'keycode 51 = at asterisk'. They all work but one; xmodmap -e 'keycode 115 = Pointer_Button3'. Why?
[12:55] <Rob002> !lamp
[12:55] <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+)
[12:55] <Gunslinger|Deags> u just all of the sudden said hey its ur hardware and i didnt understand why or what u were meaning
[12:56] <nikolai> /var/log/Xorg.0.conf came back with (II) primary device is :pci 00:02:0 (EE) no devices detected
[12:56] <nikolai> how do i fix it?
[12:56] <Moosejaw> man...i justscrewed up my system royally i think...
[12:57] <Gunslinger|Deags> this is so darn confusing and i have intermediate knowledge of computers
[12:57] <Moosejaw> i need to reinstall wpasupplicant, but it wont let me...giving me an error...and now when i open up synaptic manager it doesnt even list any installed packages...
[12:57] <PwndMopar> Where is Sources.list located?
[12:57] <Moosejaw> please help
[12:57] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: because you said so ? "it worked fine after I installed ubuntu"
[12:57] <Flannel> PwndMopar: /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:57] <Gunslinger|Deags> it did
[12:57] <Gunslinger|Deags> but not it doesnt
[12:57] <Sabrex> man this ubuntu installer is giving me such a hard time
[12:57] <PwndMopar> Thanks flannel
[12:58] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: that does *not* give you the number of wires in the cable.. there are always 40 pins, I already knew that without you telling me :)
[12:58] <Gunslinger|Deags> but that automatically means its hardware and not a ubuntu fluke or messup?
[12:58] <factboy818181> can anyone tell me what this means in the CUPS error log: No %%BoundingBox: comment in header!
[12:58] <Slart> I can't get my midi softsynth working (I'm using an SB audigy2 on Ubuntu 6.10). Any tips on where to look?
[12:58] <belkin> hi all
[12:58] <Gunslinger|Deags> i had to get help in here when i installed it the first time because it kept stoping
[12:58] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: damn. Okay. So... I'm not sure. Count the wires?...lol... God
[12:58] <Sabrex> it says that i cant use XFS for /boot, but i have /boot set to mount /dev/hdb1 which i partitioned as ext3
[12:58] <adaptr> Gunslinger|Deags: if it were a "messup", then you should be able to point to it, and reproduce it
[12:59] <Rocket_37> adaptr: does a partition have to be mounted before I can change its permissions?
[12:59] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: no need; like I said, the 80-core ribbon is stronger, less flexible, and will stay the way you bend it - try that with the new one and I guarantee you'll see what I mean
[12:59] <Gunslinger|Deags> well ionno what to tell u all i know is i had problems on this pc with ubuntu before and they were supodidly fixed and now im having the same ones again and i dont believe it to be a hardware issue because windows me worked fine 2 weeks ago
[12:59] <adaptr> Rocket_37: yers
[12:59] <PwndMopar> bash: WTFRUSAYING?: command not found
[01:00] <adaptr> TruthElixirX: either which way, yes - you really should swap them
[01:00] <Rocket_37> adaptr: so in my case, where the partition is mounted but the mount point is empty, how do I change the permissions?
[01:00] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: yes it does that. Okay. I'll sap them
[01:00] <TruthElixirX> brb
[01:00] <belkin> while trying to run " sudo gedit /file " i get this error "" GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed ""  how do i fix it ?
[01:00] <Gunslinger|Deags> i personally think it could be fixed by reformating prior to attempting to install with xubuntu but i do not know how to do that without a windows disk that i do not have
[01:01] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: the xubuntu disk can reformat.  in fact, to install xubuntu, you will reformat
[01:01] <adaptr> Rocket_37: when the partition is empty (I assume it is really empty, too ?) just change the permissoions *on* the directory itself - it;s not really intuitive, but that'll change the permissios of the root directory of the partition, not the permissions of the mount point, since that is now unreachable
[01:01] <Gunslinger|Deags> thats what i keep being told but when i try to use my ubuntu disk it just freezes
[01:01] <Rocket_37> the partition is actually not empty
[01:01] <Rocket_37> does that matter?
[01:01] <PwndMopar> Flannel, a normal cd /ect/apt/ isn't going to get you anywhere, is it?
[01:01] <adaptr> Rocket_37: but if you mount it there are no files ?
[01:01] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: grab an alternate CD, its more robust
[01:02] <Flannel> PwndMopar: er... etc not ect
[01:02] <keddvan> Hello! Erotic site --> http://xuk.fw.hu
[01:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> well will i have a gui if i install from the alternate cd?
[01:02] <PwndMopar> Flannel, that's what I mean :P
[01:02] <adaptr> hi, banned !
[01:02] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: you'll have a GUI once you're installed, but no GUI when installing
[01:02] <PwndMopar> Flannel, nevermind XD
[01:03] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok lemme ask u this then flannel is it possible to do a install off the internet for xubuntu and use a flash drive?
[01:03] <auTONYmous> general question: Is Ubuntu the only distro that uses sudo by default?
[01:03] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: if your computer can boot to a flash drive, sure.  What are you trying to accomplish?  You can also use a minimal CD, which is just the installer (8mb), and downloads all the packages from the internet
[01:04] <Sabrex> anyone know why the installer is telling me that i cant use XFS for /boot when i have a special ext3 partition for /boot?
[01:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> well i only have 1 cd to burn to
[01:04] <Rocket_37> adaptr: I can't enter the mount directory
[01:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> do if that messes up im in trouble lol
[01:04] <Rocket_37> by way of command prompt
[01:04] <adaptr> Rocket_37: can you list it ?
[01:04] <Rocket_37> how?

But when I try to access it from my windows computer it is asking for a username / password and my default account login isnt working. Is there something I can do.
[01:25] <Taime1> i actually dont know, but that would make sense
[01:25] <tonyyarusso> koert: wget and httrack are worth considering, not sure how with the latter.
[01:26] <Daemonic> I'm in windows about to burn the ubuntu iso to a cd but I need a couple packages to add to the iso first.. where can I download them? I need bcm-fwcutter specificly.. everything I search for tells me to use synaptic or whatever..
[01:26] <Rocket_37> mnoir, yeah, I got that part... no it won't let me in. In fact, when I try cd prefixed with sudo, I get
[01:26] <Rocket_37> sudo: cd: command not found
[01:26] <Taime1> what should i NOT do (inorder to NOT break the law) to get my .wma DRM protected files to play?
[01:27] <stefg> Taime1: you should Not
[01:27] <gnomenoob> can someone help me with a solution for gnome locking up on startup? please?
[01:27] <stefg> Taime1: analog copy... only way
[01:28] <GaryBusey> For Windows XP, what's the command when booting up to boot from the DVD-ROM drive to load the Live CD?
[01:28] <mnoir> Rocket_37: ok - i am going to have you use sudo in a less recommended way - to actually become root rather than just temporaqrily.  please go veeery slowly and ask if you do not understand before doing

[01:28] <mnoir> Rocket_37: type sudo -i
[01:28] <Taime1> well poop
[01:28] <Rocket_37> BTW, how do I change the terminal window to w/o/b
[01:29] <mnoir> Rocket_37: w/o/b ??
[01:29] <jrib> GaryBusey: are you trying to load the ubuntu live cd?

[01:29] <koert> tonyyarusso: so if i for instance want to download all the *.txt files from a site, WGet can do it?
[01:29] <Taime1> what if i were to take these wma files to my windows computer at work, then save them as mp3 files, surely there isnt anything wrong with that??
[01:29] <Rocket_37> got it
[01:29] <Rocket_37> colors set
[01:30] <Rocket_37> ok, let's move on. :)
[01:30] <stefg> Taime1: try vlc... if it cant play it, then you have to burn in win and re-rip in linux

[01:30] <mnoir> Rocket_37: ok - is the prompt a # now?
[01:30] <jrib> Taime1: of course there is, what would be the point of having drm on the wma files then?
[01:30] <gnomenoob> can someone help me with a solution for gnome locking up on startup?
[01:30] <tonyyarusso> koert: It's possible.  I think it requires the directory listing option to be enabled in the apache configuration, but if so, most likely yes.
[01:30] <willytell> !tell willytell about webcam
[01:30] <Pie-rate> Is there anyone here who can help with my sound problem? I've ruled out hardware issues with a live cd.
[01:30] <Rocket_37> yeah
[01:30] <Rocket_37> the prompt is now root@ubuntu~#
[01:30] <Taime1> im sorry, i guess, then , i dont fully understand the DRM
[01:30] <mnoir> Rocket_37: type cd /thecorrect mountpoint
[01:31] <Taime1> but i can tell by y'alls' tone, that it just shouldnt be done
[01:31] <Rocket_37> I'm in

[01:31] <jrib> Taime1: think about it.  You distribute content in a format that doesn't allow users to play it except when you want them to.  Does it make sense for you to say, "hey, you know what, if you want to, just copy it to an mp3 and do what you want with it."
[01:31] <mnoir> Rocket_37: yes - you still have a perms issue but we know it is there.....
[01:31] <Rocket_37> ok
[01:32] <needinfo> Am stumped. I can't get help here, so are there any other chat or websites that I could find help on connecting Xubuntu to the internet? Please, any suggestions greatly appreciated. Have many, many hours invested in net research but can't find answers that solve this. Probalby is simple to someone with experience, I just can't stumble on  the answer!
[01:32] <Rocket_37> just for the record, now, in the file browser I still cannot view the directory
[01:32] <Pie-rate> Is there any way to COMPLETELY clear out everything to do with sound and reinstall it?
[01:32] <mnoir> adaptr: what perms should Rocket_37 set for his properly mounted ntfs part so users can access it?

[01:39] <Wimpog> GUYS, I've CREATED separate partitions for /, /var, /tmp, /usr. My QUESTION IS NOW how do I move these directories into the partitions I've created for them???
[01:39] <juano> gnomenoob: what seems to be the problem?
[01:40] <Rocket_37> mnoir: there's no line for data1
[01:40] <LookTj> Hi
[01:40] <riotkittie> dpkg-reconfigure will reconfigure xorg ... you'll be able to select resolutions there
[01:40] <Dasnipa`> Wimpog, you should have a place to choose their mount point
[01:40] <phixnay> I'm trying to install compiz on nVidia, and AMD 64. Last time I tried, x crashed, and I am lucky I was able to get X back, so is this guide ok for my purposes?  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_compiz-freedesktop_without_XGL_.2F_AIGLX_utilising_the_latest_Nvidia_BETA_drivers
[01:40] <gnomenoob> it seems that every other time i boot up my system gnome locks up while it is loading
[01:40] <LookTj> i can't send files on jabber
[01:40] <LookTj> is this a problem with iptables?
[01:40] <mnoir> Rocket_37: ok - do you have been manually mounting.  I think making the line for system mounting is a good idea - you can make it mount at boot time or not as you see fit
[01:40] <riotkittie> Wimpog: with a u-haul?  <ducks>
[01:40] <up365> [set] : this link will walk you thru your sound card problems,worked for my SB Live http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[01:41] <Wimpog> Dasnipa`: I'm clueless about that. Can you please clarify
[01:41] <mundano> Wimpog: you should edit your /etc/fstab to mount those partitions in those mont-points...
[01:41] <juano> gnomenoob: is there any error message?
[01:41] <gnomenoob> i figured that it must have been something I had done, so I reloaded ubuntu. it's still doing it
[01:41] <mnoir> Rocket_37: it would help us now as well since you can make it identical to mine
[01:41] <Puck_> hi people
[01:41] <LookTj> because i think jabber does direct connections on file transfers?
[01:41] <mnoir> Rocket_37: since i also have an ntfs part mounted
[01:41] <Puck_> i have a serious trouble with beryl
[01:41] <juano> gnomenoob: at what point does it hang?
[01:41] <gnomenoob> no error messages just will not load . panels half load and gnome hangs
[01:41] <Puck_> someone know it?
[01:41] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ok... I'm not sure what you're saying, but I'll do what you ask
[01:41] <Wimpog> mundano: Thanks. So, then once I edit /etc/fstab I restart, right? What's the diff between /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab?
[01:42] <riotkittie> Puck_: try #ubuntu-xgl
[01:42] <mnoir> Rocket_37: do you know how to edit text files?
[01:42] <Wimpog> riotkittie: what u-haul are you talking about?
[01:42] <Rocket_37> mnoir, sure
[01:42] <Puck_> thanks
[01:42] <gnomenoob> it usually hangs while it's starting up
[01:42] <Moosejaw> someone please have mercy on me, and help me get my wpasupplicant updated
[01:42] <camerong> can anyone here help me with a nidswrapper problem?
[01:42] <juano> gnomenoob: you can try sudo mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome.bak, this will move your settings to another file and start up with a clean fresh one
[01:42] <Rocket_37> mnoir, as long as there's an associated editor
[01:42] <Moosejaw> i keep getting an error i dont understand
[01:42] <riotkittie> gnomenoob: half load like you get SOME applets ... and then BOOM nothing? no desktop?
[01:42] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I guess that's already set up in ubuntu
[01:42] <gnomenoob> correct
[01:42] <mnoir> Rocket_37: yer not sure:  we are going to put all the parms for the mount in the system place so your mount wull be vary simple
[01:42] <mundano> Moosejaw: do you use trevino's repositories?
[01:43] <Moosejaw> maybe....
[01:43] <Moosejaw> but do u want to see the error?
[01:43] <juano> gnomenoob: you can try what i told you, sometimes it helps with those issues
[01:43] <Moosejaw> it downloads it
[01:43] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ok, you're tlaking about editing the fstab file?
[01:43] <Moosejaw> and trys to install it
[01:43] <mnoir> Rocket_37: do you know vi?  yes - fstab :)
[01:43] <gnomenoob> i'll try it.
[01:43] <mundano> something about a sctipt?
[01:43] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I've been doing some reading

[01:45] <Wimpog> willytell: both of them? Do you know what is the purpose of fstab and mtab?

[01:47] <riotkittie> gnomenoob: hm. ah. i switch between wired and wireless, and thats when it goes crazy on me. try juano's suggestion :P
[01:47] <willytell> ups
[01:47] <gnomenoob> so forgive my ignorance but. I load up terminal type "sudo mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome.bak" and reboot my system?
[01:47] <tonyyarusso> ubuntu__: I use vsftpd.
[01:47] <Rocket_37> mnoir: btw, I don't know if this is clear, but I'm running from the Live CD
[01:48] <ubuntu__> ok man i will see it
[01:48] <Rocket_37> mnoir: so nothing we do is critical
[01:48] <riotkittie>  i've noticed that when gnome wont progress beyond panel loading on my account, i can login on my other user and everything's fine
[01:48] <willytell> Wimpog, when you configure fstab and mtab you can indicate automatic mount.
[01:48] <ubuntu__> tony from where are you
[01:48] <Rocket_37> mnoir: but I'm logging this chat soI can refer back to it
[01:48] <juano> gnomenoob: yes, you dont reboot, just press ctrl + alt + backspace to restart X-server
[01:48] <grndslm> I'm using Ubuntu and am wondering if anybody can help me figure out why nm-applet won't display any wireless networks found with my ipw3945???  It just shows "Wired Network" and that's it
[01:48] <tonyyarusso> ubuntu__: That's offtopic
[01:48] <BULLE> ubuntu__: what does it matter, where he is from, we are all from the internet
[01:48] <BenFP> hi i have an extermal wester digital harddrive on a USB and when i plug it in it sais it's a read only drive... but i'd like to delete some files i have on there... how do i change that??????
[01:48] <mnoir> Rocket_37: !!!  - we cannot do this the way i want then - it may not stick....
[01:48] <gnomenoob> i'll try it thanks
[01:48] <ubuntu__> BULLE i only ask
[01:48] <Kyral> BenFP: Is it in NTFS or FAT32?
[01:48] <ubuntu__> i will not kill him
[01:48] <mnoir> Rocket_37: but lets try
[01:49] <Pie-rate> Ok, I'm on knoppix and sound is working, where do i find the configuration files for sound?
[01:49] <Pie-rate> all of them
[01:49] <BenFP> it is in NTFS old windows files i ahve in there
[01:49] <tonyyarusso> !sound | Pie-rate
[01:49] <ubotu> Pie-rate: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[01:49] <BULLE> ubuntu__: and as he kindly replies, its of topic
[01:49] <stefg> BenFP: either it's ntfs, or filesystem is broken and thus mounted read-only
[01:49] <MrKeuner> hi, I have a printer icon on the top panel. I click on it and it is empty. i reboot and the icon is still there. I cannot print by the way. any help is welcome
[01:49] <Kyral> !ntfs
[01:49] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:49] <ubuntu__> BULLE and you like bad person bla bla .
[01:49] <BenFP> it is in ntfs...
[01:49] <Kyral> Okay
[01:49] <mnoir> type gedit  /etc/fstab
[01:49] <Kyral> tI was about to say FUSE...
[01:49] <phixnay> !ntfs-3g
[01:49] <Pie-rate> tonyyarusso: i'm sorry i asked in here. you can take your stupid fucking bot and die in a fire with it
[01:49] <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.

[01:51] <gnomenoob> i feel like an idiot but what was that sudo command again? and what does the "mv" represent?
[01:51] <riotkittie> mv = MoVe

[01:52] <juano> gnomenoob: basically what your doing is moving your gnome settings file for this session to a backup file momentarely to start fresh over
[01:52] <BenFP> so how do i get this ntfs-3g driver???
[01:52] <mnoir> Rocket_37: DONT FLOOD - what i saw looks ok
[01:52] <gnomenoob> sorry i thought i had it copied but clearly i'm a complete moron tonight
[01:52] <riotkittie> sudo mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome.bak
[01:52] <LookTj> I have a jabber related problem
[01:52] <gnomenoob> thanks riotkittie
[01:53] <riotkittie> np
[01:53] <Rocket_37> mnoir: sorry, what's flooding?
[01:53] <mnoir> Rocket_37: when you paste multi lines
[01:53] <Rocket_37> mnoir, oh, ok, no problem.
[01:53] <mnoir> you need to add a line that looks like this:
[01:53] <willytell> Wimpog, I don't understand well why are you doing all that manually?
[01:53] <willytell> Wimpog, I don't understand well why you are doing all that manually?
[01:54] <Wimpog> willytell: just to learn howTheHeckPartitioningWorks
[01:54] <Rocket_37> how come Gaim changes the color of your name?
[01:54] <willytell> ok ;)
[01:54] <mnoir> Rocket_37: /dev/hda1    /media/data1    ntfs         defaults 0 0
[01:54] <Rocket_37> is that a single line?
[01:54] <grndslm> I'm using Ubuntu and am wondering if anybody can help me figure out why nm-applet won't display any wireless networks found with my ipw3945???  It just shows "Wired Network" and that's it
[01:54] <mnoir> Rocket_37: yes
[01:55] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ok, done
[01:55] <Wimpog> willytell: however, I still can't mount that other hard drive... I haven't edited the fstab and mtab, just did mount
[01:55] <mnoir> Rocket_37: it should look like some of the other lines i think
[01:55] <herumor> salut
[01:55] <BenFP> why  is it so complicated to get apps on here that aren't in the add/remove section?
[01:55] <phixnay> grndslm: sorry, this might be obvious, but do you know you're in range of any?
[01:55] <gnomenoob> it's telling me that there is no such file or directory. where should i be?
[01:55] <BenFP> how do i get this ntfs-3g driver?
[01:55] <mnoir> Rocket_37: then save the file
[01:55] <Rocket_37> mnoir: it's the only line of its type. Why all the white space between items?
[01:55] <grndslm> phixnay:  yup, in an apt complex...plenty around
[01:56] <phixnay> hmm ok
[01:56] <phixnay> what kind of wireless card are you using?
[01:56] <mnoir> Rocket_37: just sloppiness - you can make it only 1 space per gap
[01:56] <Rocket_37> BTW, what's wrong with flooding a few lines?
[01:56] <willytell> Wimpog, are you ready to mount those drives?
[01:56] <tonyyarusso> Rocket_37: Busy channel, so lots of scrolling, which is hard to follow.
[01:56] <mnoir> Rocket_37: IN THIS BUSY CHANNEL??
[01:56] <juano> gnomenoob: sudo mv yourhomeuserdir/.gnome yourhomeuserdir/.gnome.bak
[01:56] <Rocket_37> Ah, I see.. it's only because the channel is busy
[01:56] <Wimpog> willytell: not quite. I still have to create the file system on those partitions. I'm now trying to figure out how to do that
[01:57] <mnoir> Rocket_37: that is what pastebin is for
[01:57] <Enverex> When I open Azureus it closes like 2 seconds after the GUI appears. Any ideas?
[01:57] <mnoir> Rocket_37: so is file stored
[01:57] <mnoir> ?
[01:57] <tonyyarusso> Rocket_37: Many less-busy channels don't like it either, but especially here yes.
[01:57] <I-kido> BenFP, enable all repo's in synaptic. You will see and be able to install ntfs-3g
[01:57] <Rocket_37> mnoir: yeah, saved
[01:57] <BenFP> ahhh thank you :)
[01:57] <Rocket_37> What is pastebin?
[01:57] <mnoir> ok - cat /etc/fstab    to confirm it is there
[01:57] <mnoir> !pastebin | Rocket_37
[01:57] <ubotu> Rocket_37: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[02:02] <BenFP> i dunno what it's doing but there are lots of numbers going on :P
[02:02] <bruenig> BenFP, hopefully more letter than numbers
[02:02] <juano> gnomenoob: hold on 1 sec
[02:02] <BenFP> lol yeah that too
[02:03] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I'm looking for what, exactly?
[02:03] <mnoir> Rocket_37: the line we added to fstab in the editor
[02:03] <BenFP> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:03] <BenFP> is that normal?
[02:03] <mnoir> Rocket_37: the second field must be /mnt/data1
[02:03] <bruenig> BenFP, close synaptic
[02:04] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ok, so I have dev/hda1 /media/data1 ntfs defaults 0 0
[02:04] <bruenig> BenFP, then run sudo apt-get update in terminal again
[02:04] <mnoir> BenFP: you are trying to run 2 pkg mgrs
[02:04] <BenFP> i'm lost :(
[02:04] <steelb> what numbers in chmod should i use to make it readable and writable by my name
[02:04] <BenFP> i ran it on the terminal
[02:04] <mnoir> Rocket_37: sorry - need to edit it again - my mistake in my cut and paste
[02:04] <bruenig> BenFP, synaptic package manager needs to be closed
[02:04] <BenFP> i dunno what this sunaptic thing is

[02:05] <Zambezi> I need to flash my motherboard with a .exe-file. How should I do that in Linux?
[02:05] <ubuntu__> hey why apache give me 500
[02:05] <BenFP> ah ok
[02:05] <mnoir> Rocket_37: change media to mnt and save the file
[02:05] <bruenig> BenFP, when you close that, run sudo apt-get update
[02:06] <mnoir> Rocket_37: i really blew it!  change hda to sda
[02:06] <Rocket_37> mnoir: and also change hda to sda
[02:06] <Rocket_37> mnoir: lol right
[02:06] <BenFP> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[02:06] <bruenig> BenFP, apt-get is a command line program that synaptic uses, so you can't have synaptic open while you are doing apt-get commands
[02:06] <steelb> What chmod numbers do I use to make it readable and writable by my user... is it 755? or 777?
[02:06] <mnoir> Rocket_37: i think maybe you are beginning to think on yer own?
[02:06] <ubuntu__> apache error 500 server error
[02:06] <BenFP> i copy and pasted the original comande you gave me...
[02:06] <mnoir> Rocket_37: tell me when saved
[02:07] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I'm very familiar with command lines, just not with linux syntax. I've been repairing PCs since the days of DOS
[02:07] <bruenig> BenFP, do what it says copy and paste "sudo apt-get update"

[02:07] <BenFP> sweet
[02:07] <mnoir> Rocket_37: me too...  it is hard when yer very good at sumpin but a rank beginner at sumpin elsenow mount /mnt/data1
[02:08] <BenFP> ok so now if i go back to add/remove and type ntfs-3g it will have it?
[02:08] <Enverex> bruenig, Do you know of any that do other than Azuerus? (The moment I add a torrent to Azureus it just closes itself :( )
[02:08] <bruenig> Enverex, I use utorrent through wine
[02:08] <Enverex> ugh
[02:08] <mnoir> Rocket_37: so does mount work now?
[02:08] <bruenig> Enverex, ktorrent has it also
[02:08] <Enverex> Oh, cool
[02:08] <gnomenoob> is it ok for me to delete my .gnome2 directory?
[02:08] <Rocket_37> let's see...
[02:09] <krang> join #photoshop
[02:09] <stefg> Enverex: consider Torrent on wine
[02:09] <woodwizzle> Is there a page that describes how to make a derrivative distro of ubuntu?
[02:09] <Enverex> I'm not running torrents through Wine
[02:09] <bruenig> gnomenoob, it won't break anything, you will lose some settings and stuff
[02:09] <Enverex> wine adds enough overhead as is
[02:09] <Rocket_37> mnoir: still no gui access
[02:09] <BenFP> ntfs-3g is still not in my add/remover window :(
[02:09] <bruenig> right but I use rss and ktorrent didn't have it
[02:09] <bruenig> but it does now
[02:09] <bruenig> I should probably switch over
[02:09] <TruthElixirX> adaptr: you still here?
[02:09] <stefg> Enverex: compare that to a 70 MB java vm.....
[02:09] <gnomenoob> maybe it will solve my intermittent gnome starup locking issues?
[02:09] <mnoir> Rocket_37: ls -l /mnt and paste 1 line for data1?
[02:09] <Pie-rat1> cat /dev/urandom>/dev/dsp doesn't produce sound, snd_pcm_oss is loaded, and its confirmed not to be a hardware issue. any suggestions? (i'm giving this channel one last try before i stop joining it completely, don't respond with the stupid bot)
[02:10] <Enverex> stefg, So all linux native apps need a 70MB Java WM do they?
[02:10] <TruthElixirX> Can someone tell me how to make sure GRUB installed correctly this time? adaptr was helping me but he seems to be AFK
[02:10] <stefg> Enverex: no... only azureus

[02:11] <willytell> that's all for me, see you guys.
[02:11] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I'm all ears
[02:11] <BenFP> i ran that command line but ntfs-3g doesn't come up on my add/remove... did i do something wrong??

[02:11] <bruenig> BenFP, do sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[02:11] <Rocket_37> mnoir: nautilus? There's a new name
[02:12] <mnoir> Rocket_37: lets try the chmod that i believe you needed to do 3 hrs ago
[02:12] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ok
[02:12] <mnoir> Rocket_37: nautilus = file manager
[02:12] <stefg> Enverex: it boils down to 3 options: azureus (ugly), wine/Torrent (ok), kTorrent (good if you are a KDE zealot)
[02:12] <Rocket_37> mnoir: BTW, are you typing "Rocket_37" before every line manually?
[02:12] <mnoir> Rocket_37: cd /mnt
[02:12] <CyberCod> anyone know how to get mp4 to work in dapper?

[02:13] <BenFP> so now i can delete some files on my ntfs drive? just like that?
[02:13] <mnoir> Rocket_37: so cd /mnt
[02:13] <riotkittie> CyberCod: i play then in xmms
[02:13] <Rocket_37> mnoir: what IRC client are you using?
[02:13] <Rocket_37> mnoir: typed that.
[02:14] <mnoir> Rocket_37: konversation - i use kde on my desktop, usually
[02:14] <fatalis> I'm fixing someone elses laptop, and I wanted to install ubuntu for him
[02:14] <fatalis> just for kicks, since he won't use it anyway
[02:14] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ah, I guess Gaim doesn't have a similar feature
[02:14] <mnoir> Rocket_37: this completion should exist in yrs though
[02:14] <mnoir> Rocket_37: dunno
[02:14] <riotkittie> sudo apt-cache install xmms-mp4
[02:14] <riotkittie> errr
[02:14] <phixnay> I have a large reiserfs partition - can I shrink it and make a small ex3 partition to share with windows?
[02:14] <riotkittie> sudo apt-get install xmms-mp4
[02:14] <mnoir> Rocket_37: k so cd /mnt pls
[02:14] <fatalis> there's one problem, though: it would be a big inconvenience if I had to give a password together with it
[02:14] <bruenig> Gaim has tab complete
[02:15] <Rocket_37> mnoir done
[02:15] <mnoir> Rocket_37: chmod 770 data1
[02:15] <fatalis> any chance to make it work with a passwordless user?
[02:15] <xamox> if I'm using my SSH server as a proxy server, does it cache data anywhere?
[02:15] <Rocket_37> chmod: changing permissions of `data1': Read-only file system
[02:16] <jrib> Rocket_37: have you tried setting umask=0222 in your mount options?
[02:16] <Rocket_37> jrib: I don't even know what that is.
[02:16] <jrib> Rocket_37: change "defaults" in your fstab line to "umask=0222"
[02:16] <mnoir> jrib: will that work if he ison the live cd instead of real install?
[02:17] <iketurner> do you have to recompile mysql to load the php module
[02:17] <jrib> Rocket_37: wait, did you add a line to your fstab already?
[02:17] <jrib> mnoir: sure, why not?
[02:17] <mnoir> jrib: just askin
[02:17] <jrib> mnoir: it should
[02:17] <Rocket_37> jrib: I added a line as instructed by mnoir
[02:17] <mnoir> jrib: the line is in his fstab yes
[02:17] <BenFP> i still can't delete files on my ntfs drive :(
[02:18] <mnoir> Rocket_37: so you can modify fstab as jr sez
[02:18] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ok
[02:18] <jrib> Rocket_37: k, then make the change as above, save, umount /dev/whatever, mount -a
[02:18] <riotkittie> BenFP: and you've done something to enable writing to that partition?
[02:18] <BenFP> yeah i got ntfs-3g
[02:18] <Rocket_37> jrib: I don't have a line like the one you mention
[02:18] <jrib> Rocket_37: paste the line you have
[02:18] <mnoir> Rocket_37: change the word default on the added line
[02:19] <BenFP> i don'T know where it is in my system... but i got it from the terminal...
[02:19] <PwndMopar> I think the most dreaded part of upgrading Ubuntu is the downloading :P
[02:19] <bruenig> download and then leave
[02:19] <jrib> PwndMopar: no it's definitely when the upgrade stops without finishing :)
[02:19] <PwndMopar> jrib, ahah :P
[02:19] <bruenig> a watched compter doesn't download
[02:19] <juano> BenFP: did you change ntfs for ntfs-3g in fstab?
[02:19] <juano> BenFP: after that sudo mount -a
[02:20] <iketurner> can anyone help
[02:20] <mnoir> Rocket_37: did you get that last?
[02:20] <BenFP> what does mount a mean??
[02:20] <jrib> !php | iketurner
[02:20] <ubotu> iketurner: 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+)
[02:20] <juano> BenFP: changing ntfs for ntfs-3g in your ntfs partition line inside fstab
[02:20] <Rocket_37> mnoir: sorry, I tried to use pastebin to show the contents of my fstab
[02:20] <iketurner> I have read that and Ia m getting a mysql php module error
[02:20] <Rocket_37> mnoir: told me I was spamming
[02:20] <mnoir> BenFP: if you type man mount at a terminal prompt, you can read what -a means
[02:20] <bruenig> BenFP, mount -a mounts all of the drives in the fstab
[02:20] <BenFP> i just want to be able to delete some files off my external hardrive
[02:20] <iketurner> I have read that doc all dam day
[02:20] <Rocket_37> mnoir: weird
[02:20] <iketurner> lol
[02:21] <juano> mount means to make the partition accesible for r/rw/rwx
[02:21] <BenFP> do i want to do that??
[02:21] <mnoir> Rocket_37: yeah - it is finicky - solve that later
[02:21] <jrib> iketurner: which apache are you using?
[02:21] <bruenig> BenFP, yes
[02:21] <BenFP> lol ok
[02:21] <iketurner> 1.3
[02:21] <juano> BenFP: yes, you want to mount it so you can change files inside it, view it etc
[02:21] <iketurner> actually I have both but 1.3 is runnign
[02:21] <BenFP> nothing happend
[02:21] <Rocket_37> mnoir: for sure... Ok, so I add "umask=0222" to the end of the line I added earlier?
[02:21] <Iceman> the perfec
[02:22] <mnoir> Rocket_37: no change the word 'default' to 'umask=0222'
[02:22] <juano> BenFP: after you install ntfs-3g from repos, you have to change ntfs for ntfs-3g inside fstab in your ntfs partition line, then you have to do sudo mount -a
[02:22] <jrib> iketurner: you installed libapache-mod-php4?
[02:22] <iketurner> no I have 5
[02:22] <mnoir> Rocket_37: fstab is a very old fashioned file and the parms innit are positional
[02:22] <BenFP> i dunno how to change that....
[02:22] <iketurner> I will try and install it
[02:22] <jrib> iketurner: what package
[02:23] <phixnay> hi everyone - is it possible to install compiz on amd 64 without crashing X?
[02:23] <jrib> iketurner: yeah, 5 doesn't seem to be in the edgy repos for apache 1.3
[02:23] <juano> BenFP: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[02:23] <mnoir> Rocket_37: but not completely positional.  it is a long story
[02:23] <BenFP> can you send me a pm cause i have to leave for 5 mins...
[02:23] <mnoir> Rocket_37: paste the line from fstab after save
[02:23] <juano> BenFP: ok
[02:23] <Rocket_37> mnoir: Ok, I changed the word "defauls" (yes, it was plural) to "umask=0222"
[02:23] <iketurner> it is installed
[02:23] <BenFP> thank you :)
[02:24] <iketurner> libapache-mod-php4
[02:24] <mnoir> Rocket_37: paste the altered line
[02:24] <Rocket_37> mnoir: ^defaults
[02:24] <Rocket_37> mnoir: /dev/sda1 /mnt/data1 ntfs umask=0222 0 0

[02:24] <mnoir> Rocket_37: good - type umount /mnt/data1
[02:24] <Rocket_37> done
[02:24] <mnoir> Rocket_37: now type mount /mnt/data1
[02:25] <mnoir> Rocket_37: aka bouncing the filesystem

[02:26] <Dot-Communist> hmm
[02:26] <mnoir> Rocket_37: 2.  the secret is the line in fstab - i think nothing else matters that we did
[02:26] <BenFP> can you see me?
[02:27] <juano__> BenFP: nope

[02:27] <math_> Does anybody have experiance troubleshooting prism2.5 cards? It connects to my network during install just fine during install of ubuntu, and won't work after. I'm new to linux, any help would be really appreciated.
[02:27] <BenFP> brb
[02:27] <Dot-Communist> me?
[02:27] <Rocket_37> mnoir: that's why I'm saving this convo to a text file
[02:27] <Flannel> !flash9 | Tenri1
[02:27] <Tenri1> were I to install the newest version of Adobe flash player, into what directory should I install it?  I used /usr/lib/firefox and it hasn't worked.
[02:27] <ubotu> Tenri1: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[02:27] <juano__> BenFP: ok
[02:27] <mnoir> !ntfs | Rocket_37 here is the official page on this

[02:28] <SurfnKid> jrib, u there
[02:28] <Dot-Communist> HOW DO I USE NAUTILUS SCRIPTS
[02:28] <Flannel> !caps | Dot-Communist
[02:28] <ubotu> Dot-Communist: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:28] <mnoir> Rocket_37: enuf?
[02:28] <Dot-Communist> obviously noy
[02:28] <Dot-Communist> *not
[02:28] <Mentok> RAR!
[02:28] <Rocket_37> Hey, is "=" not a valid filename character in Linux?
[02:28] <Mentok> Hey
[02:28] <CyberCod> riotkittie, thanx  but they're videos... I dunno much about the mp4 format
[02:28] <piratemath> sorry, fixed nick. Anybody have experiance with prism cards?
[02:28] <Dot-Communist> hmmmmm
[02:28] <Rocket_37> mnoir: enough for one evening, yes! Thank you VERY much for the crash course
[02:28] <d03boy> I fixed my wireless problem where it would show no networks. I had to go into BIOS and enable my wireless card (no clue why it would disable itself)
[02:29] <mnoir> Rocket_37: it works for me
[02:29] <mnoir> Rocket_37: = works for me...
[02:29] <HymnToLife> Rocket_37, no, what makes you think so ?
[02:29] <Flannel> Dot-Communist: you put them in ~/.gnome/nautilus-scripts
[02:29] <CyberCod> Rocket37 ... my download folder is named     -=Dumpzone=-  so i guess it works
[02:29] <Dot-Communist> thanx
[02:29] <shad0w> anyone want to explain to me how to use cabextract
[02:29] <Dot-Communist> so then how do i use it
[02:29] <Rocket_37> mnoir: interesting... I have a folder that begins with "=" and it's not appearing
[02:29] <piratemath> it's a pcmcia card, I don't think that would show up in BIOS?
[02:29] <mnoir> Rocket_37: ok - promise to pass on the gift to the next clueless wonder :)
[02:29] <Flannel> Dot-Communist: that depends on the script
[02:29] <mnoir> Rocket_37: in ntfs??
[02:30] <d03boy> Pirate-King, whats the problem?
[02:30] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I'm ALL ABOUT passing it forward
[02:30] <mnoir> Rocket_37: = is in yer ntfs partition??
[02:30] <belkin> what the command To write files to the floppy disks ?
[02:30] <Rocket_37> mnoir: in NTFS. Actually, some of my "=" folders are appearing
[02:30] <mnoir> Rocket_37: hmm - dunno
[02:31] <mnoir> Rocket_37: i do not use funny characters on principle
[02:31] <Rocket_37> mnoir.... OOOH
[02:31] <HymnToLife> belkin, the same as the commands to write any file...
[02:31] <Tenri1> what's the url on the ubuntu website for the !note thing ya'll are doing?
[02:31] <mnoir> Rocket_37: ?
[02:31] <piratemath> It's a senao 2511 cd prism 2.5 card.
[02:31] <HymnToLife> !ubotu
[02:31] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[02:31] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I see... "=" does not is not a higher order character than alphanumeric characters
[02:31] <belkin> HymnToLife lol aint true
[02:31] <HymnToLife> belkin, please elaborate then
[02:31] <bluefox83> ok, i can not for the life of me figure out hwo to use avidemux, can anyone help me out? i can chose the decoders and such, but i have no idea how to make it actually start decoding
[02:31] <piratemath> the thing seems to connect to my network during my install, shows up as eth1 after, but I can't get it to connect to anything.
[02:32] <Rocket_37> mnoir: I use it in Windows because names starting with "=" jump to the top of the list
[02:32] <mnoir> Rocket_37: oh - I see - watch out - there are some ways to violate expectations on sort order that will drive you nuts
[02:32] <HymnToLife> bluefox83, decoding what ?
[02:32] <belkin> HymnToLife what about " dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync " thats what iv seen on the net
[02:32] <Mentok> Wireless adapters should show up as wifi# or ath#
[02:32] <mnoir> Rocket_37: linux is waaay too accomodating for me on this
[02:32] <Tenri1> !flash9
[02:32] <ubotu> flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[02:32] <belkin>  HymnToLife ohh my bad i didnt said " To write the floppy disk image files to the floppy disks "
[02:32] <Tenri1> !backports
[02:32] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[02:32] <HymnToLife> belkin, that's to write a floppy image to a floppy disk (and you have to use sudo)
[02:32] <mnoir> Rocket_37: i gotta put my sinuses to sleep so i can feed the sheep in the morning
[02:33] <Flannel> belkin: that'll copy that file, byte for byte, unless that file is a disk image, that's not what you wnt.  you just want to copy a file, so just do it like noral
[02:33] <Rocket_37> mnoir: right, so my folder, "=playlists" is listed after "pink floyd"
[02:33] <bluefox83> HymnToLife, .avi files into .mpeg
[02:33] <mnoir> Rocket_37: oh - I see
[02:33] <Rocket_37> mnoir, thanks again!
[02:33] <Rocket_37> mnoir: have a great night
[02:33] <mnoir> Rocket_37: np :)
[02:33] <Rocket_37> mnoir: happy feeding.
[02:34] <belkin> Flannel i forgot to say that " yes " i do want to write a floppy image to a floppy disk my bad
[02:34] <HymnToLife> bluefox83, avidemux can't create MPEG-1 stream AFAIK
[02:34] <piratemath> Is there a way to figure out the settings used during the install and apply them to a configuration file?
[02:34] <slew> hi! i really messed up and installed a gtk2 theme that dosent work, now i have no panels and gnome cant start. how do i fix this?
[02:34] <bluefox83> HymnToLife, according to the program it can..
[02:34] <belkin> Flannel after running that command i get this dd: writing `/dev/fd0': Input/output error
[02:34] <asubedi> is there a tagging functionality for nautilus?
[02:34] <Rocket_37> Thanks, also, to everyone else! Now back to Windows for some WoW...
[02:34] <HymnToLife> belkin, use !sudo
[02:34] <belkin> HymnToLife i did
[02:35] <Flannel> Rocket_37: you can run WoW on linux
[02:35] <Rocket_37> Flannel: !?
[02:35] <Rocket_37> Flannel: there's a Linux installer?
[02:35] <d03boy> vmware or whatever
[02:35] <Flannel> Rocket_37: no, but that doesn't mean it's not doable
[02:35] <HymnToLife> Rocket_37, you can with !wine or !cedega
[02:35] <Rocket_37> right, emulation
[02:35] <belkin> brb
[02:36] <riotkittie> no no. not emulation.
[02:36] <Flannel> Rocket_37: wine isn't an emulator
[02:36] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel are u still here
[02:36] <Gunslinger|Deags> !seen flannel
[02:36] <ubotu> Flannel is on IRC right now!
[02:36] <Gunslinger|Deags> cool
[02:36] <Rocket_37> Flannel: what is it?
[02:36] <Dot-Communist> Thank you flannel
[02:36] <HymnToLife> lmao
[02:36] <piratemath> how about, does anybody here use hostap as their wireless driver?
[02:36] <riotkittie> Wine Is Not an Emulator <beats you with  a nerf bat>
[02:36] <Dot-Communist> it was a audio convert script
[02:36] <Dot-Communist> :] 
[02:36] <Dot-Communist> and it works now
[02:37] <HymnToLife> Funny how FOSS is often defined by what it is _not_
[02:37] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok i burned xubuntu on a disk and im getting rdy to install it what do u wanna intsall in flannel text mode or oem mode?
[02:37] <HymnToLife> WINE, LAME, GNU...
[02:37] <Optikal___> How can you safely create a linux partition to run ubuntu on from WinXP?
[02:37] <I-kido> !xorg.conf
[02:37] <Rocket_37> Well, if wine is not an emulator, then what is it?
[02:37] <Flannel> Rocket_37: it's a compatability layer.  Basically, your program says "call this windows API call" and wine says "you really mean /this/ API call"
[02:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xorg.conf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:37] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: you want text mode
[02:37] <Dues> releet
[02:37] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel ok here it goes
[02:38] <Dues> ok Gunslinger|Deags
[02:38] <Rocket_37> Flannel: Wow. No pun intended.
[02:38] <Dues> do eet
[02:38] <Gunslinger|Deags> its detecting hardware
[02:38] <Rocket_37> Anyway, that's definately exciting... but it's a project for another day

[02:39] <altazor> i dont understand this chat
[02:39] <Dues> shit i didn't mean to do that, i meant to do that in another irc window, i'm so sorry
[02:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> hi madpilot how r u doin
[02:39] <altazor> what it is
[02:39] <Gunslinger|Deags> i didnt know u were an op u helped me install this stuff last  time
[02:39] <dasguy> how big a partition would you guys recomend for installation?
[02:39] <Dues> depends
[02:40] <Dues> what's your HD space?
[02:40] <HymnToLife> dasguy, 10 GB if you want to be confortable for a first install, to fiddle with things
[02:40] <HymnToLife> for a "normal" install, 5 GB is already more than enough
[02:40] <dasguy> 60 and 20
[02:40] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok flannel heres what happened everything just stopped at scanning /cdrom/pool/main/l...
[02:40] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: it'll scan all that stuff for a while, lots of packages.
[02:40] <dasguy> i'll go for 7.5 then :)
[02:41] <dasguy> thanks
[02:41] <Gunslinger|Deags> well i dont even see my processor working
[02:41] <Dues> lol 7.5
[02:41] <Falstius> dasguy: my / (all of my programs and configuration) is 4.9GB and I have a lot of extra software installed.
[02:41] <Gunslinger|Deags> the little light isnt blinking at all
[02:41] <Dues> mine was 40
[02:41] <Dues> when i first used linux
[02:41] <Dues> and i used like 20 GB of it
[02:41] <HymnToLife> Gunslinger|Deags, you've learned the hard way to _always_ check the md5 and burn at _low_ speed :p
[02:41] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: it's mostly CDrom being read, what you might want to do is reboot, and instead of installing, check theCD
[02:41] <Gunslinger|Deags> i burned at 2x
[02:42] <Dues> sif
[02:42] <Dues> i burned at
[02:42] <Dues> 25x
[02:42] <Dues> er no 45x

[02:45] <Wimpog> already installed
[02:45] <Gunslinger|Deags> i think something is really wrong with this
[02:45] <HymnToLife> @time Paris
[02:45] <Ubugtu> Current time in Europe/Paris: January 15 2007, 02:45:31
[02:45] <piratemath> does anybody else here use a prism card?
[02:45] <Gunslinger|Deags> cause it froze on checking file:
[02:45] <Flannel> Wimpog: you'll have to edit your fstab (/etc/fstab)
[02:45] <Wimpog> Flannel: I'm just repartitioning
[02:45] <[set] > @time NY
[02:45] <HymnToLife> I definitely need to go to bed
[02:45] <[set] > @time NewYork
[02:46] <Gunslinger|Deags> could my laptop be getting too hot?
[02:46] <Wimpog> Flannel: I'm honestly clueless how to edit it, can you give me an example on paritiion /dev/hdd1 and /usr
[02:46] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: probably not.  Do you have another computer/cdrom that you could check the CD with?

[02:46] <Gunslinger|Deags> well why would my thing be randomly freezing then hymn
[02:46] <slew> ubotu revdep
[02:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about revdep - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:46] <Gunslinger|Deags> im so confused
[02:47] <Gunslinger|Deags> it worked fine a week ago
[02:47] <Flannel> Wimpog: you just edit it with any text editor
[02:47] <Tenri1> My laptop gets so hot sometimes that the comforter it sits on smells like it's fresh out of the dryer
[02:47] <Gunslinger|Deags> and i turned it off and turned it on today and nothing
[02:47] <Gunslinger|Deags> it might as well be dead
[02:47] <HymnToLife> Gunslinger|Deags, are you sure the CD didn't get damaged meanwhile ?
[02:47] <Wimpog> Flannel: yeah, but what do I need to write to /etc/fstab???
[02:47] <[set] > maybe you shouldn't put it on top of a comforter
[02:47] <Gunslinger|Deags> yea i just burned the cd 15 min ago
[02:47] <Tenri1> nah, it's cool.
[02:47] <Tenri1> I like it.
[02:47] <Tenri1> specially since it's so freakin' cold here right now.
[02:47] <Flannel> Wimpog: you already have some stuff in there, copy a line from a current hd partition
[02:48] <Wimpog> Flannel: Do I need to restart the PC once I edit the /etc/fstab? Will this repartitioning and moving /usr to a new partition cause some file loss/corruption?
[02:48] <BenFP> juano are you still here??
[02:48] <slew> Tenri1 might burn the lappy in the long run
[02:48] <HymnToLife> Gunslinger|Deags, maybe the burning was bad, those things happen, have you tried the "Check CD" thingie ?
[02:48] <bung> could anyone recommend something lightweight for email, a bit smaller then thunderbird?
[02:48] <Gunslinger|Deags> yea it froze while doing that
[02:48] <Tenri1> slew: yeah, I really need to get a cooler base
[02:48] <juano__> bung: evolution, kmail
[02:48] <bung> thanks
[02:48] <Flannel> Wimpog: the partitioning already caused any file loss you mightve seen, Did you move all the files from yourcurrent /usr to that new drive?

[02:48] <bung> stefg, thanks
[02:48] <BenFP> Juano i am back :)
[02:48] <juano__> BenFP:
[02:48] <Flannel> Wimpog: you will need to restart once you edit.  In fact, it might be easiest to do all the moving/etc from a liveCD
[02:49] <juano__> BenFP: did you register?
[02:49] <BenFP> ok so i have the gstab open
[02:49] <BenFP> no how do i register my nick?
[02:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> madpilot helped me last time and he made me type something in first i dont remember what
[02:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> but it made my disk work correctly
[02:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> anby ideas?
[02:49] <juano__> BenFP: type /msg nickserv register anypasswordyoulike
[02:49] <Madpilot> Gunslinger|Deags, helped you w. what? Sorry, haven't been following your discussion
[02:49] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: noacpi?
[02:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> nah i dont remember it wasnt that
[02:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> do u happen to remember me madpilot im sure u help lots of people
[02:50] <Wimpog> Flannel: OK, I see. yeah, I'm repartitioning new hard drive. So once I repartition, I'll edit /etc/fstab, which will cause /usr from the primary hd move to it's new location on the new hd. Am I understanding the partitioning process correctly?
[02:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> u helped me install ubuntu on my laptop and my shuttle
[02:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> and i turned off my laptop about a week ago
[02:50] <pvd2006> Did they come out with a version of ubuntu based on e17 yet?
[02:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> and i turn it back on tonight
[02:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> and no dice
[02:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> it just freezes
[02:51] <Flannel> Wimpog: you partition, all that does is setup a big empty box, you then need to copy your current /usr's contents, and then the fstab tells your computer that that partition is "/usr"
[02:51] <Madpilot> pvd2006, not yet
[02:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> so i come in here and they tell me u should install xubuntu it takes less minreqs
[02:51] <pvd2006> :-(
[02:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> so i downloaded that and now it is not working
[02:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> either so i am clueless
[02:51] <CyberCod> gunslinger, you had it near any large magnets? speakers?
[02:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> no
[02:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> speakers r pretty far away from it actually
[02:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> theres a printer
[02:52] <Wimpog> Flannel: OK, how about different situation. Say I just partitioned my HDD and now installing Linux. How do I specify which directories (/usr, /tmp) go where DURING installation?
[02:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> thats it
[02:52] <CyberCod> go into the bios, load setup defaults.. could be bios battery died or somethin like that, and messed up your settings
[02:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok ill try that brb
[02:52] <mackin> Anyone alive in here?
[02:53] <Flannel> Wimpog: there's a screen in the installer to do that
[02:53] <CyberCod> 'sup mackin
[02:53] <mackin> hey cyber
[02:53] <mackin> wondering
[02:53] <mackin> i installed the ati drivers
[02:53] <CyberCod> heh.. good luck there... what card
[02:53] <mackin> but max res is still only 800 x 600
[02:53] <Wimpog> Flannel: OK, I thought that has to be done manually as well, because I've never dealt with that stuff, I just used the defaults always
[02:53] <mackin> 9600
[02:54] <Gunslinger|Deags> didnt work
[02:54] <mackin> no ideas?
[02:54] <pvd2006> is e17 available for ubuntu as a apt-get package?
[02:54] <CyberCod> mackin you'll want to             sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and save a backup before you change anything... and see if the other resolutions are in there in the screen section... if not, you may have to add them
[02:55] <pvd2006> and e17 prebuilt themes

[02:55] <CyberCod> gunslinger... it was a shot... you sure its not been dropped, re-seat your ram and such
[02:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> its a laptop
[02:56] <CyberCod> gunslinger, not every problem is software related
[02:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> hasnt been droped
[02:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> i dont see how it could be a hardware issue
[02:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> im not ruling that out
[02:56] <Gunslinger|Deags> i just dont see how its gonna work a week ago and not work today when all it has done is sit closed
[02:56] <mackin> ok cyber
[02:56] <mackin> ive added 1024
[02:57] <CyberCod> gunslinger, i'm just sayin, before working on the lawnmower engine because it won't start, make sure it has gas
[02:57] <mackin> gonna reboot wish me luck
[02:57] <CyberCod> check the basics
[02:57] <CyberCod> mackin
[02:57] <mackin> yes
[02:57] <CyberCod> mackin did you put it in the same format as the other entries?
[02:57] <lunaphyte___> hello
[02:58] <mackin> i added "1024x768"
[02:58] <Lurner> does anyone here use samba to share on a mixed network ?
[02:58] <Gunslinger|Deags> ionno all i know is it booted just fine a week ago i turned it off to save some power and now its not working
[02:58] <MikesHardLinux> Lurner, yes. I do
[02:58] <mackin> before "1024x768" "800x600" "640x ect"
[02:58] <CyberCod> ok, ctrl+alt+backspace is as good as rebooting for checking if that works...

[03:00] <Gunslinger|Deags> ionno this makes me upset] 
[03:00] <MrBrown> er
[03:00] <CyberCod> Hmmm... sorry, i tried... ati drivers blow chunks... you using the proprietary ones?
[03:00] <Gunslinger|Deags> because i switched from windows to this for the fact of everything being better
[03:00] <Gunslinger|Deags> and now something is messed up
[03:00] <Lurner> I've just installed samba , sambafs and the gsambad control panel but now I have to configure all that.. do you know how ?
[03:00] <CyberCod> gunslinger, you have a windows install disk?
[03:00] <mackin> what was the console command again cyber sorry

[03:01] <Lurner> yes I've been reading about it all day
[03:01] <CyberCod> gunslinger, at least you can boot to the xp disk and see if it locks up after being in there a few minutes
[03:01] <Lurner> I think a few words with an experieced hand will help
[03:01] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok ill have to go find my cd
[03:01] <Lurner> if you could pm with me it might help

[03:02] <pianoboy3333> Can someone here explain to me, how a make file is made, and what exactly it does, and how does make install, install the project?
[03:03] <CyberCod> mackin
[03:03] <Flannel> pianoboy3333: make is just a script, make install just calls the compiler, then copies stuff where it;s supposed to go.
[03:03] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: a makefile is written by someone, most likely the one writing the program
[03:03] <stefg> Lurner: samba is one of the best documented pieces of software in linux... so what exatly do you want to do?
[03:03] <Flannel> pianoboy3333: you'd be better off asking about makefile creation in a programming channel, I imagine
[03:03] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: there are plenty of tutorials about make available onthe net, just use google
[03:04] <pianoboy3333> BULLE: Flannel: how does something like checkinstall, fake the make install, and make a package?
[03:04] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: checkinstall is somethign completely different
[03:04] <Lurner> I'm in GSambad and I've configured everything I think I need but this is a complex topic better in a pm mode not in the main channel
[03:04] <pianoboy3333> BULLE: explain please
[03:04] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: it hooks into the kernel, and monitors what the make install thing does, on a file level
[03:04] <stefg> !pm
[03:04] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[03:04] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: then uses that info, to build a package
[03:04] <bluefox83> stefg, why is it the documentation on samba is written for aliens and not humans? cus i read some damn freaky ones..
[03:04] <bluefox83> most of them are in gibberish
[03:05] <Lurner> which is why I'm asking
[03:05] <ardchoille42> pianoboy3333, from what I understand, checkinstall simply makes a package from the source and then installs the package saving the package for you for later use.
[03:05] <stefg> bluefox83: question of perspective
[03:05] <BULLE> bluefox83: because we are from mars, and we are here to take over your puny little silly planet!
[03:05] <noobcook> im having trouble playing Enemy territory on ubuntu
[03:05] <noobcook> =(
[03:05] <pianoboy3333> ardchoille42: I'm looking for the specific, specifics, every one knows that bit :)
[03:05] <pianoboy3333> BULLE: ah, so it's not really "faking" a make install
[03:05] <bluefox83> BULLE, why? not like there's anything here of any value..not even intelligent life :P
[03:06] <BULLE> bluefox83: silly bet i made while being drunk at the pub
[03:06] <ardchoille42> bluefox83, hahahaha
[03:06] <Lurner> Is there anyone in the room that will pm about samba/gsambad issues ?
[03:06] <stefg> Lurner: : ask a smart question, get a smart answer... what do you want to do?
[03:06] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: was quite some time since i used checkinstall, but back then no, it was basicly carying out the actual install part of the makefile, and "recording" what happened, on a file system level
[03:06] <BULLE> pianoboy3333: then using that info, to build the actualy package
[03:06] <Lurner> I want to pm with someone about samba and gsambad issues with out all the intervening chatter
[03:07] <bluefox83> Lurner, i suggest joining #samba and then poking around the ubuntu samba wiki a lot...
[03:07] <pianoboy3333> BULLE: ok, thanks
[03:07] <dumbintel> anyone using ubuntu can you guys try any of the videos from NBA.com and tell me if it works and if so what I need to be able to play it?
[03:07] <Lurner> As I've expained I have read the docs  but really .. if you answer is no I won't pm with you .. please dont' say anything

[03:12] <YokoZar> Is there a way to test an Ubuntu CD without booting it?
[03:12] <F28> VMware
[03:12] <CyberCod> mackin, it should be down there near where the resolutions are
[03:12] <Flannel> YokoZar: there's a CD check on the CD
[03:12] <Lurner> Is there anyone in the room that will pm about samba/gsambad issues ?
[03:12] <CyberCod> mackin, poste your xorg.conf up on pastebin and let us have a look at it
[03:12] <Flannel> gaspipe1: did you install GRUB?
[03:12] <bikhu> guess not :(
[03:13] <YokoZar> Flannel: Is it a script I can run though?  I need to figure out if my CD is bad or if my drive is bad (booting it is giving errors)
[03:13] <gaspipe1> anyone have a dual boot running off 1 hdd?
[03:13] <stefg> YokoZar: shure you can play frisbee with it or trample on it to see if it breaks .-)
[03:13] <CyberCod> gaspipe1 yes    i do
[03:13] <Gunslinger|Deags> well windows xp seems to be loading fine cybercod
[03:13] <Flannel> YokoZar: I... guess you could compare bits.  but no, not that I know of
[03:13] <Gunslinger|Deags> i am noy goinh yo actuallly install everything if thats ok with u
[03:13] <CyberCod> ok, gunslinger, now you know it is just that disk... perhaps an error when downloading
[03:13] <LookTj> cybercod: he can just tell you what cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf says

[03:14] <CyberCod> next time gunslinger, use the torrent, it will throw out bad chunks
[03:14] <mackin> i added the 10x24 sections

[03:14] <Taladan> !LAMP
[03:14] <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+)
[03:14] <LookTj> dot-communist upgrade it?
[03:14] <Lurner> then I'd start a new channel with them.. no problem.. I just need to talk to someone.. we'll figure it out.. there's more than one way to skin a cat
[03:14] <gaspipe1> uhhh is that with synaptic PM?
[03:15] <black_abaddon> my grub has some command error on it
[03:15] <Flannel> gaspipe1: no, it's during the installation
[03:15] <black_abaddon> i dont know why
[03:15] <Dot-Communist> it says broken pipeline error
[03:15] <Dot-Communist> so it quits
[03:15] <gaspipe1> i don't think it asked
[03:15] <SurfnKid> jrib, there's this player i saw on this image screenshot, with an mp3 player, but its all thru a VT, and i tried mpd, mpg321, mpg123 and ncmpc but i cant load my files
[03:15] <linux_kid> ok, my samba networked server(w/ xfce) wont let me edit files in "/var/www/" on my other ubuntu machine but allows a windows pc on my network to edit the files.  any suggestions?
[03:15] <ardchoille42> Lurner, true that
[03:15] <Flannel> gaspipe1: Which installer did you use? Desktop or Alternate
[03:15] <mackin> did you guys get mypastebin?
[03:15] <jrib> SurfnKid: what files?
[03:15] <Dot-Communist> so what am i supposed to do about it
[03:15] <crump> could someone help me with ati official driver?
[03:16] <Dot-Communist> its a broken package that is broken

[03:16] <mackin> crump LOL thats what im figurin out
[03:16] <black_abaddon> my grub files are sodomized, why is that so?
[03:16] <jrib> SurfnKid: btw, mocp and cmus are two ncurses ones
[03:16] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok heres what i did with the xp cd i deleted all the partitions and i am going to try to run the cd i know works brb
[03:16] <crump> man this thing is driving me crazy.
[03:16] <mackin> i know

[03:16] <Pie-rat1> how would i change my kernel from i386 to generic?
[03:16] <Flannel> gaspipe1: alright, reboot, hit escape.  Do you get a menu? (a grub menu?) with different choices on what to boot to?
[03:16] <SurfnKid> jrib, ncurses?
[03:16] <black_abaddon> it is easy man
[03:17] <LookTj> !e17
[03:17] <ubotu> Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version.
[03:17] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: install linux-generic package (and remove linux-386 and linux-image-386)
[03:17] <gmi01> hello i am using a laptop with intel Core 2 Duo T5600 processor should i use a 32-bit ubuntu or a 64-bit one?

[03:17] <gaspipe1> >flannel ok so i should reboot...and hit ESC when?
[03:17] <jrib> SurfnKid: yep, it's like widgets for the terminal
[03:17] <crump> what am i supposed to do with fglrx.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile ? i tried delete it like 10 times but it keeps coming back...is this some kinda lock on it?
[03:18] <linux_kid> thanx stefg: ill look into that
[03:18] <Lurner> the grub load screen only lasts 3 seconds so you have to be fast on the escape key
[03:18] <Lurner> you can edit the menu.lst file to extend that time if you wish
[03:18] <Flannel> gaspipe1: oyu'll see a thing at the bottom saying "hit ESC"
[03:18] <gaspipe1> ok I will try that
[03:18] <black_abaddon> boring stuf try to delte it and just reinstall
[03:18] <yotux> Please don't flame me but why does ubuntu not fall victim to malware?
[03:18] <gaspipe1> >flannel if that doesn't work?
[03:19] <stefg> crump: what you are doing is deleting a file in a /ram disk/, which is recreated at each reboot
[03:19] <Flannel> gaspipe1: then you don't have grub installed, and we'll need to install it (not a big deal)
[03:19] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: linux-image-2.6.17-10-386, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386 will be removed
[03:19] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: linux-generic (version 2.6.17.10), linux-restricted-modules-generic (version 2.6.17.10) will be installed
[03:19] <black_abaddon> well kill your self then
[03:19] <gleesond> how do I change the run levels on the ubuntu live cd to not load the xserver?
[03:19] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: correct.
[03:19] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: Correct?
[03:19] <CyberCod> mackin you there?
[03:19] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: k
[03:19] <mackin> yes
[03:19] <crump> steelb, so how do i delete the real file?
[03:19] <LookTj> black_abaddon: I suggest you use polite language
[03:19] <ardchoille42> yotux, I am thinking that, since Linux takes a bit of knowledge to use, by the time users are comfortable in Linux, they are at the point where they know how to avoid malware/spyware and things like that.
[03:19] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: and you'll want to remove linux-image-386 and linux-386 (or you'll keep getting updates of those kernels as well)
[03:19] <crump> steelb, can i pm you?
[03:19] <mackin> Cyber im here :D
[03:20] <CyberCod> mackin, you'll want to make a backup of how it is now, by using the command     sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
[03:20] <black_abaddon> i am ubuntu master
[03:20] <CyberCod> then get the changes i made here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1644/
[03:20] <gaspipe1> >flannel ok i will try to reboot and do that...either way i will be back :P
[03:20] <black_abaddon> and i am good looking too
[03:20] <CyberCod> and save that as your new xorg.conf
[03:20] <gaspipe1> >flannel thanks again
[03:20] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: Its giving me a warning message that i'm about to make my system unbootable.
[03:20] <LookTj> black_abaddon: you have no proof of that
[03:20] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: er.  When doing what?
[03:20] <mackin> just replace?
[03:21] <vik> how can I check what resolutions my video card supports? is there a command to interrogate it?
[03:21] <black_abaddon> i know but i am telling you the truth
[03:21] <SurfnKid> jrib, got a file or manual i could read and perhaps learn some more about them
[03:21] <black_abaddon> i am good looking
[03:21] <CyberCod> if it doesnt' work you'll want to   sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf    to get your old one back  write that down because if it doesnt work you may be in command line only
[03:21] <SurfnKid> jrib, dont wanna take up yer time :)
[03:21] <Pie-rat1> You are running a kernel (version 2.6.17-10-386) and attempting to remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action.
[03:21] <CyberCod> yes, just replace
[03:21] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: first install -generic, reboot, then later remove the 386, after you know the -generic kernel doesn't cause problems
[03:21] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: You are running a kernel (version 2.6.17-10-386) and attempting to remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action.
[03:21] <LookTj> black_abaddon: I don't believe you
[03:22] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: and, you don't need to remove the kernel itself, just "linux-image-386" and "linux-386"
[03:22] <guiller> GTA San Andreas Ubuntu 6.10 is rulesssss !! :D
[03:22] <mackin> thanks cyber ill be back
[03:22] <black_abaddon> well why dont you?
[03:22] <jrib> SurfnKid: man pages and whatever is in /usr/share/doc/package_name  I use cmus myself.  But mpd offers a daemon with a bunch of different frontends which is cool too
[03:22] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: keeping the old linux-image-[version] -386 is fine, and wise until you know -generic works
[03:22] <crump> what can i do to tell my ubuntu to load the module fglrx.ko from /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/misc instead of from /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/volatile??
[03:22] <CyberCod> black_abaddon how's that trojan coming along?
[03:22] <SurfnKid> jrib, oh a front end i see
[03:22] <black_abaddon> oh my old trojan friend
[03:23] <stefg> crump they are copies... dont mess with that
[03:23] <black_abaddon> well it has taken control of the computer
[03:23] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: will this break my nvidia-drivers?
[03:23] <Flannel> Pie-rat1: no, all you're doing is switching kernels
[03:23] <crump> that am i suppose to do ? : (
[03:23] <crump> what *
[03:23] <LookTj> black_abaddon: you confused me
[03:23] <Pie-rat1> Flannel: brb

[03:23] <asddfs> how to automate mount ntfs partition with ntfs-3g
[03:23] <black_abaddon> LookTj: how?
[03:23] <asddfs> gmi01: 64
[03:24] <mini_> liqui
[03:24] <gmi01> asddfs, should i use the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD for 64 bit
[03:24] <Flannel> gmi01: no, if you want 64bit, you need the 64bit CD
[03:24] <LookTj> black_abaddon: i assume you are on w32, if not, you're trying to make ubuntu look bad
[03:24] <Optikal____> What's the advantage of using the 64 bit version?
[03:25] <stefg> crump what about explaining your problem (after reading http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html)
[03:25] <CyberCod> LookTj... private joke
[03:25] <gmi01> Flannel, but on the ubuntu download page 64 is only foramd
[03:25] <grndslm> I'm trying to setup apt-build...and the installer asks me whether my processer is p1, p2, p3, p3m, p4, p4m, prescott, & something else....i have core 2 duo, so what should I do?
[03:25] <mackin> hey cyber i think there mightbe a different config
[03:25] <Flannel> gmi01: no, it's not.  that's just the 64bit instruction set standard
[03:25] <crump> stefg thank you
[03:25] <CyberCod> mackin what happened?
[03:25] <mackin> because my options are still 800x600 with no 800x600 options in the config
[03:25] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Hey guys, I am looking to run a game server running HLDS (Half-Life Dedicated Server.) Any suggestions?! I need text based only..
[03:25] <gmi01> Flannel, I see so i should use The amd one.
[03:25] <LookTj> cybercod: you mean black_abaddon is joking?
[03:26] <joshy01> how to automate mount ntfs partition with ntfs-3g?
[03:26] <Flannel> gmi01: if you want 64bit
[03:26] <CyberCod> try going ahead and rebooting all the way
[03:26] <black_abaddon> LookTj: yes i am afraid you are right i am on w32, windows are yus better
[03:26] <mackin> i did
[03:26] <gmi01> Flannel, Great I see thanks...
[03:26] <black_abaddon> i am a bit of a joker,yeah
[03:26] <Flannel> Optikal____: you can address RAM outside of 4GB, AMD64 doesn't suffer from registry starvation like i386
[03:26] <arctanx> Hi, I'm running an ubuntu-server, and I'd like to install X so that I can run X progs over ssh, but I don't want to run an a client on that machine. Can anyone point me to the packages I should be looking at?
[03:26] <craigbass1976> Ok, I've been bad.  The initial user (the one that gets created when you install) has been deleted and recreated.  I do not have the same permissions though.  I can't sudo and don't have access to some of the GUI tools I need until I figure out how to do everything in the command line.  What groups do I need to be a member of for more options to show up in my system admin window?
[03:27] <craigbass1976> And why can't root log into the GUI?
[03:27] <Optikal____> What if you don't have 4GB of ram?
[03:27] <Flannel> arctanx: you'll want xserver-xorg, that's the base xserver
[03:27] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Whats the most stable version of ubuntu for a server?
[03:27] <mackin> I downloaded and installed the ATI binary C. Org driver from the add/remove menu
[03:27] <arctanx> Flannel: cheers
[03:27] <mackin> X. Org****
[03:27] <LookTj> craigbass1972: for security reasons
[03:28] <Flannel> craigbass1976: root user is disabled in ubuntu, and even once you enable it, root is disabled from logging in to a GUI
[03:28] <jrib> asdfjkahsdfjkha: I would go with dapper since you won't have to upgrade for a long time
[03:28] <vik> is there a command that will tell me what resolutions my graphics card supports?
[03:28] <Flannel> craigbass1976: you need to be part of the admin group
[03:28] <stefg> craigbass1976: root- logins to X are nono, and there's no good-night-story if you dare to login as root :-)
[03:28] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> jrib, thanks, but I tried that and im having alot of problems with segmentation faults in my programs
[03:28] <LookTj> craigbass: but you login to root via terminal/text based
[03:28] <jrib> asdfjkahsdfjkha: example?
[03:28] <black_abaddon> i have to go to sleep now, i go to school in 3 hours
[03:28] <Flannel> craigbass1976: you can reboot to single user mode (recovery console) from grub, to have a root prompt
[03:29] <liquid> sup
[03:29] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> jrib, When running HLDS on map change I get a segmentation fault...
[03:29] <craigbass1976> I realize the dangers of logging into the GUI as root, but I only need to long enough to put craig back in the groups.
[03:29] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> jrib, every time
[03:29] <craigbass1976> Or can I just edit /etc/passwd?
[03:29] <jrib> asdfjkahsdfjkha: anything else?
[03:29] <black_abaddon> and dont forget about windows, they are better
[03:29] <liquid> Hello i am having some problems with my wireless card and ubuntu 6.06

[03:30] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> jrib, would you be able to help me find the cause of the segmentation faults?
[03:30] <jrib> asdfjkahsdfjkha: did you try a different distro to make sure it's ubuntu's fault?

[03:34] <rsreichert> thanks
[03:34] <mackin> what cardis supported?
[03:34] <craigbass1976> ATI has bad drivers?

[03:36] <jrib> steelb: not that I know of
[03:37] <mackin> ok ill try that
[03:37] <CyberCod> well, the open source drivers are better than ATI's own... go back into xorg.conf and change driver from ati to fglrx
[03:37] <CyberCod> i just saw that... if you installed those drivers you need to change that
[03:37] <jrib> steelb: you could redirect output to a file and then use your favorite text editor
[03:37] <CyberCod> and if that doesn't work, change it to    "radeon"
[03:38] <steelb> k, thanks jrib
[03:38] <mackin> ok so search fgrlx?
[03:38] <CyberCod> no not search it, change         Driver    "ati"            in the device section          to            Driver   "fglrx"

[03:43] <Rob002> Hi there, I just got ubuntu installed. But I am trying to share a folder between ubuntu and windows. I did the "Shared Folders" app thingy and selected the folder I wanted to share. But when I try to access it from my windows computer it is asking for a username / password and my default account login isnt working. Is there something I can do.
[03:44] <moocowmoocowmoo> I use this entry in a shell script to run backups: "sudo smbmount $SHARE $SMBMP"... is there a way to bypass the sudo so i dont get a password prompt?
[03:44] <marither> rob002 you need samba to connect to networks
[03:44] <ttmrichter> moocowmoocowmoocow: Are the backups run by cron or the like?
[03:44] <gaspipe1> >flannel ok cool, and thanks!
[03:44] <Rob002> It installed samba. Windows is asking me for a username / password when I try to connect.
[03:44] <moocowmoocowmoo> ttmrichter: I will set it to cron after i can get the script to run by itself
[03:44] <Flannel> Rob002: that's correct.  You need to setup samba users
[03:45] <Flannel> !samba | Rob002
[03:45] <ubotu> Rob002: 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

[03:47] <Optikal____> Can anyone recommend a good free partition tool for WinXP:

[03:47] <ttmrichter> moocowmoocowmoo: So the solution to the "don't want a password prompt" is to run it in an environment that doesn't need a password.  :-)
[03:47] <Pelo> Optikal____,  does this look like #winxp ?
[03:48] <linux_kid> Optikal: you cannot partition mounted partitions
[03:48] <moocowmoocowmoo> ttmrichter: I see, so it will run smbmount and what not? How do I add it to root's cron table?
[03:48] <Optikal____> Linux_Kid: How does PartitionMagic do it?
[03:48] <linux_kid> Its a live CD i believe

[03:49] <nomin> are there more people using edgy than dapper?
[03:50] <ttmrichter> moocowmoocowmoo: You'd add it to the root cron table by sudoing your command to add to cron.  :-)  (I don't recall the full cron thing -- editing crontabs and such gives me headaches so I do it as rarely as possible!)  When you sudo, you're switching to root, effectively, you see.

[03:57] <linux_kid> kingace: well, i would notify the wineHQ team
[03:57] <erisco> doesn't linux have any kind of way to configure a graphics card? I am not sure if my graphics card is configured properly
[03:57] <mackin> so anyways, dont givethat advice to another n00b :P
[03:58] <metres> erisco : which kind ?
[03:58] <CyberCod> ok, get on one where you can talk to me, and get the ubuntu drive back in that box... and boot it up to live cd

[04:08] <spardue> Please help!! I'm trying to compile a program and I've got a configure.in.in file, yet ./configure shows "no file or directory"
[04:08] <metres> erisco : with th 8.28 driver I had 250 fps and with the 8.31.5 I have 3000 fps... so I think it's right...
[04:08] <naxxtor> never mind about tvtime
[04:08] <PwndMopar> spardue, calm down.
[04:08] <PwndMopar> We probably don't know

[04:09] <Rappermas> oh I see
[04:09] <Rappermas> this is a little more involved than linux
[04:09] <Rappermas> alright, thanks for the link--linux people are always more helpful :)
[04:09] <PwndMopar> BenPA, upgrade to Edgy :P
[04:09] <BenPA> I just upgraded to Dapper lol

[04:10] <metres> erisco : it's not quite easy but it is doable...
[04:10] <erisco> metres, I am nervous, is all
[04:10] <Wrongway> I just installed ubuntu on my new harddrive. how can I access my 2nd drive? it's my old storage drive for windows, so it's NTFS and is not bootable
[04:11] <Rappermas> alright, how do you reset a BIOS to the factory default state?  is it just pulling out the mobo battery?
[04:11] <erisco> metres, I am not really hard-core at this stuff... and I've got valuable work on here
[04:11] <fab5freddy> anybody use ubuntu on amd64 here?
[04:11] <metres> fab5freddy : me
[04:11] <BenPA> pici none listed
[04:11] <Ferret> Rappermas: And the power, and leaving it for some time (as much as 24 hours) for residual power to die... or you could check the manual to see where the reset jumper on the motherboard is
[04:11] <fab5freddy> metres: are you able to view Yahoo! Video?
[04:11] <metres> fab5freddy :kubuntu sorry
[04:12] <Rappermas> wow, 24 hours

[04:12] <turncom> I'm new at this. I have Ubuntu 6.06, and SAMBA. I was using the printer attached to this machine from my 2 WinXP's. Then I rebooted my Ubuntu box. Now, my
[04:12] <fab5freddy> metres: Do you have a link to a good how to/tutorial?
[04:12] <PwndMopar> BenPA, do you know for sure that it's correctly installed in the machine?
[04:12] <turncom> Now my WinXP boxes can't see the printers. What the hey?
[04:12] <fab5freddy> metres: are you 6.06 or 6.10?
[04:12] <metres> fab5freddy : are you french speaker ?
[04:13] <metres> fab5freddy : 6.10
[04:13] <fab5freddy> metres: nope, english and i use 6.06
[04:13] <BenPA> pwndmopar I installed it myself and the box is open

[04:14] <BenPA> please dont tell me that
[04:14] <elyon> Is it possible to remove some default applications that are installed with kubuntu-desktop?  I've tried apt-get remove, but doing so will remove kdebase and such.  I'm specifically interested in removing apps such as Kmail, konqueror, etc..

[04:17] <ves_> Jan 15 04:03:31 lappie gconfd (root-5317): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
[04:17] <johnt> I am getting a 403 when I try to apt-get update i think the sonic wall blocker is to blame what is your opinion??
[04:17] <metres> fab5freddy : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/installation/chroot32bits
[04:17] <metres> fab5freddy : firefox have some problem with 64 bit...
[04:18] <ves_> this seems to prevent synaptic from properly installing apps
[04:18] <Thialfihar> Hallo-a.
[04:18] <seeb> hi everyone, does anybody know the way to restau
[04:18] <Wrongway> in my disks manager, the status for my 2nd harddrive is Inaccessible, and the Enable button doesn't do anything, can anyone help?
[04:18] <fab5freddy> metres: je essaye
[04:18] <Pici> seeb, sudo restart ?
[04:18] <metres> fab5freddy : good luck
[04:19] <seeb> restore an harddrive wich was scratched and now appear as an 78 GO unallocated ?
[04:19] <minerale> I have dhcp setup on my wireless router and I have several pcs laying arund, I would like to be able to referr to them by name, how can I set it up?
[04:19] <Pici> oh
[04:19] <turncom> Is this a good place to talk about SAMBA and printing?
[04:19] <seeb> Pici :) little prob while typing sorry
[04:19] <Thialfihar> This might not be Ubuntu related at all... but maybe someone had a similar problem: I'm trying to write some socket stuff with Flex, and it works if it is running far away and connecting to my machine, but running it here and having it connect to localhost makes it drop the connection very soon. Could that be any network settings that are dodgy?
[04:19] <Pici> I see that now :p
[04:19] <johnt> anyone know why I am getting a 403 when I try to apt-get update i think the sonic wall blocker is to blame what is your opinion??
[04:19] <Flannel> minerale: the easiest method would be to set them all to static IPs and then modify your HOSTS file
[04:19] <Thialfihar> I also thought about my router as the culprit, but I see no clever ways to test and investigate this.
[04:20] <seeb> any testdisk expert around ??
[04:20] <Pici> johnt, have you done anything to your sources.list?
[04:20] <minerale> flannel: I have a couple notebooks and it would be a bitch to turn it on and off, what are my choices, what protocols can I look into ?
[04:21] <Wrongway> is it safe to say no one here knows how to help me?
 it was working fine until I got to this ip adress with the blocker on it
[04:21] <Flannel> minerale: well, you'll need to setup a DNS server then, for your local intranet
[04:21] <kitche> Wrongway: is the second hard drive have a partition on it which format?
[04:21] <seeb> wrongway : sounds more safe to think thatwe re flooded
[04:21] <noobcook> hey
[04:21] <minerale> flannel: is there no other way? something similar to WINS
[04:21] <Pici> johnt, then it sounds like you've answered your own question
[04:22] <Wrongway> kitche: it's NTFS
[04:22] <PatrickBic> can i "convert" a debian to an ubuntu by changing the source list and making a dist-upgrade?
[04:22] <noobcook> ive installed enemy territory but theres a problem, the program punkbuster is needed for play this is all very well accept that wen punkbuster is enabled it writes a file to /usr/loca/games/et accept since im not root it cant write and punkbuster has a failure
[04:22] <noobcook> any ideas
[04:22] <Flannel> minerale: WINS is basically a DNS
[04:22] <Wrongway> seeb: yeah, was figuring that
[04:22] <kitche> Wrongway: ok open up a terminal and type sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/<dev> /media/mount-point see if it gets mounted
[04:22] <seeb> wrongway sounds like i have sort of same problem as ive lost 2 partsand have now onlyan unallocated 78 Go
[04:22] <Flannel> minerale: infact, as of W2k, WINS is deprecated in favor of DNS
[04:23] <Flannel> minerale: but, sure, samba can act as a WINS server
 I thought so I just wanted confimation
[04:23] <minerale> flannel: any tutorials to setting up internal dns ?
[04:23] <Vigo> Greetings
[04:23] <minerale> flannel: how about NetBIOS ?
[04:23] <PwndMopar> o hai
[04:24] <Flannel> minerale: WINS is MS's netbios Name server ;)
[04:24] <Wrongway> kitche: bash: dev: No such file or directory
[04:25] <kitche> Wrongway what is the drive it's /dev/<drive> by the way not just dev
[04:25] <minerale> flannel: is there some package I can setup to enable my computer to operate as a netbios server?
[04:25] <johnt> Thanks  bye
[04:25] <Wrongway> aah, ok
[04:25] <PatrickBic> can i "convert" a debian to an ubuntu by changing the source list and making a dist-upgrade?
[04:25] <Flannel> minerale: no idea.  Your google-fu would be as good as mine in that case.    You might look into setting up Samba as a wINS thing though
[04:25] <seeb> kitche : does it sound fair that testdisk just find the liveCD while the disk utilities find my 'broken' hardrive'?
[04:25] <Flannel> PatrickBic: not safely.  It may work, might not
[04:26] <kitche> seeb: don't know I use a 3rd party cd for all my testing it does memory and such pretty techinal cd
[04:26] <PwndMopar> It's taking almost 6 hours to upgrade to drapper :P
[04:27] <[e] nin> Anyone have trouble installing Ubunto on a Dell Dimension (with a secondary video card), where after the initial install menu, the screen dissippears? :x
[04:27] <[e] nin> er ubuntu* :P
[04:27] <HardOCP_Boyko> Hey guys.
[04:27] <PwndMopar> o hai
[04:28] <wesside> *yawn*
[04:28] <moocowmoocowmoo> why is it that when i run a shell script manually it works fine, but when put in crontab it doesnt do its job?
[04:28] <Wrongway> kitche: I got a little further this time, it asked for my password, and now says mount: mount point /media/mount-point does not exist
[04:28] <HardOCP_Boyko> I've just submitted my final draft to my editor for approval.  30 Days of Ubuntu is completed.
[04:28] <Flannel> Wrongway: does it exist?
[04:28] <kitche> Wrongway: /media/mount-point can be anything
[04:28] <kitche> Wrongway: /media/win
[04:28] <kitche> Wrongway: you just have to make that folder first with sudo mkdir /media/win
[04:29] <seeb> Does anyone know a recovering software available on synaptc pack?
[04:29] <moocowmoocowmoo> i checked crontab -l and it says its set to run but doesnt
[04:29] <dm> Anyone know of a better movie player for firefox, totem sux
[04:29] <riotkittie> mplayer?
[04:29] <bruenig> dm, what is the problem?
[04:29] <erisco> yay! the driver worked! I've got my computer back! and finally a larger res at that
[04:29] <Wrongway> gotcha... I've never used the terminal before, just installed ubuntu this week
[04:29] <h3xis> dm, vlc
[04:29] <kamui> Im having some odd bandwith issues, is there a tool I can use to see exactly what bandwith and connections are being made on my server?
[04:29] <wesside> Cybercod
[04:29] <bruenig> dm, totem-xine
[04:30] <wesside> u still around?
[04:30] <dm> h3xis how to i install vlc plugin for firefox?
[04:30] <kamui> preferably a tool i can setup as a web
[04:30] <h3xis> dm,  i dont know if there is one
[04:30] <kamui> webpage, like webmin
[04:30] <bruenig> the vlc plugin is awful
[04:30] <dm> h3xis then why did you suggest it
[04:30] <h3xis> kamui, why dont you set up webmin?
[04:30] <wastrel> !webmin
[04:30] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[04:30] <dm> bruenig totem has problems loading most videos on th enet, and crashes all the time
[04:30] <bruenig> dm, oh are you talking about firefox plugins or media players?
[04:30] <Pici> Theres an mplayer plugin for firefox, but it doesnt work easliy with ff2.0, afaik
[04:31] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel are you still around
[04:31] <bruenig> dm, for plugin, go with mozilla-mplayer
[04:31] <h3xis> wtf
[04:31] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: nope, not I.
[04:31] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok cool
[04:31] <wesside> CyberCodu here?
[04:31] <dm> bruenig hmm
[04:31] <prestocaso> i have a question about a amd64 turion processor and which ubuntu version to use
[04:31] <h3xis> that's stupid. webmin is good.
[04:31] <kitche> h3xis: webmin is a big security risk to even have installed
[04:31] <h3xis> why
[04:31] <Flannel> prestocaso: do you want to run 32 or 64 bit?
[04:31] <Gunslinger|Deags> well i got that installer u wanted me to use the alternate cd to scan the cd and it got past that step then froze
[04:31] <Gunslinger|Deags> where before it didnt do anyway before freezing
[04:31] <riotkittie> because little gnomes live inside and pound holes in it with their wee little picks
[04:31] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: which step?
[04:32] <Gunslinger|Deags> the scanning cd step
[04:32] <prestocaso> ive heard 64 bit version isnt as stable and has more limitations??
[04:32] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: so, it ended with a success message?
[04:32] <riotkittie> actaully. that is not true. but i imagine that was obvious. to most of you :P
[04:32] <vik> is there a command that will tell me what resolutions my graphics card supports?
[04:32] <dm> h3xis there is a VLC plugin, just found it
[04:32] <Gunslinger|Deags> no
[04:32] <Gunslinger|Deags> it just is froze there now
[04:32] <bruenig> dm, it is awful
[04:32] <Gunslinger|Deags> on a blue and silver screen blank
[04:32] <h3xis> dm, okay. i dont know how stable it works so dont kill me if it messes up
[04:32] <Gunslinger|Deags> any ideas?
[04:32] <Flannel> prestocaso: stability is fine.  limitations are only when dealing with closed things (flash, etc) that can't simply be recompiled
[04:32] <Flannel> prestocaso: or at least, by us
[04:32] <dm> bruenig anything would be better than totem atm
[04:32] <h3xis> kitche, why is webmin unsafe?
[04:33] <bruenig> dm, I just gave you the best one, mozilla-mplayer
[04:33] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: have you tried on a second computer/Cdrom?
[04:33] <BrettMeister> Anyone know how to get the cool new four desktops in transparant box feature going that I've seen shots of?
[04:33] <dm> bruenig ill try it thanks
[04:33] <prestocaso> also what would i lose flannel by going 32 bit
[04:33] <Flannel> BrettMeister: #ubuntu-xgl
[04:33] <bruenig> !beryl | BrettMeister
[04:33] <ubotu> BrettMeister: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[04:33] <Gunslinger|Deags> no because its a laptop i have not
[04:33] <riotkittie> beryl? oye.
[04:33] <Flannel> prestocaso: you'd be using your 64bit processor as a 32bit one.  other than that, nothing.
[04:34] <Gunslinger|Deags> i dont really wanna mess up my one working linux computer that iw ill have to use if i cant get my laptop to work
[04:34] <kamui> so no ideas?
[04:34] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: all you're doing is checking the CD, it won't screw anything up anywhere
[04:34] <kamui> h3xis: I would but i was told never to use webmin in ubuntu ever ever evr
[04:34] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok
[04:34] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: not boot the installer, just check the CD
[04:34] <Gunslinger|Deags> alright
[04:34] <Gunslinger|Deags> lemme try that on this laptopt again
[04:35] <Gunslinger|Deags> if that doesnt work ill try it on this other comp
[04:35] <h3xis> kamui, i see no reason not to. i, along with a lot of other people, have been using it for years on servers. i dont run ubuntu (slackware) but i have had no problems. i've yet to see a valid excuse to not use it
[04:35] <Wrongway> kitche: ok, it's mounted, but now it's telling me I don't have the permissions to view it, and cannot change the permissions because I'm not the owner
[04:36] <kamui> h3xis: I loved it, but I have no idea why not either, maybe its not compatible with teh new tree, well, I guess I see no harm in trying it, this is a personal
[04:36] <prestocaso> so with the 64 bit version it wouldnt support flash, what about other formats any other big losses
[04:36] <bruenig> prestocaso, java
[04:37] <dm> bruenig i installed it, but its still trying to load totem
[04:37] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok its checking ill let it sit and see how far it gets for awhile ill br back
[04:37] <h3xis> kamui, i'm not bitching at you just so you know, but i dont understand what everyones' deal with it is. so ubuntu/debian doesnt support it. big damn deal. it doesn't take any effort to download the source and build it
[04:37] <bruenig> dm, sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[04:37] <prestocaso> any word on when 64 bit will have full support for everything
[04:37] <rscheckler> hello all
[04:37] <prestocaso> hello
[04:37] <dm> bruenig ah, couldnt find what it was listed as.
[04:37] <bruenig> !hi | rscheckler
[04:37] <ubotu> rscheckler: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:37] <dm> bruenig will i have to restart firefox
[04:38] <bruenig> dm, yeah
[04:38] <seeb> any idea about a software that could find files in unallocated harddrive space ??
[04:38] <bruenig> files are on unallocated hard drive space?
[04:38] <seeb> recently turned inallocated space*
[04:38] <bruenig> ah
[04:38] <seeb> :)
[04:38] <kitche> Wrongway: you can use umask is the safest way or add the drive to your /etc/fstab and have it so user can access it though that
[04:38] <Vigo> prestocasao: AMD64?
[04:39] <prestocaso> yes vigo
[04:39] <kamui> h3xis: Im a slackman myself, but when it comes to ubuntu and debian in general, its easy to break the package manager by installing incompatible stuff, so where applicable, I tend to take the advice of those who state taht its not a good idea to do certain things.  Of course, when something can be installed fully self contained, its another story altoghether :)
[04:39] <Flannel> prestocaso: whenever the people holding the keys to that software stuff decide to make 64bit versions
[04:39] <h3xis> kamui, webmin is self contained as far as i know
[04:39] <seeb> ive  done a restoration and then powerfailure ->and 2 parts C & D turned in one unallocated space
[04:39] <kitche> kamui: debian/ubuntu doesn't support webmin anymore due to all the exploits for it that you don't need a login for
[04:40] <prestocaso> what im thinking is if i should go with 32 bit for now and wait until 64 bit gets full support
[04:40] <Vigo> presttocaso: The Herd2 Fiesty has an AMD 54, and so does Edgy. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-2/
[04:40] <prestocaso> so flsh and java arent supported in windows either
[04:40] <Flannel> prestocaso: windows isn't 64bit
[04:41] <bruenig> amd 54, hmmm
[04:41] <seeb> AMD 54 ? why not 67,3 bit
[04:41] <Pici> 54 is an even number
[04:41] <riotkittie> wow, i havent seen anyone ask about wireless or res in a whole seven minutes. the end is nigh, the end is nigh.
[04:41] <Madpilot> riotkittie, shhh!
[04:41] <h3xis> riotkittie, it will come. have faith
[04:41] <kamui> ok, well Ill use this term to go search for a better tool, thanks for the input gents
[04:41] <kitche> well windows is 64bit but just the kernel nothing else is, just easier to install win2003
[04:41] <crimsun> I'm having trouble with my wifi and my resolution, please help!
[04:41] <dm> bruenig hmm, now whenever i try to access a movie it tells me (no video)
[04:41] <riotkittie> i want a pi bit, myself
[04:41] <seeb> by the way i wonder why the wifi isnt detected :)
[04:42] <prestocaso> ok so my new laptop with xp preinstalled is not supporting 64 bit??
[04:42] <bruenig> dm, put about:plugins in the firefox address bar, what does it say about video plugins
[04:42] <prestocaso> dont give a rats ass about xp mind you
[04:42] <prestocaso> or the vista upgrade
[04:42] <bruenig> no wireless or graphics card, this channel will certainly shutdown within the hour
[04:42] <Flannel> prestocaso: that's correct
[04:42] <seeb> but truelly, on my first day on hollidays ive lost all the job on laptopi was supposed to do while abroad
[04:43] <prestocaso> wow id assumed it did
[04:43] <dm> bruenig hmm they moved where plugins were in 2.0.. one sec having trouble finding them
[04:43] <seeb> so if someone know a way to recover file in a 'unallocated' drive
[04:43] <SilentDis> hello :)
[04:43] <prestocaso> there is a windows 64 bit os isnt there?
[04:44] <seeb> i'll be more relax next days
[04:44] <seeb> suypposed to yes
[04:44] <bruenig> dm, put about:firefox in the address bar, what does it say, not hard. Open firefox, go to about:firefox and look, should be no difficulty
[04:44] <bruenig> about:plugins*
[04:44] <riotkittie> wahhh. my favourite firefox extension stopped working :\
[04:44] <shadowhywind> hay all a quick question, take for example the konsole command ifconfig | grep 'Link' .. Is there another konsole command that i could add that would ignore the line with lo
[04:44] <bruenig> ietab
[04:44] <Vigo_> Ubuntu 6.10 here has the AMD64 also,,,,http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/
[04:44] <dm> bruenig the URL is not valid
[04:44] <bruenig> dm, about:plugins
[04:45] <h3xis> prestocaso, yes
[04:45] <dm> bruenig ahhhh
[04:45] <h3xis> prestocaso, there is a windows xp 64 bit edition
[04:45] <netw3rkd> can I get some help on something?
[04:45] <wastrel> !ask | netw3rkd
[04:45] <ubotu> netw3rkd: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:45] <netw3rkd> ah ok good.
[04:45] <netw3rkd> you know damn small linux, right?
[04:45] <netw3rkd> it has the text based gkrellm like program.
[04:45] <dm> bruenig says i have all formats enabled, some with VLC, some with Mplayer
[04:45] <bruenig> !enter
[04:45] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:45] <netw3rkd> or is it gkrellm?
[04:46] <Flannel> prestocaso: only technically.  And it has less support than linux 64bit
[04:46] <bruenig> dm, remove vlc
[04:46] <bruenig> dm, sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-vlc
[04:46] <wastrel> text based gkrellm.   some system monitor proggy that is cli based
[04:46] <wastrel> ncurses mebby
[04:46] <wastrel> i dunno
[04:46] <dm> bruenig that did the trick, thansk
[04:46] <netw3rkd> ok, you know how I can setup that on my ubuntu? or where I can get a tutorial?
[04:46] <EnsignRedshirt> !pcmcia
[04:47] <prestocaso> correct me if im wrong vigo or others but if i use 64 bit ubuntu it would work fine but id not have support for flash and jave which for me would suck
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pcmcia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <h3xis> netw3rkd, gkrellm or the text based thing?
[04:47] <riotkittie> uhh.
[04:47] <netw3rkd> the text based thing, it runs in the windows manager on the background
[04:47] <bruenig> prestocaso, you are right, no flash and java, there is a way to do it, but it is not native
[04:47] <dm> bruenig im so tired :X sorry for buggin ya, and actin like a tard :)
[04:47] <Vigo_> !java
[04:47] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[04:47] <riotkittie> on the background? desktop background?
[04:48] <Flannel> !chroot | prestocaso they end up using this
[04:48] <ubotu> prestocaso they end up using this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[04:48] <prestocaso> but not to feel to badly that would be the sme as going with the installed os but now i know
[04:48] <netw3rkd> yes the desktop background.
[04:48] <riotkittie> netw3rkd: conky ?
[04:48] <netw3rkd> what's conky?
[04:48] <makuseru> is there a sound frequency generator in ubuntu
[04:48] <EnsignRedshirt> When I boot in dapper, I see a message about "... pcmcia-cs .... failed".  How do I prevent it from trying to do pcmcia stuff? This is a desktop computer, not a laptop.
[04:48] <riotkittie> nevermiiiiiiind
[04:48] <bruenig> conky is the little system monitory things that runs on the desktop
[04:48] <bruenig> monitor*
[04:48] <Pici> netw3rkd, http://conky.sourceforge.net/
[04:48] <netw3rkd> yes conky is it
[04:49] <netw3rkd> thanks
[04:49] <riotkittie> i rock. yay me.
[04:49] <netw3rkd> heh
[04:49] <netw3rkd> have a good night
[04:49] <prestocaso> i bet nobody even knows all those 64 bit machines running windows in best buy are running in 32 bit mode
[04:50] <EnsignRedshirt> Hmm... /etc/discover.conf has a line that says "enable pcmcia"...
[04:50] <MindFreek> I need some assistance, I need to convert raw AVI to XviD... can anyone help?
[04:50] <bruenig> !avidemux | MindFreek
[04:50] <ubotu> avidemux: a small editing software for avi (especially DivX). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.1.2-0.0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 2738 kB, installed size 6956 kB
[04:51] <MindFreek> is there any codecs to install with that? for XviD
[04:51] <bruenig> it should work with xvid
[04:51] <dm> omg the iphone is cool... too bad its with Cingular..
[04:51] <MindFreek> with XviD, how can it encode to XviD without a codec?
[04:51] <bruenig> !offtopic
[04:51] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:51] <EnsignRedshirt> Would commenting out the "enable pcmcia" line from /etc/discover.conf be the correct way to get rid of the pcmcia failure message that I get when I boot dapper?
[04:52] <bruenig> MindFreek, I think it can, let me fire mine up and see
[04:52] <wesside> amazing
[04:52] <wesside> CyberCod
[04:52] <MindFreek> bruenig, thanks.
[04:52] <bruenig> MindFreek, yeah it has Xvid4
[04:52] <bruenig> whatever that is
[04:52] <MindFreek> bruenig, thanks... I will check that out
[04:53] <prestocaso> thanks for the help guys i learned somthing i didnt expect to
[04:53] <hahafaha> I am currently trying to install either Debian or Ubuntu on an old computer
[04:53] <PwndMopar> Cool.
[04:53] <Vigo_> Is there a version for the mentally challenged?
[04:53] <makuseru> is there a sound frequency generator in ubuntu
[04:53] <bruenig> Vigo_, Ubuntu Christian Edition
[04:54] <Vigo_> Thank you
[04:54] <hahafaha> It has a 3com etherlink III ethernet card, 200MhZ processor, 256MB of RAM and a 20GB hard disk
[04:54] <Pici> makuseru, Audacity might be able to do it
[04:54] <wastrel> debian
[04:54] <bruenig> wit*
[04:54] <kitche> hahafaha: debian for that 200mhz isn't very fast
[04:54] <hahafaha> Due to installation problems regarding the network, I decided to use an old Live CD of 5.10 that I had lying around
[04:54] <hahafaha> kitche: it's OK, it won't be running X
[04:54] <EnsignRedshirt> bruenig: I don't think that answer would conform to the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
[04:55] <hahafaha> I have a very strange situation now
[04:55] <moocowmoocowmoo> sudo crontab -r
[04:55] <hahafaha> I successfully loaded 3c509, the proper module for the NIC and in /etc/network/interfaces, set up an entry for eth0 with DHCP.
[04:55] <moocowmoocowmoo> oops that was supposed to go in terminal
[04:55] <Vigo_> I have Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy installed on a partition, istall Christian Edition over it will work?
[04:55] <bruenig> the code of contact is so long, I came to linux to get away from the endless EULAs
[04:56] <fab5freddy> how do I restore my ubuntu to the default setting when I first installed?
[04:56] <fab5freddy> I am using Dapper 6.06 amd64
[04:56] <hahafaha> dhclient eth0 causes my router to claim that the computer connected to it (I know that it is that computer because the MAC address matches), but the computer claims that it is not getting any offers
[04:56] <bruenig> fab5freddy, if you are talking about everything back to default, not just say X, then you are probably going to need to reinstall
[04:56] <EnsignRedshirt> bruenig: It's not about licenses, it's about respect.
[04:57] <fab5freddy> bruenig: do you suggest 6.06 or 6.10 for amd64?
[04:57] <hahafaha> So now, I don't know what to do
[04:57] <wastrel> hahafaha:  why not just configure the network manually/
[04:57] <PwndMopar> I'll configure your network manually D;
[04:57] <hahafaha> wastrel : you mean give it a static address?
[04:57] <bruenig> fab5freddy, everyone says 6.06 is more stable, but I am not sure on 64 bit
[04:57] <wastrel> yes
[04:58] <fab5freddy> bruenig: 6.10 doesn't even install for me, i get stuff on a black/white ubuntu screen, cd stops spinning..
[04:58] <hahafaha> wastrel : I tried. ifconfig claims that it has the address, but I am unable to ping anywhere except to localhost
[04:58] <bruenig> fab5freddy, well then 6.06 seems the logical choice
[04:58] <hahafaha> westrel : including 192.168.1.1, which is my router/gateway
[04:58] <marshall> wassap
[04:58] <BenPA> pwndmopar I have news for you about the wireless
[04:59] <fab5freddy> ok thanks
[04:59] <PwndMopar> BenPA, ? :O
[04:59] <Pici> hahafaha, did you just set your ip-address, or did you do the gateway/netmask as well?
[04:59] <marshall> hows it going guys
[04:59] <wastrel> hahafaha:  check the link lights on the ethernet card ?
[05:00] <hahafaha> pici : I did ip address, gateway and netmask
[05:00] <hahafaha> wastrel : the router has the lights on
[05:01] <hahafaha> wastrel : the card does not
[05:01] <BenPA> I am almost there ... I found some info under ubuntu 6.06 I now have a wlan0 showing but no ip and the wireless card is flashing ... can you or someone else tell me what I have to do to connect
[05:01] <hahafaha> wastrel : however, the router is claiming that it is giving it an address of 192.168.1.102, so it has to be connected.
[05:02] <PwndMopar> BenPa, what'd you find? :O
[05:02] <wastrel> try unloading and reloading the module ?
[05:02] <wastrel> i dunno :/
[05:02] <hahafaha> wastrel : I tried it
[05:02] <hahafaha> wastrel : ah well
[05:02] <BenPA> or did I just miss info hold a sec I will get you the link
[05:02] <PwndMopar> Thank you :] 
[05:02] <Pici> BenPA, do you know your AP's essid?
[05:02] <PwndMopar> essid = ssid?
[05:02] <Pici> yes
[05:02] <PwndMopar> K <3
[05:03] <EnsignRedshirt> Is this normal? /etc/discover.conf.d contains a link to a nonexistent file: 10linux-sound-base links to /lib/linux-sound-base/ALSA.discover2.conf
[05:03] <Balsamic_Chicken> hi is there any program in ubuntu that allows me to make screen capture shots for videos that I have?
[05:03] <Pici> the argument for my wireless card is called essid, I'm just used to calling it that
[05:03] <PwndMopar> Pici, Ubuntu is used to calling it that too :P
[05:03] <BenPA> I am not sure of the ap's essid where would I find it and what do you mean by essid ... you mean ip?
[05:04] <Flannel> Balsamic_Chicken: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts
[05:04] <PwndMopar> BenPA, essid = your networks name.
[05:04] <Balsamic_Chicken> Flannel thx alot
[05:04] <PwndMopar> I named mine Fred.
[05:04] <PwndMopar> :P
[05:05] <BenPA> pwndmopar see this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Windows_Wireless_Drivers_.28Ndiswrapper.29
[05:05] <i7ch> is there a way to tell apt to never upgrade a particular package, even though there's an update available? i.e. so it stops bothering me about it?
[05:05] <Flannel> !pin | i7ch
[05:05] <ubotu> i7ch: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[05:05] <PwndMopar>  ty
[05:05] <i7ch> thanks Flannel
[05:06] <Vigo> Oh neato, I just have to repair the install I have and can update it  to the CE .
[05:07] <PwndMopar> BenPA, is that for Edgy?
[05:07] <Vigo> Thank you kindly
[05:07] <BenPA> pwndmopar ... network name behind my router? are you saying what is the local ip?
[05:07] <PwndMopar> Ohh, nevermind
[05:07] <PwndMopar> BenPa, what kind of router do you have?
[05:07] <BenPA> dlink
[05:07] <PwndMopar> Can you access the router config from your machine?
[05:07] <BenPA> yes
[05:07] <PwndMopar> Open them up
[05:07] <BenPA> already there
[05:08] <PwndMopar> Somewhere in there you should see ssid :/
[05:08] <BenPA> hold a sec
[05:08] <PwndMopar> I'm not familiar with dlink
[05:08] <Pici> Me either
[05:10] <PatrickBic> hi again
[05:10] <BenPA> ok I found it now what
[05:10] <Pie-rate> almost no one is in #networking, so: I recently moved my computer to a different place on the same LAN, and now it drops a whole bunch of packets for a few seconds every 30 seconds or so. Basically I moved from router -> switch -> 802.11g access point -> 802.11g bridge -> switch -> switch -> computer (worked fine there) to router -> switch -> computer (drops almost all packets for 4-10 seconds every 30-60 seconds). Anyone know what the 
[05:10] <Torist> what is the room for ubuntu-server questions?
[05:10] <PatrickBic> E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on python2.5-minimal >> how can i get around that?
[05:10] <makuseru> is there a sound frequency generator in ubuntu
[05:11] <Torist> audacity makuseru
[05:11] <makuseru> it dosnt
[05:11] <BenPA> pwndmopar ... ok I found it now what do I do
[05:11] <Torist> get the newest version makuseru
[05:11] <Torist> it has one built in
[05:11] <Torist> its not the repositories yet
[05:11] <makuseru> oh ok
[05:11] <Torist> download it from their website (the deb)
[05:11] <Pici> BenPA, try doing 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "essidname"'
[05:11] <Torist> what is the ubuntu server chat room?
[05:12] <Pici> where essidname is the name of your ssid
[05:12] <tonyyarusso> Torist: Here's fine.
[05:12] <Torist> i am trying to setup an email server
[05:12] <makuseru> there is no deb for the new one
[05:12] <Pici> BenPA, do you have wpa or wep enabled?
[05:12] <Torist> what is the easiest server to setup that has a GUI on the setup
[05:12] <PatrickBic> E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on python2.5-minimal >> how can i get around that?
[05:13] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, we need a little bit more info than that
[05:13] <rukuartic> Hey everyone. I had a question about setting up proftpd... I set a user's login shell to /dev/null, and then they can't login to the FTP.
[05:13] <PatrickBic> well.. i make a apt-get dist-upgrade.
[05:13] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, I have no idea what you aret rying to do etc etc
[05:13] <PatrickBic> and after downloading the debs its printing that.
[05:13] <makuseru> torisst:there is no deb for the new one
[05:13] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, could you pastebin the entire thing?
[05:13] <Torist> let me give you a link makuseru, one min
[05:13] <makuseru> ok
[05:14] <PatrickBic> NickGarvey: thats a list with about 2500 packages.. and then printing that..
[05:14] <EnsignRedshirt> How do I prevent dapper from trying to initialize nonexistent pcmcia hardware at boot?
[05:14] <pvd2006> Is Edgy Eft more responsive than Dapper Drake?
[05:14] <NickGarvey> EnsignRedshirt, you could chmod -x the entry in /etc/init.d
[05:14] <BenPA> pwndmopar and pici ok I did that ... the card stopped blinking but still no connection ... no wpa or wep enabled
[05:15] <Torist> http://audacity.sourceforge.net/beta/audacity-src/audacity-src-1.3.2.tar.gz
[05:15] <Torist> sorry, its not deb
[05:15] <EnsignRedshirt> NickGarvey: Is that the "correct" way? (Whatever "correct" means...)
[05:15] <Torist> you have to do a "./configure" then "make" then "make install" on it
[05:15] <rukuartic> pvd2006: I found it to be. Depends on your system I suppose.
[05:15] <Pici> BenPA, do a iiwconfig wlan0 , do you see that it has associated itself with an access point?
[05:16] <PatrickBic> NickGarvey: http://rafb.net/p/j9v4TF46.html
[05:16] <CongTu> fuck
[05:16] <NickGarvey> EnsignRedshirt, that is what I do because it is very easy to turn it back on, the better way might be to remove the entire entry from the start up scripts, but I don't know how to do that, let alonoe put it back in (been a while sense I have used ubuntu)
[05:16] <CongTu> :d

[05:16] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, thats very.. not english
[05:17] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> When installing ubuntu will manually setting your partitions boost performance if you set them right?
[05:17] <Torist> anyone know of an email server that has a GUI for easy setup on ubuntu?
[05:17] <Pici> ben42, now do a sudo dhclient wlan0
[05:17] <Pici> er benpa
[05:17] <Pici> too many bens
[05:17] <Pici> <-- also a Ben
[05:17] <BenPA> lol
[05:17] <BenPA> cool
[05:17] <NickGarvey> guess my name!
[05:17] <Pici> Ben!
[05:17] <NickGarvey> you will never get it
[05:17] <NickGarvey> yes!
[05:17] <Torist> asdfjkahsdfjkha - yes, use non journaling partitions to go faster and put the swap at the front of your hard disk
[05:17] <NickGarvey> well, close
[05:17] <BenPA> your name is funny
[05:17] <NickGarvey> you got one letter right
[05:18] <Pici> Woo!
[05:18] <BenPA> ok pici now what
[05:18] <PatrickBic> NickGarvey: i know that its not english
[05:18] <Pici> did it say that you got an Ip address?
[05:18] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, what do you mean by non journaling partitions? and can you give me an example? Because I have a 120gig hd that im on the manual edit table screen right now
[05:18] <PatrickBic> gimme what you dont understand and ill translate it
[05:18] <Torist> ext2 is non-journaling
[05:18] <Torist> it is the only one i know of
[05:18] <Torist> ext3 is not
[05:18] <Wrongway> kitche: can you help me through the umask?
[05:19] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, but ubuntu will work fine with ex2?
[05:19] <Torist> setup the swap to be at the starting area of your HD 0 MB to whatever
[05:19] <Torist> yes
[05:19] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, lines 430-436, lines 198, 201, and 203
[05:19] <Torist> it will work fine with ext2
[05:19] <PatrickBic> ok.. hold on
[05:19] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, what is a good % of space to use for swap?
[05:19] <Torist> 3 times your physical memory
[05:19] <NickGarvey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, creative name
[05:19] <Torist> but no more than 1 GB
[05:19] <NickGarvey> Torist, 3x is a lot
[05:20] <Pici> BenPA, it should say something like 192.168.0.2 offered, sleeping or something I cant remember and if I do it now I'll lose my connection
[05:20] <zurgutt> folks - i have installed qmail from source and now need to make sure that postfix and courier cannot be installed by apt-get by accident - how to do it?
[05:20] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> nickgarvey thanks!!!
[05:20] <Wrongway> or anyone really, help me with umask please
[05:20] <BenPA> pici it does not give me an ip address
[05:20] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist / nickgarvey, I have a 120 gig harddrive with 512MB ram... So a good swap would be... 1.5GB ?
[05:21] <Torist> 1 GB should be enough
[05:21] <NickGarvey> yeah thats what I'd do, but you might not need that much
[05:21] <Torist> 1.5 will work, but probably overkill
[05:21] <rukuartic> Anyone here with Proftpd?
[05:21] <NickGarvey> but it seems you have space to spare so why not
[05:21] <rukuartic> !swap
[05:21] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[05:21] <riotkittie> well, with 120GB, a gig for swap shouldnt be an issue
[05:21] <NickGarvey> rukuartic, I suggest just using sftp which is built into sshd
[05:21] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> but will a bigger swap take away from performance?
[05:21] <NickGarvey> asdfjkahsdfjkha, not at all
[05:21] <riotkittie> better to have it and not need it... :p
[05:21] <rukuartic> NickGarvey: I realize that, but I'm trying to allow customers in with just basic ftp.
[05:21] <Torist> asdfjkah, ur right
[05:21] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> So I can do like a 15% of my hd swap partition and thats fine?
[05:21] <Torist> 1 GB should be max on swap
[05:21] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> oh ok
[05:22] <rukuartic> NickGarvey: I was trying to set their loginshell to /dev/null so they couldn't ssh in (or someone else who sniffed their plaintext) but it doesn't work.
[05:22] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> and a swap is a primary partition?
[05:22] <elyon> Could someone help me get my refresh rate over 60??  My eyes are killing me!
[05:22] <Pici> BenPA, try doing sudo ifup wlan0
[05:22] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, do I set my swap partition to primary or logical ?
[05:23] <Torist> primary
[05:23] <rukuartic> elyon: Should be in System>Preferences>Screen Resolution
[05:23] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, thank you :P much help

[05:23] <elyon> rukuartic: Oh, I know WHERE to change it, but 60 is the only option.
[05:23] <Torist> i wish someone in here knew of an easy to setup email server on ubuntu with a setup GUI
[05:23] <rukuartic> elyon: Try setting your resolution to something smaller. You're on a CRT?
[05:23] <BenPA> pici it says interface already configured
[05:23] <PatrickBic> NickGarvey: http://rafb.net/p/5Pvidq91.html
[05:23] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, why do you need a gUI ?
[05:23] <Torist> for easy-ness
[05:23] <Torist> email servers are messy
[05:24] <zurgutt> gui on a server - what for?
[05:24] <Torist> if its command line
[05:24] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, I find gui's harder...
[05:24] <elyon> rukuartic: I believe so, yes.  My resolution is 1024x768...
[05:24] <Torist> lol
[05:24] <Torist> speed
[05:24] <Pici> BenPA, do you have an IP address listed under ifconfig wlan0 ?
[05:24] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> ssh + ftp = pwn
[05:24] <Torist> i can access more than one window with speed
[05:24] <NickGarvey> rukuartic, oh I see
[05:24] <elyon> rukuartic: Used to have it running at 75, but after reconfiguring xorg.conf, it stopped offering me that for some reason.
[05:24] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> torist, well I dont know of any :( sry lolz I just know text base
[05:24] <panpan> re
[05:24] <Torist> ok, np, thanx anyhow
[05:24] <rukuartic> NickGarvey: You wouldn't happen to know how to fix that would you?
[05:24] <BenPA> pici yes I do
[05:25] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, did you try doing apt-get update && apt-get upgrade first?
[05:25] <PatrickBic> sure
[05:25] <panpan> quit
[05:25] <MindFreek> I am having issues with AVIs that I encode with Avidemux not playing in VLC... VLC just instantly closes
[05:25] <Pici> BenPA, neat, try going on the internet, or pinging your router/anything
[05:25] <BenPA> pici its working now
[05:26] <BenPA> yoo hoo
[05:26] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> mindfreek, dosent vlc play like... anything?
[05:26] <CyberCod> well, I guess mackin gave up altogether... its almost been an hour and he's not back
[05:26] <MindFreek> asdfjkahsdfjkha, yes it does...
[05:26] <CyberCod> it doesn't seem to play mp4
[05:26] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> lies
[05:26] <elyon> Could someone help me get my refresh rate over 60??  My eyes are killing me!
[05:26] <Pici> Theres a way to have it set the ssid on  boot, but I cant remember the file name
[05:26] <MindFreek> but it is just closing after I encode a RAW AVI to XviD
[05:26] <BenPA> pici is it now set to that so that each time I start up it will work?
[05:27] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> !refresh rate
[05:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about refresh rate - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:27] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> meh
[05:27] <MrPacific> huzzah
[05:27] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> worth a try
[05:27] <elyon> asdfjkahsdfjkha: Heh, nice try. :)
[05:27] <NickGarvey> I think I'm immune to the refresh rate
[05:27] <NickGarvey> I never get headaches etc anymore
[05:28] <PatrickBic> NickGarvey: any idea how to get around that error?
[05:28] <elyon> NickGarvey: I never ran at 60 before, so I never had a problem... but its driving me crazy.
[05:28] <Pici> Anyone know what the filename is to set your essid at boottime?
[05:28] <NickGarvey> PatrickBic, did you do the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?
[05:28] <PatrickBic> sure
[05:28] <wastrel> Pici:  /etc/network/interfaces
[05:28] <Pie-rate> I have a networking problem. I recently moved my computer to a different place on the same LAN, and now it drops a whole bunch of packets for a few seconds every 30 seconds or so. Basically I moved from router -> switch -> 802.11g access point -> 802.11g bridge -> switch -> switch -> computer (worked fine there) to router -> switch -> computer (drops almost all packets for 4-10 seconds every 30-60 seconds). It seems like reducing the co
[05:29] <Pici> Thanks
[05:29] <PatrickBic> but.. upgrade fails on auctex
[05:29] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> elyon, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76387
[05:29] <BenPA> pici is it now set to that so that each time I start up it will work?
[05:30] <Pici> BenPA, I dont think so, you may have to look in the file /etc/network/interfaces
[05:30] <elyon> asdfjkahsdfjkha: Not sure I want to try that with an ATI card ;)
[05:30] <Zambezi> I need to change graficcard and then start the computer with another and i don't know how to configure X. Is it possible to access the files on hda1 when running a Live CD so I can make backup to USB-memory and then reinstall?
[05:30] <Pici> BenPA, check for a line that begins "iface wlan0"
[05:31] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> elyon, ah!
[05:31] <BenPA> pici I changed the settings in there but so I have to tell it essid (the name) ?
[05:31] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> elyon, ahttp://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12570.html
[05:31] <riotkittie> Zambezi: you can "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from the CLI and that should autoconfig X
[05:32] <Pici> BenPA, if you have a line that says wireless-essid 'essidname' then you should be set
[05:32] <Zambezi> riotkittie, From CLI?
[05:32] <_james> how can i play wmv file and mpg on ubuntu? i try to play it on movie player but it won't play
[05:32] <riotkittie> but yes you can access files on the HD while using a live disc
[05:32] <pissedoffdude> u need to get codecs
[05:32] <riotkittie> bash. term. prompt. command line.

[05:33] <grndslm> I am running Edgy on an ASUS Z35F laptop, and my touchpad doesn't work 100% right...I can't select text without using the left-click button, or drag windows either (i.e. - double tapping & dragging).  Can anybody help?
[05:33] <rukuartic> Zambezi: You should be able to change your graphics card without having to reinstall. It might be a tad difficult but it should work just fine.
[05:33] <riotkittie> Steve_Laptop: rm -Rf ?
[05:33] <BenPA> pici  ... it's actually my neice's pc so where do I set the essid name in the file?
[05:33] <kameron> can anyone help me to get sound working through tvtime, i have a bt878 chipset tv tuner card.
[05:33] <Steve_Laptop> riotkittie, thanks
[05:34] <Zambezi> rukuartic, I'm fairly new to Linux.
[05:34] <Pici> BenPA, my file has a line that says "iface wlan0 inet dhcp"
[05:34] <elyon> asdfjkahsdfjkha: Hehe, I've already searched the forums, bro.  And that last link tells the guy how to get his refresh rate DOWN to 60... I want mine AWAY from 60. ;)
[05:34] <riotkittie> my pleasure
[05:34] <rukuartic> Zambezi: The folks here will help you through it.
[05:34] <spike723> I have 6.10 installed, how can I upgrade to 7.04?
[05:34] <Pici> BenPA, the next line is "wireless-essid myessidname"
[05:34] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> elyon, then just change that value
[05:34] <Zambezi> rukuartic, When I changed the graficcard earlier I couldn't login.
[05:34] <spike723> I have to modify something in /etc and then apt-get upgrade?
[05:34] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Either way, you can access a "command line" by pressing Ctrl+alt+f1 through f6
[05:34] <BenPA> pici that is what I put in my file earlier with the directions I found
[05:34] <elyon> asdfjkahsdfjkha: I'm trying to find the value to change... he didn't get much help there either.
[05:34] <elyon> lol
[05:35] <rukuartic> Zambezi: From there you should be able to login with your username and password.
[05:35] <BenPA> pici oh ok
[05:35] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> elyon, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate
[05:35] <Zambezi> rukuartic, But it's hard to be here when both computers are down. I tried that, but when I tried to login the password where "wrong".
[05:35] <rukuartic> Zambezi: did you forget your password?
[05:35] <Grok_> i'm trying to install a linksys wireless card on a laptop running dapper using fwcutter. most documentation assumes that you're connected to the net when you do the install. (apt-get install fwcutter....) is there a way for me to download the files needed and transfer them to this other laptop and do a "local" apt-get install?
[05:35] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Of course not. ;-)
[05:36] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Total worst case if you can't get anything to work, yes a LiveCD will suffice.
[05:36] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Where is the sources file that I edit for apt-get  /.
[05:36] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> ?
[05:36] <BenPA> pici is it in " " ?
[05:37] <Pici>  /etc/sources.list
[05:37] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> pici thanks
[05:37] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Then I'm going to try to change, but I need to change on my firewall. I really hope that will boot after I change the graficcard.
[05:37] <Pici> BenPA, nope
[05:37] <rukuartic> asdfjkahsdfjkha: no, its /etc/apt/sources.list I'm pretty sure.
[05:37] <Pici> rukuartic, yes, sorry, forgot a directory
[05:37] <rukuartic> Zambezi: What went wrong with your old one?
[05:37] <BenPA> ok let me reboot but I have one more issue
[05:37] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> rukuartic, yeah as soon as I tried it I was like, omgz wtf!!! So I did cd apt and fuond it :P thanks
[05:38] <rukuartic> Pici: :P It doesn't matter.
[05:38] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Break of power probably destoried the harddrive or the installation. Linux won't boot.
[05:38] <Zambezi> rukuartic, So I'm going to try with another graficcard.
[05:38] <dm> anyone know where in beryl i can set the wobly-ness when i move a window?
[05:39] <Pici> dm, i believe its under the animation settings
[05:39] <Zambezi> Cause the one I got is a little bit strange. Now I need to take this computer down so I can take this graficcard and put it in the other.
[05:39] <BenPA> pici .... never mind about the other issue ... it was not shutting down or rebooting there for a minute but now it does
[05:39] <dm> pici checked there : (
[05:40] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Ahhh!
[05:40] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Does Grub start up?
[05:40] <BenPA> pici ... thank you sooooooo much I really appreciate the help you are a "ubuntu life saver"
[05:40] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Yeah. I even tried with a recovery kernel, but that didn't work either.
[05:40] <Pici> BenPA, Sure, no problem
[05:41] <ThePraVa2> ALGXIEN HABLA ESPAOL??

[05:41] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Wait, Grub starts up and you get that little menu with choices?
[05:42] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Yes (when I quick enought to press Esc). ;-)
[05:42] <BenPA> pici ... let pwndmopar know that it does work between the link I sent him and what you told me
[05:42] <ThePraVa2> YHANK YOX
[05:42] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Ah, thats a good sign! Your HD might still be in tact.
[05:42] <rukuartic> !caps
[05:42] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:42] <kameron> can anyone help me to get sound working through tvtime, i have a bt878 chipset tv tuner card.
[05:42] <Pici> I'll let him know
[05:43] <dm> anyone know where in beryl i can set the wobly-ness when i move a window?
[05:43] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Good. I also have problems booting a Live CD. I really would like a new motherboard but it hard to find for socket 478 ATX.
[05:44] <rukuartic> kameron: I don't know how to solve your problem, but I just used a convertor to split a headphone jack to RCA.
[05:44] <rukuartic> Zambezi: =(
[05:44] <_user_> Network-manager-gnome is asking me to create a default-keyring... Does anyone have any info about how it works and if it's safe? (I couldn't find any on the net)
[05:45] <Zambezi> rukuartic, I need to shut down now. Are you still here about an hour?
[05:45] <rukuartic> Zambezi: Can't promise =\
[05:46] <kameron> rukuartic, how is that in the least relevant? and i'm proud of your eighth inch jack > rca skills... you know you can buy a $2 cord for that?
[05:46] <Zambezi> rukuartic, Let's see. I need to shut down now to try to find the error. Thansk for your time.
[05:46] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel i have let that scan for for an hour it got to checking disk integrity and stoped on checling file: ./install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz could this be because i do no have the internet pluged into it?
[05:46] <rukuartic> Zambezi: No problem :3
[05:46] <kameron> rukuartic, i have a CDDA cable from my card to line in on the mobo.
[05:50] <misterme_> How do I install identd? I can't find a package for it
[05:50] <namra> anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot printing problem. Currently, I upgraded from dapper to edgy and now  my officejet 5500 only prints blank pages when clicking on test page button. I've spent a lot of time googling , installing and removing and reinstalling cups, etc. Cups error-log even with level set to debug is uninformative.
[05:52] <noobcook> ive successfully got ATI radeon cards to work under ubuntu with 100% performance open gl and direct x, if anyone wanted to know how just pm me
[05:53] <rukuartic> noobcook: Try writing a tutorial on the forums! People might find it just as useful there, not to mention 24/7 access
[05:54] <noobcook> rukuartic: ok ill see to it when i have time
[05:55] <noobcook> its funny actually i get better fps under linux than windows
[05:55] <bullium> ?
[05:56] <rukuartic> 0:00 EST (in 5 minutes) and alll is weeeellll... ...Except for my FTP server! If anyone has any ideas on how to tweak proftpd to allow /dev/null shell users to log in...
[05:56] <daftman> noobcook: there is no directx with ubuntu
[05:56] <rukuartic> daftman: But there is wine!
[05:56] <daftman> daftman: yea but that's not directx
[05:56] <noobcook> daftman: i mean direct rendering sorry =p
[05:56] <noobcook> miss tell
[05:57] <noobcook> is it safe to run a game in sudo or is it better to chown the director
[05:57] <noobcook> y
[05:59] <EnsignRedshirt> noobcook: Who owns the directory now?
[05:59] <EnsignRedshirt> noobcook: Running a game with sudo doesn't sound like a good idea.
[05:59] <noobcook> EnsignRedshirt: no idea but when i play the game without sudo it cant write files to my hd eg punkbuster updates or map updates
[05:59] <noobcook> alright
[05:59] <Polygon89> Hello, i just upgraded to edgy today and after i installed it (using the live cd, wiped out the root, swap and boot partitions, and reformmated and reinstalled) im getting a "grub error 15: file not found" error when i try to select ubuntu, but the kernel files are in the correct place and i dunno what is wrong. my menu.lst and a link to a picture of my partitons is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1653/
[06:00] <mena> is there a program to make or mount virtul cd
[06:00] <rukuartic> Well here's the facts... If you're on a laptop that only you use, it'll work fine. But speaking as a sysadmin, you should run as little as root as possible.
[06:01] <kitche> mena: mount can mount an iso
[06:01] <Polygon89> noobcook: make sure the game's files are in a directory that you own and have permission to read/write to, then it will be fine
[06:01] <rukuartic> Polygon89: Another workaround fix, You could try using the "Super Grub disk"
[06:01] <mena> kitche, yes
[06:02] <Polygon89> rukuartic, ive tried that in the past and it seems to cause more harm then good. The thing is, i did a fresh REINSTALL, why did the ubuntu installer set up grub wrong???
[06:02] <kitche> mena: mount -o loop /home/<user>/file.iso /mount/point
[06:02] <noobcook> Polygon89: i cant seem to ever get permissions right i even tried chmod 777 and still it doesnt work
[06:02] <mena> kitche, that would mount it automaticly
[06:03] <Polygon89> noobcook: if all else fails, type "gksudo nautilus" or whatever (something different if your running kde or xfce) and then just right click the folder and change the permissions there
[06:03] <mena> kitche, okay i will see
[06:03] <mena> thnaks
[06:03] <Polygon89> noobcook: then close that window as it has root privlages and not good to keep open
[06:03] <noobcook> ok
[06:03] <EnsignRedshirt> noobcook: What is the directory that the game writes to?
[06:04] <noobcook> /usr/local/games/Enemy territory
[06:04] <Polygon89> so simply change the permissions to "enemy territory"
[06:04] <noobcook> and i used brackets when i was trying 2 apply permissions so it doesnt thing the directory is just games/enemy
[06:04] <noobcook> really
[06:04] <noobcook> ok so chmod 754 enemy territory?
[06:04] <Polygon89> and to type spaces in file names
[06:04] <Polygon89> you do \
[06:05] <Polygon89> so it would be like chmod +777 /usr/local/games/Enemy\ Territory
[06:05] <noobcook> ok
[06:05] <EnsignRedshirt> noobcook: ... and file names are case-sensitive, so "Enemy" is not the same as "enemy"
[06:05] <Polygon89> that too
[06:05] <noobcook> ah yeh ok hangon
[06:08] <noobcook> im gona try get F.E.A.R multiplayer to work on linux
[06:08] <Polygon89> noobcook: according to winehq, that is impossible
[06:08] <noobcook> you dont need to use wine =p
[06:08] <noobcook> im not using wine for ET
[06:08] <Polygon89> fear doesnt have a linux port..
[06:08] <noobcook> just linux install hehe
[06:09] <noobcook> ah
[06:09] <noobcook> ohwell
[06:09] <Polygon89> that is the server
[06:09] <Polygon89> sadly
[06:09] <noobcook> any other good free FPS?
[06:09] <rukuartic> noobcook: you can look at "prboom"
[06:09] <noobcook> ok
[06:09] <Polygon89> nexiuz, cube (saurbraten or something)
[06:09] <rukuartic> and apparently Some castle wolfenstien works on linux
[06:09] <rukuartic> You got it right Polygon89
[06:10] <rukuartic> and bzflag.
[06:10] <Rug> noobcook: have you tried "True Combat Elite" mod for ET?
[06:10] <noobcook> yeh rukuartic if i can get Enemy territory to work thats practically the same as wolfenstien
[06:10] <noobcook> Rug nah i havent is it good
[06:10] <seeb> i ve lost C and D on my harddrive on a laptop now replaced by 74Go unallocated ( switched of while restoring a backup withacronis ) does anybody got a tips within ubuntu ?
[06:10] <Rug> noobcook: very
[06:10] <noobcook> Rug: is there online servers for it?
[06:11] <Polygon89> seeb: if you havent already unplug the drive so nothing gets written to it accidently somehow
[06:11] <Polygon89> seeb: and if you just accidently deleted the partitons you should be able to get everything back, as all the data is still there, just the file table is gone
[06:11] <Rug> noobcook: yes several (not as many as ET)  It's based on realism.  D'load mirrors can be found using google, or you can grab it from my site at o2kewl.net
[06:12] <noobcook> http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=52
[06:12] <noobcook> its there
[06:12] <seeb> polygon89 nothing was written on it since that time, live cd only but laptop harddrive :/ not easy to take off ( never tryed )
[06:12] <noobcook> but is there servers i will be able to play on b4 i commit myself to a 450mb dl?
[06:12] <Rug> yes I said
[06:12] <Polygon89> seeb: ah ok, it should be fine as long as nothing gets written to it and you just deleted the partitions
[06:13] <Polygon89> as for recovery programs, im not sure about as the one i tried didnt seem to work
[06:13] <noobcook> alright
[06:13] <noobcook> most anoying thing is downloading a game and only american servers :\
[06:13] <seeb> polygon wich one was it ?
[06:13] <Polygon89> there were a good number of severs when i tried it
[06:13] <noobcook> hey rukuartic is prboom like doom1?
[06:14] <seeb> i've tryed testdisk but he just find the 660Mo from live CD, altought the Disks utilities find everything

[06:15] <efuzzyone> hi, how can i make sure that one user is not able to access/read the directories/files of other?
[06:16] <seeb> but as i'm a totalnoob with linux and harddrive system.. i was justwondering if someone knew kind of trick to repair that http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1651/

[06:16] <Rug> noobcook: thanks
[06:16] <juano_> what can i get to play wma in xmms?
[06:16] <mena> kitche, No i want to remove ubuntu bec i do that and some conflicts happeneds
[06:16] <erg> allo all

[06:16] <mena> kitche, i know what you are man but i want to install kubuntu alone

[06:18] <jbroome> !beryl | erg
[06:18] <ubotu> erg: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl

[06:19] <erg> thank you
[06:19] <Polygon89> what filesystem were they before you deleted it
[06:19] <EnsignRedshirt> efuzzyone: It *is* strange that in these days when everyone is hyper-aware of privacy issues, linux home directories are usually wide open to all other users.
[06:19] <Polygon89> or lost the partiton or whatever
[06:19] <z> probably ext3 right?
[06:20] <Polygon89> ensignredshirt, i think the default is that you cant open other peoples files in their home directories, i tried that today and it said access denied
[06:20] <seeb> polygon89 FAT32
[06:20] <kitche> mena: install it in vmware or qemu
[06:20] <Polygon89> and you just accidently deleted the partitions?
[06:20] <seeb> and yes testdisk could work as many people said nice things about ( plus available insynaptics packets manager)
[06:21] <z> if you accidently deleted the partitions then you're going to start to start all over
[06:21] <mena> kitche, yes so how throw it ^_^ if you would telling me
[06:21] <mena> soryy &tell
[06:21] <juano_> what can i get to play .wma in xmms?
[06:21] <seeb> but ... only one part found the cd boot, might be a way to force the detection but ilm really to novice to understand that
[06:21] <mena> *
[06:21] <pvd2006> hey everyone
[06:21] <z> does anyone have a ppc computer with broadcam wireless and have it working?
[06:21] <mena> kitche, i have vmware
[06:22] <Polygon89> seeb: testdisk seems like an excelent choice
[06:22] <Polygon89> seeb: except, you are going to need another drive
[06:22] <EnsignRedshirt> Polygon89: Actually, it appears that the default is to allow read access.
[06:22] <Polygon89> seeb: hmm, i guess i must of changed something then
[06:22] <Polygon89> err not seeb, ensign
[06:22] <Polygon89> lol
[06:23] <seeb> polygon, i ll explain you, i have a laptop acer with one harddrive and 2 fat 32 parts C and D, then acer laptop have anhidden part for factory reset ( correct ? ) then i've used acronis backup and this one created a new hidden unaccessible part, to store image
[06:23] <seeb> while restauring the image within acronis i had a power failure
[06:23] <seeb> and that's it
[06:23] <EnsignRedshirt> efuzzyone: Here is a less than perfect way to fix this:  In the directory /home, give the command: chmod o-rx userdir
[06:24] <yukonho> z: if it's for a macbook, maybe check out http://desrt.mcmaster.ca/macbook.xhtml
[06:24] <nexact> hello, I've installed slocate and I'm trying to use database of my other server but everytime I'm trying to find a files in it(locate --database=server.db *) it's saying Could not find user database '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db':  No such file or directory... then I did slocate -u.. and redid my command and it's looking in MY database.. not in the one i've specified, someone know why ?
[06:24] <seeb> now i have like an unallocated 74 Go looks like C and D and 2 others stuff that are probably the acer recovery and the acronis recovery
[06:24] <seeb> both exotix format
[06:24] <humblerodent> anyone here have any experience with XGL / Compiz?
[06:24] <z> thanks, but its for a powerbook so I'm running the old architecture
[06:24] <mena> ! vmware
[06:24] <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
[06:24] <seeb> polygon89 i have anusb 300Go that may help for recovery
[06:24] <humblerodent> I have it running, but I'm not getting a lot of features like alt+tab and the desktop cube
[06:25] <z> XGL looks great
[06:25] <Polygon89> seeb: ok that will work, cause your are most likely going to need another hard drive to store all the files that come off of the hard drive that got screwed up
[06:25] <humblerodent> but it seems fine other than that, and I get no errors.  Can anyone help?
[06:25] <z> I don't know how to do it though
[06:25] <EnsignRedshirt> efuzzyone: One reason that that method is less than perfect is that it means a user can't put personal web pages in public_html.  But that only matters if are using that feature of a web server.
[06:25] <Polygon89> seeb: so hook up that hard drive, run testdisk and see if you can get your data back
[06:26] <seeb> Polygon89, i just cant get testdisk detect anything else than the CD boot
[06:26] <seeb> althought, the Disks utility within ubuntu detects everythin,g ?
[06:27] <DaHood2> hello
[06:27] <DaHood2> are 872 people there?
[06:27] <seeb> yep
[06:27] <Polygon89> 871
[06:27] <riotkittie> argh.
[06:27] <DaHood2> cool
[06:27] <seeb> and 823 sleepers
[06:27] <Polygon89> anyway, i dont know anything about testkdisk...
[06:27] <EnsignRedshirt> DaHood2: Now don't go starting some sort of roll call...
[06:27] <DaHood2> i had ubuntu 64 once
[06:27] <DaHood2> for my AMD
[06:28] <DaHood2> worked ok
[06:28] <riotkittie> i was trying to set up cloned screens between my laptop and CRT and gave up because i was getting nowhere. now when i go into gnome from a tty... i am getting two miniature screens on the CRT for a moment
[06:28] <seeb> polygon89 ok then thanks a lot anyway :)
[06:28] <riotkittie> then it goes back to normal
[06:29] <riotkittie> i wonder if i should see this as progress, albeit in a completely useless way
[06:29] <EnsignRedshirt> riotkittie: Are you sure? Maybe you have been sitting in front of the computer too long...
[06:29] <riotkittie> EnsignRedshirt: oh i'm positive :P
[06:29] <Polygon89> anyway,back to MY question, can anyone help me figure out how to solve this "grub error 15: file not found", i just installed edgy from scratch and im getting this error, the kernel file exists and all that (ive checked), here is my menu.lst and partition table: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1653/
[06:30] <riotkittie> ahh. it's like two screens on top, then normal gnome on the bottom. and those two screens are actually this console and irssi. what did i dooooo
[06:31] <mena> kitche, But If i do that the installation would be as from kubuntu cd i mean the installation will be compeletly full
[06:31] <thinh> anyone able to help me with dvi output?
[06:32] <efuzzyone> EnsignRedshirt: thanks, but I am making apache web server read some files from my home directory, will www-data user be able to do that then?

[06:49] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: no, that has nothing to do with the internet
[06:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> omg flannel ur back
[06:49] <juano_> xmms just crashes when i try to play wma
[06:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> sweet
[06:49] <Linky|Lap> had some problems installing beryl and now cant get gdm to come up. it says something about a problem w/ x window. Is there an option similar to Safe Mode in windows so that I can go into Synaptic and uninstall beryl?
[06:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok
[06:49] <amicrawler> then try amarko
[06:49] <Gunslinger|Deags> well it again has froze at that point that leads me to believe its a bad cd
[06:49] <pvd2006> Hmm, so am I doing the right thing with Gparted?  I created a primary/ext3 partion in partion magic. Now I am on the edgy eft installation on the window, "Prepare Mount Points" and I see that I have /hdc2(which is the primary/ext3 partition I created for ubuntu) as / to be root and I have my /hdc5 which is my linux swap partition. When I goto hit foward I get the error, "! No root file system"
[06:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> but i dont see how it could be it checks out on those numbers
[06:50] <arrenlex> Gunslinger|Deags: What problem are you having?
[06:50] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok
[06:50] <mneptok> Gunslinger|Deags: "it just hangs" is *far* too general. where does it hang? what error messages do you get? what did Madpilot do to help you? does the LiveCD work? etc etc etc

[06:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> i have narrowed it down to a cd error but every cd i put in there cant have the error especially if they r good cds
[06:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> so then its suposidly a hardware issue
[06:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> but it cant be a hardware issue because windows works just fine on it
[06:51] <Gunslinger|Deags> so i am completely confused
[06:52] <pvd2006> What does lba stand for in gparted?
[06:52] <Gunslinger|Deags> i have to see my g\f out ill brb
[06:52] <Linky|Lap> Is there a boot option similar to window's Safe Mode so that I can boot into an unbootable ubuntu and uninstall the problem application?
[06:53] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: You can try single user mode (aka recovery mode) for a command line, or boot from the liveCD.
[06:53] <bruenig> recovery mode?
[06:53] <Vaske_Car> any good channel for laptop repairs?
[06:54] <mneptok> Gunslinger|Deags: "it cant be a hardware issue because windows works just fine on it" is a GIANT logical fallacy ;)
[06:54] <Linky|Lap> I'm not particularly savvy in command line. How would the liveCD help? Would that let me run synaptic to uninstall the program?
[06:54] <daftman> need help with talkd
[06:54] <daftman> anyone here knows anything about it?
[06:54] <noobcook> whats the command for copying a directory to another directory
[06:54] <Linky|Lap> better yet, is there a command that will do an uninstall, not just an rm?
[06:54] <Julio> hola!!!

[06:55] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: Synaptic might be a problem. Do you know how to use apt? You could mount it from the liveCD and chroot into it, but you would have problems running GUI applications from inside a chroot (not impossible, but definitely difficult)

[06:56] <Linky|Lap> i can get to one, yes
[06:56] <pvd2006> with gparted
[06:57] <Linky|Lap> I just dont know enough about CL to know what to do w/ it :)
[06:57] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: Then use apt to remove the problem package. apt-get remove <package>

[07:03] <Shaezsche> arrenlex ive created shell scripts, but for some reason when i use "sudo" they dont work
[07:04] <Shaezsche> they dont ask me for a root password
[07:04] <wastrel> use gksudo for gui type thing
[07:04] <jbroome> the iceman leftuth
[07:04] <Shaezsche> wastrel will it ask me for root pass? because im launching it as a nonroot user
[07:04] <arrenlex> Shaezsche: When you use sudo from the command line, it asks you your password in the command line. When you run it from the GUI, there is no stdout to ask you for a password, so the scripts hang expecting a response which will never come. Use gtksu instead of sudo for a graphical password prompt.
[07:04] <Shaezsche> oh ok thank you
[07:04] <Shaezsche> got it
[07:05] <z6> nice
[07:05] <arrenlex> Shaezsche: Or else add a line to your sudoers file permitting you to execute that particular command without needing a password. It's only one line; I can give you the syntax if you want.
[07:05] <Shaezsche> ok
[07:05] <nomasteryoda|w> ok, anyone have a simple method to get rid of the nm-applet keys password
[07:05] <z6> i need a little help
[07:05] <arrenlex> Shaezsche: Is that an "ok, I would like it" or "ok, that is interesting infromation"?
[07:05] <arrenlex> !ask | z6
[07:05] <nomasteryoda|w> that is annoying with only one LAN
[07:05] <ubotu> z6: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:05] <Linky|Lap> arrenlex apt-get remove worked. its gone, but xwindow still wont let me boot into a gui. the error I get is that there are "No Devices detected" in the xorg.conf file.
[07:06] <Shaezsche> lets see the syntax
[07:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> how is that a fallacy if somethinf works then it obviously isnt broken now i can understand wgat ur saying ssomewhat but at the same time i dont consider something broken until it plain dont work  mneptok
[07:06] <makuseru> whats the name of the ubuntu distro that uses xfce?
[07:06] <Linky|Lap> xubuntu
[07:06] <z6> ok,................ for some reason my cdrom is reading data cd's no problem, but if i put in an audio cd it doesnt read
[07:06] <Gunslinger|Deags> either way i just wanna get this fixed i have class today in about 14 hours and i have to have a working laptop for class
[07:06] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: Do you have any backups in /etc/X11/?
[07:06] <Shaezsche> arrenlex id like the syntax
[07:07] <ScreaminIke> OMG. things worked fine on  a RAW install of ubuntu. just booted up after my FIRST AND ONLY set of upgrades, and my video output maxes at 800x600. my monitor isn't taking it very nicely (it's a flat panel)... and i have an ati 2k6 all in wonder. any ideas?
[07:07] <cookthis> anyone know how i can get louder volume in ubuntu lol
[07:07] <cookthis> its set to madx
[07:07] <cookthis> and its not very
[07:07] <Linky|Lap> arrenlex not sure. I never made any. This is my first time using ubuntu, so i still dont know all of the good habits yet
[07:07] <Linky|Lap> lemme look...
[07:07] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: It may have been made for you.
[07:07] <Linky|Lap> that would be lucky..

[07:08] <mena> ANy One know Hoh To Use vmware player
[07:08] <mena> to install kubuntu through it
[07:08] <Shaezsche> how can i set ubuntu not to activate my eth1 unless i execute ifup eth1
[07:08] <Shaezsche> so when it loads gdm it is down
[07:08] <pvd2006> ANyone know when Ebuntu is going to come out? Elightment 17 based Ubuntu
[07:08] <HymnToLife> mena, vmware player can't be used to create VMs
[07:08] <nomasteryoda|w> !vmware | mena
[07:08] <ubotu> mena: 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
[07:08] <HymnToLife> use vmware server for that
[07:09] <Flannel> pvd2006: that's not an official project, so you'd have to ask whomever is actually working on it
[07:09] <nomasteryoda|w> i'm installing mine now...
[07:09] <z6> anyone know how to get my cdrom to read audio cd's,........it has no problem reading data cds
[07:09] <pvd2006> well is it pretty easy to get E17 running on Ubuntu through apt-get?
[07:09] <pvd2006> with a theme
[07:09] <Flannel> pvd2006: ubuntu currently only includes e16, I believe.
[07:09] <arrenlex> z6: You'd need a program to play them.
[07:10] <mena> HymnToLife, okay so what to do if i dont have a witer and i wont to install kubuntu with frsh install to remove all ubuntu
[07:10] <bruenig> z6, are you saying that the cdrom isn't reading it or that you can't figure out how to play them?
[07:10] <memo_> how many ubuntu users be in the world?
[07:10] <wastrel> Shaezsche:  remove 'auto eth1' from /etc/network/interfaces
[07:10] <z6> its not reading it
[07:10] <bruenig> z6, what is the name of your drive? /dev/hdc?
[07:10] <Shaezsche> should i replace auto with something else? or just delete the line entirely
[07:10] <z6> it has an icon that says noread
[07:10] <Flannel> pvd2006: ah, right.  e17 won't be put into the repositories until it's released, I imagine.
[07:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel do u have any other ideas on what to do cause to be honest im about to give up
[07:10] <HymnToLife> memo_, who knows ?
[07:10] <Flannel> pvd2006: ubuntu includes the latest stable release, however
[07:11] <wastrel> Shaezsche:  you can comment the line out with a # at the beginning
[07:11] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: it sounds like a bad burn, honestly.  You can try doing a cdless install.
[07:11] <HymnToLife> It's not like they put some spyware in Ubuntu to count people that use it :p
[07:11] <Flannel> !install | Gunslinger|Deags
[07:11] <ubotu> Gunslinger|Deags: 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
[07:11] <Shaezsche> ok and if i execute "sudo ifup eth1" it will work ?
[07:11] <wastrel> or just remove it
[07:11] <Linky|Lap> arrenlex /etc doesn't have an x11 folder\
[07:11] <mena> HymnToLife, okay so no way except burning cd
[07:11] <wastrel> yes
[07:11] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: has a bunch of methods
[07:11] <Shaezsche> thanks
[07:11] <balaco> I am having  trouble getting my LCD TV to work as my monitor. My TV reports that it is receiving a 1366x768 signal which is the native resolution of my television and is the resolution I would like it to use. But, instead of displaying a widescreen signal it displays a 4:3 signal and adds black bars to the sides which make up the rest of the 1366x768 signal. Whats wierder is that in "Display Settings" in Ubuntu it claims that I am outputt
[07:11] <pvd2006> oh e17 hasnt been released?
[07:11] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: since, you don't have any more CDs, if I remember correctly
[07:11] <wastrel> Linky|Lap:  X11   not x11
[07:11] <naknomik> Is there a way to automatically update security packages released for ubuntu?
[07:11] <pvd2006> maybe im thinking of the wrong version
[07:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> wow good memory i apreciate that alot
[07:12] <HymnToLife> mena, why don't you just apt-get kubuntu-desktop ?
[07:12] <Linky|Lap> wastrel thx =\
[07:12] <z6> ya its /dev/hdc
[07:12] <bruenig> z6, what is the name of your drive?
[07:12] <pvd2006> does e16 look really clean like e17?
[07:12] <Linky|Lap> beautiful, theres a backup copy
[07:12] <pvd2006> I guess ill look it up on google images
[07:12] <Rappermas> how can someone open port 80 manually?
[07:12] <Flannel> pvd2006: I imagine you mean e17, we get that a lot.  e17 is a total rewrite.  but it's still in development
[07:12] <bruenig> z6, ok well try this just to see if it is reading it, dd if=/dev/hdc of=cd.iso
[07:12] <Flannel> Rappermas: er, what are you trying to do? listen with apache?
[07:13] <Rappermas> it's another web server
[07:13] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: Move your current xorg.conf to something like xorg.conf.broken just in case, and them move your backup to xorg.conf
[07:13] <Rappermas> and it needs to be run as a regular user
[07:13] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: and try starting X with the startx command.
[07:13] <Rappermas> and regular user can only use ports above 1024
[07:13] <Flannel> Rappermas: that webserver will open/listen to port 80.  You don't need to do anything manually
[07:13] <mena> HymnToLife. i am already fo thatand i had alot of conflicts with both of them
[07:13] <Linky|Lap> whats the command to copy a file?
[07:13] <Flannel> Linky|Lap: cp
[07:13] <Rappermas> It gets a listening error
[07:13] <Linky|Lap> thx
[07:13] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: In case you don't know, the mv command cam be used to move or rename files. You'd want "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.broken" and then "sudo mv xorg.conf.bak xorg.conf"
[07:13] <mena> HymnToLife, so i want fresh install
[07:13] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: cp instead of mv will copy.
[07:13] <Rappermas> nmap shows 80 is closed
[07:13] <Gunslinger|Deags> i dont see thediskless install what would it be called
[07:13] <Gunslinger|Deags> netboot?
[07:14] <Flannel> Rappermas: why does it need to be run as a regular user?
[07:14] <bruenig> Gunslinger|Deags, there is none
[07:14] <Rappermas> that's something even I don't understand
[07:14] <mena> HymnToLife, ((correction)) i am already do that and ))*
[07:14] <Rappermas> it refuses to run as superuser
[07:14] <z6> ok it says 0+0 records in, 0+0 records out
[07:14] <Gunslinger|Deags> err someone just told me their was
[07:14] <bruenig> Gunslinger|Deags, well there may be a way to do it with some other distro like debian but not from ubuntu offical stuff
[07:14] <Rappermas> i'm thinking that I just need to change iptables
[07:14] <Flannel> Rappermas: and, why don't you just use apache?
[07:15] <mneptok> Rappermas: what httpd?
[07:15] <Rappermas> exploring new software
[07:15] <Rappermas> It's called the  Abyss Web Server
[07:15] <bruenig> z6, so it didn't work? there isn't a file called cd.iso in the home folder
[07:15] <Rappermas> Tiny footprint ~ 350 K
[07:15] <Rappermas> so i was thinking...perfect for my PIII
[07:15] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: each of them has a little description of what you'd need for those particular ones.  Find one that works for what you've got
[07:15] <mneptok> Rappermas: use tthttpd ;)
[07:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> ahhh
[07:15] <Flannel> Rappermas: apache runs fine on a P3
[07:15] <jdsanderson> ? anyone know about the server version ?
[07:15] <Rappermas> yeah, i know it does
[07:15] <Flannel> jdsanderson: what about it?
[07:15] <z6> strange
[07:15] <Rappermas> and i've run it
[07:15] <Rappermas> it's great
[07:16] <Rappermas> i was just wondering how to open port 80
[07:16] <Rappermas> i mean, i can run this thing on 8000
[07:16] <z6> here's the complete readout dd: reading `/dev/hdc': Input/output error
[07:16] <z6> 0+0 records in
[07:16] <z6> 0+0 records out
[07:16] <z6> 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.00308388 seconds, 0.0 kB/s
[07:16] <Flannel> Rappermas: you don't.  The program does.
[07:16] <balaco>  I am having  trouble getting my LCD TV to work as my monitor.

[07:16] <Linky|Lap> nice. I have gui
[07:16] <bruenig> z6, you are sure it is /dev/hdc? and you are sure that the cd is good?
[07:16] <jdsanderson> i loaded it up and the hunk of thing just boots and boots and boots
[07:16] <Rappermas> see, there should be a ACL that can be put in that punches the firewall open for port 80 though
[07:16] <arrenlex> z6: What are you trying to do?
[07:16] <Linky|Lap> rebooting to check...
[07:16] <Flannel> jdsanderson: the CD? or what?
[07:17] <mneptok> Rappermas: sudo aptitude install thttpd
[07:17] <arrenlex> Linky|Lap: Don't reboot. Run startx as regular user.
[07:17] <mneptok> Rappermas: done. ;)
[07:17] <Rappermas> mneptok: what is that?
[07:17] <z6> just trying to get it to read a normal cd, it has no problems on data cd's
[07:17] <Rappermas> just wondering....
[07:17] <mneptok> Rappermas: Tiny/Throttled HTTPD
[07:17] <Rappermas> gotcha, i'll have to try that one
[07:17] <Gunslinger|Deags> hey flannel i have a mini cd i could burn on would the minimal install work on that do u think lol? i really dont wanna waste my last mini cd but it would be worth it
[07:17] <mneptok> Rappermas: trust me, it will run on a P3.

[07:22] <Flannel> Gunslinger|Deags: you can get xubuntu by... using the ubuntu mini iso, installing a "server" at the prompt (which is different than a "server ISO") then once you're done installing, logging in, and `sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop`
[07:22] <bruenig> z6, is that where it is mounting?
[07:22] <Marlun> Another question, is there a application that supports video chat that I can use on linux to communicate with people that uses Windows?

[07:23] <z6> lemme try that
[07:24] <Marlun> Flannel: and which windows software can someone use to communicate with me then?
[07:24] <Flannel> Marlun: um, a long list.  MS Netmeeting is one of them

[07:28] <Ayabara> hmm. 'can't open /dev/dsp: Permission denied'. Should I need to set permissions, or is something holding up my /dev/dsp. How can I find out?
[07:29] <DBO> make sure you are in the audio group
[07:29] <adub> well what is the program that is equivalent to the skull and crossbones of kde
[07:29] <Ayabara> DBO, how?
[07:29] <DBO> Ayabara, run the "groups" command from a terminal
[07:30] <arrenlex> adub: xkill
[07:30] <midolaas>  anyone
[07:30] <arrenlex> adub: Which is probably what you were seeing in kde anyway. It's a part of X.
[07:30] <midolaas> is there  a way for me to  boot  the lvm?
[07:30] <Ayabara> DBO, should I see audio as part of the output? (I don't)
[07:30] <DBO> sudo usermod -Gaudio <username>   <--- run that command Ayabara
[07:31] <adub> oh cool arrenlex
[07:31] <n2diy> midolaas: what was your question, I just got in here?
[07:31] <adub> oh heck yeah arrenlex thanks that is what i was seeing exactly
[07:31] <Flannel> DBO, Ayabara, you want an -a in there too
[07:31] <adub> i just assume launch from a command line
[07:31] <arrenlex> Crap. Someone remind me not to try xkill on the IRC window. >_<
[07:31] <adub> pimp status i like it!!!
[07:31] <Flannel> midolaas: yes, but it's complicated
[07:31] <amicrawler> how do i modprobe my pci cards again?
[07:31] <DBO> Flannel, ahhh yes =P
[07:32] <Ayabara> DBO: usermod: <username> not found in /etc/passwd
[07:32] <DBO> Ayabara, what is your username...
[07:32] <Ayabara> anr
[07:32] <Ayabara> I wrote anr
[07:32] <n2diy> midolaas: never mind, I see Flannel is helping you.
[07:32] <amicrawler> how do i modprobe my pci cards again?
[07:32] <imperfect-> Anyone have any idea how I turn a ipw2200 wireless device on under edgy"/
[07:32] <Ayabara> usermod: anr not found in /etc/passwd
[07:32] <imperfect-> It'skicking my ass
[07:32] <nexis> hello
[07:32] <humblerodent>  okay, well.  I got compiz working great now
[07:33] <nexis> i am trying to install dosbox but cannot find it in synaptic
[07:33] <humblerodent>  using the gandalf packages
[07:33] <nexis> anyone know why?
[07:33] <humblerodent> EXCEPT for one thing.  Within a few minutes of using compiz, my window borders always just disappear.  I can get them back by turning the GL desktop off and back on again, but that's a butt pain.  Anybody know what's causing that?  Thanks in advance
[07:33] <wastrel> ipw2200 Just Works for me in edgy
[07:33] <DBO> Ayabara, sudo usermod -a audio anr
[07:33] <Flannel> nexis: you need to enable universe
[07:33] <arrenlex> nexis: it's in universe
[07:33] <Ayabara> DBO, don't know why I substituted anr with <username> in what I wrote you. Seemed a good idea at the time :)
[07:33] <arrenlex> humblerodent: compiz crashing.
[07:33] <Flannel> DBO: no no, -a and -G
[07:33] <humblerodent> nexis, you probably don't have the right repos configured.  Either add some repos (look around on the internet for some good ones) and then run "apt-get update", or just download a package manually.
[07:33] <amicrawler> how do i modprobe my pci cards
[07:33] <wastrel> imperfect-:  what's not working?
[07:33] <arrenlex> humblerodent: Compiz is a window manager. It draws those borders. If your windows don't have decorations, your manager died.
[07:34] <humblerodent> arrenlex, I don't really think so.  I don't lose any functionality of compiz at all, except for the window borders.
[07:34] <midolaas> n2diy, I want  to boot a system now running on LVM filesystem
[07:34] <arrenlex> humblerodent: What functionality?
[07:34] <nexis> Flannel: how do i do that?
[07:34] <Ayabara> DBO, don't work. could it be that the audio group doesn't exist?
[07:34] <Flannel> !universe | nexis

[07:34] <humblerodent> arrenlex, the cube, the cool alt+tab, all those nifty effects.
[07:34] <n2diy> midolaas: sorry, I don't know.
[07:34] <amicrawler> how do i probe all my devices?
[07:34] <DBO> Flannel, you dont need the -a or the -G together...
[07:34] <DBO> -G is enough
[07:35] <arrenlex> humblerodent: You know best. I'm not familiar with xgl\compiz. Sorry
[07:35] <Flannel> DBO: -G is groups, -a is required, or you remove all groups you don't explicitly state in -G
[07:35] <Flannel> DBO: -a is for append
[07:35] <DBO> ahhhhhh mmmm
[07:35] <humblerodent> arrenlex, oh, okay....thanks for trying, anyhow.
[07:35] <DBO> you know what... you're right
[07:35] <DBO> Im sorry
[07:35] <midolaas> Flannel, How is that possible?
[07:35] <humblerodent> and, just for the record....I don't claim to "know best" X_X in fact, I'm pretty inexperienced....
[07:35] <Anders> Hello :)
[07:35] <Flannel> midolaas: with /boot on LVM, booting is complicated, and... messy.  Requiring a small kernel you boot to, and then re-boot into linux on your LVM
[07:36] <DBO> Flannel, Im not quite used to working with those, I tend to just modify the files...
[07:36] <DBO> Ayabara, in /etc/group do you see the entry for audio, is your name listed after the final ":"
[07:37] <midolaas> Flannel, the LVM  is accessible through my other partition
[07:37] <adub> is there a program like netstumbler with a really nice GUI based with really accurate access point power strength
[07:37] <Flannel> midolaas: What?
[07:38] <pvd2006> something weird is going on. I went to do an update on edgy Eft and it got to like capplets and just started acting really weird.
[07:38] <Ayabara> DBO, no it isn't. I logon to the network with the username anr. the only user in audio is 'Anders', my name that I used when installing ubuntu
[07:38] <Ayabara> starts to make sense now :)
[07:38] <pvd2006> is capplets-data suppose to take a long time to setup?
[07:39] <DBO> Ayabara, indeed, you need to have your user added to that group as well
[07:39] <Ayabara> DBO, logon to the network -> I use network logon at work
[07:39] <mena> No way to install kubuntu eexcept burning or use the terminal through ubuntu ......No Idea
[07:39] <midolaas> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1657/
[07:39] <DBO> Ayabara, is this your machine or your work machine?
[07:40] <Ayabara> DBO, work machine. I never use the Anders account. should I just do a replace Anders with anr.
[07:40] <Ayabara> ?
[07:40] <DBO> dont replace it, just add a comma after it then put anr
[07:40] <DBO> so audio:x:###:Anders,anr
[07:41] <Ayabara> DBO: ok
[07:41] <Flannel> midolaas: and... what's your question?
[07:41] <pvd2006> well it looks like the little taskbar on the bottom of ubuntu has crashed
[07:41] <pvd2006> how do I clear it out and restart
[07:42] <pvd2006> well the top and bottom bars are locked up
[07:42] <pvd2006> actualyl
[07:43] <adub> is there a program like netstumbler with a really nice GUI based with really accurate access point power strength
[07:43] <Ayabara> DBO: now the player plays, but I still don't hear sound. When I try to open my volume control it says "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[07:43] <phu> hi
[07:43] <midolaas> Flannel,
[07:43] <arrenlex> !hi | phu
[07:43] <ubotu> phu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:43] <marither> did anybody from here have tried installing crossover?
[07:43] <Ayabara> DBO, thanks for the help reaching milestone 1 ;)
[07:44] <phu> anyway to move the whole debian testing dist APT packages to a offline server
[07:44] <DBO> Ayabara, check the other groups your Anders user is in and add yourself to those as well
[07:44] <pvd2006> I dont know how to log off without the task bars?
[07:44] <pvd2006> can anyone help?
[07:44] <midolaas> is there any way I can add an entry in my current system  grub
[07:44] <midolaas> to point to  the kernel in  the lvm?
[07:44] <Ayabara> DBO, I have added myself to all of them in /etc/Group
[07:44] <Flannel> midolaas: You have / on lvm? or /boot on lvm?
[07:44] <phu> I want to have all the apt packages from debian testing dist to be available from my LAN server
[07:45] <arrenlex> phu: there are over 15490 packages. Are you quite certain you want to do this?
[07:45] <pvd2006> the little red button isnt working
[07:45] <Flannel> pvd2006: ctrl-alt-esc will restart X, which will work
[07:45] <Taime1> how do i check my cpu temp?
[07:45] <marither> can anyone help me install crossover in linux?
[07:45] <phu> we have an isolated network with 30 machines each with unprotected wireless radio
[07:45] <mneptok> phu: Google apt-cacher
[07:46] <DBO> Ayabara, if you run alsamixer does it show you your settings?
[07:46] <pvd2006> Flannel, its not working
[07:46] <pvd2006> flannel, its just making my screen move around a bit
[07:46] <Taime1> i installed crossover once, i think it just ran right off the cd
[07:46] <Flannel> phu: apt-mirror
[07:46] <Ayabara> DBO, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[07:46] <Taime1> (the installer that is)
[07:46] <Flannel> phu: http://apt-mirror.sourceforge.net/  and this is #ubuntu, just... so you know ;)
[07:46] <marither> taimel, where did you install crossover? what type of linux?
[07:46] <phu> ok
[07:46] <phu> thanks
[07:46] <DBO> Ayabara, and what about sudo alsamixer?
[07:47] <Taime1> it was mepis
[07:47] <Taime1> years ago tho...
[07:47] <Taime1> i know i hated it
[07:47] <Taime1> sorry...
[07:47] <midolaas> Flannel /
[07:47] <marither> taimel, you think it will run in ubuntu 6.06/6.10?
[07:47] <pvd2006> well I think I have to do a cold reboot with ubuntu:-\
[07:48] <Ayabara> DBO, that worked
[07:48] <Flannel> midolaas: and you have /boot on a separate partition? or inside of that root?
[07:48] <DBO> Ayabara, its a permissions problem somewhere
[07:48] <DBO> Ayabara, can you do "cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp" and get some noise?
[07:48] <Taime1> im sure it will... mepis is debian based, and now its a fork off ubuntu
[07:48] <DBO> (it will be a burst of white noise)
[07:48] <Taime1> so yeah...
[07:48] <midolaas> but there is another  /boot
[07:48] <midolaas> on my current partition
[07:48] <midolaas> my  current partition is on hdb1
[07:49] <Flannel> midolaas: the kernel you're trying to boot to. is that in /boot on your lvm?
[07:49] <midolaas> while the lvm is on  hdb3
[07:49] <midolaas> Flannel, yes
[07:49] <Flannel> midolaas: you cannot boot to a lvm
[07:49] <marither> taimel, is it easy to install? or should i still need to configure from the terminal?
[07:49] <Ayabara> DBO, it gave only silence. cat /dev/random alone gave noise
[07:50] <Flannel> midolaas: or escuse me, it's not easy booting to a lvm.  (you can't boot straight to it, but you can boot to a ramdisk, then boot to the lvm)
[07:50] <Taime1> how do i check my cpu temp?
[07:50] <DBO> Ayabara, can you give me the output of ls -l /dev | grep audio
[07:50] <DBO> in pastebin please
[07:50] <DBO> Ayabara, also, can you run your music player as root real quick to verify it can play music

[07:58] <amicrawler> what are wireless extions?

[07:59] <tux> DBO, dats nice of you] 
[07:59] <Flannel> momerath616: correct.  32 to 64 bit isn't an easy 'upgrade
[07:59] <momerath616> well poop
[07:59] <Flannel> momerath616: mind you, you can keep your homedir and all your data

[07:59] <Ayabara> out->our
[08:00] <momerath616> Flannel: how do i do that?
[08:00] <DBO> Ayabara, I cant know for sure but thats just a first impression
[08:00] <Flannel> momerath616: um, in the Desktop installer, I'm not entirely sure.  You'd mark it to "use" that (existing) partition, but not reformat it (just mount it)
[08:00] <polygry> any ideas? I think I installed everything correctly.  Ubuntu works OK the menu.lst file looks ok as well
[08:00] <midolaas> Flannel, I  had problem when upgrading the  dapper
[08:00] <momerath616> I'll see if I can get it to work
[08:01] <momerath616> Thanks for the advice

[08:02] <Flannel> midolaas: er, so you reformatted the dapper FS? so it doesn't exist anymore

[08:05] <Flannel> juano: no idea.  I have no audio, and thus, don't have the uh, 'pleasure' of dealing with audio issues ;)
[08:05] <arrenlex> youdonotexist: Your message got cut off at "(and the Vis"
[08:05] <arrenlex> youdonotexist: The answer to your first question is that grub is installed on the master boot record of the permanent drive.
[08:05] <juano> Flannel: ok, thanks
[08:05] <youdonotexist>  (And the Vista MBR shows Vista as being the only OS installed)  *
[08:05] <polygry> pls help! I can't get XP to load after installing Ubuntu.  It's listed in the GRUB loader but everytime I try to run XP, the system seems to reboot to the GRUB menu
[08:06] <jbinder> youdonotexist: is this a release candidate of vista?
[08:06] <jbinder> or beta
[08:06] <exelan> what is the name of the distro based on gentoo that is italian for something??   Starts with an S'
[08:06] <exelan> ....  has beryl built into it
[08:06] <youdonotexist> jbinder:  It's a legit version of Enterprise.
[08:06] <Flannel> polygry: pastebin your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst) along with the layout of your drives
[08:06] <jbinder> youdonotexist: oh
[08:06] <toulouse> hey do  you guys know how to get a joystick working as a mouse?
[08:06] <jbinder> youdonotexist: ultimate?
[08:06] <Flannel> exelan: #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:06] <jbinder> solaris?
[08:06] <wastrel> youdonotexist:  grub is installed on the MBR of the internal hard drive, so will always be the boot manager for your computer, regardless of the status of your external drive
[08:07] <wastrel> i guess i lied about not being able to answer that
[08:07] <_james> how to know if what linux image im using? im about to install nvidia driver and it needs to install the linux-image ... help anyone?
[08:07] <Flannel> youdonotexist: lilo might be a better choice, if you'll be swapping HDs like that, it's a single stage loader (it doesn't need to beable to find /boot)
[08:07] <DARKGuy> Anybody knows why when I'm just running: 2 icewm instances (one for each display), idesk, kate, 2 xterms and swiftfox, apt-get stuff says: dpkg: Error reordering: 'fork' failed: Cannot allocate memory <- like, WTF ?

[08:08] <cookthis> !flood
[08:08] <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)
[08:08] <toulouse> hey, anyone know how to get a joystick working as a mouse???
[08:08] <jbinder> youdonotexist: oh
[08:08] <DARKGuy> whoah
[08:08] <jbinder> Seveas: yay
[08:08] <jbinder> lol
[08:08] <DARKGuy> thanks - and poor guy =(
[08:08] <youdonotexist> Thanks for your input.  It's good to see a helpful irc channel for once.
[08:09] <Seveas> polygry, hey. There's 876 people in here who are not interested in your flooding
[08:09] <jbinder> polygry: you can't flood like that.
[08:09] <jbinder> polygry: btw, if you are talking right now, we can't see what you are writing
[08:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> im totally fed i guess man
[08:09] <shoby> yo
[08:09] <arrenlex> Gunslinger|Deags: What exactly is your problem?
[08:09] <Gunslinger|Deags> flannel i tried that mini disk and its on configring and its been sitting here for about 3 or 4 min
[08:10] <polygry> sorry...what's pastebin
[08:10] <jbinder> lol
[08:10] <Gunslinger|Deags> well my problem right now arrenlex is that i can install windows but i cant install ubuntu
[08:10] <toulouse> hey guys, how do i get a joystick working as a mouse
[08:10] <midolaas> Flannel, nevermind I figured out how to do  it myself
[08:10] <DARKGuy> Alright, repeating myself again xD -> Anybody knows why when I'm just running: 2 icewm instances (one for each display), idesk, kate, 2 xterms and swiftfox, apt-get stuff says: dpkg: Error reordering: 'fork' failed: Cannot allocate memory <- like, WTF ? I have 256Mb RAM anda 768Mb swap partition (which doesn't seem to be used at all -_-', or I have the wrong concept on how that partition should be/is used)
[08:10] <jbinder> polygry: http://www.rafb.net/paste
[08:10] <midolaas> thanks anyway
[08:10] <arrenlex> polygry: A pastebin is a website where you upload things you have to paste, and then paste the link in the channel, so we can go to that website and see it.
[08:10] <jbinder> polygry: paste that long shit in there
[08:10] <jbinder> and give us the URL
[08:10] <arrenlex> polygry: To avoid pasting a 100 line file in the busy channel, you simply paste a link to the upload.
[08:11] <arrenlex> polygry: It is, in a way, a "bin" in which one puts "pastes" that are useful and\or delicious, and others open this bin to see these pastes, and\or eat them.
[08:11] <DARKGuy> ew
[08:11] <khermans> is there a way to turn off the security features in Edgy, such as Address Space Layout Randomization and Stack Smashing protections?
[08:11] <polygry> flannel: http://rafb.net/p/FenAaZ35.html
[08:12] <Flannel> polygry: and,w here is your windows partition? Primary Master?
[08:12] <Taime1> ubuntu edgy doesnt come with a preconfigured firewall?
[08:12] <pitti> khermans: why in the world would you want to do that?
[08:13] <khermans> pitti, for testing purposes
[08:13] <pitti> khermans: you can disable ASLR in /proc and need to rebuild packages with -fno-stack-protector to disable SSP
[08:13] <ogie> is there anyone on that's had a problem with ubuntu rebooting after an instal at the point where it says that it's starting up
[08:13] <polygry> flannel: drive layout: http://rafb.net/p/dJn1px13.html
[08:13] <ogie> and knows how to fix it?
[08:13] <pvd2006> Are there a few ways to speed up Ubuntu edgy eft
[08:13] <moocowmoocowmoo> is it normal to have a steady stream of blocked connections in firestarter?
[08:13] <Flannel> Taime1: firewalls are an essential part of the linux kernel
[08:13] <pvd2006> like cant you turn off nautilus or something
[08:13] <Flannel> !firestarter | Taime1
[08:13] <ubotu> Taime1: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:13] <pvd2006> !nautilus
[08:13] <ubotu> nautilus: file manager and graphical shell for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 586 kB, installed size 1424 kB
[08:13] <polygry> flannel: yes
[08:14] <pitti> khermans: echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space *should* work
[08:14] <DARKGuy> pvd2006: you can, use other desktop manager / window manager such as XFCE, IceWM, KDE, Fluxbox, etc.
[08:14] <Flannel> polygry: how far does windows get before rebooting?
[08:14] <Taime1> is there a gui in edgy for my firewall?
[08:14] <Flannel> !firestarter | Taime1
[08:14] <ubotu> Taime1: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:14] <wastrel> !firestarter | Taime1
[08:15] <wastrel> ah late on the draw :] 
[08:15] <moocowmoocowmoo> i've been running firestarter for just an hour or so and i already have over 20 blocked connection attempts is this normal?
[08:15] <Schminux> I wrote a simple scrip[t to enable WEP on my wireless card... it works fine from console (using sudo first).  If I want to run it at login for all users, can I call the script from /etc/init.d/rc.local or can I just copy lines from script to rc.local (assuming that is correct file/location)?
[08:15] <wastrel> as usual
[08:15] <polygry> flannel: it goes to a typical error screen saying windows did not reboot properly....with options for safe mode...normal...etc.
[08:15] <juano> Flannel: im not able to make a script startup on user X start, ive put it in /etc/init.d with +x permission
[08:15] <adri_> guys i am trying to install ubuntu on my dad's computer, a pentium 3 660 mhz 128mb ram pc, anyways the problem is not ubuntu (as far as I know), but as mufch as I change the boot sequence, it still doesn't boot from the cd-rom, anyone know what's wrong?
[08:16] <ogie> anyone else have a problem with ubuntu reloading after it gets to the screen where it says it's starting up
[08:16] <Flannel> polygry: ah, Grub works fine then.  Windows boots normally, and... that's a windows issue, completely irrelevant of linux.
[08:16] <Taime1> my question is actually, is there a gui that ships with edgy eft? or do i need to install one?
[08:16] <arrenlex> Taime1: Of course there iis. Gnome.
[08:16] <adri_> Taime1, you probably accidentally got the server version
[08:16] <arrenlex> ...what's mode z? o_O
[08:16] <adri_> Taime1, if that's the case, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:16] <wastrel> Taime1:  i don't believe firestarter is installed by default
[08:16] <adri_> anyone, please? I'm pretty desperate
[08:16] <polygry> flannel: It happened after I installed linux, what can I do now to get XP working again?
[08:17] <Taime1> thank you watrel
[08:17] <Flannel> arrenlex: Zuper Operator!
[08:17] <ogie> anyone have any ideas?
[08:17] <Taime1> wastrel*
[08:17] <Flannel> polygry: I have no idea.  Try booting up completely,then shutting down properly?
[08:17] <adri_> wow no one has any idea?
[08:17] <DARKGuy> Sorry for repeating again =( -> Anybody knows why when I'm just running: icewm x2, idesk, kate, xterm x2 and swiftfox, apt-get stuff says: dpkg: Error reordering: 'fork' failed: Cannot allocate memory <- like, WTF ? I have 256Mb RAM anda 768Mb swap partition (which doesn't seem to be used at all -_-', or I have the wrong concept on how that partition should be/is used). I also tried running Maya 7 and it also complains about the lack of memory (3Mb free 
[08:17] <adri_> :(
[08:17] <wastrel> Taime1:  in fact, firestarter is in the Universe repository, which isn't even enabled by default.
[08:17] <arrenlex> Flannel: Ah, zee operateur vees ze zuper powerz, oui? Zat makes, ow you zay, zenze.
[08:17] <Schminux> firestarter not installed by default in Dapper
[08:17] <juano> adri_: what seems to be the problem?
[08:17] <Taime1> i see
[08:17] <moocowmoocowmoo> i've been running firestarter for just an hour or so and i already have over 20 blocked connection attempts is this normal?
[08:17] <adri_> juano, hey it's me blanky :)
[08:17] <n2diy>  moocowmoocowmoo, when i first installed Firestarter, I had 11 serious events in the first day, and zero since then, in the last seven days. I don't know if it is adabtive or not?
[08:17] <Taime1> ill use guarddog
[08:17] <jbroome> moocowmoocowmoo: on a cablemodem/dsl connection yes
[08:17] <Taime1> (since using kubuntu)
[08:18] <juano> adri_: hey blanky how are you
[08:18] <juano> adri_: :)
[08:18] <Taime1> in the past, i always thought guarddog WAS my firewall
[08:18] <adri_> okay, so im trying to install ubuntu on my dad's old computer ( pentium 3, 660 mhz, 128 ram), and the only problem is i can't boot from the cdrom, i keep changing the boot sequence but it still wont boot from the cdrom
[08:18] <Taime1> but i understand now, thank you guys
[08:18] <polygry> flannel: cannot boot into windows.  something must have happened when the partitions were resized/created?
[08:18] <cookthis> how do i reset keyboard binds to default?
[08:18] <moocowmoocowmoo> ok thanks, going to use this computer as a backup for my dads work data so just wanna make sure
[08:18] <adri_> it only did it once, but then it crashed
[08:18] <lupine_85> adri_: the livecd needs 256MB RAM
[08:18] <lupine_85> use the alternate CD
[08:18] <lupine_85> !alternate
[08:18] <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.
[08:18] <Taime1> hey adri, is the cmos battery dead?
[08:18] <adri_> lupine_85, thanks, I know about the alternate cd
[08:18] <juano> adri_: did you enable in bios setup to boot from cdrom?
[08:19] <adri_> of course juano
[08:19] <Taime1> you said you keep changing the boot sequence
[08:19] <juano> adri_: and what happens then?
[08:19] <Flannel> polygry: that could be.  Did you resize it too small?
[08:19] <adri_> thanks lupine_85 that might be the problem, becuase the one that DID work was the xubuntu server install disk
[08:19] <adri_> juano, it won't boot, but i think lupine_85 just answered that quesiton
[08:19] <adri_> let me try the xubuntu disk one more time guys
[08:19] <Flannel> adri_: you can change server install to a normal install
[08:19] <Flannel> adri_: real easily
[08:19] <polygry> flannel: no I have the ntfs drive at 200GB or so
[08:19] <khermans> pitti, worked beautifully!
[08:19] <adri_> Flannel, really, I know :)
[08:19] <n2diy> adri_: 128 megs is on the low end, if you could add more, you might have better luck?
[08:19] <wastrel> xubuntu server?  what is the difference between xubuntu server and ubuntu server
[08:19] <PirateHead> If I install a package using a .deb file, how do I uninstall it?
[08:19] <juano> adri_: ohh.. hes right, u got 128
[08:19] <pitti> khermans: great
[08:19] <khermans> pitti, glad to know i can turn off/on ASLR at will :-)
[08:20] <cookthis> how do i reset my keyboard to default configuration?
[08:20] <adri_> n2diy, I know, I'll try the xubuntu
[08:20] <adri_> wastrel, I meant xubuntu desktop sorry
[08:20] <Flannel> wastrel: none
[08:20] <khermans> pitti, now my ret2libc code works ;-P
[08:20] <adri_> alternate install
[08:20] <arrenlex> PirateHead: It will show up in synaptic, and apt-get.
[08:20] <marither> any user friendly, easy to install cd burning software like nero for gnome ubuntu 5.10?
[08:20] <pitti> khermans: phear :)
[08:20] <adri_> I tried it on another old computer once and it worked
[08:20] <Taime1> ADRI , are you having to set the boot sequence everytime you reboot?
[08:20] <arrenlex> PirateHead: Or dpkg. Lots of options.
[08:20] <juano> !init.d
[08:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about init.d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:20] <Flannel> !burn | marither
[08:20] <ubotu> marither: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[08:20] <n2diy> adri_: good luck.
[08:20] <pitti> khermans: and nice to know that aslr defends against it :)
[08:20] <adri_> Taime1, nope, what I meant was that I changed it to cdrom first, it wouldn't work, so i checked to see if it changed and it didn't, it was the same
[08:20] <Taime1> i see
[08:20] <adri_> let me try again with the xubuntu disk this time
[08:21] <adri_> I'll be right back
[08:21] <marither> ubotu, which among those is easy to install without configuring to the terminal?
[08:21] <adri_> thanks guys
[08:21] <wastrel> Flannel:  xubuntu-server doesn't install xubuntu-desktop, while ubuntu server doesn't install ubuntu-desktop  :] 
[08:21] <juano> !init
[08:21] <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
[08:21] <arrenlex> marither: Synaptic will let you install any package without going to the terminal. They are all available as packages.
[08:21] <cookthis> marither ubotu is well.,.. a bot
[08:21] <arrenlex> !ubotu | marither
[08:21] <ubotu> marither: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:21] <Flannel> marither: any of the gnome ones are GUIs
[08:22] <cookthis> anyone know how to reset keyboard to defaults as i accidently overwrote some keys
[08:22] <adri_> hey guys, I tried it and it didn't work, when lupine_85 mentioned that I had too low memory, wouldn't it at least have booted into the text menu though? I mean, the first menu that asks you what to do (boot into the livecd, etc.), the problem is it's not even getting there
[08:22] <ogie> hey does anyone know why after a fresh install ubuntu keeps rebooting at the point in loading where it says starting up?
[08:22] <adri_> It just goes straight to windows 98
[08:22] <lupine_85> adri_: so set the BIOS to boot from CD
[08:23] <tux> is it possible to configure ubuntu just for internet usage only?
[08:23] <adri_> lupine_85, I've been doing that...
[08:23] <lupine_85> and verify that the CD was written correctly
[08:23] <adri_> haha
[08:23] <lupine_85> either way, it won't boot with 128 MB RAM
[08:23] <juano> can anyone check my script code? it wont start at startup thanks: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1660/
[08:23] <adri_> lupine_85, I'm sure of it, I've installed it in various computers, I'll try another distribution and see if that boots
[08:23] <arrenlex> adri_: If you're having problems booting from CD, you could install ubuntu from a USB stick, or a floppy. Actually, debian is significantly easier to set up in that manner AFAIK... I just installed debian from floppies a month or so ago, actually, on an old machine.
[08:23] <adri_> lupine_85, oh really? The other computer I installed it on had 128 or less
[08:23] <lupine_85> nah, ubuntu is just as easy IMO
[08:23] <arrenlex> lupine_85: Is it? I wasn't aware floppy\usb packages already existed for ubuntu.
[08:24] <adri_> alright, thanks guys, I'll try again
[08:24] <ogie> anyone?
[08:24] <lupine_85> adri_: well, I tried it here and it didn't work; and the docs agree
[08:24] <lupine_85> !install
[08:24] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:24] <Taime1> IT WILL BOOT WITH 128 RAM
[08:24] <adri_> Read: Taime1
[08:24] <Taime1> i install on old pieces of crap all the time
[08:24] <pinchmesh> ubuntu live cd install has to be the easiest install i've ever done
[08:24] <juano> Taime1: LMAO
[08:24] <lupine_85> mm, the worst I installed on was a 32MB P-133
[08:24] <adri_> in fact, that computer even had half the speed of this one (300mhz or so)
[08:24] <Taime1> im serious
[08:24] <arrenlex> The server sitting on my desk has 64, I think. I installed dapper on it once.
[08:24] <lupine_85> needless to say, that definitely was an alt-cd job :)
[08:24] <Rprp> 
[08:24] <adri_> lupine_85,  I installed a xubuntu-server on a 64 once
[08:25] <Taime1> i hae installed kubuntu and xubuntu to my dell pIII
[08:25] <ogie> anyone?
[08:25] <juano> can anyone check my script code? it wont start at startup thanks: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1660/
[08:25] <adri_> yeah like arrenlex
[08:25] <tux> is it possible to install ubuntu for internet usage only ?
[08:25] <lupine_85> that's all easy enough; you just have to activate swap early
[08:25] <lupine_85> tux: use a VMWare utility image?
[08:25] <arrenlex> adri_: I think something's just broken with your computer. It's not your or ubuntu's fault.
[08:25] <adri_> arrenlex, alright thanks, i'll keep that in mind
[08:25] <Flannel> tux: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/desktop-guide/s1-ddg-lockdown-other-kiosk-configs.html
[08:26] <pvd2006> how do you figure out what sound card you are running?
[08:26] <adri_> I appreciate all of your help guys, I'll keep trying and give up after a while :P
[08:26] <Taime1> open your case and look at it
[08:26] <adri_> pvd2006, lspci | grep audio
[08:26] <adri_> I think
[08:26] <juano> how can i make a script start up on X ????
[08:26] <polygry> sorry to ask this again, but I really need some help.  does anybody know why after installing ubuntu with XP, I get an error message from XP and cannot load it? I can access all the files from the XP drive in linux.
[08:26] <Taime1> im totally kidding, sorry
[08:26] <bzaks> can anyone tell me why mplayer and libggi2 won't allow me to update them?
[08:26] <bzaks> they'e been up for a month
[08:26] <bzaks> and I can't click the boxes
[08:26] <adri_> polygry, the error is... /
[08:26] <Flannel> polygry: you might try asking in ##windows, they might know what to look for
[08:27] <arrenlex> bzaks: What if you try to update them from the command line? sudo apt-get install mplayer
[08:27] <get_connected> hello... anyone know how to configure pppoe wifi connection in ubuntu?
[08:27] <lupine_85> polygry: did you resize the NTFS partition?
[08:27] <Flannel> !pppoe | get_connected

[08:27] <bzaks> lemme try
[08:27] <bzaks> polgry: what's the error?

[08:27] <toulouse> hey guys, i want to configure my joystick for xmms, but xmms uses the two joystick locations "/dev/js0" and "/dev/js2", how do i find MY joystick?
[08:27] <lupine_85> it breaks windows occasionally
[08:27] <get_connected> its wifi
[08:28] <lupine_85> (including at an install day I was at recently :( )
[08:28] <lupine_85> so we reinstalled windows, then fixed grub
[08:28] <pvd2006> !java
[08:28] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[08:28] <lupine_85> TBH, I think that's all you can do
[08:28] <bzaks> it updates
[08:28] <polygry> lupine_85: I can't seem to be able to get the XP CD to load
[08:28] <bzaks> why wouldn't it update over the gui?
[08:28] <bzaks> that seems odd to me
[08:29] <taowell> hi i just installed wine; i just need to know where i need to look to find drive_c :x  search is beating me up
[08:29] <arrenlex> bzaks: Synaptic is messing with you. It's just like those "are you a moron? y\n" prompts that don't let you click n. *sage nod*
[08:29] <bzaks> is it ever smart to do apt-get autoremove?
[08:30] <arrenlex> taowell: Come again? Are you looking for ~/.wine/drive_c/?
[08:30] <taowell> yes.
[08:30] <Taime1> adri_ is your cdrom ribbon unplugged?
[08:30] <taowell> i dono where to even look tho ;_;
[08:30] <arrenlex> taowell: The ~/.wine directory gets set up when you first run a wine app IIRC. Try running winecfg
[08:30] <adri_> Taime1, haha, I doubt it, I'll take a look though thanks
[08:30] <juano> startup script????? anyone???
[08:30] <taowell> ok
[08:30] <taowell> ty arrenlex
[08:30] <bzaks> thanks Arrenlex and everyone else (by the way, just so you all know I appreciate it)
[08:30] <Taime1> that seems like a logical explanation
[08:30] <arrenlex> bzaks: It's perfectly safe. Packages you can autoremove are packages that were installed as dependencies for packages which are gone.
[08:31] <bzaks> okay
[08:31] <pvd2006> !flash
[08:31] <arrenlex> bzaks: i.e. you installed the program foobar, which needed libfoobar to run. After removing foobar, the libfoobar package sits around on your system being useless.

[08:31] <Olathe> What is a buffer I/O error ("Buffer I/O error on device hda6") ?
[08:31] <arrenlex> bzaks: libfoobar is the sort of package autoremove takes care of.
[08:31] <toulouse> hey guys, should i be using xmms2?
[08:31] <bzaks> thanks much arrenlex!
[08:31] <bzaks> :)
[08:31] <toulouse> instead of xmms
[08:31] <Taime1> as opposed to xmms?
[08:32] <Taime1> never heard of it
[08:32] <thoreauputic> toulouse: try beep-media-player
[08:32] <KDan> does anyone have pointers to some information about the best way to set up a file system to allow fast access to very large numbers of files (e.g. should you create subfolders to make finding files quicker, etc)
[08:32] <toulouse> i have tried it
[08:32] <taowell> hey i think it worked arrenlex. thanks very much
[08:32] <arrenlex> taowell: Glad to help! :)
[08:32] <toulouse> beep media stumbled on my internet radio alot
[08:32] <tux> Flannel, ive seen the site but how can i get the window mentioned there?
[08:32] <toulouse> thoreauputic: what i really want to do is get my joystick working with xmms
[08:32] <ogie> does xubuntu have a server installation?
[08:33] <F28> Hi, im trying to install a program am im getting this error, what whould i apt-get?

[08:33] <thoreauputic> F28: what are you compiling ? Are you sure there is no package for it?

The install CD contains many server applications. Current stable version is 6.06 LTS. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/
[08:34] <F28> Its called Hydra
[08:34] <F28> and i dont think theres a package
[08:34] <Flannel> tux: you'd install gconf and then use that (that's what that window is)
[08:34] <arrenlex> F28: Install the build-essential package.
[08:34] <arrenlex> F28: (It includes tools and headers to help compile applications.)
[08:34] <F28> k thanks :)
[08:34] <thoreauputic> F28: hmm - looks like you are right at least on dapper
[08:34] <nrdb> ubotu: what is different between a 'server kernel' and any other.
[08:35] <Flannel> nrdb: server kernel has PREEMPT disabled
[08:35] <get_connected> do you think pppoe for dsl will behave the same over a wifi connection?
[08:35] <arrenlex> nrdb: There isn't. And ubotu is a bot.
[08:35] <Flannel> arrenlex: there is
[08:35] <get_connected> using wisp
[08:35] <thoreauputic> F28: most ./configure errors require lib*-dev packages
[08:35] <arrenlex> Oh. Okie, I'll stop pretending to know what I'm talking about. Apologies.
[08:35] <nrdb> arrenlex: as I just found out.
[08:35] <nrdb> Flannel: what is meant by PREEMPT ?
[08:36] <arrenlex> F28: I have to go... anyway, if build-essential doesn't help you, install the libgtk2.0-dev package.
[08:37] <Flannel> nrdb: it has to do with processes taking over other processes time slots of the processor.  it makes the system more responsive to input
[08:38] <Flannel> nrdb: at the risk of running slower.  (for desktop systems, it makes stuff run smoother as far as the user is concerned)
[08:38] <nrdb> Flannel: thanks.
[08:38] <blade> What file system should I format my hard drive partition in to run Ubuntu?
[08:39] <Flannel> blade: the installer will do that for you, don't worry about it
[08:39] <ahoj> greetings
[08:39] <thoreauputic> blade: matter of opinion - ext3 is fine ( default)
[08:39] <blade> thoreauputic Right on, thanks bro.

[08:42] <taowell> and b) when i try to configure the sound it crashes winecfg
[08:42] <pvd2006> how do yuo get around removing ubuntu-desktop
[08:42] <Flannel> pvd2006: you don't.  It's ok, it's a metapackage
[08:43] <pvd2006> so its ok to delete?
[08:43] <Flannel> !metapackage | pvd2006
[08:43] <ubotu> pvd2006: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.
[08:43] <pvd2006> its ok to remove I mean
[08:43] <Flannel> pvd2006: just make sure to reinstall it before upgrading to a new ubuntu version
[08:43] <pvd2006> ok
[08:43] <Flannel> pvd2006: and actually, I believe update-manager does that for you

[08:50] <krinns> hi all i have install hp 1022 in ubuntu
[08:50] <get_connected> so what should i do?
[08:50] <krinns> its going to pause after 2 prints
[08:50] <krinns> whats the issue
[08:50] <get_connected> last time i clicked on modem connection pc froze
[08:51] <toulouse> hey how do i set background as partially transparent, so i can see throught it
[08:51] <cookthis> hmm the game i downloaded is in .zip format archive but the installer references it should be a .run should i try convert it to a .run?
[08:51] <tux> is there ways by which i can speed up firefox?
[08:51] <Flannel> cookthis: you probably unzip the zip and find a run
[08:51] <cokeslut> hey
[08:51] <Schminux> get_conn... do you have a wireless access point or are you going directly from wireless card on pc to your provider?
[08:51] <cookthis> Flannel: i tried it just brings up a big black screen lol
[08:51] <Jewfro-Macabbi> tux, manually tweak connections, or try swiftfox
[08:52] <cookthis> how do i make a .zip into a .run?
[08:52] <get_connected> going from .. lan card.. through cable to connector box which adds POE for the radio .. then up to the roof.. to radio .. to antenna.. to antenna relay.. down other relays.. to ISP.. To Internet
[08:52] <cokeslut> unsure
[08:52] <Jewfro-Macabbi> cookthis, unzip it
[08:53] <cookthis> yeh done
[08:53] <cookthis> now?
[08:53] <tux> Jewfro-Macabbi, but where can i find switfox?
[08:53] <Jewfro-Macabbi> tux, google is your friend, there's a .deb available for it
[08:53] <Schminux> do you have other desktops or laptops using the radio connection which are working?
[08:53] <tux> Jewfro-Macabbi, thank you
[08:53] <get_connected> using an old 10mb netwrk card
[08:53] <Ruckus> Any one here on windows atm lol?
[08:53] <cookthis> Jewfro-Macabbi: what do i do after ive extracted it
[08:53] <get_connected> to get to radio from pc
[08:53] <rapid> Ruckus, why?
[08:54] <Ruckus> need a pic of a website from IE
[08:54] <get_connected> yes ruckus.. because im trying to figure out how to get pppoe working with my wisp
[08:54] <Jewfro-Macabbi> cookthis, is there a readme? I can't remember the exact syntax, maybe sh ./filename
[08:54] <Ruckus> would you mind taking a pic of a website im testing colors on, and uploading for me then?
[08:54] <get_connected> fix pppoe problem and i can probably help you out ruckus
[08:55] <get_connected> lol
[08:55] <polygry> is there a way to do a chkdsk-like function to an NTFS drive in linux?
[08:55] <Ruckus> cant help there :P
[08:55] <get_connected> im zoned in on that at the moment
[08:55] <Ruckus> http://new.uploadit.biz if you dont mind get_connected :) (you can upload the picture at http;//www.uploadit.biz )
[08:55] <Jozan> has anyone tried dist-upgrading from ubuntu to debian?
[08:55] <Flannel> Ruckus: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[08:55] <Schminux> get_connected  I had afairly easy install with a 54/108 Mb card... PCI for under $20... ~ 25 incl shipping... it uses
[08:56] <get_connected> nope zoned in on pppoe issue at the moment unfortunately so wont be doing that
[08:56] <Jewfro-Macabbi> I have audio problems, only one speaker of the six works under linux, anyone familiar with this problem?
[08:57] <Schminux> get_connected.... Atheros Chipset so it doesn't need NDISWrapper and installs easily (as long as you enable the WEP on card if you need to lol)
[08:57] <get_connected> Its probably that problem called >> DOLBY = PROPRIETARY
[08:57] <get_connected> perhaps
[08:57] <tux> Flannel, thank you that was really a good help
[08:58] <ger69> hello beautiful girls :P
[08:58] <get_connected> what modem port must i use to dial in to pppoe connection from lan card through radio ? (if im on the right track)
[08:59] <Schminux> get_conn other PCs??? and if yes, are they runnning 10 Mb cards or 100??
[08:59] <get_connected> ger69.. i think you might have the wrong channel
[08:59] <get_connected> doesnt make a difference.. because im going to the radio which is running on the network
[08:59] <LucianSolaris> yo yo yoooo
[08:59] <get_connected> the 10mb card is just for the connection to the radio.
[08:59] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Jozan, not a good idea.
[09:00] <get_connected> the radio only uses 10mb input anyway.. because it doesnt need much more.
[09:00] <Schminux> it's stgill a bottleneck bandwidth is bandwidth
[09:00] <get_connected> not many wisps offering over 10mbps round here
[09:00] <Jewfro-Macabbi> get_connected, I'm not trying to play dolby digital audio here, just an mp3 file.
[09:00] <get_connected> yeah
[09:00] <get_connected> ;-)
[09:00] <get_connected> I guess that
[09:00] <Jozan> Jewfro-Macabbi: why's that?
[09:00] <cookthis> anyone know how to change a .zip into a .run?
[09:00] <get_connected> still .. if you want to play a dvd with those speakers.. from linux.. that sucks that it doesnt work
[09:01] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Jozan, ubuntu and debian are not the same. trying to dist-upgrade from ubuntu to deb would just break. If you want Debian, install it cleanly.
[09:01] <Schminux> get_connected: is it a single pc or do you have one that *is* working ok?
[09:01] <Jozan> Jewfro-Macabbi: figured as much.. I was hoping there was some voodoo I could perform ;) thanks
[09:01] <Jewfro-Macabbi> get_connected, any clues on how to get all my speakers to give me sound?
[09:02] <get_connected> er...
[09:02] <hungryhippo> anyone familiar with dmraid?
[09:02] <cookthis> lol
[09:02] <get_connected> you could just buy a peice of hardware :-) from a hardware store ... that just links all the inputs together :-)
[09:02] <get_connected> :-D
[09:03] <get_connected> would still just be in mono though.. or 3 left 3 right
[09:03] <get_connected> ;-)
[09:03] <get_connected> LOL
[09:03] <get_connected> not much of a linux guru
[09:03] <get_connected> so best advice i can think of right now
[09:03] <get_connected> lol
[09:03] <Jewfro-Macabbi> lol, if I could just buy things, I'd have bought support :)
[09:03] <Schminux> Jewfro-Macabbi:  try http://www.ask.com/web?q=linux+5.1+surround+sound        some of the hits look worth checking out!
[09:03] <get_connected> Any clues on how to get pppoe running to acceess my wisp?
[09:04] <marither> do i still need burning tool like nero for ubuntu 5.10 or i could simply click on the torrent file and save location for bit torrent session to cd?
[09:04] <get_connected> Ok.. so it sees im connected to the radio .. on the network... but now i have to dial in to my account
[09:04] <get_connected> how do i create a new account?
[09:04] <get_connected> er.. dial in thingY?
[09:06] <scorp123> Hi all
[09:06] <Schminux> get_connected:  I would guess that you may need to tell your radio device to use the pppoe (protocol?)    on my router, the setup utility makes it easy to sellect from diff protocols,,,
[09:07] <get_connected> hi
[09:07] <get_connected> really can anyone help me set up pppoe?
[09:08] <Schminux> g_c   do you have a manual for the device??   if you know it's manufacturer and model number (usually on sticker on back or bottom) you might be able to DL a manual
[09:09] <freakynl> are there packages for klips support in the kernel for ubuntu? i'd like to know before i switch. the default ipsec stack in 2.6 (netkey) isn't really roadwarrior friendly (at all..)

[09:11] <freakynl> Linky|Lap: did you check this out? http://baghira.sourceforge.net/dmg.htm
[09:11] <diemos> anyone recommend ubuntu for a laptop? (Toshiba M115-S3094)
[09:11] <freakynl> Linky|Lap: not sure if the ubuntu kernel has hfs support tho'
[09:12] <Linky|Lap> i did freakynl, no luck
[09:12] <F28> Does anybody know where i can get a .Deb for Hydra?
[09:12] <freakynl> Linky|Lap: get an error?
[09:13] <nexis> anyone know why i can never get flash to work properly
[09:13] <nexis> ?
[09:13] <scorp123> F28: what is Hydra? I only know it as snake with seven heads in Greek legends .... ?  :-S
[09:13] <scorp123> nexis: It would help if you were more precise ...
[09:14] <F28> Its a BruteForcer
[09:14] <Linky|Lap> freakynl when I do the file <filename> I get "VAX COFF executable not stripped"
[09:14] <scorp123> F28: as in THC-Hydra ??
[09:14] <F28> yea
[09:14] <Linky|Lap> and i did the mounting part and that didn't work either
[09:14] <jpjacobs> scorp123, i know the grml repos have one(http://grml.org)
[09:14] <jpjacobs> i mean F28
[09:15] <F28> k
[09:15] <scorp123> F28: yeah, you can probably grab their package
[09:15] <Flannel> nexact: how did you install it?
[09:15] <scorp123> F28: just watch out what you do with this stuff .... this shit can get you in trouble :-/
[09:15] <linda> nexis - The way I got flash to work was to install automatix - debian
[09:16] <Flannel> linda: please don't recommend automatix
[09:16] <freakynl> Linky|Lap: sorry wouldn't know
[09:16] <scorp123> Flannel: why not?

[09:16] <linda> why?
[09:16] <Linky|Lap> np though, thx :)
[09:16] <Flannel> because it's dangerous, and a nice way to completely hose systems
[09:16] <scorp123> Flannel: Bullshit
[09:16] <Flannel> scorp123: nope, it's the truth.
[09:17] <scorp123> Flannel: never happened to me
[09:17] <Flannel> !worksforme
[09:17] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[09:17] <Flannel> scorp123: you got lucky
[09:17] <scorp123> Flannel: Just click on the stuff you really need, leave the rest untouched and you're fine.
[09:17] <Oni-Dracula> anyone know a way of remapping the right side buttons of a razer diamondback?  xev detects the buttons as 4 and 5, however those buttons are also the scroll wheel up and down.
[09:17] <Flannel> scorp123: no, the entire thing is rubbish
[09:17] <scorp123> Flannel: luck has nothing to do with it. I know what I do :-)
[09:18] <linda> I agree Flannel
[09:18] <Flannel> scorp123: you can go ahead and use it, makes no difference to me.  But do not recommend it here.  It's not fair to break peoples systems without them knowing any better
[09:18] <jpjacobs> Oni-Dracula, you prolly have to map them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. google for it
[09:18] <F28> scorp123: Where did you see hydra on that page?
[09:18] <scorp123> F28: it's on their live cd
[09:18] <jpjacobs> F28, they have a repo, it's there
[09:18] <F28> hmm
[09:18] <deepsa> nitesh, was up
[09:18] <F28> k
[09:18] <scorp123> F28: yeah, and they got repos
[09:19] <scorp123> Flannel: just how did Automatix hose your system?
[09:19] <Flannel> scorp123: not mine.  But we recieve lots of people in here that have to reinstall because they used automatix.
[09:19] <_magez_> !dcop
[09:19] <nitesh> hii depu
[09:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dcop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:19] <scorp123> Flannel: as I said, I never had that problem. I just grab what I need and leave the rest untouched.
[09:20] <linda> The more reason to have Ghost for Linux
[09:20] <scorp123> linda: Ghost for Linux? As in Symantec Ghost?
[09:20] <Flannel> scorp123: right, and again, just because somethign works for you doesnt mean its stable, or works for anyone else.  Anyway, this is -offtopic
[09:20] <Surfnkid> hi
[09:20] <Surfnkid> does anyone know or could give me a good hard drive brand 2.5 for laptop?
[09:21] <linda> google search 'ghost for linux'
[09:21] <Surfnkid> i have to replace it so i can install linux
[09:21] <freakynl> linda: where do you need ghost for if you can just tar/bz2 the entire system...
[09:21] <cookthis> anyone know how to make a .run file?
[09:21] <scorp123> linda: ... googling ...
[09:21] <linda> I've never done it that way
[09:22] <jpjacobs> or use partimage
[09:22] <scorp123> linda: Isn't that similar to partimage?
[09:22] <agliv5>  Greetings :) Is anyone good with LICQ cause sometimes it beeps when a new message arrives and sometimes it doesn't.  Can anyone help?
[09:23] <hungryhippo> I'd be really thankful if someone could give me a hand with a dmraid oddity .... anyone willing?
[09:23] <Schminux> scorp123/flannel... since I rebuilt without automatix, I've been OK... can't say it was automatic, but it's plausibkle enough from my recent troubles  lol
[09:23] <ademan> is there any tool to unencrypt encrypted wmv's?
[09:24] <linda> being honest acronis is faster and does not use as much disk space but it is Windows
[09:24] <F28> scorp123: http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/h/hydra/ I should be able to run the .deb and it will be installed right?
[09:24] <scorp123> F28: no idea to be honest
[09:24] <F28> k
[09:24] <F28> thanks ;P
[09:25] <Flannel> F28: you don't run a deb, but yes, you can install it
[09:25] <scorp123> F28: if it's a .deb you can probably just download it and install it with sudo dpkg -i package.deb ,,,
[09:25] <ademan> or you can just double click on it...
[09:26] <dope> i have a synaptics touchpad and the scroll bars don't work
[09:26] <dope> do i need a special driver? i think i do
[09:26] <linda> I play and restore all the time if I don't like results - As far as Flash 9, automatic was the most simple and it worked
[09:27] <deepsa> linker2u, hello
[09:27] <freakynl> linda: acronis trueimage don't know it but seen linux version

[09:27] <palomer> how do you get the first 5 lines of a string?
[09:27] <cokeslut> I'll soon find out
[09:27] <Flannel> palomer: er... Try asking in the channel for whatever language you want ;)
[09:27] <freakynl> are there packages for klips support in the kernel for ubuntu? i'd like to know before i switch. the default ipsec stack in 2.6 (netkey) isn't really roadwarrior friendly (at all..)
[09:28] <crimsun> freakynl: the ipsec stack doesn't deviate from vanilla linus
[09:29] <freakynl> crimsun: iow only netkey thus?
[09:29] <linker2u> hii
[09:29] <Asc> how do I access a shared windows folder from ubuntu ?
[09:30] <Flannel> !samba | Asc
[09:30] <ubotu> Asc: 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
[09:30] <linda> google search acronis - less disc space when backing up and works well.
[09:30] <hungryhippo> raid 0 .... dmraid .... please .... someone's done it .... ;)
[09:30] <Flannel> !raid | hungryhippo

[09:32] <DARKGuy> Hmm... I just added mem=260928K to the kernel line, and I still have the same results. Clean boot: 2 iceWM/idesk instances, 2 xterms (irssi: this one, and top), and it shows: Mem:    254828k total,   251056k used,     3772k free,    82060k buffers - Swap:        0k total,        0k used,        0k free,    64480k cached <- wtf? does Linux is really using the 251Mb? :/
[09:32] <deepsa> linker2u, kya hua be?
[09:33] <linker2u> are kuch nahin
[09:33] <linker2u> wire disconnected the
[09:33] <deepsa> linker2u, /join #deepsa
[09:33] <Oni-Dracula> so apparently it's not possible to map the right side buttons of the razer diamondback without software driver support...is what I gather from my google searches
[09:34] <jpjacobs> DARKGuy, linux always caches alot... this means it keeps stuff in memory for future use, that isn't strictly needed. so that memory can be freed if necesarry (happens automatically)
[09:34] <jpjacobs> Oni-Dracula, i guess if you poke aroun in xorg.conf, it is possible
[09:34] <Guest32051> wtf
[09:34] <Guest32051> damn cheebye
[09:34] <pinkyGal> hi
[09:34] <Guest32051> hi
[09:34] <xtian> hi, can anyone tell me which directory I should put a binary file (picasa.bin) before I execute it? Like the standard location for things like this?
[09:34] <deepsa> hi
[09:35] <Guest32051> lim pei fuck u
[09:35] <deepsa> wtf

[09:35] <DARKGuy> jpjacobs: I see... just like .net does under win right?
[09:35] <pinkyGal> i thought i could find some nice geeks around here
[09:35] <Oni-Dracula> jpjacobs, as far as I know, xorg.conf works with the number of the button as read from xev...when two distinctly different buttons on a mouse register as the same number it seems to me impossible to use xorg.conf to map the buttons
[09:35] <Guest32051> lim pei diu lei ah
[09:35] <Flannel> !ops

[09:36] <xtian> pinkyGal, there are some very nice geeks on here, and a lot of people who are willing to help, this is the first time i have seen language like that
[09:36] <deepsa> linker2u, again
[09:36] <Hobbsee> heya pinkyGal
[09:36] <linker2u> joined dude cme there i m waiting
[09:36] <DARKGuy> jpjacobs: Oh well XD it's okay ^^, do you know any tips or links to free up memory ?
[09:37] <xtian> anyhoo, does anyone know what directory i should place a bin file before I execute it, like the standard location for usr programs
[09:37] <DARKGuy> erm, links to pages that explain that xD
[09:37] <deepsa> linker2u, /msg deepsa hi do this
[09:37] <jpjacobs> DARKGuy, kill mozilla/openoffice, and X if you don't need it :)
[09:37] <Flannel> DARKGuy: memory is freed as needed.  But the kernel will fill it up with whatever it thinks it might need, even if it's not using it (unused RAM is wasted RAM)
[09:38] <DARKGuy> jpjacobs: o.o I can't live without X, I don't have openoffice and I use firefox =p
[09:38] <DARKGuy> Flannel: Ah, different concept o.o
[09:38] <linker2u> mein chutia hoon aaj pata chala
[09:38] <|Osiris> can someone help me with my wireless setup? I do not get an ip
[09:38] <deepsa> linker2u, yeah
[09:38] <linker2u> sala mein ye interface nahin sabvhal pa raha
[09:38] <heidi> hey, so Gnome won't start.
[09:39] <Asc> ive done this now: sodu mkdir /media/windows, but how do I mount my windows shared folder inn there ?
[09:39] <linker2u> ye kya hain call me at g talk
[09:39] <heidi> after I login in with GDM, I go to a brown background with a cursor, and that's it.
[09:39] <linker2u> now wires are connected
[09:39] <heidi> I'm able to run xchat by getting an xterm (failsafe) session running
[09:39] <mainer> xtian: it doesn't matter,but use a folder in your /home directory
[09:39] <heidi> if I start gnome-wm, the window manager starts up
[09:40] <heidi> no problem there
[09:40] <DARKGuy> What would explain then, that sometimes when I have firefox, kate and 2-3 xterms, apt-get says: dpkg: error reordering: 'fork' failed: cannot allocate memory ?
[09:40] <heidi> sound is working also
[09:40] <dope> i can't get tapping to work with my synaptics touchpad
[09:40] <heidi> so it seems that gnome just isn't starting when I login with gdm
[09:40] <xtian> mainer, so there isnt a place where i would i would use to put picasa files? besides my home folder? im trying to not clutter it
[09:40] <Flannel> heidi: do you happen to be using XDMCP?
[09:41] <heidi> Flannel, not sure. How would I know?
[09:41] <mainer> xtian: no,a bin is an installer file usually
[09:41] <Flannel> heidi: nevermind.  You're obviously not ;)
[09:41] <xtian> yea, but the installer asks me where i want to have the install path to be
[09:41] <Flannel> heidi: XDMCP is for remote logins, you have a thinclient then a server
[09:41] <heidi> I am a PPC user, but I don't imagine that is causing the problem
[09:41] <mainer> xtian: if you must put it in /opt
[09:42] <pinkyGal> hi i replaced the index.html in my /var/www with a different one but when i type www.localhost in my browser i still get the old page loaded anyone have an idea why? thankies! :-)
[09:42] <mainer> xtian: or /usr/local is even better
[09:42] <heidi> Flannel, is there a way to run a command in xterm in a way that would let me run more commands in the same xterm session?
[09:42] <xtian> mainer,
[09:42] <xtian> mainer, thanks, thats what i was looking for
[09:42] <heidi> (without interrupting or killing the first process)
[09:42] <mainer> yes,/usr/local/ would be best
[09:42] <mneptok> heidi: there's a known bug in PPC that requires modification of ~/.xsession. sec.
[09:43] <pinkyGal> heidi i think you want to suffix your command with %
[09:43] <pinkyGal> or maybe im wrong :-)
[09:44] <pinkyGal> hi i replaced the index.html in my /var/www with a different one but when i type www.localhost in my browser i still get the old page loaded anyone have an idea why? thankies! :-)
[09:44] <heidi> also, I'm using 5.10,  I think that's breezy, right?
[09:44] <heidi> they are older CDs
[09:44] <ahoj> pinkyGal: I don't know, but shouldn't it be http://localhost/~username ?
[09:44] <mainer> pinkyGal: it could be from your web-browser cache
[09:45] <pinkyGal> so maybe i need to restart apache? thanks
[09:45] <ahoj> pinkyGal: web-browser cache != apache
[09:45] <mainer> pinkyGal: i'd flush the web-browser cache first
[09:46] <ahoj> pinkyGal: try clicking "refresh" while holding down shift
[09:46] <ahoj> most browser should get that, methinks
[09:46] <mneptok> heidi: put these lines in ~/.xsession :
[09:46] <pinkyGal> mainer, sorry how do i flush the web browser cache?
[09:46] <mneptok>     gnome-wm &
[09:46] <mneptok>     nautilus -n &
[09:46] <mneptok>     gnome-cups-icon &
[09:46] <mneptok>     gnome-volume-manager &
[09:46] <mneptok>     gnome-panel
[09:46] <heidi> mneptok, thanks.
[09:46] <mneptok> np
[09:47] <Asc> I managed to mount a folder called "windows" under media, but how do I put my windows shared folder in there ?
[09:48] <mainer> pinkyGal: tools>clear-private-data;or preferences>privacy>clear-cache-now
[09:48] <heidi> alright, I'll be back to let you know how it went :-)
[09:49] <pinkyGal> i think i was able to do it
[09:49] <daning> hello.i want a mail client. I used thunderbird. but it's so slow.
[09:50] <daning> what should i choose?
[09:50] <mneptok> mutt is nice and fast
[09:50] <mainer> daning: sylpheed,claws-mail
[09:50] <pinkyGal> this is exactly what i did... i created a few web pages from a template using frontpage. then i replaced the index.html in /var/www/ with all the files i created using frontpage
[09:50] <pinkyGal> should this work?
[09:50] <Flannel> pinkyGal: yes
[09:50] <mneptok> Frontpage? *shudder*
[09:50] <daning> Do mutt have GUI?
[09:51] <heidi> mneptok, what file did that go in again/
[09:51] <Flannel> daning: yes, curses based
[09:51] <mneptok> heidi: ~/.xsession
[09:51] <pinkyGal> now that i've cleared the cache, when i go http://localhost in my browser i get a "Forbidden" message
[09:51] <heidi> mneptok, I don't even have that file...
[09:51] <mneptok> pinkyGal: permissions
[09:51] <pinkyGal> thanks Flannel at least i now im doing it right
[09:51] <daning> thanks , I will try.
[09:51] <mneptok> heidi: create it
[09:51] <Flannel> pinkyGal: make sure the files in /var/www can be read by www-data (the user that runs apache)
[09:51] <heidi> is that as root or as the current user?
[09:51] <mneptok> heidi: you can own it
[09:52] <heidi> gotcha
[09:52] <heidi> alright, brb
[09:54] <pinkyGal> how do i make apache point to index.htm rather than index.html as start up page? sorry im really new to this
[09:54] <mneptok> pinkyGal: HTML pages should be named .html
[09:54] <pinkyGal> also my pages dont display the icons as they do in windows
[09:55] <Flannel> icons?
[09:55] <mneptok> pinkyGal: .htm screams "clueless Windows user!"
[09:55] <Flannel> mneptok: or DOS user ;)
[09:56] <Olathe> Or "Where's the L ?  WHERE IS THE ELL ?!  *explodes*"
[09:56] <heidi> mneptok, no dice.
[09:56] <heidi> still got nothing on login
[09:56] <pinkyGal> yes im a windows user wanting to break into the geeky world of linux
[09:56] <pinkyGal> :-)
[09:57] <mneptok> heidi: ugh. GDM just refuses to start?
[09:57] <heidi> that was /etc/home/.xsession
[09:57] <heidi> right?
[09:57] <mneptok> pinkyGal: step 1. "html" and not "htm" ;)
[09:57] <heidi> mneptok, no, GDM is working fine. Gnome won't start
[09:57] <heidi> wait
[09:57] <heidi> not /etc/home
[09:57] <heidi> whoops
[09:57] <mneptok> heidi: no, ~/.xsession
[09:57] <heidi> /home/heidi/.xsession
[09:57] <pinkyGal> mneptok, ok changed it :-)
[09:57] <mneptok> correct
[09:57] <heidi> yeah, no dice.
[09:58] <heidi> is there a keyboard command for creating a new xterm session?
[09:58] <mneptok> heidi: try moving ~/.gconf* and ~/.gnome* aside and seeing wha'ppens.
[09:58] <Flannel> heidi: Have you tried failsafe gnome? (session menu)
[09:58] <grub_booter> umm... xterm?
[09:59] <heidi> Flannel, yep
[09:59] <pinkyGal> is there a webpage software for linux just like frontpage? thanks
[09:59] <heidi> grub_booter, you know the terminal application for x
[09:59] <Flannel> heidi: and it works? or doesnt?
[09:59] <mainer> heidi: ctrl+alt+F1,F2,etc
[09:59] <grub_booter> heidi: yeah - the answer is in the question :-)
[09:59] <Flannel> pinkyGal: nvu
[09:59] <jpjacobs> heidi, alt-f2 and then key in xterm ;)
[09:59] <heidi> Flannel, sorry, it doesn't
[10:00] <Flannel> heidi: alright, then removing your gnome settings (like mneptok is walking you through) won't fix anything
[10:00] <pinkyGal> Flannel, that might be hard to search being 3-letters... is it an acronym for something?
[10:00] <Flannel> pinkyGal: it's in the repositories.  No need to search.  Start up synaptic package manager and install nvu
[10:00] <pinkyGal> hey Flannel you're nice, wanna buy me a drink this Saturday? *wink*
[10:01] <Flannel> pinkyGal: oh, nvu is in universe.  You'll need to enable it first.
[10:01] <heidi> jpjacobs, nope, that tells me that it can't connect to the display.

[10:07] <pinkyGal> i couldn't find nvu
[10:07] <mainer> pinkyGal: bluefish?
[10:08] <pinkyGal> which one is easiest? i particularly liked the frontpage template for a company website
[10:08] <pinkyGal> thanks for the suggestions my nice geeks! ;-)
[10:09] <eteran> bluefish is great

[10:10] <amigamia> debian
[10:10] <gnoodles> Hi everyone... Just trying to install Ubuntu 6.1, but my system keeps locking up immediately after booting. It freezes anytime between the tan screen coming up but before the splash screen, to after the desktop is displayed. It's a hard freeze-- even the clock stops. I've tried both regular and safe mode. I'm downloading 6.06, but any other suggestions in the meantime? Thanks!
[10:11] <mainer> amigamia: maybe scientific linux?
[10:12] <Flannel> gnoodles: edit the boot (in grub) and turn off splash and quiet, you'll see more descriptive messages
[10:12] <amigamia> is seveas still around with ubuntu?
[10:12] <amigamia> lynoure do you know of tis ubuntu effort?
[10:12] <amigamia> no i read about an ubuntu medical project but we are blocked with proxys and firewalls and i could not find out more.
[10:12] <black_13> what does libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b mean?
[10:12] <Flannel> gnoodles: oh, trying to install.  sorry.  Alternate CD is always a good choice
[10:13] <Lynoure> amigamia: seveas is still around
[10:13] <amigamia> well good nite
[10:13] <amigamia> ahh ok lynoure
[10:13] <gnoodles> Is Alternate install a better choice then 6.06? I'd prefer the later version given the choice.
[10:13] <amigamia> is their any info on the ubuntu medical distro?
[10:14] <Lynoure> amigamia: No, never heard of medical version of ubuntu, but have not googled for it either
[10:14] <Flannel> amigamia: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-med@lists.debian.org/msg01460.html  is a mailing list conversation about it
[10:14] <snail> gnoodles: can you boot to single user mode (no x) ?
[10:14] <amigamia> flannel about the ubuntu med?
[10:14] <amigamia> coolness
[10:14] <amigamia> gracias!
[10:14] <gnoodles> I'm booting from the install CD... How do I boot with no X?
[10:15] <ocx32> hi guys, i am trying to code a small script to monitor all ports on my system (the ones queried from an attacker in case of sybn attacks or something similar) my question is does iptables provide monitoring for attempts to connect to closed ports too?
[10:15] <Jordan_U> Google earth ( downloaded officially through Google ) is not working for me, is there a .deb or troubleshooting suggestions?
[10:15] <Flannel> !google earth
[10:15] <ubotu> Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
[10:15] <_magez_> Results for: earth
[10:15] <_magez_> I cant find a result for that, sorry
[10:16] <Jordan_U> gnoodles: I believe you want the alternate install CD if you want to install without X.
[10:16] <_magez_> Results for: earth
[10:16] <_magez_> I cant find a result for that, sorry
[10:16] <pinkyGal> thanks guys have to go now
[10:16] <mainer> ocx32: yes
[10:16] <Jordan_U> Flannel: That is where I went, Google's installer didn't work
[10:16] <gnoodles> Thanks. I'll download Alternate & try again tomorrow.
[10:16] <pinkyGal> *hugs*
[10:16] <Madpilot> _magez_, are you a google bot?
[10:16] <ocx32> mainer: where should i look?
[10:16] <Flannel> Jordan_U: I'd check the forums/wiki
[10:17] <mainer> /var/log/syslog;/var/log/kernel.log
[10:17] <mainer> ocx32: and lastmessage,dbus,and /var/log/messages.log
[10:18] <mainer> holy cow,4:15 a.m. oh well,its a snow day,good-night all

[10:19] <linker2u_> can you give me a cloak i have linked both my nicks un-affliated
[10:19] <mainer> it should log all unrequested connections
[10:19] <mainer> goodnight,and,goodluck
[10:20] <theosk> Hi there! Does anyone know how to change the tabs in Nautilus to a URL bar? thanks in advance :)
[10:20] <Flannel> theosk: ctrl-L turns on the locatio bar, I believe
[10:21] <theosk> thanks a lot, it was fast :D
[10:22] <thoreauputic> theosk: you can also edit the preferences to make it permanent
[10:24] <theosk> thoreauputi is it in a config file? I tried the user interface but didn't find that option
[10:26] <thoreauputic> theosk: sorry - try tab completing nicks - I didn't see your post
[10:26] <thoreauputic> hang on a second
[10:27] <Laska> hmmm...

[10:28] <mrtaran123> is there some remote software where someone can fix my driver issue easier?
[10:29] <mrtaran123> trying to get my driver to work, but im a newbie
[10:29] <theosk> it seems to keep the option by default, anyway it doesn't show it in preferences, perhaps i'm not using the proper version or the spanish translation is wicked :S
[10:30] <eteran> mrtaran123, you should be more specific with _what_ driver you're talking about
[10:30] <thoreauputic> theosk: ah, I have no Spanish :) gconf-editor can do it for you too
[10:32] <theosk> nice app, I love exploring these things ^
[10:32] <theosk> ^^
[10:32] <theosk> (my last comment shows how noob I am xD)
[10:35] <ocx32> how can i monitor if someone is trying to connect to a closed port on my system?
[10:35] <ocx32> i would like to do my own script
[10:36] <mrtaran123> eteran: im trying to compile madwifi driver
[10:36] <mrtaran123> eteran: i installed build essentials and kernel headers/sources
[10:37] <tigliona1bit> hi
[10:38] <tigliona1bit> When I apt-get update, I get this error: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2: Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[10:38] <incorrect> hello, i have configured a ubuntu box to auth against AD, i would like all the 'Domain Admins' to be able to sudo
[10:38] <incorrect> however %Domain Admins  ALL=(ALL) ALL gives an error in the config file
[10:39] <tigliona1bit> incorrect: probably because there's a space in the name
[10:40] <tigliona1bit> what do you mean by domain admins anyway?
[10:40] <incorrect> tigliona1bit: i figured as much,
[10:40] <incorrect> that the name of the AD group
[10:40] <tigliona1bit> the group has a space in the name?
[10:40] <incorrect> sadl
[10:40] <incorrect> sadly
[10:40] <tigliona1bit> can you change that?
[10:40] <incorrect> nope its a standard active directory group
[10:41] <mrtaran123> eteran: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1662/ heres a problem
[10:41] <incorrect> all i could do is create another
[10:41] <tigliona1bit> incorrect: um..  just a guess, but does %"Domain Admins" work?
[10:41] <incorrect> can suders work on GID ?
[10:41] <incorrect> i tried quoting it :(
[10:41] <tigliona1bit> oh, yes
[10:41] <incorrect> now the trick is getting the group id
[10:41] <tigliona1bit> look at /etc/passwd
[10:42] <incorrect> no
[10:42] <incorrect> its not in there
[10:42] <incorrect> its an active directory group
[10:42] <incorrect> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[10:42] <tigliona1bit> oh..  what's that?  Are you sure sudo can know about those?
[10:42] <incorrect> yes,  because groups can get the info from pam
[10:42] <incorrect> sudo must get info from pam too
[10:43] <eteran> mrtaran123, ok, i've no clue about that one, but somebody else might be able to help you with that more specific information
[10:43] <tigliona1bit> sorry, I don't know about these
[10:43] <incorrect> i want to restrict ssh access in a similar way
[10:45] <mrtaran123> okay thanks..

[10:46] <kiwi_> hey =)
[10:47] <mneptok> agliv5: prolly only beeps when the app does not have focus?
[10:47] <kiwi_> do you know how i can add a service in a runlevel, to start it at boot time ?
[10:47] <kiwi_> i have /etc/init.d/entranced and i'd like to add it to default runlevel ...
[10:47] <incorrect> tigliona1bit: FYI unix does not allow spaces in group names, solution create a group with no space and add people
[10:52] <KalmK> hello...
[10:52] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: man update-rc.d  - you probably want "defaults"

[10:54] <KalmK> there was a command like... chmod something but can someone please give me a more precise command?

[11:16] <mneptok> kobra: (pay attention to updating the font cache)

[11:16] <truthfatal> SO, for some reason (I don't know what the reason is yet) I can neither Right-click on my desktop nor does my wallpaper get loaded on login. I think I may have buggered up my sessions settings... the only recent changes I've made are tweaking some settings in beryl. mostly turning off options that I don't use, maybe something in there caused my problem. Does anyone have a hint that might help me out? What is the name of t
[11:16] <truthfatal> he app that controls the desktop (if it's not nautilus?)
[11:16] <mneptok> P3nnywise: so make one.
[11:17] <P3nnywise> mneptok: I cant open it :/ i can see it in the panel and it tells me no network conenction, but i cant do anything with it
[11:17] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:17] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:17] <mneptok> P3nnywise: and be aware that not all wireless chipset makers take the time to craft Linux drivers.
[11:17] <wilson> ok thanks guys dpkg -P skkinput did the trick...
[11:18] <haxality> nope, nevermind.
[11:18] <haxality> still can't install anything.
[11:18] <wilson> i can now do apt-get -f install
[11:18] <P3nnywise> mneptok: I use dlink so they probably didnt do it, they are to lazy
[11:18] <haxality> how could this suddenly happen like this?
[11:18] <black_13> haxality i am using fedora but im considering changing ... fedora installed the drivers ran great but  ati drivers nope
[11:18] <mneptok> P3nnywise: what NIC? what chipset? does it have Linux support? if so, is that module GPLed?
[11:18] <Lynoure> stephan21: have you mounted them with a read-only option? That could explain your question.
[11:18] <haxality> it was working fine 20 minutes ago, and now apt is completely useless
[11:18] <Lynoure> stephan21: (I'm just passing by, no time to help deeper now)
[11:19] <mneptok> P3nnywise: and as an extra hint, DLink does not make chipsets.
[11:19] <haxality> black_13: my other computer has an ATi graphics card. the install of the drivers was pretty painless
[11:19] <P3nnywise> mneptok: lol my bad, i thought of something else:P Its an atheros chipset :p
[11:19] <haxality> is there any way to fix apt-get? seriously, this really sucks
[11:19] <Jowi> truthfatal, see in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:19] <stephan21> Lynoure: ofcourse, y i need to edit the fstab.....common since but what do i edit it with
[11:19] <black_13> the computer that is using intel centrino driver a dell?
[11:19] <P3nnywise> mneptok: wouldnt it just be easier to configure wpa_supplicant on your own?
[11:20] <thoreauputic> haxality: try  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[11:20] <truthfatal> thanks Jowi
[11:20] <_james> i have install my nvidia driver.. how to know if it has been successfully installed? is there a command?
[11:20] <thoreauputic> haxality: sometimes fixes a borked dpkg, which is what apt relies on
[11:20] <haxality> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: field name `B' must be followed by colon
[11:20] <Lynoure> stephan21: you can do  sudo nano /etc/fstab   even :)

[11:20] <paul__> Hi, can someone help me out please, I am using the keyboard shortcut configuration in ubuntu and I want to configure an alternative Music player when the hot key is pressed, at the moment it opens in rythmbox or something, Anyone have an idea?
[11:20] <stephan21> Lynoure: i know but how lol
[11:21] <Lynoure> stephan21: What do you mean by how? What part are you not getting?
[11:21] <thoreauputic> haxality: how did you get this to happen?
[11:21] <_james> what's this error?  "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 16 02:20:42 2007"   got the error when i do sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:21] <haxality> paul__: go to System>Preferences>Preferred Applications
[11:21] <SHRIKEE> paul__, try system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[11:21] <mneptok> P3nnywise: sure. learn to create a hash of the AP pwd' put it the cohfig files. manually edit the interfaces. etc etc
[11:21] <haxality> thoreauputic: honestly, I don't know. I installed some firmware loading software for my USB MIDI keyboard. that's the last thing I can think of
[11:21] <stephan21> Lynoure: editing the the fstab i guess for write
[11:22] <paul__> SHRIKEE / haxality : neither of those have the ability to change the default music player
[11:22] <mneptok> P3nnywise: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[11:22] <thoreauputic> haxality: was it  deb package or some random thing from the web?
[11:22] <Lynoure> stephan21: write the command I told you above on a commandline
[11:22] <SHRIKEE> paul__, right click the file and set stuff there, i changed a lot of apps to open in other programs there
[11:22] <haxality> uhh. I wouldn't say 'some random thing', but yeah, it's from the internet
[11:22] <_james> what's this error?  "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 16 02:20:42 2007"   got the error when i do sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:22] <P3nnywise> mneptok: ive already got wpa_supplicant,
[11:22] <SHRIKEE> paul__, right click > properties that is
[11:22] <thoreauputic> haxality: sounds like it confused the packaging system....
[11:22] <haxality> blargh!
[11:22] <haxality> is there a way to fix it?
[11:23] <thoreauputic> haxality: you tried  sudo dpkg --configure -a  right ?
[11:23] <paul__> SHRIKEE / haxality : Already did that to open all MP3s with Exaile, but it still defaults and open with Rythmbox when I hit the hot key. Any more ideas?
[11:23] <haxality> ..yeah
[11:23] <stephan21> Lynoure: thats not going to give my write access just able to edit the fstab
[11:23] <P3nnywise> mneptok: and in it I wrote: network={ ssid="name" psk="pass" }
[11:23] <stephan21> Lynoure: i need write access to the drives lol
[11:23] <Lynoure> stephan21: yes it will, unless your system is all messed up
[11:23] <SHRIKEE> paul__, no
[11:23] <Lynoure> stephan21: that's why it starts with  sudo
[11:23] <stephan21> Lynoure: maybe i missed it
[11:23] <thoreauputic> haxality: you can try moving the file it complains about out of the way then re-running the command
[11:24] <mneptok> P3nnywise: that will not work.
[11:24] <haxality> really? hmm
[11:24] <paul__> SHRIKEE : Thanks anyway
[11:24] <stephan21> Lynoure: its umask something
[11:24] <P3nnywise> mneptok: So ive noticed
[11:24] <haxality> also, I only get these errors on some packages
[11:24] <thoreauputic> haxality: well, if it doesn't help, move it back :)
[11:24] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write
[11:25] <Asc> is cedega any good ? is it free ??
[11:25] <thoreauputic> haxality: what happens if you run  sudo apt-get -f install ?
[11:25] <stephan21> can someone tell me how to make my reiser fs and fat32 drives read/write IN FSTAB
[11:25] <thoreauputic> stephan21: don't repeat
[11:25] <Lynoure> stephan21: ah, the one that will not write to is also your /root partition?
[11:25] <haxality> thoreauputic: same error :(
[11:25] <Lynoure> stephan21: then you just need to remount it rw
[11:26] <haxality> how the bloody christmas did a single tiny script bork everything so severely?
[11:26] <stephan21> awww i hate my life lol
[11:26] <haxality> I was always under the impression linux was completely capable of compiling and like, running software
[11:26] <thoreauputic> haxality: so try renaming/moving the file it complains about and try  sudo apt-get -f install again , or sudo dpkg --configure -a  or both
[11:26] <stephan21> Lynoure: thats what im trying to do in fstab
[11:27] <thoreauputic> haxality: apparently that file has asyntax error if I remember your error
[11:27] <stephan21> Lynoure: UUID=39e85568-df8b-4b5c-b3ed-968ea679b6fb /media/2     reiserfs defaults        0       2
[11:27] <haxality> that file errors it every time
[11:27] <stephan21> # /dev/hdb4
[11:27] <haxality> wait a second.
[11:27] <stephan21> Lynoure: thats my drive...but its only readf
[11:27] <Lynoure> stephan21: And you tried remounting as rw already?
[11:27] <haxality> I think I might have uncommented some repos
[11:27] <haxality> in my sources.list
[11:27] <paul__> SHRIKEE / haxality : FYI, solution located :- Easiest way to create symlink to proper app, i.e. "ln -s /usr/bin/exaile /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox"
[11:27] <thoreauputic> haxality: :/
[11:27] <haxality> er, commented
[11:27] <haxality> would that do it?

[11:27] <thoreauputic> !easysource | haxality
[11:27] <ubotu> haxality: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:28] <Lynoure> stephan21: that is   sudo -o remount,rw mountpointname
[11:28] <thoreauputic> haxality: if your sources are borked, yes, you will get errors
[11:28] <stephan21> Lynoure: i dont wanna have to do it everytime.....should be able to edit fstab to do it when system starts
[11:28] <haxality> ok.
[11:29] <haxality> so, couldn't I go and uncomment those repos and do aptitude update/upgrade to fix it?
[11:29] <Lynoure> stephan21: after your /root is rw, you can edit the fstab
[11:29] <thoreauputic> haxality: make sure you update after fixing your /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:29] <thoreauputic> haxality: you can uncomment them, assuming they are actually right :)
[11:29] <Lynoure> stephan21: if it is already, you can edit it now as sudo, if not, you cannot really skip this step to edit it
[11:30] <stephan21> Lynoure: i can already edit it
[11:30] <stephan21> Lynoure: i just dont know what to edit it with
[11:30] <haxality> nope, didn't fix it.
[11:30] <stephan21> Lynoure: for the write that is
[11:30] <thoreauputic> haxality: it isn't magic - if you remove something that is needed for dependencies apt will complain
[11:31] <shinobi2> i installed libnet-ssh-perl ; but when i run perl script, i have http://rafb.net/p/xaFvrl68.html
[11:31] <haxality> ok.
[11:31] <haxality> well, this is good, apt is actually updating packages now
[11:31] <thoreauputic> cool :)
[11:31] <ocx32> where can i read iptables log?
[11:32] <Lynoure> stephan21: What you have does not look like it should be ro. The problem is not just that a normal user cannot write to it?
[11:32] <haxality> oh yay, error again!
[11:32] <thoreauputic> ocx32: usually /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/messages depending how you configured iptables
[11:32] <Lynoure> stephan21: But like I warned earlier, gotta go now, good luck.
[11:32] <SHRIKEE> anyone know about routing and vpn?
[11:32] <haxality> sigh.
[11:33] <Lynoure> !anyone | SHRIKEE
[11:33] <ubotu> SHRIKEE: 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?
[11:33] <SHRIKEE> *sigh*
[11:33] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: Many people here know plenty about those.
[11:33] <SHRIKEE> heh k
[11:33] <haxality> ok, so assuming that I broke it by commenting out repos, and I just uncommented them, how, theoretically, could I get apt somewhere near working condition again?
[11:33] <Tmi> So I might get my new widescreen monitor today that I've ordered - do you guys reckon it might be troublesome to get it installed in Ubuntu, or should it all work from the start? (I have my nvidia drivers installed so that should be no problem)
[11:33] <thoreauputic> SHRIKEE: that implied question is incredibly vague :)
[11:33] <Asc> is cedega any good, I've tried Wine but didnt get my games to work right
[11:33] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: But at least I'm too tired to milk out the question every time....
[11:34] <haxality> Tmi: should be a matter of plugging it in and picking the right resolution
[11:34] <SHRIKEE> well, ive got a VPN which kinda works. but my msn and mail are not routed through the vpn connection when i connect it. how to fix that
[11:34] <Flannel> haxality: sudo apt-get update
[11:34] <thoreauputic> !cedega
[11:34] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[11:34] <Tmi> ah, that's what I hoped :)
[11:34] <haxality> Flannel: I still can't install packages
[11:34] <Flannel> haxality: what error do you get?
[11:34] <linux_user400354> free cedega downloads via torrents
[11:35] <haxality> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: field name `B' must be followed by colon
[11:35] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: this isn't a warez channel
[11:35] <haxality> I've tried replacing that file with the old version, and renaming it completely, neither fixed that error
[11:35] <thoreauputic> haxality: and is it?
[11:35] <mneptok> linux_user400354: stop advertising illegal torrents
[11:35] <haxality> and is what?
[11:35] <thoreauputic> hexidigital: followed by a colon
[11:36] <haxality> erm
[11:36] <haxality> one second
[11:36] <SHRIKEE> Lynoure well, ive got a VPN which kinda works. but my msn and mail are not routed through the vpn connection when i connect it. how to fix that
[11:36] <linux_user400354> why is the i686 kernel in the ubuntu repositories obsolete?
[11:36] <thoreauputic> !generic | linux_user400354
[11:36] <ubotu> linux_user400354: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[11:36] <haxality> well, seeing as how it's somehow hashed, I couldn't tell you
[11:36] <mneptok> linux_user400354: because as of Edgy Ubuntu is using a -generic kernel
[11:36] <haxality> all you see in a text editor is garbage
[11:37] <ocx32> thoreauputic: i see the log but the port number is not displayed in thast log
[11:37] <haxality> there is a B, though
[11:37] <linux_user400354> why is it better to use generic? what if you arent changing out the cpu or going to try to run the hard drive on another computer?
[11:37] <ocx32> i would like to log the port number that the intruder tried to open
[11:37] <Tmi> the word "generic", does it mean something like "for all"?
[11:37] <Flannel> Tmi: correct
[11:37] <thoreauputic> ocx32: you might want to increase the verbosity in your iptables log level
[11:38] <thoreauputic> !iptables | ocx32
[11:38] <ubotu> ocx32: 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).
[11:38] <Flannel> linux_user400354: what?  Well, if you switch arches completely (386 to ppc for instance) you'd need to reinstall
[11:38] <kiwi_> thoreauputic : thanks =)
[11:39] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: I saw your question, but I'm not here at the moment long enough to help you, as I need to get some real work done (this is not my paid job). Someone else probably will.
[11:39] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: i've forgotten what you are thanking men for, but you're welcome anyway :)
[11:39] <haxality> 3~!$#
[11:39] <haxality> this is frustrating.
[11:39] <thoreauputic> errr -- men/me
[11:39] <kiwi_> thoreauputic: update-rc.d =)
[11:39] <Flannel> linux_user400354: generic uses all the optimizations for specific processors, it just determines them at runtime
[11:39] <SHRIKEE> Lynoure, hmm
[11:39] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: ahah ! :)
[11:39] <stephan21> can someone please tell my how i set write access to my reiser fs in fstab
[11:39] <kiwi_> you know where i can find any docs about all the ubuntu scripts like update-rc ... etc ..
[11:39] <kiwi_> ?
[11:40] <SHRIKEE> !vpn
[11:40] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[11:40] <hjmills> does anybody have wifi roaming working "perfectly"??
[11:40] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: debian.org is a good starting point, probably
[11:40] <Tomcat_> hjmills: Not even Windows/OSX users have that. ;D
[11:40] <SHRIKEE> hjmills, pretty much, with networkmanager
[11:40] <thoreauputic> kiwi_: most of this stuff is debian
[11:40] <haxality> OSXs wifi is actually pretty awful from my experience
[11:40] <Tomcat_> hjmills: But it works alright with nm, as SHRIKEE said.
[11:40] <haxality> but I don't want to start any flame wars :P
[11:40] <linux_user400354> does anyone have gaim 2.0 or 2.0..5 beta?
[11:41] <thoreauputic> haxality: depends a lot on hardware
[11:41] <Tomcat_> haxality: Sure, and much better than for Win or Linux, but it's not what I would call "perfect" :)
[11:41] <haxality> yeah, I just meant the UI part of it
[11:41] <thoreauputic> haxality: ie. driver availability
[11:41] <hjmills> Tomcat_ & SHRIKEE: thanks
[11:41] <thoreauputic> haxality: network-manager is pretty good
[11:41] <haxality> yeah
[11:41] <haxality> ok, so if aptitude is broken, what can I do to fix it.
[11:42] <Flannel> linux_user400354: 2.0 is in edgy
[11:42] <haxality> I'm pretty much willing to remove the entire thing and install it from scratch
[11:42] <thoreauputic> haxality: catch 22 - dpkg/apt is broken, which makes uninstalling it rather problematic
[11:42] <FirstStrike> what in the world
[11:42] <haxality> damnation!
[11:42] <FirstStrike> whenever i run wine X crashes
[11:42] <haxality> this is so irksome.
[11:43] <haxality> of all the stuff to suddenly kick the bucket, it had to be the entire package management system
[11:43] <treb0r> Anybody got a moment?
[11:43] <SHRIKEE> who knows how to setup proper routes for vpn or knows where i can find ubuntu tutorials
[11:44] <thoreauputic> haxality: this is why when you follow howtos it pays to undertand that there's a risk to the packaging system in stuff that does an end run around it
[11:44] <treb0r> I've been having problems with an ubuntu install I did for a friend. Everything seems ok, but copy and paste are dodgy in evolution...
[11:44] <thoreauputic> !vpn
[11:44] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[11:44] <SHRIKEE> thoreauputic, that didnt help
[11:44] <haxality> thoreauputic: right, but I've been using linux for like 3 years and my experience has always been that compiled/installed programs played nice with package managers
[11:45] <haxality> also, it's a little bit short-sighted to expect every piece of software on the entire internet to come prepackaged for ubuntu/debian
[11:45] <thoreauputic> SHRIKEE: ah, well that's all I know to give you, sorry
[11:45] <haxality> I should have used that dpkg-building thing
[11:45] <haxality> :/
[11:45] <haxality> is there some slim chance that if I remove the software I installed, it will fix it?
[11:45] <SHRIKEE> np, gotta go now. ill look into it more, later
[11:45] <thoreauputic> haxality: yeah, usually - I agree ( assuming the stuff goes somewhere safe like /usr/local or /opt )
[11:46] <haxality> well, this software tied into udev somehow.. could that be the root of the problem?
[11:46] <thoreauputic> haxality: ooh - deep voodoo in udev, yeah
[11:46] <haxality> aha, I didn't know that
[11:46] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: do you already have the vpn as your default route, e.g. done   sudo ip route replace default dev ppp0  or similar?
[11:46] <thoreauputic> haxality: I don't understand it yet myself :)
[11:46] <haxality> I always thought udev was faaaar distanced from apt
[11:47] <haxality> ok, good, this is making progress
[11:47] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: Yep, I should be working, but it is hard leaving people in a bind
[11:47] <linux_user400354> !nvidia
[11:47] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:47] <thoreauputic> haxality: udev is the underlying stuff that talks with HAl and is connected with hardware recognition etc
[11:47] <haxality> any remote clue as to how one would go about removing something from udev
[11:47] <thoreauputic> haxality: that's roughly what I think I know - don't quote me :)
[11:48] <haxality> oop nm 'make uninstall' did it nicely
[11:48] <_james> how to automatically mount ntfs partition on boot up?
[11:48] <Lynoure> SHRIKEE: if unsure, pastebin the result of  route
[11:48] <haxality> ok.
[11:48] <thoreauputic> !ntfs
[11:48] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:48] <haxality> let's hope this fixes it
[11:48] <haxality> #!$#!$!@#
[11:48] <haxality> I can't believe this. i spent like a month getting this system set up perfectly, and I just hosed it in like 3 commands
[11:49] <_james> !ntfs-3g
[11:49] <thoreauputic> haxality: yeah, it happens, unfortunately
[11:49] <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)
[11:49] <Flannel> haxality: that's ok.  You can back everything up, and reinstalls aren't that painful with proper backups
[11:49] <haxality> oh?
[11:49] <_james> !fuse
[11:49] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:49] <_james> can i use ntfs-3g on dapper?
[11:49] <thoreauputic> haxality: do you have a separate /home partition?
[11:50] <haxality> I know I can like, make a giant .tar of my filesystem, but would it be possible to back up what packages I have installed
[11:50] <Flannel> haxality: yeah, you might even be able to get a dpkg -l to work, so you even know what packages you have
[11:50] <Flannel> haxality: dpkg -l
[11:50] <haxality> awesome
[11:50] <Flannel> haxality: assuming it doesn't error ;)
[11:50] <haxality> GARGH
[11:50] <thoreauputic> haxality: have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:50] <haxality> it errors too
[11:51] <haxality> oh wow
[11:51] <haxality> there's a crapload of .debs in there
[11:51] <thoreauputic> haxality: if dpkg -l errors , you are in deep doo doo
[11:51] <Lynoure> haxality: dpkg --get-selections  is a tad neater
[11:51] <thoreauputic> Lynoure: his dpkg is borked
[11:51] <haxality> Lynoure: unfortunately, my dpkg is completely broken
[11:51] <thoreauputic> yup
[11:51] <emss> haxality:  /var/cache/apt/archives, you could also use a rescue cd and reinstall :)
[11:52] <emss> oh someone said it already sorry :\
[11:52] <Lynoure> haxality: ouch.
[11:52] <thoreauputic> haxality: if you feel geeky, you can start from scratch in a chroot using debootstrap :)
[11:52] <haxality> I am intrigued.
[11:52] <Flannel> haxality: /var/cache/dpkg/status should have indications of what you have installed
[11:52] <thoreauputic> haxality: hang on a tic
[11:52] <haxality> basically, I can back up my /home to my external HDD
[11:53] <SeraVitae> can someone name a program for talking over serial ports? i installed one in ubuntu the other day but i forgot the name.
[11:53] <SeraVitae> had a c in it i think
[11:53] <afflux> any way to play an audio cd via terminal?
[11:53] <haxality> I don't even have a /var/cache/dpkg directory :O
[11:53] <emss> afflux: cdio mplayer etc.
[11:53] <Flannel> haxality: haha.  well, that explains why dpkg is borked ;)
[11:53] <haxality> wow
[11:53] <Lynoure> haxality: What did you do to it? :)
[11:54] <haxality> how the flying expletive deleted did I manage to do that
[11:54] <[h] tony|afk> moinmoin
[11:54] <haxality> as much as I want to pretend like I know what I'm doing, linux continues to blow my mind
[11:55] <thoreauputic> haxality: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/426
[11:55] <Flannel> haxality: were you playing around in a root terminal perhaps?
[11:55] <thoreauputic> haxality: debootsrap ( fun but a bit convoluted - you can also use it to install ubuntu withthe right repos)
[11:56] <treb0r> I've been having problems with an ubuntu install I did for a friend. Everything seems ok, but copy and paste are dodgy in evolution...
[11:56] <thoreauputic> Flannel: good guess :)
[11:56] <Flannel> !install  | haxality, the Knoppix howto explains how to install from debbootstrap
[11:56] <ubotu> haxality, the Knoppix howto explains how to install from debbootstrap: 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
[11:56] <haxality> Flannel: no.. all I've done root-wise in the last few hours is install that one piece of software, and do a whole bunch of apt-ing
[11:56] <prestocaso> hello all
[11:56] <haxality> hmm.
[11:56] <haxality> say I wanted to take the lazy route and just install it from the Ubuntu CD
[11:57] <prestocaso> got a issue with my audio on my new laptop
[11:57] <haxality> how difficult would it be to just feed it a list of packages and have it reinstall them
[11:57] <prestocaso> meaning no audio
[11:57] <thoreauputic> haxality: no real problem - just back up your data I guess
[11:57] <Flannel> haxality: remember to back up your /etc ;)  all that configuration stuff is what kills reinstalls.  Well, if you have apache configred and stuff
[11:57] <prestocaso> any takers please
[11:57] <Jordan_U> How to I suspend the computer though the terminal ( or a script ) ?
[11:57] <thoreauputic> haxality: see dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections
[11:57] <haxality> I hate linux because it can be confoundingly easy to break it, I love linux because a complete reinstall is the most painless process ever given proper backups
[11:58] <haxality> thoreauputic: bzzt! no dpkg!
[11:58] <haxality> :P
[11:58] <stephan21> can someone please tell my how i set write access to my reiser fs in fstab
[11:58] <thoreauputic> haxality: doh - I mean after reinstalling
[11:58] <Flannel> haxality: linux assumes you know what youre doing.  Whether that's for good, or for evil.
[11:58] <haxality> haha
[11:58] <haxality> this is true.
[11:58] <haxality> I don't blame it
[11:58] <thoreauputic> haxality: you can use those with your saved deb packages
[11:58] <mneptok> haxality: it's NOT confoundingly easy to break Windows?!
[11:58] <haxality> mneptok: not really, at least in my experience
[11:58] <haxality> mneptok: then again, it was the only OS I used from the first time I touched a computer until like 2 months ago
[11:58] <cherva> hi all i have installed beryl but when i wanted to test the motion blur only the mouse is working I cant restart gnome or log in to console (Ctrl + F1,2,3,...) pls help
[11:59] <bizkut> ubuntu rocks!!
[11:59] <bizkut> :DD
[11:59] <thoreauputic> haxality: deleting system files on windows is not hard ;-)
[11:59] <bizkut> cherva:
[11:59] <prestocaso> i want ubuntu to rock to but i cant here anything
[11:59] <prestocaso> oops i mean hear
[11:59] <thoreauputic> haxality: or corrupting them...
 ?????
[11:59] <haxality> don't get me wrong, I still hate windows
[11:59] <Jordan_U> mneptok: lets put it this way, it is easier to do something wrong and screw up linux, it's also easy to do everything right and still screw up windows :)
[12:00] <haxality> heh
[12:00] <haxality> very well said, Jordan_U
[12:00] <haxality> ok. so let me get this straight. I need to back up /etc/ as well as the obvious stuff like my /home/
[12:00] <haxality> copy all those .debs
[12:00] <haxality> anything else?
[12:00] <bizkut> cherva: ctrl+alt+ backspace
[12:00] <Homer_mobile> Hiya is there a threaded encoding app at the moment im using devede but it does not take advantage of my dual core
 i sad the PC is not responding i can't restart gnome
[12:01] <prestocaso> anyone here want to help me with my audio please im so close to getting everything set up
[12:01] <thoreauputic> haxality: make sure you get the hidden files in /home/you ( tar will do that for you IIRC)
[12:02] <Jordan_U> haxality: If you don't mind re-downloading everything it would probably be easier to get and set selections than to back up the .debs themselves.
[12:02] <cherva> i can only use recovery console mode how can i stop beryl from booting on startup ?
[12:02] <haxality> Jordan_U: I'm alright with that, actually
[12:02] <thoreauputic> haxality: I suggest that you reintroduce the /etc/  stuff gradually in case something is broken in there too
[12:02] <haxality> Jordan_U: the fewer dodgy packages, the better
[12:03] <prestocaso> anyone??
[12:03] <thoreauputic> haxality: if you have decent bandwidth, reinstalling from the net is not too horrible ( i mean packages etc)
[12:03] <cherva> how can I stop beryl from starting on startup from the recovery console
[12:03] <haxality> thoreauputic: I'm completely ok with it, as long as someone tells me what I have to do
[12:03] <haxality> heh
[12:03] <haxality> I would read the dpkg help stuff, but..
[12:04] <CheshireViking> how much space would i need to install ubuntu? i want to set up a dual boot on a windows xp machine, but there's only 10Gb free before I do any repartioning & i'll need to leave 1/2 that for windows - would 5gb be ok?
[12:04] <Homer_mobile> Just remove berly-manager
[12:04] <thoreauputic> haxality: reading about debootstrap and chroots is interesting anyway, if that kind of thing is your bag
[12:04] <bizkut> CheshireViking: 2g will be ok
[12:04] <Jordan_U> haxality: dpkg --get-selections > foo.txt on your current install then cat foo.txt | sudo dpkg --set-selections on your fresh install
[12:04] <haxality> awesome Jordan_U, thank you
[12:05] <thoreauputic> haxality: I have Debian sid running in a chroot on Ubuntu here as it happens :)
[12:05] <haxality> thoreauputic: I actually love highly nerdy stuff like that, I just find it hard to try out experimental new install techniques on my main computer
  how to remove it when I am in recovery console mode i know what to remove
[12:05] <thoreauputic> haxality: fair enough :)
[12:05] <haxality> thoreauputic: also, chroot is probably the single greatest command ever created
[12:05] <linux_user400354> cherva: sudo apt-get remove beryl-manager
[12:05] <thoreauputic> haxality: :))
[12:06] <prestocaso> can someone please help me with my audio issue on my laptop
[12:06] <haxality> I had a lengthy conversation with my only linux zealot friend about it actually
[12:06] <haxality> it was excellent
[12:06] <cherva> i dont want to remove it from my pc just not to boot at start up
[12:06] <thoreauputic> haxality: the really cool thing is that my Debian chroot is not in vmware/qemu etc - so it runs at native speed
[12:06] <cherva> so i can log in and remove the motion blur
[12:06] <CheshireViking> bizkut: that sounds promising, maybe see what i can remove from windows first & then defrag the drive & see how much space can be free'd up, i'd like to get 5gb for ubuntu, plus the swap
[12:07] <prestocaso> cna anyone else see my typing
[12:07] <haxality> thoreauputic: that's exactly what we were talking about, heh
[12:07] <thoreauputic> haxality: :D
[12:07] <linux_user400354> cherva: rm -rf beryl*
[12:07] <linux_user400354> cherva: that will remove the blur
[12:07] <haxality> Jordan_U: ..one slight problem. what if I can't do dpkg --get-selections?
[12:08] <haxality> couldn't I just boot the ubuntu livecd and chroot to my current install to run all this stuff?
[12:08] <Jordan_U> haxality: I actually just tried it and it didn't work the way I hoped it would
[12:08] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: that isn't particularly funny
[12:08] <Jordan_U> haxality: Why can't you ?
[12:08] <haxality> I'm asking, can I?
[12:08] <haxality> my dpkg is completely dead
[12:08] <haxality> it can't do anything
[12:09] <linux_user400354> cherva: sorry, its rm -rf .beryl*
[12:09] <linux_user400354> cherva it will give you all settings back to default
[12:09] <thoreauputic> haxality: well if you chroot to your existing install dpkg will not work - but if you make a separate chroot...
[12:09] <Jordan_U> haxality: Oh, most likely, as long as it's not segfaulting or anything truly nasty like that
[12:09] <haxality> blargh
[12:09] <prestocaso> can anyone else see my text
[12:09] <haxality> last time I friggin break core system components.
[12:09] <linux_user400354> prestocaso: no
[12:09] <Flannel> prestocaso: nope
[12:10] <thoreauputic> haxality: this is where debootstrap can help, if you want to do the research
[12:10] <prestocaso> or am i just being ignored
[12:10] <_james> need help how can i read and write access through a mounted ntfs partition from windows? help anyone.. i already followed the fuse but i can't access
[12:10] <prestocaso> ah ok
[12:10] <linux_user400354> thoreauputic: wasnt supposed to be funny
[12:10] <thoreauputic> haxality: IRC is not the best place to do a howto  :)
[12:10] <haxality> yeah
[12:10] <prestocaso> now i assume you can correct
[12:10] <haxality> I completely understand
[12:10] <haxality> ok.
[12:10] <haxality> I was tarring up my home dir
[12:10] <haxality> and it errored, I THINK
[12:10] <eb[O] th> how can i register a chanel??
[12:10] <haxality> saying file size limit exceeded.
[12:10] <Flannel> eb[O] th: /msg chanserv help
[12:10] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: well, how is removing beryl going to help the guy if he actually wants beryl working?
[12:11] <eb[O] th> thx
[12:11] <Flannel> linux_user400354: that sort of thing will get you banned, by the way.
[12:11] <prestocaso> hello again flannel
[12:11] <_james> need help how can i read and write access through a mounted ntfs partition from windows? help anyone.. i already followed the fuse but i can't access
[12:11] <prestocaso> install went fine just have no audio
[12:11] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: you are already on thin ice from a while back
[12:12] <linux_user400354> thoreauputic: first he asked to remove beryl, so i told him how to do it with apt. second he asked how to remove the blur effect, i told him how to reset all settings back to default. third i dont care what you say.
[12:13] <haxality> am I basically gonna have to back up all those .debs?
[12:13] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: sorry, I misread your post -  I missed the dot :)
[12:13] <haxality> or is there some magic way to get a list of currently installed packages
[12:13] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: so, misunderstanding
[12:13] <treb0r> I've been having problems with an ubuntu install I did for a friend. Everything seems ok, but copy and paste are dodgy in evolution...
[12:13] <_james> !ntfs-3g
[12:13] <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)
[12:13] <prestocaso> hello flannel??
[12:14] <haxality> also, I need to split an archive.
[12:14] <haxality> how do I do this with tar
[12:14] <thoreauputic> linux_user400354: in this case what I think doesn't matter, but it would if I decided to remove you :) Anyway, my apologies for missing the correction, OK ?
[12:14] <Flannel> prestocaso: howdy
[12:14] <prestocaso> hello and thansk for thfo earlier
[12:15] <thoreauputic> hexidigital: use the split command
[12:15] <Flannel> !sound | prestocaso
[12:15] <ubotu> prestocaso: 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
[12:15] <prestocaso> ubuntus running on the laptop just dont
[12:15] <prestocaso> oops ill check those links
[12:17] <Jordan_U> haxality: Sorry, I am tired, the correct way to install the packages from the foo.txt selections list is to: sudo dpkg --set-selections < foo.txt && sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
[12:17] <haxality> Jordan_U: it's cool, I
[12:17] <haxality> am also sleepy.
[12:18] <haxality> however, I cannot use dpkg in any respect
[12:18] <julo> hi
[12:18] <haxality> is there some kludgy way I can temporarily fix dpkg, so I can make the list
[12:18] <julo> I'm trying to test compiz on feisty. Do I only need to install desktop-effects ? Or do I also need xserver-xgl ?
[12:19] <Jordan_U> haxality: You actually tried, I would think that the --get-selections switch would work even when you can't do much else with dpkg? ( again unless it's just segfaulting or something )
[12:19] <haxality> yeah, I did try
[12:19] <haxality> it's no good
[12:20] <haxality> trust me, if there's a way for me to make a magic text file that installs all my packages for me, I want to do it
[12:20] <prestocaso> hey flannel can i share a bit of info with you about my sound card
[12:20] <Jordan_U> julo: #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[12:21] <roxlu> hi all!
[12:21] <roxlu> when I changed /etc/fstab is there a way to 'reload' it ? w/o restarting?
[12:22] <julo> Jordan_U: thanks
[12:23] <gma> roxlu: depends a bit on how you've changed it
[12:23] <gma> roxlu: if you've removed stuff from it, no
[12:23] <roxlu> I added a samba mount
[12:24] <gma> roxlu: best thing to do is just to try mounting the dir that you've configured it to mount on
[12:24] <gma> roxlu: it'll read fstab for the details
[12:24] <gma> roxlu: so mount /path/to/samba will do it
[12:24] <roxlu> oke
[12:25] <christopherl> I think I killed my Ubuntu when I Installed Debian. How can I see if its still alive?
[12:25] <AndrewB|School> Is there a general translator channel? I am translating for scots..there is only 2 members.. n point in joining  #ubuntu-scots
[12:25] <majesty89> hi, can anybody help me about /usr/bin/ld -lesd couldn't found error?
[12:25] <roxlu> gma, how do I seperate the contents in fstab? spaces or tabs?
[12:26] <AndrewB|School> roxlu it dont matter.. both work
[12:26] <roxlu> hmm I get a error message
[12:26] <gma> roxlu: doesn't matter
[12:27] <prestocaso> laptop:~$ aplay --list-devices

[12:27] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso dont flood.
[12:27] <prestocaso> is my sound card on
[12:27] <prestocaso> sorry
[12:27] <roxlu> gma: this is what i've got: http://paste-it.net/vd7f494
[12:27] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso look like it yeah. try alsaconfig
[12:28] <prestocaso> ok thanks
[12:28] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso or alsamixer even
[12:28] <roxlu> I get an error online 3, that its "bad"
[12:28] <Jordan_U> haxality: It looks like ( I am just guessing though ) that dpkg --get-selections just parses the file /var/lib/dpkg/status so you may be able to replace that file on a machine with a working dpkg and run --get-selections from there
[12:29] <haxality> hmmm ok
[12:29] <haxality> cool
[12:29] <haxality> by the way, thanks for all the help
[12:29] <Jordan_U> haxality: Don't depend on that working though :)
[12:29] <haxality> yeah, I think I'm gonna steer clear of it actually
[12:29] <haxality> I really don't mind doing a fresh install, to be honest
[12:30] <haxality> it makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something!
[12:30] <haxality> :D
[12:30] <haxality> one question.
[12:30] <roxlu> gma: its about that "cifs" line.. but yesterday I heard that was the "new" way of mounting a samba share
[12:30] <gma> roxlu: I hardly ever use samba. sorry, can't help you.
[12:30] <haxality> if I use split to make smaller files, how do I reassemble them?
[12:30] <majesty89> hello, can anybody help me about /usr/bin/ld -lesd couldn't found error??? at least, you can say we don't know :)
[12:31] <AndrewB|School> roxlu give us the 'bad line'
[12:31] <roxlu> AndrewB|School: http://paste-it.net/vd7f494
[12:32] <Jordan_U> majesty89: No offense, but if everybody commented to say they didn't know it would flood the channel, If nobody answers, chances are nobody knows
[12:32] <gma> haxality: try cat
[12:32] <gma> haxality: cat file1 file2 file3 > bigfile
[12:32] <haxality> ..what? oh, right
[12:32] <gma> haxality: (maybe)
[12:33] <haxality> well let's try it with a test file
[12:33] <daning> how to change #mh in claws mails
[12:33] <daning> where do claws mails keep my emails?
[12:33] <roxlu> AndrewB|School: any idea?
[12:34] <AndrewB|School>   roxlu  try http://paste-it.net/952
[12:34] <roxlu> AndrewB|School: what did you change? (the auto?)
[12:34] <AndrewB|School> the fyle system
[12:34] <AndrewB|School> file
[12:35] <AndrewB|School> sorry been translating, in scots mode
[12:35] <roxlu> oh yeah, tried that.. and than: mount //gamma/web
[12:35] <prestocaso> hmmmm everything seems setup andrewB but still no audio
[12:35] <roxlu> mean: mount //domain/share
[12:35] <roxlu> than I get "Can't find //domain/share in your fstab ??"
[12:35] <pramz> roxlu: what are you trying to do ? automount smb filesystems at boot ?
[12:36] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso unmute everything the ntest it with echo 'foooooooooooo' >> /dev/dsp
[12:36] <roxlu> pramz: yes
[12:36] <haxality> holy
[12:36] <haxality> it works
[12:36] <pramz> roxlu: if you want to mount a share called files on a machine called box1
[12:36] <gma> haxality: well wha'd'ya know
[12:36] <pramz> then the first part is //box1/files
[12:36] <haxality> gma: thank you
[12:36] <gma> haxality: cat; does what it says on the tin!
[12:36] <haxality> seriously!
[12:36] <gma> haxality: np
[12:37] <roxlu> pramz:  so  thats the "//domain/share" here: http://paste-it.net/vd7f494
[12:37] <haxality> haha I love how the split man page has Richard Stallman in the credits
[12:37] <pramz> roxlu: yes
[12:37] <roxlu> yes, still te samen :-(
[12:37] <roxlu> -n
[12:37] <pramz> roxlu: can you mount it manually ?
[12:37] <roxlu> yes i can
[12:38] <roxlu> but I want to 'auto-mount' it... can't I run a .sh file on startup?
[12:38] <hagabaka> how can I find out what version of ubuntu is running?
[12:38] <gma> hagabaka: cat /etc/issue
[12:38] <pramz> what error do you get ?
[12:38] <hagabaka> ah, thanks
[12:39] <prestocaso> everything is turned up and unmuted andrew
[12:39] <gma> hagabaka: there may be a cleaner way (that's the getty login prompt message)
[12:39] <prestocaso> still no sound
[12:39] <roxlu> pramz: mount: can't find //domain/share in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:39] <JdGordon> hey, how do i figure out what is causing my computer to hang on shutdown after the ubuntu shutting down screen?
[12:39] <pramz> oh
[12:39] <pramz> type mount <mountpoint>
[12:39] <pramz> like if the line is
[12:39] <gma> hagabaka: issues.net doesn't have the new lines on, but you can't really rely on it as it could easily change from version to version (in format)
[12:39] <gma> hagabaka: s/issues.net/issue.net/
[12:40] <pramz> //box1/files /mnt/box1/files smbfs credentials /home/pramz/.smbpasswd auto 0 0
[12:40] <hagabaka> the newlines?
[12:40] <roxlu> hmm so : mount mnt/domain/share, when usin gthis: mnt/domain/share
[12:40] <pramz> then mount /mnt/box1/files
[12:40] <pramz> if that dir does not exist then mkdir -p /mnt/box1/files
[12:40] <roxlu> yes I'm doing that.. still the same
[12:40] <gma> hagabaka: I've got Ubuntu 6.10 \n \l, followed by a blank line in /etc/issue
[12:40] <hagabaka> ah, \n \l
[12:40] <gma> hagabaka: my issue.net doesn't have them
[12:40] <pramz> can you ping the server by name ?
[12:40] <pramz> as in ping box1
[12:41] <gma> hagabaka: issue.net is the prompt for remote logins; many admins change it
[12:41] <prestocaso> anything else andrewB
[12:41] <haxality> haha I'm starting to think it might be slightly resource-hungry to ask split to make 1500meg files
[12:41] <AndrewB|School> prestocaso what chipset was it?
[12:42] <christopherl> Im on Debian now, I can't boot up my old Ubuntu, there is no Ubuntu to choose in Boot menu
[12:42] <christopherl> anyone?
[12:42] <prestocaso> HDA ATI SB andrew
[12:43] <prestocaso> its a gateway mx6431 laptop
[12:43] <sasy> chi mi aiuta?
[12:43] <roxlu> gma, AndrewB|School pramz got it! there needed a comma between the "auto" working now
[12:43] <pramz> roxlu: awesome
[12:43] <crimsun> prestocaso: 6.10?

[12:49] <surabaya`> How made ubuntu as router
[12:49] <linux_user400354> surabaya`: iptables
[12:49] <rockzman> hello everyone
[12:49] <prestocaso> hllo
[12:49] <aldelv> HI all,  I have  this strange problem that my keyboard produces spurious dupliccate characters.  I do not have  this problem under windows.  Suggestions
[12:49] <serishema> surbyaya: the easiest way if you don't know anything about iptables is to use a program called kmyfirewall
[12:49] <serishema> it has a template that will do a no frills set up for you
[12:49] <rockzman> I need a tool that sends me an alarm everytime an user log in on my system do anyone know such tool osr sshd plugin
[12:50] <surabaya`> How made ubuntu as router Beginning with early of the installation any tutorial ?
[12:51] <ttmrichter> linux_user400354: I get it anytime a find walks through /proc.
[12:51] <ttmrichter> linux_user400354: I just learned to prune /proc from the list.  Or stick to a single file system or whatever..
[12:51] <ttmrichter> surabaya`: You have to mess with iptables or use a third-party tool to configure them yourself.
[12:51] <linux_user400354> ttmrichter: i didnt. chris@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo find /proc -iname a
[12:51] <linux_user400354> chris@ubuntu:~/Desktop$
[12:52] <serishema> ssurabya: once installed if using gnome open synaptic, if using KDE open adept. Enable the multiverse and universe repositories as shown in the FAQ in the channel topic. Install ky myfirewall
[12:52] <serishema> once installed open terminal and type sudo kymyfirewall
[12:52] <serishema> select the internet router template and follow the on screen instructions
[12:52] <prestocaso> did you happen to get that info crimsun
[12:53] <rockzman> I need a tool that sends me an alarm everytime an user log in on my system do anyone know such tool osr sshd plugin
[12:53] <perka> Is it possible to boot off a cd and then use a dvd iso from a usb drive to install ubuntu?
[12:53] <serishema> perka: it may be with the undocumented expert mode.
[12:53] <surabaya`> If ip public I 222.
[12:53] <surabaya`> 134.
[12:53] <surabaya`> 0.
[12:53] <surabaya`> 155 in eth0 how seting and configurasi (he ordered)
[12:54] <surabaya`> If ip public I 222.134.0.155 in eth0 how seting and configurasi (he ordered)
[12:54] <perka> serishema, so is there anywhere you can read anything about that? :)
[12:54] <serishema> surbaya: try using the gnome network configuration option in the system administration menu. However these are basic questions that are all answered in the FAQ
[12:54] <serishema> hold on i'll have a look
[12:54] <linux_user400354> ttmrichter: you could use the -mount option of find to restrict your search to mounted partitions
[12:54] <surabaya`> ok
[12:54] <surabaya`> thanks
[12:55] <prestocaso> you there crimsun
[12:55] <linux_user400354> ttmrichter: i mean only the filesystems you tell it to
[12:56] <serishema> perka: not that i know of, try booting from a ubuntu CD then hitting F6. delete the existing kernel parmeters and use "root=/dev/ram0 base-installer/kernel/linux/extra-packages-2.6= pkgsel/install-pattern=~t^ubuntu-standard$ pkgsel/language-pack-patterns=
[12:56] <serishema> pkgsel/install-language-support=false DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low vga=normal ramdisk_size=14409 rw " as kernel parameters and see what happens
[12:57] <serishema> perka: this is good for 6.06LTS, i don't know about other versions. However i used a network install to do this
[12:57] <serishema> perka: so i was booting from PXE
[12:57] <_james> how to capture screen shot ?
[12:57] <Pie-rate> Is there any reason to use a 386 kernel over a generic one?
[12:57] <lupine_85> yeah. if you're running a 386
[12:57] <lupine_85> or maybe a 486
[12:57] <JdGordon> how do i allow guest login in samba?
[12:58] <thoreauputic> Pie-rate: on gnome? hit PrintScrn
[12:58] <lupine_85> kde also
[12:58] <thoreauputic> Pie-rate: there are other ways - gimp, commandline...
[12:58] <serishema> pie-rate: in some siuations kernel modules may not load on the i686 optimized kernel
[12:58] <_james> yes on gnome
[12:58] <thoreauputic> bah sorry I meant _james
[12:58] <serishema> pie-rate: eg i an earily release of edgey my atheros wifi card didn't work with an i686 kernel, eaither the ubuntu packaged one, nor hand built
[12:59] <perka> serishema, thanks
[12:59] <prestocaso> you still around crimsun
[12:59] <_james> how to capture screenshots?
[12:59] <thoreauputic> _james: gimp has a screenshot function too
[12:59] <galorin> I've got the Ralink RT61 wifi chip in my laptop, got it working but only at home.  Is there any way to get it to connect to AP's when I don't know the SSID?
[12:59] <pramz> in Gnome you have a screenshot app under Accessories
[12:59] <Pie-rate> galorin: network-manager i think
[01:00] <rudlavibizon> hi
[01:00] <_james> thoreauputic: where? how to use it?
[01:00] <linux_user400354> for the nvidia driver, which linux-restricted-modules package do i need? i have the generic kernel image in edgy.
[01:00] <thoreauputic> _james: in gimp? File - Capture I think from memory
[01:00] <rudlavibizon> i want to buy an IR usb adapter
[01:00] <Pie-rate> linux_user400354: i'll pm you instructions on installing the latest nvidia drivers

[01:02] <thoreauputic> _james: :)
[01:02] <cherva> can I apt-get glib ?
[01:02] <galorin> Pie-rate, according to the howto, network-manager causes lockups on boot... I'm also on xubuntu, and the folks in there haven't been much use yet.
[01:02] <serishema> perka: did it work? This should allow you to do things like choose the installation source
[01:03] <Pie-rate> galorin: hasn't for me.
[01:03] <thoreauputic> cherva: umm - for what? Usually something else pulls it in
[01:03] <prudhvi> hi
[01:03] <cherva> I'm installing xvidcap and there is an error You must have `glib' installed.
[01:03] <cherva> You can get it from: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
[01:03] <thoreauputic> cherva: unless you are compiling something - then look for libglib*-dev
[01:04] <perka> serishema, have not tried it yet, i'll let you know
[01:05] <galorin> Pie-rate, I'll try installking network-manager after apt is freed up.
[01:06] <cherva> i've apt-geted  libglib*-dev but the error is still there
[01:06] <nadjyla> nm rox the world
[01:06] <thoreauputic> cherva: there are quite s few - hence the wildcard *
[01:07] <thoreauputic> cherva: try apt-cache search libglib | grep dev to see
[01:08] <thoreauputic> cherva: you probably want either libglib2.0-dev or libglib1.2-dev depending which gtk the app uses
[01:08] <cherva> ok apt-get-ing libglib2.0-dev
[01:09] <cherva> perfect thanks
[01:09] <thoreauputic> :)

[01:35] <pr0t0type> hi im searching 4 a good prog to update dyndns
[01:35] <roxlu> hi !
[01:35] <jrib> pr0t0type: ddclient
[01:36] <roxlu> I'm using "jEdit" to program, but when I want to open a new file, it creates a whole new instance of jedit;
[01:36] <jrib> pr0t0type: there are a bunch if you do 'apt-cache search dyndns' but that one is what I use
[01:36] <roxlu> now i found "jo.py" which fixes that. but how can I make sure the command: "/usr/local/bin/jo.py [filename] " is called when I click a file in "Nautilus" ?
[01:37] <hgist> i'm trying to set vsFTPd in my ubuntu 6.06 ; have problem log in ; I follow http://www.debiansec.com/linux/services/ftp.html ; but although using db_load or db4.3_load  no good results
[01:37] <hgist> could someone help ?
[01:37] <jrib> !defaultapp | roxlu
[01:37] <ubotu> roxlu: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:38] <roxlu> jrib: I did that, but does that creates a command like: /usr/local/bin/jo.py [filename_that_i_clickecd]  ?
[01:39] <jrib> roxlu: I believe so
[01:39] <n0cturnal_> Does anyone know what would cause this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1665/ ...?
[01:39] <wkerzend> I have trouble moving from the fglrx driver to the radeon driver. Please help
[01:39] <roxlu> ".... because thats not working :-( " when I do it from the commandline it does work... from "Nautilus" not..
[01:40] <jrib> roxlu: print sys.argv  then to see what it is passing
[01:40] <JdGordon> is there any way to find out why ubuntu is hanging after the shutdown screen? (it ends up with a blinking cursor on the srcreen after the shutdown display thing clears)
[01:40] <linux_user400354> !beryl

[01:41] <roxlu> jrib: what?you mean like, open with: "print sys.argv" ?
[01:42] <dj_tchiseen> im having some problems, and im a bit of a newb. could a kind soul please PM me  - im having issues with 6.10 and nvidia drivers
[01:42] <maddash> JdGordon: how do you shutdown? try opening a cmd term and typing in, `sudo shutdown -h 0`
[01:43] <JdGordon> maddash: i shutdown from the kde menu
[01:43] <maddash> JdGordon: try that cmd anyway.
[01:44] <jrib> roxlu: it seems to work fine here.  I create 'printargs.sh' which just prints what is passed to it and I get the path to the file printed when I double click on a file
[01:44] <linux_user400354> whats the difference when using xgl or aiglx?
[01:44] <JdGordon> maddash: it shuts down.. the problem is it doesnt turn ff when it finishes....
[01:44] <jrib> roxlu: I meant just adding the  print sys.argv  to your python script
[01:44] <dj_tchiseen> im trying to follows these instructions to install the nvidia drivers - http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/37190-nvidia-drivers.html

[01:46] <dj_tchiseen> i hit crtl+alt+1 and type sudo init 3 and sudo sh FILE and it gives the error
[01:46] <linux_user400354> nadjyla: i meant the difference in the graphics. can you tell a difference?
[01:46] <maddash> JdGordon: you tried the shutdown cmd I gave?
[01:46] <jrib> mabus: u+s

[01:52] <jrib> s/why/way
[01:52] <roxlu> yes

[02:02] <CheshireViking> i know support isn't given in the channel when you've used automatix because of the problems it can cause, is the same true for scripts like Envy?
[02:04] <CheshireViking> !envy | CheshireViking
[02:04] <ubotu> CheshireViking: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy
[02:05] <abuyaza1> hello all
[02:05] <Trackilizer> hey guys, i really need your help
[02:05] <daning> en
[02:05] <Raperu2000> Hello
[02:06] <Trackilizer> i just made some changes to the xorg file because of twinview and after rebooting the xserver won't start
[02:07] <dj_tchiseen> k, jrib, im following instructions, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:07] <Trackilizer> Just wanted to ask what the command for the xorg reconf was
[02:07] <dj_tchiseen> In the Software Preferences dialog that comes up, click the Add button.
[02:07] <dj_tchiseen> that's not there
[02:07] <jrib> CheshireViking: just ask your question/ state your problem.  Mention that you used envy, it's up to the person that is helping you of course, just like with automatix
[02:07] <jrib> !xconfig | Trackilizer
[02:07] <ubotu> Trackilizer: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". To configure only the driver and resolution, type: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh".
[02:08] <jrib> dj_tchiseen: what version of ubuntu?
[02:08] <lalalala> Hi, I updated to dapper some minutes ago. Since I've updated my xserver is not running any more :-/ Here is my xorg.log http://rafb.net/p/pQ8an219.html maybe someone can help
[02:08] <_raphael_> it seems ubuntu/grip doesn`t like japanese cd`s. the letters are all gibberish, and they won`t play
[02:08] <dj_tchiseen> 6.10
[02:09] <daning> /q
[02:09] <CheshireViking> jrib i wasn't thinking about myself, i had problems with nvidia & someone  suggested using envy to solve them and it worked great, i was just thinking about other people when they ask about nvidia and whether it'd be ok to suggest using it to them
[02:09] <jrib> lalalala: did you have ubuntu-desktop installed during the upgrade
[02:09] <dj_tchiseen> jrib: sorry, 6.10.
[02:09] <Trackilizer> ubotu, thanks alot for that, it was the command i was looking for
[02:10] <CheshireViking> jrib: i wouldn't want to suggest it if there wouldn't be any support from other people in here
[02:10] <jrib> CheshireViking: I haven't used it personally so I can't comment either way, but the bot's comment doesn't seem to warn against it
[02:10] <jrib> dj_tchiseen: what "task" is this?  Adding multiverse?
[02:10] <CheshireViking> jrib : ok, thanks, i'll bear it in mind anyway
[02:10] <lalalala> jrib dont know
[02:11] <dj_tchiseen> i'd just like to get both of my monitors working
[02:11] <jrib> lalalala: how did you upgrade?
[02:11] <dj_tchiseen> and increase the resolution @_@
[02:12] <jrib> dj_tchiseen: go to the "third party" tab.  THere should be an "add" button there
[02:12] <lalalala> jrib I edited my sources.list and did a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[02:12] <xopher> how do I disable my onboard sound card completely? Its disabled in the bios but still appears in my mixers
[02:12] <jrib> lalalala: upgrade or dist-upgrade?
[02:12] <xopher> do I blacklist a module?
[02:12] <jrib> !blacklist | xopher
[02:12] <ubotu> xopher: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[02:12] <dj_tchiseen> jrib: alright, there is, and what's the apt that it wants
[02:12] <xopher> I guess that's a yes?
[02:13] <jrib> xopher: oh, I thought you just want to know how.  I don't know
[02:14] <Jordan_U> If I boot using upsplash I can't use my tty's even though X and everything else works
[02:15] <lalalala> jrib upgrade
[02:15] <etcytal> hi
[02:15] <lalalala> I did a dist-upgrade before, but changed my grub back to my old kernel because of some dependencies
[02:16] <jrib> lalalala: you have a broken upgrade then.  It is recommended that you use update-manager to upgrade, but since you've already started upgrading this way, I guess you should 1) make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed and 2) dist-upgrade 3) fix errors 4) go to (2)
[02:17] <lalalala> ubuntu-desktop is installed
[02:17] <jrib> k
[02:17] <lalalala> dist-upgrade is about 380MB :o
[02:17] <lalalala> ok i do it :-/
[02:18] <jrib> lalalala: and you have to dist-upgrade twice to get upstart, there's a comment on the upgrade page I think
[02:18] <jrib> !upgrade | lalalala
[02:18] <ubotu> lalalala: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:18] <etcytal> sorry, but i have a problem (im bad compiler). I need compile hostap-driver, but wen i type "make", this says "scripts/Makefile.build:17: /usr/src/hostap-driver-0.4.5/driver/modules/Makefile: File or directory don exist"  any idea :(
[02:18] <dj_tchiseen> jrib -
[02:19] <nadjyla> etcytal, read the readmefile first

[02:58] <apokryphos> teclo-: that allows you to switch between gdm or the kdm login manager

[03:31] <taal1> noone knows ?:)
[03:31] <wkerzend> using x700 mobility and radeon drivers: it tells me failed to detect second monitor and notebook lcd stays blank please help
[03:32] <erUSUL> taal1: both support dual-core just fine, edgy has a more recent kernel though
[03:32] <Azul> replace your radeon with an nvidia card
[03:32] <taal1> erUSUL: i know that
[03:33] <Office_> ? please whats the command to re-setup the network?
[03:33] <taal1> erUSUL: but should I recompile dreper kernel for dualcore or not ?
[03:34] <erUSUL> taal1: no, just use the smp kernel or whatever is called... (i can't remember)
[03:34] <taal1> erUSUL: and what about performance, isn't edgy better ?
[03:35] <mauran> Hi all, How can I change my openoffice default CTL font by using command line?
[03:35] <linux_user400354> i have no borders with beryl. what can i do?
[03:35] <Bluedog> hey
[03:35] <ttw> Office_: can't you just use the admin utility?  or do you need command line?
[03:35] <Bluedog> just bought a new monitor, how do I reconfigure x to use it at the new resolution etc?
[03:35] <mauran> no I need to write a script to do it
[03:35] <taal1> erUSUL: i know, smp  kernel, draper include it itself or i should download it ?
[03:36] <Office_> ttw its on my server I lost the nic card so I replace it
[03:36] <linux_user400354> Bluedog: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[03:36] <agent> linux_user400354: read wiki.beryl-project.org and forums.beryl-project.org (see faq section in forums) - if that does not solve it, ask again but be more specific (what video card you use and what driver)
[03:36] <Azul> Bluedog, try playing with the System > Preferences > Screen Resolution box
[03:37] <agent> linux_user400354: and try #beryl
[03:37] <Office_> ttw, I need to prob the card the set the ip so command line please
[03:37] <HearWa> Bluedog, as root edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:37] <erUSUL> taal1: newer versions of gnome are said to perform better, in the kernel the difference if any will be minimal, use apt to install the kernel
[03:37] <HearWa> Then restart X.
[03:37] <linux_user400354> agent: i see nothing in that faq about no borders
[03:37] <bulmer> Office_: try this first /etc/init.d/network restart
[03:39] <taal1> erUSUL: i heard about gnome performance, but i dont need it, my instalation will be server only, i need very good database performance, now i have breezy and my proc is 80-90% used
[03:39] <Gosha> !dns
[03:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dns - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:40] <ttw> Office_: do an 'ifconfig -a' and check that the card is detected
[03:40] <Office_> bulmer, nogo there is no et0, that was in onboard now I added a pci card
[03:40] <erUSUL> taal1: if tou are so concerned about such issues you may want to compile your own kernel and twek it
[03:40] <erUSUL> !kernel | taal1
[03:40] <ubotu> taal1: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:41] <bulmer> Office_: can you repeat please, what do you have installed?  i just erased the buffer so i can not scroll back
[03:41] <erUSUL> taal1: btw, it it is a server maybe stiking with dapper is a better option due to its LTS (long time support)
[03:41] <taal1> erUSUL: yes, but kernel compilation is quite complicated and mistake sensitive :)
[03:41] <erUSUL> taal1: if i can make it, i'm sure you can too ;)
[03:42] <Office_> ttw yes the new card is listed as eth1
[03:42] <incorrect> sorry, stupid question, but what is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu other than the default desktop?
[03:42] <axa-axa> Is there some clipboard manager for Gnome like there is for KDE which remebers selected/copied text even if app from which it is, is no longer open?
[03:42] <taal1> erUSUL: of course i can, but i'm not sure if my compilation will be better than comon is :)
[03:42] <Office_> bulmer, nogo there is no et0, that was in onboard now I added a pci card eth1
[03:42] <Pici> axa-axa : I think theres one called glipper
[03:43] <bulmer> Office_: try this command again... /etc/init.d/networking restart   this is the script used during boot..it should detect your nic cards
[03:43] <axa-axa> Pici: I'll check for it right away...
[03:43] <chable> is there a way to mount a ntfs partition on ubuntu ?
[03:44] <erUSUL> !ntfs | chable
[03:44] <ubotu> chable: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:44] <bulmer> chable: there should be, maybe with option -t ntfs,  confirm it with man mount
[03:44] <chable> cheers
[03:44] <chable> it would be read-only ?
[03:44] <bulmer> yeah
[03:44] <axa-axa> Pici: Found it :) Now installing. Thanks.
[03:44] <bulmer> not guaranteed yet to write on ntfs
[03:45] <Pici> axa-axa : np
[03:45] <taal1> erUSUL: tell me, do You think the better idea is upgrade 5.1 to 6.06 with standart dist-upgrade or make quite new instalation ?
[03:45] <tfny1> !ntfs | ubotu
[03:45] <ubotu> ubotu: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:45] <higi_> hello. since trevinho's repository screwed up my "wpasupplicant" package, i cannot install nor do anything with apt-get. Can anyone help me fixing this problem please?
[03:45] <chable> well , since i cant write on it , its no need to moun it
[03:45] <chable> mount

[03:46] <mpech> ku
[03:46] <Office_> bulmer, thanks got it by editing /etc/network/interfaces and changing eth0 to eth1
[03:46] <bulmer> there are some tricks, again so far i know, no linux can guarantee the writing to ntfs yet..
[03:46] <stefg> higi_: first reset your sources.list to a sane condition, then 'sudo apt-get update' for a start
[03:46] <erUSUL> taal1: so i think is up to you...
[03:46] <wkerzend> i have an ati x700 mobility card on my laptop. I want to use that in dualhead. the trouble seems to be that the driver says failed to detect secondary monitor so the lcd stays blank and the crt gives me just one desktop
[03:46] <wkerzend>  please help
[03:46] <mpech> can't upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04
[03:46] <erUSUL> !upgrade

[03:47] <Azul> the ntfs-3g driver is pretty stable now
[03:47] <Azul> !repeat | wkerzend
[03:47] <ubotu> wkerzend: 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
[03:47] <bulmer> Azul: production quality now?
[03:47] <axa-axa> Is there any other C++ IDE for Gnome (GTK), except Anjuta?
[03:47] <taal1> erUSUL:ok, thx for help :)
[03:48] <wkerzend> Azul: Im trying to rephrase my question so that someone might recognize the problem

[03:56] <verve> hey guys.. all elitism aside, are there any real world benefits to compiling a custom kernel? 'cause generic seems to do its job well and seems pretty modular
[03:57] <verve> would i notice an actual performance increase with a custom?
[03:57] <stefg> !kernel
[03:57] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:57] <stefg> !generic
[03:57] <lxuser> why it cant mount like the dvd burner
[03:57] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[03:57] <Bluedog> hey
[03:57] <lxuser> they apear in fstab with the correct options

[03:57] <jhaig> Bluedog: Yes, ssh.

[03:59] <lxuser> thanks for the help verve
[04:00] <kzm__> i have a nvidia question
[04:00] <NetCruZa> jhaig WPE Pro is a professional (commercial) version of Winsock Packet Editor. It is used to analyze network traffic and extract sensitive information
[04:00] <Pici> nij_ : I dont know if anyone here is going to be able to help you, you could try looking/posting at http://forum.beryl-project.org/
[04:00] <stefg> ZeckOwner: all installations CD offer an inegrated self test. look ate the boot screen
[04:00] <kzm__> since a couple of weeks i get a broken linux-restricted-module error while updating
[04:00] <ZeckOwner> stefg: check cd for defects?
[04:00] <francois> please anyone help me im really stuck
[04:00] <verve> lxuser, why? it didn't do anything
[04:00] <stefg> ZeckOwner: right
[04:00] <verve> :P
[04:00] <ZeckOwner> stefg: ok
[04:00] <kzm__> anybody has any idea how to solve this?
[04:00] <francois> i cant get internet on my pc under ubuntu
[04:01] <verve> that sucks that they discontinued the Linux client for America's Army
[04:01] <kzm__> i tried "sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) nvidia-glx"
[04:01] <verve> boo
[04:01] <NetCruZa> jhaig It is not just like Ethereal or anything like that, it works for flash too, and can resend packages (you can even modify them first)
[04:01] <jhaig> NetCruZa: Well, there is tcpdump, wireshark.  I don't know if these do what you want, though.
[04:01] <jhaig> NetCruZa: Ah, wireshark = ethereal, so probably not.
[04:01] <NetCruZa> jhaig thanks, i'll try it
[04:01] <francois> no one here can help me :(
[04:01] <jhaig> NetCruZa: And tcpdump just dumps all network traffic to the screen.
[04:02] <ttw> francois: what's up?  do you need a hug ?
[04:02] <verve> hah
[04:02] <NetCruZa> jhaig damn... Then it won't be able to send the package again
[04:02] <j0sh0> hi all i just installed dapper and everything is going great except i cant access web pages (eg wiki.ubuntu.com) but i can ping them! i have added the line to modprobe.d/bad_list for ipv6, what else do i need to do??
[04:02] <stefg> francois: In order to get a helpful response and help other people to help you, read the tips at http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html
[04:02] <jhaig> NetCruZa: There may be other things, but I don't do a lot of packet sniffing.
[04:02] <NetCruZa> jhaig: Okay, i will just have to keep looking
[04:02] <ZeckOwner> stefg: if it is curropt to i have to put the iso on the cd again or can i just unzip the .iso and drag the files i need
[04:03] <S0me1> hi
[04:03] <ZeckOwner> sorry for my spelling, i just got up
[04:03] <ttw> francois: 'fraid stefg is right -- you'll need to narrow that one down for us a bit
[04:03] <S0me1> ZeckOwner: go head man :)
[04:03] <ZeckOwner> S0mel: huh?
[04:03] <francois> err , ok... this is my problem , i try to make internet work on my linux system with dhcp but ubuntu just doesnt manage to get an ip from the modem
[04:03] <ttw> what's the menu entry for selecting package sets under the 'system -> administration' menu ?
[04:04] <stefg> ZeckOwner: if it's a desktop CD you need to reburn it... make sure your downloaded .iso is alright
[04:04] <ZeckOwner> it's the alternate cd
[04:04] <ttw> can't remember the name of it and need to help someone add in multiverse
[04:04] <bulmer> francois:  you can try using command line....dhclient and see what the response is from your dns server
[04:04] <stefg> ZeckOwner: the see !install and condider a netinstall with one of the mini-images
[04:04] <verve> ttw: Software Sources

[04:06] <John64> Ubuntu Just Works (TM)
[04:06] <mobal> hi'
[04:06] <verve> heh
[04:07] <ZeckOwner> verve: you got lucky, what speed did you burn at?
[04:07] <mobal> i need help!
[04:07] <mobal> i havent got sound on my laptop
[04:07] <mobal> hda intel realtek alc 660
[04:07] <verve> um.. think i used to burn at 4x in BSD
[04:07] <mobal> i have alsa
[04:07] <ZeckOwner> verve: i used 10X
[04:07] <francois> i just get some line begining with DHCPDISCOVER and a last one with NO DHCPOFFER , sleeping bulmer
[04:08] <ZeckOwner> 4X is really slow but you'll have more of a chance that it works
[04:08] <bulmer> mobal: i dont know much about sounds...but try "alsaconf"  and see if things get detected
[04:08] <Pici> !sound | mobal
[04:08] <ubotu> mobal: 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
[04:08] <mobal> alsaconf works fine
[04:08] <bulmer> francois: whats between your pc and the modem you speak of?
[04:08] <mobal> i can configure the volume but no sound
[04:08] <Pici> mobal: check to make sure that the volume isnt muted, I think thats the default
[04:08] <verve> ok, does America's Army take long enough to install? christ
[04:08] <mobal> alsa is selected
[04:08] <francois> bulmer: a RJ45 cable er..
[04:08] <verve> heh
[04:08] <jacobian_> Why does the totem plug-in play even though the object is Quick-time and and totem is  not able to play it?
[04:08] <mobal> isnot muted :)
[04:09] <bulmer> francois: please elaborate so we can troubleshoot better, no hubs or switches, routers/firewalls in between?
[04:09] <francois> nothing , the modem is a router
[04:10] <daviey> j #eclipse
[04:10] <francois> its PC -rj45 - modem
[04:10] <freakynl> anyone know why tahoma isn't in the corefonts package? according to corefonts.sf.net this should be fixed 30 april last year :/
[04:10] <bulmer> francois: and you are sure the cable is good and the modem/router really doles out an ip address via its dhcp server?
[04:10] <francois> yeap beceause it work when i plug it to my other pc
[04:11] <mobal> so no sound not muted alsa checked (installed in use!) realtek alc 660 hda intel
[04:11] <erUSUL> !sound
[04:11] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[04:11] <bulmer> francois: are you sure the nic card on your pc is working? and you dont have any firewalls enabled on your pc?
[04:12] <francois> ubuntu has no firewall
[04:12] <Pici> francois: do you typically need to login to your modem? or does it work automagically?
[04:12] <mobal> ubuntu has firewall called iptables
[04:12] <francois> automatical
[04:12] <Music_Shuffle> !firewall
[04:12] <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).
[04:12] <mobal> iptables = "The" firewall
[04:12] <stefg> !dsl | francois
[04:12] <ubotu> francois: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[04:12] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[04:12] <bulmer> francois: thats why i asked you to elaborate what you have, am guessing of your setup, my ubuntu has firewall activated
[04:12] <francois> its not a ppoe connecion
[04:13] <francois> the firwall cant be in cause since the only firewall would be the unbutu one
[04:13] <francois> im connecting via DHCP not ppoe...
[04:13] <bulmer> francois: we cant check those...do this  as root   iptables -vL  and it should show no rules
[04:14] <verve> ah, the joys of having a router.. when i ran Linux a few years ago, i had no routers, just internet -> modem -> me
[04:14] <verve> so i ran iptables on the same box
[04:14] <verve> which was kind of dumb, but hey
[04:14] <francois> nothing on iptables
[04:14] <verve> heh
[04:14] <bulmer> francois: ping 127.0.0.1

[04:18] <ttw> francois: do you have a "lan" light on your router ?
[04:18] <bulmer> francois: okay, do a  route  and se what the result is..gateway is there?
[04:18] <francois> yea i have a lane
[04:18] <Music_Shuffle> :P
[04:18] <ttw> francois: when you plug the cable in does it light ?
[04:18] <stefg> Music_Shuffle: oh... /this/ time :-)
[04:19] <Music_Shuffle> XD
[04:19] <francois> bulmer: when i try route i dont get anything under the first line
[04:19] <francois> yea it ligt ttw
[04:19] <francois> light*
[04:19] <bulmer> francois:  under the Flags no UG ?
[04:19] <francois> what you mean bulmer
[04:19] <ttw> francois: what does 'ifconfig' say your address is ?
[04:20] <bulmer> francois:  when you type the "route" command
[04:20] <g333k_work> stefg, I dont have this pkg in my repositories
[04:20] <ttw> bulmer: think i'll just leave you to it, sorry, probably just confusing things here
[04:20] <stefg> g333k_work: sudo apt-get update, after you enable  *multiverse*
[04:20] <bulmer> francois: me and ttw are attacking the problem slightly different ways... :)

[04:21] <francois> when i type route , i get  only one line , destination passerelle genmask ....
[04:21] <francois> ifconfig doesnt give me an ip
[04:21] <g333k_work> stefg, I already have added multiverse
[04:21] <bulmer> francois: means things are not setup right on your ubuntu
[04:21] <[set] > is there an mplayer installation for edgy? cuz that's what i have

[04:22] <francois> errr DHCP is working on all system i get just by plugin the cable , what should i do ?
[04:22] <ikonia> or use synaptic to browse for it
[04:22] <bulmer> francois: try this .... /etc/init.d/networking restart     <-- this is same script run during boot up time
[04:22] <ttw> francois: you haven't configured your adapter ... i assume that you don't actually see an 'eth0' entry under ifconfig ??
[04:23] <ttw> bulmer: i don't think it's configured ... he'll need to edit interfaces or just use the GUI
[04:23] <bulmer> ttw: i agree
[04:24] <bulmer> ttw: but i would think that via the networking restart, the system does the checking and configures things ..but i maybe partially wrong
[04:24] <g333k_work> stefg, noup... I still dont have the file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
[04:24] <francois> i see eth0 under ifconfig , when i try /etc/init.d/networking restart i get some line and the same DHCDISCOVER as when i type dhclient
[04:24] <stefg> g333k_work: oh... you need vncserver, not client...
[04:24] <ttw> bulmer: don't think so - you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces or just click on 'system -> administration -> networking' ... or something like that
[04:25] <noir_> I need support with wine
[04:25] <bulmer> ttw: okay.
[04:25] <riotkittie> i need cheese with wine.

[04:25] <francois> i configured my network card under system -> admin ect...

[04:26] <ttw> francois: ok it's your router that's not configured
[04:26] <stefg> _james: wget -c (url)

[04:27] <bulmer> francois: as root   ifconfig -a   should show you two interfaces  lo and eth0 as minimum maybe a third like sit0 will show too..please confirm
[04:27] <ttw> francois: ok, what's their addresses ?
[04:27] <Trygve_no> <- Newb in transition to ubuntu. I have my dual screen setup working great in windows. How can I make it happen with ubuntu? (Ati mobility radeon 9700, laptop screen at 1400x1050 and a phillips 20" 1600x1200)

[04:28] <bulmer> i told ya, its like pulling teeth, he dont like to elaborate much
[04:28] <ubotu> Trygve_no: xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[04:28] <francois> mhh their adress wait a sec
[04:28] <verve> wtf's an abbreviation, ergo the word isn't displayed
[04:28] <_james> anyone using speedtouch silver modem here on pppoe? i need help on auto reconnect on disconnection
[04:28] <verve> there's nothing to be censored
[04:28] <verve> kthx
[04:28] <verve> <3
[04:28] <francois> only lo has an IP : 127.0.0.1....
[04:28] <ad_> verve, the word doesn't have to be displayed
[04:28] <ikonia> verve I don't like seeing it - please don't use it
[04:29] <verve> heh
[04:29] <ctqucl> When I use the kate,I use a plugin to autospell the word,my question is how can I insert the word from autospell by keyboard only?
[04:29] <stefg> -jamthat's more like a pppd setting, than a modem thing... read man pppd
[04:29] <stefg> _james: that's more like a pppd setting, than a modem thing... read man pppd
[04:29] <ikonia> ctqucl you may do better in either #kubuntu or #kde for specific kde application specific support
[04:29] <ad_> verve, and please stop encouraging people to use bad language
[04:29] <ctqucl> o ,thank you
[04:29] <verve> hahaha
[04:30] <verve> now i'm encouraging people to use bad language?
[04:30] <verve> alright then
[04:30] <ttw> ad: yeah, it's not cool and it's not clever
[04:30] <_james> stef: im just  new to linux i don't know how :(
[04:30] <g333k_work> stefg, nothing
[04:30] <francois> what should i do now ?
[04:31] <ttw> francois: no your other computers what addresses do they have -- that will put us in the correct subnet and we can just manually assign your box and address and test that
[04:31] <Trygve_no> stefg: Thanks, is this the best way to do it?
[04:31] <Trygve_no> looks a bit intimidating
[04:31] <francois> 192.168.2.2 ect...
[04:31] <verve> afk
[04:31] <stefg> g333k_work: what i can tell is that the x driver for vnc-server is missing... maybe it's not vino, but one of the other vncservers available... or a separate 'driver'-package for worg
[04:32] <verve> oh oh, i used another abbreviation!
[04:32] <verve> LOLFBICIA
[04:32] <stefg> *xorg
[04:32] <higi__> how do I unmount in edgy?
[04:32] <higi__> a partition
[04:32] <ikonia> stefg its an X11vnc server
[04:32] <ttw> francois: ok, now pick one you know isn't used and assign that manually to your ubuntu box and give it the same default route and dns server addresses as your other boxes
[04:32] <ikonia> its a sepereate package
[04:32] <francois> before i reinstalled ubuntu with this comp , he had 192.68.2.5
[04:32] <francois> ok
[04:32] <ttw> francois: perfect, use that
[04:32] <devilsadvocate> higi__, sudo unmout <mountpoint>
[04:32] <ad_> higi__, same way as unmounting in dapper
[04:32] <higi__> it tells me unmount does not exist
[04:33] <Pici> higi__ the command's name is umount for specific syntax, check the man page
[04:33] <ikonia> higi__ its umount
[04:33] <ttw> francois: sounds like you've been manually assigning addresses before ?? no ?
[04:33] <ad_> higi__, the command is umount, not unmount
[04:33] <francois> no ttw
[04:33] <ikonia> stefg gee thanks
[04:33] <higi__> ah
[04:33] <devilsadvocate> s/unmout/umount
[04:33] <higi__> thanks!
[04:33] <ttw> oh, strange that's not getting one now ? ? ? doesn't matter just manually assign one, then you can test and go from there
[04:34] <NetCruZa> Does anyone know of a good Packet Editor for Linux?
[04:34] <NetCruZa> I need to be able to resend and modify packages?
[04:34] <ad_> NetCruZa, did you search synaptic?
[04:34] <NetCruZa> *packets
[04:34] <francois> done it and internet still not working
[04:34] <ttw> hang on, hang on -- what was the default route ?
[04:35] <g333k_work> ikonia, I have installed x11vnc and I still dont have libvnc.so
[04:35] <NetCruZa> ad_ for Packet Sniffer? Only problem is theres lot of packet sniffers, but none with the functions of like WPE Pro for Windows
[04:35] <amicrawler> i need help please
[04:35] <francois> whats the default route ?
[04:35] <ad_> NetCruZa, i have no idea what you're talking about, but generally that's how you start looking for a program
[04:36] <amicrawler> i need help please
[04:36] <ikonia> g333k_work sorry, I missed that message the screen scrolled too fast
[04:36] <ttw> what address did you assign as the default route / gateway / whatever it's called again
[04:36] <ikonia> amicrawler it is then
[04:36] <g333k_work> ikonia, I have installed x11vnc and I still dont have libvnc.so
[04:36] <francois> 255.255.255.0 like my other compyters
[04:36] <ikonia> g333k_work just to be certain run a find for it - but doesn't it come as part of the xorgX11-dev or -libs package ?
[04:37] <ttw> francois: no, that's your subnet mask
[04:37] <francois> er
[04:37] <ikonia> g333k_work x11vnc-dev package or -libs package
[04:37] <NetCruZa> ad_ okay... i might have found something useful... Netsed
[04:37] <francois> 192.168.2.1 ?
[04:37] <g333k_work> ikonia, is there a x11vnc-dev ? I dont think so...
[04:37] <amicrawler> i need help in setting up a wireless nic
[04:37] <ttw> francois: that sounds right -- you need to put that in your network configuration too ... that will probably be your DNS server too so add that or you'll still be stuck
[04:38] <ikonia> g333k_work do a find on your file system - make sure the files not installed somewhere
[04:38] <amicrawler> installed the ndwrapper
[04:38] <g333k_work> ikonia, the question is how can I know the pkg that contains this file?
[04:38] <J_P> hi all
[04:38] <ikonia> g333k_work there is a dpkg option that will tell you - man dpkg
[04:38] <ttw> amicrawler: you need to search the FAQs for that one, it's pretty standard stuff -- i assume you're not getting an adapter listed when you do 'ifconfig -a'
[04:39] <amicrawler> yes
[04:39] <francois> done ttw and now ?
[04:39] <ttw> ok, search the forums. basically you need to pull the windows driver in from the cd and start nsdiswrapper
[04:39] <ttw> francois: ok try and ping your own address first 192.168.2.5
[04:40] <ctqucl> join #ubuntu-cn
[04:40] <amicrawler> i downloaded it
[04:40] <amicrawler> and got the inf file
[04:40] <francois> ping working fine ttw
[04:40] <ttw> ok, now the gateway; 192.168.2.1
[04:40] <francois> not working ttw
[04:41] <matsmob> he cant ping your gateway
[04:41] <Azul> how can i convert .wma files to .mp3?
[04:41] <Azul> or maybe have wma support in gnome baker
[04:41] <jkimball4> If when I try to restart my computer, the system goes down, but doesn't actually restart, what could the issue be?  Would that be a setting somewhere?
[04:41] <ttw> does the lan light on your hub / switch / router and/or the lan light on your network card flash when you ping ?
[04:41] <Enverex> Azul, Are they DRM protected?
[04:42] <Azul> Enverex, no
[04:42] <Enverex> Azul, Also transcoding from lossy format to lossy will make it sound much worse
[04:42] <axa-axa> Hi. I use ADSL connection, which I start with `sudo pppoe-start`. Is there some pannel applet which I could click (select from menu) to do this for me and disconnect when I wan to?
[04:42] <francois> ping work but with 912313 ms ttw :/
[04:42] <Azul> Enverex, it's the only way i can get gnome baker to burn em
[04:42] <amicrawler> axa  u run dsl
[04:42] <amicrawler> so do i
[04:42] <Enverex> Azul, Convert them to WAV then, not MP3 to burn them
[04:42] <ttw> francois: ok, that's not working.  you got something bad[tm]  there
[04:43] <samalex> hey guys.  i'm downloading ubuntu 6.10, and it'll be my first Linux box to setup for a workstation/desktop system in some time.  I was 100% linux for years until I switched my desktop to OSX 3 years ago, but now I'm wanting to go back to LInux.
[04:43] <Azul> Enverex, ok, how do i do that?
[04:43] <Azul> samalex, so what's the problem?
[04:43] <Enverex> Azul, No idea, but it's a better thing to look for than WMA to MP3
[04:43] <ikonia> samalex thats great - why are you telling us your history ?
[04:43] <francois> keep on mac os x samalex ^^
[04:43] <ttw> would appear that your router doesn't like your box -- do you have a USB connection to the same router ?
[04:43] <Azul> Enverex, but you just said to use WAV and not MP3
[04:43] <francois> no
[04:44] <francois> only ethernet and wifi
[04:44] <samalex> i'm just introducing myself to the group as I hoped to hang in here during installation...
[04:44] <Azul> Enverex, oh, i get it
[04:44] <Azul> never mind
[04:44] <Azul> thanks
[04:44] <ttw> and you're obviously connected via ethernet
[04:44] <francois> yeap
[04:45] <jikanter> great samalex, let us know if you have any problems
[04:45] <higiraven> stefg
[04:45] <ttw> that's particularly weird -- try restarting the network againg now you have the correct connection settings -- if that fails try a power cycle (not a reboot)
[04:45] <francois> i restart the modem ?
[04:45] <ttw> francois: both
[04:46] <francois> okay so brb
[04:46] <axa-axa> Hi. I use ADSL connection, which I start with `sudo pppoe-start`. Is there some pannel applet which I could click (select from menu) to do this for me and disconnect when I wan to?
[04:47] <jharr> axa-axa: If you're in gnome: right click -> add to panel -> custom launcher
[04:47] <matthias> hi. i want to use my usb printer (Canon ip4200) in my virtual system (VMWare: Host: Ubuntu | Guest: WinXPPro), but windows only gets an unknown device @ usb port
[04:47] <jharr> axa-axa: only use gksudo instead of sudo
[04:47] <kim0> Hi, I am back to ubuntu. The 6.10 Desktop CD is what will install to hard-drive, right ?
[04:47] <matthias> what do i have to do to make windows able to use an usb device?
[04:48] <Jowi> kim0, all CDs will install to harddrive.
[04:48] <ttw> matthias: probably want an vmware channel for that one
[04:48] <kim0> Jowi: perfect ...
[04:48] <jharr> kim0: Desktop CD is a live CD with an installer application.
[04:48] <axa-axa> jharr: Yes I thought about that as a last resort, because I would like to see some interface activity...
[04:49] <Jowi> matthias, normally you need a driver
[04:49] <jharr> axa-axa: one of the network monitor applets could do that
[04:49] <Jowi> matthias, never used vmware to run windows so I don't know if there's anything special about such an installation
[04:50] <jharr> axa-axa: probably not what you want, but it'll work
[04:50] <jharr> axa-axa: do you know any programming languages?
[04:51] <matthias> sry my x-server had a problem...any ideas?
[04:51] <Jowi> matthias, as i said. you probably need a winxp driver for the printer.
[04:51] <matthias> thats no problem but the device is not recognices as a printer under windows
[04:51] <jharr> axa-axa: if you're bored, write one. http://www.pygtk.org/articles/applets_arturogf/
[04:51] <matthias> Jowi: so my driver coulnd't find the printer
[04:52] <Enverex> How do you change the overall language in Ubuntu? I noticed the "Language Support" in the Administration menu but it says that only affects new accounts and the login screen. What about existing accounts?
[04:52] <francois_> hardly back
[04:53] <francois_> ttw:  doesnt work after reboot
[04:53] <axa-axa> jharr: Yes. C/C++, but I don't know GTK interface, and I thinks its a bit silly to learn it only for this :)
[04:53] <vlt> Hello. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper 6.10. How can I mount an NFS export from a Debian server who's charset is ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8 (like mount -t cifs -o iocharset=utf8 does)?
[04:53] <Jowi> matthias, I don't know. I guess if the driver installs fine the hardware should be detected.
[04:53] <axa-axa> jharr: But thanks for advices :)
[04:54] <matthias> Jowi: no thats the problem...driver installed no printer detected...just an unknown device
[04:54] <francois_> ttw:  ?
[04:54] <jharr> axa-axa: if you're bored. GTK from an "interpreted" language is really easy.
[04:54] <Jowi> matthias, whats the printer model?
[04:54] <jrib> Enverex: there is an option at the login screen to choose your default lang
[04:54] <ttw> francois: you're still broke ?
[04:54] <francois_> yea
[04:54] <matthias> Canon iP4200
[04:55] <matthias> Jowi: Canon iP4200
[04:55] <Enverex> jrib, afaik that only let me select "English" though, not UK English, or am I thinking of something else..
[04:55] <ttw> francois: same story very slow ping ?
[04:55] <francois_> yea
[04:55] <ttw> and this box used to work ?  what network card is it ?
[04:56] <francois_> wtf unix and so linux was built to work in a network and i cant even reconise a DHCP server ?
[04:56] <francois_> it*
[04:56] <jrib> Enverex: options > select language  lists english uk and usa for me
[04:56] <ttw> francois: pretty sure it's either you or the hardware, not the OS -- i'm afraid
[04:57] <ttw> francois: what network card is it ?
[04:57] <romedog> OK I have been trying now for the past 3 days and I have reinstalled  my server 3 times and cannot get this gallery2 two work
[04:57] <francois_> why it worked with ALL other comp running , mac os 9, windows , mac os X and the comp with ubuntu in worked nice with xp
[04:57] <romedog> I READ THE DOCS
[04:57] <francois_> a realtek one i think
[04:57] <Enverex> jrib, Great thanks
[04:57] <romedog> can anyone help
[04:58] <ttw> francois: may be a speed detection problem -- try set doing a search for your nic make and model
[04:59] <ttw> francois: you could also try setting the speed explicitly to 10Mb (or whatever your router runs at)
[05:00] <elias_> I have xserver-xgl completely removed from my system. But when I "switch user" I am still asked, if I want to use the standard or the XGL server.
[05:00] <elias_> what to do?
[05:00] <Jowi> matthias, finding nothing searching for vmware with this printer. try adding new hardware in windows.
[05:00] <Vanuatoo> I've got latest ubuntu. I get constant crashes of every program I run. My RAM works fine under memtest 11 passes. Also under windows I have no problems. What might it be?
[05:00] <ttw> francois: and make sure it's not on duplex mode -- could be that too
[05:00] <matthias> Jowi: yes i'll try
[05:01] <matthias> Jowi: thx
[05:01] <francois_> ttw it appears that realtek doesnt work fine with linux
[05:01] <Rprp> 
[05:01] <francois_> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00271.html
[05:01] <wkerzend> i have an ati x700 mobility card on my laptop. I want to use that in dualhead. the trouble seems to be that the driver says failed to detect secondary monitor so the lcd stays blank and the crt gives me just one desktop
[05:02] <francois_> im trying to force it in 10baset

[05:07] <romedog> ubuntu seems like a good os but for some reason this has as many issues as fedora
[05:08] <Mikelo> apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/
[05:09] <romedog> !ask lamp
[05:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask lamp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:10] <Jowi> romedog, try !lamp | romedog
[05:10] <romedog> !lamp
[05:10] <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+)
[05:10] <romedog> thanks
[05:10] <gdiebel> My laptop system has a pci-express nvidia go 7400, even when using nvidia-glx, it still loads agpgart and intel_agp. there is no /proc/driver/nvidia/agp, why is this the case?
[05:11] <backtojava> yo
[05:11] <Mikelo> apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/
[05:12] <grndslm> i'm trying to tweak my synaptics touchpad...but I can't figure out why the bottom edge is acting as the back/forward buttons in firefox, instead of sideways scrolling...any ideas?
[05:13] <unvs> i'd like to setup a local imap server on my ubuntu-server which grabs mail from external pop3/imap servers and puts them in folders on my imap account. any clues to what software i need to do that?
[05:13] <dzumret> hello how to compile conky 1.4.5 in edgy
[05:14] <Delux_247> unvs: try courier-imapd
[05:14] <vlt> Hello. How can I mount an NFS export from a server with locale ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8?
[05:14] <samalex> will ubuntu desktop pickup that my system has two processors and enable the SMP modules in the kernel automatically during installation?  my box has dual PIII-1Ghz processors, so just curious.  The last distro I ran on h ere was Red Hat 9, and it did... but Slackware and Suse always had problems with this.
[05:14] <unvs> Delux_247: thanks, i'll look into that
[05:15] <JohnnyX_> can someone help me with xserver
[05:15] <Mikelo> apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/ please...
[05:15] <Jowi> samalex, the 686 kernels have smp enabled
[05:15] <Delux_247> np
[05:15] <JohnnyX_> when i boot up it boots me to the command line but when i try to run startx as my user it gives back "Xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority"
[05:15] <samalex> jowi, thanks.
[05:16] <jrib> JohnnyX_: check the permissions
[05:16] <Jowi> samalex, the name of the kernel to use depends on which version of ubuntu you're installing.
[05:16] <Jowi> !generic
[05:16] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[05:16] <Mikelo> there's a package which does install because of an apt conflict here's my term output  apt conflict here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1687/
[05:16] <Bnirkow> hello
[05:16] <rohan> is there a single meta package to install all the LAMP packages ?
[05:17] <rohan> Mikelo: it is not a confilict
[05:17] <rohan> are you using the official repo's only, Mikelo ?
[05:17] <JohnnyX_> jrib, rwxrwxrw- 1 root root 168 .Xauthority
[05:17] <Mikelo> rohan: nope
[05:18] <rohan> ah, doesnt matter though
[05:18] <rohan> strange
[05:18] <jrib> JohnnyX_: should be owned and have the group of your user
[05:18] <rohan> try apt-get -f install
[05:18] <Mikelo> rohan: somehow i cant get past that
[05:18] <JohnnyX_> how do i set it jrib ?
[05:18] <jrib> JohnnyX_: sudo chown $USER: ~/.Xauthority
[05:18] <rohan> Mikelo: yes, if you did not make any changes to the package scripts, it might be FS corruption
[05:19] <bobby_> hey everyone, tell me if it's possible to have a .sh script run at bootup? The script requires sudo privledges as it sets my firewll rules
[05:19] <Mikelo> rohan: yes could be
[05:19] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, (or simply remove it and try again.)
[05:19] <samalex> jowi, hmm. i'm downloading the desktop 6.10 now, but I'll see what the options are when i start installing.
[05:19] <JohnnyX_> rm the file?
[05:19] <jrib> JohnnyX_: check ~/.ICEauthority too
[05:20] <Jowi> samalex, the kernel will probably be installed automatically. if not, you can change kernel after the installation is done and your new system has booted.
[05:20] <samalex> jowi, thanks :)
[05:20] <TheInfinity> hmm ... lvps87-230-7-248.dedicated.hosteurope.de (p508F1303.dip0.t-ipconnect.de[80.143.19.3] ) - ProFTPD terminating (signal 11) <-- sounds bad, hmm? can somebody help me getting proftpd back to work?
[05:21] <Bnirkow> when i boot ubuntu 6.10 (also opensuse 10.2), my computer are stopping on bootsplash... but ubuntu 5.10 install`s properly (i`m using to burn cd`s "alcohol" software)
[05:21] <JohnnyX_> -rw-------- 1 root root 3199 .ICEauthority jrib
[05:21] <jrib> JohnnyX_: yes, fix that too.  And don't run graphical programs with sudo anymore (if that is what caused it)
[05:21] <rohan> Bnirkow: in ubuntu, remove the word "silent" from the kernel options, and then reboot
[05:22] <davmor2> Help please I have Feisty installed and updated till a couple of weeks ago now dist-upgrade reports no updates.  Yet if I boot from the herd cd and in the live session do a dist-upgrade there are shed loads of updates.  I am on the gb server.
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> thanks jrib
[05:22] <Bnirkow> thanks rohan, i will try this
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> works fine now
[05:22] <vlt> Hello. How can I mount an NFS export from a server with locale ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8?
[05:22] <rohan> Bnirkow: mostly, it might be a FS check running in the background
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> except how do i get it back to the default font
[05:22] <JohnnyX_> my user has this really ugly font i can barely read and it doesnt let me change it in the manager settings
[05:22] <elias_> how to get the best GL performance for games like gltron assuming I have AIGLX with nvidia on EDGY?
[05:23] <JohnnyX_> if i reinstall all the font packages will that get it back to default?
[05:24] <beaArthur> is the ruby mkmf module split off from the regular ruby package in edgy?
[05:24] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, are you using gnome or kde?
[05:24] <grndslm> i'm trying to tweak my synaptics touchpad...but I can't figure out why the bottom edge is acting as the back/forward buttons in firefox, instead of sideways scrolling...any ideas?
[05:24] <JohnnyX_> xfce
[05:25] <bobby_> Is there a way that I can have my iptables.sh script run at boot?
[05:25] <JohnnyX_> and alot of my apps are missing
[05:25] <JohnnyX_> like synaptic and gnome-terminal
[05:25] <ligrev> /etc/rc.local
[05:25] <ligrev> bobby: put it in there if you want.
[05:25] <davmor2> grndslm the pad at the bottom is horizontal scroll if there is no scroll then it will do back and forward instead
[05:26] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" will install all the gnome programs (if that's what you want to do). regarding the font, maybe people in #xubuntu have answers for you
[05:26] <bobby_> ligrev: do I need the /bin/bash part aswell?
[05:26] <romedog> why does ubuntu-desktop not like kde desktop
[05:27] <rohan> beaArthur: you could try searching on packages.ubuntu.com
[05:27] <JohnnyX_> thanks Jowi
[05:27] <Jojo__> hi noobZ
[05:27] <Jowi> romedog, because ubuntu-desktop is for installing everything gnome related. kubuntu-desktop is for installing everything kde related.
[05:27] <Jowi> !ubuntu-desktop
[05:27] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[05:27] <Husio_> .help
[05:28] <jmartini> what is the command to find out which package owns a specific file?
[05:28] <Husio_> no bot?
[05:28] <romedog> I know that
[05:28] <Husio_> !help
[05:28] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots

[05:28] <jmartini> thanks Jowi
[05:28] <JohnnyX_> vmnet1, vmnet8
[05:29] <grndslm> davmor2:  thanks!  dunno why I didn't just disabled that to begin with
[05:29] <matthew> hiya, im sorry to ask stupid questions but i've just installed ubuntu, and im trying to mount my windows ntfs partitions and it says i should open "Open System->Administration->Disks ." only i dont have a disks program under admin
[05:29] <Jowi> JohnnyX_, don't ask me about installing applications in a vmware client :)
[05:29] <matthew> am i doing something blindingly stupid here? or is there actually something not quite right?
[05:29] <ligrev> dpkg -S <filename>
[05:29] <rohan> matthew: hang on, there is a script around
[05:30] <matthew> ok, thank you
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> no i mean the only network devices that show up are my vmware bridged networks
[05:30] <ligrev> jmartini: That was for you
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> eth0 and eth1 dont show up
[05:30] <facugaich> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338073 <- Help anyone?
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> and i cant get an internet connection now
[05:30] <ligrev> sorry, stuff scrolling too fast ;)
[05:30] <JohnnyX_> this just started happening
[05:30] <rohan> !ntfs @ matthew
[05:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs @ matthew - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:30] <rohan> !ntfs
[05:30] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:30] <jrib> matthew: it's not available on edgy
[05:30] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: I've installed ubuntu on a vmware workstation, what problems are you having?
[05:30] <rohan> matthew: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions should help
[05:30] <matthew> ok, thanks
[05:31] <JohnnyX_> ifconfig only brings up vmnet1 an vmnet8 jmartini
[05:31] <JohnnyX_> no eth0 or eth1
[05:31] <unvs> !imapd
[05:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about imapd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:31] <jmartini> ligrev: thanks, looking at the dkpg man page now
[05:31] <JohnnyX_> and i cant get a connection to download the ubuntu-desktop packages
[05:32] <Delux_247> !courier
[05:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about courier - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:32] <JohnnyX_> is there a way to reinstall with the cd without having to format the drives?
[05:32] <Delux_247> sheesh, they must call it something else
[05:32] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: yes you can but it's probably better to solve the underlying issue
[05:32] <matthew> the only other question i'd have is, is it possible to use dual screens in ubuntu? (atm i get some freaky flashing stuff on my 2nd monitor)
[05:33] <JohnnyX_> id like to know how to do both jmartini
[05:33] <Bnirkow> rohan - i can`t edit kernel option`s - what i can cut is only "quite"
[05:33] <ligrev> bobby: re /bin/bash - just call your script from rc.local
[05:33] <JohnnyX_> i dont know what caused this though
[05:33] <ligrev> throw it in there with your full path
[05:33] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: be just a minute, have a conf call
[05:33] <JohnnyX_> i just had an internet connection
[05:33] <rohan> Bnirkow: yes
[05:33] <rohan> that's what is required
[05:34] <Bnirkow> still stop`s
[05:35] <JohnnyX_> how do i set eth0 to dhcp and as the default gateway?
[05:36] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: Use System->Administration->Network Settings to mange the network interfaces
[05:37] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: do you need both network interfaces initially?
[05:37] <JohnnyX_> im on tty1
[05:37] <JohnnyX_> ifconfig -a brings all the gateways
[05:37] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: bah make it a pain why don't you. give me a second
[05:37] <JohnnyX_> but eth0 my ethernet isnt receiving anything
[05:38] <JohnnyX_> sorry jmartini
[05:38] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: also read /etc/init.d/networking
[05:39] <vlt> Hello. How can I mount an NFS export from a server with locale ISO-8859-1 into my /mnt/ translating to UTF-8?
[05:39] <JohnnyX_> what am i looking for jmartini
[05:39] <cardboard_box> hey, does anyone here have problems with their widescreen resolutions in ubuntu?
[05:39] <lmosher> What's a very good music organization program? I've been using rhythmbox and I was wondering if there's something better...
[05:39] <ligrev> amarok
[05:40] <ligrev> hands down
[05:40] <lmosher> amarok?
[05:40] <ligrev> amarok.
[05:40] <lmosher> I'll check it out
[05:40] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: the location of the file that defines the network configuration. I'm used to doing this in redhat from the command line so I'm still figuring out where some of these things are in ubuntu
[05:41] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: looks like /etc/network/interfaces
[05:41] <ligrev> jmartini: /etc/network/*
[05:41] <ligrev> Dang, you're too fast.
[05:41] <ligrev> I should drop the # of windows.
[05:42] <copernic> /join #ubuntu-fr
[05:42] <Bnirkow> rohan - it stops on "Running /scripts/init -premount"
[05:42] <lmosher> Sometimes (i.e. for amarok) apt-get gives me some recommended packages. How recommended are they? I.e. should I actually install those as well?
[05:43] <JohnnyX_> /etc/network/interfaces   shows  iface eht0 inet dhcp auto eth0 iface eth1 inet dhcp jmartini
[05:43] <SzArAk> lmosher: no. as it is said, they are recommended
[05:44] <SzArAk> lmosher: but they MAY add some functionality. that is what recommended means ;p
[05:45] <JohnnyX_> how do i reinstall  all the packages from the cd without having format my drive?
[05:46] <ligrev> JohnnyX: Should be an option when you boot to the install CD
[05:46] <lmosher> How do I fix this:
[05:46] <lmosher> The following packages have been kept back:
[05:46] <lmosher>   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic
[05:46] <L33TrDaNu> anyone here use a webcam (that has audio support) with their ubuntu/kubuntu ?
[05:46] <xDCDx> hello
[05:47] <xDCDx> I have a problem using 'tftpd-hpa'. I installed it, invoke it with 'in.tftpd /directory/' and it seems it is listening; but doing 'ftp localhost' says 'connection refused'. I tried using the -l option but then 'in.tftpd' exits without error message. I also tried using inetd to no avail
[05:47] <xDCDx> any ideas?
[05:47] <JohnnyX_> now when i try to run synaptic i get failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic Wrong Password
[05:47] <TeTeT> xDCDx: ftp is not tftp
[05:48] <gengiskanhg> I am new with Ubuntu. With mandrake 10.0 two years of experience. The system mount my partition (old) data but there are bad "encoding" in filenames with special characters, they appear as <?>. I had prove changing locales (to spanish), proving mount options, but anything works. Any help?
[05:48] <JohnnyX_> i can only run it when i sudo -s
[05:48] <lmosher> ligrev, What are the ramifications of running amarok with gnome? I saw some KDE errors at startup (dcopserver, etc)
[05:49] <xDCDx> TeTeT, that explains it all, i will try with tftp (my final goal is to perform a netboot, already have dhcpd configured)
[05:49] <gengiskanhg> Bad filenames in a etx3 mounted partition: I had looked at web but I can't find the solution.
[05:50] <Bnirkow> what anybody can say about "instlux" ??
[05:51] <TeTeT> xDCDx: good luck
[05:51] <SzArAk> it's hard to spell :>
[05:51] <|Penguin|> knew that was coming
[05:51] <SzArAk> ;)
[05:51] <JohnnyX_> when i run synaptic from the command line its fine but when i go to system > admin > synaptic it prompts for a password then tells me its wrong
[05:51] <|Penguin|> thats probably because of ubuntu's sudo instead of su thing
[05:52] <|Penguin|> there isn't really an admin password as far as you know
[05:52] <xFlux> sudo passwd then set a password for root
[05:52] <|Penguin|> but if you sudo it...
[05:52] <Professor`> so i dl the latest ver, burned iso to cd, i cant boot off it, any suggestions
[05:52] <stoone> question: i shared a folder through samba and the other machine (runs windows...) asks for password, it is my normal username / password or can i define another or how could i make it passwordless?
[05:52] <bcardarella> groupadd is supposed to add a group, correct?
[05:53] <xFlux> Professor`:  Check the MD5's against the ISO you burnt and/or check the Hardware Compatibility List for Ubuntu
[05:53] <Professor`> there good
[05:53] <JohnnyX_> whats the syntax to set eth0 as the default gateway with dhcp enabled?
[05:53] <amit__> Hello. i have a problem. my firefox keep crashing from time to time. any suggestions?
[05:54] <xFlux> stoone:  If your using PAM Authentication, it will be a uid you set up on the linux box
[05:54] <Dante123> hi all.....will ubuntu run ok on an Intel Celeron D 2.4 ghz, 512 mb processor???
[05:54] <gengiskanhg> DANTEL: Ubuntu run well in most the computes
[05:54] <Dante123> 512mb enough ram
[05:54] <Dante123> ?
[05:54] <xFlux> amit__:  There was an update for firefox, did you get it?
[05:55] <bobby_> ligrev: Thanks that worked perfectly
[05:55] <|Penguin|> So here's a stumper... I just put together my new box with an evga680i mobo, and just installed ubuntu for my first time (have used FC6 previously). Sooo I plug in my ethernet cable, and nothing. Looking around a little, ubuntu certainly recognizes the hardware, but doing an ifconfig shows that eth1 has an IPV6 address O.o Any uber advice for me?
[05:55] <xFlux> Dante123:  More than enough :)
[05:55] <gengiskanhg> Before ask here is very good (and frecuently quickly) to search the web
[05:55] <Professor`> is there a command string i need to add to let it boot ?
[05:55] <stoone> xFlux: yes i use PAM but how can i share it paswordless? don't want to give in my pass in a win box.
[05:55] <amit__> xFlux, is it through the official resp?
[05:55] <snail> amit__: if you have installed lots of extensions and plugins, unintall them and then reinstall them one day at a time.
[05:55] <Dante123> thanks.....will install on kids computer....trying to get them off the "windoze" drug
[05:55] <Linky|Lap> np though, thx :)
[05:55] <snail> the day you start seeing crashes again, you have part of the culprit
[05:55] <Dante123> they like gimp......so that's a start on the road to linux
[05:56] <amit__> snail, i have no extentions
[05:56] <xFlux> it was on the security repository that is part of ubuntu
[05:56] <amit__> snail, i do have a java, flash etc plugins
[05:56] <jewbilee> Can anyone tell me how I get my windows to be transparent
[05:56] <xFlux> jewbilee:  If your looking for cool eye candy check out beryl-manager
[05:57] <xFlux> if you card can handle it :P
[05:57] <hjmills> jewbilee: install beryl and stuff and read some guides on that
[05:57] <xFlux> *your
[05:57] <hjmills> !beryl
[05:57] <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
[05:57] <Dante123> one other question.....and please give me your professional, objective and as unbiased opinion as possible.....which is better for general average user Ubuntu or SUSE?
[05:57] <xFlux> business or personal?
[05:57] <Dante123> personal
[05:57] <xFlux> ubuntu
, you know you are in a ubuntu IRC channel
[05:57] <|Penguin|> hehe
[05:57] <xFlux> suse is bloated, but makes sense for business
[05:58] <Professor`> oo did not know i needed Infra burner
[05:58] <SpaceMerchant> jewbilee, a howto for Beryl,  http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu
[05:58] <Dante123> yeah I know......just wanting confirmation that the linux I put on for kids is the best one for them.....oldest is twelve and pretty computer savvy
[05:58] <xFlux> all my servers are centos though :)
[05:58] <snail> Dante123: this is an ubuntu channel, thus no place for unbiased opinions
[05:58] <amit__> snail, should i reinstall the firefox plugin's then?
[05:58] <Pommie> xFlux: How do you figure Suse is better for business?
[05:58] <jewbilee> Thanks Space
[05:58] <xFlux> Pommie:  They have custom applications and supported connectors for windows environments
[05:58] <snail> amit__: sounds like a good palce to start
[05:59] <jewbilee> What do I want, XGL or AIGLX?
[05:59] <Pommie> xFlux: Ah, better Samba support?
[05:59] <xFlux> what kind of video card do you have?
[05:59] <amit__> snail, if i remove firefox and reinstall it. will it save my bookmarks etc?
[05:59] <jewbilee> NVidia Geforce Go 5200
[05:59] <Dante123> I thought it was the "Bill Gates stamp of approval" that you saw as an "advantage"-  you know like Genuine Windows Advantage  ;-)
[05:59] <jewbilee> drivers are installed properly for linux
[06:00] <xFlux> Pommie:  I don't know about samba support, but client authentication with OpenLDAP would be the main one....not to mention suse server has custom code in OpenLDAP
[06:00] <Pommie> jewbilee: I run beryl on my nvidia 5600. It runs, but I wouldn't turn on ALL of it's features. :-P
[06:00] <jewbilee> hahah
[06:00] <jewbilee> alright
[06:00] <Professor`> awesomeness
[06:00] <jewbilee> beryl requires more out of the computer i guess?
[06:00] <snail> amit__: it certainly should
[06:00] <Byan_trill> root@Terra:/etc/init.d# brctl addif br0 eth1
[06:00] <Byan_trill> can't add eth1 to bridge br0: Invalid argument
[06:00] <xFlux> I think this comptuer uses an Intel 915 chipset for graphics....runs fine with teh default profile
[06:01] <rasputin> what package provides development tools for ubuntu
[06:01] <Byan_trill> anyone know why I can't do that?
[06:01] <rasputin> ?
[06:01] <gengiskanhg> Anybody can help me about "bad filenames in a mounted ext3 partition"?
[06:01] <|Penguin|> Anyone have any idea why my eth1 has an ipv6 address when its set to be inet in /etc/network/interfaces? It's wholly inactive.
[06:01] <Pommie> jewbilee: more out of the graphics card, actually.
[06:01] <xDCDx> I have a problem using 'tftpd-hpa'. I installed it, invoke it with 'in.tftpd /directory/' and it seems it is listening; but doing 'get file' inside 'tftp localhost' gives a timeout error. I tried using the -l option but then 'in.tftpd' exits without error message. I also tried using inetd to no avail. Any ideas?
[06:01] <jewbilee> Pommie: yea i deffinatly shouldnt do it then
[06:01] <xFlux> rasputin:  There is no specific toolset for Ubuntu.....You can check out Mono for C# development, or kdevelop etc etc
[06:01] <MrSprout> This might be really stupid of me, but why are there no links to download automatix on getautomatix.com
[06:01] <Dimensions> hiya guys ... i need to install grub/lilo on my mac mini dual boot with ubuntu OSX ... online guide say that open a chrooted terminal ... i have done that on that system but problem is that i can browse internet etc with non chroot terminal but in chroot terminal i can't get my internet working when i am downloading any thing or apt-get it say uknown host www.blahblach.com ... can't ping or download any updates etc ...
[06:01] <n2diy> rasputin: build-essentials
[06:01] <Dante123> Does pygame have a GUI?
[06:01] <knight> how can i know the correct specification of my celeron processor?
[06:02] <xFlux> knight:  What does your /proc/cpuinfo say?
[06:02] <arquebus> Dante pygame are just SDL librarys ported to python
[06:02] <n2diy> knight:  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:02] <Pommie> jewbilee: my CPU is just a non-SMP, non-HT 2.4 GHz P4 with nvidia 5600XT.
[06:02] <Professor`> Iam a first timer getting ready to install this, what should i look out for^^
[06:02] <Dante123> okay....I was thinking it was something like Gamemaker on windows....
[06:02] <arquebus> nope
[06:02] <Byan_trill> >_<
[06:03] <xFlux> Professor`:  Ubuntu is as easy as it gets for the install :)
[06:03] <Dante123> is there anything like that on linux for kids to fool around with programming- you know to get started down that road
[06:03] <|Penguin|> Somebody halp, mah interweb don't be workin'?!
[06:03] <Professor`> will i have and driver compatability issues ?
[06:03] <knight> n2diy: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz
[06:03] <jewbilee> Professor: Ubuntu is very easy to install
[06:03] <xFlux> Dante123:  There are several education applications in the Ubuntu repositories, check them out after install
[06:03] <arquebus> Dante, yes there is quido von robot
[06:04] <Dante123> quido?
[06:04] <xFlux> I think they have that lego mindstorms for nix as well
[06:04] <n2diy> knight:  there you go.
[06:04] <xFlux> Im not sure, never really checked into it
[06:04] <arquebus> yes dante, its in add/remove programs under programming
[06:04] <Dante123> thanks...checking it out now
[06:04] <arquebus> guido as in the name of the guy who invented python
[06:05] <Pommie> guido as in the goodfellah. :-P
[06:05] <knight> n2diy: but how could i know whether its celeron 1 2 or willamete ... i ve got his thing asked
[06:05] <|Penguin|> Okay how about this one... how would I go about patching from 2.6.17.10-generic to 2.6.19.2? Do I need to do each patch in between (i.e. 2.6.18)? Also, where do I do this from... patch is giving me hell, just sits there silently doing nothing
[06:06] <Professor`> wish me luck i just dl that infra burner, burned image as it said, lets hope it boots off cd
[06:06] <n2diy> knight: I don't know?
[06:06] <xFlux> Doesn't the updater have the patches for the latest kernel?
[06:07] <|Penguin|> my ethernet connection doesn't work
[06:07] <Dante123> thanks....official name GvRNG...thanks again for info
[06:07] <|Penguin|> so I've d/ld the patch from another machine
[06:07] <arquebus> dante- its called GvRNG under add and remove programs, also you can do a google search to find the webpage that will give more info on how to use it
[06:07] <SpaceMerchant> jewbilee, Beryl is graphics intensive so if you have some extra memory on your system open the aperture by allocating some memory  (most commonly Ctrl+F1 after having entered the system bios)
[06:07] <|Penguin|> this is, of course, all in an effort to get my ethernet to work
[06:07] <troymcmclure> hello... i've been trying to uninstall apache2, and apt-get remove seems to do the job, but files are still on /etc/apache2 and it's still startable with /etc/init.d/apache2 start ??? whats wrong here?
[06:07] <xFlux> ahh good stuff.......Iv'e never went the patching route, ive always just compiled from the soutrce
[06:07] <Professor`> awesome, It worked
[06:07] <xFlux> *source
[06:07] <jrib> troymcmclure: apache2 depends on other packages that have the "real" stuff.  Try apt-get autoremove
[06:07] <dark> hey guys , I have a problem on my laptop, I just installed network-manager-gnome, but the wireless networks are not listed and my wireless card is enabled
[06:07] <The_Machine> Anyone experience OO.org maximizing in such a way that you have to ALT+TAB to make it so that you can get to any other windows?  (The toolbar at the top goes away)?  It's ONLY with OO.org - i don't have this with any other apps
[06:08] <troymcmclure> jrib: tried that too :(
[06:08] <knight> are there many versions for celeron processor?
[06:08] <|Penguin|> well I also have the linux-2.6.19
[06:08] <alunduil> Anyone ever attempted to sshfs mount home directories via /etc/profile?
[06:08] <The_Machine> knight:  yeah, ever since pentium IIs
[06:08] <|Penguin|> how would I go about compiling that, and would that slide right in under my current ubuntu install?
[06:08] <samalex> dang, they've sure streamlined installation of Linux with Ubuntu.  I'm installing now, and it was about as easy as I've seen in a distro.
[06:08] <The_Machine> celeron = broken pentium
[06:08] <jrib> troymcmclure: I believe apache2-common is the package.  just do apt-cache depends apache2  and  dpkg -S /path/to/file/that/is/still/here  for hints
[06:08] <knight> The_Machine: how can i know which version i have?
[06:09] <troymcmclure> jrbi: the problem is that it won't seem to recognize my php5, do i think i need to reinstall ... ?
[06:09] <The_Machine> what do you mean?  what clock speed?
[06:09] <The_Machine> what's the clock speed of your chip?
[06:09] <jrib> troymcmclure: no, reinstalling will hardly ever fix anything in linux
[06:09] <tfny1> Howto mount a NTFS partition ?
[06:09] <jrib> !ntfs | tfny1
[06:09] <ubotu> tfny1: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:09] <Bnirkow> when i boot ubuntu 6.10 - it`s crash on bootsplash, when i cut "quiet" i see "running /scripts/init -premount" and it`s stops on it ... but ubuntu 5.10 install`s properly
[06:09] <jrib> troymcmclure: have you been to the LAMP wiki page?
[06:09] <troymcmclure> jrib: a server hack :-)
[06:10] <troymcmclure> jrib: no :(
[06:10] <jrib> !lamp | troymcmclure
[06:10] <ubotu> troymcmclure: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:10] <knight> The_Machine: its 2ghz
[06:10] <troymcmclure> jrib: i know what it is eheh
[06:10] <jrib> troymcmclure: the important part is the wiki page...
[06:11] <troymcmclure> jrib, yes: jeje i just googled but there's a couple
[06:11] <jrib> troymcmclure: the one ubotu gave you
[06:11] <The_Machine> it's a Pentium 4 type celeron
[06:11] <The_Machine> i mean, i'm not sure i understand your question
[06:12] <tfny1> How to find the /dev/ file for the partition ? fdisk shows me there is a hdb (and a hdb1) but mount tells me that this does not exist
[06:12] <knight> The_Machine: is 2ghz processors celeron 4?
[06:12] <jrib> tfny1: what is "it"?
[06:12] <knight> The_Machine: if so then its ok
[06:12] <tfny1> it?
[06:12] <jrib> tfny1: erm "this"
[06:13] <jrib> in "but mount tells me that this does not exist"
[06:13] <The_Machine> yeah, let's say it's a celery 4
[06:13] <The_Machine> it's based off of a PIV
[06:13] <The_Machine> that's for sure.
[06:13] <Pommie> tfny1: if fdisk reports that you have a partition at hdb1, perhaps try mounting /dev/hdb1.
[06:13] <jmartini> tfny1: what is the error that mount returns
[06:14] <tfny1> special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist
[06:14] <jmartini> tfny1: and what is the mount command you're using?
[06:14] <SpaceMerchant> jewbilee,  if you want to go that route, the formula for allocating is 2x the cards memory +32 megs ... example is mine is 128 video card so I allow 256 off my system when it needs it.  I didn't configure the 32 for safety sake.
[06:14] <tfny1> mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win -t ntfs
[06:14] <bluefox83> ok, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my girlfriends computer, the 6.06 desktop and alternate cd fails and so does the 6.10 one...it gets to the boot prompts and when it asks what you want to do it says it's loading the linux kernel and then restarts the computer, how do i get around this?
[06:15] <Jojo__> bluefox
[06:15] <bluefox83> hrm?
[06:15] <Jojo__> try the newest version of ubuntu
[06:15] <bluefox83> i did
[06:15] <jmartini> tfny1: and what does fdisk show for /dev/hdb?
[06:15] <Jojo__> this should be ok
[06:15] <Bnirkow> new version on my computer are stoping on bootsplash
[06:15] <Byan_trill> anyone have any idea why I can't add eth1 to my bridge
[06:15] <Byan_trill> eth is firewire..
[06:15] <SpaceMerchant> yeah be daring, they are looking for some Herd testers
[06:15] <tfny1> jmartini, that there are 4 partitions on hdb, and that hdb1 has the system HPFS/NTFS
[06:15] <Byan_trill> eth1*
[06:16] <Jojo__> hmm
[06:16] <bluefox83> still doesn't work, i get a major error of some kinda interrupt, and it floods the screen and the system freezes, the only way to restart the system is to unplug it
[06:16] <The_Machine> Anyone experience OO.org maximizing in such a way that you have to ALT+TAB to make it so that you can get to any other windows?  (The toolbar at the top goes away)?  It's ONLY with OO.org - i don't have this with any other apps
[06:16] <grimboy> Is there a website somewhere that has a bunch of example media with different mime types for testing out plugins?
[06:16] <Pommie> tfny1 :  Try this command as superuser... cd /dev && MAKEDEV generic
[06:16] <jmartini> tfny1: well thats just odd. give me a minute
[06:17] <grimboy> (As I've searched and not found)
[06:17] <troymcmclure> jrib, now simple .php's work, but the browser still want's to d/l phpmyadmin folder when accesing?!
[06:17] <troymcmclure> jrib, ahh it needs to be added to apache2.conf right?
[06:17] <romedog> do you have php-mysql working correctly on the box Troy
[06:18] <tfny1> Pommie, is working
[06:18] <jrib> troymcmclure: not sure, never set it up on ubuntu
[06:18] <jmartini> tfny1: ok duh, its your mount command. try mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win
[06:18] <jrib> troymcmclure: read /usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/*  maybe
[06:18] <Pommie> tfny1: after that finishes, try the mount again.
[06:18] <troymcmclure> jrib, done
[06:18] <tfny1> ok
[06:18] <piao> some times may be you don't  install lib-php-apahce2-mod
[06:18] <PwndMopar> It was just going to take 6 minutes to update, now it's at 1 hours D;
[06:19] <JohnnyX_> how do i set the default gateway to eth0 with dhcp enabled?
[06:19] <romedog> troymcmclure do you have php modules intergrated into the mysql database
[06:19] <jmartini> JohnnyX_: fix your dhcp server
[06:20] <bluefox83> ok, how do i set up my girlfriend's computer to install ubuntu via a network install?
[06:20] <MHobbit> Has anyone had problems with getting the CD to load on a Dell computer? :-/
[06:20] <bluefox83> MHobbit, i have probs with it working on a Compaq...
[06:20] <JohnnyX_> how jmartini
[06:21] <knight> if i resize a partition having my /home directory will it affect system functioning?
[06:21] <tfny1> jmartini, Pommie : Same error as before
[06:21] <Pommie> tfny1: what's the output from   ls -l /dev/hdb1 ?
[06:22] <piao> i think resize /home will not affect
[06:22] <JohnnyX_> how do i reinstall everything without having to format my drives
[06:22] <tfny1> Pommie, no such file or dir
[06:22] <knight> piao: will i lose data?
[06:22] <[A] ndy80> hi
[06:22] <Pommie> odd.
[06:22] <tfny1> But hda and hdb exist in the /dev dir
[06:22] <szprotek> siemka :)
[06:22] <piao> you can mount your /usr /var /home to other partition
[06:23] <Pommie> Well, close to same as before... as root... cd /dev && MAKEDEV hdb1
[06:23] <piao> when you reinstall ubuntu
[06:23] <[A] ndy80> In Firefox, gstreamer is the default plugin that try to play media. I'd like to make mplayer the default one. How can I change it? I remember I have to -reconfigure something but I don't remenber what exactly.
[06:23] <tfny1> don'z know how to make devide *hdb1* I got as error
[06:23] <piao> you can use about:config
[06:24] <knight> piao: but i have a 10gb part for /home and want to make 5 gbs each for /home and /usr
[06:24] <Pommie> tfny1: hang on, lemme research something
[06:25] <[A] ndy80> piao: about:config only tell me if plugin is installed
[06:25] <tfny1> ok
[06:25] <piao> you search gstream in about:config
[06:25] <Bnirkow> when i boot ubuntu 6.10 - it`s crash on bootsplash, when i cut "quiet" i see "running /scripts/init -premount" and it`s stops on it ... but ubuntu 5.10 install`s properly... anybody can help me?
[06:26] <linux1> hiya ppl is there a threaded encoding app for ubuntu im using devede which uses mencoder but that only uses one core ;(
[06:26] <Pommie> tfny1 : These are just regular IDE drives, right?
[06:26] <[A] ndy80> and another big question.... I've just started my session and I'm looking processes with "top" utility. Who the hell started dd and gzip as root? Is ubuntu doing something in background?
[06:26] <piao> then change it to mplay's plugin
[06:26] <knight> how can i resize /home partition?
[06:26] <lovloss> linux1 I looked and looked and looked... and found out that its best to use mencoder from the command line
[06:26] <tfny1> Pommie, yes
[06:26] <lovloss> linux1: It has a pretty intuitive interface actually.
[06:26] <piao> use parted
[06:27] <drkm> how can I install a rpm in Ubuntu?
[06:27] <piao> may be use Gparted is a good way
[06:27] <[A] ndy80> piao: yes, but how? about:config is a readonly page
[06:27] <knight> piao: but will i loose data?
[06:27] <ewaloe> hi room
[06:27] <Pici> drkm you can you alien to turn an rpm into a deb package, but its not really supported after that, obviously
[06:27] <linux1> ok thanks lovloss thought that would be the case ok will try it that way
[06:28] <Pici> and I'm not sure how package upgrades work then
[06:28] <piao> no, you can double click each item to change the value  in about:config
[06:28] <drkm> Pici: is there a way I can just un rpm it or something?
[06:28] <simmerz> how do I delete a route? I'm trying route del ip.add.re.ss and its not working.
[06:28] <simmerz> I also tried adding gw before the ip address
[06:28] <lovloss> linux1: surprisingly, youll wind up prefering it. Every time you leave out something it will tell you whats missing, and you can quickly look up a list of your options.
[06:28] <Pommie> tfny1 : in fdisk /dev/hdb, try verifying your partition table with the 'v' command.
[06:28] <JohnnyX_> how do i get xserver to start automatically at boot up
[06:28] <JohnnyX_> it keeps booting me to the command line
[06:29] <[A] ndy80> piao: I cannot modify about:config .... It has never been possible
[06:29] <piao> the best way is you move data to other partition,after you resized,move it back
[06:29] <black_13> do i ask questions about kubuntu here or is there another channel?
[06:29] <Pici> dkrm: Possibly, but I'm not familiar with a way of doing it.  I use alien.
[06:29] <troymcmclure> why would my browser want to d/l phpmyadmin forlder insted of opening it?
[06:29] <pinchmesh> ".xsession"
[06:29] <piao> this is a safe way.
[06:29] <lovloss> black_13 #kubuntu, but kubuntu users come here to. im in kubuntu
[06:29] <linux1> cool will have a go later ,load of movies to do for the kids tonight
[06:29] <tfny1> Pommie, "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary"
[06:29] <lovloss> Just a better chatroom
[06:29] <tfny1> what does this mean ?
[06:29] <knight> piao: but  i dont have any other partition to move
[06:29] <lovloss> by linux1
[06:29] <msandtorv> how do I list available packages with apt? feks if I want to install some kind of ftp daemon it would be easy in Adapt or whatever, but how about apt-get ?
[06:30] <black_13> lovloss cool
[06:30] <Pommie> tfny1: I suspect that your drive partition is mangled
[06:30] <lovloss> msandtorv  sudo apt-cache search (something)
[06:30] <piao> you can't change about:config, may be you don't have the pression
[06:30] <msandtorv> ty
[06:30] <tfny1> But under mac os it works
[06:30] <black_13> so far
[06:30] <black_13> things are working prettty good
[06:30] <black_13> but ..
[06:30] <lovloss> *smile* Im being helpfull today
[06:30] <black_13> i am getting the error: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[06:31] <lovloss> black_13
[06:31] <lovloss> black_13: using nvidia?
[06:31] <Professor`> so it loads off the cd like vdrive and dont install anything ?
[06:31] <black_13> lovloss ati
[06:31] <Pommie> tfny1: what do you get in fdisk's 'p' output?
[06:31] <piao> oh. i'm not suppose you to resize when your data on it
[06:31] <lovloss> black_13: ooooh, sorry then i dunno this one. I hate graphics poblems
[06:32] <lovloss> i just run 'envy' whenever they come up. lol. but thats for nvidia
[06:32] <[A] ndy80> I remember that there is a package to reconfigure with dpkg
[06:32] <[A] ndy80> but I don't remember which one
[06:32] <jengc0il> hello
[06:32] <bluefox83> ok, i have to ask this question again
[06:32] <mutmd> :q!

[06:32] <jengc0il> any1 help
[06:32] <bluefox83> how do i get around my girlfriend's computer restarting when it goes to load the kernel to install ubuntu?
[06:32] <tfny1> hdb1 HPFS/NTFS
[06:32] <Pommie> bluefox83 : Hold the left shift key on boot
[06:32] <piao> black_13  is you use thinkpad?
[06:33] <black_13> dell 600m
[06:33] <piao> or any computer use inter video
[06:33] <piao> oh...
[06:33] <bluefox83> Pommie, what does that do?
[06:33] <piao> when i use beryl,i get the same error
[06:33] <Pommie> bluefox83: when booting with the grub bootloader, holding the left shiftkey will abort the auto timer.
[06:33] <Bnirkow> ubuntu 6.10 on my computer are stoping on bootsplash
[06:34] <piao> i think it is a error of driver
[06:34] <Bnirkow> anybody can help?
[06:34] <piao> how long stoped?
[06:34] <PierreTramo> hi!
[06:34] <troymcmclure> why would my browser want to d/l phpmyadmin/ folder insted of opening it?
[06:34] <PierreTramo> i have a problem of "ugly" fonts with Xorg, using emacs-snapshot-gtk, ion3, etc.
[06:35] <PierreTramo> (in fact, every X11 "classic" fonts)
[06:35] <PierreTramo> here's a screenshot:
[06:35] <bluefox83> Pommie, i'm talking about during the alternate cd installer...it restarts after you pick an option (even the memory test)
[06:35] <PierreTramo> http://sitlib.org/pics/fonts_problem.html
[06:35] <Bnirkow> how long?? ==> don`t know ==> 30min`s and nothing changes
[06:35] <piao> i think you don't install php-apache2-mod
[06:36] <xDCDx> I am trying to boot using tftpd. If I set it up on inetd using the 'nobody' user, as adviced in the manual, in.tftpd says "cannot set groups for user nobody". Setting it to run as root on inetd works fine, but this is a security risk. What can I do?
[06:36] <PierreTramo> if anyone has an idea of what my problem is or how i could solve it, i offer one a beer :)
[06:36] <troymcmclure> piao, normal .php files work
[06:36] <jkimball4> If when I try to restart my computer, the system goes down, but doesn't actually restart, what could the issue be?  Would that be a setting somewhere?
[06:36] <piao> oh.
[06:36] <Pommie> tfny1 : line 2 of the fdisk 'p' output should show how many cylinders. If the #cyls for your hdb1 partition is beyond that, your partition table may be mangled.
[06:36] <piao> let me see ...
[06:37] <piao> is the apache2default d/l  when brower?
[06:37] <simmerz> I can't ping out to www.google.com, even though dns seems to work when i use dig

[06:38] <finn__> "Depends: libglu1-mesa but it is not going to be installed or	libglu1"  how can I install it if synaptic just won't?
[06:38] <Byan_trill> bleh.... seems linux can't bridge between ethernet and firewire...
[06:38] <finn__> sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa didn't do it either

[06:38] <piao> when apahce2 install there is a folder apache2default folder.
[06:38] <tfny1> and my partition has 3815730+ blocks
[06:38] <tfny1> or what do u mean ?
[06:39] <BlueLagun1> Is there any way I can download a torrent from feisty without upgrading my system?
[06:39] <troymcmclure> piao, yes.. it works
[06:39] <Pommie> tfny1 : The number before that, the End. Not the #blocks.
[06:39] <Stolencheese> Now, Anybody having trouble with Gaim 1.5.1 with MSN, Crashing, ect, I have a simple solution if your new to UBuntu. Go to, www.GetAutomatix.com, Choose either Dapper Drake 6.6 or Edge 6.10, Install and than go to Internet and install the Gaim, Lots of other useful programs on there that install themself at the click of a button.
[06:39] <bluefox83> you folks are not very helpful today :(
[06:39] <troymcmclure> piao, test.php works fine
[06:39] <tfny1> 1776409558 is the "end"

[06:40] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:40] <Pommie> bluefox83: Don't be so selfish.
[06:40] <BlueLagun1> I mean, not a torrent...
[06:40] <Stolencheese> Well, it hasn't broke my system yet.
[06:40] <BlueLagun1> Is there any way I can download a deb from feisty without upgrading my system?
[06:40] <bluefox83> Pommie, i'm in here a lot, so just today is not that huge fo a deal...
[06:40] <bluefox83> *of

[06:40] <bluefox83> Pommie, you have any idea why the installer would restart the system when i go to chose an installation method?
[06:41] <usuario> usuario
[06:41] <Pommie> Context-switching between dozens of questions isn't the easiest thing to do.
[06:41] <Stolencheese> I only needed it to download Gaim, Someone on Ubuntu forums reccomended it.
[06:41] <SpaceMerchant> finn__, do you know about Aptitude ?
[06:41] <piao> to find the error.
[06:41] <finn__> not a lot
[06:41] <tfny1> bluefox83, compare md5 hash of the image you downloaded and the original image
[06:41] <chrismhampson> can anyone tell me how to set up a usrname and pwd for the cups http config?
[06:41] <Pommie> bluefox83: I'd say either a bad CD or bad hardware.
[06:41] <SpaceMerchant> finn, it might do it for you,  sudo aptitude in a terminal window
[06:41] <bluefox83> tfny1, i tried, when i do it restarts the system
[06:42] <tfny1> are the hases the same ?
[06:42] <tfny1> *hashes
[06:42] <finn__> apt-get says libglu1-mesa is already the newest version.  but when installing  nvidia-glx   it says  libglu1-mesa not installed but it depends on it
[06:42] <bluefox83> tfny1, i dunno, when i do the "check disk for errors" thing it restarts the computer
[06:43] <willskillsafk> bluefox83, don't check the disk for errors then? :)
[06:43] <Pommie> tfny1 : re your massive "End" count. I really think your partition is mangled, and that's why the kernel isn't recognizing the drive partition correctly.
[06:43] <bluefox83> tfny1, but i let k3b check the md5sum before i burned it..all was well
[06:43] <tfny1> the check the .iso file on another computer (the md5 hash) and then check the hash of the .iso on the server
[06:43] <tfny1> Pommie, ok
[06:44] <bluefox83> i don't know how to do that >.>
[06:44] <SpaceMerchant> finn, aptitude can investigate the dependency issues, it might work for you :\
[06:44] <Pommie> tfny1: If the data is important, back it up, then destroy the partitions and recreate
[06:44] <tfny1> bluefox83, then I dont know, sry
[06:44] <tfny1> Pommie, ok, I will
[06:44] <tfny1> thanks for your help !

[06:48] <humbolto> how can I nice the thing by default
[06:48] <Pommie> vblanton : Turf both. If you want to 'try before you buy', you can just rename the directories and log out.
[06:48] <timo901> ermm i don't know what to do with the drivers they provide (ie compiling

[06:55] <Pommie> Dante123: I'd hope that would work, but some MoBos also have a jumper setting to disable cards. Check the manual?
[06:56] <adaptr> Zaggynl: there probably is; why don't you try to explain it ?
[06:56] <steel_lady> other thing, I have soyntec 66 in 1 card reader. it works if I put SD card in but it doesn't  work for compact flash. the other thing, I have pda HP ipaq, I suppose it is impossible to install programs on it through linux?
[06:56] <Dante123> I'll check manual....thanks.  Also I guess I could pull pci video card and install using integrated video....then add pci card after Ubuntu is installed.....what do you think?
[06:56] <Zaggynl> adaptr, well, netlimiter allows the user to limit bandwith in general and per program
[06:56] <Zaggynl> with a gui
[06:57] <VBB> Anyone: Why does an installer tells me that /dev/ aint a mounted unit
[06:57] <adaptr> and I'm guessing the GUI part is mandatory, right ?
[06:57] <Zaggynl> adaptr, true

[06:58] <Hoag> Hey all.  Having a problem. I tried to empty the recycle bin, and it crashed when trying to delete some files that were apparently locked. Now when I click the log out button, nothing happens. How do I fix this?
[06:58] <Pommie> Dante123: It's possible to do, but you'll have to possibly change your XOrg server when you're done. It'd would involve editing your xorg.conf configuration, and possibly changing a symlink to point to a different binary.
[06:58] <black_13> Lynoure i have installed the debs what do i need to add or xorg.conf im a bit confused
[06:58] <gfxstyler> hi

[06:59] <timo901> i been told to past this at the end of a file, Section "Extensions"  Option  "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
[06:59] <Lynoure> black_13: I have not needed the binary drivers myself, so I'm not sure
[06:59] <Hoag> bruenig: I tried to empty the trash bin, and it crashed. Now my log out button does nothing.
[06:59] <timo901> do i delete the part that was there before ?????
[07:00] <SpaceMerchant> timo901, I think that's for nvidia users
[07:00] <bruenig> Hoag, I can't imagine a way that those would be related unless you deleted files that had to do with the log out
[07:00] <SpaceMerchant> timo901, I think that's for nvidia users, that's why you disable it
[07:00] <Professor`> almost done install ^_^
[07:00] <SpaceMerchant> composting that is
[07:00] <black_13> Lynoure it looks like the howto is split into two sections one for 6.10 or 6.06
[07:00] <Hoag> bruenig: Well, I cant imaging what I'd have put them in the trash bin for. Is there a command to log out that I can try?
[07:01] <SpaceMerchant> "Composite" rather
[07:01] <bruenig> Hoag, you can restart, sudo shutdown -r now
[07:01] <Hoag> Alright, cheers!

[07:20] <riotkittie> bluefox83: are you booting with a splash?
[07:20] <steel_lady> I don't need sync, I need to install programs on my PDA. so it means the only way to do it installing windows? what about drivers for msn camera, card reader etc?
[07:20] <Pici> arke: if you cant, you'll know it and you can quit the install
[07:21] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah  > thats odd.
[07:21] <bluefox83> riotkittie, i'm booting with the alternate cd...
[07:21] <Pommie> steel_lady: card reader should be supported. It's generic. MSN camera, depends on what cam you have.
[07:21] <Tonren> How can I get my Ubuntu laptop on the wireless network to show up on a Windows desktops' My Network Places/Workgroup Computers list?
[07:21] <inu> thanks, i'll try all your suggestions...i love you all
[07:21] <SpaceMerchant> I have a usplash issue on shutdown, it looks like it hiccups close to the end of unloading.
[07:21] <Gidgidonihah> would it have anything to do with installing ubuntu on a 2nd HDD? And how might i go about manually installing grub?
[07:22] <riotkittie> bluefox83: oh, and that does not have a boot splash? im unfamiliar with that disc myself. so youre just seeing text?
[07:22] <Martiini> Tonren:  my laptop shows under winxp network places
[07:22] <steel_lady> card reader works only for SD card but not for others. for camara I need the driver to adjust colors and settings
[07:22] <darrell> would like to set my screen resolution to 1024x768.  I have a Dell Latitude LS with a Neomagic 256av device and its default settings in Ubuntu 6.10 is 800x600 any advice?
[07:22] <riotkittie> does it give you a specific error?  where is it locking up?
[07:22] <Tonren> Martiini: You didn't have to do anything crazy to make it happen?
[07:22] <bluefox83> i dunno, i used a "nosplash" thing in the boot option..still restarted the screen..
[07:22] <Pici> Gidgidonihah : where did you install grub to?
[07:23] <Pommie> steel_lady : If you can get your mobile PC to be recognized as a mountable USB drive, then you should be able to move files over to it.
[07:23] <SpaceMerchant> I can reboot and everything, I think it looks tacky due to a lack of smoothness.  kind of major problem cause it involves my ego.
[07:23] <Martiini> Tonren: you know how to configure samba , your routers , etc?
[07:23] <Gidgidonihah> i didn't configure grub or anything, just ran the installer.  winXP is on HDD1 and ubuntu was installed on a partition on HDD2
[07:23] <Tonren> Martiini: Um... no?  I mean, I know how to configure a router.  The internet works on all the machines.
[07:23] <hjmills> hi - im using skype and i can hear the other person but they cant hear me - could it be the drivers not supporting the mic?
[07:23] <riotkittie> darrell: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak && dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  ... or manually edit xorg.conf
[07:23] <Tonren> Martiini: I don't know how to configure Samba.
[07:23] <Pommie> steel_lady : card reader sounds either damaged or oddball. If it worked under Windows, likely 'oddball'.
[07:24] <steel_lady> I need to install on my PDA and not move to it. I need to execute from the system. actually I have all the programs in exe form
[07:24] <steel_lady> with windows it worked
[07:24] <wimpies> hjmills : I have that problem to : alsa 1.0.13/assign proper input port to mic/
[07:24] <humbolto> completely remove in synaptic is apt-get --purge remove on the command line, right?
[07:24] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah: iirc, ubuntu's install doesnt ask anything re: GRUB, just auto does it
[07:24] <hjmills> wimpies: any solution?
[07:24] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah: do you have a /grub dir in /boot ?
[07:24] <Martiini> Tonren:  samba is package for win networking .. it should be installed in ubuntu .. I cannot remember .. I think my network worked instantly
[07:25] <Pommie> steel_lady : Color adjusting your cam, well, that should be taken on as the task of the application you're using.
[07:25] <steel_lady> I have SD and CF cards on my PDA and linux in general recognizes only SD
[07:25] <bamzin> hi.. does anyone have a encore enrtr-104 router? i can't configure it right to share the internet access between 2pcs...
[07:25] <Gidgidonihah> @ riot i don't know, i can check and come back
[07:25] <Tonren> Martiini: Mine isn't.  I'll have to see if someone can help me out.
[07:25] <wimpies> hjmills : no not really.  I hope to upgrade to feisty ASAP (trying now) so that I get a new kernel and newer ALSA
[07:25] <Gidgidonihah> i'll have to load the live cd
[07:25] <BlueLagun1> Is there anyway to install specific feisty packages without upgrading my system?
[07:25] <riotkittie> Gidgidonihah: alright
[07:25] <Gidgidonihah> k thx back in a bit
[07:25] <timo901> im stuck
[07:26] <hjmills> wimpies: my plan also - the wifi may be better as well
[07:26] <Pommie> steel_lady : I have no idea about the CF/SD issue. There's hundreds of them on the market. Most are generic, and only worth $8.
[07:26] <Trentster> hey all, can someone assist me with installing PHP-JSON Module (v 1.1.1) on dapper, seems to only have 1.1.0 in the repos......would be very grateful...
[07:26] <Li`lEndian> hi, can someone please help me with running azureus- it doesnt seem to be working when I use the sun-java5 package. crashes after the splashscreen
[07:26] <DARKGuy> Hm, I wonder, does Ubuntu activates the swap partition by default? I just had to activate it today when installing from alternate CD (and I guess that was the issue I had with the normal install CD :/ so... it's a bug?)
[07:26] <novella93> nas
[07:26] <wimpies> hkmills : the problem is that the mic is not amplified enough. the driver needs to tell to the card that the selected input is a microphone so it amplifies but for some cards it does not work as it should.  like with mine ;(
[07:26] <Martiini> my atheros wlan card stopped working after I used module-assistant ( I think) ... How do I go about probing my ath0 wlan card and setting up wireless?
[07:26] <riotkittie> BlueLagun1: install feisty packages on edgy or dapper ?
[07:26] <steel_lady> my CF is of 4G and is not that cheap
[07:26] <Tonren> How can I get my Ubuntu laptop on the wireless network to show up on a Windows desktops' My Network Places/Workgroup Computers list?
[07:27] <hjmills> anybody tried using a bluetooth headset and dongle in skype and did it work?
[07:27] <Pommie> steel_lady : The reader itself, not the CF memory.
[07:27] <riotkittie> !samba | Tonren
[07:27] <ubotu> Tonren: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:27] <bcardarella> Does EdgyEft (server) include mod_rewrite for Apache2 or do I have to install it?
[07:28] <riotkittie> DARKGuy: it was activated for me
[07:28] <DARKGuy> riotkittie: but you used the guided partitioning? I always did and it never activated it for me >.< it created a Logical partition, not a primary ext3 one nor it did swapon :/
[07:28] <bluefox83> ok, now i have the error message i get when it restarts
[07:28] <timo901> What dose this mean " Perform the following commands (where <version> is the version number of the installer):
[07:28] <Pici> DARKGuy : I think I saw it inactived once when I did a reinstall of Ubuntu, and in tht case the installer didnt create the partition, it was already there.
[07:28] <Li`lEndian> riotkittie: but isnt it really difficult to share a linux folder with windows machines? i tried the config file with encrypt passwd option. but it doesnt seem to be working. :(
[07:28] <mgedmin> bcardarella: the apache package includes mod_rewrite, but it is disabled by default
[07:28] <timo901> im trying to install ati drivers
[07:29] <DARKGuy> Pici: mhm, something must be broken in there :/
[07:29] <riotkittie> DARKGuy: no. i manually created my partitions
[07:29] <Martiini> Tonren:  can you browse your windows network in ubuntu?
[07:29] <Li`lEndian> i have the prompt box for the passwd which i enter everytime on the windows box, but can't seem to login-
[07:29] <bcardarella> mgedmin: thanks, I'll just enable it then
[07:29] <bluefox83> "unknown fault or interrupt at EIP 000000060 c01002b1 ---------
[07:29] <DARKGuy> riotkittie: that must be why, I used the guided partitioning xD
[07:29] <bluefox83> "
[07:29] <bluefox83> any ideas?
[07:29] <juano> i cant play wma files in xmms in edgy
[07:29] <juano> any ideas?
[07:29] <dosnlinux> can I edit config files if I use ubuntu, or do I have to use a special tool?

[07:29] <mgedmin> bcardarella: sudo a2enmod rewrite should work, I think
[07:30] <juano> DARKGuy: ive tried all that
[07:30] <juano> DARKGuy: no luck
[07:30] <Pommie> bluefox83 : That's pretty messed up. Sounds like buggy hardware.
[07:30] <Tonren> Martiini: Windows Network appears when I go to Places -> Network Servers, but when I double click on it, nothing's there.  THat may be because there are no Windows computers configured to share folders on the network.  However, I would expect to see my own laptop there, because it is configured ot share a folder.
[07:30] <bluefox83> Pommie, which buggy hardware?
[07:30] <DARKGuy> juano: well, you could try automatix, but they say it tends to break installs :/
[07:30] <riotkittie> memory, maybe?
[07:30] <bluefox83> the cdrom works fine..the hard drive works...
[07:30] <Pommie> The "unknown interrupt" message.
[07:30] <bluefox83> i've done memory tests, they work fine
[07:31] <longbean> dosnlinux: config files should be editable with any text editor
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: yeah id prefer a simple wma install
[07:31] <Pici> Have you tried a different install cd?
[07:31] <bluefox83> older knoppix cds boot
[07:31] <Pommie> memory might be fine, but the chipset may not be.
[07:31] <bcardarella> mgedmin: awesome. thanks!
[07:31] <BlueLagun1> riotkittie: edgy
[07:31] <dosnlinux> thanks
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: its weird cause i even see the plugin inside xmms and it wont work
[07:31] <Li`lEndian> umm...can anyone tell me which gstreamer pkg i've to install in order to get rhythmbox to play mp3?
[07:31] <riotkittie> when does that line pop up? is there anything vaguely coherrent near it? :P
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: plus all my other apps are playing wma with no problem
[07:31] <bluefox83> it's a celeron 2.7ghz
[07:31] <DARKGuy> juano: XMMS can have the plugin, but if your comp doesn't has the codec... oO
[07:31] <DARKGuy> juano: Ah, then that's another issue
[07:31] <juano> DARKGuy: ive got the codec
[07:32] <juano> DARKGuy: thats why my other apps play wma
[07:32] <Pommie> bluefox83: I'd be trying to find a hardware test diagnostic from the board manufacturer
[07:32] <DARKGuy> juano: I've seen that Audacious is a better replacement for XMMS, maybe that one will play your WMA files o.o?
[07:32] <DARKGuy> juano: yeah
[07:32] <juano> Audacious?
[07:32] <juano> is it xmms style?
[07:32] <riotkittie> wmas :o
[07:32] <DARKGuy> Pretty the same :)
[07:32] <riotkittie> yeah its basically a clone
[07:32] <SzArAk> yes
[07:32] <bluefox83> oh geez, i can install windows on that piece of crap but i can't install linux? what the hell
[07:33] <riotkittie> xmms -> beep and audacious
[07:33] <BlueLagun1> (01:26:48 PM) riotkittie: BlueLagun1: install feisty packages on edgy or dapper ?
[07:33] <Pommie> bluefox83: It's just an opinion. :-P
[07:33] <juano> DARKGuy: not available at the repos or is it?
[07:33] <DARKGuy> !audacious
[07:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:33] <DARKGuy> wtf oO
[07:33] <Pommie> I'm perfectly willing to accept that I might be wrong. :)
[07:33] <DARKGuy> I think it needs some special repos if I'm not mistaken

[07:34] <juano> DARKGuy: its weird, shouldnt it work if i installed the plugin correctly?
[07:34] <riotkittie> BlueLagun1: uhhhm. im not really sure. you might be able to do it by adding the feisty repos to your sources but there's the whole issue of dependencies and everything and chances are, it'd result in some serious breakage. but i dont know. youre probably better off compiling from source if you need a program or an update to a program
[07:35] <DARKGuy> juano: depends on the plugin, maybe it's broken o.o

[07:37] <Dante123> Ubuntu won't install with PCI graphics card
[07:37] <hjmills> Dante123: use the onboard then add in the pci?
[07:37] <timo901> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1705/
[07:37] <pagefault> it should turn off the onboard if another is present
[07:37] <mgedmin> wkerzend: I use mergedfb on ati 7500
[07:37] <Dante123> That's the only thing I can think of too....
[07:37] <Pommie> Dante123 : Yeah, what hjmills said. Might have to.
[07:37] <Martiini> Tonren:  you got lucky .. I was your pop-up
[07:38] <Pommie> What's the better video card make?

[07:38] <timo901> help guys
[07:38] <Tonren> Martiini: Actually, it's still not working :\
[07:38] <Dante123> I would think that would be true pagefault.....but not sure and Dell support site seems sketchy on this...
[07:38] <pagefault> Dante123: it seems to be that way with our dell servers
[07:38] <pagefault> but no idea about their desktops

[07:39] <Professor`> lovely 10 inch monitor
[07:39] <Pommie> pagefault : SHOULD be. I'd be inclined to agree, but... I've had older hardware that Linux insists on recognizing, despite BIOS settings, before. ;)
[07:39] <DARKGuy> juano: did it work? :)
[07:39] <timo901> any one have an idea what this is on about,

[07:40] <pagefault> yeah linux goes around the bios all the time
[07:40] <Dante123> is that a boot parameter hjmills??
[07:40] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: You'll probably have to change your xorg.conf file directly

[07:40] <bacos`> Hello

[07:40] <callas> I'll find out
[07:40] <Dante123> to force vesa?
[07:40] <cokeslut> dunno
[07:40] <Dante123> Pommie....to force vesa
[07:40] <wkerzend> mgedmin: interesting, If I boot my laptop with external screen connected it doesnt detect a screen anymore
[07:41] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: It should be at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:41] <VBB> ?help How do i enable ssh on Ubuntu ?
[07:41] <Martiini> Tonren:  you can try  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=12824292 .. thats all I have time for , sorry
[07:41] <Pici> VBB: client or server?
[07:41] <SzArAk> VBB: server?
[07:41] <Pommie> hmmm... I think that newer kernels will force nvidia or fb. It's been a long while.
[07:41] <mgedmin> wkerzend: did you try Fn-F7 while the laptop is booting to get the picture on both screens?
[07:41] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: Near the bottom of the file, there should be lots of "mode lines"; manually add your desired resolution to the beginning of said lines
[07:41] <mgedmin> VBB: sudo apt-get install ssh
[07:41] <Dante123> i'll google "ubuntu and dell 2400" to see if anyone else has found a solution
[07:41] <wkerzend> mgedmin: will try that
[07:41] <VBB> Pici, SzArAk: Server
[07:41] <SecrethX> BrownFrog, thanks ill try it out
[07:42] <BrownFrog> SecrethX: Then you'll have to restart X (I usually just reboot my computer)

[07:42] <mgedmin> Hoag: gnome-open /home/image.png should do what you want

[07:44] <Professor`> hehe
[07:44] <Pici> hjmills, you want to auto-login too?
[07:45] <juano> DARKGuy: oh , your right

[07:45] <wkerzend> mgedmin: it stays on the external when booting

[07:51] <compengi> is there away that i can open a database file? because my pc freezes when i try to open it
[07:51] <Li`lEndian> can i connect to windows machines via vnc? and if so, which package do i have to install on windows? i tried with ultravnc- with that, i cant connect with the windows machine from the ubuntu box.
[07:52] <TruthElixirX> So, anyone here a real expert at getting GRUB to install on a very very reluctant HDD?
[07:52] <Nevermore-Lap> why until i used wifi to connect to internet everything was speedy, when i used ethernet it started to take 5 min to boot...why
[07:52] <TruthElixirX> Had adaptr try to help me for about 3 or 4 hours yesterday
[07:52] <TruthElixirX> with no avail
[07:53] <Gidgidonihah> how do i mount my drives while in the live cd?
[07:53] <unop> Li`lEndian, ultravnc works -- but on windows you must ensure that the service is running and that the firewall isn't blocking connections on the VNC ports
[07:53] <ircusr> hi
[07:53] <unop> compengi, that depends on what kind of database that file is tied with -- do you know? what file extention?
[07:54] <ircusr> i'm running ubuntu under vmware under windows
[07:54] <hjmills> Pici: sorry - i keep lagging out :'(
[07:54] <ircusr> and I'm trying to setup 3d accel in vmware
[07:54] <ircusr> is that possible?
[07:54] <Li`lEndian> unop: ditto on that- didnt check out the firewall before. thanks.
[07:54] <rohan> ircusr: afaik, no
[07:55] <compengi> unop, let me check
[07:55] <rohan> vmware does not support 3d
[07:55] <ircusr> i read in the vmware website that it does
[07:55] <rohan> is there any kind of addon cd for edgy, that would make installation of extra codecs, software etc easy ?
[07:55] <bluefox83> ok, so i got the installer to work..i think her card reader was fucking things up so i disabled it in bios :)
[07:55] <ircusr> and on a ubuntu forum post that it was possible, it even got instructions
[07:55] <bluefox83> it had a wierd name like 1358 or something
[07:56] <unop> rohan, well, there are repositories you can add to your sources.list that make software installation easy -- among the software are quite a few coedcs packages
[07:56] <Nevermore-Lap> i deleted /etc/cron.d/prelink how can i recreate it?
[07:56] <unop> !w32codecs > rohan
[07:56] <IdleOne> !language | bluefox83
[07:56] <ubotu> bluefox83: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:56] <rohan> unop: yes, but it would be great if it were all on a cd
[07:56] <rohan> unop: to facilitate install on many machines, as well as so that i can distribute it to people interested in ubuntu
[07:57] <rohan> i see quite a few addon cd's available for dapper, but not edgy
[07:57] <unop> rohan, it would be indeed .. but most codecs are not released under an open license and therefore debian and ubuntu cannot officially include them in their distributions
[07:57] <rohan> not officially, ofcourse
[07:57] <compengi> unop, .db
[07:57] <ircusr> well??

[08:11] <unop> lmosher, yes, don't worry about the l-r-m package ... it's held back because the new version conflicts with nvidia-glx but you need the latter to support your card

[08:16] <unop> Tonren, don't get too caught up in wishfull thinking -- and you seem to forget that theres a reason manuals and documentations for products exist
[08:17] <mgedmin> Tonren: nautilus gives you an option to share folders in the popup menu when you click on a folder; then you can head over to smb.conf and see what it did
[08:17] <mohkohn> cid2 you should already have it in a new install of ubuntu
[08:17] <n2diy> cld2: use synaptic
[08:17] <mgedmin> when I tried it it broke down because there was a space in the filename ;)
[08:17] <Tonren> mgedmin: I did that.  It appears to have configured it correctly, but the shared folders still don't show up in Windows Network.
[08:17] <gmi01> hello, does ubuntu support the nvidia geforce go 7 series?
[08:17] <mgedmin> hmpf :/
[08:17] <mohkohn> otherwise sudo apt-get install gimp openoffice

[08:19] <steve_> anyone able to answer a question about configuring conky?
[08:19] <Tonren> unop: thx
[08:19] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. In disk administration, one of my HDD's, which seems faulty as I cannot mount, format it or access it, has a slightly different logo to the other HDDs which are all working fine. Where could I find a 'legend' so that I can interpret wghat the logo means (the help file is corrupt or innaccisbler).
[08:20] <dromer> Cybercod: yes, -ish
[08:20] <Tonren> !ask | steve_
[08:20] <ubotu> steve_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:20] <etank> cld2, to get the actual name to remove run dpkg -l | grep <part_of_the_name>
[08:20] <dromer> Cybercod: you play guitar with the keyboard
[08:20] <etank> cld2, that will show you what you have installed
[08:20] <unop> Tonren, linux has a LONG way to go catching microsoft up -- but i dont think there's any consensus on that within the open source community
[08:20] <IdleOne> gaspipe1: np
[08:20] <Cybercod> dromer   Oh, cool.. linux based I take it
[08:20] <M_Fatih_> i have a serious problem with my 5.2" external box usb hdd.. when i umount and swich to off mode in windows, there is no ugly sound.. but in ubuntu, i umount all partitions in my external disk and i switch the on/off button to off, then disk has poweroff with a ugly "cligk" sound.. i broked a external hdd with mount problems before.. and i don't want to break this hdd :( any idea? (sorry for bad english)
[08:20] <dromer> Cybercod: but it runs teh sloowww on this machine :(
[08:20] <Tonren> unop: Ubuntu's the closest we've come yet, IMHO.
[08:20] <dromer> Cybercod: multi platform
[08:20] <etank> cld2, or you could use synaptic and do a search and then just uncheck the stuff you want to remove.
[08:20] <dromer> Cybercod: google it :)
[08:21] <dromer> Cybercod: http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/
[08:21] <troymcmclure> lamp
[08:21] <AndyCR> hey
[08:21] <steve_> where is the config file for conky supposed to be located. also, what is the file supposed to be named?
[08:21] <unop> Tonren, to microsoft? i dont think ubuntu apes microsoft one bit
[08:21] <Cybercod> will do... can't play guitar for 6 more months... i cut off part of my left middle finger
[08:21] <AndyCR> im having a little trouble with getting wireless to work
[08:21] <klm-> how do I make a vertical spacing, or whatever it's called, inside a cell in Calc? (pressing enter would do in a wordprocessor)
[08:21] <AndyCR> its a windows only adapter so im using ndiswrapper
[08:21] <troymcmclure> whats the lamp wiki guide?
[08:21] <cld2> etank: thanks. aptitdue remove openoffice.org is only removing the one package, none of the dependencies. ill try synaptic, thanks.
[08:21] <goodgerster> *rings bell* anyone not being served?
[08:21] <Delux_247> klm-: : right click , insert row
[08:22] <AndyCR> i do the modprobe ndiswrapper, iwconfig the right parameters, ifconfig up, etc but when i do dhclient adapter it just prints inifnitely
[08:22] <mnoir> steve_: have you tried (from a terminal prompt) typing man conky   ?
[08:22] <VBB> Hi.
[08:22] <VBB> Is there a blue theme
[08:22] <Tonren> unop: I feel like I'm trying to do something extremely simple with Samba, so simple that no one bothers covering it in detail.  All of these HOWTOs are for printer shares, domain name servers and stuff like that.  Do I really have to understand the Windows networking infrastructure to share a freaking folder?
[08:22] <mc44> !lamp | troymcmclure
[08:22] <VBB> for Ubuntu ?
[08:22] <ubotu> troymcmclure: 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+)
[08:22] <troymcmclure> mc44, thanks!
[08:22] <AndyCR> VBB: yes, go to gnome-look and search for bluman, blue human, etc
[08:22] <steve_> let me try that mnoir
[08:22] <AndyCR> there are icons, gtk etc
[08:22] <VBB> AndyCR: thanks
[08:22] <goodgerster> VBB, yes - it's called clearlooks and comes with Dapper and Edgy. I recommend the tango icons also
[08:22] <etank> cld2, do a search for openoffice and it should show you all of the stuff that is installed for it
[08:22] <AndyCR> *blueman
[08:22] <VBB> o
[08:23] <AndyCR> though clearlooks isnt shiny like human
[08:23] <VBB> Goodgerster: where do I find that ? I'm on Edgy
[08:23] <mnoir> steve_: i get a manpage that may answer yer questions - i do not use it but....
[08:23] <AndyCR> there are specific human blue themes, im running one now
[08:23] <AndyCR> gnome-look.org
[08:23] <Cybercod> dromer... it claims to need opengl support... you got your graphics card working ok?
[08:23] <steve_> looks very helpful thanks
[08:23] <dromer> anyone: could it be I don't have OpenGL configed right for the game to run smoothly? I have plenty of ram (512) and a Geforce2MX on this machine (not too fancy)
[08:23] <goodgerster> VBB: System/Preferences/Theme: select Clearlooks, Details/Icons: select Tango, Close/Close
[08:23] <mnoir> steve_: some folks find manpages hard to read...
[08:23] <Cybercod> Requirements: SDL, 256 MB of RAM, a fairly fast OpenGL graphics card (shader support not necessary, antialiasing support recommended), SDL compatible sound card.
[08:24] <gaspipe1> >idleone got a sec?
[08:24] <dromer> Cybercod: exactly, afaik it runs ok, I donl;y use this box to play movies though ..
[08:24] <goodgerster> dromer: do you have the drivers installed for your card?
[08:24] <unop> Tonren, i dont think you googled right .. because i can see plenty of simple howtos that'll get your job done easy especially this one here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Samba_Server
[08:24] <dromer> afaik I have the nvidia-drivers
[08:24] <steve_> mnoir, i just wanted to get a cool looking system monitor for the desktop. any other suggestions? conky seems a bit older or perhaps less documented
[08:24] <mnoir> steve_: but man should be the first try for any unix command, even modern ones
[08:24] <IdleOne> gaspipe1: whats up
[08:24] <Cybercod> you installed the proprietary ones?
[08:24] <Tonren> unop: I found that, did it, and it didn't work.
[08:24] <gaspipe1> >idleone o'm on step 6 (6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".)
[08:24] <etank> steve_, gkrellm is nice
[08:25] <VBB> :s
[08:25] <VBB> It's not there
[08:25] <mnoir> steve_: no - i tend towards commandline when i want to go under the hood :)   - old fashioned
[08:25] <cld2> etank: yeah but then I get into this thing where its trying to remove the ubuntu-desktop meta package. I guess ill just leave. no harm really
[08:25] <steve_> i dont want a window, just a desktop overlay
[08:25] <gaspipe1> >idleone my root is (hd1,1)
[08:25] <goodgerster> VBB: you must have uninstalled it, then
[08:25] <Tonren> unop: You're not the only Ubuntu user who knows a little bit about what he's doing, dude.  I don't even TOUCH #ubuntu until I've searched the Ubuntu Wiki. ubuntuguide.com, ubuntuforums.org and Google thoroughly.
[08:25] <VBB> no it's a new install...
[08:25] <goodgerster> VBB: or be using Kubuntu
[08:25] <VBB> goodgangster: Does it matter that I used the alternative CD ?
[08:25] <dromer> goodgerster: oh no, I have the nv-drivers running, should I use nvidia instead for better OpenGL support?
[08:25] <gaspipe1> >idleone now this is my prob when i boot up i don't have an option for which os i wish to use
[08:25] <IdleOne> gaspipe1: I am probably not the best person to ask about installing grub sorry
[08:26] <goodgerster> dromer: yes, you need the nvidia driver to get hardware accleration. nv is shite
[08:26] <dromer> haha, ok
[08:26] <etank> cld2, verify what i am saying but i think that it is really ok if that gets removed
[08:26] <gaspipe1> >idleone owwww ok
[08:26] <goodgerster> VBB: nope
[08:26] <gaspipe1> anyone else fallowing this convo?
[08:26] <VBB> Goodgangster: Strange.. I did not uninstall anything..
[08:26] <etank> cld2, like i said though verify that before you do it
[08:26] <IdleOne> gaspipe1: i know about the !grub fatoid but thats about it
[08:26] <AndyCR> VBB: just like clearlooks vs human, tango vs human isnt as shiny, though similar, there are blue variants of the shiny human theme
[08:26] <dromer> hmmm, the sudoer on this machine has good console access, but another user has major crappy console, how can I change the config for that user?
[08:26] <wkerzend> two questions: mergedfb(radeon driver) second monitor stays black, but is recognized. 2: in fglrx bigdesktop I get mouse offsets when changing screens. Please solve one of the problems
[08:26] <goodgerster> VBB: are you running Kubuntu?
[08:26] <gaspipe1> >idleone ok thanks though
[08:27] <troymcmclure> anyone knows how to fix The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)." error in a phpmyadmin ?
[08:27] <VBB> GG: Nope
[08:27] <gaspipe1> >flanel u around?
[08:27] <VBB> Andy: Ok..
[08:27] <mnoir> gaspipe1: your issue is that you cannot choose grub choices?
[08:27] <unop> Tonren, well, the wiki exists, the procedures there have been verified by the authors (and me), they work and work well, you just botched up somewhere along the line .. but nothing's easy my friend :) welcome to linux!!
[08:27] <Professor`> up and runnine
[08:27] <goodgerster> VBB: you've done something wrong with my instructions then
[08:27] <Tonren> unop: Uh-huh.
[08:27] <cld2> etank: the way I understood it was that if removed the meta package you would have a hard time with future updates... thanks for the info. ill just leave it alone and pretend its not there. it just kills me when I do an update and have to download 80 megs of OO that im not going to use.
[08:27] <gaspipe1> >mnoir when i boot (w/out the boot disk) my pc boots windows xp pro automatic
[08:27] <Professor`> is there torrent programs for ubuntu ?
[08:28] <VBB> GoodGangster: :S
[08:28] <VBB> GoodGangster: I don't think so.. :(
[08:28] <goodgerster> Professor`: yes, but they're crap. use uTorrent under wine
[08:28] <AndyCR> anyone know why for me dhcient gives the error "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."?
[08:28] <gaspipe1> >mnoir i want an option or better yet a hotkey for a choice
[08:28] <mnoir> gaspipe1: and you want what?
[08:28] <goodgerster> VBB: I'm goodgerster
[08:28] <VBB> yeahyeah...
[08:28] <VBB> :P
[08:28] <VBB> whatever.. :P
[08:28] <Professor`> how about codecs for most popular vids?
[08:28] <VBB> Can I call you GG ?
[08:28] <etank> cld2, i think that there is a way to lock in the version of an app that is installed. Google that and see if that is right. That may save you the download time.
[08:28] <Tonren> unop: I wish I knew a good way to become a part of the Ubuntu dev team.  I guess I wish I had the time.  Becuase I experience stuff like this and think, "This isn't where we should be."
[08:28] <mgedmin> AndyCR: because it does not get a DHCP response from your DHCP server
[08:28] <VBB> GoodGerster: Can I call you GG ?
[08:28] <AndyCR> Prof: google easyubuntu
[08:28] <unop> AndyCR, it means the DHCP server could not be reached
[08:28] <goodgerster> VBB: I'd rather you included my full name as it makes it easier to see
[08:28] <Professor`> ok
[08:29] <Professor`> brb
[08:29] <AndyCR> hmm. how can that be fixed?
[08:29] <goodgerster> Professor`: see the FAQ for details on proprietary codecs
[08:29] <AndyCR> it works in fedora
[08:29] <VBB> GoodGerster: It's being highlighted ?
[08:29] <mgedmin> !codecs > Professor`
[08:29] <CheshireViking> !codecs

[08:29] <goodgerster> VBB: yep
[08:29] <VBB> GoodGerster: Ok. my name too :P
[08:29] <gaspipe1> >mnoir i'm on step 6...... 6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".
[08:29] <AndyCR> is there some configuration that can be changed?
[08:29] <cld2> etank: thanks very much
[08:29] <VBB> GoodGerster: What am I looking for on gnome-look ?
[08:29] <goodgerster> VBB: my name is Goodger, with a -ster because gmail doesn't like it
[08:29] <VBB> GoodGerster: Ok
[08:29] <goodgerster> VBB: I don't have such a program
[08:29] <gaspipe1> >mnoir and am wondering do i type setup (hd1,1)
[08:30] <arricka> I just updated to edgy, but I'm still having problems viewing websites with flash
[08:30] <VBB> GoodGerster: It's on the internet. :P
[08:30] <goodgerster> VBB: go to the system/preferences/theme program
[08:30] <ant_> how come firestarter isn't listed in synaptic?
[08:30] <arricka> can anyone help me?
[08:30] <VBB> GoodGerster: I'm in there -- I don't see the blue thing...
[08:30] <VBB> GoodGerster: I don't think my system is updated, tho..
[08:30] <arricka> I tried downloading it through links on firefox, but the installer is not coming up right, either
[08:30] <AndyCR> VBB: it doesn't come with a blue human theme, let me link you to one
[08:31] <VBB> AndyCR: Thank you!! :D
[08:31] <mnoir> gaspipe1: as far as I know hd1,1 would be 2nd hd, 2nd partition
[08:31] <goodgerster> VBB: it's called clearlooks
[08:31] <jrib> arricka: have you installed flashplugin-nonfree from multiverse?
[08:31] <najjstroem0050> Hello, all. Am a newbie to ubuntu and the linux world and i get a huge problem installing my 3d Drivers for Nvidia 7600GT.
[08:31] <mnoir> gaspipe1: sorry - i have not been watching and i fear i missed some messages
[08:31] <VBB> GoodGerster: No clearlooks either.
[08:31] <AndyCR> goodgerster: again, clearlooks != blue human
[08:31] <goodgerster> najjstroem0050: what's the trouble
[08:31] <AndyCR> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=37099
[08:31] <arricka> I tried before edgy and I think after too, but let me try again
[08:31] <AndyCR> theres the icon theme
[08:31] <unop> Tonren, well, you dont have to be part of any dev team -- the underlying core technology i.e. samba works quite splendidly -- it just takes someone to write a GUI tool that makes the installation and configuration of it quite "pointy-clicketty" .. something like SWAT
[08:31] <jrib> ant_: have you enabled universe
[08:31] <najjstroem0050> goodgerster can i take it in private with you, so many people chatting here
[08:31] <goodgerster> AndyCR: yes, but clearlooks is better and human is just a shite derivative in any case
[08:31] <Tonren> unop: Figured it out, at least partially.  I had to go to System -> Administration -> Networking and check "Advertise services on the LAN"
[08:32] <ant_> -noob
[08:32] <goodgerster> najjstroem0050: you can try, but it doesn't work historically.
[08:32] <jrib> arricka: k, if you want to get my attention, prefix what you say with my name
[08:32] <TruthElixirX> Anyone here know how to check and see if GRUB is installed right, and if not how to fix it?
[08:32] <goodgerster> najjstroem0050: or my msn address is goodgerster@gmail.com
[08:32] <mnoir> gaspipe1: issue is that if you do not write to mbr, how are ya gonna choose the grub loader - ms doesnt give you the option
[08:32] <jin> what's the utility called like dashboard in OS X?
[08:32] <jin> but for ubuntu?
[08:32] <goodgerster> TruthElixirX: if your system boots, it's installed right; otherwise you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst with a livecd
[08:32] <gaspipe1> >mnoir right so i should use setup (hd1)
[08:33] <goodgerster> jin, no such program afaik
[08:33] <gaspipe1> >mnoir am i correct?
[08:33] <jin> there is
[08:33] <najjstroem0050> well heres the problem, as u maybe know you need to change some in the xorg.conf for nvidia drivers, i have reed something about chaning the nv to nvidia, and when i do it next time on boot i get this nasty error telling me the X-Server is wrong configured.
[08:33] <jin> something similar
[08:33] <jin> widgets?
[08:33] <AndyCR> VBB: heres the theme
[08:33] <AndyCR> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=36396
[08:33] <AndyCR> download both, then drag and drop the files into the themes window
[08:33] <jin> !widgets
[08:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widgets - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:34] <AndyCR> them choose theme details, in controls choose human-blue, in icons choose human-azul, done
[08:34] <AndyCR> blue human
[08:34] <goodgerster> najjstroem0050: did you follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851?
[08:34] <VBB> AndyCR: looks fancy
[08:34] <mnoir> gaspipe1: before i say yes, ya better summarize - the scroll here is killing me...
[08:34] <Professor`> Ok i installed easyubuntu, it says run command, where do i go to run it :D
[08:34] <AndyCR> anyone know hwo to fix dhclient on my pc
[08:34] <gaspipe1> >mnoir can i im u?
[08:34] <AndyCR> seems to be an ubuntu issue since it works in other distros
[08:34] <VBB> AndyCR: Any dependats
[08:34] <Tonren> unop: It's weird, though.  In Places -> Network Servers -> Windows Network, my workgroup "mshome" shows up as a 'blank file'.  When I double click it, it says "Not a folder".  I have to wait anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes for it to turn into a network folder.
[08:34] <mnoir> gaspipe1: sure :)
[08:34] <VBB> AndyCR: that I need to get ?
[08:34] <AndyCR> VBB: nope
[08:34] <VBB> AndyCR: Ok
[08:35] <mnoir> gaspipe1: you mean pm - yes?
[08:35] <gaspipe1> >mnoir right... or pm me
[08:35] <AndyCR> so nobody knows how to fix dhclient?
[08:35] <Gosha> !nohup
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nohup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <AndyCR> maybe someone on the forums does
[08:35] <Gosha> stop lying ubotu!
[08:35] <AndyCR> should probably post there
[08:35] <arricka> jrib- admittedly I don't know much about computers, I tried reinstalling flashplugin non free of the synaptic and it still comes up as an open office document of jibberish
[08:36] <mnoir> gaspipe1: i'm there...
[08:36] <VBB> AndyCR: How do I install it ? using the theme manager ?

[08:38] <TruthElixirX> Need help with GRUB. I'm extremely confused and out of options.
[08:38] <jrib> ant_: np, you get a debian menu by installing the "menu" package

[08:40] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: Nope. All I can do is run the Live CD. I have never had windows on this HDD though. Its a brand new one
[08:41] <VBB> AndyCR: THe one you pointed me to.
[08:41] <jrib> arricka: ok, what isn't working?
[08:41] <AndyCR> oh. i pointed to two, maybe you missed one, was it icons or controls?
[08:41] <gaspipe1> >mnoir did u see pm?
[08:41] <M_Fatih_> i have a serious problem with my 5.2" external box usb hdd.. when i umount and swich to off mode in windows, there is no ugly sound.. but in ubuntu, i umount all partitions in my external disk and i switch the on/off button to off, then disk has poweroff with a ugly "cligk" sound.. i broked a external hdd with mount problems before.. and i don't want to break this hdd :( any idea? (sorry for bad english)
[08:42] <VBB> erm
[08:42] <VBB> I'm not sure
[08:42] <VBB> i think it's controsl
[08:42] <gaspipe1> be back
[08:42] <mnoir> gaspipe1: no - i wonder what's up - i am typing /msg gaspipe1  and you do not see it??
[08:42] <ctothej> is Dapper or Edgy better for a beginner ??
[08:42] <VBB> AndyCR: It's called gtkrc
[08:42] <mok> hello, i have a problem with mounting a .iso , iso9660 wont work ,are there other options?
[08:42] <jrib> ctothej: edgy will have more recent software, either one is fine for a beginner
[08:43] <VBB> Ctothej: I'm a beginner, I didn't try Dapper, but I think Edgy is nice.
[08:43] <ctothej> jrib: thanks
[08:43] <ctothej> cool thanks
[08:43] <AndyCR> VBB: ok, you are not extracting the archive are you? you are supposed to just drag the archive over it
[08:43] <arricka> jrib-well, now it's just the website, which probably is their problem. Except that I got it to work on a Windows run computer
[08:43] <Tonren> mok: What command are you using to mount it?
[08:43] <mnoir> gaspipe1: ok - plan b - pls join #bosgas
[08:43] <VBB> AndyCR: Oops. :D
[08:43] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: but XP was previously installed on this machine, but no a different hard drive. Could it be something to do with the BIOS, or perhaps just a hardware conflict with Ubuntu
[08:43] <AndyCR> ah
[08:43] <jrib> arricka: is it a public website?  If so, what is the url?
[08:43] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: when you install - what is the first error or warning?
[08:44] <mok> im using
[08:44] <mok> mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0
[08:44] <mnoir> gaspipe1: is it time to sat 'crikey!" yet :)
[08:44] <najjstroem0050> this channel seems to be wery active thought :P
[08:45] <tiolpxe> hi can someone tell me where the innitab is located on ubuntu or the equivalent?
[08:45] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: no error or warning really. Everything in the install goes fine, wihtout a hitch. Tells me to reboot and remove CD, I do. The nwhen it comes back on the HP splash screen pops up, then it goes black and I get this "Please insert boot media and hit a key or reboot". And that is all.
[08:45] <VBB> AndyCR: Can you recommend any windowborders and icosn ?
[08:45] <VBB> icons
[08:45] <humbolto> what do I have to choose on "switch user" when running on xgl? xgl server or standard server?
[08:45] <shrimants> how do i find out if Ubuntu supports my wireless card? i have an ipw2195abg
[08:45] <corevette> what advantages does ubuntu have over fedora?
[08:45] <h3xis> everything
[08:45] <arricka> jrib-tintin.com then the uk site which is tintin.francetv.fr/uk/  it's for a research paper
[08:45] <h3xis> apt-get
[08:45] <h3xis> for one
[08:45] <BULLE> corevette: its just yet another linux distribution
[08:45] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: i dunno - sounds like a low level problem (hardware?) - what is the machine, disj type, etc?
[08:46] <BULLE> h3xis: fedora comes with yum, its pretty comparable
[08:46] <h3xis> apt-get is better than yum
[08:46] <BULLE> corevette: from my own view, i find ubuntu to be a bit easier to install and setup
[08:46] <jrib> arricka: it works here, maybe you can try using flash9beta
[08:46] <mnoir> disj=disk :)
[08:46] <humbolto> yum sucks
[08:46] <humbolto> just tried it
[08:46] <arricka> jrib- how do I do that?
[08:46] <jrib> arricka: you'll need to enable -backports to upgrade flashplugin-nonfree
[08:46] <gizmo_the_great1> Sorry as this is not entirely Ubuntu related but does anyone know of a URL that lists great quotes about the spirit of open-source software?
[08:46] <jrib> !backports | arricka
[08:46] <BULLE> corevette: i use ubuntu on my desktop and laptop, and fedora on my server
[08:46] <ubotu> arricka: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[08:46] <humbolto> ubuntu comes with laptop special keys enabled
[08:47] <AndyCR> VBB: yes
[08:47] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: HP Pavilion, disj? no idea what that means. Its a 250 gig seagate HDD, ATi Radeon 9600 XT vid card, 512 RAM,...umm.. AMD Anthalon 2600+ 2.08 GHz Processor.
[08:47] <VBB> AndyCR: what ? :)
[08:47] <simonvc> Hey Quick Question. How do i stop this xubuntu laptop from suspending when i shut the lid?
[08:47] <shrimants> I have an intel pro/wireless 2195abg wireless card, how do i find out if ubuntu supports it, or if not how do i make ubuntu support it/
[08:47] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: oh disk, uhh.. CD?
[08:47] <AndyCR> http://pfthemes.unlugar.com/HumanAzul2.tar.gz
[08:47] <Jowi> gizmo_the_great1, I guess bash.org is *not* what you're looking for. :D
[08:47] <AndyCR> though i prefer a lighter blue
[08:48] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: bo - i meant the hdd - cd reads so it is ok
[08:48] <simonvc> @srimants centrino stuff works good :-)
[08:48] <VBB> AndyCR: Ok
[08:48] <AndyCR> window border should have changed color automatically
[08:48] <shrimants> ok thank u, i'll install it and hope i dont screw stuff up lol
[08:48] <simonvc> @sirmants, best to boot off the live-cd and check
[08:48] <shrimants> yeah
[08:48] <shrimants> woah
[08:48] <shrimants> yeah
[08:48] <shrimants> thanks
[08:48] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: So 250 gig Seagate is enough information, or you need more?
[08:48] <mefisto> hi all
[08:49] <AndyCR> brb
[08:49] <mefisto> is there a way i can fix autocomplite in ubuntu
[08:49] <VBB> AndyCR: Thanks
[08:49] <mefisto> i hate that ubuntu thinks that is knows better then me what i can and what i cant play with mplayer
[08:49] <AndyCR> np
[08:49] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: i am wasting your time - i haven't a clue - your hardware sounds fine to me but there is something subtle i do not see... sorry
[08:49] <arricka> jrib-okay, then what next?
[08:49] <gopi> is there a more specialized place to get server/networking help?
[08:49] <VBB> AndyCR: Is it good for ubuntu to get the latest nvidia drivers ?
[08:49] <gizmo_the_great1> Jowi: mmm, perhaps not :-) thanks anyway
[08:49] <zwnj> updated firefox on breezy crashes a in the first 1 min
[08:49] <samalex> hey guys.  just installed ubuntu workstation, and it wont let me go any higher then 800x600.  suggestions?  My video card is a matrox g400 dual-head card,though I'm only using one monitor
[08:49] <jrib> arricka: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree   now says you have version 9?
[08:49] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: No problem. I sat here for 3 hours yesterday walking through various things. :-p.
[08:50] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: some directions to go - have you tried any other distro or release?
[08:50] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: disk is sata?
[08:50] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: sata might matter...
[08:50] <bilss_> hi
[08:50] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: Its the thin ribbon like cable...
[08:51] <VBB> AndyCR: Is it good for ubuntu to get the latest nvidia drivers ?
[08:51] <DigitalNinja> If I dd a drive does hat get everything including the MBR?
[08:51] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: Nope. I'm without a computer to download any other distro / release at the moment. My desktop HDD crashed, and so I was going to try to install Ubuntu on it, then my laptop HDD failed, it was still under warranty so it is at the shop. Live CD is my only form of access right now. >.<
[08:51] <arricka> jrib- I do not understand what that means
[08:51] <bilss_> does true crypt work useing apt-get in dapper6.06 ?
[08:51] <jrib> arricka: ok, open up a terminal, type this command and tell me the output:  apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | grep -i Installed
[08:51] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: it is sata - research if that machine with sata is known to work.  Tough without working machines :) :(
[08:52] <Cybercod> VBB   I've found nvidia's drivers to be excellent
[08:52] <VBB> ok
[08:52] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: will do
[08:52] <Cybercod> VBB   make sure your card is supported though
[08:52] <hungryhippo> anyone knowledgeable about dmraid and mounting RAID partitions? I need to access my WinXP drive (RAID 0) .... this worked under Dapper but seems to have broken in Edgy.
[08:52] <arricka> same as before Installed:7.0.25-5
[08:53] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: pls do let me know results - these mysteries need solving for everybody
[08:53] <jrib> arricka: ok do this:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[08:53] <AndyCR> ok, well dhclient is trying to send to 255.255.255.255, is that normal?
[08:53] <Cybercod> VBB on some older ones, youre better with open source.... but I installed nvidia drivers on a geforce2 mx and it did wonderful things
[08:53] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: i think it is right to suspect grub/boot stuff due to live cd working
[08:53] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: will do
[08:53] <Cybercod> as well as a geforce 4 ti
[08:53] <najjstroem0050> lol, how fun is it to download 49 mb on 10 kb/s
[08:53] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: adaptr and me pretty much confirmed it was GRUB last night
[08:53] <fokuslee> if test -f somefile; then =? if [ -f somefile ] ; then ??
[08:54] <AndyCR> because im connected on another machine running ubuntu just fine to the same router
[08:54] <AndyCR> so someting seems odd
[08:54] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: adaptr knows this stuff...
[08:54] <VBB> Cybercod: I've got a Nvidia GeForce 7800 GS Ultra
[08:54] <AndyCR> i tried using -s to route it to the ip of the router, but it still fails
[08:54] <M_Fatih> how can i spin-down a disk?
[08:54] <VBB> Cybercod: Is it still good for it? ^_^
[08:54] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: I figured that from talking to him, but we both had to go and so we stopped
[08:55] <h3xis> M_Fatih, why?
[08:55] <Cybercod> I imagine they support the hell out of that, but check their website to be sure
[08:55] <AndyCR> VBB: i believe its the only alternative for accelerated 3d on that new a card
[08:55] <AndyCR> i have a 7600gs and its supported
[08:55] <AndyCR> works fine
[08:55] <VBB> AndyCR: Ok
[08:55] <AndyCR> with latest 3d driver
[08:55] <arricka> jrib- okay, did that. it says that flashplugin-nonfree is already newest version
[08:55] <AndyCR> i believe its the same or similar chip with a lower clock
[08:55] <Cybercod> VBB...
[08:55] <M_Fatih> h3xis, i have a external hdd and when i want to eject disk, i must spin-down.. umount not enough..
[08:55] <AndyCR> so should work
[08:55] <jrib> arricka: then you have not added -backports
[08:55] <h3xis> M_Fatih, what happens if you "eject" it
[08:56] <jrib> arricka: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please
[08:56] <h3xis> M_Fatih, using the eject command
[08:56] <M_Fatih> h3xis, only umounting..
[08:56] <[A] ndy80> I cannot fix a problem with firefox multimedia plugins in (Firefox 2.0.0.1/Ubuntu 6.10). I did try totem-mozilla, mozilla-mplayer, gxineplugin. Neither of them work! With normal players I'm able to watch any kind of video (WMV, AVI ecc...) why Firefox doesn't work?
[08:56] <ciaran_> !Nvidia
[08:56] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:56] <arricka> jrib-what is that and where is it?
[08:56] <cld2> anyone running feisty ?
[08:56] <h3xis> M_Fatih, sudo eject /mount/point/location/for/it
[08:56] <M_Fatih> when i switch off hdd box, hdd poweroff with an ugly sound.. in windoz this is not happen..
[08:56] <AndyCR> andy, google the ubuntu forums for mplayer firefox, might help

[08:57] <[A] ndy80> AndyCR: I tried... no success.... all seem to have this problem
[08:57] <M_Fatih> h3xis, not enough mount.. because hdd disk has a adapter, not working only usb. power supplying from a adapter..
[08:57] <xtknight> how's everyone doing this afternoon
[08:57] <TruthElixirX> terrible
[08:57] <mnoir> cld2: that was a mess -ignore uri :)
[08:57] <TruthElixirX> :)
[08:57] <Cybercod> VBB a good automatic installer for nvidia drivers is called envy... its a debian package... works wonderfully.  google it... but run it from the tty or you'll not get anywhere with it... Terminal depends on X and it kills X right off the bat, essentially killing itself
[08:57] <h3xis> M_Fatih, what does "not enough mount" mean?
[08:57] <xtknight> this channel is full of people with linux problems! :p
[08:57] <AndyCR> is there any other command that might help me with getting wifi to work?

[09:00] <M_Fatih> fokuslee,  what is on at hdparm command?

[09:00] <M_Fatih> deafboy, i'm using phpmyadmin and gmysqlcc
[09:01] <deafboy> is navicat available for linux?
[09:01] <fokuslee> M_Faith man it i don't no much about hdparm
[09:01] <AndyCR> how do you set an ip manually?
[09:01] <deafboy> i <3 nvicat :)
[09:01] <najjstroem0050> deafboy yes it is
[09:01] <najjstroem0050> i have seen it
[09:01] <TruthElixirX> mnoir: I searched " HP PAvilion" on ubuntu forums. Almost every thread I see is related to problems with them and booting. >.<
[09:01] <AndyCR> so instead of using dhclient
[09:01] <deafboy> damn, I probably have to pay for tht....
[09:01] <M_Fatih> fokuslee, hmm ok i'm reading man pages and helps thanks for key..
[09:01] <AndyCR> i would assign thhe ip myself
[09:01] <xtknight> TruthElixirX: what issues are you having specifically?
[09:02] <najjstroem0050> deafboy 1 mouths trial and its dont even expires
[09:02] <mnoir> TruthElixirX: hmm - any solutions??
[09:02] <najjstroem0050> you just have to wait 10 more sec before u start it

[09:02] <gilnim> hehe
[09:02] <Xaphoo> Does anyone know how to restore the default Wine settings?  I changed something and it seems to have broken it, but I don't know what exactly I changed.
[09:02] <M_Fatih> is this split?
[09:03] <najjstroem0050> haha, then you havent seen when Bouncer networks dies at quakenet
[09:03] <gilnim> Xaphoo: Try to earase the wine folder in your home folder.
[09:03] <najjstroem0050> its awfull
[09:03] <arricka> jrib- "your browser does not understand how to provide the credentials required"
[09:03] <deafboy> najjstoem0050 are there cracks for linux lol?
[09:03] <gilnim> najjstroem0050: jep .... hilarious
[09:03] <Xaphoo> gil: but it has all of my windows programs there, etc... is there a way to just erase the settings?
[09:03] <jrib> arricka: well that's strange.  Try pastebin.ca
[09:03] <lilBeat> does automatix2 or easyubuntu adds function to deal with .ace, .rar, .7z to File Roller or not?

[09:04] <TruthElixirX> xtknight: It won't boot after installing
[09:04] <xtknight> TruthElixirX: what issues are you having specifically?
[09:04] <xtknight> sorry
[09:04] <gilnim> Xaphoo: Why don't you just run winecfg
[09:04] <arricka> jrib-that worked
[09:04] <xtknight> this is the second time ive gotten d/c
[09:04] <mnoir> AndyCR: to set a static ip, the simplest way i have found is to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:04] <xtknight> i'll wait until this place stabilizes
[09:05] <Xaphoo> gil: I have run winecfg, that's how I changed the settings to begin with... but it's hard to find the perfect settings.  The default ones were perfect, until I changed them in complicated ways that I can't remember
[09:05] <mnoir> AndyCR: and then restart networking
[09:05] <haxality> I'm about to reinstall and I want to save my gnome settings like my theme, panels, etc.
[09:05] <haxality> how would I back them up?
[09:05] <gilnim> !backup | Xaphoo

[09:05] <TruthElixirX> xtknight: that is all
[09:05] <Xaphoo> I know how to back up thank you

[09:06] <nixternal> jeesh
[09:06] <mnoir> haxality: just preserve a copy of your home directory
[09:06] <xtknight> grr
[09:06] <xtknight> haxality: possibly the ~/.gnome* folders
[09:06] <haxality> ok, cool3
[09:06] <haxality> minus the 3
[09:06] <haxality> I thought you guys were mandating people pass the security check for that exploit before they joined this channel

[09:07] <deafboy> would anyone know why xgl would randmly slow down?
[09:07] <xtknight> what exploit?

[09:07] <bluefox83> ok, new 6.06 installation, just booted up for the first time, and it's hung on the "loading hardware drivers" part of the bootup..how do i get around that?

[09:07] <haxality> PriceChild: I understand, believe me, just wanted to make sure someone was on top of it
[09:08] <PriceChild> haxality, the powers that be are well aware

[09:09] <gizmo_the_great1> Sorry as this is not entirely Ubuntu related but does anyone know of a URL that lists great quotes about the spirit of open-source software?
[09:09] <bluefox83> how about help on a new 6.06 installation?
[09:09] <Optikal__> Is there a program for linux that is like Crystal Reports?
[09:09] <deafboy> where should i install navicat, does it matter?
[09:09] <Cybercod> what does crystal reports do?
[09:09] <RandomDude16> http://24.27.206.206
[09:09] <RandomDude16> how do I make it where people can't see the mythweb folder?
[09:10] <mnoir> deafboy: probably in /opt
[09:10] <leobloom> hello, can I ask a stupid question?
[09:10] <jrib> arricka: ah, breezy does not have flash9 in the repositories.  You'll need to install it manually.  Grab it here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html and uninstall flashplugin-nonfree
[09:10] <najjstroem0050> xtknight
[09:10] <xtknight> najjstroem0050: yeah
[09:10] <najjstroem0050> can i turn the spellcheck off?
[09:10] <najjstroem0050> its annoying
[09:10] <Cybercod> !ask |leobloom
[09:10] <ubotu> leobloom: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:10] <xtknight> najjstroem0050: in which program?
[09:10] <najjstroem0050> becouse i use 2 speaks
[09:10] <bthornton> Is there a way to list all of the filesystems which are supported by a running kernel?
[09:10] <najjstroem0050> xtknight like Gaim
[09:10] <najjstroem0050> :P
[09:10] <PwndMopar> What would be an example of a .sh that runs something in another dir?
[09:10] <xtknight> bthornton: grep the config
[09:11] <najjstroem0050> i found it
[09:11] <najjstroem0050> dont worry about it
[09:11] <jrib> PwndMopar: cd /otherdirectory/; file  ?
[09:11] <xtknight> k
[09:11] <PwndMopar> It works out that way? :P
[09:11] <xtknight>  or /otherdirectory/file
[09:11] <emilio> un saluto da Emilio
[09:11] <bthornton> xtknight: dern, I don't want to grab the source...
[09:11] <PwndMopar> y ty <3
[09:12] <xtknight> bthornton: hmm.  what's the situation?
[09:12] <najjstroem0050> i must say that ubuntu is much more funnyer than freaking windows xp
[09:12] <bthornton> In that case, does anybody know if Ubuntu 6.10 supports any encrypted filesystems "out of the box" (i.e. with the default kernel)?
[09:12] <leobloom> I have a problem with bittorrent, I cheked it in the reopositories and download it , I think it has automatically been installed but I can't find it in the applications menu, where is it then?
[09:12] <hjmills> leobloom: if its the cli version it wont be in the menu
[09:12] <demreath> I need a help with printing system on ubuntu. Printing multiple pages on one sheet doesn't work. (i.e. from Evince) Any ideas?
[09:12] <bthornton> xtknight: I'm going to attempt to backup some user data to DVDs, but I would like the backup volumes to be encrypted.
[09:12] <samalex> dumb question, but what happened to /etc/inittab?  I've installed ubuntu and noticed it's not there.
[09:12] <bluefox83> how can i get ubuntu to not use a splash screen on bootup?
[09:13] <RandomDude16> Anyone?
[09:13] <xtknight> bthornton: archive the files and encrypt the archive possibly?
[09:13] <jrib> bluefox83: remove the splash option from your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <leobloom> what's a cli version?
[09:13] <demreath> bluefox83: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <bthornton> xtknight: yeah that might work, but I was going to see if I could do it at the filesystem level first
[09:13] <hjmills> RandomDude16: lots of blink182 in there
[09:14] <bluefox83> ok..well as it turnsn out i can't boot into the system all the way because it hangs at loading hardware drivers..and it's a fresh installation
[09:14] <demreath> bluefox83: find the line with the word "splash" and remove this word
[09:14] <bluefox83> *turns
[09:14] <OffHand> My sound stopped working... could anyone help me troubleshoot it?
[09:14] <hjmills> RandomDude16: oh :( - you were sane enuff to restrict access to ure music files before u gave the world a url leadingto lots of music
[09:14] <demreath> OffHand: check the mixer settings
[09:15] <unvs> i'm trying to make hellanzb.py run on startup - should i add it to init.d/ as usual, or does it need a different approach being a python script and all?
[09:15] <demreath> OffHand: OffHand "alsamixer"
[09:16] <OffHand> looks good
[09:16] <xtknight> bthornton: i dont think it's available in the kernel.  you may have to compile something yourself to support encrypted file systems
[09:17] <bthornton> xtknight: okay that's what I thought.  thanks!
[09:17] <OffHand> demreath: and it's not failing hardware because it works in xp
[09:17] <mnoir> !upstart | samalex ah - you noticed it was missing - replaced by:

[09:19] <samalex> why did they replace intittab?  Was this a Linux thing in general or just Ubuntu?
[09:19] <ciaran_> does anyone know what the next standard resolution is after 1024x768

[09:19] <xtknight> blanky: ubuntu runs on pretty much anything.  it's performance you should be worried about
[09:20] <blanky> xtknight: so you're saying it has no minimum requirements? I'd like to see them, that's all
[09:20] <xtknight> blanky: Xubuntu is better for low-end systems
[09:20] <blanky> xtknight: I know :)
[09:20] <hjmills> dare you to run "cat /dev/urandom"
[09:20] <Brady_M> Anyone, I need help with xconf I got an nvidia with dvi out on it, just updated the drivers to legacy, videos working, but I'd like the dual monitor option renabled. the system help files doesn't explain how to do it
[09:20] <xtknight> blanky: i dont know, maybe there are some on the site.  depends how you define minimum though
[09:21] <MrWooster> I am having trouble installing ubuntu on a dell inspiron 9400 - I have created the install disk with the latest version of ubuntu and checked the disk, when I boot up the install it shows a screen with the ubuntui logo and an orange status bar at the bottom, the bar moves for about 1 minute and then freezes, then the cd stops turning. Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks
[09:21] <blanky> Well, how any other one does, xubuntu shows their minimum requirements
[09:21] <hjmills> blanky: linux will run on almost anything - a vanilla ubuntu install using the ubiquity installer needs what is listed on the main website
[09:21] <OffHand> it's not muted demreath
[09:21] <eni191> Whats wrong when in ubuntu max resolution is 1024 (in WinXP I have 1280, in Ubuntu I cannot choose this)?
[09:21] <kharloss_> how long will take after "apt-get upgrade" on ubuntu 6.10 server ? i have aprox 128 kb/sec
[09:22] <xtknight> blanky: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/releasenotes/606   Table 1 Recommended Minimum Requirements
[09:22] <samalex> okay, i changed xorg.conf to what I thought my monitor needed to support 1024x768, and on reboot it choaked.  errored out and now just sitting at a blinking cursor.  it's not shell.  any ideas how to get to shell on reboot ?
[09:22] <xtknight> blanky: 6.06 should be very close to 6.10
[09:22] <blanky> xtknight: that's what I was just looking at haha
[09:22] <hjmills> eni191: you need to reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:22] <msandtorv> when trying to build wireless drivers I get an error because of a missing /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-server/build. When trying to make the symlink I realize that I don't have the source at all. What package should I apt-get install

[09:22] <xtknight> blanky: well what type of system do you have?
[09:22] <demreath> eni191: are you using any intel chipset?
[09:22] <blanky> IT's because, I want xubuntu's minimum requirements but using gnome
[09:22] <Brady_M> eni191: I fixed that issue by hitting F4 and change resolution to 800X600 then hit enter to begin the install
[09:22] <blanky> xtknight: something like a pentium 3 660 mhz, 192 mb ram
[09:23] <xtknight> blanky: i'd recommend xfce but gnome will run, slowly
[09:23] <eni191> Thank you guys, I will try reconfigure xserver-org
[09:23] <blanky> fine I'll just use xfce haha
[09:23] <blanky> thanks xtknight
[09:23] <demreath> eni191: maybe you need "855resolution" or "915resolution" package?
[09:23] <blanky> I'll just use nautilus, that's possible right?
[09:23] <blanky> xfce + nautilus
[09:23] <xtknight> blanky: its called uhh...i forget...but it's not nautilus :P
[09:23] <blanky> xtknight: I know they have a file browser, but I'm saying, can I use nautilus in xfce
[09:24] <xtknight> oh jesus its on the top of my tongue
[09:24] <blanky> I don't like xfce's
[09:24] <hjmills> blanky: that will load a load of gnome libs - just use thunar - its v similar in appearance
[09:24] <xtknight> yeah thunar
[09:24] <eni191> demreath, how can i check if i have intell chipset?
[09:24] <xtknight> you can use nautilus in xfce
[09:24] <hjmills> xtknight: :D
[09:24] <blanky> hjmills: that's what I was wondering, thanks
[09:24] <xtknight> if you have the gnome libs

[09:24] <joshua__> hey folks, I've got two 160g drives, the second I mostly use for storage (music and such) but I'm doing a new installation right now and wonder how people usually set up a drive that has /, /usr, /var, swap, and /home if a drive only allows 4 primary partitions?
[09:24] <demreath> eni191: lspci | grep Display
[09:25] <demreath> eni191: for me it's: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)
[09:25] <xtknight> why doesn't ubuntu use DDC/EDID to get the resolutions for a monitor?  it would solve a lot of the resolution problems
[09:25] <hjmills> joshua__: using extended partitions :D

[09:25] <eni191> demreath, yes intell
[09:25] <joshua__> hjmills: but for which partition?
[09:25] <hjmills> xtknight: is that what windows uses?
[09:25] <xtknight> hjmills: yeah
[09:25] <demreath> eni191: what exactly?

[09:26] <xtknight> hjmills: possibly.  i think the support is sort of in there but just isn't exposed to the user.  SUSE and such already do it
[09:26] <demreath> blanky: apt-get install mediawiki

[09:34] <hjmills> jeremit0: try sudo apt-get install automake1.8 for 1.8
[09:34] <AlexC_> apokryphos: that's a lot of banning :P

[09:37] <lskf-255> najjstroem0050, what's that, mirc for Linux?

[09:38] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: my HP photosmart works perfect, out of box - better than Windows!
[09:38] <cypherdelic> ikedaman, they dont work for linux
[09:38] <hendrickvp> root@ncyou:~# sudo apt-get install php5-imagick
[09:38] <hendrickvp> Reading package lists... Done
[09:38] <hendrickvp> Building dependency tree... Done
[09:38] <hendrickvp> E: Couldn't find package php5-imagick
[09:38] <eni191> What is  php designer for ubuntu like phpdesigner2006 for WinXP?
[09:38] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: all I did was go to add printer, select the driver and that's it, done.
[09:38] <ikonia_> hendrickvp are you a moron on or something ???
[09:38] <ikonia_> you've been told to check if it exists - or if thats the irght name
[09:38] <jeremit0> hmills: I'll try the build-essentials package
[09:38] <apokryphos> ikonia_: please be kind
[09:38] <najjstroem0050> lskf-255 its mirc for windows
[09:38] <ikonia_> apokryphos how many times do you have to say it though
[09:38] <hendrickvp> any ideas?
[09:38] <cypherdelic> ikonia_,  i need to CLONE my monitor not to doublezize my desktop Width, are you sure Xinera is ok for that?
[09:38] <blueprints88888> AlexC: is that under SYstem somewhere???
[09:39] <ikonia_> hendrickvp search for th epackage
[09:39] <jeremit0> hjmills: I'm still new to ubuntu (but familiar with linux) so it might take awhile
[09:39] <jeremit0> hjmills: thanks
[09:39] <ikonia_> cypherdelic yup - that will work too but you don't ned it
[09:39] <gma> blueprints88888: yes
[09:39] <Jowi> !xinerama
[09:39] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo
[09:39] <hendrickvp> ikonia: new to ubuntu how do I do that?
[09:39] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: System->Administration->Printers
[09:39] <gma> blueprints88888: System->Administration
[09:39] <sioux> hey who use skypecast on linux?
[09:39] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: Printing, even
[09:39] <ikonia_> hendrickvp you've been told 3 times
[09:39] <cypherdelic> ikonia_, what will work?
[09:39] <lskf-255> najjstroem0050, it's running through wine?
[09:39] <najjstroem0050> yes
[09:39] <blueprints88888> ok thanx you guysi will go try that right now
[09:39] <ikonia_> read http://www.ubuntu.com hendrickvp
[09:39] <ikonia_> cypherdelic yes
[09:40] <cypherdelic> ubotu, i dont want one big monitor
[09:40] <ikonia_> cypherdelic but you don't need it
[09:40] <apokryphos> ubotu: paste | hendrickvp
[09:40] <ubotu> hendrickvp: 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)
[09:40] <cypherdelic> i want two times the SAME monitor
[09:40] <najjstroem0050> hjmills, where did you go?
[09:40] <cypherdelic> ubotu, ikonia_ i want two times the SAME monitor
[09:40] <hendrickvp> k
[09:40] <ikonia_> cypherdelic you just need to configure a second display/screen in xorg - I know you want 2 monitors - you've said it 5 times
[09:40] <Phoenix87> hallo
[09:40] <MrWooster> I am having trouble installing ubuntu on a dell inspiron 9400 - I have created the install disk with the latest version of ubuntu and checked the disk, when I boot up the install it shows a screen with the ubuntui logo and an orange status bar at the bottom, the bar moves for about 1 minute and then freezes, then the cd stops turning. Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks
[09:41] <AlexC_> ikonia_: yeah but there is a difference between Cloned displays and just one big display,
[09:41] <Jowi> cyphase, look at that xinerama link. there's an option that's called Clone. it can be on or off. might be what you're looking for...
[09:41] <ikonia_> AlexC_ yes I know this
[09:41] <ikonia_> hence why I've said you CAN use xinerma to have 2 displays or you can simpley clone using xorg
[09:41] <AlexC_> MrWooster: I had this problem, are you running a Core 2 Duo with a motherboard that as JMIcron?
[09:41] <cypherdelic> ikonia_,  and how to tell X to use both of these monitores at the same time for using the same desktop in different resolutions??
[09:41] <blueprints88888> I dont think they have any drivers for the A series, its a Hp Photosmart A717?
[09:41] <AlexC_> s/as/has
[09:42] <cypherdelic> ikonia_,  i tired twinview, that sucked
[09:42] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: if it's not in the list, then probably not. but just try another random HP Driver....sometimes it works,
[09:42] <jadacyrus> everytime i gksudo nautilus, my background changes to the "root" background and things get all wierd, like im completely logged in with root. ??
[09:42] <bluefox83> ok, what is in charge of handling module loading? i am having to build my girlfriend's system via ssh...
[09:42] <joshua__> how does the installer partition a drive if you tell it to just erase the entire drive?
[09:42] <ikonia_> cypherdelic define another device for your video cards second out put - then define another screen with your second monitor properties then define a layout that uses the 2 screen definifations
[09:42] <AlexC_> jadacyrus: that's because it's using Roots theme preferences
[09:42] <MrWooster> i think so
[09:42] <bluefox83> what package holds the stuff that runs lsmod?
[09:42] <blueprints88888> ok i will try that
[09:42] <jadacyrus> AlexC_: is there a way to get rid of that
[09:42] <ikonia_> bluefox83 module-init-utils
[09:43] <MrWooster> AlexC_: i think so
[09:43] <Jowi> jadacyrus, try "nautilus --no-desktop"
[09:43] <jadacyrus> Jowi: ah okay
[09:43] <juano> anyone help me with audacious? when i play a cd everything seems fine except theres no volume!
[09:43] <cypherdelic> ikonia_, layout? is there a manual??
[09:43] <cypherdelic> im n00b at X.org
[09:43] <leal_> hello
[09:43] <black_13> is anyone here familiar with using keychain?
[09:43] <ikonia_> cypherdelic yup - x.org has some basic docs
[09:43] <leal_> do you know a howto to make a graphical initialization on LTS?
[09:43] <PikAss> hello
[09:43] <HymnToLife> !anyone | black_13
[09:43] <ubotu> black_13: 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?
[09:43] <cypherdelic> ikonia_, i simply want to conenct a beamer AND see stuff on the notebook LCD TOO
[09:43] <AlexC_> jadacyrus: if you do "sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes" and "sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root/.icons" and "sudo ln -s ~/.fonts /root/.fonts" that should work
[09:44] <jadacyrus> Jowi: cool that works but is tehre any way to get back to normal once it already happened?
[09:44] <juano> !audicious
[09:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audicious - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:44] <dromer> what kind of libsdl do I need for FretsOnFire?  http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/
[09:44] <juano> anyone help me with audacious? when i play a cd everything seems fine except theres no volume!
[09:44] <AlexC_> MrWooster: Ok, could be tricky. Let me get a link,
[09:44] <Jowi> jadacyrus, no idea
[09:44] <jadacyrus> AlexC: ah okay thx
[09:44] <blueprints88888> AlexC: THANX i think it worked,i tried a test page and the printer started to but the page was too small so ima try a real picture
[09:44] <MrWooster> alexc_: thanks
[09:44] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: cool, glad it's working ok =)
[09:44] <mrfunyon> anyone know how to get ac97 codec's working? I have tried to search for it with no luck :(
[09:45] <leal_> anybody???
[09:45] <black_13> HymnToLife could you help me setting up keychain
[09:45] <joshua__> how does the installer partition a drive if you tell it to just erase the entire drive?
[09:45] <math_> ac97 audio?
[09:45] <mrfunyon> yes
[09:45] <ikonia_> joshua__ try it - or read up on it
[09:45] <math_> mrfunyon: you have no sound?
[09:45] <HymnToLife> joshua__, it should show you how it will partition it for confirmation
[09:45] <mrfunyon> yes, I have no sound
[09:45] <kazuka> does anyone know where i can find libdvdcss2 for ubuntu?
[09:45] <HymnToLife> black_13, nope, sorry
[09:45] <ikonia_> kazuka search the wiki for restricted formats
[09:45] <HymnToLife> !dvd | kazuka
[09:45] <ubotu> kazuka: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[09:46] <math_> mrfunyon: strange, I've got ac97 sound, but it works here...
[09:46] <hydroxC> Hey, I'm having trouble with my computer, it's a Pentium D, 3.4ghz, 1gb of ram computer. It gets to "ok.. booting kernel" on the install disk and freezes at that point..
[09:46] <DigitalNinja> Does anyone know if the 4 x Intel 82551 ER 10/100 Ethernet Controller is supported?
[09:46] <black_13> HymnToLife i think i will ask anybody then
[09:46] <IamEthos> is there a way to upgrade Ubuntu to later versions without downloading a new CD?
[09:46] <mrfunyon> I just installed ubuntu yesterday and everything but the sound works just fine :(
[09:46] <juano> anyone help me with audacious? when i play a cd everything seems fine except theres no volume!
[09:46] <lskf-255> joshua, it's like 550megs boot/ 3 gigs root and swap is everything else.
[09:46] <hydroxC> IamEthos, use dist-upgrade
[09:47] <adaptr> hydroxC: try adding "noapic nolapic" at the end of the kernel line.. you'll have to edit the boot menu
[09:47] <AlexC_> MrWooster: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core_2_Duo_Support
[09:47] <IamEthos> hydroxC, is that available as far back as breezy?
[09:47] <AndyCR> i cant get wifi to work in ubuntu, it works in other distros, and when I try to do sudo iwlist eth3 scan is says no scan results
[09:47] <chazco> can anyone help me with nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 6.10. I installed them earlier after a reinstall, but it broke Truecrypt. I've now reinstalled Ubuntu and was wondering what the best way forward is?
[09:47] <leal_> no graphic boot on ubuntu?
[09:47] <adaptr> hydroxC: which CD have you got ?
[09:47] <hydroxC> IamEthos, Not sure, Try it out
[09:47] <Math^> mrfunyon: strange... I've got only problems playing some old games
[09:47] <MrWooster> alexc_: thanks
[09:47] <hydroxC> adaptr, 6.06
[09:47] <HymnToLife> black_13, maybe it would be better to ask your _real_ question instead of "can anyone help me ?"
[09:47] <raboof_> hi. i'm trying to use obex to send a file from my ubuntu box to my nokia phone.
[09:47] <raboof_> "obexftp -v -B 10 -b 00:12:37:3C:36:73 -p Media/HOP\ SS\ ringtone.mp3" makes an 'allow connection?' popup appear at my phone's screen, and obexftp appears to be sending a file, but nothing arrives at the phone
[09:47] <adaptr> hydroxC: there are 6 different 6.06 CDs....
[09:47] <hydroxC> adaptr, I'll go try your first suggestion, BRB
[09:47] <raboof_> any ideas?
[09:48] <AlexC_> MrWooster: I had an Abit AB9 .... after about 4 weeks of getting it to work, I gave up and brought a new motherboard. I emailed JMicron and they insisted the issue was fixed, but it's not. So, you may not even be able to install Ubuntu - but check out that link first.
[09:48] <hydroxC> adaptr, oh, haha, sorry, erm, 6.06, regular, x86 ?
[09:48] <mrfunyon> it's a headless machine that basicly I am using as a file server, so I am not certain if it's just the way that it was installed or whatnot.
[09:48] <jeremit0> does anyone know how to install build-essential without apt-get?
[09:48] <adaptr> hydroxC: okay, try that first
[09:48] <tobyr> Hey guys
[09:48] <darrell> any help for a neomagic 256av video
[09:48] <lskf-255> chazco, install the binary drivers for NVidia
[09:48] <apokryphos> jeremit0: yes, with synaptic
[09:48] <HymnToLife> jeremit0, why don't you want to use apt-get ?
[09:48] <blueprints88888> AlexC: what should i do ,it keeps on saying the paper is too small,and i changed the size to 4x6,should i try another driver?
[09:48] <dromer> so, what kind of libsdl do I need for FretsOnFire?  http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/
[09:48] <black_13> i want to not have to enter password every time i used subversion with ssh
[09:48] <Math^> mrfunyon: wich installer you have used?
[09:48] <tobyr> I'm running Ubuntu, can I install Xubuntu as well? I want to try XFCE
[09:48] <jeremit0> HymnToLife: I don't have network connection yet
[09:48] <AlexC_> blueprints88888: yes, try another.
[09:48] <MrWooster> alexc_: Ok will check it out. If it does not work does this mean that I wont be able to install any version of linux or just ubuntu? Thanks for the help
[09:48] <jeremit0> aprok: what is synaptic?
[09:48] <harry_> ah the bliss of a working IRC
[09:48] <chazco> binarys? i used the repository i think
[09:48] <blueprints88888> k
[09:48] <lskf-255> (my recommendation)
[09:49] <HymnToLife> jeremit0, you can apt-get it from your CD
[09:49] <harry_> !synaptic | jeremit0
[09:49] <ubotu> jeremit0: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[09:49] <PikAss> have anybody here OpenBox?
[09:49] <dromer> tobyr: just install xfce and you can choose your wm during login
[09:49] <tobyr> Ah ok
[09:49] <jamesbrose> How can can I change the "The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;" when I login via ssh?
[09:49] <mnoir> jeremit0: without a net connection, how are you gonna get the package?
[09:49] <tobyr> Can I get them through apt-get?
[09:49] <lskf-255> chazco, you are aiming to install Beryl aren't you?
[09:49] <HymnToLife> jamesbrose, edit /Etc/motd
[09:49] <mrfunyon> Math^: the first one (I think it was dekstop), then I installed all the stuff I needed it to be a file server
[09:49] <HymnToLife> etc*
[09:49] <jeremit0> mnoir: I can get the package using a different machine and put it on a thumb drive
[09:49] <tobyr> sudo apt-get install xfce?
[09:49] <AlexC_> MrWooster: I tried 4 other distro's and they didn't work either. Do you have a spare CD drive you could use? I remember using a difference CD DRive and I manged to install Ubuntu, but with my original CD Drive I could not
[09:49] <mrfunyon> it's the Dapper Drake release
[09:49] <jeremit0> HymnToLife:  How can I apt-get from my CD?
[09:49] <mend> hi
[09:50] <Math^> mrfunyon: I use the alternate CD
[09:50] <MrWooster> alexc_: ok will check it out - thanks
[09:50] <dromer> anybody know what libsdl I need for FretsOnFire to work properly? (the screen hangs alot during play)
[09:50] <AlexC_> hi mend
[09:50] <HymnToLife> jeremit0, sudo apt-cdrom add, insert your CD, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:50] <mend> i would like to enable language switching in ubuntu, can anyone tell me how to do it?
[09:50] <beubuntu> dose any one have a ati radeon 9550 with stable drivers working on there computer
[09:50] <chazco> i have a nVidia geforce FX 5200. Previosuly i was using Kubuntu and installing them boosted speed a lot. I'm now using gnome on Ubuntu but it seems slower than KDE...
[09:50] <harry_> who can kick people in here?
[09:50] <mrfunyon> Math^: So you would suggest re-installing the machine?
[09:51] <harry_> just i never quit as my laptop went down so i now cant use my nick
[09:51] <mend> now i can only type english, i would like to enable other languages too
[09:51] <grndslm> could somebody help me upgrade alsa...i wouldn't even know where to begin
[09:51] <mend> hi AlexC_
[09:51] <Math^> mrfunyon: well, no... not nesecary I gues... but I use the alternateCD and have no problems, you've installed the server-installer?
[09:51] <harry_> so if anyone could kick hjmills i would be greatful
[09:51] <HymnToLife> harry_, ask ubotu in private about !ops
[09:51] <harry_> HymnToLife, thanks
[09:52] <mrfunyon> no, the desktop, then installed all the server stuff (Was going to install the server but pressed the wrong button and just stuck with it)
[09:52] <chazco> does anyone know why Gnome would be slower than KDE? Is it likely to be the lack of nvidia drivers (im on Edgy btw)
[09:52] <Gosha> .. how do i delete a file in terminal? O_o
[09:52] <HymnToLife> Gosha, rm
[09:52] <Gosha> kay
[09:52] <hydroxC> adaptr, Nope, still the same
[09:52] <lskf-255> chazco, I have Edgy with nvidia 5600 FX and use the binary driver 9746 from nvidia.com
[09:52] <AlexC_> mend: System->Administration->Language support?
[09:52] <sharperguy> is there a quick way to change the file extension of all the files in a folder to a new one?
[09:52] <harry_> apokryphos, Would you please be able to kick hjmills as it didnt exit cleanly when my lappy lost power and now i cant login as me
[09:52] <AlexC_> Gosha: rm
[09:52] <Gosha> .. how do i delete a directory then? XD
[09:52] <ikonia_> chazco the X server uses the video drivers - not the desktop
[09:52] <ikonia_> Gohsa man rm
[09:52] <AlexC_> Gosha: rm -r
[09:52] <Gosha> kay
[09:52] <mend> there is language selector
[09:53] <AlexC_> I think :P
[09:53] <tobyr> Ok so if I'm running Ubuntu Edgy and want to try Xubuntu, what do I need to install?
[09:53] <dromer> hmmm, can't find out if libsdl is what is making FOF run so crappy :/
[09:53] <beubuntu> no  one with redaon 9550 ??
[09:53] <HymnToLife> Gosha, rm -r
[09:53] <apokryphos> harry_: if he's your user then use ghost
[09:53] <apokryphos> !ghost | harry_
[09:53] <ubotu> harry_: On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>
[09:53] <chazco> i understand, but last time it made a massive boost in speed
[09:53] <AlexC_> tobyr: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[09:53] <Math^> mrfunyon: I mean... I've installed the server-installer ones, then I installed ubuntu-desktop... I thought everything works/looks fine... but there were also no sound
[09:53] <HymnToLife> and rm -rf if it is not empty
[09:53] <mend> AlexC_
[09:53] <chazco> its driving 1440x900 if that matters
[09:53] <tobyr> Thanks
[09:53] <mend> AlexC_ language selector didn't help much
[09:53] <sharperguy> harry_, you can use /msg nickserv ghost <nick> <password>
[09:53] <tobyr> How would I go back to GNOME if I don't like it?
[09:53] <harry_> sharperguy and apokryphos thanks :D
[09:54] <AlexC_> tobyr: sudo aptitude -remove xubuntu-desktop
[09:54] <chazco> does the binary package change the kernel in anyway? last time it broke truecrypts ability to insmod
[09:54] <tobyr> There's no place where I can flick between the two?
[09:54] <AlexC_> tobyr: yes, when you go to login you can change the session to XFCE
[09:54] <mrfunyon> Math^: hrm.... could try re-installing the machine, wouldn't take long, do you think it would fix my problem?
[09:54] <tobyr> Ah
[09:54] <ikonia_> chazco if you use the one from the repo - it is fine as its a precompiled module. If you download your own - you can break it
[09:54] <tobyr> Thankyou
[09:54] <AlexC_> tobyr: or Gnome, what ever you feel like =)
[09:54] <hjmills> tobyr, there is - ah - AlexC beat me to it :D
[09:54] <Gosha> .. i accidently created a folder inside a folder that doesn't exist .. how do i delete it?
[09:55] <tobyr> It's just Ubuntu is quite slow for me
[09:55] <ikonia_> Gosha man rm
[09:55] <chazco> ikonia: i used the one from the repo, but truecrypt suddently stopped working
[09:55] <ikonia_> Gosha you've been rold
[09:55] <ikonia_> told
[09:55] <chazco> nothing else had chanegd
[09:55] <tobyr> I'm running 1,7Ghz P4, 32MB Geforce 420 Go, and 256 RAM
[09:55] <hjmills> Gosha, neat trick - how did you do it?
[09:55] <ikonia_> chazco nothing to do with nvidia
[09:55] <tobyr> Bloody slow :(
[09:55] <Gosha> .. no idea
[09:55] <Math^> mrfunyon: maybe you should ask someone else, most time when I'm here, I've got also problems/questions...
[09:55] <AlexC_> Gosha: in terminal type "man rm"
[09:55] <chazco> nothing else had changed... working one minute, next it couldnt insmod
[09:55] <ikonia_> Gosha  man rm
[09:55] <mrfunyon> Math^: okey dokey :)
[09:55] <ikonia_> chazco whats the error
[09:55] <Math^> mrfunyon: hope you will figured it out :)
[09:56] <Gosha> or wait, i do know- i did a svn checkup in a directory i had deleted but still had opened in a terminal
[09:56] <hjmills> Gosha, cos thats impossible but to delete stuff do what ikonia_ and AlexC_ are telling you
[09:56] <chazco> something about being unable to insmod. But on a fresh install it works fine
[09:56] <ikonia_> he can do an svn checkout....but can't remove a folder ???
[09:56] <theflyingfool> does ext4 work with ubuntu?
[09:56] <hjmills> Gosha, try remaking the dir that dont exist and removing the whole lot recursively
[09:56] <ikonia_> chazco tell me the exact error
[09:56] <mrfunyon> does anyone else have problems with the ac97 audio... My computer won't play any sound and it's frusturating :(
[09:56] <Gosha> huh?
[09:56] <ikonia_> Something about blah - is not helpful
[09:56] <hjmills> ikonia_, im impressed too
[09:56] <Gosha> oh
[09:56] <chazco> i cant get it, i had to reinstall
[09:57] <jclark4> libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
[09:57] <ikonia_> chazco so no point disscussing it
[09:57] <jclark4> looking for it
[09:57] <jclark4> what pkg is that in?
[09:57] <chazco> im just a bit surprised that gnome is being slower than KDE
[09:57] <AlexC_> Gosha: read. sudo rm -dfr /path/to/non-existant/directory    may work, I think ... not sure
[09:57] <Gosha> .. ooops .. now i cant even see it anymore anywhere
[09:57] <lupine_85> gnome is always slower than kde :p
[09:57] <ikonia_> chazco probably just your perfeption
[09:57] <sharperguy> is it possible to use mv to rename all the file extensions of files in a folder to a different file extension? I guess it would start with "mv *" but then what?
[09:57] <ikonia_> perception
[09:57] <cld2> anyone know what beagled-helper is? its using like 80% of my cpu
[09:57] <lupine_85> cld2: a search engine thing
[09:57] <ikonia_> sharperguy you need a loop
[09:57] <tempest130> Hey everybody
[09:57] <lupine_85> feel free to kill it
[09:58] <cld2> lupine_85: I didnt know I had it. installed by default?
[09:58] <AlexC_> cld2: you could kill it? killall beagled-helper
[09:58] <LathropWells> Will the update to World of Warcraft's UI make it playable in Ubuntu?  Font corruption was a difficulty in the past.
[09:58] <lupine_85> cld2: not many people do :/
[09:58] <AlexC_> LathropWells: try it and see.
[09:58] <Gosha> .... hmm, maybe it didn't actually put the files there .. but it looked like they were there .. geez, truoblesome
[09:58] <ikonia_> LathropWells no
[09:58] <chazco> hmm, im not sure. I moved from Breezy Kubuntu to Edgy Ubuntu (on the grounds that my old install had broken and i fancied a change)
[09:58] <lupine_85> it's a piece of, ahem, junk TBH
[09:58] <FifaFrazer> A question for LyX users:   How do I change the footer to show "page X of Y" instead of just "X" ?
[09:58] <xtknight> !fixres
[09:58] <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
[09:58] <sharperguy> ikonia_, could you maybe help me with it?
[09:58] <AlexC_> Bye!
[09:58] <LathropWells> AlexC - yeah - Thanks for that. :)
[09:58] <cld2> AlexC_: thanks
[09:58] <cld2> lupine_85: thanks
[09:58] <ikonia_> sharperguy sory no
[09:58] <cld2> how do Ikeep it from running? just remove it?
[09:58] <ikonia_> sharperguy too busy to do shell scripting lessons
[09:58] <ikonia_> sorry
[09:59] <lupine_85> you should be able to stop it in the services panel
[09:59] <lupine_85> failing that, remove it's symlink in /etc/rc2.d
[09:59] <cld2> lupine_85: thanks.
[09:59] <LathropWells> Ikonia - I appreciate your help and support. Opensource is the future. :)
[09:59] <sharperguy> ikonia_, just need to rename all files in the folder from .chk to .mp3 because for some reason windows messed everything up
[09:59] <ikonia_> LathropWells sorry - not sure what I helped with

[10:00] <sharperguy> ikonia_, cheers
[10:00] <tempest130> Does anyone got Ubuntu 6.1 running on a dell laptop?
[10:00] <hjmills> anybody got a good tutorial for getting rsync working to backup my main pc over the network daily starting the job from the other pc?

[10:00] <Beverage> Hello, Im trying to install NX remote sessioning software and I have installed everything correctly I am having trouble starting the server the guide i was using did not give me any commands I figured it would autostart
[10:00] <ikonia_> hjmills yeah hang on
[10:00] <ikonia_> think I have one
[10:00] <blueprints88888> i guess no luck, the only thing i can really change is the model not the driver...is there anway to add the driver to the list?
[10:00] <tempest130> hel cld2. How's your power managerment?
[10:01] <hjmills> ikonia_, oh brilliant - thanks
[10:01] <cld2> tempest130: ? im using the gnome-power thing but I just got a recalled battery also. my battery was sucking.
[10:01] <tempest130> Ok. cld2, I"m trying to fix a suspend issue
[10:01] <ikonia_> hjmills can't find the one I was going to suggest, but this one is in my URL history and has 3 stars next to it http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
[10:02] <hjmills> ikonia_, thats great  - thanks
[10:02] <tempest130> been trying to forums with no luck
[10:02] <YCwestiwnMawr> Hey. When I boot up, Ubuntu checks eth1, eth2,,, but it always finds "no such device" - cos there's only an eth0. Can I speed up my bootup by stopping the excess device checks, perhaps by commenting out a few lines in a file somewhere?
[10:02] <chazco> this is what i did to install
[10:02] <chazco> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[10:02] <chazco> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[10:02] <ikonia_> hjmills not really got any personal comments on that link though
[10:02] <cld2> tempest130: oh, I dont use suspend
[10:02] <sharperguy> ikonia_, didn't work :(
[10:02] <Delux_247> ok, anyone here viewing youtube with firefox?  how did you get the shockwave v9 to install?
[10:02] <Delux_247> I got v7 - and it don't work
[10:02] <Delux_247> same with google.vodei
[10:02] <Delux_247> video*
[10:02] <ikonia_> sharperguy did it give an error
[10:02] <sharperguy> ikonia_, mv: target `*.mp3' is not a directory
[10:03] <unop> YCwestiwnMawr, check the /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/iftab files
[10:03] <tempest130> when cld2, when I close my lid it suspends, when I open my lid. it resumes.  after that I can't suspend
[10:03] <ikonia_> sharperguy do you have directories in there ?
[10:03] <sharperguy> ikonia_, nope
[10:03] <YCwestiwnMawr> will do. Thanks.
[10:03] <AndyCR> well, now i removed the ndiswrapper, and installed the one that comes on the cd, ndiswrapper-utils, and now when i sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it says Error inserting ndiswrapper ........... invalid arghument
[10:03] <unop> AndyCR, is ndiswrapper installed?
[10:03] <AndyCR> yes
[10:03] <chazco> according to apt-get installing nvidia that way _does_ download a new kernel image
[10:03] <unop> Delux_247, did you mean flash 9?
[10:04] <Delux_247> ok, anyone here viewing youtube with firefox?  how did you get the shockwave v9 to install?   I got v7 - and it don't work
[10:04] <ikonia_> chazco it just downloads a kernel module
[10:04] <Delux_247> yes, soprry, flash 9
[10:04] <jrib> !flash9 | Delux_247
[10:04] <AndyCR> its installed, and i can do for instance sudo ndiswrapper -l and it shows my wifi adapter and says driver installed, hardware present
[10:04] <ubotu> Delux_247: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports
[10:04] <unop> andy101, well, that error means the module could not be found in the source tree .. so double check if the package is installed
[10:04] <chazco> ikonia_ : The following NEW packages will be installed:
[10:04] <chazco>   linux-image-2.6.17-10-386 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386 nvidia-glx
[10:04] <chazco>  = isnt that an image?
[10:04] <Delux_247> !backports
[10:04] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[10:04] <ikonia_> chazco thats just the latest image in the repo
[10:04] <AndyCR> unop: which package? ndiswrapper-utils?
[10:04] <bruenig> Delux_247, copy and paste into terminal: wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[10:05] <unop> !info ndiswrapper edgy
[10:05] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper does not exist in edgy
[10:05] <unop> !info ndiswrapper
[10:05] <[set] > is there a games source dep for ubuntu?
[10:05] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper does not exist in any distro I know
[10:05] <AndyCR> yes, i installed it
[10:05] <chazco> is it possible for me to undo this if it goes wrong?
[10:05] <Delux_247> bruenig: ah, you're da best! thanks
[10:05] <ikonia_> just remove the package
[10:05] <AndyCR> !info ndiswrapper-utils
[10:05] <ubotu> ndiswrapper-utils: Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1-5 (edgy), package size 8 kB, installed size 48 kB
[10:05] <chazco> including the kernel ones? i tried removing just the nvidia ones first time round and it didint work
[10:06] <AndyCR> ndiswrapper comes installed by default in edgy's kernel
[10:06] <ikonia_> you can't remove a running kernel
[10:06] <AndyCR> just not the userspace tools
[10:06] <ikonia_> you need to install an additional one
[10:06] <Surfnkid> hi, is there a console player like amarok?
[10:06] <juxhi> hello
[10:06] <Surfnkid> without all the memory boggling of amarok
[10:06] <jobo> I'm installing on a machine with 128mb ram which seem to be too little to get the installation running.. It starts up gnome but doesnt finish. Is there a way to install it without gnome?
[10:06] <blueprints88888> help
[10:06] <chazco> well, im following the instructions from here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29
[10:06] <ikonia_> jobo  use the alt cd
[10:06] <bruenig> jobo, you can use xubuntu or you can use alternate cd
[10:06] <theflyingfool> how do i know if i should use the linux-resticted-modules 386 or generic
[10:06] <unop> AndyCR, errm, well verify if the kernel module exists --- locate ndis | grep -i .ko
[10:06] <ikonia_> chazco how do that change the fact that you can't uninstall a running kernel
[10:07] <bruenig> !generic
[10:07] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[10:07] <ikonia_> listen to whats being said to you
[10:07] <jobo> Ok, I'll check the alt cd
[10:07] <juxhi> how do i make linux-wlan-ng work with my card
[10:07] <chazco> no idea, but im still worried - it was all that changed last time and yet truecrypt stopped working
[10:07] <ikonia_> chazco then don't install it
[10:07] <AndyCR> yep, its there
[10:07] <chazco> too late, already started :D
[10:07] <sharperguy> !alternate | jobo
[10:07] <ubotu> jobo: 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.
[10:07] <ikonia_> if you read like you listen - you'll have problems
[10:08] <zybreak> Hi, i need some help mounting a NFS share with the "connect to server" frontend
[10:08] <chazco> it installed fine last time, just a side effect
[10:08] <ikonia_> zybreak select nfs from the list and youre good to go
[10:08] <jobo> sharperguy, thanks
[10:08] <zybreak> There's no NFS option in the dropdown list, why is that?
[10:08] <ikonia_> zybreak no nfs client installed
[10:08] <mztriz> what happened to the w32codecs I cannot find them anywhere, all of the links are broken...
[10:08] <zybreak> ikonia_: but i can mount the share manually.

[10:09] <ikonia_> zybreak how strange
[10:09] <zybreak> ikonia_: this is very strange. is it a certain NFS package i might be missing
[10:09] <AndyCR> unop: its in /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiwrapper/ndiswrapper.ko
[10:09] <mztriz> ubotu, I've looked there, those links are broken in the articles.
[10:09] <chazco> i downloaded it a few minutes ago, link should be fine
[10:09] <unop> AndyCR, ok, what was the exact command you were using to load it?
[10:09] <AndyCR> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

[10:10] <ikonia_> chazco why did you get that from debian ?
[10:10] <ikonia_> why not use the ones in the repo
[10:10] <chazco> it was linked on the wiki
[10:10] <Juice^> AndyCR, nvidia geforce 7800gt
[10:10] <ikonia_> really ?
[10:10] <chazco> w32codecs is in the repo? i couldnt find it on breezy when i tried (all were enabled)
[10:10] <AndyCR> Juice^: I think you need to install the nvidia drivers
[10:10] <besfred> how do i set a daemon to be started automatically in the standard runlevel with the new upstart script? do i have to create the Kxx and Sxx links manually, or is there a utility that does this for me?
[10:10] <KaljuL> how to see xvid
[10:10] <AndyCR> !nvidia
[10:10] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:11] <Juice^> AndyCR, done that already
[10:11] <mztriz> chazco, you got the deb for w32codecs there...?
[10:11] <AndyCR> oh. hmm. ill let someone else try then, sorry
[10:11] <chazco> yes, using it atm
[10:11] <chazco> its playing a wmv fine, so i guess it worked
[10:11] <mztriz> chazco, in edgy?
[10:11] <chazco> yes, im edgy
[10:11] <AndyCR> unop: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[10:11] <Juice^> AndyCR, it also shows in the start menu, system tools -> nvidia settings
[10:12] <juano> why cant i see the .cda files when i enter Storage media and then cdrom0??
[10:12] <mztriz> Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:12] <mztriz> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:12] <mztriz> is only available from another source
[10:12] <bsdlogical> has anyone else noticed weird things going on with the Community page on www.ubuntu.com?

[10:16] <AndyCR> unop: i have it
[10:16] <Red-Sox> Uhm, I'm having some problems with an install of Ubuntu, it freezes at the install screen
[10:16] <Surfnkid> cld2, let me try n see :)
[10:16] <Red-Sox> So I'm on the Live CD and I need to rescue some data from that!
[10:16] <d00d> hellas
[10:16] <chazco> it should be 1440x900, it appears to be 1440x1024
[10:16] <Oncer> Can anyone help me?
[10:17] <Red-Sox> But I can't mount the drive :(
[10:17] <Oncer> Please?
[10:17] <Oncer> I need help connecting to my LAN. My drivers are working thanks to ndiswrapper, it also shows that the network can be found. It just won't connect. I've tried the admin panel and wifi-radar, I just don't know what to do.
[10:17] <d00d> i need some help in grub
[10:17] <Juice^> unop: also the installed nvidia driver shows the adapter info when i run the nvidia settings tool
[10:17] <unop> AndyCR, errm, dont trust automatix .. it's rubbish
[10:17] <llamas> IN packages can i find there flash?
[10:17] <Surfnkid> cld2, ugh... it works, i mocp with an amarok stream, thanks!
[10:17] <Red-Sox> So I guess what I need to do is to mount a drive
[10:17] <hjmills> what is the most secure and simple way to mount a remote dir over a LAN
[10:17] <AndyCR> unop: i didnt, i downloaded the .debs to a usb key and installed it myself
[10:17] <cld2> Surfnkid: np, you fixed it your self ;)
[10:17] <AndyCR> all amd64
[10:18] <chazco> $ truecrypt /dev/sda1
[10:18] <chazco> Enter password for '/dev/sda1':
[10:18] <chazco> insmod: error inserting '/usr/share/truecrypt/kernel/truecrypt-2.6.17.ko': -1 Invalid module format
[10:18] <chazco> FATAL: Module truecrypt not found.
[10:18] <chazco> truecrypt: Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module
[10:18] <AndyCR> except the one marked all, which i assume works on all arches since there wsnt a version of it for any specific arch
[10:18] <Red-Sox> Er how do I mount an HDD?
[10:18] <d00d> i have windows xp on partition 1 and ubunto on part 2, everytime i try to boot ubuntu i just get to the grub command line. i have a menu.lst in /boot/grub but it seems like the commandos wont be executed by grub
[10:18] <unop> !paste > chazco
[10:18] <Surfnkid> lol i know i wanted to ask before any errors or drama destroyed my pc lol
[10:18] <fokuslee> if [ $(id -u) != "0" ] ; then
[10:18] <fokuslee>     echo "You must be the superuser to run this script" >&2
[10:18] <fokuslee>     exit 1
[10:18] <fokuslee> fi
[10:18] <fokuslee> 
[10:18] <d00d> so i have to load the kernel and boot manually everytime
[10:18] <fokuslee> will this work with sudo?
[10:18] <steel_lady> somebody has experience with kopete? I don't understand why I can send files to msn but not to ICQ grrrr
[10:19] <Oncer> Can anyone help me with my Internet problems?
[10:19] <unop> AndyCR, i've little experience with ndiswrapper even less on a 64 bit env .. have you scoured the ubuntu forums?
[10:19] <juano> !ask | Oncer
[10:19] <ubotu> Oncer: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:19] <unop> fokuslee, please use a pastebin :) thank you
[10:19] <AndyCR> unop: to an extent, yes
[10:19] <AndyCR> unop: not much of value found
[10:19] <chazco> anyone using truecrypt and nvidia? if so how did you do it?
[10:19] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: sudo mount /dev/hd?? /mount/point  ...  where hd?? is the drive and partition number, and /mount/point is the folder you want t omount it
[10:19] <hjmills> !sudo
[10:19] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:20] <fokuslee> unop ok sorri i got lazy : )
[10:20] <unop> fokuslee, sudo sets the UID to 0 .. so, i think thats a yes to your question
[10:20] <fokuslee> : ) thx
[10:20] <juano> anyone knows why cant i see the .cda files when i enter Storage media and then cdrom0??
[10:20] <jobo> where can I find information about the alternate install?

[10:20] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: you may also need to specify a file type, which is done with -t
[10:20] <unop> fokuslee, errm, thats not a wise thing to say/do -- the pastebins exist for a good reason
[10:21] <AndyCR> unop: think i would have better luck with raw debian?
[10:21] <llamas> I can't understand who can give me a hand please.
[10:21] <ikonia_> llamas whats up
[10:21] <unop> AndyCR, errm, if you have the same circumstances you have here on debian, you probably will have the exact same errors
[10:21] <dm> Hey guys whats "the widget factory" i keep seeing?  can i download it
[10:22] <llamas> I can't see videos in sites like youtube
[10:22] <llamas> because say me that i need flash
[10:22] <chazco> ikonia_ : it broke truecrypt again
[10:22] <mohshami> hey guys, I'm looking into dedicated hosting with peer 1, anybody heard of them?
[10:22] <riotkittie> upgrade to flash 9 beta
[10:22] <Oncer> I have asked my question, 3 times.
[10:22] <ikonia_> llamas you need flash 9
[10:22] <ikonia_> chazco whats the problem
[10:22] <llamas> ikonia en packages i can find it :) ?
[10:22] <theflyingfool> whats the canonical 3rd party repo
[10:22] <ctothej> is it better to install wine with firefox x86 for flash support or use a vmware image with ubuntu on it?
[10:22] <AndyCR> !flash9 | llamas
[10:22] <ubotu> llamas: flash9 is available from dapper-backports and edgy-backports now, see !backports

[10:22] <llamas> NOw what i need to do ?
[10:22] <bruenig> llamas, copy and paste that in terminal
[10:22] <riotkittie> perhaps nobody's answering because... nobody has an answer :P
[10:22] <llamas> what is terminal ?
[10:23] <llamas> the thinggy like ms dos ??
[10:23] <bruenig> llamas, applications>accessories>terminal, then copy and paste all of this at once, wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[10:23] <unop> AndyCR, why don't you try this from scratch again .. i usually have a degree of success after going back to the drawing board and verifying things step by step ..
[10:23] <riotkittie> or because those who do have answers are in the process of helping others. patience is a virtue.
[10:23] <llamas> let me see :D
[10:23] <dcordes> llamas: applications accessoirs terminal
[10:23] <bruenig> llamas, yeah the thingy like ms dos
[10:23] <Juice^> any recommended pages for downloading themes for ubuntu?
[10:23] <llamas> now first i need to paste this: wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[10:23] <riotkittie> Juice^: gnome-look.org
[10:23] <AndyCR> Juice^: gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org
[10:23] <bruenig> llamas, paste the whole thing at once
[10:23] <kotatsu> Juice^: gnome-look.org or art.gnome.org
[10:23] <DARKGuy> Juice^: gnome-look.org
[10:23] <DARKGuy> that xD
[10:23] <AndyCR> LOL
[10:24] <Juice^> thanks! :)
[10:24] <AndyCR> alot of people
[10:24] <chazco> ikonia_ : insmod: error inserting '/usr/share/truecrypt/kernel/truecrypt-2.6.17.ko': -1 Invalid module format
[10:24] <llamas> i already pasted this: wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/edgy/3v1n0/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[10:24] <bruenig> Juice^, http://parker1.co.uk/satanic/
[10:24] <llamas> is like downloading something is it correct ??
[10:24] <DARKGuy> Hey, it means the site is popular too xD
[10:24] <chazco> ikonia_ : yet it worked before
[10:24] <bruenig> llamas, then paste the last part after the &&
[10:24] <llamas> this: sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.21.78-3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[10:24] <llamas> =D
[10:24] <ikonia_> chazco thats not a kernel module
[10:24] <llamas> password?
[10:25] <llamas> WHat I need to write in pass ?????
[10:25] <ikonia_> chazco where did you get that module ?
[10:25] <bruenig> llamas, put your user password
[10:25] <ikonia_> llamas I think you need to go away
[10:25] <Red-Sox> Does anyone know how to mount an Ubuntu HDD from a Live CD?
[10:25] <ikonia_> llamas its clear you've not read anything
[10:25] <llamas> nop
[10:25] <ikonia_> or listened
[10:25] <chazco> its built into the truecrypt package
[10:25] <riotkittie> heh
[10:25] <llamas> I told you
[10:25] <llamas> IS my first day :)
[10:25] <ikonia_> chazco that package from the ubuntu repo ?
[10:25] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: sudo mount /dev/hd?? /mount/point  ...  where hd?? is the drive and partition number, and /mount/point is the folder you want t omount it
[10:25] <ikonia_> I didn't think the module should be installed htere
[10:25] <ikonia_> there
[10:25] <chazco> nope, its not in the repos i dont think
[10:25] <ikonia_> chazco where did you get it ?
[10:26] <chazco> i got it direct from the truecrypt site (they have a package for Ubuntu 6.10 )
[10:26] <ikonia_> chazco they are not maintaining it
[10:26] <FifaFrazer> I have a question for lyx users:  I've set some footers and headers in the latex preamble, but they are not shown on the first page.. How do i fix that?
[10:26] <llamas> i get this error: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[10:26] <bruenig> llamas, well check out the forums, ubuntuforums.org and ubuntuguide.org and read some stuff to get acquainted, I especially recommend the last link to get all of the format stuff taken care of like mp3 and flash and java and such
[10:26] <riotkittie> ex: sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mount/ubuntu
[10:26] <Red-Sox> riotkittie: So what exactly is the command?
[10:26] <Red-Sox> riotkittie: Okay
[10:26] <chazco> what puzzles me is that it works immediatly before installing nvidia, wouldnt expect it to break it
[10:26] <ikonia_> chazco they need to rebuild it against the .10 build
[10:26] <bruenig> llamas, are you running synaptic or the update manager?
[10:26] <riotkittie> just make sure youre mounting it to a folder that exists
[10:26] <llamas> Yup, let me close it then
[10:26] <ikonia_> chazco because while instlaling the nvidia packge its updated your kernel to the latestes stble
[10:26] <wkerzend> two questions: mergedfb(radeon driver) second monitor stays black, but is recognized. 2: in fglrx bigdesktop I get mouse offsets when changing screens. Please solve one of the problems
[10:26] <hjmills> hmm - any idea why i cant login to my server as a second user over ssh?
[10:27] <chazco> ikonia: if i get the source and compile then is it likely to work?
[10:27] <ikonia_> hjmills whats the error
[10:27] <ikonia_> chazco maybe
[10:27] <Surfnkid> cld2, hey trying to find a file on the hdd thru cli, do i use grep?
[10:27] <ikonia_> depends if the code is compaitble
[10:27] <Jowi> hjmills, so the first user works?
[10:27] <verbose> hjmills: any errors or description of exactly what's happening would help
[10:27] <chazco> i'll have a breif look.. ive done some compiling with OE before
[10:27] <AndyCR> does anyone else here have trouble with dhclient in edgy?
[10:27] <hjmills> ikonia_, none - it gives me the motd and drops me back to the original prompt on my machine
[10:27] <Red-Sox> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mount/ubuntu
[10:27] <Red-Sox> mount: mount point /mount/ubuntu does not exist
[10:27] <riotkittie> Surfnkid: use locate. sudo updatedb may prove helpul before hand
[10:27] <unop> Surfnkid,  find /path/to/search -name "pattern"
[10:27] <ikonia_> hjmills does that user have a shell ?
[10:27] <Red-Sox> riotkittie: ^^
[10:28] <Juice^> AndyCR, should i download the nvidia drivers manually from nvidias website?
[10:28] <Surfnkid> ok
[10:28] <Surfnkid> thx
[10:28] <hjmills> Jowi, yes - i have a server with admin and harry as users - admin was created by the installer and i created harry lter
[10:28] <hjmills> ikonia_, good point
[10:28] <AndyCR> !nvidia | Juice^
[10:28] <ubotu> Juice^: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:28] <llamas> I cant understand this(sorry english is not my native language): IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE  
[10:28] <llamas>   TERMS, THEN DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE
[10:28] <Jowi> hjmills, verify how you created the user
[10:28] <Surfnkid> will try that thankx
[10:28] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu && sudo mount /dev/hda2 /medi /ubuntu
[10:28] <bruenig> llamas, just hit tab and then click OK
[10:28] <llamas> I can't press enter or something ?
[10:28] <llamas> oki
[10:28] <ikonia_> can someone kick llamas please
[10:28] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu && sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/ubuntu
[10:28] <chazco> btw, quick question for anyone - does the installer on the livecd use parted?
[10:28] <Red-Sox> riotkittie: Okay I'll give it a shot
[10:28] <DARKGuy> ikonia_: why? he's not doing anything wrong
[10:28] <AndyCR> llamas: it means that if you want to use flash you have to agree to what they say
[10:29] <llamas> yeah i got it =D
[10:29] <AndyCR> ah
[10:29] <ikonia_> DARKGuy not listening, constantly asking the same thing
[10:29] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: errr replace hda2 with sda1 or whatever
[10:29] <ikonia_> just getting annoying
[10:29] <unop> chazco, i should think so
[10:29] <llamas> Thank you !! ikonia sorry for bothering :< ,
[10:29] <AndyCR> its one of those ugly little packages that hasn't been freed yet
[10:29] <DARKGuy> ikonia_:  /ignore has a use :)
[10:29] <ikonia_> DARKGuy I shouldn't have to though......
[10:29] <hjmills> ikonia_, that was it - thanks :) i feel stupid now
[10:29] <ikonia_> but I know what your saying
[10:29] <chazco> intersting, i'll look at that (im making an installer for our PDA distro)
[10:29] <jclark4> libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
[10:29] <jclark4> what pkg is that in?
[10:29] <AndyCR> chazco: pda distro? sounds interesting
[10:29] <ikonia_> hjmills easy mistake, just know the symptoms
[10:30] <Red-Sox> riotkittie: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /medi/ubuntu && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu
[10:30] <Red-Sox> mkdir: cannot create directory `/medi/ubuntu': No such file or directory
[10:30] <chazco> AndyCR: its for the Jornada handheld pc's
[10:30] <hjmills> ikonia_, didnt need a shell originally when i created the user for use with ssh so i didnt give myself a shell for security
[10:30] <llamas> I think is done !!! let me check it =D !!!!
[10:30] <AndyCR> ah
[10:30] <ikonia_> hjmills oops
[10:30] <tonyyarusso> jclark4: packages.ubuntu.com or the apt-file program can tell you.  (ubotu probably can to, but I don't remember the syntax today)
[10:30] <chazco> but they have no flash rom which makes it much more difficult
[10:30] <ikonia_> Red-Sox the error is pretty clear
[10:30] <AndyCR> llamas: you might have to close all firefox windows before itll work
[10:30] <llamas> andycr okiii
[10:30] <Jowi> Red-Sox, you just typed the error and solution yourself
[10:30] <riotkittie> Red-Sox: sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu           .........youre missing an a there
[10:30] <Red-Sox> Oh right
[10:31] <unop> jclark4, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=libstdc%2B%2B-libc6.2-2.so.3&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=edgy&arch=i386

[10:31] <llamas> andycr is working !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[10:31] <AndyCR> llamas: great
[10:31] <llamas> IS this free or i need to pay you :p ?
[10:31] <DARKGuy> xD
[10:31] <Jugo_> When I go to boot to the Ubuntu live cd, everything goes black but the cd seems to be loading. What do I do if my graphics aren't supposed to even install ubuntu so that I can get the right drivers?
[10:31] <llamas> How much I need to pay you?
[10:31] <unop> Red-Sox, skip the first part of the command and try again
[10:31] <Jowi> Red-Sox, if it already exists it can't create it. just mount it now
[10:31] <AndyCR> llamas: flash is free as in money, i meant it wasn't open source
[10:32] <riotkittie> Red-Sox:  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu         ... alone then
[10:32] <llamas> everything in linux is free ???
[10:32] <AndyCR> llamas: everything included yes
[10:32] <Red-Sox> Okay I got it mounted, now I can't even open it
[10:32] <Red-Sox> Explore it
[10:32] <llamas> OMG !    I <3 LINUX !!!!!
[10:32] <Jugo_> When I go to boot to the Ubuntu live cd, everything goes black but the cd seems to be loading. What do I do if my graphics aren't supported to even install ubuntu so that I can get the right drivers?

[10:32] <unop> llamas, depends on what you mean "free"
[10:32] <DARKGuy> gotta love linux <3
[10:32] <AndyCR> llamas: if anything
[10:32] <llamas> THank you verymuch !!!!! if i have more problems can i come again??

[10:32] <llamas> Nice joob guys !!! I love you too !!!!!!
[10:33] <riotkittie> that will give you read access, i believe
[10:33] <AndyCR> if you mean free as in freedom, no, madwifi for instance is included, thats a subject of flame for ubuntu
[10:33] <llamas> GUys ! are awesome thank bbl :) !!
[10:33] <Red-Sox> riotkittie: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod +755 /media/ubuntu

[10:33] <Red-Sox> Try `chmod --help' for more information.
[10:33] <chazco> does the ffmpeg in the repos still lack mp3 support? if so i'll need to compile it again
[10:33] <llamas> tc all
[10:33] <Jowi> llamas, well, this channel consists mostly of voulonteers. advice in here is free at least. but this is not a channel for you if you want business-like support :)
[10:33] <unop> sudo chmod 755 /media/ubuntu
[10:33] <lupine_85> that's what canonical do :)
[10:33] <ikonia_> Red-Sox don't use +

[10:34] <unop> Jugo_, please stop repeating  -- and to answer your question -- try installing via the alternate CD
[10:34] <Jugo_> I tried the alternate cd, no luck.
[10:34] <llamas> is called Xchat i guess

[10:35] <Jugo_> How would I go about disabling the framebuffer and what does that do?
[10:35] <Jowi> Jugo_, you should get more options if you press the F1-F7 buttons. one option there is to disable the framebuffer.
[10:35] <unop> Jugo_, is your graphics card relatively common?
[10:35] <heanol> anyone using fglrx tv-out with dual head? I.e. one x-serve rfor monitor and one x-server for tv?

[10:37] <Jowi> llamas, what do you want to do exactly?
[10:37] <unop> hjmills, kill -L should tell you
[10:37] <Red-Sox> How do I explore a mounted drive?
[10:37] <ldd> how ware youhello?
[10:37] <derFlo> how can i start a java programm? (.jar-file)
[10:37] <mnoir> hjmills: sends a strong signal to the task - it means die now without any soft landing
[10:37] <llamas> jowi download the XCHAT , I'm not using it i guess then
[10:37] <Lani> Hi, I hope someone could help me. I am running Ubuntu Edgy which I upgraded from Dapper. For some reason my swap partition has disappeared. I tried recreating it with mkswap/swapon and that worked but when I rebooted it disappeared again.
[10:37] <hjmills> mnoir, and if it lives through that?
[10:37] <Red-Sox> ah got it
[10:37] <mnoir> hjmills: do not use -9 unless gentle methods do not work
[10:38] <Jowi> llamas, "sudo apt-get install xchat" should install it for you. "xchat" will launch it.
[10:38] <Juice^> AndyCR, this nvidia guide got quite advanced and cofusing about these "linux-restricted-modules" .. i can't really figure out which one to go for, and if they're already installed

[10:38] <llamas> =*******
[10:38] <llamas> muaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!
[10:38] <hjmills> mnoir, but i dont believe in reboots :)

[10:39] <p900> danm my installer crashed at the end lol
[10:39] <atlantia> anyon here got good ssh mojo? I am trying to setup an rsync scenario, but having issues with the aut process/ sshd ocnfig file
[10:40] <unop> llamas, aptitude search xchat

[10:40] <cld2> Surfnkid: did you find that file? you would use find / -name filename
[10:40] <llamas> How can I Search it ? where?
[10:40] <llamas> google ??
[10:40] <ikonia_> atlantia explain
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> llamas: apt-cache search
[10:40] <unop> llamas, using that command i gave you
[10:40] <llamas> apt-cache xchat    <--- ? that in the terminal ?=
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> Or unop's (both are fine)
[10:40] <bluefox83> llamas, google is a great tool for linux users...you will quickly learn that google is god :D
[10:41] <tonyyarusso> unop: Oddly enough, I use apt-cache to search and aptitude to install :S
[10:41] <FifaFrazer> A LyX question: How do I turn the header ON on the first page?
[10:41] <Surfnkid> cld2, trying to, will use ur advice :)
[10:41] <bluefox83> synaptic can do both of those, and with a lot better results...
[10:41] <atlantia> ikonia_, i hvae my -dsa generated key, have added it to the remote host auth file
[10:41] <llamas> but are just the xchat g-nome
[10:41] <atlantia> er ".ssh/authorized_keys
[10:42] <llamas> I don't want to use that version
[10:42] <unop> tonyyarusso, either works .. but sometime's i've had apt-cache report something and aptitude something completely different, i've always trusted aptitude since even though its slower
[10:42] <cld2> Surfnkid: if you know where it might be, like say /var you can do '   sudo find /var -name filename

[10:42] <ikonia_> ok
[10:42] <ikonia_> with you so far
[10:42] <atlantia> ikonia_, .ssh/authorized_keys
[10:42] <ikonia_> yup
[10:42] <wasabi> Any idea why ping in a chroot would be able tor esolve archive.ubuntu.com, but apt-get wouldn't>
[10:42] <atlantia> ikonia_, i think i have to enable dsa auth in the sshd_config file
[10:42] <ikonia_> atlantia should be enabled by default
[10:42] <Surfnkid> cld2, thats for filenames right? and for a string inside a file?
[10:43] <asdf_> what is the easiest way to install sun's java?
[10:43] <atlantia> ikonia_, ok, so i wonder why it always asks for a pass :\
[10:43] <wasabi> asdf apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[10:43] <ikonia_> atlantia where is your private key
[10:43] <cld2> Surfnkid: if you know the filename you want to look for the string you can do grep pattern filename
[10:43] <mAIJK> Hello... Im trying to install linux.. I have booted from partimage rescuecd and I have the linux installation disc(iso) on my HDD. Is there a way to install like this? I have mounted the hdd and can find the ISO, but how to run it?
[10:43] <atlantia> ikonia_, in home dir of local host
[10:43] <Pommie> !java
[10:43] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[10:43] <ikonia_> mAIJK no
[10:43] <cld2> Surfnkid: if you dont you can used the -exec feature or find to execute a grep on each file it finds or you can pipe | to xargs and do the same
[10:43] <ikonia_> atlantia where in the home dir ?
[10:44] <ikonia_> atlantia whats the file called too
[10:44] <Surfnkid> coolers
[10:44] <Surfnkid> gonna write this down
[10:44] <Surfnkid> heh
[10:44] <atlantia> ikonia rsync_key is the file
[10:44] <ikonia_> not going to happen atlantia
[10:45] <Surfnkid> cld2, grep pattern filename < will that look in the whole root?
[10:45] <ikonia_> the file needs to be called identity or id_dsa and live in ~/.ssh
[10:45] <Surfnkid> cld2, oh nevermind thats for string sorry
[10:45] <cld2> Surfnkid: grep pattern * will look
[10:45] <Surfnkid> a ok
[10:45] <atlantia> ikonia_, k what did i miss?
[10:45] <ikonia_> or you need to specify ssh -i path_to_public_key
[10:45] <fokuslee> what is the ubuntu certification program?
[10:45] <cld2> Surfnkid: how about you tell me what you are trying to find and ill show you how?
[10:45] <Jowi> mAIJK, check this link for various installation methods: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[10:45] <ikonia_> atlantia did you follow that ?
[10:46] <atlantia> ikonia_, actually i have rsync_key and rsync_key.pub
[10:46] <Pommie> cld2, Surfnkid : Check the manpages for the 'strings' command.
[10:46] <ikonia_> atlantia yes, thats your private and public key
[10:46] <sputnik2012> Hi all, anyone know how to source and link to firmware files for a new kernel?
[10:46] <Surfnkid> cld2, ok well its an xml file i had the name close, its Cool-Streams.xml which ive already found, but i wasnt sure where it was. but its /usr/share/apps/amarok
[10:46] <ikonia_> sputnik2012 what kernel
[10:46] <ikonia_> firmware for what device
[10:46] <sputnik2012> 2.6.19.2
[10:46] <Surfnkid> Pommie, man strings?
[10:46] <Surfnkid> ok
[10:46] <ikonia_> sputnik2012 have you built that yourself ?
[10:47] <sputnik2012> specifically the zd1201 kernel, built myself yes.
[10:47] <atlantia> ikonia_, ssh remotehost -i rsync_key.pub asks for pass too
[10:47] <ikonia_> sputnik2012 then you need to find it yourself
[10:47] <Juice^> Anyone knows? It seems like i have linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic installed, so i need to remove that and add the correct one for my cpu to install the nvidia drivers?
[10:47] <Pommie> strings will look for strings in non-ascii files. grep will work for ascii files.
[10:47] <ikonia_> as this is nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:47] <sputnik2012> just need to add the directory to /lib but not sure how to reference it.
[10:47] <ikonia_> atlantia because thats your public key
[10:47] <thafreak> Anyone know where I can find the kernel .config for the kernel from the boot cd???
[10:47] <cld2> Surfnkid: ok cool.
[10:47] <ikonia_> sputnik2012 firmware isn't needed at built time
[10:47] <ikonia_> thayou can't use it
[10:47] <ikonia_> thafreak you can't use it

[10:48] <llamas> WHy not ?

[10:50] <ikonia_> thafreak not sure its available
[10:50] <Pommie> kharloss: Using synaptic, make sure that the 'make' package is installed.
[10:50] <atlantia> ikonia_, ok i will retry the process with the info you have given me, thank you

[10:54] <dcordes> thenetduck: best vga ever ;) same here
[10:54] <Pommie> matgates : No. The proper thing to do is to convince the router to assign your interface card a 'static dhcp' address.
[10:54] <p900> thenetduck:what kind of guide did you follow ,and can i follow it too
[10:54] <ikonia_> atlantia no problem

[10:55] <matgates> Pommie: Ah, thanks.  I think I can tell it to give me a lease time of forever, although it's hard to tie that to a mac address with my crappy router.  ho hum.  cheers anyhow.
[10:55] <ikonia_> atlantia good call
[10:55] <thenetduck> p900: you want 3d excell?

[11:00] <ikonia_> p900 your on an old box - it won't have the grunt
[11:00] <thafreak> no problem
[11:00] <Pommie> thafreak : Yeah, unless the company provides Linux drivers, or someone has reverse-engineered drivers already... you might be SOL.
[11:00] <Vasu> I have a problem, since the last boot, I dont have sound anymore
[11:00] <thenetduck> p900: right that's what I mean. And your vidoes don't work? well correctly that is
[11:00] <Kalrog> Anyone know anything about mounting hard drives?  I modified fstab and got a second hard drive (recently formatted) to be recognized and mounted, but it is in a read only state.  How do I switch it to read/write?  This is a partition reformatted from ntfs to ext3.
[11:00] <p900> why wont my grub install this is the second time
[11:01] <thafreak> no I have drivers...and they're open source...just need a way to compile them so that they'll work with the install cd's kernel
[11:01] <Thief> How can you get ubuntu to reconize wireless drivers, I have checked a site for the one I have and still does nto work
[11:01] <Vasu> when I klick test under audio I get this gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open ressources to write!
[11:01] <jorvis_> anyone know how to play MP4 videos?
[11:01] <Pommie> !fstab
[11:01] <thafreak> anyone know who the install cd maintainers are?

[11:02] <Kalrog> I messed with fstab some, but I guess that there is more that I need to do.  Thanks for the tuxfiles link - I'll check that out.
[11:02] <ublender> well, that's the limit of my knowledge, I can't even get aac to work on my ipod shuffle

[11:03] <thafreak> I know how to compile modules for a running system, I need to compile modules for the INSTALL CD...
[11:03] <cdubya> I need to know how to get the sigma final character (greek).....I have a BSTGreek font installed, but it doesn't have that particular character and I really need to have that character. Anyone know a good place to start looking?

[11:03] <radioaktivstorm> evening everyone, i need help setting up Apache2 on my box. ive already done sudo apt-get install apache2. now the question is....how do i use it?
[11:03] <hairulf1> Pommie: Chers!
[11:03] <hairulf1> Cheers
[11:03] <hairulf1> :)
[11:03] <Thief> does anyone know of a good password tester for wireless
[11:03] <Pommie> np
[11:03] <Thief> I have tried aircrack, cant seem to get it to work with my computer
[11:04] <cdubya> radioaktivstorm, it should be running already if you installed it, so what kind of help do you need?
[11:04] <Pommie> thafreak : Sounds like you're trying to rebundle an install cd?
[11:04] <llamas> Can I know a p2p for ubntu =p
[11:05] <radioaktivstorm> cdubya, ive never used apache on linux...where do i find the directories to put stuff in etc?
[11:05] <thafreak> I don't really want to rebuild the whole thing...just need to compile a custom module for it..
[11:05] <thafreak> So it would help to have the .config used for the install cd's kernel
[11:05] <cdubya> radioaktivstorm, /var/www
[11:05] <cdubya> you can mkdirs in there
[11:05] <radioaktivstorm> cdubya, thank you very much!
[11:05] <cdubya> np
[11:06] <p900>  thenetduck:That guide seems good it actually for the 9550
[11:06] <ikonia_> thafreak you could try a long shot of a make old_config
[11:06] <Pommie> thafreak : Well, given that it's a read-only file system, you've got just about two options. 1) rebuild the install cd (ugh), or 2) research ubuntu's wiki about loading a driver from a flash or floppy disk.
[11:06] <llamas> command to search programms ?
[11:06] <charbo> find
[11:06] <ikonia_> llamas you've been told 6 times now
[11:06] <hjmills> im trying to mount a dir over the network using sshfs (fuse) and im getting "failed to open /dev/fuse: no such file or dir" does anybody know why?
[11:07] <ikonia_> hjmills fuse support in the kernel
[11:07] <hairulf1> Pommie: Hmm, all I need to know is what my networkadapter is called apparently not eth0 or eth1
[11:07] <erUSUL> llamas: in apt? apt-cache search name
[11:07] <hairulf1> :/
[11:07] <thafreak> I know how to load the driver...that's not the problem....
[11:07] <llamas> thanks you erUSUL
[11:07] <thafreak> the problem is compiling it with the same .config as the install cd's kernel
[11:07] <Pommie> hairulf1 : You mean 'ifconfig'  to show all network cards?
[11:07] <hjmills> ikonia_, so i need to compile in fuse support?
[11:07] <OrangeOrange> how can i disable emerald themes?
[11:07] <ikonia_> thafreak I meant if you do an old_config you may get a .config from the running kernel
[11:07] <OrangeOrange> or uinstall it?
[11:07] <hairulf1> Pommie: YEESSS! Thanks again mate!
[11:07] <ikonia_> hjmills I think its in your kernel may need mobprobing
[11:08] <hjmills> ikonia_, yes  -thanks
[11:08] <ikonia_> hjmills do you have the fuse package installed
[11:08] <cdubya> I know that you can key in a unicode character sequence and have it display the right character, but how do you do it?
[11:08] <thafreak> except there's no kernel source on the install cd's running environment to run make oldconfig in...
[11:08] <thafreak> so that doesn't help me
[11:08] <ikonia_> thafreak n o chance then
[11:08] <hjmills> ikonia_, yup - needed a modprobe - u rock - ta
[11:08] <ikonia_> give up
[11:08] <ikonia_> hjmills no probs
[11:08] <Pommie> ifconfig will show you whatever network interfaces the kernel knows about, even if they're not on the network.
[11:08] <erUSUL> llamas: no problem

[11:25] <JamesG> A more general question.. Back when people first started updating from dapper to edgy, there were a lot of problems reported. Have those been ironed out yet? Or is the safest route still to do a fresh install?
[11:25] <mazcot> and tried different PW
[11:25] <Flannel> mazcot: hmm, and what is the username?
[11:25] <NeoGeo64> Please help me... I'm using ZSNES and when I try and change to a higher fullscreen resolution other than the default my computer will freeze.  IT will switch to the new resolution and then freeze.  Can anyone help me with this?
[11:25] <mazcot> clare greenaway and clare
[11:25] <mazcot> respectivly
[11:26] <Nordbo> Would this be the right place to ask a minor technical question?
[11:26] <erUSUL> !ask
[11:26] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:26] <Rictoo> Hi
[11:26] <Flannel> mazcot: hmm.  Those should work fine.  Odd.  Well, hmm.  It's obviously a bug.  Let's see if there's a bgureport on it aleady

[11:26] <mazcot> thanks
[11:26] <katabatic> can anybody help me getting my screen to dim and/or hotkeys to work on a Toshiba laptop with Phoenix BIOS?
[11:26] <unop> JamesG, well, as with upgrading anything -- it is expected to encounter the little nagging problems -- but most problems have been ironed out or addressed
[11:26] <Rictoo> I compiled a thing from source, but I want to uninstall the program
[11:26] <Rictoo> its gaim

[11:26] <Rictoo> I compiled a thing from source, but I want to uninstall the program

[11:26] <Rictoo> How do I do it?
[11:26] <k010> Flannel, sick one
[11:26] <NeoGeo64> Please help me... I'm using ZSNES and when I try and change to a higher fullscreen resolution other than the default my computer will freeze.  IT will switch to the new resolution and then freeze.  Can anyone help me with this?
[11:27] <wastrel> Rictoo:  make uninstall  maybe in the same directory you installed it from
[11:27] <wastrel> (sudo)
[11:27] <ompaul> JamesG, I would suggest if you have *anything* not from the ubuntu repo in there - fonts codecs or anything else then do a reinstall - upgrade only support from one version to another, not one version + random stuff
[11:27] <Rictoo> thanks
[11:27] <Rictoo> lemme try it
[11:27] <Rictoo> thanks!

[11:27] <Rictoo> =D <3 wastrel
[11:27] <JamesG> ompaul: Hm, I can't really remember, to be honest.. I might have one or two things from external sources.
[11:27] <mnoir> Rictoo: if it didn't come with an uninck.  next time use checkinstall to install itstall, youre probably stu
[11:27] <Flannel> mazcot: I'm here, by the way: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oem-config/+bugs  If we don't find one, you should report a bug
[11:27] <Nordbo> I am at the moment running Ubuntu 5.04 (was the CD I found). This version is no longer supported. How do I upgrade to a newer release without using (update sources.list; apt-get dist-upgrade (as it is discouraged because it doesn't handle the upgrade properly))
[11:28] <Rictoo> mnoir: What?
[11:28] <ompaul> JamesG, your risk, I would do it cleanly

[11:28] <cermit> hello, i was wondering if it is possible to change ubuntu version.. from hoary to breeze?
[11:29] <ctothej> Just converted my friend who was victim of windows viruses and malware to Ubuntu Edgy over the phone... score one for Ubuntu!!!
[11:29] <Flannel> !upgrade | cermit, yep
[11:29] <ubotu> cermit, yep: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

[11:29] <ubotu> cermit: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:29] <unop> JamesG, if it's your work machine -- dapper should last you a while yet
[11:29] <JamesG> ompaul: Yeah, for now.. I'll wait until the project I'm working on is complete and upgrade after that.
[11:29] <Tmi> ctothej: I nominate you for a Nobel price :)
[11:29] <JamesG> unop: Well I'd quite like Eclipse 3.2, but I can wait :)
[11:29] <cermit> thanks ubotu... even if you are a bot... or so i assume :)
[11:29] <ctothej> Tmi: i'm psyched man.
[11:29] <ompaul> cermit, you are correct

[11:30] <Flannel> mazcot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oem-config/+bug/47164  looks... well, half of them.

[11:30] <katabatic> can anybody help me getting my screen to dim and/or FN hotkeys to work on a Toshiba laptop with Phoenix BIOS?
[11:30] <juanfe> hello all
[11:30] <ompaul> jorvis_, please go to the channel #ubuntu-xgl
[11:30] <mazcot1> sorry about that. my wireless is having issues
[11:31] <Flannel> mazcot: I'm here, by the way: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oem-config/+bugs  If we don't find one, you should report a bug
[11:31] <juanfe> anyone know how to open ports or aplication for that?
[11:31] <Flannel> mazcot: and  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oem-config/+bug/47164  looks... well, half of the comments.
[11:31] <mazcot1> thanks
[11:31] <mazcot1> *goes to check*
[11:31] <riotkittie> katabatic: you may want to check the laptop subforum on ubuntuforums.org // i cant swear that it will help but its worth a shot
[11:31] <erUSUL> juanfe: what firewall are you using?
[11:31] <Rictoo> When I uninstall, I get this: !!

[11:31] <fleischwurst> thats an amsg, sorry, im just testing, please dont highlight me, thanks :)
[11:32] <Flannel> mazcot: so, looks like it's a known bug (couldn't hurt for you to put some input in, if you have any more), and there's no 'fix' to it,but we can go ahead and boot to a single user rescue prompt (at grub) and then add a user that way
[11:32] <ompaul> Rictoo, you were asked once not to paste

[11:32] <aninhumer> What's the cheapest way to get TV-out (SCART) from a laptop?
[11:32] <hjmills> hooray for coloured prompts
[11:32] <riotkittie> all of teh keys on my dell latitude worked from the install.
[11:32] <JamesG> Rictoo: Try the parent folder, perhaps? I don't really know, just a guess.
[11:32] <mnoir> Rictoo: then you will need to uninstall by hand - that is why checkinstall is a good idea when installing from source
[11:32] <hjmills> aninhumer, svideo to scart cable
[11:32] <bluefox83> ok, i need a way around HAL, cus it's choking on a hardware config or something...
[11:32] <juanfe> erUSUL, I don't use none
[11:32] <mazcot1> hmm need to afk a second. brb
[11:32] <bluefox83> what can i use in place of HAL?
[11:33] <riotkittie> checkinstall is also my new boyfriend
[11:33] <GaiaX11> When I start ubuntu I have a Icon hda1 (for windows partition) on my working area. So, how do I rename it?
[11:33] <Kalrog> So I checked the tuxfile thing linked earlier...  I understand fstab a bit more, but even with the defaults set (which should be rw), I have a HD partition that is mounting with ONLY the root user having read/write access not everyone.  How do I make it r/w for all users?
[11:33] <hjmills> riotkittie, i love checkinstall too but dont worry - im not stealing your lover
[11:33] <juanfe> I want to permit connect to port 8000
[11:33] <aninhumer> hjmills, Well the laptop has S-Video but I can't get it to work with xorg
[11:33] <swarog> em, i need help with intel 82801G alsa
[11:33] <riotkittie> hjmills: phew :)
[11:33] <Flannel> Kalrog: umask (or associated flags for other FS types)
[11:33] <radioaktivstorm> ok, ive gotten apache and php as well as mySQL ..im not sure if mySQL is working and i cant use the phpmyadmin login page...any pointers?
[11:33] <swarog> looks like it detected card correctly
[11:33] <Pommie> GaiaX11 : Format that drive for Linux and get rid of Windows? :)
[11:33] <swarog> but no sound coming out
[11:33] <erUSUL> juanfe: then the ports should be open unless you use a router... if so you have to configure Nat in the router

[11:34] <marvinthepa> hey, I am suddenly experiencing problems when I want to connect via ssh
[11:34] <bluefox83> i don't need HAL?
[11:34] <hjmills> riotkittie, im too in love with ssh to have time for checkinstall
[11:34] <Pommie> GaiaX11: Seriously though, check your fstab file.
[11:34] <r3vo> Hey, quick question. I want to do a fresh install of ubuntu over kubuntu, should i just tell it to use my same home and swap partitions and let it format them?
[11:34] <Kalrog> Flannel: It is ext3.  This is a reformat of a NTFS partition into ext3
[11:34] <Pommie> !fstab | GaiaX11

[11:35] <hjmills> r3vo, if u want to lose all the data then yeah - otherwise u can keep ure /home partition and al the data
[11:35] <raboof_> (I switched to ion3, and that doesn't appear to like the gnome panel much...)
[11:35] <Flannel> Kalrog: ext3 is just umask then (man mount for more information) basically, the umask is a mask of what you want the perms to be
[11:35] <Pommie> r3vo : If you're talking about a fresh install, then installing it "over" another isn't the way to do it.
[11:35] <mazcot1> back
[11:35] <r3vo> ok
[11:35] <r3vo> can you tell me how?
[11:35] <bluefox83> hey, what can i use in place of HAL?
[11:36] <Enverex> bluefox83, Nothing, it's kinda system critical
[11:36] <Pommie> r3vo : Get the latest distro, run the setup, and tell it to reformat the partitions when it installs.
[11:36] <bluefox83> Enverex, then why did the bot say optional?
[11:36] <aninhumer> Actually I haven't tried a the 7 pin tv-out cable I got with my graphics card
[11:36] <r3vo> that's what i said i was going to do...
[11:36] <Enverex> bluefox83, pfft, it's a bot
[11:36] <Shaezsche> the caommand sudo ifdown eth1 does not seem to be shutting down my wireless card. When i run iwconfig it still says im connected and gives stats for signal strength.
[11:36] <hjmills> aninhumer, you should be ok with a 4 pin cable then
[11:37] <imon9> hello there, i need a bit of help
[11:37] <Flannel> mazcot1: so, you'll be rebooting, then at the grub prompt, booting to the recovery console, youll get  root prompt, and you can add a first user that way.  You want to put them in the admin group, if nothing else.  (default first user is part of: [their own group]  and adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin)
[11:37] <raboof_> can I just run /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh? is there a manpage or something?
[11:37] <imon9> how do one create an ISO image from some files?
[11:37] <Pommie> r3vo : Well, you had it right. :)
[11:37] <GaiaX11> Pommie: Although  I use windows, I have gimp, open office (instead of msword), gaim and frostwire there. So, my windows is half open source :-)

[11:38] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[11:38] <Flannel> mazcot1: but, I've gotta run, there are plenty of people to help you if you have trouble.  user* and group* are your tools (type user and hit tab twice, it'll show you command, same for group)
[11:38] <erUSUL> salah__: 2.6.17
[11:38] <mazcot1> hmm. im a bit of a lunix noobie. tbh. only reason im putting it on this laptop is that its so old nothing else will run on it.
[11:38] <mazcot1> but ill have a bash. thanks flannel
[11:38] <imon9> i tried using xarchiver to make the ISO but its been 1 hour since the processing start, but not done yet
[11:38] <riotkittie> ehh. how old is your laptop?
[11:39] <mazcot1> very lol. 600mhz and 128mb ram
[11:39] <Flannel> mazcot1: and man pages are your friends ;)  once you get the commands (which do exactly what they sound like), you can do "man [command] " for the manual

[11:39] <DARKGuy> that's not bad
[11:39] <salah__> ok. well, im using a laptop, and I want the speakers to turn off when I plug in a headphone into the jack. any ideas how to fix this?
[11:39] <riotkittie> ahh. im on a 650 / 256 :P
[11:39] <ompaul> mazcot, you want xubuntu
[11:39] <JamesG> 600MHz? Kids today! I dunno, in my day we had a 25MHz laptop with a 3 inch monochrome screen and we liked it, damnit!
[11:39] <mazcot1> aye. its ok for linux. absolutly rubbish for xp, which some idiot had installed on there before
[11:39] <imon9> this is my first ever time making an ISO file i think
[11:39] <riotkittie> xubuntu makes me want to cry.
[11:39] <bluefox83> !libdiscover
[11:39] <wastrel> mazcot1 i just installed debian on a celeron 333 w/ 64 rams

[11:39] <Pommie> imon9 :Sounds like something locked up.
[11:40] <mazcot1> my first pc was a 286
[11:40] <swarog> any chance we could get 1.0.13 in tree?
[11:40] <ompaul> !offtopic
[11:40] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:40] <Flannel> mazcot1: actually, if you have trouble, just... don't do the OEM install.  do a real install from the alternate CD. You don't need any OEM features anyway.
[11:40] <mnoir> JamesG: my first laptop was an S370/145
[11:40] <crimsun> swarog: for ...?
[11:40] <DARKGuy> mine was an XT... Epson "Abacus" xD
[11:40] <DARKGuy> Aw, okay o.o
[11:40] <imon9> should i just stop it, my CPU does even run high while it create the archive ISO
[11:40] <JamesG> heh
[11:40] <imon9> any like easier way to do it? like commandline or something
[11:40] <mazcot1> yeah, i only did it because i didnt know what she wanted for the username and password etc
[11:40] <swarog> crimsun: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

[11:40] <swarog> crimsun: 6.10
[11:41] <Flannel> mazcot1: do you have he xubuntu CD? or ubuntu?
[11:41] <crimsun> swarog: unlikely
[11:41] <crimsun> swarog: you can compile alsa-driver 1.0.14rc1 yourself
[11:41] <swarog> crimsun: which one than?
[11:41] <ompaul> stoffepojken, turn that off now
[11:41] <swarog> crimsun: well, its breaking packages tree?
[11:41] <imon9> coz i am trying out innotek virtualbox and i try to make an iso to mount as cdrom
[11:41] <aninhumer> hjmills, sry I was trying the cable
[11:41] <crimsun> swarog: it's breaking what?
[11:41] <imon9> can some one pretty please help me?
[11:41] <mazcot1> meh. think ill just do a fresh install. thank you all for the help, ill probably be back here in 10 mins whinging about something else :D
[11:41] <Flannel> mazcot1: if you want xubuntu, use the ubuntu CD, install a "server" (which is just a GUI less desktop) then install the "xubuntu-desktop" package
[11:41] <swarog> crimsun: dependencies?
[11:41] <ompaul> stoffepojken, no away messages in a channel where there are so many people - okay?
[11:42] <crimsun> swarog: what's breaking dependencies?
[11:42] <Flannel> mazcot1: that is, if you have the ubuntu alternate CD, and not the xubuntu one.
[11:42] <swarog> crimsun: having different alsa package
[11:42] <crimsun> swarog: nothing in 6.10 should be requiring 1.0.13
[11:42] <riotkittie> i've yet to see a performance diff between gnome and xfce on ubuntu. perhaps i'm just doing something wrong, but xubuntu fails to impress me :P
[11:42] <crimsun> swarog: different to...?
[11:42] <mazcot1> i have the alt.cd the normal one wouldnt boot on it because of the ram lol
[11:42] <imon9> nvm..i try somewhere else
[11:42] <aninhumer> hjmills, something is coming out of the s-video but it's not set up properly
[11:42] <swarog> crimsun: eh, im not sure does any package depends on alsa 1.0.11
[11:42] <katabatic> can anybody help me getting my screen to dim and/or FN hotkeys to work on a Toshiba laptop with Phoenix BIOS?
[11:42] <crimsun> swarog: yes, quite a few.

[11:43] <Math^> hello, is there some way to making a link to a ftp with name+passwd using lftp?
[11:43] <aninhumer> hjmills, thx anyway
[11:43] <swarog> crimsun: so, i have to uninstall current alsa, which means packages depending on it should be removed from the system too?
[11:43] <ctothej> how can I mount network drives (smb) automatically at startup?
[11:43] <hjmills> Math^, use sftp - its secure

[11:44] <Pommie> Math^ : Look at the lftp manpage. It has all the options for specifying username and password on the commandline.
[11:44] <Math^> hjmills: sftp...?
[11:44] <aninhumer> Has anyone been able to get S-Video out working with an intel card?
[11:44] <ctothej> ompaul: thx
[11:44] <adaptr> Math^: by "link", do you mean a permanent one ?
[11:44] <crimsun> swarog: why would you need to "uninstall alsa"?
[11:44] <ompaul> ctothej, yw
[11:44] <swarog> crimsun: if im going to install manualy 1.0.13? or just run over previous ?
[11:44] <crimsun> swarog: it's a /minimum/ version dependency, not a bounded minimum /and/ maximum

[11:45] <Bogus8> I'm using ubuntu to try and access my local HD on a laptop... fdisk -l and cfdisk don't show the drive but Gnome partition editor does see it... anyone have a clue?
[11:45] <Pommie> Math^ : You want "lftp -uUSER,PW url"
[11:45] <mnoir> !ntfs | Bogus8
[11:45] <ubotu> Bogus8: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:45] <Math^> Pommie: yes something like that
[11:46] <aninhumer> Is there a cheap way of getting SCART tv-out from a VGA pot?
[11:46] <Pommie> Math^: That's the command. For more help, check "man lftp" or "lftp --help"
[11:46] <adaptr> Math^: I would advise you to use SSH for remote connections, as that is much more secure.. SSH comes with a secure copy program (scp) that works just like normal copy
[11:46] <adaptr> Math^: there are several ways to avoid having to enter authentication data with SSH
[11:46] <Bogus8> mnoir: I understand how to mount NTFS and such and the risk involved... my problem is that it doesn't even show up in the console fdisk utils .... that's not normal
[11:46] <swarog> crimsun: meaning what? i should run manual installation over previous or remove before installing?
[11:47] <Math^> Pommie: hjmills: adaptr: like ls -s /some/dir/you/want directory
[11:47] <adaptr> aninhumer: solder on a SCART connector; SCART has the same component wires that VGA has
[11:47] <Pommie> Math^ : As everyone else says, if possible, practice safe computing and use something a bit more secure. IF POSSIBLE.
[11:47] <adaptr> Math^: and you want to do that remotely ? then you need SSH
[11:47] <crimsun> swarog: install only alsa-driver over your existing
[11:47] <crimsun> swarog: you do not need to update alsa-{libs,utils}
[11:47] <swarog> crimsun: without lib/utils?
[11:47] <swarog> crimsun: ok thanks
[11:47] <Math^> ok guys... know enough for now, thnx :)
[11:48] <RobNyc> !ati
[11:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:48] <swarog> crimsun: i hope i'll get proper installation dir :D
[11:48] <hjmills> Math^, that would create a symbolic link....
[11:48] <aninhumer> adaptr, do I need to do anything with the xorg?
[11:48] <hjmills> Math^, no - sorry - thats ln -s not ls -s
[11:48] <Shaezsche> is there a command i can issue that will terminate all power going to my wireless card?
[11:48] <adaptr> aninhumer: why ? you're still using the same output
[11:48] <Shaezsche> i never use it and i want to save batteyr life
[11:48] <Tmi> isnt there a switch on the card?
[11:48] <EnsignRedshirt> My CD drive (/dev/hdd) has DMA enabled; are there are any other settings that would optimize its speed?
[11:48] <Math^> hjmills: yes a symbolik link to a ftp site :P
[11:48] <adaptr> Shaezsche: I assume it is built in ?
[11:48] <Pommie> !hdparm | EnsignRedshirt
[11:49] <Shaezsche> yes
[11:49] <ubotu> hdparm: tune hard disk parameters for high performance. In component main, is standard. Version 6.6-1ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 57 kB, installed size 228 kB
[11:49] <Shaezsche> adaptr sudo ifdown eth1 doesnt seem to work
[11:49] <kharloss> hi there. i use proftpd as ftp server. i have a user , ineed to change his default folder . how can i do this ?
[11:49] <adaptr> Shaezsche: no, that only disables the software side
[11:49] <aninhumer> adaptr, I read something about TVs using a lower refresh rates,
[11:49] <Shaezsche> adaptr how can i disable the hardware? i cannot do it in my bios
[11:49] <adaptr> aninhumer: they do, that's what a TV out is for
[11:50] <adaptr> Shaezsche: I would try googling for an option with HAL /D-bus to do that.. but if the BIOS doesn't support it then the chances are small to begin with
[11:50] <Pommie> kharloss : Change it HOW?
[11:50] <Shaezsche> if i ifdown eth1 will it save battery life?
[11:51] <adaptr> kharloss: have you read the proftpd documentation ? you'll need to set up an exception for that user.. a new ftp root
[11:51] <adaptr> Shaezsche: nope
[11:51] <Pommie> Shaezsche : You can try unloading all the kernel modules, and hope that the wifi card goes to sleep.
[11:51] <raboof_> right.
[11:51] <Shaezsche> ALL the kernal modules? or just ipw2200?
[11:51] <aninhumer> adaptr, So if I make (or more likely buy) a VGA to SCART cable, it will work without any setting changes?
[11:51] <adaptr> Shaezsche: *unless* that would power down the transmitter
[11:51] <Shaezsche> how can i tell if its sleeping?
[11:51] <Pommie> Shaezsche : Well, just the wifi-related ones
[11:51] <raboof_> just running /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh was a bad idea ;)
[11:52] <adaptr> aninhumer: that depends.. I would google for the signals first, as you don't want to blow up your video card doing that...
[11:52] <adaptr> aninhumer: a thorough google should tell you if and how it is possible
[11:53] <aninhumer> adaptr, thx
[11:53] <Pommie> Shaezsche : Well, that's the $1.0e+06 question.
[11:53] <adaptr> aninhumer: what card doesn't have tv out these days ? it must be old.. you can probably get a similar card with tv out for around $30
[11:54] <aninhumer> adaptr, it's a laptop, and it has tv-out but I've had no luck getting that to work
[11:54] <adaptr> Shaezsche: I'd start with a Google for "ipw2000 power down" or something... there are 3 or 4 variations I can think of of fth etop of my headf
[11:54] <JamesG> This is totally the wrong place to ask this question, but I figure it's a busy channel so it must come up.. Does someone know the correct syntax to /ignore join,part,quit messages? I used to know it, but now I can't remember.
[11:54] <adaptr> aninhumer: ah... so you need to be able to use the laptop's function keys ? there is software for that
[11:54] <adaptr> JamesG: what client do you use ?
[11:54] <aninhumer> adaptr, ah
[11:55] <JamesG> adaptr: Right now, BitchX.. but I thought this was implemented at the protocol level.
[11:55] <adaptr> aninhumer: it will depend in large part on the type of laptop, though
[11:55] <aninhumer> adaptr, toshiba satellite
[11:55] <adaptr> JamesG: you hardcore, you go dude :)
[11:55] <swarog> crimsun: hmm, after installation i got warning 'all channels are muted', but looks like alsamixer is showing they are not. same with alsamixergui
[11:55] <adaptr> aninhumer: hmm.. should work I think
[11:55] <Pommie> adaptr : lol
[11:56] <aninhumer> adaptr, what software do I need?
[11:56] <adaptr> Pommie: hell, anybody that grabs for the RFC the moment he has an application question is hardcore to the bone...
[11:56] <hairulfr> Hey all... How do I mount an ISOfile as a drive?
[11:56] <crimsun> swarog: look closely at amixer's output
[11:56] <Shaezsche> it like to make an icon that executes "sudo modprobe ipw2200 and nm-applet --sm-disable" when i double click on it. how can i do this?
[11:57] <adaptr> aninhumer: I'm trying to remember what it's called... hmmm .. synaptic.. no, that's for the touchy-feely pad
[11:57] <JamesG> I was wrong, it's not in the RFC.. Client specific. Probably why I can't remember the syntax - because it's not standard.
[11:57] <adaptr> hairulfr: use a loop mount
[11:57] <swarog> crimsun: its ncurses thing. how does it look when its muted?
[11:57] <hjmills> how do i exclude a dir and all its contents from rsync?
[11:57] <mnoir> JamesG: each client may have shortcuts - for instance, mine automatically makes channel names joinable by clicking.  the freenode.org site should have a guide
[11:57] <hairulfr> adaptr: Loopmount_
[11:57] <hairulfr> ?
[11:57] <swarog> crimsun: ah amixer hmm
[11:57] <adaptr> hairulfr: yes, it is an option to mount a file
[11:58] <swarog> crimsun: Master -> Front Left: Playback 27 [90%]  [on] 
[11:58] <adaptr> hairulfr: man mount and look for the "loop" option
[11:58] <swarog> crimsun: 90%
[11:58] <swarog> crimsun:
[11:58] <swarog> crimsun: ?
[11:58] <aninhumer> adaptr, I think I've found it thx (sry for being n00b)
[11:58] <hairulfr> adaptr:  Nice one, cheers adaptr
[11:58] <juano__> i cant play cds in audicious, anyone knows why??
[11:58] <juano__> it just plays but with no volume
[11:59] <adaptr> aninhumer: yes ? so what was it called again ? (more people might want to know)
[11:59] <adaptr> juano__: do you have audio *at all* ?
[11:59] <aninhumer> adaptr, "fnfxd" is a package for toshiba laptops
[11:59] <adaptr> aninhumer: ah.. not the one I was thinking of, but there you go, then :)
[11:59] <crimsun> swarog: look at /proc/asound/version
[12:00] <leobloo1> hallo guys, can I ask you something?
[12:00] <juano__> adaptr: yea i can play audio cds with every other program, i can play everything and sound works great except in audicious with audio cd tracks, it just starts playing but with no volume
[12:00] <swarog> crimsun: not the version ive installed
[12:00] <adaptr> juano__: so maybe that app has no digital CD audio support ?
[12:00] <EnsignRedshirt> leobloo1: No need to ask for permission, just ask.
[12:00] <lovloss> leobloo1: always
[12:00] <Pommie> Shaezsche : Put those two commands into separate ".sh" text files on your desktop, with a line before them that says "#!/bin/sh" (no quotes).
[12:00] <JamesG> Right, in case anyone cares, the following worked: /ignore * JOINS PARTS QUITS
