[12:01] <Pommie> radioaktivstorm : is the windows and linux machine sharing the same network?
[12:01] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, my friend and i are playing with my linux box as a server, but we were having problems accessing after i installed apache php and mysql
[12:01] <pillowmintz> no i use a compaq presario v2000
[12:01] <pillowmintz> i believe it is
[12:01] <emokid> ah well, love to stick around, but my update just finished
[12:01] <emokid> need to reboot
[12:01] <radioaktivstorm> Pommie they are both on the MITNET
[12:01] <pillowmintz> yes  a v2000
[12:02] <radioaktivstorm> Pommie, i think they are also on the same dorm network
[12:02] <Vigo_> !pastebin
[12:02] <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)
[12:02] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: i do not usually associate those apps with file sharing - more description - are you guessing?  trying to set up easier diagnosing?  what?
[12:03] <Pommie> radioaktivstorm : So in other words, you can't trust the network. You need* to use something that offers decent security. (*unless you like getting your box hacked)
[12:03] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, basically we are trying to create a site served off of my box for testing, but i dont have a whole lot of experience in setting up servers
[12:04] <radioaktivstorm> Pommie, Yes, i would rather not get hacked....:P umm so should i be using SSH?
[12:04] <GionnyBoss> hi all
[12:04] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: it sounds like ftp might be more appropriate as it is usually used for uploading to a web server
[12:04] <mozart> hi all
[12:05] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: generally techniques involving ssh are most secure
[12:05] <emss> mnoir: you can use scp/sftp
[12:05] <GionnyBoss> how can I change the name of a partition? I mean, when I mount my 2nd hd, I have a desktop shortcut with the partition name... I'd like to change it. How can I do it, please?
[12:05] <Pommie> radioaktivstorm : here's why ftp is considered a bad idea -- the username/password is typically sent unencrypted in order to log in. This is why most people suggest SSH to transfer files, unless you actually need an FTP service.
[12:05] <alex31> bluetooth serial pot
[12:05] <alex31> port
[12:05] <emss> ssh is the best
[12:05] <Vigo_> Could OpenVPN be of help?
[12:06] <radioaktivstorm> Pommie, thanks....would SSH be a viable option for sending files to my machine( which is to be used as a test server)
[12:06] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: as I originally mentioned, scp (using putty or cygwin) is probably a strong candidate
[12:06] <pillowmintz> *restart*
[12:06] <Pommie> radioaktivstorm : SSH is *always* a viable option. ;)
[12:07] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: ssh is the general mechanism but scp or sftp are the actual file xfer programs
[12:07] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, ok thanks!
[12:07] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, so how do i set that up?
[12:07] <Pommie> radioaktivstorm, what mnoir said.
[12:07] <Pommie> !ssh | radioaktivstorm
[12:07] <ubotu> radioaktivstorm: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:07] <radioaktivstorm> Pommie, cool  :)
[12:07] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: i have all of this working on my test net - so come back with plans and questions
[12:07] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: one more thing
[12:08] <tuskernini> QUESTION: can anyone print photos with a Samsung 1610 printir?
[12:08] <da_dudadi> Can anybody help me install gcc_4.2.0?
[12:08] <Pommie> !cups | tuskernini
[12:08] <ubotu> tuskernini: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[12:08] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, gotcha thank you very much
[12:08] <Pommie> da_dudadi : apt-get install gcc
[12:08] <tuskernini> Pommie, in know... but it does not print photos or pdf files.. got the pdf problem sorted after installing adobe reader
[12:08] <aaddgg> I just connectred a usb webcam to my laptop
[12:09] <aaddgg> how do I make it work?
[12:09] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: good luck - this is not hard to set up - just verify your security
[12:09] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: after all - it IS MIT
[12:09] <tuskernini> aaddgg, mine just worked...
[12:09] <soundray> !webcam | aaddgg
[12:09] <ubotu> aaddgg: webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[12:09] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, gooooood point :P lol
[12:09] <lontra> how do i make my firefox fonts look like they do on the cd?  they look crappy when installed
[12:09] <tuskernini> aaddgg, try and install camorama webcam viewer to test it
[12:09] <Pommie> tuskernini : You should be able to dump any postscript file to cups and it'll print. What sort of problems are you having?
[12:09] <kf4ebp> need a way to change the default soundcard. I have pulled a kaput sound blaster out and want to go back to the built in soundcard. The gnome tools are not working.
[12:10] <Vigo_> I am going back to see how this works, Thank you kindly
[12:10] <tuskernini> Pommie, i can print docs and files... just not photos... probably translates the data wrong to the printer?
[12:10] <aaddgg> "could not connect to /dev/video0" <-- when trying camorama ; the usb device is plugged in
[12:10] <enaut> what is wrong if gpart always states seekfailure when i try to run it?
[12:11] <Pommie> tuskernini : What type of image file?  jpg?
[12:11] <da_dudadi> I am having an issue running graalexe.. I keep getting an error, "owner@owner-desktop:~$ graalexe

[12:11] <tuskernini> Pommie, yes.
[12:11] <stacey23f> Hi!  I have a D-Link Wireless card, based on an Atheros chipset.   The card works fine in kubuntu, I assume it is using the madwifi drivers.   However I wish to reconfigure the interface, and the wlanconf command isn't being found.   Is this file not in my path by default?   Or do I need to do something special to install it?  I'm new to ubuntu (and linux).  Any help would be great.
[12:11] <tuskernini> Pommie, i also tried it in GIMP... no luck
[12:11] <Pommie> tuskernini : And what program are you using to print with? Gimp?
[12:12] <zYe> can someone help me install java compiler cause all the documentation i am getting isnt working (most likely im doing it wrong) or something
[12:12] <Pommie> Did you check the cups wiki to see if your printer is compatible?
[12:12] <tuskernini> Pommie, i tried in normal viewer and in gThumb
[12:12] <Pommie> tuskernini : You checked the compatibility list though, right?
[12:12] <tuskernini> for my printer... ? it has native drivers...
[12:13] <tuskernini> samsung 1610

[12:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:13] <lontra> how do i make my firefox fonts look like they do on the cd?  they look crappy when installed
[12:13] <erisco> does ubuntu support Hercules Prophet cards?
[12:13] <tuskernini> Pommie, or it is in the list when i add printer
[12:13] <soundray> tuskernini: have you checked for errror messages in /var/log/cups/ ?
[12:13] <tuskernini> Pommie, will do
[12:13] <erisco> specifically it is a Hercules Prophet 4000XT PCI
[12:14] <Pommie> !hercules
[12:14] <ubotu> hercules: System/370, ESA/390 and z/Architecture Emulator. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.03.1-1 (edgy), package size 2210 kB, installed size 7732 kB
[12:14] <erisco> c'est bon. Merci Pommie.
[12:14] <Pommie> Apparently the wrong Hercules. :-P
[12:14] <TheDebugger> erisco: Probably with the nvidia/ati driver ( Depends what chip your card has )
[12:15] <Pommie> erisco : I don't think you want to use that unless you're trying to emulate big iron. ;)
[12:15] <erisco> TheDebugger, looks like I'll just have to find out. Hehe.
[12:15] <tuskernini> Pommie, foomatic-rip stops wit error 9!
[12:15] <tuskernini> Pommie, but that was with the pdf try i think
[12:15] <erisco> Pommie, oh, you never know.
[12:15] <Pommie> tuskernini : That's pretty odd. I couldn't see them adding your printer into the list if it didn't support graphics ability.
[12:16] <riotkittie> :o
[12:16] <Pommie> tuskernini : I'd try removing the cups package and reinstalling it. Couldn't hurt.
[12:16] <tuskernini> Pommie, i think i once could print photos...
[12:16] <tuskernini> Pommie, o the whole cups... i just did the printer... haha windows trick
[12:16] <da_dudadi> Pommie, would you mind assisting me install GCC_4.2.0?  The reason why I need GCC_4.2.0 is because I am attempting to run a program and I get this error "/usr/bin/graal: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/bin/graal)"
[12:17] <riotkittie> oh that reminds me, i need to see if i can get my printer going.
[12:17] <tuskernini> Pommie, ok i ma gonna do it..
[12:17] <erisco> !kyro
[12:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kyro - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:17] <erisco> does ubuntu support the kyro chipset?
[12:17] <Pommie> da_dudadi : Is there any reason you need 4.2.0 in particular?
[12:18] <Claudemi1> good night guys
[12:18] <da_dudadi> Pommie, It will not run a particular program (graal) without GCC_4.2.0
[12:18] <riotkittie> nite, Claudemi1
[12:18] <madcheeze> whaddup... im baaaack
[12:18] <erisco> (I have a feeling the kyro chipset is not supported)
[12:18] <stacey23f> I have a D-Link Wireless card, based on an Atheros chipset.   The card works fine in kubuntu, I assume it is using the madwifi drivers.   However I wish to reconfigure the interface, and the wlanconf command isn't being found.   Is this file not in my path by default?   Or is there a specific package that contains wlanconf that i need to install?  I'm new to ubuntu (and linux).  Any help would be great.
[12:18] <madcheeze> erisco: im not sure... have you looked at ubuntuguide.og?
[12:18] <riotkittie> !hardware
[12:18] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:18] <madcheeze> ubuntuguide.org
[12:19] <erisco> stacey23f, D-link is very flaky. First mistake IMO.
[12:19] <Pommie> da_dudadi : Where are you getting 4.2.0 from?  It's not in the standard Edgy install.
[12:19] <Claudemi1> i installed ubuntu 6.10 for plataform x86_64
[12:19] <riotkittie> erisco: check that link :P
[12:19] <erisco> riotkittie, that list seems very incomplete...
[12:19] <madcheeze> so, do most of you people keep your build up to date, or once you got it running do you not update?
[12:19] <riotkittie> erisco: ah. i havent checked it myself <g>
[12:20] <pillowmintz> when trying to do my wireless connection following this tutorial (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809) - on the3rd step i get this error : ERROR: Module bcm43xx does not exist in /proc/modules ; whats this mean?
[12:20] <pillowmintz> how can i fix it?
[12:20] <erisco> riotkittie, what a stroke of luck! Out of two supported kyro cards, the one we have is one of them. ha!
[12:20] <erisco> riotkittie, (it is a really crappy card too...)
[12:21] <madcheeze> do you guys keep your ubuntu up to date once you have it running well, or do you leave it alone?
[12:21] <Pommie> madcheeze : I mostly stick to the standard Edgy with Universe distro.
[12:21] <madcheeze> ah
[12:21] <madcheeze> Pommie: so you dont update?
[12:21] <Claudemi1> but i m not success in installation flash for my Web browser(firefox)
[12:21] <Pommie> madcheeze : I update, of course... but I don't tend to go beyond the regular security fixes unless there's some very desperate reason.
[12:21] <madcheeze> Pommie: i mean when the auto updates thingie comes up in the corner, do you do it? or do you not do it?
[12:21] <madcheeze> ah
[12:22] <madcheeze> Pommie: thanks
[12:22] <da_dudadi> Pommie, ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/mirror/languages/gcc/snapshots/LATEST-4.2/gcc-4.2-20070110.tar.bz2
[12:22] <Claudemi1> because i m not find flash for x86_64
[12:22] <riotkittie> weeeeeee.
[12:22] <madcheeze> Claudemi1: i dont know if there is a flash install for x64
[12:22] <Claudemi1> can i help me? :0)
[12:22] <soundray> pillowmintz: you can ignore that error.
[12:22] <Pommie> da_dudadi : You're asking for a whole world of hurt.
[12:22] <madcheeze> Claudemi1: try installing the 32 bit extension of it
[12:22] <soundray> pillowmintz: rmmod is for unloading a module. Since you haven't got it loaded, there is no need to unload.
[12:23] <pillowmintz> soundray - ok thank you.
[12:23] <Claudemi1> madcheeze: the plugin flash?
[12:23] <riotkittie> stacey23f: can you not configure it through ifconfig?  >disclaimer - i am completely clueless re: networking<
[12:23] <madcheeze> Claudemi1: yep...
[12:23] <da_dudadi> Pommie, What do you mean?
[12:23] <madcheeze> Claudemi1: use the one that comes with firefox..
[12:23] <madcheeze> so, use firefox to download it and install it
[12:23] <Pommie> da_dudadi : Here's the thing... ubuntu is good because it walks the fine line between being rolled together with packages that are pretty good at working together...
[12:24] <soundray> da_dudadi: I agree with pommie
[12:24] <mads-> I just downloaded Flash v 9 from apt-get, but it doesn't overwrite my old v 7.. How can I make it do that?
[12:24] <soundray> da_dudadi: installing an alpha quality gcc from scratch is not for the timid.
[12:24] <da_dudadi> Pommie, Is GCC really needed?
[12:24] <Claudemi1> thanks brother....how I install firefox 32 bits for ubuntu?
[12:24] <madcheeze> mads-: sudo apt-get install current version
[12:24] <Pommie> da_dudadi : there's some parts that I generally stay away from doing by hand, and gcc is one of them. There's just TOO MUCH interdependancy between it and all the other installed packages.
[12:25] <riotkittie> breakage. yaaaaaaaaay.
[12:25] <Pommie> riotkittie : Yes. Breakage. Boo.
[12:25] <riotkittie> everyone should experience dependency hell at least once.
[12:25] <Claudemi1> hmmm...
[12:25] <da_dudadi> Pommie, isn't there a way that I can just change the version within the config file, that way I can run the program i need to run?
[12:25] <madcheeze> Claudemi1: its been a while since i had a 64 bit version of ubuntu, but for some reason i believe it gives you an option of the version, and if not, go to the flash site and download it from there...
[12:25] <Bizzeh> hey, if i have windows on the 1st 100gb of my hdd, and install ubuntu to the 2nd 100gb, if i install grub to mbr, can i still chainload xp?
[12:25] <Pommie> da_dudadi : gcc is the GNU C Compiler. You need it of you're building stuff from source, and if something needs the libraries it uses.
[12:26] <sleepy745> whats the apt-get command to download and install firefox 2.0?
[12:26] <guerrillawon> For wine I'm trying to switch to the directory Program Files in terminal, but it's cutting off after Program due to the space and not accessing the folder, anyway around this?
[12:26] <cas3> !wpa_supplicant
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wpa_supplicant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:26] <madcheeze> sleepy745: sudo apt-get install firefox
[12:26] <soundray> Claudemi1: to install firefox32 in amd64, look at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[12:26] <sleepy745> thank
[12:26] <riotkittie> guerrillawon: use quotation marks. or ... the\ directory\ name\ like\ so
[12:26] <Pommie> da_dudadi : You can try, if you're compiling the code yourself. If it's a precompiled binary of what you're trying to install, no.
[12:26] <mads-> madcheeze: Should I write that exactly in terminal? :S
[12:26] <madcheeze> Claudemi1: look at what soundray put up... that is correct
[12:26] <soundray> Bizzeh: yes you can
[12:27] <Claudemi1> ok, thanks ...i go to try
[12:27] <guerrillawon> I'll try thanks riot you're always a great help.

[12:29] <ubernoob> hi guys.
[12:29] <Bizzeh> does ubuntu support the rt2500 wireless chipset under dualcore cpu's?
[12:29] <Bizzeh> (last time i checked (about 6 months ago) it didnt)
[12:29] <Pommie> da_dudadi : That library file will have other dependancies. You'll be spending hours/days tracking all the dependancies doe.
[12:30] <Pommie> *down
[12:30] <thinh> the live cd works well and set the correct resolution for my external monitor
[12:30] <madcheeze> Bizzeh: im not sure, i am using the integrated wireless in my notebook and it works like a charm.
[12:30] <tuskernini> Pommie, dont have one... will see what i do.. thanx
[12:30] <ubernoob> any tips for osmeone new to linux thinking about installing ubuntu
[12:30] <Bizzeh> ill try anyway
[12:30] <mnoir> ubernoob: how many days do you have?
[12:30] <soundray> ubernoob: good choice
[12:30] <madcheeze> ubernoob: get the live cd and see what hardware works... before you do anything
[12:30] <Pommie> tuskernini : I'm assuming that you're running a long USB cable, like, >6ft
[12:31] <radioaktivstorm> mseney, thanks
[12:31] <ubernoob> mnoir: I have many days =P
[12:31] <madcheeze> ubernoob: make sure the internet will be able to work because you will need it to answer questions
[12:31] <thinh> what is the command for reconfiguring x windows>?
[12:31] <riyonuk> Is frostwire in the repositories?
[12:31] <ubernoob> i have a desktop i wanna put it on my laptop

[12:31] <mnoir> ubernoob:  then try it and see.......
[12:31] <madcheeze> ubernoob: get the live cd
[12:31] <mseney> radioaktivstorm, np hope that helps
[12:31] <malex> Hi. Why does apt tell me that there is no "cmake" package in edgy? I have only the main ubuntu archive in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:31] <ubernoob> madcheeze: will do
[12:31] <thinh> i want to be able to reset my xconfig for my docking station

[12:32] <thinh> i think thats why it shows up black on my external monitor
[12:32] <malex> soundray: What source line should I use for universe please?
[12:33] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, i successfully logged on from my friends computer using ssh

[12:33] <thinh> is there a way for ubuntu auto detect the resolution
[12:33] <webmaren> i'm getting hiccups when playing music in bmp through esd
[12:33] <soundray> malex: the comments in /etc/apt/sources.list should also help

[12:34] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, i have not tried fix xfer yet...
[12:34] <thinh> exit
[12:34] <madcheeze> is there a better alternative than amule?
[12:34] <malex> soundray: There were no comments - it's a pbuilder chroot. I just didn't realise that universe was a branch in the main archive. Thanks.
[12:34] <Pommie> humboldt : Someone will likely correct me on this, but why don't you just save the space and have them all using the same swap?
[12:35] <ubernoob> hmm all the downloads i find seem to be for the cd image
[12:35] <tuskernini> Pommie, i used my scanner ... shorter cable... no luck
[12:35] <soundray> Pommie: because when dapper swaps, it'll overwrite edgy's suspend image etc.
[12:35] <madcheeze> ubernoob: you want the dvd image?
[12:35] <ubernoob> is that the liveCD or am i just totally missing the link
[12:35] <riotkittie> ubernoob: thats the live cd.
[12:35] <soundray> tuskernini: which software are you using to send your jpg to the printer?
[12:36] <ubernoob> k
[12:36] <Pommie> soundray : Oh, he's suspending. Durrr... right.
[12:36] <humboldt> Pommie: well isn't that obvious. I am takling about suspend/resume. So the answer is, so I can suspend the one OS and resume the other, without destroying anything
[12:36] <tuskernini> eye of gnome
[12:36] <moocowmoocowmoo> Has anyone had success using cron in edgy 6.10?
[12:36] <tuskernini> but as i said.. i also tried gimp and gthumb
[12:36] <tuskernini> Pommie, but as i said.. i also tried gimp and gthumb
[12:36] <soundray> tuskernini: I always use OOo Draw -- best results so far.
[12:36] <Lynoure> humboldt: If they do not share the same swap, it tends to work fine
[12:37] <Pommie> tuskernini : I'm really not sure what to say. I have a networked laser printer; it has it's own IP address. I don't have these issues. :-P
[12:37] <Lynoure> humboldt: oh, not with suspend
[12:37] <ubernoob> so do i uninstall windows before i put in the livecd ?
[12:37] <Lynoure> humboldt: with hibernate.
[12:37] <riyonuk> ubernoob, nope :p
[12:37] <mnoir> ubernoob: no need
[12:37] <soundray> ubernoob: no
[12:37] <ubernoob> cool
[12:37] <riotkittie> ubernoob: no. heh.
[12:37] <ubernoob> sorry i live up to my name for once
[12:37] <soundray> ubernoob: the live CD is so you can test without changing your existing setup
[12:37] <ubernoob> ah, gotcha
[12:38] <pillowmintz> i finally got my wireless card to work!  but - its blinking and not really getting a connection i guess?  how can i stop this from blinking and working permanently?
[12:38] <ubernoob> 698 mb sound right?
[12:38] <soundray> ubernoob: yes
[12:38] <Lynoure> humboldt: suspend only keeps things in memory, so booting another OS would just happily write over that, hibernate writes to disk (swap in case of Ubuntu), so that works fine.
[12:38] <Atom-> its alive and spits fire
[12:38] <tuskernini> soundray, i dont have draw.. maby it is just not in the menu
[12:38] <moocowmoocowmoo> Has cron changed in edgy 6.10?
[12:38] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, my friend really wants to use a graphical interface for the xfer...the other issue is how would i let him access my computer but not necessarily via my username and pass? i understand that i can make another account, but I am wondering will he be able to access /vars/www  (the location of the apache stuff)
[12:38] <soundray> tuskernini: open Writer and select File - New - Drawing or whatever
[12:38] <humboldt> Lynoure: ya ya ya
[12:39] <ubernoob> and a few other questions... is there a good torrent client for use with linux? or do most work?
[12:39] <tuskernini> soundray, aha... ofcourse
[12:39] <madcheeze> does anyone have a better alternative to amule?
[12:39] <madcheeze> ubernoob: there are so many torrent clients in linux.. its not even funny
[12:40] <soundray> moocowmoocowmoo: yes, cron is one of the things that were replaced by upstart
[12:40] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: you can give him access to /var/www easily enough using linux security permissions/ groups etc
[12:40] <humboldt> Lynoure: the naming for this topic sucks! It is called swsusp now. So I would say suspend. I would call the other suspend to ram or S3 or SLEEP.
[12:40] <humboldt> Anyhwo
[12:40] <humboldt> Anyhow, does anybody have an answer to my question?
[12:40] <madcheeze> humboldt: sorry, i didnt see it
[12:40] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: as far as gui scp, i do not know one for win - maybe winscp?
[12:40] <Lynoure> humboldt: Topic? What topic?
[12:40] <pillowmintz> my wireless cards light is blinking ... how can i get it to stop and work properly?
[12:41] <Lynoure> humboldt: I think I just gave you one, which was "no"
[12:41] <soundray> humboldt: you have to tell each installation which resume partition to use
[12:41] <shwag> where do I export a variable if I want it to be available system wide for all users ?
[12:41] <seshomaru> hi , anyone knows if i can download a package directly from a repository using a browser?
[12:41] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: you want to give him all of /var/www?
[12:41] <mac2612> hi, I have multiple soundcards in my PC. I can see them all in mixer, but the wrong soundcard is being controlled with my keyboard shortcut. How do I change that link?
[12:41] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: i would think that it would blink because its always checking...
[12:41] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: i may be wrong..
[12:41] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: i am sure one exists btw - just do not know it
[12:41] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: is that bad? shouldnt it just be solid?
[12:41] <tuskernini> soundray, does not want to work... i am gonna export as pdf... maybe that works
[12:41] <soundray> seshomaru: sure
[12:41] <riotkittie> my card constanhly blinks, even when i do have  a connect.
[12:42] <seshomaru> soundray, how?
[12:42] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: no, wireless is never solid... its always on and off looking for a better signal
[12:42] <moocowmoocowmoo> Does cron work differently in edgy 6.10 than in 6.06?
[12:42] <unvs_> i set up courier-imapd and everything worked just peachy, i could telnet in from my local network just fine - then i rebooted and now it only allows connects from localhost/127.0.0.1 .. any idea what this could be?
[12:42] <soundray> seshomaru: what package are you looking for?
[12:42] <zYe> can ANYONE help me install java SDK and compiler pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee
[12:42] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, i honestly have no idea how to work apache; he's tweaking the server stuff; im designing the clientside stuff (ie the html javascript and php stuff)
[12:42] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : Nope. Should be the same.
[12:42] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok - so is there a way i can test that the wireless is actually working? because i tried unplugging the cord and it didnt recognize a connection or anything ...
[12:42] <seshomaru> soundray, langage-pack-en
[12:42] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : I don't think Cron has changed in, like, years. :-P
[12:42] <moocowmoocowmoo> Pommie: Have you gotten it to work on 6.10?
[12:43] <humboldt> soundray: tnx, that's what I thought. Not much work anyway.
[12:43] <riotkittie> unplugging what cord?
[12:43] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: there is a command to see whether its up or not... gimme a sec and i will get it
[12:43] <pillowmintz> the ethernet cord
[12:43] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, perhaps i have a little reading to do about apache? :P
[12:43] <riotkittie> ifconfig ?
[12:43] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: if he knows apache - he can specify all the right stuff - apache config can do amazing rhings
[12:43] <pillowmintz> only eth0 and lo come up with ifconfig
[12:43] <seshomaru> soundray, language-pack-en new version 1:6:06 +20061130
[12:43] <riotkittie> type sudo ifconfig ath0 up
[12:43] <pillowmintz> but if i do iwconfig - the eth1 comes up with info...
[12:43] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : there's a few crons that are available for Linux. You're using which one?
[12:43] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: iwlist eth1 scan
[12:44] <pillowmintz> no scan results
[12:44] <TLE> anybody ever heard of a cp command with progress report, for copying large files. I thought I once heard that gentoo had a modified version coreutils that included that, but that doesn't seem to be tha case anymore.
[12:44] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: if you want him in his own box, consider a virtual domain, perhaps with a docroot in his own home directory
[12:44] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: ifconfig
[12:44] <moocowmoocowmoo> Pommie: I can't get a shell script to execute in cron, I've tried crontab -e, putting the file in /etc/cron.hourly and also putting entries in /etc/crontab
[12:44] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, this sounds interesting...how would i set that up?\
[12:44] <superdug> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype  <-- I'm curious as to how that "works" ... is it more or less similar to the old zipslack ?
[12:44] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: it depends on yer intentions
[12:44] <moocowmoocowmoo> Pommie: Using whatever default one comes with ubuntu
[12:44] <pillowmintz> resulted: eth0 eth1 lo
[12:44] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: virt dom?
[12:44] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : The shell script is executable (chmod a+x) ?
[12:45] <TLE> zYe: You got Java ?
[12:45] <soundray> seshomaru: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-en/
[12:45] <moocowmoocowmoo> Pommie: Yes and it runs fine when I run it manually
[12:45] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: cron seems to work ok for me. What problems do you have?
[12:45] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: which eth is your wireless?
[12:45] <seshomaru> soundray, many thanks
[12:45] <pillowmintz> should be eth1
[12:45] <pillowmintz> thats what iwconfig said
[12:45] <ricky1234567890> I cant get my bcm4318 wirelesscard working. I have one hour using ubuntu
[12:45] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir, yeah the virtual domain how would i do that? and could he still have access to all the stuff for apache
[12:45] <radioaktivstorm> ?
[12:45] <madcheeze> then the cmd is sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[12:45] <zYe> tle: i have java sdk.bin and i think they said it comes with a compiler
[12:45] <pillowmintz> ok
[12:45] <moocowmoocowmoo> Pommie: I just can't get it to run this script... I asked if it was a problem in 6.10 because someone responded on the forum that they couldn't get theres to work in 6.10
[12:45] <ricky1234567890> What should I do:(
[12:46] <mnoir> radioaktivstorm: if by stuff, you mean all the facilities of the web server, yes
[12:46] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : What entry did you put into the /etc/crontab file?
[12:46] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: see if that brings it up
[12:46] <zYe> i can install the bin in terminal, but i cant do anything with it
[12:46] <tuskernini> soundray, no luck... aahh!!!
[12:46] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: have you put your $PATH at the top of your crontab entry?
[12:46] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : (or whichever period cron.weekly, etc)
[12:46] <EchoBinary> i recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17.10-386, and my xorg broke - it is because it uninstalled my nvidia-glx
[12:46] <soundray> tuskernini: maybe it's a printer memory issue?
[12:46] <TLE> zYe: Java is in the repositories now. Just enable alle the repo's and install it with synaptic or apt-get

[12:47] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : Shouldn't have to have the 'sh' there.

[12:47] <riotkittie> uh. anyone know off hand if its possible to check battery level from the CLI ? :P and if so, how ?
[12:47] <moocowmoocowmoo> Pommie: I've tried without the sh too... didn't work so someone suggested I try that
[12:47] <zYe> whats the program called
[12:47] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : Also, check the ownership of the script, make sure it's owned by root
[12:48] <TLE> zYe: 2 sec

[12:48] <Pommie> chown 0.0 /usr/bin/backup
[12:48] <madcheeze> ok, now you have to enable that in networking
[12:49] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo: chown 0.0 /usr/bin/backup

[12:50] <kleber> any help ?
[12:51] <radioaktivstorm> mnoir?
[12:51] <mnoir> i suggested pm to continue?
[12:51] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: I did without "-u" and "root"
[12:51] <madcheeze> kleber: sorry, i dont know anything about it
[12:51] <Pommie> mcphail : If you're editing the file under sudo, you don't really need to pretend to edit it as root. :-P
[12:51] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Just did sudo crontab -e
[12:51] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: i think crontab sometimes gets confused without adding that
[12:51] <kleber> madcheeze: thanks..
[12:51] <mnoir> kleber: you might have better luck in #ubuntu-br for this :)
[12:52] <mcphail> Pommie: not true for crontab. It sometimes uses the users UID
[12:52] <moocowmoocowmoo> I'll try that
[12:52] <Pommie> mcphail : More true if you're non-root, not so much as root.
[12:52] <Mazin> how do I reconfigure X?
[12:52] <pillowmintz> wow stupid irc
[12:52] <pillowmintz> madcheeze still here to help?
[12:52] <Pommie> mcphail : Then again, i edit with VI, not the crontab command. ;)
[12:52] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: go into system, networking, then enable the wireless
[12:53] <kleber> mnoir: I tried but the people there dont help me today... better lucky next time...
[12:53] <pillowmintz> it is enabled
[12:53] <pillowmintz> now

[12:53] <mnoir> kleber: sorry - i do not know

[12:53] <pillowmintz> im not sure

[12:53] <kleber> mnoir, no problem, thanks
[12:53] <Pommie> mcphail : Conformist. :-P
[12:53] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: you have to, and give it a second to take it
[12:53] <ricky1234567890> I cant get my broadcom wireless card working
[12:53] <mnoir> kleber: us pl are often ignorant of international issues :)

[12:56] <madcheeze> ok
[12:56] <Pommie> moocowmoocowmoo : Well, as mcphail has pointed out... he/you use the actual crontab command to edit a root crontab. I never do that for root, only regular users.
[12:56] <madcheeze> the essid has to be the network name you have

[12:58] <guibrown> I'm sorry, but what is the Ubuntu Brazilian Chanel in Freenode ?!?

[01:00] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: you arent picking up a wireless signal then, and its probably because you are not broadcasting your network name
[01:01] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: so if i delete the wep key it should work, yes?
[01:01] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im not sure how to configure wep with ubuntu, and finding the essid should be as easy as looking in your router and getting the network name

[01:01] <moocowmoocowmoo> chown 0.0 /usr/bin/backup
[01:01] <fr0sted> The problem is not just there only. when i open proccess table of kde, the table doesnt show any entry and at the bottom i see: 8888888 Processes , Memory: 8888888 , Swap: 8888888 and so on, that happens after the effect of the sound. Neither does the ps -x command work, only top shows me some results. When trying to open kdetv again after that problem i get the message on gui: Unable to grab video . Video display is not possible with the curre
[01:01] <fr0sted> nt plugin configuration (although i am always runing V4L2 . The point is that i am using v4l2 normaly.
[01:02] <odla> how do i make fonts for firefox for the installed version look like they do on the livecd?
[01:02] <lolcano> can anyone answer a question for me?
[01:02] <soundray> tim167: you can specify an age range. Try e.g. "find $HOME -mtime +2 -mtime -4 | xargs ls -l'
[01:02] <fr0sted>  now, i did try to run kdetv from console and saw a specific error that i guess it could help. kdetv: WARNING: KXvDevice::init(): Unable to grab Xv port.

[01:02] <compsman> my sound wont work any more

[01:02] <Flannel> fr0sted: you might get better results in #kubuntu
[01:02] <camerong> can anyone help me with my sound?
[01:02] <tim167> soundray: perfect! thanks !

[01:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about inittab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:02] <charlesg3> Pommie, yes thanks, I was blanking
[01:02] <fr0sted> okie
[01:02] <riotkittie> camerong: i am useless when it comes to hardware issues, but ... when you type lspci at a prompt, does the card show?
[01:03] <lolcano> Can anyone tell me if ubuntu plays nicely with macs?
[01:03] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: have you put a blank line at the end of your crontab?
[01:03] <tim167> soundray man find is quite a long read :-p
[01:03] <user-land> Hello, from time to time Xorg starts to eat up all CPU.
[01:03] <soundray> tim167: commensurate with its power ;)
[01:03] <lolcano> Can anyone tell me if ubuntu plays nicely with macs?
[01:03] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: In crontab -e?
[01:03] <camerong> riotkittie: high definition audio controller. thanks anyways i gtg..
[01:03] <soundray> lolcano: don't repeat pls
[01:03] <user-land> Until now that stopped when i quit Firefox.
[01:03] <soundray> lolcano: at least not at this rate
[01:03] <user-land> But now it persists.
[01:03] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: in whatever way you created it?
[01:04] <lolcano> soundray, well I need an answer...
[01:04] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: did you figure out the router?
[01:04] <user-land> Do you see that happening too and is there anything i can do short of log-out ?
[01:04] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: No blank line
[01:04] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: no im not sure what im looking for.  the id of the router is "queenie" -- is that what you mean?
[01:04] <EchoBinary> ubotu: id did not work
[01:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about id did not work - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:04] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: insert one
[01:04] <moocowmoocowmoo> ok
[01:04] <EchoBinary> oh - heh
[01:04] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: no, the name of the network is broadcast wirelessly so you have to find the network name
[01:04] <riotkittie> user-land: is it Xorg itself or something in Xorg  ?
[01:04] <soundray> lolcano: older Macs work with the ppc architecture, Intel ones can be made to work with bootcamp in principle, but ymmv.
[01:05] <soundray> lolcano: there are some installation reports on the web.
[01:05] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: i have just been reading the "BUGS" section of the manpage...
[01:05] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: most times, with windows, the pc will label it windows, or home. i configured mine... so mine is personal
[01:05] <lolcano> i don't mean ubuntu ON a mac, i mean will it work in a network, because SuSe, for instance, is not recognizing (or being recognized by) my mac
[01:06] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok. how can i find out mine? do i need to go into the router admin panel?
[01:06] <lolcano> as in, i have a mac and ubuntu machine on my network... will they be able to communicate easily
[01:06] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Ahhh I see what you're looking at... maybe that'll do it
[01:06] <madcheeze> pillow im not sure, maybe mnoir knows how to find that one out... i dont know the cmd
[01:06] <Pommie> lolcano : Perhaps better than a Windows on the same network. A Mac is UNIX based.
[01:07] <user-land> riotkittie: 4269 root      25   0  359m  44m  11m R 74.6  4.4   1076:58 Xorg
[01:07] <soundray> lolcano: Mac OS X can share files and mount remote directories via CIFS, so it can access a samba server.
[01:07] <pillowmintz> mnoir here to help me? =] 
[01:07] <riotkittie> oog.
[01:07] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: i think he just left
[01:07] <lolcano> thanks, because for some reason, SuSe isn't recognizing it...
[01:07] <pillowmintz> nooooooooo
[01:07] <zYe> TLE: i did install the java pack from the repo
[01:07] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: give me a minute, i will look it up

[01:08] <jonah> i'm trying to get darkice working but i don't know what my alsa device is (hw:0,0?) how do i figure it out?
[01:09] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: here is what mine brought up
[01:09] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1886/
[01:09] <mzuverink> In gdm, session chooser I have a entry for foo.  What do I need to edit to remove that offending entry?
[01:09] <zYe> bruenig that dosnt really explain anything to me
[01:10] <bruenig> zYe, actually I just tuned in, didn't you say you needed the jdk?
[01:10] <moocowmoocowmoo> How do I check root's email?
[01:10] <soundray> prags2626: not off the top of my head, but check this out:

[01:10] <zYe> no i have everything
[01:10] <prags2626> great thanks !!!! :)
[01:10] <TLE> zYe: if you have installed the jdk package the compiler should be at the commandline as "javac"
[01:10] <zYe> but i downloaded the java jdk demo pack thing
[01:10] <madcheeze> can someone tell me the command to get the essid of the networks around me?
[01:10] <bruenig> zYe, javac then right?
[01:10] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: put a line "MAILTO=yourusername" at the top of root's crontab entry
[01:11] <trinitrogen> Whats the best way to burn .img files?
[01:11] <zYe> lemme see
[01:11] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: my iwlist eth1 scan isnt returning any results ...
[01:11] <zYe> oh my
[01:11] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im wondering if you actually enabled the wireless, did you check the little box to the left of the network and let it enable?
[01:11] <soundray> prags2626: I think you'll be disappointed, though. It's not a strong area for Linux.
[01:11] <stacey23f> When I try to use wlanconf to reconfigure my Atheros based WLAN card, I get "command not found."   Is this file contained within a package that I may be missing?  or is it simply just not in my path?
[01:11] <deafboy> anyone playin BC WoW?
[01:11] <zYe> so the compiler is the terminal?
[01:12] <zYe> its not a gui?
[01:12] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: yes i did.  ill screenshot what my network box looks like?
[01:12] <bruenig> zYe, it is command line
[01:12] <Flannel> zYe: correct.  Why would you need a GUI to compile?
[01:12] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: yea do so...
[01:12] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: ...or add the line root: youruser to /etc/aliases
[01:12] <soundray> trinitrogen: probably with k3b
[01:12] <zYe> because im from windows
[01:12] <deafboy> anyone playin bc world of warcraft with wine?
[01:12] <bruenig> trinitrogen, is it cd or dvd?
[01:12] <prags2626> soundray, yeah, i thought so
[01:12] <zYe> and this stuff is really new to me
[01:12] <prags2626> soundray, i'm sure theyll work on it :)

[01:12] <zYe> -_-
[01:12] <wiseelben> on gnome, is there any way to make the panels overlayable (not a word i know) by windows?
[01:12] <Flannel> zYe: even in windows, java programs aren't compiled in a GUI, javac is the same both places ;)
[01:12] <TLE> zYe: but you can install anyone of like a dusin different GUI based development evvironments, but for that you'll have to ask somebody else, because I don't really know the names of them
[01:13] <shriphani> erm people can i install debian and ask it to use my ubuntu home dir. ?
[01:13] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: i take it it didn't work?
[01:13] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Okay and how do I check the mail?
[01:13] <soundray> prags2626: it's not something that engages the typical free software hacker's mind

[01:13] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: use the "mail" command if it is installed.
[01:13] <deafboy> anyone?
[01:13] <prags2626> not bad actually
[01:13] <deafboy> warcraft?
[01:13] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Putting  and extra space after didn't work it looks like

[01:14] <wweasel> CLI question: I'd like to run the command "file *" recursively in a directory. How would I do this?
[01:14] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: hmmmm

[01:15] <moocowmoocowmoo> No mail command

[01:15] <jvai> hey ppl.
[01:16] <wweasel> soundray: Interesting, thanks. Would you mind running me through what that is doing, so I understand?
[01:16] <sapage> i have a problem whenever i restart ubuntu xserver fails to restart and the only way i can find to get the gui back is to reinstall Nvidia drivers
[01:16] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: iwgetid
[01:16] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: didnt return anything
[01:16] <madcheeze> mine did... so your hardware isnt configured
[01:16] <soundray> wweasel: 'find' takes the directory as the first parameters. You're only interested in proper files (not directories or links), that's what the -type f is for.
[01:16] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: you know how to fix?
[01:17] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im running out of expertise...
[01:17] <soundray> wweasel: -print0 makes find write the found filenames to stdout with a \0 character to separate the entries.
[01:17] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: under system, then device manager, do you see your wireless card?
[01:17] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: yes
[01:17] <soundray> wweasel: xargs -0 processes find's stdout and feeds it to the file command. Easy!
[01:18] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: type in iwconfig
[01:18] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: eth1 brings up results
[01:18] <madcheeze> what does it bring up?
[01:18] <madcheeze> screen shot
[01:18] <madcheeze> or pastebin
[01:18] <soundray> wweasel: the -print0 and -0 arguments are useful if you have files with spaces in their names. Those would cause errors otherwise.
[01:19] <sapage> anyone?

[01:19] <jewbilee> Hey, I installed XGL but I cant seem to figurer out how to bring up the cube view?

[01:20] <deafboy_> anyone bc wow?
[01:20] <soundray> wweasel: yw
[01:21] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: its not seeing your essid
[01:21] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: ...and?
[01:21] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: i figured that ... but idk how to get my essid ... should i take the wep key off my wireless? then try it?
[01:21] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: maybe the wep key is hiding my essid?
[01:21] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: yes
[01:22] <sapage> i have a problem whenever i restart ubuntu xorg fails to restart and the only way i can find to get the gui back is to reinstall Nvidia drivers
[01:22] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Looks like it ran SOMETHING because I have a file called ziZbnCdw in the folder that the backup was supposed to be placed in
[01:22] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: No mail though

[01:22] <jewbilee> ian@ian-laptop:~$ compiz.real: No composite extension
[01:23] <leafw> do I have to tell xorg which driver to use, or in having both the nv and the binary nvidia, will it choose one by default? I'd like it to use the binary, for hardware acceleration
[01:23] <Flannel> jewbilee: #ubuntu-xgl for xgl support, thanks
[01:23] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: how do i disable the wep key?  when i just clear the field its giving me an error.
[01:23] <jewbilee> ah, Sorry
[01:23] <soundray> sapage: try adding 'nvidia' on a line by itself to /etc/modules
[01:23] <katabatic> maybe disable encryption
[01:23] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: try adding a crontab entry with the command being: echo "did this work?"
[01:24] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: you have to disable it in the router, then save it
[01:24] <sapage> do i need the ''?
[01:24] <sapage> soundray:
[01:24] <soundray> sapage: no
[01:24] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: With quotation marks?
[01:24] <sapage> ok ta
[01:25] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: yes, that will be fine

[01:26] <axa-axa> My ubuntu system won't start gmd automatically like before, and it always starts in terminal mode so I have to manually type `sudo gdm` which starts gdm without problem.
[01:26] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: my fn+f2 is print so that wont work.
[01:26] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: and i disabled the wep key

[01:27] <axa-axa> soundray: Tried and this is report: System startup links for /etc/init.d/gdm already exist.
[01:27] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: k
[01:28] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: did you turn on the essid broadcast?
[01:28] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: it was already on

[01:28] <madcheeze> ok
[01:28] <jvai> oo ok ty soundray
[01:28] <riyonuk> I cant seem to find Dejavu sans normal anywhere, where are they?
[01:28] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: now, iwconfig

[01:28] <jvai> edgy is bleeding edge still
[01:28] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok - same information came up as before.
[01:28] <axa-axa> yes
[01:28] <axa-axa> soundray: yes
[01:29] <madcheeze> k
[01:29] <soundray> jvai: no, I don't think that's a valid conclusion
[01:29] <axa-axa> soundray: it exists
[01:29] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: that's progress!
[01:29] <jvai> lol i feel u @ soundray
[01:29] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: lol
[01:29] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: put in sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[01:29] <madcheeze> then iwconfig
[01:29] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: system mail isn't set up correctly, but cron seems to be working
[01:30] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: same.
[01:30] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: did you change your essid info in networking
[01:30] <madcheeze> ?
[01:30] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: unless you told me to - no.
[01:30] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: try a new crontab entry with: echo "this should write to a file" > /home/youruser/crontest
[01:30] <soundray> axa-axa: when you start up and get to the console, does 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' bring up gdm?
[01:30] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: I see lots of entries like this in syslog too: /USR/SBIN/CRON[2741] : (root) CMD (/usr/bin/backup)
[01:30] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: k, delete the essid info in the wireless section of your networking
[01:31] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: k i also deleted the password portion :P
[01:31] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Doesn't that mean cron executed /usr/bin/backup ?
[01:31] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: i think the fault is with your backup script, rather than cron
[01:31] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: so, did you save it?
[01:31] <axa-axa> soundray: I havent tried exactly that, I just typed `sudo gdm`
[01:31] <soundray> jvai: I think edgy users are more likely to seek help through IRC than dapper users.
[01:31] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: i always forget >.<
[01:31] <axa-axa> soundray: can I check that without interrapting
[01:31] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: try the crontab entry above. That will tell you for sure whether cron is working
[01:31] <axa-axa> soundray: ?
[01:32] <soundray> axa-axa: sure
[01:32] <Daishi> so i tried upgrading to ubuntu feisty but now i get libboost-date-time-dev: Depends: libboost-dev (= 1.33.1-9ubuntu2) but 1.33.1-7ubuntu1 is installed and a few others like that
[01:32] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: But when I run it from the terminal it does what it's supposed to... why would it run differently from cron?
[01:32] <Daishi> apt-get -f install doesnt help
[01:32] <Daishi> how do i fix this?
[01:32] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: after save, make sure your wireless card switch is on if you have one, then type in iwconfig
[01:32] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: depends on the script...

[01:32] <FaithX_> Hi guys.  I have an AMD64x2 4200 running 6.10 Ubuntu.  When I install the debs and reboot to the Xen0 kernel.  It seems to segfault (or something) in a different place just about everytime I boot.  I actually made it to a login prompt once.  I don't know even what to think about it.  Where should I begin to troubleshoot it?
[01:32] <axa-axa> soundray: I mean how can I check if it's working withous going back :) Can try it from where I am (Gnome) now?
[01:32] <soundray> axa-axa: stop your X server and try the other command from the console.
[01:33] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: perhaps pastebin the script?
[01:33] <soundray> axa-axa: no, that's not going to be a meaningful test
[01:33] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: you may need to reboot im not sure...
[01:33] <axa-axa> soundray: Ok, how can I stop X server?
[01:33] <soundray> axa-axa: System-Quit-Logout or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[01:33] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: ok one second, thanks for your patience by the way
[01:33] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: erm.. should i keep th essid in the properties?
[01:33] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: or no?
[01:34] <riyonuk> I cant seem to find Dejavu sans normal anywhere, where are they?
[01:34] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: no...
[01:34] <Tux> i have a question
[01:34] <Daishi> oo i guess dpkg --remove?
[01:34] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok so in the network settings it says this network interface is not configured ... that how u want it?
[01:34] <deafboy> anyone running bc wow on wine?

[01:35] <madcheeze> now, iwconfig
[01:35] <pillowmintz> k says same things
[01:35] <pillowmintz> i believe
[01:35] <madcheeze> so, its not picking up your wireless?
[01:35] <jvai> question: is 3d desktop in dapper's repos like beryl?
[01:35] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1889/
[01:35] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: sounds like its not picking up your wireless signal

[01:36] <Tux> what?
[01:36] <riyonuk> soundray, I have those isntalled, Im looking for just normal Sans
[01:36] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: well .. the wireless is there.  i know that for a fact.
[01:36] <axa-axa> soundray: Tried what you proposed with `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm` it first reported {start|stop|reload... but then started normaly
[01:37] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: one of two things are happening, either the wireless card isnt configured correctly, or the router isnt sending the info. i wouldnt guess its the router...
[01:37] <soundray> axa-axa: if you look back, I did actually ask you to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start'
[01:37] <axa-axa> soundray: I forgot to say, I also have kubuntu-desktop installed. I've been using kdm and kde but then tried to revert to gdm and gnome
[01:37] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: is it a pcmcia card or something?
[01:37] <Delux_247> quick question and its simple so im havintg a ahrd time finding it, how do i tell what kernel i have installed?  like it might be: linux-image-amd64-k8   but how do i tell what mine is?
[01:37] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok... =[
[01:37] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: idk... how to check?
[01:37] <axa-axa> soundray: yes, but it started even wihtout "start" argument
[01:37] <soundray> axa-axa: use 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm' when you want to switch display managers
[01:38] <soundray> axa-axa: yes, but you want to know what happens when you *do* pass the start argument, because that's what happens at boot.
[01:38] <Tux> soundray: does this just record screen shots?
[01:38] <axa-axa> soundray: should I try that now ? `sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm`
[01:38] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: is the wireless a card in a notebook or is it built in or what?
[01:38] <camerong> can anyone help me set up my "intel copr high definition audio controller" Please??
[01:38] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: its built in inside the notebook ... compaq presario v2000
[01:38] <soundray> Tux: no
[01:38] <bariel> http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/3731/blatx7.png
[01:38] <Tux> soundray: I have it installed
[01:38] <bariel> is there any possibliity i can resize the extended partition?
[01:39] <camerong> can anyone help me set up my "intel copr high definition audio controller" Please??
[01:39] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: hmmm... dumb question, is the wireless light on the notebook on?
[01:39] <Torist> CANNOT ssh -X user@host --> connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application 'blah' lost its connection to the display :10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application.
[01:39] <pillowmintz> the light is blinking
[01:39] <pillowmintz> steadily...
[01:39] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: can you turn it on and off?
[01:39] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: samba shares are a bit beyond me, but i'd be 99% sure the script is at fault.
[01:39] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: hmmm
[01:39] <Tux> soundray: it looks like a "fraps" program like on windows...
[01:39] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: the light is blinking, then when i press the button, it turns off ... then when i press it again, the light begins to blink again.
[01:39] <armadill0> Are there VMware server packages for apt-get that I can use to install vmware server?  Or should I just use the normal vmware server install script?  THanks!
[01:40] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: type in iwgetid
[01:40] <Tux> soundray: i don't want to see what i clicked, i want it to click it again for me
[01:40] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: no return value
[01:40] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Yeah I think you're probably right... I wish I knew what to change to make it work
[01:40] <deafboy> anyone play wow?
[01:40] <oragon> ello
[01:40] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: When I just execute it from the terminal it works all right
[01:40] <Torist> anyone know much about ssh errors in ubuntu?
[01:40] <soundray> Tux: oh, like a macro recorder. I don't know any of those.
[01:40] <camerong> can anyone help me set up my "intel copr high definition audio controller" Please?? i have no sound on my ubuntu install and im about to just go back to windows?

[01:40] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: ok, either im missing something, or i dont know the answer to getting this to work... iwgetid gives you all the essids in the area..
[01:40] <Tux> soundray: yeah...
[01:41] <Tux> anyone know of a macro recorder for ubuntu?

[01:41] <Flannel> !soound | camerong, try these
[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soound - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <Delux_247> real quick: ubuntu, how do i tell what kernel i have installed   : this how to is asking: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:41] <Flannel> gah
[01:41] <Flannel> !sound
[01:41] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[01:41] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: iwconfig gives you the info on your wireless setup
[01:41] <Flannel> camerong: try those pages
[01:41] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: yes ... this isnt working for ma >.<
[01:41] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Well thanks for the help anyway I appreciate it
[01:41] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: the script gives some output. If you add "> /home/myuser/logfile 2>&1" to the end of the crontab entry it will be send to a logfile
[01:41] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: try that scan up command, only use down, then go back up with it again
[01:42] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: do what?
[01:42] <Daemonic> Quick question guys.. how do I start dhcp on eth0 without having to download gnone-network-manager packages and such? I used to be able to "dhcpcd eth0" in another distro but I lack that in ubuntu.. anyone?
[01:42] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: try iwlist
[01:42] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: that may give you some clues
[01:42] <I-kido> is there a way to delete directories from gconf-editor?
[01:42] <pillowmintz> ok
[01:42] <TheDebugger> Daemonic: dhclient3 eth0
[01:42] <TheDebugger> iirc
[01:42] <crav> In amarok, is there any way to import my old iTunes library (for playcounts, playlists, etc)?
[01:42] <helloyo> any reason why my sound is all garbled in VisualBoyAdvance and the quake 4 demo?
[01:42] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: try iwlist eth1 scan
[01:43] <Daemonic> TheDebugger: I tried that.. it just sits there with DHCPDISCOVER B.S. over and over.. it doesn't set the routes or anything.
[01:43] <soundray> Daemonic: 'sudo ifup eth0'
[01:43] <pillowmintz> eth1 no scan results
[01:43] <moocowmoocowmoo> what is the 2>&1 for?
[01:43] <mcphail> helloyo: don't know about the VBadvance, but quake4 needs you to specify OSS as the sound driver
[01:43] <soundray> Daemonic: it can't set the routes if the DHCP server doesn't respond...
[01:43] <Ulti> moocowmoocowmoo redirect standard error output to normal output
[01:43] <helloyo> mcphail: ah ok, thanks
[01:44] <moocowmoocowmoo> Ah okay
[01:44] <Ulti> moocowmoocowmoo it's often used to stop anything coming up on screen and putting everything into a file
[01:44] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: what was that pastebin again?
[01:44] <Daemonic> soundray: it's wireless and the AP is there.. I set the channel, mode, essid and such with iwconfig but need to know how to get it to come up with dhcp after ifconfig eth0 up and iwconfig etc...
[01:44] <oragon> does anyone have 5 minutes of their time to answer wether i should dektop on my 3.2 mhz 1 gig server to a new comer ?
[01:44] <moocowmoocowmoo> Gotcha
[01:44] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: let me look at it again
[01:44] <Flannel> Torist: is your drive full?
[01:44] <mcphail> helloyo: i start quake4 with "quake4 +set s_driver oss +set s_numberOfSpeakers 2"
[01:44] <Mr_T> http://users.aber.ac.uk/ltt3/o-rofl.mpg
[01:45] <jughead> what are you asking oragon ?
[01:45] <helloyo> mcphail: i'll give it a go, thanks
[01:45] <soundray> Daemonic: check whether the AP is seen by the driver with 'sudo iwlist eth0 scan'
[01:45] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: can you throw me that pastebin again?
[01:45] <Daishi> can i make dpkg use glob expressions for specifying packages?
[01:45] <oragon> well just installed ubuntu for the 2nd time with server setup guide and running ispconfig all is up and running nicely no glitches im aware of yet
[01:45] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ya h/o
[01:46] <axa-axa> soundray: I've just come to say that `sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm` did the job, because kdm was previously selected.
[01:46] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1892/
[01:46] <Daemonic> soundray: it shows up fine under iwlist eth0 scan.. so all I need to do is "sudo ifup eth0" ?
[01:46] <axa-axa> soundray: thanks for effort.
[01:46] <oragon> but seen a blank screen due to server set up is killing me i either install a desktop and discover more of this great OS or buy another pc to do it on
[01:46] <soundray> axa-axa: cool
[01:46] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Omg the script just executed correctly I have no idea why
[01:47] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: lol
[01:47] <oragon> last atempt to install a desktop worked ok untill i decided to uninstall it and it removed ever server files like mysql
[01:47] <soundray> Daemonic: no. It's already looking for a DHCP response, but the repeated DHCPDISCOVER messages indicate that none is coming in
[01:47] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: samba is black magic
[01:47] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: That is totally weird... but in a good way of course
[01:48] <soundray> Daemonic: I had that once with an immature driver (rt2570 I think)
[01:48] <oragon> so sorta curious if i should install a desktop and which be the safest method of doing so without it interfiring with the server files
[01:48] <sapage> how do you install alsa?
[01:48] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im wondering if you are not seeing the broadcast cause your router may need a reboot to take the changes.
[01:48] <crav> In amarok, is there any way to import my old iTunes library (for playcounts, playlists, etc)?
[01:48] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: heres a screenshot of my router settings - look over so they're not messed up ? (http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/183/routernj1.png)
[01:48] <soundray> sapage: fixed your X?
[01:48] <sapage> yes
[01:48] <peresko> hi
[01:48] <soundray> sapage: well done
[01:49] <sapage> it runs fine
[01:49] <abasinisvacant> hello?
[01:49] <sapage> just that i installed cedega and it faisl the alsa test
[01:49] <moocowmoocowmoo> mcphail: Thanks again.. now to make sure it runs consistently and I'll be set :D
[01:49] <mcphail> moocowmoocowmoo: i'd explore backing up with rsync in the future. samba may be a little fragile for what you need
[01:49] <soundray> sapage: alsa is installed by default. You may have to sudo that cedega test command.
[01:49] <abasinisvacant> my connection is lagging so badly
[01:50] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: did the router say it was resetting after the changes?
[01:50] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: it said i could use it after 30 seconds or something?
[01:50] <sapage> this is the 32bit version since i am running 64bit ubuntu?
[01:50] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: should i restart it?
[01:50] <soundray> sapage: I don't think cedega will work with 64bit (I could be wrong though)
[01:51] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: to be honest, i am shooting in the dark now. i dont know why you arent seeing any networks, and i am not understanding why its not connecting. 8(
[01:51] <abasinisvacant> hello?
[01:51] <Ulti> hello
[01:51] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: my guess is that its not broadcasting the info.
[01:51] <pillowmintz> madcheeze :'(  ok well ill try and restart it.
[01:51] <sapage> should i reinstall 32 ubuntu?
[01:51] <sapage> soundray: ?
[01:51] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: brb.
[01:51] <madcheeze> anyone else good with wireless?
[01:52] <pokey> sapage, i think you should be able to get it working you probably need the 32 bit sdl libs or something
[01:52] <sapage> i have it working
[01:52] <madcheeze> sapage: what is it working on? laptop?
[01:52] <sapage> just alsa fails and horrible proformance
[01:52] <sapage> desktop
[01:52] <sapage> amd64 chip
[01:52] <camerong> hey guys whats a good way to test if my sound is working when i dont have any music on this computer???
[01:52] <madcheeze> thanks sapage
[01:52] <soundray> sapage: if you can bear it, that may be the best option. amd64 is justified if you do a lot of numbercrunching or video recoding, but i386 will give you less trouble overall.
[01:53] <peresko> RDP question: is it possible to copy a string between an ubuntu edgy and windows machine??
[01:53] <sapage> yer it does not worry me
[01:53] <sapage> just thought i would use 64bit since i had one
[01:53] <camerong> what is a good way to test sound when u dont have any music files?
[01:53] <sapage> i might go reinstall now
[01:53] <soundray> peresko: try F8
[01:54] <jvai> camerong, *SYSTEM-PREFERENCES-SOUND* or try a game like same gmone
[01:54] <Daishi> can someone tell me how to fix this error: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[01:54] <Daishi> ead: Unable to correct dependencies?
[01:54] <peresko> soundray: is that copy/paste key ?
[01:54] <soundray> peresko: no, it's the key that says F8
[01:54] <Daishi> im upgrading and cant figure it out
[01:54] <Daishi> google turns up nearly nothing
[01:54] <madcheeze> anyone else good with wireless?
[01:54] <madcheeze> just need a little help
[01:55] <madcheeze> mine works, im helping someone else
[01:55] <Mr_T> sup mad
[01:55] <Mr_T> sup madcheeze*
[01:55] <jvai> camerong, *SYSTEM-PREFERENCES-SOUND* or try a game like  gnometris
[01:55] <peresko> soundray: :) i figured that out
[01:55] <madcheeze> Mr_T: hey man, for some reason, i cant get someones wireless to show any essids or networks using iwgetid or iwconfig
[01:55] <Mikey> hey everyone, i need to "install" mcs for bash, can anyone help?
[01:55] <soundray> peresko: good, I could have sent you a photo otherwise ;)
[01:55] <Mr_T> hmm
[01:56] <Mr_T> wifi router set up properly
[01:56] <GionnyBoss> I have changed the volume label for my 2nd hd, but Ubuntu keeps reading the old volume label and displays the old label in "Places", in the desktop and in Nautilus... why? can anybody help me, please?
[01:56] <Mr_T> to allow access to everyone etc
[01:56] <camerong> hey guys i found my drivers on the ALSA website and used sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel to load them without a problem.. but still no sound
[01:56] <madcheeze> Mr_T: that was my first thought, but i got a screen shot and it all looks ok, she had her wep setup, so i had her disable it, and enable the broadcast, but i dont think the router reset. could that be it?
[01:57] <Mr_T> yeah, could try a router setup, does it also use MAC filtering?
[01:57] <Daishi> camerong: run alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted and sound is turned up (probably master and pcm volumes are of interest)
[01:58] <soundray> Mikey: Mono C# compiler?
[01:58] <camerong> daishi: its all high up and unmuted
[01:58] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: didnt work =
[01:58] <pillowmintz> =[
[01:58] <Mikey> soundray, sound like it, im trying to compile gaim2.0.0beta5
[01:58] <Daishi> camerong: hrm and alsa says it supports your sound card? does it work in other os's? (ie windows)
[01:58] <peresko> soundray:photo would be helpfull :) what i basically want to do is copy text
[01:59] <Tux> anyone know of a macro recorder for ubuntu?
[01:59] <peresko> soundrar: between windows and ubuntu, via rdp
[01:59] <leafw> why if I have a supported nvidia card, and the nv driver installed, glxinfo reports there is no direct rendering?
[01:59] <soundray> peresko: from what I remember, F8 brings up a menu that contains entries for transferring the clipboard contents.
[01:59] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im not sure then, i have mr _t helping now..
[01:59] <camerong> dashi: yes the speakers do

[02:02] <Mr_T> hmm, stupid question, sure it's in range?
[02:02] <Daishi> make sure to add whatever module it is to /etc/modules
[02:02] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: sorry, not sure you are a her...
[02:02] <Mr_T> (I'm going for the basics now :s)
[02:02] <Daishi> so it autoloads on boot
[02:02] <leafw> arrenlex : so, Driver "nv"  ok, obvious, but nvidia-glx is also the name itself, or does it follow some code
[02:02] <crav> how do i got mp3 playback on amarok?
[02:02] <pillowmintz> Mr_T - Im right next to the wireless box :P
[02:02] <arrenlex> leafw: Come again?
[02:02] <leafw> arrenlex: feeling a little clueless on this here :)
[02:02] <altecmak> im on a lan at home and was wondering how u chat in the terminal?
[02:02] <Tux> ljl: how do i run this?
[02:03] <Mr_T> hehe k
[02:03] <arrenlex> !nvidia | leafw, follow this guide:
[02:03] <ubotu> leafw, follow this guide:: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:03] <leafw> ok ok, I'm in it!
[02:03] <leafw> thanks arrenlex
[02:03] <Tux> LjL: how do i run xmacro in terminal?
[02:03] <peresko> anyone? I'm looking for an rdp-client, which makes it possible to copy/paste text between ubuntu and windows
[02:03] <Mr_T> what make/model is the router?
[02:04] <matt4magic> I have trouble when apt-get installing eggdrop. What do I search for? I don't see where the files go and I cannot do a make install?
[02:04] <Sling> i havea  simple question, if i plug in a monitor on my laptop, how can i turn on that one and only use it
[02:04] <pillowmintz> Mr_T: it is a actiontec MI424WR
[02:04] <LjL> Tux: never used it, hold on
[02:04] <arrenlex> matt4magic: If your question is, "I installed this package but can't find the program that was supposed to come with it", my answer is to use the command dpkg -L <packagename> to list all files in it. Look for something in /usr/bin
[02:04] <Tux> okay
[02:04] <vladuz976> lpr gives me no default dest available. how do i set one ?
[02:05] <abasinisvacant> can anyone hear me?
[02:05] <Sling> i havea  simple question, if i plug in a monitor on my laptop, how can i turn on that one and only use it

[02:06] <pillowmintz> Mr_T: ... what do you mean?  wlan0 doesnt even come up if i do iwconfig
[02:06] <Mr_T> what about ifconfig
[02:06] <peresko> Sling: monitor plugged in laptop? power cord attached? monitor power on?

[02:07] <Mr_T> wahwah
[02:07] <Mr_T> that's weird
[02:07] <Sling> is there no way to do it like windows has it where you select which one to use?
[02:07] <Mr_T> any other of the 935 people in here shed any light?
[02:07] <pillowmintz> i know i followed a few tutorials and maybe i disabled it or something?
[02:07] <eric_> does ubuntu have any support for the kyro chipset?
[02:08] <Mr_T> so what comes up under system>admin>networking
[02:08] <pillowmintz> wireless connection | wired connection | modem connection
[02:08] <madcheeze> Mr_T: i had her disable the networking during troubleshooting
[02:08] <Tux> LjL: anything?
[02:09] <cac> hi folks
[02:10] <arrenlex> !hi | cac
[02:10] <ubotu> cac: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:10] <cac> thanks
[02:10] <Tux> hey cac
[02:10] <cac> Ubuntu people als
[02:10] <soundray> Tux: I don't know xmacro, but I'd look at the list of files in the package (dpkg -L xmacro) and at the docs in /usr/share/doc/xmacro
[02:10] <cac> always so nice
[02:10] <vladuz976> lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[02:10] <vladuz976> what is the problem here please?
[02:10] <madcheeze> Mr_T: did you catch what i said, i had her disable the networking section, she may need to set it back up
[02:11] <vladuz976> any help would be appreciated. can someone just point me to some help?
[02:11] <cac> do not ask for help
[02:11] <cac> ask the question
[02:11] <cac> and we will help
[02:12] <vladuz976> cac: how do i set a default destination for a printer?
[02:12] <arrenlex> !enter | cac
[02:12] <ubotu> cac: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:12] <eric_> how do I find my kernel version?
[02:12] <arrenlex> eric_: uname -r
[02:12] <LjL> Tux: no, it's more complicated than i'd have expected... basically, i think you need *two* X servers running instead of one
[02:12] <eric_> okay so what I hear is kyro chipsets are NOT supported above the 2.4 kernel?
[02:13] <Tux> LjL: ok.... so whats a server?
[02:13] <vladuz976> lpr returns "no default destination available" how do i set the default dest?
[02:13] <Tux> LjL: is there any way to record a macro with one server?
[02:13] <madcheeze> Mr_T: did you get my last?
[02:13] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: you still around?
[02:13] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: yes
[02:13] <soundray> Tux: there must be a better way to solve your problem than recording mouseclicks.
[02:13] <vladuz976> i can print from applications but not from command line
[02:14] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: did he get you straight?
[02:14] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: just as lost as before.
[02:14] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: no
[02:14] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: ok,
[02:14] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: recreate the wireless connection under system, and networking
[02:14] <cac> select the printer you want to use
[02:14] <Tux> Soundray: Know any other ways to macro runescape? like re-writing auto-clickers from windoes?
[02:14] <LjL> Tux: not one that i can seem to get to work... i think i can *replay* macros, though. but then you need to write the macro manually
[02:14] <vladuz976> cac: did with lpr -P printername
[02:14] <cac> in the system option select printers
[02:15] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: just reconfigure?
[02:15] <vladuz976> cac: nothing is printing. but my question was, how can I set the default so i don't have to specify?
[02:15] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: yep
[02:15] <Tux> LjL: when you say "you", do you mean you; LjL?
[02:15] <Tux> hehe
[02:15] <soundray> Tux: sry, I don't know what you mean by runescape
[02:15] <cac> follow the steps
[02:15] <Tux> soundray: good
[02:15] <Larkey> I have a problem with something called "/lib/ccp"  The error messages are as follows: "/lib/cpp" sanity check failed." "cpp: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1plus': No such file or directory" Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this problem?
[02:15] <Tux> soundray: all i need is something that will record my mouse clicks (1 or 2) so i don't need to be at my computer
[02:16] <soundray> Larkey: 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' is my first guess
[02:16] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok i reconfigured
[02:16] <eric_> can ubuntu 6.10 run on the 2.4 kernel?
[02:16] <cac> to use the printer you need, then on the printer icon press the right button of your mouse and choose "convert into predetermined"
[02:16] <madcheeze> what are you getting when you type in iwconfig
[02:16] <pillowmintz> the same thing i told u the last 4 times :P
[02:16] <soundray> Tux: what is that going to accomplish, though?
[02:17] <madcheeze> ok what about iwgetid
[02:17] <Tux> soundray: fun?
[02:17] <josorio> hola natacha!!
[02:17] <Tux> soundray: wealth?
[02:17] <pillowmintz> no return
[02:17] <eric_> !kernel
[02:17] <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
[02:17] <vladuz976> cac: i don''t use gnome. so i don't have those menus
[02:17] <Tux> soundray: haha who cares, I need help with it
[02:17] <LjL> Tux: i'm afraid i mean yourself :P unless you're using KDE and the same programs that i'm using and i can do the same thing you want to do on my computer ;) anyway, i'm still tinkering, maybe i can get it to work
[02:17] <soundray> eric_: no
[02:17] <Tux> LjL thanks man
[02:17] <cac> for KDE is the same
[02:17] <Tux> or woman
[02:17] <LjL> man. restarting X to try something - back in a second
[02:17] <madcheeze> hmmm
[02:18] <cac> just go to the printer menu
[02:18] <eric_> soundray, thank you for the response! With that information, I guess I am looking for a way to get a kyro chipset to run on the 2,6 kernel. Something tells me I am between a rock and a hard place.
[02:18] <cac> choose the printer you want
[02:18] <cac> next....
[02:18] <pillowmintz> cac: do you know about wireless?
[02:18] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: ok, im thinking your router isnt setup correctly.
[02:19] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: well it works in windows .. how isnt it setup properly?
[02:19] <cac> then after the printer icon appears right click on it and choose predetermined printer opcion with the right click
[02:19] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: um
[02:19] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im not sure
[02:19] <eric_> does anyone know where I can find information on the kyro chipset in general?.... does anyone have some knowledge about getting hercules cards to run?....
[02:19] <soundray> eric_: yes, that's an adequate description of any kyro user's situation.
[02:19] <cac> It's the simplest thing to do. Configurate a printer...
[02:19] <LjL> Tux: i've made it. you need to change a line in xorg.conf, though
[02:19] <LjL> Tux: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and in Section "Module" add this line: Load "record"
[02:20] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: i can tell you that you have to attach to it with the essid. if you arent able to even see the essid, then you have a hardware problem. its either the router, or the network card.
[02:20] <eric_> soundray... is there ANY hope?
[02:20] <soundray> eric_: can you not just go and buy an nvidia card for $20 ?
[02:20] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: =\ well i fail at this ..
[02:20] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: im not telling you that your hardware is broken, im telling you that the configuration isnt right
[02:20] <cac> go to this page:
[02:20] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: =[
[02:20] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: dont give up,
[02:20] <cac> http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/printing_ubuntu
[02:20] <soundray> eric_: sorry, I know I'm not helping.
[02:20] <Saturisation> hello
[02:21] <LjL> Tux: then restart X. then, in a terminal, type "xmacrorec2 >some-filename-for-the-macro", then press Esc (or another button - it just tells the program what key is used to exit from it), and then use the keystrokes you want to record
[02:21] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: let me think bout it
[02:21] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: you gonna be on a while?
[02:21] <cac> you can see step by step what you have to do...
[02:21] <LjL> Tux: when you're finished, hit Esc or the key you've decided. to play it back again, use "xmacroplay <filename"
[02:21] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: yes - i need to restart to do some things in windows - so ill be back on.
[02:21] <cac> to print using ubuntu
[02:21] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: ok?
[02:21] <Saturisation> PHP-mysql problem: fatal_error : undefined mysql_connect, i have tried literally everything thinkable, can't get it to work, any help?
[02:21] <cac> with either kde or gnome
[02:21] <eric_> soundray, I'll have to weigh options. I can see, although, that the kyro thing will never work because kyro is not writing new drivers... heh. By default it will never work. So I guess I will have to find out about a new graphics card. (I never liked hercules anyways)
[02:21] <madcheeze> pillowmintz: ok, i will chat with ya a little later, dont give up, its something stupid we are missing
[02:21] <madcheeze> see ya
[02:21] <pillowmintz> madcheeze: like ... ill just restart and load up irc and keep it minimized.
[02:21] <LjL> tux: actually, "xmacroplay :0 <filename"
[02:22] <pillowmintz> pce
[02:22] <pillowmintz> bye all
[02:22] <cac> bye
[02:22] <Tux> LjL can u pm this to me? still on the first part lol
[02:22] <eric_> soundray, and you have been a help. Thanks. Have a good evening, night, morning, whatever suits your timezone.
[02:22] <cac> good bye pillowmintz

[02:32] <ubotu> sapage: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:32] <matallo> can anybody read it and try and solve this mistery?
[02:32] <sapage> ta
[02:32] <Saturisation> nevermind, was supposed to be a joke, i'm the only on laughing though... :p
[02:33] <Ralith> so yeah
[02:33] <Ralith> who knows anything about USB modems?
[02:33] <matallo> i can dvd but not cd
[02:33] <matallo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1901/
[02:33] <Saturisation> Ralith, what's wrong?
[02:33] <Saturisation> won't install or won't connect?
[02:34] <Ralith> Saturisation, my current problem is that it's not creating a /dev/ entry
[02:34] <Ralith> so I guess that counts as won't install
[02:34] <matallo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1901/ i cant burn cds
[02:34] <PaulusVictor> Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu installation might go fubar when I update the kernel? I'm booting off an external USB hard drive.
[02:34] <Ralith> it's a HTC Universal, if that helps
[02:35] <mage__> hey if I mount some partitions as say /ubuntu/ and /ubuntu/usr etc etc will the installer install to that?
[02:35] <Saturisation> Ralith, don't know how to help you, sorry
[02:35] <Larkey> The error I'm getting is : "The Ruby programming language is not installed. Please obtain Ruby(version 1.8 or later) from http://ruby-lang.org, or install a distribution package. To build Amarok requires the Ruby header files as well, which some distributions package separately."  I have already done apt-get and got Ruby 1.8 and after getting this error, I tried to 'apt-get' it again, but it says I already have ruby 1.8.  What could be the problem here?
[02:35] <bariel> hello, i created a new fat32 partition, i want to auto mount it everytime i log in, trying to edit /etc/fstab i notice i need to enter the UUID, how can i get this UUID?
[02:35] <matallo> !paste |Larkey
[02:35] <ubotu> Larkey: 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)
[02:35] <mage__> ruby -dev is what the debian people do :-/
[02:35] <Saturisation> goodbye to all!
[02:36] <I-kido> bariel u don't need UUID
[02:36] <Larkey> Well, I apparently need it to install "Amarok"
[02:36] <LjL> matallo: he put it all one one line quite tidily, so i don't think he really needed to use the pastebin this time
[02:36] <mage__> fat32 has uuid?
[02:36] <bariel> I-kido, what should i do then?
[02:36] <bitlfip> tilda
[02:36] <mage__> /dev/hda1 /home/mage/c vfat uid=mage 0 1 <-- thats my fat32 partition
[02:36] <Ralith> Larkey, tried sudo apt-get install amarok?
[02:37] <LjL> mage__: uhm, *all* your partitions are given a UUID, though i'm not entirely sure where and how it's written

[02:37] <Sling_> does anyone know how to us a plugged into monitor on my laptop the Fn + F4 doesn't seem to be working
[02:37] <I-kido> bariel just add /dev/hd?     fast32    defaults,noatime        0       2
[02:37] <Ralith> or maybe you should go use gentoo
[02:38] <Larkey> I switched to Linux from Windows and I finally got everything running today.
[02:38] <Larkey> There were bootmanager problems, etc
[02:38] <macronyx> hi..someone unsing krusader? I can't find the way how to save ftp session?
[02:38] <Larkey> So, forgive my Linux ignorance.

[02:42] <ardchoille42> malex, Could it be that slang1a-utf8 is a file and not a package?

[02:44] <pppl> hello!
[02:45] <bruenig> !hi | pppl
[02:45] <ubotu> pppl: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[02:46] <weiyan> does anybody concern my question ? :)

[02:46] <bruenig> Sling_, admittedly a shot in the dark here, but did you boot it up with the monitor plugged in
[02:46] <weiyan> got the message by this : /bin/sh:can't access tty; job control turn off
[02:46] <Sling_> bruenig i shall try that again

[02:47] <Ralith> Larkey, heh
[02:47] <macronyx> Krusader: I can't find the way how to save a network connection??
[02:47] <Ralith> Larkey, I know how you feel
[02:47] <Ralith> Larkey, look at "Applications -> Add/Remove"
[02:47] <Ralith> you can install most anything with that
[02:47] <Arrick_Idle> anyone here know anything about supybots written in python?
[02:47] <Arrick_Idle> I know, offtopic
[02:48] <pppl> i have a little problem installing ubuntu 6.06.1 on my server. the server is equipped with a 3ware 9650se raid-controller which is not supported by a kernel below 2.6.19. any idea how to get around that?
[02:48] <Sling_> bruenig wow, simple solutions to everything nowadays lol i can't beelive that worked
[02:49] <Ralith> pppl, try installing edgy?
[02:49] <riyonuk> is ttf-dejavu the only dejavu font package? Looking for Dejavu Sans 9
[02:50] <Ralith> can anyone help me set up my cellphone as a USB modem?
[02:50] <pppl> ralith, it's a server, i would have preferred having the long-time-support
[02:50] <pppl> long-term-support
[02:50] <Ralith> pppl, edgy isn't going to fall over and die
[02:50] <weiyan> anybody any idea ? boot stop at this : /bin/sh:can't access tty; job control turn off
[02:51] <dane> hmmm
[02:51] <pppl> ralith, sure not, but it will not have security-updates over a period of 5 years
[02:51] <[ubuntu] biz__> reiserFS is much faster on a filesystem with small-size files, Is it true?
[02:52] <Ralith> pppl, maybe you want debian? :P
[02:52] <Ralith> [ubuntu] biz__, I've heard as much
[02:52] <dane> weiyan: that's a virtual desktop i believe it won't load... not sure
[02:52] <whileimhere> whats the difference between ubuntu and debian?
[02:52] <pppl> [ubuntu] biz__, i heard that too, but i wouldn't use it nevertheless
[02:53] <tonyyarusso> Ralith: Edgy is only .17 anyway
[02:53] <tonyyarusso> pppl: You could compile your own if you're feeling enterprising.
[02:53] <pppl> ralith, maybe... do i? i'm not that much a config-file-cruncher...
[02:53] <noiesmo> whileimhere, ubuntu is based on debian but ubuntu is in maybe more user friendly in my option
[02:53] <pppl> tonyyarusso: the problem is: i need it already at boot-time
[02:54] <mnoir> !debian | whileimhere
[02:54] <ubotu> whileimhere: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship
[02:54] <pppl> noiesmo, indeed it is. i already tried debian
[02:54] <tonyyarusso> pppl: yeah, so?  I'm saying you could replace the kernel, but keep the rest of Dapper
[02:54] <tonyyarusso> pppl: (Debian's kernel will be even older :P)
[02:54] <weiyan> dane: i choose suspend last night , then can
[02:54] <weiyan> dane : then can not boot again
[02:54] <pppl> tonyyarusso: how can i exchange the kernel already before the installation?
[02:55] <Ralith> pplit'll autocnfig fine
[02:55] <Ralith> er
[02:55] <Ralith> pppl, debian autoconfigs fine usually
[02:55] <dane> hmm
[02:55] <Ralith> if yer setting up a server you usually have to tweak config files anyway
[02:55] <dane> what version are you running?
[02:55] <tonyyarusso> pppl: You'd change the grub menu to load your self-build kernel.
[02:55] <weiyan> dane: edgy
[02:56] <tonyyarusso> pppl: Compiling a kernel isn't the easiest thing in the world, but with some background reading you could probably do it.  (I figure anyone who runs a cli-only machine could)
[02:56] <bruenig> there is a how to on the forums that is good
[02:56] <pppl> tonyyarusso: any hints which options i need to hand over to grub?
[02:56] <bruenig> for kernel compilation
[02:57] <tonyyarusso> pppl: Just the file path to your new kernel once you've placed it in /boot
[02:57] <tonyyarusso> pppl: There are guides on the wiki and elsewhere.
[02:57] <weiyan> dane : does ubuntu got some repair Mechanism ? :)
[02:57] <bruenig> pppl, the grub part is the easiest, just change the path to the new one
[02:58] <dane> weiyan: not that i know of... I haven't been using linux as long as alot of people.... do you have /dev/tty on your hd?
[02:58] <{Nathan}> Has anyone gotton tilp working in ubuntu?
[02:58] <pppl> bruenig, the new kernel will be on a disk. as mentioned i already need it before i can do the installation. but the disk will not be mounted by the time i start the installer...
[02:58] <bruenig> oh
[02:59] <bruenig> oh wow, I didn't know tilp existed, I thought my ti firmware upgrades were a thing of the past
[02:59] <weiyan> dane : should be ,coz im in XP now , :)
[02:59] <riyonuk> is ttf-dejavu the only dejavu font package? Looking for Dejavu Sans 9
[02:59] <dane> yea... do you use 1 or 2 hd- drives?
[03:00] <pppl> so, can i tell grub already before the installation of ubuntu, that it should take a kernel from a disk?
[03:00] <weiyan> dane : just one hd
[03:00] <dane> does it give you any other errors or just that...
[03:01] <weiyan> dane : hum ...it's seems a interactive envirment , like shell , but i don't know what to do :)
[03:01] <riotkittie> ok i'm trying to troubleshoot a 6.06 install by phone. and. i bring you a <drumroll> wireless question
[03:01] <dane> Weiyan: i don't honestly know the answer to be sure... but i did find a ubuntu forum with a nice write up on it...
[03:02] <dane> if you'd like the address....
[03:02] <briguyd> can someone please help me, my disc drives are no longer detected
[03:02] <weiyan> dane: thanks anyway,,i try it again :)
[03:02] <dane> try this...
[03:02] <dane> when you hit the command prompt/bash
[03:02] <dane> try running exit
[03:02] <dane> then startx
[03:03] <pppl> briguyd, what das fdisk -l say?
[03:03] <weiyan> dane: okay ,,thx :)
[03:03] <briguyd> pppl, nothing
[03:03] <dane> that might allow it to start without running through all 5 runtimes...
[03:03] <dane> do you have a sata drive?
[03:03] <weiyan> dane: nope ,,IDE
[03:04] <pppl> briguyd: what did you do before that happened? kernel update? bios update??
[03:04] <riyonuk> anyone know how to get my dejavu fonts working with fluxbox?
[03:05] <briguyd> im not sure, it either happened when i went from dapper to edgy or when i messed with my hard drive configureation, though i'm assuming the former because the drives work under windows
[03:05] <briguyd> and i can't spell anything tonight
[03:05] <dane> weiyan: check this out it points that it may be a grub.lst problem...
[03:05] <dane> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=292533
[03:06] <dane> hope that helps
[03:06] <briguyd> so, to answer your question pppl i would guess it's a kernel update
[03:06] <pppl> briguyd: do you still have the dapper-installation-cd? then you could try booting that one and running fdisk -l from there
[03:06] <briguyd> im not sure, i can look
[03:07] <curs0r> anyone know how to set grub up to boot osx86?
[03:07] <briguyd> but i somehow doubt it
[03:07] <briguyd> pppl, how would that help me?
[03:08] <pppl> well, then you'd be sure that the storage-controller itself is still working
[03:08] <briguyd> is that a hardware thing?
[03:08] <pppl> yes
[03:08] <gnoodles> Hey everyone... Remember me? X is crashing whenever I try to install ubuntu, or boot into ubuntu installed using the text installer. THought it was a video issue, but now I'm less sure. One thing I just noticed-- the caps lock & scroll lock lights on my keyboard start blinking once it crashes. Not sure if that happens under all versions, but I just tried Feisty Fawn to see if it had the same problem, (it did) and I noticed the blinking.
[03:08] <briguyd> pppl, then it's working, because on the windows partition of the same computer, the drives work fine
[03:09] <ubuntu> hey i;m here
[03:09] <ubuntu> Flannel man
[03:09] <jewbilee> during Ubuntu 6.06 install, I neglected to mount my main internal harddrive as a media harddrive (Ubuntu is installed on an external), How can i access the files on my main?
[03:09] <dane> jewbilee, you need to mount the drive
[03:09] <jewbilee> dane: how do I got about doing that?
[03:09] <dane> what file format is it?
[03:09] <jewbilee> NTFS
[03:09] <jewbilee> i only need read access
[03:09] <bruenig> jewbilee, mount -t ntfs /dev/whatever /mount/point
[03:10] <pppl> well, i wouldn't bet on that. i once had a dying mainboard that worked well within windows but not at all when i wanted to start linux. one day then it didn't work under win anymore as well
[03:10] <dane> see above :)
[03:10] <bruenig> sudo mount*
[03:10] <gnoodles> ONe other interesting symptom: if I move the mouse, it doesn't crash as soon.
[03:10] <jewbilee> dane: how do i find out what its called?
[03:10] <bruenig> jewbilee, do sudo fdisk -l
[03:10] <briguyd> pppl, could i try with an edgy cd?
[03:10] <jewbilee> bruenig: thanks a lot
[03:10] <dane> damn bruenig your quick :)
[03:10] <jewbilee> bruenig: what should I use for /mount/point?
[03:11] <pppl> you could, too. however if you don't see anything that could be either the kernel or the storage controller.
[03:11] <bruenig> jewbilee, what I would do is first do "sudo mkdir /media/windows" then use /media/windows for the /mount/point
[03:11] <jewbilee> bruenig: sounds great
[03:11] <bruenig> but you can name it anything
[03:11] <jewbilee> bruenig: thanks a lot
[03:11] <briguyd> pppl, ill try, be back in a few
[03:11] <pppl> good luck
[03:11] <dane> hey bruenig you seem to be on top of this pretty well can i ask you some ?
[03:12] <bruenig> dane, I know some things well, but I know a lot of things not at all
[03:12] <dane> hmm know anything about VIA unichrome IGP cards?
[03:12] <dane> or speed tweaking?
[03:12] <bruenig> no
[03:13] <pppl> so, back to my own problem: is there a possibility to tell ubuntu to use another kernel than the one it has itself already at installation-time? so, can i exchange the kernel on the installation-cd with one on a disk?
[03:13] <jewbilee> bruenig: I did mkdir, and then mount
[03:13] <jewbilee> but it says I dont have permission
[03:13] <humblerodent> this is the fucking lamest "Ubuntu package" I've ever seen
[03:13] <jewbilee> to view the content
[03:13] <humblerodent> it even says "Ubuntu Edgy" in the filename
[03:13] <ubuntu> jewbille
[03:13] <humblerodent> which is what I'm running
[03:14] <jewbilee> ubuntu
[03:14] <bruenig> jewbilee, try sudo chown -R username:username /media/windows
[03:14] <humblerodent> so why does it complain about kernel headers when I try to install, and why will it not let me do a thing with it to fix my friggin' system....
[03:14] <ubuntu> jebili you need to write su
[03:14] <bruenig> changing username of course
[03:14] <ubuntu> and enter your password to work man.
[03:14] <dane> gksudo nautilus will get you full access too
[03:15] <jewbilee> bruenig: trying what you said
[03:15] <dane> if your using ubuntu
[03:15] <bruenig> gksudo nautilus would yeah, but that is a bit of a hassle if you intend to use it a lot
[03:15] <jewbilee> dane + ubuntu: would rather not use command line everytime i want to open that folder
[03:15] <zero888> hello, anyone familiar with Aircrack or Aireplay???
[03:15] <dane> chown it
[03:15] <jewbilee> yea
[03:15] <jewbilee> its doing that now

[03:16] <dane> anyone try herd2 yet?
[03:16] <pppl> is there a kernel- or installation-extra-channel for ubuntu anywhere?
[03:17] <jewbilee> bruenig: still says I dont have permission to view

[03:20] <jewbilee> hahah.. damnit.. its gotta run through all the files again
[03:21] <pppl> dane: thx, but my problem is that i need the kernel already before the installation. the article copes the case that you want to replace a kernel in an existing installation
[03:21] <mnoir> jewbilee: try adding '-o umask=0222' w/o the quotes, to your mount stmt.  most folks will find it much easier to add the correct line to fstab, rather than fiddling around with a complex mount stmt
[03:21] <dane> oh...

[03:23] <jewbilee> im just gonna go install it again
[03:23] <jewbilee> but this time mount it
[03:23] <jewbilee> thanks anyway
[03:23] <tonyyarusso> dat: Checked proftpd's conf file's man page or other docs?  Probably in there.
[03:23] <mnoir> hmm - ignores advice, gonna reinstall to fix a simple mount problem....
[03:24] <dat> tonyyarusso: thanks for the response.  i have checked the proftpd docs.  i've seen how to ban specific ip addresses, but not how to add to that list automatically after unsuccessful logins.
[03:24] <dat> tonyyarusso: i'd even be willing to switch to another ftp server if it'll do what i need it to.
[03:25] <tonyyarusso> dat: Hmm, 'k.  I've heard that sort of feature mentioned, so _something_ has it, but I don't know what.  Otherwise, you could potentially do it with a bash script I suppose?
[03:26] <ubuntu> Starting mail server: dovecotError: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 44: Expecting '='
[03:26] <ubuntu> hey i have this problem
[03:27] <ubuntu> !dovecot
[03:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dovecot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:27] <briguyd> pppl, i tried it with a dapper cd, same result, nothing
[03:28] <malex> Can someone test the creation of a dapper pbuilder chroot to verify that it's broken?
[03:28] <dat> tonyyarusso: yea, i'm sure some program has that feature.  i just haven't been able to find it yet.  i was running the ftp server on xp (ugh), and the program i used was able to do it.  but, i'm looking to move the ftp server over to the ubuntu box i have.
[03:28] <Noah0504> Hey everyone.
[03:28] <pppl> briguyd, that's bad. could be a problem beyond some grub-options
[03:28] <dane> pppl: what do you need a different kernel for if i may ask?
[03:28] <tonyyarusso> dat: I'm totally blanking on the term you should be googling... :S
[03:28] <briguyd> pppl, whats the next step?
[03:29] <ubuntu> hey is there someone know for UBuntu mail server with web gui
[03:29] <dat> tonyyarusso: currently googling: ban ip address automatically proftpd ubuntu
[03:29] <pppl> dane: as mentioned above: i have a 3ware 9650-raid controller, that's natively only supported by kernels above 2.6.19
[03:30] <darweth> Is there anyway to add mp3 support into Sound Juicer?
[03:30] <tonyyarusso> dat: "hammering"  try that
[03:30] <pppl> briguyd: you did not do a bios-update, did you?
[03:30] <briguyd> nope
[03:30] <briguyd> changed some settings, maybe, but not an update
[03:31] <pppl> briguyd: maybe changed some apic/ acpi/ ide-settings?
[03:31] <briguyd> probably, as i was messing with my hard drives and such
[03:31] <dat> tonyyarusso: hah!  that looks to be the ticket.  i'll search on that for awhile.  thanks!!
[03:31] <tonyyarusso> dat: Yay!
[03:32] <Music_Shuffle> tonyyarusso, you almost seem happier than him ;P
[03:32] <tonyyarusso> Music_Shuffle: I am - my memory _worked_ for once :P
[03:32] <dane> pppl: i honestly don't know if these will help but i searched around
[03:32] <dat> tonyyarusso: just in case your curious, it pointed me to this: http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_ban.html which looks to be good.
[03:32] <dane> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=48952&highlight=changing+kernel+during+installation
[03:32] <pppl> briguyd: you should try to undo that changes. or you could as well try booting with the noapic-option
[03:32] <vignesh> Hi
[03:32] <gnoodles> dat: check ou mod_banhttp://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_ban.html
[03:32] <dat> Music_Shuffle: nah, i'm extremely happy.. this has been bugging me for a few days.
[03:32] <Music_Shuffle> XD
[03:32] <gnoodles> err... http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_ban.html
[03:32] <briguyd> pppl, i have no idea what changes i made, my computer want booting, so i tried allkinds of stuff
[03:32] <vignesh> I run ubuntu on an 400mhz Hp Brio with 160Mb of Ram
[03:32] <dane> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/apcs04.html#id2540989
[03:32] <dat> gnoodles: haha, yea, i just ended up there.  thanks.
[03:32] <briguyd> be back in a few
[03:33] <vignesh> Whenever i start skype i get an error saying segmentation fault
[03:33] <gnoodles> no problem...
[03:33] <maurox> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1907/ does someone knows whay the directory / is with .static in a SATA hd ????
[03:33] <vignesh> so i installed the deb package of skype.. here i get reinstall skype as the error
[03:33] <maurox> why***
[03:34] <GreenD> Anyone here have much experience with creating packages?
[03:34] <vignesh> Even for other applications like flock , firefox i get segmentation fault error when I open another tab
[03:34] <tonyyarusso> GreenD: the MOTU folks would be better for that
[03:34] <vignesh> anyway to solve this problem ?
[03:34] <adamonline> Here's a quickie:  I just installed "xwit" by typing "sudo apt-get install xwit".  Should I be able to use this command from any path without having to change anything?  It doesn't seem to be working...
[03:35] <vignesh> I even tried using the xfce desktop even then I get the  error
[03:35] <tonyyarusso> adamonline: Try 'dpkg -L xwit | grep bin' to see if there's a funny command naming scheme.
[03:35] <gregg> Where do I go to get info about installing software on kubuntu
[03:36] <burnhamd> ok i have a usb keyboard and it doesnt work with the boot menu unless i enable emulation of usb keyboard
[03:36] <vignesh> anyone ?
[03:36] <pppl> dane: by that time it's too late to get another kernel. as i want to install onto the harddisks attached to the controller i already have to boot with a newer kernel.
[03:36] <riotkittie> vignesh: no clue, sorry. have you always had this problem ?
[03:36] <dane> sorry...
[03:36] <burnhamd> however i cant use this in ubuntu because it causes conflict between support of usb keyboards and then the motherboard emulation
[03:37] <tonyyarusso> !software | gregg
[03:37] <burnhamd> any ideas on how to get this to work?
[03:37] <ubotu> gregg: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents and !Offline
[03:37] <tonyyarusso> gregg: Kubuntu wiki might have KDE specific stuff if thta doesn't.
[03:37] <nicholaspaul> Q: Any Songbird experts here? It was playing mp3s, after an upgrade or two it just sits there. Anyone know why?
[03:37] <vignesh> riotkittie, yes.. Yesterday someone asked me to install xfce and that it will improve the performance and that the error won`t come
[03:37] <adamonline> tonyyaruso, it says /usr/bin and /usr/bin/xwit...  That sounds okay, but I wouldn't know...
[03:38] <tonyyarusso> adamonline: /usr/bin/xwit looks good - what happens if you run 'xwit' from a terminal then?
[03:39] <pppl> dane: i think next i'll try installing onto a disk that is attached via onboard ide and then maybe via cp and chroot i can get my system with a new kernel onto the raid-system. a bad and time-wasting workaround but better than not working at all
[03:39] <adamonline> tonyyarusso, Perhaps I'll try running it with some other commands; I was under the impression it didn't need any parameters as it has default actions...
[03:40] <adamonline> tonyyarusso, when I run it from the terminal it just goes to a prompt on the next line...
[03:40] <n2diy> adamonline: tonyyarusso, Run sudo updatedb, and try it again.
[03:40] <vignesh> riotkittie, anyway I will try with fluxbox and wmaker too.. maybe they will work well
[03:40] <vignesh> ty
[03:40] <vignesh> bye
[03:40] <tonyyarusso> adamonline: And not supposed to be a backgrounder I take it.  Huh.
[03:41] <adamonline> tonyyarusso, no, it's supposed to manipulate the window in some way
[03:41] <adamonline> n2diy, I did sudo updatedb, and it seems to be either hanging or working...  going on 45 seconds...
[03:42] <n2diy> adamonline: tonyyarusso, updatedb takes a while, let her cook, you'll get a prompt back when it is done.
[03:42] <adamonline> n2diy, cancel that, back to prompt =)  These terminal things need an hourglass =P
[03:43] <adamonline> n2diy, I still get the same response: nothing apparent happens
[03:43] <n2diy> adamonline: tonyyarusso, Ok, that was my best shot, good luck.
[03:44] <adamonline> n2diy, tonyyarusso, what does it mean to 'deiconify' and 'raise' a window?  That's the default action with no parameters
[03:44] <adamonline> n2diy, thank you anyway =)
[03:44] <tonyyarusso> adamonline: Not sure honestly.  I haven't gotten into the fancy windowing stuff yet
[03:45] <adamonline> tonyyarusso: hah, I'm starting to wonder if I'll be getting into it myself! =O
[03:45] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> oh my god
[03:45] <wolfwalker> I have internet trouble
[03:45] <wolfwalker> As in, how do you connect to the internet through ubuntu?
[03:45] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> Guys, look at the first entry of digg... It is explaining how ignorance of collage students is keeping windows on top of macs...
[03:46] <tonyyarusso> wolfwalker: what kind of connection?
[03:46] <tonyyarusso> asdfjkahsdfjkha: Reading now :)
[03:46] <asdfjkahsdfjkha> rediculous...
[03:46] <Marsmensch> i have a problem with the current version of firefox ... i dont know why, but it slows down my cpu all the time
[03:46] <wolfwalker> Ethernet cable to modem, modem is DSL, provider is Centurytell
[03:46] <wolfwalker> Centurytel does not have tech support that supports linux

[03:48] <bronson> Anyone use a USB Bluetooth adapter?
[03:48] <bronson> I'd like to pull some files off my phone but I'm not finding a decent tutorial out there..
[03:48] <adamonline> tonyyarusso, You spelled asdfjkahsdfjkhas name right?! Is there a way to automatically prefix a name in IRC?  And thanks for the help!  I think it's working; I was expection something more to happen when ran without parameters, but apparently not ::sheepish grin::
[03:49] <n2diy> adamonline: tab completion.
[03:49] <tonyyarusso> adamonline: asd<tab>
[03:49] <adamonline> n2diy: sweeeet! thanks!
[03:50] <nicholaspaul> did someone answer my Songbird question while I was gone???
[03:51] <mzuverink> I read somewhere in forums about a way to keep ubuntu gnome menu entries seperate from kubuntu menu entries, but can seem to locate it again, anyone familiar with this thread?  And if so could I have a link?
[03:51] <n2diy> ! tab
[03:51] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[03:53] <Ratty> Can any of you guys tell me if it makes much difference what memtest I use on my RAM... The processor is an AMD AThlon 64 X2 3800+ .... Would the regular memtest86 or do I need to use memtest86+ ? I already have ran about three memtests with the older version...
[03:54] <adamonline> Okay, I'm off to xwit my night away!  Thanks everybody :)
[03:54] <bradley_> i want to reinstall ubuntu without destroying my home partition. does anyone know of a good howto to use?
[03:54] <n2diy> adamonline: Don't break anything. :)
[03:54] <jvai> ty all.. gn
[03:56] <jessid> hello
[03:56] <sigger> anyone take pity and help a poor soul that can't seem to get ftp running on non-standard ports (cursed ISP!).  And its not a port forwarding issue. Get password prompt, but no data connection.
[03:57] <pppl> sigger: tried passive mode?
[03:58] <bulmer> sigger you have a firewall ?
[03:58] <sigger> I think so, I have pasv_enable=yes; port_enable=no; I have min and max pasv ports
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> sigger: Forward both ports 20 and 21
[03:58] <sigger> I have forwarded through the router 20/21, 8020,8021, and the pasv min thru max ports
[03:58] <user666> hey can anyone tell me how to change the font color in OO? i found a color button but that sets the text to a dark magenta... doesn't let me choose which color.......
[03:59] <sigger> I'm using nonstandard ports cause I recall my ISP wont give 80 or 20
[03:59] <mzanfardino> how do I shutdown X in order to install a new video driver?
[03:59] <pppl> mzanfardino: init 1
[04:00] <Ralith> mzanfardino, you don't.
[04:00] <sapage> ctrl alt f1
[04:00] <pppl> mzanfardino: you could however install it with a running x as well and then hit ctrl + alt + bkspc
[04:00] <n2diy> user666: open office?
[04:00] <MEMEME> simple question, do file transfers genrally download at about 20 to 40 kbs if shared in swarm by about 20 ppl having an 8meg connection... foes that seem normal or is it my comp?
[04:00] <mzanfardino> ctrl-alt-f1 does not shut down x, it merely suspends it
[04:00] <user666> n2diy, yes!!!
[04:00] <mzanfardino> I will try init 1
[04:00] <pppl> sapage: that only gives him a command prompt, but does not shut down x
[04:00] <Ralith> mzanfardino, he said backspace
[04:00] <user666> n2diy, pls tell me you know how to do it
[04:01] <sigger> so I have listen_port=8021 and ftp_data_port=8020
[04:01] <n2diy> user666: you should be able to select colors, maybe right click the button?
[04:01] <lovloss> ^ O ^ hiya
[04:01] <user666> n2diy... doesn't do anything....
[04:01] <sapage> o sorry
[04:01] <bradley_> if i have a home partition how would i reinstall ubuntu without destroying everything in home?
[04:02] <pppl> well, if the kill-scripts don't work (as they do on my 6.06.1) mzanfardino will still have X after init 1...
[04:02] <n2diy> user666: and left clicking it doesn't bring up any options?
[04:02] <user666> n2diy: nope just sets it to a dark magenta
[04:02] <MEMEME> anyone?
[04:02] <pppl> bradley_: as long as you don't tell ubuntu to format partitions, it shouldn't touch your home-partition during reinstall. but why do you want to reinstall it anyway?
[04:03] <n2diy> user666: weird, have you played around in preferences? Though you should be able to do right from the compose window.
[04:03] <user666> n2diy, i know... i looked on google and got a screenshot of some guys open office with a color toolbar open.... trying to get that atm
[04:03] <sapage> I have this ubuntu on a dual boot with my windows install ntfs can i add something to fstab to let me see my windows partitions?
[04:03] <pppl> user666: do you klick on the small triangle pointing downwards right beside the color?
[04:04] <user666> pppl: i dont have a small triangle
[04:04] <n2diy> user666: yes, I haven't played with OO in a while, but I recall doing it right from the app., and not through pref.
[04:05] <bradley_> pppl, my i accidently (because i had a repository enabled that i shouldn't have) upgraded some stuff that made my sound go all wonky.  i've tried everything that i can think of so now i will just reinstall. as long as it doesn't destroy /home i don't mind.
[04:05] <user666> pppl: i think the problem is... my color button is not visible in the toolbar... i have to click the arrow on the right hand side for buttons that didn't fit on the screen.......
[04:05] <n2diy> bradley_: back up /home.
[04:05] <user666> duh!! i maximized the window... now there is an arrow
[04:05] <user666> lol thanks for the help guys
[04:06] <bradley_> n2diy, what does that do?
[04:06] <idiosynchrosy>  /join #wikipedia
[04:06] <humblerodent> roflcoptah
[04:06] <bradley_> n2diy, i already have a separate home partition.
[04:06] <n2diy> bradley_: ok.
[04:06] <efondo> hu r u sure
[04:07] <n2diy> user666: so it is working now?
[04:07] <pppl> bradley_: /home is on an extra-partition, isn't it?
[04:07] <pppl> oh, you already said so.
[04:07] <pppl> then simply reinstall ubuntu and afterwards you can edit /etc/fstab to get your old home-partition mounted there again
[04:09] <bradley_> pppl, when i run the live_cd it will ask to delete the hard disk and i say no. right? but won't i end up with two ubuntus on my computer?
[04:09] <fab5freddy> Somebody please help with this streaming video issue
[04:09] <fab5freddy> Keep getting this error message "Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll"
[04:10] <fab5freddy> There is nothing available via google to help me with this
[04:10] <zoidberg> hey guys can anyone help me with an APTITUDE SEMGENTATION FAULT error?
[04:10] <n2diy> bradley_: no, it will ask to format the drive, that you say no to.
[04:10] <fab5freddy> I should also mention I am using ubuntu amd64 dapper 6.06
[04:10] <pppl> bradley_: you use the live-cd, don't let him delete the complete hard disk but tell him to install ubuntu on exactly the same partition where it is now. you should format this partition. but only if you REALLY have your /home on another partition.
[04:10] <jobelle> hi
[04:11] <n2diy> bradley_: if it asks about partitons, tell it to use the exsisting ones.
[04:11] <fab5freddy> I read on ubuntu.com that this was the place to come for suppport
[04:11] <Alakazamz0r> yes fab5freddy what seems to be your question.
[04:11] <Alakazamz0r> yes fab5freddy what seems to be your question.
[04:11] <jobelle> hji[ooo
[04:12] <Pelo> fab5freddy,  do you beleive everything you read ?
[04:12] <Alakazamz0r> fab5freddy, are you fimiliar w/linux?
[04:12] <jobelle> am how to use this?
[04:12] <bradley_> okay. i'll try that. thanks.
[04:12] <pppl> n2diy: that might cause ubuntu to overwrite his home, might it not? i'd tell ubuntu to use the same root-partition but mount my home-partition by hand afterwards
[04:12] <jobelle> nope!
[04:12] <riyonuk_> Hi, when I edit my sources.list, I come across deb-src, what exactly does this mean?
[04:12] <fab5freddy> I am familiar with linux, i have been using it for almost a year now, have tried knoppix and for the past 6 months ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10
[04:13] <jobelle> u know how to speak tagalog?
[04:13] <Ralith> pppl, it won't overwrite it if it doesn't reformat it
[04:13] <Pelo> fab5freddy,  we'll be asking you questions then
[04:13] <fab5freddy> i am currently using ubuntu 6.06 (amd64), i keep getting this error message when trying to play a stream on nhl.com
[04:13] <n2diy> pppl: I'm not sure, if he has a seperate /home partition, it shouldn't mess with it.(?)
[04:13] <fab5freddy> Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll
[04:13] <pppl> what will it do if he reinstalls it and gives a username that already exists?
[04:13] <Alakazamz0r> fab5freddy, may i PM you?
[04:13] <fab5freddy> i have been trying to figure this out for months. i have spent hours before coming here.  nothing works!
[04:13] <Alakazamz0r> i can fix it for you
[04:14] <Alakazamz0r> i dont feel like getting flamed for my methods though
[04:14] <ericj2190> does anyone know why i get "permission denied" when i try to access any samba shared file with spaces in the filename?
[04:14] <fab5freddy>  Alakazamz0r: yes please
[04:14] <n2diy> pppl: user names aren't kept in /home.
[04:14] <Alakazamz0r> ericj2190, what is your security level at? share?
[04:14] <Pelo> brb
[04:14] <Alakazamz0r> fab5freddy, you have to register to PM.
[04:14] <Alakazamz0r> Have you registered?
[04:15] <fab5freddy>  Alakazamz0r: i can't send you messages because i am not registered.. join #ubuntu64
[04:15] <ericj2190> alakazamz0r, security level for what?
[04:15] <pppl> n2diy: i know, i only wonder what ubuntu will do with an existing /home/pppl when i reinstall it and tell it that i want a new user named pppl and there's already a directory with that name in /home
[04:15] <mzanfardino> I'm tring to install the latest nvidia drivers. when I run the install script, I'm told X needs to be shut down.  ctrl-alt-f1 does not shut X down, and init 1 is too low a level to install the driver.  Can anyone tell me how to shut down X so I can install the driver?
[04:15] <Noah0504> What's the best way to create and seed a torrent under Ubuntu?
[04:15] <ericj2190> i can get files without spaces
[04:15] <Pelo> Noah0504,  utorrent running on wine
[04:15] <Noah0504> Ooo, I never thought about that.  I love uTorrent.
[04:16] <Noah0504> haha
[04:16] <pppl> mzanfardino: you could try init 2. however you really can install the driver within X and then simply hit ctrl + alt + backspace to restart the x-server. i did and it worked well
[04:16] <starry> if I have specific x-values that I want to use in making a graph in spreadsheet, and i have their respective y-values, how can I graph those? When I try, it simply uses the row number as the x-value and creates two separate lines. Can someone help me out?
[04:16] <TheDebugger> mzanfardino: Go to a console "CTRL+ALT+F1", then write "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", install the driver then,"sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[04:16] <Pelo> Noah0504,  I can even tell you how to make it pretty ( it usualy isn'T on wine) but it is a bit involved
[04:17] <bruenig> my utorrent is ugly
[04:17] <mzanfardino> TheDebugger: thank you!
[04:17] <pppl> mzanfardino: you could change via ctrl + alt + f1 to a console and then kill X with kill as well
[04:17] <n2diy> pppl: if it is truely a seperate partion, it should be ignored. That is something I intend to do next time I do an install, but haven't done yet.
[04:17] <Noah0504> Eh, the looks don't normally bother me too much.  I do think someone needs to develop a BitTorrent client on Linux similar to uTorrent.
[04:17] <chable> anyone knows how can i access Nvidia control panel , after i installed nvidia-glx ?
[04:17] <brussel> Why is it that my edgy eft desktop doesn't keep the time syncd despite it being checked to "keep clock synchronized with internet servers"?
[04:17] <bruenig> Noah0504, they are going to port utorrent
[04:18] <Pelo> bruenig,  get a windows theme from deviant art , load it in wine,  it will fuck up , no problem, unload it,  you now have a  user.reg file in the .wine folder,  edit that for the right colours
[04:18] <bjv> hm, running this ./configure script cant find where ubuntu keeps it's GL/ header folder?
[04:18] <brussel> i have to disable that check box and press synchonize now to make the time correct?
[04:18] <bjv> how/what am i supposed to tell the script?
[04:18] <starry> if I have specific x-values that I want to use in making a graph in spreadsheet, and i have their respective y-values, how can I graph those? When I try, it simply uses the row number as the x-value and creates two separate lines. Can someone help me out?
[04:18] <Noah0504> bruenig: Yes!  When is that going to happen?
[04:18] <bruenig> Noah0504, not specified
[04:18] <Noah0504> bruenig: Tomorrow would be a good answer... haha

[04:20] <bjv> anyone compile opengl software? or just know?
[04:20] <bjv> the configure script says: "checking for GL/gl.h... no"

[04:23] <riyonuk_> Hi, when I edit my sources.list, I come across deb-src, what exactly does this mean? Do I need it?
[04:24] <Pelo> riyonuk_,  deb are debian packages  they are also used by ubuntu
[04:25] <bjv> !opengl-dev
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl-dev - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:25] <dequeued> Anyone know how I would go about installing e16?
[04:26] <Pelo> riyonuk_,  I am guessing deb-src is debian-source
[04:26] <pppl> good night everyone. don't stay up to long, sleep is precious ;-)

[04:26] <n2diy> ! e16
[04:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about e16 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:26] <EnsignRedshirt> dequeued: e16 is in the repositories.
[04:26] <riyonuk_> Pelo, so do I need it? Im not a compiler or developer
[04:26] <TheDebugger> bjv: libgl1-mesa-dev probably :/
[04:26] <pppl> riyonuk_: no
[04:26] <dequeued> could I just add an ornery debian repository to sources.list? would that break ubuntu?
[04:26] <Schminux> *time* is precious, sleep is justone of many ways to use it!   Good night!
[04:27] <Pelo> riyonuk_,  if you don'T know what it is , DON'T MESS WITH IT
[04:27] <dequeued> really? I will check again
[04:27] <EnsignRedshirt> dequeued: There is an ubuntu package: enlightenment
[04:27] <riyonuk_> Pelo, so am I free to delete it?
[04:27] <bjv> TheDebugger: "libgl1-mesa-dev is already the newest version"   :\
[04:27] <TheDebugger> hmm :/
[04:27] <dequeued> E: Couldn't find package enlightenment
[04:27] <Pelo> riyonuk_,  it is your comp you can do wath you want with it
[04:27] <bjv> TheDebugger: im not sure why the configure script cant find them
[04:27] <dequeued> Nope
[04:28] <EnsignRedshirt> dequeued: It is in the universe repository (at least in dapper, which is what I am using)
[04:28] <dequeued> Is there a repository I need to uncomment? Sorry, I *am* new to ubuntu
[04:28] <checkmate> sometimes when i run firefox, i get this error message: Firefox is already running, but it is not responding.

[04:29] <riyonuk_> Pelo, yes but what will happen? Thats why Im here, otherwise I would have deleted a long time ago
[04:29] <n2diy> riyonuk_: don't delete it, comment it out.

[04:30] <Ralith> minerale, do you mind using a kde client?
[04:30] <M4th3u2> hi
[04:30] <__mikem> What the h***, why are people doing this
[04:30] <riyonuk_> n2diy, but why? I mean some dont even have a src, just de

[04:30] <Ralith> minerale, kvirc is *very* good
[04:30] <dequeued> Sorry, my cat did that
[04:30] <Madpilot> minerale, what freenode bug? Xchat runs fine here on freenode...
[04:30] <Mez> ah Madpilot, you got there first
[04:30] <minerale> h3xis: I'm running irssi proxy on the back, wanted a nice front end to avoid having the lag
[04:31] <varsendaggr> what is up?
[04:31] <dequeued> Got e16 working when I uncommented the proper repositories
[04:31] <n2diy> riyonuk_: just put a # in front of it, and it will be ignored, if you want it later, remove the # sign.
[04:31] <h3xis> mindframe, what freenode bug?
[04:31] <dequeued> doesn't help that I am really drunk
[04:31] <minerale> madpilot: irssi + xchat + freenode = a feature enabled whereas messages are prepended with +, -, and actions break too
[04:31] <dequeued> thanks guys
[04:31] <minerale> h3xis: ^^
[04:31] <h3xis> that's odd
[04:31] <cas3> is the US repository running slow for anyone else right now?
[04:31] <minerale> there's a perl hack to fix it, but the machine I'm running irssi on does not play nice with perl

[04:32] <h3xis> screaming help really does the trick
[04:32] <M4th3u2> sry
[04:32] <M4th3u2> !ask
[04:32] <riyonuk_> ok
[04:33] <h3xis> M4th3u2, whats wrong
[04:34] <M4th3u2> i execute 'apt-get update ' and return message Connection Refused !!!! normal ?????????
[04:34] <Gun_Smoke> When was Dapper released?
[04:34] <cas3> is the US repository running slow for anyone else right now, or is it just my network? I'm getting bytes instead of kbs
[04:34] <EnsignRedshirt> riyonuk_: Unless you plan to download the source code versions of packages and compile them yourself, there is no harm in commenting out the deb-src entries.  It might even make 'apt-get update' a bit faster.
[04:34] <M4th3u2> edgy eft
[04:34] <h3xis> Gun_Smoke, maybe 6/06?
[04:34] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: 6/06
[04:34] <Gun_Smoke> Ah.. ha.. hence 6.06
[04:34] <Gun_Smoke> I knew that
[04:35] <h3xis> M4th3u2, well, do you have an internet connection on the machine youre running that on?
[04:35] <M4th3u2> sure
[04:35] <h3xis> M4th3u2, did it just start doing this?
[04:35] <Gun_Smoke> So LTS carries until June of 09.
[04:36] <M4th3u2> conection ok
[04:36] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: that's what they say.
[04:36] <EnsignRedshirt> How often will LTS versions be released?
[04:37] <n2diy> EnsignRedshirt: hopefully every five years! :)
[04:37] <Gun_Smoke> EnsignRedshirt:  Every 3yrs I think
[04:37] <Rookie-1> LTS is 5, isnt it ?
[04:37] <nothlit> !lts
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> Rookie-1: they might overlap
[04:37] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[04:38] <n2diy> Rookie-1: support is for 5.
[04:38] <Alakazamz0r> Anyone know if a XDMCP client for Win32?
[04:38] <tonyyarusso> For server deployments only
[04:38] <Rookie-1> Ahh, true
[04:38] <nothlit> regular is 18mo/3y and LTS is 3y/5y
[04:38] <nicholasx> hello
[04:38] <Gun_Smoke> I'm on my 3rd attempt on trying accept edgy.. I'm just not digging it.
[04:38] <nicholasx> is it possible to use kde destop with ubuntu or do you have to install the kubuntu distrobution for that?
[04:39] <Gun_Smoke> Ready to do a clean install of 6.06 in the morning.
[04:39] <h3xis> nicholasx, yes
[04:39] <nicholasx> yes what?  you have to install kubuntu?
[04:39] <h3xis> nicholasx, sudo apt-get install kde i think
[04:39] <CrazyDoode> nicholasx: yup.. just install it and choose it when logging in
[04:39] <h3xis> no
[04:39] <EnsignRedshirt> Is the distinction between desktop and server for LTS just a matter of which packages will be supported? E.g. apache2 supported for 5 years, OpenOffice for 3 years?
[04:39] <craigbass1976> What's the ubuntu equivilent of RH's chkconfig app on?
[04:39] <nothlit> nicholasx, yup, its quite easy, you could even install all of kubuntu

[04:39] <h3xis> kubuntu-desktop changes things
[04:39] <nicholasx> i was running kde prgrams like kb3 and stuff but it was still the gnome desktop i like kde better
[04:39] <h3xis> kdebase is what he wants
[04:40] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: That is what I'm using, and I'm sticking with it, 90% of the problems here seem to be related to Edgy.
[04:40] <nothlit> EnsignRedshirt, the server = daemons, and No x, and there server kernel
[04:40] <niru> in ubuntu how to enter as root
[04:40] <Gun_Smoke> After my upgrade to Edgy, I lost terminal, web browsers, Gaim, and more with Flux.. I asked over there.. They have no idea.'
[04:40] <niru> I am unable to ping to my server

[04:40] <EnsignRedshirt> nothlit: Ah, OK.  There is a different kernel for the server version?
[04:40] <minerale> ok, xchat does not work and neither does konversation (first enables an odd feature on freenode and koversation dies because I'm on too many channels (60+) ) are there any other gui irc clients ?
[04:40] <__mikem> well, I have homework so goodnight
[04:41] <nothlit> EnsignRedshirt, yeah
[04:41] <Crescendo_> Is there a way I can see what repositories packages I have installed are from?
[04:41] <dequeued> Where the hell is zsnes???
[04:41] <Gun_Smoke> I applaud the effort of advancing Linux, Ubuntu esp.. But I have not the time or patience of dealing with it..  I wish I could better contribute to the effort.. But I can't.
[04:41] <n2diy> Gun_Smoke: My box isn't broken, so I'm not going to fix it. In fact, I grabbed the latest updates two days ago, and I haven't rebooted yet. I'm afraid they are going to break something!?

[04:43] <deltad> ubotu, I know that, but do you feel that somebody using gNewSense can ask for help here as part of the Ubuntu Community or do you think gNewSense users are a fork on its own (I ask this because I am considering installing gNewSense on one of my computers)?

[04:48] <varsendaggr> hey my usb mouse keeps falling asleep    how do i make the mouse interval last longer....    iam using fluxbox
[04:48] <sapage> nothlit:  did not get the partition to mount
[04:48] <n2diy> of/off
[04:48] <adamonline> h3xis: Cool, thank you!  I suppose it beats calling another instance of gnome-terminal ;)
[04:49] <lotacus> THAT'S 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 10 MINUTES that I inadvertantly hit shift backspace while I was doing something critical!!!!
[04:49] <riyonuk_> nothlit, but open box doesnt have this theme, I think, its all about the themes :p
[04:49] <craigbass1976> n2diy, right.  I got it anyway with the GUI, but was curious.  I know I can mess around in the /etc/rc dirs, but wanted somethign quicker.
[04:49] <lotacus> that damn log off keyboard short cut really hast to be changed in the next release. LOL
[04:49] <h3xis> adamonline, yeah. the only distro i know off the top of my head where it doesnt come standard is debian sarge, but debian etch is about to release and it comes with it by default
[04:50] <adamonline> h3xis: cool, thanks again =)
[04:50] <swxdan> MasterShrek:  ndiswrapper?
[04:50] <n2diy> craigbass1976: well, once it is setup in rc.d, or intit.d or whatever it is, you never have to worry about it again.
[04:50] <MasterShrek> swxdan sorry can u give me the output for lspci -v also
[04:50] <Pici> !info slab
[04:50] <ubotu> Package slab does not exist in any distro I know
[04:50] <MasterShrek> thats what im thinking swxdan
[04:51] <lotacus> anyone know how to chage or disable shift+backspace? it's not in the keyboard short cut settings
[04:51] <swxdan> MasterShrek: the subsysgtem is d-link
[04:51] <MasterShrek> ive never had good luck with ndiswrapper tho swxdan but some clame it works
[04:51] <nothlit> niru, can you just show us your sources.list
[04:51] <swxdan> MasterShrek:  Dang, just got the card for 10 bucks!
[04:51] <jeff_> Has anyone else's gaim stopped working?
[04:51] <craigbass1976> jeff_, I'm on mine now
[04:51] <swxdan> MasterShrek:  I'll give it a go, thanks for the help!
[04:51] <niru> I comment all lines and gave deb http://203.129.255.181:80/boss tarang main
[04:51] <jeff_> as in refuses to connect
[04:51] <jeff_> damn
[04:51] <lotacus> jeff, nope mine is still working
[04:51] <craigbass1976> jeff_, which protocol?
[04:51] <adamonline> jeff_: Mine's fine, I'm on it now...
[04:52] <niru> nothlit,I commented all lines and gave deb http://203.129.255.181:80/boss tarang main
[04:52] <lotacus> though i'm still using beta 3
[04:52] <jeff_> I reinstalled it and I still cannot connect to my sn
[04:52] <jeff_> and I tried other sn's from other computers in my house
[04:52] <nothlit> niru, well is your repo synced to the official repos?
[04:52] <jeff_> I'm beginning to think I got blacklisted or something
[04:52] <n2diy> ! sn
[04:52] <ubotu> sn: Small NNTP server for leaf sites. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.8-4 (edgy), package size 166 kB, installed size 632 kB
[04:52] <nothlit> niru, also you need at least main and restricted
[04:52] <jeff_> screen name'
[04:53] <nothlit> sapage, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Windows
[04:53] <n2diy> jeff_: ah sn = screen name. :)
[04:53] <jeff_> yea sorry
[04:54] <jeff_> does anyone have any Ideas?
[04:54] <niru> nothlit:but before that it should at least ping
[04:54] <lotacus> I had a problem once with not being able to log in.. I think all I did was delete my gaim account close it then restart gaim and re-add it.
[04:54] <n2diy> jeff_: I'm not using gaim, so, good luck.
[04:54] <niru> nothlit:its not pinging to any system
[04:54] <jeff_> thanks
[04:54] <mzanfardino1> I've run into a bit of a problem.  I've attempted to install the latest nvidia driver and now have lost my desktop completely.  Is there anyway to recover?
[04:54] <CITguy> can someone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for samba?
[04:55] <jeff_> are there any other clients that you guys would recommend until I manage to fix gaim
[04:55] <lotacus> amsn?
[04:55] <n2diy> CITguy: samba.org?
[04:55] <nothlit> niru, well your network may not be configured correctly, or perhaps the server has a firewall?
[04:55] <arrenlex> !samba | CITguy
[04:55] <ubotu> CITguy: 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
[04:55] <jeff_> will amsn work on the aim network?
[04:55] <arrenlex> jeff_: No
[04:55] <lotacus> oh
[04:55] <lotacus> ok
[04:55] <niru> nothlit:has ubuntu any firewall?
[04:55] <lotacus> you have aol account
[04:55] <jeff_> kk
[04:56] <niru> nothlit:but my other systems are pinging
[04:56] <jeff_> then I'm just going to google one
[04:56] <CITguy> is samba what i want to use in order to share files between two Linux machines?
[04:56] <nothlit> niru, um by default? only iptables/netfilter
[04:56] <jeff_> thanks
[04:56] <lotacus> well you can always do a search in synaptic
[04:56] <bulmer> CITguy: no, you can use nfs
[04:56] <n2diy> niru: yes, Firestarter is a good front end for it.
[04:56] <lotacus> most of the apps that I installed were by doing a search and they all seemed pretty good (expept for the horrid games)
[04:56] <mzanfardino1> ok, need a little help getting gnome back up and running.  what utility can I run from CLI to reinstall a working desktop?
[04:56] <niru> n2diy:how can i stop it
[04:56] <callas> ?
[04:57] <arrenlex> mzanfardino1: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:57] <nothlit> !nfs | CITguy
[04:57] <ubotu> CITguy: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[04:57] <lotacus> you may want to uninstall it first
[04:57] <n2diy> niru: do you have Firestarter installed?
[04:57] <lotacus> because it's going to say it's already installed
[04:57] <nothlit> CITguy, well if you have SSH setup, you can always use that
[04:57] <niru> n2diy:In ubuntu no
[04:57] <CITguy> thanks, i'll give those a try
[04:57] <nothlit> CITguy, but between two linux machines? Rofl samba is a windows thing
[04:57] <lotacus> apt-get --uninstall ubuntu-desktop and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:57] <n2diy> niru: ok, thati is how I do it, ask the group here how to do it.
[04:58] <lotacus> unless there is a reinstall command
[04:58] <craigbass1976> nothlit, but isn't samba more versatile than nfs?
[04:58] <zero888> How would i have FIrestarter on boot???????
[04:58] <CITguy> well, (unfortunately) i also have a winblows box that i need to share files across as well
[04:58] <n2diy> niru: they firewall is called ipchains, or iptables.
[04:58] <arrenlex> lotacus: a) ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. What do you expect to gain by removing\reinstalling it? b) There is a reinstall command c) apt-get --uninstall is wrong synatax
[04:58] <arrenlex> syntax*
[04:58] <nothlit> craigbass1976, what are you trying to do? set up shares on windows domains or something?
[04:59] <mzanfardino1> I've already installed the desktop.  It's just that the video driver isn't loading
[04:59] <craigbass1976> nothlit, I don't knwo a whole lot about samba, I think I'd jsut heard that somewhere.
[04:59] <gregg> how do i install vmware so that I can run windows programs
[04:59] <lotacus> arrenlex I was just stating that it will say it's already installed and do nothing, there for whatever he did to break gnome will still be there.
[04:59] <arrenlex> mzanfardino1: That's completely different. That's X. What card?
[04:59] <gregg> do you have any suggestions for what to use to run windows programs
[04:59] <SilenceGold> gregg go to www.howtoforge.com
[04:59] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: nvidia
[04:59] <arrenlex> !wine | gregg
[04:59] <ubotu> gregg: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:59] <IndyGunFreak> I have Firefox 2.0 installed, all plugins(flash9, etc..) work perfectly.  I just installed Opera, how do I get opera to detect flash 9 so i can use it under opera
[04:59] <SilenceGold> there's a tutorial there about installing vmware on ubuntu
[04:59] <nothlit> craigbass1976, I doubt you needs exceed either nfs or samba
[04:59] <arrenlex> mzanfardino1: Do you want 3D acceleration?
[04:59] <nothlit> craigbass1976, but nfs is definitely more linuxy
[05:00] <EnsignRedshirt> gregg: For some programs, wine works just fine.
[05:00] <gregg> I tried installing wine but I don't know how to start running windows programs
[05:00] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: GeForce 5600
[05:00] <arrenlex> mzanfardino1: Do you want 3D acceleration?
[05:00] <lotacus> you can get FreeNAS and run a dedicated box
[05:00] <zero888> Excuse me, how would i can i get firestarter to start everytime i start my computer? even a link would be nice :)
[05:00] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: and I've recently downloaded the latest nvidia driver
[05:00] <gregg> Can I run them from my other hard drive which they are installed
[05:00] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: yes
[05:00] <EnsignRedshirt> gregg: In a terminal: wine program.exe
[05:00] <arrenlex> mzanfardino1: Do you know there's a guide?
[05:00] <arrenlex> !nvidia | mzanfardino1
[05:00] <ubotu> mzanfardino1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:00] <Tox> hi.where's temporary files folder in ubuntu ?
[05:00] <arrenlex> Tox: /tmp
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> Tox: Which kind?
[05:00] <gregg> What do you mean "In a terminal"
[05:00] <arrenlex> Tox: Like in all Linux
[05:00] <Tox> yes
[05:01] <craigbass1976> nothlit, yeah.  I did have trouble though with a nfs share on a fedora box.  I was sharing no problem between fedora machines, but my UID on the Ubuntu box was 1000 and fedora's first one by default is 500.  All set now though
[05:01] <arrenlex> !cli | Tox
[05:01] <ubotu> Tox: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[05:01] <Tox> and its under ?
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> gregg: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[05:01] <gregg> I am clueless on how to run windows in linux
[05:01] <arrenlex> !cli | gregg
[05:01] <ubotu> gregg: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[05:01] <nothlit> IndyGunFreak, Tools, Preferences, Advanced, Content, Plug-in options, but opera should already have all the mozilla/firefox paths added
[05:01] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: problem is, I'm limping along in cli atm... using irssi just to get on here.
[05:01] <arrenlex> (Sorry, tox, cli wasn't for you)
[05:01] <EnsignRedshirt> gregg: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[05:01] <lotacus> zero888,  system>administration>Sessions>Startup Programs then ADD and type in the command to start it up
[05:01] <nothlit> Tox, /tmp
[05:01] <nothlit> Tox, or /var/tmp
[05:01] <zYe> is there anywhere where all terminal commands are listed?
[05:01] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: unless you can recommend a cli browser... I'm kinda sol
[05:01] <ubernoob> Hi, I was wondering about getting wireless to work on ubuntu...
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> zYe: See !cli above
[05:01] <Tox> nothlit: tnx!
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> !wifi | ubernoob
[05:01] <ubotu> ubernoob: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:02] <nothlit> mzanfardino1, w3m is installed by default in ubuntu :)
[05:02] <arrenlex> mzanfardino1: That's not a problem. You can use the w3m or links console browser to see that site.
[05:02] <zYe> tony you talking about the basic commands link?
[05:02] <mzanfardino1> arrenlex: let me check that out
[05:02] <tonyyarusso> zYe: yeah
[05:02] <gregg> Okay I understand the terminal part but how do I start running windows programs already installed on my secondary Hard drive in linux Os
[05:02] <covOPprometheus> I can mount an external ntfs-drive with "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/PLAGUED" but the entry "/dev/sdb1 /media/PLAGUED ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1" in fstab won't automount it at connect; it claims that only root can mount it. What do I have to do for it to automount properly?
[05:02] <zYe> well there are a lot more than that
[05:02] <zYe> eh
[05:02] <tonyyarusso> gregg: Running windows programs?  Why?
[05:02] <arrenlex> gregg: "wine <path to program>"
[05:02] <nothlit> gregg, well, most won't work, but you need to mount that partition and run them with wine /path/to/program.exe
[05:03] <gregg> I have programs I want to run that only work in windows
[05:03] <lotacus> gregg you have to install wine or a flavour of wine such as winex I think, Cedega, or  crossover
[05:03] <EnsignRedshirt> tonyyarusso: Believe it or not, there are one or two programs available in windows that are not available in linux. :)
[05:03] <tonyyarusso> EnsignRedshirt: Never!
[05:03] <gregg> what is the path to program
[05:03] <nothlit> gregg, otherwise, use vmware/qemu and just run the whole partition in emulation
[05:03] <arrenlex> lotacus: winex is the old name for cedega. Cedega is for games.
[05:03] <lotacus> ah
[05:03] <zYe> gregg its like saying
[05:03] <adamonline> EnsignRedshirt: Yeah, like counter-strike :(
[05:03] <n2diy> zYe: google bash
[05:03] <zYe> wine word.exe
[05:03] <nothlit> gregg, the filepath to the executable file
[05:04] <gregg> Oh...
[05:04] <zYe> yea
[05:04] <sapage> I am trying to mount a ntfs partition but when i try to cd into the mount point i get permission denied
[05:04] <covOPprometheus> tonyyarusso, then can you name me a graphic editor on linux than levels with Corel Graphic Suit?
[05:04] <gregg> do I have to have the hard drive mounted
[05:04] <arrenlex> sapage: Wrong permissions. How are you mounting it.
[05:04] <zYe> yes
[05:04] <arrenlex> ?
[05:04] <wolfwalker> Can someone recommend a good audio editor for ubuntu?
[05:04] <nothlit> but instead its wine C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/winword.exe
[05:04] <arrenlex> wolfwalker: audacity
[05:04] <sapage> gregg: yes
[05:04] <gregg> Oh...I see
[05:04] <n2diy> wolfwalker: audacity
[05:04] <wolfwalker> Got that
[05:04] <lotacus> sapage if you have special permissions set on your NTFS drive and encryption, then you won't be able to get into it from linux
[05:04] <nothlit> definitely audacity :)
[05:04] <adamonline> wolfwalker: I second Audacity
[05:04] <sapage> arrenlex: i followed the guide form ubuntu
[05:04] <wolfwalker> Heard something about ardour
[05:04] <craigbass1976> wolfwalker, I'm diggin ardour for multitrack
[05:04] <wolfwalker> But I can't find it
[05:05] <arrenlex> sapage: Link me to this guide of yours, please.
[05:05] <gregg> I have vm ware installed on my computer
[05:05] <sapage> no encryption
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> covOPprometheus: I don't know what corel is like, but I use a combination of Gimp and Inkscape for most things.
[05:05] <gregg> How do I get it to run programs on secondary hard drive
[05:05] <nothlit> sapage, make sure you added the correct mounting options in fstab
[05:05] <arrenlex> gregg: By mounting it.
[05:05] <gregg> Also, how do I get my secondary hard drive to boot up
[05:05] <adamonline> While we're on the topic, what about a sample sequencing software?
[05:05] <nothlit> sapage, if you're still having trouble, you can add uid=sapage or something :)
[05:05] <sapage> !ntfs-3g
[05:05] <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)
[05:05] <gregg> It doesn't show up in my files when i boot up
[05:05] <craigbass1976> wolfwalker, It's in one of the apt repos.  I simply did apt-get install ardour, but I don't remember what had to be enabled first.  You also need JACK
[05:05] <gregg> How do I mount it
[05:05] <covOPprometheus> tonyyarusso, gimp doesn't convince me, been struggling around for a while but can't get my ideas onto the bitmap
[05:06] <arrenlex> sapage: Oh, you're trying ntfs-3g? Sorry, can't help you with that; never needed to write to my ntfs partitions.
[05:06] <nothlit> !inksacpe | covOPprometheus
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about inksacpe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:06] <nothlit> !inkscape | covOPprometheus
[05:06] <ubotu> covOPprometheus: Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics drawing application - see http://www.inkscape.org/ for more
[05:06] <gregg> Sorry for all the questions, I am a newbie
[05:06] <wolfwalker> craigbass1976:  This may sound like a bad joke, but I don't know jack
[05:06] <tonyyarusso> covOPprometheus: Try inkscape then - vectors instead of bitmap
[05:06] <sapage> i dont want to write i just want to read
[05:06] <lotacus> i'm using ntfs3g just perfect
[05:06] <sapage> but people keep pointing me to this
[05:06] <arrenlex> sapage: Then why are you trying to install ntfs-3g?
[05:06] <gregg> I am interested in linux but it is a bit of a chore to get things running with it
[05:06] <wolfwalker> !ardour
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ardour - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:06] <wolfwalker> :/
[05:06] <covOPprometheus> nothlit, tonyyarusso :S doesn't work quiet well for a webdesigner haha
[05:06] <sapage> how do i mount an ntfs partition just for read then?
[05:06] <gregg> Any one know how to use vmware
[05:06] <lotacus> gregg, it was a chore the first time you got windows
[05:06] <arrenlex> sapage: Don't. Reading is very easy. Do you know the device name (/dev/sda1 or whatever) of your ntfs partition?
[05:07] <EnsignRedshirt> covOPprometheus: What kind of graphics editing are you looking for?  For photo editing, Lightzone has a linux version--and it is free.
[05:07] <sapage> yes i got it all right
[05:07] <sapage> i have done this once before
[05:07] <gregg> Yes, but executable files seem much easier to manage
[05:07] <craigbass1976> wolfwalker, hehe.  It's the "Jack Audio Connectin Kit" and though I don't know much jack either, it seems to be some sort of go between for Ardour and ALSA.
[05:07] <gregg> lotacus do you know how to run vmware
[05:07] <sapage> just dont have permission to the mount point
[05:07] <lotacus> no, they are just want you  are accustomed to
[05:07] <arrenlex> sapage: Put a line like this in your fstab:      /dev/sda1       /win/C          ntfs    ro,users,umask=000           0       0
[05:07] <arrenlex> sapage: adjust to your mountpoint and folder.
[05:07] <lotacus> gregg, I only used it in windows
[05:07] <theflyingfool> does anyone know if gmail is down, i cant seem to get a connection with evolution
[05:07] <wolfwalker> Okay, so how do I get jack?
[05:07] <sapage> arrenlex: ta
[05:07] <gregg> lotacus it is installed on my computer with icon but I don't know how to use it
[05:08] <lotacus> yea, and you can get it to run
[05:08] <arrenlex> sapage: the umask=000 basically means "everyone can read this folder". if that's too loose for you, adjust this permission. umask is the opposite of the hexcode you'd use in chmod: chmod 777 = umask 000
[05:08] <lotacus> i dont know how it functions in linux
[05:08] <gregg> Will wine run most executable files
[05:08] <covOPprometheus> EnsignRedshirt, I'm looking for a complete pixel-graphics-editor, sort of photoshop and others, hehe or someone that helps me to get the last 20% of corel working under wine (draw already works at it's full) ;)
[05:08] <bjv> opengl headers could not be found because of a missing symlink
[05:09] <arrenlex> gregg: you should look on http://appdb.winehq.org for your program. You have about a 50/50 chance of it starting at all.
[05:09] <bjv> config script expected to find them in /usr/X11R6/include/GL/
[05:09] <EnsignRedshirt> covOPprometheus: I also use Picture Window Pro 3.5.  This is a commercial windows program, but I have had no problems running it in wine.
[05:09] <gregg> So what good is it to convert to linux if I can't run my windows programs that I have installed
[05:09] <semi-fly> ....
[05:10] <sapage> arrenlex: when i create the mount point in /media/ do i need to change the permission on that folder?
[05:10] <theflyingfool> gregg: there are probably good replacements for the windows progs
[05:10] <arrenlex> sapage: It won't do any good.
[05:10] <arrenlex> sapage: AFAIK.
[05:10] <EnsignRedshirt> covOPprometheus: But it is primarily a photo editor, not for full blown graphics layout stuff.
[05:10] <covOPprometheus> EnsignRedshirt, what are you working for?
[05:10] <sapage> ok
[05:10] <EnsignRedshirt> covOPprometheus: Just personal hobby use.
[05:10] <gregg> theflyingfool but these programs I have to run, Linux does not have them
[05:10] <n2diy> gregg:  you don't have to pay tribute to M$ every few years. You don't havet to worry about virus, and worms, etc...
[05:10] <theflyingfool> gregg:  what programs are you trying to run?
[05:11] <nothlit> gregg, there are lots of software equivalents for things from windows
[05:11] <arrenlex> gregg: Some people use Linux because it's Free, or because they're tired of Windows or Microsoft. If you don't like it, don't use it. It's not for everyone.
[05:11] <wolfwalker> Pay tribute
[05:11] <wolfwalker> lol
[05:11] <Popo1> theflyingfool: tha's a good question
[05:11] <arrenlex> gregg: Good point... No virii\spyware.
[05:11] <covOPprometheus> EnsignRedshirt, hmm ok, I'll take a look at them, but I seriously doubt that they will be sufficient
[05:11] <n2diy> gregg:  And you don't have to upgrade hardware to run the new software.
[05:12] <lotacus> I tried linux again because I was bored of windows
[05:12] <lotacus> lol;
[05:12] <wolfwalker> So how and where do I get ardour?
[05:12] <n2diy> wolfwalker: google?
[05:12] <theflyingfool> whats the wine list of working apps url
[05:12] <gregg> arrenlex  I want to run 64 bit processor and Linux is good with this but I can't run my programs on linux.  they are not windows programs, they are programs installed on Windows OS

[05:12] <covOPprometheus> EnsignRedshirt, but thanks anyway
[05:12] <sushi_> lotacus : think of all the GB's you'd have if you just deleted windows for good
[05:12] <dick-richardson> How do I prevent Ubuntu from automatically logging onto unsecured wifi access points on boot?
[05:12] <Popo1> I use Linux 'cause the community treat me like a User, not like a client
[05:12] <covOPprometheus> I can mount an external ntfs-drive with "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/PLAGUED" but the entry "/dev/sdb1 /media/PLAGUED ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1" in fstab won't automount it at connect; it claims that only root can mount it. What do I have to do for it to automount properly?
[05:12] <arrenlex> gregg: If they are designed for Windows, they are Windows programs.
[05:12] <lotacus> sushi_ I have actually concidered it
[05:13] <gregg> arrenlex:  oh
[05:13] <lotacus> ubuntu has lasted longer on my system then any other distro
[05:13] <sushi_> lotacus : i just did a few weeks ago i havent had to log into windows it feels so nice
[05:13] <theflyingfool> D*** IT evoluton keeps tyming out on downloading my gmail account
[05:13] <wolfwalker> YAY!
[05:13] <arrenlex> gregg: I also urge you not to use 64-bit Linux. You will not get any benefits from a 64-bit machine for normal desktop use, and it creates a lot of compatibility headaches (for example, no Flash, no wine, no binary media codecs... or, at least, these things are very hard to set up)
[05:13] <piao> is any body use ipod shuffle 2   in ubuntu?
[05:13] <wolfwalker> I didn't know it was ardour-gtk
[05:13] <EnsignRedshirt> covOPprometheus: Sure thing.  Since I am just interested tweaking digital photos, they work for me.
[05:13] <wolfwalker> They just told me ardour
[05:13] <wolfwalker> :/
[05:14] <craigbass1976> wolfwalker, huh? I havne't been following...
[05:14] <sushi_> theflyingfool : im 99% sure that its a configuration problem       check youor settings
[05:14] <arrenlex> wolfwalker: apt-cache search <terms> is your best friend
[05:14] <lotacus> sushi_ I will problem take the leap when I get accustomed to being able to fix things if something goes wrong. So when I know basic commands and syntax, and I can trouble shoot problems on my own, then I will move over from windows.
[05:14] <wolfwalker> Eh?
[05:14] <wolfwalker> Elaborate please arrenlex
[05:14] <EnsignRedshirt> wolfwalker: ...or packages.ubunut.com
[05:14] <theflyingfool> sushi_: all my settings worked yesterday...
[05:14] <carkeys> Hey everybody!... i got jsut a few questions.  is there a Peer Guardian like application for Ubuntu (one w/ a GUI) and is there a better alternative to Vmware ( i need to emulate a Xp instal for dreamweaver 08 and office 07)  Thanks.
[05:14] <sushi_> lotacus : you're right it does take some research and reading but its worth it
[05:14] <lotacus> like last time I reinstalled Ubuntu because I messed up my xorg.conf and I didnt know how to fix it in console. LOL
[05:14] <EnsignRedshirt> wolfwalker: oops: packages.ubuntu.com
[05:14] <arrenlex> wolfwalker: apt-cache search is a command used to search for available packages. I typed in "apt-cache search ardour" and it gave me a list of packages matching "ardour" in description or string.
[05:15] <arrenlex> wolfwalker: I suppose you could also use the search feature of synaptic, or packages.ubuntu.com
[05:15] <sushi_> lotacus : tar your /etc directory often
[05:15] <theflyingfool> how do i clean the out the cache of downloaded packages, via command line
[05:15] <arrenlex> theflyingfool: apt-get clean
[05:15] <nothlit> apt-get clean
[05:15] <wolfwalker> Neat
[05:15] <wolfwalker> Thanks
[05:15] <Tox> need an advice .. what model of printer i shud buy  ubuntu cud recognise

[05:16] <wolfwalker> Thanks to all
[05:16] <kitche> Tox: any hp will probably work
[05:16] <arrenlex> wolfwalker: yw
[05:16] <Tox> hp sucks the same as Trust as cam
[05:16] <lotacus> I could not believe that Ubuntu recognized my Logitech headset and Nostromo game pad LOL
[05:16] <wolfwalker> And especiall to arrenlex
[05:16] <zYe> i want my clock back to the right corner!
[05:16] <arrenlex> ;)
[05:17] <theflyingfool> whats the command to check if ipv6 is working or dead sys wide
[05:17] <dick-richardson> zYe: unlock it from the panel and move it
[05:17] <sapage> arrenlex: i did as you said but everytime i try to look at the point i mounted it i get a permission error
[05:17] <kitche> Tox: well their printers work nice in Linux, and pretty much every computer company is bad actually
[05:17] <kitche> theflyingfool: ip a|grep ipv6
[05:17] <arrenlex> sapage: That's a configuration file. You'd need to mount the partition.
[05:17] <zee707> hi
[05:17] <dick-richardson> How do I prevent Ubuntu from automatically logging onto unsecured wifi access points on boot?
[05:17] <Tox> not all
[05:17] <zYe> it isnt movin
[05:18] <arrenlex> sapage: Keep running "sudo umount <mountpoint>" until it tells you nothing is mounted. Then run "mount <mountpoint>" WITHOUT sudo
[05:18] <zYe> nvm
[05:18] <dick-richardson> right click on it, the choose move
[05:18] <arrenlex> sapage: Or just reboot. This will sort itself out on restart.
[05:18] <theflyingfool> i have an odd question, with ip a|grep ipv6 nothing shows up, but firefox didnt work until i disalbed ipv6 through it
[05:18] <sushi_> Anyone know how to remove the password prompt after closing my laptop lid?  It's annoying (xubuntu)
[05:18] <zee707> anyone know a way to install libxss-dev on edgy (it has dependency problems) ?
[05:18] <kitche> dick-richardson: have your wirless card not come on at boot or turn off the scanning feature
[05:18] <Tox> its a curse i buy hardware ubuntu cant recognise lol
[05:18] <dick-richardson> sushi_: alt-f2, then type gconf-editor
[05:19] <sushi_> dick-richardson: i use xfce not gnome
[05:19] <EnsignRedshirt> Tox: You could pretend to install a printer, and take a look at the list of Manufacturers and Models that show up (Use System ->Administration -> Printing)
[05:19] <arrenlex> Dammit. My chair armrests are on different levels because one is broken and it's so disorienting. >=|
[05:19] <sapage> arrenlex: sapage@sap:~$ mount /dev/sdb2 /media/storage/
[05:19] <sapage> mount: only root can do that
[05:19] <dick-richardson> sushi_: ahh...not sure which file gets changed...
[05:19] <arrenlex> sapage: No.
[05:19] <sushi_> zee707 maybe the dependencies are located on a repository that is not in your apt sources list
[05:19] <Flannel> sapage: use sudo
[05:19] <sapage> i unmounted it
[05:19] <sapage> sudo mount?
[05:19] <Flannel> sapage: right, prepend sudo to your command
[05:19] <Tox> that model is in the list but dznt work
[05:19] <arrenlex> sapage: Keep running "sudo umount /media/storage" until it tells you that nothing is mounted. Then run "mount /dev/sdb2"
[05:20] <carkeys> can somebody answer a question of mine ?
[05:20] <sapage> o ok
[05:20] <arrenlex> Flannel: No. He wants to put it into fstab so he has read permission.
[05:20] <EnsignRedshirt> arrenlex: Unless there is a dpkg-reconfigure armrests command, I don't think we can help you with that.
[05:20] <n2diy> carkeys: not unless you ask it.
[05:20] <mark__o> Anyone have experience with Automatix, Medibuntu, and Easyubuntu, on Edgy? What order to use them in? Should all be used?
[05:20] <Flannel> !automatix | mark__o
[05:20] <ubotu> mark__o: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:20] <arrenlex> EnsignRedshirt: Stupid #ubuntu channel! You're so unhelpful! I'm going back to Windows WAAAH
[05:20] <dick-richardson> !WorksForMe
[05:20] <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.
[05:21] <carkeys> n2diy: is there a peer guardian like application for ubuntu ?
[05:21] <Tox> EnsignRedshirt: read more on internet about hp deskjet 1020 and driver for it on internet
[05:21] <n2diy> carkeys: what is peer guardian?
[05:21] <EnsignRedshirt> arrenlex: At least there you could pay some big bucks and get some new Microsoft armrests.

[05:21] <carkeys> n2diy: its a firewall.
[05:21] <dick-richardson> content filter, isn't it?
[05:21] <lotacus> peer guardian. wow I miss that ap
[05:21] <Flannel> arrenlex, sapage, you need a umask to make it readable/writable by people.  not running mount as a regular user.  but, fstab is different than mounting.
[05:21] <ubernoob> grr this wireless is pissin me off lol
[05:21] <funkdollar> hello folks - how can i change the hostname safely ? By edit /etc/hostname by hand ?

[05:22] <nothlit> mark__o, i recommend just following the wiki to get java/flash/codecs working
[05:22] <arrenlex> EnsignRedshirt: Maybe... but I would have to rest my elbows on a proprietary armrest and I couldn't move to a different armrest in the future because I wouldn't be able to use my old arm positions. = /
[05:22] <n2diy> carkeys: yes, it is already installed, if you are running X install Firestarter, and you'll have a nice front end to it.
[05:22] <theflyingfool> Stupid ?, why cant i edit tags with Rhythmbox
[05:22] <lotacus> it's nice now that I installed the 32bit version of firefox. could never get anytihng to work properly with the 64bit version.
[05:22] <arrenlex> Flannel: Yes, we put a umask in the fstab. We're going through the part where we unmount the old partition and remount it with new settings.
[05:22] <sapage> arrenlex:  cheers feel like a bit of an idiot after that working now :P
[05:22] <Flannel> carkeys: dansguardian is... I believe similar
[05:22] <dick-richardson> bah, firestarter...learning iptables takes some time, but you know you're setting your network up the way you want
[05:23] <carkeys> n2diy: thats a front end for IPtables. i need Peer guardian (it has special lists that i use)
[05:23] <funkdollar> ubernoob, wireless has always been a pain
[05:23] <arrenlex> sapage: Thankfully, you don't have to do this again :) Now that it's in your fstab, it will automount on boot with proper permissions.
[05:23] <funkdollar> Flannel, thank you :-)
[05:23] <EnsignRedshirt> arrenlex: Yeah, and... nah, I'll stop now :)
[05:23] <Flannel> arrenlex: ah, sorry.  That's what I get for coming in halfway into a help session
[05:23] <arrenlex> sapage: Which is what you want, right?
[05:23] <nothlit> dick-richardson, eh, i just use a router
[05:23] <kitche> dick-richardson: you do know firestarter is just a frontend to iptables so in reality your still using iptables :P
[05:23] <n2diy> carkeys: ok, good luck.
[05:23] <dick-richardson> nothlit: even easier :D
[05:23] <Flannel> carkeys: check out dansguardian
[05:23] <ubernoob> yeah funkdollar... it's a 4318 broadcom... trying to figure out where i went wrong in the forum post.
[05:24] <sapage> yep
[05:24] <dick-richardson> kitche: true, but it throws a ton of rules that I don't particularly care about
[05:24] <sapage> just working out the permissions was all
[05:24] <mark__o> nothlit: really? how about EasyUbuntu, that one looks good
[05:24] <fiveiron> is there a way to set the sytem to use a non-graphical startup?

[05:25] <nothlit> Why does the factoid mention bum but not rcconf
[05:25] <lotacus> could you not just use snort?
[05:25] <funkdollar> ubernoob, i am currently using ndiswrapper and it works like a charm
[05:25] <ubernoob> funkdollar, what did you have to do?
[05:25] <fiveiron> arrenlex: ....  dude... all I want is to monitor the startup as it happens... i still want the system to boot into gdm... just not show the Ubuntu Logo and the loading bar AS the system boots
[05:26] <ubernoob> yeah i have ndiswrapper up, but i keep getting a driver error installing
[05:26] <dick-richardson> Is there a way to prevent Ubuntu from auto connecting to open wifi access points on boot...shy of turning the radio off?
[05:26] <Flannel> fiveiron: you need to remove quiet and splash from your boot options (grub menu)
[05:26] <kitche> fiveiron: what do you mean by non-graphical though the bootsplash or the gdm?
[05:26] <arrenlex> fiveiron: Oh! That boot. That's easy. Go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove "quiet" from the kopt line
[05:26] <arrenlex> fiveiron: (and splash)
[05:26] <fiveiron> thx
[05:26] <carkeys> One other question: is there a better alternative to Vmware ( i need to emulate XP sp2) ?
[05:26] <arrenlex> fiveiron: then run sudo update-grub

[05:30] <theflyingfool> i know how to use && in command line, but why isnt it just &

[05:31] <jeff_> I just tried kopete and a new screen name
[05:31] <kitche> theflyingfool: & is typically to send a process to the background

[05:33] <dick-richardson> n2diy: locate firestarter > sudo rm
[05:34] <dick-richardson> doesn't work
[05:34] <arrenlex> dick-richardson: I think you're looking for locate firestarter | xargs sudo rm
[05:34] <juxhi> ok my laptop doesn't list my pcmcia wireless card in the lspci
[05:34] <riyonuk_> alrighty thanks
[05:34] <PirateHead> I'm having trouble UN-installing packages in Ubuntu 6.10. dpkg swears that the package has been removed, but there are still data files left in /usr/share/applications/whatever, etc
[05:34] <arrenlex> dick-richardson: Please be careful running that, though.
[05:34] <beginn3r> any solution??
[05:34] <nothlit> riyonuk_, yeas, murrine is just a gtk theme engine, doesn't affect a window manager
[05:34] <dick-richardson> arrenlex: will do..I've gone through everything found int he locate and I don't want any of it
[05:35] <beginn3r> bulmer, ?
[05:35] <n2diy> theflyingfool: why not just un-install firestarter?
[05:35] <bulmer> beginn3r: every entry in /etc/shadow should have a corrresponding user in /etc/passwd..so you can copy /etc/shadow but remove the field for password and replace it with x
[05:35] <n2diy> theflyingfool: whoops, ignore last.
[05:35] <mister_roboto> PirateHead: you need to use  --purge
[05:35] <juxhi> how do i make it see the card
[05:35] <dick-richardson> arrenlex: thank you!
[05:35] <sapage> can you map all the buttons on a logitech mx500?
[05:36] <dick-richardson> n2diy: it is uninstalled, it left a bunch of crap
[05:36] <n2diy> dick-richardson:  why not just un-install firestarter?
[05:36] <sapage> i want to be able to use button 5 as a back button like in windows
[05:36] <beginn3r> the problem is /etc/shadow wasn't there  after I installed my edgy
[05:36] <n2diy> dick-richardson:  ok
[05:36] <dick-richardson> language .xml files mostly...was just bugging me
[05:36] <beginn3r> so i copied from ubuntu hoary
[05:36] <beginn3r> togethe r with  the /etc/passwd
[05:36] <ubernoob> funkdollar i sent you a pm
[05:36] <PirateHead> mister_roboto: I was under the impression that --purge only deleted some sort of residual config files, and a normal uninstall shoudl remove data files
[05:36] <PirateHead> mister_roboto: am I wrong in that assumption?
[05:36] <juxhi> i did ask a question hmmm no answer?
[05:37] <bulmer> beginn3r: what do you have now?..and if you are playing around anyways..might as well re-install
[05:37] <beginn3r> but I didn't overwrite /etc/group though
[05:37] <mister_roboto> read the man page PirateHead
[05:37] <PirateHead> k, will re-read. thanks.
[05:37] <funkdollar> ubernoob, wait i didnt get it because it was blocked
[05:38] <ubernoob> funkdollar i have to register quick
[05:38] <n2diy> dick-richardson: > is used for piping input and output, try & in its place.
[05:38] <theflyingfool> how do i figure out what key a key in keyboard shortcuts is talking about
[05:38] <funkdollar> ubernoob, i am registered and authenticated now
[05:38] <zYe> i have a .dll file i want to add to a wine directory
[05:38] <beginn3r> any smarter solution rather than re-install?
[05:38] <zYe> how can i
[05:38] <funkdollar> ubernoob, dont worry speak it up in here thats what the room is for
[05:38] <n2diy> dick-richardson:  or maybe it is &&
[05:39] <mister_roboto> PirateHead: uninstall still leaves data files hanging around
[05:39] <jaggz-> where's the install log?  I just used aptitude to install "fdupes", and it installed python2.3 (or 3.2 or something), and then my vi stopped working and the vim binary seems to be missing.. what the hell happened?
[05:39] <n2diy> jaggz-: /var/log
[05:39] <uberno0b> okay funkdollar... how is the file system set up in linux? I just got it today for the first time ever.
[05:39] <sapage> where do i put themes in ubuntu so i can use them?
[05:39] <jaggz-> I hope this "remove duplicate files script" didn't remove stuff on my system
[05:39] <funkdollar> uberno0b, first of all get rid of everything related to the opensource bcm4318 drive
[05:39] <funkdollar> uberno0b, first of all get rid of everything related to the opensource bcm4318 driver
[05:39] <uberno0b> funkdollar I have it blacklisted.
[05:39] <zYe> how can i put a .dll into the wine system???????
[05:40] <jaggz-> zye, google for:  install dll wine   ?
[05:40] <blueprints88888> can anyone give some help with AIrcrack or Aireplay??????
[05:40] <theflyingfool> where are keymaps stored, so i can look at them
[05:40] <jaggz-> I would have googled for my answer, but I like associating with people .. thanks n2diy
[05:40] <kreativefinally> hello
[05:40] <funkdollar> write:  sudo lsmod|grep -i bcm
[05:40] <funkdollar> and tell me what it says
[05:40] <Tehkewl1> I have had something bothering me for some time now, my laptop has an ati radeon mobility, running Kubuntu 6.06. The problem is that every so often (more often than not) it fails to change resolution and crashes, leaving me with a screen with a screwed up stripy pattern on my screen
[05:41] <funkdollar> if it doesnt fond it it is ok
[05:41] <arrenlex> funkdollar: Why do you need to use sudo to list modules?
[05:41] <n2diy> jaggz-: roger that, plenty of them here!
[05:41] <jaggz-> [REMOVE, NOT USED]  vim
[05:41] <Tehkewl1> then I have to hold the power button now
[05:41] <TaJMoX> Tehkewl1 : you use fglrx ?
[05:41] <nothlit> Tehkewl1, what video driver are you using
[05:41] <funkdollar> arrenlex, you dont wrong of me
[05:41] <lotacus> nah sounds like he's using proprietary.
[05:41] <jaggz-> lol.. not used.. it must have something to do with using checkinstall to install my own compiled version of vim
[05:41] <funkdollar> but its a simple list command
[05:41] <arrenlex> funkdollar: come again? o_O
[05:41] <beginn3r> anyone can really  help me with  that?
[05:41] <uberno0b> and funkdollar i have been trying to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809&page=1
[05:41] <n2diy> theflyingfool: check out "man loadkeys"
[05:42] <bulmer> beginn3r: you dont understand what I suggested?
[05:42] <funkdollar> arrenlex, i mean it was my mistake but not a fatal one since the command will list the required modules
[05:42] <Tehkewl1> I dunno what I'm using, whatever kubuntu had built in
[05:42] <jaggz-> how can I tell ubuntu/debian that my vim install is used??? lol
[05:42] <kitche> jaggz-: ?
[05:42] <arrenlex> funkdollar: I know. I was just commenting for your knowledge.
[05:42] <jaggz-> kitche, hey there!  nice to see you again
[05:42] <beginn3r> BUlmer? to reinstall?
[05:42] <beginn3r> I replied
[05:43] <beginn3r> whether there is better  solution than that..
[05:43] <beginn3r> :)
[05:43] <kitche> jaggz-: so you don't have vim or vi
[05:43] <bulmer> beginn3r: i missed it...yeah maybe you need to re-install..but you also did not read the other suggestion
[05:43] <nothlit> jaggz-, you uninstall ubuntu's vim
[05:43] <Andymeows> can anyone recommend a good book on linux device drivers using C?
[05:43] <juxhi> so no answer to the pcmcia question?
[05:43] <nothlit> jaggz-, checkinstall automatically installs your prog for you
[05:43] <beginn3r> bulmer, what is the other suggestion?
[05:43] <beginn3r> copying  the /etc/shadow?
[05:43] <beginn3r> which I  already  replied too?
[05:43] <bulmer> beginn3r: every entry in /etc/shadow should have a corrresponding user in /etc/passwd..so you can copy /etc/shadow but remove the field for password and replace it with x
[05:44] <jaggz-> I uninstalled ubuntu's vim and compiled my own (the new package wasn't available, so I compiled one, then used "checkinstall" to install it under the new name and version)
[05:44] <bulmer> Andymeows: hang on..let me check
[05:44] <beginn3r> bulmer,I guess you didn't read my reply on that...
[05:44] <jaggz-> it installed fine, and I've been using it.. but aptitude just uninstalled vim automatically upon installation of an unrelated program
[05:44] <n2diy> Andymeows: google for Jan Axelrod and parallel ports.
[05:44] <funkdollar> uberno0b, make a directory in your home folder called BCM4318 or sthing easy to distinguish
[05:44] <funkdollar> copy there all required windows drivers
[05:44] <theflyingfool> the locations in man keyload is wrong
[05:44] <bulmer> Andymeows: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/
[05:45] <dick-richardson> Is there a way to prevent Ubuntu from auto connecting to open wifi access points on boot...shy of turning the radio off?
[05:45] <kitche> jaggz-: my ubuntu did that to me actually for some reason
[05:45] <bulmer> beginn3r: no i have not..
[05:45] <n2diy> theflyingfool: I said loadkeys
[05:45] <uberno0b> funkdollar: so go to file broswer, click on home and then into the ubuntu folder?
[05:45] <jaggz-> kitche, I'm trying to figure out something.. perhaps something makes a package "standalone" or not..
[05:46] <kitche> jaggz-: it has to do with installing packages with a different package manager then the one you use at least it was for me
[05:46] <beginn3r> bulmer  than scroll up and re-read
[05:46] <theflyingfool> n2diy: my mind is worse then my typing, that is the man i tried after looking again
[05:46] <beginn3r> I already replied to  that question twice
[05:46] <funkdollar> after that follow the advice from the page but use the drivers you copied there
[05:46] <Andymeows> bulmer: thanks a lot!
[05:46] <bulmer> yeah right..am the one helping you
[05:46] <funkdollar> uberno0b,  yes
[05:46] <jaggz-> like, if it's depended on, but those don't exist.. then it's not needed -- that has to exist to keep the system clean.  I like.  :)  but I can't have that with my packages which are standalone
[05:46] <uberno0b> funkdollar: did that
[05:46] <jaggz-> now I have to remake vim too.. bleh
[05:46] <bulmer> Andymeows: np
[05:46] <n2diy> theflyingfool: so you couldn't find the keymap file locations with man loadkeys?
[05:46] <funkdollar> now copy  the .sys and .inf files in there
[05:47] <beginn3r> bulmer, yeah you're helping me,  but you're not reading my reply to  your question
[05:47] <theflyingfool> n2diy: the places it says to look show up empty
[05:47] <beginn3r> though  I did so twice
[05:47] <beginn3r> yet you're repeating  the same suggestion for  3 times
[05:47] <uberno0b> funkdollar what .sys and .inf files?
[05:47] <bulmer> beginn3r: can you repeat your reply please
[05:47] <dick-richardson> beginn3r: you could have answered 5 more times by now :P
[05:47] <funkdollar> uberno0b, the windows driver files
[05:47] <n2diy> theflyingfool: bummer, I'm getting ready to start a project that depends on loadkeys, this is bad news.
[05:47] <funkdollar> ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers
[05:48] <beginn3r> my reply  was, when I installed the edgy through bootstrap, /etc/shadow wasn't present
[05:48] <funkdollar> find these files first - do you have them ?
[05:48] <PirateHead> mister_roboto: I ran dpkg -P and the data files are still there.
[05:48] <theflyingfool> n2diy: maybe im just stupid, but i cant find it with loadkeys
[05:48] <[ithaycu] > hello
[05:48] <beginn3r> so I copied the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from  hoary
[05:48] <beginn3r> which is on a different  box
[05:48] <beginn3r> forgotten that  some entries will be missing
[05:48] <uberno0b> funkdollar yes the .sys and .inf files are in there
[05:48] <funkdollar> i have a pair of those but i dont know if they will be identical - bcm4318 is a device from hell
[05:48] <bulmer> beginn3r: okay, you can add them in
[05:48] <beginn3r> from  the edgy /etc/passwd that has been replaced
[05:49] <n2diy> theflyingfool: I haven't tried yet myself, but if this is true, I'm back where I started from.
[05:49] <jaggz-> kitche, looking for a solution still :)
[05:49] <[ithaycu] > What's a good way to trouble shoot random reboots?
[05:49] <floating> Hi. How to install a python game ? There are .py files and some other files in the untarred directory for installation
[05:49] <jaggz-> I'd hate to not use checkinstall now that I used it the first time :)
[05:49] <theflyingfool> does anyone have any ideas on how i can figure out what key 0x74 is
[05:49] <beginn3r> bulmer, the problem is, I don't  know what acess to add to  them
[05:49] <beginn3r> as example for
[05:49] <[ithaycu] > floating: do you have python installed?
[05:49] <mister_roboto> PirateHead: sorry, guess you'll have to remove any extra droppings manually then :)   maybe -P only cleans up the . directories in $HOME?
[05:50] <beginn3r> Debian-exim:x:109:
[05:50] <arrenlex> floating: You can execute a .py file with the command "python <file.py>"
[05:50] <beginn3r> that was taken from /etc/group
[05:50] <funkdollar> jaggz-, checkinstall is cool especially if you have accidentally installed a huge package with make install and then there was no rule to "make uninstall"
[05:50] <EnsignRedshirt> [ithaycu] : First: run memtest when you boot (it's one of the options in the list of kernels).  After that, you'll have to ask someone else.
[05:50] <kitche> jaggz-: you still have the vim package?
[05:50] <emss> theflyingfool: ?
[05:50] <bulmer> beginn3r: thats why I suggest also to re-install..guessing what they are and what home directories..is too much work..may as well re-install
[05:50] <funkdollar> jaggz-, after this experience its great
[05:50] <Nuki> Hello, had catastrophic problem with ubuntu... installed from live CD (running that now) install failed at 94%, and ubuntu fully crashed before I could file a bug report.  Now... windows doesn't boot... all I have is the live CD... :-(  Tell me there's a quick fix for all this...?
[05:50] <emss> theflyingfool: use xev maybe?
[05:50] <[ithaycu] > EnsignRedshirt: I'm running a memtest off the boot cd now
[05:51] <floating> arrenlex: thx
[05:51] <jaggz-> wow.. searching for:  "REMOVE, NOT USED" checkinstall   turned up almost nothing.
[05:51] <beginn3r> bulmer, the problem with  reinstalling is, I don't have edgy CD and depending on installing them through  bootstrap
[05:51] <Niosop> Hello, I'm trying to get OSS or ALSA w/ OSS emulation working w/ a SiS7019 Audio controller.  Anyone here gotten this to work w/ Ubuntu, or can offer any guidance?
[05:51] <bulmer> beginn3r: also you can boot from a liveCD and check the same /etc/passwd and copy it over
[05:51] <PirateHead> mister_roboto: what command do you usually use to uninstall a package? perhaps I am missing something? example package is the game Nexuiz, which is in the default ubuntu repository, so it should be pretty well-oiled, yes? I used "sudo dpkg -r nexuiz" to remove it, and it removed nothing or close to nothing.
[05:51] <[ithaycu] > EnsignRedshirt: thx for the help.
[05:51] <emss> Nuki: just need to install/configure a boot manager
[05:51] <beginn3r> bulmer, again.. I don't have edgy  CD
[05:52] <emss> or reinstall the windows mbr
[05:52] <beginn3r> as stated above
[05:52] <dick-richardson> beginn3r: it's not feasible for you to download one?
[05:52] <nothlit> PirateHead, apt-get remove packagename
[05:52] <nothlit> PirateHead, with a sudo, of course
[05:52] <PirateHead> nothlit: does dpkg usually do a lousy job at removing packages?
[05:52] <bulmer> beginn3r: well I take it its not that much different than your dapper(?)
[05:52] <dick-richardson> PirateHead: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove pkgname
[05:52] <beginn3r> dick-richardson, my cd burner is not working the reason why  I have to install  through  bootstrap
[05:52] <EnsignRedshirt> [ithaycu] : Probably not much help, but you're welcome anyway :)
[05:52] <emss> PirateHead: you should use aptitude over the manual tools
[05:52] <dick-richardson> ahh
[05:52] <mister_roboto> PirateHead: i use apt-get remove
[05:52] <PirateHead> Okay, will try that. Thanks all.
[05:52] <beginn3r> bulmer, the problem is, it is different  the reason why some entries missing
[05:53] <dick-richardson> apt-get --purge autoremove does a more effective job
[05:53] <beginn3r> the one like
[05:53] <PirateHead> I couldn't find out how to use Synaptic at all.
[05:53] <beginn3r> Debian-exim
[05:53] <PirateHead> I could install with it, but not uninstall. Couldn't find the button.
[05:53] <theflyingfool> emss: doesnt seem to show me the key name/number/thing
[05:53] <nothlit> PirateHead, no
[05:53] <beginn3r> the only solution I can think  of is
[05:53] <PirateHead> Then again, I never am the biggest fan of GUIs for package management.
[05:53] <Gex> does anybody know how to shutdown a process thats already been run by the "at" command?
[05:53] <[ithaycu] > EnsignRedshirt: The funny thing is the machine doesn't reboot while I'm using it
[05:53] <beginn3r> someone running  edgy  to let me have a  copy of /etc//passwd
[05:53] <nothlit> PirateHead, but you can purge packages instead of removing them, to get rid of configs too
[05:53] <EnsignRedshirt> PirateHead: right-click on the package, you'll get options...
[05:53] <Nuki> emss: thanks... but... I am thinking both windows and ubuntu are broken.  and what is the windows mbr?
[05:53] <[ithaycu] > EnsignRedshirt: It reboots during the day or over night when Im not around
[05:54] <bulmer> beginn3r: there you go, you have a solution...just beg someone here... :)
[05:54] <jaggz-> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2356.html
[05:54] <bulmer> with edgy
[05:54] <jaggz-> this page seems to allude to just using defaults..
[05:54] <emss> Nuki: master boot record
[05:54] <jaggz-> nothing special to checkinstall
[05:54] <beginn3r> so, anyone here running  edgy can help me with this issue?
[05:54] <Niosop> Nuki:  If you have a windows cd you should be able to enter recovery console and run fixmbr which might at least get windows back up
[05:55] <emss> Nuki: unless you installed Ubuntu over windows or change the partitioning in some way that destroyed the windows partition you should be fine, just need to install a boot manager/mbr
[05:55] <dick-richardson> beginn3r: certainly...lemme clean mine up quick
[05:55] <[ithaycu] > beginn3r: a copy of /etc/passwd?
[05:55] <Nuki> emss: is that easy?  installing the mbr?
[05:55] <emss> Nuki: look at Niosop msg
[05:55] <balarka> hi dudes!
[05:55] <balarka> whats up?
[05:56] <EnsignRedshirt> !up
[05:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about up - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:56] <Niosop> Nuki: Although I hate recommending bringing a windows CD anywhere near your computer, it's probably the easiest way  :)
[05:56] <Nuki> Niosop: I can try that, thanks.
[05:56] <uberno0b> funkdollar I keep getting "Couldn't copy /BCM4318/bcmwl5.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.8 line 144"
[05:56] <beginn3r> dick-richardson,  and /etc/shadow and /etc/group  aswell  ...   you can remove your user entry that  contain passwd though
[05:56] <dick-richardson> will do...though you'd have a blast with the hashes :P
[05:56] <mister_roboto> that's got to be the stupidest damn question i ever heard on this channel (from beginn3r)
[05:57] <Niosop> Anyone have any ideas on how to get OSS or ALSA w/ OSS emulation working w/ a SiS7019 Audio controller?
[05:57] <Popo1> I have a problem with Firefox, sometimes when I try to open a PHP web page it sends me to a download dialog box or simply the page don't load never. And in every forum based on PHP I just can't post... never send my posts, time pass.. and it get dead
[05:57] <beginn3r> mister_roboto, what question?
[05:57] <mister_roboto> asking for someone's password and shadow file
[05:57] <PirateHead> apt-get removed the files that dpkg did not - I will be using apt from now on. =D
[05:57] <Nuki> Niosop: heh... well trying to get away from windows... stumbling at first step
[05:57] <beginn3r> mister_roboto,  read my problem
[05:57] <beginn3r> I am not asking  for their password?
[05:57] <emss> Niosop: http://www.alsa-project.org/ ?
[05:57] <beginn3r> the reason why I asked them to  remove the user entry
[05:57] <emss> Niosop: if that's even the correct website
[05:58] <beginn3r> I just need a copy of a system entry
[05:58] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: just a copy of every other valid user on their system?
[05:58] <beginn3r> coz mine is missing
[05:58] <mister_roboto> lol
[05:58] <EnsignRedshirt> I need to test how Firefox works at an online store.  Could someone give me their credit card number to test?
[05:58] <Niosop> emss: thanks, I'll check it out again, maybe I missed something the first time over.
[05:58] <tonyyarusso> beginn3r: How is that "missing"...
[05:58] <Popo1> EnsignRedshirt: xD
[05:58] <[ithaycu] > beginn3r: just type it in
[05:58] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: here's a clue, boot the live cd and copy that one
[05:58] <beginn3r> mister_roboto, do you u nderstand what I want?
[05:58] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: anyone who would send you that is a fool
[05:58] <beginn3r> mister_roboto, read my answer above
[05:58] <emss> Niosop: there is a database of supported cards/intructions on the site
[05:59] <kyelewis> hey all
[05:59] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: i read your answer. it's STILL a damn retarded question
[05:59] <beginn3r> mister_roboto,  I asked them to remove  the line of users in the entry?
[05:59] <beginn3r> can't yuo  get it?
[05:59] <[ithaycu] > hello kyelewis:
[05:59] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: just copy the one from the live cd
[05:59] <kyelewis> yet more fall-out from my edgy upgrade *sigh* :P
[05:59] <PirateHead> When I plug my camera into my computer using a USB connector, it launches a GUI window to import my pictures, which is great. Unfortunately, the GUI window can only access the device if I configure it to gksudo before launching the GUI; and if I do that, then it imports the pictures as root and I have to chown them. How do automatically I make the device readable by my user before launching...
[05:59] <PirateHead> ...the GUI?
[05:59] <tjcoder> so.... i followed the directions on using a vfat filesystem as a user, but it still isn't working for me. any hints?
[05:59] <beginn3r> mister_roboto, are  you purposely flaming
[05:59] <beginn3r> the  reason  why I asked for  help is
[05:59] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: if they remove the user lines, there is nothing left in the file!
[05:59] <beginn3r> because I don't  have  edgy CD
[06:00] <Popo1> could someone help with firefox to open the damn PHP? and at least be able to post on a PHP based forum?
[06:00] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: are you honestly that clueless or trolling to hopefully pick up some accounts to try getting in someone's box?
[06:00] <beginn3r> have you  seen the /etc/shadow or undeerstand what I  am talking  about?
[06:00] <Nuki> i have this feeling I screwed my windows partition... I slid the slider down to min when I setup the linux partition size... I thought I was providing linux with the smallest partition possible (64 gig... not that small) but I think I was chopping my windows partition down to 64 gig... did that kill windows???
[06:00] <PirateHead> Popo1: wtf are you talking about? Open the damn .php?
[06:00] <beginn3r> explain  to me how could this line
[06:00] <beginn3r> uucp:*:13528:0:99999:7:::
[06:00] <beginn3r> proxy:*:13528:0:99999:7:::
[06:00] <beginn3r> give me access to  their machine?
[06:00] <jeff__> removing evolution is rape
[06:00] <beginn3r> I thought  it's a standard entry
[06:00] <jeff__> especially if u have beagle installed
[06:01] <mister_roboto> beginn3r: tell me what you cannot get from the live cd?
[06:01] <dick-richardson> mister_roboto: he doesn't have, nor can he get, access to the live cd
[06:01] <dick-richardson> burner's busted
[06:01] <beginn3r> mister_roboto, Do you have problem understanding english, I have been  repeating it all over again
[06:01] <mister_roboto> dick-richardson: he never said that
[06:01] <PirateHead> beginn3r: give me your PO box and I'll send you a livecd.
[06:01] <Popo1> PirateHead: well, Firefox doesnt' open PHP web pages.. just send me a download dialog box, and I can post on PHP based forums, it can't send my posts... :( PHP web mails don't work either.. the same
[06:01] <suterfugio> #vbox
[06:01] <Gevaudan82> Hello all...has anyone else had a problem setting up VINO on Ubuntu Edgy?  I've enabled it in gnome but I can't seem to connect even when using entering the IP on a LAN behind my firewall...it simply disconnects immediatly...what gives?
[06:02] <beginn3r> I just  need to know standard system entry
[06:02] <mister_roboto> dick-richardson:  if he's here, he has access to it online
[06:02] <dick-richardson> mister_roboto: actually, he did
[06:02] <PirateHead> Popo1: what version of firefox, what version of ubuntu?
[06:02] <beginn3r> to replace my /etc/shadow /etc/passwd and /etc/group
[06:02] <PirateHead> Popo1: I've never heard of that happening.
[06:02] <doy> quick question: is there an easy way to convert an ubuntu desktop installation into an ubuntu server installation?
[06:02] <beginn3r> you can remove the lines for users login
[06:02] <kyelewis> ok; well... gdm's nice graphical greeter won't start "The greeter application appears to be crashing." and gnome-session won't start under Xgl (it starts, then dies). Problems with connecting to the X server i believe
[06:02] <kyelewis> "X: client 3 rejected from local host"
[06:03] <Popo1> PirateHead: Edgy Eft 64-Bits, and Firefox 2.0.0.1
[06:03] <Gevaudan82> doy: get the server kernels and then the xampp packages but other than that, they should be identical
[06:03] <dick-richardson> mister_roboto: anyway, not a big deal...like I said I'm just mounting the live cd and will send those files to him
[06:03] <kyelewis> i've tried removing the XAuth file being used, and still the issue occurs
[06:03] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: check your log files /var/log/Xorg.0.log IIRC
[06:03] <beginn3r> dick-richardson, thanks
[06:03] <Gevaudan82> doy: and of course uninstall ubuntu-desktop...apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[06:03] <kyelewis> [ithaycu] : i just quoted from it, the local host error
[06:03] <PirateHead> Popo1: have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the firefox package?
[06:03] <o0splitpaw0o> OK, I screwed up. Talking through a terminal session. how to I reconfig xorg again *sigh* forgot the command
[06:03] <doy> Gevaudan82: thanks
[06:03] <beginn3r> it seems that someone people  don't  understand the  problem yet are trying to pull the trigger
[06:03] <lotacus> um
[06:03] <beginn3r> *some people
[06:03] <nothlit> Gevaudan82, i find vino a pain since its so cruddily documented
[06:03] <nothlit> !x11vnc | Gevaudan82
[06:03] <ubotu> x11vnc: VNC server which uses your current X11 session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-1 (edgy), package size 438 kB, installed size 1104 kB
[06:03] <lotacus> is desktop search in ubuntu edgy broken?
[06:04] <PirateHead> Popo1: I'm assuming this is the default install of firefox screwing up, you didn't compile your own or something?
[06:04] <nothlit> lotacus, no
[06:04] <lotacus> hmm
[06:04] <lotacus> doesn't matter what I search for it never finds anything
[06:04] <Gevaudan82> nothlit: a while back i configured sessions using VNC but it was much slower than vino in my opinion...i don't mine the image compression vino uses...i'd prefer speed than frame rates
[06:04] <Popo1> PirateHead: I have the same problem since Dapper and Firefox 1.5, I think the problem is in another place.. maybe I have to install Apache? :s
[06:04] <[ithaycu] > Popo1: Apache wouldn't have anything todo with your client not working.
[06:04] <kyelewis> i've also had popping up in the logs a bit "GConf server is not in use, shutting down."
[06:05] <kyelewis> but nothing above it that would help troubleshoot that
[06:05] <[ithaycu] > Popo1: the problem could be with mimetypes, although I'm no expert with firefox
[06:05] <PirateHead> Popo1: no way. You should be able to access php files, because the MIME headers they send you are still HTML/text
[06:05] <kyelewis> i think i've tried everything i've seen in google and nothing's fixed it :P
[06:05] <o0splitpaw0o> I'm really hosed here. I'm using the xterm irc client and need help getting my xorg.conf fixed. I forget the entire command to run the setup for the video card
[06:05] <o0splitpaw0o> and it's not listed in my history
[06:06] <nothlit> o0splitpaw0o, you mean irssi? its sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:06] <o0splitpaw0o> nothlit: thanks!
[06:06] <theflyingfool> does anyone know any programs like EasyTag it keeps freezing on me, before i got a chance to try it
[06:06] <PirateHead> Popo1: I think there must be a screw loose in your install. It's reading the mimetypes wrong or something, though I too am no expert on firefox.
[06:06] <Popo1> PirateHead: Where could it be the problem? It's so frutrating to have to go to Windows just to post on a forum...
[06:06] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: I've not seen any problems with GConf so I'm not sure
[06:06] <PirateHead> Popo1: is it only Firefox? Do PHP pages work using Dillo?
[06:06] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: Have you tried starting x from a getty terminal?
[06:06] <kyelewis> any other ideas on the X auth problem?
[06:07] <o0splitpaw0o> nothlit: CRAP! screens scrolling what's the quick way to scroll up the chat :) LOL
[06:07] <kyelewis> it's not that X doesn't start, it's that gdm won't start the graphical greeter (it falls back to the alternate greeter)
[06:07] <Popo1> PirateHead: Hey! that's a point, I should try another web browser to see if it is a Firefox problem
[06:08] <o0splitpaw0o> nothlit: NM scrool up key lol
[06:08] <nothlit> o0splitpaw0o, shift+ pageup
[06:08] <kyelewis> and that gnome-session dies on an XGL display
[06:08] <jaggz-> how can I see what packages my system presently "wants" to uninstall?
[06:08] <jaggz-> like, if I run aptitude to install another package, if it'll find my vim "not used" again?
[06:08] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: Have you checked your gdm.conf?
[06:08] <kyelewis> and apparently /etc/init.d/gdm stop freezes the system, nice
[06:08] <kyelewis> i'm not quite sure what to be checking
[06:08] <PirateHead> Popo1: good idea, tell how it goes.
[06:09] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: that's strange. What distro are you running?
[06:09] <dick-richardson> beginn3r: http://abe.midco.net/vauxje/1337h4x0rs
[06:09] <kyelewis> edgy
[06:10] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: I don't think I have an /etc/init.d  If I do I've been using /erc/rc.d/rc.S13Gdm
[06:10] <[ithaycu] > kyelewis: I can't check right now running a memtest on my box
[06:10] <[ithaycu] > well gotta hit the sack
[06:10] <[ithaycu] > cya
[06:11] <beginn3r> dick-richardson, thanks!
[06:12] <dick-richardson> beginn3r: no problem
[06:12] <o0splitpaw0o> nothlit: cross your fingers :)
[06:12] <kyelewis> anyone with any ideas? i'm fairly sure /etc/init.d/gdm stop shouldn't really freeze the system ;)
[06:12] <Niosop> kyelewis:  but gnome starts up fine?
[06:12] <kyelewis> i guess i'll see if i can still ssh in
[06:12] <nothlit> jaggz-, you can set apps in aptitude as manually installed
[06:13] <kyelewis> a normal gnome session starts fine- one with Xgl doesn't (gnome-session immediately dies and i'm dumped back to login)
[06:13] <Flannel> kyelewis: #ubuntu-xgl for XGL support, thanks
[06:13] <kyelewis> (the login of course being the fallback gdm because the standard graphical greeter won't load
[06:13] <nothlit> jaggz-, and aptitude will always ask you before it does something if it does anything other than what has been explicitly stated
[06:13] <Niosop> kyelewis, Oh, I haven't had any luck w/ xgl, so can't help you there.
[06:13] <kyelewis> Flannel: fair enough; i didn't see the error with xgl until later, but i'll see there
[06:14] <dzer0> hello
[06:14] <jojofromthecircu> hello. Does anyone here have experience using ubuntu as a samba server for sharing files?
[06:14] <kyelewis> i don't see how the gdm issue is xgl based
[06:14] <dzer0> what package do I need to install to be able to run php scripts from the console? ex, php blah.php
[06:14] <nothlit> !anyone | jojofromthecircu
[06:14] <ubotu> jojofromthecircu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:14] <nothlit> !lamp | dzer0
[06:14] <ubotu> dzer0: 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+)
[06:14] <nothlit> dzer0, the name of the package is in there
[06:15] <jojofromthecircu> Thanks ubotu. I had samba configured on debian, and wanted to try ubuntu, but after setting up in the same way, xp computers won't connect
[06:15] <dzer0> nothlit I already have a lamp configuration and php is installed but for some reason I cant run php scripts from the console
[06:15] <Niosop> nothlit, probably something like php-cli
[06:15] <jojofromthecircu> I used smbpasswd -a joe
[06:15] <PirateHead> !lamp
[06:15] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[06:15] <PirateHead> ?
[06:15] <PirateHead> How do you get ubotu to talk about stuff?
[06:15] <jojofromthecircu> and added a user to the samba passwd file
[06:16] <Popo1> ubotu is a bot
[06:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:16] <Popo1> xD
[06:16] <PirateHead> Hmm, maybe he was just a bit late. =D
[06:16] <nothlit> PirateHead, you teach it things
[06:16] <jojofromthecircu> I tried both manually creating a new samba config, and copying my samba config from the old debian machine
[06:16] <Popo1> I think he is getting mad xD
[06:16] <dzer0> aha
[06:16] <lotacus> augh
[06:16] <EnsignRedshirt> dzer0: I haven't tried it, but I suspect that the package you want is php5
[06:16] <PirateHead> So, how do I tell it to say "h4x" when somebody types !piratehead?
[06:16] <lotacus> maybe I should just stay away from snort and mysql because apparently I dont know what i'm doing
[06:17] <dzer0> it's php5-cli ;) thanks a lot Niosop
[06:17] <jojofromthecircu> something seems to behave differently in ubuntu than in debian. I am wondering what the difference is. Perhaps there is a known difference between debian and ubuntu machines.
[06:17] <lotacus> i'll just leave my system wide open
[06:17] <Niosop> np. sorry addressed it to wrong person  :)
[06:17] <jaggz-> nothlit, yeah.. but I need to make it not work.. someone said aptitude has an unmarkauto option...
[06:18] <nothlit> jaggz-, yeah just type sudo aptitude
[06:18] <nothlit> and use the ncurses gui to mark it
[06:19] <blanky> BOO
[06:19] <blanky> :)
[06:19] <robnyc> !ati
[06:19] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:19] <blanky> why so quiet?
[06:19] <blanky> nevermind
[06:22] <lotacus> it's not. it's just that no one likes you
[06:23] <lotacus> heh. j/k
[06:23] <dick-richardson> anyone know how to keep ubuntu from auto connecting to open wifi access points on boot?
[06:23] <lotacus> are there any graphical front-ends be it application-wise or http based for snort?
[06:24] <Schminux> Hello! I am trying to get MS Sidewinder force feedback joystick working in Ubuntu 6.0.6 and not making any progess... can see the gameport in device manager, but nothing more.
[06:24] <lotacus> heh
[06:24] <robnyc> hello how do i find out if x1600 pro is supported by aiglx ?
[06:24] <robnyc> !xgl
[06:24] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[06:24] <lotacus> your key word is (ms)
[06:24] <lotacus> :P
[06:24] <lotacus> robnyc I dont know about aiglx but it works with frglx
[06:24] <lotacus> dunno if they are the same or not
[06:25] <robnyc> yea
[06:25] <lotacus> I was going to try aiglx but why change if it works fine with glx
[06:25] <robnyc> u need aiglx or xgl dont u think
[06:26] <lotacus> both will be fine
[06:26] <lotacus> either will be fine I mean
[06:26] <lotacus> just don't use ati's proprietary.
[06:26] <robnyc> well ig otta keep asking
[06:26] <robnyc> cuz AIGLX is better supopsely
[06:26] <robnyc> goodnite
[06:27] <lotacus> omg
[06:27] <lotacus> anyone using snort?
[06:28] <phiqtion> why does mounted FS appear in Desktop as icons, how can i diable these icons but keep the FS mounted?
[06:28] <lotacus> because you need some way to access it
[06:28] <phiqtion> i can access it in Places
[06:28] <phiqtion> i don't need the icon on the Desktop
[06:28] <dick-richardson> or at the command line, or in applications themselves :D
[06:29] <lotacus> thats like saying why is my hard drive listed as "filesystem" in the filesystem browser, cna't I just delete it
[06:29] <phiqtion> exactly
[06:29] <phiqtion> no need for Desktop
[06:29] <lotacus> then don't use your x-window manager
[06:29] <phiqtion> there should be a way to disable the icon
[06:29] <dick-richardson> if you mount it somewhere other than in /media it doesn't show on the desktop I believe
[06:29] <dick-richardson> try mounting it in /mnt
[06:29] <lotacus> OOOOH he mounted it to the desktop
[06:30] <lotacus> LOL
[06:30] <lotacus> yea mine is mounted in media I think
[06:30] <phiqtion> all default boxes have it in media
[06:30] <lotacus> I wanted the complete oposite. I want mine mounted on the desktop or the filebrowser area
[06:30] <lotacus> lol
[06:30] <cmt^^> I'm trying to install a LAMP solution on edgy-box.. can anyone tell me where I can find a sample configuration file for apache2? The basic setup only gave me a very trimmed down httpd.conf.
[06:32] <KNY> is there a way to tell if a given usb device is mapped to a /dev/* ?
[06:32] <lotacus> i need help with snort :S someone wanna pm me if they are using it
[06:33] <davidvasta> hello
[06:33] <phiqtion> google snort
[06:34] <PaulusVictor> Question: If I have drive compression enabled in Windows, will I still be able to read files from that drive with no difficulty in Ubuntu?
[06:34] <lotacus> phiqtion heh yea I did that.
[06:34] <lotacus> i'm on a guide right now
[06:34] <davidvasta> i don't think so?
[06:34] <davidvasta> is it NTFS?
[06:34] <PaulusVictor> Yes
[06:34] <lotacus> but i have a problem with a path the guide listed
[06:34] <KNY> PaulusVictor, no harm in trying. Just mount the NTFS drive as RO
[06:35] <davidvasta> ah
[06:35] <lotacus> mainly: mysql -u root -p < ~/snort-2.3.2/schemas/create_mysql snort
[06:35] <davidvasta> that might work
[06:35] <lotacus> it's saying the dir doesn't exist
[06:35] <lotacus> which it doesn't
[06:35] <PaulusVictor> KNY: Where can I change the setting to mount the drive as RO and not R/W?
[06:35] <lotacus> I dont know where the path would be for snort
[06:35] <KNY> /etc/fstab
[06:35] <PaulusVictor> /etc/fstab?
[06:35] <dick-richardson> fstab...or at the cmmand line
[06:35] <PaulusVictor> Ok, thanks.
[06:35] <PaulusVictor> <--- Just installed Ubuntu....might be here for a while.
[06:35] <KNY> good luck
[06:36] <KNY> report back on whether it works or not
[06:36] <davidvasta> ubuntu is pretty easy
[06:36] <lotacus> PaulusVictor: Congrats and I hope you have patience.
[06:36] <avalon_> I'm having a problem with drive encryption. I want to encrypt two hard drives that I have already chock full of data. All the information I find needs the data to be formatted. Is there a compression system that doesn't need to format my drives?
[06:36] <davidvasta> i was a SUSE and Redhat fan and have turned to an Ubuntu nut
[06:36] <lotacus> lol
[06:36] <davidvasta> it's pretty good stuff
[06:36] <lotacus> I installed the latest SUSE (four disks later) and deleted the partition after first startup
[06:37] <KNY> haha yeah
[06:37] <davidvasta> suse is just still not ready
[06:37] <KNY> I started with Fedora Core 3 because I got the DVD free in a magazine
[06:37] <davidvasta> ubuntu is way closer
[06:37] <EnsignRedshirt> What the...? What did I do?  I have an "untitled" USB disk icon on my desktop.  When I browse it, I find a directory called "TheVolumeSettingsFolder" and two files, "Desktop DB" and "Desktop BF".  While I do have two external USB drives plugged in, this icon isn't either of those.  What is this thing?
[06:37] <davidvasta> i started with redhat 4
[06:37] <avalon_> Ubuntu will eventually become mainstream I think. I started with slackware.
[06:37] <KNY> and flopped around the distros for a while until I found Ubuntu. 1 CD beats downloading and burning multiple CDs or DVD(s)
[06:38] <avalon_> For those who haven't had the pleasure.. slackware is about as fun as giving yourself a rectal exam.
[06:38] <davidvasta> i think they have the push and drive to get something out that is good
[06:38] <redwyrm> I'm trying to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper according to this method: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/01/05/steps-to-upgrading-your-ubuntu-machine-ubuntu-6061-610/
[06:38] <lotacus> EnsighRedshirt first of all, your name is too long. LOL. Those I would think are automatically created much like how windows will create files on your drives which are hidden like "index.dat and thumbs.db"
[06:38] <mneptok> wasn't "Flopped Around The Distros" Keith Richards' second solo album?
[06:38] <KNY> no clue
[06:39] <avalon_> TMI dick-richardson...
[06:39] <davidvasta> upgrades are pretty easy
[06:39] <PaulusVictor> Ok, now I'm looking in the fstab file, and I believe the drive in question is SDA5, how should I edit the line to make it RO?
[06:39] <EnsignRedshirt> lotacus: Does your IRC client have tab completion?  If so, long nicks are no problem.
[06:39] <KNY> PaulusVictor, make sure first
[06:39] <KNY> sudo fdisk -l
[06:39] <redwyrm> davidvasta, is that likely to work, then?
[06:39] <mneptok> EnsignRedshirt: you just described an HFS/HFS+ formatted volume
[06:39] <lotacus> EnsignRedshirt: heh yea, actually it does.
[06:39] <avalon_> I just wished there was an option to install ubuntu and encrypt drives during the installation
[06:40] <KNY> PaulusVictor, and note which /dev it is
[06:40] <davidvasta> what was i doing
[06:40] <davidvasta> sure
[06:40] <davidvasta> upgrade
[06:40] <lotacus> EnsignRedshirt: BUT i'm afriad of using those keys over there <--- cuz eveyrtime my finger taps over there, I have the tendancy to inadvertanly log out of my xwindow session. pain in the arse
[06:40] <EnsignRedshirt> mneptok: HFS...? Sorry for being mostly clueless, but that sounds like a Mac thing.
[06:40] <davidvasta> yes I did it to my box and I think that is the page I used. Should take a about 20 minutes
[06:40] <theflyingfool> how are azureus and azureus-gcj differnt
[06:40] <lotacus> HFS is an OLD filesystem
[06:41] <lotacus> oops
[06:41] <KNY> rTorrent FTW
[06:41] <mneptok> EnsignRedshirt: it does sound like a Mac thing, don't it ;)
[06:41] <markedwards> has anyone gotten grub working on an Intel Mac?
[06:41] <PaulusVictor> KNY: Actually, looking at it again the drive is mounted under /media/files and I don't see that in the fstab file at all.
[06:41] <dick-richardson> does rTorrent handle rss feeds?
[06:41] <KNY> dick-richardson, rTorrent doesn't even have a GUI
[06:41] <KNY> but it's fast :)
[06:41] <lotacus> OMFG
[06:41] <lotacus> that's it
[06:41] <lotacus> I told you
[06:42] <dick-richardson> so 'no' the rss thing?
[06:42] <QMario> !Give lotacus language
[06:42] <Hawk|afk> ACTION gives lotacus Elton John
[06:42] <avalon_> grr.... stupid drives... just encrypt....
[06:42] <KNY> PaulusVictor, cat /etc/mtab
[06:42] <mneptok> !enter | lotacus
[06:42] <ubotu> lotacus: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:42] <KNY> dick-richardson, no
[06:42] <EnsignRedshirt> mneptok: ..and the only Mac here is a laptop that is turned off and completely disconnected from this computer.
[06:42] <lotacus> why does every damn linux distro have to have a stupid keyboard shortcut like shift backspace.
[06:42] <lotacus> lol
[06:42] <mneptok> EnsignRedshirt: was this USB device ever used on a Mac?
[06:43] <KNY> so, anyone know how I can figure out if a given USB device is mapped to a /dev/*?
[06:43] <theflyingfool> how are azureus and azureus-gcj differnt, and which should i install
[06:43] <KNY> specifically, if it's mapped to /dev/video0
[06:43] <iSeriesSysAdm> back
[06:43] <KNY> theflyingfool, google it?
[06:43] <iSeriesSysAdm> formerly
[06:43] <iSeriesSysAdm> davidvasta
[06:43] <dick-richardson> KNY: cat /var/log/messages | grep disk
[06:43] <bugeyes> I would like to know how to do a clean install of edgy
[06:44] <bugeyes> can anyone help??
[06:44] <dick-richardson> that's how I find what's mapped where
[06:44] <KNY> dick-richardson, grep disk? why>
[06:44] <iSeriesSysAdm> just put in the CD and go for it
[06:44] <KNY> it's USB
[06:44] <KNY> but I'll poke around
[06:44] <PaulusVictor> KNY: I'll figure it out later, bed time for me. Thanks for the assist.
[06:44] <KNY> PaulusVictor, no problem
[06:44] <dick-richardson> yeah, disk is the most conspicuous term in the lines that specify what's mapped where
[06:44] <mneptok> bugeyes: get the alternate CD and format / when you install. if you don,t have a seperate partiton for /home, you'll lose all user data
[06:44] <dick-richardson> in the messages file, of course
[06:45] <markedwards> any grub experts here?
[06:45] <KNY> markedwards, /join #grub
[06:45] <avalon_> DM crypt is out for my encryption needs...
[06:45] <bugeyes> I don't mind loosing user data.  I am new to this and screwed everything up.  It is a new install anyway
[06:45] <markedwards> KNY: thanks
[06:45] <EnsignRedshirt> mneptok: I don't recall using either of the USB drives on the mac, but my memory ain't what it used to be, so I couldn't swear to it.  FWIW, one of the external drives is ntfs, and the other is ext3.
[06:45] <bugeyes> mneptok:  Thanks a bunch!!
[06:45] <KNY> markedwards, no problem
[06:46] <iSeriesSysAdm> bugeyes - do you have a cd for that version?
[06:46] <iSeriesSysAdm> ok
[06:46] <kortec> hey, i'm trying to install edgy on a laptop without a cd rom drive. is there a known way to put a cd image on to a usb stick to boot from it?
[06:46] <KNY> whoever was asking about azureus-gcj: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agij
[06:46] <KNY> or: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agcj
[06:47] <dick-richardson> kortec: easier to install over the network if the laptop has an ethernet jack
[06:47] <iSeriesSysAdm> yes you can use a USB key to boot from
[06:47] <KNY> theflyingfool, http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agcj http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Agij
[06:47] <iSeriesSysAdm> i i would use the network
[06:47] <kortec> dick-richardson okay.. what boot medium? PXE boot? is there a link somewhere?
[06:48] <dick-richardson> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-28948.html
[06:50] <theflyingfool> KNY: thnx
[06:50] <KNY> theflyingfool, no problem
[06:50] <KNY> theflyingfool, to clarify: I believe that it compiles the Java into native bytecode, making it faster and have less overhead
[06:50] <KNY> so use the -gcj one
[06:50] <EnsignRedshirt> mneptok: It is something to do with the ntfs usb disk.  mount shows "/dev/sda on /media/untitled type hfsplus ..." and "/dev/sda1 n /media/usbdisk type ntfs ..."

[06:51] <KNY> theflyingfool, not a problem
[06:52] <redwyrm> what's the most supported/standard way of firewalling under Edgy?
[06:53] <lotacus> i would like to know as well. I gave up on snort
[06:53] <theflyingfool> without closing a prog is there a way to check if its not responding?
[06:53] <_3uG_> hi.. can someone recommend a really good, lightweight desktop manager that i can use with xfce in place of xfdesktop?
[06:55] <EnsignRedshirt> _3uG_: You could also try asking in #xubuntu
[06:55] <_3uG_> EnsignRedshirt, ah. good idea
[06:56] <lotacus> i really should go to bed, but I hate sleeping
[06:57] <doy> so, i tried to rerun the installer, and now i can't use lvm on my root drive, even if i manually use fdisk to remove the partitions and do 'cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdc'
[06:57] <snooplsm> where is the $PATH variable stored?  in what file?
[06:57] <cmt^^> does anyone have a couple of hours to spare? I need help installing and configuring apache 2 on ubuntu edgy
[06:57] <doy> because it says the physical device is already in use
[06:57] <doy> what else can i try?
[07:00] <EnsignRedshirt> snooplsm: I don't recall the order or logic in which these files are used but PATH might be defined in: /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile and/or ~/.bashrc
[07:00] <cmt^^> I need some help setting up a mailserver on ubuntu linux, doesn anyone have a couple of hours to spare? :)
[07:00] <Flannel> doy: er, what?
[07:01] <riyonuk_> Help! I installed a black theme for mirranda and now all my themes are black, how do I get rid of this?
[07:01] <Flannel> doy: you don't need to do that (youd use dd anyway), just format hdc1 as lvm.  It's more robust that way too.
[07:01] <doy> Flannel: i've never used lvm before, so i was hoping to do it automatically(:
[07:01] <doy> but if that will work, okay
[07:02] <Flannel> doy: using a drive (as opposed to a partition on a drive) is safer against things that aren't lvm-aware, since they see "a partition" instead of a blank drive
[07:02] <Flannel> doy: it's fine ;)  I just setup a LVM too.  You have the alternate ISO/CD, right?
[07:02] <theflyingfool> I think my synaptic froze, if i kill it, will i trash my system
[07:02] <doy> so i can format /dev/hdc1 as lvm and then tell the installer to use it as the root drive?
[07:03] <markedwards> not getting response from #grub, anyone good at diagnosing Error 17 problems in grub?
[07:03] <Flannel> doy: you format it in the installer.  You'll also need a /boot partition
[07:03] <Flannel> doy: since grub can't boot to LVM yet.  So it's a lot easier to just setup a 200mb /boot partition or whatever
[07:03] <snooplsm> thanks
[07:03] <doy> what about swap?
[07:03] <Flannel> doy: so, hdc1 is 200mb /boot, then the rest is lvm.  Swap goes in lvm
[07:04] <doy> okay
[07:04] <Flannel> doy: then once you've set that up, you go to the top and "configure lvm"
[07:04] <newjs> Is there a way to use wildcard in /etc/hosts   to let *.com point to 127.0.0.1 ?
[07:04] <Flannel> doy: then thats how you'll setup all the volume groups, and logical volumes, in the lvm thing.
[07:05] <Flannel> doy: "once youve set that up" means, while still on the partitioner screen
[07:05] <doy> alright, thanks(:
[07:05] <doy> i'll see how that works
[07:06] <lotacus> ok good. the shift backspace problem I think is fixed for this session at least
[07:06] <lotacus> is there a way to make this change more permanent?
[07:06] <theflyingfool> how do i kill a program that wont close?
[07:07] <EnsignRedshirt> theflyingfool: You're trying to kill your zombied synaptic?
[07:07] <newjs> Is there a way to Use wildcard in /etc/hosts    to point *.local to 127.0.0.1
[07:07] <lotacus> system>administration>System Monitor
[07:07] <lotacus> select the process that is hanging and right click and kill
[07:07] <theflyingfool> EnsignRedshirt: yup
[07:08] <nothlit> killall, kill -9
[07:08] <EnsignRedshirt> lotacus: Will that work if the program is running as root?
[07:08] <lotacus> oh probably not
[07:08] <lotacus> use the killall then
[07:08] <EnsignRedshirt> theflyingfool: Try this: sudo killall -9 synaptic
[07:08] <lotacus> sudo killall (process name)
[07:08] <lotacus> case sensitive of course
[07:09] <theflyingfool> EnsignRedshirt: worked thanks much

[07:24] <ciscosurfer> Pie-rate: I think that has to with Flash (not whether it's installed -- I have it installed and it looks just like you said)...
[07:24] <krinns> my firfox is crashing
[07:25] <krinns> its falsh site prb i think
[07:25] <Pie-rate> ardchoille42: you don't have flash installed
[07:25] <krinns> what should i do
[07:25] <ardchoille42> Pie-rate, yes, I do
[07:25] <Pie-rate> ardchoille42: then you're blocking that somehow.
[07:25] <nothlit> Pie-rate, yes but the big black thing is flash over here
[07:26] <weiyan> anybody help ...,,boot stoped with this notice : can't access tty; job control turn off
[07:26] <Pie-rate> nothlit: any way to fix it? it doesn't have that problem on windows
[07:26] <ciscosurfer> Pie-rate: it's an issue with Flash on Ubuntu.  Period.
[07:26] <Pie-rate> nothlit: i have flash 9
[07:26] <ryancr> anyone know how to have small launcher icons on a large panel?
[07:26] <Pie-rate> ciscosurfer: why does it happen?
[07:26] <nothlit> Pie-rate, its probably a flash 9 beta issue
[07:26] <ardchoille42> Pie-rate, Ah, right you are, noscript was blocking JS
[07:26] <Pie-rate> nothlit: flash 9 isn't beta
[07:26] <adamonline> Does anyone know a way that I can send a command to a terminal window from another terminal window?
[07:26] <ciscosurfer> Pie-rate: probably has to with Flash being beta
[07:26] <nothlit> Flash 9 Update 2 issue*
[07:26] <nothlit> and yes it is
[07:26] <ryancr> like 2 rows of small launchers on a large panel
[07:27] <sayan_> pie-rate i think you are misleading with the black them of the site
[07:27] <Pie-rate> nothlit: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[07:27] <sayan_> wait a bit for downloading all pics
[07:27] <nothlit> ryancr, use xfce-panel
[07:27] <Pie-rate> nothlit: version: 9,0,31,0
[07:27] <sayan_> or install flash again
[07:27] <ardchoille42> Does Half Life have a Linux client?
[07:27] <Pie-rate> nothlit: not beta
[07:28] <weiyan> anybody any ideas ? boot stoped with : " can't access tty; job control turn off "
[07:28] <nothlit> eh, then its a flash 9 linux issue

[07:30] <adamonline> ardchoille42: If that's what you're looking for I know a great tutorial that got it installed for me flawlessly
[07:30] <ryancr> nothlit: yeah i was trying to avoid that
[07:30] <ardchoille42> ryancr, There are some other panel type apps in the repos
[07:30] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Thank you, I'm looking now :)
[07:30] <ardchoille42> adamonline, I just want to play half life on my computer as the only player.
[07:30] <wnorrix> I am using a DLink DWL-G122. Just installed Edgy (fresh install) the Link LED lights up. When I do a iwlist scan it lists my access point (airport extreme base station), but for some reason it does not get a IP address which i set the essid in the network-manager. FYI I am not using any kind of security/passwords its a open network
[07:30] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: sure
[07:30] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: hope that helps
[07:32] <n2diy> wnorrix: sounds like a DHCP, or port forwarding issue?
[07:32] <qmf> hi there. my gl vendor used to show mesa. not it shows SGI and i've noticed a big hits on my fps in games. any idea how i can resolve this?
[07:32] <ryancr> ardchoille42: well i was hoping to use the gnome panel with some sort of cool "add to panel" app ;)
[07:32] <wnorrix> n2diy: well my mac seems to connect to the accesspoint just fine
[07:32] <Silv3rF0x> I have a question
[07:32] <wnorrix> and ubuntu draper seemed to also work fine (other than the wifi switching off ever 30-40 mins)
[07:33] <wnorrix> even if i set a static ip
[07:33] <weiyan> anybody give some ideas ...boot stoped with this notice : can't access tty; job control turn off
[07:33] <wnorrix> its dead..
[07:33] <AgentChem> I need some expert advice guys
[07:33] <n2diy> wnorrix: ok, just guessing, my network is working either, all I've managed to do is ping stuff.
[07:33] <Silv3rF0x> phpize install
[07:33] <Silv3rF0x> I normal ues FC and it is in a pack already
[07:33] <wnorrix> n2diy: you have a DWL-122 ?
[07:34] <nothlit> ryancr, sorry, its xfce4-panel rather than xfce-panel
[07:34] <AgentChemical> My 6.1 server cd wont boot
[07:34] <riyonuk_> I think Im doing something wrong, everytime I apply a theme, it never changes the task buttons, mine look like classic windows instead of that cool blueness http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32765755/ how do I fix this? What am I doing wrong?
[07:34] <n2diy> wnorrix: no, a Linksys BEFWS
[07:34] <ryancr> nothlit: yeah found it...tho this may give me an excuse to learn how to right my own gnome panel applet ;)
[07:35] <AgentChemical> what would be causing this issue?
[07:35] <ardchoille42> ryancr, That's how some coders start out :)
[07:35] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Are you still there? perhaps I meant to say 'send a command from one shell window to another'.  The link you sent me seems to refer to sending commands between terminals, as in workstations...
[07:36] <n2diy> AgentChemical: a bad burn on the CD, or a dirty cdrom drive?
[07:36] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: ah, sorry...
[07:36] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: i think I remember doing something like that via tty commands
[07:36] <AgentChemical> I have tried 3 sep cd's 3 sep apps
[07:37] <AgentChemical> burner works fine
[07:37] <nothlit> AgentChemical, its a 6.10 server cd btw, its not a traditional version number, thats 2006, October
[07:37] <Silv3rF0x> Anyone know what hold phpize so I can install it on this 6.06
[07:37] <ryancr> haha just released today: Quick Lounge Applet
[07:37] <nothlit> AgentChemical, did you md5hash the cd and the iso?
[07:37] <ryancr> does exactly what i want
[07:37] <AgentChemical> i know nothlit
[07:37] <AgentChemical> yes
[07:37] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: TTY commands, cool, I'll look into that... This whole time I thought TTY stuff was in regards to voice accessibility hearing-impaired...
[07:37] <AgentChemical> it checks out fine
[07:37] <Silv3rF0x> most case in FC it is in php-devel
[07:38] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Guess that makes more sense... =)
[07:38] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: yeah, i don't remember the exact commands, but trying something with redirection, etc., and involving tty either as itself or as $TTY ....can't remember
[07:39] <AgentChemical> the iso has been md5 checked, burnt correctly 3 diff times with 3 diff apps, bios set to cd boot
[07:39] <Azimuth> 
[07:39] <AgentChemical> but no boot
[07:39] <markedwards> can someone tell me if its safe to change a partition's id using fdisk's 't' command?  will it damage that partition?
[07:40] <adamonline> ciscosurfer: Alright, thank you =)
[07:40] <ciscosurfer> adamonline: Good Luck!!
[07:41] <AgentChemical> im at a lost with this thing
[07:41] <AgentChemical> *loss
[07:41] <Flannel> AgentChemical: did you burn at 4x?
[07:41] <AgentChemical> yep
[07:41] <ardchoille42> AgentChemical, probably a silly question, but did you burn it as an image?
[07:41] <nothlit> markedwards, no.. but do you have any data you need on that partition?
[07:42] <Flannel> wait, it won't boot at all?
[07:42] <AgentChemical> yes, it was burnt FROM the image
[07:42] <AgentChemical> its like my cdrom doesnt even see it at boot
[07:43] <markedwards> nothlit: yes
[07:43] <Flannel> AgentChemical: so, it doesn't boot at all?  is your BIOS setup correctly?
[07:43] <AgentChemical> flannel, yes
[07:43] <markedwards> nothlit: but its partition id is wrong
[07:43] <Flannel> AgentChemical: and, if you browse the CD, what do you see on it?
[07:43] <AgentChemical> dirs' and files
[07:44] <markedwards> nothlit: is there danger of data loss?
[07:44] <Flannel> AgentChemical: hmm.  that is very odd indeed.
[07:44] <AgentChemical> haha yah
[07:44] <nothlit> markedwards, i don't think it'll remove any data, but I would back up to be sure
[07:44] <Flannel> AgentChemical: try the 6.06 CD
[07:44] <Flannel> AgentChemical: see if it's jsut a fluke of the ISO, or... what.
[07:45] <AgentChemical> tell ya what, let me do a screen shot of the cd root dir and u can tell me if maybe the ISO is missing something ?!
[07:45] <ardchoille42> AgentChemical, Which ISO? Edgy?
[07:46] <AgentChemical> server 6.10
[07:46] <Flannel> AgentChemical: actually, you can check yourself.  Let me get you a manifest
[07:47] <AgentChemical> Flannel, yah thanks
[07:47] <theflyingfool> what do i need to read the kernal sourcecode?
[07:47] <funkmunky> what is a good video card for casual gaming for linux?

[07:53] <cas3> why can't I get a dhcp offer from my wireless router using wifi-radar?
[07:53] <ardchoille42> host`, I use xmms
[07:53] <phiqtion> how can i convert ogg/vorbis files to mpg/wmv or avi?
[07:54] <host`> have you tried avidemux phiqtion?
[07:54] <EnsignRedshirt> host`: Rhythmbox works fine for me, but I'm not cool.  And all my files are .ogg, not mp3.
[07:54] <phiqtion> host': no, is it in the repos?
[07:54] <host`> I don't know what ogg/vorbis files are
[07:54] <host`> yeah
[07:55] <phiqtion> host': k, downloading
[07:55] <host`> I think it is
[07:55] <cas3> phiqtion: mpg321 input.mp3 -w raw && oggenc raw -o output.ogg
[07:55] <host`> yeah, it is, I just checked
[07:55] <AgentChemical> Flannel, it checks out
[07:56] <host`> cas3, he just said something about wanting an mpg or avi file
[07:56] <host`> unless I missed something
[07:56] <phiqtion> host': avidemux doesn't open ogg/vorbis
[07:56] <host`> hmm
[07:56] <phiqtion> cas3: i need ogg/vorbis to mpg/avi
[07:57] <cas3> converting mp3 to ogg sorry
[07:57] <host`> mencoder?
[07:57] <host`> phiqtion, have you tried mencoder?
[07:57] <AgentChemical> i swear im going to thorw this thing out my fn window
[07:57] <host`> what the heck is an ogg file?
[07:58] <cas3> a better version of an mp3 host
[07:58] <EnsignRedshirt> host`: Another format, like mp3, mpg, wav, etc
[07:59] <jarrod06> links
[07:59] <cas3> why can't I connect to a wep encrypted wifi router?
[07:59] <cas3> !wep

[08:05] <AgentChemical> well, im going to try and dl another ISO file and waist another fn cd
[08:05] <cas3> whats it called?
[08:06] <deepbluegene> hi. ican fileneme.chm can be opened in ubuntu.please guide
[08:07] <deepbluegene> hi. can fileneme.chm can be opened in ubuntu.please guide
[08:07] <cas3> use vi deepbluegene, I guess
[08:08] <deepbluegene> cas3: ok
[08:09] <deepbluegene> cas3: no it is not working.
[08:09] <deepbluegene> is there any converter?
[08:10] <Rondom> deepbluegene: install gnochm
[08:10] <AgentChemical> if this doesnt work, then it has to be something with my cd's . eventhough the data is readable
[08:10] <deepbluegene> rondom:thanx.let me try
[08:11] <bulmer> AgentChemical: upon downloading the iso, you can mount it and then check to see if it is okay
[08:12] <cas3> what did it show deepblue?
[08:13] <Rondom> cas3: chms are binary files
[08:13] <EnsignRedshirt> AgentChemical: (Sorry if you already answered this...) What are you burning the disk with? K3B has the option of checking the md5sum of the disk itself after writing.  If that checks, the disk is good.
[08:13] <Rondom> cas3: they are windows-html-help-files
[08:13] <Rondom> cas3:  the successor of *.hlp
[08:13] <AgentChemical> EnsignRedshirt, I have used cd burner xp, nero and infra recorder
[08:13] <cas3> oh, then it'll be garbled, I dunno then
[08:14] <AgentChemical> I have used the md5sum app tp check the hash
[08:14] <AgentChemical> which has checked ouy
[08:14] <AgentChemical> *out
[08:14] <deepbluegene> cas3: it is not working as explained by Rondom
[08:14] <deepbluegene> Rondom:thanx with gnochm i can read chm.thanx for your help
[08:14] <deepbluegene> cas3:thanx to you also
[08:15] <AgentChemical> i dont mind waisting the cds...hell i get like 100 for 20 bucks, but its just time consuming trying to figure this out
[08:17] <EnsignRedshirt> ls

[08:46] <lotacus> anyone know why running: java -cp swt.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=. org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main will throw an error but if I go into the working directory of azereus and run that exact command, it will work?
[08:46] <wilsoniya> maybe there's something wrong w/ your cp
[08:47] <wilsoniya> maybe you're missing something and it works correctly when you're in the dir because your pwd contains the needed classes
[08:48] <lotacus> well on the azureus site it says that if the files are extracted to another dir, to make that change in the path in the command, but I dnot know where that change should go
[08:49] <lotacus> for example, all required files are in /usr/share/azureus
[08:49] <wilsoniya> doesn't azureus simply ship with a bash script for launching the jvm/app?
[08:50] <AdamKili> someone please help me with fceu (NES Emulator) none of the arguements in the official documentation are working, i've been trying a ton of things, and now it stopped playing games completly it says the xscale is out of bounds
[08:50] <lotacus> well the only way I can actually run the proggy is by using that command in terminal. :S
[08:50] <lotacus> and in the working dir

[08:58] <Joe_CoT> wilsoniya: all the javascript?
[08:59] <kronus_> i've installed 6.06 from a CD, and the network card doesn't show up in ifconfig
[08:59] <wilsoniya> hmm
[08:59] <kronus_> or the gui network configurator
[08:59] <kronus_> the card has worked with ubuntu before
[08:59] <wilsoniya> yeah, plus the pages tend to be huge w/ tons of graphics & css shiot
[09:00] <huck> kronus_: just taking a stab at it... but can you do a sudo ifconfig eth0 up  ???
[09:00] <kronus_> "no such device"
[09:00] <Byan> can someone help me get my screen resolution to the correct size?
[09:00] <Joe_CoT> kronus_ : dmesg | grep eth
[09:01] <wilsoniya> Byan: u using gnome?
[09:01] <incorrect> hello, i just installed inetd and its says its need --alow-root  i don't see any man pages and google doesn't return any results
[09:01] <Byan> wilsoniya: yes
[09:01] <Joe_CoT> kronus_ : do you get any errors? does it detect the card?
[09:01] <Byan> wilsoniya: it's a intel GMA900 chipset
[09:01] <kronus_> "Error: no handler or method for GPE[7] , disabling event"
[09:01] <Byan> and it's suppost to be at 1280x768
[09:01] <wilsoniya> Byan: that should'nt matter
[09:02] <wilsoniya> hmm
[09:02] <wilsoniya> do you have the correct res set in xorg.conf?
[09:02] <kronus_> it triggered on the 'eth' in method
[09:02] <kronus_> the card's LED's are lit up
[09:02] <Byan> wilsoniya: no idea..
[09:02] <Joe_CoT> kronus_: yeah, i see. that leads me to believe it isn't finding it at all. do lspci and see if it shows up in there
[09:02] <wilsoniya> ok, try this
[09:03] <Dame> Ive just installed Ubuntu for first time. Im wondering whats the default root password since I was no asked for any?
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> !root | Dame
[09:03] <ubotu> Dame: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:03] <kronus_> nnope, don't see it
[09:04] <wilsoniya> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[09:04] <kronus_> i'm thinking hardware problem, going to move the card to another slot
[09:04] <Joe_CoT> kronus_ then yeah, it's getting power and nothing else. if it doesn't show up in lspci, i'm not really sure what else there is you could do with it.
[09:04] <wilsoniya> then, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:04] <Asturia> hi everyone
[09:04] <wilsoniya> scroll down and you'll see a bunch of screen resolutions listed for different bit depths

[09:06] <Joe_CoT> Byan: if the one you want is the first in the list for all the bit depths, and it's not being used, it could be moving down to another in the list, because your horizontal and vertical sync weren't detected correctly
[09:06] <wilsoniya> yup.. just like you see the others
[09:06] <wilsoniya> in the same format
[09:07] <wilsoniya> "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

[09:17] <erUSUL> !lamp | nnn
[09:17] <ubotu> nnn: 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+)
[09:17] <damageDOne> And the howto on the forums doesn't work.
[09:18] <nnn> libapache2-mod-auth-mysql ?
[09:18] <wilsoniya> nnn: one sec
[09:19] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: you sure you have mysql-server installed? does it work from a command line?
[09:19] <s1mple_m4n> evening all. question: i once had a nautilus script installed that converted .flv files from youtube to .avi/.mpg but cannot find it. i have searched ubuntu forums with no luck. can anyone help??
[09:19] <Joe_CoT> ie does "mysql -uroot" connect you?
[09:20] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: no I get command not found when I try that.
[09:20] <OrTigaS> where can i go if i want to ping public IP?
[09:20] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[09:20] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: okay, what do I need mysql for?
[09:20] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: if you want mysql 4 instead of 5, mysql4-server
[09:20] <nnn> but where is php CLI ? $ php4
[09:20] <nnn> bash: php4: command not found
[09:21] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: phpmyadmin is to administer a mysql server O.o
[09:21] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: What do I want that for?
[09:21] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: ...and i'm an idiot. sorry ^_^
[09:21] <wilsoniya> nnn: try sudo apt-get install php4-mysql
[09:21] <zarul>  4089 codefrea  17   0  175m  38m  760 D  0.3 31.0   2:26.04 firefox-bin
[09:21] <nnn> it always installed
[09:21] <zarul> wtf?
[09:21] <wilsoniya> hmm
[09:21] <zarul> firefox is killing  me
[09:22] <zarul> lol
[09:22] <CyTG> looking for a sata controller (pci 32bit/33mhz) can you recommend something ?
[09:22] <Joe_CoT> nnn, tkae everything i just said to damageDOne, and pretend it was to you
[09:22] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: Oh how do I get rid of mysql now?
[09:23] <OrTigaS> anyone?
[09:23] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: Do I have to wait for it to finish installing
[09:24] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: ^_^ sorry! ctrl+c it
[09:24] <Joe_CoT> if it didn't finish downloading, they weren't installed
[09:24] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: How do I clean it up?
[09:24] <drumline_> Looking for a managed security switch like the Cisco Catalyst, but don't want to pay the huge sum of cash for a Cisco.  Anyone know of a nice switch like that?
[09:25] <Byan> alright
[09:25] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne did it actually start installing? mysql-server is like 25 mb
[09:25] <Byan> cool
[09:25] <Byan> resolution is fixed
[09:25] <wilsoniya> nice
[09:25] <damageDOne> I think it said it 85MB... but I want to get rid of the stuff that has downloaded.
[09:25] <zarul> anyone has experience with any lightweight browser that is  not so buggy?
[09:26] <Byan> why.. is my DNS failing at life
[09:26] <ardchoille42> damageDOne, You want to get rid of downloaded packages?
[09:26] <wilsoniya> byan: that resolution setting plagued me for quite a while.. glad i could save you a little sanity :)
[09:26] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql*
[09:27] <Byan> wilsoniya: yeah, thank you
[09:27] <damageDOne> Joe_CoT: Thanks.
[09:27] <Wodger> lynx is stable ;-)
[09:27] <OrTigaS> where can i ping public IP? in xterm?
[09:27] <damageDOne> ardchoille42: Don't worry all sorted.
[09:27] <geoffthefish> does anybody else get an annoying 'your session has been saved' window when they shutdown?
[09:27] <geoffthefish> how do i stop it?
[09:28] <frogzoo> geoffthefish: session option - to save at shutdown
[09:28] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne : as for your actual problem, i don't really know. i also haven't gotten ipods to work in edgy, but i haven't tried very hard. sorry again
[09:28] <Joe_CoT> nnn: is your stuff resolved?
[09:28] <wilsoniya> OrTigas: open an xterm and do a ping <remote address>
[09:28] <nnn> ok I all do as in doc... but why  php4
[09:28] <nnn> bash: php4: command not found
[09:28] <OrTigaS> ok..lemme try
[09:28] <damageDOne> I've followed the howto but it hasn't worked.
[09:28] <rtsai1111> hi
[09:29] <damageDOne> I hate the idea of having to use windows just for an ipod.
[09:29] <zarul> Wodger, yeah lynx is cool
[09:29] <nnn> I get this error only in Zend now
[09:29] <rtsai1111> is there a debian-like "unstable" for ubuntu where I can get stuff newer than edgy?
[09:29] <wilsoniya> I like links2
[09:29] <nnn> maybe I must restart it
[09:29] <zarul> but  too bad I need something more than text-based  browser
[09:29] <nnn> ?
[09:29] <zarul> I have  modified firefox cache size
[09:29] <frogzoo> zarul: links2 is better
[09:29] <zarul> but still never make me  tha happy yet
[09:30] <geoffthefish> frogzoo:  sorry dont see that
[09:30] <OrTigaS> ok.. got it.... but its continues.. how if i just want it to ping 3 times?
[09:30] <geoffthefish> frogzoo:  is it 'ask on logout'?
[09:30] <Joe_CoT> damageDOne: none of the threads in the forums helped?
[09:30] <zarul> frogzoo, so  you tried it before?
[09:30] <wilsoniya> links2 is great for ascii pr0n!!!!!!
[09:30] <frogzoo> geoffthefish: sys -> prefs -> sessions -> session options -> auto save
[09:30] <zarul> lol
[09:31] <zarul> I never use links2 for gui
[09:31] <frogzoo> zarul: no, I just randomly recommend stuff for the fun of it
[09:31] <gnoodle1> Finally got a working system installed... Now new minor problem. I'm trying to mount my windows drives. The manual says to "Open  System->Administration->Disks". Unfortunately, no such entry exists, and I don't see anything similar. Do I need to install something extra?
[09:31] <zarul> lol
[09:31] <wilsoniya> lol
[09:31] <Joe_CoT> well, that sucked. later guys
[09:31] <wilsoniya> bye
[09:31] <geoffthefish> frogzoo:  ah i see, thanks
[09:31] <EnsignRedshirt> 
[09:32] <Dame> I cant install some packages. Im trying toget mp3 support but some of the packages I need cant be found. I added the universe and multiverse repositories and everytime when I start Add/Remove it says that the package list is outdated, but I reload all the time. Im doing something wrong?
[09:32] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: Which version of Ubuntu?  That item exists in dapper (6.06).
[09:32] <zarul> firefox is getting heavier day  by day
[09:32] <Wodger> as are all browsers
[09:32] <gnoodle1> EnsignRedshirt: 6.1
[09:32] <Wodger> my normal computer is powerbook
[09:33] <Wodger> omniweb there can use massive amounts of ram etc
[09:33] <zarul> firefox used to be  the best browser on   this old machine
[09:33] <Wodger> get a older version?
[09:33] <zarul> but  now, it is getting worse...
[09:34] <zarul> Wodger, that's what I am  thinking
[09:34] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: What manual are you using? Is it for 6.06 or 6.10?
[09:34] <Wodger> features come at a cost
[09:34] <zarul> but maybe there is something new out  there which I missed...
[09:34] <gnoodle1> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch10s02.html
[09:34] <evan_> jj
[09:34] <wilsoniya> zarul: they just gotta lay off the features for a while and concentrate on perf.
[09:34] <Dame> !repositories
[09:34] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:34] <wilsoniya> nobody wants to do that cuz its either too hard or not cool
[09:34] <zarul> wilsoniya, exactly
[09:35] <arpan> hi, i have a Microsoft font that I want to install on my system, how do I do it? its Consolas, and I have dloaded the setup.exe file
[09:35] <EnsignRedshirt> Anyone else running edgy? Does System->Admin->Disk exist?
[09:35] <zarul> for me performance is more important than having a cool  features
[09:35] <geo_> so, what mail client do you guys use?
[09:35] <zarul> I  think they should make 2  version  of firefox
[09:35] <frogzoo> EnsignRedshirt: nopers
[09:35] <zarul> one is for performance
[09:35] <wilsoniya> EnsignRedShirt: thats a negative
[09:35] <zarul> and the other with  mambo jumbo  features
[09:35] <wilsoniya> zarul: not a bad idea
[09:35] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: It looks like the web page is not up-to-date.
[09:36] <wilsoniya> I must admit, i kinda like the spell check of ff2, but it could be implemented as an extension
[09:36] <gnoodle1> Any idea what I need to do to access my files?
[09:36] <zarul> yeah...
[09:36] <frogzoo> gnoodle1: what's the problem?
[09:36] <zarul> they should let users choose whether  they want to add the extension  or otherwise
[09:36] <AgentChemical> well holly fn $hit !
[09:37] <AgentChemical> i can boot from a cd now !
[09:37] <wilsoniya> the only problem is that the en masse consumer can't handle adding stuff... so they'll be like "but ie7 has features xyz!!!!@L#Kj 123"
[09:37] <gandalfcome> I use fglrx on ubuntu edgy. I have my xorg configured for big desktop. The login screen is in big desktop mode but when gnome starts the external lcd goes to distorted clone(i have a laptop ati x700 card). thanks for help
[09:37] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: Look around in System -> Admin for something similar?  Or maybe a 6.10 user can see if the corresponding function has been moved to a different menu.
[09:37] <KorN[CM] > can someone please help me
[09:37] <KorN[CM] > ive installed xfce
[09:37] <KorN[CM] > not sure how to start it though
[09:37] <gnoodle1> Frogzoo: I'm trying to mount my Windows partitions, but "System->Administration->Disks" (as specified in the manual) doesn't exist
[09:37] <AgentChemical> my god it took me 6 hours to fix this piece of shit
[09:38] <gnoodle1> EnsignRedshirt: Nothing close.
[09:38] <altecmak> can somebody help me
[09:38] <EnsignRedshirt> gnoodle1: The is a command-line way, using the mount command, but I don't know the correct syntax off the top of my head.
[09:39] <frogzoo> !ntfs | gnoodle1
[09:39] <ubotu> gnoodle1: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:39] <AgentChemical> well, i dont know if anyone is registerd on the ubuntu forums cause im not, but i had an issue, that alot of ppl are having and i fixed it....dont know if anyone wants to post something about it
[09:39] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: get better hardware :p
[09:39] <altecmak> im in a lan and would like to communicate to other computers in the terminal (chat) but dont know how
[09:39] <wilsoniya> gnome/nautilus problem: navigating the fs using nautilus randomly pops up a bunch of windows of my home directory... wtf???
[09:40] <BlueDevil> is firefox2 in any dapper repos?
[09:40] <BlueDevil> !firefox2
[09:40] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: was it a kernel issue or an ubuntu issue?
[09:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:40] <wilsoniya> gnoodle: the ubuntuguide has good methods for doing what you need as well
[09:40] <gnoodle1> Thanks Frogzoo, I'll check that out.
[09:40] <terapicodav1> altecmak: try gaim or xchat
[09:40] <AgentChemical> it was a install issue, cd wouldnt boot
[09:41] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: usually that's acpi problems, was this the case?
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion if not
[09:41] <wilsoniya> anyone have ideas about my nautilus problem?
[09:41] <gnoodle1> ubuntuguide? The manual at has the wrong info.
[09:41] <AgentChemical> nope
[09:41] <gnoodle1> oops at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch10s02.html
[09:41] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: yeah, been there, but can't find it in synaptic
[09:41] <OrTigaS> how can i make ping an IP with just only 3 times?
[09:41] <Asturia> can anyone help me in setting up my firewall (iptables), I'm not going to use firestarter for this since I'm setting a server
[09:41] <BlueDevil> i have backports enabled
[09:41] <wilsoniya> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[09:41] <frogzoo> OrTigaS: man ping
[09:41] <wilsoniya> search that page for ntfs mounting
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: It probably isn't - see backporting policy.
[09:42] <gnoodle1> Thanks wilsoniya. Hadn't found that site yet.
[09:42] <AgentChemical> frog, no it wasnt....ill just do a small write up on it and post something
[09:42] <KorN[CM] > ive installed xfce
[09:42] <KorN[CM] > not sure how to start it though
[09:42] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: weird then; on the wiki page it says it's available in backports for dapper
[09:42] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: probably the best resource for random ubuntu crap imo
[09:42] <OrTigaS> hmm man pin
[09:42] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: link?
[09:42] <KorN[CM] > can someone help me please?
[09:42] <frogzoo> AgentChemical: best sol'n is to post a bug on launchpad
[09:43] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy

[09:47] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : 'sudo invoke-rc.d xdm start'
[09:47] <KorN[CM] > i booted into recovery console
[09:48] <wilsoniya> help w/ a Nautilus problem would be nice
[09:48] <KorN[CM] > doesnt work
[09:48] <KorN[CM] > unknown initscript
[09:48] <evan_> 
[09:48] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: Seems we have a contradiction in docs, or something
[09:49] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : Did you install xubuntu-desktop or just xfce?
[09:49] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: :(
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > im sure I did install xubuntu-desktop
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> BlueDevil: Looking into it with the authorities :)
[09:50] <wilsoniya> good news everybody, the vista boxshots are in... get ready to switch to windows!!!
[09:50] <BlueDevil> was hoping to have a packaged version of firefox2
[09:50] <wilsoniya> http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/46546198/
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > cause it was like 200mb for me to download
[09:50] <BlueDevil> tonyyarusso: thanks :)
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > windows vista sux
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > tried it, hate it
[09:50] <wilsoniya> lol
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > biggest rip off of mac osx EVER
[09:50] <KorN[CM] > tonyyarussoe any ideas??
[09:50] <wilsoniya> i havent tried vista... is it pretty bad?
[09:51] <om-> I'm having repeated blocks in firestarter from port 49152, is this something I should worry about?
[09:51] <KorN[CM] > yeah its all gui thats all
[09:51] <KorN[CM] > eye candy and lacking a lot
[09:51] <wilsoniya> is the search competent?
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : 'startxfce'?
[09:51] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: but vista play Halo :(((
[09:51] <maco> wilsoniya, its sort of a lot of hype over a bit of semi-transparency which requires WAY more system resources than something like that should
[09:52] <maco> like, it requires 128mb dedicated video memory
[09:52] <maco> but using beryl/compiz you can get that with 8mb shared
[09:52] <linux_user400354> help, i need to boot my ubuntu edgy computer into single user mode to fix a problem, but when i append "Single" to the boot parameters in grub, ubuntu still boots to gdm the normal way
[09:52] <KorN[CM] > unknown job xfce
[09:52] <wilsoniya> does the new graphics api (avalon?) map all windows over polygons (like osx)_ ?
[09:52] <frogzoo> linux_user400354: is that a capital S ?
[09:52] <maco> linux_user400354, is there an option is "settings" for "single user"?
[09:53] <linux_user400354> frogzoo: yes
[09:53] <frogzoo> linux_user400354: well...
[09:53] <om-> Is Mac OS even good? I just don't like apple because of their elitist commercials
[09:53] <linux_user400354> where are those settings? i dont think so
[09:53] <wilsoniya> om-: i like os x
[09:53] <wilsoniya> its all about what you like
[09:53] <wilsoniya> i just like it cuz its pretty, and you can use all kinds of linux/unix stuff
[09:54] <frogzoo> I like edgy - it's f'n great
[09:54] <maco> linux_user400354, on the login page there should be settings in the lower right corner.  maybe there's an option in there (im not sure what all the options are)
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > i hate osx
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > hey tony
[09:54] <wilsoniya> some of the software that comes w/ osx is amazing
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > i rebooted, it loads up the mouse image (showing status of loading)
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > then screen goes into "off" mode
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : ah, ok
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > orange light on monitor
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > and then, nothing
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> weird
[09:54] <Dame> I cant start exaile and this is the error message: http://pastebin.com/861094
[09:54] <wilsoniya> but, if you don't care about artsy fartsy crap then you're not missing much
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> KorN[CM] : Not sure what to do mate
[09:54] <linux_user400354> om-: frogzoo should it not be?
[09:54] <osfameron> I enjoy annoying mac fanboys by suggesting buying a macbook and installing ubuntu on it
[09:54] <frogzoo> linux_user400354: correct
[09:54] <KorN[CM] > hm there was an optioon before about choosing screen res
[09:55] <osfameron> they say things like "why buy champagne flutes to drink coke out of?!" which is always amusing
[09:55] <wilsoniya> osfameron: lol
[09:55] <om-> should what not be?
[09:55] <frogzoo> osfameron: the core 2 duo lappies look sweet
[09:55] <wilsoniya> i have a macbook
[09:55] <KorN[CM] > aggg
[09:55] <wilsoniya> its nice
[09:55] <osfameron> frogzoo: not sure about the keyboards though
[09:55] <lotacus> oh wow, this locale setting is pretty good
[09:56] <JoKoT3> hello, you people alive ? :p
[09:56] <wilsoniya> theres an os x app called MacSabre, which makes light sabre noises using the sudden motion sensor
[09:56] <frogzoo> osfameron: yeah, dunno, not in the market for a new lappie yet
[09:56] <JoKoT3> yeah !!
[09:56] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: clearly an essential desktop app
[09:56] <JoKoT3> #ubuntu-fr is sleeping :D
[09:56] <JoKoT3> the whole channel
[09:56] <wilsoniya> frogzoo: right on
[09:56] <osfameron> frogzoo: I would be except I just ordered a Nokia N800 tablet, and that ate into my gadget budget a bit
[09:57] <JoKoT3> I should ask my  question
[09:57] <hsm> yeah
[09:57] <n30n> wine client error:d: version mismatch 261/263.
[09:57] <n30n> Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
[09:57] <n30n> or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
[09:57] <n30n> Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
[09:58] <frogzoo> n30n: did you delete your ~/.wine before upgrading wine ?
[09:58] <n30n> frogzoo: no sir
[09:58] <frogzoo> n30n: also, I recommend you get wine from the budgetdedicated repo, it's much more up to date
[09:58] <JoKoT3> Is anybody have already encounter problem while installing ubuntu (edgy, dapper) on a box with an AIC-7896 scsi controller ?
[09:59] <frogzoo> !wine | n30n
[09:59] <ubotu> n30n: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:59] <wilsoniya> anybody know of any linux FPS's like nexuiz ?
[09:59] <wilsoniya> or better?
[10:00] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: quake III & IV
[10:00] <mneptok> wilsoniya: Wolf:ET
[10:00] <wilsoniya> quake iii is classic
[10:00] <garryFre> I found a big horrible bug in Linux!!! ......
[10:00] <garryFre> Hhehe, Just joking!
[10:01] <wilsoniya> garryFre: it's written by commies trying to end capitalism and encourage pedophilia?!?!
[10:01] <mneptok> !offtopic
[10:01] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[10:01] <garryFre> heh
[10:02] <om-> can you just apt-get install quake3 and it works? or does it require tons of config
[10:02] <lotacus> how would I add refresh rates to the screen resolution?
[10:03] <n30n> My sources.list is already set to budgetdedicated
[10:03] <wilsoniya> all i see is quake 2 in the repo
[10:03] <n30n> for wine
[10:03] <mick666> How the ubuntu's developers use for this software? C,C++,Java, Assembler?
[10:03] <garryFre> Its pretty simple, I think the version I had dind't have the music but there are versions for wine and for just straight linux

[10:03] <wilsoniya> oooooh
[10:03] <mick666> which*
[10:03] <linux_user400354> im going to launch nice -n 20 john (ripper) and let it run all night while i snooze
[10:04] <rabidphage> greetings
[10:05] <rabidphage> what is the key combination to save in nano?
[10:05] <rabidphage> thanks in advance
[10:05] <garryFre> might be ctrl k s
[10:05] <garryFre> don't quote me on that tho
[10:05] <wilsoniya> ctrl w
[10:05] <wilsoniya> [writeout] 
[10:06] <wilsoniya> sorry ctrl o
[10:06] <rabidphage> is that synonymous with save of save as?
[10:06] <rabidphage> ???
[10:06] <wilsoniya> it is more like save as
[10:06] <mneptok> rabidphage: sudo aptitude install ne
[10:06] <wilsoniya> you can always save under a diff name each time you do a ctrl o
[10:07] <mneptok> rabidphage: that editor will probably be more intuitive for a GUI person than is nano
[10:07] <tonyyarusso> rabidphage: Ctrl O, yes.
[10:07] <rabidphage> can't coz i'm ssh
[10:07] <gnoodle1> One more question, then bedtime... My mouse (Logitech mx610 USB) is very "twitchy". It doesn't want to move in a smooth way. I've tried adjusting the setting in the mouse control panel, but they don't seem make any difference to this (they do effect the speed, but not the "twitchiness"). Any suggestions to make the mouse smoother?
[10:07] <rabidphage> and head less
[10:07] <wilsoniya> nano is quite simple
[10:07] <wilsoniya> ne
[10:08] <mneptok> rabidphage: sudo aptitude install ne
[10:08] <garryFre> Is it a rollerball mouse?
[10:08] <mojojojo__> what can I do if the universal repo is buggy, i mean I'm trying to install a package but the dependency require are such that they need older version
[10:08] <mneptok> rabidphage: ^^^ this is a terminal command ^^ ;)
[10:08] <gnoodle1> Laser.
[10:08] <garryFre> Yep, pebkac error
[10:08] <snail> can anyone recommend any application in ubuntu that does grammar checking?
[10:08] <gnoodle1> The mouse works great under Windows.
[10:08] <rabidphage> ctrl o prompts for file name with a bunch of commands
[10:08] <snail> garryFre: have you checked that it's free of dust and gunk in the wheel?
[10:09] <garryFre> Yep, I had a laser mouse go defective, also salt and other crystaline stuff can cuse it to go nuts.
[10:09] <rabidphage> what do i do?
[10:09] <wilsoniya> rabidphage: you can just type in a name... or if you've already saved, just hit enter and it'll use the same name
[10:09] <gnoodle1> It's not bad, I can reboot to Windows and it works fine.
[10:09] <rabidphage> thanks
[10:09] <garryFre> snail my mouse is ok. now.
[10:10] <rabidphage> just to be sure coz i don't want to mess up my first lamp install.. he he he
[10:10] <terapicodav1> gnoodle1: are you running through a kvm switch?
[10:11] <rabidphage> see ya guys.. peace and love
[10:11] <gnoodle1> Nope. Just straight to the USB port.
[10:11] <oFF-beAt> need to configure a bluetooth connection,., my fone can detect my desktop pc.. need some help on pc side
[10:11] <garryFre> !bluetooth
[10:11] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[10:11] <terapicodav1> gnoodle1: does it skip around the screen or just act jerky/
[10:11] <oFF-beAt> thanx garryFre
[10:12] <gnoodle1> It does seem like it's under-sensitive, but I adjested the sensitivity setting all the way to the top.
[10:12] <gnoodle1> Jerky mostly.
[10:12] <garryFre> oFF-beAt welcome
[10:12] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: what's your system load at when it gets jerkky?
[10:13] <gnoodle1> 0.10 load-- not much running and it's a brand new install
[10:13] <terapicodav1> i've noticed something similar when I have another usb device working hard
[10:13] <terapicodav1> but it's just freezy not jerky
[10:13] <wilsoniya> input device problems are a pita
[10:14] <gnoodle1> It's definitely not a load issue, and I have nothing else currently hooked up to USB
[10:15] <AnAnt> hello, I setup compiz on edgy and it is working
[10:15] <m1shawhan> I actually like ubuntu but I need to remove it from this hard drive...does anyone know of a quick easy way to do this without format?
[10:15] <gnoodle1> Even 'jerky' doesn't seem quite right. Twitchy seems better. It seems to be either over- or under-sensitive to the texture on my desk. Works fine in Windows, though.
[10:15] <AnAnt> except that I can't zoom & do desktop rotation , how to do that ?
[10:15] <gnoodle1> It's not a huge deal, just very annoying.
[10:16] <mneptok> gnoodle1: http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-11058.html
[10:16] <terapicodav1> wonder if there's some sort of usbspy
[10:16] <qt> can some one show me the proper syntax for tar --exclude?
[10:16] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: i can't help a whole lot.. but i remember the xorg setup utility asking questions about mouse types, etc... you might google abou tit
[10:16] <mneptok> gnoodle1: looks like lag issues are not confined to Linux.
[10:17] <steelb> is it feasible to run games through VMWare... i need a way to run some of my favorite games that don't work with Wine (Rise of Nations)
[10:18] <wilsoniya> steelb: i do not believe vmware provides 3d accelleration
[10:18] <steelb> ouch
[10:18] <wilsoniya> steelb: google that though
[10:19] <steelb> yea... its not really useful for games... any way to run those games though?
[10:19] <gnoodle1> Thanks mneptok, but that doesn't seem to apply. I've had the mouse for a year or so and it's been trouble free. It's not  a reception issue. Like I said, it's not really lag, just seems under-sensitive.
[10:19] <aalhamad> hi ..
[10:19] <frogzoo> steelb: action games in vmware is a non starter
[10:19] <enaut> i tried to recover my partitiontable therefore i used gpart and i sucessfull recovered 2 out of 3 partitions since there were only 3 and the space was fully used i thought that the rest of the space must be the third so i made a partition in the empty space (with QTparted) but when loked wether it worked on the new partition were all datas of the NTFS partition whereas the NTFS partition is completely empty exept for an empty folder lost an
[10:19] <enaut> d found :( qtparted couldn't have moved all the Data because it finished it's actions i some seconds. I really don't know what  happened.
[10:19] <aalhamad> how can i install kunbuntu desktop .. with all it packages?
[10:19] <terapicodav1> gnoodle1: i've had to hit reconnect sometimes with mine and other times had to move the power cable and what not...wireless is still iffy for me
[10:20] <aalhamad> how can i install kunbuntu desktop .. with all it packages?
[10:21] <wilsoniya> g'night everyone. good luck w/ all your probs, and happy ubuntuing
[10:21] <enaut> alhamad apt-get install kubuntu-desktop should work
[10:22] <aalhamad> usually do people use both or only one?
[10:22] <m1shawhan> anyone know of an easy way to remove ubuntu?
[10:22] <aalhamad> is it recommended to use both?
[10:22] <wilsoniya> aalhamad: use whichever you're most comfortable with
[10:22] <wilsoniya> or both
[10:23] <aalhamad> is it recommended to use both (for some packages integration)?
[10:23] <enaut> anyone there who knows what happened with my partitions?
[10:24] <wilsoniya> well, you can run both gnome and kde apps on both desktops... the package management allows you to pretty much do whatever you want
[10:24] <frogzoo> how come azureus on edgy is still broken?
[10:24] <wilsoniya> i run kde apps from gnome all the time
[10:24] <wilsoniya> frogzoo: whats broken about it?
[10:24] <oFF-beAt> blue tooth file sharing.. does not respond.. searching for devices in commands line with "sudo hidd --search"  return nothing
[10:24] <frogzoo> wilsoniya: it starts up & craps out
[10:24] <wilsoniya> I have problems with it, but not that
[10:24] <aalhamad> thanks :)
[10:24] <EnsignRedshirt> frogzoo: If it is not a security issue, it may never get fixed.
[10:24] <wilsoniya> np
[10:25] <aalhamad> whats the size of the desktop?
[10:25] <frogzoo> EnsignRedshirt: oh noes..
[10:25] <wilsoniya> aalhamad: like in MB?
[10:25] <aalhamad> yeah?
[10:25] <wilsoniya> i don't know.. i think synaptic could tell you that
[10:25] <wilsoniya> but...
[10:25] <frogzoo> EnsignRedshirt: k, I may buckle & install from source
[10:25] <wilsoniya> installing kde will entail install many many packages
[10:25] <aalhamad> around 40 MB?
[10:26] <gnoodle1> m1shawhan: Just format the partition
[10:26] <wilsoniya> allhamad: that could be right.. probably less than 100
[10:26] <AzMoo> Hey, I'm trying to upgrade to feisty, but every time I try it tells me "Authentication failed". Any ideas how to fix that?
[10:26] <aalhamad> ok thanks :)
[10:26] <m1shawhan> through dos? no way to just put in there an uninstall command or other?
[10:26] <wilsoniya> just install another OS over ubuntu
[10:26] <frogzoo> AzMoo: feist is NOT an upgrade - feisty is horribly alpha & will break
[10:26] <wilsoniya> the OS's installer will give you a chance to repartition
[10:27] <m1shawhan> :(thats what I'm trying to avoid
[10:27] <gnoodle1> You can't just uninstall, since Windows won't recognize the Linux partition.
[10:27] <enyc> somebody please remoind me what package i need to regonfigure for setting the console keyboard-layout ;-)
[10:27] <frogzoo> AzMoo: but if you still wish to persist -> #ubuntu+1
[10:27] <m1shawhan> thats what I was afraid of...thanks!
[10:28] <AzMoo> frogzoo, Oh, I see. Lots of people seem to be playing with it. I just wanted to try beryl.
[10:28] <gnoodle1> np
[10:28] <m1shawhan> lol..wish me luck
[10:28] <frogzoo> AzMoo: beryl is doable on edgy
[10:28] <frogzoo> !beryl
[10:28] <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
[10:28] <enaut> i had it working on edgy
[10:28] <wilsoniya> gnoodle1: you can actually read ext3 from windoze w/ some upgrades
[10:29] <AzMoo> frogzoo, nice one, thankyou :)
[10:29] <mneptok> wilsoniya: rw
[10:29] <wilsoniya> ... not sure off the top of my head
[10:29] <wilsoniya> i think both
[10:29] <enaut> still nobody Knows what problem is in my partition table?
[10:29] <mneptok> wilsoniya: i'm sure. it's rw. :)
[10:30] <wilsoniya> http://www.fs-driver.org/ for anyone who's interested
[10:30] <oFF-beAt> :D thanx ubuntu is grea.,. it works
[10:31] <enyc> i have this bivarre problem in ubuntu-edgy packaging having now upgraded to edgy...
[10:31] <enyc> "belocs-locales-bin: Conflicts: base-config but 2.76 is to be installed" "locales: Conflicts: base-config but 2.76 is to be installed"
[10:32] <wilsoniya> i'm like 99% sure i know this: is there any way to play encrypted aac in lin ?
[10:32] <gnoodle1> Wilsoniya: I was assuming that wasn't what he wanted
[10:32] <enyc> wilsoniya: I think that can be done with vlc
[10:32] <gnoodle1> Frogzoo: Beryl looks cool. How stable is it?
[10:32] <wilsoniya> enyc: to clarify, i mean itunes encrypted aac files
[10:32] <enyc> wilsoniya: but you generally best to use qtfairuse6 not-in-linux to decrypt the files ;-)
[10:32] <enaut> not too much
[10:33] <enyc> wilsoniya: you have to do something to get the keys into a .vlc something file which can then be used to decrypt the files when playing... or you can use qtfairuse6 to decrypt all the files so there is no problem
[10:33] <frogzoo> gnoodle1: dunno, wobbly windows are overrated :D
[10:34] <enaut> gnoodlel not too stable but its doing its job
[10:34] <wilsoniya> frogzoo: agreed. cool for 2 hrs after you show your friends..
[10:34] <enaut> ok i'll go off now doing real world stuff cu
[10:34] <gnoodle1> Sounds about right.
[10:34] <concept10> gnoodle1, ive never seen beryl crash, its stable enough
[10:35] <wilsoniya> peace out yall... keep on truckin
[10:35] <mneptok> personally, i don't use or recommend compositing, ATM.
[10:36] <aalhamad> how can i set a diffrent theme in my desktops
[10:36] <aalhamad> every desktop has a diffrent them?
[10:36] <aalhamad> every desktop has a diffrent theme?
[10:36] <mneptok> aalhamad: System -> Prefs -> Theme
[10:36] <aalhamad> yeah but if i change that all my desktops shall have the same theme.
[10:37] <aalhamad> i want all my desktop to have diffrent themes?
[10:37] <concept10> aalhamad, you cant do that unless you do some hacking
[10:37] <aalhamad> how?
[10:38] <aalhamad> no .. hacking might  cause damage to my kernel..
[10:38] <aalhamad> i guess ill add a user ..
[10:39] <aalhamad> and change it theme
[10:39] <concept10> aalhamad, if you have to ask, you will not be able to get it done.  A GNOME theme changes controls etc, are you saying you want different controls for every _virtual_desktop? or different background
[10:39] <aalhamad> all of them..
[10:40] <bayziders> in amarok when i click on a .mp3 song( I have the plug in installed) the song will not start. What is wrong?
[10:40] <Flannel> bayziders: have you installed mp3 codecs?
[10:40] <hd420> where's the python-curses deb file?
[10:41] <bayziders> Flannel: how do i do that
[10:41] <emxsi> whats the size of the 6.06 repository excluding the security?
[10:41] <bayziders>  libxine-extracodecs ?
[10:41] <Flannel> bayziders: correct
[10:41] <linux_user400354> frogzoo: i got into single user mode. i was reading a redhat webpage about booting to single user mode and it was wrong. it said to use a capital S.
[10:42] <AzMoo> haha, this looks awesome.
[10:42] <AzMoo> frogzoo, cheers
[10:42] <Flannel> linux_user400354: single user mode for ubuntu is available at the grub prompt (recovery kernel)
[10:42] <Asturia> I have a firewall script that needs to be started as boot. How do I do that?
[10:43] <Jimmey> I've got two hard drives separate to the one that Ubuntu's installed on, and they're both mounted to the desktop. I can't rename them to make the name tags go away (I'd prefer to rename them), but I want them to be removed from the desktop - How can I do that?
[10:44] <smejky> Asturia: add path to /etc/rc.local before exit 0
[10:45] <bayziders> yay it worker, k now im happy.
[10:46] <Jimmey> Sorry, they're not mounted on the desktop - They're mounted in /media/, but there are icons on the desktop
[10:46] <Asturia> smejky: I understand that, but it's not really a script, more of a config file with all the settings for the firewall.
[10:46] <oFF-beAt> ok, i can recieve files from my fone to pc fine.. now how do i send to fone from pc?
[10:48] <Arcad3> whats new in Ubuntu world?..
[10:48] <bayziders> How do i change grubs gui to something not so basic
[10:48] <Jimmey> bayziders, you can change the colours - That's it
[10:49] <Arcad3> i saw a gui in SuSe
[10:49] <Arcad3> something like that can be done in Ubunu?
[10:49] <oFF-beAt> i need to get obexserver right?
[10:50] <bayziders> jimmey ; k how
[10:51] <Jimmey> bayziders, "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" in a terminal, read what it says about the colours first
[10:52] <hassel> anyone who can help a first time ubuntu user??
[10:52] <bezibaerchen> anyone around who's firm with the xen-bug?
[10:53] <pty> hassel: whats the problem?
[10:53] <erUSUL> Asturia: copy the script to /etc/init.d/ make it executable and use update-rc.d to add it to the init system
[10:54] <erUSUL> Asturia: btw i recomend you to use something like firehol or shorewall instead of a hand crafted firewall. they are easy to set up and more powerfull
[10:54] <linux_user400354> Flannel: okay thanks. ill remember that next time.
[10:54] <erUSUL> Asturia: se here for example http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/firehol.htm
[10:54] <hassel> Pty, ok, i think ive solved the problem, thanks anyway
[11:00] <theosk> Hi people! Let's see if someone may help me :P
[11:01] <theosk> I made a shell script, chmod it so it can run (it does run in terminal) but it doesn't do anything when I double clic it in nautilus, it just opens an empty terminal
[11:01] <linux_user400354> does john crack faster if it is launched with nice -n -20 john passfile?
[11:02] <mneptok> theosk: first line of the script?
[11:02] <theosk> !#/bin/bash
[11:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bin/bash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:03] <beginn3r> how come #xubuntu is so quiet?
[11:03] <mneptok> beginn3r: uses fewer resources that way.
[11:03] <grub_booter> theosk: #!/usr/bin/env bash might be better?
[11:03] <mneptok> *rimshot*
[11:04] <bluefox83> anyone know why an nfs server would refuse connection to the ip that is set to connect to it?
[11:05] <bluefox83> ie 192.168.1.100 is suppose to connect to 192.168.1.101 but when *.100 tries connecting..it refuses the connection...
[11:06] <ddwagnz> gekki
[11:06] <ddwagnz> hello*
[11:06] <theosk>  #!/usr/bin/env doesn't work for me even in terminal :P
[11:06] <oFF-beAt> where do i put a bunch of commands to automatically execute when the pc starts?
[11:06] <AzMoo> So in the beryl options, for key settings it's got a "super" option, along with "ctrl" "alt" "shift" etc. Wtf is the super button?
[11:06] <andcor> oFF-beAt: /etc/init.d/rc.ocal
[11:07] <ddwagnz> i have a question about using the live cd, is it possiable to run linux based app's from somewhere on a harddrive that has windows on it?
[11:07] <andcor> oFF-beAt: or in the session management in gnome
[11:07] <grub_booter> theosk: #!/usr/bin/env bash
[11:08] <andcor> ddwagnz: it should be
[11:08] <ddwagnz> so really browsing the hdd,,,,,,,
[11:08] <ddwagnz> as i have been trying this afternoon but so far unsuccessful
[11:08] <grub_booter> theosk: env will locate the real location of bash rather than assuming it...
[11:08] <ddwagnz> its more like  a access problem really "dont have permission to view blah blah blah"
[11:08] <mneptok> ddwagnz: the lack of NTFS write will be an issue
[11:09] <theosk> the location of bash is right, the script runs at prompt but not by double clicking on it
[11:09] <ddwagnz> hmmmm
[11:09] <ddwagnz> is there a way to overcome it?
[11:09] <andcor> NTFS can be writable, but it is unsafe
[11:10] <ddwagnz> hmmm
[11:10] <bornholme> andcor, in which way unsafe?
[11:10] <m0ns00n> Hey!
[11:10] <m0ns00n> I just installed an app, but it doesn't install in /usr/bin
[11:10] <m0ns00n> Is there a way to find where this app has gone?
[11:10] <bayziders> what would you guys recommend for a free website hosting service with free webspace that would let people download my files from links?
[11:10] <m0ns00n> a dpkg-somethingsomething command or something like that
[11:10] <incorrect> im trying to backport subversion,  for some reason it tells me that building as root is not supported
[11:10] <andcor> can't  you use partition magic to reformat the partition to fat ?
[11:10] <beginn3r> anyone knows any fix around for this issue
[11:10] <beginn3r> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/66860
[11:11] <bluefox83> !nfs
[11:11] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[11:11] <ddwagnz> i would really like to format the hdd but its a family computer and i might get into shit with fam lol
[11:11] <incorrect> very strange i can't compile subversion as root
[11:11] <frogzoo> incorrect: look into fakeroot
[11:11] <incorrect> frogzoo: already using that
[11:12] <andcor> bornholme: there are no real support and garanty on it
[11:12] <sorush20> hi
[11:12] <andcor> bornholme: Haven't tried it, so i don't know how it works
[11:13] <TooR4u> is there any free linux server accounts?
[11:13] <incorrect> is there a guide to backporting?
[11:13] <McMadd> Is it possible to "launch" a (console) application on the actual display through SSH? (Launch it remotely, have the output on the actual display)
[11:13] <sorush20> I'm using kubuntu right now and I want to just install the gnome desktop environment nothing more.. I don't want extra packages.. like abiword am epiphany, eog, or ekiga or these othere application..
[11:13] <sorush20> is there any way that I could do this ?
[11:13] <bornholme> andcor, yea okay.. im using ntfs-3g since 2 days now, on an external usb disc for storage. So I might see if its stable the hard way real soon :p
[11:13] <ddwagnz> bbl
[11:14] <andcor> bornholme: ok, make sure that you have taken backup of the disc before you try
[11:14] <TooR4u> is there any free linux server accounts?
[11:14] <andcor> TooR4u: What do you meen ?
[11:15] <andcor> which type of server do du need ?
[11:15] <andcor> do you need
[11:15] <theosk> well, my problem solved itself alone xDDD
[11:15] <McMadd> Is it possible to "launch" a (console) application on the actual display through SSH? (Launch it remotely, have the output on the actual display)
[11:15] <McMadd> Or take over a screen (non-X)
[11:16] <andcor> McMadd: yes
[11:16] <mdeboer> McMadd sure. ssh -X
[11:17] <andcor> McMadd: and in windows you can installl cygwin and enable X11 forwarding in putty
[11:17] <mdeboer> McMadd: you will need "X11Forwarding yes
[11:17] <mdeboer> " in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[11:17] <PhibreOptix> Can anybody here help me with a WINE performance problem?
[11:17] <TooR4u> andcor, i want some server account that should be free .....(because my friend wants to send some data to me ..)

[11:17] <McMadd> Hold on, I try to explain
[11:17] <andcor> Which type of server +
[11:17] <oFF-beAt> can i install MSI StarCam 370i on ubuntu ?
[11:17] <mdeboer> McMadd: no, it's X
[11:18] <McMadd> But I need it non X, I'll explain:...
[11:18] <bornholme> andcor: Second thoughts, I think id better format it to ext3 before I get too much valuable data on the disc.. would hate too loose it all.
[11:18] <bayziders> on amaork when i go to add lyrics it tells me that kfmclien can not be found how do i fix this
[11:18] <bluefox83> what package do i need to do a dns lookup?
[11:18] <andcor> bornholme: Jeg forstr dig helt sikkert ;-)
[11:18] <bornholme> :p
[11:19] <andcor> TooR4u: Just some server to make sure you can send data ?
[11:19] <oFF-beAt> lol, i pug in my cam.. and all the usb removable storage devices vanished
[11:19] <oFF-beAt> *plug
[11:19] <TooR4u> yssss
[11:19] <McMadd> I've got several machines running without keyboard/mouse. I need the output of a console app on the actual display. So we're not talking about X or any desktop environment. Just the plain "terminal/console"
[11:19] <TooR4u> andcor, i think some advantage ... if i have some server account
[11:19] <andcor> TooR4u: Well, then just about any free internet site with ftp should work
[11:20] <TooR4u> andcor, yah... i google it .....
[11:20] <mdeboer> McMadd: text you mean?
[11:20] <TooR4u> But i am not able to find that
[11:20] <McMadd> yep
[11:20] <andcor> I know that there are an danish service called frac.dk
[11:21] <mdeboer> McMadd: so, just ssh  to that machine, and run the application should work
[11:21] <andcor> where there are free webhosting
[11:21] <andcor> and ftp
[11:21] <TooR4u> ohh 1min .. lemme see
[11:21] <McMadd> But I need another person to see the output on location. (I'm loggin in remotely)
[11:22] <mdeboer> McMadd: you want to see the same application on 2 screens?
[11:22] <bluefox83> i need the dns of a computer on my network..how do i get it?
[11:22] <mdeboer> bluefox83: are you sure you mean dns?
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: 'screen' is the most awesome thing you'll hear about today :)
[11:23] <McMadd> I know it sounds strange but it's a touchscreen and I need to launch the calibration app.
[11:23] <sorush20> can I rung kubuntu apps in gnome desktop?
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: You can easily see it both places with that app
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> sorush20: yes
[11:23] <bluefox83> i think so..i gotta add something to a file so nfs will allow the other computer to connect
[11:24] <McMadd> tonyyarusso: Hmm... I've been using screen on another location but isn't that more like virtual consoles?
[11:25] <[ubuntu] biz__> 
[11:25] <TooR4u> andcor, But the language is not english ... i cant understand it .. :(
[11:25] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: It had many uses.  'screen -x' lets you connect to the same session from multiple places.
[11:25] <andcor> I know, but I don't know any english sites, sorry
[11:26] <agabus> where should i set the install path for Flash 9 for linux? what directory is firefox installed in? i.e - /usr/lib/mozilla ?
[11:26] <TooR4u> agabus, no ... /home/.../.mozilla
[11:26] <andcor> have my own server now, but haven't got any upload
[11:26] <TooR4u> andcor, ohh ... did u pay the money?
[11:27] <agabus> TooR4u - k, thanks
[11:27] <TooR4u> for hosting
[11:27] <TooR4u> ?
[11:27] <andcor> the money ?
[11:27] <andcor> no, I have build my own
[11:27] <McMadd> tonyyarusso: Ok, so I start up the machine which automatically logs in and sits there waiting with an active prompt on tty1. Now I can SSH into that machine (remotely) and connect to that session using screen?
[11:27] <TooR4u> andcor, ohhh
[11:28] <tonyyarusso> McMadd: You have to start a screen session initially on the first login, but then yes.
[11:28] <andcor> gotta go
[11:28] <capiira> hi all, anyone know if there is a way to let ubuntu 6.10 shutdown quicker?
[11:28] <andcor> see ya
[11:28] <TooR4u> ok
[11:28] <TooR4u> byee
[11:28] <ciscosurfer> capiira: how long does it take you?
[11:28] <McMadd> Ah, I get it.. and then I can "hijack" that screen session on my SSH connection
[11:28] <Mez> does anyone here have experience with writing udev rules?
[11:29] <agabus> TooR4u - the Flash 9 installer says, /home/matthew/.mozilla is not a valid installation path?
[11:29] <capiira> after the loadbar animnation gets empty it takes 45 sec
[11:29] <TooR4u> agabus, u have to put the plugin in plugin folder
[11:29] <smartman> guys how i can mount fat32 partion plase ?
[11:29] <agabus> TooR4u - which is located where?
[11:29] <capiira> so together around 1,30 min or so
[11:29] <tonyyarusso> !fat32 | smartman
[11:29] <ubotu> smartman: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[11:29] <ciscosurfer> capiira: interesting...
[11:29] <smartman> ya tonyyarusso>
[11:29] <TooR4u> ~/.mozilla/plugins
[11:30] <capiira> yeah
[11:30] <TooR4u> agabus,
[11:30] <ciscosurfer> capiira: no idea, sorry :-(
[11:30] <[ubuntu] biz__> hidden folder
[11:30] <capiira> i found something about teardown but i dont really understand this
[11:30] <smartman> ok ubotu thanks for help
[11:30] <[ubuntu] biz__> ctrl-H
[11:30] <agabus> TooR4u - within .mozilla/ there is only the directory firefox, which has no plugin folder?
[11:30] <TooR4u> agabus, if u dont have that folder then create that folder
[11:30] <smartman> i'll try and come agien
[11:30] <gandalfcome> I use fglrx on ubuntu edgy. I have my xorg configured for big desktop. The login screen is in big desktop mode but when gnome starts the external lcd goes to distorted clone(i have a laptop ati x700 card). thanks for help
[11:30] <geokok> What does "nvidia-xconfig -no composite" do (installation of drivers from ubuntu repos)? Will it be a problem if I try to install beryl with latest drivers?
[11:31] <agabus> TooR4u - but i already have a version of Flash installed and working, where would that be installed?
[11:31] <TooR4u> 1m
[11:31] <capiira> see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown
[11:31] <incorrect> is there a guide to setting up your own private repository?
[11:32] <capiira> but i down really understand what they mean with teardown
[11:32] <tonyyarusso> incorrect: I'm sure there is, but I don't have a link.  However, a couple of folks around here have done so.
[11:32] <TooR4u> agabus, i have my plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugin folder
[11:32] <incorrect> i just want to have an easy way to deploy my private compiles
[11:33] <agabus> TooR4u - interesting
[11:33] <concept10> incorrect, lookup falcon
[11:33] <tonyyarusso> incorrect: Seveas put together a tool called falcon
[11:33] <McMadd> Here's another one! There are two displays attached to these machines (dual screen works perfect in X) but when i'm not in X (console) only one screen works (normal behaviour). Is there a way to use the second display to? I'm thinking about something like "clone"
[11:33] <incorrect> thank you
[11:34] <[ubuntu] biz__> cd .mozilla/firefox
[11:34] <concept10> incorrect, its in the repos
[11:34] <incorrect> cool searching for it now
[11:34] <concept10> !falcon
[11:34] <ubotu> falcon: Falcon repository creator. In component extras, is optional. Version 1.5.4-0ubuntu2 (edgy-seveas), package size 175 kB, installed size 508 kB
[11:35] <geokok>  What does "nvidia-xconfig -no composite" do (installation of drivers from ubuntu repos)? Will it be a problem if I try to install beryl with latest drivers?
[11:35] <ciscosurfer> Anyone know how to change the default browser for external links within XChat?
[11:36] <TooR4u> hii .. my desktop preferences is not working ..... so i am not able to change my desktop background ... how to change the background manually

[11:37] <Atom-> is there a command to use to find out how much space is taken up on a HDD through console/ssh
[11:37] <mdeboer> ciscosurfer: settings / advances / URL handlers
[11:38] <mdeboer> Atom-: df
[11:38] <[ubuntu] biz__> df -h
[11:38] <hotti> atom-: you mean df -h?
[11:38] <mdeboer> Atom-: or, more readable, df -H

[11:38] <Atom-> mdeboer ty :)
[11:38] <Atom-> ty too hotti
[11:41] <agabus> TooR4u - turns out its actually /usr/lib/firefox i read that on a digg.com comment
[11:41] <McMadd> There are two displays attached to a machine (dual screen works perfect in X) but when i'm not in X (console) only one screen works (normal behaviour). Is there a way to use the second display to? I'm thinking about something like "clone"

[12:17] <WebMaven_> So, does anyone know how to format an external HD?
[12:17] <jzitt> Hi, all. I just upgraded from Dapper to Edgy on a Compaq Presario M2000, and X no longer works. Any clues/suggestions?
[12:18] <sapage> what is the startup script in ubuntu?
[12:19] <SzArAk> there is no one central script
[12:19] <SzArAk> tthere is a set of it
[12:19] <Vuen> hi, how do i make the ls command show only directories? i want a list of all the directories in the current directory, but no files
[12:19] <SzArAk> check /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc*
[12:19] <sapage> yep ta
[12:20] <sapage> i want to load  a script when the computer starts that is all
[12:20] <AnAnt> I am trying to mount an NFS partition, but I get this error: "mount: RPC: Timed out"
[12:21] <SzArAk> sapage: make s script, put it in /etc/init.d/ directory
[12:21] <SzArAk> sapage: and then do: update-rc.d name_of_script defaults
[12:21] <sapage> ok
[12:21] <SzArAk> if any problems check man update-rc.d
[12:22] <Serap1> Hi, does anyone know some command to get root rights in scratchbox?
[12:24] <EnsignRedshirt> Vuen: Here's one way: ls -p | grep "/$"
[12:24] <jzitt> I've read several web pages on things that are supposed to work to support X for the M2000, but they seem contradictory, and it's wierd that it broke when I updated to Edgy.
[12:25] <WebMaven_> OK< so the answer is gparted. Thanks.
[12:30] <Serap1>  what exactly means :"must be setuid root"?
[12:32] <jzitt> If I can't get X to work in Edgy, would there be a way to drop back to Dapper?
[12:32] <ikonia> no
[12:34] <jzitt> Hrmm. I may have to find tools to do the project in Windows, then, since I seem to be hosed Linux-wise.
[12:34] <ikonia> ok
[12:35] <frogzoo_> jzitt: what project?
[12:36] <MarcN> jzitt: what is the video card?
[12:36] <jzitt> Well, I'm working on a music project that I'd been intending to do in Rosegarden -- but when I updated my Presario M2000 from Dapper to Edgy, X died
[12:36] <ikonia> jzitt try fixing X or re-installing dapper
[12:36] <mneptok> jzitt: have you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:36] <EnsignRedshirt> jzitt: Any chance that you have a copy of the X config file from your dapper install?
[12:38] <fly_80> hello all
[12:38] <sorush20> hi
[12:38] <sorush20> I keep getting this error people could someone help please?
[12:39] <ikonia> tell us the error
[12:39] <ikonia> how can we help if you just tell us your having "an error"
[12:39] <jzitt> I don't think I have the config file from the dapper, unless it was automagically saved someplace.
[12:39] <ikonia> jzitt nope
[12:39] <mneptok> jzitt: have you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? (x2) :)
[12:39] <fly_80> i have a problem with setting key after the installation of wusb54g driver
[12:39] <fly_80> with ndiswrapper
[12:40] <fly_80> I get this: Error for wireless Request "Set Encode" (8B2A): Set failed on eth2; Unknown error 524
[12:40] <sorush20> http://pastebin.com/861171
[12:40] <ikonia> sorry I can't read URL's from my current location
[12:41] <jzitt> mneptok: no, I haven't. I just wrote that down. I'm booted into windows now, but will reboot into ubuntu and try it.
[12:41] <mneptok> jzitt: you'lll want to use sudo. you, too sorush20.
[12:41] <erUSUL> Serap1: exactly that the file nust be setuid root (hint: man chmod). Beware that setuiding involves a security risk
[12:42] <jzitt> Right. Thanks, mneptok, et al. I'll be back with word on if it worked.
[12:42] <sapage> how can i see the iptables is working? it is a file in /var/log/right?
[12:42] <twb> Howdy.  I'm trying to get antialiased kana in galeon.  Compare: http://twb.ath.cx/tmp/ja.png and http://twb.ath.cx/tmp/ko.png.  I am running Ubuntu Edgy, I have language-support-ko and language-support-ja installed.
[12:42] <frogzoo_> sapage: 'sudo iptables -L -v'
[12:43] <sapage>  /var/log/syslog will show the same?
[12:44] <frogzoo_> sapage: iptables only logs what it's configured to log, nothing more
[12:44] <sapage> ok
[12:44] <AnAnt> I am trying to mount an NFS partition, but I get this error: "mount: RPC: Timed out"
[12:45] <fly_80> nobody can help me?
[12:45] <ddwagnz> hi again
[12:46] <ikonia> AnAnt rpc is not communicating properly, look for rpc on both client and server and check for firewalls
[12:47] <OrTigaS> how to upgrade my firefox into the latest version?
[12:47] <dequeued> fly_80
[12:47] <ikonia> OrTigaS use the versions in the repo
[12:47] <dequeued> Just install the portmap service and start it
[12:48] <dequeued> then you can mount nfs volumes
[12:48] <dequeued> Sorry no one here was able to give you a helpful answer
[12:48] <sapage> !postmap
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about postmap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <OrTigaS> i'm noob how do i do that?
[12:48] <sapage> !portmap
[12:48] <ubotu> portmap: The RPC portmapper. In component main, is optional. Version 5-20ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 31 kB, installed size 148 kB
[12:48] <AnAnt> ikonia: how ?
[12:48] <fly_80> dequeued: what?
[12:49] <AnAnt> ikonia: the server is working because other clients can connect
[12:49] <dequeued> fly_80, nfs needs portmap
[12:49] <sorush20> mneptok: are you talking to me ?
[12:49] <dequeued> apt-get install portmap
[12:49] <fly_80> nfs??
[12:49] <sorush20> mneptok: I have used the sudo
[12:49] <dequeued> /etc/init.d/portmap start
[12:49] <ddwagnz> i now assume its not possible to use a current windows harddrive (NTFS) to surf and try linux apps from a live cd?
[12:49] <fly_80> wrong people
[12:49] <ikonia> AnAnt then either a firewall is stopping your clients sending rpc - or you don't have the NFS client which includes portmap installed and running on your client
[12:49] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: you can not, during a release there are no new versions of programs only security updates
[12:49] <dequeued> ack, sorry, AnAnt
[12:49] <ben_> Hi! When I try to install lprng, it conflicts with xubuntu-desktop. I guess it's a metapackage and remove it but at next upgrade, aptitude wants to remove xfce package too... Is there a way to force lprng install plz?
[12:49] <dequeued> AnAnt,  just install portmap
[12:49] <ikonia> ddwagnz live cd doesn't run from disk
[12:50] <OrTigaS> so how to upgrade my firefox?
[12:50] <ddwagnz> !!!
[12:50] <ikonia> OrTigaS you can't
[12:50] <ikonia> OrTigaS only the versions in the repo's will be supported
[12:50] <dequeued> and ikonia, I am sure he figured that out already, the error message said that
[12:50] <twb> OrTigaS: why do you want to upgrade firefox?
[12:50] <ikonia> dequeued said what
[12:50] <dequeued> he wanted to know *why* he was getting that error message
[12:50] <PhibreOptix> Does anybody here know why performance is so slow through WINE when trying to run a projector created be Macromedia Director?
[12:50] <ikonia> PhibreOptix join #wine
[12:51] <ddwagnz> ikonia, like just access the hdd from the live cd without formatting seem i wont be allowed (family comp :/)
[12:51] <PhibreOptix> Tried there, and nobody even responds to anything I ask at all >.<
[12:51] <twb> PhibreOptix: be patient
[12:51] <ikonia> dequeued as I said a firewall or the nfs client package is not installed and running - this includes portmap
[12:51] <ikonia> ddwagnz you will be fine
[12:51] <EnsignRedshirt> OrTigaS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[12:51] <dequeued> 98% of the time, that error message is because portmap is not installed and running
[12:51] <dequeued> just say install and start portmap, that is what he wants to know
[12:51] <OrTigaS> twb: someone is using version 2.0, my problem is i want my firefox to open what is the site i open it.... like the opera
[12:51] <ikonia> dequeued but portmap is a dependency on the nfs-client package
[12:52] <ikonia> hence why I didn't just say "start portmap" as its possible he doesn't have the nfs client package installed
[12:52] <ikonia> or portmap would be in place to start up at boot
[12:52] <dequeued> back when I was learning linux, I hated it when people would give overly complex and useless answers to my questions...
[12:52] <twb> OrTigaS: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
[12:52] <ikonia> dequeued telling him the reason and the package doesn't seem over complex to me ?
[12:52] <dv_> dequeued, yeah
[12:52] <ddwagnz> hmmm i'm just wanting to push ubuntu just on a simple live cd using Blender which i have a copy for lin but just trying to actually trying to get on the hdd seems inpossible without doing something

[12:54] <OrTigaS> you know Opera? when i open like this day go to sites(whatever is it) the i close shutdown. then after a day i want to open the firefox which is where i close the other day
[12:54] <Turgon> Is there a way to configure Ubuntu so a chosen video is displayed instead of one of the available screensavers? I want to do so to try to fix a lazy pixel in a lcd monitor. Thanks for your time.
[12:54] <ddwagnz> ikonia, its like a downloaded RC one (no install neeeded)
[12:54] <dv_> fortunately, distros like ubuntu exist..
[12:54] <ikonia> ddwagnz I wouldn't do it
[12:54] <OrTigaS> hmmm confusing

[12:54] <twb> OrTigaS: oh, you want the "session management" feature new in Firefox 2.0?
[12:55] <OrTigaS> i want when firefox start it will show what is the site i open before
[12:56] <twb> OrTigaS: that is called "session management", if I understand you correctly.
[12:56] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: upgrade to edgy and you will get firefox 2 and session mangment. another posibility is just install the sesion managment extension for firefox 1.5.x
[12:56] <xplorer> in firefox when i click on link it open in new window instead of new tab.i have setup to open in tab only and not in new window.
[12:56] <twb> OrTigaS: what release of Ubuntu are you running?
[12:56] <OrTigaS> 6.06
[12:57] <twb> Firefox 2.0 is included in Ubuntu Edgy 6.10.  If you upgrade to Edgy, you will get Firefox 2.0.

[12:57] <dequeued> lets leave it at that
[12:57] <OrTigaS> i tried to upgrade the other day, but my video resolution not working properly so i go back to 6.06
[12:58] <twb> OrTigaS: perhaps a better idea would be to try to fix the resolution problem.
[12:59] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: hablas espaol?
[12:59] <OrTigaS> okay.... so you gonna help me along the way to fix the resolution of may desktop

[01:01] <twb> sorush20: brazil
[01:01] <OrTigaS> i guess
[01:02] <jzitt> mneptok: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg told me that xserver-org was broken or improperly installed. An apt-get on it fixed things, and I'm now on via Edgy!
[01:02] <twb> OrTigaS: probably.  That is called "dist-upgrading"

[01:03] <Serap1> how do I get root in scratchbox?
[01:03] <sorush20> I can't see any keyboard preveiws any idea how I can get to see them in gnome?
[01:04] <erUSUL> Serap1: what is a scratchbox?
[01:04] <aefkei> Hey'a.
[01:05] <Serap1> its some cross-compilation toolkit
[01:05] <PhibreOptix> Can anybody shed some light on this? My ubuntu keeps freezing when I leave it idle
[01:06] <mneptok> jzitt: splendid! :)
[01:07] <jzitt> mneptok: it also died reading the DVD when I tried it this time, so I wiped off the disc and tried it again, successfully.
[01:08] <jzitt> So the whole thing seems to have boiled down to a smudge on the media.
[01:08] <erUSUL> Serap1: why would you need to get root in a scratchbox ??
[01:09] <erUSUL> Serap1: maybe is this what you are looking for http://www.scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-1.0/html/fakeroot.html ??
[01:10] <OrTigaS> i think i have unfinish work here, because i cant dist-upgrade. it shows the "pmount"
[01:10] <OrTigaS> The following packages have been kept back:
[01:10] <OrTigaS>   pmount
[01:10] <sorush20> is there anything like klipper in gnome ?
[01:11] <sorush20> !klipper
[01:11] <ubotu> klipper: clipboard utility for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 (edgy), package size 271 kB, installed size 940 kB
[01:12] <frogzoo_> a lot of kde apps run in gnome, worth a try
[01:12] <Serap1> sorry I was away erUSUl..I need to become root to make a filesystem for my nokia 770, I can only do this when I am root in scratchbox
[01:13] <incorrect> is it standard practise to debootstrap and then chroot in to create backports for different revisions
[01:16] <OrTigaS> what is this "pmount"?
[01:16] <kucinglaper> i have problem with USB hub, anyone has problem with USB hub?
[01:16] <OrTigaS> i cant upgrade
[01:17] <twb> pmount is a program that allows users to mount removable media.
[01:17] <qmf> can anyone help me with this?

[01:23] <axa-axa> Hi. Is it possible to make Nautilus to hide remain lines of file/directory name, if name is, for example, longer that two lines, like it is in Konqueror and Windows?
[01:23] <dequeued> I thought I uncommented the required lines in sources.list and ran apt-get update, but I still don't have access
[01:23] <mooey> brussel, i think community given documentation should go in /community, it allows others to edit it so i dont think it should be telling you the opposite :-)

[01:25] <frogzoo_> qmf: if you can't install fglrx from the repos, something is badly wrong
[01:25] <brussel> mooey, i'm confused, the wiki is where everybody can update it and is where it is currently. /community is where they are telling me to put it and that seems to be static.
[01:26] <Prometheum> Hello, I appear to have killed my taskbar. I can only view launchers and applets, and non of my other programs can use the taskbar. I accidentaly removed the barrier between the left side with the menus on it and the right side with the time and whatnot. How would I be able to fix it?
[01:26] <PhibreOptix> Prometheum: try pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[01:26] <mooey> brussel, are you logged in? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ -> this isn't static
[01:27] <Prometheum> PhibreOptix: its stayed with me for a few boots, restarting X doesn't do anything.
[01:27] <brussel> hmmm, ok, i'll check it out.
[01:27] <PhibreOptix> Prometheum: Ah ok then, well that about limits my knowledge xD
[01:27] <qmf> frogzoo_: i wanted the latest. but the repo ones give me the same(ish) problems
[01:27] <mooey> brussel, i hope you can sort it. thanks for contributing :-)
[01:27] <Prometheum> Would there be any way to bring it back to the defaults?
[01:28] <axa-axa> Hi. Is it possible to make Nautilus to hide remain lines of file/directory name, if name is, for example, longer that two lines, like it is in Konqueror and Windows?
[01:28] <brussel> mooey, why would they want to take it away from the obvious place, the wiki, where everybody instinctively knows they can change it?
[01:29] <brussel> i go to community and it looks like a mess and it's not even obvious i can sign in
[01:30] <mooey> brussel, i'm not sure. i can edit pages on wiki.ubuntu.com. i've got a suspicion it has something todo with signing the ubuntu code of conduct but i could be wrong?
[01:32] <brussel> mooey, again i'm confused. wiki.ubuntu.com is fine and is where i am writing the documentation and is the natural place in my mind to add user supplied documentation.
[01:33] <brussel> mooey, they however say: This document should be moved to the documentation wiki at https://help.ubuntu.com/community
[01:33] <mooey> brussel, i'm confuzzled to. what page are you editing?
[01:33] <Jowi> Prometheum, I would guess you cat get the defaults back by deleting /home/user/.gnome2/panel2.d (just a hunch)
[01:34] <brussel> mooey, reading the paste just now i see my error, there is some wiki somewhere else besides https://wiki.ubuntu.com/...
[01:35] <brussel> mooey, i'll poke around at https://help.ubuntu.com/community until i find a wiki there...
[01:35] <mooey> brussel, help.ubuntu.com/community is a wiki o_O
[01:36] <brussel> mooey, oh, silly me, didn't see wiki in it's url so assumed it was static.
[01:36] <frogzoo_> Prometheum: why not delete the taskbar & create a new one?
[01:36] <Dozornij> hi
[01:36] <mooey> brussel, ah :-)
[01:36] <Prometheum> frogzoo_: good idea, I'll try that now
[01:37] <Prometheum> and now I have no panals at all.
[01:37] <opetznick> how i can use mcrypt to encrypt a string?
[01:37] <Prometheum> new problem: I have no taskbars at all. How do I get them back?
[01:40] <emuFarmer> i've got a quick question, does anyone know if there are any compatibility problems with linux and trackball mice?
[01:41] <cyphase> anyone else tried VirtualBox? how is it?
[01:41] <Optimus> hey all
[01:43] <Optimus> Anyone talkin'?
[01:43] <nikin> hey Optimus
[01:43] <cyberix> What do I need to get a working Ubuntu system? ubuntu-minimal, linux-image-generic and their dependencies. Something else?
[01:43] <Jowi> Optimus, everyone is busy. all 917 of us :)
[01:44] <nikin> Jowi : and what are we doing?
[01:44] <Optimus> Cyberix, the LiveCD is all you need
[01:44] <cyberix> Optimus: Lol
[01:44] <Jowi> cyberix, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems is about the minimal for ubuntu running Xorg
[01:44] <cyberix> Optimus: I'm trying to bootstrap Ubuntu from a minimal Debian system.
[01:44] <nikin> cyberix: for what?
[01:45] <Prometheum> How can I restore my default menubar and taskbar?
[01:45] <cyberix> I'm doing this because Ubuntu doesn't support floppy installation.
[01:45] <frogzoo_> Prometheum: tried 'gnome-panel' from terminal?
[01:45] <Jowi> Prometheum, did you try to remove ~/.gnome2/panel2.d ?
[01:45] <Asturia> can anyone help me in setting up dansguardian?
[01:46] <Optimus> cyberix, do you have a CD drive and the bios simply won't allow bootup?
[01:46] <Prometheum> frogzoo_: no, I haven't and Jowi, what exactly would that do?
[01:46] <cyberix> Optimus: No. I don't have a cd-drive.
[01:46] <shodanjr_gr> hey guys, i wana set up my VSFTPD server to be able to ftp to my /var/www directory. Any ideas???
[01:46] <Jowi> Prometheum, delete the panel settings hopefully so you will get the default panel(s) back. havent tried it so not sure if it works
[01:47] <Jowi> Prometheum, unfortunatley gnome has got gconf-editor (bleurgh)
[01:47] <Prometheum> so can I get to the defaults?
[01:47] <cyberix> Optimus: I have a pcmcia-cd-drive that often fails reading. I can't boot from it, but reading failures during installation are unacceptable so I see no reason in working towards that.
[01:47] <Jowi> Prometheum, hopefully. try it.
[01:48] <Optimus> Cyberix, I agree
[01:48] <Optimus> Cyberix, gimme a sec, I think I may have found a site with the howtos of bootstrapping ubuntu
[01:49] <guerrillawon> How would I find the location of a connected fat32 slave harddrive and mount it?
[01:49] <guerrillawon> I'm guessing in dev but not sure where in it.
[01:49] <Prometheum> Jowi: where would I find the right settings in gconf-editor?
[01:50] <Optimus> Gah -- I am supposedly on 3Mbps DSL and I am getting about 1.6kpbs downstream!
[01:50] <Jowi> Prometheum, no idea. apps\panel maybe. but that is hard to edit yourself. better see if removing ~/.gnome2/panel2.d works
[01:51] <Optimus> Cyberix, you are using edgy, correct?
[01:51] <cyberix> Sarge -> Edgy
[01:52] <Prometheum> thats a directory, do it anyway?
[01:53] <Prometheum> okay just did it, now what?
[01:53] <Optimus> Well I found several threads on ubuntuforums, but it looks like almost everyone ends up with an error 127
[01:53] <Jowi> Prometheum, yep. or simply move it "mv panel2.d panel2.bak"
[01:53] <Jowi> Prometheum, restart gnome
[01:53] <Optimus> Cyberix --> http://ubuntuforums.org/tags/index.php/bootstrap/
[01:53] <cyberix> Thanks
[01:53] <Prometheum> okay
[01:54] <Optimus> Cyberix, this may also give you an idea --https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/FromKnoppix
[01:54] <Optimus> Though that is from Knoppix, ergo a CD
[01:55] <Prometheum> nothing still
[01:55] <Optimus> Cyberix, does the laptop have a floppy drive?
[01:56] <cyberix> Optimus: Yes. Thats how I installed Sarge.
[01:56] <qmf> is there a way to sort of 'cleanse' my ubuntu install without reinstalling it all? like, remove everything i've installed/changed
[01:56] <xopher> How can I switch from the totem firefox plugin to mozilla-mplayer? When I try to remove the totem one, synaptic wants to remove ubuntu-desktop also..
[01:56] <Optimus> Hrmmm, you might be able to use a floppy dist ( i.e. an entire distro on a single floppy) and debootstrap ubuntu from that using the instructions from Knoppix
[01:56] <higiraven> my repos dont work
[01:57] <timo> what you mean
[01:57] <Jowi> Prometheum, how about starting a new panel "gnome-panel" and rightclick and add what you need?
[01:57] <johns^> qmf: xopher ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage
[01:57] <cyberix> Optimus: I'm currently trying http://linux.simple.be/debian/floppy && http://ruinst.net.ru/ner/debian2ubuntu.html
[01:57] <johns^> you can remove that without a problem
[01:58] <xopher> johns^, oh yeah.. sorry  and thanks
[01:58] <Prometheum> Jowi: that doesn't return it to the defaults. THere are alot of differences, including no system tray for programs to live in.
[01:58] <johns^> xopher: doesn't matter, i took a deep breath before I removed ubuntu-desktop the first time :)
[01:58] <Jowi> Prometheum, add a tray :)
[01:59] <Prometheum> how?
[02:00] <Jowi> Prometheum, rightclick on the panel -> add to panel -> drag notification area to the panel
[02:00] <guerrillawon> Can anyone help me mount an ntfs harddrive?

[03:00] <KenSentMe> !helpme
[03:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:00] <frogzoo_> xopher: you should already have gnome-applets installed, so now add cpufreq-applet to the taskbar - it works best if you 'sudo chmod /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector'
[03:00] <bayziders> KenSentMe it should be y.desktop

[03:02] <shc79> gnome desktop
[03:02] <KenSentMe> bayziders: go to the folder where the files is in. Then type sudo mv y and then the tab, it will autocomplete the filename (or press it twice if there are more files that start with y)
[03:02] <frogzoo_> xopher: nope - you just need a way to talk to cpufreqd
[03:03] <xopher> Ok. What about the screen dimming then?

[03:09] <roxlu> does somebody knows a good "http" request analyzer? (so I can see the reqeusts being made?)
[03:09] <KenSentMe> bayziders: can you use auto completion with tab?
[03:09] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: OK, so you have a tab called Options
[03:09] <najjstroem0050> no
[03:09] <najjstroem0050> Playback, Capture , Switches
[03:10] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: In Edit->Preferences, is there a Mic Select check box in the list?
[03:10] <bayziders> KenSentMe I dont know what that is and i got this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1939/
[03:10] <I-kido> !help
[03:10] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:10] <najjstroem0050> all box are marked
[03:10] <o0splitpaw0o> !opengl
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:11] <frogzoo_> o0splitpaw0o: /msg ubotu works just as well
[03:11] <KenSentMe> bulmer, ali: i think it should be wc -l
[03:11] <bic> any suggestion on what to do when i cant get the iamge to burn without errors?
[03:11] <KenSentMe> bayziders: i see your error
[03:11] <bic> should i try different burning software? im using nero
[03:11] <frogzoo_> bic: burn at a slower speed
[03:11] <bic> i did
[03:11] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: For me, at first Mic Select was not checked.  When I checked it, an Options tab was created next to Switches.  This tab lets me choose Mic1 or Mic2.  I had to choose Mic2; it had been on Mic1.
[03:11] <bic> i went from 24 to 8
[03:11] <bic> both had errors
[03:12] <KenSentMe> bayziders: can you press the Tab button on your keyboard?
[03:12] <bic> two different images
[03:12] <bayziders> yes
[03:12] <najjstroem0050> :S
[03:12] <Balsamic_Chicken> How do i install LaTex, is it in the repos? i did a search in synaptic, returned a gazillion results but none is the stand alone latex, help pls, ty
[03:12] <frogzoo_> bic: check the md5sum of the image you're trying to burn
[03:12] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: something like tetex-base, tetex-extras, maybe some more.
[03:13] <KenSentMe> bayziders: if you type the first letter of a filename, Tab fills in the rest of the filename. So hit Tab after sudo mv Y [tab] 
[03:13] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt is tetex a latex replacement?
[03:13] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: It is an implementation to tex and latex.
[03:13] <EnsignRedshirt> s/to/of/
 what program did u test you mic in?
[03:13] <gandalfcome> I use fglrx on ubuntu edgy. I have my xorg configured for big desktop. The login screen is in big desktop mode but when gnome starts the external lcd goes to distorted clone(i have a laptop ati x700 card). thanks for help
[03:14] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: Audacity.
[03:14] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt what's s/to/of/ mean, sorry kinda new, and also how do i start tetex, it seems installed already
[03:14] <bayziders> KenSentMe : ok it moved it now why isnt it on my menu?
[03:14] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: Sorry, that is short-hand for: change "to" to "of" in my previous message.
 where did u get it?
[03:15] <KenSentMe> bayziders: maybe you need to restart X by hitting ctrl+alt+backspace or reboot
[03:15] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: Applications ->Sound&Video -> Audacity
[03:15] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt o thx
[03:15] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt btw how do i start tetex?
 do you got ubuntu?
[03:15] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: Yes, I am using Dapper (6.06)
[03:15] <o0splitpaw0o> anyone know a command to reassociate programs that need open gl to find the proper open gx. I dud a apt-get dist upgrade, but now anythign associated that needs opengl to glx to work, fails.
[03:16] <KenSentMe> gandalfcome: maybe you can check this forum topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 . There is good support there if you have problems
[03:16] <robbo> Do you know any portscanner for Ubuntu please?...
[03:16] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: The tetex package(s) will give you the latex command (among others)
[03:16] <KenSentMe> bayziders: did it work?
[03:16] <bayziders> no
[03:16] <Tomcat_> robbo: nmap
[03:16] <frogzoo_> robbo: the one & only nmap
[03:17] <KenSentMe> bayziders: check if the options in the file are set right
[03:17] <bayziders> KenSentMe im pretty sure they are it works when i click on it but it is not in the menu
[03:18] <EnsignRedshirt> najjstroem0050: I forgot... audacity is not installed in ubuntu dapper by default. You have to install it from the universe repository.
[03:18] <KenSentMe> bayziders: why does it have to be through command line?
[03:18] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt how do i use it tho, i never used latex b4 =)
[03:18] <Bnirkow> hello
[03:18] <gili> i am having a problem with a process that seems to takeover my ALSA drivers i think....its a zombie process called "play" cant seem to get rid of it
[03:18] <gili> anyone?
 i did, but i get a error when i start it
[03:18] <malachi_> Ack, disconnected.
[03:18] <rogue780> is there a way to move recursively? I have a directory tree and I want to move all .mp3 files out of it to another directory
[03:19] <Bnirkow> how looks correct menu.lst for edgy grub ??
[03:19] <najjstroem0050> A error corrupted when started in/out respository
[03:19] <KenSentMe> rogue780: mv -R ?
[03:19] <bayziders> KenSentMe becuase I can not graphicly do it on other peoples computers over the internet
[03:19] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: latex is a command.  You edit your file, say myfile.tex, and give to latex.  In a terminal, you would say: latex myfile.tex
[03:19] <riotkittie> gili: did you try kill with a -9 ?
[03:19] <tuskernini> KenSentMe, if you are talking about installing stuff, it does not have to be commandline
[03:19] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: google for "latex guide" or "latex tutorial", you'll find lots.
[03:19] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt cool thx alot
[03:20] <gili> riotkittie: elaborate...? on the command line
[03:20] <tuskernini> KenSentMe, i did not read all the comments... excuse me
[03:20] <riotkittie> the command line is your friend. learn it. love it. bake it cookies.
[03:20] <KenSentMe> bayziders: but maybe you could first try doing it through the menu and look what the file looks like
[03:20] <KenSentMe> tuskernini: no problem
[03:20] <o0splitpaw0o> anyone know how to resync any applications that need opengl. I used apt-get dist upgrade and now all my programs that need open gl can execute. because they mention "they can't find an apropriate gl to handle it. I tried reinstalling the apps to have it possibly download some missing package I don't have anymore. but no go.
[03:20] <bayziders> KenSentMe: ok so how do i do that
[03:20] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: By the way, kile is a nice latex editor, and it lets you run latex on your file by clicking on a button.
[03:20] <riotkittie> gili: kill -9 PID     ... if you dont know teh PID, ... ps ax | grep play
[03:21] <gili> ok
[03:21] <gili> thanks
[03:21] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: I use kile almost all the time when I work on latex files.
[03:21] <gili> trying now
[03:21] <KenSentMe> bayziders: through System - Preferences - Menu-something (i don't use english ubuntu)
[03:21] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt nice, is it in the repos?
[03:21] <tuskernini> KenSentMe, menu layout
[03:21] <KenSentMe> tuskernini: ok, ty
[03:21] <bayziders> its menu and toolbars and ok im there what now
[03:22] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: Yes.  It is designed for KDE, but it works fine in gnome, too.  (When you install the package, a whole lot of other kde libraries will also be installed.)
[03:22] <KenSentMe> bayziders: please try some things yourself. There's a add item button on the right
[03:22] <KenSentMe> bayziders: are you on edgy or dapper?
[03:22] <bayziders> dapper
[03:22] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt cool thx so much =)
[03:23] <bayziders> i dont see a add button
[03:23] <KenSentMe> bayziders: then go to a folder and right click to add an item
[03:23] <gili> riotkittie: what does the -9 do
[03:23] <gili> for kill
[03:24] <Bnirkow> how looks correct menu.lst for edgy grub ??
[03:24] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt would u happen to know if octave (matlab like) have a gui in kubuntu? i couldn't find one in the repos, and i'm not sure if i should get yaog (yet another octave gui)
[03:24] <frogzoo_> gili: man kill
[03:24] <rogue780> KenSentMe, -R is not valid with mv. already tried it
[03:24] <bulmer> gili: type   kill -l   and it will list all the kill signals
[03:24] <riotkittie> gili: i believe 9 makes it so that the signal cant be blocked
[03:24] <gili> ok i got that part
[03:24] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: I know what octave is, but I never use it.  I have matlab, and if I don't use matlab, I use scilab.
[03:25] <KenSentMe> rogue780: isn't a mv command always recursivly ( you can't move a folder without moving subfolders)
[03:25] <gili> when i list ps -A i get a PID for a process called PLAY which is in brackets states as defunct
[03:25] <gili> when i kill this process nothing happens
[03:25] <rogue780> I don't need to move the folders...just the files out of them
[03:25] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt can i interconvert between scilab code and matlab code pretty smoothly? and also i have a student version of windows matlab, can that be installed on kubuntu? thx alot
[03:25] <bulmer> gili: those are Zombies, you cant really removed them manually
[03:26] <rogue780> KenSentMe, my last was to you
[03:26] <o0splitpaw0o> ok i'll wait
[03:26] <gili> right
[03:26] <gili> so could a zombie process lock up my sound system
[03:26] <gili> ?
[03:26] <bayziders> Ok i cna do it graphicly now i need to do it through the terminal in a shell script
[03:26] <bulmer> if it was related to it, if you run out of process id's
[03:26] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: scilab and matlab are close, but not the same.  Somewhere in the scilab docs or web page there is a conversion guide.
[03:27] <KenSentMe> rogue780: move * then, or do you want the files in subfolders to be moved too, without the subfolders itself?
[03:27] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt cool thx
[03:27] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: I use the linux version of matlab.
[03:27] <gili> ok so if i have a zombie process it cannot be halted at all.....? onbly reboot
[03:27] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt do u know where i could get a copy?
[03:27] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt buy it online?
[03:28] <bulmer> gili: zombies are dead process, they are just lingering in the process table taking up resources
[03:28] <rogue780> KenSentMe, the files in the subfolders need to be moved...and there are over 500 subdirectories
[03:28] <bulmer> so yah reboot
[03:28] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: Matlab? Yup, you have to buy it from mathworks.
[03:28] <rogue780> KenSentMe, dont need the subfolders
[03:28] <CyTG> looking for a sata controller (pci 32bit/33mhz) can you recommend something ?
[03:28] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt cool that sucks =)
[03:29] <bulmer> rogue780 see those folks at bash channel, very helpful people on scripting to remove such recursive directories (not folders in linux)
[03:29] <gili> bulmer: ok thanks....but could such a dead process be halting my sound system,,,, ihave no sound now and Audacious is claiming another program/resource is using sound....i took an educated guess that since this process is called Play"
[03:29] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: matlab is more extensive, more widely used, and more polished than scilab, but for many things, scilab is just as good.  And scilab is free.
[03:29] <_dellfan_> rogue780: find <folder with mp3s> -name '*mp3' -exec mv {} <another folder>/ \;
[03:29] <gili> it was called by some audio dev
[03:30] <rogue780> bulmer, _dellfan_,  thanks
[03:30] <o0splitpaw0o> anyone know how to resync any applications that need opengl. I used apt-get dist upgrade and now all my programs that need open gl can execute. because they mention "they can't find an apropriate gl to handle it. I tried reinstalling the apps to have it possibly download some missing package I don't have anymore. but no go.
[03:30] <bulmer> gili: i dont know, it could be one of those processes that have not released the resource used for sounds..
[03:30] <gili> ok thanks
[03:30] <o0splitpaw0o> I mean they can't
[03:30] <gili> much appreciated
[03:30] <Shadowpillar_> rogue780: and whatever you do, dont use the greater than or less than symbols :P
[03:30] <bulmer> np
[03:30] <gili> riotkittie: thanks
[03:30] <rogue780> Shadowpillar_, ?
[03:31] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt cool =)
[03:31] <bulmer> rogue780: he meant the redirections  > and  <
[03:31] <frogzoo_> gili: do you have a file /etc/asound.conf ?
[03:31] <P3nnywise> Any good scree capturing programs?
[03:31] <bulmer> P3nnywise: try xli
[03:31] <gili> frogzoo: i believe so one sec
[03:31] <rogue780> bulmer, I'm kind fo nobish...not sure what those do...
[03:32] <EnsignRedshirt> I've heard scree capturing is a dangerous sport.
[03:32] <P3nnywise> bulmer, ok
[03:32] <_dellfan_> rogue780: dont type the folder names anclosed in <>
[03:32] <P3nnywise> btw, does anyone in here know how to setup your wpa_supplicant?
[03:32] <_dellfan_> rogue780: for example: find MP3s -name '*mp3' -exec mv {} newMP3s/ \;

[03:33] <jochen> can someone give me some information about usb drivers
[03:33] <gili> frogzoo: actually i dont...
[03:33] <gili> no asound.conf in the etc dir
[03:33] <gili> should it be somewhere else?
[03:33] <frogzoo_> gili: that's a good thing, it can stop sound working
[03:33] <gili> ok
[03:34] <Gasten> Hi. I'm trying to get internet to work with linux on my laptop. I'm not sure that it supports linux, nor am I sure if I'm to bad to configure my router right. It's D-Link with WLan.
[03:34] <bottazzo> well.. i remove apache files from my ubuntu.. and now i reinstall it with apt-get .. but when i try apache start.. it says that it did not find /usr/lib/apache2/files ...
[03:34] <bottazzo> how can i reinstall /usr/lib/apache2 files?
[03:34] <gili> i am pretty sure its this evil-zombie process called "play" will look it up...!!
[03:34] <bulmer> jochen: i can point you to a device driver book, i dont know myself how to write usb drivers.. http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/
[03:35] <bottazzo> apt-get install apache 2 does not install /usr/lib/apache2 files =[ .. only /etc/apache2 files
[03:35] <frogzoo_> gili: reboot & see
[03:35] <jochen> bulmer: cheers, I will look that up
[03:36] <bulmer> bottazzo: look at the guts of the "apache start" script and see how it calls the apache and what env variables it uses to look those files up
[03:36] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt i just downloaded freemat.tar.gz and extracted it, could u tell me how to install it?
[03:36] <KenSentMe> bottazzo: i presume you type apt-get install apache2 instead of apache 2?

[03:39] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt thx alot for the great tips =)
[03:40] <EnsignRedshirt> Balsamic_Chicken: freemat looks interesting, I'll have to try it some time (but not now).  They have an rpm for Fedora Core 6; too bad they don't have a deb for debian/ubuntu.
[03:40] <Gasten> Hi. I'm trying to get internet to work with linux on my laptop. I'm not sure that it supports linux, nor am I sure if I'm to bad to configure my router right. It's D-Link with WLan. Can I do anything about this? Can I confirm that I can't do anything?
[03:40] <Opermax> frogzoo: there is no ubuntu wifi channel!

[03:41] <EnsignRedshirt> Ciao, y'all.
[03:41] <Balsamic_Chicken> EnsignRedshirt :-)
[03:41] <Balsamic_Chicken> bye
[03:41] <P3nnywise> bulmer, i have that but it can only take photos ;/
[03:41] <trygve-u> KenSentMe: Thank you
[03:41] <Gasten> Opermax, I've heard that some routers doesn't work with Linux. I want to make sure that I got one of those...
[03:41] <JosefK> frogzoo_: that's exactly what I want :) thanks
[03:41] <Opermax> i don't know about routers, but it's the WLAN-Card in your laptop that has to work, isn't it?
[03:42] <riotkittie> Gasten: i'm useless when it comes to routers. you may want to try searching the forums with your router model as a keyword. chances are, there's a post regarding it with info ginev step by step
[03:42] <bulmer> P3nnywise: do System->Take Screenshot, select Other in Save in folder and press ctrl-l.
[03:42] <odla> sometimes GDM fails to start and GNOME fails to shutdown with me killing X ... should i file a bug report?
[03:43] <Gasten> Opermax, Yeah, that migth be it, too.
[03:43] <yamama> hello
[03:43] <Gasten> riotkittie, Thanks
[03:43] <Asturia> any squid guru here?
[03:43] <Opermax> because the router doesn't care as long the signals form your WLAN are crrect
[03:43] <yamama> what is the different between Xubuntu and ubuntu ???
[03:43] <P3nnywise> bulmer, i dont have 'take screenshot' in system
[03:43] <_james> how to unzip zip.gz file?
[03:43] <bulmer> Opermax: what ever nic card you have on your laptop has to be working first
[03:44] <odla> yamama: xu = xfce ub = gnome
[03:44] <Gasten> yamama, Interface, how ou do stuff, performance, etc.
[03:44] <KenSentMe> !xubuntu | yamama
[03:44] <ubotu> yamama: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[03:44] <HymnToLife> _james, gunzip it first to get a regular zip, and then unzip
[03:44] <_james> whats the command to unzip  "zip.gz" file?
[03:44] <_james> ok
[03:44] <Balsamic_Chicken>  in installing freemat (free matlab), it said there are two post-build steps i must perform, which adds freemat_path environment variable to my startup files that includes /home/username/share/FreeMat/MFiles, totally lost =) what does this mean, and where's my startup files, and how do i follow this instruction, thx so much =)
[03:44] <bulmer> P3nnywise: thats a different linux..
[03:44] <yamama> i want to download xubuntu how ??
[03:44] <Gasten> Opermax, Ah..
[03:44] <riotkittie> alright. type iwconfig ... is the wireless card listed ?
[03:44] <KenSentMe> yamama: go to xubuntu.org
[03:45] <P3nnywise> bulmer, lol :p any other screen capturing programs?
[03:45] <KenSentMe> _james: gunzip file.gz
[03:45] <riotkittie> yamama: do you have ubuntu at the moment?
[03:45] <bulmer> P3nnywise: am not using those kind of apps much..sorry
[03:45] <yamama> yes
[03:45] <riotkittie> yamama: from the command line, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop                ... or search for it in the package manager of your choice
[03:46] <riotkittie> once you install, you can choose xfce from the session menu at login.
[03:47] <_james> i downloaded a theme for gnome.. now how can i install the theme?

[03:48] <Shane-S> I am using 6.10 on a Dell PowerEdge 860
[03:48] <P3nnywise> can someone recommend a good screen capturing program?
[03:49] <jackie> hello
[03:49] <bulmer> Shane-S: is your apache working okay though?
[03:49] <gandalfcome> KenSentMe: I searched the forums already, but thanks for the hint
[03:49] <riotkittie> yamama: yes
[03:49] <Shane-S> seems to yes, I take it I should address the mod-rewite with them?
[03:49] <Balsamic_Chicken> where do i get qt4? it's required by freemat (matlab like program)
[03:49] <KenSentMe> gandalfcome: the person who set up the topic responds pretty fast to answers, so you could try it
[03:49] <roxlu> does someone knows how to show the 'raw' data in the "Packet Bytes window" so without the hex codes in Wireshark?
[03:50] <Azul> Balsamic_Chicken, try synaptic
[03:50] <Shane-S> just i copied the .htaccess from one apache server to another, yet it fails, didn't know if there is something I am missing that is specific to Ubuntu's Apache setup
[03:50] <Balsamic_Chicken> Azul i did, i don't know which one is qt4 hehe, it gave me a bunch of stuff
[03:50] <KenSentMe> Shane-S: is the mod_rewrite file in /etc/apacha2/mods-enabled?
[03:50] <Nooneimportant> noob here, just wondering does ubuntu really save battery life on laptops?
[03:50] <bulmer> Shane-S: mod_rewrite is a module isnt it? see if its included ...look at your apache.conf file
[03:50] <frogzoo_> P3nnywise: perhaps of interest: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/how-to-create-a-screencast-in-ubuntu/
[03:50] <najjstroem0050> I found a problem and i need help, My sound works on the backside of the computer but not my mic, but my mic work on the front side but not my sound!!!!!!
[03:51] <gandalfcome> KenSentMe: sorry I just saw that you mentioned the ubuntu forums but not the specific thread. well as it turns out I was speaking to this guy on AIM 2 days ago and he couldnt help me
[03:51] <emss> does the builtin nautilus cd writer blank the cd before writing?
[03:51] <emss> or does it use sessions?
[03:51] <Shane-S> as per the http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=9aa6bd176d9fb39c926ba9812171c667&p=535019&postcount=10 post I placed it in the mods-enabled folder and did the other recommended changes, will re-check to confirm
[03:51] <Jon335> how do I make Ubuntu turn the backlight of my LCD off after a certain amount of time?
[03:51] <Balsamic_Chicken> Azul all synaptic gave was a bunch of libarary like files that had the phrase qt4 in it =(
[03:51] <bayziders> What is a very cheap around 15gb laptop that can run ubuntu well and has a touch mouse that one or any of you guys would recomend?
[03:51] <KenSentMe> gandalfcome: hmm, too bad then. I run big desktop without problems
[03:51] <Azul> Balsamic_Chicken, weird, i got only results showing qt4 and qt4 libraries
[03:51] <incorrect> im trying to install sun-java5 on dapper, but i can't figure out why its not in my pkg list
[03:52] <Azul> Balsamic_Chicken, search qt4
[03:52] <gandalfcome> KenSentMe: do you have a laptop or desktop pc
[03:52] <KenSentMe> !jave | incorrect
[03:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jave - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:52] <KenSentMe> gandalfcome: desktop
[03:52] <incorrect> !java
[03:52] <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
[03:52] <frogzoo_> incorrect: iirc sun-java5 is edgy
[03:52] <Azul> incorrect, you can't find java in the repositories.. it's not free
[03:52] <xopher> Im trying to enable freq.scaling on my Celeron M CPU, but for some reason dont have this dir: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq ? And I cant load acpi-cpufreq module either, complains about device not found.
[03:52] <yamama> riotkitti :when i enter apt-get install xubunto-desktop i see:
[03:52] <yamama> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:52] <IdleOne> frogzoo_: dapper also
[03:53] <gandalfcome> KenSentMe: well that doesnt help me that much, but thanks again for listening ;-)
[03:53] <bulmer> incorrect: perhaps dapper was made before Sun made java a gpl 2 available
[03:53] <frogzoo_> IdleOne: kk
[03:53] <IdleOne> Azul: java5 is in repos
[03:53] <incorrect> thats all very well and good, but i have multiverse
[03:53] <KenSentMe> gandalfcome: :)
[03:53] <Shane-S> here is my ls of mods-enabled: cgi.load  php5.conf  php5.load  rewrite.load  userdir.conf  userdir.load
[03:53] <incorrect> and i don't have X
[03:53] <Balsamic_Chicken> Azul cool
[03:53] <CThoma> hi @all
[03:53] <najjstroem0050> I found a problem and i need help, My sound works on the backside of the computer but not my mic, but my mic work on the front side but not my sound!!!!!!
[03:53] <CThoma> can someone help me with Ubuntu Server 6.10?
[03:54] <frogzoo_> najjstroem0050: sounds like your comps wiring
[03:54] <Azul> CThoma, no one knows until you ask
[03:54] <KenSentMe> Shane-S: did you restart apache with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[03:54] <najjstroem0050> frigzoo_ what you mean :P
[03:54] <Azul> najjstroem0050, yeah, check your wiring
[03:54] <Asturia> where are the passwords located for all the users configurated on an ubuntu system?
[03:54] <CThoma> well, i cant get a inet connection via DSL modem
[03:54] <frogzoo_> CThoma: can you ping localhost?
[03:54] <bulmer> Shane-S  you need to address your responses to the nick you're referring to, otherwise it'll get lost or ignored
[03:54] <Shane-S> yes, and had an erro about the servername, so I even edited apache2.conf and Added ServerName www.mydomain.com
[03:55] <KenSentMe> Shane-S: and then restarted again?
[03:55] <CThoma> frogzoo:yes i can
[03:55] <frogzoo_> CThoma: kk, how do you connect, through a dsl router, or a modem?
[03:55] <Shane-S> KenSentMe:  Yes, resolved any warnings/errors it had and loaded, it can view the site..but
[03:55] <bulmer> Asturia: /etc/passwd used by /etc/shadow
[03:55] <CThoma> a normal modem
[03:56] <CThoma> got it from my provider.
[03:56] <Shane-S> KenSentMe: when I load the mod-rewrite pages they appear without being "re-written"
[03:56] <frogzoo_> CThoma: have you configure /etc/network/interfaces for dhcp?
[03:56] <Jon335> how do I make Ubuntu turn the backlight of my LCD off after a certain amount of time?
[03:56] <KenSentMe> Shane-S: maybe there are some errors in /var/log/apache2/error.log
[03:56] <frogzoo_> Jon335: sys -> prefs -> power
[03:56] <Jon335> frogzoo_, thanks!
[03:57] <CThoma> yes i enabled DHCP
[03:57] <Shane-S> let me check , brb
[03:57] <Jon335> frogzoo_, don't see anything there
[03:57] <frogzoo_> Jon335: also check screensaver preferences
[03:57] <Jon335> frogzoo_, I've looked in both
[03:57] <speyer> im connected to my other windows machine via smb and i would like to be able to play the divx files any idea why i cannot play them ?
[03:57] <frogzoo_> Jon335: edgy?
[03:57] <ajopaul_> have two sound cards, how do i make one of the default? and am not on gnome
[03:57] <Jon335> frogzoo_, yes
[03:57] <frogzoo_> Jon335: "put display to sleep..." under ac & battery
[03:58] <Jon335> frogzoo_, hmm, that's set but it doesn't work. the command 'xset dpms force off' does what I want it to do
[03:59] <CThoma> How can i use gnome oder kde on ubuntu server?
[03:59] <frogzoo_> Jon335: in screensaver, set "consider computer idle when inactive for.."
[03:59] <pcollaog> helo!
[03:59] <Shane-S> KenSentMe: Nope, the errors are file not found errors, because the path is not being re-written, I take it I should ask ##apache about my rule?
[04:00] <Jon335> frogzoo_, that's set too, it just gives a blank screen with the backlight still on
[04:00] <pcollaog> i need a little help with ubuntu feisty... doesn't init :(
[04:00] <Shane-S> I just don't understand why it would not work, as my windows box is running apache 2 as well
[04:00] <Lorian> Hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu or my parents PC using the Windows based installer that was just released, but when I try to boot into it it stays on the screen with the Ubuntu logo for a few minutes before throughing me to a terminal saying that it can't access tty because job control is turned off...
[04:00] <Jon335> frogzoo_, wheras 'xset dpms force off' actually does it
[04:00] <frogzoo_> CThoma: try 'sudo ifup eth0'
[04:00] <KenSentMe> Shane-S: maybe you'd better check ##apache indeed
[04:00] <bulmer> Jon335: I dont own a laptop, but something about sleep.sh using vbetool dpms.. use find sleep.sh on your ubuntu
[04:01] <CThoma> Frogzoo_: Ok, eth0 is up and running, its my only NIC installed
[04:01] <Jon335> bulmer, it isn't a laptop
[04:01] <Shane-S> ty for trying to help!
[04:01] <plantperson> Should I install all these updates?
[04:01] <frogzoo_> Jon335: also select under general "dim panel when idle"
[04:01] <Lorian> Anyone?
[04:01] <bulmer> Jon335: anyhow, maybe that script may help you, look insdie the guts of it
[04:01] <plantperson> There's 216 of them,  on Dapper
[04:01] <Jon335> frogzoo_, don't see that option
[04:02] <frogzoo_> Lorian: is this feisty you're trying to install?
[04:02] <Lorian> Edgy
[04:02] <frogzoo_> Jon335: power -> general
[04:02] <Jon335> frogzoo_, that option isn't there
[04:03] <CThoma> could squid be the problem?
[04:04] <krychek> hi, i tried easyubuntu.. it was working fine, but after i installed a few things it just doesnt work anymore, i try to install something but it just hangs
[04:04] <pcollaog> my ubuntu feisty doesn't start... can't find volumeid with kernel 2.6.20-5.7
[04:04] <Reliant> I've got a really strange problem. My harddrive spontaneously became read-only
[04:05] <pcollaog> i think ... the problem should be in initrd.img-2.6.20-5-generic
[04:05] <M_Fatih> hi
[04:05] <Jon335> frogzoo_ and bulmer, '/usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank' does the trick, any ideas how to use it?
[04:05] <PsychoChicken> Rellant: is it a Linux fs or a windows partition?
[04:05] <M_Fatih> how can i change my partition label? i have a external disk and disk has 2 partition, 1 of fat32 and other ext3.. how can i change labels?
[04:05] <Reliant> Linux (Ubuntu), reiser
[04:06] <Reliant> I noticed the problem when MySQL started giving me error 30 (can't write to DB), and I can't edit any files, everything gets opened as read-only. I don't want to reboot in case the box doesn't come up until I know what's going on
[04:06] <theflyingfool> how do i open a rar file
[04:06] <Reliant> I have available disk space, that's not the problem
[04:06] <Lorian> install unrar
[04:06] <frogzoo_> pcollaog: feisty this way -> #ubuntu+1
[04:06] <frogzoo_> M_Fatih: tune2fs
[04:07] <booster> ubuntu.pl
[04:07] <Lorian> Then unrar e [filename] 
[04:07] <PsychoChicken> Rellant: probably can't help you then. had a similar issue once with a vfat system and it turned out the driver switches to read-only if it detects an error. might be worth fscking it though.
[04:07] <ajopaul_> theflyingfool, sudo apt-get install unrar
[04:07] <booster> oops
[04:07] <theflyingfool> ajopaul_: thnkx
[04:07] <CThoma> Can someone tell me how to install Gnome or KDE on Ubuntu Server 6.10? *please ;)*
[04:07] <frogzoo_> CThoma: if eth0 is up, does ifconfig show you with an internet ip?
[04:07] <Reliant> Well, one reason I came in here, when I do df, I notice there's a /proc/bus/usb with stats matching /dev/hda2. Is that normal?
[04:08] <CThoma> Frogzoo_:No it doesn't
[04:09] <frogzoo_> CThoma: are you supposed to connect with pppoe ?
[04:09] <Reliant> procbususb            37982564  34747260   1305900  97% /proc/bus/usb
[04:09] <b52laptop> hello
[04:09] <b52laptop> is it possible to install python2.4.3
[04:09] <Reliant> it's the same size as my / partition
[04:09] <b52laptop> apt-cache search tell me just that there is python2.4

[04:25] <ox> I was playing with Scribes(editor) and it froze my gnome panel, is there a way to fix it without rebooting?
[04:25] <Jowi> Reliant, haven't seen this before. normally procbususb would not show up in df
[04:25] <jak1> I hadn't ever build my own Makefile - just use some one else made of
[04:25] <Shizlanski> ok, so can linux read and wirte fat32 drives that are shared with windows?
[04:25] <frogzoo_> Trist_an: it's called google
[04:25] <bulmer> garvin  type this on a command line tab twice  it should show all the commands
[04:25] <pty> ox: killall gnome-panel
[04:26] <Jowi> Reliant, does procbususb show up in /etc/fstab?
[04:26] <ox> pty thanks!

[04:26] <Reliant> Jowi, yeah, I noticed it around when I upgraded Ubuntu to the latest stable a few weeks ago, but at the same time, I transferred the harddrive into a new machine
[04:26] <frogzoo_> Shizlanski: very straightforward
[04:26] <jak1> and now I've to build such of Makefile that can run several other Makefiles which follows their own build rules or uses the global rules

[04:26] <ubotu> Shizlanski: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:26] <pty> najjstroem0050: sorry whats happening?  do you have more than one set of speakers?
[04:26] <jak1> this kind of Makefile is one kind Universal Makefile
[04:26] <jak1> can anyone help me?
[04:26] <Reliant> Jowi, no, but it uses UUID for my / partition and my swap partition
[04:27] <Shizlanski> ok nvm

[04:28] <frogzoo_> Byan: drag into theme manager
[04:28] <Jowi> Reliant, i have no idea what cause this :-/
[04:29] <pty> najjstroem0050: if you look in Desktop -> Preferences -> Multimedia Systems Selector
[04:29] <Jowi> Reliant, can you pastebin fstab just for a quick look
[04:29] <Reliant> well, if you look at the mount list, you'll see / is mounted ro with errors, that's the one I'm trying to solve, and this procusbbus is one thing I'm looking at as a possible cause of that problem
[04:29] <jak1> bulmer: where I can download it?
[04:29] <Shizlanski> shud i use ext2 or ext3 filesystem?
[04:29] <Reliant> Jowi, already ahead of you, it's there now

[04:29] <najjstroem0050> pty 1 sec
[04:30] <Shizlanski> is there a way to change my root partition to ext3 if its alredy ext2 (without losing data)
[04:30] <Byan> frogzoo_: says file format is invalid..
[04:30] <erUSUL> Shizlanski: ext2 is ancient only usefull for floppies an maybe a small /boot partition
[04:30] <najjstroem0050> pty how do get to Preference in desktop?
[04:30] <pty> najjstroem0050: should be on the menu at the top
[04:30] <najjstroem0050> Applications, placec and system pty
[04:30] <najjstroem0050> only them i got
[04:31] <Shizlanski> i got ubuntu on ext2 ( a small partition) and i just added another hdd which im makin ext3. should the root drive (with ubuntu installed) be ext2 aswell
[04:31] <pty> najjstroem0050: system sorry (i'm using an old version of gnome)
[04:31] <Shizlanski> i mean ext3 aswel
[04:31] <Shizlanski> =\
[04:31] <najjstroem0050> and pty there is no multimedia in preference at system
[04:32] <TxPitou> Morning
[04:32] <erUSUL> Shizlanski: sure, google around it is as easy as one comand tune2fs -J <device> iirci
[04:32] <TxPitou> I have 2 configuration questions
[04:32] <najjstroem0050> Removeable drives and media pty?
[04:32] <Shizlanski> ok thanks :)
[04:32] <Jowi> Reliant, maybe the UUID in fstab is edgy specific. I only use dapper so I have not seen that before.
[04:32] <erUSUL> Shizlanski: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm
[04:33] <TxPitou> 1) I have internal 11b network card on this toshiba, the Network apps see the Eth1, but I cannot get it to see any networks (even though this interface works under windows just fine)
[04:33] <Shizlanski> thanks! ^_^
[04:33] <Reliant> Jowi, yeah, it switched it to UUID as part of the upgrade to Edgy
[04:33] <najjstroem0050> pty, there is no Multimedia system selector
[04:33] <Reliant> heh, can't open gcalctool with a read-only harddrive
[04:33] <pty> najjstroem0050: hmm, do you have the volume icon in the top right of your screen?
[04:33] <_james> how to install system themes on ubuntu
[04:33] <N1k_85> hi... I'm about to reinstall ubuntu and I have no idea what are the diferences between dapper, breezy, edgy ? wich one should i pick ?
[04:33] <najjstroem0050> yes
[04:33] <najjstroem0050> pty: yes
[04:34] <pty> najjstroem0050: right click -> open volume control
[04:34] <unop> _james, what do you mean by "system themes"?
[04:34] <Shizlanski> 1 more Q sorry. in this page it says logon as root to change ext2 to ext3, could i just sudo the commands instead?
[04:34] <najjstroem0050> pty: done
[04:34] <pty> then file -> change device
[04:34] <Lunar_Lamp> I used "adduser" to add a user to my Edgy server.  However they do not have bash as their default shell - how do I change this?
[04:34] <Jowi> Reliant, check what's causing hda2 to mount readonly
[04:34] <unop> N1k_85, go for edgy, it's the latest stable
[04:34] <frogzoo_> najjstroem0050: not in edgy, no
[04:34] <snide> hey guys wtf is up with ubuntu version? after i dled and installed xubuntu v6.10 amd64 .. its version says 6.06 .. wtf
[04:34] <snide> sorry im little pissy because i dont want to be leave with all buggy
[04:35] <Byan> snide: thats dapper drake
[04:35] <jak1> bulmer: thanks, but some how I do not want to use Automake :) I'm searching quite simple example what can build several different programs from one makefile
[04:35] <snide> yeah i know
[04:35] <snide> yi wanted edgy
[04:35] <snide> but yet the title says 6.10
[04:35] <Reliant> Jowi, what's the command to run a check on hda2 (ext3) ?
[04:35] <frogzoo_> Lunar_Lamp: chsh
[04:35] <jak1> if you understand what I'm saying :)
[04:35] <mgedmin> Lunar_Lamp: adduser --shell /bin/bash
[04:35] <riotkittie> wee. i broke x again. :\
[04:35] <bic> my installation is frozen at 22% :\
[04:35] <najjstroem0050> pty can we take this i privv or on msn, hard to concentrate when 30 people writing at same time
[04:35] <unop> snide, how are you checking the version?
[04:35] <_james> i mean the icons.. i downloaded a themes on gnome-look.org and i don't know how to install the system icons.. can someone help me?
[04:35] <erUSUL> Shizlanski: yes, all of this is better done from a livecd so the filsystems are umounted
[04:35] <Lunar_Lamp> mgedmin, isn't there a config file? I thought it was /etc/users but the file doesn't exist.
[04:35] <snide> ooh i meant when i was downloading the xbuntu installation
[04:35] <snide> the .iso file
[04:35] <bulmer> jak1: I have not finished actually started reading that book, but thats the basis for .configure that turns it into a bigger Makefile
[04:35] <snide> it says 6.10
[04:35] <snide> edgy
[04:36] <pty> najjstroem0050: only have irc at work sorry
[04:36] <mgedmin> Lunar_Lamp: man adduser tells me there's /etc/adduser.conf
[04:36] <snide> but now after done installation, it says 6.06
[04:36] <najjstroem0050> pty can you send a private msg to me then?
[04:36] <TxPitou> 1) I have internal wireless 802. 11b network card on this Toshiba laptop, the Network apps see the Eth1, but I cannot get it to see any networks (even though this interface works under windows just fine)
[04:36] <unop> _james,  you can install thm using the gnome-theme-manager
[04:36] <N1k_85> unop thanks, also i have a amd64 so is there a significant performance boost taking the amd64 version ? im very new to ubuntu and some things arent working for me on the amd64 version i have now, would it be wise to try the 386 to make my life easier ?
[04:36] <Jowi> Reliant, fsck.ext3 /dev/hda2 (man fsck)
[04:36] <snide> how do i check my xbuntu's current version .. like the one on windows xp? like ver command
[04:36] <Jowi> Reliant, also check /var/log/messages
[04:36] <bulmer> TxPitou: you activated the on/off switch for your wifi card?
[04:36] <jak1> bulmer: something like this -> http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/make_16.html
[04:36] <frogzoo_> _james: install gnome-art, then just drag into the app
[04:37] <unop> !version | snide
[04:37] <ubotu> snide: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[04:37] <_james> ok thnx i'll try
[04:37] <snide> alright ill try both
[04:37] <najjstroem0050> pty: can you send a private msg to me then?
[04:37] <snide> ty
[04:37] <TxPitou> Bulmer : Yes the Wifi Card is ON, I did a hardinfo and it sees the hardware
[04:37] <kane77> !nfs
[04:37] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[04:37] <frogzoo_> !themes | _james

[04:37] <Reliant> only thing in messages that stands out:
[04:37] <Reliant> Jan 17 07:37:27 localhost exiting on signal 15    Jan 17 07:37:28 localhost syslogd 1.4.1#18ubuntu6: restart.
[04:37] <jak1> that's best example what I found but I do not understand it very well
 Lunar_Lamp: man adduser tells me there's /etc/adduser.conf <== that's the conf file for adduser, not users on the system
[04:37] <bulmer> jak1: use it as reference then to build up one to customize your needs
[04:37] <Reliant> the system didn't reboot at that time
[04:38] <unop> N1k_85, well, you will obviously get the most out of ubuntu if you install the 64bit version -- but at the moment, it also means you need to do a little more work getting some non-64bit applications working
[04:38] <bic> my installation is frozen at 22%
[04:38] <snide> hm i apologize .. it says v6.10 edgy .. obviously the mozilla introduction website must be wrong
[04:38] <Reliant> Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.  Fix<y>? yes     <--- could this be hardware?
[04:38] <snide> ty guys lol
[04:38] <bulmer> TxPitou: do you have your own AP? or using someone else?
[04:38] <AzMoo_> Lunar_Lamp, are you looking for /etc/passwd ?
[04:38] <Lunar_Lamp> AzMoo_, THANKS! that's the eone
[04:39] <Lunar_Lamp> I just couldn't remember the file
[04:39] <AzMoo_> np
[04:39] <mgedmin> Lunar_Lamp: well, what do you want to know?  the currently selected shell for a user (it's in /etc/passwd, changeable with chsh) or the default shell that will be selected when you add new users (it's in /etc/adduser.conf)
[04:39] <TxPitou> bulmer Ap ?
[04:39] <jak1> bulmer: I think I do that, but how do I split one makefile to several files and include those makefiles what current progrman needs
[04:39] <bulmer> TxPitou: access point
[04:39] <riotkittie> Access Point
[04:39] <snide> hold on, it says "No LSB modules are available"  what does that mean?
[04:39] <jak1> that's one problem where I didn't find any help yet
[04:39] <N1k_85> unop thanks, I guess i'll go 64 and learn the way it's done
[04:39] <unop> Lunar_Lamp, errm, just beware - don't edit /etc/passwd directly -- you should be using addusers for that
[04:39] <lihaitao> Hi, I got this strange issue. DNS not working, i can only using IP address, but firefox can use domain name after i disabled "network.dns.disableIPv6" of firefox, what's the problem? ubuntu feisty
[04:39] <Jowi> Reliant, the inodes store the informations about files and directories so that could possibly be it.
[04:39] <Lunar_Lamp> unop, I've edited /etc/passwd many times before directly....
[04:40] <freakynl> anyone know if there are kernel packages with klips instead of netkey available?
[04:40] <bulmer> jak1: thats the reason I suggested reading that book on autoconfig, automake, it gives you the baseline on how to build Makefiles in sub-dirs and work your way up to the root Makefile
[04:40] <TxPitou> bulmer, Yes my own router I have 2 other laptops using it here, I have tested this Wifi using windows (swap hard drives) and it works fine. I also have a spare Airlink 101 54g card (pcmcia)  same thing hardinfo reconizes the hardware but doesnt use it
[04:40] <unop> Lunar_Lamp, well, no problem with that - but just beware of the implications if you botch the file up
[04:40] <e\ectro> Does anyone have a suggestion for using a mysql based dns server?  I looked at mydns and the web interface is severly lacking..  thanks!
[04:40] <Reliant> well, this drive has been to Bulgaria and back in my luggage, and it's quite a few years old, so I wouldn't be surprised at hardware failure
[04:40] <snide> it says "No LSB modules are available"  what does that mean?
[04:41] <Jowi> Reliant, unfortunatly I need to go now. good luck.
[04:41] <Lunar_Lamp> unop, oh right, I hadn't thought of that. I presume that would render the machine unable to be logged into.
[04:41] <bulmer> TxPitou: what does ifconfig -a tell you about that wifi card? its recognize as which? eth0 or wlan0?
[04:41] <jak1> bulmer: ok, thanks you guidance... I try to solve my problem now on... thanks again
[04:41] <Reliant> ok, thanks for your help Jowi
[04:41] <Jowi> np Reliant
[04:41] <Reliant> I'll be looking into a replacement drive
[04:41] <unop> Lunar_Lamp, well, that depends on how botched up the file is -- the safest way to add a user is by using adduser/addgroup
[04:42] <bulmer> jak1: np
[04:42] <Reliant> they're really cheap anyway, and I get a nice upgrade
[04:42] <TxPitou> bulmer -->eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:2D:24:28:59
[04:42] <Shizlanski> Q:  I understand you cant write to NTFS (nicely) but is it fine to copy from it over to another ext3 or FAT32 drive?
[04:42] <_james> i have a system icon.. and when i try to drag it  to install it says that the it is an invalid format.. can someone help me
[04:42] <TxPitou> bulmer isnt that a cat5 definition ?
[04:42] <bulmer> TxPitou: yes, how about for the wifi?
[04:42] <TxPitou> bulmer that IS the wifi,, the eth0 is the CAt5 I am using right now to talk to you
[04:42] <bulmer> TxPitou: cat 5 , you meant your ethernet nic..
[04:43] <freakynl> Shizlanski: yea, ntfs3g can write to it ok tho'
[04:43] <TxPitou> bulmer yes
[04:43] <Shizlanski> k thanks
[04:43] <bulmer> TxPitou: now try iwconfig eth0
[04:43] <njl> is there any program to store a complete website?
[04:43] <freakynl> Shizlanski: it's slow like hell btw if you need to do a lot :). don't use it for raring/parring dvd images n such it'll be really slow
[04:43] <lupine_85> wget --mirror
[04:44] <apokryphos> njl: wget's good. Check out the manual page.
[04:44] <apokryphos> if rsync's available that's better
[04:44] <TxPitou> bulmer eth0      no wireless extensions.
[04:44] <Enselic`> Is it possible to play embedded .wmv in Firefox?
[04:44] <adub> can someone help me with intalling the loading screen for gnome like i want to change the loading screen theme
[04:44] <adub> where do i change this at
[04:44] <instabin> could some one help me with installing the bianary nvidia driver
[04:44] <adub> like the default is brown or something
[04:44] <TxPitou> bulmer but eth1 gives me eth1      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:""  Nickname:"HERMES I"

[04:44] <unop> Enselic`, yes, install the totem or mplayer plugins for firefox
[04:44] <Shaezsche> how can i make a script that prompts for root password BEFORE executing commands?
[04:44] <Guvrok> hm
[04:45] <instabin> Synaptic onlny has nvida-glx-legacy and not nvidia-glx
[04:45] <Enselic`> unop, I've done that, but it says (no video)
[04:45] <Enselic`> unop, when I try to view a vide
[04:45] <instabin> how do i get nvidia-glx to show up
[04:45] <bulmer> TxPitou: umm try the system -> administration -> networking  is the card recognize?
[04:45] <unop> Enselic`, well, in firefox -- check about:plugins to see if the plugins are loaded properly
[04:45] <bulmer> TxPitou: it is recognized..i typed before i read your response
[04:45] <freakynl> Shaezsche: su -c <scriptname> ?
[04:45] <rogue780> is there a command line tool to set a static ip?
[04:46] <freakynl> rogue780: permanently or one time? one time use ifconfig
[04:46] <unop> Shaezsche,  use sudo inside the script
[04:46] <Shaezsche> freakynl i want to make an icon on the desktop
[04:46] <Shaezsche> unop i did and it doesnt work
[04:46] <TxPitou> bulmer yes I checked... but cannot get it to "see any networks' and my ssid is on broadcast
[04:46] <rogue780> freakynl, permanently
[04:46] <bulmer> TxPitou: umm try the system -> administration -> networking  and select your wireless and click on properties to set SSID etc
[04:46] <instabin> Well guess I'll try the legacy driver.......
[04:46] <freakynl> rogue780: wouldn't know
[04:46] <TxPitou> tbulmer okay let me try
[04:46] <adub> Can I change the loading screen?
[04:46] <freakynl> rogue780: not yet an ubuntu user, but usually one just edits the config files
[04:47] <unop> Shaezsche, well, has your sudo session timed out yet -- if it hasnt then sudo'll continue without prompting you for authentication
[04:47] <EnsignRedshirt> Has anyone tried the pc-to-phone calls in ekiga?
[04:47] <toutpt> hi there ! is someone can tell me the difference between 6.06 and 6.06.1 ???
[04:47] <rogue780> freakynl, right, but when you don't know what config files to edit...
[04:47] <toutpt> can t find on the web site
[04:47] <deb_noob> !nvidia
[04:47] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:47] <instabin> EnsignRedshirt I have made them in skype
[04:47] <Shaezsche> i want this script to ask me for a pass
[04:47] <Shaezsche> #!/bin/sh
[04:47] <Shaezsche>  sudo modprobe ipw2200
[04:47] <Shaezsche>  nm-applet --sm-disable
[04:47] <Delux_247> that tutorial for nvidia didn't work for me
[04:47] <unop> rogue780, i think you need /etc/networks/interfaces
[04:47] <instabin> Delux_247
[04:48] <instabin> that tutorial does work
[04:48] <Delux_247> when I try to nividia-glx-config  I get the: you don't have the right nividia module installe dof ryour kernel
[04:48] <Delux_247> im sure it works
[04:48] <Delux_247> it didn't work for me
[04:48] <Byan> can I use konqurer on gnome?
[04:48] <Shaezsche> unop?
[04:48] <instabin> Delux_247 what version
[04:48] <Delux_247> I have 6.10 and amd64 and nividia geforce 5500 fx
[04:48] <bulmer> Shaezsche: the sudo line will need a passwd so it will prompt you for one
[04:48] <instabin> Delux_247 You have to type the next command
[04:48] <unop> Shaezsche, errm, why dont you simply run the whole script using sudo then ?
[04:48] <Shaezsche> bulmer well it doesnt
[04:48] <Delux_247> ?

[04:49] <michaelpo> hi... i just installed ubuntu 6.06 last night.... it was halfway updating patches... i shutdown my laptop... slow connection.. 3kB/s only.... now i want to install some vcd / dvd library... it says problem connecting? i can access the web, irc, msn, yahoom, icq... what's wrong? did i click something wrongly lastnight?
[04:49] <Delux_247> I thought I was stuck b/c it said I don't have the right nvidia modules
[04:49] <bulmer> Shaezsche: maybe you can add a readline? that will block until your user inputted something
[04:49] <Delux_247> (yet I installed all possible nvidia modules seperately and tested(
[04:49] <michaelpo> i'm in malaysia. i just installed ubuntu 6.06 last night.... it was halfway updating patches... i shutdown my laptop... slow connection.. 3kB/s only.... now i want to install some vcd / dvd library... it says problem connecting? i can access the web, irc, msn, yahoom, icq... what's wrong? did i click something wrongly lastnight? malaysia mirror broken?
[04:49] <instabin> The command you where typing was for a previous version
[04:49] <serpenttiini> michaelpo: do you have desktop?
[04:49] <unop> Shaezsche, well, it should have worked -- open up another terminal and try the script out just to make sure you enter another sudo session
[04:49] <Delux_247> instabin: oooh
[04:50] <michaelpo> serpenttiini: i dont have desktop
[04:50] <Delux_247> old version of ubuntu? for 6.06
[04:50] <Delux_247> ?
[04:50] <instabin> Delux_247 type this sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:50] <EnsignRedshirt> toutpt: 6.06.1 is a new release; it include updated packages on the CD.  I'm pretty sure you would end up with the same thing if you installed 6.06, and then updated via the internet.
[04:50] <serpenttiini> michaelpo: oh, I ment to say do you have wlan or cable?
[04:50] <Shaezsche> no i want to launch the script by double clicking it
[04:50] <EnsignRedshirt> *newer release
[04:50] <michaelpo> i downloaded 44 out of 97 last night... now cant continue...
[04:50] <riyonuk_> Im having trouble installing a gtk theme, its installed and says Im using it, but it looks nothing like the screenshot, if I change engines by typing switch2 it changes even more, what am I doing?
[04:50] <michaelpo> i have wlan... adsl router...
[04:50] <Delux_247> instabin: ok ill try that when I get home tonite, btw, do you know where the how to for the new version is?
[04:50] <TxPitou> bulmer : Hey it works now.. (I had not turned it on.. DUH!) now to configure it for WPA, seems I need drivers now.
[04:50] <unop> Shaezsche, well, errm, debug it before going on to have it desktop-ready
[04:50] <serpenttiini> michaelpo: ok, then I can't help you
[04:51] <instabin> Its the same one
[04:51] <bulmer> TxPitou: congrats...
[04:51] <instabin> Delux_247 it says "If you are running Edgy, type the following instead: "
[04:51] <Delux_247> instabin: ooh, ill read the whole doc first, then if its on there
[04:51] <Delux_247> I didn't see it
[04:51] <Delux_247> DOH!
[04:51] <Delux_247> ok thanks a lot instabin
[04:51] <instabin> lol
[04:51] <instabin> Welcome
[04:51] <unop> Shaezsche, errm, sorry, you'll need gksudo instead of sudo if you are going to double click
[04:52] <toutpt> thx a lot EnsignRedshirt
[04:52] <instabin> I cant get nvidia_glx to show up all i can see is nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:52] <TxPitou> bulmer, humm... so I need to find some WPA encryption setup somewhere... (I use WPA-TIK)
[04:52] <nystwysrt> i love ubuntu
[04:52] <TxPitou> tbulmer, and thank you for you help.. I di have another question
[04:52] <nystwysrt> :)
[04:52] <Delux_247> I have a severe problem of following directions to a T
[04:53] <Delux_247> sometimes I won't read the next step if the previous step failed
[04:53] <unop> TxPitou, yes, you might like to check !wpa_supplicant out
[04:53] <Delux_247> yet the next step will say smioething like: if that failed, try this
[04:53] <mark__o> I'm having codec problems. Has anyone had their wmv video way too bright?
[04:53] <Ubuntuguy> All: question re feisty.  I have a bare machine (HD not partitioned) that I booted with Toms Root Boot diskette.  I'd like to try feisty on it but it has no CD burner.  How can I use the iso (mounted via loopback) to start the installation?
[04:53] <TxPitou>  !wpa_supplicant out
[04:53] <bulmer> TxPitou: perhaps...i dont use wpa..
[04:54] <Delux_247> and I was gonna put ubuntu on my toshiba satelite pro laptop, any issues with the atheros wireless g drivers?
[04:54] <Delux_247> I've read that atheros + linux is still iffy
[04:54] <guerrillawon> That automounter worked perfectly, thank you.

[04:54] <TxPitou> bulmer, I have to, Using Wireless headset that runs encryption, had to make network different as it interfered with it
[04:55] <PaulusVictor> Can anyone kindly point me to some kind of Linux codec pack?

[04:55] <mikefoo> Hey I accidental did crontab -r -u root instead of crontab -e -u root and removed the crontab, anyway to get it back guys?
[04:55] <bulmer> TxPitou: i dont use wpa, perhaps you can select a different channel, you must set it in your AP
[04:56] <emss> ubuntu still uses md5 password hashes?
[04:56] <bulmer> mikefoo: maybe you can load the liveCD and look for a copy of cron file there?
[04:56] <unop> emss, in which context do you mean?
[04:57] <mark__o> perhaps there are multiple wmv codecs, and the one I have makes the video way too bright?
[04:57] <bic> im having trouble getting a cd to work, ive downloaded 3 different isos, and burned 3 different times, the lastest one i burned at 2x speed and when i did a cd check i got a bad checksum
[04:57] <bulmer> bic: mount the iso before burning it, check around the iso upon mounting..maybe you can spot something
[04:57] <Delux_247> bic: I would test your burner (hardware)
[04:58] <bic> how?
[04:58] <emss> unop: /etc/passwd?
[04:58] <krinns> hi all
[04:58] <bulmer> bic: you can mount an iso like so...  mount -o loop  /path/to/file.iso  /mnt
[04:58] <guerrillawon> hmmm My auI seem to have lost my sound? Is there anything I can do like reset settings in an attempt to get it back?
[04:58] <krinns> am going to install flash player in ubuntu
[04:58] <krinns> its asking for path
[04:58] <unop> emss, IIRC, ubuntu uses shadow passwords by deefault -- and yes, they are of some form of md5 hashes
[04:58] <krinns> where should it be
[04:59] <bic> i have no idea what you just said
[04:59] <krinns> default is /usr/lib/mozilla
[04:59] <snide> it says "No LSB modules are available"  what does that mean? (this is 3rd spam msgs)
[04:59] <krinns> but its not getting that path
[04:59] <mzuverink> in the prefered application settings for mail reader I would like it to use firefox and go directly to my gmail page.  is this possible?
[05:00] <bulmer> bic: man mount .... mount is the command to mount a filesystem into your linux
[05:00] <unop> snide, errm, it helps if you let people know the context of that error message otherwise they'll move on ? which command/action gave you that error?
[05:00] <snide> ooh after i typed in lsb_release -a
[05:01] <snide> i got the id of my os but that "no lsb modules" came on top
[05:01] <snide>  .. shrugs
[05:01] <snide> not a big deal , just thought that i should be concerned by that msg .. should i?
[05:02] <TxPitou> bulmer : mind another question, I have a pcmcia wireless card that does 54g (my network is 54g) I did the commands you told me last time but I am getting a different result and I am not sure if the hardware is being reconized or not.
[05:02] <unop> snide, hmm -- i think you need to install these package -- sudo aptitude install lsb lsb-common lsb-core lsb-release
[05:02] <riyonuk_> Im having trouble installing a gtk theme, its installed and says Im using it, but it looks nothing like the screenshot, if I change engines by typing switch2 it changes even more, what am I doing?
[05:03] <bulmer> TxPitou: on that system -> administration -> networking  would list all the cards it recognizes, or use dmesg to see it did detected it
[05:03] <snide> thanks unop, installing now
[05:04] <bulmer> am away

[05:06] <riotkittie> riyonuk_: is there a README in the theme? :P
[05:07] <riotkittie> and how did you install ... by dragging into theme manager, or manually?
[05:07] <AWOSLappy> Hello, I have a hex dump that saved in human-readable format...I need it to be in COMPUTER readable format
[05:08] <AWOSLappy> 00000346  8d c9 b2 ff fe e6 67 ff  ff ff fb 60 44 22 00 01 ......g. ...`D"..
[05:08] <AWOSLappy> ^ that's one of the lines of the file
[05:09] <riyonuk_> riotkittie, nope
[05:09] <AWOSLappy> so what can I do to make that into something the computer can open, as in, it's an executable
[05:09] <zylche> Hey, whenever I try to install any apps k3d tries to install itself, is there any command or file to remove/edit to stop it from getting automatically installed? [Using apt-get with dpkg] 
[05:09] <TxPitou> anyone use an AIRLINK 101 (54g) pcmcia Card for wireless can lend me a hand on making it work ?
[05:09] <lovloss> Shot in the dark. Are there any html people in here who can explain to me without the elitist slander of #html, and explain to me how to use templates to make a static menu? i dont get it. 3 days of trying
[05:09] <rqveN`> lol
[05:09] <riyonuk_> it changes the windows but not the toolbar
[05:09] <maco> lovloss, static as in it doesnt move when you scroll or static as in "the order i typed it"?
[05:10] <lovloss> maco, in other words, each page has the exact same menu but different content beside it. Without heavy coding so itll be easily accessible.
[05:10] <lovloss> maco, I get templates, but they are problematic. You cant update the template and have it change every page
[05:10] <AWOSLappy> Is there a better channel to ask my question on?
[05:11] <SHRIKEE> AWOSLappy, just ask
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> I did already
[05:11] <SHRIKEE> oh
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> Hello, I have a hex dump that saved in human-readable format...I need it to be in COMPUTER readable format
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> 00000346  8d c9 b2 ff fe e6 67 ff  ff ff fb 60 44 22 00 01 ......g. ...`D"..
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> ^ that's one of the lines of the file
[05:11] <SHRIKEE> note that there are almost 1000 people ere...
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> it's an executable, so how can I make the COMPUTER read it
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> ?
[05:11] <SHRIKEE> binary?
[05:11] <SHRIKEE> :)
[05:11] <riyonuk_> I think murrina or switch2 messed some things up
[05:11] <AWOSLappy> hehe I know
[05:12] <unop> AWOSLappy, what does this command give you -- file /path/to/file
[05:12] <AWOSLappy> oh wow...um...I'm in Windows right now with an ext3 driver
[05:12] <unop> AWOSLappy, and the "human readable" form is the part at the right
[05:12] <AWOSLappy> Shall I reboot in to Linux?
[05:13] <unop> AWOSLappy, errm, to which OS does this file belong to? Windows or Linux?
[05:13] <AWOSLappy> unop I know that, but the 8c9b2fffee667ff is hexadecimal, and I need it to be the actual hexdecimal content OF the file
[05:13] <ramvi> EDGY: I've installed LAMP. Just some of my directories in /var/www shows up at 127.0.0.1. PHP-scripts return: Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0. What's wrong?
[05:13] <AWOSLappy> unop it's on my ext3 drive, I have a driver in Windows to be able to read/write on it
[05:13] <unop> AWOSLappy, errm, that is the _actual_ hex representation of the file
[05:13] <AWOSLappy> I know that
[05:13] <dromer> hmm, I just formatted on ald ntfs-partition to ext3, but apperantly there is still a folder lost+found present, which I can't open
[05:13] <SHRIKEE> then what is your problem
[05:13] <TxPitou> anyone use an AIRLINK 101 (54g) pcmcia Card for wireless can lend me a hand on making it work ?
[05:13] <AzMoo> AWOSLappy, if you want to execute a file on windows you need to compile it for windows.
[05:13] <ramvi> Using php5, not php5-cgi
[05:14] <AWOSLappy> but it needs to BE the file, not so that I can read the hexadecimal but the computer can read the hexadecimal?
[05:14] <AWOSLappy> Do you see what I mean?
[05:14] <unop> AWOSLappy, that doesnt answer the question -- to which OS does this file belong to? i ask because you can have windows DLLs on a linux ext3 partition and vice-versa
[05:14] <AWOSLappy> the actual file, when opened in hexedit, shows 50 51 when it should just be 01
[05:14] <AWOSLappy> unop it's on Linux
[05:14] <AWOSLappy> it belongs to awilcox, uid 1003, on Ubuntu 6.06
[05:15] <unop> AWOSLappy, computers dont read hexadecimal -- they read files as binary .,.. errm, what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:15] <AWOSLappy> I'm trying to open it
[05:15] <AWOSLappy> fine, it's an MP3
[05:15] <AWOSLappy> I'm trying to play it
[05:15] <ramvi> It seems apache is automatically set up with hostnames and shit
[05:15] <SHRIKEE> lol
[05:15] <AWOSLappy> but it's in stupid hexdump format
[05:15] <zylche> Hey, whenever I try to install any apps k3d tries to install itself, is there any command or file to remove/edit to stop it from getting automatically installed? [Using apt-get with dpkg] 
[05:15] <SHRIKEE> ive never heard of that AWOSLappy
[05:15] <unop> AWOSLappy, errm .. just open it in your media player .. bahh
[05:15] <AzMoo> hah
[05:15] <amigrave> what is the difference between edgy-updates and edgy-security ?
[05:16] <AWOSLappy> unop...
[05:16] <AzMoo> AWOSLappy, so you're trying to play a hex dump of an mp3 file?
[05:16] <TxPitou> anyone using a T30 MP3 Player from creative labs, ? when I plug it in the photo manager kicks on and I cannot see the device like an MP3 (like my other usb thumb drive devices)
[05:16] <AWOSLappy> neither amaroK nor windows media can open a file that looks like this: 000001D6  ed ef f2 f5 f7 fa fc fe  00 00 00 39 4c 41 4d 45 ........ ...9LAME
[05:16] <AWOSLappy> AzMoo exactly.
[05:16] <SHRIKEE> is there a decent app available for webcams which can upload the webcam images to a scp/ssh server?
[05:16] <dromer> how can I open this locked folder lost+found that's on my, just formatted to ext3, partiton?
[05:16] <ramvi> Apache returns: apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[05:16] <unop> AWOSLappy, why can't you just copy the file over to your windows partition and play it?
[05:16] <marshall> whats up guys
[05:16] <marshall> can somebody tell me how to exit vim?
[05:16] <AWOSLappy> unop, it's in HEXDUMP format, not MP3 format
[05:16] <AzMoo> marshall, :q
[05:16] <unop> AWOSLappy, and just how did you get this hexdump?
[05:16] <AWOSLappy> marshall type :q
[05:16] <frogzoo_> dromer: leave lost+found alone, you've been warned
[05:17] <dromer> marshall: esc, :q
[05:17] <AWOSLappy> unop through ethereal
[05:17] <SHRIKEE> is there a decent app available for webcams which can upload the webcam images to a scp/ssh server?
[05:17] <dromer> frogzoo_: I don't understand, what is it and why is it 900mb?
[05:17] <marshall> ok, thanks AzMoo, AWOSLappy, and dromer
[05:17] <dromer> :)
[05:17] <AWOSLappy> marshall no problem :D
[05:17] <rindolf> Hi all!
[05:17] <ramvi> I've installed LAMP,but only some of my directories in /var/www shows up in my browser. PHP-scripts return: Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0. What's wrong? It seems apache is automatically set up with hostnames or something..? Apache returns: apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName. What do I do?
[05:18] <frogzoo_> dromer: when fsck runs, any blocks it can't figure out what to do with, it moves to lost+found - there shouldn't be anything there if it's a newly formatted partition
[05:18] <AWOSLappy> unop so um, is there anything I can do?
[05:18] <SHRIKEE> ramvi, set a server name in httpd.conf
[05:18] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: The files are world-readable?
[05:18] <rindolf> Where do I find debootstrap in the Ubuntu installation CD?
[05:18] <Lynx-> Does anyone know what packages are stored in the "proposed" repository?
[05:18] <dromer> frogzoo_: hmmm, I really just formatted it a couple hours ago with gparted
[05:18] <unop> AWOSLappy, uhhh .. errm, I have a hunch that you'll need to strip out the line numbers, ASCII translations, whitespace and newlines .. and that ought to give you an mp3 file
[05:18] <TxPitou> anyone use an AIRLINK 101 (54g) pcmcia Card for wireless can lend me a hand on making it work ?
[05:18] <TxPitou> anyone using a T30 MP3 Player from creative labs, ? when I plug it in the photo manager kicks on and I cannot see the device like an MP3 (like my other usb thumb drive devices)
[05:18] <dromer> frogzoo_: it was an ntfs-partition with all kinds of data
[05:19] <frogzoo_> dromer: well it's your data - use sudo to rm it
[05:19] <AWOSLappy> unop no.
[05:19] <dromer> but I have no idea what kind of data it could be, and I want to find out .. I just can't open it
[05:20] <SHRIKEE> isnt lost+found a sort of trashbin for cached data?
[05:20] <ramvi> SHRIKEE, tonyyarusso,  I'am in php-geek, but don't know much about configuring apache. It has always just worked.. I dont want to do anything advanced, only see my directories. What do I do in apache2.conf? Haven't changed anything there..
[05:20] <AWOSLappy> unop because if you open it in VI
[05:20] <ahmad`> does ubuntu has c compiler ? shuch like gcc
[05:20] <dromer> should I change the permissions (and how?) to my user?
[05:20] <rindolf> ahmad`: yes.
[05:20] <rindolf> ahmad`: apt-get install gcc
[05:20] <AWOSLappy> unop: you'll see 0f 0f a1 63 or stuff like that
[05:20] <SHRIKEE> ramvi if you want it to just work, use clarckconnect linux :P
[05:20] <AWOSLappy> unop: in VI
[05:21] <ahmad`> rindolf should it be connected to the internet in-order to install it ?
[05:21] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: I don't know if it's anything about your apache config.  Make sure that the permissions are a+r though
[05:21] <rindolf> ahmad`: yes.
[05:21] <Guvrok> Is anyone using Wine to play Windows games on Ubuntu?
[05:21] <AWOSLappy> unop so in hexedit you'll see 30 66 30 66 61 31 36 33
[05:21] <ahmad`> rindolf thanks for your help ;)
[05:21] <SHRIKEE> ramvi, 127.0.0.1 is not a FQDN so you have to set it to either localhost or some other domain
[05:21] <AWOSLappy> those hexadecimal bytes are in ASCII
[05:21] <AWOSLappy> they need to just be hexadecimal
[05:21] <ramvi> tonyyarusso, i've chowned it to my user..?
[05:21] <AWOSLappy> but they are saved in ASCII
[05:21] <lovloss> Guvrok I tried and failed
[05:22] <bresellu> ciao
[05:22] <Guvrok> lovloss, how come it failed?
[05:22] <bresellu> vi e qualhc eitaliano
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: No......
[05:22] <AWOSLappy> now I need a program that can read the hexadecimal and convert it TO bytes IN the file--NOT ASCII
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: Should be root:www-data, a+r
[05:22] <dromer> how can I change the permissions of this lost+found folder to my user so I can see the content?
[05:22] <AWOSLappy> !tell bresellu about it
[05:22] <maco> lovloss, use CSS
[05:22] <AWOSLappy> hmm
[05:22] <ramvi> SHRIKEE, hmm? I get the same page at 127 and localhost
[05:22] <tsoler> hello hello to all
[05:22] <Guvrok> What's CSS?
[05:22] <lovloss> maco CSS? I have that, whats it do?
[05:22] <maco> CSS layouts can have you edit the one file and change them all
[05:22] <riotkittie> !it | bresellu
[05:22] <ubotu> bresellu: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:22] <maco> cascading style sheets
[05:23] <SHRIKEE> offcoarse, but an ip addres cannot be a FQDN
[05:23] <lovloss> Guvrok becasuse windows made it that way
[05:23] <Guvrok> Will it help make Wine work with Ubuntu?
[05:23] <tsoler> guys need some help with boot sequence
[05:23] <lovloss> maco Really? that sounds like what it is
[05:23] <unop> AWOSLappy, you need to save the file as a binary -- converting each ASCII representation of those hexadecimal charcters into binary
[05:23] <unop> AWOSLappy, does that make it clearer now?
[05:23] <riotkittie> will what help wine work? CSS?!?
[05:23] <lovloss> i mean what i need
[05:23] <maco> you give each division of the page a <div> and then set all the locations and colors and stuff in CSS
[05:23] <Vigo> !wine|Guvrok
[05:23] <ubotu> Guvrok: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:23] <AWOSLappy> unop yeah, I know that, that is EXACTLY what I want to do
[05:23] <AWOSLappy> now
[05:23] <maco> lovloss, it wont change the CONTENT though, just style
[05:23] <AWOSLappy> what the heck do I use to DO that!?
[05:23] <Guvrok> Yeah, I kinda know what it is..
[05:23] <maco> for content you'd need php or server side includes
[05:23] <Guvrok> well, I'll just google :)
[05:24] <unop> AWOSLappy, errm, can you paste bin that dump .. i'll try it out with perl
[05:24] <lovloss> maco  So i cant change all the pages buttons at the same time?
[05:24] <Vigo> Guvrok: I just put it up for you
[05:24] <AWOSLappy> unop well it's 8MB
[05:24] <unop> AWOSLappy, well, a few lines will do then
[05:24] <tsoler> i v e got  os under this booting sequence 1. winxp 2. win2003
[05:24] <AWOSLappy> okay
[05:24] <lovloss> unop: if, say, i wanted to change all the backgrounds without touching the editable portions, could i?
[05:24] <Guvrok> I think I've been on that page before, Vigo.. I'm really very new to Ubuntu, so I'm having trouble getting things to work
[05:24] <Guvrok> Thanks a lot, though, I'll have a closer look after I've eaten.
[05:25] <unop> lovloss, err, whats this?
[05:25] <ramvi> tonyyarusso, thanks! sudo chmod -R a+r /var/www made my php-files work. The only dirs showing up though is: phpmyadmin and apache2-default..?
[05:25] <tsoler> if i install ubuntu wiil it be the default booting os?

[05:25] <AzMoo> lovloss, the idea of CSS is to separate your styles (visual effects of webpages) from your html. Specifically to allow you to change all the elements on your page at once, etc.
[05:25] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: are there supposed to be more?
[05:25] <AWOSLappy> unop it starts at 00000146, because the first 145 bytes are from the HTTP request
[05:25] <Vigo> Guvrok: The forums are the place where people discuss and find resolutions
[05:25] <ramvi> tonyyarusso, yeah, I've got 6 sexy dirs there
[05:26] <tonyyarusso> huh
[05:26] <ramvi> the files at / is showing up. And the default dirs. But not "my" dirs
[05:26] <AWOSLappy> unop -- http://pastebin.com/861375
[05:26] <snide> any of you know which is the best 3d solution graphic card (not for gaming .. just for 3d modeling, animating, etc) ?
[05:26] <lovloss> *confused* well okay, ill look into them
[05:27] <AWOSLappy> snide well gaming and 3D modeling really have the same requirements to a certain extent, something that works well with gaming will certainly work well with 3D modeling
[05:27] <riotkittie> tsoler: yes but it will give you the option to boot into windows, and you can modify your grub settings to change the default or the delay
[05:27] <snide> really? cool, ty for the info
[05:27] <AWOSLappy> personally I feel that of course the NVIDIA GeForce series its the best, 8000 is super
[05:27] <AzMoo> lovloss, http://www.w3schools.com/css/
[05:27] <snide> what about the fx series?
[05:28] <AWOSLappy> snide I can't remember
[05:28] <AWOSLappy> those are either the best or the worst
[05:28] <ramvi> tonyyarusso, is it something with apache only allowing some dirs?
[05:28] <AWOSLappy> it's at one end :P
[05:28] <snide> yeah i guess so
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: I'm not sure, that's odd
[05:28] <tsoler> riotkittie?
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> ramvi: Maybe a+x them as well (just the directories, not the files within)
[05:28] <tsoler>  riotkittie? can you give some privacy?
[05:29] <KenSentMe> I'm trying to compile a driver for my webcam. I searches for /usr/src/linux which doesn't exist on Ubuntu. Where should i let the driver compile to?
[05:29] <AzMoo> KenSentMe, got the linux-headers installed?
[05:29] <tsoler> how can i modify grub?
[05:29] <AzMoo> tsoler, /boot/grub/grub.conf
[05:30] <Enverex> Before I say anything, allow me to say AAAAARRGGGHH
[05:30] <KenSentMe> AzMoo: yes, there is /usr/src/linux-headers etc. Should i use that?
[05:30] <tonyyarusso> AzMoo: It's menu.lst...
[05:30] <AzMoo> tsoler, er, sorry, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:30] <AzMoo> KenSentMe, yep, that's what it's looking for.
[05:30] <tsoler> ill check this ruight now
[05:31] <AzMoo> tonyyarusso, yeah, my bad. grub.conf on gentoo ;)
[05:31] <tonyyarusso> AzMoo: Ah, figured something like that
[05:31] <cyphase> If I'm running Ubuntu in a virtual machine, and the host compute is also Ubuntu, how do i switch to a virtual console in the virtual machine?
[05:31] <AzMoo> anyway, I'm off. Later.
[05:31] <Enverex> That stupid "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons" thing on the forum HAS TO GO
[05:32] <cyphase> is there a program that can somehow send the "Ctrl+Alt+F1" combo to X?
[05:32] <AWOSLappy> unop, does it work?  I'm just making sure you are still here.
[05:33] <Vigo> Is the OpenVPN 2.0 supported by Ubuntu?
[05:33] <maco> lovloss, if you want to change all the font colors or all the background images or move all the navbars down a bit or turn all the links pink, use CSS
[05:33] <tonyyarusso> Vigo: 'apt-cache show openvpn'
[05:33] <jrib> cyphase: chvt looks like it might, but it doesn't.  May be a starting point though
[05:34] <Vigo> Thank you
[05:34] <lovloss> maco, im thinking dramatic changes
[05:34] <lovloss> maco like say, a new menu item
[05:34] <maco> lovloss, if you want to add another button to your menu, you'd have to make the menu using PHP or SSI and then put a little code inside your html (i dont know it because i dont do it) and itll call that php or ssi file to tell it what it should show in that space
[05:34] <unop> AWOSLappy, errm, gimme a couple of minutes
[05:34] <AWOSLappy> unop okay :)
[05:35] <lovloss> maco ... that doesnt sound hard o.o ive never used php..
[05:35] <maco> lovloss, if your server lets you, ssi is easier/smaller, from what i can tell. php requires a new language
[05:35] <Vigo> I still have to restore the Grub because I wiped XP off the drive and installed Win2k on it, lost boot loader =(
[05:35] <jrib> cyphase: it seems to work if I am in tty1 for example and switch to tty2, but not in X
[05:35] <tonyyarusso> !grub | Vigo
[05:35] <ubotu> Vigo: 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
[05:35] <Vigo> Thank you
[05:35] <Enverex> Does anyone know of a "rolling distro" (like Gentoo) but that is binary rather than source?
[05:35] <Byan> how do I get laptop-mode enabled?
[05:36] <tonyyarusso> Enverex: Is that even possible?
[05:36] <GuerrillaWon> whew
[05:36] <riotkittie> Byan: sudo laptop-mode start
[05:36] <maco> vigo, i installed feisty on an external drive and now i can only boot edgy (on the internal) if i use the grub on the external to point to the internal one
[05:36] <AWOSLappy> bah, stupid LAN cable
[05:36] <GuerrillaWon> Trying to fix my sound I uninstalled my desktop
[05:36] <GuerrillaWon> !
[05:37] <Enverex> tonyyarusso, I'd assume so...
[05:37] <GuerrillaWon> Got it fixed but I thought I destroyed my computer *shakes fist at his lack of linux experience*
[05:37] <GuerrillaWon> Still no sound hah!
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> Enverex: You'd have lots of toolchain dependency conflicts and such I would think.  But then, I wouldn't necessarily know.  ;)
[05:37] <incorrect> :) my backport of subversion 1.4.2 to dapper goes well :D
[05:37] <kane77> how can I increase the mouse sensitivity?
[05:37] <Pici> GuerrillaWon : I learned to use linux by breaking things then fixing it myself :)
[05:37] <Byan> riotkittie: someone said to change something with acpi to change it? how do I have it auto-enabled..
[05:37] <riotkittie> GuerrillaWon: lspci ...  is the card shown there? and oh, stupid question, youre not muted, are you?
[05:38] <xopher> What applet is this? (The one that shows wifi signal strengt..) http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power-manager/images/gpm-taskbar.png
[05:38] <Enverex> tonyyarusso, I love Ubuntu but I hate having to use really old software
[05:38] <GuerrillaWon> It's there riot, and I'm not sure how to check if I'm muted or not.
[05:38] <tonyyarusso> xopher: network-manager
[05:38] <tonyyarusso> -gnome
[05:38] <riotkittie> Byan: i'm not really sure. i havent bothered toying with acpi or laptop-mode
[05:38] <Byan> does anyone else know?
[05:39] <GuerrillaWon> DOH
[05:39] <frogzoo> how do you change themes under beryl? I've got the theme manager open, now how to change theme?
[05:39] <GuerrillaWon> It is muted
[05:39] <GuerrillaWon> How the heck...
[05:39] <apokryphos> ubotu: beryl | frogzoo
[05:39] <ubotu> frogzoo: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[05:39] <riotkittie> GuerrillaWon:  aslamixer   ...   if there's an MM in master, youre muted. hit M to undo it. if there's a number there, just hit escape.
[05:39] <riotkittie> oh nm
[05:39] <frogzoo> apokryphos: k, thx
[05:39] <riotkittie> GuerrillaWon: :)
[05:39] <GuerrillaWon> No idea how it got muted. I swear when you're unsure of things you start acting like a 3 year old.
[05:40] <GuerrillaWon> Thanks roitkittie that's like the 9th time you've saved my butt.
[05:40] <riotkittie> glad to help ;)
[05:40] <DARKGuy> riotkittie's good at that :P
[05:41] <dwatson> Does anyone know how to set/get locale info on the system
[05:41] <kane77> how can I increase the mouse sensitivity? I want higher sensitivity without acceleration...
[05:41] <Vigo_> I thnk you kindly for the help and assistance, I am off to attempt a repair now.
[05:42] <unop> AWOSLappy, you there?
[05:42] <Enverex> kane77, Buy a better mouse quite simply
[05:42] <DARKGuy> wtf
[05:42] <parktownprawn> kane77: System>Preferences>Mouse Preferences
[05:42] <n2diy> kane77: system/pref/mouse
[05:42] <skript> how to partition my drive with the text-mode utility that is run when setting up the system ? what is this utility ? or is using fdisk the only way for text-mode partitioning ?
[05:42] <kane77> Enverex, I'm quite content with it...
[05:42] <Enverex> kane77, The mouse is what dictates how sensitive it is...
[05:42] <DARKGuy> dude, you'd laugh if I tell you I still use a ball mouse sometimes x)
[05:43] <Byan> is there an APP to see what the current CPU speed is?
[05:43] <fabiim> i'm not being able to use apt-get , due to "could not get lock .. " , i was running the graphical installer of packages and it crashed , and now i have unsolved dependencies , how do i unlock apt ?
[05:43] <kane77> Enverex, well in windows I had good sensitivity (meaning the speed)
[05:43] <n2diy> kane77: system/pref/mouse
[05:43] <xopher> I installed network-manager, and I have the applet running, but it tells me it cant detect a network? And I have my wireless connected ..
[05:43] <DARKGuy> fabiim: try to check if there's another apt process running with "ps -ax"
[05:43] <iturk> hi there is there any program for web developing like microsoft visual studio that when i open a html tab "<" i can select commands from a list ??
[05:44] <DARKGuy> fabiim: apt or dpkg, both can lock it.
[05:44] <riyonuk_> I cant get back the Human theme, I did and the borders are orange again, but the taskbar is all blue
[05:44] <Enverex> kane77, System >> Preference >> Mouse Preferences >> Motion > Sensitivity
[05:44] <kane77> n2diy, even on the highest sensitivity it's still too slow for my taste...
[05:44] <idefix> hey, who thought of the millennium change? was it you Enverex?
[05:44] <Enverex> idefix, The what?
[05:44] <n2diy> kane77: hmmm?
[05:44] <kane77> Enverex, n2diy and I dont like the acceleration...
[05:44] <idefix> the transition from 1999 to 2000
[05:44] <Enverex> kane77, If its too slow there then something is broken
[05:45] <Enverex> idefix, Why would anyone "think" of that? It just happens
[05:45] <najjstroem0050> WHAT IS THe command to see Sound card????
[05:45] <Pu1> Hi
[05:45] <fabiim> DARKGuy: tks :) solved
[05:45] <DARKGuy> fabiim: glad to have helped :)
[05:45] <PuG_> quick question, how can I force install a .deb file ?
[05:46] <n2diy> Enverex: kane77, first you said the acceleration couldn't be adjusted, which we just did, and now your saying the mouse is broken!?
[05:46] <kane77> Enverex, if I set acceleration to something higher then it.. well if i move mouse faster it moves the cursor faster... but I dont want that much of acceleration...
[05:46] <AWOSLappy> unop
[05:46] <AWOSLappy> unop can you just PM my shel acount when you

[05:46] <AWOSLappy> Did it work
[05:46] <AWOSLappy> ?
[05:46] <Enverex> n2diy, Speed shouldn't be named Sensitivity
[05:47] <Enverex> Sensitivity is DPI, nothing to do with speed
[05:47] <marshall> i have just made the directory ~/bin and put all the scripts ive made in there. as far as i understand if ~/bin exists then i should be able to run my scripts as commands but it doesnt seem to be working... any ideas?

[05:53] <brandis> hi all! does anyone know why the bittorrent tracker for ubuntu downloads isn't responding?
[05:53] <speyer> ls there a way to be able to play files with gmplayer via smb connection ?
[05:53] <speyer> mplayer does play the files
[05:53] <speyer> gmplayer not
[05:53] <brandis> smbfs?
[05:53] <AWOSDev> unop thanks
[05:53] <AWOSDev> bye!
[05:53] <speyer> any idea ?
[05:53] <unop> AWOSDev, ciao
[05:53] <AWOSDev> :D
[05:53] <unop> :)
[05:54] <speyer> brandis while im conecting via smb on my windows machine gmplayer does not play the files
[05:54] <PuG_> Wehn i try       dpkg -i | --install --force skype_debian-1.3.0.53-1_i386.debdpkg -i | --install --force skype_debian-1.3.0.53-1_i386.deb
[05:54] <MarcN> speyer: can you copy them to a local disk and play them there?  You could be missing the mp3 packages.
[05:54] <speyer> if i open a terminal and run mplayer smb://george/D/GEORGE/A.Litt...aven.2005.DVDRip.XviD-AEN.avi  works

[05:55] <PuG_> comes up with dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[05:55] <PuG_> one method is to force install for 64 bit :)
[05:55] <speyer> MarcN there is nothing missing with mplayer works with gmpayer it doenst
[05:55] <bic> huzzah, ubuntu installed
[05:55] <PuG_> problem is getting the force command to work heh
[05:55] <bic> bunt the cd with another computer
[05:55] <DARKGuy> PuG_: you need to kill the process that's locking it then
[05:55] <brandis> speyer: gmplayer may not support smb urls'; have you tried smbfs? i don't remember the details, but it's a module for mounting real mountpoints from a smb share

[05:56] <brandis> speyer: but I have not tried with gmplayer so I may be way off
[05:56] <DARKGuy> PuG_: type "ps -ax" search for something along the lines of dpkg or apt and kill it using "kill ####" (#### is a number)

[05:57] <Byan> is there a nice place to get widgets for gdesklets?
[05:58] <lasindi> Hi all, I'm trying to get a script to run at start up on Ubuntu Edgy. I'm googling all over, but all I can find are articles talking about the advantages of Upstart over sysvinit, not any tutorials on how to actually use it. Could someone help me out?
[05:58] <speyer> is there anyway of getting gmplayer with smb url files support ? libsmbclient ? or something like that
[05:58] <jrib> !upstart | lasindi
[05:58] <ubotu> lasindi: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[05:58] <brandis> lasindi: tried adding an rc script?
[05:59] <riotkittie> Byan: i know there's a gdesklets section on gnome-look.org but i'm unsure as to what it contains
[05:59] <lasindi> brandis: yes, I've done that in the past, but I'd rather use Upstart as init is being deprecated from what I understand.
[05:59] <Byan> riotkittie: it seems empty
[05:59] <riotkittie> Byan: ah :\
[05:59] <brandis> lasindi: ok
[05:59] <jrib> lasindi: the "getting started" on their site seems to have some examples
[06:00] <GuerrillaWon> Can anyone point me in the right direction that can show me how to modify my boot up so I don't have to boot from the CD? I'm only running Ubuntu so no need for a duel boot.
[06:00] <bowman> heya... anyone know a good and simple web calendar system? (NOT egroupware)
[06:00] <brandis> GuerrillaWon: Grub?
[06:00] <riotkittie> uhhhh. is CD the default option in your BiOS?
[06:00] <GuerrillaWon> I believe so brandis.
[06:01] <GuerrillaWon> The default boot loader that comes with Ubuntu is loaded, so I assume Grub.
[06:01] <brandis> GuerrillaWon: but does grub prompt show on startup?
[06:01] <riotkittie> GRUB is giving you the option to boot from CD ?
[06:02] <brandis> GuerrillaWon: or do you get "no bootable device found" from bios?
[06:02] <skvn> I just changed from winxp to ubuntu, and thought i could keep my music which is on a different partition (fat32). But now when i look at Disks Manager and partitions, it says that the partition is inaccessible. Is there anyway to make it accessible?
[06:02] <jrib> !vfat | skvn
[06:02] <ubotu> skvn: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[06:02] <skvn> thanks :)
[06:02] <GuerrillaWon> No bootable device, unless my ubuntu cd is, then I'm prompted with options and have to choose boot from first hard disk.
[06:02] <Byan> is there a way to get the a wifi icon in the tray?
[06:02] <GuerrillaWon> *ubuntu cd is in
[06:02] <jrib> skvn: see the section on permissions specifically (look for umask or fmask/dmask)
[06:02] <gaha> hello :)
[06:03] <brandis> GuerrillaWon: sounds like grub has not added a Master Boot Record for you; try  grub-install (see manpage)
[06:03] <GuerrillaWon> Ok thank you.
[06:04] <gaha> Where are you from
[06:04] <gaha> ?
[06:05] <lasindi> jrib: yes, I think the documentation on there will work. Thanks; too bad Google doesn't turn up the most obvious site for this search. :-(
[06:07] <GuerrillaWon> hmm the man pages aren't very helpfull
[06:07] <Maximilian1st> GuerrillaWon, What are you looking for?
[06:08] <riotkittie> maybe i'm just misreading but i got the impression it was a BIOS boot order issue rather than a GRUB issue ... sounds like CD is your default/only boot option
[06:08] <drja1> hello there
[06:08] <riotkittie> then again, i am running on two hours of sleep :>
[06:08] <drja1> can someone help a newbie in ubuntu with something
[06:08] <Menasim1> my ubuntu turns to be very slow sometimes
[06:08] <GuerrillaWon> Maximilian1st I'm trying to install the grub boot loader directly to my mbr so I don't need to boot with the cd.
[06:09] <Enverex> Can anyone recommend a frontend for Flightgear?
[06:09] <GuerrillaWon> Without destroying my ubuntu installation :P
[06:09] <drja1> when trying to run a ./configure i get the foollowing error : checking for gcc... gcc
[06:09] <drja1> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[06:09] <riotkittie> drja1: ask, and i'm sure that if someone knows, they'll reply
[06:09] <Maximilian1st> GuerrillaWon, you have files lying around on that installation?
[06:10] <GuerrillaWon> Yea, I'd like to not do a total reinstall, is there anyway to inject grub into the mbr without having to reinstall?
[06:10] <mgedmin> GuerrillaWon: what's currently in your mbr?  if that's the standard windows mbr, you can just make your linux partition active with fdisk, and it will boot
[06:10] <speyer> is vlc be able to play smb urls ?
[06:10] <czr> so that you might sleep better :-)
[06:10] <riotkittie> GuerrillaWon: installing grub wont hose your ubuntu install
[06:11] <drja1> checking for gcc... gcc
[06:11] <drja1> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[06:11] <Maximilian1st> drja1, have you installed build-essential

[06:13] <GuerrillaWon> How would I install grub to the mbr?
[06:13] <GuerrillaWon> Most the info I can find on grub is for duel boots etc. I apologise for bothering you with such a trivial question.
[06:13] <Enverex> GuerrillaWon, "setup (hd0)" assuming it's the first HD in the machine
[06:14] <robbo> Hi,can you help pls with gaim?... I want make icq function,but there is some problem and i dont know what!!!
[06:14] <Maximilian1st> did you enter the grub command line by just typing grub?
[06:14] <GuerrillaWon> Enverex how would I check? I'm sata, just not sure of the assigned name.
[06:14] <cinnander> Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me how I can find out which sound device has what /dev/... path?
[06:14] <Maximilian1st> GuerrillaWon, check with mount to see what's mounted or with cfdisk
[06:15] <robbo> Hi,can you help pls with gaim?... I want make icq function,but there is some problem and i dont know what!!!
[06:15] <Enverex> GuerrillaWon, Well how many HDs do you have in the machine?
[06:15] <riotkittie> hd0 sounds like a safe bet
[06:15] <riotkittie> :P
[06:16] <GuerrillaWon> 2 one sata won ide, I believe it might be on like sda
[06:16] <Administrador> hi folks

[06:17] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:17] <riotkittie> dont worry about sda/hda. grub has a different naming convention. your first hd = hd0
[06:18] <GuerrillaWon> Ok it's on sda1, what would be the proper command line.
[06:18] <GuerrillaWon> oh ok
[06:19] <Maximilian1st> GuerrillaWon, whenever you are in the grub command line you can press the tab key and it will give you all the possible hdxxx on your machine...
[06:19] <riyonuk_> http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?screen_type=1&screen_id=71486999344a9852f03839&m=screen How do I make my taskbar at the bottom like that? Like the tasks arent seperated into sections

[06:20] <riotkittie> ooh too late
[06:20] <MetalKitten> hey
[06:20] <Maximilian1st> bic, hwat does ifconfig give you as information in both cases, try that and look for the differences.
[06:20] <hexdream> How do I take the ubuntu repository (as copied off the DVD repos) and package them as a single large repository?
[06:21] <bic> ifconfig = ipconfig?
[06:21] <Maximilian1st> riotkittie, you were wondering for Guerila...
[06:21] <riotkittie> ifconfig = ifconfig
[06:21] <bic> :p
[06:22] <riotkittie> Maximilian1st: mmmhm. but he'll be back soon enough, i imagine
[06:22] <Pici> ifconfig is to linux as ipconfig is to windows
[06:22] <Maximilian1st> He will, went away very fast
[06:22] <Daemonik> Nautilus has an argument --geometry. What's the proper string to use to get it at say 0 X 0 Y 1280x1024 for example?
[06:22] <speyer> any guide to compile mplayer ?
[06:23] <Maximilian1st> bic yes, ifconfig is the name. ipconfig is for windows.
[06:23] <Maximilian1st> speyer, on the mplayer site itself maybe... Check the gentoo site, they compile everything there.
[06:24] <riotkittie> --geometry XxY ?
[06:25] <SHRIKEE> http://www.sothq.net/2007/01/17/should-microsoft-release-their-msnp-protocol/
[06:25] <hexdream>  hey all. has anybody played with dpkg-scanpackages with synaptic? Im trying to make a single large repository from multiple DVD's.
[06:25] <marshall> does anybody know how to remove or kill a bash alias?

[06:29] <ubotu> Opermax: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:29] <Opermax> I followed

[06:29] <Opermax> the howto
[06:29] <bruenig> !enter
[06:29] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:29] <Opermax> to install a rt2500 card
[06:29] <Opermax> ok
[06:30] <Valandil> join #ubuntu-fr
[06:30] <riotkittie> uh huh
[06:30] <Opermax> I followed the howto to install a rt2500 card, and even copied the driver in the right place after a hint a forum
[06:31] <guerrillawon> Failure! I got to the boot: prompt andchoked up hah
[06:31] <Opermax> it runs and the lights are working, I can see my AP and have about 86 of 100 under iwconfig when connecting, my rt2570 sends packets, recives kbs but no packages
[06:31] <mgedmin> linux1_: the plan is to make a 3d desktop easy to get (one checkbox away in the preferences) in feisty, afaik
[06:31] <guerrillawon> I typed in all type of what I thought to be setup commands but none worked and I backed out before I screwed things up.
[06:32] <mwalker_mewconsu> i have Ubuntu and Edubuntu install on my laptop, if I upgrade to Fiesty Fawn will my Edubuntu be erased?
[06:32] <Maximilian1st> guerrillawon, you went away a bit fast, we wanted to tell you you have to install the bootloader from within a working environment...
[06:33] <guerrillawon> aiye! I'm sorry.
[06:33] <linux1_> mgedwin: thanks
[06:33] <IcemanV9> Opermax: sounds like you got it working, but no Internet, right?
[06:33] <Maximilian1st> mwalker_mewconsu, you really, really don't want to upgrade to feisty yet as it is not stable.
[06:33] <bruenig> mwalker_mewconsu, so long as your format the partition with edubuntu on it
[06:33] <guerrillawon> I try not to constantly hound you with questions and like to dive in and try to figure things out for myself, which never works hah
[06:33] <bruenig> so long as you don't format*
[06:33] <KenSentMe> mwalker_mewconsu: if you upgrade by editing your sources.list to feisty no. Or do you have Edubuntu packages installed on Ubuntu?
[06:33] <linux1_> installed mandriva powerpack just to check out the 3d desktop, works pretty sweet
[06:34] <guerrillawon> Maximilian1st : I'm all ears if you're still up for the explanaition.
[06:34] <Maximilian1st> Do you have internet access guerrillawon ? go and check the grub site there are some infos there.
[06:34] <sylvain_> helo
[06:34] <sylvain_> french?
[06:34] <guerrillawon> Yea I looked but didn't find much.
[06:34] <guerrillawon> I'll try again.

[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fr sylvain_ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:34] <mwalker_mewconsu> I installed Ubuntu first, then I get an apt get Edubuntu whichwas a 210MB install, so if I update Ubuntu to Fiesty Fawn (when it becomes stable) will it override the Edubuntu files that I installed?

[06:35] <giner> Hi, All!
[06:35] <giner> Printer HP Laser Jet 1000 don't work with Ubuntu
[06:35] <giner> Anyone can help me?
[06:36] <niklas_e> is there any way to reinstall the grub on the harddiska and install it on different drives?
[06:36] <J-_> Where can I find python modules that are installed on my system?
[06:36] <bowman> giner: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1000
[06:37] <jart> what is the name of the package that contains the DBI man page?
[06:37] <speyer>  The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found).
[06:37] <speyer> how do i install them ?
[06:37] <giner> bowman: Thanx, I try
[06:38] <jart> i've searched everything i can think of and can not find these darn man pages
[06:38] <speyer> no one knows ?
[06:38] <speyer> how to install GTK devel packages ?
[06:38] <bowman> speyer: apt-cache search gtk dev
[06:39] <Menasim1_> my ubuntu turns to be very slow sometimes
[06:39] <bruenig> speyer, sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[06:39] <Maximilian1st> guerrillawon, have you checked this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[06:39] <speyer> bowman i search myself but didnt find any gtk dev or something similar
[06:39] <Maximilian1st> guerrillawon, They have a link to the super grub disk, that could be of use for you
[06:39] <nikin> speyer: libgtk2.0-dev?
[06:39] <IcemanV9> J-_: locate python |grep module (is that what you're looking for?)
[06:39] <speyer> nikin i got it now
[06:39] <kwayne> can i use edgy reporsitories with a dapper installation?
[06:39] <sp|urr> hi
[06:40] <sp|urr> after an apt-get update i rebooted, now my X is broken (edgy)
[06:40] <sp|urr> says nvidia module not found
[06:40] <sp|urr> is this known?
[06:40] <jolt_> splurr SUre is
[06:40] <kwayne> sp|urr: i guess you updated your kernel
[06:40] <Defend> hey all i compiled a new kernel but i did not make a initrd so i did not include it in grub menulist when i try to boot it i am getting not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs unkown-block(0,0) any ideas?
[06:40] <n2diy> ! nvidia | splurr:
[06:40] <ubotu> splurr:: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:40] <sp|urr> kwayne, yeah
[06:40] <nikin> spurr: i didnt got that...
[06:41] <kwayne> so, your nvidia module is not in the kernel anymore
[06:41] <LjL> sp|urr: had you installed unofficial nvidia drivers?
[06:41] <jolt_> every time you touch the kernel or X, nvidia has to be reinstalled (with updates)
[06:41] <kwayne> thus X cannot load it
[06:41] <sp|urr> kwayne, i see
[06:41] <PikAss> hi
[06:41] <sp|urr> kwayne, thank you, i will try installing nvidia..
[06:41] <kwayne> you're welcome
[06:41] <kwayne> so, can anyone take a second and answer my question please? :)
[06:42] <sp|urr> kwayne, yeah what is it
[06:42] <sp|urr> kwayne, :D
[06:42] <PikAss> i have a question ... where can i get libobrender.so.1
[06:42] <jolt_> Its a pain in the ass having to reinstall the nvidia driver.. Annoys the hell out of me
[06:42] <kwayne> can i use edgy reporsitories with a dapper installation?
[06:42] <Menasim1_> my PC beccame very slow suuddenly any solution??
[06:42] <gma> kwayne: to do what? install something or upgrade?
[06:42] <jolt_> fsck it from recovery mode might help
[06:42] <marlun> Is there a way to get syntax highlighted code when doing a "less codefile"? =)
[06:42] <kwayne> gma: to install a newer version of a package
[06:42] <sp|urr> kwayne, i come from the fedora world, so it is my understanding that you may run into serious dependency issues if you use another versions repo
[06:42] <gma> kwayne: you can try. may or may not cause a problem.
[06:42] <bowman> Menasim1_: have you had a look at system load? (top)
[06:43] <gma> kwayne: depends on the specific package and it's dependencies.
[06:43] <IcemanV9> kwayne: it might be in backport repo; check there if it exists or not.
[06:43] <gma> kwayne: you can try it and back out if it looks like you're going to install too much stuff
[06:43] <geo_> I have a general question, is it a pain to get SLI working in ubuntu?
[06:43] <gma> kwayne: but in general it's not a great idea; when you revert to your dapper repo, what happens to that package?
[06:43] <jolt_> Laughs at geo..
[06:43] <gma> kwayne: at some point in the future it'll get in your way
[06:43] <sp|urr> kwayne, there may be big dependency issues, though it is possible, but not recommended
[06:43] <sp|urr> :)
[06:43] <gma> kwayne: it's often quite easy to rebuild an edgy package for dapper though
[06:44] <geo_> that a yes then jolt?
[06:44] <kwayne> so, i better won't try
[06:44] <kwayne> :)
[06:44] <jolt_> geo.. I havent gotten it to work...
[06:44] <gma> kwayne: it can be a good learning experience!
[06:44] <gma> ;)
[06:44] <Maximilian1st> guerrillawon, Have you seen the link I posted, it definitely has valuable information for your problem.
[06:44] <kwayne> gma: reinstalling my ubuntu is an experience, too
[06:44] <[BTF] Chm0d> hey guys does anyone here use evolution?
[06:44] <kwayne> still, i don't want to do it :P
[06:44] <IcemanV9> sp|urr: it might be a good idea to create a script to install nvidia every time you update the kernel (or X), so it will be quick and painless :)
[06:44] <jolt_> i still use emacs-rmail
[06:45] <[BTF] Chm0d> is there a way i can save my info to do a fresh install and import it back in?
[06:45] <geo_> is it your setup or does everyone have issues with it?
[06:45] <Menasim1_> i donn't know whats a system lod :)
[06:45] <jolt_> geo.. Not sure.. i kinda threw in the towel for a bit on that
[06:45] <sp|urr> IcemanV9, yeah... good point
[06:45] <geo_> nice
[06:45] <jolt_> Ice.. great idea.. didnt think of making a script to reinstall the nvidia stuff..
[06:45] <jolt_> Been too long since iv done any scripting..
[06:46] <ubuntu> hey, can someone help me to reinstall grub on my mbr?

[06:48] <skvn> where can i find decoders for audio/video(mp3,mpeg,xvid,etc)?
[06:48] <LjL> benkillin: my guess would be, use the "noapic" kernel parameter on boot

[06:48] <PikAss> obrender were can i get it?

[06:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:49] <ubuntu> 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
[06:49] <Gosha> !patch
[06:49] <ubuntu> so which partition do i have to use? boot? root?
[06:49] <ubotu> patch: Apply a diff file to an original. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5.9-4 (edgy), package size 93 kB, installed size 188 kB
[06:49] <LjL> benkillin: APIC is an interrupt controlling chip if i recall correctly. PCs can work with support for it disabled, however i don't really know the exact consequences of disabling it. i have it disabled myself (couldn't boot if enabled)
[06:50] <benkillin> How do I add the "noapic" parameter to the kernel on boot?

[06:51] <kwayne> so, i just decided to upgrade my ubuntu installation
[06:51] <bicc> In the Software Preferences dialog that comes up, click the Add button.
[06:51] <bicc> i dont have an add button :o
[06:51] <kwayne> well, the packages are a few 100 mb's
[06:51] <kwayne> so
[06:51] <kwayne> is there a way to save them, just in case i have to reinstall 6.06 and re-upgrade?
[06:51] <LjL> benkillin: yes. at the GRUB menu, you can hit "e" twice to edit the command line. add "noapic" there, then "b" to boot. that will only be temporary, however
[06:51] <kwayne> so i dont have to re-download all that packages again
[06:51] <LycanNYC-work> !aiglx
[06:51] <ubotu> AIGLX (Accelerated Indirect GLX) is an open source project founded by the X.Org Foundation and the Fedora Core Linux community to allow accelerated indirect GLX rendering capabilities to X.org and DRI drivers. This allows remote X clients to get fully hardware accelerated rendering over the GLX protocol. Head to #ubuntu-xgl for support.
[06:52] <SimonLoftus> evening all
[06:52] <LjL> benkillin: once you see that it works and solves the problem, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and add the "noapic" in the kernel parameters list (where other parameters such as "slash" and "quiet" are found)
[06:52] <benkillin> Thanks for the help!
[06:52] <n2diy> kwayne: everything you have downloaded is currently archived on your hd.
[06:52] <SimonLoftus> Hey, how do I go about changing the login screen to a custom one?
[06:53] <ant__> SimonLoftus: gdmsetup
[06:53] <kwayne> n2diy: that's in /var/cache/apt/archives, right?
[06:54] <kwayne> is there a cache limit on that directory?
[06:54] <kwayne> and can i use a directory as a source for a distro upgrade?
[06:54] <n2diy> kwayne: something like that, locate *.deb would tell you for sure.
[06:55] <LjL> kwayne: hmm, i think that even if you can, you'll need to have a valid APT repository structure in that directory
[06:55] <bicc> what is the default password for root?
[06:55] <LjL> i think you should probably use ad-hoc programs for that, there are a few
[06:55] <SimonLoftus> ok dunno where gdmsetup is, but I found out how to ues the standard ones and found one i Like
[06:55] <LjL> Ubotu, tell bicc about root | bicc, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:55] <odi3> bicc the default password for root is random

[06:55] <odi3> bicc like a random set of characters
[06:55] <bicc> well how am i supposed to log in as su

[06:57] <ubotu> rexcannon: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:57] <bicc> it wants a password for sudo
[06:57] <benkillin> what file is the grub password set in?

[07:02] <KNY> eboogie, uTorrent runs fine under Wine
[07:02] <bicc> nvidia wants me to exit my x server before it will install the drivers
[07:02] <eboogie> hmm, wine, huh? hmm...
[07:02] <LjL> odi3: if it freezes before it even tried to load GRUB or Ubuntu, then i don't think it can be Ubuntu-related
[07:02] <smimp> eboogie: ktorrent's good stuff
[07:02] <kitche> bicc: yes you can't have X running when install nvidia drivers or ati
[07:02] <odi3> eboogie bittornado works for me
[07:03] <bicc> how do i turn it off?
[07:03] <kitche> bicc: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:03] <odi3> LJL, hmm ill check to see exactly how far it gets
[07:03] <KNY> eboogie: or sudo apt-get install rtorrent if you don't mine CLI

[07:07] <bic> nvidia is telling me i need my distributions libc development package to install the drivers
[07:07] <LjL> bic, why don't you just install some packaged drivers, like the ones that come in the ubuntu repositories?
[07:07] <bic> i tried doing the thing under !nvidia
[07:07] <viller> how can I make something in init.d not boot?
[07:07] <bic> but it didnt follow through
[07:08] <ellania> i got a problem when trying to install the 6.10 on a notebook it gets me that failed to start X no monitor detected anyone can help?
[07:09] <n2diy> viller: comment it out?
[07:09] <alessio> hi guys
[07:09] <LjL> bic: which part asks for libc-dev?
[07:09] <speyer> how do i use MD5SUM ?
[07:09] <riotkittie> ellania: are you having this issue with the live CD or an actual hard drive installation?
[07:09] <nimbo> !test
[07:09] <ubotu> Failed.
[07:09] <nimbo> !grub
[07:09] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:10] <stoone> speyer: man md5sum
[07:10] <ellania> the actual hard drive installation
[07:10] <andre> hello
[07:10] <ellania> i downloaded the 6.10 from the site
[07:10] <LjL> Ubotu, tell speyer about md5sum | speyer, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:10] <alessio> I don't know if this is the right place to submit my problem....
[07:10] <bic> ljl i downloadeded the driver from the nvidia website
[07:10] <deafboy> Can anyone help me a second, I  cna't remove startup programs
[07:10] <deafboy> changes won't save
[07:10] <ant__> bic: sudo apt-get install nvidi-glx nvidia-settings
[07:10] <LjL> bic: then you didn't really follow the !nvidia link, did you?
[07:11] <speyer> stoneey i get this when i run md5sum no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found
[07:11] <LjL> i don't think it tells you to do *that*
[07:11] <alessio> I have a little estetic problem with compiz... :-)
[07:11] <bic> i said that it didnt follow through
[07:11] <bic> it told me to add a repository and i dont have an add button
[07:11] <rah> hi all
[07:11] <riotkittie> ellania: in a term, type the following ((it will start an automated/guided config of X)) ...  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:11] <ant__> bic: sudo apt-get install nvidi-glx nvidia-settings
[07:11] <ellania> how about the pass for su
[07:11] <alessio> but, i think is not the right place
[07:11] <HymnToLife> speyer, you need to specify the file you want to check
[07:12] <bic> will try in 1 minute ant
[07:12] <ellania> what is the default?
[07:12] <alessio> excuse me.
[07:12] <deafboy> Can anyone help me a second, I can't get changes made to my session to stay.
[07:12] <LjL> bic: to be honest i think the repositories you need are already enabled, and that you really just need to do what ant__ just said (well, nvidia-glx, not nvidi-glx though)
[07:12] <alessio> bye ....
[07:12] <ant__> bic: then change the driver in xorg.conf
[07:12] <LjL> Ubotu, tell alessio about compiz | alessio, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:12] <riotkittie> ellania: su is irrelevant. the root account on ubuntu is locked by default. use sudo, and your password.
[07:12] <speyer> HymnToLife md5sum file.iso shoult do it
[07:12] <andre> how do i mount cd and dvd's
[07:12] <bic> ant it says thepackage is broken
[07:12] <HymnToLife> speyer, yep
[07:13] <ant__> :(

[07:14] <kitche> ellania: you have to reconfigure X probably with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the right options for your video
[07:14] <riotkittie> ellania: then youre not talking about running off of the live disc. i'm not sure if sudo on disk requires a password -- if it does, try ubuntu
[07:14] <adil> hello
[07:15] <riotkittie> by the same token, im not sure if dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will work on a live disc
[07:15] <kitche> riotkittie: it does that
[07:15] <computermc> what is a good backup utility that I can use to backup certain files/folders on my ubuntu box?
[07:15] <ellania> no i asked about the install
[07:15] <ellania> not live cd
[07:15] <kitche> ellania: livecd is the install cd unless you grab the alternate
[07:15] <bicc> heres my paste
[07:15] <bicc> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1958/
[07:15] <deafboy> Does anyone know why changes to my session won't save?
[07:15] <Enverex> hmm, I'm using TwinView but when I try and play some games it seems to center it between the two screens. How do I get it just on the ONE screen?
[07:15] <computermc> can someone give a link to good directions on how to do a backup of a ubuntu box?
[07:15] <adil> my screen keeps flickering when I start ubuntu any idea?
[07:16] <ellania> tehn i mean livecd (but isnt live cd already installed ubuntu on the cd to run by it)?
[07:16] <riotkittie> adil: ubuntu or X?
[07:16] <LjL> bicc: omit the nvidia-settings in the command
[07:16] <adil> X
[07:16] <bicc> its working...
[07:16] <LjL> bicc: nvidia-settings is really included in nvidia-glx anyway afaik, so just "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx"
[07:16] <adil> its the driver I believe
[07:16] <bicc> i think it worked
[07:16] <bicc> didnt really give a done or anything
[07:17] <ant__> bic: you still have to edit xorg.conf
[07:17] <kitche> ellania: some machines don't like the livecd until you reconfigure X I had to do that with my machine
[07:17] <bicc> is that covered in the guide?
[07:17] <riotkittie> run  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and lets see if that does get X up
[07:17] <LjL> bicc: what is covered?
[07:17] <rukuartic> Hey, are there any good WYSIWYG html editors for linux that people can recommend?
[07:17] <ellania> ok got that 2 more questions pls (livecd is different from install cd right?)
 bic: you still have to edit xorg.conf
[07:17] <LjL> bicc: anyway what you should do afterwards is type "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
[07:18] <rukuartic> ellania: It used to be, but now the livecd is the install cd.
[07:18] <LjL> bicc: right - i think nvidia-xconfig does the same thing automatically, though, without manually editing that file
[07:18] <rukuartic> ellania: When you put in the livecd, it boots up into linux, but doesn't install it to your hard drive.
[07:18] <jdolan> postgres?
[07:18] <riotkittie> ellania: the live CD is one of the install cds. there is also teh alternate install cd, which is not live
[07:18] <rukuartic> ellania: But there's an "install" icon on the desktop that will let you install it to your hard drive.
[07:18] <jdolan> hm, no bots?  what is the default database name and username to connect to a fresh postgres install?
[07:18] <bicc> i have no idea what you want me to do to my xorg.conf file
[07:19] <LjL> Ubotu, tell jdolan about bot | jdolan, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:19] <ant__> bicc: listen to LjL
[07:19] <ellania> ok so i can install ubuntu linux by the livecd and the problem of installing is solved by running the sudo command?
[07:19] <ant__> bicc: its easier
[07:19] <bicc> i did, i did the nvidia-xconfig
[07:19] <ant__> and..
[07:19] <rukuartic> ellania: I'm not sure what "the problem" is.. can you explain it to me real quick?
[07:19] <bicc> Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
[07:19] <bicc> Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
[07:19] <bicc> New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[07:19] <ant__> good
[07:19] <bicc> thats what happened
[07:19] <LjL> bicc: so? it should be alright.
[07:19] <bicc> thats it, im done?
[07:19] <LjL> bicc: yeah.. it just said it edited xorg.conf succesfully.
[07:20] <LjL> bicc: restart X
[07:20] <Hoag> Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. Is there a handler you can add to react on double clicks in gDesklet display files?
[07:20] <rukuartic> bicc: (thats ctrl+alt+backspace)
[07:20] <monad68_> good afternoon all, can anyone help me set up my tv-out on my radeon mobile 9600?
[07:20] <bicc> is there a good change that it will let me pick 1600x1200 as my resolution?
[07:20] <riotkittie> ellania: the porblem with your X server /may/ be resolved with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ... if it is solved with that, then yes you can install with the LiveCD
[07:20] <bicc> *chance
[07:20] <Popo1> Hi, last night I fixed the Firefox and PHP problem intalling Apache 2.. but how can I configured Gnome to start Apache on the startup? Do I need to install BUM or can I do it from the terminal?
[07:20] <ellania> when it boots up it i say to install ubuntu but after loading kernel ...... it comes up with a msg telling failed to start X server (reason) no monitor available (i have a notebook)
[07:20] <ant__> bicc: after restart type glxgears to test the drivers
[07:20] <LjL> bicc: if it didn't before, no. you'll probably have to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" for that
[07:21] <rukuartic> Popo1: If you want to do that, your best bet is through the terminal.
[07:21] <rukuartic> Popo1: But I wouldn't recommend running XOrg on an eneterprise/production server.
[07:21] <rukuartic> Popo1: What you need to do is look for a file in /etc/init.d called "apache2"
[07:21] <jim__> 1600x1200 isnt in my resol;ution list :(
[07:21] <rukuartic> Popo1: Then create a symbolic link in /etc/rc2.d that's something like SXX-apache2
[07:21] <jim__> can i gust edit it into my xorg.conf file?
[07:21] <Popo1> rukuartic: Yeah, I want to run Apache 2 on the starup, how can I do it?
[07:22] <LjL> bicc: if it didn't before, no. you'll probably have to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" for that <- jim__
[07:22] <LjL> !username | jim__
[07:22] <ubotu> jim__: Please prefix what you're saying with a name to avoid confusion. See !tab
[07:22] <rukuartic> Popo1: ;p I explained above.
[07:22] <ellania> when i say boot up i mean the PC booting up not the live cd
[07:22] <skript> i want to install dapper 6.06 with only simple command-line support... how is that done ?
[07:22] <Popo1> rukuartic: yeah .. cool.. thx ^^ i'll try it!
[07:22] <ellania> i am not getting past the grub /lilo ......
[07:22] <Opermax> Ok, now, does anyone know about WLAN-Cards under ubuntu?
[07:22] <riotkittie> uh.
[07:23] <LjL> Ubotu, tell opermax about wifi | opermax, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:23] <rukuartic> Popo1: Let me know if you get stuck!
[07:23] <vleon> hellow, i need to download a network driver (rt2500) as a package and move it to another pc
[07:23] <Opermax> wifi?
[07:23] <Opermax> whereat?
[07:23] <vleon> but i dont know how to dowlnload the driver and from where
[07:23] <Opermax> Hi vleon!
[07:23] <ellania> is there anywhere to download the install cd Only(is 6.06  livecd too or just install cd cause i am downloading it as we speak)?
[07:23] <LjL> Opermax: sorry?
[07:23] <Opermax> I have a rt2500, too
[07:24] <vleon> hi opermax
[07:24] <Popo1> rukuartic: sorry I'm a bit fool.. but from where to where must I have to create the link?
[07:24] <riotkittie> ok. i am totally confused here. you're using the live cd, yet having issues with grub? grub is telling you there is no screen found?
[07:24] <Opermax> hi
[07:24] <vleon> lots of people have it
[07:24] <Opermax> yes
[07:24] <Opermax> I use the serialmonkey driver
[07:24] <LjL> ellania: the Desktop CD is both a "live" environment and an installer
[07:24] <ellania> ok
[07:24] <vleon> the driver should even be installed if the card is connected during instalation
[07:24] <Popo1> rukuartic: I use locate apache2 I can't find the init.d file
[07:24] <Opermax> yes, it works so
[07:24] <vleon> but i just bought it and i dont have internet access without the card configured..
[07:25] <gma> riotkittie: did you get your fedora disk mounted okay in the end?
[07:25] <rukuartic> Popo1: If you have a file in /etc/init.d named "apache2", just go to /etc/rc2.d and type "ln -s /etc/init.d/apache2 ./S85-apache2"
[07:25] <ellania> so about the install sudo is my shot?
[07:25] <bicc> shazam, in 1600x1200
[07:25] <bicc> you guys are heroes
[07:25] <rukuartic> Popo1: Oh, hold up. Did you install apache2 through apt-get?
[07:25] <Opermax> far; I just can't get any data through; a connectionto my AP I have
[07:25] <riotkittie> gma: uhh. you must have me confused with somebody else :P
[07:25] <ant__> ellania: maybe a bad cd?
[07:25] <Popo1> rukuartic: yup. I have installed form synaptic
[07:25] <riotkittie> you are not installing sudo
[07:25] <ellania> i'll try 6.06 too but thanks
[07:25] <gma> riotkittie: possibly! sorry...
[07:25] <beniamino> just installed edgy, and find if i do ctrl-alt-f1 to get a console, then ctrl-alt-f7 again, i get a weird full-screen flashing effect. anyone know what this is?
[07:26] <monad68_> ubuntu forums search is down

[07:32] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:33] <LjL> Opermax ^^
[07:33] <Opermax> ok
[07:33] <Opermax> and then?
[07:33] <riotkittie> rockzman: of this i am not really sure. under ubuntu, i didnt have to load modules to get it to work. on my other distro, not so lucky. TRY ... ath_pci?
[07:33] <Opermax> I already used those docs
[07:33] <LjL> Opermax: and then, i have no clue. you asked if anyone knew something about wlan... the guys who wrote that page do, i guess
[07:33] <riotkittie> at worst, it doesnt work :P
[07:33] <Opermax> and tried other forums
[07:33] <PTey> hi, anyone who want's to help me installing a ventrilo server, and making it work on 6.10 ? :)
[07:33] <Imrahil> has nobody  any suggestions?
[07:33] <LjL> Opermax: then that won't be of much use to you, i suppose.
[07:33] <rockzman> riotkittie, aha i have ath_pci on my lib/modules path
[07:33] <Opermax> yes
[07:33] <rockzman> but it says module not found
[07:34] <rockzman> how can it be psosible
[07:34] <Imrahil> I'm totally confused and don't know what to do, the problem seems to be known with ubuntu 6.06 but not with edgy (what I use)
[07:34] <Opermax> IS HERE ANYPNY SAVVY ON RT2500 WLAN-Cards??!
[07:34] <riotkittie> rockzman: of that, i have no clue :\   i was really fortunate in that my wireless worked out of the box

[07:35] <riotkittie> rockzman: does prefixing modprobe with sudo make a difference? or no?
[07:36] <rockzman> riotkittie, no, actually the only difference is the result, instead of getting module not found it says operation not permitted
[07:36] <riotkittie> ohhh
[07:37] <fnord123> hi all. im trying to upgrade my recent installation, but i get an error when I run sudo. apparently it thinks some timestamp is too far in the future; this is even a problem with sudo ls. however, it doesn't seem to be based on my clock since i tried it 2 hours ago, and then again now and its the same time reported.
[07:37] <rockzman> but that is ok riotkittie

[07:37] <kwayne> does anyone know where to get a jigdo file for the edgy ubuntu i386 release?
[07:37] <kwayne> it seems like there is a jigdo for almost every release, but not for the desktop cds
[07:38] <zbogdan> hello, I have some trouble with my Ubuntu 6.06, can you provide some advice?
[07:38] <Opermax> can anyone help with my rakink Wlan-Card rt2500??

[07:40] <unvs> i've got a strange courier-imap/postfix/getmail problem. i've set it up so that getmail grabs mail from a pop3-account, passes it on to postfix which delivers to courier-imap. i can telnet to my imap server just fine, however when postfix tries to deliver it times out - even though i can connect just fine to the specified host/ip which postfix quotes in its error message. any clues?
[07:40] <plantperson> I can't seem to upgrade to Edgy
[07:40] <Opermax> vleon: try to search for packages and ubuntu
[07:41] <der0b> hey folks, it is OK to manually change the comment on a public key, or do I need to create a new key with a different comment?

[07:41] <nikin> vleon: in the apt cache

[07:41] <plantperson> can anyone tell me why I can't upgrade to edgy?

[07:42] <kitche> plantperson: what's your problem exactly?
[07:42] <linux1_> planetperson: the developers did not include upgrade capability
[07:42] <Pici> plantperson : are you getting any errors, whats happening?
[07:42] <plantperson> kitche and Pici:  the software update tool has not given me the new version message
[07:43] <kitche> plantperson: you using sudo update-manager -c
[07:43] <plantperson> yes

[07:43] <bartango> operamax - im using edgy (newbie to linux too!)
[07:43] <kiroh> hi does someone knows what this means "checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles" this is the only error when i try to compile a program
[07:43] <zbogdan> aha: I recently installed Ubuntu 6.06. First thing I did was to upgrade some recomended security packages (to .10, i guess), and then I downloaded and installed KDE, Gnome, Office, Science (most packages). Un fortunately I think I have some inconstency as I login and the system logs me out without loading any graphic enviroment (KDE, Gnome). Console login is ok!
[07:43] <frojnd> what means Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2" under section "inputDevice" (generic mouse)
[07:43] <bartango> operamax - forum said to install ndiswrapper but i cant get it to install
[07:43] <plantperson> kitche:  it claims my system is up-to-date
[07:44] <vleon> thanks!!
[07:44] <Opermax> bartango: ok ;) me, too; but did it work for you under linux once?
[07:44] <kitche> plantperson: see what version you are running
[07:44] <kitche> !version
[07:44] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[07:44] <Opermax> wifi
[07:44] <kitche> plantperson: just want to make sure that you are indeed on dapper
[07:44] <Pici> plantperson : you could try manually editing your sources.list and running a apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:45] <plantperson> how do I check which version?
[07:45] <kiroh> hi does someone knows what this means "checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles" this is the only error when i try to compile a program
[07:45] <Pici> !version | plantperson
[07:45] <ubotu> plantperson: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[07:45] <Opermax> bartango: ok  me, too; but did it work for you under linux once?
[07:46] <plantperson> !version gives the error message version: command not found
[07:46] <Lunar_Lamp> Is it possible to get perl-package-manager installed on Edgy? If so how?
[07:46] <zbogdan> I'll try
[07:46] <plantperson> as does lsb-release
[07:46] <kitche> plantperson: run lsb_release -a !version is just a swithc for ubotu
[07:46] <bic> hmm that twinview didnt work
[07:47] <plantperson> Still says 6.06
[07:47] <Opermax> does anyone know something about WLAN-Card dwl-g122 rt2570 from Ralink?
[07:47] <Khem> I have problem with sound when I log in using LDAP user account it works ok when I use local user
[07:48] <Khem> I think it must be added to audio group but how do I do that for a LDAP/NIS login  account
[07:48] <plantperson> kitche:  lsb_release still says 6.06 dapper
[07:48] <kitche> Lunar_Lamp: CPAN
[07:48] <Lunar_Lamp> kitche, what is cpan?
[07:48] <Pici> plantperson : do you mind trying to do it manually? i.e. using apt-get ?
[07:48] <kiroh> someone know about errors in compiling programs???? i am new and need a little help
[07:49] <plantperson> Pici:  that's very complicated,  is it not?
[07:49] <chazco> hi, can someone tell me to exit Gnome and drop to a console?
[07:49] <plantperson> I'm really not an advanced user yet
[07:49] <chazco> i need the RAM for a big build project
[07:49] <kitche> Lunar_Lamp: hmm it's how you get perl's modules and such it's a repo for perl modules
[07:49] <LjL> chazco: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:49] <Pici> plantperson : Method 2 of this: http://www.debianadmin.com/upgrade-ubuntu-dapper-to-ubuntu-edgy-eft.html
[07:49] <Lunar_Lamp> kitche, do you have any details?
[07:49] <Lunar_Lamp> !cpan
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cpan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <kiroh> chazco: alt+f1 or f2 or f3 ...
[07:49] <LjL> kiroh: not really, that will leave X and GNOME running
[07:49] <kitche> Lunar_Lamp: just type cpan in a terminal and it will explain it
[07:49] <chazco> not virtual terminals, fully kill it
[07:49] <Opermax> does anyone know something about WLAN-Cards under Dapper 6-06?
[07:50] <LjL> chazco: it's as i said (or sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop for that matter)
[07:50] <kiroh> LjL:hmmmm
[07:50] <LjL> guess he did
[07:50] <rogue780> is there a way to mount an image made with dd?
[07:50] <LjL> !loopback | rogue780

[07:50] <xqiu> Opermax: what wlan card are you using?
[07:50] <kiroh> LjL: then i think he must change the runlevel
[07:51] <LjL> kiroh, what's wrong with just doing what i said?
[07:51] <rogue780> LjL, thanks
[07:51] <timo> so how can one play two media players with one sound card
[07:51] <Opermax> xqiu: DWL-G122, it's a Ralink with chip: rt2570 USB; I already tried the HOWTOs
[07:51] <kitche> kiroh: ubuntu/debian runs on runlevel 2 at all times what would he change to?
[07:51] <plantperson> Pici:  how safe is the apt method?
[07:51] <kiroh> LjL: sorry i havent red it, it is ok
[07:51] <kiroh> LjL: read
[07:52] <timo> it tells me the sound is blocked
[07:52] <Pici> plantperson: the gui basically runs the apt method silently, so  it is very safe
[07:52] <kiroh> LjL: can you help me compiling a program???
[07:52] <Lunar_Lamp> kitche, tankyou
[07:52] <plantperson> Pici:  but why won't the GUI work?
[07:52] <LjL> kiroh: what's the problem?
[07:52] <kiroh> checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles
[07:52] <kiroh> LjL: checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles
[07:52] <Opermax> xqiu: DWL-G122, it's a Ralink with chip: rt2570 USB; I already tried the HOWTOs
[07:53] <kiroh> LjL: i dont know what it means
[07:53] <LjL> kiroh: that's a message from configure?
[07:53] <kiroh> LjL: yes
[07:53] <Pici> plantperson : what exactly are you typing (and where) to get into the gui update manager?
[07:53] <LjL> kiroh: and after that, it fails? is that the last message it gives before exiting?
[07:54] <plantperson> Pici:  first I did gksu "update-manager -c" like it said in the online helps
[07:54] <bartango__> operax max - im just going to give this a try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102
[07:54] <plantperson> then I tried sudo update-manager -c
[07:54] <Opermax> ok
[07:54] <kiroh> LjL: the last message is: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[07:54] <LjL> Ubotu, tell kiroh about build-essential | kiroh, see the private message from Ubotu

[07:57] <CrocoJet> I am getting some problems with amsn and edgy ? Any idea to solve ?
[07:57] <LjL> lucasvo: if you read the last part of Ubotu's statement, it says help for Feisty is to be found in #ubuntu+1 rather than here
[07:58] <LjL> kiroh: i'm trying to get IRDA (over a USB dongle) to work myself for OBEX transfers (as well as for an ircomm tty), and failing

[08:01] <thorbenk> Hello :-)
[08:01] <kiroh> LjL: realy???? im just configuring a usb-irda adapter, irdadump recognizes mi mobile, but ircp doesent work
[08:01] <thorbenk> I've got problems with Dapper and WLAN driver rt61
[08:01] <thorbenk> Does someone have this chipset
[08:01] <LjL> kiroh: same thing for me
[08:01] <kiroh> LjL: sorry im not good in english
[08:01] <Pici> smimp : upgrade prompts you to continue, so you might need to check the man pages for apt-get to bypass it, also it needs to be run as root/sudo
[08:01] <thorbenk> I've followd the tutorials to install ratech driver
[08:02] <Zambezi> Is it possible to install Ubuntu Dapper drake without using a CD or a USB-memory? Or install it almost without a CD?
[08:02] <LjL> kiroh: it was pretty clear. here, too, irdadump shows the device, but ircp (or obexftp, or irxfer, or irpsion5 since i'm using a psion...) all don't work
[08:02] <smimp> Pici: i've got some expect stuff written if worse comes to worst
[08:02] <Opermax> does anyone know something about WLAN-Cards under Dapper 6-06?
[08:02] <kiroh> LjL: ok, now im tring to install ircp-tray
[08:02] <LjL> kiroh: you get "Connecting...failed", i suppose? and, immediately if the device is not in range, while after some seconds if it's in range?
[08:03] <LjL> kiroh, i think ircp-tray will just use ircp, so if that doesn't work...
[08:03] <Hitman_R4z0r> smimp, well that's up to you, it's good to check the forums/mailing lists before upgrading major things like xorg-core or such to ensure it won't break anything vital like xgl etc.
[08:04] <kiroh> LjL: i get "Connecting...failed" immediately in the two cases
[08:04] <LjL> kiroh: hmm... but irdadump sees the device at the same time? is irda0 up (type "ifconfig", does irda0 show up?)
[08:05] <frojnd> how can I fix that: I bought a  new LCD and settings are still for the old one. like section "screen" Monitor   "ADI MS-5P+" ....
[08:06] <kiroh> LjL: yes
[08:06] <frojnd> This is important couse I wanna make the newest LCD for my default monitor, not the old one
[08:07] <kiroh> LjL: i think it is only a protocoll problem between the devices
[08:08] <LjL> kiroh: on a newsgroup, there's a suggestion to try and give a (random) IP address to the irda0 interface, such as 192.168.10.1. i tried this and it doesn't work for me, but perhaps it's worth an attempt
[08:08] <ArrenLex> frojnd: If you haven't modified your X configuration, you can run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to create a new one

[08:08] <n2diy> timo: put a . in front of it, .filename.
[08:08] <LjL> timo: yeah, but it involves changing the filename
[08:09] <ArrenLex> timo: A period is the thing that ends a sentence.<----
[08:09] <VSpike> Searching implies that it's a permissions problem, but I can't see how that would be if nothing has been changed from default.  Otherwise it would be broken for everyone
[08:09] <jrib> timo: if you want to hide it in nautilus, you can create a .hidden file and put the name in there

[08:12] <namelesss> Trunkz, do u have ubuntu ?
[08:13] <TooR4u> is there any xgl technology for linux ?
[08:13] <TooR4u> i mean any linux distribution using xgl technology?
[08:13] <Trunkz> nameless, I have 6.06
[08:13] <Trunkz> installed on vmware
[08:13] <timo> than you all it worked
[08:13] <ikonia_> n #xorg-devel
[08:13] <Trunkz> I want to do a fresh install however :p
[08:13] <LjL> kiroh: i could tell you to try with the obex tools, too, but i'm pretty sure you'd have the same problem, as i do
[08:14] <namelesss> Trunkz, so if u want to have the edgy version, u have to paste the edgy's sources.list on yours and make "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[08:14] <Trunkz> I know that method.. I dont want to do it
[08:14] <n2diy> TooR4u: google givies over a million hits for linux xgl.
[08:14] <Trunkz> breaks alot of the stuff on the system :p
[08:14] <CrocoJet> when is read file /etc/modprobe/blacklist ?
[08:14] <kiroh> LjL: what pakage must i install to get the obes tools????
[08:14] <CrocoJet> boot or modprobe command ?
[08:15] <Robbster> Trunkz: Use http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download, select the mirror you want and then download the "ubuntu-6.06.1-alternate-i386.iso   "
[08:15] <Trunkz> The iso file is big (600MB+)
[08:15] <kiroh> LjL: because i installed a pakage, but i dont understood how to use te program
[08:15] <Trunkz> I only want the netimage file, then I just download files off the webhost
[08:15] <Robbster> humm, now that I think aout it there is another image somewhere.
[08:16] <Trunkz> cheers :p
[08:16] <Robbster> Trunkz: I seem to recall that it is in the alternates CD.
[08:16] <Robbster> lets askt the google
[08:17] <Trunkz> The image file I used awhile back was around.. 8MB
[08:17] <Trunkz> not 600MB :P
[08:17] <Robbster> yeah - I know what you are after.
[08:17] <frojnd> ArrenLex: Video card's bus identifier:  Do I leave this default " PCI:1:0:0" ?
[08:17] <Trunkz> =P
[08:17] <ArrenLex> !hi > arrenlex
[08:17] <LjL> kiroh: obexftp i think...
[08:18] <LjL> kiroh: but really - it won't work. the problem is somewhere else in the actual IRDA stack
[08:18] <ArrenLex> frojnd: run the lspci command and search for your video card. It will tell you the correct PCI numbers in the first column.
[08:18] <ArrenLex> !xserver-xorg > ArrenLex
[08:18] <n2diy> Trunkz: that is the minimal disk.
[08:18] <Trunkz> n2diy, I guess thats what its called :p
[08:19] <frojnd> ArrenLex:
[08:19] <frojnd> 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb AGP Host to PCI Bridge (rev a2)
[08:19] <frojnd> 00:0e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb PCI-to-PCI Bridge (rev a2)
[08:19] <kiroh> LjL: what do you mean with stack????
[08:19] <xopher> IcemanV9, well the keyboard shortcuts work (Fn+br.up/down) But Id like to have it automated..
[08:20] <frojnd> ArrenLex: which one do I use
[08:20] <ArrenLex> frojnd: That doesn't look right.
[08:20] <LjL> kiroh: a "protocol stack". see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_stack - anyway in practice i simply meant that the problem must be in Linux's IRDA implementation, and not in the single programs (like ircp etc) one uses to transfer files
[08:20] <ArrenLex> frojnd: Pastebin the entire output of lspci, would you?
[08:21] <frojnd> ArrenLex: ok
[08:21] <IcemanV9> xopher: great. automated? can you explain bit more?
[08:21] <ellania> hi there guys again
[08:21] <ellania> same thing with sudo dpkg..... and even with 6.06

[08:26] <tuxedup> has anyone tried those ethernet over powersocket kits?  If so did you need drivers or not?
[08:26] <ricky1234567890> Please Ineed help
[08:26] <ellania> guys i have a problem when i try to install ubuntu i get the failed to start X server (reason) no monitor detected any idea?
[08:27] <ArrenLex> ellania: Sounds like you're trying to use the wrong driver. What card?
[08:27] <ArrenLex> ellania: Does it say "no monitor detected" or "no screens found"?
[08:27] <ellania> i have a notebook Ati mobility radeon x700
[08:27] <ellania> no screens found
[08:27] <frojnd> Arrenlex: maybe u know what layout for keyboard do I use if I come from slovenia
[08:27] <ArrenLex> ellania: That's totally different. Please give error messages verbatim.
[08:28] <ellania> sorry
[08:28] <ellania> no screens found
[08:28] <humbolto> what is the gnome file manager called?
[08:28] <ArrenLex> ellania: What's the output of "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -v "#" | grep driver"? Don't paste mouse, keyboard or wacom.
[08:28] <ArrenLex> humbolto: nautilus
[08:28] <ArrenLex> frojnd: Nope
[08:28] <ricky1234567890> My bcm4318 is installed right I have eveen gotten it to connect 3 times but i cant get it to conect again
[08:28] <ellania> i onlyhave one pc so i have to restart ..
[08:29] <ArrenLex> ellania: Tell you what. Are you able to boot from the liveCD?
[08:29] <humbolto> how can I browse smb shares in xfce?
[08:29] <frojnd> sers of U.S. English keyboards should enter "us".  Users of keyboards localized for other countries should generally enter their ISO  3166 country code.  E.g., France uses "fr", and Germany uses "de".
[08:29] <frojnd> where could I get this info
[08:29] <ellania> when it tries to bot i get the failed to start X server
[08:29] <ArrenLex> frojnd: What is your keyboard layout? Is it qwerty?
[08:29] <drja1> anyone know what (cannot connect to X server) means
[08:29] <ellania> and so on and then it returns me to ...
[08:30] <frojnd> ArrenLex, don't know what I have at the moment but it works fine
[08:30] <cyberix> How can I make aptitude forget all selections?
[08:30] <ellania> konole
[08:30] <ellania> konsole
[08:30] <ArrenLex> frojnd: If it works fine, don't touch that setting, then.
[08:30] <N_> name "shipit
[08:30] <frojnd> but than it would be "us"
[08:30] <frojnd> will*
[08:30] <N_> why?
[08:30] <N_> what doing
[08:31] <Byan> how do I mount an ISO?
[08:31] <humbolto> nautilus seems to be more than just the file manager. suddenly I have gnome desktop in xfce.
[08:31] <ArrenLex> ellania: If you can't get on from the liveCD, that probably means no free driver will support your card (which is odd). Which means you'd have to get ATI's own driver fglrx, I guess, which is hard to do from a terminal.
[08:31] <ArrenLex> Byan: mount -o loop <file.iso> <mountpoint>
[08:31] <jrib> humbolto: yes, start nautilus with --no-desktop.  Or change your gconf settings for nautilus
[08:31] <Byan> mountpoint? what would an example of that be?
[08:31] <Byan> err
[08:32] <ellania> so anyideas?
[08:32] <Byan> do I just stuck any place there?
[08:32] <ArrenLex> Byan: Any folder where you want your iso to appear. Maybe you want to mount it to ~/iso, or maybe /media/cdrom, or /media/iso, or any other folder you want.
[08:32] <ArrenLex> Byan: it has to exist, though
[08:32] <tuxedup> ellania:or use the vesa driver, that wil lwork with almost every card/chip in existance, it wont be quick, but it will work
[08:32] <Byan> ArrenLex: ok
[08:33] <ellania> how do i do that?
[08:33] <humbolto> how can I switch back to the ubuntu gdm theme. did that with the gnome gui but with no effect.
[08:33] <Byan> thanks
[08:34] <Robin_MacMini> 7.04 for PowerPC daily live torrent is never seeded :(

[08:36] <Robin_MacMini> jrib: How can you seed it if you can't download it :(
[08:36] <n2diy> ! version | fredl
[08:36] <ubotu> fredl: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type 'lsb_release -a' in the Terminal.
[08:36] <jrib> Robin_MacMini: I'll download from a server and then seed it, and I'll just leave it
[08:36] <kiroh> LjL: i found in a forum "i had a same problem ircp -r didn't work ... what i did was i installed ircp-tray"
[08:36] <Robin_MacMini> jrib:  wow thanks
[08:36] <Robin_MacMini>  lol

OOnce it has installed an boots to the command line enter sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  then move down to the bit saying drive and just replace what ever is there with vesa.  Tjen press ctrl+x press y to confirm save then type start x and everything should be good to go.

[08:37] <eracc> I asked this earlier but never got a reply (that I saw):
[08:37] <eracc> I could swear I saw a web page a few weeks back about creating/installing CDs for *buntu preloaded computer systems somewhere but cannot find it today. Anyone here know what I might have seen and where I might find it today?
[08:37] <fredl> ah this is why I don't get recent PHP upgrades... is there a way to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 from the command line?
[08:37] <ArrenLex> !upgrade | fredl
[08:37] <ubotu> fredl: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:38] <ellania> i hope thanks anyway
[08:38] <fredl> tnx
[08:38] <ArrenLex> frojnd: That doesn't matter. The identifier is merely a name. You can call it Fred if you want.
[08:38] <frojnd> kewl :)
[08:39] <Robin_MacMini> kewl :D
[08:39] <fredl> well, this should be fun, upgrading to 6.10 over a remote X
[08:39] <Robin_MacMini> Ubuntu rox except 1440x900 wont be set, is this fixed in feisty?

[08:40] <angelic_venus> Hello, I have a peculiar problem with edgy x86_64. After 10 minutes or so of usage, programs stop loading complaining that there is no X display. On log-out the default gnome login screen shows (not the ubuntu one) and I cannot start a new session till I reboot (when it happens again)
[08:40] <Robin_MacMini> ok
[08:40] <depinko> How is it possible to install NVIDIA drivers without kernel 386? I rather would like to install NVIDIA drivers with generic kernel
[08:40] <ArrenLex> !nvidia | depinko
[08:40] <ubotu> depinko: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:40] <ikonia_> depinko: what ubuntu version
[08:41] <depinko> ikonia_:edgy
[08:41] <ikonia_> depinko: there is only "generic" kernel in edgy
[08:41] <ArrenLex> ikonia_: No. The 386 kernel still exists for compatibility reasons.
[08:41] <fredl> JFYI, I've found a PHP/XML bug in 6.06.
[08:42] <ArrenLex> !generic | ikonia_
[08:42] <ubotu> ikonia_: 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)
[08:42] <fredl> Should I report that or is it not worth the bother?
[08:42] <ikonia_> ArrenLex: I know
[08:42] <depinko> ikonia_: hmm I've played with beryl and now I uninstalled it and I cant install back the nvidia drivers I had, because it need the 386 kernel dependency
[08:42] <Robin_MacMini> Why isn't the nvidia drivers compiled and updated in the Ubuntu repos?
[08:42] <Draconicus> Where the hell did the alternate install CD go?
[08:42] <ikonia_> Robin_MacMini: it is updated
[08:42] <Robin_MacMini> what version?
[08:42] <humbolto> I thought gnome-vfs is like a transparent file system layer, so I could play movies stored on an smb share in totem without hassle?! am I mistaken there, or why is it not working?
[08:42] <ikonia_> Robin_MacMini: what ever version thats in there
[08:42] <silfide> hello
[08:43] <ArrenLex> Robin_MacMini: Are you on dapper?
[08:43] <teitunge> I need to know which kernel I am running. Any cmd for this?
[08:43] <Robin_MacMini> ArrenLex: I was on 6.10 yesterday
[08:43] <ArrenLex> teitunge: uname -r
[08:43] <Draconicus> You guys simplified the download page and now I can't get the alternate CDs!
[08:43] <teitunge> ArrenLex: Thanks
[08:43] <Robin_MacMini> ArrenLex: The drivers was like 8x.xx
[08:43] <ArrenLex> Robin_MacMini: They are updated in the repository.
[08:44] <Robin_MacMini> 93.71? cool

[08:45] <ikonia_> Robin_MacMini: whats the problem
[08:45] <Draconicus> Well to hell with this. If you guys aren't going to provide an alternative installer I'm just gonna go grab Debian.
[08:45] <ikonia_> or do you just want a bigger number
[08:45] <ikonia_> Draconicus: off you go
[08:45] <Draconicus> ikonia_: Are there seriously no longer alternate install CDs?
[08:46] <Robin_MacMini> ikonia_: Well the new driver is faster and supports more cards
[08:46] <ArrenLex> draconius: wtf are you on? It's right there.
[08:46] <Draconicus> ArrenLex: Where?!
[08:46] <Robin_MacMini> ikonia_: And compiling the latest one is pretty hard I heard
[08:46] <ArrenLex> draconius: go to ubuntu.com
[08:46] <ikonia_> Draconicus: http://ftp.ticklers.org/releases.ubuntu.org/releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso
[08:46] <ikonia_> whats that - dolly mixtures

[08:46] <ArrenLex> draconius: click desktop-download
[08:46] <ikonia_> Robin_MacMini: faster ??? are you sure
[08:47] <ArrenLex> draconius: Go to 6.109
[08:47] <ArrenLex> 6.10
[08:47] <instabin> I have just set my ubuntu to use windows domain logins but it only works on tty 1 -6 and does not work on a gui login
[08:47] <Draconicus> ArrenLex: I just clicked "Download" Somehow the page that links to is changed.
[08:47] <ikonia_> Draconicus: that was a link of the main page
[08:47] <ikonia_> you just didn't look
[08:47] <bosco> yo
[08:47] <ArrenLex> draconius: click any mirror
[08:47] <Roscar> I'm wondering if somebody can help me out with some sound problems. More specifically, using teamspeak while playing a game with wine.
[08:47] <ArrenLex> draconius: Go to "other installation options"
[08:47] <Robin_MacMini> ikonia_: Yeah they always are :)
[08:47] <ArrenLex> draconius: voila
[08:48] <ikonia_> Robin_MacMini: thats not true
[08:48] <Roscar> has anybody here got this sort of thing working with ubuntu?
[08:48] <ikonia_> I can think of 3 occasions they where rolled back
[08:48] <Robin_MacMini> That's my experiences with GeForce 4200Ti
[08:48] <ikonia_> Roscar: thas a bit of a mess
[08:48] <Roscar> ikonia: you make me sad
[08:48] <Robin_MacMini> ikonia_: People with for example GeForce 8800 arn't supported in the drivers except 93.71
[08:48] <instabin> hello
[08:48] <jdolan> how strange.  i just installed tomcat and sun's java.  when i run tomcat's bin/startup.sh, nothing happens for at least 2 minutes.  eventually, a static http container comes up on :8180.  NOTHING at all is written to the logfile.  ./bin/shutdown.sh appears to work "normally"
[08:48] <Robin_MacMini> I hope it will be in the repos for feisty
[08:48] <Roscar> ikonia: is it a resolvible mess?
[08:48] <ikonia_> Robin_MacMini: I didn't say anything about supported cards - just sped
[08:48] <instabin> any one help with my login problem?
[08:48] <ikonia_> Roscar: not really
[08:49] <adaptr> instabin: "windows domain logins" ?
[08:49] <instabin>  adaptr
[08:49] <instabin> yes
[08:49] <Roscar> ikonia_: is it the sort of thing that's being worked by the greater linux community?
[08:49] <instabin> adaptr yes
[08:49] <ikonia_> no

[08:50] <adaptr> instabin: as an authentication mechanism ?
[08:51] <thechitowncubs> Hey, is there any way to find what groups users are in through cli
[08:51] <Robin_MacMini> ikonia_: 7.04
[08:51] <ryan_> hey, i'm having trouble with a broken package
[08:51] <ikonia_> don't use bleeding edge
[08:51] <n2diy> tiolpxe /etc/inittab
[08:51] <instabin> adaptr yes i am authenticating to a windows 2003 domain controler
[08:51] <ikonia_> thechitowncubs: id $user
[08:51] <thechitowncubs> ikonia_, thanks a lot
[08:51] <ryan_> is there a file somewhere that keeps track of what packages are installed on your system?
[08:51] <adaptr> instabin: PAM probably does X logins differently than console logins
[08:51] <tiolpxe-> n2diy it does not exist thats my point
[08:52] <ikonia_> tiolpxe are you using edgy
[08:52] <thechitowncubs> ikonia_, another question, any way to add a group to group list without erasing current groups

[08:52] <cecko> Don't yuo know how to repair Flash 9 install? I installed it while leaving FF running, reinstallation doesn't help.
[08:52] <instabin> adaptr so how would i fix it
[08:52] <adaptr> instabin: do you have a howto link, or something that explains the basics ?
[08:52] <ikonia_> tiolpxe edgy doesn't user system V init  it uses a crappy init system called upstart
[08:52] <n2diy> tiolpxe hmmm, I have it here on Dapper.
[08:52] <instabin> adaptr yes hold on
[08:52] <ikonia_> !upstart

[08:53] <ikonia_> -G is groups
[08:53] <thechitowncubs> got it

[08:54] <aalhamad> how can i configure a hotmail account on evolution?
[08:54] <Random_Transit> aalhamad...i didn't know hotmail even allowed pop access
[08:54] <Random_Transit> !apt
[08:54] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[08:54] <gnarlie> evening
[08:55] <gnarlie> are there debs for edgy that enable the patented bci stuff in freetype?
[08:55] <frojnd> arh: where can I change settings for keyboard?
[08:55] <instabin> adaptr: its an old how to for version 5.10 im using 6.10
[08:55] <frojnd> half of characters cant find
[08:55] <gnarlie> I haven't managed to get good fonts on kubuntu
[08:55] <IcemanV9> is it dangerous to replace sysinit V with upstart on Dapper system??
[08:55] <frojnd> arh=just an expression
[08:55] <aalhamad> Random_Transit: Kmail can configure it?
[08:56] <Random_Transit> aalhamad, i don't think so...as a matter of fact, i don't think microsoft likes people using external software to connect to hotmail
[08:56] <Opermax> does anyone know something about the WLAN-Card DWL-G122 rt2570?
[08:57] <Opermax> or rather: the driver works, I get a connection to the AP, but I get no connection to the Internet
[08:57] <Robin_MacMini> What will happen in the future Ubuntu 20.04 sounds weird
[08:57] <IcemanV9> Opermax: did you use dhclient?
[08:58] <adaptr> instabin: okay, and have you set up the required links to enable gdm to pass on the authentication to winbind ?
[08:58] <der0b> has anyone found a good web based address book that runs on Linux?  I would be almost free of windows if I could replace HandyAddressBook
[08:58] <instabin> adaptr dont belive so
[08:58] <Random_Transit> where is apt's package database located??
[08:58] <aalhamad> get package configure network cards
[08:58] <Opermax> IcemanV9: I used the HOWTO for my WLAN-Card
[08:58] <instabin> adaptr b/c i dont know what you mean
[08:58] <adaptr> instabin: no, that's not in that document - but X also uses authentication, and *requires* a valid user before it can fire up the X session
[08:58] <ikonia_> Random_Transit: its a none readable database
[08:58] <Random_Transit> hmm
[08:59] <Opermax> IcemanV9: and used that, too
[08:59] <instabin> adaptr so what do i do
[08:59] <IcemanV9> Opermax: ok. still no Internet?
[08:59] <Random_Transit> der0b, stikkit.com is pretty damn cool from what i hear
[08:59] <adaptr> instabin: not a clue, you'll have to do some reading for the proper gdm and/or X configuration
[08:59] <der0b> Thanks random_transit I'll check it out
[08:59] <instabin> lol
[09:00] <Opermax> IcemanV9: of course not, if it was that easy ;) joking
[09:00] <Random_Transit> ok, i'm having trouble removing a broken package
[09:00] <instabin> adaptr well thanks... maybe ill write my own tutorial for version 6.10 then
[09:00] <Random_Transit> can anyone help?
[09:00] <instabin> adaptr make it easyer for the next guy
[09:01] <ikonia_> Random_Transit: why not just ask the question
[09:01] <IcemanV9> Opermax: post ifconfig <wlan device> and iwconfig <wlan device> to pastebin pls
[09:01] <Opermax> IcemanV9: I use wpa, installed the driver, see my AP, get 96% signal, but I send packages and kbs but receive just kbs but no packages
[09:01] <Beakster> hey, im planning to install lirc on ubuntu, am i better to compile the source or use apt-get?
[09:01] <ikonia_> rather than all this "is anyone....." "can anyone......"
[09:01] <adaptr> instabin: I would be interested if you got it working, sure :)
[09:01] <ikonia_> Beakster: if you have to ask - apt-get
[09:01] <Opermax> IcemanV9: I can't right now, since I am here with Windows and my WLAN is keeping me from migrating
[09:01] <Beakster> ikonia_ im ok with installing from source, i just wondered if there were issues that are resolved by using latest version
[09:02] <IcemanV9> Opermax: then, you're one step away from success :) (i hope)
[09:02] <frojnd> hello there, where can I change settings for my keyboard layout?
[09:02] <ikonia_> Beakster: don't install from source - use apt-get
[09:02] <instabin> adaptr will keep you in mind then
[09:02] <Random_Transit> ikonia_, the conf files for a program i'm trying to uninstall got wiped, and now the package won't remove properly
[09:02] <IcemanV9> Opermax: ah. ok. hmm. you're so close to success.
[09:02] <ikonia_> Random_Transit: what are you doing to remove it
[09:02] <Random_Transit> apt-get remove packagename
[09:02] <Random_Transit> the package is vmware-player btw
[09:03] <tiolpxe-> does anyone actually know how to change to runlevel 3 by default using upstart everything im reading is people with the issue but no solutions
[09:03] <IcemanV9> Opermax: all i could think is that you need to check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure ifconfig shows that ip address IS assigned.
[09:03] <ikonia_> Random_Transit: whats the error
[09:04] <Random_Transit> ikonia_, come to #flood and i'll paste it
[09:04] <Opermax> IcemanV9: what do You mean with IP-Adress is assigned? I think, when I do iwconfig it is there, the name of AP, MAC...
[09:04] <ikonia_> Random_Transit: just stick it in a pastebin
[09:04] <Random_Transit> ok
[09:04] <kilimanjaro> I'm trying to install (xubuntu) on a SATA drive. It goes through the autoinstaller, but when the installation is complete and I reboot, grub hangs on stage 1.5. Can anybody help me with this?
[09:05] <teitunge> when I am playing music with a jack-headset plugged in, I still get sound trough my laptop-speakers. Anyone know how I can disable the laptop-speakers?
[09:05] <IcemanV9> Opermax: ifconfig will show if it is assigned or not. not iwconfig part.
[09:05] <Opermax> IcemanV9: the funny thing is though, when I type in a wrong wpa-key, I send and receive the same stuff; ok, when I am on Linuy again, I will do ifconfig
[09:05] <Random_Transit> ikonia_, http://pastebin.ca/319810
[09:06] <IcemanV9> Opermax: if ifconfig shows no ip address, then you won't have Internet.
[09:06] <cecko> IcemanV9: I am trying to install it over the FF plugin installer. i used RPM converted to Deb with alien before. hope it'll work. thx
[09:06] <nenotnom> teitunge: I've had that too, have you tried restarting you laptop?
[09:06] <kilimanjaro> I tried to configure grub manually. I start grub, then root (hd0,0) and then setup (hd0,0). The setup says that embed stage1.5 fails, but this is not fatal. I don't really know what this means...
[09:06] <stapol> anyone here know about psptoolchain
[09:06] <IcemanV9> cecko: terrific. hope it works out at the end.
[09:06] <teitunge> nenotnom: uhm, no. there should be a setting for it?
[09:07] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: what it means is that ther e is a possibilityu that grub will not work properly when you reboot
[09:07] <ikonia_> Random_Transit: man apt-get and look at the force option
[09:07] <camerong> can anyone help me get my sound set up..its not working
[09:07] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: but setup (hd0,0) will never boot grub anyway, so that's no biggie :)
[09:07] <TooR4u> cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg co -rxgl-0-0-1 xserver/xorg
[09:07] <nenotnom> teitunge: just saying, i have that prob too sometimes, and when I reboot it's fine again
[09:07] <TooR4u> how this cmd works
[09:07] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, did I do something stupid?
[09:07] <TooR4u> ?
[09:07] <TooR4u> do i have to install them
[09:08] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: do you mean you have no idea what you did ?
[09:08] <ikonia_> TooR4u: if you have to ask - no
[09:08] <nenotnom> teitunge: just a suggestion, i don't know much about audio
[09:08] <stapol> anyone here know about psptoolchain
[09:08] <TooR4u> what is the meaning of cvs -d:........
[09:08] <ikonia_> TooR4u: use the ubuntu packages
[09:08] <kilimanjaro> I'm not very familiar with grub, but I only have 2 partitions on this disk, and the second one is swap
[09:08] <teitunge> nenotnom: thanks :)
[09:08] <nenotnom> teitunge: =)
[09:08] <TooR4u> ikonia_, ohh i want to install the xgl on my box
[09:08] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: sure, but that's irrelevant - you say that you tried to install on a SATA disk, and it won't boot - which means that you've run into the SATA trap
[09:09] <TooR4u> so i am trying to install them
[09:09] <ikonia_> TooR4u: use the ubuntu packages
[09:09] <TooR4u> ikonia_,ok
[09:09] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, do I need to use --force-lba ?
[09:09] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: what you need to change is the root() setting, as well as all entries in the grub config file
[09:09] <TooR4u> then what cvs stands for?
[09:09] <Opermax> IcemanV9: I did them with sudo gedit...interfaces (auto eth0, ect.)
[09:09] <camerong> hey aplay -l returns my sound stuff and alsamixer says its up but its still not working...
[09:09] <ikonia_> TooR4u: you don't need to know. Use the ubuntu packages
[09:09] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: that stuff is *all* irrelevant, you first need to get access to the grub menu file, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:10] <TooR4u> okkkk
[09:10] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: then you need to guess what the drive will be called when grub boots
[09:10] <camerong> can anyone help me get my sound working?
[09:10] <TheInfinity> which sound? ;)
[09:10] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: but if there are also known IDE drives in the system then it will either be hd1 or hd2
[09:10] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: which one depends on how many IDE drives you have
[09:11] <camerong> Infinity: computer sound.. i have 2 speakers
[09:11] <IcemanV9> Opermax: yeah. that is fine. i think ifconfig output is the key to resolve the problem.
[09:11] <kilimanjaro> Only one drive, so there shouldn't be much guessing involved
[09:11] <TheInfinity> and which sound card? :)
[09:11] <camerong> infinity: nothing comes out of them. alsamixer is all the way up and i used modprobe snd-hda-intel to get it working
[09:11] <Opermax> IcemanV9: ok
[09:11] <camerong> infinty: snd-hda-intel
[09:12] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: well, there is a desparate trick you can try :)
[09:12] <camerong> infinity: intel high def. audio controller ICH7 family
[09:12] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, I'm desparate!
[09:12] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: boot the install CD and press "e" when the menu comes up
[09:12] <kleftisx> hello how can i automaticly update aMSN to its new version??
[09:12] <TheInfinity> hmm ... sound off/on on on?
[09:12] <camerong> Infinity: where is sound off/on
[09:12] <tiolpxe-> does anyone actually know how to change to runlevel 3 by default using upstart everything im reading is people with the issue but no solutions
[09:12] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, hold on one sec, I'll paste the relevant portions of my menu.lst
[09:13] <TheInfinity> uff ... i have kde, this should be something in the alsamixer gui for gnome too ;)
[09:13] <Random_Transit> ikonia_, i tried that, gives me the same error
[09:13] <camerong> infinity: i type alsamixer into terminal and i get blacks creen with bars.. they are all all the way up and unmuted
[09:13] <alecjw> hi. anyone know how i can set the location of my music library in listen?
[09:13] <kleftisx> hello how can i automaticly update aMSN to its new version??
[09:13] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: the first line in /etc/inittab reads: id:2:init; change the 2 to a 3 and re-init
[09:14] <TheInfinity> ah okay alsamixer konsole
[09:14] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, http://paste.lisp.org/display/35537
[09:14] <camerong> hey it works!
[09:14] <thechitowncubs> ikonia_, sorry to bother again but do you know is needed to apply the primary group change? i have changed it and it is correct in id $user, but when creating new files the primary group is not applied
[09:14] <camerong> i had to turn on all "4" speakers even though i only have 2
[09:14] <camerong> hahaha
[09:14] <camerong> sweet
[09:14] <camerong> thanks
[09:14] <camerong> cya
[09:14] <TheInfinity> *g*
[09:14] <tiolpxe-> adaptr, edgy does not use init it uses upstart
[09:14] <adaptr> thechitowncubs: you need to log in anew
[09:14] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, (hd0,0) should be right, since I only have 1 disk. And /dev/sda1 is also right, that's the only (non-swap) partition on that disk
[09:15] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: no, hd0,0 is *not* right - please man grub if you think you know
[09:15] <thechitowncubs> adaptr, ah ok thanks
[09:15] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: grub needs to be installed to the MBR in order to boot *anything*, including xubuntu
[09:16] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, it is on the mbr, since when I boot it says something about "loading stage 1.5" and then it hangs
[09:16] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: well, I have inittab - are you telling me that that does no longer work ? I *seriously* doubt it.. you have no clue how much that woul dbreak
[09:16] <tiolpxe-> lol
[09:16] <tiolpxe-> dude read what i said
[09:16] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: yes, it *was* put there by the installer, but what you did later did not overwrite the old one - you installed grub on the first partition's boot sector
[09:16] <kilimanjaro> ohh :(
[09:17] <tiolpxe-> adaptr, http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[09:17] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: I am not your "dude" (more like your dad), and I run Edgy Eft, which does include /etc/inittab
[09:18] <adaptr> are you telling me that have read the docs but they do not tell you how to change the default ? *b0rkennnn*
[09:18] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, ok, I'll try pressing 'e' on the livecd
[09:18] <tiolpxe-> ok so all of a sudden its gone from a you definately have an inittab to surely theres some docs
[09:18] <LjL> adaptr: perhaps you upgraded from Dapper? i'm pretty sure *my* edgy includes no /etc/inittab
[09:18] <tiolpxe-> adaptr, well actually there is not
[09:19] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: or, alternatively, you could try running grub again and installing to hd0 this time.. it would be a quick fix
[09:19] <adaptr> LjL: there's not "perhaps" about it :)
[09:19] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: that's not nearly what I meant - and then again, it was
[09:20] <kleftisx> hello how can i automaticly update aMSN to its new version??
[09:20] <LjL> adaptr: then yes, i think i'm telling you it's there (for you, because you upgraded and it was left there) but it doesn't in the least work
[09:20] <adaptr> LjL: good to know, if I ever wanted to edit it :)
[09:20] <tiolpxe-> so back to the point does anyone know how to actually change the runlevel
[09:21] <tiolpxe-> with upstream
[09:21] <tiolpxe-> upstart*
[09:21] <newdr> irc.azzurra.net
[09:21] <wass> hi, I would like to map the key at the the left of the '1' key to '/'  how can I do that with xmodmap ?
[09:21] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: the first thing I read on the upstart web site is that event.d holds the startup jobs
[09:21] <newdr> irc.azzurra.org
[09:21] <LjL> tiolpxe-: assuming telinit does not work?
[09:21] <melyo> bonsoir
[09:22] <LjL> newdr: please experiment in your status window, not in channels
[09:22] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: you're telling me you did not get that far ? step 2 would be reading the "rc-default" job that is in that directory
[09:22] <frojnd> what is the command again to reconfigure X ?
[09:22] <frojnd> ArrenLex gave it recentlz
[09:22] <timo> lol
[09:22] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: the first line reads: rc-default *guesses what the runlevel should be*
[09:23] <wass> anyone can help ?
[09:23] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: well, you *guess* what it does... it reads the id: from /etc/inittab
[09:23] <adaptr> that was all of 1 minute investigation, "dude"
[09:23] <tiolpxe-> adaptr, it does not read inittab at all
[09:23] <tiolpxe-> dude!
[09:24] <IcemanV9> frojnd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:24] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: yes, it does - read the file
[09:24] <InfraRed> hi all
[09:24] <InfraRed> I am having problem with ubuntu on my new laptop
[09:25] <Stolencheese> Stolencheese is here! And you know what that means folks.. It means I'm stuck! Yaaay! *applaud! Woo! Clap clap clap!*
[09:25] <InfraRed> the keyboard layout doesnt match 100%
[09:25] <D7kb> can I add 1280x1024 in my xorg.conf and it will work? heh
[09:25] <tiolpxe-> how can it read inittab when it does not exist
[09:25] <InfraRed> i have 69 keys on the laptop, with japanese layout
[09:25] <InfraRed> default JP and US and US with dead keys in ubuntu dont work
[09:25] <tiolpxe-> upstart is a complete replacement for inittab
[09:25] <InfraRed> i don't have backslash or | keys working
[09:25] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: if there is no value returned from reading inittab then it defaults to 2 - which you can *read in the file*.. sigh. .please go read the file :)
[09:25] <LjL> tiolpxe-, adaptr: i'd say telinit works as advertized, since a 'telinit 1' just brought down my whole system
[09:26] <LjL> upstart is a replacement for init
[09:26] <tiolpxe-> lol
[09:26] <Stolencheese> Does anybody here know how to make semi-transparent windows or something like that for windows that aren't currently being used or something along those lines, I've seen screenshots of it and wondered if anyone could simply explain how to do it please.
[09:26] <adaptr> LjL: yes, but that does nothig when booting
[09:26] <rexcannon> !compiz
[09:26] <LjL> adaptr: i dunno, you asked how to change the runlevel...
[09:26] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[09:26] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: if you want me to provide you with a solution *now*, "echo id:3:initdefault > /etc/inittab"
[09:26] <adaptr> LjL:  I never!
[09:26] <tiolpxe-> i did!
[09:27] <teitunge> 3~/quit
[09:27] <teitunge> whop
[09:27] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: but - as the upstart docs warn you - that may change at any moment in the future
[09:27] <niklas_e> is there any way to change runlevel to boot up in? I need to disable X to check if somthing iss wrong
[09:27] <LjL> adaptr: won't that ruin his inittab, which might have some effects, since apparently upstart still reads something from it? or is that the *only* thing it reads?
[09:27] <frojnd> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1967/
[09:27] <adaptr> LjL: he *has* no inittab, apparently edgy fresh install doesn't have it
[09:27] <ubuntu__> oii
[09:27] <frojnd> when I try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:27] <adaptr> LjL: so there will *be* no issues :)
[09:28] <LjL> adaptr: right... i supposed i mixed you two up, you're the one with an inittab
[09:28] <strabes> anyone know why when i restart my x server with ctrl+alt+backspace in edgy I see the login screen but once I login it hangs?
[09:28] <stapol> ERROR INSTALLING BINUTILS
[09:28] <LjL> !caps | stapol
[09:28] <ubotu> stapol: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:28] <adaptr> LjL: if upstart is to be a *complete* replacement then it damn well better read as little as possible, or it is just a cheap shell around init :P
[09:28] <Hailstorm> Hi all, is there a way to log in as root, I need it to install java runtime environment.
[09:28] <stapol> its c&p
[09:28] <adaptr> LjL: but all this could easily be inferred from *reading the friggin files in event.d* :)
[09:28] <MasterShrek> Hailstorm use sudo from the command line
[09:28] <LjL> adaptr, upstart doesn't use init-the-program at all... even if it did read some of the configuration files that used to belong to init, how does it make it a shell?
[09:29] <adaptr> I must admit it looks a lot simpler to understand than inittab
[09:29] <faeryNatsuki> hello boys
[09:29] <adaptr> LjL: in a manner of speaking... sigh
[09:29] <frojnd> I tryed sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but than something happened: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1967/
[09:29] <Hailstorm> No, I need to log in, program doesn't work otherwise
[09:29] <IcemanV9> frojnd: it is okay. it just had two warnings for you to know.
[09:29] <Hailstorm> I think...
[09:29] <strabes> Hailstorm: sudo -i
[09:29] <MasterShrek> Hailstorm u can enable system adminstrator login from gdmsetup
[09:29] <tiolpxe-> guys i really would't bicker about upstart its just noth worth it :D
[09:30] <LjL> adaptr, even if it did read (optionally) a lot of information from inittab, would that be so bad? i mean, backwards compatibility is usually nice to have...
[09:30] <faeryNatsuki> do you know something better than openoffice to do presentations... power point works? openoffice is too slow and had crashed 5 times in less than 20 minutes
[09:30] <strabes> Hailstorm: sudo -i will log you into a root terminal. is that what you need?
[09:30] <frojnd> IcemanV9: zes, but how can I configure x ?
[09:30] <frojnd> yex*
[09:30] <frojnd> yex*
[09:30] <Hailstorm> Yeah, thanks both of you.
[09:30] <strabes> anyone know why when i restart my x server with ctrl+alt+backspace in edgy I see the login screen but once I login it hangs?
[09:30] <frojnd> yes*
[09:30] <deafboy> frojnd: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:31] <frojnd> deafbot: thx
[09:31] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: try KOffice maybe
[09:31] <miguel> what
[09:31] <adaptr> LjL: I assume that that is the intention of the jobs that edgy comes with, yes - but apparently there is now a framework to make the inittab legacy actions obsolete
[09:31] <deafboy> lol deafboy
[09:31] <deafboy> *bot
[09:31] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: that is, KPresenter, which is the presentation part
[09:31] <deafboy> anyone know how to get the sessions manager as root?
[09:31] <deafboy> changes i make don't stay changed
[09:32] <miguel> what the hell... where am I?
[09:32] <wass> hi, I would like to map the key at the the left of the '1' key to '/'  how can I do that with xmodmap ? any help will be appreciated
[09:32] <faeryNatsuki> LjL: and KOffice let me export it to ppt?
[09:32] <D7kb> I added "1280x1024" to the screens section, but its still using 1024x768, whats the deal?
[09:32] <IcemanV9> miguel: #ubuntu
[09:32] <miguel> ?
[09:32] <deafboy> wass: you can do it with "keyboard shortcuts" in gnome
[09:32] <LjL> adaptr: that is, remove support for them? well, in an ideal world, before doing that, a framework should be provided to automatically *port* things that people have customized in /etc/inittab to the new system.
[09:32] <LjL> though it's not quite an ideal world
[09:32] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: it sure will
[09:32] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: I'm not bickering.. much; you just go run at level 3 now, dya hear ?
[09:32] <miguel> heeeeyyy
[09:32] <miguel> here..
[09:32] <LjL> Ubotu, tell miguel about ubuntu | miguel, see the private message from Ubotu
[09:32] <wass> deafboy : I can access gnome  since my xorg.conf file is screwed
[09:32] <miguel> here... here
[09:33] <Guest796> in rsync when I try to send a file from a local machine to a remote host I keep getting mkdir permission denied errors returned from the server... I have checked permissions on the remote server and rsync is running as a daemon as root for testing purposes.... any ideas?
[09:33] <LjL> miguel: you're in the official Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu, on the Freenode network.
[09:33] <adaptr> LjL: I guess that's what they plan on.. but for now, if you remove inittab you get runlevel 2 :)
[09:33] <faeryNatsuki> thanks LjL
[09:33] <faeryNatsuki> :)
[09:33] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: you still here ?
[09:33] <miguel> ahhh
[09:33] <deafboy> wass: then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:33] <miguel> of course.
[09:33] <Guest796> anyone?
[09:33] <tiolpxe-> adaptr, certainly am
[09:34] <miguel> so.. is anyone from spain or south america?
[09:34] <AlexC_> Hey,
[09:34] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: open up /etc/event.d/rc-default and change the "2" in the catchall line to a "3" - that will start in runlevel 3 on the next reboot
[09:34] <wass> deafboy : wont it be easier if I just map the '/' char to a key ?
[09:34] <AlexC_> miguel: #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:34] <IcemanV9> !es | miguel
[09:34] <ubotu> miguel: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[09:34] <deafboy> wass: isn't the '/' char already mapped to a key
[09:34] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: wait, sorry, i take it back... weirdly enough, i do *not* seem to see a PowerPoint output filter in KPresenter. i'd have bet it was there
[09:34] <AlexC_> How can I make a directory, say /home/secure-user that not even root has access to? I want it purely so that only the user "secure-user" has access to /home/secure-user
[09:34] <miguel> jajajaj
[09:34] <adaptr> AlexC_: not possible
[09:34] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: it can load them apparently, but not save
[09:35] <wass> deafboy : no it isn't  I dunno why
[09:35] <miguel> I only want to use msm..
[09:35] <D7kb> I added "1280x1024" to the screens section, but its still using 1024x768, whats the deal?
[09:35] <tiolpxe-> adaptr, cheers i'll try that i personally would have looked for a 5 to a 3
[09:35] <deafboy> wass: maybe it's using the wrong keryboard setup
[09:35] <wass> at least, I can't find where it is since I tried all the ways possible
[09:35] <LjL> adaptr: if you install edgy from scratch, there is no inittab to remove at all - and yes, it runs in rl 2
[09:35] <strabes> D7kb: have you installed the newest video card drivers? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video
[09:35] <adaptr> tiolpxe-: debian ( and hence *buntu) has always used level 2 for all multiuser logins - I was used to 5 as well, with Red Hat
[09:35] <AlexC_> adaptr: I see. It's just i'm about to make my home box a web server and I have some files I really don't want to risk loosing, or geting stolen. So I thought if I made it so only that user, a different user to what I normally use, only had access it would make it secure
[09:35] <deafboy> D7kb: "ctrl+alt+backspace"
[09:35] <D7kb> deafboy: did that
[09:36] <wass> deafboy : all the other keys are just PERFECT ... there's only the '/' key  wrong
[09:36] <miguel> '}
[09:36] <timo> can wine be installed by doing 2sudo apt-get install wine
[09:36] <adaptr> LjL: I know, but many people - lik emyself - have upgraded, and presumably upstart will never *remove* inittab, since it does not know if it has been changed manually
[09:36] <LjL> timo: yes
[09:36] <deafboy> D7kb did you put it the write section, aka under 24 bit color?
[09:36] <tiolpxe-> right gonna reboot be back in a few mins
[09:36] <D7kb> deafboy: I put it under all of them
[09:36] <tiolpxe-> adaptr,  thnx again
[09:36] <deafboy> wass: sorry bud don't know what to tell you, i would still do a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg)
[09:36] <adaptr> AlexC_: if you want your personal files absoluetly safe, do *not* put them on a web server
[09:37] <deafboy> D7kb: what driver are you using?
[09:37] <adaptr> tioand there's no "trying" about it - believe me :)
[09:37] <faeryNatsuki> LjL... there's no ppt exporter in Kpresenter? :'(
[09:37] <timo> LjL:surprise suprise E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[09:37] <adaptr> faeryNatsuki: there would be in openoffice
[09:37] <deafboy> Ljl: do you know how to obtain root access in the sessions manager?
[09:37] <LjL> adaptr: which is reasonable enough... however, the *only* thing it seems to look for is the default runlevel, so if you change any *other* things manually, they would would discarded anyway
[09:37] <faeryNatsuki> but if ic ant make it in open-whatever- and then open in openoffice just to export is good enough for me :)
[09:37] <LjL> timo: then enable universe
[09:37] <LjL> Ubotu, tell timo about repositories | timo, see the private message from Ubotu
[09:38] <LjL> Ubotu, tell timo about packages | timo, see the private message from Ubotu
[09:38] <adaptr> LjL: that is only in rc-default - haven't looked at the other files yet
[09:38] <D7kb> deafboy: it apears I am using via, perhaps I should use openchrome
[09:38] <HardDisk_WP> hello
[09:38] <faeryNatsuki> but openoffice is craching a lot, i can't continue working in this way
[09:38] <faeryNatsuki> :S
[09:38] <D7kb> is openchrome included in ubuntu?
[09:38] <timo> thank you
[09:38] <LjL> adaptr: i've done a grep -R inittab /etc/event.d/*, and it only appears there and in rcS-sulogin
[09:38] <HardDisk_WP> i heard you have dx9 / 10 libs for WINE
[09:38] <deafboy> D7Kb: what is your card?
[09:38] <AlexC_> adaptr: the files wont be in the web server directory, they will still live in /home/alex
[09:38] <LjL> adaptr: (where it does the same thing)
[09:38] <HardDisk_WP> any way to use them @ debian??
[09:38] <D7kb> deafboy: via epia onboard thing
[09:38] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: apparently not. that surprises me...
[09:38] <timo> wine for 64 systems
[09:38] <deafboy> D7kb: I'd say changing your graphics driver, do you know how you broke X?
[09:39] <D7kb> deafboy: I didn't break it, I'm trying to make it better
[09:39] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: you can still always (at least in theory) work in KPresenter, save as OpenDocument, and then load it in OpenOffice and save as PowerPoint
[09:39] <HardDisk_WP> tim__b, only for 64bit? no dx9 for 32bit?
[09:39] <LjL> faeryNatsuki: seems a bit 1) annoying and 2) prone to conversion problems though
[09:39] <kleftisx> hello how can i a update aMSN to its new version 0,96??
[09:39] <deafboy> does anyone know how to gain root access in the session manager under gnome?
[09:39] <faeryNatsuki> thanks LjL i'll give it a try
[09:39] <HardDisk_WP> s/tim__b/timo

[09:40] <HardDisk_WP> o_O
[09:40] <rabid_emu> deafbou: open it from terminal with gksudo?
[09:40] <tim__b> wahhh, to highlights, HardDisk_WP watch you nick completer ;)
[09:40] <tim__b> *two
[09:40] <deafboy> rabid_emu: what's the name of it then lol?
[09:40] <HardDisk_WP> tim__b, sry...
[09:40] <tim__b> np
[09:40] <deafboy> rabid_emu: i have no idea :( lol
[09:40] <rabid_emu> deafboy, not sure, apropos session-manager maybe?
[09:41] <adaptr> LjL: I concur :)
[09:41] <timo>  HardDisk_WP:
[09:41] <HardDisk_WP> timo, ya?
[09:41] <adaptr> AlexC_: then why do you need the files on there ?
[09:41] <rabid_emu> deafboy: I'm willing to bet it's something like gnome-session-manager
[09:42] <adaptr> AlexC_: and if you own the machine, why not store them in root's home directory - chmod them to 0000
[09:42] <timo> HardDisk_WP: who are you
[09:42] <deafboy> rabid_emu: just tried it and it wouldn't open
[09:42] <AlexC_> adaptr: that's a good idea,
[09:42] <HardDisk_WP> timo, a Debian user
[09:42] <cherva> i have a little very annoying problem... in all linux distros I've used all can play sound from only one source (ex. amarok and cant call on skype or no sound when playing flash file) is this fixable ???
[09:42] <D7kb> hmm, how do I get openchrome to work?
[09:42] <deafboy> rabid_emu: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[09:42] <deafboy> ** (gnome-session-properties:10970): CRITICAL **: gsm_protocol_new: assertion `GNOME_CLIENT_CONNECTED (gnome_client)' failed
[09:42] <adaptr> AlexC_: how do you intend to access these files ?
[09:43] <AlexC_> adaptr: through a simple web interface,
[09:43] <deafboy> rabid_emu: what im wondering is why when i make changes to the session manager is that they don't stay, and i can't remove the programs in there
[09:43] <Akuma_> how can i get a list of hardware specs?
[09:43] <adaptr> AlexC_: you can't, unless they *are* accessible with apache - which you said they won't be
[09:43] <adaptr> AlexC_: you're asking for the logically impossible
[09:43] <frojnd> Experienced users can use any variant supported by the selected XKB layout.  If the xkeyboard-config package has been unpacked, see   
[09:43] <frojnd>    the /etc/X11/xkb/symbols directory for the file corresponding to your selected layout for available variants.
[09:43] <rabid_emu> deafboy: got me, sorry.
[09:44] <fnord123> hi all. i have some driver issues, i think. my audio has a buzzing in it. is there an automated way to have something like synaptic look online for a more appropriate driver?
[09:44] <frojnd> I entered /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/si
[09:44] <AlexC_> adaptr: the files I want to host are non-personal/important. But I do have important files in /home/alex - I just don't want to risk someone hacking into my box and somehow getting access to /home/alex and deleting them
[09:44] <deafboy> rabid_emu: damn lol
[09:44] <frojnd> and what am I looking for
[09:44] <fnord123> also, my video is choppy. i suspect my video driver is suboptimal
[09:44] <timo> HardDisk_WP: philosophers what to know , "who are you"
[09:44] <deafboy> rabid_emu: this is the only problem i have left with ubuntu lol
[09:44] <darklinuc> ping all
[09:45] <HardDisk_WP> timo, ??
[09:45] <rabid_emu> deafboy: run 'locate sessions', there's some directory that contains config files for sessions that you can edit
[09:45] <frojnd> Experienced users can use any variant supported by the selected XKB layout.  If the xkeyboard-config package has been unpacked, seethe /etc/X11/xkb/symbols directory for the file corresponding to your selected layout for available variants.    I eneterd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/si couse I an from slovenia... now I am in si file and what am I looking for?
[09:46] <timo> HardDisk_WP:i missed that , dabian user you say
[09:46] <HardDisk_WP> timo, ya
[09:46] <chris1932> Hi all -- does anyone have Flash 9 working in Firefox? I have flashplugin-nonfree v. 9 installed through Synaptic, but am still having problems.

[09:47] <chris1932> hi ben_m: what packages do you have installed?
[09:47] <wass> kleftisx : www.amsn-project.com   download it and install it
[09:47] <timo> hows debian these days

[09:48] <__Sean> If a file is set to read only though windows, can I take read only off through linux>
[09:48] <tiolpxe> adaptr, tried getting it to boot to runlevel 3 but it came straight back to the gdm
[09:48] <rabid_emu> I hate that there is no runlevel 3 in ubuntu

[09:49] <jethro_> Trying to use gksu to open a gui app as another user.  This works for root, but not for another user.  I used to use gksuexec but that isn't available in 6.10.  The -d option shows that it is trying to open the app but gets X Can't open display errors.  I also notice that it asks for my password while gksuexec used to ask for the other user's password.  Any ideas?
[09:49] <chris1932> ben_m: thanks for the answer. is there anything else? my flashplugin-nonfree works initially, but then i restart firefox and i'm back to Flash 7. flasplugin-nonfree still shows up as installed in Synaptic, though. Is there some other additional plugin that you know of?
[09:50] <gh0st> hello, i kind of messed up my sources.list and didn't backup, so ANYONE CAN GIVE ME A CLEAN SOURCES.LIST? thanks!
[09:50] <ben_m> I think you have to move the flashplayer in the correct plugin folder or something ...
[09:50] <JamesG> Speaking of flash 9, does anyone know any sites which specifically don't work unless you have 9? Would be nice to check to see it working properly.
[09:50] <rabid_emu> chris: uninstall flashplugin-nonfree, then go to something like youtube and it'll tell you to install a flashplayer from adobe's site.  that way works great for me
[09:50] <up365> -
[09:50] <ben_m> www.gotoandlearn.com needs flashplayer > 7
[09:50] <wolfwalker> Anyone have an answer on the tracker question?
[09:50] <arron> Hello I need help
[09:50] <chris1932> JamesG: try this site (it's sweet, btw): http://simplisticsmovielinks.blogspot.com/2006/12/van-wilder.html
[09:51] <adaptr> tiolpxe: yes - why ?
[09:51] <darklinux> testing
[09:51] <darklinux> crul
[09:51] <arron> when i try install anything it says broken package and when i try fix it it says it cant
[09:51] <rabid_emu> downloading flash9 from adobe for linux will do it
[09:51] <Squee-D> Hey guys, is there a good guide for building pre-bundled install cd's for ubuntu? I want to build our app servers from a cd with a copy of our software and all dependant packages.
[09:51] <ben_m> chris1932 maybe this helps you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashPlayer9?highlight=%28Flash%29
[09:51] <arron> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[09:51] <arron>   libfontconfig1: Depends: fontconfig-config (= 2.3.2-7ubuntu2) but 2.4.1-2 is installed
[09:52] <deafboy> rabid_emu: can you delete startup programs in your startup manager?
[09:52] <benkillin> My 6.10 Server install isn't picking up DNS anymore, it won't resolve hosts anymore. how do I fix it?
[09:52] <deafboy> rabid_emu: it won't let me
[09:52] <adaptr> !ubiquity | Squee-D
[09:52] <ubotu> ubiquity: Ubuntu live CD installer. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.5 (edgy), package size 1594 kB, installed size 6188 kB
[09:52] <rabid_emu> deafboy: you should be able to, yes
[09:52] <JamesG> ben_m: Huh, cool site. Thanks for the link. Works fine.. and rmb -> menu shows flash 9 as the version.
[09:52] <chris1932> thanks rabid_emu! i'll give that a shot. thanks for the link, ben_m.
[09:52] <deafboy> deafboy: I can't delete 4 out of the 5 programs
[09:52] <deafboy> lol
[09:52] <ben_m> :)
[09:52] <deafboy> rabid_emu: I can't delete 4 out of the 5 programs
[09:52] <adaptr> Squee-D: there's also a package that lets you build the livecd structure; can't remember the name right now
[09:53] <wolfwalker> Squee-D: Just download the .iso file and burn it off as an image disc
[09:53] <killux> i tried vlc totem and mplayer and nothing can play an avi file i have
[09:53] <Taime1> do i need to uninstall the old flash plugin to install a new one from adobe's site?
[09:53] <killux> any help?
[09:53] <darklinux> any help?
[09:53] <Taime1> i have the same problem killux
[09:53] <adaptr> wolfwalker: did you even read his question ?
[09:53] <rabid_emu> Taimel, yes
[09:53] <ben_m> killux what exactly is the error?
[09:53] <deafboy> killux: install codecs
[09:53] <killux> deafboy:how?
[09:54] <darklinux> u need codec
[09:54] <deafboy> rabid_emu: can you mess with ALL of yours, i can't edit or delete any
[09:54] <ben_m> VLC has most codecs built-in.
[09:54] <darklinux> plus most avi is devx
[09:54] <darklinux> u need codec
[09:54] <killux> yea VLC can only play the avi sound
[09:54] <ben_m> aah
[09:54] <killux> no video
[09:54] <rabid_emu> deafboy: not sure tbh, I'm running kubuntu feisty right now so I can't test it atm
[09:54] <gh0st> hello, i kind of messed up my sources.list and didn't backup, so ANYONE CAN GIVE ME A CLEAN SOURCES.LIST? thanks!
[09:54] <ben_m> Try open the video twice.
[09:54] <killux> ben_m?
[09:54] <ben_m> yea
[09:54] <AlexC_> I've just set up LAMP on my box, it all works fine (I can access it localy by going to http://localhost) but if I try my real IP I just get "Unable to connect" in firefox, why is this?
[09:54] <gh0st> can post it in pastebin
[09:54] <Taime1> do i need to uninstall the old flash plugin to install a new one from adobe's site?
[09:54] <ben_m> Open the video twice.
[09:54] <darklinux> wait u can use easy ubuntu
[09:54] <ben_m> One should have an image.
[09:54] <deafboy> rabid_emu: do you know where to manager users in gnome?
[09:54] <FlyingSquirrel32> I always access file shares on windows computers in nautilus like this: smb://domain;username@computer/share  is there a way I can get it to use a certain domain, username and password by default?
[09:55] <darklinux> it helps
[09:55] <rabid_emu> Taimel: yeah uninstall the one from the repos before installing flash9 from adobe
[09:55] <Squee-D> adaptr thanks for the pointers, wolfwalker im not sure you paid any attention to my question :)
[09:55] <rabid_emu> deafboy: it's in admin-> users + groups right?
[09:55] <benkillin> I figured out my problem: something overwrote my /etc/resolv.conf so I put in the servers again
[09:55] <Taime1> well, actually rabid, i currently have an adobe one installed
[09:55] <darklinux> defian premissions
[09:55] <Vluid> AlexC_: good firewall
[09:55] <rabid_emu> Taimel: which version
[09:55] <Taime1> so should the new one just take care of the old one?
[09:55] <killux> no luck
[09:55] <rabid_emu> probably
[09:55] <Taime1> beta2
[09:55] <ben_m> hmm, works for me.
[09:55] <Taime1> didnt final come out today or yesterday?
[09:56] <AlexC_> Vluid: hehe, I am behind a router .... I take it that's why?
[09:56] <wolfwalker> Squee-D: Fair trade, nobody could answer mine either :/ Sorry bout that though, I thought you were asking how to make an image cd of ubuntu.
[09:56] <adaptr> AlexC_: what do you mean by "real IP " ?
[09:56] <killux> ben_m like open it then open another vlc and open the same file?
[09:56] <ben_m> yes.
[09:56] <darklinux> no dhcp
[09:56] <killux> did it no luck
[09:56] <AlexC_> adaptr: like 86.128.***.***
[09:56] <darklinux> simple and easy
[09:56] <ben_m> works for me :(
[09:56] <wick2o> hello
[09:56] <deafboy> rabid_emu: yeah it is, I'm dumb lol
[09:57] <Taime1> killux, ben_m, i have all codecs installed, and i cant get any player on my box to play avi files
[09:57] <wick2o> anyone know of a tool that will watch your logs for specific stuff and then fire off an event?
[09:57] <rabid_emu> Taimel: totem plays avi
[09:57] <Taime1> not on my box
[09:57] <wick2o> ive tried grep, but once that event fires once, it will ALWAYS fire each time you grep
[09:57] <ben_m> Taime1 you could try open 2 VLCs too :)
[09:57] <killux> not on my box either
[09:57] <Taime1> actually, no
[09:57] <Taime1> lemme give it a go
[09:57] <killux> how do install the codecs?
[09:57] <__Sean> How do I set read only files set as so from windows as non-read only?
[09:57] <AlexC_> adaptr: I got it working. I added port 80 in my "Special Applications" section of my router config
[09:57] <larr1> It appears that the current version of firefox supported under the 6.06 distribution is 1.5.  I need to upgrade to 1.8 or higher for some tax preparation software I want to run  Can I do that easily with ubuntu 6.06 or should I simply upgrade to 6.10 which comes standard with firefox 2.0?
[09:58] <JamesG> wick2o: I use a program called logsurfer
[09:58] <AlexC_> adaptr: not sure if that is secure? should be shouldn't it?

[09:58] <Stargazers> Hi. I upgraded just to Feisty and now my X server won't start. I can't use driver 'nvidia' because there is no kernel module for it (and compiling it won't work) and 'nv' driver always makes my computer hang up (like in edgy and dapper etc). My card is NVidia GeForce MX 440. Any ideas?
[09:58] <killux> Taime1 ok
[09:58] <bigfuzzyjesus> i cant get my nvidia card to work, x server tries to load the intel grafix chip, then cant find it, and gives up, i can get cmd but not xserver
[09:59] <JamesG> wick2o: logsurfer will take care of the log event part.. assuming you have a means to send SMS, it should be pretty easy to do.

[09:59] <Stargazers> jens_: Oh.
[09:59] <wolfwalker> .............
[09:59] <AlexC_> adaptr: hehe, I whacked my routers firewall to high and it blocked IRC >< - unblocking por80 should be ok shouldn't it?
[09:59] <Stargazers> How you made it work?

[10:00] <ben_m> cj_ search in the rc.local file
[10:00] <faeryNatsuki> !ppt
[10:00] <rabid_emu> cj_: start in recovery mode is the easiest way but that'll put you into a root account immediately
[10:00] <Vluid> AlexC_: you should allow _outgoing_ connections. only incoming should be restricted
[10:00] <cj_> what should i add to it?
[10:00] <Taime1> one sec, killux
[10:00] <__Sean> How do I set read only files set as so from windows as non-read only?
[10:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ppt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:00] <ben_m> Maybe there's an entry that starts X/kdm

[10:01] <AlexC_> Vluid: Ok, I shall do that instea
[10:01] <graft> hey, anyone in here use netcat for forwarding ssh connections?
[10:01] <rabid_emu> deafboy: odd, sorry I can't really help
[10:01] <wolfwalker> !openoffice
[10:01] <LjL> cj_: update-rc.d gdm remove, i think
[10:01] <ubotu> a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components.  To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org
[10:01] <Keneo> I just used the script, and it worked
[10:01] <Taime1> killux, go to download on the left
[10:01] <andrel> how do i add subtitles (.srt) to an .avi with totem?
[10:01] <LjL> !msg the bot | faeryNatsuki
[10:01] <ubotu> faeryNatsuki: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[10:01] <Stargazers> Keneo: Let me see.
[10:01] <Keneo> ( I got the x server to start with the nv driver first, to use a gui to install it
[10:02] <faeryNatsuki> i need an alternative to openoffice because openoffice it's slower and unstable
[10:02] <Taime1> scroll down till you find binary codec packages section,
[10:02] <whatspy> hi, quick question: how to restart vsftpd to 'digest' the new config file ?
[10:02] <wolfwalker> Thanks LjL, I didn't know about that one
[10:02] <graft> andrel: use mplayer?
[10:02] <Stargazers> Keneo: You have Feisty?
[10:02] <Taime1> then click on the package that applies to your system
[10:02] <JamesG> whatspy: kill -HUP perhaps?
[10:02] <Keneo> Stargazers, the drawback is that it will install bery to
[10:02] <Keneo> no, edgy
[10:02] <Vluid> AlexC_: i would restrict only services like samba etc for outgoing interface
[10:02] <faeryNatsuki> koffice it's not msoffice compatible, then i can't use it
[10:02] <Keneo> ow
[10:02] <Stargazers> Keneo: Oh... but I have feisty ^^
[10:02] <Keneo> you are talking about feisty :p
[10:02] <Keneo> sry
[10:02] <Stargazers> And after that it crashed.
[10:02] <Stargazers> Yep :)
[10:02] <Stargazers> No problem.
[10:02] <Stargazers> =)
[10:02] <__Sean> How do I set read only files set as so from windows as non-read only?
[10:02] <killux> Taime1: ok
[10:03] <andrel> graft: ok.but i can only add the subtitles on command line?
[10:03] <phiqtion> anybody knows where i can get quality icons from in png or svg format?
[10:03] <Taime1> when that files downloads, install it
[10:03] <jethro_> Trying to use gksu to open a gui app as another user. This works for root, but not for another user. I used to use gksuexec but that isn't available in 6.10. The -d option shows that it is trying to open the app but gets X Can't open display errors. I also notice that it asks for my password while gksuexec used to ask for the other user's password. Any help?
[10:03] <Keneo> but I had the problem after fresh install of edgy
[10:03] <Keneo> and installing nvidia drivers
[10:03] <graft> andrel: no, if it has the same base name as the movie, it'll pick it up automatically... e.g., Film.avi will look for Film.sub or Film.srt in the same directory
[10:03] <adaptr> AlexC_: does the router assign that public IP to your computer ? or do you have a NATted address inside ?
[10:03] <andrel> graft: ok, thanks i will try that
[10:04] <Stargazers> Keneo: Well, I hadn't any problems in Edgy with NVidia.
[10:04] <cj_> rabid_emu : what do i add to rc.local?
[10:04] <killux> install it how
[10:04] <graft> andrel: err sorry has to be .sub, not .srt
[10:04] <__Sean> Who do I change something which is Read Only for root (windows files) into Read and Write?
[10:04] <__Sean> How do I change something which is Read Only for root (windows files) into Read and Write?
[10:04] <graft> __Sean: man chmod
[10:04] <rabid_emu> cj_: as far as I know runlevel 3 doesn't work in ubuntu.  the only way I know to boot without starting X is in runlevel 2, which is also 'recovery mode' in grub
[10:05] <andrel> graft: can i just change the extension or won't that work?
[10:05] <graft> __Sean: what are you trying to change?
[10:05] <freshburn> does anyone use the linuxant HSF drivers?
[10:05] <graft> andrel: nah, you can just change the extension, it'll work fine
[10:05] <andrel> graft: ok thanks :)
[10:05] <__Sean> ./windows/system32/config
[10:05] <cj_> rebid_emu so add the RunLevel 2 to rc.local
[10:05] <__Sean> all of those to read and write for all
[10:05] <Stargazers> Let me see... ->
[10:05] <faeryNatsuki> help me please
[10:05] <LjL> what the heck you're talking about about runlevel 2...
[10:05] <xwatch> runlevel 3 works for me
[10:05] <__Sean> because my windows is getting an error, and that is the solution ( i think)
[10:05] <graft> __Sean: i suspect it's read-only because it's mounted read-only, right?
[10:06] <__Sean> I guess so? (linux noob)
[10:06] <rabid_emu> xwatch: and how do you start runlevel 3?
[10:06] <Taime1> was someone lying to me when they told me flash 9 final came out today?
[10:06] <__Sean> I can't even run the windows disk to restore
[10:06] <graft> __Sean: i wouldn't try to fix windows by messing with the mounted filesystem in linux... not likely to help
[10:06] <faeryNatsuki> i need an alternative to power point, not openoffice.org, not koffice, able to export ppt files, do you know any?
[10:06] <__Sean> well I have no other options
[10:07] <arron> hello
[10:07] <__Sean> cant boot regularly, into safe mode, or restore via CD
[10:07] <cj_> Where would i add the Runlevel 2/3? In grub?
[10:07] <andrel> graft: it works :) thank you. do you know maybe a site with some useful mplayer tips and commands?
[10:07] <mister_roboto> faeryNatsuki: just curious... why not openoffice? works pretty well
[10:07] <arron> synaptic says i have a broken package and it can't fix it how can i fix it myself?
[10:07] <graft> andrel: nope not off the top of my head... the mplayer man page is pretty good though
[10:07] <rabid_emu> cj_: /boot/grub/menu.lst is probably what you want to edit, assuming you have grub
[10:07] <xwatch> install sysv-rc-conf, remove gdm from startup, add grub entry
[10:08] <cj_> ok
[10:08] <phiqtion> anybody knows where i can get quality icons from in png or svg format?
[10:08] <graft> faeryNatsuki: considered using PDFs?
[10:08] <andrel> graft: ok thanks.i am now going to watch a movie so bye :)
[10:08] <aalhamad> how can i put the irc in my pannel and close it from my window list (Like MSN)?
[10:08] <IcemanV9> Taime1: no. it is true. it is out.
[10:08] <cj_> rebid_emu :What would the init 3 string look like?
[10:08] <Taime1> it wont stickin download tho
[10:08] <Toth> hi... is there a good way to do volume encryption with ubuntu, or would it be better to just keep data in an encrypted volume or container and leave the rest of the system alone?
[10:08] <mag_> is important the oder of the partitions in the instalation ?
[10:08] <rabid_emu> cj_ ask xwatch :P
[10:08] <cj_> mk
[10:08] <cj_> xwatch: walk me trough this please :)
[10:09] <graft> __Sean: you're probably better off in ##windows, eh
[10:09] <__Sean> I am there too :-/
[10:09] <kilimanjaro> I still can't get it to boot from my sata disk, even when I use the livecd option to boot from hard disk
[10:10] <graft> __Sean: dunno what to tell you mate... with linux your best bet is just data recovery & reformat, methinks
[10:10] <kilimanjaro> It always hangs on grub stage 1.5
[10:10] <faeryNatsuki> mister_roboto: because open office crashed more than 7 times in the last hour and i'm losing all my work
[10:10] <aalhamad> how can i put the irc in my pannel and close it from my window list (Like MSN)?
[10:10] <__Sean> kay, thank you.
[10:10] <graft> aalhamad: wth are you talking about? I don't understand...
[10:10] <mister_roboto> faeryNatsuki: i see. that's a good reason :)  if openoffice and koffice are both crashing a lot, you likely have some other problem perhaps?
[10:11] <kilimanjaro> adaptr, do you have any other ideas for getting my sata disk working with linux? i wouldn't mind having to boot from a livecd each time, since I don't often turn my computer off. but I don't really know why it always gets stuck on grub 1.5
[10:11] <aalhamad> close the irc .. but the irc appears in my pannel..
[10:11] <faeryNatsuki> koffice is not crashing, but cannot import export as well as openoffice can
[10:11] <faeryNatsuki> mister_roboto:
[10:11] <adaptr> kilimanjaro: not a clue here either - unless  you have very new hardware ? or very weird hardware :)
[10:12] <Akuma_> how do i know the max resolution my video card can reach?
[10:12] <cj_> What would the init 3 string look like? anybody know?
[10:12] <graft> aalhamad: what IRC program?
[10:12] <aalhamad> xchat
[10:12] <graft> aalhamad: did you try selecting 'quit' from the main menu?
[10:12] <xwatch> ro init 3
[10:12] <kilimanjaro> it's probably weird, but it's not new, we have had it for some time (though I had similar problems installing winxp the first time around, I had to have a special driver)
[10:12] <cj_> mk
[10:12] <aalhamad> if i quit ill close the chat..
[10:12] <graft> aalhamad: yeah... isn't that what you want to do?
[10:12] <marshall> whats up everyone
[10:13] <graft> aalhamad: or do you want to make it appear in your system tray?
[10:13] <aalhamad> no .. minimize my window and it will not appear..
[10:13] <andrel> graft: sorry to ask something again but do you know maybe how i can make the subtitles go e.g. 5 seconds further in the movie
[10:13] <aalhamad> yes..
[10:13] <aalhamad> not apear in my tray..
[10:13] <aalhamad> but apears on my top pannel..
[10:13] <faeryNatsuki> then i have to open windows to do that simple work :'(
[10:14] <aalhamad> you know when you minimize amsn.. it apears on you top pannel
[10:14] <marshall> my gajim notifications through libnotify always appear at the bottom right, i would much prefer if they appeared at the top right (about 25 px from the top actually), does anybody know how i can change this?
[10:14] <graft> andrel: erm there's some keyboard control - x and z
[10:14] <xwatch> as in /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-686 root=/dev/hda2 ro init 3
[10:15] <georgy> aalhamad : install xchat-systray
[10:15] <shodanjr_gr> whats the command to restart apache?
[10:15] <graft> shodanjr_gr: sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
[10:15] <shodanjr_gr> cheers graft
[10:16] <gh0st> hello, i kind of messed up my sources.list and didn't backup, so ANYONE CAN GIVE ME A CLEAN SOURCES.LIST? thanks! (can post it trough pastebin)
[10:16] <graft> arr, no n eed to shout
[10:16] <freshburn> does anyone use the linuxant HSF drivers?
[10:16] <kilimanjaro> maybe I should try lilo
[10:16] <graft> gh0st: it'd help if you told us what you're running
[10:17] <georgy> gh0st : http://www.bawet.org/linuxinstall
[10:17] <freshburn> ghost google for source-o-atic
[10:17] <freshburn> er source-o-matic
[10:17] <freshburn> thats how i fixed my fubar sources.lst
[10:18] <gh0st> graft: ubuntu edgy
[10:18] <freshburn> when i enter "administrator mode" to change things in system settings or when i open adept it used to ask me my password and now it doesnt, does anyone know why? and how to change it back? i run kubuntu edgy
[10:18] <aalhamad>  i've installed xchat-systray .. what shall i do next?
[10:18] <gh0st> georgy: thanks
[10:19] <graft> freshburn: maybe you still have sudo tickets active when you open it?
[10:19] <Brandano> any chance that future Ubuntu releases will detect highpoint fakeraid controllers and install lilo instead of grub?
[10:19] <freshburn> whats that mean?
[10:19] <FlyingSquirrel32> how can I set the default domain/username/password when I'm connecting to windows shares from my ubuntu machine?
[10:19] <FlyingSquirrel32> I'd like to type smb://server/share  instead of smb://domain;user@server/share
[10:19] <gh0st> georgy: but unfortunately not clean/default
[10:19] <graft> freshburn: um, when you use 'sudo', or kdesu, it gives you a ticket saying you can sudo without entering a password for ~15 minutes
[10:19] <gh0st> graft: you have a default sources.list?
[10:19] <faeryNatsuki> OK
[10:20] <georgy> gh0st : ?
[10:20] <faeryNatsuki> i'll change my question
[10:20] <chris1932> hello everyone. I just installed the Flash 9 browser from the Adobe website, but when I restart Firefox, my Flash player is version 7. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[10:20] <faeryNatsuki> my openoffice is working bad, it crashes a lot
[10:20] <freshburn> so like if i just logged in it wont ask for first 15 mins?
[10:20] <adaptr> FlyingSquirrel32: I'd like to type #blow_me and have it produce hot wimmin... alas, no such luck :)
[10:20] <faeryNatsuki> it's is related to the version?
[10:20] <faeryNatsuki> any fix?
[10:20] <gh0st> georgy: is "deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ edgy free non-free" default?
[10:20] <FurryNemesis> chris1932, known bug, I think
[10:20] <freshburn> ghost no its not a default
[10:21] <georgy> ghOst : working fine, just install gpg key
[10:21] <chris1932> thanks FurryNemesis -- are there any fixes?
[10:21] <gh0st> freshburn: you have a default one, or now how to restore it?
[10:21] <FurryNemesis> chris1932, it should work as flash 7 or 8, not sure - not that I know of, try the forums
[10:21] <freshburn> source-o-matic google for it its a website thingy that does it for you
[10:21] <freshburn> like i said, its how i fixed mine after i screwed it up
[10:22] <graft> freshburn: no, after you first use sudo - logging in does nothing
[10:22] <freshburn> graft: so like if i just logged in it wont ask for first 15 mins?
[10:22] <kupesoft> My /etc/passwd file 5 entry (usename) is "Name, Room Number, Work Phone, Home Phone, Other".  How can I set up my system to just store and have "adduser" ask for just the person's name.
[10:22] <gh0st> freshburn:  source-o-matic did it thanks
[10:23] <freshburn> yw
[10:23] <FurryNemesis> chris1932, it should work as flash 7 or 8, not sure - not that I know of, try the forums
[10:23] <n2diy> kupesoft: try adduser username
[10:24] <Enverex> Why can't I find the Feisty repo list "anywhere"? (yes, I know it's still testing)
[10:24] <Toth> does anyone know how i would go about setting up volume encryption in ubuntu?
[10:24] <TiG4> *** I just installed Fluxbox, however, I do not know how to edit my network settings, i.e. my IP, DHCP, etc. Can anyone help?
[10:24] <freshburn> graft: thats not it then because it never asks, not ever
[10:24] <chris1932> thanks FurryNemesis! I'm reading the forums now.
[10:24] <Enverex> Toth, hehehe, I read that and thought "why would anyone need to encrypt their sound levels?"

[10:25] <freshburn> !cryptfs
[10:25] <Toth> adaptr can that be done on the root drive, or is that just something i'd have to use another partition for?
[10:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cryptfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:25] <adaptr> oh.. okay
[10:26] <adaptr> Toth: you'd have to apply some bad voodoo to encrypt your root system, but yeah, I'm sure it can be done
[10:26] <Toth> adaptr gotcha, so google cryptfs then :-D
[10:26] <adaptr> Toth: I googled recently, there are at least 4 or 5 different solutions available
[10:26] <freshburn> graft: is it because i changed the root password and enabled root to be able to login?
[10:26] <Toth> adaptr ok cool, thanks
[10:27] <freshburn> p.s. please dont yell at me i know, dont do that lol
[10:27] <CowzRule> Could someone point me to info on the command line options for the alternate install cd?
[10:27] <graft> freshburn: nein, s houldn't be it... did you put yourself in sudoers for adept, maybe?
[10:27] <adaptr> CowzRule: you're not connected to the internet when booted ?
[10:27] <freshburn> cowzrule i think when you boot with it pressing F1 gives you the options
[10:27] <freshburn> graft: nope, all i did different was enable root
[10:28] <beg1689> so many people.... i just have a quick question, im trying to compile something but it needs gtk+-2.0 and i dont see it in synaptic, any idea where to get it?
[10:28] <Defend> this is ticking me off why is it not loading my initrd file from my menu list entry !!! it isnt loading lvm so it cant find rooT!!!
[10:28] <freshburn> is there a group for changing that, im not a member of root but i am a member of admin and sudo groups
[10:28] <graft> freshburn: logging in as root is usually a bad idea, eh
[10:28] <freshburn> p.s. please dont yell at me i know, dont do that lol

[10:30] <adaptr> CowzRule: do you mean *for* booting the install CD ? just press one of the function keys, like it tells you to.. but you could try starting with "noapic nolapic"
[10:31] <kupesoft> When I run "adduser", it collects the following information about a new user: {Name, Room Number, Work Phone, Home Phone, Other} stores it in a comma-delimited fashion in /etc/passwd.  Where can I add or subtract items from that list?  I want to only collect the user's name.
[10:31] <lasse> hi. i want to start an application like azureus on the remote machines X  from ssh. how do i do this?
[10:31] <freshburn> graft yup
[10:31] <graft> kupesoft: just leave 'em blank... that's standard unix stuff from way back
[10:31] <Robin_MacMini> Does anyone know how well the new Steam version is running under WINE
[10:31] <CowzRule> Thanks adapt
[10:31] <kupesoft> graft: Can I change that stuff?
[10:31] <graft> kupesoft: man chfn
[10:31] <JamesG> kupesoft: Or just use 'useradd'.. 'useradd foo' adds a user named foo and leaves the other stuff blank.
[10:32] <graft> fie on useradd!
[10:32] <adaptr> JamesG: that depends on sane defaults.. an unsuspecting first-timer could be left without a home directory or shell....
[10:32] <JamesG> adaptr: I was about to say, don't forget -m
[10:32] <lasse> or more like: i have computer A and computer B, i want to ssh from computer A to computer B and start azureus running on B's X11.
[10:33] <georgy> lasse : use X option --> ssh  -X user@computer
[10:33] <graft> lasse: ForwardX11 option
[10:33] <adaptr> lasse: just add -display :0 to the command
[10:33] <graft> lasse: but it has to be enabled in A's sshd.conf
[10:33] <drja1> anyone want to take a stab at this error
[10:33] <adaptr> graft: he never said he is running *from* X, nor does he say he wants to connect to X
[10:33] <drja1> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[10:33] <drja1> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[10:33] <lasse> graft: ill go with adaptrs solution
[10:34] <lasse> adaptr, thanks
[10:34] <graft> adaptr: ah duh, good call
[10:34] <adaptr> graft: no clue what he'll do with an azureus that he cannot control, but hey :)
[10:34] <graft> adaptr: yeah, was just about to ask that :P
[10:34] <lasse> adaptr, so it would be like $ azureus -display :0         ?
[10:34] <adaptr> graft: well, he could just want to start seeding
[10:34] <n2diy> drja1: make sure update and synaptic aren't running.
[10:35] <drja1> lol yeah they are thanks
[10:35] <drja1> DUHHHH what a bonehead i am:)
[10:35] <freshburn> my "sudoers" file has a little lock on its icon, how do i read/edit it?
[10:35] <Kyral> You gotta be root
[10:35] <graft> and you should probably use visudoers
[10:35] <georgy> and use visudo
[10:36] <graft> or whatever!
[10:36] <adaptr> lasse: or you may have to set DISPLAY, like so: DISPLAY=:0.0 azureus
[10:36] <freshburn> thats the kind of stuff that made me enable the root account
[10:36] <adaptr> lasse: you should us ethat whenever the program you want to run does not support a -display option
[10:36] <freshburn> so alt-f2 and kdesu kate sudoers
[10:36] <graft> freshburn: taht's why linux has no viruses and windoze does... learn to love it
[10:36] <Random_Transit> has anyone here ever tried using WebDAV on ubuntu?
[10:36] <Botkin> hi
[10:36] <adaptr> freshburn: sudo visudo sudoers :)
[10:36] <lmosher> I need help connecting to a wpa2 enterprise network (my school network). I'm following the directions for windows, but some of the fields are not available in the NetworkManager app. i.e. to use PAP. I should also be downloading the cert, but there's no place to enter that info.
[10:36] <lasse> adaptr, i get an error so I guess it isnt supported
[10:37] <adaptr> freshburn: you DO NOT want to edit sudoers directly
[10:37] <adaptr> freshburn: use the magic triplet I gave you
[10:37] <Kyral> graft: Sudo != the reason Linux is free of virii
[10:37] <freshburn> whats the gui for it?
[10:37] <lmosher> I attempted to use wpa_supplicant. This seems to auth ok and downloads the certs, but it doesn't actually connect... Not sure if I need to do anything else.
[10:37] <Kyral> freshburn: non
[10:37] <Kyral> freshburn: sudo visudo
[10:37] <adaptr> freshburn: vi is the gui for it
[10:37] <Botkin> i`m Russian!! :-) hi, peoples!
[10:37] <graft> Kyral: yeah, but secure administration is a big part of it
[10:37] <Kyral> adaptr: So does that mean there is a nanosudo and emacssudo :D
[10:37] <Kyral> graft: Obviously
[10:38] <freshburn> kyral even tho i have kubuntu and was told to use kdesu for stuff like that
[10:38] <Kyral> Sudo does have its use
[10:38] <adaptr> Kyral: nope; vi is king.. vi is the oldest
[10:38] <graft> freshburn: kdesu = sudo
[10:38] <n2diy> ! ru | Botking FYI
[10:38] <Kyral> like mounting Crypto partitions
[10:38] <ubotu> Botking FYI:    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[10:38] <Kyral> adaptr: It was meant to be a horrible joke
[10:38] <jhai1> What application do people advise for creating a video on DVD?
[10:38] <freshburn> graft and even that doesnt ask me for my passwrd anymore
[10:38] <raveneye> hmmm someone is talking jibberish again
[10:38] <adaptr> freshburn: you use sudo only from a commandline - if you try to use it in X it won't get a proper environment
[10:38] <Slart> adaptr: you're not starting that old discussion again, are you ? =)
[10:39] <graft> freshburn: yeah, um, well, maybe when you edit your sudoers file you'll find out why :P
[10:39] <dusty> Hi folks, Ive just downloaded icecast2 and ices2 for dapper.
[10:39] <Kyral> Jeez...
[10:39] <adaptr> freshburn: use kdesu or gksudo from a desktop
[10:39] <Kyral> I didn't mean to start the Holy War
[10:39] <freshburn> looks like the bot is back from russia
[10:39] <Kyral> I meant to make a very bad joke :D
[10:39] <Botkin> #ubuntu-ru sleep :-(((
[10:39] <Gosha> would it be any problems for me installing kubuntu on my ubuntu and xubuntu?
[10:39] <adaptr> you cannot start the Holy War ! it never ended ! :)
[10:39] <freshburn> adaptr so from katapult?
[10:39] <Kyral> Gosha: You mean KDE?
[10:39] <dusty> There is supposed to be a /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml
[10:39] <linux_kid> I have a Lexmark X2250 printer and it's networked as "Printer2" over my SMB network "Mshome".  I've tried the Printer Setup Wizard, but it won't seem to work.  Any Ideas..?
[10:39] <max__> i am running ubuntu 6.10. after a a couple of days of system up it becomes very slow - what do I do?? does it have anything to do with cache at about 100%??
[10:39] <Gosha> Kyral: yes
[10:39] <estupendocero> I have a dependency problem: I want to install VLC, but it won't let me because it depends on: libdbus 1-1 which doesn't exist, and wxvlc, which "won't be installed". Any suggestions?
[10:39] <Kyral> Gosha: No problems there
[10:40] <Flannel> freshburn: kdesu and gksudo are for graphical apps.  sudo is for non-graphical apps.  It caches passwords (I believe default is 10 minuteS) which is why it's not asking oyu a second time
[10:40] <graft> linux_kid: install cups
[10:40] <adaptr> freshburn: kata-whata >
[10:40] <linux_kid> graft: I have cups
[10:40] <Kyral> Gosha: Its good to have multiple WMs...gives varieity to life :D
[10:40] <Botkin> 1014 users! respeekt!
[10:40] <graft> linux_kid: oh wait, smb network... hrm
[10:40] <Gosha> should i install kde, or kubuntu? .. ( in case kubuntu has something special just fo ubuntu or something )
[10:40] <freshburn> flannel it never asks the first time, ever
[10:40] <dusty> the /etc/default/icecast2 said to edit it.. but.. its not installed there.
[10:40] <Kyral> Gosha: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:40] <Slart> Gosha: eh.. what do you have now?
[10:40] <Kyral> He said Xubuntu and Ubuntu
[10:40] <freshburn> sudo, kdesu, clicking the "administrator mode" button nothing asks for my password ever except when i log in
[10:40] <Flannel> Gosha: kubuntu-desktop is the same as ubuntu-desktop, it installs the kubuntu version of KDE's apps
[10:40] <Gosha> ubuntu and xubuntu ( using ubuntu now)
[10:41] <Kyral> so I assume GNOME and XFCE
[10:41] <userundefine> Gosha, kunutu-desktop is a larger metapackage of many little parts.  kde-base is just pure KDE, faster too from what I hear
[10:41] <pengulord> does the 32 bit apps work on the 64 bit os??
[10:41] <Slart> Gosha: and Kyral's answer was even better
[10:41] <Gosha> huh?
[10:41] <dusty> xubuntu is nice
[10:41] <Kyral> Jeez
[10:41] <Gosha> yes, gnome and xfce
[10:41] <Kyral> this is why I call it Meta-buntu
[10:41] <max__> i am running ubuntu 6.10. after a a couple of days of system up it becomes very slow - what do I do?? does it have anything to do with cache at about 100%??
[10:41] <Flannel> userundefine, Gosha, KDE has different default apps than kubuntu, just like ubuntu-desktop vs gnome (ubuntu uses firefox, gnome uses epiphany, for instance)
[10:41] <Brandano> anyone got pointers for installing a Sounblaster AWE64 Gold IsaPnP soundcard?
[10:41] <Kyral> max__: Cache will always be at 100%
[10:41] <Gosha> eh.. ?
[10:42] <pengulord> try cooling the computer down
[10:42] <Kyral> max__: Linux caches memory VERY aggressively
[10:42] <Kyral> Flannel: We just confused him
[10:42] <pengulord> :(
[10:42] <linux_kid> max__: i would just reinstall.... only because it has been a few days.  I would also make sure you have twice as much SWAP as you have RAM
[10:42] <Gosha> ... you certianly did
[10:42] <dusty> So no takers on me icecast query? Will try back later.
[10:42] <Kyral> Okay
[10:42] <Botkin> ok. bay bay
[10:42] <freshburn> max i have edgy installed on a couple desktops and a laptop for 2 weeks now and its still very responsive, i LOVE kubuntu edgy
[10:42] <Kyral> the kde package
[10:42] <Kyral> it is KDE
[10:42] <lmosher> I need help connecting to a wpa2 enterprise network (my school network). I'm following the directions for windows, but some of the fields are not available in the NetworkManager app. i.e. to use PAP. I should also be downloading the cert, but there's no place to enter that info.
[10:42] <Kyral> Kubuntu-Desktop
[10:42] <estupendocero> I can't install VLC because of dependency problems- is this the right place to ask about it?
[10:42] <Kyral> its KDE + Extras
[10:42] <Flannel> Gosha: installing kubuntu-desktop will not interfere with your current setup, you have nothing to worry about
[10:43] <max__> thanks ppl
[10:43] <Gosha> .. what will change and what not?
[10:43] <Flannel> Kyral: no, it's KDE -somestuff +someotherstuff
[10:43] <Slart> estupendocero: this would be it.. I don't have an answer for you though.. perhaps someone else
[10:43] <max__> yes, I will probably increase the swap...
[10:43] <aalhamad> how can i enable a plugin on Xchat?
[10:43] <Kyral> Flannel: You sure its all of the KDE Split Packages
[10:43] <Flannel> Gosha: you'll be able to log into Kubuntu, just like you can currently log into Gnome or XFCE
[10:43] <linux_kid> Gosha: "kubuntu-desktop" will change your login window, and splash to the KDE default
[10:43] <freshburn> flannel so no ideas why it NEVER asks me my password anymore? it did like the first 2 days then it just stopped
[10:43] <estupendocero> Slart, thanks anyhow - I'll figure it out
[10:44] <afief> max__: As far as i know you can make swap files which are almost as efficient as swap partitions
[10:44] <Flannel> freshburn: does sudo ask for your password?
[10:44] <Kyral> linux_kid: Actually it pops up a NCurses menu asking :D
[10:44] <linux_kid> Kyral: i must have missed that...
[10:44] <Slart> aalhamad: are you using gnome-xchat? or regular xchat?
[10:44] <black_13> is possible to place mp3 (i have purchased) onto an ipod shuffle
[10:44] <Slart> black_13: try amarok
[10:44] <Kyral> linux_kid: Well if it detects GDM
[10:45] <freshburn> flannel sudo does not
[10:45] <freshburn> flannel and neither does kdesu
[10:45] <graft> freshburn: what's your sudoers file look like?
[10:45] <Flannel> freshburn: then you mustve tweaked your config to never ask for your password
[10:45] <Gosha> would it be: "startkde --:1"? or something?
[10:45] <black_13> Slart yeah im using amarok right now to listen to a cd
[10:45] <Slart> black_13: there are probably other ipod-aware media players out there.. Amarok is just one
[10:45] <linux_kid> !ipod | black_13
[10:45] <ubotu> black_13: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[10:45] <freshburn> flannel and where would i have done this?
[10:45] <adaptr> freshburn: then you have a nopassword somewhere in .etc.sudoers
[10:45] <Flannel> Gosha: no, you'll choose at GDM/KDM/XDM (the login window) which environment you want to log into, under "session"
 yes I heard that but still strange - I have 1 gig memory + 1 gig swap and do only web surfing now...
[10:45] <estupendocero> VLC won't install because it depends on libdbus 1-1, which doesn't exist, and wxvlc, which seems to have reciprocal dependency with VLC. Help!
[10:45] <aalhamad> back..
[10:46] <Gosha> i know .. but incase i want to start it on another screen?
[10:46] <Flannel> max__: that should be fine.  swap wise
[10:46] <freshburn> could it have been in kdmrc file
[10:46] <freshburn> because thats the only one ive changed
[10:46] <afief> max__ well i only have 512MB of each, with beryl and everything installed and it's still very responsive
 at least I know now that 100% cash is OK :)
[10:47] <black_13> iinux_boy (nice name) thanks for the info
[10:47] <deafboy> does anyone know what config file gnome-session-properties uses?
 have not got beryl - got a laptop and s3 graphics - that sucks..
[10:47] <Slart> estupendocero: try installing vlc-nox instead
[10:47] <deafboy> because when i make changes it doesn't say there
[10:47] <fnord123> hi can i check which kernel is installed? i want to see if i have smp kernel
[10:47] <estupendocero> Slart, will do
[10:48] <selahone> fnord123 use "uname -a" without the quotes in a terminal window.
[10:48] <n2diy> fnord123: uname -a
[10:48] <freshburn> my sudoers file contains the root=all entry and the admin=can sudo entry but no nopasswd entry in entire file
[10:48] <Gosha> not startkde --:1?
[10:48] <afief> max__, ha... s3, well I got ATI which i think is a bit better. perhaps you should try some less demanding desktop environments. XFCE is very good, and ION3 is my favorite(but it's a bit advanced)
[10:48] <graft> freshburn: timeout?
[10:48] <fnord123> thanks. if i dont see smp in the report, then the smp kernel isn't there?
[10:48] <estupendocero> Slart, synaptic hasn't heard of that one - checking internets
[10:49] <freshburn> timeout what?
[10:49] <graft> freshburn: did you mess with your sytem clock?
[10:49] <Gosha> ... eh, gdm or kdm .. oh, is that the login screen?
[10:49] <Flannel> Gosha: there'll be some command like that.  I don't know what it is.
[10:49] <adaptr> deafboy: in ~/.gnome2/session
[10:49] <Slart> estupendocero: what kind of ubuntu are you running? 64bit? 32 bit?
[10:49] <graft> freshburn: type sudo -k, and then see if sudo asks for a password
[10:49] <Slart> !vlc-nox
[10:49] <Flannel> Gosha: yeah, GDM/XDM/KDM is the login screen
[10:49] <freshburn> no i set the time... whats that do with it
[10:49] <lmosher> Anyone understand how to connect to wpa2 networks? Help?
[10:49] <ubotu> vlc-nox: multimedia player and streamer (without X support). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 4038 kB, installed size 11060 kB

[10:49] <graft> freshburn: err, try sudo -K
[10:50] <graft> freshburn: and then sudo -i
[10:50] <estupendocero> Slart, I think so, lemme check
[10:50] <selahone> fnord123 check out: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85917
well the problem is that it is not constantly slow.. it IS very and responsive most of the time but sometimes slows down without apparent reason
[10:50] <Gosha> what does DM stand for?
[10:50] <utopio> hi people!
[10:50] <freshburn> graft nope still doesnt
[10:50] <Flannel> Gosha: display manager
[10:50] <linux_kid> Gosha: desktop manager
[10:50] <graft> freshburn: um, you're not logged in as root, are you?
[10:50] <Gosha> kay
[10:50] <n2diy> ! wpa | lmosher
[10:50] <ubotu> lmosher: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:50] <freshburn> graft nope i checked that too
[10:50] <adaptr> Gosha: Display Manager, possibly
[10:50] <freshburn> shell prompt is a $ not a #
[10:50] <adaptr> freshburn: good !
[10:50] <afief> max__, perhaps you should (if you use gnome) keep the system monitor applet at hand...
[10:51] <Gosha> .. well, i get it i think .. they're pretty similiar
[10:51] <utopio> i've got a crc error at boot (fresh install) and according to memtest86 my ram is ok... may i have a broken hd? any other idea?
[10:51] <estupendocero> Slart, dude wtf!!! I swear I had universe and multiverse enabled!!! oops
[10:51] <afief> max__, I know FireFox leaks a good deal of memory, I use Epiphany instead, it's a bit better
[10:51] <Slart> estupendocero: that's probably why the regular install didn't work either.. try again =)
[10:51] <n2diy> estupendocero: after you enable them, save your config.
[10:51] <graft> freshburn: um, sudo ls -l /var/run/sudo
[10:52] <lmosher> n2diy, I've looked around some. I'll check that out but I might be back to bug you :)
 have not tried Epiphany yet.. will have a look - thanks!
[10:52] <selahone> Does the about:config memory leak fix for firefox work on the linux version?
[10:52] <max__> cheers all, thanks!
[10:52] <n2diy> lmosher: ok.
[10:52] <estupendocero> Slart, n2diy, it doesn't seem to want to let me enable them... grr
[10:52] <afief> max__, just make sure you don't fall in the same mistake, in the repositories epiphany is a game, you need epiphany-browser i think
[10:52] <Slart> estupendocero: huh? never heard of that.. it won't let you check the boxes?
[10:53] <dusty> Got icecast started. nice!
[10:53] <utopio> selahone, sure it does... btw its a feature, not a leak of bug...
[10:53] <andcor> fnord123: core 2 duo needs the amd64 kernel images
[10:53] <estupendocero> it will let me check the boxes, but then when I hit add, nothing happens
[10:53] <Gosha> what kind of other DM's are there? ( expect of X G & K )
[10:53] <Zambezi> Which codec should I install to play avi/mpeg?
[10:53] <selahone> utopio huh? memory leak a feature? :)

[10:54] <estupendocero> Slart, sorry bad crowded channelettiquite, there are a couple lines above for you
[10:54] <PriceChild> _esper, not here thanks
[10:54] <marshall> freshburn: lol i dont think so
[10:54] <estupendocero> hmm
[10:54] <utopio> selahone, not a leak, its a caching feature, perphaps a too big cache... afaik
[10:54] <Zambezi> Gosha, Thanks!
[10:54] <freshburn> dont yell at me for THIS

[10:55] <selahone> utopio gotcha. That makes sense.
[10:55] <fnord123> k7 = amd64?
[10:55] <Slart> estupendocero: just check them and click Close or whatever button seems appropriate..
[10:55] <graft> freshburn: um.... that's pretty bad... but also terrible behavior on sudo's part, maybe
[10:55] <marshall> !pastebin > fnord123
[10:55] <andcor> fnord123: no thinks its 686
[10:55] <estupendocero> Slart, well in that case, I think they were enabled. Lemme check though
[10:55] <freshburn> i checked with konqueror too there is no sudo in /var/run
[10:55] <Slart> estupendocero: that add-button is for adding other repos.. with a url
[10:55] <freshburn> what SHOULD be there
[10:55] <deafboy> rabid_emu: are you in here?
[10:55] <linux_kid> marshal: he asked not to be yellled at

[10:55] <andcor> fnord123: just a minute, i'll check what my server runs
[10:56] <deafboy> rabid_emu: i found how to fix it
[10:56] <fnord123> k
[10:56] <utopio> fnord123, as a result of my experience i dont recomend you to use amd64 images, i386 images will work as well, and you will be able to use flash, and win32 codes much more easyly
[10:56] <estupendocero> Slart, might this be a problem: W: GPG error: http://nightlies.videolan.org  Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C367D8B981CACA84
[10:56] <graft> freshburn: there should be a directory there...  and if there isn't sudo creates one
[10:56] <Slart> estupendocero: hmm.. I've had that problem before on Debian.. but not on Ubuntu
[10:56] <freshburn> an empty dir?
[10:56] <utopio> fnord123, if it is not a desktop machine, go ahead with amd64...
[10:56] <graft> freshburn: so something is wrong
[10:56] <freshburn> i make it myself lol
[10:56] <graft> freshburn: no, a directory containing your tickets
[10:56] <pengulord> im shopping for a computer thats cheap but runs ubuntu decently
[10:57] <Slart> estupendocero: but it didn't keep me from installing stuff.. I just had to press Y (yes I'm very sure I want to do this) when installing
[10:57] <freshburn> pengulord, i have a pentium 3 with 256 ram 10gig HD and monitor for 200
[10:57] <freshburn> i live in michigan
[10:57] <Slart> estupendocero: try using some other server?
[10:57] <andcor> utopio: I'm using the amd64 kernel and I haven't experienced any problems with that
[10:57] <freshburn> 200 dollars, not chickens
[10:57] <estupendocero> bah, still getting the dependency error
[10:57] <freshburn> 19 inch monnitor
[10:57] <freshburn> ati tv out rage II vid card
[10:58] <Slart> estupendocero: what servers are you using btw?.. main servers?
[10:58] <utopio> andcor, amd64 users we cant use win32 codes, java plugin or flash easyly....
[10:58] <estupendocero> Slart, I think so - lemme check
[10:58] <freshburn> graft so what coulda done that?
[10:58] <andcor> fnord123: my server uses linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
[10:58] <Slart> estupendocero: ok.. I got the same error now, using the main repos
[10:58] <freshburn> and how does it store the tickets?
[10:58] <adaptr> andcor: not the server image ?
[10:58] <graft> freshburn: just makes a directory with your username in /var/run/sudo
[10:58] <fnord123> ok ill get the 686 smp
[10:58] <adaptr> freshburn: all that matters is the timestamp
[10:59] <utopio> andcor, have you managed to use those? if so any suggestion to configure them without suffering much?
[10:59] <estupendocero> Slart, what should I use instead?
[10:59] <Slart> estupendocero: I'm trying the US servers now..
[10:59] <fnord123> thanks for your suggestions
[10:59] <Gosha> restart of X~! .. or maybe just a logout...
[10:59] <adaptr> estupendocero: select a fast mirror somewhere near you
[10:59] <graft> freshburn: not sure what coulda done that...
[10:59] <andcor> adaptr: nah, it's an mediacenter, so it's totaly regular hardware and I like the preinstalled X
[10:59] <eni191_> How can I install Skype? I have multiverse universe in my repositories
[10:59] <Slart> estupendocero: same thing there... this is most annoying
[10:59] <freshburn> ok i ran sudo -l in a shell and it sasys that user me can run (ALL) ALL on this host
[10:59] <SAMMI> Hi everibody!
[10:59] <adaptr> andcor: don't see what that has to do with the version of Ubuntu you use
[11:00] <SAMMI> One question:
[11:00] <marshall> how do you exit a man page again?
[11:00] <adaptr> freshburn: erm.. we knew that already, didn't we ?
[11:00] <graft> marshall: q
[11:00] <charlesg3> q
[11:00] <jmibanez> marshall: hit q
[11:00] <adaptr> marshall: q
[11:00] <freshburn> marshal q
[11:00] <adaptr> whaha
[11:00] <andcor> utopio: Not sure I've tried, I know it is installed but I'm not sure I have tried to use it
[11:00] <graft> haha! i win!
[11:00] <black_13> I _FREAKING_ love UBUNTU
[11:00] <SAMMI> How can i know my ram's frequencies???
[11:00] <SurfnKid> black_13, so do it
[11:00] <SurfnKid> s/it/i
[11:00] <Brandano> From the bios panel?
[11:00] <andcor> adaptr: Well i couldn't see any reasons for using the server image
[11:00] <adaptr> marshall: ctrl-c ctrl-c alt-x ctrl-z, spin round twice, cough, and blink rapidly at the screen until the spots go away
[11:00] <estupendocero> Slart, okay, I'm an idiot, but how do I select new servers?
[11:00] <graft> SAMMI: maybe you should try #animal-husbandry, eh
[11:01] <SavatageBT> I am installing oracle-xe via apt-get on a ubuntu server...everything goes fine including running the congif...but I cant get the page to come up in my browser ...localhost:8080/apex...   everything else seems to run fine I can access via sqlplus, my issue is why the page doesnt display in the browser...
[11:01] <n2diy> SAMMI: lshw
[11:01] <freshburn> is there a group i may have added myself to that would cause that
[11:01] <utopio> reading the incriptions on the ram chip?
[11:01] <marshall> ok, thanks adaptr, jmibanez, charlesg3 and graft
[11:01] <SAMMI> In the bios I didn't find it!
[11:01] <Slart> estupendocero: it's on the first page of the "repositories" menu in synaptic
[11:01] <selahone> graft, that's just not right...
[11:01] <n2diy> SAMMI: lshw
[11:01] <Slart> estupendocero: or in administration, software sources
[11:01] <black_13> SurnKid i got wireless to work 3d to work and my ipod works
[11:01] <Brandano> should be double the FSB for DDR memory
[11:01] <adaptr> SAMMI: you would have noticed the correct memory type when you bought it ?
[11:02] <Brandano> most PC's also show it on boot on the memory test screen
[11:02] <andcor> utopio: you know where i can find a microsoft movieclip to test it with
[11:02] <andcor> utopio: I would be happy to tell you how I've installed it if it works
[11:02] <n2diy> adaptr: maybe he didn't buy it? I haven't bought any new hardware in over ten years, but I have a dozen working boxes, mostly found in the trash.
[11:02] <utopio> andcor, no idea waht is movieclip.... i just use mplayer or totem for video...
[11:03] <rmorris85> I just reinstalled ubuntu to get edgy on my machine about a week ago... and im trying to burn an iso and its not showing a cd burner installed... can someone give me some insight
[11:03] <adaptr> n2diy: I want to shop where you live.... the only hardware I find in the trash is.. trash
[11:03] <SAMMI> I didn' bought it... I've got a PC i want to install more ram in but i can't find infoprmation about... Now I've got 64 MB...
[11:03] <adaptr> rmorris85: then install one.... gtoaster, k3b, whatever
[11:04] <rmorris85> adaptr: im using gnomebaker...
[11:04] <andcor> utopio: yeah, but you say that you can't install the w32codec's, and then I would like to try to see a windows movie clip, just to see if I have gotten it to work
[11:04] <n2diy> adaptr: I live in the coal region of E. PA., and it is amazing what people throw away around here.
[11:04] <adaptr> SAMMI: 64 MB ? that'll be pretty old memory then - SDRAM at best
[11:04] <lmosher> n2diy, Hey I'm back. Yeah I've followed the directions but something is wrong. Can I PM you a short paste?
[11:04] <rmorris85> adaptr: but its not showing a cd burner to use
[11:04] <SAMMI> Yes, SDRAM. I want to know frequencies...
[11:04] <adaptr> rmorris85: I see.. sorry
[11:04] <Brandano> anyone has an howto to configure alsa on an ISA PnP card?
[11:04] <n2diy> lmosher: no put it up on pastebin for all to see, I'm no wlan expert.
[11:05] <lmosher> alright
[11:05] <Brandano> SAMMI: what processor is it?
[11:05] <SAMMI> I  love old PC... Celeron 433
[11:05] <crimsun> Brandano: find the name of the chipset, then load the driver manually. Or you can use alsaconf (not condoned but still feasible).
[11:05] <selahone> freshburn you got a pastebin of your sudoers?
[11:05] <Slart> estupendocero: no luck so far.. it's still giving me lots of errors
[11:05] <freshburn> does being in the "sudo" group do anything?
[11:05] <cappiz> someone knows what type of motherboard is inside IBM eServer xseries 345... is it E-ATX or?
[11:05] <adaptr> SAMMI: 66, 100 or 133 MHz - what type of PCU is in it ? #cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
[11:05] <freshburn> selahone jsut a sec and i will
[11:05] <Mammon> Hello everyone, I am new to Linux and have built my computer with some pretty good stuff, I want a linux distro that will allow a very smooth operation. I need to be able to do photo editing and storage also I need to be able to print from my hp photosmart 7415. Can ubuntu provide this?
[11:05] <estupendocero> Slart, how's this for a fix: "don't use vlc" :)
[11:05] <adaptr> SAMMI: run that
[11:05] <andcor> estupendocero: WHAT ?
[11:06] <Brandano> crimsun: AW64 gold, should use the same settings as an AWE32 I believe
[11:06] <freshburn> why dont use vlc?
[11:06] <SAMMI> Ehm... Now I'm working in a win session... Pardon!
[11:06] <Slart> estupendocero: hehe.. I don't care about vlc now.. I want synaptic to work without errors..  =)
[11:06] <andcor> estupendocero: why not VLC ???
[11:06] <estupendocero> hahaha
[11:06] <andreasw> whats the gstreamer0.10 command to register new plugins so programs like rhythmbox do recognize them?
[11:06] <adaptr> SAMMI: then the memory is 66 MHz, but it should accept 100 or 133 as well, if it's one of the later i4xx chipsets
[11:06] <linux_kid> Mammon: try the live cd and see how far you get
[11:06] <Mammon> ok thanks
[11:06] <phr34ck> Hey, how can I format the partition I have Ubuntu on?
[11:06] <jerb> !op
[11:06] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[11:06] <estupendocero> because we can't figure out how to get it to install and resolve it's dependencies
[11:06] <tonyyarusso> jerb: ?
[11:06] <freshburn> when i run visudo it says permission denied but when i try sudo visudo it doesnt ask for passwd and it runs it
[11:07] <estupendocero> wow, that got a reaction
[11:07] <jerb> whoops sorry wrong channel
[11:07] <DBO> jerb?
[11:07] <DARKGuy> lol
[11:07] <Brandano> SAMMI: if you can find it (wich is oddly hard) you are probably better off replacing all the memory modules
[11:07] <lmosher> n2diy, I had basically done what the how-to suggested. Prob is it isn't just wpa, there's a bunch of crap it wants. See: http://pastebin.com/861628
[11:07] <Brandano> but probably you can find a better specced computer in a skip somewhee
[11:08] <n2diy> lmosher: roger, wait.
[11:08] <lmosher> Is anyone good w/ WPA2 enterprise? It seems to connect (see above pastebin), but I have no connectivity
[11:08] <lmosher> np
[11:08] <SAMMI> ...:-)
[11:08] <andcor> estupendocero: VLC is virtually the easyest media player to install
[11:08] <andcor> sure the sources.conf isn't fucked ?
[11:08] <estupendocero> andcor, tell that to synaptic ;)
[11:09] <Ferret> !ohmy
[11:09] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:09] <NeoGeo64> Help.  I'm using Archive Manager to try and extract files from a RAR archive but I keep getting the error that I don't have enough permissions to perform the operation.  I get the same error while running it as root too.  Anyone know?
[11:09] <SAMMI> I'll try every suggest. Thanx Everibody!
[11:09] <estupendocero> andcor, that's conceivable
[11:09] <linux_kid> andcor: family friendly
[11:09] <selahone> freshburn it sounds like you've got password turned off somewhere in your sudoers
[11:09] <Ferret> Surely all of them are equally easy to install, since you just use aptitude or whatever? ;p
[11:09] <adaptr> NeoGeo64: extract it to where ?
[11:09] <slyboots> . . .
[11:09] <juano> NeoGeo64: better to use unrar
[11:09] <andcor> sorry everybody
[11:09] <slyboots> sTupid Gxchat
[11:09] <juano> NeoGeo64: try sudo apt-get install unrar
[11:10] <andcor> estupendocero: ubuntuguide.org has an pretty good sources.conf file, mayby you should try that
[11:10] <n2diy> lmosher: sorry, I don't see anything obvious.
[11:10] <adaptr> andcor: ITYM sources.LST
[11:10] <juano> NeoGeo64: try also as root chmod 777 myarchive.rar
[11:10] <adaptr> D*mn! :)
[11:10] <estupendocero> andcor, will do, thanks
[11:10] <phr34ck> I want to format my Ubuntu. I have windows and Ubuntu installed. How can I format the Ubuntu part ?
[11:11] <andcor> adaptr: ITYM?
[11:11] <lmosher> Is there some way that wpa_supplicant could connect but my system not realize it and not try to communicate through eth1??
[11:11] <adaptr> andcor: I Think You Mean sources.LIST, not .conf, as that does not exist
[11:11] <juano> phr34ck: you want to erase ubuntu part completely?
[11:11] <andcor> aah, your right
[11:11] <andcor> my bad
[11:11] <adaptr> I get that a lot :P
[11:11] <n2diy> lmosher: what flavor of Ubuntu are you running?
[11:11] <phr34ck> juano, yes .. I want to format and re-install.
[11:11] <lmosher> n2diy, 6.10
[11:12] <juano> phr34ck: well you can delete the ubuntu partitions
[11:12] <finalbeta> !paste
[11:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:12] <NeoGeo64> ok works now thanks
[11:12] <phr34ck> juano, how do I do that? From windows or something ?
[11:12] <freshburn> pastebin of sudoers is past.ubuntu-nl.org/1976
[11:12] <n2diy> lmosher: ok, I'm not sure you'll have this then, but check in system/admin/networking and see if eth0 is activated.
[11:12] <juano> phr34ck: you need a partitioner, like gparted or partition magic
[11:13] <freshburn> selahone pastebin 1976
[11:13] <lmosher> n2diy, My wireless is eth1 though..?
[11:13] <juano> phr34ck: you can install it via windows
[11:13] <juano> phr or here
[11:13] <juano> phr34ck: or here, sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:13] <Pipeman> How can I get Edgy Eft to _not_ mount my Firewire volumes at boot (/dev/sde in my case)?
[11:13] <n2diy> lmosher: ok, go for that then.
[11:13] <Gosha> hmm, the functionality seems pretty much the same
[11:13] <lmosher> n2diy, no, my wireless connection says "this network interface is not configured"
[11:13] <Jesse> does anybody know how make evolution read my hotmail?
[11:13] <phr34ck> juano, how am I suppose to delete the partition I'm currently working on?
[11:13] <phr34ck> gparted won't work.
[11:13] <phr34ck> I think.
[11:14] <n2diy> lmosher: ok, highlight it, and see if you can configure it.
[11:14] <lmosher> n2diy, But I can't point it to my wireless network b/c that utility does not have the required wpa stuff...
[11:14] <juano> phr34ck: no? open synaptic
[11:14] <juano> phr34ck: search for gparted
[11:14] <phr34ck> juano, I already have gparted installed.
[11:15] <juano> phr34ck: oh, ok, you try partition magic in windows?
[11:15] <Jesse> does anybody know how make evolution read my hotmail?
[11:15] <lmosher> n2diy, I can try to start my wireless using wpa_supplicant and then try starting the network connection there, but Ill have to disconnect from this network, so I'll brb
[11:15] <phr34ck> Ubuntu partitions does not show in Windows.
[11:15] <n2diy> lmosher: ok, go to a terminal, and see what iwconfig tells you?
[11:15] <gma> Jesse: have you found pop3 settings on your hotmail account?
[11:15] <selahone> freshburn that looks like an unaltered sudoers..have you tried visudo -c in a terminal window to verify it's a good one?
[11:15] <juano> phr34ck: yes, they will inside partition magic ;)
[11:15] <andreasw> gaim is the worst irc client I have ever used ;)
[11:15] <Jesse> gma:> there are none that I know about i have looked through
[11:15] <juano> phr34ck: inside My Computer they wont
[11:15] <lmosher> n2diy, ok I'll save that. Right now it'll say I'm connected to my other wireless network (The nonsescure version :/)
[11:15] <phr34ck> juano, I see ... is there no way to do that from the Ubuntu DVD ?
[11:15] <Delux_247> yeah it is, but its still better than bitchx
[11:16] <Enverex> andreasw, XChat is nice
[11:16] <MHobbit> X-Chat is good...
[11:16] <stapol> Jesse, are you a premium hotmail user (pay)
[11:16] <phr34ck> juano, I understand now, thanks.
[11:16] <lmosher> !wpa
[11:16] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:16] <freshburn> selahone file parsed ok
[11:16] <andreasw> Enverex: yes I know I don't understand why it isn't installed by default
[11:16] <Jesse> stapol:>no
[11:16] <stapol> Jesse, pop3 wont work
[11:16] <incubus> rt
[11:16] <juano> phr34ck: i think you can use the  ubuntu DVD for that yes, i really wouldnt know well how to do it from there cause i use gparted and partition magic
[11:16] <cappiz> someone knows what type of motherboard is inside IBM eServer xseries 345... is it E-ATX or?
[11:16] <Enverex> andreasw, Why would it be? Let people chose what they want rather than installing loads of stuff people may not want
[11:16] <Jesse> stapol:>I have tried i keep coming up with nothing
[11:16] <phr34ck> juano, okay, thanks for your help.
[11:16] <juano> phr34ck: ive got the gparted live cd
[11:16] <selahone> freshburn have you created a gui root login and are logged in as root? I'm running out of ideas. lol
[11:17] <juano> phr34ck: its very usefull
[11:17] <gma> Jesse: google makes me suspect it's not easy. thunderbird appears to support it.
[11:17] <juano> phr34ck: you can boot with that cd, comes with a little linux kernel and all the partitioning utils
[11:17] <phr34ck> I never used gparted yet. Only when I was installing Ubuntu.
[11:17] <freshburn> selahone ive created and enabled the root login in kdmrc but i am NOT loged in as root
[11:17] <gma> Jesse: but it looks like it does some page scraping or similar
[11:17] <andreasw> sorry just reconnected someone telled me something but I could not read it
[11:17] <freshburn> nor at a root shell
[11:17] <juano> phr34ck: you can do this
[11:17] <liseka1> hello there, is there anyone willing to help a completely blank beginner? got a problem with msn on gaim...
[11:17] <Jesse> gma:> it doesn't
[11:17] <dwebb> hello peoples
[11:17] <phr34ck> I'm going to try to boot from that DVD, and see where I'll go from there.
[11:17] <selahone> freshburn sorry then I'm out of ideas.
[11:17] <juano> phr34ck: boot with DVD and select install ubuntu
[11:18] <freshburn> k
[11:18] <juano> then inside the DVD you can delete partitions you want
[11:18] <freshburn> selahone it seems it started behaving that way once i enabled the root login
[11:18] <phr34ck> Because my Ubuntu is very messed up right now, and I'm not going to spend weeks trying to figure out what's the right thing to do, so I'll just format.
[11:18] <Jesse> gma:> you can import messages but you can't login to the server
[11:18] <DARKGuy> !anyone | liseka1
[11:18] <ubotu> liseka1: 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?
[11:18] <rmorris84> my cd rom isn't working..
[11:18] <linux_kid> How do I wine Dreamweaver8 w/o the install cd (its installed on windozes)
[11:18] <gma> Jesse: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#webmail
[11:18] <juano> phr34ck: after deleting the partitions you want just install using existing free space
[11:18] <dwebb> yeah format and re try here to
[11:18] <gh0st> hello, my update-manager  is constantly trying to make distributions-update and then fails... is it trying to go to feisty or what?
[11:19] <rmorris84> are there any packages I should check to make sure they are installed
[11:19] <[BTF] Chm0d> if anyone can answer this question that would be great.  I installed linux-686-smp shouldn't i have that option via boot-up?
[11:19] <selahone> freshburn the only other thing I can think of is that whatever method you used to create a root login in ubuntu somehow gave root status to the user id you are logged in on.
[11:19] <juano> phr34ck: yeah boot with the DVD and when your in the installer just delete the partitions
[11:19] <phr34ck> juano, that's what I'm going to do.
[11:19] <phr34ck> Well, time to format, see you =)
[11:19] <juano> phr34ck: good luck!

[11:19] <georgy> phr34ck : you can use cfdisk to do this in a console
[11:19] <DARKGuy> linux_kid: Um, he actually asked his question xD
[11:20] <freshburn> selahone i changed allow root login from false to true in the file KDMRC and in the user manager gui from the K menu i clicked enabled instead of disabled on the root account page
[11:20] <n2diy> BTF, my smp kernel just starts, no options offered.
[11:20] <liseka1> ubotu: meh... sure! I get reading and writing errors when logging on msn from gaim, and I don't why (ICQ works just fine)
[11:20] <[BTF] Chm0d> i thought my real question was in there sheez
[11:20] <jordo23> liseka1: ubotu is not a real person
[11:20] <linux_kid> DARKGuy: the first sentance...
[11:20] <TroubledUser> Linux_kid you plug in a pen drive and copy dreamweaver there then boot up linux an wine it from there
[11:20] <DARKGuy> linux_kid: but he stated his question afterwards *shrug* anyways
[11:20] <linux_kid> TroubledUser: thanks

[11:21] <liseka1> ohh... I haven't used irc in years, so I have no clue :-P
[11:21] <freshburn> k
[11:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> has anyone installed linux-686-smp?  If so do you get the option to boot up in that kernel?
[11:21] <freshburn> ty anyways
[11:21] <freshburn> l8tr all
[11:21] <n2diy> BTF, yes
[11:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm
[11:21] <bigfuzzyjesus> !nvidia
[11:21] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:21] <juano> [BTF] Chm0d: you mean in grub?
[11:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> i installed it and i dont have that option
[11:21] <dwebb> hey people looking for a good link for lidcss2 mepis look on the net cant find a good site any help here if i may asking
[11:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> yes in grub
[11:21] <rmorris84> !cdrom
[11:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdrom - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> during bootup
[11:21] <Shaba1> Hello anyone here a dual windows unbuntu user that has used partition logic?
[11:22] <n2diy> ChmOd, yes, I have.
[11:22] <juano> [BTF] Chm0d: youll have to configure it maybe in /boot/grub.lst
[11:22] <TroubledUser> Can anyone help me? My ubuntu wont boot and it gives and error an leaves me in BusyBox, the error is here http://pastebin.com/861611
[11:22] <selahone> There isn't a strictly i686 install iso anymore is there?
[11:22] <dwebb> oops if i may ask
[11:22] <[BTF] Chm0d> i would have figured it did that itself
[11:22] <[BTF] Chm0d> ;(
[11:22] <selahone> I've read the generic kernel gives you the i686 optimizations, so they cut down on the number of iso versions.
[11:23] <juano> [BTF] Chm0d: yea.. not sure though.. cause if dont show in grub then its for sure an issue there
[11:23] <fnord123> how do i find out what region my dvd firmware thinks it's looking at?
[11:23] <[BTF] Chm0d> k im lookin into it thank you
[11:23] <dwebb> ok well do i used lidcss but have not known there to be a 2 at the end .
[11:23] <selahone> [BTFChm0d, what does uname -a in a terminal window tell you?
[11:23] <Shaba1> I wanted to know if I could get space taken up by the linux partition back without reformating the hd,ending up with TWO windwos NTFS partitions, or other such problems.
[11:24] <Shaba1> Ok now I want ot know am I still here since no one is saying anyting and I think the firewall has frozen me again
[11:24] <georgy> selahone : kernel version
[11:24] <dwebb> your here
[11:24] <adaptr> georgy: yes, we know
[11:24] <dwebb> hehe
[11:24] <[BTF] Chm0d> selahone: Linux rich-desktop 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP
[11:24] <selahone> georgy yeah I think it also tells you if it's SMP?
[11:24] <n2diy> Shaba1: we're hearing you.
[11:25] <LinTux> How can I get the model of my Nvidia card via terminal
[11:25] <SavatageBT> does any one know where I can find good information on installing oracle-xe on a ubuntu server...
[11:25] <selahone> [BTF] Chm0d did you uname -a or uname -r?
[11:25] <[BTF] Chm0d> uname -a
[11:25] <georgy> adaptr : question --> answer
[11:25] <n2diy> LinTux: lshw
[11:25] <juano> LinTux: try glxinfo
[11:25] <adaptr> georgy: yes, but you did not understand the question ;-)
[11:25] <TroubledUser> Can anyone help me? My ubuntu wont boot and it gives and error an leaves me in BusyBox, the error is here http://pastebin.com/861611, plz?
[11:26] <dwebb> is ubuntu all most of you people are using just a question if i may ask?
[11:26] <georgy> adaptr : ok, read to fast
[11:26] <selahone> uname -a gives me: Linux selah000 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:26] <adaptr> dwebb: do you mean exclusively ?
[11:26] <mpt> Rheeeeeeeeeeeeet!
[11:26] <JNeverMind> i recently switched to ubuntu from win and loving it!  on my laptop (p3-650/256 ram i notice the whole desktop experience is quite a bit laggy, compared to xp runs pretty good on this lappy
[11:26] <afief> TroubledUser: sounds like your second hard drive isn't being recognized
[11:27] <dwebb> no i know there are other distro's
[11:27] <LinTux> Cheers everyone
[11:27] <JNeverMind> i have installed 686 but is there something else glaring i should do to speed it up ?
[11:27] <juano> LinTux: try this: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "nv*"
[11:27] <adaptr> dwebb: in that case, no - I have a Real World Job that requires Windows
[11:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> thats what i got selahone
[11:27] <gh0st> can i remove nvidia-glx?
[11:27] <TroubledUser> any ideas, afief?
[11:27] <mpt> hi crimsun
[11:27] <gh0st> or will nvidia drivers get removed too?
[11:27] <TroubledUser> But i can mount it from the live cd
[11:27] <adaptr> gh0st: no, but you won't have hardware opengl anymore
[11:27] <LjL> gh0st: uh? nvidia-glx *is* the nvidia driver
[11:27] <n2diy> afief: second hard drive, hda is the first hard drive, 2 is the partiton, no?
[11:27] <dwebb> lol that happen's some times adaptr
[11:27] <adaptr> LjL: erm.. not in th eleast
[11:27] <DARKGuy> dwebb: I use Ubuntu, but have a windows partition I use for gaming :p
[11:28] <LinTux> juano: Thanks m8

[11:28] <dwebb> yup me to
[11:28] <afief> TroubledUser, You could check if it is recognized in your BIOS, if it is formatted right...
[11:28] <Spee_Der> Anyone who can assist with Nvidia G Force dual head video card please ?
[11:28] <SHRIKEE> is gaim installed by default on ubuntu?
[11:28] <black_13> !ripping
[11:28] <ubotu> For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application, read the Gnome help (Applications- Multimedia -Sound Juicer Manual). To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar; it's configurable in system settings.
[11:28] <adaptr> LjL: at last count, there are *three* nvidia drivers, all of which you need to get hardware opengl in xorg
[11:28] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm another problem.  i have a fresh install of ubunutu and i try to open up my DVD rom and I dont have permissions
[11:28] <jon_> shrikee: yes
[11:28] <selahone> [BTF] Chm0d from what I've read that means we are running the correct kernel for a i686 smp system.
[11:28] <dwebb> i am using mepis on this old dell
[11:28] <SHRIKEE> thanks
[11:28] <DARKGuy> hey Spee_Der, s'up with it? :/
[11:28] <dwebb> laptop
[11:28] <gh0st> adaptr; LjL well i think it's broken: "Investigating nvidia-glx
[11:28] <gh0st> Package nvidia-glx has broken dep on nvidia-kernel-1.0.9629
[11:28] <gh0st>   Considering linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic 3 as a solution to nvidia-glx 0
[11:28] <gh0st>   Removing nvidia-glx rather than change nvidia-kernel-1.0.9629"
[11:28] <afief> TroubledUser, Oh sorry, as n2diy pointed out it is your second partition that can't be found not hard drive. Sorry, my mistake
[11:28] <gh0st> oh sorry for flood
[11:28] <[BTF] Chm0d> ty much selahone
[11:28] <LjL> adaptr: i meant the X driver module
[11:28] <hairulfr> Hey
[11:28] <Spee_Der> Hey DARK dude ! How are you doing ? And, happy new year mate !
[11:29] <JNeverMind> i wonder how many ppl in this chan are actually ON ubuntu riht now, i am
[11:29] <eric_>  Message could not be sent because a connection error occurred:
[11:29] <eric_> whtas is that?
[11:29] <adaptr> LjL: nvidia-glx is not the X driver
[11:29] <LjL> adaptr: dpkg -L nvidia-glx    ->    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
[11:29] <juano> JNeverMind: ubuntu here :P
[11:29] <hairulfr> eric_: MSN is screwed right now
[11:29] <DARKGuy> XD pretty nice Spee_Der ^_^ making a game programming toolkit for Linux in OpenGL :P happy new year to you too! :D ^_^
[11:29] <eric_> doh
[11:29] <DARKGuy> hairulfr: is it global?
[11:29] <TroubledUser> It is formatted right
[11:29] <mpt> crimsun, I've finished attaching all the info to the bug report
[11:29] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: I got a new video card. It has 256 megs ! Wow !
[11:29] <gh0st> adaptr: what do you think of the error message?
[11:29] <eric_>  thanks
[11:29] <TroubledUser> i think
[11:29] <TroubledUser> because i can mount it
[11:29] <selahone> I'm using ubuntu but I just finished my grub partition and I'm gonna install kubuntu next. lol
[11:29] <jon_> !xfree86
[11:29] <DARKGuy> Spee_Der: whoah, congrats o.o!
[11:29] <crimsun> mpt: ok, looking
[11:29] <adaptr> LjL: reall ? so where is the opengl driver?
[11:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xfree86 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:30] <afief> DARKGuy: what game programming toolkit?
[11:30] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: I can't quite get the 2nd screen to properly respond, yet.... I need it for research programs and such.....
[11:30] <adaptr> gh0st: you have nvidia binaries installed beyond what ubuntu offers - rectify that and you should be fine
[11:30] <hairulfr> DARKGuy: Don't know, but in Denmark it doesn't work, I can see online user but not write them and they can't write me
[11:30] <cappiz> is it possible to have a minimal gnome desktop install?
[11:30] <LjL> adaptr: in the very same package, i think
[11:30] <gh0st> adaptr: you mean using default repos for them?
[11:30] <DARKGuy> hairulfr: same here in Venezuela, MSN got screwed globally, crap :/
[11:30] <LinTux> Anybody know where I can get a driver for my Nvidia 7300LE PCI-E card
[11:30] <dwebb> new to the linux game here as far as Os wise burned like 10 diffrent ones and tried them out mepis and ubuntu work best on this dell 1100 inspiron.
[11:30] <crimsun> mpt: is audio audible currently?
[11:30] <DARKGuy> Spee_Der: Hm, did you try your old dual monitor config I helped you with before ?
[11:31] <erUSUL> LinTux: nvidia.com ?
[11:31] <erUSUL> !nvidia | LinTux
[11:31] <ubotu> LinTux: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:31] <LjL> gh0st: if you're on edgy, normally you shouldn't have nvidia-kernel-whatever intalled at all, i think, except nvidia-kernel-common
[11:31] <afief> hairulfr: same here, it's most likely the server. MSN server problems are quite common
[11:31] <DARKGuy> afief: but rare, pretty rare
[11:31] <mpt> crimsun, no
[11:31] <Mikey> someone else it having msn problems :S ?
[11:31] <hairulfr> afief:  Where are you?
[11:31] <cappiz> yeah
[11:31] <DARKGuy> Yeah, the MSN thing is global dude
[11:31] <hairulfr> Mikey: Yeah, most of us
[11:31] <[BTF] Chm0d> when i click on my dvd drive on desktop i get this Unable to enter file:///media/cdrom1. You do not have access rights to this location.
[11:31] <Mikey> whoa
[11:31] <gh0st> LjL: well i installed beryl so i had to add new repos; and btw it seems to work great except the apt
[11:31] <adaptr> LjL: you're right - but still, when talking about nvidia-glx, I usually mean nvidia's libglx.so, as that is also an nvidia binary driver, and part of the nvidia kernel module set.. the only open source bit of the trio is the nvidia xorg driver AFAIK
[11:31] <crimsun> mpt: in a Terminal, please execute: amixer set 'Master Mono' 80%,unmute && amixer set 'External Amplifier' mute
[11:32] <afief> hairulfr: Israel, trying to talk to people from europe, USA and middle east
[11:32] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: Well. Funny you should ask. No. I thought about it though.....  MAybe I will try it just for kicks.  I thought I'd d/l'd the proper nvidia drivers etc, but nada as yet. First screen is just great....
[11:32] <gh0st> adaptr: you mean to return to default repos (before)?
[11:32] <adaptr> gh0st: I mean not installing nvidia binaries that will break on your kernel version :)
[11:32] <Mikey> well, i dont wat to hog this room with this, but is there a channel where we can talk about msn?
[11:32] <DARKGuy> Spee_Der: Hehe, the nvidia drivers don't set up dual monitor for you, that's something you have to do manually :P
[11:32] <adaptr> gh0st: that 99.xxmilliongazillions you';re using is even friggin beta on Windoze
[11:32] <Mikey> perhaps #msn?
[11:32] <hairulfr> afief: Sweden is the same apparently
[11:32] <afief> DarkGuy: huh? MSN has a terrible track record for me, even when i used their client. but you never told me what game toolkit you mentioned before
[11:32] <gh0st> adaptr: i feat that if i remove them, my aiglx/beryl might not work anymore :-(
[11:33] <hairulfr> MSN: Authentication failed
[11:33] <DARKGuy> Spee_Der: Actually, I fixed my howto and now it's correct: http://dragon2008.blogspot.com - you could try that howto, and see my xorg.conf (if you want) and I could help you to set it up again :D
[11:33] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: Yeh, I noticed that feature.
[11:33] <n2diy> Mikey: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:33] <adaptr> gh0st: I will guarantee you that they won't work, until you re-install the ubuntu drivers - why did you change them ?
[11:33] <jon_> !xorg
[11:33] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:33] <LjL> adaptr: to make beryl run, i'd assume
[11:33] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: Ok, let me have a look at that and I'll be back later... Many thanks again.....  Nice to see you still here and plugging along....
[11:34] <DARKGuy> afief: Weird, the last time I had MSN problems was with Live back when the new Live version was just released from the beta :P - game toolkit? I'll make it brief: http://gp3d.sourceforge.net :P
[11:34] <gh0st> adaptr: because it was written in a howto and i tought they were the newest. so what can i do to KEEP beryl?
[11:34] <adaptr> LjL: never needed to - unless he has a way too new video card
[11:34] <jon_> damn, with the help of the faq in the topic and ubotu i don't need to ask 9/10 questions i have
[11:34] <DARKGuy> Spee_Der: Hehe, good luck ^_^ same goes for you ^_^
[11:34] <LjL> adaptr: if you use Xgl, then i guess they aren't needed, but otherwise i think you'd need them
[11:34] <adaptr> gh0st: you don't need to do anything - just uninstall the alien nvidia binary and install the normal ubuntu one
[11:34] <mpt> crimsun, done that, launched Rhythmbox, tried to play a CD, still nothing
[11:34] <dwebb> were would go to get answers to run a server under linx
[11:34] <adaptr> LjL: nonsense - I have edgy on aiglx and it's running just fine here
[11:34] <qwehnce> is there anyway to install ubuntu without having to boot the livecd
[11:34] <graft> dwebb: #ubuntu-server
[11:34] <gh0st> adaptr: that's what i'll do; but do you think beryl won't work then anymore?
[11:34] <dwebb> ooops were would i go to get i mean
[11:35] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: Later you will have to tell me more about the game programming thing also.....
[11:35] <Spee_Der> Cheers for now....
[11:35] <afief> DarkGuy, Weird, I guess you are being supported by a different server than me then:S it has happened before that all of a sudden half my contacts would be disconnected for no reason
[11:35] <dwebb> ok graft thanks
[11:35] <DARKGuy> Spee_Der: XD sure will :D
[11:35] <phiqtion> what command tells me what video card this system has?
[11:35] <crimsun> mpt: ok, and after the following command?  amixer set '3D Control - Switch' unmute
[11:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> could anyone tell me if my fstab is ok?  cuz it wont let me access my DVD which is cdrom1 http://www.pastebin.ca/319956
[11:35] <georgy> qwehnce, : use the alternate cd
[11:35] <vinboy> how do I make the console colorful?
[11:35] <jrib> phiqtion: lspci
[11:35] <adaptr> gh0st: I am telling you that it works for me; it *might* not work if you have a $500 nvidia monster that's say less than 6 months old
[11:35] <n2diy> phiqtion: lshw
[11:35] <jrib> vinboy: google  bash prompt color
[11:35] <hairulfr> vinboy: get the package "konsole" it does all kinds of tricks
[11:35] <gh0st> adaptr: well i havent (6600 :-))
[11:35] <vinboy> ok thanks
[11:36] <adaptr> gh0st: I have on eof those - they work great
[11:36] <DARKGuy> afief: Ah, yeah, same thing has happened to me before, but when logging in, it's like a contact flood @.@ lag I guess, but no other problems. Who knows, they might have tons of servers to support the different worldwide countries and maybe they're having a mass problem in there
[11:36] <DARKGuy> afief: either way, gotta wait xD.
[11:36] <mpt> crimsun, still nothing
[11:36] <LjL> adaptr: then you should probably edit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy and quite a few other official howtos to correct that, i suppose
[11:36] <gh0st> adaptr: so i could just remove fix the sources.list, reinstall the original nvidia-glx, and i'm done?
[11:36] <faeryNatsuki> OpenOffice it's unstable on edgy
[11:36] <adaptr> gh0st: Version: 1.0.8776+2.6.17.7-10.1 on both my machines
[11:36] <faeryNatsuki> any solution?
[11:37] <mick_> Hi
[11:37] <afief> DARKGuy: When was the last time Microsoft did something right anyway?:P Is the toolkit only for the graphic part of the game or does it also cover the Audio aspects?
[11:37] <JNeverMind> is p3-650 256 ram not good enough for ubuntu/ what do you guys think my desktop is very laggy
[11:37] <Aggrav8d> hello, *
[11:37] <qwehnce> georgy, what alternate cd, the website just pushes you to a bunch of mirrors
[11:37] <TheoMurpse> I have gone into Network Settings and configured my wireless connection with proper ssid and password, but it won't connect. With "dhclient" it won't work either. Can someone help me diagnose the problem?
[11:37] <adaptr> LjL: you're saying I cannot run beryl on aiglx with my 87.76 drivers ? because I am , sort of, right now, doing that...
[11:37] <Aggrav8d> is there any way to undelete files/folders from the command line?
[11:37] <JNeverMind> opening text document or even console its a few seconds to open
[11:37] <georgy> qwehnce, : choice un mirror ;-)
[11:37] <Aggrav8d> some tool just ran rm -rf on a folder we didn't have backed up
[11:37] <Rogue_> anyone here familiar with preseed configs?
[11:37] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: there is no way, period
[11:38] <dwebb> i got change my nickname to login there hmm
[11:38] <Aggrav8d> adaptr - that's what i feared.  thanks.
[11:38] <andreasw> Aggrav8d, try the program recover if you use ext3

[11:38] <Aggrav8d> andreasw - how do i do that?
[11:38] <DARKGuy> afief: Ahaha, you're right XD (the xbox is cool though o.o!, weird it uses a Mac processor :P!). It does mostly all gameprogramming needs: 3D, 2D, audio, video, sound, AI, etc xD
[11:38] <andreasw> Aggrav8d, sudo apt-get install recover
[11:38] <Linuturk> has there been a ubuntu release of flash yet?
[11:38] <crimsun> mpt: ok, and after the following?  amixer set 'Capture' nocap && amixer set 'Aux' 80%,80%,unmute && amixer set 'Phone' 80%,unmute && amixer set 'Video' 80%,80%,unmute && amixer set 'Line' 80%,80%,unmute
[11:38] <Linuturk> flash 9?
[11:38] <DARKGuy> afief: or so I hope the project becomes in the future.
[11:38] <qwehnce> georgy, thanks.
[11:38] <andreasw> Aggrav8d, But I have never used it ;)
[11:39] <faeryNatsuki> hey please help me, i have a very big problem here with open office and i need it to finish a work
[11:39] <adaptr> DARKGuy: the xbox uses a "Mac processor" ? A. no, it does not, and B. what is that ?
[11:39] <crimsun> Linuturk: I uploaded to Feisty about 8 hours ago.
[11:39] <TheoMurpse> adaptr: I'm sure he meant PPC
[11:39] <Linuturk> crimsun, what about Edgy?
[11:39] <adaptr> TheoMurpse: well, I did figure that out, yes - still nonsense
[11:39] <DARKGuy> adaptr: Then I read wrong. I thought I read somewhere that one of the xboxs used some thing of Macintosh processor or something related to apple
[11:39] <crimsun> Linuturk: Edgy's released already; you need to request a backport from Feisty.
[11:39] <DARKGuy> *shrug*
[11:40] <afief> DARKGuy: AI too? O_O Where do i send donations?
[11:40] <faeryNatsuki> open offcie is crashing a lot, i don't know if it's a problem related to edgy or to the open office 2.0.4 version
[11:40] <Linuturk> crimsun, um, how do I "request a backport" ?
[11:40] <adaptr> DARKGuy: the original xbox runs on a bog-standard nforce1 chipset )nvidia created the nforce for the xbox) and a P3 733MHz
[11:40] <hjmills> hi all - how do i find out what gparted suggests from the cli - i want to edit ntfs stuff from gparted
[11:40] <TheoMurpse> juano: i just get DHCPDISCOVER on ra0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval X, for a while, then an error: No DHCPOFFERS RECEIVED. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[11:40] <crimsun> !backports |Linuturk
[11:40] <ubotu> Linuturk: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[11:40] <adaptr> DARKGuy: the xbox 360 runs on a custom triple-core motorola CPU @ roughly 10GHz
[11:40] <TheDebugger> 10ghz...
[11:40] <TheDebugger> hahaha
[11:40] <TheDebugger> 3.2 :)
[11:40] <nixternal> heh
[11:40] <juano> TheoMurpse: are you connected to a DHCP server? how is your connection setup?
[11:40] <Enverex> adaptr, That's even worse clock to performance ratio than the Pentium 4s
[11:40] <adaptr> DARKGuy: motorola did indeed produce the PPC cpu series (although they designed them with IBM), but motorola does lots of things
[11:41] <Aggrav8d> andreasw - I fear it is all gone :T
[11:41] <adaptr> Enverex: uh ?
[11:41] <Aggrav8d> oh well.  lesson learned.
[11:41] <TheDebugger> And no... 3 3.2Ghz core is not 10Ghz
[11:41] <crimsun> mpt: if you have some spare moments later, please attempt to reproduce using a Feisty Herd 2 desktop cd
[11:41] <hjmills> DARKGuy, i heard talk of the xbox360 using a powerpc core but if the above is true then that must have been a rumour or a lie
[11:41] <Enverex> adaptr, Well for 3 10GHz cores they suck quite badly
[11:41] <DARKGuy> afief: XD if there could be a way, I'd tell you x). You can contribute though :) - adaptr: o.o now then, I was so mistaken x). That thing of motorola producing the PPC cpu series was what I read and I guess I took it wrong :P
[11:41] <mpt> crimsun, that produced lots of output, but still no sound
[11:41] <andreasw> Aggrav8d, what have you done?
[11:41] <adaptr> TheDebugger: 9.6 - go be anal :)
[11:41] <faeryNatsuki> does anybody else haved troubles using openoffice?
[11:41] <hjmills> TheDebugger, so is it a triple core or triple cpu machine?
[11:41] <namelesss> tiens TheDebugger tu t'initie  l'anglais ?
[11:41] <afief> DARKGuy: I have been very disappointed by linux not having ONE thing that's equal to DirectX on windows(i know you can get the same with SDL+OpenGL+(whatever audio library) but that's too much API for me)
[11:41] <DARKGuy> faeryNatsuki: doing what?
[11:41] <ikonia_> openoffice is fine here
[11:41] <TheoMurpse> juano: I have a Linksys WRT54G and am trying to connect wirelessly. I know the proper wireless module (rt2500) is running because when I ran gentoo, I used the same module. Also, the Ubuntu LiveCD worked, but not once I install to the HD with Ubuntu. I have DHCP turned on on my router.
[11:42] <Shaba1> Hello am I here
[11:42] <Aggrav8d> andreasw - some tool in my office with more privilege than he should have had rm -rf'd a folder full of development material that was not backed up.
[11:42] <Linuturk> crimsun, so I'm looking for fiesty backports?
[11:42] <hjmills> faeryNatsuki, I didnt when I used it last (for a-levels last yr)
[11:42] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: he's fired, I presume ?
[11:42] <DARKGuy> afief: Same here, I want to make it easier =)
[11:42] <crimsun> mpt: ok, one last thing to attach, the output from: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/*
[11:42] <faeryNatsuki> i'm trying to work with impress, but every time i need to delete a breakline impress crashes
[11:42] <Linuturk> crimsun, because I already have Edgy backports enabled
[11:42] <Aggrav8d> seems he tried to delete a symbolic link folder via samba and it decided instead to delete the original folder.
[11:42] <andreasw> Aggrav8d, hmm thats not good which program was that?
[11:42] <faeryNatsuki> and i lost a lot of work
[11:42] <afief> DarkGuy, My programming skills aren't that good, they aren't bad though. If i can get myself to read through the code i'll see what i can contribute(I hate reading long codes others wrote)
[11:42] <DARKGuy> x_x
[11:42] <juano> TheoMurpse: paste your ifconfig in ubuntu pastebin
[11:42] <faeryNatsuki> saving files using writer crashed too
[11:42] <juano> TheoMurpse: type ifconfig then paste it
[11:43] <faeryNatsuki> i need to work withouth thwe openoffice crashing all the time
[11:43] <faeryNatsuki> :S
[11:43] <mpt> crimsun, no such file or directory
[11:43] <adaptr> Enverex: oh.. okay, no , 3x 3.2 GHz, but I "equated" that to a single CPU, since both the P3 and all PPCs were single cores
[11:43] <DARKGuy> afief: Hehe, that's okay ^_^ the more the better :D (and yeah, I hate that too, that's why we're trying to keep everything simple everywhere)
[11:43] <nickspoon> faeryNatsuki: how much RAM do you have?
[11:43] <mpt> crimsun, oh, wait, my fault
[11:43] <faeryNatsuki> 512 Mb
[11:43] <namelesss> faeryNatsuki, openoffice crashing, could you develop on it ?
[11:43] <juano> TheoMurpse: you need to add a route command, but i need to know the ip ranges your setting up
[11:43] <Enverex> adaptr, You're sure it has 3 3.2Ghz cores? heh
[11:43] <nickspoon> faeryNatsuki: try disabling the Java Environment. hand on, I'll find out how...
[11:44] <faeryNatsuki> i can't develop, and i need to finish a work today, no time for coding
[11:44] <afief> DARKGuy, is the 0.0.1 the only source available or have i missed the link to an SVN/CVS somewhere?
[11:44] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: then the person who set up samba is to blame - this behaviour is configurable
[11:44] <adaptr> Enverex: very, yes
[11:44] <Aggrav8d> adaptr - that would be me.  *sigh*
[11:44] <DARKGuy> afief: I need to know how to get SVN running first x) so for now, all there is is the 0.0.1 code until I find out how to set SVN up :P
[11:44] <namelesss> faeryNatsuki, what do u means by "openoffice craching all the time ?"
[11:44] <Aggrav8d> we are all guilty of something :T
[11:44] <crimsun> mpt: afterward, we'll try the reset approach with the following commands:  kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*) && sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep ^snd|awk '{print $1}') && sudo rm -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state && sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0
[11:44] <Aggrav8d> anyways, i have to get started on rebuilding it from our notes.
[11:44] <jrib> Aggrav8d: no backups?
[11:44] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: you can configure samba to allow share access to follow symlinks, or not
[11:45] <nickspoon> faeryNatsuki: Tools/Options/Openoffice/Java/uncheck the box.
[11:45] <Aggrav8d> jrib - apparently no.
[11:45] <mpt> crimsun, attached, so shall I try that next pile of sudoage and awkage now?
[11:45] <afief> DarkGuy, any idea how i can contact you in case i get my lazy ass off this chair and decide to contribute?
[11:45] <crimsun> mpt: yessir
[11:45] <faeryNatsuki> namelesss: i mean i'm working in a textbox in impres, when i need to deleate a breakline, to merge text in same line, the impress crashes
[11:45] <Aggrav8d> and i'm shocked to see the partition isn't ext2 or ext3.  what does ubuntu install by default?
[11:45] <jewbilee> How do I unmount a partition?
[11:45] <andreasw> Aggrav8d, ext3
[11:45] <jrib> Aggrav8d: that's the biggest mistake.  I think we all make it until something like this happens, just take it as motivation to have backups from now on
[11:45] <namelesss> ho :/
[11:45] <Aggrav8d> i'm trying to sudo recover -a and it just segfaults.
[11:45] <faeryNatsuki> namelesss: it send me an error message and "recover" the file
[11:45] <jrib> jewbilee: umount foo
[11:45] <DARKGuy> afief: XD sure, darkguy2008 at users.sourceforge.net , or send a PM through the forum too :P
[11:45] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: and the only restriction you could put on a symlink *inside* a shared directory is to disallow deleting it - since samba knows nothing about the existence - or the very concept - of symlinks, it will happily delete the contents
[11:46] <faeryNatsuki> and i just only make 5% of my job today because i can't use that program
[11:46] <namelesss> that's suck
[11:46] <afief> darkguy, which forum?
[11:46] <vln004> can someone help me associate xchat-gnome with firefox?
[11:46] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: note that this is by *design*, since it is impossible to "see" if something is a symlink from an SMB/CIFS client
[11:46] <matty> hi all
[11:46] <DARKGuy> afief: the project's forum, http://gp3d.sourceforge.net/forum/
[11:46] <graft> vln004: yeah um, goto about:config
[11:47] <TheoMurpse> juano: sorry about that...did you ask anything after I told you about my Linksys WRT54TG? I think my net connect6ion dropped but was not reported.
[11:47] <vln004> ok, which key is it?
[11:47] <wolfwalker> I require net assistanc
[11:47] <Shaba1> Ok am I back
[11:47] <riotkittie> let's rehash. backups are rad.
[11:47] <gh0st> adaptr: ok, i think everything went fine; beryl it's still working thanks for the help
[11:47] <graft> vln004: one sec... um
[11:47] <juano> TheoMurpse: yes, type ifconfig and paste it in the ubuntu pastebin
[11:47] <matty> anyone who knows moving avrage in C ? , Ive got a very simple equation for it but either Im doing it wrong or gcc does somehing wierd to the code
[11:47] <Shaba1> can ANYONE see this typing
[11:47] <jrib> Shaba1: yes
[11:47] <adaptr> Aggrav8d: the partition surely is ext3, but you may be looking at its LVM container
[11:47] <Pipeman> Shaba1: no
[11:47] <wolfwalker> When I run pppoeconf, it says it can't get the access concentrator to respond
[11:47] <afief> DarkGuy: I'll be looking forward to see what i can mess up with your code:)
[11:47] <adaptr> gh0st: np
[11:47] <adaptr> gh0st: I mean yw :)
[11:47] <juano> TheoMurpse: i need to know the ip ranges your using for a route command
[11:47] <graft> vln004: network.protocol-handler.app.irc => /usr/bin/xchat-2-firefox
[11:47] <DARKGuy> afief: you and me both XD but thanks! ^^
[11:47] <gh0st> yw?
[11:48] <mpt> omg, that notification bubble had a pie chart in it
[11:48] <mpt> eww
[11:48] <graft> vln004: network.protocol-handler.external.irc => true
[11:48] <TheoMurpse> juano: give me a few mins, I have to type it all up since the computer that doesn't work has no internet connectivity
[11:48] <wolfwalker> The connection is ethernet cable, and it did work before
[11:48] <graft> vln004: or whatever your xchat binary is
[11:48] <crimsun> mpt: yes, obnoxiously, sorry about that
[11:48] <afief> DarkGuy, thanks to you :-)
[11:48] <juano> TheoMurpse: ok, just tell me if you use 192.168.0.0 net
[11:48] <gh0st> adaptr: what does "yw" mean? and btw, my animations are a LOT more fluid now, i really don't know why but it's great :-)
[11:48] <hipertracker> My Ubuntu 6.10 cannot recognize my network, sata disks, even processor is not displayed (athl64x2 4200+). Motherboard is GigaByte K8N Ultra9. There is no drivers for Linux on GigaByte site. What to do?
[11:48] <DARKGuy> ^^
[11:48] <hjmills> what do i need to install to let gparted fiddle with ntfs partitions?
[11:49] <mpt> crimsun, all done, still no sound
[11:49] <juano> TheoMurpse: can you ping the router correctly? do you recieve a response?
[11:49] <crimsun> mpt: ok, thanks. Just to confirm, is this machine running the latest stable bios?
[11:49] <N1k-11> hello, anyone seen this error message in GAIM before ? "Message could not be sent because an error with the switchboard occurred:"
[11:49] <adaptr> gh0st: You're Welcome
[11:49] <adaptr> gh0st: stick with Stable :)
[11:49] <matty> what is wrong with the following code: float val= ((calls++-1)/calls);
[11:49] <mpt> crimsun, I don't know, how would I tell?
[11:49] <black_13> i have attempted to add mp3 abilities to  juicer but no luck i keep getting the error "The currenlty selected audio profile is not available on your installation"
[11:49] <gh0st> adaptr: depends on what :-)
[11:50] <crimsun> mpt: ok, that would require a bit of research on the particular laptop/motherboard you're using
[11:50] <pppl> hello!
[11:51] <TheoMurpse> joano: no I cannot ping the router from the computer with no connectivity because it has no connectivity. As it's not part of any network (cannot get an IP) I cannot ping it, right? In any case http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1982/plain/ is the ifconfig text for the related interface.
[11:51] <DARKGuy> Brb.
[11:51] <mister_roboto> matty: it's always tricky relying on side effects like the value of calls after applying the ++ operator when you're using it again in the same expression
[11:51] <TheoMurpse> juano: no I cannot ping the router from the computer with no connectivity because it has no connectivity. As it's not part of any network (cannot get an IP) I cannot ping it, right? In any case http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1982/plain/ is the ifconfig text for the related interface.
[11:51] <faeryNatsuki> nickspoon: how can i disalble de java for openoffice?
[11:51] <pppl> did anyone around here get the 2.6.19-kernel running within ubuntu 6.06.1? or does someone how a good tutorial how to do that?
[11:51] <matty> mister_roboto:well I tried to move ++ out and it does not affect
[11:51] <TheoMurpse> juano: however, I can ping it just fine from the same wireless computer within XP by only booting into XP instead of Ubuntu.
[11:51] <hipertracker> My Ubuntu 6.10 cannot recognize my network, sata disks, even processor is not displayed (athl64x2 4200+). Motherboard is GigaByte K8N Ultra9. There is no drivers for Linux on GigaByte site. What to do?
[11:52] <adaptr> TheoMurpse: ra0 is not a usual interface...
[11:52] <juano> TheoMurpse: ahh ok, i see
[11:52] <matty> mister_roboto: I can calculate manually and it cumputes correctly but in C it doesnt..
[11:52] <MHobbit> When trying to boot from an Efty Edge CD, the menu screen shows up fine, but when I try to actually boot Ubuntu, I get a kernel panic error. I've checked the ISO's MD5 sum, and that matched, and the CD seemed to have burned fine.
[11:52] <TheoMurpse> adaptr: It's the one that was setup automatically. Same as when I installed Gentoo. ra0 is a ralink interface 0.
[11:52] <adaptr> TheoMurpse: oh.. ralink... are you using ndiswrapper ? you kinda have to
[11:52] <mpt> crimsun, ok, thanks for your help
[11:52] <mister_roboto> matty: i don't know what you mean by "does not affect" but it certainly does have AN effect :)    what's the error?
[11:52] <adaptr> TheoMurpse: urm.. I *meant* wpa_supplicant there....
[11:52] <graft> matty: what are you expecting it to produce?
[11:53] <matty> graft: void fact(void ){static int calls=1;float val= ((calls-1)/calls);printf("factor=%3.3f (calls=%d)\n", val, calls );calls++;}
[11:53] <Spee_Der> DARKGuy: ...
[11:53] <graft> matty: if calls is an int, you'll just get a zero
[11:53] <juano> TheoMurpse: well for a start try doing ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.10 up
[11:53] <graft> matty: since that's the correct behavior for ints
[11:53] <TheoMurpse> adaptr: why use ndiswrapper when there are OSS drivers for it already? I used rt2500 driver under Gentoo and it's in synaptic or whatever the package repository is called.
[11:53] <mister_roboto> matty: you mostly likely need to cast the first "calls" to a float if it's currently an int. otherwise you'll get truncation
[11:53] <n2diy> MHobbit: check your boot options at the boot prompt.
[11:53] <graft> matty: if you want to divide two ints as flaots, you have to cast them first
[11:53] <juano> TheoMurpse: sudo ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.10 up
[11:53] <adaptr> matty: ++-1 does not parse to anything useful... use ++call - 1 or (call ++) - 1 instead
[11:53] <wolfwalker> Can anyone help me get online on my Linux computer?
[11:53] <MHobbit> n2diy: Thanks, will do.
[11:54] <vln004> graft -> thanks works great
[11:54] <ikonia_> wolfwalker: whats the problem
[11:54] <gontxo> wenas
[11:54] <Silv3rF0x> I have a question has anyone had problem adding extension=ssh2.so to the php.ini file and allow apache to work correct
[11:54] <matty> graft: Ah, casting was the problem
q tal</u>
[11:54] <mister_roboto> adaptr: why do you say that? of course it will parse
[11:54] <matty> graft: isnt there any flag to warn about casting in such cases ?
[11:54] <wolfwalker> I ran pppoeconf, but it says the Access Concentrator didn't respond
[11:54] <juano> TheoMurpse: lets give it a static ip first and see how we manage from there
[11:54] <morpheus74> I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 and tried the unix2dos command but the command is not found.  Is this utility part of the 6.06 package?
[11:54] <adaptr> mister_roboto: in gcc ?
[11:54] <graft> matty: int => float is cheap float=> int is expensive
[11:54] <TheoMurpse> juano: doing sudo ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.10 up then trying ping 192.168.1.1 (the router) gives me "connect: Network is unreachable"
[11:54] <graft> matty: so it warns for float => int, but not vice-versa
[11:54] <mister_roboto> adaptr: unless the compiler is broken
[11:54] <ikonia_> morpheus74: apt-cache search for it
[11:55] <Enverex> morpheus74, What are you trying to do?
[11:55] <TheoMurpse> adaptr: I have wpa_supplicant from a previous attempt at it. How do I use it?
[11:55] <juano> TheoMurpse: ooh... your on 192.168.1.1... hmm... try sudo ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.10 up
[11:55] <_Sean> whats the name of the file viewer?
[11:55] <_Sean> so i can gksudo
[11:55] <FlyingSquirrel32> How can I set a default domain and username when connecting to smb shares through nautilus?
[11:55] <tonyyarusso> _Sean: You should use sudo with the file viewer
[11:55] <morpheus74> Enverex: I'm using a linux manual and unix2dos is one of the commands discussed in the utility.  At this time, I only want to try the command out.
[11:55] <juano> TheoMurpse: any luck there?
[11:55] <lmosher> I'm trying to configure my WPA2 network with NetworkManager (so I can go from home to work easily). A certificate is downloaded using wpa_supplicant, how do I find this key so I can use it with NetworkManager?
[11:56] <TheoMurpse> juano: now I get PING 192.168.1.1 56*84) etc From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=N Destination Host Unreachable
[11:56] <_Sean> how? (i figured it out anyway)
[11:56] <adaptr> TheoMurpse: hrm... there was somebody in channel yesterday who also had a ralink card.. can';t quite remember what he did (apart from trying a lot and failing most of the time)
[11:56] <tonyyarusso> _Sean: Ack, That should say "shouldn't"!
[11:56] <tonyyarusso> _Sean: Causes permissions funniness
[11:56] <juano> TheoMurpse: mm.. try this:
[11:56] <Enverex> adaptr, I have a RaLink rt61, gave up trying to get it to work
[11:56] <morpheus74> when I want to search using apt-cache, do I just type apt-cache unix2dos?
[11:56] <tonyyarusso> _Sean: what are you trying to do?
[11:56] <adaptr> _Sean: what file viewer ?
[11:57] <TheoMurpse> adaptr: Yeah, it seems like that's all ralink is. However, it was painless with Gentoo once the rt2500 driver was released. I'm surprised it's such a pain in Ubuntu. In any case, I'm getting a Mac Book Pro, and I hope that the wireless support is much better there.
[11:57] <whonicca> is there any program that lets u specify a custom layer break for burning dual layers on linux?
[11:57] <_Sean> hm nvm i didnt get it working
[11:57] <_Sean> the default one?
[11:57] <matty> graft: ok, cheers anyhow
[11:57] <juano> TheoMurpse: route add -net 192.168.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1
[11:57] <TheoMurpse> I figure since it's a popular laptop, many people have gotten it working.
[11:57] <_Sean> nautalis
[11:57] <spindsdsadsad> dasd
[11:57] <Shaba1>  hello anyone here a dual window/linux user that has use partition logic
[11:57] <juano> Shaba1: yes
[11:58] <adaptr> _Sean: there is no default file "viewer" - if you open a text file it opens in gedit
[11:58] <juano> Shaba1: partition magic or gparted
[11:58] <lmosher> Anyone here good with wpa and wpa_supplicant. Or using NetworkManager with wpa2?
[11:58] <mister_roboto> adaptr:  #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char**arv) { int c=1; printf("%d\n", c++-2); return 0; }
[11:58] <Shaba1> juano I have a several questions for you
[11:58] <TheoMurpse> juano: -n -e -t -m -a -s -k are all invalid switches, and --netmask is an unrecognized option as well
[11:58] <mister_roboto> adaptr: compiles just fine in gcc
[11:58] <zYe> how do i install themes
[11:58] <_Sean> i meant like folder viewing
[11:58] <juano> TheoMurpse: sef
[11:58] <tonyyarusso> !themes | zYe
[11:58] <ubotu> zYe: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[11:58] <_Sean> yeah, i got it anyway.
[11:58] <zYe> gg
[11:58] <juano> TheoMurpse: sec.. sorry
[11:58] <mister_roboto> adaptr: and works too, of course :)
[11:58] <_Sean> gksudo nautilus
[11:58] <Shaba1> First you do men Partition Logic NOT Partion Magic correct?
[11:58] <phiqtion> !icons
[11:59] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[11:59] <adaptr> mister_roboto: oh hell, I believe anybody that knows about C - just wondering why he did not get it working then, but we're already past the typecasting stage
[11:59] <TheoMurpse> juano: what does "sec" mean?
[11:59] <juano> TheoMurpse: sorry itS:
[11:59] <TheoMurpse> oh ok
[11:59] <Shaba1> juano??
