[12:01] <Dirka> hi, how do you make a disk partition?
[12:01] <darwinawards> Dirka, mfs
[12:01] <darwinawards> Dirka, mkfs *
[12:01] <Dirka> mkfs?
[12:01] <variant> yellow: how are you starting it?
[12:01] <yellow> i've purged all the packages out
[12:01] <yellow> and reinstalled it
[12:01] <yellow> sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start/restart
[12:01] <variant> Dirka: with gparted is best (non destructive)
[12:02] <DarkSniper> hi
[12:02] <darwinawards> variant, gparted is completely unreliable for resizing
[12:02] <variant> Dirka: mkfs is for making file systems not partitions
[12:02] <Dirka> oh, ok
[12:02] <jatt> yellow: maybe you should try tomcat from the apache site. You need just to unpack it and it works out of the box
[12:02] <Dirka> so wait, where do i go and clicky clicky on
[12:02] <variant> darwinawards: hmm, not really.. I have found it 100% reliable for all the various file systems I have used it on. perhaps you had a buggy version
[12:02] <yellow> :(
[12:02] <gop> what the best video card agp I can get for ubuntu
[12:03] <tacticalcron> gop: How much money do you want to spend?  :-)
[12:03] <variant> Dirka: clicky clicky on system > administration > gparted
[12:03] <gop> 250 max
[12:03] <gop> usd
[12:03] <bamzin> how do i delete a folder by terminal?
[12:03] <Dirka> lol, k
[12:03] <variant> bamzin: rm /path/to/folder
[12:03] <variant> bamzin: rm /path/to/folder -rf
[12:03] <SurfnKid> !xscreensaver
[12:03] <bamzin> rm?ok
[12:03] <tacticalcron> gop: An Nvidia 7300/7600 would do nicely..
[12:03] <ubotu> xscreensaver: Automatic screensaver for X. In component main, is optional. Version 4.24-4ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 272 kB, installed size 2216 kB
[12:03] <Sobek> bamzin: rmdir
[12:04] <variant> bamzin: or rmdir (if the dir is empty)
[12:04] <tacticalcron> gop: Check http://www.newegg.com
[12:04] <gop> tacticalcron,  sweet
[12:04] <bamzin> why not del, instead of rm? it makes more sense :P
[12:04] <jatt> yellow: and is it easier to setup applications using the original apache tomcat tarball... you don't need to put configurations in /var/lib/whatever the debian folks decided to install tomcat in
[12:04] <superkirbyartist> I will try, tacticalcron
[12:04] <tacticalcron> I'm using a 7300 XFX with the 9746 driver without issues..
[12:04] <pbureau> LjL- okay I found my problem it wasnt cifs but smbfs I should of used to mount that network drive... thank you for the patience (goes also to ikonia and others) ..it works !!
[12:04] <variant> Dirka: it might be called partition editor or soemthing.. i'm not using buntu right now
[12:04] <yellow> ok jatt
[12:04] <yellow> i'm downloading it now
[12:05] <variant> Dirka: press alt + f2 and type gksudo gparted
[12:05] <LjL> pbureau: smbfs is deprecated, you should use cifs
[12:05] <LjL> pbureau: if it doesn't work i guess you need to install some package
[12:05] <yellow> so it's core + admin + deployer ?
[12:05] <Dirka> ok
[12:05] <pbureau> but it refuses to mount with cifs.. I switched to smbfs because of the link you gave me :)
[12:05] <LjL> pbureau: probably the "smbfs" package (as backwards as that may seem)
[12:05] <jatt> yellow: good. I do have apache-tomcat-6.0.1 and jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 installed here they work without any issues (I also use jdk from the sun site not the ubuntu packages)
[12:05] <LjL> pbureau: try installing the smbfs package
[12:05] <tacticalcron> dirka: From a shell -  "apt-get search gparted"
[12:06] <pbureau> LjL- dont it come with samba install ? but yes Ill check and try to get it.
[12:06] <yellow> 6.0.1 is the beta right ?
[12:06] <tacticalcron> dirka: Followed by, "apt-get install gparted"
[12:06] <gop> !edgy | gop
[12:06] <ubotu> gop: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[12:06] <electronro> join #xubuntu
[12:06] <yellow> i'll go for 5.0.8 then
[12:06] <yellow> wait, it's 5.5.20
[12:06] <pbureau> LjL- anothert newbie question to make this mount each time it boots I change it in the fstab right ?
[12:06] <LjL> pbureau, you don't need to have "samba" installed at all AFAIK. that's if you want to use your system as a *server*
[12:06] <LjL> pbureau: yes
[12:06] <tacticalcron> gop: PS- http://www.ubuntuguide.org for instructions on installing Nvidia driver.
[12:07] <pbureau> LjL-  oh....ok
[12:07] <jatt> yellow: AFAIK apache-tomcat-6.0.1 is a stable release
[12:07] <darwinawards> can anyone here comment on whether installing fglrx is worth the time and bugs?
[12:07] <jatt> yellow: I do use jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 because is what the company I work with now supports, but of course you could choose a more recient version
[12:08] <yellow> jatt, ok
[12:08] <Dirka> how do you get to shell
[12:09] <JJ_> evening all
[12:09] <tacticalcron> Dirka: Applications/Accessories/Terminal
[12:09] <JJ_> this all looks mad LOL
[12:09] <sparr> my fstab uses UUIDs instead of device names.  how do i find/generate UUIDs for the rest of the things I want to automount?
[12:10] <tacticalcron> Dirka: If the GUI is your thing, System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager
[12:10] <erUSUL> sparr: if you refer to disks 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/'
[12:10] <variant> sparr: if you know the /dev/ entry just use that instead of the UUID
[12:10] <zipper> 23:57 < darwinawards> afaik, the graphical disk mounter was taken out of edgy
[12:11] <variant> zipper: nope..
[12:11] <sparr> variant: the /dev entry could change, which is why i was so intrigued at the UUID option
[12:11] <variant> zipper: it's there
[12:11] <variant> sparr: if it's not a fixed disk then..
[12:11] <sparr> erUSUL: ill try that, thanks
[12:11] <v_> hi, what ubuntu package contains the utilities associated w/ /etc/shadow?
[12:11] <sparr> variant: its fixed-ish  :)
[12:11] <variant> sparr: oki
[12:11] <v_> apt-cache search shadow doesn't give me any clues
[12:11] <sparr> variant: if the installer wasnt limited to 8 volumes then it would have done them all for me.  bug reports about that will be forthcoming...
[12:11] <v_> tacticalcron: that's what i thought
[12:12] <v_> tacticalcron: but that doesn't exist
[12:12] <v_> i was kindof freaked out when i installed ntp and it complained about /etc/shadow not existing
[12:12] <v_> :P
[12:12] <v_> anyone know?
[12:13] <v_> i installed this system using debootstrap edgy
[12:13] <v_> so it's um, minimal
[12:13] <JJ_> hi all, is this the place for silly questions ??????
[12:13] <tuskernini> if it is ubuntu... yes
[12:13] <tacticalcron> Interesting, I don't see the package listed..
[12:13] <JJ_> :-)
[12:13] <shatrat> !ask | JJ_
[12:13] <ubotu> JJ_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:14] <v_> tacticalcron: is there an ubuntu dev channel?
[12:14] <variant> v_: might be provided by the passwd package but would seem straing
[12:14] <variant> strange
[12:14] <v_> variant: that's already installed
[12:14] <JJ_> what do I need to do to be able to RDP into this pc (unbunto) from a windows xp laptop
[12:14] <tuskernini> shatrat, where do i ask how to download livevideo.com movies...? haha
[12:14] <Dirka> tacticalcron: can you make a disk partition from synaptic package manager
[12:14] <variant> !shadow
[12:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shadow - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:14] <shatrat> JJ_: well, if you set up VNC server on ubuntu youll need a VNC client on windows
[12:15] <JJ_> any way of using the RDP thats in windows ?
[12:15] <Dirka> oh shatrat!!!hi! (its derek on another computer)
[12:15] <tacticalcron> Dirka: No, but "Search" for Gparted, and then install it.  :-)
[12:15] <shatrat> Dirka: oh hi
[12:15] <variant> JJ_: if you Must use remote desktop (rdp protocal) there is a package called xrdp
[12:15] <variant> JJ_: otherwise you could use vnc or freenx
[12:15] <Dirka> tacticalorn: search?
[12:15] <JJ_> ok, then is it a case of enter the ip address of this pc and connect as if in windows ?
[12:16] <variant> JJ_: pretty much
[12:16] <shatrat> tuskernini: There is a firefox plugin to capture flash movies like that, I forget what it is called htough.
[12:16] <JJ_> ok brb, going to look for xrdp :-)
[12:16] <electronro> bye
[12:16] <JJ_> thanks
[12:16] <Knag2> exit
[12:16] <variant> JJ_: http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/
[12:16] <JJ_> new to linux and im going to try to build a server in the morning LOL
[12:16] <tuskernini> shatrat, that is just the problem.. i used about 3 already and there are sites one can use aswell... does not work on this one..
[12:16] <JJ_> I must need help :-)
[12:17] <variant> JJ_: you shouldn't need a graphical desktop if its an ubuntu server
[12:17] <shatrat> tuskernini: well, I don't know since I have never even seen that website before.
[12:17] <variant> JJ_: use ssh to administer it instead
[12:17] <yellow> hey jatt , so i just unpacked the tar ball and that's it ?
[12:17] <yellow> !_!
[12:17] <variant> JJ_: putty provides an ssh client for windows
[12:17] <JJ_> well the chap thats wants me to build a data base runs centOS so in going to give that a try
[12:17] <tuskernini> shatrat, yes, lots of people migrate there from youtube...
[12:18] <tuskernini> shatrat, thanks anyway
[12:18] <tacticalcron> Dirka: Do you have Synaptic open?
[12:18] <shatrat> tuskernini: good luck.
[12:18] <variant> JJ_: i see.. remember to disable/remove the xserver once it's up and running.. needless resource hog
[12:18] <JJ_> I just want rdp so I can connect to this from work with out loading anything onto the works pc
[12:18] <variant> JJ_: i see. you dont need to install putty.. it runs as is
[12:18] <variant> JJ_: you can use telnet too..
[12:18] <variant> JJ_: not very secure though
[12:18] <JJ_> ill rdp into my pc but the server will be ssh
[12:19] <JJ_> got about 7 pc's at home. all old and under powered
[12:19] <dromer> how can I save a colourscheme on a kde desktop and reuse it on another computer?
[12:19] <variant> JJ_: so you wont be running an rdp server on the "server" ?
[12:19] <JJ_> nuce to be able to use them :-)
[12:19] <JJ_> no
[12:19] <variant> JJ_: why do you need a unix rdp server then?
[12:19] <JJ_> thats just a means to a end
[12:19] <JJ_> well its somthing new to play with
[12:19] <variant> i see
[12:20] <maccam94> i'm having trouble with beryl/aiglx/nvidia, is this the right channel?
[12:20] <Alarm> hello. i just installed the deb file for cedega . why would i need point2play ? whats app. exactly ?
[12:20] <JJ_> I work on a help desk so dont get much chance to develop stuff at work
[12:20] <maccam94> Alarm, cedega used to be CLI only, and Point2Play was the gui. every cedega release since 5 has a built-in GUI, meaning you don't need point2play
[12:21] <variant> Alarm: ask in #cedega
[12:21] <JJ_> ok off to find xrdp. is it in the undunto add remove programs do you know ?
[12:21] <yellow> lol jatt, i should have done this long ago, saved me bunch of headaches
[12:21] <shatrat> JJ_: I believe it is in synaptic.  YOu may need to enable Universe and Multiverse repositories
[12:22] <JJ_> O god here we go LOL
[12:22] <maccam94> ok, whenever I run beryl it locks up my xserver :-(
[12:22] <shatrat> !universe|JJ_
[12:22] <jatt> yellow: :) I had the same problem before too
[12:22] <ubotu> JJ_: 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
[12:22] <Alarm> well. maccam94  i installed cedega and there is some gui actually. a window opens with options lime mount , install , play and so on. so that means that the cedega i installed has allready the gui and point2play is not needed ?
[12:22] <maccam94> Alarm, yes, you have the latest version so you don't need point2play
[12:22] <Alarm> okie.. thank you
[12:23] <maccam94> Alarm, np
[12:23] <jatt> yellow: tomcat packaging in Debian and Ubuntu is far than good. Another advantage is that is very easy to move tomcat instances or copy them to another machine. With the ubuntu/Debian approach you need to move files that are in /var/lib or /var/share which in turn have symlinks to other directories... a nightmare.

[12:23] <dexemna> Hi, I installed libfontconfig1 from Debian and then reverted it back to the Ubuntu version but now all the fonts are screwed up
[12:23] <yellow> jatt, yes, i realized that while digging through the mess to find my config files
[12:23] <dexemna> Everything appears as boxes
[12:23] <cmweb> Does any one know of a free internet accelerator? My Isp has one but it is for windows.
[12:23] <Alarm> a last question, do u know if i can play preinstalled games ? meaning games that have been "cracked"
[12:24] <yellow> but then i thought it's ubuntu, so there's got to be a reason
[12:24] <jatt> yellow: right, it's a mess
[12:24] <LjL> dexemna: very unsuprising... :(
[12:24] <yellow> but now what i'm thinking is
[12:24] <Alarm> and dont need to be installed but to run the exe only
[12:24] <dexemna> How do I fix it?
[12:24] <yellow> life is good if things are separate like this
[12:24] <yellow> =))
[12:24] <LjL> cmweb: like, a proxy that downloads web links in advance when you're on a page?
[12:24] <cmweb> ljl, i guess but the one that my ISP game me compressed almost all of it
[12:24] <yellow> Thanks a lot man
[12:24] <yellow> never thought of doing that
[12:24] <jatt> yellow: you are welcome
[12:24] <yellow> lol
[12:25] <yellow> maybe the ubuntu way have spoiled me
[12:25] <yellow> =))
[12:25] <LjL> cmweb: uh, compressed? are you sure? then that must be something at the ISP side. i don't see how it could work otherwise
[12:25] <dexemna> LjL: Any idea how to get my fonts working again?
[12:26] <LjL> dexemna: i'm afraid not, i can just tell you to try reconfiguring some packages
[12:26] <LjL> Ubotu, tell dexemna about fonts | dexemna, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:26] <mattswell> i'm trying to install ubuntu, yet my monitor doesn't support the framebuffer or whatever it is... i tried using the text installer, but i get the same issue
[12:26] <jatt> yellow: I decided to don't install java ubuntu/debian packages anymore. The eclipse I use is also the tarball from the eclipse website, etc.
[12:26] <JJ_> ok its going to be a web search for xdp
[12:26] <jatt> yellow: hopefully the situation improves for debian
[12:26] <jatt> yellow: hopefully the situation improves and for ubuntu of course
[12:26] <cmweb> Can WINE allow the kind of utility my ISP supplied? I have contacted them about this but they just say they cant get it for linux
[12:26] <yellow> =) yes i hope so too
[12:27] <LjL> cmweb, maybe, but if it's just a browser plugin, then you'd be forced to use IE or Firefox for Windows
[12:27] <cmweb> Its not a browser plugin at all
[12:27] <yellow> and yes, what you said made me realized, heck it's java, so it's pretty portable
[12:27] <LjL> cmweb: well what kind of thing is it then
[12:27] <shatrat> cmweb: What kind of utility is it by the way? Most of the ones ive seen from ISPs are trash you dont need anywya
[12:28] <LjL> agreed
[12:28] <yellow> as long as my java_home is right, correct jatt  ?
[12:28] <yellow> =)
[12:28] <bamzin> exit
[12:28] <bamzin> ops
[12:28] <jatt> yellow: you are right, JAVA_HOME is the only you need for tomcat
[12:28] <SecrethX> hmm.. how can you check if a shell script is started with or without sudo?
[12:28] <yellow> jatt, do you used jsvc ?
[12:28] <yellow> i saw that on tomcat website
[12:29] <SecrethX> (i mean how to check it with code IN the shell script ;O)
[12:29] <cmweb> The one my ISP gave me is a stand alone application that commpresses all interner activity to like 2 KB
[12:29] <shatrat> cmweb: are you on Dial-up?
[12:29] <jatt> yellow: I wonder if the ubuntu/debian java guys have a rationale why they made the tomcat installation so complicated (and why they decided to put the stuff in /var and not in /opt)
[12:29] <cmweb> shatrat, I am
[12:29] <LjL> ...compresses... internet activity... 2KB
[12:29] <LjL> my brain explodes
[12:29] <shatrat> cmweb: compression of content is handled as part of the dial up specification
[12:29] <yellow> jatt, lol well that's why I said, I thought it's ubuntu, so there's got to be a reason
[12:29] <shatrat> cmweb: I smell garbage
[12:30] <yellow> but oh well
[12:30] <tacticalcron> jatt: I think if you are compiling, you can specify where you want to go: --configure-prefix=/opt
[12:30] <jatt> yellow: no never, AFAIK latest versions of tomcat use jsvc to start
[12:30] <shatrat> cmweb: Do they not allow you to connect without this application?
[12:30] <cmweb> shatrat, it did wonders in windows i could download and go on chat at the same time
[12:30] <cmweb> shatrat, no im connected regular right now
[12:30] <LjL> cmweb: sounds more like a traffic shaper to me
[12:30] <jatt> tacticalcron: I was talking about the installation of the tomcat ubuntu binary packages
[12:31] <cmweb> ljl, do you know of any program that does it? (im doing a synaptic right now)
[12:31] <dromer> can somebody help me set up the db for mythtv?

[12:32] <Turgon> Hello. I would like a program for Ubuntu that lets me, for example download all web pages that follow a certain pattern. For example: www.whatever###.com (being ### a numeric range I can specify). Can someone tell me the name of such an application?
[12:32] <SurfnKid> ikonia: i got it, its gnome screensaver i was just told it doesnt have a 'visual' option to change the GL driver
[12:32] <LjL> !msg the bot > tacticalcron
[12:32] <Slart_> Turgon: wget or curl
[12:33] <axelf> hay guys o/. I have a developer oriented question, basically I want to know how I can download the source for my ubuntu 6.10 install. I only really want to look at the terminal FTP application code really but the whole source _would_ be interesting. Any advice?
[12:33] <SurfnKid> ikonia: if you install xscreensaver it has a settings/advanced section to change the Visual driver
[12:33] <Slart_> Turgon: both are standard, mature apps.. many other downloading apps use these in the background
[12:33] <Turgon> Slart_ : I'll try curl, thx a lot =)
[12:33] <SurfnKid> ikonia: gnome screensaver doesnt, so its probably configured to use the 'default' GL driver which is not the ATI one
[12:34] <shatrat> axelf: you are looking for the source for the terminal "ftp" program?
[12:34] <shatrat> axelf: because the source for everything in a distribution is....large
[12:35] <axelf> shatrat, I'm aware of that. Is there anyway I can get hold of just the terminal FTP applications source?
[12:35] <SurfnKid> ikonia: thanks for the help anyway :)
[12:37] <shatrat> axelf: there might be a -src package available through synaptic, or you might be able to go to the author of the programs website for a source package.  I just looked at the bottom of "man ftp" and didnt see any info on the client's author
[12:38] <axelf> damn
[12:38] <axelf> I bet it was written some 10 years ago :)
[12:38] <Flannel> axelf: every package available in main and universe is also available in source form
[12:38] <shatrat> axelf: I bet it has been patched every week since then though :)
[12:38] <JJ_> re xrdp. founf it, down loded it, now it wants me to compile it
[12:38] <axelf> I bet so
[12:38] <JJ_> may leave it for another day LOL
[12:39] <loopdee> hello, i am looking for some help getting a wireless adaptor working correctly. it is ar5211. seem to be installed and detected. everything is setup correctly, but it is not obtaining an ip address. seems i have wifi0 and ath0. what is the difference of these ?
[12:39] <axelf> cheers shatrat and Flannel; i'll look around :)
[12:40] <Flannel> axelf: you'll need to add the source repository, then apt-src it, OR just go to a website that has packages (packages.ubuntu.com), and download the source deb manually
[12:41] <axelf> yup, just browsing there now, thanks
[12:41] <Goldfisch> wifi0 is a physical device, and ath0 is a logical device. ath0 is the one that will be assigned an IP address. These cards can technically support multiple logical devices.
[12:42] <davey486> How do i make my own virtual machine image? or virtual appliance?
[12:42] <davey486> I downloaded the vmware player, but i want to run XP on it
[12:43] <grndslm_> anybody know how to play bin/cue movies straight from the hd instead of burning them to disc??
[12:43] <tacticalcron> davey486: Get VMWare Server, it's free - http://www.vmware.com/server
[12:43] <Slart> grndslm_: you could always mount them using mount -loop something
[12:43] <davey486> is that what you use to create the vmx files?
[12:44] <grndslm_> Slart:  and then play them with...?
[12:44] <Slart> grndslm_: but you'd have to convert them into a iso-file first.. but that's pretty easy with bchunk
[12:44] <tacticalcron> davey486: Yupper.  :-)
[12:44] <cmweb> ljl, im not sure thats working like i was expecting but it is what i needed though.
[12:44] <Agrajag> davey486: you can create them, and run them
[12:44] <davey486> thank you sir
[12:44] <Slart> grndslm_: well.. whatever software you'd play a normal disk with
[12:44] <Angelus> hi there, anyone know what program to use to create GDM's??? Please?????
[12:44] <Agrajag> also, with VMWare server you can run the VM in the background without having VMWare open
[12:44] <tacticalcron> davey486: De nada..
[12:44] <Slart> grndslm_: I'm guessing vlc, or mplayer.. or.. any of the regular ones
[12:44] <grndslm_> Slart:  so use bchunk, then mount and it'll play in most any video player with the right codecs
[12:44] <grndslm_> ??
[12:44] <joet> Hey
[12:45] <erUSUL> Slart: only isos and fs image files can be mounted with -loop
[12:45] <Slart> grndslm_: I suppose so.. haven't tried it with movie-disks myself.. but I have tried it with games
[12:45] <Slart> erUSUL: yes.. that's why he has to use bchunk first
[12:45] <Alarm> my dvd and cdrom are mounted in fstab with /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0 . but since this morning, although i open the mounted directory i dont see anything in it, nor on the dvd or cd rom no matter what cd i use .
[12:45] <Slart> erUSUL: to convert it to an ISO
[12:45] <linuxnewbie756> i have windows and ubuntu on one hard drive, i also have a 200 gb data disk formatted as ext3. i installed some crap in windows, and now windows can read/write to that disk. i use the disk for music, and so on. i use itunes to add the music to the drive. i was wondering, is it safe to defrag the drive? is it necessary? is it even possible?
[12:46] <joet> I have ubuntu 6.06, and im wondering if it'd be easier to use WINE or whatever to install XAMPP, or try and setup my own server on linux.
[12:46] <Cryoniq> !ISO
[12:46] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[12:46] <erUSUL> !lamp | joet
[12:46] <ubotu> joet: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:46] <Use> is "WINE" getting any better yet??
[12:47] <SecrethX> im off, cya
[12:47] <Manna> joet: I'm new to Linux, but install it yourself. XAMMP lacks so many features and custom options.
[12:47] <tacticalcron> linuxnewbie756: No need to do so.
[12:47] <riotkittie> if you want WINE to improve, contribute :P
[12:47] <ttw> linuxnewbie756: you saying that you've a 200gb ext3 partition mounted in windows ?  how'd you manage that ?
[12:47] <Slart> Use: it's getting better.. I'm not sure if it's good yet though =)
[12:47] <tacticalcron> linuxnewbie756: EXT3 manages files better, it rarely gets fragmented.
[12:47] <joet> But I have Edgy, so im not sure where to go.
[12:47] <Angelus> hi there, anyone know what program to use to create GDM's??? Please?????
[12:47] <tacticalcron> Probably Services For Unix.
[12:48] <ccvp>          
[12:48] <thug> how do i install a key.gpg ?
[12:48] <ccvp> ?????
[12:48] <Slart> Angelus: just out of curiosity.. what is a gdm?
[12:48] <joet> Actually, im def major n00b when it comes to linux/ubuntu
[12:48] <ccvp> inztall quad xeon plz
[12:48] <ccvp>          
[12:48] <ttw> tacticalcron: to mount an ext3 partition .... no
[12:48] <Angelus> gnome desktop manager
[12:48] <grndslm_> Slart:  gnome display manager actually
[12:48] <tacticalcron> wow
[12:49] <Slart> Angelus: you want to create a gdm? not compile? change?.. but create?
[12:49] <joet> So would https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP work on edgy 6.06?
[12:49] <tacticalcron> First time I've seen Arabic in IRC.
[12:49] <Xenguy> ccvp: it's an english channel AFAIK
[12:49] <ccvp> tacticalcron:     
[12:49] <ccvp> ????
[12:49] <guest12620071846> hello, how to run a .sh thing... i am trying to install actioncube
[12:49] <Xenguy> ccvp: bye
[12:49] <riotkittie> !ar
[12:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ar - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:49] <grndslm_> sudo sh *.sh
[12:50] <Angelus> yes please Slart, I know it uses XML but I would like a program that views the XML so I can edit it without having to know the coordinates :)
[12:50] <davey486> what is the difference between .tar.gz and rpm? Which one should i choose?
[12:50] <Cryoniq> That kinda makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy graal :)
[12:50] <joet> anyone? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP will this work for Edgy 6.06??
[12:50] <guest12620071846> thanks
[12:50] <ccvp> [17:50:04]  <davey486> what is the difference between .tar.gz and rpm? Which one should i choose?
[12:50] <ccvp> wtf?
[12:50] <tacticalcron> Sorry, no type/speak Arabic..  :-\
[12:50] <ccvp> lol
[12:50] <erUSUL> davey486: none, if posible use apt or synaptic
[12:50] <ccvp> thats like asking what should i use: rar or zip
[12:50] <Manna> Hey guys, is there possibly any downsides to dual booting windows and ubuntu linux?
[12:50] <ccvp> :)
[12:50] <Slart> Angelus: ah.. you want to change Gnome .. *phew*.. well.. I have no idea.. sorry
[12:50] <davey486> i can't find vmware server there
[12:50] <ccvp> davey486
[12:51] <ccvp> if you want to use a real mans OS
[12:51] <ccvp> use NetBSD
[12:51] <ccvp> :)
[12:51] <LjL> !sa | ccvp
[12:51] <ubotu> ccvp: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join     #ubuntu-sa
[12:51] <pbureau> alright, I need help with something simple, I use Gnome, I would like a mount icon so that I can mount a network drive when I need or not.. (the box i s not always on...that is the reason why its not in fstab) whats the easiest way to get a command line such as 'udo mount -t smbfs -o username=guest //storage-1d4d/PUBLIC/music /media/nwdrive' to be an icon I can just cleick
[12:51] <ttw> manna: yeah, you may end up using windows sometimes
[12:51] <Cryoniq> Manna none that I can think of more than wasting valuable diskspace on a crapp OS install
[12:51] <Manna> lol
[12:51] <Slart> davey486: I might be wrong.. but a tar.gz is just a compressed file... rpm is an installation package.. like the deb's ubuntu uses
[12:51] <Cryoniq> =)
[12:51] <Manna> Thanks =)
[12:51] <ccvp> no one in #ubuntu-sa
[12:51] <Angelus> Does anyone know a program that lets you view XML?
[12:51] <lupine_85> kate ?
[12:51] <davey486> ahh, thanks
[12:51] <Hit3k> gedit?
[12:51] <Manna> Well, I actually like Windows. Their is room for a lot of improvement though, but I like it.
[12:51] <LjL> ccvp: i know :\
[12:52] <ttw> angelus: .... any text editor ? ?
[12:52] <joet> anyone?
[12:52] <Xenguy> davey486: it's the difference between installing from source (tgz) and a package (rpm = redhat package manager)
[12:52] <erUSUL> Angelus: mlview
[12:52] <erUSUL> ??
[12:52] <ccvp> ljl, actually i only speak english
[12:52] <ccvp> that was a paste from a random website
[12:52] <ccvp> my investigation proved true
[12:52] <tacticalcron> Angelus: Nvu
[12:52] <Angelus> a graphical display of the XML :)
[12:52] <ccvp> that most people chastize foreign speakers on irc
[12:52] <Cryoniq> Only reason I like it.. ehr forced to like it is bacause of games.. =/
[12:52] <ccvp> its a form of racism :)
[12:52] <Slart> davey486: if it's a program you've downloaded you'll have to compile it if you get the tar.gz file.. the deb should install if you're using a system that uses rpm (ie Fedora and some others). I think ubuntu can use an rpm too
[12:52] <thug> how do i install a key.gpg ?
[12:52] <pbureau> Angelus-  any text editor but if you are looking to edit it as well you could try bluefish
[12:52] <Slart> !alien
[12:52] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:52] <alakad> hi can some body help me?
[12:52] <grndslm_> Slart:  now I have 2 isos and the largest one isn't working with the mount command
[12:52] <Xenguy> daveyates: what software are you trying to install?
[12:52] <Cryoniq> Should be a universal law that say that all games must be cross platform in future.. >)
[12:53] <alakad> hellllp please
[12:53] <LjL> ccvp: not really. my native language is not english either. it's just you can't really mix languages on a 1000 people channel
[12:53] <ccvp> i bet alakad is a real foreigner
[12:53] <ccvp> though
[12:53] <Slart> grndslm_: isn't working? any errors?
[12:53] <linux_kid> I was trying to clean up my wine files and thought, "Why not use CCleaner" (CCleaner is a windows program that rids your system of unnessary files).  After anylizing, it found 600-some MB to be deleted.  After it started, it exited out.  I tryed agian and the same.  Is this a protection layer in wine?  If so, can it be disabled?
[12:53] <ccvp> I can tell by multiple ll's
[12:53] <ccvp> ended with please
[12:53] <ccvp> :)
[12:53] <joet> Anyone help with setting up LAMP on 6.06 edgy??
[12:53] <Xenguy> alakad: ask your question
[12:53] <alakad> XD i am from spain
[12:53] <Slart> grndslm_: there are some options to bchunk.. like I said.. I've never tried it on movies..
[12:53] <grndslm_> Slart:  mount -tiso9660 -o loop condorman.iso02.iso movie/
[12:53] <grndslm_> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0
[12:53] <grndslm_> oops, i see it now
[12:53] <guest12620071846> so i run "actioncube.sh" and i get this error: ".//bin_unix/linux_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such directory"
[12:54] <alakad> my question is, i want to set up a php web portal something similar to phpnuke
[12:54] <ccvp> alakad
[12:54] <ccvp> communityserver is good
[12:54] <ccvp> but its only for asp/2k3 i think
[12:54] <alakad> but the thing is that i want to share the users from the ubuntu server whith the portal
[12:54] <alakad> can i do that?
[12:54] <daveyates> Xenguy: what makes u thinki am trying to install software?
[12:54] <grndslm_> Slart:  nevermind, the space after the -t switch still gives that same "wrong fs type" error
[12:54] <riotkittie> its not a form of racism. its about making it easy for people to follow whats going on.
[12:54] <ttw> "share the users" what does that mean ?
[12:55] <alakad> ccvp, what do you think?
[12:55] <dxdt> joet, there are tons of tutorials on that so unless you have a specific question I'm not sure how much we can help.  A google for LAMP Edgy actually brings up guides with pictures in them and everything.
[12:55] <Cryoniq> I think he mean that added users under ubuntu should be connected to login to the portal
[12:55] <LjL> daveyates: i think he was possibly trying to address davey486, who quit
[12:55] <joet> Yes, I asked if that guide would be the same on 6.06
[12:55] <Slart> grndslm_:  is it a DVD ? or a CD?
[12:55] <tacticalcron> alakad: http://www.howtoforge.com
[12:55] <joet> cause it says in ubuntu 5.10
[12:55] <norf-ubu> !lamp
[12:55] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[12:55] <joet> See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:55] <daveyates> Xenguy: np
[12:55] <guest12620071846> so i run "actioncube.sh" and i get this error: ".//bin_unix/linux_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such directory"  what should i do?
[12:55] <Slart> grndslm_: also.. try it using sudo
[12:55] <tacticalcron> alakad: Good directions there to setup LAMP server.
[12:55] <Cryoniq> So if user donald duck is added in ubuntu that user also login to the portal with same user and login right?
[12:56] <Otter> Is there a way of creating "virtual ethernet" interfaces? Not just a alias, since alias appear as part of the orginal interface in netstat
[12:56] <alakad> tacticalcron, so you think its posible to share the users?
[12:56] <goodgerster> good evening, life forms
[12:56] <grndslm_> Slart:  already root
[12:56] <Cryoniq> I really wouldnt recomend doing that...
[12:56] <thug> how do i install a key.gpg ? no one knows ?
[12:56] <thug> hehe
[12:56] <norf-ubu> goodgerster: good evening superior being :p
[12:57] <LjL> thug, apt-key add key.gpg, if it's for an APT repository
[12:57] <goodgerster> does anyone know why the feisty 2 alternate disc doesn't go beyond hardware detection? this happens both in our dear friend Qemu and in real life
[12:57] <Slart> grndslm_: hold on.. I'll see if I have any movies to try it with
[12:57] <ttw> thug: gpg --import key.gpg
[12:57] <Slart> grndslm_: is it a full DVD? or some compressed thing?
[12:57] <LjL> Ubotu, tell goodgerster about feisty | goodgerster, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:57] <Cryoniq> !IRC
[12:57] <ubotu> irc is Internet Relay Chat - Ubuntu IRC clients: xchat (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/XChatHowto), gaim (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Konversation (http://konversation.berlios.de/docs/) - Also see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat and !guidelines
[12:57] <grndslm_> Slart:  dvd rip that was compressed to svcd
[12:58] <grndslm_> or vcd rather
[12:58] <erUSUL> thug: gpg --import-key
[12:58] <thug> thanks all
[12:58] <goodgerster> LjL: that's as useful as a cheese pestle and mortar
[12:58] <Agrajag> grndslm_: what format is it in now?
[12:58] <ubuntu|noob> see im using bitchX :P
[12:59] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  vcd, bin/cue
[12:59] <Agrajag> And you just want to play it?
[12:59] <ardchoille42> goodgerster, Good one :)
[12:59] <goodgerster> I'm fully aware that feisty is alpha, but the herd releases are generally functional
[12:59] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  would rather not burn it since i don't have any 800mb discs...yes, i'd like to play it from the hd
[12:59] <goodgerster> ardchoille42: thank you
[12:59] <Agrajag> Silly question: Did you try playing the .bin or .cue in VLC?
[12:59] <riotkittie> mm, cheese.
[12:59] <LjL> goodgerster: except it DOES tell you that the channel for feisty is #ubuntu+1 and not this
[12:59] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  actually, i did, but i couldn't get it to work
[01:00] <Agrajag> oh that's weird
[01:00] <grndslm_> what's the proper way for opening bin/cue in vlc??
[01:00] <joet> How to install packages from konsole?
[01:00] <goodgerster> anyone not being served?
[01:00] <Agrajag> oh also
[01:00] <goodgerster> yay, it works again
[01:00] <ardchoille42> !install
[01:00] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[01:00] <Agrajag> you don't need an 800MB disc
[01:00] <faustino> does anyone have tried to install ubuntu 6.10 in a raid 5 mylaex aceleraid 160?
[01:00] <shifty> good morning everyone
[01:00] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  whu?
[01:01] <Agrajag> you burn that to a 700 Mb disc, it fits by removing a lot of the error-protetion bits
[01:01] <Slart> grndslm_: hmm.. seems I don't have any bin/cue movies.. they are all avi's...
[01:01] <riotkittie> ugh. i wish i could manage to suspend my laptop from fluxbox :\
[01:01] <ardchoille42> joet, sudo dpkg -i packagename  , but are you sure the app isn't in the repos?
[01:01] <joet> well it is, but i just wanted to know for future reference, i plan on installing through manager.
[01:01] <Agrajag> grndslm_: it's calling a mode-2 CD
[01:02] <faustino> where can i get help in installing to a raid5 mylex array
[01:02] <ardchoille42> joet, YEah, always a good idea to use the pm when possible.
[01:02] <goodgerster> faustino: use the alternate cd and follow instructions when you get the big "raid" button
[01:02] <faustino> may i pm you goodgerster?
[01:03] <grndslm_> Agrajag: the iso is working now from vlc!
[01:03] <shifty> does ubuntu support realvnc ?
[01:03] <goodgerster> faustino: you can, although I can't pm you back
[01:03] <Agrajag> grndslm_: oh, but not the .bin/.cue? Odd
[01:03] <agnostic> launching wolfenstein produce message- "Failed to load module libgail.so"
[01:03] <grndslm_> i'll check out the mode-2 cd thing later, i dunno if the iso is working 100% perfectly
[01:03] <Agrajag> Anyway good to see it works.
[01:03] <grndslm_> yes yes
[01:03] <goodgerster> shifty: yes, there's a server built in and a client accessible via xvnc afaik
[01:03] <grndslm_> thanks Agrajag!
[01:03] <ardchoille42> goodgerster, he isn't id'd either so it may work
[01:04] <richard> dosbox question: does anyone know where the dosbox.conf file is? :P
[01:04] <shifty> goodgerster, i mean i have a windows server system, and it has realvnc installed is there any viewer i can use on ubuntu to access?
[01:04] <shifty> i think ubuntu is pretty
[01:04] <riotkittie> richard: sudo updatedb && locate dosbox.conf
[01:04] <ardchoille42> riotkittie, You beat me to it
[01:05] <riotkittie> ardchoille42: bwahahaha.
[01:05] <shatrat> shifty: you can launch vncviewer from console
[01:05] <ardchoille42> lol
[01:05] <goodgerster> shifty: vncviewer
[01:05] <gizmo_the_great1> Hi. I have just tried to do a backup using tar of my files stored at a mount point called 'ext3' to my external Firewire HDD using this command : 'tar -cfvzW Mounts/ext3 /media/LACIE/Ext3Backup07_01_26.tar'. After about half an hour I got warnings that root (/) was 95% full and running out of space? What have I done wrong? I cannot find the file it is supposed to have created?
[01:05] <richard> riotkittie, thanks
[01:05] <agnostic>  Failed to load module "libatk-bridge.so"
[01:05] <riotkittie> richard: my pleasure. sorry i couldnt just give you a /concrete/location :P
[01:05] <misha> Hi, I am having trouble with my display, window frames appear without anything inside them; buttons and text fields will apear on mouseover; closed windows and menus persist.  xorg.conf seems to know what videocard I'm using.  The login screen appears fine, and if I enable a screensaver it works fine, so perhaps the problem is gnome?
[01:06] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  so i could burn the bin/cue to a 700mb disc and it'd work??
[01:06] <shifty> hahaha, shatrat did it again :)
[01:06] <Slart> shifty: realvnc is available for linux I think.. I'm using ultravnc on a windows machine and I couldn't find a client for that.. but running the windows executable for ultravnc using wine worked nicely
[01:06] <erUSUL> gizmo_the_great1: it should have been tar -cfvzW /media/LACIE/Ext3Backup07_01_26.tar Mounts/ext3
[01:06] <Agrajag> grndslm_: yeah, you'd have to be sure the software you use supports that
[01:06] <grndslm_> like k3b?
[01:06] <Agrajag> grndslm_: you may have to use cdrecord from the command line to make sure it does it right
[01:07] <Agrajag> I don't know, I don't use KDE, it might work
[01:07] <gizmo_the_great1> erUSUL: so I got it the wrong way round?
[01:07] <Agrajag> if it supports bin/cue just try to burn it
[01:07] <ardchoille42> erUSUL, gizmo_the_great1 shouldn't that be /media/LACIE/Ext3Backup07_01_26.tar.gz  with .gz on the end?
[01:07] <faustino> goodgerster: why can't i install from the live dvd
[01:07] <Agrajag> the cue should tell it it's a mode2
[01:07] <JJ_> hi, could I ask for a little help with xrdp please ????
[01:08] <ardchoille42> JJ_, Ask away, if someone knows, they'll answer
[01:08] <TTT_Travis> Hi using Radeon 7500 connected with DVI to HDMI to a Sharp Aquous LCD TV, only resolutions that work are 640x480 and 1920x540, if I try anything larger then 640x480 it just sets to 1920x540
[01:08] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  do you use any graphical burner??  gnomebaker?
[01:08] <TTT_Travis> tried everything the fix resolution entry
[01:08] <goodgerster> faustino: because the live dvd is designed to patronise morons who can't handle functionality, and hence does not include RAID
[01:08] <Megatog615> Hi
[01:08] <gizmo_the_great1> ardchoille42: maybe? But file extensions do not matter with Linux though. So I thought seeing as I was using the z switch it was compressed anyway
[01:08] <JJ_> ok well I have down loaded it and extracted it to temp
[01:08] <tacticalcron> I think that would be tar -cfjvW /media/LACIE/Ext3Backup07_01_26.tar Mounts/ext3
[01:08] <kitche> ardchoille42: erUSUL gizmo_the_great1 you can just use tar -xvf now for anything .tar
[01:08] <Megatog615> Where can I find an Ubuntu Edgy DVD .jogdo?
[01:08] <erUSUL> gizmo_the_great1: yes basically you created a file colled Mounts/ext3 that is eating your space...
[01:08] <Agrajag> grndslm_: I just use Nautilus when I need to burn something
[01:08] <Megatog615> *jigdo
[01:08] <kitche> at least to extract it
[01:08] <shatrat> TTT_Travis: what resolution is the TV?
[01:08] <ardchoille42> gizmo_the_great1, Ah, ok
[01:09] <JJ_> its telling me to goto the dir and "Run Make" but typing this and nothing happens
[01:09] <faustino> goodgerster: ok i tought that with the dvd size they could get it for all
[01:09] <sedrake> Is it possible to change a programs window title in gnome?
[01:09] <goodgerster> faustino: no, it just increases the default installation from 1000 to 6000 packages..
[01:09] <JJ_> apart from command not found
[01:09] <Megatog615> Where can I find an Ubuntu Edgy DVD .jigdo file?
[01:09] <kitche> JJ_: it's Make
[01:09] <goodgerster> sedrake: only by modifying it and recompiling
[01:09] <kitche> JJ_: or jsut plain make not captial
[01:09] <grndslm_> Agrajag:  too weird
[01:09] <linuxnewbie756> ttw, i installed a program in windows, took less than a minute, works perfect. want the name of the program?
[01:10] <JJ_> nope same again
[01:10] <faustino> goodgerster: i'm going to get the alternate imediately thank you
[01:10] <grndslm_> well, thanks for your help...hopefully this movie will burn to disc!
[01:10] <goodgerster> faustino: that's fine, glad to help
[01:10] <JJ_> make   command not found
[01:10] <ardchoille42> JJ_, Have you install build-essential ?
[01:10] <sedrake> goodgerster: can't be done with something such as devils pie or so? I looked at just devils pie but didnt find that function
[01:10] <Megatog615> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:10] <gizmo_the_great1> Having examined my disk drives, they appear to have the same amount of space left on them as before. I assume Linux has cancelled the operation and deleted any tmp files that were taking up the space?
[01:10] <JJ_> nope, sorry to ask but whats is it ?
[01:10] <ardchoille42> JJ_, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:10] <Megatog615> It installs make for you
[01:10] <Megatog615> Where can I find an Ubuntu Edgy DVD .jigdo file?
[01:10] <grndslm_> anybody here use the beryl svn???
[01:10] <ardchoille42> JJ_, It is a meta package of the normal things you need to compile an app
[01:11] <Megatog615> I do
[01:11] <goodgerster> sedrake: I don't know of anything aside from recompilation, I'm afraid
[01:11] <miranda82> hello everyone
[01:11] <shatrat> grndslm_: I do, but you migth want to ask any questions in #ubuntu-xgl
[01:11] <sedrake> goodgerster: okok ty
[01:11] <Flannel> grndslm_: #ubuntu-xgl for beryl questions, thanks.
[01:11] <grndslm_> k, awesome
[01:11] <gizmo_the_great1> kitche: what do you mean by 'you can just use tar -xvf now for anything .tar'? Do you mean that is the only switches I need to use?
[01:11] <Flannel> Megatog615: I don't believe Edgy has a DVD release, actually.
[01:11] <JJ_> i need a good linux book LOL
[01:11] <goodgerster> JJ_: there's the ubuntu book
[01:11] <Megatog615> Flannel: I have downloaded the DVD release before
[01:12] <goodgerster> Flannel: it does
[01:12] <Megatog615> I deleted the iso on accident
[01:12] <ardchoille42> uoch
[01:12] <Megatog615> Downloading manually takes forever
[01:12] <goodgerster> !google | Megatog615
[01:12] <ubotu> Megatog615: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com  -  Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux
[01:12] <Megatog615> I'd like to re-use my burned DVD
[01:12] <JJ_> ok where can I get the unbunto book?
[01:13] <Flannel> JJ_: bookstores?
[01:13] <goodgerster> JJ_: a shop is a good place to start
[01:13] <ardchoille42> JJ_, There are a few on amazon.com
[01:13] <shatrat> JJ_: Im sure amazon has it, or Barnes and Noble I hear.  I havent ever found anything I needed to know that wasnt on the internet.
[01:13] <zeer88> hi!
[01:13] <miranda82> i got my atheros working under 386 kernel, but not under 686, do i need to recompile the module? or is there any way to use the old ones?
[01:13] <zeer88> hmmm, one doubt...
[01:13] <JJ_> lol, ok its gone midnight here
[01:13] <JJ_> give a old man a chance :-)
[01:13] <shatrat> miranda82: nope, you need to redo that part of the process while using 686
[01:13] <kitche> JJ_: you can look at system76 also they have ubuntu books
[01:13] <brainly-green> what's the shell script command to pause for some amount of time, then resume execution?
[01:14] <miranda82> shatrat, thx
[01:14] <shatrat> brainly-green: sleep
[01:14] <kitche> gizmo_the_great1: for extracting a tar.gz or .tar.bz2 yes
[01:14] <brainly-green> thanks
[01:14] <Megatog615> So I guess there's no .jigdo file?
[01:14] <zeer88> any file i leave downloading on a torrent application, stops, and doesn't resume...the internet is still on, but at the next morning it is just stopped...and didn't download even half of what i wanted to..

[01:14] <zeer88> why does it stop
[01:14] <gizmo_the_great1> kitche: aaah - you mean when 'restoring' or accessing the created tar?

[01:14] <Megatog615> I need Edgy
[01:14] <Flannel> Megatog615: that is edgy
[01:14] <Megatog615> No
[01:14] <Megatog615> That's Feisty
[01:15] <Megatog615> 7.04
[01:15] <Megatog615> "Current"
[01:15] <miranda82> how was the command to check the ubuntu version?
[01:15] <Flannel> Megatog615: read the first half of the listing
[01:15] <LjL> miranda82: lsb_release -a
[01:15] <ardchoille42> JJ_, Here are a few sites you may want to bookmark: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/  http://ubuntuforums.org/  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation
[01:15] <kitche> gizmo_the_great1: yes extracting it, used you had to do -xvfz for .tar.gz file and -xvjf for .tar.bz2
[01:15] <gizmo_the_great1> how can I list files in the order of size using command line??
[01:15] <miranda82> LjL, thx
[01:15] <Lard-O-Lad> The edgy eft live cd keeps hanging when i try to run it on my computer.  How can i resolve this?
[01:15] <Megatog615> I'll try it
[01:15] <gizmo_the_great1> kitche: thanks for that
[01:15] <Flannel> Megatog615: no no, scroll down to the listing of the files, there's edgy and feisty
[01:15] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: ls -st or ls -str
[01:15] <Megatog615> Why is edgy listed there?
[01:15] <Megatog615> That's weird
[01:15] <goodgerster> Lard-O-Lad: giving the error is useful to us
[01:16] <IntuitiveNipple> oops, sorry, I gave you the "time" sort :)
[01:16] <goodgerster> Megatog615: feisty is not current..
[01:16] <Lard-O-Lad> goodgerster: It literally just hangs, the progress bars stops moving and stops reading from the CD, when I hit the power, it wakes up again going through the shutdown procedure properly
[01:16] <Megatog615> How is a daily build not current?
[01:16] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: ls -S for size
[01:16] <JJ_> ok now it wont let me change to root and build the dir
[01:17] <JJ_> su then the password
[01:17] <joet> How do i change php.ini from read only to write?
[01:17] <kitche> Megatog615: they probably mean not stable
[01:17] <goodgerster> Lard-O-Lad: it's not hanging then... I suggest use of the alternate cd
[01:17] <Falstius> I'm trying to get xawtv to display remotely, but it doesn't work with ssh x11 forwarding and export DISPLAY reporting it can't open the display.  I tried xhost +remote_host.  Is there anything else that needs to be done?
[01:17] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: thanks but it not working as required. I need it to search through all of root and listed the biggest files at the top?
[01:17] <Megatog615> Then they'd put "unstable"...
[01:17] <goodgerster> Megatog615: the current release is edgy
[01:17] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: you want a wide list? ls -lS ?
[01:17] <goodgerster> the next release is feisty
[01:17] <Flannel> JJ_: ubuntu doesn't use the root user, it uses sudo instead
[01:18] <Lard-O-Lad> goodgerster: sigh I was hoping I wasnt going to have to resort to that!  The Dapper CD works fine...
[01:18] <joet> Anyone? How to change read-only attribute
[01:18] <goodgerster> the last release is dapper
[01:18] <goodgerster> there, we've gone through all three tenses
[01:18] <Megatog615> ...
[01:18] <Megatog615> Then why is there Feisty on the Current page
[01:18] <ardchoille42> JJ_, try: make  and then  sudo make install
[01:18] <Flannel> joet: open your editor with sudo, or if its graphical, gksudo or kdesu, gksudo gedit /file/stuff
[01:18] <Lard-O-Lad> joet
[01:18] <tacticalcron> You can force the root user on however..
[01:18] <Lard-O-Lad> joet: google chmod
[01:18] <tacticalcron> sudo passwd root
[01:18] <Spee_Der> Good evening folks.
[01:18] <goodgerster> Lard-O-Lad: I can only suggest you remove "quiet" from your boot parameters and then see what is says
[01:18] <ardchoille42> tacticalcron, That isn't supported configuration
[01:19] <Megatog615> sudo bash
[01:19] <Megatog615> Same thing as root
[01:19] <zeer88> i really need help =\
[01:19] <Lard-O-Lad> !ask
[01:19] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:19] <goodgerster> or sudo -i, indeed
[01:19] <zeer88> any file i leave downloading on a torrent application, stops, and doesn't resume...the internet is still on, but at the next morning it is just stopped...and didn't download even half of what i wanted to..
[01:19] <Flannel> Megatog615: bad idea.  sudo -i
[01:19] <zeer88> i asked it and nobody answered...
[01:19] <Flannel> Megatog615: and, it's not the same, because as of Edgy, ubuntu uses dash, not bash
[01:19] <Sorinello> hello. I've instaled ubuntu, enabled repositories, and installed Apache2. Someone who acceses me.. can't see nothing. everything is default. can soneome explain this to me ?
[01:20] <ardchoille42> tacticalcron, lol
[01:20] <Flannel> Sorinello: did you forward ports on your router?
[01:20] <Sorinello> Flannel: yes
[01:20] <Falstius> zeer88: turning off dmz on your router might help.
[01:20] <Flannel> Sorinello: and apache is running?
[01:20] <Sorinello> they see the site.. they don't get 404
[01:20] <Sorinello> yes
[01:20] <joet> Okay, i opened up konsole, su, then my pass n return/enter.
[01:21] <Sorinello> it's shown like it's loading... and loading ...
[01:21] <Sorinello> no text, no picture, no nothing
[01:21] <Flannel> Sorinello: er, if they don't get a 404, then they are getting stuff
[01:21] <joet> typed CHMOD 644 php.ini
[01:21] <Flannel> !sudo | joet
[01:21] <ubotu> joet: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:21] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: yes. that has worked I think but I am confused. It has listed '12748 -rw-r--r--   1 ted  ted  13032175 2006-06-03 17:37 temp' at the top which I think is a temp file that has eaten all my disk space. But when I look using Nautilus (even with 'Show hidden files') it is not there? Is it a directory or a file or what?
[01:21] <goodgerster> Flannel: there are tens of other HTTP errors, remember
[01:21] <Flannel> joet: don't chmod php.ini, use sudo to open an editor.  chmod can mess things up.
[01:21] <Sorinello> but nothing is shown .. adn my page hs text, and small pics. i can paste you the link
[01:21] <zeer88> Falstius, what is dmz?
[01:21] <zeer88> and how can i turn it off?
[01:21] <Tweak> hello?
[01:21] <zeer88> and why doesn't it happen on windows?...it's the same router =\
[01:22] <Flannel> goodgerster: none would be caused by a bad route.
[01:22] <Tweak> someone here that can help me with something?
[01:22] <Flannel> Sorinello: what do you have in your site at the moment?
[01:22] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: It looks like its a normal file, 13MB in size
[01:22] <Tweak> i got some ATI driver problems it wont start Xorg
[01:22] <kitche> Sorinello: it could be due to that your ISP also blocks port 80 some do almost all
[01:22] <Sorinello> a small Bluetooth tutorial ...
[01:22] <JJ_> ok not sure that went as it should LOL
[01:22] <Flannel> s
[01:22] <Flannel> Sorinello: so, html?  not php or anything dynamic?
[01:22] <JJ_> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:23] <JJ_> sorry forget the last bit
[01:23] <Sorinello> 3 days ago worked, and suddenly, stopped. i don't think it's my ISP, but i'm starting having suspicions about the router
[01:23] <joet> Flannel: How do i open in sudo
[01:23] <Flannel> joet: What editor do you want to use? gedit?
[01:23] <Tweak> are there people here that can help me ?
[01:23] <joet> ? :d
[01:23] <Sorinello> Flannel: static ip, 80 roueted towards linux, apache started and listening
[01:23] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: but my 60Gb partition has only got 0.3Mb of space left on it froma bad tar excercise that took up all the free space. I am trying to find the file that has taken up all the room?
[01:23] <Flannel> joet: youre using gnome? or just a console?
[01:23] <kitche> Tweak: hard to help you if you don't say what's wrong
[01:23] <Sorinello> and from localhost my site works fine
[01:23] <JJ_> install: cannot stat `libxrdp.so': No such file or directory
[01:24] <Tweak> kitche: i cant get ATI to work fine
[01:24] <Tweak> my Xorg wont boot
[01:24] <Flannel> Sorinello: do you get their view in your apache log?
[01:24] <joet> I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 i dont know if its gnome or not
[01:24] <Sorinello> yes
[01:24] <goodgerster> JJ_: sudo apt-get install apt-file then use apt-file to find libxrdp.so
[01:24] <Sorinello> i see their ip's.. and files they access
[01:24] <Tweak> kitche: i need to get this working "fglrx"
[01:24] <Sorinello> but they see like the page is loading .. forever ....
[01:24] <ardchoille42> joet, Probably gnome. do you have panels at the top and the bottom?
[01:25] <joet> yes.
[01:25] <ardchoille42> That's gnome
[01:25] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: Use du with some options - do "man du" for detaisl
[01:25] <Sorinello> Flannel: and it's purea clean ubuntu 6.10 no other app, no nothing
[01:25] <joet> Okay.
[01:25] <Tweak> i think this is the error kitche
[01:25] <Sorinello> now i'm installing updates
[01:25] <joet> okay so how do i open sudo?
[01:25] <Tweak> (EE) module ABI major version (1) doesn't match the server's version (0)
[01:25] <Flannel> joet: that's gnome.  alt-f2 for a run dialog, then gksudo gedit /etc/php5/php.ini (or whtaever the path to php.ini is)
[01:25] <JJ_> E: Couldn't find package apt-file
[01:25] <shifty> hey one small question how do i get to make the connection status icon appear ?
[01:25] <ardchoille42> !apt-file
[01:25] <ubotu> apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update"
[01:25] <ardchoille42> !info apt-file

[01:26] <Falstius> zeer88: if it works in windows, it is probably a different problem.  dmz is when you set one computer to be "outside" the router's firewall (default to forwarding all ports to that computer)

[01:31] <goodgerster> shifty: sudo network-manager

[01:32] <torrr> is there any free tool for resizing NTFS partition?
[01:32] <Marupa> Hypothetical question time!
[01:32] <jrib> pbureau: you would use "gksudo" instead of "sudo".  That way it pops up asking you for a password
[01:32] <Tweak> ehm
[01:32] <Tweak> when i do this
[01:32] <Tweak> sudo aticonfig --initial
[01:32] <pbureau> jrib-  Ah !
[01:32] <piranesi> c' un modo per installare beryl direttamente alla versione 0.1.4 ?

[01:33] <gizmo_the_great1> Aaaarrggghhh!! This is driving me mad! I messed up using tar and accidentally got tar to send it's output to / which gobbled up all the space. I have 0.3Mb of space left! But I cannot find the file that has used up the best part of 20Gb of data! I have tried ls and du as suggested by IntuitivNipple (thanks) but I cannot get either to show me the big file? Can anyone help me at all? I just want to say 'Linux - show me the
[01:33] <gizmo_the_great1> biggest file on /'

[01:33] <jrib> pbureau: put that option in fstab I mean
[01:34] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: What was the original tar file? If you know what was in it, you can track down where its gone
[01:34] <skreet> php5-cgi question -- how do you get mysql working?
[01:34] <torrr> antisocial_boris: It is not your fault. All borises are like that.
[01:34] <margin7k> anyone know how to open a port in 6.10?
[01:34] <pbureau> jrib- well the problem I have with fstab this is a network drive... the /dev/hda /mnt/pnt does not apply...  so I am a little lost how to do the input for fstab
[01:34] <jrib> margin7k: no ports are closed by default
[01:34] <Marupa> run a service on it, margin7k.
[01:34] <nexous> Hi
[01:34] <nexous> Okay, a lot easier to work with ubuntu while chatting through ubuntu.
[01:34] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: the original staement was  'tar -cfvzW Mounts/ext3 /media/LACIE/Ext3Backup07_01_26.tar'.
[01:35] <nexous> To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
[01:35] <nexous> to the right place for your system
[01:35] <jrib> pbureau: yeah I'm not sure about that either
[01:35] <pbureau> jrib- but I havent looks into the man pages yet on fstab either I am sure ther eis a solution, but the icon thingie is fine,
[01:35] <nexous> How do I do that?
[01:35] <Tweak> kitche: im sure that aint working
[01:35] <pbureau> jrib- btw once mounted... I cannot umount it either it cannot the drive... weird.. but ill work on it some more
[01:35] <Tweak> kitche: when i restart my Xorg wont start im sure about that
[01:35] <pbureau> s/cannot/cannot find
[01:36] <goodgerster> pbureau: please take note that we are not vim
[01:36] <nexous> Where does startup items go in Ubuntu 6.06?
[01:36] <bruenig> should use quotes, or you will get a syntax error
[01:36] <pbureau> goodgerster- sorry..
[01:36] <jrib> !startup | nexous
[01:36] <ubotu> nexous: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[01:36] <tacticalcron> hmm
[01:36] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: So, you wanted to create a backup of Mounts/ext3 on /media/LACIE/ ?
[01:36] <nexous> thanks.
[01:36] <tacticalcron> Gizmo - you're just looking for the large file right?
[01:36] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: yep
[01:36] <nexous> What IRC program do you all use? XChat?
[01:36] <pbureau> goodgerster- I assumed not ina chat channel.. not that I know what bim is
[01:37] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: have you searched for the filename?
[01:37] <margin7k> I am running a service on the port I want to leave open; it's avahi-daemon. A port scan says it's closed.
[01:37] <zeer88> can anyone else help me?...
[01:37] <zeer88> !ask
[01:37] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:37] <Tweak> kitche: can it be because i updated from a old cd 5.10 to edgy ?
[01:37] <bruenig> ha
[01:37] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: no - I know I useless, but I not too sure how to do that either! Tried 'find' but could not get to work
[01:37] <JJ_> ok cant find the file libxrdp.so but can find one called libxrdp.s.o
[01:37] <Moniker42> hey how do i dual boot windows vista and ubuntu?
[01:37] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: Try this: sudo find / -name 'Ext3Backup07_01_26.tar'
[01:38] <JJ_> think this could be it ?
[01:38] <goodgerster> Moniker42: install vista then ubuntu
[01:38] <torrr> is there any free tool for resizing NTFS partition?
[01:38] <Moniker42> goodgerster, did that already
[01:38] <goodgerster> Moniker42: and..?
[01:38] <nexous> How am i copying the files to the "right place in the system"?
[01:38] <tacticalcron> torrr: Gparted Live CD
[01:38] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: Or, for a wider search: sudo find / -iname '*.tar'
[01:38] <Moniker42> goodgerster, vista is in the grub menu but it's just a blank screen of nothing when i select it
[01:38] <Moniker42> goodgerster, chainload is already +1
[01:38] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: thanks - it is working as we type :-) hold tight :-)
[01:39] <kitche> Tweak: might be sicne it's suppose to be 5.10 6.06 to 6.10 for upgrades
[01:39] <JJ_> ok forget that
[01:39] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: I am holding tight.. I'm recompiling the kernel for the 5th time tonight :)
[01:39] <JJ_> think its past my bed time
[01:39] <JJ_> brain stopped working
[01:39] <goodgerster> Moniker42: considering vista is not consumer released yet, I think it unsurprising that ubuntu does not yet cope with its idioscyncracies. google?
[01:39] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: oooh - unlucky! I just installed the 686 kernel for my dual processor Intel machine :-)
[01:39] <Tweak> kitche: i dont know what u mean with that but i updated all and selected upgrade
[01:39] <Moniker42> goodgerster, google results have given me guides to do exactly what i've already done and they've not had any problem
[01:39] <nexous> where do i find support_files in the system?
[01:39] <Stormx2> After a while of inactivity, gnome fades my computer screen to black. Can I do this via a command?
[01:40] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: I'm hacking a bug in the IDE probe logic
[01:40] <blameless> Stormx2: if you lock the screen, it will fade to black/run the screensaver
[01:40] <goodgerster> Moniker42: again, vista is not yet released and as such has not had a great deal of testing. I can only suggest that you fiddle
[01:40] <IntuitiveNipple> Stormx2: Yes, there's a bunch of scripts to do that stuff in /etc/acpi/
[01:40] <Stormx2> blameless: Can I do that from a command then?
[01:40] <shifty> !network-manager
[01:40] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[01:40] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: sounds a bit fancy! Something wrong with the way your system searches for IDE devices?
[01:40] <blameless> Stormx2: ctrl+alt+L when in gnome should lock the screen, or from the application menu
[01:41] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: OK - it reported this ' WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /home/ted/Mounts/ext3: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. find: /proc/19277/task: No such file or directory'
[01:41] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: there's a bug in the probe logic - it tries to seek to sectors beyond the end of a disk that is part of a RAID stripe set before the RAID drivers are loaded, and almost kills the drives physically
[01:41] <jrib> Stormx2: gnome-screensaver-command -a
[01:42] <theherbalizer> how can i image an audio cd to an iso?
[01:42] <Stormx2> jrib: Thanks, thats exactly what I needed
[01:42] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: is "ext3" a directory or a file?
[01:42] <goodgerster> IntuitiveNipple: it's a filesystem
[01:42] <goodgerster> it handles files
[01:42] <Megatog615> dd if=/dev/hdc of=blah.iso
[01:43] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: a mount point directory to another HDD
[01:43] <shifty> !network-manager

[01:43] <ubotu> networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[01:43] <Marupa> so will changing your sources.list file to reflect edgy sources allow you to upgrade distributions?
[01:43] <IntuitiveNipple> gizmo_the_great1: it looks like a link... thats okay, then - you can add the "-noleaf" option to the find command
[01:43] <torrr> tacticalcron: Thanks :)

[01:43] <|Jason8||> Hey guys, I'm looking at WINE, I have Ubuntu 5.10, will a Dapper installation of WINE run on it?
[01:44] <goodgerster> jrib: what is the recommended way?
[01:44] <jrib> goodgerster: see the link form ubotu
[01:44] <theherbalizer> goodgerster: know how to turn a cd into an iso?
[01:44] <goodgerster> jrib: the changing-sources method has been standard since APT was invented
[01:44] <Flannel> |Jason8||: er, will wine run wine?
[01:44] <goodgerster> theherbalizer: I don't, I'm afraid. google does, though
[01:44] <LjL> Flannel: on cygwin possibly
[01:44] <IntuitiveNipple> Yay! kernel built :)
[01:45] <jrib> goodgerster: k, but not recommended for upgrades in ubuntu now
[01:45] <goodgerster> jrib: ffs..
[01:45] <|Jason8||> Flannel, what?  I just want to get WINE.  would the Dapper version run on 5.10?
[01:45] <IntuitiveNipple> ok, time to reboot
[01:46] <goodgerster> |Jason8||: probably not
[01:46] <Flannel> |Jason8||: wine is in breezy.
[01:46] <jrib> goodgerster: it's not that you can't, it's that the recommended way is less likely to give you headaches (or so they say)
[01:46] <goodgerster> jrib: meh
[01:46] <kitche> Tweak: if you upgrade from 5.10 to 6.10 you might have a few problems it's recommended to upgrade to 6.06 from 5.10 then from 6.06 to 6.10
[01:47] <Flannel> Tweak: most likely have problems.  Almost guarenteed to have problems, etc. Upgrades are (currently) only one version at a time
[01:47] <gizmo_the_great1> IntuitiveNipple: thanks for the help. I off to bed - tired.
[01:47] <goodgerster> jrib: back in my day, we dist-upgraded and liked it! *rant*

[01:48] <bruenig> back in my day people didn't /me pings the bell, in attempts to impress other faceless irc users
[01:48] <goodgerster> Tweak: dvdrw = cdrw; and see the upgrade instructions
[01:48] <mystic_touch> Hello :)
[01:48] <Tweak> upgrade smells :P il just reinstall
[01:48] <goodgerster> bruenig: back in my day, people had senses of humour
[01:48] <goodgerster> anyone not being served?

[01:48] <bruenig> s/gives/give

[01:49] <goodgerster> bruenig: if you have a problem with the advice I give, I suggest you offer better advice. and please submit complaints re: my bell script to /dev/null (admittedly, this retort is hackneyed)
[01:50] <malmen> where can i see the network config files ?

[01:54] <shifty> something like when u just install ubuntu there is this icon on systray that shows lo connection

[01:57] <pbureau> mroes- I can help what kind of printer and how is it connected usb/network ?

[01:57] <mroes> I followed a guide that installed a printer driver into /usr/lib/cups/backend, but I don't see the printer driver listed in the add printer dialogs, anyone have any ideas what I could check to see what I'm doing wrong?

[01:57] <whyimgone> Any ideas?
[01:58] <bruenig> !rtfm
[01:58] <micahcowan> whyimgone, look for libsdl.
[01:58] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[01:58] <LjL> !find libsdl | whyimgone

[01:58] <goodgerster> whyimgone: it's in the distros... libsdl, libsdl-dev..
[01:58] <goodgerster> bruenig: please shut up..
[01:58] <jrib> whyimgone: make sure the games aren't already in the repositories too
[01:58] <micahcowan> you'll need the -dev versions for compiling against, whyimgone.
[01:58] <cens0red> what does "Cyclone" do? I have an alert box telling me that the program has "quit unexpectedly".
[01:59] <micahcowan> heh

[02:16] <tyrion> bruenig: just before i do this i note that its the x64 package, i have a 64 bit install
[02:16] <antisocial_boris> http://www.sns.pastebin.com/868353 this is my grub menu.list
[02:16] <bruenig> tyrion, ah yeah that is the problem
[02:16] <CoRnJuLiOx> hey, does anyone here know how to configure xmame?
[02:17] <grimboy> CoRnJuLiOx, What type of configuration. You can do lots of stuff through pressing tab.
[02:17] <Einherjer> Hm will there be a vmware-server package or for what are the vmware-kernel-modules?
[02:17] <grimboy> With a question mark
[02:17] <CoRnJuLiOx> grimboy: what do you mean by configuration? version and stuff?
[02:17] <|Jason8||> Hey guys, when a program requires more memory than what the computer has (RAM), does it just shut down without any warning?
[02:18] <antisocial_boris> tyrion: could you look at mine? i only managed to boot onto here using the install cd booting to first hdd
[02:18] <tyrion> bruenig: oh... is there no 64bit edition of wine?
[02:18] <bronze_0_1> jason no. Virtual memory
[02:18] <CoRnJuLiOx> i can get it to run a game, but the refresh rate is all screwed up
[02:18] <|Jason8||> GAIM shuts itself down whenever I connect to MSN and it retrieves my buddy list
[02:18] <grimboy> CoRnJuLiOx, I asked you first. What type of configuration do you wnat.
[02:18] <kenny20> Hi, it's possible to disable all plugin from about:plugin, in firefox ou galeon ?
[02:18] <tyrion> antisocial_boris: uno momento, per favore
[02:18] <grimboy> CoRnJuLiOx, Oh
[02:18] <antisocial_boris> ok
[02:18] <bronze_0_1> Jason8 good

[02:18] <kenny20> Hi, it's possible to disable all plugin from about:plugin, in firefox ou galeon ?
[02:18] <bruenig> tyrion, http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[02:18] <grimboy> CoRnJuLiOx, Have you checked the tab menu?
[02:18] <CoRnJuLiOx> the tab menu?
[02:18] <CoRnJuLiOx> nope
[02:18] <tyrion> bruenig: merci
[02:19] <CoRnJuLiOx> lemme try

[02:19] <kenny20> please
[02:19] <grimboy> CoRnJuLiOx, If so command line arguments and/or frontends may help.
[02:19] <|Jason8||> Does anyone know why Gaim shuts itself down whenever I connect to MSN and it retrieves my buddy list?
[02:19] <grimboy> As an alternative to tab

[02:19] <ubotu> kenny20: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:19] <tyrion> elyon225: how many physical drives do you have?
[02:19] <bronze_0_1> |Jason8||: becuase you have an unfreindly nick
[02:19] <elyon225> tyrion: Just one.
[02:19] <pbureau> |Jason8||- never had this problem, you using the beta version of Gaim ?
[02:19] <kitche> kenny20: just remove the files for the plugins for that browser from the folder at least that's hwo I do it
[02:20] <tyrion> elyon225: and when you installed Windows was the drive just formated?
[02:20] <|Jason8||> pbureau, just the one that came with Ubuntu 5.10
[02:20] <shifty> !info wine
[02:20] <grimboy> kenny20, Either that or move them to a different directory.
[02:20] <ubotu> wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.22-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 9001 kB, installed size 42452 kB
[02:20] <elyon225> tyrion: No.. just the partition it installed on hda6.
[02:20] <elyon225> tyrion: Oh, and it had to format hda1, too...
[02:20] <pbureau> |Jason8||-  ah... check for update for gain perhaps what version you running ?
[02:20] <kenny20> grimboy: non it's for my second profile only
[02:20] <kenny20> grimboy: a secure profile
[02:21] <tyrion> elyon225: so Windows is on hda6?
[02:21] <|Jason8||> 1.5.0
[02:21] <CoRnJuLiOx> grimboy: is there a command line argument to change the refresh rate?
[02:21] <elyon225> tyrion: Yes.
[02:21] <kenny20> grimboy: for the normal profile, i'll use all plugins (java, flash, acrobat...)
[02:21] <elyon225> tyrion: Well, according to Linux it is :)
[02:21] <pbureau> |Jason8||- look for 2.00
[02:21] <emilia> hello, i have just shared a folder on my ubuntu pc, but when i connect to it from my windows pc, it asks for a password, and my ubuntu credentials dont work?
[02:21] <grimboy> CoRnJuLiOx, I'm going to be lazy and say man mame because I can't remember.
[02:21] <|Jason8||> Okay, I'll look.
[02:21] <pbureau> emilia- try Guest as name no password if you have not configured your windows share folder with a password
[02:21] <elyon225> tyrion: Windows booted fine until I reinstalled Kubuntu to hda1 (which obviously overwrote Windows boot info.
[02:21] <tyrion> elyon225: which (if i remember correctlly) is (hd0,5) (please someone correct me if i wrong)
[02:21] <Flannel> pbureau, |Jason8||, 2 isn't in breezy, |Jason8||, you might start thinking about upgrading to dapper, Breezy goes out of support in a few months anyway
[02:22] <elyon225> tyrion: You're the second one that's mentioned it being hd0,5...
[02:22] <Flannel> elyon225: hd0,5 is hda6
[02:22] <Nabeshein> emila- also make sure you have the guest account activated on your windows pc if you log in as guest. it won't work otherwise
[02:22] <elyon225> tyrion: I tried adding a menu entry to menu.lst to boot windows from (hd0,5) but it gave me an "Invalid Device" error when trying to use it.
[02:23] <tyrion> elyon225: what other options did you give it
[02:23] <|Jason8||> Flannel, I know.  I just had the CD and wanted to try it.
[02:23] <elyon225> ...unless I actually did (hda0,5) instead.
[02:23] <Flannel> elyon225, you might also try using rootnoverify instead of just root, sometimes windows needs that.
[02:23] <elyon225> tyrion: I just copied the example from within menu.lst and changed the device.
[02:23] <emilia> Nabeshein: nah gues didnt work, do you know how to make it so i can access the folder with my regular account ?
[02:24] <Flannel> !samba | emilia
[02:24] <ubotu> emilia: 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
[02:24] <Nabeshein> emilia-what version of windows do you have? home, pro, or corp?
[02:24] <Flannel> emilia: you need to setup samba passwords
[02:24] <emilia> Nabeshein: XP Pro
[02:24] <Urthmover_> anyone have much experience with WINE?
[02:25] <tyrion> elyon225: try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3037/
[02:25] <emilia> samba is way too complicated for me to setup just for a shared folder :\ ill never figure that out
[02:25] <Urthmover_> I'm trying to install UO
[02:25] <shifty> uo? o.o
[02:25] <tyrion> elyon225: its basically the same but with boot at the end (it worked for me once, many moons ago)
[02:25] <Flannel> emilia: that's what's needed.  And, That webpage walks you through it
[02:25] <elyon225> tyrion: Is that identical to my other menu.lst so I can just copy that whole thing?
[02:25] <Flannel> Urthmover_: if you can't find anyone here, try #winehq
[02:25] <Nabeshein> emilia- you might be able to add permissions or a network user, but i'm not 100% on that, i'm very fresh to linux and all networks i managed were military, so 100% windows
[02:26] <Urthmover_> thx flannel
[02:26] <tyrion> elyon225: i just added a few lines to the one you gave me
[02:26] <mrpurple> !skype

[02:26] <elyon225> tyrion: Alright... I'll give it a shot.
[02:26] <tyrion> antisocial_boris: now, much of the same applies to you, which partition/drive is windows on?
[02:26] <elyon225> Thank you.
[02:26] <_`XeOn_> hello
[02:26] <tyrion> elyon225: np, best of luck
[02:27] <_`XeOn_> !script
[02:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about script - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:27] <ixiion> hi
[02:27] <LjL> !msg the bot > _`XeOn_
[02:27] <grimboy> ixiion, Lo bob
[02:28] <Liberax> anybudy had got a pptp with network manager on amd64?
[02:28] <_`XeOn_> how do i add and script to my irc client?
[02:28] <Nabeshein> i'm having a hard time finding the answer to this: how do i change the permissions on an external hdd so i can write to it. every way i try to, it keeps giving me "can't change permissions, device is read-only"
[02:28] <shwag> can I delete the contents of /var/log/mysql ?
[02:28] <ixiion> how can i see wich driver/modul my network interface use ?
[02:28] <grimboy> shwag, If you really want to.
[02:28] <Megatog615> Anyone know if mounting /tmp on a tmpfs has any benefits?
[02:28] <shwag> grimboy: what are they?
[02:28] <kitche> Nabeshein: with umask and have it mount with rw instead of ro
[02:29] <elyon225> tyrion: Nope.  "Error 12: Invalid Device Requested"
[02:29] <grimboy> shwag, Anything logged by mysql
[02:29] <Flannel> Nabeshein: use umask (or something similar, the exact mask will depend on the partition type), either in the mount command, or in the fstab
[02:29] <grimboy> shwag, Depends on your logging level.
[02:29] <nbaster> hi all
[02:29] <philwhln> hi, my question for today is... i want to quickly switch between english and japanese input on ubuntu. is there a short-cut key and applet i can install. i had something similar in a previous install of ubuntu, but cannot remember what i installed
[02:29] <shwag> grimboy: so its not dangerous ?
[02:29] <Flannel> elyon225: try rootnoverify instead of root
[02:29] <grimboy> shwag, You can go ahead and delete if you want but I wouldn't see any reason to.
[02:30] <shwag> grimboy: im transfering files over a network. its taking a long time.
[02:30] <grimboy> shwag, Not important. Kill it.
[02:30] <elyon225> Flannel: So it would be "rootnoverify		(hd0,5)"?
[02:30] <Nabeshein> thank you, i can probably figure it out from there, i just didn't know what direction to go in
[02:31] <Flannel> elyon225: right
[02:31] <elyon225> Flannel: Alrighty... reboot again. :)  Thanks.
[02:31] <Flannel> Nabeshein: man mount has a ton of information in it
[02:31] <tacticalcron> RE: /tmp and tmpfs - no real advantages.
[02:31] <grimboy> Flannel, Yes
[02:31] <tacticalcron>  /tmp is cleaned out on reboot anyway.
[02:31] <grimboy> YES DAMMIT
[02:31] <nbaster> how to switch between english and arabic . note: this is the first time using ubuntu
[02:32] <Eleaf> Hello
[02:32] <Eleaf> I need help getting mp3s to work in rhythmbox
[02:32] <Eleaf> I have all the dependencies installed from RestrictedFormats on the wiki
[02:32] <galorin> ok.. I hope a dead drive in my RAID array hasn't caused udev to die on me, and dump me to busybox on boot.
[02:32] <Eleaf> This normally works for rhythmbox, but not on this computer.
[02:32] <Eleaf> Weird.
[02:32] <grimboy> Eleaf, Does it work in totem?
[02:33] <grimboy> (Not saying to use totem just checking)
[02:33] <tyrion> Eleaf: what CPU do you have?
[02:33] <elyon225> Flannel, tyrion:  Nope... same error.
[02:33] <tyrion> grimboy: :)
[02:33] <Urthmover_> I end up making a zombie outta mplayer on a regular basis  GRRRRRRRRRrr
[02:33] <Eleaf> grimboy, indeed.
[02:33] <Eleaf> grimboy, after I installed the dependencies, mp3's and other formats play in totem.
[02:33] <Eleaf> Not rhythmbox.
[02:33] <Eleaf> tyrion, amd
[02:33] <Eleaf> x86
[02:34] <tyrion> elyon225: hymm... i not a grub expret, but the XP boot.ini and autoexe.bat files may be faulty
[02:34] <grimboy> Eleaf, What exactly goes wrong. If you spawn from a console to you get any output when trying to play?
[02:34] <elyon225> tyrion: But I should be able to install WinXP to a partition other than hda1, right?
[02:35] <Eleaf> it might be working now.
[02:35] <Eleaf> grimboy, I think it may be playing correctly now.  It may have just not imported the folder when I asked or something.
[02:35] <grimboy> Eleaf, Ah, fair enough.
[02:35] <galorin> elyon225, it may be possible, but I've never had it work in my experience.
[02:35] <Eleaf> I restarted rhythmbox and it seems to have loaded the library okay now.  Thanks for your ideas.
[02:36] <tyrion> elyon225: in theory you should be able to install XP on any free space/unformated/FAT32/NTFS partition
[02:36] <Eleaf> yeah..
[02:36] <elyon225> tyrion: Well, it installed and booted fine.... until I installed Kubuntu on hda1
[02:36] <Elohimus> Does anyone know what I'm supposed to download with apt-get to get my radeon 9250 working correctly?
[02:37] <elyon225> tyrion: So there's something to do with GRUB overwriting all of Windows' boot information, I think... but I don't know much.
[02:37] <Elohimus> tyrion: what's the issue?
[02:37] <Urthmover_> how do I make the entire bar dissappear when audto-hide occurs....it leaves a few rows of pixels...(in GNOME)
[02:37] <Urthmover_> sounds silly...but its BUGGIN!!!!
[02:38] <jrib> Urthmover_: afaik, you can't easily.  But you can make it smaller using gconf-editor
[02:38] <tyrion> elyon225: yeah, the Master Boot Record, where GRUB sits, if i remember correctlly
[02:38] <tyrion> Elohimus: em... wine wise?
[02:38] <elyon225> tyrion: Yeah.  And I know WinXP wants ITS boot loader on the mbr... so where is the middle ground?
[02:38] <Flannel> tyrion, elyon225, correct.  the MBR (a spot on the disk) needs a booloader -- either windows bootloader or grub (or others)
[02:38] <Urthmover_> bummer...thanks tho
[02:38] <Urthmover_> KDE dissappears....
[02:39] <toM|vendettA> I just installed xchat-gnome, I have a few questions about it... 1) How can I get a list of the people in the channel to the right.. 2) How can I switch from tree mode to tab mode (regarding channels and servers) and 3) How can I get an mp3 script to display what I am playing in XMMS?
[02:39] <Urthmover_> but Gnome....and I love it otherwise
[02:39] <Flannel> elyon225: grub can boot to windows, well, except you're having issues with it.
[02:39] <patbam> hi, i was looking at http://richarddcrowley.org/blog/view/101 , which contains this line: # apt-get install libmysql-ruby1.8 NO
[02:39] <patbam> including the NO. sis that an apt-get option? because i can't figure it out if it is
[02:39] <Urthmover_> I made mine dual boot XP/Edgy
[02:39] <elyon225> toM|vendettA: For #1)  The list is there, just resized to basically nothing.  Just move your mouse to the border by the right until it becomes a resize icon... then click, hold, and drag it out.
[02:39] <Urthmover_> <-- diggin it
[02:40] <jrib> patbam: NO :)
[02:40] <patbam> jrib: lol , ok
[02:40] <patbam> haha
[02:40] <elyon225> Flannel: Any more suggestions on what I can do?
[02:40] <tyrion> Elohimus: maybe xserver-xorg-video-ati xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:40] <toM|vendettA> elyon225: i have tried this by moving my mouse over pixel by pixel.. it still doesnt work :S
[02:40] <elyon225> Flannel: Because the GRUB faq's say it CAN'T boot windows... or something like that.
[02:40] <Elohimus> tyrion: yea, installing that now.
[02:40] <elyon225> !grub
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <tyrion> Elohimus: what is it youe after?
[02:41] <Flannel> elyon225: no, that's not correct.  You have ... a bad GRUB Faq. I guess.
[02:41] <Elohimus> tyrion: a nicer resolution
[02:41] <elyon225> Flannel: hmm... I'm at a loss then.
[02:41] <tyrion> Elohimus: ah. I was burned badlly during the week in persuit of compiz :(
[02:42] <tyrion> it killed my X server
[02:42] <Flannel> elyon225: where was that paste of your menu.lst?
[02:42] <_`XeOn_> can any1 tell me where to download irc scripts for konversation?
[02:42] <tyrion> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3037/
[02:43] <elyon225> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3039/
[02:43] <xtknight> elyon225: hows it going
[02:43] <elyon225> Hmm...and now of course Adept doesn't want to start lol.  Man, I've been using Ubuntu for over a month now and there are STILL tons of problems :P
[02:43] <Flannel> elyon225: you need to add the windows stuff AFTER that last comment, or it'll get overwritten next kernel update, by the way.
[02:43] <elyon225> xtknight: Hey there... well... things are better than they were :)
[02:43] <xtknight> elyon225: youre the guy who was trying to compile gparted right?
[02:44] <elyon225> xtknight: Yep.
[02:44] <xtknight> fun fun...
[02:44] <elyon225> xtknight: I ended up just getting the GParted LiveCD :)   And switched to Kubuntu.
[02:44] <elyon225> ...and bought a GeForce :)
[02:44] <elyon225> Flannel: Alright, I moved it.
[02:44] <Flannel> elyon225: you need a makeactive in there, before boot, after chainloader
[02:45] <xtknight> gparted livecd is the best solution as it's a closed solution.  no system libraries have to be loaded from whatever distro youre using.  its standalone bundled with proven libs etc
[02:45] <elyon225> Flannel: There is one in there... just the wrong place, I take it?
[02:45] <Akuma_> trivial but annoying problem here: i can't seem to be able to get a beep from the sheel .. shouldnt echo -e '\a' give me one? or ^G ?
[02:45] <Flannel> elyon225: oh, did I miss it? let me look
[02:45] <Flannel> elyon225: right, makeactive goes after chainloader
[02:46] <elyon225> Flannel: Would that be causing an Invalid Device error?
[02:46] <_`XeOn_> can any1 tell me where to download irc scripts for konversation?
[02:46] <Flannel> elyon225: I'm not sure.  What's the exact text of the error?
[02:46] <patbam> gparted really helped me when the default dvd install from the desktop had trouble installing the filesystem. i reformatted with gparted, rebooted, installed dvd again, golden.
[02:46] <lontra> how can i remove gnome and just have kde?
[02:46] <elyon225> Flannel: "Error 12: Invalid Device Requested".  That happens as soon as I select "Windows XP" from the menu.
[02:47] <aryan> how do i access trash as the root user!????
[02:47] <aryan> Can someone please tell me how to access trash as the root user?

[02:48] <aryan> thats not very mic =(
[02:48] <kitche> aryan: /home/<user>/.trash might be .Trash instead
[02:48] <aryan> ok let me check
[02:48] <Flannel> elyon225: I'll do some poking around, will you double check that windows is on hda6?  since, that could be the cause of the error (and isn't uncommon, we all make silly mistakes)
[02:48] <elyon225> !off-topic | tacticalcron
[02:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:48] <kitche> aryan: but if you use the terminal to delete a file then it won't be in trash
[02:48] <tacticalcron> hehe
[02:48] <tyrion> is there any way of getting gliffy working on a 64bit system?
[02:49] <tacticalcron> It is related..
[02:49] <tacticalcron> I'm messing with tvtime
[02:49] <Flannel> tacticalcron: #ubuntu-offtopic is the channel for general chit chat, #ubuntu is for support related discussion only, thanks.
[02:49] <elyon225> Flannel: yeah, when I first saw that error, I checked /etc/fstab to make sure.  It's mounting properly as hda6
[02:49] <Flannel> elyon225: alright, thanks
[02:49] <elyon225> tacticalcron: Lol okay.
[02:49] <tacticalcron> It was a pleasant distraction anyway..  :-D
[02:50] <aryan> kitche: trash wasnt there
[02:50] <kitche> aryan: check the Desktop then .trash
[02:50] <elyon225> I don't suppose Ubuntu can order me a beer, could it?  It's supposed to be the OS of the future ;)
[02:50] <aryan> kitche: maybe i went to the wrong directory? can you tell me how i can type a code in terminal and have trash popum
[02:50] <KorN[CM] > can someone assist me with software raid (dmraid) cause I had it working but it's broken now ):
[02:50] <jvai> hey peeps
[02:50] <kitche> aryan: you can't since trash depends on the window manager for example my system has no trash
[02:50] <KorN[CM] > I moved HDs into a new case and now no raid ):
[02:50] <aryan> kitche: i dont have trash on my desktop
[02:51] <tacticalcron> Of course, I'm sitting in #tvtime and no one appears to be there..
[02:51] <kitche> aryan: what window manager/desktop environment do you use?
[02:51] <aryan> kitche: i only have trash on my panel and thats about it
[02:51] <Lard-O-Lad> the Edgy installer keeps hanging on the livecd boot, upon running without the quiet option, I found that it cuts out at the 'Starting System Log' stage, is there some param I can run such that it will resolve this issue?
[02:51] <aryan> kitche: ubuntu 6.10 with gnome and beryl, i hope thats what you were asking for =D
[02:52] <tyrion> does anyone here use xfce?
[02:52] <elyon225> tyrion: Tried it once... that count?
[02:52] <aryan> kitche: so can you help me out?
[02:53] <julia> hi
[02:53] <julia> may 0131 ask something
[02:53] <julia> to someone
[02:53] <duelboot> !ask
[02:53] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:53] <kitche> aryan: try and find a .trash directory
[02:53] <julia> ok where are u from
[02:53] <aryan> kitche: im a complete noob to linux, how do i go about doing that
[02:53] <julia> tis people and u
[02:53] <duelboot> !offtopic | julia
[02:53] <ubotu> julia: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:54] <Flannel> elyon225: try this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3040/
[02:54] <tyrion> elyon225: :) itl do

[02:54] <elyon225> Flannel: Ahh... disk swapping?
[02:55] <aryan> can someone tell me how to access trash as the root user"?
[02:55] <kitche> aryan: you can do sudo updatedb then locate .trash
[02:55] <Flannel> elyon225: yeah, I didn't think it was possible to map between partitions, but google seems to think it is.  But since windows is on extended, that may be it.
[02:55] <elyon225> okay... will try it again :)
[02:55] <elyon225> If I don't come back, assume I was successful and thank you :)
[02:56] <aryan> kitche: how do i locate trash, that command doesnt show up with anything
[02:56] <tyrion> has anyone managed to get flash working reliablly on a 64bit box in a browser
[02:56] <julia> someone help me
[02:56] <julia> !
[02:56] <tyrion> julia: shoot
[02:57] <Lard-O-Lad> aryan: sudo -s, then cd to the .trash
[02:57] <Flannel> Lard-O-Lad: -i is better than -s
[02:57] <kitche> aryan: locate is a command by itself
[02:57] <BlueEagle> !ask | julia
[02:57] <ubotu> julia: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:57] <ardchoille42> Flannel, What does sudo -i do? It doesn't do anything with enabling the root account does it?
[02:57] <_`XeOn_> how to upgrade konversation?
[02:58] <Lard-O-Lad> Flannel: eh, im too lazy to change, i've been using -s since breezy, I dont feel like changing...
[02:58] <_`XeOn_> what command to run ?
[02:58] <elyon225> Flannel: Well, I'm back.   Same error.
[02:58] <xtknight> elyon225: fill me in on your current debacle ;)
[02:58] <Flannel> ardchoille42: no, it just starts a root terminal, very similar to -s
[02:58] <LjL> Flannel, for cd'ing to the .trash of one's home directory, i suppose -s would be better than -i. though i'm not quite sure why you'd use sudo for that anyway
[02:58] <julia> black eagle
[02:58] <elyon225> Flannel: According to the GRUB docs, error 12 is one of those stupid catch-all errors that doesn't fit into the other categories.
[02:58] <ardchoille42> Flannel, Oh, ok, thanks
[02:58] <aryan> kitche: it cant find trash, it says no such directory when i type cd .trash
[02:58] <aryan> kitche: after navigating to root
[02:59] <julia> 0131m writing to u  in secret room
[02:59] <Flannel> LjL: because you were playing around with sudo nautilus? instead of gksudo, I imagine.
[02:59] <adaptr> capital T
[02:59] <julia> please look
[02:59] <elyon225> xtknight: Well, I had Kubuntu installed, wanted to add Windows.  Couldn't install Windows without deleting hda1 partition.  So once I did that and installed Windows, it booted up fine.
[02:59] <kitche> aryan: umm did you do sudo updatedb && locate .trsh
[02:59] <LjL> Flannel: i suppose so. i don't even have ~/.trash
[02:59] <adaptr> julia: stop trolling
[02:59] <BlueEagle> !u
[02:59] <ubotu> Unless you're Dutch, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[02:59] <elyon225> xtknight: However, not wanting to rely on Windows, I reinstalled Kubuntu onto hda1.  Now, I cannot boot into Windows (which is installed onto hda6)
[02:59] <kitche> aryan: .trsh/.trash
[03:00] <aryan> kitche: i figured it out, i can just do sudo rm -fr $HOME/.Trash/
[03:00] <shwag> how can I display the uptime for all my users when the login. motd doesnt do it, and .login only works on a per users basis.
[03:00] <adaptr> shwag: last, lastlog
[03:00] <julia> blueeagle
[03:00] <xtknight> elyon225: ahh
[03:00] <julia> please talk to me
[03:00] <shwag> adaptr: huh ?
[03:00] <xtknight> julia: if you have a question please ask it in the channel.
[03:00] <Lard-O-Lad> aryan: sudo nautilus, then enable viewing hidden (ctrl-h iirc), find your trash and do what you want
[03:00] <wastrel> shwag:  put it in /etc/bash.profile
[03:00] <Flannel> julia: please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[03:00] <shwag> wastrel: you sure ?
[03:01] <adaptr> shwag: oh, *when they log in*....
[03:01] <shwag> wastrel: you mean bash.bashrc ?
[03:01] <elyon225> xtknight: You have any ideas?
[03:01] <wastrel> shwag: well it's only if they're using bash i guess.   put  "cat /etc/motd"
[03:01] <julia> lol where are u from
[03:01] <xtknight> elyon225: grub set to chainload (hd0,5) ?
[03:01] <shwag> wastrel: I dont have a /etc/bash.profile
[03:01] <wastrel> shwag:  bash_profile is only executed for login shells.
[03:01] <elyon225> xtknight: Yes.
[03:01] <shwag> wastrel: /etc/motd is just a text file. no execute.
[03:01] <ardchoille42> LjL, Thank you
[03:01] <wastrel> sec.
[03:02] <xtknight> elyon225: certain the windows mbr exists on hda6?
[03:02] <xtknight> elyon225: boot sector, not mbr srory
[03:02] <shwag> wastrel: guess ill just have to edit .login for all the users.
[03:02] <elyon225> xtknight: No idea.
[03:02] <wastrel> shwag:  it's /etc/profile  :]   my bad
[03:02] <_`XeOn_> its any1 helping at all?
[03:02] <adaptr> shwag: you want to display the system's uptime whenever a user logs in?
[03:02] <wastrel> shwag:  echo "cat /etc/motd" >> /etc/profile
[03:02] <elyon225> xtknight: I'm pretty sure windows usually FORCES it to load onto the mbr.
[03:02] <adaptr> wastrel: that is already in there....
[03:03] <shwag> wastrel: you want me to put the contents of motd into /etc/profile ?!
[03:03] <adaptr> wastrel: motd and issue are pulled in by default
[03:03] <wastrel> heh i forgot the question adaptr shwag
[03:03] <threeonefour> who knows the most about CUPS
[03:03] <elyon225> xtknight: Here is my menu.lst, in case you want to see it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3041/
[03:03] <edman007> is there i was i can upgrade to a newer version of the kernel (at 2.6.17.10 now) in ubuntu edgy with apt-get
[03:03] <shwag> wastrel: haha
[03:03] <LjL> shwag: i guess he got it wrong, to echo "uptime" >>/etc/profile, i think he meant that
[03:03] <wastrel> shwag:  echo "uptime" >> /etc/profile
[03:04] <threeonefour>  i get an error when trying to print  "Paused: Job-Hold_Until-Specified"  what does that mean  i am just trying to print a test page
[03:04] <adaptr> shwag: echo "uptime" >> /etc/profile
[03:04] <Megatog615> Woah
[03:04] <Megatog615> I just put XMMS into doublesize mode and it crashed
[03:04] <adaptr> ME ! I was right :P
[03:04] <yellow> hey guys, anyone ever used streamtuner ?
[03:04] <Megatog615> Anyone else here have problems with XMMS crashing?
[03:04] <yellow> somehow i can't have the bookmarks saved
[03:04] <elyon225> edman007: Probably not.  New versions (unless they're security updates) aren't kept in the repositories.  You'd need to do it manually.
[03:04] <BlueEagle> _`xeon_: I don't know how well konversation supports scripts. I suggest you have a look-see on the homepages. Also to upgrade packages: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:05] <LjL> BlueEagle, _`XeOn_: it almost doesn't
[03:05] <xtknight> elyon225: sudo head /dev/hda6 | grep BOOTMGR
[03:05] <ardchoille42> Megatog615, How did you install xmms?
[03:05] <BlueEagle> _`xeon_: If you want a newer version than the one in the repositories (NOT RECOMENDED) you will most likely need to compile them yourself.
[03:05] <elyon225> xtknight: Returned nothing.
[03:05] <Hatty> ardchoille42: apt-get install xmms ?
[03:05] <xtknight> elyon225: xp boot sector is not on that partition
[03:05] <Lard-O-Lad> I cant get the Edgy LiveCD to bootl, should I try installing Fiesty?
[03:05] <xtknight> elyon225: at least as far as i can tell.
[03:05] <elyon225> xtknight: How do I fix that?
[03:05] <LjL> xtknight: perhaps using "hd" would be better if one doesn't want a messed up terminal though
[03:05] <ardchoille42> Hatty, I want to know how he installed it
[03:05] <xtknight> elyon225: or maybe it's the vista one.  let me mak sure
[03:05] <LjL> xtknight: oh there's grep, nevermind
[03:06] <_`XeOn_> BlueEagle [TNT] ~* ok thanks
[03:06] <edman007> what do i need to do to tell ubuntu to forget about trying to upgrade my kernel so i can do it from source then (so apt-get ignores it)
[03:06] <threeonefour> my printer wont print i need help
[03:06] <Megatog615> ardchoille42: sudo apt-get install xmms
[03:06] <LjL> Ubotu, tell edman007 about kernel | edman007, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:06] <paul__> anyone good w/ ubuntu here?
[03:06] <ardchoille42> Megatog615, Did you install any plugins for xmms?
[03:06] <LjL> !anyone | paul__
[03:06] <ubotu> paul__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:06] <Megatog615> It randomly crashes sometimes when it changes songs
[03:06] <Flannel> edman007: remove the kernel metapackages
[03:06] <BlueEagle> !ask | paul__
[03:06] <ubotu> paul__: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:06] <wastrel> paul__:  mostly not, but you might get lucky  what's the problem?
[03:06] <elyon225> xtknight: Well, I just ran head on it without the grep and it didn't return much that was discernable.
[03:06] <Megatog615> I have scrobbler
[03:07] <xtknight> elyon225: do you see "N T L D R" anywhere?
[03:07] <Megatog615> And that might be why
[03:07] <paul__> i need help installing software on my ubuntu computer
[03:07] <elyon225> xtknight: Yeah, a  few times.
[03:07] <ardchoille42> Megatog615, try disabling scrobbler and see if it crashes at double size
[03:07] <Megatog615> Is there a repo somewhere with the latest audioscrobbler plugin for XMMS?
[03:07] <edman007> Flannel, apt-get remove linux?
[03:07] <paul__> i dled some linux games and i need help installiing them.
[03:07] <elyon225> xtknight: Said it's missing. :)
[03:07] <BlueEagle> paul__: It would be helpful if you were more spesific with regards to the software you need installed.
[03:07] <Flannel> edman007: no, uh, actually, which version of ubuntu are you running? dapper? edgy?
[03:07] <xtknight> elyon225: heh, nah that's just part of the binary program
[03:07] <edman007> edgy
[03:07] <grimboy> paul__, What are they.
[03:07] <paul__> american army
[03:08] <paul__> and legends
[03:08] <xtknight> elyon225: well the xp boot sector is probably on there then.  perhaps it's  a post-bootsector problem
[03:08] <grimboy> paul__, Try right clicking then ticking execute in the permissions tab.
[03:08] <xtknight> elyon225: you get error 12 you said?
[03:08] <BlueEagle> paul__: Did you read the documentation?
[03:08] <grimboy> paul__, On the file.
[03:08] <monokrome> yo
[03:08] <Flannel> edman007: remove linux-image-generic, it'll pull with it linux-generic, no, you don't want to remove linux-image-[versions] -generic, if it asks.
[03:08] <elyon225> xtknight: Yes.
[03:08] <LjL> edman007, i was convinced that page answered your question, but i'm afraid it doesn't
[03:08] <grimboy> BlueEagle, No, suprise suprise he didn't. He's human.
[03:08] <xtknight> elyon225: well that means 'invalid device'
[03:08] <Flannel> edman007: and I think you need to do the same for your restricted modules, and just remember you'll nolonger recieve automatic updates
[03:08] <elyon225> xtknight: Which the GRUB docs say it is an error where the device string is recognized, but doesn't fall into the other error categories.

[03:09] <KorN[CM] > can someone assist me with software raid (dmraid) cause I had it working but it's broken now ): any help would be MOSt appreciated
[03:09] <paul__> i click it and it says "open w/ text editor" i dont see excecute
[03:09] <Flannel> !raid | KorN[CM] 
[03:09] <ubotu> KorN[CM] : Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[03:09] <elyon225> xtknight: So basically the equivalent of Windows saying "Fatal Error" and nothing else ;)
[03:09] <edman007> yea, well i can upgrade myself, the problem is that the network drivers in that kernel have a really bad bug on my system and i can't use it
[03:10] <KorN[CM] > so LVM can do raid inbuilt?
[03:10] <kismet> I have trouble connecting my vx8300 to ubuntu anybody please help?
[03:10] <wastrel> paul__:  you need to right-click, select properties and check the "execute" box
[03:10] <xtknight> elyon225: try making the entry this and see what happens.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3043/
[03:10] <wastrel> paul__:  er, permissions, not properties.
[03:10] <Flannel> edman007: linux-restricted-modules-generic is the restricted modules metapackage you'll need to remove
[03:10] <LjL> edman007: you basically just need to give your own kernel package a newer version than what'll be pulled from the repositories, though the solutions involving removing linux* packages might also work. i'm not quite sure on the specific details however
[03:10] <paul__> ok i am trying that
[03:10] <Megatog615> I'm going to try backporting the feisty xmms and see what happens
[03:10] <wastrel> hm both properties and permissions
[03:11] <paul__> should i run in terminal or just run?
[03:11] <edman007> ok, thanks i'll try that
[03:11] <threeonefour> i get this error when trying to print  "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnij_usb failed"   can i get some help please
[03:11] <LjL> paul__: depends on the program. terminal would be best
[03:11] <elyon225> xtknight: Hmm... all that does is make it the default, right?
[03:11] <elyon225> But okay... I'll try it.
[03:11] <Megatog615> Woah
[03:11] <wastrel> paul__:  i dunno, try it without first
[03:11] <Megatog615> What was that?
[03:11] <xtknight> script kiddies
[03:11] <Flannel> LjL, edman007, linux-generic (in a roundabout way -- a few depends deep) depends on the newest version of the kernel, so if it's installed (and it's direct children), it'll continue to bring in new versions of the kernel
[03:12] <Flannel> !dcc | Megatog615

[03:13] <paul__> its thinking
[03:13] <kismet> Bitpim anyone???
[03:13] <xtknight> how does it affect your router?
[03:13] <wastrel> what is bitpim?
[03:14] <Flannel> kismet: it's in universe
[03:14] <xtknight> dcc cmd, seems more an irc exploit to me...hmm
[03:14] <wastrel> xtknight:  it doesn't.  it is a flaw in a certain brand of router.
[03:14] <xtknight> didnt even think routers recognized it
[03:14] <LjL> Ubotu, tell xtknight about exploit | xtknight, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:14] <Megatog615> They use invalid DCC commands to drop you from the server
[03:14] <philwhln> i'm not able to see the scim tray icon, even though it's enabled in the scim input method setup. how can i fix this?
[03:14] <threeonefour> i get this error when trying to print  "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnij_usb failed"   can i get some help please
[03:14] <kismet> Bitpim---Edit and control CDMA based cellphones ie LG VX8300
[03:14] <BearPerson> xtknight, it looks like a trojan connection to a slightly over-zealous stateful firewall
[03:14] <Megatog615> An updated router can prevent it
[03:14] <yellow> has anyone got a problem with bookmarks in streamtuner ?
[03:14] <Megatog615> That was actually the first time I've ever seen that happen
[03:14] <elyon225> xtknight: Sorry to say, I'm still in Linux
[03:15] <xtknight> ahh that's interesting
[03:15] <jvai> wow, i got banned
[03:15] <xtknight> elyon225: im really not sure
[03:15] <plediii> What font package do I have to install for emacs?
[03:16] <elyon225> well, grr... looks like I'm going to need to format the whole drive again.
[03:16] <xtknight> elyon225: not sure. may be the best thing to do
[03:16] <xtknight> elyon225: somehow grub doesnt see hd0,5
[03:16] <elyon225> xtknight: You have any idea how many times I've reinstalled this stuff??  I've definitely gotten over 10 so far.
[03:16] <xtknight> elyon225: i feel ya.  i installed a raid card and my windows stopped functinoing
[03:16] <Megatog615> * Received a malformed DCC request from FredPhelps.
[03:16] <Megatog615> * Contents of packet: DCC SEND GODHATESWIKIPEDOSGODHATESWIKIPEDOSGODHATESWIKIPEDOSGODHATESWIKIPEDOS
[03:16] <Megatog615> lmao
[03:16] <elyon225> Grub doesn't, but linux does.
[03:17] <plediii> I'm trying to run emacs21, but all I see is a bunch of boxes instead of text.  What font package do I have to install?
[03:17] <xtknight> elyon225: you know what i did?  stopped using windows, lol
[03:17] <jvai> lol
[03:17] <LjL> Megatog615: no need to repeat it please
[03:17] <shifty> can movie player open video wif aac?
[03:17] <Flannel> elyon225: Ooooh.
[03:17] <jimmy20013> I need to compile ndiswrapper on my freshly installed Edgy and I am trying to install the kernel-source using apt-get but instead on installing the 2.6.17 version, it is installing the 2.4.*version. Why is it doing this?
[03:17] <elyon225> xtknight: Well, unfortunately, I've determined that isn't an option since Linux screwed up my mp3 player.
[03:17] <jvai> i kno that's right @xknight
[03:17] <threeonefour> i get this error when trying to print  "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnij_usb failed"   can i get some help please
[03:17] <xtknight> elyon225: i use windows under vmware now.  im so sick of windows otherwise.  the installer is ridiculous and never gives you any freedom.  fixboot damages partitions that have grub on them and relpaces them with fat16
[03:17] <paul__> i am trying to dl american army on my ubuntu and it says "no write permission to usr/local/games"
[03:17] <Megatog615> Ljl: It's funny
[03:17] <tacticalcron> Ljl is back laying down the law..  :-)
[03:17] <elyon225> xtknight: And that thing cost enough that I can't just stop using it :)
[03:17] <crimsun> jimmy20013: because it's linux-source, not kernle-source.
[03:17] <Flannel> elyon225: Go to the grub prompt (that's... um, I forget what, but you get `grub>` prompt, and type "root (hd0," and hit tab
[03:17] <xtknight> they should just stop this dcc stuff at the ircd level imo
[03:18] <LjL> Megatog615: not for the guys who have to clear this mess...
[03:18] <jimmy20013> crismsun: So I install linux-source not kernel-source?
[03:18] <elyon225> Flannel: The command is 'grub' by the way ;)
[03:18] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[03:18] <Flannel> xtknight: But D-C is a perfectly valid irc.. thing.
[03:18] <xtknight> yeah i know
[03:18] <xtknight> stop malformed dcc

[03:19] <Flannel> Just sit tight guys.  It'll be over soon.
[03:19] <shifty> -.-
[03:19] <paul__> i am trying to dl american army on my ubuntu and it says "no write permission to usr/local/games" can anyone help me?
[03:19] <elyon225> hehe... yeah, they don't deserve any rights ;)
[03:19] <xtknight> hahaha
[03:19] <xtknight> it never ceases to amaze me
[03:19] <LjL> !traffic
[03:20] <LjL> Tschaka: no need for that, thanks
 Flannel: That just says "Error 21: Selected device does not exist"
 paul__: allow yourself permission to the directory with chmod
 paul__: allow yourself permission to the directory with chmod
 anyway paul__ try to install with sudo
[03:21] <LjL> NOTICE - messages sent on this channel are being relayed manually, in order to avoid malicious attacks
 elyon225: When you hit tab?
 i cant play movies in totem. It says i need an encoder or something
 Flannel: As soon as I hit tab, yes.
 whats the easiest way to set up a usb mouse?
 Flannel: isnt here some lst file that tells you where the hdds are mapped
 paul__: "sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/games"   (probably the best thing to do to avoid other permissions problems and setting the games directory to 777 cant do that much harm)
[03:24] <Flannel> elyon225: so, it gives you an error as soon as you hit tab for >root (hd0,[tab] ?  That shouldn't happen.
[03:24] <xtknight> that tab-completion should let you see all drives under the hd0 node
 anyone have any experience with old orinoco cards?
 Flannel: Yeah... wouldn't that mean that GRUB doesn't see ANY of my partitions?
[03:24] <kiamo> thanks LjL  :)
[03:25] <elyon225> thanks, LjL
[03:25] <Flannel> elyon225: or, something.  I'm not really sure how grub determines that list.
[03:25] <xtknight> elyon225: if you get an error at that point theres definitely a problem.  but linux boots?  its on hd0 right?
[03:25] <elyon225> Flannel: Would it be helpful to try reinstalling grub completely?
[03:25] <rizzo> do I need hostap-source and/or kismet?
[03:25] <elyon225> xtknight: yeah, I only have one physical drive ... definitely on hd0 lol
 has anyone got a problem with bookmarks in streamtuner ?
 do I need hostap-source and/or kismet?
[03:26] <Flannel> elyon225: I suppose it really couldn't hurt anything, but Im not sure it would help.
[03:26] <xtknight> yellow: not that i recall.  i use streamtuner a lot though.  what is happening?
[03:26] <ardchoille42> Will Dapper ever have Firefox 2.0 ?
[03:26] <Flannel> ardchoille42: no
[03:26] <rizzo> LjL: ?
[03:26] <elyon225> ardchoille42: Nope.
[03:26] <rizzo> Is LjL just a bot that repeats everything?
[03:26] <tacticalcron> It's easy enough to install FF 2.0 on Dapper.
[03:26] <xtknight> rizzo: the channel was having issues, he just had to to avoid malicious attacks
[03:26] <tacticalcron> Just download and decompress the source.
[03:26] <onats> hi, there seems to be no sound from my laptop. how do i test if the drivers are working correctly?
[03:26] <yellow> xtknight, i'm listening to it right now, but every time i add a bookmarks, it's there, but when i restart streamtuner, the bookmarks are gone
[03:26] <LjL> rizzo, no
[03:26] <Flannel> !sound | onats
[03:26] <ubotu> onats: 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 - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:27] <LjL> rizzo, i've just had to behave like one
[03:27] <ardchoille42> if LjL is a bot, it's certainly an intelligent one, lol
[03:27] <rizzo> LjL: so have my questions been getting through, then?
[03:27] <bruenig> must be something going on, with the voice and all
[03:27] <LjL> rizzo, yes
[03:27] <j1p> I have an inland USB optical wireless mouse, I think in the past ubuntu auto detected it, but not this time, whats the easiest way to set it up?
[03:27] <rizzo> I did a synaptic search for "orinoco" and it came back with hostap-source, kismet, kwirelessmonitor and wavemon
[03:27] <kitche> ardchoille42: dapper has firefox 2.0 in !backports
[03:27] <xtknight> yellow: i just added a bookmark and restarted streamtuner.  no issue here, it shows up
[03:27] <elyon225> Flannel: So...where should I go from here, in your opinion?
[03:28] <bruenig> nooo, my voice
[03:28] <tehquickness> Hello, I was installing windows and I delete my the information on my boot partition by accident, how can I fix this?
[03:28] <elyon225> !grub | tehquickness
[03:28] <ubotu> tehquickness: 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
[03:28] <Flannel> elyon225: #grub ;)  Or, maybe the channel is ##grub  I'm really not up on the intricacies
[03:28] <xtknight> yellow: you can try removing your .streamtuner dir
[03:28] <ardchoille42> kitche, It's not in backports for Dapper, I looked.
[03:28] <elyon225> lol look at me suggesting someone follow directions that didn't help me ;)
[03:28] <tehquickness> Thank you. I will read up.
[03:29] <xtknight> yellow: `sudo rm -r .streamtuner`   in terminal in home dir
[03:29] <yellow> uhm what's that for xtknight  ?
[03:29] <yellow> ok
[03:29] <xtknight> yellow: it is a settings directory.  it will clear your personal prefs
[03:29] <xtknight> yellow: there could be a bug in the bookmarks file im thinking clearing it out will help.  binaries for streamtuner are stored in /usr
[03:29] <rizzo> I'm reading that the orinoco driver should already be in the kernel
[03:30] <rizzo> ah yeah lsmod|grep orinoco shows a lot
[03:30] <jimmy20013> I installed the linux-source but the make still says it can't find build files in /lib/modules/2.6.17
[03:30] <jimmy20013> where are the build files then?
[03:31] <yellow> ha` xtknight , that works
[03:31] <yellow> =)

[03:31] <kitche> ardchoille42: guess not but just get the binary from getfirefox.com and extract it and sudo cp firefox(the directory) /usr/lib and you will have an updated firefox :)
[03:32] <onats> how do i know the manufacturer of my sound card?

[03:33] <HymnToLife> !java | spuddogg
[03:33] <ubotu> spuddogg: 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
[03:33] <xtknight> spuddogg: 32-bit or 64-bit firefox?
[03:33] <wastrel> !java
[03:33] <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
[03:33] <wastrel> nein!
[03:33] <elyon225> Flannel: Is it a problem if I installed windows on an extended partition instead of Primary?
[03:33] <xtknight> ja...
[03:33] <threeonefour> hi
[03:33] <jimmy20013> I installed the linux-source but the make still says it can't find build files in /lib/modules/2.6.17.where are the build files then?
[03:33] <xtknight> sun in their infinite wisdom still hasn't released a 64-bit Java.
[03:33] <Flannel> elyon225: I think that might be what's causing it, yes.
[03:33] <spuddogg> xtknight, 32
[03:33] <xtknight> and blackdown crashes for me
[03:34] <xtknight> spuddogg: ok, try the instructions above
[03:34] <elyon225> Flannel: Lol great... but it was still able to boot up a few times before I installed linux...
[03:34] <elyon225> screw Microsoft.
[03:34] <threeonefour> my printer is installed but it wont print anything
[03:34] <coshx> i'm looking for a package for java3d. is there a repository that has it, a good multi-repository package search, or am i just stuck with google?
[03:34] <xtknight> elyon225: you should have said that a year ago :P
[03:34] <elyon225> xtknight: touche ;)
[03:34] <ForgeAus> um having grub problems here any grub guru's around?
[03:34] <Flannel> elyon225: eh?  really?  well, it should be possible with grub.
[03:34] <xtknight> elyon225: i just use windows in vmware when i really need to
[03:34] <HymnToLife> jimmy20013, the linux-source package will just give you a tarball with the source inside, you need to extract it
[03:34] <Flannel> !anyone | ForgeAus
[03:34] <ubotu> ForgeAus: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:35] <HymnToLife> but generally, you don't need the full source, just the headers
[03:35] <ForgeAus> ok well I get error17
[03:35] <jimmygoon> Does anyone know how to lock packages manually seeing as Synaptics is b0rked in that regards
[03:35] <ForgeAus> (no menu no nothing)
[03:35] <spuddogg> HymnToLife, xtknight, thank you!
[03:35] <ForgeAus> I reinstalled it and stuff... just no dice
[03:35] <xtknight> jimmygoon: the only thing that comes close is sudo aptitude lock (or force version something like that).  look at the docs for aptitude ("man aptitude" in terminal)
[03:35] <shifty> hey how do i remove movie player?
[03:35] <onats> lspci | grep audio doesnt provide me with any info
[03:35] <xtknight> jimmygoon: but it doesn't even work properly it seems.  ive never had much luck
[03:35] <bruenig> shifty, sudo apt-get remove totem
[03:35] <ForgeAus> it says loading stage 1.5 then loading the menu but it doesn't actually load it it seems just goes directly to error 17
[03:36] <xtknight> onats: paste what it does provide you
[03:36] <tacticalcron> onats: Try just "lspci"
[03:36] <jimmy20013> HymnToLife: I installed it using apt-get
[03:36] <xtknight> er
[03:36] <xtknight> onats: never mind, post "lspci" to pastebin
[03:36] <onats> ah here.. found an "Audio" line. its intel..
[03:36] <HymnToLife> jimmy20013, so ? the package will still give you only a tarball
[03:36] <jimmy20013> HymnToLife: oh
[03:36] <ForgeAus> I'm booting up off of the live CD and it doesn't seem to matter what I do with menu.list constantly I get error 17...
[03:36] <xtknight> onats: Intel HD Audio?
[03:36] <HymnToLife> install the !headers first and see if your compilation works
[03:36] <jimmygoon> xtknight: hmm I had done it before I reloaded... lemme go a lookin
[03:36] <tacticalcron> Likely 82801
[03:36] <Flannel> ForgeAus: you're mixing SCSI and IDE?
[03:37] <ForgeAus> Flannel that didn't make a difference before
[03:37] <jimmy20013> HymnToLife: So how do I extract it?
[03:37] <onats> xtknight, yes its Intel HD Audio
[03:37] <ForgeAus> but kinda... I'm mixing sata and ide
[03:37] <ardchoille42> kitche, Ah, yeah. Thank you :)
[03:37] <gabriela> hello
[03:37] <ForgeAus> (which I think amounts to the same thing)
[03:37] <gabriela> need some help
[03:37] <bronze_0_1> %ask: Dont ask to ask, dont ask "can someone help me", Just ask your question. someone will chime in if they can help
[03:37] <ForgeAus> I got ide CD's and sata HDD's
[03:37] <gabriela> no image in my screen
[03:37] <bruenig> !hi | gabriela
[03:37] <ubotu> gabriela: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:37] <Flannel> ForgeAus: menu.lst only happens once it finds /boot.  basically, your computer finds your MBR, boots to it (first stage of grub) then the first stage boots to the second stage, which is /boot.  you're in between the first two, grubs first stage can't find the second stage
[03:37] <jvai> snap, what if i put hoary on an old box? will it have security holes?
[03:37] <HymnToLife> jimmy20013, you probably won't need to
[03:38] <gabriela> hi 4bruenig
[03:38] <HymnToLife> what are you trying to compile and what error do you get ?
[03:38] <threeonefour> my printer is installed but it wont print anything i get this error "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnij_usb failed"
[03:38] <gabriela> houbotu
[03:38] <Flannel> ForgeAus: oh, no no.  This would just be mixing HDDs, CDroms don't count, since you're not booting to them.
[03:38] <ForgeAus> ok falnnel sounds logical.. but that doesn't seem to help me fix it
[03:38] <jimmy20013> HymnToLife: I thought you said I need to extract it. This is what I did sudo apt-get install linux-source
[03:38] <gabriela> i can not see anything in my screen
[03:38] <ForgeAus> well I'm on a LIVE CD now! rofl
[03:38] <jimmy20013> HymnToLife: And it downloaded the package and all. where do I go from here?
[03:39] <gabriela> the cpu is turned on but no image
[03:39] <ForgeAus> its the only boot thats working right now!
[03:39] <bruenig> gabriela, press that button on the monitor
[03:39] <ForgeAus> I can mount the drive manually (by using sudo mount) so I don't get why grub can't mount it
[03:39] <gabriela> what button?
[03:39] <Quintin> Doing a new ubuntu install on my main machine soon.. how big should / be ?
[03:39] <bruenig> gabriela, the big on in the middle that turns it on
[03:39] <bruenig> one*
[03:39] <Flannel> ForgeAus: you have one or two HDDs?  And, is the MBR on the same as /boot?  is /boot on LVM?
[03:39] <ForgeAus> I went through doing the find /boot/grub/stage1 thingy and setting it back up
[03:39] <gabriela> is turn it on
[03:39] <jimmy20013> Quintin: Atleast 2 GB
[03:39] <ForgeAus> two HDD's
[03:39] <onats> how can i test the sound using command line?
[03:39] <Quintin> jimmy20013: well duh :)
[03:40] <ForgeAus> mbr on same HDD or same partition?
[03:40] <xtknight> onats: aplay /path/to/wav/file
[03:40] <Quintin> but I want to add stuff too .. I was thinking 10 ?  Is that enough ?
[03:40] <Flannel> ForgeAus: same HD
[03:40] <ForgeAus> no LVM's here that I'm aware of
[03:40] <HymnToLife> jimmy20013, as I told you, you probably won't need the full kernel source
[03:40] <Flannel> ForgeAus: MBR isn't a partition
[03:40] <HymnToLife> just the !headers
[03:40] <ForgeAus> ok same HDD different part (I think)
[03:40] <gabriela> it start the sesion the ubuntu image and then black screen and powersaving led turn on
[03:40] <Quintin> I'm going to have SLED10, macosx, winxp pro, and ubuntu on one HDD.. trying to figure out how to slice it.
[03:40] <Flannel> ForgeAus: Where is /boot?  and is it marked bootable?
[03:40] <ForgeAus> unless my other drive also has an MBR
[03:40] <gabriela> bruenig
[03:40] <jimmy20013> HymnToLife: So how do I make the MAKE utility to work. It says that it can't find the build files
[03:40] <Pirate-king> hello
[03:40] <gabriela> estas ahi
[03:40] <Flannel> ForgeAus: well, it technically could.  Make sure (in your BIOS) you're booting to the correct
[03:40] <Flannel> !b-e | jimmy20013
[03:41] <ubotu> jimmy20013: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:41] <ForgeAus> um /boot/grub is on (hd1,1) according to linux
[03:41] <HymnToLife> jimmy20013, please pastebin the error you get
[03:41] <Pirate-king> can someone direct me on how to get  QuickCam for Notebooks  to work
[03:41] <HymnToLife> and tell me what you are trying to build
[03:41] <Flannel> ForgeAus: /boot/grub? or just /boot?
[03:41] <ForgeAus> Flannel that could be a problem because both drives are exactly the same name to the bios
[03:41] <ashayh> hi All. How to get wireless working on a laptop with ipw3945 ? It does not show up with NetworkManager . I dont' have wired internet
[03:41] <ForgeAus> so I can't tell which is which!
[03:41] <ForgeAus> both
[03:41] <ForgeAus> (its also on the LiveCD but I don't think you mean that instance)
[03:41] <gabriela> my screen is black
[03:42] <ForgeAus> sdb2 is the partition it resides on I can mount it manually
[03:42] <Flannel> ForgeAus: try swapping them in the BIOS.  you might acccidentally be booting to the other one (and somehow they both have grub installed, pointing to different /boot dirs, one non-existent)
[03:42] <gabriela> how can i do to see the image
[03:42] <onats> can i just CAT a file to the sound device?
[03:42] <gabriela> i just tried to do the 3d aceleration to work
[03:42] <bulmer> ashayh: does your laptop have an on/off switch just for that wifi ?
[03:42] <ForgeAus> Flannel ok but before I do that lets assume thats not the case (because I really don't think it is)
[03:42] <coshx> onats: you can if it's raw pcm data, iirc
[03:42] <ForgeAus> (I havn't changed the bios since it was working)
[03:42] <Wipster> hey all what are the recomended partitions and sizes for a ubuntu intallation / /home? any idea?
[03:42] <Flannel> ForgeAus: if this doesn't work, we're just going to go ahead and reinstall grub, see if that fixes it.  Reember that /boot is sdb2, which would be hd0,1 as far as grub is concerned
[03:43] <Flannel> !grub | ForgeAus, first link
[03:43] <ubotu> ForgeAus, first link: 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
[03:43] <kiamo> everytime i set the ati thing to big desktop it and then restart X it returns to clone desktop. ideas?
[03:43] <ashayh> Yes bulmer it does. I tried booting with it off. didnt help
[03:43] <ForgeAus> yup I went throught that webpage
[03:43] <ForgeAus> did that still got error17
[03:43] <ardchoille42> Wipster, I've always let the partitioner do that and it only creates / and swap
[03:43] <bulmer> ashayh: turn it on, and then see if dmesg tells you it detected it
[03:43] <threeonefour> now i get a new error when i try to print "Unable to open USB port device file: No such file or directory"
[03:43] <Flannel> ForgeAus: what FS type is /boot?
[03:43] <ForgeAus> thats the one where you run grub and use the setup (hd1,1) command
[03:43] <ForgeAus> ext3
[03:43] <gabriela> my sesion starts and i can see the ububtu image but when the login screen i cant see nothing
[03:43] <Wipster> ardchoille42, only / and swap you say....
[03:44] <elyon225> Ah.. Perhaps this is the problem.  I have Windows installed to the same LOGICAL partition that I have my /home partition on.
[03:44] <Wipster> hmmmm
[03:44] <ardchoille42> Wipster, yes
[03:44] <ForgeAus> the boot partition /sdb2 used to be /sdb3
[03:44] <ardchoille42> Wipster, But you can create /home and /boot I suppose
[03:44] <ForgeAus> I did something to the partition table that switched it... but it still reads fine... it just messed up my grub
[03:44] <gabriela> i know that is turned on because i enter my username and password and starts ubuntu sesion but noimage
[03:44] <bulmer> gabreila go to a console, ctrl+f1 to get there
[03:44] <gabriela> i can not see console
[03:44] <ForgeAus> so I changed everything in menu.lst... but nothing there seems to make a difference
[03:44] <bulmer> gabriela did you do a ctrl+f1 ?
[03:44] <oFF-beAt> is there a help help guide for installin M$ fingerprint reader on ubuntu edgy ?
[03:45] <Naik0> Where should i put my codecs i downloaded?
[03:45] <bulmer> gabriela maybe even control+alt+f1
[03:45] <Derek> hey people, question, i still cannot figure out how to open up gparted, help
[03:45] <Naik0> essential
[03:45] <ForgeAus> so first thing to try is switching my bios... if that doesn't work reinstall grub, if that doesn't work what then?
[03:45] <Flannel> ForgeAus: well, I'm out of ideas.  No, menu.lst isn't doing anything, since grub isn't that far yet.  grub stage1 is still trying to find /boot
[03:45] <gabriela> yes but i can see anything
[03:45] <oljanx> thanks again :)
[03:45] <ardchoille42> Derek, gksudo gparted
[03:45] <gabriela> ok im there
[03:45] <bulmer> gabriela: you can seen anything?
[03:45] <gabriela> thanks blumer
[03:46] <kiamo> whats the cmd for configuring my xorg ?
[03:46] <gabriela> yeap login
[03:46] <ashayh> bulmer  The new line added to dmesg was : usb 3-2 new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and addreess 3
[03:46] <ardchoille42> kiamo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:46] <ForgeAus> ok well I guess I could try the bios thing, other than that I'm screwed?
[03:46] <bulmer> gabriela: then log on, and edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to suit your resolution needs
[03:46] <kiamo> thanks :)
[03:46] <gabriela> yeap i can see the console
[03:46] <Pirate-king> can someone direct me on how to get  QuickCam for Notebooks  to work
[03:46] <whonicca> will liquor take care of a fever
[03:46] <bulmer> ashayh: there you go it is detected
[03:47] <ForgeAus> because I don't see how redoing the reinstall grub thing is going to be any different a second time
[03:47] <ForgeAus> unless I made a mistake the first one
[03:47] <gabriela> and what can i do ther
[03:47] <gabriela> blumer
[03:47] <Derek> ardchoille42: i do that, and it asks for pass, i give it pass, then its says starting up administrative task in the taskbar, then it just goes away...like magic
[03:47] <ForgeAus> ok cyas later (proly from the live CD again I guess)
[03:47] <bulmer> gabriela: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to suit your resolution needs
[03:47] <happydog> anybody use ThinkPad X60s ?
[03:47] <ashayh> bulmer but now what? I dont see it in networkmanager or the Networking settings...
[03:47] <ardchoille42> Derek, No error output in the terminal?
[03:48] <Derek> nope
[03:48] <bulmer> ashayh check your /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf
[03:48] <gabriela> command not found
[03:48] <SilentDis> 'lo :)
[03:48] <Brady_M> Hello, any other system builders in here?
[03:48] <bulmer> gabriela: which command you typed?
[03:49] <Quintin> Can GRUB load an OS that is not on a primary partition?
[03:49] <happydog> who can help me,there is a problem on my laptop ThinkPad X60s
[03:49] <ardchoille42> Derek, Does 'ps aux | grep gparted' show anything besides the grep command?
[03:49] <SilentDis> Brady_M, system builder:  as in someone who builds their own 'puter, or something else?
[03:49] <ashayh> bulmer I have 3 dirs there: all default and lo
[03:49] <gabriela> sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:49] <SilentDis> !ask | happydog
[03:49] <ubotu> happydog: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:49] <bulmer> gabriela  sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:50] <gabriela> ok
[03:50] <Derek> ardchoille: it gave me this : 'dirka    11657  0.0  0.1   2796   756 pts/0    S+   18:49   0:00 grep gparted
[03:50] <bulmer> ashayh then your usb wifi card is not detected correctly
[03:50] <happydog> ubotu thank you
[03:50] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[03:50] <ardchoille42> Derek, Yeah, that's showing the grep gparted command you just ran.
[03:50] <gabriela> i got something
[03:50] <onats> i want to be able to access my shared folders in a windows computer.. how do i do that?
[03:50] <happydog> I have a X60s,and when i finished install,there is no sound
[03:50] <SilentDis> !samba | onats
[03:50] <ubotu> onats: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:50] <crimsun> happydog: you need alsa-driver 1.0.13 or 1.0.14rc2
[03:51] <Derek> ardchoille: well, what should i do?
[03:51] <bulmer> gabriela you need to prefix your message with my nick if its for me , otherwise I will miss it
[03:51] <bullium> has anyone gotten compiz and xgl to run on a dell latitude c610?
[03:51] <happydog> crimsun i think no
[03:51] <Brady_M> I own a computer store. I sell my own brand PC's I just had sat in a meeting with MS today. And really pissed off. I am thinking this year about making PC's for customers with just Ubuntu so I can friken compete with the big guys. So looking for other people possibly in my field that might know what they are planning on doing.
[03:51] <happydog> cause ubuntu detected my sound card
[03:51] <SilentDis> bullium, what vid card?
[03:52] <crimsun> happydog: it's not _detection_ that's the issue; it's the pin routing in the driver itself. It's fixed in 1.0.14rc2.
[03:52] <Leumas> hi
[03:52] <gabriela> the last line says /etc/X11/xorg.conf" 180 lines, 4824 characteres
[03:52] <ardchoille42> Derek, Try: gksudo $(which gparted)
[03:52] <jvai> brady_M i'd luv to do what u r doin... in dc
[03:52] <Leumas> does anybody have experience with ltsp?
[03:52] <gabriela> dont know how to do that to prefix your name
[03:52] <bullium> hold on a sec I'll let you know
[03:52] <happydog> really?
[03:52] <threeonefour> leumas, i do
[03:53] <Joe88> Can someone help me with wireless? I followed this tutorial to get it working (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102) And now my wireless light is on... but It still dosent seem to be connecting to the internet?
[03:53] <happydog> i've tried so many distributions,but i failed
[03:53] <SilentDis> Brady_M, I do custom builds all the time, and do recommend ubuntu myself.  I offer a windows option, and only offer retail box options for purchasing it legally.  if someone asks me to fix their 'puter, I offer to put ubuntu on it, or they have to give me a valid windows CD/CD key with it.  period.  i don't own a shop, but I do what I can to push ubuntu that way:  keep it legal or go open source, period. :)
[03:53] <exspecto> i'm running edgy on an acer travelmate (2423).  i use gnome and i set up the power manager to Ask Me when i hit the power button, and it used to work.  now when i hit the power button it just automatically shuts down immediately after displaying the choices.  i have double and triple checked that it's still set to "ask me" when i hit the power button, and have even tried reinstalling the gnome-power-manager and reconfiguri
[03:53] <exspecto> ng it with dpkg - to no avail.  any suggestions?
[03:53] <gabriela> 4blumer
[03:53] <gabriela> are you there

[03:54] <gabriela> you are the onlyone that is helping me bulmer plase tel me what can i do?
[03:54] <Brady_M> Well, MS has made it sound like to me I can only sell systems with Vista with all windows Certified hardware. Deal with that is I use generic brands now just to keep my price near to people like Dell etc. But If I use Win certified board etc. My price point on a PC will be friekn in the $1,300. range !!! I can't do that!

(seemed like the question moved up pretty fast not sure if anyone seen it)
[03:55] <llindy> timephoenix, you should already find gaim in synaptic
[03:55] <exspecto> kisme: probably need their particular driver and/or software too
[03:55] <gabriela> im a rookie on that
[03:55] <Leumas> the client can't load the kernel
[03:56] <gabriela> do you have msn
[03:56] <crimsun> happydog: in and out. I'm at work.
[03:56] <threeonefour> Leumas, ok what is your problem
[03:56] <Derek> ardchoille: uh oh, what do i have to do to install it?
[03:56] <Leumas> only load the file pxelinux.0
[03:56] <gabriela> bulmer
[03:56] <ardchoille42> Derek, sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:56] <gabriela> msn??
[03:56] <ForgeAus> back again
[03:56] <Brady_M> So, I just watched a video of one of the folks there at ubuntu and know Beryl and GLX are in the next release
[03:56] <ForgeAus> no difference either way
[03:56] <ForgeAus> (assuming I was able to change the HDD)
[03:56] <Brady_M> and I am thinkings
[03:56] <kismet> Expecto where can I find driver for the LG VX8300 of Ubuntu?
[03:56] <ForgeAus> like I said they're both the same can't tell them apart
[03:56] <bulmer> gabriela: what kind of monitor do you have? and what the resolution for it?
[03:56] <timephoenix> @llindy: I was trying to install the latest beta which fixes some bugs in the latest stable (1.5)
[03:56] <Leumas> threeonefour, the client only load the file pxelinux.0
[03:56] <Leumas> but can't load the kernel
[03:56] <ardchoille42> Derek, After you install it, there should be a menu item for it in System -> Administration "Gnome Partition Editor"
[03:57] <ForgeAus> which means either A after 3 attempts at selecting different options on the order between them
[03:57] <llindy> yacc, I have the beta, been having probs too
[03:57] <threeonefour> Leumas, really
[03:57] <gabriela> is  crt sony and oldone
[03:57] <ashayh> bulmer: thats odd .. dmesg clearly says "ipw3945 detected Network Connection" ... Anyway .. thank you for your time and help
[03:57] <Leumas> it's say: Could not find kernel image: linux
[03:57] <Leumas> boot:
[03:57] <happydog> crimsun: i'm sorry,but i need you help
[03:57] <ForgeAus> either A) they both have a mbr or B) ones defaulting to the other or C) something else very strange is going on
[03:57] <gabriela> 1230-760 something like that
[03:57] <ForgeAus> (one is NTFS)
[03:57] <Leumas> and nothing more happens
[03:57] <exspecto> that a samsung kismet?
[03:57] <threeonefour> Leumas, what version of ubuntu are you using
[03:57] <gabriela> y can put a very low res but dont know how
[03:57] <ForgeAus> other is a multi-partition drive
[03:57] <Leumas> well
[03:57] <Derek> ardchoille42: Yay!! thanks, now, just to make a partition for dual boot!
[03:57] <kitche> Brady_M: glx is in every linux distro already it's part of xorg unless you mean xgl
[03:57] <Brady_M> Well, deal is people asked in this meeting if they were going to help us little computer store guys with promotions, they are not planning untill AFTER 6 months with program matereils to draw people in to buy. To me, the small guy! that's to friken late. So I am thinking of nixing them and offering completes just with Ubuntu.
[03:57] <Leumas> i'm using Debian etch..
[03:57] <bulmer> gabriela: hang on, let me compare my xorg.conf to yours..
[03:57] <ardchoille42> Derek, Woot! :)
[03:58] <happydog> without sound,i can't do anythings,such as listen to the music,watch movie....
[03:58] <gabriela> ok
[03:58] <gabriela> i will wait
[03:58] <Leumas> threeonefour, Debian etch
[03:58] <kismet> No its a Verizon VX8300 Vcast mp3
[03:58] <Brady_M> right
[03:58] <jvai> lemas, hows etch?
[03:58] <Brady_M> sorry, getting angry just thinking about it.

[03:58] <edman007> Leumas did you do all the nessecary stuff in your dhcpcd.conf to give the client the servers (like the tftp server for the kernel)
[03:58] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, how do I install a package manually?  I have the .deb on my desktop.
[03:59] <tacticalcron> bulmer, can I see her xorg.conf?
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> |Jason8|: double click
[03:59] <threeonefour> Leumas, there will be people there that can help you
[03:59] <|Jason8|> That's it?  Awesome.
[03:59] <Leumas> threeonefour, ok, than you
[03:59] <ardchoille42> |Jason8|, Are you sure that app isn't in the repos?
[03:59] <Leumas> edman007, yeah
[03:59] <kismet> Expecto instnat message?
[03:59] <SilentDis> Brady_M, I firmly believe that linux has finally come to a point of 'usable' for the normal person.  yes, there are some rough edges (synaptic, drivers, etc) but if you're custom building the machines and setting them up fully, you could probably throw in 6mo service for a VERY small fee and people would be OVERJOYED at the lower cost on their machine, and all the good that comes with a true linux OS :)
[03:59] <timephoenix> @Brady_M: It is my opinion that Vista is so overpriced that many will think twice. I've had some success shifting Ubuntu boxes with XGL & Wine.
[03:59] <Leumas> jvai, it's really good, but.. still don't tottaly
[03:59] <|Jason8|> ardchoille42, yeah.  I checked.

[04:02] <ardchoille42> tonyyarusso, Yeah, I mean rather than as root. It doesn't prompt me for the admin pass at all.
[04:02] <exspecto> anyone have problems with the gnome-power-manager not doing what you tell it to do?  :)
[04:02] <Leumas> threeonefour, i don't know
[04:02] <tonyyarusso> ardchoille42: I'd say that's not normal then.  But, I don't often use it, so that's pretty fuzzy memory.

[04:02] <ardchoille42> tonyyarusso, Thank you, I'll look into it.

[04:03] <gabriela> dont see that lines
[04:03] <ardchoille42> sjust1216, That is normal and it should ask for the admin pass. You can stop the screen dimming with: gksudo -g command
[04:03] <threeonefour> Leumas, what i mean is once you get the clients booted you might have problems with java and flash. i have only booted 84 clients successfully with edubuntu and i ran into those problems
[04:04] <gabriela> hold on
[04:04] <sjust1216> but it never gets to the point of asking for the password

[04:09] <threeonefour> Leumas, yes i know   but when you upgrade to the newest ltsp 5 it will give you a new kernal or should at least
[04:09] <gabriela> the old res was 1024x768
[04:09] <gabriela> ok thanks
[04:09] <gabriela> any way
[04:09] <onats> exspecto, well what happens is that it actually shuts down the computer, i think it already stores the info on the swap. however, upon reloading, its still very buggy in that the login screen/opening screen gets distorted

[04:09] <bulmer> no problem

[04:23] <alex_mayorga> anyone with functional bluetooth that can help me out?
[04:23] <riotkittie> gop: yea, you know how to do it right? enable the repos, that is?  oh, and as for the xchat, different how? you may be using xchat-gnome over xchat, or vise versa
[04:23] <Meheren> edman007, don't... i would reccomend sleeping on it... or going and doing something
[04:23] <Meheren> edman007, that's what i always do :p
[04:23] <jimmygoon> kitche: its not working
[04:23] <edman007> to early to sleep, and i don't "go out"
[04:23] <exspecto> i haven't had to compile a kernel in ages
[04:23] <kismet> Synaptic /vx8300?
[04:24] <exspecto> doesn't ubuntu have most modules already compiled?
[04:24] <gop> riotkittie:  like  I don't even see user list the UI is different
[04:24] <Imsdle> is there a command that will take me through the startup process again from the files available on the hard disk?
[04:24] <Meheren> expecto,
[04:24] <Meheren> yes
[04:24] <riotkittie> Imsdle: i hope someone who can help you speaks up soon. have you tried posting at, or searching the forums, righ?
[04:24] <gop> riotkittie:  how do I enable the repos I forget
[04:24] <Meheren> expecto, they have almost all the kernels... and edgy has a generic one
[04:24] <gop> On the right side
[04:24] <Imsdle> i have searched all the forums.. and google... even resorted to yahoo... ok ok ok iknow. i was despriate ok
[04:24] <gop> I don't see user list
[04:24] <exspecto> imsdle: i'd reinstall from scratch personally
[04:25] <distro-tester> any one tryied to use skype for xp whit wine
[04:25] <distro-tester> ?
[04:25] <exspecto> i doubt it would work distro
[04:25] <gop> and riotkittie none of my windows partions mounted
[04:25] <gop> like they did in
[04:25] <gop> before
[04:25] <Imsdle> i don't mind reinstalling it.. but can i reinstall it from command prompt thingy? i have downloaded all the updates.. don't really want to have to do it all again if i can help it
[04:25] <Derek> exspecto: qtparted is booted, but it said "no devices found, maybe your not the root user"
[04:25] <jimmy20013> What can I use to extract drivers from an exe file?
[04:26] <archangelpetro> is there any actual benefit to using 64bit ubuntu over 32bit?  Since as far as i've experienced 64bit support is ... well frustrating
[04:26] <exspecto> derek: close it.  then do alt+f2 again and type "gksu qtparted"
[04:26] <naphelge> hey gang i got an old laptop P2 with 64 megs ram... any chance ubuntu would run on that or if not any ideas what distro might other than LFS?
[04:26] <exspecto> without the quotes
[04:26] <Imsdle> reinstalling with ubuntu usually means reformating.. isn't there another way
[04:26] <frogzoo> archangelpetro: for the desktop, 32bit is the way to go
[04:26] <BrendanM> Naphelge, you might try Xubuntu
[04:26] <riotkittie> gop: ok, if there's no user list, its xchat-gnome.    xchat is multi or uni, i think. as for enabling those, in a term, sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list  /etc/apt/sources.list.bak  and then open the /etc/apt/sources.list in the text editor of your choice
[04:26] <exspecto> archangel: i've had many random lockups with 64bit, usually due to "cool n' quiet" in the bios
[04:26] <chizang> i'm having problems doing an apt-get dist-upgrade to edgy, lighttpd is giving me problems: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3053/
[04:26] <BrendanM> there's also something called UbuntuLite I think, but it's not officially supported
[04:27] <Meheren> naphelge, damn small linux
[04:27] <archangelpetro> frogzoo, yea im thinking that's probably the best idea.. since im on 64bit atm.. and i dont really see any benefits over 32bit
[04:27] <gop> riotkittie:  oh so this is not the orginal xchat
[04:27] <BrendanM> that's another good one
[04:27] <BrendanM> PuppyLinux is very small as well, and I like it pretty well
[04:27] <Meheren> naphelge, for sure... you might be able to squeeze a ubuntu on it but it would be slow
[04:27] <exspecto> 32bit runs great on 64bit chips
[04:27] <jimmygoon> I found it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1997962&postcount=6
[04:27] <naphelge> kk thanx brendanM... any ideas what WM i could use with just 64 megs ram? i am true blue gnome user but i know there is no chance of that
[04:27] <archangelpetro> yea
[04:27] <archangelpetro> well
[04:27] <archangelpetro> i suppose i should reformat.
[04:27] <exspecto> and you'll have flash...if you like it
[04:27] <jimmy20013> What can I use to extract drivers from an exe file?
[04:27] <riotkittie> gop: and uncomment the lines thatt say multi and universe. or from synaptic, but i'm not sure which menu repos are on
[04:27] <BrendanM> I'm running Xubuntu which uses Xfce
[04:28] <BrendanM> I have P3 with 128 MB
[04:28] <naphelge> how much mem does xfce use?
[04:28] <exspecto> jimmy: if it's really just a self-extracting zip file, use unzip
[04:28] <naphelge> ah okies
[04:28] <BrendanM> it runs really well, unless I open big software
[04:28] <riotkittie> naphelge: try fluxbox? openbox? windowmaker?
[04:28] <exspecto> fluxbox kicks much arse
[04:28] <archangelpetro> exspecto, if i just copy the contents of my home folder somewhere else, and then reinstall as 32bit dapper  (I had crash problems with edgy (but that again was 64bit)) and then copy my home contents back, everything should be ok right?
[04:28] <BrendanM> People rave about fluxbox, but it's just too minimalist for me
[04:28] <exspecto> and Enlightenment
[04:28] <naphelge> kk i'm not gonna use it to run web dev tools or anything just basic network test laptop maybe firewall
[04:29] <tonyyarusso> Enlightenment 17 is looking pretty good so far, btw
[04:29] <riotkittie> BrendanM: with 64mb of ram, minimalist is the way to go :P
[04:29] <naphelge> but would like a WM if i can
[04:29] <gop> riotkittie:  let me see
[04:29] <exspecto> archangel: just back up what you need.  the config directories (the ones that start with a period) may not be compatible
[04:29] <Derek> exspecto: ok, booted correctly, now what?
[04:29] <BrendanM> If you want something that looks like a real desktop, give Xfce a try. If it doesn't matter that much to you, fluxbox would be even lighter
[04:29] <exspecto> derek: dunno.  i was just helping you find a program for partitioning.
[04:29] <riotkittie> i keep meaning to give e17 a spin
[04:29] <blueskiesmn> could anyone help me try to figure out why I have sound but no video in 6.06?
[04:29] <Derek> exspecto: lol
[04:29] <exspecto> :)
[04:29] <naphelge> kk kewls can u run any gnome app on either of those?
[04:29] <tonyyarusso> riotkittie: Talk to me or nalioth if you do
[04:29] <exspecto> yes
[04:30] <exspecto> you can run gnome, kde, etc. apps
[04:30] <exspecto> as long as you have their libraries installed
[04:30] <gop> riotkittie:  I uncommented this
[04:30] <naphelge> sounds crazy but never used anything but gnome... well tried kde once but...
[04:30] <gop>  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted univer$
[04:30] <gop>  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted un$
[04:30] <archangelpetro> and edgy has fewer problems now?
[04:30] <BrendanM> So I'm trying to free up some hard drive space, I've already run apt-get clean, is there anything else I can do? I was thinking about shrinking my swap partition. I noticed it hardly ever gets used
[04:30] <Derek> Anyone, anyone, i need to make a partition w/o data loss
[04:30] <exspecto> i don't like the new gnome very much, but the gnome NetworkManager (wireless) works better than knetworkmanager
[04:30] <archangelpetro> is edgy stable now? (since last time i tried it, i had a lot of crashes )
[04:30] <TheHermit> hi ....Why beryl slowing dowen the system while opening som eapps
[04:31] <TheHermit> apps*
[04:31] <exspecto> and also the gnome power management had more options than kde (like the ability to lock the screen when you close the lid)
[04:31] <BrendanM> Ugh, I want NetworkManager so much, but it doesn't work with Rt61 wifi drivers
[04:31] <exspecto> brendan: try ndiswrapper?
[04:31] <exspecto> i use it and it works fine
[04:32] <BrendanM> I looked at that, but I'm hesitant to start in on it, because my wireless card works fine right now
[04:32] <exspecto> derek: google on "resize partition qtparted"
[04:32] <exspecto> so, it's a matter of removing one module and inserting another
[04:32] <exspecto> rmmod rtblahblahwhater; modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:32] <archangelpetro> exspecto, edgy or dapper?
[04:32] <gop> riotkittie:  do I need to do any thing special in eddgy to get mp3 and dvd support
[04:32] <exspecto> edgy
[04:32] <archangelpetro> ok
[04:33] <exspecto> gop: yes.  try easyubuntu or automatix2
[04:33] <exspecto> google them to find the pages
[04:33] <BrendanM> eh, there's supposed to be a new set of FOSS drivers coming out for Rt61 cards, so I'll just hold out for those
[04:33] <riotkittie> NO. do not venture near automatix.
[04:33] <BrendanM> so how much swap partition do I really need?
[04:33] <TheHermit>  why azureus telling me there is no parser on the system and i cant run the speedscadular on it so any idea ....???!!
[04:33] <exspecto> i said automatix2 :)
[04:33] <kitche> gop: don't bother with either one just install lame for mp3 support and libdvdcss for dvd support
[04:33] <exspecto> hehe
[04:33] <adamonline45> cli is harder than I thought... hehheh
[04:33] <kitche> exspecto: same thing
[04:33] <riotkittie> oh. i missed the 2. is 2 better than 1?
[04:33] <gop> kitche:  how
[04:34] <gop> apt-get install lame
[04:34] <exspecto> i dunno, i was being smarmy
[04:34] <kitche> !lame|gop
[04:34] <ubotu> lame: LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.96.1-2 (edgy), package size 260 kB, installed size 696 kB
[04:34] <kitche> !dvd|gop
[04:34] <ubotu> gop: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:34] <adamonline45> Does anyone know why 'apt-get install thttpd' doesn't work?  I added the universe repository...
[04:34] <BrendanM> For the record, I HATE recursive acronyms. People need to stop using them
[04:34] <naphelge> this is an old laptop i used to own & like a boomerang it seemed to make it's way back to me.... anyhew i am sure i ran RH9 (mebe 7 or 8 can't quite remember) on it with nps... how much extra horse power does anyone think is required to run xubuntu than what it took to run RH9?
[04:35] <exspecto> adam: sudo apt-get update
[04:35] <exspecto> then try it again
[04:35] <BrendanM> I'm convinced part of the reason people don't adopt open-source software is because of the retarded names given to it
[04:35] <exspecto> haha
[04:35] <exspecto> yeah, but at least there's a sense of humor
[04:35] <Eldrani> I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu.
[04:35] <adamonline45> exspecto: Cool. looks promising, thanks! =D
[04:35] <BrendanM> who wants to run something called The GIMP?
[04:35] <riotkittie> gop: you may need to poke around in sources again, looks like you just enabled the backport repos.
[04:36] <riotkittie> from what i saw above, at least.
[04:36] <exspecto> i love the gimp! (puts ball gag in mouth)
[04:36] <kitche> BrendanM: it's name is not Gimp though it's just the shorten version of it
[04:36] <Eldrani> I can get the live CD up and going, and start the installer on the desktop, but it resets to computer on the partition step! Please help!
[04:36] <BrendanM> yes, yes, and the long form is even more unweildy
[04:36] <exspecto> gnu image manipulation program
[04:36] <sjust1216> (synaptic:16335): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_view_unref_tree_helper: assertion `node != NULL' failed
[04:36] <exspecto> but i think they come up with the acronym first, then figure out the words after
[04:37] <exspecto> that's how i'd do it
[04:37] <sjust1216> has anyone seen this before
[04:37] <Eldrani> Can anyone help?
[04:37] <BrendanM> People wouldn't like "WORD" if it stood for "Word's an Open wRiting Daemon" or something idiotic like that
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> !offtopic
[04:37] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:37] <exspecto> yeah, because it's not Open
[04:37] <exspecto> hehe
[04:37] <riotkittie> names dont phase me. i care about functionality.
[04:38] <exspecto> bitchx is the only one that bugs me
[04:38] <Eldrani> My installer resets the computer when it trys to partition, is there a way to skip the step or something?
[04:38] <BrendanM> Can anyone tell me how big of a swap partition I actually need?
[04:38] <riotkittie> yeah, bitchx is an exception to that ruse
[04:38] <riotkittie> errr rule
[04:38] <BrendanM> It never gets used
[04:38] <riotkittie> BrendanM: how much ram do you have - 128 ?
[04:38] <mathieu> how do i switch my keyboard to spanish outside of gnome ?
[04:38] <ardchoille42> BrendanM, I feel that anything more than 2Gb is a waste of space.
[04:39] <BrendanM> yeah, but I'm upgrading to 380 as soon as it arrives
[04:39] <BrendanM> Um, right now I've got 360 MB of swap, and I want to shrink it
[04:39] <wastrel> bye
[04:39] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, ?
[04:40] <Eldrani> I need help.
[04:40] <riotkittie> mathieu: uhm, i can tell you how to do it temporarily. from the CLI > sudo loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/ AND press tab for more options
[04:40] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, I can try to help
[04:40] <BrendanM> I've only got 6 GB of HDD to play with, and I'd rather not devote any more than I have to to swap
[04:40] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, what kind of computer
[04:40] <Eldrani> My installer keeps restart my computer suring the installation.
[04:40] <exspecto> brendan: so turn that swap partition off
[04:40] <fong> :( hibernate's not working
[04:40] <Eldrani> I use a Win 98.
[04:40] <exspecto> then delete it and create a new one of the size you want, format it, and turn it on
[04:40] <Eldrani> I only have 256 RAM, though.
[04:40] <PORDO> i just got a wi-fi sip phone and it's awesome.
[04:40] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, Are you using the desktop cd to install or the alternate cd?
[04:40] <BrendanM> cool
[04:40] <Eldrani> I load up Ubuntu in safe graphics mode, try to do the installer, and get to the partition step
[04:40] <Eldrani> I'm using the dekstop CD
[04:40] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, what version of ubuntu are you trying to install?
[04:41] <PORDO> i can take incoming calls free, and make outgoing calls for like 1 per minute at any caf in Seattle.  yay.
[04:41] <Eldrani> 6.06 LTS
[04:41] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, I always had probs with the desktop installer. But I have no probs with the alternate cd installer
[04:41] <riotkittie> oooh oooh wait.
[04:41] <mathieu> riotkittie: i don't see anything spanish loking there
[04:41] <Eldrani> Do I have to install that one and use it?
[04:41] <pbureau> PORDO- so how much that cost you a month
[04:42] <tom47> have there been issues with the latest round of updtes?  eg the ones incl gnome-applets?
[04:42] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, You might want to download the alternate cd for Dapper and install from that, it's faster and has less problems
[04:42] <Eldrani> Because I've already attempted to burn Ubuntu onto 5 disks, I don't wanna go through that again.
[04:42] <exspecto> well, maybe someone can help me next time
[04:42] <exspecto> night all
[04:42] <tom47> Eldrani are you checking the cd's???
[04:42] <Eldrani> yes
[04:42] <riotkittie> mathieu: what kind of spanish layout are you looking for ?  qwerty, qwertz, dvorak... ?
[04:42] <BrendanM> Eldrani, what speed were you burning them at?
[04:42] <Eldrani> It was that they were RW's messed it yp
[04:42] <Eldrani> *up
[04:42] <BrendanM> I've had better luck burning at slower speeds
[04:42] <Eldrani> High, I couldn't change it.

[04:43] <tom47> Eldrani are yu downloading via ftp or bittorrrent?
[04:43] <Eldrani> Bittorrent
[04:43] <tom47> ok
[04:43] <BrendanM> Hey, so I've got some biggish (~100 MB) files in my home folder titled core.5271, core.5372, etc
[04:43] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, did you do an integrity check/?
[04:43] <BrendanM> can I delete those?
[04:43] <Eldrani> Yep, passed it
[04:43] <BrendanM> any idea what they're for?
[04:43] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, did you try running sudo gparted separately?
[04:44] <ardchoille42> BrendanM, I've never seen those on any of my 11 computers.
[04:44] <Eldrani> Hmm? What's that?
[04:44] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, its the partition manager
[04:44] <Eldrani> How do I do that?
[04:44] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, if your computer crashes on that step, might wanna try that
[04:44] <Eldrani> It's part of the install, it does it automatically.
[04:44] <Eldrani> How can I skip it?
[04:44] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, start a terminal and type sudo gparted
[04:44] <Eldrani> And that'll make the installer skip that step?
[04:44] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, from lived
[04:44] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, Skip the partitioning step of the installer?
[04:44] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, no
[04:45] <Eldrani> What'll it do then?
[04:45] <pppoe_dude> but might give some insight
[04:45] <Eldrani> I'll try.
[04:45] <riotkittie> mathieu: try sudo loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/es.kmap.gz
[04:45] <jvai> ty uall..
[04:46] <riotkittie> i *think* there is a dpkg-reconfigure that will change it permanently but i dont remember which dpkg it was :\
[04:46] <mobiGeek> how can i get mod_rewrite for apache2 installed?
[04:46] <Eldrani> Sorry, but how do I open a terminal. xP
[04:46] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, accessories
[04:46] <fong> help
[04:46] <Eldrani> k thanks
[04:46] <fong> i still cant hear any sound!!!!
[04:46] <riotkittie> i set up an alias so i could do it more easily.
[04:46] <ardchoille42> Eldrani, ALT+F2, type in gnome-terminal and click run
[04:47] <charles> hello all
[04:47] <ardchoille42> hi charles
[04:47] <tom47> !hi | charles
[04:47] <ubotu> charles: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:48] <ardchoille42> Gotta love ubotu
[04:48] <charles> ty -- i just began re-learning linux and am certainly enjoying Ubuntu -- excellent distro
[04:48] <Eldrani> What should I do once I got gparted up?
[04:48] <ardchoille42> That it is :)
[04:48] <Eldrani> Do I delete FAT32?
[04:49] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, do you want to wipe your harddisk clean?
[04:49] <mobiGeek> anyone?  mod_rewrite for apache2?  It doesn't appear to be installed with "apt-get install apache2" (or whatever I ran)
[04:49] <Eldrani> Yeah
[04:49] <riotkittie> Eldrani: eh. do you want to get rid of your win98 install?
[04:49] <Eldrani> I wanna wipe of Win98 and put on Ubuntu
[04:49] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, did you back up everything?
[04:49] <Eldrani> Theres nothing there. :p
[04:49] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, do you want to erase everything?
[04:49] <Eldrani> Its just a clean install from like a month ago
[04:49] <pppoe_dude> ok
[04:49] <Eldrani> Nothing I want or need to keep.
[04:50] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, how big is your harddisk?
[04:50] <Eldrani> But, if I do this, Ubuntu will still do the partition part of the install and crash, wont it?
[04:50] <Eldrani> MY HD is 8GB, i think.
[04:50] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, might not crash
[04:50] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, 8gb?
[04:50] <Eldrani> Yeah. :/
[04:50] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, k then select auto partition
[04:50] <Eldrani> Where?
[04:50] <riotkittie> finally, someone with a hard drive smaller than mine <dances>
[04:50] <pppoe_dude> in the installer
[04:50] <Eldrani> ok
[04:51] <Eldrani> So, delete FAT32 and autopartition?
[04:51] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, were you selecting manual before?
[04:51] <Eldrani> It wouldn't even load that menu
[04:51] <Eldrani> It would have the percent bar, hit 100% and restart
[04:51] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, well try and wipe everything if you like and start the installer
[04:51] <Eldrani> Okay.
[04:52] <mobiGeek> found it:   a2enmod rewrite
[04:52] <tom47> Eldrani how much RAM do you have on it?
[04:52] <mobiGeek> this ubuntu thing is not so dumb.
[04:52] <mobiGeek> :-)
[04:52] <pppoe_dude> tom47, 256
[04:52] <tom47> k
[04:53] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, might want to consider a lighter ubuntu distribution
[04:53] <tom47> he is not OVER-blessed with resources
[04:53] <riotkittie> what processor speed?
[04:54] <MarcC> is it normal to see duplicate processes in the process list of apps like htop?
[04:55] <pppoe_dude> MarcC, not if only one is running
[04:55] <pppoe_dude> MarcC, you mean you see two htops?
[04:55] <fong> somebody help me please... sound's not working:(
[04:55] <shea> is there any way to use standard X11 window geometry strings with gnome apps?   or an equivalent 'modern' way?

[04:56] <pppoe_dude> MarcC, or some random process?
[04:56] <MarcC> pppoe_dude: no, I see like two skypes, three hald-addon-storage's, etc.
[04:56] <gop> kitche how about ident for irc how do I install that
[04:56] <pppoe_dude> MarcC, it is pretty normal to see duplicates of things like ssh, getty, etc
[04:56] <gop> or it
[04:56] <dewm_solo> good evening all
[04:56] <pppoe_dude> MarcC, ah... that kind... not sure about the skype... hald might be ok
[04:56] <joefreire> how to mount image .iso and .img ??
[04:56] <deafboy> What's a good software ripper for linux that rips encrypted dvds?
[04:56] <pppoe_dude> !iso
[04:56] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[04:56] <MarcC> pppoe_dude: thanks, I will look into this further
[04:57] <dewm_solo> Question here: ...i seem to have a blank....what are the console commands to see the mounted disks and the command to see those that aren't?
[04:58] <dabaR> mount sudo fdisk -l
[04:58] <dabaR> split at sudo

[04:59] <joefreire> how to mount card SD ?
[04:59] <pppoe_dude> joefreire, should automount
[04:59] <mhz> I have a Sis 661 video card. I have googled, tried different couple of settings on my xorg.conf but still have no idea if it s actually working. How can I tell my config is really effective?
[04:59] <deafboy> Does anyone know of a good dvd ripping software for linux?
[04:59] <pppoe_dude> mhz, what do you mean effective?
[04:59] <joefreire> pppoe_dude,  no funcional
[05:00] <mhz> pppoe_dude: I mean, how can I know it is actually working on my acceleration

[05:01] <iwarp62> deafboy, AcidRip works well for me
[05:01] <pppoe_dude> mhz, that will let you know if its hardware or software acceleration
[05:01] <mhz> pppoe_dude: okis, I get this:  OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[05:01] <deafboy> iwarp62: it doesn't do encrypted dvds though? or for me it won't anyway
[05:02] <joefreire> pppoe_dude, dont works
[05:02] <pppoe_dude> joefreire, try typing dmesg after turning on your camera + making sure cables hooked and paste ending into a pastebin
[05:03] <mhz> joefreire: you could also run: tail -f /var/log/messages                  That will show you some info once you plug in your camera/device
[05:03] <pppoe_dude> mhz, iirc that means there is no hardware acceleration
[05:03] <mhz> pppoe_dude: meaning my .conf sucks ?
[05:03] <mhz> :)
[05:03] <pppoe_dude> mhz, not necessarily
[05:04] <gop> does eddgy comes with barly

[05:06] <mhz> pppoe_dude: the hardware is Sis 661
[05:07] <pppoe_dude> mhz, in xorg.conf, what do you have beside 'driver' under 'device'
[05:07] <mhz> pppoe_dude: driver :  Driver          "sis"
[05:08] <pppoe_dude> mhz, do you have load glx, load dri in the beginning?
[05:08] <pppoe_dude> mhz, also are you having any problems or are you just curious?

[05:09] <ToHellWithGA> do any of yall have expertise in recovering frozen virtualbox images?

[05:11] <Eldrani> It still froze at the same spot.
[05:11] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, it freezes?
[05:11] <pppoe_dude> or reboots
[05:11] <Eldrani> Reboots.
[05:12] <pppoe_dude> i would suggest you try and use the alternate cd
[05:12] <pppoe_dude> otherwise, it could be a hardware issue
[05:12] <Eldrani> Would that solve it?
[05:12] <Eldrani> I doubt it's hardware...
[05:12] <pppoe_dude> Eldrani, might solve it
[05:12] <Eldrani> Alright, I'll torrent it now.

[05:24] <turbolover> hey how come ubuntu wont let me format my slave hd? it sees it, just wont let me format it
[05:24] <Quintin> pppoe_dude: ?!??!?!?  :-S
[05:24] <Quintin> turbolover: how are you trying to format it?
[05:24] <turbolover> through disks in system menu
[05:24] <pppoe_dude> Quintin, cappuccino is more than just a cappuccino... it has a freshness ingredient to it
[05:25] <pppoe_dude> turbolover, is it mounted?
[05:25] <Quintin> pppoe_dude: well.. will it taste 'good enough'?
[05:25] <turbolover> yes
[05:25] <pppoe_dude> turbolover, you have to unmount first
[05:25] <Quintin> turbolover: don't think you can format mounted drives.
[05:25] <turbolover> eh device is busy
[05:25] <turbolover> wonder what its so busy doing
[05:26] <turbolover> wont let me unmount
[05:27] <pppoe_dude> turbolover, is it your /home or / partition?
[05:27] <Quintin> turbolover: you probably have a file browser window open
[05:27] <turbolover> ooh yay now it works
[05:27] <turbolover> so
[05:28] <turbolover> should i go wit good ole ext3 or reiserfs
[05:28] <turbolover> i never knew they named a filesystem after the great comedian paul reiser
[05:28] <Quintin> turbolover: doesn't matter.
[05:29] <turbolover> hmm, guess that wasnt funny
[05:29] <x2mjokada> hey guys i went to the nvidia driver isntalling wiki page ubotu gave me but it seems outdated, is it?
[05:29] <pppoe_dude> turbolover, ext3 would be what id recommend
[05:29] <x2mjokada> !botsnack
[05:29] <ubotu> Yum!
[05:29] <x2mjokada> !mencoder
[05:29] <ubotu> mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3171 kB, installed size 7956 kB
[05:30] <Quintin> turbolover: ext3 is more stable.  reiser is probably slightly faster for some things
[05:30] <seventypercent> turbolover: oh, sure, you love paul reiser, but everybody forgets how slimy he was in "aliens"
[05:31] <turbolover> didnt he get eaten in it? i cant remember
[05:31] <turbolover> ohw ait he never go tanywhere near them
[05:31] <ziquantoma> hi, would someone help me out with a video card issue?
[05:32] <dabaR> ziquantoma: provide some information about it, please.
[05:32] <seventypercent> i can't remember -- i think he got implanted like the rest of them
[05:33] <rredd4> x2mjokada  try typing nvidia in the wiki search box from the ubuntu home page
[05:33] <Eldrani> Alright, burning the alternate instal disk now.
[05:33] <seventypercent> however, back on topic, i'd agree with pppoe_dude and choose ext3 over reiser
[05:33] <turbolover> yeah, i guess he felt the need to keep up with all the young hollywood starlets so he could find work, getting implanted and all
[05:33] <x2mjokada> rredd4, yeah, What I meant was that I went to that page, but it seems kind of, nevermind, thanks anyways
[05:33] <ziquantoma> i was trying to play around with compiz and i changed some nvidia drivers. was told to reboot and now I see nothing on boot.
[05:33] <Quintin> ziquantoma: ctrl + alt + f1 and fix it
[05:34] <ziquantoma> by see nothing i mean monitor has no signal
[05:36] <rredd4> ziquantoma  boot from a live cd.. then change drivers?
[05:37] <x2mjokada> guys, what's the parameter to glxgears to show the fps?
[05:37] <ziquantoma> live cd doesn't work... still can't see what's going on
[05:37] <Quintin> x2mjokada: my glxgears shows it automatically
[05:37] <Quintin> ziquantoma: check cables.  change vid card
[05:37] <x2mjokada> Quintin, mine doesn't, that's why I
[05:37] <x2mjokada> 'am asking
[05:37] <bootleg> hey guys
[05:37] <tannerld> could someone help me? I just installed ubuntu on a new computer and the sound does not work
[05:37] <bootleg> i'm thinking of installing ubuntu on this system
[05:38] <bootleg> its a core 2 duo 6300 with a x850 platinum edition video card
[05:38] <rredd4> ziquantoma  yeah what Quintin says
[05:38] <bootleg> because i'm going to start trying to get cisco rotuers soon and do networking
[05:38] <bootleg> would ubuntu have any probelsm recognizing my router or my hardware?
[05:38] <bootleg> problems*
[05:38] <bootleg> and not router.. i meant modem
[05:38] <rredd4> ziquantoma  it should boot ok from a live cd
[05:38] <bootleg> ?
[05:38] <x2mjokada> gnomefreak, are you there
[05:38] <rredd4> ziquantoma  and you should see video
[05:38] <ziquantoma> it probably is booting, just can't see it
[05:39] <rredd4> yes we are here
[05:39] <turbolover> boot: uh, it doenst have to "recognize the routers" if your routers work properly, a router is a standalone thingamajig
[05:39] <turbolover> doh
[05:39] <turbolover> disregard
[05:39] <bootleg> i dont mean router
[05:39] <bootleg> i corrected myself
[05:39] <bootleg> i meant modem
[05:39] <rredd4> ziquantoma  check cables... vid card.. do you have windows?  boot into that to see if it works
[05:39] <x2mjokada> !beryl
[05:39] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[05:39] <_Archangel> my X server isn't set up correctly. what is the lib package i need to make sure is installed ?
[05:39] <KillingG> Does NetworkManager Applet 0.6.2 support WPA "out of the box"? Or do I need wpa_supplicant?
[05:40] <turbolover> arch: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[05:40] <bootleg> and um.. would a gigabyte motherboard work right away
[05:40] <bootleg> or would ubuntu recognize the cd software?
[05:40] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i can't see bios or boot menu :(
[05:40] <turbolover> boot: only one way to find that out :)
[05:40] <bootleg> well like
[05:40] <ziquantoma> checking cables and trying onboard videocard again :/
[05:40] <bootleg> on windows, my ethernet port doesnt activate until i install the mb cd
[05:41] <oem> list
[05:41] <rredd4> ziquantoma  is your vid card agp or direct connect to the mother board?
[05:41] <bootleg> so that means i have to install it i guess... and it would install it in random directories if i aws using ubuntu
[05:41] <ziquantoma> rredd4 pci express
[05:41] <Okiesmokie> Hmm, is it bad that in /sbin/lspci, it doesn't specifically show an Ethernet Controller:, but instead a "00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)" ?  (The connection is not working)
[05:41] <_Archangel> it's a gmd issue ?
[05:41] <_Archangel> how do i close an x seaaion so i can reboot it ?
[05:41] <_Archangel> x session
[05:42] <ziquantoma> rredd4 it worked fine until i switched to legacy drivers
[05:42] <rredd4> ziquantoma  your monitor says "no video signal"?
[05:42] <bootleg> btw, is there any hardware to boost your net speed? =\, i want 10mb upload.. or are there any decently priced ways to get 10mb upload
[05:42] <bootleg> or atleast 5 mb
[05:42] <ziquantoma> rredd4 correct
[05:42] <ardchoille42> _Archangel, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:42] <KorN[CM] > can anyone help me with raid
[05:42] <KorN[CM] > cause I've read the tutorials
[05:42] <ivanhoe> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gukit-X75_U
[05:42] <KorN[CM] > still not working, dmraid is not working ):
[05:42] <rredd4> ziquantoma  ok your monitor is ok.. may vid card took a dive
[05:42] <ivanhoe> its a good video
[05:42] <ivanhoe> from ubuntu
[05:43] <ivanhoe> its in spanish but
[05:43] <ivanhoe> its good
[05:43] <bootleg> whats it for
[05:43] <ivanhoe> if you want to translate or subtitulate
[05:43] <ivanhoe> its a googd choice
[05:43] <rredd4> ziquantoma  its not getting vertical, horizontal, video info from the vid card
[05:43] <shatrat> bootleg: If you want to increase your network bandwidth the only way is to give more $$$ to your ISP
[05:43] <rredd4> ziquantoma  got another one?
[05:44] <ziquantoma> rredd4 no, just the integrated one
[05:44] <rredd4> ziquantoma  so you have a pci card and the mother board one, correct?
[05:45] <ziquantoma> rredd4 correct
[05:45] <rredd4> ziquantoma have you removed the pci card and tried the mother board card yet?
[05:45] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i have
[05:45] <ziquantoma> rredd4 no luck:(
[05:46] <rredd4> ziquantoma hmmm
[05:46] <rredd4> ziquantoma can't see why changing nvidia drivers would kill a vid card tho
[05:46] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i don't know if this is related but also when i try to power off by hitting the button, it restarts rather than turns off
[05:46] <bootleg> My Chemical Romance - 04 - You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
[05:47] <shifty> o.o
[05:47] <rredd4> ziquantoma which button?
[05:47] <ziquantoma> rredd4 power button on box
[05:47] <rredd4> ziquantoma you have to hold it in for a few seconds
[05:48] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i know..
[05:48] <hope13> what program do i install to use .rar?
[05:48] <rredd4> ziquantoma do you have another monitor to try?
[05:48] <Pici> Hm.. is there a command I could use to tell me what process is using /dev/dsp?
[05:48] <bootleg> does ubuntu take like no cpu resources?
[05:48] <YeaSt> rar
[05:48] <ziquantoma> rredd4 yes i will try that now
[05:48] <rredd4> k
[05:49] <hope13> rar?
[05:49] <YeaSt>  yep
[05:49] <bootleg> i see ppl runnin wow, firefox, movies and music + more
[05:49] <KorN[CM] > still not working, dmraid is not working ):
[05:49] <KorN[CM] > eh this is killing me
[05:49] <Quintin> bootleg:  ... ?
[05:49] <KorN[CM] > damn dmraid
[05:49] <bootleg> i see ppl runnin wow, firefox, movies and music + more..
[05:49] <YeaSt> just search the rar for ubuntu
[05:49] <Quintin> bootleg: you can do that on a Pentium II with 128m ram
[05:49] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | KorN[CM] 
[05:49] <ubotu> KorN[CM] : Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:49] <hope13> so sudo apt-get install rar?
[05:49] <bootleg> i hace a 6300 c2d
[05:49] <KorN[CM] > !ohmy e
[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy e - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:49] <YeaSt> i am not sure
[05:49] <bootleg> is ubuntu that mch better then windows?
[05:49] <Quintin> bootleg: define "better"
[05:50] <YeaSt> but you can download the package and install it
[05:50] <kamiro87> HEllo, i am having a bizzare problem playing video. All the sound effects and music plays correctly but the speech is all distorted.
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> bootleg: Depends who you ask ;)  Join #ubuntu-offtopic for that please.
[05:50] <hope13> doesn't work lol
[05:50] <kamiro87> this is for every single file ive tryed to play
[05:50] <YeaSt> you already tried?
[05:50] <hope13> i've tried searching for it
[05:51] <YeaSt> ok, if you like you can give me your email add, i can mail you one
[05:51] <turbolover> sudo apt-get install the-internet
[05:51] <erpo> How can I limit the rate at which the ssh/scp/sftp server on my machine will upload?
[05:52] <x2mjokada> !azureus
[05:52] <ubotu> azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[05:52] <hope13> naw
[05:52] <YeaSt> ?
[05:53] <hope13> i'll just go home and unrar it on a window machine
[05:53] <YeaSt> ok, go ahead
[05:54] <bootleg> ok sorry i'm done eating now
[05:54] <turbolover> boot: just get a mac
[05:54] <bootleg> ok, like in windows lets say playing cs source and alt tabbing lags for me on my c2d
[05:54] <bootleg> oops ill go to off topic
[05:54] <_Archangel> that didn't work
[05:54] <Goldmen> Is ubuntu's boot time usually faster than xp?
[05:54] <_Archangel> it's locking my computer up when it fails to load xserver
[05:54] <deafboy> Is there any linux app out there that allows copying of encrypted dvds?
[05:54] <erpo> Goldmen: On my laptop it is.
[05:54] <Quintin> deafboy: use dvdshrink
[05:54] <bootleg> alright
[05:55] <bootleg> but on ubuntu, when i see people using beryl
[05:55] <bootleg> they have like 2 movise on 1 screen
[05:55] <deafboy> quintin: I'm looking for a native linux app
[05:55] <bootleg> WoW on the other
[05:55] <bootleg> and etc.
[05:55] <ardchoille42> deafboy, http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[05:55] <hope13> ah i got it
[05:55] <hope13> thx again
[05:55] <Quintin> deafboy: keep looking
[05:55] <bootleg> so does that mean ubuntu uses less resources? or runs programs better or something
[05:55] <bootleg> and windows is just plain garbage
[05:55] <deafboy> so acid rip doesn't do encrypted dvs?
[05:55] <ardchoille42> deafboy, But, you'll need to have libdvdcss2 installed to copy encrypted DVD's.
[05:55] <Falstius> Goldmen: the time from boot until ubuntu is usable is less then for windows (windows is generally useless for a minute or more after logging in)
[05:56] <ziquantoma> rredd4 no signal from either video card - that was using the same cable though, i'll switch those out next
[05:56] <bootleg> not if you use msconfig correclty o_O or have a good processor
[05:56] <rredd4> ziquantoma ok
[05:56] <ardchoille42> deafboy, The apps themselves don't do the decrypting, they call libdvdcss2 to do that. If you don't have libdvdcss2, then they won't decrypt.
[05:56] <Quintin> Falstius: totally not true.
[05:56] <Falstius> bootleg: it is the harddrive that limits that more than the processor.
[05:57] <Quintin> bootleg: it depends.
[05:57] <bootleg> ehm, i have a sata 250 GB 7200 ... maxtor
[05:57] <jmiller565> BTW what appelet to ppl on Ubuntu use which show the Ram mem hard drive network etc?
[05:57] <jmiller565> so to = do
[05:57] <jmiller565> soz
[05:57] <bootleg> i think its probably cs source thats the problem though..
[05:57] <riotkittie> jmiller565: errr in the panel? or on the desktop ?
[05:57] <bootleg> its a garbage beta game
[05:58] <bootleg> time to burn ubuntu to a dvd..
[05:58] <Falstius> bootleg: cd
[05:58] <jmiller565> desktop
[05:58] <jmiller565> riotkittie: desktop
[05:58] <bootleg> what burning speed should i use
[05:58] <riotkittie> jmiller565: conky , probably. its in the repos
[05:58] <bootleg> i only have dvd's i dont have any cd's
[05:59] <jmiller565> riotkittie: thanks man
[05:59] <Quintin> bootleg: please stop asking stupid questions :\
[05:59] <riotkittie> jmiller565: youre welcome
[05:59] <Quintin> bootleg: just use whatever your burning app uses.  it shouldn't matter
[05:59] <bootleg> hows that stupid
[05:59] <bootleg> it does matter
[05:59] <bootleg> if you burn it at too fast of a speed you get errors
[05:59] <riotkittie> ehhh. some people do experience problems burning at the max speed, so its not a stupid question
[05:59] <shifty> !asp
[05:59] <bootleg> -.-
[05:59] <ubotu> asp: Discovers present ip-address of dynamically connected hosts. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.8-5 (edgy), package size 17 kB, installed size 100 kB

[06:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aspx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:00] <bootleg> somebody doesn't burn too many things
[06:00] <Quintin> bootleg: .. not really.  your drive is probably crap then.
[06:00] <bootleg> ..
[06:00] <bootleg> are you a moron?
[06:00] <shatrat> bootleg, Are you?
[06:00] <riotkittie> bootleg:  i've had no probs burning at the max. some people suggest 4x. if you have discs to spare, go with the max. if you have time to kill, go with the min. :P
[06:00] <bootleg> no
[06:00] <bootleg> whatever
[06:00] <bootleg> i'll just burn it at max then
[06:01] <Quintin> bootleg: please see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct
[06:01] <bootleg> should i burn it rared or extracted?
 bootleg: .. not really.  your drive is probably crap then.
[06:01] <shatrat> bootleg, Ive seen 2 people this week who had discs with errors becaue they burned at max speed and had no problems at 4x.  If youre ignorant, at least be ignorant and quiet.
[06:01] <riotkittie> err. burn what rar'ed ?
[06:01] <ziquantoma> rredd4 wow i have random success on different monitor/cable with live cd
[06:01] <ziquantoma> rredd4 with nvidia card
[06:01] <bootleg> ok then shatrat..
[06:01] <bootleg> wtf
[06:01] <bootleg> are you stupid shatrat? i just said that you get problems sometimes when you burn with max
[06:02] <bootleg> its the other guy who said you dont
[06:02] <bootleg> why am i ignroant
[06:02] <Quintin> bootleg: yes.  what do you mean rared ?  If you have an ISO image, that's a picture of exactly how the disc should be.  Use a burning program to burn the image.  Don't try to extract files from it.
[06:02] <rredd4> ziquantoma  ok... you tried diff cable then and now you get random success?
[06:02] <riotkittie> kumbiyah my loooooord, kumbiyah...
[06:02] <Falstius> bootleg: that depends on your drive, your cds and your software.  There's no way anyone here could tell you what speed you should use.
[06:02] <bootleg> i dont have an iso... zzz..
[06:02] <ziquantoma> rredd4  new monitor new cable... now i need to find what to change
[06:02] <deafboy> ardchoille42: i have libdvdcss2 installed but neither Dvd::Rip or AcidRip can do anything, NOTE: this is NEW copy protection
[06:03] <bootleg> god dude
[06:03] <rredd4> ziquantoma  cool  at least you have vid
[06:03] <bootleg> nommater where you go on the internet, there are always morons cramping every corner -.-
[06:03] <ardchoille42> deafboy, Then I don't know.
[06:03] <riotkittie> errr. if you dont have an iso, what do you have -- are you sure that its not an iso? perhaps winrar has associated itself with ISOs?
[06:03] <Quintin> bootleg: What do you have then?  The releases are ISO9660 disc images.
[06:03] <bootleg> can't even read the things i say
[06:03] <bootleg> um
[06:03] <riotkittie> i cant see why someone would RAR an iso
[06:03] <bootleg> well.. does winrar allow you to automatically extract isos?
[06:03] <riotkittie> but eh. ><
[06:04] <Quintin> bootleg: and you are calling people here stupid.  >.<
[06:04] <Quintin> amazing.
[06:04] <deafboy> ardchoille42: it's probably because it's a very new movie, i heard even the famed dvd decrypter has problems iwth new movies
[06:04] <bootleg> how am i stupid...?
[06:04] <riotkittie> you dont need to extract the ISO. just burn the disc image
[06:04] <bootleg> omgawd i use winrar so much
[06:04] <bootleg> well i don't have an iso
[06:04] <bootleg> i have a .rar
[06:04] <Okiesmokie> Is there anyone here who has experience with not having an internet connection with a "nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)", and could shed some light on my problem?
[06:04] <Quintin> bootleg: where did you get it from?
[06:04] <bootleg> the site
[06:04] <riotkittie> which site?
[06:04] <bootleg> ill giev you the link
[06:04] <bootleg> ubuntu official
[06:04] <riotkittie> dude. there is no way you downloaded a rar from ubuntu.com
[06:04] <bootleg> http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download#
[06:05] <Falstius> bootleg: somehow I don't think they're started distributing proprietary rar files from the ubuntu site :)
[06:05] <riotkittie> i cant imagine them going wiht a ... Falstius beat me too it
[06:05] <bootleg> ok.. then i guess winrar automatically is showing it on my desktop as a rar but its really an iso
[06:05] <riotkittie> bootleg: yeah sometimes, WinRAR will associate itself with ISOs
[06:06] <seravitae> yawn
[06:06] <riotkittie> burn the image to disc and you'll be fine.
[06:06] <bootleg> ok, i asked that earlier, and some guy was like "are you an idiot"
[06:06] <bootleg> thanks for the help riotkittie
[06:06] <arrenlex> bootleg: Ignore the jerks :) There's a few everywhere.
[06:06] <Falstius> oh, they do have DVDs for Edgy.  I wonder what the fill them with.
[06:06] <arrenlex> Falstius: Packages.
[06:06] <arrenlex> Falstius: And sweet caramel goodness.
[06:06] <shatrat> both installers and some extra packages are on the DVD
[06:07] <fn1> I'm planning to move on to 64-bit kernel. Does anyone know how good Ubuntu support 64-bit processor ? Are there the equivalent 64bit packages as 32bit packages ?
[06:07] <Falstius> mmm ... rollos
[06:07] <Brady_M> I need a good suggested video editor to use in ubuntu.
[06:07] <Quintin> fn1: expect headaches
[06:07] <bootleg> yay, burning at 62x
[06:07] <ardchoille42> deafboy, Well, someone from the Linux community will have an app out to decrypt it soon :)
[06:07] <frogzoo_> fn1: unless you're running a server, you're best off with the 32
[06:07] <bootleg> don't want to go maximum
[06:07] <varsendaggr> Brady_M, Blender
[06:07] <erpo> Brady_M: All are bad. Kino is the best one I've seen.
[06:07] <mikejanssen> what = best ipod app for ubuntu...
[06:07] <erpo> mikejanssen: gtkpod
[06:07] <shatrat> fn1, yes, you can get most any packagegs as 64 bit, the problem is that theres no 64 bit Flash plugin and a lot of other things, so you have to fiddle around with chrooted 32 bit environments and stuff.  Its a lot of trouble
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> !ipod | mikejanssen
[06:08] <ubotu> mikejanssen: 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
[06:08] <mikejanssen> got it
[06:08] <bootleg> hey guys, one more question.
[06:08] <mikejanssen> how to work it
[06:08] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:08] <arrenlex> bootleg: There are no drives which will go up to 62x because at that speed CDs might burst apart. Even 52x is considered dangerous, which is why they sold a few such drives and then stopped.
[06:08] <fn1> Quintin, frogzoo: I'm running my personal LAMP server, if there're not quite a few problems, I can cope with it. It's good experimentation anyway.
[06:08] <bootleg> will ubuntu allow me to delete partitions at the beggining before installation just like windows?
[06:08] <deafboy> ardchoille42: yeah its Pirates of the Caribbean 2, for some reason it won't go..... but yeah the only thing i've found so far is run Ripit4you in wine
[06:08] <mikejanssen> !rockbox
[06:08] <ubotu> rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for MP3 players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio.  See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started!
[06:08] <Brady_M> erpo, does basic editing?
[06:08] <erpo> Brady_M: Kino does, yes.
[06:08] <frogzoo_> bootleg: choose manual partition setup
[06:08] <shatrat> fn1, if you're just messing around and you wont be getting much binary only software you might as well, im sure youll learn a lot.
[06:08] <Brady_M> I'll check it out
[06:09] <bootleg> ok
[06:09] <ziquantoma> rredd4 you still there?
[06:09] <rredd4> ziquantoma  yes
[06:09] <erpo> mikejanssen: Click load. Drag and drop. Click save.
[06:09] <fn1> shatrat: I see, apart from the lack of binary 64bit packages, is there any other problems ?
[06:09] <bootleg> because i want to delete all of this windows installation when i install ubuntu
[06:09] <dabaR> !rar-free
[06:09] <Quintin> bootleg: yes it will
[06:09] <bootleg> thanks for the help
[06:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rar-free - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:10] <shasan> howdy, needing some help with selecting partition option. i'm installing ubuntu on my external drive that already has a partition on it with a little bit of (important) data. if i tell ubuntu to resize my drive and to use free space, will i lose my data?

[06:11] <fn1> shatrat: I'm compiling the kernel now, but am wondering if I just installed the kernel onto an existing 32bit Ubuntu installation, that would break a lot of applications. Better to get a clean installation I guess ?
[06:11] <Quintin> shasan: very possibly.  make a backup
[06:11] <KorN[CM] > I get all kinds of errors when I run that
[06:11] <shatrat> shasan, probably not. Ive never lost anything that way.  YOu should defrag it first though, if it is a windows drive
[06:11] <tonyyarusso> glyn: End of Life.  No more security updates.
[06:11] <frogzoo_> shatrat: if that partition is ntfs, there's a good chance resizing you'll lose your data

[06:11] <glyn> Oh, yeah..I know that
[06:11] <shasan> ok, but the best bet is to just make a backup then hope it all works?
[06:11] <glyn> I would upgrade but my compaq has an internal CD ROM drive that doesn't work

[06:12] <ardchoille42> deafboy, I don't use KDE apps. Is that DVD Blueray or HD DVD?
[06:12] <shasan> alright, thanks for your help. wish me luck
[06:12] <Falstius> deafboy: they wikipedia article on arccos mentions that pirates 2 has it, and gives a list of windows rippers that will read it.

[06:12] <Dave>  /topic
[06:12] <deafboy> ardchoille42: nope, so xdvdshrink is what you use?
[06:12] <arrenlex> KorN[CM] : Nevermind.
[06:12] <rredd4> ziquantoma  maybe you should do xorg reconfig?
[06:12] <KorN[CM] > eh arrenlex im lost
[06:12] <arrenlex> KorN[CM] : Have you run apt-get update recently?
[06:12] <ardchoille42> deafboy, YEs, it has never failed me :)
[06:12] <shatrat> fn1, You are correct, I dont think you can just pop in a 64 bit kernel if youve got all 32 bit libs and apps.
[06:12] <KorN[CM] > um not sure
[06:12] <KorN[CM] > should I?
[06:12] <deafboy> Falstius: yeah i just wish i knew a native linux ripper that did it :P
[06:12] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i have to figure out how to get to a place to edit it
[06:12] <arrenlex> shatrat: You can and I've done it.
[06:13] <shatrat> arrenlex, Doesnt it kidn of defeat the point though, if everything that runs on it is 32 bit?
[06:13] <rredd4> ziquantoma  control alt f2?
[06:13] <fn1> shatrat: Thanks a lot, I'll go get the alternate CD.
[06:13] <arrenlex> shatrat: Provided your processor is 64-bit. In fact, generic might provide that. I dunno.
[06:13] <deafboy> Falstius: Acid Rip and DvD::Rip both fail, i used RipIt4U (windows app)
[06:13] <rredd4> ziquantoma  then log in
[06:13] <ziquantoma> rredd4 oh yes, thank you
[06:13] <arrenlex> shatrat: The purpose of 64-bit? There is none for a desktop PC. You will not notice a speed difference under desktop use.
[06:13] <KorN[CM] > just did it, no updates
[06:14] <shatrat> deafboy, ripit4me runs in wine, or so I've read
[06:14] <arrenlex> shatrat: Having a 64-bit kernel allows you to run 64-bit executables, provided you have the right 64-bit libraries.
[06:14] <rredd4> ziquantoma  select nv
[06:14] <Falstius> arrenlex: unless you have like 16GB of ram
[06:14] <ardchoille42> deafboy, Oh, ARccOS is by Sony. I refuse to use/buy/rent/etc anything from Sony.
[06:14] <deafboy> shatrat: yeah, i just wust hate having to do that lol
[06:14] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i dont spend much time out of the window system, can i use gedit here?
[06:14] <Flannel> arrenlex: yes there is.  It allows you to have more than 4gb, and if you do any really heavy graphics processing, you get a performance boost
[06:14] <deafboy> ardchoille42: i have a ps3 :P
[06:14] <fn1> arrenlex: There will be speed different if you compile an app from source.
[06:14] <arrenlex> Falstius: 4+GB, actually. This is why I included "under desktop use" specifically. Servers are a different story, with different memory capacities.
[06:14] <rredd4> ziquantoma  not sure, but don't see why not
[06:15] <frogzoo_> ../11
[06:15] <jimmy20013> I downloaded the Ypops package and I am trying to install it but I get this error ./ypops: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libssl though
[06:15] <arrenlex> fn1: No, there won't be. Not unless that app was optimised for 64-bit when it was written. If you compile with 64-bit flags, you won't get a speed difference, just a different instruction set.
[06:15] <rredd4> whats the command for xorg reconfig?
[06:15] <shatrat> We might as well start getting used to 64 bit though, cell phones are gonna have 8gig of ram in 10 years I bet :)
[06:15] <arrenlex> rredd4: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[06:16] <frogzoo_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:16] <rredd4> ziquantoma  do that
[06:16] <ziquantoma> rredd4 can't. what editor should i use
[06:16] <rredd4> ziquantoma  no editor
[06:16] <james296> so, can automatix be trusted just yet or still makes broken files in Ubuntu?
[06:16] <Falstius> shatrat: not unless they come up with a non-volatile ram and use it for storage and memory.
[06:16] <ziquantoma> rred4 okay ill try the command
[06:16] <Flannel> james296: no, automatix is still unsafe
[06:16] <Marupa> what's the proper driver for plain ati cards(no acceleration)
[06:16] <varsendaggr> bur[n] er, hey how do i find the dependencies?
[06:16] <arrenlex> Marupa: ati
[06:16] <rredd4> ziquantoma use sudo
[06:16] <Marupa> danke
[06:16] <KorN[CM] > arrenlex?
[06:17] <arrenlex> Marupa: Why no acceleration? You can try radeon, which will give you acceleration on some supported cards and is also FOSS.
[06:17] <shatrat> Falstius, You just wait, the iphone pico is gonna be able to transcode HD-DVD to Divx and will have a firewire laser tattoo attatchment.
[06:17] <Flannel> !offtopic
[06:17] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:17] <mikejanssen> wtf...
[06:17] <fn1> arrenlex: Wouldn't the bigger register capacities reduce the need to move temporary data back and forth ?. That's also the compiler's responsiblity to optimize the app for 64bit processors.
[06:17] <james296> cuz I noticed in the changelog it says there are bug fixes in it
[06:17] <ziquantoma> rredd4 okay i'm at a config program
[06:17] <mikejanssen> my ipod isnt recognizing..
[06:17] <Marupa> trying to get someone back on his feet from a screwed up install.
[06:17] <varsendaggr> bur[n] er, nevermind
[06:17] <mikejanssen> its plugged in...but nothing is happening...
[06:17] <arrenlex> KorN[CM] : I dunno, sorry. The repositories have gotten screwed up.
[06:17] <rredd4> ziquantoma great select nv as your driver
[06:17] <ziquantoma> rredd4 interesting.. it was on 'vesa'
[06:17] <rredd4> ziquantoma just ahh
[06:18] <KorN[CM] > haha excellent :P
[06:18] <KorN[CM] > so I need to remove build-install
[06:18] <KorN[CM] > and then add it again?
[06:18] <Eldrani> I need MAJOR help!
[06:18] <Flannel> !ask | Eldrani
[06:18] <ubotu> Eldrani: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:18] <Eldrani> It's my computer.
[06:18] <shatrat> Hah
[06:19] <rredd4> Eldrani duh
[06:19] <Eldrani> I erased FAT32 to try and install Ubuntu according a to person here, and it didn't work...
[06:19] <shifty> yo shat!
[06:19] <rredd4> Eldrani lol
[06:19] <ziquantoma> rredd4 okay it was for bus intentifier.
[06:19] <shatrat> sup shifty
[06:19] <Eldrani> so...
[06:19] <nikin> i have some Qs :D like always :D first.. i have googled a lot for Lightsribe on Edgy.. but AFAIHS there are just some realy terrible workarounds for that. Anyone knows a better way?
[06:19] <ziquantoma> rredd4 okay it asks
[06:19] <Flannel> Eldrani: what didn't work?
[06:19] <Eldrani> I'm trying to put windows back on, and it's not working. It isn't reading the start-up floppy.
[06:19] <MotorCityMadMan> will ctrl+C exit man ?
[06:19] <rredd4> ziquantoma ?
[06:19] <ardchoille42> MotorCityMadMan, exit a man page?
[06:19] <MotorCityMadMan> or should it ?
[06:19] <ziquantoma> rredd4 yes?
[06:20] <ziquantoma> rredd4 oh nvm
[06:20] <shatrat> nikin, well, there is a lightscribe application for linux.  I dont have a lightscribe drive though so I havent used it.
[06:20] <Brady_M> Ok, I looking for a video editor, one that supports taking say an image and adding text to it. trying this kino, read a short of it, and it only supports actual video files. Any other one's that might do the trick.
[06:20] <MotorCityMadMan> ardchoille42:yes
[06:20] <ardchoille42> MotorCityMadMan, type a "q"
[06:20] <fn1> Eldrani: You sure that's a valid boot disk and your system is configured to boot up floppy dist first ?
[06:20] <Eldrani> I think so...
[06:20] <ziquantoma> rredd4 should i use kernel framebuffer device interface'?
[06:20] <shatrat> Brady_M, Im sure you can import a still image into kino and use it as a layer.  I am not a big NLE person though so I dont know too much about it.
[06:20] <Eldrani> but right now, NOTHING is on my computer
[06:20] <MotorCityMadMan> ardchoille42: your the mack
[06:21] <bootleg> ok, when i try to install it, it goes all the way to the final little box on the bar that you get after hitting enter on install
[06:21] <Eldrani> I'ts just like a big white void.
[06:21] <eternal_p> evening all...i'm wondering, is there an desktop based RSS news ticker, or something like google desktop for ubuntu, I find gdesklets very limiting
[06:21] <bootleg> and i get a long line underneath it thats blue and green
[06:21] <Brady_M> ok, let me tinker with it more
[06:21] <rredd4> ziquantoma not sure.. please ask ? in the room...
[06:21] <YeaSt>  is there anyone who can tell me how to read the topics in this channel?
[06:21] <bootleg> which like changes the color pattern everytime i hit up or down
[06:21] <Quintin> ziquantoma: no.  never.  ever.
[06:21] <bootleg> anybody know what happened?
[06:21] <nikin> And the other thing what i want, is to set my X server somehow  to just use grayscale
[06:21] <Flannel> YeaSt: /topic usually will do it
[06:21] <shatrat> eteranal_p I believe there are some for superkaramba, but thats a KDE thing
[06:21] <ziquantoma> quintin ok
[06:21] <fn1> Eldrani: AFAIK, Windows XP needs 4 floppy disks to bootup to recovery console, what have you got there ?
[06:21] <YeaSt> thanks, this is the first time using the IRC
[06:22] <bootleg> ok, when i try to install it, it goes all the way to the final little box on the bar that you get after hitting enter on install
[06:22] <bootleg> and i get a long line underneath it thats blue and green
[06:22] <bootleg> anybody know what happened?
[06:22] <Eldrani> It's not XP, just 98
[06:22] <Eldrani> I got all the CDs needed.
[06:22] <rredd4> ziquantoma if i don't know it, i don't want to give you a bad answer
[06:22] <Eldrani> But I start with the floppy, and there isn't even a c drive anymore!
[06:22] <eternal_p> will it run on gnome with all the needed deps/.
[06:22] <Eldrani> brb, gonna try new floppy...
[06:22] <_`XeOn_> hey guys does beryl runs well in a P3 800mhz 256 mb with a video card Nvidia Gforce 5+
[06:22] <_`XeOn_> ?
[06:22] <fn1> Eldrani: The Windows CDs are all bootable.
[06:22] <shatrat> Eldrani, try "fdisk mbr"
[06:22] <nikin> Eldrani: the you have maybe the BIOS not set to boot from floppy
[06:23] <bootleg> anybody know guys? >.>
[06:23] <shatrat> _`XeOn_, it wont run great, but you should be able to run it.  Try asking in #ubuntu-xgl if you have more questions
[06:23] <Flannel> _`XeOn_: #ubuntu-xgl  (or #beryl) for beryl support/questions, thanks.
[06:23] <bootleg> ok, when i try to install it, it goes all the way to the final little box on the bar that you get after hitting enter on install
[06:23] <bootleg> and i get a long line underneath it thats blue and green
[06:23] <ziquantoma> rredd4 understood and thanks. couldn't i just replace xorg with my backup of it
[06:23] <_`XeOn_> Flannel [TNT] ~* thanks
[06:23] <Flannel> bootleg: did you verify the CD?
[06:23] <nikin> Xeon: 256 Mb is not much but the gef 5 will be enough to run it.,.. but it will eat up your system
[06:24] <bootleg> verify?
[06:24] <bootleg> do the check thing
[06:24] <Flannel> bootleg: yes
[06:24] <rredd4> ziquantoma as long as its not the one that started this who mess... lol
[06:24] <bootleg> well i did, and the bar goes all the way
[06:24] <bootleg> and then i see dark blue text
[06:24] <shifty> brb switching to ubuntu
[06:24] <bootleg> which i cant read cause its on top of a black background
[06:24] <shifty> :)
[06:24] <bootleg> =\
[06:24] <ziquantoma> rredd4 think its okay to abort this config program?
[06:24] <bootleg> should i just use a new cd and write it on a lower speed and try again?
[06:24] <Flannel> bootleg: 4x is the suggested speed
[06:24] <rredd4> ziquantoma just complete it...
[06:25] <shatrat> bootleg, did you reboot into windows to join IRC or are you on a different PC and its still sitting there?
[06:25] <bootleg> well the lowest i can go is 15x
[06:25] <Flannel> bootleg: you should be able to push enter after a completed CDcheck to reboot... I don't remember if that happens on failure also though.
[06:25] <bootleg> i'm using infra recorder
[06:25] <bootleg> um yea
[06:25] <bootleg> after i hit enter... my computer reboots
[06:25] <KillingG> Can anyone help me with my Broadcom 4306 Wireless Card? I can iwconfig and it shows "wlan0", and NetworkManager Applet can see several networks; but whenever I select one it doesn't connect.
[06:25] <facugaich> What's the command to run a regex through a file?
[06:25] <Flannel> bootleg: no, it can go to 4x, other people have done it today.  infrarecorder is apparently pretty popular right now.
[06:25] <bootleg> am i just impatient? does the last box when installing ubuntu take a while to load?
[06:25] <shatrat> KillingG, one sec I have a link that might help you
[06:25] <bootleg> or when starting to install
[06:26] <KillingG> Awesome, thanks shatrat.
[06:26] <nikin> Killing: do you have WEP or WPA enableD?
[06:26] <KillingG> I'm pretty sure WPA is enabled.
[06:26] <KillingG> It's one of the options when it asks me for the passphrase
[06:26] <bootleg> alright, will almost be done soon
[06:26] <bootleg> writing new one at 15x
[06:26] <bootleg> if that doesnt work, ill try to somehow do 4x
[06:26] <bootleg> maybe its because i'm using a dvd cd
[06:27] <ziquantoma> rredd4 now can i delete and replace?
[06:27] <nikin> KillinG: note that WPA is a bit difficult to set on UBUNTU
[06:27] <Flannel> bootleg: er, you're burning a CD image on a DVD?  I'm not sure that works.
[06:27] <nikin> !WPA
[06:27] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:27] <shatrat> KillingG, ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174
[06:27] <bootleg> why wouldnt it work flannel
[06:27] <shifty> i am back
[06:27] <rredd4> ziquantoma i think so, but ask to be sure
[06:27] <bootleg> ?
[06:27] <shatrat> KillingG, thats broadcom specific, worked for my laptop.
[06:27] <bootleg> hey guys
[06:27] <KillingG> Thanks shatrat.
[06:27] <bootleg> whats fifo
[06:27] <shatrat> first in first out
[06:27] <bootleg> fifo had 11535 puts and 1535 gets
[06:28] <bootleg> fifo was 41 times empty and 3336 times full
[06:28] <bootleg> the data was succesfulyl written to the disc the dsic was succesfully fixated
[06:28] <shatrat> sounds like another word for queue in this case, as in write queue
[06:28] <bootleg> oh ok
[06:28] <bootleg> well i'll go try this new cd i burned... hope it works, thanks for the help again
[06:28] <boredandblogging> is there any documentation that needs a home? I just saw a thread on how the author of "How to install anything in Ubuntu" couldn't maintain it anymore. Just wonder if there was a resource for locating other projects that needed homes.
[06:28] <Brady_M> man, I know so many banging their head with broadcomm. I got 2 guys who come to my store spend awhile tinkering with it. They use ndis wrapper.
[06:29] <ziquantoma> is it safe to delete xorg.conf and replace with backup?
[06:29] <KillingG> I've spent the entire day trying to play around with ndiswrapper and wpa_suppliment. It's crazy.
[06:30] <glyn> hey in regards of the question I asked earlier about Hoary, Kopete doesn't work with webcams
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> ziquantoma: provided the backup is good, yes.
[06:30] <rredd4> ziquantoma see
[06:30] <shatrat> boredandblogging, there is an ubuntu document storage project at doc.gwos.org
[06:30] <Flannel> glyn: er, why are you still on Hoary?
[06:30] <CiscoJones> does anyone know if there i an Evolution help channel?
[06:30] <glyn> because my cd rom drive is broken
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> CiscoJones: That would be the main Gnome one I'd imagine, which is on gimpnet.
[06:30] <Flannel> glyn: you can upgrade from the internet
[06:31] <Brady_M> KillingG: If you want, I can ask them what they did. I think they got it down to a science now. They should post it.
[06:31] <shatrat> Brady_M, firmware is a pain, but I didnt have nearly as much trouble with the broadcom nic as with my last videocard, an ATI
[06:31] <glyn> I heard it doesn't work for Hoary
[06:31] <Flannel> glyn: heck, you can also upgrade by mounting the iso file
[06:31] <CiscoJones> thanks tonyyarusso
[06:31] <Flannel> glyn: it does work for hoary.
[06:31] <glyn> how do I do that?
[06:31] <ziquantoma> rredd4 uhhh do i use rename xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf ?
[06:31] <glyn> and do I have to be online for like 3 days straight to download?
[06:31] <Pooky> what's a good wireless network connecting application?
[06:31] <Flannel> glyn: do you have dialup?
[06:31] <glyn> no, dsl
[06:32] <rredd4> ziquantoma yes
[06:32] <Flannel> glyn: well, each upgrade will take 600mb or so, depending on how much extra software you installed
[06:32] <glyn> oh cool, how do I do it?
[06:32] <ziquantoma> rredd4 its giving me and error
[06:32] <glyn> do cams work a lot better on Edgy than Hoary?
[06:32] <Flannel> glyn: you need to upgrade piecewise. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes  there's a 5.04 to 5.10 then 5.10 to 6.06, you can't go straight to 6.06
[06:32] <KillingG> One minute, Brady_M. I'm trying out the tut shatrat gave
[06:33] <ziquantoma> rredd4 "Bareword "conf_backup" not allowed while
[06:33] <bootleg> ok guys, sorry i incorrecctly reported my problem
[06:33] <frogzoo_> glyn: would have to
[06:33] <ziquantoma> rredd4 ".. strict subs" in use at (eval 1) lin 1."
[06:33] <bootleg> whats really happening is - the bar loads fully, and after it does, the ubuntu sign turns grey
[06:33] <shatrat> thats ok, I incorrectly reported my income
[06:33] <Flannel> glyn: yeah, newer kernels have a lot better support.  I had problems with mine in hoary, and it was fixed in breezy (5.10)
[06:33] <bootleg> and i get a gree and blue thin line going across my monitor underneath it
[06:33] <bootleg> and when i press the arrow up and down the green and blue lign turns green and blue in different places along the lign
[06:33] <bootleg> line*
[06:33] <rredd4> should ziquantoma delete xorg.conf delete xorg.conf before renaming backup?
[06:33] <shatrat> bootleg, have you tried starting with the safe graphics settings options?
[06:33] <glyn> so how do I do the 5.04 to 5.10?
[06:34] <MrWamu> How do I install USB drivers?
[06:34] <bootleg> no
[06:34] <Flannel> glyn: did you go to that page?
[06:34] <bootleg> let me go try that.. lol
[06:34] <bootleg> does ubuntu hate linux btw?
[06:34] <glyn> Yeah
[06:34] <shatrat> MrWamu, they're in the kernel, generally
[06:34] <bootleg> because i know fedora does
[06:34] <ubuntu_> hi
[06:34] <bootleg> i mean does ubuntu hate ati*
[06:34] <shatrat> bootleg, more like ATI hates their customers
[06:34] <lwarimavute> Hi everyone
[06:34] <bootleg> oh
[06:34] <ubuntu_> have ppl from brazilian here?
[06:34] <bootleg> well.. is ubuntu compatible with ati?
[06:34] <Flannel> glyn: the third link down, "5.04 to 5.10"  that'll explain how to go from Hoary to Breezy, and I suggest going all the way to dapper, and staying there for now.
[06:34] <Flannel> !br | ubuntu_
[06:34] <MrWamu> Shatrat how do I go about installing one?
[06:34] <ubotu> ubuntu_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[06:34] <bootleg> because it isnt fully with fedora
[06:35] <crazy_bus> I wan't to install Jahshaka, but the latest .deb on thieir site is for dapper.  Is it alright to use on edgy? http://www.jahshaka.org/component/option,com_mamblog/Itemid,55/task,show/action,view/id,112/
[06:35] <shatrat> bootleg, for years they had only 1 single person maintaining the ATI drivers.  Theyre getting better now but theyre still nowhere near as good as nvidia or even some intel drivers
[06:35] <Pelo> evening folks
[06:35] <bootleg> oh well ill go with safe gfx and see
[06:35] <bootleg> thanks for the help
[06:35] <rredd4> how do i replace xorg.conf with the backup xorg.conf?
[06:35] <lwarimavute> I have a problem trying to install skype.... When I use the command apt-get install skype , it shows me E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? What should I do now?????
[06:35] <shatrat> MrWamu, well, if you're running linux you have a linux kernel and you hsould be able to use USB.  You may have troulbe with some USB devices though, what are you trying to do?
[06:35] <facugaich> What's the command for using perl regular expressions?
[06:35] <Flannel> facugaich: in what?
[06:35] <ziquantoma> rredd4 used mv command rather than remove
[06:35] <facugaich> Flannel, a file
[06:35] <Pelo> is there a utility to check the integrity of a HD ?  something similar to Scandisk in windows ?  I think my main hardrive might be damaged
[06:36] <MrWamu> Connect my cellphone with Ubuntu
[06:36] <ziquantoma> rredd4 i mean rename
[06:36] <Flannel> facugaich: er... sed? grep? vim?
[06:36] <nikin> lwari: did you use sudo?
[06:36] <shatrat> lwarimavute, You must already have Synaptic or the Update Manager open.  ONly one thing can install software at a time
[06:36] <Okiesmokie> Pelo: fsck
[06:36] <rredd4> ziquantoma ok
[06:36] <facugaich> Flannel, sed probably, thanks
[06:36] <ziquantoma> rredd4 so its replaced. time to reboot
[06:36] <Pelo> Okiesmokie,  thanks
[06:36] <rredd4> ziquantoma see ya soon
[06:36] <Eldrani> Ugh, still not working!
[06:36] <Eldrani> I can't restore Win98 onto my computer!
[06:36] <Eldrani> Is this permenant?
[06:36] <james296> well at least the CNR service will be available soon, then we wont have to worry about Automatix anymore, correct?
[06:37] <Flannel> Eldrani: You erased win98.  That is permanent.  You'll have to reinstall it.
[06:37] <Eldrani> yeah, ig et that
[06:37] <lwarimavute> shatrat, i just connect my computer, and i do not have synaptic or update manager now.....
[06:37] <Eldrani> But, it's not reinstalling!
[06:37] <Flannel> james296: er, we don't have to worry about automatix right now.  Just don't use it.  All the stuff is available anyway.
[06:37] <KorN[CM] > anyone know where to find repositories list on ubuntu website?
[06:37] <Pelo> later dudes
[06:37] <Flannel> !mirrors | KorN[CM]

[06:37] <rredd4> ziquantoma good thing you have a backup!
[06:37] <nikin> lwarimavut: sudo apt-get install skype
[06:37] <james296> but so far Automatix is the easiest way to install software on here!
[06:38] <james296> unless theres another solution I dont know about...
[06:38] <ziquantoma> rredd4 yep!
[06:38] <ardchoille42> !automatix | james296
[06:38] <ubotu> james296: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:38] <Flannel> james296: automatix is the easiest way to break your system.  Installing software yourself is *not* that hard.
[06:38] <Eldrani> What do I need to put in the computer to reinstall Win98?
[06:38] <Okiesmokie> Eldrani: You'd probably have better luck in #windows
[06:39] <Eldrani> ugh okay
[06:39] <Flannel> Eldrani: this is #ubuntu, you might ask #windows
[06:39] <tehbrandon> CNR iis OK, but many of the packages are hugely outdated.
[06:39] <psh> can i boot from the livecd mounted on harddrive in simple way?
[06:40] <bootleg> i got the same error

[06:40] <Okiesmokie> Does anyone here know any reasons why I might not be able to obtain an IP address from DHCP? :/
[06:40] <bootleg> and blue/gree lines underneath the logo
[06:41] <bootleg> about 4 lines going horizontal
[06:41] <KorN[CM] > anyone know where to find repositories list on ubuntu website?

[06:43] <bfdhud> Hello everyone
[06:43] <MrWamu> Anyone please help
[06:43] <bfdhud> How's it going?
[06:44] <ardchoille42> ziquantoma, In Synaptic, File -> History
[06:44] <rredd4> MrWanu ask the question
[06:44] <Flannel> bfdhud: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for general chatting.
[06:44] <ziquantoma> ardchoille42 thanks!
[06:44] <MrWamu> How do I connect my cellphone to my computer via USB
[06:44] <Spyderizer> Hey guys, got an annoying one here. Tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851&highlight=beryl got past the bit where you update the nvidia drivers. xserver's now busted. Get the no screens found error.
[06:44] <bfdhud> Flannel: I just wanted to be nice before I asked my question
[06:44] <shatrat> MrWamu, what kind of cellphone is it?
[06:45] <shatrat> Spyderizer, check ut #ubuntu-xgl
[06:45] <MrWamu> Verizon LG VX8300
[06:45] <Spyderizer> cool, thanks
[06:45] <shatrat> MrWamu, Ill do some looking around.  Odds are you'll need some special application to access your phone
[06:46] <rredd4> ziquantoma i gotta go... see ya and good luck!
[06:46] <bfdhud> Is there a way to get Ubuntu write access to a NTFS partition?
[06:46] <ziquantoma> rredd4 alright thanks for all the help
[06:46] <Flannel> !ntfs | bfdhud
[06:46] <rredd4> yw
[06:46] <ubotu> bfdhud: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:46] <MrWamu> I have bitpim.. I need USB drivers for the phone
[06:46] <cypher007> Question: at the moment i'm running a ssh server, i have a dynamic ip address (but i hv a dns address that maps to it whenever it changes), i've gone into my router and turned port-forwarding for SSH and port 22...i dont think it's recognised and how would i connect to it from a windows machine, putty?) Thanks
[06:47] <MrWamu> And whatever else I might need along the way...
[06:47] <Flannel> cypher007: yes, putty.  And... you sound like everything is in place.
[06:48] <gop> hey
[06:48] <deafboy> ardchoille42: lol k9copy works out of the box even with the ArccoS I'm dumb lol

[06:48] <ubotu> gop: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:48] <gop> it worked in dapper
[06:49] <shatrat> MrWamu, I can't really help you beyond that since I dont have that kind of cellphone.
[06:49] <ardchoille42> deafboy, Did you try xdvdshrink?
[06:49] <deafboy> ardchoille42: i couldn
[06:49] <_3fg> Hey, has anyone ever used Wallpaper Tray? I can't add directories to it for it to use.
[06:49] <deafboy> tardchoille42: couldn't tell if it was working or not?
[06:49] <glyn> is Edgy better than Dapper in your guys' opinion?
[06:49] <tonyyarusso> glyn: Depends on your usage case.
[06:49] <shatrat> glyn, the packages are newer, the bugs more surprising!
[06:49] <deafboy> ardchoille42: the percentage went way above 100% lol, i don't think i had all the dependcies though
[06:49] <glyn> I'm mainly using wine to emulate a MUD that I play, and webcams
[06:49] <glyn> that's about it
[06:50] <ardchoille42> deafboy, If you didn't have all the deps, the installer won't install it.
[06:50] <deafboy> well it was an rpm convert with alien
[06:50] <Flannel> glyn: stick with dapper, especialyl with your broken CDrom
[06:50] <tonyyarusso> glyn: I would probably recommend Dapper for servers, large deployments (businesses & schools), and users who won't be able to get help quickly (people without internet, elderly who don't want to bother, etc.), and Edgy for the rest of us.
[06:50] <shatrat> deafboy, alien causes lots and lots of problems.
[06:50] <shatrat> deafboy, its a last resort
[06:51] <ardchoille42> deafboy, alien is dangerous to use
[06:51] <ardchoille42> !alien | deafboy
[06:51] <ubotu> deafboy: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:51] <cypher007> ne1?
[06:51] <deafboy> ardchoille42: i woulda done it from .tgz but it's harder to un-install that way
[06:52] <bfdhud> about !ntfs-3g, Site says its in beta.  Is there any chance that it could damage the data on the drive? It is a backup drive and the stuff that is on it is important to me.
[06:52] <shifty> hey
[06:52] <Flannel> deafboy: if your choices are alien and tgz, alien is safer, yes.
[06:52] <shatrat> shifty, hey

[06:52] <shifty> how does 3d desktop look like ? any screenies?
[06:52] <ardchoille42> deafboy, Well, all you have to do is read the install script and you'll know what to remove.
[06:52] <shifty> tell me it looks like vista aero
[06:52] <shifty> lol
[06:52] <Flannel> bfdhud: yes.  But that's the current state of ntfs writing at the moment.  Or at least, as far as I'm aware, they're all in beta
[06:52] <seravitae> shifty:  - beryl is better than 3d desktop
[06:52] <DarthLappy> shifty: Hardly.
[06:53] <riotkittie> bfdhud: yes, there is always that risk. i cant tell you how likely/unlikely damage is, but if youre worried about data loss on that drive, dont risk it

[06:53] <deafboy> ardchoille42: true, i just wish i knew why acid rip and dvd::rip didn't work if they use the same library?
[06:53] <riotkittie> or have a backup medium for your backup medium :P
[06:53] <hyperb0lix> shifty: It's not like Vista :/
[06:53] <bfdhud> Would reformating the drive to FAT 32 be a better solution?
[06:53] <seravitae> shifty - http://seravitae.synthengine.net/uploaded/seravitae-desktop.png
[06:53] <shifty> thanks guys <3 u all
[06:53] <seravitae> that's beryl on my machine
[06:53] <shatrat> bfdhud, your windows drive, or a data partition?
[06:54] <bootleg> excuse me
[06:54] <bootleg> where can i find the ubuntu alternative installer
[06:54] <seravitae> www.ubuntu.com
[06:54] <bfdhud> its an external hard drive, I dual boot so both windows and linux need access to it
[06:54] <shatrat> bootleg, ubuntu.com, right under the normal one.
[06:54] <seb-> help! it appears apt-get upgrade killed my sound cuz 2 reboots doesn't bring it back
[06:54] <bootleg> thanks
[06:54] <ardchoille42> deafboy, Not sure they use the same libs. The problem with ARccOS is that it uses corrupted sectors on the DVD, some readers can't read them and error out.
[06:54] <seravitae> ...np.
[06:54] <shatrat> bfdhud, You can format it ext3 and then use fs-driver.org to access it from windows.  Thats what I do and quite a few others i know, much better than fat32, esp for large files
[06:55] <deafboy> ardchoille42: i hate DRM, i BOUGHT the movie?
[06:55] <deafboy> ardchoille42: it would be one thing if i was pirating it....
[06:55] <bfdhud> Thanks Shatrat, I owe you two now.
[06:55] <riotkittie> bfdhud: yeah, if its external, go with FAT32  ... granted you wont be storing files > 4GB on it
[06:55] <ardchoille42> deafboy, You bought the rights to view that DVD, you did not buy the movie. The movie belongs to the copyright holder.
[06:55] <riotkittie> oh yeah, listen to shatrat :P
[06:55] <shatrat> bfdhud, I love questions I alrady know the answer to
[06:56] <bfdhud> <3
[06:56] <ardchoille42> shatrat, hehe
[06:56] <shatrat> deafboy, try using ripit4me to rip this one, and then in the future dont buy DRMed movies :)
[06:57] <kunjan> anyone know of a 3gp video format to avi/mpg convertor?
[06:58] <deafboy> shatrat: k9copy ended up working, funny i thought it just ripped iso's LOL
[06:58] <shifty> ok i shall go watch some anime on my ubuntu , see u guys later =)
[06:58] <deafboy> shatrat: even though AcidRip and DVD::Rip didn't
[06:58] <shatrat> deafboy, Ill have to remember that if I run into something nasty in the future.  I usually use DVD::rip myself
[06:58] <Kristov> plop
[06:59] <deafboy> shatrat: Dvd::rip is awesome, it just didn't work with the stupid AcrosS movie
[07:00] <deafboy> *Arccos
[07:00] <seravitae> hm, randomly my pc has been freezing up
[07:00] <seravitae> on ubuntu
[07:00] <ardchoille42> deafboy, BTW, Sony has abandoned ARcoSS
[07:00] <seravitae> brand new pc, im not sure why. would anyone suggest some way i can find out what's causing it?
[07:00] <ardchoille42> seravitae, Does it happen after running a certain app?
[07:00] <deafboy> ardchoille42: good :)
[07:01] <shatrat> seravitae, Thats usually a graphics problem, have you installed the drivers from manufacturer?
[07:01] <gop> !emerald
[07:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:01] <shatrat> emerald is the beryl theme manager
[07:01] <gop> hey how do I get more themes in emerald
[07:01] <gop> shatrat,  how do I get more themes then defualt
[07:01] <shatrat> gop you can download some from gnome-look.org
[07:02] <gop> oh shatrat  I can't use the theme emerald theme manager
[07:02] <gop> to download
[07:02] <bootleg> ok
[07:02] <bootleg> i figured out whats wrong
[07:02] <bootleg> i gotta use alternative installer
[07:03] <bootleg> then ctrl alt f1, login , and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <bootleg> go to defaults, pick mesa, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <bootleg> then dl http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[07:03] <shatrat> gop, use a web brwoser to download them?
[07:03] <bootleg> because i have an ati card
[07:03] <bootleg> =\
[07:03] <seravitae> ardchoille42: well, it froze just then when i was in firefox going to a new page.
[07:04] <seravitae> network stuff has been a 'bit dodgy' i have noticed too
[07:04] <shatrat> why run nvidia scripts if you have an ATI card?
[07:04] <hazem> hello i /j #Ubuntu+1
[07:04] <M1> Hello?
[07:04] <hazem> ops
[07:04] <M1> Yes, it worked!
[07:04] <seravitae> shatrat: i have installed nvidia drivers, but not the beta ones. still my drivers are quite old but i can't figure out how to install the new ones - the repository was down last time i checked
[07:04] <shatrat> seravitae, well, Flash is pretty buggy in linux still, although adobe recently released a new Flash9
[07:04] <seravitae> i dont have flash installed
[07:05] <shatrat> seravitae, well, if you have working drivers the version doesnt matter much, that was just a thought, if you often have the problem while using flash try updating that
[07:05] <shatrat> !flash9|seravitae
[07:05] <ubotu> seravitae: Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[07:05] <M1> Ok, nowathen...I'm having problems installing VMWare. I have it extracted into /tmp but when I try to use 'cd vmware-server-distrib' it says no such file or directory exists. And I run the script right inside the VMWare folder and it does nothing
[07:05] <seravitae> i dont have flash installed as far as i know
[07:05] <David_33> flash 9 runs  great on my ubuntu
[07:06] <seravitae> my pc did do something ultra wierd the other day though
[07:06] <seravitae> ubuntu froze
[07:06] <seravitae> when i rebooted it wouldn't go past POST.
[07:06] <shatrat> seravitae, Flash9 is a new version that just came out recently, fixed a lot of bugs with sound and crashing (although mine still crashes, at least theyre trying)
[07:06] <bootleg> because you touch yourself at night
[07:06] <bootleg> lol, j/p
[07:06] <shatrat> seravitae, oh snap, sounds like hardware.
[07:06] <seravitae> until i took the power cable out of my cdrom drive
[07:06] <bootleg> its just the name of the page
[07:06] <seravitae> it is a 400w PSU so i am going to get a bigger one
[07:06] <seravitae> i think that might be the cause of the instability.
[07:06] <bootleg> anybody know anywhere i can get a... $100 pentium 4?
[07:06] <bootleg> full computer
[07:07] <bootleg> or a $200
[07:07] <M1> Can anyone help me install VMWare?
[07:07] <Juranamo> The classifieds?
[07:07] <shatrat> bootleg, tigerdirect has some on sale for fairly cheap. Dont know about that cheap
[07:07] <Juranamo> Don't know if you can even put one together from parts of NewEgg with a P4 @ $200 unless you want to settle for onboard video.
[07:07] <shatrat> classifieds would probably be a better idea, lots of decent stuff out there that just needs formatted
[07:07] <riotkittie> bootleg: if you live in a city, or close enough to one, try craigslist
[07:07] <bootleg> well
[07:07] <David_33> bootleg, p4's arent that old yet
[07:07] <bootleg> i want onboard video..
[07:07] <bootleg> its gonna be a 1u server
[07:08] <bootleg> it would actually be cheaper parting it together
[07:08] <bootleg> but i want something sweat shop built
[07:08] <bootleg> lol..
[07:08] <Juranamo> I take it back, it's entirely possible.
[07:08] <riotkittie> also, if you search yahoo you may find a buy/sell group in your area
[07:08] <Juranamo> Wouldn't trust TD knowing their rebate program and all of its chinks.
[07:08] <bootleg> ew
[07:08] <bootleg> td's rebates are bs
[07:08] <bootleg> xd
[07:08] <Juranamo> Yeah, though I've only bought two items from 'em and had no problems with the MIRs.
[07:08] <riotkittie> i was gonna buy a dell something or other for like $75 earlier but. :\
[07:09] <bootleg> i hope i win this auction on this cisco router
[07:09] <bootleg> =(, should have passed it to the right to me riot
[07:09] <bootleg> well.. if it was new atleast
[07:09] <hazem> i got error when i try to open wifi-reader http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3055/
[07:09] <Juranamo> There's cheap S939/754 Semprons still on NewEgg.
[07:09] <hazem> can any one please help me !!!
[07:09] <riotkittie> ive never bought anything from them  but i've heard enough horror stories to steer clear of TD
[07:09] <Juranamo> I think a straight A64 3000+ S939 only costs USD $65 nowadays though.
[07:09] <seravitae> shatrat: you dont know of any err. software that like, "tests all of your computer' per se. see if i can find out what is crashing it.
[07:10] <pe3r> what can you do with your box other than firewall, webserver, router, etc?
[07:10] <getut> Please help.. I was following instructions on wiki page for tweaking (specifically the DMA for CDROM section) and now my PS2 mouse and keyboard are cycling on and off every 10-20 seconds or so
[07:10] <Juranamo> Still cheaper than a Pentium D805, those are $80 min.
[07:10] <bootleg> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116231 does that have HT? o_O it doesnt list it in specs

[07:11] <Juranamo> A paperweight is fine, too.
[07:12] <bootleg> you can use it as a download server so you dont have to keep your main comp on
[07:12] <bootleg> which might take morep ower
[07:12] <bootleg> then transfer it over on a high gigabit line overu r router
[07:12] <pe3r> that's what im doing right now
[07:12] <bootleg> like 100mb

[07:15] <pe3r> no money for you
[07:15] <gop> is thier a program

[07:15] <bootleg> hey, does anybody know where i can get the CHEAPEST dell computers but new?
[07:15] <bootleg> like the cheapest on dell.com is $359
[07:15] <Flannel> gop: gdesklets has something like that.

[07:15] <Flannel> bootleg: please take your conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[07:15] <pe3r> i was gonna say dell.com
[07:16] <pe3r> or ebay
[07:16] <bootleg> wow, all dell comps come with vsita now aye
[07:16] <bootleg> how stupid
[07:16] <Juranamo> gop: You can use a widget engine like gdesklets or look into a standalone like Cairo-Dock.
[07:16] <gop> Juranamo,  can I download Cairo-Dock
[07:16] <gop> like apt
[07:16] <Juranamo> Unless you're using QT apps (ie: KDE/Kubuntu), which case there are other cute little options dock-wise.
[07:17] <cryosphere> hey, i think my install of xubuntu is broken
[07:17] <gop> hmm gnome
[07:17] <pe3r> i bought a $63 computer, p3 1.0ghz X 2. no memory, no harddrive.
[07:17] <pe3r> and i added memory, that's another $20
[07:17] <bootleg> pe3r
[07:17] <bootleg> whered ya find that

[07:17] <bootleg> bleh
[07:17] <cryosphere> I installed with the alternative cd  and now my box doesnt recognize any usb devices or connect to the internet
[07:17] <Juranamo> gop: Never used, there's a thread on the forum about compiling it from source. Which doesn't look too hard, just having to put up with dep hell. There might be a deb floating around.
[07:17] <bootleg> was it all dusty and nasty? lol
[07:17] <pe3r> seriously
[07:18] <pe3r> not really
[07:18] <pe3r> well it worth the price
[07:18] <Juranamo> There could be a package mentioned near the end of the thread for all I know, only visit the forum every full moon.
[07:18] <Flannel> !players | jakesterz, they all do

[07:18] <KorN[CM] > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2057713
[07:18] <jakesterz> I keep getting error when i use rhythmbox
[07:19] <Asc> jakesterz: lmms, banshee, and amarok are decent.  Some of them might need spare codecs to do it though.
[07:19] <cryosphere> i tried reinstalling late last night, but same have the same problems, can't connect to the internet, but when I start the cd it can get an IP from my dhcp service just fine
[07:19] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : what do you need help with?
[07:19] <gop> Juranamo,  thanks
[07:19] <bootleg> are there like, any cheap cpus that are worth more then you pay for them
[07:19] <bootleg> so i can make some entry level racks
[07:20] <jakesterz> the GStreamer plugins to decode "mp3" files cannot...

[07:20] <KorN[CM] > thats exactly my problem
[07:20] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : I read it.  What do you have questions with?
[07:20] <Flannel> !mp3 | jakesterz

[07:20] <pe3r> pentium, of course

[07:21] <yehbaby> hi im a noob to ubuntu, trying to play avi files
[07:21] <jakesterz> hrm..
[07:21] <bootleg> 64?
[07:21] <pe3r> are you trying to build a new system?
[07:21] <Juranamo> I think you would be better off with a cheap A64 X2 than a dual-P4.

[07:21] <bootleg> i'm not doing multimedia
[07:21] <jakesterz> when i log in i hear sounds.. how do i know if my sound card is fully functioning?
[07:21] <bootleg> i want it for a game server etc.
[07:21] <jakesterz> is there a test?
[07:21] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : just make sure you have that version (2.4-1ubuntu12.3)
[07:21] <bootleg> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819112207 , can taht hold 64 slots on cs source 64 tick?
[07:22] <redwyrm> what GStreamer plugins do I need to make Serpentine be able to burn mp3s?
[07:22] <bootleg> or is it as good as a p4?
[07:22] <Juranamo> Weee, done upgrading from Edgy repos to Feisty. Time to restart. X)

[07:22] <pe3r> not bad
[07:22] <bootleg> do you run any gameservers on it pe3r
[07:22] <yehbaby> having trouble understanding this
[07:23] <yehbaby> Open Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager).  In Settings -> Repositories, make sure you have a "universe"  repository activated.
[07:23] <bootleg> like, i have a p4 4 year old vaio sitting right next to me
[07:23] <Flannel> pe3r, bootleg, please take it elsewhere.  #ubuntu-offtopic is a nice place, there are plenty of other places for you as well.  thanks.
[07:23] <bootleg> but its dusty up the ass and i dont feel like messing with its steel case
[07:23] <pe3r> no, just a webserver
[07:23] <yehbaby> i cant find the repository
[07:23] <shifty> i help a bit of help
[07:23] <shatrat> shifty, shoot.
[07:23] <shifty> i nid to know if i can force xine player to run only 1 instance
[07:23] <KorN[CM] > flannel
[07:23] <KorN[CM] > did upgrade & update, nothing updated
[07:23] <pe3r> any p4 should be enough
[07:23] <KorN[CM] > however, when I turned on server this morning there were updates which installed
[07:24] <KorN[CM] > now, how do I check version?
[07:24] <Asc> yehbaby: you can't find the 'repositories' entry under the 'settings' menu?
[07:24] <yehbaby> hi, what do people use here to play avi files
[07:24] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , lsb_release -a
[07:24] <shatrat> yehbaby, I like mplayer or vlc
[07:25] <CiscoJones> vlc medi player
[07:25] <Asc> yehbaby: mplayer's great, if you like the command line
[07:25] <jakesterz> shoot thanks for those links
[07:25] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : apt-cache show libc6, there's a "version" line
[07:25] <jakesterz> got my mp3 playin' jimi hendrix!
[07:25] <yehbaby> im to new for command line stuff
[07:25] <shifty> damn no settings to allow xine to run a single instance only
[07:26] <yehbaby> im trying to get vlc up and running but a bit lost in the instructions
[07:26] <pe3r> i used to use xine
[07:26] <CiscoJones> yehbaby if you don't want to use the command line then go with VLC
[07:26] <IcemanV9> wth?! Alacarte didn't do diddy! i modified some wording & icons. it didn't changed at all! :(
[07:26] <pe3r> or zine
[07:26] <Asc> yehbaby: Probably VLC's the best bet then.
[07:26] <pe3r> xine*
[07:26] <yehbaby> i installed ubuntu today so everything is new
[07:27] <shifty> hey pe3r do u have this problem
[07:27] <shifty> when u open 2 video wif xine @ the same time it hangs

[07:27] <Marupa> is there a way to, under console mode (no X), install ubuntu from livecd or do you just have to burn and boot?
[07:27] <pe3r> same happened to me shifty
[07:27] <shifty> any fix?
[07:27] <pe3r> i don't know
[07:27] <Flannel> Marupa: nope, get the alternate CD to do that
[07:28] <Marupa> or is it worth it to have a livecd laying around/

[07:30] <yehbaby> i followed instructions in vlc up to this point then it doesnt seem to make sense  i got to setting >repositories in software preferences it says to make sure you have a "universe"  repository activated. what the hell is that
[07:30] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : you may need to wait for the update to propagate through the mirrors
[07:30] <shifty> how about gxine
[07:31] <Flannel> yehbaby: Community Maintained.  Uh, it should say universe in there somewhere though.
[07:31] <shifty> so shat any fixes?
[07:31] <KorN[CM] > ok any idea how long that will take?
[07:32] <yehbaby> in that channels list?
[07:33] <Asc> uh
[07:33] <yehbaby> should i just tick all of them a few have the word universe next to them
[07:33] <Asc> I can't find any reference to channels in synaptic
[07:33] <Flannel> yehbaby: I really haven't the foggiest.  I haven't had a GUI in two years.  It'll be a list of repositories.  main/restricted will already be enabled.
[07:33] <Flannel> Asc: software properties
[07:34] <Asc> yehbaby: Yes, you're looking for the one/s with 'universe' next to them
[07:34] <yehbaby> i guess i can do the cmd line stuff then
[07:34] <yehbaby> ok the most basic question ever
[07:34] <yehbaby> how do i bring up the cmd box?
[07:35] <Asc> applications->utilities->terminal
[07:35] <Asc> utilities == accessories
[07:35] <Asc> haven't used gnome in a while
[07:35] <shifty> xine hangs up my system when i open 2 video files, is there a way to run xine as single instance?
[07:35] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : not really.  Depends I imagine.  No real need to worry about it though.  It'll happen soon enough
[07:35] <james296> what can I do to check to see if Automatix broke any system files? I already removed it and also its folders
[07:36] <KorN[CM] 2> flannel it means I cant use any raid (dmraid)
[07:36] <KorN[CM] 2> so is this a widespread problem
[07:36] <Flannel> KorN[CM] 2: change your repositories to the main ones (archive.ubuntu.com), they should be up to date all the time
[07:37] <KorN[CM] 2> ok can u help me with that?
[07:37] <Flannel> james296: nothing really.  If everything seems to work, then that's all the confirmation you need, or can get.
[07:37] <Flannel> KorN[CM] 2: sure, pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)
[07:38] <shifty> how do i register codec for vlc player?
[07:38] <rubikfreak> what codec?
[07:38] <shifty> !vlc
[07:38] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[07:38] <shifty> all kinds
[07:38] <rubikfreak> i think most codecs are installed automatically, right?
[07:38] <KorN[CM] 2> k hangon
[07:38] <shifty> i have this video that plays on xine with sound
[07:38] <yehbaby> i ticked all the options with the word universe in them
[07:39] <sandy16> how to conect to internet using mobile GPRS connectivity?
[07:39] <shifty> but when i use vlc to play it, it has sound but no video
[07:39] <Flannel> yehbaby: that should do it.
[07:39] <yehbaby> im guessing this allows some sort of auto update to happen
[07:39] <Flannel> yehbaby: well, you need to go to syanptic, and hit "refresh"
[07:39] <Flannel> yehbaby: but yeah.
[07:39] <rubikfreak> shifty: that's odd
[07:39] <rubikfreak> maybe you should reinstall?
[07:40] <shifty> hmm
[07:40] <shatrat> thats a bit extreme
[07:40] <shatrat> shifty, you might need to fiddle in the preferences for VLC, sound prefs or codec prefs.
[07:40] <shifty> i hate xine now
[07:40] <shifty> it keeps hanging my system
[07:40] <sandy16> how can use cell phone as modem?
[07:40] <KorN[CM] 2> flannel
[07:40] <KorN[CM] 2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3056/
[07:40] <yehbaby> i do like this though it feels kinda fresh and fast running ubuntu on a old amd box
[07:41] <shatrat> sandy16, I dont know.  If nobody responds that usually means nobody has ever used what youre asking about.
[07:41] <rubikfreak> i don't think a reinstall of vlc is that hard.
[07:41] <shatrat> ah, I thought you meant reinstall ubuntu
[07:41] <rubikfreak> woah
[07:41] <rubikfreak> no way
[07:41] <rubikfreak> i mean
[07:41] <rubikfreak> sudo apt-get remove vlc && sudo apt-get install vlc
[07:41] <shatrat> That wont change the configs most of the time, in the user direcotry
[07:41] <shifty> k will try
[07:42] <rubikfreak> or would leave the same settings
[07:42] <rubikfreak> oh yeah
[07:42] <shifty> o.O
[07:42] <shifty> -.-"
[07:42] <rubikfreak> what is it
[07:42] <shifty> :(
[07:42] <Flannel> KorN[CM] 2: wow.  Something ate that up.  Anyway, in that list you see a bunch of "http://us.archive.com/some other stuff/yadda/yadda/ just remove the 'us.' so it reads http://archive.ubuntu.com/some other stuff/yadda/yadda
[07:42] <rubikfreak> sudo apt-get purge vlc?
[07:42] <Flannel> apt-get remove --purge [whatever] 
[07:43] <rubikfreak> shifty: i would try doing
[07:43] <rubikfreak> sudo apt-get remove vlc
[07:43] <rubikfreak> then go to your home directory
[07:43] <rubikfreak> and assuming you're in nautilus
[07:43] <rubikfreak> (if that's the correct way to say it)
[07:43] <KorN[CM] > flannel how do I actually edit using ssh
[07:43] <rubikfreak> you go Ctrl+H and you can view hidden files
[07:43] <IcemanV9> !enter
[07:43] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:44] <yehbaby> tried refresh in system supository and get this error E: Type 'http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/' is not known on line 33 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:44] <yehbaby> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[07:44] <shifty> den rubik?
[07:44] <rubikfreak> look for something like .vlc, I think. then you could go "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[07:44] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : `sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list` then edit it, then ^O (ctrl-O) to save and ^X to exit
[07:44] <rubikfreak> maybe that would work
[07:45] <shasan> has anyone had an issue where the partitioner hangs after you select the partition size?
[07:45] <Flannel> yehbaby: you need to have "deb" infront of that.
[07:45] <Flannel> yehbaby: open up /etc/apt/sources.list and ... fix that. However that managed to get screwed up
[07:46] <KorN[CM] > ok donef lannel
[07:46] <KorN[CM] > now sudo update
[07:46] <Flannel> yehbaby: correct form is "deb url version repository"  (version is edgy or dapper, repository is main or... whatever plf names theirs)
[07:46] <KorN[CM] > sudo upgrade?
[07:46] <Flannel> KorN[CM] : yeah, update then upgrade
[07:46] <bfdhud> So shatrat, I decided to go with your suggestion; however, How do I format my external drive to ext3?
[07:46] <shifty> doesn't work :(
[07:46] <shifty> xine is good, but it hang :(
[07:47] <rubikfreak> bfdhud: you could use gparted to format if that is what you are asking
[07:47] <rubikfreak> shifty: hmmm
[07:47] <MotorCityMadMan> kontact is starting on bootup, i cannot seem to find the settings to stop kontact from starting up. Any ideas to stop kontact ?
[07:47] <bfdhud> Rubifreak, I loaded gparted but i'm too drunk.. er dumb to figure out how to format with it.
[07:48] <rubikfreak> ok, let me see...
[07:48] <yehbaby> flannel were do i update that?
[07:48] <computer13137> Hey... I need help with something.  I have the Edgy Eft i386 kernel installed right now, and would like to upgrade to i686, as I have been told it will boost my system's performance.  What packages am I supposed to apt-get to accomplish this?
[07:48] <KorN[CM] > seems to be a bit better
[07:48] <KorN[CM] > lets see
[07:48] <Flannel> computer13137: linux-generic
[07:48] <shasan> does anyone have any suggestions on what to do if the partitioner in the installer freezes up?
[07:48] <computer13137> Flannel: And that will magically install i686?  OK, I'll take your word for it.
[07:48] <shifty> ok
[07:49] <shifty> basically the problem is that vlc can't show video that is encoded using window media codec
[07:49] <rubikfreak> bfdhud: is your drive recognized, or do you know which one it is like hda, sda, etc?
[07:49] <Pie-rat1> are there any GOOD DVD players for linux? Everything i've tried (VLC, gxine, mplayer, totem) looks TERRIBLE. The deinterlacing simply doesn't work and it looks all lowres and crappy. Running windvd on windows, it looks great.
[07:49] <bootleg> install time
[07:49] <computer13137> Flannel: Do I have to change anything in sources.list first?
[07:49] <Flannel> computer13137: It won't install 686, as that doesn't exist anymore in edgy.  Edgy uses a -generic kernel, for all of them.  It also has a -386 specific kernel as well.
[07:49] <Flannel> computer13137: nope
[07:49] <computer13137> Flannel: OK thanks.  :)
[07:49] <deafboy> for some reason my ubuntu install is huge, takin up 35 gigs, even though my home folder is 12 gigs, anyone know what else it could be lol?
[07:49] <shifty> basically the problem is that vlc can't show video that is encoded using window media codec <--- any idea guys ?
[07:49] <computer13137> linux-generic is already the newest version.
[07:49] <computer13137> Hmm... OK then.  :)
[07:49] <computer13137> lol
[07:50] <computer13137> I guess I don't even know what I'm running on my PC.  lol... I'm new to linux, sorry.  :P  Thanks for your help regardless.  ;)
[07:50] <shifty> but i do have the Windows media codec installed
[07:50] <Flannel> computer13137: then you already have it.
[07:50] <Flannel> computer13137: no worries.  You've already got the kernel you want
[07:50] <bfdhud> yeah, its an NTFS external HD, I dual boot and have been reading off of it for a while now, I am using ubuntu more than Windows now, So I need write access to it. After asking here it was suggested that I format the drive to ext3 then use a program called fs-driver to give windows access to ext3
[07:50] <computer13137> Cool.  Thanks anyways!  bbl
[07:50] <shifty> rubikfreak, basically the problem is that vlc can't show video that is encoded using window media codec <--- any idea guys ?
[07:50] <riotkittie> deafboy: downloaded packages?
[07:51] <shasan> can anyone help me out with a partitioning issue? i am trying to install edgy onto my external drive and the installer will not partition it.
[07:51] <rubikfreak> shifty: hold on one second
[07:51] <Flannel> shasan: gparted wont work?
[07:51] <deafboy> riotkittie: that's a lot of friggin programs lol
[07:51] <n3rdism> icanhascheezburger.com is the shit
[07:51] <rubikfreak> bfdhud: ok, go up top where you can switch between drives and go to your external hardrive if it is not like that already
[07:51] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | n3rdism
[07:51] <ubotu> n3rdism: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:52] <shasan> flannel: no, i had it resize the existing partition and use the free space, but it freezes up at that point
[07:52] <kalessin> Got a question which may be unusual. I need to get an X-display on an Ubuntu server in order to use gnome-web-photo for screenshotting. What the minimal way to get an X-display available?
[07:52] <bfdhud> rubifreak. I'm already looking at dev/sdc (the extern drive)
[07:52] <riotkittie> deafboy: yeah, but ... if youve install a lot of things,  you might recover some space via sudo apt-get clean ... then again, maybe not :P
[07:52] <Kr0ntab> you know you're a geek when you connect to a Linux server from a blackberry ssh client, and burn a DVD ISO with growisofs... just to say you did.
[07:52] <IcemanV9> deafboy: sudo aptitude autoclean - it should free up some disk space
[07:53] <riotkittie> Kr0ntab: i hate you. and your blackberry. <weep> :P
[07:53] <Kr0ntab> hehe...
[07:53] <KorN[CM] > flannel
[07:53] <rubikfreak> bfdhud: right-click on each partition and click delete until you are left with just a giant amount of unallocated space (all of your external hard drive)

[07:55] <shifty> ok
[07:55] <bfdhud> rubifreak it is one giant NTFS partition, When I right click everything is greyed out except Unmount, manage flags, information
[07:55] <shifty> i use gxine
[07:55] <shifty> solves all the problem
[07:55] <shifty> =)
[07:55] <rubikfreak> ahah, so is it mounted then?
[07:55] <bfdhud> yes
[07:56] <bfdhud> I can read off of it
[07:56] <bfdhud> just cant write
[07:56] <rubikfreak> you wanted to format it though, right?
[07:56] <rubikfreak> so it's clean with ext3?
[07:56] <bfdhud> I just want linux to have full access to it
[07:56] <shifty> thanks rubik :)
[07:56] <rubikfreak> oh no problem, shifty :)
[07:56] <bfdhud> without having to use beta packages that could cost me my porn collection
[07:56] <shifty> gxine > xine
[07:57] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | bfdhud
[07:57] <ubotu> bfdhud: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:57] <rubikfreak> bfdhud: what do you mean, beta packages?
[07:57] <bfdhud> rubifreak someone had suggested NTFS-3g, but that package is beta and I dont want to lose the info on this drive
[07:57] <Kr0ntab> bfdhud, ntfs-3g works fantastic...
[07:58] <shifty> the linux experience :) brb rr
[07:58] <rubikfreak> you mean you want write access without formatting it; you want all of your data still there?
[07:58] <KorN[CM] 2> flannel
[07:58] <bfdhud> I just want write the ability to write on it with minimal risk, the only catch is I need it to be usable by both linux and windows
[07:58] <KorN[CM] 2> did u get the error message?
[07:59] <bfdhud> er minus that first write
[07:59] <Kristov> then turn it to FAT32 bfdhud
[07:59] <bfdhud> Kr0ntab have you lost any data due to NTFS-3g
[07:59] <deafboy> anyone know how to remove vmware server? it was .tgz file
[08:00] <rubikfreak> bfdhud: i would get out of gparted and use something like ntfs-3g to add the ability to write to it
[08:00] <bfdhud> thanks guys I'll try NTFS-3g then
[08:00] <Kr0ntab> bfdhud, no I have not... on 4 different systems....  I also copy, move, delete, rename many files... large an small.. including large dvd iso's back and forth between ntfs and ext3...
[08:01] <kelsin> Yeah on the site they mention it's beta due to other features, but during all test they havn't had an error
[08:01] <shifty> =)
[08:01] <shatrat> !worksforme|bfdhud
[08:01] <ubotu> bfdhud: 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.
[08:01] <bfdhud> I was just worried to use a beta package, when the site says "Could cause data loss"
[08:01] <shifty> i am back

[08:01] <shifty> shat : i just went from xine to gxine and it solves the problem =)

[08:08] <M1> Can anyone help me with my installation of VMWare? I'm having nothing but problems so far.
[08:09] <KorN[CM] 2> Iceman
[08:09] <RawSewage> hello.  anyone know how to use vlc in eMule for video preview
[08:10] <IcemanV9> !vmware > M1
[08:10] <KorN[CM] 2> Iceman can I paste it for you
[08:10] <M1> I've reviewed the guides to install, but it says I have a previous version installed
[08:10] <IcemanV9> !paste | KorN[CM] 2
[08:10] <ubotu> KorN[CM] 2: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:11] <IcemanV9> M1: is there an instruction on how to remove it?
[08:11] <KorN[CM] 2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3060/
[08:11] <M1> Um, not that I saw
[08:12] <M1> I just uninstalled the vmware player package
[08:12] <M1> But I don't think it's that
[08:12] <rubikfreak> KorN[CM] 2: i saw an instance of that on the forums and the problem was solved by a reboot.
[08:12] <KorN[CM] 2> hmm
[08:12] <KorN[CM] 2> will try now.
[08:12] <rubikfreak> ok
[08:12] <rubikfreak> KorN[CM] 2: come back when you are done :)
[08:13] <M1> Hang on, just a sec, I'ma try something
[08:13] <seravitae> hm, should watching a divx/xvid movie in VLC under ubuntu edgy use 50% of a core2duo cpu?
[08:14] <seravitae> that seems pretty excessive.
[08:14] <M1> A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
[08:14] <M1> Failure
[08:14] <M1> Execution aborted.
[08:14] <rubikfreak> seravitae, it might depend on your graphics settings or something
[08:14] <rubikfreak> i'm not sure, but it's a guess
[08:15] <seravitae> hm
[08:15] <rubikfreak> KorN: did it work?
[08:15] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] 2: it looks fine .. hope rubikfreak's suggestion resolve it

[08:17] <needhel1> I am having problems trying to install fluxbox.  Anyone out there that can help?
[08:17] <shatrat> kenthomson, Why not just use azureus like the rest of the civilized world?  Im not real familiar with ktorrent
[08:17] <shatrat> kenthomson, or you could use ctrl + shift
[08:17] <kenthomson> shatrat, that piece of SHIT IS BROKEN
[08:18] <KorN[CM] > is it bad to run ssh on port 22 (default) - security wise?
[08:18] <kenthomson> shatrat, doesn't work

[08:18] <ubotu> kenthomson: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:18] <shatrat> for someone who helped write unix you are unimpressive so far.
[08:18] <kenthomson> DAMN
[08:18] <needhel1> Anyone?  I have some really basic questions that I need answered.  Please?
[08:18] <kenthomson> aint funny
[08:18] <rubikfreak> needhel1: just a moment
[08:18] <tonyyarusso> needhel1: Just ask and see.

[08:19] <aalhamad> anybody can help me with how to creat swf files ?
[08:20] <shatrat> aalhamad, .swf is proprietary, I dont think any open source programs can create them
[08:20] <tonyyarusso> needhel1: You're trying to install fluxbox with Synaptic, right?  What seems to be the problem?
[08:20] <kelsin> aalhamad: do you mean converting video to swf or using flash
[08:20] <kenthomson> DAMN
[08:20] <kelsin> shatrat: swf is "open" as in it's legal to create
[08:20] <aalhamad> both..
[08:20] <rubikfreak> needhel1: open up a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and have a look at this article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/installing-fluxbox-on-ubuntu-linux/
[08:20] <shatrat> kelsin, I wasnt aware of that.  Is it the creation of a viewer that they have restricted?
[08:20] <kelsin> shatrat: funny, it's illegal to write a player :) but not to write swf files (hence ming, the php swf creation program and stuff)
[08:21] <kelsin> shatrat: yes lol :)
[08:21] <aalhamad> i mean i can creat a normal swf video..
[08:21] <shatrat> kelsin, That makes perfect sense...
[08:21] <Tox> how do i know what application is using internet traffic at the moment ?
[08:21] <kelsin> alindeman: there is no "Flash" equivalent to swf, as far a video convertors I honestly don't know :-(
[08:21] <KorN[CM] > iceman?
[08:21] <kelsin> aalhamad: "Flash"equivalent for linux I mean (sorry fo rthe wrong name too)
[08:22] <IcemanV9> korN[CM] : yes?
[08:22] <aalhamad> then i can we creat a video?
[08:22] <aalhamad> then how to creat a video?

[08:23] <yehbaby> no idea at all
[08:23] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : yes. looks like it's the server side for the moment.
[08:23] <KorN[CM] > ah crap

[08:24] <rubikfreak> KorN[CM] : i believe icemanV9 is correct. i had trouble before where things were going ~100 bytes/second
[08:24] <rubikfreak> it was not pretty
[08:24] <vega-> hmm, where's "run command.." in gnome?
[08:24] <nexous> ctrl f2
[08:24] <kelsin> nexous: you type that into a terminal, replace myphpadmin with any package name you're looking for (or a piece of one)
[08:25] <nexous> thought it was ctrl f2..
[08:25] <nexous> not working for mah..
[08:25] <yehbaby> im assuming there is something wrong with this address but how do i change it and were do i change it /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:25] <kelsin> nexous: or you can run synaptic from the System->Admin menu and use the gui search functions there
[08:25] <IcemanV9> KORN[CM] : where are you at?
[08:25] <vega-> nope, it's not
[08:25] <KorN[CM] > im in australia
[08:25] <nexous> I was going to look in Synaptic but there were updates going, so i can't access it yet.
[08:25] <yehbaby> happy australia day
[08:25] <IcemanV9> korN[CM] : au. would be good choice
[08:25] <KorN[CM] > ok
[08:26] <rubikfreak> that is what i was thinking
[08:26] <rubikfreak> even if your current setup starts working again, au. would greatly improve things for you in the long run
[08:26] <KorN[CM] > ok
[08:26] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : it would be au.archive.ubuntu.com ....
[08:26] <KorN[CM] > but im unsure onwhere to find au mirrors
[08:26] <KorN[CM] > ah OK
[08:26] <KorN[CM] > for all of them?
[08:27] <rubikfreak> are you in gedit?
[08:27] <IcemanV9> yeah

[08:29] <M1> Is ok.
[08:29] <KorN[CM] > done
[08:29] <rubikfreak> ok
[08:29] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , us.archive.ubuntu is in the US, au.archive.ubuntu is in Australia.  They have the same stuff on em, but one is gonna be lots slower for you
[08:29] <rubikfreak> exactly
[08:29] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , save it, exit, and then run apt-get update
[08:29] <KorN[CM] > there were no US
[08:30] <rubikfreak> really?
[08:30] <KorN[CM] > it was just archive.
[08:30] <KorN[CM] > I think someone told me to edit it before
[08:30] <shatrat> Yeah I recall reading that
[08:30] <RawSewage> so, does anyone know how to use vlc for video preview in eMule?
[08:30] <shatrat> I think the plain "archive.ubuntu.org" is also in US
[08:30] <rubikfreak> i would but au. in front of archive then, i think that would work
[08:31] <frogzoo> tbh, the au repos are dog slow, you're still better off with the us ones
[08:31] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , "ping archive.ubuntu.org" and then "ping au.archive.ubuntu.org" and notice the difference.
[08:31] <rubikfreak> KorN: you are in root meaning you have no gui?
[08:31] <KorN[CM] > yeah
[08:31] <IcemanV9> shatrat: i don't think so. i think it is based in UK where the office is at. :)
[08:31] <KorN[CM] > im using ssh
[08:32] <KorN[CM] > cant resolve au.securtity.ubuntu. com ):

[08:33] <rubikfreak> needhel1: go to the terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install fluxbox"
[08:33] <rubikfreak> i think that workds
[08:33] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : it is not exist. anyhow au.archive.ubuntu.org is alive and kicking.
[08:34] <needhel1> also, where can I get the codexs to run mp3s/avi's/wmv/mpegs?
[08:34] <KorN[CM] > trying again now

[08:34] <chronos76> is there a 64 bit postgresql 8.2.1 .deb package for ubuntu?

[08:35] <KorN[CM] > no errors this time
[08:35] <mocoloco> anyone have a good tutorial on how to set up a ubuntu file server???
[08:35] <KorN[CM] > but did anything update?
[08:35] <needhel1> what if it isnt found using sudo apt-get install fluxbox?
[08:35] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , update just gets the latest list of packages. use apt-get upgrade to upgrade them

[08:36] <nexous> Thanks.
[08:36] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : then you ARE updated. :)
[08:36] <Daverocks> mocoloco: have you tried googling for it? ;)
[08:36] <tonyyarusso> mocoloco: What sort of server?  FTP?
[08:36] <KorN[CM] > problem is
[08:36] <KorN[CM] > when I do
[08:36] <KorN[CM] > apt-get install dmraid
[08:36] <KorN[CM] > its not the latest version
[08:36] <KorN[CM] > definitely NOT

[08:37] <shatrat> Well there could be something keeping dmraid from working other than it being out of date.  I'm not familiar with it myself though
[08:37] <IcemanV9> !dmraid

[08:37] <KorN[CM] > hmm
[08:38] <KorN[CM] > Im sure I used a different version when I had it working
[08:38] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : is 0.9.9 the version?
[08:38] <KorN[CM] > the horde one I think

[08:38] <mocoloco> i found one.. the problem is that I am a complete nood when it comes to linux.. and the fact that i have installed the server with only the command line is not helping either.. damn you windows and your graphical interface
[08:38] <KorN[CM] > mocolco I did same thing, install xfce
[08:38] <KorN[CM] > its great :)
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> mocoloco: I use vsftpd myself.
[08:38] <KorN[CM] > and doesnt use too much memory either.... :)
[08:39] <rubikfreak> xfce is cool

[08:39] <KorN[CM] > anyone here familiar with dmraid?
[08:39] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : maybe there is a solution at ubuntuforums.org or here
[08:39] <glyn> No one ever told me that I could dist upgrade simply by adding the breezy packages, this is gret
[08:39] <glyn> *great
[08:39] <KorN[CM] > hmmm dmraid is a real PITA
[08:39] <glyn> it's taking a long time to set up all the packages etc though
[08:39] <KorN[CM] > I had a linux guru helping me, we gave up, and magically it started to work
[08:39] <mocoloco> let me try it!! I am excited!!!

[08:40] <KorN[CM] > im this close to reinstalling, but too lazy ATM
[08:40] <KorN[CM] > GRRRRRRR
[08:40] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : maybe you need to "purge" dmraid, then reinstall it again ?
[08:40] <rubikfreak> that sounds correct
[08:41] <KorN[CM] > ok so is it apt-get purge dmraid?
[08:41] <KorN[CM] > ok so is it apt-get purge dmraid?
[08:41] <KorN[CM] > oops
[08:41] <rubikfreak> apt-get --purge dmraid i think
[08:41] <KorN[CM] > remove?

[08:42] <asfalt> hello all, i am accessing my ubuntu desktop remotely from and find this problem, when i reboot the ubuntu machine (having already set my remote desktop available to view and control and have set a password which works until reboot) i have to once again re-set the password before attempting to connect remotely (using vnc viewer)
[08:43] <asfalt> otherwise the password appears set, but it fails nevertheless
[08:43] <rubikfreak> well, i've got to go; it's about ~3:00 AM and I need my sleep! good bye everyone! :)
[08:43] <mocoloco> KorN[CM] ... how do i install xfce
[08:43] <mocoloco> apt-get xfce
[08:43] <mocoloco> apt-get install xfce
[08:43] <mocoloco> haha
[08:44] <mocoloco> i am just guessing
[08:44] <kelsin> of if you want the whole xubuntu: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[08:45] <krypto84sv> msg nickserv identify dani
[08:45] <nexous> Okay, I'm trying to make a shortcut on my desktop to var/www/ i go there and click Make link? but how do i move it to the desktop?
[08:46] <surgy> hello
[08:46] <surgy> i have a program i want to compile that says it requires VC6++ is there a workaround for compiling that on kubuntu?
[08:46] <shatrat> nexous, I dont think it works like that.
[08:46] <nexous> Sorry, im a n00b. How do i create a shortcut on my desktop that goes to var/www/?
[08:46] <kelsin> nexous: you can also do: ln -s /var/www ~/Desktop/www
[08:46] <kelsin> nexous: (in a terminal)
[08:47] <shatrat> nexous, oh crap it does work like that
[08:47] <nexous> ?
[08:47] <shatrat> nexous, you likely dont have write permissions to /var/www though
[08:47] <shatrat> I usually do this sort of thing through the command line, let me think a sec
[08:47] <KorN[CM] > ok ive done that iceman
[08:47] <nexous> Well which should I do, terminal command or set permissions
[08:47] <nexous> kelsin, what will that do?
[08:47] <riotkittie> heh
[08:47] <kelsin> terminal command has the same permissions problem
[08:48] <kelsin> both just create a softlink
[08:48] <nexous> k
[08:48] <shatrat> nexous, open a terminal and "cd Desktop"
[08:48] <KorN[CM] > nope still no good
[08:48] <KorN[CM] > dmraid -r:
[08:48] <KorN[CM] > root@FS:/dev/mapper# dmraid -r

[08:48] <nexous> okay.
[08:48] <yellow> why not change /var/www ownership to your username, that's it ?
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > what is a distro that has the best RAID support (feisty???)
[08:49] <shatrat> then "ln -s /var/www wwwlink
[08:49] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : it should be fine since it stated "ok", right?
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > um no
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > if its working
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > in dev/mapper there should be more than:
[08:49] <shatrat> nexous, that should make a link called "wwwlink" that points to /var/www
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > control
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > there should be 3 others from memory
[08:49] <shatrat> im gonna try it...
[08:49] <dromer> hmmm, with lsusb I can see my usb-stick automounted in the list, but I don't see it in /media/
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > or two, cant remember
[08:49] <nexous> works.
[08:49] <KorN[CM] > 2, 1 for each stripe (2 drives in the array)
[08:49] <dromer> howcowe I can't see the usb-stick in /media/ ?
[08:50] <riotkittie> dromer: is it mounted?
[08:50] <riotkittie> err.
[08:50] <nexous> any idea why my "nautilus" keeps saying it quit unexpectedly?"
[08:50] <dromer> riotkittie: it should automount shouldn't it?
[08:50] <yellow> dromer, what does mount -l give you ?
[08:50] <IcemanV9> KorN[CM] : i don't know much more about dmraid stuff. i just know about installing/removing the package
[08:50] <KorN[CM] > yeah
[08:50] <dromer> yellow: I'll paste ..
[08:50] <KorN[CM] > what is a distro that has the best RAID support (feisty???)
[08:51] <shatrat> nexous, well, you dont have permissions to write in /var as a normal user and when you use the "Make Link" option it tries to write it in current directory.  It should give an error and not crash though...thats inelegant.
[08:51] <glyn> did Feisty come out after edgy?
[08:51] <dromer> yellow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3063/
[08:51] <joseph> ,./
[08:51] <riotkittie> dromer: afaik, yes ... but your crazy newfangled usb stick technology is something with which i have no experience :P
[08:51] <glyn> hahaha
[08:51] <nexous> It created it, but its got a lock sign by it. Im guessing because of permissions
[08:51] <KorN[CM] > glyn yes
[08:51] <IcemanV9> !feisty | glyn
[08:51] <ubotu> glyn: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[08:51] <nexous> How do i set the permissions to my account(main and only one)
[08:51] <shatrat> nexous, you can click it and at least look at the directory right?
[08:51] <glyn> Oh, cool
[08:51] <dromer> riotkittie: :P, well it worked before :$ just now I don't see it anywhere ..
[08:51] <nexous> yes shatrat
[08:52] <yellow> oh wait, dromer  try mount -l | grep usb
[08:52] <yellow> that's simpler to see
[08:52] <yellow> lol
[08:52] <glyn> how long does the whole dist-upgrade process take from breezy to dapper?
[08:52] <nexous> it's set to owner, but im owner aren't i? or no?
[08:52] <dromer> yellow: procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
[08:52] <shatrat> nexous, you want to click the link and have write access?
[08:52] <glyn> and what do you guys think about Dapper compared to Edgy?  Which has better webcam support?
[08:52] <dromer> yellow: nothing else
[08:52] <creative^> .lv
[08:52] <nexous> shatrat, yes.
[08:52] <yellow> dromer, that doesn't mean you have the usb mounted
[08:52] <dromer> ok, but how can it automount ?
[08:53] <M1> riley@MRSIR:~/vmware/vmware-server-distrib$ sudo vmware-install.pl
[08:53] <M1> sudo: vmware-install.pl: command not found
[08:53] <yellow> if you do, there should be /hda/sd1 or something similar
[08:53] <yellow> uhm dromer, it does that out of the box
[08:53] <IcemanV9> M1: whereis vmware-install.pl 0R locate vmware-install.pl
[08:53] <shatrat> nexous, I think a better way would be to make a link that launches a nautilus session as root.  That way it prompts you for a password and you dont have to go changing permissions on stuff outside of your /home
[08:53] <dromer> yellow: wel apperantly not, I just booted
[08:53] <M1> In /vmware/vmware-server-distrib
[08:54] <nexous> alright, how do i go about doing that?
[08:54] <shatrat> nexous, right click your desktop and use "Create Launcher"
[08:54] <efuzzyone> hi, i have connected my ipod to the computer, but my ubuntu edgy is not detecting it as a pen drive
[08:54] <IcemanV9> M1: ha. and it cannot find its script? i hate that. try this it without "sudo"
[08:55] <efuzzyone> what do i need to do?
[08:55] <shatrat> nexous, the command should be "gksudo nautilus /var/www"  the other stuff fill in what seems appropriate to you.
[08:55] <M1> bash: vmware-install.pl: command not found
[08:55] <shmeelAway> hi, if some1 has time to help me out plz pm me, thx, should be fairly quick
[08:56] <nexous> am i running it in terminal or no
[08:56] <shatrat> nexous, no
[08:56] <M1> By all means, sleep.
[08:56] <shatrat> efuzzyone, I dont believe iPods work that way.  I think you have to sync them with an application like songbird or banshee.  I dont own one though, thank Linus.
[08:57] <mocoloco> man.. installing xfce takes for ever!!!
[08:57] <efuzzyone> shatrat: ipod also works like a pen drive on windows
[08:57] <shatrat> mocoloco, even small desktop environments are bigger than big applications
[08:58] <shatrat> efuzzyone, if yours does youre the exception not the rule
[08:58] <KorN[CM] > shatrat
[08:58] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , baby
[08:58] <KorN[CM] > do you know much about dmraid?
[08:58] <nexous> shatrat, when i click it, it shows up "do you want to run..... or display.. can i have it automatically just display it rather than having to click it?
[08:58] <efuzzyone> shatrat: its a feature of most ipods
[08:58] <shatrat> nexous, not sure, let me try it myself
[08:59] <mocoloco> is there a difference between installing ubuntu server and adding the desktop enviroment and installing ubuntu desktop?
[08:59] <nexous> okay.
[08:59] <shatrat> mocoloco, the first part is a huge pain, thats the major difference
[08:59] <shatrat> mocoloco, if youre gonna add the GUI anyway, Id just install desktop to start with
[09:00] <surgy> so no one has ever tried to compile a source that requires VC6 libraries?
[09:00] <Somebodyelse> hi
[09:00] <shmeelAway> k, so i tried installing VMware, but botched original setup. Now i i have a VMware folder in /usr/bin/ and i want to delete it, but idk how, any1 know?
[09:00] <Somebodyelse> it appears that i've lost my XFree86 DRI
[09:01] <shatrat> nexous, Do you mean asking for your password?
[09:01] <shatrat> nexous, thats kind of a feature, not a bug
[09:01] <nexous> No.
[09:02] <nexous> It's showing up "Do you want to run 'server', or display it's contents?... 'server' is an executable text file." run in terminal, display, cancel, run

[09:02] <Somebodyelse> can anybody help?
[09:02] <nexous> I want to have it automatically run, because running it, will just display the folder which i want.
[09:02] <shatrat> nexous, Hmm, hold on a sec

[09:02] <chronos76> is a non-alternate install cd has livecd too?
[09:02] <barata> for 6.10
[09:03] <nexous> I was suppose to select directory right
[09:03] <shatrat> nexous, I made a link like that and im having nothing like that.
[09:03] <nexous> as the type.
[09:03] <KorN[CM] > ok
[09:04] <nexous> what did you set the type as?
[09:04] <barata> to be concise: (1) I dont want my drive to be formatted, and (2) I dont want to use a swap partition
[09:04] <chronos76> i'm downloading non-alternate because it's only 460 MB.  alternate cd is 690 MB
[09:04] <shatrat> nexous, application
[09:04] <nexous> okay, there it is.
[09:04] <shmeelAway> no1 knows how to delete a folder in /usr/bin/ ?
[09:04] <nexous> and one other (quick, hopefully) question.
[09:04] <chronos76> does a non-alternate have livecd capabilities?
[09:04] <Somebodyelse> anybody?
[09:04] <Somebodyelse> how do i restore the direct rendering?
[09:04] <Somebodyelse> it worked before
[09:05] <nexous> Can I create a shortcut on desktop to open gedit? or does it have to be run with a file name?
[09:05] <shatrat> !binarydrivers|somebodyelse
[09:05] <ubotu> somebodyelse: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:05] <shatrat> nexous, sure, you can make a shortcut just like that to run gedit instead of nautilus as root
[09:06] <nexous> Alright, thanks.
[09:06] <Somebodyelse> i know
[09:06] <nexous> trying to get used to ubuntu, a bit different from windows :P
[09:06] <Somebodyelse> the problem is that i had it up and running before, then i tried installing counter-strike using wine
[09:07] <shatrat> Somebodyelse, I can't see how that could affect your drivers
[09:08] <barata> welcom nexous
[09:08] <Somebodyelse> it's not affecting my drivers
[09:08] <Somebodyelse> i want to get direct rendering
[09:08] <nexous> thank you.
[09:09] <fede> hi
[09:09] <barata> try kedit too nexous, I think it's better than gedit
[09:09] <shatrat> kedit is for KDE though
[09:09] <shatrat> So to install it you'd have to install a ton of KDE libraries that it runs on
[09:09] <yellow> nexous, i found myself using my ubuntu box more and more often than my laptop, which has twice the proc speed and memory
[09:09] <yellow> =)
[09:09] <shatrat> laptops promote claustrophobia
[09:10] <shmeelAway> anyone know how to delete a folder in /usr/bin/ ?
[09:10] <yellow> hehe shatrat
[09:10] <shatrat> shmeelAway, very very carefully
[09:10] <blackhole> Hey i am trying to do man read, but it says no manual entry for read
[09:10] <yellow> lol true that
[09:10] <blackhole> How can i see read man page
[09:10] <yellow> sudo rm -R /path/to/folder
[09:11] <shmeelAway> hmm
[09:11] <shmeelAway> k will try
[09:11] <yellow> is that correct ?
[09:11] <nexous> Yea, I wanted to use linux for deving now. I'm a php programmer and I really don't like windows CVS programs, etc. Plus I heard good about it all.
[09:11] <shatrat> blackhole, man page for what?>
[09:11] <blackhole> shatrat, for read
[09:11] <blackhole> http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man2/read.2.html
[09:11] <blackhole> Same as this
[09:11] <yellow> just becareful shmeelAway
[09:11] <shatrat> blackhole, oh.  well, I dont have a man page for it either if it makes you feel better
[09:12] <nexous> Yah! My LAMP server is 100% functional :D
[09:12] <shatrat> nexous, Whee!  I broke my HP camera!
[09:12] <nexous> hehe
[09:12] <shmeelAway> w00t
[09:12] <shmeelAway> thx!
[09:13] <shmeelAway> worked i think
[09:13] <yellow> :)
[09:13] <elyon> Could someone please tell me how to copy a group of directories from a CD to my HD?
[09:13] <shmeelAway> now just hope VMware will work
[09:13] <shatrat> shmeelAway, use "ls /path/to/folder" to see if its still there
[09:13] <elyon> I need to do it as root, so just using Konq wont work.
[09:13] <Somebodyelse> erms... is there a log of this discussion?
[09:13] <shmeelAway> yup, gone
[09:13] <shmeelAway> =)
[09:13] <nexous> Is there like a n00b guide to ubuntu desktop?
[09:13] <Somebodyelse> i need to refer to last friday's
[09:13] <frogzoo> elyon: cp -r /media/cdrom  /somewhere/else/
[09:13] <shatrat> elyon, you could use "kdesu konqueror" to launch a root konq process
[09:14] <elyon> nexous: I actually working on one.  I a newb that installed Ubuntu :)
[09:14] <frogzoo> nexous: F1
[09:14] <yellow> now if you  do sudo rm -R / that would be another big w00t from me
[09:14] <elyon> frogzoo: Thank you.
[09:14] <yellow> :P
[09:14] <nexous> :D
[09:14] <nexous> thanks.
[09:14] <elyon> nexous: And the docs on the Ubuntu website really help, but they dont help when you have a problem ;)
[09:14] <nexous> :-p
[09:14] <Somebodyelse> so where may i find a log?
[09:14] <elyon> yellow: Dont be mean lol
[09:15] <yellow> elyon, that's why there's google and this channel
[09:15] <nexous> Yea, I'm just a bit lost when it comes to .tar.gz....
[09:15] <shatrat> Somebodyelse, /var/log has lots of them
[09:15] <yellow> elyon, i'm just saying
[09:15] <yellow> hahaha
[09:15] <elyon> yellow: NO WOOT FOR YOU!
[09:15] <shatrat> I forgot to check woot.com!
[09:15] <yellow> =))
[09:15] <nexous> How do i really work with .tar.gz files though?
[09:15] <Somebodyelse> shatrat: i meant for this irc
[09:16] <nexous> like debian files, just click and run. How do I install .tar.gz format.
[09:16] <yellow> j/k elyon , you know i'm not that mean
[09:16] <shatrat> Somebodyelse, I really dont know.  Depends on your client I suppose?
[09:16] <elyon> yellow: You know, if you had told me that just a month ago, I would have done it...no questions asked :P
[09:16] <shatrat> nexous, you already have tar, which is all you need to extract tar.gz files
[09:17] <KorN[CM] > can someone recommend a program for monitoring cpu temps/hd temps for ubuntu?
[09:17] <yellow> nexous, just right click, extract here
[09:17] <yellow> =)
[09:17] <nexous> okay.
[09:17] <shatrat> nexous, you can also extract them with the GUI archive manager
[09:17] <yellow> or tar -zxvf etc.tar.gz
[09:17] <nexous> I can extract, but how do i actually install it?
[09:17] <shatrat> KorN[CM] , there is a command line program called "lm_sensors" which some desktop applets can use.  To configure it run "sensors-detect" and follow the instructions carefully
[09:17] <shatrat> nexous, oh, sourcecode tarballs
[09:17] <yellow> nexous, depends on what's inside, usually there's a readme
[09:18] <KorN[CM] > what about for command-line?
[09:18] <elyon> lol... so I just copied everything from /media/cdrom1/ to /home/cdrom1/   Not quite what I intended.
[09:18] <nexous> like right now, i have firefox 2.0 tar.gz extracted.
[09:18] <shatrat> nexous, try to use repositories for software whenever you can find them. If you have to install from source read this
[09:18] <shmeelAway> for VMware, should i only have a thing under application -> system tools -> VMPlayer
[09:18] <shatrat> !compiling|nexous
[09:18] <ubotu> nexous: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:18] <shmeelAway> or should there be a VMConsole there or something too?
[09:18] <shatrat> nexous, you can get firefox 2 from repos, dont remember where
[09:18] <shatrat> !firefox
[09:18] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[09:18] <shmeelAway> i just instaled the stuff from synaptic
[09:18] <shatrat> the bot makes me feel smart
[09:19] <nexous> Alright, but ill do it the source way, so i know how next time
[09:19] <shmeelAway> !vmware
[09:19] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"). For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[09:19] <shatrat> nexous, dont do firefox tht way, its harder to get updates
[09:19] <shatrat> nexous, try the xfire gaim plugin or something else that isnt available in the repos, or isnt so critical that you get updates
[09:19] <anirudha> Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to install an HP printer on ubuntu. Using CUPS doesn't work.
[09:19] <shatrat> anirudha, depends on the model.
[09:19] <nexous> okay.
[09:20] <anirudha> shatrat, Hi ... my HP printer is Deskjet 656C
[09:20] <shatrat> anirudha, moment whilst I look it up
[09:21] <nexous> So how do i find firefox 2.0 cause theres only 1.5 in package manager.
[09:21] <KorN[CM] > lols i just killed my installation
[09:21] <KorN[CM] > centos 4.4 here we come :)
[09:21] <noiano> hi everybody
[09:21] <noiano> !w32codec
[09:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:22] <anirudha> nexous, Ubuntu comes with FireFox 2.0.
[09:22] <anirudha> nexous, Ubuntu 6.10 comes with FireFox 2.0.
[09:22] <Daverocks> nexous: i don't think dapper has firefox 2.0 packages, you may either need to upgrade to edgy or there are howtos on how to install firefox 2 on dapper
[09:22] <noiano> mmm which is the right word to get infos about the w32codecs?
[09:22] <shatrat> !multimedia
[09:22] <ubotu> For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[09:22] <noiano> thanks
[09:23] <nexous> 6.06, i have 1.5 firefox
[09:23] <shatrat> anirudha, that printer uses the open source driver like mine. Im surprised it wasnt detected automatically, my printer works great.
[09:23] <yellow> noiano,  there's a win32 codecs package on ubuntulinux.nl
[09:23] <Daverocks> nexous: yuh, there aren't firefox 2 packages for dapper
[09:23] <yellow> just search on that page
[09:23] <noiano> yellow: is the latest one?
[09:23] <shatrat> anirudha, what do you see in System -> Administration -> Printing?
[09:23] <noiano> which page?
[09:23] <nexous> So i can't have 2.0? or what
[09:23] <yellow> noiano, i think so, i don't know but i haven't had a problem with any codec so far
[09:23] <yellow> ubuntulinux.nl
[09:24] <shatrat> nexous, maybe if you enable backports?  I dunno, im new to ubuntu, I used to be a suse user.
[09:24] <noiano> yellow: thanks
[09:24] <Daverocks> nexous: either get the tarball from mozilla.com/firefox and use that, or upgrade to edgy
[09:24] <anirudha> shatrat, when I try to print, it always prints out a blank page
[09:24] <nexous> alright.
[09:24] <UberPsyX> hi guys, i just installed a theme and its turning all the google boxes, etc the same colour, how can i change it so the theme doesnt affect the webpages?
[09:24] <shatrat> anirudha, wierd, let me think
[09:24] <anirudha> shatrat, btw I see Deskjet-656C Ready in the System-Admin-Printers window
[09:25] <nexous> If i create launcher and would the command be "sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl start" to start my apache?
[09:25] <anirudha> shatrat, btw, I dual boot Ubuntu and XP so the printer works fine on XP
[09:25] <noiano> yellow: ubuntulinux.nl it is not written in english...
[09:25] <shatrat> anirudha, what are you trying to print in? Try and print using a totally different application and print something else, see if it works then?  Im kind of lost here
[09:25] <gb__> hi
[09:26] <yellow> noiano,
[09:26] <yellow> #deb http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl dapper-seveas all
[09:26] <yellow> #deb-src http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl dapper-seveas all
[09:26] <noiano> yellow: i got edgy
[09:26] <yellow> ouch
[09:26] <anirudha> I tried printing something in Mozilla once, then tried printing a text editor file, then an Open Office Doc, but all fail
[09:26] <yellow> somebody else here would know better than me then
[09:26] <anirudha> shatrat, I tried printing something in Mozilla once, then tried printing a text editor file, then an Open Office Doc, but all fail
[09:26] <yellow> ^^!
[09:26] <noiano> thank u so much
[09:26] <gb__> noiano:  whats wrong?
[09:27] <noiano> i couldn't find the win32 deb
[09:27] <noiano> i found this http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/pool/edgy-seveas/extras/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[09:27] <gb__> codecs?
[09:27] <noiano> yeah
[09:27] <yellow> hehe there you go noiano
[09:28] <gb__> try mplayerhq.nu
[09:28] <yellow> from the url i think that should be it
[09:28] <noiano> gb__: the prevous link isn't ok?
[09:28] <gb__> it will work, dont see any reason y it should not
[09:28] <gb__> :)
[09:28] <noiano> ok
[09:28] <noiano> let's try :)
[09:29] <james296> anyone here know how to get the LATEST version of Wine easily?
[09:29] <gb__> good luck , me downloading it too
[09:29] <shatrat> anirudha, I can't find any info on it, im sorry
[09:29] <gb__> :)
[09:29] <yellow> unless the folks on ubuntulinux.nl are morrons and mix the two
[09:29] <yellow> haha
[09:29] <gb__> james296:  synaptic?
[09:29] <shatrat> james296, how latest? like SVN?
[09:29] <james296> version 0.9.30 latest
[09:29] <shmeelAway> hmm, ran into a roadblock trying to configure VMware
[09:29] <anirudha> shatrat, no worries, thanks for sticking with me this long, this late at night, I appreciate it =)
[09:30] <shmeelAway> at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player under "creating a VMware player image"
[09:30] <shatrat> james296, ive got 0.9.29 from the usual repo, dont know if there is an SVN repo out there
[09:30] <shmeelAway> it creates a vmdk file, but i have no clue where it is
[09:30] <james296> then how can I get it?
[09:30] <shatrat> anirudha, im surprised it doesnt work, HP is one of the few printer makers that make really good drivers.
[09:30] <gb__> james296:  hi
[09:31] <gb__> james296:  open terminal , type , sudo apt-get install wine
[09:31] <james296> I already did that
[09:31] <noiano> it works !
[09:31] <noiano> thanks all!
[09:31] <anirudha> shatrat, so are you saying that the printer should be automatically recognized using CUPS, or do I need to download a driver off the internet
[09:31] <gb__> noiano:  sweet
[09:31] <gb__> congrats
[09:32] <gb__> james296:  then what is the problem?
[09:32] <noiano> one more question: is there an embedded player to play mms stuff or other vid in firefox ?
[09:32] <gb__> noiano:  i use mplayer
[09:32] <gb__> vlc is good too
[09:32] <james296> well I herd that 0.9.30 has some major fixes...
[09:32] <shatrat> anirudha, here is the database entry for it. It uses the same driver I do. http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_656C
[09:32] <james296> and I want that version
[09:32] <james296> lol
[09:32] <shatrat> anirudha, cups isnt so much a driver as it is an interface, printing instructions
[09:32] <gb__> noiano:  fire firefox :-?
[09:33] <noiano> gb__: yes
[09:33] <gb__> noiano:  xine has plugin for firefox
[09:33] <noiano> mmm i'll have a look
[09:33] <gb__> good luck
[09:33] <gb__> :)
[09:33] <anirudha> shatrat, oh okay, thanks ... also is this the website off which you downloaded your driver?
[09:34] <shatrat> anirudha, the hpijs is included in ubuntu
[09:34] <shatrat> anirudha, if you dig in your printer config you should see it
[09:34] <gb__> noiano: u there/
[09:35] <shatrat> anirudha, YOu might check this out, no guarantees though. http://hplip.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
[09:35] <shatrat> anirudha, and that might not be the best place to install from, im looking for a repo now
[09:35] <adamwest> ... i think i'm reverting to windows D:
[09:35] <gb__> adamwest:  why?
[09:35] <noiano> gb__: yes
[09:35] <gb__> noiano:  i found the plugin
[09:35] <yellow> noiano, does that package work ?
[09:36] <gb__> it is kafeine and totem
[09:36] <gb__> not xine, sorry
[09:36] <noiano> yellow: do you mean w32codecs?yes
[09:36] <anirudha> shatrat, oh yes, btw, last week I tried installing this driver but it failed
[09:36] <adamwest> gb__: i like linux, and im getting along with it. but i depend on too many applications that only windows run:\
[09:36] <yellow> =) good thing to keep in mind when i upgrade then
[09:36] <noiano> gb__: so i should search for totem, right?
[09:36] <shatrat> anirudha, was this before or after the blank page thing? I guess its always done that?
[09:36] <gb__> adamwest: kool,
[09:37] <yellow> adamwest, like which one?
[09:37] <M1> Ok, I made some progress on the front of getting vmware installed...now I have this problem:
[09:37] <gb__> noiano: totem-mozilla, kaffeiene-mozilla
[09:37] <adamwest> yellow: what which one?
[09:37] <M1> Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".
[09:37] <gb__> M1:  run as root?
[09:37] <M1> I did
[09:37] <yellow> win-apps - that you can't - live - without
[09:37] <noiano> gb__: thanks!
[09:37] <gb__> noiano:  np
[09:37] <chris_shafto> might sound daft but do i need an anti virus?
[09:38] <M1> Wouldn't hurt. Clamshell's decent
[09:38] <gb__> chris_shafto:  normally u dont, but i have it installed
[09:38] <gb__> :)
[09:38] <gb__> i use clam too
[09:38] <shatrat> Well, im going to bed
[09:38] <gb__> M1:  whats the full error message?
[09:38] <yellow> gb__,  i think most people use clam
[09:39] <M1> The path "/home/riley/doc/vmware" does not exist currently. This program is
[09:39] <M1> going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[09:39] <M1> [yes] 
[09:39] <M1> Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".
[09:39] <chris_shafto> you have to pay for clamshell?
[09:39] <M1> Don't believe so
[09:39] <yellow> chris_shafto, no it's free
[09:39] <gb__> make sure the exist
[09:39] <yellow> it's in the repository
[09:39] <adamwest> yellow: oh. dunno, stuff. ICQ and MSN doesnt really work very well in my language, IEs4Linux is kinda slow (when i actually use it ^_^) linux gets frozen sometimes, NERO... lots of stuff. I use open source apps in windows when they're available... but the small amount of apps i use include a majority of windows apps D:
[09:40] <M1> And if it doesn't?
[09:40] <gb__> adam most have linux counterparts
[09:40] <anirudha> shatrat, I tried to install this driver in an attempt to solve the blank page problem, but installation failed numerous times
[09:40] <chris_shafto> cant find a 'free' one anywhere
[09:41] <gb__> chris_shafto:  anti-virus?
[09:41] <adamwest> i know. we'd never had this talk if i were from an english origin :P gb__
[09:41] <yellow> adamwest,  kopete and gaim works fine for my IM needs, who needs IE ? :P , NERO can be replaced by many things, and frozen linux ?
[09:41] <M1> I checked, it said no such file or directory
[09:41] <yellow> !_!
[09:41] <gb__> adamwest:  i'm not from english origin ;)
[09:41] <chris_shafto> yep
[09:41] <chris_shafto> keep getting took to http://home.comcast.net/~schwalbrichard/download.html
[09:41] <chris_shafto> which you have to pay
[09:41] <yellow> i'm running it out of pentium 3 933 and haven't got it to freeze yet
[09:41] <yellow> =)
[09:41] <gb__> chris_shafto:  free-av.com
[09:41] <gb__> chris_shafto:  good luck :)
[09:41] <nexous> Back with a question :D
[09:42] <M1> Lol, Grisoft
[09:42] <gb__> grisoft aint free
[09:42] <adamwest> gb__:  not ENGLISH-ENGLISH :P like austin powers ---- english speaking. For example, gaim is better than Licq, but when i get an offline message in hebrew it gets jybrished.
[09:42] <nexous> I'm using ubuntu threw a virtual drive from vmware, in ubuntu, how can i access my USB harddrive?
[09:42] <chris_shafto> i tried installing another but it like dont work
[09:42] <chris_shafto> and now i cant find it anywhere
[09:42] <gb__> adamwest:  ah ok, gotcha
[09:43] <M1> gb_: Yes, AVG is free, unless you want the pro version.
[09:43] <M1> Hmm, I can't find that file.
[09:43] <M1> ...Greaaaaat
[09:44] <gb__> i guess u found it
[09:44] <gb__> lol
[09:44] <adamwest> and also, gb_, unfortunately lots of sites from my country (israel) are not open-source friendly... which sucks btw. microsoft just got to israel before linux did, so they translate stuff very quickly and get to the schools, and everywhere. so suiting sites for firefox isnt their main priority D:
[09:44] <M1> Let's try this again
[09:44] <gb__> adamwest:  i gotcha , mate
[09:45] <gb__> adamwest:  bte goto nero site, there is nero for linux too ;)
[09:45] <M1> Still doesn't exist!
[09:45] <adamwest> really? lol
[09:45] <gb__> M1:  anti-virus still bugging ya?
[09:46] <M1> ? No, I'm talking about vmware
[09:46] <gb__> lol
[09:46] <gb__> M1:  ubuntu right?
[09:46] <adamwest> btw gb__ nero is in my most hated apps list... just below microsoft (*.*) ^_^ dunno why. just hate nero lol
[09:46] <M1> Mhm
[09:46] <M1> This IS ubuntu support
[09:47] <gb__> M1:  try apt-get install qemu
[09:47] <yellow> adamwest,  get toaster, or k3b
[09:47] <M1> Can't use apt-get. It says it's locked up every time I try it
[09:47] <M1> I'll try aptitude and packet
[09:47] <yellow> even the one that ships with ubuntu works fine enough for me already
[09:47] <gb__> M1:  prob. cause syanptic is up and running
[09:48] <M1> No, not before
[09:48] <gb__> M1:  do a ps
[09:48] <adamwest> probably when i'll buy a new computer i'll install both windows and linux... but now i have about 40gb. and when linux is using 1gb(swap) and i have my mp3 directory and video files, i don't have room for good ol' 10gb windows
[09:48] <adamwest> and updates :D
[09:48] <M1> Found qemu.
[09:48] <gb__> adamwest:  same here
[09:49] <gb__> adamwest:  40gb here, got dual boot
[09:49] <gb__> :)
[09:49] <adamwest> mine's 1300mhz 512ram... u?
[09:49] <yellow> adamwest, i'm managing on 20gb with dual boot
[09:49] <anirudha> shatrat, thanks for trying, I appreciate your help =)

[09:50] <yellow> 933mhz 256
[09:50] <yellow> =))
[09:50] <gb__> daviey:  dont like it?
[09:50] <yellow> adamwest,  if you want to use it, get an external drive or extra hdd
[09:50] <yellow> =)
[09:50] <chris_shafto> should i install the anti virus guard in kernel or module mode?
[09:50] <yellow> dump all your mp3s over
[09:50] <yellow> then you can use it
[09:50] <gb__> yellow: mp3 r must
[09:50] <gb__> cant take them out
[09:50] <gb__> ;)
[09:51] <adamwest> gb__: yellow: no i dont want it ^_^ i cant wait to buy a new one. i bought my current crappy comp long time ago on an internet auction for 1000nis
[09:51] <gb__> chris_shafto:  module

[10:02] <nexous> How do i add fonts to linux?
[10:03] <riazi> create fonts folder in your home directory
[10:03] <riazi> and add fonts
[10:03] <gb__> chris_shafto: in terminal type an then press tab key
[10:03] <tonyyarusso> !fonts | riazi
[10:03] <ubotu> riazi: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer

[10:03] <Tatster> Hi all.  I'm trying to build my first Ubuntu machine on an EPIA M motherboard.  I've got the 6.10 CD and it boots, give me the options - if I select Start Ubuntu  it goes for a while and then shows up /bin/sh: can't access tty
[10:03] <chris_shafto> yeh
[10:03] <tonyyarusso> ah, that was misdirected.
[10:03] <tonyyarusso> nexous: See ubotu ^^
[10:03] <noelferreira> hi people. what about feisty down. ready to install? should we give it a try?
[10:03] <riazi> nexous: in home
[10:03] <nexous> okay.
[10:03] <gb__> chris_shafto:  see any command there?
[10:04] <tonyyarusso> noelferreira: Ask in #ubuntu+1
[10:04] <riazi> nexous: type this in a terminal
[10:04] <chris_shafto> yeh need an update of java though
[10:04] <riazi> mkdir ~/.fonts
[10:04] <gb__> chris_shafto: oh ok
[10:05] <riazi> nexous: mkdir ~/.fonts
[10:05] <Tatster> I've tried Xubuntu and that ran and installed OK, but now I want to try Ubuntu to compare the differences
[10:05] <riazi> tonyyarusso: any macro recorder for ubunut ?
[10:05] <riazi> tonyyarusso: GUI one?
[10:06] <tonyyarusso> riazi: Don't even know what you mean actually
[10:06] <nexous> it didn't make the folder.
[10:06] <riazi> tonyyarusso: record mouse and keyboard strikes
[10:06] <Gasten> Tatster: download and tes with live-cd, or type apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:06] <tonyyarusso> riazi: What's it for?
[10:06] <Garren> What do you make of this?
[10:06] <Garren> E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htp could not be found.
[10:07] <Tatster> This is a live Ubuntu CD but it won't run
[10:07] <riazi> for recording mouse and keyboard
[10:07] <riazi> movements
[10:07] <Gasten> Tatster: what?
[10:08] <Garren> When I apt-get update this happens
[10:08] <Garren> E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htp could not be found.
[10:08] <Gasten> Tatster: You got a ubuntu live cd that won't run? Check your burner-program's doc about burning bootabe isos.
[10:08] <nexous> How do i open fonts folder?
[10:08] <riazi> nexous: read PM
[10:09] <Tatster> I downloaded Live CD - try to run it, it gets part way but it bombs with an error /bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[10:09] <nexous> I did that, says folder exists now, but i go to home and don't see fonts
[10:09] <gb__> nexous:  hi
[10:09] <Tatster> I know I burned it right, cos I have done the same process with Xubuntu and that was fine
[10:09] <Gorlist> Hi - ok here goes
[10:09] <gb__> nexous:  the folder is /usr/share/fonts
[10:09] <gb__> i think
[10:09] <riazi> nexous: press Ctrl+H
[10:09] <tonyyarusso> riazi: Recording how?  Like a screencast, or like spyware?
[10:09] <Gorlist> on my primary harddrive I have windows installed, secondary hard drive Ubuntu
[10:09] <riazi> nexous: the folder is hidden
[10:09] <Garren> can anyone help me?
[10:09] <nexous> got to it. thanks
[10:10] <JJ_> i learnt last night,,, jausr
[10:10] <riazi> tonyyarusso: like recording the movements and key strokes
[10:10] <Gorlist> problem is I have no Grub loader installed on the first hard drive as I had it unplugged when installed Ubuntu
[10:10] <JJ_> just ask
[10:10] <Gorlist> can I go back and install over MBR?
[10:10] <tonyyarusso> !grub | Gorlist
[10:10] <ubotu> Gorlist: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:10] <gb__> Gorlist:  yes u an reinstall grub
[10:10] <chris_shafto> how do i install a .rpm.bin file?
[10:10] <Gasten> Tatster: You got that after rebooting?
[10:10] <Tatster> I get it everytime I try and boot from the Ubuntu CD
[10:11] <tonyyarusso> riazi: I still don't know what you're talking about.  Recording to what sort of file?  text log?  Video?
[10:11] <gb__> chris_shafto: bin can be installed by just ./filename.bin
[10:11] <riazi> no man it records as a macro
[10:11] <nexous> Crappy, didn't wanna close outta irc.
[10:11] <gb__> chris_shafto:  make sure u change perm. though first
[10:11] <riazi> like mouse x,y
[10:11] <riazi> and keyboard keycodes
[10:11] <nexous> Anyway, how can i transfer the folder from my desktop to fonts folder?
[10:11] <riazi> then replays them
[10:11] <riazi> in the order it recorded them
[10:12] <Gasten> Tatster: Sorry. I have no clue. I'm not a live cd master. Have no idea of how they works. search on google. ask at forums/mailing lists. sorry, can't help you.
[10:12] <Tatster> When the CD loads, I get the menu options for Start or install, Start in safe graphics mode, Check CD, Memory Test
[10:12] <Tatster> If I select Start
[10:12] <tonyyarusso> riazi: Okay, an apt search turned up this: xmacro - Record / Play keystrokes and mouse movements in X displays
[10:12] <Gasten> Tatster: you are supposed to choose install.
[10:12] <Tatster> the option is start or install
[10:13] <nexous> How do i transfer fonts to folder?
[10:13] <Gasten> Tatster: Yeah, that one.
[10:13] <Tatster> If I do that I get a box saying loading kernel, and then I get the logo with the sliding progress bar for a while
[10:13] <gb__> later guys
[10:13] <edmundus> Hy, I installed kbuntu on my PowerMac6.4; it's OK but I have problems with overscan; any idea how to fixit?
[10:13] <chris_shafto> how do i change to root perm
[10:13] <gb__> time to go
[10:13] <Gasten> Tatster: ok
[10:13] <chris_shafto> i thought it was sudo before command but obviously not
[10:13] <riazi> i've got that
[10:14] <riazi> but error
[10:14] <gb__> chris_shafto: as root type chmod 777 filename.bin
[10:14] <chris_shafto> how do i go to root :)
[10:14] <Daverocks> chris_shafto: sudo -i
[10:14] <gb__> use sudo
[10:14] <Tatster> Then after a while I get the error /bin/sh: can't access tty
[10:15] <gb__> anyways chris_shafto  i'm out, good luck mate, cya
[10:15] <Gasten> Tatster: you have downloaded it from an official mirror, right.
[10:15] <gb__> later all
[10:15] <Tatster> yep
[10:15] <chris_shafto> okay cya mate :)
[10:16] <Gasten> Tatster: Okey.... Well, I'm sorry. I can't help you. Search google, ask at forums/mailinglist. Or here at irc. Maybe even file a bug?
[10:16] <Gasten> Tatster: Sorry.
[10:16] <Tatster> Ok no probs.  Thanks for your help

[10:18] <glyn> hey, I Just did a dist-upgrade from Hoary to Breezy and I can't find my terminal under system tools
[10:18] <glyn> how do I get to my terminal?
[10:18] <tonyyarusso> That will come off in ten minutes chris_shafto
[10:18] <Gasten> Tatster: Yeah. Me too.
[10:18] <Freenet> i'm a newbie and i d like to know wich distro i should use?thnx
[10:18] <glyn> oh, found it under accesories
[10:18] <glyn> thanks
[10:18] <Gasten> glyn: Yeah :D
[10:18] <xelados> Freenet: What do you want out of Linux?
[10:18] <tonyyarusso> Freenet: Come to #ubuntu-offtopic with that one
[10:18] <Daverocks> Freenet: if you're in the channel #ubuntu, you should expect a biased answer :P
[10:18] <QwertyM> Freenet: Ubuntu, the channel pretty well explains it :D
[10:18] <xelados> ..Or follow tonyyarusso's advice
[10:19] <glyn> how do I know for sure that Breezy is what I have now?
[10:19] <tonyyarusso> glyn: lsb_release -a
[10:19] <mdious> glyn:  cat /etc/issue might help

[10:21] <sparr> Freenet: it does if you join it
[10:22] <sparr> tarelerul1: i believe kubuntu would have qparted or qtparted instead
[10:22] <tarelerul1> Great
[10:22] <fyr--> how about a guide for broadcom wireless drivers in Ubuntu?
[10:22] <Freenet> yeah i found it!
[10:22] <tarelerul1> What is qtparted
[10:22] <edmundus> Sorry, but do any of you know how you can get rid with overscan problem on PowerMac6.4???
[10:22] <xelados> Any idea how I would get scanning and printing working for my Lexmark X1185 in Xubuntu Dapper, AMD64?
[10:22] <tarelerul1> not for ntfs resizing is it
[10:23] <CowzRule> Hello, is there a command that will tell me what /dev/ my webcam is? I have a tv tuner card at /dev/video0.
[10:23] <glyn> is Breezy EOL too?
[10:23] <tonyyarusso> glyn: not yet
[10:24] <Somebodyelse> hi, can anybody help me with getting a XFree86-DRI problem solved? it's causing me to be unable to have direct rendering
[10:24] <Somebodyelse> my /var/log/Xorg.0.log is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3066/
[10:25] <Blissex> CowzRule: tragically no. You can look at your logs though to see which device number has been assigned.
[10:25] <sparr> will edgy ever get newer kernels than 2.6.17 or do i have to update my sources to point to feisty?
[10:25] <CowzRule> ok thanks
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> sparr: what do you meed the newer ones for?  I doubt heartily that a kernel would be backported, yes.
[10:26] <sparr> tonyyarusso: support for my NIC, and hopefully eventually for my sound card
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> sparr: ah.  You could build it yourself too.
[10:27] <Goliath23> hi
[10:27] <sparr> does ubuntu have non-release-locked "distros"?  like debian has potato/etch/sid/etc that get frozen at releases, but also has stable/testing/unstable that are moving windows
[10:27] <Blissex> sparr: you should choose your cards for your version of Linux and not viceversa... Else you are doing system integration and that is hard work.
[10:27] <sparr> Blissex: its not a card
[10:27] <noiano> can I bother someone with a problem?
[10:27] <sparr> Blissex: theyre not cards
[10:27] <Blissex> sparr: those from Debian are not distros; they are just repositories with random contents.
[10:27] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi all .. little question about mobo trouble shooting .. Got my a new'used mobo .. but when I start up .. nothing but fans, and a little hard drive click happen .. no beeps, nothing .. I tried several video cards (both PCI and AGP) with the same black screen results? . The ram appears to be good (works in this box) and the only PCI device I have hooked up have been the different video cards .. PowerSupply do stuff like this?
[10:28] <Somebodyelse> anybody?
[10:28] <sparr> Blissex: whatever the proper terms are.  etch is to edgy as testing is to ______ (fill in the blank)
[10:28] <chris_shafto> how do i get back out of root?
[10:29] <tonyyarusso> chris_shafto: how did you get in?
[10:29] <chris_shafto> sommit like root -i
[10:29] <tonyyarusso> chris_shafto: sudo -i most likely.  'exit'
[10:29] <Goliath23> I have a computer here with an intel ICH7 chipset. (SATA). unfortunately, the server install fails to mount my cdrom (and harddisks). lsmod shows that the necessary modules are loaded and dmesg looks fine. If I try to mount by hand I get a "mount: Mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument" The strange thing is: it works with the kubuntu-desktop install. I have to use the text install though, because I want to setup a
[10:29] <Goliath23> raid.
[10:30] <Goliath23> any ideas for this problem?
[10:30] <someothernick> edgy right?
[10:30] <Goliath23> what arguments could the busybox mount program mean?
[10:30] <Goliath23> someothernick: no, actually 6.06 LTS server
[10:30] <someothernick> oh
[10:31] <sparr> Blissex: put another way...  is there any name i can put in my sources that will NOT become release frozen at some point in the future?
[10:31] <Goliath23> while the 6.06 desktop install works fine.. the only difference I can see immediately is, that the desktop-cd uses kernel 2.6.15-27 in contrast to 2.6.15-26 for the server installation. but in the changelog I couldnt find anything.
[10:32] <Blissex> sparr: well, that is not how Ubuntu works -- it works by making frequent discrete releases.
[10:32] <someothernick> i think i have the same chipset
[10:32] <someothernick> dapper works but edgy doesn't
[10:32] <someothernick> older kernel i guess
[10:32] <glyn> someone gave me a nice link earlier on how to get webcams working easy with ubuntu
[10:33] <glyn> can someone help with that?

[10:33] <glyn> heh
[10:33] <SurfnKid> could anyone please help me with xgl
[10:33] <Goliath23> someothernick: did you use the server installation?
[10:33] <SurfnKid> i beg someone
[10:33] <someothernick> nope
[10:33] <NineTeen67Comet> SurfnKid: #ubuntu-xgl
[10:33] <SurfnKid> NineTeen67Comet: theyre all dead asleep
[10:33] <SurfnKid> :)
[10:33] <someothernick> just thought that might be of some use :/
[10:33] <Goliath23> well, 6.06 dektop installation works fine here, too
[10:33] <noiano> i have a little problem  witch reboot/shutdown: when i click reboot or turn off after the classic sound i got a black screen and no reboot/shutdown
[10:33] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, what is your question?
[10:33] <SurfnKid> Goliath23: did you just install Dapper
[10:33] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: hey there
[10:34] <xelados> Is there anyone here knowledgeable with printers and similar devices?
[10:34] <Goliath23> SurfnKid: I try to, but using the server installation cd it fails to mount my cdrom.
[10:34] <sparr> Blissex: ok, is there some tool that will automagically modify my sources to point to the latest [soon to be]  release?
[10:34] <Goliath23> (and any other device, despite the correct kernel modules are loaded)
[10:34] <seravitae> does anyone else notice a huge increase in CPU usage transferring files over network?
[10:35] <_`XeOn_> hello i need help enabling splash screen
[10:35] <sparr> Blissex: i dont ever NOT want the latest (safeish) version of almost anything
[10:35] <seravitae> i can't really justify copying some mp3s at 100mbps from one machine to this one (sata-II hdd) occupying 55% cpu
[10:35] <phiqtion> i know this is a ubuntu channel, but what is the best prog to read temps on xp?
[10:35] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: well I just installed Edgy yesterday, got my wifi, got the ATI card running, now when I install xgl it all goes thru fine, restart, initiate beryl-manager and says no composite manager or something. What besides xgl am i supposed to install? I forget, is it XGL and Composite Mgr. or XGL only?
[10:35] <someothernick> Goliath23, did you try a ide hdd?
[10:35] <boshig4> Hey guys
[10:35] <shatrat^sleep> phiqtion, speedfan
[10:35] <boshig4> I have a big problem
[10:35] <someothernick> !ask
[10:35] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:35] <phiqtion> shatrat^sleep: thx
[10:35] <boshig4> When I try to install ubuntu from the live cd, it stops at 46%
[10:35] <xelados> Any idea how I would get scanning and printing working for my Lexmark X1185 in Xubuntu Dapper, AMD64?
[10:35] <Goliath23> someothernick: what do you mean? attach another hdd or try to mount the hdds?
[10:35] <boshig4> And my windows install JUST DIED.
[10:36] <SurfnKid> Goliath23: oh i see, well i think ill go back to dapper, everything runs fine there
[10:36] <boshig4> wouldn't let me enter my stuff
[10:36] <boshig4> So
[10:36] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, You need to make an entry into your GDM sessions list for XGL
[10:36] <boshig4> What's the deal?
[10:36] <boshig4> Why won't it let me install past 46%?
[10:36] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, and then choose that session type
[10:36] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: thats what i thought,  gdm-conf?
[10:36] <someothernick> Goliath23, if its the same problem i had then its not seeing your sata controller
[10:36] <boshig4> And the CD is fine, I installed Ubuntu to a friends computer a few days ago off this cd
[10:36] <xelados> I've tried one of the driver fixes before, but it only made scanning work, and barely acceptable.
[10:36] <boshig4> ??
[10:36] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, I forget where exactly.  I only have to use XGL on the lappeh
[10:37] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: dang i know thats what im missing, i read about it earlier but i disregarded
[10:37] <SurfnKid> ok let me check it out, i hope thats it

[10:37] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, moment
[10:37] <Goliath23> someothernick: but it looks like it has all the necessary modules for the sata controler. I mean the devices are there (sda1,3,5) exactly what I partitioned when I did the desktop-installation
[10:37] <_`XeOn_> !splash
[10:37] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[10:37] <enix_> y use xterm or aterm vs. just a regular terminal
[10:37] <glyn_> hey, for some reason whenever I follow the instructions on !webcam, I try to use camorama and Ubuntu and my whole computer freezes
[10:37] <glyn_> what is goin on with that?
[10:38] <Goliath23> so the devices are detected... fuxxxng busybox mount won't mount them, though :)
[10:38] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl look at Method A
[10:38] <shatrat^sleep> _`XeOn_, you mean the boot up splash? hit e at grub and make sure that there is the word "splash" somewhere in the boot entry, if not add it to the end
[10:38] <Goliath23> i'll try another alternate installation image
[10:39] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: hmmm ok reading thru your link, now read this link
[10:39] <_`XeOn_> shatrat^sleep [TNT] ~* yes that but i dont know how to
[10:39] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_XGL#Adding_Beryl_to_Session_Startup
[10:39] <noiano> i have a little problem  witch reboot/shutdown: when i click reboot or turn off after the classic sound i got a black screen and no reboot/shutdown
[10:39] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: isnt that option like adding a session for gnome too?
[10:40] <aalhamad> how i can make diffrent desktop have diffrent wallpapers?
[10:40] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, what option?\
[10:40] <_`XeOn_> !grub
[10:40] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:40] <noiano> aalhamad: there is an option for that
[10:40] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, you need two things.  You need XGL to be running your session on, and you need Beryl to start up after the session starts
[10:40] <glyn_> does anyone have experience with using "easycam"?
[10:40] <aalhamad> noiano where?
[10:40] <shatrat^sleep> SurfnKid, You have to do both of those
[10:40] <noiano> aalhamad: do you use kde?
[10:40] <SurfnKid> booth!!!
[10:40] <SurfnKid> ok
[10:41] <aalhamad> i'm using gnome
[10:41] <SurfnKid> no wonder
[10:41] <SurfnKid> I only knew about mine, not yours :(
[10:41] <aalhamad> ubuntu
[10:41] <SurfnKid> let mem see how it goes
[10:41] <glyn_> rm -r -f drivers/usb/*.o drivers/usb/.spcadecoder.o.cmd \
[10:41] <glyn_> drivers/usb/.spca5xx.o.cmd  *.o *.ko *.mod.* .[a-z] * core *.i
[10:41] <aalhamad> noiano i'm using gnome
[10:41] <noiano> aalhamad: i ise kde...just browse trough the menus...
[10:41] <glyn_> that's what I get when I try to use it
[10:41] <daviey> Hi, i have out the native resolution into xorg.conf, but it doesn't appear as an option.  Why not?
[10:41] <SurfnKid> shatrat^sleep: thanks brb
[10:41] <shatrat^sleep> _`XeOn_, splash is a kernel option.  If it isnt already in your grub entry, you can add it by using the "e" key to edit the entry.  When you have added the word splash to the big long line of boot options just hit "b" to boot
[10:41] <noiano> aalhamad: you will find it!
[10:41] <SurfnKid> I appreciate you helping me out
[10:42] <shatrat^sleep> I need to stop helping people, its sleep time
[10:42] <noiano> anyone can help me with my annoyng problem?
[10:42] <shatrat^sleep> I probably can but if I dont sleep now I never will
[10:42] <_`XeOn_> shatrat^sleep [TNT] ~* from where?
[10:42] <glyn_> earlier there were people telling me to use easycam
[10:42] <glyn_> but it doesn't work
[10:42] <glyn_> and I'm getting errors
[10:43] <variant> noiano: so it doesn/'t reboot at all? if you type "reboot" does it work?
[10:43] <glyn_> anyone able to help?
[10:43] <variant> noiano: what motherboard do you have?
[10:43] <noiano> variant: i have an asus p4pe
[10:43] <noiano> i have never had such problem with dapper
[10:43] <glyn_> !webcam

[10:44] <phiqtion> shatrat^sleep: speedfan can overclock cpu?, any good info for overclocking? i've never done it, any good guides?
[10:44] <noiano> variant: i have been told it's a "grafic" problem
[10:44] <variant> noiano: check the log in /var/log/lastlog
[10:44] <noiano> what can i do?
[10:45] <variant> noiano: in that case, run /etc/init.d/gdm stop and log into the terminal. from there run shutdown -r now
[10:45] <phiqtion> shatrat^reallysleep: speedfan can overclock cpu?, any good info for overclocking? i've never done it, any good guides?

[10:45] <chris_shafto> # /usr/sbin/usermod -G adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,lpadmin,scanner,admin,chris,antivir chris
[10:46] <noiano> variant: it is an ati 9500pro
[10:46] <variant> noiano: I don't see how that would affect shutdown/reboot
[10:46] <noiano> variant: i will do the /etc/init.d/gdm stop test now
[10:46] <variant> noiano: sounds like the motherboard is not powering fof
[10:46] <variant> off
[10:46] <noiano> but it is so strange
[10:46] <variant> ye
[10:46] <noiano> because dapper had  no problem
[10:46] <tonyyarusso> chris_shafto: 'sudo adduser chris antivir'
[10:46] <variant> at what point does it stop?
[10:47] <variant> this is edgy?
[10:47] <noiano> variant: yes
[10:47] <noiano> besides i do not see the progress bar
[10:47] <noiano> that goes from left to right

[10:48] <variant> noiano: try kdm
[10:48] <daviey> i have a problem, tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) is just a black screen.  I assume it means it's out of range resolution.  How can i change this?
[10:48] <noiano> variant: i did not understand...
[10:48] <tonyyarusso> chris_shafto: hmmm
[10:48] <tonyyarusso> chris_shafto: Unfortunately, that's not a program I'm familiar with
[10:49] <glyn_> hey, how do I add something to the system tray?
[10:49] <noiano> variant: i forgot to tell you that if i choose the recovery mode the shutdown command works ok
[10:49] <mrstocks> Hey, how can i remove kdm / gdm without all kde / gnome ?
[10:49] <variant> chris_shafto: did you run the command it suggests? (usermod -G etc etc
[10:49] <mrstocks> kdm doesnt work here... nor does gdm...
[10:49] <variant> noiano: sorry I don't know what it is
[10:50] <noiano> where can I ask?
[10:50] <noiano> who can I ask to?
[10:50] <variant> noiano: try updating the system see if it was a bug introduced in a recent update
[10:50] <SurfnKid> shat^reallysleep: ok gonna log out now

[10:51] <JJ_> if In wanted to lock all the ports on my pc and move it to the DMZ of my router how would I do it please ?
[10:51] <noiano> variant: ok
[10:52] <mrstocks> JJ_ weird idea... but use ipchaines no ?
[10:52] <mrstocks> It norning here no ?
[10:52] <variant> JJ_: you have a hw firewall that supports dmz/trust/untrust?
[10:53] <JJ_> ok that was the next question, is there a fire wall as I sont find and gui interface for one
[10:53] <v_> good morning
[10:53] <variant> JJ_: buntu comes with iptables by default (no gui) but you can install firestarter for a nice easy gui
[10:54] <glyn_> hah, I figured it out myself, you guys all suck..j/k
[10:54] <v_> i finally remembered what i needed to do to enable shadow passwords: dpkg-reconfigure passwd
[10:54] <JJ_> I need to look at the router to work it out but was thinking of being able to vnc into the pc across the web
[10:54] <JJ_> thanks brb
[10:54] <variant> v_: lol

[11:30] <yahya_> I'm trying to install ubuntu on an old p3 system, after the kernel boots my lcd monitor goes blank saying "out of range 35.5Khz 87Hz"
[11:30] <lupine_85> yahya_: modify the modelines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:30] <lupine_85> or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to do it automagically
[11:31] <lupine_85> well, fairly automagically
[11:33] <yahya_> lupine_85, I'm booting off the dapper cd
[11:33] <lupine_85> chroot into your hd partition
[11:33] <yahya_> I have a 1680x1050 display.. could that be a problem?
[11:34] <NoobieDoobieDo> I have anacron, cron and atd all running at startup.. is that normal?
[11:34] <yahya_> lupine_85, my hdd isn't partitioned yet
[11:34] <lupine_85> as long as both the graphics card and monitor support it, no
[11:34] <lupine_85> ah. so the live cd isn't working.
[11:34] <frogzoo_> NoobieDoobieDo: yes
[11:34] <lupine_85> tried the safe graphics mode?
[11:34] <lupine_85> or the alternate cd?
[11:34] <lupine_85> !alternate
[11:34] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[11:34] <lupine_85> or the edgy cd ;)
[11:35] <NoobieDoobieDo> frogzoo, do you know why 3 different types of the same program are running ?
[11:35] <glyn_> does anyone know how to permanently configure light for a cam?
[11:35] <glyn_> !webcam
[11:35] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[11:35] <yahya_> lupine_85, yeah..with safe graphics mode,  I get a big ubuntu logo (displayed offcenter ) with an oscillating progress bar..then the screen goes blank after some time
[11:35] <NoobieDoobieDo> I don't understand why 3 different action schedulers must run, I'd think one should be able to schedule all the actiosn
[11:36] <NoobieDoobieDo> *actions
[11:36] <yahya_> lupine_85, the pc is atleast 5 years old..could it be the graphic card doesn't support widescreen displays?
[11:36] <prof> helo, does anyone know of a way to get my dhcp sending my computername to my internetprovider so that it connects me to the internet?
[11:37] <frogzoo_> NoobieDoobieDo: check man page, they do different things
[11:37] <NoobieDoobieDo> ok, thank you
[11:38] <mwe> prof: what do you mean? usually you just run dhclient <interface> to get an IP with dhcp
[11:38] <ghatak> Hi guys, i just booted in Live CD of Edgy, After going into Gnome, i can see these horizontal lines on my screen, they move from bottom and scroll all the way to up and again and again. I did not had this issue with windows on same card. Any help ?
[11:38] <glyn_> how do I take off color correction on my webcam settings permanently?
[11:39] <noneee> hello, I would like to replace liferea with something faster... any hint?
[11:41] <prof> my internet provider (2home) as well as chello require a computername (ab123456-c)before it responds to dhcp. on the hoary version  you could enter this code during (text) install. on othter distro's you sometimes used the dhcpcd -h script but the edgy uses dhcp3 .
[11:41] <shifty> :) hey all
[11:42] <hagabaka> are entries in user crontab run when the user's not logged in?
[11:43] <alecjw> hagabaka: i htink so. crond runs as a daemon (i think)
[11:43] <surekha> What is a echo service? And is it a threat to security for web based applications?
[11:43] <MACscr_> sorry if this is a stupid question, but is ubuntu a debian like os?
[11:44] <hagabaka> ok
[11:44] <alecjw> MACscr_: yes. the word ubuntu is an ancient african word meaning "i cant configure debian".
[11:44] <hagabaka> heh
[11:44] <hagabaka> is debian hard to configure?
[11:44] <graulich> speaking of configure...
[11:44] <daviey> Hi, i have installed beryl.  Seemed to install fine - but no visual effects!!! Any ideas?
[11:44] <alecjw> hagabaka: yes
[11:45] <graulich> I have this machine here which doesn't recognize the two USB wifi dongles I have... how can I make it recognize one of them?
[11:45] <chris_shafto> anyone familiar with AntiVir?

[11:45] <daviey> alecjw, thanks
[11:45] <MACscr_> well, im trying to figure out if i want to install ubunto or centos on one of my pc's, so im just collecting info

[11:46] <alecjw> graulich: not all wireless cards owrk in linux. are the two usb things the smae?
[11:46] <surekha> What is a echo service? And is it a threat to security for web based applications? How to deactivate the service?
[11:46] <graulich> alecjw: no, the two are different.
[11:46] <chris_shafto> Anyone help with launching the AntiVir Gui?
[11:47] <alecjw> graulich: do you know what chips they have?
[11:47] <alecjw> it's very quiet in here......
[11:47] <graulich> alecjw: no, but I bet I could find out...
[11:48] <chris_shafto> how do i know antivir is running in the background?
[11:49] <alecjw> graulich: is the card listed here?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[11:49] <v_> gar
[11:49] <v_> ok, does ubuntu minimal really depend on sysklogd?
[11:49] <v_> or just system-log-daemon?
[11:50] <glyn_> how do I do a "search" for packages?
[11:50] <v_> glyn_: apt-cache search packagename
[11:50] <glyn_> I mean off the website
[11:50] <glyn_> where it gives me a description of packages
[11:50] <alecjw> glyn_: packages.ubuntu.com/PACKAGENAME

[11:52] <alecjw> graulich: awww :(...
[11:52] <NoobieDoobieDo> anyone having trouble logging into statcounter.com?
[11:52] <graulich> alecjw: oh wait I was looking at pci xD
[11:53] <chris_shafto> well if everyones ignoring me lol, how do i uninstall antivir?
[11:53] <alecjw> well, i've got to go now, graulich. if you cant find it there, try searchuing fro the name of the card in the forums (www.ubuntuforums.org). good luck! bye.
[11:53] <alecjw> *for
[11:53] <frogzoo_> timephoenix: make uninstall from the old build directory, or the new possibly
[11:54] <v_> chris_shafto: i have no clue what antivir is?
[11:54] <Spee_Der> chris_shafto, which antivir you using ?
[11:54] <chris_shafto> the linux one XD
[11:54] <shifty> clamav ?
[11:54] <mwe> chris_shafto: how did you install it?
[11:55] <chris_shafto> using terminal
[11:55] <mwe> chris_shafto: in what?
[11:55] <mwe> chris_shafto: what did you do in the terminal?
[11:56] <mwe> chris_shafto: is a .deb or did you install it with APT or what?
[11:56] <chris_shafto> ermmmm
[11:56] <chris_shafto> lol
[11:56] <chris_shafto> easier thing...how do i delete files in root?
[11:57] <mwe> files in root?
[11:57] <chris_shafto> As root delete the directories
[11:57] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, in the root dir or in root's home?
[11:57] <chris_shafto> root dir
[11:57] <v_> j #ubuntu_devel
[11:57] <mwe> chris_shafto: sudo rm file. it's probably a bad way to unintall things, though
[11:58] <mwe> uninstall*
[11:59] <chris_shafto> I tryed to delete in the actual computer folders so how do i go to the root account so i have the permissions?
[11:59] <chris_shafto> Cannot move "/usr/lib/AntiVir" to the trash because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder.
[12:00] <v_> does anyone know if it will cause problems if I install two packages that provide the same meta package, ie. system-log-daemon
[12:00] <v_> i really don't know how alternatives work
[12:00] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, If you really want to delete files in root's home dir, gksudo nautilus  but be careful with that nautilus window
[12:01] <chris_shafto> what the hell is that?
[12:01] <kraut> moin
[12:01] <toM|vendettA> hi how do i a force quit a program via the terminal?
[12:01] <mwe> chris_shafto: sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/AntiVir. doesn't it provide an uninstallation method, though?
[12:01] <hamre__> ctrl+c
[12:01] <hamre__> or killall -9 <program>
[12:01] <graulich> what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[12:02] <ardchoille42> toM|vendettA, you can use xkill  or killall appname
[12:02] <mwe> graulich: aptitude keeps a way better cache
[12:02] <toM|vendettA> ty hamre__ and ardchoille42
[12:02] <graulich> and that's it, mwe?
[12:02] <Dreamglider> how do i setup ati drivers so i can use rwo screens ?
[12:02] <v_> toM|vendettA: sudo kill -9 `/bin/pidof <programname`
[12:02] <mwe> graulich: it has an ncursers interface as well.
[12:02] <ardchoille42> graulich, Are you on Dapper?
[12:02] <toM|vendettA> ty v_
[12:03] <graulich> ardchoille42: I'm on two machines here... I'm typing now on Xubuntu 6.10 and working on upgrading an Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10...
[12:03] <graulich> mwe: what's ncursers?
[12:03] <mwe> graulich: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop will leave all of kde on your system whereas using aptitude to perform the same task will actually remove it, not just the metapackage
[12:03] <mwe> graulich: type sudo aptitude and you'll see ;)
[12:04] <mwe> graulich: it's a library for console 'gui'
[12:04] <ardchoille42> mwe, That changed with the version of apt-get in Edgy. Edgy, you can do sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove and the app will be uninstalled along with its deps provided those deps are no longer used.
[12:04] <mwe> graulich: or userinterfaces
[12:05] <Ghost> hi
[12:05] <mwe> ardchoille42: that's broken for me
[12:05] <graulich> well that's pretty cool mwe! any downside to using that g/cui?
[12:05] <ardchoille42> mwe, Oh, ok, well it shouldn't be
[12:05] <mwe> ardchoille42: it wants to remove stuff I wanna keep and it's undocumented how to tell it I wanna keep them
[12:06] <v_> man it's getting late
[12:06] <v_> time to feed the cats
[12:06] <glyn_> hey, I'm trying to use webcams on AMSN and mine is all blue, has anyone else had this problem?
[12:06] <v_> i've got to pick up the living room soon, we're having company for breakfast
[12:06] <v_> hope this works
[12:06] <mwe> graulich: no. only that you will probably be annoyed at it untill you get used to it
[12:06] <chris_shafto> its gone :D
[12:07] <mwe> ardchoille42: I avoid apt-get when I can ;)
[12:07] <stork> how does one convert a .bin/.cue file to .avi
[12:07] <graulich> mwe: can that ui be used for a distro upgrade?
[12:07] <ardchoille42> mwe, Yeah, I stopped using it a while back
[12:08] <mwe> ardchoille42: have you got any idea how to tell apt-get 'hey don't tell me it's safe to remove that! I wanna keep it'
[12:08] <mwe> graulich: I wouldn't
[12:08] <mwe> !upgrade | graulich
[12:08] <ubotu> graulich: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:08] <v_> can anyone give me a good reason for NOT having both sysklogd and syslog-ng installed on a system at once?
[12:08] <ardchoille42> mwe, I don't know. I stopped using it when I found out it left behind all those deps.
[12:09] <mwe> ardchoille42: it's annoying ;)
[12:09] <v_> rephrase, a reason why it's a bad idea
[12:09] <ardchoille42> Indeed
[12:09] <roxlu> hi all, I downloaded this theme:http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=44355, but how can I install it?
[12:09] <chris_shafto> anyone want to help me install ClamAV then ill leave you all alone lol
[12:10] <graulich> oic mwe... well it's a little funny that the cui is better for just adding a package but update-manager is better for a dist-upgrade
[12:10] <ardchoille42> roxlu, Open the theme manager and drag that tarball into it
[12:10] <roxlu> ardchoille42: I tried that... its a .bz2 file, I did bunzip2 [file]  and than dropped the .tar file in the theme manager
[12:10] <mwe> graulich: if you just change sources.list using aptitude should work
[12:11] <graulich> I'll just use update-manager and get it over with...
[12:11] <roxlu> than I get  "The file format is not valid"
[12:11] <ardchoille42> roxlu, Or you could have just unpacked it into ~/.themes since that's all the theme manager installer does anyway
[12:11] <kjaer> roxlu: untar it into .themes in your home dir
[12:11] <mwe> graulich: because of wierdness it's sometimes nessecary to run aptitude dist-upgrade twice, though
[12:11] <roxlu> oke
[12:11] <roxlu> kjaer: do I need to 're-login' after unpacking?
[12:11] <ardchoille42> roxlu, If you want that theme to be available to everyone on the system, unpackit into /usr/share/themes
[12:12] <ardchoille42> roxlu, no, just open the theme manager click the theme details button and choose it from the window border tab
[12:12] <roxlu> oe
[12:12] <roxlu> oke
[12:12] <gerhard> anyone who would like to play German "Skat" with me via xskat? join #skat
[12:12] <dw_> could someone who uses gnome upload his /etc/fonts/font.conf please? I've deleted it by accident...
[12:13] <roxlu> nice its working now, thanx !
[12:14] <zoli2k> http://158.197.33.91/~kuscsik/fonts.conf
[12:14] <ardchoille42> dw_, I can try and dcc mine to you
[12:14] <zoli2k> dw_: but this is on feisty! http://158.197.33.91/~kuscsik/fonts.conf
[12:14] <chris_shafto> anyone help with clamav?
[12:14] <zoli2k> dw_: but it should be ok,  I think
[12:15] <dw_> zoli2k thx a lot mate, i'll try it out
[12:16] <mwe> chris_shafto: are you running a mail server?
[12:16] <chris_shafto> nope lol
[12:16] <chris_shafto> just a normal pc
[12:17] <mwe> chris_shafto: I just wanna tell you I've never come ascross a linux virus on dozens of linux machines in ten years.
[12:17] <glyn_> hey I just upgraded to breezy but I'm having problems playing WMV files
[12:17] <glyn_> what do I need to do?
[12:17] <chris_shafto> better to be safe then sorry especially with my luck
[12:17] <bartbes> glyn_, why breezy? Dapper and Edgy are out
[12:17] <mwe> chris_shafto: linux viruses are extremely rare
[12:17] <glyn_> I went from Hoary to breezy
[12:18] <glyn_> I just didn't want to take the time to upgrade to Dapper yet
[12:18] <mwe> chris_shafto: in fact I have never personnaly talked to anyone who even knew someone who had one
[12:18] <bartbes> glyn_, I don't know if it's illegal there, but do you have the right codecs?
[12:19] <bartbes> glyn_, it probably works best with the xine engine
[12:19] <glyn_> It's not illegal, and I'm not sure if I have the right codecs
[12:19] <ardchoille42> illegal aint nothing but a sick bird
[12:19] <glyn_> I installed w32codecs
[12:19] <glyn_> so I should sudo apt-get install totem-xine?
[12:19] <UsernameBob> hey
[12:19] <chris_shafto> mwe: havent installed it anyhows
[12:19] <bartbes> glyn_, with which programs have you tried to play the files
[12:20] <glyn_> Mplayer
[12:20] <glyn_> that's all so far
[12:20] <nothlit> glyn_, all the progs should be able to use w32codecs
[12:20] <glyn_> mplayer just got confused
[12:20] <stork> how does one convert a .bin/.cue file to .avi
[12:20] <glyn_> don't really like mplayer
[12:20] <stork> use vlc
[12:20] <bartbes> stork, bin/cue is an image file
[12:20] <stork> it's more gui-ish
[12:20] <mwe> chris_shafto: I've unstalled antivirus programs on mail servers to protect people mainly from windows viruses
[12:21] <kontingenz> can someone tell me how to use gnome-keyring-manager managing passwords
[12:21] <hyphenated> mwe: file servers too?
[12:21] <zoli2k> stork: .bin .cue is only the extension of the image file. Try to specify what is inside the image.
[12:22] <kjaer> stork: file image.bin might give you a clue
[12:22] <bartbes> stork, you have to mount it somehow
[12:22] <mwe> hyphenated: that would make sense as well
[12:22] <mwe> gotta go ...
[12:23] <hyphenated> the network in my office is heavily linux-based, but they still run clamav on all mail and file servers
[12:23] <alvaro> hi
[12:23] <uutf> SLM
[12:23] <glyn_> for some reason when I try to get playback, I just get a bunch of weird colors and stuff
[12:23] <uutf> SLM
[12:23] <glyn_> with wmv files
[12:24] <glyn_> guess I'll try VLC
[12:24] <CoRnJuLiOx> does anyone know how to change resolutions in xmame?
[12:24] <variant> glyn_: yeah that means the wmv is infected with windows DRM, you wont be able to pl,y it on linux
[12:25] <bartbes> and that's why we don't like windows DRM
[12:25] <glyn_> damn windows DRM
[12:25] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | glyn_
[12:25] <ubotu> glyn_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:25] <rausb0> they call it "digital rights management". we call it digital restriction managment.
[12:25] <glyn_> lol sorry
[12:26] <CoRnJuLiOx> variant: do you also get no sound on DRM infected .wmvs?
[12:26] <CoRnJuLiOx> because i get that a lot..
[12:26] <variant> glyn_: if you are the rightfull owner of the files then you can leagally strip the drm with tools readilly available on the net..  if you'r country is not covered by the dmca then you can do it whether you own them or not
[12:26] <Agent_X_> but i can play wmv files on fedora nicely using wmv codecs i forgot thier name i think w32codecs or something
[12:26] <variant> CoRnJuLiOx: correct.. but you wouldn't get the video either
[12:26] <CoRnJuLiOx> yeah, i noticed when playing some WMVs
[12:26] <variant> Agent_X_: except those wmv files don't have drm
[12:26] <CoRnJuLiOx> i don't get video, but i get sound
[12:26] <variant> CoRnJuLiOx: then thats annother issue
[12:26] <variant> CoRnJuLiOx: probably
[12:27] <CoRnJuLiOx> and on others, i get video, but crappy sound (sounds like screeching nails on a chalkboard)
[12:27] <Agent_X_> aw i see
[12:27] <variant> CoRnJuLiOx: sounds like a seperate issue
[12:27] <ardchoille42> CoRnJuLiOx, I love that sound
[12:27] <CoRnJuLiOx> what could it be?
[12:27] <variant> CoRnJuLiOx: try vlc's wmv support.. it's pretty solid
[12:27] <CoRnJuLiOx> VLC?
[12:28] <aoupi> CoRnJuLiOx: http://videolan.org
[12:28] <variant> (apart from the lack of drm'd files support of course)
[12:28] <CoRnJuLiOx> i mean, playing streaming .wmvs in epiphany
[12:28] <aoupi> It got WMV9 support in 0.8.6
[12:28] <CoRnJuLiOx> via mplayer-plugin
[12:28] <jml> hello
[12:28] <chris_shafto> mwe: This might sound stupid but what exactly do i do with a .tar.bz2 folder?
[12:28] <variant> john lech johansen who made possible the stripping of drm from dvd's and who also recently cracked windows media DRM is a vlc developer..
[12:29] <variant> so probably vlc will be able to clean out the drm on non windows platforms at some point
[12:29] <rausb0> chris_shafto: .tar.bz2 is not a folder. its a compressed tar archive.
[12:29] <aoupi> chris_shafto: tar xjvf whatever.tar.bz2
[12:29] <variant> chris_shafto: it's simmilar to a .zip or .rar
[12:29] <__doc__> hi, I need dual monitor support on ubuntu 6.10. I have one single Nvidia 7950GT with two dvi out.
[12:30] <shifty> wow
[12:30] <rausb0> chris_shafto: if you plan to compile something from source, check if it is available as an ubuntu package first
[12:30] <shifty> nice graphic card :)
[12:30] <variant> __doc__: do you have the nvidia driver installed?
[12:30] <zoli2k> !xinerama
[12:30] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[12:30] <chris_shafto> once i extracted it then does it mean the program is installed?
[12:30] <__doc__> variant: yes
[12:30] <zoli2k> #ubuntu-motu | __doc__
[12:30] <variant> chris_shafto: no, if it's source code then you have to compile it
[12:30] <chris_shafto> stupid question lol
[12:30] <chris_shafto> how to compile :)
[12:30] <fremeer> hello i need some support with launching the 6.10 live cd.
[12:30] <zoli2k> !xinerama | __doc__
[12:30] <ubotu> __doc__: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[12:30] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, Have you installed build-essential ?
[12:31] <__doc__> right, thx I'll look at it
[12:31] <variant> chris_shafto: apt-get install build-essential
[12:31] <kairu0> hey
[12:31] <CoRnJuLiOx> eek. source
[12:31] <bartbes> chris_shafto: when you have the right packages (build-essential) just type make and sudo make install
[12:31] <rausb0> chris_shafto: first question is: do you need to compile at all? which software is it?
[12:31] <variant> chris_shafto: bearing in mind that whatever application you have may need other build time librarys installed
[12:31] <jml> I've got a BCM4306 wifi card running inside a powerbook g4. I've installed bcm43xx-fwcutter and can scan for available networks. However, I cannot join my wireless network.
[12:31] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, What are you compiling?
[12:31] <rausb0> bartbes: dont recommend compiling from source if there is a ubuntu package for it.
[12:31] <fremeer> everytime i try to run ubuntu live cd i get the error PCI:Cannot Allocate region 2 of device 0000:05:00.0 PCI:Cannot Allocate region 0 of device 0000:05:00.1
[12:31] <chris_shafto> im not compiling anything lol
[12:31] <chris_shafto> trying to install aMSN
[12:31] <chris_shafto> :D
[12:31] <CoRnJuLiOx> aMSN?
[12:32] <ardchoille42> !amsn
[12:32] <ubotu> amsn: An MSN messenger written in tcl. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.95-2.1 (edgy), package size 2261 kB, installed size 7752 kB
[12:32] <variant> chris_shafto: there is an ubuntu package for that.. just apt-get install amsn
[12:32] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, It's in the universe repo
[12:32] <chris_shafto> i know it is lol
[12:32] <jml> I'm using network-admin to connect. It doesn't give very informative errors.
[12:32] <chris_shafto> but its old copy
[12:32] <jml> I'd like some help diagnosing the problem.
[12:32] <variant> chris_shafto: try teh backports repo
[12:32] <chris_shafto> variant: wth is that XD
[12:32] <bartbes> rausb0: He says he wants to know how, so I said it. I am not going to mix in a discussion about using repo's.
[12:33] <variant> chris_shafto: backports of later versoins of programs
[12:33] <jml> I'd also like a pony.
[12:33] <ardchoille42> jml, haha
[12:33] <variant> jml: nwadmin kinda sucks tbh
[12:33] <Tschaka> chris_shafto try the installer on: http://amsn-project.net/linux-downloads.php
[12:34] <__doc__> one other question. I'm after a virtualization software for ubuntu, I have an athlong xp 3000 so kvm is out the window and I guess kqemu isn't going to give me much speed increase over qemu. So there's also virtualbox. What would you recommend?
[12:34] <variant> __doc__: kqemu adds about 25% in my experience
[12:34] <Tschaka> __doc__ im using virtualbox, its pretty nice :] 
[12:34] <jml> variant: sure. I also can't connect using 'iwconfig eth0 essid <my_essid>; dhclient eth0'
[12:34] <bartbes> __doc__: it really depends on what you're emulating
[12:34] <variant> __doc__: there is allso xen
[12:35] <variant> __doc__: and vmware of course
[12:35] <chris_shafto> tschaka: how do i  run the installer? double click nothing happens
[12:35] <variant> jml: try network-manager-gnome.. it's a different program designed to make wifi simple
[12:35] <bartbes> chris_shafto: probably you have to go to the console and type in: 'sudo sh <installer filename>'
[12:35] <variant> chris_shafto: chmod +x /path/to/installer && ./installernamehere
[12:35] <jml> variant: oh, right. my bad.
[12:36] <Tschaka> chris_shafto try it with ./whatevertheinstallersnameis or with sh whatevertheisntallersnameis (in console of course)
[12:36] <jml> when I said "network admin", I meant "network-manager-gnome"
[12:36] <jml> that doesn't work either :)
[12:36] <variant> jml: you mean nm-applet?
[12:36] <__doc__> variant: but kqemu requires installation of gcc 3.4, I find software that requires stone-old gcc suspect
[12:36] <jml> variant: right
[12:37] <Dreamglider> 6.10 is edgy rightr ?
[12:37] <gizmo_the_great1> hi. I using Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. In Firefox, when I click 'Help --> About' it says version 1.5.4. I want to upgrade to at least 1.5.9, or better still version 2. I've tried to use Synatpic package manager and it says it has updated it, but still reported as 1.5.4. I also tried 'sudo apt-get install firefox' but says I have the latest version already? What gives?
[12:37] <Dreamglider> right*
[12:37] <variant> __doc__: works for me.. and gcc is hardly stone age
[12:37] <bartbes> dreamglider: yes
[12:37] <Dreamglider> tks
[12:38] <aoupi> gizmo_the_great1: time to upgrade to edgy :)
[12:38] <jml> so, anyway, I'd like to know for sure that it's not a driver problem
[12:38] <bartbes> gizmo_the_great1: in ubuntu dapper I had 1.5.9, and 2 is (now) only for edgy
[12:38] <gizmo_the_great1> aoupi: i like the stablity of Dapper though
[12:38] <gizmo_the_great1> bartbes: how did you get 1.5.9 to install though?
[12:39] <gizmo_the_great1> bartbes: i am trying but it stays at 1.5.4
[12:39] <bef> gizmo_the_great1: You can simply install the 1.54 package and install firefox 2 from the website, no need to upgrade ubuntu if you're happy with dapper!
[12:39] <DeeTahPanLtah> i just installed ubuntu on my brand-new comp. i have gigabyte geforce 7300,is there any way to get drivers with 3d support for it? ;d
[12:40] <zoli2k> !nvidia > zoli2k
[12:40] <zoli2k> !nvidia
[12:40] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:40] <DeeTahPanLtah> but it's gigabyte!
[12:40] <gizmo_the_great1> bef: right - I will try that then. It is downloading now, as a tar.gz file. Hopefully it will be a deb file or something :-)
[12:40] <jeanjean> DeeTahPanLtah, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=nvidia&titlesearch=Titels
[12:40] <__doc__> variant: gcc 3.4 is stone age. ok maybe not stone age, but definitly bronze age.
[12:40] <bartbes> gizmo_the_great: aren't they in universe/multiverse/backports?
[12:41] <DeeTahPanLtah> well,are nvidia drivers compatible with gigabyte stuff?
[12:41] <TooR4u> hee i want to make my type fast ...;is there any good software to improve my typing skill......?
[12:41] <bartbes> gizmo_the_great1, do you have all the repo's checked?
[12:41] <jml> so, I don't mean to be troublesome, but this is the third time I've tried to get ubuntu working on this powerbook. I _really_ want help getting wireless going.
[12:41] <gizmo_the_great1> bartbes: i thought so - let me go and check..
[12:41] <Vigo> Did any of you see the e.mails from zdnet? does ubuntu support automatix2 ?
[12:41] <tbf> which package has the man pages for glibc?

[12:46] <gizmo_the_great1> bartbes: i had not got all the repos checked! I did do, ages ago, but between then and now they appear to have become unchecked!! Maybe it was when I upgraded the kernel or something? Running Upgrade Manager now
[12:47] <Vigo> Is it a supported release,
[12:47] <UsernameBob> linux mint is not made by cannonical or ubuntu
[12:48] <UsernameBob> it's a different distro
[12:48] <aoupi> Vigo: it is not supported by the ubuntu folks it has no more to do with ubuntu than ubuntu has with debian
[12:48] <Vigo> Thank you
[12:48] <_3fg> I'm trying to use the "Sans" font in another application, but it isn't showing up in the list of fonts even though it's the font the OS uses.

[12:55] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[01:01] <_3fg> thanks aoupi, that found it
[01:01] <bartbes> chris_shafto, .bin means nothing, but if youre sure it a binary try ./<filename> or sh <filename>
[01:01] <ardchoille42> gezzabob, You may be interested in running a window manager instead of a full desktop. Fluxbox, openbox and windowmaker are good
[01:01] <Dreamglider> synaptic says alakarte is installed, but i cannot see it in the menu anywhere. help!
[01:02] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, right click on the menu and choose edit menus.
[01:02] <ardchoille42> Alacarte is the menu editor
[01:02] <Dreamglider> ahh thanks
[01:02] <gezzabob> do you guys think running xfce or fluxbox instead of gnome help on a toshiba satillite 4200 500mhz 128mg ram be better ?
[01:02] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, Or you can open a terminal and run: alacarte
[01:02] <aoupi> gezzabob: try xubuntu or fluxbuntu(very beta)
[01:02] <aoupi> gezzabob: it will be much faster
[01:03] <seravitae> haha wow
[01:03] <fremeer> can i get help with installation here?
[01:03] <Dreamglider> ardchoille42, no that does not work i tried
[01:03] <ardchoille42> gezzabob, I'm not sure 128Mb ram is going to be good enough
[01:03] <gezzabob> yes ardchoille was thinking the same ..... its a toss up between xfce or fluxbox  ..
[01:03] <seravitae> no wonder ubuntu was freezing. one of my sticks of ram reported 35,000+ errors in under 30 seconds
[01:03] <aoupi> gezzabob: I used to run fluxbox on a 233Mhz 94M RAM it was actuay usable :)
[01:03] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, nothing happens when you right click on the menus and choose "Edit Menus"? What abaout opening a terminal and running: alacarte  ?
[01:04] <Spee_Der> !ask | fremeer

[01:04] <fremeer> error when doing text install
[01:05] <gezzabob> cool aoupi.....gnome on here isnt that bad but I would like to see how much ram it really uses against the like of fluxbox or fxce
[01:05] <Dreamglider> ardchoille42, no rightklick onn the menu and menu edit works, but alakarte in terminal does nothing.
[01:05] <adri_> thank you, i'm going to test those....
[01:05] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, are you typing alakarte or alacarte?
[01:06] <gizmo_the_great1> the Mozilla Firefox website says 'to uninstall firefox on Linux delete the firefox directory' but which one? There is one in /etc/firefox and one is usr/lib/firefox, /usr/shar/firefox?
[01:06] <Dreamglider> ardchoille42,  K
[01:06] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, it's "c" not "k"
[01:07] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, hahaha

[01:07] <Dreamglider> ardchoille42, but i just instaled amsn but i cant see it in alacarte !
[01:08] <ardchoille42> Dreamglider, You may have to add it yourself. Not all apps add a menu item.
[01:08] <gezzabob> great gizmo tring that now
[01:08] <zoli2k> gizmo_the_great1: to uninstall firefox do: apt-get remove firefox
[01:08] <Dreamglider> ok thanks.
[01:08] <aoupi> gezzabob: ps aux | grep [gG] nome | awk '{ print $4 }' and add by hand :)
[01:09] <aoupi> gezzabob: but that only shows apps with gnome in their name, most are called gSomething i think
[01:10] <aoupi> (the result would be in % btw)
[01:10] <Vigo> Thank you kindly for the information.
[01:10] <gezzabob> gizmo tried that it doent give me memory used at application level also tried free -m ...looks like totalling the mem usage in system monitor for all things gmone lol that will be fun

[01:20] <JJ_> hi all. just to let you know I got everything running I asked questions about
[01:20] <redemptateur> hello
[01:20] <JJ_> many thanks for the help, lots more needed, ill be back :-)
[01:20] <webben> Enverex, hmm I wonder if it's a kernel module
[01:20] <Enverex> webben, No, it's libraries
[01:21] <webben> Enverex, it can be compiled as a module: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
[01:21] <webben> dunno what ubuntu does though
[01:21] <Enverex> webben, I know all about ALSA. I don't need the module, I need the libraries
[01:22] <redemptateur> hello i've installed ubuntu 6.10 and i've unmuted all my channels and i still can't record anything ... can someone help me ?
[01:22] <webben> Enverex, http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/source/alsa-lib
[01:22] <webben> looks relevant
[01:22] <gezzabob> I dont think there is much point compiling a custom kernel on ubuntu to sqeeze a bit more out on this laptop anybody think it I be waisting my time or do you thing it may make a difference ?
[01:23] <hyphenated> gezzabob: I highly doubt it. I'm fairly certain the laptop spends more of its time waiting for you than vice versa :-)
[01:24] <SeraVitae> hi um, how can I get details on my cdrom drive?
[01:24] <gezzabob> lol yer your probably right hyphenated :P
[01:24] <SeraVitae> My pc stopped booting and hung at POST before. I found i had a faulty stick of ram. I removed it, but my cdrom drive upon pressing eject froze my pc again.
[01:24] <Enverex> webben, Ah, it's under "asound" rather than "alsa", figures
[01:24] <kristjans_> how can i manage xubuntu startup programs from the terminal? i messed something up...
[01:25] <SeraVitae> I wiggled the power cable and it works now, but /dev/hda doesnt exist (i have all sata HDDs)
[01:25] <intrico> hello
[01:26] <intrico> anyone here familiar with Software Update errors?
[01:26] <intrico> specifically a post-installation script error
[01:26] <lupine_85> t's package-specific
[01:26] <lupine_85> (the solution, that is)
[01:27] <intrico> I see
[01:27] <intrico> This one is:
[01:27] <lupine_85> I generally modify the script in question so line 2 is exit 0, then remove the packag
[01:27] <intrico> E: gnome-netstatus-applet: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134
[01:27] <gably> I need help
[01:27] <lupine_85> yeah. it means nothing to me :/
[01:27] <zoli2k> gably: ask
[01:27] <gably> what is the password of the root
[01:27] <gably> ?
[01:28] <lupine_85> doesn't exist
[01:28] <zoli2k> gably: there is no password default
[01:28] <ardchoille42> gably, We told you before, there isn't a password for root. the root account is locked.
[01:28] <lupine_85> you can get root privs using sudo
[01:28] <gably> I have a server installed, and the folder /opt/lampp/htdocs/ I cannot edit
[01:28] <redemptateur> hello i've installed ubuntu 6.10 and i've unmuted all my channels and i still can't record anything ... can someone help me ?
[01:28] <ardchoille42> !sudo | gably
[01:28] <ubotu> gably: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:28] <jake_> how can i use dph-50u ( usb adaptor for skype ) with ubuntu ??
[01:28] <lupine_85> so can set a root password using sudo passwd
[01:28] <gably> because i have nog rights
[01:28] <popuptarget> anyone have an idea as to why programs take up to 10 seconds to display?
[01:28] <zoli2k> gably: you should use "sudo" and to get root terminal sodu -i
[01:28] <zoli2k> gably: sudo -i  and your user password will give you a root terminal
[01:29] <gably> and then?
[01:29] <gably> i've done sudo -i in root terminal
[01:29] <zoli2k> gably: if you need to set root password give passwd as root.
[01:30] <gably> i've done sudo -i in root terminal, and what must I do next?
[01:30] <chris_shafto> whats the command to open root system folder with full permissions
[01:30] <chris_shafto> ?
[01:30] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, gksudo nautilus
[01:30] <storeyzy_bio> why does passwd response so slowly when I type the wrong password?
[01:30] <zoli2k> gably:  what you want to do? your problem was that you did not get acces. as root you allready have??? so what is the problem?
[01:30] <gably> What is the pasword of root user?
[01:30] <ardchoille42> chris_shafto, But, be careful with that nautilus window
[01:30] <chris_shafto> yep i know
[01:30] <zoli2k> storeyzy_bio: security purposes

[01:32] <gably> owh, how i can edit in the terminal then?
[01:33] <zoli2k> gably: gedit filename
[01:33] <gably> owh, allright I'll try
[01:33] <defrysk> gably, sudo nano -w /path/to/file
[01:33] <gezzabob> gably what is on the command prompt gably@blarblar $ or gably@blarblar#  in other words have you got a $ or #
[01:33] <zoli2k> gably:  or if you wanna edit a file without root terminal, only write "sude gedit /my_important_file_to_edit".
[01:34] <kokoa> hello
[01:34] <redemptateur> hello
[01:34] <defrysk> gably, as normal user without the sudo bit
[01:34] <kokoa> i have ubuntu (gnome) and want to enter the web
[01:34] <ardchoille42> gably, Do not use sudo with gedit. Use gksudo with gedit.
[01:34] <gably> I'll try
[01:34] <zoli2k> kokoa: firefox
[01:34] <kokoa> in kde desktop my Router modem work automate
[01:34] <gezzabob> I beleive it is $ for normal user and # for root user is that correct guys
[01:34] <chris_shafto> i got some stuff in my applications menu that doesnt work how do i delete um?
[01:34] <ardchoille42> zoli2k,  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[01:34] <kokoa> how i can run my network card in gnome
[01:35] <ardchoille42> gezzabob, I don't know, I've never had to use a root terminal
[01:35] <chris_shafto> as in the links
[01:35] <zoli2k> ardchoille42: what is the reason, because sude can not be used? I have seen this advice on many places, but I did not understand the reason.
[01:35] <Lunar_Lamp> gezzabob, normally, yes.
[01:35] <ardchoille42> zoli2k,  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo  <-- that explains it
[01:36] <redemptateur> hello i've installed ubuntu 6.10 and i've unmuted all my channels and i still can't record anything ... can someone help me ?
[01:36] <ardchoille42> zoli2k, Basically, it's sudo for cli apps and gksudo fpr GUI apps
[01:36] <zoli2k> ardchoille42: Ok, I see. This explains everything ;)
[01:36] <popuptarget> Chris have you tried system,preference,menu layout?
[01:36] <zoli2k> ardchoille42: sudo does not change the environment variables.
[01:36] <ardchoille42> zoli2k, I had to learn this recently too.. the hard way
[01:36] <intrico> Does anyone know if it's possible to copy stuff out of the "Update" terminal panel?
[01:36] <gezzabob> i'm sure its a # when logged into terminal as root in bash but nobody really see's that now on ubuntu with the root account disabled .... I guess never mind I was just going off on one sry
[01:37] <gably> I doesn't work
[01:37] <ardchoille42> zoli2k, sudo can change the perms on your .ICEauthority file, if it does, you're screwed for logging in
[01:37] <redemptateur> test
[01:37] <ardchoille42> passed
[01:37] <ardchoille42> :)
[01:37] <redemptateur> thanks
[01:38] <intrico> Or maybe someone might know where the info in the Update terminal panel is logged?
[01:38] <gezzabob> lol
[01:38] <intrico> I checked syslog, but the info was not logged there
[01:38] <ardchoille42> gezzabob, From what I have seen on other distros, you're right, the prompt changes
[01:39] <bartbes> I want to change my fan speed with lm-sensors, but it doesn't work, i'm using a AsRock 775Dual-VSTA
[01:39] <gably> I've changed the root account
[01:39] <gably> I'm trying out now
[01:39] <gably> goodbye

[01:48] <gezzabob> like i said new to xchat / irc (been on other chats but never this)
[01:48] <erUSUL> pbureau: how are you accessing the drive? samba or nfs? i should check the configuration of the network drive
[01:49] <pbureau> okay I mount a stand alone HDD with the following command :  udo mount -t smbfs -o username=guest //storage-1d4d/PUBLIC/music /media/nwdrive , the problem is that I cannot write to it

[01:52] <gably> and it works
[01:53] <gably> but who want to test it?
[01:53] <gably> you just have to go to a site
[01:53] <gezzabob> daleg what happens when you try system-services in gnome ?
[01:53] <erUSUL> pbureau: so you are accessing it bia smb (samba) as username guest... as i said you should check the configuration of the network drive so you can create users others than guest (that as guest should and have no privs) with write acces to the drive
[01:53] <gably> who wants to tes  my server?
[01:53] <daleg> gezzabob, I use kubuntu
[01:54] <gably> you only have to go a site
[01:54] <gably> who wants to do that
[01:54] <gably> please?
[01:54] <gably> Its not dangerous!
[01:54] <gably> please??
[01:54] <pbureau> erUSUL-  you  know let me check the admin section of the hdd station
[01:54] <abuyazan> hiall
[01:54] <gably> who wants to test my server?
[01:54] <gably> please?

[01:55] <daleg> gezzabob, with kde it says there're some problems with old modules
[01:56] <CorpseFeeder> i want to copy my entire ubuntu installation to another hard disk inside my machine. Is there a simple way to do this?
[01:56] <kaoz_> can someone help me with a networking issue?
[01:57] <Luis07> can anyone tell me the differente between "sudo -s" and "sudo su"?
[01:57] <daleg> !paste
[01:57] <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)
[01:57] <bidule> 
[01:57] <gezzabob> is your system up to date and how new is the install has it been modified eg have you had it a long time and changed loads of things daleg ?
[01:57] <erUSUL> CorpseFeeder: from a live cd, once you mounted the two partitions do (cd /source/directory && tar cf - . ) | (cd /dest/directory && tar xvfp -)
[01:58] <kaoz_> can someone help me get my windows box and my ubuntu box to share files across a network?
[01:58] <pbureau> erUSUL- the thing is this NAS nextstar HDD enclosure has username/pswrd for ftp but nothing for shared folders...
[01:58] <daleg> gezzabob, it's up-to-date, and I can't remember any new configuration
[01:59] <gezzabob> i beleive sudo -s will start a new clean root terminal with new profile and sudo su will change your current terminal to root terminal I think luis07
[01:59] <pbureau> erUSUL- and to complicate things, I can RW with windows over the network but not with linux, could it be the mount = sudo =root user account only.. when I access it through regular user it becomes only RO?
[01:59] <daleg> gezzabob, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3082/
[02:00] <Luis07> gezzabob, both give you root privileges in the terminal
[02:00] <gezzabob> kaoz please take a look at samba search for it through the forum it should point you in the right direction

[02:06] <ardchoille42> erUSUL, You type too fast :X
[02:06] <ardchoille42> XD
[02:07] <pbureau> popuptarget- sorry lost that thread question, whats the issue again ?
[02:07] <Intelligitimate> I am taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry 3. I want to know if there is a freeware version of the Maple math software available for Linux, as I would like to be able to have some of the 3d objects rendered for me.
[02:07] <Intelligitimate> Well, not a freeware version per se, but a freeware alternative.
[02:07] <pbureau> Intelligitimate-  I would check http://www.freshmeat.net/
[02:07] <Yoric> mmmhhhh.....
[02:07] <fragged> Hey, are there any free servers that give me a console over HTTPS that will connect to a SSH server in event of a nasty firewall that blocks everything but http packets?
[02:07] <popuptarget> apps load very slowly
[02:07] <seravitae> pbureau: okay i'm back
[02:08] <Yoric> I'm trying to run Savage on my laptop, and failing.
[02:08] <popuptarget> ie more than 10 seconds
[02:08] <pbureau> popuptarget- ah yes..lol
[02:08] <itstaff> hi all I am new to ubuntu 6.06.1 and would like to shift to Kubuntu, how do i do?
[02:08] <ardchoille42> Intelligitimate, You can open Synaptic and do a search for math.. you might find what you need in there.
[02:08] <gezzabob> somebody msg about where the w32codes are at take a look at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[02:09] <seravitae> pbureau: the driver install script has two options. "install driver" or "create patch" as two methods of installation. install drivers freezes my machine, but create patch doesnt. it made the patch fine, but nothing in ifconfig
[02:09] <Intelligitimate> The problem with that, ardchoille42, is that there are too many things to choose from. I do not know what will satisfy my needs.
[02:09] <popuptarget> what did I screw up?  it has not always been this way
[02:09] <sharperguy> on ubuntu is it possible to get amarok to appear with my media player rather than it opening the folder?
[02:09] <ardchoille42> Intelligitimate, I see your point
[02:09] <ardchoille42> gezzabob, I believe the w32codecs are in Seveas's repo
[02:09] <pbureau> seravitae- I did a search on your type of card, the 'Unknown device 4364' in your lspci indicates missing information about the chipset, I am assuming you can read this on the card and verify you are loading the right drivers. I search google for that card with unbuntu and there is alot of chatter/blogs/bugs reporta about this type of card
[02:10] <seravitae> pbureau:  yeah most of them talk about recompiling the kernel
[02:10] <seravitae> i just went to recompile mine with the patch
[02:10] <seravitae> and 'make menuconfig' doesnt even work
[02:10] <seravitae> and now /usr/src/linux has a broken symlink to modules and firmware. :/
[02:11] <pbureau> seraphim- It does look like you need to recompile a few things to get this to work... sorry mate I can't be of more help
[02:11] <gezzabob> ok thks ardchoille42 im sure somebody on here asked about them but when i came back I could see who asked ....:S
[02:11] <pbureau> that was for seravitae
[02:11] <seravitae> that's okay
[02:11] <ardchoille42> !seveas | gezzabob
[02:11] <ubotu> gezzabob: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[02:20] <pbureau> BlueEagle- lol considering I started on computers with 1.88hz speed and 8kb ram .. 10seconds give me plenty of time to light my cigar  :)
[02:20] <ardchoille42> gezzabob, You connect to the freenode network and then /join #ubuntu
[02:20] <popuptarget> right B_E but enough time to go and get a drink

[02:21] <ardchoille42> ar2k7, Yes, but when you click on the Linux link, you will be taken to a page that will download version 9.. I guess someone never updated that page.
[02:21] <CorpseFeeder> pbureau: yeah somehting like that
[02:21] <fragged> where can I find a list of software on the Ubuntu CD's?
[02:22] <ardchoille42> ar2k7,  http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

[02:22] <Devi1ish> Hi all
[02:22] <Devi1ish> can anyone tell me how to mount my windows partitions using the CD boot of Ubuntu?
[02:23] <pbureau> !mount
[02:23] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[02:23] <zak_> about time i reboot... i've been using hibernate [at least]  every day for 11 days without a real reboot, or even logging out of gnome, and things are starting to get slow
[02:23] <ar2k7> ardchoille42, ty
[02:23] <ardchoille42> zak_, Then you have an app with a memory leak
[02:23] <ardchoille42> ar2k7, yw
[02:23] <tmdca> Hello lads. I got a MacBook witch i plan to install ubuntu on. how do i make it boot from the cd? it dosn't work holding down c when it stars.. please help a girl ^^
[02:24] <CorpseFeeder> pbureau: I have ubuntu 6.10 installed on a hard disk sda1 and I want to copy that installation to another hard drive (hda1). I am currently booted off a live CD.
[02:24] <frogzoo> tmdca: you need to go into bios & change the boot order - move cdrom to the top, save & restart
[02:24] <tmdca> frogzoo: it's a mac. how do i do that+
[02:24] <seravitae> Heh.
[02:24] <pbureau> chuckles, I dont think there is a bios menu on a mac is there ?
[02:25] <grazie> tmdca: Did you verify the md5 sum?
[02:25] <tmdca> yes, the cd is correct
[02:25] <zak_> ardchoille42: there's no one thing taking up a lot of memory - except for firefox, but that's usual, and it's been restarted lots [as usual :)] ... i'm no fan of large C applications, so i'll just assume the entirity of Gnome is riddled with small memory leaks :)
[02:25] <pbureau> tmdca- I know this is going to be a dumb question perhaps but I have seen it done, did you burn the iso for mac ?
[02:25] <tmdca> there is no boot menu on a mac! i spent the last night trying to figure it out...
[02:25] <ardchoille42> zak_, Actually, firefox is quite leaky
[02:26] <seravitae> Can anyone help me compile my kernel? this is what i get: http://pastebin.com/868646
[02:26] <tmdca> no i did that from a windows-computer
[02:26] <grazie> tmdca: no bios on mac so ignore that comment
[02:26] <Mba7eth> hi all .... guys i have ask this Questions many time but no answer ?!!?! is there an expert who can guide me to solve my problem ?
[02:26] <zak_> ardchoille42: seems to get worse with each release, too :s
[02:26] <frogzoo> tmdca: well I know it's possible, not sure how
[02:26] <ardchoille42> zak_, lol, yeah I know
[02:26] <CorpseFeeder> pbureau, i have a gparted CD.. will I be able to use that to copy the ubuntu installation from one hard disk to the other? Will the computer know to boot from the right hard disk or will it still boot from the old hard disk?
[02:26] <ardchoille42> No BIOS menu on a MAC? That sucks out loud.
[02:26] <fragged> hmm, is there a difference between ubuntu deskop and ubuntu server?
[02:27] <zak_> Mba7eth, just ask, and someone will, with a little luck, help
[02:27] <ardchoille42> fragged, server has no GUI, desktop has the gnome desktop environment.
[02:27] <frogzoo> tmdca: how do you know there's no bios menu - mebbe you just the right key combo to open it?
[02:27] <asfalt> i have two hdd's, one formatted with / and /swap and the other as /driveb , ubuntu is already installed, can i convert "/" to span both disks ala LVM or is this something I need to do during the installation partitioning?
[02:27] <frogzoo> tmdca: alt f4 ?
[02:27] <Mba7eth> i want to play to sound files at the same time with two different applications ( i.e. VLC , Realplayer)
[02:27] <Mba7eth> ?

[02:28] <tmdca> frogzoo: it feels like i tried everything. i tryeid about 10 kinds of key combos
[02:28] <TooR4u> how to make flash files in linux?

[02:29] <popuptarget> zak_  what can one do to speed up
[02:29] <nothlit> macs have even better booting, they don't even need a bootloader
[02:29] <tmdca> yes, there is macodx on it now
[02:29] <zak_> popuptarget: .. to speed up what?

[02:30] <grazie> tmdca: yes, but can you boot the os x cd/dvd by holding down c on boot?
[02:30] <asfalt> Mba7eth what happens when you try now? error message?
[02:30] <Mba7eth> asfalt : thanks in advance :)
[02:30] <popuptarget> Zak_  I hibernate daily and also shut down daily.  I just notice that apps and the enviro is slowing down
[02:31] <Mba7eth> asfalt: yeah it says that another application is using the sound , can't be played
[02:31] <tmdca> dont know, only tried only the diagnostic cd
[02:32] <grazie> tmdca: if that works - good. There is a good alternative way to boot a cd...but it esacpes me right now...let me think
[02:33] <tmdca> grazie: thanks a lot. =)

[03:02] <webmaren> alright looks good now
[03:02] <pbureau> man you guys keep passing this info on me, but your not paying attention to the details of the question, this is not a physical hdd on the machine, this is a network (using samba) drive.. the mount options is smbfs not ntfs
[03:03] <IdleOne> pbureau: all good but the drive is ntfs and you cannot write to it without risk of losing data
[03:04] <pbureau> IdleOne- now there is an answer I can accept
[03:04] <nothlit> pbureau, its a NAS?
[03:04] <pbureau> nothlit- yep
[03:04] <nothlit> pbureau, you need to add uid or gid to your mount options
[03:04] <nothlit> either the number, or the name
[03:04] <trymmi> Where can I get additional codecs for Mplayer?

[03:08] <nothlit> IdleOne, theres no issue
[03:08] <riotkittie> ubuntu: what file system?
[03:08] <nothlit> IdleOne, works fine
[03:08] <nothlit> pbureau, you can only mount shares
[03:08] <frogzoo> IdleOne: not as easy as just saying someone needs to fix it
[03:08] <pbureau> so it should look like sudo mount -t smbfs -o guest,uid=1000 //storage-1d4d/PUBLIC /media/nwdrive?
[03:08] <nothlit> pbureau, the music folder will automatically be created in nwdrive
[03:08] <IdleOne> frogzoo: I know
[03:08] <nothlit> thats how transparently mounting works
[03:09] <nothlit> pbureau, ehm, sure... i usually add the options at the end and leave out -t smbfs, but it should work
[03:09] <nothlit> pbureau, if you're the first user
[03:09] <pbureau> nothlit- not really, used to play around with slackware,

[03:15] <JosefK> adding a folder named 'UnitTest' to a MonoDevelop project crashes it :/ *cries*
[03:15] <nothlit> pbureau, shutting down would also close any apps that may have been in that directory
[03:15] <nothlit> You're using mono :P
[03:16] <rvalles> IdleOne: that doesn't help much
[03:16] <JosefK> nothlit, pfft, so does beagle ^^
[03:16] <rvalles> IdleOne: since I have to use a newer kernel than ubuntu's

[03:20] <ecastro> hi! I have (at least i think so) a simple question. I have installed winxp in a partition and i had before this ubuntu installed (and i still have it, i didnt delete the ubuntu partition). But now i only get to boot to winxp (no more grub boot manager). So i try to remove the "boot" flag of the winxp partition and set it back to the ubuntu's one, but i get an error at boot time. So, my question is how can i boot up my ubuntu partition if the

[03:27] <__doc__> hi, I'm trying out virtualbox. But after creation of a new image when I hit start it just sits there at 0% saying "starting remote session"
[03:28] <Mez> cheers nalioth
[03:28] <Vandalay> say what horse
[03:29] <IdleOne> that was retarded
[03:29] <Vandalay> seek help
[03:29] <covOPprometheus> can anyone tell me how I can make that files of a folder are chmoded automtically upon creation, or how I can control that a program run by su writes files with permisions for everyone?
[03:29] <Mez> IdleOne, I always read that with a space after the third letter
[03:30] <lukus001> idleone, that grub link didnt fix the problem.   it still sayd unable to mount drive when i try booting my linux os
[03:30] <IdleOne> Mez: seems you may need a therapist also
[03:30] <IdleOne> :P
[03:31] <__doc__> virtualbox doesn't work, should I now try qemu?
[03:31] <IdleOne> lukus001:  I have never had problems with grub because I dont use windows. perhaps someone else can help you more describe your issue again with relevant info
[03:32] <storeyzy_bio> i think he overwrite the MBR when he installed windows
[03:32] <storeyzy_bio> that's why he can't boot into linux
[03:32] <Vandalay> with dual boot install xp first
[03:32] <Vandalay> or remove the xp-disk from ide
[03:32] <IdleOne> storeyzy_bio: probably and now needs to reinstall grub but I have never done that before
[03:33] <storeyzy_bio> i suggest reinstalling if you don't have important data on your harddisk
[03:33] <lukus001> Story, possibly.   I had windows already install but I just reinstalled over the top again.  Linux and windows are on differernt hard drive, if i boot my linux HD, grub loads : if i select linux from the list of OS it say unable to mount drive
[03:33] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, when you boot, it goes into grub?
[03:33] <devilsadvocate> automatically?
[03:34] <lukus001> devil, if im booting from that HD, yes.  like it always used to do there are about 5 option for linux and then windows was on the bottom
[03:34] <chamo_> hello
[03:34] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, how do you select which hard drive to boot from?
[03:34] <lukus001> Bios
[03:35] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, is there any particualr reason you are changing those in the bios?
[03:35] <Arcad3> cam someone paste me a example command of compiling with prefix..
[03:35] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> I need help with removing islsm_usb... what is it? where is it? is it something i delete or something i apt-get-uninstalls?
[03:35] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, seleting the windows hard drive boots you directly into windows?
[03:36] <chamo_> I have a question. I cannot find a way to launch a script _in a console_ (need to be opened), after login.
[03:36] <bulmer> Arcad3: compiling? in C maybe you need to visit the C channel? or java if its java?
[03:36] <lukus001> Devil, I window hd does load windows directly, yes
[03:36] <Arcad3>   UbuntuN00B_HBG: apt-get remove islsm_usb
[03:36] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, do you have a separate grub partition by any chance?
[03:36] <chamo_> Arcad3: what do you want to do exactly ?
[03:37] <chamo_> Arcad3: like :     gcc -c myfile.c myfile2.c -Wall
[03:37] <chamo_> ?
[03:37] <Arcad3> compile a c code in a directory defined by me
[03:37] <pro1> hi, I have a problem with my mouse pointer in a dual head environment (ati 9600XT readon)
[03:37] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, did you add a second hard drive, or change the master / slave settings?
[03:37] <lukus001> devil, i've really dont know.  I just installed ubuntu fro a CD and grub installed itself
[03:37] <bulmer> chamo: can you source a script ? like so  . ./scripthere
[03:37] <chamo_> Arcad3: it should'nt be a problem
[03:37] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, ok. thats good
[03:37] <lukus001> Ive not changed anything, ive only formatted /install window back ontop of the windows hd
[03:37] <Arcad3> paste me a sample command please
[03:37] <chamo_> bulmer: you mean, exec it ?
[03:38] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, are you now using the same computer?
[03:38] <pro1> can somebody help me?
[03:38] <lukus001> yes, im on a live cd
[03:38] <bulmer> chamo: I thought that was you question?
[03:38] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, excellent
[03:38] <bulmer> your*
[03:38] <sixpointeight> I just downloaded a theme, but it was in a tarball, how do I compile it / install it?
[03:38] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, open a terminal

[03:38] <lukus001> okay
[03:38] <Arcad3> !windows

[03:38] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, now, in that, type sudo fdisk -l
[03:38] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Arcad3: thanks! then Im supposted to remove and reinstall ndiswrapper... is than an apt-get thing too?
[03:39] <sixpointeight> It doesn't have ./configure or autogen.sh.
[03:39] <lukus001> yep
[03:39] <ardchoille42> sixpointeight, What kind of theme? GTK2? Icon? Metacity? GDM?
[03:39] <bulmer> chamo:  do you mean a script to be run as soon as you logon?
[03:39] <Arcad3> yes
[03:39] <devilsadvocate> look at the output of fdisk, lukus001 , now, is that familaira, as in, are you able to recognize your partitions?
[03:39] <Arcad3> apt-get install or remove
[03:39] <mzuverink> Ive been booting my notebook when plugged in with the acpi=off and apm=off options, Ive been adding them at the grub menu.  Can I add a line to menu.lst and label it "kernel v-home" and then edit the other and label it kernel-v mobile"?  And if I do, everytime grub gets updated it will revert, correct?
[03:39] <chamo_> bulmer: yes, but the script needs to open the Terminal windows
[03:39] <chamo_> not be run in the background
[03:40] <chamo_> I cannot figure out how to launch this
[03:40] <lukus001> devilsadvocate, yes it looks identical to how it was before i reinstalled windows
[03:40] <devilsadvocate> chamo, add it in the startup (in session manager)
[03:40] <pro1> hi, what do I have to do to get some help?
[03:40] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, now, which of them is your ubuntu partition
[03:40] <devilsadvocate> what is it called?
[03:40] <bulmer> chamo_: any reason why you need a Terminal window to be open just to run a script? whats the use of the terminal window for? requires your input?
[03:40] <lukus001> sda1
[03:40] <IdleOne> pro1: ask a question and be patient :)

[03:41] <sixpointeight> gdm
[03:41] <storeyzy_bio> lukus001, you have 2 harddisk? so install grub to the linux harddisk.
[03:41] <toto_> how can i add ntfs support in ubuntu?
[03:41] <chamo_> I need the terminal to show the output of the command
[03:41] <chamo_> in real time
[03:41] <IdleOne> !ntfs > toto_
[03:41] <ardchoille42> sixpointeight, Open System -> Adminstration -> Login Window and click the Add button
[03:41] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, whcih text editr are you familiar with?
[03:41] <chamo_> maybe I have to "screen" it
[03:41] <chamo_> that's an idea
[03:41] <chamo_> :D
[03:41] <bulmer> chamo_: you cant redirect it to a file ?
[03:41] <jianingy> toto_: you should compile ntfs in your kernel
[03:41] <lukus001> devil, the one in the accesories
[03:42] <lukus001> gedit
[03:42] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:42] <chamo_> no
[03:42] <storeyzy_bio> toto_: google ntfs 3g ubuntu
[03:42] <chamo_> I need to have it displayed for "control" purpose
[03:42] <GinaGrrrl> quit
[03:42] <IdleOne> storeyzy_bio: why do they have to google it when the bot already has the link ?
[03:42] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, type "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup"
[03:42] <storeyzy_bio> !MBR

[03:42] <sixpointeight> Thank you.
[03:43] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, then type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[03:43] <lukus001> if i do gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst its empty
[03:43] <pro1> ok, I have an ATI Readon 9600 in dual head configuration with a Sony G40 and a Syncmaster 215tw. Both are running well, but when I move the mouse cursor from monitor 0 (LCD Syncmaster) to Sony, I get only a box for the mouse curser. On monitor 0 (LCD) mouse cursor works well. That is the problem.
[03:43] <bulmer> chamo_:  when you boot up and run this script, you then want to interrupt the boot process because you may not like the script output?
[03:43] <pro1> PS: I am using ubuntu 6.1
[03:43] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, do "cd /boot/grub"
[03:43] <lukus001> oh wait i missed ot the t
[03:44] <lukus001> 2 secs :p
[03:44] <devilsadvocate> ok
[03:44] <hbaigu> chamo, xterm -e
[03:44] <Arcad3> i have a concern..i use ubuntu for 1 year now and is all runnig more than perfect games,movies,music,servers...dapper 6.06 will have the same faith as 5.04??
[03:44] <storeyzy_bio> !ntfs > storeyzy_bio
[03:44] <devilsadvocate> Arcad3, of course :)
[03:44] <IdleOne> Arcad3: yes
[03:44] <Arcad3> when ?:(
[03:44] <lukus001> oh, even spell correctly its still empty?
[03:44] <jrib> Arcad3: when what?
[03:44] <Arcad3> i like 6.06
[03:44] <IdleOne> !upgrade > Arcad3
[03:45] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, type "cd /boot/grub"
[03:45] <Arcad3> i intend to use it for years to come and my fiends too
[03:45] <lukus001> ok
[03:45] <devilsadvocate> then type "ls"
[03:45] <chamo_> hbaigu: xterm -e is not a reconized command
[03:45] <lukus001> done
[03:45] <devilsadvocate> Arcad3, i belive dapper has about 4 more years of support left
[03:45] <klm-> Arcad3: Dapper is very stable, at least as stable as 5.04. Edgy not so.
[03:45] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, do you see a bunch of files?
[03:45] <Arcad3> ogh is good then..
[03:45] <storeyzy_bio> what's unstable about edgy?
[03:46] <hbaigu> chamo, xterm -e command
[03:46] <Arcad3> i will make a repository database on some DVD.s to be shure
[03:46] <chamo_> bulmer: actually no. its a script to handle torrents after boot. the only requirment is the terminal to be open so I can see output and check everything is going OK when I want.
[03:46] <IdleOne> edgy is not unstable
[03:46] <klm-> it was unstable for me, I installed it two times from the cd and it broke down for no reason
[03:46] <lukus001> devils, its saying there isnt /boot/grub?
[03:46] <xipietotec> storeyzy_bio: nothing...but it contains more "experimental" software. new features in other words.
[03:46] <gably> heelo
[03:46] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, cd /boot then
[03:46] <gably> I've just installed a server
[03:46] <gably> and it works!
[03:46] <devilsadvocate> and then do ls
[03:47] <gably> :):)
[03:47] <IdleOne> wtg gably
[03:47] <bulmer> chamo: as the other guy suggested to run a script at boot..you can insert   xterm -e commandhere
[03:47] <gably> who wants to test the server
[03:47] <lukus001> ok now i see 6 blocks of lines after ls
[03:47] <bulmer> that will start an sterm window
[03:47] <bulmer> xterm*
[03:47] <Goldfisch> The ubuntu team described edgy as a baseline where they would start doing a lot of things, as opposed to dapper which the paid a lot of attention to stability. That is the difference. The statement "xxx is unstable" is subjective and hard to interpret, but this is based on the ubuntu team's own comments.
[03:47] <gably> Who can talk dutch here?
[03:47] <bulmer> gably give the ip address
[03:47] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, can you pastebin the output ?
[03:47] <gably> I will give you
[03:48] <devilsadvocate> !pastebin | lukus001
[03:48] <ubotu> lukus001: 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)
[03:48] <gably> 86.90.145.47
[03:48] <gably> go to
[03:48] <chamo_> i gotta try

[03:48] <lukus001> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3088/
[03:48] <gably> Does the server works?
[03:48] <bulmer> works
[03:48] <frogzoo> klm-: not really
[03:48] <Arcad3> yes
[03:48] <IdleOne> gably: yes
[03:48] <gably> Allright :)
[03:48] <daviey> Hi, i want to make a wireless access point using an old laptop and wifi card.  Anybody got any links to a good how to???
[03:49] <Arcad3> gably:
[03:49] <Arcad3> !lamp
[03:49] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:49] <gably> thankyou all for your comments
[03:49] <gably> I'm now gonna work on the site itself
[03:49] <sdac221x> hi,  i followed several guides on how to install beryl.  ive installed it on xubuntu edgy laptop with x1300 video card.  When i log into the beryl session the system "immediately" logs me out (does not show desktop at all)and created an .xsession-errors file.  any ideas what could be wrong here ?
[03:49] <klm-> frogzoo: might be I just have prejudice. but I tried to install edgy two times from the official install cd, and on both times gnomepanel was lost for good, and I had nothing to do with it. I couldn't get it back
[03:49] <gably> goodbye
[03:49] <yossir> Hi. Is there a way to install Apache 2.2.3 through Synaptic?
[03:49] <bulmer> daviey probably google has bunch of links for you .. :)
[03:49] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, ah . sorry..  my bad
[03:50] <daviey> bulmer, helpful thanx
[03:50] <yossir> Obviously it's not on the default repos, but maybe it's on a repo I don't have?
[03:50] <lukus001> devil, the last one the vmlinuz is what i see when trying to load linux
[03:50] <lukus001> oh?
[03:50] <Arcad3> i wanna compile verlihub into a defined directory...can someone paste me an example command
[03:50] <pro1> is my question in the queue?
[03:51] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3089/
[03:51] <Arcad3> what question pro1?
[03:51] <Goldfisch> sdac221x: You can flip to console mode, log in there, and try to read the .xsession file.
[03:51] <lukus001> devil, okay done
[03:51] <pro1> I have an ATI Readon 9600 in dual head configuration with a Sony G40 and a Syncmaster 215tw. Both are running well, but when I move the mouse cursor from monitor 0 (LCD Syncmaster) to Sony, I get only a box for the mouse curser. On monitor 0 (LCD) mouse cursor works well. That is the problem. I use Ubuntu 6.1 Edgy Eft
[03:51] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, now do cd /media/ubuntu/boot
[03:51] <sdac221x> Goldfish:  i already have the xsession-errors file open but u i have not idea what anything means.  (new to linux)
[03:52] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, now cd grub
[03:52] <IdleOne> pro1: there is no queue per say. ppl here are volunteers and maybe there isnt anyone who knows the answer. you need to be patient
[03:52] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, there, type sudo gedit menu.lst
[03:52] <lukus001> yep
[03:52] <lukus001> ahh
[03:52] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, now scroll down till you see the menu entries
[03:53] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, better yet, pastebin your menu.lst
[03:53] <pbureau> nothlit- well that did not work very well, when entered that command line you gave me, it locked up the laptop completly... weird.
[03:53] <lukus001> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3090/
[03:53] <Goldfisch> sdac221x: Not sure I could decipher one myself. You have to sift through and see if you can find what appears to be a breaking error message, and then try pasting that into a google search. You may find threads where other people have had the same problem. That is the trick to solving issues.
[03:53] <chamo> xterm -e /path/to/script  works great!! thanks !
[03:53] <nothlit> pbureau, you should check whats going on with just 'mount'
[03:53] <pro1> ok, I think, the different solution of the other monitor or a missing line in xorg.conf is the source of the problem
[03:54] <sdac221x> Goldfisch:  ok ill try that. thanks
[03:54] <lukus001> oh, it look like its set to hda1 when shoud bs sda1?
[03:54] <pbureau> nothlit- okay..
[03:54] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, i _think_ i know what the problem is, what you are going to do is to edit, on line 112,
[03:54] <pro1> Is it possible to configure the mouse device differently for each monitor?
[03:54] <chamo> Thanks to you all.
[03:55] <nothlit> pbureau, anyways, you sound like you have a funny system/NAS
[03:55] <lukus001> okay, what do i need to change it to?
[03:55] <Arcad3> !c++
[03:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about c++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:55] <Arcad3> !c#
[03:55] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, that is the second line on the code blosck for the first option, saying "root (hd1,0)" replace that with "root (hd0,0)")
[03:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about c# - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:57] <sad> okkkkkkkkkkk
[03:57] <sad> i stop now
[03:57] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, then you will reboot and try to boot to linux using that first menu entry. If it works, you can make the same change to alll the ubuntu - entries
[03:57] <qmf> hi there, i seem to have broken my wine by compiling 0.9.30 "The X11 driver is missing.  Check your build!" is what i'm getting (i'm not very proficient in compiling from source)

[04:01] <dsas> bowens_: Sure, or just put a "#" at the beginning of all the lines to do with it.
[04:02] <yossir> Something strange: there's a package on the default Dapper repo (here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/interpreters/ruby1.8) but somehow, it doesn't show up on Synaptic. How come?
[04:02] <bowens_> dsas: yeah same difference

[04:03] <cinnix> guys, sorry for spam, is there ubuntu channel for casual chat?

[04:03] <cinnix> thanks
[04:04] <dsas> sad: I can't connect to it using irssi either. I'd guess there is a server problem.
[04:04] <BBking> i told ya
[04:04] <yossir> Something strange: there's a package on the default Dapper repo (here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/interpreters/ruby1.8) but somehow, it doesn't show up on Synaptic. How come?
[04:04] <sad> hmm
[04:04] <sad> ok thanks
[04:04] <bowens_> dsas: i wondered why that sounded familiar, it was already commented out, i tried that last time
[04:04] <BBking> i can't connect too
[04:04] <sad> for the help
[04:04] <seravitae> does anyone know how might send a command to my system to maximise/minimise an application?
[04:04] <BBking> o/
[04:04] <dsas> bowens_: bah, which wifi card do you have?
[04:05] <bowens_> intel 8139abg
[04:05] <bowens_> doesn't have any problem actually working
[04:05] <bowens_> networkmanager app just won't pick up on it
[04:06] <bowens_> I realize this might sound quisling and nitpicky... but I like the program and it's notification options merge with kde so well
[04:06] <BBking> why are there zero ops
[04:06] <IdleOne> BBking: they are here you just dont see them
[04:06] <dsas> BBking: The ops don't idle as ops. Like sudo in ubuntu.
[04:06] <yossir> BBking: I think they just gave up and left :P
[04:07] <covOPprometheus> can anyone tell me how I can make that files of a folder are chmoded automtically upon creation, or how I can control that a program run by su writes files with permisions for everyone?
[04:07] <BBking> rofl
[04:07] <archangelpetro> cafuego, was it you that had the repos containing second life? I cant remember i lost my bookmarks and logs i'm afraid :D

[04:07] <eyalw> how to download Sunbird?
[04:08] <storeyzy_bio> freewarez
[04:08] <bowens_> the best warez!
[04:08] <hbaigu> covOPprometheus, umask
[04:08] <devilsadvocate> lukus001,  lukus001 , changing the boot device in bios is not how dual bootin is supposed to work. windows can boot off of grub
[04:08] <covOPprometheus> hbaigu, and what does umask do?
[04:09] <exspecto> sets default permissins
[04:09] <exspecto> permissions*
[04:09] <cinnix> how do i view my nicklist in xchat?
[04:09] <exspecto> should be on the right hand side already cinnix
[04:09] <variant> does the default ubuntu pdf viewer support embedded notes? (notes that popup on mouseover)
[04:09] <jrib> yossir: do you have the proper repositories enabled?
[04:09] <lukus001> Devilsadvocate, oh it does boot from grub, i was trying to illustrate that grub was still installed on hd2 which should have been unaffected
[04:10] <devilsadvocate> lukus001,  lukus001 , changing the boot device in bios is not how dual bootin is supposed to work. windows can boot off of grub
[04:10] <IdleOne> cinnix: you probably just need to drag it open . it's on the right side
[04:10] <hbaigu> covOPprometheus, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask
[04:10] <covOPprometheus> exspecto, hbaigu, thanks
[04:10] <cinnix> exspecto, i got a dotted line there as if the nicklist shall expand, but when i try to click it the resize cursor comes up
[04:10] <exspecto> yeah, so resize it
[04:10] <fredl> are there any Ajax API's packaged for Ubuntu?
[04:10] <cinnix> oh ok, I had to pull it in
[04:10] <cinnix> thanks
[04:11] <devilsadvocate> lukus001, hmm.. try it . i have a feeling it wont be able to work off of grub right noow
[04:11] <SecrethX> someone know a good NTFS backup util? Copy Paste just copys about half the partition :S
[04:11] <yossir> jrib: the file is on packages.ubuntu.com/dapper, shouldn't it be there by default?
[04:11] <exspecto> ntfs backup?
[04:11] <SecrethX> yes
[04:11] <exspecto> you're trying to back it up with a graphical file manager?
[04:11] <SecrethX> tried with nautilus..
[04:11] <jrib> yossir: yes it should.  Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[04:11] <exspecto> ick
[04:11] <SecrethX> lol :P
[04:12] <yossir> jrib: sure, sec
[04:12] <exspecto> open a console
[04:12] <SecrethX> didnt work quite well.. and I dont know any tools, you do?
[04:12] <variant> SecrethX: cp
[04:12] <eyalw> how to download Sunbird?
[04:12] <exspecto> much easier to do a "cp -a /path/to/ntfs/*  /path/to/backup"
[04:12] <SecrethX> variant, exspecto okay will try
[04:12] <bulmer> dd does copy bit for bit
[04:12] <lukus001> devilsadvocate, im sure it still works :)  at any rate ive gtg now so ill have to leave it till later.  I really appreciate the help you gave, many thanks :)
[04:12] <exspecto> yeah, but it sounds like he's wanting a file backup
[04:13] <exspecto> as opposed to an image
[04:13] <bulmer> whats wrong with an image?
[04:13] <bulmer> as backup
[04:13] <exspecto> nothing at all
[04:13] <yossir> jrib: http://pastebin.ca/330148
[04:13] <fredl> are there any Ajax API's packaged for Ubuntu?
[04:13] <adaptr> fredl: yes
[04:13] <exspecto> just doesn't sound like that's what he was wanting
[04:14] <bulmer> oh okay
[04:14] <jrib> yossir: what does 'apt-cache policy ruby1.8' return?
[04:14] <fredl> adaptr, which one?
[04:14] <Tatster> Hi all.  can someone help me with a problem I've got with the LiveCD.   Basically I get a kernel panic before I loads up
[04:14] <SecrethX> exspecto, true, I just want every file without an image of all..

[04:14] <adaptr> fredl: I'd start with apt-cache search ajax
[04:14] <exspecto> why would we want to help a spammer?
[04:14] <Dreamglider> CAN ANYONE HEL
[04:14] <BBking> im gone
[04:14] <crimsun> Dreamglider: your capslock seems to be broken.
[04:14] <fredl> adaptr, I did that.
[04:14] <exspecto> i can HEL (if HEL means have eight lagers)
[04:15] <ExxKA> Dreamglider, with your spelling?
[04:15] <adaptr> fredl: but since ajax is a combination of technologies and not any specific library or application, I'm not sure what you mean by "ajax API"
[04:15] <exspecto> there's the google api
[04:15] <SecrethX> exspecto,
[04:15] <SecrethX> cp: cannot access `/media/MHS-Muziek/Music': Input/output error
[04:15] <Dreamglider> sorry for tha caps, can anyone help me with jerky video playback ?
[04:15] <Tatster> Last line I get is Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init!

[04:15] <adaptr> Tatster: and before that ?
[04:16] <SecrethX> exspecto, it copied only 1gig of 5gigs to copy..
[04:16] <yossir> jrib: but it doesn't appear on Synaptic for some reason (only 1.8.2 is there)
[04:16] <exspecto> yeah, it's running into bad part of the disk or something
[04:16] <Tatster> EIP: [<c0209fb1>]  acpi_hw_low_level_read........................
[04:16] <Dreamglider> ExxKA, i have only tried playing avi, mpg mpeg and wmv and all are jerky
[04:16] <fredl> adaptr, well I don't specifically need 'Ajax' per say. Some XhtmlObject stuff packaged would be nice but what I'm really looking to do right now is some dynamic HTML to do nice little things on pictures like wipes and fades for example.
[04:16] <gop> !dock
[04:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:16] <SecrethX> exspecto, can I fix that? :p
[04:16] <exspecto> are you running it as root? (sudo before the command)
[04:16] <SecrethX> yes
[04:16] <storeyzy_bio> !pastebin > storeyzy_bio
[04:17] <exspecto> if it's a disk problem, i don't know what to tell you
[04:17] <adaptr> fredl: you mean M$ proprietary extensions to HTML ?
[04:17] <fredl> adaptr, huh, no.
[04:17] <ExxKA> Dreamglider, but played from you harddrive?
[04:17] <bartbes2> I'm trying to get lm-sensors to work with my fan, to control fan speed
[04:17] <Dreamglider> ExxKA, yes
[04:17] <SecrethX> exspecto, propertys in nautilus says "some contents unreadable"
[04:17] <adaptr> Tatster: try booting the liveCD with acpi=off at the end of the kernel load line
[04:17] <jrib> yossir: what is the package name you are looking at?
[04:17] <fredl> adaptr, something like dynduo, but something that's actually supported.
[04:17] <exspecto> might be bad sectors or corrupt filesystem...dunno
[04:17] <dromer> this is strange, when I connect usb-devices, they apear in lsusb, but they are not mounted, this should be done automatically right? even after reboot this still happens
[04:17] <adaptr> fredl: I have no clue, sorry
[04:18] <SecrethX> exspecto, so you know nothing to fix? :(
[04:18] <exspecto> do you still have windows on it?  i'd boot into it and run a scandisk
[04:18] <gop> I got a problem
[04:18] <gop> it seems
[04:18] <gop> none of my ntfs drives have mounted
[04:18] <SecrethX> exspecto, no I havent
[04:18] <jrib> yossir: because tehre is both a "ruby" package and a "ruby1.8" package
[04:18] <gop> in edggy
[04:18] <gop> in daper it did

[04:18] <Tatster> adaptr: Just tried that - still the same
[04:19] <covOPprometheus> exspecto, hbaigu, hmm, it doesn't seem to work; just to be sure it would be umask 666 and then restart the lampp on the same console, right?
[04:19] <gop> jrib,  oh k but I didn't need to do nothing in dapper and it was mounted
[04:19] <gop> after fresh in stall
[04:19] <ExxKA> Dreamglider, okay, it seems to me, that you need to fix your drivers for your videocard

[04:21] <cinnix> gamer question: is there a way to install unreal tournament without the cd2 textures, loki installer keeps asking for them
[04:21] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: chmod a+ does not grant access to "all of its content", it grants access to *everybody*
[04:21] <SecrethX> exspecto, so, if I do chkdsk on another PC with windows installed, it should be fixed?
[04:21] <jrib> gop: is this a fresh edgy install?
[04:21] <exspecto> secret: i dunno, but it's worth a shot
[04:21] <gop> jrib,  yes
[04:21] <covOPprometheus> exspecto, I want it to be forever ;)
[04:21] <wolfwalker> Wow, did it work?
[04:21] <ExxKA> Dreamglider, you still need to set your drivers right for it, no matter how powerful it is.
[04:21] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, yep, I use -R for all hehehe
[04:21] <SecrethX> exspecto, okay, I just gotta kick my sis of the other computer then ;P
[04:21] <Tatster> adaptr:   so I added     acpi=off noapic nolapic    - that still errors

[04:22] <adaptr> Tatster: did you check the md5sum after downloading the image ?
[04:22] <Tatster> no.   I'll do that now
[04:22] <ugarit> anyone here using xdosemu?
[04:22] <shasan> hello everyone i'm installing edgy and i'm getting an error during installation that ubuntu is unable to format the unallocated space on my drive, can anyone help me out with this?
[04:22] <SecrethX> exspecto, do you know a solution to get your sis of a computer? :x
[04:23] <ExxKA> Dreamglider, naa, sorry, you need to do the actuall install yourself. But I bet ya, there's probably a guide on google ;)
[04:23] <covOPprometheus> exspecto, would it be +174 ?  resulting in 0874 =
[04:23] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: no
[04:23] <Dreamglider> ExxKA, i found one on ATI drivers on ubuntu forums but it did not solve the problem
[04:23] <cmweb> How do i limit the processor usage of updatedb to 10% or lower
[04:24] <exspecto> secret: pull her hair
[04:24] <shasan> can anyone help me out with an installation issue?
[04:24] <cmweb> !ask
[04:24] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:24] <exspecto> i don't think you really want to do the umask thing though
[04:24] <LjL> cmweb: no need to do that. updatedb is already run with a high "nice" value, which means any other normal program will take precedence on the CPU over it
[04:24] <variant> cmweb: one way is to set it to run under a useraccount toher than root and set ulimit on it
[04:24] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, you know how to use the umask function?
[04:24] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: what for ?
[04:24] <covOPprometheus> exspecto, well, what could I do then?
[04:24] <cinnix> shasan, are ou running windows on the same drive?
[04:25] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, can anyone tell me how I can make that files of a folder are chmoded automtically upon creation, or how I can control that a program run by su writes files with permisions for everyone?
[04:25] <exspecto> listen to variant
[04:25] <cmweb> ljl, that "mice High value" is killing my pc
[04:25] <JJ_> afternoon all
[04:25] <moodog> Afternoon all.
[04:25] <mick666> hello everybodies
[04:25] <LjL> cmweb: i'm afraid that's more an I/O issue than a CPU issue
[04:25] <cmweb> variant, now how in the world do i do that
[04:25] <SecrethX> exspecto, worked, lol
[04:25] <exspecto> haha
[04:25] <SecrethX> shes gone
[04:25] <SecrethX> :p
[04:25] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: those are two very different questions
[04:25] <JJ_> now can vnc vrom windows to ubunto and can rdp from ubunto to windows :-)
[04:25] <LjL> !loadwatch | cmweb, you could try with this
[04:25] <ubotu> loadwatch: Run a program using only idle cycles. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0+1.1alpha1-5 (edgy), package size 11 kB, installed size 80 kB
[04:25] <shasan> cinnix, it's an external drive with a windows partition on it; however i used the partition editor to resize it and create unformatted space
[04:26] <mick666> does somebodies tell the link of the supported hardware by ubuntu?
[04:26] <LjL> cmweb: this will actually only run the program when it thinks you're not doing anything else
[04:26] <cmweb> ljl, ok il see what i can do
[04:26] <JJ_> any ideas how to go about opening a port on the router to access the ubunto pc via vnc over the web  please?
[04:26] <gop> jrib,  what is fuse
[04:26] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: the permisisons of new files in a folder are determined by the current user's umask *and* the permissions on the folder
[04:26] <variant> cmweb: if nothing else is running at the same time then it will use 100% of the cpu which is generaly a desired result. if you then start doing something else then all your tasks will be delt with before the cpu continues with the updatedb process
[04:26] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, the thiing is I have a xampp webserver with a file-pastebin. the files are put in a folder but not with the proper file permissions. so I have to do a chmod before being able to access them
[04:26] <jrib> !fuse | gop
[04:26] <ubotu> gop: Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[04:26] <variant> BBking: unrar
[04:26] <LjL> variant: yes, i think the problem here is that updatedb still takes up a lot of I/O though, not really CPU
[04:26] <shasan> cinnix, the problem now is that during installation, when ubuntu tries to format the drive, it says formatting failed and stops installation
[04:26] <mick666> yes download unrar
[04:26] <moodog> BBking: apt-get install unrar
[04:26] <LjL> Ubotu, tell BBking about rar | BBking, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:26] <cinnix> shasan, is it a usb drive?
[04:26] <mick666> and extrac it with ark
[04:27] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, yep, these are the 2 aproeaches to the problems that occured to me
[04:27] <shasan> cinnix, yes
[04:27] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: read the instructions that came with the pastebin code, they should tell you how to set it up
[04:27] <variant> LjL: OK.. in that case my idea is appropriate
[04:27] <cinnix> shasan, two seconds
[04:27] <SecrethX> wooooooot exspecto chkdsk gives a load of errors, ill run it in /F (fix it)
[04:27] <mewt> Hi, is there a way to increase the transfer speed of files through samba in my internal network
[04:27] <mewt> ?
[04:27] <exspecto> cool
[04:27] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, no, I made it haha, you see I work as a webdesigne
[04:27] <moodog> BBking: then unrar <file.rar>
[04:27] <adaptr> mewt: migrate to GigE
[04:27] <ExxKA> Dreamglider, you need to try other guides then..
[04:27] <LjL> variant: hm, ulimit? and limit what?
[04:27] <BBking> ty vm
[04:28] <mewt> adaptr, I would if i needed it but im barely reaching 2MB per second
[04:28] <mewt> ;)
[04:28] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: then it's up to you, of course - BTW, when you say "file pastebin", do you actually mean "file upload mechanism" ? "pastebin is nonsense in this context
[04:28] <adaptr> mewt: hub or switch ?
[04:28] <mewt> router
[04:28] <adaptr> noo.. hub or switch ?
[04:28] <variant> LjL: set the resource useage for the updatedb users process
[04:28] <mewt> router with integrated swotch
[04:28] <mewt> switch
[04:29] <exspecto> it would say switch on it
[04:29] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, yep, uploader
[04:29] <adaptr> and you have run network tests ? netperf/netio ?
[04:29] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, I'll add a list function when I get this strait
[04:29] <covOPprometheus> adaptr,  nope
[04:29] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: to be able to write to it, the apache user has to have write access to the upload root directory
[04:30] <gop> !samba
[04:30] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[04:30] <cinnix> shasan, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=71567&highlight=install+usb+drive
[04:30] <mewt> adaptr, no
[04:30] <variant> cmweb: what do you mean?
[04:30] <CyberCod> have any of you heard about the CNR thing coming from linspire?
[04:30] <LjL> variant: yes but "resource" like in what? RAM? CPU time?
[04:30] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, as I said the thing works, it puts the files in the folder as it should
[04:30] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: but for you to be able to then read files out of it it has to assign permissions that allow you access as well
[04:30] <exspecto> cnr is nothing new
[04:30] <cmweb> just to use a regular text file. That way it is faster and only has to add programs that are installed once
[04:30] <LjL> cmweb, a file list? that's what the updatedb process creates...
[04:31] <exspecto> they've had cnr for a while now
[04:31] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, and how do I asign them?
[04:31] <SecrethX> okay exspecto I think it doesnt return any errors anymore, plug it back in?
[04:31] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: the usual way to do this would be to use the apache *user* to write the files, and to use the *group* of the directory to grant read access
[04:31] <Desmaano> hello all
[04:31] <exspecto> secret: i'd shut it down before plugging it back in
[04:31] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: chown www-data:users /upload/dir
[04:31] <variant> LjL: all of the above.. that way it cant "kill" his computer although it will take longer to run
[04:31] <LjL> cmweb, what updatedb makes *is* a text file. well, a smart one that's kind of compressed
[04:31] <SecrethX> exspecto, okay
[04:31] <CyberCod> exspecto ... i only heard about it a couple days ago... and it sounds pretty cool
[04:31] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: and add www-data to the users group if necessary
[04:31] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, done that already, no use
[04:31] <exspecto> cyber: i believe CNR is that pay-for system
[04:31] <cmweb> ljl, probrubly the compresion part that get me
[04:31] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: then chmod the upload dir to 0775
[04:31] <exspecto> i.e. a rip off since it's just open software
[04:31] <CyberCod> exspecto... but did you hear it was coming to ubuntu?
[04:32] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: nonsense
[04:32] <LjL> cmweb, i doubt that. but please explain - how do you think updatedb operates, and how do you think it should operate?
[04:32] <Desmaano> question: is there Raid-1 Software for Ubuntu?
[04:32] <SecrethX> exspecto, whats cnr btw?
[04:32] <exspecto> click n' run
[04:32] <moodog> BBking: There may be a GUI way of doing it, but that works :D
[04:32] <covOPprometheus> adaptr, hehe can I PM you my steps?
[04:32] <adaptr> Desmaano: yes, it's built in
[04:32] <LjL> variant, if what "kills" it is I/O on the drive (and i believe it is, though i'm sure "killing" is rather exaggerated), that won't do much. if i'm mistaken and he simply has, say, very little RAM, then yes
[04:32] <adaptr> covOPprometheus: if you like :)
[04:32] <SecrethX> exspecto, oh
[04:32] <exspecto> started on linspire (aka lindows)
[04:32] <shasan> cinnix, thanks i will look through that. i've gotten it to install on the usb hard drive once before, but i had to reformat the ubuntu partition and now when i'm trying to reinstall ubuntu will not format the partition
[04:32] <CyberCod> it lets you use packages from other distributions... aka .rpm
[04:32] <BBking> moodog: thanks
[04:32] <exspecto> about ubuntu+cnr: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7474779842.html
[04:33] <Desmaano> adaptr: thanks, and i just need 2 IDE disks and some time to install?
[04:33] <CyberCod> a little more reliable supposedly than   alien
[04:33] <exspecto> CNR is a way to make money off people who don't know how to use Synaptic (for a gui) or apt
[04:33] <cmweb> ljl, ive no clue but i think it operates by scaning the entire harddrive at certain times then makes and updates a list. You may could eliminate that by making it add programs once that are created or installed
[04:33] <variant> cmweb: Actualy i found anice program you can apt-get install cpulimit
[04:33] <LjL> variant and cmweb: the "ionice" command would also theoretically help, except it has no effects on writes, but only on reads - so it really depends what's burdening updatedb the most
[04:33] <variant> LjL: see cpulimit http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/cpulimit
[04:34] <exspecto> LjL, updatedb is usually ran by cron during the night
[04:34] <LjL> variant: i still think loadwatch sounds more like it
[04:34] <LjL> exspecto: i know that well enough
[04:34] <CyberCod> exspecto   money?  i heard no mention of costs... and synaptic doesn't handle rpms
[04:34] <exspecto> cyber: yeah, $20 annual fee
[04:34] <Chest> guys, can you upgrade via apt-get/synaptic to edgy from dapper?
[04:34] <moodog> cmweb: how would you remove items from a plain text files reliabily?
[04:34] <adaptr> Desmaano: you can install Ubuntu on a Raid-1 from the Ubuntu installer :)
[04:34] <cmweb> ljl, one minutes im trying loadwatch
[04:34] <variant> LjL: nice, I didn't know of htat program
[04:34] <exspecto> and as to not handling rpms - GOOD!
[04:34] <gezzabob> hi all
[04:34] <exspecto> i hate rpms
[04:35] <adaptr> Desmaano: just be sure to use the manula partition option, and create 2 equal Linux LVM partitions, then join them into raid-1
[04:35] <Spee_Der> hello gezzabob
[04:35] <cmweb> moodog, when they are deleted or removed it will send some sort of command to updatedb and remove it from registery
[04:35] <Spee_Der> i had to reboot
[04:35] <Spee_Der> lol
[04:35] <SecrethX> exspecto, okay, retrying to copy it
[04:35] <LjL> variant: well that was my entire point ;P it's more "screensaver-like", in that it just doesn't run the program if it detects activity
[04:35] <gezzabob> hews it going Spee_Der
[04:35] <LjL> cmweb: updatedb is not something that is running continuously
[04:35] <LjL> cmweb: you can't just "send" stuff to updatedb in real time
[04:35] <Spee_Der> gezzabob, quite well. I am waiting for my son and grand-daughter to arrive for breaky and visit.
[04:35] <exspecto> yeah, it's just a one-time thing
[04:36] <cmweb> ljl, it is on my workstation :p
[04:36] <ryanakca> how do I allow samba to work with iptables? my iptables settings: http://rkavanagh.homelinux.org/~ryan/rc.firewall
[04:36] <gezzabob> anybody have much experience with ununtu on an amd64...
[04:36] <Spee_Der> gezzabob, how you are doing today ?
[04:36] <exspecto> gezzabob: yes, but i had a bad one
[04:36] <LjL> cmweb: then your workstation has something seriously wrong. updatedb is normally just run *once a day*, during the night be default
[04:36] <storeyzy_bio> amd64 can't shutdown/reboot, amd i386 no problem shutdown/reboot
[04:36] <exspecto> it was due to my hardware though.  i would get random lockups due to "cool n' quiet" being enabled in the bios
[04:36] <ro> where do i need to put something.sh to run it like script ?
[04:36] <exspecto> and it had a problem with powernowd
[04:36] <exspecto> ro: anywhere in your path
[04:37] <Mightily-Oats> hi all
[04:37] <ro> and then ?
[04:37] <CyberCod> I've not had any experience with other linux distros only ubuntu and derivatives.  I take it rpms are junk?
[04:37] <cmweb> ljl, it continues what it started when i reboot. i have to send the kill command to it to stop it my database it 8 days old due to it
[04:37] <variant> cmweb: there is a program that is used to notify programs of file changes (can't remember the name rightnow though) probably it could be set to update the slocate db too
[04:37] <gezzabob> yes I am ok I work nights,  came home went out to a local market with folks came back now have a quick few mins on here then off to be
[04:37] <LjL> CyberCod: they're not junk. we do probably tend to prefer .deb here
[04:37] <frogzoo> CyberCod: rpms are fine, if you run redhat
[04:37] <variant> LjL: can you remember hte name of that prog that notifies of file changes (nautilus uses it to update the gui)
[04:37] <exspecto> i think rpms are junk
[04:37] <mindstate> hi everyone, was hoping i could get some help with an issue im having
[04:37] <gezzabob> you had a bad what ?
[04:38] <LjL> variant: i use KDE, i'm not sure i have that
[04:38] <ryanakca> CyberCod: not necessarily... rpms are good if you like to have a system like windows, where you download the rpm and install it... instead of having a package manager like apt... mind you, you can use apt with rpms...
[04:38] <exspecto> they remind me of windows.  they have super specific dependencies
[04:38] <Mightily-Oats> im wondering if anyone can help me again.. a while ago (a few weeks) i was in here talking about my hdd, and how it kept ticking.. as though it was being put to sleep.. and then powering back up every 10 to 20 seconds.. it was a fujitsu laptop hdd (5400 8mb cache).. i recently upgraded to a seagate (7200 8mb cache)... and there is still the ticking sound... any ideas?
[04:38] <ro> how to i run the .sh file? if i double click it opens a notepad
[04:38] <variant> LjL: yeah, i thikn kde uses it.. it';s on the tip of my toung
[04:38] <mindstate> i'll be back
[04:38] <ryanakca> CyberCod: rpm and deb are pretty simmilar... (from what I can see...)
[04:38] <variant> LjL: inotify i think!
[04:38] <LjL> variant: i can see dnotify, but i don't think it's the one used by default
[04:38] <exspecto> ro: make it executable
[04:38] <variant> yeah!
[04:38] <Desmaano> so i can use raid-1 on one Harddisk with 2 partitions? And the advantage of raid-1 will be lost then ?
[04:38] <cmweb> What is the pid of updatedb if any one knows (unless of course it varies by install)
[04:38] <ro> but how?
[04:38] <exspecto> chmod u+x
[04:38] <variant> cmweb: it varies
[04:38] <LjL> cmweb: it varies by *run*
[04:38] <variant> cmweb: varies every time you run it
[04:38] <CyberCod> LjL... I am asking about it in here because if it is about to become official, i figured you guys would know somethin about it.  I realize what system I am on.  I'm not trying to start a distro fight... I'm ubuntu to stay.  I only asked because all that added software sounds like a dream come true
[04:38] <LjL> cmweb: PIDs are never fixed
[04:38] <exspecto> and run it from a command line
[04:39] <SecrethX> exspecto, once again, it stops at 1.1G but CP doesnt return any errors, and isnt stopped yet, I think, and dmesg hasnt any errors too
[04:39] <exspecto> it's not added software though
[04:39] <LjL> CyberCod: official?
[04:39] <Ash-Fox> Anybody came across this issue before with edgy. Hardware I've never used Linux on before, I run 'lspci', nothing is outputted, but when I run 'lspci -H1', all the hardware is seen. It looks like the kernel doesn't support the hardware, but the hardware listed doesn't seem to be that special or unique. Any ideas on what todo?
[04:39] <cmweb> So how do i find this pid
[04:39] <exspecto> it's just freely available software, repackaged, and sold back to you
[04:39] <LjL> cmweb: ps aux
[04:39] <us> Ive just upgraded to edgy, it installs every package except for xfonts-intl-european which it can not remove the old version to upgrade...
[04:39] <BBking> is there an america's army for linux?
[04:39] <exspecto> secret: let it keep cranking
[04:39] <SecrethX> exspecto, k
[04:39] <CyberCod> LjL... semi-official... they were talking about having CNR available in synaptic...
[04:39] <gezzabob> been wanting to get a amd64 system for sometime was wondering if ubuntu runs ok now on amd64 any people got any views on it
[04:40] <ro> i have 5.04 ;) and i want to mount 6.10 image to upgrade my ubuntu can some body help me?
[04:40] <Ash-Fox> BBking, I don't know. Might want to ask google or winehq's application database.
[04:40] <exspecto> ubuntu 32-bit runs great on amd64
[04:40] <bXi> gezzabob: i'd not install ubuntu 64 bit on it
[04:40] <SecrethX> exspecto, cp has stopped, propertys return 8.4G LOL!
[04:40] <storeyzy_bio> gezzabob: i run the 64 bit version ubuntu livecd and it can't shut down/reboot
[04:40] <BBking> Ash-Fox: Google doesn help me:(
[04:40] <bXi> too much missing/outdated software imo
[04:40] <exspecto> so it worked?
[04:40] <variant> cmweb: ps aux | grep updatedb
[04:40] <SecrethX> it did
[04:40] <SecrethX> exspecto, I love you.
[04:40] <LjL> CyberCod: hm, didn't know anything at all about that. i'm not contrary in principle to having any free software in the repos, even if it's "non-ubuntu" packaging software. i'm not sure it should be installed by default or anywhere outside of universe though
[04:40] <exspecto> cool
[04:41] <GNeRaL> i need bluetooth software for xfce
[04:41] <Ash-Fox> BBking, http://www.google.com/search?q=america%27s+army+linux
[04:41] <gezzabob> so the general is not just yet for 64 then huh ?
[04:41] <SecrethX> exspecto, is there something like mass chmod? ;P
[04:41] <exspecto> i'd reformat that ntfs drive (in Windows) if you're SURE that it's backed up
[04:41] <exspecto> verify the backup (look around)
[04:41] <SecrethX> I did
[04:41] <exspecto> yeah, there's a mass chmod
[04:41] <LjL> CyberCod: pay for the service, dang. multiverse then
[04:41] <exspecto> chmod -R
[04:41] <SecrethX> everything is chmodded so I cant open it :S
[04:41] <SecrethX> ok
[04:41] <exspecto> hehe
[04:41] <BBking> Ash-Fox: the problem is can i open an exe
[04:41] <exspecto> but that will get directories and files
[04:42] <Tim> I'm having a problem installing wine on 6.10
[04:42] <BBking> Ash-FOx: its an exe file
[04:42] <LjL> Tim: like?
[04:42] <cinnix> Im currently using an ATI Radeon 9800, I have recently become a complete Linux convert now, so I want to know this... ATI don't support their cards well on Linux, If I got the absolute tip-top Nvidia, will I get my moneys worth? Or better still is there any linkage you can point me to so I can learn myself
[04:42] <Ash-Fox> BBking, that's a windows binary. Try getting a linux binary. No I don't know where to get it, I don't even know the game.
[04:42] <cmweb> for some reason loadwatch -p 27949 only repeats the help screen. WHats the error in the code
[04:42] <exspecto> ati works in linux
[04:42] <SecrethX> exspecto, 755 as value is good?

[04:44] <cinnix> for gaming its pretty bad compared to windows drivers
[04:44] <LjL> cmweb: that's the PID of grep
[04:44] <LjL> cmweb: you want the PID of updatedb. grep will quit as soon as you've finished typing that command
[04:44] <LjL> cmweb: and, if that's the only entry you get, then updatedb *is not running*
[04:44] <nikitis> I'm having a problem with Beryl/aiglx  When I follow the instructions in the ubuntuguide.com guide, When I go to enable Beryl-manager the screen turns all green and warped.  Anyone know why?
ok.. i havent really had a problem with them.. u using edgy?
[04:44] <cmweb> ljl, it not i killed it
[04:45] <LjL> cmweb: then it's surely not running
[04:45] <LjL> cmweb: you surely can't use loadwatch on a non running process
[04:45] <Tim> need help with package manager
[04:45] <LjL> !elaborate | Tim
[04:45] <ubotu> Tim: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[04:45] <gezzabob> I was thinking the other da7y well day dreaming really about setting a 64 system up in well something like a ultra secure system in the fact that install 32 bit ubuntu as normal locked down tight and them vm another working ubuntu system inside that that should prove very secure.  No I am not paranoid or nothing but some how use the host system as a sort of supervisory system.  I had a lot more to the idea that what i had just said bu
[04:45] <gezzabob> t I hope the iead is there
[04:45] <LjL> Tim: you've asked a question. however, we can't read your mind. please explain what the WINE problem is
[04:45] <cinnix> Mightily-Oats, yeah I am. Im usually experiencing severe lagspikes here and there, I can never get a stable framerate
[04:45] <cmweb> lljl, do i need to reboot?
[04:46] <LjL> cmweb: no, you just need to wait until updatedb runs again
[04:46] <LjL> cmweb: rebooting won't make it run i'm afraid
[04:46] <nikitis> Can anyone help me with Beryl issue
[04:46] <LjL> cmweb: try running it manually, if you just want to test loadwatch out
[04:46] <Tim> LjL: Well i'm new to linux and I just installed WINE, I tried executing it and nothing happens
[04:46] <LjL> !nothing | Tim
[04:46] <ubotu> Tim: Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so. - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail.
[04:46] <LjL> Tim: what did you do and what is the output if any
[04:46] <LjL> Ubotu, tell tim about paste | tim, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:46] <Mightily-Oats> ok.... try this... i have only ever tried the repo drivers.. so im not sure how the other ones will go... http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide
[04:46] <CyberCod> I found this on the CNR site FAQ:   "Is the CNR.com service free?           Yes. There is no charge to use the basic CNR.com service to find and install free open source software"    they will sell commercial software through it as well
[04:47] <devilsadvocate> Tim, did you run winecfg ?
[04:47] <pbureau> general question I have a nas drive right now that is using ntfs, if I reformat it to be fat32 will I be able to RW on it without issues (unliqe the ntfs issues requiring the ntfs-3g beta thing) ?
[04:47] <cinnix> nikitis, shoot....
[04:47] <LjL> CyberCod: but from the article that was given, " for those who want the one-click convenience of CNR, they could try CNR for free for 15 days, and if they like it, pay for the service [$20 per year] ."
[04:47] <isec> hi all
[04:47] <GNeRaL> !xfce
[04:47] <ubotu> 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
[04:47] <nikitis> I'm having a problem with Beryl/aiglx  When I follow the instructions in the ubuntuguide.com guide, When I go to enable Beryl-manager the screen turns all green and warped.  Anyone know why?
[04:47] <LjL> CyberCod: anyway as much as i'd like to discuss this, we're offtopic. we should move to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:47] <GNeRaL> !xfce bluetooth
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xfce bluetooth - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <lelek> #
[04:47] <isec> anyone put an ubunto on a macmini with only Bluetooth keyboard?

[04:47] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
 so does that look like any help?
[04:48] <gezzabob> I know linux is secure and all that anyway but it was just an idea i was playing with.  Or something along the line of having 2xkernels running looking out for each other the benifits can also be when one kernel had been updated that can be rebooted and the other carry on keeping the system up etc anybody had any thoughts alone these lines
[04:48] <Tim> See I don't even know.. I downloaded the package and installed it using add/remove and now I don't even know where its located, so I used the search thing and said to execute wine, then it seems like it does not do anything
[04:48] <cinnix> nikitis, what graphics card have you got?
[04:48] <nikitis> Geforce Go 6800 (Laptop)
[04:48] <CyberCod> LjL.. i saw that too, thats why I went to the horses mouth.  Ok.. offtopic it is.  sorry... I've been up for 29 hours now... i'm not normally so retarded
[04:48] <nikitis> Resolution 1920x1200
[04:48] <cinnix> Mightily-Oats, sorry, i missed that... two secs :)
[04:48] <LjL> Tim: the command "wine" alone doesn't do anything, obviously. you need a Windows program to run. try "wine SomeWindowsProgram.exe" - for instance, a copy of Notepad should be installed, so try "wine notepad"
[04:48] <chaddy> Tim: wine is run from the command line "wine <some windows program>.exe"
[04:49] <silv> hi
[04:49] <chaddy> lo silv
[04:49] <Tim> oh ok thanks
[04:49] <silv> i cant find gnomebaker
[04:49] <isec> I saw a tutorial but to activate BT you have to type on the terminal... so you have to have a keyboard.... but I've only a BT keyboard
[04:50] <silv> which is default burn aplication for ubuntu
[04:50] <Tim> I am really bad at using terminal now, but trying to learn! I'll come back if I can't further succeed
[04:50] <pbureau> silvr  click on application - add/remove you should find it there
[04:50] <chaddy> isec: got another computer?
[04:50] <johfel> where can i get the default kernel config, i have not installed ubuntu
[04:50] <isec> chaddy, I'd like to put on my macmini to speed it up
[04:50] <Sven_vB> hi :)
[04:50] <silv> pbureau: but im not sure im spelling the name correct
[04:50] <cinnix> Mightily-Oats, yea i followed that guide and all.... i might just buy some upgrades soon... :)
[04:51] <devilsadvocate> johfel, why the kernel config?
[04:51] <gezzabob> with multi 64 cores something like this could be possible I know its not advancing the raw speed running 2xkernels etc but mind you it would probably mount up over time cus the system would stay up longer ect the workings of it is still pie in the sky and well would prove very difficult. but still like i said just an idea
[04:51] <chaddy> nm, isec I was thinking to ssh in, but you'd still need a keyboard to aptitude install openssh-server
[04:51] <johfel> because i want to know if there is SATA_SIL24=y or SATA_SIL24=m
[04:51] <cme_> hi
[04:51] <isec> chaddy, no... ssh installed by default? since I've another notebook in the intranet
 ok.. i followed the first method.. worked good.. so i figured the second method might aswell.. oh well
[04:52] <silv> pbureau:
[04:52] <Sven_vB> how do I install X11 or Xorg? I would install "ubuntu-desktop", but I do not have enough disk space for the games and OpenOffice
[04:52] <Zaggynl> Is there a way to enlarge the Gnome toolbar?
[04:52] <silv> pbureau: thank you
[04:52] <Zaggynl> Like winxp taskbar?
[04:52] <Sven_vB> apt cannot find "X11"
[04:52] <isec> having a look
[04:52] <gezzabob> what channels on here would be best for this type of discussion ref multi kernels running on a multi core 64 bit system ??
[04:52] <chaddy> isec: just the client by default, unfortunately
[04:52] <pbureau> silv found it ?
[04:53] <cme_> i have a problem with NFS and NTFS-3g, when i want to mount (for me) /media/sda5 via NFS on my old PC, it says: permission denied (all is configured right), so i figured out, that this folder own root, but not me, when i change it with midnight commander, ubuntu set it back to root.... what can i do?
[04:53] <cinnix> Mightily-Oats, on the bright side i might just be installing my favourite game, unreal tournament correctly, and that shouldnt need to much firepower :)
[04:54] <Bakefy> does anyone know how to connect to an xp machine using RDP?

[04:54] <nikitis> yes to the T
[04:54] <chaddy> Bakefy: on the LAN or over the intartubes?
[04:54] <frogzoo> Bakefy: install terminal server client

[04:54] <Bakefy> on LAN.  i have terminal server client
[04:54] <Bakefy> I am using it.

[04:58] <xardas> my 7.04 herd2 installer crashes after choosing keyboard layout. _literally_ crashes. screen turns pink and only ctrl+backspace works
[04:58] <pbureau> mindstate- is your nick registered we could take this in private
[04:58] <xardas> any ideas?
[04:58] <LjL> Ubotu, tell xardas about feisty | xardas, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:59] <xardas> it's step 5.
[04:59] <mindstate> pbureau: no let me register it
[04:59] <Bnirkow> how to remove all components of breyl and compiz??
[04:59] <Bnirkow> beryl*
[04:59] <bXi> ubotu: tell me about feisty
[04:59] <apokryphos> Bnirkow: open synaptic and remove anything with beryl in the name.
[04:59] <LjL> Bnirkow: depends how you installed them. you should ask in #ubuntu-xgl though. "sudo apt-get autoremove beryl compiz" might work
[04:59] <Bnirkow> apokryphos: i will try
[04:59] <apokryphos> bXi: you can /msg the bot as well
[05:00] <Arcad3> http://addict.66ghz.com/ Cedega Cracked
[05:00] <Bnirkow> LjL: invalid operation "autoremove"
[05:00] <LjL> Bnirkow: oh, you're on dapper
[05:00] <LjL> Bnirkow: then what apokryphos said, or same on the command line - dpkg --get-selections | grep "beryl\|compiz", and remove
[05:01] <Bnirkow> :) yeah dapper
[05:02] <klausos>  how can i make knetwork auto-connects to my home wpa wireless network without asking me all the times for the wlan's password????
[05:02] <Bnirkow> LjL: in progress :)
[05:02] <SecrethX> how is FAT32 supported under ubuntu?
[05:02] <SecrethX> good/bad?
[05:02] <LjL> SecrethX: well

[05:03] <Bnirkow> Tatster: burn witj other program ;)
[05:04] <PriceChild> Is it possible to specify a password on the cli when logging into ssh?
[05:05] <PriceChild> Or do I have to type it in manually?
[05:05] <jrib> PriceChild: type it in
[05:05] <jrib> manually
[05:05] <PriceChild> jrib: meh :P
[05:05] <crazy_penguin> good afternoon to everybody
[05:05] <jrib> PriceChild: if you don't want to enter passwords, use ssh keys
[05:05] <soothsay> PriceChild: Look up ssh-keygen
[05:05] <Bnirkow> PriceChild: you can change it only when logged in
[05:05] <willys_fueguino> hi!! where can I find libc6 2.4 deb??
[05:05] <Tatster> it was burnt using toast titanium on a mac
[05:05] <PriceChild> I'm messing with screen and irssi and basically want a script on startup that sets things up for me (including my ssh tunnel)
[05:06] <soothsay> Can anyone tell me how to fix a package that did not fully install/upgrade?
[05:06] <Tatster> so I don't see how it can be a problem with how it was burnt
[05:06] <jrib> PriceChild: google "passwordless ssh"
[05:06] <PriceChild> jrib: but can I do that without root on the remote machine?
[05:06] <jrib> PriceChild: yep
[05:06] <PriceChild> woo :)
[05:06] <isec> ok I'm back
[05:06] <jrib> PriceChild: I used this recently, was pretty clear: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Passwordless_ssh_logins.html
[05:06] <vanberge> anybody know a good way to create .3gp files??  been looking for awhile now!  thanks in advance
[05:07] <jrib> PriceChild: I decided not to password protect my keys though
[05:07] <isec> the BT keyboard is available at the prompt from an ubunto live CD but then when X starts up it no longer works
[05:07] <silvertip257> Are there any experienced hard drive recovery guys that would help me?
[05:08] <crimsun> PriceChild: in a word, see keychain and ssh passphrases (which that link touches on. I suggest Daniel Robbins's 3-part tutorial on IBM developerworks).
[05:08] <Bnirkow> Ljl; do you know how to run lossless music files?? ==>  APE files
[05:08] <PriceChild> Thanks crimsun, jrib
[05:09] <LjL> Bnirkow, uhm, you know what, i'm not sure we have APE support in the repositories
[05:10] <Bnirkow> LjL: i will see it in synaptic, but i think there aren`t
[05:10] <silvertip257> I have a messed up MBR & partition table ... can anyone help me???
[05:10] <root0405> Can somebody help me: What are the minimum system requirements for the latest release of Ubuntu?
[05:10] <LjL> Bnirkow: i haven't found one indeed
[05:10] <crazy_penguin> had someone problems using easyubuntu lately?
[05:11] <Bnirkow> LjL; i will look
[05:11] <apokryphos> crazy_penguin: try asking in #easyubuntu
[05:11] <crazy_penguin> it can't find some packages that i want to install with it
[05:11] <crazy_penguin> ah
[05:11] <crazy_penguin> sorry
[05:11] <crazy_penguin> thx apokryphos
[05:11] <tom47> root0405 dunno if there is one specifically but i run it on an 866 mhtz PIII with 128meg of ram and its fine
[05:12] <root0405> I have an old PIII 500 MHz
[05:12] <variant> root0405: dunno the minumum but there are distros that are specificaly designed to get the most out of very old computers
[05:12] <variant> root0405: how much ram?
[05:13] <Bnirkow> LjL: what name have this package??
[05:13] <tom47> root0405 yeah will run fine on that if you have at least 128mb of ram ..... nothing less than say 5 gb of hard disk free
[05:13] <variant> root0405: you should avoid gnome or kde desktops in that case.. look at XFCE 4 or maybe something like fvwm
[05:13] <LjL> Bnirkow, i said i *didn't* find it =)
[05:13] <root0405> 384 MB
[05:13] <mindstate> XFCE rules
[05:13] <mindstate> heh
[05:13] <pbureau> root0405- shoudl run fine...
[05:13] <Bnirkow> LjL: ok ok :)
[05:14] <variant> root0405: I wouldn't use gnome or kde on that at all
[05:14] <variant> root0405: xfce is a very very good desktop.. better than gnome in many ways
[05:14] <root0405> OK. For a Windows it's rather slow
[05:14] <variant> root0405: try xubuntu
[05:14] <pbureau> variant-  I have PIII 700MHZ w/256 and I run Gnome just fine
[05:14] <mindstate> root0405: yea im running xubuntu
[05:14] <mindstate> root0405: its great
[05:14] <Mut> kan mes pikmes you gate the witch xwai
[05:14] <root0405> I think it's the best release for me: xubuntu. Thx
[05:15] <tom47> root0405 one of the big differences is that you dont have an overhead penalty with virus checkers / firewalls / and all that nonsense
[05:15] <variant> pbureau: yeah, good for you. he has a slower cpu though and you can get more out of it if you use xfce or some other windowmanager
[05:15] <root0405> Why don't I need a virusscanner and firewall?
[05:15] <riotkittie> and less ram. :P
[05:15] <eelmoo> tell me
[05:15] <pbureau> variant- is gnome that much slower than KDE ? (not arguing just wondering)
[05:15] <mindstate> blackbox?
[05:15] <variant> riotkittie: noone sadi that
[05:16] <Bnirkow> see All later, b4n
[05:16] <variant> pbureau: no idea.. i know that it's simmilar though
[05:16] <adaptr> root0405: you do need a firewall, but it costs no resources in Linux, and a virus scanner... unless you run things as root, there is nothing to infect
[05:16] <variant> pbureau: not used kde for a few years here
[05:16] <variant> pbureau: only started using gnome recently
[05:16] <tom47> vrusscanner irst ... there are at present no virus' that affect linux able to survive and propser 'in the wild'
[05:16] <root0405> tom47: That's good news
[05:16] <tom47> as to firewall sorry i dont use one because i rely on my router
[05:17] <soothsay> Anyone know how to solve this? http://dpaste.com/5055/
[05:17] <variant> root0405: if yo uhave a windows partition then you can use clamav on linux to scan your window partitions (more reliable than performing a scan from windows it's self)
[05:17] <root0405> I used a firewall on windows, not for the intrusions, but for the outgoing traffic...
[05:17] <tom47> root0405 but there is a mess of other things that are an overhead that no longer apply
[05:17] <mindstate> variant: thats good info , heh

[05:20] <variant> sdac221x: if you have to use that rpm the nyou shoudl use "alien"
[05:20] <adaptr> paul_baran: it is either looking for the wrong versions, or in the wrong place - strace the app to see where it looks for the libs
[05:20] <root0405> Thx for the advice. I had the intention of downloading the full DVD, but as you people advice: for an older PC it's better to use xubuntu.

[05:21] <adaptr> root0405: the "full DVD" still has less than 10% of all packages.. it's generally useless unless you have really slow internet

[05:23] <variant> mindstate: yes, use gparted
[05:23] <Randomtime> thanks bot
[05:23] <pbureau> Alex_B- there is a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file you need to create do locate wpa_supplicant you will find example files

[05:23] <mindstate> !gparted
[05:23] <ubotu> gparted is gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "sudo apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[05:23] <mindstate> variant: thanks, i thought so
[05:24] <GMWeezel> !deb
[05:24] <variant> mindstate: you might want to compile it from source thoug as the apt version is out of date and the new one is frankly awsome
[05:24] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[05:24] <GMWeezel> how do i unistall deb packages?
[05:24] <Quin> gi channel
[05:24] <mindstate> variant: ok thanks for the info
[05:24] <Quin> hi channel
[05:24] <sivik> GMWeezel, read man dpkg
[05:24] <variant> mindstate: you can install build-essential and all the other libs that gparted needs (dev versions) and compile/install it on the running live cd
[05:24] <Alex_B> ubotu:  One doc says you can't do WPA via the GUI (Feb 2006).  Great.

[05:25] <GMWeezel> I created the package with "alien" but i dont know where it was saved to and I can't find it

[05:27] <superkirbyartist> Anyone uses Ekiga?
[05:28] <amit> Hello All
[05:28] <Amit> i have ubuntu 5.0
[05:28] <Randomtime> !Ekiga
[05:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Ekiga - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:28] <Amit> i have the free shipped cd's
[05:28] <Amit> of ubuntu 6.0
[05:28] <superkirbyartist> !ekiga
[05:29] <ubotu> ekiga: H.323 and SIP compatible VOIP client. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.3-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 3582 kB, installed size 12568 kB
[05:29] <Amit> but they are very slow
[05:29] <Randomtime> oh VOIP
[05:29] <Amit> so how do i do it
[05:29] <GMWeezel> sivik: locate did not find it
[05:29] <variant> Amit: live cd's generaly are slow
[05:29] <Amit> ??
[05:29] <Randomtime> I'll shut up now
[05:29] <superkirbyartist> Randomtime over dialup/
[05:29] <Amit> how do i install 6.0
[05:29] <variant> Amit: do what?
[05:29] <variant> Amit: while the cd is booted click on "install"
[05:29] <sivik> GMWeezel, what rpm is it, it should be in the same place the rpm is
[05:29] <isofunk> hey
[05:29] <nwonknu-> sup?
[05:29] <arno`> hello
[05:29] <tom47> Amit are you running them as livecd' or installed onto hard disk?
[05:29] <isofunk> out of interest
[05:29] <nwonknu-> private
[05:29] <arno`> investigating
[05:29] <Amit> i tried installing
[05:29] <chris_shafto> yay ogle worked LD
[05:29] <superkirbyartist> Randomtime I use dialup is that why there's registration failed timeout?
[05:29] <chris_shafto> thanks
[05:30] <GMWeezel> sivik: the RPM was on my desktop
[05:30] <Amit> but it just gets stuck on manual partitioning thing
[05:30] <GMWeezel> sivik: it never appeared tho
[05:30] <mindstate> variant: i've got read+write access to my NTFS from my Linux part, would a re-partition really make difference? i can save some linux stuff to my NTFS?
[05:30] <variant> mindstate: why do you want to repartition it anyway?
[05:30] <pbureau> !ntfs-3g
[05:30] <Amit> so how do i upgrade to 6.0
[05:30] <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)
[05:30] <Amit> drapper drake
[05:30] <Amit> should i just download the updates
[05:30] <mindstate> variant: i was going to widen the HDD space on my linux part
[05:30] <tom47> Amit it will always be slow running in that mode unfortunately .... its caused by loading rpograms from the cd instead of a hard disk ..... its not an ubuntu issue as such
[05:30] <mindstate> i only gave it 9 gigs
[05:31] <variant> mindstate: well.. thats a good idea i fyou don't have much space..
[05:31] <Amit> i know
[05:31] <Amit> but is there another method
[05:31] <variant> Amit: annother method of what?
[05:31] <mindstate> variant: ive still got 23gigs left on my NTFS
[05:31] <sivik> GMWeezel, then apparently it didn't do it correctly, what program is it
[05:31] <tom47> Amit yes it has o be installed properly
[05:31] <Amit> so that i just upgrade to drapper drake it without using thoose cd's
[05:31] <mindstate> variant: thought id take 5 off
[05:31] <Amit> sorry for my english ... its not my first language
[05:31] <sivik> Amit, are you trying to repartition a NTFS
[05:32] <Amit> NO
[05:32] <tom47> Amit what is your firs anguage?
[05:32] <variant> Amit: i fyou allready have ubuntu installed you can change hoary to dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:32] <Amit> Hindi
[05:32] <erUSUL> !upgrade | Amit
[05:32] <ubotu> Amit: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:32] <Amit> but that would just upgrade the repositories
[05:32] <Amit> wont it
[05:32] <Amit> i wanted the updated kernel
[05:32] <erUSUL> Amit: go to that page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:32] <variant> Amit: yes, and the second part of the comman will upgrade the distro packages
[05:33] <erUSUL> Amit: and follow the instructions there
[05:33] <Amit> okay
[05:33] <Amit> thanks
[05:33] <Amit> i will have a look
[05:33] <variant> Amit: thats what it will do, apt-get update updates the repos and apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades the intsalled packages as much as possible (including the kernel)
[05:33] <variant> Amit: remember to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:33] <mindstate> !mount
[05:33] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[05:33] <variant> Amit: change hoary to dapper
[05:34] <mindstate> !DiskMounter
[05:34] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[05:34] <erUSUL> variant: the direct method of just changin sources.list is not recomended it is better to use the update manager...
[05:34] <variant> erUSUL: does that exist in hoary?
[05:35] <mindstate> i've never had a problem updating my sources.list  directly
[05:35] <variant> mindstate: nor i.. the update manager does allow to go back (i think) though
[05:35] <mindstate> variant: thats why we save sources.list.bak lol
[05:36] <variant> mindstate: what difference does that make?
[05:36] <variant> mindstate: i mean revert back to the older packages not the older sources.list
[05:36] <mindstate> variant: oh my mistake, maryjane's got a hold of me. heh
[05:38] <mewt> Is there a way to make every desktop of gnome have a different wallpaper ?
[05:39] <frogzoo> no
[05:39] <Amit> now i read it
[05:40] <Amit> and it says that you mount the cd rom and then type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade "
[05:40] <Amit> am i going correct ?
[05:41] <Amit> ??
[05:41] <Amit> anybody there ??
[05:41] <torrr> 	does linux have a problem with intel RAID?
[05:43] <Amit> anybody there ??
[05:43] <erUSUL> torrr: no that i know of
[05:43] <tom47> Amit there is a smaller ubuntu india group at #ubuntu-in .... not that i want to push you there but just letting you know
[05:43] <Amit> lol
[05:44] <Amit> Amit now i read it
[05:44] <Amit> Amit and it says that you mount the cd rom and then type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade "
[05:44] <Amit> Amit am i going correct ?
[05:44] <Amit> incase you guys missed it
[05:44] <Amit> :p
[05:45] <Mightily-Oats> im wondering if anyone can help me again.. a while ago (a few weeks) i was in here talking about my hdd, and how it kept ticking.. as though it was being put to sleep.. and then powering back up every 10 to 20 seconds.. it was a fujitsu laptop hdd (5400 8mb cache).. i recently upgraded to a seagate (7200 8mb cache)... and there is still the ticking sound... any ideas?
[05:45] <Tatster> Hi.  To those that were helping me earlier.....I've got over one problem - I had to add a kernel option for apci=force
[05:45] <mindstate> Amit: from what i've been reading i think thats correct
[05:45] <Amit> hmm
[05:46] <mindstate> Amit: not sure where everyone went :/
[05:46] <Amit> just wanted to be sure
[05:46] <tom47> Amit which version do you have installed again?
[05:46] <lts> Mightily-Oats, check your bios setup if you have power management on over there
[05:46] <Amit> i have breezy
[05:47] <tom47> ok
[05:47] <Amit> i wanted to upgrade to dapper
[05:47] <Amit> so i thought i would use the cdrom
[05:47] <predaeus> Mightily-Oats,  I had that too with some app I ran in the background. Dont remember what it was though.
[05:47] <predaeus> Mightily-Oats, it did it every 3-5 seconds with me.
 rats.. <lts>: cant find anything in there :(
 yeah... its not every 3-5 seconds.. around every 10-20 with me.. but still annoying
[05:48] <fsantana> oi] 
[05:49] <Tatster> Now I've hit my next problem.  This is using a 6.10 LiveCD  - it dies with an error /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control off
[05:49] <Mightily-Oats> i was kinda hoping that since i have tried 2 different drives (brands.. models and speeds) this wouldnt be happening
[05:50] <Mightily-Oats> is it possible that its they way i have my partitions.. i have my root partition as sda1 and my swap as sda8
[05:50] <Mightily-Oats> (8 being last partition on the drive)
[05:50] <lts> Mightily-Oats, partition order has nothing to do with it
 ok
[05:51] <predaeus> Mightily-Oats, dont think it is the drive. I don't know how experienced you are but you could try to kill apps one by one to see if it stops. That was what I did, but I can't remember what application I used than, that caused those anoying periodic ticks.
[05:51] <tom47> Amit did you see the warning to use the Alternate CD and not the livecd ????
[05:51] <Amit> no
[05:51] <Amit> but thats the only cd i got
[05:51] <Amit> its live but it still installs from it
 thats an idea.. thanks. kinda scared about killing my system though.. but i guess if i want to find it... ill have to try
[05:52] <wolfwalker> What the deuce?
[05:52] <tom47> there is a livecd that you can use for an install or an "Alternate" cd which you cannot use live but which you can install ... the notes on the ubuntu site recommend against using the livecd
[05:52] <tom47> Amit ^^^^^
[05:52] <bosozoku> cool.  i figured out my video problems!
[05:53] <Amit> so i cant use the cd
[05:53] <Amit> coz i only have the live cd's
[05:53] <Amit> and they are fucking slow
[05:53] <tom47> Amit you can but its not recommended and i take it from the comment that the results are unprdictable
[05:53] <Amit> so now what do i do??
[05:54] <LjL> !language | Amit
[05:54] <ubotu> Amit: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:54] <Amit> upgrade from the internet
[05:54] <Amit> umm sorry
[05:54] <tom47> !amit language
[05:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amit language - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:54] <predaeus> Mightily-Oats, you could still paste an "ps -e" to http://cpp.sf.net and the link here. But that would show everybody what you are running. Maybe I would recognize the app, if it is the same. Not good for security!!! Better try yourself.
[05:54] <LjL> Amit: cannot you get another CD?
[05:54] <tom47> !language | Amit
[05:54] <Amit> hey i said i wont do it again :p
[05:54] <LjL> tom47, i just did it

[05:54] <LjL> look at your backscroll ;)
[05:54] <tom47> LjL oops

[05:56] <Amit> hey hey
[05:56] <Amit> should i upgrade from the internet
[05:56] <jeffcheung> nice
[05:57] <mindstate> Amit: i think i've upgrade over the net before
 ok its there
[05:57] <tom47> Amit i would be inclined to get teh alternate cd and use bttorrent so that its sure to be ok
[05:57] <Mightily-Oats> under oats as harddrive
[05:58] <LjL> Amit: upgrade what to what
[05:58] <mindstate> !firewall
[05:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:59] <Amit> LjL: upgrade breezy to dapper
[05:59] <tom47> Amit you may not be able to get a 6.06 torrent ... just checking
[06:00] <LjL> Amit, why not
[06:00] <predaeus> Mightily-Oats, hm nah sry I think the one that bothered me isnt there. I think you will have to try the kill-em-one-by-one way.
[06:01] <Amit> i dont bittorrent
 ok.. thanks anyway :)
[06:01] <Amit> they are very slow
[06:01] <Amit> like my internet connection
[06:01] <mindstate> Amit: not in my experience
[06:01] <predaeus> try logging out first, then killing the login manager and so on.
[06:01] <predaeus> step by step
[06:01] <dpm_> test
[06:01] <predaeus> np
ok.. ill see how it goes :)
[06:02] <Mightily-Oats> later.. thanks again
[06:05] <Tatster> Mmm.....getting a bit frustrated here!!!  I'm trying to get Ubuntu Live CD working on my machine but failing.  XUbuntu Live CD works but plain Ubuntu dies with /bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off.
[06:05] <Tatster> I have done lots of googling and found lots of posts that mention this error
[06:05] <Tatster> but they all relate to probs after upgrading to Edgy
[06:06] <Tatster> But this doesn't match my system because it is a brand new hard disk today, installed Windows on one partition and now trying to get Ubuntu on the other
[06:06] <Tatster> Please can anyone suggest things I can try?
[06:06] <Stormx2> Yo. How can I set the size of a window?
[06:07] <tom47> Tatster if you have Xubuntu installed you can get ubuntu i believe by simply installing the buntu-desktop package
[06:07] <tom47> Tatster ubuntu-desktop
[06:08] <Bryan_3> anyone know of a good thread or wiki i can read on how to get a decent wireless network manager, how to install it and use it.  I have a laptop that i often switch networks with and use to look for networks in hotels and airports
[06:08] <devilsadvocate> !wireless
[06:08] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:08] <Tatster> tom47: oh ok. I didn't realise that.  I only have Xubuntu running as livecd  but I will install it now and then get the ubuntu-desktop package
[06:08] <nanda> NetworkManager is pretty good
[06:09] <devilsadvocate> Tatster, it'll be much easier for you to just get a ubuntu cd
[06:09] <Tatster> I've got one of those
[06:09] <nanda> your ubuntu cd is probably corrupted
[06:09] <Bryan_3> sorry, if anyone answered my question, I exited prematurely
[06:09] <nanda> I would suggest downloading it again or burning it again
[06:09] <devilsadvocate> then why dont you try to install directly from a ubuntu cd?
[06:09] <devilsadvocate> as
[06:09] <Tatster> I've md5sum'd it and I've downloaded it again, and burnt another disk
[06:10] <devilsadvocate> Tatster, did you try to run the "check  installation media"

[06:14] <Super_Cat_Frog> joet: use svn :)
[06:14] <LjL> !anyone
[06:14] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:14] <predaeus> Tatster: I think the ubuntu-desktop way is a good idea. additionally you could try the kubuntu cd, you can also install ubuntu-desktop from there then. but xubuntu would be more ligthweight for the sole purpose of installing ubuntu later.
[06:14] <ithaxor> its some 1 there how can help me with beryl?
[06:14] <joet> Super_Cat_Frog: I've heard of svn, what's so different?
[06:15] <variant> ithaxor: whats the problem?
[06:15] <Super_Cat_Frog> joet: you can do stuff like moving files, and retain history
[06:15] <variant> ithaxor: #ubuntu-xgl is a good stop
[06:15] <EyesOnMe[TechWiz> HELP!
[06:15] <joet> Okay, where can I find more information on SVN then?

[06:26] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[06:28] <Starwind> is that from the boot menu or in the terminal once the live CD boots?

[06:29] <Manna> I'm running live CD right now, also
[06:30] <variant> richard_: they are probably infected with windows DRM

[07:01] <devilsadvocate> WiseOdd, you may need the 915resolution package
[07:01] <playest> devilsadvocate, "error 22:no such partition"
[07:01] <wolfwalker> variant: let me know what?  I didn't say anything about letting me know anything did I?
[07:01] <ryan_> high-freq, everything is as is should be.. but still won't run phpinfo(); so i'm guessing something terribly wrong no?
[07:01] <variant> wolfwalker: wrong nick
[07:01] <high-freq> ryan: i haven't messed wit it in awhile...just gotta make sure php support is enabled and bam should work like a charm...someone here prolly has more exp than me right now...
[07:01] <devilsadvocate> playest, i give up. the only thing i can think of is a borked winows partiton
[07:01] <WiseOdd> wolfwalker: sux. i cant find anywhere with decent description for changing it..
[07:01] <devilsadvocate> the commands are all correct
[07:01] <playest> ok devilsadvocate
[07:01] <ryan_> high-freq, Ah, ok. chrs.

[07:02] <playest> thanks for your help
[07:02] <WiseOdd> devilsadvocate: 915resolution package? under add/remove?
[07:02] <ecastro> is there anyway to find out with code table a filesystem is using? Im trying to mount a fs but i get all the filenames with funny characters... i tried some codepages but i didnt succeeded...
[07:02] <wolfwalker> WiseOdd:  I think it has to do with the computer misreading the monitor
[07:02] <devilsadvocate> Wiseguy, in a terminal do sudo apt-get install 915resolution
[07:02] <wolfwalker> Can the computer get info from the monitor about its capabilities?
[07:03] <apokryphos> wolfwalker: hwinfo --monitor has quite a bit of info
[07:03] <devilsadvocate> and WiseOdd , i suggest yoiu find a how-to to do this. it need you to edit a coupe of config files
[07:03] <LjL> wolfwalker: yes. sometimes it gets it quite wrong though
[07:03] <WiseOdd> devilsadvocate: ill try it :) thx m8
[07:03] <apokryphos> ecastro: sudo fdisk -l gives all the info you'd need
[07:03] <ecastro> apokryphos: thanks!
[07:03] <WiseOdd> devilsadvocate: ok. ill come back l8er and harass u all, if i cant figure out how to make it work... :)
[07:04] <ryan_> Anyone else lknow what i can't get phpto work with apache2.. php is enabled.. won't pull phpinfo();

[07:04] <Manna> is there a way I can install ndiswrapper using Ubuntu live disk and not being on the internet?
[07:04] <wolfwalker> I just looked at it

[07:05] <devilsadvocate> tom47, i believe it is. since he has only one hd anyway, h0 ought to be correct as ubuntu boots
[07:05] <devilsadvocate> wolfwalker, lspci
[07:05] <tom47> yes i saw he said it booted
[07:06] <high-freq> andre: and it aint in /mnt anywhere?
[07:06] <Manna> is there a way I can install ndiswrapper using Ubuntu live disk and not being on the internet?

[07:06] <Faust-C> Manna: unless the cd has it no
[07:06] <wim> don't you just love ATI drivers...?
[07:06] <high-freq> someone said to enable universe and multiverse....
[07:06] <wolfwalker> high-freq: Go to System, Admin, Synaptic
[07:06] <wolfwalker> Search for wireshark
[07:06] <high-freq> doesn't show
[07:06] <tom47> andre is it listed in /etc/fstab?
[07:06] <wolfwalker> Hmmm
[07:06] <andre> tom47:  lemme check
[07:06] <high-freq> not even after i run apt-get update
[07:07] <wolfwalker> Yes, enable universe and multiverse
[07:07] <WiseOdd> wolfwalker: its for intel gma graphics cards...
[07:07] <devilsadvocate> WiseOdd, yes
[07:07] <ryan_> Anyone else lknow what i can't get phpto work with apache2.. php is enabled.. won't pull phpinfo();
[07:07] <wolfwalker> If you have not enabled universe and multiverse repositories yet, how were you able to download anything at all?
[07:07] <WiseOdd> devilsadvocate: do you know any packages for nvidia go7600?
[07:07] <wim> Can't get 3D to work on my ATI X800 - tried various walk throughs...was working fine on Dapper, did a reinstall with 6.10, and had to revert to VESA
[07:07] <andre> tom47: fstab no such dir
[07:07] <Manna> Faust-C: Thank you for replying =). Well, I am using the Ubuntu CD as a live CD before I fully install it. I keep following the guide but it tells me to run an apt-get. Supposidly this little sucker is on the disk =P. Thanks again, lemme mess around.
[07:07] <devilsadvocate> WiseOdd, nvidia drivers
[07:07] <devilsadvocate> !nvidia

[07:09] <Faust-C> andre: its a bot dude
[07:09] <wim> assuming Composite "false" is the same as Composite "0"

[07:23] <sdac_1x> hi,  i was installing a .deb package using the builtin debian package manager on Xubnutu edgy.  After installing it told me there was a problem and the software asked me to run "sudo apt-get install -f".  After running that command, it seems to be removing applications.  Suddenly the desktop disappeared and now I cannot boot into xubuntu.  It simply freezes before entering the login screen.
[07:23] <sdac_1x> This is my first experience with ubuntu,  I've spent 2 weeks configuring drivers, please help.
[07:23] <henry_> I do not have sound from either of my sound systems with ubuntu doew work on (UGH) windows
[07:24] <troll> okok
[07:24] <LjL> troll, you can use #ubuntu-it for italian
[07:24] <troll> that's mt problem
[07:24] <jrib> sdac_1x: what did you install?

[07:25] <jussi01> Do I need to open a port or something? anybody know how to make it work???
[07:25] <derek_> I'm locking up in the pcmcia init and would like to skip to be able to boot and edit the configuration
[07:25] <sdac_1x> i was installing some libfont dependency required for another app.  the install never succeded.  all this happended when i did apt-get install -f
[07:25] <LjL> troll: you mean, it isn't preserved at reboots?
[07:25] <triceratops> devilsadvocate: I would do so if there might be a chance to get an answer, but it isn't. :-/
[07:25] <ecastro> no body?
[07:25] <jrib> sdac_1x: why aren't you using ubuntu repositories instead of downloading debs?
[07:25] <LjL> troll: are you connected via an Ethernet card?
[07:25] <troll> each time i restart i must select my connection
[07:25] <ikonia> evening all
[07:26] <troll> is there a way to do it automatically?
[07:26] <sdac_1x> jrib:  it didnt have the most recent version that i needed.  anyway what the hell does apt-get install -f.  Did ubnutu somehow uninstall it self ???
[07:26] <andre> tom47:  I got it working
[07:26] <andre> thanks a buncyh
[07:26] <andre> bunch
[07:26] <ikonia> sdac_1x: ????
[07:26] <ecastro> i want to know with codepage my filesystem has, it is that difficult?
[07:26] <LjL> troll, how do you select your connection?
[07:26] <troll> dammi il sito italiano che faccio prima:D
[07:26] <troll> asd
[07:26] <LjL> troll, te l'ho dato, #ubuntu-it
[07:26] <andre> tom47:  I have to start writing some of this stuff down... I always forget...
[07:26] <sdac_1x> im new to linux so i dont really know how things work here
[07:27] <tom47> andre no probs btw i just missed you ... to avoid a reboot you could have used sudo mount -a
[07:27] <jussi01> anyone help me?
[07:27] <jrib> sdac_1x: it tries to resolve dependency issues.  But you can't just try to install random debs, you sometimes end up in your current situation when you do
[07:27] <WiseOdd> any1 know a good benchmark / burn in app? ihve just bought a new lappy, and suspect theres hardware problems...
[07:27] <ikonia> jussi01: you have to ask a question first
[07:27] <skip> jussi01 what do you need ?
[07:27] <Spee_Der> sdac_1x, welcome. Be patient and it will come to you.
[07:27] <jussi01> I did...here it is again...
[07:27] <jussi01> Im having a problem with sopcast. All the channels come up fine, but when I try to connect it doesnt go anywhere. the status bar just sits on:
[07:27] <jussi01> 0%,ur= 0k,dr=  0k,us= 0k,ds=  0k,peers= 0
[07:27] <jussi01> Do I need to open a port or something? anybody know how to make it work???
[07:27] <ikonia> WiseOdd: so you want hardware testing - not benchmarks
[07:27] <Manna> is it possible to view my ntfs hd partion from ubuntu live cd?
[07:27] <ikonia> Manna: just mount it - it will work
[07:27] <wim> hi, back again after X screw up
[07:28] <tom47> andre i use Gjots or others use tomboy
[07:28] <WiseOdd> ikonia: ...yes... that would be it :)
[07:28] <unimatrix9> sdac_1x you still got acces to the command line with wich you entered the install -f?
[07:28] <WiseOdd> ikonia: those often come 2gether :)
[07:28] <Manna> Hmm, lemme look. I want to get into linux but my wlan card is never detected.
[07:28] <ikonia> WiseOdd: why do you think there is hardware issues ?
[07:28] <wim> I can't disable composite extensions as it causes X to hang
[07:28] <sdac_1x> unimatrix9:  the os does not boot.  it freezes before the graphical login screen
[07:29] <WiseOdd> got several BSOD on the win install, and theres general unstability...
[07:29] <ikonia> WiseOdd: thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[07:29] <jussi01> so anyone know how to fix my sopcast?
[07:29] <ecastro> is that hard what i am asking?
[07:30] <WiseOdd> ikonia: i know, but ubuntu provides stable platform for testing hw problems...
[07:30] <sdac_1x> i don't understand how installing (legitimate software..not a virus) can completely damage an operating system.
[07:30] <ikonia> WiseOdd: not if you have hardware problems it doesn't
[07:30] <sdac_1x> are there any ways to recover the installation and configuration
[07:30] <ikonia> WiseOdd: there are livecd's out there for hardware testing
[07:30] <WiseOdd> ikonia: got some memmory disparity errors, whatever that means...
[07:30] <unimatrix9> sdac_1x, and you dont see the menu of grub at boot?
[07:30] <ikonia> WiseOdd: use memtest
[07:30] <WiseOdd> ikonia: more stable than windows, thats for sure...
[07:30] <sdac_1x> unimatrix9:  I do.
[07:30] <ikonia> WiseOdd: not at all
[07:31] <jrib> sdac_1x: because the debs were not intended for this OS.  You can try to revert the packages that you installed
[07:31] <Akuma_> anyone knows of a list of changes in feisty? changelogs.ubuntu.com isn't fun to read

[07:31] <WiseOdd> ikonia: !memtest
[07:31] <ecastro> HEY! NO BODY?!
[07:31] <WiseOdd> ikoia: sry :)
[07:31] <ikonia> WiseOdd: I know about memtest
[07:31] <ikonia> no problem

[07:31] <WiseOdd> !memtest
[07:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about memtest - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:31] <ikonia> WiseOdd: memtest is nothing to do with ubuntu
[07:32] <skip> has anyone an idea ?
[07:32] <sdac_1x> jrib:  can you tell me how to do that without bieng able to login to the system ?  will "recovery mode" help.  there is such a line in my grub menu
[07:32] <norf-ubu> !memtest64
[07:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about memtest64 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[07:32] <ecastro> please somebody help me out
[07:32] <jrib> sdac_1x: yes, if that works it will give you a root prompt
[07:32] <LjL> ikonia: not entirely true, memtest is installed by default and runnable from the GRUB menu
[07:32] <skip> i've found a terrible bug! everytime when i try to send somebody a file with gaim, which is bigger than 5mb, gaim ends with the message, after half of the time: core dumped gaim; can anybody help me ?
[07:32] <ikonia> LjL: yes, but its nothing to do with ubuntu
[07:32] <LjL> memtest86+
[07:32] <LjL> !memtest86+
[07:32] <ikonia> its just on the  livecd
[07:32] <ubotu> memtest86+: thorough real-mode memory tester. In component main, is standard. Version 1.65-1ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 59 kB, installed size 200 kB (Only available for i386 amd64)
[07:32] <sdac_1x> jrib> what do i do from there
[07:33] <LjL> ikonia: not just on the live cd, it's also an a final installation
[07:33] <jrib> sdac_1x: what exactly did you install
[07:33] <LjL> ikonia: anyway i wasn't following the discussion, just got highlighted by the bot
[07:33] <ikonia> ok - but its not part of / nor supported by ubuntu
[07:33] <ikonia> which is what I was trying to say
[07:33] <norf-ubu> ty LjL
[07:33] <LjL> ikonia: it is most definitely supported..
[07:33] <alecjw> hi. i've got some .bin firmware files for a wireless card. what do i do with them?
[07:33] <ikonia> LjL: is it ?
[07:33] <unimatrix9> sdac_1x, boo the machine and press Ctrl+Alt+F2
[07:33] <LjL> ikonia: it's in main and it's installed by default, so it's by all means a core part of ubuntu
[07:33] <WiseOdd> ikonia: thx for da help!
[07:33] <LjL> ikonia: "in component main is standard" does quite mean it's 100% supported
[07:33] <ikonia> LjL: bad chose of words, ubuntu won't help you debug the output
[07:33] <ikonia> eg: the users can't support the errors
[07:34] <sdac_1x> jrib:  i think it was called libconfig-config... it was a dependecy for libfont1
[07:34] <eodchop> Hello could someone help me get a broadcom wireless card running. I have tried bcmfwxx-cutter, ndiswrapper. Nothing is working.
[07:34] <unimatrix9> thats crtl+alt hold it down and press F2
[07:34] <jrib> sdac_1x: are you familiar with using apt-get and/or dpkg on the command line?
[07:34] <sdac_1x> unimatrix9:  before the grub menu
[07:34] <linuxgoober> does anyone know of a utility similar to fraps for linux?
[07:34] <LjL> ikonia: uhm, why do you say that? i think an error dump from memtest is totally fine here, if that's what you mean.  i'm not sure i'd be able to interpret it *myself*, but that doesn't mean anything
[07:35] <sdac_1x> jrib:  not really.  i just copy and paste commands from online guides to install stuff
[07:35] <wim> rm * -R
[07:35] <tom47> ecastro i doo not know what your needs are but does the command codepage serve any use to you ..... man codepage
[07:35] <ikonia> LjL: I think we differ in opinions here, I wouldn't say debugingg hardware output was part of ubuntu supports requirements
[07:35] <ikonia> but its fine to differ
[07:35] <jrib> sdac_1x: ok, if I send you a guide located on a web page you would be able to read it on the current computer right?
[07:35] <Manna> disk mounter seems to want to only mount my empty floppy drive. does anyone know how to make it mount my NTFS partitioned drive?

[07:36] <Hozer> I'm using Ubuntu server release 6.10 and have had a hell of a time getting php sessions to work... always get "Call to undefined function session_id() " on php pages that use sessions... has anyone seen this and beaten it?
[07:36] <jrib> !apt | sdac_1x
[07:36] <ubotu> sdac_1x: 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)
[07:36] <Manna> Ubuntu detects it, but doesn't mount it
[07:36] <ikonia> Manna: mount /dev/$device /$mount_point
[07:36] <alecjw> i've got some .bin firmware files for a wireless card. what do i do with them? do they live in /lib/firmware?
[07:37] <Manna> ikonia: $ is a variable, correct? so change it?
[07:37] <sdac_1x> unimatrix9:  what did you say Ctrl-Alt-F2 does ?
[07:37] <ikonia> alecjw: if udev is to load them, they must be in the correct please
[07:37] <LjL> ikonia, i think you find this channel a bit more special-purpose than it really is. of course, telling you to open your case, reseat the RAM etc may be a bit offtopic, but getting a memtest output from somebody to ascertain whether they have RAM problems or software problems is quite fine
[07:37] <ikonia> manncorrect
[07:37] <ecastro> i want to know which codepage my filesystem is using! that's what i want
[07:37] <ikonia> Manna:  correct
[07:37] <jrib> sdac_1x: the important things you need are (FOO is a package name):  apt-cache policy FOO   this tells you info about what is currently installed and available.  Then   apt-get install FOO=VERSION   will install version VERSION of FOO.  This should work ok as long as you have the original sources.list (no outside repositories)
[07:37] <ikonia> LjL: I agree on that
[07:37] <alecjw> ikonia: do you know where that right place might be?
[07:37] <Manna> ikonia: may I ask what would be a  normal value for $mount_point?
[07:37] <mindstate> Manna: try ntfs-3g
[07:37] <unimatrix9> kick you back on tty2, wich is the bash shell
[07:37] <ikonia> Manna: user preference
[07:38] <ikonia> mindstate: thats dangerous
[07:38] <alecjw> ikonia: because i just got 3 .bin files with no readme
[07:38] <Manna> well, I'm new to this =\
[07:38] <ikonia> alecjw: depends on your hardware, and if udev supports he loading of firmware for it
[07:38] <mindstate> ikonia: how so?
[07:38] <tom47> Manna check out http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only
[07:38] <sdac_1x> jrib: I added things to sources.list but i made a backup i think that i can restore.
[07:38] <unimatrix9> but i guess an reinstall would be better
[07:38] <ikonia> mindstate: write support is still beta
[07:38] <Manna> Thanks, tom47
[07:38] <mindstate> ikonia: ah, i didnt know that
[07:39] <viator> does anyone have the democracy player working properly

[07:39] <Chest> guys, I've upgraded to edgy, but my nvidia drivers are barfing, probably due to the new kernel.  How can I reconfigure them properly?

[07:46] <CoRnJuLiOx> jrib: sometimes .wmvs play, other times they don't
[07:46] <tom47> NaPsTeR_: its annoying but it does happen ..... usually to simply rn the program you can use Alt F2 and type in the name of the program ... and for more permanet usefulness you can use the menu editor to add it yourself
[07:46] <viator> ill just do apt-get install libatk* lol
[07:46] <Sorinello> Hello. If i want to reinstall Ubuntu, and i enter live cd, partition editor, and erase the 3 partitions .. primary, extended and swap, using latgest contigous free space, it it possible that ubuntu can read from the deleted zone, and use the previous settings ?
[07:47] <viator> see what happens
[07:47] <jrib> NaPsTeR_: ALT-f2 then enter the command
[07:47] <Cryoniq> !ntfs
[07:47] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:47] <unimatrix9> sdac_1x its debian based, but uses different repositories and conf
[07:47] <viator> nope
[07:47] <unimatrix9> so you really need the ubuntu repositories
[07:47] <viator> that didnt work
[07:48] <sdac_1x> unimatrix9: so if i need to get something that is newer than in repository.  is it safer to get source code and compile instead ?
[07:49] <ed__> hi
[07:50] <unimatrix9> yes thats an other option...
[07:51] <unimatrix9> first get your system up and running again, worrie about the rest later
[07:51] <cmweb> what is frs.joomla_1_0.1_0_9
[07:51] <NaPsTeR_> i cant get lmms 2 run. wat do i do?
[07:51] <Pelo> NaPsTeR_,  look in the menu under  application > accessories >  toward the bottom ,  terminal,   type the program name in there
[07:51] <andre> hello again all
[07:51] <andre> tom47:  I've got another question for you if you don't mind?
[07:51] <viator> jrib ok i tried it from the cli and got alot more errors than from the gui
[07:51] <viator> heres the paste bin
[07:52] <Cryoniq> Is it possible to mount an NTFS partition and have it writeable at all, or is it only possible to read?
[07:52] <troll> ciao
[07:52] <NaPsTeR_> i tried its not working
[07:52] <troll> mi ridici il link ita?
[07:52] <cmweb> omg wrong room
[07:52] <Bnirkow> Pelo: i can`t find "MEncoder".. on gnomefiles are`nt this file
[07:52] <tom47> andre ask and i will tell you if i mind ;-)
[07:52] <sdac_1x> jrib:  just to double check.  i remove the offending package..install repos version of package...then restart.  no other stuff in between or after ?
[07:52] <Sorinello> Hello. If i want to reinstall Ubuntu, and i enter live cd, partition editor, and erase the 3 partitions .. primary, extended and swap, using latgest contigous free space, it it possible that ubuntu can read from the deleted zone, and use the previous settings ?
[07:52] <viator> http://www.pastebin.ca/330232
[07:53] <andre> tom47: hehe ok, when on the console I can easily edit files I dont' have permission for with sudo
[07:53] <jrib> sdac_1x: it's better to install and request the specific version you want.  After you get the ubuntu version installed, install the ubuntu-desktop package too
[07:53] <NaPsTeR_> so how can i get lmms 2 run?
[07:53] <rohan__> hey all
[07:53] <andre> tom47:  but in gui mode I cannot.. any ideas on how I can edit files I don't have permission for?
[07:53] <rohan__> where can i get cool skins 4 bmp?
[07:53] <jrib> sdac_1x: the important things you need are (FOO is a package name):  apt-cache policy FOO   this tells you info about what is currently installed and available.  Then   apt-get install FOO=VERSION   will install version VERSION of FOO.  This should work ok as long as you have the original sources.list (no outside repositories)
[07:54] <tom47> andre so using sudo you can easily edit files is that what you mean?
[07:54] <sdac_1x> ok thanks jrib and unimatrix9.  hopefully ill get my system back.
[07:54] <NixerX> Anyone crafty with mailserver setups?
[07:55] <Cryoniq> hmm.. there seem to be sold software for linux that can handle to read AND write NTFS partitions.. anyone tried that?
[07:55] <Harkins> When I turn on and off "Enable Wireless" in the NetworkManager applet, is it actually turning on and off my wifi card? I'd like to know for battery life.
[07:55] <andre> tom47:  yup like for example I'm running apache but I cannot edit the files in /var/www unless I access them through console by typing in the root password using sudo
[07:55] <wim> anyone wanna help me out with DRI and ATI X800?
[07:56] <tom47> andre do you know about permissions?
[07:56] <andre> tom47:  I'd like to do this through gui instead but I don't knwo how to let linux know I've got permission
[07:56] <andre> tom47: yes and no
[07:56] <Cryoniq> hmm as well as free software solutions doing that also..
[07:56] <wim> (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:5:0:1) found
[07:56] <tom47> you can us the gksudo command to run gui apps as superuser/
[07:56] <wim> any clues?
[07:57] <wim> Xorg.conf says PCI 5:0:0
[07:57] <andre> tom47: gksudo eh?
[07:57] <wim> Changing it in Xorg.conf crashes X
[07:57] <Cryoniq> Allright.. anyone? NTFS under Linux that does write also.. tell me your secrets on success :P
[07:57] <tom47> andre eg gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[07:57] <variant> Cryoniq: yeah thre are multiple solutions for linux
[07:57] <andre> tom47: ok yes well that's what I'm trying to avoid
[07:57] <Bobbix> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no man in the world know how configure WPA2-PSK and AES
[07:58] <Bnirkow> how to add in gnomebaker, an limiter to 1,4GB disks??
[07:58] <variant> Cryoniq: you used to have to use captive with the windows driver but now you can use ntfs-ng for FUSE
[07:58] <andre> for example I want to delete a bunch of files...  its a lot simpler in gui than command line
[07:58] <Cryoniq> variant: :) Anyone that spring to mind that is the most popular of them? =)
[07:58] <sivik> andre: if their all the same types, its really easy in cli
[07:58] <wim> (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:5:0:1) found ...does anyone know how to fix this?
[07:58] <pbureau> Bobbix- easy get wpa_supplicant and configure it.. I sue it
[07:58] <Cryoniq> ok... sounds good :)
[07:58] <xtknight> the secure (from dcc exploits) server was port 8001 right?
[07:58] <pbureau> s/sue/use
[07:58] <variant> Cryoniq: I haven't had to use ntfs for years thank god but when i did it was captive, that was flawless
[07:58] <Bobbix>  pbureau easy ?
[07:58] <andre> sivik: cli?
[07:58] <Bobbix> whant to try ?
[07:58] <apokryphos> xtknight: yes

[07:59] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[07:59] <tom47> the idea is to segregate administrative functions away from user functions andre ..... whilst it may seem inconvenient it safe
[07:59] <sivik> andre: command line
[07:59] <Bobbix>  pbureau i've configured all thath he need but no way

[07:59] <NaPsTeR_> does anyone have lmms?
[07:59] <pbureau> Bobbix- I though so... install wpa_supplicant and locate wpa_wupplicant look at the examples and make a wpa_supplicant.conf in your /etc/

[07:59] <Cryoniq> variant: =) I have 2x200 gig of video material so I rather not repartion and format them when I now migrated from windows :P
[07:59] <variant> xtknight: yeah i typed that like 3 lines before you
[07:59] <Bobbix> i've configure wpa_supplicant .conf
[07:59] <wim> (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:5:0:1) found ...does anyone know how to fix this? Anyone seen this before? Please give me a hand here...
[08:00] <xtknight> variant, ahh ;)
[08:00] <Bobbix> i've starder wpa_supplicant daemon
[08:00] <Bobbix> but not don't work at all
[08:00] <bXi> wim thats for your secondary display i think
[08:00] <variant> Cryoniq: i see.. I would use captive as it sounds like you don't have any backups of that material

[08:06] <tom47> ok open a terminal window and type lmms there
[08:06] <Sinister-Ghost> Yeh

[08:06] <viator> and all the depends seem to be pegged at edgy

[08:07] <Sinister-Ghost> I know what you did last winter ...
[08:07] <darwinawards> of course, this is just a first impression (live cd...)
[08:07] <viator> i just grabbed the .deb
[08:07] <xtknight> wim, could you paste the whole log (on pastebin please)
[08:07] <variant> Li`lEndian: "gnome-terminal -e nano -w" is the command you want to add
[08:07] <ab> enable sideport memory fully
[08:07] <xtknight> turbolover, binary blob=fglrx ;).  thats what we call it because there's no source code for it.
[08:07] <ab> from bios
[08:07] <viator> and it doesnt want to install because all the depnedencies
[08:07] <Ki-Chi-Mi> I was on here a few nights ago about my wireless card, i ot it installed but now it connects to my wireless network then will disconnect and rfefuse to connect, i dont know what the make is but the model number is PANWL2203 and it has a ZyDAS chipset
[08:07] <Li`lEndian> for now, all it says is 'unknown mime-type'.
[08:07] <wim> xtnight - ok - i'll try thanls
[08:07] <viator> seem to be edgy version
[08:07] <viator> s
[08:07] <xtknight> turbolover, and by 'didnt do anything', do you mean it did not operate or it did not fix the sluggish problem?  did you recall adding DRI or GLX to extensions?
[08:07] <variant> Li`lEndian: did you see what i said?
[08:08] <darwinawards> turbolover: careful with fglrx it doesn't always work right
[08:08] <willys_noesta> I'm on dapper how can I add mp3 support to amarok?? (NOTE: libxine-extracodecs and xine-ectras seems to not be on my repos tough i added the universe and multiverse repos)
[08:08] <Li`lEndian> variant: on a Virtual terminal?
[08:08] <variant> Li`lEndian: ah sorry i miss understood
[08:08] <NaPsTeR_> i tried that
[08:08] <NaPsTeR_> it also never worked
[08:08] <Li`lEndian> no probs. i think i've got to export some path.
[08:08] <jrib> viator: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/linux/ubuntu/ follow https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/wiki/LinuxNotes.  That version worked fine for me, I don't know about the more recent one
[08:09] <turbolover> well here is what i did: i followed directions on this page: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557
[08:09] <wim> xt: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3128/
[08:09] <jrib> viator: or just compile from source if you really need the latest one and their package is buggy
[08:09] <variant> Li`lEndian: it tells you in man edit
[08:09] <xtknight> turbolover, are you using the fglrx module at the moment?
[08:09] <ademan> is there any linux version that i could fit on a thumb drive with a windows based virtual machine?  (i'm tired of using windows at school)
[08:09] <darwinawards> willys_noesta: you don't have libxine-extracodecs? did you do an apt-get update?
[08:09] <tom47> NaPsTeR_: ok i installed it here and it does work here ..... please use synaptic and check that it says its installed
[08:09] <Li`lEndian> don't know which one- think its like edit = nano $1 && EXPORT edit (?)..
[08:09] <Li`lEndian> oh, ok
[08:09] <Li`lEndian> didnt know there'd be a man for edit
[08:09] <willys_noesta> darwinawards: as far as I can remember yes... but let me check to be sure
[08:09] <turbolover> xtknight: i put that in as my driver and did an apt-get install, restarted X
[08:09] <variant> ademan: yeah, any version.. the size of the thumb drive is what matters
[08:09] <turbolover> i didnt install restricted drivers because i didnt get the file name right though
[08:10] <xtknight> wim, youll have to type out my whole name as that's the only way i get alerted...looking at your log now
[08:10] <turbolover> thought they would already be isntalled
[08:10] <NaPsTeR_> i couldnt  find it in synaptic]

[08:11] <NaPsTeR_> i downoaded it
[08:11] <jrib> sdac_1x: when you boot normally, can you hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal with net access?
[08:11] <xtknight> wim, drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0::: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
[08:11] <NaPsTeR_> now im doin it through synaptic
[08:11] <Ki-Chi-Mi> ademan: I managed to write to my penstick with it
[08:11] <sidny4> whenever I boot I have to modprobe ndiswrapper to get wireless working, how do I make it load ndiswrapper automatically?
[08:11] <wim> xtnight - what does that mean?
[08:11] <xtknight> wim, lol i know my name is tough, it has a k in it (xchat is picky)
[08:12] <xtknight> turbolover, one sec
[08:12] <wim> oh cr@p, yes, xtknight...darn
[08:12] <sdac_1x> jrib:  no booting normally freezes on the boot screen.  i tried ctralt f1 and f2 no response
[08:12] <xtknight> wim, there! ;)
[08:12] <darwinawards> !ndiswrapper
[08:12] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:12] <wim> too easy mistake to make!
[08:12] <turbolover> oh here is my xorg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3130/
[08:12] <ademan> Ki-Chi-Mi: oh, sounds good then, i'll give it a try, do you happen to have a tutorial on how to get the cd image onto the thumbdrive though? i tried using gparted to no avail
[08:12] <viator> yeah i just installed the older version
[08:12] <Ki-Chi-Mi> BRB
[08:12] <viator> heh
[08:12] <relachs111118> can i burn the "ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso" on a DVD-RW?
[08:12] <xtknight> turbolover, ok.  you have dri and glx loaded twice.  i would remove the duplicate dri and glx extensions
[08:12] <relachs111118> as bootable dvd
[08:12] <wim> xtknight - I had no problems with this card on dapper
[08:13] <Ki-Chi-Mi> ADEMAN: google My slax creator
[08:13] <wim> Pci-e card
[08:13] <turbolover> ok fixed
[08:13] <xtknight> wim, researching..
[08:13] <turbolover> that part at least
[08:13] <xtknight> turbolover, restart x server
[08:13] <jrib> sdac_1x: you could do as you suggested (see packages.ubuntu.com to grab the deb) using a usb stick but that won't fix all those removed packages.  My other suggestion would be to stop gdm from trying to start, but if you say it is completely stuck, then it may be faster to just do a reinstall rather than keep troubleshooting this
[08:14] <obstfliege> Can someone help me with this: I installed this theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=52027 in System->Options->Theme Now the Taskbar an everything disapears ...  now i startet the "secure Gnome"
[08:14] <ademan> Ki-Chi-Mi: cool, thanks i'll check it out
[08:14] <peirce141> I just installed Symantec PcAnywhere 12 Crossplatform, and its giving me this error when I try to run it: exec: 7: /bin/bash2: not found
[08:14] <Ki-Chi-Mi> ademan: No problem :)
[08:15] <xtknight> wim, sudo modprobe drm
[08:15] <sdac_1x> jrib:  ok ill do a reinstall. is there any files i can save so that i can restore most of the configurations and driver installs ive done ?
[08:15] <Ki-Chi-Mi> ademan: You must also make sure that your schools computers support booting from USB Pendrives, you may need to change the boot order in the BIOS
[08:15] <wim> xtknight: onto something there I think: FATAL: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot allocate memory
[08:16] <xtknight> wim, type "free" and report the results in pastebin
[08:16] <CarlFK> is there a command to mute the speaker ?
[08:16] <jrib> sdac_1x: save your /home
[08:16] <khatahn> hi, is the package installtion/uninstalltion history saved somewhere?
[08:17] <wim> xtknight - I got 2GB memory in my machine!
[08:17] <xtknight> turbolover, did you reboot ur X server yet?
[08:17] <sdac_1x> jrib:  i have that on a spearate partition
[08:17] <xtknight> wim, try it anyway
[08:17] <tom47> CarlFK if using gnome right click on speaker in top rh corner of screen
[08:17] <wim> xtknight: here goes: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3133/
[08:17] <johnn> hi is there a way to find out which packages are installed from 3rd party repos? (something like apt-cache policy for all packages) ?
[08:17] <jrib> sdac_1x: I have to go now, gl.  That's good planning then, pat yourself on the back :)
[08:17] <CarlFK> tom47: command that I can put in a script
[08:17] <xtknight> wim, you are using the stock ubuntu kernel, correct?
[08:17] <sdac_1x> jrib:  alright then.  thanks for you help.
[08:18] <wim> xtknight: yep 6.10
[08:18] <xtknight> wim, type "sudo modprobe msr"  just to see if anything will load.  msr is not harmful, it is just a low-level interface to your CPU's registers
[08:18] <willys_noesta> join #ubuntu-ops
[08:19] <willys_noesta> ups
[08:19] <CarlFK> all even take rmmod ing a sound driver...
[08:19] <willys_noesta> XDD
[08:19] <wim> xtknight - seemed to load OK, as my prompt comes back without any message
[08:19] <willys_noesta> and I was waiting XDDD
[08:19] <turbolover> xt no i was afk for a sec
[08:19] <xtknight> wim, alright.  try "sudo modprobe fglrx" and then "sudo modprobe radeon" and then "sudo modprobe drm"
[08:19] <foxy0brown> #ubuntu-fr-classroom
[08:20] <darwinawards> xtknight: modprobe drm? drm as in digital restrictions management?
[08:20] <xtknight> darwinawards, fortunately not.
[08:20] <xtknight> darwinawards, direct rendering module
[08:20] <wim> xtknight: sudo modprobe fglrx is fine, radeon comes back with: WARNING: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Cannot allocate memory
[08:20] <wim> FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[08:20] <darwinawards> xtknight: lol :-P
[08:20] <graungaard> rv
[08:20] <turbolover> xtknight: okay restarted
[08:21] <xtknight> lol restrictions management more like it.
[08:21] <darwinawards> I've got a problem with samba - can someone try to help me?
[08:21] <hbaigu> CarlFK, if you are using alsa, see man amixer
[08:21] <xtknight> supposedly it's "rights management" :P
[08:21] <turbolover> stil on mesa
[08:21] <xtknight> wim, post the output of 'dmesg' in pastebin please
[08:21] <turbolover> xtknight : i didnt install the restricted modules, could that have anything to do with it
[08:21] <darwinawards> anyone here have experience with samba?
[08:21] <willys_noesta> I dont remember who were helping me but I did an "apt-get update" and I still dont have libxine-extracodecs
[08:22] <CarlFK> hbaigu: I think something is circumventing alas - cuz that is already muted
[08:22] <utO> ciao
[08:22] <darwinawards> willys_noesta: alright - manually add every section of every part of every repository to your sources.list
[08:22] <CarlFK> but I am in a class, and now and then I get "bling!" - I think it is the play command
[08:22] <xtknight> turbolover, post the output of 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:22] <darwinawards> or just download the package from packages.ubuntu.com
[08:22] <willys_noesta> darwinawards: I have 2 packages that I keep from edgy
[08:23] <xtknight> turbolover, i dont think the restricted modules would matter.  fglrx looks like its being loaded.  type "sudo modprobe fglrx" right now also just to make sure. but i still need your Xorg.0.log
[08:23] <darwinawards> willys_noesta: why?
[08:23] <wim> xtknight: there you go mate: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3139/
[08:23] <willys_noesta> darwinawards: this packages I have:
[08:23] <willys_noesta> libxine-extracodecs_1.1.1+ubuntu1-2_i386.deb
[08:23] <willys_noesta> libxine-extracodecs_1.1.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

[08:24] <xtknight> wim, post your Xorg config
[08:24] <darwinawards> willys_noesta: you want http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libxine-extracodecs
[08:24] <willys_noesta> darwinawards: should I try to install one of those??
[08:24] <turbolover> sid@sid-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe fglrx

[08:25] <dimeo> Who's got a favorite list of packages to install?  Here's one :   sudo apt-get install cream gtodo	notecase streamtuner smbfs checkgmail brightside beagle
[08:25] <dimeo> goobox gstreamer0.8-lame  p7zip-full dvdrip k9copym  gddrescue
[08:25] <xtknight> turbolover, `uname -a` please
[08:26] <turbolover> whats the pastebin again?
[08:26] <willys_noesta> darwinawards: but then the question: IF that pagkage is on dapper repos why I dont have them??
[08:26] <xtknight> !pastebin|turbolover
[08:26] <ubotu> turbolover: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:26] <xtknight> turbolover, just paste uname -a   here
[08:26] <willys_noesta> darwinawards: you could take a look at my sources but they are good
[08:26] <dimeo> gddrescue is fun... great to salvage family photos from a scratched CD-R
[08:26] <darwinawards> I've got a problem with samba - it's installed and the firewall exceptions are enabled, but my windows laptop can't connect to them via hostname (doing \\192.168.2.2 works though) - what could the problem be?
[08:26] <wim> xtknight - nothing that exciting about my xorg.conf, looks pretty normal to me....
[08:27] <turbolover> Linux sid-desktop 2.6.15-27-386 #1 PREEMPT Fri Dec 8 17:51:56 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:27] <xtknight> wim, try removing BusID.  you know how to get back here if there's any problems right?
[08:27] <turbolover> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3142/
[08:27] <wim> xtknight - remove BusID completely?
[08:27] <xtknight> wim, the whole busid line yes
[08:28] <wim> xtknight: ok - yep - I know how to get back, "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" etc... ;-)
[08:28] <turbolover> xt: that is the log of /var/log/xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3142/
[08:28] <xtknight> wim, yeah just add busid back in i guess.  or change driver to vesa and remove dri/glx
[08:28] <opopanax> hello people
[08:28] <roberto> c
[08:28] <xtknight> wim, if you have issues without busid
[08:28] <xtknight> turbolover, thanks
[08:28] <xtknight> what he
[08:28] <xtknight> turbolover, having the same problems as wim
[08:28] <xtknight> talk about odd
[08:28] <kritzstapf> hi, id like ubuntu to use the ntfs-3g-driver to mount ntfs-disks (usbsticks) when mounting automatically, how to achive this?
[08:29] <wim> ok - be back shortly
[08:29] <xtknight> is there some problem with the latest ati drivers maybe ?
[08:29] <xtknight> wim, alright
[08:29] <TrioTorus> problem running commercial software (pftrack): http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3137/
[08:29] <TrioTorus>  it's an old 32bit program but it is complaining about gcc4.2??
[08:29] <opopanax> what's up with ctrl-alt-+/- in edgy?  doesn't seem to work, and the switch video mode also doesn't work with some gl apps like nwn
[08:29] <xtknight> turbolover, (EE) fglrx(0): Fail to initialize ASIC in kernel.
[08:29] <turbolover> xt: so would this be the root cause of my sluggishness?
[08:29] <ab> RE-INSTALL xtknight
[08:29] <dimeo> !automatix
[08:29] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:29] <xtknight> ab, me?  why lol
[08:30] <xtknight> turbolover, yes likely
[08:30] <dimeo> is automatix really *that* bad?
[08:30] <TrioTorus> I'm trying to run pftrack on 64bit ubuntu edgy eft
[08:30] <yellow> dimeo, i tried it, never used it, never liked it
[08:30] <dimeo> It's worked great!
[08:30] <dimeo>  www.getautomatix.com: bittornado, sunjava, network manager, multimedia codecs, media players:	mplayer and ff plugin, AUD-DVD codecs, archiving tools, adobe reader,  wine, GnomeBaker, ctrl-alt-delete, oh and for sure democracy player!
[08:30] <javi> hola
[08:30] <yellow> and now my new box i'm running is without it and it's GREAT too
[08:30] <yellow> ^^!
[08:30] <dimeo> easy to do all that with no errors so far
[08:30] <xtknight> turbolover, looks like a kernel version mismatch
[08:30] <xtknight> Was there a recent kernel update to ubuntu?
[08:30] <darwinawards> dimeo: automatix sucks ass...
[08:31] <JJ> hi all,,,,,,,,, whats the best app to use to connect ubunto to my works VPN please ?
[08:31] <dimeo> darwin.. .why do you figure?
[08:31] <christof-kr> TrioTorus, try removing (or just moving away) the libgcc_s.so.1 in yout pftrack installation
[08:31] <darwinawards> xtknight: no, unless you installed the 2.6.17-50 one from proposed updates
[08:31] <darwinawards> dimeo: because it doesn't do anything that apt-get can't and because it breaks more often than it works
[08:32] <Linux_Newbie_756> my ubuntu has been booting slower than usual, any sugestions as to how i can speed it up?
[08:32] <yellow> JJ,  try vino (already installed by default), set up ssh, and runs vino through a ssh tunnel
[08:32] <obstfliege> How do i install this mousetheme : http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=52027
[08:32] <beuno> JJ, also, http://realvpn.real.com/#download
[08:32] <mirak> hi
[08:32] <mirak> I have a broken package, python-freevo , how can I remove it ?
[08:32] <opopanax> dang it
[08:32] <yellow> beuno, is realvpn better than vino ?
[08:32] <beuno> JJ, install instructions: http://vance.cis.gsu.edu/2006/05/17/vpn-client-on-linux-at-gsu/
[08:32] <mirak> reinstall or remove doesn't work
[08:32] <dimeo> most of those packages I listed were crazy to install without automatix.. .and not in the repositories:  sunjava, media codecs, and a few half dozen other
[08:32] <christof-kr> TrioTorus, seems like pftrack provides it's own libgcc which is not compatible with the rest of your system. so moving it away may help to resolve the confusion
[08:33] <xtknight> turbolover, im still investigating.  it looks like you have similar problems as wim does
[08:33] <christof-kr> TrioTorus,  so that the system libs are used
[08:33] <dimeo> automatix made it a point and click ... ok maybe two clicks
[08:33] <beuno> yellow, haven't tested them enough to say, only used them ocassionally
[08:33] <yellow> only caveat i have with vino is it doesn't work unless you're manually logged in
[08:33] <JJ> thanks. ill try when I get bcak
[08:33] <BigToe> !vnc
[08:33] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[08:33] <opopanax> automatix appears to be okay, but i don't like something changing my repos (especially to broken ones) without explicitly letting me know.
[08:33] <dimeo> Bigtoe: check out freenx... I think it's waaay better
[08:33] <DeltaStorm> Can someone tell me how to install gnome-ppp on ubuntu 6.10 (I get an error message could not find package)??
[08:34] <mirak> help
[08:34] <comthre3-Bird> hey,,
[08:34] <BigToe> dimeo, yeah, but the client's on windows... or can you use freenx on windows?
[08:34] <TrioTorus> christof-kr, hey thanks! That worked1
[08:34] <guerby> hi, I added a new disk to my ubuntu edgy machine (/dev/sda), created a partition with gparted, now is there a graphical tool to mount it?
[08:34] <wim> ok xtknight: back...I commented out the BusID line using #, restarted X, and it crashed (garbled graphics)
[08:35] <xtknight> wim, are these drivers off of ati.com ?
[08:35] <psynaps3> Hi, can someone please tell me how to change the boot flag? i just reinstalled windows and i need to set the boot flag back to the /boot partition
[08:35] <mrbayHU> hey
[08:35] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, i see it in my listing.
[08:35] <yellow> guerby, put it in /etc/fstab
[08:35] <DeltaStorm> ???
[08:36] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp?
[08:36] <Cryoniq> variant: Is fuse implemented in the kernel already since 2.6.14? Or one need to install that?
[08:36] <DeltaStorm> yes i know
[08:36] <wim> xtknight, no, they're the ones that came with ubuntu...well, downloaded them using apt-get install
[08:36] <christof-kr> TrioTorus, great!
[08:36] <DeltaStorm> but it say could not find package
[08:36] <comthre3-Bird> guys, im trying to run ubuntu 6.10,i burnt the cd fine, everything is ok, but when i try running it, i get a white line on the top of my laptop screen, and then the screen slowly turns white, im guessing its a vedio card problem, i have a trident cyberblade XP, is there anyway to run ubuntu with that graphics card? thank you
[08:36] <xtknight> wim, ok.  i would try the ones off ati.com
[08:36] <guerby> yellow, no ui tool? my fstab is full of UUID=80ec3e86-aa4e-484b-94e3-16ab7ba1c193... how do I find the UUID?
[08:36] <opopanax> maybe a typo?  are you using synaptic?
[08:36] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, try installing with "alternate version
[08:36] <mirak> help
[08:36] <xtknight> !uuid
[08:36] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:36] <wim> xtknight - I tried the latest driver package, but have a completely different problem - "architecture not supported" when trying to build a package for Ubuntu/6.10
[08:36] <DeltaStorm> No
[08:36] <xtknight> guerby, type "blkid" to get UUIDS
[08:37] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, see if synaptic will find "ppp" with a search for it.
[08:37] <yellow> there ya go guerby
[08:37] <yellow> =)
[08:37] <xtknight> guerby,  "sudo blkid" perhaps, sorry
[08:37] <comthre3-Bird> beuno i dont want to install it now, i want to run the live cd first see how it is then install it,
[08:37] <DeltaStorm> i tried gnome-ppp it didnt find it...
[08:37] <xtknight> wim, 32 bit or 64 bit host?
[08:37] <skumar> GUIDE: I have some previously d/l ed deb packages; can i use them now
[08:37] <beuno> oh, then you should search the forums to see what specific flags you need to set with that video card
[08:37] <guerby> yellow, xtknight thx I got it /dev/sda1: UUID="d9c7090a-5601-4f25-ba3e-9d66880b2114"
[08:37] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, do you have the universe repository enabled?
[08:37] <wim> My system is 64 bit AMD, but I'm running 32 bit Edgy
[08:38] <comthre3-Bird> beuno ok,
[08:38] <xtknight> wim, and you downloaded the 32-bit driver package
[08:38] <xtknight> wim, ?
[08:38] <wim> yep...
[08:38] <xtknight> wim, well lets try that route again.
[08:38] <DeltaStorm> I cant connect to the NET im trying to install my modem, im connecting from win now
[08:38] <xtknight> !ati
[08:38] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:38] <DeltaStorm> so i cant download anything from linux
[08:38] <wim> xtknight - well, I think it has 32 bit as well as 64 bit in the driver package - it's a whopping 50MB odd download
[08:38] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, ah, i see.  not on the cd.
[08:39] <psynaps3> Hi, can someone please tell me how to change the boot flag? i just reinstalled windows and i need to set the boot flag back to the /boot partition
[08:39] <darwinawards> well, this blows
[08:39] <kritzstapf> hi, id like ubuntu to use the ntfs-3g-driver to mount ntfs-disks (usbsticks) when mounting automatically, how to achive this?
[08:39] <hyperb0lix> psynaps3: fdisk?
[08:39] <hyperb0lix> wim: Wim is my German class name :P
[08:39] <wim> hyperb0lix - hehe - I'm Dutch
[08:39] <DeltaStorm> I tried using pppconfig, it dialed , you can hear the normal modem sound and it just cant connect... :(
[08:39] <opopanax> interesting
[08:39] <axisys> !dst
[08:39] <opopanax> well, doesn't sound like a hardware problem
[08:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dst - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:40] <wim> xtknight: I downloaded the first download off: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html
[08:40] <xtknight> wim, edgy right?
[08:40] <psynaps3> hyperb0lix: argh, stupid me... thanks
[08:40] <psynaps3> :)
[08:40] <wim> xtknight - 6.10 release
[08:40] <AphoxemaG> Can someone help me booting Ubuntu? u.u
[08:40] <axisys> is there a patch for DST for ubuntu?
[08:40] <axisys> AphoxemaG: reboot
[08:40] <DeltaStorm> I can connect using networking tool on 6.06 but on 6.10 I cant using networking cuz it doesnt have activate or deactivate buttons
[08:40] <xtknight> wim, switch to the vesa driver and report back here.  we will have to remove traces of the old fglrx
[08:41] <wim> xtknight: ok - I'll switch back to VESA....
[08:41] <xtknight> wim, you know how to?
[08:41] <wim> yep - no probs
[08:41] <xtknight> wim, dont forget to remove dri/glx from extensions
[08:41] <xtknight> ok
[08:41] <DeltaStorm> is there a link to gnome-ppp so I can manually download it and then install it?
[08:41] <wim> xtknight - yes ok
[08:41] <xtknight> turbolover, youre still around i assume?
[08:42] <turbolover> yeah
[08:42] <xtknight> turbolover, did you download drivers off ati.com?
[08:42] <AphoxemaG> Oh, I'm in Slackware right now... when I try to boot from a 2.6 kernel with PCI access set to 'any', I have to append 'pci=nommconfig' because my parentboard is incompatable with it, but Casper won't start with that
[08:42] <turbolover> xtknight yes, at one time, and it fubared my X
[08:42] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, hold on....
[08:42] <opopanax> pppconfig should work for you
[08:42] <sivik> my synaptic says there are packages broken, how do i fix it
[08:42] <xtknight> turbolover, did you disable "Composite" ?
[08:42] <turbolover> xtknight couldnt even reconfigure, had to install it an dchange xorg to get it up again
[08:42] <turbolover> xtknight eh? where?
[08:43] <xtknight> turbolover,  follow this section:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-d8c6fd05bce340dfc3ad483abf0e18997868540b-2
[08:43] <comthre3-Bird> beuno, couldnt find anything on the forum:(
[08:43] <DeltaStorm> it does work, in a way, it dials makes a 20 second "modem sound" and then disconnects
[08:43] <dimeo> Are there any estimates of how many ubuntu users worldwide?
[08:43] <comthre3-Bird> can anyone help me?
[08:43] <dimeo> that anyone knows of?
[08:43] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, right, but what protocol did you tell it to use, chat?
[08:43] <DeltaStorm> yes
[08:43] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, what video card is that you have?
[08:43] <AphoxemaG> wow, KVIrc's gotten alot better...

[08:44] <mirak> can anyone help me to remove a broken package ?
[08:44] <comthre3-Bird> beuno trident cyberbladeXP
[08:44] <xtknight> mirak, sure
[08:44] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, i dunno, bud
[08:44] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, hold
[08:44] <rox> hello ... upon starting scorch3d, it segfaults ... has anybody successfully fixed this problem?
[08:44] <dimeo> mirak::   $sudo apt-get remove  package-name
[08:44] <rjg> I'm having a issue...
[08:44] <dimeo> does that work mirak?
[08:44] <mirak> dimeo: off course it doesn't
[08:44] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, stupid question, but did you try another number?
[08:45] <comthre3-Bird> i get the first menu, but when i try anything else, like installing or anything i get the same horisatal white line, then the screen starts going white
[08:45] <xtknight> !scorch3d
[08:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about scorch3d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:45] <rjg> I have something called a bottom expanded edge panel at the bottom of my screen, skinning with my theme....How can I get rid of it?
[08:45] <wim> xtknight: ok - back in vesa...
[08:45] <xtknight> rox, is it a 3d program that is accelerated?
[08:45] <AphoxemaG> I guess I'll just need to try booting from a different kernel
[08:45] <rox> xtknight: it is, yes
[08:45] <xtknight> rox, do you have 3d accelerated drivers and direct rendering installed properly?
[08:45] <DeltaStorm> no I have only one ISP
[08:45] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, i think i understand....
[08:45] <mirak> dimeo: it says the package is in an incoherent state and that I should reinstall it before remobing, but of course install doesn't work
[08:45] <wim> I also noticed that simply restarting X did crash X....
[08:45] <guerby> yellow, xtknight hmmm error on mount: mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/d9c7090a-5601-4f25-ba3e-9d66880b2114 does not exist
[08:45] <xtknight> wim, ok, follow this section:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-d8c6fd05bce340dfc3ad483abf0e18997868540b-2
[08:45] <rox> xtknight: indeed i do, other 3c accelerated programs function as expected
[08:45] <task0> hello all, how do i change the date format in ubuntu??
[08:45] <opopanax> what you need to know is what's going on with the isp's logon prompt.
[08:45] <xtknight> rox, where did you obtain scorch3d?
[08:46] <guerby> indeed it's missing in  /dev/disk/by-uuid
[08:46] <DeltaStorm> ?
[08:46] <rox> xtknight: ubuntu repository
[08:46] <guerby> how do I create it?
[08:46] <rox> xtknight: synaptic
[08:46] <sivik> Could not upgrade the system!
[08:46] <sivik> Fix broken packages first.
[08:46] <wim> I actually had to reboot properly, which makes me wonder whether it's worth trying to reboot without the BusID...rather than just restarting X
[08:46] <sivik> how do i fix it
[08:46] <xtknight> rox, oh, what's the pkg name?
[08:46] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, open a terminal program, hold on.....
[08:46] <comthre3-Bird> beuno any luck?
[08:46] <xtknight> rox, and are you on 64bit ubuntu or 32?
[08:46] <rox> xtknight: scorched3d and scorched3d-data
[08:46] <AphoxemaG> Should I expect the ATI proprietary drivers to be garbage, or am I configuring something wrong?
[08:46] <guerby> !uuid
[08:46] <rjg> I have something called a bottom expanded edge panel at the bottom of my screen, skinning with my theme....How can I get rid of it?
[08:46] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:46] <rox> xtknight: no, it's a 32 bit intel
[08:46] <DeltaStorm> I didnt fill server IP adress and on ssword and oggin i put password and login
[08:47] <rox> !scorched3d
[08:47] <alecjw> AphoxemaG: you should expect tham to be worse than the nvidia ones

[08:47] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, have you tried it in "safe graphics mode"?
[08:47] <xtknight> rox, type "sudo apt-get install strace"
[08:47] <comthre3-Bird> beuno yeah, same thing
[08:47] <wim> xtknight: I actually had to reboot properly for vesa, which makes me wonder whether it's worth trying to reboot without the BusID...rather than just restarting X
[08:47] <dimeo> MS Vista review:  "installation process can last from 25 minutes to several hours, depending on the computer's hardware, according to PC analysts."
[08:47] <DeltaStorm> sorry I cant im on win now cuz i dont have net on ubuntu, that is what im trying to fix using gnome-ppp
[08:47] <dimeo> holy
[08:47] <rox> xtknight: i did strace it ...it segfaults after closing /etc/passwd
[08:47] <DeltaStorm> but ill write it down?
[08:47] <xtknight> wim, odd.  maybe gdm wasnt stopped.  anyway try those instructions i posted
[08:47] <dimeo> !vista
[08:47] <sivik> dimeo, and that probably has to do with which version your installing
[08:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vista - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:47] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, can you post your /etc/chatscripts/provider and /etc/ppp/peers/provider to #flood?
[08:48] <rox> xtknight: which seems kind of weird, doesn't it?
[08:48] <turbolover> xtknight: um i use dapper drake would it be the exact same?
[08:48] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, try downloading Dapper (6.06)
[08:48] <xtknight> rox, not sure.  mind posting the whole strace log?
[08:48] <opopanax> crap, i guess not.
[08:48] <AphoxemaG> Well, it's good my friend's sending me a 7300 in a few weeks... I know glxgears isn't the best benchmark, but I have an X700 and I'm only getting 200fps at 1650x1080
[08:48] <rox> xtknight: a second
[08:48] <comthre3-Bird> beuno whats that?
[08:48] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, you're in windows...
[08:48] <xtknight> turbolover, oh.  there is a dapper section on that same site
[08:48] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, and try adding "acpi=off" as a boot flag to edgy first
[08:48] <patbam> olly carp ubuntu is teh hawt
[08:48] <mirak> is there a standart way to remove manually any broken packages ?
[08:49] <opopanax> so, DeltaStorm, did you enter your username and password twice?
[08:49] <xtknight> mirak, "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:49] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, download here:  http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#lts
[08:49] <mirak> xtknight: it doesn't always work
[08:49] <DeltaStorm> twice? what do you mean where?
[08:49] <beuno> comthre3-Bird, it's a previous version, more *stable*
[08:49] <xtknight> mirak, sudo dpkg --purge <pkgname>
[08:49] <guerby> hi again, what tool populates /dev/disk/by-uuid? I added a disk and need to add it there
[08:49] <xtknight> guerby, you have to reboot for it to show up in uuid if you have not already.  same for partitions showing up
[08:49] <opopanax> ok, just checking.  there's two sets of options.  one is the login prompt that the isp sends, usually "login:"
[08:49] <dimeo> "In the end, no operating system is impervious to viruses - even Apple's Macintosh, which was targeted by malicious software last year - analysts say."
[08:50] <guerby> xtknight, reboot?
[08:50] <guerby> no other way
[08:50] <dimeo> Has ubuntu got any threats out there?
[08:50] <mirak> xtknight: it doesn't work either
[08:50] <xtknight> guerby, not sure.  not that i know of
[08:50] <comthre3-Bird> beuno ok, ill try that
[08:50] <DeltaStorm> yes i wrote login: and password: for the isp
[08:50] <xtknight> mirak, dont understand.  what's the issue exactly?
[08:50] <Cyrus25801> hey guys. what is a good program for writing dvd's
[08:50] <midgetg0at> anyone familiar with getting the thumb button of a mouse to work?
[08:50] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, the other, of course, is the actual uname and password
[08:50] <dimeo> cyrus... gnomebaker
[08:50] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, try leaving it as "ogin:" and "ssword:"
[08:50] <midgetg0at> er...not sure if my msg got missed i just got cut off by a flood of msgs...forgive the repost: anyone familiar with getting the thumb button of a mouse to work?
[08:50] <opopanax> that way if the first couple chars are dropped, you won't miss out.
[08:50] <DeltaStorm> ok, ill try!
[08:50] <DeltaStorm> Thank you for you help  <opopanax>! :)
[08:51] <Borzen__> When i go to install ubuntu on a fat 32 partiton it wont install help
[08:51] <opopanax> DeltaStorm, hope it works.  i hate ppp
[08:51] <Cyrus25801> dimeo: thanx will try that
[08:51] <beobal> can anybody point me at a repos where i can get kernel 2.6.19 please?
[08:51] <sivik> Borzen__, its because fat 32 is not a valid linux partition for installing
[08:51] <thug> how do i give read write permission do a mounted disk ext3 partition for all users ?
[08:51] <sivik> beobal, as far as i know, only the feisty
[08:51] <midgetg0at> I've got: Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 7 6" and Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" in xorg...still not working. ideas?
[08:51] <Cyrus25801> dimeo: can i write data dvd's as well as video dvd's with that program
[08:51] <Borzen__> Ok
[08:51] <beobal> thx sivik
[08:52] <Borzen__> if i reformated the partition in widows will can i use that in ubuntu
[08:52] <sivik> beobal, yw
[08:52] <Borzen__> and dual boot
[08:52] <opopanax> so, what's up with ctrl-alt-+/- for changing the video mode, anyone know what's up with that in edgy?
[08:52] <sivik> Borzen__, yes, ubuntu will see the windows parition not matter what partition type you use for ubuntu, you also must have a swap parition for linux to work
[08:53] <Borzen__> ok will it dual boot with 2 HDD though?
[08:53] <bauer77> yes Borzen
[08:53] <mirak> xtknight: the paquet won't install or remove itself properly
[08:53] <sivik> Borzen__, yes
[08:53] <xtknight> beobal, you would have to compile it.  i dont think it's in any reops yet
[08:53] <xtknight> mirak, which pacage?
[08:53] <Borzen__> thanks bie
[08:53] <mirak> xtknight: python-freevo
[08:53] <xtknight> mirak, could you post the output of "sudo dpkg --purge python-freevo"
[08:53] <beuno> Borzen__, it will triple boot with 100 hds if you wish, Linux way of handling partitions and disks is very loose
[08:53] <GMWeezel> Is there a way to extract RAR archives in Linux?
[08:54] <xtknight> GMWeezel, "sudo apt-get install unrar"
[08:54] <sivik> GMWeezel, yes
[08:54] <task0> how do i install grub on a floppy?
[08:54] <GMWeezel> thanks
[08:54] <fabiim> i'm trying to mount a fat32 disk , but it's being mounted in read-only everytime . I tried -w , but still doesn't work . What's wrong?
[08:54] <shatrat> GMWeezel, theres an "unrar" utility. Not sure if its in the repos or universe or what, I use it all the time though
[08:54] <xtknight> task0, sudo grub-install /dev/fd0  as far as i know.
[08:54] <Flannel> thug: you need to change the umask or maybe change ro to rw, in your fstab (or in your mount command)
[08:54] <mirak> xtknight: dpkg crash
[08:55] <xtknight> mirak, exact error please?
[08:55] <task0> xtknight: will try
[08:55] <turbolover> okay running
[08:55] <thug> Flannel defaults,errors=remount-rw 0       0 ?
[08:55] <Telroth|Away|Dep> anyone available to help with boot/grub/kernel problems ?
[08:55] <xtknight> thug, you just had it remount RW in the case of errors.  you need it to mount RW to start with.
[08:55] <task0> xtknight: i get /dev/fd0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[08:55] <xtknight> thug, i would change to remount-ro  and then work from there
[08:55] <turbolover> i think its funny that in the instructions for the dapper section it tells you to use a command that is edgy specific then afterwards tells you if you are using dapper drake to change it, reaosn its funny is because it is supposed to be a dapper section
[08:56] <thug> xtknight so defaults,errors=remount-rw 0       0  isnt right ?
[08:56] <shatrat> turbolover, tell the maintainer :)
[08:56] <xtknight> thug, change to remount-ro.
[08:56] <enix> if a bios doesnt have the ability to boot from usb then there is no way to enable it is there?
[08:56] <thug> it just was like that
[08:56] <Flannel> thug: alright, you'll want to add a umask then.  it'll determine the maximum permissions you can have
[08:56] <thug> Flannel how will i do that ?
[08:56] <enix> i know this isnt very ubuntu specfic
[08:56] <shatrat> enix, Not that I've ever heard up.  You might check for bios firmware updates with the feature
[08:57] <xtknight> enix, if you boot a kernel that supports usb booting, maybe.  for example boot off a floppy, and that could boot off usb if there were drivers
[08:57] <xtknight> task0, hmm.
[08:57] <shatrat> Maybe grub could boot off a USB?
[08:57] <turbolover> Errors were encountered while processing:
[08:57] <turbolover>  fglrx-control_8.28.8-1_i386.deb
[08:57] <rox> xtknight: here's the strace http://rafb.net/p/vw6DAM30.html
[08:57] <enix> i am weary about firmware upgrades, i dont wanna brick my comp
[08:57] <enix> thanks for the suggestions
[08:58] <opopanax> shatrat, grub will boot off usb, if your mobo supports it.
[08:58] <rox> xtknight: it seems to open /etc/passwd, seek it, mmap, munmap, and finally segfault on close
[08:58] <xtknight> rox, odd.  not sure i can be of much help there.  maybe you could try ltrace
[08:58] <hofmann> Hello, @ll from Hannover,Germany
[08:59] <Ki-Chi-Mi> I have a wirelesscard i got it installed but now it connects to my wireless network then will disconnect and refuse to reconnect, i dont know what the make is but the model number is PANWL2203 and it has a ZyDAS chipset
[08:59] <Telroth|Away|Dep> can anyone help me boot up my computer? I removed a drive from my computer and while it didn't have any files on it, it messed up the drive numbers that grub was using. I have a grub stage 1 floppy, but the kernel refuses to boot.
[08:59] <hofmann> Do you use a MAC Adressfilter in your Accespoint?
[08:59] <Flannel> thug: umask=[whatever]   (umasks are the masks taken for the perms, so like 000 would be 777 perms, 022 is default
[09:00] <guerby> xtknight, yellow FYI the needed command is "sudo udevtrigger", it populates various thing including /dev/disk/by-uuid
[09:00] <Flannel> thug: er, not default, but preferred
[09:00] <task0> xtknight: what can i do?
[09:00] <xtknight> guerby, thanks!
[09:00] <guerby> xtknight, :)
[09:00] <Flannel> thug: man mount for more information
[09:00] <rox> xtknight: it fails in GetUserName ... is this a gtk call?
[09:00] <xtknight> task0, really no idea.  google it i guess.  i just copied over a HD mbr to make my floppy but i had a HD mbr to spare
[09:01] <xtknight> rox, eek.  im only famiilar with windows api
[09:01] <Telroth|Away|Dep> opopanax, do you have a few minutes to help me get my computer booting?
[09:01] <rox> xtknight: indeed GetUserName seems to be a windows api function ... i thought it might also be in gtk or sdl or in something that is used in scorched3d
[09:02] <opopanax> Telroth|Away|Dep, maybe
[09:02] <opopanax> what's happening?
[09:02] <turbolover> argh
[09:02] <turbolover> still using mesa after those instructions
[09:02] <eodchop> Has anyone been able to get their broadcom wirless card working under ubuntu?
[09:02] <helpz0r> i'm trying to install ubuntu from the live cd, but whenever i press next after choosing my keyboard layout in the wizard the screen goes crazy with diagnol lines and i can't do anything exept restart X.  Is there a way to install it from the CLI ?
[09:02] <aleka> HOw can I connect to another linux box that is on the same router as my ubuntu box? (ssh)
[09:02] <rox> no, i got it ... it's really stupid
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> aleka: ssh username@its.lan.ip.address
[09:03] <Telroth|Away|Dep> opopanax, I recently removed a drive (hd1,0) from my computer. grub was installed to hd(2,0). I didn't realize this because the computer didn't have any ram in it so it wasn't booting anyways.
[09:03] <rox> xtknight: i'll paste two consecutive lines of ltrace
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> aleka: It needs to have opensss-server installed.

[09:04] <xtknight> turbolover, sorry.  im not sure what the issue is with the ati drivers
[09:04] <aleka> tonyyarusso: got it.. I had to find out what the local ip was
[09:04] <Telroth|Away|Dep> opopanax, I have a grub stage 1 floppy, which i can use to boot windows on (hd0,0), but when i attempt to boot my kernel on (hd1,0) (formerly (hd2,0)), it hangs
[09:04] <helpz0r> ;[
[09:04] <xtknight> rox, guess it's time to post on launchpad
[09:04] <eodchop> Has anyone been able to get a broamcom wireless card working in ubuntu?
[09:04] <rox> xtknight: it frees a pointer just beofre it passes it to a GetUserName call ...
[09:04] <tonyyarusso> aleka: If you have physical access to the box, 'ifconfig', otherwise check the router's admin interface
[09:04] <rox> xtknight: launchpad?=
[09:04] <variant> eodchop: we all heard you the first time
[09:04] <Telroth|Away|Dep> opopanax, udev is installed so it took me a while to track down my UUID for the drive to allow the kernel to find the root partition, but now instead of panicing it just hangs
[09:04] <xtknight> !launchpad | rox
[09:04] <ubotu> rox: launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/

[09:05] <Danielss89> ive just tryied to install ubuntu 6.10 but i got a "no rootfilesystem choosen" even though i have choosed "/"
[09:05] <opopanax> Telroth|Away|Dep, can you at least mount the partition under a livecd or something?  you'll have to most likely change the references in /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst to reference the new drive instead of the old.
[09:06] <helpz0r> i can't even install it, the installer dies on me :(
[09:06] <comthre3-Bird> still same white line

[09:07] <variant> aleka: you don't need to ssh first.. scp is like this: scp user@host:/path/to/file user@2ndhost:/path/to/file
[09:07] <opopanax> Telroth, any luck?
[09:07] <variant> comthre3-Bird: at the boot menu press "c
[09:07] <variant> "
[09:08] <thefenixgreen> gracias
[09:08] <tonyyarusso> aleka: scp goes either way with an ssh session on it's own, so you don't need to ssh in first, but if you're logged in that way you can send the other direction too
[09:08] <bootleg> since ubuntu has lots of problems with ati cards should i just not use ubuntu?
[09:08] <comthre3-Bird> variant thanx, do u know how to make ubuntu run with a cyberbladexp graphics card?
[09:08] <tonyyarusso> bootleg: I have an ATI card on Ubuntu.  3D acceleration is sketchy, but for normal use it's fine.
[09:08] <wim> bootleg - you'll get over the ATI hurdle...
[09:08] <variant> tonyyarusso: i shtat nvidia or ati or some other manufacturer?
[09:08] <opopanax> Telroth, when I say /boot/grub/, I'm referring to the grub files on the drive you're trying to boot from
[09:09] <Telroth> i know
[09:09] <opopanax> okie, cool.
[09:09] <tonyyarusso> variant: Hmm?  Mine is an ATI Radeon Mobility X300
[09:09] <bootleg> well like, first it takes a while to jut get it to work
[09:09] <Telroth> i'm loading the livecd
[09:09] <bootleg> then i will have a crippled system
[09:09] <Telroth> i was hoping a grub floppy woould be enough to load the system
[09:09] <bootleg> so should i just stick with windows
[09:09] <variant> comthre3-Bird: is htat nvidia or ati or some other?
[09:09] <variant> tonyyarusso: sorry wrong nick'
[09:10] <comthre3-Bird> variant its trident
[09:10] <opopanax> Telroth, grub still has to know where to look for its config files.
[09:10] <variant> comthre3-Bird: and it wont boot?
[09:10] <Danielss89> variant i tryied that, or i tryied on a ntfs system
[09:10] <variant> Danielss89: you can't install to ntfs
[09:10] <variant> Danielss89: you have to format a partition with a native fs.. ext2/3 or reiserfs
[09:10] <opopanax> hahahaha, why would you want to install to ntfs
[09:10] <comthre3-Bird> variant no, i get a white vertical line onto, even when i try safe graphics boot, then the screen turns white slowly, its a laptop
[09:11] <variant> opopanax: because he doesn't konw you cant
[09:11] <Telroth> opopanax, even when i use "root (hd1,0)", "kernel /vmlinuz <kernel options>", "initrd /initrd.img", "boot" ?
[09:11] <opopanax> variant, sorry didn't mean to offend
[09:11] <Danielss89> okey,
[09:11] <Danielss89> variant ill try
[09:11] <section31> is there a drive partitioner in ubuntu?  I want to my modify a few of my partitions on there
[09:11] <variant> opopanax: you didnt :)
[09:12] <Telroth> section31, qtparted or gparted
[09:12] <thug> whats the command to set drwxr--r-- for a directory ?
[09:12] <Hozer> question:  how can i use apt-get to reinstall files from a package which were deleted?
[09:12] <Hozer> Doesn't seem to do this...
[09:12] <aleka> variant: cp user@host:/path/to/file user@2ndhost:/path/to/file is asking me for a password.. not sure if it's for source pw or destinatio pw
[09:12] <Ki-Chi-Mi> thug: chmod
[09:12] <opopanax> Telroth, good point
[09:12] <section31> Telroth,is that a command line utility
[09:12] <Hozer> thug, "chmod 744 $directory"
[09:12] <comthre3-Bird> variant i looked online and everything, couldt a solution
[09:12] <variant> section31: gparted is what your looking for.. make sure you have all the filesystem tools installed for the filesystems you want to modify might show as "unsupported" when really they are
[09:12] <kritzstapf> hi, my ubuntu no longer automounts attached usb-disk like my ipod and an usbstick, whats wrong here?
[09:12] <opopanax> Telroth, do you have a separate boot partition?
[09:13] <PingunZ> Hey, I can't open a .psd file in gimp. I created the psd in photoshop cs2. and I rasterised the text layers .. but still not working
[09:13] <variant> comthre3-Bird: I have seen that on a friends lappy before.. he fixed it but I wasn't there when he did.. dunno what he did
[09:13] <task0> can someone willing to help a newbie pm me...
[09:13] <aleka> tonyyarusso: I did try doing <</tmp/log mymachine@192.168.1.152:/tmp/log1
[09:13] <aleka> nothing happens.. it just hangs
[09:13] <comthre3-Bird> variant, ooh, its ok,
[09:14] <thug> Hozer that will give rw permission to everyone .. i only want read write permission to one user thats all
[09:14] <PingunZ> !psd
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about psd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <Telroth> opopanax, i do not have a separate boot partition
[09:14] <tonyyarusso> aleka: Did you actually have that << in there?
[09:15] <aleka> no
[09:15] <hbaigu> PingunZ, see #gimp
[09:15] <PingunZ> hbaigu, tried
[09:15] <Telroth> opopanax, grub was complaining that it couldn't find it's config files when i don't boot off of a floppy (the harddrive has changed positions)
[09:16] <DeltaStorm> Does anyone know how to install/set up wvdial i tried sudo wvdial but i get an message could not find folder /dev/mod...
[09:16] <HymnToLife> you have to reinstall  GRUB then
[09:16] <Telroth> opopanax, i think what I need is to reinstall stage 1 to my mbr
[09:16] <HymnToLife> to match the new partition layout
[09:16] <Telroth> i can't boot the system
[09:16] <Telroth> just a livecd
[09:16] <HymnToLife> !modem | DeltaStorm
[09:16] <ubotu> DeltaStorm: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[09:16] <Telroth> how would i go about reinstalling grub from a livecd?
[09:16] <HymnToLife> Telroth, a Live CD is enough
[09:16] <HymnToLife> !grub | Telroth
[09:16] <ubotu> Telroth: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:17] <variant> DeltaStorm: run sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

[09:17] <DeltaStorm> Thank you variant!
[09:17] <Telroth> ty HymnToLife, i'll take a look at that
[09:17] <opopanax> deltastorm is back!
[09:17] <variant> DeltaStorm: remember to set up the security files
[09:17] <opopanax> no joy?  i was going to ask you if you'd tried wvdial
[09:17] <mediator> Can anyone tell me the difference between creating a blog and making a new entry?
[09:17] <variant> DeltaStorm: it's so long since i used it..
[09:18] <DeltaStorm> ??
[09:18] <DeltaStorm> i tired everything with pppconfig it doesnt work
[09:18] <variant> DeltaStorm: ah, /etc/secrets/chap-passwords or pap-passwords (This is from very old memories though)
[09:18] <aleka> selam@selam:~$ scp /tmp/log habtamu@192.168.1.152:/tmp/log1
[09:18] <mediator> whats the difference between creating bog and making new entry?
[09:18] <aleka> it is still hanging doing nothjing
[09:19] <variant> DeltaStorm: thats /etc/chap-secrets
[09:19] <variant> DeltaStorm: or /etc/pap-secrets
[09:19] <variant> DeltaStorm: it depends if your isp uses pap or chap
[09:19] <aleka> tonyyarusso: is there a GUI scp client for ubuntu like winscp?
[09:19] <Loevborg> Has anyone else noticed that feisty is considerably less responsive, at least when using compiz?
[09:20] <variant> DeltaStorm: I beleive most non uk ones use pap but i could be wrong..
[09:20] <tonyyarusso> aleka: Places > Connect to server
[09:20] <variant> Loevborg: I have noticed the opposite.. anyway, feisty talk in #ubuntu+1
[09:20] <DeltaStorm> Thank you very much!  This really is a great community! :)
[09:20] <variant> DeltaStorm: yw
[09:20] <variant> DeltaStorm: most of the time it is :)
[09:21] <variant> aleka: what an odd cocept :P
[09:21] <opopanax> hey, Telroth, have you tried installing grub to hd(1)?
[09:21] <arno`> sup
[09:21] <aleka> tonyyarusso: the default protocol is public ftp, and I don't have an ftpd running on the other machine.. can I use ssh as the protocol?

[09:23] <GionnyBoss> I use to keep my computer always switch on, I have setted power management that turns off the screen after 10 mins. Sometimes, I can't get my computer back to work moving mouse or trying to press keyboard keys. The monitor receives no output, and the only thing I can do is turn off my computer and start it again. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you know how can I resolve it? Do you know if this is a known bug? Please, help
[09:23] <GionnyBoss> me. Thanks
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> aleka: Okay, now look in Places again.  There should be an entry for the IP.  Click that, and you'll get a prompt for password, at which point you'll get connected and a share window will open.
[09:25] <variant> later all
[09:25] <aleka> got it.. :)
[09:25] <rav> hello all... I need help with nvidia drivers.
[09:26] <rav> If I change the driver name to nvidia in xorg.conf and restart X, it will not show me a desktop... my monitor goes to sleep.
[09:26] <rav> so i have to continue to use "nv" as the driver
[09:26] <comthre3-Bird> this dude has the same prob as i do, in the forum Please can you help. I have an HP Pavilion xh575 laptop and am unable to get the live CD to load. All I get is a smokey screen.
[09:26] <aleka> tonyyarusso: Can I ask you another question.. something I have googled, asked about and haven't found an answer for?
[09:26] <quadriko> smokey?
[09:27] <tonyyarusso> aleka: You can sure try!
[09:27] <comthre3-Bird> yeah, a white line on top, then the screen starts getting white,,
[09:27] <rav> the nvidia module is loaded... anyone know why this is happening?
[09:27] <comthre3-Bird> quadriko its kinda creepy
[09:27] <quadriko> scarry
[09:27] <quadriko> do you have atleast 192 mb of ram?
[09:27] <comthre3-Bird> quadriko 512
[09:28] <quadriko> 32 or 64 bit processor?
[09:28] <comthre3-Bird> 32
[09:28] <quadriko> did you make sure to get the 32bit distro?
[09:28] <comthre3-Bird> AMD Athlon 4 1.1 ghz
[09:28] <quadriko> burned or pressed cd?
[09:28] <comthre3-Bird> burned the cd, checked it, without any errors,,
[09:28] <mindstate> trying to run this game daimonin, keep getting a /dev/fb0 error
[09:29] <quadriko> hmm sorry i'm outta ideas
[09:29] <aleka> I am running ubuntu edgy,.. haven't had grahical problems (card:VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[09:29] <aleka> ).. but since about 3 weeks ago.. when I play movies, {formats like .jpeg,wmv,.mov, dvd) the screen is too bright and I can not see anything. I have tried players like mplayer,totem,xine.. they all play video very bright now and I don know why
[09:29] <comthre3-Bird> i know, i had the same problem with another linux distro, but i forgot what flags i used to make it work,,
[09:29] <aleka> my desktop is fine and viewing pictures is ok.. it is when I try ti play clips that it is too bright withiin the player window
[09:30] <gaspipe1> sup people
[09:30] <comthre3-Bird> to configure the xorg, i press c at the startup screen then xorg -configure?
[09:30] <tonyyarusso> aleka: That is very weird indeed.  Have your searches already included the forums?
[09:31] <gaspipe1> is there an easy way to see what hardware you have?... i would like to know what video card i have... if it's an nvidia
[09:31] <naphelge> i just installed xubuntu & all looks ok except it never prompted me to set root's password & now i can't login as root... any ideas what i might have messed up or forgot?
[09:31] <Telroth> aleka
[09:31] <Telroth> i think this is having to do with hardware video overlays
[09:31] <Telroth> i haven't had the same problem with linux
[09:31] <gaspipe1> !hardware
[09:31] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:32] <aleka> tonyyarusso: I was searching for my video card and linux issues, videocard and brightness isuues on google.. and I couldn't find anything relevant
[09:32] <Telroth> but in windows, i accidentally turned up the gamma while in 3d mode and didn't turn it back down. All my videos that played with hardware overlays (winamp, etc) were super-bright
[09:32] <shrndegruv> folks how do I reinstall some packages?
[09:32] <shrndegruv> sudo apt-get install mypackage
[09:32] <Telroth> apt-get install <package> --reinstall
[09:32] <shrndegruv> tells me its already installed
[09:32] <shrndegruv> i want to reinstall
[09:32] <aleka> Telroth: I haven't had a problem like this while using ubuntu for the past 4 months.. haven't changed a thing in my hardware and now I have this problem
[09:33] <tonyyarusso> aleka: I'd suggest trying ubuntuforums.org, and if that doesn't work, the mailing list (ubuntu-users, see lists.ubuntu.com).  You'll probably have to find someone with the same card :(
[09:33] <Giant_sea_turtle> can sombody look at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347618 please.
[09:33] <shrndegruv> thanx tel
[09:33] <shrndegruv> that doesnt seem to be in the apt-get man page
[09:34] <Ciaus> in synaptic manager it says i have a package installed( wpasupplicant) but i can t figure out how to configure the wpa on my wireless laptop
[09:34] <shrndegruv> now will that reinstall all deps?
[09:34] <Ciaus> help
[09:34] <shrndegruv> oh it is in the man page
[09:34] <shrndegruv> am dumb
[09:34] <shrndegruv> so will it reinstall all the dependencies?
[09:34] <kelsin> Ciaus: might want to look into the network-manager-gnome package, it helps with wpasupplicant config, I don't have experience using it with wpa (only open and wep encryption)
[09:35] <Ciaus> k
[09:35] <variant> naphelge: ubuntu doesn't use the root password
[09:35] <EnsignRedshirt> What software would I use if I want to login into one computer from another via the serial ports (using a "null-modem" RS232 cable)?
[09:35] <variant> naphelge: use sudo -i to become root instead (enter your users passwrod)
[09:35] <gaspipe1> i guess system/administration/devise manager would work....lol
[09:35] <kelsin> Ciaus: but it provides a mac-like gnome-panel applet that auto connects to wired, or wireless ports and saves your settings in the gnome-keyring
[09:36] <variant> EnsignRedshirt: there is a gnome app that does that.. i forget it's name though
[09:36] <estudiante> toctoc
[09:36] <variant> EnsignRedshirt: gtkterm it's called
[09:36] <shasan> howdy, i'm getting an error 17 (unable to mount partition) from grub when i try to boot into my ubuntu partition. any ideas?
[09:36] <Giant_sea_turtle> how do source modify stated here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347618
[09:36] <variant> EnsignRedshirt: simmilar to hyperterminal on windows but much better design
[09:37] <EnsignRedshirt> variant: I'll take a look.  One problem is that one of the computers is a very old laptop running an old version of linux.
[09:37] <variant> EnsignRedshirt: ersion of linux. [21:49]  [variant(+ei) (zZzZ
[09:37] <variant> EnsignRedshirt: thats the client..
[09:37] <Senesence> Is there any way that I can login as a different user through OpenSSH that comes standard on Ubuntu, without creating a new account?
[09:38] <shasan> any thoughts on the above mentioned error from grub?
[09:38] <Pirate-king> anybody got ippoder here?
[09:38] <kitche> Senesence: Ubuntu needs to have that username that you want to connect as
[09:39] <Senesence> kitche: You mean there is no way for me to specify "use this user name to log in" ?
[09:39] <Simba_>   
[09:39] <Ciaus> kelsin, I selected and installed the package, how do i access it
[09:39] <beuno> Senesence, yes,    ssh host -l username
[09:40] <kitche> Senesence: ssh <user>@<host>
[09:40] <EnsignRedshirt> variant: Do you know if I have to do anything on the server end to make it work?
[09:40] <kitche> Senesence: the machine your connecting to needs that user on it though
[09:41] <kitche> beuno: it's just easier to do <user>@<host>
[09:41] <Senesence> beuno: Thanks that did the trick.

[09:43] <ineluki12> nb, you
[09:43] <shatrat> !anyone
[09:43] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:43] <Misho2> ineluk12 there's no beer left
[09:43] <shasan> i'm getting an error 17 (unable to mount partition) from grub when i try to boot into my ubuntu partition. any ideas?

[09:44] <ineluki12> shasan, how is your root partition specified in menu.lst
[09:44] <shasan> ineluki12, checking
[09:45] <comp1le> whats the name for the package with all the compile tools ?
[09:45] <kelsin> Ciaus: you can run "nm-applet &" in a terminal for now, it should start next time you start Gnome also
[09:45] <ineluki12> compile: build-essential
[09:45] <comp1le> thanks ineluki12
[09:45] <kelsin> Ciaus: anything past that lookup Network-Manager in the forums and wiki, there are how-tos

[09:46] <Chest> is there a plugin for beryl that imitates the Mac OSX style application bar?
[09:46] <ineluki12> shasan: are you looking in /boot/grub
[09:47] <shrndegruv> anyone use conky?
[09:47] <shasan> ineluki, there is no /grub under /boot
[09:48] <devnore> jikes... that is a lot of ppl... :)
[09:48] <ineluki12> that's bad
[09:48] <section31> how do i mount another partition in ubuntu
[09:48] <fbc> how can I get ubuntu to recognize my keyboard?? It's not USB, just regular PS\2. I've already tried other keyboards.
[09:48] <ineluki12> what do you get when you "ls /boot"?
[09:49] <devnore> fbc: PS/2 keyboards should be recogniced by the kernel
[09:49] <shasan> ineluki: abi-2.6.17-10-generic     System.map-2.6.17-10-generic
[09:49] <shasan> config-2.6.17-10-generic  vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic
[09:49] <shasan> memtest86+.bin
[09:49] <ineluki12> someone please tell me why I have two wireless interfaces (ath0, wifi0). I realize it's b/c of my atheros chipset and madwifi driver, but I can't find the 'why'; been googling for a while, and madwifi.org isn't responding
[09:49] <kitche> fbc: does your keyboard work in the shell just not in X?
[09:49] <fbc> devnore:  it doesn't
[09:50] <fbc> kitche:  I'm trying to install ubuntu, but my keyboard stops working after ubuntu boots... I can press DEL and get into setup during boot, and do other stuff, but as soon as I boot the ubuntu 6.10 CD it stops working..
[09:50] <ineluki12> shasan, my guess is that either your bootloader is missing or you installed it on another partition
[09:51] <devnore> fbc: sounds like a bios issue
[09:51] <fbc> devnore:  Yep, but how do I get around it_
[09:51] <ineluki12> shasan: did the problem occur recently, or is this a new install
[09:51] <shasan> ineluki, this is a new install onto an external usb hard drive
[09:51] <devnore> fbc: found anything in bios that points to keyboard USB being on?
[09:52] <devnore> fbc: if it is, disable it and try again
[09:52] <fbc> devnore:  Yep, but I disabled it. Just in case, but it still won't recognize the keyboard.
[09:52] <devnore> fbc: and it recognices other keyboards?
[09:53] <vleon>  i have a question, i build a newer pack of wormux than the pack availble in the apt-get, is there a way to upload it somewhere, or something, so that newbs like me could download and update the game without having to build it?
[09:53] <ineluki12> hm, I'm not too familiar with usb setups
[09:53] <kitche> vleon: just upload it to a webspace
[09:53] <konam> someone knows an antivirus on linux that scan for virus in an windows partition?
[09:53] <devnore> vleon: add it to a webbsite and refer noobs to it
[09:53] <fbc> devnore:  Nope, no other keyboards are recognized, I don't have a USB keyboard to test with either..
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> !noob | devnore
[09:54] <ubotu> devnore: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[09:54] <vleon> yeah i could do that
[09:54] <devnore> fbc: sounds like the ps/2 is damaged
[09:54] <fbc> devnore:  Why does it work for configuring the bios and whatnot.
[09:55] <shasan> ineluki, i had it working earlier, but the problem was that i couldn't boot into my windows partition unless my usb drive was plugged in (problem since i'm on a laptop). grub would give me an error 21 if i installed it on the mbr of my internal drive, so i've tried to install it on the ubuntu partition of my external
[09:55] <vleon> anyway cant it be somehow donated as an official replacment, i mean how does things work in ubuntu?, like there are some apps that are always updated and some are not
[09:55] <angus_> Can anyone help with dual monitors using xinerama? (editing the xorg.conf file)
[09:56] <kitche> vleon: packages versions are frozen only updates gets added to the packages for a version that is in a release
[09:56] <Flannel> vleon: each package in ubuntu is version frozen each release.  Only getting bugfixes and security updates for the whole lifetime of the release.  This is why, for instance, Dapper will never have FF2
[09:56] <fbc> Does anyone know what a normal ps/2 keyboard would work fine except with ubuntu?
[09:56] <devnore> fbc: that's what's puzzeling me... :S
[09:57] <kitche> fbc: I would try the alternate cd just to make sure
[09:57] <Flannel> fbc: You sure it's in the keyboard port, and not the mouse port?
[09:57] <ineluki12> shasan, are you trying to boot from the external or internal?
[09:57] <vleon> im confused, do you want to tell me that people that use add/remove to install their software are doomed to always have outdated software enless amore dated one will be included in the next ubuntu release?
[09:57] <fbc> Flannel:  Yup..
[09:58] <shasan> ineluki, external
[09:58] <fbc> Thanks guys... I'll try diabling things in the BIOS to see what works...
[09:58] <Flannel> vleon: Updated ones are always included in new releases.  And yes, that's how the repositories work, regardless of Add/remove or apt-get or Synaptic, or whatever
[09:58] <EnsignRedshirt> fbc: This is probably pointless, but I might try unplugging all other devices, just to test.
[09:58] <gaspipe1> how can I update my video drivers?
[09:58] <angus_> Has anyone got dual monitors working in xinerama? (I have tried all sorts of tutorials, but I cannot get it to work).
[09:58] <devnore> fbc: try reseting the bios to default settings
[09:58] <kitche> gaspipe1: which video card?
[09:58] <Flannel> !xinerama | angus_, tried this one?
[09:58] <ubotu> angus_, tried this one?: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[09:59] <sdac_1x> anyone know how to mount a usb flash drive in a terminal ?
[09:59] <gaspipe1> kitche: nvidia nv34 Geforce FX5200
[09:59] <aleka> not to flame anyone or anything.. I am on ubuntu now.. and have a seocnd pc with debian.. can anyone tell me of a repository that contains ntfs-3g?
[09:59] <sdac_1x> mount /dev/sdb and sda would not work
[09:59] <ineluki12> shasan: so, you have windows insalled on your internal drive, and ubuntu installed on your external? you tried to install grub on the internal, but it errorred so you installed it on the external? do I have this right?
[10:00] <devnore> sdac_1x: mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/point
[10:00] <vleon> Flannel: im sorry but isnt that stupid? lots of apps are very important like wine, every update can make a difference..... why is it like that?
[10:00] <kitche> gaspipe1: compile the drivers yourself only way really there is a repo also not sure if it's upto date or not
[10:00] <shasan> ineluki, correct
[10:00] <kitche> !nvidia9|gaspipe1

[10:00] <Pirate-king> is there anybody who can help me get twit diggnation podcasts in ipodder
[10:00] <shmeelAway> if i set up a vdmk file and set aside 5 GB of space on it, then didn't set up a virtual machine, what will that file do? can I still use those 5 GB or do i need to delete the fire?
[10:00] <sdac_1x> devnore:  is it always sda ?  because i have my partitions mounted on sda1 sda2 and so on
[10:00] <devnore> sdac_1x: OKOK
[10:01] <devnore> ops... caps
[10:01] <gaspipe1> kitche: ok thanx for the help
[10:01] <Flannel> vleon: no it's not stupid.  It makes it so that we can make sure that the versions that are in the repositories all work, and with each other.  People who fix stuff don't have a moving target.
[10:01] <devnore> sdac_1x: can differ on what port you use... (i think)
[10:01] <ineluki12> shasan: either os boots when the external is connected, but you're having trouble booting to windows when the external isn't connected? is this the issue?
[10:01] <xerophyte> how can i configure the logrotate to rotate every 3 days ??
[10:01] <kitche> shmeelAway: depends how you made the file you can eiher give the file full space or have it expand when needed when you create the virtual machine
[10:01] <devnore> sdac_1x: try a dmesg when u have connected the USB-stick
[10:02] <devnore> and se what device is is
[10:02] <shmeelAway> i used
[10:02] <vleon> Flannel ok i see there are pros and cones
[10:02] <shasan> ineluki, actually i resolved that one ;) the issue now is that ubuntu will not boot period when the drive is connected (and obviously when it is not)
[10:02] <shmeelAway>  qemu-img create -f vmdk WindowsXPPro.vmdk
[10:02] <ineluki12> anyone: for what purpose does the driver for the atheros chipeset wireless cards create two interfaces (ath0 & wifi0). Really having trouble finding the answer to this...
[10:02] <sdac_1x> just "dmesg" terminal
[10:02] <shmeelAway> that command to set it up
[10:03] <kitche> shmeelAway: hmm that might make it use full space never used qemu to make vmdk's
[10:03] <Navigator> @@
[10:03] <shmeelAway> any clue how to delete it then?
[10:03] <shmeelAway> -.-
[10:03] <sdac_1x> where can i find guides on backing up xubuntu and xfce settings.  so you don't have to do all the work again after doing re-installs
[10:03] <kitche> shmeelAway: just delete it as normal I tend to make vmdk by hand :)
[10:04] <vleon> Flannel but why not make an option wich allowes users to update software they want but with the warning that it may make the system fail or something?
[10:04] <shmeelAway> hm
[10:04] <shmeelAway> k
[10:04] <ineluki12> shasan: which drive is your system booting from?
[10:04] <shmeelAway> so tossing it into the trash bin would do it?
[10:04] <sdac_1x> google search hasn't been very useful on this.  is it trivial to backup linux settings ?
[10:04] <gaspipe1> kitche: i saw the link you sent me... i ran it in termanal... and thats it? it's all done?
[10:04] <kitche> shmeelAway: yeah well that will put it in trash then you have to empty it
[10:04] <BigToe> Where is the default pisg.cfg located in ubuntu?
[10:04] <shasan> ineluki, it is booting from the internal drive (but i am running on the ubuntu live cd right now)
[10:04] <shmeelAway> kk thx
[10:05] <section31> can i mount a reiser4 partition onto ubuntu..it doesn't work
[10:05] <kitche> gaspipe1: if you added that repo to your source.list you have to sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:05] <ineluki12> shasan: when you boot to the internal, are you getting a grub menu, and then selecting ubuntu?

[10:07] <shasan> ineluki, no, it goes strait into windows. my bios allows me to interrupt startup to pick a different drive to boot into

[10:07] <pr0t0type> hi i got probs with synaptic :( I downloaded a .deb file that froze in half installation and now my synaptic doesn't work. Want's to download the .deb and cant do ...
[10:07] <HymnToLife> and the other way around wouldn't work, either
[10:07] <kitche> gaspipe1: after you install the nvidia-glx you might have to I do for some reason for the module to work for some reason
[10:07] <gaspipe1> kitche: ok cool.... thanks so much.. hope i didn't break anything ;)
[10:08] <aleka> HymnToLife: I am setting up a debian machine for a friend (ubuntu/Xubuntu wouldn't work because of his old hardware) and i am trying to get mp3 support, w32codecs and things like that.. but have no idea about debian repos or where to get extra repos.. google s not helping so far..

[10:08] <comthre3-Bird> :(
[10:08] <HymnToLife> but youshould ask in #debian

[10:09] <aleka> HymnToLife: I just tried getting ntfs-3g and it didn't have it

[10:09] <HymnToLife> kitche, no, there are no universe and multiverse in Debian !
[10:09] <ineluki12> shasan: if your installations are completely seperate as they appear to be, and you're using your BIOS to switch OSes, then it really just sounds like your bootloader is missing on your external drive; I have no idea why this would happen though
[10:09] <camerong> hey can anyone please help me get fglrx set up? i get an error that the wiki says means i need to disable COMPOSITE but i have it disabled..?
[10:09] <kitche> aleka: 3.1 is way out of date 4.0 (unstable) is more up to date
[10:09] <HymnToLife> wrong again, 4.0 is testing, not unstable
[10:10] <troll> heyyy
[10:10] <aleka> heh.. I am in #debian in irc.debian.org.. no responses.. is this the same room here as well?
[10:10] <shmeelAway> also, when i use the suspend function, my computer can't start again, is that fixable?
[10:10] <HymnToLife> aleka, yes, there is a #debian on freenode too
[10:10] <shasan> ineluki: bootloader being grub?
[10:10] <sivik> shasan, yes
[10:10] <shasan> so i need to reload grub onto my external drive then, correct?
[10:10] <ineluki12> most likely; i don't believe ubuntu supports lilo

[10:11] <devnore> jim73: googled it?
[10:11] <ineluki12> i didn't mean 'supports'; i meant there's not an option at standard installation
[10:12] <jim73> yes, I couldn't find anything helpful from google or the forums
[10:12] <shasan> ok then, so i'm going to go into grub and i guess do setup (hd1,1), right?
[10:12] <Klipsch> hi
[10:13] <Klipsch> is there a way to install ubuntu just like gentoo using ssh remotly?
[10:13] <eggs> anyone arround ?
[10:13] <ineluki12> shasan: if you're booting into the external drive, I believe the first partion on that drive would then be (hd0,0), not (hd1,1)
[10:13] <shmeelAway> also, when i use the suspend function, my computer can't start again, is that fixable?
[10:14] <ineluki12> i believe the number are relative to your booted drive

[10:14] <ubotu> I haven't seen ailean recently
[10:14] <kitche> HymnToLife: hmm odd how testing and unstable is called 4.0 I just checked both of their base packages
[10:14] <shasan> ineluki, ok, i have another partition on that drive though so i think it is hd1... i'll check on that though
[10:14] <Creedence> hi everyone
[10:14] <eodcho1> Anyone know any good usb network adapters that work out of the box with ubuntu?

[10:15] <Creedence> I am having problems getting fglrx to work correctly with an X300 on an IBM T43
[10:15] <ineluki12> alrighty; you might also consider resizing your windows partition so that you can squeeze a boot partition onto your internal drive; might simplify things a little ; might not
[10:16] <shasan> ineluki, i could do that with gparted?
[10:16] <ineluki12> shasan: ya, but be sure to backup first
[10:16] <wim> hi xtknight - still here? ;-)
[10:16] <xtknight> wim, yup
[10:16] <HymnToLife> and run a defrag in Windows
[10:17] <Zeram> hi people
[10:17] <shasan> ineluki, do you think it would be simpler just to delete my existing ubuntu partition and reinstall?
[10:17] <shasan> would that fix anything?
[10:17] <Mazin> What is "scrollkeeper-up"? It's eating all my cpu
[10:17] <Zeram> can you help me with gnome? i am a novice in linux
[10:17] <KrashKing405> can I get some help dualbooting ubuntu with XP?

[10:17] <ubotu> zeram: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:17] <devnore> what is the command to check dma settings on hdd (forgot) :S
[10:18] <wim> xtknight: quick question mate, 3D was working fine, then I went and installed xgl xorg server and beryl...and without even running that now, I don't get 3D rendering anymore...
[10:18] <ineluki12> shasan: if it's a new installation to begin with, it might be easier; if I were you, though, I'd take that internal out before I did it, just to prevent mistakes
[10:18] <xtknight> devnore, sudo hdparm -d /dev/blockdevice
[10:18] <Mazin> KrashKing405: what do you need help with?
[10:18] <ineluki12> that is, if you want to perform the switching from the bios
[10:18] <xtknight> wim, using AIGLX or XGL?
[10:18] <xtknight> wim, you need to use AIGLX for direct rendering.  xgl does not support it
[10:18] <shasan> ineluki, ok, sounds good. off to try that out... thanks for your help
[10:18] <KrashKing405> Mazin: for some reason the boot is stallin
[10:18] <KrashKing405> stalling
[10:18] <ineluki12> np, good luck
[10:18] <Mazin> hmm
[10:19] <wim> xtknight ...xgl doesn't support it on ATI you mean?
[10:19] <kitche> wim: if you have ATI card don't bother with AIGLX
[10:19] <xtknight> wim, nor nvidia.  XGL is an X server replacement.
[10:19] <Mazin> KrashKing405: try using the (recovery) kernel when booting and see what the kernel says
[10:19] <kitche> wim: unless you use the open source driver
[10:19] <eodcho1> anyone know a wireless usb network adapter that will work out of the box?
[10:19] <Zeram> how can i turn off animation in gnome?
[10:19] <xtknight> wim, nvidia has builtin support for compositing . not sure about ati
[10:19] <KrashKing405> have not installed anything yet
[10:19] <wim> kitche - so what do you suggest? XGL?
[10:20] <wim> xtknight - ok, so what do I do now?
[10:20] <kitche> wim: XGL is needed for ATI cards to use beryl or compiz with binary driver that is
[10:20] <xtknight> aiglx cant work with ati?
[10:20] <wim> kitche - that's exactly what I'm after
[10:20] <shatrat> xtknight, its more like ATI wont work with AIGLX
[10:21] <meda> how do I find out the path to a command?  (like  rails.. how do I find out where it is installed?)
[10:21] <Mazin> KrashKing405: maybe try safe graphics mode when booting the live cd?
[10:21] <xtknight> shatrat, i thought aiglx only worked on ati to begin with..now it doesnt work on ati? :P
[10:21] <KrashKing405> tried
[10:21] <shasan> ineluki, actually, one more thing, how do i know what number hard drive /dev/sdb2 corresponds to (i.e., hd1,1 or hd0,2 or??)
[10:21] <aleka> HOw can I kill a process if I have the pid? (using kill or killall)?
[10:21] <shatrat> xtknight, its nvidia that makes the good drivers.
[10:21] <kitche> xtknight: open source drivers it can
[10:21] <xtknight> aleka, sudo kill pid
[10:21] <ineluki12> anyone: for what purpose does the driver for the atheros chipeset wireless cards create two interfaces (ath0 & wifi0). I'm trying to create my own rules in iptables instead of through firestarter, and I'd like to know if there anything special I need to do with the extra fake \interface
[10:21] <wim> ok - but the requirement is to have 3D rendering working first, right?
[10:21] <KrashKing405> dumps me to non gui command promp
[10:21] <Fanskapet> hmm anyone here has got a X700 laptop chipset to work with dri on xorg?
[10:21] <KrashKing405> prompt
[10:21] <shatrat> Zeram, if you cant find the settings you want in the preference tab, you might check gconf-editor and see if you can disable whatever is bothering you.
[10:21] <wim> which I did have...but disappeared after installing XGL and Beryl...
[10:21] <xtknight> so wim's asking if there's any way to enable compositing and have direct rendering / 3d accel at the same time.
[10:21] <xtknight> (with an ATI card)
[10:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Any ideas why/what in Edgy could be resetting the system and hardware clocks to Jan 20th every time the system starts, even though I've disabled the hwclock init scripts?
[10:22] <Mazin> KrashKing405: you could try using the alternate CD for install I think...
[10:22] <xtknight> i didn't think the open source drivers had shader/3d accel support
[10:22] <Zeram> sudo gpedit gconf?
[10:22] <shatrat> Intangir, motherboard battery likely os toast
[10:22] <section31> when i mount a partition to a particular directorya nd then i reboot...it goes away.  Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[10:22] <kitche> xtknight: wim: don't think ati cards like xorg compositing either not sure though
[10:22] <meda> anyone? how do I found out where a programm is installed?
[10:22] <wim> xtknight - I thought 3D rendering needs to be in place before trying to install XGL and Beryl etc...
[10:22] <Mazin> KrashKing405: I had a laptop that refused to boot the live cd until I chose 1024x768 resolution at the boot menu
[10:22] <xtknight> meda, whereis 'program name'
[10:22] <KrashKing405> Mazin: hmmm, got the cd from ShipIt
[10:23] <kitche> xtknight: open source drivers work with aiglx for that stuff at least from the fedora aiglx wiki page
[10:23] <shatrat> meda, try "locate" to find files with a certain word in them, or "which" to find paths to executables
[10:23] <ineluki12> section31: if you want a partition to be there after rebooting, you need to make an entry in /etc/fstab
[10:23] <xtknight> wim, right but xgl takes over and disables direct rendering.  not sure how or why
[10:23] <section31> ineluki12,the few tutorials i've seen said nothing about that :(
[10:23] <meda> xtknight, shatrat.. thanks, but what if I find more than 1 result?
[10:23] <section31> thanks, i'll figure it out
[10:23] <Stormx2> Does anyone here us gnumeric?
[10:23] <wim> OK - xtknight, I see
[10:23] <xtknight> meda, then the binaries exist in multiple places.  is there a specific instance?
[10:24] <Jamh> Zeram, just type gconf-editor into the terminal
[10:24] <ineluki12> section21: then you're reading the wrong tutorials :P
[10:24] <kelsin> meda: dpkg -L <package-name> will list all files of that package
[10:24] <meda> xtknight  a specific instance? what do you mean?
[10:24] <fbc> devnore:  I started diabling crap and the keyboard started to work.. I'm gonna start turning things on again in stages to see where it get hung up...
[10:24] <shatrat> meda, there should only be one result for "which" but theres probably gonna be tons for "locate", "locate string" will find every file with "string" in the path name
[10:24] <meda> shatrat, there are 3 results for " which" ..
[10:24] <xtknight> meda, umm...is there a specific case that you need to know where the program is i mean?
[10:24] <xtknight> meda, which program is returning three locations?
[10:24] <shatrat> meda, keep in mind if youre looking for configs for a program they are probably in your home directory with a . in front of the filename
[10:25] <meda> xtknight.. well, I installed  rails (ruby on rails).. and I need to know the path to set in a code editor
[10:25] <Stormx2> My version of gnumeric only has like 4 functions! Can anyone help?
[10:25] <ineluki12> section31: open up a terminal and enter 'man fstab'; this will explain what you need to do; also, take a look at your current /etc/fstab file, and try to mimmick one of the other, similar entries
[10:25] <xtknight> meda, ok.  im not famiilar with ruby.  you installed a ruby compiler or interpreter i assume and you need to point the code editor to that?
[10:26] <shasan> anyone: what is the relationship between /dev/sdb and hd0,2; how do i find out what the hd number and partition number of a disk is?
[10:26] <meda> xtknight: exactly
[10:26] <xtknight> meda, do you have the name of the ruby interpreter package
[10:26] <meda> xtknight: that's the thing.. it's not a package
[10:26] <xtknight> meda, alright, where did you get it from and in what format?
[10:27] <Zeram> thx a lot... great instrument... studing
[10:27] <xtknight> meda, it is usually in the documentation where the binary is located.  otherwise, binaries are typically located in a "bin" (binary) dir, and most don't have any extension on the filename if they're executable.
[10:27] <kitche> meda: /usr/bin/ruby
[10:27] <devnore> fbc: sweet
[10:27] <xtknight> meda, it should be called something generic like ruby or ruby-interpreter
[10:27] <meda> ah..
[10:27] <Stormx2> bah :(
[10:28] <section31> anyone know how i can disable the pc speaker
[10:28] <kitche> meda: that is jsut for the binary but rails works on it's own with a webserver type of setup
[10:28] <wim> xtknight: surely my normal gnome session shouldn't be affected and should still have 3D rendering enabled....
[10:28] <KrashKing405> section31: pull it from the mobo header? ;)
[10:28] <meda> kitche, yeah that makes sense
[10:28] <meda> thanks
[10:28] <xtknight> wim, not if xgl is starting
[10:28] <meda> and xtknight: thanks as well
[10:28] <xtknight> wim, you just blocked compiz from starting i assume
[10:29] <wim> xtknight: correct, I've just added an Xgl session, as to not screw up my existing gnome one
[10:29] <section31> KrashKing405,i didn't mean disable it completely..just disable the os from using it
[10:29] <section31> it's driving me nuts
[10:29] <xtknight> wim, what is running now?  X or Xgl binary?
[10:29] <xtknight> wim, ps ax | grep X
[10:29] <wim> xtknight: but no 3D rendering again...(running X now)
[10:30] <xtknight> wim, you might need to disable compositing support in xorg.conf to get 3d rendering again
[10:30] <wim> xtknight - did that, no luck
[10:30] <Jamh> section31, system -> preferences -> sound and then the system beep tab should do it
[10:30] <section31> Jamh,thanks
[10:30] <xtknight> wim, so /bin/X is running (not /bin/Xgl), yet direct rendering says disabled?
[10:31] <xtknight> wim, was xgl/compiz working correctly ?  not sluggish, did it feel accelerated?  did you have acceleration before installing it?
[10:31] <ineluki12> section31: enter 'sudo -i' then 'rmmod pcspkr' then 'echo "blacklist pcspkr" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist'
[10:31] <section31> ineluki12,hehe did it using the gui but thanks anyway

[10:32] <torrr> how do I get thunderbird?
[10:32] <torrr> apt-get ?
[10:32] <wim> xtknight - I had acceleration before installing it...
[10:32] <xtknight> wim, what is your current OpenGL Renderer String?
[10:32] <torrr> is there a list somewhere of things that can be gotten with apt-get?
[10:32] <comthre3-Bird> can someone tell me how to run ubuntu with a trident cyberbladexp video card?
[10:32] <wim> but after I put Composite "true" in, and then back again (as it didn't work), I didn't have 3D anymore
[10:32] <devilsadvocate> torrr, mozilla-thunderbird
[10:32] <xtknight> torrr, synaptic
[10:33] <Goldmen> Is it possible to copy my windows firefox profile over to firefox on ubuntu?
[10:33] <xtknight> torrr, use synaptic and it will list all available software.  mozilla-thunderbird is for thunderbird
[10:33] <torrr> xtknight: tyepe synaptic on xterm?
[10:33] <wim> xtknight: Mesa
[10:33] <devilsadvocate> torrr, you can search using "apt-cache search <name>"
[10:33] <xtknight> Goldmen, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=windows+firefox+profile+ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search
[10:33] <finalbeta> How do I start a program with a diffrend locale then the system one?
[10:33] <xtknight> wim, is 'fglrx' module loaded?
[10:33] <Goldmen> ty xtknight
[10:34] <xtknight> finalbeta, perhaps something like:   LC_LOCALE=localename program
[10:34] <Mazin> aha, beryl-settings-bindings 0.1.99.2 is incompatible with the latest beryl... 0.1.5svn from trevino's repo should be used instead
[10:34] <Mazin> umm.. for later reference
[10:34] <comthre3-Bird> can someone tell me how to run ubuntu with a trident cyberbladexp video card?
[10:34] <wim> xtknight: yep it is - and modprobe fglrx returns nothing
[10:34] <shatrat> comthre3-Bird, never heard of it, who makes the chipset?
[10:34] <devilsadvocate> comthre3-Bird, are you having a problem with the card?
[10:35] <comthre3-Bird> devilsadvocate I have an HP Pavilion xh575 laptop and am unable to get the live CD to load. All I get is a smokey screen.
[10:35] <xtknight> finalbeta, LANG variable actualy.  type 'env' to see all current environment settings.  change what's appropriate
[10:35] <XNIT-01> this is awesome
[10:35] <ineluki12> why does the madwifi drive crate two network interfaces for atheros cards? anyone? I'm sick of googling for this
[10:35] <xtknight> wim, what about dri and glx extensions?  are they loaded?
[10:35] <XNIT-01> finally installed Ubuntu with my ATI card
[10:35] <comthre3-Bird> devilsadvocate i think its the graphics card
[10:35] <ineluki12> *driver create
[10:35] <Cryoniq> yay, I can finaly access my preciousssss ss s s s anime from my ntfs drives :P
[10:36] <XNIT-01> and all i can say is that I will never go back to Windows
[10:36] <Cryoniq> yatta! :P
[10:36] <shatrat> comthre3-Bird, that does look like an oddball.  Did you try with the safe graphics settings?
[10:36] <XNIT-01> Gaim is great also :)
[10:36] <devilsadvocate> comthre3-Bird, have you tried booting into the live cd?
[10:36] <comthre3-Bird> shatrat i did, nothing happened there
[10:36] <comthre3-Bird> devilsadvocate yeah
[10:36] <shatrat> comthre3-Bird, its likely that your only option is the alternative install
[10:36] <[reed] > wim: Do you have fglrx installed but `fglrxinfo` still says Mesa?
[10:36] <XNIT-01> hey guys, what is the name of that crazy software that everybody uses on Ubuntu
[10:36] <wim> xtknight: dri and glx modules not found when modprobe'ing em
[10:36] <XNIT-01> that lets you have multiple windows on a box
[10:36] <XNIT-01> ?
[10:37] <devilsadvocate> comthre3-Bird, by smokey do you mean a lot of muticoloured lines?
[10:37] <shatrat> comthre3-Bird, the alternative install uses a text based installer which isnt nearly as demanding
[10:37] <xtknight> wim, they are X extensions, not modules to my knowledge.  are they in xorg.conf under extensions?
[10:37] <Cryoniq> XNIT-01: Beryl?
[10:37] <XNIT-01> oh yes, Beryl
[10:37] <XNIT-01> do i download it or just activate it?
[10:37] <Cryoniq> It rocks :)
[10:37] <wim> Cryoniq - if you get it to work yes! ;-)
[10:37] <Flannel> XNIT-01: #ubuntu-xgl, and read the topic there
[10:37] <XNIT-01> ok, thank you
[10:37] <Cryoniq> have to download and install.. and yes.. if one get it to work :)
[10:37] <oFF-beAt> how do i enable 3D Acceleration on my gf fx 5200 card? i have nvidia driver installed
[10:38] <xtknight> wim, actually look under 'Section "Module"' of xorg.conf  see if dri or glx are there
[10:38] <Cryoniq> But there are good guides and nice people around to help :)
[10:38] <comthre3-Bird> devilsadvocate no, i mean a white horisantal line, on the top of the page, then the whole screen starts becoming white little by little, its as if the screen is getting burnt
[10:38] <wim> yes xtknight - they're there.
[10:38] <kitche> oFF-beAt: glxinfo|grep rendering if it says yes you have 3d acceleration
[10:38] <xtknight> wim, post your xorg log on pastebin
[10:38] <kitche> oFF-beAt: if not then you probably have to change your xorg driver to nvidia
[10:38] <KrashKing405> what should the root pass be on a livecd?
[10:38] <Flannel> KrashKing405: like all ubuntu, the root account is disabled
[10:38] <kitche> !root|KrasgKing405
[10:38] <ubotu> KrasgKing405: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:39] <oFF-beAt> kitche, it says yes... but i ran the test with cedega.. the test results say direct rendering.. "Yes" n 3f accel.. no
[10:39] <fbc> devnore:  It turned out to be the GATE20A option in the BIOS...
[10:39] <devilsadvocate> comthre3-Bird, never heard of this, im afraid. you could try the alternate install but theres no guarantee that'll work. I'd googe for this first...
[10:39] <Cryoniq> XNIT-01: there is a channel named Beryl btw on same irc network as this one btw :)
[10:39] <wim> xtknight - my xorg worked exactly like this with 3D rendering before - you can see I've run aticonfig on it, just ignore some of it, as it's not used
[10:39] <fbc> devnore:  My keyboard is working fine now!!! YEAh!!!!
[10:39] <oFF-beAt> kitche, it's enabled... change from "nv" to "nvidia"
[10:39] <comthre3-Bird> devilsadvocate, tried that,
[10:39] <Flannel> comthre3-Bird: er, the alternate CD didn't work for you?  that's abnormal
[10:39] <kitche> oFF-beAt: haven't used cedega in a while but if you have direct rendering you have 3d acceleration at least you should
[10:39] <lasse> I've gotten a new disk that is for sharing video's downloaded with bittorrent over samba. What kind of filesystem should I go for to get the best performance?
[10:40] <devilsadvocate> comthre3-Bird, there is also a hardware compatibility guid on the ubuntu wiki somewhere
[10:40] <Christopher> I'm going to be installing Ubuntu on top of windows xp. Will my wireless keyboard work when selecting operating systems in GRUB or do I have to use corded?
[10:40] <comthre3-Bird> devilsadvocate lemme go check it out
[10:40] <shatrat> comthre3-Bird, I think youll have to use the alternative CD to get installed, but I see there is a "trident" driver available which ubuntu should use for that card, so it should work after install
[10:40] <oFF-beAt> kitche, so what's the point of cedega having two seperate tests for them?
[10:40] <IntuitiveNipple> lasse: if you're actively using bittorrrent don't use ext3, it has a bug in it that can lose data with torrent
[10:40] <XNIT-01> is there a program for Ubuntu that allows me to extract a rar?
[10:40] <wim> xtknight: here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3154/
[10:40] <finalbeta> Damn, changing my locale didn't seem to change the spell checking language for xchat.
[10:40] <shatrat> XNIT-01, its called "unrar" I think its in the repos
[10:40] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | finalbeta
[10:40] <ubotu> finalbeta: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:40] <kitche> Christopher: as long as your bios can use wireless keyboard then your keyboard should work
[10:41] <walrus> hello, i want to be able to download the latest kernel image optimized for amd-k6
[10:41] <XNIT-01> thanks shatrat
[10:41] <xtknight> wim, sorry.  xorg log
[10:41] <shatrat> !unrar|XNIT-01
[10:41] <ubotu> XNIT-01: unrar is rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression  There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[10:41] <[reed] > xtknight: I'm having fglrx issues, too... my xorg log is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3153/
[10:41] <kitche> oFF-beAt: don't know but it didn't have that test before when I used it
[10:41] <xtknight> everyones having fglrx issues
[10:41] <walrus> i can't find the packages on my repos =)
[10:41] <xtknight> ARGH!
[10:41] <Flannel> walrus: what version are you running? edgy?
[10:41] <xtknight> lol
[10:41] <lasse> IntuitiveNipple, I see. So, what about XFS for instance?
[10:41] <Christopher> kitche: Hmm, let me go look. THey work sometimes but not othrs
[10:41] <xtknight> three people so far.  what's up?  i think a recent update broke something
[10:41] <Christopher> brb and ty
[10:41] <shatrat> xtknight, Im not anymore.  Dumped my ati card and got an nvidia :)
[10:41] <shatrat> xtknight, fglrx have been terrible for YEARS, this is not new
[10:41] <xtknight> shatrat, i used it, it wasnt that bda
[10:41] <xtknight> that bad

[10:42] <xtknight> crashy a bit
[10:42] <finalbeta> tonyyarusso: with all due respect. You are border line censuring here.
[10:42] <xtknight> which is why i use nvidia now
[10:42] <shatrat> xtknight, have you tried a similar nvidia card?  its night and day
[10:42] <[reed] > xtknight: I've spent half of yesterday reading forum reports about fglrx, and I haven't been able to figure out why this isn't working.
[10:42] <KrashKing405> should the livecd have access to the HDDs?
[10:42] <walrus> yes, im suing edgy
[10:42] <XNIT-01> uh oh
[10:42] <[reed] > xtknight: Basically, `fglrxinfo` still says the mesa driver instead of fglrx is being loaded
[10:42] <XNIT-01> how do i run commands such as sudo apt-get install unrar when I am on the desktop instead of the recovery
[10:42] <Flannel> walrus: linux-generic (probably what you already have installed) is what you want, it's optimized for your processor
[10:42] <walrus> hello, i want to be able to download the latest kernel image optimized for amd-k6
[10:42] <tonyyarusso> finalbeta: Hence not actually kicking for it, just giving reminders a lot (to find out why, join me in #ubuntu-ops)
[10:42] <xtknight> wim, i actually need your Xorg log
[10:42] <walrus> i can't find the packages on my repos =)
[10:43] <wdh> hi ppls.. i just installed edgy on a notebook. Sound works fine when using headphones, but for some reason the onboard speakers dont work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[10:43] <XNIT-01> oh, terminal right?
[10:43] <shatrat> XNIT-01, you need to open a terminal. Go to applications - > accessories.  I suggest you go ahead and drag the icon onto your panel bar because its an important tool
[10:43] <kitche> XNIT-01: use synaptic probbaly be easier for you to use and you should enable the other two repos while your at it also
[10:43] <xtknight> [reed] , youve never experimented with xgl, aiglx, compiz, and friends,  correct?
[10:43] <Christopher> kitche: I forgot to add, when i try and bring up ubuntu as a live cd, I have to use a corded keyboard for that selection. Does that tell me right off?
[10:43] <darren> hellooo... i have a notebook that has no floppy or cd drive, but it has a network boot option. i want to use it to put ubuntu on that notebook, but i dont have any idea how to do that. the other machines on the network are windows machines if that matters. please PM me if you can send me some info
[10:43] <lasse> Ill ask the question better: What filesystem should i use for a HDD used to download with bittorrent on it, and share big files over LAN with SAMBA?
[10:43] <xtknight> [reed] , lol i ask that as if they were drugs... no, it's just that they complicate things
[10:43] <Flannel> !install | darren, lots of methods, first link
[10:43] <ubotu> darren, lots of methods, first link: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[10:43] <walrus> i did always downloaded the amd-optimized kernel, but if u say that so youre probably right because i dont see anymore those packages
[10:43] <shatrat> lasse, nobody ever got fired for using ext3
[10:43] <[reed] > xtknight: I did try to install Beryl (which requires xserver-xgl, iirc)
[10:44] <[reed] > but that's it
[10:44] <kitche> Christopher: it might but you already said your wireless keyboard is flakey at times
[10:44] <KrashKing405> should the livecd be able to access the hard drive/drives?
[10:44] <[reed] > but Beryl won't work because the ati driver is not working
[10:44] <flodine> can someone tell me is there a way to change the ubuntu icon in the tool bar?
[10:44] <walrus> ubuntu says something like those packages are obsolete right now by the "generic" image
[10:44] <Christopher> yep =\
[10:44] <Flannel> walrus: they got rid of the different arch specific kernels, -generic determines what opts it can use at runtime
[10:44] <Christopher> kitche: It's a wirless ms one. I'll go mes sin teh bios.
[10:44] <Christopher> *mess in the bios
[10:44] <Christopher> later, ty
[10:44] <lasse> shatrat, yeah but IntuitiveNipple said that ext3 wasnt such a good idea when bittorrenting
[10:44] <shatrat> flodine, You have to change some distrologo.svg or something like that somewhere flodine, I cant remember the path to it though.
[10:44] <xtknight> finalbeta, you can install a different aspell package
[10:45] <xtknight> third occurence of this today: drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
[10:45] <flodine> shatrat is it a command
[10:45] <XNIT-01> !info unrar-free
[10:45] <xtknight> by various users
[10:45] <ubotu> unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20060609-1 (edgy), package size 17 kB, installed size 80 kB
[10:45] <xtknight> so something's up with updates or some such
[10:45] <walrus> didnt know that =), i suppose that rules because of dynamic optimizing
[10:45] <shatrat> lasse, Im not a huge expert on different file systems.  I do know torrents do many small updates to filees so I can see where some fs might have better performance than others.
[10:45] <west_coast> anyone from greece?
[10:45] <shatrat> flodine, no, you need to change an image file.  I cant remember where the file is though ;(
[10:45] <xtknight> !gr | west_coast
[10:45] <ubotu> west_coast: #ubuntu-gr  #kubuntu-gr     /  #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes
[10:46] <XNIT-01> what is the best program to access repositories?
[10:46] <finalbeta> xtknight: I have full support for dutch, English and French installed. I want to set the desktop up as french. But I want spelling to occur in English.
[10:46] <Christopher> kitche: actually, when booting into windows it works fine... I can hit delete and have no problem getting into bios. It's just screens like the one where MS is asking if you would like to boot up in safe more or when selecting options on live CD's (I think knoppix worked fine)
[10:46] <xtknight> finalbeta, uninstall all dictionaries except english then, i guess
[10:46] <XNIT-01> is Synaptic the best?
[10:46] <xtknight> [reed] , sorry dude.  can you make a forum post about it?  that's the third type of problem ive seen today with the exact same nature
[10:46] <shatrat> XNIT-01, there is no best.  Synaptic is easier for most beginners
[10:46] <kitche> XNIT-01: it's a good gui frontend for apt
[10:47] <shatrat> XNIT-01, I prefer using sudo apt-get the best
[10:47] <west_coast> yes but.....anyone from greece?
[10:47] <[reed] > xtknight: ugh... a new forum post, or is there a thread?
[10:47] <Flannel> kitche: it's actually not a frontend, but that's not too important
[10:47] <shatrat> west_coast, I think plato was from greece
[10:47] <xtknight> [reed] , i'm not sure.  make a new one if you dont find anything with search
[10:47] <XNIT-01> i used sudo apt-get but it said that unrar wasn't in the repository
[10:47] <[reed] > xtknight: k, thx
[10:47] <lasse> shatrat, thanx. You know where I could find some info on this?
[10:47] <Flannel> XNIT-01: you need to enable universe first

[10:48] <playest> devilsadvocate, hello :)
[10:48] <wim> damn connection got dropped
[10:48] <shatrat> lasse, The wikipedia entry on filesystems has a lot of interesting stuff, I dont know if it will specifically mention bit torrent though.  See if there is a FS with good linux support that is good with large files and lots of updates :)
[10:48] <wim> > xtknight: yep coming up ;-)
[10:48] <wim>  xtknight: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3155/

[10:48] <kitche> Flannel: yeah I m jsut going by what their websites say though
[10:48] <Zeram> bye
[10:48] <shatrat> lasse, or you could try messaging intuitivenipple and see what he recommends if he gets to it latter

[10:48] <ubotu> IntuitiveNipple is on IRC right now!
[10:48] <devilsadvocate> had any luck?
[10:49] <kitche> wim: not to swear :)
[10:49] <cypher007> hey
[10:49] <shatrat> HI
[10:49] <xtknight> wim, you just said the D word.  that's considered swearing i guess
[10:49] <XNIT-01> thanks
[10:49] <alecjw> hi. i have a string in a shell script which i want to remove every occurence of a certain word from (eg change "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" to " quick brown fox jumped over  lazy dog", rmeoving every occurence of "the".). how cna i do this?
[10:49] <Flannel> khoa: please remove your bot from this channel
[10:49] <playest> devilsadvocate, i can't install grub
[10:49] <wim> xtknight....wow...ok
[10:49] <playest> i reinstall windows
[10:49] <cypher007> Question: can someone help me with tunneling VNC through SSH so that a windows computer can connect to my ubuntu laptop (not on the same network, i've also mapped a domain dns to my dynamic ip address)
[10:50] <playest> and of course grub was broken
[10:50] <wim> d@mn is swearing? oh ok...I know for next time
[10:50] <shatrat> alecjw, you could use a find and replace in some text editory, probably the easiest way
[10:50] <cypher007> at the moment, i've tryed enabling port-forwarding on my us-robotics 9160 for port 22, however to no avail.
[10:50] <xtknight> wim, surprised me too.  but we have to abide by the rules, it's their channel ;)
[10:50] <alecjw> shatrat: i need a script to do it, so it needs to be automated
[10:50] <devilsadvocate> playest, grub install is pretty easy, in fact, i did it just yesterday.
[10:50] <lasse> shatrat, thanks man
[10:51] <wim> xtknight - sure, no probs.
[10:51] <xtknight> wim, you stil have compositing enabled
[10:51] <XNIT-01> when i type /etc/apt/sources.list in terminal it says bash Permission denied
[10:51] <playest> devilsadvocate, cool can you tell me how i can do
[10:51] <xtknight> wim, (II) fglrx(0): Composite extension enabled, disabling direct rendering
[10:51] <shatrat> alecjw, ah, im not elite enough to know that off the top of my head, sorry
[10:51] <Flannel> alecjw: sed
[10:51] <devilsadvocate> playest, i did it from the gentoo live cd though
[10:51] <cypher007> anyone know anything about port-forwarding/ssh setup/vnc through it? :)
[10:51] <playest> devilsadvocate, i have the dapper live cd it's ok ?
[10:51] <kitche>    XNIT-01 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list should open up gedit in X and let you edit source.list
[10:51] <T-ROK> hey
[10:51] <XNIT-01> thanks kitche
[10:51] <devilsadvocate> playest, boot into the live cd. it should be able to do it
[10:52] <Flannel> alecjw: sed 's/the//gi' <input >output
[10:52] <shatrat> XNIT-01, thats a text file.  You need to use something to open it.  You can read whats in it with cat, "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"  If you want to edit it you have to use an editor and youll need to use sudo
[10:52] <playest> devilsadvocate, i am already on the live cd
[10:52] <playest> (with my laptop)
[10:52] <cypher007> so no help on port-forwading from anyone?
[10:52] <T-ROK> i installed ubuntu with a dual boot with windows...can i access all of my windows files with ubuntu now or do i have to do something else
[10:52] <alecjw> Flannel: excellent. thanks
[10:52] <Flannel> alecjw: except, you'll probably want to put word boundaries in there, so you don't remove "the" from "there" and stuff
[10:52] <shatrat> cypher007, sorry I missed question
[10:52] <devilsadvocate> playest, open a terminal
[10:52] <playest> done
[10:52] <Flannel> alecjw: it's just normal regexp stuff
[10:52] <cypher007> ok one moent
[10:52] <shatrat> cypher007, do you need to forward something to your computer with an off the shelf router?
[10:52] <cypher007> Question: can someone help me with tunneling VNC through SSH so that a windows computer can connect to my ubuntu laptop (not on the same network, i've also mapped a domain dns to my dynamic ip address)
[10:52] <cypher007> at the moment, i've tryed enabling port-forwarding on my us-robotics 9160 for port 22, however to no avail.
[10:52] <walrus> does anyway had tried win32 soulseek over wine ?? i've seen it's quite buggy on it =)=) ..
[10:53] <wim> xtknight - ok, BRB
[10:53] <devilsadvocate> playest, "sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu" and then "sudo mount /dev/*** /media/ubuntu" where *** is your ubuntu artition
[10:53] <shatrat> cypher007, I used to have a USR router.  Do you have a static IP on your ubuntu box, or assign static IPs with DHCB configured in the router? Maybe your local IP has changed
[10:54] <playest> devilsadvocate, done
[10:54] <wim> xtknight: ok - back with 3D rendering *phew*
[10:54] <XNIT-01> ok, now that i took the two #'s off the universe
[10:54] <XNIT-01> where in SPM do i go to access universe files?
[10:54] <walrus> does anyway had tried win32 soulseek over wine ?? i've seen it's quite buggy on it =)=) ..
[10:54] <devilsadvocate> playest, now do "sudo chroot /media/ubuntu /bin/bash"
[10:54] <XNIT-01> do i click reload?
[10:54] <Flannel> !universe | XNIT-01, you need to enable the universe repository
[10:54] <ubotu> XNIT-01, you need to enable the universe repository: 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
[10:54] <shatrat> XNIT-01, just use the Update button in synaptic, or whatever its called.  Upper left I think
[10:54] <Flannel> XNIT-01: once you've enabled, reload, yeah
[10:54] <XNIT-01> i did enable it
[10:55] <wim> xtknight: when I tried running Beryl, it was moaning it needed compositing
[10:55] <rellik> anyone here use azureus? when I open it, it freezes up my computer, using 90%+ of my CPU..  but the process isn't 'azureus', it is 'gij-4.1' is azureus no good, or is it just the version of java that it installed ?
[10:55] <devilsadvocate> playest, then "sudo mount -t proc proc /proc
[10:55] <XNIT-01> ok, thanks
[10:55] <devilsadvocate> "
[10:55] <XNIT-01> yay, done reloading
[10:55] <xtknight> wim, it does ;(
[10:55] <wim> xtknight - so how do I get Beryl and XGL to work on ATI?
[10:55] <Bagoor> I'm looking for something like Visio, what's equal to it in Linux ? (For network design for example)
[10:55] <cypher007> um, basically my ip (www.whatismyip.org) = 217.*.*.*, my laptops ip = 192.168.1.6
[10:55] <playest> devilsadvocate, done and done
[10:56] <xtknight> wim, can't unfortunately, with 3d acceleration to my knowledge
[10:56] <devilsadvocate> playest, now type "grub"
[10:56] <XNIT-01> ok i found unrar
[10:56] <XNIT-01> now i mark it for installation?
[10:56] <playest> ok
[10:56] <devilsadvocate> playest, what was your ubuntu partition?
[10:56] <kitche> XNIT-01: yep
[10:56] <xtknight> wim, you may try running multiple x servers, i think they describe that.  maybe it'd be better to ask in #beryl
[10:56] <playest> devilsadvocate, /dev/sda6
[10:56] <wim> xtknight, so I need to comment out dri and glx and then enable compositing and load Beryl / XGL...?
[10:56] <XNIT-01> and then i click apply kitche?
[10:57] <xtknight> wim, you need to enable compisiting, i think thats it
[10:57] <XNIT-01> yay its installing
[10:57] <XNIT-01> thanks for the help
[10:57] <kitche> rellik: gij is the default java installed in ubuntu I don't like it myself I use sun's version or my own depending what I feel like
[10:57] <devilsadvocate> playest, in the promp that shows up, type "root (hd0,5)"
[10:57] <wim> xtknight - uh ok, and then it will disable direct rendering as a result...I see
[10:57] <xtknight> wim, sadly
[10:57] <devilsadvocate> playest, if there are no errors, then do "setup (hd0) "
[10:57] <wim> I'll try that - thanks again - you're a star!
[10:57] <xtknight> wim, nvidia cards dont have the problem though
[10:58] <playest> no error
[10:58] <cypher007> shatrat
[10:58] <Loevborg> Is there some _nice_ GUI replacement for top?
[10:58] <cypher007> um, basically my ip (www.whatismyip.org) = 217.*.*.*, my laptops ip = 192.168.1.6
[10:58] <kitche> Loevborg: htop
[10:58] <xtknight> Loevborg, gnome system monitor isnt horrible
[10:58] <playest> devilsadvocate, no error for setup
[10:58] <wim> xtknight - I know, got two other PC's running on Nvidia - no trouble
[10:58] <aleka> I deleted my gnome panel from the desktop by accident. ..how do I get it back?
[10:58] <devilsadvocate> playest,type quit
[10:58] <playest> ok
[10:58] <playest> that's done
[10:58] <XNIT-01> it still says command unrar not found after i installed unrar
[10:58] <mrbayHU> hey
[10:58] <XNIT-01> whats wrong?
[10:58] <mrbayHU> ive just downloaded ubuntu 6.10
[10:59] <devilsadvocate> playest, now, hoping your earlier grub menu.lst was correct, it _should_ boot
[10:59] <Pie-rate> !feisty
[10:59] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[10:59] <devilsadvocate> playest, to reboot, type quit
[10:59] <Theus> Hi
[10:59] <playest> devilsadvocate, i try to reboor ^^
[10:59] <Loevborg> xtknight: I guess not...
[10:59] <devilsadvocate> and then sudo reboot
[10:59] <mrbayHU> can i install it without this liveCD sh.t?
[10:59] <playest> reboot*
[10:59] <XNIT-01> do i need to reboot my computer after i install unrar?
[10:59] <walrus> on ubuntu, where can i find the location of apache's http.conf file ??'
[10:59] <playest> devilsadvocate, you would say "exit" ?
[10:59] <xtknight> walrus, locate httpd.conf
[10:59] <Flannel> walrus: it's not (dfferent file structure) but, /etc/apache2/
[11:00] <kitche> XNIT-01: no only need to reboot really is when you install a new kernel
[11:00] <devilsadvocate> yes playest, to undo the chroot
[11:00] <XNIT-01> then why doesn't it let me use the command unrar?
[11:00] <walrus> all righty thx =)=)
[11:00] <kitche> mrbayHU: use the alternate cd
[11:00] <shatrat> XNIT-01, type "which unrar"
[11:00] <mrbayHU> alternate cd?:(
[11:00] <mrbayHU> i downloaded the desktop one
[11:00] <Flannel> walrus: depending on what you want, it's either apache2.conf, or in sites-available or in mods-available
[11:00] <aleka> HOw do I get thew panel that has <applications,places and system> back on a desktop?
[11:00] <shatrat> aleka, right click and "add to panel" , its near the bottom
[11:00] <XNIT-01> i typed that in terminal
[11:00] <XNIT-01> and i get nothing after i typed it
[11:00] <XNIT-01> it just goes to a new line
[11:01] <aleka> shatrat: that brings up an empty panel
[11:01] <shatrat> XNIT-01, looks like it isnt installed...you sure you checked it?
[11:01] <XNIT-01> yea
[11:01] <XNIT-01> it has a green box now
[11:01] <Cryoniq> XNIT-01: tried sudo unrar?
[11:01] <kitche> XNIT-01: try this type reset then do which unrar
[11:01] <XNIT-01> no
[11:01] <walrus> im sure i have apache2 package installed the ubuntuguide.org way
[11:01] <XNIT-01> still the same thing
[11:01] <shatrat> aleka, thats odd.  You right click on the panel, click Add to Panel, and it brings up what exactly?
[11:01] <XNIT-01> no i didn't try sudo
[11:01] <devilsadvocate> aleka, see if there is a little rectangle on the bottom left or right of the screen
[11:01] <Flannel> !lamp | walrus, this is a better guide
[11:01] <ubotu> walrus, this is a better guide: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:01] <XNIT-01> what is the sudo command for it again?
[11:01] <mrbayHU> k, another question. im in this liveCD thing, and i try to install ubuntu, but at the partitioning part it stops
[11:02] <Cryoniq> XNIT-01:  just add sudo before the unrar command you tried
[11:02] <XNIT-01> ?
[11:02] <XNIT-01> oh ok
[11:02] <rellik> when I try to open a video file I get an error that vo is already being used..  how can I find out what is using it and kill it?
[11:02] <mrbayHU> i choose manual partitioning, set everything up, but it says i havent set a root partition.. but believe me i set it
[11:02] <aleka> it brings up a blank panel.. how do i add the applications menu
[11:02] <mrbayHU> if i set it to a 100 mb partition it says the root is too small
[11:02] <shatrat> Cryoniq, XNIT-01 you shouldnt need to be root to unrar a file...im quite certain of it in fact
[11:03] <XNIT-01> sudo : unrar : command not found
[11:03] <shatrat> mrbayHU, that is too small
[11:03] <mrbayHU> yes i know
[11:03] <mrbayHU> thats why i set it to a 10 gig partition
[11:03] <walrus> flannel: i've heard that mounting a lamp server is less configurable ...
[11:03] <mrbayHU> but then it says that no root part. were set
[11:03] <cypher007> shatrat? :(
[11:03] <Flannel> walrus: eh? what?  What are you trying to... ultimately do?
[11:03] <roger> hello!
[11:03] <cypher007> um, basically my ip (www.whatismyip.org) = 217.*.*.*, my laptops ip = 192.168.1.6
[11:04] <playest> devilsadvocate, don't work
[11:04] <playest> i look for the menu.lst
[11:04] <roger> first tim linuxe with
[11:04] <walrus> flannel: im just following ubuntu-guide of how-to install php5 over apache2 ...
[11:04] <lasse> cant gparted create xfs partitions?
[11:04] <XNIT-01> whats wrong :(
[11:04] <Cryoniq> shatrat: true one shouldn't. Seems more like there are trouble to find unrar for him
[11:04] <XNIT-01> i really need to unrar my music
[11:04] <devilsadvocate> playest, what is the problem this time?
[11:04] <playest> but now grub is loading
[11:04] <walrus> flannel: i just wanted to know http.conf's location fol altering DocumentRoot
[11:04] <shatrat> cypher007, its a router thing really.  Make sure you restart the router after you forward 22:22 to your whatever.
[11:04] <playest> devilsadvocate, ubuntu don't boot
[11:04] <devilsadvocate> playest, are you able to boot into anything from grub?
[11:04] <kitche> XNIT-01: try the unrar-nonfree
[11:04] <playest> i have no entry for windows
[11:04] <devilsadvocate> playest, windows?
[11:05] <devilsadvocate> hmm
[11:05] <playest> i'm trying to put it
[11:05] <XNIT-01> does that cost money kitche?
[11:05] <shatrat> XNIT-01, nonfree just means it isnt open source.
[11:05] <PeterDrake> can someone give me the coomand line for the terminal to open a file with full rights like a "sudo" command? I'd like to open and edit my etc/gdm/gdm.conf file
[11:05] <walrus> flannel: give me a second for trying ubuntuguide's way for installing apache2+php5+mysql5 ...
[11:05] <devilsadvocate> playest, boot back into the live cd and get your menu.ls fixed
[11:05] <XNIT-01> is it in the repository?
[11:05] <walrus> flannel: if i fail ill reach you rofl =) ... thx for all dude
[11:05] <yanickd> Hi, i downloaded the Dapper Drake Alternate iso-File and mountet it (in Breezy), and now i wanted to upgrade my System. apt-get dist-upgrade says that i should enter the Cd-Rom to /cdrom/, but i dont -have any cd-rom device. Do someone know how to Upgrade the System only with the iso-file????
[11:05] <kitche> XNIT-01: yes if you enabled multiverse repo
[11:06] <Flannel> !iso | yanickd
[11:06] <ubotu> yanickd: To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[11:06] <walrus> flannel: btw, sorry for my english =$=$ ..
[11:06] <shatrat> XNIT-01, dunno.  It might be that that is what you have installed though.  In terminal type "unrar<tab>"  and tab will complete the command if there is anything that Starts with unrar
[11:06] <XNIT-01> where do i enable that kitche?
[11:06] <Stormx2> This is making no sense
[11:06] <Flannel> walrus: ubuntuguide is wrong.  It was bad, it got better, apparently it's bad again.  What page are you using?

[11:10] <LjL> XNIT-01: ah wait.. that's a wrong command line
[11:10] <XNIT-01> oh it is
[11:10] <suzumiya> are there any other mail services aside from postfix out there?
[11:10] <kitche> XNIT-01: unrar-nonfree is easier at least in my view since I mu use to using winrar command line
[11:10] <XNIT-01> this rar is on my desktop by the way...
[11:10] <kitche> suzumiya: sendmail
[11:10] <suzumiya> thx

[11:11] <XNIT-01> yea, i just did help
[11:11] <LjL> XNIT-01, you need to enable multiverse

[11:11] <LjL> Ubotu, tell XNIT-01 about multiverse | XNIT-01, see the private message from Ubotu
[11:11] <suzumiya> that works, thx

[11:12] <LjL> XNIT-01: though really that looks more it doesn't like the command line than anything else
[11:12] <suzumiya> i've read through that
[11:12] <suzumiya> im using 6.06 lts
[11:12] <kitche> erUSUL: sendmail takes longer to learn then some of the others that's why it's more advance steep learning curve
[11:12] <XNIT-01> do i enable multiverse in /etc/apt/sources.list

[11:13] <distro-tester> is it reed?
[11:13] <KirillZ> Hey I need to do a fresh install of a certain package and make sure all the old files are deleted. Would apt-get uninstall do that?
[11:13] <[reed] > Xinerama disables DRI?
[11:13] <LjL> XNIT-01: that's a way, yes, or you can use the GUI. let me check out unrar-free anyway

[11:14] <LjL> XNIT-01: ok, unrar-free wants "-x" to extract, not "e"
[11:14] <kitche> distro-tester: you need a wrapper to sue flash or you can use a chroot if you want to run 32bit on x86_64 system just easier to use x86 since x86_+64 can use x86
[11:14] <walrus> flannel: just like u said it will be, i dont think the apache installation is going wrong =) i tried http://localhost and everything seems quite predictible ..
[11:14] <xtknight> [reed] , i guess
[11:14] <T1> anyone reccomend a good program to compress a dvd-9 onto a normal dvd?

[11:14] <walrus>  what is the best svn client for ubuntu ??
[11:14] <mrbayHU> so can anyone help me why is it sayin that i havent set a root partition?
[11:14] <walrus> there are svn clients as comfortables as win32's tortoise for ubuntu??
[11:14] <XNIT-01> whats the command to open gedit in a mode that lets me save

[11:14] <LjL> XNIT-01: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:15] <shatrat> XNIT-01, you need to read the "unrar-free --usage" thing and find out what to type to extract something.  Maybe "unrar-free -x archive.rar" or something like that

[11:15] <LjL> shatrat: yes, it's like that precisely. the confusing thing is that the non-free unrar wants "unrar e filename"
[11:15] <Flannel> walrus: right, so you want to edit sites-available and change it
[11:15] <XNIT-01> what would the address to Cubic_CM...Revenge.Is.Sweet.rar be if its on my desktop
[11:15] <LjL> XNIT-01, unrar-free -x Cubic_CM...Revenge.Is.Sweet.rar
[11:15] <XNIT-01> Cubic_SM...Revenge.Is.Sweet.rar
[11:15] <Flannel> walrus: or, edit the sit IN sites-available, that is.
[11:15] <XNIT-01> that's what i am doing
[11:15] <XNIT-01> it doesn't work

[11:18] <sshock> Hi, does anyone know how to silence the alsa sequencer?
[11:18] <sshock> I played a midi file with aplaymidi, then hit ctrl-c in the middle.  Now the sound is stuck and won't go away.
[11:19] <LjL> XNIT-01: use the "-p" option

[11:19] <walrus> flannel: i see i see, i assumed it will be like win32 way =) sorry
[11:19] <cmacis> anyone? anything about converting from itunes m4p format?
[11:20] <T1> anyone reccomend a good program to compress a dvd-9 onto a normal dvd?
[11:20] <sshock> I tried restarting alsa (/etc/init.d/alsa restart), but that didn't help.
[11:20] <Flannel> walrus: so, most of your config (general config, not modules, not specific hosts) goes in apache2.conf, module stuff goes in the respective conf files in /mods-available/ and site specific stuff goes in the respective sites file in /sites-available/
[11:20] <walrus> flannel: so, if DocumentRoot is not specified on httpd.conf, where do i specify it ???
[11:20] <XNIT-01> ok
[11:20] <comthre3-Bird> back,,
[11:20] <walrus> flannel: oh =o ... quite nice ..
[11:20] <XNIT-01> i'm just going to get unrar nonfree
[11:20] <Flannel> walrus: /sites-available/ then. there's either 000-default or just default as the filename, edit that, and there's a directive in there
[11:20] <XNIT-01> whats the command to open a file in gedit with save option enabled
[11:20] <XNIT-01> as in not read only
[11:20] <walrus>  flannel: so everything will not be messed up on one file ... =o ... very nice
[11:21] <comthre3-Bird> i got ubuntu 10.6, can someone tell me how to get into the command based os, so that i oculd fix my xorg file?
[11:21] <LjL> XNIT-01: i just told you
[11:21] <LjL> XNIT-01: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:21] <LjL> XNIT-01: gedit 'always* lets you save, except that if you don't have permissions for a file, you need to be the superuser to edit it

[11:43] <andre> Hey Guys,  Can anyone tell me what a symbolic link is?  I would like to create a symbolic link to /var/www in /home/user
[11:43] <gnomefreak> !sysmlink | andre
[11:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sysmlink - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:43] <gnomefreak> grrr
[11:43] <elyon225> I having a problem where every now and then when a user select End Session, it goes to shutdown instead, but hangs at a black screen... I need to do Ctrl-Alt-Delete to continue...  Any ideas?
[11:43] <AirRaven> !symlink
[11:43] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands

[11:43] <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
[11:44] <kitche> gnomefreak: hmm symlink factod isn't very informative for it is it :)
[11:44] <gnomefreak> AirRaven: it doesnt know it. if i get time later ill add it
[11:44] <elyon225> !xserver-reconfigure
[11:44] <AirRaven> Righto.
[11:44] <Flannel> elyon225: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:44] <elyon225> ewww!  Since when does ubotu send private messages??
[11:44] <gnomefreak> elyon225: always
[11:45] <elyon225> Flannel: That what I was looking for :)  Never can remember that.  Thanks.
[11:45] <elyon225> gnomefreak: No, it never used to.  And it is a horrible practice.
[11:45] <kitche> andre: symlink makes a link to a directory for easy access or makes it easier to use certain software you can make one with ln -s /var/www/log /home/<user>/wwwlog
[11:45] <torrrrrrrrrr> is there a wine package ?
[11:45] <turbolover> hey if i broke my grub and am currently booted on the livecd in terminal, how would i fix it?

[11:45] <volcom> yeah
[11:45] <volcom> ljl yeah
[11:46] <AirRaven> Think of a Symlink as being a slightly deeper equivalent of a Windows Shortcut.
[11:46] <LjL> volcom: some guy was having that problem before. no idea as to the solution however. try asking in #ubuntu-xgl too
[11:46] <torrrrrrrrrr> but how do I use it?
[11:46] <andre> kitche:  Thanks
[11:46] <gnomefreak> elyon225: use /msg ubotu something or we can send you messagess from ubotu

[11:46] <Flannel> cmacis: you need something like PlayFair or some other un-DRMing program
[11:46] <wolfwalker> It ain't working
[11:47] <elyon225> torrrrrrrrrr: You need to enable the multiverse repositories.
[11:47] <wolfwalker> Can't find wine anywhere

[11:47] <AirRaven> DRM removal'll be difficult
[11:47] <AirRaven> WolfWalker- have you installed it?
[11:47] <LjL> torrrrrrrrrr: then you don't have universe enabled
[11:47] <LjL> elyon225: it's in universe tnough
[11:47] <XNIT-01> um
[11:47] <elyon225> err, universe yeah
[11:47] <kitche> andre: symlinks come in handy I have to use them alot, sicne I use them to trick programs into thinking a lib is installed usually
[11:47] <XNIT-01> does anybody know why the sound is very low?
[11:47] <wolfwalker> Yeah
[11:47] <AirRaven> Why are you looking for it?
[11:47] <XNIT-01> how can I make the sound louder... it's like really really low right now
[11:47] <elyon225> XNIT-01: Your volume is too low ;)
[11:47] <AirRaven> It's a console command.
[11:47] <XNIT-01> even with my speakers on 100
[11:47] <AirRaven> You run "wine pathtoexe" to run it.
[11:47] <wolfwalker> At least, when I look for it with Synaptic it gives me the option to remove it, not install it
[11:48] <AirRaven> Erm
[11:48] <elyon225> XNIT-01: Press Alt-F2 and type in kmix.
[11:48] <AirRaven> Then it's already installed.
[11:48] <Flannel> cmacis: oh, wait.  It's been renamed to Hymn Project. -- http://hymn-project.org/
[11:48] <blanky> x2mjokada: what's up
[11:48] <XNIT-01> it said it could not run kmix elyon
[11:48] <x2mjokada> blanky, wuts up
[11:48] <AirRaven> Hm.
[11:48] <elyon225> XNIT-01: You running KDE?
[11:48] <wolfwalker> I can't find the path to it
[11:48] <wolfwalker> I can't find it period
[11:48] <blanky> x2mjokada: there's also #kubuntu (whenever it has to do with kde) and #kde when it's a kde kde problem
[11:48] <XNIT-01> i'm running Amarok
[11:48] <AirRaven> Hold on
[11:48] <AirRaven> I'll open a dialog
[11:48] <wolfwalker> But I DID install it
[11:48] <kitche> wolfwalker: /usr/bin/wine but you just have to type wine for it to run
[11:49] <elyon225> XNIT-01: Okay, is the volume in amarok turned up? (its located in the lower right corner)
[11:49] <blanky> x2mjokada: then there's #gnome too, you can guess what that's for, there's also an #amarok channel; simply put, whatever you can think of, just do /join #channelname and it might exist
[11:49] <XNIT-01> yea
[11:49] <XNIT-01> it is on max
[11:49] <torrrrrrrrrr> how do I enable universe?
[11:49] <XNIT-01> so is system volume
[11:49] <XNIT-01> it's not amarok
[11:49] <blanky> x2mjokada: that's how you join channels, /join #channelname
[11:49] <XNIT-01> it's just everything on the system
[11:49] <XNIT-01> the sound is very low
[11:49] <elyon225> !universe | torrrrrrrrrr
