[12:01] <bobdobbs> could someone look at this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/870740 it keeps happenening and has somehting to do with login hanging indeffinately
[12:01] <Jowi> arthus, before you do: write up the ipaddress, subnet mask and gateway that you get in windows
[12:02] <guilherme_jorge> hello all, I've updated ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 and in this proccess firefox was already updated to version 2.0.0.1. Now, when I try to access www.orkut.com, and anothers sites like of banks, and I get the following message in firefox:  "Unexpected response from server |  Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server. Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
[12:02] <guilherme_jorge>     installed.     * This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server." Note: All of the sites uses SSL. Any idea?
[12:02] <Jowi> arthus, "ifconfig" in linux should match those settings. if they do not - run "sudo network-admin" and set it up in there.
[12:02] <arthus> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3391/
[12:02] <mon^rch> will my beryl work in kde?
[12:02] <arthus> Jowi: now I go to ubuntu and test
[12:03] <arthus> jowi: I'll be back
[12:03] <tom_> !beryl
[12:03] <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
[12:03] <Jowi> arthus, ok, looks fine. yes, boot into ubuntu and have a look
[12:03] <tom_> and yes it probably will.
[12:04] <flareze> anyone know any app to wath tv with WinTV PVR 350 card ?
[12:04] <bobdobbs> here it is, but from a diff log, the first was from syslog, this is from usr.log http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/870743
[12:05] <bobdobbs> I really need that user back, can anyone please help me?
[12:05] <cameotwat> i'm manually editing the partitions how much should i use for swap ?
[12:05] <bimberi> !tvtime
[12:05] <ubotu> tvtime: A high quality television application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-2.2ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 636 kB, installed size 1768 kB
[12:05] <nikitis> I think I figured out why it says Direct Rendering: No  I did a "glxinfo | grep vendor" and got Server glx vendor string: SGI and then two NVIDIA Corporations.  What should I do to fix this?
[12:05] <cameotwat> i have 256 ram
[12:05] <bimberi> flareze: Try tvtime
[12:06] <mon^rch> double ram for a swap
[12:06] <Jowi> cameotwat, 512MB is more than enough
[12:06] <flareze> bimberi: tvtime not working
[12:06] <cameotwat> Jowi what is that swap partition used for anyway ?
[12:06] <nikitis> Anyone?
[12:06] <flareze> bimberi: it says "cant open capture device /dev/video0
[12:06] <foxmulder> hi there
[12:07] <drew1313> bye all
[12:07] <foxmulder> i'm new in ubuntu
[12:07] <cameotwat> Jowi both ext3 and swap should be primary partitions?
[12:07] <Jowi> cameotwat, swap = page file. to free up some data that is stored in ram that is not used very often.
[12:07] <juano__> nikitis: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf check to see in section Device   Driver is in "nvidia"
[12:07] <flareze> bimberi: when i try to cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/adasd.mpg.. it do record.. but its black n white screen
[12:07] <cameotwat> should i set them both to be primary?
[12:07] <Jowi> cameotwat, doesn't matter. you can have 4 primary partitions. if you need more partitions than that you need to create an extended partition with logical partitions inside of it.
[12:08] <foxmulder> who can i see a windows partition in ubuntu?
[12:08] <nikitis> juano__: Driver is nvidia
[12:08] <juano__> nikitis: ok.. seems good
[12:08] <bimberi> flareze: Sorry, I know little more than the existence of the app.  Has the kernel recognised the card?  See if you can find out what modules should be loaded and see if they are (using 'lsmod').
[12:09] <nikitis> juano__: but Cedega says direct rendering is no.  I won't be able to achieve very fast speeds will I?
[12:09] <cameotwat> Error while resizing/moving /dev/hda1
[12:09] <cameotwat> Jowi problem :P
[12:09] <nikitis> juano__: or is it lying to me
[12:10] <flareze> bimberi: sure... i can find it
[12:10] <Jowi> cameotwat, I can see that ;) it's a ntfs partition or something?
[12:10] <juano__> nikitis: mm nope, i got direct rendering Yes , whatvideo card you got ?
[12:10] <nikitis> GeForce Go 6800
[12:10] <juano__> nikitis: driver is "nvidia" and NOT "nv" right ?
[12:10] <nikitis> 3D Acceleration works fine, but direct rendering doesn't which means it's having to go through X
[12:10] <nikitis> juano__: yes it's nvidia not nv
[12:10] <cameotwat> Jowi yes..
[12:11] <Jowi> cameotwat, do you need the data that is on it?
[12:11] <juano__> nikitis: ok , type glxgears and see what speed you get those gears going
[12:11] <cameotwat> Jowi why :P
[12:11] <nikitis> it doesn't show the speed  only the gears
[12:11] <toM|vendettA> hi... i have a bunch of files named filename.txt, i want to make them filename.tom
[12:11] <nikitis> how do I make it show the fps
[12:11] <juano__> nikitis: well are they fast or very slow and stuttery?
[12:12] <cameotwat> Jowi i think i need it
[12:12] <nikitis> They are simi fast, but as fast as they could be
[12:12] <jkillaz> test
[12:12] <nikitis> not stuttery as if no nvidia driver is installed
[12:12] <toM|vendettA> is there a way i can batch convert file extensions? like say file.txt to file.ext
[12:12] <kelsin> nikitis: in the Module section of xorg.conf are you loading glx and NOT dri?
[12:12] <kelsin> nikitis: and when you log on do you see the nvidia logo before the login screen?
[12:12] <nikitis> kelsin: yes i checked already dri isn't even listed
[12:12] <Jowi> cameotwat, well, you have an option to delete all partitions, reboot and then run the installer again. or you can try to only run gparted to resize the partition and reboot, then run the installer again to create the other partitions needed. that error is a bit hard to troubleshoot. it's like doing guesswork.
[12:12] <nikitis> kelsin: yes I see the logo
[12:13] <mon^rch> question: what does dri stand for and why should it be commented out?
[12:13] <Jowi> mon^rch, Direct Rendering Infrastructure - accelerated 3D
[12:13] <kelsin> nikitis: you're not running Compiz or Beryl correct?
[12:14] <kelsin> mon^rch: when using nvidia drivers you don't want xorg's dri driver loaded
[12:14] <toM|vendettA> is there a way i can batch convert file extensions? like say file.txt to file.ext
[12:14] <IntuitiveNipple> Direct Rendering Infrastructure
[12:14] <Jowi> mon^rch, why it would be commented out is a different question. I need it enabled on my card (intel 945GM)
[12:14] <mon^rch> oh, ok... ty
[12:14] <nikitis> kelsin: i did a glxinfo | grep vendor and I did not get NVIDIA logo 3 times like i'm supposed to.  Instead I got it 2 times and SGI once.    I'm not running Beryl currently no.  I had it installed but I disabled it and restarted the Laptop.  still no direct rendering
[12:14] <cameotwat> Jowi gparted?
[12:14] <jkillaz> I have a wpa wireless network card which I want to work on my dell latitude d610.... how can I figure out whihch driver I need?
[12:14] <funkja> I have connected my tv card audio to my CD-ROM audio-in connector on my motherboard. How would I enable that?
[12:14] <kelsin> nikitis: do you have: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3392/ in your xorg?
[12:15] <cameotwat> Jowi is that included in my fluxbuntu?
[12:15] <kelsin> nikitis: might want to try it if not
[12:15] <Jowi> cameotwat, I have no idea what partitioning tools fluxbuntu come with. in the ubuntu live/desktop cd you run gparted.
[12:15] <kelsin> nikitis: might want to try disabling the composite extension in xorg too to see if that gives you dri
[12:15] <Jowi> cameotwat, #fluxbuntu should be able to help you there
[12:15] <mjr> nikitis, 1) in xorg.conf, you're not supposed to load the dri module for nvidia 2) are you running Xgl, perhaps, even if not Beryl? It would explain lack of direct rendering.
[12:16] <nikitis> kelsin: i'm beginning to think maybe mesa and nvidia drivers are mixed.  I'll try your suggestions
[12:16] <kelsin> nikitis: have to run to a meeting, good luck
[12:16] <ledemente> Hi.
[12:16] <Mortuis> Is there a traceroute program in Ubuntu?
[12:16] <cameotwat> Jowi yes i'm there
[12:16] <nikitis> mjr: there is no dri module in xorg.conf
[12:16] <mjr> nikitis, good
[12:16] <Mortuis> I can't seem to figure out the name if there is one.
[12:16] <Zombie1> Is this a good place to ask questions about MacBooks and parallel?
[12:17] <nikitis> mjr: i was running beryl, but i rebooted without it and it still says direct rendering no
[12:17] <ledemente> I accidentally messed up my sources.list and now I can't get updates or upgrades until I resolve some issue with "wpasupplicant"
[12:17] <ledemente> I don't think I need it - I'm not using wireless.
[12:17] <Jowi> cameotwat, I need to hit the sack. getting late here. good luck.
[12:17] <funkja> How would I enable my cd rom audio in from my motherboard?
[12:17] <mjr> nikitis, that's not what I asked, but if you were using Xgl
[12:17] <cameotwat> Jowi thanks
[12:18] <nikitis> mjr: i have an Option in xorg.conf that says AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
[12:18] <pbureau> ledemente- remove the module
[12:18] <FatherTyme> Is there something like /etc/debian_version for Ubuntu?
[12:18] <ledemente> pbureau: how?
[12:18] <juano__> nikitis: you might want to try what kelsin sais
[12:18] <pbureau> ledemente- use gnome ?
[12:19] <toM|vendettA> is there a way i can batch convert file extensions? like say file.txt to file.ext
[12:19] <juano__> nikitis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3392/ in your xorg
[12:19] <ledemente> Yes, although I also use some KDE apps.
[12:19] <mjr> rename s/txt$/ext/ * or something
[12:19] <jrib> toM|vendettA: rename
[12:19] <pbureau> toM|vendettA-  sudo rename *.txt *.ext ??
[12:20] <toM|vendettA> thanks pbureau and jrib
[12:20] <jkillaz> please can someone show me where to start looking for enabling wpa on my Pro/Wireless 2200
[12:20] <ledemente> wpasupplicant
[12:20] <jrib> toM|vendettA: use rename with -n first.  It just says what it will do that way.  It prevents big mistakes :)
[12:20] <nikitis> mjr: would AllowGLXWithComposite prevent direct rendering?
[12:20] <ledemente> I'm trying to get rid of it.

[12:38] <cablesm102> mena, I'm sorry... Java 1.5 = Java 5.
[12:38] <cablesm102> mena, so you want to switch your default java to the sun one?
[12:38] <DavoFrom818> hi
[12:38] <mena> yes
[12:38] <DavoFrom818> whats the command to configure the network
[12:38] <tigerflyer> i just purchased a macbook and will be triple booting (windows/osx/ubuntu)... i also have a 320 gig external hardrive... what is the best filesystem to use on it so that i can use it with the 3 OS's
[12:38] <chorse> jrib: that's not exactly what i need, all the openoffice stuff that comes with it is not reasonable for a server system
[12:38] <mena> cablesm102, in the terminal i choose java 1.5
[12:39] <juano__> nikitis:  sure just put a # at the begining of that line like the other 3 bellow
[12:39] <mena> cablesm102, but after that opera closing auto after opning it
[12:39] <janga> nautilus question: ist there a way to automatically display folder.jpgs as folder icons?
[12:39] <juano__> nikitis: line 140 to be exact
[12:39] <cablesm102> mena, use this: "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and choose the one with sun in it.
[12:39] <mena> cablesm102, okay i did that
[12:39] <DavoFrom818> is it network configure?
[12:39] <nikitis> juano__: still no
[12:39] <mena> cablesm102, but opera in the option use 1.4
[12:39] <juano__> nikitis: you need to restart X for changes to take effect
[12:40] <nikitis> juano__: i did ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:40] <juano__> nikitis: ahh ok
[12:40] <jrib> chorse: I once needed support for si_LK, I think all I did was  sudo locale-gen si_LK.UTF-8   .  You tried this?  You may also have better luck in the language channel for your language since most of the people there would have gone through this :)
[12:40] <juano__> nikitis: mm and then a glxinfo | grep render
[12:40] <juano__> nikitis: whats it say with that command ?
[12:40] <nikitis> juano__: yes that's where i'm getting the direct rendering: No from
[12:41] <juano__> nikitis: ok hold on let me see
[12:41] <cablesm102> alright, mena, i think i know how to do this
[12:41] <mena> cablesm102, ok
[12:41] <DavoFrom818> anyone please?
[12:41] <cablesm102> mena, open Preferences and go to the Content section. Click Java Options
[12:41] <mena> okay i did
[12:41] <AmbientMstr> Hey, I installed last-exit player last night, but I can't hear any sound from it. Suggestions?
[12:41] <tigerflyer> i just purchased a macbook and will be triple booting (windows/osx/ubuntu)... i also have a 320 gig external hardrive... what is the best filesystem to use on the external so that i can use it with the 3 OS's
[12:41] <chorse> jrib: ah...thanks, so simple! and i wondered all the time where my locale.gen has gone
[12:42] <pbureau> ledemente- did you locate an .old file ? for the sources.list
[12:42] <AmbientMstr> tigerflyer: I believe fat32

[12:42] <cablesm102> mena, hold on a sec...
[12:42] <mena> ok take your time
[12:42] <cameotwat> i'm in the middle of installing ubuntu, and gparted told me a warning that /dev/hdc is read only file system and that it is unable to open /dev/hdc - unrecognised disk label, it's a livd CD

[12:42] <janga> DavoFrom818, ifconfig in terminal
[12:42] <nikitis> juano__: when i did glxinfo | grep vendor I got "SGI" "NVIDIA" "NVIDIA".  I was told I was supposed to have 3 NVIDIA's show up
[12:42] <AmbientMstr> Hey, I installed last-exit player last night, but I can't hear any sound from it. Suggestions?
[12:42] <tigerflyer> i was thinking fat32... but then i read that ubuntu supports hfs+
[12:42] <nikitis> juano__: i believe that could be my problem
[12:42] <pbureau> cameotwat- hdc is your cdrom, you need to look for hda
[12:42] <DavoFrom818> isnt there like a network-configure?
[12:42] <AngryElf> !ubotu java
[12:42] <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
[12:43] <AmbientMstr> ?
[12:43] <AngryElf> bah -- is there a package I can install to enable java support in firefox?
[12:43] <cameotwat> pbureau well it gives me an error that it can't make a partition i don't know why
[12:43] <juano__> nikitis: mm yes, actually i get 3 nvidia , one for server xgl, client xgl and opengl
[12:43] <jrib> AngryElf: read the page ubotu sent you too... (sun-java5-plugin)
[12:43] <janga> DavoFrom818, System->Administration->Network
[12:43] <jkillaz_> lendemente: can someone guide me throuh the installation of the wireless card?
[12:43] <nikitis> juano__:  right how would one go about fixing this?
[12:43] <pbureau> AngryElf- synaptic java5 ? or firefox tools addon java ?
[12:44] <DavoFrom818> im on ubuntu 6..10 server
[12:44] <cablesm102> mena, change the path to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
[12:44] <nikitis> juano__:  from what i've googled i've been told mesa drivers are mixed with nvidia
[12:44] <jkillaz_> iwconfi shows me my card on eth1..
[12:44] <pbureau> jkillaz_-  I can possibly help
[12:44] <janga> DavoFrom818, oh, ok
[12:44] <jkillaz_> pbureau: thnx....
[12:44] <juano__> nikitis: mm im searching, did you follow !nvidia ?
[12:44] <mena> cablem102, ok
[12:44] <cablesm102> mena, actually leave out the java at the end
[12:44] <RamiKassab> hey guys, is anyone here pretty avid in setting up a CVS repository?
[12:44] <cablesm102> so just /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/
[12:44] <mena> ok
[12:44] <nikitis> !nvidia
[12:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:44] <RamiKassab> I have a few questions
[12:44] <ala> hello... where can i find a list of the latest upgrades for ubuntu?
[12:45] <cameotwat> pbureau it says error while trying to move\resize hda1
[12:45] <pbureau> cameotwat- dunno.. sorry not a gparted expert
[12:45] <cameotwat> and the console keep saying 'error reading inode XXXXX' XXXXX - all kinds of numbers
[12:45] <oddmanout> hi all, I'm installing ubuntu on a laptop and it's really slow to load the installation screeen after I boot the livecd. Is there a nongraphical or non live-cd way to install?
[12:45] <cameotwat> oh
[12:45] <RamiKassab> first off, if I have a shared server development server where multiple projects are hosted on this server, do I only need one CVS repository? In this case, do I just create modules (projects) for each project hosted on the server?
[12:46] <cablesm102> mena, my bad... try this: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/i386
[12:46] <janga> DavoFrom818, there is no tool like yast in ubuntu, but you can install webmin and configure via HTML-interface
[12:46] <nikitis> juano__:  i would like to uninstall my drivers and start anew.  reformatting my system isn't an option
[12:46] <RamiKassab> furthermore, how do I password protect the modules (projects) so that only certain developers can access certain modules?
[12:46] <riotkittie> oddmanout: yes, there is - an alternate/text mode install. you can find it at ubuntu.com
[12:46] <mena> cablem102, ok
[12:46] <cablesm102> oddmanout, it takes a while for the LiveCD to boot. That's normal.
[12:46] <juano__> nikitis: sure, no need for format
[12:47] <ala> i have a server installation of edgy on one of my machines.  today i updated the udev package....where can i find out if i need to reboot the machine?
[12:47] <oddmanout> cablesm102: how long should I wait after double clicking the install icon? the cd stops spinning altogether
[12:48] <tecywiz121> Hello, I need some help.  I bought a belkin nic, and it will not work.  Any Ideas?
[12:48] <cablesm102> oddmanout, that seems abnormal. I thought you meant the time from when you stick the CD in and power it up to when it boots up entirely.
[12:48] <cablesm102> oddmanout, how much memory do you have?
[12:48] <riotkittie> oddmanout: when booting from the 6.10 disc, i waited about 40 mins total from boot to making it to the desktop and clicking install.
[12:48] <kitche> ala: well you do if you want to use the new udev but it's ok if you don't
[12:48] <mena> cablem102, that would make it work write
[12:48] <belkin> tecywiz121 sup ?
[12:48] <belkin> :)
[12:48] <riotkittie> needless to say, i did not install 6.10 :D
[12:49] <oddmanout> cablesml102, riotkittie: hurm. maybe I should work off of a 6.06 disk?
[12:49] <tecywiz121> belkin, lol, nothing much, the card just doesn't work :P
[12:49] <janga> !webmin
[12:49] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[12:49] <riotkittie> oh wait. i tried, then i waited another 10 minutes for the first screen of the install to pop up
[12:49] <virtu> anyone can help me with one gdesklet? please
[12:49] <cablesm102> oddmanout, there shouldn't be much of a difference. How much RAM do you have?
[12:49] <riotkittie> oddmanout: if you want. or just get the 6.10 alt install cd.
[12:49] <jrib> virtu: give more information
[12:49] <oddmanout> cablesml02: 256
[12:49] <ala> kitche:  that sounds reasonable.  but it is not that way for all packages right?  I suppose this because udev is a system package?
[12:49] <tecywiz121> the funney thing is, I had one that didn't work before, so I went and bought a new one... It turns out that its the same card with a different name
[12:50] <huascar80> how can i stop nautilus from remembering window/icon size, position ... etc...
[12:50] <dexter_> cze
[12:50] <huascar80> ?
[12:50] <mariusz> heloo
[12:50] <kitche> ala: the onyl thing that you really need to reboot for is for kernel update
[12:50] <oddmanout> I'll try the text install if this last attempt doesn't work. then I'll try 6.06 as a last resort
[12:50] <mena> cablem102,u opened site java.com and i verify the installation and its told me i have old ver
[12:50] <cablesm102> oddmanout, that seems like it might not be enough.
[12:50] <mena> i ..sorry
[12:51] <nikitis> How do I completely clean my system from install NVIDIA drivers.  Something got messed up seriously and reinstalling them hasn't fixed the problem.  Anyone know?
[12:51] <cablesm102> mena, not sure then.
[12:51] <oddmanout> cablesml02: in what sense?
[12:51] <ala> kitche: Setting up libvolumeid0 (093-0ubuntu18.0edgy2) ...
[12:51] <ala> Setting up volumeid (093-0ubuntu18.0edgy2) ...
[12:51] <ala> update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic
[12:51] <cablesm102> nikitis, you need to restore your xorg.conf
[12:51] <oddmanout> cablesml102: oh, you mean ram
[12:51] <mena> cablem102,okay no prb
[12:51] <cablesm102> oddmanout, yes.
[12:51] <virtu> ok jrib when I try to run a gdesklet called Rhythmlets it gave following error: "Could not find sensor 'Rhythmlet' /usr/share/gdesklets/Displays/rhythmlet/rhythmlet.display A sensor could not be found. This usualy menas that it has not been installed"
[12:51] <dexter_> mariusz daj na prv
[12:51] <mena> cablem102,thanks
[12:51] <ala> that is a kernel update...right?
[12:51] <nikitis> cablesm102: what about the nvidia-common files and such,  Those have to be cleaned too
[12:51] <virtu> jrib, so what sensor that I dont have installed?
[12:52] <cablesm102> nikitis, is anything broken?
[12:52] <oddmanout> ah, here goes the install screen
[12:52] <kitche> ala: no that just regenerates initrd image but you can pretty much say it is
[12:52] <jrib> virtu: no idae
[12:52] <jrib> idea even
[12:52] <dexter_> :-)
[12:52] <virtu> jrib, :(
[12:52] <oddmanout> where is the sys requirements page on ubuntu.com
[12:52] <nikitis> yes, direct rendering, but everything else points to the fact that the drivers are working.  Cept when I do a glxinfo | grep vendor I only get 2 NVIDIA logos and 1 SGI logo
[12:52] <cablesm102> oddmanout, i was looking for those, couldn't find it
[12:52] <virtu> jrib, everything seems to be fine here
[12:53] <nikitis> cablesm102: when I go to run a 3D game i get unable to start 3D acceleration
[12:53] <ala> kitche:  ok... on ubuntu desktop top a balloon comes up and suggests rebooting.  is there a log file that says something like that in the server edition?
[12:53] <cablesm102> nikitis, can i help you in private chat?
[12:53] <nrdb> i am looking for a C source example on how to use the serial port, can anyone help ?
[12:53] <nikitis> cablesm102: absolutely
[12:53] <jrib> nrdb: try ##c maybe
[12:53] <ugarit> how does one go about configuring the MIDI device on a pc?
[12:53] <nrdb> jrib: ?
[12:54] <oddmanout> I'd be surprised if 256 isn't enough, I think
[12:54] <kitche> ala: no well unless you installed ubuntu-desktop or something and use that
[12:54] <janga> virtu, there is a install_sensor.bin in the package
[12:54] <riotkittie> 256mb RAM is fine, i'm running 6.06 with that
[12:54] <jrib> nrdb: the channel dedicated to the C language can probably help you better than #ubuntu
[12:54] <tecywiz121> any ideas for a belkin network card?
[12:54] <ala> kitche: ok thanks
[12:54] <nrdb> jrib: ok thanks
[12:54] <belkin> tecywiz121 stop saying my nick :)
[12:54] <riotkittie> and have been able to run both GNOME and KDE without probs
[12:54] <oddmanout> cablesml02: guess if it's too much I could go with xubuntu
[12:54] <tecywiz121> belkin, sorry, hard to avoid it :P
[12:54] <virtu> janga, hmm.. I got the package from gdesklets-data..
[12:55] <belkin> tecywiz121 :)))
[12:55] <riotkittie> on a 750mhz p3
[12:55] <virtu> janga, where I can find the source of the gdesklet rhythmlet?
[12:55] <oddmanout> riotkittie: thanks for the info
[12:56] <oddmanout> this is a 2.6 ghz
[12:56] <janga> virtu, http://gdesklets.zencomputer.ca/
[12:56] <oddmanout> should be fine
[12:56] <arthus> I am having issues with WAN dns
[12:56] <dexter_> j
[12:56] <corevette> how do i mount my second hard drive?
[12:56] <tecywiz121> ok, so the driver xubuntu is loading is 8139too, and it fails with error -16
[12:56] <frogzoo> corevette: sata or ide?
[12:56] <ugarit> corevette mount /dev/hdb
[12:56] <high-freq> corevette: use the mount command
[12:57] <mariusz> dexter jestes:>
[12:57] <oddmanout> downloading the 6.06 image now
[12:57] <virtu> janga, ok
[12:57] <corevette> uagrit: mount: can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:57] <RamiKassab> if I have a shared server development server where multiple projects are hosted on this server, do I only need one CVS repository? In this case, do I just create modules (projects) for each project hosted on the server?
[12:57] <RamiKassab> furthermore, how do I password protect the modules (projects) so that only certain developers can access certain modules?
[12:57] <RamiKassab> and let's say one developer is working on two of these projects, can I give him one username that has access to multiple modules?
[12:57] <dexter_> jak ty to robisz ze nie dziala ?
[12:58] <diskus> !offtopic
[12:58] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:58] <juano__> nikitis: any luck??
[12:58] <corevette> frogzoo....what are the differences between sata or ide??? if i do mount /dev/hdb i get: mount: can't find /dev/hdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:58] <high-freq> ramikassab: try and see if chown by certain groups or sumtin...if thats what your gettin at...put certain people in a certain group and only they can access that area
[12:58] <mariusz> to nie ja jestem znawca ubuntu :P !!
[12:59] <DavoFrom818> ok
[12:59] <DavoFrom818> i have ubuntu vmware edition and its not seeing the ethernet why?
[01:00] <juano__> corevette: you cant do mount /dev/hdb , you need to give a mount point
[01:00] <eternalswd> I've finally come to the point that I want to ditch my windows partition alltogether.  Are there any special things I need to do to get grub set up correctly for next boot?  Can I join the old windows partition with the ubuntu partition once it's formatted to ext3?
[01:00] <corevette> where do i mount juano__
[01:00] <juano__> corevette: mount /dev/hdb /media/myotherHDD
[01:00] <oddmanout> eternalswd: with luck and backups
[01:00] <nomasteryoda> no
[01:00] <juano__> corevette: sudo mkdir /media/hdb
[01:01] <juano__> corevette: sudo mount /dev/hdb /media/hdb
[01:01] <RamiKassab> high-freq: by default, does cvs allow every local machine user to access all modules?
[01:01] <nomasteryoda> eternalswd, just umount it then mount after formatting as ext3 using gparted
[01:01] <virtu> janga, I ran the Install and still the same error :(
[01:01] <juano__> corevette: then go into /media/hdb
[01:01] <nikitis> juano__: no still trying to figure it out
[01:01] <high-freq> not too sure on cvs..i never set one up....could be possible tho
[01:01] <juano__> corevette: plus you need to mount a partition from there
[01:01] <corevette> juano__ mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[01:01] <juano__> corevette: needs to be hdb1
[01:02] <juano__> corevette: you cant /dev/hdb , has to be /dev/hdb1 or hdb2
[01:02] <juano__> corevette: you need to specify the partition number
[01:02] <RamiKassab> high-freq: is it better to create different repositories for each development project and just load modules associated with that dev project within it's respective repo?
[01:02] <DavoFrom818> why does no one answer me
[01:02] <high-freq> cuz its your nick
[01:02] <juano__> corevette: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb
[01:02] <nomasteryoda> DavoFrom818, whats the question/
[01:02] <DavoFrom818> serious man
[01:02] <corevette> juano__ there is no hdb1: mount: special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist
[01:03] <DavoFrom818> ok im running the ubuntu server for vmware
[01:03] <Xenguy> nomasteryoda: /lastlog DavoFrom818   ?
[01:03] <DavoFrom818> and i dont see the ethernet for some reason
[01:03] <high-freq> ramikassab: that might work..but then again...cvs might allow u to create the end users like ftp and such
[01:03] <juano__> corevette: sudo fdisk -l and pastebin
[01:04] <mena> What if i dowenload the last azureus app then i want to install it as i installed it from the adept is that could be
[01:04] <nomasteryoda> DavoFrom818, well try this... sudo network-admin
[01:04] <nomasteryoda> check settings there
[01:04] <DavoFrom818> says command not found
[01:04] <nomasteryoda> mena, sudo dpkg -i azureus.deb
[01:04] <dropsl> hi
[01:04] <nomasteryoda> if it is a deb
[01:04] <drx> hello
[01:05] <dropsl> please help me, i have a directory called "OwnFiles$" now i cant remove it or delete it, because the attribute of the folder is: ?--------- ? and even root can't delete etc...
[01:05] <nomasteryoda> welcome dropsl
[01:05] <mena> its in tar
[01:05] <dropsl> its probaly because of the $ in the name....
[01:05] <juano__> mena: then youll have to compile
[01:05] <nomasteryoda> ah
[01:05] <corevette> juano__ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3401/
[01:05] <DavoFrom818> nomasteryoda says  command not found
[01:05] <juano__> mena: tar -xvf azureusname.tar
[01:05] <mena> juano__, you mean make a packdge
[01:05] <nomasteryoda> DavoFrom818, you did sudo?
[01:05] <nikitis> How do I restore my xorg.conf?  My xorg.conf_backup got screwed around with on accident
[01:05] <drx> i issued a copy command on a large file (3GB) and now GNOME has locked up, I'm afraid to stop it because the file I'm moving is important & took hours to make.
[01:05] <DavoFrom818> yes
[01:05] <mena> juano__, okay
[01:06] <frogzoo> dropsl: root can delete pretty much everything
[01:06] <DavoFrom818> nomasteryoda: "sudo: network-admin: command not found"
[01:06] <dropsl> now even ls -l does not work, it justs hangs
[01:06] <juano__> corevette: you dont have partitions in your second HDD , your hdb
[01:06] <nomasteryoda> DavoFrom818, this is ubuntu?
[01:06] <dropsl> frogzoo: ls -l does not work in the folder containing that "OwnFiles$"...
[01:06] <DavoFrom818> yes
[01:06] <DavoFrom818> ubuntu server
[01:06] <juano__> corevette: you need to partition that HDD first
[01:06] <corevette> how juano__
[01:07] <dropsl> frogzoo: the attributes say, the file has no creator no date and no attributes...
[01:07] <juano__> corevette: is this HDD new?
[01:07] <frogzoo> dropsl: well if those permissions are right, you can't enter the directory
[01:07] <corevette> juano__ not really n
[01:07] <corevette> o
[01:07] <Xenguy> drx: maybe run 'top' to see whether the 'cp' is still in process  ?
[01:07] <juano__> corevette: i mean, you never partitioned this HDD before right? does it have anything inside ?
[01:07] <frogzoo> dropsl: if the directory has $ in it, escape it with \
[01:07] <dropsl> frogzoo: konqueror just does not show it. in the bash it was shown with those attributes, but now ls -l does not work, so i can't see those attributes...
[01:08] <dropsl> frogzoo: yeah i do so...
[01:08] <DavoFrom818> nomasteryoda any ideas?
[01:08] <corevette> oh nothing inside juano__.....but i have partitioned it NTFS....but not anymore
[01:08] <janga> virtu, from the site: "This icon indicates that the desklet has been proved to be not working with the latest gDesklets version (0.35.3)"

[01:10] <juano__> corevette: gksudo gparted?
[01:10] <janga> virtu, i havent used gdesklets for a long time, bur for temperature you have to install lm-sensors and then run sensors-detect.
[01:10] <dropsl> frogzoo: the folder was created by smb4k by mounting a windows share... so it obiously created the folder wrong...?
[01:10] <DavoFrom818> omg he ditched me

[01:12] <virtu> janga, ok thanks anyway
[01:12] <corevette> ok i'm at gparted juano__
[01:12] <frogzoo> dropsl: you're quite wrong - ls -ld will show that folder
[01:12] <juano__> corevette: ok, select your HDB hard disk at top right
[01:12] <corevette> yup
[01:12] <juano__> corevette: is it empty ?
[01:12] <corevette> yes juano__
[01:12] <Xenguy> drx: how's it look?
[01:13] <dropsl> frogzoo: here is the output of the ls -ld: "ls: OwnFiles$: Input/output error"
[01:13] <corevette> all unallocated juano
[01:13] <juano__> corevette: ok, well you can partition your HDD with this program
[01:13] <corevette> primary partition juano__?
[01:13] <corevette> or extended juano__
[01:13] <juano__> corevette: depends on what you want to do with it
[01:13] <janga> DavoFrom818, what does "ifconfig" say?
[01:13] <miehe> who are french
[01:13] <corevette> what does either do juano__
[01:13] <frogzoo> dropsl: create a new terminal & try ls -ld again
[01:13] <juano__> corevette: what you want to do with this HDD ?
[01:13] <DavoFrom818> janga all i have is Lo
[01:13] <miehe> who are french
[01:14] <corevette> put stuff on it....under the hdd i'm using now
[01:14] <juano__> corevette: leave it for extra space for linux? or for windows ? or install another OS on it?
[01:14] <corevette> extra space juano__
[01:14] <miehe> how to install emacs on linux
[01:14] <frogzoo> !fr | miehe
[01:14] <ubotu> miehe: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[01:14] <tommason> Well here is a less intrusive version of the error.. E: libapache2-mod-geoip: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127
[01:14] <janga> DavoFrom818, then "lspci" and look if nic has been found.
[01:15] <dropsl> frogzoo: it just says the same error as previously...
[01:15] <juano__> corevette: ok, this is the deal, if you make filesystem ext3, it wont be accesable by windows, BUT, if you format to ntfs you can use it for windows and linux extra space, cause from linux you can access ntfs
[01:15] <corevette> i don't have windows juano__
[01:15] <dropsl> frogzoo: does there exists a fix utility that checks for inconsistency oder something?
[01:15] <corevette> nor do i want it juano
[01:15] <juano__> corevette: hehehe ok
[01:15] <juano__> corevette: then just format the whole thing to ext3
[01:15] <kitche> dropsl: there is fsck like checkdisk
[01:15] <tommason> I have tried using apt-get remove and and using the synaptic package manager but I am still unable to remove mod-geoip.. Never should have installed it in the first place..
[01:15] <DavoFrom818> yeah i see ethernet controller
[01:16] <corevette> extended partition juano__?
[01:16] <DavoFrom818> janga yeah i see ethernet controller
[01:16] <|Shadow|> yay, ubuntu install complete
[01:16] <|Shadow|> :D
[01:16] <frogzoo> dropsl: is this directory within a samba share?
[01:16] <juano__> corevette: yes first make extended
[01:16] <dropsl> frogzoo: no it is on my local /home partition
[01:16] <corevette> then apply juano__?
[01:16] <juano__> corevette: then make a logic partition with ext3 filesystem type
[01:16] <juano__> corevette: not yet
[01:16] <janga> DavoFrom818, then try "sudo ifconfig 192.168.0.1"
[01:17] <dropsl> frogzoo: the weird thing is that i moved it to trash without problems, but now i just doesn't want to go away
[01:17] <frogzoo> dropsl: well what does smb4k have to do with it?
[01:17] <juano__> corevette: after making extended, make a logic partition with ext3 filesystem type
[01:17] <miehe> who are french
[01:17] <DavoFrom818> janga says device not found
[01:17] <jelloman> guys
[01:17] <juano__> corevette: this is over your extended

[01:17] <corevette> how big juano__
[01:17] <corevette> oh ok juano__
[01:17] <juano__> corevette: as big as you want
[01:17] <dropsl> frogzoo: smb4k creates a folder  and mounts the network share in it
[01:18] <juano__> corevette: that depends on how much space of the HDD you want to use for extra space
[01:18] <dropsl> frogzoo: perhabs i should reboot...
[01:18] <corevette> ext3 on top of an extended juano__?
[01:18] <janga> DavoFrom818, so what is the name of the nic in lspci?
[01:18] <|Shadow|> lol yay, 116 updates
[01:18] <linuxnewbie756> i need to chmod /var/lib/tor, i tried sudo chmod -R 1000, not sure what it needs to be, but i want it so that tor will work
[01:18] <ugarit> any recommendations for good partitioning for an enterprise level server
[01:18] <juano__> corevette: ext3 will be your logical partition that lies in your extended partition

[01:20] <juano__> corevette: yes, check to see if everything is ok, if everything was made on hdb and NOT hda and that your partitions are what you want
[01:20] <n1sxk> hi
[01:20] <frogzoo> willys_fueguino: see /var/log/messages & /var/log/syslog

[01:22] <juano__> nikitis: cat /etc/modules ?
[01:22] <cablesm102> Can anyone explain to me why anyone would use apt-get and not aptitude?
[01:22] <juano__> nikitis: is there an nvidia line in there ?
[01:22] <frogzoo> cablesm102: apt-get's pretty bullet proof
[01:22] <dropsl> hi
[01:22] <juano__> corevette: ok then , there is only one big partition thats deb hdb5 right ?
[01:22] <cablesm102> frogzoo, Aptitude isn't?
[01:23] <nikitis> juano__: i just uninstalled everything.  Can you open a private chat with me
[01:23] <eternalswd> how do I manually mount a new ext3 partition?
[01:23] <frogzoo> cablesm102: apt-get's never given me problems
[01:23] <corevette> yes juano
[01:23] <dropsl> frogzoo: just wanted to say that after a reboot i could delete the folder... really weird. but thanks for your help!! :)
[01:23] <Jas-Nix_> eternalswd: mount /path/to/device /path/to/directory
[01:23] <juano__> corevette: ok then everything seems good, apply then
[01:24] <Fusheh> Heya, I just restarted up ubuntu and I'm getting "GDM xserver not found". Now trying to execute a file that doesnt exist is what the problem is. How would I change this to get xserver working again?
[01:24] <corevette> juano i did a sudo mount /dev/hdb5 /media/hdb       it looked like it works
[01:24] <DavoFrom818> anyone that can help me get this thing up and running?

[01:24] <corevette> thx juano

[01:25] <tommason> So what should I do with about the issue with mod-geoip.. I am new to ubuntu and have been able to figure most things out but this has me stumped
[01:25] <corevette> ok juano__
[01:25] <juano__> corevette: or from nautilus just go to /media/hdb
[01:25] <nofxx> Jas-Nix: i guess ffmpeg can do it
[01:25] <corevette> yup
[01:25] <eternalswd> Jas-Nix, what would I do in fstab to get it to automount after I reboot?  would it be something like /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ext3 defaults 0 1?
[01:25] <juano__> corevette: thats 80 GB free to use ;-) now
[01:25] <janga> DavoFrom818, sorry i dont know you probably have to modprobe the right module. Is it a AMD onboard chip?
[01:25] <cablesm102> Can anyone explain the advantages of apt-get over aptitude? it seems like every guide I read specifies apt-get, even though Aptitude has more powerful dependency handling.
[01:25] <ubuntu> hi!
[01:25] <arthus> hullo
[01:25] <Jas-Nix> eternalswd: ya kinda like that..

[01:26] <aridese> cablesm102: im sorry
[01:26] <corevette> thanks juano__!
[01:26] <Jas-Nix> DavoFrom818: where did you get that command from ?
[01:26] <aridese> cablesm102: it's just debian standard
[01:26] <DavoFrom818> google.com
[01:26] <Jas-Nix> DavoFrom818: can you link me to a webpage or something ?
[01:26] <juano__> corevette: anytime!
[01:26] <frogzoo> !helpme | arthus
[01:26] <ubotu> arthus: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:26] <cablesm102> aridese, so is aptitude. Are there any other reasons for sticking with apt-get?
[01:26] <thisheregiraffe> cablesm102, i've always stuck with aptitude, because of the dependency handling..
[01:26] <nonades> I'm having trouble with crontab, can anyone help me with it?
[01:26] <|Shadow|> if anyones got some time can they help me to set up my xorg.conf file for dual monitors?
[01:26] <juano__> corevette: that formatting was quick lol
[01:26] <cablesm102> thisheregiraffe, same here... juts wondering why most guides specify apt-get.
[01:26] <frogzoo> arthus: don't be vague
[01:26] <DavoFrom818> shoot i copied and pased one sec let me goole it again
[01:26] <Fusheh> Heya, I just restarted up ubuntu and I'm getting "GDM xserver not found". Now trying to execute a file that doesnt exist is what the problem is. How would I change this to get xserver working again?
[01:26] <corevette> yup juano
[01:26] <juano__> corevette: is it a SATA?
[01:27] <corevette> how do i tell juano
[01:27] <Jas-Nix> uh..
[01:27] <thisheregiraffe> cablesm102, it's a slightly shorter command to type?  who knows--i've never noticed a huge difference
[01:27] <Jas-Nix> oops, wrong term
[01:27] <kitche> cablesm102: they do the same thing just use what one you like better but one advantage with aptitude is the dependency following and that's about it
[01:27] <Jas-Nix> DavoFrom818: thanks
[01:27] <Jas-Nix> DavoFrom818: is it a linux app, I don't have winblowz installed.
[01:27] <nofxx> Kernel panic on the clients with LTSP.... clients are semprom 64.... server ubuntu 6.10 i386
[01:27] <juano__> corevette: well at the BIOS maybe, or else just open up the PC and look at the plug from the HDD to the motherboard
[01:27] <nofxx> any hel
[01:28] <tommason> well I guess if I can't get it uninstalled I will be making the switch to gentoo.. been trying to avoid doing it but.. Now is as good a time as any to do it..
[01:28] <frogzoo> corevette: for x in a b c d ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd$x ; done
[01:28] <arthus> I need to set my resolution to 1440x900, but it does not go up to that in resolution options
[01:28] <juano__> corevette: if its grey and wide its IDE if its a red thin cable its SATA mostly
[01:28] <Moosebuntu> Can someone help me setup Freenet on Ubuntu GNU/LInux?  I'm getting errors when running the commands shown here: http://freenetproject.org/download.html
[01:28] <corevette> yup my pc is open juano.....its a skinny + long gray wire
[01:28] <Ralith> hey, I'm having trouble getting my flash plugin working
[01:28] <corevette> *wires juano__
[01:28] <Ralith> I've installed flashplugin-nonfree
[01:28] <Ralith> and checked that the ~/.mozilla/plugins link is correct
[01:28] <juano__> corevette: is it very wide?
[01:28] <willys_fueguino> Hi everyone... I need to know where is the log of the messages from tty8?? (It seems that isn't on /var/log*)
[01:28] <Ralith> but it doesn't work in firefox
[01:29] <eternalswd> Jas-Nix, what exactly is the pass option for?
[01:29] <corevette> the metal prongs it plugs into is about 2 x 25ish juano__
[01:29] <Jas-Nix> eternalswd: pass ?
[01:29] <cablesm102> Ralith, flashplugin-nonfree installs Flash 7. You probably want Flash 9, which may be more compatible with websites. Maybe you're testing on a site that requires Flash 9.
[01:30] <eternalswd> Jas-Nix, the last number in an fstab line.
[01:30] <arthus> I need to set my resolution to 1440x900, but it does not go up to that in resolution options

[01:30] <juano__> corevette: corevette well if the cable is the same as the CD device then it sure is an IDE
[01:30] <DavoFrom818> !fixres|arthus do it by hand
[01:30] <juano__> corevette: if it is very different its a SATA
[01:30] <corevette> yup juano
[01:30] <nonades> I'm having trouble with crontab, can anyone help me with it? pm me
[01:30] <tommason> Ok I guess no one knows anything about mod-geoip and why I would be unable to remove it
[01:30] <corevette> nope
[01:31] <juano__> corevette: should be IDE then
[01:31] <josephduchesne> hello
[01:31] <jkillaz> why does my font looks so bad?
[01:32] <jkillaz> I already tried different settings using System -> Pref -> Fonts
[01:32] <jkillaz> but still this is not great
[01:32] <Ralith> jkillaz, are you running a nonnative resolution on an LCD display?
[01:33] <jkillaz> Im using the only resolution available on my laptop
[01:33] <FlyingSquirrel33> how can I find my default gateway if my interface was configured via dhcp?
[01:33] <Jas-Nix> DavoFrom818: did you find it...?
[01:33] <jkillaz> 1024x768 on a Dell Latitude D610
[01:33] <mena> juano__,
[01:33] <thisheregiraffe> FlyingSquirrel33, i think the ifconfig command ought to tell you what you need
[01:33] <kitche> FlyingSquirrel33: type in sudo route and see what is default
[01:33] <Fusheh> "GDM Xserver not found" I keep getting this error when I try to start ubuntu. GDM is trying to execute a file that doesnt exist. How can I correct this? I know I have xserver installed I assume I just need to point it towards it! :O
[01:34] <FlyingSquirrel33> thisheregiraffe: no
[01:34] <mena> juano__, i want to make my system use 128128 size of icones just this
[01:34] <FlyingSquirrel33> kitche: yes
[01:34] <mena> juano__, how to do
[01:34] <willys_fueguino> Hi everyone... I need to know where is the log of the messages from tty8?? (It seems that isn't on /var/log*)
[01:34] <FlyingSquirrel33> thisheregiraffe, kitche: Thanks.
[01:34] <josephduchesne> I just changed my login options and now instead of a login screen I get a grey screen with an X mouse and after that nothing happens at all. How can I turn automatic login back on?
[01:35] <mena> juano__, never mind i find it
[01:36] <codi> if i just installed a new version of wine through add/remove programs, shouldn't it be the newest available?
[01:37] <kitche> codi: depends if it came right from winhq.com
[01:37] <dm_> I have a daemon that keeps crashing on me, is there anyway to have it AUTORESTART the daemon if it crashes?
[01:37] <nonades> Can anyone here help me wiht crontab?
[01:37] <chona> hi i just need help..i'm trying to install Apache PHP  and MySQL... the first two seemed okay, but i dont think i successfully installed mysql...
[01:37] <hikenboot__> can anyone tell me what path is the default path for the install of firefox/mozilla/opera ...is there a command that would tell me this without searching with find or locate? which doesnt seem to give me the right path either
[01:37] <Jas-Nix> kitche: are you the same one thats in #sourcemage?
[01:37] <Flannel> codi: no.  Ubuntu versions (versions of programs per each ubuntu repository) are frozen each release.  Which is why, for instance, Dapper has FF1.5, and wont ever have 2.0
[01:37] <codi> i guess it didn't, cause it's a bit behind. can i now just run apt update to get the newest?
[01:38] <cablesm102> nonades, for a guide to crontab, use the command "man crontab"
[01:38] <Flannel> hikenboot__: which path does it give?
[01:38] <Flannel> codi: only the newest in the repository
[01:38] <kitche> Jas-Nix: yes haven't worked on SourceMage in a long time though
[01:38] <nonades> That doesn't help
[01:38] <Jas-Nix> ya me either
[01:38] <chona> please help...
[01:38] <Flannel> !lamp | chona
[01:38] <ubotu> chona: 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+)
[01:39] <codi> ok, so what are my options then, if i already have the newest in the repo, and i need newer than that
[01:39] <hikenboot__> which gives /usr/bin/mozilla ...the tar.gz for flash doesnt seem to like it
[01:39] <Flannel> chona: that URL has all the info you need
[01:39] <Jas-Nix> we worked on getting aiglx going together
[01:39] <andriijas> i have 2 sound cards, i dont wish to use the default one, how do i change?
[01:39] <Flannel> hikenboot__: install flash from the repositories, in backports
[01:39] <chona> thanks ubotu..
[01:39] <|Shadow|> can anyone please help me with xorg.conf? i have a dual head graphics card with another monitor and i wish to enable it with ubuntu
[01:39] <Jas-Nix> kitche: ^^
[01:39] <hikenboot__> ok thanks
[01:40] <KillerT> |Shadow|: ati or nvidia?
[01:40] <andriijas> !sound
[01:40] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:40] <|Shadow|> KillerT ATI
[01:40] <Fusheh> GDM keeps telling me xserver not found. Where is the config file that I have to edit to direct GDM to my xserver?
[01:40] <codi> can i add the wine repository and then update?
[01:41] <kitche> Fusheh: it finds xserver automatically\
[01:41] <Flannel> !wine | codi, yeah that's what you'll end up doing.  Well, removing and installing
[01:41] <ubotu> codi, yeah that's what you'll end up doing.  Well, removing and installing: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:41] <KillerT> |Shadow|: basically u make two screens that point to the same device
[01:41] <Fusheh> Well it cant find it, it keeps trying to execute a file that doesnt exist.
[01:41] <codi> remove, aww man
[01:41] <BrendanM> So I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000, what would be the best driver for me to use, the open source ones or ATI's fglrx proprietary drivers?
[01:42] <codi> here comes a complete reinstall. i know it
[01:42] <|Shadow|> KillerT like if i just copy and paste the Section "Screen" ?
[01:42] <Flannel> codi: no no, just of wine
[01:42] <BrunoSilva> quit
[01:42] <codi> yah, and beryl is a piece of cake to setup
[01:42] <codi> but then uh oh, x won't start
[01:42] <KillerT> |Shadow|: hold on i use nvidia but with my old ati i think there was one thing needed to be changed let me go look
[01:42] <|Shadow|> KillerT ok thanks :)
[01:43] <Fusheh> Codi: Thats kinda my problem lol D:
[01:43] <Flannel> codi: neither beryl, nor wine are supported directly by Ubuntu, but wine should be fine, you'll just be removing the one you just installed, and installing a different version.
[01:43] <Fusheh> I'm stuck using lynx and irssi! Oh noes D:
[01:44] <codi> yah, adding a repository is something of a challenge too
[01:44] <KillerT> |Shadow|: is it a dvi and vga port or two vga ports?
[01:44] <codi> 8 different ways i've read about
[01:44] <|Shadow|> KillerT it has one vga port, and one vga like port thats about twice the length, with a convert on it to make it vga
[01:44] <|Shadow|> i don't know what the second port is called though :P
[01:45] <codi> wheres that sources.lst?
[01:45] <Flannel> codi: there are hardly eight.  Well, I suppose there could be.  But ultimately, you'll just be editing your sources.list, whether that's through a text editor, or a GUI frontend.
[01:45] <Flannel> codi: /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:45] <KillerT> |Shadow|: prob dvi to vga
[01:45] <|Shadow|> KillerT yea its a dvi, just found some pictures on google :)
[01:46] <codi> ok, so i've added the rep to my list
[01:46] <codi> now i use add/remove to uninstall the old wine?
[01:46] <KillerT> |Shadow|: I've never done dvi to vga i am not sure if u need to pass extra options...I know with dvi to hdmi setup (one for my 36" hdtv) I had to pass extra options
[01:46] <Flannel> codi: er, probably would work.  A more failsafe method -- sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
[01:47] <Flannel> codi: I'm not sure if add/remove will remove config files
[01:47] <|Shadow|> hmm, well i guess we can allways try and if not just put the file back to how it was?
[01:47] <KillerT> |Shadow|: http://tonywhitmore.co.uk/blog/2006/02/07/dual-head-on-ati-radeon-9200-se-under-ubuntu/ has an example of a dual head configuration u can kinda try but u may need change here and there
[01:47] <|Shadow|> KillerT ok i'll look at that :)
[01:47] <codi> ok, wines been removed through the purge, now what?
[01:47] <Flannel> codi: install the wine from the wine repository
[01:47] <codi> should add/remove pick up on the new repository
[01:48] <codi> or do i use synaptic?
[01:48] <Flannel> codi: no, add/remove only has a small fixed set of programs, you'll want to use synaptic
[01:48] <Fusheh> GDM: Xserver not found: /usr/local/bin/Xg1 :0 :0 ......(some more stuff here) || This is my error, there is no /usr/local/Xg1. Anyone know a fix or at least guide me in the right direction to solving this problem? xD
[01:48] <codi> question: if i were to install something through add/remove, could i uninstall it through synaptic?
[01:48] <ubuntu> i tried to install edgy from a fat32 device
[01:48] <ubuntu> and i managed to boot it
[01:48] <codi> is it more or less the same thing, just synaptic has advanced features?
[01:49] <ubuntu> and to debootstrap manually
[01:49] <Flannel> codi: yes, just like youjust removed it with apt-get, they all work with the same packages
[01:49] <ubuntu> now i don't know what to do
[01:49] <ubuntu> to setup grub
[01:49] <Flannel> !grub  | ubuntu, first link
[01:49] <ubotu> ubuntu, 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
[01:49] <kritical> I'm trying to add scp to my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file... does anyone know how to do this? if not does anyone know what command scp executes remotely?
[01:50] <KillerT> ubuntu: is there anyway u could change ur name for me?
[01:50] <|Shadow|> KillerT if i use his exact xorg.conf file, does it stand a high chance of working?
[01:50] <Jas-Nix> Does anyone know how to burn .mkv movie files to DVD ? I would like to convert them to .VOB files
[01:50] <KillerT> |Shadow|: no
[01:50] <|Shadow|> or should i pull out the monitors and screens section and try that
[01:50] <|Shadow|> (i made a backup of my xorg.conf so i can allways go back)
[01:50] <Fusheh> Hey is this how the graphical end of *nix works (Or in ubuntu's case at least) Xserver - GDM...is there more in the middle or what?
[01:50] <Eons> killerT sorry I didn
[01:50] <KillerT> Eons: Thanks your the bomb
[01:50] <Eons> t noticed =)
[01:51] <KillerT> |Shadow|: You need to adjust it to your settings
[01:51] <kitche> Fusheh: Xserver is needed for a graphical system
[01:51] <nikin> i have a notebook here with sis 650 GFX card and it does not support dri. do i stand any chance on running compiz on this?
[01:51] <Fusheh> Yeah, but does it load Xserver then GDM
[01:51] <Fusheh> Anything after or before or in the middle?
[01:51] <|Shadow|> KillerT ah, i think i get the idea
[01:51] <kitche> Fusheh: gdm loads xserver
[01:51] <Fusheh> Ahh okay thank you
[01:51] <ranzabau> hello everybody
[01:52] <Fusheh> So gdm looks for an xserver to load, what config file controls this?
[01:52] <kitche> Fusheh: but xserver is what's underneath gdm though
[01:52] <nikin> inst there a fake dri or something like that avilable?
[01:52] <KillerT> nikin: fake?
[01:53] <Fusheh> kitche: That just mind raped me :o || Meaning you need xserver to load gdm which loads xserver :o
[01:53] <cameotwat> gparted is saying it can't resize my NTFS partition (using a live CD here)
[01:53] <nikin> KillerT: this GFX card has no dri support at all so compiz doesnot start i get an error: "no managable svreens"
[01:53] <nikin> screens*
[01:54] <codi> so should i always use synaptic if i can?
[01:54] <Flannel> codi: it doesn't matter
[01:54] <KillerT> nikin: what card?
[01:54] <codi> well if it gets me newer versions of software, wouldn't that be better?
[01:55] <nikin> KillerT : as far as i know its a SIS 650
[01:55] <KillerT> ew
[01:55] <shmeelAway> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not get/set settings from/on resource. dang, my USB wireless music thing won't work
[01:55] <KillerT> nikin: sorry i wouldn't be able to help you havn't ran a sis in say 6 years
[01:55] <Eons> Flannel: hey thanks
[01:55] <fluvvell> what are the minimum requirements for an xserver, say on a server machine i just want vncviewer to run. (so I can look at pcs on the network)
[01:55] <Eons> i didn't remember correctly
[01:56] <Eons> it was update-grub
[01:56] <fluvvell> !xserver
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:57] <codi> hmm, the wine repository from the help.ubuntu page doesn't bring up the newest version, only the old version i just uninstalled
[01:57] <Eons> and not grub-update
[01:57] <kitche> fluvvell: depends what you use gnome tends to like 128 mb but cna run on 64mb minium
[01:57] <arthus> I need help fixing xserver
[01:57] <arthus> It will not start
[01:57] <arthus> !display
[01:57] <arthus> ! resolution
[01:57] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:57] <chona> hi ubotu...thanks i think i had successfullt installed it...would it work even if i was no able to instal phpmyadmin??
[01:57] <KillerT> fluvvell: I'm pretty sure all ur required to have is some type of xserver installed no window manager is needed as u will be viewing the one over the network
[01:58] <codi> aha, i had to grab a key or something, now it shows the newest
[01:58] <fluvvell> KillerT, yes I've biffed in xserver-xorg, but not sure how to start it
[01:58] <TW> Is there a link that tells you how to decide if you want 6.06 LTS vs 6.10 ?
[01:58] <kitche> fluvvell: startx will start X
[01:59] <codi> how do i know what repositories i still need keys for?
[01:59] <kitche> chona: ubotu is a bot
[01:59] <KillerT> fluvvell: there are tiny x s made for exactly what u r doing too btw
[01:59] <jrib> TW: if you don't want to upgrade for 5 years, then use dapper.  If you need the latest software ubuntu provides and don't mind upgrading every 6-18 months, use 6.10
[01:59] <TW> great
[01:59] <TW> thx
[02:00] <TW> so 6.10 is still upgradable, just more often :)
[02:00] <KillerT> I'm using dapper because i am lazy
[02:00] <tim167> how do i delay a command in the shell ? (pause ? delay ? wait ?)
[02:00] <KillerT> TW: dapper is supported for 5 years so u don't hafta upgrade
[02:00] <BearPerson> sleep
[02:00] <TW> when you upgrade does it keep all your settings or is it like a full reinstall?
[02:00] <KillerT> TW: both upgradable
[02:00] <fluvvell> KillerT, any good examples?
[02:00] <tim167> BearPerson oh yes that one! tanks
[02:01] <Flannel> KillerT, TW: three years on the desktop, five on the server.
[02:01] <tigerflyer> what command do u use in order to see the kind of filesystem a partition uses?
[02:01] <KillerT> flannel Xvnx
[02:01] <KillerT> Flannel:  Xvnc
[02:01] <Ferret> tim167: sleep 5s; sleep 10m; sleep infinity
[02:01] <Flannel> TW: upgrades are upgrades, it keeps all your configs
[02:01] <TW> excellent... Thanks very much...
[02:01] <TW> Unbuntu here I come :)
[02:01] <|Shadow|> KillerT uhh, my cards running off the default drivers, and theres many diffrences to my xorg.conf and the one in the example
[02:02] <|Shadow|> im not really sure how to edit it :(
[02:02] <tigerflyer> what command do u use in order to see the kind of file system a partition uses?
[02:02] <theherbalizer> hey guys, how do i format an ext3 disk in 6.10?
[02:03] <Eons> do i need to do something else to complete install? i've debootstrapped, installed ubuntu-desktop and a kernel image (grub is ok)
[02:03] <kitche> theherbalizer: there is two ways but I do it mke2fs -j /dev/<disk>
[02:03] <KillerT> |Shadow|: Well, I would start by suggesting installing the ati drivers which might even recognize and configure some settings for you automatically
[02:03] <kitche> theherbalizer: that makes it ext3
[02:03] <Eon_>  I followed this guide ( https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html ) to install Xorg-driver-fglrx for my Ati card,  and it sais that installing xorg will activate 3d rendering. It didnt do that for me. What else can I do to get "direct rendering: yes" when i look at glxinfo ?
[02:03] <josephduchesne> does anyone know why I would get a black screen with a X mouse on starting ubuntu?
[02:03] <soberon> hello
[02:03] <Eons> also, fstab is ok, too
[02:03] <|Shadow|> KillerT cool, arn't the drivers card specific for this?
[02:03] <|Shadow|> im not doing very well searching for EAX1600PRO drivers lol
[02:04] <theherbalizer> kitche: will that completely wipe it?
[02:04] <kitche> theherbalizer: it will do a full format
[02:04] <KillerT> |Shadow|: one sec
[02:04] <theherbalizer> kitche: thanks
[02:04] <josephduchesne> or is there any way to reset all boot options?
[02:04] <Gwanky> hi
[02:04] <Gwanky> I'm having trouble with Xserver
[02:04] <KillerT> Gwanky: hi
[02:05] <KillerT> gwanky: join the ranks
[02:05] <|Shadow|> KillerT scratch that, i found linux ati drivers :)
[02:05] <Gwanky> I have a 7600GT, do I need to download someupdated drivers or something?
[02:05] <KillerT> |Shadow|: I found it right as u said so too :oP
[02:05] <|Shadow|> lol :P
[02:05] <KillerT> radeon x1600
[02:05] <Gwanky> And does Ubuntu 4.10 support PCI-Express
[02:05] <Gwanky> ?
[02:06] <eegore> I have a mangled file system with a had super block, is there anyway to recover it?
[02:06] <|Shadow|> hmm, no clue what version of xfree86 i have
[02:06] <Jas-Nix> Gwanky: yes it does
[02:06] <eegore> [17179621.588000]  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdd1.
[02:06] <KillerT> u have xorg
[02:06] <Jas-Nix> eegore: have you tried fsck?
[02:06] <KillerT> |Shadow|: most likely
[02:06] <Gwanky> Jas-Nix:Whenever I run the xserver config thing it simply says that its on the PCI Bus
[02:06] <eegore> yep and it balks
[02:07] <|Shadow|> ah ok, so the one that says "Automated installer and display drivers for XFree 86 4.3 and X.Org <list of version numbers here>"
[02:07] <KillerT> |Shadow|: word up
[02:07] <RancidLM> hey all im trying to get dual screen working in ubuntu, i got it set up correctly.. when i log into another profile the dual screens work great but when i log into my profile one monitor turns off and only one works.. what do i have to remove in my profile to get dual monitors working?
[02:07] <kidko> Has anybody encountered problems with Xorg after trying to install Beryl?
[02:07] <|Shadow|> RancidLM join the "Im trying to get dual screen working in ubuntu" club lol
[02:08] <kidko> I just tried, and then X crashed, and will not go past a blank, black screen.
[02:09] <tigerflyer> what command do u use in order to see the kind of file system a partition uses?
[02:09] <kitche> Gwanky: well PCI bus is PCi-E pci-E is just an updated version of PCI so of course it will say that
[02:09] <KillerT> RancidLM: What differs from ur profile to the others? it prob is with the window manager
[02:09] <RancidLM> |Shadow|: well it works perfectly on a empty profile but on my profile it doesn't work right, i fear i will have to remove .gconf .gnome2 but i do not want to lose ALL my settings
[02:09] <Jelloman> how do i set up ubuntu
[02:09] <Jelloman> so that it boots windows
[02:09] <Jelloman> and not ubuntu
[02:09] <Jelloman> so my parents dont have to choose
[02:09] <corevette> is there someway i can mount iso's?
[02:09] <Flannel> Jelloman: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (you'll need to use sudo) and change the `default`
[02:09] <babo>   Jelloman: you want to set up ubuntu so that it boots windows ?
[02:09] <Jas-Nix> Jelloman: you mean so it goes to Win by default ?
[02:09] <Flannel> !iso | corevette
[02:09] <ubotu> corevette: 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
[02:09] <RancidLM> KillerT: the only thing that differs is one is a blank profile and one is a used profile with prevous gnome video settings.. ( i just don't know where  the settings are)
[02:10] <Arigato> does beagle index and search contents of archives?
[02:10] <Gwanky> Kitche:Actually they are completely different technologies, but PCI-e is designed to be transparent so that's proabably right. But question number two, how would I update my nivida drivers from the text only command line
[02:10] <juano__> Jelloman: imposible, you will need a boot menu loader to boot one or the other
[02:10] <Jas-Nix> Gwanky: There's a ton of howto's out there
[02:10] <Jas-Nix> Gwanky: did you google ?
[02:10] <juano__> Jelloman: that is if you want to keep both of them
[02:10] <juano__> Jelloman: windows & ubuntu
[02:11] <KillerT> RancidLM: can u take an empty profile's gnome files and compare it with ur own
[02:11] <Gwanky> Jelloman:Try configuring windows MBR to load windows by defualt unless a certain keystorke is punched in
[02:11] <Jas-Nix> first hit
[02:11] <Jas-Nix> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074
[02:11] <Gwanky> Jelloman:Thats how I have it set up to run OSx86
[02:12] <juano__> Jelloman: ahh probably you want to make windows the default loading
[02:12] <juano__> Jelloman: follow Flannel instructions
[02:12] <Gwanky> Jelloman:Its possible to hide the MBR unless a keystroke is hit to bring it up, I just forgot how
[02:12] <KillerT> RancidLM: This is probably something u will need to play with on ur own as it will be very difficult for a third party to assist without being right there
[02:12] <alienseer23> my evolution calendar won't load, but I found it's source file, how do I recover it?
[02:12] <RancidLM> KillerT: thats what i have been doing at this point i know that a Empty gnome profile will enable dual screens but im unsure what exactly causing this problem.. is it gnome panel.. is it metacity.. i have no clue..
[02:12] <Flannel> Jelloman: ah yes, and "hidemenu" will hide the grub menu, so they'll have no choice to boot to windows (unless they hit escape, then they get the grub menu)
[02:13] <alienseer23> or at leaste, how do I reset the gnome calendar without restarting x?
[02:13] <Tonren> How do I enable the terminal "write" command?
[02:13] <KillerT> RancidLM: u don't have beryl on ur profile do u?
[02:13] <KillerT> or compiz?
[02:13] <corevette> flannel...how do you unmount....
[02:13] <RancidLM> Killer_: i do but its not running at all. im running metacity
[02:13] <KillerT> corevette: umount
[02:13] <RancidLM> KillerT: i do but its not running at all. im running metacity
[02:13] <juano__> corevette: umount /media/something
[02:14] <juano__> corevette: sudo umount /somethingtoumount
[02:14] <Gwanky> Jelloman:Thats a decent point, it would most likely be easeir to configure GRUB than a hacked copy of bootcamp being emulated over MBR.
[02:14] <KillerT> RancidLM: are u sure? make extra sure beryl isn't running on ur config
[02:15] <KillerT> RancidLM: It causes the symptoms u speak of and could be setup via profile
[02:15] <corevette> whats the command for gnome for restarting the menus and stuff
[02:16] <KillerT> netsplit
[02:16] <theherbalizer> okay, another: i want to add the ext3 disk i just formatted to my filesystem, is there a particular name i need to give it's folder in /mount?
[02:16] <Jelloman> please try to find it

[02:16] <jvai> beryl is designed for edgy but not dapper?
[02:16] <Jelloman> bc i need to hide it from my dad only
[02:16] <RancidLM> KillerT:  ya its not running at all.. and i have a feeling if remove .gnome2 my problem will be solved.. but its just lossing all my app settings that will be upsetting
[02:16] <corevette> whats the command for restarting gnome?
[02:16] <KillerT> corevette: ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:16] <corevette> i don't want to lose apps killert
[02:16] <Gwanky> guess what
[02:16] <corevette> killert theres a way to just restart gnome
[02:16] <Gwanky> my car responds to voice commands
[02:16] <Flannel> Jelloman: I'm telling you-- change the 'default' uncomment 'hiddenmenu', that's all you need.
[02:16] <marcusgrazette> hey, i'm trying to use php4-gd2 with apache
[02:16] <marcusgrazette> i've installed it, and installed libapache2-mod-php4
[02:16] <marcusgrazette> but i get an error from the php site saying "Please make sure you PHP compiled with GD2."
[02:16] <Gwanky> and the nav computer responds to SIGKILL
[02:16] <KillerT> jvai: beryl is not designed with ubuntu edgy or dapper in mind
[02:17] <kitche> RancidLM: back up .gnome2 then do cp .gnome2 .gnome2bak
[02:17] <nikitis> Guys i'm still having a no direct rendering problem
[02:17] <jvai> oooh ok, but beryl isnt in the dapper repos @killer1
[02:17] <KillerT> jvai: shouldn't be in edgy either
[02:17] <jvai> ??
[02:17] <bruenig> jvai, beryl is third party repo
[02:17] <KillerT> jvai: unless u changed ur sources.list
[02:18] <mnoir> theherbalizer: the name can be anything but you should make it meaningful - i like /mnt/hdxn where hdxn is the partition but /mnt/movies works too
[02:18] <jvai> beryl from source?
[02:18] <mnoir> theherbalizer: as example
[02:18] <bruenig> jvai, not from source, it is third party though. It is not in any of the ubuntu repos. It is in an independent repo
[02:18] <KillerT> jvai: beryl will work on dappper and edgy and most any other distro with the right configuration
[02:18] <theherbalizer> mnoir: gotcha. what do i need to make the mount point?
[02:19] <jvai> oo i got easy ubuntu on this thing... i dont kno how much it deviated from the orig config
[02:19] <Flannel> theherbalizer: mount points are just folders, so 'mkdir'
[02:19] <theherbalizer> Flannel: oh, so it can still be / ?
[02:19] <theherbalizer> Flannel: not required to be unique
[02:19] <mnoir> theherbalizer: what flannel said.  but /mount is not a standard for mount points
[02:19] <Flannel> theherbalizer: no, It has to be something thta stuff isn't already mounted on.
[02:20] <mnoir> theherbalizer: the standard places would be /mnt or /media
[02:20] <|Shadow|> uhh, i downloaded this ati-driver-installer.run
[02:20] <RancidLM> kitche: ya just gonna try that brb
[02:20] <|Shadow|> and its trying to open it with gedit?
[02:20] <bruenig> |Shadow|, chmod +x it
[02:21] <|Shadow|> bruenig i only just loaded ubuntu im new to the whole thing, chmod +x ?
[02:21] <bruenig> |Shadow|, is it on your desktop?
[02:21] <|Shadow|> yes
[02:21] <theherbalizer> so in fstab it's going to read /dev/sda1  /mnt/movies     instead of /dev/sda1 /
[02:21] <mnoir> the standards for the linux directories is kept at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
[02:21] <nikitis> omg, i can't figure this out, and i'm about to throw this thing out the damn window.  I uninstalled my nvidia drivers.  fixed my sources.list file.  reinstalled the drivers per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia instructions, rebooted, and the 3D acceleration works, but no Direct Rendering still.  Nvidia logo pops up, it says "nvidia" in xorg.conf file.  The only...
[02:21] <bruenig> |Shadow|, do cd Desktop && chmod +x ati-driver-install.run && sudo ./ati-driver-install.run
[02:21] <nikitis> ...discrepency I can find is that when I do a "glxinfo | grep vendor" it returns "server glx vendor string: SGI" next line " Client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation" next line "OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation"  Can someone please who knows what to do please, please help me!
[02:21] <mnoir> theherbalizer:  that looks ok
[02:22] <mnoir> theherbalizer: it aint the whole line though
[02:22] <kitche> nikitis: so it saysa direct rendering no?
[02:22] <KillerT> nikitis: didn't u say u r running sis 650?
[02:22] <|Shadow|> hmm, thats odd. when i try and enter the command line my screen messes up
[02:22] <theherbalizer> mnoir: sweet, i'll give it a shot
[02:22] <|Shadow|> (ctl+alt+f2)
[02:22] <nikitis> kitche: yes
[02:22] <theherbalizer> mnoir: yeah, i understand that
[02:22] <bruenig> |Shadow|, just go to applications>accessories>terminal
[02:22] <nikitis> KillerT: i'm running a GeForce Go 6800
[02:22] <mnoir> theherbalizer: just making sure :)
[02:23] <Trixsey> Does root ("sudo") have an own trashcan? Or does it delete instantly?
[02:23] <|Shadow|> ah, thanks :)
[02:23] <KillerT> nikitis: oh ur not that person niki who was here
[02:23] <nikitis> I've been here for 6 hours trying to figure this problem out
[02:23] <kitche> Trixsey: deletes instantly I believe if you do it though the terminal
[02:23] <mnoir> Trixsey: when you are at the commandline, delete is delete
[02:23] <bruenig> Trixsey, sudo rm and rm will delete it instantly either way
[02:23] <nikitis> Something really odd is going on
[02:23] <Trixsey> bruenig, ah ok
[02:23] <nikitis> i've followed about 10 people's directions to fix it and nothing
[02:24] <KillerT> nikitis: so option "dri" = a negative
[02:24] <AnythingJ> I am having a bit of trouble getting my Bekin wireless card to work.  All of the online howto's I have found says this card should work out of the box, and I should just be able see the card in system -> Network Settings... but it is not there... could that be because I did install ubuntu with the wireless card in? I just recently purchesed the card?  I am also using xubuntu... could that be the problem
[02:24] <nikitis> KillerT: yes
[02:24] <cafuego_> nvidia needs glx, not dri or glcore.
[02:24] <Trixsey> KDE4 vs Gnome 3
[02:28] <Trixsey> Which do you think will be coolest?
[02:28] <drx> anyone know how to Ctrl-Alt-Del into a Xen Windows VM?
[02:28] <theherbalizer> okay, so     /dev/sda1/	/mnt/sda1	ext3	      ...and then what?
[02:28] <mnoir> Trixsey: KDE4, just like every kde versus gnome  :)

[02:28] <Trixsey> :o
[02:28] <xtknight> what was gnome 1 like?  i never used it
[02:28] <nikitis> KillerT: i added Load       "
[02:28] <Trixsey> KDE should re-design their panels
[02:28] <Trixsey> and they win me over
[02:28] <theherbalizer> in fstab, what's the syntax for <options>       <dump>  <pass>?
[02:28] <Trixsey> if they do it in KDE4 I'll be there in a heartbeat
[02:28] <mnoir> Trixsey: more busier fun here in ubuntu
[02:28] <Trixsey> KDE seems to be working harder on development too
[02:28] <Trixsey> Gnome is like..

[02:30] <mnoir> Trixsey: quanta integrates a debugger, web preview and svn/cvs

[02:30] <reverendnathan> bruenig: I've been using OOo; anything more specific? Perchance a script of addon to OOo or KOffice?

[02:31] <xtknight> what do <dump> and <pass> do in fstab?
[02:31] <DarthLappy> theherbalizer: That should work.
[02:31] <reverendnathan> bruenig: I just miss using the scriptwriting suite I was using in Windows; makes the process faster albiet more automated.
[02:31] <theherbalizer> DarthLappy: excellent, thanks.
[02:31] <MamanN> wellstevesays: if you installed the right video driver, you just have to set it via menu
[02:32] <mnoir> theherbalizer: looks ok - spaces would be nich though
[02:32] <mnoir> nich=nice

[02:32] <jkillaz> how can I update firefox to firefox2 with synaptic?
[02:32] <theherbalizer> so now do i need to reboot, or is there a remount all command?
[02:32] <bruenig> jkillaz, you can't
[02:32] <bef> how to "unzip" a .tar.gz
[02:32] <xtknight> firefox2 is in the repositories
[02:33] <frogzoo> waaah - open office writer is fullscreen in gnome and won't give me the tool bar back again
[02:33] <MamanN> wellstevesays: but if you want to reconfigure via dpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:33] <bruenig> bef, tar xf whatever.tar.gz
[02:33] <xtknight> bef, tar xzvf filename.tar.gz, or right click Extract in gui
[02:33] <bruenig> my command is shorter
[02:33] <theherbalizer> lol
[02:33] <xtknight> mine is more verbose
[02:33] <xtknight> and has a Z
[02:33] <theherbalizer> and a v
[02:33] <xtknight> wait a minute now...
[02:33] <mnoir> the z is kinda necessary i think
[02:33] <theherbalizer> alright, lemmie give this a shot, hopefully it works.
[02:33] <xtknight> xf just does .tar :P
[02:33] <bruenig> the z is not necessary
[02:33] <bruenig> try it
[02:34] <kitche> xtknight: with the new tar you don't need z or j
[02:34] <xtknight> im in windows
[02:34] <xtknight> lol
[02:34] <mnoir> kit - really - kEwL
[02:34] <bef> bruenig: xtknight: thanks

[02:35] <Rug> I was just playing a game when the game locked-up.  I was able to switch to a different tty and kill the game.  Now my mouse isn't working.  Is there a command I can run to re-initialize my mouse?
[02:36] <xtknight> Rug, try just presing alt tab..works for me sometimes
[02:36] <bruenig> I bet sudo shutdown -r now would do it but that is probably not what you are looking for
[02:36] <shmeelAway> hi, how do I take control of my computer as root?
[02:36] <xtknight> bruenig, well aren't you ambitious
[02:36] <Rug> xtknight: no luck with that
[02:36] <xtknight> shmeelAway, umm  sudo
[02:36] <render> hey.. i need help  =x  i tried the live CD and it always stops responding at the splash screen after i chose to start or install
[02:36] <EnsignRedshirt> How do I install an .otf font?  With .ttf, I just copy the file into .fonts.
[02:36] <Flannel> shmeelAway: ubuntu doesn't use the root account, we use sudo.
[02:36] <Flannel> !fonts | EnsignRedshirt
[02:36] <ubotu> EnsignRedshirt: 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
[02:37] <Flannel> render: did you verify the CD? (check CD for defects)
[02:37] <xtknight> render, geforce video card?
[02:37] <render> yes
[02:37] <mnoir> shmeelAway: generally you don't - you use root sparingly, through sudo
[02:37] <render> er
[02:37] <render> yes i verified the cd, no not a geforce card

[02:37] <render> uh, ubuntu
[02:37] <xtknight> lo
[02:37] <MamanN> smeelAyay: use gksu on gnome or kdesu on kde
[02:38] <xtknight> render, like the DOS-like interface or do you see a pretty brown background as if a desktop were coming up?
[02:38] <EnsignRedshirt> Flannel: There is nothing in that page about .otf files.
[02:38] <canine_kouji> oi
[02:38] <xtknight> rexxenexx, you can safely ignore that error
[02:38] <render> black background, ubuntu logo with the words "ubuntu", and the orange bouncing progress bar which has stopped bouncing
[02:38] <canine_kouji> oh wait, you guys wont know, you're all noobs. I better go in gentoo even though this is ubuntu distro related, heh
[02:38] <xtknight> render, i see...im afraid i cant help
[02:39] <rexxenexx> xtknight: i get backend errors when i run mythtv
[02:39] <KillerT> good thing he left
[02:39] <hagabaka> is there a dictionary package that has only common words, without the 's and -ed etc forms?
[02:39] <xtknight> what a noob he is!
[02:39] <render> stupid question enroute.. would burning the ISO to a DVD+R instead of CD matter
[02:39] <MamanN> shmeelAway: run from consol mode #gksu xxxx (command)
[02:39] <kitche> KillerT: don't worry gentoo weill just tell him to come here again anyways lol
[02:39] <KillerT> lol
[02:40] <EnsignRedshirt> I can install a ttf font by simply copying to ~/.fonts.  I tried the same thing with a .otf file, but abiword (for example) does not show the font.
[02:40] <KillerT> send him to purgatory
[02:40] <mnoir> mebbe we can play pingpong with him
[02:40] <MamanN> shmeelAway: run from consol mode #kdesu (command)
[02:40] <xtknight> whack a mol.e.

[02:40] <drx> I just installed Windows 2003 Server in a Xen Guest and now my system says "...the superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with the --rebuild-sb ... what do I do now?

[02:40] <shmeelAway> kk, thx
[02:41] <Flannel> EnsignRedshirt: did you fc-cache?
[02:41] <xtknight> hagabaka, i guess you want an "abridged" dictionary?
[02:41] <|Shadow|> argh, this is starting to frustrate me lol
[02:41] <|Shadow|> i can't find much help to setup my xorg.conf at all
[02:41] <drx> hello
[02:41] <KillerT> drx: I have no idea what u did but u messed whatever it is up
[02:41] <EnsignRedshirt> Flannel: No, but I haven't had to do that before...

[02:41] <s_v_e_n> good evening,     im having a problem with eclipse  -  cant find stdio.h
[02:41] <hagabaka> hmm
[02:41] <hagabaka> maybe...
[02:41] <xtknight> s_v_e_n, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:42] <Flannel> EnsignRedshirt: and you restarted abiword, right?
[02:42] <|Shadow|> well, i found this example... http://tonywhitmore.co.uk/blog/2006/02/07/dual-head-on-ati-radeon-9200-se-under-ubuntu/ but every part of it is diffrent to mine
[02:42] <EnsignRedshirt> Flannel: Yes.
[02:42] <|Shadow|> identifier, device, monitor etc is all diffrent
[02:42] <|Shadow|> and i don't have a clue what to set in mine.
[02:42] <drx> "...the superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with the --rebuild-sb."  What?
[02:42] <xtknight> |Shadow|, goal = cloned mode with a single video card that has two heads?
[02:42] <KillerT> |Shadow|: No matter where u go u are not going to get a perfect setup to ur own. It is meant as a template for ur own
[02:42] <xtknight> drx, well run the utility like this: asdf --rebuild-sb
[02:42] <hagabaka> i'm writing a word-guessing game, which uses a file with newline-seperated words
[02:43] <KillerT> xtknight: I don't think he is going for clone
[02:43] <|Shadow|> i allready have clone, my card does that in hardware i really want a extended desktop
[02:43] <render> so er, whats the difference to kubuntu and ubuntu? one's based on gnome and one kde, i know, but how does that matter in terms of usability?
[02:43] <Jelloman> how do i edit the boot table
[02:43] <Jelloman> in linux
[02:43] <drx> xtknight, will this hose the Windows 2003 Xen VM Guest I just installed?
[02:43] <Jelloman> to put windows on top
[02:43] <xtknight> |Shadow|, using ati proprietary drivers?
[02:43] <Flannel> !dualhead | |Shadow| read this?
[02:43] <ubotu> |Shadow| read this?: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[02:43] <xtknight> Jelloman, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:43] <Jelloman> how do i edit it the right way :D
[02:44] <EnsignRedshirt> Flannel: Do you know if a .otf file *should* work?  This is the first one that I've tried to use.  I'll look for some more and see if they work.
[02:44] <|Shadow|> xtknight i downloaded and installed the linux xorg drivers from ati, yes.
[02:44] <|Shadow|> i'll read that page :)
[02:44] <xtknight> Jelloman, you move the 5 or so windows boot instruction lines above the 5 or so linux ones.
[02:44] <xtknight> |Shadow|,read up on the ATI proprietary driver docs
[02:44] <shmeelAway> hey, sry, the thing closed by accident, can i get that command again plz?
[02:44] <Flannel> EnsignRedshirt: I have no idea.  I imagine it should.you migt need libotf
[02:44] <Jelloman> kk
[02:44] <Jelloman> so make windows 5
[02:44] <Jelloman> no
[02:44] <Jelloman> 0
[02:44] <Jelloman> and linux 5
[02:44] <xtknight> shmeelAway, kdesu ?
[02:44] <|Shadow|> i do have to say this isn't a good start for linux vs windows though :/
[02:44] <shmeelAway> mm
[02:44] <Flannel> Jelloman: no no, just change the number.
[02:45] <|Shadow|> taken me 3 hours and i can't even get dual monitors up and going.
[02:45] <Flannel> Jelloman: 'default 0' is the current default, you want 'default 5' or whatever
[02:45] <Jelloman> thats what i said flannel
[02:45] <xtknight> Jelloman, you shouldn't have to change any numbers
[02:45] <Jelloman> ooooh
[02:45] <xtknight> Jelloman, as far as i know :/
[02:45] <s_v_e_n> xtknight, build-esenntial is installed
[02:45] <jackson3246> is there some way I can mute/unmute my microphone with a hotkey in beryl or metacity or .. just gnome in general?
[02:45] <Flannel> xtknight: er, he needs to change one number.
[02:45] <shmeelAway> command not found
[02:45] <xtknight> which one?
[02:45] <shmeelAway> -.-
[02:45] <Flannel> xtknight: 'default'
[02:45] <xtknight> i'm not in linux atm
[02:45] <rexxenexx> when i run the mythfrontend and click watch tv it says "could not connect to the backend server..."
[02:45] <MamanN> shmeelAway: kdesu or gksu (command) eg. gksu gedit
[02:46] <xtknight> ah i guess
[02:46] <killert> xtknight: shame on u
[02:46] <s_v_e_n> eclipse - problem: cant find any header-files from /usr/include
[02:46] <xtknight> s_v_e_n, place /usr/include in PATH so eclipse sees it
[02:46] <shmeelAway> but that's only in the terminal right?
[02:46] <jackson3246> is there some way I can mute/unmute my microphone with a hotkey in beryl or metacity or .. just gnome in general?
[02:46] <Byan> can anyone recommend a good gallery? cgi for site?
[02:46] <xtknight> jackson3246, xmodmap and alsaconf
[02:46] <shmeelAway> can i get root access out of terminal? i'm not the greatest at this script stuff
[02:46] <MamanN> shmeelAway: yes but u can run any grapical from there
[02:46] <Jas-Nix> Byan: gallery
[02:46] <Flannel> shmeelAway: just console - sudo nano /file/path/stuff
[02:46] <pabix> hi all
[02:46] <Jas-Nix> it's php
[02:47] <killert> jackson3246: btw metacity is gnomes wm so saying in metacity or gnome is the same thing
[02:47] <xtknight> jackson3246, well theres an alsa command that sets audio options, something like alsaconf or setalsa or something
[02:47] <Byan> Jas-Nix: eh?
[02:47] <Jas-Nix> Byan: are you looking for something to display pictures ?
[02:47] <Byan> yeah
[02:47] <shmeelAway> like, my mounted windows partition says root only for writing stuff, i wanted to get something from my edgy partition to the windows one
[02:47] <xtknight> shmeelAway, read only you mean?
[02:47] <mnoir> MamanN: why are you not recommending gksudo?
[02:47] <shmeelAway> no, it's read/write
[02:47] <jackson3246> xtkight: is it in the repos or something? it's neither of those, I think
[02:48] <shmeelAway> but i need root permission
[02:48] <MamanN> shmeelAway: if u want to mount ntfs just seti at /etc/fstab
[02:48] <Menisk> I would like to connect my ubuntu laptop to my windows home network but cannot work out how to change the workgroup... Does ubuntu not work with workgroups?

[02:48] <xtknight> jackson3246, xmodmap is included with Xorg.  im pretty sure you will need to use it somewhere along the way.  and there's an alsa command that saves a sound card configuration and loads it.
[02:48] <shmeelAway> it says "owner: root" folder acess "create and delete files"

[02:49] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: Use "sudo command..." to do things as 'root'
[02:49] <shmeelAway> i can't click and drag i guess lol
[02:49] <IntuitiveNipple> when it asks for a password, its expecting your *user* password
[02:49] <killert> do u realize most questions asked here have been answered in one form or another easily viewable via a search on google?
[02:49] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: Yes you can, but you need to add a simple script to Gnome to allow you to open directories as root
[02:50] <rexxenexx> Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
[02:50] <mnoir> killert: but we are not allowed to say that
[02:50] <kitche> EnsignRedshirt: it seems with .otf you need to install a wrapper for them since they are postscript look here http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/fontools/
[02:50] <shmeelAway> aha, do u know what that script is intuitivenipple?
[02:50] <killert> mnoir: crap my bad
[02:50] <rexxenexx> the myth frontend cant connect to it either
[02:50] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: Let me get mine, you can copy it
[02:50] <drx> asdf doesn't work
[02:50] <shmeelAway> alright thanks
[02:50] <Flannel> killert: yes, actually.  Most of them are answered over and over again.  But not all of them.  And google doesn't say "yes, this is YOUR solution"
[02:50] <xtknight> drx, errr i didnt mean it literally.... whatever the command is --rebuild-sb ;P

[02:52] <killert> xtknight: word
[02:52] <EnsignRedshirt> Flannel: I'm still reading that page, but my first impression is that it is about using ttf/otf in Latex.
[02:52] <killert> kitche: didn't quite understand that
[02:52] <shmeelAway> alright, thanks intuitivenipple
[02:52] <rexxenexx> can someone help me setup my mythtv-backend?

[02:54] <b1f30> that shite will cure a friggin' hangover
[02:54] <shmeelAway> then my final question is: can i access my external hardrive on my virtual machine?
[02:54] <xtknight> try and install openbsd
[02:54] <killert> yes i mean it is the perfect solution look at the name Disk Operating System
[02:54] <xtknight> you'll hate yourself
[02:54] <Menisk> I installed it this morning as a guest OS in VMware player, have used it many times before.
[02:54] <drx> my superbock is corrupt, so I ran fsck and it says I have to run it manually
[02:54] <render> so any ideas on my non-working ubuntu live CD?
[02:54] <Menisk> Now I can't stop using it.
[02:54] <b1f30> openbsd is nifty
[02:55] <b1f30> so is netbsd
[02:55] <xtknight> oh man the install procedure makes jesus cry
[02:55] <shmeelAway> edgy can see the hard drive, but my vitual machine can't
[02:55] <xtknight> is there a good front-end GUI for making debian packages?
[02:55] <b1f30> $ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:55] <Lahey_> is there linux for the 360 yet?
[02:55] <b1f30> automatic installation failed due to network problems or upstream changes
[02:56] <Flannel> b1f30: you probably want flash9 anyway.
[02:56] <Lahey_> Free60?

[02:57] <rexxenexx> what databases does mythtv need?
[02:57] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: Once you restart nautilus, you can Right-Click on and directory or file and choose "Scripts > Open As Administrator"
[02:57] <shmeelAway> alright
[02:57] <shmeelAway> will try
[02:58] <rexxenexx> How many MySQL databases does MythTV need? <--more accurate question
[02:58] <EnsignRedshirt> kitche: OK... but are you sure it will show me how to make an otf font usable in abiword or openoffice?  Does it work for you?
[02:58] <lufis> In Gnome's printer config dialog, there are only a few preset DPI print settings. Is there a way to configure it to print at a custom dpi?
[02:59] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: Hang On!! There's a critical typo!!
[02:59] <kitche> EnsignRedshirt: ah with openoffice it's a bit tricky let me find the page http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ#Are_OTF_fonts_supported_in_OpenOffice.org_2

[03:00] <killert> Menisk: lol
[03:00] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: Yes, it is... here's the corrected instructions: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3416/
[03:00] <Menisk> htaccess, it should just work
[03:00] <kitche> htaccess: you can type mount to figure out where it's mounted to if your not sure
[03:00] <daishadar> quick scripting question: what's the fastest way to test if a diretory has any subdirectories?
[03:00] <xtknight> home sweet home
[03:00] <IntuitiveNipple> shmeelAway: I typed the wrong directory name for gnome2 :)
[03:00] <Jelloman> ok so what exactly do i set windows too

[03:01] <htaccess> I have nothing mounted with fat in the list
[03:01] <patbam>  heloes
[03:01] <lufis> rexxenexx: does it not say in the documentation?
[03:01] <rexxenexx> I didnt see anything
[03:01] <kitche> htaccess: ok sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/<mountpoint> if you have an IDE system
[03:02] <xtknight> anyone here deal with color work (calibrator, etc)?  (i dont really have a specific question, i'd just like to talk about linux and its color support)
[03:02] <rexxenexx> I had to make one because I got dependency errors installing
[03:02] <htaccess> /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[03:03] <Flannel> xtknight: that'd be #ubuntu-offtopic, if anywhere #ubuntu related, you might lso try ##linux, and Im sure there are better channels than that even
[03:03] <blanky> It's taking me 20 minutes to upload a 40 kb file :'(
[03:03] <kitche> htaccess: ok you must have an SATA system it might be /dev/sdb1 then
[03:03] <drx> my system says "superblock corrupted" and I can't run fsck and I can't shutdown -F, what do I do?  Help!
[03:03] <rexxenexx> in my mythbackend.log there is a line - 2007-01-29 12:21:55.723 Unable to connect to database!

[03:04] <pavan> How can i get telugu fonts?
[03:04] <EnsignRedshirt> kitche: Thanks for that link.  I guess the final answer to my question is "No, you can't just drop a .otf file in ~/.fonts and use it."
[03:04] <lufis> drx: RSEIUB, perhaps?
[03:04] <kitche> htaccess: ... ok see if dmesg says anything when you plug the device in
[03:04] <patbam> pavan: not sure but let's find out together...
[03:04] <patbam> <-- font freak
[03:04] <rexxenexx> could fireburner be blocking mythtv?
[03:05] <patbam> pavan: there are telugu fonts in synaptic
[03:05] <patbam> i think you want ttf-telugu-fonts , not sure what other packages you need
[03:05] <drx> lufix, where is RSEIUB located?
[03:05] <kitche> rexxenexx: firestart shouldn't effect mythtv unless you using a mythtv server
[03:05] <shmeelAway> thanks for the help
[03:05] <shmeelAway> =)
[03:06] <lufis> drx: it's a keyboard command that safely reboots the computer when nothing is responding.
[03:06] <xzk> I'm having a problem with my network manager, it won't connect to my wireless internet but it will connect to my neigbors.. it's never done this before - is there an alternative network managing application that would work?
[03:06] <dapatrick> Is there a script that should be used for enabling init.d services on Ubuntu, similar to chkconfig on RedHat/CentOS?
[03:06] <Epistax> Hey guys. I've seen 3 hours installing nvidia drivers. That part works fine now.. but how do I install OpenGL support into X?
[03:06] <Epistax> specifically, GLX
[03:06] <dapatrick> Or is symlinking the main means of enabling a service?
[03:06] <patbam> pavan: it seems tobe sufficient, http://te.wikipedia.org renders fine for me
[03:07] <blanky> Epistax: it's XGL not GLX (At least I think that's what you mean)
[03:07] <blanky> !xgl | Epistax
[03:07] <ubotu> Epistax: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[03:07] <lufis> drx: is nothing working at all?
[03:07] <rexxenexx> how about the beckend? I followed the  "MythTV Edgy Backend Frontend Desktop" Wiki
[03:07] <patbam> pavan: actually you probably will want to search synaptic for 'telugu' and install all the telugu support stuff
[03:07] <Epistax> blanky, ubotu, forgive me, but the NVIDIA X Server Settings calls it GLX
[03:07] <rexxenexx> only the backend is having probs
[03:07] <drx> lufis, I can boot and login as root
[03:08] <lufis> drx: ah

[03:16] <drx> lucis, it also says that fsck failed but it's on a volume that shouldn't affect Linux (it's on a Windows VM LVM volme)
[03:16] <cablesm102> Epistax, Epistax, under Driver (in the device section) does it say nvidia?
[03:17] <IntuitiveNipple> Akuma_: They are set in your .bash_profile
[03:17] <Epistax> cablesm102: Yes, I made that alteration myself.  When I restart the gdm, I see the nvidia splash screen
[03:17] <cablesm102> Epstax, sorry... don't know what the problem is.

[03:19] <Gwanky> PPC?
[03:19] <pierrelourens> intel
[03:19] <Gwanky> or x86?
[03:19] <Gwanky> hmm use GRUB

[03:20] <pwk> drx, please chck pm
[03:20] <Gwanky> Bootstrap
[03:20] <cablesm102> Gwanky, sry... looking at wrong message
[03:20] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: which operating system is hosting the external drive?
[03:20] <Gwanky> not grub
[03:20] <Gwanky> use bootcamp
[03:20] <Gwanky> it works for dualbooting Windows XP Os X and prolly linux
[03:20] <Epistax> Ok if glx is failing on load, how do I tell? There is nothing in var log messages
[03:20] <pierrelourens> IntuitiveNipple: I haven't bought it yet, but I'm going to buy it for use w/ Time Machine -- and leave some space for Ubuntu
[03:20] <Gwanky> So can someone help my set up Xserver
[03:21] <gabriela> hi
[03:21] <gabriela> is there a keys combinations to block the screen?
[03:21] <Gwanky> Can someone help me with Xserver
[03:21] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: so you want to use it to dual-boot different operating systems? Or is it you just want to share files from it to different PCs ?
[03:21] <cablesm102> gabriela, you can set one in System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[03:22] <gabriela> iGwanky:  had problems whit xserver
[03:22] <pierrelourens> IntuitiveNipple: my internal drive will boot Mac OS X, and the drive will have back up files (photos, music, etc)
[03:22] <gabriela> Guanky: i had problems with xserver too
[03:22] <Tonren> How do I kill an XServer from the command line?
[03:22] <gabriela> cablsesm102 thanks  i will check that
[03:22] <Gwanky> Gabriela:I install ubuntu and xserver fails
[03:22] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: ok, thats what I thought but I wasn't sure - so basically you want to share it across the network?
[03:22] <drx> pwk, how?
[03:22] <wil__> Tonren: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop     or start or restart
[03:23] <juano__> !nvidia
[03:23] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[03:23] <hyarion_> I recently installed Edgy and everything seems to freeze a couple times a day, everything but the mouse just freezes, any ideas?
[03:23] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: I think you could use NFS or Samba. Samba is probably easier to manage overall
[03:23] <pwk> so u had vista installed first?
[03:23] <gabriela> maybe is your graphic card
[03:23] <gabriela> what is your graphic card?
[03:23] <pierrelourens> IntuitiveNipple: Here's the situation.  I'm buying external USB drive.  Want to back up just my computer's photos, music, etc
[03:23] <jelloman> Guys

[03:24] <jelloman> yes
[03:24] <jelloman> menu.lst
[03:24] <cablesm102> jelloman, you need to change the order of the entries in the same file.
[03:24] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: ok, so you *do* want to dual-boot the PC with 2 operating systems then?
[03:24] <jelloman> how???
[03:24] <jelloman> like copy paste?
[03:24] <cablesm102> jelloman, that would work
[03:24] <pierrelourens> yeah.
[03:25] <cablesm102> jelloman, just make sure you make a backup.
[03:25] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: As Gwanky said, investigate bootcamp
[03:25] <jturek> hi can anybody tell me why this is happening?
[03:25] <pwk> drx,  u there?
[03:25] <jturek> http://tech.telcove.com/ScreenshotError.jpg
[03:25] <Hansin321> jelloman: Cut and paste worked for me.
[03:25] <drx> pwk, yes
[03:25] <gabriela> cablesm102: thanks i did it thanks a lot.
[03:25] <pierrelourens> does bootcamp work w/ external drives?
[03:25] <Pirate-king> what is the start up command for any program?
[03:25] <cablesm102> gabriela, no prob
[03:25] <pierrelourens> I don't want Ubuntu on my internal.
[03:25] <Hansin321> But yes, make a backup is a good idea.
[03:25] <pwk> drx,  did u install vista frist?
[03:25] <Pirate-king> tring to add skype to startup
[03:25] <drx> yes
[03:26] <wil__> hey guys how do i remove the "Use the 'up' 'down' keys to select which entry is highlighted" text from the grub menu? man page for grub kind of sucks
[03:26] <Pirate-king> when ubuntu starts
[03:26] <cablesm102> Pirate-king, the command "skype" will work
[03:26] <IntuitiveNipple> pierrelourens: I think you'd have it running from the internal drive, and offer choices as to which location/OS to load each time you start the PC
[03:26] <sear_yoda> does anyone know how to enable all of the channels/inputs on nforce4 onboard audio?
[03:26] <gabriela> who install vista?
[03:26] <XNIT-01> hey
[03:26] <cablesm102> Pirate-king, go to System>Preferences>Sessions, go to the Startup Programs tab, click Add, and put the startup command "skype"
[03:26] <XNIT-01> um how do i go to desktop through terminal
[03:26] <XNIT-01> like redirect terminal to desktop
[03:27] <gabriela> i intsalled but is very demanded for a system
[03:27] <Pirate-king> ok
[03:27] <Pirate-king> thamks
[03:27] <drx> pwk, then use the Linux boot loader to select the OS
[03:27] <XNIT-01> how do i direct terminal to desktop?
[03:27] <XNIT-01> isnt it cp ~/Desktop
[03:27] <XNIT-01> but its not working
[03:27] <XNIT-01> ?
[03:27] <drx> how do you repair a bad superblock on a Reiser volume?
[03:27] <bigfuzzyjesus> XNIT-01, its cd /home/desktop/
[03:28] <EnsignRedshirt> bigfuzzyjesus: Capital D
[03:28] <jackson3246> in GNOME's "Keyboard Shortcuts" configuration GUI, what terminal command does the keyboard shortcut "raise volume" correspond to?
[03:28] <bigfuzzyjesus> EnsignRedshirt, yeah good call
[03:28] <linux__> anyone know how to autostart services in ubuntu via terminal?
[03:28] <pwk> drx, so u then ran ubuntu...and grub auto setup everything?
[03:29] <EnsignRedshirt> XNIT-01: Your question is not clear.  What does "direct terminal to desktop" mean?
[03:29] <cablesm102> Hey, how can I set the volume buttons on my keyboard to turn up my Headphone volume? They only change the Master volume on my soundcard.
[03:29] <drx> pwk, pretty much
[03:29] <pierrelourens> Does parallels work well with Ubuntu?
[03:29] <pwk> and after itwasdone u booted vista and ubuntu?
[03:30] <lskd-255> why do all the fonts look the same?
[03:30] <jackson3246> in GNOME's "Keyboard Shortcuts" configuration GUI, what terminal command does the keyboard shortcut "raise volume" correspond to?
[03:31] <drx> pwk, not at the same time
[03:31] <bef> www.theAGORA.org
[03:31] <yotux> Is there a bug fix for cupsys?  Cause my system to spike to 100% CPU load for about 5 mins then finally prints
[03:31] <Lahey_> open
[03:31] <Crescendo_> What software can I use, FOSS, that will allow me to provide web hosting plans for users?
[03:31] <pwk> ok next question... which version kde or gnome..which be easier for a windows user?
[03:32] <yotux> pwk -> KDE
[03:32] <rfschmid> #beryl
[03:32] <bef> pwk: Gnome
[03:32] <jackson3246> pwk: I actually GREATLY prefer GNOME
[03:32] <pwk> lol
[03:32] <xzk> whats a good network manager
[03:32] <jackson3246> pwk: and the main fork of ubuntu is made for gnome anyway
[03:33] <bef> pwk: it's really personal preference, you can try both.
[03:33] <yotux> my fav is xfce
[03:33] <oljanx> I'll toss in another vote for Gnome
[03:33] <cablesm102> pwk, I like Gnome better, but KDE is slightly more windows-ish. I'd reccomend Gnome though. You can try both...
[03:33] <sear_yoda> anyone know why 4 channel sound wouldn't be working on an nforce4 motherboard?
[03:33] <pwk> so ifi install stnadrad ubntu..not kubntu.. i can switch to kde if  iwanna?
[03:33] <Awesom-O> Hello, what exactly do I need to do to change my screen resolution to be 1280x1024?
[03:33] <yotux> pwk - yes
[03:33] <Falstius> I was installed xubuntu alongside ubuntu and was playing with the mixer and now I can't get sound from line-in anymore.  In the alsa mixer the control is listed but there's no volume bar.  Help?
[03:34] <bef> pwk: yes, you can later apt-get KDE
[03:34] <yotux> pwk -> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <cablesm102> Does anybody know how I can make a keyboard shortcut that rather than changing my master volume changes my headphone volume? It seems like my soundcard has them separated like that.
[03:34] <pwk> ok, last question,
[03:34] <pwk> then i'm off to instal....
[03:34] <cablesm102> pwk, i'd reecommend using aptitude (sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop)
[03:34] <pwk> whats difference in xubuntu?
[03:34] <cablesm102> pwk, that way you can remove it more cleanly
[03:34] <Awesom-O> Hello, what exactly do I need to do to change my screen resolution to be 1280x1024?
[03:35] <jackson3246> pwk: xubuntu uses a different window manager: xfce
[03:35] <cablesm102> pwk, it's xfce not gnome. A bit faster, but I find it harder to use.
[03:35] <cablesm102> better for slower systems.
[03:35] <gili> i want a basic dvd authoring program to make dvds for xvid. want to be able make menus
 pwk -> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ---> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:35] <Awesom-O> Without using Preferences > Screen resolution
[03:35] <Awesom-O> Because it won't work
[03:35] <bef> pwk: Xubuntu uses XFace
[03:35] <pwk> ok
[03:35] <drx> Awesom-O, you need to get a Phd in Computer Science and 5 years of kernel-level programming experience
[03:35] <lskd-255> Falstius, is there a menu bar on the ap?  look and see if you can set it up from 'file'
[03:35] <pwk> so all different guis is all?
[03:35] <drx> Aewsom-0, sorry, this is a sore spot with me in Unbuntu
[03:35] <yotux> bef-> thanks forgot sudo
[03:35] <Hansin321> Awesom-O: what desktop environment are you in?  I think I know the problem.
[03:36] <cablesm102> pwk, when you install kubuntu-desktop, use aptitude instead of apt-get. It handles dependencies better.
[03:36] <bef> yotux: foshizzle
[03:36] <Awesom-O> I haven't even installed ubuntu
[03:36] <Awesom-O> I'm on it
[03:36] <Ferret> Use xrandr
[03:36] <Awesom-O> But I need to install it
[03:36] <jackson3246> in GNOME's "Keyboard Shortcuts" configuration GUI, what terminal command does the keyboard shortcut "raise volume" correspond to?
[03:36] <Ferret> Then look down the list to find the one you want, and use xrandr -s <entry>
[03:36] <Awesom-O> But I can't because I can barely see the whole screen
[03:36] <oljanx> Awesom-O:  I had huge problems properly setting my screen resolution, I'd point you to a post on the forums that was helpful, but the truth is I read dozens
[03:36] <Falstius> lskd-255: that correct sound card is selected and the controls are there ... they just won't activate.
[03:36] <pavan> it torent is installed but i am not able to find it out where can i ?
[03:36] <Awesom-O> :S, ok
[03:36] <Hansin321> Awesom-O: No matter, first get into a terminal.  Let me know once you have...
[03:36] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, how do I compile and install a program that's on my desktop in a tar.gz?
[03:36] <pwk> ok..i'll be back..how i get on here in ubntu's live cd?
[03:37] <cablesm102> Awesom-O, you can edit your xorg.conf to change the resolutions in your modes to whatever you want.
[03:37] <cablesm102> |Jason8|, it's from source?
[03:37] <Ferret> I want 4578934578x5378945!
[03:37] <Awesom-O> I'm on terminal, cablesm: I don't know what to edit though
[03:37] <Hansin321> run this command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[03:37] <bef> lol goodluck to him!
[03:37] <jackson3246> haha
[03:37] <jackson3246> yeah. I hope it all goes well
[03:37] <Awesom-O> Hansin: I have
[03:37] <cablesm102> |Jason8|, you need to compile from a source in a tar.gz file?
[03:37] <|Jason8|> cablesm102 yes.
[03:37] <Awesom-O> But at the end it asks me to log in
[03:37] <cablesm102> i can help you in private message
[03:38] <Awesom-O> But I havent even intstalled
[03:38] <oljanx> Awesom-O: what graphics card?
[03:38] <Awesom-O> cable, you talking to me?
[03:38] <Hansin321> Awesom-O: This is taken from line 15 of xorg.conf.  Make sure 1280 x 1024 get check marked (use your space key once it get to the check box)
[03:38] <Awesom-O> NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU
[03:38] <sapage_> is there a program i can get to create a install disk of my current install?
[03:38] <EnsignRedshirt> |Jason8|: I'm sure the folks here can help you, but you can also find some useful instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware

[03:39] <LaserLine> Anybody know how to get a non gmail google account to work with Gossip?
[03:39] <|Jason8|> EnsignRedshirt, thanks a lot, I'll read through that.
[03:39] <Ferret> !customlivecd | sapage_: I guess it will be something like:

[03:39] <slyfox> Does cifs depand on smbfs? It looks like I could not mount samba partitions via cifs untill I installed smbfs ???
[03:39] <Hansin321> Awesom-O: Did you run that command (there is more to do)?  If you have you will be in ncurses menu (blue and red text based stuff).
[03:39] <Awesom-O> Yea
[03:40] <mister_roboto> LaserLine: is Gossip a Jabber client?
[03:40] <Hansin321> did you figure out how to check 1280x1024?
[03:40] <Awesom-O> Nope
[03:40] <Awesom-O> All I see is text
[03:40] <LaserLine> mister_roboto: yes
[03:40] <Awesom-O> Don't know how to "check"
[03:40] <pavan> bit torent is installed but i am not able to find it out where can i ?
[03:40] <mister_roboto> LaserLine: google's online docs are pretty thorough on how to configure various clients. have you looked at that yet?
[03:41] <Hansin321> up and down arrow keys should move between options.  when you get to 1280x1024, press the space key to "*" the "[ ] "
[03:41] <Hansin321> leave the other resolutions at the bottom of the list marked also.
[03:41] <LaserLine> mister_roboto: yeah and my gmail account will connect, but my non gmail google account will not...with all the setting setup right
[03:41] <Awesom-O> Also, I saved it but it says it's read only
[03:41] <Ferret> pavan: either dpkg -L packagename or dpkg -S packagename
[03:41] <Awesom-O> And says I don't have permission
[03:41] <Ferret> pavan: Add | grep bin/ to the end for shorter list
[03:42] <Ferret> (one of them is the reverse of the other, I forget which)
[03:42] <Awesom-O> Don't I need to intall it firts?
[03:42] <Awesom-O> Install* first*
[03:42] <Hansin321> did you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" --> you need to make sure sudo is included.
[03:42] <mister_roboto> LaserLine: maybe the jabber account is integrated with gmail? don't know. i only ever used jabber clients with the gmail accounts
[03:42] <Awesom-O> Yeah, I get an error
[03:43] <Hansin321> All this will do is regenerate a new xorg.conf file with the 1280x1024 resolution.  you then need to restart your x-server (via "cntl-alt-backspace"
[03:43] <Geocritter> hi, is anybody up to speed on that hard drive parking bug issue that a lot of us with laptops have been dealing with?
[03:43] <Awesom-O> I tried that
[03:43] <Awesom-O> BUT
[03:43] <Awesom-O> When I restart it
[03:43] <Awesom-O> It prompts me for something I dont know
[03:44] <Awesom-O> Like a user or something, but I havent even registered
[03:44] <Awesom-O> intalled
[03:44] <Awesom-O> And I get:
[03:44] <Awesom-O> When I run the command
[03:44] <Awesom-O> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration   file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070129214318
[03:44] <mister_roboto> Geocritter: what bug is that? i don't know about it and am curious because i run it on a laptop
[03:45] <Awesom-O> Hmm
[03:45] <Geocritter> when you power off the machine, mine makes a sound as it shuts down, that some say is a bug that's causing the hd not to park properly
[03:45] <kids> what is up
[03:45] <belkin> is there not a way to send a welcome mail automatically to a all new users ? using postfix
[03:45] <Geocritter> there's been several bug reports on it

[03:46] <carlos> i need help installing JRE i dont know how to do it
[03:46] <Awesom-O> Can someone send the link to fixing screen resolution? Somebody gave it to me before, but I lost it
[03:46] <frogzoo> belkin: fiddle with their mailbox in /etc/skel/ ?
[03:46] <frogzoo> !fixres | Awesom-O
[03:46] <ubotu> Awesom-O: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:46] <belkin> frogzoo are virtual users /home/mail
[03:47] <drx> I'll probably reinstall the entire system, that's okay.  But, one question for the group:  if I care about reliability and speedy automated recovery more than speed, more than anything else, should I use ext2, ext3 or Reiser?
[03:47] <belkin> carlos http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[03:47] <mister_roboto> carlos: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[03:48] <Hansin321> Awesom-O: I set up a private channel to walk you through this.  I has the same issue and am pretty sure I can help (but of course you never know).  Go over to that channel in your IRC client if you can and I will give it a shot.
[03:49] <cjns3274> is there anything in ubuntu like debian's netinst -- just the installer .. and a base system that brings up a network connection when you reboot
[03:49] <Awesom-O> I'm done running that
[03:49] <Awesom-O> But I dont want to ctrl alt backspace
[03:49] <Awesom-O> Because it will ask me something I dont know
[03:50] <|Shadow|> whats a glibc?
[03:50] <cjns3274> you could then apt-get install what you really need -- which is very little in my case ..???
[03:50] <Flannel> !minimal | cjns3274
[03:50] <ubotu> cjns3274: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:50] <Flannel> cjns3274: but, from that, you can either install a full desktop, or a "server" install, which is just the basics - CLI
[03:51] <Hansin321> Awesom-O: well you need to restart your X-Server.  Do you have anything running that you can restart?  All it will so is reset your x-server.  It will "kill" all your running apps though.
[03:51] <cjns3274> ubotu: cheers mate .. sounds like what I'm looking for -- my cd burner is an antique and can't handle anything > 700Meg
[03:52] <cablesm102> jelloman, you still here? you asked me a question...
[03:53] <cjns3274> Flannel: thanks, I aprobably want X -- for an xterm but I don't want gnome or kde -- or even xfce .. I currently use Window Maker
[03:53] <gnat_x> if i want to compile libfoo and then use a package from the repositories that could use the lib i had compiled, what would i need to do?
[03:54] <gnat_x> or would i also need to compile the app.
[03:54] <cjns3274> I basically want to install something as current at least as debian etch but the etch installer does not recognize my pmcia etherner card ..
[03:54] <Flannel> cjns3274: yeah, install the 'server', then you can apt-get your way to whatever level you'd like
[03:54] <drx> does Linux have a last known good equivalent?
[03:54] <cjns3274> want to check whether I have better luck with the current ubuntu (06.10?)
[03:56] <deerawzzz> Real quick-like from a recently ex-windows user: Should I worry about virus protection/spyware/adware etc., and if so, which programs to use?
[03:56] <Flannel> !virus | deerawzzz
[03:56] <ubotu> deerawzzz: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[03:56] <lxuser> I have a question, does some one kown of a tool to burn more than 2 hours of video in a 4.7 dvd
[03:56] <cephalon> Anyone had any luck getting an E-GNOME session to run after installing the Enlightenment package from Synaptics?>
[03:57] <Falstius> does wine work with 64bit ubuntu?  It used to have lots of problems in the hoary days.
[03:57] <rexxenexx> anyone have a default password for Suse 8.0? I telnet'd to a tard who is port scanning my ubuntu
[03:58] <deerawzzz> perfect, thanks
[03:58] <phixnay> which channel for edgy 64?
[03:58] <|Shadow|> lol im up to 5 hours now trying to set up dual monitors
[03:58] <Rieux> shadow, everything is so hard in linux
[03:59] <Rieux> everything must be done from scratch
[03:59] <|Shadow|> its not even the fact that its hard, there doesn't seem to be any sort of instructions that just tell you how to do it
[03:59] <Rieux> end then there's times when you want to start all over again
[03:59] <rj_> Thanks, ubotu.  Interesting.  Thought it was simply "security through obscurity."
[03:59] <Rieux> it's a pain in the ass
[03:59] <frankd3> shadow, mess w/ the xorg.conf
[03:59] <|Shadow|> and people wonder why people like windows lol :P
[03:59] <Rieux> but linux/unix is a neat system
[03:59] <|Shadow|> i don't know what to do with xorg.conf
[04:00] <frankd3> shadow, what type of video card do you have?
[04:00] <|Shadow|> i tried to follow the info on help.ubuntu.org but i a really lone core dump error
[04:00] <pbx> Just had a funny one with Xarchiver. Open the Chandler download, select all, Extract... "tar: too many arguments"!   Back to the shell.
[04:00] <|Shadow|> ati :P
[04:00] <|Shadow|> eax1600pro from asus :)
[04:01] <nikitis> For the Perfectionist, what's the first thing one should do after an installation of ubuntu?
[04:01] <|Shadow|> dual head, has dvi, vga and S-Video out
[04:01] <pbx> nikitis: Go through all settings panels one by one. Obsess over desktop background. Stuff like that.
[04:02] <nikitis> pbx: how do you update your sources.list?  sudo apt-get update?
[04:02] <Meheren> remmember the old text based installer shipped with can you somehow get 6.10 to run that?\
[04:02] <pbx> Yeah
[04:02] <Meheren> or a similar installer?
[04:02] <|Shadow|> wonder why nobodys wrote a gui for dual monitors
[04:02] <kitche> Meheren: alternate cd has that
[04:02] <|Shadow|> i mean it can't be that greatly complicated, windows managed to pull it off
[04:02] <Pici> Meheren, Thats on the Alternate Cd
[04:03] <pbx> nikitis: That's not really updating the sources list though, right? It's updating the package lists using the list of sources you've already given (or the default).
[04:03] <Meheren> kitche, Pici, ok cool thanks :)
[04:03] <frankd3> shadow, since you have an ati, did you install fglrx drivers
[04:03] <|Shadow|> frankd3 thats the tutorial i've been reading. i installed them
[04:03] <Dimp> hey
[04:03] <|Shadow|> but when i do fglrxinfo it says i have Mesa stuff installed
[04:03] <|Shadow|> and its apparently supposed to say ATI.
[04:04] <nikitis> pbx: i'm new to ubuntu.  Last time I followed a guide to upgrade the sources.list file i ended up botching up my nvidia drivers beyond repair.  How should I go about this?
[04:04] <EnsignRedshirt> Aloha
[04:04] <pbx> |Shadow|: Dual monitors are just now coming into out of complete obscurity in terms of support. Even Apple, which has supported monitor spanning for about 20 years, still has obscure bugs in their setup. (Though of course Aqua etc. isn't 20-year-old code)
[04:04] <Dimp> you from Hawaii?
[04:04] <mary_> hi
[04:04] <pbx> nikitis: Can't help you there. I keep everything pretty stock. If there isn't a driver in there for it, I don't use it!
[04:04] <EnsignRedshirt> Dimp: No... I  just noticed hawaii in your ip name.
[04:05] <Dimp> =)
[04:05] <|Shadow|> but windows managed it? and windows is supposed to be completely useless alongside linux :P
[04:05] <phixnay> anybody - what channel should I go to for edgy 64 bit?

[04:06] <phixnay> I KNOW
[04:06] <xtknight> chill
[04:06] <xtknight> lol
[04:06] <Pengu1n> how to save mails from diffrent mail account into diffrent folder in evolution?
[04:06] <phixnay> sorry, I just came back from #winehq and they sent me here cause they couldn't fix it
[04:06] <|Shadow|> frankd3 any ideas on what i should do?
[04:06] <xtknight> phixnay: like what opengl errors?
[04:07] <phixnay> when I run ./configure
[04:07] <xtknight> post the whole log of your configure and i bet i can help
[04:07] <phixnay> it says something like your opengl has errors, and won't be used in wine
[04:07] <Shiva88> can anyone explain to me why    sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"     works, but     sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward   returns a "permission denied" error?  what does the sh -c do?
[04:07] <rexxenexx> great a tard from germany is port sniffing my comp
[04:07] <|Shadow|> maybe i should start shouting at people, i've been through 4 linux channels now and nobody seems to be able to help me with the simple thing of getting dual monitors working lol
[04:07] <pbx> Any reccommendations for Quicksilver/Launchbar like apps usable with Ubuntu & XFCE?
[04:07] <Dimp> sudo before
[04:07] <pbx> (Or should I be in #xubuntu for that?)
[04:07] <xtknight> Shiva88: it executes a command line.  without it, you would by piping sudo to ip forward intead of echo.  sh -c "xx" executes xx as one big commadn so sudo can properly pipe it
[04:08] <jzaun> In both rhythmbox and banshee I can see the shares from my friends but I don't get the list of songs... I know its cause they use iTunes 7. Is anyone actually working on updating things under linux to be usable again or any ideas on other options?
[04:08] <Wimpog> Guys, I need some help here, please. I have Ubuntu Server, two ethernet cards eth0 and eth1. Sometimes when I reboot, second interface changes its name, that is it for some reason becomes eth2 (instead of eth1)...
[04:08] <xtknight> |Shadow|: i could but i would have to kill myself
[04:08] <Shiva88> i see... thank you
[04:08] <xtknight> |Shadow|: ok fine ill give it a try
[04:08] <Shiva88> that makes sense
[04:08] <ClintChance> What is it when you dualboot. Can you realy access both partions at once?
[04:09] <phixnay> Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1992405 bytes) in /home/pastebin/lib/pastebin/db.mysql.class.php on line 353.
[04:09] <frankd3> shadow, i'm doing a quick search for you.  i got mine working, but don't remember how
[04:09] <xtknight> phixnay: just post the error +/- 100 lines then.
[04:09] <frankd3> shadow, i was using an ati
[04:09] <|Shadow|> frankd3 thanks :)
[04:09] <Wimpog> I don't know, why one the name of one ethernet interface is changed sometimes...
[04:09] <ClintChance> !dualboot
[04:09] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[04:09] <linuxgoober> i have a pentium d, but only one of the cores are running how do i fix this?
[04:09] <xtknight> ClintChance: i dont understand your question
[04:09] <Awesom-O> Yay, I fixed the screen resolution
[04:10] <ClintChance> What is dualbooting
[04:10] <xtknight> linuxgoober: run an smp kernel
[04:10] <Awesom-O> But the "install" wont run
[04:10] <Awesom-O> ><
[04:10] <phixnay> xtknight - config.log, right?
[04:10] <linuxgoober> what do i apt-get?
[04:10] <xtknight> linuxgoober: and how did you conclude only one core was being used?
[04:10] <Awesom-O> When I click it it wont start
[04:10] <xtknight> phixnay: i think
[04:10] <xtknight> ClintChance: it is when you run one operating system and another and are able to boot both.
[04:10] <xtknight> ClintChance: they can not be run at the same time.  that is not dual booting.
[04:10] <Awesom-O> Is there another to run the installer?
[04:10] <xtknight> ClintChance: you choose one at a startup screen to run
[04:10] <rfschmid> After installing xgl/Beryl on my Ubuntu edgy laptop, I notice that when I'm logged in using xgl, shift-backspace seems to end my x session (I get dumped back to the login screen.) How can I change this?
[04:10] <bwlang> Wimpog: i've never seen that before... did you do a grep -i eth /var/log/dmesg ? do you see anything about eth1 in there? anything strange (like usb ethernet?)
[04:11] <xtknight> Awesom-O: "ubiquity" i believe
[04:11] <phixnay> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3418/
[04:11] <linuxgoober> i have a superkaramba widgit and it shwos that only core 1 is working
[04:11] <SoulPropagation> So at the install disk boot menu, I hit book first hard disk, and I get "isolinus: Disk error 1, AX = 0201, drive 80"
[04:11] <xtknight> linuxgoober: type and report `uname -a`
[04:11] <SoulPropagation> s/isolinus/isolinux
[04:11] <Awesom-O> another way*
[04:11] <Awesom-O> When I click Install, it won't start
[04:11] <xtknight> Awesom-O: type ubiquity in the terminal
[04:12] <Awesom-O> Ok
[04:12] <Wimpog> bwlang: it is just a regular ethernet card. The first one is always fine, but the second one often has its name changed after reboot. That screws up DHCP startup or course...
[04:12] <Wimpog> bwlang: I'm gonna take a look at this dmesg thing that you typed
[04:12] <xtknight> phixnay: where's the error?
[04:12] <Awesom-O> xknight: I get an error
[04:12] <linuxgoober> bash: Linux: command not found
[04:12] <phixnay> umm
[04:12] <xtknight> phixnay: also i saw this `conftest.c:142:28: error: audio/audiolib.h: No such file or directory` .  i would fix that before doing anything else as errors can propagate
[04:13] <bwlang> Wimpog: it's supposed to show all the lines that refer to eth from the boot messages... obvously the system should be in the problem state when you run that grep.
[04:13] <phixnay> ok how do I fix that?
[04:13] <dot> hi everyone, after finaly getting my xinerama to work I only got one problem, login and all menus (in gnome) are on the right monitor, anyone can hint me in what way to change it?
[04:13] <Awesom-O> It says permission denied
[04:13] <Awesom-O> Woah
[04:13] <xtknight> phixnay: sudo apt-get install libaudio-dev
[04:13] <frankd3> shadow, out of curiousity, did you change in the xorg.conf ati or radeon to fglrx
[04:13] <Awesom-O> It starts, the intallation, but it closes right away
[04:13] <xtknight> Awesom-O: gksudo ubiquity
[04:13] <Wimpog> bwlang: i'm gonna try it right now. BTW, my friend told me he has seen that situation on his computers too, and doesn't know why that happens
[04:14] <bwlang> Wimpog: it's a first for me.
[04:14] <|Shadow|> frankd3 no i didn't
[04:14] <chris12349> From the shell, does anyone know how to restart alsa? is it /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart?
[04:14] <Awesom-O> xtknight: It started, but it closed RIGHT away
[04:14] <xtknight> Awesom-O: any errors reported in the terminal?
[04:14] <Wimpog> bwlang: I have to run DHCP on eth1 but since its changes its name often, dhcp does not even start
[04:14] <SoulPropagation> So at the install disk boot menu, I hit book first hard disk, and I get "isolinux: Disk error 1, AX = 0201, drive 80 \n \n Boot failed: press a key to retry..."; when I press a key it resets the computer
[04:14] <|Shadow|> the only thing i changed was in the howto on ubuntu.org, adding the "Extensions" section
[04:14] <EnsignRedshirt> linuxgoober: Don't include the single quotes, just type: uname -a
[04:14] <Awesom-O> No no errors
[04:14] <frankd3> shadow, did you see anything in the xorg.conf w/ radeon or ati
[04:14] <Awesom-O> The app starts
[04:14] <phixnay> xtknight - ok, should I try configuring wine again?
[04:14] <Awesom-O> But it closes
[04:15] <xtknight> Awesom-O: understood, sorry i dont know where ubiquity stores logs

[04:17] <ArnottAus> doesn't**
[04:17] <Dimp> use google!
[04:17] <zero88> apt-get?
[04:17] <Dimp> no
[04:17] <Dimp> you gotta dl it from site
[04:17] <xtknight> tremulous is in repos
[04:17] <xtknight> i'm gonna try it
[04:18] <killert> zero88: then we have freecraft freeciv nethacks frozen bubble mahjong stuff freecell(card game your grandma plays)
[04:18] <jelloman> How do you know if someone is ignored?
[04:18] <Dimp> ??
[04:18] <Dimp> what?
[04:18] <phixnay> xtknight: ookay, configure ouputted a lot of missing libraries - should I install all of them?
[04:18] <jelloman> bc i think i accidentally put someone on ignore >>
[04:18] <killert> common people games games
[04:18] <zero88> killert whats nethacks
[04:18] <tonyyarusso> jelloman: /ignore without arguments will give you a list
[04:18] <xtknight> Dimp: tremulous is available through synaptic
[04:18] <Dimp> I know
[04:18] <Dimp> I got it
[04:18] <jelloman> ok how do i unignore
[04:18] <ArnottAus> cpk1: hi mate! you were helping me yesterday yeah?
[04:18] <Dimp> =)
[04:18] <xtknight> um /unignore
[04:18] <Dimp> what if he dont remember the name
[04:18] <Dimp> haha
[04:19] <xtknight>  listed thru /ignore ;P
[04:19] <Wimpog> bwlang: I just checked it, and there is nothing at all about eth1
[04:19] <killert> zero88: nethack and variants. it is a dungeon game where u pick a class and fight monsters to level up
[04:19] <|Shadow|> hahaha, my friend said its quicker to use one screen and a blackboard instead but the refresh rate might be crap
[04:19] <rexxenexx> whats a good frontend that shows current active users? anyone?
[04:19] <killert> !nethack
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nethack - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <zero88> killert is it a visual game,or text?
[04:19] <killert> awe
[04:19] <bwlang> Wimpog: hmm can you drop your whole dmesg into a pastebin somwhere?
[04:19] <xtknight> rexxenexx:  active users on what?
[04:19] <phixnay> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3420/
[04:19] <Pici> rexxenexx, users?
[04:19] <rexxenexx> xtknight: logged in
[04:19] <killert> zero88: the original is an engine that guis have been based off of
[04:20] <Wimpog> bwlang: yeah, can I drop it in private?
[04:20] <killert> zero88: whatever u want it to be
[04:20] <Epistax> wt... Everything is saying GLX is loading fine, but at the end of the bootup, it simply is not loaded.
[04:20] <xtknight> phixnay: alright, find the dev packages for those and install them.  they're in synaptic and fairly conspicuous
[04:20] <zero88> killert oh ok, is there a website where all these games might be?
[04:20] <bwlang> i think it'll boot you if you try to paste that much.. just paste it in at http://pastebin.ca and give me the url
[04:20] <xtknight> www.linuxgames.com ?
[04:20] <killert> zero88: google
[04:20] <Pici> rexxenexx, the command is called users
[04:20] <rexxenexx> thx ill try
[04:21] <xtknight> how come `users` returns "andy andy" (my login name twice)
[04:21] <|Shadow|> guess its time for me to give up on linux lol
[04:21] <Dimp> no
[04:21] <Dimp> NOO!
[04:21] <killert> |Shadow|: still no luck?
[04:21] <Dimp> we lost a customer?!
[04:21] <rexxenexx> what should I see?
[04:21] <pbx> xtknight: You're logged in twice.
[04:21] <frankd3> shadow, what i found so far is this
[04:21] <|Shadow|> killert yea, been trying for nearly 6 hours now
[04:21] <xtknight> pbx: once in bash once in gnome i guess?
[04:21] <frankd3> shadow, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[04:21] <|Shadow|> its getting crazy lol
[04:21] <killert> Dimp: it isn't a paying customer
[04:21] <Dimp> hah
[04:21] <rexxenexx> Pici: what should I see? Thats what I was lookin' for
[04:21] <cafuego_> xtknight: logged in twice (running 2 shells?)
[04:22] <xtknight> cafuego: gotcha.  i opened another terminal and there was yet another andy
[04:22] <|Shadow|> i'll try what that says
[04:22] <cafuego_> xtknight: running X and a shell/ :-)
[04:22] <xtknight> yeah
[04:22] <Pici> rexxenexx, it will give you the list of users logged in.  afaik theres no gui tool to show you that
[04:22] <Wimpog> GUYS, maybe anybody knows or has had this situation before - WHY does ethernet card name change after reboot? That is, normally it should be eth1, but often changes to eth2
[04:22] <Epistax> Congrats Ubuntu, you join the list of Linux distros that cannot figure out my graphics card.
[04:22] <Wimpog> bwlang: I pasted it in private
[04:22] <xtknight> Wimpog: i think you need to modify iftab, but that's bout all i know
[04:22] <killert> |Shadow|: first time using ati card for dual it took me awhile too. is this the first time doing a custom xorg.conf for urself?
[04:22] <bwlang> Wimpog: to me?
[04:22] <Wimpog> yeah
[04:23] <bwlang> Wimpog: i didn't get anything...
[04:23] <Wimpog> xtknight: whereis that iftab?
[04:23] <cafuego_> Wimpog: driver laod order. You can fix it using /etc/iftab
[04:23] <bulmer> wimpog because bunch of things are done in parallel at boot?
[04:23] <|Shadow|> killert i've had linux installed for around 6 hours, lol
[04:23] <whonicca> whats the font ubuntu's build of firefox uses
[04:23] <|Shadow|> one of the first things i want going is my dual display.
[04:23] <Wimpog> bwlang: write to me in private
[04:23] <xtknight> Wimpog: google it, i have no idea what the file is but i have heard it in reference to your problem
[04:23] <rexxenexx> Pici: if there are multiple names then more than one person is logged in?
[04:23] <Wimpog> bulmer: I don't think stuff goes in parrallel
[04:23] <xtknight> Wimpog: or listen to cafuego_, that works too
[04:23] <|Shadow|> install took forever too, the iso i downloaded was currupt so i had to download it again, so install took like 8 hours :(
[04:24] <Pici> rexxenexx, yes
[04:24] <|Shadow|> hopefully i'll get it all to work though :P
[04:24] <rexxenexx> jesus
[04:24] <Wimpog> cafuego_: I'll try it
[04:24] <killert> |Shadow|: the ati install did not config a standard xorg.conf
[04:24] <cafuego_> there is no try
[04:24] <Ferret> |Shadow|: Quicker and cheaper than going to a shop to buy Windows ;)
[04:24] <bwlang> cafuego: i'm not sure if it's device load order... eth0 is always eth0, but eth1 is sometimes *skipped*
[04:24] <cafuego_> bwlang: skipped or stolen by eth1394?
[04:24] <|Shadow|> Ferret i didn't need to, my windows came free with my box ;)
[04:24] <Epistax> All I've tried to do since getting home from work is to get my graphics card working fully with Ubuntu. I don't see any reason to put any more time into this.
[04:25] <bwlang> cafuego: still waiting for the dmesg to find out...
[04:25] <Ferret> |Shadow|: Get a rebate ;p
[04:25] <killert> ferret: better graphics and still safer than vista
[04:25] <|Shadow|> lol
[04:25] <Ferret> |Shadow|: I know you can in the UK, dunno about elsewhere
[04:25] <Wimpog> cafuego_: I don't have any 1394 interfaces, only some usbs and two ethernets
[04:25] <bwlang> cafuego: he *says* there's nothing wierd like a usb ethernet...
[04:25] <xtknight> Epistax: why not?
[04:25] <killert> |Shadow|: u did ./installer  right?
[04:25] <xtknight> Epistax: what video card?
[04:25] <rexxenexx> Pici: whats the common way someone could login, i have five instances. I blocked telnet only on firewalker.
[04:25] <swordman235> question
[04:25] <bwlang> Wimpog: just post that dmesg at pastebin.ca
[04:25] <nikitis> What are these universe and Multiverse repositories?
[04:25] <xtknight> !universe | nikitis
[04:25] <ubotu> nikitis: 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
[04:25] <swordman235> will ubuntu run a .exe
[04:26] <|Shadow|> killert i don't recall doing anything like that no
[04:26] <Pirate-king> hey is ther any way to start 2 networks in irc when starting irc?
[04:26] <Epistax> xtknight: It's an Nvidia geforce2go, I've gotten it working in gentoo, fedora, redhat and mandrake before. Ubuntu? Heck no!
[04:26] <xtknight> swordman235: for all intents and purposes, no.
[04:26] <|Shadow|> i've just been following these guides, and theres nothing in there about that.
[04:26] <cafuego_> rexxenexx: On a default installation, you have no way of logging in remotely.
[04:26] <killert> |Shadow|: did u download the ati installer for your radeon x1600?
[04:26] <rexxenexx> hmm
[04:26] <az19> <- Newbie need help finding compatible RADEON x1600 driver
[04:26] <xtknight> Epistax: using nvidia proprietary drivers?
[04:26] <Wimpog> cafuego_: you know what??? /etc/iftab only has ONE static entry for eth0 and there is NONE for eth1. Could that be a problem?
[04:26] <xtknight> az19: driver off ati.com
[04:26] <|Shadow|> killert yes i did
[04:26] <|Shadow|> and i installed it.
[04:26] <blanky> hey guys
[04:26] <cafuego_> Wimpog: shouldn't be, but add one and see how you go.
[04:26] <killert> why does everyone have a x1600
[04:26] <blanky> I need a program (GUI) that shows the time
[04:27] <blanky> which one can I use?
[04:27] <xtknight> blanky: the gnom applet?
[04:27] <az19> lol
[04:27] <cafuego_> Why do people that want Linux buy ATI?
[04:27] <blanky> xtknight: which one?
[04:27] <|Shadow|> because my brother built my pc and i hate him with a vengance?
[04:27] <ArnottAus> xtknight: hey mate... wondered if you could help me with a problem...
[04:27] <Epistax> xtknight: Yep. Everything loads up, not one error message. Get a nice shiny NVidia splash screen.  GLX is set to Load in xorg.conf, but GL is for some reason broken
[04:27] <Pirate-king> hey is ther any way to connect to 2 networks in irc when starting irc?
[04:27] <killert> |Shadow|: so you did run the installer and go through the screens and it made a default xorg.conf for you right?
[04:27] <xtknight> blanky: the on in the top right of the screen?
[04:27] <Wimpog> bwlang: whereis that pastebin.ca? I started to use this chat recently and don't know many things
[04:27] <blanky> xtknight: which one, I don't mean that one
[04:27] <xtknight> ArnottAus: sure
[04:27] <blanky> xtknight: sorry I meant to say, besides that one
[04:27] <xtknight> blanky: oh?  is there something else you're looking for
[04:27] <bwlang> wimpog: it's a website...
[04:27] <blanky> like in windows I can double click on the time and it shows me the clock
[04:27] <nikitis> Ok, i know what a repository is.  I want to know what kind of stuff you get from the Multiverse
[04:27] <EnsignRedshirt> blanky: If you are feeling retro, there is always xclock
[04:27] <|Shadow|> i went through the installer, it never did anything strange with the screens
[04:27] <az19> the driver i downloaded didnt work
[04:27] <xtknight> Epistax: use an xorg.conf from one of your other linuxees?
[04:28] <blanky> EnsignRedshirt: haha nah thanks
[04:28] <xtknight> Epistax: either that or ubuntu uses an xorg that's too new, may not be anything that can be done about it
[04:28] <ArnottAus> xtknight: thanks mate! I have a a dlink wireless card which uses the rt73usb drivers.....
[04:28] <bwlang> Wimpog: while you're at it... post the contents of /etc/iftab too
[04:28] <|Shadow|> killert shall i run it again?
[04:28] <nikitis> xtknight: i know what a repository is.  I would like to know what kind of stuff comes from the universe and multiverse repositories
[04:28] <ArnottAus> xtknight: it loads the drivers and the network settings are right but it still won't properly associate with my ap...
[04:28] <killert> |Shadow|: wait i am going to the screen shots page now
[04:28] <Epistax> xtknight: Yeah I don't think that'd work.  According to Xorg.0.log, there are no problems at all.
[04:28] <Wimpog> bwlang: ok
[04:29] <xtknight> nikitis: stuff not officially supported by ubuntu.  it comes from the Debian package universe
[04:29] <|Shadow|> killert ok i have a webcam and stuff i can show you what im doing if that helps
[04:29] <xtknight> nikitis: lots of development packages and other games that work on debian and ubuntu
[04:29] <nikitis> xtknight: stuff like ffmpeg and codecs and stuff?
[04:29] <pierrelourens> hey all, here from ubuntu LiveCD for first time :)
[04:29] <killert> |Shadow|: we wont go that far yet
[04:29] <|Shadow|> (im talking to you from my laptop that has windows on it)
[04:29] <|Shadow|> ok :)
[04:29] <xtknight> nikitis: um not sure if those are in multiverse they might be official
[04:29] <phixnay> xtknight: ok, configure went with no errors
[04:29] <phixnay> trying make depend now
[04:29] <nikitis> xtknight: ok thanks
[04:30] <phixnay> xtknight: ok wait
[04:30] <xtknight> ArnottAus: try `sudo iwconfig if0 ap any`  ?  (if0 being the interface)
[04:30] <rexxenexx> when you type 'users' how can you get more information on the username instances?
[04:30] <xtknight> rexxenexx: what info?
[04:30] <killert> |Shadow|: ok run fglrxconfig
[04:30] <jelloman> who was helping me with the...ubuntu hidden boot again
[04:30] <phixnay> xtknight: should I run configure like this "LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" ./configure"
[04:30] <Epistax> Question: What's the difference between the nvidia and nvidia-glx package, and when I download the installer from NVidia directly, is it installing both?
[04:30] <|Shadow|> killert how do i do that?
[04:30] <jelloman> ?
[04:30] <rexxenexx> xtknight anything more than just the username
[04:30] <xtknight> phixnay: yes
[04:30] <ArnottAus> xtknight: i have tried that already... it doesn't work because the ap uses WEP...
[04:30] <cafuego_> rexxenexx: Like the output of `w'.?
[04:30] <jelloman> bc i had a problem
[04:30] <|Shadow|> is that the ATI Control thing in the applications menu?
[04:30] <Wimpog> bwlang: http://pastebin.ca/332615
[04:31] <ArnottAus> xtknight: i have given it the key using iwconfig wlan0 key ....
[04:31] <killert> |Shadow|: well hey go to console and backup ur xorg.conf with cp /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf_backup
[04:31] <pierrelourens> is there any way i can change the screen resolution on the LiveCD, basically without rebooting
[04:31] <xtknight> ArnottAus: try `iwevent` and watch for events when turning on the interface
[04:31] <|Shadow|> i backed up my xorg.conf earlier when people started telling me to fiddle with it, i have a copy saved in desktop
[04:31] <EnsignRedshirt> rexxenexx: You can also use the "who" command: man who
[04:31] <Wimpog> cafuego_: have you had similar situation to mine? that is when interface changes its name???
[04:31] <xtknight> pierrelourens: goto system admin screen resolution?
[04:32] <xtknight> ` xrandr -q  `  for a list of currently available resolutions in the terminal
[04:32] <pierrelourens> nope, running on macbook so that's unusual resolution
[04:32] <phixnay> xtknight: ok that worked. I'm doing make depend now
[04:32] <spuddogg_> kitche, are you here?
[04:32] <bwlang> wimpog: can you put the whole dmesg up?  i think the fact htat you're using 8139too and 8139cp might be a clue but i need to see more.
[04:32] <cafuego_> Wimpog: yeah, but it was eth0 and eth1 swapping places; iftab fixed that.
[04:32] <Epistax> Oh well. I'm going to try installing nvidia glx legacy one more time, and it if decides to break nvidia legacy, that's it no more ubuntu for me. :P
[04:32] <xtknight> pierrelourens: shut down X on the livecd, add a mode line, restart X
[04:32] <xtknight> phixnay: told you we'd get it working
[04:32] <gili> ok folks i am looking for a simple xvid to DVD program...something like ConvertXtoDvd in windoze....
[04:32] <bwlang> Wimpog: also you'll want another line in iftab for eth1 with the proper mac address.
[04:32] <pierrelourens> xtknight: how?
[04:32] <Wimpog> bwlang: that is the whole dmesg
[04:33] <phixnay> ok make depend finished
[04:33] <ArnottAus> xtknight: it says wlan0 enryption key ****-****-**
[04:33] <phixnay> make all?
[04:33] <Wimpog> bwlang: do I also put arp 1 for eth1???
[04:33] <xtknight> pierrelourens: what resolution do you want?
[04:33] <Dimp> whats a good video editing software?
[04:33] <pierrelourens> 1280 x 800
[04:33] <gili> ok folks i am looking for a simple xvid to DVD program that also allows making simple titel menus...something like ConvertXtoDvd in windoze....
[04:33] <bwlang> wimpog: i mean without the grep... just the result of cat /var/log/dmesg (it will be quite long)
[04:33] <ArnottAus> xtknight: wlan0 set essid "Thomas"
[04:33] <xtknight> Dimp:  cinelerra i think?
[04:33] <jelloman> can someone help me modifying my menu.lst aka bootloader
[04:33] <Wimpog> ok
[04:33] <bwlang> wimpog: yep
[04:33] <spuddogg_> Can someone help me out mounting 2 hard drives I used to use in Windows? (One of them is a RAID set making a 500GB drive from 2 250's, the other is a 500GB single drive)  I cannot figure this out for the life of me
[04:33] <ArnottAus> xtknight: which is correct...but that's all..
[04:33] <Dimp> xtknight: cant get it
[04:33] <bwlang> wimpog: eg: eth1 mac 00:00:xx:xx:xx arp 1
[04:33] <xtknight> ArnottAus: hmm.  what about 'sudo dhclient if0' (if0 being interface)
[04:34] <|Shadow|> killert what should i do now?
[04:34] <Epistax> Time to reboot the machine.  If X doesn't load, good riddance Ubuntu.
[04:34] <rexxenexx> EnsignRedShirt: what does the "[username]  + pts/3" mean?
[04:34] <Pirate-king> where can I get themes for ubuntu
[04:34] <phixnay> xtknight - ok if I remember right, make all takes a very, very long time. I'll tell you when it's done
[04:34] <xtknight> pierrelourens: are you on a different PC now?
[04:34] <Pirate-king> like the look of fluxbox
[04:34] <xtknight> pierrelourens: (than the laptop)
[04:34] <pbx> If I've suddenly run out of disk space, where's a good place to start hunting for stuff to kill?
[04:34] <[glutony] > hi everyone
[04:34] <pierrelourens> xtknight: no
[04:34] <bwlang> Epistax: you don't need to waste your time rebooting... simply /etc/init.d/gdm restart should do what you want.
[04:34] <xtknight> pbx: use a directory stat program to find out where all your space went
[04:34] <Wimpog> bwlang: ok, I'll try it, I'm copying the output from dmsg
[04:34] <Pirate-king> hello glutony
[04:34] <xtknight> pbx: applications->access->disk space analyzer
[04:34] <killert> |Shadow|: after that run fglrxconfig to make a default xorg.conf file
[04:35] <ArnottAus> xtknight: it is sending DHCPDISCOVER messages....
[04:35] <jelloman> Can someone help me
[04:35] <jelloman> ??
[04:35] <|Shadow|> killert how do i do that?

[04:36] <pierrelourens> xtknight: done
[04:36] <xtknight> pierrelourens: find SubSection     "Display" depth 24

[04:36] <rexxenexx> ah cool thx
[04:36] <EnsignRedshirt> rexxenexx: I'm sure some linux guru here could give a "real" answer.

The first time was a disaster, with loosing my windowsxp 32 partition on the process of inctalling ubuntu. This time i am backing up everything from my windows pertition. Is it possible that for some reason Ubuntu installer might not recognize my 32 windowsxp on a 64bit system?

[04:37] <blanky> cafuego: yeah that key!

[04:40] <xtknight> phixnay: no idea dude. it's a mess. i  would start over with the guide and make sure you did everything correctly.  also maybe do "make clean" to wipe out some crap before compiling again

[04:44] <jelloman> I know pbx
[04:44] <bwlang> spuddogg: it the raid is a windows raid, i don't think you can access it.
[04:44] <Wimpog> bwlang: I just rebooted, and everything went well
[04:44] <blanky> gili: but the command line are typically the best, in fact, most GUIs are typically just front ends to those command line solutions, and the command line solutions can be really helpful and quicker to use
[04:44] <ArnottAus> xtknight: when i type sudo  iwconfig wlan0 ap any the iwevent window shows nothing... no activity at all
[04:44] <jelloman> its just i'm not really handy with editing

[04:46] <Flannel> jelloman: ontop doesn't matter!  I've been saying that.  And, xtknight, that won't work.
[04:47] <gili> i have been using command line forever and dont mind learning new stuff
[04:47] <Wimpog> bwlang: that never happened with eth0, and eth0's line was already in iftab
[04:47] <xtknight> ArnottAus: sorry, i''m not that familiar with wireless stuf. i guess its not picking it up because it uses WEP?
[04:47] <jelloman> then someone edit it right
[04:47] <jelloman> bc
[04:47] <jelloman> i cant
[04:47] <corevette> how do you make a shortcut to a folder
[04:47] <jelloman> let me repeat that...CANT
[04:47] <chona> run files.c
[04:47] <huck> I've tried burning a DVD from ISO twice, and still cannot play it in my home DVD player. It plays on the PC fine, but I dont know what's wrong. I havent seen any settings to change anything. I'm using GnomeBaker. Is there something better, or somethign I should do?
[04:47] <bwlang> wimpog: yeah ... it's all the eth drivers that have me confused.
[04:47] <ArnottAus> xtknight: yeah maybe.. this is such a pain... I've been at this for a week now...
[04:47] <chona> help run c files
[04:47] <xtknight> Flannel: why not?
[04:48] <spuddogg> bwlang, sorry I had to reboot...Back now
[04:48] <blanky> gili: Well, I'm sorry, I don't know of any GUIs, maybe you can find some though, I know about MeWig, the GUI front end for mencoder on windows, maybe there's a similar one, search synaptic, also look for a GUI front end to ffmpeg
[04:48] <xtknight> chona: gcc -o executable sourcefile.c && ./executable
[04:48] <meatfryer> ls
[04:48] <spuddogg> bwlang, is there a GUI interface I can install for managing HDs?
[04:48] <blanky> gili: if not, looks like you're on your own, but creating front ends are simple, such as using Kommander, which is what kmpg2 was written in I believe
[04:48] <ArnottAus> xtknight: all i need is net access for synaptic so i can get Kdevelop...
[04:48] <meatfryer> ppooo
[04:48] <aletornw> how can i change where grub is installed with the alternate cd??
[04:48] <meatfryer> this is NOT what I wanted
[04:48] <Flannel> xtknight: once he updates his kernel, that listing gets re-written.  Which is why there's the "don't edit between these lines" warnings
[04:48] <meatfryer> exit
[04:48] <EnsignRedshirt> chona: Do you know how to compile and run a C program?  If not, you could also try asking for help at ##c
[04:48] <gili> right
[04:48] <bwlang> spuddogg: i think so... but i don't know it
[04:48] <xtknight> Flannel: i assumed he wouldn't even be using linux anymore
[04:49] <jturek> xtknight: how do i paste from aterm into firefox
[04:49] <xtknight> ArnottAus: hmm.  well you could get it by alternate means.  or temporarily diasble wep and use mac filtering instead?
[04:49] <xtknight> jturek: aterm?  why not gnome terminal?
[04:49] <IdleOne> xtknight: wouldnt just commenting out the ubuntu lines make it default to booting windows and if so would that also mean that ubuntu couldnt boot?
[04:49] <Flannel> jelloman: http://pastebin.com/870912'
[04:49] <Flannel> er, without the '
[04:49] <xtknight> jturek: in any case i have no idea.  maybe select it and right click is copy
[04:49] <Flannel> xtknight: no, he just wants it to boot to windows by default.
[04:49] <corevette> how do you make a shortcut to a folder?
[04:50] <Flannel> jelloman: to boot to non-windows, you'll need to hit escape (or comment hiddenmenu again)
[04:50] <ArnottAus> xtknight: unfortunately it's my landlord's router.. so that's not an option...
[04:50] <chona> help c packages
[04:50] <jelloman> i know flannel
[04:50] <aletornw> help please.. i'm instlaling ubuntu in a slave drive, windows in the master, and want to keep windows boot untouched
[04:50] <Flannel> jelloman: actually, you probably want to change the timeout as well.  down to 3 or something.
[04:50] <jelloman> kk
[04:50] <aletornw> i want to install grub in the slave
[04:50] <gili> blanky: it is one of those things that is the only reason why i still have to dualboot to windows....like i said i dont mind getting my hands dirty and learning mencoder and ffmpeg commands but the others here have tons of xvids they like burning to dvd's and they want a quick and simple solution.
[04:50] <aletornw> but i cant
[04:50] <jzaun> Hello I need to be able to connect my client (rhythmbox or banshee) to iTunes7 shares... in both I see the share but no list of music.... all my friends use iTunes 7 and I'm the only one with linux. Any help would be great!
[04:50] <EnsignRedshirt> !ask | richbum-nix
[04:50] <ubotu> richbum-nix: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:50] <Flannel> aletornw: you can't without a bootdisk, or changing the boot order in your BIOS.
[04:50] <richbum-nix> thanks...
[04:50] <ArnottAus> xtknight: i tried getting the sources but the wouldn't install manually... i kept getting config errors...
[04:50] <gili> blanky: it took me forever to persuad them to go the ubuntu way....
[04:51] <richbum-nix> what's the syntax to connect to an irc network with a specific port?
[04:51] <aletornw> i want to install grub in the slave drive, so i boot changing the boot order
[04:51] <xtknight> ArnottAus: doesn't sound good.  i would just grab the binaries and copy  them to a usb stick or something
[04:51] <richbum-nix> using gnome-xchat
[04:51] <huck> anyone know a way to get my DVD burner to make DVD's compatible with my home DVD player?
[04:51] <blanky> gili: Again, if you don't mind, search for GUI front ends in synaptic or on the net, you could also simply learn the terminal way, and write simple scripts that can extremely easy automate the process, even more so than a GUI
[04:51] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: /server irc.network.com:port
[04:51] <blanky> gili: but I understand you
[04:51] <Jessehk> Could anyone paste the contents of a defualt .bashrc file somewhere? I deleted mine accidentally.
[04:51] <richbum-nix> colon eh?  ok.. I'll try it, thanks
[04:51] <gili> blanky: yeah....thats not a bad idea
[04:52] <gili> blanky: anyways....thanks
[04:52] <ArnottAus> xtknight: do you know where i an get the bianries from?
[04:52] <corevette> i need help

[04:53] <EnsignRedshirt> chona: For help with C: /join ##c
[04:53] <Jessehk> xtknight, Thanks :)
[04:53] <ArnottAus> xtknight: sorry mate.. you might have to explain some more... i am a moderate newb to linux.. it doesn't hit me so bad because i'm a programmer but some things still take some learning!
[04:53] <aletornw> help please.. i'm instlaling ubuntu in a slave drive, windows in the master, and want to keep windows boot untouched, i want to install grub in the slave, but the alternate cd doesn't ask
[04:53] <xtknight> jturek: you might ask in #linux.  im not sure.  did you try reinstalling mc?
[04:53] <EnsignRedshirt> chona: For help with php: /join ##php
[04:53] <jturek> xtknight: it comes up correctly in gnome-terminal
[04:53] <richbum-nix> nope.. that didn't work
[04:53] <Wimpog> bwlang: Thanks for your help!
[04:53] <xtknight> ArnottAus: well i can see you're in a bit of a conundrum
[04:53] <Wimpog> cafuego_: Thanks for your help!
[04:54] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: /server irc.network.com port
[04:54] <IdleOne> sorry
[04:54] <xtknight> jturek: sorry, i have no idea
[04:54] <blanky> aletornw: I think it doesn't matter, you could always remove it using the recovery console from the windows install CD, with the command 'FIXMBR'
[04:54] <cafuego_> Wimpog: it's behaving now?

[04:54] <rageagainstthis_> is there a command to check all the ips on my network?
[04:54] <richbum-nix> space instead?  hey Idle : P
[04:54] <xtknight> ArnottAus: you'd have to manually get kdevelop to the computer somehow
[04:54] <aletornw> yes but i prefer not touching windows at all
[04:54] <ArnottAus> xtknight: true... very true... i just need a development machine for a project i'm working on and I have spent a week trying to do that!...
[04:54] <richbum-nix> I tried that too
[04:54] <brainly-green> how come I can't copy from my command line and paste into emacs
[04:54] <zooted_> Hello, Planet Penguin Racer is crashing when I start the game after the initial snow screen.  It hangs and throws me back into the desktop which is frozen completely and I need to restart GDM from a shell to regain access to the box.  This is using the Nvidia legacy drivers.  Is this a known issue?
[04:54] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: been a long time since I tried joining specific ports :P
[04:54] <bulmer> rageagainstthis_: ifconfig -a
[04:54] <blanky> ArnottAus: what's the question, which IDE?
[04:55] <Wimpog> cafuego_: It is fine! Once I added line for eth1. There was already a line for eth0, so I guess that prevented eth0 from changing it's name
[04:55] <ArnottAus> xtknight: i have used 2 different wireless cards.. still no good...
[04:55] <richbum-nix> it gave me something different
[04:55] <blanky> zooted_: so you have the drivers installed and you know you have hardware acceleration?
[04:55] <Jelloman> hey flannel
[04:55] <zooted_> Oh yes, the OS is Edubunty 6.10 (Edgy).
[04:55] <ArnottAus> blanky: Kdevelop...
[04:55] <Jelloman> it gave me error 11
[04:55] <rageagainstthis_> bulmer: thanks
[04:55] <blanky> ArnottAus: what?
[04:55] <richbum-nix> remote closed socket
[04:55] <blanky> ArnottAus: No I meant, what's the question, is the question which IDE to use?
[04:55] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: then you arent supposed to connect there
[04:55] <Jelloman> Saying uknown command parameter or something
[04:55] <richbum-nix> lol
[04:55] <iidadmin> hello every one im new to this channel
[04:56] <richbum-nix> but, they're expecting me : P
[04:56] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: what network and port?
[04:56] <iidadmin> can u show me how to do it
[04:56] <ArnottAus> blanky: oh sorry mate no... my wireless is not working so i'm trying to find a binary or something of kdevelop..
[04:56] <richbum-nix> our home base.. yanno : )
[04:56] <blanky> iidadmin: how to do what?
[04:56] <richbum-nix> If you're the Idle I think you are
[04:56] <coda__> hi there
[04:56] <ArnottAus> blanky: i tried the source but i kept getting fatal config errors..
[04:56] <iidadmin> experience linux
[04:56] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: I dont think I am
[04:56] <blanky> ArnottAus: oh, so you want to get the package of kdevelop so you can put it on your machine?
[04:56] <EnsignRedshirt> brainly-green: It doesn't work if you select with left-click-and-drag, and insert with middle-click?
[04:56] <Jelloman> Flannel?
[04:57] <corevette> does anyone know how to make a shortcut go to a folder????
[04:57] <iidadmin> soory for interupting the conversation
[04:57] <wellstevesays> Can anyone help me with TightVNC?
[04:57] <richbum-nix> wow.. what're the chances : )
[04:57] <Pirate-king> ive got 2 folders I can't delete
[04:57] <richbum-nix> 216.93.175.118 port 7100
[04:57] <Pirate-king> how do I delete them I enabled permisions
[04:57] <Jelloman> ?
[04:57] <ArnottAus> blanky: sure if that works... then that would be great! sorry mate bit of a newb. but not too green!
[04:57] <richbum-nix> its an ssl channel, and that's already enabled
[04:57] <zooted_> blanky: yes, pretty sure, glxinfo reports Nvidia GLX, I tweaked xorg.conf to add [Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "on"]  which is apparently necessary for GLX to function on Edgy with the legacy nvidia drivers.  Xscreensavers are awesome, etc.
[04:57] <xtknight> ArnottAus: i'm afraid it's my bed time.
[04:58] <Pirate-king> empty folders
[04:58] <richbum-nix> nite knight
[04:58] <xtknight> ArnottAus: not sure how youre going to get kdevelop there.  i guess i'd still work on getting wireless working.
[04:58] <xtknight> cya
[04:58] <iidadmin> is there any substitute for scribus on desktop publishing linux
[04:58] <blanky> zooted_: I'm sorry, try reasking your question, as I don't know what to do, maybe others might
[04:58] <blanky> ArnottAus: hold on
[04:58] <ArnottAus> xtknight: ok mate.. i really aprreciate your help! good new trick with iwevent!
[04:58] <zooted_> blanky: thanks, I will.
[04:58] <blanky> Guys, is there a way I can use apt-get to download the .deb file and not actually installed it? Just retrieve the debian package?
[04:58] <Jelloman> Flannel!?
[04:58] <Pirate-king> "/home/tear.../gspca.mod" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.
[04:58] <iidadmin> ??
[04:59] <mister_roboto> Pirate-king: to delete a directory, you must have write permission to the parent directory
[04:59] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: if you have a password you might need to /server ip port:pass not sure though

[04:59] <blanky> ArnottAus: edgy?
[04:59] <richbum-nix> there isn't one
[04:59] <BrettMeister> Hi, good folks.  Question: Does the 6.10 support WPA-PSK-AES security on wireless?
[04:59] <ArnottAus> blanky: yeah wireless would be the best option... but my card refuses to properly assocaite with my ap... i have tried 2 different cards as well as edgy and dapper...
[04:59] <EnsignRedshirt> blanky: check 'man apt-get', and look for the -d option.
[04:59] <ArnottAus> blanky: yeah edgy now..
[04:59] <blanky> EnsignRedshirt: thanks
[04:59] <richbum-nix> I'm there already using win/mirc, so I know its accessable
[05:00] <richbum-nix> just trying to learn nix : /
[05:00] <blanky> EnsignRedshirt: so, sudo apt-get install -d blah ?
[05:00] <blanky> EnsignRedshirt: thanks
[05:00] <zooted_> ArnottAus: sorry to jump in, is it an Atheros card and are you using Mac filtering?
[05:00] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: wont let me connect either
[05:00] <coda__> does anyone know how to only apply accents to vocals by using the "apostrophe + vocal" combinations?
[05:00] <richbum-nix> odd.. and the thing is, I used to connect with another installation of linux
[05:00] <ArnottAus> zooted_: no it's a D-Link usb card.. uses the rt73usb driver..
[05:01] <blanky> ArnottAus: are you on an ubuntu machine with net at the moment? I mean, I know your machine doesn't have net, but do you have another one from which you can use apt-get?
[05:01] <blanky> EnsignRedshirt: right
[05:01] <blanky> ?
[05:01] <BrettMeister> Does 6.10 only support WEP encription for wireless or does it support WPA PSK?
[05:01] <richbum-nix> maybe it's this gnome-xchat
[05:01] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: dont think linux has anything to do with it
[05:01] <richbum-nix> maybe if I used the regular xchat
[05:01] <ArnottAus> blanky:  no my machine I'm on now is winblows

[05:01] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: Im on reg xchat
[05:01] <blanky> richbum-nix: read that, enable the other repositories, then sudo apt-get install xchat
[05:01] <blanky> ArnottAus: hmm...
[05:01] <EnsignRedshirt> EnsignRedshirt: That shoudl work.  You can always add the -s option to see what apt-get *would* do, without actually doing it.
[05:02] <ArnottAus> zooted_: youu're right jumping in too btw! and help or advice is appreciated.. soooo frustrated!.

[05:02] <IdleOne> richbum-nix: np sorry I couldnt help more
[05:02] <richbum-nix> is cool : )
[05:03] <blanky> You can probably download the package and all the packages it depends on, burn them, then put them on ubuntu and install the kdevelop package, which should automatically install the rest
[05:03] <codi> need help with mythtv. got it all installed and have finished with mythsetup
[05:03] <blanky> ArnottAus: sorry that's the only way I can think of it, otherwise, I'd focus more on getting my internet to work

[05:04] <jelloman> Flannel?
[05:04] <ArnottAus> blanky: thanks mate! that looks good actually.. i would love to get wireless working though.. using synaptic is so much better than downloading every package dependancy myself...
[05:04] <ArnottAus> blanky: any ideas??
[05:05] <blanky> ArnottAus: Unfortunately I have no experience with wireless at all, try asking your question here, describing your problem as vividly as you can, give as much information as you can, it's bound to get fixed
[05:06] <ArnottAus> blanky: i have already... it largely gets ignored as there are so many people doing the same... i will try again now...
[05:06] <blanky> ArnottAus: Patience :P also, check out http://www.ubuntuforums.org
[05:07] <blanky> ArnottAus: I'd be more worried about getting your net to work than how to get kdevelop on your machine
[05:07] <Pirate-king> what is the command line to find out if my nvida card is using the nvidia drivers
[05:07] <bwlang> jriffle: you're making me sad... i think grub is vastly superior to lilo... but to get rid of it you simply have to setup a lilo.conf file and run lilo to overwrite the mbr

[05:09] <ArnottAus> blanky: i have already... i haven't found anything about this problem or anything like it..

[05:09] <ArnottAus> yeah but newer versions recognize more cards

[05:10] <brimondyl> not mine only the older ones
[05:10] <blanky> you've read that, right ArnottAus ?
[05:10] <ArnottAus> blanky: ahh ok... good idea.. yeah i've read the wifi docs... sooo many times :-p
[05:10] <bobovski> thanks blanky. jriffle, don't know this is my first wireless setup. what can I look for in the device manager?
[05:11] <ArnottAus> blanky: going to forums now...
[05:11] <blanky> ArnottAus: ask in the correct section, act as professional as you can, keep your cool, give as much information as you can
[05:11] <jriffle> bobovski, what is the name of your wireless card, or run lspci and look for the wireless card there

[05:14] <verve> question.. my system locked up (was doing something in wine) and i had to hard reset.. if Ubuntu needed to fsck, would it have done it?

[05:15] <bobovski> phaedra
[05:15] <chona> help gcc: command not found..i have already installed build-essential
[05:15] <blanky> chona: we heard you
[05:16] <bwlang> spuddogg: oh... there is a DIM hope then... you'll have to learn about exactly what kind of raid subsystem you're using and do some research to see if there are any linux drivers for it.  i can't help you with that... It probably won't work though - most of those built-in raids are not supported.
[05:16] <bobovski> er, phaedra, no I haven't
[05:16] <EnsignRedshirt> brainly-green: Try asking in #emacs
[05:16] <blanky> chona: type gc then press TAB
[05:16] <jriffle> bobovski, Wireless Not Standard, right from dell's site
[05:17] <phaedra> bobovski, Look it up there to see if there are any known probs...
[05:17] <chona> ok..then waht
[05:17] <chona> then what?
[05:17] <spuddogg> bwlang, that is not good news for me...If that is the case, I'll have to go back to Winblows :( :( :(
[05:17] <Jelloman> Hey guys i did it
[05:17] <bobovski> jriffle: can I verify that in the bios?
[05:17] <Jelloman> my comp boots straight to...windows
[05:17] <chona> gcalctool         gcj-dbtool-4.0    gconf-merge-tree  gconftool-2
[05:17] <chona> gcj-dbtool        gconf-editor      gconftool         gcore
[05:17] <Jelloman> But i have a problem
[05:17] <corevette> how do you make a shortcut to a folder?
[05:17] <Jelloman> how do i still keep the bios pass block
[05:17] <Jelloman> it skips it
[05:17] <Jelloman> ...
[05:18] <Jelloman> so does anyone know how to do it
[05:18] <bobovski> phaedra: ethernet card works perfectly, as does everything else. I don't see any issues with the cards
[05:18] <blanky> chona: you already installed build-essential?
[05:18] <bobovski> phaedra: on that site, that is
[05:18] <chona> yes.. i did
[05:18] <Jelloman> Flannel
[05:18] <Flannel> Jelloman: hit escape to get to the grub menu
[05:18] <chona> i run this: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:18] <Jelloman> noooon
[05:18] <bwlang> spuddogg: sorry man... thems the breaks.  If you get a decent raid card (3ware) then you'd be fine.
[05:18] <Jelloman> not that
[05:18] <Jelloman> i still want bios to be passworded
[05:18] <jriffle> bobovski, you can go to dell.com look for support. type in the asset tag on the label on the back of the laptop and it will tell you what specs it has
[05:18] <Jelloman> bc my dad needs to not be suspicious
[05:19] <jriffle> bobovski, sorry gotta go for now
[05:19] <Jelloman> like i put a password on bios
[05:19] <Jelloman> but it skips it >>
[05:19] <Flannel> Jelloman: er, grub has nothing to do with the BIOS password.
[05:19] <spuddogg> bwlang, so a pci raid controller may solve my problem?  also, how do i go about finding out if the one on the motherboard is supported?
[05:19] <bobovski> jriffle: thanks!
[05:19] <chona> im trying it again..for the third time
[05:19] <Jelloman> WEll Flannel
[05:19] <Jelloman> It skips it
[05:20] <Jelloman> So what am I supposed to do :\
[05:20] <bwlang> spuddogg: not any pci raid card.. the promise ones are crap... most of the low end adaptec ones are just as bad.  I've only had success with 3ware cards and higher end scsi raid stuff
[05:20] <kids>  yo
[05:20] <Jelloman> And i dont want my dad going WDF NOOB
[05:20] <junmin> hi, guys. do you if there is any keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout??!
[05:20] <unkmar> Hmm.
[05:20] <phaedra> bobovski, Try http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html
[05:20] <bwlang> spuddogg: google is your friend when it comes to finding out just what you have on your motherboard
[05:21] <kids> does any one know why my gaim internet messenger for linux keep signing me out everytime i try to sign in??
[05:21] <unkmar> I have a ubuntu server install
[05:21] <unkmar> I'm not even sure how to ask the system which version of ubuntu it is.
[05:22] <blanky> chona: #ubuntu-ph
[05:22] <an0k> why doesn't my windows key work?
[05:22] <spuddogg> bwlang, after looking around in the device manager, there IS a driver installed for my on-board raid controller.  "strlist"?
[05:22] <kids> it was working for a bit but now it wont stay online
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> !winkey | an0k
[05:22] <zooted_> Argggggh!  I need ppracer, this machine is USELESS without it!  Anyone here experiencing crashes on start with ppracer after the snowflake "press any key to start" screen?
[05:22] <ubotu> an0k: To use the windows key in keyboard shortcuts as a modifier (like ALT): Run 'xmodmap' and see what Super_L corresponds to.  Then follow method B at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560 and use <mod4> (or whatever Super_L corresponded to with 'xmodmap') as the modifier. For example, a shortcut to use windows key + d would look like '<mod4>d'
[05:22] <unkmar> It was runing great prior to the PC failure.  I managed to recover the HDD before teh PC died.
[05:22] <theflyingfool> i cant seem to connect to one of my samba shares, all of my other ones work
[05:22] <bwlang> spuddogg: i have no idea what that is
[05:22] <spuddogg> bwlang, lol, me either
[05:22] <kids> lol
[05:22] <AzMoo> Hey, is there any way I can stream videos across a network share?
[05:22] <Bxnp> theflyingfool: firewall
[05:23] <bwlang> AzMoo: have a look at vlc
[05:23] <theflyingfool> Bxnp, on the win computer?
[05:23] <an0k> this is what xmodmap says about my windows key:  Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80) . But it still isn't working
[05:23] <Bxnp> on both theflyingfool
[05:23] <AzMoo> bwlang, will do, cheers.
[05:24] <unkmar> I've moved the HDD to another PC. it boots fine. it has a network card yet I'm don't appear to be detecting it when I run ifconfig.
[05:24] <unkmar> I only see local loopback with ifconfig.
[05:24] <theflyingfool> Bxnp, i didnt realize my ubuntu box had a firewall, and if it does why do my other samba shares connect
[05:24] <unkmar> I know the NIC is good. I was previously using the PC with m0n0wall as a router.
[05:24] <Bxnp> well by default ubuntu has no firewall enabled
[05:25] <theflyingfool> Bxnp, if its wasnt firewall do you have any ideas
[05:25] <Bxnp> check the samb configuration file
[05:25] <Bxnp> and see if there is something strange permission wise or acces wise
[05:26] <poningru> kbrosnan: it has?
[05:26] <dom> is it possible to have both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy drivers on the same machine?
[05:26] <dom> i have two video cards, one older than the other....
[05:26] <Bxnp> yes its possible
[05:26] <theflyingfool> Bxnp, is a ; = to a # in smb.conf
[05:26] <dom> how? apt won't let me...
[05:26] <dhr> I've installed flgrx on edgy and it appears to work.  But xvinfo says " no adaptors present".  /var/log/Xorg.0.log says "(II) Loading extension XVideo".  Any idea what's up?
[05:27] <GMWeezel> How can I delete all temporary files and "*.*~" backup files?
[05:27] <dhr> mplayer whines about no xv too.
[05:28] <poningru> kbrosnan: rofl
[05:28] <Bxnp> dunno theflyingfool, but i guess not
[05:28] <Bxnp> btw there is a samba channel on this server theflyingfool
[05:28] <theflyingfool> sweet
[05:29] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: rm *~  ?     dunno what you mean by temporary files
[05:29] <poningru> domo arigato mister_roboto
[05:29] <mister_roboto> poningru:  ;)
[05:29] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: e.g. I have noticed sometimes programs will leave behind backup copies. Say the file is "text.doc," it leaves "text.doc~"
[05:30] <verve> how do you schedule an fsck for next reboot?
[05:30] <verve> i've been googling, i can't find anything
[05:30] <verve> heh
[05:30] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: in case the editor crashes while editing, you have a backup
[05:30] <dom> does anyone know how to install both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy on the same machine?
[05:30] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: I know that but I want to know how to get rid of them.
[05:31] <holycow> just delete them
[05:31] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: ok, so use "rm"  :)
[05:31] <brainly-green> how do I tell which other application has a lock on /var/lib/dpkg/?
[05:31] <holycow> open up nautilus press ctrl/h and delete
[05:31] <bulmer> brainly-green: man lsof
[05:31] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: In all of my folders.
[05:31] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: Recursive.
[05:31] <holycow> man grep
[05:31] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: find / -name "*~" -exec rm {} \;
[05:31] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: seems a little risky to me
[05:32] <Pirate-king> hello
[05:32] <poningru> verve: you have to do a cron job @reboot
[05:32] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: How so, Mr. Ro-ba-to?
[05:32] <poningru> verve: do you have experience with crontab entries?
[05:32] <brainly-green> lsof | grep dpkg gives no result
[05:32] <poningru> http://www.nat32.com/nat32e/htm/cron.htm
[05:32] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: well... you might wipe something you actually want. but if you're sure, the above command will get rid of all files that end in tilde, if you have permission
[05:33] <Pirate-king> was installing nvidia drivers accedently erased one line in XvMCConfig and was just supposed to add a line does anyone know the other line?
[05:33] <poningru> verve: look at the end
[05:33] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: I haven't edited any files so I don't think I will. I have a complete backup if I do.
[05:33] <chona> help defragment
[05:34] <Pirate-king> did this     * Enable XvMC by creating the nVidia XvMC configuration file
[05:34] <Pirate-king> sudo gedit /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
[05:34] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: have at it then :)
[05:34] <Pirate-king> and was supposed to add a line
[05:34] <verve> poningru, so i edit my crontab, or root's?
[05:34] <brainly-green> I'm trying to do sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot
[05:35] <Pirate-king> libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1that one...but I also erase one line...and that is the line I need
[05:35] <ArnottAus> blanky: i'm heading to bed mate.. too much for me! thanks for your help mate!
[05:35] <brainly-green> it tells me "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable"
[05:35] <mister_roboto> GMWeezel: you can use the "find" without the "-exec" stuff on the end if you want to see the files it finds first
[05:35] <blanky> ArnottAus: no problem, later
[05:35] <GMWeezel> mister_roboto: Beat you to it but thanks.
[05:35] <brainly-green> however lsof | grep dpkg gets me nada
[05:36] <brainly-green> so why else could the resource be unavailable, if it's not open by another process?
[05:36] <mister_roboto> brainly-green: did you use sudo?

[05:37] <Flannel> !w32codecs | ledemente
[05:37] <ubotu> ledemente: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[05:37] <bulmer> brainly-green: your usage of lsof seems quite not right.. you have to use some options
[05:38] <chona> how to defrag
[05:38] <brainly-green> also thanks bulmer
[05:38] <Music_Shuffle> !defrag | chona
[05:38] <ubotu> chona: defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[05:40] <JackBandit> how do I change the window color from the nasty gray from Afterstep to normal in KDE
[05:40] <Jordan_U__> JackBandit: #kubuntu
[05:41] <JackBandit> #kubuntu
[05:41] <Lord_Drachenblut> can anyone help me out with a crontab entry
[05:41] <JackBandit> join #kubuntu
[05:41] <JackBandit> shoot
[05:42] <Pirate-king> tried to fix my graphics card nvidia now it only stays at one resolution
[05:42] <bwlang> Lord_Drachenblut: google probably can... if you're still having trouble you might consider a GUI crontab editor
[05:43] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: what's the question?
[05:43] <bobovski> !wireless
[05:43] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[05:44] <blanky> hehe
[05:44] <seravitae> hey guys i bought a USB to LPT cable, lpspci shows a device connected, but how can i check if the LPT port is there? should it map it in /dev/ or something?
[05:45] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: are you getting any mail or are you seeing errors in /var/log/messages?  probably you're getting an error
[05:45] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: oftentimes it's something stupid like something not in the path
[05:46] <seravitae> oh sweet it shows up with usblp0 in dev.
[05:46] <seravitae> sorted :)
[05:46] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: but it should send an email, maybe to root, and there will be an error logged.
[05:49] <brainly-green> how can I find out what wireless driver I'm using?  I believe it's ndiswrapper but it was automatically configured
[05:49] <Lord_Drachenblut> mister_roboto: in the /var/log/messages all i'm getting is -- MARK --
[05:49] <Avery> i killed my graphics stuff - blah - i hate linux
[05:50] <seravitae> how can i find out what devices are in my system are connected to /dev items?
[05:50] <seravitae> like if i plug a device in, and it shows up in /dev, how do i know which one's which.
[05:50] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: is there a cron.log?  you also have to look at the time you were trying to run the job (5:00pm)
[05:50] <triplah> seravitae: you mean usb devices?
[05:50] <triplah> seravitae: do you mean storage ones?
[05:50] <seravitae> no
[05:51] <seravitae>  i plugged in a usb paralell port adapter and it came up as usbp0
[05:51] <seravitae> i plugged in a usb serial port adapter and did ls /dev | grep usb again and nothing came up
[05:51] <chrae> where directory does apt-get download .debs to?
[05:51] <triplah> seravitae: what does dmesg tell you?
[05:52] <seravitae> it tells me where it is. :P thanks heh
[05:52] <triplah> :P
[05:52] <brainly-green> how do you view devices and drivers?
[05:52] <brainly-green> ideally from command line
[05:53] <seravitae> brainly-green: lspci, lsusb
[05:53] <triplah> brainly-green: in general there is not a simple answer to that. but there are ways of seeing some of them
[05:53] <triplah> seravitae: has just mentioned a couple
[05:53] <brainly-green> I am looking for the driver for my wireless card
[05:53] <triplah> you can look through /proc and /sys too, though i wouldnt reccomend that to the feint hearted
[05:54] <triplah> brainly-green: well if its usb, check lsusb, if its pci check lspci
[05:55] <brainly-green> it's pci but I don't see it
[05:55] <brainly-green> it wouldn't show up as "ethernet" would it?
[05:55] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: i just now put this in my crontab and it works: 54 * * * * ls -l /home/user >/tmp/user.log
[05:55] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: no user id in there
[05:55] <Avery> i don't have an /etc/inittab - is that bad?
[05:57] <FlipFlopnFly> Can anyone recommend a good video card for Ubuntu?
[05:57] <mister_roboto> Lord_Drachenblut: actually, the cron log is going to /var/log/syslog
[05:58] <psyoblade> hello
[05:58] <FlipFlopnFly> hi
[05:59] <psyoblade> I am having trouble installing
[05:59] <psyoblade> driving me nuts
[05:59] <FlipFlopnFly> Whats wrong?
[05:59] <psyoblade> well the install stalls
[06:00] <psyoblade> I checked the memory with MEMTEST and its ok
[06:00] <monzie> hi all
[06:00] <brainly-green> how do I change my key mappings?  I want my caps lock to be a ctrl key
[06:00] <mister_roboto> ls -lrt
[06:00] <mitrovarr> does anyone know a good guide to getting samba working?  one that actually works?
[06:00] <monzie> i am trying to install VMWare on ubuntu 6.10
[06:00] <psyoblade> It stalls at the 31%
[06:00] <monzie> it gives an error message saying Unable to find any instance of the super-server "inetd" or "xinetd".  It is
[06:00] <monzie> possible that you do not have one of these packages installed on this machine.
[06:00] <monzie> Please install "inetd" or "xinetd"
[06:00] <monzie> how do i install inetd?
[06:01] <Madpilot> psyoblade, on the very first menu the install CD shows, one of the options is "Test This CD" - did you run that?
[06:01] <psyoblade> yeah
[06:01] <psyoblade> no problem
[06:01] <psyoblade> burned the CD at 4x
[06:01] <psyoblade> and checked the Md5sum
[06:01] <psyoblade> it checks out
[06:01] <ForgeAus> um something messed up my ubuntu-minimal how do I fix it?
[06:01] <mister_roboto> psyoblade: how much ram to you have?
[06:02] <zooted_> What is the Debian command line foo to have apt-get tell one the package that provides a particular executable?
[06:02] <ForgeAus> I copied much back from the Live CD but doesn't quite boot
[06:02] <psyoblade> 512MB
[06:02] <rotero> Hello, everyone.
[06:02] <tamacracker> What's up guys.
[06:03] <ForgeAus> zooted not sure what you mean by that exactly
[06:03] <psyoblade> I am having the same problem as these guys but I dont have a solution http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-97834.html
[06:03] <digitalfox> this is problematic
[06:03] <ForgeAus> normally its apt-get install <packagename here>
[06:03] <rotero> Having some trouble installing 6.10 on a Celeron machine.
[06:03] <mister_roboto> psyoblade: you could always try the alternate installer if you can't get the graphical one to work
[06:03] <digitalfox> has anyone had any problems since the latest kernel update?
[06:04] <rotero> Xserver won't start, complains about no displays.  I've tried a few different boot options.
[06:04] <ForgeAus> kernel update? possibly
[06:04] <ForgeAus> ahh yes I got that problem
[06:04] <tamacracker> that is the damn problem
[06:04] <tamacracker> i updated
[06:04] <tamacracker> and i had to freakin reinstall ubuntu.
[06:04] <tamacracker> ><
[06:04] <psyoblade> I wanted to install server version
[06:04] <digitalfox> Well, now I'm getting complaints about not being able to access my root device
[06:04] <psyoblade> I need to setup a LAMP
[06:04] <ForgeAus> I can access my root device
[06:04] <digitalfox> I booted into a LiveCD and tried mounting the drive
[06:04] <digitalfox> works fine
[06:05] <zooted_> ForgeAus: for example I know ppracer is at /usr/games/ppracer.  How do I determine which package provides /usr/bin/ppracer?
[06:05] <ForgeAus> its my ubuntu-minimal thats a mess
[06:05] <digitalfox> at first I thought the Herd2 installer munched my harddrive
[06:05] <zooted_> oops
[06:05] <ForgeAus> zooted um websearch perhaps?
[06:05] <digitalfox> which honestly would've bothered me less than this :/
[06:05] <ForgeAus> try googling ppracer it might have some info on what package provides it?
[06:05] <digitalfox> assuming this problem is indeed what I think it is
[06:05] <zooted_> ForgeAus: for example I know ppracer is at /usr/games/ppracer.  How do I determine which package provides /usr/games/ppracer, rather? :)
[06:05] <rotero> Is it possible to run the alternate/no graphics installer from the standard disc?
[06:06] <digitalfox> rotero: no, unfortunately :/
[06:06] <ClintChance> Can some one help me out here, i want to do a Dj setup to stream to another server. but i need GUI apps
[06:06] <digitalfox> I believe the alternate installer is installs from deb packages, whereas the standard installer is image-based
[06:06] <digitalfox> (I may be wrong, haven't done a minimal install in a while)
[06:06] <ForgeAus> digifox I had it booting into a recovery console of some kind (busybox using ash shell - didn't know what to do in there)
[06:06] <zooted_> ForgeAus:  I will ask on #debian.
[06:06] <rotero> digitalfox:  Bummer.  Would be nice not to have to d/l and burn again.
[06:06] <chona_> help installing smarty
[06:06] <ForgeAus> so I booted of the live cd and copied some stuff over
[06:06] <chona_> help in installing smarty
[06:06] <ForgeAus> ok zooted
[06:06] <digitalfox> rotero: yeh, I hear that
[06:07] <ForgeAus> and I got it MOSTLY booting like 75%
[06:07] <rotero> digitalfox:  But makes sense, I guess.
[06:07] <ForgeAus> but it just doesn't quite get there
[06:07] <ForgeAus> doesnt start X
[06:07] <ForgeAus> (or KDM or whatever)
[06:07] <psyoblade> so i dont know what exactly is stalling the install for ubuntu server
[06:07] <ForgeAus> (note: its a kubuntu install)
[06:07] <digitalfox> rotero: well, Ideally they'd have an text frontend for the imagebased installer
[06:07] <digitalfox> (it couldn't be more than a few k)
[06:07] <chona_> help in installing smarty
[06:08] <ClintChance> Can some one help me out here, i want to do a Dj setup to stream to another server. but i need GUI apps
[06:09] <Pelo> does someone know of a way to identify and remove orphan dependencies and libraries ?
[06:09] <chona_> can someone help me how to install smarty...???
[06:09] <ForgeAus> sudo apt-get autoremove?
[06:10] <dbglt> are there any issueswith mysqld on feisty upgrade? Can't seem to get it running - starting it manually tells me it is already running/the port is bound (which is not the case). Any ideas?

[06:10] <ForgeAus> or is it sudo dpkg --autoremove... something like that
[06:10] <ForgeAus> just be Careful Pelo
[06:10] <Pelo> thanks forge
[06:10] <ForgeAus> I recently did t hat
[06:10] <brainly-green> hey I just did xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Control_L" to remap my caps lock key to another control key
[06:10] <ForgeAus> and it removed ubuntu-minimal!
[06:10] <ForgeAus> now my kubuntu doesn't boot!
[06:10] <brainly-green> do I have to restart to see that happening
[06:10] <ala> hi... there is a program that i would like to start everytime  i boot my edgy server as root... anyone know where i can put it?
[06:10] <tamacracker> How do I install Nicotine+ 1.2.6.tar.gz
[06:10] <brainly-green> because my caps lock is still working as an ordinary caps lock
[06:11] <Pelo> ForgeAus,  there isn't much to be carefull with , it'S just one line
[06:11] <ForgeAus> it was probably a dud package that I installed...
[06:11] <ForgeAus> lol no I meant the packages it finds to auto remove
[06:11] <ForgeAus> be careful about them
[06:11] <ForgeAus> DONT get rid of anything important
[06:11] <digitalfox> ala: /etc/init.d/rc.local
[06:12] <zooted_> ForgeAus:  For future reference apt-file if the package is not installed, or "dpkg -S" if it is.
[06:12] <digitalfox> ala: but the best thing is to write your own init script, or check if the program doesn't already have one
[06:12] <tamacracker> How do I install Nicotine+ 1.2.6.tar.gz   Someone please help me.
[06:12] <ala> digitalfox:  i put it in there... but it doesn't seem to start
[06:12] <ForgeAus> ahh to search the package for a binary it builds?
[06:12] <ForgeAus> (zooted)
[06:12] <SilentDis> hello :)
[06:12] <ForgeAus> hey Dis
[06:13] <SilentDis> I'm looking for a hardware recommendation... I'd like to purchase a TV Tuner card, and I'd like to be sure it'll work well with linux.  anyone have a suggestion? :)
[06:13] <ForgeAus> good question Dis, I have no idea
[06:13] <ForgeAus> but then I'm still pretty much a newbie when it comes to Linux
[06:14] <ForgeAus> (but I'm learning)
[06:14] <kelsin> SilentDis: my friend and I just built a mythtv box and used the PVR150 card from WinTV
[06:14] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, if i'm here, it's usually to either help others, or it's an off the wall problem/question hehe :)
[06:14] <ForgeAus> hehe
[06:14] <SilentDis> kelsin, works well I take it?
[06:14] <ForgeAus> maybe you can help me!
[06:14] <ForgeAus> my kubuntu doesn't boot
[06:14] <ForgeAus> (it almost boots
[06:14] <kelsin> SilentDis: uses the ivtv driver, and works fine in gentoo, I don't have experience with it in ubuntu
[06:14] <ForgeAus> just not quite fully)
[06:14] <ForgeAus> gets to about 75% complete
[06:15] <SilentDis> !enter | ForgeAus just a friendly reminder
[06:15] <ubotu> ForgeAus just a friendly reminder: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:15] <kelsin> SilentDis: but it seems to be a highly recomended card for mythtv boxes, therefore I would assume it's a good starting point to your search
[06:15] <ForgeAus> is there a way I can find out what of (I'm guessing ubuntu-minimal) is missing?
[06:15] <SilentDis> kelsin, hitting tEh interweb and clogging the tubes searching for it now :)
[06:16] <ForgeAus> I already copied bits from the LiveCD that I could find that were missing that helped
[06:16] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, what happens when you try to boot?  what version of Kubuntu?  do you get an error at all?
[06:17] <ForgeAus> edgy (ie 6.10?) ...
[06:17] <ForgeAus> no error, just freezes at 75% through the bar before the login screen
[06:17] <digitalfox> ala: what is the program in questino?
[06:17] <digitalfox> question*?
[06:17] <ForgeAus> unless theres a textmode behind that bar that gives an error I can't see
[06:17] <digitalfox> I'm kinda dealing with a minor crisis of my own :)
[06:17] <ala> digitalfox: ganglia
[06:17] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, Edgy is 6.10, yes.  ok, so this is a hd install, correct?  was it working before?  does the livecd boot?
[06:17] <ForgeAus> yes HDD install
[06:17] <ForgeAus> and yes it was working
[06:18] <digitalfox> hrm, not sure
[06:18] <ForgeAus> I'm running from a LiveCD now
[06:18] <SilentDis> !enter > ForgeAus
[06:18] <psyoblade> my ubuntu during install hangs at the 31% mark where the "Installing core packaging" everytime. I have used 6.06 and 6.10 server i386 version for the install. The CD checks out fine with the test and the md5sum. The CD was burned at 4x. 512 MB Memory is fine with the MEMTEST. How do I get around this? Iwant to setup a LAMP server
[06:18] <digitalfox> ala: you sure ganglia doesn't have it's own init script?
[06:18] <SilentDis> !who > ForgeAus
[06:18] <ForgeAus> hmmm...
[06:19] <ala> digitalfox:  actually it does have it....stupid me
[06:19] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, ok, what changes were made that made it stop working?  what have you done so far to try to fix it?  i'm trying to get more info on exactly what is going wrong :)
[06:19] <zero88> can someone help me with emerald themer.i have a theme selected vut dont know how to load it.anyone know how??
[06:20] <SilentDis> zero88, once selected, a theme in emerald will load right away, without any further button pushing, asuming beryl is running properly
[06:20] <ForgeAus> ok well what I *think* happened was I upgraded to a dud package that somehow decided ubuntu-minimal was obsolete (since I got a message that I could auto-remove stuff, and ubuntu-minimal was in that list)... so I think its erroneously deleted something from ubuntu-minimal
[06:20] <zero88> hmm, i hink there might be somethingwrong with beryl.how do i load that?
[06:20] <SilentDis> zero88, if it doesn't seem to be applied, click the beryl-manager icon, choose beryl as your windows manager, and then choose to restart beryl from the same menu
[06:20] <SilentDis> !info ubuntu-minimal
[06:20] <ubotu> ubuntu-minimal: Minimal core of Ubuntu. In component main, is important. Version 1.30 (edgy), package size 15 kB, installed size 44 kB
[06:21] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, can you get the box to boot to a recovery console?
[06:21] <zero88> silentdis would i have beryl if i had emerald?
[06:21] <ForgeAus> yes
[06:21] <SilentDis> zero88, they go hand in hand.  yes.
[06:21] <ForgeAus> but I odn' tknow what commands or how to use recovery console
[06:21] <zero88> silentdis i cant seem to find beryl under prefrences
[06:22] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, from the recovery console, as root, type this:  aptitude install ubuntu-minimal
[06:22] <ForgeAus> thankx
[06:22] <ForgeAus> I'll try it
[06:22] <ForgeAus> brb
[06:22] <ForgeAus> one way or another
[06:22] <SilentDis> zero88, do you see a beryl icon (the red gem) in your system bar?
[06:22] <zero88> silentdis no only the green
[06:23] <SilentDis> zero88, what version of k/x/ed/ubuntu are you running, and what packages did you install so far to get as far as you have?
[06:23] <zero88> silentdis XGL Absent, checking for NVIDIA
[06:23] <zero88> Nvidia Absent, checking for texture_from_pixmap
[06:23] <zero88> texture_from_pixmap Present
[06:23] <zero88> beryl: No composite extension
[06:23] <corevette> how do you make a shortcut to a folder?
[06:23] <SilentDis> zero88, ahhh, you started setting up beryl, but it found you didn't have your nvidia card setup right?
[06:24] <zero88> i beleive so,im not sure, i think i used apt-get to install it and it did it by itself
[06:24] <SilentDis> corevette, define what you mean by 'shortcut'.  a symbolic link, or just an icon somewhere you can click on
[06:24] <zero88> im not sure i have an nvidia card?
[06:24] <SilentDis> zero88, what version of ubuntu?
[06:24] <corevette> an icon slientdis
[06:24] <zero88> dapper
[06:24] <SilentDis> corevette, where would you like the icon?
[06:25] <corevette> desktop silentdis
[06:25] <SilentDis> corevette, Ubuntu 6.10?
[06:26] <zero88> silentdis , im using 6.06 dapper drake
[06:26] <danf_1979> Uhm, I'm updating from dapper to etch and the update just died....... :/
[06:26] <corevette> yes silentdis
[06:26] <danf_1979> upgrading I mean
[06:26] <SilentDis> zero88, there's LOTS of problems getting beryl working right under dapper.  it's possible, just not great.  I'd recommend checking out !envy first, and getting your vid card drivers squared away first though :)
[06:27] <SilentDis> corevette, right click your desktop, and choose "create launcher"
[06:27] <corevette> ok silentdis
[06:27] <zero88> silentdis,ok sound good, but i beleive my driver cards are installed, but how owuld i check to see if theey are generic or the ones i need.also what is anvy?
[06:27] <corevette> silentdis what next
[06:28] <SilentDis> corevette, Type:  Application.  Name:  whatever you want.  Command:  nautilus /path/to/folder.  Comment: whatever you want.
[06:28] <SirBob1701> were the nvidia drivers updated in the last 2 weeks?
[06:28] <SilentDis> !envy | zero88
[06:28] <ubotu> zero88: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[06:28] <corevette> thanks silentdis
[06:28] <SilentDis> corevette, nt :)
[06:29] <zero88> ubotu thanks
[06:29] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[06:29] <zero88> silentdis thanks
[06:29] <SilentDis> zero88, nt :)
[06:29] <corevette> what folder are all the icon graphics in?
[06:29] <SilentDis> SirBob1701, I don't know.  but I didn't see a notice from Alberto Milone yet :)

[06:30] <SirBob1701> thanks silent
[06:30] <SilentDis> corevette, /usr/share/pixmaps usually will show you a good selection for your icon needs :)
[06:30] <SirBob1701> Anyone know if your running 2 montiors and you launch a game how to disable one monitor?
[06:31] <SilentDis> SirBob1701, just curious here:  why would you want to disable one?  does a full-screen game split across both for you?
[06:31] <zero88> one more question.how owuld i know if its an nvidia or ati???
[06:31] <SirBob1701> ya it does
[06:31] <SirBob1701> in particularly savage right now
[06:31] <SilentDis> zero88, the envy script will take care of all that for you.  alternately, you can run lspci from the prompt and get a listing :)
[06:32] <SirBob1701> haven't had a chance to install any other "full screen" games lol
[06:32] <SilentDis> SirBob1701, I have yet to muck with multiple monitors under X, so I am sorry to report I'm not sure how to help on that one.  I tend to run my games in windows though personally.  *shrug*
[06:32] <chona_> how can i install smarty - a template engine...
[06:32] <SilentDis> !smarty
[06:32] <ubotu> smarty: Template engine for PHP. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.14-1 (edgy), package size 178 kB, installed size 792 kB
[06:33] <SirBob1701> ya its what i'm keeping xp around for that and Visual Studio 2005 lol
[06:33] <brainly-green> what's the best way to find a file containing a given string?
[06:33] <SilentDis> chona_, type sudo aptitude install smarty
[06:33] <brainly-green> or how do I find the driver, given that I know the interface is ath0?
[06:34] <zero88> silentdis, how would i know what kind of driver i should install?
[06:34] <SilentDis> SirBob1701, sorry, not "windows" the operating system, a "window", on the desktop, not full screen lol.  I haven't booted Microsoft Windows in nearly 8 months now lol
[06:34] <SirBob1701> haha
[06:34] <SilentDis> zero88, do you see your vid card listed in lspci?
[06:34] <theflyingfool> does anyone know a good gui backup tool
[06:34] <MrWamu> Hey does anyone know where I can find a nice long list of detailed Ubuntu tags
[06:34] <MrWamu> ?
[06:34] <SirBob1701> I've moved my java programming and php over
[06:34] <SirBob1701> just gotta get apache to actually pick up on the php module now
[06:34] <unkmar> This is so annoying,  I can b slap any windows based system to do anything that it is capable of.
[06:34] <SilentDis> !backup | theflyingfool
[06:34] <ubotu> theflyingfool: There are many ways to back your system up.

[06:35] <unkmar> I had this ubuntu server running.
[06:35] <SirBob1701> got a long list of stuff i gotta do growing lol
[06:35] <unkmar> Now, I just need to patch it back into shape.
[06:35] <theflyingfool> ok this is a stupid question but when people do the !random thing| what is that suppose to mean to me
[06:35] <glyn> !webcam
[06:35] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[06:35] <SirBob1701> apache and php5 modules add, gtk and GCC/G++ don't link right
[06:35] <SilentDis> unkmar, linux is different from windows.  to quote a famous green muppet:  You must unlearn what you have learned. :)
[06:35] <zero88> silentdis Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller
[06:36] <SirBob1701> apache and ruby
[06:36] <SirBob1701> don't work right
[06:36] <unkmar> I've had a switch of hardware. I need the HDD is all that is the same.
[06:36] <SilentDis> zero88, ahh, you have neither then :)  you'll be looking for info on the intel family of gpus... I think they've open sourced everything in that regard, so it should be in the mains or at most in the backports.
[06:36] <unkmar> The nic is what I need to be recongnized.
[06:37] <corevette> how come i can't open up a PNG with gimp?
[06:37] <MrWamu> Anybody read 2600?
[06:37] <unkmar> I know that the file I need to edit is likely to be /etc/network/interfaces.
[06:37] <unkmar> I'm not afraid of the system, I'm simply ignorant.
[06:37] <zero88> silentdis, oh ok.so i have no drivers installed huh?
[06:37] <SilentDis> MrWamu, officially, no.  unofficially is another story ;)  what's up?
[06:38] <SilentDis> zero88, it sounds like beryl is set to look for an nvidia driver for some reason.  does the graphics chipset you have do 3d stuff?  IE, play fancy 3d games in windows?
[06:38] <ForgeAus> Dis you there?
[06:39] <tamacracker> Hey can someone help me mount my Primary Slave Drive?
[06:39] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, nope, i left, was killed, and replaced by an evil alien clone O.o
[06:39] <ForgeAus> rofl
[06:39] <atarinox> hi, does anyone know how to play embedded windows media video in the Epiphany browser
[06:39] <zero88> silentdis, um im pretty sure not ones like war of worldcraft, i have a laptop.but is a duo core, i g ram
[06:39] <ForgeAus> 2 problems, when I rebooted into recovery console that bit worked.. aptitude didn't (no network?) when I tried an apt-get from the command line after that complained something about readonly filesystem
[06:39] <SilentDis> tamacracker, does it have a partition on it?  what kind of partition?
[06:40] <tamacracker> it used to be my linux ext3 drive
[06:40] <SilentDis> zero88, business class or consumer class?
[06:40] <chona_> im using Vmware server for windows..and installed ubuntu in it.. can i get files from my windows OS and transfer it in ubuntu?
[06:40] <brainly-green> what's the key in XDM to copy text
[06:40] <ForgeAus> tama also what kind of drive is it, ide, sata, scsi?
[06:40] <tamacracker> actually i could get gparted right?
[06:40] <brainly-green> it's not ctrl-c
[06:40] <tamacracker> ide
[06:40] <ForgeAus> yeah gparted might help
[06:40] <zero88> consumer
[06:41] <tamacracker> alright let me download that first, and ill be back
[06:41] <ForgeAus> gives you what partitions you got but I don't know if it does mounting or not
[06:41] <three> has anyone installed jokosher with the 0.2 script
[06:41] <ForgeAus> chona, depends what filesystem
[06:41] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, it sounds like something really hosed you.  My PERSONAL feeling would be to reinstall, but I'd not do that if I were you, and instead wait for another guru to happen by.  really depends on how much data you've got that you need to save on the install, and how much time you've put into it.
[06:41] <SirBob1701> anyone know how to manually add modules to apache (particularly php5 and ruby) the a2enmod doesn't work for some odd reason
[06:41] <zero88> silentdis would i need to know my chipset to install the drivers?
[06:41] <ForgeAus> windows XP/2000 can read ext3 from ubuntu with ext2ifs driver from fs-driver.org
[06:42] <ForgeAus> and vice versa you can READONLY mount NTFS in linux
[06:42] <SilentDis> zero88, it would help.  what kind of laptop is it?  make/model
[06:42] <ForgeAus> lol Dis, thanx
[06:42] <zero88> silentdis one sec
[06:42] <ForgeAus> I'd rather not reinstall... so another guru sounds good
[06:42] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, you can only SAFELY read NTFS partitions from linux, true.  Windows has an EXT2 filesystem driver available, and there are some inroads to making NTFS read/write from linux.  see !fuse
[06:42] <ForgeAus> for now I can use the LiveCD and I can access my drives, etc...
[06:43] <zero88> silentdis its a gateway mx6956 notebook
[06:43] <ForgeAus> ahh fuse... yes I had that when my kubuntu worked
[06:43] <SilentDis> zero88, checking specs, one moment.
[06:43] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:43] <zero88> silentdis ok thanks
[06:43] <mikejanssen> i dl'd ubuntu-ultimate1.1.iso the other day
[06:43] <mikejanssen> i rox0r!
[06:43] <brainly-green> how do I copy paste text using the keyboard?  what's the shorcut?
[06:43] <SirBob1701> lol
[06:44] <SirBob1701> ctrl+c and ctrl+v
[06:44] <ForgeAus> slackware has a network config command... forgot the name of it
[06:44] <ForgeAus> hmmm
[06:44] <ForgeAus> brb
[06:44] <zero88> silentdis on the box under video/audio it says intel graphics media accelerator 950
[06:44] <SirBob1701> any other programmers here?
[06:44] <atrus> ForgeAus: a regular net connection should work under single-user mode, maybe not wireless. if you got "read only filesystem" errors (which, btw, it would be really nice to see the actual error message you got), you should boot your livecd and see what fsck has to say about the partition. oh, and back-up any important files off of it now, just to be on the safe side.
[06:45] <glyn> hey how do I remove a module if it's in use?
[06:45] <|PiP|> how can i install mysql support for php5-cli ?
[06:45] <glyn> sudo modprobe -r gspca FATAL: Module gspca is in use.
[06:45] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:45] <mikejanssen> mx...retail gateway
[06:45] <mikejanssen> H8!!
[06:45] <SilentDis> zero88, that's a nice little laptop i must admit... still searching hehe
[06:45] <tamacracker> ForgeAus... my gparted recognizes my Primary Slave drive.. but I cannot mount it.
[06:45] <brainly-green> no SirBob1701 it is not ctrl-c and ctrl-v
[06:45] <SirBob1701> PiP you check synaptic?
[06:46] <brainly-green> it just beeps at me when I try that
[06:46] <SirBob1701> brainly works for me
[06:46] <ForgeAus> slave DRIVE yes but what about partitions on the drive?
[06:46] <mikejanssen> brainly
[06:46] <tamacracker>  /dev/hdb1
[06:46] <mikejanssen> you cant ctrl+v in terminal
[06:46] <tamacracker> ext3
[06:46] <mikejanssen> gotta right click then paste
[06:46] <SirBob1701> standard ubuntu brainly?
[06:46] <glyn> anyone know how to remove a module that's in use?
[06:46] <atrus> or shift-ctrl-v
[06:46] <brainly-green> but how to copy in terminal then
[06:46] <zero88> silentdis :) thanks, im pretty satisfied with it, especially with ubuntu :) had t get rid of the windows sence ive had ubuntu
[06:46] <ForgeAus> ok then the mount command should be sudo mount /dev/hdb1 <directory here>
[06:46] <SirBob1701> rightclick paste lol
[06:46] <atrus> glyn: generally, you have to figure out how to kill the things using it, if possible.
[06:46] <SirBob1701> ;)
[06:46] <brainly-green> I don't want to right click, stupid to right click
[06:46] <ForgeAus> (normally I do a sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 first to mount it to)
[06:47] <psyoblade> is it possible to setup a LAMP with the alternative install?
[06:47] <SirBob1701> i wanna know how to copy from one vi to the next with out mosue lol
[06:47] <atrus> brainly-green: look at the edit menu, and read the keyboard shortcuts next to the actions you want to perform.
[06:47] <SilentDis> zero88, i have winxp still on this machine.  a waste of 20gb of perfectly good HD space at this point lol
[06:47] <tamacracker> sudo mount /dev/hdb1 Storage  <- like that?
[06:47] <ForgeAus> so it becomes sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 then sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1
[06:48] <tamacracker> ok so do that instead?
[06:48] <glyn> atrus:  is there any way I could tell what's using it?
[06:48] <ForgeAus> try that
[06:48] <tamacracker> ok
[06:48] <glyn> atrus:  Right now I have no programs open and it's still giving me that message
[06:48] <brainly-green> ahh shift ctrl c
[06:48] <brainly-green> friggin menus
[06:48] <mikejanssen> i have run out of things to do in ubuntu i think...in 2 weeks
[06:48] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:48] <mikejanssen> i cant think of anything else to install
[06:48] <mikejanssen> or change...
[06:48] <ForgeAus> technically I think your meant to give it a type flag but it autodetects if your lucky :)
[06:48] <mikejanssen> i could try WINE
[06:48] <mikejanssen> i guess
[06:48] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, as an aside, to chain commands from a prompt, you can put && between them.  so, sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 && sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 -o user
[06:48] <atrus> glyn: lsof may tell you, but it's not exactly easy to read.
[06:48] <brainly-green> I'm still no closer to finding out what my wireless driver is, I can't find it in devide manager and lspci says nothing about it
[06:49] <ForgeAus> whats the -o user bit?
[06:49] <mikejanssen> !wine
[06:49] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:49] <brainly-green> interface ath0, and it's not ethernet
[06:49] <zero88> silentdis really it is, i accidentally erased mine when installing ubuntu, but when i tried to dual boot, and had to load windows agian then all teh drivers and everything, i said heck with it, just the same as linux.so i got rid of it
[06:49] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, allows user level access to the partition, so you don't have to use root to get to it (assuming it's a file system such as ntfs/ext3/etc)
[06:49] <SirBob1701> good to know bout the shift + ctrl + c
[06:49] <zero88> silentdis, plus almost everything is free here :)
[06:50] <tamacracker> ForgeAus that didn't work bro
[06:50] <tamacracker> still unmounted.
[06:50] <ForgeAus> tama what error did it say
[06:50] <tamacracker> nothing
[06:50] <tamacracker> it went back to root.
[06:50] <glyn> hmm the lsof doesn't really help it shows a big page and I can't even scroll up
[06:50] <SilentDis> zero88, welcome to the biggest and best benefit of FOSS :)
[06:50] <ForgeAus> uh?
[06:50] <tamacracker> lol yeah
[06:50] <glyn> is there any way to delete modules without using modprobe -r?
[06:50] <ForgeAus> when you did cd /media/hdb1 you went back to root?
[06:50] <tamacracker> i closed "My Coputer" window
[06:50] <tamacracker> then reopened it
[06:50] <ForgeAus> wait
[06:50] <ForgeAus> it should look like root
[06:50] <tamacracker> i didn't do cd
[06:50] <ForgeAus> because it is a root
[06:51] <brainly-green> in my /proc/sys/net/wlan/ath0 directory I have something called associated_sta
[06:51] <zero88> silentdis oh ya
[06:51] <brainly-green> but I can't cat it
[06:51] <ForgeAus> wait... so your browsing in nautilus or konqueror?
[06:51] <tamacracker> who?
[06:51] <tamacracker> me?
[06:51] <ForgeAus> yes
[06:51] <SilentDis> !who
[06:51] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[06:51] <tamacracker> im browsing with gnome's uh... not konquorer (assuming that's only for kde)
[06:52] <ForgeAus> nautilus is what gnome uses (I think) mostly
[06:52] <zero88> silentdis i used DSL for a whyle..but once i read of ubuntu in a mag, i tried it out.and was surprised that it worked perfectly.with DSL i couldnt do much at all
[06:52] <tamacracker> yes
[06:52] <ForgeAus> anyway... thats not a problem
[06:52] <tamacracker> im on gnome
[06:52] <tamacracker> ok
[06:52] <ForgeAus> see the thing up the top has some buttons with the path your in?
[06:52] <tamacracker> yeah
[06:52] <ForgeAus> should show home (and/or user) when your on home...
[06:53] <SilentDis> zero88, I've actually got a crappy little laptop to my right with DSL installed on it lol.  I use X over SSH and just run apps on my main 'puter :)
[06:53] <ForgeAus> then theres a white square icon at the start?
[06:53] <ForgeAus> looks like a toolbar kinda
[06:53] <ForgeAus> press on the white square one, should be the filesystem's root
[06:53] <Jimb00b> i use torrent alot on my pc so if i switch to ubuntu will i still be about to use torrents?
[06:53] <Jimb00b> able*
[06:53] <zero88> silentdsl you using dsl off livecd or install?
[06:54] <tamacracker> wait
[06:54] <tamacracker> yeah
[06:54] <SilentDis> zero88, ok, I just confirmed that the gfx drivers should be loaded with the default edgy install for your vid card.  it sounds like, for whatever reason, you've got a different set selected though.
[06:54] <tamacracker> im in my Computer
[06:54] <tamacracker> meaning i should see all my drives.
[06:54] <SilentDis> zero88, from a prompt, type this:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:54] <ForgeAus> ok so your back to the directory it shows stuff like bin, root, var, etc?
[06:54] <ForgeAus> in the big window with the icons
[06:54] <SilentDis> zero88, step through it slowly, and make sure you pick the intel chipset driver
[06:55] <tamacracker> no
[06:55] <tamacracker> z.,
[06:55] <tamacracker> that's home
[06:55] <ForgeAus> your in windows?
[06:55] <zero88> silentdis ok thanks will do, but im not using edgy
[06:55] <tamacracker> computer:///
[06:55] <ForgeAus> no home should be the one where you store your datafiles
[06:55] <tamacracker> ^ that folder
[06:55] <glyn> anyone know why the module for my cam was working perfectly, and then all of a sudden stops working?
[06:55] <ForgeAus> the / directory is the one we want with bin var local sys root and all those directories
[06:56] <Jimb00b> i use torrent alot on my pc so if i switch to ubuntu will i still be able to use torrents?
[06:56] <ForgeAus> under there one of them should be media
[06:56] <tamacracker> Force in this window, I can only see my CD drives and my primary hard drive
[06:56] <SilentDis> zero88, doh, yeah, you said that :p sorry.  aargh, let me check synaptic real quick, see if I can give you a quick install line.  hold please, your call is important to us *queue muzak version of Stairway to Heaven*
[06:56] <Trainwreck> Jimb00b yes
[06:56] <tamacracker> Forge*
[06:56] <Trainwreck> Jimb00b, torrents work in linux perfectly
[06:56] <ForgeAus> hmm.... what distro is this ubunutu?
[06:56] <Jimb00b> what do i use?
[06:56] <tamacracker> edgy
[06:56] <Trainwreck> you can use azureus
[06:56] <Trainwreck> or bittornado
[06:56] <ForgeAus> ok... tamacracker can you browse to the directory /
[06:57] <ForgeAus> ?
[06:57] <tamacracker> /home/tamacracker
[06:57] <zero88> silentdis haha will do, also should i upgrade? and if i should how do i?
[06:57] <tamacracker> yes
[06:57] <tamacracker> im in there now
[06:57] <ForgeAus> no /home no /user no /anything just /
[06:57] <tamacracker> im in /
[06:57] <ForgeAus> ok from / then find media
[06:57] <ForgeAus> should show up as an icon somehwere
[06:57] <brainly-green> how the hell do I find my Wireless Driver~! I'm looking through all directories with "ath0" in their names and I can't find it
[06:57] <SilentDis> !upgrade | zero88
[06:57] <ubotu> zero88: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:57] <tamacracker> whoa
[06:57] <brainly-green> and it's not in device manager
[06:57] <ForgeAus> what?
[06:58] <tamacracker> ForgeAUS so... basically my linux thinks that my hard drive is just a folder, not a hard drive, yes?
[06:58] <ForgeAus> yes basically
[06:58] <ForgeAus> in a sense yes
[06:58] <zero88> thnk you  yall :)
[06:58] <tamacracker>  /media/hdb1
[06:58] <ForgeAus> theres no C: just /
[06:58] <ForgeAus> yes
[06:58] <ForgeAus> go to media then hdb1
[06:58] <tamacracker> ha i just gotta make a shortcut to this folder.
[06:58] <ForgeAus> and voila you should be looking at your partition you mounted
[06:58] <tamacracker> ok cool
[06:59] <ForgeAus> you can do that
[06:59] <Flannel> tamacracker: correct, everything on linux is just a file (well, and directories)
[06:59] <ForgeAus> just make a desktop item
[06:59] <SilentDis> zero88, your driver is in the xserver-xorg-video-i810 package.  so, sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-i810
[06:59] <PWill> So is everyone buying Vista?
[06:59] <ForgeAus> Flannel even printers :)
[06:59] <PWill> :-P
[06:59] <tamacracker> That's another question I have... Can I make a docking panel?
[06:59] <brainly-green> it shows up in Network Tools as an Unknown Interface
[06:59] <ForgeAus> Flannel can you assist me? my kubuntu is damaged again
[06:59] <tamacracker> so I can put all my icons onto it like Kubuntu?
[06:59] <minerale> hello, I accidentally deleted myself from all groups, I added myself to audio and myowngroup , can someone give me the other default gruops ( paste me the contens of id)
[06:59] <SilentDis> PWill, here's your flame retardant suit, I do wish you luck though.  *snicker*
[06:59] <zero88> silentdis ok kool thanks ima do that now
[06:59] <ForgeAus> tama I don't see why not
[06:59] <Jimb00b> so i just use what ever i want for torrents? i thought i couldnt run exe files without wine?
[06:59] <brainly-green> uh oh
[06:59] <glyn> is there a way I can list what programs are running?
[06:59] <brainly-green> maybe it stopped working?  it used to be working though
[07:00] <tamacracker> ok let me go ahead and start messing with all my stuff now :P
[07:00] <tamacracker> thanks ForgeAus
[07:00] <ForgeAus> lol tama, hav fun
[07:00] <SilentDis> zero88, after you install that, do the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  choose the i810 option :)
[07:00] <PWill> SilentDis: Thanks, I'll need it.
[07:00] <ForgeAus> no problem
[07:00] <tamacracker> :)
[07:00] <tamacracker> im sure ill be back
[07:00] <zero88> silentdis,ok then go from theere?
[07:00] <ForgeAus> thats ok I probably won't be here
[07:00] <ForgeAus> rofl
[07:00] <Flannel> ForgeAus: you're welcome to describe your problem.  I haven't used a GUI in years, let alone KDE. ;)
[07:00] <tamacracker> lol
[07:00] <SilentDis> PWill, I did just order 20 CDs from shipit myself.  gonna drop 'em next to the display of vista at wal-mart and best buy :D
[07:01] <Flannel> minerale: flannel adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[07:01] <Flannel> minerale: obviously, you shouldn't be a member of flannel ;)
[07:01] <PWill> SilentDis: Brilliant!
[07:01] <zero88> silentdis was that comman supposed to remove files?
[07:01] <ForgeAus> Flannel hmmm.. my ubuntu-mininal broke, I copied some stuff from the kubuntu liveCD to try and fix it and the bar gets like 75% complete when rebooting before the login screen and then freezes
[07:01] <SilentDis> zero88, yep.  once you have the right vid driver installed and running, try going back over the instructions for setting up beryl off of http://wiki.beryl-project.org/
[07:02] <ForgeAus> I can get into the recovery console but what to do in there?... I tried using aptitude to reinstall ubuntu-minimal but no internet...
[07:02] <zero88> silentdis ok kool thanks
[07:02] <SilentDis> zero88, the install line should remove, then reinstall the files necessary.
[07:02] <Flannel> ForgeAus: you have an alternate CD?
[07:02] <zero88> silentdis what do u mean, id jsut removed, no install
[07:02] <ForgeAus> an alternate CD?... you mean the LiveCD I'm running from now?
[07:02] <arnnn> how do I know how many giga is my /home folder ?
[07:03] <zero88> silentdis am i installing it now with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <IcemanIncarnate> would there happen to be an ubuntu expert with laptops on here? specifically with nvidia graphics cards?
[07:03] <IcemanIncarnate> I'm having major issues getting ubuntu installed
[07:03] <SilentDis> zero88, run this command:  sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-i810 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:03] <PWill> IcemanIncarnate: what's the problem
[07:04] <Flannel> ForgeAus: no, the alternate CD, not DEsktop CD.  Um, I guess you should... get a list of debs that you need, and then with the liveCD, mount your home folder, download the debs to your home folder, then install them manually with dpkg, that should get you a usable system.
[07:04] <zero88> silentdis ok
[07:04] <ForgeAus> I don't have an Alternate CD
[07:04] <SilentDis> zero88, that whole line as one.  that'll install (or, reinstall) the vid driver, and get you configuring xserver.  in the config of the xserver, choose the i810 driver.  once that's all done, restart x (ctrl-alt-backspace).  remember, that'll log you out of your chat app, most likely ;)
[07:04] <ForgeAus> ahh the .debs from ubuntu-minimal that I'm missing?
[07:05] <ForgeAus> I can copy them to var/apt/cache right?
[07:05] <ForgeAus> (in the mounted dir
[07:05] <IcemanIncarnate> Pwill, after i load ubuntu, and try to boot into it, aall i get is a black screen that fades to black, or vice versa
[07:05] <Flannel> ForgeAus: Nah, just copy them to your homedir
[07:05] <SilentDis> ForgeAus, for edgy, the location of the 'local repository' is /var/cache/apt/archives :)
[07:05] <IcemanIncarnate> it does the same thing with several different versions of linux
[07:05] <Jimb00b> so i just use what ever i want for torrents? i thought i couldnt run exe files without using wine?
[07:06] <Flannel> Jimb00b: what gave you that idea?
[07:06] <PWill> IcemanIncarnate: try pressing F6 for special options, and type in vga=771
[07:06] <Jimb00b> thats what i thought
[07:06] <Jimb00b> i dunno
[07:06] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, there are torrent handlers native to linux.  were you continuing a conversation with someone else, or looking for help with something?
[07:06] <IcemanIncarnate> when its at that solid black screen?
[07:07] <Flannel> Jimb00b: oh, wait.  didnt see the nt.  Yeah, that's correct.  exes probably need wine (although,technically not all of them)
[07:07] <Jimb00b> just was wondering if i could do torrents in linux and how
[07:07] <Flannel> Jimb00b: you, having ubuntu desktop, already have a torrent client, albeit a pretty basic one
[07:07] <SilentDis> !bittorrent | Jimb00b
[07:07] <ubotu> bittorrent: Scatter-gather network file transfer. In component main, is optional. Version 3.4.2-6ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 90 kB, installed size 556 kB
[07:08] <Jimb00b> !bittorrent
[07:08] <glyn> !webcam
[07:08] <SilentDis> that didn't help :P  gonna write one for that me thinks heh
[07:08] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[07:08] <detectivebob> How can you make a folder that is writable but not deletable?
[07:08] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, are you running dapper or edgy?
[07:08] <Flannel> !torrent
[07:08] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt)  -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[07:08] <Jimb00b> none yet
[07:08] <SilentDis> Flannel, thank you :)
[07:09] <zero88> silentdis ya, under lspci it still says the same
[07:09] <Jimb00b> so i guess i do need wine?
[07:09] <Flannel> detectivebob: by it's owner? or what?
[07:09] <SilentDis> zero88, that's fine.  lspci just scans your PCI bus and reports what it finds.  running a few commands won't change your hardware ;)
[07:10] <zero88> silentdis ah
[07:10] <glyn> could anyone please tell me how to get rid of a module that's in use?
[07:10] <zero88> silentdis so how do i know if what we did worked
[07:10] <SilentDis> zero88, you are not sure that you have the right vid drivers installed and functioning properly.
[07:10] <zero88> silentdis ya
[07:11] <zero88> silentdis should i upgrade?
[07:11] <SilentDis> zero88, type this command in a prompt:  glxinfo | grep direct
[07:11] <Jimb00b> do i for sure need wine in order to use bittorrent?
[07:11] <verve> if i'm running beryl/emerald, should i be running the nvidia-glx server, or the xgl-server?
[07:11] <zero88> silentdis it says yes
[07:11] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, nope.  there are native bittorrent handlers in linux.  no wine needed :)
[07:11] <verve> and also, can it be run without kde/gnome, and like with fluxbox or something?
[07:12] <verve> beryl, that is
[07:12] <Jimb00b> so how do i? im so lost :(
[07:12] <glyn> could anyone please tell me how to get rid of a module that's in use?  rmmod -w doesn't work
[07:12] <glyn> it just sits there and does nothing
[07:12] <SilentDis> zero88, woot!  you have direct rendering enabled and functioning properly.  you are set to get beryl working.  again, I would recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 6.10 for this... but let me poke around beryl's website if you don't wanna do that :)
[07:12] <glyn> is there any way to delete the module off your computer?
[07:12] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:12] <SilentDis> !who | Jimb00b
[07:12] <ubotu> Jimb00b: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[07:13] <zero88> silentdis,ok
[07:13] <Jimb00b> none yet
[07:13] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, kinda hard to guide you through stuff if you're not in the OS ;)
[07:13] <zero88> silentdis im going to have to change the config file huh?becuase its looking for nvidia cards?
[07:14] <Jimb00b> im just trying to cover the basics before switching so that im able to do everything i do now
[07:14] <tamacracker> Ok, I backed up the files I had on my Primary Slave drive, deleted the partition, formatted and remade it into ext3 partition again... how do I mount it so that it shows as a hard drive?
[07:14] <SilentDis> zero88, If you're really interested in playing with beryl, it is my personal recommendation to upgrade to Edgy Eft.
[07:14] <zero88> silentdis,ok how do i do that
[07:14] <zero88> upgrade | zero88
[07:14] <Iceman> could someone possibly walk me through a troublesome installation of ubuntu?
[07:15] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, ok.  then you can check BitTorrent off the list, it works, and works perfectly, with a multitude of different tools at your disposal :)
[07:15] <SilentDis> !upgrade | zero88
[07:15] <ubotu> zero88: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:15] <Jimb00b> so i do need other tools to use it?
[07:16] <tamacracker> Ok, I backed up the files I had on my Primary Slave drive, deleted the partition, formatted and remade it into ext3 partition again... how do I mount it so that it shows as a hard drive?   Can anyone help me?
[07:16] <detectivebob> by anyone other than root
[07:16] <lavi> hi all
[07:16] <SilentDis> zero88, dapper > edgy is fairly painless, so long as you follow the first set of instructions at that site.  there's a section labeled "not recommended"... obviously don't follow those directions ;)
[07:16] <lavi> I edited /etc/bash.bashrc for adding a new system-wide env var, do I need to restart ubuntu?
[07:17] <lavi> orion2012, just logout gnome ?
[07:17] <lavi> orion2012, sorry
[07:17] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, nope.  upon installing Ubuntu 6.10, you will have 1 bittorrent client already installed.  you can download as many more as you want, each customized for a different 'way' of thinking and doing things.  it's really up to you.  the built-in handler is enough for most people, though :)
[07:17] <lavi> or just logout then login gnome?
[07:18] <zero88> silentdis haha ya i know,i did the first one
[07:18] <Jimb00b> silentdis: so if i do decide to use say bittornado do i need to do anything?
[07:18] <SilentDis> !info bittornado
[07:18] <ubotu> bittornado: bittorrent client with enhanced curses interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.15-2ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 147 kB, installed size 864 kB
[07:18] <zero88> silentdis how much mb is the upgrade?
[07:18] <zero88> silentdis and what changes
[07:19] <SilentDis> zero88, can't remember exactly... ~200-300mb or so?
[07:19] <raj> hi all
[07:19] <zero88> silentdis oh
[07:19] <zero88> raj hi
[07:19] <Jimb00b> whats that mean?
[07:19] <SilentDis> zero88, new gnome version, new kernel, lotsa new tools, unified kernel driver...
[07:19] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, if you wish to use the 'bittornado' client, you can sudo aptitude install bittornado
[07:20] <raj> is it possible to recover the data from formatted linux partition
[07:20] <zero88> silentdis kool,hmm seems liek it froze fetching thepreparing the upgrade part
[07:20] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, basically, none of this will make one lick of sense till you're in linux.  trust me.  :)
[07:20] <ForgeAus> hmmm this isn't helping
[07:20] <ForgeAus> I don't know which dependancy packages are missing
[07:20] <Jimb00b> oh dont worry i understand i've used it before just not for bitborrent
[07:20] <zero88> silentdis nm
[07:20] <zero88> silentdis its working now
[07:21] <SilentDis> zero88, it will seem to 'freeze' at times, yes.  :P
[07:21] <zero88> silentdis anyway time for bed :) gota get up at 5 menyana
[07:21] <SilentDis> zero88, I ended up just doing a clean install from DVD myself.  I'm stuck on dialup :P
[07:21] <SilentDis> zero88, g'night, and good luck!
[07:21] <zero88> silentdis ouch, im sorry :)
[07:21] <Jimb00b> silentdis: i know i can install it but can i run it without haveing to use wine?
[07:21] <zero88> silentdis thanks for all the help, hopefully ill see ya around :)
[07:22] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, it is a native linux app.  no need for wine :)
[07:22] <SilentDis> zero88, nt :)
[07:22] <chona> my smarty still doesnt work,, i have already run sudo aptitude install smarty..but i still dont have this /usr/share/php/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php
[07:22] <Jimb00b> ok well thanks
[07:22] <chona> i don't have a smarty folder on /usr/share/php/
[07:23] <|PiP|> anyone know how to install php-cli with mysql support?
[07:23] <chona> how can i install smarty properly?please help
[07:24] <SilentDis> chona, i've not used that package before.  I'm searching the ubuntu wiki now...
[07:24] <Jimb00b> can i pm u for one second silentdis?
[07:24] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, if you wish
[07:24] <Jimb00b> thanks
[07:25] <chona> says its a template enginge for php
[07:25] <SirBob1701> there any way to montior graphics card stats on ubuntu
[07:25] <SilentDis> chona, does this info help you at all? http://smarty.php.net/crashcourse.php
[07:25] <SirBob1701> ?
[07:26] <SilentDis> SirBob1701, what graphics card, what are you looking to monitor?
[07:26] <SirBob1701> 7800GT from nvidia
[07:26] <Jimb00b> silentdis: i was told that to run any windows based programs i needed to run them in wine was this incorrect info?
[07:27] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, wine provides a translation layer to run a windows application under linux.  if a program doesn't have a native linux port, you will need wine to run it, correct.
[07:27] <Jimb00b> ohhhhhhhhh now i see
[07:27] <Jimb00b> :)
[07:28] <Jimb00b> thanks silentdis :)
[07:28] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, for example, I run World Of Warcraft under linux.  to do so, I use wine, and an additional tool called Cedega to make it all 'easy' to do :)
[07:29] <chona> SilenDis: i still dont have the folder here that class file is suppsed to be in...i think i still dont have smarty even if i already installed it thru sudo aptitude install smarty
[07:29] <Jimb00b> cause the port is different?
[07:29] <chona> i still dont have the folder here that class file is suppsed to be in...i think i still dont have smarty even if i already installed it thru sudo aptitude install smarty
[07:29] <catalytic> hi, i need to play around with CGI scripts, would installing a webserver and writing scripts on it, then using a browser to access them locally good be a good way to learn?
[07:29] <catalytic> if so whats a good webserver to run on ubuntu?
[07:29] <chona> my smarty still doesnt work,, i have already run sudo aptitude install smarty..but i still dont have this /usr/share/php/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php
[07:29] <SirBob1701> catalytic
[07:29] <preaction> catalytic: that would work fine, use Apache 2, everyone else does
[07:29] <SirBob1701> thats a fine way to learn
[07:29] <chona> help with smarty please
[07:29] <SirBob1701> i'd check out apache or apache2
[07:30] <catalytic> ok
[07:30] <catalytic> thanks guys
[07:30] <preaction> chona: find it by doing: sudo find / -name Smarty.class.php
[07:30] <TraliVali> Hello, I'd like to report a bug, may I?
[07:30] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, there is no native linux client for WoW... yet.  I could run it directly under Wine, but I prefer cedega, it provides some easier-to-set options as well as some nice extensions to the Wine library (such as pretty much complete DirectX9 wrapping)
[07:30] <catalytic> er, how big is apache2?
[07:30] <ilnux> where's ubuntu chat?
[07:30] <preaction> TraliVali: launchpad.com <- there
[07:31] <catalytic> 6697 kB? is that kilobits or kilobytes?
[07:31] <SilentDis> !bug | TraliVali
[07:31] <ubotu> TraliVali: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[07:31] <Avery> cedega costs money!
[07:31] <preaction> catalytic: big B means Bytes
[07:31] <SilentDis> Avery, yep, all of $5/month :)
[07:31] <preaction> Avery: yes, yes it does
[07:31] <TraliVali> Thank you all very much
[07:31] <ilnux> where's ubuntu chat?
[07:31] <Jimb00b> ok so because ubuntu has its own working torrent program all will work and work the same
[07:31] <Avery> yes! $5  a month!
[07:31] <SilentDis> ilnux, you're in the right spot.  welcome to #ubuntu :)
[07:31] <Avery> I could buy windows with that
[07:31] <preaction> ilnux: #ubuntu-offtopic probably
[07:31] <catalytic> so thats about 2 meg?
[07:31] <AmbientMstr> Nobody's in there
[07:31] <ilnux> has anyone tried metisse?
[07:31] <preaction> catalytic: no, about 6 meg
[07:32] <SilentDis> Avery, great, if that's what you want to do :)
[07:32] <catalytic> expanded?
[07:32] <catalytic> ok
[07:32] <catalytic> thanks
[07:32] <Avery> i don't, i already own it, so why buy it again? :)
[07:32] <SilentDis> Avery, because you said you wanted to.
[07:32] <Avery> no i didn't
[07:32] <Avery> i said i could
[07:32] <Avery> i didn't say i wanted
[07:32] <SilentDis> Avery> I could buy windows with that
[07:33] <preaction> $5 a month for 30 months will buy you a new version of WinXP Pro
[07:33] <SilentDis> ahhh, a troll.  I apologize to the room for feeding it.
[07:34] <zyth> cedega is evil.
[07:34] <zyth> anyways ;)
[07:34] <SirBob1701> ...
[07:34] <Jimb00b> silentdis: im trying to understand but i still dont think im fallowing... im dense sorry :)
[07:34] <elyon225> Why doesn't Adept add icons for all the packages it installs?  When installing a bunch of packages at once, it's hard to find them (and remember which new apps you installed)
[07:35] <zyth> elyon225, sometimes icons in the menus don't show up till you log off/on.  Don't ask me why.
[07:35] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, no worries.  what are you trying to wrap the old noggin' around? I can't stay too much longer, gatta work in the morning hehe
[07:35] <Jimb00b> why does torrents work but say mirc doesnt?
[07:35] <zyth> Jimb00b, mirc works under wine.  But there's better irc clients ;)
[07:35] <chona> smarty template engine help
[07:35] <preaction> Jimb00b: mirc is a windows program?
[07:36] <elyon225> zyth: Some didn't show up at all.  For instance, I just installed 10 new games (my mom's an addict)... NONE of them have icons.  Last night I installed 5... NONE had icons.  I have to manually search for where they were installed (since they also don't all install to the same places)
[07:36] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, you're compairing apples and oranges.  torrent is a technology.  mirc is an application.
[07:36] <zyth> xchat > mirc.
[07:36] <catalytic> wow
[07:36] <preaction> chona: this is an IRC channel, not a search engine
[07:36] <zyth> elyon225, were they all X programs?
[07:36] <catalytic> hosting is easy, no wonder there are so many companies popping up all over the place
[07:36] <elyon225> zyth: Not all, but most.
[07:36] <elyon225> zyth: Or at least some of them.
[07:36] <preaction> chona: also, this isn't a smarty support channel, there's probably one on freenode for it, try /list
[07:36] <SilentDis> chona, I'd recommend checking out http://smarty.php.net/ for more info
[07:36] <zyth> elyon225, I think the package has to be set up to install icons.  I'm not 100% on that.
[07:36] <Jimb00b> okay why does bittornado work without the need for wine but mirc needs it?
[07:37] <xhaan> anyone happen to know where the main PATH is in dapper?
[07:37] <preaction> Jimb00b: because bittornado is written in python and is interpreted
[07:37] <preaction> xhaan: type `echo $PATH` at a command line?
[07:37] <xhaan> that doesnt tell me what file its in :0
[07:37] <BBking> where can I
[07:37] <Jimb00b> so its coding is understood where as mirc is not?
[07:37] <Lapsus> Hello everyone!
[07:37] <preaction> xhaan: or do you mean you want to add something to it as a default. ~/.bashrc
[07:37] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, bittornado is an application written for linux (or, at least one of it's ports is written for linux).  Mirc is a windows IRC application.  there are MANY other IRC applications.  for example, I'm using Xchat, a native linux IRC client.
[07:37] <zyth> xhaan, .bashrc or .profile I expect, for your user.
[07:37] <xhaan> i need the system wide path
[07:37] <BBking> where can i put my themes, downloaded of gnome-look.org?
[07:38] <xhaan> looked in profile and bashrc and bash_profile, none actually have a PATH
[07:38] <zyth> xhaan, /etc/bash.bashrc
[07:38] <preaction> xhaan: why do you need the system-wide path?
[07:38] <xhaan> i made one and it works as user but not with the system
[07:38] <Jimb00b> hmmm okay i think im understanding
[07:38] <felixhummel_> hi
[07:38] <elyon225> zyth: So where the heck does it install them?  Of the 10 games I just installed, none have icons, and only ONE has an executable in /usr/share/games
[07:38] <Lapsus> Is there anyone willing to help me get my videocard drivers installed? I've been trying for a few weeks and I've had no luck at all.
[07:38] <xhaan> so i can do xboard -fcp crafty ;0
[07:39] <BBking> where can i put my themes, downloaded of gnome-look.org?
[07:39] <felixhummel_> how can i change the gnome-keyring password?
[07:39] <elyon225> zyth: Err, /usr/games/ rather
[07:39] <preaction> !patience > BBking
[07:39] <zyth> elyon225, really beats the heck outa me. Check /usr/local/games, usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /opt/...
[07:39] <BBking> sorry preaction
[07:39] <Jimb00b> is there like a list of stuff that works without the use of wine or anything else?
[07:39] <zyth> that'd be quite the list
[07:39] <zyth> lol
[07:39] <xhaan> its not in bash.bashrc either...
[07:40] <Jimb00b> guess thats a no lol
[07:40] <elyon225> zyth: Grr... lol you'd think Linux would be better than Windows in this respect :)  At least with Windows you could either CHOOSE, or GUESS where the app was installed.
[07:40] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, under linux, the programs used to access the 'stuff' you want to 'do' are different than windows.  Xchat (or a whole host of others) for IRC, gaim for unified instant messaging (icq/aim/yahoo/etc), OpenOffice.org for writing stuff (comparable to MS Office)
[07:40] <zyth> xhaan, oi, /etc/profile then
[07:40] <zyth> man
[07:40] <zyth> xhaan, this is *nix 101 here :P
[07:40] <preaction> xhaan: sudo grep -R "PATH" / | less # and enjoy the wait
[07:40] <tehquickness> I I am having a problem with openoffice. All the icons and menus all disapear unless my mouse cursor is on top of them. Any idea on what this could be?
[07:41] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, you need to look at the action you want to do, rather than the application.  for example, if you want to chat with IRC, under windows one program you can use is MIRC.  under linux, one application you can use is called XChat
[07:41] <Jimb00b> silentdis: so basicly they are written different and can't be understood without a translator ie wine?
[07:41] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, yep
[07:41] <Jimb00b> see? im dense lol
[07:42] <Lapsus> Anyone willing to give me a hand? I've tried following the desktop guide, and it's led me to 3 reinstalls so far.
[07:42] <xhaan> preaction, i may have to do that
[07:42] <Flannel> Lapsus: which guide? and what are you trying to do?
[07:42] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, some applications don't have a 'native' linux client.  they are windows-only.  that's where wine steps in.  if you look around a bit though (or ask here), most of the time, there's native linux progams that'll do the job :)
[07:42] <Flannel> elyon225: just use "locate", and it'll tell you
[07:42] <Lapsus> Flannel: The ubuntu 6.06 desktop guide. I'm trying to enable hardware acceleration for my videocards.
[07:43] <elyon225> Flannel: Any way to avoid having to do that every single time I install something?
[07:43] <Jimb00b> alright time for bed... thanks a bunch silentdis :)
[07:43] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, many current video games have native linux versions.  UT2k4, Doom3 to name 2 off the top of my head.
[07:43] <Flannel> elyon225: why do you need to know?  They're all in the path.  Just... type the name.
[07:43] <Flannel> !nvidia | Lapsus, follow this guide
[07:43] <ubotu> Lapsus, follow this guide: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:43] <SilentDis> Jimb00b, ok, g'night.  drop in again if you need help finding an app to do the job in linux :)
[07:43] <Jimb00b> will do :)
[07:44] <SilentDis> !envy | Lapsus
[07:44] <ubotu> Lapsus: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[07:44] <elyon225> Flannel: EVERYTHING I install will be in the path?
[07:44] <xhaan> i want xboard to be able to find crafty... i have it in my path in .bashrc and it works when i launch it from a terminal but if i launch it with alt+f2 it cant find crafty anymore :p
[07:44] <mneptok> xhaan: because the default login shell is not bash. use chsh to change your login shell.
[07:44] <Lapsus> okay thanks guys, I'll try those. Hopefully they won't lead me to another plethora of crashes and reinstalls.
[07:45] <preaction> elyon225: that's the idea of a distro, these things are set up automatically
[07:45] <elyon225> Flannel: Nice... and the auto-completion works.  Where was that information when I first started with Linux? lol
[07:45] <xhaan> mneptok, ahh thanks :0
[07:45] <elyon225> preaction: So, I've been searching high and low for this long and NEVER knew about it all being within the path ;)
[07:45] <mneptok> xhaan: your X session will need to be restarted.
[07:45] <shmeelAway> any1 good with virtual Windows running on linux?
[07:46] <elyon225> Flannel: Of course, that doesn't help me REMEMBER what I've installed (particularly when I install a bunch of games for my mother and now need to make icons for her)
[07:46] <preaction> elyon225: if you can't find something, use `which <name>` and it will tell you which <name> on your PATH it will try to run
[07:46] <Beverage> Hey folks, I have been trying to give myself the permission to work with documents in /var/www/ and i don't know how to permanently configure it to let me, i tried googling my issue but that did not lead me anywhere...all help is appreciated
[07:46] <preaction> Beverage: man chown
[07:46] <mneptok> Beverage: what is your username?
[07:46] <Beverage> jon
[07:47] <elyon225> preaction: Another command I wasn't aware of ;)
[07:47] <elyon225> preaction: Thank you.
[07:48] <Beverage> preaction: my username is jon
[07:48] <tamacracker> can anyone recommend me a good website to buy Computer IDE hard drives that are 160GB+?
[07:48] <shmeelAway> any1 good with virtual Windows running on linux? I want to get my VM to read a external hardrive
[07:48] <mneptok> Beverage: sudo chown -R root:jon /var/www && sudo chmod -R 770 /var/www && sudo chmod -R -x+X /var/www
[07:48] <preaction> elyon225: if "which" doesn't work, "find / -name <name>" will search recursively from "/" to find what you're looking for
[07:48] <preaction> tamacracker: i personally use pricewatch.com, but that question is more for #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:49] <tamacracker> thanks preaction :P
[07:49] <preaction> shmeelAway: it all depends on what VM you're using
[07:49] <shmeelAway> VMPlayer
[07:50] <TheSkorm> My ubuntu stopped working, just before it had to get sent into for warrenty (mother board problems) so when i got it back it still wasnt working, well, my x wasnt working, so i done sudo apt-get upgrade and that, and it worked
[07:50] <TheSkorm> god i love linux
[07:50] <shmeelAway> is it possible with that? I can't seem to be able to install VMware Server, and i don't want to pay for workstation
[07:50] <TheSkorm> can you login to windows if it's display dies?
[07:50] <cablesm102> shmeelAway, you're still at this? I'd say two days of your time is worth more than the price of VMWare.
[07:50] <TheSkorm> i dont think so
[07:50] <preaction> shmeelAway: um... the vmware server is required to run a vm. the vmware player connects to the vmware server
[07:51] <TheSkorm> this is why linux wins
[07:51] <MystaMax> ok, im running sudo shutdown now, and after it stops the services its taking me to a root prompt. why is that??
[07:51] <cablesm102> preaction, that's not true
[07:51] <shmeelAway> lol, i got VMPlayer working
[07:51] <shmeelAway> but i can't get my external harddrive connected to it
[07:51] <shmeelAway> =p
[07:51] <TheSkorm> you need to shutdown -h now
[07:51] <cablesm102> preaction, shmeelAway, VMPlayer plays VMs but cannot create them. VMware Server can create and play VMs.
[07:51] <brainly-green> AARGGHFASDL I set up a WPA network and Network Manager won't connect to it (only accepts WEP) and wpa_supplicant doesn't know my driver
[07:51] <preaction> cablesm102: eh, been a while since i played with vmware
[07:51] <shmeelAway> i created one w/ qemu
[07:52] <TheSkorm> MystaMax: sudo shutdown -h now
[07:52] <unkmar> I figured it out on my own.
[07:52] <shmeelAway> creation worked, i can run a VM on my machine
[07:52] <brainly-green> and if I want to update Network Manager, I need a !@$% network connection to begin with!
[07:52] <cablesm102> shmeelAway, I believe that VMWare Server is free and offers most of the features of VMware Workstation.
[07:52] <TheSkorm> brainly-green: not true.
[07:52] <shmeelAway> but my USB external hardrive just won't show up, along w/ another usb device i have
[07:52] <MystaMax> thanks TheSkorm, that did the trick
[07:52] <preaction> brainly-green: download the package onto a flash drive or something
[07:52] <TheSkorm> you can download the required packages else where or cd
[07:53] <brainly-green> ok well I have a laptop that has internet access, mac os x
[07:53] <brainly-green> I'll give it a shot
[07:53] <shmeelAway> yea, i know but every time i try to install vmware server it says i already have a VM thing installed, and i don't know where it is, tried to find it but can't. plus i heard it's pretty unstable
[07:53] <brainly-green> yeah I like it
[07:53] <preaction> i have a macbook pro, and i love it
[07:53] <TheSkorm> itll proberly be my first lappy
[07:53] <TheSkorm> i might research a bit more into them, since im looking for a compat laptop
[07:53] <MystaMax> wait shmeelAway what are you trying to do
[07:54] <MystaMax> I've had vmware tell me the samething before
[07:54] <cablesm102> I love mac laptops, but lately they've had so many problems... battery swelling anyone?
[07:54] <tamacracker> http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=HD-MX200AR&c=pw
[07:54] <tabman> I want to remove firefox and do a clean install of the new firefox ?
[07:55] <shmeelAway> i botched my first setup, no clue where i saved the files. then every time i try to set it up again it says i already have it installed but i don't know how to get the old one off cuz i can' tfind it
[07:55] <preaction> tamacracker: one: ask before pm. two: this is not the place for this conversation.
[07:55] <mneptok> TheSkorm: you want a Mac for sure, or an Ubuntu capable laptop?
[07:55] <TheSkorm> a mac
[07:55] <mneptok> it's your money ;)
[07:55] <cablesm102> mneptok, macs are Ubuntu capable.
[07:55] <TheSkorm> hehehe
[07:56] <preaction> TheSkorm: MBP can run ubuntu, and parallels is quite nice for VMs (though it is $80)
[07:56] <mneptok> cablesm102: uhhh ...i know :)
[07:56] <TheSkorm> macs look so shinny
[07:56] <cablesm102> mneptok, sorry, humor detection is off for the night
[07:56] <preaction> otherwise, OSX is based on BSD, which is very nice
[07:56] <mneptok> TheSkorm: personally i lust after the Fujitsu P7120
[07:56] <cablesm102> Question: how do you dual-boot OSX and Ubuntu? Do you use Grub or Boot Camp?
[07:56] <shmeelAway> but i don't care much for the VMserver if it's not necessary to read USB devices, my USB mouse is read, but my USB bluetooth wireless music player doesn't, and my external hard drive doens't
[07:56] <preaction> cablesm102: what type of mac?
[07:57] <TheSkorm> well, laptops driver caplibities are usually shit, but mac with its built operarting system macs it fast
[07:57] <cablesm102> preaction, Intel.
[07:57] <TheSkorm> though i havnt done much research
[07:57] <mneptok> cablesm102: you can use either, but only GRUB is officially supported.
[07:57] <TheSkorm> just seen nice shinny ones
[07:57] <cablesm102> preaction, that's cool. So Grub can load OS X?
[07:57] <mneptok> !language TheSkorm
[07:57] <preaction> cablesm102: intel macs use EFI, so you want rEFIt and then grub
[07:57] <MystaMax> shmeelAway, check this thread out, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=170732
[07:57] <cablesm102> preaction, I'm just curious... don't have a mac... yet.
[07:57] <mneptok> ubotu: wake up

[07:58] <mathew> HI, can you guys give me a hand with beryl. Is there anything that needs to be done to xorg.conf?
[07:58] <Flannel> !beryl | mathew
[07:58] <ubotu> mathew: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[07:58] <Beverage> mneptok: thanks for the help before that worked great
[07:58] <shmeelAway> mystamax, ok
[07:58] <catalytic> if a create a file with nano
[07:58] <mneptok> Beverage: np
[07:58] <jb0nd38372> Is there any virtulization software that will run windows near full speed as if only xp was running?
[07:58] <catalytic> how can i make sure that file is in ASCII?
[07:58] <preaction> cablesm102: no, EFI has no real MBR, it's completely different from BIOS
[07:58] <preaction> jb0nd38372: no, and there never will be
[07:58] <catalytic> jb0nd38372, parallels ?
[07:58] <cablesm102> jb0nd38372, parallels or vmware, but you need a ton of memory
[07:59] <cablesm102> they can do about 90% speed. As long as you have tons of RAM.
[07:59] <preaction> jb0nd38372: the idea behind software virtualization negates the possibility
[07:59] <mneptok> TheSkorm: http://reviews.cnet.com/Fujitsu_LifeBook_P7120/4505-3121_7-31625296.html
[07:59] <jb0nd38372> Just trying to get away from a dual boot situation.  About the only thing in xp that I even care about is f.e.a.r and wine doesn't run it yet, from what i've found
[07:59] <shmeelAway> i don't think it said how to fix it -.-
[07:59] <mneptok> TheSkorm: i'd take that in a *heartbeat* over a MB(P)
[08:00] <mneptok> jb0nd38372: buy a console :)
[08:00] <cablesm102> preaction, jb0nd38372, it's actually pretty usable now. However, there's no 3d acceleration support yet, and you need as much RAM as you would need for all OSes added up
[08:01] <preaction> mneptok: that thing is smaller than her boobs...
[08:01] <jb0nd38372> cablesm102, I have 2 gig of ram, on a nvidia 7950gs card.. but vmware of course wont even attempt to run f.e.a.r, lol, I was hoping something like xen might work.  I tried parallels, but even though it installed, and configuered, for some reason the drivers wouldn't load, and I gave up
[08:02] <cablesm102> jb0nd38372, nothing works with 3d acceleration yet. So pretty much no modern games will run in any VM.
[08:02] <jb0nd38372> doh oh well :)
[08:03] <jb0nd38372> atleast ubuntu is running great
[08:03] <acts_as_idiot> Could anyone give a newbie some partitioning guidance? When I installed 6.10 desktop, I chose the option of everything on a single partition (/dev/sda1).  Now I want to split it up into /boot, /, /home, /usr, /var. I started by burning a gparted live CD. Used that to shrink my existing partition, created another new one (/dev/sda3), and copied everything from /dev/sda1 into /dev/sda3. Now I...
[08:03] <acts_as_idiot> ...as the next step was planning to mount everything except /boot from /dev/sda3 as the next step, then delete everything except /boot from /dev/sda1, shrink it down to 100M.  Does that sound ok?
[08:04] <Beverage> ubotu: beryl
[08:04] <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
[08:04] <Beverage> ubotu: thanks
[08:04] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[08:04] <cablesm102> !you're a genius
[08:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about you're a genius - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:04] <cablesm102> okay i guess not...
[08:06] <spasticteapot> Can anyone recocmend a kernel for a Pentium M (not dual-core!)
[08:06] <spasticteapot> Should I use the 686 kernel or the SMP kernel?
[08:06] <preaction> the latest 2.6 series doesn't work?
[08:07] <preaction> SMP is Symmetric multi processing, something that only dual-core have (iirc)
[08:07] <regeya> whee.
[08:08] <regeya> ubotu: no, "you're a genius" is :-)
[08:08] <n2diy> preaction: not entirely correct, I'm running dual _cpus_ with smp.
[08:08] <Flannel> spasticteapot: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:08] <iter> preaction: generic kernel
[08:09] <regeya> spasticteapot: if you're not using a multi-core processor, then no, the smp kernel will do nothing for you.
[08:09] <preaction> spasticteapot: or as n2diy said, multiple processors
[08:09] <iter> smp is deprecated, it's generic now
[08:09] <Mez> regeya, everyhing is forwarded to the ops for review
[08:10] <Flannel> iter: not if he's runnign dapper.  Although. smp is deprecated even in dapper, breezy was the last version with -smp kernels for the x86 family
[08:10] <acts_as_idiot> Can anyone out there help a newbie with a partitioning question? How do I split an everything on a single partion install into /boot,/,/usr,/var partitions?
[08:10] <iter> haha oook
[08:10] <mena> Do Any one have experince in Amsn ....bec i wont o add to it a fonts its  so Do you have any idea
[08:11] <iter> acts_as_idiot: gparted
[08:11] <Flannel> acts_as_idiot: you'd make the other partitions (repartition), copy everything over, add them to your fstab so they mount on bootup, and thats... it.  all of which should be done from a liveCD
[08:12] <TheSkorm> I have a question about ubuntu...
[08:12] <psyoblade> can someone help this newbie?
[08:12] <TheSkorm> Can i get it supersized?
[08:12] <ohnonoagain> hi
[08:12] <TheSkorm> psyoblade: which newbie?
[08:13] <psyoblade> sorry me... Trying to install ubuntu
[08:13] <TheSkorm> whats your problem?
[08:13] <ohnonoagain> other then myth tv is there any simple interfaces for accessing media files
[08:13] <catalytic> hi, i have installed apache2
[08:13] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: The install hangs at 34% where it states its unpacking required packages
[08:14] <psyoblade> all the time
[08:14] <catalytic> and created a .cgi script in perl in the root folder
[08:14] <TheSkorm> treid a differnt disc / reburnt?
[08:14] <catalytic> but when i browse to it, i see the code and not the cgi output
[08:14] <Lapsus> Hi again guys! Looks like I've finally got hardware acceleration
[08:14] <catalytic> have i forgotten to do somehting?
[08:14] <psyoblade> yup tried the alternate, server, desktop install
[08:14] <TheSkorm> catalytic: you need to install perl
[08:14] <catalytic> ive got it i think
[08:14] <catalytic> when i locate perl
[08:14] <Lapsus> Thanks for the help with that :)
[08:14] <TheSkorm> and update the httpd.conf file to say youve got perl
[08:14] <spasticteapot> Sorry about that...
[08:14] <catalytic> ah ok
[08:15] <iter> psyoblade: do you have enough disk space?
[08:15] <acts_as_idiot> iter: thanks. Flannel: thanks. I've used gparted and created a new partition, and copied like you suggest. It's just a matter of changing the entries in fstab now?
[08:15] <acts_as_idiot> 
[08:15] <iter> acts_as_idiot: yep
[08:15] <catalytic> so i havent finished the apache2 installation properly yet?
[08:15] <spasticteapot> Anyway...what kernel do I want for a Pentium-M single-core?
[08:15] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: I also burned the CD at 4x and ran a CD check
[08:15] <iter> generic
[08:15] <spasticteapot> i686 or SMP?
[08:15] <iter> 686
[08:15] <ohnonoagain> might be faulty ram psyoblade
[08:15] <Lapsus> Now I just need to know how to terminate a program that has locked up on me, is there any convenient key-combo I should know?
[08:15] <spasticteapot> Thanks!
[08:15] <iter> Lapsus: you can use xkill
[08:16] <TheSkorm> psyoblade: well i dunno much about the installasion of these things, but to me it seems corrupted, treid running a md5 hash on it?
[08:16] <ohnonoagain> i once had a similar problem with wiondows turned out to be a faulty ram stick
[08:16] <psyoblade> ohnonoagain: I did a MEMTEST on it for about 13hours
[08:16] <psyoblade> nothing
[08:16] <ohnonoagain> maybe not then
[08:16] <ohnonoagain> : )
[08:16] <iter> psyoblade: check your install media if you're sure you have enough disk
[08:16] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: md5sum checks out fine
[08:16] <psyoblade> iter: I have 4.4gigs
[08:16] <spasticteapot> I re-installed Xubuntu with ReiserFS - it seems faster.
[08:16] <TheSkorm> checked the hard disk foar errors?
[08:16] <spasticteapot> Anyone else noticed this?
[08:17] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: how do I do that?
[08:17] <iter> did you stab the gf while you're at it?
[08:17] <TheSkorm> uh
[08:17] <spasticteapot> No. I have no GF.
[08:17] <spasticteapot> After all, I'm in an IRC chatroom.
[08:17] <iter> haha
[08:17] <iter> :)
[08:17] <spasticteapot> What did you expect? :)
[08:17] <TheSkorm> psyoblade: there certian boot disks that can do it, or a bootable version of linux and run fsk
[08:18] <TheSkorm> fsck
[08:18] <TheSkorm> FSCK
[08:18] <TheSkorm> F S C K
[08:18] <vir3nt> fsck indeed
[08:18] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: I can boot off the CD of desktop ubuntu but I am unable to mount the harddrive
[08:18] <TheSkorm> minus caps, since *nix is case sensitive
[08:19] <TheSkorm> does it need to be mounted for fsck to check?
[08:19] <iter> yes
[08:20] <TheSkorm> why cant it mount
[08:20] <TheSkorm> well
[08:20] <TheSkorm> hmm
[08:20] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: I need to be a su

[08:21] <regeya> what, is there a trick to make reiserfs more unstable than usual?
[08:21] <spasticteapot> I'm very proud of myself - while I'm still a total newbie, I've learned the proper way to ask for help!
[08:21] <TheSkorm> shouldnt need one i would think...
[08:21] <spasticteapot> What's wrong with ReiserFS?
[08:21] <vir3nt> nothing
[08:21] <spasticteapot> Seems zippier than EXT3.
[08:21] <iter> it gets all stabby with your hard drive
[08:21] <vir3nt> reiser is awesome
[08:21] <zyth> spasticteapot, it'll kill your wife
[08:21] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: sudo mount will request a password
[08:21] <regeya> absolutely nothing.  if you have problems with it it's a hardware issue.  there is no other explanation.
[08:21] <TheSkorm> have you tried
[08:21] <spasticteapot> zyth: No worries there. I never intend to marry.
[08:22] <regeya> the code is 100% bugg free.
[08:22] <regeya> :->
[08:22] <psyoblade> TheSkorm:yes i have tried
[08:22] <TheSkorm> ok

[08:48] <vir3nt> most distros include gcc
[08:48] <lover_boy> sometimes
[08:48] <mabus> I'm pretty sure ubuntu doesn't
[08:48] <vir3nt> humm
[08:48] <vir3nt> really?
[08:48] <mabus> it's in the build-essential package
[08:48] <vir3nt> ahh
[08:48] <Lapsus> it's a "metacity" theme, if that has anything to do with it.
[08:48] <Flannel> it's not installed by default, it's available on the install CD though, even the Desktop one
[08:48] <lover_boy> ottO: what is the question?
[08:48] <psyoblade> THeSkorm: A samsung 4.3gig harddrive (stock with Dell Dimensions)
[08:49] <ohnonoagain> is this right samba allows you to map drives on a windows box that reside on a linux box? or does it allow you to map drives on a linux box that are on a windows box?
[08:49] <vir3nt> thats a small drive
[08:49] <ott0> yeah, anyway I tried to compile a test cpp file and it can't find iostream
[08:49] <Lesiu> from aptitude ? i just get package ?
[08:49] <Flannel> ott0: install build-essential
[08:49] <xhaan> ohnonoagain, yes and yes
[08:49] <ott0> ah, thanks
[08:50] <ohnonoagain> ok so it does both i see
[08:50] <Lapsus> Anyone? How can I install a new theme?
[08:50] <lover_boy> did you install build-essential yet?
[08:50] <ott0> can i run that while I'm doing the Software Update at the same time?
[08:50] <psyoblade> vir3nt: Is it too small for ubuntu?
[08:50] <vir3nt> i'd say so
[08:50] <ott0> lover_boy: no, pardon my ignorance :)
[08:51] <ohnonoagain> when i tried to map to a drive on my windows box i  get a request for a password but the drive has no password set up any ideas
[08:51] <lover_boy> yes, for example using Synaptic to update.
[08:51] <vir3nt> psyoblade: even if you installed the minimal packages, you would have almost no storage space
[08:51] <xhaan> you have to set up a password for samba
[08:51] <vir3nt> psyoblade: however, i doubt you could even fit it on that small of a drive.
[08:51] <TheSkorm> ok psyoblade
[08:51] <TheSkorm> sorry it took me so long
[08:51] <TheSkorm> but sa,sung has a tool to check there hdds
[08:52] <ohnonoagain> oh is see wrong password
[08:52] <TheSkorm> youll have to make a dos bootdisk
[08:52] <TheSkorm> and run this tool
[08:52] <TheSkorm> http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/utilities/shdiag.htm
[08:52] <ott0> what's the diff between building and compiling again? is it that building links multiple source files together?
[08:52] <TheSkorm> should find/fix the problems and if it cant fix its time to buy a new one
[08:52] <psyoblade> TheSkorm: Thanks for helping me out
[08:52] <mabus> what's the escape character in vim regexes?
[08:53] <psyoblade> I appreciate it
[08:53] <mabus> in perl for instance, for a forward slash in a regex youd' do \/
[08:53] <xhaan> ohnonoagain, http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/samba/smbpasswd.8.html
[08:53] <mena> is there an applet like forcequit wich its in ubuntu is like that for kubuntu
[08:53] <vir3nt> psyoblade: also, that drive is so small that it wont have alot of use...
[08:53] <TheSkorm> psyoblade : no problem
[08:55] <riotkittie> eh 4.3 should be doable
[08:55] <incorrect> i would like to move to kde desktop from gnome? is this possible without going to kubuntu?
[08:55] <vir3nt> incorrect: yes its posible
[08:55] <riotkittie> incorrect: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:55] <riotkittie> brb
[08:55] <incorrect> thanks
[08:58] <TheSkorm> The cool things you can do in irssi are unlimited
[08:58] <mabus> TheSkorm: same goes for any client, it all depends on if you like a gui
[08:59] <TheSkorm> Irssi is nice a powerful
[08:59] <TheSkorm> xD
[08:59] <TheSkorm>  5:59PM  up 15 days,  3:48, 3 users, load averages: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
[08:59] <mabus> I use irssi, but all of the major clients have perl capabilities don't they?
[08:59] <throw_ubuntu_out> hei evey body<
[08:59] <TheSkorm> but mirc
[08:59] <TheSkorm> because it sucks
[09:00] <mabus> kind of getting off topic
[09:00] <TheSkorm> and you know whats annoying, i installed it a day before they realsed a new vresion
[09:00] <TheSkorm> new kernal and all
[09:00] <TheSkorm> and yes we are going off topic
[09:01] <mena> by the wat to kill a window in kubuntu press ctrl+alt+esc...thanks
[09:02] <throw_ubuntu_out> I install Kbuntu on top of ubuntu, and is running gnome by default. Now what
[09:02] <TheSkorm> just before you login
[09:02] <TheSkorm> theres a button that says seesion
[09:02] <TheSkorm> or something
[09:02] <TheSkorm> click on it
[09:02] <TheSkorm> and you can select kde
[09:02] <TheSkorm> but gnome is better....
[09:02] <Flannel> throw_ubuntu_out: you choose KDE at GDM (the login screen) under 'sessions'
[09:03] <TheSkorm> or that...
[09:04] <TheSkorm> QoS , iinet any good, i got told to switch to them
[09:04] <throw_ubuntu_out> Now what I shutdown, the machine from gnome, I see the flash screen, says it's Kbuntu, how do I change that flash screen.
[09:04] <TheSkorm> hmm, oh dear
[09:05] <TheSkorm> did you literally install kubuntu ontop of ubuntu
[09:05] <QoS> iiNet used to be good, their cust service has gone downhill a bit
[09:05] <throw_ubuntu_out> I install the only Kde packages on ubuntu.
[09:06] <TheSkorm> mmk
[09:07] <TheSkorm> im out for tea
[09:07] <regeya> mind you, installing kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu would do nothing bad, but eh
[09:07] <TheSkorm> been fun...
[09:07] <regeya> seems a bit wasteful
[09:08] <throw_ubuntu_out> regeya: it seems by doing that, it change my shutdown flash screen.
[09:09] <regeya> throw_ubuntu_out: judging by your /nick, that wouldn't be a bad thing?
[09:09] <pyr0000> hello, i have a question. i want to do dual boot with 2 physical drives one with xp which is allready done and another with ubuntu. i have installed ubuntu so thats not the question the thing is on the drive with ubuntu i want to have a partion with shared files for both os's, music and movies mainly. but to have it be accessable by both os's as well might be a media server for mp3s to a netwroked jukebox(allready done) so how should i set it up
[09:10] <regeya> pyr0000: set up one partition, format it as fat32...lowest (and least problematic) denominator...
[09:10] <throw_ubuntu_out> regeya: it just reflect my problem, not good.
[09:11] <regeya> so wait...having your bootsplash change is a "problem, not good"
[09:11] <pyr0000> ya thats what i was thinking but with windows being able to see linux and vice versa i just thought ...
[09:11] <pyr0000> but
[09:11] <pyr0000> KISS
[09:11] <pyr0000> keep it simple
[09:11] <throw_ubuntu_out> regeya: may be. it's not normal.
[09:12] <regeya> throw_ubuntu_out: if you installed kubuntu-desktop, it most certainly is normal.
[09:12] <wehttaMB> can i have both the gnome and kde desktop on my computer and switch between them
[09:12] <throw_ubuntu_out> regeya: change my flash screen is not.
[09:14] <pyr0000> just install kde with gnome
[09:14] <regeya> goodbhye.
[09:14] <wehttaMB> how do i do that
[09:14] <pyr0000> then you can run both k and g programs
[09:14] <throw_ubuntu_out> wehttaMB: did you install Ubuntu then kubuntu-desktop?
[09:14] <wehttaMB> i already have ubuntu installed
[09:14] <pyr0000> look it up in the forums not sure i didi it once befor to get some dock to work
[09:14] <pyr0000> its an apt-get
[09:14] <wehttaMB> i want to install kde into ubuntu
[09:14] <pyr0000> not sure
[09:14] <wehttaMB> ok
[09:14] <wehttaMB> thanks

[09:23] <JackDanielzz> glad i could help
[09:24] <misnix> ls /etc
[09:25] <misnix> oops
[09:25] <Dandre> I am searching how to zoom out a vncclient session . I have a desktop of 1280*1027 and I want to remotely view a 1650*1150 session and I want to view all of it in window. I haven't found
[09:27] <rhainur> erm
[09:27] <rhainur> hi
[09:27] <rhainur> kinda noobish linux user here
[09:27] <rhainur> I just installed ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron E1705
[09:27] <rhainur> and the monitor resolution only goes up to 1024x768
[09:27] <rhainur> it seems that I need a 915resolution patch
[09:28] <rhainur> however, apt-get tells me it cannot find the 915resolution package
[09:28] <rhainur> :(
[09:28] <rhainur> so what should I do?
[09:28] <rhainur> anybody?
[09:29] <epkphoto> rhainur, do you know if you have your universe repository enabled?
[09:30] <epkphoto> as you can see here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/915resolution  that package is in the universe repository
[09:31] <rhainur> hang on...just tried the method linked to in the FAQ here
[09:31] <rhainur> says I need to restart X
[09:31] <mabus> can somebody help me to get cgi to work with any http server?
[09:31] <rhainur> brb
[09:32] <frogzoo_> mabus: cgi module in apache?
[09:32] <quilladesa> is it possible that my combination of monitor and graphics chipset will not let me display 1440x900 in dapper?
[09:33] <quilladesa> because I've tried what I believe to be everything to get it to work correctly
[09:33] <rhainur> hm
[09:33] <rhainur> no
[09:33] <rhainur> that didn't work
[09:33] <rhainur> so how do I enable the universe repository?
[09:33] <mabus> frogzoo_: how do I install a module?
[09:34] <rhainur> also is there a keyboard shortcut for opening a terminal window?
[09:34] <mabus> frogzoo_: I tried tinkering with the httpd.conf but I couldn't get it to work
[09:34] <rhainur> this is under GNOME
[09:34] <frogzoo_> mabus: think apache2 already has cgi module - you should configure it in the config
[09:35] <frogzoo_> rhainur: you need to use the conf editor & bind a new keystroke to gnome-terminal within metacity's settings
[09:36] <Dandre> What is the best vnc client for ubuntu?
[09:36] <rhainur> wow
[09:36] <rhainur> sorry frogzoo
[09:36] <valehru> Hey guys, I'm trying to install w32codecs but I keep getting the following error:   w32codecs: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4-1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
[09:36] <rhainur> that didn't make much sense to me
[09:36] <rhainur> >_>
[09:36] <rhainur> pardon my noobiness
[09:38] <SamArthurAllen> Hey hey what's happening happy hackers.
[09:38] <rhainur> I'm not very happy at the moment
[09:38] <valehru> Does anyone know what I could do to get 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 installed.  Currently running dapper.
[09:38] <mabus> frogzoo_: cgi_module is already loaded in the default /etc/apache/modules.conf file
[09:38] <rhainur> trying to get 915resolution up and working
[09:38] <SamArthurAllen> Oh? Why's that...
[09:38] <tamacracker> Hey where do I get all the codecs for amarok
[09:38] <frogzoo_> mabus: well then it should work
[09:39] <SamArthurAllen> I see. I have the i945GM chip and trying to get water working.
[09:39] <mneptok> rhainur: what do you see now?
[09:39] <mabus> frogzoo_: therein lies my problem, because it doesn't
[09:39] <rhainur> hang on
[09:39] <rhainur> I googled adding universe to the repositories
[09:39] <rhainur> and I seem to have the patch now
[09:39] <rhainur> so I should restart X?
[09:39] <rhainur> or what?
[09:40] <rhainur> I just installed the package
[09:40] <quilladesa> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the lines about the universe
[09:40] <epkphoto> rhainur, you may just want to completely restart
[09:40] <valehru> Hey guys, I need to get totem to play *.mov files.  Help is required.
[09:40] <rrohde> Installed Ubuntu on a partition "next to" Window$ for dual boot, but apparently I didn't pay attention to GRUB and GRUB's now on the wront partition, and I don't see it when the system starts. What tool can I use to move GRUB to another partition?
[09:41] <rhainur> I ran 915resolution -l and it says ATI chipset detected, and that it only works with Intel 800/900 chipsets
[09:41] <rhainur> sooooo....what now?
[09:41] <rhainur> restart, and hope for the best?
[09:41] <mneptok> rhainur: you figure out what video chipset that machine actually has?
[09:41] <rhainur> well
[09:41] <rhainur> the video card is an ATI Radeon x1400 Mobility Radeon
[09:41] <rhainur> if I remember correctly
[09:42] <mneptok> then why are you tring to use a 915 driver?
[09:42] <mneptok> +y
[09:42] <rhainur> because it said so on the internet xD
[09:42] <rhainur> which sounds like an incredibly naive reason
[09:42] <rhainur> but seriously, all I did was google "resolution problem dell inspiron ubuntu" or something of the sort
[09:42] <mneptok> it sounds like one because it is one. :P
[09:43] <epkphoto> it may have said that for people who have your same laptop, but the intel video version
[09:43] <rhainur> and that's pretty much all I could guess from the results
[09:43] <rhainur> so, someone care to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[09:43] <rhainur> apart from using the wrong driver
[09:43] <valehru> rhainur, could you do lspci
[09:43] <rhainur> >_>
[09:43] <valehru> rhainur, that should tell you ur graphics chipset at least
[09:44] <rhainur> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7145
[09:44] <mneptok> uninstall that package
[09:44] <valehru> rhainur, then thats definitely not a 915
[09:44] <rhainur> I am aware of this
[09:44] <rhainur> here's the thing though
[09:44] <rhainur> I have no fucking clue what I'm doing
[09:44] <rhainur> xD
[09:44] <rhainur> actually, I have no clue what the problem is
[09:44] <valehru> rhainur, you need to install the ATI drivers
[09:45] <mneptok> !language > rhainur
[09:45] <rhainur> oh okay
[09:45] <rhainur> >_>
[09:45] <ndlovu> anybody managed to set up an APC ups to automagically shutdown an ubuntu server?
[09:46] <rhainur> so
[09:46] <valehru> rhainur, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28ATI.29
[09:46] <rhainur> why thank you
[09:46] <rhainur> I was just about to ask
[09:46] <rhainur> xD
[09:46] <SamArthurAllen> man I love this room
[09:46] <rhainur> hm
[09:46] <rhainur> wait
[09:46] <valehru> rhainur, that has most of the stuff there that you'll need....just check out that page before you ask here again if you need something.
[09:47] <quilladesa> is it possible that my combination of monitor and graphics chipset will not let me display 1440x900 in dapper?
[09:47] <mabus> frogzoo_: I am getting internal server errors rather than 404 errors
[09:48] <threeonefour> i cant view youtube with firefox says no flash installed or no javascript is enabled      i just installed flash9 and javascirpt is enabled
[09:48] <valehru> rhainur, you should see  How to install Graphics Driver (ATI): ->http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide <- the ATI / ubuntu wiki for how to install it.
[09:48] <rhainur> doing that right now :)
[09:48] <valehru> rhainur, good.....or you could ditch that laptop and trade it for one with a nvidia chipset....much nicer.
[09:49] <rhainur> I just bought this a couple of months ago
[09:49] <rhainur> >_>
[09:49] <rhainur> Core 2 Duo
[09:50] <rhainur> brb reboot
[09:50] <valehru> I love it when people get all this new hardware, and then decide to run Linux off of it.  Kinda defeats the purpose....especially when you can do the exact same things on older/cheaper machines
[09:50] <persen> valehru: you can have games on linux now :)
[09:51] <Edulix> hello ubuntu people!
[09:51] <valehru> I saw this guy go out, drop 3 grand on a machine with dual SLI, dual monitors, and he has installed red hat on it.....never intends to play a game on it.
[09:51] <Edulix> I need php-gd to generate a captcha..
[09:51] <Edulix> I've installed php5-gd but it's still not there
[09:51] <elyon225> In KDE, when locking a session, how can I prevent the screen saver from coming up when another user logs in and then out again?  I'd like it to simply take them straight back to the login screen instead of prompting for a password.
[09:52] <persen> Can i ask the bot howto install nvidia? The guides i found with google didnt work
[09:52] <Edulix> how do I configure correctly the GD library in PHP?
[09:52] <rhainur> omg yay
[09:52] <rhainur> thanks guys
[09:52] <rhainur> it works now
[09:52] <persen> cool
[09:52] <SoulChild> YEAHHHH my Edgy boots in 28 SECONDS
[09:52] <Flannel> !nvidia | persen
[09:52] <ubotu> persen: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:52] <persen> tnx
[09:54] <SoulChild> !hald
[09:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hald - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:54] <SamArthurAllen> Edulix: I;ve had the same problem. Sometimes apache needs a reboot to work.
[09:54] <SoulChild> what is the programm hald for ???
[09:55] <SoulChild> GUYS how do i modify gdm prioroty at startup
[09:55] <valehru> rhainur, it works?  whats the glxgears give you?
[09:56] <smoenux> hiya
[09:57] <smoenux> does ubuntu have a default firewall and/or firewall settings? I need to forward a port, and it's already forwarded on my router, but it's still being blocked somewhere...
[09:58] <Edulix> SamArthurAllen: it's not that problem
[09:58] <SoulChild> upstart
[09:58] <Edulix> SamArthurAllen: I've rebooted several times since I installed php5-gd
[09:58] <SoulChild> !upstart
[09:58] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[09:59] <AmbientMstr> Hello. I'm having trouble with Last.fm It says audio error: no sound card available and will not play the stream. But I have listened to audio on here before. So what is up?
[09:59] <SamArthurAllen> Edulix: Have you ran the command <?php phpinfo(); ?> in a file through localhost?
[10:00] <Comrade-Muller> My 'quit' button is unresponive....is quite odd.
[10:00] <Comrade-Muller> Has anyone else had a similar problem?
[10:00] <smoenux> comrade-muller: do you have beryl installed ?
[10:01] <Edulix> SamArthurAllen: thanks, now it works. I added extension=gd.so in php.ini
[10:01] <AmbientMstr> Hello. I'm having trouble with Last.fm It says audio error: no sound card available and will not play the stream. But I have listened to audio on here before. So what is up?
[10:01] <Comrade-Muller> smoenux: no
[10:01] <SamArthurAllen> Strange Edulix, and thanks too. I'll remember that one for later.
[10:02] <Edulix> hehe
[10:02] <threeonefour> i cant view youtube with firefox says no flash installed or no javascript is enabled      i just installed flash9 and javascirpt is enabled   but it still don't work
[10:02] <smoenux> Comrade-Muller: hmmm... in that case, I don't really know. I've installed Beryl b4, which killed my quit button.... I thought it might be that
[10:03] <Comrade-Muller> Well, I just installed edgy a couple of days ago, so...
[10:03] <Comrade-Muller> Maybe it's PEBKAC
[10:04] <kbrosnan> threeonefour: is flash listed if you type about:plugins in the address bar
[10:04] <smoenux> does ubuntu have a default firewall and/or firewall settings? I need to forward a port, and it's already forwarded on my router, but it's still being blocked somewhere...
[10:04] <dooglus> smoenux: ubuntu leaves all ports open by default
[10:04] <ademan> is there any easy way to check the clock speed of your GPU?
[10:05] <smoenux> thanks dooglus, at least I now know it's not ubuntu... now to find out what's up....
[10:05] <dooglus> smoenux: check with 'sudo iptables -L' to see ubuntu's firewall rules
[10:06] <AmbientMstr> Hello. I'm having trouble with Last.fm It says audio error: no sound card available and will not play the stream. But I have listened to audio on here before. So what is up?
[10:06] <threeonefour> kbrosnan, yes it is  but apperntly i have free flash and non free installed   how do i remove the free flash
[10:06] <TheSkorm> AmbientMstr
[10:06] <TheSkorm> i find in linux some sound cards dont work the best
[10:06] <AmbientMstr> Realtek?
[10:06] <AmbientMstr> Onboard?
[10:07] <TheSkorm> youll find that it can only play one sound at one time
[10:07] <kbrosnan> threeonefour: I would guess through synaptic package manager
[10:07] <AmbientMstr> Hm
[10:07] <TheSkorm> try stopping all other programs sound
[10:07] <TheSkorm> and then try
[10:07] <threeonefour> kbrosnan, but i don't know the pakage name
[10:07] <smoenux> dooglus: hmm.... the 3 policies are all on "(policy ACCEPT)" with no ports or anything under them... is that how it should be?
[10:07] <TheSkorm> thekorn is mocking me -_-
[10:07] <kbrosnan> threeonefour: flash-free mabe
[10:08] <AmbientMstr> Okie
[10:08] <AmbientMstr> Ty
[10:08] <TheSkorm> AmbientMstr worked?
[10:08] <threeonefour> kbrosnan, thx i will try
[10:08] <persen> Anyone know what linux-restricted-modules i should choose for a edgy (6.10) ubuntu on athlon xp ?
[10:08] <persen> -686 ?
[10:10] <Madpilot> persen, -k7, I think
[10:10] <Sazpaimon> alright, so I installed Ubuntu in VMWare to a physical partition
[10:10] <Comrade-Muller> Anyone able to give advice on a quit button that won't work?
[10:10] <Sazpaimon> when I boot into it natively I can't start X
[10:10] <persen> Can i chech what linux-image-xxx i have installed?
[10:10] <Sazpaimon> what do I need to do to get X to correctly detect my hardware?
[10:11] <Sazpaimon> or how do I completely reconfigure X
[10:11] <TheSkorm> Sazpaimon
[10:12] <TheSkorm> going on memory so this will proberly be worng
[10:12] <TheSkorm> sudo dpkg-reconifugre x..something....something.blah blah blah
[10:12] <TheSkorm> or something like that
[10:13] <persen> Can i chech what linux-image-xxx i have installed?
[10:13] <Sazpaimon> well that helps kind of
[10:14] <nothlit> xserver-xorg
[10:14] <ardchoille42> TheSkorm, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:15] <persen> Looks like i already have linux-restricted-moduels-generic installed and i dont need the k7 one since the generic rendered the others obsoloete, at least aptitude tells me that.
[10:15] <nothlit> if you're running edgy you will have 2.6.17
[10:15] <nothlit> !info linux-generic dapper
[10:15] <ubotu> Package linux-generic does not exist in dapper
[10:15] <nothlit> doh no generic
[10:15] <nothlit> !info linux-generic
[10:15] <ubotu> linux-generic: Complete Generic Linux kernel. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.17.10 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB

[10:16] <soundray> nothlit: use /msg ubotu pls
[10:16] <ardchoille42> 2.6.15-27-386 on Dapper
[10:16] <nothlit> soundray, i'm using it to display the default up to date kernel to the person who asked.
[10:17] <ardchoille42> nothlit, That isn't the up-to-date kernel anyway
[10:17] <nothlit> ardchoille42, it should be for 6.06 and 6.10
[10:17] <soundray> nothlit: use /msg so you don't have to fish for it in public. Just a suggestion.
[10:17] <nothlit> soundray, wasn't fishing
[10:17] <ardchoille42> nothlit, I am on 6.06.1 LTS and I have 2.6.15-27-386
[10:18] <Sazpaimon> well that did it
[10:18] <Sazpaimon> thanks
[10:18] <tamacracker> LOL freezing a failing hard drive works.
[10:18] <nothlit> ardchoille42, then the metapackage is out of date? ^.-
[10:18] <ardchoille42> nothlit, Seems to be, yeah
[10:19] <soundray> Note that the -27- is a subversion number assigned by ubuntu, while the 25 in 2.6.15.25 sounds like it has been assigned by kernel maintainers.
[10:20] <richard_> Howdy folks :D
[10:20] <ZeiP> My Ubuntu server fails to boot when executing nss_ldap. How can I prevent it from trying to find an LDAP server?
[10:20] <soundray> !hi
[10:20] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:20] <hagabaka> is there a tool for installing a ruby gem as a deb package?
[10:21] <richard_> When trying to connect to an ssh server, does the client need to open/forward any ports?
[10:21] <richard_> And does anyone know of an alternative to Putty?
[10:22] <rhainur> hm
[10:22] <rhainur> quick question
[10:22] <richard_> !shoot
[10:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shoot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:22] <TheSkorm> rhainur you have 5 seconds
[10:22] <richard_> hah
[10:22] <rhainur> is there any music player for ubuntu that can play wmv files out of the box?
[10:22] <TheSkorm> my guess answer is : no.
[10:22] <richard_> What about VLC?
[10:22] <nothlit> richard_, cygwin ssh.exe
[10:22] <rhainur> hm
[10:22] <rhainur> okay
[10:23] <TheSkorm> putty
[10:23] <TheSkorm> putty is awsome
[10:23] <TheSkorm> and no, the client doesn't need to open ports
[10:23] <richard_> K...
[10:23] <nothlit> PuTTY for windows is awesome, I don't see much point in the linux version (yes it handles multiple protocols, but all the other ones are old and unsafe)
[10:24] <richard_> I can't seem to connect to my own server with my laptop (behind a router and firewall) but on my other pc (open and unsfae) can connect without any troubles
[10:24] <richard_> Must be some settings in putty
[10:24] <richard_> (which is strange since I've not really changed anything
[10:24] <TheSkorm> whyd you say cygwin and putty.exe?
[10:24] <cristina> J
[10:24] <nothlit> TheSkorm, who?
[10:24] <TheSkorm> im lost
[10:25] <cpk1> rhainur: if you get the codecs I would assume most any player you have should be able to handle wmv's
[10:25] <fn1> I have installed all the recommended gstreamer plugins but still can't preview sounds and videos, even though totem can play them. Does anyone have an idea ?
[10:25] <SamArthurAllen> lol
[10:25] <nothlit> I said cygwin's ssh.exe is an alternative to PuTTY
[10:25] <TheSkorm> anyway, who wants to help me with my problem
[10:25] <TheSkorm> ?
[10:25] <nothlit> fn1, killall nautilus
[10:25] <fn1> nothlit: That's the first thing I did.
[10:26] <nothlit> fn1, hmm... dbus? is the gconf entry malformed? totem-video-thumbnailer?
[10:26] <nothlit> fn1, have you tried totem-xine?
[10:26] <fn1> nothlit: The installed plugins were gstreamer-plugins-bad/ugly/good and the multiverse versions.
[10:26] <fn1> nothlit: No.
[10:26] <nothlit> fn1, you also need ffmpeg and pittfdll
[10:26] <TheSkorm> should i get a 6600 nvidia or save up for something other nvida card that costs around $360, sometihng like a 7700 or something or start saving for a apple notebook
[10:27] <fn1> nothlit: But that should play mp3 files anyway.
[10:27] <factorx> Does anybody know how I can start gnome screensaver in a shell script?
[10:27] <fn1> nothlit: pittfdll, I'll do a search, please wait.
[10:27] <nothlit> fn1, i've never had any luck with live audio previews, just video thumbnails
[10:28] <fn1> nothlit: It's pretty strange that ffmeg wouldn't make sound preview works, but mpg321 does.
[10:28] <factorx> gnome-screensaver on commandline does not work because the screensaver seems to be active for this session (it is obviously not, but STDERR says so)
[10:28] <cpk1> ffmpeg can be used has a player? hah
[10:28] <nothlit> fn1, oh really?
[10:28] <cpk1> i've only used it for transcoding didnt know it played hehe
[10:28] <nothlit> yeah gstreamer uses ffmpeg
[10:29] <soundray> factorx: it being active for this session means that it's waiting for your machine to become idle to start a screensaver display.
[10:29] <fn1> cpk1: No, I mean installing it doesn't make GNOME shows a preview of it.
[10:30] <factorx> soundray, yes I just recognized that there is a process for gnome-screensaver. But can I turn it on with a commandline call?
[10:31] <fn1> nothlit: It worked in my previous installation on Dapper though, there have been a few months, I followed the same guide on UbuntuGuide, wondering if there's been a regression.
[10:31] <nothlit> !codecs | fn1
[10:31] <soundray> factorx: don't  know off the top of my head, but here's a great resource: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html
[10:31] <ubotu> fn1: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:32] <nothlit> fn1, just follow that
[10:32] <rhainur> so how do I play wmv files under ubuntu?
[10:32] <factorx> soundray, thanks
[10:32] <amorphous_> Good Morning!!! Does anyone know how I can write a script & have an Icon specifically for that script for on my desktop?
[10:33] <nothlit> !w32codecs | rhainur
[10:33] <ubotu> rhainur: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[10:33] <amorphous_> Just a pointer in the right direction would be helpful, but I'm a bit low on ideas... :/
[10:33] <nothlit> amorphous_, make a script, make it executable, then right click on the desktop and follow your intuition
[10:33] <SamArthurAllen> rhainur: use: wget http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb
[10:33] <soundray> amorphous_: create a New Launcher on the desktop and enter the name of your script. Click on the "No Icon" button to assign an icon.
[10:34] <rhainur> hilarious
[10:34] <SamArthurAllen> works for me all the time, even on WMV 9 which doesn't quite work on VLC
[10:34] <RudyValencia> hello, just thought I'd let you all know I've decided to run Ubuntu as my primary OS on my desktop.
[10:34] <rhainur> my googling just pointed me to a page that said the exact same thing
[10:34] <rhainur> like 3 seconds before I read it here
[10:34] <rhainur> xD
[10:34] <fn1> rhainur: Installing gstreamer is pretty hairy IMO, if you don't mind lack of GNOME integration, consider using mplayer, better use the latest SVN version.
[10:34] <amorphous_> Haha.... it's that Right Click Baby, eh???
[10:34] <kiwinz_sucks> congrats, Rudy
[10:34] <thirdalbum> Congratulations, Rudy
[10:35] <RudyValencia> I'm still gonna run Windows though in a VM, because I can't do without my multimedia tools
[10:35] <SamArthurAllen> lmfao... funny
[10:35] <soundray> rhainur: always search google first, then require other people's help
[10:35] <amorphous_> Thank you gents. nothlit soundray  - I'm grinnin' like  a cheshire cat. ;)
[10:35] <RudyValencia> But, I'm ready to change over when alternatives become feasible.
[10:35] <concept10> anyone know what gstreamer plug in plays m4a?
[10:36] <rhainur> mplayer, you say?
[10:36] <kiwinz_sucks> vlc is better than mplayer by a long shot
[10:36] <rhainur> because now rhythmbox tells me a problem occured "without an error being set"
[10:36] <rhainur> I would prefer something with playlist capabilities
[10:36] <kiwinz_sucks> vlc has a playlist
[10:36] <rhainur> does vlc offer this now?
[10:36] <nothlit> RudyValencia, if its sound, look into ubuntu studio, if its video, look into kino and cinerrela, if its art or 3d, cry like a little baby
[10:36] <cpk1> I like amarok for music
[10:36] <rhainur> I mostly use it just to watch movies and such on my windows box
[10:36] <nothlit> RudyValencia, oh, or look into inkscape i suppose
[10:36] <ndlovu> any suggestions how to find the device path of a USB device? I can see it in lsusb, but I need to address it as /dev/???
[10:37] <cpk1> rhainur: i think beep might do audio and media
[10:37] <RudyValencia> Inkscape needs a little more polish.
[10:37] <RudyValencia> I plan to use amarok as a Winamp replacement.
[10:37] <kiwinz_sucks> beep is no longer being developed, i suggest a more current solution
[10:37] <kiwinz_sucks> listen is a great gnome amarok alternative
[10:37] <ndlovu> The device is recognised in lsusb as "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500"
[10:37] <RudyValencia> OK
[10:37] <rhainur> getting vlc now
[10:37] <cpk1> kiwinz_sucks: beep is being developed they are changing the name
[10:37] <rhainur> >_>
[10:37] <soundray> ndlovu: "lsusb" just shows what is connected, not whether a driver is loaded for it. What kind of device?
[10:37] <concept10> exaile for music
[10:37] <thirdalbum> Exaile is also pretty good
[10:38] <ndlovu> soundray, it's a ups
[10:38] <nothlit> exaile is so slow in modal switching
[10:38] <RudyValencia> I'm gonna look at all the available choices for stuff.
[10:38] <concept10> I just got VSTs running on exaile
[10:38] <cpk1> ndlovu: try sd* (sdb1 sdc1 or somesuch)
[10:38] <ndlovu> cpk1, how would I know which one?
[10:38] <RudyValencia> I'll eventually get rid of XP when feasible alternative apps exist.
[10:38] <kiwinz_sucks> bmpx is actually a different player
[10:38] <concept10> check this screenshot: http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4xt4.png
[10:38] <soundray> ndlovu: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and note any messages as you plug the usb in
[10:38] <rhainur> awesome
[10:38] <rhainur> vlc works
[10:38] <rhainur> thank you kindly, friends
[10:38] <cpk1> ndlovu: try /dev/sda1
[10:38] <concept10> I have the best EQ on linux\
[10:38] <soundray> ndlovu: s/usb/ups/
[10:39] <ndlovu> soundray: it does say which driver was loaded... lemme check...
[10:39] <thirdalbum> Rudy, if you don't mind learning a simple programming language, I recommend you learn Python so you can write good graphical frontends for the more difficult-to-use programs
[10:39] <brainly-green> hey in the documentation for vnc it says to use vncserver to start a server
[10:39] <soundray> cpk1: you know what kind of device he's connecting?
[10:39] <RudyValencia> Sure.
[10:39] <nothlit> concept10, your gtk looks like qt
[10:39] <RudyValencia> I probably would even code my own stuff eventually
[10:39] <Sazpaimon> okay, I got X working again
[10:39] <brainly-green> HOWEVER I do not have a vncserver, when I do sudo locate vnc I only see vncviewer and vncpasswd
[10:39] <cpk1> i was assuming a usb stick or hdd =X
[10:39] <RudyValencia> and contribute it to opensource for refinement.
[10:39] <Sazpaimon> now how in the hell do I add windows to my grub list?
[10:39] <nothlit> brainly-green, install it from the repos
[10:40] <concept10> nothlit, thats because im running a qt app
[10:40] <nothlit> brainly-green, otherwise theres the highly undocumented vino-server, in System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[10:40] <brainly-green> nothlit: I only see one package available under vnc and that's vnc-common
[10:40] <soundray> brainly-green: if you want to share your current desktop, use vino-preferences (System-Preferences-Remote Desktop)
[10:40] <brainly-green> and I have that
[10:40] <ndlovu> soundray, does this answer any questions? "hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Devic
[10:40] <cpk1> ndlovu: soundray has a point, what are you trying to connect
[10:40] <ndlovu> e [American Power Conversion Back-UPS RS 1500 FW:8.g9 .I USB FW:g9]  on usb-0000:

[10:40] <nothlit> !repos | brainly-green
[10:40] <ubotu> brainly-green: 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
[10:40] <brainly-green> and in the documentation for vnc-common it says there should be a file vncserver--so how do I fill the gap
[10:40] <RudyValencia> hm, how does font installation and removal work in Linux?
[10:41] <soundray> ndlovu: it's a pointer...
[10:41] <nothlit> brainly-green, they are talking about you installing a  vncserver
[10:41] <soundray> !fonts | RudyValencia
[10:41] <ubotu> RudyValencia: 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
[10:41] <ndlovu> soundray, "registered new driver usbhid"
[10:42] <ndlovu> says it loaded successfully
[10:42] <RudyValencia> hm, ok
[10:42] <soundray> ndlovu: it's probably one of the devices in /dev/input/
[10:42] <rhainur> hm
[10:43] <soundray> ndlovu: try 'ls -lrt /dev/input' to see which was most recently created
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> is there any way to make the wxwidgets slider jump to where you click, or is that behavior fixed?
[10:43] <YokoZar> How do I set up my monitor in Edgy?  I'm stuck at low resolution and xorg.conf just shows it as generic
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> YokoZar--i can get it working for you
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> do you have your monitor's manual?
[10:43] <Dandre> Where should I get help on vnc under unbuntu?
[10:43] <YokoZar> kiwinz_sucks: I can do even better, I have the xorg.conf from a working dapper installation with it
[10:43] <Iphigenia>  Hi! Does anybody know if I can type Ancient Greek using Abiword?
[10:43] <ndlovu> soundray, all at the same time, the last system startup - before plugging in the UPS
[10:44] <nothlit> Dandre, are you talking about real vnc help? or Gnome VNC
[10:44] <YokoZar> It's a Compaq V1000
[10:44] <kiwinz_sucks> YokoZar, you just need basically two items from that xorg.conf file
[10:44] <kiwinz_sucks> HorizSync and VertRefresh are the two values you need
[10:45] <Dandre> nothlit:  I am searching how to zoom out a vncclient session . I have a desktop of 1280*1027 and I want to remotely view a 1650*1150 session and I want to view all of it in window. I haven't found
[10:45] <YokoZar> kiwinz_sucks: ok, have them, then what do I do?
[10:45] <rhainur> so
[10:45] <JOY_> g
[10:45] <rhainur> what is this beryl/compiz I keep on hearing about?
[10:45] <nothlit> Dandre, you need to use a vnc viewer/client that supports zooming
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> just put those ranges into your current xorg.conf file, make sure your resolution is included in the default depth line, then restart x
[10:45] <soundray> ndlovu: there is a package to support USB-connected UPSs:
[10:45] <jhaig> rhainur: Fancy 3d graphics stuff.
[10:45] <soundray> !info nut-usb | ndlovu
[10:45] <ubotu> nut-usb: USB Drivers subsystem for the nut - Network UPS Tools. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.4-2 (edgy), package size 174 kB, installed size 412 kB
[10:45] <SoulChild> ANYONE using X-Chat-Gnome ???
[10:46] <ndlovu> soundray, hmm, tried "ls -lrt /dev/ | grep 10:" and got vcs7 and vcsa7 at about the right time
[10:46] <nothlit> Dandre, you can try the vnc4 and tightvnc clients, but i'm not sure if they have zooming or not
[10:46] <soundray> !info nut | ndlovu
[10:46] <ubotu> nut: The core system of the nut - Network UPS Tools. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.4-2 (edgy), package size 961 kB, installed size 2368 kB
[10:46] <Dandre> Do you know a vnc viewer/client that supports zooming for ubuntu?
[10:46] <TheSkorm> brb
[10:46] <rhainur> how fancy?
[10:46] <Sazpaimon> I'm also not getting any sound out of my ALC883
[10:46] <Sazpaimon> (Realtek)
[10:46] <kiwinz_sucks> rhainur, do a youtube serach for it
[10:46] <Sazpaimon> any ideas how to fix this?
[10:47] <kiwinz_sucks> i use beryl, and i'm never going without it again
[10:47] <ndlovu> soundray, I've installed apcupsd, which should be able to do more or less the same thing (I think)
[10:48] <jhaig> rhainur: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CgqWlX_GsI shows Novells demo of it.  I'm not sure how good this demo is, though, as I haven't watched it all the way through.
[10:48] <YokoZar> kiwinz_sucks: isn't there a program like dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I should run?  Or should I just manually edit the file?
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> just do it manually
[10:48] <ndlovu> soundray, ah. just found /dev/usb/hiddev0. will try that
[10:49] <soundray> ndlovu: it doesn't explicitly mention USB though. Check the docs in /usr/share/doc/apcupsd/
[10:49] <kiwinz_sucks> the reconfigure prompt sucks, imho
[10:49] <detectivebob> what do you call "/"?
[10:49] <kiwinz_sucks> root
[10:49] <detectivebob> root?
[10:49] <soundray> detectivebob: a slash?
[10:50] <RudyValencia> where are desktop icons.
[10:50] <YokoZar> detectivebob: call it "slash", as root implies something very different.  Depends on context
[10:50] <RudyValencia> *the desktop icons, like computer, user's home, trash...
[10:50] <detectivebob> if i am talking of the contex of "folderbefore /etc"
[10:50] <Dandre> nothlit: I have tried vnc4 and tightvnc with no success
[10:50] <rhainur> hm
[10:50] <RudyValencia> detectivebob: root.
[10:50] <rhainur> need the flash player
[10:50] <soundray> detectivebob: that's the root folder
[10:50] <rhainur> so what's the best way to get flash working on ubuntu?
[10:50] <Sazpaimon> Anyone have any clue how to get my Realtek ALC883 working at all?
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> rhainur, do you use google at all?
[10:51] <RudyValencia> where's the desktop icons I am used to in fedora (home, computer, trash, etc.)
[10:51] <rhainur> because I downloaded the flashplayer-mozilla thing
[10:51] <RudyValencia> Sazpaimon: try http://www.realtek.com.tw/
[10:51] <detectivebob> ty
[10:51] <SoulChild> can someone write me anything, want to see if its hightlighted
[10:51] <rhainur> and it had absolutely no effect
[10:51] <jhaig> SoulChild: No
[10:51] <soundray> SoulChild: sorry, that's impossible
[10:51] <jhaig> SoulChild: :-)
[10:51] <Sazpaimon> since when do they have linux drivers
[10:51] <SoulChild> jhaig: thanks works
[10:51] <nothlit> Dandre, well you can run the UltraVNC client in wine then
[10:51] <nothlit> Dandre, that will work with zooming
[10:52] <persen> What command can i use for showing an smb share? Like showing the folders a computer exposes
[10:53] <Sazpaimon> RudyValencia, no luck
[10:53] <Dandre> Ok nothlit, I was looking for a native solution
[10:53] <Sazpaimon> this is a sound chip btw
[10:53] <poningru> hey can someone help me compile a module?
[10:53] <soundray> Sazpaimon: go check it out. Realtek are not bad at supporting Linux
[10:53] <Sazpaimon> I searched their site
[10:53] <Sazpaimon> I didnt see drivers for ALC883
[10:53] <YokoZar> kiwinz_sucks: ok thank you kindly I'm gonna restart X now to see if it works.
[10:53] <kiwinz_sucks> goodl uck
[10:54] <nothlit> Dandre, yeah, but there aren't any more vnc clients i don't think
[10:54] <nothlit> Dandre, oh, the nomachine client supports vnc... but it might just use vncviewer as a backend

[10:55] <IRCMonkey5> anybody have problems connecting to yahoo with ubuntu with firefox browser?
[10:55] <rhainur> oh man
[10:55] <rhainur> beryl is such a waste of a graphics card
[10:55] <rhainur> xD
[10:55] <brainly-green> no IRCMonkey5 I just tried it, no trouble
[10:56] <persen> What command can i use to display info for an smb server?
[10:56] <IRCMonkey5> thanks brainly-green
[10:57] <poningru> persen: what do you mean display?
[10:57] <persen> Showing the folders it exposes etc..
[10:57] <poningru> eh?
[10:57] <poningru> persen: explain some more
[10:58] <poningru> what do you mean it exposes? through a network?
[10:58] <IRCMonkey5> brainly-green: do you have resolve.conf set to your isp ip address? maybe this is my problem with not connecting to yahoo
[10:58] <soundray> persen: smbclient
[10:58] <poningru> oh samba
[10:58] <poningru> ...
[10:58] <persen> so i can display what smb folders is available at, //thiscomp for example
[10:58] <persen> having problems mouting it and want to check the name is correct
[10:58] <TheSkorm> brainly-green i gather you got your wlan working
[10:58] <brainly-green> I don't have a resolve.conf
[10:58] <poningru> !samba | persen
[10:58] <brainly-green> yeah I did TheSkorm
[10:58] <ubotu> persen: 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
[10:59] <brainly-green> in the end I just reconfigured that router to use WEP i nstead of WPA
[11:00] <soundray> persen: man smbclient, look for the -L option
[11:01] <soundray> persen: you don't need samba for what you want to do.
[11:01] <dromer> hi, I'm tring to run firefox over putty (and xming), but I'm getting a notice that it's allready running. How can I turn it off? (I can't find it anywhere in top)
[11:01] <persen> soundray: thanks, yes i dont need an samba server no
[11:01] <soundray> dromer: 'killall firefox-bin'
[11:02] <dromer> thank you soundray !
[11:02] <dromer> now Ican finally experience the magic of X-forwarding :] 
[11:03] <persen> Problem is when i, mount -t smbfs //comp/mp3 /media/mp3 -o username=steve,password=smith i get: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //comp/mp3, missing codepage or other error" But it works to browse the smb share via nautilus
[11:04] <tamacracker> Hm...
[11:04] <Sazpaimon> okay, next issue
[11:04] <soundray> dromer: consider ssh -C for speed
[11:04] <Sazpaimon> how do I get Windows XP to show up in GRUB
[11:04] <Sazpaimon> i need to get in it to re-enable acronis OS selector
[11:05] <tamacracker> Jucato... would you know why a hard drive doesn't start up, but it gets really hot?
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> doesn't anyone in this channel use Google?
[11:05] <persen> Sazpaimon: Have you installed XP after Linux?
[11:05] <brainly-green> ok I'm getting a weird problem
[11:05] <Sazpaimon> no
[11:05] <Sazpaimon> before
[11:05] <nysosym> Hi all i have a boot failure, "IBM Laptop detected, this module may corrupt your serial eeprom! Refusing to load modul!" The Laptop boots perfectly, but this message made me sad.
[11:05] <Sazpaimon> i just installed linux a few hours ago
[11:05] <brainly-green> I can connect to my WLAN with my computer running ubuntu fine, and then I can use the internet for a little while
[11:05] <Sazpaimon> it overwrote the MBR with grub, so now I need to boot into windows
[11:05] <ademan> is there a compatibility list about? i want to know if this new motherboard is gonna be ok
[11:05] <brainly-green> but then the connection breaks
[11:05] <brainly-green> on my macbook over here the connection never breaks and is at full signal strength
[11:06] <uguntuvbox> hi all
[11:06] <brainly-green> what might cause that?
[11:06] <hanso> hey. my sound modules cannot load now and I get an error saying snd_intel8x0: disagrees about version of symbol ... Anyone have a clue about what's wrong?
[11:06] <soundray> nysosym: don't worry about this message
[11:06] <brainly-green> the ubuntu computer is right next to the macbook, shouldn't be much difference in signal strength
[11:07] <nysosym> soundray: why? What does it mean?
[11:07] <lokip_93> hi
[11:07] <ott0> new ubuntu user-- I installed build essentials, when trying to compile a simple c++ program I get crazy messages..  command is gcc -o x test.cpp
[11:07] <lokip_93> I just did rm -fr on /home/username by mistake while root..........no backups...  partition type is EXT3 with full journal....Anything I can do to undelete???(in fat32 its relatively easy to undelete)
[11:07] <dromer> soundray: can you explain?
[11:07] <ademan> ott0: try gcc test.cpp -o x
[11:08] <ademan> gcc -lstdc++ test.cpp -o x        if that doesn't work
[11:08] <soundray> nysosym: some Thinkpads have a bug that results in havoc when you load that particular module. So it refuses to load. I used this once before that security mechanism was introduced and was lucky that IBM replaced my laptop mainboard
[11:08] <frogzoo_> lokip_93: on ext3 you're screwed
[11:08] <soundray> dromer: -C activates compression, which is useful for slow links. man ssh
[11:09] <dromer> soundray: but, I'm not sure how to use it ..
[11:09] <lokip_93> damnnnnnnnnnn
[11:09] <ott0> gcc -lstdc++ test.cpp -o x  worked
[11:09] <ott0> cool
[11:09] <soundray> dromer: ssh -XC remotehost firefox
[11:09] <dromer> soundray: I'm on a 100mbit network now anyway so I don't reallt need it (it's fast enough for me)
[11:09] <ott0> is that getting some library or something
[11:09] <ademan> yeah, you have to link with the standard c++ library for cin/cout/string/whatever
[11:09] <nysosym> soundray: thx :)
[11:10] <ott0> thanks!
[11:10] <soundray> dromer: I see. I use X forwarding via DSL, compression is great for that.
[11:10] <ademan> np :-)
[11:10] <ademan> ott0: if you're used to an IDE like Dev-C++ or MSVC++ you might try out KDevelop or anjuta
[11:10] <dromer> soundray: ssh: remotehost: Name or service not known
[11:10] <ott0> will do
[11:10] <linopil> any cline script to debug sound ?
[11:10] <RudyValencia> ubotu

[11:10] <soundray> dromer: I thought it was obvious. You have to substitute remotehost with the actual name or IP of the remote host.

[11:11] <dromer> soundray: hehe, sorry :#
[11:11] <ademan> anyways, i'm going to sleep, gnight all
[11:11] <ott0> nizight
[11:11] <soundray> dromer: oh, you're on putty -- it's probably different then
[11:12] <dromer> soundray: yes, I thought so
[11:12] <dromer> soundray: ah well, it works fast enough for me :) (faster from my desktop than from my server anyway)

[11:15] <nothlit> dromer, use screen :P
[11:15] <dromer> nothlit: hehe, haven't mastered that yet :P
[11:15] <dromer> I only use it for irssi ;)
[11:16] <nothlit> well you can always do x forwarding (xming is nice) and launch a tabbed x terminal
[11:16] <ForgeAus> X forwarding? wow
[11:16] <ForgeAus> is there vnc for windows?
[11:16] <DarthLappy> ForgeAus: Yes.
[11:17] <dromer> nothlit: I _am_ doing X-forwarding atm
[11:17] <nothlit> dromer, launch a tabbed x terminal and launch your apps from that :P
[11:17] <dromer> vnc is waaay slower isn't it ?
[11:17] <nothlit> or use application &
[11:17] <soundray> dromer: you could also call a script on the remote host that opens all the applications you need: 'firefox & oowriter & vlc'
[11:17] <dromer> hmmm, what terminalprogram do I use on my desktop again ..
[11:18] <dromer> nothlit: good one !
[11:18] <max18> the intel pro/set wifi driver is slowing my boot time by up to a full minute... i have concluded this by running 20 boot trials, half with my wireless card disabled in bios..... it never used to be like this.... is there anything i can do to speed it up?
[11:18] <nothlit> bash has jobs management built in
[11:18] <dromer> yeah I should reall get to read on bash, I'm so ultimately noob with it :/
[11:18] <dromer> but application & works good for me, ust what I was looking for :)
[11:19] <detectivebob> lol fuck
[11:20] <nothlit> dromer, basically you can use bg and fg (background and foreground), and jobs and &
[11:20] <dromer> :#
[11:20] <nothlit> dromer, you'll figure it out, just use bg to resume apps you paused with ctrl+z
[11:20] <soundray> max18: is it maybe taking so long to get an IP through DHCP?
[11:20] <dromer> I hate these pc's where I can use only IE :@
[11:20] <nothlit> dromer, ctrl+z + bg # is what you use if you forgot to use &
[11:21] <dromer> ah .. hmm
[11:21] <soundray> max18: for that kind of experiment, it helps to get rid of "quiet splash" from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:21] <max18> soundray, sounds possible.... because before i had no encryption on my wifi it would boot up fast... now with wpa2 it takes ages
[11:21] <dromer> nothlit: I should really get to this test ;) ttyl
[11:21] <dromer> and thnx for helping all!
[11:21] <denardo> Hi, all. Thunderbird crashed on me. When I try to restart it, it tells me that a copy is still running that I have to kill, but "ps -edalf | grep thunderbird" shows nothing but the grep itself. Any clues?
[11:21] <max18> soundray, ok so do u know how to stop it searching for a dhcp server?
[11:21] <linopil>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3432/ is that ok  to play sound ? now reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

[11:22] <nothlit> denardo, or killall thunderbird-bin ,not sure
[11:22] <soundray> max18: if that is so, remove 'auto wlan0' (or whatever your interface name is) from /etc/network/interfaces and bring the interface up as a background job from /etc/rc.local
[11:23] <denardo> nothlit: nope, both get "no process killed"
[11:24] <jhaig> denardo: See if there is a file called ~/.thunderbird/*.default/lock
[11:24] <max18> soundray, removing from /etc/network/interfaces shouldn't be a problem.... what do i put in /etc/rc.local?
[11:24] <jhaig> denardo: And ~/.thunderbird/*.default/.parentlock
[11:24] <soundray> max18: 'ifup wlan0 &'
[11:24] <jhaig> denardo: If these files exist, delete them and try again.
[11:24] <cpk1> denardo: open a terminal and do "ps aux" and see if you see a sneaky thunderbird name in there
[11:25] <denardo> jhaig: nope, neither exists.
[11:25] <nothlit> shouldn't thunderbird be more verbose about lock files?
[11:25] <Orig1nal`Jesus> hello guys ! can I ask you something ?
[11:25] <soundray> denardo: perhaps your lock files are under $HOME/.mozilla
[11:25] <max18> soundray: ok thanks m8... first i'll disable the wpa2 and see if this really is the problem
[11:25] <jhaig> denardo: They may be somewhere different on Ubuntu.  I'm on SuSE at the moment.  Try in ~/.mozilla
[11:25] <soundray> Orig1nal`Jesus: you already have
[11:26] <Orig1nal`Jesus> I can't install ubuntu with a motherboard Intel DP965LT

[11:29] <soundray> Orig1nal`Jesus: I doubt that the error you see is really the point of failure. You should try the noapic and nolapic boot options
[11:29] <cool-freak> got a big problem here, i always leave my ubuntu on during the night so azureus can download a lot of filme.But every single day,in the morning,ubuntu is returning from a restart and asking for a usename.and im not using username no more :S anyone can help?oh yeah,its has nothing to do with the power management,i think.

[11:30] <eternalswd> where is the default.theme for x11 cursors on ubuntu?  I'm trying to follow the guide at http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/04/24/beautiful-x11-cursors/ but none of the defaults are there
[11:30] <hagabaka> why does aptitude see packages i manually installed with apt-get as automatically installed?
[11:30] <denardo> Hmm. I've got my firefox and thunderbird set up to have their stuff on another partition, since I access them from both Windoze and Ubuntu. I wonder if that's gone awry.
[11:30] <Orig1nal`Jesus> thanks guys
[11:31] <soundray> cool-freak: look in /var/log/syslog to see what made it reboot
[11:31] <Orig1nal`Jesus> i will try it and i will comme back tomorow
[11:31] <denardo> Ah, and I now see the lock file.
[11:31] <cpk1> hagabaka: huh? aptitude and apt-get use the same backend
[11:31] <nothlit> hagabaka, because apt-get hasn't done any aptitude database marking
[11:32] <hagabaka> well, they're showing different sets of automatically installed packages
[11:32] <hagabaka> hmm
[11:32] <nothlit> with aptitude, you need to use it all the time
[11:32] <hagabaka> does that mean i shouldn't use both of them?
[11:32] <linopil> \o pls help with sound
[11:32] <hagabaka> oh
[11:32] <linopil> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3434/
[11:32] <nothlit> definitely not, and i wouldn't see why you would
[11:32] <denardo> ... and I see that it's mounted as a read-only file system.
[11:32] <eternalswd> denardo, what fs?
[11:33] <hagabaka> i used to use apt-get exclusively, but i like some of aptitude's features
[11:33] <soundray> linopil: the module name is snd-hda-intel
[11:33] <linopil> soundray:  right
[11:33] <denardo> eternalswd: the /etc/fstab entry for it says "/dev/hda4       /share     vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0       0"
[11:34] <hagabaka> so is "automatically installed" not supported by APT, but only added features of aptitude and apt-get?

[11:41] <eternalswd> denardo, "sudo mount /dev/hda4 /shar -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000" should mount it

[11:43] <ndlovu> what command can I use to see if a certain process (daemon) is active?
[11:43] <eternalswd> ndlovu, which process?
[11:44] <ndlovu> eternalswd, apcupsd
[11:44] <ndlovu> top doesn't show the complete list
[11:45] <denardo> eternalswd: Should I change my /etc/fstab, or tweak something else?
[11:45] <ndlovu> actually I found that using the '>' key I could find it, but it still seems a little random...
[11:45] <eternalswd> ndlovu, try "ps aux | grep apcupsd"
[11:46] <ndlovu> eternalswd, thanks, I'll try to remember that in the future

[11:48] <soundray> citybird: without having read it, http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_antispam_mailscanner_clamav_ubuntu seems to be relevant
[11:49] <eternalswd> denardo, yeah, you should be able to use a line like "/dev/hda4       /share     vfat    iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0       0" instead of the one you have

[11:53] <eternalswd> tamacracker, try #gaim
[11:53] <brainly-green> the file is called /etc/init.d/xinitd
[11:53] <Eon_> soundray: : thanks, but i found the problem. I had to disable composite extentions or something in Xorg.conf.  I tried that yesterday as well, but it didnt work for some reason but when i tried again now it worked. (guess there was something wrong with the syntax last night)

[11:55] <brainly-green> maybe a corrupted hard drive?  I noticed recently that something told me there was a miscount of the number of hard links

[11:57] <jahid> hi, i am trying to install ubuntu in a desktop PC. i selected "/" and "swap". then i pressed the "Forward" button. but i get one message like "No root file system". can anyone help me about this?
[11:57] <eternalswd> brainly-green, probably because of the folder init.d.  I always think xinitd because of that ;)
[11:57] <cool-freak> what does it mean "mark" on the log?
[11:58] <soundray> cool-freak: that syslogd was still alive at this point in time
[11:58] <ForgeAus> ahh fixed..
[11:58] <ForgeAus> now if only I can fix my ubuntu too
[11:58] <eternalswd> what's wrong with your ubuntu?
[11:59] <ForgeAus> it gets 75% through the startup bar and then freezes
[11:59] <Eon_> soundray: hehe, that "fix" didnt get me far... i need Direct Rendering: Yes to install Beryl, but when trying to start beryl after instalation i get an error saying "missing composite extentions"
[11:59] <dave__> got kicked out, does anybody have insight into evms and ubuntu? I'm really stuck here ...

[11:59] <eternalswd> ForgeAus, edgy I take it?
[11:59] <ForgeAus> no error... but I think I "cleaned up" (as in autoremoved) ubuntu-minimal (which at the time I didn't realize how important it was
[11:59] <cool-freak> and then it shutdown
[11:59] <ForgeAus> yes edgy
[12:00] <ytripppy> mmm quick question, how do i fix a OS freezing on boot after the message "real time clock driver"
[12:00] <soundray> Eon_: dang... What's your card?
[12:00] <ForgeAus> what I've done was managed to copy some stuff from the LiveCD I'm using now it helped but still not quite fixed...
[12:00] <eternalswd> ForgeAus, have you tried booting safe?
[12:00] <ForgeAus> I can get into the recovery console but no networking in there
[12:00] <denard1> eternalswd: Hm. Changing folders in Thunderbird froze it. I killed the UI, and got the same problem restarting it. And trying to rm the lockfile tells me that /share is again read-only.
[12:01] <Eon_> soundray: x1900xtx
[12:01] <ForgeAus> eternal yes but I don't really know what to do from there
[12:01] <soundray> Eon_: sounds recent enough
[12:01] <ForgeAus> I can't use aptitude to reinstall ubuntu-minimal from inside it

[12:05] <eternalswd> ForgeAus, next time you load safe, try the startx command after logging in.  It'll try to start and produce an error log where things go wrong that you can look at to help diagnose the problem.  You should also take a look into how to initialize wireless network via commandline
[12:05] <ForgeAus> um ok I'll try startx and come back let you know what it does
[12:06] <eternalswd> denard1, what's the permissions via "ls -l /share/users/jzitt/Thunderbird/Profiles/ | grep n3wp70kj"

[12:14] <arunagiri> hi all
[12:15] <beginner> is it?
[12:15] <Davo_Dinkum> Is it possible to make your background change at a set time? Like every 24 hours?
[12:15] <ForgeAus> eternal you still there?
[12:15] <lskd-255> beginner, for one instance, there are 2.4 and 2.6 python-wxgtk
[12:16] <beginner> lskd-255, the problem is aptitude seems to install it to python24 instead of python2.5
[12:16] <beginner> *python2.4
[12:16] <ForgeAus> beginner I had a simimlar issue with urlgrabber
[12:16] <ForgeAus> it tends to depend on what version you get...
[12:17] <ForgeAus> and python tends to be picky about what version it runs on :(...
[12:17] <ForgeAus> but you might be ok if you manually convert it over (just copy it and tell it if theres anything in the script to go to python 2.5 instead)
[12:17] <ForgeAus> they're mostly compatible
[12:18] <Davo_Dinkum> Is it possible to make your background change at a set time? Like every 24 hours? Anyone?
[12:18] <beginner> ForgeAus, I am afraid that it will break something..
[12:19] <soundray> Davo_Dinkum: in gnome?
[12:19] <Davo_Dinkum> soundray: Yes.
[12:19] <ForgeAus> beginner I doubt it'd BREAK something
[12:19] <brainly-green> it said it can't open display
[12:19] <brainly-green> hey is it a problem if I have a lot of programs open on the vnc server, or what
[12:19] <ForgeAus> but if your copying the SCRIPT itself (ie the .py files
[12:19] <brainly-green> is that normal
[12:20] <ForgeAus> it can only complain that it won't run or give you a compilation error of some sort
[12:20] <ForgeAus> if there's binaries I don't think you have a choice you pretty much have to be stuck with 2.4
[12:21] <lskd-255> beginner, all I can suggest is using synaptic and loading something found using wxpython in search.
[12:22] <ForgeAus> yeah packages that require it will probably work
[12:22] <ForgeAus> as long as they don't require python 2.5 also (which is unlikely)
[12:22] <brainly-green> also I can't open anything from the "preferences" menu--it gives me a gray window box that does not respond and has no widgets on it, and I have to manually close it
[12:23] <Jedrick> how can i view webcam on gaim?
[12:23] <brainly-green> not related to vnc, just off topic
[12:23] <IntuitiveNipple> Jedrick: as far as I recall, gaim doesn't support cams
[12:23] <denard1> Grr... I can't function with broken email. If I can't figure out a way around this read-only issue (or whatever is disguising itself with it), I'll have to boot into Windoze to get any work done.

[12:25] <frogzoo> anyone had a problem with amarok crashing while recreating the collection?
[12:30] <kentismaximus> i need help with setting up a usb isdn modem, can anyone help me?
[12:30] <denard1> OK, so a web page suggested that there was a problem mounting the partition, and that I should fsck it. fsck found some problems. I indicated at the prompt that it should fix them, but it exited saying that the filesystem was unchanged. And trying to change folders in Thunderbird after that still hangs. Is there a way to actually get this to work?
[12:32] <ForgeAus> um man fsck perhaps?
[12:32] <soundray> denard1: call fsck with -y to force the fixes
[12:32] <tamacracker> wtf shouldn't this theme install: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=51008
[12:32] <ForgeAus> or maybe you need to run it as root (so sudo fsck)?
[12:32] <tamacracker> on my ubuntu box
[12:32] <ForgeAus> or perhaps its mounted readonly .. you might need to mount it as read-write
[12:33] <tamacracker> br
[12:33] <tamacracker> b
[12:34] <soundray> denard1: btw, fsck should be run from recovery mode or, better yet, a live CD
[12:34] <denard1> Ah, so the interface to fsck is misleading. Damned if I know why someone would design a program to ask if you wanted to do changes and then ignore your response *sigh*
[12:35] <lskd-255> kentismaximus, as close as I can come to that is I am using a broadband modem that has the standard cat5 out to a usb linksys plug accessory
[12:36] <denard1> Ah, OK, doing it with the fsck -y seems to have solved the problem.
[12:37] <kentismaximus> lskd, its pretty difficult, because i dont know what to do, but the kernel has (im pretty sure) the necessary (CAPI) drivers built-in... and output of lsusb: "Bus 001 Device 002: ... AVM GmbH ISDN-Connecor TA", so its there, but how do i talk to it, what /dev/tty? is it?

[12:43] <TheSkorm> that would be python error
[12:43] <ardchoille42> silent_scream, You mean rip a DVD movie and put the subtitles into the .avi with the movie?
[12:43] <hazem> i think so
[12:44] <hazem> thats why am looking for alternative cuz i duno any thing in python
[12:44] <TheSkorm> I can tell you what that python error means but that would achive nothing
[12:44] <ardchoille42> lol
[12:44] <silent_scream> ardchoille42,  well i have the movie ripped. alla ia need is a program that puts the subs into the avi
[12:44] <hazem> lol so do know any package i can use till i fix this problem ?
[12:45] <TheSkorm> you could try reinstalling it
[12:45] <hazem> or i should to do it by command line
[12:45] <hazem> i did
[12:45] <hazem> same error
[12:45] <TheSkorm> and make sure /etc/wifi-radar.conf is readable (chmod/chowner) and correct information inside
[12:46] <ardchoille42> silent_scream, Well, acidrip will rip a DVD movie and put the subtitles into the .avi file with the movie as long as you have the Subtitle drop down menu engaged in the "Other Stuff" section. But I don't know how to do it if you already have the movie ripped.
[12:46] <TheSkorm> thats all I can help you with though there may be others that have seen this error
[12:46] <TheSkorm> feel free to make a forum post too
[12:47] <silent_scream> ardchoille42,  is there a prog for win, so as to run it with wine?? (or try to...)

[12:49] <ardchoille42> jahid, The root account is diabled by default.
[12:49] <jahid> ardchoille42, how can i enable root account?
[12:50] <soundray> jahid: don't enable root, use 'sudo -i' and enter your user password
[12:50] <jahid> ubotu, if i know about sudo. but if i use sudo then which password i have to use?
[12:50] <ardchoille42> jahid, There's actually no need to log in as root. Enabling the root account is a security hole, IMHO, and is not supported configuration. I can't help you do that.
[12:50] <soundray> !root | jahid
[12:50] <ubotu> jahid: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:52] <ardchoille42> jahid, One of the good things about a disabled root account is if I wanted to break into your computer, I know you have a root account and I can sit there all day and try to brute force it. I can't do that if it's disabled.

[12:54] <jahid> i tried to use "su" but its not accepting my password. i am the only user of this computer. and when i was installing i just setup my account, since root is not active.
[12:54] <ardchoille42> jahid, Use sudo:  sudo command
[12:55] <soundray> jahid: do *not* use su. Use sudo
[12:55] <jahid> soundray, sudo is working. "su" wont work?
[12:55] <JdGordon> jahid: so sudo su then it will put you in root
[12:55] <soundray> jahid: please read the page that ubotu pointed you to
[12:55] <ardchoille42> jahid, You can't su to the root account if you don't have the password.
[12:55] <soundray> jahid: do not follow JdGordon's advice
[12:56] <soundray> JdGordon: sudo su is not recommended. Use sudo -i to get a root shell with a sane environment
[12:56] <jahid> soundray, i tried to open that page, but that is not opening.

[01:08] <persen> soundray: wrapper script? Can i still launch it via "an icon on my desktop" ?
[01:08] <cwillu> persen: yep, it just means writing the commands you'd normally use in a terminal into a file, and using that file to launch from the desktop
[01:08] <persen> ok
[01:09] <cwillu> persen: there's a magic line to put at the top of the file though, just look for any .sh file, it'll show you what to do

[01:09] <persen> What i want is to run ~/.bashrc first i guess.

[01:12] <valehru> I keep getting the message  Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? when I try and upgrade.  Nothing else is using apt, im positive of that...is there a way to remove these locks without rebooting the system?
[01:13] <cwillu> valehru: running it via sudo?
[01:13] <valehru> cwillu, ya
[01:13] <valehru> just doing sudo apt-get update
[01:14] <persen> devilsadvocate: How do i change the PATH permanently?
[01:14] <cwillu> valehru: and you checked ps aux for apt's and dpkg's?
[01:14] <Enquest> How can I do something like this cat -R * | grep enquest
[01:14] <soundray> Enquest: 'find . -print0 | xargs -0 grep enquest'
[01:15] <valehru> cwillu, hmm there is : root      8489  0.0  1.1  13856 11092 pts/0    T    19:50   0:01 apt-get install

[01:15] <cwillu> valehru: shared machine?  or maybe just doing an automatic update?
[01:16] <h3> i'm having problems installing ubuntu 6.10 from alt install cd to an old pII, it stalls after 'detecting hardware to find cd devices', any ideas?
[01:16] <valehru> cwillu, its not a shared machine....I was midway through an install but decided to change the source and pressed ctrl + z....anyway to kill them?
[01:16] <cwillu> h3: ide=nodma might get it working, you'll have to turn on dma for the hard drive after it installs though
[01:17] <sosna> ehhh doesn't work, resolution is 800x600....
[01:17] <sosna> a moze kto po polsku umie?
[01:17] <cwillu> valehru: probably best to fg it, then uninstall it after it finishes
[01:17] <tdn> I am trying to set up encrypted rootfs with LUKS. But I cannot boot. It says that no cryptfs is configured and then it waits for rootfs and I have to reboot...
[01:17] <econobeing> i just formatted some unallocated space on my HD to FAT32, will that automatically mount from now on when i turn on my computer?
[01:17] <valehru> cwillu, fg?
[01:17] <h3> cwillu, ok thanks ill give it a go
[01:17] <cwillu> ctrl+z  = stop, fg = continue in forground
[01:18] <cwillu> h3: hdparm will be the magic incantation to google if it works
[01:18] <econobeing> i guess i should try it out <_< brb
[01:18] <ardchoille42> Tomboy is pretty cool.. first time using it :)
[01:19] <cwillu> ardchoille42: I had this weird thing with it though, didn't handle large texts very well for me;  couldn't dup it after clearing everything out though
[01:19] <ardchoille42> I just watched a video of xgl/compiz. It's pretty nice but it should come with a bottle of dramamine, lol
[01:19] <cwillu> (large being 5-10 paragraphs)
[01:19] <cwillu> hh
[01:19] <devilsadvocate> persen, not sure, but i know that its possible
[01:20] <ardchoille42> cwillu, Really? I didn't think it had a limit.
[01:20] <cwillu> ardchoille42: as I said, I couldn't dup it after;  I must have just hit a corner case on how it handled text or something :p
[01:20] <ardchoille42> Unreproducable bug?
[01:20] <cwillu> ardchoille42: just got really really slow, like it was scanning the whole text each time I added a char
[01:21] <ardchoille42> Well, it's supposed to be for note taking, or so I guess.
[01:21] <cwillu> ardchoille42: I just settled for running a moinmoin wiki on my machine :p
[01:21] <cwillu> nothing like being able to put sketches right on the page
[01:21] <ardchoille42> cwillu, You should be using scribus if you want to write a book, lol
[01:21] <cwillu> ardchoille42: 10 paragraphs != book :p
[01:21] <ardchoille42> moinmoin is cool
[01:22] <cwillu> that's what my stack of paper is for
[01:22] <ardchoille42> hehe
[01:22] <cwillu> sweet, repo's done copying
[01:24] <persen> my god, third time today that ubuntu freezes
[01:24] <joaquin_> Hello
[01:24] <econobeing> hmm, it didn't do it automatically
[01:25] <econobeing> so, how can i add a command to run at startup?
[01:25] <persen> When everything freezes, is there a keyboard-combo i can do to get out of X ?
[01:25] <econobeing> i need to add "sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/hda2"
[01:25] <joaquin_> wat is the chanel in spanish?
[01:25] <cwillu> econobeing: man fstab
[01:26] <persen> econobeing: add it to fstab
[01:26] <cwillu> !fstab
[01:26] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[01:26] <persen> !glx
[01:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:26] <econobeing> ah, thanks
[01:26] <cwillu> persen: what are you looking for?
[01:26] <persen> the new "snappy" desktop stuff
[01:26] <persen> 3d
[01:26] <cwillu> !aiglx
[01:26] <ubotu> AIGLX (Accelerated Indirect GLX) is an open source project founded by the X.Org Foundation and the Fedora Core Linux community to allow accelerated indirect GLX rendering capabilities to X.org and DRI drivers. This allows remote X clients to get fully hardware accelerated rendering over the GLX protocol. Head to #ubuntu-xgl for support.
[01:27] <cwillu> persen: what type of freezes are you hitting?
[01:27] <cwillu> compiz related?
[01:28] <persen> think so, but another question, have other people here experienced "freeze" of the system?
[01:28] <cwillu> ctrl+alt+backspace is the usual x-server killer, ctrl+alt+f1 will also get you to a terminal (ca+f7 to get back)
[01:28] <persen> yep, but none of them worked.
[01:28] <persen> Had to reset the box.
[01:28] <cwillu> persen: hardlock?  does the mouse still move?
[01:28] <cwillu> what vidcard, driver?
[01:29] <persen> cwillu: mouse moves, mp3 plays, but all keyboard combos didnt do anything.
[01:29] <cwillu> persen: do you have another machine handy?
[01:30] <cwillu> persen: first place to look would be in /var/log/xorg.log, dmesg, etc, for anything suspicious
[01:30] <persen> cwillu: i have other machines yes, how so ?
[01:30] <cwillu> how long had the machine been running before it froze?
[01:30] <cwillu> persen: when it freezes, it's handy to know whether you can still ping it, and ssh it
[01:31] <persen> cwillu: Just got this machine yesterday (some old server i think, xp2200+, via kt266, 1gb ram)
[01:31] <cwillu> persen: it isn't an ibm is it?
[01:31] <persen> Maybe its an unstable piece of shit.
[01:31] <persen> cwillu: no, manually built.
[01:32] <cwillu> another possibility is a broken bios;  was it a kinda gradual freeze?  you said the mouse still moved, could you move windows at all for some period of time?
[01:33] <cwillu> I'd check the logs though, and see if you can ssh it (openssh-server I think is the package if you haven't got it already, just be aware that it gives all regular users remote access protected only by their passwords)
[01:34] <y0hm> u can restrict openssh connections thought ....
[01:35] <y0hm> though...*
[01:35] <y0hm> :/
[01:35] <cwillu> y0hm: ya, just not set up by default;  just talking about troubleshooting something else right now anyway
[01:35] <y0hm> k !
[01:36] <cwillu> best I heard was a guy who rigged iptables to drop more and more packets as wrong passwords were entered
[01:37] <Misuzu> what is a good media player for 1080p in linux :3
[01:37] <y0hm> i'm just starting to learn iptables ..pretty powerful ..pretty COMPLEX too...
[01:37] <catalytic> where can i find a decent guide on configuring apache2 on ubuntu?
[01:37] <cwillu> quite
[01:37] <econobeing> does this look good to add to fstab? "/dev/hda2 /media/hda2 Vfat auto,user,exec,rw,sync 0 0"
[01:37] <y0hm> cata there is a specific apache irc channel
[01:37] <cwillu> catalytic: do you know apache config files from anywhere else?
[01:37] <starfighter> salut a tous :)
[01:37] <catalytic> no
[01:38] <gop> !vnc
[01:38] <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
[01:38] <catalytic> i need to know where they are and how to config them
[01:38] <econobeing> ?
[01:38] <gop> !freenx
[01:38] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[01:38] <cwillu> catalytic: the apache online docs will probably get you most of it, debian uses a2enmod and a2ensite to config stuff
[01:38] <Bobbix> For a valid WPA2-PSK + AES procedure ???? (Ubuntu Edgy)
[01:38] <catalytic> ok
[01:38] <y0hm> cata tried reading the MAN ?
[01:38] <y0hm> man apache :p
[01:38] <cwillu> y0hm: I found the man pages a bit counterintuitive for apache on debian actually :p
[01:39] <y0hm> yeah sometimes they are
[01:39] <starfighter> j'ai essay de rajouter une image dans le forum, mais elle ne s'affiche pas

[01:40] <daviey> Hi, anybody know how to get ftp-ssl working in nautilus???
[01:41] <cwillu> and I can barely understand french anymore :)
[01:41] <Bobbix> i'm italian and i try to write in english in this channel
[01:41] <cwillu> daviey: sftp:// doesn't do it?
[01:42] <daviey> cwillu, sftp and ftp-ssl are different
[01:42] <cwillu> ah
[01:42] <daviey> cwillu, thanks anyway
[01:42] <y0hm> ah here too :)
[01:42] <cwillu> daviey: I think there's some nautilus handlers that aren't enabled by default, let me check
[01:42] <Bobbix> ok, i go now (bye)
[01:44] <daviey> cwillu, i have installed ftp-ssl which replaces 'ftp' but nautilus doesn't seem to use it.  It works fine from console, just not nautilus
[01:45] <cwillu> daviey: might be out of luck then;  nautilus is using the vfs stuff, which ftp-ssl may not install anything for
[01:45] <daviey> cwillu, :(
[01:45] <cwillu> daviey: although it'll work with mounts fine if you can find a fuse version of it I guess
[01:47] <catalytic> i installed apache2 via synaptic
[01:47] <catalytic> and it has this written underneath
[01:47] <catalytic> This package contains all the standard apache2 modules, including SSL support.
[01:47] <catalytic> However, it does *not* include the server itself; for this you need to
[01:47] <catalytic> install one of the apache2-mpm-* packages; such as worker or prefork.
[01:47] <daviey> cwillu, what a good idea
[01:47] <catalytic> i need something else before i can start configuring the httpd.conf ?
[01:47] <catalytic> I cant find the httpd.conf at the moment
[01:47] <cwillu> catalytic: apache2 depends on apache2-mpm-worker though, so it should be installed
[01:48] <catalytic> i have apache2-mpm-prefork installed
[01:48] <cwillu> catalytic: all the apache config is in /etc/apache2/
[01:48] <cwillu> modules and sites are split out of httpd.conf, just so you know
[01:48] <catalytic> ah, so they are
[01:48] <catalytic> how come locate couldnt find them?
[01:48] <catalytic> or does it only find things within my user space?
[01:48] <cwillu> catalytic: basically just symlinks, a2ensite and a2enmode are the apps to handle it
[01:49] <cwillu> catalytic: locate updates automatically every night
[01:49] <catalytic> ok
[01:49] <catalytic> erm
[01:49] <catalytic> ive never left my box on overnight yet :P
[01:49] <cwillu> if you install something new that you want indexed, sudo updatedb will do an update at that moment
[01:49] <econobeing> awesome, my partition loads when it boots now. thanks a lot whoever it was that linked me to the fstab page
[01:49] <valehru> hey guys, how do I install kernel sources?
[01:49] <catalytic> hah, no wonder i can never find anything
[01:49] <c1|freaky> hi all. what is a good systemstats webtool for ubuntu? HotSanic doesnt work because I always get this error: unsupported graphics format 'GIF'. now I need another tool for system stats. can someone help me? (ubuntu server)
[01:49] <cwillu> I _think_ it's also smart enough to update when you turn it on if you missed an update
[01:50] <y0hm> valehru  :  linux-headers-yourkernel
[01:50] <cwillu> econobeing: np
[01:50] <valehru> y0hm, thx
[01:50] <cwillu> daviey: any luck?
[01:50] <daviey> cwillu, i might be able to mount using curl... i'll report back
[01:51] <cwillu> daviey: are you stuck using ftp over ssl?  nautilus can handle ssh transparently if that's useful at all (sshfs is also handy for that approach)
[01:52] <cwillu> curl's a proxy, right?
[01:52] <daviey> cwillu, it aint my server.  I have ftp-ssl or webdav.  As their certificate is wrong webdav won't work in nautilus (works in konquerer)
[01:52] <cwillu> lol
[01:52] <y0hm> valehru u probably (don't know 100%) need to install "build-essential" as well if you want to build/compile
[01:53] <valehru> y0hm, have it installed
[01:53] <y0hm> with yer kernel sources
[01:53] <neftune> cwillu, curl is a downloader, like wget
[01:53] <y0hm> tk
[01:53] <y0hm> tok
[01:53] <valehru> have to recompile alsa with the new kernel......the headphone jack doesnt work out of the box in edgy
[01:54] <cwillu> there's an ssl wrapper I'm trying to remember, that might work as well (point nautilus to the localhost, and the proxy handles the wrapping, but it's not terribly convenient)
[01:54] <y0hm> have some alsa probs here as well
[01:54] <ocb58> how do i create another user with the same rights as the current one in 5.10?
[01:54] <y0hm> mainly with tv-card
[01:55] <y0hm> anyone know how to get sound out of a hercules smartTV2 card on Edgy ?
[01:55] <cwillu> daviey: might be able to get stunnel or sslwrap to do what you need too
[01:55] <daviey> cwillu, i installed stunnel - but haven't looked at it yet
[01:55] <cwillu> daviey: it's pretty straightforward
[01:56] <sulo> Hi, I've got a very annoying problem: Just got my wireless card working and connected to the LAN. Used dhcp to retreive information. However, I only stay connected for a couple of minutes at a time, after which I'm kicked off the net again and have to reconnect. Can someone shed some light on this, please?
[01:57] <Jowi> sulo, generally speaking, this might be interference from other devices. try changing the channel in the router/AP
[01:59] <aciddrops> helllo
[01:59] <Jowi> sulo, also make sure that the pc is on the same floor as the AP and in line-of-sight from it. that and changing channels is what I would do first of all.

[02:05] <jahid> cwillu, i didnt you? can you clear me little more?
[02:05] <Jowi> plastik, you'll have to install those services yourself (webserver, ftp, ssh, samba etc etc) :)
[02:06] <cwillu> if you install packages via synaptic (administration menu), it'll tell you what version is there;  you can pick a particular one (if available) via the force menu item

[02:09] <cwillu> andriijas: might want to look at a demo of crossover;  if you can get counterstrike working there, you can probably get it working in vanilla wine as well, just with more effort
[02:09] <sulo> Jowi: thing is, this router is not in my apartment, but in my neighbour's
[02:09] <sulo> Jowi: so how do I know what channel to change to?
[02:09] <Jowi> sulo, there's no specific channel. your neighbour will have to try different ones. depends on your surroundings.
[02:10] <andriijas> cwillu: im no gamer. im just fine with my webdevelopment
[02:11] <Jowi> sulo, is your appartments underneath one another or across?
[02:12] <sulo> Jowi, across
[02:12] <Jowi> sulo, so you can basicly see his window?
[02:12] <sulo> Jowi, we live on the same staircase
[02:12] <sulo> Jowi, i.e. across the hall
[02:13] <Jowi> sulo, ah, door to door. I see. better try different channels then.
[02:13] <Mathew> Hello.
[02:13] <sulo> Jowi, okay. thanks
[02:13] <Mathew> I wonder if someone would care to help me solve a simple problem.
[02:13] <Mathew> dealing with Ubuntu startup behavior.
[02:13] <sulo> Mathew, just ask
[02:13] <Mathew> ok.. I have a laptop
[02:14] <Mathew> when at home I run a single display and beryl
[02:14] <sulo> What's the name of the text-based rpg where you at some point (early in the game) end up in a room with a VAX, which you have to log on to ?
[02:14] <Mathew> when at work I run with a dock and metacity
[02:15] <Mathew> I would like to write a startup script that tells if I'm docked or not and replaces the appropriate xorg file and disables/enables beryl-manager when I log in.
[02:15] <Mathew> 2 problems with this... I have no idea how to tell if I'm docked or not to make an action in this script
[02:16] <Mathew> and I don't know where my session startup program list is kept so it can be edited to disable/enable beryl
[02:16] <sulo> Mathew, ~/.Xsession?
[02:17] <h3> cwillu, hey thanks 'ide=nodma' got ubuntu installed for me, how do i set dma on now?
[02:17] <Mathew> thats prob it sulo
[02:17] <soundray> Mathew: if you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' while you dock, you will see whether any events are logged/devices created in relation to the docking

[02:34] <Dh3Y0> IdleOne: i have another partition, somethin i dont use very frequently it has about 5GB left but its got somefiles i m trying to recover from a previously crashed windows...and those files cant be deleted or backed up, if i install ubuntu on that partition, will i still be able to recover those files that are already on it?.
[02:34] <ice> modem ADLS
[02:34] <AngryElf_> the ubuntu wiki on beryl doesn't mention anything about installing AIGLX (i thought it used to).  It only mentions enabling it in xorg.conf....is this somethign new?
[02:34] <nilvio> someone wine user here ?
[02:34] <y0hm> funchal check apt-cdrom
[02:34] <nilvio> when i try put wine cfg i get message Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[02:34] <nilvio> what is wrong
[02:34] <andriijas> AngryElf_: aiglx is included in ubuntu
[02:34] <andriijas> AngryElf_: = its already installed
[02:34] <Willy> is it ppoe or pppoa?
[02:34] <AngryElf_> andriijas: alright then, I did everything the wiki says and no fun burning windows :/
[02:34] <y0hm> from Xorg 7.1 to be precise AIGLX is included by default
[02:35] <Data_> nilvio, have you tried in root user?
[02:35] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: ubuntu will format that drive/partiton so you will lose those files but I believe that with the Ubuntu CD ( live cd ) you can access that drive and try to recover the files
[02:35] <Jowi> AngryElf, in Edgy it is included. In Dapper you need to install it
[02:35] <nilvio> Data_ yest
[02:35] <ice> ppoe
[02:35] <nilvio> yeas
[02:35] <nilvio> yes
[02:35] <Data_> nilvio had you installed a source or a packaged one?
[02:36] <ice> Willy : ppoe..
[02:36] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: the ubuntu cd you have is a Live CD meaning that you can run ubuntu without touching the physical drive.there is a install icon on the desktop for when you are ready to commit to ubuntu

[02:43] <nilvio> Data_ its not lineage 2 problem i cant only do that winecfg command
[02:43] <soundray> !automatix | nilvio, Data_
[02:43] <ubotu> nilvio, Data_: 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

[02:47] <variant> apokryphos: damn.. is there much benefit from using 64bit ?
[02:47] <nilvio> have to try format computer and try again
[02:47] <aalhamad> nalioth, what do you mean?
[02:47] <Seveas> ahaller, nvm
[02:47] <IdleOne> aalhamad: ummm yeah if you buy a hamburger at mcdonalds and decide you want burger king then you have to buy another one from burger king right?
[02:47] <cwillu> incorrect: google chmod, I _think_ you can set the sticky bit on the directory, but I'm not sure
[02:47] <aalhamad> nalioth, i have to pay again?
[02:47] <IdleOne> Seveas: apokryphos took care of it
[02:48] <nalioth> aalhamad: if you switch hosting companies, usually you do
[02:48] <IdleOne> Seveas: ty
[02:48] <aalhamad> oooh..
[02:48] <apokryphos> variant: there is some perfomance improvement, but Ubuntu isn't BiArch compatible, so things like flash and wine won't work
[02:48] <DRM3Z> IdleOne:: he says xorg -server is not installed wich seems bit strange to me since I running gui
[02:48] <apokryphos> variant: depends on whether that's an issue for you
[02:48] <aalhamad> even using my same domain?
[02:48] <variant> apokryphos: yeah would be, it's a desktop machine thats not for me
[02:48] <incorrect> thanks

[02:49] <IdleOne> aalhamad: the domain name is owned by you. but the servers hosting the website is owned by someone else so yes you have to pay them if you want to use theyre servers
[02:49] <variant> apokryphos: yeah hehe, /me remembers to stop complaining about noobs not reading docs :P
[02:49] <Dh3Y0> Is mozzila installed on the live installation cd?

[02:50] <variant> Dh3Y0: so is gaim and xchat etc
[02:50] <IdleOne> aalhamad: ask the hosting company if they will refund I cant speak for them
[02:50] <DRM3Z> Yea that was what i thought, Im not that stupid really tryed what the manual and wiki was saying but weird errors that no packet installed :S
[02:50] <aalhamad> IdleOne, im using godady do you know anything about them that they return my money?

[02:51] <AngryElf_> does beryl run on XGL or AIGLX?
[02:51] <cwillu> either
[02:51] <elkbuntu> aalhamad, sites like webhostingtalk.com is likely to have information for you
[02:51] <cwillu> xgl, aiglx is just the xserver, beryl and compiz will generally run on either
[02:52] <Jowi> AngryElf, for me it was easiest with AIGLX since it is included by default in edgy.
[02:52] <DRM3Z> :D thnx
[02:52] <aalhamad> ok thanks
[02:52] <zyth> My trash applet is broken.  It never shows trash in it, and right clicking on it has 'empty trash' greyed out, but if I open the folder I can see the stuff in it, and I can empty trash.  Anyone got any idea?

[03:08] <cwillu> sorush20: might want to look into the backports project, they might have an updated build, or be willing to maintain one
[03:08] <cwillu> !backports
[03:08] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports

[03:09] <goldeagle> hello, I Have a problem with my gtk interfaces, open normal but without fonts, help please ..
[03:11] <Jowi> goldeagle, run gnome-font-properties and see if there are values missing there
[03:11] <Jowi> goldeagle, maybe a font you were using is not there any more
[03:11] <sorush20> cwillu: I have the backports
[03:11] <sorush20> deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[03:11] <sorush20> its not there.
[03:12] <goldeagle> Jowi: sans, sans, sans, sans bold, monospace, best forms ... this is selected
[03:12] <Math^> hello, I've got some script, where to put it/make it active?
[03:12] <goldeagle> Jowi: I migrate for edgy from dapper
[03:13] <Ulixes> hi
[03:13] <soundray> Math^: chmod 755 to make it executable. Copy it to /usr/local/bin to put it on the path
[03:13] <Ulixes> can anyone tell me what is the command to stop X?
[03:13] <Math^> soundray: ok
[03:13] <ForgeAus> to stop X?
[03:13] <ForgeAus> good question!
[03:14] <Ulixes> yes, like startx
[03:14] <Ulixes> for start
[03:14] <ForgeAus> not sure why anyone would want to but still
[03:14] <Ulixes> is it just stopx?
[03:14] <Math^> soundray: not something like a+x?
[03:14] <Ulixes> i'm a newbee :|
[03:14] <soundray> Math^: man chmod
[03:14] <biotrox> what do you intend to do with stopping X..?
[03:14] <soundray> Ulixes: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[03:14] <biotrox> you just TUI or with GUI
[03:15] <biotrox> Ctrl-Alt-Backspace just to restart the GDM not for restarting X
[03:15] <Math^> soundray: it does not work
[03:15] <daftvader> hi, can anyone help me get usplash to work?
[03:15] <soundray> Math^: what, man chmod?
[03:15] <daftvader> I just upgrade to edgy and usplash does not work
[03:15] <daftvader> just a blank black start up screen
[03:16] <Data_> Ulixes to stop X must be in root in a shell and type: gdm stop
[03:16] <Jowi> goldeagle, was the upgrade successful? maybe you can try to delete .gtk* .gnome* and .gconf* in your homedir and try to login again. that will reset gnome to its defaults
[03:16] <Math^> soundray: Ive copied the file in to my /usr/local/bin dir
[03:16] <Math^> and I've chmod it
[03:16] <goldeagle> Jowi: I dont deleted nothing ... I have problems in two packages ... one moment
[03:17] <soundray> Math^: enter 'which file' (substituting file with the name of your script)
[03:17] <goldeagle> Jowi: gnome-app-install ubuntu-desktop , impossible install this packages
[03:18] <Jowi> goldeagle, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage for a full ubuntu gnome install. why does it fial?
[03:18] <Rprp>   ChanServ Duiv`eerrgus`eufzeuw JGotti Rprp
[03:18] <Math^> soundray: ha?
[03:18] <cwillu> goldeagle: have you used automatix or easyubuntu?
[03:19] <goldeagle> Jowi: I go try install and send error .. one moment
[03:19] <biotrox> is there any chick using ubuntu for their computer..
[03:19] <goldeagle> cwillu: I dont use this .... I use dst-upgrade for migration only
[03:19] <Jowi> goldeagle, ubuntu-desktop is more than one package. its more like 50-100 of them that is installed if you select it.
[03:19] <Jowi> goldeagle, you need it.
[03:19] <gnomefreak> biotrox: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for general chatter
[03:20] <goldeagle> Jowi: yes .. one moment friend
[03:20] <biotrox> Ooo OK
[03:20] <soundray> Math^: how are you getting on?
[03:20] <sorush20> not all the packages in fiesty are in backports for edgy
[03:24] <goldeagle> Jowi: http://sial.org/pbot/22729
[03:25] <goldeagle> Jowi: I'm installing ... one moment
[03:25] <rukuartic> Hi there. I've been having problems with Apache2 not logging things propperly. Does anyone know anything about this?
[03:26] <webben> Installing emacs currently fails for me: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3451/
[03:26] <webben> can anyone suggest how I could fix that?
[03:27] <zyth> webben, use vi.
[03:27] <webben> zyth, Not helpful. ;)
[03:27] <zyth> heheh ;)
[03:28] <zyth> you need this file: cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell.el'
[03:28] <Jowi> goldeagle, maybe also reinstall xorg "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg" also see if these are up to date "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard"
[03:28] <zyth> install ispell.
[03:28] <zyth> mebbe
[03:28] <soundray> webben: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[03:28] <Jowi> goldeagle, but I hope ubuntu-desktop is enough
[03:28] <zyth> webben, and for god's sake, run apt-get autoremove ;)
[03:29] <webben> zyth, i dunno ... I'm sure I use some of that stuff. So I don't trust it.
[03:29] <webben> soundray, thanks that gives me the same error
[03:29] <rukuartic> zyth: Yeah, what if we *want* to keep that stuff, how do we get rid of the message?
[03:29] <zyth> rukuartic, I'm unsure, sorry
[03:30] <Pici> try apt-get -f install
[03:30] <goldeagle> Jowi: error now ...http://sial.org/pbot/22730
[03:31] <soundray> webben: can you install dictionaries-common ?
[03:32] <soundray> webben: (it provides /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell.el)
[03:32] <webben> ah ha
[03:32] <webben> that sounds promising
[03:33] <goldeagle> Jowi: I wa with error, apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop gnome-app-install ... without error again
[03:34] <Jowi> goldeagle, dependency errors. hmmm... have you tried to run "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" before trying to install ubuntu-desktop again...

[03:36] <metaperl> I tried to install Ubunu 6.10. I get a disk error when booting from hard drive. is there some option to verify the disk initialization?
[03:36] <Jowi> goldeagle, do you have any third party repos in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[03:37] <soundray> metaperl: you should try the instructions for grub failure after Windows install:
[03:37] <soundray> !grub | metaperl

[03:39] <tuxub> hi, how can I compress a multiple disk zip file in ubuntu?
[03:39] <tonyyarusso> tuxub: what do you mean by multiple disk?
[03:40] <Jedrick> is there a way to know the ip of my chatmate in gaim?
[03:40] <tonyyarusso> Jedrick: There _might_ be a plugin for that.
[03:40] <Jowi> goldeagle, maybe try to use an archive repo in your country in sources.list... that's the best bet I have atm.
[03:40] <frojnd> hello
[03:40] <soundray> tuxub: zipsplit -h
[03:41] <tuxub> I need to split some files to send by email. the max size of each file must not exceed 5M
[03:41] <Jedrick> tonyyarusso: what plugin is that?
[03:41] <tuxub> and must be openable by someone using windows on the other end
[03:41] <Pici> Jedrick : if you're using aim, theres no way of knowing unless you have a direct connection setup
[03:41] <frojnd> does anyone know for any kind of prog that manage subtititles (.srt, .sub...) FPS...
[03:41] <Jedrick> Pici:  what you mean?
[03:41] <goldeagle> Jowi: ok ... I go change my repository for BR
[03:42] <Gamentine> hello all,
[03:42] <remsss> hello everyone
[03:42] <soundray> tuxub: zipsplit -h
[03:42] <ShankarGanesh> hello all
[03:42] <Pici> Jedrick : I mean that using AOL's AIM system means that you and your friend connect to aol's server and are actually chatting through that.  If you setup one of those direct connections (usually for doing file transfers, I dont remember the exact name of it) you should be able to do a netstat to find their IP.
[03:43] <__Jenny> hello
[03:43] <Dh3Y0> 100% downloaded gonna go burn
[03:43] <ShankarGanesh> can i ask a question here

[03:43] <frogzoo> ShankarGanesh: you already did
[03:43] <ShankarGanesh> i use gaim and i wanna store irc chat history
[03:43] <tuxub> sondray, the -n size is in bytes?
[03:43] <Pici> Jedrick : if you are looking for a more speicific gaim answer, you might try  looking in the #gaim channel
[03:43] <Jedrick> Pici:  im using gaim as yahoo messenger
[03:43] <prower> Hello :> For some reason, whenever I start up GAIM, the tray icon shows me as away even though I'm set as available....is there some setting that I have to change?
[03:43] <ShankarGanesh> how do i do that
[03:43] <Jowi> __Jenny, /usr/src
[03:43] <ShankarGanesh> i use gaim and i want my irc chats to be stored
[03:43] <__Jenny> Jowi, no there is nothin
[03:44] <Pici> Jedrick : I'm not familiar with yahoo messenger, I'd try asking in #gaim
[03:44] <ShankarGanesh> help pls :)
[03:44] <Jowi> __Jenny, then you need to install it.
[03:44] <goldeagle> Jowi: http://sial.org/pbot/22734 , apt-get update
[03:44] <Jedrick> ok
[03:44] <soundray> tuxub: yes
[03:44] <ignacio> hi
[03:44] <__Jenny> Jowi, how?
[03:44] <tuxub> amaia@maia:~$ zipsplit -n 500000 xpto.zip
[03:44] <tuxub> zipsplit error: Entry too big to split, read, or write (relatorio_final_0506.pdf)
[03:44] <ignacio> can someone help me with a usb video capture card?
[03:44] <tuxub> soundray, can u help me? what am I doing wrong?
[03:45] <__Jenny> i have this kernel running: 2.6.18.1
[03:45] <ShankarGanesh> how do i store irc chat history in gaim?
[03:45] <__Jenny> Jowi, i have this kernel running: 2.6.18.1
[03:45] <tonyyarusso> Jedrick: All right, I don't have a direct answer, but it at least looks like it must have access to that information somehow, http://mailman.jabber.org/pipermail/jdev/2004-November/019625.html
[03:45] <goldeagle> Jowi: http://sial.org/pbot/22735 sources.list new , my country
[03:46] <Jowi> __Jenny, you downloaded and compiled that one yourself?
[03:46] <__Jenny> no
[03:46] <__Jenny> its a root server from my hoster
[03:46] <Jowi> goldeagle, "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[03:46] <__Jenny> with their kernel
[03:47] <adamlaptop> hi all
[03:47] <__Jenny> Jowi, do i need some header files?
[03:47] <goldeagle> http://sial.org/pbot/22736, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard
[03:47] <__Jenny> Jowi, or how can i fix this problem?
[03:47] <adamlaptop> how would i go about installing LAMP on my local machine as a testing environment?
[03:47] <Jowi> __Jenny, so they should know where to get the kernel source for you. they might have used specific patches and stuff. I can't really recommend how to get it for you.
[03:47] <soundray> tuxub: I haven't tried this, but I think you need to do the zipping and splitting in one. Ie. if your data is in folder/, do 'zipsplit -n 500000 archivename.zip folder/'
[03:48] <soundray> tuxub: use -t to test
[03:48] <__Jenny> Jowi,  so the kernel source isnt on the server in a dir?
[03:48] <__Jenny> Jowi, cant i search for it?
[03:49] <Jowi> __Jenny, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:49] <nocturn> Hi all
[03:49] <soundray> tuxub: sorry, I take it all back
[03:49] <ShankarGanesh> gud nite everybody
[03:49] <goldeagle> Jowi: http://sial.org/pbot/22737 , "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[03:49] <nocturn> I'm looking for a program to make backups of a homedirectory to CD
[03:49] <nocturn> something easy
[03:49] <goldeagle> Jowi: error again ... :|
[03:49] <nocturn> Hubackup is nice, but does not allow custom excludes
[03:49] <adamlaptop> how would i go about installing LAMP on my local machine as a testing environment?
[03:49] <ardchoille42> nocturn, I use tar in a script for that. Want me to pastebin it?
[03:50] <Jowi> goldeagle, yeah, and the same one as well. I have no idea what to think of that.
[03:50] <soundray> tuxub: that error you're getting is because some files in your archive are too big -- they would be split across several files, which zip does not support.
[03:50] <nocturn> ardchoille42: Thanks, but I'm looking for something with a GUI, it's not for me
[03:50] <nocturn> It's for an ex-windows user with basic computer knowledge, so the easier the better
[03:51] <ardchoille42> nocturn, Ok, but with a GUI, you need to run it.. a shell script can be put into a crontab and the system will run it without you having to do it. Just a thought.
[03:51] <steeg> is there a way to force apt-get to remove a package? i am having some problems trying to reinstall mldonkey.. it worked fine for a while, but stopped working after i tampered with the config, and i tought i'd do a reinstall to get it back up
[03:51] <ardchoille42> nocturn, Ah, ok.
[03:51] <soundray> tuxub: I've got another solution. Are you still there?
[03:51] <tuxub> yes, please
[03:52] <goldeagle> Jowi: http://sial.org/pbot/22738 , Summary: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop gnome-app-install AND sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:52] <Jowi> goldeagle, ah, look what i stumbled accross https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-app-install/+bug/67067
[03:52] <nocturn> window 3
[03:52] <goldeagle> Jowi: I'm seeing this url ...
[03:53] <Jowi> goldeagle, so it seems to be a python problem.
[03:54] <soundray> tuxub: do a 'split -b 500000 xpto.zip xpto-archive'
[03:54] <goldeagle> Jowi: python problem, is possible ... I have old and new versions
[03:54] <tuxub> soundray, but will I be able to open that files in windows with winzip?
[03:54] <soundray> tuxub: on Windows, you can recombine the resulting xpto-archive files with 'copy /b xpto-archive.* xpto.zip'
[03:55] <goldeagle> Jowi: how to do python problem ?
[03:55] <tuxub> soundray, that wont work... the destination is a complete non techie computer user
[03:55] <tuxub> explaining her how to do a copy /b is the same for her has explaining to you how to mount an atomic bomb :P
[03:56] <Jowi> goldeagle, I don't know.
[03:56] <soundray> tuxub: oh, I wouldn't find that too difficult
[03:56] <zyth> tuxub, make a batch file for her?
[03:56] <zyth> lol
[03:57] <tuxub> zyth, isn't there a way to make a winzip like file in ubuntu?
[03:57] <goldeagle> Jowi: thx friend ... I think pythn problem .. I go to talk with python comunity
[03:57] <tuxub> just like thjat
[03:57] <tuxub> ?
[03:57] <zyth> tuxub, yeah, use winzip+wine
[03:57] <zyth> lol
[03:57] <zyth> or do you just mean a zip file?

[04:06] <riotkittie> yigido: and your problem is?
[04:06] <Jowi> tuxub, "zipsplit" is probably what you are looking for.
[04:06] <yigido> after i say start or install ubuntu, for a few milliseconds something appears on the screen saying
[04:06] <tuxub> Jowi, can you show me an example of how to do it? I tried but didn't manage to do it
[04:06] <yigido> can not allocate region 7 bridge something
[04:06] <yigido> then the bar comes up and thats it
[04:06] <yigido> no further progress
[04:07] <yigido> i have a fujitsu siemens M1437G laptop
[04:07] <riotkittie> ooh i am being run over by  atonka dump truck
[04:07] <riotkittie> yigido: sorry, i am clueless.
[04:07] <yigido> :(
[04:07] <dramamine> anyone?
[04:08] <pumpkinhead> question: if i need to reset my modem during the session, how do i reset the connection to ubuntu?
[04:08] <yigido> anyone has any idea about it?
[04:08] <Jowi> tuxub, never tried. but I would guess first create a zip file with "zip" and the "zipsplit -n 512000 myfile.zip"
[04:09] <CanadianMan_> i'm having trouble getting my tv-out to display anything, i'm using dvi-component
[04:09] <damageDOne> Hi, I'm trying to burn a dvd with 4.5GB of files and I'm being told to insert a disk with at least 4.5Gb of space even though a dvd has 4.7Gb of space. Can someone tell me why this would be happening?
[04:10] <ruzgar> how can i upgrade my ubuntu to upper version ?
[04:10] <pumpkinhead> damageDOne are you sure it's blank and not a faulty diskk
[04:10] <damageDOne> I've tried several disks I get the same message
[04:10] <michaelpo> i'm trying to install democracyplayer on ubuntu6.06... but got error message... "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libatk1.0-0"
[04:10] <dramamine> Package mysql is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package mysql has no installation candidate
[04:11] <soundray> !upgrade | ruzgar
[04:11] <ubotu> ruzgar: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:11] <pumpkinhead> can i reset my net connection (reinitialize) without rebooting?
[04:11] <ruzgar> !install

[04:11] <pumpkinhead> damage may i ask what brand of dvdr?
[04:11] <soundray> damageDOne: this is probably the difference between Gigabytes and "Gibibytes"
[04:12] <damageDOne> soundray: huh?
[04:12] <bulmer> pumpkinhead: try  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:12] <CanadianMan_> pumpkinhead, are you able to go under Network under system -> admin and deactivate/activate
[04:13] <CanadianMan_> nvm
[04:13] <pumpkinhead> thank you bulmer and Canadian
[04:13] <damageDOne> pumpkinhead: DVD brand is imation. The writer is a from an ASUS lapotp
[04:13] <ConstyXIV> and there was much rejoicing, as I found out how to use usb mass storage players in banshee
[04:13] <soundray> damageDOne: a DVD has 4700000000 bytes. Manufacturers call this 4.7GB, although in reality it's only 4.48 GB (if you consider a Gigabyte to be 1024*1024*1024 bytes)
[04:14] <damageDOne> Okay so if I drop a few files off and try again I should be alright.
[04:14] <andriijas> they apply same wierd math to harddrives
[04:15] <Dh3Y0> allright cd burnt now bootinh
[04:15] <Dh3Y0> wish me luck
[04:15] <soundray> damageDOne: yes, I think so
[04:15] <ConstyXIV> next question: can you keep nautilus from popping up every time i insert my music player or thumb drive?
[04:15] <Dh3Y0> my first linuxs installation
[04:15] <Dh3Y0> XP
[04:15] <damageDOne> soundray: I just tried and got this "Please replace the disc in the drive with a supported disc with at least 4.3 GiB free.  The following disc types are supported:
[04:15] <damageDOne> DVD+R DL"
[04:15] <svfusion> I get this error when I start squid FATAL: Failed to make swap directory /var/squid/cache/00: (13) Permission denied
[04:15] <Dh3Y0> btw is irc included in the live installation cd?

[04:17] <ConstyXIV> gop: it means you disconnect, but it keeps running
[04:17] <gop> is freenx the rdp for linux or unix

[04:17] <ConstyXIV> gop: like it, but better
[04:17] <ykrana> gop: it means i'm still on 9v input
[04:17] <gop> ConstyXIV,  but don't vnc do that already
[04:17] <ykrana> yetibot is already stopping
[04:17] <gop> so when I free nx client from remote

[04:18] <Jowi> tuxub, just tried it. first I zipped a dir with songs: zip -r myfile "Xavier Rudd - To Let"/      then: zipsplit -n 20000000 myfile.zip    that split up the zip file into 4
[04:18] <ykrana> i tried jolt this summer
[04:18] <ConstyXIV> gop: the session will still be there

[04:19] <soundray> Jowi: it won't work if any of the uncompressed files exceed the limit you set with -n
[04:19] <ykrana>  then: zipsplit -n 20000000 myfile.zip  have i only want him or i'll try but i'll just leave no matter if i need you to ignore list.
[04:19] <gili> i neeed some help regarding Mplayer.....when i play different vids i get a diagonal split of the screen....why?
[04:19] <ykrana> but that split up the zip -r myfile xavier rudd - to get an agreement on 3 pins cant run the modem on linux?
[04:19] <NoEvidenZ> I'm looking to share my internet connection from my Windows XP connection with my Ubuntu computer, can anyone point me in the right direction?

[04:19] <gop> con-man,  the channel will still be thier
[04:19] <ykrana> why would say, for the channel is crap
[04:19] <Jowi> tuxub, -n [number]  must be bigger than the biggest file in the zip.
[04:19] <ykrana> condensed  water  water must be only
[04:19] <ZloDeY> ku-ku
[04:19] <Spinnaker> ConstyXIV: Which one you use?
[04:19] <ykrana> you all use?
[04:19] <Jowi> soundray, true
[04:20] <ConstyXIV> Spinnaker: gnome tends to be more unified and easier to use, while kde is more flexible and powerful
[04:20] <ykrana> constyxiv: which one is better: gnome or kde?
[04:20] <Rippance> hi
[04:20] <ykrana> hi
[04:20] <dm_> ConstyXIV i tend to disagree :P

[04:20] <pumpkinhead> ykrana for an average user it doesn't really matter that much imo

[04:20] <ykrana> i'm a new edgy user and i'm away ^_^

[04:21] <gili> hello
[04:21] <kev_b> any know why my "faster user switcher" applet stopped working (i think) after I installed nm-applet?
[04:21] <omkar86> I installed ubuntu on second primary partition /dev/hda3, Can i make this partition logical without loosing data?
[04:21] <dm_> soundray maybe u can anser this. I want to play an MP3 while playing World of warcraft, but no sound comes from anything but WOW? , is there anyway to fis this?
[04:21] <gili> will someone help me with Mplayer?

[04:21] <soundray> Thx Seveas and gnomefreak
[04:21] <gili> i neeed some help regarding Mplayer.....when i play different vids i get a diagonal split of the screen....why?
[04:21] <cefx-> Hello!
[04:22] <ConstyXIV> i use kde on my desktop, but gnome on my laptop because a) less powerful hardware, and b) work just gets done in gnome
[04:22] <cefx-> Anyone know the requirements to becoming an ubuntu mirror?
[04:22] <Astaroth> I basically need help on how to use xmodmap and imwheel
[04:22] <hitammanis> Have anyone got ubuntu to work on a USB Flash Drive yet?
[04:22] <soundray> dm_: do you play WoW through wine or something like that?
[04:22] <ConstyXIV> i say kde if you want to customize the hell out of your desktop
[04:22] <dm_> soundray aye
[04:22] <rippz> Hi, i'm going to install Ubuntu server instead of Windows 2003 on my home server. Can Ubuntu convert NTFS to linux file system for me?
[04:23] <ConstyXIV> rippz: not to my knowledge
[04:23] <ForgeAus> there is a convertfs tool
[04:23] <rippz> Is it reliable?
[04:23] <ForgeAus> but not sure if NTFS is one of the filesystems it uses
[04:23] <ConstyXIV> rippz: i say just back up and dump back
[04:23] <ForgeAus> you might need to copy/paste to a temporary location or backup and restore?
[04:23] <omkar86> hi I installed ubuntu on second primary partition /dev/hda3, Can i make this partition logical without loosing data?
[04:23] <soundray> dm_: it must be hogging the sound. Either run a music player within the same wine session, or configure wine to use alsa instead of OSS emulation. Not that I know how to do that...
[04:24] <gop> ConstyXIV,  and the nx server runs only on unix platform or does it also run on windows
[04:24] <pumpkinhead> soundray i have that problem with some apps but not others
[04:24] <dm_> soundray ill try thank you
[04:24] <rippz> alright I'd have to sort it out then since I lack hard drive capacity
[04:24] <k010> where do i find the log for all the crashed apps?
[04:24] <pumpkinhead> or dm_i mean
[04:24] <Astaroth> Trying to make horizontal scroll work on my Logitech Cordless Click mouse. Anyone willing to help?
[04:24] <soundray> pumpkinhead: probably each one that uses the old OSS instead of ALSA as the output backend
[04:24] <gop> if I log in to my own desktop locally
[04:24] <gop> /usr/NX/bin/nxclient &
[04:24] <gop> via this
[04:25] <ForgeAus> hmm I have an interesting question, whats stopping ntldr from using ext2fs driver to boot up from?...  (ie could one theoretically have a WindowsXP ext3 partition?
[04:25] <gop> I will get loop back effects
[04:25] <gili> bueno quien me puede decir como eliminar este diagonal que produce mplayer?

[04:25] <gop> any here know how can I check if my tv tuner card is supported
[04:26] <gili> gop: Mplayer is giving me a diagonal screen split how do i elimar that
[04:26] <hitammanis> Every time I had tried it, after changing and or installing something new I get message saying  /var/log/lastlog locked/write after fsck. What do I do? Please help :) :)
[04:26] <dm_> soundray i think i got it, but its fuzzy
[04:26] <rolf> how can i delete the pppoe config created by pppoeconf as well as the cached data within pppoeconf?
[04:26] <pumpkinhead> gili no se mucho de myplayer. puede ud trater los help files por el myplayer site?
[04:26] <gop> elimate that
[04:26] <daubs> Hey all, a quick question. On a lot of screenshots of GNOME I've seen around, a lot of them have like an information bar on the right hand side. What program supplies this?
[04:26] <Pici> !es
[04:26] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[04:26] <gop> GigaClon,  elimar = elimate
[04:26] <gili> sorry eliminate that
[04:26] <soundray> ForgeAus: I think that driver is like what you would call a module in Linux. So if there was a mechanism like initramfs to load drivers required for booting, it would be possible. But I doubt that Windows would allow that kind of fiddling
[04:26] <citybird> can anyone tell me where i can find a list of packages available for ubuntu? i am looking for libmail-spf-query-perl which is suggested in an install script that i am trying to use.

[04:34] <gop> but I don't have patients for commands
[04:34] <ForgeAus> its not very user friendly agreed
[04:34] <UglyBetty> hello
[04:34] <ForgeAus> but once you learn it you can do magic... it seems
[04:34] <ForgeAus> (not that I've learnt it)

[04:36] <ConstyXIV> gop: sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt

[04:38] <ForgeAus> um Guychi not sure.. I'd have to check it out myself too
[04:38] <gop> hitammanis,  thier is gentoo usb install which seem to be the best
[04:38] <ForgeAus> but there should be a /boot directory
[04:38] <ForgeAus> and under that a /grub directory
[04:38] <ForgeAus> inside that shoudl be a file called menu.lst
[04:38] <_Andrew> Guychi: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:38] <ForgeAus> with your boot order, etc...
[04:38] <gop> FordPrefect,  what distro you used on a stick

[04:42] <|Shadow|> what can i do ?
[04:43] <hibbie> change the permissoins, shadow
[04:43] <ForgeAus> all you have to do is build a system on it and copy a live cd over possibly?
[04:43] <|Shadow|> how?
[04:43] <hibbie> or run it as sudo?

[04:43] <ForgeAus> Id' be more interested in making a network boot for it lol
[04:43] <gop> hin http://www.flashlinux.org.uk/
[04:44] <|Shadow|> ok
[04:44] <hitammanis> Pici: I followed the instruction exactly and still get a lastlog error, I will try again
[04:44] <greysun> hitammanis: slax or something might be more fun on usb
[04:44] <gop> ForgeAus,  every try that
[04:44] <UglyBetty> so if i install it on a usb stick i can take it to a freinds house and plug it in to his pc and use ubuntu
[04:44] <gop> greygoo,  I used slax on usb
[04:44] <gop> it sucks
[04:44] <gop> UglyBetty,  yea
[04:44] <gop> but the ubuntu hack
[04:44] <hibbie> (if anyone's got a moment, I wouldn't mind a hand on some network/ADSL problems)
[04:44] <gop> is not so great yet
[04:44] <citybird> man i had almost forgotten what dependency hell was like.
[04:44] <hitammanis> greysun: I tried it, but I like ubuntu
[04:44] <gop> UglyBetty,  use this one http://www.flashlinux.org.uk/
[04:44] <ForgeAus> yeah slackware isn't all that good, at least I don't find it all that good
[04:44] <_bman|> would WEP by considered hexadecimal or ASCII on ubuntu 6.10?
[04:44] <ConstyXIV> i keep a slax minicd in my jacket pocket
[04:44] <gop> most work like live cd
[04:44] <gop> say if you
[04:45] <gop> say if you installed an application or add a user
[04:45] <gop> when you reboot the usb
[04:45] <UglyBetty> thanks
[04:45] <gop> it reset
[04:45] <_bman|> would WEP key be considered hexadecimal or ASCII on ubuntu 6.10?
[04:45] <gop> it won't save nothing
[04:45] <gop> it works like a live cd
[04:45] <gop> it sucks
[04:45] <ConstyXIV> _bman|: does your wep key have anything other than numbers and a-f?
[04:45] <|Shadow|> the installer runs now and it says "./ati-installer.sh: 156: Syntax error: Bad substitution"
[04:45] <gop> but http://www.flashlinux.org.uk/ works like a linux distro
[04:45] <_bman|> no.
[04:45] <Pici> _bman| : Probably hex
[04:45] <_bman|> just numbers.
[04:45] <_bman|> thank you.
[04:45] <citybird> can anyone help??  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  zlib1g-dev: Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.3-6ubuntu4) but 1:1.2.3-13ubuntu2 is to be installed E: Broken packages...

[04:45] <pumpkinhead> alan_ busco mi IM
[04:45] <_bman|> if it's recieving & trnasfering packets..
[04:46] <gop> in that when you install flash linux it tells you need a ext3 partion where it saves yoru settings and apps
[04:46] <_bman|> why can't I get FF to work?
[04:46] <Guychi> Is there any way to recover my password if I forgot it?
[04:46] <_bman|> er, why wouldn't I?*
[04:46] <ConstyXIV> _bman|: have you tried network-manager?
[04:46] <ForgeAus> if you install flash linux to a drive but you don't have to
[04:46] <mick666> www.freepenguin.altervista.org/inden.html
[04:46] <_bman|> yes.
[04:46] <ConstyXIV> oh
[04:46] <ForgeAus> you can just use it for a temporary OS or a recovery OS
[04:46] <chris_shafto> Anyway to get a clean install of ubuntu without using the live CS?
[04:46] <UglyBetty> oh and by the way would ubuntu recognise my ntfs hard drive
[04:46] <chris_shafto> CD?*
[04:46] <hitammanis> brb
[04:47] <ForgeAus> also a usbstick is writeable
[04:47] <ConstyXIV> UglyBetty: AS READ ONLY
[04:47] <emo> -bman|:hexadecimal
[04:47] <ConstyXIV> oops
[04:47] <SushiP> Oooo flash linux looks nice *puts on ipod*
[04:47] <_bman|> ubuntu is great so far. :)
[04:47] <ForgeAus> an ubuntu liveCD isn't
[04:47] <ConstyXIV> sorry for caps
[04:47] <zack> i installed flash player 9 for firefox but some websites still tell me i need flash player 8 to play the videos
[04:47] <_bman|> but I can't get the wireless to work.
[04:47] <zack> should i remove flashplayer 7
[04:47] <UglyBetty> does that mean i could watch movies from that drive
[04:47] <ConstyXIV> _bman|: are you running the latest updates?
[04:48] <ardeni> irc.freenode.net
[04:48] <Meekus> a question if I may... I set up ubuntu to authenticate against MS Active Direcoty using Winbind, PAM, and krb5.  Works great.  Now I wish to mount a network drive for users to use as their home.  That network drive is Solaris, running both NFS and Samba.  Utlimately, I want users to only enter in their user/pass one time.  Any thoughts?  would smbmount be a good way to go?
[04:48] <yellowdart> zack, i have flash 9 working and never installed 7
[04:48] <gop> but ConstyXIV  am I wrong, but I read that usb flash has X number of writes it can do
[04:48] <gop> then it stops
[04:48] <emo> -bman|:open your network just for a while I mean remove the password to and try to connect I'd the same problem couple of days ago.
[04:48] <|Shadow|> kinda a long shot, but could anyone connect to my VNC and help me set up dual monitors (with a dual head ati card)
[04:48] <ConstyXIV> gop: right, i think its a few thousand
[04:49] <|Shadow|> i've been trying for 6 hours yesterday, and atleast 2 hours today and i just can't do it
[04:49] <|Shadow|> been through about 8 tutorials that allways seem to go wrong also :(
[04:49] <ardeni> #ubuntu-pl
[04:49] <gop> sushi I wish ubuntu did it that way
[04:49] <gop> sushi for usb flash is a live cd
[04:50] <gop> when you reboot it reset
[04:50] <emo> _bman|: see if you works..
[04:50] <gop> user and applcations installed
[04:50] <gop> but flash linux is like a real distro install
[04:50] <|Shadow|> heh, back to windows i guess lol
[04:50] <ConstyXIV> |Shadow|: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :)
[04:50] <|Shadow|> lol
[04:51] <|Shadow|> well i've really had it with linux, i spent 8 hours in total just trying to get dual monitors to work
[04:51] <emo> _bman|: what you have done to try to connect ?
[04:51] <|Shadow|> i mean jeez, its not exactly rocket science.
[04:51] <ConstyXIV> |Shadow|: i know someone who's done it, let me get a hold of him
[04:51] <_bman|> omg
[04:51] <_bman|> I'm in
[04:51] <_bman|> wireless works!
[04:51] <_bman|> thanks guys<3
[04:51] <ConstyXIV> |Shadow|: crap, hes in class
[04:51] <|Shadow|> ConstyXIV ok but this is getting repeatitve :P
[04:51] <|Shadow|> lol
[04:51] <citybird> ok i get it. i was looking at instructions for dapper and if i change dapper to edggy it will work.
[04:51] <Steven07> what did you do to make wireless work bman?
[04:52] <emo> _bman|: what you have done ?
[04:52] <|Shadow|> probably would just get the same responce anyways, i kept on getting pointed at bogus tutorials that tell me to run commands that don't work or return errors
[04:52] <_bman|> not sure, let it sit for a second.. after it was all connected
[04:52] <Steven07> nothing..but i've heard it buggy?
[04:52] <ConstyXIV> ive never tried to use dual monitors, i use mostly laptops anyways
[04:52] <_bman|> && FF loaded a page.
[04:52] <Steven07> haha
[04:52] <Steven07> alright
[04:52] <_bman|> =)
[04:52] <|Shadow|> ConstyXIV heh, dual monitors is one of my main things
[04:53] <|Shadow|> because im learning perl, so i have the scripts editor on one screen and a tutorial on the other.
[04:53] <_bman|> one more question, lol..
[04:53] <emo> _bman|: cool well done man at least works but you should know cons you might have the same problem another time.
[04:53] <_bman|> what folder would I use as my.. " folder I put all my stuff in"
[04:53] <Steven07> So everyone here has ubuntu
[04:53] <ConstyXIV> |Shadow|: i think gnome is crappy with twin displays, you may want to try kde
[04:54] <ForgeAus> ahh about usb sticks do you want to run ubuntu from it or just install?
[04:54] <ForgeAus> you can make a minimal CD and just copy packages to that...
[04:54] <|Shadow|> ConstyXIV does kde just support twin displays?
[04:54] <|Shadow|> or do i have to do all this crap in terminal and xorg.conf to make it work
[04:54] <ForgeAus> 8.4mb is all it takes
[04:54] <Guychi> Is there any way to reset the root password if it is forgotten?
[04:54] <ConstyXIV> |Shadow|: im really not sure
[04:54] <|Shadow|> well i suppose i can give it a go
[04:54] <_bman|> what folder would I use as my.. " folder I put all my stuff in"
[04:54] <|Shadow|> how do i install kde?
[04:54] <ForgeAus> mini.iso file
[04:54] <_bman|> ?

[05:03] <Gorlis1> and it asks me to install "fusemb" through the Synaptic Package Manager
[05:03] <Gorlis1> yet I can find it....
[05:03] <webben> is it possible to check what package a particular file installed is in
[05:03] <webben> (i think it's not in an official package)
[05:03] <ForgeAus> Boy, you need a window decorator
[05:03] <Dimensions> Hiya i have two systems both are on LAN one is having Linux other is having XP which i dont need how do i clone Linux on the Second computer do i have to format first or only can do with usb HD or what ??
[05:04] <ForgeAus> like aquamarine or emryld
[05:04] <ForgeAus> (they're addons to beryl)
[05:04] <_Andrew> you need to use "sudo"
[05:04] <gop> ForgeAus,  but if you run ubuntu from usb key it is live cd format when rebooted it reset
[05:04] <ForgeAus> I think aquamarine lets you use kde ones, not sure about gnome
[05:04] <macsim> I got this message when I start a appli on term "GTK Accessibility Module initialized" anybody knows where it comes from ?
[05:04] <legendary> man
[05:05] <ForgeAus> gop? really?
[05:05] <legendary> can't you guys help me?
[05:05] <ForgeAus> how come?
[05:05] <legendary> i'd really want some -.-
[05:05] <gop> ForgeAus,  so your saying I can install minmal
[05:05] <gop> install on a usb stick
[05:05] <gop> yea I tryed
[05:05] <_Andrew> :D
[05:06] <gop> the ubuntu hack to get on usb bootable
[05:06] <Gorlis1> hmm i enabled Community Maintained Open Source Software through the Repository window
[05:06] <ForgeAus> why not?... it prolly won't work as a live CD that way
[05:06] <gop> but it ran like a live cd
[05:06] <Gorlis1> still fusemb fails to appear
[05:06] <legendary> :(
[05:06] <ForgeAus> but you should b able to use that to boot and install a fresh distro
[05:06] <legendary> can't any one help?
[05:06] <gop> ForgeAus,  yea becuase the hack version is it has a compress ufs file system
[05:06] <gop> that uncompress to memory
[05:06] <Klesk> hey
[05:06] <Gorlis1> ignore that
[05:06] <ForgeAus> a ramdisk.. yeah
[05:06] <Gorlis1> got it :)
[05:06] <gop> I want a means to boot linux as a normal installion from flash key
[05:06] <gop> that is
[05:06] <gop> all my files applications settings are saved
[05:07] <gop> like a normal hd
[05:07] <ForgeAus> gop you SHOULD be able to do that
[05:07] <gop> that also is when I reboot
[05:07] <gop> i know http://www.flashlinux.org.uk/ can do that
[05:07] <ForgeAus> ooh files application settings thats not easy
[05:07] <gop> but it gentoo
[05:07] <ForgeAus> yeah
[05:07] <ForgeAus> still you should be able to use minimal to do that...
[05:07] <gop> see applications installed get delted when you reboot as it a ram disk
[05:07] <ForgeAus> (not sure if minimal is bootable
[05:07] <ForgeAus> but if you can make it bootable (grub to it)
[05:08] <ForgeAus> and boot off it in text mode, install X and whatever packages you want.. and you got a bootable Ubuntu... right?
[05:08] <gop> ForgeAus,  I read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB#Types_of_Live-USB
[05:08] <ForgeAus> in theory anywya
[05:08] <gop> in thoery yes
[05:08] <legendary> so why am i not having a panel at the bottom of my screen like i used to have?
[05:08] <gop> thier two kinds of live usb
[05:08] <legendary> what should i do?
[05:08] <ForgeAus> gop, try it see what happens
[05:08] <gop> ForgeAus,  tomrrow
[05:08] <goldeagle> I'm with a problem dependencies in my pthon .... I have old version and new versions ..  I do dist-upgrade for change to edgy from dapper ... I need help for fix problems, please
[05:08] <gop> after work I will
[05:08] <gop> The first type of Live-USB was created by simply taking the ISO image file from a Live-CD distribution and placing it on USB storage device and then making it bootab
[05:08] <Pulsewidth> How can I quickly find the byte offset of all occurrences of a binary string within a 80GB binary file? grep only returns the approximate location
[05:09] <Loady> goldeagle: hey. try dplg -l | grep -i python
[05:09] <depinko> hi guys, I have a problem, when I logi n ubuntu the mouse, netword card, graphic,..not works...yesterday everything worked well and I have no idea what can be the problem? any ideas?
[05:09] <gop> ForgeAus,  that would rock go to any pc and have my ubuntu distro
[05:09] <gop> booted
[05:09] <linopil> sound was already OK but wont satrt on new restart what am I missing ?
[05:09] <legendary> How can i enable back my bottom bar? help would be appreciated
[05:09] <gop> ForgeAus,  that would rock go to any pc and have my ubuntu distro  hmm
[05:09] <gop> the second type of Live-USB is closely related to a traditional operating system hard drive install with minor modifications like the elimination of swap partitions and files.
[05:09] <xhaan> Pulsewidth, hex editor?
[05:09] <LjL> Pulsewidth: the -b option doesn't report it accurately?
[05:09] <gop> see I want the second type
[05:09] <ForgeAus> hmmm gop.. go here
[05:09] <golabek> join #ubuntu-pl na irc.freenode.net ||

[05:09] <gop> Compressed format allows for many applications in a small storage container.
[05:10] <ForgeAus> I know its KUBUNTU but shouldn't be much differetn for ubuntu
[05:10] <Loady> goldeagle: does the output show you many diffrent versions?
[05:10] <gop> hmm ncluding the LiveCDPersistence feature
[05:10] <ForgeAus> just make sure you mount it as rw :)
[05:10] <ForgeAus> so you can save files to it and stuff

[05:11] <ubotu> golabek: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[05:11] <ForgeAus> gop you install applications onto it AFTER
[05:12] <ForgeAus> (an option for ro can be good too)
[05:12] <gop> hmm
[05:12] <golabek> thx
[05:12] <ForgeAus> depends on who you want booting into it
[05:12] <gop> That's it. Now you should have a bootable USB key with the latest version of Kubuntu Dapper on it. My end result is a USB key with 230 files, 43 folders and occupying 608 MB (637,798,407 bytes) on the 1 GB USB key. There's about 367 MB of free space in the second partition for storing custom settings using the LiveCDPersistence feature.
[05:12] <gop> oh so it will have rw
[05:12] <ForgeAus> yes rw so you can install afterwards
[05:12] <gop> and even if I reboot
[05:12] <ForgeAus> no need to use just static distro
[05:12] <gop> the software stays
[05:12] <ForgeAus> yes
[05:12] <ForgeAus> its not ram
[05:13] <LjL> depinko: tail /var/log/dpkg.log
[05:13] <_Andrew> Don't you need about a 3 gig swap drive?
[05:13] <ForgeAus> its flashdisk
[05:13] <zyth> ssh is port 22 yes?
[05:13] <gop> oh wow, becuase the others one I tryed where ram loaded in flash
[05:13] <ForgeAus> um btw.. you probably want to use ubuntu feisty or edgy instead of dapper...
[05:13] <_Andrew> ehh partition not drive
[05:13] <LjL> zyth: grep ssh /etc/services
[05:13] <gop> ForgeAus,  and feisty why
[05:13] <ForgeAus> gop... I know... its ok... just try it
[05:13] <_bman|> I downloaded xchat for linux.. how do I run this program, lol?
[05:13] <zyth> oh I need UDP opened on my firewall too maybe
[05:13] <zyth> that might explain my issue
[05:13] <ForgeAus> doesn't have to be feisty, I'd recommed edgy over dapper tho
[05:13] <gop> ForgeAus,  I will
[05:14] <LjL> _bman|: from the menu. or type "xchat" i guess
[05:14] <gop> hmm
[05:14] <ForgeAus> oh and note instead of kubuntu use ubuntu
[05:14] <ForgeAus> it probably works the same way anyway
[05:14] <lskd-255> bman, uhh, you're on an irc channel, maybe you already know
[05:14] <ForgeAus> also this will make a ramdisk
[05:14] <LjL> lskd-255: well, i believe that only xchat-gnome is installed by default, and not normal xchat
[05:14] <ForgeAus> but your ROOT will be read-write
[05:15] <UglyBetty> i forgot i tried running ubuntu from my usb hard drive but bios will not allow does this mean that bios will not allow to install it on usb stick
[05:15] <lskd-255> bman, I had to load an irc client and chose xchat :)  three out of four mothers select xchat for their children's online chat experience
[05:15] <ForgeAus> yeah UB some bios's are tocuhy or don't have boot from usb functionality
[05:17] <UglyBetty> has anyone got asus p5b-e motherboard if so does this allow to boot an OS from external hdd
[05:17] <ForgeAus> gop another option is go here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent

[05:18] <Amalia> I have the jre enviroment installed on ubuntu but its still not working. can anyone help me out?
[05:20] <joeljkp> how does add/remove packages relate to synaptic?
[05:20] <LjL> joeljkp: it is based on the same framework as Synaptic
[05:20] <joeljkp> i'm confused why some things appear in one and not the other
[05:20] <ForgeAus> um what is casper anyway?
[05:21] <lskd-255> joeljkp, I'm not sure why that's there myself.  aptitude is better at dependency issues
[05:21] <gord> a friendly ghost
[05:21] <ForgeAus> rofl gord
[05:21] <gnomefreak> casper is what the livecd is based on
[05:21] <IdleOne> Amalia: not sure what you mean by it doesnt work but you probably want to install sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-plugin
[05:21] <ForgeAus> gnomefreak so its not needed in your HDD install?
[05:21] <_Andrew> I think add/remove is suppose to be for programs only to make it easier for novices
[05:21] <gnomefreak> ForgeAus: no
[05:21] <visik7> is there a deb for second life ?
[05:22] <joeljkp> LjL: yeah, but why can't you do the same things in each?
[05:22] <gnomefreak> _Andrew: it is it also uses gnome-app-install
[05:22] <Amalia> ohh I don't think I installed the plugin, thank you.
[05:22] <gnomefreak> joeljkp: you can iirc
[05:23] <LjL> joeljkp: because they're not intended for that. Add/Remove apps is intended to showcase "user-visible" applications, possibly including those from Universe and the commercial repositories. Synaptic only ever shows whatever is in your sources.list, and it shows *all* of it, including low-level libraries and stuff
[05:23] <lskd-255> add/remove is there so the older sibling can yell at the younger

[05:34] <UglyBetty> can you use p2p software on linux
[05:34] <dyrne> Jelloman: no i meant boot from cd. then edit the file on hard disk from the cd. knoppix maybe if you dont have the ubuntu livecd

[05:35] <Xif> err, s/Xif//

[05:35] <ubotu> mon^rch: 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.

[05:36] <Xif> _Andrew: yeah, but there I see stuff like "Application font: Serif". So I can change the "Application font", but my goal is to change the value of Serif. (if that makes sense.
[05:37] <winston> afternoon all
[05:37] <UglyBetty> hi
[05:38] <IdleOne> Xif: you want to change the font size?
[05:38] <Luc1> Led-Hed: :-) Thanks for screen-saver. I did't see that button in the setting-manager, because I have small resolution. I had to move the windows. :-)
[05:38] <Xif> IdleOne: not exactly. What I'm asking is whether there is a specific meta value called "Serif"
[05:39] <distro-tester> hello
[05:39] <IdleOne> Xif: no idea sorry
[05:39] <citybird> hello. how do i check what version of postfix is installed??
[05:39] <Xif> IdleOne: thanks anyway.
[05:39] <_Andrew> You want to replace the font?
[05:40] <IdleOne> citybird: postfix version
[05:40] <citybird> IdleOne: i  have not configured it yet. is there a way for apt-get to tell me?
[05:40] <Xif> _Andrew: What I thought was that there is a specific definition for "Sans". I.e., currently "Application font" points to "Sans" which points to e.g. BT Vera

[05:42] <bobovski> hi all. is there a repository to get mplayer and plugins for firefox?
[05:42] <Pici> citybird : try dpkg-query -s postfix
[05:42] <B3N> use automatix
[05:42] <IdleOne> citybird: use the -V option it should show you package version
[05:42] <pbureau> whats the bot web site for pasting problems ?
[05:42] <lskd-255> maybe try typing sudo gnome-panel in a terminal
[05:42] <appelza> anyone paste me the link to all the different ubuntu install howtos?
[05:42] <Pici> !automatic | B3N
[05:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:42] <lskd-255> see if it kicks in
[05:42] <Pici> !automatix | B3N
[05:42] <ubotu> B3N: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[05:44] <bobovski> what do I have to put in my sources.list to access multiverse?

[05:44] <B3N> if you check the ubuntu forum, you see will its not such a uncommon occurrence
[05:44] <citybird> IdleOne: i used dpkg-query -s postfix since i dont have a main.cf file postfix always gives an error.
[05:45] <bobovski> ah, I see

[05:45] <B3N> well i have conky running so i no whichs do it, sometimes its amarok, sometimes its firefox-bin or it could be amsn, ive seen it on the xgl process before as well

[05:46] <Lars_G> I came here :( ah well wish me luck
[05:46] <dyrne> chris1932: well it would mean new config files would be created when it launched so desktop shortcuts might dissapear. basically the desktop will be reset to default i believe. but im not too familiar with gnome
[05:46] <goldeagle> I use edgy ... I do apt-get distu-upgrade but the python is lost, problems with dependencies ... I need a help
[05:46] <hitammanis> genii: what instruction did you follow
[05:46] <variant> anyone used ghemical? it's incredable.. any chemistry studends would LOVE it.. supports 3d glasses as well for reall 3d effect
[05:46] <lskd-255> lars, best of luck bro!!
[05:46] <LjL> B3N: then the reasons are those processes. and they're likely unrelated. Xgl surely is a very experimental thing that is bound to create weird behaviors - as for the other programs, you'll have to debug the problems individually.
[05:47] <Lars_G> is there a better way to force a general/network  up in /etc/network/interfaces other than adding it to the last listed IF?
[05:47] <Lars_G> lskd-255: lol, thanks man
[05:47] <lskd-255> :)
[05:47] <Lars_G> lskd-255: I should've gone to #debian but if they found out I use ubuntu I'd be skinned alive
[05:47] <Xif> My display seems slow. How can I know if I'm running the most suitable Nvidia driver available?
[05:47] <hitammanis> genii: because that's exactly what I'm trying to do
[05:47] <chris1932> dyrne, LjL: I do have a bunch of rc files that start with "g". Maybe I'll find the specific one.
[05:47] <genii> hitammanis: None. I plugged in the usbdrive, then installed 6.06 server (no gui) to sda then did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:48] <bobovski> thanks for all the help!
[05:48] <B3N> @LjL ok thanks for your help, ill do abit more research

[05:50] <genii> hitammanis: So long as you have a cdrom drive and your computer lets you boot from usb devices all you have to do is boot to the alternate install cd. Then install the basic install to the usb drive (in my case it was seen as /dev/sda). then boot to the drive after

[05:51] <Xif> If my xorg.conf says 'Driver          "vesa"', that means I don't have the Nvidia driver installed, right?
[05:51] <snooplsm> can anyone point me to an edgy sources.list?
[05:51] <snooplsm> for openssh?
[05:51] <genii> Xif Correct
[05:51] <Xif> genii: I tried installing it with Easy Ubuntu. Now I can't get it to work the way the tutorial wants.
[05:52] <genii> Xif Well, there is a general tutorial for changing your drivers manually.
[05:52] <bcrowe> look at /etc /apt /sources.lists
[05:52] <genii> !nvidia | Xif
[05:52] <ubotu> Xif: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:52] <Xif> genii: the tutorial says to do "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" returns -> Error: your X configuration has been altered.

[05:53] <pbureau> problem with an RT2561/RT61 Wireless Card - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3465/ anyone ?
[05:54] <genii> Xif If you are certain you have installed the nvidia driver correctly, change the driver name in xorg.conf to read nvidia    then do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:54] <draco> tach :)
[05:55] <winston> backup your xorg.conf first :)
[05:55] <genii> Xif *sudo* dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:55] <Xif> genii: /me tries
[05:56] <genii> hitammanis: If you have an older motherboard that maybe does not support booting from a usb device it could be a headache to get going

[05:56] <Xif> genii: ^
[05:56] <aroc> hello
[05:56] <Xif> should I apt-get it?
[05:56] <genii> No it should be part of standard install
[05:56] <lskd-255> beryl-project has a sweet script to load everything, nvidia driver and the works
[05:57] <Xif> genii: I'm on Dapper 6.06.1 LTS
[05:57] <aroc> alguien ke hable spanish
[05:57] <genii> sorry I spelled it incorrectly LOL dpkg not dkpg
[05:57] <Pici> Xif : the command is dpkg-reconfiguer
[05:57] <dyrne> Xif: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and then choose whatever driver you want vesa is generic nvidia i guess is what you want in this case
[05:57] <Pici> well, dpkg, I misspelt the rest of it

[06:01] <ConstyXIV> |Shadow|: still trying to work your twin monitors?
[06:01] <dyrne> Xif: either alt-ctrl-backspace or type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   you need x to restart to read new config file

[06:01] <ForgeAus> none

[06:02] <ForgeAus> whats that about?

[06:02] <mooky> snooplsm another package refers to it
[06:02] <coNP> ForgeAus: sorry, do you want to know what is a socket?
[06:02] <dyrne> Led-Hed: not right now but it would be good to know
[06:03] <Pici> snooplsm : perhaps openssh-server is in a repository that you dont have access to?

[06:03] <snooplsm> Pici, I added every repository
[06:03] <ForgeAus> coNP um not sure exactly...
[06:03] <snooplsm> i'm using edgy, can that be the case
[06:03] <genii> hitammanis: I/O error usually means some hardware issue. could be your drive is full. Or has some bad areas now
[06:03] <ForgeAus> whats a file thats of socket type about ?
[06:03] <K1GPL> there must be some trick to using remote desktop capabilities that i don't know.  when i try using vino, i get this error:  channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed
[06:03] <ForgeAus> (as opposed to a directory, link, file, etc etc...)
[06:03] <goldeagle> coNP: http://paste.turbogears.org/paste/943
[06:03] <Pici> snooplsm : no, edgy is the most current version, it should be there
[06:03] <jahid> how to run package manager and update it?
[06:04] <snooplsm> do I need to port forward?
[06:04] <K1GPL> i wonder if there is a group i need to join, or what
[06:04] <coNP> ForgeAus: about what? :)

[06:04] <ForgeAus> hmmm ok then whats a socket (I thought it was a network thing)
[06:04] <hitammanis> genii: *its
[06:04] <B3N> do they lag at all when you run from a usb pen drive?
[06:04] <ForgeAus> sontek try VMware instead
[06:04] <ForgeAus> not virtual PC
[06:04] <appelza> I have the ubuntu iso, but no burner..how can I install it?
[06:05] <golabek> msg golabek IDENTIFY diana01
[06:05] <ForgeAus> (or Xen)
[06:05] <sontek> VPC is free
[06:05] <genii> hitammanis: I had to use xubuntu because the regular gnome or KDE installs were larger than 2 Gb. About 2.6 Gb actually.
[06:05] <coNP> goldeagle: what if you run "sudo apt-get install -f" ?
[06:05] <bcrowe> Ubuntu works great under VMWare
[06:05] <mooky> appelza stuck really
[06:05] <ForgeAus> so is VMware server
[06:05] <bcrowe> Yep
[06:05] <appelza> mreh
[06:05] <sontek> and it runs under windows/
[06:05] <ForgeAus> (there are vmware products that aren't free)
[06:05] <ForgeAus> yes so does VMWARE!
[06:05] <ForgeAus> and XEN (can anyway)
[06:05] <bcrowe> http://www.vmware.com/products/free_virtualization.html
[06:05] <steego> is it somehow possible to throttle internet traffic, without disturbing local traffic?
[06:05] <Pici> snooplsm : what happens if you do apt-get install openssh-server?
[06:05] <michaelpo> mooky: ok.. sorry.. what is the hardware #?
[06:05] <ForgeAus> I know because I used it
[06:05] <LjL> ForgeAus: and virtualbox
[06:06] <ForgeAus> (vmware server was awesome for my sandbox kubuntu install)
[06:06] <bcrowe> and http://virtualbox.org/
[06:06] <mooky> michaelpo you're asking questions about hardware options - nothing to do with ubuntu
[06:06] <goldeagle> coNP: sudo apt-get install -f, before error: normal, zero packages in all ...... later more errors
[06:06] <hitammanis> genii: so is this tutorial false http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1229101&postcount=158
[06:06] <ForgeAus> yeah virtualbox is another one
[06:06] <LjL> !virtualizers
[06:06] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[06:06] <ForgeAus> lotsa virtualization products
[06:06] <Akuma_> anyone knows of a readable list of changes in feisty?
[06:06] <Pici> steego : trickle can help you throttle specific processes
[06:06] <genii> hitammanis: One moment and I'll look at it
[06:06] <LjL> Akuma_: define "readable"
[06:06] <ForgeAus> now all I need is an osx86 to try :)
[06:06] <mooky> Akuma_ its constantly changing
[06:06] <LjL> !feisty | Akuma_
[06:06] <ubotu> Akuma_: 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
[06:06] <LjL> here's the specs
[06:06] <michaelpo> mooky: i just deleted winxp and installed ubuntu... does that give me some linux newbie points?
[06:07] <mooky> no
[06:07] <steego> Pici, i'll have a look, thanks
[06:07] <Xif> dyrne: (and the rest of the people who helped me) all I needed to do was to change the value from "vesa" to "nvidia"
[06:07] <ForgeAus> I think VirtualPC is based around Windows guests
[06:07] <Akuma_> LjL: not changelogs.ubuntu.com =)
[06:07] <michaelpo> mooky: haha.. ok.. thanks.. sorry...
[06:07] <ForgeAus> I'm not sure how well it works with non-windows guest systems
[06:07] <ForgeAus> I know VMware definitely works
[06:07] <Vandalay> vmware is best
[06:07] <LjL> Akuma_: well, the specs will be more readable than that. they won't say a thing about new versions of packages, however, just infrastructural changes and additions
[06:07] <ForgeAus> but feel free to try others
[06:07] <Vandalay> mb..
[06:07] <LjL> !best
[06:07] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[06:07] <bcrowe> me too, I had Ubuntu and SLED10 running in VMs on an XP notebook
[06:08] <Akuma_> LjL: thats why i'm mostly interested in though. superficial info. thanks
[06:08] <ardeni> how can i register my nick?
[06:08] <bcrowe> flawless, and even better in full screen
[06:08] <ForgeAus> Vandalay I'd agree currently but I wouldn't sledge VirtualBox or Xen because I havn't tried th em
[06:08] <coNP> ForgeAus: a socket is something like a bidirectonal pipe, it supports communication between processes
[06:08] <LjL> Ubotu, tell ardeni about register | ardeni, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:08] <Vandalay> xen should be good 2
[06:08] <ForgeAus> coNP.. oohhh kay... but whats that got to do with a file?
[06:09] <genii> hitammanis: In that example all they are doing is installing the livecd boot of casper to the pendrive. This means the system is really running in RAM. So you are running out of "hd" space for / is your basic issue.
[06:09] <coNP> ForgeAus: there can be named sockets in unix filesystems (like block / character devices, named pipes, etc.)
[06:09] <ForgeAus> I mean why have a file of type socket?
[06:10] <ForgeAus> hmmm ... is it safe to delete one from /tmp ?
[06:10] <genii> hitammanis: I would suggest to do an actual install of the minimalist server version, then run xfce ubuntu (xubuntu)
[06:10] <coNP> ForgeAus: which exactly?
[06:10] <LjL> ForgeAus: why? /tmp is wiped at every reboot anyway
[06:10] <milestone> hi all
[06:10] <ForgeAus> LjL not on my filesystem it doesn't seem to be
[06:10] <ForgeAus> its called mapping-<username>
[06:10] <milestone> i have a servercluster set up with drbd and heartbeat.
[06:10] <ForgeAus> (in my case forge)
[06:10] <milestone> there is a virtual ip address which is shared between servers
[06:11] <K1GPL> uh oh.  i have found my problem, and it is me.
[06:11] <ForgeAus> wait that might be computername ...
[06:11] <K1GPL> amazing how well a firewall will work, whether you forget about it or not.
[06:11] <LjL> ForgeAus: well, not knowing what it is, i'd not consider it safe to delete it
[06:11] <tim1> hi all
[06:11] <ForgeAus> its a socket
[06:11] <ForgeAus> of 0 bytes filesize
[06:11] <bcrowe> K1GPL, good find
[06:12] <ForgeAus> (but that is probably typical of sockets is it?
[06:12] <coNP> ForgeAus: it is
[06:12] <LjL> ForgeAus: being a socket that's not quite surprising... i still don't know what it *is* though
[06:12] <bcrowe> Sometimes it IS an easy fix...
[06:12] <ForgeAus> well its not like I can see whats in it
[06:12] <milestone> now my problem is that i am trying to cionfigure a failover for a radius server and the NAS Servers expect the answer from the same server as the one he sent it too
[06:12] <LjL> ForgeAus: why delete it, anyway?
[06:12] <ForgeAus> becuase you can't mcedit it!
[06:12] <mooky> Does anyone have advice on trouble shooting cups network printing
[06:12] <ForgeAus> LjL good point
[06:12] <Pici> ForgeAus : Why delete if its not taking up any space and you dont know what it does?
[06:12] <milestone> but now the server answers of his fixed ip address is there a way to force the server to answer on the virtual ip?
[06:12] <coNP> ForgeAus: there is nothing "in it"
[06:12] <Xif> What's a good IRC client for Ubuntu?  XChat?
[06:12] <ForgeAus> I'm better off looking for whats really the problem
[06:13] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Xif about irc | Xif, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:13] <ForgeAus> coNP its just an address-space right?
[06:13] <pbureau> mooky- I read what you posted, did you install it using the :631 browser view ?
[06:13] <rebelfallen> Guys big problem. I moved, and my computer was unplugged for about a month. I plugged it in, and everything booted fine.

[06:13] <tim1> is ubuntu off topic still alive ?
[06:13] <ForgeAus> that it attaches to?
[06:13] <bcrowe> anyone else from Indiana?

[06:13] <LjL> tim1: join and see?

[06:14] <hitammanis> genii: could you give a lost soul a hand, as you cann see I'm a newbie and completely clueless this this
[06:14] <coNP> FordPrefect: it is a possibility for processes that "do not know each other" to communicate
[06:14] <LjL> tim1: try with two "f"'s
[06:14] <tim1> its very lonely place
[06:14] <LjL> tim1: it's #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:14] <coNP> sorry, FordPrefect, I meant ForgeAus
[06:14] <pbureau> mooky- I had that problem, I removed i and reinstalled it from cups web page thingie and it fixed my problem you may want to try that is it a network or usb printer?
[06:14] <bcrowe> hit: once you get it setup, what do you plan to do with it?
[06:14] <ForgeAus> hehe damn tab key? lol
[06:14] <pbureau> Problem with an Airlink AWLC3026T (RT2561/RT61) Wireless Card - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3465/ anyone ?
[06:14] <bcrowe> Are you comfortable using it?
[06:14] <mooky> pbureau its a usb printer, happy to try it
[06:15] <pbureau> mooky- I would....worth a shot
[06:15] <mooky> agreed
[06:15] <ForgeAus> anyway I think I might try resetting and see what, if any error I get when trying to boot (or at least where it gets to)
[06:15] <mooky> funny, such a basic thing and I've not tried it
[06:15] <zbadone> just update to edgy, have an older Nvidia Ti4200-64M,   trying to get Beryl up, I think I need to use legacy driver for Nvidia, HOWTO?
[06:15] <bcrowe> Mooky, is it a Lexmark?
[06:15] <ForgeAus> cya soon... I think...
[06:15] <coNP> ForgeAus: it is sure you won't
[06:15] <mooky> bcrowe no a fully supported hp 5600
[06:15] <bcrowe> I had a hard time with a Lexmark.
[06:15] <rebelfallen> no one?
[06:15] <all-star6> anyone able to help cant get edgy to connect to wired network
[06:15] <bcrowe> nice
[06:15] <Egyptian[Home] > hi .. i m trying to burn the desktop iso but it keeps stopping at 6% with an error .. "try tao burning" and even that doesnt work ..waht gives?
[06:15] <mooky> pbureau ahhh here we go, if I click any options on the printer I get "403 forbidden"
[06:16] <pbureau> mooky-  AHA !
[06:16] <mooky> pbureau are you aware of any logging or the dir that tha printing daemon gets its content
[06:16] <all-star6> anyone able to help cant get edgy to connect to wired network
[06:16] <pbureau> mooky- dunno... I am wondering why you getting a 403 message on cups web interface though
[06:16] <mooky> pbureau agreed
[06:17] <variant> all-star6: is it dhcp or fixed ip?
[06:17] <pbureau> mooky did you get it removed ?
[06:17] <genii> hitammanis: Unfortunately I have not a lot of time for this today, as I have my own problems to resolve. But basically, the method is: Get the iso file for the alternate install cdrom. Then burn the cdrom and boot up to it. Then install the basic system from that. This will give you a command-line install of ubuntu on the pen drive. Then from command-line do: sudo apt-get update && sudo...
[06:17] <genii> ...apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:17] <mooky> pbureau I wonder if the webserver owner has to be in the lp group as the device is /dev/lp0
[06:17] <all-star6> variant - tried both
[06:17] <mooky> pbureau no, can't remove it as its "403"
[06:17] <variant> Elektrochelovek: is that windows or linux?
[06:17] <pbureau> mooky- maybe you dont have rightsto print to it
[06:17] <Elektrochelovek> linux
[06:17] <_bman|> linux is great.
[06:17] <variant> all-star6: so it
[06:17] <variant> all-star6: so its a router your connecting to?
[06:18] <mooky> pbureau well, running as root I get a job idea when I submit to /etc/lp but nothing comes out to fthe printer
[06:18] <mooky> root is the owner of the device so that should be fine
[06:18] <Elektrochelovek> -Elektrochelovek- VERSION xchat 2.6.6 Ubuntu
[06:18] <all-star6> variant: yes
[06:18] <variant> Elektrochelovek: possibly your cdrwriter is borked, the blank cd's are crap or the iso is corrupt
[06:18] <pbureau> mooky remove the printer from usb, and try to remove it in cups
[06:18] <variant> all-star6: enable the router for dhcp and then on ubuntu run sudo dhclient eth0
[06:18] <zbadone> just update to edgy, have an older Nvidia Ti4200-64M,   trying to get Beryl up, I think I need to use legacy driver for Nvidia, HOWTO?
[06:18] <variant> all-star6: assuming the ethernet port your using is eth0
[06:18] <mooky> pbureau just tried it, all the admin control in the web console is 403
[06:18] <josh_> how do i turn on the color coding for vim?
[06:18] <Elektrochelovek> but cat /proc/sys/bus/shit/bull/rfcomm says there it is a cdrom
[06:19] <hitammanis> genii: Thanks, I'll give it a try
[06:19] <jrib> josh_: :syntax on
[06:19] <variant> Elektrochelovek: what?
[06:19] <pbureau> mooky- humm... chmod /dev/lp0 ?
[06:19] <blue_flashlight> has anyone installed ubuntu on a NewWorld pismo G3 ? following the wiki with edgy, the openfirmware says "unrecognized Client Program format"
[06:19] <pbureau> mook grin
[06:19] <Hamled> what is the command to see how much physical memory is being used?
[06:19] <josh_> what about autotab?
[06:19] <genii> hitammanis: I will be around to possibly assist, but not a whole lot
[06:19] <zbadone> free
[06:19] <josh_> or a formatted autotab
[06:19] <variant> Elektrochelovek: yeah, sure there is, but possibly one or the other or both are not working correctly
[06:19] <Hamled> thanks
[06:19] <mooky> pbureau I see where you where going with that, but it looks like the cups web daemon either doesn't have permissions to show the pages or the devices, the cups web interface is running as cupsys which is in the "lp" group - the device is read-write by the lp group
[06:19] <hitammanis> genii: cool
[06:20] <rachel__> is pismo newworld?
[06:20] <tim1> is there a channel for graphic card drivers ?
[06:20] <mooky> pbureau crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2007-01-26 17:10 /dev/lp0
[06:20] <pbureau> mooky- change it :)
[06:20] <mooky> tim1 there is #nvidia
[06:20] <mooky> pbureau to what ?
[06:20] <W9ZEB-Lars> If I need to edit an application launcher in the menu to use sudo, how would I go about doing that?
[06:20] <jrib> josh_: not sure what you mean
[06:20] <W9ZEB-Lars> ie, wifi-assistant requires root privs.
[06:20] <cappiz> someone knows of an application that would change the filename of mp3 files to what the id3-tag says?
[06:20] <Rprp>   BBking`w`e`g ChanServ Duiv Eggdrop Global MemoServ NickServ OperServ Rprp Scusio Wesleysld
[06:20] <variant> W9ZEB-Lars: well you would add gksudo not sudo for a start
[06:20] <josh_> where tab = 4 spaces
[06:20] <josh_> or 5 or 37
[06:21] <zbadone> howdo I stop upgrade from installing newer nvidia modules?
[06:21] <tim1> mooky:i see i have a readon 9550 its very slow
[06:21] <appelza> whats the diff between root=/dev/rd/0 and root=/dev/ram0 ?
[06:21] <josh_> whatever i decide to make it
[06:21] <zbadone> I need to use legacy modules
[06:21] <fbc> Need to fix update manager. I keep getting a message that is damaged, and I need to run "sudo dpkg install -f" but I've run ut several times already but it does not fix the problem.. Is there some directory I can delete to restart it?
[06:21] <pbureau> mooky- humm I dont see why lp woudl not permit you to print to it... weird
[06:21] <W9ZEB-Lars> variant: easy enough.  just replace the launcher that says wirelessassistant with a line that says gksudo wirelessassistant?
[06:21] <variant> W9ZEB-Lars: correct
[06:21] <mooky> pbureau agreed, I'm worried why the web interface is pulling up 403's
[06:21] <jrib> josh_: :he 'expandtab
[06:21] <lounge> can anyone offer an opinion on why my printer would go from printing a text page fine, to just speeding up the fan a bit when told to print and no printing?
[06:22] <pbureau> mooky- for giggles chmod it 777 to see (I know its wide open but its a printer port afterall)
[06:22] <W9ZEB-Lars> variant: Danke
[06:22] <josh_> ?
[06:22] <Jelloman> guys
[06:22] <Jelloman> i need help booting ubuntu
[06:22] <mooky> pbureau yes thats fine
[06:22] <variant> W9ZEB-Lars: var sa god
[06:22] <Jelloman> i tried booting from the disc
[06:22] <Jelloman> but it goes to the part with install
[06:22] <lounge> I've installed it all in a different place. Is this because it doesn't like it here?!"?!"
[06:22] <Jelloman> not my partition of linux
[06:22] <jrib> josh_: or  :he 'tabstop  depending on what you mean...
[06:22] <Jelloman> help
[06:22] <idefix> register!
[06:22] <idefix> !register
[06:22] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[06:22] <josh_> well tab goes to far over
[06:22] <josh_> i would like the tab to only go 4 whitespaces
[06:23] <all-star6> variant: just get a load of DHCPDISCOVER messages then no DHCPOFFERS received
[06:23] <jrib> josh_: yeah, read those 2 docs
[06:23] <josh_> and how do i turn on colored syntax for my terminal?
[06:23] <variant> all-star6: your sure it's plugged in
[06:23] <variant> ?
[06:23] <ForgeAus> I fixed it!
[06:23] <Jelloman> Help meeeee
[06:23] <ForgeAus> all it was was my menu.lst had been edited so that it booted in ro instead of rw
[06:23] <variant> all-star6: do you have more than one NIC in the pc?
[06:23] <jrib> josh_: you mean outside of vim?
[06:23] <ForgeAus> (ie it was working fine just under a read-only filesystem!
[06:24] <josh_> yes
[06:24] <josh_> please and thank you
[06:24] <jrib> josh_: what terminal are you using?
[06:24] <josh_> bash
[06:24] <josh_> i believe
[06:24] <jrib> josh_: that's your shell
[06:24] <rachel__> hm xchat-gnome seems a bit braindead
[06:24] <jrib> josh_: gnome-terminal?
[06:24] <all-star6> variant: yes one wired one wireless
[06:24] <przemo> Jest ktos z Polski??
[06:24] <eternal_p> afternoon all...I am just wondering if there is a news ticker available, or something like google desktop for ubuntu (for rss feeds, but not a program)
[06:24] <rachel__> can't specivy server port
[06:24] <Pici> !pl | przemo
[06:24] <ubotu> przemo: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[06:24] <rachel__> specify even
[06:24] <josh_> oh, well right now its thru putty... i have both gnome and kde terminals
[06:25] <variant> all-star6: you sure the router is set to offer dhcp and is not set to restrict connections by MAC address?
[06:25] <jrib> josh_: well a google search for "bash color prompt" should give you some examples.  I don't know if you need to do anything special in putty
[06:25] <coNP> eternal_p: not a program? you want rss feeds about ubuntu? or something that puts rss feeds on your desktop?
[06:25] <all-star6> variant: yes it works in windows using DHCP
[06:25] <eternal_p> coNP: rss feeds on my desktop
[06:25] <eternal_p> kind of like a CNN'ish scrolling news ticker
[06:25] <abstrcrndm> does anyone here use Amarok on GNOME?
[06:25] <variant> all-star6: what does ifconfig eth0 say (pastebin it)
[06:25] <eternal_p> I know there is one for gdesklets, but it always gives me an error when I try and use it
[06:25] <coNP> abstrcrndm: me
[06:25] <jrib> !anyone | abstrcrndm
[06:25] <ubotu> abstrcrndm: 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?
[06:26] <variant> abstrcrndm: yeah me, it's nice
[06:26] <pbureau> eternal_p- checl http://www.freshmeat.net/ sure they have some ticket rss feed for gnome there
[06:26] <eternal_p> pbureau: ty
[06:26] <Pooky> When trying to connect wirelessly, I consistently get dhcp failures mutliple times before I finally connect, any suggestions?
[06:26] <coNP> eternal_p: gdesklets might has some desklet for this
[06:27] <eternal_p> coNP: it does, but whenever I place it, the code gives me errors everywhere
[06:27] <abstrcrndm> have you been able to get the global shortcuts to work for amarok in gnome?
[06:27] <coNP> eternal_p: okay, sorry
[06:28] <coNP> abstrcrndm: yep
[06:28] <abstrcrndm> aka..when it doesnt have focus
[06:28] <eternal_p> <pbureau: lol the only one is a paid version....:)
[06:28] <coNP> abstrcrndm: yep, sure
[06:28] <abstrcrndm> any idea what i'm doing wrong?
[06:28] <abstrcrndm> or did it just work for you
[06:28] <coNP> abstrcrndm: what key? Edgy / Dapper?
[06:28] <abstrcrndm> edgy
[06:28] <variant> abstrcrndm: what do you mean?
[06:29] <TheShrimp> hello, I have a problem, I got everything working in my ubuntu install on my Desktop, except graphics, and it's not letting me do apt-get commands because that PC currently doesn't have internet (it will in 2 weeks), I can burn stuff to a CD from this laptop and put it on that PC, my gfx card is an ATI Radeon Xpress x200, what can I do?
[06:29] <eternal_p> i liked, just needed better searching :)
[06:29] <pbureau> eternal_p-  :)
[06:29] <coNP> abstrcrndm: it does work for me, both the default keys and special keys (play, pause, etc.) on my keyboard -- after setup
[06:29] <all-star6> variant: fixed disabled ipv6 and it worked
[06:29] <variant> abstrcrndm: it's incredably hard for me to follow what your saying if you don't use my nick at the start of the line. type var and press the TAB key: var<TAB> like that
[06:29] <abstrcrndm> I can't use my next track, previous track shortcuts unless I have the amarok window in focus
[06:29] <pbureau> Problem with an Airlink AWLC3026T (RT2561/RT61) Wireless Card - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3465/ anyone ?
[06:29] <variant> all-star6: excellent, nice one
[06:29] <mooky> pbureau sorry about that my client quit
[06:29] <all-star6> variant: cheers for the help
[06:29] <variant> all-star6: yw
[06:29] <pbureau> mooky- so ?
[06:30] <bauer77> is there a apache room on this IRC
[06:30] <beerman> #apache
[06:30] <bauer77> thanks
[06:30] <variant> bauer77: /join #apache
[06:30] <mooky> pbureau testing
[06:31] <brimondyl> where are the modules put for wireless (ath0)
[06:31] <mooky> pbureau nothing - chmoding it to 777 makes no difference
[06:31] <Jack> can anyone help me with the Ubuntu 6.1 Desktop CD?
[06:31] <variant> !ask | jack
[06:31] <ubotu> jack: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:31] <Xif> Jack: Maybe if you'll ask?
[06:32] <mooky> I don't think its a problem accessing the raw device as if I do an lp I get a job id
[06:32] <pbureau> brimondyl-  what kind of card/chipset ?
[06:32] <ForgeAus> how do I enale swapping to my swap partition?
[06:32] <ForgeAus> do I need it in fstab?
[06:32] <variant> ForgeAus: swapon /dev/swaphere
[06:32] <abstrcrndm> variant: I cant use my previous track/next track shortcuts unless amarok is the window in focus
[06:32] <pbureau> mooky- you got me, weird issue, only thing I can think of is remove cups (complete install) and reinstall it from synaptic and try again
[06:32] <Jack> ok, I have burned the Ubuntu Desktop CD and when i boot it i just get the peachy screen, i can move the moust but nothing happens, any help?
[06:32] <Zapper> How can I enable the terminal split in konqueror? It doesn't appear in the normal location with kubuntu.
[06:33] <variant> ForgeAus: it can be detected and used automatically depending on the boot scripts used but best put it in fstab
[06:33] <mooky> pbureau yeah, seems a bit pointless unless I understand why its failing
[06:33] <zbadone> which nvidia module should I be using fro my card, Nvidia GeForce4 TI-4200-64M?
[06:33] <variant> ForgeAus: /dev/whatever swap auto 0 0
[06:34] <variant> abstrcrndm: sorry mate, i don't use those shortcuts
[06:34] <abstrcrndm> variant: no problem
[06:34] <bcrowe> Jack-any text on the screen at all?
[06:34] <brimondyl> pbureau: its a belkin f5d7010 radlink i think
[06:34] <HymnToLife> quick question, anyone knows a tool to physically check a hadr drive for errors ?
[06:34] <Jack> bcrowe none at all
[06:34] <bcrowe> how about the Ubuntu logo
[06:34] <pbureau> brimondyl-  type lspci look for the card... exactly what is it ?
[06:35] <LjL> HymnToLife: i know smartmontools, however that doesn't *check* anything, it just relies on the information provided by the drive's SMART subsystem
[06:35] <Jack> i get a black screen with orange writing to install/run, check for disk errors etc. and when i choose run it goes peach and then nothing, absolutely nothing
[06:35] <brimondyl> pburea: it works great with fluxbuntu and xubuntu sees it during install then after that it doesnt
[06:35] <pbureau> mooky- could this printer has a login/pwd option set ? I dont see why it would prevent you from printing to lp
[06:35] <Pooky> fluxbuntu?!
[06:35] <mooky> pbureau I'm more worried about why the web interface is showing 403
[06:36] <pbureau> yes 403 is restricted access isnt it ?
[06:36] <mooky> pbureau file not found
[06:36] <pbureau> no 404 is file not foound
[06:37] <mooky> corrected
[06:37] <ForgeAus> fluxbox is a kewl window manager
[06:37] <ForgeAus> light and professional looking
[06:37] <ForgeAus> just not very feature-intensive
[06:37] <ForgeAus> like KDE is
[06:37] <brimondyl> pbeauau: atheros rev 1
[06:37] <ForgeAus> or Gnome
[06:37] <brimondyl> fluxbuntu is great
[06:38] <kaso> Does anyone know why my Software Updater thing is failing to download some of the updates ?
[06:38] <LjL> !offtopic
[06:38] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:38] <pbureau> brimondyl- ath0 indicates an atheros card but which chipset (AR5005G for example is a chipset)
[06:38] <LjL> kaso: perhaps the mirror is updating at this time
[06:38] <LjL> kaso: has this happened for long?
[06:38] <ForgeAus> I don't seem to be able to run adept ...
[06:38] <kaso> its been a couple days, three or for files get 404 / 300 responces
[06:38] <ForgeAus> the updater at least
[06:39] <brimondyl> pbeauau: it just says that then unknow device but im using it right now
[06:39] <LjL> kaso: files, or repositories? does a "sudo apt-get update" give errors?
[06:39] <ForgeAus> oops wrong channel
[06:39] <hitammanis> genii: Are you still here?
[06:39] <graabein> i've been trying to set up multiple x screens with the telly as screen1. it just turns blue... how do i test it? xorg.0.log looks alright
[06:39] <pbureau> brimondyl- ah your in windows ?
[06:39] <kaso> apt-get update  throws some errors too
[06:40] <brimondyl> pbureau: no im running stricktyl fluxbuntu
[06:40] <infinitee> kaso: are you using external repos? do you have the reqd. keys?
[06:40] <shadowhywind> hay all when i look in my boot it says Assembling RAID arrays...  fail, is this a bad thing?
[06:40] <Belboz99> Hey all, I'm having a little problem with Apt and the beryl project repository, it keeps on getting disconnected
[06:41] <pbureau> brimondyl- I would look at the card and see model # to be able to track down the chipset.. (helps tons.. otherwize your shooting in the dark)
[06:41] <kaso> I added some repos following some guide on ubuntuguide's wiki, and the error im getting are : http://www.pastey.net/5711
[06:41] <Ulixes> can anyone tell me what is the packet to let the button lock screen appear??
[06:41] <kaso> Im afraid im not really expert on these
[06:42] <Ulixes> ..
[06:42] <brimondyl> pbureau: ok thanks I just dont get why it works with fluxbuntu and know anything newer
[06:42] <gda_> need help, today edgy doesn't boot anymore
[06:42] <Belboz99> gda_: any error message?
[06:42] <SecrethX> so.. suddenly I cant 'see' my /boot /etc and so on in nautilus, only /home /media and /build :x
[06:42] <MrWamu> I have a question...?
[06:42] <gda_> can't access tty, but no errors befor this
[06:42] <infinitee> kaso: as I said, you have to get the GPG keys to dload.. when you added the repos, there should have been the reqd. asc key
[06:43] <oxygen> hi
[06:43] <oxygen> help me pls
[06:43] <Flannel> !ask
[06:43] <dyrne> Belboz99: on wireless?
[06:43] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:43] <gda_> after this it lands in initramfs
[06:43] <Belboz99> dyrne: on dialup
[06:43] <MrWamu> Whats up Oxy?
[06:43] <dyrne> Belboz99: eww
[06:43] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to compile the 2.6.17 kernel?
[06:43] <hitammanis> Have anyone tried  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1229101&postcount=158 , and http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610
[06:44] <gda_> yesterday I updated udev
[06:44] <spasticteapot> I tried the 2.6.16 kernel, but I think I screwed up compiling it - I want to start over so I can actually reboot.
[06:44] <kaso> infinitee, i think i understand, ill take a look back over what i did, thanks
[06:44] <gda_> maybe this is the problem
[06:44] <Belboz99> dyrne: yeah, I know, it's out of the range of DSL, and Cable is $40 a month, which is out of budget
[06:44] <Xif> What's a good keyboard shortcut to assign to "switch to desktop N"?  Is Ctrl-N (e.g. Ctrl-1) good?
[06:44] <MrWamu> Does anybody know any tags for Totem drivers
[06:44] <brimondyl> pbeaurua: thats why i was wondering if i could just take the module from fluxbuntu and use it int ubuntu
[06:44] <spasticteapot> Little desperate here - if I can't install the correct kernel, I have to reinstall again.
[06:44] <genii> bleh last night's power surge has messed up my connection somehow, keep losing sync today and ghosting or just disconnectine entirely
[06:44] <gda_> I am currently on the machine with knoppix hardware looks okay
[06:44] <spasticteapot> Anyone know how to compile 2.6.17?
[06:44] <LjL> kaso: those repositories just don't exist anymore, most likely
[06:44] <LjL> Ubotu, tell spasticteapot about kernel | spasticteapot, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:44] <Belboz99> gda_: it sounds like a problem with the bootloader
[06:45] <infinitee> kaso: no prob, just make sure you dload the ".asc" file and add the gpg key, then it should work.. though some repos seem to be outdated as per your pastey..
[06:45] <hitammanis> anybody ^
[06:45] <LjL> spasticteapot: if you absolutely need 2.6.17 as opposed to 2.5.15, i suggest you try Edgy instead of Dapper
[06:45] <Belboz99> gda_: or you're probably right udev
[06:45] <kaso> so i should just remove them
[06:45] <gda_> but it has already loaded the initramfs, grub has done its job already
[06:45] <LjL> kaso: i suggest that you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the lines corresponding to those repositories
[06:45] <pbureau> brimondyl- no idea. sorry man
[06:45] <Belboz99> gda_:  you might be able to fix it with the install disk
[06:45] <spasticteapot> I'm on Edgy.
[06:45] <genii> hitammanis: I had a disconnect but am back. What was your last question?
[06:45] <infinitee> kaso: uncomment freecontrib and free.fr and dload the keys for the rest, then apt-get update and dload the s/w
[06:46] <spasticteapot> I'm currently using 2.6.17; I want to custom-compile for the speed boost.
[06:46] <gda_> what does the install disk what knoppix does not?
[06:46] <brimondyl> pbureau: thanks for the help
[06:46] <spasticteapot> Currently, I can afford to reinstall - it's just annoying.
[06:46] <infinitee> kaso: I meant comment not uncomment
[06:46] <Flannel> spasticteapot: you won't get that big of a boost
[06:46] <Flannel> spasticteapot: if any at all
[06:46] <spasticteapot> Flannel: I'll take what I can get.
[06:46] <SecrethX> so.. suddenly I cant 'see' my /boot /etc and so on in nautilus, only /home /media and /build :x does someone know how to get them back? ;o
[06:46] <Jack> Can someone help me with the Ubuntu LiveCD please!!! I'm desperate to try Linux
[06:46] <Jack> When i go to boot everything works fine, i get the black screen with the ubuntu logo and the orange bar scrolling along the bottom, but then when it loads to the peach coloured screen nothing appears, i can move the mouse but clicking does nothing.
[06:46] <pbureau> Problem with an Airlink AWLC3026T (RT2561/RT61) Wireless Card - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3465/ anyone ?
[06:46] <spasticteapot> I heard 2.6.17 runs a little better and has better battery management.
[06:46] <mooky> pbureau just using the cli deleted and re-created the printer - same problem. Searching for the 403 errors on the cups daemons help/man info
[06:46] <LjL> spasticteapot: then you're on your own mostly. there is no real speed boost, and if you read the page the bot has given you, there's some warnings about that.
[06:46] <gda_> I have no install disk I updated from dapper, shit
[06:46] <hitammanis> genii: I have a slow internet, is there a way to do it with the current iso I already have?
[06:47] <spasticteapot> Well, I farked my kernel anyway - what do I do now?
[06:47] <LjL> !language
[06:47] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:47] <pbureau> mooky- you used cli to delete it and used the :631 to create it ?
[06:47] <mooky> pbureau can't create 403
[06:47] <Flannel> spasticteapot: so, upgrade to edgy.
[06:47] <spasticteapot> Wait a minute - fark is now bad language? What about fark.com?
[06:47] <spasticteapot> I'm on Edgy.
[06:47] <Ulixes> can anyone tell me what is the packet to let the button lock screen appear??
[06:47] <pbureau> mooky- that is so weird
[06:47] <snail> how do i set thunderbird up as my default mailreader? I'm not offered the option via "update-alternatives --all"
[06:47] <spasticteapot> The basic kernel is i386.
[06:47] <Flannel> spasticteapot: then you already have 2.6.17
[06:47] <LjL> spasticteapot: i wasn't talking about that, but anyway
[06:47] <spasticteapot> From experience, I can say that i686 runs a bit faster.
[06:47] <Belboz99> gda, dapper install disc should work fine
[06:48] <Flannel> spasticteapot: you should have the -generic kernel, not -386
[06:48] <mooky> pbureau I may have something - bear with me
[06:48] <LjL> spasticteapot: no, the basic kernel is -generic, and it loads cpu-specific optimizations on demand
[06:48] <spasticteapot> Nevermind...it's generic.
[06:48] <LjL> Ubotu, tell spasticteapot about generic | spasticteapot, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:48] <spasticteapot> D'oh!
[06:48] <genii> hitammanis: Unfortunately no :( The regular livecd doeas not allow for a command-line install
[06:48] <spasticteapot> Regardless, I blew up my kernel.
[06:48] <gda_> Belboz99: does it have a recovery mode?
[06:48] <Flannel> spasticteapot: then you already have 'the' 686 kernel
[06:48] <elyon225> Is there any way to change the way "Lock Session" is handled in KDE?  Right now, when I lock my session, after someone else has logged in and then out again, it shows my screen saver and asks for my password.  I would like it instead to go back to the login screen to start a new session.
[06:48] <spasticteapot> I now have a kernel for some sort of SPARC processor installed, I think....
[06:48] <spasticteapot> D'oh!
[06:48] <spasticteapot> (I've yet to try rebooting.)
[06:48] <hitammanis> genii: I have a slow internet connection, and the iso I have is ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
[06:48] <Belboz99> gda_: you just need to get into the filesystem and correct the problem, unforutunatley, I'm not familiar with udev
[06:49] <snail> found!
[06:49] <LjL> spasticteapot: my suggestion is then to make sure you do a "sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install linux" before rebooting
[06:49] <hitammanis> genii: sorry did not see you last message
[06:49] <gda_> Belboz99: I am already in the filesystem with knoppix and chrooted to it
[06:50] <spasticteapot> LjL: What does that do?
[06:50] <genii> hitammanis: Do you have more than 1 computer there?
[06:50] <gda_> I not very familar with apt-get, came from rpm, how to revoke the udev update?
[06:50] <josh_> ok i cant for the life of me figure out where im supposed to change the bash color
[06:50] <josh_> i found bashrc
[06:50] <mooky> pbureau gettign somewhere - hang on
[06:50] <spasticteapot> Well, looks like I fixed it.
[06:50] <kaso> infinitee, LjL and anyone else who helped, thanks i got it all working now.
[06:50] <josh_> i have made the changes i want... but i dont know where i put the export line at
[06:50] <spasticteapot> LjL: Also, thanks.
[06:50] <hitammanis> genii: yeah but one has a hard time booting from the cd
[06:50] <LjL> spasticteapot: remove any non-ubuntu packages from the cache (such as custom-compiled kernels), so that apt won't consider them, and install the "linux" package, which should hopefully give you a working kernel
[06:50] <josh_> who has colored prompt?
[06:51] <SecrethX> hell
[06:51] <spasticteapot> I already did sudo apt-get install linux
[06:51] <spasticteapot> Any other ways I can speed up Linux?
[06:51] <gubluntu> anyone have an idea for the hardware specs for a ubuntu mail server running Postfix/Courier/MySQL/Amavisd-new/SpamAssassin/ClamAV/SASL/TLS/Horde for about 25-30 users
[06:51] <gubluntu> like min proc speed ram etc...
[06:51] <pbureau> spasticteapot- more RAM faster CPU
[06:52] <genii> hitammanis: Ah OK. Nevermind then. You will need the the alternate install CD unfortunately. I know it's a pain on a slow connection
[06:52] <mart> ram makes its it faster thats correct
[06:52] <bur[n] er> lol
[06:52] <spasticteapot> Er...well, yes.
[06:52] <mooky> pbureau ok - got quite far now
[06:52] <josh_> but that only goes so far
[06:52] <LjL> !minimal | genii, hitammanis, this might be of some help though
[06:52] <ubotu> genii, hitammanis, this might be of some help though: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[06:52] <mooky> pbureau want an update ?
[06:52] <pbureau> mooky- sure curious about it
[06:52] <josh_> you can end up adding so much memory it bottlenecks at the proc
[06:53] <Xif> Hi. I get "The following packages cannot be authenticated: xmms" trying to `apt-get install xmms`
[06:53] <Xif> Should I just ignore than and install anyway?
[06:53] <josh_> how do i add color to my bashrc?
[06:53] <mooky> pbureau ok - so here we go. Had to change some permissions in the cups.conf - so that </admin> and <admin-menu> had "allow all" rather than just local hsot
[06:53] <mart> you can install minimal stuff by cliking advaced installation as well
[06:53] <Xif> s/than/that/
[06:53] <LjL> Xif: do you have third-party repositories enabled?
[06:53] <grndslm> this is a pretty much all around decent compile command, right?  g++ -g3 -ggdb -Wall file.cpp -o run
[06:53] <Xif> LjL: yes.
[06:53] <mooky> pbureau now I have a printer setup - but not a printer device (which explains why I can't print to it)
[06:53] <LjL> Xif: then xmms is probably being pulled out of some of those, rather than from the ubuntu repository. whether you're ok with that is your choice
[06:53] <pbureau> mooky- ahahah
[06:53] <mooky> pbureau however when I go to set it up - it changes to https: - and the https functions of the cups daemon are broke (according to some urls)
[06:53] <genii> hitammanis: If you need a small download, the one recommended by LjL is the way to go then. Once it is on, you can install whatever is needed by apt-get method
[06:54] <Xif> LjL: I see. And obviously, if apt-get pulls it from such a repo, it means that it doesn't find it on the authenticated repos, and there's nothing I can do about it?
[06:54] <beerman> Anyone recommend a good player that has net radio (.pls) as standard support?
[06:55] <genii> gubluntu Where I work we have a similar setup on an Athlon XP 1200 system with 2 80 gig drives and 512ram. Works fine
[06:55] <Xif> beerman: xmms probably has it.
[06:55] <gubluntu> genii, nicew
[06:55] <gubluntu> thanks
[06:55] <LjL> Xif: no, it simply means that the version that is in the third-party repo is more recent, or reported to be such. type "apt-cache policy xmms" to see all the versions you have available - the "newest" version will be picked in an alphanumerical order
[06:55] <hitammanis> genii: I'll take a look
[06:55] <beerman> Xif, the word properly - can't use it.
[06:55] <abstrcrndm> quit
[06:55] <Xif> LjL: thanks :)
[06:55] <beerman> oh
[06:57] <B3N> hello, can anyone tell me what the "wish" process is
[06:57] <mooky> pbureau %99 there
[06:57] <mooky> just been prompted for a cups username/pass to add the printer
[06:57] <genii> Anyone using GNUPanel with server install? Curious of a review
[06:58] <mooky> pbureau not sure what account the prompt is asking for ? a cups/unix/$whatever account
[06:59] <dyrne> B3N: /j ubuntu-devel and beg until it is fixed :)
[07:00] <genii> dyrne LOL
[07:00] <genii> Sad but true
[07:00] <pbureau> mooky- weird, I never has such problems....
[07:00] <mooky> not sure what use account it wants ?
[07:01] <pbureau> mooky- nope it never asked me for an account ....
[07:01] <mooky> pbureau is there such thing as a internal "cups" account, in the same way samba accounts are in an internal database ?
[07:01] <B3N> !ubuntu-devel
[07:01] <ubotu> ubuntu-devel: Ubuntu development packages. In component seveas\-meta, is optional. Version 6.10-2 (edgy-seveas), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB
[07:01] <elyon225> Is there any way to change the way "Lock Session" is handled in KDE?  Right now, when I lock my session, after someone else has logged in and then out again, it shows my screen saver and asks for my password.  I would like it instead to go back to the login screen to start a new session.
[07:02] <pbureau> mooky try root with password
[07:02] <mooky> pbureau I don't think ti would, its behaving as the documentation suggests
[07:02] <hmpedersen> Hey
[07:02] <mooky> pbureau tried root, not sure its a "unix" account it wants
[07:02] <brewka> ops...zapomnialem :D
[07:02] <brewka> dziekuje ;) za pomoc
[07:03] <`Evil> hello
[07:03] <IdleOne> hey `Evil
[07:03] <`Evil> can someone help with an error while trying to make a dist-upgrade?
[07:04] <IdleOne> `Evil: what is the error
[07:04] <rbs-tito> We can all try ;)
[07:04] <hmpedersen> This new installer is nice
[07:04] <`Evil> i got a "core dumped" error
[07:04] <mooky> pbureau the cupsd.conf file shows the this line "SystemGroup lpadmin" which suggests that any unix user in this group should be fine ?
[07:04] <mooky> pbureau thoughts ?
[07:04] <`Evil> because of cupsys
[07:04] <hmpedersen> I just wish it was possible to install in more languages..
[07:04] <genii> Ew coredumps
[07:04] <`Evil> i tried to remove it but i could not
[07:04] <pbureau> mooky- hummmmm....
[07:05] <Xif> Is there a word-completion function for Gnome Terminal?
[07:05] <Xif> I mean like Emacs Ctrl-/
[07:05] <`Evil> even if i do a pat-get -f install, core dump still happens
[07:05] <elyon225> hmpedersen: It is possible... everything is!  Welcome to Linux :)
[07:05] <`Evil> apt*
[07:05] <pbureau> mooky maybe set your user account to be part of lpadmin ?
[07:05] <mooky> pbureau already is - thats why I'm surprised
[07:05] <Vandalay> tab
[07:06] <IdleOne> Xif: tab key should do it
[07:06] <pbureau> mooky-  well then I have no clue what it wants lol
[07:06] <mooky> pbureau yeah, what a pain
[07:06] <mooky> pbureau big thanks for your advice, good to have someone to bounce thoughts off
[07:06] <genii> Does there exist a group with the name lpadmin?
[07:06] <hmpedersen> elyon225, please read what I say first. The new installer doesn't offer danish
[07:06] <`Evil> so someone can help me?
[07:06] <Xif> IdleOne: <tab> completes paths, not general words.
[07:06] <IdleOne> hmpedersen: you could traslate it
[07:06] <rbs-tito> hmpederson: Feisty?
[07:06] <Pici> hmpedersen : what new installed?
[07:07] <Pici> hmpedersen : installer, rather
[07:07] <beerman> `Evil - apt-get remove.
[07:07] <IdleOne> Xif:  how is terminal supposed to know what your thinking?
[07:07] <`Evil> i tried beerman ! but noway !
[07:07] <beerman> oh sorry then
[07:07] <mooky> pbureau if only I could figure out where this damn web itnerface looked
[07:07] <genii> beerman He is doing a dist-upgrade tho
[07:07] <mooky> logged
[07:07] <beerman> didn't read it all
[07:07] <beerman> ouch
[07:07] <pbureau> mooky- lol I know the feeling... still say complete removal and resinstall with synaptic would fix things, cause all I did was install cups goto web insterface and install printer. no mods required
[07:07] <beerman> sorry :)
[07:07] <beerman> hehe
[07:07] <pbureau> Problem with an Airlink AWLC3026T (RT2561/RT61) Wireless Card - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3465/ anyone ?
[07:08] <mooky> pbureau ok - game on
[07:08] <Xif> IdleOne: the need is to complete any word on the scree. e.g. foo<tab> would complete to foobar because there is the word "foobar" on the screen.
[07:08] <hmpedersen> Pici: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
[07:08] <Megaqwerty> how do I turn off the system bell?
[07:08] <pbureau> Megaqwerty-  gnome ?
[07:08] <Pici> hmpedersen : perhaps because its a prototype and not close to being a production installer
[07:08] <Megaqwerty> pbureau: Yeah
[07:08] <IdleOne> Xif: ah I see what you mean but I dont know if terminal has a key for that
[07:08] <pbureau> MegaQuark_-  System - Amin  - sound
[07:08] <Vandalay> tab completes avaiable commands in path
[07:08] <genii> mooky Maybe put user lpadmin or so in group www-user it it's trying to use some web interface
[07:09] <hmpedersen> Pici: I know. But atleast it allows me to install ubuntu.. Instead of just using ubuntu in vmware..
[07:09] <lightcap> what version of ubuntu do I need for a mac pro (64 bit dual core xeons)-- I thought the amd64 distro supported intel 64 bit too, but it fails on boot...
[07:09] <Megaqwerty> pbureau: you have the wrong username, but thanks
[07:09] <Xif> IdleOne: Thanks anyway (wonder if Konsole has it)
[07:09] <mooky> genii I did think of that, but thats not it. I'm looking for some sort of htaccess style system - I think
[07:09] <mirshafie-> I have a problem with wine. I'm trying to install Myst, the installer runs fine and I get one of those ugly blue windows 95 setups. When the file copying starts I get an error dialog that says "File Transfer Error: The installer was unable to transfer files from Z:\archive\ to c:\Program Files\Myst". What can I do about this?
[07:09] <pbureau> Megaqwerty-  opps
[07:09] <belekas> i get this error after installing nvidia driveris Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0", any ideas?
[07:09] <Vandalay> <-wine-free
[07:10] <Vandalay> if u use wine you will get angry at some point
[07:10] <genii> mooky If you can find the root of the webpage system for that page check then to see if creating a web password for it with htpasswd works
[07:10] <KillerT> it will make u hit the bottle
[07:10] <mirshafie-> wine-free?
[07:11] <richard> I'm attempting to try a wow trial out on my laptop, GMA950 and wine... It's not looking too good
[07:11] <Vandalay> hehe
[07:11] <mooky> genii I have no idea where its stored, thats what I'm trying to back trace
[07:11] <mirshafie-> yea, but how else should i run windows games? :)
[07:11] <mooky> just trying a re-install first
[07:11] <KillerT> wine makes u wanna down the bottle of wine
[07:11] <genii> mooky What url is it using?
[07:11] <Vandalay> thats te big problem in linux
[07:11] <mooky> genii $hostname:631
[07:11] <lightcap> anyone have a clue about the intel 64 bit questions?
[07:11] <mooky> lightcap what questions
[07:11] <hmpedersen> Say.. Who got the idea for this new installer?
[07:11] <genii> mooky So in main area of /var/www
[07:12] <mooky> genii its not, because its not apache serving it
[07:12] <lightcap> mooky: which version do I need for dual 64 bit xeons (mac pro)?
[07:12] <mooky> lightcap x86 or x86_64 up to you
[07:12] <lightcap> mooky: I tried the amd64
[07:12] <mirshafie-> Vandalay: well, i've been using ubuntu since warty and i havnt had a single problem. just thought i should try some old games, and i can't see why it shouldnt work
[07:12] <lightcap> obviously didn't work...
[07:12] <Vandalay> ok i see
[07:12] <mooky> lightcap what was the proble m?
[07:12] <lightcap> mooky: didn't see the x86_64
[07:13] <genii> mooky Ah, OK. So it's the line printing daemon running on port 631
[07:13] <mooky> genii spot on
[07:13] <lightcap> mooky: said it wasn't an amd 64 chip :-)
[07:13] <mooky> lightcap thats strange
[07:13] <lightcap> yeah, I thought it would work too...
[07:14] <pbureau> Problem with an Airlink AWLC3026T (RT2561/RT61) Wireless Card - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3465/ anyone ?
[07:14] <genii> mooky If using inetd check the inetd.conf file to see if there is an entry for it. Also in /etc/services to see the port 631 entry is uncommented and so on
[07:14] <mooky> genii two minutes, just working something through and I want to give your comments attention rather than glancing
[07:14] <SecrethX> okay.. I keep getting /etc/bash permission error, im now via live cd because even recovery mode wasnt working! I can mount the hdd (I think) but I have no idea what happened to the permissions :S
[07:15] <genii> mooky np
[07:15] <mooky> pbureau re-installed - same issue, wants a username/pass
[07:15] <mooky> genii ok - full attention
[07:16] <lightcap> mooky: is the amd64 version the x86_64 one you're referring to?
[07:16] <mooky> lightcap yes
[07:16] <lightcap> hmm.
[07:16] <mike-ekim> im trying to set up fluxbox, but it tells me tghat I dont have the X window system libraries and headers
[07:16] <mike-ekim> what would be the proper package to download to fix this?
[07:17] <lightcap> mooky: yeah the error is: This is not an amd64 machine.  Please install the i386 distribution of Ubuntu.
[07:17] <SecrethX> Someone please help! I keep getting /etc/bash permission error (in fact, everything gives a permission error), im now via live cd because even recovery mode wasnt working! I mounted the hdd but I have no idea what happened to the permissions :S
[07:17] <mooky> lightcap do that and re-eveluate
[07:17] <genii> mooky Anyhow, occurs to me that if your system is using inetd/xinetd you may not have some default entry for lpd on port 631. also the port may be still commented out in the /etc/services section
[07:17] <lightcap> ah! I know why...
[07:17] <nkbreau> Could someone here please tell me what I need to do to get my laptop screen working in ubuntu ? I've got an external monitor plugged into the laptop, and i want both monitors to be active, not just the external (twinview)
[07:17] <Vandalay> hehe bush said "porkchop"
[07:17] <lightcap> I'm running in Parallels...I bet the VM is 32-bit!
[07:17] <lightcap> duh.
[07:18] <nkbreau> I've tried making changes to the xorg.conf file but no matter what i do the laptop monitor stays off
[07:18] <mooky> genii lpd does not launch from inetd and if I didn't have the services entry the web page would not appear
[07:18] <elyon225> Is there any way to change the way "Lock Session" is handled in KDE?  Right now, when I lock my session, after someone else has logged in and then out again, it shows my screen saver and asks for my password.  I would like it instead to go back to the login screen to start a new session.
[07:18] <chivosolar> hey im havin some trouble setting up this network printer. the wizard goes through and seems to accept the info and connect to the printer but when it is finished there is no icon in the printers folder.
[07:18] <mooky> genii I think its to do with the line "Require user @SYSTEM" style comments in the cupsd.conf
[07:18] <chivosolar> i want to find the config file to manually edit it but I cant find it. Where is it please
[07:19] <genii> mooky Check your cgi-common area then. I think it's usually somewhere like /usrshare/cgi-bin
[07:19] <mooky> genii its not run from apache
[07:19] <genii> */usr/share/cgi-bin*
[07:19] <coNP> genii, mooky I guess /usr/lib/cgi-bin in Ubuntu
[07:19] <mooky> a.) I don't have /usr/share/cgi-bin b.) thats aimed at apache usage I think
[07:19] <oxigen> i need java for linux, what to download, is blackdown still ok?
[07:20] <coNP> oxigen: I would recommend either sun or gcj
[07:20] <chivosolar> where can I find the config files for printing??
[07:20] <lipe> I need to know, how can i stop web server daemon and mysql daemon ... Please !!
[07:20] <dyrne> nkbreau: do you have res set too high for laptop screen?
[07:20] <mooky> genii also there is no information to suggest its even usgin cgi
[07:20] <oxigen> coNP: is blackdown obsolete now?
[07:20] <genii> mooky It must have some embedded webserver otherwise it wouldn't run.
[07:20] <roler> After an ubuntu update last night, which I think updated dbus, my system no longer boots. Is there an issue going on?
[07:20] <mooky> genii it looks lke an internal web application
[07:20] <mooky> genii yes, it is an internal web server
[07:20] <mooky> thats why I keep saying - its not run by apache
[07:20] <chillmann> howdy!
[07:20] <coNP> oxigen: I guess so
[07:21] <oxigen> coNP: ok thanks
[07:21] <dyrne> nkbreau: or range
[07:21] <genii> mooky Well, regardless of what server is underneath then, the executables for it will be in the cgi common dirs
[07:21] <slytherin> Is anyone here using audacity on edgy?

[07:21] <SecrethX> Someone please help! I keep getting /etc/bash permission error (in fact, everything gives a permission error), im now via live cd because even recovery mode wasnt working! I mounted the hdd but I have no idea what happened to the permissions :S
[07:21] <genii> mooky Might be permissions are screwy there for it to run or so
[07:21] <lipe> I need to know, how can i stop web server daemon and mysql daemon ... Please !!
[07:22] <coNP> SecrethX: what do you want to do exactly with /etc/bash?
[07:22] <coNP> lipe: you can use sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop and /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[07:22] <SecrethX> coNP, bash is just an example, I cant even login because permission errors.. I mounted the hdd now but actually I have no idea what to change or whatsoever
[07:22] <dyrne> lipe: ls /etc/init.d/    youll see many scripts there. just sudo /etc/init.d/scriptname stop    or start or restart
[07:23] <nkbreau> dyrne: not sure... do you mind jumping to a private window ?
[07:23] <lipe> dyrne: thx u very much
[07:23] <mooky> genii thanks for the help, but your just making random comments now. a.) there is no suggestions its using cgi b.) it doesn't have to place anything in /usr/share/cgi - as its its own internal application c.) I mentioned there are no cgi scripts for it in the common cgi place
[07:23] <lipe> coNP:  thx u very much
[07:23] <coNP> lipe: yw

[07:25] <phish> if I was to request a module (specifically pata_atiixp) be included in feisty, where should I make such a request?
[07:25] <dyrne> nkbreau: yeah youll have to tinker with the twinview part of xorg file usually
[07:25] <SecrethX> coNP, you know something to do? :x
[07:25] <dyrne> nkbreau: likely its just not able to display whatever is currently set to
[07:25] <genii> mooky Since multiple webservers use the common cgi-bin dir, and web applications which use executables normally look there for these things. Also in this directory structure there is usually found application-specific directories containing perl or php scripts etc which are for specific control programs.
[07:25] <Wulfie> hey folks - I want to install a new kernel (2.6.18 or 19) can I apt get that in 6.10?
[07:25] <coNP> SecrethX: what do you think of?
[07:26] <Sephiroth> Okay, so I installed Xchat using the Synaptic Package Manager, and now I'm reading on their site that they've had a new version out, (2.8.0). How would I go about upgrading to the newer version? O.o
[07:26] <mooky> genii I've said I've looked there 3 times now, there is nothing there - and there is no evidence to suggest it wants to / has to use it
[07:26] <SecrethX> coNP, I really have no idea, it seems somehow I managed to totally break my permissions :S

[07:26] <mooky> genii I agree with what your saying, but I can only say "there is nothing there"
[07:26] <coNP> SecrethX: is / mounted read-only?
[07:26] <mooky> genii there isn't even anything to suggest it wants to use cgi scripts
[07:26] <dyrne> nkbreau: gentoo has good documentation usually. google gentoo and twinview
[07:26] <LjL> Supre_Me: tried... the mixer? you probably have a Mic Boost or similar option
[07:26] <slytherin> Can anyone help me with this problem in audacity, http://pastebin.com/871407
[07:27] <mooky> the problem is the auth method
[07:27] <genii> mooky LOL OK... I'll look into exactly where this thing should be then. Do you know the exact packagename again?
[07:27] <juano> genii: hows it going
[07:27] <Supre_Me> Supre_Me, the mixer? the mic boost just raise my voice volume but it doesn't get rid of the muffeled noice
[07:27] <SecrethX> coNP, im not sure, im via the live cd.. I mounted it manually here and it is not read only, but every dir has a 'lock' icon above/on it
[07:27] <mooky> genii thanks, its cupsys and cupsclient
[07:27] <genii> juano Not too bad :) Hi
[07:27] <coNP> SecrethX: seems that it *is* read-only, don't know why, though

[07:37] <burzum> genii, wow... what an easy and small solution :s
[07:37] <alecjw> burzum, use samaba instead

[07:38] <Xif> Anyone knows how i can make the Keyboard Shortcuts for the Music Player actually work?
[07:38] <genii> burzum LOL well, there is no native nfs driver unfortunately. But I use the cygwin rsync client successfully to sync data on w2k boxes to a debian box

[07:38] <fbc_> juano: yeah.. it a 120 drive and the one in my laptop was only a 60gb..

[07:39] <SecrethX> variant, yea, already mistaked, lol :)
[07:39] <variant> SecrethX: so /whereyoumountedit/root/.bash_history
[07:39] <SecrethX> Could not open the file /media/root/.bash_history
[07:39] <fbc_> juano: so I wanna dupe my drive then switch it with the 120 in the usb case.
[07:39] <SecrethX> You do not have the permissions necessary to open the file.
[07:39] <SecrethX> sudo then..
[07:39] <variant> SecrethX: if there is anything there you don't want me to see i suggest you delete those lines first.. this is every command you ran as root
[07:40] <fbc_> juano:  Any ideas how to do it?
[07:40] <juano> fbc_: let me check if theres a good image program for linux :)
[07:40] <SecrethX> variant, got that
[07:40] <variant> juano: there are plenty
[07:40] <fbc_> juano:  thanks

[07:42] <variant> !lamp | kestaz
[07:42] <ubotu> kestaz: 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+)

[07:47] <ubotu> MrWamu: 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
[07:47] <SecrethX> really sure
[07:47] <SecrethX> I wrote it down :s
[07:47] <MrWamu> Thanks!
[07:47] <variant> SecrethX: chroot the installed disk and try recreating a user
[07:47] <MrWamu> Good enough for me
[07:47] <variant> SecrethX: where did you mount hte root partition?
[07:47] <MrWamu> Peace
[07:48] <SecrethX> variant, chroot? and I mounted it to /media/
[07:48] <roler> Guys... After an update last night, my system will not boot. I am running plain old EDGY. My hard drive is not being detected by the kernel. This is not a hardware issue. I have no idea what to do to get my system operational again.
[07:48] <unimatrix9> MrWamu , did you add the repository for autmatix?
[07:48] <genii> !libapache-mod-perl | kestaz
[07:48] <variant> SecrethX: in that case run this: chroot /media/
[07:48] <ubotu> libapache-mod-perl: integration of perl with the Apache web server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.29.0.4-4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 474 kB, installed size 1272 kB

[07:49] <SecrethX> variant, okay did that..
[07:49] <kestaz> genii, thx i am installing that package
[07:49] <variant> SecrethX: now do "su - yourusersname"
[07:49] <genii> kestaz You will need to restart apache for it to take
[07:49] <unimatrix9> hehe funny that you did ubotu on me...
[07:50] <kestaz> genii, but is apache 2 or apache package ?
[07:50] <genii> kestaz eg: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:50] <variant> SecrethX: it should have changed the shell to that of hte user that is configured on the installed ubuntu
[07:50] <variant> SecrethX: to check type "whoami" and press enter
[07:50] <SecrethX> variant, it seems that I just cant read because I get permission denied, and I thought it sayed permission error
[07:50] <genii> kestaz It will install the right package for the apache version you have, do not worry
[07:50] <variant> SecrethX: ok, so su - username didnt work?
[07:51] <SecrethX> variant, nope
[07:51] <rukuartic> Hi there... does anyone have information on apache2 and why it's not logging anymore?
[07:51] <Warbo> Anyone got Radeon Xpress 200M graphics in their laptop? ATI say their driver supports it, but I can't get any direct rendering

[07:53] <genii> kestaz OK,use apache instead of apache then ...lag Pici should be right. If libapache2-mod-perl not found there is another one which works but need to go look up the name again
[07:53] <abuyazan> but when i run alien with the command line to convert RPM to .deb it did not change anything
[07:53] <variant> seravitae: so you are now root on the installed ubuntu via a chroot on the live cd right?

[07:57] <kestaz> genii, yes
[07:57] <juano> abuyazan: where are you installing from ?
[07:57] <kestaz> just downloading that script
[07:57] <variant> SecrethX: this could be quite a hard issue, might be able to fix it but i don't think we will find out what caused it
[07:57] <juano> abuyazan: synaptic ?
[07:57] <Warbo> Xif: I just use the default because it integrates well. And you can run KDE apps in GNOME remember
[07:57] <Xif> SecrethX: yeah, I know, I just prefer not to :)
[07:57] <genii> kestaz Where are you putting the scripts?
[07:58] <Xif> Warbo: "the default"?
[07:58] <abuyazan> no from the source juano

[08:00] <ec> hello how do i change the keyboard layout in ubuntu?
[08:00] <SecrethX> variant, i got this: Unable to determine your tty name.
[08:00] <juano> abuyazan: you could try sudo alien -i rpmpackage directly
[08:00] <genii> kestaz Put the scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin    then go to them by url:  127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/scriptname here

[08:01] <abuyazan> but it did nothing , no package was converted but alien i installed it from source
[08:02] <juano> abuyazan: you can install rpms directly from alien with sudo alien -i *.rpm
[08:02] <variant> SecrethX: you should then be able to run the strace command i mentioned
[08:02] <SecrethX> yes I can
[08:02] <variant> SecrethX: great

[08:06] <Stormx2> !lamp | lipe
[08:06] <ubotu> lipe: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[08:18] <juano> abuyazan: then install
[08:19] <alecjw> pbureau, whay doesnt it work with network-manager? and since the driver's gpl, why isnt it included in ubuntu?
[08:19] <pbureau> alecjw- I am working on my rt61 wifi myslef... it find it but assigns is as eth1 in ifconfig.. I know...
[08:19] <abuyazan> juano, ok it is reloading the packages
[08:19] <host_> question, I want to remove gaim without removing ubuntu-desktop
[08:19] <pbureau> alecjw- dunno...
[08:19] <host_> how would I do that?
[08:20] <juano> abuyazan: ok, after that u can use alien
[08:20] <Moniker42> hi, i need some help with ntfs-3g i thought i had it working to write to two ntfs drives but now they're not even mounted
[08:20] <juano> abuyazan: after you install alien i mean
[08:20] <juano> Moniker42: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[08:20] <juano> Moniker42: did that already ?
[08:20] <Akeru> tim67: I think you can't, iso is read only system but I might be wrong
[08:20] <alecjw> pbureau, what about the firmware they supply on the website?
[08:21] <abuyazan> ok juano it is installing
[08:21] <Moniker42> juano, it's already installed
[08:21] <amigrave> in which package can I find the adobe-helvetica-bold font ?
[08:21] <metal03> Hi there everyone, neeb question...  how do I know what's my IP address?
[08:21] <Moniker42> metal03, www.whatismyip.com
[08:21] <juano> Moniker42: cat /etc/fstab
[08:21] <juano> Moniker42: pastebin that
[08:21] <Moniker42> juano, cat?
[08:21] <Moniker42> right
[08:21] <pbureau> alecjw- I dunno about that bit havent had the feeling I need to use it (or how to get it upgraded either)... try the method shown in the docs and see if that solves the problem.
[08:21] <tim167> Akeru: so if i copy the contents and burn a new cd from that with my file added will it work ?
[08:21] <variant> SecrethX: yeah, use nano in a terminal like that
[08:21] <host_> !ntfs-g3
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-g3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <host_> !ntfs-3g
[08:21] <roler> Did anyone have problems with the Ubuntu Edgy update last night? My system will not boot. It appears that it is not detecting my SATA hard drive since the update....
[08:21] <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)
[08:21] <pbureau> alecjw- that is what I am working on
[08:22] <metal03> Moniker42 : That's my real IP...  I wanna know what one is my router giving me!
[08:22] <variant> SecrethX: did you get that?
[08:22] <variant> SecrethX: did you get that?
[08:22] <Moniker42> metal03, in the case i don't know
[08:22] <variant> host_: try !fuse as well
[08:22] <vermeer> hello world
[08:22] <host_> variant, that was for someone else
[08:22] <variant> host_: oki
[08:22] <wsneh> oi!
[08:22] <Akeru> tim67 : you can inded extratc the content of the mounted iso (cp it somwhere else) add the file than mkisofs or burn the files directly
[08:22] <host_> I've gotten my ntfs drive working smoothly
[08:22] <SecrethX> variant, yea did nano
[08:22] <alecjw> pbureau, and can i do that tutorial without the card plugged in, up until the last step?
[08:22] <Ulixes> ciao
[08:22] <Ulixes> ops made a mistake
[08:23] <host_> I just need to know how to uninstall gaim without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop
[08:23] <SecrethX> variant, 1086MB to download, 90MB to be used (hd space)
[08:23] <SecrethX> I dont get that lol :P
[08:23] <pbureau> alecjw- I see it with gnome manager right now, but it thinks its a wired connection not wifi.. why I am doing the steps in the doc.
[08:23] <variant> SecrethX: lol
[08:23] <devilsadvocate> host_, you can remove ubuntu-desktop safely. its just a meta-package
[08:23] <pbureau> alecjw- I think so.
[08:23] <coNP> host_: you cannot, however it is not a problem to uninstall ubuntu-desktop
[08:23] <vermeer> SecrethX, it means EXTRA space
[08:23] <variant> SecrethX: you changed all the edgy's to feisty right?
[08:23] <Dimensions> Guys ... i have my external hdd mounted in /media ... how do i clone my OS to that external hdd with DD command i mean how do i know my original is dd if=/dev/hda source ? and this is of=/dev/sda ??  my external hdd ?
[08:23] <SecrethX> variant, yes
[08:23] <host_> ahhh, ok, thanks a lot coNP  and devilsadvocate
[08:23] <SecrethX> vermeer, oh, sorry
[08:23] <coNP> yw, host_
[08:24] <Moniker42> juano, http://rafb.net/p/S8u84Y40.html
[08:24] <vermeer> no need to appologize :) all good.
[08:24] <vermeer> !dualhead
[08:24] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[08:24] <metal03> Hello everyone, is there a way to know the IP address that my router is attributing me on my server?
[08:24] <Akeru> Dimensions : type in "mount" and it should display the name (/dev/...) of the device near the mount point
[08:24] <vermeer> metal03, ifconfig in terminal
[08:25] <vermeer> metal03, man ifconfig, also man ifup, man ifdown
[08:25] <SecrethX> variant, hmm almost a gig to download.. my mom will kill me lol :D although it is almost the end of the month (we have a data-limit but every month it is resetted again)
[08:25] <vermeer> SecrethX, your australian?
[08:25] <variant> SecrethX: ew, that sucks (limmited downloads)
[08:25] <SecrethX> vermeer, belgian
[08:26] <variant> SecrethX: on my connection i have no limmits and approximately 5GB of bandwidth
[08:26] <vermeer> oh they do bandwidth throttling over there? i thought it was only in au
[08:26] <variant> SecrethX: in both directions
[08:26] <SecrethX> variant, tell me about it, I found a bit a way around it, if I keep my router running, it wont send stats to my ISP, therefor it wont know im download a gig and so on ;P if I reset it, it will send the stats
[08:26] <Moniker42> juano, did you get that?
[08:26] <variant> SecrethX: are you sure about that? they probably track it at their end
[08:26] <SecrethX> vermeer, I ment, I can download/upload 10gig, and if I reach that point, I get an 64kbps line
[08:27] <vermeer> ah, neat
[08:27] <SecrethX> variant, im sure, I almost downloaded 30 gig this month and Im still on a 1.1mbps line ;P
[08:27] <variant> SecrethX: for me, downloading 1GB would take a couple of minnits
[08:27] <variant> at most
[08:27] <SecrethX> variant, where do you live :|
[08:27] <vermeer> SecrethX, they track it via a router/modem client?
[08:27] <vermeer> oh you have got to be kidding me?
[08:27] <Akeru> SecrethX : in fact it is a bit different, Belgacom actually do the count, it is not he router that sends the count BUT the counters are only added when the connection is lost
[08:27] <vermeer> thats like the perfect hacking project
[08:27] <host_> dang... that's going to be a huge help, there's been a lot of crap that I didn't want to remove because it would also remove ubuntu-desktop
[08:27] <vermeer> :)
[08:27] <variant> SecrethX: haha, it's not where i live but where i work (datacenter with 16GB total in/out bandwidth)
[08:28] <SecrethX> Akeru, oh its like that :|
[08:28] <vermeer> Akeru, ah weird
[08:28] <variant> SecrethX: and I just love showing it off :P
[08:28] <Akeru> SecrethX : yup...and your connection is reset every 36h anyway :)
[08:28] <SecrethX> Akeru, well doesnt matter anyways, If I dont reset the connection, they will never know :p
[08:28] <SecrethX> Akeru, no
[08:28] <alecjw> pbureau, ok. thanks for your help
[08:29] <SecrethX> Akeru, somehow it doesnt with this router, because, if that was the case, I would already have a 64kbps line for like a week or two..
[08:29] <SecrethX> variant, you lucky guy
[08:29] <wsneh> can any1 tell me something about Ubuntu Ningi?
[08:29] <vermeer> wsneh, no we can't, what the hell is that?
[08:29] <Akeru> SecrethX : Hmm, the router has no choice...the ip is changed every 36h (on classical adsl line)
[08:30] <Moniker42> SecrethX, if you're on broadband the usage limit is always very loosely enforced
[08:30] <SecrethX> Akeru, then tell me why it isnt over here ;p with my previous router it did do that, now it doesnt..
[08:30] <Moniker42> nothing to bother about
[08:30] <Akeru> SecrethX : you got any log of that router's connection?
[08:30] <juano> Moniker42: sorry yes
[08:30] <SecrethX> Akeru, i dunno, lemme see
[08:31] <juano> Moniker42: what happens whern you get into /media/sda5 ?
[08:31] <wsneh> vermeer: an offspin of ubuntu so to say, a DVD edition featuring KDE,GNOME, XFCE and many useful packages
[08:31] <wsneh> it's 4.2 GB, and i wanna know how useful it really is
[08:31] <vermeer> wsneh, not supported here, generall ubuntu offshoots are pointless
[08:32] <SecrethX> Akeru, no, there is a security log, but thats not it ;o
[08:32] <vermeer> wsneh, no one will be able to help with that here
[08:32] <Moniker42> juano, there's nothing there
[08:32] <wsneh> tnx anyway
[08:32] <juano> Moniker42: fdisk -l
[08:32] <vermeer> yeah no worries :) the big problem with forking like that is that it really is useless
[08:32] <juano> Moniker42: pastebin me that
[08:32] <Akeru> Dimensions : got you answer ?
[08:32] <vermeer> all those projects need to do is setup repositories for people to use
[08:33] <Moniker42> juano, 2 seconds...
[08:33] <vermeer> there is absolutely nothing usefull about forking something like ubuntu.  forking debian for a specific task, maybe.
[08:33] <SecrethX> variant, another 30 minutes ;p
[08:33] <Akeru> SecrethX : too bad...it is the Phillips model ?
[08:33] <SecrethX> Akuma_, belkin
[08:34] <juano> Moniker42: sudo fdisk -l
[08:34] <Akeru> SecrethX : could you check your monthly usage ? I'm curious of what happens
[08:34] <juano> Moniker42: sorry, my bad
[08:34] <SecrethX> Akeru, belgacom has a connection log I think, im gonna go that yea
[08:34] <juano> Moniker42: remember the sudo
[08:34] <Dimensions> Akeru:  nopes
[08:34] <Moniker42> juano, what does it do?
[08:34] <metal03> Is it normal that is takes forever to connect with FrostWire?
[08:34] <Akeru> Dimensions : ok, tried what I told you ?
[08:34] <SecrethX> Akeru, ik had nie door dat je een belg was ;O
[08:35] <Dimensions> i just cont want to mess with our office server but we need to make a clone of it on backup ... i have plugged an external hdd to it my df is /dev/hda2 and /dev/sde1 so m i right in putting data from original disk if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/sde1 ??
[08:35] <Dimensions> Akeru:  im doing that
[08:35] <wsneh> vermeer: i wouldn't agree, this edition is good 4 ppl like me who have no regular internet connection and grow furious about dependency hell
[08:35] <juano> Moniker42: it lists the partition table
[08:35] <vermeer> there is no dependency hell
[08:35] <roler> I find it hard to believe that no one loaded the Edgy update last night and had no problems. It appears that SATA support was messed up!!
[08:35] <Dimensions> Akeru:  m i right doing that way ?
[08:35] <juano> Moniker42: i wanna see whats your sda1 and sda5
[08:35] <Moniker42> righto
[08:35] <Moniker42> they're both the NTFS partitions
[08:35] <juano> Moniker42: ok
[08:35] <Akeru> SecrethX : hh...I'm from the southern part of our nice country
[08:36] <metal03> Does Ubuntu have some kind of built-in firewall?
[08:36] <SecrethX> Akeru, oh your french ;P
[08:36] <SecrethX> you're whatever
[08:36] <cablesm102> !iptables | metal03
[08:36] <ubotu> metal03: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:36] <Moniker42> metal03, linux is not weak like windows
[08:36] <devilsadvocate> metal03, its called iptables
[08:36] <IdleOne> what is the path to sources.list?
[08:36] <Akeru> Dimensions : the question was  you would like to clone your main hdd to another extenal one ?
[08:36] <juano> Moniker42 just a sec
[08:36] <cablesm102> IdleOne, /etc/APT/sources.list
[08:36] <Akeru> SecrethX : I'm belgian and waloon :)
[08:36] <juano> Moniker42: sec
[08:36] <IdleOne> cablesm102: ty
[08:36] <cablesm102> IdleOne, np
[08:36] <vermeer> Akeru, ironically thats what i'm googling now
[08:36] <SecrethX> Akeru, you're french speaking then ;P
[08:36] <Moniker42> metal03, i think it'd be a bit like employing a guard dog to protect your tank at night, no? ;)
[08:37] <Yeti_69> !fr
[08:37] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[08:37] <vermeer> Akeru, do you have a n xorg conf file with cloned desktops for dualhead cards?
[08:37] <cablesm102> Moniker42, nice analogy
[08:37] <Dimensions> yes Akeru i am cloning my internal hdd to external as backup
[08:37] <Moniker42> thanks :P
[08:37] <marshall> does anybody have or know where i can find a rezlooks gtk engine edgy deb?
[08:37] <Dimensions> so m i right in that command
[08:37] <Akeru> verbose : by cloning I meant hardrive cloning
[08:37] <vermeer> well thats not actually ironic, maybe serindipidous
[08:37] <Moniker42> juano, http://rafb.net/p/kHH64790.html
[08:37] <vermeer> Akeru, oh heh :)
[08:37] <SecrethX> Akuma_,
[08:37] <SecrethX> errrr
[08:37] <SecrethX> Akeru,
[08:37] <SecrethX> Volume Pack in current use:
[08:37] <SecrethX> You used 4 GB 611 MB out of 5 GB available in the current Volume Pack (390 MB remaining).
[08:38] <cablesm102> marshall, I'm not sure you need that. gtk-engines-pixmap handles all the GTK themes i've tried
[08:38] <Akeru> Dimensions : DD is is a good  idea yes...so, can you look at what "mount" gives out ?
[08:38] <zzz_> Hi tim167.
[08:38] <tim167> zzz_: hi
[08:38] <zzz_> You can do that with a bit of work.
[08:38] <Akeru> verbose : and I do have a dual screen layout for X (nvidia)
[08:38] <Dimensions> mount gave me ext3 as hda2
[08:39] <tim167> zzz_ i'm dying to know =p
[08:39] <metal03> Miniker42 : I'm not trying to gard my tank with a guard dog...  I'm trying to get rid of the dog!!  FrostWire seems unable to connect and says that I'm behind a Firewall...
[08:39] <Akeru> Dimensions : what mount point was it ? / ?
[08:39] <zzz_> I can try to walk you through the process if you want.
[08:39] <devilsadvocate> Dimensions, you mean hda2 as ext3?
[08:39] <juano> Moniker42: try a sudo mount -a
[08:39] <metal03> Moniker42*
[08:39] <Moniker42> juano, someone told me to enter "/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g users,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007 0 0" into fstab
[08:39] <Dimensions> yeah
[08:39] <tim167> zzz_ : that would be great!
[08:39] <jakob__> hi everybody
[08:39] <Moniker42> but would that not just give me permission to edit it and everything on it?
[08:39] <zzz_> Okay, where is the ISO file mounted?
[08:39] <Akeru> SecrethX : so...your speed should not be limited...any odly small amount of data in their log ?
[08:40] <juano> Moniker42: nope it should be /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g users,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007 0 0   thats /dev/sda with an s
[08:40] <tim167> zzz_ Desktop/puredynemount
[08:40] <Moniker42> juano, "Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean. "
[08:40] <juano> Moniker42: and also /dev/sda5 /mnt/windows2 ntfs-3g users,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007 0 0
[08:40] <jakob__> is there a known problem booting the ubuntu 6.10 cd on a x60s? It hangs just after saying that the "fsck" is ok
[08:40] <Moniker42> juano, so should i add that to fstab?
[08:40] <SecrethX> yea Akeru one 6kb thing
[08:40] <Akeru> Dimensions : so dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/.... <- external drive bs=1M
[08:40] <juano> Moniker42: substitute in your fstab your lines
[08:40] <Moniker42> kk
[08:40] <zzz_> First you need to copy the contents of the ISO image to another directory.
[08:41] <zzz_> I suggest that you do this as root to preserve the file ownerships
[08:41] <shadowhywind> does tunefs work for fat32 partitions?
[08:41] <tim167> zzz_ ok geve me a minute
[08:41] <Dimensions> Akeru:  it will copy every thing right i dont have to install operating system even ?
[08:41] <tim167> *give
[08:41] <Akeru> SecrethX : you should have dates for these connections...and you should have an entry every 36h (more or less)
[08:41] <zzz_> Do the following as root: cp -av ~/Desktop/puredynemount /tmp/puredynemount
[08:41] <juano> Moniker42: http://rafb.net/p/rZ5DFk43.html
[08:42] <SecrethX> Akeru, well I'll be damned.. I never knew that!
[08:42] <Akeru> Dimensions : yup, dd is a bit-to-bit copy of the drive...meaning it will copy also grub, partion info and data
[08:42] <zzz_> tim167: Does this have anything to do with the live CD named Dynebolic? If yes, then one would have to employ a trick to make the image bootable.
[08:42] <Akeru> SecrethX : :p
[08:42] <tim167> zzz_ i remounted the iso because i was already changing the ownerships etc
[08:42] <Moniker42> juano, thanks - have you just substitued the lines for it? because if you have i'm just one save-button-click away from it already ;)
[08:42] <tim167> zzz_ yes: puredyne is a live CD
[08:43] <Dimensions> thanks Akeru
[08:43] <SecrethX> hehe another 20 minutes of downloading..
[08:43] <Akeru> tim167 : if you type "mount" you should see near the loopback iso "ro" read only (or did I miss something?)
[08:43] <juano> Moniker42: sorry vermind that, use this one
[08:43] <juano> http://rafb.net/p/CurUkU20.html
[08:43] <zzz_> tim167: did you copy the contents of the ISO to a temporary directory?
[08:43] <juano> Moniker42: use this http://rafb.net/p/CurUkU20.html
[08:43] <Akeru> Dimensions : you'r welcome...dd is a nice tool, but it is slow, it will copy even non used disk space
[08:44] <tim167> zzz_ almost
[08:44] <zzz_> tim167: (as root, of course)
[08:44] <juano> Moniker42: first do sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[08:44] <juano> Moniker42: then use http://rafb.net/p/CurUkU20.html for your fstab
[08:44] <Moniker42> too late
[08:44] <Akeru> Dimensions : be caution not to overwrite your main disk
[08:44] <juano> Moniker42: after that doo sudo mount -a
[08:45] <juano> Moniker42: you can change fstab anytime you want
[08:45] <piranesi> can I set the display position with ATI open source driver? How can I do?
[08:45] <MALESORI-> hi all
[08:45] <juano> Moniker42: do what i told ya
[08:45] <Moniker42> juano, http://rafb.net/p/DNQXE684.html
[08:45] <jakob__> hmm the installcd not booting on thinkpad x60s does not seem to be a known problem. But I can't figure out what is going wrong there :(. It just stops before initializing the terminals and loading X
[08:45] <bman_efex> I have it all running right
[08:45] <bman_efex> :)
[08:45] <jakob__> anyone got a similar problem anywhere?
[08:45] <Tru7h> Anybody here good at UnionFS?
[08:46] <juano> Moniker42: use http://rafb.net/p/CurUkU20.html for your fstab
[08:46] <Moniker42> juano, i need to do something back in a few minutes...
[08:46] <ForgeAus> so many filesystems
[08:46] <bman_efex> lol, yeah ^
[08:46] <bman_efex> =)
[08:46] <nkbreau> anyone here running ubuntu on a laptop and have twinview working ?
[08:46] <tim167> zzz_ ok finally copied to /tmp/puredyne_mnt
[08:46] <juano> Moniker42: you have to put that code in /etc/fstab and save
[08:47] <zzz_> tim167: make the modifications you want.
[08:47] <bman_efex> nkbreau: twinview is a program that lets you use 2 monitors?
[08:47] <ForgeAus> cram squash union xfs ufs jfs ext2 ext3 fat16 fat32 ntfs hpfs hfs hfs+...
[08:47] <MALESORI-> a di kush shqip ketu mer ?
[08:47] <Tru7h> You guys any good at Knoppix?
[08:47] <Akeru> nkbreau : not laptop but twinview working
[08:47] <tim167> zzz_ oops its still copying, takes some time aparently
[08:47] <ForgeAus> knoppix is another debian based distro
[08:47] <Akeru> FordPrefect : reierfs, zfs, minix, and so much more :p
[08:47] <tim167> zzz_ making mods now
[08:47] <nkbreau> yeah, when my external monitor is plugged in the laptop monitor shuts off, i want both active
[08:48] <ForgeAus> whats zfs?
[08:48] <ForgeAus> I've heard of minix and I forgot completely about reiserfs and the other reiserfs3 or 4 or whatever the number is

[08:54] <phixnay> hey I just installed ubuntu, and sound won't work. Can someone help me fix this?
[08:54] <Marxus> I need love.
[08:54] <Moniker42> juano, yes.

[08:57] <winston> is it possible to share a ntfs formatted drive on an XP machine with and Ubuntu machine?
[08:57] <Moniker42> right
[08:57] <phixnay> winston: yes
[08:57] <Moniker42> by the way it's windows2
[08:57] <phixnay> !ntfs
[08:57] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:57] <Moniker42> you told me to name it windows2
[08:57] <phixnay> !ntfs-3g
[08:58] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[08:58] <juano> Moniker42: windows  that has sda1  and windows2 that has sda5
[08:58] <zzz_> tim167: cd into /tmp/puredyne_mnt and execute command found in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3485/

[08:58] <Moniker42> no there's just windows2
[08:58] <Moniker42> and there's nothing in it.
[08:58] <tim167> zzz_ : ok tryin it out
[08:58] <juano> Moniker42: sudo mkdir /media/windows
[08:58] <SecrethX> Akeru, yay 4 minutes (this is getting so boring!)
[08:59] <juano> Moniker42: after that do  sudo mount -a
[08:59] <zzz_> tim167: it should be on one line.
[08:59] <iratik> sigh... I know all this room needs is another person asking a simple question - i've got jobs running with root crontab - but since i'm running a mailer script with it - i'm getting mesages from root@mydomain.com ! that can't be good!  is there a way to run a command as root as another user ? like su - but not super user?- like the opposite of sudo - downgrade the role of the issuer of the command so i can get messages from we

[09:01] <Dh3Y0> hi
[09:01] <juano> Moniker42: sudo ls -a /media/windows2
[09:01] <Vuen> hey guys, i have a copy of windows 98 that i'd like to virtualize inside ubuntu. is there free software to do this? if so where do i start?
[09:01] <tim167> zzz_ command is running now
[09:01] <Moniker42> .   Boot     BOOTSECT.BAK            hiberfil.sys  ProgramData    Program Files (x86)  System Volume Information  Windows

[09:02] <Moniker42> ok...
[09:02] <juano> Moniker42: cd /media/windows2
[09:02] <zzz_> tim167: okay
[09:02] <Dh3Y0> hey i tried to install the ubuntu 6.10 from the live cd but it keeps gettin stuck
[09:02] <juano> Moniker42: ls
[09:02] <phixnay> Vuen: you might want to give wine a try. otherwise you need a virtual machine
[09:02] <Dh3Y0> i mean it doesnt move from the second question on
[09:03] <Vuen> phixnay: yeah, no, wine is no good. i'm looking at playing old games like seven kingdoms and diablo, which wine doesn't do
[09:03] <juano> Moniker42: weird that sda1 didnt mount
[09:03] <Moniker42> i'm already in windows2 how do i get out?
[09:03] <juano> Moniker42: cd ..
[09:03] <tim167> phixney try qjacktcl if you dont have it you can install it with synaptic, but not all programs use jack...
[09:03] <Moniker42> but i'm already _in_ windows2 how do i get one level up?
[09:03] <Akeru> Moniker42 : cd .. ?
[09:04] <Dh3Y0> hey i tried to install the ubuntu 6.10 from the live cd but it keeps gettin stuck i mean it doesnt move from the second question on
[09:04] <Moniker42> never mind..
[09:04] <phixnay> vuen: yeah, you need a virtual machine then. let me try to find the one I've heard of
[09:04] <tim167> zzz_ done without errors, I'll burn and try it  now  ! thanks
[09:04] <juano> Moniker42: cd<SPACEBAR><DOT><DOT>
[09:04] <Siyko> if i add something to start in inetd, how do i run that without rebooting?
[09:04] <zzz_> You're welcome.
[09:04] <juano> Moniker42: ENTER after that
[09:04] <zzz_> Try it out with qemu, I suggest.
[09:04] <zzz_> This way you won't have to reboot
[09:04] <Moniker42> juano, right right cya now i thought you meant ".." as in "...and then the rest of the command!"
[09:04] <Akeru> Siyko : sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart
[09:05] <Vuen> zzz_: qemu is way too slow though. there's no hope of running directx games through it
[09:05] <Siyko> thanks akeru
[09:05] <juano> Moniker42: hehe :P
[09:05] <juano> Moniker42: can you boot fine into your sda1 into windows i mean?
[09:05] <Moniker42> ok in /media/windows
[09:05] <zzz_> Vuen: I was thinking of checking a bootable cd, not playing directx games through...
[09:05] <Moniker42> yea can get to the directory anyway
[09:05] <Dh3Y0> IdleOne: are u here
[09:05] <juano> Moniker42: ls
[09:05] <Moniker42> gives me nothing
[09:05] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: yes welcome back
[09:06] <Moniker42> sean@sean-desktop:/media/windows$ ls -a
[09:06] <Moniker42> .  ..
[09:06] <phixnay> vuen: all emulators as far as I know can't access hardware accelleration. if you have a copy of win98, I'd suggest setting up a dual boot
[09:06] <juano> Moniker42: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows
[09:06] <Dh3Y0> IdleOne: thanks
[09:06] <IdleOne> np
[09:06] <IdleOne> whats up
[09:06] <Dh3Y0> IdleOne:i tried to install the ubuntu 6.10 from the live cd but it keeps gettin stuck i mean it doesnt move from the second question on
[09:06] <zzz_> I'd suggest that you don't use Windows at all.
[09:06] <Moniker42> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /media/windows2
[09:06] <Vuen> zzz_: i don't understand. you meant use qemu to check if my windows 98 cd works? of course it works
[09:06] <Dh3Y0> i tried twice
[09:06] <phixnay> tim167: what is jack?
[09:06] <juano> Moniker42: mmm not what we agreed,
[09:07] <Moniker42> i should've mentioned juano, sda1 is new freaky vista NTFS...
[09:07] <BoyBlunder> What is the difference between init.d and inetd?
[09:07] <Moniker42> it's sda5 i want to get into anyway
[09:07] <juano> Moniker42: cat /etc/mtab and paste it
[09:07] <tim167> zzz_ i dont hace qemu installed here, and my apt is broken
[09:07] <Balsamic_Chicken> http://creative.myspace.com/VOD/24/index.html
[09:07] <Balsamic_Chicken> i can't watch that on ubuntu
[09:07] <zzz_> Vuen: No, not for checking your Windows 98 CD. I meant for checking the custom bootable cd image tim167 created.
[09:07] <Balsamic_Chicken> any ideas?
[09:07] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: you downloaded from a official mirror right? also did you check the md5
[09:07] <Moniker42> Balsamic_Chicken, use a proxy based in america
[09:07] <Dh3Y0> i know its gona be slow but i ve been on it for like two to three hours and i m about to hang myself!
[09:07] <Vuen> zzz_: oh. i thought you were talking to me. nevermind, i'm an idiot
[09:07] <tim167> phixnay : http://lau.linuxaudio.org/jack/
[09:08] <zzz_> Vuen: no you are not. Its okay.
[09:08] <Shaolin1> hi guys, i have a C++ and data file I want to comple using g++ - What command line will I need ?
[09:08] <Dh3Y0> if u mean the integrity check yes IdleOne
[09:08] <Balsamic_Chicken> Moniker42 yay thx so much, finally found someone that knows =) could you tell me how to set that up? tytyty =)
[09:08] <juano> Moniker42: in windows 2 you should have sda5
[09:08] <Moniker42> Balsamic_Chicken, i know the 'what' not the 'how' ;)
[09:08] <Moniker42> google "proxy" perhaps?
[09:08] <tim167> phixnay, uhm but i'm not sure if its going to fix your problem actually...
[09:09] <Siyko> if i want something to start on boot, what file do i add it to? inetd or init.d?
[09:09] <Balsamic_Chicken> Moniker42 ok i meant as in general steps
[09:09] <Moniker42> juano, http://rafb.net/p/tohkT955.html
[09:09] <phixnay> tim167: yeah... that's what I was thinking
[09:09] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: I dont know what to tell you man I havent had that problem installing ubuntu as a matter of fact I havent had any problems ever installing ubuntu. maybe someone else can help you
[09:09] <phixnay> does anybody else know how I can make sound work on linux
[09:09] <Balsamic_Chicken> Moniker42 i got a list of proxies already, what would i do now?
[09:09] <Vuen> zzz_, phixnay, should i be looking at Xen for virtualizing Windows 98?
[09:09] <Moniker42> use one of them
[09:09] <Shaolin1> anyone ?
[09:09] <Akeru> Vuen : vmplayer ?
[09:09] <Moniker42> you just connect through the proxy to the website instead of going to the website yourself...
[09:09] <juano> Moniker42: if you only want sda5 then change fstab for this: http://rafb.net/p/CkRAgO37.html
[09:10] <Moniker42> copy the address of the myspace and enter it into the proxy...
[09:10] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: is having problems installing ubuntu. it is freezing/getting stuck on the second question. anybody have any ideas?
[09:10] <Dh3Y0> is there a non graphical method i can use, cos i think that could be it slowing down, if there is i d like to know where i can get the commands from please
[09:10] <phixnay> Vuen: vmplayer might be better, but if you just want it to play games, I don't know why you don't just dual boot
[09:10] <Shaolin1> how can I compile a c++ and data file using G++ ?????
[09:10] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: you can download the Alternat CD wich is a server install ( no graphics )
[09:10] <Moniker42> ok juano, now what? by the way i appreciate the time you're spending here...
[09:10] <Vuen> phixnay: i already have win xp dual booted. i don't like taking down my box just to play some games :(
[09:11] <variant> Shaolin1: you need build-essential
[09:11] <juano> Moniker42: sudo mount -a
[09:11] <Dh3Y0> IdleOne: but that would take very long,no?
[09:11] <variant> Shaolin1: which includes gcc
[09:11] <juano> Moniker42: no prob
[09:11] <phixnay> vuen: why can't you play them on XP? just curious
[09:11] <Moniker42> Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not supported
[09:11] <Moniker42> Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean.
[09:11] <variant> Shaolin1: otherwise known as the Gnu Compiler Collection
[09:11] <Vuen> phixnay: i can. i don't want to have to reboot to play them.
[09:11] <Shaolin1> variant: I've got all the required stuff. Ive just forgot the commandline for compiling a c++ and data file together
[09:11] <juano> Moniker42: mm something seems wrong with sda5
[09:12] <variant> Shaolin1: ah, dunno. man gcc :)
[09:12] <Vuen> phixnay: i have to sign out of everything, msn irc etc, i have a svn server running on here, my torrents stop downloading, etc
[09:12] <Moniker42> aaaaa! all my stuff!
[09:12] <phixnay> Vuen: right.
[09:12] <variant> SecrethX: did it work?
[09:12] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: well it will take the time it takes but after you install the server version you wont have any graphics at all. you would then need to enable !universe and !multiverse and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:12] <zzz_> tim167: I got to go. See you later.
[09:12] <Moniker42> vista's killed it all. i just KNOW it...
[09:12] <phixnay> Vuen: try one of the vms then
[09:12] <juano> Moniker42: ok lets do this
[09:12] <juano> Moniker42: sudo mkdir /media/mysda5
[09:12] <Vuen> phixnay: well that's what i'm asking. Xen? VMware?
[09:12] <Dh3Y0> thats complicated
[09:12] <variant> Moniker42: you installed vista and now can't mount the partition?
[09:12] <SecrethX> variant, another 6 minutes
[09:12] <Dh3Y0> well i m gonna try again
[09:13] <IdleOne> !vista
[09:13] <ubotu> vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[09:13] <Moniker42> variant, i can't even boot windows because it's deliberately been made incompatible with grub!
[09:13] <Dh3Y0> IdleOne: i know where to find you :P, ty, l8rz
[09:13] <Akeru> Vuen : vmware is really easy to use, xen is more complicated...you can first try vmware and then decide what to do
[09:13] <IdleOne> Dh3Y0: np
[09:13] <phixnay> vuen: try vmware
[09:13] <Vuen> Akeru: which one is faster?
[09:13] <juano> Moniker42: sudo mkdir /media/mysda5
[09:13] <Moniker42> done that juano
[09:13] <Vuen> Akeru: which ones are open source?
[09:13] <juano> Moniker42: then use this as fstab http://rafb.net/p/04Vobv46.html
[09:14] <variant> Moniker42: you can do it still
[09:14] <variant> Moniker42: hold on a sec
[09:14] <juano> Moniker42: sudo mount -a after the replacing
[09:14] <Akeru> Vuen : xen is open source and fast, vmware have closed sources and free product
[09:14] <variant> Moniker42: before changing your fstab as someone just suggested be very very carefull
[09:14] <andre> hey vista is out anybody converting back
[09:14] <Moniker42> he seems to know what he's talking about variant
[09:14] <Moniker42> i get the same error juano
[09:15] <Vuen> Akeru: ah, thanks
[09:15] <juano> Moniker42: well something is wrong with sda5
[09:15] <Moniker42> right
[09:15] <SecrethX> andre, hell no, not even if they paid me :x
[09:15] <variant> Moniker42: please pastebin the outpu of fdisk -l
[09:15] <juano> Moniker42: dunno, you got vista on sda5 ?
[09:15] <Moniker42> #
[09:15] <Moniker42> juano, no that's sda1
[09:15] <andre> hahaha ya me too
[09:15] <juano> Moniker42: ok
[09:16] <variant> Moniker42: so you need to mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && ls /mnt
[09:16] <SecrethX> andre, well, i dunno, i never liked the design of vista anyways
[09:16] <andre> i never seen it
[09:16] <gili_> hello....
[09:17] <gili_> what do i need to install to acess bluetooth phone
[09:17] <breanna> hello :S i'm a linux noob and having some troubles getting my nic to detect, could you point me in the right direction perhapse?
[09:17] <Vuen> Akeru: ok, well i'm not afraid of complications, and i like open source. gonna try setting up xen
[09:17] <Akeru> breanna : which version of Ubuntu are you using ? and what nic card is it ?
[09:17] <tonyyarusso> breanna: I'd start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport and look up the card under network devices
[09:17] <Akeru> Vuen : hehe, good luck ;)
[09:17] <SecrethX> andre, i saw some screenshots, and a friend of mine had the beta stuff.. i just never liked it, if always used the classic theme in windows, even in winxp where it is disabled by default (it looks like 98)
[09:17] <gili_> bluetooth help please?
[09:17] <andre> im still xp on one side i havent figured out how too run everything i used to run in xp
[09:18] <breanna> just got 6.10, nic is realtek RTL8139 wired nick
[09:18] <breanna> **nic
[09:18] <Moniker42> variant: ?
[09:19] <paras> channel, i am running dapper drake under i686 kernel. is i686 meant be be ok for core2 duo processors?
[09:19] <breanna> um.. AMD64? is that what you mean
[09:19] <Tru7h> I've just installed Ubuntu 6.06 using the alternate CD, but as soon as I boot up my monitor disconnects itself. Ubuntu has worked fine previously on that computer, but I had to reinstall it.
[09:19] <Akeru> gili : To see if your Bluetooth-device is supported check this site: http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html
[09:19] <drx> For robustness, recoverability and reliability over speed and ease of expansion am I better off with regular paritions or LVM?
[09:20] <Akeru> drx : regular
[09:20] <breanna> my nic is automatically detected in other distros like when i did gentoo live cd, but i would rather do ubuntu.  is it because i got the 64 bit version that it wont detect ?
[09:21] <SecrethX> variant, its setting up
[09:21] <drx> I thought so, now I want to run a host OS with 2 Xen guests, how would you parition that on a 250GB drive?
[09:21] <mon^rch> 64 bit vers are slow and I cant see why anyone would use them
[09:21] <SecrethX> variant, with the login setup, what do I need to fill in? (y = new user file, n = old user file)
[09:22] <Akeru> breanna : if you don't have more than 4gig of ram, there is no point runnning  64bits os...(more or less ;) )
[09:22] <feld> i need to speak with someone who has a lot of experience with Ubuntu's raid and lvm
[09:22] <drx> I'm thinking 3 primary partitions for host os (boot, swap, system) and 1 extended for the guests -- sound about right?
[09:22] <rax> Ciao
[09:22] <breanna> ok well i am new it said for AMD64 i should pick that one x.x in any case is that why my nic wouldn't be detected ?
[09:22] <Akeru> drx : yup...does not sound silly to me :p
[09:23] <SecrethX> akeru, with the login setup, what do I need to fill in? (y = new user file, n = old user file)
[09:23] <SecrethX> what would you suggest? ;o
[09:23] <Akeru> breanna : could be...not sure though
[09:23] <Juhaz> Akeru, that might be true if the architectures were otherwise identical, but AMD64 can make use of extra registers that allows performance improvement over IA-32
[09:23] <sjh_> anyone know if wiki.ubuntu.com down atm? or is my connection just being lame?
[09:23] <drx> Akeru, what about using ext3 versus reiser?
[09:23] <SideWay> i have a 75 gig harddrive thats empty and a 45 gig with ubuntu on it, is there a way i can format the 75gig and copy everything over to it from ubuntu on the 45 gig harddrive?
[09:24] <Akeru> Juhaz : yeah thats why said  more or less...:p
[09:24] <Akeru> drx : ext3...the reiser guy is in jail :p
[09:24] <mcquaid> I'm having stability problems (random reboots). but not with general usage, usually playing a game, the odd time watching a movie
[09:24] <Akeru> SecrethX : did not get what you said
[09:24] <ubunturaid> h/join ubuntu.de
[09:24] <mcquaid> i tried memtest and it can't pass one test.  it actually shut down the machine.  but it fails at random times
[09:24] <SecrethX> akeru, with the login setup, what do I need to fill in? (y = new user file, n = old user file) << which one would you suggest?
[09:25] <drx> akeru, was reiser THAT bad?
[09:25] <mcquaid> I'm thinking this could be more a power supply issue vs a ram issue.  any opinions?
[09:25] <Akeru> drx : rumours are he killed his wife...
[09:25] <LjL> i'm not sure a filesystem should be adviced over another depending on the personal situation of the developers... at any rate, ext3 is a robust, reasonably performant filesystem, and it's the Ubuntu default, so likely the best supported
[09:25] <mcquaid> cause wouldn't bad ram fail in the same place each time?
[09:25] <Akeru> SecrethX : not sure, what file is it ?

[09:27] <bosozoku> the driver just reads the RAID settings from the BIOS config page

[09:30] <bosozoku> ubunturaid ---> http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto
[09:30] <juano> SideWay: you would need something like partimage
[09:31] <[^Twen^] > Akeru: how's that possible? The ubuntu system is allready installed. He just took an restart
[09:31] <bosozoku> Read
[09:31] <SideWay> i have ubuntu on the current harddrive (45gig) and i want to copy everything over to the 75 gig one so either will boot
[09:31] <Vuen> Akeru: mm, looks like i can't use xen, because it doesn't appear to have LRM which i need for my wireless card
[09:31] <SideWay> im pretty much out of room on the 45gig
[09:31] <gili_> bluetooth help please?
[09:31] <gili_> what do i need to install to acess bluetooth phone
[09:31] <feld> Does anyone else know of an outstanding bug with Edgy + MDADM/LVM ? It won't freakin boot after I install them
[09:31] <bosozoku> sideway, so use it as a boot drive
[09:31] <bosozoku> and set up some partitions
[09:31] <SideWay> already did
[09:31] <SideWay> now how do i copy everything over to it
[09:32] <bosozoku>     /usr and /home on the 75 gig
[09:32] <bosozoku> then you'll have 120 gigs
[09:32] <Siyko> I want proftpd to run from inetd, so when someone connects to it the process runs. What inetd files do I configure to do this?

[09:33] <Akeru> Vuen : Hmmmm...
[09:33] <superbear> hi
[09:33] <Vuen> Akeru: so, vmware player it is :)
[09:33] <SideWay> what i want bosozoku is to basically just mirror everything over to the 75 so i'll have an empty 45 harddrive
[09:33] <gili> Akeru: my bluetooth is supported i can see it in the device manager app
[09:33] <Akeru> Vuen : hehe, vmplyer canno create virtual machines it can only play them
[09:34] <Akeru> gili : so where is the problem ?
[09:34] <Jowi> SideWay, one way of doing it is to just create an ext3 partition on it and copy your /home to it: cp -rp /home /dev/newpartition (-p preserves ownership aso)  then map the new drive/partition in /etc/fstab
[09:34] <mirf> wherabouts should I be defining xsetroot ?

[09:36] <Akeru> cp -rp /home /dev/newpartition  ? I'd rather not do that...won't this actually screw up the partiton ?
[09:36] <Jowi> SideWay, there are other ways as well, but I don't know how to mirror a drive bootblocks and everything... :/

[09:36] <dysmas> Akeru: that would be bad!
[09:36] <Akeru> dysmas : that's what I thought
[09:36] <dysmas> copy it into the mountpoint, not into the device,
[09:36] <SideWay> i just want to move everything over to the bigger harddrive
[09:36] <SideWay> exactly as it is now
[09:37] <SideWay> the empty harddrive is formated
[09:37] <vitriol> is there a way to install feisty in text mode?
[09:37] <dysmas> if you have 2 identical drives you could do "cat dev/hda1 | /dev/hdb1" or similar

[09:38] <bosozoku> split command
[09:38] <mirf> spinster, look on the xchat website
[09:38] <mirf> search google for xchat autoban script
[09:38] <bosozoku> pipe tar cvzf to split
[09:38] <mirf> you'll get a lot further than asking in here I think
[09:38] <SideWay> it just said no remaining space left on disk Jowi
[09:38] <spinster> mirf: i was search and i can't find :(
[09:38] <menza> Hye, how do I install 6.10 from console?
[09:38] <menza> hey*

[09:39] <jakob___> I got a problem on a fresh install of 6.10 on a Lenovo X60s laptop. Pressing one of the display brightness keys in X makes the whole screen go dark. I can only reactivate it by changing to a console and restarting X. Does anybody have an idea about this?
[09:39] <spinster> mirf: can you search from some website and find and tell me a website for to i download the script pls ?
[09:39] <SideWay> did i just screw everything up Jowi ?
[09:39] <Akeru> vienna : edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace edgy by festy
[09:39] <ghatak> bosozoku: thank man, how reliable is that, i used to use Winrar in windows to split and send files, but since i dont have windows anymore i dont have this luxury :)
[09:39] <dysmas> ghatak: there is a command named "split" for this sort of hting
[09:40] <bosozoku> ghatak it's reliable enough
[09:40] <Jowi> SideWay, that's why you copy it to the new drive/partition. first create the partition on the new drive. then mount it (mount /dev/??? /mnt/whatever). then copy it over.
[09:40] <ghatak> Kewl
[09:40] <ghatak> thank mate

[09:40] <Siyko> I want proftpd to run from inetd, so when someone connects to it the process runs. What inetd files do I configure to do this?
[09:40] <SideWay> im trying to copy it to /dev/hda from hdb
[09:40] <SideWay> so /mnt/home?
[09:41] <SideWay> or does it matter?
[09:41] <Jowi> SideWay, it does not matter where the mount point is, no.
[09:41] <Akeru> Hamled : yup
[09:41] <mirf> spinster, http://cancelbot.sourceforge.net/opbot.html
[09:42] <SideWay> what would the filesystem type be?
[09:42] <SideWay> ext3?
[09:44] <mirf> wtf
[09:44] <SideWay> Jowi, what should i put as the filesystem type mount /dev/hda /mnt/user ... ?
[09:44] <mirf> you're welcome spinster
[09:45] <Jowi> SideWay, example: my current home is at /dev/hda2 and I want it on /dev/hdb1 (which is a ext3 partition) here's what I do. "mkdir /mnt/newhome" - "mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/newhome" - "cp -rvp /home /mnt/newhome" - when done edit /etc/fstab and change the /home partition to be /dev/hdb1.
[09:45] <pbureau> is there a reason why my wifi is eth1 (reconized as wired network card) instead of ra0 in ifconfig and iwconfig and is there a way to change that quirk ?
[09:45] <MarcC> is there something like Civil Netizen for Ubuntu?
[09:45] <Jowi> SideWay, you do not mount the disk (hda) you mount a partition on the disk (hda1)
[09:45] <Jowi> SideWay, that was only an example though. I don't know what your partition names are
[09:46] <SideWay> hda1 is boot
[09:46] <SideWay> hda2 is swap and hda3 is root
[09:46] <pbureau> SideWay- depends on that parttion type could be ext2, etx3, swap all depends on what you did when your partitioned it
[09:46] <dysmas> getting ones head around partitions is confusing when you are used to c: etc
[09:46] <SideWay> lol dysmas
[09:46] <SideWay> agreed
[09:47] <dysmas> try "mount /dev/hdax /mnt/whatever -t auto"
[09:47] <Akeru> MarcC : what is it ?
[09:47] <LjL> dysmas, SideWay: how so... at least with the hdXY scheme you know what HD you're talking about, with C: D: E: F: you don't have a clue
[09:47] <pbureau> dysmas- lol think of c: (type of partition) could be equal to numerous /dev/hdxx or not.. all depends ";)
[09:47] <MarcC> Akeru: drop a file in a window, get a text token. Mail token to another user, he drops it in the window, and his PC connects to yours and starts downloading the file, up to 4GB
[09:47] <Siyko> what file do i modify to add shit to inetd?
[09:48] <LjL>  /etc/inetd.conf?
[09:48] <Akeru> MarcC : Hmm...never heard of this, could be cool
[09:48] <MarcC> Akeru: Civil Netizen say they will have a Linux client in 2007 but I was hoping there is a solution in the meantime - it is a really awesome tool.
[09:48] <phixnay> can anyone help me get sound to work?
[09:49] <LjL> !sound
[09:49] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:49] <dysmas> you get devices (the hard-drive) and you get partitions within it ... its simple enough, but many many many windows users have never encountered a (multiply) partitioned drive,

[09:50] <SideWay> i did mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/user -t auto and it returned need filesystem type

[09:50] <dysmas> but they look like distinct phsical drives, people become accustomed to that
[09:50] <LjL> if Windows users don't partition drives... well that's just their habits, it does not make the naming scheme more or less confusing

[09:50] <LjL> dysmas: how does /dev/hda1 not look like a distinct physical drive?
[09:51] <Akeru> MarcC : Well, so basically it compress a set of files (file-roller can do that) and it sends your ip adress with a port to download the file to friends...much like ftp
[09:51] <dysmas> in linux, it doesnt, because it isnt, its a partition, in windows it woudl have its own hdd icon in "my computer"

[09:52] <Jowi> Akeru, MarcC ... ummm got the name mixed up. wait i find the right one
[09:52] <Akeru> Jowi : zeroconf is a tool to configure ip adresses

[09:54] <benkillin> Is there a driver for Broadcom BCM4318 for Ubuntu 6.06?
[09:54] <bosozoku> does it ever boot to a black screen upon starting X?
[09:54] <dysmas> LjL: true, just saying that when plug in a hard drive, it isnt considered that they will find life easier with a better understanding of why it is the way it is ... the "everything is a file" model is pretty abstract to ex windows users
[09:54] <Moniker42> juano, i just want to make a post on the ubuntu forums but i'm not entirely sure how to word the problem without just saying "my ntfs's won't work!"
[09:54] <Akeru> Aladdin- : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Extra_Fonts
[09:54] <pbureau> Dayna1- is it at random or when you step away from it (maybe the power/sleep mode kicking in)?
[09:54] <Dayna1> Bosozoku, just my own. Intel 4 processor. It doesn't boot to a blank screen.
[09:55] <bosozoku> dayna1, is it a Thinkpad?
[09:55] <Akeru> benkillin : don't think so...you'll have to edgy kernel I think
[09:55] <nikitis> Anyone?
[09:55] <LjL> dysmas: i don't like that model for that matter
[09:55] <benkillin> Akeru: so Edgy has support for that chip?

[09:55] <Akeru> benkillin : think so, google a bit for it not sure
[09:55] <Moniker42> Balsamic_Chicken, just try something like www.dinnerpalace.com enter the web address there
[09:56] <devilsadvocate> Balsamic_Chicken, what exactly do you want to do?
[09:56] <Dayna1> Pbureau, I think it's when I'm away from it. But sometimes it doesn't... like I come back to it soon enough. It's been for like... 5 months... so I can't even think about all the times this has happened
[09:56] <bzaks> I recently installed HTML tidy into my computer through Synaptic as well as everything i could find that was php and tidy related. How on earth do I get PHP to recognize the HTML Tidy extension?

[09:56] <bosozoku> dayna1, does it have a Savage driver for X?
[09:57] <Aladdin-> Akeru, thx :-)
[09:57] <Moniker42> bzaks, php config perhaps? the config file i mean... i really don't know actually. #php would be good for it i think

[09:57] <bzaks> I just can't find anything! driving me nuts!
[09:57] <Dayna1> Bosozoku, I'm not sure... I haven't changed much of the drivers... I put in the... fgblahblah for ATI and that's pretty much it for drivers I've touched.
[09:57] <dregin> is there a difference between the desktop install CD for edgy and the Live CD?
[09:57] <pbureau> misja- lspci
[09:58] <bosozoku> k so it's not the same problem i had
[09:58] <Moniker42> Balsamic_Chicken, proxies for what you're wanting (making it seem like you're from the states) shouldn't be complicated - no need to change any firefox settings or anything
[09:58] <dregin> I can find a download link for a specifically "live" CD
[09:58] <nikitis> I'm trying to install a root '/' on partition 3, and '/boot' on partition 2, but Gparted program won't let me.  There is a Windows Installaiton on Partition 1.  It's all 1 Harddrive.  Can anyone help me out and tell me why this won't work?
[09:58] <seanix> hello all :)
[09:58] <Balsamic_Chicken> devilsadvocate is there any work arounds so i can watch those videos
[09:58] <Akeru> dregin : the desktop cd is a live cd that can be installed
[09:58] <Beverage> dregin: the desktop cd is a live disk
[09:58] <chris_> how do i execute a .bin?
[09:58] <devilsadvocate> Balsamic_Chicken, your browser will have to lie about your operating system.. i suppose there might be an extension to do that, although im not sure
[09:58] <Dayna1> bosozoku, thanks though! :) I don't think any one person can figure out all the questions asked in this crazy place
[09:58] <seanix> would anyone give me a hand installing grub on my laptop? (have Ubuntu 6.10 up and runnting)
[09:59] <Beverage> dregin: you can install ubuntu from the live disk aswell there nolonger is live and isntall disk they are one
[09:59] <nikitis> chris_: ./execute.bin
[09:59] <dregin> Akeru: yeah that's what I presumed. How do I boot straight to the OS without installing though. I installed XP after edgy and it overwrote the GRUB bootloader :\
[09:59] <Balsamic_Chicken> devilsadvocate ok =)
[09:59] <Akeru> chris_ : google earth ? chmod +x file.bin ; ./file.bin
[09:59] <phixnay> can anyone help me install sound on ubuntu? I'm stuck I tried all the guides
[09:59] <devilsadvocate> phixnay, do you have an exotic sound card?
[09:59] <jkillaz> pbureau: hey!
[09:59] <Akeru> dregin : simply put the cd and wait...you will end up with a gnome desktop, this is the live cd runing
[09:59] <bosozoku> dayna1, also Google is your friend
[09:59] <sacater> whats the name of the ubuntu 64bit chatroom?
[09:59] <phixnay> I have onboard audio
[09:59] <devilsadvocate> phixnay, check your volume setting, make sure all the sliders are up and unmuted
[10:00] <bosozoku> since a lot of issues have been experienced by others and posted about elsewhere already
[10:00] <phixnay> clicking on it gives an error
[10:00] <dregin> Akeru: thanks :)
[10:00] <Akeru> dregin : you'r welcome
[10:00] <devilsadvocate> phixnay, what error?
[10:00] <phixnay> devilsadvocate: I tried a lot of things and pasted them here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3498/
[10:00] <gh0st> hello, how can i auto-mount my ENCRYPTED harddisk (with truecrypt, fat32) and at the first access, be asked for the decryption password? is it possible with Fstab?
[10:00] <benkillin> pbureau: thanks
[10:00] <phixnay> devilsadvocate: the error is No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[10:01] <Akeru> gh0st : not sure you can...is it possible to mount a trucrypt file system from linux ?
[10:01] <chris_> nikitis, it doesnt work
[10:01] <Dayna1> bosozoku, oh yes. That's how I've eliminated the ram and the harddrives and resynced the processor... the clean install was just for a last ditch effort, nothing google said. Thanks! I'll play around somemore with this screensaver idea
[10:01] <dysmas> Akeru: using fuse i guess so
[10:01] <Dhjiz> hello
[10:01] <gh0st> Akeru, yes, no problem, but i would like it to be automatic
[10:01] <dregin> Akeru: just realised that I rebooted the PC before coming downstairs to this one. it's still at the Install menu (text, OEM, recovery etc.)
[10:01] <Akeru> dysmas : indeed ? Hmm nice...
[10:01] <gh0st> *with fstab
[10:01] <dregin> Akeru: that's 10 minutes ago now....
[10:02] <nikitis> chris_:  do a chmod +x execute.bin first
[10:02] <Dhjiz> hello, I have a problem with Ubuntu
[10:02] <Akeru> dregin : you got an "alternate cd " ?
[10:02] <Dhjiz> I have no sound
[10:02] <Dhjiz> since yesterday
[10:02] <dregin> Akeru: I didnt think so
[10:02] <Dhjiz> there was an update
[10:02] <dysmas> gh0st: how about doing it on login rather than first access?
[10:02] <dregin> Akeru: ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386
[10:02] <Dhjiz> I halted my computer yesterday
[10:02] <nikitis> chris_: "chmod +x file.bin"   Then in terminal type "./file.bin" in the same directory
[10:02] <Dhjiz> and today morning I had no sound at all
[10:02] <Akeru> dregin : Hmmm...this is weird
[10:02] <Dhjiz> everything worked fine yesterday
[10:03] <gh0st> dysmas: ok, if it's possible :-)
[10:03] <Dhjiz> please help me
[10:03] <nomasteryoda> Dhjiz, try opneing a terminal window
[10:03] <Akeru> dysmas : automount ?
[10:03] <Dhjiz> yes
[10:03] <nomasteryoda> Dhjiz, and then typing alsamixer
[10:03] <dregin> Im gonna burn that image again just in case I somehow got an image somewhere else and have since deleted it...
[10:03] <nomasteryoda> to see if a channel is muted....
[10:03] <Dhjiz> everything is ok
[10:03] <gh0st> dysmas: how? i've already found some (bloated) scripts and would like to make it as clean, reversible and fast as possible
[10:03] <Dhjiz> master and pcm are at 100
[10:03] <nomasteryoda> use cursor keys to navigate around there...
[10:03] <nomasteryoda> hmmmm
[10:03] <Jowi> Dhjiz, try to kill esd
[10:03] <Dhjiz> the external amplifier is on
[10:03] <nomasteryoda> laptop?
[10:04] <dysmas> gh0st: what command do you use to mount it? cop-out would be to put that into the startup apps front end (which i assume just writes out to a .rc somewher), go to system > sessions then third tab
[10:04] <Beverage> can someone please explain to me how to take off permissions on a folder?
[10:04] <Dhjiz> esd is not running
[10:04] <Dhjiz> but artsd is running
[10:04] <misja> pbureau: this is what I get from lspci -> 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]  AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0). is the driver SiS then? or?
[10:05] <dysmas> gh0st: err... or "system > preferences > sessions
[10:05] <nomasteryoda> master is not muted?
[10:05] <phixnay> devilsadvocate: any luck?
[10:06] <gh0st> dysmas: i was using that command which asks me for a password in command line... do you think it will to (and where?) in startup?
[10:06] <Dhjiz> master is not muted
[10:06] <chris_> how do i open the sources list whats the command before the directory, cause vi /etc/apt/sources.list doesnt work
[10:06] <Dhjiz> everything is ok
[10:06] <devilsadvocate> phixnay, looking at it, cant find many refernces to it
[10:06] <jkillaz> guys how is it possible that my wireless lan is configured as eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces? should I change this to wlan0?
[10:06] <Beverage> ubotu: chown
[10:06] <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
[10:06] <Akeru> chris_ : sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:06] <gh0st> dysmas: command: truecrypt -M "rw,sync,utf8,uid=$UID,umask=0007" /dev/hdx /home/user/myhd (for ex.)
[10:06] <devilsadvocate> phixnay, dont think i'll be much help to you
[10:06] <phixnay> ok, thanks anyway
[10:07] <JordiGH> I have an issue. I'm using the nvidia binary blob, and I have two cards with two monitors. Using xinerama. It works fine, except that no OpenGL app seems to work. Not xscreensaver, not nexuiz, and doing glxinfo gives me the same error message. I reckon I need to play with my xorg.conf: http://platinum.linux.pl/~jordi/xorg.conf
[10:07] <dysmas> gh0st: can you supply the password as an argument to the command, or does it ask in a manner similar to "su"
[10:07] <jkillaz> if anyone can guide me through these steps.... cause I had it working in 6.06 but after upgrade to 6.10 it stopped
[10:07] <Xif> How do I change the value of Ubuntu's default "text editor"?
[10:07] <Dhjiz> I don't know what to do next :s
[10:07] <jkillaz> guide me through the steps of setting up my wlan
[10:07] <gh0st> dysmas: sorry i don't understand?
[10:08] <dysmas> gh0st: hang on i'll look that command up
[10:08] <Akeru> gh0st : can you add your password in the command line ?
[10:08] <chris_> command for natualius please? :)
[10:08] <v_> hi. anyone know how to specify what packages debootstrap installs?
[10:08] <gh0st> Akeru: yes, it's directly after pressing enter, it's asked
[10:08] <gh0st> dysmas:ok
[10:08] <devilsadvocate> chris_, nautilus :P
[10:09] <chris_> well that! whats the command
[10:09] <v_> it's been so long since i've really used it
[10:09] <Akeru> chris_ : you type 'nautilus' in a terminal
[10:09] <devilsadvocate> chris_, nautils _is_ the comand
[10:09] <jrib> Hi, what would be the best way for me to install gcc and g++ 2.72 on edgy?
[10:09] <devilsadvocate> command* , nautilus*
[10:09] <Akeru> 2.72 ?
[10:09] <Akeru> jrib : wow
[10:09] <JordiGH> The error message is here: http://platinum.linux.pl/~jordi/error
[10:10] <devilsadvocate> jrib, sure is 2.72?
[10:10] <devilsadvocate> its*
[10:10] <jrib> Akeru: heh, yes, I have some old code here from 95 that fails to compile on 2.95 and I have a theory it will compile fine on anything before then
[10:10] <nikitis> Need help with Partitioning.  PST
[10:10] <Beverage> ubotu: chmod
[10:10] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[10:10] <gh0st> dysmas: or do you think it would be possible to do all with a shortcut on the desktop? my only concern is how will i be asked to enter the pass?
[10:10] <nikitis> !gparted
[10:10] <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
[10:10] <Akeru> jrib : maybe it would be easier to fix that code :p
[10:10] <jrib> Akeru: probably :P
[10:11] <nikitis> Someone needs to fix gparted
[10:11] <Akeru> jrib : is it a long code ?
[10:11] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Prometheus|away about away | Prometheus|away, see the private message from Ubotu
[10:11] <Dhjiz> anyone to help me ?
[10:11] <Akeru> Dhjiz : what's the question ?
[10:11] <Beverage> hello, i just install LAMP and i need to know how to unlock my /var/www/ folder so i can manipulate folders and files inside, anyone know?
[10:11] <jrib> Akeru: yes
[10:12] <Dhjiz> i have no sound since yesterday
[10:12] <tonyyarusso> Beverage: Add your user to the www-data group.
[10:12] <dysmas> gh0st: i hsould think so, just not come across it before, been meaning to set it up myself for a while hto
[10:12] <nikitis> Some help here please
[10:12] <Akeru> jrib : Hmmm....grab an ooooold slackware using vmware ? :p
[10:12] <Beverage> tonyarusso: would you mind shedding some light on how I would go about doing that?
[10:12] <gh0st> dysmas: so what did you come up with ;-) ?
[10:13] <jrib> Akeru: hmm that's a good idea
[10:13] <Enselic``> nikitis: whats you rproblem?
[10:13] <jrib> Akeru: thanks
[10:13] <Akeru> jrib :you'r welcome
[10:13] <tonyyarusso> Beverage: Two options: Graphically, System > Admin > Users and Groups.  cli: 'sudo adduser Beverage www-data'
[10:13] <Beverage> okay thanks
[10:13] <Akeru> Beverage : ...
[10:13] <Akeru> d'oh was saying the same thing :)
[10:13] <gh0st> dysmas: any solution?
[10:14] <gh0st> well i'll try anyway
[10:15] <nikitis> Enselic``: Well i have a Windows Partition on sda1, and a 100mb partition used for /boot sda2, and 27GB for Linux on Partition 3 sda.  The 100MB Partition is blanked, and the 27GB partition is blanked.  When I try to install ubuntu on those partitions i keep getting a No root file system, when I clearly marked them
[10:15] <Akeru> nikitis : using gparted or the desktop cd install ?
[10:15] <Shane-S> where is the hostname of a system normally stored, in if.conf?
[10:15] <nikitis> installing from liveCD
[10:16] <squeaks> i did something stupid, my system cycled power while doing a system update, and now it kernel panics, is there a way to re-do the update from install disk?
[10:16] <Akeru> nikitis : I faced the same problem...I had to grab an alternate cd and do it text mode
[10:16] <dysmas> gh0st: nothing obvious on the website
[10:17] <Akeru> squeaks : can you boot using an older kernel in the grub menu ? or the recovery mode ?
[10:17] <nikitis> Akeru: it's at the screen that says Mount Point.  I selected '/' and partition 3 (sda3), and /boot sda2, select it to reformat, and hit forward,  Then an error comes up and says No Root File System
[10:17] <dysmas> gh0st: when you enter that command, on the next line does it say something like "enter password :"
[10:17] <gh0st> dysmas: well if you want the scripts, tell me (they allow you to mount it directly at the boot up)
[10:17] <nikitis> i just selected '/' to be the root filesystem
[10:17] <gh0st> dysmas: yes
[10:17] <Akeru> nikitis : I faceed the same problem once...my solution was to use the alternate cd and do it text mode
[10:17] <nikitis> so what the heck
[10:18] <nikitis> how do I do it in text mode?
[10:18] <Akeru> dysmas : the windows version accepts a /p <password here> command argument
[10:18] <squeaks> Akeru, to my knowledge there is no older kernel, at least it didn't add itself to the menu
[10:18] <Akeru> squeaks : then the recovery one ?
[10:18] <pbureau> is there a reason why my wifi is eth1 (reconized as wired network card) instead of ra0 in ifconfig and iwconfig and is there a way to change that quirk ?
[10:18] <Beverage> tonyyarusso: that sudo command you gave me doesnt give me access to the folder...before i reformatted someoen get me a chown command it was really long...that work you wouldnt know what it would have been would you?
[10:18] <dysmas> Akeru: thats me being a tool and skipping over all of that documentatoin then :)
[10:18] <Wulfie> hey folks - I want to install a new kernel (2.6.18 or 19) can I apt get that in 6.10?
[10:19] <Akeru> dysmas : :p hope there is an equivalent for linux
[10:19] <dysmas> gh0st: type in "truecrypt --help" does it say anything about specifying passwords as an argument
[10:19] <gh0st> dysmas: the best solution (for me!) would be to click on shortcut, THEN be asked for password, and voila :-)  ... but with the script you can automate all so that everything happens while booting (entering the pass too)
[10:19] <Balsamic_Chicken> what is the firefox addon that will let it tell websites that i'm running on windows rather than kubuntu
[10:19] <juano> nikitis:
[10:19] <juano> nikitis: how are you ?
[10:19] <tonyyarusso> Beverage: What are the permissions on /var/www right now?  (ls -l will tell you)  You may need to 'sudo chown -R root:www-data /var/www'.
[10:19] <nikitis> juano: got my drivers working.  Got another problem though with different computer
[10:19] <Akeru> Balsamic_Chicken : search the firefox site with keyword "user-agent"
[10:19] <nikitis> Message me
[10:19] <gh0st> dysmas: script found here (german site, look at the bottom): http://privat.heinzelzwerg.de/howtos/debian/truecrypt/
[10:20] <juano> nikitis: great , you installed ubuntu from scratch ?
[10:20] <Balsamic_Chicken> Akeru k thx, what firefox site?
[10:20] <juano> nikitis: whats the other prob ?
[10:20] <nikitis> juano yes
[10:20] <nikitis> Partitioning problem on a different PC

[10:20] <Balsamic_Chicken> Akeru thx alot =)

[10:21] <Beverage> -rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data   20 2007-01-30 12:12 testphp.php
[10:21] <juano> nikitis: read your message before, seems your root partition is your third partition in sda ?
[10:21] <nikitis> juano: i have a laptop with NTFS on sda1, and I have already an sda2 for /boot and sda3 for linux, but ubuntu's live cd won't let me move forward even after establishing sda3 as '/'
[10:22] <nikitis> juano: correct
[10:22] <gh0st> dysmas, Akeru : btw... i  want the pass to be entered manually (not with argument)
[10:22] <juano> nikitis: swap ?
[10:22] <tonyyarusso> Beverage: Your main concern will be the directory itself actually.  Try it with ls -la and just tell me the line for . (yes, a single dot)
[10:22] <juano> nikitis: did you make a swap ?
[10:22] <nikitis> juano:  this laptop has 3GB's of RAM, i'm not making a swap
[10:22] <juano> nikitis: ahh ok
[10:22] <Akeru> gh0st : the script you sent the link to seems nice
[10:22] <nexous> Hi
[10:22] <juano> nikitis: yea 3 GB RAM is good, no swap lol
[10:22] <Akeru> gh0st : why use truecrypt ? because it can be used from windows also ?
[10:23] <dysmas> gh0st: that makes it a bit harder, there is a way to get gtk to pop up password prompts etc tho, forget what the command it is hto
[10:23] <juano> nikitis: mm, are you on live cd now ?
[10:23] <Beverage> tonyyarusso: drwxr-xr-x  3 root www-data 4096 2007-01-30 12:34 .
[10:23] <Akeru> dysmas : zenity
[10:23] <gh0st> Akeru: very secure, open-source, multiplattform, easy-to-use (windows.....)
[10:23] <juano> nikitis: does your sda3 label for "/"  ??
[10:23] <nexous> How do I add an external hard-drive to ubuntu?
[10:23] <nikitis> i set it for / yes
[10:23] <squeaks> Akeru, to boot into recovery mode, do i pick the option from the cd or from grub?
[10:23] <squeaks> Akeru, google is no help so far on this
[10:23] <Akeru> gh0st : you could mount a crypto loopback ...but this is not compatible with windows indeed
[10:23] <juano> nikitis: ok, seems fine
[10:23] <Akeru> squeaks : grub
[10:24] <tonyyarusso> Beverage: Okay, the middle part of that (r-x) tells you the group doesn't have write privs - so, 'sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www'
[10:24] <linux_kid> Just Wondering, is it a good way to clean up your computer by reinstalling all of your OS's?  Im really thinking about it...
[10:24] <nikitis> juano:  but it keeps saying, no root filesystem
[10:24] <gh0st> dysmas, Akeru: anyway, that's how -p argument is descibed: -p, --password PASSWORD
[10:24] <gh0st>  Use specified password to open a volume. Additional passwords can be
[10:24] <gh0st>  specified with multiple -p options. An empty password can also be specified
[10:24] <gh0st>  ("" in most shells). Note that passing a password on the command line is
[10:24] <gh0st>  potentially insecure as the password may be visible in the process list
[10:24] <gh0st>  (see ps(1)) and/or stored in a command history file.
[10:24] <gh0st> oops sorry
[10:24] <juano> nikitis: mm did you make extended first ?
[10:24] <nexous> How do I add an external hard-drive to ubuntu?
[10:24] <nikitis> juano: no
[10:24] <Beverage> tonyyarusso: alright that worked great thanks ^^

[10:24] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[10:25] <juano> nikitis: you need extended as /dev/sda2 for example, and then logic partition for /dev/sda3
[10:25] <Akeru> squeaks : Hmmm in fact you could boot a live cd and chroot to your install... (google for chroot)
[10:25] <nikitis> juano:  sda2 only has 100mb
[10:25] <nikitis> juano: for /boot
[10:25] <juano> nikitis: before making the linux logic partition it should be on the extended
[10:26] <Xif> Which package should I install on Ubuntu Dapper to possess the best possible GVim?
[10:26] <juano> nikitis: first you make extended partition, then the logic partition goes inside
[10:26] <pbureau> i though linux required a minimun (no matter the ram) swap partition...
[10:26] <juano> nikitis: mmm i think its only for swap the extended , let me check
[10:26] <AWOSLappy> http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/awos/trunk/src/kernel/timer.c?revision=104&view=markup
[10:26] <AWOSLappy> oops wrong paste
[10:27] <AWOSLappy> Is there any way to get apt-cache (or even dpkg) to show me a list of packages sorted by size?
[10:27] <juano> nikitis: yeah, nevermind, its only for swap im checking here,
[10:27] <AWOSLappy> I'm out of disk space and want to remove packages.
[10:27] <juano> nikitis: try rebuilding your partitions
[10:27] <dysmas> Akeru: ta
[10:27] <juano> nikitis: make a sda3 logic ext3 filesystem
[10:27] <gop> why do I have to be admin to install mx client in windows
[10:28] <Akeru> dysmas : ?
[10:28] <dysmas> gh0st: "yes" is the answer, bash scripts have never been strong point tho

[10:28] <sacabonos> Hi all

[10:28] <gu014> how do i automatically mount a 2nd ext3 hardrive upon startup?
[10:28] <tat__> hello, i have to,oad a irmware for a wlan card, but there is no /lib/hotplug or /usr/lib/hotplug, do i need to install the hotplugd ?? i use kubuntu edgy
[10:28] <juano> nikitis: but if you follow the installer
[10:28] <nexous> it is plugged in, USB though, and it doesnt show up.

[10:29] <juano> nikitis: it will give you a partioner prompt
[10:29] <nixnoob> can someone help me get my wifi card working under 6.10?
[10:29] <Akeru> nexous : open a terminal and type dmesg and look for usb informations
[10:29] <nikitis> yea i'm in partitioner
[10:29] <nikitis> juano: that's why I can't get this crap to work
[10:29] <juano> nikitis: well, click right on the space you want to partition
[10:29] <dysmas> gh0st: k, you can do it, but it will take a bash script to do it, dont have the time just now but you would need to use zenity to get the password, but it would still be supplying the password on the commandline, if this showing up in the process list is a problem im not sure how else you would solve it
[10:29] <stephen> i need help installing jre after using automax from a help on the forums
[10:29] <axelf> hay guys, what do I need to lookup in order to disable mouse 1 + mouse 2 = mouse 3
[10:29] <jo1> Can someone tell me where wine programs are located at?
[10:29] <gopp2> why do I need to be admin to u se nx client

[10:30] <gopp2> I mean in windows
[10:30] <axelf> When I click both at the same time, I want it to do each buttons function, NOT a different one
[10:30] <gu014> !fstab
[10:30] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[10:30] <sacabonos> I work for as network admin in an international school and would like to switch to linux based infrastructure is that the right place to talk?
[10:30] <gopp2> I have to be admin to install nx client
[10:30] <nikitis> juano what should I format the /boot to?
[10:30] <juano> nikitis: ext3 filesystem
[10:30] <nikitis> juano: same as sda3?
[10:30] <gopp2> sacabonos,  edubuntu is seems is what you want
[10:30] <Akeru> sacabonos : Hmmm...maybe you should before get doc on the topics...we can answer precise question only
[10:31] <|Shadow|> uhh, im running ubuntu on 2 screens
[10:31] <jo1> Programs installed with wine... where to find them so I can start them?
[10:31] <|Shadow|> and im running in 1024x768, and the screen kinda scrolls
[10:31] <Squee> Is there any way to protect against arp spoofing without setting a static arp on every network you connect to?
[10:31] <gopp2> nx client requires me to have or use admin t install it
[10:31] <|Shadow|> its like the desktop is bigger than my screen, and i can mouse around to scroll around the desktop
[10:31] <|Shadow|> how do i just make it fit on my screen?
[10:31] <juano> nikitis: you need 1 partition ext3 with flag boot on
[10:31] <nexous> How do i access menus that are disabled, I'm guessing there permissions but, how can i login as root?:
[10:31] <nixnoob> can anyone help me get my wifi card working?
[10:31] <sacabonos> first before reading anything I would like to know if my windows based network will be able to make the move to linux or not
[10:32] <mwe> !wifi | nixnoob
[10:32] <ubotu> nixnoob: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:32] <Akeru> sacabonos : please describe the windows network
[10:32] <juano> nikitis: and it can be "/"  as well
[10:32] <squeaks> Akeru, i think chroot is working, i forgot about that little trick, dpkg is re-doing all the updates :)
[10:32] <Squee> sacabonos: linux can work with active directory if that is what you are asking
[10:32] <AWOSLappy> I need a list of installed packages sorted by installed size.  How would I do this in Dapper?
[10:32] <Akeru> squeaks : hehe cool
[10:32] <drew1313> hello
[10:32] <nikitis> juano: oh that makes sense.  I was thinking they were already ext3 for some reason
[10:33] <alecjw> hi. why do ralink cards come up as wlan AND wmasteri n ubuntu? what is wmaster?
[10:33] <Akeru> Squee : Hmmm...you mean connecting linux client to a windows AD ?
[10:33] <sacabonos> @Akeru it consist of two servers one for dns and DHCP and the other for ISA server connected to 120 computers at the moment which may expand later
[10:33] <nikitis> juano: the installer wasn't giving me the option to format them.  That's why I thought it was already
[10:33] <nikitis> juano: gksudo gparted is letting me do it
[10:33] <juano> nikitis: ahh.. no no, you need to format to ext3
[10:33] <juano> nikitis: sure
[10:33] <gu014> !DiskMounter
[10:33] <sacabonos> @Squee good to know it can integrate AD tho thx for the tip
[10:33] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[10:33] <Squee> Akeru: From what I've read you can be the active directory server or connect to it
[10:34] <Squee> sacabonos: your welcome
[10:34] <juano> nikitis: after making your partitions you can install
[10:34] <nikitis> juano: do i need a flag on sda3?
[10:34] <Squee> Is there any way to protect against arp spoofing without setting a static arp on every network you connect to?
[10:34] <Akeru> Squee : beeing the AD is easy..connecting to it is kinda hard if I remember well
[10:34] <Squee> yea that sounds right
[10:34] <Akeru> sacabonos : Hmmm...linux can handle that
[10:34] <AWOSLappy> :o
[10:35] <Akeru> Squee : not sure
[10:35] <AWOSLappy> You can't be the active directory domain controller with SAMBA except in bleeding-edge
[10:35] <sacabonos> does it have somthing like ISA server to manage internet access rules on interprise level?
[10:35] <juano> nikitis: i have 1 big partition, its mount points are "/" "/dev/.static/dev"
[10:35] <juano> nikitis: and flag is boot
[10:35] <Squee> AWOSlappy: yea, but it is still possible
[10:35] <sacabonos> @AWOSlappy: what do you mean by bleeding-edge?
[10:35] <Akeru> sacabonos : Hmmm nope I won't say that...you might configure his on the router (firewall rules)
[10:35] <nikitis> juano: I like to use a /boot for boot, and rest for ext3 or lvm.  Old habbit from Redhad 3
[10:36] <juano> nikitis: sure you can do that
[10:36] <AWOSLappy> It's only available on the CVS tree...you'd probably think of it as "alpha" or "before beta"
[10:36] <AWOSLappy> ^ sacabonos
[10:36] <Nick2> hello, I am trying to setup a DSL internet connection and it won' work. Can anyone help?
[10:36] <kale> Nick2: yep
[10:36] <kestaz> how to see how much time from ubuntu install in my pc ?
[10:37] <Nick2> could you explain how to set it up
[10:37] <nixnoo1> there are two entries in networking manager, wlan0 and wmaster
[10:37] <sacabonos> @Akeru: What I want to do with the firewall is really complecated for a router firmware program isn't there any alternatives?
[10:37] <kale> Nick2: which part? the router or the pc or the wiring?
[10:37] <dysmas> gh0st: still here?
[10:38] <Akeru> Squee : Windows server AD cannot provide you with details like uid, gid, shell and such...you'd have to install the unixtool which is as tiresome as migrating the whole stuff
[10:38] <nikitis> juano: ok, Now it says Prepare Mount Points.  It has /media/sda1 listed but no check for reformat.  / is listed as 27gb which is correct.  It's checked to be formatted.    /media/sda2 is selected 102MB's sda2  is not checked to be formatted what should I select now?
[10:38] <Nick2> i just need to set it up properly in the Network Settings
[10:38] <kale> Nick2: ok, open a terminal
[10:38] <Akeru> sacabonos : Hmmm using the iptables command can give you kinda complicated firewalling rules...
[10:38] <Nick2> the internet connection works fine in Win XP and Mandriva Linux
[10:39] <nixnoo1> im confused with this wifi card setup
[10:39] <Nick2> ok got the terminal open
[10:39] <bofh80> hello people
[10:39] <juano> nikitis: nikitis /  should be ext3 filesystem to format
[10:39] <kale> Nick2: sudo bash
[10:39] <mewt> hi
[10:39] <Akeru> kale : "sudo su" is nicer ;)
[10:39] <nikitis> juano:  selected ext3 from gparted,
[10:39] <juano> nikitis: ok
[10:39] <nikitis> juano: why does it want to reformat / and not /boot?
[10:39] <kale> Akeru: i just want the job done, imho sudo passwd is the first usefull command in ubuntu!
[10:40] <sacabonos> @Akeru: do you have link describing your suggestion?
[10:40] <bofh80> can anyone point me to details on installing 6.10 on a dell gx280 with a SATA disk? i'm currently on the live boot atm, but partitioner reports no devices found, dmesg show SATA but no device. i read a little about dmraid, but all docs for 6.06 :(
[10:40] <juano> nikitis: did you make a /boot ?
[10:40] <gu014> !fstab
[10:40] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions

[10:40] <Akeru> sacabonos : nope I'm affraid...except the iptables manual which is kinda obsucre
[10:41] <juano> nikitis: ok, what filesystem type ?
[10:41] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, did you get an answer to your question?
[10:41] <sacabonos> @Akeru: how can I reach this command?
[10:41] <nikitis> ext3, but when I hit forward it doesn't want to reformat it.  However i selected ext3 for the 27gb or '/' and does want to?  Why?
[10:41] <Akeru> sacabonos : from any linux terminal typing "iptables"
[10:41] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, about sorting installed packages by size?
[10:41] <flarese> anyone that have WinTV PVR 350 card running at ubuntu ??? have some problems here....
[10:41] <Nick2> i need help setting up DSL internet connection
[10:41] <AWOSLappy> jowi no I didn't
[10:41] <kale> Nick2: didi you open a terminal and type sudo bash?

[10:42] <mewt> hi, I would like the volume control on my keyboard to control both PCM and Master channels, how can I do this >?
[10:42] <sacabonos> @Akeru: thx I'll try to look it up in google
[10:42] <ubuntu> waz up people
[10:42] <bofh80> anyone? pretty please . . . . .. bwwn foinf R RHIA DOE HOUEA
[10:42] <Akeru> !iptables
[10:42] <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).
[10:42] <Nick2> i'm on mandriva right now so i can't set it up right now.
[10:42] <Akeru> cool
[10:42] <hacklab> does anybody know about bnc?
[10:42] <bofh80> been going at this for hours :(
[10:42] <AWOSLappy> Do you have an answer for me jowi?
[10:42] <kale> Nick2: so how am i supposed to help you?
[10:42] <[1] Algorithmist> howdy folks
[10:42] <Nick2> could you email me instructions?
[10:43] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, I got curious so I did some research. here's how I did it "dpkg-query -W -f='${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | sort -g -r > allfiles.txt"    -  Created allfiles.txt to be opened in an editor since the list can be quite long...
[10:43] <jkillaz> I have a wlan installed but when I run iwconfig I get unassociated in the output
[10:43] <hacklab> ?
[10:43] <kale> Nick2: no, but i can write the commands here
[10:43] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, sizes are listed in kb
[10:43] <DCR|> If anybody is willing to help me with some screen reolution issues, please PM me, it would be easier. Thanks and any help is appreciated
[10:43] <AWOSLappy> jowi well, I have 0 bytes free literally
[10:43] <Akeru> Jowi : wow that's a nice one !
[10:43] <juano> nikitis: when both are set to ext3 does it go ?
[10:43] <AWOSLappy> so I can't write to file :P
[10:43] <Akeru> gotta love it
[10:43] <mewt> hi, I would like the volume control on my keyboard to control both PCM and Master channels, how can I do this >?
[10:43] <AWOSLappy> but jowi that is REALLY cool, thank you!
[10:43] <juano> nikitis: /boot and / to ext3
[10:44] <Nick2> ok, i guess i'll just have to print them and then reboot on Ubuntu
[10:44] <nikitis> juano: the next page says "GRUB will be installed to (hd0)"  I have sda, is that the same thing?
[10:44] <nkbreau> whats a GDM theme ? "GDM" ?
[10:44] <dysmas> cigarette time...
[10:44] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, you're welcome. and thanks Akeru :)
[10:44] <juano> nikitis: yes
[10:44] <sdlvx> gnome display manager?
[10:44] <kale> Nick2: OR, we could just mount your ubuntu partition, chroot into it and install the needed software
[10:44] <nikitis> juano: does it automatically install grub to the one with /boot?
[10:44] <nikitis> juano:  or the MBR of the drive?
[10:44] <nkbreau> i installed ubuntu but its fugly... would u just want to install a GDM ?
[10:44] <juano> nikitis: MBR
[10:44] <AWOSLappy> jowi doing sort -g -r | less worked :)
[10:44] <Xif> How would I remove all packages that match /^vim.*/ with apt?
[10:45] <flarese> anyone got the hint for getting WinTV PRV 350 to work with ubuntu ??
[10:45] <juano> nikitis: by default it installs grub on the MBR
[10:45] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, bah, ruining the fun with the texteditor ;)
[10:45] <mewt> hi, I would like the volume control on my keyboard to control both PCM and Master channels, how can I do this >?
[10:45] <nkbreau> i installed beryl but it totally barfed on me
[10:45] <AWOSLappy> Jowi hehe
[10:45] <Nick2> and how do i do that?
[10:45] <nkbreau> so just wanna change the basic default look and feel for now
[10:45] <kale> Nick2: open a terminal and make sure you are root
[10:45] <AWOSLappy> Jowi like I said I have no disk space free (df -h reports 0 free and 100% usage) so that's why I need this :P
[10:46] <alvarezp> mewt, why?
[10:46] <Nick2> ok terminal open, am root
[10:46] <[1] Algorithmist> Im having trouble with my LTS DD installation. My eth0 internet connection is not working and after the command: ifconfig, it shows a valid IP address. The support tab for the network shows working IP, broadcast and Mask addresses. I disabled ath0 for it is not needed. I am receiving and sending packets on eth0, but they are not climbing fast, but they are functioning. In previous installations, eth0 worked out of the box... with valid IP's showin
[10:46] <nikitis> Well here goes
[10:46] <juano> nikitis: its not bad idea to install grub to the MBR
[10:46] <juano> nikitis: if you have dual boot with windows
[10:46] <nikitis> juano: just that MBR links to /boot
[10:46] <creature_> dose anyone know how to get wpa working on ubuntu 6.10??
[10:46] <mewt> alvarezp, i have 5.1 headphones and since currently my volume control only lowers the master channel, it only lowers the 2 front speakers
[10:46] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, first thing that can free up some space is to do a "sudo apt-get clean" to delete downloaded packages that are still laying aroung
[10:46] <bofh80> can someone confirm i need the alternative CD to install on a SATA disk?
[10:46] <mewt> letting sound come out from the other speakers
[10:46] <Akeru> AWOSLappy : cd /tmp, rm some stuff and try the script Jowi gave us
[10:46] <AWOSLappy> Jowi oh right
[10:46] <bofh80> no RAID just SATA
[10:46] <nikitis> juano: i'm old fashioned.  I like grub on /boot or sda2 and not on MBR.  My Bios can tell it to look there
[10:47] <AWOSLappy> Akeru yeah good ideas
[10:47] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, that will free up a couple of 100s of meg probably
[10:47] <AWOSLappy> Jowi, it freed up 5.8M
[10:47] <Nick2> what next kale?
[10:47] <nikitis> but i'll do MBR
[10:47] <kale> Nick2: type "id"
[10:47] <AWOSLappy> Jowi, I've done this frequently (run out of disk space and run apt-get clean)
[10:47] <nikitis> it's the new thing
[10:47] <Nick2> ok done
[10:47] <juano> nikitis: lol, yea mbr is fine
[10:47] <kale> Nick2: id=0 ?
[10:47] <[1] Algorithmist> I can't install updates or access a site..
[10:47] <juano> nikitis: itll detect windows partition fine on sda1
[10:47] <alvarezp> mewt, it shouldn't. You should ask how to make the master control lower all of them. (I don't know why or how, btw)
[10:48] <nikitis> juano: i know it will
[10:48] <juano> nikitis: i got same config
[10:48] <[1] Algorithmist> neither can I ping google.com
[10:48] <SniZ> how can i upgrade edgy to fiesty?
[10:48] <nikitis> juano: grub is amazing
[10:48] <[1] Algorithmist> SniZ, fiesty is out?
[10:48] <mewt> alvarezp, ideally the master would just control total control to all channels :S it doesnt tho
[10:48] <juano> nikitis: i got /dev/hda1 windowz and /dev/hdc1 Penguin
[10:48] <Flannel> SniZ: #ubuntu+1 (depending on the day, there may be special instructions)
[10:48] <Nick2> yes it says uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[10:48] <jkillaz> please what should I do with this message?  Driver 'ipw2200' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
[10:48] <[1] Algorithmist> SniZ, isn't that v7... something?
[10:48] <kale> Nick2: good, we are really root
[10:48] <jkillaz> how can I update this driver
[10:48] <nikitis> juano: you'd freak if you know my partitioning scheme on my FC6 machine desktop
[10:49] <juano> nikitis: lol
[10:49] <the_hammer> hi all
[10:49] <kale> Nick2: next, which partition is your ubuntu partition?
[10:49] <juano> nikitis: how is it set up ??
[10:49] <the_hammer> anyone here have wireless laptops with pcmia cards?
[10:49] <SniZ> [1] Algorithmist> i think yes, becouse it can be downloadable from ftp
[10:49] <bofh80> ok, can i ask, has ANYONE installed ubuntu 6.10 on SATA disk ? ANYONE?
[10:49] <Nick2> it is hda6
[10:49] <juano> nikitis: FC6 is out ??? lol, last one i had was FC4
[10:49] <alvarezp> mewt, exactly. You should ask in #alsa how to make the master lower all channels.
[10:49] <AWOSLappy> Well thank you Jowi and Akeru.
[10:49] <kale> Nick2: mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/
[10:49] <Flannel> SniZ, [1] Algorithmist, Feisty is still alpha.
[10:49] <juano> nikitis: well, FC5 i used also
[10:49] <Akeru> bofh80 : yup
[10:49] <Akeru> AWOSLappy : you'r welcome ;)
[10:49] <AWOSLappy> :)
[10:49] <bofh80> Akeru, did you have to use the alternative CD?
[10:50] <tim167> hi, can someone help me repair APT ? i cant install anything anymore ! thanks
[10:50] <juano> nikitis: hows FC6 ??
[10:50] <nikitis> juano: i have 3 harddrives.  1 sda has grub on MBR, sda1 is linux.   On sda2 is 80gb is NTFS.  On HDD 2 is Linux hdg(Software Raid), hdf is linux too (Software Raid)
[10:50] <Akeru> bofh80 : nope, desktop
[10:50] <Nick2> it says can't find /dev/hda6/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[10:50] <kale> Nick2: did you forget a space?
[10:50] <bofh80> Akeru, i have normal 6.10 cd in atm, it don't detect the disk :( < Desktop , alternative cd. . . . .  i'm d/l that now cos this won't pick it up
[10:50] <slavik> anyone use beryl on beta nvidia driver on a 7800 or 7900 line of cards?
[10:51] <nikitis> Getting Grub to see hdg and hdf in the right order and be able to chainload ntfs is crazy
[10:51] <mewt> alvarezp, thanks will try that
[10:51] <nixnoo1> can someone walk me through the wifi configuration i cant get it right.
[10:51] <nikitis> juano: FC6 is nice actually.  Better than ubuntu in some ways.  But lacking in others
[10:51] <Akeru> bofh80 : yeah it happens on new sata disk controller...this is kinda annoying and hard to fix
[10:51] <frojnd> Temp3:       +72C  (low  =   +15C, high =   +45C)   sensor = thermistor  !! what is Temp3 ??
[10:51] <Nick2> mnt/
[10:51] <Nick2> yes i did
[10:51] <nikitis> juano: more difficult to setup, but has better support for Dual monitors
[10:51] <Flannel> bofh80: didn't detect the disk?  Is your BIOS set to boot from CD?  Since, even if the disk doesn't work, it should do *something*
[10:51] <juano> nikitis: LOL, poor PC , must suffer of confusion when it boots up
[10:51] <kale> Nick2: "mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/", this gives an error?
[10:51] <bofh80> Akeru, ahhh cool. :( what sata controller you using?
[10:52] <tim167> apt is broken, can someone help me ? _________     thanks      !
[10:52] <juano> nikitis: ahh i see
[10:52] <Nick2> no, not now, forgot space before
[10:52] <nixnoo1> Can someone please walk me throught the wifi config i cant get it right
[10:52] <slavik> tim167: what exactly is broken? what errors do you receive?
[10:52] <juano> nikitis: yea, i liked fc4
[10:52] <nikitis> Repositories are a ton better aptitude.  Yum = awesome.  You don't have to worry about kernel matching with nvidia drivers.  Yum handles it
[10:52] <kale> Nick2: mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
[10:52] <VBoxUserMallek> irctest, anybody able to read this?
[10:52] <bofh80> Flannel, this is Dell 380, bios is crap, disk has windows on it. literally not appearing in dmesg or Gparted (which shows nothing at all)
[10:52] <[1] Algorithmist> is it a fact that eth0 works out of the box - most of the time? what would be my problem, having had ubuntu from all hoary on, kubuntu and even DD, this being a DD fresh install..?
[10:52] <nikitis> fc4 was buggy though
[10:52] <bofh80> Flannel, dell 280 sorry
[10:52] <juano> nikitis: i had ubuntu 5.10 also, pretty lame and buggy
[10:53] <bofh80> Flannel, whoops
[10:53] <nikitis> juano: ubuntu has better hardware detection though.  It even detected my wireless network card. FC6 couldn't
[10:53] <juano> nikitis: yeah. well i got it running pretty good though,
[10:53] <Nick2> ok got it
[10:53] <Flannel> bofh80: yes, well, booting should still be possible from CD, you'll just need some magic key combination r something (that's more common on laptops)
[10:53] <bofh80> Flannel, this IS the bootcd > xchat running on bootcd just can't install . . .
[10:53] <Akeru> bofh80 : dunno it is the ata_piix module
[10:53] <alecjw> hi. this is proably a really stupid question, but how do i run the widget maker?
[10:53] <slavik> tim167: what exactly is broken? what errors do you receive?
[10:53] <tim167> slavik : Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[10:53] <Flannel> bofh80: Ah.  In that case, alternate will fix your issue ;)
[10:53] <juano> nikitis: yeah thats 1 of the most important things
[10:53] <killaz> guys how can I update the wpa2000 driver?
[10:53] <nikitis> juano:  FC6 also uses the 2.6.19 kernel. while ubuntu is stuck on 1.6.17
[10:53] <juano> nikitis: hardware detection
[10:53] <nikitis> err 2.6.17
[10:53] <slavik> tim167: what are you trying to do when you get that error?
[10:54] <killaz> I mean the ipw2000
[10:54] <bofh80> Flannel, o_O cool. i wait for d/l......... thanks
[10:54] <tim167> slavik: sudo apt-get update
[10:54] <killaz> I just upgrade my system
[10:54] <killaz> but now I get this message: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
[10:54] <juano> nikitis: yea 2.6.17
[10:54] <Flannel> nikitis: feisty has 2.6.20 kernel.
[10:54] <Xif> Anyone knows where the GVim launcher hides in the Application menu?
[10:54] <bofh80> Akeru, thanks for information, means i know to try normal disk on SATA first in future. :)
[10:54] <slavik> tim167: have you tried using synaptic?
[10:54] <nikitis> juano: FC6 always has latest kernel, later than any other distro
[10:54] <killaz> and iwconfig give me this: eth1      unassociated  ESSID:"chob"
[10:54] <Akeru> bofh80 : hehe
[10:54] <killaz> unassociated...
[10:54] <killaz> :-(
[10:54] <tim167> slavik: yes, same error, after synaptic gui shows for a few seconds
[10:55] <devin_> anyone running feisty ?
[10:55] <nikitis> juano: basically it has all the latest stuff.  but sometimes buggy.  WHere as Ubuntu lags behind with the stable stuff.  And that is kind of nice imo
[10:55] <nomasteryoda> yes
[10:55] <Flannel> devin_: #ubuntu+1 for feisty stuff ;)  thanks
[10:55] <slavik> tim167: you're on edgy, correct?
[10:55] <tim167> slavik yes
[10:56] <nikitis> That's why for my production laptop, and business I use ubuntu cause it's stable.  And for my high end desktop I use the latest test stuff.
[10:56] <juano> nikitis: yea, sometimes stable and older is better than newer
[10:56] <Nick2> still there kale?
[10:56] <nikitis> juano: agreed
[10:56] <kale> Nick2: yes
[10:56] <Nick2> what do i do next?
[10:56] <kale> Nick2: did you run the mount -o ... command ?
[10:56] <nixnoo1> hey if ubuntu supports my wifi card it will be listed as wlan0 yes?
[10:56] <Nick2> yes
[10:57] <killaz> noone can guide me through this?
[10:57] <juano> nikitis: yeah
[10:57] <slavik> tim167: do the following in a terminal: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
[10:57] <kale> Nick2: mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
[10:57] <nixnoo1> i love being ignored.
[10:57] <slavik> tim167: looks like there is a patch out to fix the issue so try to upgrade everything as soon as it works
[10:57] <shatrat^sleep> nixnoo1, you should get married
[10:57] <HymnToLife> nixnoo1, not necessarily, it can be eth2, ath0...
[10:57] <kale> Nick2: chroot /mnt /bin/bash
[10:57] <nixnoo1> i am married
[10:57] <HymnToLife> it depends on the driver it uses
[10:58] <Flannel> !repeat | nixnoo1
[10:58] <ubotu> nixnoo1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:58] <shatrat> that explains it
[10:58] <Nick2> ok i did th
[10:58] <Nick2> ok kale, i did that
[10:58] <slavik> tim167: did it work?
[10:58] <tim167> slavik: if i upgrade my kernel, then sound doesnt work anymore, i did that before, but downgraded
[10:58] <nixnoo1> hymntolife i have wlan0 and wmaster0 listed
[10:58] <nikitis> juano: i can do anything in fedora, but ubuntu uses different software.  Fedora it's anaconda for their installer.  Ubuntu, they use gpart for their partitioning
[10:58] <nixnoo1> neither seem to work.
[10:58] <nikitis> thus my issues
[10:58] <kale> Nick2: apt-get install dhclient dhcpcd
[10:58] <Akeru> Okay guys, gotta go
[10:58] <slavik> tim167: could be that the sound modules need to be upgraded for the new kernel, too
[10:59] <Akeru> See you
[10:59] <nikitis> juano: how is ubuntu with tablet pc's?
[10:59] <tim167> slavik: yes apt works now tank you !
[10:59] <slavik> tim167: good, I am not sure about the sound.
[10:59] <tommyv> XMMS froze on me and my system monitor wont load... how can i force quit it from the terminal?
[11:00] <Nick2> kale, it does this when i type that last command:  Reading package lists... Done
[11:00] <Nick2> Building dependency tree... Done
[11:00] <Nick2> E: Couldn't find package dhclient
[11:00] <tim167> slavik: my sound is a delicate issue, i took alot of time tweaking it, ao for rme hammerfall dsp soundcard...
[11:00] <kale> Nick2: then we'll just take dhcpcd
[11:00] <slavik> tim167: unfamiliar territory for me, sorry
[11:00] <kale> Nick2: apt-get install dhcpcd
[11:00] <slavik> tim167: did you install any modules from maker's web site?
[11:00] <tim167> slavik: i wonder if i can upgrade everything except for the kernel
[11:00] <Algorithmist> might anyone be able to assist with my eth0 problem?
[11:00] <juano> nikitis: yea and synaptic vs rpm package manager
[11:00] <dysmas> gh0st: if your still here i can send you a little script to try
[11:01] <tommyv> XMMS froze on me and my system monitor wont load... how can i force quit it from the terminal?
[11:01] <y0hm> tommy try killall xmms
[11:01] <tommyv> thanks y0hm
[11:01] <Nick2> kale, it does the same thing now
[11:01] <tim167> slavik, no the drivers are specific alsa drivers i think
[11:01] <kale> Nick2: apt-cache search dhcp
[11:01] <psychovision> newbie aks what ver. to put on desktop? I have Sempron64... should I go for 32bit ubuntu or 64bit?
[11:01] <juano> nikitis: i have no idea actually, never tried it on tablet PC
[11:01] <y0hm> t;)
[11:01] <kale> Nick2: find a dhcp client package
[11:01] <slavik> tim167: you should be able to upgrade everything but the kernel
[11:02] <slavik> tim167: in synaptic mark all upgrades then deselect the kernel-image package (not exactly sure if that is the right package)
[11:02] <nikitis> Anyone try ubuntu on tablet PC?
[11:02] <y0hm> psych i have the best experience ( compatability ... ) with 32 bit distros even though all my machines are 64 bit
[11:02] <deafboy> Anyone had problems playing wma's in totem lately? an update not to long ago broke it i think
[11:02] <Algorithmist> also, at installation, there was no inquiry for root or password for root. I tried to login as the user: root, with the password for the only user setup during installation, and I tried logging in root with no password as previous installations have been done. From what I can tell, the user root does not exist...?
[11:02] <Nick2> kale, last command gives me this:   root@localhost:/# apt-get install dhcpcd
[11:02] <Nick2> Reading package lists... Done
[11:02] <Nick2> Building dependency tree... Done
[11:02] <Nick2> E: Couldn't find package dhcpcd
[11:02] <Nick2> root@localhost:/# apt-cache search dhcp
[11:02] <Nick2> dhcp3-client - DHCP Client
[11:02] <Nick2> dhcp3-common - Common files used by all the dhcp3* packages
[11:02] <Nick2> dhcp3-server - DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment
[11:02] <deafboy> *wmv
[11:02] <Nick2> ltsp-server-standalone - Complete LTSP server environment
[11:03] <y0hm> but yoour mileage may vary ;)
[11:03] <Algorithmist> wtf Nick2
[11:03] <Nick2> ltsp-server - Basic LTSP server environment
[11:03] <juano> nikitis: i liked YUM lol
[11:03] <kale> Nick2: apt-get install dhcp3-client
[11:03] <tim167> slavik yes i looked at that one time, but i hesitated to do it...sound must really keep in order, important to me...
[11:03] <nikitis> juano: synaptic isn't far behind, but it could improve in some areas
[11:03] <psychovision> y0hm: i have tried live cd 64bit, and worked fine.. What are problems you had?
[11:04] <psychovision> i want to install it
[11:04] <slavik> tim167: read on how to force the kernel package to not be upgraded ... pretty sure someone here can help you
[11:04] <tim167> !enter | Nick2
[11:04] <ubotu> Nick2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:04] <y0hm> some dependency problems with apps like vmware server & other sthuff
[11:04] <Flannel> Algorithmist: correct, ubuntu doesn't use the root account, it's disabled.
[11:04] <Flannel> !root | Algorithmist
[11:04] <ubotu> Algorithmist: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:04] <y0hm> it'll probably work but it is more hassle for a beginner
[11:04] <tim167> slavik: ok thanks!
[11:04] <Algorithmist> thank you Flannel, would you have any ideas for my eth0 problem?
[11:04] <deafboy> I can't play wmv's in totem anymore it crashes, anyone else have this issue?
[11:05] <psychovision> i need to run lamp.. this is also confusing.. should i go for server ver. or desktop ?
[11:05] <Flannel> psychovision: are you planning on using it as a desktop?
[11:05] <psychovision> yes..
[11:05] <Nick2> ok, it says now that dhcp3 is already the newest verison
[11:05] <Flannel> psychovision: get the desktop.
[11:05] <psychovision> and in need of lamp for testing
[11:05] <Flannel> !lamp | psychovision, here's a lamp howto (url)
[11:05] <slavik> psychovision: no difference, except default packages that are isntalled, server version is more compact, no X and such
[11:05] <ubotu> psychovision, here's a lamp howto (url): 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+)
[11:05] <kale> Nick2: good, we have a dhcp client installed
[11:05] <y0hm> you can get the alt cd version , then u can either do a desktop or a command line install , whatever you like !
[11:05] <kale> Nick2: next we should set up the config file
[11:06] <kale> Nick2: it think its /etc/networking/interfaces
[11:07] <psychovision> one more question. did anyone tried to start macromedia studio thrum wine?
[11:07] <sinnadyr> have anyone installed ubuntu on their 965-chipset? Because I cant, and I see a lot of other people have the same issues as I do. If someone has managed to do this, please telle me
[11:07] <kev_b> HELP NEEDED: can anyone give me a hand trying to work out why user switching stopped working on my system (gnome)? It seems to no longer launch a new x session when I use switch user or fast user switch applet and I can't figure out why or what to do...
[11:07] <Nick2> i tried cd to that directory, it says it doesn't exist
[11:07] <jakob___> is there any chance to get a more verbose output during boot? The system hangs during boot, but i can't see where.
[11:08] <kale> Nick2: cd /etc/networking
[11:08] <y0hm> jakob i think alt F1 or F2
[11:08] <y0hm> during boot
[11:08] <kale> Nick2: interfaces is not a directory
[11:08] <nomasteryoda> jakob__, yes... press esc, then edit the first grub line...
[11:08] <nomasteryoda> with e
[11:08] <y0hm> or even ctrl alt ..
[11:08] <Algorithmist> I suppose Ill just reboot and try again.. since Im hitting a roadblock here..
[11:08] <Landon> Hey all, I have a question: I installed Photoshop on my computer, used WINE, everything is working great. Only problem is that when I try to use my text tool, it won't let me, saying that it "Could not complete your request because system defaults could not be obtained." Anyone have a fix for this?
[11:08] <nomasteryoda> then remove splash and quiet
[11:08] <nomasteryoda> that will give full listing

[11:09] <bosozoku> nomasteryoda, yeah, splash/quiet is bad
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> yes
[11:09] <bosozoku> i want to see what's going on when booting
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> but noobs need it
[11:09] <tonyyarusso> !noob | nomasteryoda

[11:09] <nomasteryoda> me too
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> LOL
[11:09] <tamacracker> Does anyone know the name of the applet that looks up themes on the internet for you? and you can download em?
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> ok
[11:09] <y0hm> masteryoda , isnt there a file containing the boot log as well  ???, i keep forgetting its name ...
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> tonyyarusso, ok..
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> i don't do that much
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> y0hm, sure
[11:09] <nomasteryoda> /var/log/boot.log i think

[11:10] <keeganX> Anyone know where I can get some help on installing Enemy Territory?
[11:10] <deafboy> will play all other codecs
[11:10] <variant> deafboy: if the wmv is infected with drm then you can;t play it

[11:10] <Viglen> hey
[11:10] <variant> keeganX: yeah, it's a simple thing.. whats up?
[11:11] <Landon> Hey all, I have a question: I installed Photoshop on my computer, used WINE, everything is working great.

[11:11] <slyfox> Why is it that I cannot delete files properly form windows, I have mounted with full read and write permission my windows box and whenever I try to delete a large file, say 600mg, it kind of hangs as if deleting for Linux means pulling the file from windows box to linux box and then deleting. Can I delete fiels straight from windows box via CIFS mounting ?
[11:11] <deafboy> variant:gxine also crashes when playing them
[11:11] <variant> keeganX: odd, have you fully patched it?
[11:11] <Viglen> when i open it, it does the loading clock, then it disappears
[11:11] <dysmas> y0hm ... err...
[11:11] <nomasteryoda> keeganX, the file is binary and to execute is what you need it todo to install.. "./filename" will work .. i've done that before
[11:11] <shatrat> Landon, you might check appdb.winehq.org for the PS entry.  There might be a workaround there, sounds to me like it isnt finding your fonts perhaps.
[11:11] <Viglen> nothing opens
[11:11] <Viglen> :(
[11:11] <Viglen> why?
[11:11] <variant> deafboy: ok, dunno then sorry
[11:12] <Landon> Thanks shatrat, I'll give it a try
[11:12] <keeganX> variant: is 2.60 the fully patched version?
[11:12] <variant> nomasteryoda: thats not his problem
[11:12] <variant> keeganX: thre is 2.60p or 2.60b i can't remember which.. probably b
[11:12] <variant> but that shouldn't be it, sounds more like permissions error
[11:12] <Viglen> anyone?
[11:12] <dysmas> y0hm: it means go to google and look it up, often its rude ... but sometimes a much better way to get help
[11:13] <keeganX> variant: Do you have any ideas?
[11:13] <y0hm> i c !
[11:13] <Phopsy> Hey team - one slight problem with ALSA sound. I've got a VIA 8237 chip with onboard SPDIF, only I'm not getting any sound through it. I did, however, get sound when I was running the LiveCD. Strange twist, but it's the truth. Can anyone suggest something?
[11:13] <nomasteryoda> ok
[11:13] <variant> take alook for hunkusage.dat in teh install folder and the config folder in your home dir. check the permisisons on that
[11:13] <Viglen> anyone, my login screen setup
[11:13] <shatrat> Phopsy, try fiddling with your "alsamixer" settings, maybe its muted.
[11:14] <tamacracker> Does anyone know the name of the applet that looks up themes on the internet for you? and you can download em?
[11:14] <keeganX> variant: I've been looking around and it said to do this to fix it " et +set fs_game tcetest +set com_hunkmegs 256 "
[11:14] <variant> keeganX: run updatedb && slocate hunkusage.dat
[11:14] <gh0st> dysmas: here am i
[11:14] <shatrat> Viglen, you mean the setup for gdm?
[11:14] <Phopsy> Shatrat: Already tried that extensively. It made it work when running the CD, but now it doesn't do anything
[11:14] <variant> keeganX: did that work?
[11:14] <kev_b> Help Plz: can anyone give me a hand trying to work out why user switching stopped working on my system (gnome)? It seems to no longer launch a new x session when I use switch user or fast user switch applet and I can't figure out why or what to do...
[11:14] <dysmas> gh0st: wb,
[11:14] <Viglen> yeah, from system > admin > Login screen setup
[11:14] <dysmas> gh0st: erm, will see if the im thing works to save the conversation being so fragmented
[11:15] <keeganX> variant: No I just get this error " Sys_Error: Sys_LoadDll(ui) failed, no corresponding .so file found in fs_homepath or fs_basepath "
[11:15] <variant> kev_b: I noticed that you asked that a while ago, unfortunatly the number of users asking questions far outweighs the number answering them, you might want to wait a while and try again
[11:15] <gh0st> dysmas: you've written it yourseld? thanks!
[11:15] <shatrat> Phopsy, I dont know what else to try, sound isnt my thing.  Theres a big sound problem diagnosing thread stickied in the multimedia forum at ubuntuforums.org
[11:15] <variant> keeganX: did the slocate show the file?
[11:15] <gh0st> dysmas: you could paste it on pastebin
[11:15] <Phopsy> Shatrat: Yeah, I tried that one. It said the same thing as you did :) Never mind, thanks anyway.
[11:15] <Viglen> im running gnome
[11:15] <keeganX> variant: Yes it did
[11:16] <gh0st> !pastebin
[11:16] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:16] <variant> keeganX: what are the permisions on it?
[11:16] <shatrat> Viglen, what happens when you type "gksudo gdmsetup" in terminal?
[11:16] <kev_b> variant: yeah, i know... i'll wait a while thx
[11:16] <gh0st> dysmas: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:16] <dysmas> gh0st: will do, there is some exlpaining to go with it

[11:17] <nomasteryoda> no
[11:17] <variant> keeganX: while that would work, it is a very very bad idea
[11:17] <gh0st> dysmas: just add as comments ;-) thanks! btw, have you written it, just curious
[11:17] <Viglen> shatrat, Could not access GDM configuration file.
[11:17] <variant> keeganX: there are unpatched remote access vulnerabilities in et for linux
[11:17] <linuxnewbie756> anyone know how to use gaim to see what your ip address is? i am trying to see if my proxy is set up right in gaim
[11:17] <dysmas> gh0st: k, yeah, its only 2 lines ;)
[11:17] <variant> keeganX: if you run the installer as the user and install it to your home directory instead you wont have that problem
[11:17] <shatrat> Viglen, does it mention where the GDM configuration file is?
[11:17] <nixnoo1> k

[11:19] <gh0st> dysmas: i have to go soon, so please post ;-)
[11:19] <Viglen> ?>
[11:20] <dysmas> gh0st: 2 seconds
[11:20] <gh0st> hehe
[11:20] <shatrat> Viglen, im looking for the gdm configuration file
[11:20] <Viglen> oh, okay  tyt
[11:20] <dysmas> gh0st: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3504/
[11:20] <gh0st> dysmas: thanks, will try that out now!
[11:20] <gh0st> bye
[11:20] <variant> keeganX: i'm off, /msg me if it works for you.. (you have to be registered with nickserve to do that though on this network - /msg nickserv help for more info)
[11:20] <dysmas> gh0st: you can then create a launcher on your desktop to run it
[11:20] <tamacracker> Does anyone know the name of the applet that looks up themes on the internet for you? and you can download em?
[11:20] <dysmas> gh0st: cya
[11:21] <variant> tamacracker: themes for what?
[11:21] <variant> tamacracker: gtk themes?
[11:21] <tamacracker> Gnome
[11:21] <linux_kid> Is Gparted Non-Destructive? (In other words, will it break my partitions when I use it AND will it move files so that they all fit on the smaller partition?)
[11:21] <variant> tamacracker: that would be gtk-themeswitch off the top of  my head
[11:21] <dysmas> gh0st: oh! to run it you will need to run "sh mounttc.sh"
[11:21] <tamacracker> gtk-themeswitch?
[11:21] <variant> !themes
[11:21] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[11:21] <variant> tamacracker: check those links for more info.. i don't know any more
[11:22] <shatrat> Viglen, is there stuff in your /etc/gdm directory?
[11:22] <tamacracker> ok gonna check for package manager
[11:22] <tamacracker> ok
[11:22] <vsclan_dolidoli> i've problem...
[11:22] <Viglen> yeah
[11:22] <vsclan_dolidoli> when I control volume bar, sound doesn't work
[11:22] <Viglen> gdm.conf
[11:22] <nkbreau> hey everyone, I've just gotten beryl working on my ubuntu install, but the menu bar disapears... suggestions ??
[11:22] <sivik> how do i get true type fonts to install in linux
[11:23] <shatrat> nkbreau, #ubuntu-xgl
[11:23] <nkbreau> thanks.
[11:23] <y0hm> nkbreau reload your window-decorator
[11:23] <shatrat> Viglen, there should be more stuff than that.
[11:23] <nkbreau> how do i do that y0hm ?
[11:23] <Viglen> yeah
[11:23] <Viglen> there are
[11:23] <Viglen>  item
[11:23] <nkbreau> nevermind, found it
[11:23] <Viglen> 10 items
[11:23] <sivik> !truetype
[11:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truetype - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:23] <sivik> !fonts
[11:23] <ubotu> 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
[11:23] <y0hm> type beryl-manager in terminal
[11:24] <shatrat> Viglen, k, then im not sure what the problem is.  Are there read write permissions on them as owner? ls -l
[11:24] <vsclan_dolidoli> I copied trutype fonts from windows partition
[11:24] <nkbreau> y0hm - didnt seem to work
[11:24] <Viglen> i dont know
[11:24] <Viglen> :S
[11:25] <sivik> is there a way to decrease the amount of time between asking for a password when using sudo in cli/terminal
[11:25] <y0hm> normally , if installed correctly you get a beryl_pop-up menu
[11:25] <nkbreau> the linux menu bar with Applications, Places, System ,etc.. also stops working
[11:25] <whonicca> is there a lightweight ubuntu installation?
[11:25] <sivik> whonicca, server install
[11:25] <y0hm> which allows you to select & reload options & stuff
[11:25] <preaction> sivik: you mean between failed attempts? no that's by design
[11:25] <nkbreau> the red beryl logo shows up for a few seconds
[11:25] <nkbreau> and when i switch workspaces i get the cool cube effect
[11:25] <shatrat> Viglen, ls -l will list files along with details about them.  Also, you should have a factory-gdm.conf and maybe a gdm.conf-custom
[11:25] <whonicca> sivik, does it operate exactly like desktop?
[11:26] <whonicca> just less packages
[11:26] <Viglen> yeah
[11:26] <Viglen> they're all here
[11:26] <whonicca> i want to have more control on what gets setup
[11:26] <nkbreau> but the application and gnome menus disapear and stop working
[11:26] <y0hm> type  emerald --replace in terminal & see what that gives you !
[11:26] <Viglen> should i replace gdm.conf with factory
[11:26] <nixnoo1> can someone help me with wifi setup.
[11:26] <nkbreau> what does that do ?
[11:26] <deafboy> Isn't w32codecs in the ubuntu repositories?
[11:26] <y0hm> emerald is the standard beryl-wondow decorator
[11:26] <y0hm> *window
[11:27] <nixnoo1> my wireless network is not detected.
[11:27] <shatrat> Viglen, I really dont know, maybe you should google your error, "could not access GDM conf" or whatever.  Im not sure why its not opening it if its there, and gdmconf is run as root.
[11:27] <jatt> sivik: I think you can adjust that with that the timestamp_timeout option in the /etc/sudoers file (<sivik> is there a way to decrease the amount of time between asking for password when using sudo in cli/terminal)
[11:27] <dysmas> nixnoo1: open a terminal and type in "iwconfig" does it say much?
[11:28] <shatrat> Viglen, wish I could be more help, I have to go do some errands before everybody closes up though
[11:28] <nkbreau> y0hm - didnt do anything
[11:28] <Viglen> it's okay
[11:28] <nkbreau> it just sat there,... no output in the console
[11:28] <Viglen> thanks :)
[11:28] <john78934> hey, anyone out there able to give some help regarding nvidia resolutions?
[11:28] <nixnoo1> it says wmaster0 wlan9
[11:29] <dysmas> nixnoo1:  does it list an ESSID in the information anywhere?
[11:29] <y0hm> nkbreau , you are very close , if the cube is working , then it sounds to me that your window decorator is not loaded  , or perhaps you need to tweak your xorg.conf for xgl
[11:29] <nkbreau> ok, thanks
[11:29] <nkbreau> I've gotta run, bt be back later tonight.
[11:29] <dysmas> nkbreau: what happens if you just type "emerald" into a terminal?
[11:30] <tamacracker> im tryin to find Gnome-Art in my Package Manager but it's not there... does anyone know where i can get it?
[11:30] <nkbreau> emerald: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
[11:30] <nikitis> is there a way to ctrl + V something into terminal?  without having to right click and hit paste?
[11:30] <dysmas> nkbreau: and if you use "emerald --replace"?
[11:30] <nkbreau> emerald is there, i have the icon in the topbar
[11:30] <nkbreau> when i do that nothing happens, it just hangs there
[11:30] <jatt> nikitis: shift + insert
[11:31] <y0hm> nkbreau ,did u add the various glx options to your xorg.conf ?
[11:31] <nixnoo1> no essid listed anywhere.
[11:31] <dysmas> nkbreau: sucks ... mine did the same for a while, think that fixed it tho...
[11:31] <nkbreau> not sure I'll have to double check once i get home
[11:31] <nixnoo1> wait
[11:31] <vsclan_dolidoli> xgl can anti-aliasing display?
[11:31] <nkbreau> ok thanks, I'll be back l;ater. with an update
[11:31] <john78934> http://neon-net.servebeer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/myth6.jpg
[11:31] <nixnoo1> it said ESSID: " " under wlan0
[11:31] <john78934> i'm having issues with resolutions in ubuntu with an nvidia driver
[11:31] <vsclan_dolidoli> !anti-aliasing
[11:31] <dysmas> nixnoo1: ok, try to typying "iwconfig wlan9 essid any"
[11:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anti-aliasing - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:31] <kidko> Has anybody else here encountered a crash with the X update?
[11:32] <dysmas> nixnoo1: and then wait a few seconds, and type "iwconfig" again, then see if your router name has popped up
[11:32] <nixnoo1> dysmas it says nothing
[11:32] <mattva01> are there any 6.10 DVD install images?
[11:32] <nixnoo1> no
[11:33] <vsclan_dolidoli> john78934, oh SAMSUNG TV.
[11:33] <nikitis> jatt: that didn't work
[11:33] <john78934> vsclan_dolidoli yeah... basically doing a mythtv setup
[11:33] <cld2> anyone know of a repo with the latest gaim betas? thanks.
[11:33] <shatrat> mattva01, there are, its a waste of bandwidth though, imo
[11:34] <shatrat> cld2, youre the third person ive seen ask about beta 6, whats so special in this beta that everyone wants it so fast?
[11:34] <stephen> violot
[11:34] <john78934> vsclan_dolidoli: having issues with it getting into the correct resolution; long story short i'm using the nvidia driver and it only gives me two resolution settings 640x480 and 800x600
[11:34] <bigfuzzyjesus_> list
[11:34] <roler> i'm re-installing ubuntu onto my laptop. I cannot format my partition because it has my home directory files in it. All other directories have been cleared. When I am installing off of the live cd, it says "Filesystems used by the system / must be reformatted for use by this installer" How can I get aruond this?!?!
[11:35] <jatt> nikitis: I've just tested it copying data from firefox and pasting it in gnome-terminal
[11:35] <nolimitsoya_> howcome some of my applications dont show up in my menu, even when theyve created .desktop-files? fex: http://pastebin.com/871595
[11:35] <Landon> Hey all, I still can't figure out my fonts on Photoshop 7 through WINE. It's not working still, and shatrat, it wasn't on that site either
[11:35] <nikitis> jatt: hmm i just tried it too and it's not working ?
[11:35] <cld2> shatrat: well, im looking for beta4 for the bug fixes and the inclusion of gaim-text
[11:36] <jatt> strange...
[11:36] <cld2> shatrat: and beta5 is allegedly faster.
[11:37] <Landon> Hey all, I have a question: I installed Photoshop on my computer, used WINE, everything is working great. Only problem is that when I try to use my text tool, it won't let me, saying that it "Could not complete your request because system defaults could not be obtained." Anyone have a fix for this?
[11:37] <cld2> Landon: it has to do with fonts
[11:37] <shatrat> Landon, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1336 is the entry for photoshop 7 on appdb
[11:37] <Landon> cld2: I know, but I can't figure it out
[11:37] <cld2> Landon: what version of Photoshop did you get working? 7 or a CS?
[11:37] <Landon> 7

[11:38] <whonicca> so after i finish installing the server edition all i need to do to get a basic gnome install is apt-get gnome?
[11:38] <nolimitsoya_> could anyone please point me in the direction of some sort of documentation for menu items and .desktopfiles then?
[11:38] <whonicca> or would that pull in everything in ubuntu?

[11:56] <cypherdelic> 1)

[11:57] <Flannel> !sound | Dhjiz
[11:57] <ubotu> Dhjiz: 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
[11:57] <abo> squeaks, I raised the mic, and then it goes down by itself when I start talking!!
[11:57] <variant> gh0st: ah, you can name the parititon with the dos utils and you can change everything else (mountpoint etc) with udev rules
[11:57] <cypherdelic> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce Go 7600]  (rev a1)
[11:57] <variant> gh0st: not as simple as an average noob would like but if your up to it then do it

[11:58] <variant> cypherdelic: there you go
[11:58] <Jowi> nrdb, think it's the -8bit option from the command line

[11:58] <cypherdelic> so how to determine which driver is used currently?
[11:58] <Dolidoli> geforce go 7600 <--- a8jm ?
[11:58] <cypherdelic> i did that
[11:58] <variant> !nvidia | cypherdelic
[11:58] <ubotu> cypherdelic: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:58] <cypherdelic> already
[11:58] <gh0st> variant: the problem is, that before i messed it up, everything worked fine, the correct name appeared, now it's not like that anymore
[11:58] <kev_b> Amalia: just an idea, if you do "apt-get --purge remove" instead of just remove it will get rid of the config for xmms, then when you reinstall it it should be all default
[11:58] <asdf_> how do I play midi files on ubuntu?
[11:58] <variant> cypherdelic: well, if you never installed it before then your using hte free 2d driver

[11:59] <Jowi> nrdb, I found that tightvnc is a bit smarter since you can also change the compression of the image in jpeg format.
[11:59] <gh0st> variant: any tutorial/guide on how to make this?
[11:59] <variant> gh0st: eek, would be a bit time consumeing to tell you just now, if you want to come back tomorrow some time i can talk you throught it (i will be at work which is the best time to catch me ((my job doesnt require much effort))
[11:59] <jatt> hehe
[11:59] <kev_b> Amalia: There is also a way to do it in synaptic, "remove completely" i think
[11:59] <melon> guys.. i upgraded to edgy earlier.. and have a problem with bittorrent - i've never had an issue with more than one torrent - but now with edgy - it instead gives me the error "Couldn't Listen: (98, 'Address already in use')" - any suggestions on how to get more than one working simultaneously again?
[12:00] <graft> um, i'm having very strange problems with sound, here... anytime i try and play anything, it just loops incessantly over the first second until i kill it
[12:00] <gh0st> variant: ah, pity, no guide whatsoever? or could you do express-help? please :-)
[12:00] <cypherdelic> variant, iut is still unkwon in device manager
[12:00] <graft> happens with flash and with mplayer
[12:00] <variant> gh0st: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html excellent primer for it
[12:00] <variant> cypherdelic: ignore device manager, it is meaningless
[12:01] <variant> cypherdelic: as long as you know what it is then thats all that matters
