[12:01] <grndslm> ikonia:  ah, i see....i'm trying to add ivtv (or v4l maybe) support so i can get mythtv working!!
[12:02] <ikonia> grndslm: mythtv works with the ubuntu kernel
[12:02] <grndslm> ikonia:  i noticed there's no k7 or 686 kernel also...that's strange because i didn't need to do that with the k7 kernel
[12:02] <Flannel> FearMoth: you'd install grub to hda (the mbr), with /boot on hda2 (or / on hda2, with /boot inside of that, etc)
[12:02] <grndslm> ikonia:  i couldn't get the ivtv driver working with the 386 driver which is all that's available now
[12:03] <fatum_> Any one know how i can change the resolution off 1024x768, ? it seems to stick there even trough xorg.conf says 1280x800..
[12:03] <ikonia> grndslm: are you trying to build the driver from source ?
[12:03] <IcemanV9> !generic
[12:03] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[12:03] <grndslm> ikonia:  yea, i did that...but when i go to modprobe ivtv it spits out errors about not knowing the tveeprom symbols or some other symbols
[12:03] <Ralith> How do I switch between different packages in the lists displayed by apt-cache policy <packagename>?
[12:04] <soundray> grndslm: your immediate problem is that you don't have libncurses5-dev installed
[12:04] <grndslm> hmm...
[12:04] <majortom> anyone used the feisty herd-3 ppc iso yet?
[12:04] <ikonia> grndslm: you do know that the kernels changed versions betweem 6.0.6 nd 6.10
[12:04] <grndslm> i also don't have the headers because i installed linux-headers-k7 which doesn't exist anymore
[12:04] <Flannel> majortom: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[12:04] <fatum_> anyone please tell me how to change 1024x768.. xorg is configured correctly :(
[12:04] <majortom> Flannel: thank you
[12:04] <soundray> ikonia: there is no 6.0.6
[12:04] <grndslm> ikonia:  i can read, yea

[12:05] <Detonix_> hi my direct rendering is off how can i put it on?
[12:05] <ikonia> ok 6.06
[12:05] <ikonia> tpo
[12:05] <ikonia> typo
[12:05] <fatum_> k thanx :)
[12:06] <soundray> ikonia: meanwhile I know what you meant -- earlier you had me confused ;)
[12:06] <grndslm> ikonia:  so do you have any recommendations as to why a simple modprobe ivtv won't work???
[12:06] <ikonia> grndslm: because your building against a kernel version thats not supported ?

[12:06] <Jowi> Detonix_, depends on your hardware. what kind of video card do you have=
[12:06] <Jowi> ?
[12:06] <adamonline45> Samba's default port/protocol, anyone?
[12:07] <ikonia> adamonline45: samba is the protocol
[12:07] <Enverex> ikedaman, No, that's SMB
[12:07] <grndslm> ikonia:  ivtv 0.7.3 is latest stable for 2.6.17
[12:07] <Enverex> adamonline45, 139/SMB I believe
[12:07] <ikonia> is it really, thats strange
[12:07] <pbureau> OPPS
[12:07] <ikonia> grndslm: does it have a module dependency
[12:07] <ProN00b> Enverex, thats like saying not, its http, not hyper text transfer protocol
[12:07] <adamonline45> ahh okay, so iptables would be iptables -A INPUT -p SMB -j ACCEPT ??
[12:07] <grte> Anyone have ops in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[12:07] <grndslm> ikonia:  i dunno...
[12:07] <ikonia> adamonline45: no - tcp
[12:08] <Enverex> ProN00b, No, it's not. SMB = Server Message Block
[12:08] <adamonline45> okay, thatnks
[12:08] <ikonia> grndslm: check it out, it may need a module to resolve symbols
[12:08] <Flannel> grte: #ubuntu-ops

[12:08] <ikonia> grndslm: depmod ?
[12:08] <grndslm> by itself?
[12:08] <ikonia> adamonline45: look in /etc/services
[12:08] <deafboy> would anyone know why i get electronic interference when i have both my internal laptop mic and my speakers turned up, even if no sound is playing
[12:08] <adamonline45> k, thanks :)

[12:17] <rambo3> those brasilians again
[12:18] <Chronno> someone can give me some help with a HP PSC 1315? :)
[12:18] <jrib> au_: though you can simplify it a little to:   sed -i '/^$/d' FILE        the -i tells it to edit the file "in place" instead of just printing what it would do
[12:18] <au_> jrib: I've seen it..tnx.. next time I'll try to use google on my own:)
[12:18] <Mouldy> I wonder if any of you can help me, you see, I have 5.1 surround set up all nicely and stuff, but there's one problem. The subwoofer is very quiet. I have an external remote control for the speakers that has a volume control for the woofer separate from the master volume, I have to turn it all the way up to be able to hear the woofer at all. In windows the volume level is about mid-way to get the same volume. Any ideas whats up with
[12:18] <Mouldy>  it?
[12:19] <mindstate> soundray: it says i need to install ATI Driver installer, having some trouble finding it. Damn this Text-browser :)

[12:36] <Spee_Der> wb Seveas
[12:36] <phire> I overwrote my binutills with versions for a arm processor,  How can I repear it with apt-get?
[12:37] <jamesbrose1> pbureau, Mouldy, neither worked :(
[12:37] <pbureau> jamesbrose1, try locate mysql and scroll through the listing
[12:37] <junk1> bye all
[12:37] <Mouldy> jamesbrose1, do you have mysqld running?
[12:37] <jrib> phire: sudo apt-get install binutils=VERSION    maybe?
[12:37] <Beverage> bye
[12:37] <jamesbrose1> pbureau, I get the rror: locate: /var/cache/locate/locatedb: No such file or directory
[12:38] <jamesbrose1> Mouldy, Yes

[12:38] <Angelus> hi there! :) Anyone know how to get a quicktime plug in to work with firfox?
[12:38] <Beverage> hey guys i made a small script and chmod'd it i dont know how to run it anyone know?
[12:38] <soundray> mindstate: I take it you followed the section titled "Install from Ubuntu repositories (easier)", right?
[12:38] <pbureau> Angelus, only way I foudn was to install the QT10 for linux app
[12:38] <jrib> phire: or maybe sudo apt-get --reinstall install binutils
[12:38] <Mouldy> jamesbrose1, also try looking in /var/lib/mysql
[12:38] <jrib> Beverage: what kind of script?
[12:39] <soundray> Beverage: with the full pathname, or put it in /usr/local/bin/
[12:39] <Angelus> cool thanks :)
[12:39] <mindstate> soundray: do you mean that seveas repo ?
[12:39] <soundray> mindstate: no
[12:39] <CyberCod> is anyone in here really good at compiling?
[12:39] <mindstate> soundray: *confused* im all over right now
[12:39] <jrib> !anyone | CyberCod
[12:39] <ubotu> CyberCod: 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?
[12:40] <phire> thanks jrib, that --reinstall works
[12:40] <soundray> mindstate: I meant section 2.1 on the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[12:40] <pbureau> CyberCod, whastcha compiling ?
[12:40] <CyberCod> jrib  fair enough
[12:40] <fildo> !nvidia
[12:40] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:40] <CyberCod> pbureau  found some drivers for the second modem I put in... but they have to be compiled.. and I'm gettin some errors
[12:40] <Beverage> jrib, its a script so that my limewire will run
[12:41] <phire> jrib no it didn't, I also overwrote tar
[12:41] <mindstate> soundray: oh yes thats what i did
[12:41] <pbureau> CyberCod,  you know the channel to chat inprivate ? (grin)
[12:41] <CyberCod> you must remind me, or PM me
[12:41] <TheSkorm> DCR| OMG ITS YOU
[12:41] <DCR|> OMG
[12:41] <DCR|> It's the one and olny TheSkorm!
[12:41] <soundray> mindstate: did you reboot at any point?
[12:42] <DCR|> only*
[12:42] <phire> Is there anyway to get dpkg-deb working without tar?
[12:42] <mindstate> soundray: no i didnt
[12:42] <jrib> Beverage: well as long as you have the first line as  #!/bin/sh  or something similar, you can do what soundray said
[12:43] <Gunrun> hmm...
[12:43] <Gunrun> Hello?
[12:43] <Mouldy> Hey Gunrun
[12:43] <Beverage> jrib: it looks liek this "#!/bin/bash
[12:43] <Beverage> export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
[12:43] <Beverage> export HOSTNAME=localhost
[12:43] <Beverage> /usr/bin/limewire"
[12:43] <Beverage> sorry didnt mean to paste like that
[12:43] <jrib> Beverage: that looks fine
[12:43] <soundray> mindstate: that's what I would try. When you're back up, try 'sudo modprobe fglrx' again and see if you still get that error.
[12:44] <Beverage> jrib: so just put that into /usr/bin/ and itll run?
[12:44] <Gunrun> Hi, I was looking over the ubuntu website, I am considering putting it on an old powermac G4 I have, that is currently useless. Anyone know how easy this would be?
[12:44] <Gunrun> I have no experience in running linux, or installing, and I hear ubuntu is easy :)
[12:44] <jrib> Beverage: /usr/local/bin/  is better.  You should use /usr/local for stuff you do, and leave the rest of the stuff to the package manager
[12:44] <Mouldy> Gunrun, never done it myself, but I'd assume it's as easy as installing on a regular PC...in which case, it's easy :p
[12:44] <Gunrun> right
[12:45] <mag> hello... I have a samba server with ACL works, but I'm still don't know someting... I have a user "ADMIN" that contains all the information or files enside /home/admin also I have many user connected to the samba server, but If a user erase someting where are all those files erased ?
[12:45] <soundray> Gunrun: it's straightforward
[12:45] <Gunrun> just putting in the disk and booting from it?
[12:45] <Mouldy> Gunrun, yep
[12:45] <Beverage> jrib: okay thanks
[12:45] <soundray> Gunrun: yes, hold down 'c' and follow instructions
[12:45] <Gunrun> now all I need to do is find out how to boot from the CD
[12:45] <Gunrun> ah ok
[12:45] <soundray> Gunrun: make sure you've got the PPC version
[12:45] <mindstate> soundray: ok
[12:45] <errorlevel> Quick question on the ubuntu install partition resizer for Edgy.  When a partition must be resized, is the "new partition" size that which is allocated to the existing partition being resized, or is the size allocated to Ubuntu after the resize?
[12:45] <Gunrun> how fast is shipit?
[12:45] <Mouldy> slow
[12:45] <soundray> Gunrun: on the order of weeks to months
[12:46] <errorlevel> It seems like fairly unintuitive wording, to me.
[12:46] <Gunrun> right, I will just grab it off a torrent then
[12:46] <jrib> Gunrun: 4-6 weeks for me in the US
[12:46] <soundray> mindstate: have you done that already?
[12:46] <zombiechick> anyone aware of a problem where a recent edgy update breaks USB flash devices?
[12:46] <Mouldy> took 3 months for me to get breezy badger back in the day here in the uk
[12:46] <Gunrun> stupid thing is I got the mac versions of 6.06 a while back
[12:46] <Gunrun> but binned them
[12:46] <zombiechick> my devices work fine when I boot from live CD installer...
[12:46] <mindstate> soundray: no brb
[12:46] <zombiechick> but not when I boot from the hard disk..
[12:46] <mag> hello... I have a samba server with ACL works, but I'm still don't know someting... I have a user "ADMIN" that contains all the information or files enside /home/admin also I have many user connected to the samba server, but If a user erase someting where are all those files erased ?
[12:47] <Mouldy> Gunrun, a lot of people were having issues upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10, so it's probably better to start with a fresh install of 6.10 anyway
[12:47] <Gunrun> I was going to dual boot it on my PC, but I managed to kill my boot sector, and make neither windows OR ubuntu be able to boot
[12:47] <Gunrun> ah ok
[12:47] <eugman> Is flash 9 available for ubuntu?
[12:47] <jrib> !flash9 | eugman

[12:48] <AMAG> Speaking of fresh installs of 6.10, I have a brand new computer here with a 3ware 9650SX card that I could use some knowledgable help with!  :-)
[12:48] <soundray> zombiechick: any error messages?
[12:48] <jrib> ubotu: flash ~= s/for/in/
[12:48] <Mouldy> I'm off now, ciao y'all!
[12:48] <phire> can someone tell me how to install a deb without dpkg-deb?
[12:49] <Beverage> jrib: i tried setitng my local/bin so i have the permission but "sudo chown -R jon:jon /usr/local/bin/" doesnt work...says "sudo: must be setuid root" any suggestions?
[12:49] <jrib> phire: what is dpkg-deb?
[12:49] <mon^rch> has anyone here trird the doom3 demo for linux?
[12:49] <phire> jrib, the backend to apt-get
[12:49] <jrib> phire: can you just use dpkg -i?  or double click on it?
[12:49] <phire> I was thing more of useing tar and gzip
[12:49] <morrolan> Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[12:49] <Gunrun> oh, that is another thing. Will I have to install any drivers ala windows or will it just work?
[12:50] <slept> how can i tell the installer not to partiton ? i am installing on a usb key and partitioning doesnt work .... but i allready have the ext fs on it ...
[12:50] <zombiechick> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3892/
[12:50] <soundray> phire: I think they are archived with ar
[12:50] <AMAG> I hear there is a Live CD; which is that?  I believe I could solve my problem by getting the live-from-CD system up and running, building a 3ware driver that loads into this kernel, copying it someplace, then loading it into the installer after a reboot.
[12:50] <Gunrun> AMAG, all the normal desktop CDs are live ones
[12:50] <Hoosteen> ok...i have a broadcom 4318 wireless chipset..my wireless light is on on my laptop and it shows up in network settings but i can't tell if it's connecting or not
[12:50] <morrolan> slept, choose manual and just bypass the partition, and just mount the usb drive as /
[12:50] <jrib> phire: you'd still ahve to take into account the install scripts that dpkg would run.  May I ask why you need to do this?
[12:51] <morrolan> Hoosteen - unplug your ethernet cable and test it :)
[12:51] <soundray> zombiechick: I get this occasionally with an older stick. I have to unplug and replug it a few times, then it works.
[12:51] <morrolan> Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[12:51] <slept> morrolan, thanks
[12:51] <AMAG> Gunrun, I had some trouble booting the desktop CDs, but I can get the text installer going using the alternate CDs.  Any hints?
[12:51] <zombiechick> soundray:  I am seeing consistent  failure with two different card readers
[12:51] <Hoosteen> morrolan: it's not pulling up
[12:51] <pbureau> morrolan,  did you install it ?
[12:52] <phire> I messed up, wiped tar, gzip and a lot of things like ls, cd
[12:52] <Gunrun> well, considereing I am just downloading my first ever linux install
[12:52] <Gunrun> no
[12:52] <morrolan> phire - how you manage that then?
[12:52] <Gunrun> sorry :(
[12:52] <zombiechick> soundray:  but works fine when booted from livecd
[12:52] <erudified> Any Radeon Mobility 9000 laptop users here? I'm having a ton of trouble getting an external CRT to work correctly
[12:52] <Mazus> would anyone be able to help with mythstreamtv? i get this vlc error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3888/plain/
[12:52] <phire> morrolan, extracted a initramfs to root instead of a temp dir
[12:52] <soundray> zombiechick: strange
[12:53] <zombiechick> got to run...  I'll ask again later...
[12:53] <fryfrog> I've been searching google for help with an "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" error I am getting.  I found a bunch of really accurate descriptions of the *problem* but can't find a solution.
[12:53] <fryfrog> I have my smb server setup and working fine on ubuntu, the same command is successful `smbclient -L \\localhost` when entering the correct pw
[12:53] <erudified> I can get it to work, but there are artifacts on the screen (eg when moving one window over another) and I am limited to the native resolution of the built-in LCD on the external monitor
[12:53] <AMAG> If there's someone who could assist me in getting this up and going, I'd gladly compensate them via paypal ;-)
[12:53] <fryfrog> but on this *other* box, the correct pw results in the above error... but no or an incorrect pw switches to anonymous which has no problem listing the shares
[12:53] <morrolan> phire - your best bet would be to go to http://archive.ubuntu.com and find core-utils
[12:53] <morrolan> download it, and dpkg it with force...
[12:53] <nodegamra> kernel - panic not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0) anyone help?
[12:53] <Hoosteen> how can i tell if the wireless is connecting or what the connections settins are or what the ip address is? i'm super new to linux
[12:53] <dante_> i need some help
[12:53] <jrib> !helpme | dante_
[12:53] <ubotu> dante_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:53] <morrolan> Hoosteen - type iwconfig   at the CLI
[12:54] <morrolan> just like you'd tupe ifconfig for wired
[12:54] <soundray> nodegamra: this can happen with a wrong or missing root= kernel option
[12:54] <dante_> uhm... how do you install the flash player on ubuntu?
[12:54] <erudified> I don't get why linux doesn't use freebsd's ifconfig
[12:54] <LjL> Ubotu, tell dante_ about flash | dante_, see the private message from Ubotu

[12:54] <Hoosteen> ok gotcha...ok it says Mode: Managed Access Point: Invalid
[12:54] <morrolan> Hi, my Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[12:54] <erudified> it supports wired & wireless cards
[12:54] <nodegamra> how i fix it
[12:54] <lecaros> !seen mruiz
[12:54] <ubotu> I last saw mruiz (n=mruiz@ubuntu/member/mruiz) 9h 10m 5s ago, quiting: "Goodbye"
[12:54] <morrolan> Hoosteen - do you have a WEP key set up on your router?
[12:55] <Hoosteen> no
[12:55] <LjL> !botabuse | lecaros
[12:55] <ubotu> lecaros: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[12:55] <slept> wouldnt it be more logical if it was !sth >user since people are more like files or devices than like programms ....
[12:55] <LjL> Ubotu, tell slept about bot | slept, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:55] <morrolan> Hi, my Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[12:55] <Hoosteen> eth0 says no wireless connection...all that info i typed before was beside eth1
[12:55] <soundray> nodegamra: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and check the kernel options and whether they point to your root partition
[12:55] <jrib> slept: that works too but has a different result :)
[12:56] <LjL> err nevermind slept - but i just *did* type "!bot greater-than slept" (but i have an autoreplace on that)
[12:56] <morrolan> Hoosteen your wireliess connection will show as something like ra0
[12:56] <morrolan> not ewth0
[12:56] <morrolan> eth0
[12:56] <disant> ath0
[12:56] <mindstate> soundray: still the same thing
[12:56] <Kud|> How do you you define the version of a program to download with apt-get? Like say I want to downgrade a program through apt-get, how would I go about doing so?
[12:56] <lecaros> LjL np, just keyboard mistake
[12:56] <Hoosteen> hmm
[12:56] <LjL> kud|, apt-get install package=version
[12:56] <Kuriyaki> How do I gain access to my hard drive using Ubuntu? It say I don't have permission to do so...I had this working earlier but for some odd reason it doesn't allow me to view the files anymore.
[12:56] <soundray> mindstate: I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas now
[12:57] <LjL> kud|, however downgrading packages that way is not necessarily going to be successful (or a good idea), i believe
[12:57] <morrolan> Kud| if you find it in the cache, remove the newer version, and just force the old version
[12:57] <mindstate> soundray: lol i was about to say  i think im done :(
[12:57] <Kuriyaki> wait nvm I fixed it
[12:57] <slept> oh i get it if you are in irc you are interacting thats why sth can be piped :) , nice
[12:57] <mindstate> soundray: can u give me that ATI link again the Binary howto

[12:57] <mindstate> soundray: thanks for the help man im going to see if i can work this out
[12:58] <sess> Im struggling here to change the default python on my sytem from 2.4 to 2.5
[12:58] <sess> update-alternatives --display python   says no alternatives, but I DID do an apt-get install python2.5
[12:58] <Kud|> LjL, morrolan: thanks
[12:58] <jrib> sess: that's a bad idea probably
[12:58] <Rob002> I've been looking, but with no luck, for a script that will rip a DVD and transcode it to XviD without human intervention. (AKA Detects longest tracks, rips, encodes). Anybody know a script that will do this? I have a bunch of DVD's I want to back up and I just want to click run, and have it do everything for me (Going to put the script into autorun when a dvd is inserted)
[12:58] <soundray> mindstate: it may be worth posting the full error message to the pastebin for all to see
[12:59] <jrib> sess: just call python2.5 when you want python2.5
[12:59] <Vuen> Rob002: why don't you just write one? bash scripting is easy
[12:59] <Hoosteen> hmm...so when i go to system -> Administration -> Networking it shows up there and it has my Essid and Address set as DHCP
[12:59] <mindstate> soundray: ok ill do that
[12:59] <soundray> !k9copy | Rob002 (I think)
[12:59] <ubotu> Rob002 (I think): A good alternative to running DVDShrink with wine is k9copy; for Dapper it's available in Universe, and for Breezy it's available at this repository: deb http://repos.knio.it/ breezy main contrib non-free
[12:59] <Rob002> Vuen, why re-invent the wheel if it's out there :) Any why learn bash scripting if I REALLY dont need to :)
[12:59] <morrolan> Hi, my Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[12:59] <Rob002> Thanks SoundGuy29
[01:00] <Hoosteen> now when i do ifconfig, all the settings are there under eth0
[01:00] <Hoosteen> when i do iwconfig, the settings for the wireless card are under eth1
[01:01] <morrolan> Hoosteen - what type of card is it?  Ewthernet, USB, pcmcia etc?
[01:01] <andre> Hey guys
[01:01] <andre> anyone update Beryl today via the update manager?
[01:02] <sess> jrib: I can't manually call it, beryl requires python 2.5, as a result its broken
[01:02] <evan-1st`install> <- little scared. doing his first linux install right now. :\
[01:02] <Hoosteen> built-in wireless
[01:02] <Vuen> evan-1st`install: good luck. we're right here if you need anything :)
[01:02] <Hoosteen> its a laptop
[01:02] <Kud|> How do you determine the exactly version name of a program for apt-get? I am trying to get Beryl to 0.1.99.2 and that version is not recognized by apt-get
[01:02] <Hoosteen> has both wired and wireless
[01:02] <jrib> sess: what exactly in beryl requires python 2.5?
[01:02] <sess> beryl-settings
[01:02] <jrib> Kud|: apt-cache policy foo
[01:02] <Vuen> Kud|: aptitude show, or aptitude policy
[01:02] <Flannel> Kud|: you don't use versions.  Just the package name
[01:02] <evan-1st`install> thanks vuen. im doing a dummy run on an old bum comp before i go for my windows machine.
[01:03] <evan-1st`install> recently my windows took a dump and i've had enough.
[01:03] <jrib> sess: edit the python script and change the first line to call python2.5 then.  That is what I would do
[01:03] <hcook> word
[01:03] <Vuen> evan-1st`install: good stuff. here's hoping it goes well for you.
[01:03] <sess> jrib: I did that, then I get the error that the modules that were installed are missing
[01:03] <evan-1st`install> no kidding.
[01:03] <Kud|> jrib: thanks, that worked Flannel: I need to download a specific version of the program though
[01:03] <deafboy> i'm having issues with the w32codecs package, when i have it installed certain movies WON'T play, but i have it installed only one movie won't play
[01:03] <Vuen> evan-1st`install: whatever you do, make sure you back up your data.
[01:03] <Gunrun> wow, this install is smaller than I would have thought
[01:03] <Gunrun> :/
[01:04] <andre> !beryl

[01:04] <sess> jrib: yet when I call it with python 2.4 the modules are present, so they've been installed into teh wrong place
[01:04] <Vuen> evan-1st`install: if it's your first time, you might want to dual boot so that you have something to get back to in case it doesn't work.
[01:04] <evan-1st`install> well. i already partitioned my windows drive (when i first built my cmp.) i have two partitions a C: for windows normal stuff and a storage section where all my windows downloads go.
[01:04] <sess> jrib: and I don't actually KNOW where they are :(
[01:04] <jrib> sess: that's the thing... python2.4 looks in python2.4 areas, python2.5 looks in different places
[01:04] <evan-1st`install> so, im a little wary of how to handle that.
[01:04] <Vuen> evan-1st`install: ah. are you overwriting C: with linux?
[01:04] <evan-1st`install> no.
[01:04] <evan-1st`install> i want to keep windows for pure gaming purposes and do my school stuff with linux.
[01:04] <hcook> i've got a couple of divx files that won't play on this machine, but play fine on my friend's ubuntu box. my other divx files work fine. anybody know how i can figure out what's wrong and correct it?
[01:05] <Vuen> evan-1st`install: that's good. i did the same when i started with linux.
[01:05] <evan-1st`install> if you have any advice or walkthroughs or personal help, feel free to PM me if you have time or don't mind.
[01:05] <jrib> sess: I think the best course of action is to try #ubuntu-xgl, #beryl, or the beryl forums since this is probably affecting a lot of people
[01:05] <hcook> when i open them in totem i just get "Video codec Divx
[01:05] <hcook> 5 is not handled"
[01:05] <hcook> oh...sorry bout that \n
[01:05] <AMAG> Is there another channel where I should take my installation questions?
[01:06] <morrolan> Hi, my Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[01:06] <sess> ok jrib
[01:06] <Vuen> AMAG: nope, you're in the right place
[01:06] <jrib> sess: if you really want to test your theory that this will work, just create a link named "python" in /usr/local/bin that points to /usr/bin/python2.5 .  Like I said though, i think that's a bad idea and you should remove it after you test this
[01:06] <AMAG> Vuen, maybe you can give me some direction
[01:06] <morrolan> AMAG , here is fine :)
[01:06] <beekin> I want to make my windows partitions readable to all users but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Can anyone help me?
[01:06] <Gunrun> Woo, I am now running a 3 screen, 2 computer system
[01:06] <Gunrun> lol
[01:06] <sess> jrib: I did that too, didn't work still can't find the modules
[01:06] <Vuen> beekin: 2 secs
[01:06] <Rob002> Can anyone recomend a good IDE to get started with in ubuntu? I really loved the new MS C# IDE. Auto-complete, easy builds, graphical menus for functions / vars / etc... Is there anything close to that for Ubuntu?
[01:07] <AMAG> When I try to start up the 6.10 desktop installer CD I get "Decompressing Linux..." "crc error" " -- System halted"
[01:07] <hcook> beekin: probably. have you used umask=000
[01:07] <jrib> sess: what modules exactly?
[01:07] <hcook> ?
[01:07] <Vuen> Rob002: eclipse and anjuta are popular
[01:07] <AMAG> I do not have this problem with the alternate installer
[01:07] <morrolan> Rob002 - MonoDevelop
[01:07] <Vuen> Rob002: i just use kate. kate is so sexy
[01:07] <beekin> what is that? an fstab option?
[01:07] <evan-1st`install> general question: i have a partitioned drive already one part windows and the other the storage for progams and things for that previous partition. how should i handle my installation so i can still game on windows and do EVERYTHING but game on linux?
[01:07] <AMAG> Unfortunately the alternate installer doesn't have that live CD stuff, which I believe I need to build a driver compatible with my 3ware 9650SX RAID adapter
[01:07] <preaction> Rob002: jEdit is pretty nice, otherwise use God's Own Editor: vim (or gvim if you prefer)
[01:07] <AMAG> Do you have any suggestions?
[01:07] <hcook> beekin: either fstab or mount option
[01:08] <morrolan> Rob002 - MonoDevelop is the best for C# if you want auto-complete etc
[01:08] <beekin> hcook: I used the user option in fstab but that didnt work
[01:08] <morrolan> Hi, my Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[01:08] <sess> jrib: Im assuming berylsettings.so
[01:08] <sess> since that was undefined reference when it was running python 2.4
[01:08] <Rob002> I'm looking for something like MonoDevelop :) Thanks a bunch!
[01:08] <hcook> beekin: in fstab in the options column add "umask=000" and it should work.
[01:08] <cablesm102> Hey, does anyone know what scrollkeeper-update is? It's taking up 50% of my CPU right now.
[01:08] <mon^rch> anyone know why the ntfs-3g driver isnt working? I can see my drives but cant write to them
[01:08] <Vuen> beekin: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Windows
[01:08] <beekin> thanks
[01:08] <LjL> cablesm102: something to do with the help system i believe
[01:08] <Rob002> Next question, I'm reading about mono now... Apps I write in mono, can they be x-compiled to possibly work on windows?
[01:08] <Gunrun> Anyone happen to know how to change the resolution on OS9?
[01:08] <cablesm102> LjL, thanks
[01:09] <cablesm102> Gunrun, wrong place to ask
[01:09] <jrib> sess: what makes you think you need 2.5?
[01:09] <AMAG> I've been a Linux user for more than ten years, so I have a fair idea what I'm doing; I just don't know how to get the installer going in this situation :)
[01:09] <Gunrun> right
[01:09] <evan-1st`install> general question: i have a partitioned drive already one part windows and the other the storage for progams and things for that previous partition. how should i handle my installation so i can still game on windows and do EVERYTHING but game on linux?
[01:09] <Gunrun> just I happened to be in here :)
[01:09] <Vuen> beekin: scroll down for the instructions on how to set it up automatically when you turn on your computer. be very careful when editing your fstab.
[01:09] <sess> jrib: says so in the forum when I found that someone else had the same problem as me
[01:09] <jrib> sess: ah ok
[01:09] <toM|vendettA_> hi how can i convert a .mov file to a .avi divx file??
[01:09] <cablesm102> Gunrun, there's a bar on the bottom left. I think it's there... been a long time since I used OS 9
[01:09] <Vandalay> easiest is using a different disk
[01:09] <cablesm102> Gunrun, I'm assuming you're talking about Mac?
[01:10] <gyaresu_> !beryl
[01:10] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:10] <Gunrun> yes cablesm102
[01:10] <swilliamson> hey all I have been tasked with replacing our external corp DNS servers with linux boxes.  I have planned on using 6.06 lts for this.  My question is management, I have no prob configuring flat files for bind, but the 3 other winblows sysadmins might.  Anyone have any suggestions?
[01:10] <Gunrun> uh... there is no bar on the bottom left
[01:10] <cablesm102> Gunrun, no idea then...
[01:10] <Gunrun> there is just the bar at the top
[01:10] <maziah> hiyas
[01:10] <maziah> anyone running feisty ?
[01:10] <Gunrun> also I had the keyboard plugged into the network port
[01:11] <Gunrun> that was REALLY dumb of me
[01:11] <cablesm102> Gunrun, ##mac
[01:11] <Gunrun> ah ok
[01:11] <AMAG> I'm really stuck here, so if anyone has any ideas before I remove a drive from my array and connect it to the ordinary SATA controller .... ;-)
[01:11] <prower> Hello :> For anyone using Beryl...is there any way to keep it from slowing down the performance of other OpenGL-based apps (like Quake IV ;>), without shutting it on and off each time?
[01:11] <evan-1st`install> general question: i have a partitioned drive already one part windows and the other the storage for progams and things for that previous partition. how should i handle my installation so i can still game on windows and do EVERYTHING but game on linux?
[01:11] <beekin> Thanks very much vuen & hcook
[01:11] <cablesm102> Hey, what's the command for listing installed packages?
[01:11] <adaptr> prower: not really.. you need a pretty beefy GPU to run games on top of beryl
[01:11] <morrolan> prower - yeah, set different profiles within Beryl Settings Manager
[01:12] <LjL> cablesm102: dpkg --get-selections
[01:12] <jrib> cablesm102: dpkg -l
[01:12] <adaptr> morrolan: profiles ???
[01:12] <cablesm102> LjL, jrib, which one?
[01:12] <prower> Hmm...thanks, I'll have to poke around in the options
[01:12] <adaptr> d*mn I'm getting behind
[01:12] <LjL> cablesm102: try both :)
[01:12] <morrolan> prower - set your default profile to have all of the good stuff enabled, and set another profile to switch down all of the really fancy stuff to minimal
[01:12] <jrib> cablesm102: man dpkg  should explain exactl what each does
[01:12] <cablesm102> LjL, jrib, both did a similar thing
[01:12] <cablesm102> thanks
[01:13] <AMAG> No one knows anything about my CRC error issue?  I saw it mentioned on several ubuntu forums but didn't see solutions
[01:13] <morrolan> adaptr - yeah, bottom left of Beryl Settings Manager?
[01:13] <evan-1st`install> anyone have any spare time to help an EXTREME linux noob intall?
[01:13] <morrolan> adaptr - you can configure multiple profiles to tuen it how you want depending on what you're doing
[01:13] <cablesm102> evan-1st`install
[01:13] <evan-1st`install> mhmm?
[01:13] <cablesm102> evan-1st`install, sorry, enter key got in the way
[01:13] <evan-1st`install> :P
[01:13] <LjL> AMAG, that kind of things happens routinely for me when trying to boot from CDs, however i just try a few times and eventually it loads
[01:14] <adaptr> morrolan: yeah, I'd noticed that - oh but you'd still need to switch that from the diamond, right ?
[01:14] <toM|vendettA_> hi how can i convert a .mov file to a .avi divx file??
[01:14] <cablesm102> evan-1st`install, I'm assuming you're installing Ubuntu. Are you having any problems, or are you just looking for some guidance?
[01:14] <evan-1st`install> guidance.
[01:14] <adaptr> morrolan: no way to do that the way nvidia does it on windows, depending on the application run ?
[01:14] <cablesm102> evan-1st`install, private chat?
[01:14] <Beverage> hey guys i changed the permissions on my /usr/bin/ folder now i cant access my synaptic and when i type "sudo synaptic" in terminal i get this message 'jon@jon-desktop:~$ sudo synaptic sudo: must be setuid root"
[01:14] <LjL> AMAG: don't ask me why (bad drive i suppose, yeah, but then it works *after* the kernel is loaded), but it's like that for me
[01:14] <evan-1st`install> sure.
[01:14] <evan-1st`install> pm me.
[01:14] <jrib> Beverage: what command did you use to change the permissions?
[01:14] <morrolan> adaptr - yeah, unless you can find the CLI command for switching profiles - then you set your link to start QuakeIV to point to a bash script, which changes beryl profile before lanuchning Quake IV   :)
[01:15] <Beverage> jrib: i used sudo chown -R jon:jon /usr/bin/
[01:15] <LjL> Beverage: very, very bad idea changing the permissions of such a folder.
[01:15] <adaptr> morrolan: well, that might be worth a try
[01:15] <Beverage> ljl: i needed to put a script in >.<
[01:15] <adaptr> Beverage: you make me smile
[01:15] <LjL> Beverage: i suggest a reinstall. there's no way to know what the original permissions actually were. however, you could try "sudo chown -R root:root /usr/bin/", but no guarantees
[01:15] <LjL> Beverage: in where?
[01:15] <cchance> Can someone walk me through sharing my internet connection?
[01:15] <morrolan> adaptr - that's the easiest, a bash script will only be 2 lines to switch profile, then run quake
[01:16] <morrolan> Hi, my Wireless Network is working fine, but network manager Applet is not showing?
[01:16] <LjL> Ubotu, tell cchance about firewall | cchance, see the private message from Ubotu
[01:16] <Beverage> LjL: in the bin folder
[01:16] <LjL> cchance: i believe that Firestarter can do that with a graphical interface
[01:16] <jrib> Beverage: everything in my /usr/bin is root owned except "at" which is daemon:daemon and lppasswd which is cupsys:lpadmin
[01:16] <cchance> ljl, ive tryed it but
[01:16] <adaptr> Beverage: mkdir ~/bin && echo "export PATH = $PATH:~/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile && cp file ~/bin && file
[01:17] <LjL> Beverage: 1) there's /usr/local for that, specifically /usr/local/bin 2) couldn't you just use sudo to put the script in there?
[01:17] <aLFiB> sup
[01:17] <cchance> ljl, every thime i install dhcp it fails to start for some odd reason and i duno whats wrong
[01:17] <adaptr> Beverage: there is *never* any need to mess with system directories - you need to quit this Wintendo habit :)
[01:17] <AMAG> ljl, I don't understand why it happens on these "desktop" cds but not the "alternate" ones
[01:17] <mon^rch> wow... ntfs3g working great
[01:17] <prower> Oh, you can switch between beryl and metacity with one right-click :> That solves that problem
[01:18] <Mazus> would anyone be able to help with mythstreamtv? i get this vlc error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3888/plain/
[01:18] <Beverage> adaptr: wintendo? and i didnt know there was another way to access a folder...i was simply told to put the script in "a" usr/bin folder
[01:18] <LjL> AMAG, that's what happens on *my* system, i have no clue if it's actually the same thing that's going on on *yours*... was just a suggestion. but anyway, why do you say you can't do the wifi stuff you need with the alternate CD? i'm not familiar with wifi, but i can't see why it wouldn't work
[01:19] <adaptr> Beverage: by whom ?
[01:19] <FantasticFoo> #ubuntu-effects
[01:19] <FantasticFoo> oops
[01:19] <Gunrun> guys, is there an ubuntu mac channel or something?
[01:19] <adaptr> Beverage: sudo cp file /usr/bin/local
[01:19] <rjg> prolly
[01:19] <Beverage> adaptr: erh...i beleive it was in this irc channel cant remember who
[01:19] <laserbeak44> hi
[01:19] <adaptr> Beverage: /usr/local/bin, sorry
[01:19] <rjg> there's Everything round here.
[01:19] <aLFiB> how do i see the users that are online in the channel?
[01:20] <LjL> cchance: i think you'd need to comment out and edit some stuff in /etc/dhcpd.conf - specifically the first "subnet" part
[01:20] <Gunrun> basically I want to know, will I need any drivers or anything when I install ubuntu?
[01:20] <rjg> left hand pane, aLFiB
[01:20] <AMAG> LjL, the wifi person is someone else.  I have a 3ware 9650SX RAID adapter and the driver on the ubuntu 6.10 discs does not recognize it.  I don't have a gcc 4.1 system that I can use to build one that will load into the ubuntu installer's kernel.  If I could get the live CD up and working I presume I could compile one since I can create a pretty large ramdisk.
[01:20] <LjL> cchance: just a guess though
[01:20] <rjg> *right rather
[01:20] <slept> what does the installer want me to tell if it says no root filesystem in "step 5" ? I have the partition, it has its fs on and i dont get more information ...does it strictly check for the 2GB ?
[01:20] <Beverage> adaptr: aaah crap okay well im off to reinstall....i just spent like... 6hours customizing
[01:20] <adaptr> Beverage: never mind now, you can boot from the Ubuntu CD and change the permissions back to root:root
[01:20] <cchance> ljl, il try it.
[01:20] <jrib> Beverage: I spoke to you earlier, and specifically said /usr/local/bin...
[01:20] <adaptr> Beverage: then don't reinstall
[01:20] <hcook> anybody know how i can investigate a particular video file to figure out why i can't play it? i've got lots of dvix files that work fine, but these new ones i got (from another ubuntu user who says they work fine) totem just says "Video codec DivX 5 is not handled"
[01:20] <laserbeak44> i installed edubuntu for my son and i am trying to get www.cartoonnewtork.com to work. so i managed to install flash player system-wide, but i did
[01:20] <LjL> AMAG: oh right, you said RAID adapter, no clue why i read wifi in there
[01:20] <laserbeak44> not install the active x plugin
[01:21] <adaptr> newtork ? lol
[01:21] <Beverage> adaptr: okay so i how do i change the permissions back?
[01:21] <laserbeak44> so my question is
[01:21] <Gunrun> gah, why the hell does mIRC refuse to let me join this blasted network
[01:21] <laserbeak44> you know wht i mean
[01:21] <AMAG> If someone on-channel has the proper GCC installed I could provide a URL to the driver I need compiled ;-)
[01:21] <laserbeak44> so my question is
[01:21] <laserbeak44> how do i install activex into firefox on linux?
[01:21] <LjL> AMAG... if there isn't a dependency hell involved...
[01:21] <Agrajag> You don't.
[01:21] <adaptr> Beverage: by booting with the livecd, mounting your ubuntu partition somewhere, and running chown -R root:root /usr/bin
[01:21] <LjL> AMAG: and if it doesn't take two days on a dual core...
[01:22] <morrolan> Hi, I cant' display nautilus-scripts in my right click context menu?
[01:22] <Agrajag> firefox activex depends on IE to work in windows
[01:22] <CyberCod> can anyone recommend a linux compatible usb 56k modem?
[01:22] <laserbeak44> oh
[01:22] <Beverage> adaptr: okay thanks ill be back tell you if it works
[01:22] <laserbeak44> so then u cant use that website?
[01:22] <jrib> Beverage: note that "at" and "lppasswd" are not owned by root
[01:22] <Agrajag> If you really need activex, the best way would probably be to install internet explorer in wine
[01:22] <laserbeak44> bah what a mess
[01:22] <CyberCod> I'm giving up on the two modems I have, and the serial port doesn't work
[01:22] <cchance> LJL, clint@clint-desktop:~$ /etc/init.d/dhcp start
[01:22] <cchance> Starting DHCP server: dhcpd failed to start - check syslog for diagnostics.
[01:22] <Agrajag> or use a windows virtual machine, or dual-boot
[01:22] <mattisgay> hey all
[01:23] <cchance> where are the diagnostics
[01:23] <laserbeak44> i just want him to be able to go to cartoon network on his own partition
[01:23] <jrib> morrolan: where di you put them?
[01:23] <LjL> cchance: in /var/log/syslog
[01:23] <Beverage> jrib: so i shud chown -R jon:jon /usr/bin/at ? and the same for lppasswd?
[01:23] <laserbeak44> well i downloaded edubuntu for him
[01:23] <mattisgay> i am trying to install on a usb flash drive, and go through the install procedure
[01:23] <morrolan> jrib - I put them in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
[01:23] <laserbeak44> so he can hae his own little computer thing goin on
[01:23] <mcphail> morrolan: did you make them executable?
[01:23] <LjL> Beverage: no, you should chown them to the user:group that jrib said, not to your own, and no "-R", that means "recursively"
[01:23] <laserbeak44> oh well il search for a site for him
[01:23] <mattisgay> it tells me to install some HP utility but it is not working.....what else can i do?
[01:24] <dimeo> happy friday nite everyone!
[01:24] <jrib> Beverage: everything in my /usr/bin is root owned except "at" which is daemon:daemon and "lppasswd" which is cupsys:lpadmin
[01:24] <morrolan> mcphail - I can't believe I missed that!  Cheers!
[01:24] <aLFiB> how do i see the users that are online in the channel?
[01:24] <CyberCod> Laserbeak... I found it easier to just copy cartoons to the drive
[01:24] <mcphail> morrolan: easily done :)
[01:24] <marcin> hello all
[01:24] <CyberCod> i have a PC for my son using edubuntu
[01:25] <Beverage> LjL: so sudo chown daemon:daemon /usr/bin/at and sudo chown cupsys:lpadmin /usr/bin/lppasswd?
[01:25] <marcin> i've got a bit problem with gnome-phone-manager using bluetooth, i can't pair the devices, when i run the gnome-phone-manager the phone ask me for a password, i give it "1234" and got: error...:(
[01:25] <wis> i`m having a problem to use OpenOficce on my Xubuntu, the program is installed, all dependences are OK but it`s not running... Anyone to help me? please
[01:25] <cchance> "Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the" <<< How do i do this
[01:26] <LjL> Beverage: yes, but first you need to make sure that the *rest* is chown'ed to root:root, and that's  sudo chown -R root:root /usr/bin/ 
[01:26] <AMAG> LjL, http://inconcepts.biz/~jsw/3ware_for2.6.17.tgz should be the appropriate driver
[01:26] <LjL> Beverage: of course, if sudo doesn't work, you'll have to boot in single user mode
[01:26] <aLFiB> a
[01:26] <AMAG> I had tried to build it myself but I don't have any systems with GCC 4.1 :(
[01:27] <AMAG> So it compiles but the ubuntu installer kernel refuses to load it
[01:27] <whiteys> i have broken packages and i cant remove them
[01:27] <marcin> i've got a bit problem with gnome-phone-manager using bluetooth, i can't pair the devices, when i run the gnome-phone-manager the phone ask me for a password, i give it "1234" and got: error...:(, i've asked google and nothing, tried also ubuntuforums without any success so i'm here, maybe someone has this problem, i can say only that it's strange but my phone doesn't see the pc, but pc can send without any problems a file to the phone ... weir
[01:27] <whiteys> is there anyone to help me
[01:27] <deafboy> anyone else having trouble playing wmv3 files in totem?
[01:27] <cchance> ljl, I get "Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment to which interface eth0 is attached." how dp i wright this?
[01:27] <AMAG> LjL, I'd be glad to paypal you a case of beer if you can help me out :)
[01:27] <jrib> !wmv | deafboy
[01:27] <cablesm102> Just want to confirm that dpkg -l only lists installed packages?
[01:27] <ubotu> deafboy: 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
[01:28] <jrib> cablesm102: yes
[01:28] <mattisgay> i am trying to install on a usb flash drive, and go through the install procedure it tells me to install some HP utility but it is not working.....what else can i do?
[01:28] <LjL> cchance: to be honest i don't quite know, i *think* it's a matter of uncommenting the first part of that file and changing it for your network, but i don't really know the specifics at all
[01:28] <jrib> cablesm102: man dpkg-query has the specifics
[01:28] <cablesm102> jrib, thanks
[01:29] <deafboy> jrib: no i have issues with totem crashing i have codecs installed
[01:29] <LjL> jrib, dpkg -l doesn't only list installed packages, i think it also lists non-purged packages for instance...?
[01:29] <jrib> LjL: hmm yeah seems like that's what the man page says...
[01:30] <LjL> jrib, cablesm102: dpkg -l | grep "^ii" should do the trick i think
[01:30] <marcin> i've got a bit problem with gnome-phone-manager using bluetooth, i can't pair the devices, when i run the gnome-phone-manager the phone ask me for a password, i give it "1234" and got: error...:(, i've asked google and nothing, tried also ubuntuforums without any success so i'm here, maybe someone has this problem, i can say only that it's strange but my phone doesn't see the pc, but pc can send without any problems a file to the phone ... weir
[01:30] <cablesm102> LjL, thanks. I was planning to grep for something else too, should I grep it twice?
[01:30] <rambo3> AMAG what are you trying to install and what version of gcc do you have
[01:30] <maziah> ola
[01:30] <LjL> cablesm102: yup
[01:30] <maziah> im after a kde partition manager.
[01:30] <LjL> AMAG, i'm not ignoring you, i'm trying
[01:30] <juano> cablesm102: dpkg -l <packagename> gives you the files that package installed
[01:31] <LjL> juano: that's dpkg -L
[01:31] <juano> LjL: yep -L with caps sorry
[01:31] <Redkudos> evening all, a newbish Q, have downloaded a distro of Sabayon to try out the beryl interface on a live DVD setup. the file is 3.4GB but gnomebaker and Nautilis keep rejecting the DVD's any ideas?
[01:32] <Ricket> Hi, I made a shortcut (Launcher?) on my desktop to a script which should run a game. Normally I browse to the folder and double-click, and then select run. Well the shortcut/launcher thing doesn't do anything when I double-click or right-click and hit Open. It does have execute permissions. How do I get it to run?
[01:32] <AMAG> rambo3, I am trying to install ubuntu 6.10 but the desktop CD won't boot for me.  My other computers have gcc 3.3.x which doesn't seem to produce modules which the ubuntu installer kernel is willing to load.
[01:32] <deafboy> totem crashes when i try to play any wmv files while i have the package w32codecs installled, but it refuses to play wmv3 if it isn't installed
[01:32] <rambo3> !info gcc  edgy
[01:32] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.1-6ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 5 kB, installed size 64 kB
[01:33] <jrib> deafboy: which totem are you using?  gstreamer or xine?
[01:33] <AMAG> At worst case I can just remove a disk from this array, install, build a kernel that works, move everything onto the array, then re-insert the helper hard disk into the array for a rebuild operation
[01:33] <whiteys> anyone can help me about broken packages
[01:33] <LjL> AMAG: compiled
[01:33] <deafboy> jrib: xine i believe
[01:33] <jrib> deafboy: any interesting output on the terminal?
[01:33] <deafboy> jrib: nothing shows up in terminal :(
[01:33] <AMAG> LjL, awesome; I can receive it via HTTP, DCC, email, whatever
[01:34] <LjL> AMAG: i'll try a DCC transfer first, but i don't think it'll work, i'm behind a dozen NATs
[01:34] <whiteys> anyone can help me about broken packages
[01:34] <deafboy> jrib: i have all the gstreamer packages installed, but it's running the xine engine XD
[01:34] <jrib> deafboy: does it crash if you do "totem" then opena  file?  What about "totem /path/to/file"
[01:34] <laserbeak44> i just downloaded and installed the JRE as Root but firefox still doesnt load pages with jave in em
[01:34] <jrib> !java | laserbeak44
[01:34] <ubotu> laserbeak44: 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
[01:34] <whiteys> anyone can help me about broken packagess
[01:34] <jrib> whiteys: pastebin your errors, we can't really know if we can help you without more info
[01:35] <AMAG> Hrm, dcc timeout :(
[01:35] <Redkudos> evening all, a newbish Q, have downloaded a distro of Sabayon to try out the beryl interface on a live DVD setup. the file is 3.4GB but gnomebaker and Nautilis keep rejecting the DVD's any ideas?
[01:35] <jordo23> Whats the command line to see which version of Ubuntu/Kubuntu a system is running?
[01:35] <jrib> !version | jordo23
[01:35] <ubotu> jordo23: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[01:35] <AMAG> I have an HTTP upload tool if that's easier for you than other means, LjL
[01:35] <LjL> AMAG: that or email, same for me
[01:36] <deafboy> jrib:aha i got a crash log now
[01:36] <laserbeak44> jrib: thanks :)
[01:36] <jordo23> If I just installed Dapper.....whats the easiest way to upgrade to edgy?
[01:36] <Flannel> !upgrade | jordo23
[01:36] <ubotu> jordo23: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:36] <lebowski> how do I boot ubuntu in text mode (diagnostic) ?
[01:36] <deafboy> jrib: received X error event: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
[01:36] <deafboy> The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
[01:36] <deafboy> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[01:36] <deafboy> The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
[01:36] <deafboy>   (Details: serial 84 error_code 8 request_code 142 minor_code 17)
[01:36] <dimeo> jordo23: if you just installed it... then the quickest is to install edgy
[01:36] <jrib> !paste | deafboy
[01:36] <ubotu> deafboy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:37] <Flannel> jordo23, I'd have to agree with dimeo
[01:37] <jrib> deafboy: which case was that?  just "totem" and then opening in the gui or "totem file"?
[01:37] <cablesm102> lebowski, choose Recovery Mode in Grub when it boots
[01:37] <deafboy> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3896/
[01:37] <deafboy> jrib: totem /path/to/file
[01:38] <deafboy> jrib: if i just do totem and use it with gui i get no output
[01:38] <Ricket> How do I make a Launcher to execute a shell script?
[01:38] <adaptr> just put the name of the script in it
[01:38] <Ricket> it's not working
[01:38] <jrib> Ricket: create a custom launcher, choose "application" as the type, and use the path to the command
[01:38] <prower> Wow, beryl and gnome in 6.10 go together pretty nicely :> Stable so far
[01:38] <adaptr> then you're doing it wrong :)
[01:39] <adaptr> prower: yers, kinky :)
[01:39] <Ricket> aha, maybe I need to use type "Application in Terminal"
[01:39] <jrib> Ricket: only if you want it to run in a terminal, it shouldn't be necessary to just run the command though
[01:39] <prower> adaptr: A lot of the reviews of it make it look really gaudy and useless, but there's good features in there and the defaults look great
[01:39] <prower> Ring switching is definitely nice :>
[01:40] <dimeo> anyone have a favourite ubuntu program of the day?
[01:40] <Ricket> jrib: well it starts up and shows a couple messages in the terminal before starting SDL and a fullscreen mode window
[01:40] <adaptr> Ricket: if the script needs a shell, yes - but also consider that you need to specify exactly where it is
[01:40] <Ricket> jrib: but, that type didn't work anyway
[01:40] <sapage_> how do i install an older version of vnc4server?
[01:40] <jordo23> dimeo: I just installed Dapper from an older CD...
[01:40] <Ricket> i did specify where it is - /usr/sauerbraten/sauerbraten_unix
[01:40] <deafboy> jrib: did you see that i gave you a pastbin link?
[01:40] <Ricket> i can't get any more specific than that
[01:40] <adaptr> prower: ring switching ?
[01:40] <mzanfardino> I've recently installed a microphone, but when I run sound recorder, I get a message telling me my audio capture settings are invlalid adnt ath i should correct ehm in the multimedia settings.  I can't find multimedia settings however.  where should I look to set up the microphone?
[01:40] <jrib> deafboy: pastebin seems to be lagging here
[01:41] <prower> adaptr: If you put your cursor at the top right corner of the screen, all of your open windows are arranged into one ring that you can switch between programs by clicking on
[01:41] <adaptr> Ricket: open a terminal, run it as stated - if it works then use that
[01:41] <jrib> deafboy: see if it happens with a new user
[01:41] <Ricket> adaptr: it works
[01:41] <adaptr> prower: which version ?
[01:41] <Ricket> adaptr: but, the launcher still doesn't, either type
[01:41] <prower> adaptr: Latest version from the repository I guess, I just installed it myself :>
[01:41] <jrib> Ricket: what does your script do exactly?  Launch a window of some kind?
[01:41] <Ricket> adaptr: is there a way to keep the terminal on the screen? when i double-click the Launcher, the terminal window flashes and then closes
[01:41] <prower> (Following their instructions)
[01:41] <adaptr> Ricket: what do you mean, "type" ? "run in terminal" is a checkbox, no ?
[01:42] <Richardson183> When Upgrading from Dapper Drake to Edgy Eft, does it delete the home folder?
[01:42] <Richardson183> When Upgrading from Dapper Drake to Edgy Eft, does it delete the home folder?
[01:42] <jrib> Ricket: no
[01:42] <Ricket> jrib: it determines a few things and then launches an application with certain parameters
[01:42] <lebowski> thanks cablesm102
[01:42] <jrib> Richardson183: no
[01:42] <Ricket> adaptr: it's not a checkbox, it's one of 3 options... i'm on 6.10
[01:42] <Gunrun> guys, a thought has just occured to me
[01:42] <Gunrun> Will all software made for Ubuntu work on the PPC version of the distro?
[01:43] <Richardson183> jrib:> well i'm downloading the iso of edgy i don't know how i would go about installing
[01:43] <Vuen> Gunrun: nope
[01:43] <adaptr> Ricket: okay, well it still is on KDE :(
[01:43] <Gunrun> bugger
[01:43] <Vuen> Gunrun: pretty much all open source software will
[01:43] <Ricket> KAN-u-C: wtf? I don't want to join #tvrocks
[01:43] <adaptr> Gunrun: if you install the PPC versions of the software, sure
[01:43] <Vuen> Gunrun: but proprietary stuff like Flash won't
[01:43] <jrib> !upgrade | Richardson183
[01:43] <ubotu> Richardson183: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:43] <Gunrun> ok, well that is all I care about, vuen
[01:43] <jordo23> !Nvidia | jordo23
[01:43] <ubotu> jordo23: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:43] <Gunrun> is open source
[01:43] <lebowski> update overwrote my fglrx drivers :(
[01:43] <Vuen> Gunrun: in that case you're fine
[01:43] <Gunrun> I just pan on using it for music and media
[01:43] <Gunrun> although apparently getting MP3s working is a bit of a hastle
[01:44] <Vuen> Gunrun: not really. just use automatix
[01:44] <adaptr> update took me 1500MB of download but worked perfectly :)
[01:44] <riotkittie> DO NOT USE automatix. no. no. no. :P
[01:44] <adaptr> !automatix
[01:44] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:44] <sapage_> how do i install an older version of vnc4server? the current one is running a bug that i can not work with?
[01:44] <mzanfardino> what's wrong with automatix, kittie?
[01:44] <marty> I'd like to restrict a user on this Ubuntu computer from deleting his Firefox history: How can I do this?
[01:44] <n2diy_> ! automatix | gunrun, Vuen
[01:44] <ubotu> gunrun, Vuen: 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
[01:44] <adaptr> sapage_: use aptitude, pin the older version (so it won't try to upgrade)
[01:44] <jrib> Ricket: I don't know, I guess you could start sending output to ~/debugging to see if that helps you debug the problem.  It should just work
[01:45] <Gunrun> righto
[01:45] <mzanfardino> oic
[01:45] <sapage_> adaptr: i am newish how do i do that?
[01:45] <rowanjl> hey, I've just used the alternate CD to install ubuntu, but when it gets to the point where the system boots for the first time, X fails and I can't continue... what can I do??
[01:45] <Ricket> jrib: have you heard of the game Sauerbraten? open source, I think it's in the synaptic manager... that's the thing I'm trying to get running, if you've ever heard of it by chance.
[01:45] <KAN-u-C> Hi
[01:46] <jrib> Ricket: doesn't seem to be in synaptic.  Does your script work when you run it from the terminal?
[01:46] <rowanjl> I'm stuck in the console right now
[01:46] <adaptr> rowanjl: look in the Xorg error log
[01:46] <Ricket> jrib: yes, if i type /usr/sauerbraten/sauerbraten_unix in the terminal, it works just fine... displays a few init messages and then loads fullscreen into the game
[01:46] <adaptr> rowanjl: less /var/log/xorg.0.log, use "q" to exit
[01:46] <marty> I'd like to restrict a user on this Ubuntu computer from deleting his Firefox history: How can I do this?
[01:47] <Vuen> Ricket: i'm pretty sure that's not in the repos. there's a guide on the ubuntu wiki on how to get it working, and it basically says "drop this tarball into your home"
[01:47] <adaptr> marty: you cannot; it's in his home directory, and he needs to be able to write to it to update the history
[01:47] <deafboy> jrib: no new user didn't do anything
[01:47] <morrolan> /exit
[01:47] <jrib> deafboy: does that mean it still crashes?
[01:47] <deafboy> jrib: yes
[01:47] <jrib> deafboy: file a bug/ check for bug reports at bugs.ubuntu.com
[01:47] <adaptr> marty: if you wantg to preserve it, set up an rsync job that copies it somewhere he doesn't have access
[01:47] <DanZ> how do I adjust the sound volume?
[01:47] <marty> What's rsync?
[01:48] <adaptr> marty: or staright copy, should work too if it;s not too big
[01:48] <jrib> DanZ: use the speaker in your notification area
[01:48] <adaptr> *straight
[01:48] <charlesg3> rsync will synchronize two directories
[01:48] <rowanjl> adaptr: damn, I've only got one console :/ to do that I'd have to kill this chat. Can you tell me how to reconfigure X and how to start the installer again?
[01:48] <dimeo> anyone know a good battery monitor for my laptop?
[01:48] <deafboy> jrib: this is with the w32codecs package installed
[01:48] <marty> are there any parental controls I can use for ubuntu
[01:48] <adaptr> rowanjl: only one console ? then you're in single user mode
[01:48] <shaneCO> hello
[01:48] <rowanjl> adaptr: yep, recovery mode
[01:48] <nexous> How do i set permissions to usr/share/php ?
[01:48] <shaneCO> I'm trying to install Ubuntu and having some issues with the partitioning
[01:48] <nexous> !chmod
[01:48] <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
[01:48] <adaptr> rowanjl: starting the installer again means booting the CD, obviously - why are you using the alternative CD ?
[01:49] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[01:49] <train> hmmm
[01:49] <train> beryl works
[01:49] <Jaws> Anyone know how to change the text that is displayed after logging in through ssh?
[01:49] <rowanjl> adaptr: because the X config for the normal CDs fail, and at least with the alternate cd I can use the text mode installer
[01:49] <Jaws> Like this topic : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=310493
[01:49] <adaptr> Jaws: /etc/motd, /etc/issue.net, man those
[01:50] <Ricket> adaptr: I got it working. I looked in the file, and one of the first lines was the setting of a variable for the Sauerbraten folder. It was set to ".", so I changed it to the absolute path.
[01:50] <shaneCO> I'm trying to install it onto a hard disk that has already been partitioned, with partition 1 having Linspire installed, and I'm now trying to install Ubuntu onto the second partition.  I'm at the step with boot points and I don't know what to do
[01:50] <Jaws> adaptr, ok thanks
[01:50] <adaptr> rowanjl: what do you mean, they fail ? you don't even get te installer to work ? what kind of video do you have ?
[01:51] <adaptr> shaneCO: mount points, you need at least 2 and preferably three, but if linspire already has swap then you don't need another one for that
[01:51] <rowanjl> adaptr: I've got a Radeon X800, it can't seem to find my monitor. but I'm willing to configure it myself and start the second stage installer...
[01:52] <adaptr> rowanjl: the monitor should not be the problem for the (very loose) installer - ever
[01:52] <adaptr> rowanjl: what kind of monitor ?
[01:52] <rowanjl> Samsung SyncMaster 940n
[01:52] <Vuen> rowanjl: hey, i have the 940bw
[01:52] <Vuen> rowanjl: samsung monitors rock
[01:52] <rowanjl> yeah
[01:53] <adaptr> rowanjl: DVI connected ?
[01:53] <Vuen> that's wierd that it can't find the monitor. these monitors can usually take anything you throw at them
[01:53] <rowanjl> no, standard
[01:53] <adaptr> that's the only reason I can think of why that should be an issue
[01:53] <marty> are there any parental controls I can use for ubuntu
[01:53] <adaptr> so no, it's not your monitor
[01:53] <rowanjl> bugger
[01:53] <rowanjl> well, how do I reconfigure X?
[01:54] <adaptr> have you checked the dmesg output from such a failed install ?
[01:54] <Music_Shuffle> !reconfigure X
[01:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reconfigure X - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:54] <rowanjl> nope
[01:54] <adaptr> you don't even know if that's the problem, yet :)
[01:54] <adaptr> you need to read xorg.0.log
[01:54] <riotkittie> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   rowanjl
[01:54] <rowanjl> adaptr: well, it fails and X gives a message about no screens.
[01:54] <riotkittie> or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:54] <laserbeak44> there a divx codec for ubuntu and totem media player?
[01:54] <drew1313> hello all Drew here from Knoxville, TN
[01:54] <adaptr> doesn't this irc client allow you to shell out ?
[01:55] <adaptr> riotkittie: that's useless if you don't know what the problem is
[01:55] <cchance> Can some one walk me through a procedure to share my connection with out firestarter?
[01:55] <Greenwood> i need some help over here
[01:55] <rowanjl> adaptr: I'll be back soon.
[01:55] <Greenwood> please
[01:55] <adaptr> riotkittie: if the liveCD b0rks then reconfigure is also not very likely to help
[01:55] <adaptr> !ask | Greenwood
[01:55] <ubotu> Greenwood: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:55] <drew1313> what's up Greenwood?
[01:55] <Greenwood> ayy ok
[01:55] <Greenwood> im booted from knoppix rioght now
[01:56] <drew1313> and?
[01:56] <acuster> hey all, is there a way to add static dns to resolv.conf as well as the dynamic dns that gets assigned?
[01:56] <shaneCO> so what am I going to make the mount point for the partition for ubuntu?
[01:56] <Greenwood> and i have a prob cuz i made a new partition from windows on my second hd... this somehow messed up the partition numbers and grub cant load ubuntu because ubuntu has moved from partition hdb,1 to hdb,4
[01:57] <adaptr> shaneCO: you need to create the partition first
[01:57] <shaneCO> I already have the partitions though
[01:57] <adaptr> acuster: resolv.conf is autogenerated, look deeper :)
[01:57] <adaptr> shaneCO: like what ?
[01:57] <shaneCO> I used gparted to partition the drive
[01:57] <acuster> adaptr, indeed, where?
[01:57] <adaptr> yes.. *how*
[01:57] <shaneCO> and I have Linspire on the first one
[01:57] <shaneCO> sorry
[01:58] <cchance> Can some walk me through a procedure that will share my internet connection without using firestarter?
[01:58] <shaneCO> I guess I don't understand
[01:58] <Charron> might as well throw my question onto the pile. Trying to get drivers for my ATI Radeon X200 Mobile set up. the Wiki says to use fglrx (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI), but when I go and edit xorg.conf to disable Composite it causes a black screen when I restart, forcing me to undo the switch in a console boot. What am I doing wrong, if anything, and do I have to disable Composite?
[01:59] <riotkittie> what are you trying to do - mount the ubuntu partition under linspire? mount the ubuntu partition under linspire pre ubuntu install? i'm lost.
[01:59] <Greenwood> ....
[01:59] <riotkittie> !grub > Greenwood
[01:59] <LazyAngel> anyone knows the command for closing a cd-rom tray? im off site, and it has opened. Cant burn to the disc :(
[01:59] <adaptr> shaneCO: how did you partition the drive ?
[02:00] <Greenwood> whats that riotkittie
[02:00] <adaptr> LazyAngel: man eject
[02:00] <jordo23> If I am running dapper and did apt-get dist upgrade....it still says I am running dapper, what else to do to upgrade to edgy?
[02:00] <jordo23> And yes I rebooted...
[02:00] <cchance> Where can i find a walkthrough to share the internet?
[02:00] <riotkittie> Greenwood: did you get a private msg from the bot/
[02:00] <shaneCO> ok I want to have both Linspire and Ubuntu on the computer.  I used Gparted to partition it.  Both are primary paritions, #1 is reiserfs and #2 I don't remember what it is
[02:00] <cchance> on my network
[02:00] <Greenwood> nope
[02:00] <adaptr> jordo23: where does it say that ? uname - a?
[02:01] <Greenwood> onyl ">grub"
[02:01] <riotkittie> !grub | Greenwood
[02:01] <ubotu> Greenwood: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:01] <LazyAngel> adaptr: thanks
[02:01] <shaneCO> I don't want to touch #1 because it already has Linspire loaded on it
[02:01] <shaneCO> I just want #2 to have Ubuntu
[02:01] <mphill> does anyone know if ubuntu 7.04 will compile deb for 586, or when this will happen?
[02:01] <Greenwood> yeah ive already been through all those actually
[02:01] <adaptr> shaneCO: no other partitions ? if the second one is swap for linspire then you cannot use that
[02:02] <mike998> I have a problem with all my video playback looking washed out like the gamma is off...
[02:02] <gavinc> I am having problems with Xorg eating 50-60% of my cpu. Anyone else suffering this?
[02:02] <cchance> I grow tired of asking. Where can i find a walkthrough for sharring the internet connection with my network
[02:02] <jordo23> lsb_release -a says I am running 6.06...
[02:02] <mike998> this is with all video playing programs (xine, vlc)
[02:02] <adaptr> gavinc: restart it ?
[02:02] <adaptr> jordo23: that wasna the question...
[02:02] <Charron> cchance- is there one on the wiki?
[02:02] <mike998> any ideas?
[02:02] <Charron> thought I saw one but I'm not 100% sure what you're asking
[02:03] <jordo23> adaptr: uname -a doesn't say version...
[02:03] <cchance> I dont think so ive searched it but no results
[02:03] <shaneCO> ok... it's a 40gb drive, something like 32g is for linspire, then there's about 8 gigs in the second partition and then like 488mb free space
[02:03] <frogzoo> cchance: you're likely to find several howtos - google 'nat + iptables'
[02:03] <Greenwood> can anyone help me?
[02:03] <adaptr> jordo23: if it says kernel 2.6.17-10-generic then you're running edgy
[02:04] <acuster> so adaptr you have a pointer?

[02:04] <jrib> bah he left I guess
[02:04] <rowanjl> apecat: well, that didn't help :P
[02:04] <adaptr> acuster: I was just looking at my config, and I remember I hand-changed it recently ebcause ubuntu's "autoconfig" was pissing me off .. so you can probably change it, unless you DHCP
[02:04] <rowanjl> apecat: sorry, that was for adaptr
[02:05] <adaptr> rowanjl: what ?
[02:05] <rowanjl> adaptr: me messing around with the config didn't help - you where right
[02:05] <shaneCO> adaptr: ok... it's a 40gb drive, something like 32g is for linspire, then there's about 8 gigs in the second partition and then like 488mb free space
[02:05] <rowanjl> how do I install the ATI drivers?
[02:05] <mike998>  no?
[02:05] <jrib> !ati | rowanjl
[02:05] <ubotu> rowanjl: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:05] <rowanjl> thanks
[02:05] <riotkittie> what driver are you using?
[02:06] <adaptr> shaneCO: so no swap partition ? I'm liking linspire even less now :)
[02:06] <Ilovemypuppy> I set up a LAMP server, im looking for directions on how to set up MySQL
[02:06] <shaneCO> adaptr: apparently not
[02:06] <Ilovemypuppy> I want to have a private forum site
[02:06] <adaptr> rowanjl: you should *not* need the binaries for an install
[02:06] <Mazus> would anyone be able to help with mythstreamtv? i get this vlc error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3888/plain/
[02:06] <Mazus> :(
[02:06] <rainwalker> Hey, I'm totally new to IRC...do we just talk about whatever pops up?
[02:06] <Greenwood> can anyone help me with a partition problem
[02:06] <adaptr> rowanjl: you can do that later, but if it is fully installed now (which I doubt) you should probably follow that...

[02:07] <ubotu> rainwalker: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:07] <rowanjl> adaptr: I know, but what choice do I have?
[02:07] <adaptr> damn, that was not exactly what I wanted
[02:07] <rainwalker> Okay, I'll go check it out, thanks!
[02:07] <acuster> so does one file the bug against ubuntu or against network manager?
[02:07] <distro-tester> rowan did u know joe erik rowan called hammer joe?
[02:07] <shaneCO> adaptr: so what should I make the mount point for this partition I want to put ubuntu on? or am I going to need more partitions?
[02:08] <adaptr> rowanjl: I think you need to find out if it was really installed - reboot and start normally, if it fails xorg then you should at least be left at a normal terminal, not in rescue mode
[02:08] <netsrot> Hi, where should the joystick dev apear?
[02:08] <riotkittie> hrm. anyone know how i'd go about checking battery level from the command line ?
[02:08] <adaptr> shaneCO: you need at least one swap partition as well, about the same size as your RAM (could be less if you have tons of RAM), and the mount point for Ubuntu is / (root)
[02:08] <rowanjl> adaptr: yep, I'll try that after I try the binaries, unless you object
[02:09] <adaptr> shaneCO: any particualr reason you did not let Ubuntu do the partitioning for you ?
[02:09] <shaneCO> adaptr: I was paranoid it would delete my Linspire stuff
[02:09] <adaptr> rowanjl: you need to do that *now*, if your install is borked then anything you do now is wasted effort
[02:09] <adaptr> shaneCO: it won't
[02:09] <shaneCO> alright adaptr
[02:10] <shaneCO> adaptr: so if I try again and just let it handle the partitioning it'll all be good?
[02:10] <adaptr> shaneCO: it may tell you you have no space left, in that case delete the 8GB partition first
[02:10] <rowanjl> adaptr: I've tried this with all three of the CD types, all of them fail to configure X for the installer
[02:10] <Hudson> Can anyone suggest a bittorrent client that functions similarly to utorrent?
[02:10] <shaneCO> ok
[02:10] <adaptr> rowanjl: that should not matter, after you have installed you should be able to boot and log in normally, at least
[02:10] <wilmsen> 
[02:10] <njero> hey all, I installed rails to my laptop and am tryning to remove it... unfortunately it shoved a bunch of stuff into /usr/local/bin... is there anyway to unistall that or should I just rm it?
[02:10] <dimeo> anyone play savage?
[02:10] <adaptr> Hudson: wine + utorrent :) works like a charm
[02:11] <Ilovemypuppy> Anyone? Im looking for some good tutorial sites on how to get started with mysql
[02:11] <Hudson> www.w3schools.org
[02:11] <rowanjl> adaptr: I suspect that the ati driver doesn't support my card, and that is where the problem lies
[02:11] <rowanjl> last time I installed ubuntu I had an nvidia card
[02:11] <Hudson> Thanks Adaptr, I was hoping for a more linux native torrent program,
[02:11] <adaptr> rowanjl: there are indeed two types of ati driver, neither supporting all cards
[02:11] <rowanjl> and I swapped it over and installed the binary divers for the ati card
[02:11] <Hudson> but i'll try it
[02:11] <adaptr> Hudson: I've not come across one yet
[02:12] <rowanjl> adaptr: well, thanks, I'll be back soon!
[02:12] <adaptr> rowanjl: but it did work then
[02:12] <acuster> ciao all. thanks
[02:12] <rowanjl> adaptr: yep, binaries worked
[02:12] <Hudson> Adaptr is wine difficult to set up?
[02:12] <JonTec> hey guys, how can I get a listing of ALL of the packages I have installed from command line... something I can do grep on?
[02:13] <kitche> JonTec: dpkg -l
[02:13] <adaptr> Hudson: dunno.. depends ? it should be pretty simple to get going, and utorrent isn't exactly a complex application :)
[02:13] <adaptr> beat me to it
[02:13] <cablesm102> JonTec, that won't work. It also lists packages with config files still.
[02:14] <cablesm102> JonTec: dpkg -l | grep "^ii"
[02:14] <bwilma> 
[02:14] <adaptr> 
[02:14] <adaptr> heh
[02:14] <kitche> isn't dpkg -l what I said?
[02:14] <JonTec> cablesm102, kitche: thanks :D
[02:14] <cablesm102> kitche, you left out the grep bit
[02:14] <cchance> Sorry guys about this. The only ones that i can find about internet sharring are for obsolete versions of linux. I have resorted to firestarter. I have it configured for sharring but when my client goes to connect it wont load what have i done wrong?
[02:14] <cablesm102> kitche, i think that dpkg -l also lists packages with only config files remaining
[02:14] <adaptr> yes, but it also lists configged bu tremoved packages, apparently
[02:15] <kitche> cablesm102: well he knows how to use grep already from his question so I left it out
[02:15] <LjL> note also that "dpkg -l" can cut package names, if they're very long
[02:15] <cablesm102> kitche, ok
[02:15] <LjL> "dpkg --get-selections" shouldn't
[02:17] <Khem> how can I find a package associated with an install file on my machine ? e.g. how do I say which package provide /bin/ls
[02:17] <shaneCO> adaptr: ok, so it's installing, but now there's a base system information error.... something about bootstrap ... return value 139
[02:18] <LjL> Khem: dpkg -S filename
[02:18] <adaptr> shaneCO: no clue, sorry - what CD did you use ?
[02:18] <cablesm102> Speaking of grep, can anyone tell me the regex symbol for any amount of characters between other things?
[02:18] <adaptr> cablesm102: .*
[02:18] <shaneCO> adaptr: umm I got it from the site, I downloaded an iso as a torrent
[02:18] <dimeo> i'm using gaim. .. any way to turn off enter and exit messages?
[02:18] <adaptr> shaneCO: *which* CD
[02:19] <Khem> LjL: thanks
[02:19] <LjL> Khem: Syntax error
[02:19] <cablesm102> adaptr, how do I use it in grep? I'm trying "grep "stuff*otherstuff"" and it's not working
[02:19] <LjL> Khem: there's also apt-file, which can tell you that even for packages you *don't* have installed. useful when compiling
[02:19] <frogzoo> cablesm102: man egrep
[02:19] <shaneCO> adaptr: ubuntu 6.10 alternate i386
[02:20] <cablesm102> frogzoo, thanks
[02:20] <adaptr> shaneCO: why not the normal install CD ?
[02:20] <Khem> LjL: hmmm I dont have apt-file installed
[02:20] <shaneCO> cause I don't have a 64bit proccessor
[02:20] <LjL> Khem: no, it's not there by default
[02:20] <adaptr> shaneCO: huh ?
[02:20] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Khem about apt-file | Khem, see the private message from Ubotu
[02:20] <njero> hey all, how do I find a symlink? I removed what it points to...
[02:21] <adaptr> shaneCO: get the normal install CD
[02:21] <oljanx> is there a way to prevent grub from popping up after a system hibernate?
[02:21] <Khem> LjL: just did what it said thanks
[02:21] <LjL> njero: "find" as in "obtain the contents again"? you can't
[02:21] <shaneCO> adaptr: ok.. what's the point of the alternate disk then?
[02:21] <adaptr> shaneCO: in case the normal one doesn't work for you
[02:21] <njero> LjL: no... I want to remove the link to the empty place..
[02:22] <dimeo> shaneCO: it's a text installer instead of gui
[02:22] <LjL> njero: and you lack which information?
[02:22] <shaneCO> alright, thanks adaptr, I'll be back later!
[02:22] <adaptr> njero: find -type l
[02:23] <adaptr> njero: that finds symlinks, then ls -l it to see if its dead (unlinked)
[02:23] <njero> aha

[02:23] <Kud|> What's the command to give files drwxr-xr-x permissions? Is it: ls drwxr-xr-x "foldername" ?
[02:23] <adaptr> errr.. no
[02:23] <njero> adaptr: is that global... or just the current foldeR?
[02:24] <pintas> i need pro help please! anyone?
[02:24] <LjL> cablesm102: that is, something followed by whatever followed by somethingelse? that's "something.*somethingelse"
[02:24] <adaptr> njero: it starts from the current folder, and works its way down

[02:25] <frogzoo> cablesm102: egrep 'blah.*blah' filename

[02:26] <njero> adaptr: okay I tried that and turned up no results... when I type irb at the console it gives me => bash: /usr/local/bin/irb: No such file or directory . Is that indicative of a symlink or is that normal?

[02:28] <njero> adaptr: I did and it turned up no results...
[02:28] <rowanjl> thanks again
[02:28] <pintas> LjL: can you help me?
[02:29] <njero> adaptr: sorry I am a bit noob, I appreciate the help...
[02:29] <adaptr> njero: find / -type l | grep irb
[02:29] <LjL> pintas: afraid not, never done that sort of thing
[02:29] <adaptr> njero: "which irb" should also work if its executable globally
[02:29] <pintas> LjL: :( bummer... do you know who i can talk to?
[02:30] <njero> adaptr: both turn up empty (I had to run find as sudo to get past some permission denied errors....)
[02:30] <LjL> not really pintas, perhaps you might try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic too (not that it's offtopic, but)
[02:30] <adaptr> njero: yet when you run "irb" as a command it tells you what you said above ? that means that's where the symlink is pointing
[02:30] <pintas> LjL: Thank you, i'll try that
[02:31] <adaptr> njero: ...or where the symlink itself is, but then which irb should tell you that
[02:31] <njero> adaptr: yeah, that makes sense... I am at a loss...
[02:32] <adaptr> njero: how did you delete the executable > and more to the point, *why* ?
[02:33] <njero> adaptr: with rm.... I did it because I was trying to get rid of irb so I could reinstall... like I said: I am all idiot.
[02:33] <njero> :)
[02:33] <adaptr> how did you *install* it in the first place ?
[02:33] <njero> apt-get install... and as near as I can tell it is totally uninstalled now...

[02:46] <Asc> njero: *downloads*.  I keep trying all the media players I hear about in the hope that I'll eventually find one that doesn't suck.
[02:46] <ozoneco2> LjL: restarting..started in recovery mode
[02:47] <njero> Asc: I have lots of hope for it... a new nightly system is due soon... also, I can't get my ipod to work in it even with the windjay plugin...
[02:47] <LjL> ozoneco2: hm, probably a filesystem error that fsck couldn't quite correct automatically. if you *get* into recovery mode, run fsck manually (remount the filesystem as read-only first)
[02:47] <njero> Asc: even though amorok and gtkpod work
[02:47] <Roscar> njero: songbird isn't found with apt-get... what am I doing wrong?
[02:47] <njero> Roscar: you have to download it from songbirdnest.com
[02:48] <Asc> njero: I guess it's a good thing I don't have an ipod.
[02:48] <njero> :)
[02:48] <kitche> Roscar: songbird doesn't have a stable linux build have to get it from their website
[02:48] <Roscar> thanks all.
[02:48] <njero> Is there a good way to clear /var/cache/apt?
[02:48] <ozoneco2> LjL: started this time...figures...i open my mouth and ask..makes me the silly one :)
[02:48] <jrib> njero: sudo apt-get clean   see man apt-get
[02:48] <LjL> ozoneco2: probably the second run of fsck managed to correct the errors
[02:49] <EnsignRedshirt> Is autopackage safe to use with ubuntu?  It sounds interesting, but I don't know much about it, and anything that mucks about with files behind apt
[02:49] <robdeman> hi folks what is the best SVN client for Linux? I am used to Turtoise on Windows..?
[02:49] <EnsignRedshirt> ... behind apt's back make me nervous.
[02:49] <OzoneCo> LjL, thanks for the time no less
[02:49] <kitche> EnsignRedshirt: well I only used autopackage once and I didn't like it much since it works just like an executable the package does
[02:50] <OzoneCo>  a comma isnt the same as the colon after the name is it?
[02:50] <momo> how do i make xmms the default app for audio files?
[02:50] <LjL> OzoneCo: what?
[02:50] <laserbeak43> hi again i on my son non admin acccount and flash works after i installed it but it produces no sound
[02:51] <LjL> !defaultapp | momo
[02:51] <ubotu> momo: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[02:51] <ozoneco2> LjL: this is gnome xchat...with a tab it adds :
[02:51] <OzoneCo> LjL, with Xchat, i get a comma
[02:51] <momo> haha.. the same as windows
[02:51] <LjL> ozoneco: oh, right. that depends on the client (and it's configurable for some). it doesn't make much of a practical difference
[02:51] <internet_> hi,anyone can tell me how cani login as a root
[02:52] <LjL> Ubotu, tell internet_ about root | internet_, see the private message from Ubotu
[02:52] <EnsignRedshirt> kitche: Yeah, the .package file is a bash script that (somehow) checks for dependencies and installs files.  I just worried about it changing files that were installed by apt as part of an ubuntu package.
[02:52] <LjL> internet_: (don't)
[02:52] <EnsignRedshirt> *I'm
[02:52] <LjL> EnsignRedshirt: good reason to be worried about, i'd say
[02:52] <dimeo> anyone use fwcutter for wireless?
[02:52] <tecywiz121> hey, anyone know where to get help with fuse?
[02:53] <Asc> internet_: Just with a terminal, or in gnome?
[02:53] <laserbeak43> i just searched the ubuntu support site and i dont see anything about having sound problems in flash
[02:53] <OzoneCo> LjL, so you still see a highlight with a comma the same as a colon?
[02:54] <LjL> OzoneCo: yup... i believe most sane clients get a highlight in either case
[02:54] <OzoneCo> LjL, kewl, thanks
[02:54] <LjL> OzoneCo: my client defaults to colon (if at the beginning of the line) or nothing (if in the middle)
[02:54] <dimeo> any command to find out my kernel version?
[02:54] <LjL> dimeo: uname -r
[02:54] <ademan> this is driving me nuts, i can't for the life of me get my ATI card to work, i tried the binary installer via ati.com, now i'm trying the bleeding edge driver repository, both of them i get "incompatible kernel module detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work"   can anyone help me?  (sorry for reposting but i really need help)
[02:55] <OzoneCo> LjL: thskasdfdsgjdsaflksfddjdfjdfjdfjjkj
[02:55] <dimeo> thx
[02:55] <LjL> ?
[02:55] <OzoneCo> LjL: sry.....mine does nothing either
[02:55] <OzoneCo> LjL: didnt mean to send
[02:55] <Crescendo_> What are the little boxes with numbers I keep seeing in some bodies of text?
[02:55] <OzoneCo> its a habit to hit enter i guess
[02:55] <laserbeak43> ademan: i tried with just about every distro i used and ive accepted that my card willl get no 3d
[02:55] <internet_> Asc: tanks, could u tell me how can i login as root in gnome
[02:55] <laserbeak43> screw ati for screwing me
[02:55] <LjL> OzoneCo: oh but i meant in the middle of the line *after a space* anyway :P and "nothing" as in completes the nickname, but without any colon or comma
[02:56] <laserbeak43> my next card will be nvidia
[02:56] <AMAG> I have been happy with nvidia cards since the late-90s Voodoo boards
[02:56] <momo> i guess that i have to install some other software to get xmms to play mp3, i had them workin with totem?
[02:56] <ademan> laserbeak43: heh, unfortunately i'm supposed to go to a lan tonight, i'd like to have 3d support, my nvidia box is PERFECT, but alas, it's been dropped and the mobo is cracked, so i'm limited to my old ati box
[02:56] <Red_Herring> anyone have any experiance with internet over tmoble cell phones?
[02:56] <LjL> momo: i believed xmms would play them by default actually... let me check
[02:56] <mabus> how come every time I try to install a package, it returns an error code citing my kernel, and there not being appropriate tools to regenerate a new mkinitramfs? I don't want a new one, it will mess up my system
[02:57] <FireCat> ademan: Did you install the restricted modules?
[02:57] <LjL> momo: yeah, it provides mp3-decoder, so it should play them
[02:57] <laserbeak43> ademan: that sucks bigtime
[02:57] <FireCat> Fuzzy peoples expeirinces, I haven't got a nvidia to work right yet and have no problem with ati
[02:57] <Kuriyaki> Through Ubuntu how may I copy and paste the files on my hard drive to an external hard drive?
[02:58] <LjL> momo: hm try installing xmms-mad if it's not installed already
[02:58] <ademan> FireCat: yep, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` right?
[02:58] <momo> ok
[02:58] <Asc> internet_: I'll be just a second with this....
[02:59] <Quarupted> does Gaim have a working release for webcam on MSN yet?
[02:59] <FireCat> ademan: Did try it using synaptic?
[02:59] <ademan> FireCat: dunno how it'd be different but yeah, i'm in synaptic right now and i can see the package is installed
[03:00] <Kuriyaki> Through Ubuntu how may I copy and paste the files on my hard drive to an external hard drive?
[03:00] <laserbeak43> omg i can use my password as root on my original account but i cant become root on my son account
[03:00] <laserbeak43> ???
[03:00] <FireCat> Kuriyaki: Ue whichever file manager you prefer
[03:00] <LjL> !adduser | laserbeak43
[03:00] <ubotu> laserbeak43: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo
[03:00] <Asc> internet_: Looks like you've already got the link, but it's at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo under 'enabling the root account'.  Do that, then you should be able to log in as root.
[03:00] <laserbeak43> kuriyaki?
[03:00] <LjL> laserbeak43: only members of "admin" can use sudo
[03:00] <laserbeak43> copy and paste i assume
[03:00] <maziers> Hello guys,i got problem installing ubuntu in my computer,currently using geforce FX 5200,a blank screen popup.
[03:00] <Kuriyaki> I'm using File Browser
[03:00] <CyberCod> laserbeak  you probably have administrative priveleges turned off
[03:01] <laserbeak43> so when i put my password in i cant do it?
[03:01] <Kuriyaki> and I try copying and pasting the files
[03:01] <Kuriyaki> but it doesn't work
[03:01] <laserbeak43> oh i see
[03:01] <laserbeak43> kuriyaki hmm thats weird
[03:01] <FireCat> ademan: How did you configure you xorg.conf, and exactly what ati card do you have
[03:01] <LjL> internet_: horrible idea to log in as root in GNOME. sure way to get hacked into or similar bad surprises.
[03:01] <Kuriyaki> Is it because I need administrative rights to access the files on my hard drive?
[03:01] <melon> hey.. can somebody who's on dapper drake and has a standard version of xmms please tell me what version it is - i've got edgy now 'n the latest version of xmms but want to roll back to the one i had previously..
[03:01] <ademan> FireCat: radeon 9700, and i just edited the driver section to say fglrx
[03:01] <CyberCod> melon one moment
[03:02] <maziers> anyone can answer my question?
[03:02] <CyberCod> melon, its 1.2.10
[03:02] <Fanskapet> aaagh i can't get my ALT key to work in ubuntu :(
[03:02] <FireCat> ademan: Do you still have your original xorg.conf?
[03:02] <LjL> !info xmms dapper | melon
[03:02] <ubotu> xmms: Versatile X audio player. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.10+cvs20050809-4ubuntu5 (dapper), package size 1029 kB, installed size 7256 kB
[03:02] <Asc> internet_: He speaks truth, but hey, if you want to....
[03:02] <ademan> FireCat: no i didn't back it up but that's the only change i made
[03:02] <Fanskapet> anyone have any problem with the keymap ?
[03:03] <melon> thanks
[03:03] <Fanskapet> using newly installed edgy
[03:03] <FireCat> ademan: ok, that should be ok. Make a quick backup of it
[03:03] <ademan> k
[03:03] <dredhammer> hello folks i have a potential ubuntu convert but the setup he wants is something i never had to worry about
[03:03] <melon> although - that's the version i'm on now.. 'n it's definitely not the same.. so i'll just roll back one version at a time until i find the one i had
[03:03] <ademan> FireCat: done
[03:03] <Kuriyaki> How may I copy and paste the files from my hard drive using the Ubuntu boot cd and transfer them to an external hard drive
[03:04] <rick_> server irc.quakenet.org
[03:04] <dredhammer> he wants a supplimentary drive in case he runs out of space in the his home partition is such a thing possible?
[03:04] <ademan> Kuriyaki: you need to mount your external hard drive
[03:04] <internet_> Asc,thaks  body let me read the hing
[03:04] <Kuriyaki> How would I mount it?
[03:04] <LjL> Kuriyaki: either set the drives' permissions so that your user can read/write it all, or use "gksudo nautilus" to launch a root filebrowser
[03:04] <FireCat> ademan: type aticonfig, you may want to pipe this to an output file
[03:04] <cchance> This is really startng to tick me off bad. I have tried 10 different ways now and none of them work! Can some one please help me to set up my internet connection to share with the rest of my nertwork?
[03:04] <LjL> Kuriyaki: sudo mount /dev/drivename /media/somedirectory
[03:04] <LjL> !mount
[03:04] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[03:05] <FireCat> cchance: You try firestarter?
[03:05] <cchance> fireCat, that has been advertised to me so many times
[03:05] <cchance> and yes
[03:05] <ademan> FireCat: yeah that's a lot of output, when i did sudo aticonfig --initial it said nothing to be done (i assume that means it edits the driver to fglrx)
[03:05] <LjL> FireCat: yes, but he's getting problems with dhcpd apparently
[03:05] <cchance> ljl, id rather not use dhcp if i dont have to
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> With the help of someone previously I typed these commands into the terminal
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> mkdir ~/windos
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/windows
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> sudo ls ~/windows
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> sudo nautilus --no-desktop
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> To view my files
[03:06] <LjL> !paste
[03:06] <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)
[03:06] <FireCat> su - root
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> but apparently I have no administrative rights to them
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> So I can't copy and paste them
[03:06] <LjL> Kuriyaki: "gksudo nautilus" is a much better idea than "sudo nautilus". anyway, *only* the nautilus window(s) that were launched that way will have root privileges
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> Because my Windows crashed for some reason
[03:06] <train> anyone know of a good complete guide to installing all the video drivers
[03:06] <CyberCod> kuriyaki    try Alt+F2, then enter gksudo nautilus
[03:06] <Kuriyaki> I'll try
[03:07] <CyberCod> that will give you root nautilus
[03:07] <LjL> Ubotu, tell train about ati | train, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:07] <cchance> ljl, ive tried firestarter with regular mode with out the DHCP and to just use static ips but it dont work so i dont think firestarter works at all
[03:07] <FireCat> ademan: look in the output file and see if you have glx in there
[03:08] <Render> hey, does anyone know why the k/ubuntu live CDs only work if WinXP is not installed?
[03:08] <ademan> FireCat: the output from aticonfig? or a new Xorg?
[03:08] <FireCat> the new xorg
[03:08] <ademan> Render: hrm? it works fine for me
[03:08] <Kuriyaki> It didn't work either
[03:08] <ademan> FireCat: under the "Load" section?
[03:08] <Kuriyaki> when I typed in the gksudo nautilus it upened another file browser but apparently it doesn't let me copy and paste either
[03:09] <FireCat> Modele section in load
[03:09] <mon^rch> anyone help me get doom3 going?
[03:09] <riotkittie> Render: errr...
[03:09] <Render> I tried both kubuntu and ubuntu live cds and they both freeze at the splash loading screens.
[03:09] <riotkittie> Render: is your BIOS set to boot from the CD ?
[03:09] <CyberCod> kuriyaki, you must not have write permission to the place you're pasting to
[03:09] <ademan> FireCat: yep glx is in there, you want a paste of my Xorg?
[03:09] <riotkittie> oh nm
[03:09] <Render> then i deleted all partitions and it worked fine
[03:09] <Asc> Is there any way to get a program to connect to multiple X displays?
[03:09] <dredhammer> is it possible to have another harddrive only for storage when installing ubuntu?
[03:09] <Kuriyaki> I have access to the external hard drive
[03:09] <CyberCod> kuriyaki, what is the filesystem on the partitions in question?
[03:09] <cchanc1> ;(
[03:10] <Kuriyaki> FileSystem? What do you mean...OS? Windows XP
[03:10] <FireCat> ademan, no, did you update serverlayout to use the new devices that you added?
[03:10] <riotkittie> Render: completely frozen, hard lock up ?
[03:10] <CyberCod> i mean is it NTFS, or EXT2 or EXT3 or FAT32?
[03:10] <LjL> cchance, this is the kind of thing i use to share my internet - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3907/
[03:10] <LjL> cchanc1: ^
[03:10] <Render> you know the splash screen, after you choose to 'start or install' from the k/ubuntu boot menus?
[03:10] <ademan> FireCat: no, what devices though? (sorry, i think i missed something)
[03:10] <Kuriyaki> ntfs
[03:11] <riotkittie> yes. i know the splash screen.
[03:11] <CyberCod> thats why
[03:11] <Render> with the bouncing load bar? the bouncing load bar stops bouncing and all disk activity stops
[03:11] <CyberCod> !ntfs | kuriyaki
[03:11] <ubotu> kuriyaki: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:11] <mon^rch> ntfs-3g rocks
[03:11] <riotkittie> Render: was your keyboard responsive?
[03:11] <FireCat> ademan: What does your Screen say in Serverlayout
[03:11] <Kuriyaki> So how may I copy and paste those files? I cannot access Windows...it crashed after Ubuntu did some partitioning
[03:11] <Render> um, nope
[03:11] <shwag> i dont know what changed, but i got the latest apt-get upgrade stuff and all my gnome stuff is way faster now. Especially evolution.
[03:12] <Render> i dont think so
[03:12] <cchanc1> ljl, i hope that works
[03:12] <cchanc1> testing
[03:12] <dredhammer> is it possible to have another harddrive only for storage when installing ubuntu? i mean you seperate both home and root on one harddrive and then use another one for only storage
[03:12] <dredhammer> how would you set that up?
[03:12] <Mazus> can anyone help me with this vlc error?
[03:12] <LjL> cchanc1: note that the "ifconfig ... up" line is only a hackish way to bring up the network card. a much better way is to just edit /etc/network/interfaces and configure it there
[03:13] <CyberCod> Kuriyaki, is there important files right now on the external drive?
[03:13] <Kuriyaki> I borrowed it
[03:13] <Kuriyaki> So I don't really want to delete anything they have
[03:13] <LjL> cchanc1: also, those commands needs to be run at every boot - or you could use iptables-save and iptables-restore i suppose. see !iptables for that. otherwise just put them in /etc/rc.local, though that's still hackish
[03:13] <CyberCod> ok,  You'll need to get ntfs-3g installed in order to write to it
[03:14] <Kuriyaki> How may I install that?
[03:14] <train> anyone know of a good complete guide to installing all the video drivers
[03:14] <HelpWantedMP3> Hey everyone NEED help here and its driving me crazy wats the easyest way for me to get mp3 playback

[03:15] <Kuriyaki> Do I need to install Fuse?
[03:15] <dredhammer> yes
[03:15] <ademan> FireCat: I'm there
[03:15] <LjL> ryanakca, "enough"... it surely won't fill up during install
[03:15] <FireCat> ademan: go to Section Screen that has the ideentifier "Default Screen" dsorry
[03:15] <DrBanzai> Is there a libSDL-2.0 for Ubuntu?
[03:15] <momo> does xmms come with equalizer presets or do i have to set them?
[03:15] <HelpWantedMP3> i get that on the internet is there a way i can listen to them? I ryanakca
[03:15] <LjL> ryanakca: on my desktop system, i've got like 5gb filled in /, with only /home being on another partition
[03:15] <momo> or download them
[03:15] <dredhammer> is it possible to have another harddrive only for storage when installing ubuntu? i mean you seperate both home and root on one harddrive and then use another one for only storage
[03:15] <cchanc1> ljl, they dont work... :'( i dont know what im dong wrong. I really need some one to walk me through.
[03:15] <ademan> FireCat: knew what you meant :-)
[03:15] <dredhammer> is it possible to have another harddrive only for storage when installing ubuntu?
[03:15] <FireCat> Look at the device there, see if it matches the device that uses the fglrx driver
[03:16] <LjL> cchanc1, is the other computer a linux or windows computer?
[03:16] <ryanakca> LjL: no... just wondering... I'm only going to use it for my blog
[03:16] <ademan> FireCat: first glance it does, gimme a second
[03:16] <cchanc1> ljl, windows
[03:16] <dredhammer> is it possible to have another harddrive only for storage when installing ubuntu? how would you set that up?
[03:16] <FireCat> Look carefully, my didn't do it by default
[03:16] <ademan> FireCat: yeah they're identical
[03:16] <momo> dredhammer: i am wanting to do that too..!
[03:16] <LjL> cchanc1: type "ipconfig" on the windows machine, and make sure it shows 192.168.0.2 as its address, and 192.168.0.1 as the gateway. if you do "ping 192.168.0.1", does it succeed?
[03:17] <_Andrew> dredhammer, You'd probably do it after an install and partition it like in windows
[03:17] <cchanc1> ljl, ive been through that and yes a ping to 192.168.0.1 does succedd.     WAIT
[03:17] <cchanc1> i think i know the problem
[03:17] <LjL> cchanc1: what about a "ping 209.85.135.104" ?
[03:17] <cchanc1> how do i find my DNS address
[03:17] <LjL> cchanc1: (that's google)
[03:17] <LjL> cchanc1: as expected.
[03:17] <FireCat> ademan: Do you have a BusID in the device for fglrx?
[03:17] <LjL> cchanc1: your ISP gives you one, check /etc/resolv.conf in your Ubuntu machine
[03:17] <dredhammer> so it is possible to latter have another harddrive only for storage then formatted useing gparted?
[03:17] <cchanc1> thanks
[03:18] <ademan> FireCat: yeah, 1:0:0
[03:18] <ademan> er rather PCI:1:0:0
[03:18] <dredhammer> no need to define home and root etc?
[03:18] <FireCat> Try commenting it out ans restart X
[03:18] <_Andrew> Sure why not
[03:18] <LjL> cchanc1: anyway try "http://209.85.135.104" in a browser on the window machine, if that works, it's really just a missing DNS
[03:18] <ademan> FireCat: restart comp for good measure? or will restarting X be sufficient?
[03:18] <stratusfear> hey wuttup buddy?
[03:18] <FireCat> ademan: Just restart X
[03:19] <FireCat> Ctl-Alt-Backtab from gdm should do it
[03:20] <ademan> FireCat: fglrxinfo still says mesa
[03:20] <ademan> FireCat: if it matters my client glx vendor string is "ATI"  (in glxinfo)

[03:21] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:21] <LjL> !offtopic | dimeo
[03:21] <ubotu> dimeo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:21] <stratusfear> hey
[03:21] <DrBanzai> Is there a libSDL-2.0 for Ubuntu?
[03:21] <FireCat> ademan:  glxinfo | grep -i "direct"
[03:21] <mon^rch> can someone help me edit my fstab to add/change the label of a drive...
[03:22] <LjL> DrBanzai: not in the repositories
[03:22] <LjL> mon^rch: the "label"?
[03:22] <DrBanzai> LjL, Thanks
[03:22] <ademan> FireCat: "direct rendering: No"
[03:22] <mon^rch> yeah... right now it shows up as sda1
[03:22] <zengolfer> howdy all
[03:22] <mon^rch> on my desktop I mean
[03:22] <FireCat> ademan: go to /var/log
[03:22] <ademan> k
[03:23] <zengolfer> why doesn't ubuntu provide an smp kernel for x86?
[03:23] <ademan> i'm there
[03:23] <FireCat> look in Xorg.0.log for glx
[03:23] <LjL> mon^rch, well, you can change the mountpoint - that's the second column in fstab, i.e. /media/whatever. and you need to create the corresponding directory in /media. but the drive will still be sda1 really.
[03:23] <cchanc1> ljl, my hunch was false
[03:23] <_Andrew> Anyone know where to go to recommend games to be place in the Add/Remove program?
[03:23] <LjL> mon^rch: actually, sda1 is a partition, but anyway. not sure what the icon will show
[03:24] <cchanc1> ljl, although that was what it needed in a way. It doesnt just stal out any more
[03:24] <mon^rch> is there a way I can rename the icon on the desktop?
[03:24] <LjL> cchanc1: so which parts work?
[03:24] <LjL> mon^rch: dunno, i'm on KDE
[03:24] <Kuriyaki> I downloaded Fuse
[03:24] <mon^rch> ok
[03:24] <Kuriyaki> how do I install it?
[03:24] <FireCat> ademan:look in Xorg.0.log for glx
[03:25] <cchanc1> ljl, just computer to compter, no outside connection except on this one.
[03:25] <LjL> !fuse
[03:25] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[03:25] <Kuriyaki> Hmm then what is the safest way for me to transfer my files?
[03:25] <LjL> cchanc1: ok, on Ubuntu did you type exactly the commands that i pastebinned, or something slightly different?
[03:25] <momo> how would i go about installing a tar.gz file?
[03:25] <cchanc1> ljl, firestarter is on, this may be the cause hold on for 2 minutes
[03:26] <dasien> does anyone have experience in wireless networking and WEP on ubuntu?
[03:26] <momo> i just did.!!! i got it workign.. I am so proud of myself
[03:26] <LjL> cchanc1: maybe. perhaps close it and do a "sudo iptables --flush" to remove any spurious rules it might have created
[03:26] <LjL> cchanc1: oh by the way - i neglected to say that, but all the commands i pasted need to be run as *root*
[03:26] <ademan> FireCat: http://rafb.net/p/6LsNbx95.html
[03:27] <kitche> !compile|momo
[03:27] <ubotu> momo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:27] <_Andrew> installing or extracting? tar.gz is like a zip file
[03:27] <momo> dasien:what if your problem?
[03:27] <ademan> FireCat: sorry, the first portion is grep "EE" Xorg.0.log
[03:27] <Kuriyaki> What is the safest way for me to transfer files from my NTFS?
[03:28] <LjL> Kuriyaki: *from*? just transfer them, reading from NTFS is safe.
[03:28] <dasien> momo: i have wireless card which i can see in iwconfig, and an access point iwconfig also sees, but i am getting rx crypt packets
[03:28] <zengolfer> Kuriyaki: mount it ro, then copy
[03:28] <FireCat> ademan: Have you tried to uninstall the restricted modules, reboot and reinstall them?
[03:28] <dasien> i have added the wep key to my iwconfig, but it will not connect!
[03:28] <LjL> Kuriyaki: no need to use FUSE or anything to *read* from NTFS
[03:28] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Kuriyaki about ntfs | Kuriyaki, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:28] <ademan> FireCat: nope, but i could try
[03:28] <Kuriyaki> I'm not able to copy and paste my files into an external hard drive
[03:29] <zengolfer> Kuriyaki: use an xterm and cp the files
[03:29] <LjL> Kuriyaki: ok, is the *destination* drive NTFS or ext3?
[03:29] <mon^rch> anyone know how to fix screwed up fonts in games when using XGL ???
[03:29] <FireCat> ademan: change your fglrx to a radeon in the xorg before you do it
[03:29] <Flannel> mon^rch: #ubuntu-xgl for XGL support, thanks
[03:29] <cchanc1> ljl, im really getting frusterated with this. Its not firestater (which im removing soon) and its not the name server. I dont know what it is
[03:29] <LjL> Flannel: #ubuntu-effects
[03:29] <Kuriyaki> The destination is external
[03:29] <Flannel> LjL: er, what?
[03:29] <LjL> Flannel: try and see
[03:29] <Kuriyaki> I just downloaded some things to the external device to see if it was working and it is
[03:29] <Flannel> LjL: When did that change?
[03:30] <LjL> Kuriyaki: i asked what *filesystem* it is - NTFS, FAT, ext3, or what?
[03:30] <FireCat> ademan: You know how to get a console to fix it if it dies?
[03:30] <LjL> Flannel: earlier today
[03:30] <Kuriyaki> NTFS
[03:30] <ademan> FireCat: did it several times for my NVIDIA card so yes :-)
[03:30] <Kuriyaki> I want from my NTFS -> External Hard Drive
[03:30] <LjL> Kuriyaki: so you don't want to transfer *from* NTFS, but *to* NTFS. yes in that case you need FUSE. and to be clear.
[03:30] <ademan> i'm a little TOO comfortable in vim nowadays
[03:30] <LjL> Flannel: no biggie anyway, you get redirected to -effects if you join -xgl
[03:30] <_Andrew> cchanc1: Don't get too worked up. Took me two months to figure out how to connect to the internet through my mobile
[03:30] <ravalox> I'm trying to remember, how do you execute two commands from the same console line?
[03:31] <Flannel> ravalox: ; or && if you want the second to depend on success of the first
[03:31] <Kuriyaki> I want to transfer my files from NTFS to the External Device
[03:31] <cchanc1> _Andrew, ive done thi before its just that i have to reformat and it wiped it all and i dont remember i guess im tired, didint go to bed untill 4 last night
[03:31] <LjL> Kuriyaki: the external device being....  NTFS? or not?
[03:31] <ubuntuaion> yo
[03:32] <dasien> anyone have experience with wireless, wep, and ubuntu?
[03:32] <LjL> Kuriyaki: no matter how external a device is, it still has a filesystem.
[03:32] <Kuriyaki> Not
[03:32] <ubuntuaion> i need help with subtitles for rmvb files
[03:32] <OzoneCo> LjL: <-----applauding patience  :)
[03:32] <moonlite> does anyone know where i can find the gpg-key for ubuntu backports?
[03:32] <LjL> OzoneCo: ;)
[03:32] <LjL> Kuriyaki: then if not NTFS, what?
[03:33] <davidohagan> Hi, the alternate CD stalls loading 'trm290' while detecting my CD drives,(yes, I've verified my CD since thats usually the first question asked) what can I do to install ubuntu?
[03:33] <LjL> Ubotu, tell moonlite about source-o-matic | moonlite, see the private message from Ubotu
[03:33] <cchanc1> ljl, got any other tricks up your sleeves?
[03:33] <LjL> moonlite: i think the key's listed there
[03:33] <OzoneCo> ip address, subnet mask, gateway address, dns .,,,,.....all the same on all the boxes with the exception of the ip itself
[03:33] <LjL> cchanc1: you did the iptables --flush and then re-issued those commands again?
[03:33] <Kuriyaki> I right-click properties and Volume says External
[03:33] <dasien> anyone have experience with wireless, wep, and ubuntu?
[03:33] <_Andrew> dasien: I think you'd get help quicker if you just asked your question.
[03:33] <Kuriyaki> Is it that?
[03:33] <OzoneCo> specially on the windoze
[03:34] <OzoneCo> dasien asked
[03:34] <ImsDle> can someone tell me that cool 3d window switch and how to load it?
[03:34] <dasien> _andrew, fair enough:  ok i have a wireless card that i can see my access point with, but the two will not communicat.  i keep getting rx invalid crypt packets
[03:35] <OzoneCo> i have never tried to make my wireless run in ubuntu
[03:35] <dasien> i have added the wep key to my iwconfig
[03:35] <lskd-255> ImsDle, beryl?
[03:35] <Kuriyaki> Cannot write to `diskmounter' (No space left on device). <-- I receive this error when trying to download this
[03:35] <dasien> btw i am not using ndiswrapper
[03:35] <ImsDle> aarrr fanks thats it
[03:35] <lskd-255> you're welcomed to visit #Beryl
[03:35] <cchanc1> ljl, just did them
[03:35] <cchanc1> ljl, test?
[03:35] <ImsDle> how do you install it
[03:36] <LjL> Kuriyaki: ok type "mount" instead, and see what it says - whether "ext3", "vfat" or something else
[03:36] <ubuntuaion> i need help with subtitles for rmvb files
[03:36] <majortom> can someones help me, for some reason my entire home folder is readonly, how do i change it back
[03:36] <LjL> cchanc1: yeah
[03:36] <ipfw> anyone in here have -> ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 graphics ?
[03:36] <trev_> can anyone explain to me how to kill a wine program with the console?
[03:36] <lskd-255> they have all the info there
[03:36] <LjL> trev_: same as with other programs. "ps aux | grep wine", and "kill -s 9 what-you-have-found"
[03:36] <trev_> thx
[03:37] <Kuriyaki> on /media/EXTERNAL type vfat
[03:37] <LjL> majortom: no idea as for the reason, but "sudo chown -R yourself:yourself /home/folder" should fix that i s'pose
[03:37] <OzoneCo> xp box here, power failed, box boots to just before login, any logs i can read to see where it is hanging...i realize this is ubuntu channel...
[03:37] <Kuriyaki> It says type vfat
[03:38] <_Andrew> dasien, sorry nothing in my fluffy brain is comming out. Just keep asking and i'm sure someone will know
[03:38] <kitche> OzoneCo: ask in #windows
[03:38] <OzoneCo> i did...
[03:38] <LjL> Kuriyaki: alright, so it's FAT, and FAT can be written to safely, so you don't need FUSE. use the console: if you have the NTFS drive mounted, type "sudo cp -a /place/where/ntfs/is/mounted/* /media/EXTERNAL"
[03:38] <majortom> LjL: nope..
[03:38] <OzoneCo> they too busy
[03:38] <OzoneCo> figure more than just i run both
[03:38] <Kuriyaki> What would that command do?
[03:39] <Kuriyaki> I don't want to delete or alter the files on the drive
[03:39] <LjL> OzoneCo: well, it's still offtopic for here. anyway, there are logs, but i doubt you can check them if you can't get into the GUI. perhaps with a Windows install CD, booting into console mode.
[03:39] <Flannel> OzoneCo: this is not a #ubuntu-we-support-everything channel, we don't know what might be wrong with windows, as... that's not something we deal with regularly
[03:39] <Kuriyaki> sudo cp -a /dev/sda1* /media/EXTERNAL ?
[03:39] <Kuriyaki> copy and paste...
[03:39] <OzoneCo> kkkk
[03:40] <LjL> Kuriyaki: it will copy all files and directories from the NTFS drive right into the external drive.  so, it will certainly change the contents of the external drive, but not of the NTFS drive
[03:40] <LjL> Kuriyaki: no
[03:40] <LjL> Kuriyaki: /dev/sda1 is the device, not the place it's mounted. you need to give the place it's mounted
[03:40] <LjL> Kuriyaki: do this
[03:40] <riotkittie> err
[03:40] <Indref> Who's up for a super geeky question.
[03:41] <LjL> Kuriyaki:   sudo mkdir /media/ntfsdrive   ;   sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ntfsdrive    ;    cp -a /media/ntfsdrive/* /media/EXTERNAL/
[03:41] <Indref> Involving regex
[03:41] <LjL> !ask
[03:41] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:41] <Indref> What is a regex for */food/src/*
[03:41] <Kuriyaki> Ok I'll try that right now
[03:42] <LjL> Indref: meaning?
[03:42] <Indref> Keep in mind, I had no idea what rege was until five minutes ago.
[03:42] <LjL> Indref: anything followed by  /food/src/  followed by anything?
[03:42] <Indref> LjL, Exactly.
[03:42] <LjL> Indref: ".*/food/src/.*"
[03:42] <_Andrew> uhh... looks like it matches anything with /food/src/ in it
[03:42] <_Andrew> * == all
[03:42] <Indref> LjL, Let me try, just a sec..
[03:42] <ravalox> Hey, I'm trying to execute two commands from the same console line, they need to run simultaneously
[03:43] <_Andrew> so anything here/food/src/ anything here
[03:43] <Jordan_U> ravalox: <command one > & < command 2 >
[03:43] <Flannel> _Andrew: /food/src/ will work.  Because it'll match the internals, and still make it work.
[03:43] <juanchito2006> Hello, I need to know which is the best application for coping data from NTFS partitions
[03:44] <_Andrew> ok
[03:44] <juanchito2006> !ntfs
[03:44] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:44] <Flannel> juanchito2006: `cp` or, in nautilus,  "click and drag"
[03:44] <Indref> That didn't work :[
[03:44] <Jordan_U> juanchito2006: Just mount it and copy the files, no extra applications needed
[03:44] <Flannel> Indref: #ubuntu-offtopic, we'll talk more.
[03:44] <Indref> RegEx is insanely hard.
[03:44] <DrBanzai> LjL, Do you have a link for libSDL-2.0, please?
[03:45] <OzoneCo> LjL is gone
[03:46] <juanchito2006> thanks!
[03:46] <Toma-> !herd3
[03:46] <ubotu> To download Feisty Fawn Herd 3, visit http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-3/ - read the release notes at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/herd3, and consider doing the tests at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing
[03:47] <DrBanzai> Oh...thanks OzoneCo
[03:47] <mitch_> I am trying to mount a windows disc so I can retrieve the info off of it. I tried mkdir /mnt/win and I got the permission denied response.
[03:47] <FireCat> How is Feisty coming along? Fairly stable yet?
[03:48] <kitche> mitch_: sudo mkdir /media/win
[03:48] <kitche> FireCat: ask in #ubuntu
[03:48] <kitche> FireCat: ask in #ubuntu+1*
[03:48] <Flannel> FireCat: it's still alpha.
[03:48] <xixor> so, I am installing ubuntu for the first time, 6.10, but it seems to take a very long time.  After my 3rd try, it finally got to 62% but then stopped responding.  Could it be faulty installation media (this is the second time I have tried it), problem with hardware?  Also, is there a way I can mount the installation iso and install from my hard drive?
[03:48] <mitch_> OK
[03:48] <Toma-> What kernel version is in feisty?
[03:49] <FireCat> join #ubuntu+1
[03:49] <Jordan_U> xixor: How much RAM do you have?
[03:49] <Toma-> :>
[03:49] <mitch_> I guess if you then enter your password and it brings you back to the comand promt it worked??
[03:49] <Jordan_U> mitch_: Yup
[03:49] <Asc> Does feisty have the drive encryption features from Debian etch?
[03:50] <mitch_> Thanks. I will try to get the rest. I will probably be back...
[03:50] <xixor> Jordan_U: 2 gigs
[03:51] <Jordan_U> xixor: That is obviously more than enough :) Have you tried the alternate install CD?
[03:51] <Asc> xixor - I usually recommend using the alternate install CD because it breaks less.
[03:52] <mitch_> It say only root can do the next step. How do I log in as root. (Knows what root means and how I can break stuff)
[03:52] <stratusfear> mitch_  type su
[03:52] <Asc> mitch_: use 'sudo [command] '
[03:53] <Flannel> mitch_: ubuntu doesn't use root, we use sudo instead.
[03:53] <Flannel> !sudo | mitch_
[03:53] <ubotu> mitch_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:53] <mitch_> Thanks.
[03:53] <xixor> Jordan_U: what is the alternative install CD?  I've not heard of it
[03:53] <tonyyarusso> !alternate | xixor
[03:53] <juanchito2006> I want to errase data from a USB drive but it says it's read-only. What do I do?
[03:53] <ubotu> xixor: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[03:53] <mitch_> I get it. I should have asked when Kitche added it to my first command
[03:53] <codi> how can i remove items from my applications menu?
[03:53] <beholder> Anyone know a good way to get Slony (Postgres Replication system) working on Ubuntu besides compiling?
[03:54] <xixor> Jordan_U: is it available for download on ubuntu.com?
[03:54] <_Andrew> xixor: If you can't get 6.10 edgy working you could try installing Dapper Dake
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> !info slony1-bin
[03:55] <ubotu> slony1-bin: replication system for PostgreSQL. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.5-2 (edgy), package size 117 kB, installed size 560 kB
[03:55] <biglinux> eai
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> beholder: ^^ ?
[03:55] <_Andrew> Dapper is a long term support release
[03:55] <mitch_> How do I find the special device name of a Hard Disc I haven't Mounted yet?
[03:55] <xixor> _Andrew, : is that 6.05?
[03:55] <Asc> xixor: you don't really have to be a leet haxxor or anything to use the alternate install cd, it's just a little less newbie-friendly
[03:55] <Flannel> xixor: 6.06, but yes. that's dapper
[03:55] <biglinux> tem alguem que fala porugues
[03:55] <mitch_> i.e. Hda1 doesn't exist
[03:55] <Flannel> xixor: alternate CD is just a textmode GUI instead of a real GUI
[03:56] <Flannel> !pt | biglinux
[03:56] <ubotu> biglinux: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:56] <Teknos> Can someone help me, I can't even get hello world.c to compile with gcc
[03:56] <beholder> ubotu: Hmm, that's not a very recent version.
[03:56] <xixor> ah, found it, downloading it now, going to give it a shot
[03:56] <codi> anyone know how to remove items from my start menu
[03:56] <xixor> The normal installation CD doesn't have an option to do a text-mode only install?
[03:56] <momo> I tried to uninstall totem through synaptic. but i it tells me that i have to uninstall the ubuntu desktop. Is there a way of taking out totem and leaving the dektop
[03:56] <tonyyarusso> codi: System > Preferences > Menu layout
[03:56] <kitche> Teknos: did you install build-essential
[03:56] <Flannel> xixor: nope, it's just a liveCD/installer
[03:56] <codi> sorry i called it start menu, but i figured it would be a way to illicit some sort of response
[03:56] <codi> thanks!
[03:57] <Teknos> just a normal install
[03:57] <xixor> Flannel: what does the "Live" in the title of the CD mean?  it downloads the latest packages from the web?
[03:57] <Teknos> when i installed ubuntu the other day
[03:57] <Flannel> xixor: no, that it boots a real OS, for you to play with.
[03:57] <kitche> Teknos: ok install build-essentials need that to compile anything
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> codi: hehe.  "Applications Menu" would be more appropriate in the future, but yeah, we know what you mean
[03:57] <jsizzle> live cd's can run linux by booting from cd
[03:57] <xixor> Flannel: ahh, ok
[03:57] <mitch_> How do I find the special device name of a Hard Disc I haven't Mounted yet?
[03:57] <Flannel> xixor: the liveCD actually doesn't download the latest packages, the alternate CD will, actually.
[03:57] <codi> yah, i tried that the first time, but got no response
[03:57] <codi> it worked perfectly, thanks again
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> kitche, Teknos: build-essential without the s on the end I think
[03:57] <Jordan_U> !ubuntu-desktop | momo
[03:57] <ubotu> momo: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[03:58] <codi> second question, anyone know anything about kompozer, and nvu replacement?
[03:58] <Render> sooo, the live cds for k/ubuntu keep locking up at the splash screen. why?
[03:58] <Flannel> Render: did you verify the CD?
[03:58] <Render> yep
[03:58] <kitche> tonyyarusso: yeah no s :(
[03:58] <_Andrew> Render, which version?
[03:58] <Kuriyaki> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cp -a /dev/sda1* /media/EXTERNAL
[03:58] <Kuriyaki> cp: cannot create special file `/media/EXTERNAL/sda1': Permission denied
[03:59] <Render> kubuntu 6.10 and ubuntu 6.10
[03:59] <juanchito2006> !ntfs
[03:59] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:59] <Teknos> ok installing now, thank you
[03:59] <kitche> Kuriyaki: you have to mount the drive with sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/EXTERNAL
[03:59] <TheLance> guys is there a way to reinstall ubuntu without deleting hte home folder or desktop items?
[04:00] <TheLance> not to mention a way to do it from the recovery single users mode
[04:00] <mitch_> What is the difference between sda1 and hda1
[04:00] <Kuriyaki> mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /media/EXTERNAL busy
[04:00] <Kuriyaki> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/EXTERNAL
[04:00] <Render> anyone?  =[
[04:00] <kitche> mitch_: hda1 is ide drive and sda1 is either usb drive or a scsi drive or SATA drive
[04:00] <RxDx> TheLance, many users make 2 diff partitions.. one in / and other in /home.. them when u reinstall you wont loose your personal files
[04:00] <mitch_> lol
[04:01] <Jordan_U> TheLance: other than putting /home on another partition I don't think so.
[04:01] <mitch_> Thats why it wouldn't mount
[04:01] <TheLance> well the problem is
[04:01] <TheLance>  i can't even log into gnome
[04:01] <momo> thanks. also i wanted to install a add-on for xmms is the avi.. i want ti to play avi files so i got a tar.gz file which i unpacked. and i have a folder now with all the files inside. there is a install-sh ...shell script.. i assume i run that script to install the add-on
[04:01] <TheLance> i get stuck at this screen
[04:01] <TheLance> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2094774#post2094774
[04:01] <TheLance> so i can't create a new partition without a reformat
[04:02] <wounded> momo: There is an xmms thing that lets you play videos from xmms with mplayer i think.
[04:02] <Render> locking up at live cd splash screen? anyone?
[04:02] <david> hi
[04:02] <TheLance> i'm screwed aint i?
[04:02] <FireCat> render: try noapic or noacpi
[04:02] <Jordan_U> Render: Try the alternate install CD, never failed me before :)
[04:03] <Render> how do i do that
[04:03] <Render> the first one
[04:03] <FireCat> put it on the end of the kernel line you are gooting
[04:03] <FireCat> booting
[04:03] <Jordan_U> TheLance: No, you can just back up your /home and re-install.
[04:03] <_David-> I can't get the ethernet to work on my machine, it worked before, but now.. nothing. it's plugged into the switch, but the light on the switch doesn't even light up
[04:03] <TheLance> how do i do that?
[04:04] <TheLance> cause i'm not even able to log into gnome
[04:04] <Render> er, im new to linux.. im just pressing the glowing orange buttons  =x
[04:04] <TheLance> i'm stuck in that screen.
[04:04] <TheLance> my younger sister messed it up last night
[04:04] <Jordan_U> TheLance: Back it up from the LiveCD
[04:04] <Kuriyaki> May someone help me transferring my files...?
[04:04] <TheLance> whats the command for that?
[04:04] <tonyyarusso> Kuriyaki: explain your situation please?
[04:04] <mztriz> I can only connect to the internet with dhclient, and I didn't mind doing that but  now, it keeps connecting my my neighbours network.. so I need help trying to configure this thing..
[04:04] <Jordan_U> TheLance: And remember to give your sis a limited account :)
[04:04] <Render> so how do i put it onto the kernel line?
[04:04] <dauoalagio> hello even after looking at ubuntu's restricted format page, i still couldn't get AVI's to play.  any ideas?
[04:04] <MikeyMike> :)
[04:05] <TheLance> well it was done because she put a floppy in
[04:05] <TheLance> and deleted it
[04:05] <TheLance> and apparently it went crazy
[04:05] <Elly> hey guys...I'm having problems using ndiswrapper, specifically it complains of a version mismatch
[04:05] <kitche> dauoalagio: depends AVI is just a container it can be any format
[04:05] <mitch_> How do I find the special device name of a Hard Disc I haven't Mounted yet? Not sure what part to change to fix this message??
[04:06] <TheLance> now whats the exact command to backup the home folder?
[04:06] <mitch_> whoops...
[04:06] <Kuriyaki> tonyyarusso: LjL: Kuriyaki:   sudo mkdir /media/ntfsdrive   ;   sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ntfsdrive    ;    cp -a /media/ntfsdrive/* /media/EXTERNAL/
[04:06] <Kuriyaki> I tried doing what LjL tried helping me do
[04:06] <Jordan_U> dauoalagio: Try VLC
[04:06] <Kuriyaki> but I can't it to work...
[04:06] <dauoalagio> kitche, i don't know if mp3 or anything else works.  but how can i get AVI's to work.  multiple AVI's don't work
[04:06] <TheLance> i'm still a newb at this command line stuff
[04:06] <tonyyarusso> Kuriyaki: what are the errors?
[04:06] <dauoalagio> Jordan_U, is that in the repositories?
[04:07] <Kuriyaki> cp: cannot create special file `/media/EXTERNAL/sda1': Permission denied
[04:07] <tonyyarusso> Kuriyaki: Needs sudo
[04:07] <Jordan_U> TheLance: You don't need to use the command line, the liveCD has a GUI.
[04:07] <tonyyarusso> !sudo | Kuriyaki
[04:07] <ubotu> Kuriyaki: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:07] <TheLance> yeah ok
[04:07] <mitch_> (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
[04:07] <mitch_>        instead of some logical partition inside?)  Sorry copy and paste is different too...lol
[04:07] <Jordan_U> dauoalagio: Yes.
[04:07] <TheLance> but how do i back it up then?
[04:07] <dauoalagio> Jordan_U under what name?
[04:07] <Warbo> Hi, I'm building Dapper's gtk2-engines source for Edgy and using checkinstall to make a package of it, but even when I stick the version number really high APT wants to update to Edgy's stock version, how can I stop it wanting to upgrade (the update manager gets annoying when I don't want to update that package)
[04:07] <M_Cheevy> quick question on Dapper Live Disc installs using dmraid.  When the installer asks me to pick a root partition it only shows the sda devices not the /dev/mapper devices, is that okay?
[04:07] <TheLance> burn a dvd?
[04:08] <TheLance> and i probably cant do that
[04:08] <Jordan_U> dauoalagio: "vlc"
[04:08] <BobSongs> I'm using Dapper Drake on standard PC. When starting Nautlius using 'gksudo' I get this warning: "While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed." I've gotten this under Breezy Badger too. Do any Eft or Fawn users get this too?
[04:08] <TheLance> because i only have one dvd-r drive
[04:08] <dauoalagio> Jordan_U oh i was using "VLC"
[04:08] <KnowledgEngi> hello
[04:08] <Kuriyaki> I'm giving up on this...
[04:08] <M_Cheevy> howdy KE
[04:08] <Warbo> BobSongs: I keep getting that in my terminals, but since nothing bad seems to happen I ignore it
[04:08] <KnowledgEngi> i have problem with the mouse
[04:09] <M_Cheevy> never give up! ;)
[04:09] <KnowledgEngi> i changed 4 mouses
[04:09] <tonyyarusso> BobSongs: first off, why are you starting nautilus with sudo?
[04:09] <KnowledgEngi> and the mouse buttons do not work
[04:09] <Kuriyaki> I've been doing this all afternoon
[04:09] <juanchito2006> !gparted
[04:09] <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
[04:09] <TheLance> now what do i do once i get into the live cd to back it up
[04:09] <TheLance> k
[04:09] <M_Cheevy> KE: sounds like you may have the mouse set up wrong in your X config file
[04:09] <mitch_> I just can't figure out what to call the second harddisc. It say that sda1 is mounted on / which makes me think that that is my first disc. So what do I call the second windows disc to mount it?
[04:10] <kitche> mitch_: probably /dev/sdb1
[04:10] <BobSongs> Warbo: Yeah. Nothing goes wrong. True. Just wondering if I haven't installed something. tonyyarusso: I host my own website using Apache and I move files from time to time graphically.
[04:10] <Jordan_U> BobSongs: that can safely be ignored
[04:10] <BobSongs> Thanks everyone. I just feel like I'm not being good to my PC.
[04:10] <tonyyarusso> BobSongs: eww.  sudoing nautilus can get sketchy, so be careful.
[04:10] <CyberCod> is it possible to use drivers meant for kernel 2.4.xx for 2.6.xx by any means?
[04:10] <M_Cheevy> mitch_: you can change the boot parameters to nosplash verbose to see what it's called when it's recognised
[04:10] <tonyyarusso> no offense, I just don't recommend it
[04:10] <Warbo> tonyyarusso: still, gksudo is better than sudo
[04:11] <overclocker> hi, how could i enable both cores in a core 2 duo?
[04:11] <an0k> !svn
[04:11] <ubotu> svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/
[04:11] <M_Cheevy> Cyber: I wouldn't rely on the mods if I did
[04:11] <J-_> i always gksudo nautilus? =\
[04:11] <TheLance> damn it
[04:11] <BobSongs> tonyyarusso: Understood. But I'm very careful not to do anything silly. It's just a home PC, by the way; if anything goes wrong all the documents are saved and there's no harm done.
[04:11] <TheLance> the live cd doesn't recognize the hd
[04:11] <tonyyarusso> BobSongs: Good :)
[04:11] <robdeman> hey folks.. where is my personal contab file located?
[04:11] <Asc> BobSongs: you can probably chown -r /var/www to your normal user if you want to.
[04:11] <dbglt> what's the battery util for a laptop called?
[04:11] <TheLance> how am i gonna do it without that part
[04:11] <CyberCod> I'm just having a real hard time getting a 56k modem to work
[04:11] <M_Cheevy> TheLance: RAID array?
[04:12] <dbglt> I closed it and can't reopen it :\
[04:12] <J-_> crap, thought this was offtopic lol
[04:12] <momo> why can't i play a video that is stored in my windows box, when i copy it over it works?
[04:12] <TheLance> what do you mean by that?
[04:12] <dbglt> the battery monitor thingo in ubuntu
[04:12] <Asc> CyberCod: internal modem?
[04:12] <BobSongs> tonyyarusso: Besides: I tend to run around with scissors now and then. ;-)
[04:12] <M_Cheevy> Lance: are the drives set up in a raid array?
[04:12] <Kuriyaki> I'm using the Boot CD
[04:12] <TheLance> no
[04:12] <TheLance> just your basic
[04:12] <TheLance> ide
[04:12] <Kuriyaki> so I can't download anything to it
[04:12] <mister_roboto> robdeman: /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[04:12] <M_Cheevy> Lance: okay, there goes that idea...
[04:12] <CyberCod> well, yes and no, i've got two I'm trying to get either to work... apparently they're both winmodems, and the only drivers I can find are for kernel 2.4
[04:12] <overclocker> hi, how could i enable both cores in a core 2 duo?, i just see 1 core
[04:12] <Jordan_U> momo: What are you using to play it?
[04:13] <momo> totem.
[04:13] <TheLance> is there a way i can get it to detect it?
[04:13] <M_Cheevy> Cyber: ah the joys of win modems... it's why I went external for years
[04:13] <kitche> overclocker: you need a smp kernel most likely
[04:13] <momo> wait..no. its movie player\
[04:13] <Jordan_U> overclocker: Install an smp kernel
[04:13] <Alibaba1> hi all
[04:13] <CyberCod> well, I would but lshw returns the serial port as "UNCLAIMED"
[04:13] <M_Cheevy> quick question on Dapper Live Disc installs using dmraid.  When the installer asks me to pick a root partition it only shows the sda devices not the /dev/mapper devices, is that okay?
[04:13] <funnyman3595> I've got a major problem with my GUI.  Gnome seems perfectly responsive, until you actually try to run anything, at which point it responds slowly, if at all.  I can't even get the shutdown dialog to launch.  Ctrl+Alt+F1 (etc.) work (that's how I got here).  I've tried a reboot, but that didn't really help, and Gnome was very slow on startup.  Any suggestions?  (Sorry if I don't respond promptly, I'm multitasking.)
[04:14] <mitch_> Boot Parameters? I am a noob. I have done ok so far. I have installed ubuntu and it is running. I got irc working..now I am trying to recover my music from my old windows system. I will look up the bott parameters thing so I understand what you are saying.
[04:14] <robdeman> mister_ronoto: ehrm w8 this box is Fedora, not Ubuntu... different cronttab locations I guess?

[04:14] <Jordan_U> momo: try using vlc and "open network"
[04:14] <Asc> CyberCod: If you use ndiswrapper, you should be able to use the windows driver.  Never done it myself (because I have an external), but you should be able to find a guide somewhere.
[04:14] <cchanc1> nvm
[04:14] <tonyyarusso> cchanc1: so slow ;)
[04:14] <mister_roboto> robdeman: probably :)    should be under var though, i think
[04:14] <Asc> wasn't he banned>
[04:14] <cchanc1> i know
[04:14] <Warbo> Can anyone help me stop the gtk2-engines package I built, and gave a larger version number than Edgy's, coming up as having a Distribution Upgrade available in the update manager?
[04:14] <overclocker> i have  2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 21:16:35 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:14] <_David-> sorry about that, I fixed it...
[04:14] <M_Cheevy> mitch_: in grub you can edit the boot parameters -- you should see a HOWTO file if you search
[04:14] <BobSongs> Asc, Thanks. I don't mind using the command prompt from time to time to move files into /var/www. But there are a few subfolders under www and I tend to prefer a double-click to remembering folder hierarchy.
[04:14] <CyberCod> ndiswrapper for a modem?  I thought that was just for ethernet
[04:14] <mister_roboto> robdeman: or possibly /etc
[04:14] <M_Cheevy> CyberCod: good old serial modems
[04:15] <robdeman> mister_roboto: ok cool lets check
[04:15] <CyberCod> M_Cheevy  sure would if I can get the serial port to work
[04:15] <M_Cheevy> Cyber:  you should be able to get a serial ide card for dirt cheap these days
[04:15] <cchanc1> Any one got some spare time on their hands they like to use to help me setup sharring. No matter how hard i try i just cant get it
[04:15] <Asc> BobSongs: Yeah, gui's good for drag and drop.  Although I've pretty much stopped using it for anything else.
[04:15] <funnyman3595> It's bad enough that I'm having flashbacks of *looks around shiftily* windows.
[04:15] <Byan> how do I get RAID5 set up?
[04:16] <M_Cheevy> cchanc: whole books are written on samba (windows shares for linux)
[04:16] <Asc> CyberCod: I think ndiswrapper does winmodems and wireless.  Hadn't heard about ethernet until now.
[04:16] <CyberCod> Its a charity system anyway for some friends
[04:16] <CyberCod> I just want to get it online so I can get it out of my house
[04:16] <mitch_> M_Cheevy, thanks. I got the second disc mounted. Now it says that Root owns it. I can't change permissions. I assume I would use a sudo command to change the permissions from root to user?
[04:16] <cchanc1> M_Cheevy, all i want to do is allow my network to use my internet connection, nothing to do with samba
[04:17] <M_Cheevy> Byan: depends on the raid system.  There is a good FakeRaidHowTo on ubuntuwiki
[04:17] <dbglt> I used to be able to scale my processors (power them down) with the power management function, but now that function is greyed out
[04:17] <dbglt> any ideas what has changed?
[04:17] <kitche> Asc: winmodems usually work in Linux at least now you might find a few that don't, but anywyas ndiswrapper is for wireless
[04:17] <M_Cheevy> mitch_: yes, or you can change it using parameters in /etc/fstab
[04:17] <BobSongs> Asc, ;-) Command-line's okay. I've used it since DOS 3.2, long before I'd ever HEARD of Windows.
[04:17] <TheLance> how do i getthe livecd to detect my hd?
[04:17] <TheLance> the edgyeft cd
[04:17] <Pelo> the you mount it
[04:17] <mitch_> I will look up those permission changing commands.
[04:17] <M_Cheevy> Bob: DOS3.2 was before there was a "decent" windows
[04:18] <TheLance> how od i mount it?
[04:18] <Pelo> TheLance,  you mount it, it won'T auto detect
[04:18] <TheLance> how?
[04:18] <Byan> M_Cheevy: ok...
[04:18] <TheLance> is there a command for that?
[04:18] <Pelo> TheLance,  yes there is , give me a minute to type it out
[04:18] <Asc> kitche: really?  Mine doesn't seem to... but I haven't tried very hard to get it working.
[04:18] <CyberCod> I think we need a linux mafia... so we can go to the hardware manufacturers and say "Look, release open source drivers, or you'll be sleepin with da penguins!"
[04:18] <TheLance> k
[04:18] <Rasta> what is faster, upload say a thousand of html files to a server trough ftp or zipit, upload the zip and decompress it on the server with ssh?
[04:18] <Toma-> is there a way to run Mac OSX programs on ubuntu? ...kinda like wine?
[04:18] <M_Cheevy> cchanc1: should be a simple matter of configuring the gateway on the networked PC's to point to the box.  Check out the Linux Network Administrators Guide in the LDP
[04:18] <TheLance> yes toma
[04:18] <TheLance> vmware
[04:19] <Toma-> ahh. thought someone would say that
[04:19] <TheLance> if you have another partition of mac
[04:19] <Asc> CyberCod: until about a year ago the only thing I'd used the command line for was ipconfig and nmap :p
[04:19] <Toma-> or pearpc
[04:19] <Pelo> TheLance,  go to the menu > system > admin > gparted,  just so you can see what partition your hdd is , something like /dev/had1  or something
[04:19] <kitche> Toma-: not really need an emulator to do it
[04:19] <TheLance> k
[04:19] <digin4> hi, what's the best composite manager?
[04:19] <M_Cheevy> Byan:  Many on the motherboard RAID systems are "FakeRaid" or software raid, the howto tells you how to deal with it.
[04:19] <overclocker> i'm using  2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP and i just see 1 core, how could i enable both cores in a core 2 duo?
[04:19] <Toma-> kitche: dang :/ thanks
[04:19] <Jordan_U> Rasta: Depends on the CPU and connection speeds
[04:19] <TheLance> yep
[04:19] <cchanc1> M_Cheevy. Its not and yes ive tryed that its ends badly
[04:19] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, software raid isnt raid on system boards
[04:19] <TheLance> /dev/hda1
[04:19] <mister_roboto> robdeman: have you tried doing a "man crontab" to see where fedora puts them?
[04:19] <Pelo> TheLance,   then go the menu > applications > accessories > terminal , to open the terminal
[04:19] <CyberCod> Asc, whats command line have to do with a linux mafia?
[04:19] <TheLance> k
[04:20] <TheLance> i'm already in terminal
[04:20] <robdeman> mister_roboto: ah lemme check
[04:20] <Falkon4860> I'm very new to Ubuntu.  I'm trying to install compiz, so I downloaded some tar.gz files off the Ubuntu forums.  How do I install these?  (or is there a better way to get compiz)?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> digin4: There is no "best for everyone" I like beryl, but there is nothing wrong with compiz
[04:20] <Asc> CyberCod: Nothing, you'd just mentioned that you've used it since about before I was born.
[04:20] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: are we beginning a semantic argument?
[04:20] <Pelo> TheLance,   type  "sudo mkdir /media/HDA"    to make a mounting point in the media dir
[04:20] <dbglt> is there a way to tell if my ubuntu kernel has speedstep support built in?
[04:20] <digin4> Jordan_U, seems i gotta try all of them ;) thanks
[04:20] <Jordan_U> Falkon4860: Yes, there is a better way
[04:20] <CyberCod> no, no no.. not I... I said no such thing... I've only been on linux for about 5 months
[04:20] <Warbo> By the way, bought a wireless optical mouse today and it worked straight off. Thanks to the people who sort that kind of stuff out :)
[04:20] <Nutubuntu> Hello all - has anyone used Bluefish-unstable 1.1.2 enough to know how block folding works? I'm trying to figure it out and ... so far ... feeling baffled
[04:21] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, sure why not.....but raid on a system board is by its existance is Hardware based
[04:21] <TheLance> k
[04:21] <Pelo> TheLance,   then type "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/HDA"  to mount the drive,  it should appear on your desktop

[04:21] <Asc> CyberCod: You said with pre-95 windows
[04:22] <CyberCod> nope, not I
[04:22] <Falkon4860> Ok I'll check that out, thanks
[04:22] <CyberCod> I started with win98
[04:22] <TheLance> k
[04:22] <Pelo> TheLance, did it work ?
[04:22] <CyberCod> DOS, not linux
[04:22] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: not if it requires drivers to be recognised by the OS, the OS is providing the raid functionality not the bios on the raid controller, true hardware raid makes the array transparant to the OS, it just handles it like a normal drive, no drivers needed, hence on the hardware raid versus using software raid.
[04:22] <TheLance> i don't see the hd on my desktop pelo
[04:22] <TheLance> so no
[04:22] <CyberCod> ugh... my brain hurts
[04:22] <TheLance> let me try it again
[04:22] <Perryman> sweet sweet gAIM
[04:22] <Asc> CyberCod: Eh, kay.
[04:23] <RememberPOL> Is there a way to install build-essential without the CDROM?
[04:23] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, I can agree with that
[04:23] <Pelo> TheLance,   browse your way to the media folder from the places menu
[04:23] <Ciaus> :-)
[04:23] <Pelo> TheLance,  what format was that hdd in ?
[04:23] <TheLance> whatever one linux uses
[04:23] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: depends how old you are if you remember SCSI RAID controllers that handled the RAID through BIOS
[04:23] <Pelo> what file system I mean
[04:23] <kitche> RememberPOL: yes rempve the apt-cdrom line from your source.list
[04:23] <Pelo> ok
[04:23] <TheLance> i dont even see a media folder
[04:23] <digin4> what's the name of the help bot in here?
[04:23] <Pelo> brb
[04:23] <TheLance> i typed the command again
[04:23] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, I do
[04:23] <Perryman> Would anyone happen to know how I can re-install mono? i'm having problems with any programs i try to install that make changes to mono configuration
[04:23] <CyberCod> digin4 ubotu
[04:23] <TheLance> and it said it already existed
[04:23] <TheLance> so
[04:24] <digin4> thanks
[04:24] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: that's why I use that terminology, it comes from "back in the day"
[04:24] <RememberPOL> kitche: thanks

[04:24] <rizzo> (I managed to hork it up on the first try)
[04:24] <rizzo> this is on a headless would-be printer server
[04:24] <TheLance> well pelo
[04:25] <TheLance> i got access to the HD now yes
[04:25] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, I usually reserve the term software raid for "pure" OS raid, where there is no Raid controller and processor under the covers
[04:25] <funnyman3595> Maybe more details will help.  Okay, as said, Gnome is responsive, but programs start slowly if at all (including the shutdown window).  Top reports 95% idle, swap file is only at about 2% of capacity.  Reboot didn't help at all, and X/Gnome started much slower than usual.  The system was originally Dapper, but upgraded to Edgy.
[04:25] <TheLance> but how do i backup the home folder now?
[04:25] <Pelo> TheLance,  so it is done %
[04:25] <hdz> anyone installed ubuntu with virtual pc?
[04:25] <TheLance> can the live cd detect an external hd?
[04:25] <TheLance> i have one of those
[04:25] <Pelo> TheLance, same way , should be anyway
[04:25] <Perryman> does ubuntu come with an rpm program?
[04:25] <hdz> yeah usually
[04:25] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: I guess the difference for me is with "hardware raid" I don't have any trouble installing OS's, but with software raid it's hit F6 or read HowTo Files till you're blue in the face
[04:26] <ShadowX> hey guys I need some help setting up a wireless card in a laptop
[04:26] <jrsup1> @hdz - yeah...I've installed ubuntu on MS VPC
[04:26] <Pelo> Perryman,  there is one in synaptic
[04:26] <TheLance> damn that hard
[04:26] <cchanc1> !fuse
[04:26] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[04:26] <Perryman> Pelo: so i should be able to install mono from that
[04:26] <TheLance> how do i know what its gonna call the external HD?
[04:26] <Perryman> !mono
[04:26] <ubotu> mono: Mono CLI (.NET) runtime. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1.17.1-1ubuntu7.1 (edgy), package size 1 kB, installed size 24 kB
[04:26] <funnyman3595> And about 82M free memory.  There's not a thing I can come up with that would make it be running slowly.  Help?
[04:26] <M_Cheevy> TheLance: LiveCD recognized my USB memory card, no probs, so external HD should be fine
[04:26] <TheLance> k
[04:26] <Warbo> Perryman: You can install RPM in Ubuntu (just that it won't map to Dpkg's dependencies and stuff unless you convert it with alien)
[04:26] <TheLance> i'm gonna try that then
[04:26] <erisco> I installed frostwire, however when I try to run it it reports    runFrost.sh: 44: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
[04:26] <Pelo> TheLance,  but I am not very good with external peripheral , maybe someone else
[04:26] <TheLance> i gotta use windows to delete all of the stuff on it first
[04:26] <Perryman> ah
[04:26] <erisco> where is this file located?
[04:26] <TheLance> k thanks pelo
[04:27] <ploguidice> How do you install the SDL runtime librarys?
[04:27] <Pelo> Perryman,  I don't know what mono is , but read this it might help http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[04:27] <Flannel> TheLance: No, you can just reformat it.
[04:27] <Perryman> Warbo: i have problems installing beryl because i ran software updates and mono crashed
[04:27] <TheLance> you've been great he;p
[04:27] <ploguidice> I downloaded them but dont know how to install them
[04:27] <ShadowX> hey guys I need some help setting up a wireless card in a laptop
[04:27] <sapage_> !php
[04:27] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[04:27] <TheLance> well there is other stuff on it i need
[04:27] <Perryman> thanks
[04:27] <Pelo> ploguidice,  search for it in synaptic
[04:27] <ploguidice> Pelo:How?
[04:27] <M_Cheevy> Pelo: Mono allows you to serve .net pages on a linux web server
[04:27] <Flannel> TheLance: ah, righto then.  Delete!
[04:27] <Perryman> thanks
[04:27] <Pelo> ploguidice,  menu > system > admin > syanptic
[04:28] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, the F6 which installs a device driver, isnt strictly Software raid, especially if the driver is acting as the hal for a real raid controller
[04:28] <Perryman> gotta catch some friends for a movie. you guys have been helpful as usual... that's goin in my bookmarks :)
[04:28] <hdz> jrs: you think it'd be possible to run virtual pc and make it to installed to a virtual drived file linux.vhd on windows while installing ubuntu, so it writes to that partition to a iso file, or would ubuntu be gettin messed up with that
[04:28] <Pelo> ploguidice,  search for it , select and apply
[04:28] <TheLance> k
[04:28] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: that's only in windows... have a read in the Ubuntu wiki "FakeRaidHowTo"
[04:28] <TheLance> shit
[04:28] <Flannel> funnyman3595: try reseating the RAM
[04:28] <hdz> i really don't feel like repartitioning, neither do i feel like running 2 os's at once
[04:29] <TheLance> how do i give myself writing privaledges?
[04:29] <TheLance> to the external hd?
[04:29] <MikeyMike> mztriz asdf.
[04:29] <hdz> i think you're running the live cd
[04:29] <M_Cheevy> TheLance: type "man mount" at the prompt
[04:29] <TheLance> it won't let me directly write or delete from it
[04:29] <TheLance> yes i can
[04:29] <erisco> I installed frostwire, but where is runFrost.sh ?
[04:29] <TheLance> k
[04:29] <jrsup1> hdz: I'm not sure what you mean you want it to write the VHD partition to an ISO as well?
[04:29] <ploguidice> thnx
[04:29] <Ciaus> M_Cheevy, I install most flavors of OS's, as part of my daily work.....a driver no matter how it gets into an OS if it provides an interface to dedicated hardware, is not software raid
[04:30] <M_Cheevy> Ciaus: RAID goes back a ways before HALs
[04:30] <funnyman3595> Flannel: Not sure why that would help any.  I can run things just fine from a Ctrl+Alt+FX terminal, it's just the GUI that's borked.
[04:30] <hdz> ISO= i meant the settings in virtual PC would write to a file on root c in win at whatever size it needs
[04:30] <stormy|> What does it mean when you apt-get install something and ubuntu asks you to insert some version of the ubuntu setup disk... I inserted the one that I used and aparently it's the wrong one
[04:30] <M_Cheevy> basically lance I've just told you to RTFM
[04:30] <tonyyarusso> !rtfm | M_Cheevy
[04:30] <ubotu> M_Cheevy: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[04:31] <mitch_> What is an Operand??
[04:31] <M_Cheevy> tony: but "man <command>" is?
[04:31] <kitche> stormy|: you have the cdrom in your source.list
[04:31] <FearMoth> Hi, my ubuntu install defaulted to generic video/vesa driver when I installed, but I know there's a driver (in dapper anyways) that works with my laptop's video. lspci lists my graphics as Intel 82852/855GM, does anyone know what driver to use for this chip? Is this driver included with edgy?
[04:31] <hdz> manual to the binary command
[04:31] <muuhDBX> !seen aka_druid
[04:31] <ubotu> aka_druid is on IRC right now!
[04:31] <tonyyarusso> M_Cheevy: "I suggest looking at 'man <command>' - that will have a lot of detailed info about what you're trying to do.  :)
[04:31] <stormy|> kitche, what do you mean?
[04:31] <cchanc1> !unmount
[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unmount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <cchanc1> how do i unmount
[04:32] <Ciaus> does edgy has improved wireless support for laptops?
[04:32] <mister_roboto> cchanc1: umount
[04:32] <M_Cheevy> tony: well, that's about what I said... but not so verbose ;)
[04:32] <tonyyarusso> M_Cheevy: 'k
[04:32] <mitch_> i.e. chmod -R /media/win.....Missing operand
[04:32] <kitche> stormy|: you need to edit /etc/apt/source.list and remove the cdrom line from it
[04:32] <ploguidice> does anyone here use visual boy advance?
[04:32] <M_Cheevy> tony: I just let him know that by using the man command he was basically reading the "fine" manual
[04:33] <jrsup1> hdz: I'm still a little lost in translation I think, but you can have VPC save the file wherever you want.
[04:33] <TheLance> yeah
[04:33] <funnyman3595> Flannel: And it's not something I can try at the moment, the comp's in use as a server.  I'll try it later tonight if I haven't solved this by then.
[04:33] <M_Cheevy> cchanc1: umount <mount point> || <mount device>
[04:33] <Asc> FearMoth: It sounds like probably it would be the i8[something]  driver.  I can try to look it up.
[04:33] <ploguidice> HEy I downloaded the DLS library because I needed them for visual boy advance
[04:33] <Mazus> does anyone know what would be causing this vlc error? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3888/plain/
[04:33] <overclocker> anyone knows how to install an smp kernel in edgy?
[04:33] <ploguidice> then after installing SDL
[04:33] <hdz> the iso, i meant the .vhd file really means an iso image on the drive that's flexible to what you set it at GB wise to so i'd set it at 8gig or something should be fine right, what program did you say you used to run through windows to run ubuntu like in virtual pc
[04:33] <ploguidice> visualboyadvance still doesnt start
[04:33] <Flannel> overclocker: -generic
[04:33] <stormy|> thanks kitche
[04:33] <Ciaus> !wireless
[04:33] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:34] <Byan> =/ does anyone want to guide me in getting this software RAID5 to work...?
[04:34] <FearMoth> Asc: thanks, but I found on google that someone used i810, that seems familiar from my old xorg.conf. Are the intel drivers included in edgy?
[04:34] <Flannel> overclocker: assuming you have a intel-ish processor, that is.  smp has been rolled into the non since Dapper
[04:34] <hdz> anyone install this on a dual pc
[04:34] <ShadowX> hey guys I need some help setting up a wireless card in a laptop
[04:34] <overclocker> 4flannel: i just see 1 core and i have a core 2 duo
[04:34] <Asc> FearMoth: Probably, but you should search in synaptic for 'i810'
[04:34] <hdz> with the desktop version
[04:35] <FearMoth> thanks Asc
[04:35] <mitch_> kitche chmod -R /media/win    What am I missing. It says I am missing an operand?
[04:35] <Warbo> Can someone please tell me why a package wants to update from version 10-10 to 1:2.8.1-0ubuntu1? I don't want the package I built to update to Ubuntu's, but can't seem to stop it
[04:35] <mabus> every time I try to install a package with apt-get, it tries to remake my initrd (seems to be updating my linux-kernel-2.6.17-10-server package)... I don't want it to do this and potentially overwrite the changes I have made to it to allow me to boot into my encrypted environment. How can I stop it from trying to do this every instance of apt-get install.. I don't think apt-get remove my kernel would be a good idea, please can somebody offer me suggestion
[04:35] <kitche> mitch_: your missing the user that will own the directory
[04:35] <bulmer> mitch you are missing the owner
[04:35] <suffer> i'm having some trouble with mounted partitions, i decided to change where they are mounted, but GNOME still shows the old names (though it takes you to the right dir)
[04:35] <mitch_> I.e. me
[04:35] <mitch_> LOL
[04:35] <TheLance> k
[04:35] <Ciaus> Is this statement still accurate on the wifi pages?  "Note that you can not set up WPA encryption in a gui environment as of Feb 2006 but it is being developed and will come in the future."?
[04:36] <Asc> FearMoth: Should be a package like 'xserver-xorg-video-i810'... I use that driver, and it works just fine, though I have a different chipset.
[04:36] <Flannel> mabus: You should edit the appropriate lines in your menu.lst to re-implement those chagnes each time it's remade
[04:36] <TheLance> how do i give myself permission to add to the external hd
[04:36] <suffer> i thought it might be something with UUID, but it happens with regular fstab format too
[04:36] <Flannel> mabus: each kernel update recreates the grub menu.
[04:36] <t000r> hello, is it save to use gtkpod to upload an video to an G5.5 30GB iPod? (Is it just adding file and select the video or do I miss something?!)
[04:36] <TheLance> its called "RCA LYRA"
[04:36] <mitch_> I see. what do I call the regular user?
[04:36] <mabus> Flannel: well it's saying it doesn't have the tools to make my root disk
[04:36] <jrsup1> hdz: never heard of dual pc.  Microsoft's Virtual PC is free right now, but there are video issues with it.  You have to start it up in a low VGA mode and then check google for a flag you'll have to add to the grub menu.lst file to get the video to work right
[04:37] <TheLance> i'm in hte live CD
[04:37] <kitche> t000r: with video it's different not sure if there is an app that does ipodvideo yet
[04:37] <hdz> has anyone installed ubuntu with a wireless usb, (not having a wireless network) but connecting to other people in say your apt complex? :) can it detect that w/linksys in the instrallation process for updating kernel/files etc
[04:37] <mabus> Flannel: And I really did have to do a lot of fooling around to get this to work, I really don't want my kernel updated.. I can't stop this?
[04:37] <ploguidice> Can someone help me with this emulator?
[04:37] <cchanc1> Volume is dirty.
[04:37] <cchanc1> Run chkdsk and try again, or use the --force option.
[04:37] <cchanc1> Mount failed.
[04:37] <kitche> mitch_: whatever your user is that you log on as

[04:38] <stratusfear> i can shadowx
[04:38] <cchanc1> mitch_ its chown
[04:38] <bulmer> bash channel is on freenode
[04:38] <kitche> mitch_: chown -R mitche /media/win but umask would be easier
[04:38] <t000r> kitche: so gtkpod does not support video uploading?! because it accepts the file (using latest gtkpod/libgpod) without any warning.. i don't want to break something .. the ipod is currently "itunes build"..
[04:38] <Warbo> mitch_: try "sudo chown mitch -R /media/win"
[04:38] <mitch_> hang on
[04:38] <stratusfear> shadowx what's your problem?
[04:38] <Asc> FearMoth: if it doesn't work, a different version might.  Barring that, this site might help: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html
[04:38] <Flannel> mabus: yeah.  Juts keep in mind you won't get kernel updates.  You're on edgy, right? remove the linux-server and linux-image-server packages (but not linux-image-[version stuff] -server package, thats your actual server).
[04:39] <ShadowX> ok, I just installed Ubuntu for a friend of mine on his laptop
[04:39] <t000r> is thre any irc channel with gtkpod/libgpod devs in?
[04:39] <kitche> t00r: no clue but ipodvideo support is limited that I know of

[04:40] <hdz> does ubuntu's linux partitioning have the ability to use the native fs to cfdisk if you have windows on disk0?
[04:40] <stratusfear> shadowx do you got the right modules?
[04:40] <ShadowX> i have no idea
[04:40] <mabus> Flannel: yeah, edgy. thanks a ton
[04:40] <mitch_> Ok, this is gonna take forever. But it is working.
[04:40] <ShadowX> I just installed tonight from the alternate CD cuz we couldnt get the livecd to owkr
[04:40] <stratusfear> what x are you using?
[04:40] <ShadowX> Im still a n00b myself, so Im still having issues lol
[04:40] <rizzo> what package provides /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?
[04:40] <ShadowX> me?
[04:40] <hdz> i should just install the damn thing
[04:40] <Flannel> mabus: but, you should be able to edit menu.lst to atuomatically regenerate your changes anyway, so even with upgrades you can boot.
[04:40] <mabus> Flannel: alternatively I could find out what is causing it to report that it can't make a new initrd (says it doesnt have the tools)... could it have to do with the fact that I made my own initrd?
[04:40] <stratusfear> yeah
[04:41] <kitche> TheLance: you can do it with chown ubuntu <mount point if you want since you are on teh livecd you won't effect anything really
[04:41] <Flannel> mabus: there's fields above the kernel listings, that talk about it.  kopt and stuff
[04:41] <mitch_> LOL, I still don't have permission??
[04:41] <stratusfear> shadowx what x are you using?
[04:41] <ploguidice> Can anyone help me with this emulator
[04:41] <ShadowX> um, the default one installed from the latest alt cd
[04:41] <ShadowX> Xorg I think
[04:41] <mabus> Flannel: I edited the automagic options for menu.lst, the problem is that it messses up when trying to actually make the rd
[04:41] <Flannel> mabus: that may be it.  Sure, others might be permission issues.
[04:41] <kitche> mitch_: by change what is your toher drive?
[04:41] <ploguidice> Can someone please help me setup a GBA emulator?
[04:41] <TheLance> how do I do that kitche?
[04:41] <kitche> mitch_: like the filesystem of it
[04:41] <TheLance> whats the command for it kitche?
[04:41] <ploguidice> I'm sure it won't take more than two minutes.
[04:42] <mitch_> ntfs
[04:42] <stratusfear> shadowx what x windows manager?

[04:42] <stratusfear> ok
[04:42] <kitche> TheLance: I already told you tge command with chown
[04:42] <mabus> Flannel: and what you reccomended unfortunatel did not solve the problem
[04:42] <kitche> mitch_: ok you trying to jsut read it right? or you want write support
[04:42] <ploguidice> Will someone please help me with this emulator I'm sure it won't take long for someone who knows what they are doing
[04:42] <TheLance> so RCA LYRA Chown
[04:42] <ShadowX> btw sorry if I sound stupid, or seem a bit preoccupied. Im having alot of personal issues too and trying to do some other things as well. but Im focusing as much as I can :)
[04:42] <Flannel> mabus: eh?  It'll keep the kernels from upgrading.  I dont... Oh, you built you own kernel?
[04:42] <mabus> Flannel: Failed to find suitable ramdisk generation tool for kernel version
[04:43] <mabus> I didn't build my own kernel, I made my own rootdisk.
[04:43] <mitch_> Well, I was gonna transfer about 100gb of music off of it. Then add it as a normal linux volume.
[04:43] <ploguidice> Can someone please give me a little kindness?
[04:43] <bulmer> ShadowX did dmesg detected your nic card?

[04:43] <Flannel> No idea.  I imagine it's trying to do some postinstall scriptsfrom your upgrade, and having issues.  I really don't know though.  You may try googling it.  It's a unique enough error, you shouldn't have to wade through garbage
[04:43] <ShadowX> kk
[04:43] <dublevista> this afternoon ikonia told me to run memtest86 to check my RAM b/c Edgy installer keeps crashing.  I just ran the memtest86 but i dont knwo what to do with it.  can anyone advise me?

[04:47] <juanchito2006> How do I mount a thumb drive?
[04:47] <stratusfear> shadow ok
[04:47] <kitche> juanchito2006: should automount
[04:47] <Asc> dublevista: installer problems are the realm of madness.  I always recommend using the alternate install CD because it doesn't break until after things are actually installed.
[04:48] <juanchito2006> I dismount ed it
[04:48] <dublevista> does anyone know how to run memtest 86?  i am running a vectra Pent III 933GHz 512 RAM
[04:48] <jt_a7x_3> 6.06 is the latest V of ubuntu correct?
[04:48] <kitche> juanchito2006: then it's mount /dev/xxx /media/xxx
[04:48] <hdz> i guess you can always fix shit with knoppix
[04:48] <stratusfear> shadow did you go to system, administer and netowrk and try to condfigure?
[04:48] <Quarupted_> macd,Ya home?
[04:48] <kitche> jt_a7x_3: no 6.10 is
[04:48] <jt_a7x_3> hmmm
[04:48] <dublevista> ASC: how do i get the alternate install?

[04:49] <bytecolor> anyone have a clue why I have to restart Firefox to get audio (like on youtube) *after* running xmms?
[04:49] <Tido> is there a way to install a different version of ubuntu through apt-get or another way besides a CD?
[04:49] <suffer> i have 2 ext3 partitions (hda3 & hda4) that were mounted to /media/Media{1,2}, i changed the mount points, but nautilus still shows Media{1,2} but takes me to the correct dir. this affects all users. any ideas?
[04:49] <jt_a7x_3> Oh I see, i donwloaded 6.06 long term, i thought they both were 6.06. Alrighty thanks.
[04:49] <hdz> sorry
[04:49] <dublevista> ubotu: is that an automatic response or are you actually watching what people say?
[04:49] <kitche> bytecolor: it's due to flash
[04:49] <Warbo> bytecolor: The flash plugin and XMMS both hog the soundcard, so they will kick each other off it
[04:49] <kitche> dublevista: it's a switch
[04:49] <hdz> it's a bot, someone did a command and it responded
[04:49] <TheLance> damn
[04:49] <EnsignRedshirt> dublevista: I have only run it from the list of boot options.  When you reboot, you get to screen where you can choose your version of the kernel.  Usual memtest86 is one of the options there.
[04:50] <dublevista> cool
[04:50] <TheLance> i get a readonly file system message
[04:50] <EnsignRedshirt> *Usuallyt
[04:50] <EnsignRedshirt> *Usually
[04:50] <TheLance> i can't even write to it
[04:50] <kitche> TheLance: yes ntfs by default is readonly
[04:50] <TheLance> well its not NTFS
[04:50] <ShadowX> stratusfear: it wont show the card in the list
[04:50] <TheLance> its  Fat32
[04:50] <Warbo> bytecolor: Make sure XMMS is set to use ALSA (in Preferences) and maybe try out the latest Flash 9 plugin if it really annoys you (since that uses ALSA too)
[04:50] <Asc> darned alt-x
[04:50] <kitche> TheLance: well you need root powers or you need to use umask
[04:50] <Kanuha> how do I start the live cd with a different resolution?
[04:50] <cchanc1> ljl, can i allow you to javk in and set up fuse for me im too pised of right not to do shit. the dam thing isnt working for me maby you
[04:50] <dublevista> ensign:  that's greek to me.  i am newbee
[04:50] <cchanc1> jack*
[04:50] <hdz> has anyone installed using smp? i have dual xeon i was reading you need to recompile the kernel (possibly)
[04:51] <Asc> dublevista: that's a good question, because there's no one answer :\
[04:51] <manaf> hi, im trying to install my nvidia xgl from the synaptic package manager, i follow the steps, and everything, but when i restart i get an error saying that i dont have the right kernel or something, my current kernel is 2.6.17-10-386 can someone help me set it up please?
[04:51] <stratusfear> shadow what ubuntu do you got?
[04:51] <Asc> dublevista: At the download page, after, you select a server, click the 'other installation options'
[04:51] <ShadowX> the latest one
[04:51] <TheLance> so "umask chown ubuntu /media/mountpoint" kitche?
[04:51] <ShadowX> I just downloaded the image today
[04:51] <bytecolor> Warbo, I keep around 8 tabs open in Firefox, so every time I have to restart Firefox I have to reload the tabs (dont want to do it with the home page setting)
[04:51] <Warbo> hdz: For what it's worth both of my cores are working on my AMD laptop by default
[04:51] <kitche> hdz: you need smp to use a multi core system it will just act as one core system if you don't use smp
[04:51] <kitche> TheLance: no
[04:51] <Asc> dublevista: but make sure you've selected an http server instead of an ftp server, so you get triendly heml
[04:51] <bytecolor> so yea, it's annoying ;)
[04:51] <kitche> !permission|TheLance you want teh volume permission part
[04:51] <ubotu> TheLance you want teh volume permission part: 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
[04:52] <cchanc1> ljl, come on im serious
[04:52] <stratusfear> shadow you need to install the windows driver on ubuntu to get your card working
[04:52] <hdz> i never want through the install yet, i'm guessing it gives you the option to compile that into the kernel
[04:52] <juanchito2006> !mount
[04:52] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[04:52] <Squee> I'm trying to set up a bridge between my wireless and my wired connection (my other laptop has to be wired as i'm installing gentoo and the wireless doens't work yet)
[04:52] <ShadowX> and how do I get it?
[04:52] <Squee> how do i go about doing that
[04:52] <hdz> !gparted
[04:52] <dublevista> asc: do i have to type someone's nick everytime i enter a line of dialogue in these chats?
[04:52] <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
[04:52] <kitche> cchanc1: ljl is not on

[04:52] <jt_a7x_3> ubuntu to*
[04:52] <cchanc1> Kitche, i trust you enough can you do it?
[04:53] <myr3N> where can i find drivers wich supports linux for my GFX card?
[04:53] <cchanc1> im deleting linux any way so
[04:53] <bulmer> jt_a7x_3: can your machine boot off of the external drive?
[04:53] <vladimir_> e aew
[04:53] <Asc> dublevista: no, but with xchat, it highlights the line and notifies them that you've addressed them, so it's easier to keep a coherent conversation.
[04:53] <kitche> cchanc1: no since I m not into the helping people with ssh anymore
[04:53] <jt_a7x_3> Well, I don't mean like that. I'm running through vmware
[04:53] <manaf> is there a channel for ubuntu and nvidia or something?
[04:53] <jt_a7x_3> Or would I have to go to vmware's channel for support like that?
[04:53] <TheLance> i'm still confused
[04:53] <andre_> how do i configure a web cam?
[04:53] <Asc> dublevista: you get used to it after a while.  Also you develop homicidal feelings towards people with hard-to-type names.
[04:53] <mabus> mabus: I've been googling
[04:53] <TheLance> darn it
[04:53] <EnsignRedshirt> dublevista: It's a good idea to use the complete nick.  I have gaim setup to make a sound when my nick is used, so I don't miss a message.
[04:53] <mabus> err
[04:54] <mabus> Flannel: I've been googling and found replications of the error, and nobody with a fix

[04:54] <myr3N> where can i find drivers wich supports linux for my GFX card?
[04:54] <hdz> has anyone, used a wireless usb device to connect to other non-wep-wap access points like i do in windows, while installing ubuntu does it pick it up like it would a LAN since i go through someone elses dhcp
[04:54] <stratusfear> shadow go to synaptic and install ndiswrapper and bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:54] <Squee> Does anyone here know how to bridge networks with 2 interfaces in linux?
[04:54] <kitche> myr3N: what video card
[04:54] <cchanc1> tonyyarusso, this thing is too frusterating for me to even care about that sorry
[04:54] <ShadowX> do I have to do that from the laptop?
[04:54] <stratusfear> yeah
[04:54] <myr3N> ATi Radeon x1650 Pro
[04:54] <manaf> hi, im trying to install my nvidia xgl from the synaptic package manager, i follow the steps, and everything, but when i restart i get an error saying that i dont have the right kernel or something, my current kernel is 2.6.17-10-386 can someone help me set it up, anyone? im kinda stuck here
[04:54] <ShadowX> what do I do after that?
[04:54] <mabus> hdz: nah, wireless nets don't work during the blue-screen-type installatino
[04:55] <dublevista> ensignRedshirts:  are you saying i have to type all this every time i return a comment to you?  that's a good idea with a sound alert.  i burned memtest86  on a separate CD and booted with it.
[04:55] <stratusfear> download the windows driver for your card
[04:55] <myr3N> kitche: ATi Radeon x1650 pro
[04:55] <ShadowX> through those programs or what?
[04:55] <EnsignRedshirt> dublevista: Does your chat program have tab-completion?  Try Ens<tab>
[04:55] <dublevista> EnsignRedShirts: are nicks case-sensitive?
[04:55] <kitche> myr3N: ok should be xorg-video-fglrx
[04:55] <mabus> dublevista: just press the first few letters of their name and then tab
[04:55] <myr3N> ?
[04:56] <kitche> !ati|myr3
[04:56] <ubotu> myr3: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:56] <Warbo> bytecolor: Here's Flash 9 (no Ubuntu package though) http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[04:56] <kitche> !ati|myr3N
[04:56] <ubotu> myr3N: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:56] <Asc> dublevista: it sometimes helps to copy the name: to clipboard so you don't have to type it every time
[04:56] <dublevista> EnsignRedshirt: oh yeah, that's a time saver.  thanks
[04:56] <cchanc1> is their a gui for editing NTFS partions on a X64 based os?
[04:56] <hdz> mabus: so what point do i get at to where i can configure that which is kinda automatic so i can download updates
[04:56] <EnsignRedshirt> dublevista: That worked.
[04:56] <stratusfear> shadow download the windows driver for your card and type in the propt ndiswrapper -i name.inf
[04:56] <EvanS> !ndiswrapper
[04:56] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:56] <Asc> mabus: Or do what mabus said.  I didn't know that....
[04:56] <hdz> nothing in that doc about usb wifi
[04:56] <Asc> mabus: that was supposed to be for dublevista
[04:56] <Kanuha> I put my PC in the family room and hooked it up to our big screen tv, only when I try to install ubuntu, it has the wrong resolution. How can I get it to start ubuntu with a different resolution without ubuntu running?

[04:57] <Cpudan80> Anyone know why Ubuntu doesn't install in MS Virtual PC?
[04:57] <mabus> Cpudan80: I haven't gotten ANYTHING to install in a MSVPC
[04:57] <hdz> i was about to do that cpudan

[04:57] <cchanc1>  is their a gui for editing NTFS partions on a X64 based os?
[04:57] <Cpudan80> Other linux distros work
[04:57] <Cpudan80> SUSE worked
[04:57] <Cpudan80> SUSE 10
[04:58] <Squee> Cpudan80: because after microsoft bought the program, linux support has gone downhill in it
[04:58] <hdz> jrsup1 got virtual pc to work
[04:58] <mabus> cchanc1: a gui for editing partitions... you mean a file manager?
[04:58] <dublevista> mabus: are nicks case sensitive?
[04:58] <hdz> i think you gotta write everything from u to a virtual vhd file
[04:58] <mabus> dublevista: depends on your client
[04:58] <Cpudan80> It looks like it is having vid card issues
[04:58] <mitch_> kitche Ended up using that script. I guess I didn't learn much, but it worked. Thanks.
[04:58] <johnnytang24> so I installed ubuntu on an LVM, now it's impossible to upgrade the kernel?
[04:58] <Cpudan80> Can I do a non-gui install somehow?
[04:58] <Warbo> GParted edits partitions
[04:58] <Squee> cpudan: the soft lock issue right?
[04:58] <cchanc1> mabus, i need something i need to corect a corupt hal.dll file in the system
[04:58] <dublevista> mabus: is colloquy a good start?
[04:58] <Cpudan80> Squee: shift-lock ?
[04:58] <Warbo> Cpudan80: Alternate CD
[04:58] <Cpudan80> Warbo: I only have the one CD
[04:58] <mabus> Cpudan80: get the alternate cd, or alternatively (no pun intended) a server cd
[04:59] <Cpudan80> ha ok
[04:59] <hdz> cchanc1: put the winxp or win2000 cd in and run recovery
[04:59] <B3N> anybody know how to fix borderless windows with compiz/xgl with an ati graphics card? im new to this
[04:59] <Squee> Cpudan80: when I tried to install it, it gave me the error Soft lockup detected on CPU
[04:59] <cchanc1> AHHHHHHHH
[04:59] <mabus> Cpudan80: download the other one then, and make msvpc use the iso instead of burning a new cd
[04:59] <dublevista> EnsignRedshirt: can you help out with this memtest 86 thing?
[04:59] <hdz> squee: is your cpu overclocked or bus
[04:59] <mitch_> Now to conquer my spdif issue??

[04:59] <Polygon89> Hello, i have a little by annoying problem. The "quit" button (the button that you press and it gives you a choice whether to log out, switch user, hibernate, etc) is malfunctioning, and whenever i press it , it just automatically logs me out. Is there any way to fix this?
[04:59] <ks1> does anyone have good links to a packaging guide for ubuntu besides the (not so great) packaging guide for ubuntu
[04:59] <Warbo> B3N: Try running "compiz --replace &" first, if not then make sure the "window decorator" plugin is turned on
[04:59] <mabus> cchanc1: yeah you're best off going with the windows solution, but if you had wanted to do this with a gui with linux you'd just use your regular file manager.. you'd just have to have the ntfs parition mounted with read/write
[05:00] <unperson> I need to compile a new alsa-driver for my sound chipset.  I know it uses either the snd-intel8x0 or snd-hda-intel module.  Can I compile alsa-driver with support for both?  I know there's a --with-cards= option for configure, but can I list two things there?  How should they be separated?
[05:00] <Squee> hdz: no, that is what happens when you try to install ubuntu on microsoft virtual pc
[05:00] <Flannel> B3N: #ubuntu-effects for XGL,et al support.
[05:00] <dublevista> ks1: what is a packaging guide?
[05:00] <hdz> it builds the vhd file image
[05:00] <cchanc1> I cant download knoppix, expecialy if its a cd
[05:00] <jt_a7x_3> Are there any video tutorials of Ubuntu?
[05:00] <ks1> dublevista, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html
[05:01] <unperson> Nevermind, I figured it out.
[05:01] <unperson> ...I think.
[05:01] <hdz> you put the cd in, capture d: and everything writes to a 10gig file in dev0
[05:01] <mitch_> Where is the best place to put Media Files on a new linux install?
[05:01] <Squee> Does anyone here know how to use brctl?  I've been trying to figure it out for over an hour to no prevail

[05:01] <Flannel> cchanc1: nautilus
[05:01] <Flannel> cchanc1: (that's the normal file browser)
[05:01] <hdz>          for packaging, yeah debians different then linux besides doing stuff manually
[05:01] <dublevista> while i am sitting here chatting, the memtest just went crazy all of a sudden (that's a different computer).  now there are hundreds of lines in a big red box scrolling and the errors lsit is abotu 150000 and rising.  what the heck is going on?
[05:02] <hectorcitop> hello
[05:02] <Squee> cchancl:  if you set your fstab to mount your ntfs partition, you can browse to it like any other folder

[05:03] <hdz> i dont know about this os, i've never installed it , i know slackware tho
[05:03] <Cpudan80> Squee: where did your install die?
[05:03] <TheLance> guys where is the xorg.conf file stored?
[05:03] <Cpudan80> Right after the progress bar goes accross?
[05:03] <TheLance> /etc/then what?
[05:03] <Squee> cpudan80: loading the kernel
[05:03] <hdz> what you trying to make it compliant with this new linux?
[05:03] <kitche> TheLance: /etc/X11/
[05:03] <ks1> hdz, i got plenty of scripts for slackware/archlinux. I've even built gnome before
[05:03] <Not-Mnf> TheLance:  X11
[05:03] <dublevista> why do some nicks and icons appear in the sidebar on colloquy?
[05:03] <TheLance> thank you
[05:03] <hdz> heh
[05:03] <hdz> X11 should be a different channel
[05:04] <cchanc1> I can mount the ntfs partion its editing that gets me. fuse doesnt like me for some reason and the 3g program is for 32 based systems
[05:04] <Squee> Not-Mnf - ahh i had that problem, see... ubutnu provides nvidia-glx-common.  So you have to remove that... but when you remove that it will try to remove linux-restricted-whatnot which contains drivers
[05:04] <hdz> anyone know wikki or ojnk.net
[05:04] <hdz> oidentd
[05:04] <stratusfear> shadow and then type ndiswrapper -l and ndiswrapper -m
[05:04] <Cpudan80> Squee: no - I get farther than that
[05:04] <ks1> cchanc1, http://givre.cabspace.com/ntfs-config/
[05:04] <mabus> Flannel: Can I just apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.17-10-server
[05:04] <Not-Mnf> Squee: so what should i do?
[05:04] <mabus> or is that a bad idea
[05:04] <Flannel> mabus: that'll remove your kernel
[05:04] <antiNeo> what is apt-index-watch? it's eating all of my resources
[05:04] <mabus> well how can I just tell it to stop trying?
[05:04] <Cpudan80> It looks like it's loading GNOME
[05:04] <stratusfear> shadow and then modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:04] <antiNeo> 100% cpu
[05:04] <Cpudan80> herrm
[05:05] <hdz> who was the one that had the dual cpu
[05:05] <Squee> Not-Mnf - try this:  sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and in the disabled modules disable nvidia
[05:05] <ks1> antiNeo, there was a bug report for that. What version are you running?
[05:05] <bytecolor> Warbo thanks. I can switch between xmms and a flash vid now :)
[05:05] <antiNeo> ks1: latest, 6.10, kubuntu
[05:05] <Squee> Cpudan80: perhaps i had a bad iso then
[05:05] <antiNeo> and it seems apt-index-watch keeps opening and closing... so I can't really kill it
[05:06] <antiNeo> pissing me off
[05:06] <ks1> antiNeo, I would check launchpad and see if there is a bug report, if not file one
[05:06] <ploguidice> Could anyone here help me set up a GBA emulator?
[05:06] <hdz> it's got some dependency
[05:06] <Cpudan80> Squee: It looks like X11 is messed up
[05:06] <dublevista> what is a recommended irc client?
[05:06] <Cpudan80> on mine
[05:06] <Not-Mnf> Squee: does that install the dirvers? i want to install the nvidia glx drivers,
[05:06] <Mangix> got a question here
[05:06] <Cpudan80> can I back out of the graphical mode at all?
[05:06] <Mangix> where is the GRUB config file located?
[05:06] <Squee> Not-Mnf: you installed them manually correct?
[05:06] <Flannel> Cpudan80: ctrl-alt-f1
[05:06] <hdz> ircII
[05:06] <Flannel> mabus: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:06] <Mangix> got it
[05:06] <Not-Mnf> Squee: no actually i used synaptic package Manager
[05:07] <Squee> oh...
[05:07] <Cpudan80> Ouch!
[05:07] <Squee> well it sounds like you tried to install manually
[05:07] <Cpudan80> CTRL-ALT-F1
[05:07] <Cpudan80> That messed it up a lot
[05:07] <hdz> could i have avoided a lot of partitioning if i downloaded the alternative version with grub'
[05:07] <Squee> and now it is fighting over which version is  the nvidia module
[05:07] <Cpudan80> looks like a rainbow on the screen
[05:07] <dublevista> anyone know the best channel for ubuntu newbees?
[05:07] <Not-Mnf> Squee: i tried it manually b4,
[05:07] <Squee> yep
[05:07] <Cpudan80> That's what I get for installing Ubuntu on Virtual PC
[05:07] <suffer> ls
[05:07] <cchanc1> Is their an ntfs browser that already has all its dependancys in it? that way i can just get it done and get my baby back
[05:07] <bytecolor> RH still using lilo?
[05:07] <hdz> cpudan: did you use the virtual file .vhd
[05:08] <Not-Mnf> Squee: it didnt work. so i had to do it this way, is there a way to restore the old kernel and have the spm do it for me? through GUI?
[05:08] <bulmer> bytecolor: most distro have options to use which..
[05:08] <Tido> !ubotu
[05:08] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:08] <bytecolor> bulmer, nod
[05:08] <Cpudan80> hdz: yeah - that's the only option
[05:08] <xixor> so, after failing to install ubuntu with the live cd, I've tried the alternative cd.  This time, when I go to do  text-based intstall, it just says loading daemons, syslogd and another one, and stays there and doesn't go anywhere
[05:08] <Cpudan80> Unless I want to share the space with my main HDD
[05:08] <Cpudan80> which I dont want to do
[05:08] <Squee> so here's what you do, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-common.  go to nvidia's site and download the same file you tried to install before.  type  "sh Nvidia(whateverthefilenameis) --help" and look for the command to uninstall nvidia.  Then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-common and see if that works
[05:08] <bytecolor> just dont hear much about lilo any more
[05:08] <Warbo> cchanc1: There is no such thing as an NTFS browser really. Filesystems like NTFS are handled by the kernel, and file managers (Konqueror, Nautilus, etc.) can then access anything the kernel can
[05:08] <hdz> installing it on vpc w/deamon tools running, that'll fck up everything, it detects a lot of drives off by 1, or 0 for that matter
[05:09] <Flannel> bytecolor: Ubuntu has options for either
[05:09] <johnnytang24> how did ubuntu get lilo to boot off an LVM?
[05:09] <Flannel> johnnytang24: I don't believe it does.
[05:09] <Not-Mnf> Squee:  ill try that, thanks alot bro
[05:09] <hdz> running it over shared NAT with vpc with the livecd would be better
[05:09] <kitche> bytecolor: well in reality lilo is getting out of date
[05:09] <Squee> Not-Mnf: no problem :)
[05:09] <mabus> Flannel: I don't see what you're pointing me there for.
[05:09] <cchanc1> Is their such thing as a boot up file manager, thats not an operating system but will allow the editing and manipulation of files?
[05:09] <johnnytang24> Flannel : my / partition is an LVM
[05:09] <Flannel> mabus: er, where did I point you?
[05:09] <cchanc1> i cant even start windows due to a hal error
[05:09] <hdz> grubs good
[05:09] <johnnytang24> and my /boot is in /
[05:10] <Flannel> johnnytang24: that's fine, as long as /boot isnt.  But you need to use grub
[05:10] <zbadone> how do you see frame rate when running glxgears?
[05:10] <mabus> Flannel: There are options there that will change the menu.lst generated by automagic... but the point is that it doesn't even get that far.. it doesn't generate a not-working kernel, it simply fails
[05:10] <Flannel> johnnytang24: that's... doable, but thousands of times more difficult.
[05:10] <phaedra> johnnytang24,  Normally, there is also a /boot partition too...
[05:10] <johnnytang24> well, the installer did it
[05:10] <kitche> zbadone: -printfps
[05:10] <zbadone> ty
[05:10] <bulmer> cchanc1: not many of use have 64bit system yet..so you're the pioneer
[05:10] <Flannel> johnnytang24: right, go back... make a separate partition, outside of LVM, and put /boot on it
[05:10] <johnnytang24> but now I can't upgrade the kernel
[05:10] <zbadone> I could not find that anywhere
[05:10] <hdz> just put windows cd in and do repair, hal.dll will copy over, if you cant go into recovery mode and copy the hal.dl_ from your win\? dir
[05:10] <zbadone> ty
[05:10] <Warbo> johnnytang24: Nothing is stopping you from moving /boot to a different partition if you need to. Just be sure to fiddle with your bootloader and fstab
[05:10] <cchanc1> oh great no support
[05:10] <Flannel> johnnytang24: er, you can't boot either, for that matter.
[05:10] <Not-Mnf> Squee: can i pm you?
[05:11] <Not-Mnf> cuz im getting a long message
[05:11] <hdz> cchance i keep taking to you
[05:11] <Not-Mnf> i dont wanna paste it here
[05:11] <johnnytang24> Flannel : I can boot fine, but I can't install a new kernel, cause lilo doesn't understand the LVM
[05:11] <hdz> WHOS GOT A DUAL XEON
[05:11] <Squee> Not-Mnf: sure
[05:11] <kitche> !caps
[05:11] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:12] <bulmer> johnnytang24: when you re-run lilo  do you get an error?
[05:12] <EvanS> hey, whenever i try to put in my password for the networking section it tells me that it's wrong, and everything else is fine
[05:12] <Flannel> johnnytang24: the fact that you can boot at all surprises me.
[05:12] <hdz> jesus christ
[05:12] <johnnytang24> bulmer : yeah
[05:12] <zbadone> is 1100 FPS in glxgears OK?
[05:12] <cchanc1>  /me goes and lifts weights to get the anger and frusteration out
[05:12] <kitche> zbadone: yes
[05:12] <hdz> i can lay out blasphemy but cant cuss
[05:12] <zbadone> the gears seem to spin slowly
[05:12] <Flannel> mabus: I sent you there when I thought you just needed kernel parameters, not that you had built your own rd
[05:12] <Squee> zbadone: glxgears is not a benchmark : /
[05:12] <johnnytang24> Flannel : yeah, me too.  I thought maybe lilo supported LVM now.  Apparently not
[05:12] <Warbo> hdz: If anyone here had one they would say. I, for one, do not want to see 930 "I haven't" messages
[05:12] <Flannel> cchanc1: 64bit is supported.  As long as you don't need anything proprietary that you can't use a chroot for
[05:12] <johnnytang24> bulmer : Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
[05:12] <zbadone> yes, I know that, but with my ti4200 they flew fast, now with my NV6200 they scrawl
[05:12] <mabus> Flannel: so you don't know how to make a package stop trying to install itself?
[05:13] <mabus> without removing my kernel?
[05:13] <Squee> zbadone: it is mearly a test if 3d is working.
[05:13] <hdz> i appricate your sarcasm warbo
[05:13] <Not-Mnf> Squee: check your pm bro
[05:13] <bulmer> johnnytang24: sorry cant help you dude..i have not toyed with LVM
[05:13] <EvanS> hey, whenever i try to put in my password for the networking section it tells me that it's wrong, and everything else is fine
[05:13] <zbadone> Squee: yes, I know, ti4200-64 meg, they flew, NV 6200 256M they crawl
[05:13] <Squee> Not-Mnf: dont have one

[05:13] <cchanc1> after i get this fixed i am makein a huge backup of my system, and never touching it
[05:13] <Flannel> mabus: that'd be a dpkg thing, not an apt-get thing
[05:13] <bulmer> EvanS: what networking sesssion ?
[05:13] <Not-Mnf> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:13] <Not-Mnf> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[05:13] <zbadone> just trying to figure out why?
[05:14] <Not-Mnf> wops sorry
[05:14] <bulmer> EvanS: what networking section rather?
[05:14] <EvanS> system>administration>networking
[05:14] <mabus> Not-Mnf: you have synaptic open
[05:14] <hdz> unlock?
[05:14] <Not-Mnf> wops
[05:14] <Asc> hdz: I think blasphemy's fine as long as you don't swear.  Don't quote me on it though.
[05:14] <hdz> thats odd
[05:14] <Music_Shuffle> Not-Mnf, or the software updater thing that runs in the system tray.
[05:14] <bulmer> Evans do you have a root password?
[05:14] <EvanS> i think so
[05:14] <Flannel> mabus: perhaps with 'hold'
[05:14] <mabus> Flannel: okay, well how do I get dpkg to stop trying to install it, then?
[05:14] <Not-Mnf> thanx
[05:14] <hdz> asc: i'm not, because you just contradicted yourself :)
[05:14] <mabus> hold?
[05:14] <zbadone> Squee: is there a benchmark tester for glx?
[05:14] <johnnytang24> great, I can't shrink my partition either
[05:14] <Cippy> whoa, active channel
[05:14] <cchanc1> OK im trying this one last time.
[05:14] <cchanc1> !fuse
[05:14] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:15] <Squee> zbadone: not sure... i'll look around though because i'm curious about that too
[05:15] <hdz> im just tryin to lay this out on my new dual cpu with the usb wireless workin
[05:15] <mabus> Flannel: command not found, couldn't find package hold
[05:15] <EvanS> i just did a clean install of drake since my wifi wouldn't work with edgy
[05:15] <zbadone> any command line switches for glxgear?
[05:15] <Dreamglider> i have an old harddisk here and the partition manager says there is no partiton on it, is there any way i can retreive data the partiton is gone ?
[05:15] <hdz> -i love all you guys supportin thi sh*t
[05:15] <Flannel> mabus: no no, it's a dpkg thing.  man dpkg for more info
[05:15] <EvanS> and now i want to get it working now
[05:15] <Cippy> hey guys, I'm having trouble booting off a Live CD, can someone help me?
[05:15] <Asc> hdz: For example, some people would consider using 'jesus' as an exclamation to be blasphemy, but most people don't consider it an expletive.
[05:16] <davidm_> A big hello to all you Linux people!

[05:16] <Dreamglider> Cippy,  what seems to be the problem ?
[05:16] <cchanc1> I get the error: Volume is dirty. Run chkdsk and try again, or use the --force option. Mount failed
[05:16] <cchanc1> How do i run chkdsk
[05:16] <Cippy> Dreamglider: there's a kernel panic every time i attempt to boot
[05:16] <priboy> ?
[05:16] <zbadone> Squee: thanks, will try to do it now
[05:17] <Squee> your welcome
[05:17] <Dreamglider> Cippy, did you check the cd for errors ?
[05:17] <johnnytang24> so I can't shrink the / partition.  I can't run lilo on an LVM.  I could make a boot cd that uses a ramdisk.  Any other ideas?
[05:17] <Cippy> it happened with 2 CDs I've tried

[05:17] <cchanc1> Volume is dirty.
[05:17] <cchanc1> Run chkdsk and try again, or use the --force option.
[05:17] <cchanc1> Mount failed
[05:17] <cchanc1> how do i run chkdsk
[05:17] <Dreamglider> Cippy, did you check them with the option on the boot menu ?
[05:18] <Cippy> it kernel panics when i do that too
[05:18] <Dreamglider> Ok
[05:18] <sidlay> Can someone help me install ubuntu

[05:18] <Squee> sidlay: if you can ask more specific questions :P
[05:18] <Flannel> johnnytang24: just... install GRUB
[05:18] <Asc> hdz: Uh, just as a point of curiosity - are you using 64-bit ubuntu?  32-bit probably has better hardware support, and will still work with x86-64
[05:18] <Dreamglider> looks like somthing os wrong with the harddisk

[05:19] <mabus> swat!
[05:19] <GateWar> I love Hobbsee.
[05:19] <Dreamglider> Cippy, yea but that's just what i think it looks like, im not very keen when it comes to this linux thing
[05:19] <Hobbsee> GateWar: language, mate...
[05:19] <GateWar> its cool
[05:19] <Rotund> Can someone tell me when the freeze date is for Feisty?
[05:19] <GateWar> i understand
[05:19] <Squee> sidlay: ?
[05:20] <GateWar> I had a rush of blood.
[05:20] <Hobbsee> !schedule | Rotund
[05:20] <ubotu> Rotund: Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Feisty Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule
[05:20] <erisco> how do you uninstall a deb package that you installed?
[05:20] <cablesm102> erisco, sudo aptitude remove PACKAGENAME
[05:20] <Cippy> Dreamglider: Currently that disk is running Windows 2000 perfectly fine; I've never had any problems with it.
[05:20] <erpo> Why is there a package for lirc-modules-source in ubuntu instead of a package that just installs precompiled modules?
[05:20] <Cippy> But I don't have another computer to test my disks on at the moment
[05:20] <erpo> Is it a political problem?
[05:20] <hdz> rm -rf /bin/laden
[05:21] <Jordan_U> erisco: sudo dpkg -r /path/to/.deb or double click it and then click remove
[05:21] <Rotund> Other question, is Feisty decent for day to day use?
[05:21] <sidlay> squee PM
[05:21] <Rotund> Thinks like X aren't broken right now, right?
[05:21] <Squee> Rotund: If you can deal with packages breaking yes
[05:21] <hdz> is this distribution similar to knoppix
[05:21] <Flannel> Rotund: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty questions.  But, doubt it.  It's Alpha
[05:21] <Shadowpillar> my edgy upgrade went flawlessly
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Rotund: If you don't mind the possibility of having to reformat at any given moment, maybe :)
[05:22] <Rotund> It's 6 days from freeze
[05:22] <hdz> feisty is out everywhere, what version is it??
[05:22] <momo> how wopuld i go about mounting a shared windows folder that has all my videos?
[05:22] <Squee> sidlay: I dont have any pm's...
[05:22] <Hobbsee> Rotund: no

[05:22] <Squee> sidlay: I just did
[05:22] <Shadowpillar> wait what
[05:22] <sidlay> wierd
[05:22] <davidm_> I have a question. Why do my screensavers cut off halfway and only show at the top half of the screen.
[05:22] <Rotund> sorry, feature freeze
[05:22] <hdz> is fiesty above edgy?
[05:22] <Shadowpillar> Feisty is out?
[05:22] <Hobbsee> davidm_: install rss-glx
[05:22] <Hobbsee> Shadowpillar: no
[05:22] <hdz> yes
[05:22] <Hobbsee> hdz: yes
[05:23] <davidm_> Ok will give it a try.
[05:23] <hdz> it's on torrents everywhere
[05:23] <Hobbsee> Shadowpillar: teh final version isnt out
[05:23] <Squee> sidlay: just ask your questions in here, that way people can correct me
[05:23] <Hobbsee> hdz: herd 3 != final.  please dont spread misinformation.
[05:23] <hdz> i should've burned that instead of edgy
[05:23] <Shadowpillar> Hobbsee: when is fiesty due to be out?
[05:23] <hdz> it's not mis
[05:23] <sidlay> Squee: Im trying to figure out what i need to do to install ubuntu, im at the part where i need to decide what partition to use
[05:23] <hdz> it's information
[05:23] <Hobbsee> Shadowpillar: april
[05:24] <Squee> sidlay: you mean what filesystem?
[05:24] <ks1> herd 3 isnt final
[05:24] <hdz> never said it was
[05:24] <Hobbsee> hdz: it's *not* final, it's buggy.  it's a beta.

[05:24] <mabus> how do I set the hold flag on a package?
[05:24] <Rotund> Whoa, whoa.  Average person should probably NOT be using Feisty.
[05:25] <erpo> Can I pin the kernel?
[05:25] <erpo> I mean, if I pin the kernel, will it break anything?
[05:25] <xtknight> erpo: by pin, you mean pin it to a specific version?
[05:25] <hdz> i just know i saw feisty everywhere and it's supposed to be an early alpha above edgy
[05:25] <erpo> xtknight: Yes, exactly.
[05:26] <hdz> like the average person shouldn't use an alpha of an coming slackware back in 96?
[05:26] <xtknight> erpo: not unless one of the updates requires a new kernel.  generally it won't break anything.  but it is always recommended to use the kernel updates.  is there a reason why you want to pin it?
[05:26] <hdz> gimme a break
[05:26] <davidm_> I did a Linuxmint install and was fairly happy with it. But I would rather stay pure with Ubuntu I guess EasyUbuntu is just one step more than LM for an complete install...
[05:26] <Squee> Does anyone here know how to use brctl to create a bridge between my wireless network and the cat5 going from one of my laptop's to the other?
[05:27] <Hobbsee> hdz: you did hear that a recent update of feisty deleted ~?
[05:27] <Sumguy21`> n
[05:27] <hdz> you dont need a cat5 bridge
[05:27] <Squee> hdz: what do you mean
[05:27] <xtknight> Hobbsee: which update would that be?
[05:27] <hdz> i have feisty d/l'd
[05:27] <erpo> xtknight: Yes. I am now going through the manual (from source) installation of the second kernel module in two days because they're not in Edgy, and it's a huge pain. If my kernel gets updated, I will have to re-do all that work. So I want to pin the kernel.
[05:27] <Hobbsee> xtknight: for feisty.  i dont remember.  it was fixed though.
[05:28] <Sumguy21`> How do I access a camera memory card?  Do I need to install any software?
[05:28] <hdz> you dont need a bridge for your counterpart to work
[05:28] <jenia6230> hi, how can i make firefox to start x-chat when i search in PACKETNEWS.COM
[05:28] <jenia6230> ?
[05:28] <xtknight> i wonder how such a thing happens (like deleting the home dir)
[05:28] <Squee> my other laptop doesn't have wireless working.  My ubuntu one does.  I want to share the internet from this laptop, to the one sitting next to me through ethernet, or any other way that would work
[05:28] <hdz> that's a ridiculous quesiton
[05:28] <hdz> heh
[05:28] <ks1> jenia6230, that is possible BUT it wont copy the needed information to paste :P
[05:28] <mindstate> Sumguy21`, try digikam
[05:28] <xtknight> i mean dont get me wrong but that oughta be a rare programming error ;)
[05:28] <mindstate> Sumguy21`, sudo apt-get install digikam
[05:28] <cchanc1> !NTFS-3G
[05:28] <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.

[05:28] <xtknight> oops i accidentally formatted the C drive...hehe
[05:29] <hdz> when this os is install'd
[05:29] <jenia6230> i dont care i just dont have all the network that i need in x-chat
[05:29] <hdz> you gotta sudo to apt-get everytime?
[05:29] <bulmer> Squee get yourself a hub/switch and configure your other computer to use your laptop as gateway to internet
[05:29] <hdz> what happened to su root
[05:29] <Falkon4860> What's the best way to get a recent version of emerald, and will I need anything else (besides xgl and compiz) to use this compiz theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=46860 ?
[05:29] <Hacim07> jenia6230:try the mozex extension
[05:29] <xtknight> erpo: i see.  personally i would just go through the trouble but i am a bit of a masochist
[05:29] <mabus> Hobbsee: do you know how to set the hold flag on a package with dpkg or dselect?
[05:30] <Squee> bulmer: that isn't an option right now... see... i'm poor ^_^.  I'd like to know how to use brctl anyway
[05:30] <hdz> these xeons are so hot, i can light a cigarette off it right now :P
[05:30] <xtknight> if you hold a flag with dpkg, update-manager wont listen though
[05:30] <xtknight> you have to do the Pin
[05:30] <Sumguy21`> ANy suggestions on how to access my MP3 player device?  Its a Creative Zen V, not an ipod
[05:30] <hdz> slackware runnin dual xeon 100%, windows 55%
[05:30] <manaf> it worked Squee thanks alot bro ;)
[05:30] <Hobbsee> mabus: man dpkg.  not offhand - you're looking at "set selections" though
[05:30] <bulmer> Squee: its time or money, hub/switch now adays are inexpensive, you dont need a huge cisco unit
[05:30] <Squee> manaf: no problem :D
[05:31] <Hobbsee> xtknight: actually, if you're holding it back with dpkg, it will, no matter how you update
[05:31] <Squee> bulmer: this is a temporary solution... like for a day until i can get gentoo set up on the other laptop
[05:31] <hdz> bulmer: i concur nigga
[05:31] <xtknight> Hobbsee: different from aptitude hold?
[05:31] <davidm_> I bought an Intel Express 510T Switch for $15 at a computer swap meet.
[05:31] <bulmer> Squee: also you cant just lash up two pc togerther without a null-cable or a hub
[05:31] <erpo> xtknight: Should I pin linux-generic? Or the package that contains the actual kernel image.
[05:31] <Falkon4860>  What's the best way to get a recent version of emerald, and will I need anything else (besides xgl and compiz) to use this compiz theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=46860 ?
[05:31] <Hobbsee> xtknight: yes.  apt wont listen to aptitude hold, iirc....may be differnent now
[05:31] <xtknight> erpo: linux-generic, the meta package, is what actually gets updated.  so pin linux-generic
[05:31] <Squee> bulmer... yes you can.  i've seen it done
[05:31] <Hobbsee> Falkon4860: ask in #beryl for beryl stuff
[05:32] <Falkon4860> why beryl?  Is there not one specifically for compiz?
[05:32] <jenia6230> mozex didnt work or just dont know how to use it
[05:32] <bulmer> Squee you need a null-cable as minimum, you follow?
[05:32] <xtknight> erpo: well it cant hurt to pin the other one too.  just in case it uses the same package nae (like 2.6.17-10) but theres like a small rev update or something.  just pin obth
[05:32] <hdz> approx how many gigs does install come to after all updates
[05:32] <xtknight> both*
[05:32] <Squee> bullmer: null-cable... no i have no idea what that is... is it a crossover?
[05:32] <BillHates> hello earthlings.
[05:33] <erpo> xtknight: Thanks.
[05:33] <Sumguy21`> Yo!  Anybody figure out if UBUNTU will allow me to use my MP3 Player?  Its a Creative Zen V
[05:33] <davidm_> I am not from Earth
[05:33] <hdz> null for cable is another word for crossover
[05:33] <Music_Shuffle> Sumguy21`, yes.
[05:33] <BillHates> are you from uranus?
[05:33] <bulmer> Squee yes thats the other name for it..
[05:33] <davidm_> Backwards planet with hatred all over
[05:33] <Squee> heh, ok i'll go grab one of those
[05:33] <hdz> utp
[05:34] <Sumguy21`> HOW my friend?  What program should I use?
[05:34] <Squee> most routers are smart enough to tell the difference and use whichever instead of using crossover... i was hoping the laptop would do the same
[05:34] <azahid> any one knows how to enable mp3 preview in gnome? i have mpg123 installed in my machine and preview setting is also correct in nautilus. what else i need to do?
[05:34] <pianoboy3333> It seems to me that sound juicer is ripping my cd's oober slow, like one per 15 minutes... does this seem irregular to anyone here?
[05:34] <Cippy> Help me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2098830#post2098830
[05:34] <jenia6230> how do i add notworks to xchat, where do i get their server data?
[05:35] <bulmer> Squee: most routers can't detect a crossover cable
[05:35] <andre_> does anybody know how to configure a webcam
[05:35] <xtknight> Cippy: youll probably get help quicker if you rephrase your question in this channel.  many wont bother to click links
[05:35] <jenia6230> never mind
[05:35] <Sumguy21`> RESPONSE?
[05:35] <bulmer> jenia6230: are you referring to like undernet, freenode, etc?
[05:35] <jenia6230> yep
[05:35] <Squee> bulmer: the 3 we have set up in our house do.  we dont use any crossover here
[05:35] <jenia6230> but never mind google helped me
[05:36] <bulmer> click on the server menu, there you would see the list
[05:36] <jenia6230> 10x anyway
[05:36] <hdz> um
[05:36] <bulmer> Squee: routers do not detect cross over cables
[05:36] <hdz> my crossovers are all set up manually, my router detects them
[05:36] <bulmer> if a TX is on a TX, you'd get an error
[05:37] <Jordan_U> Cippy: I would probably go with Xubuntu on that machine, and use the alternate CD also, did you check the CD integrity though?
[05:37] <yuk> anybody know how to config screen with resolution of 1024x512?
[05:37] <xtknight> yuk: add a modeline in xorg.conf
[05:37] <Cippy> Jordan_U: Do you mean the CD test that's in the menu?
[05:38] <bulmer> Squee can you elaborate on how your 3 computers are connected?
[05:38] <Jordan_U> Cippy: Yes.
[05:38] <davidm_> Night all, best of luck and thanks to the helpers!
[05:38] <yuk> xtknight: i use gtf to generate the modeline ,but it does not work
[05:38] <Cippy> Jordan_U: Yeah. I get a kernel panic when I do that too.
[05:38] <xtknight> yuk: crt or lcd?
[05:38] <Hatty> I think Juk just deleted all my music when it was supposed to organize it
[05:38] <yuk> lcd
[05:38] <garrettkajmowicz> Hi, everybody.  I'm trying to do what is probably my 20th Ubuntu installation.  Unfortunately, this time things aren't quite working.  I run the installer (server or desktop), and things break.  I'm running the server installer for 6.10 right now and it looks like it breakes after hardware detection.  When I use the available console, it looks like it can't see my hard drive (or DVD drive)
[05:39] <yuk> xtknight: gtf 1024 512 60
[05:39] <garrettkajmowicz> I have an ASUS AMD64 montherboard/dual core processor, with an NFORCE chipset.
[05:39] <xtknight> yuk: i'm assuming your lcd does not have 1024x512 in the edid.  so have you configured your graphics card to scale it to native for your lcd?  what does "does not work" mean?
[05:39] <Squee> bulmer: sure, we have a gateway connecting to my gig switch, from the gig switch to the wan port in my roomates router, and from the gigswitch into the wan port on my wireless router.  (i know switch != router but still no crossover cables are involved)
[05:39] <hdz> i
[05:39] <garrettkajmowicz> I can verify that that sata_nv is loaded, but I am unable to see any drives listed in /sys
[05:39] <drakkor> hey buntupeople,lol;
[05:40] <yuk> xtknight: the standard resolution is 1024x512, and in windows it's normal
[05:40] <xtknight> yuk: what's the model of the lcd?
[05:40] <Jordan_U> Cippy: have you tried booting with noapci?
[05:40] <bulmer> Squee i did not say you always need a crossover cable, only if you wanted a pc-to-pc directly
[05:40] <hdz> thats cause you got extensive routing, after complete network setup and dns crossover is fine
[05:40] <Sumguy21`> What programs can I use to add music to my Creative Zen??
[05:40] <Squee> ahh well ok
[05:40] <yuk> xtknight: a node book Fujitsu FMV 253L
[05:40] <garrettkajmowicz> My BIOS confirms that I have the DVD drive and the hard drive plugged in, but I am still unable to see the drives in order to install.
[05:41] <maxx18> when i try to 'reload' packages in synaptic, it keeps failing on the Translation-en_US... and as a result it takes AGES to reload... is there anything i can do about htis?
[05:41] <garrettkajmowicz> Thoughts?
[05:41] <Jordan_U> bulmer: Some PC's you don't need a crossover cable for
[05:41] <xtknight> yuk: just add it to the Modes list in xorg.conf:  "1280x1024" .. etc etc ... "1024x512".  then restart X, query available modes with `xrandr -q` and see if it appears.
[05:41] <sanddrag> how do I change the permissions on a folder owned by root?
[05:41] <Cippy> Jordan_U: How do I do that?
[05:41] <yuk> xtknight: thx
[05:41] <bulmer> Jordan_U: auto-detect tx and rx pairs? which nic card are those?
[05:41] <maxx18> sanddrag, i dont know how to do it from gnome... using the command line you could use chown i guess
[05:41] <sanddrag> how do I use that?
[05:42] <maxx18> open up a terminal
[05:42] <maxx18> sanddrag: then type sudo bash
[05:42] <maxx18> sanddrag: then cd to where the folder is... then chown <username> folder
[05:43] <maxx18> sanddrag: you could also use chmod i think
[05:43] <bulmer> Jordan_U: so you're telling me if I have a wrong cable(assuming its tx and rx are crisscrossed) it will just work pc-to-pc?
[05:43] <Jordan_U> bulmer: Does on my comp
[05:44] <bulmer> Jordan_U: and what you have it connected to? which nic card you have?
[05:44] <EvanS> fuck!!!
[05:44] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | EvanS
[05:44] <ubotu> EvanS: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:44] <EvanS> i try to install a wireless driver using ndisgtk and nothing appears under installed windows drivers afterward :(
[05:45] <garrettkajmowicz> I can confirm that I can boot off of the DVD drive - I just can't see it when running the busybox shell.
[05:45] <Jordan_U> bulmer: I have it connected directly to another computer, how do I find the nic?
[05:45] <rjm1982> Evan, which wireless card?
[05:46] <EvanS> DWL-G650M
[05:46] <hdz> ifconfig
[05:46] <EvanS> and this worked last time i had drake
[05:46] <sanddrag> maxx18, I don't get it
[05:46] <EvanS> ffs
[05:46] <Shadowpillar> how do I make use of network-manager?
[05:46] <Squee> bulmer:  I just tried enabling the bridge: "sudo brctl addbr br0" "sudo brctl addif br0 eth0" <wired "sudo brctl addif br0 eth3" < wireless.  It would seem as soon as I add my wireless connection in the bridge my internet cuts out on this computer.  Any ideas?
[05:46] <bulmer> Jordan_U: try ifconfig -a
[05:47] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar: Disable your wireless config in network-admin or in /etc/networking/interfaces
[05:47] <rjm1982> Evan, sorry, no info here from me on that card  :(
[05:47] <EvanS> :|
[05:47] <EvanS> thanks anyway i guess
[05:47] <rjm1982> Other than generic ndiswrapper advice...but im sure you've exhausted all of that
[05:48] <Jordan_U> bulmer: HWaddr 00:16:CB:8E:13:7C ?
[05:48] <Shadowpillar> Jordan_U: then what?
[05:49] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar: there should be an applet in your gnome-panel
[05:49] <ahaller> hi. is there a backport or something with that i can install apache2.2.xx on dapper? (apache2.0 doesnt work with mod_neko)
[05:49] <Shadowpillar> Jordan_U: there isnt
[05:49] <Squee> shadowpillar: in a terminal run nm-applet
[05:49] <Shadowpillar> Squee: thanks
[05:49] <Squee> np
[05:50] <Shadowpillar> Squee: "no networking devices found"
[05:51] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar: Can you post your /etc/network/interfaces ?
[05:51] <bulmer> Jordan_U: nope..
[05:51] <Jordan_U> *pastebin
[05:51] <Shadowpillar> Jordan_U: do I disable ath0 via that?
[05:51] <Squee> Shadowpiller: kill nm-applet and try this: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then relaunch nm-applet (this will kill your internet connection temporarily)
[05:51] <Shadowpillar> alright
[05:52] <bulmer> Jordan_U: can recall the command to show you your nic brand andmodel
[05:52] <Squee> Does anyone in here know how to bridge connections with brctl?
[05:52] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar: Yes, you need to comment out those lines by putting a # in front of them.
[05:52] <EvanS> FFS why the hell do i have this shitty os
[05:53] <Squee> EvanS: pardon?
[05:53] <EvanS> well, in total i've probably spent around 24 hours just trying to get working internet on this
[05:53] <Squee> well sorry to make you restate it again, but what is your problem with it
[05:54] <EvanS> and my wifi started working, then when i switched to edgy it stopped, so i just reinstalled drake
[05:54] <EvanS> i can't get my wifi working on my d-link g 650M
[05:54] <Squee> EvanS: broadcom?
[05:54] <usr13> I'm trying to get Ekiga to do video conferencing and it appears that the software is working ok, but not getting authentication with server.  So I'm thinking that I don't have necessary ports open.  How can I tell?
[05:54] <dimeo> evans: checked ubuntuforums.org for a tutorial or howto on your card?
[05:54] <EvanS> don't think so
[05:54] <EvanS> of course i have
[05:54] <EvanS> ffs
[05:55] <Squee> evans: ok, pull up a terminal and type "lspci | grep -i wireless" and post the result
[05:55] <dabaR> EvanS: be nice, he was checking, you would be amazed at how many people do not.
[05:55] <dimeo> ffs?  oooh take a pill
[05:55] <EvanS> now that i have ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installed
[05:55] <hdz>  ldpvi -vv |grep -i
[05:55] <EvanS> i try to select my driver and i click ok, and then nothing happens
[05:55] <EvanS> sorry dimeo that's probably a good idea though
[05:56] <EvanS> i mean to take a pill
[05:56] <Squee> EvanS: pull up a terminal and type "lspci | grep -i wireless" and post the result
[05:57] <dimeo> $ lspci | grep -i network   may also list something useful
[05:57] <EvanS> i got no results
[05:57] <Sumguy21`> What programs can I use to manage and add music on my Creative Zen!
[05:57] <dimeo> my dell wifi card comes up with that
[05:57] <shaneCO> so, I am trying to dual boot Linspire and Ubuntu on my hard disk.  So I have Linspire installed on one partition, and I tried to install Ubuntu on another.  Eventually I thought I had it, and I could boot into Ubuntu no problem, but then my Linspire wouldn't load.  It would show me the option to boot into it, but it wouldn't boot.  So then I put the Linspire install disk in and tried to fix that partition and now it just boots into Linspi
[05:57] <shaneCO> giving me the option
[05:57] <Squee> EvanS: try "lspci |grep -i ethernet"
[05:57] <mikeo1> yesterday was a great day, it was the day I switched over to ubuntu for good
[05:58] <Squee> mikeo1:  I would do that but I need my games.  But i'm very proud of you :D
[05:58] <sanddrag> I don't understand how to change the ownership of a folder from root to user
[05:58] <sanddrag> anyone help?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> shaneCO: From linspire try running: sudo update-grub
[05:58] <dimeo> rightclick properties.. permissions
[05:58] <EvanS> ethernet controller: atheros communications inc. : unknown device 0020 (rev 01)
[05:58] <rjm1982> Mikeo, good feeling, eh?
[05:58] <Squee> sanddrag: sudo chown username:groupname foldername (add a -r if you want all folders beneath it)
[05:58] <mikeo1> now if i could just get my ati hdtv wonder to work...
[05:59] <shaneCO> Jordan_U: ok thanks I will
[05:59] <n2diy_> sanddrag: that isn't a good idea, you aren't supposed to be owner of a folder owned by root.
[05:59] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: what should my /etc/network/interfaces file look like?
[05:59] <Squee> EvanS.  Do you have an ethernet connection right now for that computer?
[05:59] <dimeo> evans
[05:59] <sanddrag> it is the XAMPP share folder
[05:59] <mikeo1> not a big deal though cause i have another working tv card and the ati one never worked in windows anyway
[05:59] <sanddrag> I want to be able to save stuff to it
[05:59] <Squee> Shadowpillar: I honestly am not sure
[05:59] <EvanS> no
[05:59] <Squee> Shadowpillar: I left mine default and installed network-manager and it worked
[05:59] <mikeo1> rjm1982: really good feeling
[05:59] <Squee> EvanS.  You need to install linux-restricted-modules-common and the thing will work
[05:59] <Shadowpillar_> Jordan_U: what should my /etc/network/interfaces look like?
[06:00] <n2diy_> sanddrag: what is XAMPP?
[06:00] <Squee> EvanS: is it possible to get this computer internet temporarily though ethernet?
[06:00] <EvanS> if you link me to the download i can burn it onto a cdr
[06:00] <shaneCO> Jordan_U: unable to lookup ShaneCO via gethostbyname
[06:00] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar_: It should have everything but the lines concerning the "lo" interface commented out
[06:00] <Squee> EvanS: I'm not sure if it will have dependencies but sure hold on
[06:00] <EvanS> i don't want to go into that sque that'll take us a decade
[06:00] <Shadowpillar_> Jordan_U: did that, same error
[06:00] <Sumguy21`> WHat programs can I use to add music onto my creative Zen?
[06:01] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar_: Can you pastebin the file so I can check it?
[06:01] <bulmer> Squee bridging is between interfaces on same computer..thats what you wanted done right?
[06:01] <EvanS> i have gotten wired internet on this pc before but that took me another who knows how long
[06:01] <Squee> EvanS: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17/linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.17.7-10.1_all.deb
[06:01] <Squee> bulmer: yes
[06:01] <mikeo1> was also a great feeling to install the dvorak keyboard layout as the default
[06:01] <bulmer> Squee you laptop have multiple nic cards?
[06:01] <Sumguy21`> Is ubunto only for Ipod usage?  Where is the love for Creative Zen V ?
[06:01] <n2diy_> mikeo1: Congrats, I use the Dvorak too.
[06:02] <Squee> bulmer: it has a wireless card which is active right now, and a ethernet port which has a crossover cable plugged into my other laptop
[06:02] <mikeo1> yeah its way better
[06:02] <Shadowpillar_> Jordan_U: my main problem is my wifi card doesn't work all of a sudden
[06:02] <Ratty> Can anyone tell me what I should go about doing, whenever I start up the ubntu cd and it goes into Xserver and my LCD says "Display not found"... Like the res. or hertx is  messed up ? I tryed changing the VGA of it to 800x600 and it actually gets to Xserver, but the screen is just a blur and cant see anything
[06:02] <Shadowpillar_> the newer madwifi drivers hate me
[06:02] <EvanS> ok i'm burning it
[06:02] <Shadowpillar_> AR5212
[06:02] <dimeo> EvanS:  ure working on a laptop?
[06:02] <bulmer> squee oh okay
[06:02] <rjm1982> mikeo, would like to switch to dvorak myself, but too difficult to me...
[06:02] <mikeo1> up to about 40-50 wpm with it right now
[06:02] <hdz> disable eth0 get wifi working first
[06:02] <EvanS> yes
[06:02] <Squee> EvanS:  just so ya know, your atheros card (which atheros rocks) needs the madwifi drivers.  You can install them manually and it will work from madwifi-ng's site... but installing them though linux-restricted-modules-common will make it work after a reboot.
[06:02] <rjm1982> Sumguy, no love for Zune, either!  :)
[06:03] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar_: Can you please pastebin your /etc/networking/interfaces ?>
[06:03] <EvanS> ok lemme finish this first
[06:03] <dimeo> EvanS:  im envious... you have a good wifi card that can do monitor mode 8-)
[06:03] <Shadowpillar_> Jordan_U: doing so
[06:03] <Squee> dimeo: screw monitor mode... it can packet inject
[06:04] <Shadowpillar_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3921/
[06:04] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know of a P2P filesharing program (other than Limewire/Frostwire - ick!) that actually works?
[06:04] <dimeo> my broadcom can't with ndiswrapper
[06:04] <dimeo> ummm bittorent?
[06:04] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: nicotine
[06:04] <Jordan_U> spasticteapot: bittorrent
[06:04] <spasticteapot> Nicotine?
[06:04] <killux_> how can i run dual monitors on ubuntu with and ATI binary driver
[06:04] <Squee> spasticeapot: pirates are bad... but azureus or amule
[06:04] <rjm1982> Im just happy with a wireless card that works...though its brainless now...broadcom kicked my butt for so long...now its like a 2 minute process...but it sucked when iwas first getting into it
[06:04] <Squee> killux: the aticonfig should be able to set up dualhead
[06:04] <spasticteapot> Squee: I paid for BBC America. My VCR went boom.
[06:04] <spasticteapot> I want my Doctor Who!
[06:04] <killux_> could you give me an example
[06:04] <n2diy_> rjm1982: there is a Dvorak trainer in one of the game repos, it wouldn't take you long to learn it.
[06:05] <dimeo> rjm1982: ndiswrapper is a rite of passage into ubuntu laptop heaven
[06:05] <killux_> not mirror image, dual head
[06:05] <rjm1982> but nobody makes a computer quite like hp's xd8xxx series...for the right price...so im stuck with this one
[06:05] <Squee> spasticteapot: fair enough ^_^
[06:05] <spasticteapot> dimeo: Not if you've got a thinkpad!
[06:05] <Shadowpillar_> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3921/
[06:05] <Sumguy21`> Zune, Zen, Zach.............NO!  Just like every other band wagon going with freaking apple and their little ipod frenzy.  I'm so Chaffed that I cant use a simple external mp3 player.  Any help would be nice!
[06:05] <EvanS> ok it's done burning
[06:05] <Squee> ndiswrapper is icky...
[06:05] <spasticteapot> Shadowpillar_: Nicotine?
[06:05] <bulmer> Squee: my notes says..   ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0; ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0; brctl addvr br0; brctl addr br0 eth0; brctl addbr br0 wlan0; ifconfig br0 10.15.5.2; route add default gw 10.15.6.1
[06:05] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: ye
[06:05] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: yes*
[06:06] <dimeo> spasticteapot: I'm not sure about that... we were working on fixing an R series that freezes under windows.. tried ubuntu and it froze too...
[06:06] <spasticteapot> Is it in Synaptic?
[06:06] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: it's for slsk
[06:06] <spasticteapot> slsk?
[06:06] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: but for doc who eps, you want to go to a BT tracker
[06:06] <bulmer> Squee cant type..lol
[06:06] <spasticteapot> dimeo: Try replacing the thermal paste and re-seating the PSU.
[06:06] <Squee> bulmer: thanks: I'll play around with that
[06:06] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: should be, if not, enable your universe repository
[06:06] <Squee> I read something about making the ip's all 0's but it didn't make sense to me...
[06:06] <spasticteapot> Bittorrent will not work over my internet connection; I'm a bit fed up with trying to make it do so.
[06:07] <EvanS> ok i've got the cd in the laptop, now what
[06:07] <dimeo> spasticteapot: thx  good tips.. anything can happen to lappys
[06:07] <spasticteapot> I'm a laptop specialist of sorts.
[06:07] <bulmer> Squee umm bridging is broadcasting right?  0.0.0.0 is broadcast address
[06:07] <Sumguy21`> Will someone wipe my ass?  I'm a baby to Ubuntu.  How do I use an MP3 player other than an ipod?
[06:07] <spasticteapot> Er...what Mp3 player?
[06:07] <Squee> bulmer: that would make sense...
[06:07] <dimeo> Squee: whats packet inject?
[06:07] <Sumguy21`> Creative Zen V
[06:07] <spasticteapot> Can it be configured as a USB hard drive?
[06:07] <EvanS> did everyone forget me?
[06:07] <n2diy_> rjm1982: the Dvorak package is called Dvorak7min.
[06:07] <spasticteapot> YYes.
[06:07] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar_: Sorry, that looks correct, I don't know what the problem could be, to get it working with regular network-admin just uncomment the lines again.
[06:07] <spasticteapot> EvanS: You will die alone and unloved.
[06:08] <bulmer> lolz
[06:08] <EvanS> ok i've got the cd in the laptop, now what
[06:08] <EvanS> ok i've got the cd in the laptop, now what
[06:08] <Squee> dimeo:  cracking wireless networks.  you can do fakeauth attacks after capturing an interesting packets.  It makes it so you can get alot of "interesting" packets so that a wireless network can be cracked in 10 - 30 minutes depending on the encryption
[06:08] <spasticteapot> EvanS: Turn it off, turn it on, boot into "live", and click "install". Configure as necessary, and let it run.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Squee: Yay for WPA2 :)
[06:08] <spasticteapot> Set the BIOS to boot off of the CD if it won';t work.
[06:08] <dimeo> Squee: thats what i meant by monitor mode.. which mode is injecting?
[06:08] <Sumguy21`> Well spasticteapot thanks for trying.  I'm not to sure about that
[06:08] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: what do you know about atheros cards?
[06:08] <archAngel23> i have a netgear MA101 usb wifi adapter, where or how would i locate the linux drivers? default waln don't work
[06:09] <EvanS> what are you talking about teapot??
[06:09] <archAngel23> wlan i mean
[06:09] <EvanS> squee can you start helping me again please
[06:09] <spasticteapot> EvanS: I presumed you were trying to install Ubuntu.
[06:09] <EvanS> no
[06:09] <Squee> Evans: sorry, i dont always catch messages without my name... copy the file to your harddrive and double click on it
[06:09] <dimeo> man this is like a bad episode of ER... bleeders all over the place
[06:09] <Mazus> does anyone know what would be causing this vlc error? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3888/plain/
[06:09] <Squee> ShadowPillar: what do you want to know about it?
[06:10] <EvanS> i have linux-restricted-modules-common on a cd
[06:10] <bulmer> just an fyi..I started an Ubuntu 6.06 install on an HP Vectra 4L P3-550MHz, that was two hours ago, its still attepmting to display the install 1st page
[06:10] <Squee> dimeo: i'm not sure, but i know it isn't monitor.  I think it is from managed mode
[06:10] <spasticteapot> bulmer: The Vectra series, IIRC, uses some unusual chipsets and hard drive configurations.
[06:10] <dimeo> bulmer: how much ram is in it?
[06:10] <EvanS> squee: it's  telling me that an older version is available in a software channel
[06:10] <Squee> Jordan_u: still has theoretical problems... but still miles ahead of the others.  It is what I run:D
[06:10] <bulmer> i have a whopping 192Megs
[06:10] <spasticteapot> dimeo: Yeah...that's probbably it.
[06:10] <fr500> bulmer: should try the alternate installer
[06:11] <spasticteapot> bulmer: Ditto.
[06:11] <Squee> EvanS: install it anyway if you can
[06:11] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: the AR5212
[06:11] <archAngel23> !netgear wifi drivers
[06:11] <spasticteapot> bulmer: I sell 128mb modules for $10 each.
[06:11] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: basically it doesn't work in edgy with the newer madwifi drivers at all
[06:11] <spasticteapot> Doubtless you could get some locally for not much more.
[06:11] <Squee> madwifi-ng?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> Mazus: My guess is that for some reason it couldn't detect the video codec, why though, I don't know
[06:11] <bulmer> spasticteapot: i have some more memories 64Megs though..lolz
[06:11] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: whatever edgy uses by default
[06:11] <EvanS> Squee: it installed
[06:12] <spasticteapot> Bulmer: RAM is all-important.
[06:12] <spasticteapot> I'm upgrading from 256mb to 1.25gb.
[06:12] <Squee> EvanS: restart it and see if the wireless is detected on reboot
[06:12] <spasticteapot> Even though I have just a 1ghz Pentium-M.
[06:12] <bulmer> spasticteapot: yep..this computer is way too old anyways :)
[06:12] <NoEvidenZ> You want lots of ram. This thing's only got 512 pc133 ram. =/
[06:12] <Mazus> hmm Jordan_U thanks anyway
[06:12] <spasticteapot> Bulmer: A replacement CPU (733mhz PIII) is maybe $8.
[06:12] <Squee> ShadowPillar: look for tutorials for setting up madwifi-ng... they work alot better and madwifi-old isn't supported anymore which as far as i know is what comes with ubuntu
[06:13] <spasticteapot> $20 and you'll be able to run Linux quite nicely.
[06:13] <turbolover> !md5

[06:13] <jenia6230> hi again. how can i add a script to xchat like this one (xdcc-client.pl)
[06:13] <spasticteapot> I've been setting up a whole lab along those lines - what a mess!
[06:13] <bulmer> spasticteapot: yes..it'd be nice
[06:13] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: because whatever was in dapper worked great
[06:13] <spasticteapot> jenia: If you are trying to spambot us, I will find your IP address, hunt you down, and eat your face.
[06:13] <Shadowpillar_> the new madwifi code is horribly broken
[06:13] <turbolover> hey any idea why my cds burn fine but then when i attempt to boot them it says bad magic number, what could i be doign to screw the iamges up?
[06:13] <Squee> ShadowPillar look on madwifi-ng's site to see if it is supported
[06:14] <bulmer> fr500 alternate installer is another cdrom right?
[06:14] <EvanS> Squee: how can i check if it detects the wifi card
[06:14] <Squee> iwconfig
[06:14] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: it should be
[06:14] <archAngel23> no one on the netgear wifi usb apapter ?
[06:14] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: I've had this problem before one several attempts to get the new code working
[06:14] <Squee> EvanS it should show ath0 in iwconfig or if not try ifconfig -a
[06:14] <fr500> bulmer: yes
[06:14] <Squee> ShadowPillar: what error do you get?
[06:15] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: looking at google it seems to be a common problem with that chipset
[06:15] <bulmer> fr500 okay ill see if can get it downloaded and burned
[06:15] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: no error, that's the odd part
[06:15] <EvanS> archangel: i had a netgear wifi usb adapter, it won't work trust me
[06:15] <fr500> archAngel23: maybe with ndiswrapper
[06:15] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: it lists ap's
[06:15] <fr500> !ndiswrapper
[06:15] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:15] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: it shows signal and everything
[06:15] <jenia6230> dude i served in the army i will skin you for that ;) . but no i just want an easy way to see what pack are there on servers like hqirc.
[06:15] <EvanS> Squee: no wireless extensions
[06:15] <Shadowpillar_> Squee: but it won't connect to anything, open or encrypted
[06:15] <Jordan_U> archAngel23: Try to get wireless cards that are known to work in Linux, and PCI is always > USB adaptor :)
[06:15] <Squee> EvanS: is there either a wifi0 or an ath0?
[06:16] <EvanS> just lo and sit0
[06:16] <Squee> Shadowpillar... actually that is a problem I'm having with my other laptop in windows.  It associates with AP's but wont recieve an IP adress
[06:16] <bulmer> archAngel23: just for a comparison, am using an el cheapo Airlink101 usb wifi card..windows will not even install its Un-signed drivers...but it works on ubuntu
[06:16] <archAngel23> just using what i had, i figured if windows made it work, so would feisty, ok thanks
[06:16] <Squee> ShadowPillar: i dont know what to tell you other than try to take it up with your manufacturer
[06:16] <EvanS> squee: just lo and sit0
[06:16] <EnsignRedshirt> If I want to transfer files with scp to a remote computer, does the remote computer have to be running sshd?
[06:16] <bulmer> EnsignRedshirt: yes
[06:17] <EnsignRedshirt> bulmer: Thanks, I thought so.
[06:17] <spasticteapot> Er...does anyone know how to set up Nicotine?
[06:17] <jenia6230> so any1 know where can i find a good xdcc klipper for xchat?
[06:17] <Squee> EvanS: type in dmesg and look for errors or anything about atheros (dmesg | grep -i atheros)
[06:17] <turbolover> any idea why i get a bad magic number error when trying to boot a disc i burned when the md5 checksum is correct?
[06:17] <gantry> I'm not used to ubuntu
[06:17] <gantry> can someone tell me how to change my screen resolution
[06:17] <bulmer> turbolover: was the md5sum okay before you burned it?
[06:18] <andrew_is> how can i use aim for linux on ubunty
[06:18] <EvanS> Squee: i didn't get anything back from that
[06:18] <Jordan_U> gantry: do you have the correct video drivers installed?
[06:18] <bulmer> turbolover: use the slower speed for burning too..4x max
[06:18] <turbolover> bulmer: well i burned it and got the error then checked the iso file
[06:18] <bclough> Hello kind Ubuntu users, I am having issues with my pentium M processor getting stuck at 600 MHz, can anyone suggest how to get it to run at the full speed of 1.6 GHz?
[06:18] <gantry> I probably do
[06:18] <turbolover> i did
[06:18] <gantry> all I did was change to a different monitor
[06:18] <Jordan_U> andrew_is: Gaim
[06:18] <gantry> the new monitor should do 1600x1200
[06:18] <andrew_is> it wont work
[06:18] <turbolover> the cd will only burn at 4x
[06:18] <Squee> EvanS: try dmesg |grep -i madwifi
[06:18] <gantry> but that isn't a menu pick
[06:18] <bulmer> turbolover: was the md5sum okay before you burned it? compare it beforehand
[06:19] <Ratty> Can anyone tell me what I should go about doing, whenever I start up the ubntu cd and it goes into Xserver and my LCD says "Display not found"... Like the res. or hertx is  messed up ? I tryed changing the VGA of it to 800x600 and it actually gets to Xserver, but the screen is just a blur and cant see anything
[06:19] <EvanS> squee: i did find in the plain dmesg somehing saying that ndiswrapper initialization failed
[06:19] <Squee> Ratty: use the alternate install disk... sorry for the ratty solution but most of the fixes for that kind of stuff are after you install ubuntu
[06:19] <gantry> anyone?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> gantry: You can enter new resolutions in your xorg.conf manually or use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[06:19] <turbolover> the iso is fine its checksum matches what is on the checksum list file i didnt check the cd though
[06:19] <EvanS> Squee: no response for that either
[06:19] <Squee> EvanS: "sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper".  You shouldn't have to use that
[06:20] <dromer> !dhcp
[06:20] <spasticteapot> Shadowpillar_: How do I get a username/password for Soulseek?
[06:20] <ubotu> dhcp: DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0pl5-19.4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 108 kB, installed size 308 kB
[06:20] <EvanS> Squee: couldn't find package ndiswrapper
[06:20] <EvanS> wtf?
[06:20] <Squee> EvanS: try to tab complete it?
[06:20] <EvanS> huh?
[06:20] <rjm1982> Gantry: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[06:20] <Shadowpillar_> spasticteapot: just put one in
[06:20] <Shadowpillar_> it'll reg you
[06:20] <Ratty> Squee, PArdon, alternate install disk ?
[06:21] <EvanS> tab complete?
[06:21] <Squee> Evans: type in ndis and bash tab until text comes up
[06:21] <bulmer> turbolover: also mount the iso file first and look around to see do a cursory check if it is okay too
[06:21] <unperson> Ok, I don't get all the new code words in the synaptic config in edgy.  I see the normal updates and security repositories, but what are "proposed updates"?
[06:21] <spasticteapot> Shadowpillar_: Thanks!
[06:21] <Jordan_U> !tab | EvanS
[06:21] <ubotu> EvanS: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[06:21] <Squee> Ratty: go to ubuntu's site and go to download an iso.  Download ubuntu-alternate install disk.
[06:21] <EvanS> i see ndisgtk, ndiswrapper, and ndiswrapper-buginfo
[06:21] <Squee> EvanS remove em al
[06:22] <TheClaus> Hi all
[06:22] <Squee> HI clause
[06:22] <EvanS> but last time my wifi worked i was using ndiswrapper but ok
[06:22] <EvanS> could not open lock file
[06:22] <spasticteapot> Cannot log in - reason INVALIDPASS
[06:22] <turbolover> bulmer: thats what i checked was the iso file
[06:22] <TheClaus> I am trying to setup a game server on Ubuntu Server 6.10 and have already uninstalled iptables.  The port for the server is 28001.  Though I can't connect to it.  Any ideas?
[06:23] <spasticteapot> Shadowpillar_: What the heck is that?
[06:23] <Ratty> Squee, Oh woops, thanks for that tip. Can you tell me what is different between the two ?
[06:23] <bulmer> turbolover: you mounted it ?
[06:23] <EvanS> Squee: it says could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open
[06:23] <Squee> Ratty: alternate uses a safe gui to install it, desktop is a livecd with an installer.  Not your mistake but your hardware isn't supported as well so you have to resort to the other disk
[06:23] <Squee> EvanS: are you sudo?
[06:24] <Squee> EvanS: using ndiswrapper is for emulated support for cards that only work in windows.  As I know all atheros cards are natively supported by linux and there is no reason to use ndis for the windows driver emulation
[06:24] <EvanS> i dunno am i?
[06:24] <Ratty> Squee, Alright, thanks a lot
[06:24] <Squee> EvanS: type sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper
[06:24] <Squee> Ratty: Your welcome :D
[06:24] <EvanS> since when was it native linux??
[06:25] <turbolover> bulmer: how do i mount an image?
[06:25] <EvanS> the only driver there is on the website is for winxp and 2k
[06:25] <fr500> TheClaus: are you behind a router?
[06:25] <gantry> Jordan_U, I ran the dpkg-reconfigure command, but it still didn't give me a resolution option of 1600x1200
[06:25] <Squee> EvanS: A few years I believe
[06:25] <Squee> EvanS.  They handed out the specifications for linux people to write their own drivers.  taht is what madwifi-old and madwifi-ng are
[06:25] <EvanS> well i don't understand why i can't get it working how i did before on the exact same version of linux
[06:25] <bulmer> TheClaus: on same server, can you netstat -an and see if the port is listened to
[06:25] <TheClaus> fr500 yeah but even my desktop client in the same network can't connect to it
[06:26] <Jordan_U> gantry: What GFX card?
[06:26] <turbolover> gantry: go in to etc/X11/xorg.conf and add that resolution to the file
[06:26] <NeoMatrixJR24> is there a command to get the UUID for a partition?
[06:26] <gantry> perhaps this laptop's chip set doesn't go this high
[06:26] <fr500> TheClaus: can you copy the output of iptables-save to the pastebin?
[06:26] <EvanS> Squee: so will removing ndiswrapper help my wifi work?
[06:26] <bulmer> turbolover: use the -o loop option on mount
[06:26] <gantry> ATI Rage Mobility P/M AGP
[06:26] <TheClaus> fr500 I uninstalled iptables
[06:26] <Squee> EvanS: I'm not sure what you did last time, nor have I ever used ndiswrapper to set up a wireless card.  I actually went out and bought a nice 200 mw prism card
[06:26] <gantry> it's old
[06:26] <fr500> TheClaus: try it
[06:27] <gantry> ok, thanks anyway guys
[06:27] <Squee> EvanS: I think so.  I'm guessing Ndiswrapper is trying to take control of that card so madwifi can't
[06:27] <Jordan_U> gantry: Do you have fglrx installed?
[06:27] <TheClaus> fr500 what directory is it in
[06:27] <bulmer> TheClaus: you can check if there are any rules by typing   iptables -vL
[06:27] <EvanS> couldn't find package ndiswrapper
[06:27] <TheClaus> bulmer iptables not found
[06:27] <bulmer> TheClaus: as sudo root?
[06:27] <Squee> EvanS: Type in "sudo apt-get remove ndiswr" and bash tab
[06:28] <TheClaus> yes
[06:28] <bulmer> TheClaus: sudo /sbin/iptables -vL
[06:28] <Squee> EvanS: you didn't install ndiswrapper manually did you?
[06:29] <EvanS> ok it removed stuff
[06:29] <EvanS> i may have
[06:29] <FantasticFoo> what's the difference between xmms and audacious? what do you guys recommend?
[06:29] <TheClaus> bulmer not found.  Like I said I uninstalled it
[06:29] <EvanS> i don't have internet on here so i have to keep burning to cdrs
[06:29] <bulmer> okay
[06:29] <arrenlex> Could someone recommend some amazingly simple command for "display every second line of this text file"?
[06:30] <Squee> EvanS: ok now type dmesg and look at the last few lines.  Now type "sudo modprobe madwifi".  type dmesg again and see if there is any difference
[06:30] <TheClaus> do I need to install ineted
[06:31] <rjm1982> Anyone know of a quick/simple way to switch back and forth from dvorak to querty keyboard?  I am going to learn dvorak, but other people use this laptop...
[06:31] <EvanS> fatal: module madwifi not found
[06:31] <Squee> EvanS: nm it is "modprobe ath_pci"

[06:32] <Squee> EvanS: type ifconfig /a... what devices are there? (besides sit0 and lo)
[06:32] <arrenlex> Asc: Well, at need I could do it in java. I was kind of looking for something like cat file | somemagicalcommandwitharcanename
[06:33] <Jordan_U> aryan: .rmvb? is that Real media?
[06:33] <EvanS> just those 2
[06:33] <aryan> jordan_u: ues
[06:33] <arrenlex> Jordan_U: real media variable bitrate
[06:33] <Squee> aryan: try vlc... I think that can play it

[06:33] <aryan> VLC cant play rmvb
[06:33] <aryan> squee: vlc wont play it
[06:33] <arrenlex> aryan: Have you tried mplayer+w32codecs?
[06:33] <EvanS> squee: there's only lo and sit0
[06:33] <aryan> jodran_u yeh thats it
[06:34] <Asc> arrenlex: Yeah, can't really help you with that.  Bet I can do it in fewer lines than with java though. ;\
[06:34] <Squee> aryan:  the long way of doing it would be setting up a chroot and installing the official real media player for linux
[06:34] <aryan> arrenlex: how do i go about doing that? keep in mind im a noob to ubuntu
[06:34] <aryan> squee: ive done that but only get audio
[06:34] <arrenlex> aryan: Install the mplayer package (or mplayer-nogui if you want to run it from the command line)

[06:35] <EvanS> Squee!
[06:35] <Squee> EvanS: I'm not really sure what to do.  All the atheros cards i've encountere would be working by now.  Try rebooting again
[06:36] <NoEvidenZ> EvanS: Are you on a 64bit system?
[06:36] <MrCrowley> !Multiverse repository
[06:36] <EvanS> no i'm on an inspiron 4000, lol
[06:36] <NoEvidenZ> Er..
[06:36] <n2diy>  I got kppp working on my test box, but it is failing on sig 1, which, IIRC is because it is expecting my ISP to authenticate. Which file do I had "noauth" to, to stop this?
[06:36] <NoEvidenZ> I don't keep up with brand names.. >.>
[06:36] <EvanS> it's a pentium III
[06:36] <arrenlex> Asc: Oh xD Sorry, brainfart. while read line ; do if [ $a = "1" ]  ; a = 0 ; break ; else echo $line ; a = 1 ; fi ; done
[06:36] <arrenlex> ;)
[06:36] <NoEvidenZ> EvanS: Ah, ok.
[06:36] <aryan> arrenlex: how do i use those repositories?
[06:36] <MrCrowley> Anyone wanna walk me through jetting Java updated so I can run azureus?
[06:36] <NoEvidenZ> Have you tried the ndiswrapper?
[06:36] <aryan> arrenlex: whats the repository and how do i use it?
[06:37] <Squee> mcrowley: ubuntuguide.org
[06:37] <EvanS> *sigh
[06:37] <NoEvidenZ> EvanS: I have an atheros based card, never managed to get it to work.
[06:37] <EvanS> well, i can try ndiswrapper agaiiin
[06:37] <aryan> can someone please tell me how to play .rmvb on a 64 bit ubuntu 6.10 please
[06:37] <EvanS> since madwifi obviously doesn't do anything
[06:37] <Christoffer> Anyone who can code bash/perl available? I badly need something small done, would mean -a lot- to me.
[06:37] <Asc> arrenlex: That would look so much more cryptic in perl.
[06:37] <MrCrowley> I used the guide. The text will not seem to work in my terminal?
[06:37] <yukai> hello all, i was trying to install beryl on my thinkpad t43, following some guide, but i just didn't work.. any body here please help
[06:38] <NoEvidenZ> EvanS: Have you been to #madwifi?
[06:38] <dimeo> evans: find a howto and follow it exactly
[06:38] <EvanS> i don't want to yet
[06:38] <EvanS> i have
[06:38] <aryan> can someone please tell me how to play .rmvb on a 64 bit ubuntu 6.10 please
[06:38] <arrenlex> aryan: Do this:
[06:38] <arrenlex> aryan: wget http://seveas.imbrandon.com/pool/edgy-seveas/extras/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[06:38] <Squee> EvanS: #madwifi is usually a good place to get help... it usually takes a good while to get a response but they will probably be able to help you alot more
[06:38] <arrenlex> aryan: sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[06:39] <arrenlex> aryan: rm w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[06:39] <arrenlex> aryan: (those are all commands)
[06:39] <Squee> EvanS: I'm off to play with my network, Good luck
[06:39] <Jordan_U> arrenlex: Will that work with 64 bit ubuntu?
[06:39] <arrenlex> Jordan_U: The win32 codecs? xDD
[06:39] <n2diy>  I got kppp working on my test box, but it is failing on sig 1, which, IIRC is because it is expecting my ISP to authenticate. Which file do I had "noauth" to, to stop this?
[06:39] <danf_1979> Is there anyway to get a list of all installed packages?
[06:39] <EvanS> thanks squee
[06:39] <pavs> is ndiswrapper the only way to setup wireless network under linux environtment? I just installed ubuntu recently. Is there any default configuration that detects wireless setup and sintalls it. what other options do i have?

[06:39] <arrenlex> aryan: Are you running 64-bit ubuntu?
[06:39] <klypso> How do I reset or change the root password without screwing everything up?
[06:40] <Jordan_U> arrenlex: aryan is running 64bit ubuntu :)
[06:40] <aryan> arrenlex: yes
[06:40] <arrenlex> aryan: Oh. If you're running 64-bit you're toast as far as compatibility goes. No binary codecs, no flash...
[06:40] <FantasticFoo> is audacious in any official ubuntu repos?
[06:40] <arrenlex> aryan: unless you want to set up a chroot.
[06:40] <daviey> klypso, sudo passwd
[06:40] <miyako> I'm running into a weird problem where some gtk applications have no fonts and won't display text
[06:40] <aryan> arrenlex: i will do whatever will play rmvb
[06:40] <arrenlex> aryan: I strongly suggest running a 32-bit distro instead. You will not notice a performance difference under normal desktop use.
[06:41] <aryan> just tell me what to do =D
[06:41] <n2diy> klypso: you have a root user?
[06:41] <Jordan_U> aryan: Not quite as bad as arrenlex is saying, it is possible but it is a PITA
[06:41] <klypso> daviey: ah, but I messed with permissions and cannot sudo properly
[06:41] <klypso> yes
[06:41] <miyako> anyone got any idea?
[06:41] <klypso> I changed my group
[06:41] <arrenlex> aryan: Is there a link to the file? I want to see if I can play it.
[06:41] <daviey> klypso, do you have a user that can sudo (the original user)?
[06:41] <klypso> I wanted a seperate user and root password
[06:41] <aryan> arrenlex: do you want to download it?
[06:41] <n2diy> klypso: you created one?
[06:41] <arrenlex> aryan: Sure, whichever.
[06:41] <aryan> arrenlex: its a naruto episode
[06:41] <aryan> arrenlex: one second
[06:41] <klypso> just changed the user password from the root one
[06:42] <daviey> klypso, huh?
[06:42] <aryan> arrenlex:http://rapidshare.de/files/31172218/Naruto2.rmvb
[06:42] <arrenlex> Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. it's one of THOSE sites. >__<
[06:42] <daviey> klypso, root password from default is disabled.  sudo passwd" enables it
[06:42] <aryan> arrenlex: i cant exactly revert to 32 bit, i have done waaay too much mods on 64 bit to revert
[06:43] <dimeo> you install realplayer aryan?
[06:43] <arrenlex> aryan: "mods"?
[06:43] <klypso> daviey: I changed permissions so that a seperate password would be used for my user account and the root, and now I cannot sudo and also cannot use the root password I set
[06:43] <aryan> arrenlex: whats mods?
[06:43] <arrenlex> aryan: That's a good point. Realplayer might play realmedia.
[06:43] <aryan> dimeo: yes i have that
[06:43] <arrenlex> (22:42:47) aryan: arrenlex: i cant exactly revert to 32 bit, i have done waaay too much mods on 64 bit to revert
[06:43] <arrenlex> (22:43:17) aryan: arrenlex: whats mods?
[06:43] <dimeo>  no luck eh?
[06:43] <klypso> I can sudo when I first logon
[06:43] <aryan> arrenlex: real player wont play it
[06:44] <killux_> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1984799&postcount=41
[06:44] <klypso> but, the root password I though I set does not work
[06:44] <daviey> klypso, you need to edit /etc/group and allow sudo access to create a root passwd
[06:44] <aryan> arrenlex: real player doesnt play the video
[06:44] <killux_> it doesnt look like he enabled 3d accel
[06:44] <killux_> do you have to for dual monitors
[06:44] <aryan> arrenlex: all i get is audio
[06:44] <tecywiz121> hey, I have a fuse apfs home directory hacked together, and it works rather nicely, but gdm won't see it when it starts, so I have to manually set the $HOME variable to my home directory.
[06:44] <aryan> arrenlex: any help?
[06:45] <TheClaus> bulmer I ran netstat -ad and see the following
[06:45] <klypso> daviey: read-only file
[06:45] <tecywiz121> any ideas on how to make gdm 'see' my home directory?
[06:45] <pavs> anyone using konversation? everytime I run konversation the server list window opens up and it wont close no matter what you do. i can still use konversation but the window stays on top. what do i to close it or to goback to original default configuration
[06:45] <TheClaus> udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:28001           0.0.0.0:*
[06:45] <Indref> Channel name for the offtopic room plz..
[06:45] <aryan> arrenlex: dude you there?
[06:45] <killux_> do you need 3d accel for dual monitors?
[06:45] <NoEvidenZ> "error: You don't seem to have the curses headers installed"
[06:45] <Indref> !offtopic
[06:45] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:45] <NoEvidenZ> What would do I need to download to fix that?
[06:45] <Indref> Sweet.
[06:45] <daviey> klypso, if you have already set a root password then kill it with "sudo passwd -l root"  then recreate it with "sudo passwd".  To access root use the command "su" *not* sudo
[06:45] <klypso> daviey: also, the root password I set does not seem to work.  Can I reset it without root permissions?
[06:46] <bulmer> TheClaus: so it is listening on that port as udp protocol
[06:46] <EvanS> ffs i'm just going to reinstall win2k ubuntu networking is fucking ridiculous
[06:46] <daviey> klypso, no you *need* sudo access
[06:46] <tecywiz121> EvanS, whats up?
[06:46] <aryan> http://rapidshare.de/files/31172218/Naruto2.rmvb
[06:46] <daviey> EvanS, your f'ing ridiculous
[06:46] <klypso> daviey: but I need a password to sudo
[06:46] <EvanS> you won't be able to help me
[06:46] <Indref> EvanS, If you say so!
[06:46] <TheClaus> bulmer: yup but it doesn't connect.
[06:46] <EvanS> nobody else has
[06:47] <NoEvidenZ> He's having a problem with the Atheros drivers.
[06:47] <cyberyak> klypso, it is the users password in sudo
[06:47] <tecywiz121> EvanS, well, i'd like to know the problem so at the very least I can avoid it
[06:47] <klypso> sorry, tricky problem
[06:47] <TheClaus> I even ran nmap on my windows box and see nothing on that port
[06:47] <aryan> can someone please tell me how to play .rmvb files on a 64 bit distro of ubuntu 6.10?
[06:47] <meLon> Hey buddies, is there a good channel for help with fglrx?
[06:47] <aryan> can someone please tell me how to play .rmvb files on a 64 bit distro of ubuntu 6.10?
[06:47] <daviey> EvanS, go away then.  It works for us.  with that attitude nobody wants to help you
[06:47] <klypso> cyberyak: I changed the root password from the user password
[06:47] <arrenlex> aryan: Yeah, I can play it in mplayer.
[06:47] <killux_> do you need 3d accel for dual monitors?
[06:47] <bulmer> TheClaus: which application again uses this port 28001?
[06:47] <klypso> '<user> is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.'
[06:48] <meLon> killux_, are you talking to me?
[06:48] <EvanS> and i just reinstalled the ndis stuff because it worked last time
[06:48] <aryan> arrenlex: so what can i do? you are running 32 bit most likely
[06:48] <arrenlex> aryan: Yes.
[06:48] <TheClaus> bulmer: It is a game engine called Torque
[06:48] <daviey> klypso, I think if you load up the livecd you could mount the partition then edit /etc/groups
[06:48] <aryan> arrenlex: i need those eps to play man lol
[06:48] <killux_> anyone
[06:48] <NoEvidenZ> daviey: I've been where he is. I put my linux installation on another box and shared the network connection from my windows computer just to avoid the problems with the atheros chipset
[06:48] <EvanS> and now it just won't add in the gui when i tell it to
[06:48] <aryan> arrenlex: is there anything i can do?
[06:48] <killux_> meLon do u know?
[06:48] <EvanS> it just gives me blank
[06:48] <cpk1> Could use some help with simple iptables thing, trying to have my laptop access the internet through my desktop but iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE did seem to do it and I have made sure /etc/network/options says ip_forward=yes
[06:48] <cpk1> did not*
[06:48] <meLon> I'm sorry, i missread what you wrote
[06:48] <arrenlex> aryan: Your options are to live without Naruto, install a different distro, or set up a 32-bit chroot (which is kind of like "another ubuntu" inside this one which you can run programs in, like a jail)
[06:48] <klypso> daviey: that would let me use my user password to sudo things?
[06:48] <bulmer> TheClaus: how are you testing to connect to that port?
[06:48] <co_luchu^_^> who wanna making love with me
[06:49] <TheClaus> bulmer with the game client
[06:49] <klypso> daviey: as opposed to the unknown root password
[06:49] <daviey> klypso, yes, need to make the user an 'admin' i believe
[06:49] <aryan> arrenlex: how do i set up a chroot?
[06:49] <bulmer> TheClaus: on same machine? or from a dfferent one?
[06:49] <klypso> daviey: thank you.  I will try that.
[06:49] <arrenlex> aryan: Hold on a minute...
[06:49] <aryan> arrenlex: why cant 64 bit play rmvbs? that sucks
[06:49] <TheClaus> different
[06:49] <TheClaus> my windows xp box
[06:49] <cyberyak> Is there a way to install ubuntu (or any of the variants) without ACPI?
[06:49] <daviey> klypso, that would give you sudo access back.  then with sudo access you can enable the root account.  Remember you can't (default) login as root over ssh
[06:49] <bulmer> TheClaus: and nothing in between your windows and the ubuntu box?
[06:50] <bulmer> TheClaus: i meant no firewalls?
[06:50] <TheClaus> hmm
[06:50] <TheClaus> I'll turn off Windows Firewall
[06:50] <EvanS> alright daviey i'm leaving, be happy you guys lost a supporter who came in here week after week patiently asking for help and half the time either getting ignored or pointed to the wiki
[06:50] <bulmer> TheClaus: is your windows firewall on?
[06:50] <ubuntu_n00b> hello?
[06:50] <arrenlex> aryan: Because there is no open-source codec. The format is closed and proprietary. The only codec is realmedia's own.
[06:50] <NoEvidenZ> Guys, o
[06:50] <aryan> arrenlex: that sux
[06:50] <daviey> EvanS, your no loss.  don't want people with an attitude like yours
[06:51] <arrenlex> aryan: In a 32-bit environment, projects such as mplayer have found ways to use these codecs using a system similar to wine.
[06:51] <NoEvidenZ> Guys, I'm trying to build an installer, but it tells me I odn't have the curses headers. What does this mean, and how do I fix it?
[06:51] <Jordan_U> Sound just stopped working for me, nothing will play
[06:51] <juanchito2006> !write ntfs
[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about write ntfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:51] <aryan> arrenlex: cant i use crossover office?
[06:51] <arrenlex> aryan: Obviously a 64-bit player cannot use them because the codecs are 32-bit.
[06:51] <TheClaus> bulmer still no dice
[06:51] <cyberyak> Jordan_U, you using ARTS?
[06:51] <NoEvidenZ> !flame
[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flame - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:51] <NoEvidenZ> =[
[06:51] <aryan> arrenlex: cant i just install the windoes version of real player with crossover office?
[06:51] <NoEvidenZ> !curses
[06:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about curses - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:51] <EvanS> ok, bye everyone, thanks to all of you who tried to help me
[06:52] <Jordan_U> cyberyak: ARTS?
[06:52] <bulmer> TheClaus: can you tell me whats in between your windows client and the ubuntu server?
[06:52] <cyberyak> artsd for sound
[06:52] <ubuntu_n00b> Hey, can anyone help me out with something: I cannot push my desktop resolution past 1024
[06:52] <tecywiz121> gdm doesn't see my home dir at startup, but everything else does, any ideas?
[06:52] <TheClaus> just the router
[06:52] <TheClaus> a netgear router
[06:52] <arrenlex> aryan: a) I'd be surprised if cxoffice worked on a 64-bit system, but I'm not well-versed in these things ;  b) cxoffice is essentially wine with frills and a price tag
[06:52] <daviey> NoEvidenZ, have you googled the exact error msg?
[06:52] <NoEvidenZ> daviey: Yep, returned no results.
[06:52] <bulmer> TheClaus does it have a firewall on it too?
[06:52] <Jordan_U> EvanS: Try again later, linux gets better every day, and it really helps if you buy linux compatible hardware
[06:52] <arrenlex> aryan: That would be one way of running a 32-bit player. However, it's better to use a Linux player and chroot.
[06:52] <TheClaus> I have port forwarding on
[06:52] <cyberyak> Jordan_U, I have had that issue with artsd hanging on a different box.
[06:52] <arrenlex> aryan: A quick google search turned this up as a likely resource: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
[06:53] <EnsignRedshirt> Wow, that's wierd.  There is now a debian menu entry in my Applications menu.  I *think* it just showed up when I installed kmplot.
[06:53] <bulmer> TheClaus: well are all ports being forwarded?
[06:53] <daviey> NoEvidenZ, is it ncurses?
[06:53] <NoEvidenZ> The exact error message is: "error: You don't seem to have the curses headers installed"
[06:53] <TheClaus> I have 28001 being forwarded to the ubuntu server
[06:53] <EnsignRedshirt> ...or maybe that debian menu has been there for a while, and I just noticed it.
[06:53] <arrenlex> NoEvidenZ: install libncurses5-dev
[06:53] <illriginal> Question: Is there a key I can press that will automatically create a new folder for me?
[06:53] <NoEvidenZ> arrenlex: Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[06:54] <daviey> NoEvidenZ, sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
[06:54] <bulmer> TheClaus: but does the game app have a form of handshake to get back to the client? like the FTP passive/active kind ?
[06:54] <arrenlex> illriginal: In nautilus? Does F10 work?
[06:54] <illriginal> nope.. that works in kde
[06:54] <arrenlex> illriginal: Yeah, I run KDE. I was wondering if it was the same.
[06:54] <TheClaus> like a 21 and then 22
[06:54] <garrettkajmowicz> I'm trying to run the 6.10 installer and it dies after initializing my keyboard driver every time.  The server rescue console doesn't show it seeing my hard drives.
[06:55] <TheClaus> or 20 21
[06:55] <daviey> arrenlex, shift+ctrl+n
[06:55] <NoEvidenZ> daviey: Thanks.
[06:55] <TheClaus> i'll open up more consective ports
[06:55] <bulmer> TheClaus: something like that yeah
[06:55] <ubuntu_n00b> Will changing my xorg.conf allow me resolutions past 1024? anyone?
[06:55] <illriginal> shift ctrl and n creates a new folder?
[06:55] <daviey> illriginal, yes
[06:55] <illriginal> sweet
[06:55] <bulmer> TheClaus:  you need to find out from the game app developer/manuals to see which port they require you to have
[06:56] <fr0st> irc://irc.utorrent.com/utorrent-webui
[06:56] <daviey> ubuntu_n00b, what driver are you using, what hardware?  you need to add the resolutions to xorg.conf.  If they are supported they will show in "change resolution"

[06:59] <cyberyak> is there a way to do a minimal install with UBUNTU or select each package I want to instakk?
[06:59] <daviey> dougb, pretty stable but if you want to use beryl with xgl then it's borked
[06:59] <husky> Hi
[07:00] <daviey> cyberyak, use the server edition
[07:00] <cyberyak> thanks!
[07:01] <ubuntu_n00b> juanchito: im obviously no expert, but i have used knoppix liveboot cd to back up things to usb drive before.
[07:01] <cyberyak> I knew there was something simple I was overlooking.
[07:01] <n2diy_> daviey: did you get your root passwd issue straightened out?
[07:01] <dougb> daviey: i dont want to.  i mainly want to use it because 2.16.20 fixes the stupid IRQ error between the broadcom wifi w/ ndiswrapper and the nvidia proprietary driver
[07:01] <daviey> cyberyak, then add everything extra you want via packages.  ubuntu-desktop will install pretty much everything mind
[07:01] <daviey> n2diy, i was helping the guy
[07:01] <cyberyak> that's actually my problem ubuntu-desktop
[07:02] <n2diy_> daviey: ah, thats right, same question.:)
[07:02] <cyberyak> I have a laptop (and the conversation should end here) that doesn't truely support ACPI
[07:02] <husky> I've been trying to get wol to work on my ubuntu fileserver
[07:02] <cyberyak> however, BIOS functionas as if it does.
[07:02] <daviey> cyberyak, have you tried the open source drivers?
[07:02] <dougb> will herd3 automatically be updated with the final patches in april?
[07:02] <cyberyak> it's a known bios issue.
[07:03] <cyberyak> I need apmd.
[07:03] <daviey> husky, yeah i had it working on debian but not on dapper.  Haven't tried on edgy
[07:03] <siimo> w00t seems like the big that kept me from using gnome has finally been fixed in fiesty... with regards to its taskbar button sizes changing randomly with title  text changing
[07:03] <husky> Installed the lanwake package, checked the eth-card that it supports wol g
[07:03] <kmitch87> dougb: yes
[07:03] <dougb> sweet.  i'm getting it then
[07:03] <EnsignRedshirt> If you are using dapper, do you have a debian menu in Application?  I.e. Applications->Debian?
[07:03] <daviey> dougb, yeah - but expect to reinstall b4 then just incase.  mount /home on a seperate partition
[07:03] <cyberyak> if you apt-get remove acpi, you break all sorts of fun stuff.
[07:04] <dougb> yeah i will
[07:04] <kmitch87> dougb: it is still pretty alpha quality though, so be careful
[07:04] <dougb> i know, but i dont know what other distro has the 2.16.20 linux kernel with it
[07:04] <daviey> dougb, i have installed feisty 3 times now as it borked
[07:04] <husky> Bios enabled wol and the nic has power when the machine is powered down
[07:04] <cyberyak> daviey, and it gets very hosed from there.
[07:04] <kmitch87> dougb: 2.6.20 isn't even released yet:)
[07:05] <daviey> kmitch87, sure?
[07:05] <kmitch87> yup
[07:05] <dougb> kmitch87: i want it because it fixes my nvidia/ndiswrapper problem
[07:05] <kmitch87> its on rc7 right now
[07:05] <dougb> so says the internet
[07:05] <kmitch87> i think...
[07:05] <dougb> it is kmitch87
[07:05] <daviey> kmitch87, true
[07:06] <daviey> kmitch87, rc7
[07:06] <Tido`> is there any reason you'd ever want to run your own dns server at home?
[07:06] <daviey> Tido`, s**ts and giggles?
[07:06] <Tido`> other than that lol
[07:06] <daviey> Tido`, it could be faster if you have dns caching
[07:07] <Toma-> Tido`: you can use it to fake DNS adresses to proprietry systems on your network... like a Wii?
[07:07] <daviey> Tido`, fractionally!  But it would make a dns request to your isp for each NEW site you go to
[07:07] <Tido`> eh, my router is linux and I can already set names to ips or macs
[07:11] <arc_> irc://irc.memphisnet.org/quebecwarez
[07:12] <co_luchu^_^> hy
[07:16] <dimeo> netsplit?
[07:16] <cyberyak> no, they just don't like me.
[07:17] <Asc> yeah
[07:19] <mauteri1> anyone using enlightenment?
[07:19] <evanmarkert> quick question, if i want rhythmbox to play my music stored on a windows partition without bringing the music to my linux partition, is this possible?
[07:20] <cyberyak> does the alternate cd allow me to choose packages or is that only the server cd
[07:21] <hurrrricane> haha, the only people talking are those with questions...
[07:21] <Flannel> cyberyak: the server CD only allowsyou to choose between LAMP and nonLAMP,
[07:22] <Flannel> or, at least, last time I checked
[07:22] <hurrrricane> oh my. flannel is here. woots.
[07:22] <dimeo> yea thanks hurricane.. you ruined that nicely
[07:22] <hurrrricane> :P
[07:22] <hurrrricane> <3
[07:22] <Flannel> cyberyak: AlternateCD allows you to install a minimal, GUI-less installation, which you can then add stuff to.
[07:23] <dimeo> it's nice when the ER room slows down for a few minues
[07:23] <cyberyak> ok, that's what I need.
[07:23] <hurrrricane> will rhythmbox read itunes music from a windows partition w/o bringing it to the linux partition?
[07:23] <dimeo> we can only handle the blood spurts for so long
[07:23] <hurrrricane> i won't want the music cluttering my linux partition. if i can just play from that storage partition from windows, it'd be great.
[07:23] <Flannel> hurrrricane: sure.  Once mounted, the NTFS drive is just another directory/location/etc
[07:23] <hurrrricane> awesome.
[07:23] <hurrrricane> so it's not bringing it over when it's grabbing the library to play the music.
[07:23] <hurrrricane> ?*
[07:24] <Flannel> hurrrricane: right, its just reading it, like any other file
[07:24] <dimeo> hurricane: you got a fat32 partion for storing mp3?
[07:24] <hurrrricane> ntfs dimeo
[07:24] <hurrrricane> (easy on me. i just installed a few hours ago. :P)
[07:24] <hurrrricane> brand new.
[07:24] <hurrrricane> and scared. :P
[07:24] <dimeo> make a fat32 partition that u can access from windows and linux
[07:24] <Flannel> hurrrricane: Since once it's mounted, linux stuff doesn't have any idea of knowing which partitions anything is on.
[07:25] <hurrrricane> yeah. as long as it's not taking up space on both partitions i don't care.
[07:25] <Flannel> hurrrricane: well, except it'll be marked read-only.  That'll be the only 'indication' (even though theres plenty of other reasons for stuff to be r-o)
[07:25] <hurrrricane> and doesn't fat32 have a size limitation?
[07:25] <Flannel> hurrrricane: 4GB files, yeah.
[07:25] <Flannel> hurrrricane: if you're just reading, tere's no reason to not use NTFS.
[07:25] <hanasaki> where are the instructions for installing hte 3d and transparency stuff in feisty?
[07:25] <hurrrricane> yeah. my music is larger than 4GB
[07:26] <Flannel> hanasaki: #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-effects, probably a mixture of the two.
[07:26] <frigmang> I have a question. Should I do a clean install of windows then partition my hdd b4 installing linux
[07:26] <dimeo> just dont' try to write to ntfs from linux
[07:26] <zyth> hurrrricane, no, one file can't be bigger than 4gb on Fat32
[07:26] <Flannel> frigmang: it doesn't matter really.
[07:26] <hurrrricane> ah. gotcha.
[07:26] <frigmang> k
[07:26] <mikeo1> anyone here boot a windows partition in vmware player?
[07:26] <hurrrricane> frigmang: you don't have to. i didn't do it and i installed today.

[07:29] <hurrrricane> hahaha.
[07:29] <hurrrricane> you could say that.

[07:30] <meLon> anybody want to help me get 3d acceleration on my Radeon 200M
[07:30] <dimeo> welcome to the rest of your life
[07:30] <Indref> Random Announcement: OpenBox Is awesome!
[07:30] <hurrrricane> i LOVE it.
[07:30] <dimeo> ubuntu change *everything* for me
[07:30] <hurrrricane> don't doubt it.
[07:30] <Brady_M> This is a message from PC mag! Suggesting Ubuntu! WHOA!
[07:30] <hurrrricane> im already in love with it.
[07:30] <hurrrricane> and i can assume you're an ER doc?
[07:30] <dimeo> a happy user for a year or two
[07:31] <dimeo> no.. more like a ward trainee
[07:31] <hurrrricane> hmm...
[07:31] <mike_> anyone know how to install easyubuntu i feisty? it was looking for a "packagelist-feisty.xml"
[07:31] <hurrrricane> curious because i'm pre-med (3rd year) and interested in emergency med.
[07:31] <dimeo> cool
[07:32] <Mixx> is there a command or some way to use diff to compare multiple files at the same time?
[07:32] <maddash> ugh openbox
[07:32] <Flannel> Mixx: diff does compares multiple files
[07:33] <Flannel> mike_: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support, #easyubuntu for easyubuntu support
[07:33] <Mixx> it seems to compare the existance of files when supplied with directories
[07:33] <Mixx> rather than the contents
[07:33] <dimeo> hurricane: u on a desktop or laptop?
[07:33] <frogzoo> Mixx: diff -R ?
[07:33] <Mixx> yeah
[07:33] <hurrrricane> desktop.
[07:33] <hurrrricane> why?
[07:33] <dimeo> curious..
[07:33] <hurrrricane> :)
[07:33] <hurrrricane> no macbook yet. :P
[07:33] <mike_> thanx Flannel
[07:34] <hurrrricane> too poor.
[07:34] <Mixx> unless i guess that all the files were equivalent and it was just complaining about the existance of directories in one place and not the other..  i'll look at it again
[07:34] <dimeo> notebooks are cheaper all the time
[07:34] <hurrrricane> i've missed my speakers, my comp has been down for a week due to vid card issues, and hearing the subwoofer again for the first time with howard shore....
[07:34] <dimeo> 500 even
[07:34] <hurrrricane> brilliant.
[07:34] <zeembo> hi all, i'm having trouble installing kernel 2.6.19.2
[07:34] <hurrrricane> eh... if i get a laptop, it won't be anything but a mac.
[07:35] <zeembo> i extracted all the packages
[07:35] <dimeo> rite now Im on a dell xps notebook
[07:35] <dimeo> blows the pants off a macbook
[07:35] <hurrrricane> :P
[07:35] <dimeo> with ubuntu
[07:35] <hurrrricane> my pc runs off a workstation vid card.
[07:35] <Flannel> guys, take the chatting to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[07:35] <maddash> mac notebooks run hot
[07:35] <zeembo> and the steps i'm following online say to " sudo dpkd -i [FILE] .deb"
[07:35] <zeembo> but i can't find any .deb files
[07:35] <Brady_M> Flannel: you got it np
[07:35] <zeembo> in my /usr/src/ directory
[07:36] <Flannel> !kernel | zeembo
[07:36] <ubotu> zeembo: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[07:36] <zeembo> i'm trying to compile a new kernel because i want to try try out beryl on my mx 4000
[07:37] <maddash> what does beryl have to do with the kernel?
[07:37] <zeembo> i need the newest kernel if i use the nvidia drivers correct?
[07:37] <FirstStrike> uhh..no
[07:37] <zeembo> FirstStrike: so i can just install the nvidia drivers and i should be fine?
[07:37] <Flannel> !nvidia | zeembo
[07:37] <ubotu> zeembo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[07:39] <ice_cream> hi; lately i've been getting weird cpu spikes
[07:39] <ice_cream> is there a way to put some processes on higher priority than others?
[07:39] <tickus_24> Ubuntu refuses to install for me on a ABIT IT7 Max2 board with sata drives.
[07:39] <dimeo> ok must catch zzzzzzzz
[07:39] <dimeo> nite all
[07:40] <hurrrricane> nite
[07:40] <Indref> WTB Sword Of A Thousand Truths
[07:40] <hurrrricane> lol
[07:40] <nexous> Hi
[07:40] <Indref> WTS Gold Bars
[07:40] <tickus_24> Highpoint HP374 being detected during startup, but grub install fails on sata drives??
[07:41] <n2diy_> what's the command to put Nautilus in web browser mode?
[07:41] <nexous> In 6.10, I keep getting authentication error in Konsole/Terminal with the password I enter, But i know it's correct.
[07:42] <kmitch87> n2diy_: nautilus doesn't do web browsing
[07:43] <n2diy_> kmitch87: yes it does, I've done it on my production box, I just don't remember the ctrl+ combo to do it.
[07:43] <kmitch87> n2diy_: crtl+L maybe?
[07:43] <nexous> Anyone know why konsole would be giving me an authentication error?
[07:44] <n2diy_> kmitch87: bingo, didn't work though, I have to set up DNS, but that was the test I was performing, tnxs.
[07:44] <cameron_> anyone that can help me to debug my Wireless card problem?
[07:44] <blankfaze> hey, how do i get permission to write to files that are "owned" by root?
[07:45] <blankfaze> like /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:45] <z0rg> sudo
[07:45] <nexous> blankfaze: chmod the file.
[07:45] <Flannel> blankfaze: open your editor with sudo (or gksudo for graphical editors)
[07:45] <Flannel> blankfaze, nexous: NO.
[07:45] <Flannel> do NOT chmod your file.  Edit it with sudo.
[07:45] <nexous> Flannel: why not?
[07:45] <n2diy_> blankfaze: gksudo gedit /path/file
[07:45] <kmitch87> no problem:)
[07:45] <z0rg> sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:45] <Flannel> nexous: screwing around with permissions because it's inconvienient for you to sudo your editor is the best way to screw up your system
[07:45] <gerald> how do i setup split screen
[07:46] <gerald> dual monitor
[07:46] <Flannel> !dualhead | gerald
[07:46] <nexous> oh, sorry blankfaze.
[07:46] <ubotu> gerald: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[07:46] <n2diy_> ! twinview | gerald
[07:46] <ubotu> gerald: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[07:46] <cameron_> can someone help me to debug my wireless card connection please
[07:46] <nexous> Flannel, have any idea of why Konsole won't accept the password I give it for 'su'
[07:46] <Flannel> nexous: su? use sudo.
[07:47] <blankfaze> i don't get it, why can't i just edit that file without doing all that? :-)
[07:47] <Flannel> nexous: su is for root, you probably don't have a root password, as ubuntu doesn't use one.
[07:47] <nexous> but on 6.06 i did it all the time and it worked.
[07:47] <Flannel> blankfaze: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, or sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:47] <Flannel> nexous: no you didn't.  You probably used sudo.
[07:47] <blankfaze> oh i did it
[07:47] <blankfaze> i just don't get why i have to do that
[07:47] <cameron_> can someone tell me where to go to get help on my wireless card connection that just wont connect
[07:48] <n2diy_> blankfaze: so you don't turn your Ubuntu box into a windows clone.
[07:48] <nexous> i typed 'su' then entered my password.
[07:48] <blankfaze> lolz
[07:48] <blankfaze> i guess so
[07:48] <scrollzer> part
[07:48] <Flannel> blankfaze: Because system files are set so normal people can't edit them.  It's more secure that way (so.. say, some random person can't go through and edit/delete them)
[07:48] <cameron_> hello world
[07:48] <blankfaze> but if i know what i want to do, it seems like i ought to be able to bypass that
[07:48] <blankfaze> yeah, that makes sense
[07:48] <blankfaze> used to the screwy world of windows i guess :-)
[07:48] <Flannel> blankfaze: You use sudo to, for that command, give you those permissions.
[07:49] <gerald> well right now, both my monitors are identical, is there an easy way to make them split?
[07:49] <n2diy_> blankfaze: :) yep, linux has rules, play by them, and your and your box will live long and prosper.
[07:49] <cyberyak> gerald, what video card?
[07:49] <cyberyak> cards
[07:49] <Flannel> blankfaze: right now it seems like you're using it a lot, However once you'vegot your system all setup, You'll use it very rarely.
[07:49] <gerald> ati
[07:49] <blankfaze> cool.  i am happy i finally got ubuntu working.
[07:49] <gerald> i have a laptop
[07:49] <blankfaze> it took a while
[07:49] <nexous> Flannel: I have to be root, (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?'
[07:50] <cyberyak> gerald, what kind of laptop
[07:50] <gerald> presario
[07:50] <gerald> something
[07:50] <gerald> amd
[07:50] <dano_c> gerald: you'll have to modify xorg.conf
[07:50] <gerald> 64 bit
[07:50] <Flannel> nexous: No.  You can use sudo.  That root message is the deafult one for the app.
[07:50] <gerald> damn it
[07:50] <cyberyak> gerald, it may not be bad
[07:50] <dano_c> it's not that bad
[07:50] <nexous> !sudo
[07:50] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:50] <Flannel> nexous: oh, Even with sudo, you're getting that error?
[07:50] <n2diy_> blankfaze: :) welcome to the learning curve. :)
[07:50] <nexous> yes
[07:50] <dano_c> i've done it for the first time yesterday
[07:50] <Flannel> nexous: you need to close your other package managers, update-manager, etc.
[07:50] <cameron_> can someone volenter to help me debug my Wireless card?
[07:51] <Flannel> nexous: only one program can be adding/removing/etc programs at a time
[07:51] <nexous> alright, right now it's downloading like 100+ updates
[07:51] <blankfaze> whoa
[07:51] <blankfaze> compiz is neat
[07:51] <cameron_> can anyone here me?
[07:51] <dano_c> gerald: hang on, i'll get my laptop and we'll talk, ok?
[07:51] <Flannel> nexous: right, you'll just have to wait for it to be done before you can add more stuff
[07:51] <nexous> okay. Thanks
[07:52] <cameron_> nexous can you please help me?
[07:52] <gerald> thanks dano
[07:52] <nexous> cameron_ : I am not much of help.

[07:54] <cameron_> where would you recommend I go, I have tried all of the WIKIS and FAQs and Formums but I cant get the thing working, I, it says that it is supported by ndiswrapper, but I cannot get it working
[07:54] <n2diy> anybody know when update does it's thing? I'm limited to 8 hours online, per session, and would like update to have as much of that as possible.

[07:55] <ubotu> pk_volt: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[07:55] <cameron_> thanks
[07:56] <cinnix> can someone help me with this error?
[07:56] <cinnix> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[07:56] <n2diy> cinnix: did you install build-essentials?
[07:57] <cinnix> hmmm true
[07:57] <cinnix> 2 seconds
[07:57] <pk_volt> how do i register :(
[07:57] <n2diy> ! register | pk_volt
[07:57] <ubotu> pk_volt: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[07:57] <cyberyak> anyway, pk_volt you need to know which ATI chipset you are using.
[07:57] <pk_volt> ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Xpress 200M (RS480)
[07:57] <pk_volt> that's what it shows in my xorg.conf
[07:58] <cyberyak> that doesn't mean much
[07:58] <pk_volt> well in my xorg.conf
[07:58] <cyberyak> lspci
[07:58] <NoEvidenZ> !lamp
[07:58] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:58] <pk_volt> there's a part where it says monitor aticonfig Monitor 0
[07:58] <cyberyak> should have a radeon listed
[07:58] <cyberyak> at prompt, type lspci
[07:58] <pk_volt> it says unknown device
[07:58] <cinnix> n2diy: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "build-essentials"
[07:58] <pk_volt> ati
[07:58] <cinnix> The following packages have been kept back: python-soappy
[07:59] <pk_volt> i'm in desktop righ tnow
[07:59] <pk_volt> might i add
[07:59] <cyberyak> lspci |grep VGA
[07:59] <n2diy> cinnix: where did you look, locally, or online?
[07:59] <killux_> killux@killux-laptop:~$ sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --dtop=horizontal --screen-layout=right
[07:59] <killux_> Found fglrx primary device section
[07:59] <killux_> Found fglrx secondary device section
[07:59] <cyberyak> should have a line about which ATI it is
[07:59] <killux_> Nothing to do, terminating.
[07:59] <killux_> what is wrong!?!?!?!
[07:59] <pk_volt> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5955
[07:59] <cyberyak> oof
[08:00] <cyberyak> what presario model is it?
[08:00] <n2diy> cinnix: where did you look, locally, or online?
[08:00] <cinnix> n2diy: im relatively new to linux, i just done a reinstall of edgy with alt cd
[08:00] <cinnix> n2diy: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[08:01] <n2diy> cinnix: hmmm, how about apt-get install build-essentials?
[08:01] <cinnix> n2diy: heh, yea turns out i got it
[08:02] <pk_volt> k, i registered
[08:02] <cinnix> n2diy: im trying to compile alltray, its saying there are no makefile where im looking at it right now
[08:03] <n2diy> cinnix: build-essentials isn't in the default repos, you need to enable the alternate ones, do you have X running?
[08:04] <cinnix> n2diy: yea i just fixed build essential, its present and installed
[08:04] <gilad_g> Hello, can someone please help me setting up evolution to connect to an exchange server via OWA?
[08:04] <pk_volt> can someone help me get split screen to work on my ati xpress video card?
[08:05] <dcomsa> pk_volt: hi, dano_c here
[08:05] <dcomsa> how can we talk in private
[08:05] <n2diy> cinnix: ok, try building again, and see if you get a make file?
[08:05] <gilad_g> i'm getting this error: "Could not configure Exchange account because an unknown error occurred. Check the URL, username, and password, and try again."
[08:06] <cyberyak> ack
[08:06] <cyberyak> we lost him.
[08:06] <n2diy> ! owa
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about owa - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:07] <cyberyak> and I know his answer
[08:07] <gerald> bleh
[08:07] <gerald> i fiddled around with aticonfig
[08:07] <cyberyak> gerald, you're back
[08:07] <dcomsa> well, he's back
[08:07] <dcomsa> \:)
[08:07] <gerald> now i just have a brown screen on my 2nd monitor
[08:07] <gerald> close though
[08:07] <gilad_g> OWA = outlook web access
[08:07] <cinnix> n2diy: nope, same again. this is weird
[08:07] <dcomsa> add RightOf
[08:07] <cyberyak> gerald, you want the fglrx driver
[08:07] <dcomsa> and the screen id
[08:07] <dcomsa> in xorg.conf
[08:07] <gerald> what do i do to get that
[08:09] <cyberyak> can you sudo apt-get fglrx
[08:09] <n2diy> cinnix: I've only compiled twice, and it wasn't your s/w, so I'm at a loss, if autoconf and automake don't give you a make file, I can't help.
[08:09] <cyberyak> I don't recall where I got those drivers.
[08:09] <kyle_> Hiya peoples!
[08:09] <cinnix> n2diy: no worries. thanks for your time anyhow
[08:09] <gerald> which one do i install
[08:09] <kyle_> I got a quick question.
[08:09] <n2diy> cinnix: nada, gl.
[08:09] <gerald> fglrx-control ?
[08:10] <kyle_> How do you set a theme for your desktop on the Emeral Themer?
[08:10] <kyle_> Emerald*
[08:10] <cyberyak> gerald, there were several.  you want the driver
[08:10] <dcomsa> gerald: xorg-driver-fglrx
[08:10] <gerald> can u tell me which one to select from the apt-cache list?
[08:10] <kyle_> Hmmmmm.....
[08:10] <cyberyak> yep, but I think that will install a few other packages
[08:10] <n2diy> anybody know when update does it's thing? I'm limited to 8 hours online, per session, and would like update to have as much of that as possible.
[08:10] <gerald> xorg-driver-fglrx?
[08:10] <cyberyak> yes
[08:10] <dcomsa> yes
[08:11] <gerald> it's already installed
[08:11] <kyle_> I'll be back.
[08:11] <kyle_> sudo apt-get update
[08:11] <dcomsa> yeh gera;d, take a look at ubuntuguide
[08:11] <dcomsa> it will tell you exactly how to enable the driver
[08:11] <kyle_> Anyone know how to apply a theme with the Emerald Themer?
[08:12] <RYUTAZ3> ..
[08:12] <RYUTAZ3> ..
[08:12] <cyberyak> lost gerald again
[08:12] <kyle_> Yep.
[08:12] <kyle_> Sure did.
[08:12] <n2diy> anybody know when cron does it's daily jobs?
[08:12] <kyle_> RYUTAZ is having connection troubles.
[08:13] <kyle_> CRON killed my system.
[08:13] <cyberyak> he just need to replace the ati sections of xorg.conf with fglrx
[08:13] <cyberyak> and it should work.
[08:13] <kyle_> Are you talking about a 3d Desktop switcher?
[08:13] <cyberyak> add the twin head
[08:13] <RYUTAZ3> sorry
[08:14] <kyle_> I see....
[08:14] <kyle_> Well...
[08:14] <kyle_> off to find help.
[08:14] <dcomsa> cyberyak: i have done the same thing yesterday, and i had to add a second screen
[08:14] <dcomsa> cyberyak: alltough, i do have an intel video card
[08:14] <kyle_> Me too!
[08:14] <kyle_> 915/GML
[08:15] <dcomsa> yup :)
[08:15] <cyberyak> yes
[08:15] <kyle_> I have that one.
[08:15] <ir1> is there anybody out there?
[08:15] <kyle_> Is it possible to install a 3d desktop swithcer on my computer?
[08:15] <kyle_> switcher*
[08:15] <dcomsa> like bery?
[08:15] <cyberyak> I copied an xorg.conf file for a dual monitor setup and then modified it.
[08:15] <kyle_> Yeah!
[08:15] <dcomsa> yeah
[08:15] <kyle_> But, I cannot get it to work.
[08:15] <cyberyak> the problem with ATI is you have to figure out which driver is which.
[08:15] <unperson> I'm interested in trying out some eye candy for my desktop.  I know there are supposedly some cool things on the desktop using hardware graphics acceleration these days.  What would be a good (and easy) thing for me to check out on my system running Edgy?
[08:15] <dcomsa> kyle_:  laptop?
[08:15] <jsizzle> greets, my amarok is skipping anyone know some things I can try to get it to play smoothly?
[08:15] <ir1> how do i format a SD card in ubuntu?
[08:16] <kyle_> Yes, Dcomsa.
[08:16] <dcomsa> hmm
[08:16] <kyle_> Reinstall, Jsissle.
[08:16] <kyle_> I guess...
[08:16] <dcomsa> beryl did work on mine
[08:16] <kyle_> Hmm
[08:16] <kyle_> Could you send me your xorg.conf file?
[08:16] <kyle_> So I could just take a peek at it?
[08:16] <jsizzle> kyle_: just installed it first time a few min ago, skipping right away
[08:16] <kyle_> Wurd...
[08:17] <dcomsa> yeah sure, but it's configured for two screens
[08:17] <kyle_> How much music do you have on there? *Jsizzle.
[08:17] <kyle_> That's fine.
[08:17] <kyle_> kyle.kruchok@gmail.com
[08:17] <kyle_> Send it to that one.
[08:17] <dcomsa> k
[08:17] <kyle_> Thanks.
[08:17] <kyle_> Are you using the intel Driver?
[08:17] <cyberyak> aight. I'm out.
[08:17] <kyle_> Because I cannot get mine to work worth beans.
[08:17] <dcomsa> no, the default driver i810
[08:18] <gilad_g> anyone had any luck connecting evolution to an exchange server?
[08:18] <kyle_> How do you do it?!
[08:18] <ir1> how do i format a SD card in Ubuntu?
[08:18] <kyle_> Umm
[08:18] <kyle_> Right click on it, what are the options?
[08:18] <kyle_> Oh..
[08:18] <n2diy> kyle_: why are we only seeing your side of the conversation?
[08:18] <kyle_> Uh...
[08:18] <kyle_> What?
[08:19] <kyle_> Why are you only seeing my side of it?!
[08:19] <kyle_> I haven't a clue.
[08:19] <jsizzle> kyle_: not very much, maybe 20 songs
[08:19] <kyle_> Ummm....
[08:19] <n2diy> kyle_: yes, it looks like your talking to your self?
[08:19] <kyle_> Does it play a CD alright?
[08:19] <unperson> irl:  There are probably a couple of ways.
[08:19] <Christoffer> Does anyone know if I loose my databases if I reinstall mysql-server?
[08:19] <kyle_> Well, my color is grey...
[08:19] <kyle_> Yes, you will.
[08:19] <kyle_> If you don't save em.
[08:19] <jsizzle> kyle_: I'm running a p3/650 w512mb ram, could that be the prob?
[08:19] <n2diy> kyle_: or maybe something is afu here?
[08:19] <unperson> irl: Unfortunately, I haven't done any of them too recently.
[08:20] <kyle_> That shouldn't be the problem.
[08:20] <kyle_> How many prog's are you running?
[08:20] <kyle_> Try to keep the processes to a minimum.
[08:20] <Christoffer> kyle_, hmm can I back them up somehow?
[08:20] <kyle_> Hmmm.
[08:20] <kyle_> Just save them to a CD or something.
[08:20] <kyle_> Or copy and paste them to a CD.
[08:20] <unperson> ir1, If you know what device it is, you should be able to format it using the mkfs command.
[08:20] <Falcongrinder> hello, Im wondering if anyone has had problems with "qdvdauthor" thanscoding?
[08:20] <Christoffer> like cp -R /var/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysqlbackup/ ?
[08:20] <dcomsa> Christoffer: mysqldump should do the back-up
[08:21] <Christoffer> hmm, then what? :o
[08:21] <kyle_> Do you have a GUI installed?
[08:21] <unperson> ir1, It'll also be good if you know what sort of file system the device you plan to use the card in will be expecting.
[08:21] <ir1> unperson: Thanks. i will give it a go now...!
[08:21] <dcomsa> then go ahead and reinstall the server
[08:21] <Christoffer> root@infernoonline-web:/var/www/stats# mysqldump --all-databases
[08:21] <Christoffer> mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) when trying to connect
[08:21] <Christoffer>  No kyle_
[08:21] <kyle_> Ahh.
[08:21] <unperson> ir1, You can look at the man page for mkfs for more information.
[08:21] <jsizzle> hrmm.. skips even just with 1 terminal and amarok open
[08:21] <dcomsa> ohh
[08:21] <kyle_> If you install a GUI, it's much easier. |)
[08:21] <dcomsa> you'll have to modify the settings of the server
[08:21] <unperson> ir1, For example, I had an mp3 player that used SD card and wanted them formatted as FAT16.
[08:21] <Christoffer> how?
[08:22] <dcomsa> or the server isn't started yet
[08:22] <Christoffer> I cant access phpmyadmin, gaves me the same error as above.
[08:22] <Christoffer> thats why I want to reinstall
[08:22] <dcomsa> aha
[08:22] <kyle_> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:22] <dcomsa> you don't need to reinstall
[08:22] <ice_cream> someone mentioned processes and skipping... i have a similar problem
[08:22] <kyle_> Which would be, Ice cream?
[08:22] <dcomsa> Christoffer: hold on for a sec, ok
[08:22] <Christoffer> kyle_, no thanks :)
[08:22] <kyle_> His music was skipping.
[08:22] <ice_cream> kyle_, it seems to occur w/ internet-intensive progs
[08:22] <kyle_> Aww, Christopher, you know you want to do it.
[08:23] <kyle_> Christoffer*
[08:23] <Christoffer> dcomsa, thanks  - im having major problems. Driving me nuts.
[08:23] <kyle_> Hmmmm
[08:23] <kyle_> What are your specs?
[08:23] <kyle_> Ice cream*
[08:23] <ice_cream> if i have a lot of bandwidth transfer, if i'm watching a movie the movie may skip
[08:23] <bincast> http://www.degredo.net
[08:23] <unperson> ir1, In that case, I could use the command 'mkfs -t vfat -F 16 /dev/blah'
[08:23] <kyle_> Well, there you go.
[08:23] <SoundGuy29> can someone help me configggue my apache so that i'll get SSL on the 443 port and regular HTTP on port 80 ?
[08:23] <ice_cream> kyle_, laptop; dell d610, 1 gb ram, pentium-m 2.0
[08:24] <kyle_> That's the issue. Your bandwidth is only so big.
[08:24] <kyle_> DSL?
[08:24] <SoundGuy29> it doesn't like <VirtualHost *:443>
[08:24] <jsizzle> rhythmbox works fine, I've just heard amarok is cool and I'm trying out KDE so I figured I should try amarok, but I can't get it to play w/out skipping, any other music player doesn't. can't figure why amarok does
[08:24] <dcomsa> Christoffer: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status
[08:24] <Christoffer> Didnt get anything dcomsa
[08:24] <dcomsa> just to check if mysql is running
[08:24] <kyle_> Amarok works well on gnome
[08:24] <dcomsa> huh?
[08:24] <Christoffer> nothing happened
[08:24] <gerald> how do i restart my xserver
[08:24] <kyle_> startx
[08:24] <Christoffer> root@infernoonline-web:/var/www/stats# /etc/init.d/mysql start
[08:24] <Christoffer> root@infernoonline-web:/var/www/stats#
[08:25] <ice_cream> kyle_, well no, it's a college cable connection
[08:25] <dcomsa> what version of ubuntu do you have?
[08:25] <kyle_> Ahh...
[08:25] <dcomsa> no no
[08:25] <dcomsa> sudo
[08:25] <kyle_> Well, maybe...
[08:25] <jsizzle> gerald: logout of gnome/whatever then ctrl+alt+backspace
[08:25] <hagabaka> do apt-get and aptitude use differernt databases to keep track of whch packages are automatically installed?
[08:25] <Christoffer> k
[08:25] <ice_cream> kyle_, but i even tried putting mplayer to priority -20
[08:25] <gerald> is there like a command you can type in?
[08:25] <Christoffer> same thing, nothing happened
[08:25] <rpc> hagabaka not really
[08:25] <ice_cream> to no avail
[08:25] <dcomsa> ohh
[08:25] <dcomsa> not start, status
[08:25] <rpc> hagabaka but use aptitude - it's easier
[08:25] <kyle_> Hmm..
[08:25] <jsizzle> gerald: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:25] <Christoffer> yes I know, and nothing happened
[08:26] <kyle_> I honestly don't know. I am a windows guy, natively, and am trying to get into Linux.
[08:26] <hagabaka> why do they list differernt set of packages that are automatically installed for me?
[08:26] <Christoffer> I showed you what happened if I started it too, nothing.
[08:26] <kyle_> I need all the help I can get.
[08:26] <ice_cream> heh, sure
[08:26] <dcomsa> ok then
[08:26] <Christoffer> dcomsa, please join a channel and talk there with me? cant keep up with what you are writing to me in here
[08:26] <rpc> hagabaka because aptitude takes care about needed packages automatically
[08:26] <SoundGuy29> Hello. my apache doesn't like <VirtualHost *:443> can someone help me configure my apache so that i'll get SSL on the 443 port and regular HTTP on port 80 ?
[08:26] <hagabaka> what?
[08:26] <dcomsa> tell me the channel
[08:26] <n2diy> hagabaka: the are dependicies, your package won't run without them.
[08:26] <Christoffer> dcomsa #chris.mysql
[08:26] <ice_cream> kyle_, irc: xchat; video: mplayer; gkrellm for monitoring..
[08:26] <gerald> eerr, dualscreen works in the login screen
[08:26] <gerald> but not in my desktop
[08:26] <gerald> i just get a blank brown screen
[08:27] <kyle_> Wurd.
[08:27] <gerald> i can't move my mouse curser in there
[08:27] <hagabaka> aptitude thought a lot of programs i installed manually through atp-get were automatically installed
[08:27] <ice_cream> you'll find a few other useful progs down the road
[08:27] <kyle_> Kill something.
[08:27] <kyle_> Anything.
[08:27] <kyle_> I think you are overloading your CPU.
[08:27] <kyle_> 650 you say?!
[08:27] <unperson> Is there any way to change the screen with the progress bar that comes up on boot?  I'd much prefer to actually have some idea of what the system is doing.
[08:27] <ice_cream> sry, 650?
[08:27] <jsizzle> kyle_: I'm the 650mhz he's got a 2ghz
[08:28] <n2diy> ! splash | unperson
[08:28] <ubotu> unperson: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[08:28] <kyle_> I am aware of this. Jsizzle.
[08:28] <kyle_> I was talking about you.
[08:28] <ice_cream> oh, my most recent comments were just throwing in some useful progs
[08:28] <kyle_> Ice cream is later.
[08:28] <kyle_> Dinner now.
[08:28] <kyle_> ;)
[08:28] <ice_cream> hai
[08:29] <rwc> Help: Ubuntu is unable to boot after manually installing the install.exe files... it says "can't aceess tty"
[08:30] <rwc> any help is appreciated
[08:30] <ice_cream> btw, kyle, you'll learn linux the hard but best (imo) way w/ fluxbox ;)
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> rwc: Um, install.exe?
[08:30] <meLon> Hey buddies
[08:30] <kyle_> Ooh..
[08:30] <kyle_> FluxBox
[08:30] <meLon> I just installed ubuntu 610
[08:30] <rwc> tonyyarusso, the new windows installer
[08:30] <kyle_> Sounds lovely.
[08:30] <meLon> and followed these directions: http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html
[08:30] <kyle_> 610 doesn't work with my wifi
[08:30] <meLon> when i rebooted for the first time, it shows the ubuntu load screen
[08:30] <meLon> and then goes to a black screen
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> rwc: Oi...  I don't trust that thing at all, nor know how to deal with it.
[08:30] <PsyBan-> is there a way to get wine work on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:30] <ice_cream> fluxbox >> kde, gnome, even xfce imo, but it is minimalistic
[08:30] <meLon> would anybdoy mind helpin gme?
[08:31] <ir1> unperson: mkfs.vfat: unable to open /media/usbdisk :'(
[08:31] <Akuma_> what are the rules for parser scripts to work with shebangs? i thought they had to accept the source file as the first arg, but it doesnt seem to be the case .. ?
[08:31] <rwc> tonyyarusso, thanks anyway... I have a laptop with no cd drive and broken windows installation, and am trying to get ubuntu on it, but I'm having little luck :(
[08:31] <jsizzle> irl: you have to specify the /dev entry not the mountpoint
[08:31] <gerald> anyone know how to get dual screen to work, i got it to work in login screen, but not in desktop
[08:31] <jsizzle> irl: so it would be something like /dev/sda
[08:32] <ir1> jsizzle: how do i find that?
[08:32] <rwc> gerald, what video card?
[08:32] <tonyyarusso> rwc: ah :(
[08:32] <unperson> ir1, First thing you probably want to do is make sure it's unmounted.  Then you need to specify the device that it's on, not the mount point.
[08:32] <gerald> ati xpress 200m
[08:32] <gerald> or something like that
[08:32] <PsyBan-> is there a way to get wine work on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:32] <unperson> ir1, While it's still mounted, type 'mount' at the command line.
[08:33] <rwc> gerald, oh, don't know about ati, sorry
[08:33] <unperson> ir1, You'll see a list of things that will tell you what devices are mounted where.
[08:33] <rwc> gerald, but you probably have to change your xorg.conf file
[08:33] <gerald> i use aticonfig to do it
[08:34] <ir1> unperson: found it. will try now! Thanks
[08:34] <unperson> ir1, One of those should be this drive with the mount point usbdisk.  There you can see what device it is.  Then unmount it and format it.
[08:34] <unperson> ir1, You might be able to do all this through the Gnome desktop somehow too. I just don't know.
[08:34] <ir1> how do i unmount (command)?
[08:35] <unperson> ir1, 'sudo umount /media/usbdisk'
[08:35] <ir1> thanka
[08:35] <unperson> ir1, Or you can right-click on it in Gnome and tell it to eject, I think.
[08:35] <jsizzle> kyle_: I checked top while running amarok, I think your right it must just be too cpu intensive for this old boxen
[08:35] <n2diy> anybody know when update does it's thing? I'm limited to 8 hours online, per session, and would like update to have as much of that as possible.
[08:35] <jsizzle> :(*
[08:36] <jsizzle> n2diy: in terminal type "sudo apt-get update" without quotes it will check for updates, and if there are any the little notifier deal will pop up
[08:37] <PsyBan-> is there a way to get wine work on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:37] <tecywiz121> so, i figured out a bit of my problem... Root can't access my /home directory, any idea how to fix that?
[08:37] <ir1> think it worked. just chackin'!
[08:37] <ice_cream> rwc, did you attempt some tricks w/ usb drive?
[08:37] <n2diy> jsizzle: I have updates pending, but have selected to only d/l the security updates, so I wondering when that is scheduled to happen.
[08:37] <ice_cream> rwc, perhaps some bootable linux on flash..
[08:38] <^BeLLo^> hi i have the unbuntu and i dont know were to get the codecs
[08:38] <unperson> ir1, Cool.
[08:38] <unperson> ir1, Like I said, I haven't messed with it in a while, so I hope I remember things correctly.
[08:38] <jsizzle> ^BeLLo^: read the howto at http://www.ubuntuguide.org enable extra repos and install package w32codecs
[08:38] <ir1> unperson: just 1 more question. how do i re mount it?
[08:39] <kyle_> Yeah. Sorry bout that Sizzle
[08:39] <unperson> ir1, Well, one way would probably just to be to unplug it and then plug it back in.
[08:39] <ice_cream> isnt there also easyubuntu for codecs?
[08:39] <tecywiz121> anyone?  I though root could access any directory
[08:39] <SoundGuy29> my apache doesn't like <VirtualHost *:443> can someone help me configure my apache so that i'll get SSL on the 443 port and regular HTTP on port 80 ?
[08:39] <n2diy> tecywiz121: he can.
[08:40] <unperson> ir1, But if you wanted to do it manually, you'd type 'sudo mount /dev/blah /mnt/usbdisk'  assuming that usbdisk directory exists.

[08:40] <earthmeLon> my bad arrenlex

[08:40] <earthmeLon> because that's what was suggested
[08:40] <n2diy> tecywiz121: what command(s) are you using to try that?
[08:41] <earthmeLon> every time i get to the reboot part
[08:41] <earthmeLon> when i restart my computer
[08:41] <arrenlex> !enter | earthmeLon
[08:41] <ubotu> earthmeLon: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[08:41] <PsyBan-> is there a way to get wine work on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:41] <tecywiz121> n2diy, sudo chown root /home  doesn't work
[08:41] <ice_cream> ah, the irony... my heart is with gentoo
[08:41] <ir1> unperson: mount: mount point /media/usbdisk does not exist
[08:41] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, I am having problems with fglrx. WHen i reboot my computer after the ubuntu load screen, It goes to a black screen and just hangs there
[08:42] <jsizzle> tecywiz121: what's the error message say
[08:42] <black_13_> how are the ubuntu install cds made?
[08:42] <n2diy> tecywiz121: so who own /home?
[08:42] <unperson> ir1, Right, so in that case you must create the mount point first with the command 'sudo mkdir /media/usbdisk'.
[08:42] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: That doesn't sound good. How are you on IRC right now?
[08:42] <n2diy> *own/owns
[08:42] <earthmeLon> My windows compy >_<
[08:42] <tecywiz121> jsizzle, chown: cannot access `/home': Permission denied
[08:43] <tecywiz121> n2diy, my user
[08:43] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Okay, good; what happens if you boot ubuntu in single-user mode to get to the command line, and then run the "startx" command?
[08:43] <tecywiz121> it might help to say it is a folder that is mounted to a FUSE filesystem
[08:43] <rwc> Can anyone suggest a way of installing Ubuntu on a windows laptop with no CDROM?
[08:43] <tecywiz121> rwc, usb pen?
[08:43] <earthmeLon> let me try.
[08:43] <ice_cream> rwc, usb?
[08:43] <ir1> unperson:  that worked but i must have a dodgy sd card. still got photos on it that i just can't delete. thanks for your hepl m8.
[08:44] <n2diy> tecywiz121: how did he end up with it, on my box root owns it.
[08:44] <earthmeLon> arrenlex: The same things happens. My screen becomes black
[08:44] <unperson> ir1, Hmm...very odd.  But mkfs didn't give you an error?
[08:44] <rwc> ice_cream, tecywiz121 from what I have red, this laptop doesnt support booting from USB...
[08:44] <arrenlex> rwc: You could also try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe (warning, beta software; note this is a web page and not an executable)
[08:44] <tecywiz121> n2diy, the only way for me to be able to gain access was to amke me own it
[08:44] <ir1> unperson:  no erroe @ all.
[08:44] <rwc> can I make grub boot from USB though?
[08:44] <ice_cream> that's usually a bios thing
[08:45] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: And it freezes at that point?
[08:45] <rwc> arrenlex, I tried that, but when rebooting, ubuntu gives errors
[08:45] <ice_cream> 'from what i have read'... er.. did you actually go into bios to see if it's possible?
[08:45] <unperson> ir1, SD cards usually have a little switch on them that enables write-protection.
[08:45] <n2diy> tecywiz121: can you pastepin the output of "ls -al /home"
[08:45] <jsizzle> tecywiz121: paste results of this command (without quotes) "ls -l / | grep home"
[08:45] <tecywiz121> rwc, possibly grub, I am not sure.  Maybe a linux-on-a -floppy
[08:45] <unperson> ir1, Are you sure that's not set?
[08:45] <ir1> unperson:  chacked that.
[08:45] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, i dont know if it's 'frozen' but yes, it stays like this with no graphics indefinitely
[08:45] <arrenlex> rwc: Then you could install from a USB stick. Or a floppy drive if you have one lying around.
[08:45] <unperson> ir1, Ah.  I don't know then.  That's very odd.
[08:45] <rwc> ice_cream, I will have another look
[08:45] <Rly> hey
[08:45] <ir1> unperson:  my spelling needs work on today
[08:45] <unperson> ir1, But I'm not much of an expert in such things.

[08:46] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: what happens if you press alt+sysrq+k?
[08:46] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, i've tried with the ati drivers and the ones on ubuntu. They both give me this problem
[08:46] <n2diy> tecywiz121: shouldn't matter, it is on a list command.
[08:46] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: note sysrq is the print screen key
[08:46] <n2diy> *on/only
[08:46] <morphius_> in iptables: is it possible to forward a port to all addresses on a subnet (rather than select an ip address at random as is done with the -to-destination start-range end-range switch)?

[08:46] <PsyBan-> is there a way to get wine work on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:47] <tecywiz121> jsizzle, n2diy, root can't even do it

[08:47] <PsyBan-> is there a way to get wine work on 64bit ubuntu?
[08:47] <jsizzle> tecywiz121: what's the error from "ls -l / | grep home"

[08:47] <n2diy> tecywiz121: can you do it?
[08:47] <unperson> ice_cream, No, I didn't mention it.
[08:47] <morphius_> PsyBan: are you sury you have all the repos enabled?
[08:47] <PsyBan-> morphius_, atleas it didnt see it

[09:04] <n2diy> Rly: ya, its late though, so I won't on for long.
[09:04] <Quarupt> julian, Ubuntu is better I think I too made the jump from Sarge a while ago
[09:04] <julian> arrenlex.  mainly the old packages
[09:05] <julian> aside from that I'm happy with debian
[09:05] <arrenlex> julian: ...?? Don't tell me you're trying to run Debian Sarge?!
[09:05] <Quarupt> probably SID
[09:05] <julian> nah i run Etch, with alot of unstable and experimental packages
[09:05] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: There's a lot of things that could make it break only on your system. You could try googling your problem.
[09:05] <Nisa> hai
[09:05] <Quarupt> When will Ubuntu update the repos for gaim 2b6 is what I wanna know
[09:05] <arrenlex> julian: I run etch, and the packages are plenty up to date for me. About half the time I find that debian has a newer version of something than ubuntu does.
[09:05] <Perryman> trying to set up beryl to compete with roommate's vista.. heh
[09:06] <julian> hmmm, perhaps I've overestimated the newness of the Ubuntu packages
[09:06] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, I have, but I dont really know WHAT my problem is, And i've tried so many tuts and stuff. ALways the same thing happens in the end. How can i revert back to my old drivers to get my system back up?
[09:06] <julian> like right now gnome 2.16 is in experimental, but only part of it is working
[09:06] <xelados> I was referred here by #winehq to figure out how to get 32-bit versions of my video drivers since I'm using an AMD64 build of Xubuntu.
[09:06] <Kud|> Anyone have any idea why I am getting these errors when I try to install a program via make? http://pastebin.ca/338235
[09:06] <julian> theres alot of stuff I'd like to run, but doing it with gnome 2.14 is kind of a pain
[09:06] <xelados> I have an Nvidia Geforce 7600.
[09:06] <arrenlex> julian: Think of a couple utilities you really really need\want to be up to date, and look the package names up on packages.ubuntu.com and packages.debian.org
[09:06] <julian> yeah perhaps I will do that
[09:06] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Your old driver was probably ati or radeon. Do you know how to use nano?
[09:07] <julian> cause making the switch would take a very long time.  i have my desktop and laptop exactly the way I like it
[09:07] <n2diy> julian: with linux you get to experiment, with winders, you are the experiment.
[09:07] <Quarupt> arrenlex, why are you trying to keep someone on debian?
[09:07] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, no. I've been using apt-get. What is nano?
[09:07] <julian> n2diy, i dont use windows anymore
[09:07] <Kud|> anyone?
[09:08] <n2diy> julian: GOOD!
[09:08] <julian> Quarupt, cause hes giving me an unbias answer which i think is the correct way
[09:08] <arrenlex> Quarupt: is there some reason I shouldn't ask why he wants to run ubuntu if debian suits him fine and it's a hassle to upgrade?
[09:08] <arrenlex> Quarupt: upgrade -> change?
[09:08] <mortici> !samba
[09:08] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:08] <n2diy> Debian, Ubuntu, it is all in the same family.
[09:09] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: nano is a console text editor. It's a really easy thing to learn, but anyway, the command "sudo sed -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf 's/fglrx/radeon/g'" should get you up and running. Note the apostrpohes.
[09:09] <cstextiles> I had download mysql archive and untarred into a directory afterwards if i try to run the mysql server by typing mysql in the bin folder where the executable resides then it says command not found? even when i see that mysql has x at its rights
[09:09] <arrenlex> sudo sed -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf 's/fglrx/radeon/g'
[09:09] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, i usually use vim
[09:09] <mortici> can i add a feisty repo just so i can install the newer samba client?
[09:09] <witless> how do i find out what command is used to run an option on the menu?
[09:09] <julian> what version of gnome is in the latest Ubuntu?
[09:09] <earthmeLon> Oh, arrenlex, you just want me to revert to my backup I made of xorg.conf ? hehe
[09:09] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Oh. xD Well if you know vim that's even better. Use that to change fglrx to radeon in the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:10] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Yeah, or that.
[09:10] <earthmeLon> :-D
[09:10] <earthmeLon> I like making backups before i mess witht things i dont know about
[09:10] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Sorry for underestimating your abilities; in #ubuntu there's a lot of newbies so I spring for the lowest common denominator automatically.
[09:10] <cstextiles> I had download mysql archive and untarred into a directory afterwards if i try to run the mysql server by typing mysql in the bin folder where the executable resides then it says command not found? even when i see that mysql has x at its rights
[09:10] <n2diy> earthmeLon: a very good idea, but do you test them first?
[09:11] <earthmeLon> Huh? When the tut asked me to mess with xorg.con, the first thing i did was make a backup of the one that did work
[09:11] <sivik> is there a way to set up the sound to run multiply programs with sound at once
[09:11] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Just curious: what driver is that one using?
[09:12] <n2diy> earthmeLon: but does the backup work, when you need it, is a bad time to find out it is a coaster.
[09:12] <Kud|> Anyone have any idea why I am getting these errors when I try to install a program via make? http://pastebin.ca/338235
[09:12] <jinx091> holy crap, the feisty alpha 3 is pretty sick
[09:12] <arrenlex> Kud|: apt-get install build-essential
[09:12] <Yancho> guys u know of a good php system monitor ? ie some script that displays data in a website?
[09:13] <Quarupt> arrenlex, just saying Ubuntu has every single benefit of Debian I mean its based on SID right? and its more constantly upgraded and maintained
[09:13] <n2diy> ! php | Yancho
[09:13] <ubotu> Yancho: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:13] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, it says ati
[09:13] <cstextiles> for those who have their debian based system offline http://pypt-offline.sourceforge.net/ will be help of you for downloading the packages.
[09:13] <earthmeLon> by default
[09:14] <Yancho> n2diy its working my lamp setup :) i just want to know the php script
[09:14] <julian> arrenlex, looks like you guys have gnome 2.17
[09:14] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: You could change it to radeon, which is the free driver which sometimes gives you 3D acceleration as well.
[09:14] <julian> at least in feisty
[09:14] <n2diy> ! php | Yancho ok, gl.
[09:14] <ubotu> Yancho ok, gl.: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[09:14] <earthmeLon> okay
[09:14] <arrenlex> julian: feisty == sid. What does sid have?
[09:14] <Perryman> setting up mono-gac... hopefully this time it won't crash on me
[09:14] <earthmeLon> let me try that and then reboot arrenlex
[09:14] <n2diy> ???
[09:14] <earthmeLon> Thats all i'd need to do, change it and reboot, right?
[09:14] <julian> 2.16 .. sort of
[09:14] <Chura> Hey, i need help please
[09:14] <Chura> I need to install NGX on my linux. i get msg : bash: ./UnixInstallScript: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
[09:14] <julian> theres some packages in it
[09:14] <n2diy> Yancho ok, gl.
[09:15] <arrenlex> julian: *shrug* change to ubuntu if you like. I prefer debian.
[09:15] <julian> it wouldn't bother me too much, but compiling gnome from source is a pain in the ass
[09:15] <Chura> guys ? please ?
[09:16] <arrenlex> julian: Wait, what?
[09:16] <Xenguy> arrenlex: I have my preferences too, but you're in #ubuntu ?

[09:16] <mdious> Hi everyone, could I ask a really stupid question, I don't expect an answer for 2 reasons.  I never help anyone else in here, and it is a really stupid question...here it is anyway ^_^ - does changing the hostname of a machine usually result in the background image changing?
[09:16] <Tido`> ok I did something really stupid, I was trying to do the svn tutorial and I seem to have set my primary group to subversion (and I think this is making me unable to use sudo).  I'm the only account on the box.  What do I do?
[09:16] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, alright. Changed it to radeon and booted up. Booted perfectly. How do I test out the acceleration?
[09:17] <Perryman> I was installing updates earlier and i was also viewing screen savers, and i got to some f-photo view and it crashed when libdbus was installing
[09:17] <mortici> mdious: no
[09:17] <julian> hmm you're right.  some of the gnome packages are 2.17 it seems
[09:17] <Perryman> hopefully the reinstall takes this time
[09:17] <julian> gnome-desktop-data (2.17.90-0ubuntu1)
[09:17] <julian>     Common files for GNOME 2 desktop apps

[09:17] <Xenguy> arrenlex: oh I see you lack clue
[09:18] <arrenlex> <font size="3">earthmeLon: What does "glxinfo | grep render" say?</font>
[09:18] <Xenguy> arrenlex: cool - bye
[09:18] <Perryman> anyone know how to change the display from MiB to MB?
[09:18] <Slart> Perryman: where? using what software?
[09:18] <julian> oh well.  i guess i'll just start doing gnome compiles on my own i guess
[09:18] <earthmeLon> arrenlex, says i suck >_<. Says it is missing display and says no rendering
[09:19] <Perryman> Slart: for example in system monitor
[09:19] <Slart> Perryman: for many command line tools there is -H option

[09:19] <unperson> I'm trying to run Xgl/Compiz on my Edgy system.  I followed this guide to install Xgl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[09:19] <Slart> Perryman: I'm not sure you can.. I think you'll have to do it one place at a time.. I'll check system monitor
[09:19] <unperson> That seemed to work fine.  I was able to choose it as a session type in gdm and login.
[09:19] <mdious> Slart:  Is -H the same as --help?
[09:19] <Perryman> hm
[09:20] <Perryman> i was just comparing to windows where you can set that as a system setting
[09:20] <Tido`> ok I did something really stupid, I was trying to do the svn tutorial and I seem to have set my primary group to subversion (and I think this is making me unable to use sudo).  I'm the only account on the box.  What do I do?
[09:20] <unperson> Now I'm trying to get compiz to work, following this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz
[09:20] <Xenguy> Tido`: chgrp  ?
[09:20] <mdious> Tido:  you could reboot in recovery and fix up....
[09:21] <Perryman> sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1
[09:21] <Tido`> but how will I login, mdious?
[09:21] <Tido`> my user is no longer in the admins group
[09:22] <Xenguy> Tido`: rescue disk / CD ?
[09:22] <unperson> I added the lines "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa compiz --replace gconf & / gnome-window-decorator --replace" to the script for the Xgl session, but now I just get a blank desktop with nothing on it (no windows menus, nothing).  What am I doing wrong?
[09:22] <earthmeLon> Thank you for your help arrenlex
[09:22] <lori> hi intelligent linux gods.  anyone find a fix for the gnome keyring appearing twice when using wireless?
[09:23] <mdious> Tido:  isn't there a root acount?
[09:23] <mdious> *account
[09:23] <Ilovemypuppy> may I please have a website that will give me a lesson in working with mysql? Im trying to set up a forum site and I'm assuming thats one use of the LAMP server installation.
[09:23] <Slart> Perryman: I didn't find anything when I searched around briefly.. there might be a setting for gnome apps somewhere. Perhaps someone else knows more.. keep asking
[09:23] <Xenguy> mdious: ubu is kind of funny that way :-)
[09:23] <Perryman> ok
[09:23] <Perryman> thanks
[09:23] <Slart> Perryman: you might want to include that you're looking for a system wide solution
[09:23] <n2diy> Ilovemypuppy: mysql.org?
[09:23] <Perryman> ah
[09:23] <Perryman> i've actually got quite a bigger problem now
[09:24] <Perryman> i'm using synaptic to install mono-gac
[09:24] <Perryman> but upon setting up libdbus-1-cil it stops responding
[09:24] <Perryman> i've left it overnight and no changes in the monring
[09:24] <Perryman> *morning
[09:24] <Slart> sorry... haven't installed mono myself.. can't help you there
[09:24] <julian> is anybody perhaps familar with compiling gnome from source?
[09:25] <Ilovemypuppy> shit, im never going to figure this out, and I dont think i'll ever need to do major work on it. I just need to set up a username and a password
[09:25] <Perryman> it was in one of the "required updates"
[09:25] <n2diy> when does Dapper run it's daily cron jobs?
[09:25] <mdious> Xenguy:  there is no root account on ubuntu?
[09:25] <Xenguy> !root
[09:25] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:25] <Perryman> n2diy: no "  '   " required in "its" in that situation
[09:26] <n2diy> Perryman: ok, thanks for the grammer lesson! :) Why not?
[09:26] <Perryman> it's possessive
[09:26] <dbglt> is there anyway to disable the fsck on bootup?
[09:26] <Tido`> mdious: thanks, recovery mode doesn't actually have a log in, just makes you root thank god
[09:26] <Perryman> "it's" is a contraction for "it is" where when "it" owns something, that thing is "its"
[09:27] <n2diy> Perryman: yes, and it is Dappers cron job, no?
[09:27] <Perryman> which would be its
[09:27] <Perryman> :)
[09:27] <Chura> guys, please advice....
[09:27] <kyle_> Me too
[09:27] <lori> Sry, if one of you replied to my earlier request for info about gnome keyring, i didnt see it.  Does anyone out there know why keyring appears twice when using wireless?
[09:28] <mdious> Tido:  did not realise that thanks, I thought you still had to provide a root password
[09:28] <lori> I'm using Edgy and it was fine before.
[09:28] <n2diy> Perryman: ok, I stick to hardware and software, technical writing as a ways away.
[09:28] <irated_> Anyone know how to make it so that i can have more then one audio source!?
[09:28] <n2diy> *I/I'll

[09:29] <lori> Hi

[09:29] <irated_> Perryman, im a BSD user
[09:29] <irated_> but trying out ubuntu for desktop

[09:30] <Perryman> no, i'm more of a curious scientist
[09:30] <irated_> So um
[09:30] <irated_> Can i get some help
[09:30] <irated_> How do I make it so that my realtec sound card will
[09:30] <Perryman> more than one audio source?
[09:31] <irated_> let me play music and play ut2004
[09:31] <irated_> ?
[09:31] <Perryman> your chip on the sound card should have that capability
[09:31] <lori> I've managed to get beryl running on my ubuntu desktop, perryman. it's lovely.  I dont know if i could give any helpful advice to get it working on another system tho :)
[09:31] <irated_> well for some reason i play ut2004 and i cant listen to music
[09:31] <Perryman> hm
[09:31] <Perryman> maybe it takes control of the output
[09:32] <Perryman> my main problem is i can't get those libs
[09:32] <Perryman> i need to do more searching and keep pestering here :)
[09:32] <irated_> i think i may have got it

[09:32] <n2diy> ! cron | Perryman
[09:32] <ubotu> Perryman: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm

[09:35] <iulian> sny ideea? i'm a new to linux
[09:35] <n2diy> Perryman:  when replying to someone include there nick, so the message is highlighted for them, otherwise, it blends in with the rest of the noise.
[09:35] <n2diy>  when replying to someone include there nick, so the message is highlighted for them, otherwise, it blends in with the rest of the noise.
[09:35] <Tido`> iulian: it probably doesn't install a ftp server by default
[09:36] <lori> Iulian: I'm a complete noob.  using linux for the first time with ubuntu desktop.
[09:36] <iulian> Tido`, how can I do it?
[09:36] <Perryman> n2diy: yeah... gotta get used to that, i don't usually go on large channels
[09:36] <Tido`> iulian: well first do you want to actually have ftp or something like ssh/sftp?
[09:37] <n2diy> Perryman:  ok, and you do have tab completion.
[09:37] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Rly: The folder itself is in C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/</font>
[09:37] <irated_> hmm who isnt knew here
[09:37] <Perryman> n2diy: indeed
[09:37] <irated_> ?
[09:37] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Rly: Of that, I think pluginreg.dat and profiles.ini go into ~/mozilla/firefox</font>
[09:37] <lori> lol
[09:37] <iulian> well, I want it for a webserver
[09:37] <iulian> so I need ftp
[09:37] <Signal> Hmm.. I knew there were new peps here
[09:37] <lori> such a good question irated.
[09:37] <n2diy> Perryman:  ok, some folks don't realize that.
[09:38] <iulian> Tido`, I installed openssh-server and i suppose sftp is for using with ssh?
[09:38] <Perryman> indeed
[09:38] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Rly: and the folder inside the Profiles folder (with lots of random characters) corresponds to ~/.mozilla/firefox/<folder with random characters> on my system</font>
[09:38] <Tido`> yes iulian, and if it's just you accessing the server I highly recommend using sftp/ssh instead of ftp
[09:38] <n2diy> lori: I bet the answer is yes.
[09:38] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Rly: As for whether setting it up like that will actually cause you to move profiles.... *shrug* never tried it.</font>
[09:38] <lori> n2diy: hi luv.  do you have any info about gnome keyring issues?

[09:39] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Rly: i.e. $ ls ~/.mozilla/firefox</font>
[09:39] <arrenlex> <font size="3">pluginreg.dat  profiles.ini  u9ugxqyi.default</font>
[09:39] <Tido`> iulian: it's more secure to use sftp/ssh, but if you need a real ftp server, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProFTPD?action=show&redirect=ProFTP
[09:39] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Rly: Help any?</font>
[09:39] <lori> n2diy: all the same, thanks for a response :)
[09:39] <iulian> Tido`, just me and a friend will access this server
[09:40] <Tido`> iulian: are you accessing it from a windows or linux machine?
[09:40] <iulian> Tido`, what about installing sftp/?
[09:40] <n2diy> lori: nade
[09:40] <n2diy> *nade/nada
[09:40] <mdious> for ssh are most people here using open ssh or is there something betteR?
[09:40] <iulian> Tido`: from a windows machine
[09:40] <mdious> s/betteR/better
[09:40] <Tido`> iulian: install WinSCP on your windows machine, you'll find it works great.  Use whatever port you're using for ssh (probably 22)
[09:41] <Ace2016> Hi all how do i allow anyone to read and write to an entire folder full of files via the command line?

[09:42] <arrenlex> <font size="3">Ace2016: you mean, change the permission of the entire folder? chmod -R <permissions> <folder></font>

[09:50] <earthmeLon> arrenlex
[09:50] <Ace2016> n2diy: its already in my home dir, i think that the permissions are messed up because they were coppied from my ntfs partition so not write access
[09:50] <earthmeLon> I've gotten it to work with the new .33. drivers from ati released today ^______^
[09:50] <n2diy> lori: a problem because you can't sleep at night, or something won't play with the keyring(s)?

[09:53] <arrenlex> earthmeLon: Really? How?

[09:54] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[09:54] <wasabi__> !uuid
[09:54] <Hellevator> does anyone know how i can access vimtutor? typing it as the command line isn't working
[09:54] <Kud|> What's the command to start GTK-Theme?
[09:55] <n2diy> Ace2016: good, type "sudo chown -R username /home/username"
[09:55] <wasabi__> hmm okay. so i was using edgy and everything was fine until i updated to feisty. it can't seem to recognize my compact flash. i can't find it by uuid

[09:57] <n2diy> Ace2016: ??
[09:57] <yigal> yes, I have installed default vim
[09:58] <Hellevator> >_< then where's my vimtutor
[09:58] <yigal> Hell. just reinstall if you have that option
[09:58] <Hellevator> ok
[09:58] <n2diy> when does Dapper run its daily cron jobs?
[09:58] <yigal> I have it so you should have it :-)
[09:58] <lori> n2diy: Ace2016 is countin zzzz's
[09:58] <wasabi__> how do i list all available disk drives on the comp?

[09:59] <alecjw> wasabi_, sudo fdisk -l
[09:59] <lori> n2diy: i dont know. I was just hazarding a guess. heh
[09:59] <my_> how do i get firefox to run without restarting?
[09:59] <my_> how do i get firefox to run without restarting? its telling me i have to restart
[09:59] <yigal> my? what?

[09:59] <yu001> I am from china .hi.everybody.
[09:59] <Kud|> Anyone know how to start gtk-theme?
[09:59] <lori> n2diy: because i am bored and my linux is interesting even if it doesnt work right :D

[10:00] <my_> k
[10:00] <wasabi__> alecjw, i tried listing all dev by uuid, but it doesn't have it on there either
[10:00] <Ace2016> lol
[10:00] <Hellevator> yigal, I may have found the problem.  I just open synaptic to reinstall vim and I noticed that I only have vim-tiny installed, not the full version of vim.  That may be why I don't have vimtutor
[10:00] <yigal> listing /dev thats crazy
[10:00] <my_> wht is dcc++
[10:01] <yigal> Hell. great
[10:01] <yigal> install it all

[10:02] <Signal> Is there a list of motherboards tested with 6.1?  i.e. what success/failures and tips
[10:02] <lori> n2diy: how long are you willing to wait for an answer?
[10:02] <M3G4crux> hi to all
[10:02] <boci^> yeah, bug confirmed...
[10:02] <lori> M3G4crux: hi
[10:02] <yigal> hey M3G4
[10:02] <my_> how can i get a hold of a list of all rooms in irc?
[10:02] <n2diy> lori: hey, flashbacks are fun, most of the time. :) I guess Ace went down in flames? Umm on beer and one cig, both are currently cooking.
[10:03] <my_> how can i get a hold of a list of all rooms in irc?
[10:03] <n2diy> *one/on
[10:03] <arrenlex> my_: /list
[10:03] <lori> n2diy: nice to see your sense of humor is awake, even if you are craving sleepage.
[10:03] <amorphous_> ahh... gentlemen.... ahh ladies... good day to you all. anyone know why my sripts aren't performing killall functions? They're ok on his machine at home, but on another machine, they wont work at all, although if I type the command at a prompt it works fine. The only difference is that that one is logged in as a user, with not many priveleges. would that make a difference?
[10:04] <n2diy> lori: I'm almost a hippie too, a little on the yound side, but I add three older sisters, and one went to Boston College!
[10:04] <my_> c\_/
[10:04] <lori> n2diy: yound, eh?
[10:04] <n2diy> *yound/young
[10:04] <yigal>  amorphous absolutely
[10:04] <amorphous_> so in short, is here something that stops scripts from performing killall functions?
[10:04] <my_> :/list
[10:05] <Signal> no : my_
[10:05] <amorphous_> yigal, just firefox?
[10:05] <lori> 2ndiy: *chuckling like mad* Boston, really?  Sounds like your family got the better end of the genetic stick.
[10:05] <yigal> yes if the process is executed by root or other user that others have no rights to then you cant kill
[10:05] <yigal> for instance you run firefox as root
[10:05] <my_> my_/list
[10:05] <n2diy> lori: ok beat me up, Dapper is working here, on both my production box, and test box.  I'm happy.
[10:06] <yigal> you cant killall firefox with user guest if has no root access
[10:06] <yigal> ? is this what you are asking?
[10:06] <lori> n2diy: unlike my dislexic self.  ok, here's the issue:
[10:06] <yigal> sorrry I am rather drunk
[10:06] <amorphous_> yigal, sorry - should have said - it's run from the tooolbar, not from anpther user...
[10:06] <my_> my_: /list
[10:06] <n2diy> lori: dyslexic?
[10:06] <amorphous_> yigal, but yr doin' all right on the drunk front - i should have said..!
[10:07] <yigal> toolbar is gui, so whoever is logged on is the person executing the prgrm unless you use sudo
[10:07] <M3G4crux> any idea how to use opensync from evolution?
[10:07] <Signal> my_      just type   /list
[10:07] <lori> n2diy: i've got ubuntu edgy with schizophrenia.  the gnomey keyring thingy starts twice now when i use wireless
[10:07] <my_> how can i get a hold of a list of all rooms in irc?
[10:07] <yigal> my: what instant messaging client are you using
[10:07] <yigal> ?
[10:07] <amorphous_> yigal -yep! so why cant i kill it in a script?
[10:07] <lori> n2diy: spare me, oh grammer nazi.  i havent slept for want of linux info.
[10:07] <yigal> it has to do with permissions
[10:07] <Signal> since when does gramer kount in ircee?
[10:07] <yigal> you are using killall and you are sure you are using the right name?
[10:08] <ardchoille42> Signal, hahaha
[10:08] <yigal> you can also use pkill which is a little more general
[10:08] <yigal> but I think it is permission related
[10:08] <amorphous_> yigal... i open it as user, i can kill it in a prompt, but not with a script
[10:08] <n2diy> lori: omg a dyslexic running schizo software! OOkkkayyy! :) First problem is your running Edgy, and why is gnome asking for keyrings?
[10:08] <iulian> How can I start MySQL for the first time on Ubuntu 6.10?
[10:09] <lori> n2diy: what does your name represent?  i need some memory trick to help me type it  correctly...
[10:09] <n2diy> lori: I haven't played with wireless yet.
[10:09] <lori> n2diy: get crackin suga.
[10:09] <yigal> ah, the process in a gui is not the users but has the same privlages as the user
[10:09] <amorphous_> lori - why not n2[tab] ?
[10:09] <yigal> its like ps
[10:09] <yigal> now ps lists your processes in a terminal
[10:10] <lori> amorphous: good idea and some junk.
[10:10] <yigal> excuse me executed by a terminal
[10:10] <yigal> amorph: just try pkill
[10:10] <n2diy> lori: umm, it is my Ham Radio call sign, Nice Two Do It Yourself. Are you aware of command line completion, type n2, an hit tab, and it should auto complete?
[10:10] <yigal> I am sorry I can't give a short explanation
[10:10] <lori> amorphous: i love you geniuses.
[10:10] <amorphous_> yigal -Aye, and ps -A|grep firefox will show me if firefox is one of them
[10:11] <yigal> yes
[10:11] <lori> genius's ? lol, lack of sleep... i blame it.
[10:11] <yigal> right so the idea is to get the process id
[10:11] <yigal> for it
[10:11] <yigal> then kill #
[10:11] <yigal> # = process id
[10:11] <n2diy> amorphous_:  lori, he bug out, this is my date! :)
[10:11] <lori> n2diy: did you tell me that once before?
[10:11] <n2diy> *he/hey
[10:11] <yigal> :-)
[10:12] <yigal> later, have an awsome weekend
[10:12] <lori> n2diy: i am now loving this tab completion you speek of.
[10:12] <lori> hah, speak
[10:12] <amorphous_> yigal - thanks, man - you too....
[10:12] <n2diy> lori: umm, yeh, like my short term memory is any better than yours?
[10:12] <amorphous_> yigal - dont forget to drink water, fella
[10:12] <lori> i'm really not that bad at spelling!!! give me a break...
[10:12] <lori> n2diy: it seems fine to me.
[10:13] <ootput> argh, just rebooted my computer after an edgy update, and I'm dropped into a shell after the root filesystem couldn't be found
[10:13] <lori> i'm lovin this tab thing.. hehehehehheheheheh
[10:13] <ootput> there's not too much description on it, so I've no idea how to diagnose it from the shell :(
[10:13] <ootput> has this happened to anyone else?
[10:13] <n2diy> lori: well, I don't remember chatting with you before, let alone telling you anything. :?
[10:13] <amorphous_> n2diy, explain? n2diy bugged out, or you are n2diy's date?
[10:14] <n2diy> amorphous_: just joking, your moving in on me, not.
[10:14] <amorphous_> lori - you know you can use that at the promt to fill out commands & filenames too???
[10:14] <lori> n2diy: i had some help a while back with my wireless nonsense.
[10:14] <lori> cant remember what that wonderful person's id was.
[10:14] <amorphous_> n2diy, nah - just trying to make sense of you!
[10:15] <cpk1> how would I set it up so my iptables rules get remembered? /sbin/iptables-restore /etc/network/iptables.rules in /etc/rc.local doesnt seem to be doing it
[10:15] <woodsb02> hey guys. my atheros wireless device isnt working in feisty herd 3. anyone know why?

[10:18] <woodsb02> anyone here use feisty and have an atheros wireless device? it dont work for me at all! is there anywhere i can ask some developers about it?
[10:18] <n2diy> amorphous_: Ok, somewhere in GB? I'm on the east coast of the US.

[10:22] <MTecknology> Is there any way to either get the password out of an excel file or recover the data from within it?

[10:25] <n2diy> lori: Well the technoligies were exported, and the industries are gone, but, hopefully, Ubuntu will germinate here too.
[10:25] <Signal> Ah.. I grew up in O.C.   moved here from H.B.
[10:25] <Hellevator> signal, actually im more in N.B. I just go to school in Irvine

[10:31] <raven> I tried ndiswrapper, but no luck
[10:31] <lori> amorphous: ndiswrapper werked fer me.
[10:31] <n2diy> amorphous_: what question are you folks working, I couldn't find it?
[10:32] <lori> raven: keep at it.  you'll get it fixed eventually!
[10:32] <raven> I might be doing something wrong, I can install the drivers but it just won't detect the card
[10:32] <amorphous_> raven, lori - it has worked for me - but it has also not worked for me too :/

[10:32] <lori> n2diy: how do i get into that other chat area? I may as well jump in there, if i cant get my other problems sorted.
[10:32] <amorphous_> n2diy, I can't get a script to kill processes...

[10:35] <Hellevator> worked thanks signal, just curious... what is the '-' in the su command for?
[10:35] <_Qwerty_> anyone know if there are any problems with Intel ICH5 and ubuntu 6.10?
[10:35] <lori> bash: /join: No such file or directory is what i see...
[10:35] <Signal> It'll load your profile.. otherwise it'll just get you to that user
[10:35] <amorphous_> n2diy, it's cool. I gotta get up outa my bed and go try to sort it in a bit. It's in a cafe & I dont wanna spend loads of time there - so I was hoping i might get some help in here...
[10:35] <n2diy> amorphous_: knock off the --, where did the come from?
[10:36] <ardchoille42> Hellevator,  The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.

[10:42] <lori> n2diy: to keep from offending the more technically-minded persons, i'm heading to off-topic arena.  bye :)
[10:43] <amorphous_> KellyHudson, please don't call me sir. I'm human - the same as you.

[10:51] <ardchoille42> Quarupt, How did you install the plugin?
[10:51] <Quarupt> with apt
[10:51] <Quarupt> but just reinstalling the mplayer one doesnt make it take over
[10:52] <KellyHudson> amorphous_: what room?
[10:52] <ardchoille42> Quarupt, It would be best to uninstall it with the pm you used to install it and then install the mplayer one
[10:52] <n2diy> amorphous_: the kiosk software I was looking for ten minutes ago, I finally figured out how to spell it.
[10:52] <amorphous_> the one you said hello in earlier!

[10:55] <Quarupt> ardchoille42, the gxine one work except when the site requires authentication, you know for sites you need to login to to view the movies?
[10:55] <ardchoille42> Quarupt, Yeah
[10:56] <Quarupt> ardchoille42, thats the only reason I wanna try a new plugin
[10:57] <adaptr> D3a: not a chance

[11:04] <Nabiki> Awesome device, especially if you can afford the 900$ one ^^;;
[11:04] <Hellevator> I've heard that I can dramatically reduce the time it takes open office to open if I disable its java features. Does anyone know how to do this?
[11:04] <bart__> I just can't get it working
[11:05] <Nabiki> I see ~~
[11:05] <Nabiki> ^^
[11:05] <yuk> anybody know how to drive touchscreen?
[11:05] <bart__> I tried the several forums about the subject, but nothing seems to help
[11:06] <Hellevator> nevermind I found a thread on the forums about it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135115&highlight=speed+up+open+office
[11:06] <raven> I hate the wireless network. It's just trouble :(
[11:07] <Nabiki> Same here. :(
[11:07] <frogzoo> touchscreens work if you have a supported driver
[11:08] <amorphous_> Ooopps! that was bit bit of a shock!
[11:08] <sire1> howto block a port in ubuntu?
[11:09] <frogzoo> Hellevator: in oo -> tools -> options -> java - use a java runtime environment - disable - but doesn't seem any faster for me, I use the OO fast start/memory resident thingy
[11:10] <ardchoille42> sire1, There aren't any ports open by default
[11:10] <frogzoo> sire1: iptables or firestarter for newbs
[11:11] <Hellevator> frogzoo, i increased the amount of memory OO can use and told it to use java6 instead of gcj
[11:11] <Hellevator> and that seems to have helped
[11:11] <Hellevator> i won't really know until i restart.
[11:11] <frogzoo> Hellevator: do you have the fast start enabled?
[11:12] <amorphous_> n2diy, DID YOU SAY YOU NEVER USED PESSULUS
[11:12] <Hellevator> frogzoo, you mean the "systray quickstarter"?
[11:12] <amorphous_> Oops. Sorry (caps)
[11:12] <sire1> I just installed conky and it shows, that someone from outbound is connecting to 3127 port
[11:12] <frogzoo> Hellevator: yes
[11:12] <sire1> Whitch is possible a virus..
[11:13] <Hellevator> no i don't.  but i don't think i need it honestly.  OO is starting really fast right now.
[11:13] <frogzoo> !conky
[11:13] <ubotu> conky: highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.2-1 (edgy), package size 118 kB, installed size 376 kB
[11:13] <ardchoille42> I tried to master iptables once.. made my brain hurt
[11:14] <frogzoo> ardchoille42: but it's extremely powerful, firestarter is fine though just for blocking a couple of ports
[11:14] <ardchoille42> frogzoo, Too bad my brain isn't "extremely powerful" lol
[11:14] <sebastw> bonjour  tous
[11:14] <Hellevator> "extremely powerful" == "extremely complicated"
[11:15] <ardchoille42> Hellevator, YEah, usually
[11:16] <frogzoo> Hellevator: any ideas why OO would need a jre?
[11:17] <Hellevator> frogzoo, I believe OO is actually programmed in Java so thats a big reason.  I'm not sure how they even made it possible for it to run without it.
[11:17] <Hellevator> I thought all java programs needed to have JRE installed.
[11:17] <riotkittie> 2

[11:22] <cyzie> just curious, linux is known to be non virus OS. but lately i see some antivirus for linux, what is that so ?
[11:22] <ardchoille42> sebastw, try asking in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:22] <mabus> how come vlc plays WMV files just fine, but mozilla-plugin-vlc does not work?

[11:22] <Ivanhoe> hallo
[11:23] <frogzoo> anyone can point me how to capture flash streams from youtube?
[11:23] <Hellevator> frogzoo, I look up the answer.  Seems the core of OpenOffice is actually written in C++ but since version 2.0 several features are written in Java.  hence needing the JRE.
[11:23] <ardchoille42> cyne, Lost of people dual-boot Linux and Windows, so they use a virus checker so they don't pass viruses on to the Windows box.

[11:25] <cyzie> frogzoo, those antivirus to scan windows files in linux fileserver :D or mail
[11:26] <ardchoille42> Ivanhoe, Just pop the livecd into the cd reader, reboot and set your BIOS to boot from cd
[11:26] <riotkittie> Ivanhoe: use... persistantly?
[11:26] <frogzoo> cyzie: got it thx, & yes, linux makes a great virus detector, specially cos it's mostly virus immune
[11:26] <riotkittie> like maintain settings and changes?
[11:27] <ardchoille42> riotkittie, I didn't know you could do that with Ubuntu livecd
[11:27] <Ivanhoe> yes, riotkittie, thats what i want
[11:28] <pi1l> hello! who can show me xorg.conf, configured for dual monitors, please?
[11:28] <riotkittie> ardchoille42: yea, you can. or at least you can with dapper from what i understand
[11:28] <Ivanhoe> how?
[11:28] <riotkittie> Ivanhoe: hold on a sec. it's mentioned in one of my books, let me see if i can find the page and sum it up
[11:28] <raven> I'd do everything to get this wireless working... I hate this.
[11:29] <raven> anything, that should be :D
[11:29] <Ivanhoe> k, thx
[11:31] <abo> what is the print command line that I must use to print a page into a pdf file (or ps file)
[11:33] <riotkitt1e> Ivanhoe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[11:36] <frogzoo> ok, half way there- how do I convert an .flv file into a playable format? or is there an .flv codec?
[11:36] <riotkittie> frogzoo: excellent question. i miss my .flv collection :<
[11:36] <Chousuke> mplayer or vlc will play them
[11:37] <frogzoo> kewl, thx
[11:37] <Chousuke> just about any player should, I think
[11:37] <Kud|> is there a way to autodetect sound cards?
[11:37] <Jordan_U> My sound isn't working
[11:37] <riotkittie> !sound | Jordan_U
[11:37] <ubotu> Jordan_U: 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
[11:38] <Chousuke> Kud|: they should be automatically detected already.
[11:38] <Kud|> Chousuke: It's not and according to Ubuntu wiki, it's support. :/
[11:38] <Kud|> supported*
[11:38] <Chousuke> Kud|: hm, weird.
[11:38] <pi1l> BusID       "AGP:01:00:0" - that is a line from xorg.conf for one video-out. what it will be for the second?
[11:39] <Chousuke> take a look at those pages listed in the sound factoid.
[11:39] <oxigen> i dont have gnome-volume control in menus, but it's installed! how to setup this?
[11:39] <Chousuke> wow, lots of people having trouble with sound.
[11:39] <ardchoille42> riotkittie, That is a nice article. Thank you for the link.
[11:39] <frogzoo> ok, that's completely awesome
[11:40] <oxigen> sound sucks from a linux start
[11:40] <frogzoo> Chousuke: works a treat, thx
[11:40] <riotkittie> ardchoille42: youre welcome
[11:40] <Kud|> Chousuke: I just noticed something, I can't unmute ALSA
[11:41] <Alan71> hi
[11:41] <CptS> hi
[11:41] <oxigen> and this totem crap is still default!?
[11:41] <Ivanhoe> thx riotkittie, I will try it ... but one question, I have an external HD with data on it, can I use this hd for the persistently live cd without erasing the data on it?
[11:41] <Chousuke> Kud|: I don't really know how to debug sound. :/
[11:41] <frogzoo> oxigen: ignore totem, get gxine which is awesome
[11:42] <oxigen> frogzoo: i know, but why they still persist with this totem crap?
[11:42] <CptS> I've just installed a new ubuntu server, but somehow i can only address it using it's IP address. what's the pkg i need to install in order to set up some sort of dns?
[11:42] <CptS> (o
[11:42] <CptS> (i'm quite the newbie, btw)
[11:43] <riotkittie> Ivanhoe: i imagine you'd need to make a new partition on that drive, in a linux friendly format.
[11:44] <oxigen> so, no one knows how to add gnome-volume-control in menu??!
[11:44] <amorphous_> could someone tell me the name of the gnome-desktop package?
[11:44] <frogzoo> oxigen: yep, it would make perfect sense to default to gxine or vlc
[11:44] <riotkittie> oxigen: which menu are you trying to add it to?
[11:44] <oxigen> riotkittie: wherever!
[11:44] <oxigen> just in menu!
[11:46] <oxigen> it's also stupid that you cant put app easy in menus!
[11:46] <thomas> hi everyone
[11:46] <thomas> i have some problems with my usplash
[11:47] <erUSUL> oxigen: Right click on menu; choose edit menu; add the entry you want <<<<
[11:47] <oxigen> erUSUL: but there is no volume-control icon!
[11:47] <Ivanhoe> riotkittie: okay and If I decide to use an usb stick, what size do you think must have it?
[11:47] <noneee> hello, who can tell me info on memory usage of xubuntu?
[11:47] <Bu-Omar> hello, is there a pdf editor for Ubuntu ?
[11:48] <noneee> is xubuntu is it a good replacement for gnome?
[11:48] <erUSUL> oxigen: right click in pane; choose add to panel; add a volume control applet <<<<
[11:48] <astroboy> n #slug
[11:48] <erUSUL> right click on panel*
[11:49] <Slart> Bu-Omar: I don't think there is... except for ones coming from Adobe... at least I've never seen one
[11:49] <Nabiki> noneee:  If you try to install something that requires a chunk of gnome that xubuntu doesn't already have, then apt-get/synaptic will install what you need too. :)
[11:49] <wg|Rage_nox> hi
[11:49] <Nabiki> Slart:  Does Adobe support an editor for Linux? ^.^
[11:49] <Slart> Nabiki: I have no idea.. probably not
[11:49] <erUSUL> Nabiki: no that i know of
[11:50] <Slart> Nabiki: I was talking generally.. windows/linux/mac whatever
[11:50] <Nabiki> :P  If they did, it would be cool.  ^^;;
[11:50] <noneee> Nabiki, I just wanted to know memory usage of xubuntu
[11:50] <Slart> yes, that would be nice
[11:50] <Nabiki> OpenOffice will save as a PDF, but it won't open an existing one for edit.
[11:51] <Nabiki> noneee:  Memory wise, it is much lower overhead than KDE or Gnome.
[11:51] <Slart> the gimp will open for edit.. but it will probably not be what you want
[11:51] <wg|Rage_nox> i have problems running my xserver with my nvidia grafix card
[11:51] <dooooomi> hi! what is the right place in ubuntu to change $LD_LIBRARY_PATH globally?
[11:51] <frogzoo>  dooooomi /etc/environment
[11:52] <oxigen> erUSUL: it work only if i add custom application launcher, which is stupid!
[11:52] <mondoshawan> hi all
[11:52] <dooooomi> frogzoo: that's what i thought, but it doesn't work
[11:52] <Ivanhoe> hi mondoshawan
[11:53] <wg|Rage_nox> hi
[11:53] <oxigen> erUSUL: now i have icon with a question mark :/
[11:53] <dooooomi> frogzoo: it works for other variables, but somehow $LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be a special case
[11:53] <riotkittie> Ivanhoe: of that, i am not really sure, sorry.
[11:53] <mondoshawan> can somebody tell me how can i activate that when i am typing in console sudo apt-get install jav  And then typing the Tabulator button that he shows me the packages?
[11:54] <hbaigu> dooooomi, you can add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf
[11:54] <pequatre> hi. does anyone know how to disable a tty ? i'd like to keep tty1 and 2 only...
[11:54] <oxigen> i wonder what computers have gnome coders? zx-spectrum?
[11:54] <wg|Rage_nox> mondoshawan: "apt-cache search jav"
[11:54] <wg|Rage_nox> there u get the packages
[11:54] <erUSUL> oxigen: you want a volume control applet, just right click on pane; choose add to panel; add a volume control applet it is that easy.... no custom launcher no anything it is under system and hardware category...
[11:54] <mondoshawan> thanks
[11:55] <frogzoo> dooooomi: you log out/back in?
[11:56] <dooooomi> frogzoo: yep, didn't help
[11:56] <dooooomi> hbaigu: is there a way to change the order in which paths are searched for libraries? i need my own path to come before /usr/lib...
[11:56] <OldMan_> hi
[11:57] <hbaigu> dooooomi, you put in order, the first is the first
[11:58] <Filox> hello to evryone!!!!   i have installed xubuntu on my pc, but when i select kernel version from grub menu , i cant see anything until x appears. I must config grub terminal like lilo vga=799 remenber? how can i do?
[11:58] <nothlit> dooooomi: you know LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't really something you're supposed to touch right?
[11:58] <nothlit> !grub | Filox
[11:58] <ubotu> Filox: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:59] <erUSUL> Filox: in grub config just delete splash and quiet boot parameters.... maybe the splash screen is not working for you
[12:00] <hbaigu> dooooomi, you have to run 'sudo ldconfig' to generate the cache
[12:01] <Yancho> guys maybe u know .. have any idea of a software that receives gps coordinates from a bluetooth gps dongle and can store them in a text file / database / somehwere?
[12:01] <dooooomi> hbaigu: /usr/lib is not even in ld.so.conf, so putting my own path first doesn't seem to be possible

[12:03] <Assargadon> How can I force my Ubuntu to be gateway (like windows ICS) ?

[12:04] <Assargadon> How can I force my Ubuntu to be gateway (like Windows ICS) ?
[12:04] <Bagoor> Assargadon, using IPTables
[12:04] <nothlit>  Bagoor -d
[12:04] <Assargadon> Bagoor, but IPtables is firewall, isn't it?
[12:05] <Bagoor> nothlit, -d is for existance, what should I use if I want to tell not exist ?
[12:05] <Bagoor> Assargadon, yes, but it has the NAT feature too
[12:05] <dooooomi> nothlit: ok, let me rephrase my question then... how do i make sure that my own version of a library (compiled from source) is used, instead of the one already in /usr/lib?
[12:05] <bimberi> Assargadon: try firestarter (frontend to iptables)
[12:06] <nothlit> Bagoor: ||
[12:06] <Assargadon> bimberi: thanks, I'll try thee now
[12:06] <Bagoor> nothlit, if [ || -d "abc" ]  <-- is it right ?
[12:06] <hbaigu> dooooomi, you compile with ./configure --prefix=/usr
[12:07] <eztk> is it possible to automatically deploy the security updates? i often have to keep going through the cumbersome process to deploy them, i.e., entering password clicking ok etc etc
[12:07] <frogzoo> dooooomi: you want ldconfig methinks
[12:07] <hjmills> can anybody recommend a full screen media player for use one an ubuntu based media centre?
[12:07] <Christoffer> Does anyone know how to see the bandwidth incomming/outcomming?
[12:08] <frogzoo> dooooomi: strange /etc/environment doesn't work - you weren't using env variables in there were you?
[12:08] <dooooomi> hbaigu: i don't like to overwrite the files from the ubuntu package, that would be even worse than LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[12:08] <nothlit> Bagoor: rofl no
[12:09] <hbaigu> dooooomi, then you make a package
[12:09] <nothlit> Bagoor: if you need general linux help, i suggest ##linux (only use #bash if you dare to)
[12:09] <dooooomi> frogzoo: nope, i weren't. i don't understand why this didn't work either, but somewhere else the value of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be reset
[12:09] <Christoffer> Does anyone know how to see the bandwidth incomming/outcomming?
[12:09] <frogzoo> dooooomi: sure, just add it to /etc/ld.so.conf   & run ldconfig
[12:09] <riotkittie> argh. there needs to be a 'select all for complete removal' under not installed/residual config section in synaptic :\
[12:09] <hbaigu> Christoffer, there are the applet netspeed
[12:10] <Christoffer> hbaigu, that would mean? :)
[12:10] <hbaigu> Christoffer, from gnome
[12:10] <dooooomi> frogzoo: yeah, but then the library in /usr/lib will still be found before my own version
[12:11] <nothlit> dooooomi: can't you do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=mydir:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
[12:11] <Nabiki> I have a coding question: Are there any suggestions for naming conventions?  There are several out there, and the all claim to be "The Standard."
[12:12] <hbaigu> Christoffer, netspeed - Traffic monitor applet for GNOME
[12:12] <riotkittie> Christoffer: if youre using GNOME, right click on a panel, add to panel ... you should see it there
[12:12] <eztk> christoffer: i use Gnome Network Monitor 0.4 applet
[12:12] <eztk> christoffer: it shows the k/s for rx and tx
[12:12] <eztk> no fancy graphs or anything
[12:13] <dooooomi> nothlit: i can, but the question is where to do that, so that the library path will be used by every app, in every user account
[12:13] <eztk> you can use it to monitor whichever interface you like, like eth1
[12:13] <frogzoo> dooooomi: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xxx
[12:13] <frogzoo> dooooomi: in /etc/environment - definately sets the env var, just checked it
[12:13] <Ivanhoe> I am going for cooking ... good bye
[12:13] <nothlit> dooooomi: /etc/profile ?
[12:13] <BabyBat> Hi every one
[12:14] <dooooomi> frogzoo: i'll try it again...
[12:14] <frogzoo> dooooomi: check that /etc/environment is 644
[12:14] <frogzoo> nothlit: wierd, where's your PATH set ?
[12:15] <nothlit> frogzoo: /etc/profile
[12:15] <nothlit> frogzoo: not running ubuntu atm
[12:15] <BabyBat> Anyone ever installed this splash theme (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=50468) to 6.06?
[12:16] <nothlit> !splash | Bagoor
[12:16] <ubotu> Bagoor: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[12:16] <nothlit> Bagoor: oops sry
[12:16] <nothlit> !splash | BabyBat

[12:18] <frogzoo> dooooomi: can't win :(
[12:18] <dooooomi> frogzoo: the weird thing is that i can set other variables in /etc/environment, but not $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[12:19] <Tatster> Hi all.  Is there an equivalent app to Picasa available for Ubuntu?
[12:19] <nothlit> Wibble-: quake3
[12:19] <frogzoo> Tatster: yes, it's called Picasa
[12:19] <nothlit> Tatster: yes, fspot, but you can install picasa for ubuntu as well
[12:19] <Wibble-> nothlit: isn't there a benchmark that isn't a game? (I mean something like 3dmark for Linux)
[12:20] <eztk> im so glad the stoopid control+backspace combination has been disabled.. i used to accidentally reset gnome all the time :p
[12:20] <wg|Rage_nox> i have problems running my xserver with my nvidia grafix card
[12:20] <nothlit> Wibble-: http://www.tomshardware.com/2000/08/11/nvidia_3d_under_linux/page7.html
[12:20] <hbaigu> eztk, i fell the opposite
[12:20] <nothlit> Wibble-: most people just run glxgears rofl (even though it isn't really a benchmark)
[12:21] <Wibble-> sweet nothlit - thanks.  Did you google that, or know it? If you googled, what did you google for? (and I couldn't get glxgears to tell me a fps figure!!!)
[12:21] <nothlit> !picasa | Tatster
[12:21] <ubotu> Tatster: Picasa from Google can be downloaded in .deb format from: http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html
[12:21] <nothlit> Wibble-: linux 3d benchmark
[12:21] <Wibble-> heh... thats what I googled for too :/
[12:21] <mabus> how do you manage what services get stopped started at booot
[12:22] <nothlit> Wibble-: you run glxgears -info
[12:22] <Wibble-> ohhhhh ok - thanks again nothlit
[12:22] <dooooomi> nothlit: same for /etc/profile, btw
[12:22] <Tatster> fantastic.  Thanks all.   I looked on the google site but didn't find those Linux pages.  :-)
[12:23] <nothlit> dooooomi: have you tried restarting?

[12:40] <ubotu> gaminggeek: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[12:40] <cherva> changing ownership on a file from a console ???
[12:41] <nothlit> gaminggeek: you need to update your fstab to point to the correct swap partition
[12:41] <hbaigu> cherva, chown user:group file
[12:42] <rc-1> nothlit, hmmm theres nothing in the firefox manager thing, is there a command line to change what opens a filetype?
[12:43] <dooooomi> hbaigu, what should i look for in 'ldconfig -v -N'? my own path is listed first there, but still the library is not found
[12:43] <gaminggeek> ID_FS_UUID=5680b40b-3091-4ed6-8e5a-1e0b5af0a562 | UUID=5680b40b-3091-4ed6-8e5a-1e0b5af0a562 none swap sw 0 0
[12:43] <frogzoo> dooooomi: clearly X or gnome is resetting the variable
[12:43] <nothlit> rc-1: like i said, if firefox uses gnome-open you can use the right click PROPERTIES open with method
[12:43] <cherva> chown NEWUSER:group file
[12:43] <cherva> ??
[12:44] <cherva> not working man
[12:44] <vhellmet> how do I compille a module? Actually trying to compile 'saa7134' for CentOS
[12:44] <nothlit> rc-1: otherwise maybbe use galternatives/gconf-editor, but i wouldn't know, i don't use firefox
[12:44] <nothlit> vhellmet: #centos
[12:44] <vhellmet> yea.. but, for some reason, I can't seem to get help there..
[12:44] <frogzoo> dooooomi: does this need to be global or just per user?
[12:44] <vhellmet> no one is chatting
[12:45] <nothlit> cherva: you may need sudo and -R if its a folder
[12:45] <gaminggeek> nothlit, they are the same already
[12:45] <znerk__> hi there..
[12:45] <cherva> no it is a file and I'm in su Mode (actually it is a txt file in /bin )
[12:46] <nothlit> gaminggeek: obviously the uuid is wrong or your fstab line is
[12:46] <znerk__> Can any1 help me with installing raR?

[12:46] <hbaigu> cherva, do the NEWUSER exits?
[12:46] <znerk__> I write : sudo aptitude install rar
[12:46] <dooooomi> hbaigu, could this have anything to do with the fact that i manually made a link to the library (basically doing ldconfig's job)? the problem is that the names of the libraries don't match, the link in question is "libjack-0.100.0.so.0 -> libjack.so.0"

[12:47] <dooooomi> frogzoo: global would be nice, but i guess a per user solution might do as well
[12:47] <frogzoo> dooooomi: why not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ~/.gnomerc ?
[12:47] <gaminggeek> ID_FS_UUID=5680b40b-3091-4ed6-8e5a-1e0b5af0a562
[12:47] <dooooomi> frogzoo: because i'm not running gnome ;)
[12:47] <cherva> yes i'm logged with the user cherva and i have a file in /bin that i want to make not root but cherva's owner
[12:47] <gaminggeek> They are the same
[12:48] <znerk__> Those page didnt help me any..
[12:49] <hbaigu> cherva, sudo chown cherva: file
[12:49] <nothlit> gaminggeek:you checked with blkid ?
[12:49] <znerk__> my problem is that even I have installed unrar-free ARchive manager can't open rar files..
[12:49] <lesshaste> what's the easiest way to get spamassassin to work with thunderbird?  I suppose I have to run fetchmail from thunderbird and then pipe it through postfix??

[12:50] <hbaigu> cherva, by the way a txt file in /bin owned by a user, is not a correct way.

[12:50] <NoEvidenZ> I've put in my Quake CD, it comes up as having music, but how can I look at the other files on the CD?
[12:51] <nothlit> znerk__: IIRC you need unrar or rar, unrar-free doesn't work with file-roller
[12:51] <christopherl> anyone know how to change the color of hostname ( christopherl@christopherl ) in Gnome terminal? It would look cool
[12:52] <gaminggeek> nothlit, the number is fine
[12:52] <BabyBat> >ubotu< Do you have any other ideas what can be wrong with Usplash, I`ve installed another splash from kubuntu, it shows on exit but not at startup

[12:57] <gianny> there are differences on performance between 32 and 64bit versions?
[12:57] <riotkittie> shiv: im not sure if it will help as im not sure what your error /i am not in X/ ... but in a term, type firefox --safe-mode
[12:57] <NoEvidenZ> Can anyone tell me how I can find the files on my cdrom?
[12:57] <znerk__> click the cd room?
[12:57] <izrok> :)
[12:57] <nothlit> gianny: not unless you do video/audio/image editing or 3d rendering
[12:57] <riotkittie> not sure what your error is , rather.
[12:57] <NoEvidenZ> Tried that. It just comes up as a music cd.
[12:57] <shiv> riotkittie: I am just uninstalling it completely and then reinstalling. Lets see
[12:57] <nothlit> gaminggeek: run 'blkid'
[12:57] <christopherl> ardchoille42:thanks
[12:58] <gianny> i have to use matlab and cad software
[12:58] <gaminggeek> nothlit, the command has changed to vol_id and yes I have checked that
[12:58] <riotkittie> shiv: i might end up doing that myself :\
[12:58] <shiv> riotkittie: that worked.
[12:58] <riotkittie> firefox keeps dying with a seg fault each time i try to visit a certain website :\
[12:58] <gaminggeek> the number is right

[12:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ghostscript - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:59] <nothlit> gaminggeek: ok what /dev/hda# or sda# is your swap partition
[12:59] <riotkittie> frogzoo: yes
[12:59] <frogzoo> riotkittie: bump up storage to 10M may help
[01:00] <jhai1> Looking at the repository (in synaptic) there appear to be various versions of ghostscript.  Where can I find what the differences are?
[01:00] <NoEvidenZ> Heh, found it. Damn I feel stupid.
[01:00] <y3it221_klce> !g command to mount ntfs

[01:01] <gaminggeek> as you can see the number is the same
[01:02] <riotkittie> Ok that is weird. suddenly it works fine again, without having had to do anything.
[01:03] <riotkittie> then again, i suppose its not that weird as it suddenly stopped working with my having done nothing :P
[01:03] <riotkittie> and firefox has a long history of doing things to drive me insane. hmmph.
[01:03] <crazy_bus> I'm trying to convert a flash video to ogg theora with ffmpeg2theora.  However for some reason with this particular file its only recognising the audio.  How do I fix this?
[01:04] <gaminggeek> nothlit, I have even done an md5 sum of the 2 strings
[01:04] <gaminggeek> it is the same number
[01:04] <gaminggeek> it is not the number
[01:04] <znerk__> Best Direct Connect client?

[01:08] <gaminggeek> nothlit, blkid is broken!
[01:08] <BabyBat> -nothlit- When I am runnung sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r) I am getting this: Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... what wrong?

[01:09] <riotkittie> at the risk of sounding totally stupid... /what/ am i supposed to be right-clicking on ? :P
[01:09] <nothlit> riotkittie: the filetype

[01:09] <NoEvidenZ> anyone know how to make WINE emulate a DOS program instead of running it as a windows nt program?
[01:09] <frogzoo> riotkittie: the flash window
[01:09] <frogzoo> NoEvidenZ: dosemu perhaps?
[01:09] <nothlit> gaminggeek: yes ' run this command in a !shell:  blkid '
[01:10] <Xappe> NoEvidenZ: you could try one of the DOS-emulators out there...dosemu, dosbox...
[01:10] <gaminggeek> ah ha
[01:10] <riotkittie> frogzoo: ah, okay
[01:10] <NoEvidenZ> frogzoo: Xappe: Might have to, eh?
[01:10] <NoEvidenZ> frogzoo: Xappe: THanks.
[01:10] <gaminggeek> well on the wiki it has a different command
[01:10] <nothlit> gaminggeek: the WIKI article explains the move to uuid and the backend implmentation, not that blkid is broken.

[01:13] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse

[01:15] <Znortfl> Hello ubuntu people, I got a logitech gamepad (usb) and I am not able to configure it's buttons (tried it with gnometris). Is there any driver or special program I need to recognize its input?
[01:15] <BabyBat> >ubotu< I did everything exactly as described in USplashCustomizationHowto the only thing that I1ve noticed is "Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
[01:15] <BabyBat> Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:15] <BabyBat> Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ..." where it looks for the splash image?
[01:15] <Ilovemypuppy> Hey thank you guys VERY much!!! that was REALLY easy to do the LAMP server, I thought it would be WAY harder than that
[01:15] <Ilovemypuppy> is it that easy on regular Debian?
[01:16] <SoulChild> Hey why does it take so long if i copy a 500 MB file on my MMC Card ,... ????
[01:16] <nothlit> BabyBat: you should follow the instructions the usplash theme gives you
[01:16] <nothlit> BabyBat: and ubotu is a bot, not a person
[01:16] <SoulChild> Please help me ...
[01:16] <frogzoo> BabyBat: update-grub fails to recognise workable splash images - you're best off booting grub, & seeing if the images display from the grub prompt
[01:17] <SoulChild> :(
[01:17] <nothlit> frogzoo: he wants a usplash image, not a grub splash
[01:17] <nothlit> Ilovemypuppy: i don't think debian has a server disc, so no, but it shouldn't be that hard either
[01:18] <Ilovemypuppy> I mean getting mysql, apache2, and php5 to get along
[01:18] <nothlit> gaminggeek: have you checked your logs and seen if udev is failing horribly or something
[01:18] <frogzoo> nothlit: grub BabyBat means, I think: "Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[01:19] <frogzoo> BabyBat: this is what I do in menu.lst: splashimage (hd0,6)/boot/grub/splashimages/pcaribbean.xpm.gz
[01:19] <gaminggeek> nothlit, what log will have udev messages in it?
[01:19] <gaminggeek> nm I found it :P
[01:20] <arron> Can someone help me?
[01:20] <arron> when i try partition my usb pen it mounts half way through the operation making it fail
[01:21] <arron> can anyone help?
[01:21] <frogzoo> arron: that's a bit gross - log out & try it from the command line - ctrl alt f1
[01:21] <BabyBat> -nothlit- I followed the instructions in theme tar but it does not help eather.
[01:21] <sn0m> hi
[01:21] <nothlit> BabyBat: can you give me the link of that splash again
[01:21] <arron> well im trying to do it from gparted
[01:21] <Znortfl> How do I use my gamepad in linux?
[01:21] <gaminggeek> nothing bad from a quick skim
[01:21] <arron> i dunno how to do it from the command line
[01:21] <gaminggeek> Zajjko, depends on the gamepad
[01:22] <BabyBat> -nothlit- http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=50468
[01:22] <erUSUL> arron: do a sudo tail -f /var/log/messages during the operation in another terminal an see if the kernel reports any errors
[01:22] <arron> k
[01:22] <sn0m> hey fellas can someone tell me how to fix this-The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet".
[01:23] <Znortfl> Err, gaminggeek, did you mean me?
[01:23] <nothlit> gaminggeek: hey sorry BabyBat gaminggeek , i gotta go but gaminggeek it sounds like something scary with udev is going on or smth
[01:23] <gaminggeek> nothlit, ok bye
[01:23] <gaminggeek> Zajjko, it has to be supported
[01:24] <BabyBat> nothlit bb
[01:24] <Gunrun> guys, I have downloaded the ppu version of ubuntu 6.10, but I can burn it on my PC right?
[01:24] <Znortfl> Its a logitech "Dual Action", USB plug. Where can I see if it is supported?
[01:24] <sc0tt> Anyone know how to check ink levels on a Lexmark printer configured to be used via cups?
[01:26] <BabyBat> -frogzoo- So I need to exactly point to the splash image in menu list?
[01:27] <frogzoo> BabyBat: if grub can read the image, that will work
[01:27] <ghatak> got a small question, i have ubuntu set up as dual boot with windows, if i reinstall ubuntu, will i loose the GRUB configuration for Windows Dual boot?
[01:29] <erUSUL> ghatak: you should not but anyway adding windows to the grub menu is almost trivial
[01:29] <sc0tt> in theory ghatak you shouldn't
[01:29] <BabyBat> The problem is that splash images are in special format *.so
[01:30] <tom47> ghatak and if there is a probem there is plenty of online advice on how to sort it (grub) out
[01:30] <sc0tt> yep :)
[01:30] <znerk__> Is there possible to accses your zen at Ubuntu?
[01:31] <mewt> znerk__, yeah with gnomad2
[01:31] <ghatak> Right, currently my partitions are messed up, some NTFS and some Ext3, i wanted to convert all of em to Ext3 apart from the one which has windows, as i have data in NTFS parts, so i have to do a loads of bzip2 and then reformat em to ext3. i guess there is no way around that

[01:32] <jrib> !usplash | BabyBat
[01:32] <ubotu> BabyBat: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[01:32] <`underOATH> anyone know how to fix this? at the end of running "make" for installation of srvx it shows this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3941/
[01:32] <BabyBat> OK I will google for a while :)
[01:32] <jrib> hmm htat's not right...
[01:34] <`underOATH> anyone know how to fix my problem :/
[01:35] <jrib> `underOATH: find out what it is trying to 'exec'
[01:35] <otacon22__> anyone know where can i download gpsdrive maps?
[01:35] <distry> what is a good looking panel for ubuntu?
[01:35] <`underOATH> jrib: do you want me to just paste the whole thing that happens when i do "make" ?
[01:36] <jrib> `underOATH: sure
[01:36] <`underOATH> jrib: k one sec
[01:37] <Phopsy> Hi there, I've got a wireless internet problem in Edgy in that I can't obtain an IP address, is this my end or the router's end?
[01:38] <`underOATH> Phopsy: what are you using to port the drivers from windows to linux ?
[01:39] <Perryman> I think something's wrong with my hard drives
[01:39] <Phopsy> Underoath: I'm just using the native Linux drivers for my wireless card...or are you asking about the router drivers...
[01:39] <Perryman> every boot i get errors
[01:39] <Perryman> is there somewhere i can find boot error logs?
[01:40] <Nikolas> dmesg
[01:40] <`underOATH> Phopsy: i was talking about for your card. hmm i didn't know any wireless card companies actually made official linux drivers
[01:40] <`underOATH> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3942/
[01:40] <Perryman> !dmesg
[01:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:41] <jrib> `underOATH: that one doesn't have any errors
[01:41] <Phopsy> Underoath: Well, the card seems to be working, it detects a valid signal in Wifi Radar.
[01:41] <Perryman> i think my hard drive scsi parity errors have something to do with my add/remove / synaptic crashes
[01:41] <Perryman> last boot i went to install opera via add/remove and it crashed entirely
[01:41] <Perryman> now i installed flash player, and it's hung
[01:41] <`underOATH> jrib: i'll post the make and make install things now than because it's not working
[01:41] <eamo> Hi, jumpy (slow) DVD on Dapper- dma is on, device dev/hdd, any suggestions?

[01:42] <Perryman> erm yes, i believe i installed 32 bit. i've got amd 64 though
[01:43] <Windy> hi, could someone please tell me how to get make a shortcut to an app (ventrilo) running through WINE?
[01:43] <Perryman> gnomefreak: yes 32 bit
[01:43] <jrib> `underOATH: try make clean  and then make
[01:43] <jrib> `underOATH: wait never mind I see it
[01:43] <`underOATH> jrib: the permissions right?
[01:43] <`underOATH> jrib: should i run "sudo make install" ?
[01:44] <jrib> `underOATH: when you make install, you need to use sudo.  Even better, would be to use 'sudo checkinstall' instead
[01:44] <jrib> !checkinstall | `underOATH
[01:44] <ubotu> `underOATH: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[01:44] <`underOATH> jrib: i noticed the problem before you :)
[01:44] <jrib> heh :)
[01:44] <`underOATH> jrib: srvx-1.3.1 has been installed to /usr/local :):):):):):)
[01:44] <Nikolas> Windy, make a launcher that points to `wine ventrilo`
[01:45] <Windy> hmm launcher?
[01:45] <`Theus`> Hi all
[01:45] <Nikolas> gnome launcher
[01:45] <Windy> i've tried making it in alacarte with 'wine ventrilo' and run in terminal
[01:45] <Windy> but it doesn't work for some reason
[01:45] <`underOATH> Windy: from my past expierence i've found that ventrilo doesn't work with ubuntu
[01:45] <Windy> it does.
[01:45] <Windy> it works fine with WINE
[01:45] <`underOATH> Windy: i got it installed before but my sound wouldn't work and stuff
[01:45] <Windy> just i could never get a shortcut going
[01:45] <Windy> have you done the system.ini fix?
[01:45] <`Theus`> where is webmin in ubuntu server dapper version? in universe e multive is not present, thanks
[01:46] <Nikolas> Windy, try `wine /path/to/your/ventrilo.exe`
[01:46] <Windy> i had that problem with the latest install, but i think i might have fixed it
[01:46] <Windy> Nikolas: that was the first thing i tried
[01:46] <Windy> where's this gnome launcher thing?
[01:46] <`underOATH> Windy: i donno, thats why i just went out and bought a nice desktop and put vista on it now :)
[01:46] <Windy> i made a shortcut under alacarte with wine ~/ventrilo/ventrilo.exe
[01:46] <Nikolas> Press the desktop with your right mouse button
[01:46] <Windy> which is the command i type in terminal
[01:47] <Nikolas> It should have an "add a launcher" option
[01:47] <erUSUL> `Theus`: webmin is not in dapper iirc
[01:47] <erUSUL> !info webmin dapper
[01:47] <ubotu> Package webmin does not exist in dapper
[01:47] <erUSUL> !search webmin dapper
[01:47] <ubotu> Found: shipit,sources.list-#ubuntu-effects,newton,ntfs-3g,parties,dapper drake,k9copy,alternate,eft,koffice
[01:47] <`Theus`> why?
[01:47] <Windy> ah i see
[01:47] <Windy> but can i put it under the applications menu?
[01:47] <`underOATH> lol i know this sounds like a noob question but how do you rename a file using terminal so i can use sudo and get the right permissions?
[01:48] <erUSUL> `Theus`: dunno
[01:48] <jrib> !webmin
[01:48] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[01:48] <`Theus`> erUSUL: Tnx
[01:48] <AzMoo> `underOATH, mv original.file new.file
[01:48] <AzMoo> `underOATH, Renaming is just moving.
[01:48] <`underOATH> AzMoo: k thanks :)
[01:49] <tom47>  Windy yes use >System>Preferences>Menu Layout
[01:49] <Windy> tom47 already tried that
[01:49] <Windy> for some reason, when you attempt to do it via a shortcut, it has a fit
[01:49] <pbureau> is there another pastbin,the one for the channel keeps saying I am trying to spam and refuses to let me paste anything
[01:49] <AzMoo> Does anybody know a way to increase the volume of my sound. It's very quiet when I output to my tv, but mplayer, alsa-mixer and my tv all report maximum volume.
[01:49] <jrib> pbureau: it needs javascript enabled, you can use pastebin.ca for example
[01:50] <`Theus`> alternative to webmin?
[01:50] <Nikolas> pbureau, http://rafb.net/paste
[01:50] <`underOATH> how the hell do i get to /usr/local in terminal
[01:50] <jrib> AzMoo: the speaker in your notification area
[01:50] <shiv> ubuntu showing 2 ethernet connections ecen though I have only one. The one that is wireless is not showing up in network configuration. Plz help
[01:50] <AzMoo> jrib, that's full too. Seems to be the same thing as alsa-mixer.
[01:50] <Windy> it seems to run fine if you manually hop into terminal and type the command, but any attempt to shortcut it makes the whole thing break down
[01:50] <Nikolas> `underOATH, cd /usr/local
[01:50] <erUSUL> `underOATH: cd /usr/local/ ??
[01:50] <Windy> bit of an annoyance really
[01:51] <erUSUL> !cli > `underOATH
[01:51] <jrib> AzMoo: you raise PCM too in alsamixer?
[01:51] <pbureau> Nikolas, thanks
[01:51] <`underOATH> Nikolas & erUSUL: for some reason that didn't work a second ago but it worked now lol
[01:52] <Windy> oh and Nikolas, the create launcher thing doesn't work i'm sorry
[01:52] <Windy> whether i tell it to do it in terminal or just normally, i get no response
[01:52] <AzMoo> jrib, no. Hopefully that'll help.
[01:52] <`Theus`> what is a valid alternative for webmin?

[01:57] <`underOATH> Anyone know how to set up C:Lines for services in an ircd config?
[01:58] <Gecko> Hey there. I am running ubuntu on a server, but I have accidentally messed up my locales following a defective guide. I get the following messages: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory - locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory - locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory. Can anyone help me get my locales back?
[01:58] <Nabiki> Not a clue.  Last time I set up an IRCD, Services used U:lines.
[01:58] <sussch> wmcpu worked before i made a reset - Kubuntu crashed
[01:59] <erUSUL> Gecko: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales' and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf'

[02:03] <shiv> pbureau: I am looking for wireless and when I do the lsgrep it does shows me correct wireless card installed (netgear)
[02:03] <pbureau> fimp, haveto got the drivers flgx or something like that for it ?
[02:04] <fimp> pbureau, i can't get direct rendering to work no matter if I use ati-driver or fglxr-driver

[02:05] <pbureau> shiv lshw -class network  do you see the wifi card there ?
[02:05] <fimp> pbureau, do you know what I should try?
[02:05] <Phopsy> Right! So I've ascertained that my wireless card is working but I can't get an IP address from my BT Home Hub / Thomson Speedtouch 7G wireless router. Any clues?
[02:05] <pbureau> fimp, not really sorry
[02:06] <fimp> ok, np
[02:06] <seravitae> anyone wanna recommend a cd/dvd burning app?
[02:06] <pbureau> Phopsy,  iwconfig indicates what device is your wifi (i.e ath0, eth1, wlan0 ??)
[02:06] <seravitae> something maybe like nero.

[02:07] <Luis07> jrib, java 6 is on the reps as well

[02:08] <nothlit_> !info sun-java6-jre
[02:08] <ubotu> Package sun-java6-jre does not exist in any distro I know
[02:08] <Phopsy> pbureau: Thanks, one moment
[02:08] <jrib> Luis07: I see it is in backports, but backports aren't a standard repository to have.  just use backports if you need 6 then
[02:09] <Luis07> jrib, the package is sun-java6-bin, it's on multiverse
[02:09] <genildo_> aew
[02:09] <genildo_> alguem me ajuda aew

[02:10] <ubotu> Package sun-java6-bin does not exist in edgy
[02:11] <jrib> Luis07: once edgy is released (last october) nothing else goes into the repositories unless it's a major bugfix or security patch.  New software can only get into edgy through backports (or other outside repositories)
[02:11] <hjmills> is it feisty or fiesty?
[02:11] <jrib> hjmills: feisty
[02:11] <hjmills> jrib: thanks
[02:11] <Luis07> jrib, ohh I understand! excellent, thank you! cleared my mind
[02:12] <jrib> !timetable | Luis07
[02:12] <ubotu> Luis07: Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[02:14] <BabyBat> -nothlit- This was contained in the readme file provided with this theme, I realized that when I am upgrading boot process it could not find splash image
[02:14] <sith-lord> sup?
[02:15] <nothlit> BabyBat: did you update-alternatives -install it?
[02:16] <BabyBat> Yes I performed every single step in that man
[02:17] <BabyBat> BTW when I tried to use splash from kubuntu it changes image during shutdown but not at startup
[02:17] <sith-lord> out of interest
[02:18] <Gecko> erUSUL: hmm, for some reason it wants me to run en_DK instead of en_US. Where is the default locale values? I've tried setting it to en_US with dpkg-reconfigre localeconf with no luck...
[02:18] <nothlit> BabyBat: even after you update-initramfs -u ?
[02:19] <Gunrun> guys, should the final burnt copy of ubuntu only total like 500 meg?
[02:19] <nothlit> BabyBat: did any of the steps fail while you were going through the instructions?
[02:19] <shiv> pbureau: I see the card but it says disabled
[02:20] <BabyBat> -nothlit- The only error was Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:20] <BabyBat> Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
[02:20] <BabyBat> When I run  sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)
[02:21] <`underOATH> lol how do you close srvx ?
[02:22] <pbureau> shiv what driver= is indicated in lshw for that wifi card ?
[02:22] <BabyBat> -nothlit- looks like it just can`t find that image for some reason even thou it is located where it should be by default
[02:23] <nothlit> BabyBat: so you copied the fingerprint theme to /usr/lib/usplash properly?
[02:23] <nothlit> BabyBat: all depends on where you saved/extracted the theme
[02:24] <`underOATH> Ya know how to run something you do ./ how do you close something?
[02:24] <nothlit> `underOATH: ctrl+c
[02:24] <Gecko> Hmm, seems my $LANG is set to a non existing locale system wide. How do I change this?
[02:25] <frogzoo> BabyBat: that msg about the missing grub splash can be safely ignored for installing usplash
[02:25] <HellBound> hey ppl .. i am considering installing Ubuntu .. but I want to know if I will be able to get my 3G card running or not ... if some1 could msg me, that would be great :)
[02:25] <`underOATH> nothlit: ctrl+c copies lol
[02:25] <Gunrun> guys, is there an ubuntu install guide for mac machines?
[02:25] <nothlit> Gecko: you could edit /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root and relogin
[02:25] <zz1> Hey Gecko! Have you tried using the language selector?
[02:26] <nothlit> Gecko: doh sorry i was looking in the wrong partition
[02:26] <IdleOne> Gunrun: pop in the cd and hold the letter C down while machine is booting
[02:27] <Gecko> zz1: the dpkg-reconfigure localeconf?
[02:27] <Gunrun> will it asume I want to dual boot or will it assume I want to just format everything?
[02:27] <Gunrun> because I want to format everything
[02:27] <IdleOne> Gunrun: it will ask you
[02:27] <Gunrun> ah ok
[02:27] <nothlit> Gecko: you can edit /etc/environment
[02:27] <zz1> Gecko: No, I meant using the graphical language selector. It's accessible from Gnome/KDE menus.
[02:27] <Gecko> nothlit: that already has LANG="en_US.UTF" specified
[02:27] <Gecko> zz1: it's a server. No X
[02:28] <HellBound> anyone got any ideas on installing a 3G card in Ubuntu?
[02:28] <BabyBat> -nothlit- Yes it is located at usr/lib/usplash with others
[02:28] <Gecko> nothlit: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" actually
[02:28] <rly> hey
[02:28] <`underOATH> rly: hello
[02:28] <rly> how do I mount a drive?
[02:29] <YumeNoEien> hi everyone
[02:29] <rly> I've been reading on wiki
[02:29] <nothlit> Gecko: that definitely should not be a non-existing locale
[02:29] <`underOATH> rly: do you mean like a virtual drive to mount an iso?
[02:29] <rly> about mounting drives
[02:29] <rly> but the commands doesn't work
[02:29] <Gunrun> uh... question? How much ram will my mac need to boot from the live disk?
[02:29] <YumeNoEien> rly: man mount
[02:29] <`underOATH> rly: do you mean like a virtual drive to mount an iso?
[02:29] <pbureau> try sudo mount
[02:29] <`underOATH> k you guys know more than me :P
[02:29] <IdleOne> Gunrun: I think 32 is minimum
[02:29] <rly> underoath, no... to access my NTFS drives
[02:29] <Gunrun> ok
[02:30] <YumeNoEien> no i dont, i just man everything :)
[02:30] <Gunrun> so my 320 will be fine then :D
[02:30] <nothlit> Gunrun: to run a whole gnome environment? i'd think at least 256
[02:30] <pbureau> Gunrun,  well I can run it on a p3 w 256mb of ram I think you should be fine if you cover that much
[02:30] <IdleOne> Gunrun: yeah that should be ok
[02:30] <nothlit> !ntfs > rly
[02:30] <Gunrun> no, I mean the live disk
[02:30] <`underOATH> lol i don't know anything, i can't even figure out how to close my stupid srvx irc services lol
[02:30] <nothlit> !ntfs-3g > rly
[02:30] <Gunrun> not the other thing
[02:30] <pbureau> Gunrun, livd cd runs gnome :)
[02:30] <Gunrun> at the moment I have this orange bar bouncing around on screen
[02:31] <Gunrun> and the ubuntu logo above it
[02:31] <nothlit> thats the usplash loader
[02:31] <Gunrun> ok
[02:31] <`underOATH> Gunrun: that sounds like fun!!
[02:31] <zz1> Gecko: try editing the files in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ and then run dpkg-reconfigure locales or locale-gen
[02:31] <pbureau> Gunrun, give it a minute while it explores your hardware eventually it  will get to desktop
[02:31] <Gunrun> righto
[02:31] <nothlit> pbureau: hopefully :P
[02:31] <`underOATH> so what are some differences before umm breezy and edgy
[02:31] <Gunrun> I really hope I don't fuck this up, as I have no OS9 disks to go back to
[02:31] <`underOATH> im still using breezy
[02:32] <Ilovemypuppy> I need some help with my SMF forum software - its driving me nuts - how can I set this to people return to the thread they just posted in?
[02:32] <pbureau> nothlit, never had a problem with a properly burned live cd disk :) (operative words, properly burned cd)
[02:32] <nothlit> `underOATH: well breezy is outdated
[02:32] <ompaul> !ohmy | Gunrun
[02:32] <ubotu> Gunrun: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:32] <PriceChild> `underOATH, breezy is no longer supported with security updates etc.
[02:32] <Gunrun> oh sorry
[02:32] <nothlit> `underOATH: and edgy is semi edgy, if you don't need it you can run dapper
[02:32] <Gunrun> >.<
[02:32] <Gunrun> o.O now I have a beige screen, with a cursor
[02:32] <`underOATH> so basically edgy is just madd secure compared to breezy?
[02:32] <nothlit> pbureau: some people have burned like 3-4 and md5 summed everything and had issues
[02:33] <zz1> Gecko: are you there?
[02:33] <pbureau> Gunrun, spare us the play by play this channel is bsy enough as is
[02:33] <nothlit> `underOATH: no, just up to date
[02:33] <pbureau> s/bsy/busy
[02:33] <Gunrun> sorry
[02:33] <Gecko> zz1: just tried that
[02:33] <Nabiki> Are there liveCD's for mac?
[02:33] <pbureau> nothlit, true I see it all the time.... but then again I use my xp box and nero to burn cd's  :)
[02:33] <Gecko> zz1: the problem is that /etc/environment is not being read, or the LANG variable is getting changed afterwards again...
[02:33] <`underOATH> Nabiki: i'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what os you have now
[02:34] <`underOATH> Nabiki: if you run the cd at boot it should work
[02:34] <Gecko> zz1: as soon as I source /etc/environment the locale is fine, but it isn't right after a log in
[02:34] <IdleOne> Nabiki: yes there is a live cd for mac
[02:34] <Nabiki> I am just saying that if there is a liveCD, and you use it to boot to a working Ubuntu Desktop, then it should install from the install icon and work ok.
[02:34] <Nabiki> Only issues theoretically should be WiFi if you use it. hehe
[02:34] <`underOATH> i should just /quit now. i have no idea what i'm talking about
[02:34] <`underOATH> why do i even try to help lol
[02:35] <zz1> Gecko: Did you try using grep? Try the following: find /etc/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i "your default locale"
[02:35] <Gunrun> Guys, I have 7 "the pannel encountered a problem while loading..." errors
[02:35] <`underOATH> is there a task manager like windows
[02:35] <nothlit> `underOATH: gnome-system-monitor
[02:35] <jrib> `underOATH: system > preferences > system monitor
[02:35] <zz1> Gecko: by default locale I mean the one which gets set before loading /etc/environment
[02:35] <IdleOne> `underOATH: if you /quit then you wont learn...btw upgrade to dapper breezy is old and out dated
[02:35] <jrib> `underOATH: oops, it's in administration, not preferences
[02:35] <`underOATH> IdleOne: i'm upgrading to edgy at the momment
[02:36] <YumeNoEien> yay
[02:36] <Gecko> zz1: got it!
[02:36] <YumeNoEien> im running edgy too
[02:36] <Gecko> zz1: /etc/default/locale
[02:36] <YumeNoEien> :)
[02:36] <Nabiki> `underOATH:  ps x or ps -a in the terminal window
[02:36] <zz1> :)
[02:36] <Gecko> wtf.
[02:36] <Gunrun> Guys, I have 7 "the panel encountered a problem while loading..." errors. This isn't normal is it?
[02:36] <AzMoo> Nabiki, I had issues with a screwed hard-drive. Half the time the LiveCD wouldn't load X, and when it did, if I clicked on install it would just crash out.
[02:36] <nothlit> jrib: if its in administration, does it require gksudo?
[02:36] <jrib> nothlit: no
[02:36] <nothlit> Gunrun: no, reboot and try the disk checking part of the menu
[02:36] <Gunrun> ok
[02:36] <Nabiki> AzMoo:  A screwed hard drive is a screwed hard drive.  Not a lot that the software can do about that.
[02:37] <zz1> Gecko: How did you find it? Just by chance? Or did you run the command I quoted above?
[02:37] <`underOATH> actually system monitor is in "Applications -> System Tools -> System Monitor" :)
[02:37] <nothlit> AzMoo: a messed up hard drive shouldn't affect a livecd's ability to load a program
[02:37] <Gecko> zz1: I ran the command
[02:37] <stoned> I have installed ttf-dejavu.  I have regen the font cache, and restarted X. I cannot see the condensed versions of dejavu serif anywhere in X.  It doesn't show up in kde/gtk apps.  dpkg -L ttf-dejavu shows that the .ttf files for the condensed versios were are there.  Can anyone help me figure out whats going on?
[02:37] <zz1> Gecko: I am glad that I was able to help you!
[02:37] <AzMoo> nothlit, I wouldn't have thought so either, but I switched it over and it all worked perfectly from then on.
[02:37] <Nabiki> nothlit: It will if that program is the install.  Other than that, lots and lots of ram.
[02:38] <nothlit> Nabiki: the livecd loads the programs from its image
[02:38] <cmt^^> Can anyone tell me how to configure my system so that tv-out works properly.. the problem is that video is offset and the resolution seems off too.. anyone please help me?
[02:38] <nothlit> !tvout | cmt^^

[02:39] <`underOATH> can you host a webserver with ubuntu

[02:39] <nothlit> !lamp | `underOATH
[02:39] <ubotu> `underOATH: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[02:39] <Nabiki> nothlit:  Yes, I know this...  But if you tell it to install, it installs to the hard drive... Unless you have some freaky setup.
[02:39] <nothlit> Nabiki: yeah but he's having problems even loading X from the livecd
[02:39] <Gecko> zz1: yeah, thanks :)
[02:39] <Spee_Der> Good morning everyone.
[02:39] <`underOATH> nothlit: would i be able to host a vbulletin forum with that LAMP ??
[02:40] <nothlit> `underOATH: yes you should be able to
[02:40] <AzMoo> nothlit, not anymore. Changed the hard-drive over and like I said, everything has been fine since. It didn't make any sense to me at all.
[02:40] <`underOATH> coooooool :)
[02:40] <Nabiki> Could be a problem with the CD rom drive also.  Maybe the jacked up hard drive was causeing IRQ conflicts or something.
[02:40] <Spee_Der> cmt^^: what is your video card ?
[02:41] <cmt^^> ati radeon x700
[02:41] <haraldhv> crikey, managed to rm -rf my /usr/share/fonts. any quick tips on how to fix?
[02:41] <Spee_Der> cmt^^: not familir with that one, sorry.
[02:41] <Nabiki> I have to get going.  It's almost 2300, and I gotta go walk my girlfriend home from the train station.
[02:41] <Spee_Der> gn Nabiki
[02:42] <nothlit> haraldhv: reinstall all font packages
[02:42] <nothlit> haraldhv: and don't play around as root :P
[02:42] <Nabiki> haraldhv: o.o  And be careful what you zap.  Ray guns are dangerouse you know.
[02:42] <rysiek|pl> guys, I have got two disks - sda and sdb. sda is the master, sdb is the slave; sda is the windoze disk, sdb is the linux one; I need - obviously - to installo grub in sda's MBR, but have it use sdb's /boot/grub/menu.lst file. no idea how to do it, though
[02:42] <nothlit> !grub | rysiek|pl
[02:42] <ubotu> rysiek|pl: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:43] <nothlit> rysiek|pl: anyways the livecd should automagically handle that for you
[02:43] <rysiek|pl> nothlit: well, it didn't :)
[02:43] <haraldhv> hee hee. was cleaning up my 32bit chroot, but forgot to unmount the /usr/share/fonts bind. quick little painful mistake.
[02:43] <haraldhv> nothlit: any way to force reinstall without having to delete packages first?
[02:45] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Have you tried installing grub on sda?
[02:45] <nothlit> haraldhv: it won't let you aptitude reinstall your packages?
[02:45] <rysiek|pl> zz1: well, yeah, that is *exactly* what I am trying to do
[02:45] <nothlit> rysiek|pl: did you try the grubhowto on the wiki?
[02:45] <rysiek|pl> zz1: but the problem is: it *has to* use the config from sdb/boot/grub/menu.lst :)
[02:45] <rysiek|pl> nothlit: going through it right now

[02:46] <jumbers> What's a good torrent program? (Other than Azureus)
[02:46] <`underOATH> i like azureus :)
[02:46] <ubuntu> jumbers why
[02:46] <mewt> anyone know if quake 3 is now free to play ?
[02:46] <nothlit> jumbers: people like ktorrent
[02:46] <ubuntu> don't you like azureus
[02:46] <gubbs> jumbers g3 torrent ktorrent etc
[02:46] <jumbers> ubuntu: Azureus is crashing on me
[02:46] <nothlit> jumbers: otherwise the crowd favorite is deluge and rtorrent (console)
[02:47] <haraldhv> nothlit: yes it does. but it doesn't take wildcards though :(
[02:47] <ubuntu> jumbers open terminal then try from there azureus
[02:47] <`underOATH> lol ubuntu: for a second i thought your nick was ubotu and i was like oh my god the bot is talking
[02:47] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Enter the grub, and I will try to walk you through...
[02:47] <jumbers> ubuntu: Already have. Something about Java VM Hotspot
[02:47] <jumbers> Lemme pastebin it
[02:47] <rysiek|pl> zz1: ok, but remember I am using the livecd roght now
[02:47] <rysiek|pl> *right
[02:47] <zz1> rysiek|pl: On a command line just type grub and press enter.
[02:47] <rosen37> Hello
[02:48] <rysiek|pl> zz1: yeah, I know that one ;)
[02:48] <zz1> Okay
[02:48] <rysiek|pl> zz1: or even: sudo grub
[02:48] <zz1> That's right. Yes.
[02:48] <ubuntu> no man 'underOATH no man
[02:48] <ubuntu> jumber man install java 1.5 bin
[02:48] <rysiek|pl> zz1: okay, I am there
[02:48] <nothlit> haraldhv: aptitude takes search patterns, and regex for certain operations
[02:49] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Now type root (hd1,?) where the ? should be replaced with your boot partition's number minus one
[02:49] <nothlit> haraldhv: have you tried aptitude reinstall ~ittf
[02:49] <nothlit> haraldhv: i don't know the names of the xorg font packages though
[02:49] <rysiek|pl> zz1: got it
[02:50] <zz1> Okay. Now run the following command in grub's command line prompt:
[02:50] <jumbers> http://jnumbers.pastebin.com/874335
[02:50] <haraldhv> nothlit: i'll give it a shot.
[02:50] <rysiek|pl> zz1: *so* hope you check if that's the proper partition I use right now ;)
[02:51] <zz1> setup --stage2=(hd1,?)/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0)
[02:51] <Roconda> hey, I upgraded to feisty, but undevd is sucking my cpu, could it be solved ? or is it just a bug ?
[02:51] <zz1> You might have to find the stage2 file in your root partition. Just type locate stage2
[02:51] <rysiek|pl> ok
[02:52] <KKK111> hello guys
[02:52] <KKK111> i have a problem, and it's really bad
[02:52] <KKK111> i installed ubuntu from the cd, it says: reboot; and now when i start my pc i get a GRUB error
[02:53] <rysiek|pl> zz1: that's all?
[02:53] <Roconda> hey, I upgraded to feisty, but udevd is sucking my cpu, could it be solved ? or is it just a bug ?*
[02:53] <zz1> Yes I think so. If the command executed without any error messages, that's it!
[02:53] <jumbers> ubuntu: Azureus had been working for a while
[02:53] <gavinc> KKK111: uhm without actually knowing the error nobody can help you ;)
[02:53] <jumbers> ubuntu: Then it suddenly stopped working
[02:53] <ubuntu> jumber how ram do you have

[02:54] <ubuntu> jumbers do you know that there is new version of azureus
[02:54] <Roconda> thx nothlit :)
[02:54] <ubuntu> jumbers maybe there the problem will dissaper
[02:55] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Any news?
[02:55] <ardchoille42> Is gnucash still GTK1 or has it been re-written to use the GTK2 libs?
[02:55] <jumbers> ubuntu: I really think it's a Java VM problem
[02:55] <rysiek|pl> zz1: yeah. file not found
[02:56] <rysiek|pl> zz1: seems like something must have gotten b0rked with the installation
[02:56] <`underOATH> k install edgy brb
[02:56] <`underOATH> :)
[02:56] <pbureau> I am compiling (if this is the wrong channel please indicate which one to ask into, I can find one about programming questions.)

[02:56] <ubuntu> jumbers ok then the another proglram like azureus is ktorrent
[02:56] <rysiek|pl> zz1: I'll just reinstall the whole system I think
[02:56] <zz1> rysiek|pl: The file might be in (hd1,?)/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2
[02:57] <rysiek|pl> zz1: in grub cli: find /boot/grub/menu.lst -> file not found
[02:57] <Gunrun_____> gah I give up, the disk checks out fine, I have tried nearly every method of livedisking, it just refuses to work
[02:57] <rysiek|pl> zz1: same thing for stage2
[02:57] <rysiek|pl> zz1: ergo: those files are nowhere on the hd's
[02:57] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Try the folowing find / -type f -iname "*stage2*"
[02:58] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Hopefully your drive is mounted.
[02:58] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: you've installed grub to the wrong root partition
[02:58] <rysiek|pl> zz1: that will find me the file on the ubuntu's ramdisk
[02:58] <ikonia> zzl the driver doesn't have to be mounted
[02:58] <zz1> ikonia: You're right. Sorry
[02:59] <nick_> can anyone help me with an ERRDOS error when mounting smb shares
[02:59] <ikonia> no need for apologies
[02:59] <ikonia> nick_: share the problem
[02:59] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Try mounting your root partition and copying stage2 file to /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2

[03:00] <nick_> SMB connection failed
[03:00] <ikonia> nick_: your server doesn't have enough ram
[03:00] <rysiek|pl> zz1: as I said, I will just reinstall the whole damn thing
[03:00] <nick_> i don't think thats it
[03:00] <rysiek|pl> zz1: it was a fresh install anyway, so nothing lost
[03:00] <zz1> rysiek|pl: Okay, your choice...
[03:00] <nick_> its my XP box and it has 2 gb of ram
[03:01] <rysiek|pl> zz1: thanks a lot for your help, if I happen to run into a similar problem, I will now
[03:01] <rysiek|pl> ...how to solve it
[03:01] <ikonia> nick_: well thats what the error is telling you
[03:01] <rysiek|pl> zz1: really, seems like the installation just ddin't finish
[03:01] <rem_> nick -> "free -m" to see how much ram you have ... and "top" to see whats running and how much cpu it takes up ..
[03:01] <nick_> i understand that but its not its not caused by that
[03:01] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: do you have multiple hardsisk ?
[03:02] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: do you have /boot on a seperate partition
[03:02] <nick_> i only have 6 free ram
[03:02] <ikonia> nick_: there you go
[03:02] <rem_> df -h to see if you still have space on disk ..
[03:02] <nick_> how do i free it up
[03:03] <ikonia> nick_:  I don't know - its YOUR box
[03:03] <imc_> Hi. Trying to get squid going. It's not bound to any given port right? Like, the default is 3128 but I could set that to 3209 and just set the proxy to http://site:3209 right?
[03:03] <rem_> ps -eaf to see running processes..see if you can kill any that you dont use ...
[03:03] <nick_> i don't have anything running except xchat
[03:03] <rysiek|pl> ikonia: yes and yes, windoze;'s disk is the master, linux's disk is the slave
[03:03] <andycap_> hi, I was wondering if there was a way to access files on the C:/ drive on linux?
[03:03] <rem_> or with top if there are any using up a lot f cpu ...and ure not using ..
[03:03] <ikonia> rysiek|pl: and you have /boot on a seperate partition
[03:03] <rem_> wanting to use ..
[03:04] <ikonia> andycap_: just mount your ntfs disk
[03:04] <mnoir> !ntfs| andycap_
[03:04] <ubotu> andycap_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:04] <variant> andycap_: yes, the c:\ drive being the first partition on your disk probably
[03:04] <rem_> paste ure error in google and see what others did ..
[03:04] <andycap_> can I do this using LiveCD?
[03:04] <variant> andycap_: in ubuntu that  becomes /dev/hda1 (if its an ata disk)
[03:04] <variant> andycap_: yes
[03:04] <andycap_> !ntfs-3g
[03:04] <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)
[03:05] <andycap_> thanks!
[03:05] <ikonia> I wouldn't recommend ntfs-3g
[03:05] <variant> andycap_: go with fuse..
[03:05] <mnoir> andycap_: just not set up permanently
[03:05] <andycap_> !fuse
[03:05] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[03:05] <variant> andycap_: and the "very unsafe" is an exageration
[03:05] <ikonia> variant: he doesn't know how to mount an ntfs partition do you think its wise he starts messing with fuse at this stage
[03:05] <sipher> anybody have any ideas why I'm getting a erro 98 address already in use by bittorent?
[03:05] <andycap_> sweet, thanks guys I'll try it out
[03:05] <variant> ikonia: lol, if he needs to do it then there is not much choise
[03:06] <sipher> I can't see anything that would be interfering with the client...
[03:06] <ikonia> variant: he should just mount it ro using the ntfs kernel driver
[03:06] <bulmer> nick_: try this  ipcs and see how many you maybe be able to ipcrm
[03:06] <ctothej> Can someone explain to me about media (video/sound) browser plugins on linux. What are the different kinds? For instance, I know that xine can be a plugin and also gstreamer and I frequently see firefox load in totem using gstreamer for videos...
[03:06] <nick_> sipher switch to azureus its much better
[03:06] <imc_> anyone on my squid question?
[03:06] <variant> andycap_: if you only need to copy the files but don't need to create or delete files on the windows partition then you dont need fuse or ntfs-3g
[03:06] <ikonia> imc_: I didn't see it
[03:06] <sipher> nick_ I don't need azerus
[03:06] <sipher> it's much to big...
[03:06] <imc_> Hi. Trying to get squid going. It's not bound to any given port right? Like, the default is 3128 but I could set that to 3209 and just set the proxy to http://site:3209 right?
[03:06] <ikonia> imc_: thats corrct
[03:07] <ikonia> correct
[03:07] <imc_> ikonia thanks
[03:08] <andycap_> wait, yes I only need to copy them
[03:08] <nick_> sipher well it will solve your bit torrent problems
[03:08] <andycap_> I want to copy them on an external harddrive, then reformat windows

[03:09] <variant> andycap_: yeah, you don't need ntfs-rg or fuse for that
[03:09] <variant> andycap_: the live cd supports read access as it is
[03:10] <variant> andycap_: just boot the cd and mount the partition. is it the first partition on the first hard disk?

[03:10] <sebastw> ubuntu supports texas intrument sd reader card ?
[03:10] <Dyegov> can someone help me?
[03:10] <Dyegov> Hi. I need help with mi Firefox 2.0.0.1. Here is what happened http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2099043
[03:10] <sebastw> i can't read sd cards...
[03:10] <variant> andycap_: then when the live cd is booted you can mount it with "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" then windows drive c:\ will be available in /mnt/ directory
[03:11] <hesperus_> i want a livecd that will boot entirely from memory, let me eject the cd-rom and use the cd-rom drive for other purposes (i.e. write a cd). any suggestions? :)
[03:11] <kbrosnan> Dyegov: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customizations_reset_on_startup
[03:11] <variant> hesperus_: the ubuntu cd supports that if you have enough ram
[03:11] <andycap_> awesome, k I do that after I finish up on reading some forums :)
[03:11] <zz1> andycap_: Try running "cat /proc/partitions" or "fdisk -l" in a command line to see your partitions.
[03:11] <variant> hesperus_: i don't remember the exact command at boot as most live cd's are different but its something like "toram"
[03:12] <variant> zz1: don't confuse him please, he knows where his partition is
[03:12] <hesperus_> variant: does it have k3b or any other cd-recording app ?
[03:12] <hesperus_> i have 512mb ram
[03:12] <variant> hesperus_: dunno, 512 won't be enough for ubuntu cd unfortunatly
[03:12] <variant> hesperus_: try www.slax.org
[03:12] <andycap_> how do I access the partions after "cat/proc/partions?
[03:12] <hesperus_> :/
[03:13] <FluxAR> Hello folks! I have a problem, and I need help. The last system update automatically made destroyed my Xorg... :(
[03:13] <variant> hesperus_: very fast and small live cd and you can install k3b from the modules section on the slax website _from_ the live cd
[03:13] <IdleOne> FluxAR: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:13] <variant> andycap_: ignore that command, you don't need to do it
[03:13] <hesperus_> variant: thx, i'll try it
[03:13] <KKK111> hi, i have error 21with grub when i start my pc, what can i do about it ???
[03:13] <zz1> andycap_: cat /proc/partitions will show you the partitions on your system. To be able to access one, you might try "sudo mount <partitionname> /mnt"
[03:13] <FluxAR> IdleOne: Thanks! I'll try and I'll be back here.
[03:13] <zz1> andycap_: To unmount the partition try "sudo umount /mnt"
[03:14] <variant> andycap_: what was explained to you earlyer is enough for you to do what you were looking for. zz1 is probably just adding confusion

[03:16] <sebastw> then
[03:16] <sebastw> i return on windows :/
[03:16] <variant> sebastw: right click the panel and add "disk mounter" with the "add applet option" then when you plug in the sd card you should see it on the panel
[03:16] <ompaul> neo_, I'll remove the ban in a min or two when the buffer should be empty
[03:17] <resuDaed> hi, I have just installed ubuntu (net install) on an ibm thinkpad 600x with a xircom ethernet pcmcia card, install went fine, but on restart, cannot get nic to work properly, cannot acquire address via dhcp, even manual config doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[03:17] <shiv> pbureau: u there sorry got disconnected
[03:17] <Data_> sebasw yes it does after a few adjustements
[03:18] <neo_>  I get a lot of Xlib: Extension "GLX" missing on display":0.0"
[03:18] <ompaul> we saw that
[03:18] <neo_> Whenever I do the glxinfo | grep direct
[03:18] <neo_> direc, rather
[03:18] <ompaul> !nvidia
[03:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:18] <neo_> What do can I do about it?
[03:18] <nothlit_> neo_: nvidia-xconfig
[03:18] <ompaul> neo_, ^^ that is the correct way to do a binary driver
[03:18] <zz1> resuDaed: Does ifconfig -a print anything other than lo?
[03:19] <neo_> I didn't try to do teh binary drivers
[03:19] <neo_> Should I/
[03:19] <neo_> I mean, I dont' fulfill the prerequisistes for it
[03:19] <neo_> It says the command "lspci | grep -i nvidia" whould be one line
[03:19] <werzu-de> Kostenloser MP3-Player, MP4-Player, PSP, Laptop, ...  www.werzu.de
[03:19] <neo_> And that isn't what comes up
[03:19] <solotim> hi, all. anyone is using Jabbin?
[03:19] <bulmer> resuDaed: find out which driver you need for your pmcia card
[03:19] <sebastw> variant, disk mounter ? too easy my card reader is not known by ubuntu
[03:19] <variant> neo_: if you have an nvidia card and you want 3d acceleration then you need the nvidia drivers
[03:19] <AzMoo> neo_, what video card do you have?
[03:19] <ompaul> neo_, you read the page, it tells in great detail what to do
[03:20] <Data_> sebastw i have the solution
[03:20] <variant> neo_: do sudo -i && update-pciids && lspci | grep VGA
[03:20] <neo_> Okay....and I have a GeForce 6800
[03:20] <variant> sebastw: see Data_
[03:20] <sebastw> Data_, yes?
[03:20] <solotim> exit
[03:20] <Data_> made lspci
[03:21] <AzMoo> neo_, yeah. Nvidia binaries are certainly for you.
[03:21] <sebastw> Data_, and?
[03:21] <Data_> find the line about you TI card reader
[03:21] <zz1> Bye everyone!
[03:21] <neo_> Even if I have already isntalled non-binary?
[03:21] <neo_> Will my former attempts at isntallation screw it up?
[03:21] <sebastw> Data_, there tree lines with texas instrument
[03:22] <Data_> in my case it was : 0a:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments Unknown device 8039
[03:22] <Data_> enter the command bellow: setpci -s 0a:04.2 4c.b=02
[03:22] <sebastw> Data_, there are no " Texas Instruments Unknown device"
[03:23] <Data_> correspondig to yor hardware
[03:23] <Data_> pastebin stp
[03:23] <neo_> See, I'm following the instructions on that page i was linked to, and it says the prerequisites are that  the command Ispci | grep -i nvidia prints out a line of text.....and it prints out a lot of lines of text for me
[03:23] <resuDaed> bulmer : the card is present, and using the same module I always have used for it (xirc2ps_cs)
[03:23] <neo_> Is this a problem? Or should I continue in the isntalation?
[03:24] <Data_> sebastw pastebin the output please
[03:24] <sebastw> Data_, ok thanks
[03:24] <resuDaed> ifconfig eth0 shows the interface, and even tells me it's up.  I can even manually assign an ip address, but it still won't talk to anything on the network
[03:24] <ndee> hello there, I have a ATI FireGL video card in my notebook, how much fps should I get in glxgears?
[03:24] <ndee> it's a thinkpad t42p
[03:25] <sebastw> Data_, http://pastebin.com/874354
[03:25] <bulmer> resuDaed: oh okay...now try iwlist wlan0 scan  and see if it picks up signals
[03:25] <Data_> je regardes
[03:26] <Rimm3r> hello
[03:26] <resuDaed> bulmer : talking about a wiored ethernet card
[03:26] <ompaul> neo_, paste that text into a pastebin
[03:26] <ompaul> !paste
[03:26] <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)
[03:26] <pbureau> resuDaed, in ifconfig do you get an eth0 with an IP address ?
[03:26] <neo_> pastebin?
[03:26] <resuDaed> pbureau : only if I manuall set one
[03:26] <Data_> sebtw just a minute
[03:26] <resuDaed> it is transmitting, just no receiving
[03:27] <sebastw> Data_, ok
[03:27] <neo_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3971/
[03:27] <pbureau> resuDaed, cat /etc/network/interfaces in there do you have these lines in it ? auto lo
[03:27] <pbureau> iface lo inet loopback
[03:27] <pbureau> auto eth0
[03:27] <pbureau> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[03:28] <neo_> There
[03:29] <resuDaed> pbureau : yes, but that isn't the issue, the dhcp server is responding trying to give the card an address, but the card is not receiving (hate to say it, but it is working in windows, so there isn't a h/w fault)
[03:29] <ssmith> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with font sizes in XFCE
[03:29] <pbureau> resuDaed, lshw -class network , does it indicate driver=<nameofdriverhere>
[03:29] <ompaul> neo_, the presense of those extra lines do not impact your ability to install drivers
[03:29] <tom47> !ssmith perhaps try #xubuntu
[03:29] <ompaul> now I really am gone
[03:30] <ZMS> when I got to install java-package it asks me for the ubuntu edgy cd but when I put it in it doesn't see it because my dvd drive is called dvdrecorder and not cdrom... anyone know how to resolve this?
[03:30] <ssmith> ah, thanks
[03:30] <neo_> Okay, thanks ompaul

[03:30] <jrib> ZMS: does your drive work otherwise?
[03:31] <sebastw> Data_ !!! :/
[03:31] <resuDaed> pbureau : yes
[03:31] <ZMS> jrid, yes works fine, I can see the ubuntu disk mounted on my desktop
[03:31] <ZMS> jrib, yes works fine, I can see the ubuntu disk mounted on my desktop
[03:31] <IdleOne> ZMS: you need to enable universe and multiverse follow that link ubotu just gave you and after that is done you can sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre from terminal
[03:31] <sebastw> My problem must be a hot problem
[03:31] <sebastw> :/
[03:31] <sebastw> Data_ is dead
[03:31] <jrib> ZMS: file a bug I guess.  But just remove the cdrom repository from your /etc/apt/sources.list, you don't need it; just use the online repositories
[03:32] <ZMS> ok thanks guys
[03:32] <ZMS> will do that then
[03:32] <sebastw> A good technical person can help me?
[03:32] <ZMS> I don't think I'd be able to install Java 6 with the fakeroot anyway would I not compatible?
[03:32] <IdleOne> ask
[03:32] <pbureau> resuDaed, and ifconfig shows the card as eth0?
[03:33] <jrib> ZMS: java6 is in edgy-backports
[03:33] <ZMS> oh ok good stuff
[03:33] <sebastw> My texas instrument sd reader don't work
[03:33] <logan14> hey do you think that cause the launch of vista that xp will get a virus as a sacam
[03:33] <logan14> ?
[03:33] <logan14> *scam
[03:34] <Subhuman> logan14, no?
[03:34] <sebastw> i load tifm_* modules but there are the problem again
[03:34] <logan14> from microsoft
[03:34] <jrib> !offtopic | logan14
[03:34] <ubotu> logan14: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:34] <Subhuman> why would anyone upgrade their OS because of a virus?
[03:34] <logan14> yah but i bet anyone there will be a virus
[03:34] <adaptr> I could understand if the virus was called "windows XP"
[03:35] <logan14> haha
[03:35] <sebastw> Data_, how do you do?
[03:35] <sebastw> adaptr, or new virus "windows vista"
[03:35] <logan14> tell me im new can you download msn on ubuntu?
[03:35] <Data_> well sory sebtw my notebook switch off
[03:35] <adaptr> sebastw: that would be a reason to downgrade, then
[03:36] <ctothej> logan14: you mean the messenger?
[03:36] <logan14> yah
[03:36] <ctothej> use gaim
[03:36] <pbureau> logan14, try aMSN
[03:36] <sebastw> adaptr, vista ? a reason to upgrade.... to linux!!!
[03:36] <logan14> ?
[03:36] <IdleOne> logan14: you can try Amsn sudo aptitude install amsn
[03:36] <neo_> While following the instructions I was linked to for isntalling the binary drivers for my nvidia card, I got the the part where I'm supposed to type in: sudo nvidia-xconfig; which I did, but I only got three lines of text after that...is that right?
[03:36] <logan14> where?
[03:36] <sebastw> Data_, do you find anything ?
[03:36] <ctothej> logan14: Applications->Internet->Gaim Internet Messenger
[03:37] <Data_> sebtw what happend when you insert a card
[03:37] <IdleOne> logan14: type that in terminal
[03:37] <ctothej> logan14: it does AOL, IRC, MSN, and moer...
[03:37] <andycap_> how should I set up my partitions, yesterday I went to do it, and it gave me the options to do it by itself. now it just says erase entire disc, or manually set them up
[03:37] <ctothej> logan14: No, use the menus.
[03:37] <sebastw> Data_, a SD card ? nothing...
[03:37] <andycap_> yesterday I screwed it up by cancelling out of it because I noticed that Linux was getting about 20 more GBs then I wanted it to, which was a HUGE mistake
[03:38] <IdleOne> logan14: to use gaim go to Applications menu and it is under Internet for Amsn you need to install it from either Synaptic or Terminal with sudo aptitude install amsn
[03:38] <pianoboy3333> Trevi: do you run the beryl svn repository?
[03:38] <Data_> sebtw do this: Since Kernel 2.6.17, the driver for internal Texas Instruments card readers has been implemented. The reader still will not work without the user typing "sudo setpci -s <busid> 4c.b=0x02" each time they turn their computer on. This is inconvenient and should be automated at startup.
[03:38] <ZMS> do I just sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre to install Java6 or is it best to install version 5?
[03:39] <Data_> sebtw than it will work
[03:39] <neo_> Bah, I was following the instructions for the stinking installation of the drivers....and it said that after i did it all I should get a nvidia screen after I restarted the x server.....I didnt' get this.
[03:39] <IdleOne> ZMS: I use java5 and it works just fine
[03:39] <neo_> Does this mean it's not isntalled?
[03:39] <logan14> and can you install bitlord on ubuntu?
[03:39] <ndee> when I start xgl on display :1, it isn't available on display:0, correct?
[03:40] <IdleOne> logan14: there is many many torrent clients available on ubuntu. not sure if bitlord is one of them
[03:40] <sebastw> Data_, are you a french ,
[03:40] <Data_> belgian yes
[03:40] <logan14> well what are someother good ones?
[03:40] <ctothej> logan14: I use Azureus. Not sure about bitlord.
[03:40] <annet_19> uola
[03:40] <cchance> How do i resize my resolution? I need some command that will reconfigure X but duno it
[03:40] <pbureau> Data_, :)
[03:41] <neo_> Can anyone help with my problem?
[03:41] <IdleOne> logan14:  search for " torrent " in synaptic it should list them all for you
[03:41] <sebastw> Data_, d'accord alors le setpci je connaissais mais il faut le faire sur un "unknown" or je n'ai pas un tel priphrique avec lspci...

[03:44] <IdleOne> logan14: in System>Administration>Synaptic package manager
[03:44] <logan14> hey thanks alot guys
[03:44] <kuma> i was running znes but the program freezes, so i had to change to another tty to kill the process.
[03:44] <neo_> AzMoo, it says that the driver is "nv"
[03:44] <mewt> kuma, and ?
[03:44] <kuma> now the mouse wint work and i can only see the top left seccion of my screen
[03:44] <mindstate> hey guys, i had to turn my pc off with the power button cause my screen froze..i figured it might cause some bad blocks to appear...any way to check & fix bad blocks in linux?
[03:44] <AzMoo> neo_, That's the wrong driver. If you've installed the binary drivers you need to change it to "nvidia"
[03:45] <mewt> kuma, can you try kill your xserver ? ctrl + alt + backspace
[03:45] <neo_> AzMoo, should I just change it right there? Because, I followed the instcutions I was linked to.
[03:45] <kuma> (sorry if i don't answer quick, i had to wait to the text to scroll to the upper part of the screen
[03:45] <MichelL> hi all, question: i installed ubuntu edgy edge but now crontab doesn't work
[03:45] <ndee> hello there, I installed xgl and beryl according the wiki.ubuntuusers.de wiki. now, when I enter my xgl session and run "beryl" in a terminal, I get following message: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[03:45] <ndee> Checking for non power of two texture support   : failed
[03:45] <ndee> that doesn't look like beryl will work, right?
[03:46] <kuma> mewt i'll try killing my xserver
[03:46] <tom47> mindstate fsck
[03:46] <MichelL> when i type crontab -e i get the shell back
[03:46] <kuma> btw, if i succesfully kill it, what do i have to do next?
[03:46] <ndee> also, when I try to run fgl_glxgears, I get Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[03:46] <ndee> Error: couldn't get fbconfig
[03:46] <mewt> just wait for it to reload
[03:46] <mewt> and log in back again
[03:46] <IdleOne> kuma: that will kill and restart it
[03:46] <mindstate> tom47, thanks dude
[03:47] <neo_> Sorry about that....I accidentally disconnected
[03:47] <neo_> But should I just change the nv to nvidia?
[03:47] <mindstate> oh whoa
[03:47] <neo_> Because I followed the isntcutions.
[03:47] <mindstate> tom47, think it would be safe to run it while the FS is mounted? gave me a pretty scary warning lol
[03:47] <IdleOne> neo_: yes change to nvidia
[03:47] <AzMoo> neo_, is ok. Just change nv to nvidia. What instructions did you follow?
[03:47] <kuma> ok, ctrl alt backspace
[03:47] <neo_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[03:47] <tom47> mindstate f it booted up ok then i wouldn't worry abt fsck anything

[03:48] <mindstate> tom47, alright cool thanks
[03:48] <neo_> But I had done a lot of other junk before that...as I didn't know how to install them
[03:48] <neo_> But I just followed those instcutions I linked you to word by word
[03:48] <Jeruvy> why would I need to install dnet-common?  It seems to be for DECnet.  I'm not using that but libdnet seems to want to install it?
[03:48] <AzMoo> neo_, did you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig ?
[03:48] <pbureau> Jeruvy, dependencies
[03:49] <Jeruvy> is libdnet important for something or can I simply remove it?
[03:49] <neo_> Yes, AzMoo, I ran it...but it only gave me three lines
[03:49] <neo_> is that right?
[03:49] <djtansey> is there anyway to get 2.6.19 linux images for feisty? 2.6.20 has a madwifi problem that makes it unusable. it seems the 2.6.19 images existed, but have since disappeared
[03:49] <cmt^^> how come http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout didn't work for me? when restarting X after fullfilling the configuration the whole computer freezes up and the screen shows some jibberish lines in different colors... :|
[03:49] <neo_> First "Using config file" then "Backed up file" then "New X config file written"
[03:50] <kuma> well, that was harsh
[03:50] <mindstate> i had a nvidia card and didnt have to do anything but install ubuntu
[03:50] <neo_> Is that normal?
[03:50] <AzMoo> neo_, it's supposed to change the driver line, but i guess it didn't for some reason. Anyway, change it, restart X and you should be good.
[03:50] <tom47> Jeruvy a good place to explore what its interdependancies is to use synaptic and mark it for removal (though dont go ahead and do that) and see what else it wants to remove
[03:50] <AzMoo> mindstate, if you want proper 3d accel you need the nvidia binaries.

[03:51] <kuma> but it worked thanks for your help mewt and neo_
[03:51] <ardchoille42> AzMoo, Running sudo nvidia-glx-enable changes the driver to nv, I had to change to nvidia manually.
[03:51] <mindstate> AzMoo, same thing with ATI cards?
[03:51] <mewt> kuma, mp
[03:51] <AzMoo> mindstate, dunno, I don't use ATI
[03:52] <ctothej> How can I change the default programs for opening a certain file type?
[03:52] <tom47> Jeruvy if it says there is an interdependancy then there is simple as that really .... indulge it ;-)

[03:53] <ctothej> nothlit: will try it out now.
[03:54] <larss1> can anyone help me with a little BNC problem? or how to get started on installing stuff?
[03:54] <tom47> Jeruvny if you do then just see what else happens you can usually always set it right again by reinstalling but some of the interdependancies can get lengthy

[03:57] <ctothej> thanks*
[03:57] <tom47> Jeruvy fun huh :)
[03:57] <ikonia> there is a known bug with compiz/beryl that sometimes the "shutdown" button sometimes dissapears from the logout menu. I'm not using beryl/compiz (never installed) yet, I've got that bug
[03:57] <FluxAR> Hello folks! I have a problem. The last update the system made (automatically) broke my X .. :( I tried reconfiguring with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but I can only use VESA.. no more NVIDIA. I tried reinstalling NVIDIA drivers and nothing happens :(
[03:57] <ikonia> I've seen the details on forum threads, but there isn't a fix documented for outside beryl/compiz
[03:57] <winston> I used to get that bug in beryl
[03:57] <tarvid> anyone know how the Maildir directories are created on Ubuntu
[03:58] <cinnix> I need help displaying command at login. CTRL + ALT + F1 hangs. someone please help :(
[03:58] <ikonia> winston: yes, but I've got it outside of beryl
[03:58] <neo_> Okay, now I have the driver set up, thanks to azmoo, but I was wondering, should I use TwinView or Xinerama for dual monitors on my GeForce 6800 GT
[03:58] <ikonia> I've never seen it without beryl
[03:58] <ikonia> neo_: your call
[03:58] <neo_> Both work?
[03:58] <ikonia> yes
[03:59] <neo_> Okay, cool.

[04:02] <__doc__> I'm using the twin-view option of the nvidia driver

[04:03] <Mephisto_> @ikonia: but it will be mounted to the dir when you replug it into your first USB?
[04:03] <raoulsana> bonjour
[04:04] <ikonia> Mephisto_: probably not
[04:04] <ikonia> Mephisto_: unplugging it pulls the rug from under its feet
[04:04] <unop> Mephisto_,  it depends how the disk is mounted .. are you using mount or fuse?
[04:04] <ala> rjg:  i tried installing it last night...but synaptic refused to...
[04:04] <raoulsana> je suis tt nouveau dans le monde du pingui
[04:04] <michaelpo> ok.. the howto say to right click and "writing image to disc", but i'm not sure if it can detect my writer... it keep on asking me to put in cd or cdrw... i have tried many different blank cds and cdrws already...
[04:04] <rjg> does anyone know of a way to skinnautilius seperatly from all other apps(like, skining support)?
[04:04] <cyberyak> cinnix, np. do you have ssh installed and another machine on the network?
[04:04] <DC_ubuntu> Good morning, thanks for this channel.  I have a few questions abt why my HD partitions are not visible during the installation process (actually devices are not available)

[04:05] <tazz> i am having problems reading data of my dvdwriter i just burned a cd using k3b but when i insert my cd the folder shows up blank :-S
[04:05] <Mephisto_> @unop: mount. But with my usb stick it works, when i add /dev/bla to my fstab with the mount dir
[04:06] <michaelpo> what do i do now... help...
[04:06] <cyberyak> cinnix, what is the ultimate goal?
[04:06] <cyberyak> cinnix, before I mislead you.
[04:06] <Moniker42> hey i'm just installing vista at the moment but i want to install ubuntu afterwards - is there anything i can do while installing ubuntu that will prevent it from stopping vista from booting? i couldn't get vista to boot from grub last week.
[04:07] <unop> Mephisto_,  in that case, it depends which device is allocated to the USB disk when you plug it into another USB port .. if it continues to be detected as /dev/bla you should have no problem
[04:07] <Mephisto_> @unop: ah, ok thanks.
[04:07] <albert_> #ubuntu-fr
[04:08] <cinnix> cyberyak: to get fglrx drivers to work with direct rendering mode. i done it before using tseliot's envy script, but to use that requires CTRL + ALT + F1. i've exhausted every other option to configure DRI... nothing worked :(
[04:08] <DC_ubuntu> My HD is a SATA HD with a 5GB recovery partition, a 78GB NTFS (winXP) and a 10 GB ext3 partition that I intended to install ubuntu on
[04:08] <cinnix> cyberyak: the only difference between this installation and the last. I used alt cd instead of live cd
[04:08] <DC_ubuntu> but i only see one entry in /dev--that's sda3
[04:08] <Mephisto_> @Moniker42: Expect USB problems :-) Anyway, why do you want to have Vista? For playing?

[04:09] <cyberyak> cinnix, hmmm.  so you just need a console?
[04:09] <Moniker42> Mephisto_, just for the hell of it ;p
[04:09] <tom47> Moniker42: take a peek at this maybe http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first
[04:09] <cyberyak> cinnix, to manually edit xorg.conf or run your script?
[04:09] <__doc__> I'm using nvidia drivers twin view option in my xorg.conf, works fine except in full-screen mode picture is centered between both monitors. any idea?
[04:09] <Mephisto_> @Moniker42: ?
[04:10] <albert_> join #ubuntu-fr-testing
[04:10] <Moniker42> just want to run vista... there's stuff i can only do on windows

[04:10] <DC_ubuntu> did i come to the right place for a no-HD detect install issue?
[04:10] <Moniker42> Mephisto_, that link doesn't work...
[04:10] <cinnix> cyberyak: his instruction say you must ctrl alt f1 on login screen, i cant load it in gui or recovery mode. yea the script downloads and install the correct drivers after reading you card.

[04:14] <mindstate> Mephisto_, im having the same problem
[04:14] <AzMoo> neo_, funky. I've never seen that.
[04:15] <M_Fatih2> hi eerybody
[04:15] <Data_> neo_ configure with beryl it works
[04:15] <usr13> unop: Ok, (and sorry I mistook u 4 a bot:)
[04:15] <neo_> Okay, but should I first remove teh changes i did?

[04:15] <Zaggynl> adaptr, are you familiar with a bug in ubuntu that makes your keyboard/menu just stop working at all?
[04:15] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: what card do you using?
[04:16] <adaptr> also dark messiah, carbon, whatever else comes to mind tonight:)

[04:16] <Data_> AzMoo after the install of compiz nothing works for me then I had try to install beryl, configure it and it works fine
[04:17] <adaptr> neo_: actually, beryl adds super-cool kick-ass UNBELIEVABLY cool looking stuff

[04:17] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: have you tried the newest drivers?

[04:17] <neo_> ...and this being my second day of linux I'm not really prepared for teh risk of such doom.

[04:18] <DC_ubuntu> is there a better place for me to go for help?

[04:19] <adaptr> michaelpo: or cat /proc/ide/hd?/model

[04:22] <James> hi folks, I need a hand here
[04:22] <Zaggynl> unop, it seems to crash because totem-video-thumbnailer couldn't open a file
[04:22] <erUSUL> True_Lunacy: do no format it let the instaler use it full. it will take care of averything
[04:22] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: i too. still trying to find a solution. thx for the link. will try something new.
[04:22] <Zaggynl> pretty pathetic nautilus can hang my entire x session :/
[04:22] <unop> Zaggynl,  hmm, yep that tends to happen often, do you really need the thumbnailer functionality? you can turn it off
[04:22] <Zaggynl> Can I exclude swf files?
[04:23] <cinnix> cyberyak: x keyboard config i think :)
[04:23] <AzMoo> neo_, OK, change the "UseDisplayDevice" option to "DFP,DFP" and see what you get.
[04:23] <True_Lunacy> erUSUL- thanks. This is my second HDD, will ubuntu need to jig something in the first to make it bootable?
[04:23] <mindstate> Mephisto_, no probelm
[04:23] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: nothing. dam it.
[04:23] <Mephisto_> time to switch to nvidia :-(
[04:23] <erUSUL> True_Lunacy: normally yes it will install grub in the mbr of the first disk
[04:23] <unop> Zaggynl,  errm, not that i know off .. you could put the swf files in a seperate directory that you don't access often
[04:23] <neo_> Okay done...I'm going to restart the X server now, brb
[04:23] <mindstate> Mephisto_, did you try the link i sent you, its known to work pretty good
[04:23] <True_Lunacy> will this ruin anything on that disk?
[04:23] <Zaggynl> pff, that's a workaround :(
[04:23] <DC_ubuntu> i could really use a hand here, am in in a line, or should i just keep asking my question until people answer?
[04:24] <James> trying to save a document and I'm getting: 'You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file.'
[04:24] <Mephisto_> i tried the tip with the random hangups and it still freezes
[04:24] <unop> James,  into which directory are you trying to save that file?
[04:24] <mindstate> anyone know why i receive this "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" error when running a glxinfo | grep rendering
[04:24] <neo_> Nope, no difference, AskMoo
[04:24] <James> rules.d unop
[04:25] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: what about composite?
[04:25] <unop> James,  errm, whats the full path?
[04:25] <mindstate> Mephisto_, set it to false
[04:25] <DC_ubuntu> durn, maybe i'm using IRC wrong and no one can see what i'm typing
[04:25] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: try to set it to Disable
[04:25] <James> unop: /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules
[04:25] <neo_> But right now, it seems that the Ubuntu thinks both of the monitors are in one....because the screen is bigger than my monitor...like I was saying, it doesn't show teh whole desktop unless I put my cursor to the side ans scroll over
[04:26] <mindstate> Mephisto_, yes
[04:26] <mindstate> make sure the DRI line is not commented out
[04:26] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: yes?
[04:26] <mindstate> Mephisto_, yes lol
[04:26] <unop> James,  ahh yes, that directory does not belong to you (the user) .. save the file somewherre else temporarily and then copy it over to /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules later as superuser
[04:26] <True_Lunacy> Will installing Ubuntu on my second HDD ruin anything on my first? Or should it all work seamlessly? I have winXP on first HDD
[04:26] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: no did you tried it or will you do it?
[04:27] <AzMoo> neo_, yeah, because your display devices option is only properly specifying one device. Try DFP-0 and DFP-1 (I use CRT and TV, so I'm not sure the exact labels you need for 2 DFP's)
[04:27] <James> unop: do I login as superuser?
[04:27] <neo_> So, replace DFP,DFP with DFP-0, DFP-1?
[04:27] <unop> James,  you dont have to -- you can use this command -- sudo cp /path/to/file /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules
[04:27] <James> ahha
[04:27] <mindstate> Mephisto_, I've tried it, didnt work for me, but u have a different chipset. You really should follow the instructions for fglrx installation on the link i gave you
[04:27] <AzMoo> neo_, yup.
[04:27] <neo_> Okay, done...I'm restarting again.
[04:28] <Mephisto_> @mindstate: Know this link http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ATI-Grafikkarten/fglrx/Problembehebung
[04:28] <DC_ubuntu> unop, the su acct is disabled in ubuntu by default--that's why u use sudo instead
[04:28] <Mephisto_> ?
[04:28] <DC_ubuntu> i mean...oh, nevermind
[04:28] <dahu_> join /ubuntu-it
[04:28] <unop> DC_ubuntu,  well, quite right only that the root account is locked (not the 'su' account)
[04:28] <mindstate> Mephisto_, looks like the same link in a different language, but yes
[04:29] <DC_ubuntu> unop, yes, sorry, new to linux
[04:29] <DC_ubuntu> i woudl appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction to get my HDs detected
[04:29] <mindstate> Mephisto_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[04:29] <Stormx2> DC_ubuntu: hard drives? They should already be detected.

[04:32] <mindstate> newbie, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home?action=show&redirect=FrontPage try there
[04:32] <adaptr> newbie: the ubuntu site, also ubuntuguide.org, have very complete info

[04:33] <newbie> thank you
[04:33] <unop> newbie,  this might help too -- www.google.com/linux
[04:33] <Byan> I just tried creating a RAID5 array
[04:33] <Enselic`> I am using tv-out on my laptop, but the image on the TV is very flashy, is this the X-server ir something else?
[04:33] <mindstate> anyone know why i receive this "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b" error when running a glxinfo | grep rendering
[04:33] <Byan> and then on reboot I get stuck
[04:33] <unop> DC_ubuntu,  have you tried mounting /dev/sda3 ?
[04:33] <Byan> gives me these ata2:
[04:33] <Byan> errors
[04:34] <DC_ubuntu> unop: on a 1.8 Ghz centrino laptop (banias chipset).  dapper drake pauses on the second item in the checklist, if i recall
[04:34] <Byan> and before it was trying add sdc to the raid and it couldn't..
[04:34] <Byan> X_x
[04:34] <Byan> but I can't get into the console
[04:34] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: are you there? can you help me compile the latest alsa?
[04:34] <unop> DC_ubuntu,  sorry, what does the "second item on the checklist" pertain to - my photographic memory is quite low on resources :)
[04:35] <DC_ubuntu> unop: yes, i think i have.  if i recall, it gave me some error about it not being in fstab or mtab, i had a friend add it, and it still wouldn't do it
[04:35] <DC_ubuntu> unop: so is mine--i only have one computer and was trying to remember
[04:36] <DC_ubuntu> unop: i think it's "mounting root filesystem" or something to do with HDs
[04:37] <Byan> ;_;
[04:37] <unop> DC_ubuntu, makes sense .. the HDD doesnt seem to be detected? are you tring to install via the desktop CD?
[04:38] <ndee> does anyone have an ATI card and xgl & beryl running?
[04:38] <DC_ubuntu> unop: Yes, I was, I'm currently downloading the alternate CD, but i've tried the desktop versions of edgy and 6.06
[04:38] <Enselic`> I need my i820 driver to produce pure VGA 60 Hz output (for TV). Is this possible?
[04:38] <James> unop... would that be:  sudo cp /home/james/Desktop/45-libgphoto2.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules
[04:39] <unop> DC_ubuntu,  I'd say wait and try the alternate CD .. it'll probably have a better chance of working
[04:39] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Enselic` about modeline | Enselic`, see the private message from Ubotu
[04:39] <unop> James,  yes if /home/james/Desktop/45-libgphoto2.rules is the file you downloaded :)
[04:39] <Enselic`> !modeline
[04:39] <ubotu> A Modeline is a configuration line in the X server configuration file that provides information about a connected computer monitor or television and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here is 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://www.bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[04:40] <unop> James,  I'd use this instead  sudo cp /home/james/Desktop/45-libgphoto2.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
[04:40] <mindstate> uh oh my mouse isnt working..lol wut do i do

[04:41] <unop> mindstate, you still working on xorg.conf ?
[04:41] <`underOATH> how do i allow root login on edgy?
[04:41] <DC_ubuntu> unop: ok.  i'll try that.  my concern was if the live CD doesn't detect my HD, maybe the install won't.  but the good news is that when i try to install from within the live boot, the installer can see my partitions, although it requires me to manually edit the partition table and GpartEd can't see the partitions either
[04:41] <mindstate> unop, no, i opened a game..the game messed up closed out and now my mouse isnt moving lol
[04:42] <unop> mindstate,  ouch , thats bad .. i'd restart X/GDM if i were you
[04:42] <DC_ubuntu> unop: thank you, i'll be trying the alternate CD
[04:42] <mindstate> unop, just about to that thanks brb
[04:43] <unop> DC_ubuntu, cool :)
[04:43] <cyberyak> hrm.  I just made 2 xubuntu coasters.
[04:43] <DC_ubuntu> thanks!
[04:43] <eguzkia> hello
[04:43] <James> unop: doesn't seem to be working...
[04:43] <eguzkia> someone knows why i have problem to install zope-mysqlda?
[04:44] <`underOATH> how do i allow root login on edgy?
[04:44] <unop> James,  errm, ok, first make sure the downloaded file exists -- ls -l ~/Desktop/45-libgphoto2.rules
[04:44] <mindstate> unop, that worked :}
[04:45] <fatbrain> Hello, anyone running pulseaudio and gotten around the "module-hal-detected" error when starting the daemon?
[04:45] <unop> `underOATH,  it's not advised you do it -- but if you really want it -- sudo passwd root  and complete the procedure there
[04:45] <James> unop, sure does.
[04:45] <unop> James,  sorry, i should have asked what error messages (if any) that command gave you
[04:46] <neo_> Bah, BAH, I rebooted with those changes and X Server wouldn't work....so I had to restore to a really really old xorg.conf file.
[04:46] <neo_> Now I lost all the driver changes and everything
[04:46] <andre> !nvidia
[04:46] <eguzkia> someone knows problem about zope2.9 and plone or mysql?
[04:46] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:46] <James> unop, nothing, just back to james@James-Desktop:~$
[04:46] <neo_> Still out there, AskMoo?
[04:46] <unop> James, ahh, it means the command was successful :)
[04:46] <James> O
[04:47] <unop> James, verify the file exists at its new location -- ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/
[04:47] <tazz> i have 2 cdrom, one as master and one as slave, when i type eject in a terminal the slave ejects,how do i make the master cdrom eject? mount point /media/cdrom0
[04:48] <unop> tazz,  you probably need to pass the device/mount point to eject -- check the eject manpage -- man eject
[04:48] <Byan> can someone please help me with my RAID problem..?
[04:48] <James> unop. thankyou :)
[04:48] <Azeqss> guys, i have an error 21 with grub, what can i do about it ???
[04:48] <unop> James,  yw (if it worked) :)
[04:48] <cyberyak> byan, what kind of raid problem?
[04:48] <Byan> I tried creating the array
[04:48] <Byan> and then I rebooted
[04:49] <eguzkia> someone knows problem about plone and mysql
[04:49] <Byan> and it said it couldn't get sdc to work and now
[04:49] <Byan> I am stuck at boot up with ata2: and ata1: errors
[04:49] <Byan> ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0x51/0c to SCI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00
[04:49] <Byan> they look like that
[04:49] <unop> eguzkia, if its a generic error, we might be able to help -- but otherwise you might want to see if dedicated rooms exist for #plone and #mysql and ask your question there
[04:50] <Azeqss> guys, i have an error 21 with grub, what can i do about it ??? IT'S my first screen i get :s
[04:50] <andre> My Nvidia binary  sometimes doesn't recognize one of my monitors...  anyone ever encounter this?

[04:52] <eguzkia> unop: ithink is a ubuntu problem
[04:52] <djtansey> does this mean that feisty can't use older kernels in feisty? W: udev hook script requires at least kernel version 2.6.19
[04:52] <eguzkia> unop: because i need some old packages like pyton2.2 that i can't find in ubuntu server
[04:53] <Azeqss> can somebody help me ? i haven't found anything on the internet yet
[04:53] <hjmills> what framebuffer device would be best for freevo?
[04:53] <rotero> Hello, all.
[04:53] <unop> eguzkia,  ahh yea, python2.2 is being (has been) phased out -- if you install it you are likely to break a lot of packages .. are you sure you are using the latest versions of plone and it's dependencies?
[04:54] <kbrooks> is there an aiglx channel for ubuntu?

[04:55] <hjmills> kbrooks: #ubuntu-effects
[04:55] <kbrooks> ok.

[04:57] <unop> Azeqss,  error 21 indicates the selected disk is not found/detected .. is it a SATA/RAID disk?
[04:57] <djtansey> unop: good to know. too bad 2.6.19 is no longer available, as far as i can tell, and the 2.6.20 kernels madwifi doesn't work.
[04:57] <FluxAR> Hello folks. After the last automatic update of my system, I can't use NVIDIA :( I only can access Xorg with VESA. How can I reinstall NVIDIA support? When I try I get an error related to GLX

[04:59] <blind> anyone have a clue why I can't get into 1280x1024 screen resolution? I know my monitor can, I've done it before. My vertrefresh and horizsync rates are correct in my xorg.conf, and the resolution is in there as well... it doesn't make any sense to me :|
[04:59] <Li`lEndian> Hi, i've got a problem with gnome. I can login and use KDM/Fluxbox- but whenever i start a gnome-session, it just shows me a blank screen - nothing happens.
[05:00] <LeeJunFan> are there debs available for edgy for gaim 2.0 b6?
[05:00] <Li`lEndian> no splash screen, no panels. no nothing.
[05:00] <unop> eguzkia,  thats very odd, you should fill in a bug-report .. that package must use the latest python release (i.e. 2.4)
[05:00] <Li`lEndian> wait, mouse is there. but thats all there's to it.
[05:00] <larssv> when i try to do a "make menuconfig" i get a huge wall of text that looks like error messages, can anyone help me a bit with this?
[05:00] <blind> Li`lEndian: The same thing happens to me.
[05:00] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: edit their name in the passwd file, 'sudo vipw'
[05:01] <Ilovemypuppy> no it was usermod -l
[05:01] <PupUserfeb521> lots of people in here
[05:01] <Azeqss> unop, i guess i have, but how can i fix it ?
[05:01] <blind> LeeJunFan: you can download the rpm from sf and then use alien to turn it into a deb.
[05:01] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: same thing
[05:01] <PupUserfeb521> i feel like a sardine

[05:02] <LeeJunFan> blind: I was worried about not resolving all the deps with that method. worked for you?
[05:02] <Li`lEndian> blind: did you update anything? it could've been after that.
[05:02] <PupUserfeb521> hey can someone pass me a cold beer?
[05:02] <NoEvidenZ> Three hours of IRC just spammed before my eyes..
[05:02] <Li`lEndian> although i don't have an inkling to what could be the culprit here.
[05:02] <blind> jrib: I've been through my xorg, and I've restarted X.
[05:02] <blind> LeeJunFan: debs don't carry the deps anyways.
[05:02] <Ilovemypuppy> well I have to say, I didnt think i'd be able to do this and you guys really helped a lot - thank you
[05:02] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: also, you'll need 'usermod -d' to reset the homedir
[05:03] <blind> Li`lEndian: I don't even remember. I use fluxbox primarily, and went to go into gnome one day and got a blank screen with a mouse and nothing else.
[05:03] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, i didnt do that yet
[05:03] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: and lastly, you'll need to rename their home directory
[05:03] <neo_> I was installing the binary drivers for my GeForce 6800, and now I can't get the X server to work
[05:03] <frogzoo> and then you're done
[05:03] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, usermod -d user or usermod -d /home/user
[05:03] <prower> Anyone using Beryl/Gnome here having problems with Totem playing movies slowly in fullscreen?

[05:04] <neo_> I restored the xorg.config file, but the only change in there was to change the "nv" to "Nvidia" in the device section

[05:05] <neo_> I just installe the nvidia drivers
[05:05] <lupine_85> it can make a real difference :)
[05:05] <prower> nothlit: That's possible :> It's nothing special, an AGP NVIDIA Geforce FX 5900
[05:06] <neo_> And it was all working well, until I chaned the "nv" to "nvidia"
[05:06] <Ilovemypuppy> how do I go about changing the ownerships on everything
[05:06] <neo_> In xorg.config
[05:06] <neo_> Now I can't boot the x server.
[05:06] <Azeqss> jesus, can noone help me :s i thaught this was a very good community
[05:06] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy this will do everything 'sudo usermod -l newuser user ; sudo 'usermod -m -d /home/newuser newuser'
[05:06] <neo_> I restored it, and it works now....but the dirvers dont' work.
[05:06] <blind> neo_: did you read the output?
[05:06] <Seveas> !patience | Azeqss
[05:06] <ubotu> Azeqss: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:06] <neo_> Well, yeah, it said it could'nt find some module
[05:06] <neo_> It made a log as well....but I couldn't find that.
[05:06] <blind> which module? that's helpful information to have >_>
[05:06] <Ilovemypuppy> ahhhh usermod -m! that creates the new dir, but I renamed the old dir to the new dir
[05:06] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: hang on, half a sec
[05:07] <Seveas> neo_, you installed the drivers wrong
[05:07] <ryanakca> neo_: mind pastebinning /var/log/Xorg.0.log    ?
[05:07] <Ilovemypuppy> its too late for -m
[05:07] <neo_> Where can I find the log?
[05:07] <nothlit> prower: try turning off things like blur and whatnot
[05:07] <Seveas> !nvidia | neo_
[05:07] <ubotu> neo_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:07] <nothlit> prower: how big are the videos you're playing?
[05:07] <neo_> I've followed that
[05:07] <neo_> To the letter
[05:07] <neo_> And okay, I'm going to pastebin it now
[05:07] <prower> nothlit: Well, typical downloaded DivX movie size ;P 600-700MB
[05:08] <nothlit> prower: oh, you're playing the really large videos
[05:08] <nothlit> prower: maybe your gfx card can't handle HD res videos and beryl at the same time
[05:08] <prower> Oh, I wouldn't say they're high definition videos
[05:09] <prower> 2 hours = 700-800MB at most
[05:09] <blind> prower: how much video memory do you have?
[05:09] <Azeqss> i have patience, i'm here already for an hour, waiting till someone wants to help me
[05:09] <prower> blind: 256MB unshared
[05:09] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy this will do everything 'sudo 'usermod -m -d /home/newuser user ; sudo usermod -l newuser user '
[05:09] <blind> prower: yeah, that's probably not enough for both beryl and movies.
[05:09] <cbx33> what's up Azeqss
[05:09] <prower> I have 1GB DDR400 RAM, I guess I could dedicate more of that to AGP
[05:09] <jrib> Azeqss: it's not that no one wants to help you, it's that no one knows how...
[05:09] <Azeqss> guys, i have an error 21 with grub, what can i do about it ??? IT'S my first screen i get :s
[05:09] <cbx33> hang on
[05:09] <blind> I know I have 256 on my card and movies would stall and stutter with beryl running.
[05:10] <neo_> Okay then, this is extremely long...but here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3982/
[05:10] <frogzoo> Azeqss: multiple hard drives?
[05:10] <prower> blind: Yeah, more or less the same here
[05:10] <neo_> That's my little log from the error
[05:10] <Azeqss> i 've looked on the internet, but haven't found anything uefull ( what i understands)
[05:10] <Azeqss> yes, multiple hard drives
[05:10] <prower> blind: It's weird, because the (unspeakably evil ;P) Windows Vista seems to handle Aero fine on the same machine
[05:10] <blind> prower: yeah, just click the beryl icon and change the window manager to metacity, then watch your videos :D
[05:11] <Azeqss> i installed ubuntu like an hour ago, when it was done it said 'restart' and now i get the error
[05:11] <cbx33> Azeqss, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/8978
[05:11] <neo_> This is after I had restored the xorg.conf file....it might not show the error
[05:11] <prower> At least with Beryl you have the option of rapidly turning it on and off, though :> All they need to add in is some way to detect when to turn it off when certain programs are run
[05:11] <cbx33> Azeqss, see if that helps
[05:11] <blind> prower: you could probably write a script to do so :P
[05:11] <neo_> Can anyone make any sense of that?
[05:11] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, theres something wrong with that syntax, its giving me the error that I didnt input it right
[05:12] <prower> blind: Probably :> I had even considered trying to get a hacked version of OSX running on the machine, but I don't really see the point in that...it's always going to be unsupported
[05:12] <Azeqss> cbx33, i have already read that, but i don't understand what i have to do :s
[05:12] <nothlit> prower: try turning triple buffering off, and vblank syncing
[05:13] <blind> prower: but neat nontheless! I tried downloading one of those CDs, no seeders when I got it, though :[
[05:13] <Yodude> hey can someone help me with mouting my partitions?
[05:13] <nothlit> prower: can it handle vista + aero + HD videos though?
[05:13] <prower> nothlit: That I didn't get the chance to try :> Ultimate irritated me so much I reformatted before I actually played a video
[05:14] <neo_> Can anyone help with that?
[05:14] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: which command failed, the 1 or 2nd?
[05:14] <cbx33> Azeqss, is it possible that by going into the bios you can get it to boot off the right device
[05:14] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, the first
[05:14] <cbx33> that's what it appears Bruce was talking about
[05:14] <Ilovemypuppy> somethings wrong with the -m
[05:15] <Wespe> hi, how can i make my kde panel completely transparent?
[05:15] <neo_> After I installed the nvidia drivers and I restart the X Server (ctrll+alt+backspace) it works. But when I do a full reboot of the computer, X server fales to start
[05:15] <neo_> Why could this be?
[05:15] <nothlit> Wespe: #kubuntu, #kde
[05:15] <Azeqss> cbx33, when i do that, i press boot from c, i still get the error
[05:15] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: you can leave it out, just means you'll have to move the home directory yourself
[05:15] <Azeqss> i'm now on ebuntu with the live cd, can i do something here ?
[05:15] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, how do I make the contents in the directory belong to the new user>?
[05:16] <erUSUL> neo_: have you instaled the driver from the *.run file from nvidia.com??
[05:16] <PriceChild> neo_, do you get an error message?
[05:16] <kenthomson> May I ask a simple question
[05:16] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, chown then all?
[05:16] <blind> !ask | kenthomson
[05:16] <ubotu> kenthomson: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:16] <Azeqss> for now, that's the only thing i can do on my pc :s
[05:16] <neo_> ErUSUL, I installed the file from the guide....I think it got it from the restrcited repositories
[05:16] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: nope - they're all owned the same userid - you just need to change the name of the homedirectory
[05:16] <neo_> Price, yes, I get a long error message
[05:16] <neo_> I pastebinned it, here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3982/
[05:17] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: 1st do the 2nd command, the -l
[05:17] <kenthomson> I have connected a widescreen monitor to my Ubuntu box, it's native resolution is 1440x900, besides editing the xorg.conf is there anything else i need to do (things like turning true type on, etc) to get the optimum result for the LCD
[05:17] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, when I ls -l them the owner comes up as the old username
[05:17] <pbureau> I am compiling (if this is the wrong channel please indicate which one to ask into, I can find one about programming questions.) NetworkManager 0.64 and a few errors/warning have popped up and wondering what I should/can do anything about it -- Pastebin error messages - http://rafb.net/p/1oBjnh21.html
[05:17] <kenthomson> Did you people get my question in all this mess that the server is throwing?
[05:17] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: because you haven't yet 'sudo usermod -l newuser user'
[05:18] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, yes I have
[05:18] <pbureau> I did because I turned off all the messages from sever off :) keep screen clean
[05:18] <kenthomson> !nvidia
[05:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:18] <Otacon22> anyone have a tutorial to anable 3d with a ati radeon 9550?
[05:18] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: start & new shell &try again
[05:19] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, ok, im logged in under the new username
[05:19] <neo_> You guys have any ideas about why this happens?
[05:19] <frogzoo> Ilovemypuppy: you shouldn't have either user logged in while doing this, that's begging for trouble
[05:19] <prower> Hmm...okay, I'm in the manager, I don't see the option to turn off triple buffering though
[05:19] <neo_> I mean, why wouldi t not work on full reboot, but work when I do the ctrl+alt+backspace not work?
[05:20] <neo_> I mean, it works with the latter
[05:20] <neo_> But not with the reboot
[05:20] <Azeqss> i'd really like to get some help ..
[05:20] <Ilovemypuppy> frogzoo, thanks anyhow. You're just confusing me and the instructions you are giving me arent working. I appreciate you giving it a shot.
[05:20] <cbx33> Azeqss, gimme 2 ticks ok
[05:20] <neo_> Bah, I'm going to reboot, brb...if anyone is even thikning about my question.
[05:21] <ctothej> im trying to get flash 9 plugin working with nspluginwrapper on edgy 64 bit firefox. Firefox is looking for nsviewer in /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper but it exists in /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386 and /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch , but not in /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64 . What can i do?
[05:21] <Azeqss> (i guess ticks = like seconds?) ok
[05:21] <ctothej> npviewer*
[05:21] <cbx33> Ja
[05:21] <cbx33> ok
[05:21] <cbx33> Azeqss, load up the gnome partition editor from the system menu
[05:21] <kling0n> how do I pass make options to dpkg ?
[05:22] <cbx33> kling0n, in what way?
[05:22] <kling0n> Im trying to install Virtualbox
[05:22] <cbx33> ahhhhhh
[05:22] <kling0n> and I need to  specify the kernsel source dir
[05:22] <cbx33> hehe i tried that the other day
[05:22] <kling0n> kernel
[05:22] <unop> neo_, I think you should try creating a new xorg.conf -- reboot, login at the console -- sudo Xorg -configure (to create a dummy xorg.conf in /root/Xorg.conf) .. and then -- Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf (to test that generated xorg.conf)  .. note: you are not changing the original xorg.conf here
[05:23] <cbx33> kling0n, I'm not sure you can do that
[05:23] <Azeqss> cbx33, i opened it, what now
[05:23] <hbaigu> pbureau, maybe the configure script don't like wildcards
[05:23] <rotero> What's the key command to switch between workspaces?
[05:23] <cbx33> Azeqss, ok on the right is there a boot flag for the partition you installed ubuntu on?
[05:23] <cbx33> kling0n, gimme 2 ticks
[05:24] <jrib> rotero: ctrl-alt-<arrow key>  but you can change it in preferences
[05:24] <Rochvellon> i've a problem. i deleted somthing with thunar but with unrm i won't be able to recover it. it is an ext3 filesystem
[05:24] <unop> rotero,  I should think ALT+F1, ALT+F2 etc
[05:24] <cbx33> kling0n, hang on
[05:24] <rotero> jrib:  Thanks.
[05:24] <cbx33> if you're installing the deb from the site?
[05:24] <cbx33> which I assume you are...am I right?
[05:24] <kling0n> cbx33: trying tooo :89
[05:24] <kling0n> :)
[05:25] <cbx33> well then the make should already have been done
[05:25] <Ilovemypuppy> ok I got it
[05:25] <kling0n> cbx33: yes.. only it doesnt work...
[05:25] <cbx33> so you can't pass a make arguemnt to it
[05:25] <kling0n> cbx33: and I want to start running a custom kernel in a mo too, anyways
[05:25] <kling0n> ahh
[05:25] <cbx33> does that make sense
[05:25] <rotero> unop:  alt+F1 puts keyboard focus in the menus in the top panel.  alt+F2 is Run an Application.
[05:25] <kling0n> the kernel module is not built yet

[05:27] <cbx33> so kling0n, you ok now?
[05:27] <LoRez> idiotic drone flood
[05:27] <kling0n> split attack?
[05:27] <LjL> don't think we're in a split anymore. just funny children. please go on with support questions, and nevermind them.
[05:27] <kling0n> cbx33: no... the kernel module is built as part of the process (even in the downloaded .deb)
[05:27] <cbx33> want me to download it and try
[05:27] <cbx33> :p
[05:27] <kling0n> cbx33: so I need to figure out how the dpkg syntax works
[05:27] <kling0n> :P
[05:27] <kling0n> nah
[05:28] <cbx33> dpkg is just for isntalling a package all makes etc should have been done already
[05:28] <kling0n> im running a -i386 kernel on an AMD machine... and might not have the headers in place for it
[05:28] <cbx33> oh yeh
[05:28] <cbx33> instlal the kernel source will be a must i would have thought
[05:28] <Rochvellon> i've a problem. i deleted somthing with thunar but with unrm i won't be able to recover it. it is an ext3 filesystem
[05:28] <cbx33> and the headers
[05:28] <kling0n> dpkg apparently allows some stuff to be compiled if its part of the preinst scritp
[05:28] <kling0n> :)
[05:28] <Azeqss> i have 3 lines now:  /dev/hdb1| filesystem: ext3| size: 48 gb | used: 704 mb |unused:35.12 | flags: boot    than mysecond line:  dev/hdb2 | filesystem: extended | size: 1.44 fb | rest= dashes  the 3rd line: /dev/hdb5 | filesystem: linux-swap | size: 1.44 gb | rest dashes
[05:28] <cbx33> ah right i see
[05:28] <frogzoo> kling0n: on dapper, you'd do best with the 686 kernel
[05:29] <cbx33> in that case, you may be able to set an environment variable
[05:29] <unop> Rochvellon,  thunar should have placed the deleted files in ~/.Trash .. have you checked there?
[05:29] <kling0n> cbx33: I am buillding a custom kernel... thus, I need to point the kernel module building script to that kernel source dir
[05:29] <cbx33> kling0n, do you have build-essential installed?
[05:29] <kling0n> cbx33: yup
[05:29] <dimeotane> Can I turn off the enter and 'left the room' IRC messages  in Gaim?
[05:29] <hbaigu> Rochvellon, if it is not important, forget it
[05:29] <kling0n> cbx33: I might just go and modify the .deb sciprt :)
[05:29] <cbx33> ok
[05:30] <kling0n> cbx33: but I would think theres a better way to do it
[05:30] <Rochvellon> unop: i used the xubuntu live-cd, there is no .trash, thats my problem
[05:30] <Rochvellon> hbaigu: it ist importent: i deleted /bin
[05:30] <unop> Rochvellon,  note there's a difference in .trash and .Trash  ..
[05:30] <roxlu_> hi all
[05:30] <cbx33> kling0n, have you read the pdf manual
[05:30] <roxlu_> how can I mount an external HD  (ntfs) with write support
[05:30] <kling0n> ahh got it :;)
[05:31] <Rochvellon> and now i have a ubuntu live-cd, unop
[05:31] <johnnytang24> how does one get grub to install in the MBR on an LVM?

[05:31] <ubotu> roxlu_: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[05:31] <kling0n> turns out the kernel module build happens in /opt/VirtualBox
[05:31] <roxlu_> thanx
[05:31] <unop> Rochvellon,  hmm, did you delete the files while logged in via the live/desktop CD ?
[05:31] <rotero> Every so often a window appears in the window list that says "Launching HTTP cahce cleaner."  What's that all about?
[05:31] <hbaigu> Rochvellon, reinstall
[05:31] <kling0n> there we go :)
[05:31] <Rochvellon> via live desktop i mounted the filesystem
[05:31] <Azeqss> cbx33, what now ?
[05:32] <kling0n> frogzoo: I'm on edgy :)
[05:32] <roxlu_> and juano I than mount it with type: -t ntfs-3g ?
[05:32] <charly> holas
[05:32] <cbx33> Azeqss, you didin't answer my question
[05:32] <juano_> roxlu_: yes, it would be wise to put a good line in fstab

[05:34] <kenthomson> Can someone please help me, I am having a samsung syncmaster 940bw widescreen monitor which is capable of 1440x900 as native resolution, but i dont know if it can do it at 60hz 70hz 75hz, but i am having the vxh sync values. here they are V-Synv:56-75 h-Sync:30-81. Please help me as i dont want to set a higher value for frequency which can possibly damage my monitor
[05:34] <cbx33> sorry Azeqss I didn't see that line
[05:34] <juano_> roxlu_: then add a line to /etc/fstab like for example --->    /dev/hdX#       /media/windows  ntfs-3g        auto,rw,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8  0       0

[05:35] <cbx33> I'm a little stumped
[05:35] <juano_> roxlu_: in that example you should make a dir like sudo mkdir /media/windows
[05:35] <juanchito2006> Why does the file roller doesnt suppot files larger than 2GB?
[05:35] <elwario91> thanks
[05:35] <blind> kenthomson: google your monitor model and find the correct refresh rates.
[05:35] <elwario91> where are they located?
[05:36] <mr__daniel> wow, I have never seen 1006 users online at the same time
[05:36] <johnnytang24> how in the world does Ubuntu get lilo to boot /boot from an LVM?
[05:36] <needHelp_> I have two disks in raid1 .. hda2 and hdb2   they are /dev/md0   how can I force hda2 to be resynced out of hdb2?
[05:36] <kenthomson> blind: those horizontal and vertical sync rates that i have given are a result of google, but i dont know what it translates to in terms of a single value as in 7-hz or 75hz, etc
[05:36] <juanchito2006> mr__daniel:1007
[05:36] <Ilovemypuppy> is there a gnome-light for ubuntu?
[05:37] <blind> kenthomson: your VertRefresh is 56-75 and your HorizSync is 30-81
[05:37] <juano_> roxlu_: remember to run sudo mount -a after changing the /etc/fstab
[05:37] <unop> juanchito2006,  there has to be a limit on the size it can handle and i should think 2GB is a good limit .. how often do you come across compressed files bigger than 2GB (you should be using split if thats the case)
[05:37] <blind> you put it in just like that in your xorg.conf
[05:37] <kenthomson> Can someone please help me set the correct frequency for my monitor, i have the refresh rates for horizontal, vertical sync they are V-Synv:56-75 h-Sync:30-81, So how do i know whether my monitor can do 1440x900 (its native resolution) at 60 or 70 or 75 or 80 or 95hz?
[05:37] <roxlu_> oke thanx a lot juano!
[05:37] <cornelius> \help
[05:37] <unop> kenthomson,  refer to the monitor's documentation on those details
[05:37] <kenthomson> blind, i know that but i want to know how it translates to a specific value as in 60hz or 7-hz or 75hz etc
[05:38] <rotero> Does the totem package require totem-xine?  The desc. for totem in Synaptic says "This package is a dummy package depending on totem-xine for the moment."
[05:38] <pbureau> kenthomson, is it an lcd monitor ?
[05:38] <kenthomson> unop, the documentation told me the sync values but i am looking for a single digit as in 60hz or 75hz, how do i calculate that from those values
[05:38] <hbaigu> kenthomson, VertRefresh is in Hz, HorizSync is in kHzz
[05:38] <juano_> roxlu_: no problem :-) anytime
[05:38] <blind> 60 and 75 would be double digits >_>
[05:38] <pirate-king> hello
[05:38] <kenthomson> pbureau, yes it's a 19inch lcd , V-Synv:56-75 h-Sync:30-81, native resolution is 1440x900
[05:38] <kenthomson> hbaigu, yes please put the units there by yourself
[05:39] <kenthomson> blind, i don't understand what you are trrying to say
[05:39] <blind> kenthomson: im saying, open your xorg.conf.. find VertRefresh and HorizSync and replace the values there with the ones you have now.
[05:39] <juanchito2006> unop: How do i split them in order to reuse them in windows?
[05:39] <kenthomson> blind, unop pbureau hbaigu: what i am looking for is how the values that i have got for individual vertical and horizontal and sync rates, translate into a single number eg.70hz or 75hz etc?
[05:40] <Azeqss> can anyone else maybe help me with grub error 21 ?
[05:40] <pirate-king> I installed my nvidia drivers now my start up screen font is big how do you set that?
[05:40] <kenthomson> blind, i have done, that but i want to know the safe value what should i set 70hz or 75hz or 85hz or what?
[05:40] <juano_> pirate-king: you mean resolution is big ?
[05:40] <kenthomson> blind, i don;t want ubuntu to detect it by itself once i set it in the xorg.conf as it can easiuly ruin my monitor
[05:40] <blind> kenthomson: it'll pick it automatically. select the resolution and it should adjust accordingly.
[05:40] <hbaigu> kenthomson, V-Synv:56-75 = 56Hz-75Hz
[05:40] <Phopsy> Hey all, my screen resolution was on 1024*768, now when I boot up it's on 800*600 and won't change back, any clues...
[05:40] <kenthomson> blind, is there a way i can manually know the safe value
[05:41] <blind> read the specs.
[05:41] <juano_> Phopsy: check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in section display be sure the res you want is added there
[05:41] <kenthomson> hbaigu, i am looking for the single value as in 1440x900 @ 60hz or @ 75hz, the last digit is what i am interested in
[05:41] <pirate-king> no well on the start up login screen the font is big
[05:41] <rtr-> hi there
[05:41] <Phopsy> Thanks juano
[05:41] <unop> juanchito2006,  errm, something like this -- split -b 134217728 filetosplit; for i in `ls -1 x*`; do tar czvf $i.tgz $i; done
[05:41] <kenthomson> blind, the specs don;t say anythinge xcept giving me individual sync tates
[05:41] <blind> kenthomson: but if your monitor takes all those refresh rates, none of them are going to ruin it.
[05:41] <juano_> pirate-king: mm, only in login screen ?
[05:41] <pirate-king> yeah
[05:41] <pirate-king> bigger than before I installed drivers
[05:42] <juano_> pirate-king: System ---> preferences ---> login screen , try if you can configure it there
[05:42] <pirate-king> ok
[05:42] <kenthomson> blind, SO what is safe for my monitor, can i know it manually 60 ot 65 or 85 hz or what? I don;t want to trust x on that
[05:42] <blind> ANY of them are safe
[05:42] <pbureau> kenthomson, 75hz willnot harm your monitor
[05:42] <unop> juanchito2006,  that command is unverified -- but it should give you a load of smaller .tgz files which can be uncompressed and joined together under windows
[05:43] <kenthomson> blind, how come any of them are safe? there has gottu be a optimal value and a unsafe value, will i set a value of 100hz too?
[05:43] <kenthomson> pbureau, how did you calculate that
[05:43] <blind> If it's in the instruction book, it's not going to kill your monitor if you use it.
[05:43] <blind> That would be silly.
[05:43] <kenthomson> blind, but i am lookijg for a single value
[05:43] <kenthomson> blind, not the individual sunc ratezx for the horizontal and vertical ranges
[05:43] <blind> try them and see which one works.
[05:43] <pbureau> kenthomson,  because my 15inch  lcd handles 75hz easy peasy.. and its got a lower resultion 1280x1024,
[05:43] <unop> kenthomson,  I usually find that the `Xorg -configure' command generates those values automatically (and with quite good precision too)
[05:44] <hbaigu> kenthomson, modern monitor have protection again out of specfication values
[05:44] <Phopsy> Juano: No, it's not there. I seem to remember a shell program that set xorg.conf automatically, do you know what it is?
[05:44] <Azeqss> goddamned, i thought i give it a try, everybody said nothing can go wrong, and if everyone wants to help you, well, apparantly not! i'm so fucked now :s
[05:45] <kenthomson> unop, pbureau blind hbaigu, ok, let me set it at a safe value of 60hz, although X says it can do 75hz. But what i was looking for was manually calculating the frequency i can safely set as in 60hz or 100hz or something from the vertical/horizobntal sync values that i am having
[05:45] <riotkittie> uhhh, Azeqss. whats wrong?
[05:45] <videl> Hi there :)
[05:45] <riotkittie> hi videl
[05:45] <kenthomson> Anynone?
[05:45] <hbaigu> kenthomson, look at the gtf command
[05:45] <Bonezwc> <-----noobie ....hello everyone
[05:45] <Azeqss> i have a GRUB error 21, and already been asking it for an hour and a half now
[05:45] <kenthomson> hbaigu, wwhats that
[05:45] <pirate-king> hmmm
[05:45] <Vuen> hey guys, is anyone here familiar with binchunker?
[05:45] <videl> Im new at IRC so be nice plz :)
[05:46] <riotkittie> Azeqss: ah.
[05:46] <pirate-king> login font is where?
[05:46] <Vuen> i'm having some trouble converting a .bin/.cue to a .iso
[05:46] <hbaigu> kenthomson, your monitor support this,  gtf 1440 900 75
[05:46] <Azeqss> haven't found anything usefull on the internet, well, not what i understand, and now i can't acces my pc but i need it really hard :s
[05:46] <kenthomson> hbaigu, how come you calulated the value of "75" that's what i am interested in
[05:47] <Moniker42> hey, i get an error when trying to install with the livecd http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/5177/screenshotinstallrg3.png
[05:47] <hbaigu> kenthomson, gtf allow to generate custom modelines
[05:47] <unop> Vuen,  you could use file-roller or Xarchiver to extract the contents of the .bin file .. and then create the .iso from the extracted files
[05:47] <riotkittie> Azeqss: have you tried posting at ubuntuforums.org ? someone there might have an answer, if a search doesnt yield anything
[05:47] <kenthomson> hbaigu, you didn't answer my question. HOw come you calculated that 75gz would be a safe valuye?
[05:47] <Ilovemypuppy> damn the update servers are slow
[05:47] <DJ_Sim> hi
[05:47] <kenthomson> hbaigu, i mean given the vetical and horizontal sync rates is there a way one can manually calculate the sync rates that a monitor is capabl;e of doing
[05:48] <pirate-king> anybody know how to change login font?
[05:48] <unop> kenthomson,  it's probably a safe estimate (as most new montitors support that rate at the very least)
[05:48] <pbureau> kenthomson, I would look on google "calculating monitor resultion"
[05:48] <hbaigu> kenthomson, for 75Hz the hsync is 70.50kHz, that is a valid range for you minitor
[05:48] <kenthomson> unop, is there a way to manually calculate it, i really don't want to ruin my monitor
[05:48] <jrib> Azeqss: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/8978 have you seen this?
[05:48] <kenthomson> hbaigu, and what's the vsync
[05:48] <Moniker42> i get an error when trying to install with the livecd http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/5177/screenshotinstallrg3.png
[05:49] <Azeqss> jrib, yes, but i don't understand what i have to do :s
[05:49] <prower> Well, that worked fine :> Oddly enough disabling wobbly windows improves the framerate a good bit
[05:49] <unop> kenthomson,  you can possibly damage the monitor -- if the X server determines that the refresh rate is out of range, it simply wont use it
[05:49] <jrib> Azeqss: did you click on the link in the last post?
[05:49] <videl> Moniker
[05:49] <Azeqss> yes
[05:49] <videl> Moniker42 Change the partition as Primary not Logical
[05:49] <hbaigu> kenthomson, vsync is refrest rate per seconds, it that case  75Hz
[05:49] <videl> Moniker42 Change the "/" partition as Primary not Logical***
[05:49] <Vuen> unop: the problem is the cd contains audio tracks. when binchunker converts it, intead of making one .iso, it makes a .iso and a bunch of .cdr tracks. i can't mount this.
[05:49] <videl> sorry for spamming :)
[05:49] <Moniker42> but i already have 4 primary partitions =(
[05:50] <pbureau> kenthomson, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=calculating+monitor+refresh&spell=1
[05:50] <Vuen> unop: is there a way i can mount this cd with the audio tracks?
[05:50] <videl> select /media/sda1 as Logical
[05:50] <kenthomson> hbaigu, woudl you bet your life on the fact that i can set the resolution at 75hz and wont damage my monitor?, you see i am really nervous and would't want to damage my monitor by trusting just like that
[05:50] <rotero> After uninstalling libtotem plug-ins and installing the mozilla-mplayer plug-ins, do I need to reinstall Firefox?
[05:50] <videl> i think it's your pendrive :)
[05:50] <ryan_> I can't seem to change my Default sound card in "Sound Preferences" any ideas?
[05:50] <MaximLevitsky> Hello , I have one question, as I see ubuntu allows user to execute any command using sudo cmd.
[05:50] <apokryphos> Vuen: you don't mount audio cds; you play them.
[05:50] <Azeqss> jrib, when do i have to press alt+f2 ?
[05:50] <MaximLevitsky> Am I right saying that any program that runs under user's account can execute apps under root using "sudo cmd" , or only user can .
[05:51] <apokryphos> !ask | MaximLevitsky
[05:51] <ubotu> MaximLevitsky: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:51] <MaximLevitsky>  I think that the whole purpose on root's password is that program that user starts  can't gain root's rights without asking him (for example is user starts a virus program, it couldn't damage system much, because of ;ack of rights)
[05:51] <Moniker42> videl, i already have four primary partitions
[05:51] <Vuen> apokryphos: yes, thanks. the problem is the audio tracks are needed by the software on the cd.
[05:51] <unop> Vuen,  errm, i'm not familiar with .binchunker or that approach -- i tend to find that ripping the audio CD works best
[05:51] <apokryphos> MaximLevitsky: sudo requires a pass.
[05:51] <videl> Moniker lets talk on the Priv
[05:51] <MaximLevitsky> I asked  ;-)
[05:51] <Vuen> unop: i don't want the audio tracks to be separate
[05:51] <yomm> kenthomson : check your monitor manufacturer for it's rehresh rate capability , that way u can b sure !
[05:51] <Ilovemypuppy> how do I go about checking out the kernel debs for 6.10?
[05:52] <hbaigu> kenthomson, i dont trush my life to a monitor that i don't know, maybe you just ask the manufacturer
[05:52] <unop> Vuen,  it's definitely possible to rip the CD as one whole long track (although i dont know specifically how it is done)
[05:52] <jrib> Azeqss: well that user did it "After the CD ejects".  But I think you just need to reinstall grub and set it up yourself.  YOu could give that a try
[05:52] <jrib> !grub | Azeqss
[05:52] <ubotu> Azeqss: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:52] <MaximLevitsky> apokryphos  , so only on live cd it doesn't , right ?
[05:52] <apokryphos> MaximLevitsky: correct
[05:53] <unop> MaximLevitsky,  only members in the sudoers file can use sudo -- if that answerrs your question
[05:53] <MaximLevitsky> apokryphos  , thanks very much
[05:53] <ryan_> I can't seem to change my Default sound card in "Sound Preferences" any ideas?

[05:55] <kenthomson> HAPPY UBUNTU-ing

[05:56] <jrib> Azeqss: you need to get into ubuntu first, then it would be applications > accesoories > terminal...
[05:56] <ryan_> I can't seem to change my default sound card in "Sound Preferences" any ideas?  I have both onboard HDA Intel and SBLive!.

[05:56] <factboy818181> is anywhere aware of any Ubuntu programs that convert images to videos?
[05:57] <jrib> factboy818181: mencoder maybe
[05:57] <AKD> Could someone point me to a list of supported CD Burners?
[05:57] <runge> factboy818181, maybe kino? not sure though
[05:57] <Ilovemypuppy> sigh - backports doesnt have it - any chance of me getting a more up to date kernel? I'd like to use the one from 6.10 is possible. Im sure the 2.6.15-server is a stable kernel but boy is it slow.
[05:57] <Byan> AKD: it would be hard to find one not supported
[05:57] <Ilovemypuppy> maybe I ought to get the debian 2.6.18 ones
[05:58] <mafu> Hey, I have a problem. My ubuntu server is connected directly to what is essentially a big LAN in all my city, and gets its IP by dhcp. But now, when I call /etc/init.d/networking restart, it gets two DHCP-offers, one from the right server, and one from some private router in the private range 192.168.2.* , and it picks the latter. Can I somehow convince it to not accept the dhcp offer from the router?
[05:58] <jrib> factboy818181: here's what a quick google search turned up http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/ffmpeg/
[05:58] <factboy818181> jrib: apparently mencoder does it
[05:58] <AKD> Byan, would you suggest using Gnome Baker as the burning software?
[05:59] <Byan> I use w/e...
[06:02] <Brando1> Hello everyone. I'm very new at this. I'm wondering is Ubuntu supports dual monitors, and if so, how do I get them to work?

[06:03] <dimeotane> I thought i heard somone say that evolution isn't the best contact management software on ubuntu....just default....  is this true?
[06:03] <alex777> ubuntu doesn't recognize my sata hdd, on my ICH5 sata controller
[06:03] <alex777> it does recognize the controller, but not the hdd
[06:03] <jrib> dimeotane: "best" depends on the person using the software
[06:03] <Brando1> Thanks Ubotu...
[06:04] <alex777> can anyone help me with that ?
[06:04] <piedoggie> dimeotane:  it could be better but then again I've never seen any contact software tat uas any better
[06:04] <piedoggie> and that is not a complement...
[06:05] <ublender> yo, does anyone know of a PS3 video encoder that works in ubuntu?
[06:05] <piedoggie> alex, sory wish I could help but all my sata drives came right up
[06:05] <MaximLevitsky> I know that only users that are in sudoers can run sudo , but I am afraid of this : "say user starts some bad program {virus,...} , this program  executes itself using "sudo program" , and this way gains root. To prevent this all programs that give root rights must ask for password.
[06:06] <alex777> piedoggie do you also have an intel ICH5 controller ?
[06:06] <piedoggie> alex777 is the sata controler set to raid mode?
[06:06] <Braafield> where are most of the icons stored for applications like DOSbox and BitchX?
[06:06] <alex777> piedoggie in the bios you mean ? no
[06:07] <piedoggie> no I have an lsi megaraid controller
[06:07] <yomm> alex : u don't see your drive listed in /dev ?  did u check dmesg ? also check your boot log to see if your drive got recognized !
[06:07] <alex777> yomm I don't see it in fdisk -l
[06:07] <kev_b> I want to log in to a remote ubuntu box using SSH and upgrade from dapper to edgy. Does anyone know how I can disable local (gdm/gnome) logins safely before I do it? Do I just kill gdm?
[06:07] <alex777> I looked at dmesg and nothing
[06:08] <piedoggie> in your case you should see that the sata controller was recognised but the drive was not
[06:09] <yomm> Alex , check your boot log  ! u can see whether the system recognized the drivce in that log !
[06:09] <alex777> I am looking at the boot log right now

[06:09] <dimeotane> anyone know how I can find out my internal IP using the terminal?
[06:09] <piedoggie> ifconfig
[06:09] <yomm> dimo : ifconfig
[06:09] <dimeotane> k thx
[06:10] <alex777> I don't see anything in /var/log/boot about sata
[06:10] <yomm> Alex : a SATA drive should be listed as sd* , an ATA drive as hd* ...
[06:11] <mzanfardino> How do I change what application is associated with a specific action?  For instance, I'm now using Amarok for my iPod, but when I plug the iPod in Rhythm Box launches...
[06:11] <wimpies> HI all, I am trying to install vmware server and it wants my kernel headers.  uname -a reports 2.6.20-5-generic so I make it point to linux-headers-2.6.20-5-generic but it says the files are not of the proper version ... What can I do about this ?
[06:11] <alex777> I see these 2 lines in dmesg:
[06:11] <alex777> [17179575.036000]  ICH5: chipset revision 2
[06:11] <alex777> [17179575.036000]  ICH5: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
[06:11] <juano_> mzanfardino: i believe you can change that with system ----> preferences / administration ----> media devices
[06:11] <yomm> wimpies u on 64bit ?
[06:12] <juano_> mzanfardino: you can change then the command to launch when an ipod is detected or cdrom , etc
[06:12] <MaximLevitsky> alex777, check dmesg
[06:12] <mzanfardino> wimpies: It's probably looking for just the path to /usr/src/linux-headers...
[06:12] <mweijts> #leave
[06:12] <yomm> Alex : do :  dmesg | grep sd*
[06:12] <alex777> MaximLevitsky look up a few lines, that's what I see in dmesg about the sata controller
[06:13] <alex777> yomm nothing about sd*
[06:13] <yomm> alex : and see if your drive is listed
[06:13] <piedoggie> alex777:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3988/  this is what  I see on boot
[06:13] <prinneh> Can anyone help me with setting up my wireless on a G4 iBook ?
[06:13] <heyyou> hey all
[06:13] <yomm> alex : nothing sd at all ? is that the only SATA drive on your system ?
[06:13] <heyyou> i couldnt find an option to download a "liveCD" version of xubunutu... is there one? or is it built into the normal cd download option
[06:13] <wimpies> yomm yes but I installed the 386 version (seems more packages are available)
[06:14] <nfp|kelnoky> is there a simple way to see what program is using how much internet bandwidth?
[06:14] <cyberyak> heyyou, it't the normal one.
[06:14] <prinneh> heyyou, just get the one there is
[06:14] <wimpies> mzanfardino : i gave it that path but it claims they are not of the running kernel version
[06:14] <prinneh> It's the same one
[06:14] <prinneh> try it out, and press install if you decide you like it
[06:14] <wimpies> Seems there are vmware packages ? Is that the server ?
[06:14] <fatbrain> !feasty
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about feasty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:14] <yomm> wimpies : same here , I tried installing vmware on 64bit with no luck ....Normally if you have the correct headers it should compile ....
[06:14] <fatbrain> hrm, l2spell
[06:14] <alex777> yomm nothing about sd at all, and yes that is the only sata drive, I have 2 ide hdds installed
[06:15] <fatbrain> !feisty

[06:15] <dimeotane> Whats the easiest way to get my evolution info from my old laptop to my new one?  just copy the .evolution folder over?
[06:15] <alex777> piedoggie hm, I see on boot your sata controller says 100% native, while on mine it says "not 100% native"
[06:15] <yomm> alex : your bios sees the drive ?
[06:15] <spua7> dimeotane: yes
[06:15] <dimeotane> spua7: thx
[06:15] <alex777> yomm yes
[06:16] <spua7> dimeotane: next time make your /home on a diff parition
[06:16] <yomm> on what settings is your controller set ?
[06:16] <piedoggie> that is why I asked about raid mode
[06:16] <jshd> my partitions got bumped up a number when i installed winxp... how can i change what ubuntu mounts as root? i changed fstab, but i have the same problem of mounting /root
[06:16] <alex777> and I looked for an option to make the drive seem as PATA but there is none
[06:16] <wimpies> yomm : the vmware packages in depot can they be used to run windows ?
[06:16] <alex777> yomm no special settings, it doesn't support raid
[06:16] <alex777> yomm just the default
[06:16] <alex777> piedoggie yea
[06:17] <piedoggie> sata chips have a cheepy raid which requires a firmware package
[06:17] <yomm> wimpies , try reinstalling your headers , normally with vmware install it finds the headers (on my installs ..) automatically ...
[06:17] <spua7> dimeotane: but I guess you said a new hardware not just a reinstall
[06:17] <[BTF] Chm0d> does anyone here play quake3?
[06:17] <yomm> alex : which are ?
[06:17] <piedoggie> what is the chip model number again?
[06:17] <bamzin> ola. qual comando que retorna a versao do meu kernel?
[06:17] <nfp|kelnoky> is there a simple way to see what program is using how much internet bandwidth?
[06:17] <[BTF] Chm0d> if so did ya get the sound working?
[06:17] <bamzin> ops
[06:18] <[BTF] Chm0d> ive tried everything I have found on the internet with no results
[06:18] <alex777> yomm there are no settings really for sata in my bios
[06:18] <bamzin> hi. what command returns the version of my kernel?
[06:18] <cyberyak> bamzin, uname -a
[06:18] <bamzin> thanks cyberyak
[06:18] <distry> can anyone suggest to me a good dock alternative to the default kde one?
[06:18] <cyberyak> yw.
[06:19] <yomm> Alex : try a live cd or something & see if that recognizes your drive maybe ...
[06:19] <yomm> then you know it is a distro problem or not
[06:19] <piedoggie> alex777:  http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html
[06:19] <jshd> where do i set which partition ubuntu mounts as /root?
[06:19] <alex777> yomm thanks
[06:20] <alex777> piedoggie I'll check it out now
[06:20] <mzanfardino> Okay, I asked this a few minutes ago, but the IRC agent I was using made it difficult to see the response.  I'm looking to change the default application associated with my iPod (and potentiall other hardware like CD).  Any takers?
[06:20] <piedoggie> just google ich5 linux
[06:20] <piedoggie> many good links
[06:20] <yomm> np Alex , good luck !
[06:21] <st00ner> mzanfardino: amaroK
[06:21] <cyberyak> juano_: mzanfardino: i believe you can change that with system ----> preferences / administration ----> media devices
[06:21] <alex777> piedoggie I did
[06:21] <xdee--> nnect
[06:21] <piedoggie> k
[06:22] <mzanfardino> st00ner: I'm using amaroK, but rhythmbox auto loads, that the problem
[06:22] <[BTF] Chm0d> does anyone play quake3????
[06:22] <piedoggie> many junk ref's but a few good ones
[06:22] <st00ner> mzanfardino: i have the same problem. i will look into it now
[06:22] <[BTF] Chm0d> I need help with a no sound problem and I have been on the internet and have tried everything i can find
[06:22] <yomm> Alex : is there a sd* listed in your /dev folder ?
[06:22] <alex777> nope
[06:22] <mzanfardino> cyberyak: I don't appear to have an "administration tab under prefereence.  I'm using GNOME w/ kubuntu and ubuntu-desktops installed.
[06:22] <Ilovemypuppy> wjy are the update servers so ungodly slow?
[06:23] <mzanfardino> st00ner: thank you
[06:23] <piedoggie> it should be created dynamically
[06:23] <cyberyak> mzanfardino, I was just pasting the response from earlier.
[06:23] <piedoggie> when the module loads
[06:24] <mzanfardino> cyberyak: ok, well, unofortunately that doesn't appear to apply to me.
[06:24] <pirate-king> how do you change the font in the login screen
[06:26] <dimeotane> ok so I wanna copy my /.evolution folder over from my old laptop to my new one... I figured I should just SSH into it and do SCP to copy it... "cannot stat- no such file or directory"
[06:26] <piedoggie> alex777: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-006312.htm  old info
[06:26] <gravemind> hey everyone. how do you uninstall a deb package with dpkg?
[06:26] <mzanfardino> st00ner: sorry, can't reply in private chat.  The answer is no, I don't use Rhythmbox, at least not yet.
[06:26] <dimeotane> also $dir doesn't show hidden folders... so what to do next?
[06:26] <st00ner> ok
[06:26] <Virtualism> Hello.
[06:27] <dimeotane> Can't i use scp to copy my /.evolution folder ?
[06:27] <adaptr> why not ?
[06:27] <apokryphos> dimeotane: you can, but you need the -r option if it's a folder
[06:27] <Eruantalon>  Ivtv doesn't work for me. I am getting error when I do "sudo modprobe ivtv". I get the "Unknown symbol video_unregister_device"-types of errors that are mentioned at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy, but reinstalling the kernel as instructed changed nothing. What to do?
[06:27] <wimpies> yomm : nope, just reinstalled linux-headers-`uname -r` and still it claims the files are not good ...
[06:27] <adaptr> dimeotane: use -a, it copies everything
[06:27] <mzanfardino> ok, so while st00ner is kind enough to look into the issue of changing default application preferences, does anyone else have any suggestions for how one might change an associated application?
[06:27] <jamesbrose> How do I force the same version of program for all dependencies?
[06:27] <pbureau> I am Compiling NetworkManager-0.6.4 errors/warnings, I get 3 warnings during the ./configure phase and I wanted to know if these mattered or what could I do to fix these? Pastebin - http://rafb.net/p/1oBjnh21.html
[06:28] <alex777> yomm I am trying that as we speak
[06:28] <adaptr> mzanfardino: right-click on file, properties, tab "open with", set yer preference
[06:28] <[BTF] Chm0d> man its annoying to not even get acknowledge in a channel about a problem whether or not you can help.  At least you can say is sorry I can't help sheesh
[06:28] <yomm> under what name (in /dev ) would i generally find a usb webcam I just plugged in ?
[06:28] <alex777> I mean piedoggie :)
[06:28] <bamzin> when trying to ./configure, i receive this message: 'configure:error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH'. do anyone know what does it mean? (linux-headers is installed)
[06:28] <Rio__> do you guys know how to generalize a rule in firestarter? ie i want to add 192.168.x.x to be allowed
[06:28] <jrib> !compile | bamzin
[06:28] <mzanfardino> wimpies: did you point to the /usr/shr/linux-headers-$(uname -r)?
[06:28] <[BTF] Chm0d> kinda like being put on hold with a service tech on the phone
[06:28] <ubotu> bamzin: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[06:28] <jrib> bamzin: install build-essential
[06:28] <wimpies> yes I did
[06:29] <piedoggie> alex777: woof
[06:29] <adaptr> [BTF] Chm0d: what seems to be the problem ?
[06:29] <mzanfardino> adaptr: you are kidding right?
[06:29] <[BTF] Chm0d> ty adaptr
[06:29] <yomm> bamzin : sudo apt-get install build-essential  ( compilers for your system )
[06:29] <adaptr> mzanfardino: no
[06:29] <rp3> any one up for a printing question?
[06:29] <[BTF] Chm0d> do you play q3?
[06:29] <bamzin> riight. build-essential. forgot this. thanks yomm
[06:29] <yomm> Alex : the live cd thingie ?
[06:29] <piedoggie> alex777 which motherboard?
[06:30] <mzanfardino> adaptr: what file should I right click on for my ipod?
[06:30] <yomm> wimzies , i'm out of ideas then ...
[06:30] <adaptr> mzanfardino: I have no idea, whatever they are called on disk, I supopse
[06:30] <jrib> mzanfardino: system > preferences > removable drives and media
[06:30] <[BTF] Chm0d> i just have no sound game works fine.  I have tried everything i can find on the internet about no sound for quake3
[06:30] <[BTF] Chm0d> ipod work on ubuntu?
[06:30] <[BTF] Chm0d> O
[06:30] <mzanfardino> jrib: thank you!  That's what I was looking for!
[06:30] <adaptr> mzanfardino: but I think you're looking for auto-starting an application on ipod insertion - that has nothingto do with file association
[06:30] <st00ner> thanks also :P
[06:31] <mzanfardino> [BTF] Chm0d: Yes, I have a 1g nano and I use aramoK to keep it in sync...
[06:31] <riotkittie> yeah but unlike tech support on the phone ... 1 - nobody's being paid and 2 - you arent in a  1 on 1 situation where you can expect attention to be focused on you immediately :P
[06:31] <[BTF] Chm0d> i just bought the 4g
[06:31] <harm> howto remove the CDROM from repo list in a terminal?
[06:31] <rp3> ok have a printer tied to a SUSE machine running cups, it works fine from that machine, and a windows machine can print to it, but I can't seem to get ubuntu to print to it?
[06:31] <mzanfardino> adaptr: you are correct, it had nothing to do with what I was trying to achieve, but thank you.  jrib answered my question
[06:31] <alex777> piedoggie d865glc I think
[06:31] <rp3> when I let ubuntu find printers it finds it but I can't print to it?
[06:31] <[BTF] Chm0d> adaptr: do you play quake3?
[06:31] <yomm> BTF  I have same problems : no sound on Quake III , distorted sound on Doom III ... i googled thesh*t out of it also , no luck .. let me know if you fix it :)
[06:32] <wimpies> yomm : it seems there is a patch for the install script.  it breaks with kernels > 19
[06:32] <[BTF] Chm0d> rp3 what error do you get any?
[06:32] <[BTF] Chm0d> can you at least setup the printer in ubuntu?
[06:32] <rp3> nothing, it just doesn't do anything?
[06:32] <adaptr> [BTF] Chm0d: not for a longtime now
[06:32] <yomm> wimpies : i c ! I'm on  2.6.17-10-generic ...
[06:32] <pbureau> rp3, networked ?
[06:32] <rp3> yes, i let ubuntu detect printers and finds it fine
[06:32] <rp3> yes
[06:32] <wimpies> Ah I am on 6.20
[06:32] <harm> howto remove the CDROM from repo list in a terminal?
[06:32] <[BTF] Chm0d> adaptr: when you did did you have issues with sound?  I have both a linux retal and windblows retail
[06:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> is the printer set as the default? rp3
[06:33] <rp3> yes
[06:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmmm
[06:33] <rp3> when i right click to do 'properties' for example it just hangs
[06:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> and cups is runnin?
[06:33] <rp3> something with smb not turned onmaybe?
[06:33] <rp3> do i have to have cups running on the client ?
[06:34] <gravemind> !dpkg
[06:34] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[06:34] <rp3> thoguth just hte server needed that
[06:34] <[BTF] Chm0d> i would think if that  was the case you would have never seen the printer
[06:34] <CokeNCode> ok guys, i am freaked out here
[06:34] <ska-> server irc.freenode.net
[06:34] <rp3> agree
[06:34] <riotkittie> ska-: err. arent you on freenode?
[06:34] <Acree> a jednak ruszy Linu

[06:34] <CokeNCode> what the heck is afback up ?
[06:34] <yomm> rp3 , i think you have to have cups running .. not 100% sure though
[06:35] <piedoggie> alex777 looks like that chipset was trouble in the 2.4/early 2.6 days
[06:35] <yomm> on client ..
[06:35] <rp3> yes, strange, has to be something...
[06:35] <CokeNCode> should i be formatting right about now ?
[06:35] <piedoggie> but should be bettter now
[06:35] <rp3> ok will try that thanks...
[06:35] <riotkittie> yea,  with my printer, i had to start cups before i could print
[06:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> have you stopped smb and restarted?
[06:35] <riotkittie>  the printer is attached to an xp box
[06:35] <yomm> rp3 on the server side the printer is shared with smb ?
[06:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> or reboot see what happens
[06:35] <rp3> i think so, via cups?
[06:35] <rp3> yes
[06:35] <pbureau> rp3 tried configurations in the an open browser http://localhost:631/

[06:36] <kev_b> I want to log in to a remote ubuntu box using SSH and upgrade from dapper to edgy. Does anyone know how I can disable local (gdm/gnome) logins safely before I do it? Do I just kill gdm?
[06:36] <piedoggie> alex777 waht stat is your system in?  trying to install or already running?
[06:36] <[BTF] Chm0d> i think you can go to console and type sudo smb stop and sudo smb start
[06:36] <rjm1982> Coke...I'm normally not the kind to rip on people for not even trying to answer their own question, but come on, the first link on google when looking for 'afbackup' is the project page on sourceforge for that program, you didnt even try!
[06:36] <znerk__> What's the best page for wallpapers?
[06:36] <piedoggie> mastery82:  what kind of help?
[06:36] <yomm> kev : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[06:36] <piedoggie> alex777: installing new drive?
[06:37] <alex777> yep
[06:37] <mastery82> when i try to boot i get this vms finding bad blocks

[06:37] <dimeotane> ahh.. still stuck.. how do I copy  using scp  /home/toshiba/.evolution to /home/dell/.evolution
[06:37] <mastery82> and it takes 2 hours to login
[06:37] <[BTF] Chm0d> make sure users can print to it ;)
[06:37] <piedoggie> bth drives on same controller?
[06:37] <mzanfardino> jrib: brilliant!  Thank you very much!  Now if I can only get it to connect automatically! :)
[06:37] <pbureau> rp3 is this printer connected to this pc or another or its got its own ip ?
[06:37] <mastery82> i cannot bypass this procedure
[06:37] <rp3> another pc
[06:37] <nfp|kelnoky> is there a simple way to see what program is using how much internet bandwidth?
[06:37] <pbureau> rp3, xp box ?
[06:37] <alex777> piedoggie I have 2 ide on ide1
[06:37] <mastery82> i have a windows partition which i want to delete
[06:37] <alex777> and the sata
[06:37] <rp3> SUse linux
[06:37] <riotkittie> CokeNCode: errr didja google it?  it is ringing bells with me but i cant put a finger on what it is
[06:37] <piedoggie> mastery82: you shouldn't (bypass)
[06:38] <riotkittie> and im not in X at the moment. :/
[06:38] <[BTF] Chm0d> dimeotane: sudo cp /home/toshiba/.evolution /home/dell/.evolution
[06:38] <kev_b> yomm: k, thx, i'll go try that now
[06:38] <piedoggie> mastery82: fix the sourse of the problem.  either remap badblocks or replace the drive
[06:38] <bamzin> ok. now i try ./config and he says 'The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist. please install the package with full kernel souces for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources..'. what does it mean? :/
[06:38] <dimeotane> oh gotta use sudo?
[06:38] <mastery82> its a laptop
[06:38] <pbureau> rp3, what kind of printer and did you start cupsd on the suse box ?
[06:38] <[BTF] Chm0d> i believe so yes
[06:39] <rjm1982> riot: re: coke, no, he didnt, the first link on google is the project's page on source forge
[06:39] <riotkittie> rjm1982: heh.
[06:39] <mastery82> and it used to work until i downloaded ntfs-config
[06:39] <[BTF] Chm0d> shouldn't have to in your own home directory but
[06:39] <mastery82> afterwards the problems begun
[06:39] <piedoggie> mastery82 if you are not using lvm and are using ext3,  go buy spinrite
[06:39] <rp3> yes cups is runnin on the suse box and works on the network great, XP can print to it, the suse can print to it all is good, but ubuntu can't for some reason?
[06:39] <bersace> Hi all
[06:39] <bersace> with the arrival of gnome-control-center
[06:39] <bersace> the new one
[06:39] <piedoggie> it works wonders and has saved my bacon many times
[06:40] <bersace> does it worth having all system tools in the control center ?
[06:40] <rp3> ok in cups on the local machine when I go to printers it sees it, nut thats it?  I just clicked on allowed users and it's hung..
[06:40] <bersace> shouldn't system tools menu be rehabilitated ?
[06:40] <[BTF] Chm0d> rp3: can you find the printer on the ubuntu box by using konqueror?
[06:40] <bersace> Should i open a spec of a bug about that ?
[06:40] <ReTyPe> how do i get latest amarok ??
[06:40] <CokeNCode> riotkittie, it's a back up program, that backs up files to a central server
[06:40] <mastery82> ok thanks i ll see what i can do
[06:40] <CokeNCode> i'm thinking someone might be hacking me
[06:40] <pbureau> ReTyPe, apt-get amarok ?
[06:41] <CokeNCode> and accessing all my files
[06:41] <rp3> pretty sure let me try
[06:41] <CokeNCode> altho, i hate to think that's the case
[06:41] <mastery82> can i format the ntfs partition to a linux partition through ubuntu
[06:41] <ReTyPe> pbureau: i only get 1.4.3, and there's allready an 1.4.5
[06:41] <CokeNCode> does anyone else have this running ?
[06:41] <piedoggie> alex777 I don't remember what happens with parallel and serial ATA at the same time
[06:41] <riotkittie> brb
[06:41] <dimeotane> what flag with $ dir shows  hidden folders?
[06:41] <mastery82> ?
[06:41] <piedoggie> it should be okay and I believe the parallel takes priority
[06:41] <Nephron> you can format the ntfs partion, but will lose ur data
[06:41] <pbureau> ReTyPe, check their web site for a .deb file then

[06:41] <piedoggie> parallel and serial are both on your motherboard?
[06:41] <dimeotane> duh   -a
[06:41] <[BTF] Chm0d> well im goin to work on trying to find out why i dont have sound for my quake3 again for the next few hours :(\
[06:41] <r_rehashed> hi everybody
[06:42] <Nephron> hi doctor nick
[06:42] <__doc__> I've got a problem with xorg.conf and twin view. In fullscreen 3d mode the picture is centered between my two monitors (a tad hard to aim that way)
[06:42] <rjm1982> CokeNCode: it may have been installed as a dependency to something
[06:42] <r_rehashed> when is x.org's next release scheduled?
[06:42] <rjm1982> CokeNCode: Its highly unlikely that you're being messed with
[06:42] <CokeNCode> rjm1982, ok ... thanks.
[06:42] <CokeNCode> i'm a bit paranoid
[06:43] <CokeNCode> i have some very mischievous "friends"
[06:43] <CokeNCode> well, former friends
[06:43] <CokeNCode> hmmm, it is installed
[06:43] <aoupi> CokeNCode: you could the service
[06:43] <rp3> where the hell is konquer?  i hate gnome
[06:43] <aoupi> CokeNCode: you could kill teh service*
[06:43] <CokeNCode> ok
[06:43] <CokeNCode> i wonder if uninstalling it will break anything
[06:43] <pbureau> rp3 places network servers
[06:43] <CokeNCode> does anyone else have it installed ?
[06:44] <juano__> rp3: konqueror is for KDE platform, nautilus is for gnome
[06:44] <CokeNCode> before i dump it
[06:44] <CokeNCode> 'afbackup'
[06:44] <aoupi> CokeNCode: try to uninstall it, if it says it will remove tons of other packages it might break something, otherwise it should be safe to remove it
[06:44] <rp3> ok asking for pw and it doesn't like what i am giving it hmmm
[06:44] <rjm1982> CokeNCode: just check to see (via properties in synaptic) if anything depends on it before you remove it
[06:44] <juano__> rp3: you trying to share files ?
[06:44] <OneOfTheMany> can someone tell me what the most popular IRC clients are on linux

[06:45] <OneOfTheMany> thanks :D
[06:45] <hbaigu> jojoman02, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:45] <juano__> rp3: open up /etc/samba/smb.conf in suse box and check the printer settings
[06:45] <rp3> what do you mean how is it, it works for that local machine and an xp machine can print to this printer over the networks
[06:46] <homerj> I've searched the forums and haven't found anything....anyone get a the scrolling to work in an Apple bluetooth Mighty Mouse?(difficulty: Ubuntu PPC)..yes, it works now, just no scrolling
[06:46] <rjm1982> I use it because its the same in windows and linux...and it just runs through firefox, which is always onen anyways :)
[06:46] <cstextiles> Synaptic Package Manager does not have sun-java-jre package whereas Add/Remove has Sun Java Does bot the Package management takes the data from the common data?
[06:46] <jojoman02> hbaigu: gracias, i heard they are gonna include this info in gnome-system-manager in next version of gnome, know anything about that?
[06:46] <__doc__> iiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkklllljjjjjjj, ohdarn, this is not vim
[06:46] <hbaigu> jojoman02, nope
[06:46] <Jowi> jojoman02, cat /proc/cpuinfo will list the cores for you at least.
[06:46] <juano__> rp3: maybe you need to tell ubuntu box in smb.conf where printer is, in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[06:46] <nothlit> jojoman02: lshw -C cpu
[06:47] <rp3> ok let me check

[06:47] <yomm> any hints on how to install my ms webcam on edgy ?
[06:48] <yomm> dmesg recognizes a new USB device ...
[06:48] <rp3> hmm, in the priting section should I uncomment ;   printing = cups
[06:48] <joselj> hi everyone
[06:48] <pbureau> yomm,  what does lsusb say ?
[06:48] <rp3> hmm
[06:48] <blankfaze_> in GNOME, is there a way to change the font/colour of JUST the clock??
[06:48] <CokeNCode> thanks for the help guys
[06:49] <yomm> pbureau it shows a bunch  of devices
[06:49] <CokeNCode> Depends: <----- that means that the package depends on these files right
[06:49] <yomm> also a Microsoft device so im guessing its recognized ...
[06:49] <CokeNCode>  and not the other way around
[06:49] <ndee> hello there, I'm using gnome-network-manager to access the AP at my gf's place, her WPA password is just 7 letters and I cannot press connect with only 7 letters. What can I do?
[06:49] <aoupi> CokeNCode: yes afbackup depends on that
[06:49] <joselj> i want to change the user name of my account, but i am afraid this can affect or broke some paths on my system... is this procedure secure?
[06:49] <yomm> pbureau : also a Microsoft device so im guessing its recognized ...
[06:49] <Bost> Hi all
[06:50] <__doc__> man those glest developers are geniouses, put #!/bin/sh^M as a shebang into their autoconf.sh
[06:50] <pbureau> yomm, okay then load aMSN and see if it works
[06:50] <aoupi> CokeNCode: if you think it might be your old friends you should change your password (and remove their accounts if they have any)
[06:50] <juano__> rp3: mm i dont think thats it
[06:50] <yomm> pbureau ,i'll give that a go , is kopete ok as well
[06:50] <yomm> ?
[06:50] <pbureau> ndee, you have wpa_supplicant installed ?
[06:51] <CokeNCode> aoupi, they don't have any accounts, but they're always trying to hack me
[06:51] <ndee> pbureau: yes.
[06:51] <juano__> rp3: im thinking maybe in printers section in ubuntu box give a remote path there
[06:51] <rp3> nor do I, stumped, when I let ubuntu find it it does, or when I look in cups localy it sees the printer, but it doesn't work?
[06:51] <joselj> somebody please
[06:52] <juano__> rp3: System preferences ---> printers ?
[06:52] <juano__> rp3: System administration could be too, see if you can search it up from there, the remote one
[06:53] <blankfaze_> or are there some other clock plugins for gnome panels that are more customisable?
[06:53] <rp3> when i do system admin - printing its listed there
[06:53] <Bost> can I ask you what program to use for video screen capture???
[06:53] <pbureau> gxine
[06:53] <homerj> and here's another question, how do I get my G4 running at full speed on an iBook?
[06:53] <homerj> it's a 1.33Ghz, now running at 666mhz
[06:53] <rp3> with a check for the default, but if I try to do anything with it, it hangs?
[06:53] <homerj> it's in some power saving mode
[06:53] <juano__> rp3: is there an option to select it as default, or something _
[06:54] <rp3> I can delete it and it comes back, as it should, and it is set to default.
[06:54] <rp3> bizzare
[06:54] <juano__> rp3: how are user permissions on the printer _
[06:54] <rp3> have to force quit when I do properties
[06:54] <znerk__> What was the program to access zen V plus again?
[06:54] <juano__> rp3: form SUse box ?
[06:54] <juano__> rp3: from* sorry
[06:55] <rp3> this user on this box should be valid
[06:55] <rp3> under cups it is "set allowed users" that took me a while to figure out to get the XP box to print :)
[06:55] <juano__> rp3: when you navigate to suse box, can you freely see the printer ? or does it ask for password ?
[06:56] <OneOfTheMany1> j #ubuntu
[06:56] <juano__> rp3: yeah.. thats good, if XP machine can print then it should be a user issue, maybe add the user again to smbpasswd
[06:56] <rp3> dunno, let me try
[06:56] <znerk__> What was the program to access zen V plus again?
[06:56] <homerj`> I have two questions, anyone get a bt Apple Mighty Mouse to use the scrolling(it works otherwise) and how do I get the G4 cpu out of the powersaving mode of only 1/2 speed ?
[06:56] <znerk__> Gnome something?
[06:57] <juano__> homerj`: you got 3 button mouse, only 2 buttons work ?
[06:57] <sith-lord> hey
[06:57] <znerk__> What was the program to access zen V plus again?
[06:57] <sith-lord> secret
[06:57] <homerj`> juanchito2006, no, three buttons work
[06:57] <Bost> pbureau: you mean gxine to make video capture? Are you sure gxine is capable of it?
[06:57] <kurt_> hello?
[06:58] <homerj`> it's the scroll ball
[06:58] <pbureau> Bost, you said screen capture of video, yes it does that
[06:58] <homerj`> it doesn't even do up/down
[06:58] <juano__> homerj`: im juano__ :-)
[06:58] <kurt_> aha someone is home
[06:58] <homerj`> juano__, tab complete.....
[06:58] <agliv5> Greetings :) I'm running from a LiveCD and wanted to view a pdf that I had downloaded.  well it was taking so long to open that I clicked on the link more than once and now I've got a whole bunch of windows open and nothing is responding... is there a keyboard shortcut to terminate the active window?
[06:58] <XiCillin> whats a way you can see if you are running xgl?
[06:58] <juano__> homerj`: :-), hmm, it must be an xorg.conf issue
[06:58] <juano__> homerj`: just a sec
[06:59] <homerj`> this gnome applet will show my cpu frequence too.....but won't let me change it
[06:59] <fatbrain> How can I change the home-dir path for my user?
[06:59] <homerj`> it knows it's only 1/2
[07:00] <Webkilix> I'm trying Unbuntu Live CD for the fist time and I like it :-)
[07:00] <juano__> homerj`: if you feel only 2 buttons are working you should try this option in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:     Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
[07:00] <juano__> homerj`: Option              "Emulate3Buttons"             "true"
[07:00] <christopherl> Is there any notifier out there, that pops up an alert in Gnome, when new mail is received to your webmail accoun?t
[07:00] <OneOfTheMany> Webkilix - glad you like it :)
[07:00] <juano__> homerj`: that would be in your mouse section
[07:01] <juano__> rp3: hows that printer going ?
[07:01] <OneOfTheMany> Christopherl - which webmail provider?
[07:01] <kurt_> use evolution i suppose christopherl
[07:01] <christopherl> Runbox
[07:01] <juano__> rp3: brb
[07:01] <christopherl> I only want a notifier, not extra stuff
[07:02] <rp3> it's not
[07:03] <OneOfTheMany> christopherl - something like this perhaps.... http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify ?
[07:03] <piedoggie> '
[07:03] <Bost> pbureau: Are you sure about it??? Im looking  at http://xinehq.de/ but I cannot find anything concerning video capturing :(
[07:04] <variant> Bost: apt-get install istanbull
[07:04] <variant> Bost: thats what i use
[07:04] <variant> Bost: good for recording beryl :)
[07:04] <kurt_> looks nice
[07:05] <kurt_> the mail notify I mean
[07:05] <OneOfTheMany> :)
[07:05] <cablesm102> When I push the volume up key combination, it goes up by one notch. However, when I push the volume down key, it goes down 3 notches. Is this a bug, and if so, where should I report it?
[07:06] <christopherl> OneOfTheMany:thanks, I going to check it out
[07:06] <variant> Bost: did you get that?
[07:06] <Crescendo> How can I set my caps lock key in Ubuntu to invert the case of something I hilight?
[07:06] <ubuntu_> hello
[07:06] <OneOfTheMany> yw
[07:06] <ubuntu_> Witam wszystkich
[07:06] <taliesin_> I'm trying to install audio codecs for Totem from the add/remove apps menu but when I apply the changes this is the message I get:  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  When I run dpkg in the terminal I get this message:  dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege  Could some one help me configure dpkg so I can install these audio and video codecs?
[07:06] <cablesm102> taliesin, I can help
[07:06] <cablesm102> taliesin, do you know how to open a terminal?
[07:07] <ubuntu_> Sa tutaj Polacy?
[07:07] <flavia> hi, what's a pdf reader that has a firefox plugin (not acrobat reader)?
[07:07] <variant> taliesin_: run the command it tells you to with "sudo" in front
[07:07] <taliesin_> yes
[07:07] <kurt_> taliesin_, ... why does that loo familiar?
[07:07] <OneOfTheMany> package name in synaptic/apt is "mail-notification"
[07:07] <homerj_> juano__, I'll have to look into it
[07:07] <homerj_> xev isn't even picking up the events
[07:07] <kurt_> david gemmell fan?
[07:07] <cmt^^> what's a good small program for getting hexa-based color codes? like "#ffffff" for example
[07:07] <cablesm102> taliesin_, you need to close add/remove apps, open a terminal, and run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[07:07] <Bost> variant: I have a beryl... I could try it, sure. But I see in the Synaptics pack. mngt that there is a "dvr" supported (istanbull seems to be not)
[07:08] <dimeotane> ok so i copied .evolution from one laptop to another. but evolution still is asking for my setup info...
[07:08] <eeanm> what repo is NetworkManager is from?
[07:08] <variant> Bost: you want to record the output of your screen?
[07:08] <Eons> hi
[07:08] <kurt_> speaking of codecs
[07:08] <variant> Bost: a "screencast"
[07:08] <kurt_> totem doesnt play any movies at all for me
[07:08] <kurt_> so I am using wine
[07:09] <kurt_> but totem is the default player is there a way to change that?
[07:09] <kurt_> not wine i meant xine
[07:09] <variant> kurt_: install vlc, it supports all codecs
[07:09] <yomm> pbureau : neither aMSN nor Kopete recognizes my webcam .... out of luck ???
[07:09] <variant> kurt_: ah, dunno about hta. sorry
[07:09] <kurt_> vlc?
[07:09] <cablesm102> kurt_, it's a player that supports everything.
[07:09] <Bost> variant: yea, something like that: a movie made of continuous actions in a particular window
[07:09] <dimeotane> so I guess copying .evolution from laptop to another isn't the best way to get my address book setup
[07:09] <variant> yomm: it's not about those programs recognising them but more about whether ubuntu does or not
[07:09] <Eons> there is a easy way to have gdm load 2 greeters at boot?
[07:09] <OneOfTheMany> Kurt_ have you tried easyubuntu?
[07:10] <variant> Bost: then that is why you want istanbull
[07:10] <Eons> i need to login with 2 users
[07:10] <cablesm102> OneOfTheMany, Kurt_, EasyUbuntu is a bad idea
[07:10] <cablesm102> kurt_, however, there's a way to install tons of codecs for Totem, I'll send you a link to the ubuntu wiki page
[07:10] <OneOfTheMany> oh...
[07:10] <Eons> and "change users" doesnot work
[07:10] <OneOfTheMany> why is easyubuntu bad?
[07:10] <Eons> (switch user)
[07:10] <yomm> variant : I see a new usb device in Dmesg , and lsusb also confirms a new usb device ...
[07:10] <cablesm102> OneOfTheMany, it and other unofficial app installers tend to break stuff when you want to upgrade to the next release
[07:10] <variant> yomm: do you have a /dev/video or /dev/video0 ?
[07:11] <yomm> variant : under what name would a usb webcam show up in /dev ?
[07:11] <OneOfTheMany> ok. thank you
[07:11] <kurt_> i tried easyubuntu before
[07:11] <joselj> hi again, i need to add a mime type (.jnlp) but i don't know how to do this
[07:11] <kurt_> it didnt really work for me
[07:11] <yomm> variant : my tuner tv card = video & video0
[07:11] <Bost> variant: I see... but do you use the istanbull because it's the best or the dvr is too lame?
[07:11] <OneOfTheMany> i use vlc - works nicely for me
[07:11] <rEsPeCT> hallo
[07:11] <cablesm102> kurt_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[07:11] <rEsPeCT> was gehst du?
[07:11] <kurt_> i just followed the directions for installing libdvdcss
[07:11] <variant> Bost: because i haven't tried dvr
[07:11] <Crescendo> How can I set my caps lock key in Ubuntu to invert the case of something I hilight?
[07:11] <variant> yomm: ok, video1 ?
[07:11] <kurt_> and libdvdread3 and w32codecs-all
[07:11] <blankfaze_> why is eayubuntu a bad idea?
[07:12] <kurt_> works fine for xine but totem is the default
[07:12] <variant> yomm: usbmodules
[07:12] <blankfaze_> easyubuntu*
[07:12] <cablesm102> !easyubuntu | blankfaze
[07:12] <ubotu> blankfaze: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[07:12] <yomm> variant : no video1
[07:12] <Bost> variant: :) OKi so now Im gonna try the dvr ... watchaut :)
[07:12] <taliesin_>  Done now I'm waiting for this process to finish: Setting up gnome-netstatus-applet (2.12.0-5ubuntu7) ...
[07:12] <kurt_> usbmodules ????
[07:12] <variant> kurt_: run that command
[07:12] <kurt_> where? how ???
[07:12] <variant> kurt_: as root
[07:12] <variant> kurt_: ie, with sudo
[07:12] <cablesm102> kurt_, do you know how to get to a terminal?
[07:12] <variant> cablesm102: yes he does as he has allready run several commands
[07:13] <kurt_> yes
[07:13] <cablesm102> blankfaze, EasyUbuntu and Automatix tend to break ugrade to later versions
[07:13] <cablesm102> kurt_, did you look at the link I sent you?
[07:13] <yomm> checking usbmodules ...
[07:14] <variant> yomm: it will ask you to run the command with the output from lsusb
[07:14] <kurt_> yes thats the instructions I followed to install the codecs and all that
[07:14] <hivemind> Hey, does anyone know where apt-get stores the .deb files before it installs them?
[07:14] <kurt_> but totem still is a bum
[07:14] <rp3> sorry back, had a 'friend' over last night that hosed my setting on the server so I had fix that to get the printer working again!!!
[07:14] <hivemind> I need to remove them manually.
[07:14] <crimsun> hivemind: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[07:14] <hivemind> Thanks!
[07:14] <kurt_> i'd like to make xine my default player
[07:15] <kurt_> on the system menu i see peferred applications
[07:15] <cablesm102> kurt_, right click on a media file, go to OpenWith, choose Xine, and that should make anything of that format open with it.
[07:15] <kurt_> it adds xine to the list but it doesnt makje xine the default
[07:16] <ryanakca> Why doesn't my server install boot? I've installed it twice, once using the LAMP option, the other one the custom option.... It installs successfully... reboots... gets to grub... gets to the "savedefault         boot" part, and then reboots... like an infinite loops
[07:16] <kurt_> i am pondering removing totem
[07:16] <ryanakca> how do I fix it?
[07:16] <juano__> rp3: did you try adding the user to smbpasswd in suse box ?
[07:16] <yomm> variant : for the usbcam I get the following out of usb modules : snd-usb-audio & usbcore after doing :  usbmodules --device /proc/bus/usb/005/003 )
[07:16] <variant> kurt_: there is no simple way to set the default player at the momment on ubuntu. you have to select each type of video and set that individually
[07:16] <cablesm102> kurt_, look above and see my instructions

[07:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about virtualization - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:16] <kurt_> oh well i'll do just that then
[07:16] <rp3> how does that work, I ran it and it just asks for a pw?
[07:16] <geek_> I've got a question
[07:16] <cablesm102> !ask | geek
[07:16] <ubotu> geek: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:16] <variant> yomm: do lsmod | grep snd-usb-audio to see if they are loaded
[07:17] <juano__> rp3: no, you should do smbpasswd -U <username>
[07:17] <juano__> rp3: that should ask for a password
[07:17] <yomm> variant : lol youre troubleshooting the whole Ubuntu community :)
[07:17] <rp3> ahh, and add the user name of this box right
[07:17] <hivemind> That was strange, did anyone else have a problem with libwxgtk and libwxbase?
[07:17] <variant> yomm: what?
[07:17] <juano__> rp3: then remotely you should use that user and pass
[07:17] <juano__> rp3: to access samba shares
[07:17] <kurt_> ok well i am goign to play around with this some more
[07:17] <kurt_> later on

[07:18] <yomm> ok
[07:18] <airjump> hello, why are all people in this irc and not at the jabber ubuntu@conference.jabber.org?

[07:18] <Valmarko> thanks
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> airjump: I don't even know what that address is.
[07:18] <djp> anybody wants to help me with a nice saturday night quiz to get an unknown binary run? :-D
[07:19] <variant> Valmarko: a better alternative is to change sources.list and run teh graphical update manager.. it will tell you a distrobution upgrade is available
[07:19] <tonyyarusso> airjump: This is the official support channel.
[07:19] <stopmicrosoft> hallo
[07:19] <stopmicrosoft> hallo
[07:19] <djp> hi
[07:19] <variant> Valmarko: be aware that it may break your system and you may loose files if you upgrade to feisty
[07:19] <stopmicrosoft> hallo
[07:19] <riotkittie> because irc rocks the casbah
[07:19] <juano__> rp3: you should make a new user in passwd in local suse machine, lets say adduser newuser , then put pass, etc, then do a smbpasswd -U <newuser> then give a pass for samba sharing
[07:19] <Valmarko> ok, thanks again variant

[07:25] <juano__> pirate-king: is this only with fonts ? or is it the entire resolution ?
[07:25] <rdz> hello everyone. i'd like to cook my own rt-kernel based on the ubuntu dapper kernel. is there a way, how i could com around needing to recompile/reinstall all kernel-modules?
[07:25] <pirate-king> font size
[07:25] <pirate-king> resolution should be ok
[07:25] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know why this would'nt be working? smbmount //myserver/myshare ~/mnt
[07:26] <rp3> i will have to play with smbpasswd since i can't make it work?
[07:26] <pirate-king> but I just installed new drivers for nvidia
[07:26] <rp3> thanks for the help though, I will try again later, I have to get some stuff done around the house, bb on later...
[07:26] <juano__> pirate-king: mm,, yes, try changing the login screen and see if it happens with other
[07:26] <pirate-king> ok
[07:26] <juano__> rp3: sure, smbpasswd -U as root should work
[07:26] <spasticteapot> I'll wait...
[07:27] <spasticteapot> smbpsswd -u is how you log in as root?
[07:27] <spasticteapot> juano__: Is that correct?
[07:27] <rdz> spasticteapot, i usually use a line like: '//colossus/durchzug     /mnt/durchzug   smbfs   users,username=guest,password=bar,uid=1000,gid=1000'
[07:27] <juano__> rp3: no
[07:27] <juano__> spasticteapot: no
[07:27] <rp3> oh yea it works, but it asks for 2 passwords and none work
[07:27] <spasticteapot> rda:
[07:27] <rdz> spasticteapot, but don't ask me why. it just works here.
[07:27] <rp3> what pw's is smbpasswd looking for?
[07:27] <juano__> spasticteapot: su then password for root
[07:27] <spasticteapot> rdz: I'm somewhat confused.
[07:27] <juano__> spasticteapot: or sudo
[07:27] <usr13> How dows one find a mounted smb share via the command line?
[07:27] <spasticteapot> rdz: How do I set a root password?
[07:28] <juano__> !root | spasticteapot
[07:28] <ubotu> spasticteapot: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:28] <spasticteapot> I don't want to use sudo - I want to use Root.
[07:28] <unop> spasticteapot,  sudo passwd root
[07:28] <spasticteapot> Thanks!
[07:28] <rdz> spasticteapot, sorry, i didn't want to confuse you. it works here without being root
[07:28] <usr13> spasticteapot: sudo pass....
[07:28] <usr13> rdz beat me.
[07:28] <slowfast> How do you reset gdm as the display manager so that ubuntu boots into gdm rather than kde?
[07:28] <CokeNCode> spasticteapot, it's 'root' ... no capital 'R'
[07:28] <juano__> rp3: it should work
[07:28] <rdz> spasticteapot, but you need to be root to edit the /etc/fstab-file
[07:28] <Jowi> spasticteapot, that will enable the root account though
[07:28] <juano__> rp3: make sure retyping passwords right
[07:28] <spasticteapot> Thanks!
[07:28] <spasticteapot> Wait...confused now...
[07:29] <spasticteapot> First, I sudo passwd root to entern my root password.
[07:29] <rp3> no luck, oh well thats what makes this fun, just got my linkstation working last night so, it's all good.  talk to you guys later.
[07:29] <unop> spasticteapot,  thats right
[07:29] <CokeNCode> why not just type 'su'
[07:29] <OneOfTheMany> you can change it on the logon screen | slowfast
[07:29] <spasticteapot> Ah.
[07:29] <juano__> rp3: ok, good luck!
[07:29] <xtknight> how do I cross compile for a 32bit architecture when on a 64-bit host?
[07:29] <rp3> juano yes but what pw is it looking for, or is this setting it?
[07:29] <CokeNCode> then enter in your root password
[07:29] <usr13> How dows one find a mounted a samab share via the command line?
[07:29] <spasticteapot> CokeNCode: Because it's flipping annoying to Sudo everything!
[07:29] <juano__> rp3: this sets a remote password for username
[07:29] <unop> spasticteapot,  errm, sudo asks for your password -- the password passwd seeks is the new password for root
[07:30] <juano__> rp3: for given username
[07:30] <CokeNCode> spasticteapot, so you want to ... log in to x as root ? is that what you're saying ?
[07:30] <unop> spasticteapot,  you can always enter a root shell using  sudo -s
[07:30] <usr13> smb://other/computer/files ....???
[07:30] <spasticteapot> CokenCode: Yes. But only for the purpose of setting up Samba.
[07:30] <spasticteapot> I'm going to turn off X-windows after I get it set up.
[07:30] <juano__> rp3: then from remote machine enter at pass prompt that username and password
[07:30] <CokeNCode> oh ok
[07:30] <usr13> I see the way it comes up in Nautilus, but don't know where to go to via the command line to find it....???
[07:30] <spasticteapot> Oh...duh.
[07:30] <juano__> rp3: try smbd restart to save changes
[07:30] <pirate-king> no didn't work juano_
[07:30] <rp3> yea no workie, so will try later.  no worrie
[07:31] <spasticteapot> We need a #ubuntu-networking.
[07:31] <juano__> pirate-king: what happened when you changed login screen ? big fonts also ?
[07:31] <pirate-king> yeah
[07:31] <dimeotane> any suggestions how I can get my evolution stuff off my old laptop and onto this new one, without having to retype it all in?
[07:31] <boknoy> thanks
[07:31] <rdz> spasticteapot, did you already install smbfs?
[07:31] <spasticteapot> rdz: Yes.
[07:31] <unop> dimeotane,  just copy over your ~/.evolution folder
[07:31] <usr13> spasticteapot: overcrowdedubuntuchannels?  :)
[07:31] <juano__> pirate-king: lets see if the drivers installed correctly
[07:31] <spasticteapot> usr13: Yup.
[07:32] <juano__> pirate-king: type glxgears in terminal
[07:32] <pirate-king> ok
[07:32] <rdz> spasticteapot, and you want to automatically mound on every boot?
[07:32] <spasticteapot> I'm considering offering a $5 PayPal bounty for helping me get this confounded thing working.
[07:32] <juano__> pirate-king: do they move fast or stutter ?
[07:32] <CokeNCode> spasticteapot, there's a way to do that, i did it before, i just can't remember what settings you have to change
[07:32] <spasticteapot> rdz: Yup.
[07:32] <spasticteapot> CokeNCode: Ironic, no?
[07:32] <rdz> spasticteapot, ok, you need to edit your /etc/fstav
[07:32] <rdz> sorry:
[07:32] <usr13> spasticteapot: what are you working on?
[07:32] <Crashtest_> Hi all, I need some help installing Aptana.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3996/
[07:32] <rdz> /etc/fstab
[07:32] <spasticteapot> I spent three weeks before someone told me about masquerade.
[07:32] <pirate-king> steady
[07:32] <pirate-king> not supper fast
[07:33] <Crashtest_> I have a dependency problem, but I don't know how to solve it.
[07:33] <Crashtest_> I seem to already have libc 5 and 6 installed (according to Synaptec)
[07:33] <spasticteapot> I have a network of fixed-IP computers, some windows, some linux, and soon to have a Mac, too.
[07:33] <juano__> pirate-king: what nvidia you got ?
[07:33] <pirate-king> yeah
[07:33] <spasticteapot> I need a file server.,
[07:33] <pirate-king> 5200
[07:33] <usr13> spasticteapot: like samba?
[07:33] <CokeNCode> Click System --> Administration --> Login Window
[07:34] <CokeNCode> Click to the security tab and check the "Allow local system administrator login" box
[07:34] <unop> spasticteapot,  the easiest would be an FTP server then
[07:34] <juano__> pirate-king: check if the driver is on "nvidia" not on "nv" in xorg.conf
[07:34] <CokeNCode> that's the solution for you spasticteapot
[07:34] <pirate-king> ok
[07:34] <usr13> spasticteapot: or...?
[07:34] <spasticteapot> unop: Can that be accessed as a "lettered" drive through windows
[07:34] <rdz> spasticteapot, i am afraid, not
[07:34] <spasticteapot> usr13: I'm trying to set up samba.
[07:34] <juano__> pirate-king: try to see if that helps, if it doesnt leave it like it was and lets check something else
[07:34] <unop> spasticteapot,  errm, no, but you can have a network place pointing to that FTP URI
[07:34] <spasticteapot> This is going to be used by marketing people. Hence, it must be stupidly easy to use.
[07:34] <usr13> spasticteapot:  ahhh.... just a sec.
[07:34] <spasticteapot> Remember....MARKETING.
[07:35] <spasticteapot> The necessary evil.
[07:35] <unop> spasticteapot,  or a link on the desktop, etc
[07:35] <pirate-king> ok
[07:35] <spasticteapot> Once again, it needs to be a lettered drive or they'll get whiney.
[07:35] <juano__> pirate-king: you would need to ctrl + alt + backspace to check if it works, if it doesnt, vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change it back to "nv"
[07:35] <CokeNCode> spasticteapot, did that help? or did you already figure out how to log in as root ?
[07:35] <spasticteapot> They also have control over the money I need for a cable crimper.
[07:35] <spasticteapot> I've changed my mind on Root - I forgot I could just sudo over Telenet.
[07:35] <CokeNCode> lol
[07:35] <spasticteapot> I'm a newbie.
[07:35] <spasticteapot> Durrr....I dumb.
[07:36] <CokeNCode> telnet is a no no
[07:36] <spasticteapot> Admitting you're a newbie is the first step on the 12-step program on going from n00bie to guru.
[07:36] <yomm> spastic : mind you telnet has some security issues
[07:36] <spasticteapot> CokeNCode:
[07:36] <CokeNCode> ssh my good friend
[07:36] <spasticteapot> CokeNCode: Eh....I'm not too concerned.
[07:36] <usr13> spasticteapot: See: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Samba_Server
[07:36] <CokeNCode> lol
[07:36] <CokeNCode> they never are
[07:36] <CokeNCode> *sigh*
[07:36] <ali_> hello
[07:37] <pirate-king> ok when I installed drivers it was nvidia
[07:37] <spasticteapot> We have fixed IPs, a firewall, and a network so kludged together even the person who set it up can't get it to work.
[07:37] <juano__> pirate-king: then its fine
[07:37] <juano__> pirate-king: mm, let me check one sec
[07:37] <spasticteapot> It's so stupid and messy it's just not possible to mes swith.
[07:37] <unop> spasticteapot,  atleast you have a prototype :) everything starts off as a kludge..
[07:37] <pirate-king> ok

[07:37] <spasticteapot> It works.
[07:37] <Crashtest_> Any ideas folks?
[07:38] <spasticteapot> Kahuna: You'll need to set a 720x1280 (720p) in Xorg, I think.
[07:38] <maccam94> how do i fix a segfaulting synaptic?
[07:38] <spasticteapot> Or 1080x1980, which I think is 1080p.
[07:38] <maccam94> spasticteapot, 1920x1080 is 1080p
[07:38] <juano__> pirate-king: are you sure in system admin login screen theres no option for fonts ?
[07:39] <unop> maccam94,  depends on what it's segfaulting on
[07:39] <spasticteapot> D'oh!

[07:42] <FragUPlenty> sup dudes
[07:42] <Kanuha> jrib, does it come loaded with ubuntu live
[07:42] <jrib> Kanuha: yes
[07:42] <blankfaze_> ali_: why?  i don't need to do that
[07:42] <pirate-king> yeah
[07:42] <juano__> pirate-king: check to see fonts what they are set to
[07:42] <pirate-king> ok
[07:42] <FragUPlenty> um anyone in here run Ubuntu 6.06 lts
[07:42] <unop> maccam94,  errm, check the current folder -- the dump might be logged into a file or two
[07:42] <juano__> pirate-king: size, etc
[07:42] <Kanuha> jrib, how do i shut down X
[07:42] <juano__> pirate-king: try changing the font, if changing size doesnt work
[07:42] <dimeotane> unop: error "invalid parameters" while copying
[07:43] <jrib> Kanuha: what are you trying to do exactly?
[07:43] <unop> dimeotane,  ok, so how exactly are you copying them over?
[07:43] <pirate-king> ok
[07:43] <maccam94> unop, aha! /var/crash has a synaptic log
[07:43] <dimeotane> unop: rightclick copy paste in thunar
[07:43] <Kanuha> jrib, I want to shut down X and set new parameters for it to start up with again
[07:44] <juano__> pirate-king: yeah i got FX5500 so we should have same settings
[07:44] <unop> maccam94,  right, !pastebin please
[07:44] <jrib> Kanuha: wouldn't it be easier to edit xorg.conf in X and then just restart X?
[07:44] <pirate-king> ok looking for apperance
[07:44] <unop> dimeotane,  have you tried copying over the command line?
[07:45] <Kanuha> jrib, yes, but I am on the love cd and don't have Ubuntu installed yet
[07:45] <OneOfTheMany> lol
[07:45] <Nitz> Hey Guys just a quick question. Has anyone else had issues with beryl and Gaming? I know its beta software but that tends to be the only time I have issues
[07:45] <jrib> Kanuha: answer to your question though:  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop   will stop it.  replace "stop" with "start" to start it again.   ctrl-alt-backspace just restarts X
[07:45] <ali_> blankfaze_ to make sure vnc is wrking. i had a similar prob
[07:45] <jrib> Kanuha: I don't see why that matters
[07:45] <pirate-king> where is that font setting
[07:45] <maccam94> !pastebin

[07:46] <iulian_> I want to make my linux machine to a lan server and every computer to have access to internet through this pc. someone can help me?
[07:46] <juano__> pirate-king: sorry i cant be so precise at the moment, because im running kubuntu desktop now :P
[07:46] <Kanuha> jrib, I'll give it a go, thanks
[07:46] <pirate-king> ok np
[07:47] <unop> maccam94,  why curl? gedit /var/crash/dumpfile - copy and paste to something like pastebin.ca
[07:47] <blankfaze_> ali_:  oh.  i think it is, it accepts my password into the machine but it's like it's not seeing the screen
[07:47] <FragUPlenty> um I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 on a compaq V2000 laptop and was wondering if the Intel Extreme graphics are ok to run XGL
[07:47] <maccam94> unop, because things are acting kind of unstable now for some reason
[07:47] <ali_> blankfaze_ what type of connection are you using?
[07:47] <mattrepl> any way to find out when a package is going to be made available in the ubuntu repositories?  specfically look for information on Apache 2.2
[07:48] <OneOfTheMany> iulian_ look here http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ubuntuforums+internet+connection+sharing&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
[07:48] <juano__> FragUPlenty: i got a link i think, let me check
[07:48] <iulian_> OneOfTheMany: thanks. i'll give a shot
[07:48] <blankfaze_> ali:  you mean the internet medium?  cable, dhcp to dhcp ip, but i am using the proper ip
[07:48] <FragUPlenty> thanks man
[07:48] <unop> maccam94,  if your system can't handle gedit and firefox .. errm, you really are in trouble
[07:48] <maccam94> firefox is the only one acting up
[07:48] <maccam94> idk if it's beryl or firefox
[07:49] <maccam94> but not going to bother with that atm, more concerned with synaptic
[07:49] <ali_> blankfaze_: 100M Ethernet?
[07:49] <blankfaze_> mmhm
[07:49] <flubs> can anyone help me with some problems I
[07:50] <flubs> can anyone help me with some problems I'm having installing xml::parser?
[07:50] <Crashtest_> nm got it figured out
[07:50] <unop> flubs,  is that the perl package?
[07:50] <flubs> unop: yeah, the one from cpan
[07:50] <christopherl> someone using Mail Notification 4.0 in Gnome?
[07:51] <dimeotane> unop: it says "cp: cannot create regular file 'blah blah blahfilenameetc' : Invalid arguement
[07:51] <dimeotane> there's about 10 of them
[07:51] <unop> dimeotane,  ha ha, it's the filename that matters -- can you paste the exact filename please?/
[07:52] <ali_> blankfaze_: usually u only lose video due to lack of bandwidth
[07:52] <dimeotane> no.. it's on the other system
[07:52] <unop> flubs, right ok, are you using cpan/cpanplus to install the package?
[07:52] <keitaro85> Can anyone help me with this network issue? Whenever i try to go to a website, it says it cannot find the host immediatley. However, if i Keep pushing retry, it eventually finds it. This is for all new requests, even things like google. Any ideas?
[07:52] <unop> dimeotane,  i'm interested in the line that says "cp: cannot create regular file: filename" ..
[07:53] <flubs> unop: no, I'm trying to compile from the tar.gz
[07:54] <juano__> keitaro85: DNS issue probably
[07:54] <unop> flubs,  it's better you use cpan/cpanplus to install these packages .. as these package managers will resolve dependencies and whatnot better than if you do it manually
[07:54] <keitaro85> juano__, well it doesnt happen when I'm on windows
[07:54] <juano__> keitaro85: how is you network setup ?
[07:54] <keitaro85> juano__, its weird that it dies instantly
[07:54] <flubs> unop: is cpan/cpanplus available from cpan's website?
[07:54] <unop> flubs,  yes, off course
[07:54] <keitaro85> juano__, just DHCP from a linksys router
[07:55] <unop> keitaro85,  well, try this as an example at a command line -- nslookup google.co.jp
[07:55] <mamang1904> hello
[07:56] <juano__> keitaro85: ping google.com
[07:56] <keitaro85> juano__, it comes back instantly with no response
[07:56] <juano__> traceroute google.com
[07:56] <juano__> keitaro85: no response ?
[07:56] <wimpies> vmplayer is running now ... how should I proceed to isntall windows in it ?
[07:56] <keitaro85> juano__, yea it comes back no response instantly. Then the second try it works fine
[07:56] <juano__> keitaro85: put in DNS servers your linksys ip
[07:57] <keitaro85> juano__, yea my DNS server is my linksys router
[07:57] <unop> wimpies,  AFAIK the vmplayer only "plays" vmware images, ones that are preset, i'm not sure you can install windows using vmplayer
[07:57] <unop> keitaro85,  are you sure -- verify using the /etc/resolv.conf file
[07:57] <juano__> keitaro85: pastebin your ifconfig
[07:58] <juano__> keitaro85: yea do unop suggestion first, /etc/resolv.conf its important that it be in there first
[07:58] <flubs> upon: I'm having trouble finding the cpan/cpanplus package manager on cpan, can you offer a more specific link or location?
[07:58] <unop> flubs,  2 seconds
[07:59] <unop> flubs,  http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.8802.tar.gz

[07:59] <flubs> unop: thanks
[07:59] <XiCillin> anybody here use compiz?
[08:00] <elwario91> hello
[08:00] <elwario91> I'm becoming crazy!!!!!!!!!!
[08:00] <elwario91> I'm using Code::blocks and I can't compile anything :(
[08:00] <MockY> When I installed VMware Server, I lost my connection to Internet. I can still connect fine to every LAN but not surf
[08:00] <juano__> keitaro85: ping 192.168.1.1 , does it respond fine ?
[08:00] <MockY> I uninstalled it and now every6hing works again
[08:00] <MockY> How come?
[08:00] <unop> keitaro85,  errm, seems 192.168.1.1 is a little flaky as a DNS server -- try this at a command line -- dig google.co.in @192.168.1.1
[08:01] <cmt^^> my tv-out window is bigger than my TV, what to do?
[08:01] <XiCillin> anybody here use compiz?
[08:01] <keitaro85> juano__, yup, everything is ok
[08:01] <unop> keitaro85,  i'd also suggest that you configure your linksys router to supply additional DNS servers to its clients -- you seem to have only one at the moment, ideally you should have 3
[08:01] <keitaro85> juano__, the exact same setup works perfectly when i boot into windows
[08:02] <juano__> keitaro85: ok, yes, you should follow unop suggestion
[08:02] <keitaro85> juano__, unop : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/3998/ includes the dig
[08:02] <flubs> upon: haha, apparently I already had cpan installed
[08:02] <elwario91> est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider?? --> http://pastebin.ca/338841
[08:02] <unop> flubs,  :)
[08:03] <unop> flubs,  cpan install XML::Parser should do then
[08:03] <jurij> salve, ho la necessit di creare uno script bash che faccia partire 4 programmi su 4 terminali separati
[08:04] <unop> keitaro85,  yep, it seems that your DNS servers are timing out for some reason, 192.168.1.1 is just passing your queries on to the public DNS servers and there's a delay in the lookup process there
[08:04] <flubs> unop: I tried cpan xml::parser....I'll try cpan install xml::parser
[08:04] <unop> flubs,  beware that CASE is important when it comes to perl packages
[08:05] <livingdaylight> q: is it sudo apt-get uninstall kde-desktop?

[08:06] <unop> kbrooks,  certain clients have better tolerance than others
[08:06] <kazim59> while everything else's working fine, wget and apt-get don't seem to work properly... they seem to connect to 192.168.82.56 for each request... whats wrong?
[08:06] <meLon-> esc- do this: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[08:06] <[PUPPETS] Gonzo> tonyyarusso: your ban looks just like my new ignore-line :)

[08:07] <nahkiss> unop, seemed more like the mirc dcc-exploit
[08:07] <kazim59> unop: no i dont... and firefox and gaim are working fine
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> esc-: It's not installed by default, but you can apt-get tb
[08:07] <meLon-> esc- go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy

[08:07] <kazim59> unop: its wget and apt-get not working only
[08:07] <meLon-> esc- that gives a list of commonly installed stuff. (Make sure you get the media codec pack, that's a must!!!)
[08:07] <gLoo> 1on1 mid qry me
[08:07] <esc-> i had someone get me all of the media codecs and things last night.

[08:08] <keitaro85> unop, ok well i changed my router to give 3 DNS servers

[08:08] <unop> keitaro85, ok, what are they? let me test them
[08:08] <galorin> I've got a problem, my AMD64 motherboard just died, and it'll be another month before I can afford a new board (want to go AM2) but in the meantime, I can go to an i686 board I've got lying around.  Will there be any problems installing a 32-bit ubuntu in my /root LVM on RAID partition, and keep everything else intact?
[08:08] <kazim59> unop: i dont know whats so special about 192.168.82.56

[08:12] <unop> keitaro85,  can i suggest three other ones  204.117.214.10 217.32.105.91 202.12.27.33
[08:12] <pos69sum> any idea what happened?
[08:12] <unop> keitaro85,  are you formulating the dig command right -- dig hostname @dns.server
[08:12] <unop> ?/
[08:12] <MockY> virus?
[08:12] <superdave888> thanks ubtwo et al
[08:12] <juano__> pirate-king: any luck ?=
[08:12] <pos69sum> i'm on linux, how can i have a virus?
[08:12] <kbrooks> MockY: who are you talking to? if unop, no, you cant haev a virus
[08:12] <pos69sum> i did a locate, couldn't find the torrents
[08:12] <pirate-king> not yet
[08:13] <keitaro85> unop: yea i did that
[08:13] <MockY> lol, my bad
[08:13] <grte> pos69sum: did you do sudo updatedb before doing locate?
[08:13] <galorin> pos69sum, did yuy do an updatedb before trying to use locate?
[08:13] <pos69sum> yes
[08:13] <Simpleton> hows networkmagic working out, has that been improved? I haven't used ubuntu in ~ 6 months
[08:13] <unop> keitaro85,  also .. restart the networking service after making changes to resolv.conf -- sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:13] <pirate-king> do you know how to change resolution on login screen
[08:14] <kbrooks> MockY: if unop logged in under root all the time, still no. viruses have to be downloaded and they have to propagate themselves somehow.
[08:14] <MockY> good to know
[08:14] <unop> pirate-king,  you probably need to run gnome-display-properties as root and set the changes to apply globally
[08:14] <pirate-king> hmmm
[08:14] <unop> << i dont log on as root .. FYI :)
[08:15] <grte> Only crazy people and Linspire users do.

[08:19] <keitaro85> unop: yea
[08:19] <kbrooks> apokryphos: What are those bans for?
[08:19] <PriceChild> unop, argh did it again
[08:19] <iulian_> is it possible to downloada file from ftp if filename contains spaces?
[08:19] <juano__> keitaro85: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:19] <mundanetoaster> What is the best thing for managing wireless location? Finding Networks etc?
[08:19] <keitaro85> unop: it works now, but im just wondering why the other 3 didnt work
[08:19] <PriceChild> unop, well ctrl+x is cut for me :P

[08:20] <ubotwo> kbrooks: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[08:20] <amorphous_> whats the name of the app to point at a window and have the app name given?
[08:20] <unop> keitaro85,  if you did, what does an nslookup on a new hostname give you -- nslookup youtube.com
[08:20] <quaal> is it not possible to have several servers open in xchat-gnome?
[08:20] <PriceChild> quaal, should be
[08:20] <keitaro85> unop: the correct ips
[08:20] <quaal> hmm
[08:20] <unop> keitaro85,  errm, dunno, some ISPs dont allow you to use certain DNS servers, you might not have restarted the networking service, etc
[08:20] <mundanetoaster> What is a good app to scan for wireless networks?
[08:21] <unop> keitaro85,  so, is everything working fine now?
[08:21] <esc-> how do you uninstall in linux?
[08:21] <odin> mundanetoaster: try wifiradar
[08:21] <esc-> say... i don't want Thunderbird anymore.
[08:21] <unop> esc-,  sudo aptitude remove packagename
[08:21] <PriceChild> esc-, sudo apt-get remove thunderbird ?
[08:21] <synic> esc-: you can do it in synaptic
[08:21] <PriceChild> esc-, (no ?)
[08:21] <keitaro85> unop: yea but its interesting as to why the original 3 wouldnt work
[08:21] <synic> the package is mozilla-thunderbird
[08:21] <esc-> yeah.
[08:21] <keitaro85> unop: cause they are UC Irvine DNS servers
[08:21] <esc-> i know the package name.
[08:21] <esc-> was just curious.
[08:22] <mundanetoaster> odin, thank you, Another quesiton is that I just installed gnome network manager, and I can't find the icon for it
[08:22] <unop> keitaro85,  well, how does a dig on one of those servers fare?
[08:22] <PriceChild> mundanetoaster, install network-manager-gnome and then when you log in it will appear in your notification area
[08:22] <keitaro85> unop: goes out to the authoritive servers
[08:22] <BelialMkII> Hey there, Ive got a friend who is setting up her ubuintu install, was wondering if there is a repo or any automated way that  she can install the gspca (used to be spca5xx) drivers and not have to download source and recompile manually each kernel upgrade
[08:22] <mundanetoaster> ok
[08:22] <Simpleton> Man I can't wait till I can reinstall
[08:22] <Simpleton> Soon as my harddrive comes I'll have room for it again
[08:23] <unop> keitaro85,  errm, yep, some DNS servers are just forwarders -- and if you have a chain of servers just forwarding the query around, you will end up with a timeout, and that explains your behaviour of it timing out initially, but subsequent queries work fine as the DNS servers have now cached the query
[08:23] <mundanetoaster> ok so I found network manager, but I can't figure out where to put in the WPA key.
[08:23] <PriceChild> BelialMkII, I thinkt hey're included in standard ubuntu?
[08:23] <quaal> does anyone know how to install the real xchat? this xchat-gnome is kinda shitty
[08:23] <mundanetoaster> it just seems to give me the status of my connection
[08:23] <quaal> i tried to install via the package on xchat.org
[08:24] <keitaro85> unop: yea thats true, but i'm wondering why the exact same machine, on windows works perfectly fine
[08:24] <PriceChild> quaal, sudo apt-get install xchat2
[08:24] <quaal> but it doesnt seem to have a dependency satisfied
[08:24] <BelialMkII> PriceChild: are they? brilliant if so, i was just checking in before we started going through it all
[08:24] <quaal> ah
[08:24] <quaal> xchat2
[08:24] <quaal> i was doing just xchat
[08:24] <quaal> thanks
[08:24] <PriceChild> BelialMkII, I've never had much luck myself
[08:24] <quaal> and how do i uninstall xchat-gnome ?

[08:24] <gnomefreak> quaal: sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome
[08:24] <PriceChild> quaal, sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome
[08:24] <unop> keitaro85,  it's likely that the windows DNS client service has a higher timeout threshold or even has different DNS servers set to one of the interfaces manually
[08:24] <keitaro85> unop: actually those ips dont work at all,
[08:25] <unop> keitaro85,  which IPs are these? the old or new?
[08:25] <keitaro85> unop: the old ones
[08:25] <pirate-king> how do you change login screen resolution?
[08:25] <keitaro85> unop: is there anyway to change the timeout threshold?
[08:25] <Azeqss> can anyone help me pls ?

[08:38] <Darkholme> could you please tell me
[08:38] <kbrooks> _`XeOn_: Have you launched that yet?

[08:45] <NeoMatrixJR24> I attempted to set up a raid5 with mdadm and had it working for a while.  It has since become a disaster, and I have removed the RAID array, but now when I boot up it gets to a point where it flashes all of the IDE lights in the chain (in sequence) and then...EVENTUALLY boots to the UI
[08:45] <qkslvrwolf> juano__:  thanks!
[08:45] <quaal> no i did not update
[08:45] <kbrooks> quaal: Which have universe and multiverse
[08:46] <mundanetoaster> no, not in network manager, but I used the built in networking thing, to connect to a wireless network before.
[08:46] <juano__> qkslvrwolf: no prob :-)
[08:46] <mundanetoaster> qkslvrwolf, ^
[08:46] <soblue> hello. I have a simple question: what's the command to view the process/usage stats list? I forget.
[08:46] <Hatty> ps
[08:46] <qkslvrwolf> mundanetoaster: when before?
[08:46] <quaal> PriceChild:  thats probably what it is
[08:46] <kbrooks> quaal: When you do that, save, close, and type sudo apt-get update
[08:46] <qkslvrwolf> mundanetoaster: edgy broke my wireless and I had to go in and redo everything
[08:46] <quaal> yep!
[08:46] <mundanetoaster> well when I first installed ubuntu this morning, the networking thing that came with it, had my wireless card as one of the network adaptors
[08:46] <quaal> forgot to update
[08:47] <quaal> thanks guys
[08:47] <kbrooks> quaal: np
[08:47] <quaal> heh
[08:47] <soblue> thanks Hatty
[08:47] <Azeqss> has anyone even read my question ?
[08:47] <Hatty> youre welcome, soblue
[08:47] <qkslvrwolf> mundanetoaster: does ifconfig show you your wireless card?
[08:47] <PriceChild> Azeqss, i can't see a question from you?
[08:48] <mundanetoaster> qkslvrwolf, ya it is eth0
 hi, i've tried to reinstall grub by following the steps on the manual, and finally, when i put 'grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hdb' i get an error:  the file /mnt/root/boot/grub/stage2 not read correctly-- what can i do about this ?
[08:49] <mundanetoaster> qkslvrwolf, it shows eth0 as wireless eth1 is my wired I believe, and lo is the loopback.
[08:49] <Darkholme> Im trying to instal Kubuntu edgy, but even if I boot from cd the setup is not launching any help?
[08:50] <Skyblast> Darkholme: Have you tried the alternate disc?
[08:50] <qkslvrwolf> mundanetoaster: try ifconfig eth0 down, then ifconfig eth0 up
[08:50] <juano__> Azeqss:
[08:50] <Marti1> hi guys
[08:50] <juano__> Azeqss: how did you mount your root partition ?
[08:50] <slowfast> kbrooks:  thanks it switched to gdm despite the error messages.
[08:50] <Marti1> i was wondering if I could have some advice
[08:51] <Marti1> please
[08:51] <exwhyzed> my wireless card was not recognized upon install so I installed madwifi but ath0 still does not show up in ifconfig. anyone help?
[08:51] <Marti1> can't install super mario war
[08:51] <juano__> Azeqss: what is your dev for your root partition ? try to pastebin a sudo fdisk -l plz
[08:51] <galorin> Marti1, huh?
[08:51] <iulian_> what torrent client can I use in command line?
[08:52] <Marti1> should be martin
[08:52] <soblue> Hatty: Thought you might like to know. I checked the man page on ps and found top. top was actually the command I was looking for. but thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
[08:52] <Darkholme> but the alternate disc has the same?
[08:52] <Darkholme> i mean
[08:52] <_`XeOn_> back
[08:52] <mnk0> hey sup, anyone know how to install ubuntu from usb?
[08:52] <Darkholme> the problem is that the computer is not recognizing the iso linux
[08:52] <mnk0> like i need to make it a bootable usb or somethin right?
[08:52] <mnk0> im tryin to find a good resoource about it, no luckyet
[08:53] <galorin> mnk0, boot from USB can't be done off an ISO file.
[08:53] <spasticteapot> Anyone here used Webmin?
[08:53] <mnk0> galorin not at all?
[08:53] <mnk0> i heard of a util that makes a usb bootable
[08:54] <galorin> ask the folks in #damnsmalllinux.  they do bootable usb
[08:54] <_`XeOn_> kbrooks now im in users what do i do?
[08:54] <Darkholme> ok so....im going to check the alternate cd
[08:54] <Darkholme> thank you very much!
[08:54] <Azeqss> juano__, that will be hard, is on another pc :s
[08:54] <Darkholme> have a nice day
[08:54] <themachine> what lets me take user input, and place it into a shell script?
[08:54] <galorin> it's going to be a fair bit of work I think mnk0
[08:55] <Marti1> has anybody installed super mario yet? I'm having great difficulties. thanks
[08:55] <themachine> say foo.sh "user input"
[08:55] <EdgEy> hello
[08:55] <kbrooks> _`XeOn_: click on add user.
[08:55] <EdgEy> is there any way of copying the ubuntu install iso to HDD and running it from there? somehow i've ended up with no working installs apart from the ubuntu boot cd, though i can't burn an iso from that since i only have one optical drive
[08:55] <spasticteapot> Anyone here used webmin at all?
[08:56] <Azeqss> juano__, i have everything installed on 1 harddisk (40 gb), and i have followed the manual you can find on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows : Using the Desktop/LiveCD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader
[08:56] <_`XeOn_> and now?
[08:56] <spasticteapot> EdgEy: Try the USB bootable version - that might work.
[08:56] <EdgEy> where could I find that? i've been searching the forums
[08:56] <juano__> Azeqss: ok, if you do a sudo fdisk -l can you identify your linux partition ?
[08:56] <LycanNYC> !ati
[08:56] <ubotwo> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:57] <juano__> Azeqss: at what /dev/? is it ?
[08:57] <Azeqss> hdb, cause hda is my windows on
[08:58] <xRender> ok wtf, where the hell is the command line interface in ubuntu
[08:58] <Simpleton> ...?
[08:58] <PriceChild> !wtf | xRender
[08:58] <EdgEy> xRender, terminal? ctrl+alt+F1?
[08:58] <ubotwo> xRender: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:58] <PriceChild> xRender, applications>accessories>terminal
[08:59] <phos-phoros> what was going on, earlier?
[08:59] <Simpleton> How is ntfs support these days in linux, still risky?
[08:59] <Stormx2> EdgEy: He's gonna hit that and not figure out how to get back ;)
[08:59] <PriceChild> phos-phoros, ?
[08:59] <Stormx2> Simpleton: No, actually!
[08:59] <phos-phoros> script kiddies are taking over Freenode?
[08:59] <EdgEy> Stormx2:  just thought of that
[08:59] <PriceChild> Simpleton, depends who you listen to... I still say backup all data just incase
[08:59] <EdgEy> too late for me to say the way back if he already did
[08:59] <EdgEy> :p
[08:59] <_`XeOn_> kbrooks now what?
[08:59] <PriceChild> phos-phoros, yeah we're on top of it :)
[08:59] <Simpleton> I remember read support being completely solid, but what about write support?
[08:59] <Stormx2> Simpleton: ntfs-3g supports pretty much everything except file permissions and is pretty much failsafe
[08:59] <Azeqss> juano__, hdb, cause hda is my windows on. On hdb i get 3 things: hdb1- linux; hdb2 extended; hdb5: linux swap
[08:59] <phos-phoros> Good deal
[09:00] <Simpleton> Awesome
[09:00] <juano__> Azeqss: then its on hdb1
[09:00] <PriceChild> Stormx2, Simpleton, please still make backups though
[09:00] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo mkdir /media/myhdd
[09:00] <xfrost>  Hello folks, I got a question that respect to thunderbird and firefox, how can I enable the links I made click in thunderbird that opens a new tab in firefox?
[09:00] <Simpleton> I'm not sure if backing up 500gb is a possibility
[09:00] <juano__> Azeqss: then sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/myhdd
[09:00] <_`XeOn_> kbrooks how do i set permisions for only 1 folder?
[09:00] <Simpleton> ill backup critical stuff however
[09:00] <Jowi> mnk0, did you see this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[09:00] <Azeqss> juano__, type it literally on the terminal ?
[09:01] <juano__> Azeqss: then sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/myhdd /dev/hdb
[09:01] <Stormx2> PriceChild: I've only got windows on it, nothing to backup ;)
[09:01] <juano__> Azeqss: yes
[09:01] <nick_> for some reason i cannot mount the smb shares off one of my hhd's on my win server, but i can mount shares off any other of the drives
[09:01] <PriceChild> Stormx2, yes... but you can't assume no-one else has anything to lose either :)
[09:01] <nick_> any ideas?
[09:01] <juano__> Azeqss: change /media for /mnt if it wont work with /media
[09:02] <mnk0> Jowi not yet, thx

[09:07] <pirate-king> winscp is only for windows correct?

[09:10] <NickGarvey> is there a command I can use to find out what kind of RAM I have?  I want to upgrade but I don't want to buy the wrong stick

[09:14] <xRender> whats wrong with the following?:

[09:14] <Darkholme> one question...
[09:14] <RomanK> xRender: what does "ls -lah /home/brian/Desktop/Check.sh" give you?
[09:14] <juano__> Azeqss: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb
[09:14] <BigMick> hi. Linux noob here. Trying to install UBUNTU from iso. getting error can't access tty, job control turned off
[09:14] <juano__> Azeqss: try without the sudo
[09:14] <Darkholme> if 1 have 1 GB of ram......how much should I put in the swap partition?
[09:15] <xRender> uh, no such file or directory  =\
[09:15] <kbrooks> Darkholme: not another 1 GB.
[09:15] <ctkroeker> Darkholme: depends
[09:15] <kbrooks> Darkholme: put any amount LESS THAN 1 GB
[09:15] <mabu33> my recyclinbin icon is lost on the right down! how can i get it back?
[09:15] <ctkroeker> Darkholme: I have almost a gig and I made a 300MB SWAP partition just in case
[09:15] <kbrooks> Darkholme: but not too low... so not 16 mb
[09:15] <cypherdelic> how to get my silicon image sata raid detected? please help
[09:15] <ubuntu__> kbrooks i haven't wrote anything to the disk yet. I deleted a partition , and somehow to took out the linux and swap partition with it
[09:15] <xRender> aw, crap. damned case sensitivity. its "check.sh" not "Check.sh"
[09:15] <xRender> thanks
[09:16] <RomanK> xRender: np
[09:16] <ctkroeker> Darkholme: Maybe between 100-300MB
[09:16] <Darkholme> because someone in a tutorial says that it's recommended to put the double of the ram in the swap partition...
[09:16] <Darkholme> :O
[09:16] <RomanK> xRender: just a hint: work using the <tab>-key...
[09:16] <kbrooks> Darkholme: DO NOT DO THAT.
[09:16] <Darkholme> lol
[09:16] <kbrooks> Darkholme: it is a bad idea to.
[09:16] <xRender> what do you mean?
[09:16] <gaspipe1> can anyone help me update my video driver for a NV34 Geforce FX 5200?
[09:16] <RomanK> sh /h<tab>/b<tab>/D<tab>/<tab><tab>
[09:16] <DiOXiN> Can someone help me!? I just installed ubuntu and now my SOUND does'nt work! I guess I need to install drivers but how? I have Soundblaster Audigy SE..
[09:16] <quaal> it worked
[09:16] <Darkholme> if Im planning to use beryl, aiglx and so on is it ok with just 256 in the swap?
[09:16] <quaal> thanks again guys
[09:16] <ctkroeker> Darkholme: THose tutorials are outdated and suit people with very little RAM, i.e. 128MB
[09:16] <xRender> ah. cool
[09:16] <kbrooks> Darkholme: just put any amount less than 1 gb, eg 512 mb, 256 mb
[09:16] <Darkholme> :O
[09:16] <ctkroeker> Darkholme: THat's fine
[09:17] <Azeqss> juano__, it was a space, it worked withe the sudo, but now i get again error: file (..)/stage1 not read correctly
[09:17] <Darkholme> :O
[09:17] <Darkholme> thanks a lot for your help!
[09:17] <Darkholme> bye!
[09:17] <xRender> now this file just gave me an error  >_<  "you are either not running this script from the console or simply do not have console ownership"  ??
[09:17] <rjm1982> Is having too big of a swap harfull?
[09:17] <juano__> Azeqss: ls -a /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub
[09:17] <eztk> why do I keep getting this error when I run update manager? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[09:17] <xRender> and on a side note, I made my swap 2x RAM  =\  swap direc is 2GB
[09:17] <ubuntu__> so kbrooks any ideas
[09:18] <ctkroeker> eztk: probably corrupt file
[09:18] <juano__> Darkholme: SWAP usually is 2 x RAM, i got 1GB swap and 512 RAM
[09:18] <dreck13> hello
[09:18] <ctkroeker> eztk: it'll probably go away in a few hours or days
[09:18] <eztk> eztk: presumably at the server? surely other Ubuntu Edgy users are seeing this too, right?
[09:18] <eztk> ahh thank you :)
[09:19] <kbrooks> juano__: Don't confuse him.
[09:19] <ctkroeker> eztk: It could be that it's just your problem. Just try it every day and if the problem stays, come back for help
[09:19] <BigMick> rjm1982 are you still around?
[09:19] <xRender> so what does this error mean?  "you are either not running this script from the console or simply do not have console ownership." is terminal different from "console"?
[09:20] <juano__> kbrooks: sorry you meant me?
[09:20] <kbrooks> juano__: ah sry i misread, i saw "1 GB RAM, 512 swap"
[09:20] <juano__> kbrooks: hehe its ok :P
[09:20] <rdz> hello everyone. is there some way to build myself the standard dapper kernel, without having to reinstall all modules?
[09:20] <rafase282> Hello
[09:20] <BigMick> trying to install ubuntu from .iso. getting "can't access tty, job control turned off"
[09:21] <rdz> rdz, i mean the standard dapper kernel wit realtime enabled?
[09:21] <NeoMatrixJR24> ok, I've been reading the Darkholme q.  I have 1.7gb RAM and 1.2GB swap.  Is that bad?
[09:21] <ademan> compatibility with: WMP54GX  ?
[09:21] <ademan> (linksys)
[09:21] <rafase282> I need help to transfer or syc my T-Mobile MDA with my laptop via USB or Bluetooth
[09:21] <Asc> NeomatrixJR24: Do you ever use the swap?
[09:21] <juano__> NeoMatrixJR24: usually when you have 2 GB RAM you dont make a swap
[09:22] <rafase282> I need help to transfer or syc my T-Mobile MDA with my laptop via USB or Bluetooth
[09:22] <Asc> (come to that, I've got 768 and I never use my swap)
[09:22] <juano__> NeoMatrixJR24: you have the sufficient amount of real memory to keep the OS stable
[09:22] <ubuntu__> so does anyone know of a data recovery program
[09:22] <eztk> I'm glad I bought tons of RAM about 4 years ago. prices seemed to have jumped up now.
[09:22] <xRender> is ubuntu built on "Linux x86" or "Linux x86_64"?
[09:22] <pirate-king> is there an easier program than samba
[09:22] <ademan> !compatibility
[09:22] <ubotwo> Sorry, I know nothing about that - try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/
[09:22] <NeoMatrixJR24> if I don't have swap my system says it can't find swap.  I probably use swap a bit since I am typically (when I can get my RAID problem fixed) use this as a VMWARE server
[09:22] <Azeqss> juano__,  i get ' . default e2fs_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 reiserfs_stage1_5 stage2 (next line:) ..  device.map fat_stage1_5 minix_stage1_5  stage1  xfs_stage1_5
[09:23] <rafase282> ubotwo: can u help me?
[09:23] <ubotwo> rafase282: Error: "can" is not a valid command.
[09:23] <rafase282> ubutwo, I need help
[09:23] <quaal> hmm
[09:23] <rafase282> about sync WM5
[09:23] <quaal> the sound quality with my nforce2 chipset is much worse in ubuntu

[09:25] <Azeqss> juano__,  any other solution :s i'm so tyerd, i've been trying whole day fixing it :s
[09:25] <theqkash> I need tro install VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3344(rev 01) on my laptop, help plz
[09:25] <xRender> is ubuntu built on "Linux x86" or "Linux x86_64"?
[09:25] <meLon-> Hey you guys. What's a good ssh client or 'terminal' program? I dont really like the normal one, and googling 'ssh client' doesnt really do any good
[09:25] <theqkash> I need tr install VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3344(rev 01) on my laptop, help plz
[09:25] <RomanK> xRender: you can get Packages for both architectures
[09:25] <juano__> Azeqss: are we sure /dev/hdb1 is your root partition ?
[09:25] <Azeqss> juano__, i get an error when i start my pc: error 21, and they said i have to reinstall grub ..
[09:25] <themachine> meLon look up Putty
[09:26] <Slart> xRender: your choice.. it's available for both architecures
[09:26] <theqkash> I need to install VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3344(rev 01) on my laptop, help plz
[09:26] <dimeotane> how do I set up edgy to use 100% of my duo core 2 system?
[09:26] <juano__> Azeqss: sure, that command should of fixed it
[09:26] <xRender> what is the default? i just used the desktop live cd install from ubuntu.com
[09:26] <RomanK> meLon-: why don't you like the openssh-client? what are you missing?
[09:26] <meLon-> I love putty! I didn't know there was a lin build >_<
[09:26] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb
[09:26] <juano__> Azeqss: check command syntax
[09:26] <NeoMatrixJR24> theqkash: have you tried using the standard vesa driver?
[09:26] <meLon-> RomanK, it's bulky, and I like the way that if you select stuff in putty, it copies it
[09:26] <RomanK> xRender: you can get desktop-live-cds from ubuntu.com for x86-32 as well as -64
[09:26] <Slart> dimeotane: 100%? if you're only running one process.. I don't think there's a way to autmatically make it use both processors/cores
[09:26] <Azeqss> juano__, euh ?
[09:26] <quaal> someone say my name
[09:27] <xRender> is there a way to find out what architecture my ubuntu is using?
[09:27] <kbrooks> quaal
[09:27] <Slart> xRender: I'd guess 32 bit
[09:27] <quaal> kbrooks, thankyou
[09:27] <RomanK> meLon-: so does the normal ssh-client you can paste it with the middle-mouse-button
[09:27] <juano__> Azeqss: check if you typed it in right
[09:27] <RomanK> meLon-: that's the unix-way ;)
[09:27] <Azeqss> juano__, yeah, i'm sure
[09:27] <variant> dimeotane: what do you mean exactly? you mean the speedstepping?
[09:27] <Slart> xRender: there is a command.. not uname.. something else.. I've forgotten it now
[09:27] <Slart> !uname
[09:27] <ubotwo> Sorry, I know nothing about that - try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/
[09:27] <theqkash> NeoMatrixJR24: with 3d?
[09:27] <juano__> Azeqss: whats the output for that ?
[09:27] <RomanK> xRender: eventually with uname -a?
[09:27] <meLon-> ah, nifty. Imma try to get putty working because I have ubuntu installed onto a laptop wich doesnt always have a middle mouse button
[09:27] <NeoMatrixJR24> no.
[09:28] <xRender> uh, event not found?
[09:28] <meLon-> RomanK thanks and thanks to you too themachine
[09:28] <dimeotane> variant:  so far my duo core2 doesn't appear to use all 100% of my cpus power... usually only 50%
[09:28] <variant> dimeotane: how are you mesureing it?
[09:28] <NeoMatrixJR24> ok...to anyone...how are you guys doing the respond thing...it's been a while since I really used irc
[09:28] <Slart> RomanK, xRender: uname -a is one option.. but there is another one I keep forgetting..
[09:28] <RomanK> meLon-: than turn on middle-mouse-button emulation... (dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg, but i guess it's already activated)
[09:28] <themachine> no problem meLon
[09:28] <juano__> after running that, try cat /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:28] <Asc> Slate: The mass rename tool should be able to do that - you'll want to do a search and replace for the numbers with a regular expression - like '_*.txt' to 'txt', then use the numbering function to add new numbers
[09:28] <rafase282> I need help to transfer or syc my T-Mobile MDA with my laptop via USB or Bluetooth
[09:28] <juano__> Azeqss: after running that, try cat /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:28] <RomanK> earthmeLon: you can then use the right and the left mousebutton to emulate the middlebutton
[09:29] <NeoMatrixJR24> theqkash: not with 3d.  and I doubt you'll have much luck with 3d acceleration with a VIA chipset
[09:29] <Slart> Asc: ok.. I'll take a look at it. Thanks
[09:29] <earthmeLon> RomanK, my right mouse button is slightly broken, but iw ill try THANKS!!!
[09:29] <Azeqss> juano__, proving devices to guess BIOS drives.  This may take a long time. (and a second later the error file stage1 not read correctly)
[09:29] <themachine> any command that gives me all available commands on a system?
[09:29] <NeoMatrixJR24> theqkash: I have an ATI in my laptop and I can't get 3d to work in it right!
[09:29] <RomanK> LoL...
[09:29] <Asc> Slate: You might need to do some fiddling to get them numbered in the proper order, but it should be manageable.  The tool's under applications->system tools->bulk rename if you have it installed
[09:29] <RomanK> earthmeLon: you should install OS X, it comes with mice only having a single button :P
[09:29] <Azeqss> juano__,  i'll try the cat thing now
[09:29] <variant> theqkash: run sudo update-pciids && sudo lspci
[09:29] <theqkash> I've got sth like unichrome drivers, but I can't install it :(
[09:29] <Asc> Slart: s/Slate/Slart
[09:30] <juano__> Azeqss: you might wanna try installing it in /dev/hda maybe
[09:30] <quaal> k
[09:30] <quaal> later
[09:30] <Slart> Asc: not installed... yet
[09:30] <Azeqss> juano__, but that's my windows harddrive
[09:30] <Asc> Slart: I think I found it in applications->add/remove
[09:30] <themachine> I tried using 'apropos *' but it doesn't list every command
[09:31] <juano__> Azeqss: yeah, thats if you want grub to install to hda , if you dont then lets keep trying with hdb
[09:31] <NeoMatrixJR24> back to my last q.  is 1.2gb swap TOO big if I have 1.7GB RAM (and yes, lets assume I'm a memory hog since I run VM's)
[09:31] <variant> theqkash: you want to list every possible command?
[09:31] <rafase282> hey
[09:31] <theqkash> variant: UniChrome Pro IGP
[09:31] <rafase282> i need help please
[09:31] <earthmeLon> lol, i just got gxl working, so imm stick with ubuntu for now
[09:31] <juano__> Azeqss: it wont make a difference, i have hda and hdc and grub on hda
[09:31] <Slart> Asc: bah.. I have to install thunar to use it?
[09:31] <themachine> variant, yes I do want every possible command
[09:31] <juano__> Azeqss: grub will read win partition and boot it
[09:31] <variant> theqkash: and glxinfo | grep direct
[09:31] <variant> themachine: fine, ls /usr/bin/
[09:31] <quaal> what linux torrent client is best
[09:31] <xRender> k i just ran through all the uname options
[09:31] <Azeqss> juano__, the cat gives an error: no such file
[09:31] <xRender> no dice
[09:31] <juano__> Azeqss: its just where you want it to install
[09:31] <variant> themachine: and ls /bin && ls /usr/sbin && ls /sbin
[09:32] <variant> quaal: azureus is popular
[09:32] <Slart> xRender: you don't have uname installed? very weird.. what flavour of linux are you using?
[09:32] <xRender> any other way to tell between linux x86 and linux x86_64?
[09:32] <quaal> yea
[09:32] <Asc> Slart: Heck if I know, but I've got Thunar installed and it hasn't made anything explode yet.
[09:32] <quaal> i wish utorrent was made for linux
[09:32] <juano__> Azeqss: yeah i knew it wouldnt, cause it didnt install correctly, just verifing
[09:32] <theqkash> variant: direct rendering: No, OpenGL renderer string: mesa GLX Indirect
[09:32] <themachine> variant, is there a way to force apropos to give me everything?
[09:32] <Azeqss> juano__,  yeah, but i hoped not to affect windows with it, but it is right now, cause i can't start windows either
[09:32] <xRender> no, i do have uname, but it doesnt help me as it is not answering my question
[09:32] <themachine> I'm trying to make a script that will give me any command related to something I'm not sure exists or not
[09:33] <variant> xRender: so what is your question? you want to konw if your cpu is 64bit capable or if hte kernel is?
[09:33] <SimonLoftus> evening all
[09:33] <Slart> xRender: and uname -a doesn't tell you at the end if it's running x86-64 or x86-32?
[09:33] <themachine> such as type sh foo "message"
[09:33] <juano__> Azeqss: you could try to install to hda yes, well to boot windows, you would select HDD from BIOS to boot up with
[09:33] <NeoMatrixJR24> quaal: I think there's a torrent client in synaptic...don't know if it's best since I torrent on my win pc, but you may want to try it
[09:33] <Azeqss> juano__, you guess trying on hda would work ?
[09:33] <xRender> this is the entire line i get fed:
[09:33] <themachine> would give me any command having to do with message
[09:33] <variant> themachine: thats what apropos is for "apropos audio"
[09:33] <juano__> Azeqss: well it could work yes, do you have the windows CD with you ?
[09:33] <SimonLoftus> does anyone here use gaim vv, or another program to allow video and voice with gaim.  If so, can you help me
[09:33] <juano__> Azeqss: cause if it doesnt work , you can override mbr with windows CD if you want to go back
[09:34] <xRender> 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP blahblahdateblah UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

[09:34] <EdgEy> is there any way to unmount my cdrom drive, and mount the ubuntu cd image from my hdd (my ubuntu cd is corrupt, i didn't check the burn for integrity, installer hangs)
[09:34] <Broam> Hello ubunteros
[09:34] <variant> EdgEy: mount -o loop /mnt /path/to/file.iso iir
[09:34] <variant> iirc
[09:34] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hda  would be command to install on /dev/hda
[09:34] <EdgEy> i managed to do it using eject, mount -o loop /cdrom blah
[09:35] <EdgEy> but it hung
[09:35] <xRender> so if im trying to download an ATI driver from their website and the only options they present are linux x86 and linux x86_64, which do i pick
[09:35] <variant> EdgEy: i got a bit mixed up there
[09:35] <variant> xRender: 32
[09:35] <xRender> .. there's only 2 choices
[09:35] <variant> xRender: why don't you just follow the ati install instructions?
[09:35] <xRender> there are ati install instructions?
[09:36] <variant> xRender: of course..
[09:36] <variant> !ati | xRender
[09:36] <ubotwo> xRender: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:36] <Azeqss> juano__, oke, i'll first try it on hda, and if that won't work i'll do it with the windows cd oke ?
[09:36] <Azeqss> juano__, do i have to mount it all over again or just the install- command hda ?
[09:36] <quaal> hmm
[09:36] <quaal> whats the apt-get for the java-jre ?
[09:36] <NeoMatrixJR24> ...hello....is anyone still seeing my messages?
[09:37] <juano__> Azeqss: no , if you didnt reboot the live cd you can do just the command
[09:37] <variant> NeoMatrixJR24: nope, can't see you
[09:37] <NeoMatrixJR24> ...... :| right......
[09:37] <grte> Does aptitude have a function similar to apt-get's build-dep?
[09:37] <NeoMatrixJR24> oh, and how do you do that respond thing?

[09:38] <juano__> Azeqss: yea, its fine
[09:38] <TooR4u> variant, ohh maya in linux?
[09:38] <NeoMatrixJR24> threeseas: see my messages...not me
[09:38] <exwhyzed> variant: nothing there either
[09:38] <xRender> should i use the open source or proprietary ati driver

[09:38] <TooR4u> variant, of those which one is the best ?
[09:38] <EdgEy> i just can't unmount cdrom

[09:49] <||bas1> ok, quick question, my research adviser just told me to put in a purchase order a Linux-friendly hddvd or blu-ray optical drive, are ANY devices that are known to have been made to work in ubuntu?
[09:49] <NeoMatrixJR24> randomtime...ok, not very descriptive, but how about this can you pastebin your dmesg?
[09:49] <juano__> quaal: try sudo chmod 777 jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin first
[09:50] <DiOXiN> ||bas1: the problem is, nothing happens when I select preferences... its a red cross over the volumecontrol
[09:50] <juano__> quaal: then run ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin as root
[09:50] <randomtime> NeoMatrix: No can do, I don't have internet
[09:50] <EdgEy> anyone know where the desktop cd mounts cdrom to, i need to unmount that and mount an iso..
[09:50] <NeoMatrixJR24> randomtime: If you don't have internet how are you on here?
[09:51] <juano__> EdgEy: /media/cdrom0 _
[09:51] <Delboygib>  problems with gaim i cannot log into yahoo
[09:51] <||bas1> nobody knows about ANY?
[09:51] <||bas1> that doesn't bode well for the future of movies on linux
[09:51] <logan14> hey im back
[09:51] <randomtime> NeoMatrix: I'm connecting with my other computer, I don't have a long enough cable or earthenet support, on my Ubuntu.
[09:51] <siikah> zenmonk, 2.0. sorry, my mistake, position and size. there's a tab there named position. seems to work perfectly..
[09:52] <||bas1> you would think one of them would be known to work at this point
[09:52] <Azeqss> juano__,  what now?
[09:52] <zenmonk> siikah: under picture when you right click?
[09:52] <Delboygib> everything works well except gaim today
[09:52] <logan14> does anyone know  if you can install internet explorer
[09:52] <Ezechiel> hi together
[09:52] <NeoMatrixJR24> randomtime: how about cat dmesg > some_file_on_floppy.txt then take it to your internet connected computer
[09:52] <siikah> zenmonk, I just right-click on the picture
[09:52] <juano__> Azeqss: let me see
[09:52] <juano__> Azeqss: mm
[09:53] <Ezechiel> @logan14: installed it using crossoveroffice
[09:53] <siikah> zenmonk, ok, I just tried with an "object" lemme try with a true picture
[09:53] <zenmonk> siikah: yea, it works with object, but I didn't see it with picture
[09:53] <NeoMatrixJR24> Ok, instead of raid issues, can someone help me with DMA issues?
[09:53] <nexous> HI
[09:53] <juano__> Azeqss: are you sure hdb1 is your root partition there _
[09:53] <nexous> I need some help installing Ubuntu on my laptop.
[09:53] <Randomtime_> NeoMatrix:sorry I was dissonected
[09:53] <mikeo1> my /div/sound randomly stopped working today... how do i fix it?
[09:53] <mikeo1> or reconfigure it
[09:53] <lesshaste>  what's the easiest way to get spamassassin to work with thunderbird?  I suppose I have to run fetchmail from thunderbird and then pipe it through postfix??
[09:53] <Randomtime_> nexous: what help do you need
[09:53] <d00d_> my theme wont change in berly ??
[09:53] <NeoMatrixJR24> randomtime: how about cat dmesg > some_file_on_floppy.txt then take it to your internet connected computer
[09:54] <Azeqss> juano__, yeah,it's the only possibility
[09:54] <BigToe> What do I install for Iagno/Reversi to be able to host games?
[09:54] <Led-Hed> Where can I set the Screen Blanking Timeouts in Ubuntu (DPMS)?
[09:54] <Delboygib>  problems with gaim i cannot log into yahoo
[09:54] <Randomtime_> NeoMatrix: Ok 1 sec
[09:54] <nexous> I have cd problems with my laptop
[09:54] <PORDO> what's a good competitor site to newegg?  my friend wants an uber cheap/simple laptop for his girlfriend.
[09:54] <mikeo1> it works in some programs but not others
[09:54] <Stormx2> I need a recommendation of a good webcam that works well on ubuntu
[09:54] <Asc> ||bas1: Well, linux still can't do content-protected DVDs legally.  I doubt if it will ever be legal to do HD.
[09:54] <juano__> Azeqss: ok, ls -a | grep /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:54] <juano__> Azeqss: sorry
[09:54] <mjr> asc, depends on where you live, though
[09:55] <mikeo1> how do i reconfigure sound in ubuntu
[09:55] <Led-Hed> PORDO, I've had good luck with ewiz.com and buy.com
[09:55] <juano__> Azeqss: ok, ls -a | grep menu.lst
[09:55] <siikah> zenmonk, I'll have a look
[09:55] <mikeo1> it stopped working
[09:55] <BigToe> !iagno
[09:55] <juano__> Azeqss: sorry my bad, try second one
[09:55] <||bas1> you aren't answering my quesition
[09:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about iagno - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:55] <||bas1> i'm talking about HARDWARE support
[09:55] <BigToe> !reversi
[09:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reversi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:55] <BigToe> What do I install for Iagno/Reversi to be able to host games?
[09:55] <||bas1> i know you can't break the content protection yet
[09:55] <juano__> Azeqss: nothing there right _
[09:55] <st00ner> with HD? yeah some people have broken it. you just need a key
[09:55] <tlanfer> is there still no way to start a xsession from within another?
[09:55] <Asc> mjr: It does.  But having it illegal in the US sure hasn't helped get it working properly.
[09:55] <Ezechiel> does anyone know why IRCNet banned my IP?
[09:55] <Ezechiel> am first time user there
[09:56] <st00ner> what does that have to do with ubuntu? lol
[09:56] <||bas1> the reason my research adviser told me to buy a blu ray device is because we're doing a cryptographic study of the AACS content revocation system
[09:56] <gaspipe1> owwww man what a diffrence since I changed my resolution to 1280 x 1024
[09:56] <BigToe> indeed, gaspipe1
[09:56] <mjr> Asc, mmh. My experience has been that they generally work fine, but YMMV
[09:56] <Ezechiel> is there a problem with ircnet and tonline IPs?
[09:56] <Stormx2> ||bas1: I think that before people start writing drivers for blu-ray drives they'll break the encryption properly
[09:56] <LjL> !offtopic | Ezechiel
[09:56] <ubotu> Ezechiel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:56] <nexous> I have cd issues on my laptop, how else could I go about setting 6.10 up on it.
[09:56] <Asc> ||bas1: I'm not answering your question because I've not heard of any such players.
[09:56] <BigToe> hurts for a few mins, but after about 15 mins you'll notice the different :P
[09:56] <Enselic> I have a laptop and an external monitor. How can I configure X for dual display?
[09:56] <Azeqss> juano__, nothing happens
[09:56] <BigToe> What do I install for Iagno/Reversi to be able to host games?
[09:56] <juano__> Azeqss: no file there
[09:56] <gaspipe1> BigToe: took forever to find the right forum link
[09:56] <up365> DiOXiN: try this link http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 this  worked for my SBLive
[09:57] <||bas1> unless a blu-ray drive can just be read as a generic block device in which case i'm fine
[09:57] <juano__> Azeqss: mm ok, lets see what else it could be
[09:57] <BigToe> lol gaspipe1
[09:57] <DiOXiN> up365: thanx I'll try
[09:57] <||bas1> i dont care about the content protection at all
[09:57] <Asc> mjr: the library isn't even in repos.  I had to get it from a random web site.
[09:57] <Azeqss> juano__, no error message or something; just again ubuntu@ubuntu
[09:57] <gaspipe1> BigToe: just hope my video driver is up to date
[09:57] <juano__> Azeqss: yea
[09:57] <||bas1> circumventing the content protection would totally negate the point of my study
[09:57] <juano__> Azeqss: if you could pastebin me your sudo fdisk -l it would be good
[09:57] <nexous> I have cd issues on my laptop, how else could I go about setting 6.10 up on it.
[09:57] <dwid> how do  i end a program thats not responding, like ctrl al del in windows?
[09:57] <Asc> mjr: Well, I got it from VLC's repositories, but it's the principle of the thing.
[09:57] <Stormx2> ||bas1: Alright already, we see the point. Gimme a second and i'll do some googling for you, sheesh
[09:57] <PORDO> thanks Led-Hed.  LZ rocks.
[09:58] <BigToe> dwid, click the X at the top right
[09:58] <||bas1> i did plenty googling
[09:58] <||bas1> if that's all you can offer dont bother
[09:58] <siikah> zenmonk, no man, I can't find it either. that wierd. seems like you'll have to copy-paste into openoffce draw and rotate it and then go back... :-\
[09:58] <NeoMatrixJR24> ||bas1, I don't know if this will help you but there is a slim possibility that the HD-DVD drive for the xbox 360 may work with linux
[09:58] <BigToe> after a few seconds it will bring up a dialog
[09:58] <Azeqss> juano__, and how would i do that :s
[09:58] <BigToe> saying it's frozen, then click force quit
[09:58] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix:What format can I save it as so it can be read in text format on windows?
[09:58] <NeoMatrixJR24> ||bas1 let me check something
[09:58] <EdgEy> /media/cdrom0 does not exist
[09:58] <juano__> Azeqss: :P , dunno, no internet via livecd on other comp _
[09:58] <dwid> bigtoe: that wont work
[09:58] <Detonix_> if i do glxgears i dont get the info
[09:58] <tlanfer> "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." How can i change this?
[09:58] <BigToe> dwid, gnome-system-manager then I think
[09:58] <juano__> Azeqss: or LAN share from that comp to this one >
[09:59] <BigToe> type that in terminal
[09:59] <BigToe> find the app, right click and click kill
[09:59] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime if you: cat dmesg > some_file.rtf and take it to windows, MS word should open it properly
[09:59] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix: ok
[09:59] <dwid> how do i get to gnome system manager
[09:59] <Rochvellon> i want to sync a directory with another dir. both dirs are mounted to th local filesystem. but i get an error using rsync /dir1 /dir2: skipping /dir1
[09:59] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb    that should work fine
[09:59] <Rochvellon> whats wrong?
[09:59] <gaspipe1> right now i'm using thunderbird for email (b/c thats what i used in xp) anyone recommend a better email program or is that the best?
[09:59] <dawntreader> zenmonk, format from menu bar, character, position tab and rotation. This is in OO v2
[09:59] <Azeqss> juano__, i don't now hod to do that :p but oh yeah, i'll use a memorysec, hold on
[09:59] <BigToe> dwid, type gnome-system-manager in a terminal

[10:02] <Stormx2> NeoMatrixJR24: What? Mac OSX on the xbox? o.o

[10:02] <EdgEy> is it actually possible to unmount the live cd and mount something else without bringing it all down
[10:02] <toyo|lappy> it says it cant find the package
[10:02] <EdgEy> i'm stuck with a nonworking system atm
[10:02] <facefaceface> I don't know what killed it - it was perfect - some dbus issue?

[10:03] <mrti1> Feisty x86_64: Is is possible to install 32 bit apps with aptitude, or is the only way to force the architecture for each package?
[10:03] <Stormx2> gaspipe1: I wouldn't know. I guess google probably exports it as RSS / something similar tho.
[10:03] <Commander-Crowe> do I have to install iptables?
[10:03] <DC_ubuntu> Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction to find a driver for a Hitachi Travelstar 100 GB drive?
[10:03] <toyo|lappy> Stormx2, its more of a package install issue I think
[10:03] <toyo|lappy> :/
[10:03] <Commander-Crowe> none of the commands work
[10:03] <toyo|lappy> not the os
[10:04] <facefaceface> Rochvellon, try -a

[10:04] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Oh, I see. You're looking for apt-get / aptitude then
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: LOL
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: did you mount it
[10:04] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Is there a specific issue or do you just not know how to use it?
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: if you get a prompt select open in new window
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: that should mount it
[10:04] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix: I do know about pastebin, it may just take a little longer because The floppy's not mounting properly
[10:04] <zenmonk> dawntreader: I look under Format\Object\Position and Size and it is greyed out
[10:04] <facefaceface> I tried uninstalling NetworkManager Applet 0.6.2, but it still just broke

[10:05] <mikeo1> my sudo su is broken
[10:05] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: What is the package?
[10:05] <Triumph|TK> could anyone help me with a pretty simple question if they aren't too busy?
[10:05] <facefaceface> should I try to kill the config ?

[10:07] <mikeo1> wtf... i just ran synopic and i get
[10:07] <mikeo1> Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.
[10:07] <mikeo1> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[10:07] <juano__> kps_: /dev/hda is your first IDE hard disk
[10:07] <Stormx2> mikeo1: Don't paste.
[10:07] <juano__> kps_: which grub refers to as hd0
[10:07] <Stormx2> Commander-Crowe: Share your connection?
[10:07] <Stormx2> Commander-Crowe: Meaning?
[10:07] <kps_> there is a normal ide disk and a sata disk
[10:07] <Triumph|TK> u missed my question!
[10:08] <kps_> the normal disk is /dev/hda, the sata disk /dev/sda
[10:08] <Azeqss> juano__,  yes, the icon is between the others
[10:08] <kps_> but what are they in grub
[10:08] <Stormx2> Triumph|TK: No I've read it.
[10:08] <alex_mayorga> is there a bluetooth IRC channel?
[10:08] <Stormx2> Triumph|TK: There is probably a server guide, ya know
[10:08] <Azeqss> juano__,  that means it's on it?
[10:08] <blackduck3> Why does my internet connection drop out when I am not using it?
[10:08] <Triumph|TK> ive read it many times before coming here
[10:08] <juano__> Azeqss: yea
[10:08] <zenmonk> dawntreader: I am trying to rotate a picture, not text
[10:08] <juano__> Azeqss: then right click it and select unmount or remofe safely
[10:08] <Stormx2> Triumph|TK: #ubuntu-server
[10:08] <NeoMatrixJR24> Triumph|TK: I read too...just don't know.  Check out using webmin.

[10:09] <LiENUS> it says "no useable theme found for 1280x1024"
[10:09] <LiENUS> or something to that effect
[10:09] <juano__> Azeqss: then plug it out and plug it in the internet comp
[10:09] <kps_> is there a way to list in grub what the devices it know of are?
[10:09] <LiENUS> anyone know how to fix this?
[10:09] <Triumph|TK> whats webmin neomatrix?

[10:09] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix: ok it unmounted and pasted on pastebin.ca
[10:09] <Azeqss> juano__,  allright :)  i didn't unmount safely, that was my problem ;) :p
[10:09] <manaf123> hi, how do i start a new X session?
[10:09] <SNowborn> hi! how do I mount my /var/cache to another folder on another drive?
[10:10] <Stormx2> mikeo1: Post a topic on ubuntuforums.org with what you did to get to this problem, etc. Looks like no one here knows

[10:10] <mikeo1> http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/forums/topic.asp?topic_ID=21085
[10:10] <juano__> Azeqss: ;-)
[10:10] <mikeo1> that is my problem
[10:10] <quaal> juano__,  what do i do with this sudo: ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin: command not found
[10:10] <NeoMatrixJR24> !webmin
[10:10] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[10:10] <manaf123> Stormx2: im already in X, i just type startx? and it should start a new x session?
[10:10] <spua7> ubotu: not true
[10:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about not true - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:10] <juano__> quaal: just run .//jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
[10:11] <Stormx2> manaf123: Do you want to restart the X session then?
[10:11] <juano__> quaal: just run ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
[10:11] <spua7> printer question: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/sharing_with_windows.html
[10:11] <facefaceface> if I want to use --reinstall with apt-get, what 'primary' command should I use? remove?
[10:11] <NeoMatrixJR24> Triumph:TK I guess webmin is no longer supported... I dunno I still use it.  Just google search it.  It's still available in synaptic
[10:11] <quaal> its weird because when i do that i get bash: ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin: Permission denied
[10:11] <juano__> quaal: sorry with 1 /
[10:11] <quaal> maybe i just have to su first
[10:11] <blameless> is there a license reason why webmin isn't supported anymore?
[10:11] <Stormx2> spua7: You're talking to a bot

[10:11] <JDStone> anyone want to buy GTA: San Andreas (NEW) hardly used for $19.95 (free shipping)?
[10:11] <manaf123> Stormx2: no, i want to start another 1, so when i press alt ctrl f9 i could jump to that session
[10:11] <alex_mayorga> kps_: trey e to edit the commands, then try the tab key it'll tell you what grub knows
[10:11] <quaal> nope
[10:11] <Stormx2> JDStone: Not here.
[10:11] <LiENUS> i used apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 and now usplash doesnt work anymore , something about no useable theme found for 1280x1024, anyone know how to fix?
[10:11] <Azeqss> juano__, pastebindoesn't work :s i get mysql error :s

[10:11] <juano__> quaal: yep thats the problem
[10:11] <JDStone> oh, good idea
[10:11] <decherdtt> NeoMatrixJR24 I had trouble with ide-generic.ko VIA and DMA, rebuilt the kernel and initrd.img without that module
[10:11] <Stormx2> quaal: chmod +x
[10:11] <juano__> quaal: you need to run it as root
[10:12] <quaal> hm
[10:12] <Randomtime> have you guys seen this: http://www.degredo.net/
[10:12] <winston> !beryl
[10:12] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[10:12] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix: Did you get that pastbin?
[10:12] <Stormx2> quaal: chmod +x jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
[10:12] <alex_mayorga> LiENUS: sudo reconfigure xorg or something like that
[10:12] <LiENUS> beryl rocks heh
[10:12] <juano__> quaal: try Stormx2 suggestion, sudo chmod +x ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
[10:12] <LiENUS> alenax, i figured it out

[10:12] <winston> beryl seems to hate my gfx card though :)
[10:12] <juano__> quaal: sorry no ./ with that one
[10:13] <quaal> ok
[10:13] <quaal> Stormx2, thanks
[10:13] <quaal> that worked
[10:13] <manaf123> i used startx -- :1 it worked the 1st time, now its not working, it just opens a new session, but nothing loadsup
[10:13] <wireful9001> how can you get into the partion editor? I did i before I installed it, but now I can't find it
[10:13] <Stormx2> quaal: No prob. That error is a little misleading.
[10:13] <quaal> i agree
[10:13] <facefaceface> after re-installing networkmanager should I restart X?
[10:13] <facefaceface> log in / out?
[10:13] <Randomtime> !gpartid
[10:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gpartid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:13] <quaal> now i'm entering through java's license agreement
[10:13] <kps_> alex_mayorga, e where?
[10:13] <Jowi> wireful9001, sudo gparted
[10:13] <Randomtime> !gparted
[10:13] <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
[10:13] <juano__> Azeqss: yes, just as i imagined
[10:13] <quaal> and i have to be careful not to press enter on some shit after it
[10:13] <Stormx2> manaf123: I don't think you can have two X sessions running at once, surely?
[10:13] <juano__> Azeqss: everything is fine there
[10:13] <mikeo1> heh got it to work with usermod -g admin mike
[10:14] <juano__> Azeqss: lets start from scratch
[10:14] <kps_> if i put e in grub prompt it completes it to 'embed'
[10:14] <mikeo1> somehow got removed from the admin group
[10:14] <Azeqss> juano__, pfft, this is really odd
[10:14] <alex_mayorga> kps_: pres e while in grub to edit the commands
[10:14] <juano__> Azeqss: restart your live cd
[10:14] <manaf123> Stormx2: actuly u can, i just did it, but now its not working
[10:14] <kps_> it says "Error 27: Unrecognized command"
[10:14] <juano__> quaal: worked now ?
[10:14] <bonez> whats a good virus scanner for ubuntu
[10:14] <Stormx2> manaf123: Why? So you can run 2 different DEs at once?
[10:14] <facefaceface> dang... "apt-get update" is failing
[10:14] <facefaceface> W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[10:14] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: wow...there's so many floppy errors that you're USB errors have been wiped off the file.  Are you haveing trouble with ALL USB devices or just drives, etc? (also, please respong w/ my full name in the message. my client will alert me to your response that way)
[10:14] <quaal> juano__,  yes thanks.. just going through license agreement
[10:14] <Stormx2> bonez: Unless you're getting user uploads etc, you don't need to worry about viruses
[10:14] <juano__> quaal: i believe if that doesnt work, you will have to activate the root account
[10:14] <Azeqss> juano__, oke, and what to click ? start or install ubunto || or || safe graphic settings
[10:14] <Asc> manaf123: try doing 'gdmflexisserver' from in the running X session instead of startx.
[10:14] <juano__> quaal: ahh ok
[10:15] <juano__> quaal: great nevermind last message
[10:15] <facefaceface> ug.. dhcp is a pain
[10:15] <manaf123> Asc: k,
[10:15] <juano__> Azeqss: start or install ubuntu
[10:15] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: It's all usb devices, drives, mice etc
[10:15] <quaal> juano__, is there a faster way to get through the license agreement than entering through
[10:15] <quaal> line by line
[10:15] <manaf123> Asc: didnt work :
[10:15] <facefaceface> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:15] <kps_> the could have some list or ls or something which would show the devices
[10:15] <juano__> quaal: backspace maybe
[10:15] <Stormx2> quaal: No.
[10:15] <sdac221x_> when my battery goes low i get a loud annoying beep, which is particularly ear damaging when i have earphones connected.  how can i change this annoying sound ?  thanks
[10:15] <juano__> quaal: or pagedown
[10:15] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: did it work before, or has it never worked?
[10:16] <Asc> manaf123: funky.  Change anything recently?
[10:16] <mrti1> Any way to add 32 bit apt repositories to a 64 aptitude to install 32 bit apps as well as 32 bit ones?
[10:16] <alex_mayorga> kps_: give http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org a whirl
[10:16] <Stormx2> sdac221x_: System > Preferences > Sounds
[10:16] <toyo|lappy> Stormx2, do you happen to know the URL in the wiki that tells how to enable universe
[10:16] <sdac221x_> im in xubuntu edgy
[10:16] <Stormx2> !universe
[10:16] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[10:16] <NeoMatrixJR24> decherdtt: I don't think it's using a generic ide. dmesg indicates PDC202XX
[10:16] <bonez> if someone is not busy I could use some help
[10:16] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Check out that link.
[10:16] <EdgEy> ok, i managed to unmount /cdrom
[10:16] <toyo|lappy> ok
[10:16] <Randomtime> NeoMartixJR24: It's worked on windows and breefly on another virsion of Linux that I was about to install but chose Ubuntu instead, it hasn't worked on knoppix or ubuntu
[10:16] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:17] <manaf123> Asc: i jsut installed beryl but for some reason i keep on getting a white screen whenever i start beryl, i dont know what to do, so i wanna show the guys at #beryl the error msg,
[10:17] <kps_> alex_mayorga, i already have grub on my master boot record, i just don't know what the devices are called in grub
[10:17] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: what type of computer are you using? and which version of ubuntu?
[10:17] <Stormx2> bonez: Ask your question.
[10:17] <wireful9001> that didn't work
[10:17] <EdgEy> and then mount -o loop ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso /cdrom
[10:17] <alex_mayorga> kps_: do you see a list of OS's in grub?
[10:17] <EdgEy> seems to mount, but the cdrom still spins up when it's used. it doesn't use the image.
[10:18] <facefaceface> any chan for networkmanager?
[10:18] <bonez> I installed bit defender but its not in my applications
[10:18] <kps_> alex_mayorga, well there are in the menu.lst some linux boot options
[10:18] <Stormx2> EdgEy: Do you not have a GUI?
[10:18] <juano__> EdgEy: you want to mount an iso ?
[10:18] <bonez> im very new to ubuntu
[10:18] <kps_> there /dev/sda1 is called (hd0,0)
[10:18] <kps_> but i'd like to know what /dev/hda is
[10:18] <kps_> or /dev/hda1
[10:18] <EdgEy> i need to unmount the bootable ubuntu cd and mount the image on my hdd in its place, since my cd is corrupt and i have no way of reburning it
[10:18] <Stormx2> bonez: Crack open a terminal and run "bitdefender" or whatever.
[10:19] <EdgEy> i'm running from the bootable cd now
[10:19] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: ubuntu 6.06, I'm using a time PC that came out in the early days of XP, I can't remember the accual model number and I can't find it on the computer
[10:19] <kps_> i can see whether it likes (hd1,0)
[10:19] <bonez> do i even need a virus scanner
[10:19] <juano__> kps_: i believe /dev/hda is hd0 and /dev/hda1 is hd0,1  , at least on mine its called like that
[10:19] <Asc> manaf123: Is beryl running while you're trying to start a new X session?
[10:19] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: I have 4 USB ports and none work
[10:19] <Stormx2> juano__: No
[10:19] <juano__> Stormx2: ?
[10:19] <Stormx2> juano__: Wait, yes.
[10:19] <EdgEy> Stormx2: i have a GUI yes gnome is running
[10:19] <Stormx2> juano__: haha sorry, misread.
[10:19] <bonez> cmd not found
[10:19] <manaf123> Asc: no its not, im trying to start beryl on that new x session with the screen command to capture the error msg
[10:20] <juano__> Stormx2: heheh lol, this happened to me 2 times today with someone else
[10:20] <alex_mayorga> kps_: on the OS selection of grub you can press e to edit the options, move to one of the hd places and press tab there it would tell you what it knows
[10:20] <Stormx2> EdgEy: You way want to use k3b, that is a very good burniner.
[10:20] <facefaceface> dang - purged reinstall and network manager is still broke...
[10:20] <dawntreader> zenmonk, I think you are out of luck - looks like you will have to manipulate first and then bring into OO
[10:20] <morrolan> Is there a way to manage multiple wifi connections in Gnome?  I don't want to have to keep changing WEP keys!
[10:20] <EdgEy> Stormx2: i don't think i can use it since i only have one dvd-rom drive
[10:20] <EdgEy> and the bootable cd is running from that
[10:20] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: do you know what type of chipset it has controling the USB? (VIA, INTEL, etc)  or if there's any way you can restart the system and get me a fresh dmesg w/o all the floppy errs I can help.  I think ububtu just doesn't recognize your usb
[10:20] <facefaceface> morrolan, yup, a nice tool called network manager
[10:20] <Gabby_Hayes> Howdy
[10:20] <gpm> hey all, what do you guys do with empty ink cartridges?
[10:20] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: Ok i'll reboot
[10:21] <juano__> bonez: no virus in linux lol... really
[10:21] <Stormx2> bonez: Open up synaptic. Find your bitdefender package. Right click > properties. Go to installed files. Go thru the files until you see one with "bin" in the name, and run the big after the final slash
[10:21] <facefaceface> gpm, say 'hello empty ink cartridge'
[10:21] <Gabby_Hayes> gpm there are recycling places
[10:21] <Asc> manaf123: Okay.  I have no experience whatsoever with beryl, but if there's an error it should be in a log somewhere.
[10:21] <Stormx2> s/big/bit/g
[10:21] <juano__> bonez: almost none lol
[10:21] <EdgEy> rm 'empty ink cartridge'
[10:21] <up365> gpm: they make great targets for .22
[10:21] <bonez> k kool i wont worry about it then
[10:21] <Azeqss> juano__, allright, restarted
[10:21] <juano__> Azeqss: ok, your in ?
[10:21] <bonez> thank you
[10:21] <morrolan> facefaceface - I installed Network-Manager-Gnome, and nm-applet has started and shows in "Sessions", but it didn't actually start or appear on my panel?
[10:21] <gpm> up365: nice
[10:21] <alex_mayorga> any bluetooth channel??
[10:22] <manaf123> Asc: yeah i cant find that, i just wanna start a new x session to record that error
[10:22] <mikeo1> how do i change the default sound device used ubuntu
[10:22] <mikeo1> it is using the wrong device
[10:22] <facefaceface> morrolan networkmanager-gnome?
[10:22] <Asc> manaf123: If I had to guess, I'd say that you can't run beryl and other sessions at the same time... I hear you can't run fullscreen games in beryl either.
[10:22] <Azeqss> juano__, yep
[10:22] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo mkdir /mnt/myhdd
[10:22] <Stormx2> mikeo1: Sound device? You have multiple soundcards?
[10:22] <mikeo1> yes
[10:22] <facefaceface> alex_mayorga #bluetooth?
[10:22] <exwhyzed> I installed madwifi through the pacakage manager, but my wireless card is still not recognized. can anyone help?
[10:22] <Asc> manaf123: tried /ver/log/Xorg.0.log?
[10:22] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/myhdd
[10:22] <Asc> */var
[10:22] <up365> gpm: seriously never had any luck with refilled so I just buy new
[10:22] <mikeo1> if i manually set it in xmms it works but for all the system sounds it doesnt
[10:22] <Cybercop> can anyone point me to a how to on making samba work on 6.10 so i can resolve hostnames using nbns? google is kinda letting me down
[10:22] <EdgEy> cdrecord gives me the error: Error trying to open /dev/cdrw exclusively
[10:22] <kps_> alex_mayorga, juano__ it seems like /dev/sda1 is (hd0,0) and /dev/hda is (hd1,0)
[10:23] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: BIOS says onchip USB controler, I'm rebooting
[10:23] <kps_> thanks for the help, this should work now
[10:23] <morrolan> facefaceface - yeah
[10:23] <juano__> kps_: could be, if SATA is on 1
[10:23] <facefaceface> morrolan, working?
[10:23] <juano__> kps_: on SATA 1 i mean
[10:23] <Stormx2> mikeo1: You're using alsa yeah? Check the documentation
[10:23] <mikeo1> Stormx2: if i manually set it in xmms it works but for all the system sounds it doesnt
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> heh thanks Stormx2 that was pretty easy
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:23] <mikeo1> yeah whatever is default for ubuntu
[10:23] <kps_> juano__, well it boots linux from that, so i know it is right
[10:23] <mikeo1> alsa
[10:23] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Got it installed now?
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> yep
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:24] <Stormx2> Good stuff, well done
[10:24] <kps_> leaving, thanks
[10:24] <morrolan> facefaceface - I can't tell, nothing has appeared on my panel, only in sessions where "nm-applet" shows.  My wifi is working though.
[10:24] <juano__> Azeqss: after the above 2 commands, do this>    sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb
[10:24] <Cybercop> the ubuntu box can see the windows boxes if i use ip, but not if i use host name. wireshark shows that windows boxes are using nbns to do it, but ubuntu only tries dns?
[10:24] <morrolan> facefaceface - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4019/  that is the pastebin of the results of apt
[10:24] <faceface> morrolan, to be honest I don't know how to get it in the pannel
[10:25] <faceface> I just re-installed it for my own reasons, and it dutifully dissapeared and reappeared
[10:25] <toyo|lappy> running 2 instances of ubuntu server inside of gentoo with vmware
[10:25] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:25] <morrolan> faceface - how do I manage it then?  I think Network-Manager-Gnome is the front-end for Network-Manager
[10:25] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Haha, why?!
[10:25] <faceface> morrolan, try networkmanager-applet
[10:25] <unop> Cybercop,  NetBIOS is a windows specific thing, *nix boxes dont tend to use it unless they have samba (winbind) running
[10:26] <Azeqss> juano__,  f**, get error stage 1 not read
[10:26] <faceface> morrolan, also you may check the manual to see if it does what you need
[10:26] <blackduck3> When I turn on my Powerbook G4 laptop running the Ubuntu operating system, how do I automatically connect to the internet and hold the connection for as long as I am using the laptop. As it is I have to open the Wireless Assistant LAN manager and double click it to tell it to connect, and then once I am on the connection drops out if I am not using my web browser.
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> Stormx2, setting up a virtual network
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> test bed
[10:26] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Whatever floats your boat I guess...
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> :)
[10:26] <Cybercop> unop, thank you. so i just need winbind.
[10:26] <juano__> Azeqss: please check that the command is well typed, ------> 2 dashes before root  --root-directory
[10:26] <Azeqss> yup
[10:26] <unop> Cybercop,  well, you probably also need the other samba services winbind depends on
[10:27] <fatbrain> Where's msttcorefonts package?
[10:27] <morrolan> faceface - in "Sessions", it shows "nm-applet -sm-disable"
[10:27] <bonez> Stormx2 no bin in any of the files
[10:27] <unop> Cybercop,  in otherwords -- you need samba
[10:27] <juano__> Azeqss: ls -a /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub | grep stage
[10:27] <Cybercop> unop, ok, looking it up. that helps a lot
[10:27] <Stormx2> bonez: Really?
[10:27] <faceface> morrolan, I can't really help - I need to restart X ... l8r
[10:27] <Stormx2> bonez: What is it, a bittorrent client? Use azureus...
[10:27] <blackduck3> can anyone help me please ?
[10:27] <bonez> unless im doing something wrong
[10:27] <Enselic> Where can I find documentation of Option MonitorLayout for xorg.conf?
[10:28] <mothas_> Anybody have problems booting with edgy & software raid?
[10:28] <dawntreader> fatbrain, try www.ubuntuguide.org
[10:28] <Stormx2> blackduck3: That sounds odd, firefox keeps your internet connection alive?
[10:28] <Azeqss> juano__, there are 8 things in a list
[10:28] <bonez> Stormx2 its an antivirus.....but I was told not even to worry about a antivirus
[10:28] <blackduck3> It is like it times out
[10:28] <juano__> Azeqss: ls -a /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub | grep stage1
[10:29] <Yodude> hey why don'yt i see my partitions icons in Places-Computer when using Edgy?
[10:29] <Stormx2> bonez: Well if you're not accepting user uploads then don't.
[10:29] <quaal> hey juano__  i did ./javabin from my desktop, now i have a jre1.5.0_10 directory on the destktop. is that just the install folder or is that where java was installed ?
[10:29] <bonez> k kool
[10:29] <Enselic> blackduck3: have you tried setting it in SYstem -> dministration -> networking=
[10:29] <Stormx2> Yodude: Are they mounted?
[10:29] <bonez> stormx2 kool tks
[10:29] <Yodude> yes i found out how to mount them on Edgy
[10:29] <Enselic> Does anyone know where XFree86 is documented?
[10:29] <juano__> quaal: probably where it installed, did you specify dir ?
[10:29] <fatbrain> dawntreader, "Package msttcorefonts is not available, but is referred to by another package." when I do as it sais in the guide
[10:29] <quaal> no i didnt
[10:29] <quaal> goofed
[10:29] <Azeqss> juano__, the same list without stage2
[10:29] <quaal> where is it supposed to go ?
[10:30] <fatbrain> dawntreader, I have both multiverse and universe enabled
[10:30] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: http://www.pastebin.ca/339118
[10:30] <Yodude> so?
[10:30] <juano__> quaal: well the thing is you installed it as user, i was gonna tell you to install it as root , but since sudo didnt do the trick maybe activating the root account would
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: GNOME may not have updated yet then
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: When I mount stuff GNOME doesn't notice.
[10:31] <Yodude> i'm on LiveCD not installation
[10:31] <quaal> juano__, i did su root
[10:31] <juano__> quaal: but i dont think there is a problem with that dir being there
[10:31] <quaal> and put in root password
[10:31] <denardo> !pilot
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: Right
[10:31] <Randomtime> yodude: install
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pilot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <juano__> quaal: you logged in as root now ?
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: If you need to access them just go to where you mounted them
[10:31] <quaal> juano__,  not in gnome as root
[10:32] <Ricket> [6.10]  I set up a shared folder with the Shared Folder program under the Administration section of the menus. However I can't access it with my Windows computer - it asks for username and password, and nothing works. How do I manage the users of shared folders?
[10:32] <quaal> just in the terminal i did that before doing the ./
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: no, from terminal i mean
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: ok good, so you installed it as root
[10:32] <mikeo1> hmmm my sound got all screwed up after i installed amarok
[10:32] <lufis> Can I dist-upgrade to Feisty before the official release? I'm hungry for some beta
[10:32] <mikeo1> i bet it messed it up
[10:32] <quaal> so do i just copy this jre directory somewhere (where it should be)
[10:32] <unperson> I have an installation script for a piece of software.  When i try to run it with 'sudo ./MathInstaller' I get "bash: ./MathInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"
[10:32] <Yodude> but in dapper when i used to go to Places-Computer i used to see them? why don't i in Edgy? theis is a step backward in the developpeent of ubuntu you know
[10:32] <quaal> kind of ugly on the destkop
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: lol, what you got in that dir ?
[10:32] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: http://www.pastebin.ca/339118
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: everything ?
[10:32] <unperson> Doh!
[10:32] <quaal> juano__,  bin, javaws, lib, man, plugin
[10:33] <denardo> Hi, folks. I'm trying to use a Sony Clie with gnome-pilot. Any have any experience with this?
[10:33] <quaal> juano__, changes, copyright, license, readme, thirdpartylicensereadme
[10:33] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: got it...checking
[10:33] <Ricket> Can someone do one of those bot commands so that I can get links to information about Ubuntu SMB (shared folders) features?
[10:33] <quaal> juano__,  maybe this is just the install files that the bin extracted ?
[10:33] <denardo> !smb
[10:33] <blackduck3> In my network settings under wireless connection tab - now what do I do?
[10:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:33] <juano__> quaal: mm yeah , seems to have been put on the desktop, well you can try moving it ... yea
[10:33] <stephen_> what screencapturing device would you guys recomend
[10:33] <dawntreader> fatbrain, I've got more than that and it is coming up in my synaptic
[10:33] <denardo> !samba
[10:33] <Yodude> they should do something about this in 7.04
[10:33] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[10:33] <Ricket> well I shoulda guessed... thanks! :)
[10:33] <juano__> quaal: try a ls -a /usr/lib | grep java
[10:34] <unperson> Sorry,  what I meant to say is that if I do 'sudo ./MathInstaller' I get "sudo: unable to execute ./MathInstaller: Permission denied".  When I use sudo -s first I get "bash: ./MathInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied".
[10:34] <juano__> quaal: if its in the usr dir thats where it should install
[10:34] <Azeqss> juano__, what now ?
[10:34] <juano__> quaal: globaly, cause you installed as root
[10:34] <juano__> Azeqss: mm... no luck with that
[10:34] <fatbrain> dawntreader, got the .deb from debian repository, so problem solved :-)
[10:34] <blackduck3> Why can't I hold a wireless connection?
[10:34] <juano__> quaal: i believe moving those files wont harm jre installation
[10:34] <unperson> Is it just that the script wants /bin/sh and that doesn't really exist?  Can I fix this easily by changing #! /bin/sh to bash or some other shell or will that likely cause problems?
[10:35] <Enselic> I need to run xorg -configure, but how do I shut down X without it restarting?
[10:35] <quaal> juano__, hmm now i'm getting a su: authentication failure
[10:35] <DiOXiN> I need to install some drivers to my soundcard, it does'nt work! (Sound Blaster Audigy SL) I wrote sudo modprobe snd-audigyls and snd-ca0106 and so on.. but nothing happens!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((8
[10:35] <quaal> i swear it let me in with my password last time
[10:35] <blackduck3> It seems to drop out when I am not browsing
[10:35] <quaal> if i didnt activate root as you said i'll have to do that first i guess?
[10:35] <Asc> Enselic: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[10:35] <juano__> Azeqss: mm could you pastebin me the exact output of the error when you try the grub-install ??
[10:35] <Flannel> !sound | DiOXiN
[10:35] <ubotu> DiOXiN: 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
[10:35] <esc-> beryl works with gnome (ubuntu) correct?
[10:36] <juano__> !root | quaal
[10:36] <ubotu> quaal: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[10:36] <morrolan> Can anyone help me get the Network-Manager panel applet running?
[10:36] <blackduck3> My internet connection keeps cutting out when I am not using my web browser
[10:36] <esc-> beryl works with gnome (ubuntu) correct?
[10:36] <unop> unperson,  in most cases /bin/sh and /bin/bash are interchangeable because they are closely related .. but there are certain specifics to bash that dont apply to sh .. so it's a matter of try-and-see
[10:37] <blackduck3> What can I do to fix it?
[10:37] <Azeqss> juano__, Grub loading stage 1.5 (next line) GRUB loading, please wait... (nl) error 21
[10:37] <tsmithe> DiOXiN, pm
[10:37] <unperson> unop, Ok.  I guess I'll give it a try.  Mainly I was wondering if there was some special shell to use for closest compatibility with sh.
[10:37] <juano__> Azeqss: are you putting these commands in ubuntu@ubuntu  ?? right ?
[10:37] <blackduck3> wireless - internet - dropping out - why????
[10:37] <DiOXiN> ubotu: I tried all that but I know whats wrong! I need drivers, and I know which drivers but I cannot install them. The links can't help me!
[10:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i tried all that but i know whats wrong! i need drivers, and i know which drivers but i cannot install them. the links can't help me! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:38] <Azeqss> juano__, yes
[10:38] <tsmithe> DiOXiN, ubotu is a bot
[10:38] <sacater> how do i integrate xfce into ubuntu
[10:38] <kiwinz_sucks> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ?
[10:38] <denardo> !wine
[10:38] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:38] <siikah> does anyone know of a way to make a certain app (i.e. mp3 player) have a different sound volume? It'd be nice to have the mp3player to have a lower volume than other apps (like im and such). this to be able to play music while "alerts" be noticable
[10:38] <tsmithe> sacater, sudo apt-get install xfce4 (or for xubuntu, xubuntu-desktop)
[10:38] <juano__> Azeqss: i meant the error when you run sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb
[10:39] <unop> unperson,  bash is derived from sh .. sh is/wass the "bourne" shell while bash is the "bourne again" shell
[10:39] <blackduck3> Why is my wireless internet connection cutting out
[10:39] <morrolan> Can anyone please help me get the Network-Manager panel applet running? Network-Manager is running, but the applet isn't?
[10:39] <riotkittie> morrolan: nm-applet < did you execute that?
[10:39] <kiwinz_sucks> morrolan, do you have network-manager-gnome installed?
[10:39] <blackduck3> when i am not browsing
[10:39] <riotkittie> errrr nm
[10:39] <riotkittie> forget i said taht, morrolan
[10:39] <unop> morrolan,  you can always terminate the running process
[10:39] <Azeqss> juano__, file / / / / /stage2 not read correctly
[10:39] <morrolan> kiwinz_sucks - yes I do have it installed.
[10:39] <quaal> juano__, thank you
[10:39] <sacater> tsmi the: and how do i use it
[10:39] <Azeqss> juano__, between the / root and mnt and something like that
[10:40] <sacater> tsmithe: and how do i use it
[10:40] <axa-axa> Hello. I've installed Beryl, and I've put `beryl` and `bery-manager` into gnome's startup list, but how should I start Xgl (xserver-xgl) which I've also installed?
[10:40] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: I don't see anything dealing with loading a USB driver (host controller).  It's possible that your USB is damaged, or not recognized by ubuntu.
[10:40] <kiwinz_sucks> i know the applet has been buggy for some people
[10:40] <morrolan> riotkittie - nm-applet is running, and in Sessions it appears as "nm-applet --sm-disable"
[10:40] <tsmithe> sacater, err
[10:40] <blackduck3> I guess no one is going to help me in here
[10:40] <tsmithe> by using it?
[10:40] <kiwinz_sucks> do a search, you'll find a number of threads about it
[10:40] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: You could possibly check with someone else how you might try and recompile your kernel with proper drivers for your system, or add a recognizable usb controller
[10:40] <tsmithe> blackduck3, it's always busy :) perhaps people just don't know
[10:40] <unop> blackduck3,  whats the matter?
[10:40] <juano__> quaal: no prob :-)
[10:40] <blackduck3> My internet connection is dropping out
[10:40] <quaal> juano__,  so now i need to uninstall java ?
[10:41] <blackduck3> wireless
[10:41] <quaal> then reinstall as root ?
[10:41] <sacater> once i have xfce through package manager, how do i use it in ubuntu
[10:41] <blackduck3> when I am not browsing
[10:41] <juano__> quaal: mmm no, i would login as root and run the bin from there
[10:41] <kiwinz_sucks> sacater, when you log in, click on Session
[10:41] <sacater> kk
[10:41] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: I'm not too clear on rebuilding a ubuntu kernel yet, so I won't be much help there
[10:41] <kiwinz_sucks> and choose XFCE instead of Gnome
[10:41] <blackduck3> is there a setting I need to set?
[10:41] <quaal> ok
[10:41] <quaal> juano__,  and what is the proper place to put java /usr/lib yo usaid ?
[10:41] <DC_ubuntu> can anyone help me find a driver for a hitachi travelstar?
[10:41] <unop> blackduck3,  are you using ndiswrapper and windows drivers?
[10:41] <Azeqss> juano__, i give up, i've been trying now for 7 hours, now booting from windows cd
[10:42] <sacater> kiwinz_sucks: do you know of any problewms that arise when doing this
[10:42] <mikeo1> my user rights got messed up or something...
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: lol try this
[10:42] <blackduck3> I am new to Ubuntu
[10:42] <blackduck3> so I am not sure
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: overwrite with windows mbr
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: then try to reinstall grub like we did
[10:42] <Azeqss> how ?
[10:42] <mikeo1> synopic or add remove programs is no longer available to me when i long on
[10:42] <shadowhywind> Anyone have any idea how to recovery data from an unpartition space that some how managed to get deleted
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: boot from windows XP CD now
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: select start recovery console
[10:42] <mikeo1> how do i give myself access again?
[10:42] <quaal> juano__, i should run ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin /usr/lib ?
[10:42] <unop> blackduck3,  ok, it's likely you arent, because you would know if you were using ndiswrapper
[10:42] <dawntreader> fatbrain, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Microsoft%20Fonts
[10:43] <juano__> quaal: no
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> nope, XFCE should work fine
[10:43] <juano__> quaal: only ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
[10:43] <blackduck3> how do I get it?
[10:43] <jenda> Quiz in #ubuntu-trivia in a few minutes! Prize for winner: Ubuntu (K/X/Edu) stickers!
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> again, install xubuntu-desktop instead of just xfce, and you'll be better off
[10:43] <quaal> juano__,  ok
[10:43] <elyon225> How would I go about converting a .daa to .iso?
[10:43] <unop> blackduck3,  and you sure this doesnt happen when you are browsing or when the connection is in use?
[10:43] <quaal> juano__, so this is going to put it on the desktop again correct? (the .bin is on the desktop)
[10:43] <mikeo1> is there a system restore for ubuntu?
[10:44] <axa-axa> I've installed Beryl on Ubuntu, and I start it automatically by puting `beryl` and `beryl-manger` into Gnome's autostartup program list, but how should I start Xgl (Xserver-xgl)?
[10:44] <quaal> mikeo1, not that i know of.
[10:44] <mikeo1> cause it was working yesterday and now its all screwed up
[10:44] <sacater> kiwinz_sucks: sacater, when you log in, click on Session
[10:44] <juano__> quaal: it is possible, i would move the bin to another folder first
[10:44] <Yodude> hey another question, when i sign in to MSN in GAIM is suddenly quits! even when using Edgy!
[10:44] <sacater> kiwinz_sucks: do you know of any problems that come from this
[10:44] <juano__> quaal: move it to home dir
[10:44] <blackduck3> When I am not using the web browser that is when it happens, then I have to reconnect or restart the computer. It is like it forgets the IP address.
[10:44] <kiwinz_sucks> i don't know any, no
[10:44] <Azeqss> juano__,  i now have black screen, where i can type like in a console (c:\windows>)
[10:44] <juano__> quaal: users home dir
[10:44] <Yodude> why is that and how can it be fixeD?
[10:44] <quaal> juano__, ok
[10:44] <Enselic``> xorg.conf is killing me. Isn't there a wizard for that file?
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> mike01 what did you do that killed your install?
[10:45] <Flannel> Enselic``: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:45] <mikeo1> i rebooted and all my sound cards dissappeared, and i no longer have synoptic or add remove programs available to me
[10:45] <juano__> Azeqss: check pm message
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> i've never heard of that before.  there's no ssytem restore, but rebuilding only takes about 35 minutes
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> you should make an image of your partition after you install it
[10:45] <mikeo1> then wont i lose everything?
[10:45] <Yodude> help please!
[10:46] <qShadowp> Im looking at this guide for installing Xgl and it says i could just apt get it all, what do i need to type for that?
[10:46] <unop> blackduck3,  errm, well, you have to be sure that it is "forgetting" the ip address -- because it's really no good supposing -- is the wireless card a USB device?
[10:46] <kiwinz_sucks> yes, but you can back up your data
[10:46] <mikeo1> gstreamer was not found
[10:46] <juano__> quaal: after that just run the bin once in the dir as root
[10:46] <kiwinz_sucks> qShadowp, look at ubuntuguide.org and it will walk you through XGL and Beryl
[10:46] <quaal> juano__,  i moved the .bin to the home dir and ran ./javabin as root
[10:46] <Flannel> qShadowp: #ubuntu-effects has a guide in their topic
[10:46] <quaal> and i have this jre1.5.0_10 directory in the home dir now
[10:47] <qShadowp> thanks
[10:47] <juano__> quaal: ok, yea it extracts the files there
[10:47] <prower> Hello :> Anyone know how I'd go about setting the kernel timer resolution to a higher value? Rosegarden is complaining, haha
[10:47] <quaal> juano__,  ok so these are just the installation files
[10:47] <blackduck3> U have to understand that I am new to Ubuntu and this computer, so for your question, I don't know
[10:47] <juano__> quaal: better in another dir then on desktop :P
[10:47] <quaal> and can be deleted
[10:47] <kiwinz_sucks> kernel timer resolution?
[10:47] <cyberyak> on the ubuntu alternate cd, does the install in text mode or oem mode allow me to select packages, or shall I just start with command line only?
[10:47] <juano__> quaal: i think so yes
[10:47] <quaal> juano__,  thanks so much
[10:47] <Flannel> quaal: why aren't you just installing the java in the repositories?
[10:47] <prower> kiwinz_sucks: All it says is that the kernel timer resolution is too low for MIDI, not sure what it means either
[10:47] <quaal> Flannel,  its an older version
[10:48] <quaal> Flannel,  if you mean apt-get by the repositories ?
[10:48] <juano__> quaal: no problem :-) anytime
[10:48] <axa-axa> Can someone PLEASE tel me how to start xserver-xgl with Beryl?
[10:48] <Flannel> axa-axa: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support, thanks.
[10:48] <quaal> apt-get gives version 1.4, java site gives 1.5
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> axa-- follow the instruction on ubuntuguide.org on how to install xgl and beryl
[10:48] <mikeo1> how come all the stuff in my system-> administration menu dissappeared?
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> xgl doesn't need to "start"
[10:48] <juano__> quaal: remember when you install as root your installing globaly if it goes in usr
[10:48] <gnomefreak> axa-axa: there is a problem with it please down grade you packages
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> it just needs to be included in your xorg.conf
[10:48] <juano__> Azeqss:
[10:48] <Yodude> hey btw does anyone khere know banshee?
[10:48] <quaal> juano__,  right
[10:48] <quaal> thats fine.. java can be used globally
[10:48] <blackduck3> the wireless card is built into the G4 laptop, does that answer the question?
[10:48] <Yodude> hello!!!
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> banshee sucks.  use listen
[10:48] <Enselic``> Flannel: it didn't ask me about myltihead settup :(
[10:48] <Yodude> can anyone help here!?
[10:49] <axa-axa> gnomefreak: with what? Xserver-xgl or Beryl?
[10:49] <juano__> quaal: good then :-)
[10:49] <Enselic``> Yodude: whats your problem?
[10:49] <Flannel> cyberyak: OEM will install a default desktop install, that you can customize before sending to your enduser for final setup, normal setup will install the normal desktop, the 'server' option on the alternate CD will install a minimal (CLI only) install, which you can then add onto
[10:49] <gnomefreak> axa-axa: join me in #ubuntu-effects
[10:49] <Flannel> !dualhead | Enselic``

[10:50] <mikeo1> xmms no longer has any sound cards available
[10:50] <mikeo1> in alsa
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> i used to freak out when my sound stopped workin after a reboot, but it was just a setting in the sound manager

[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> what's your sound card
[10:51] <kiwinz_sucks> is is listed as dsp?
[10:51] <mikeo1> while before dsp wasnt working
[10:51] <blackduck3> I guess I will go back to windows OS to support Bill Gates if no one is going to help me in this 'support' forum
[10:51] <juano__> Azeqss: ok , go to that wndow
[10:51] <juano__> Azeqss: to that window
[10:51] <mikeo1> so i did some stuff to try to fix it and now no sound works
[10:51] <mikeo1> its nforce4 onboard sound
[10:51] <Yodude> 1: why does GAIM quit unexpectedly in EDGy evrytime i connect to msn (well after i talk a bit actually)?
[10:51] <Yodude> 2: can banshee be downloaded as a single package and not as a repository package?
[10:51] <Yodude> 3: it seems that my FAT32 partition is somehow a part of another partition ( that's what i saw in Gparted) can i still resize it when installing?
[10:51] <Yodude> thanks
[10:51] <mikeo1> but i have 2 tv cards
[10:52] <ran> how can i register irc://irc.xxx.xxx urls so that firefox opens it with xchat?
[10:52] <kiwinz_sucks> well i don't know what you did to try to get dsp to acknowledge it
[10:52] <kiwinz_sucks> but it sounds like it's something you messed up when you were playing with stuff
[10:52] <cyberyak> ok, mental note: Don't detect the keyboard--select it manually.
[10:52] <mikeo1> while i removed amarok and i think thats what screwed it up
[10:52] <sacater> if anyone wants xfce, just go into terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install xfce4' this will take care of dependencies, and to run it, simply go to 'change session' at the login window, and choose xfce!!!!!!!! IT ROCKS!!!!!!
[10:52] <gkffyji> I corrupted the files that allow the x desktop to interface with the hardwear, and now when i boot my computer i get into the terminal window and when i try to enter startx it returns an error
[10:53] <mikeo1> cause when i installed amarok it partly messed it up, and then when i removed it it messed it up even more
[10:53] <LonerVamp> did xfce get your laid or something?
[10:53] <LonerVamp> you*
[10:53] <gkffyji> what is the command to rebuild this?
[10:53] <juano__> Azeqss: you there ?
[10:53] <blackduck3> Forget it
[10:53] <mikeo1> i think its all a permissions problem
[10:53] <Azeqss> juano__, yeah, typing to you whole time :s strange :s
[10:53] <kiwinz_sucks> mikeo1, i have no idea.  taht sounds really weird, because installing amarok doesn't change any config files
[10:53] <Norf-ubu> hey i'm xfce4'ing now - i hope she's cheap
[10:54] <juano__> Azeqss: register your nick
[10:54] <mikeo1> because when i open tvtime i get permission denied, cannot open /dev/video0
[10:54] <blackduck3> is there a HELP LINE!
[10:54] <Asc> blackduck3: guess what? it's a free operating system and we're volunteers.  Whinging doesn't make people want to help you.
[10:54] <godtvisken> I installed postresql with apt-get.. Does this create a security risk because I was root? I am reading something that there should be a postres user?
[10:54] <mikeo1> and all the admin tools dissappeared
[10:54] <kiwinz_sucks> that's because the folder is (since dapper came out) a root folder
[10:54] <mikeo1> think ill try logging on as root to see if it works
[10:55] <blackduck3> FFS What does make people want to help u
[10:55] <blackduck3> ?

[10:56] <juano__>  blackduck3what seems to be the problem ?
[10:56] <sdac221x_> i have an flv video file that only plays on a certain windows flv player... when i try to play it with ubuntu the only prog that opens it with sound is VLC but it always stops halfway.   is there a player for linux that is as universal as windows flv players are ?
[10:56] <kiwinz_sucks> his wireless is randomly "cutting out"
[10:56] <Flannel> sdac221x_: are you running flash9?
[10:56] <mikeo1> how come i cant log in as root?
[10:56] <mikeo1> the pass and username are correct
[10:56] <quaal> juano__,  what is the final step, master ?
[10:56] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  how can i check.
[10:56] <Chilliwack> i don't know what happened, as it wouldn't before, but ubuntu somehow automatically mounted both my windows partition and cd drive!
[10:56] <themachine> mikeol type sudo su
[10:56] <kiwinz_sucks> mikeo1 you have to enable it
[10:56] <Norf-ubu> sdac221x_: i found that VLC media player fits most of my needs
[10:56] <mikeo1> is it disabled by default or something
[10:56] <Azeqss> juano__, you get my messages now ?
[10:56] <godtvisken> Is there a command like `su' but for changing to anther regular user?
[10:56] <Flannel> sdac221x_: how did you install flash?
[10:56] <mikeo1> no i mean a full x session
[10:57] <kiwinz_sucks> yes it's disabled by default
[10:57] <mikeo1> adduser root?
[10:57] <ompaul> godtvisken, that is su, su - username
[10:57] <Flannel> godtvisken: ubuntu doesn't use su, we use sudo.  And you can use sudo.
[10:57] <LonerVamp> I like to blame random internet connectivity on the hackers
[10:57] <kiwinz_sucks> godtvisken, su works for changing to another user if you add the username after su
[10:57] <decaf> godtvisken: su <user>
[10:57] <cchance> !easysource
[10:57] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:57] <decaf> godtvisken: man su
[10:57] <godtvisken> ah, so i'll have to use sudo su
[10:57] <godtvisken> thanks
[10:57] <Sanne> mikeo1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:57] <Yodude> can someone talk to me alone for a moment?
[10:57] <ompaul> godtvisken, no that is for using root - and that is not the right way to do that
[10:57] <Yodude> PM me please i need help
[10:57] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  i don't remember cos i recentlly installed ubuntu then spent two weeks installing every piece of software i could get my hands on through synaptic, automatix2 and easyUbuntu.   what is the impact of flash 9 in this case ?
[10:58] <juano__> quaal: go into firefox
[10:58] <kiwinz_sucks> Yodude, what is your gaim version?
[10:58] <juano__> quaal: type in URL about:plugins
[10:58] <Chilliwack> ubuntu seems a lot less useless to me now. well, not useless, nto that i never found it useless, but that now i can actually DO stuff!
[10:58] <juano__> quaal: check if there is a JAVA entry in there
[10:58] <Asc> blackduck3: if you want paid support, this is where to go: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[10:58] <lesshaste> any here everanyone here use spamato?
[10:58] <Flannel> sdac221x_: ugh.  Automatix is a good way to screw up your system.  Flash 9 is a newer version (instead of flash 7), that fixes a lot of issues like the one you described
[10:58] <kiwinz_sucks> older versions of Gaim had problems since MSN changed their protocol, but since then, they have been fixed
[10:59] <quaal> juano__,  nope
[10:59] <Yodude> i had the problem in dapper
[10:59] <Yodude> ad i though in Edgy it would get fixed but it's not!
[10:59] <juano__> quaal: ok, theres the problem im talkin about
[10:59] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  ok ill download and install flash 9.  is automatic really dangerous ?  an ubuntu edgy guide guided me through its installation.
[10:59] <juano__> quaal: just a sec ill give you the solution to that
[10:59] <godtvisken> How do I set a password for a user?
[10:59] <quaal> ok
[11:00] <Flannel> sdac221x_: yes.  Which guide?
[11:00] <NET||abuse> hey guys,, how can i get postfix to uninstall without aptitude removeing courier also? i'm gonna re-install postfix straight after, just doing this to flash out the config files, they're buggered
[11:00] <aoupi> godtvisken: sudo passwd username
[11:00] <quaal> godtvisken, system/administration/users ?
[11:00] <blackduck3> Thank you for responding to me. It is much appreciated
[11:00] <justin__> do they know they're still on
[11:00] <[SiMooN] > hi
[11:00] <illriginal> How do I check to see if i have the .WMV Codec?
[11:00] <justin__> in... windows?
[11:00] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[11:00] <justin__> no sound :(
[11:00] <illriginal> the fuck...
[11:01] <illriginal> oops.
[11:01] <mikeo1> how come i cant log on is root through gdm?
[11:01] <justin__> illriginal: is this in Linux?
[11:01] <mikeo1> i added root as a user
[11:01] <illriginal> of course...
[11:01] <illriginal> this is the UBUNTU room.
[11:01] <ompaul> mikeo1, you don't need that
[11:01] <mikeo1> yes i do
[11:01] <Yodude> >	can banshee be downloaded as a single package and not as a repository package?
[11:01] <justin__> oh, sorry, wrong server...
[11:01] <mikeo1> because my normal account is broken
[11:01] <mikeo1> and i think its access privlidges doing it
[11:01] <illriginal> How do I check to see if i have the .WMV Codec?
[11:02] <mikeo1> so i want to see if sound works as root
[11:02] <mikeo1> any way to do itL
[11:02] <Flannel> sdac221x_: ugh.  Thanks.  Apparently ubuntuguide is again unsafe.
[11:02] <aoupi> mikeo1: try adding your user to the audio group
[11:02] <illriginal> Totem says it can't determine the type of file..
[11:02] <Asc> illriginal: I'd try to play a .WMV....
[11:02] <mikeo1> can i add my user to the root group?
[11:02] <illriginal> i did
[11:02] <dwid> yeah my totem player wont play the video on wmv
[11:02] <illriginal> and Mplayer doesn't play it.
[11:03] <aoupi> mikeo1: you could add your user to the wheel group and be able to use sudo
[11:03] <linuxd00d> hey guys
[11:03] <linuxd00d> long time no talk
[11:03] <kiwinz_sucks> wow, ok, people need to learn to use Google
[11:03] <mikeo1> mike:x:1000: is that the right privlidgesL
[11:03] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  most of the things in it worked for me... the Beryl guide produced no results though.  so do you recommend i uninstall automatix2.. doesnt it just get packages from synaptic i.e. just a front end
[11:03] <Asc> illriginal: then most likely you don't.  Instructions for installing the extra mplayer codecs are here: http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mplayer-codec-update/
[11:04] <illriginal> I get this: Could not determine type of stream.
[11:04] <drakkor> does an XP install in VirtualBox need antivrus ?
[11:04] <mikeo1> admin:x:114:  and root:x:0:
[11:04] <linuxd00d> but i have a problem, im installing 6.06 lts, it doesnt seem to like my nvidea card
[11:04] <Asc> illriginal: Don't ask me about totem, I never use it.
[11:04] <linuxd00d> it wont start x server
[11:04] <nahoj> hi, I downloaded some drm-protected wma-files for my friend and they wont play in ubuntu... what to do? =)
[11:04] <illriginal> k
[11:04] <Flannel> sdac221x_: no.  It has extra crap.  And makes things... well, break.
[11:04] <mikeo1> my main account has somehow been put into limited access
[11:04] <crazy_penguin> 'night all
[11:04] <Xenguy> !restricted > nahoj
[11:04] <mikeo1> how do i give it full permissions?
[11:04] <siikah> when gaming, I have a problem - the computer "locks" up for like 2-3s once in a while (mostly once an hour). the same problem occurs when watching movies. is this something someone here reqognizes? please type a line with my nick in that case. I haven't found anything googling
[11:04] <aoupi> nahoj: with DRM you are out of luck
[11:04] <ompaul> nahoj, the price of "drm"
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> nahoj, use sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[11:05] <quaal> hmm
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> also, use VLC
[11:05] <quaal> juano__, i think i should try this? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_v5.0_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> it plays wmv natively now
[11:05] <linuxd00d> but i have a problem, im installing 6.06 lts, it doesnt seem to like my nvidea card
[11:05] <Asc> illriginal: and when I say 'instructions' I mean a page that lists some random commands that some guy said works.
[11:05] <cyberyak> THERE'S A FLUXBUNTU!!!!
[11:05] <juano__> quaal: that seems good yeah
[11:05] <quaal> k
[11:05] <linuxd00d> !fluxbuntu
[11:05] <quaal> i guess it will just overwrite whateve i've already done ?
[11:05] <ubotu> fluxbuntu is a LPAE-standard compliant, Ubuntu-based derivative that maintains the goal of running on a wide range of mobile devices and computers (low-end & high-end). It is lightweight, swift and efficient. | Support Channel: #fluxbuntu on freenode | Homepage: http://fluxbuntu.org/
[11:05] <nahoj> tried w32codecs, did not work... is this the way the future goes?
[11:06] <aoupi> cyberyak: is it stable now?
[11:06] <mikeo1> how do i give my user full permissions?
[11:06] <cyberyak> doesn't appear to be.
[11:06] <juano__> quaal: let me check that sec
[11:06] <sdac221x_> question:  when i try to remove certain packages through synaptic e.g. gaim .. i get a prompt that it wants to also remove xubuntu-desktop package.  should i allow it ?  ( im on xubuntu edgy)
[11:07] <cyberyak> not if it's acpi-support
[11:07] <Asc> illriginal: and they say the w32codecs package does what you want, and using that is probable a better idea.
[11:07] <SecrethX> in beryl, when I press the shortcut for my cube, I dont see a cube but I see a line which shows my desktops, I'd like to see the cube :o
[11:07] <illriginal> i did install them...
[11:07] <illriginal> mplayer just sucks.
[11:07] <spike723_> the ubuntu installer doesn't work in 640x480
[11:07] <spike723_> thats pretty bad
[11:07] <spike723_> it doesn't resize to fit on the screen
[11:07] <a8514> :o
[11:07] <cyberyak> spike723_, laptop?
[11:08] <aoupi> spike723_: 640x480 is pretty bad in itself :)
[11:08] <mikeo1> all the useful management tools in system->administration have dissappeared
[11:08] <mikeo1> how do i get them back?
[11:08] <spike723_> cyberyak: nah it's a desktop, but that doesn't matter
[11:08] <seww> easiest way to pimp out ubuntu?
[11:08] <cyberyak> spike723_, use the alternate cd and install in text mode.
[11:08] <beoba> seww: with a cane
[11:08] <Asc> illriginal: it plays wmv3 just fine for me
[11:08] <seww> beoba: yeah i bet
[11:09] <seww> but i cant beryl to work at all
[11:09] <illriginal> who said anything about wmv3?
[11:09] <illriginal> >.>
[11:09] <spike723_> cyberyak: but the installer should be able to be resized
[11:09] <spike723_> the graphical installer is fine
[11:09] <juano__> quaal: follow the  How to install J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) v5.0 with Plug-in for Mozilla Firefox
[11:09] <juano__> quaal: only that part
[11:09] <spike723_> it just needs to be fixed
[11:09] <seww> so i just wanna pimp out ubuntu a bit
[11:09] <cyberyak> spike723_,  won't argue that point, just offering a workaround.
[11:09] <cyberyak> if you were in houston, I'd offer a real vid card.
[11:10] <Asc> illriginal: I think you might have mentioned it.
[11:10] <illriginal> wmv yes not wmv3
[11:10] <quaal> juano__,  yea i just did sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin
[11:10] <SecrethX> in beryl, when I press the shortcut for my cube, I dont see a cube but I see a line which shows my desktops, I'd like to see the cube :o
[11:10] <quaal> still running.
[11:10] <Asc> Illriginal: Hmm.  It plays WMV 1 and 2 out of the box.  Or it did for me.
[11:11] <juano__> quaal: yeah , after those instructions try to check and see if theres a Java entry in about:plugins
[11:11] <juano__> quaal: in firefox
[11:11] <quaal> will do
[11:11] <illriginal> meh the file might just be bad.. brb
[11:11] <Flannel> SecrethX: #ubuntu-effects for beryl/XGL/et al support, thanks
[11:11] <sdac221x_> seww:  did you follow a guide to get beryl on your system ?  if so do u have a link cos all ive tried have failed on my xubuntu edgy
[11:12] <SecrethX> Flannel, I didnt even knew that that channel existed.. :o
[11:12] <Flannel> SecrethX: well, now you do ;)
[11:12] <mikeo11234> i knew it
[11:12] <Perryman> !rpm
[11:12] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[11:12] <mikeo11234> all my problems were from access permissions
[11:12] <linuxd00d> !nvidea
[11:12] <SecrethX> Flannel, thats obvious :D
[11:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidea - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:12] <stephen_> i need a screenrecorder other than istanbul
[11:12] <Perryman> anyone else having problems installing flash player in opera?
[11:12] <mikeo11234> i logged in as root in an x session and everything including sound works
[11:12] <linuxd00d> im installing 6.06 lts, it doesnt seem to like my nvidea card
[11:13] <linuxd00d> it wont run the X SERVER
[11:13] <mikeo11234> now how do i allow my user to access the sound
[11:13] <Asc> !nvidia
[11:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:13] <Flannel> stephen_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts might help
[11:13] <Led-Hed> Is there a way to change the time range in the Power Management Properties?  It ranges from 11min to 1hr,  I would like to set it for 2 minutes.
[11:13] <Asc> linuxd00d: Done sudo dpkg xserver-xorg reconfigure and selected nv driver?
[11:13] <mikeo11234> Perryman: mine works with flash in amd64
[11:13] <NET||abuse> Hi all, can someone help me? i want to remove a package without removing the dependant packages.
[11:13] <linuxd00d> asc:nope not yet
[11:14] <Flannel> NET||abuse: that defeats the purpose of package management
[11:14] <quaal> what is the 6.10 build name
[11:14] <quaal> breezy badger ?
[11:14] <Flannel> quaal: Edgy Eft
[11:14] <quaal> thats it
[11:14] <NET||abuse> Flannel, no, it's just to refresh the install, it's postfix, aptitude reinstall won't do what i need
[11:14] <Asc> linuxd00d: it's worth a try.  And becoming experienced with that command pays *evil grin*.
[11:14] <linuxd00d> Asc: haha
[11:14] <superdave888> hello, installed ubuntu-desktop on my 6.10 server. how do I invoke the desktop from command line?
[11:14] <NET||abuse> Flannel, i just need to remove postfix completely without affecting the courier install, then reinstall it immediatly
[11:15] <linuxd00d> Asc: thanks alot
[11:15] <aoupi> NET||abuse: dpkg-reconfigure postfix?
[11:15] <Asc> linuxd00d: hope it helps.
[11:15] <Chilliwack> hi, errm. i can't ty_e the letter that's one right of "o"
[11:15] <gpm> superdave888: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ?
[11:15] <mikeo11234> how do i give my user the ability to access sound?
[11:15] <linuxd00d> Asc: so do i
[11:15] <superdave888> yes gpm
[11:15] <dimeotane> anyone know where the gnome personal addressbook is located... other than .evolution?  It wont let me delete this screwed up book inside evolution itself.. but I can't find it my .evolution folder.. where is it?
[11:15] <mikeo11234> and how do i restore all the admin menu items to my users account?
[11:15] <Asc> linuxd00d: If the driver isn't listed, do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv
[11:15] <gpm> superdave888: ok. so it's installed, what do you need now?
[11:15] <superdave888> gpm, i want to use it now
[11:15] <mikeo11234> everything works when logging on as root in gdm, but nothing works as my user
[11:16] <mikeo11234> i get access denied for everything
[11:16] <superdave888> gpm, have it installed but I am stuck at command line
[11:16] <NET||abuse> aoupi, nope,, it won't fix certain files which i want it to fix, i've also downlaoded and extracted the deb file and just replaced the postfix-script, postfix-files and post-install files, but they're not quite right, i need to run the install from clean again
[11:16] <gpm> superdave888: ooooh. haha, sorry. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:16] <superdave888> thanks gpm
[11:16] <mikeo11234> anyone?
[11:16] <gpm> assuming your X config is all good
[11:16] <gpm> no
[11:16] <Chilliwack> and when i hit it, the bar i'm ty_ing in flashes.
[11:16] <gpm> prob
[11:16] <NET||abuse> aoupi, so i just need to know how to completely strip out postfix alone and not it's dependant package (courier in this case)
[11:17] <aoupi> NET||abuse: apt-get --reinstall?
[11:17] <Flannel> superdave888: you'll definately want to consider switching to the desktop kernel (away from the -server one)
[11:17] <linuxd00d> Asc:
[11:17] <NET||abuse> aoupi, doesn't strip out the package completely, it doesn't replace the postfix-files postfifx-script or post-install files in /etc/postfix either
[11:17] <mikeo11234> how do i restore full access permissions to my user?
[11:17] <Flannel> mikeo11234: add them to the admin group
[11:17] <Chilliwack> can someone possibly help? i've got to paste in "p" every time, 'cause it won't work. but i know the computer's, er, registering me typing it
[11:17] <Ricket> I tried installing SWAT through the Synaptic package manager but it is not working, even after a reboot. http://localhost:901 shows the Unable to Connect error. What is wrong?
[11:17] <aoupi> NET||abuse: hm try --reinstall and --purge
[11:17] <linuxd00d> Asc: will i be able to do this in the shell that ubuntu gives me when it cant run the xserver
[11:17] <superdave888> Flannel, why is that? I am using for a LAMP server, but occasionally want to enter desktop because I am a new linux user and afraid to get lost at command line
[11:17] <Asc> linuxd00d: Hm, it looks as though the nv driver doesn't do 3d, but it should get the GUI running.  searching for 'nvidia' in synaptic returns some things that look useful.
[11:17] <mikeo11234> i think i did but it didn't work
[11:18] <quaal> juano__,  what do i put in firefox again to check the plugins
[11:18] <Asc> linuxd00d: yes
[11:18] <NET||abuse> aoupi, ok, i'll try
[11:18] <Vuen> hey guys, i just turned my computer on and ubuntu decided to fsck my ext2 data partition. at about 70% "fsck died with exit status 1". yet it automatically mounted it and everything seems there. should i be concerned?
[11:18] <Flannel> superdave888: ah, in that case, it shouldn't matter.  Just realize that sometimes your GUI will be less responsive than it could be.
[11:18] <juano__> quaal: about:plugins
[11:18] <aoupi> NET||abuse: just be quick on ctrl+c if it starts to do something crazy :)
[11:18] <linuxd00d> Asc: thanks
[11:18] <user01> where can i find xmms-shn package?
[11:18] <Asc> linuxd00d: You might try installing nvidia-glx as well... not sure if it'll show up as a driver when reconfiguring, but it looks like it does hardware acceleration
[11:19] <superdave888> thanks Flannel
[11:19] <quaal> Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_08-b03
[11:19] <quaal> juano__, you win sir
[11:19] <gpm> user01: it's not in the ubuntu archives
[11:19] <linuxd00d> Asc: thanks, well im about to try all this stuff youve told me
[11:19] <NET||abuse> aoupi, doesn't seem to delete the files
[11:19] <linuxd00d> *FINGERS CROSSED*
[11:19] <Asc> linuxd00d: Righto.  Good luck.
[11:19] <gpm> user01: so...google
[11:19] <gpm> user01: or install it from source or something
[11:20] <user01> gpm: is there any shn codec?
[11:20] <superdave888> Flannel, I tried to start it from within SSH on Windows... just says Starting GNOME Display Manager and then pauses. I guess it is not supported by SSH?
[11:20] <Varanger> hello!
[11:20] <juano__> quaal: great
[11:20] <aoupi> NET||abuse: are you sure the files are coming from postfix and not from postfix-something?
[11:20] <juano__> quaal: you now have Java for firefox
[11:20] <Flannel> superdave888: right, ssh is just a terminal thing.  You'll need to do X forwarding to get a GUI.  cygwin can do it.
[11:20] <user01> gpm: i tried but i got the error configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[11:20] <gpm> user01: i don't know much about the codec, but i don't see anything with apt-cache search shn....and i've enabled universe,multiverse, etc.
[11:21] <NET||abuse> aoupi,yes, when i extract potsfix_x_x-x.deb the postfix-script/files and post-install are all in there
[11:21] <quaal> indeed
[11:21] <Vuen> superdave888: you're looking for something like vnc or nx
[11:21] <Vuen> superdave888: sudo apt-get install nxserver nxclient
[11:21] <user01> gpm: what does % mean?  is that a special shell?
[11:21] <Flannel> NET||abuse: why aren't you just removing postfix, with it courier, then reinstalling both?
[11:21] <superdave888> Flannel, is there a Wiki about X-forwarding? I have cygwin but not sure how to use it
[11:21] <NET||abuse> aoupi, so if that's an indication, i guess they are from postfix package, also dpkg -l | grep postfix reveals only one package
[11:21] <linuxd00d> Asc: i apt-get'd and no luck
[11:22] <NET||abuse> Flannel, as i have data in courier that i can't get back
[11:22] <linuxd00d> im gonna go for a smoke and have a think
[11:22] <gpm> user01: well, it's a prompt for some shells....like zsh uses it i know
[11:22] <superdave888> thanks Vuen, I will check out nx. I already ruled out vnc because it said I have to have an open Gnome session on the server
[11:22] <gpm> user01: you could try these: http://morgoth.free.fr/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xmms-shn/
[11:22] <Vuen> superdave888: yeah, nx creates a new session
[11:22] <aoupi> NET||abuse: ok, but can't you just copy the conf files from the .deb manualy?
[11:22] <Flannel> NET||abuse: removing (just removing, not --purging) doesn't remove any config/etc.  You can always back it up, anyway
[11:22] <Asc> linuxd00d: The drivers don't appear when you do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'?
[11:23] <NET||abuse> aoupi, i did copy them from the deb, that didn't work as postfix started producing errors in log from postfix-script of "permission denied" and "file not found"
[11:23] <Flannel> superdave888: you can do it fine with cygwin, you just need to install X... and then the command is 'xwin -query [your ubuntu IP] ', but you'll need to setup forwarding on your Xserver (called XDMCP), since it's disabled by default
[11:23] <Vuen> superdave888: seriously, try nx. it's a joke to install and set up
[11:23] <Vuen> superdave888: hold on
[11:23] <user01> gpm:  thanks
[11:24] <Varanger> I can log into my Ubuntu, please help. I get a message like this "There must be some problem because the system was only logged for less than 10 seconds"
[11:24] <gpm> user01: i just googled xmms-shn ubuntu
[11:24] <aoupi> NET||abuse: hm, I'd backup the conf files of the dependencies and then let it purge their files and then reinstall them
[11:24] <Flannel> superdave888: http://mparise.wordpress.com/2006/03/01/using-xdmcp-with-ubuntu-or-any-other-gdm-running-distro/
[11:24] <ryanakca> whats the diff between multiverse and commercial
[11:24] <juano__> !apt
[11:24] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[11:24] <superdave888> Thanks, Vuen and Flannel, I will try both your recommendations
[11:25] <Varanger> !fglrx
[11:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:25] <Flannel> NET||abuse: don't purge courier, just purge postfix.  (uninstall courier)
[11:25] <ryanakca> juano__: that for me?
[11:25] <Vuen> superdave888: this is the guide for dapper: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Remote_Desktop_Access_via_NX
[11:25] <juano__> ryanakca: nope, for me
[11:25] <ryanakca> ah
[11:25] <aoupi> NET||abuse: yes, do as Flannel says, seems to be less headache
[11:25] <juano__> ryanakca: : P
[11:25] <Vuen> superdave888: for edgy it's the same, except those debs are now in the repos, so you can just apt-get them
[11:25] <root> so how do i enable my normal user account to access my hardware
[11:26] <root> sound and many other things dont work as my username, but everything works in gnome when running as root
[11:26] <Vuen> root: you shouldn't run irc as root...
[11:26] <felixhummel> :D
[11:26] <Eleaf> Hey there.
[11:26] <DaRkNeSS|> what's the syntax to send cron output to null?
[11:26] <Eleaf> Does anybody here use rhythmbox?
[11:26] <cyberyak> Vuen, that is correct.
[11:26] <keeganX> Is there a channel for helping people run games in Linux?
[11:26] <DaRkNeSS|> which is right a) /scripts/cron_inactivity.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1  or b) /scripts/cron_inactivity.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
[11:26] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, > /dev/null
[11:27] <root> while how do i make things work as my username
[11:27] <gpm> root: add your normal user to some groups
[11:27] <root> its like my username is broken and nothing works
[11:27] <aoupi> DaRkNeSS|: both are good
[11:27] <Flannel> root: add it to the admin group
[11:27] <cyberyak> Vuen, some of the other IRC apps call you derogatory names.
[11:27] <Vuen> root: if you're using ubuntu, you shouldn't even have root activated...
[11:27] <DaRkNeSS|> will that suppress the automated email?
[11:27] <Turgon> Hello.  Which was the address of a web page with some video tutorials (how to use Evolution, xchat-gnome...). I think I read about it at Planet Ubuntu. Thanks.
[11:27] <gpm> root: specifically: audio, video, plugdev
[11:27] <DaRkNeSS|> will that suppress the automated email?
[11:27] <root> they were the admin account
[11:27] <jrib> root: what groups is your user in?
[11:27] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, 1> sends std out and 2> send error output
[11:27] <NET||abuse> Flannel, ohh, ok, so i can uninstall postfix and allow it to remove courier, then purge postfix, then reinstall postfix and courier
[11:27] <root> they were the default user, then it just stopped working the other day
[11:27] <Flannel> NET||abuse: correct.
[11:28] <DaRkNeSS|> so felix how do i turn off the automated email?
[11:28] <Vuen> cyberyak: hehe, yep. the first time i used ubuntu was back in breezy; i was having some problems, so i had the bright idea of logging into x as root and running mirc to get help
[11:28] <Vuen> cyberyak: it called me an idiot :p
[11:28] <root> this is ubuntu, i had to enable the root account manually to see if my hardware worked with it
[11:28] <aoupi> DaRkNeSS|: 2>&1 means send error to the same plase as stdout
[11:28] <jrib> root: this really sounds like a group issue
[11:28] <root> since it works as root i know its a user permissions problem
[11:28] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, sorry I don't know. for redirection see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirection_%28Unix%29
[11:28] <Vuen> root: what hardware exactly are you talking about?
[11:29] <root> my sound card, tv card...
[11:29] <grte> Hey, when I try compiling the gimp, I get a dbus error that tells me I have to define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
[11:29] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, what automated e-mail?
[11:29] <grte> Anyone know how to do that?
[11:29] <root> all the admin menus
[11:29] <Chilliwack> is there a way to make it so i don't have to go "pon dsl-provider" every time i log on?
[11:29] <root> synopic dissappeared
[11:29] <Vuen> root: also, you really shouldn't run irc as root. even if you are logged in as root, you should sudo your irc client to a less priveledged user
[11:29] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, do you mean CRON logs?
[11:29] <DaRkNeSS|> yeah
[11:29] <root> add/remove programs disappeared
[11:29] <DaRkNeSS|> cron
[11:29] <root> Vuen: don't worry about it
[11:30] <mon^rch> I still cant believe I got my ntfs drives rw :-D
[11:30] <root> i added my user to the admin group but it still didnt work
[11:30] <jrib> root: it's not just the admin group
[11:30] <Vuen> mon^rch: what ntfs drivers are you using?
[11:30] <root> i can sudo su as the user... but the other stuff doesnt work
[11:30] <grte> Does anybody know how to define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE?
[11:30] <aoupi> root: add the users to the audio group too
[11:30] <root> what other groups is it?
[11:30] <jrib> grte: FOO=bar
[11:30] <grte> jrib: Tried that, no good.
[11:31] <jrib> grte: that's how you define it
[11:31] <DiOXiN> heeeeeeeelp: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/42718
[11:31] <eegore> anyone work with a load balance router?
[11:31] <root> there is no audio group?
[11:31] <jrib> root: there is
[11:31] <DaRkNeSS|> is there a positive way to get a linksys wireless-g usb adapter to work with ubuntu
[11:31] <grte> Well, it doesn't seem to be working anyways.
[11:32] <DaRkNeSS|> like 2 months ago i was looking into ubuntu but there wasnt a for sure way to make it work
[11:32] <jrib> grte: what groups is your user in?
[11:32] <grte> It's own.
[11:32] <root> hmmm there is, just wasn't showing up in the program, cating the group file shows it tho
[11:32] <grte> As in, group is save as username.
[11:33] <grte> :s/save/same
[11:33] <root> how do i see what groups my user is in?
[11:33] <jrib> grte: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video plugdev users lpadmin scanner admin
[11:33] <Vuen> DaRkNeSS|: you can probably make it work with ndiswrapper
[11:33] <DiOXiN> tsmithe`: done with the bugrapport: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/42718
[11:33] <Vuen> root: groups|grep <user>
[11:33] <jrib> grte: add him to those.  The 'groups' command tells you your groups
[11:33] <tsmithe`> DiOXiN, cool
[11:33] <grte> Oh, already a part of those.
[11:34] <jrib> why am i talking to grte ?
[11:34] <DaRkNeSS|> yeah Vuen ndiswrapper was the way some people were getting it to work a few months ago
[11:34] <grte> except src.
[11:34] <root> my user is not a member of any groups, and root is a member of 2 groups: root, and users
[11:34] <mon^rch> how can I change the volume label of a drive?
[11:34] <root> how do i add my user to the proper groups?
[11:34] <jrib> root: then adding him to those groups will probably resolve the issue
[11:34] <Flannel> root: you sure you finished the install all the way?
[11:34] <root> yeah
[11:35] <root> it was running fine for 3 days
[11:35] <Vuen> wow
[11:35] <jrib> grte: /why/ are you compiling gimp anyway?
[11:35] <Vuen> that's really strange
[11:35] <grte> Latest unstable version.
[11:35] <Flannel> root: [username]  adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin is the default group set for first user

[11:35] <Chousuke> hmm
[11:36] <Chousuke> ${group} might be better
[11:36] <Vuen> Chousuke: shouldn't matter
[11:36] <Chousuke> also, that will only echo the commands
[11:36] <devilsadvocate> mon^rch, forgive me, but why do you need to change the volume lable?
[11:36] <jrib> grte: pastebin the errors you are getting
[11:36] <Chousuke> make sure it's correct and remove the exho

[11:40] <unop> Chousuke,  that's because you quoted the groups when you shouldnt have
[11:40] <Chousuke> unop: hmm :p
[11:40] <grte> jrib: The relevant section states: Until 1.0 is released, you have to define -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
[11:40] <unop> for group in adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video plugdev users lpadmin scanner admin; do echo adduser username $group; done;
[11:40] <grte> just as a safety check to be sure everyone is aware of this API/ABI

[11:41] <nikosapi> grndslm: type this ln -s /etc/init.d/<script name> /etc/rc3.d/
[11:41] <unop> nikosapi,  it's better to use update-rc.d
[11:42] <nikosapi> grndslm: mind you it should alreay be there
[11:43] <nikosapi> grndslm: sorry do what unop said, it's effectivly the same thing but it'll add the start and stop links

[11:45] <jrib> root: paste the command you are trying
[11:46] <Asc> bertrand: can you tell us what happens when you try to boot?
[11:46] <unop> root, this maybe (subsitute username for your username) -  for group in adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video plugdev users lpadmin scanner admin; do adduser username $group; done;

[11:47] <jrib> !upgrade | vleon

[11:49] <linuxd00d> hey guys, im being extremely rude, but i was getting sick with ubuntu not liking my card so ive gone to fedora, sorry guys
[11:49] <Asc> bertrand: Um, okay.  Can you start windows from the restarted grub?
[11:50] <linuxd00d> when i sort out the nvidia crap i will be back on here with a vengance
[11:50] <mikeo2> it works!!!!!!!!
[11:50] <bertrand_> no, i can't, it restarts grub again
[11:50] <y0hm> a great loss ...
[11:50] <mikeo2> irc as root saved the day
[11:50] <mikeo2> i have my sound back again
[11:50] <mikeo2> i was root
[11:50] <mikeo2> lol
[11:50] <genildo_> manda aew o canal do ubuntubr
[11:50] <grte> Okay, so how do I use gcc to compile, instead of just using make?
[11:50] <ompaul> !br
[11:50] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[11:50] <jrib> grte: take a look at what is inside the make file
[11:51] <unop> grte,  make does no compiling -- it just "makes" :)
[11:51] <mikeo2> so how do i disable the root account?
[11:51] <jrib> !root | mikeo2
[11:51] <ubotu> mikeo2: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:51] <mikeo2> thanks
[11:51] <superdave888> hello, anyone know how to get to mouse configuration from command line?

[11:54] <jinho> hi iv been trying to get glx drivers working w/ my 6800gt, but I cant seem to get it to work properly, help would be greatly appreciated!
[11:54] <ademan> is there any generic ndiswrapper tutorial out there?
[11:54] <earthmeLon> jinho, is that ATI?
[11:54] <mon^rch> how come my backspace wont work in vi?
[11:54] <jinho> earthmeLon: nvidia 6800gt
[11:54] <bertrand_> Asc: the link : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4028/
[11:55] <earthmeLon> mon^rch are you in edit mode?
[11:55] <earthmeLon> mon^rch, you have to hit INSERT for backspace to work
[11:55] <ademan> mon^rch: are you familiar with vi? it's very different from other text editors, if you're not familiar i suggest nano
[11:55] <beoba> hi, im trying to submit a bug for abiword on launchpad.net, but "AbiWord does not use Malone as its bug tracker." -- does this mean i should instead post the bug to the official abiword tracker?
[11:55] <earthmeLon> mon^rch, and then hit escape to get out of it. If you arent familiar, use nano

[11:56] <floatingredwagon> Hey everyone.  Having difficulty getting the Ubuntu install CD to get past "Uncompressing linux... Ok, booting the kernel."   Any advice?
[11:56] <jinho> any idea how to fix this earthmeLon?
[11:56] <grte> beoba: Yes.
[11:56] <lufis> Which ubuntu repo server is fastest? All my downloads from the repos are stuck at 50 kb/s :(
[11:56] <beoba> okay, thanks
[11:56] <grte> No problem.
[11:56] <ademan> vim has several modes, i will put you into "insert mode" which is basically what you'll want all the time (it's exactly like other text editors) but the real power of vim comes from the other modes
[11:56] <earthmeLon> No, sorry. I have an ATI jinho. I know that the beryl wiki has a lot of good info on how to install graphics cards
[11:56] <crimsun> beoba: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+filebug
[11:57] <I-kido> jinho what does not work, details?
[11:57] <ompaul> lufis, try .ie that is heanet who have bundles of bandwith - and they dish out more than kernel.org on a day to day basis
[11:57] <jinho> I-kido- so I tried getting the glx drivers from synaptic
[11:57] <I-kido> yes
[11:57] <erUSUL> ademan: vim has two modes one in which it beeps and one in which it not ;)...
[11:57] <lufis> ompaul: .ie? isn't that like eastern european? :p
[11:57] <ompaul> lufis, ehh no
[11:57] <kbrooks> lufis: the local one...
[11:58] <cyberyak> how hosed will my updates be without the ubuntu-desktop file?
[11:58] <kbrooks> closest one
[11:58] <jinho> I-kido and then did the whole sudo nvidia-glx config enable thing
[11:58] <cyberyak> meta package
[11:58] <ompaul> kbrooks, not always the best :)
[11:58] <lufis> kbrooks: I'm using the local one now... it never goes beyond 50-ish kb/s
[11:58] <kbrooks> lufis: where do u live?
[11:58] <lufis> usa

[11:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:58] <cyberyak> internap
[11:58] <beoba> crimsun: ahh, okay, i wasnt looking for it under the Ubuntu stuff, i guess 'abiword' is separate from 'abiword within ubuntu'
[11:58] <jinho> I-kido but upon restarting , i cant get back to the login screen (ubuntu splash screen w/o anything going)
[11:58] <mikeo2> anyone here running vmware with winxp as guest booting from another existing bootable partition?
[11:58] <jinho> I-kido so I had to revert back to nv drivers in recover mode and thats been it so far
[11:59] <superdave888> hello, is there a guide to keys to be used in gnome (when one's mouse isn't working)?
[11:59] <kbrooks> mikeo2: what is your question?
[11:59] <Asc> bertrand: It looks as though it ought to be okay.  I'd try deleting the third-to-last line ('savedefault') and retrying.  I haven't managed to find a way to determine if grub is installed on a device/partition.
[11:59] <mikeo2> i got it all working, but get access denied when i dont run vmware as root and try to open the file
[11:59] <lufis> .ie? but i use firefox :P
[11:59] <kbrooks> mikeo2: that issn't a question
[11:59] <lufis> little joke there
[11:59] <I-kido> jinho is your xorg.cong working
[11:59] <mikeo2> how can i open the file in vmware as a user?
[11:59] <jinho> I-kido: im not sure, how would I know?
[11:59] <mikeo2> and not get access denied
[11:59] <kbrooks> mikeo2: What file?
[11:59] <I-kido> jinho could u paste bin pls?
[12:00] <floatingredwagon> Anyone have any advice on getting the install CD to get past "Uncompressing Linux...  Ok, booting kernel" ?
[12:00] <mikeo2> the vmware files to boot the xp partition
[12:00] <LjL> mikeo2, for me VMWare Player only runs as root. that's been reported as a bug, though i don't know if it happens for everyone.
[12:00] <jinho> i-kido, my xorg.conf file?
[12:00] <I-kido> yes
[12:00] <lufis> Ooh, it's ireland
[12:00] <kbrooks> ljl: what has been reported as a bug?
[12:00] <LjL> floatingredwagon: noapic, nolapic, acpi=off
[12:00] <mikeo2> vmware runs as a user for me, but i cant boot another partition unless im root
[12:00] <LjL> Ubotu, tell floatingredwagon about boot | floatingredwagon, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:00] <LjL> kbrooks: the fact that vmplayer only works as root for some people
[12:01] <mikeo2> LjL: did you get it working with the spinning cube in beryl?
[12:01] <LjL> mikeo2: well that seems logical enough, partitions certainly aren't *supposed* to be directly accessed by users
