[12:02] <jwtod1> does anyone know off hand the apt-get command to install the kernel headers?
[12:02] <Tux_0wnz_J00> ok how do I compile?
[12:02] <kevum> Tux_0wnz_J00, the helper guy can be turned off in the options
[12:02] <setog3> nobody knows ? I go read the changelog
[12:03] <vox754> !compile > Tux_0wnz_J00
[12:03] <jensleo> jrclark, im having a look, thanks
[12:03] <Tux_0wnz_J00> I figured, but I just couldn't find it there.  I'll look around more, I guess
[12:03] <HymnToLife> jwtod1, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[12:03] <HymnToLife> jwtod1, see also !headers
[12:03] <sess> does anyone know anything about gnome

[12:04] <Moxxon> Cause I downloaded it and I cant find it
[12:04] <jwtod1> HymnToLife what do u mean by !headers?
[12:04] <HymnToLife> !headers
[12:04] <Gunrun> guys, do you think I would have any more luck with my problem using kubuntu?
[12:04] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[12:04] <superdave888> hi, I am looking for fluxbox repository to add to sources list. universe is seemingly not enough to find the fluxbox package
[12:04] <HymnToLife> !fluxbox
[12:04] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[12:04] <briancann> hey guys trying to identify and install my onboard graphics card with direct rendering enabled, where do I begin
[12:04] <kevum> Tux_0wnz_J00, I think compile steps usually depend on the package
[12:05] <vox754> Tux_0wnz_J00: are you paying attention to Ubotu?
[12:05] <FringeJacket> hi
[12:05] <Moxxon> What is bittorrent and wine under?
[12:05] <Moxxon> like I cant find it under applications
[12:05] <Moxxon> :/
[12:05] <sess> well, after I upgraded, gnome wont startup anymore, I get a big grey box in the screen with no messages, it jsut sits there
[12:05] <lskd-255> !fluxbox
[12:05] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[12:05] <Moxxon> but theres the little check mark on add/remove programs
[12:05] <superdave888> HymnToLife: I have been to the community page for fluxbox and it does not state the repository to add
[12:05] <doubleA> How do i make xchat ping when there is a message for me?
[12:05] <kitche> moxxon: wine is a cli you run it with wine /path/to/exe
[12:05] <Tux_0wnz_J00> vox: Yeah but I don't understand any of it
[12:05] <jwtod1> thx ubuto. i am running xless at present alas no syaptic :(
[12:05] <Moxxon> klitche what you mean?
[12:05] <sess> SOMEONE must know how to LOG a GNOME-SESSION Startup
[12:06] <kitche> moxxon: that's how you run wine open up a terminal and type wine /path/to/exe/file
[12:06] <HymnToLife> !info fluxbox

[12:06] <HymnToLife> superdave888, it's in !universe
[12:06] <jwtod1> ubotu ... what is the apt pattern for the accompanying -dev packages?
[12:06] <livingdaylight> SuperBowl XLI !
[12:06] <vox754> Tux_0wnz_J00: which package do you wish to install.
[12:06] <mjrclark> wceoscar; /swap is twice ram or so, others, /boot fairly small <gb I thnk, / fairly big, shoudl not need more than 20gb unless you intend to have huge numbers of progs installed, /home, as big as all the documents,music, movies etc you plan to have ever.
[12:07] <superdave888> HymnToLife: is it possible I have wrong package name? I am typing apt-get install fluxbox
[12:07] <vox754> livingdaylight: Colts!
[12:07] <tonyyarusso> jwtod1: try apt-file
[12:07] <kitche> superdave888: do you have the universe repo enabled?
[12:07] <Tux_0wnz_J00> vox: Nothing specific at the moment, I just wanted to know for future reference
[12:07] <maxamillion> is there a net install image available for ubuntu?
[12:07] <livingdaylight> !Colts
[12:07] <superdave888> HymnToLife: Yes, I have universe enabled in my sources list
[12:07] <Tux_0wnz_J00> I'll just check out Ubotu's links for now
[12:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about colts - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:08] <superdave888> HymnToLife: Unless I need something other than the following: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
[12:08] <kitche> superdave888: did you update
[12:08] <kitche> superdave888: sudo apt-get update
[12:08] <toodles> Hello everyone! How could I go about connecting two ubuntu laptops to each other via wireless for chat / file transfer, without the need for a seperate access point?? Is this even possible?
[12:08] <Moxxon> How do I open bittorrent?
[12:09] <HymnToLife> Moxxon, command-line or GUI ?
[12:09] <brainly-green> is it possible to "intercept" port traffic?
[12:09] <brainly-green> so that if my Apache server is running on port 80, can I set up another program that intercepts all HTTP traffic going to port 80?
[12:09] <superdave888> kitche: thanks, updating solved it... didn't realize I must do that after changing my sources list :)
[12:09] <brainly-green> so Apache doesn't get it
[12:09] <livingdaylight> vox754, i've successfully installed azureus from sourceforge and its not crashing no more. But wondering if you can tell me how i can add it to my Application Menu
[12:09] <jwtod1> thx tonyarusso
[12:10] <vox754> Tux_0wnz_J00: well, Ubotu's links are "general"; specific instructions are found in the developers site.

[12:10] <Moxxon> Err
[12:10] <Moxxon> GUI
[12:10] <Tux_0wnz_J00> Vox: Ok, let's say i wanted to install Open Arena
[12:10] <Tux_0wnz_J00> I'm downloading the tar now
[12:10] <pbureau> Moxxon, get gnome-bittorrent
[12:10] <Moxxon> kk
[12:10] <njal> I have the realtek 97 driver and am looking into voip does the microphone port 'just work' and what's the best way to go about doing voip
[12:10] <Ranbee> hi, how do i 'unexport' a directory from the PATH environment?
[12:10] <mjrclark> andy 912; the livecd install needs 192mb of ram. try installing with text.
[12:10] <Moxxon> whats that?
[12:11] <vox754> livingdaylight: sorry. I haven't installed it yet, although I want to. It should be added automatically.
[12:11] <kitche> Ranbee: remove it from PATH
[12:11] <livingdaylight> vox754, not from sourceforge unfortunately. From Synaptic yes..
[12:11] <riotkittie> andy912: what size is your HD?
[12:11] <kevum> Ranbee, permanently?
[12:11] <Moxxon> To use the sudo apt-get command
[12:11] <andy912> 82GB
[12:11] <vox754> Tux_0wnz_J00: go to their page, and read their documentation.
[12:12] <Ranbee> kitche: i added a directory using export, but i don't wnat it now. so is the command "remove"?
[12:12] <Moxxon> do I do like sudo-apt get gnome-bittorrent?
[12:12] <Ranbee> kevum: yes
[12:12] <kevum> Ranbee, how did you add it?
[12:12] <kitche> Ranbee: you have to redo the path completely to do it export PATH= and redo it
[12:12] <eitan> hey guys...need help fixing a broken dependency, error is The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[12:12] <eitan>   libavahi-common-dev: Depends: libavahi-common3 (= 0.6.13-2ubuntu2) but 0.6.13-2ubuntu2.3 is to be installed
[12:12] <eitan> E: Broken packages
[12:12] <andy912> h/d is 80GB, memory is 1GB
[12:12] <livingdaylight> kitche, i successfully installed azureus from sourceforge, but wondering whether you can help me now add a launcher from Applications Menu?
[12:13] <marshall> does anybody here have Sonata?
[12:13] <kitche> livingdaylight: you can use hte gnome menu editor to do it
[12:13] <Ranbee> kev i did this - export PATH=${PATH}:path/to/directory
[12:13] <mjrclark> andy912; no idea then, I suffered a similar sounding problem, but I put it down to my ram deficiency
[12:13] <kevum> Ranbee, if you added it in some config file, you should remove it from the same. If you added it on a command line, it will go away when you close the terminal.
[12:13] <andy912> ok thanks a lot
[12:13] <Moxxon> Can someone walk me through how to use sudo apt-get command?
[12:13] <riotkittie> resizing and partitioning can take a while... on the other hand, i've only done it with small disks, and am not sure whats abnormal.
[12:14] <Ranbee> kevum: great, thanks, i did it in a terminal
[12:14] <Evilkiksass> Maxxon: Have you read the guide?
[12:14] <livingdaylight> kitche, not sure where Azureus is though
[12:14] <andy912> cheers mjrclark have a gd 1
[12:14] <vox754> !apt-get > Moxxon
[12:14] <Moxxon> No I havent
[12:14] <OneOfTheMany> !apt-get | Moxxon
[12:14] <ubotu> Moxxon: 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)
[12:14] <kitche> livingdaylight: might be in /usr/bin but when you put the path you should just have to put azureus for the executable part
[12:15] <_Brett_> hi
[12:15] <_Brett_> is there a way to boot to a usb thumbdrive if the bios doesn't support it?
[12:15] <livingdaylight> kitche, i just extracted the tar ball and executed it with ./azureus
[12:15] <ademan> how do you change ubuntu hotkeys?  Is it possible through gconf?
[12:15] <toodles>  Hello everyone! How could I go about connecting two mint laptops to each other via wireless for chat / file transfer, without the need for a seperate access point?? Is this even possible?
[12:15] <kitche> livingdaylight: ok then it's wherever you extracted it then
[12:16] <OneOfTheMany> _Brett_ I doubt it - booting from usb drives when they *are* supported is bad enough ;)
[12:16] <livingdaylight> kitche, home directory?
[12:16] <_Brett_> how is it bad?
[12:16] <kitche> livingdaylight: if that's where you put it what does the terminal say when you extracted it did it have ~
[12:17] <kitche> _Brett_: it lowers the life of them actually
[12:17] <vox754> toodles: yes.
[12:17] <livingdaylight> kitche, sorry...don't recall
[12:17] <marshall> kitche: what lowers the life of what
[12:17] <mjrclark> _Brett_: I presume he means hard, you could use a floppy that lets you boot off usb, not sure if they exist though.
[12:17] <kitche> marshall: booting to usb drive
[12:17] <marshall> kitche: what lowers the life of what
[12:17] <Evilkiksass> Would anyone happen to know why so many aps that work on windows will not work on the same pc with ubuntu instead.  Obviously using .exe with windows and on ubuntu im getting those apps through the built in add/remove applications window.  The reason I am asking is because the installer is citing the fact that I have a i386 proc as the problem.
[12:18] <EdgEy> using things lowers the life of them
[12:18] <EdgEy> sucks eh
[12:18] <marshall> kitche: does that lower the life of the usb or the computer
[12:18] <kitche> marshall: unless of course it's an actualy hard drive
[12:18] <toodles> vox754: Could you point me in the right direction?
[12:18] <kitche> marshall: the usb drive for flash drives at least
[12:18] <marshall> kitche: why is that bad?
[12:18] <nevron> is it possible to use the 24 bit external creative soundcard on ubuntu?
[12:19] <kitche> marshall: let say you buy a 1 gig flash drive and you ue it to boot then maybe after 20 uses it desn't work
[12:19] <mjrclark> flash drives now actually have a life that rivals hd drives.
[12:19] <vox754> toodles: I know this is piece of cake, I just haven't used it, sorry.
[12:19] <mjrclark> kitche, are you sure of that?
[12:20] <marshall> kitche: ok, but how does that work. why does booting from usb flash drive cause it to deteriorate
[12:20] <kevum> Evilkiksass, what package are you trying to install?
[12:21] <brngyn> someone help me please, I installed Ubuntu today in my laptop, but I'm already angry, I'm trying to install CrossOver but I could not!      I read the manual and I did every requests, when I execute the .sh file on terminal, It doesn't show anything....
[12:21] <toodles> vox754: Thanks, at least I know it's possible. I just haven't a clue what to do it with. I'll keep looking :-)
[12:21] <vox754> toodles: chek this out "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetAndNetworking"

[12:23] <mikeo1> anyone have problems with the gnome power manager and beryl?
[12:23] <Jack> does anyone know of an app that could be used to monitor four wireless cameras?
[12:23] <mikeo1> gnome power manager kills the screensavers
[12:24] <Moxxon> How do I start Bittorrent?
[12:24] <Jack> simeltaneously
[12:24] <brngyn> josys36: root@bruno-laptop:/home/brngyn/Desktop# sh ./install-crossover-standard-demo-6.0.0.sh
[12:24] <mikeo1> but if you kill gnome-power-manager the screensavers work
[12:24] <brngyn> root@bruno-laptop:/home/brngyn/Desktop#
[12:24] <mikeo1> but then your monitors don't turn off
[12:25] <kitche> Moxxon: python btdownloadgui.py is to start it

[12:38] <rodrigo> doubleA, try to use tab to go under the cols and + and - to change its value
[12:38] <Kimaira51> hello there i'm trying to play totem player with alsa 5.1 bur always give me an ressource error
[12:38] <xixor> Hey everyone, some questions with installation.  I was having trouble getting the normal install to work with the 6.10 alternate install CD, so I installed a command line system only and got it to boot.  I can get into ubuntu using the user I created, but I was never asked to create a root password, and cannot get into the root account.  Is their a default root password?  Also, once I am root, is there some sort of system configuration pr
[12:38] <xixor> ogram I can run which will then configure the rest of the system?  I have left the alternate install cd at home unfortunately.  Is it easier just to download and burn another copy of it?  Thanks
[12:38] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: Im trying to install VLC, sry for the slow response
[12:38] <pirate-king> how do you change your boot splash screen?
[12:38] <eternaljoy> unop: where I get the EXTx driver for windows?
[12:38] <slavik> where is the beryl log?
[12:38] <unop> OneOfTheMany,  well, unofficially i can say that if you add the feisty repos to your edgy install you can install the latest version .. but be warned that you will be presented with other potential problems
[12:39] <eternaljoy> kitche: ok cheers
[12:39] <mjrclark> !sudo > xixor
[12:39] <vox754> !sudo > xixor
[12:39] <kitche> slavik: it's the same as Xorg.0.log
[12:39] <cafuego_> xixor: You login normally, then use sudo. not root.
[12:39] <vox754> !root > xixor
[12:39] <OneOfTheMany> unop: ok thank you :)
[12:40] <unop> eternaljoy,  do you know exactly what filesystems the linux partitions are?
[12:40] <kevum> Evilkiksass: so the installation on Ubuntu fails? Can you tell us the exact command you used to install?
[12:40] <Moxxon> kitche: How do I run a command line?
[12:40] <eternaljoy> unop: ext3
[12:40] <unop> eternaljoy,  ext2/ext3/reiserfs?
[12:40] <eternaljoy> unop: ext3
[12:40] <kitche> Moxxon: open the terminala dn your in the command line
[12:40] <vox754> !splash > pirate-king
[12:40] <Moxxon> dn?
[12:41] <slavik> well, that log tells me nothing
[12:41] <Phuzion> whats the order of the release nicknames from 5.04 on?
[12:41] <Moxxon> Ktiche: I cant paste so how would I right: wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -  ?
[12:41] <StFS> Hello... is there any "official" (read "trustworthy") repository that offers the latest kernel packages for ubuntu? (I'm having problems with my orinoco wireless and I want to try to upgrade the kernel without having to compile one myself)
[12:41] <eternaljoy> unop: http://www.fs-driver.org doesnt support ext3
[12:41] <mjrclark> moxxon: press the alt key and the f2 key at the same time. type gnome-terminal in the box that appears. presss enter.
[12:41] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd
[12:41] <toodles> vox754: Thanks, I'm reading the last thread you sent me. I think it's possible to do this with avahi and local links -- not sure what they are yet, but I'm guessing I'm on the right track. Thanks again.
[12:41] <TTT_Travis> I have an ubuntu computer, I took the hard drive out, moved it to another computer with different hardware, how do I get networking to work? The new computer has onboard networking and it says eth0 no such device
[12:41] <TTT_Travis> is there a way to look for new cards or something
[12:42] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: lshw
[12:42] <xixor> vox754, cafuego: so, after reading that, I take it, you never set a root password?  But use sudo and your users password?
[12:42] <TTT_Travis> k
[12:42] <TTT_Travis> I'll try that
[12:42] <linux_user400354> TTT_Travis search the forum and wiki for the network card
[12:42] <unop> eternaljoy,  sure it does -- an EXT3 Filesystem is basically EXT2 with journalling support included -- see the second FAQ here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fs-driver.org%2Ffaq.html&ei=_m7GRdjeHMPswQHytIyMDg&usg=__MYR2oGLV-ckeARC8ZFPL2dzuXWs=&sig2=aKeEwHPZ_HiO6dlS6kLKEA
[12:42] <eternaljoy> Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe  <--- Does this read my Ubuntu ext3 partition?
[12:42] <EdgEy> is there any way to get the panels in gnome back to default?
[12:42] <EdgEy> i removed the applications, system etc menu by mistake
[12:42] <Moxxon> mrjclarck: I know how to run terminal but how would I put in a long command like: wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -?
[12:42] <eternaljoy> unop: ok thanks :) well then all I need to do is install Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe
[12:42] <EdgEy> now all I can get is a ubuntu logo dropdown
[12:42] <Moxxon> DO I just type it all at once?
[12:42] <doubleA> rodrigo, i raised most of the levels using left and righ tarrows and up down arrows.  but some of them say Off and I dont know how to turn them on
[12:42] <vox754> xixor: yes.Only experts use the "root" account.
[12:42] <Moxxon> Or do i type it one at a time
[12:42] <kitche> eternaljoy: yes ext2 is ext3 same thign really just that ext3 has journaling
[12:42] <linux_user400354> EdgEy dpkg-reconfigure maybe
[12:42] <slavik> Moxxon: copy/paste?
[12:42] <mjrclark> Moxxon: if you select the text and then middle click it should paste the text in. also shift&insert is a common pate shortcut.
[12:42] <kevum> Evilkiksass: do you know which of the two packages is failing?
[12:42] <mjrclark> *paste
[12:42] <winston> how do i set my home directory to be on a separate hdd?
[12:42] <kitche> Moxxon: one at a time depending ont he command
[12:43] <bulmer> Moxxon: type it one at a time til you understood piping
[12:43] <xixor> alright
[12:43] <eternaljoy> kitche: ok! cheers :)  so it seems I just installed Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe and then I can read my ubuntu ext3 partition and copy files from there to my MS Windows c:.  Right?
[12:43] <kitche> eternaljoy: yes
[12:43] <linux_user400354> EdgEy i had a command to do taht a long time ago someone gave me in #gnome but i dont remember it
[12:43] <eternaljoy> kitche: :)
[12:43] <StFS> winston: either mount your /home onto that directory or you can create the user and specify where his home directory should be
[12:43] <xixor> vox754: so, my next question, since I have a command-line only system currently, are there some packages I can use apt to get and install which will automatically detect and configure an X environment, KDE, etc?
[12:43] <EdgEy> linux_user400354, it's only annoying me since the logo is so damn small :P
[12:43] <eternaljoy> ty bye everyone
[12:43] <hbyyb> I came here earlier claiming to have deleted (rm -rf) a lot of files. namely, I deleted over 5000 files and people told me I can't recover them. Well, I proved them wrong :) I'm recovering the files as we speak (although through Windows, but still...)
[12:43] <Moxxon> Damnit this si hard
[12:44] <TTT_Travis> bullmer lshw just outputs hardware information how do I actually reconfigure my network interface to make it try to redetect the new nic
[12:44] <kitche> TTT_Travis: linux does that for you automatically
[12:44] <EdgEy> also, is there a shortcut key to show desktop in gnome?
[12:44] <slavik> I need beryl help, after updating everything, it stopped working :(
[12:44] <unop> hbyyb,  well, you were given the official statement that if files are deleted they are unrecoverable -- but it's known that that doesnt hold true at all nowadays
[12:44] <vox754> !desktop > xixor
[12:44] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: which linux do you have? since you moved it to another box?
[12:45] <kitche> slavik: #ubuntu-effects can help with beryl
[12:45] <linux_user400354> EdgEy yes there is
[12:45] <Moxxon> Hah I found out how to run Bittorrent
[12:45] <slavik> ty
[12:45] <Moxxon> alt+f2 gnome-btdownload
[12:45] <Moxxon> or something
[12:45] <TTT_Travis> bullmer, the hard drive has  acopy on ubuntu server dapper installer
[12:45] <EdgEy> linux_user400354,  i guess that's the first step :p lol thanks
[12:45] <pirate-king> what do you call the first screen you see in ubuntu that is the one I want to change right after grub loader
[12:45] <kitche> pirate-king: that is the usplash
[12:45] <EdgEy> boot splash?
[12:45] <EdgEy> hehe
[12:45] <kitche> !usplash
[12:45] <ubotu> 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
[12:45] <TTT_Travis> bullmer I took that out of a computer and put it in a slightly faster, works fine, but no network
[12:45] <vox754> xixor: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". I'm not sure. I haven't tried what you want to do.
[12:46] <jwtod1> ok .. i did an apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but the nv 8800 script still is looking for libc headers. ideas?
[12:46] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: sorry, the destination os is what?
[12:46] <xixor> vox754: alright, thanks for the advice there, going to give that a shot, thanks!
[12:46] <marting> ps x
[12:46] <TTT_Travis> bullmer what do you mean destination OS? I am just taking swapping the hard drive with a different computer
[12:47] <kitche> bulmer: it's ubuntu most likely on the hard drive
[12:47] <Jrabbit> hello
[12:47] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: different computer but what OS is running on it..i didnt get that from your answer
[12:47] <mjrclark> xixor:  "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" works, but you get gnome not kde, but it is fine. Did it earlier.
[12:47] <jwtod1> ahh ... i need the "libc dev package"
[12:47] <unop> jwtod1,  i think you need these two packages installed libc6-dev and libc6-dbg
[12:47] <jwtod1> anyone know the apt-get for that pup?
[12:47] <jwtod1> unop :)
[12:47] <jwtod1> thx
[12:47] <tom47> !sound
[12:47] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:47] <vox754> jwtod1: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[12:47] <TTT_Travis> TTT_Travis the different computer has no os, just the ubuntu server one off the hard drive I just put in it
[12:47] <unop> jwtod1,  sudo aptitude install libc6-dev libc6-dbg
[12:48] <Moxxon> wtf!
[12:48] <Moxxon> Im trying to use easy ubuntu and I got this error message
[12:48] <vox754> !language
[12:48] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:48] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: how do you expect the other computer to see the added drive without an OS?
[12:48] <unop> Moxxon, kids walk in the room all the time .. please be aware of that
[12:49] <kitche> bulmer: if you watch what he said the hard drive has ubuntu on it the one he added he can boot to it just that it can't see the new network card in that computer
[12:49] <TTT_Travis> bullmer, the drive has the OS on it
[12:49] <kitche> !easyubuntu|Moxxon
[12:49] <ubotu> Moxxon: 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
[12:49] <mjrclark> bulmer: the bios would see the added drive.
[12:49] <bulmer> kitche:  ahh okay
[12:49] <TTT_Travis> I booted off the drive that I took from the old computer
[12:49] <Foolish> is unrar installed by default in ubuntu?
[12:49] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: and it booted okay by moving the drive?
[12:49] <unop> Foolish,  I shouldnt think so .. it's got some restrictions on it, license-wise
[12:50] <trollboy> does ubuntu have the tun driver built in?
[12:50] <vox754> !unrar > Foolish
[12:50] <hbaigu> trollboy, yes
[12:50] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: this is the output im seeing:  http://pastebin.com/875440
[12:50] <TTT_Travis> bulmer yep, just fine, but my network doesn't work because it's still looking for the old card
[12:50] <trollboy> cvpn is complaining its not there
[12:50] <jam> hey guys - i have a question to do with boot floppies.. i've got a linux install on my laptop at the moment but i want to switch to ubuntu. the PCMCIA CD drive i have is a disaster area when it comes to drivers so i can't install from that, and i have a usb memory stick but i can't boot from it. the only thing i can actually boot from is the floppy. so i was wondering if anyone could help me out finding a boot floppy that will allow me
[12:50] <Doc_Bio> can someone name a good citation manager program for ubuntu that will export to ProCite?
[12:50] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: next is to see if the network is detected...look at  dmesg  and see if any network card is recognized
[12:51] <trollboy> trollboy@ubuntu:~/vpn/vpnclient$ /usr/bin/kvpnc  (NEWLINE) Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
[12:51] <EdgEy> um
[12:51] <hbaigu> trollboy, you have to load the module, sudo modprobe tun
[12:51] <GigaClon> I can't get my Fat32 to mount under my username
[12:51] <vox754> jam: you need a new laptop.
[12:51] <EdgEy> if i mark serpentine for removal in Synaptic it tells me it's going to remove ubuntu-desktop
[12:51] <EdgEy> that's just a metapackage right
[12:51] <jam> lol >.< i know
[12:51] <mjrclark> yes
[12:51] <jam> it's a nice old vaio and i can't afford a new one..
[12:52] <trollboy> hbaigu, is it supposed to give no responce?
[12:52] <vox754> jam: what year?
[12:52] <Doc_Bio> citation manager...no one uses one??
[12:52] <Moxxon> How would I install wow in wine?
[12:52] <TTT_Travis> bullmer lshw sees the nic just fine, but how do I actually start the redection process?
[12:52] <TTT_Travis> bulmer *
[12:52] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: system-->administration--> network
[12:52] <TTT_Travis> bulmer this is a server, no gui
[12:52] <hbaigu> trollboy, do lsmod, and see if is loaded
[12:52] <bulmer> then enable it from there
[12:52] <Moxxon> Is there like an step guide how to install WoW using wine?
[12:52] <jam> it's a sony vaio pcg z600 (p3 700, 256mb ram)
[12:53] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: try ifup eth0
[12:53] <jam> i mean it's capable of running it, just need to get an install on there
[12:53] <nicolah> new kernel is out. what will happen ?
[12:53] <vox754> !wine > Moxxon
[12:53] <GigaClon> you prolly can't do it with wine Moxxon, but Cedega would do it
[12:53] <flyingsquirell32> when I put a dvd in my dvd drive it says there's no disc, but if I put a cd in it reads it why? I already installed the dvd codecs according to ubuntuguide.org
[12:53] <kitche> Moxxon: yes winehq.com has a howto
[12:53] <nicolah> flyingsquirell32, probably your dvd-drive is gone
[12:53] <josys36> wine is OK if you can get something working.
[12:54] <Doc_Bio> citation manager?? :)
[12:54] <mjrclark> jam: one probably exists, but you would have to find it yourself.
[12:54] <jam> damn :( i've had no luck so far
[12:54] <flyingsquirell32> nicolah: gone?? no i still see it sitting there in the bay! ;)
[12:54] <trollboy> it is hbaigu
[12:54] <TTT_Travis> bullmer says Bind socket to interface : no such device, failed to bring up eth0
[12:54] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: cat /etc/network/interfaces and tell me which card its coded there

[12:55] <jwtod1> i forget who told me this .. but apt-get install build-essential did the trick.
[12:55] <jam> oh hey i just found one :P
[12:55] <jam> thanks for the help guys :)
[12:55] <jwtod1> i now have a nv 8800 driver installed. we'll see if x finds it on restart :)
[12:55] <TTT_Travis> bulmer just has the loopback and the primary interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
[12:55] <wimpies> Hi all, I have been trying to figure out how to create a bootable CD using k3b. It seems I need a boot.bin which seems to be a floppy image or something.  Since I have no more PC with floppies I wonder How to get a boot.bin
[12:56] <tom47> i am having trouble with sound and video sync
[12:56] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: hang on..let me check something
[12:56] <flyingsquirell32> nicolah: I was hopng for some help. not jokes.
[12:56] <vox754> jwtod1: I did. It's 100 please.
[12:56] <kevum> tom47: is it in a Flash video?
[12:56] <GigaClon> how do I mount a drive so that it is shows up being owned by me and not root
[12:57] <nicolah> I wasn't joking, if you experience that kind of problem maybe your drive is broken
[12:57] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: Here is the output: http://pastebin.com/875448
[12:57] <nicolah> I don't think it's ubuntu fault
[12:57] <tom47> kevum am not certain its in smh site
[12:57] <kevum> tom47: I don't know what that means.
[12:57] <jwtod1> PEOPLE ... i now have x on my new h/w :) dual core x64b, 8800 nv , 4g of mem :)
[12:57] <jwtod1> oh yeah. THX all :)
[12:57] <tom47> oh sorry a newspaper
[12:58] <flyingsquirell32> nicolah; oh. thank you ill try it in another machine. thanks.
[12:58] <nicolah> flyingsquirell32, try with some other dvd disc
[12:58] <kevum> tom47: so it's on a web page?
[12:58] <flyingsquirell32> tried that. the discs are good.
[12:58] <tom47> yes ... looking though it seems top be wmv
[12:58] <tom47> kevum yes ... looking though it seems top be wmv
[12:59] <tom47> to*
[12:59] <kevum> tom47: Hm, I'm familiar with a Flash a/v sync issue, but I don't know about any others.
[12:59] <flyingsquirell32> nicolah: it work when they had window ;\
[12:59] <tom47> ok ty
[12:59] <kevum> tom47: you'll probably need to tell us which plugin is playing the video
[12:59] <tom47> kevum i seem to have it on almost any media
[01:00] <nicolah> try to reboot windows and retry
[01:00] <nicolah> now
[01:00] <unop> GigaClon,  well, the mount manpage has an option named "owner" that allows the owner of a device to mount it .. which effectively gives you what you want
[01:00] <tom47> kevum this one is in vlc
[01:00] <GigaClon> and how would I get that into /etc/fstab?
[01:00] <tom47> but as to codec
[01:00] <ReK_> i need some help with madwifi: i have no ath0 interface and i cant create it because it cant find the cmd wlanconfig
[01:00] <vox754> Got problems with wireless cards? Download the new "ndiswrapper 1.37". Join "#ndiswrapper".
[01:01] <kevum> Evilkiksass: Let's look at the packages that it is refusing to install. Can you do 'apt-cache show vlc-nox'?
[01:01] <TylerC> Has anyone seen It was not possible to make a new partition table before? When I try to reformat it as well, it fails.
[01:01] <Teknos> wifi
[01:01] <slvmchn> how do i update/upgrade my ubuntu install? it's dapper and i want to go edgy
[01:01] <flyingsquirell32> nicolah: ok, thanks.
[01:01] <unop> GigaClon,  you can edit /etc/fstab in your editor -- sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:01] <vox754> GigaClon: "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[01:02] <tom47> kevum i am using the firefox mediaplayer connectivty plugin
[01:02] <kevum> tom47: My understanding is that a lot of times this is due to esd (Enlightenment Sound Deamon). Even if VLC is set to use ALSA, even having esd running may break sync.
[01:02] <elyon225> Anyone here use REALbasic?  I'm having problems that their forums don't mention.
[01:02] <tom47> kevum ok will check
[01:02] <GigaClon> also fstab is using UUID, instead of /dev/hda1
[01:02] <newbie77> Hi! Could someone help me please? I accidentally wrote something to /dev/sda3 before mounting it. Then I fscked sda3, mounted it and had access to the files. But after a reboot the files are gone, except for the one from the beginning!! [panic] 
[01:02] <vox754> slvmchn: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[01:03] <newbie77> how is that possible?
[01:03] <Foolish> What tool can I use to configure the X.org settings in Edgy?
[01:03] <unop> GigaClon,  you can use either or .. device names or UUIDs
[01:03] <Foolish> I can't find anything but the gnome resolution thingy in the menus
[01:03] <tom47> kevum hmmm yes esd is there (sleeping)
[01:03] <Evilkiksass> kevum: Here is the output: http://pastebin.com/875454
[01:03] <slvmchn> vox754 that will install it too? i do'nt have to do "apt-get install"?
[01:03] <mjrclark> slvmchn: do not use apt-get dist upgrade. there is a better manager to do it.
[01:04] <slvmchn> i don't care how i do it as long as it upgrades for me
[01:04] <vox754> GigaClon: It uses both, UUID, and /dev/hdax.
[01:04] <tom47> kevum have killed it will try now
[01:04] <mjrclark> slvmchn: the manager is less liekly to leave you with a broken system.
[01:04] <GigaClon> this is my fstab line: UUID=2418-B11C /storage vfat user,auto,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,uid=1000,exec 0 0
[01:04] <slvmchn> ok what's the manager mjrclarck, synaptic?
[01:04] <vox754> slvmchn: I haven't used it since I did a clean install. "man apt-get"

[01:07] <slvmchn> thanks mjrclark
[01:07] <slvmchn> i don't know why i keep adding that c

[01:08] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: Its telling me that it dosent want to because my proc is i386
[01:08] <kevum> Evilkiksass: Where does it say that?
[01:08] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: In the Ubuntu built in package manager.
[01:09] <slvmchn> what's the latest version? in package manager it says "New distribution release '6.10' is available"
[01:09] <slvmchn> with an upgrade button next to that
[01:09] <slvmchn> is that what i want? or is that just going to update my dapper

[01:20] <Perryman> is 6.10 much less stable than 6.06?
[01:20] <Perryman> i seem to have many issues with crashes
[01:21] <TTT_Travis> bullmer says eth0 and has a mac address
[01:21] <hdz> is there a channel for wireless heh, i cant get any help here
[01:21] <chowdaz> Hello, could someone help me with problems with a downloaded server iso?
[01:21] <hdz> whats wrong with download
[01:21] <kristianlm> perryman: i have started using ubuntu 6.10 and i got a load of softlock freezes at startup when the wireless stich is off at boottime
[01:22] <Perryman> hm
[01:22] <chowdaz> I am getting errors about cortupted files while installing
[01:22] <hdz> kristianim you try safe mode
[01:22] <quiller> I'm running Ubuntu 6.1; sound loads when the OS boots, but not in Amarok...
[01:22] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: does it matches the correct mac address as what you have on your nic card?
[01:22] <Perryman> i have some SATA freezes i need to investigate
[01:22] <hdz> thats how i got past that
[01:22] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: Im having a bit of trouble using vi, however the only uncomented repositorie is the main restricted one.
[01:22] <slumcat> does anybody here use compiz? I tried the compiz channel, but nobody responds
[01:22] <newbie77> someone please?! how could it be possible that "ls /media/sda3" lists 1 7GB file despite /sda3 having not been mounted; while after mounting sda3 "ls /media/sda3" lists several files?
[01:22] <Perryman> chowdaz:  have you tried burning the iso at 4x or less
[01:22] <Perryman> chowdaz: or verifying the cd
[01:22] <hdz> chow: i'd get it from bittorrent
[01:22] <kristianlm> does anyone know if a direct link between two laptops on 1394/firewire should work? i cant get my eth1394 to ping properly
[01:23] <hdz> wont have any problems
[01:23] <Perryman> hdz: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=136
[01:23] <kevum> Evilkiksass: you don't need to use vi. Try gedit instead
[01:23] <hdz> perry?
[01:23] <chowdaz> I tried at 16x, I'll try at 4x. I checked md5 and all is good.
[01:23] <hdz> 16x is fine
[01:23] <TTT_Travis> bullmer can't tell, nic is onboard but I don't think it's the same as the old one, so I am going to go with a yes
[01:23] <kristianlm> hdz: i have tried safe mode too, but same problems. on the forums it seems to be common!
[01:23] <hdz> you just downloaded a corrupted crc
[01:23] <Perryman> hdz: that's the networking forum over at ubuntuforums
[01:23] <TTT_Travis> ubuntu knows the nic is there it just wont use
[01:23] <Perryman> chowdaz: if the cd checks fine it should be fine
[01:24] <kevum> Evilkiksass: in any case, my guess is that you need to enable more repositories, but I don't know exactly which ones
[01:24] <chowdaz> I tried downloading from 3 servers, tried installing using 2 different drives, same error each time
[01:24] <lasse> hi. im trying to write my own shell script. What is the command to go back, or rerun, like "IF $THIS THEN START $HERE AGAIN"?

[01:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cain and able - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:28] <Perryman> np those forums should usually have tons of info

[01:28] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[01:28] <lasse> hbaigu, nice, tahnks :D
[01:28] <GigaClon> h0ndaracer2, what is cain and able?
[01:28] <hdz> chowdaz i used DAP, ie7 and mozzilla mine did too til i got bitlord and d/l'd it from there it came out fine then, i know if it's right when i boot it, use the check cd option after the next d/l
[01:28] <Perryman> does anyone have any advice on how i could downgrade from edgy eft to dapper drake properly?
[01:29] <hdz> dont download it to the same directory too
[01:29] <Vuen> Perryman: um, i don't know if that's really doable...
[01:29] <h0ndaracer2> it is a network sniffer and anilizer for windows os
[01:29] <Perryman> it's not explicitly supported... :)
[01:29] <Mark_Iron> HI .. I have a problem with feisty ans ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi Board .. (Core 2 Duo) .. the LiveCD stops nothing happens ... ANY Idea what is going on ? - thank you in advance! ;-)

[01:29] <chowdaz> good, I'll try that, thanks for the advice
[01:29] <frank___> Perryman: probably better to backup your /home directory and reinstall dapper
[01:29] <h0ndaracer2> oxid.it has it
[01:29] <hdz> there is downgrading in the faq but it's most likely not to work
[01:29] <Vuen> h0ndaracer2: is it spelled "abel"?
[01:29] <TTT_Travis> bulmer neither give mac, but lshw says *-network DISABLED
[01:29] <TTT_Travis> how do enable
[01:29] <Perryman> i've got /home on a separate party
[01:30] <frank___> Perryman: even better
[01:30] <Vuen> Perryman: in that case you're best just tarring up /etc and formatting
[01:30] <Perryman> what goes in /etc
[01:30] <Vuen> Perryman: all your config files
[01:30] <Perryman> sorry, not too familiar with the dir layout
[01:30] <Perryman> oh i should probably save /boot/grub too
[01:30] <h0ndaracer2> its spelled cain and abel
[01:31] <newbie77> other people wanting to help + hdz: I already installed dd_rescue on Ubuntu. I already saved 7GB from my harddrive to /media/sda3 (accidentally while it was not mounted) and then saved around 10 GB to /media/sda3 after mounting it. Now how to I resolve this mess at sda3 please?
[01:31] <h0ndaracer2> sry thats how its spelled
[01:31] <brother> is there a way to detect and correct hung network mounts?

[01:32] <kevum> Evilkiksass: Yeah, I think you need to enable more repositories
[01:32] <frank___> why is there a usb-storage process in my process list? isn't it just a module?

[01:33] <eitan> ugh...problem with broken dependencies originating from libavahi-client3, any help as to what this is?
[01:33] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: then do a ethtool -i eth0   to tell you which driver it loaded for it
[01:33] <slvmchn> so i updated in package manager, but it didn't ask to restart, is that normal?
[01:33] <hdz> i dont see how it would prob went to null
[01:33] <slvmchn> do i just reboot now?
[01:33] <hdz> chow: you still here
[01:33] <newbie77> hdz: but why ls would list that file?
[01:33] <Moxxon> Do I put this in terminal to run client installer in Wine:  cd /home/dumschat/wowclient-downloader.exe/
[01:33] <Moxxon>  wine Installer.exe
[01:33] <Moxxon> ?
[01:33] <kevum> Evilkiksass: At the least, I think you need Universe enabled
[01:33] <chowdaz> hdz: I'm here
[01:33] <zyth> Moxxon, yep
[01:33] <hdz> writing to /tmp maybe?
[01:33] <Moxxon> Its not workin

[01:33] <hdz> there's bettter linux experts here then me
[01:33] <Moxxon> oops
[01:33] <bulmer> slvmchn: in linux it does need to reboot after an update, occasionally it may for a kernel update but not often
[01:33] <hdz> they'd know

[01:34] <Moxxon> Do I need windows installed?
[01:35] <hdz> no
[01:35] <Moxxon> to run wine?
[01:35] <hdz> well, no not to install it
[01:35] <newbie77> hdz: any particular channel you would suggest?
[01:35] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: iftool?
[01:35] <hdz> but what'd be the point
[01:35] <hdz> #linuxhelp
[01:35] <knovak> Is there anywhere I can download new screensavers/get a tutorial on making screen savers for Ubuntu
[01:35] <ck42> crimsun: wow....ok.  thnx

[01:36] <hdz> newbie77: i wouldn't stay away from this channel, ppl here are really smart they're just available different times
[01:36] <TTT_Travis> yeah
[01:36] <woops> o

[01:37] <hdz> but i'm even havin trouble and i've been runnin slackware since it came out basically
[01:37] <hdz> np
[01:37] <Moxxon> hdz: What do you mean not to install it? How do I install a windows program?
[01:37] <brother> does ubuntu use auto-fs?
[01:37] <Moxxon> Like I want to run a wow exe
[01:37] <TTT_Travis> bullmer if I do that command with eth1 it gives output
[01:37] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: no way..
[01:37] <Perryman> newbie77: check ubuntuforums.org and linuxquestions too, they're very helpful sources of information
[01:37] <hdz> you said do you need windows to install wine
[01:37] <bulmer> whats in iftool?
[01:37] <Perryman> especially when you can't get anyone that seems to know here
[01:38] <hdz> what would be the point to install if you don't have wine
[01:38] <hdz> er windows
[01:38] <Vuen> ?
[01:38] <Moxxon> So..
[01:38] <brother> or how does ubuntu manage mounts atleast?
[01:38] <Moxxon> Do I need windows on another partition or no?
[01:38] <Moxxon> IM sorry im novice I just got linux this morning
[01:38] <Vuen> you definitely do NOT need windows to use wine
[01:38] <hdz> how do you mean
[01:38] <TTT_Travis> bulmer with eth0 it says device not found
[01:38] <Moxxon> Like I know in parallels you need windows too
[01:38] <mjr> brother, pluggable and removable media are handled by hal/pmount
[01:38] <bulmer> TTT_Travis: no such command of iftool
[01:38] <Vuen> Moxxon: wine is a replacement for the standard windows libraries. you don't need windows.
[01:38] <Moxxon> Ok
[01:38] <hdz> yeah you dont need windows to install wine but that's pretty much what the project was aimed at
[01:39] <brother> mjr, whats the best way to handle a network drive?
[01:39] <Vuen> hdz: what on earth are you talking about?
[01:39] <Moxxon> Why does it say this
[01:39] <Moxxon> when I try and run an exe
[01:39] <hdz> ug talkin to 10 ppl here
[01:39] <brother> IE, if the network goes down it unmounts and when it comes back up it remounts it?
[01:39] <Moxxon> wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\installer.exe":
[01:39] <Moxxon> Thats what it says when I try to run an exe
[01:40] <hdz> is it all config'd
[01:40] <Vuen> Moxxon: what command are you using?
[01:40] <Moxxon> Umm
[01:40] <TTT_Travis> bulmer, got it working on eth1
[01:40] <Moxxon>  cd /home/dumschat/wowclient-downloader.exe/
[01:40] <Moxxon>  wine Installer.exe
[01:40] <sleepy723> what is svn and how do I use it?

[01:40] <Vuen> Moxxon: have you run winecfg?
[01:40] <Moxxon> No
[01:40] <Moxxon> How do I do that?
[01:40] <Vuen> Moxxon: type winecfg, click Drives, make sure your cdrom is there (DO NOT click autoconfigure), then click ok
[01:41] <Moxxon> winecfg in terminal?

[01:46] <tom47> kevum seems to have solved that sound issue  ....... now to stop esd daemon starting in the first place
[01:46] <grte> Ineedhelpwithubu: Try sudo apt-get remove libgcj
[01:46] <Ineedhelpwithubu> E: Couldn't find package libgcj
[01:46] <hdz> that's what i got with the last part in the command to get usb linksys workin, but does not provide any info about address
[01:46] <termos> i got two soundcards, one on-board and one sb live!, seems like ubuntu refuses to play sound out of any. i don't know if i'm using alsa or oss or esd because ubuntu came with everything.  just want to use my old emu10k oss driver and play some music, is that going to be hard?
[01:46] <grte> Weird.
[01:47] <SnowPunk98> Hello can anyone help me out with getting my NIC installed on my E1705 laptop
[01:47] <suzumiya> i have a question, for a server system i changed the server to have a static ip address, rather than grabbing one off of my router. however, by doing so i can't seem to use apt-get for any programs.
[01:47] <SnowPunk98> It didnt seem to install during installation
[01:47] <hdz> anyone know the command to switch to ipv4
[01:47] <Ineedhelpwithubu> I already did dpkg -r gij
[01:47] <Ineedhelpwithubu> that's all I have done
[01:47] <Ineedhelpwithubu> and I think it removed it
[01:47] <stephen> how do i get into the channel runescape
[01:47] <hdz> dont you need dhcp instead of static
[01:47] <Ineedhelpwithubu> but when I type java it goes GIJ options...
[01:47] <stephen> idk how to get into the channel runescape
[01:47] <stephen> i want to get in
[01:48] <SnowPunk98> Hellos
[01:48] <SnowPunk98> lololo
[01:48] <unop> hdz,  ipv4 and ipv6 co-exist quite well -- you dont switch from one to another
[01:48] <suzumiya> but doesn;t it need to be static in order to access it through any other program
[01:48] <hdz> i think it's messing up what shows up in this pci 2.0 card for usb linksys showing any address info
[01:48] <hdz> the last part of the faq i cant get past
[01:48] <Moxxon> Vuen: Im still getting the same message
[01:48] <Hisakasex> does anyone know a channel where I can get help with assembly?
[01:48] <stephen> anybody here know how to get into channel runescape
[01:49] <stephen> all it sais is you need permission to enter
[01:49] <tom47> suzumiya some routers will let you set a dhcp static address in the router itself using the mac id .....
[01:49] <unop> suzumiya,  well, why are you supposing it's due to IP addressing that apt-get doesnt work? do other network applications work ok? does apt-get give you any errors?
[01:49] <Moxxon> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows etc
[01:49] <hdz> it says it's there, knows what it is, im havin a prob if you can msg me man please :)
[01:50] <Moxxon>  Vuen: cd /home/dumschat/wowclient-downloader.exe/
[01:50] <Moxxon>  wine Installer.exe  <---- Then I get wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\installer.exe"
[01:50] <hdz> i have the 11mbps usb 2 ports but am using the linksys usb wireless through pci2.0 pci card for the usb
[01:50] <suzumiya> yeah, actually it gives me unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing
[01:50] <Rappermas> I'm having trouble compiling libfwbuilder--I run the configure script and then I don't know what to do next--I can't make or anything
[01:50] <hdz> i think it's like 'what are you doing making me route through hardware'
[01:50] <arrenlex> How would I use the compose key to create the  character? compose+shift+;+o (compose+:+o) doesn't work.
[01:50] <Rappermas> how do you even compile things with qmake?
[01:51] <hdz> heh i dunno try it in terminal with alt key
[01:51] <suzumiya> so unop, do you reccomend changing it back to dchp and removing the general items such as address, broadcast, ect?
[01:51] <hdz> i would
[01:51] <tefflon> anyone run ubuntu on a dell laptop  ?
[01:52] <suzumiya> alright, ill try that
[01:52] <Rappermas> who uses qmake anyway?
[01:52] <Rappermas> what's wrong with standard GNU tools?
[01:52] <Moxxon> Somebody help! wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\Installer.exe": Module not found
[01:52] <hdz> dell dual xeon
[01:52] <Moxxon> dumschat@dumschat-desktop:~$
[01:52] <Moxxon> Thats what I get when I try and run an exe
[01:52] <Moxxon> through wine
[01:52] <stephan21> anyone here play day of defeat source??
[01:52] <unop> suzumiya, well, either works -- if it's a server that you need to access by an dedicated IP address over time, then you should use a ststic IP address or get the DHCP server to issue the same IP address to that device all the time
[01:52] <tefflon> I want to run /whois tefflon
[01:52] <Genfoo> is it possible to run ubuntu on a laptop with a 650 MHz PIII and 64MB RAM ?
[01:52] <hdz> suz: unop is right
[01:53] <suzumiya> unop, it it supposed to be a mail server, and i would assume that it needs to be static
[01:53] <unop> suzumiya,  but you didnt answer the question of whether other network applications work alright?
[01:53] <hdz> genfoo: you should have 192, you never know tho, i seriously doubt it, unless you're doing console driven alone
[01:53] <Rappermas> has anyone ever compiled fwbuilder?
[01:53] <Rappermas> for some reason, ubuntu's repos are OLD
[01:53] <suzumiya> i don't think that they will
[01:53] <Genfoo> hdz, graphical ;)
[01:53] <Genfoo> I might go DSL
[01:53] <Genfoo> damn small linux
[01:53] <Rappermas> you'd think that debian would have the most up to date repos
[01:53] <hdz> well
[01:53] <Rappermas> but the thing is older than blue cheese
[01:53] <suzumiya> do you have any i can test, it's only a fresh intstall at the moment
[01:53] <Genfoo> DSL uses 30 MB with everything running ;-D
[01:54] <tefflon> i'm wonderring how I can install ubuntu on my laptop when I dont have a cd drive
[01:54] <Rappermas> it's about 11 minor versions off
[01:54] <Genfoo> not ever
[01:54] <hdz> ubuntu seems pretty consuming for its gui
[01:54] <Rappermas> it's ridiculous
[01:54] <Genfoo> actually i think its 17MB
[01:54] <unop> suzumiya,  well, that depends on the other networking infrastructure .. firewalls, route filters, port forwarding etc .. but yea, quite simply, it's easier to keep it static
[01:54] <tefflon> can I install ubuntu from my usb ?
[01:54] <hdz> yes
[01:54] <Genfoo> :o
[01:54] <dyoung_> Anyone willing to help me with my Netgear WG111 Wirless USB adapter?
[01:54] <Genfoo> allright. well i guess then that is not an option :-(
[01:54] <stephan21> when a grenade blows up by me on day of defeat my system lags hard for 5secs
[01:54] <hdz> i'd do it on bootup tho no vpc install
[01:54] <Rappermas> lol, i guess no one knows what fwbuilder is
[01:54] <suzumiya> unop, it's at static still, but maybe i should change some of hte ip settings away from such a standard address
[01:54] <Rappermas> see, the problem is, we have 2.0.9 in the repos
[01:54] <Genfoo> stephan21, particles
[01:54] <Rappermas> but that's old
[01:55] <Genfoo> check your particle settings
[01:55] <Rappermas> i can't even read some of the files that i have created for our servers
[01:55] <unop> suzumiya, can you ping and browse a webpage say www.google.com?
[01:55] <Hisakasex> I need help with assembly
[01:55] <Rappermas> which is ridiculous
[01:55] <Rappermas> i've tried compiling from source
[01:55] <Vuen> Moxxon: hmm. sorry, i don't know how to fix it :(
[01:55] <stephan21> Genfoo: what are particles
[01:55] <Genfoo> stephan21, chances are your gfx card can't handle the sm0ke
[01:55] <Rappermas> which is where i start running into problems with qmake
[01:55] <Rappermas> i think qmake sucks, it doesn't even work
[01:55] <Vuen> Moxxon: you can hop over to #winehq and ask the guys there
[01:55] <Genfoo> qmake sux
[01:55] <Genfoo> :P
[01:55] <hdz> arp -a gateway if theres a response there a problem
[01:55] <Rappermas> you can't run any standard commands or anything like that
[01:55] <Genfoo> what an accurate statement
[01:55] <Moxxon> kk
[01:56] <Rappermas> and i need to build this library and package
[01:56] <Rappermas> but noooo, some half-asleep fool decided to use qmake
[01:56] <Rappermas> and now i can't build fwbuilder
[01:56] <Rappermas> oh sure, there's versions in the repos that are months old
[01:56] <hdz> aight, anyone with wireless help to give, it's not really wireless too thats the problem
[01:56] <unop> Rappermas,  well, maybe we could help if you pastebin the errors you see there
[01:56] <Evilkiksass> Kevum: I am looking back at that file and I realized there were 2 uncomented repositories, edgy main restricted and edgy-updates main restricted, should that be enough?
[01:56] <Rappermas> there aren't any errors
[01:56] <Rappermas> it just doesn't do anything
[01:57] <Rappermas> it's like a command that runs and never does anything
[01:57] <Rappermas> just prints a blank line and returns
[01:57] <hdz> is it going to dev/null
[01:57] <hdz> hehe
[01:57] <Rappermas> so i figure, oh sure, everything is fine
[01:57] <Rappermas> it compiled
[01:57] <zcat[1] >  /bin/true ?
[01:57] <Rappermas> and i need to install it
[01:57] <Rappermas> right
[01:57] <Rappermas> can't
[01:57] <hdz> hrm
[01:57] <Rappermas> qmake install
[01:57] <Rappermas> doesn't do anything
[01:58] <unop> Rappermas,  is there a README or INSTALL file there in that directory? perhaps you need to ensure some prerequisites before going on to do make .. like ./configure, etc
[01:58] <hdz> you dont have any verbose info
[01:58] <Rappermas> already ran configure
[01:58] <Rappermas> no readme
[01:58] <Rappermas> no install
[01:58] <unop> !enter | Rappermas
[01:58] <ubotu> Rappermas: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:58] <Rappermas> which is why i'm kind of mad at whoever devs this
[01:58] <hdz> yeah that's not wise
[01:58] <suzumiya> whats the command to ping in linux again?
[01:58] <Rappermas> ping
[01:58] <juano__> suzumiya: ping
[01:58] <suzumiya> ping - what
[01:59] <hdz> i know someone in here has gotten wireless to work through pci2.0 card :(
[01:59] <Rappermas> the ip address
[01:59] <bulmer> hostname
[01:59] <Rappermas> oh wait, there's a VERSION file
[01:59] <Rappermas> am i lucky or what?
[01:59] <juano__> suzumiya: ping <iporname>
[01:59] <unop> Rappermas,  errm, have you tried using make or dmake instead of qmake?
[01:59] <unop> suzumiya,  ping google.com
[01:59] <Rappermas> unop: they run tons of errors
[01:59] <Rappermas> return*
[01:59] <termos> does anyone know why i don't get any sound on ubuntu, having two soundcards?
[02:00] <shadowhywind> hay all, just did a fresh install, and now my keys are like sticky, they will double random letters, any ideas?
[02:00] <unop> Rappermas,  errm, well, let's have a look at them, you probably could work around that
[02:00] <hbaigu> Hisakasex, here is not the right place for that question, maybe i can help, join #assembly
[02:00] <bulmer> termos: i dont know, but can they possibly have an IRQ conflict?
[02:00] <Rappermas> it's all errors unop, i don't think i'm supposed to compile it with anything but qmake
[02:00] <musya> anybody know of a good music player for ubuntu?
[02:00] <Rappermas> amarok
[02:01] <xp> amarok!
[02:01] <unop> termos,  it's likely that your sound subsystem is picking one card as default  -- check with asoundconf
[02:01] <bulmer> shadowhywind: can you try tput -reset
[02:01] <RxDx> musya, try Banshee
[02:01] <termos> bulmer: no they have different irq adreses according to lspci
[02:01] <bulmer> shadowhywind: can you try tput reset  minus the -
[02:01] <shadowhywind> bulmer tput: invalid option -- r
[02:01] <shadowhywind> hehe
[02:01] <hdz> i feel like rippin my freakin hair out
[02:01] <unop> hdz,  whats your problem again?/
[02:02] <shadowhywind> well no errors from that command bulmer
[02:02] <bulmer> shadowhywind: that only resets it..
[02:02] <Rappermas> maybe there's someone on the kde channel that loves qmake and knows what to do in these casees
[02:02] <ubuntii> Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS <- anyone here using this? please pvt-me
[02:02] <shadowhywind> oh
[02:02] <bulmer> now do you still get repeated chars?
[02:03] <shadowhywind> i will have to try it out and see what happens. its wasn't allways happening, just sorta of random
[02:03] <hdz> im trying to get address info on wireless usb linksys connected to pci 2.0 expansion card, followed the faq step by step and i cant get past one part, i have the output info for every step in the faq, i dont wanna post in channel so you could prob direct me right away what i need to do if you can msg me? please :)
[02:03] <steve__> Hi.I tried to install Ubuntu7.04 Herd3. The installer stop after "detecting cd-rom hardware". Waiting 3-4 minutes it proceed to detect HW and hang there for ever. Anyone know if this has been reported. Note that I'm running 6.10 with no problem... Thanks

[02:04] <hdz> i do not get a capabilities response, that's the problem
[02:04] <shadowhywind> belmur i will test things out and come back if i have issues. Thanks for thehelp
[02:04] <steve__> thanks Flannel
[02:04] <suzumiya> i had to step away for a second, i tried "ping google.com" and "ping www.google.com" and it only come up with unknown host

[02:05] <bulmer> suzumiya: your dns working okay?
[02:05] <unop> suzumiya,  well, there's your problem -- verify that you have a default gateway set and that you can ping it (the router) .. then check if you can do DNS lookups using nslookup
[02:05] <hdz> ah unop you could prob direct me right away if i could just show you somethin :\
[02:05] <unop> hdz,  sure, just pastebin what you are seeing and i'll have a look
[02:05] <tom47> !esd
[02:05] <ubotu> esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead
[02:05] <lordkeiden> unop: you were trying to help me lastnight with my wifi problem.
[02:06] <suzumiya> i have it set, it's at 192.168.0.255
[02:06] <tom47> !sound
[02:06] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:06] <shutterbc> Still having alsa issues -- say, if I manually compile alsa, does that mean I won't be able to install from packages anymore?
[02:06] <unop> lordkeiden,  but werent you named ladykeiden or something like that lastnight? :>
[02:06] <hdz> !ndis
[02:06] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:06] <lordkeiden> yes. i was on my wifes lappy
[02:06] <unop> suzumiya,  so can you ping 192.168.0.255 ?
[02:06] <hdz> i guess i'll read them all again and get to the same spot as last time
[02:07] <unop> lordkeiden,  right ok, cool, did you manage to get your problem sorted then?
[02:07] <ubuntu> hi
[02:07] <suzumiya> it can't
[02:07] <Flannel> suzumiya: that's a rather uncommon gateway.  Usually it's 0.1, not 0.255
[02:07] <suzumiya> wiat, i mean 0.1
[02:07] <suzumiya> it gives destination host undreachable
[02:07] <xtknight> is there any way to execute an application every time the screen saver exits?  (my gamma profile is getting wiped when the screensaver exits)
[02:07] <lordkeiden> unop. the fix was to kill firehol, which i didn't even know got installed. it must have been installed when i upgraded from edgy to feisty.
[02:07] <unop> hdz,  flannel is right -- 255 presents an unusable address
[02:08] <ubuntu> mmmmm
[02:08] <lordkeiden> unop: i booled into the 2.6.20 recovery mode kernel and saw firehol start.
[02:09] <unop> suzumiya,  well, check another computer to see what the default gateway is and then change this accordingly .. some routers have an ip address set as 192.168.1.254 or so
[02:09] <suzumiya> it was actaully 192.168.0.1. i typed the wrong it
[02:09] <lordkeiden> booted.
[02:09] <hdz> unop: if wireless does not show up in gui network settings, my modem and wired card does, so i guess its not recognizing driver but it's listed in multiple commands, do i need ndis wrapper then find the driver?
[02:09] <suzumiya> oh
[02:09] <suzumiya> i didnt know that
[02:09] <suzumiya> thanks
[02:09] <Onburiiku> I have a problem
[02:09] <hdz> it just shows that my usb is running at 488mb/sec nothing about an address
[02:09] <unop> hdz,  well first off, can ifconfig list your interface?
[02:09] <hdz> and gives me the pcicard to usb  link
[02:09] <Evilkiksass> How can I edit sources.list if it is a read only file?
[02:10] <Flannel> Evilkiksass: use sudo to edit it
[02:10] <Onburiiku> When I try and access the drive my Windows is stored on, it gives me this error... http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8633/screenshotnautilusks7.png
[02:10] <Flannel> Evilkiksass: or gksudo, for graphical editors
[02:10] <Onburiiku> What's the problem and how do I fix it?
[02:10] <unop> Evilkiksass,  it's writeable only by root -- so you need to use sudo to invoke the editor on it

[02:11] <unop> lordkeiden,  yw :)
[02:11] <hdz> lemme check my log
[02:12] <lordkeiden> I'll be back with more breakage later. (where is that 2.6 kernel nightly source tarball now?)
[02:12] <hdz> hey

[02:12] <hdz> i'm gonna reboot and go through all the commands again
[02:12] <hdz> you gonna be here

[02:16] <musya> how do i check for my harddrive? the consistency and its status?
[02:17] <frogzoo> musya: smartmontools
[02:17] <unop> musya,  fdisk lists the various devices, hdparm some useful details about HDDs and fsck (*CAREFUL*) to check the filesystem

[02:19] <lordkeiden> ubotu: I havn't been able to get a clear idea of the benefit and performance impact that rolling my own kernel would have. I have done it in the past successfully with mandrake 8.0 and the 2.4 series kernel. The machine is a lappy, so the hardware will be consistant except hard drives and cd\dvd drives, and usb devices. I intend on running 2gb of ram, and i understand that the 2.6 kernel has some big ram specific features
[02:19] <lordkeiden> that may not be in a generic kernel. what is the opinion here on the subject?
[02:19] <Evilkiksass> xtknight: It seem that if i edit sources.list to use all ftp instead of http everything works
[02:20] <suzumiya> alright, so i changed to the default gateway to the same number as my routers, and it couldn't ping it
[02:20] <musya> unop: thanks
[02:20] <xtknight> Evilkiksass: odd. http works for me though
[02:20] <xtknight> Evilkiksass: maybe the cache for that specific http url is corrupt.
[02:20] <lordkeiden> ubotu is a bot?! grrr...and wow, smart bot.
[02:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot?! grrr...and wow, smart bot. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:21] <unop> ha ha
[02:21] <LjL> or not.
[02:21] <lordkeiden> lmao
[02:21] <Evilkiksass> xtknight:  very possible, in addition this fixed the issue of it not letting me install 90% of programs because I am i386 based.
[02:21] <lordkeiden> newbies...go figure!
[02:21] <suzumiya> unop, did you hear? i changed my gateway to match the same as my router and it did nothing, since i couldnt ping hte router gateway from my ip address
[02:22] <OlgaB> hmm
[02:22] <unop> suzumiya,  errm, your workstation/server's default gateway must the IP address of the LAN side of the router (not the same as the default gateway of the router)
[02:22] <OlgaB> Why was the executable for adept changed to adept_manager?
[02:23] <suzumiya> oh
[02:23] <sontek> Hey, When I go into edit mode in vi and use the arrow keys it inserts letters, is there a way to fix this?

[02:23] <toze_pt> hello
[02:23] <unop> suzumiya,  heh don't, everyone's unclear about these issues when they start out
[02:23] <toze_pt> any portuguese there?
[02:23] <unop> suzumiya,  so, if your routers IP address is say 192.168.1.254 .. then your server's default gateway must be that
[02:24] <NeoGeo64> i need to know how to install visra
[02:24] <toze_pt> or anyone who speaks portuguese?
[02:24] <unop> !pt
[02:24] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.

[02:26] <PORDO> how would i mount a my SD card reader that is usb?
[02:27] <devilsadvocate> PORDO, plug it in :)
[02:27] <PORDO> it's plugged in.
[02:27] <PORDO> what is the device called, so i can mount it?
[02:27] <devilsadvocate> put a card into it
[02:27] <devilsadvocate> it should automount
[02:27] <PORDO> there is one.
[02:27] <unop> m0nk3ym4n,  are you using the command line FTP client?
[02:27] <PORDO> ehm.  nope.
[02:27] <devilsadvocate> PORDO, ok. open up a terminal and type "dmesg"
[02:27] <suzumiya> so i changed it correctly this time, and now it says "Network is unreachable" when i try to ping the correct gateway. I also tried to go and do "/etc/init.d/networking restart" and i recieved the error "failed to bring up eth0"
[02:28] <tefflon> can I install ubuntu from my usb drive ?

[02:29] <unop> suzumiya,  did you use sudo in relation to restarting networking? because you would expect these slightly misleading errors otherwise?
[02:29] <devilsadvocate> PORDO, then your disk is sda
[02:29] <tefflon> devilsadvocate is it possible to install it from my hard drive to my usb drive ?
[02:29] <PORDO> and?
[02:29] <suzumiya> i did use sudo. i've made sure that i do all changes from root
[02:29] <devilsadvocate> tefflon, if your bios supports booting off thusb (most new ones do) you should be able to
[02:29] <lordkeiden> NeoGeo64: put vista oem disk on sidewalk in front of a 3 story building, minimum. Go to roof of said building. carefully position pc over dvd. release pc. go down to retrieve you freshly upgraded windows Vista PC. enjoy.
[02:29] <devilsadvocate> PORDO, to mount it , you need to mount a specific partition
[02:29] <FiBo1984> yeah PORDO, but when i click on the file two times, it would be opend with rythebox
[02:30] <unop> suzumiya,  ok, can you !pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces contents please?
[02:30] <FiBo1984> +m
[02:30] <factboy818181> i come here too often >.<  anyways, is there anyway to get ubuntu to reliniquish control of some usb ports temporarily/permanently so i can print from my vmware guest as ubuntu keeps on blocking it...

[02:30] <NeoGeo64> I need a keygen for Ubuntu 6.10 can anyone help plz kthx
[02:30] <PORDO> FiBo1984 right click and set the default program to xmms.
[02:30] <suzumiya> hold on a  sec
[02:30] <tefflon> instead of from a cd ?

[02:43] <xixor> so, question about using my wifi adapter.  My notebook has an internal intel pro/wireless 3945ABG network controller.  If I go lspci, it shows up, so I take that to mean that the hardware is detected and a driver is installed?  when I type iwconfig, I see: lo, eth0, irda0, sit0, but no wifi0, or wlan0.  Is there something else I need to do use the wireless device?
[02:43] <ReKlipz> no problem, if you go up one page, it will tell how to do it via a network install
[02:43] <Kusher> hbaigu: I will resort to that when forums and chats and those within decide not to share that info.
[02:44] <hdz> enable it in network-admin
[02:44] <mysta> how do I know if I have the latest & best nvidia drivers installed?
[02:44] <hdz> but it's probably not there

[02:44] <Kusher> what about drivers? Where do these fkers get installed?
[02:44] <FiBo1984> devilsadvocate: i can open, but ubuntu doesnt ask for changing the default app. i use ubuntu 6.06

[02:48] <Znuff> fsck,
[02:48] <hdz> it tells you exactly what to do and where you have a problem
[02:48] <rukuartic> cafuego_: You know where kernel panic logs would be?
[02:48] <diskus> no sane people would use webmin
[02:48] <Znuff> cafuego, and there's no substitute?
[02:49] <devilsadvocate> webmin?
[02:49] <hdz> unop please wake up man :)
[02:49] <shutterbc> I used to use webmin... much less now that I'm learning more on my own.  I'll admit it's a nice start though.
[02:49] <cafuego_> rukuartic: They may not be logged to file, depending on how bad the crash was. Check /var/log/kern.log
[02:49] <Znuff> I wanted to set it up for a friend :-/
[02:49] <suzumiya> devilsadvocATE, im on a seperate machine than my linux box
[02:49] <cafuego_> Znuff: I use it for clients' machines. Works fine.
[02:49] <rukuartic> cafuego_: Geez there it is! <3 Thank you!
[02:49] <suzumiya> it makes it a little hard to pastebin
[02:49] <ReKlipz> ubotu, please tell unop about wakeup
[02:49] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, are you next to your box?
[02:49] <daviey> Hi, i have a Bluetooth issue, hcitool doesn't know it exsists and gnome-bluetooth doesn't do anything  Any ideas? ; lsmod | grep bluetooth returns "bluetooth              55268  4 rfcomm,l2cap"
[02:49] <suzumiya> eya
[02:50] <suzumiya> yes
[02:50] <Znuff> cafuego, uhm... how about modules?
[02:50] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, i understand :) . ifconfig then
[02:50] <hdz> devil: can you help me with what i was supposed to give to unop
[02:50] <xixor> shutterbc: no, I haven't installed any additional driver sfor the card
[02:50] <cafuego_> Znuff: how about 'em?
[02:50] <devilsadvocate> look at it
[02:50] <suzumiya> alright
[02:50] <yellow> NeoGeo64, you just wasted 5 min of my time with the cnn thing
[02:50] <hdz> please
[02:50] <suzumiya> i need to reboot, damn power surges
[02:50] <Znuff> cafuego, does the deb from sf.net include all available modules?
[02:50] <devilsadvocate> hdz,  i dont know what you need :P
[02:50] <yellow> >_<
[02:50] <cafuego_> Znuff: To the best of my knowledge, yes.
[02:50] <hdz> i have all output commands for my linksys connected to my usb2.0 pci
[02:50] <hdz> here
[02:50] <hdz> accept this please
[02:50] <Znuff> uhm, I'll try it
[02:51] <TTT_Travis> hi, network transfers on one of my ubuntu computers is amazingly slow, is it maybe in 10mbp mode instead of 10/100, if so how do I switch it?
[02:51] <devilsadvocate> what is webmin :|
[02:51] <xixor> shutterbc: I have read a few sites of installing ubuntu on notebooks that use this card, and they all say it works out of the box with 6.06 and 6.10
[02:51] <cafuego_> Znuff: it certainly works fine for configuring samba and mail for my clienst
[02:51] <devilsadvocate> hdz , wifi?
[02:51] <daviey> !webmin | devilsadvocate
[02:51] <ubotu> devilsadvocate: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[02:51] <cafuego_> devilsadvocate: a browser based admin tool that shouldn't be used if you don't *have* to
[02:51] <Znuff> I'm more interested in apache
[02:51] <devilsadvocate> just curious daviey . i use lamp
[02:51] <daviey> ubotu, i dind't know we had a problem with webmin
[02:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i dind't know we had a problem with webmin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:51] <hdz> please accept that devil
[02:52] <devilsadvocate> !lamp | znuff
[02:52] <ubotu> znuff: 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+)
[02:52] <Znuff> devilsadvocate, excuse me?
[02:52] <hdz> yyou'll be able to tell me right away what i need
[02:52] <devilsadvocate> hdz , accept what?
[02:52] <hdz> dcc
[02:52] <xixor> shutterbc: I have not installed wpasupplicant package, maybe that could be it?
[02:52] <suzumiya> uh, anything specfig from ifconfig
[02:52] <daviey> devilsadvocate, tbh i expected a better description than that!!!  it's a web admin tool; very good..... but seems ubuntu doesn't like it (news to me)
[02:52] <suzumiya> results are rather long to retype
[02:52] <vox754> Any experience with  Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder, card=4 -> ATI TV Wonder Pro, please answer
[02:52] <kris_> how come no one can access my httpd and auth ports when this box is set as dmz on my router?
[02:52] <hdz> wific my output file for a lot of commands for this usb 2.0 pci to linksys usb setup
[02:52] <devilsadvocate> znuff, you wanted apache?
[02:53] <kris_> the ports are open on my box, but no one else can access them
[02:53] <shutterbc> xixor, you don't need wpasupplicant to see your device
[02:53] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, do you see eth0?
[02:53] <cafuego_> vox754: You want 931 people to say "no" ?
[02:53] <Znuff> devilsadvocate, dude, don't bother, if you didn't know what webmin is you probably couldn't help me with my problems.
[02:53] <suzumiya> yea
[02:53] <hdz> devilsadvocate: can you accept dcc
[02:53] <rukuartic> cafuego_: I think I found it, but there's nothing in the log about the kernel panic. And I rebooted the box before I caught the complete message. Any comments?
[02:53] <devilsadvocate> hdz, no
[02:53] <hdz> please help me here
[02:53] <hdz> damn
[02:53] <shutterbc> xixor, I have the same card as you... I forget what I did to make it work but I believe there are some nonfree drivers
[02:53] <hdz> ive been here hours
[02:53] <suzumiya> eth0 is first half devilsadvocate
[02:53] <cafuego_> rukuartic: Probably it wasn't logged; you do *not* want a broken kernel to be writing stuff to disk eh...
[02:54] <vox754> cafuego: ha, ha, come on. It's for a good cause.
[02:54] <hdz> unop where are u :(
[02:54] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, type "ifup eth0"
[02:54] <devilsadvocate> !pastebin |hdz
[02:54] <ubotu> hdz: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:54] <rukuartic> cafuego_: Ah so its one of these things where to save itself it didn't log it?
[02:54] <xixor> shutterbc: There is a sourceforge project, iw3945.sf.net I think, there is also the possibility of using ndiswrapper I think
[02:54] <cafuego_> rukuartic: Not unless it was a fairly mild oops
[02:54] <TTT_Travis> hmmm, copying files to the Ubuntu computer over the network is super slow, but transfering files from the ubuntu computer is fine, what would cause that?
[02:54] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, "Network is unreachable
[02:54] <suzumiya> Failed to bring up eth0"
[02:54] <xixor> shutterbc: non-free drivers?  You mean binary drivers maybe from intel?
[02:55] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, is your ethernet cable plugged in?
[02:55] <Hektik_Ninja> How to install splashscreen?
[02:55] <cafuego_> rukuartic: Normally when debugging, you'd use a null modem cable with a console on it, so the crash log is written to a different box altogether
[02:55] <suzumiya> yeah
[02:55] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, do you know your network config (gateway, dns, netmask) ?
[02:55] <suzumiya> on the router?
[02:56] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, that you are expected to use?
[02:56] <astrobit> whats the line to add in the fstab in order to have a FAT32 extra hard drive mounted everytime the system starts?
[02:56] <rukuartic> cafuego_: Ah so those old serial ports are still of use ;)
[02:56] <cafuego_> rukuartic: oooh yes!
[02:56] <Hektik_Ninja> anyone know how to get splashscreens running?????
[02:56] <suzumiya> i belive so. i should proably make sure everything on the router matches the computer
[02:56] <rukuartic> cafuego_: Are they still putting them on mainstream mobo's or are they dieing out like the floppy?
[02:56] <ReKlipz> ubuntulog
[02:56] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, ubuntu desktop install right? go to system > administration > network setup
[02:56] <tefflon> exit
[02:56] <suzumiya> server install
[02:56] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, you dont need to manually edit the files
[02:56] <cafuego_> rukuartic: they're being phased out on some mobos - which makes kernel devs unhappy.
[02:56] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, ah
[02:57] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, i'll pastebin my file. hang on a sec
[02:57] <Hektik_Ninja> HELP ON SPLASHSCREENS

[02:58] <FiBo1984> @ devilsadvocate
[02:58] <rukuartic> Hektik_Ninja: What happens when you boot your computeR?
[02:58] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, /etc/network/interfaces
[02:59] <Hektik_Ninja> grub opens
[02:59] <ryanakca> what's an app/utility to verify the integrity/status/health of a hard drive?
[02:59] <hdz> devilsadvocate: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/ please help
[02:59] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4196/
[02:59] <xixor> shutterbc: I am not sure, this is a fresh ubuntu console-only install right now
[02:59] <hdz> or im gonna blow my brains out
[02:59] <xtknight> ryanakca: smartmontools
[02:59] <devilsadvocate> hdz, what is the nature of your problem?
[02:59] <devilsadvocate> wifi?
[02:59] <xixor> shutterbc: So, besides installing irssi, I haven't done anything
[02:59] <ryanakca> xtknight: kk, thanks
[02:59] <_Falkon_> How do I get a connection in Azureus?  When I test the port i get an NAT error.
[03:00] <hdz> wifi through pci2.0  usb card to usb linksys
[03:00] <rukuartic> hdz: I'm really busy, but check out ndiswrapper
[03:00] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, interesting, i need to change one or two things now
[03:00] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, you can put in your ip addresses
[03:00] <rukuartic> hdz: I've used it before to work with an internal linksys
[03:00] <devilsadvocate> hdz, ok
[03:00] <Hektik_Ninja> rukuartic: Grub starts
[03:00] <hdz> does detect some things, but is not in network-admin: i get stopped at a certain part in the faq which ive read 10 times
[03:01] <rukuartic> !ndiswrapper | hdz
[03:01] <ubotu> hdz: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:01] <rukuartic> hdz: Let us know if you get stuck, someone'll help you out.
[03:01] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, i believe i did.
[03:01] <xixor> shutterbc: I can install that package though
[03:01] <devilsadvocate> hdz, it isnt even in lspci?
[03:01] <shutterbc> xixor: I think you'll need it.  In the "bug" (not really a bug) they show output of "cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/0000\:0c\:00.0/status"
[03:01] <suzumiya> it's that you have a few things i probably need
[03:01] <hdz> not just lspci, lspci -vv it is
[03:01] <hdz> lshw it is
[03:01] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, leave out the other interfaces - look at my eth1
[03:02] <hdz> wiconfig it is
[03:02] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, and lo you can copy as is
[03:02] <hdz> er, iwconfig? you know what i mean
[03:02] <tim167> which light filebrowser can i install ? Rox and XFCE arent in synaptic afaics
[03:02] <hdz> but i used every command that was in the faq
[03:02] <_Falkon_> How do I get a connection in Azureus if I get an NAT error?
[03:02] <devilsadvocate> hdz, you can see it in iwconfig?
[03:02] <rukuartic> hdz: Look around on the forums... type in the name and model of your router. You're bound to find something.
[03:02] <Hektik_Ninja> anyone help me with splashscreens I really would like to have one
[03:02] <hdz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/ every command you can think of is in there
[03:03] <devilsadvocate> hdz, make?
[03:03] <devilsadvocate> broadcom?
[03:03] <hdz> broadcom is my eth0
[03:03] <hdz> i dont use it
[03:03] <yellow> hehe 2.6.20 is out guys
[03:03] <devilsadvocate> i can see 2 interfaces
[03:03] <xixor> shutterbc: I have a /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945 directory all the files there
[03:03] <hdz> i dont use a router
[03:03] <hdz> i connect to other ppl
[03:03] <xixor> shutterbc: I take that as a good sign :)
[03:03] <devilsadvocate> hdz, broadcom and 3m
[03:03] <Hektik_Ninja> please help, on splashscreens do I just put the jpg in a certain folder?????
[03:03] <yellow> time to upgrade kernels
[03:03] <hdz> 3com is prob broadcom
[03:03] <yellow> ^^!
[03:03] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, taht is what i was doing. i may need to add a eth1 and change eth0 to dchp
[03:04] <teitunge> Any german people who could tell me what Zuchthausknall means? :)
[03:04] <Charron> how can I disable the shift-backspace logout shortcut? this is twice I've hit it on accident >_>
[03:04] <hdz> is shows the linksys in the lspci -bus
[03:04] <hdz> lsbus
[03:04] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, no. i have _two_ ethernet cards, hence the tho eth's
[03:04] <hdz> whatever the command i used everything in the faq on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/
[03:04] <shutterbc> xixor, but check its status -- if you can't get status, then perhaps the ipw3945d isn't running
[03:04] <suzumiya> ah
[03:04] <aeromix> hi all..I'm having problems using my mysql server.. on all connections I get this error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'au'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[03:04] <Hektik_Ninja> y u no answer me
[03:05] <shutterbc> aeromix, um, sounds like you're trying to log in as the user with no password
[03:05] <aeromix> I didn't setup anything regardless mysql
[03:05] <Charron> hektik- maybe because you used 5 question marks.
[03:05] <KeithC> hey guys - im having some trouble with wireless on my new install on a dell 600m
[03:05] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, i have two in, but i believe one is dead. linux is showing it as such at any rate
[03:05] <KeithC> it won't even see the card
[03:05] <hdz> the last command it does try to bring up ath0
[03:05] <aeromix> shutterbc: well, I didn't set up anything yet
[03:05] <hdz> which is odd
[03:05] <_Falkon_> Zuchthausknall means "prisoner's fit of rage" according to a google search I did
[03:05] <KeithC> and the ehternet isnt working right now either
[03:05] <Hektik_Ninja> talk to me about this please?
[03:05] <Jrabbit> Keith
[03:05] <shutterbc> aeromix, did you use the '-p' for password?
[03:05] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, yeah. my eth0 is dead as well,. you need to figure out which is eth0 and which is eth1
[03:05] <xixor> shutterbc: sorry for my cluelessness, but how do you check the status?  I can the status file in the drivers directory, but I get, "Resource temporarily unavailable"
[03:05] <Jrabbit> KeithC: do you have the windows driver?
[03:06] <KeithC> hwo do i tell? i havent been able to get the machine online at all yet
[03:06] <_Falkon_> How do I get a connection in Azureus?  When I test the port i get an NAT error.
[03:06] <Hektik_Ninja> man this place sux
[03:06] <aeromix> shutterbc: what should I type for a password? My login pass?
[03:06] <Jrabbit> KeithC: On a CD
[03:06] <shutterbc> xixor, that totally means it's not loading properly.  OK.  run this: "ps -ef|grep ipw3945d"
[03:06] <hdz>  Hub Port Status:

[03:06] <hdz> how can i enable it if it's not listed
[03:06] <Jrabbit> KeithC: under /DRIVERS
[03:06] <ReK_> how can i get the kernel source without being albe to connect to the web from linux?
[03:06] <aeromix> shutterbc: mysql -p;; any pass; --> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'au'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[03:06] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya,ifconfig returns how many eth ?
[03:06] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, well one doesnt appear at all, so ill take it out
[03:06] <suzumiya> one
[03:06] <KeithC> Jrabbit: nah i dont have the cd with the drivers- this is an ooooollllld computer. and if you eman teh ubuntu cdi m afraid i dont have it one me. i got a usb stick and it reads that - is there place i can download it on this comp and bring it over?
[03:06] <xtknight> ReK_: put it on something you can access like a usb thumb drive
[03:07] <shutterbc> ok, maybe my knowledge of mysql is broken :)
[03:07] <xixor> shutterbc: the ipw3945 driver has 4 processes running
[03:07] <ReK_> where do i get from i mean?
[03:07] <hdz> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 13b1:000e Linksys Remote Wakeup Enabled
[03:07] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, that is it only returns eth0
[03:07] <Jrabbit> KeithC: Yes find the windows (not xp) driver
[03:07] <Ish8> Is there anyone on who can help me now?
[03:07] <hdz> like devilsadvocate you gotta help me look at that url
[03:07] <xtknight> ReK_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/  search for linux-headers  in your distro and arch
[03:07] <shutterbc> xixor, did you install the generic modules and reload the ipw3945 module?
[03:07] <Ish8> It would be greatly appreciated >,<
[03:07] <Jrabbit> KeithC: Then you'll use ndiswrapper
[03:07] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, ok. do you have two ethernet adpaters plugged in?
[03:07] <ReK_> thanks
[03:07] <ReK_> also, how do you mount usb thumbs? lol
[03:08] <devilsadvocate> hdz, did you search in the forums with your model number?
[03:08] <suzumiya> i just shutdown and took one out. im currently rebooting
[03:08] <xtknight> ReK_: they should mount themselves
[03:08] <shutterbc> xixor: hopefully you saw a line like this: root      3199     1  0 19:46 ?        00:00:03 /sbin/ipw3945d-2.6.17-10-generic
[03:08] <Jrabbit> ReK_: it shoudl automatically
[03:08] <hdz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/
[03:08] <hdz> yeah
[03:08] <KeithC> Jrabbit: any version of windows in particular?
[03:08] <ReK_> and if it doesnt?
[03:08] <xtknight> ReK_: ubuntu usually places a launcher on the desktop for them
[03:08] <xtknight> ReK_: if it doesn't come back here ;)
[03:08] <Jrabbit> KeithC: not XP
[03:08] <devilsadvocate> hdz, no luck whatsoever?
[03:08] <ReK_> well, ive tried before and it doesnt
[03:08] <ryanakca> does light, muffled, metallic clinking mean my HD is going to go?
[03:08] <Jrabbit> KeithC: Get the NT or ME one
[03:08] <xixor> shutterbc: nope, all the lines are ipw3945/0 or ipw3945/1
[03:08] <hdz> it shows up on many different commands, not lspci, because its on usb
[03:08] <xtknight> ReK_: well make sure you're having the problem now before we try and reproduce/fix it
[03:08] <KeithC> Jrabbit: alright im getting hte drivers now, one sec. thank you.
[03:08] <Jrabbit> ok
[03:08] <hdz> it shows up everwhere except lspci, lspci -vv it does
[03:08] <devilsadvocate> hdz, i'll need dmesg :P
[03:09] <Jrabbit> I've done this for my wifi so
[03:09] <_Falkon_> How do I get a connection in Azureus?  When I test the port i get an NAT error.
[03:09] <hdz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/ is like my whole dmesg :)
[03:09] <_Falkon_> Seriously, no one's answering
[03:09] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, im back up, only hte working card is in. still unreachable on the net
[03:09] <xixor> shutterbc: i've now installed the restricted modules package
[03:09] <shutterbc> xixor: ok... so you need to make sure the restricted modules package is installed, then reload the module
[03:09] <kitche> _Falkon_: then it's a router problem
[03:09] <hdz> devil i'll give you anything you want i think http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/ is enough but, tell me exactly what to do i'll come back and give you dmesg
[03:09] <xixor> shutterbc: so, to reload the module, use modprobe ipw3945?
[03:09] <_Falkon_> ok any idea how to fix that?
[03:09] <hdz> what i do to cat that out to a file
[03:09] <lgc> Hi! How can I accelerate my laptop's processor using a command?
[03:09] <devilsadvocate> hdz, that does no have your dmesg
[03:09] <shutterbc> _Falkon_, I have better luck with utorrent running under wine, but that's just me
[03:09] <kitche> _Falkon_: open ports on your router
[03:10] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, check ifconfig now
[03:10] <xtknight> lgc:wwhat do you mean by "accelerate the processor"?
[03:10] <_Falkon_> ok, I ran uTorrent fine in windows, so I'll try wine-ing it
[03:10] <hdz> what do i do for dmesg so i can reboot, copy to floppy and come back
[03:10] <_Falkon_> I didn't think to do that
[03:10] <_Falkon_> thanks
[03:10] <_Falkon_> :)
[03:10] <lgc> xtknight, by "accelerate" I mean "make it go faster".
[03:10] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, htere is still only eth0 and lo
[03:10] <devilsadvocate> hdz, hmm. hang on then
[03:10] <xtknight> lgc: you can not make your CPU go faster, other than by overclocking
[03:10] <Luis07> I can't manage to make gtkpod put album covers on my ipod... I select the file, apply the change, sync it... but no luck, no album covers... can someone help me?
[03:11] <KeithC> Jrabbit: I'm at dell's site and they have drivers for XP, ME, and linux
[03:11] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya,  type 'route'
[03:11] <KeithC> or at least i think it has em for linux. do i still get the me?
[03:11] <xtknight> lgc: if you'd like to optimize your system we may be able to reduce the cpu load
[03:11] <hdz> its wierd one command even enabled it maybe i should try it on the main usb bus instead of the redirected ohci pci usb bus
[03:11] <shutterbc> Hektik_Ninja, did you read this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41709
[03:11] <devilsadvocate> how many lines of output?
[03:11] <Jrabbit> KeithC: Get the linux and the ME
[03:11] <hdz> 961
[03:11] <Jrabbit> KeithC: Not shure if the provided linux one will work
[03:11] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, it retured kernel ip routing, a title line, and a info line, so 3
[03:11] <xtknight> lgc: is there anything in particular that seems slow, or would you just like a lower latency system?
[03:11] <suzumiya> but only one with info
[03:11] <shutterbc> xixor: um... actually you have to unload it first
[03:11] <lgc> xtknight, the load should suffice to make it go faster, like when I run a number-crunching program.
[03:12] <devilsadvocate> hdz, i doubt i'll be able to get ou through this. google for "model number ubuntu edgy"
[03:12] <KeithC> Jrabbit:  crap they dont got ME drivers for the wireless
[03:12] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, ok. you have to add a route
[03:12] <hdz> its in the post
[03:12] <hdz> arg
[03:12] <Jrabbit> KeithC: Get the Linux ones then
[03:12] <shutterbc> xixor: syntax is "modprobe -r"
[03:12] <xtknight> lgc: are you talking about a CPU that scales frequency?
[03:12] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, how do i do that
[03:12] <lgc> xtknight, indeed.
[03:12] <KeithC> not htere. they say they have them but then they dont list any drivers for wireless. im checking win 2000 now.
[03:12] <xtknight> lgc: well that is a different matter :)

[03:14] <hdz> there
[03:14] <devilsadvocate> no carets
[03:15] <hdz> i gave ya the info devil
[03:15] <xtknight> lgc: i'm afraid this is all i can do: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+frequency+scaling&btnG=Google+Search
[03:15] <suzumiya> devilsadvocate, lemme try, hold on a minute
[03:15] <devilsadvocate> hdz, dmesg tells you what the kernel did when it found your hardware. but still, your card might have its own issues. google is your friend
[03:15] <shutterbc> xixor: um... hm.  I'm not sure on this one.  (I think I rebooted instead of learning the right way)
[03:16] <xixor> shutterbc: ha, I was thinking the same thing
[03:16] <shutterbc> xixor, I'd play around except I'm kinda using the wireless right now :)
[03:16] <jackbod> i wanted to apply a patch to one of the source packages, I did that, but donno how to build a binary package out of that. any pointers ?
[03:16] <xixor> shutterbc: ok, will give a reboot, will let you know how it goes, thanks for the help, eh!  ha ha, yeah, understand
[03:16] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, also type "route" once to make sure its in properly
[03:16] <hdz> its not the appliance
[03:16] <shutterbc> good luck
[03:17] <hdz> it shows everything it is and i'm using it now in windows
[03:17] <lgc> xtknight, I'm looking at it, thanks!
[03:17] <suzumiya> i tried and it popped up with a list on usage, then i tried doing soley gateway nad it said network is unreachable

[03:19] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, "route add default gw <gateway>" any good?
[03:19] <ben_> do?
[03:20] <kitche> ben_: downloads the key and adds it to apt
[03:20] <xtknight> ben_: it adds a security key to a database.  this security key is used to make sure you're getting a download from only that place.  it's an authorization thing
[03:20] <suzumiya> devilsadvocat, no it just says SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
[03:20] <hdz> i went to the wireless driver page it's listed there
[03:20] <ben_> kk
[03:20] <ben_> thanks so much
[03:20] <hdz> yeah i get the same thing suzumiya
[03:20] <ben_> (first time to linux ^^)
[03:20] <hdz> ifup -a
[03:21] <hdz> i feel like a black sheep
[03:21] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, no clue. I'd search the forums.
[03:21] <suzumiya> thanks anyway
[03:21] <devilsadvocate> suzumiya, everything is configured and should work
[03:21] <suzumiya> ill try a restoring some files and going from there
[03:21] <suzumiya> alright
[03:21] <suzumiya> ill try to talk to my old mentor about it. thanks a lot
[03:22] <shutterbc> Stupid question: how do I find out what version of alsa-source I have?
[03:22] <hdz> devil would NEC corp for usb 1.1 be messed up cuz it's lookin there for usb linksys when usb linksys is on OHCI PCI USB 2.0 CARD
[03:22] <hdz> like i know this is not hard to figure out, besides me
[03:23] <xtknight> hdz: could you repeat your original problem ?
[03:23] <hdz> driver=ohci_hcd it still relays it to that bus anyway
[03:23] <tanubis> anyone familiar with setting up vsftpd?  I've got it running and listening for anonymous connections, just trying to find out how to tell it I want to have it start serving files from a given directory to anonymous users.
[03:23] <hdz> im tryin to get my linksys usb wireless workin through my pci2.0 card
[03:24] <hdz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/
[03:24] <tanubis> right now it lets you connect but it's to an empty directory somewhere
[03:24] <hdz> ive done every command possible its all listed there
[03:24] <hdz> i just need to know what step i need to take next
[03:24] <ben_> can sumone repost that page?
[03:24] <ben_> woops wrong chat
[03:24] <ben_> srry
[03:24] <FireHazard17> its ok
[03:24] <xixor> shutterbc: So, I think its working now.. ps -ef | grep ipw shows the driver listed, I can view the status file in /sys/bus, and now there is an eth1 showing in iwconfig (eth0 is my ehternet card)
[03:24] <xtknight> hdz: does eth1 exist?
[03:25] <FireHazard17> yes
[03:25] <FireHazard17> nvm
[03:25] <hdz> that's the last command i did, i never saw eth1 til i sudo'd that command
[03:25] <mikeo1> anyone know why tvtime gives me no signal?
[03:25] <xtknight> hdz: or is the kernel module getting loaded for your card?
[03:25] <mikeo1> it worked the other day
[03:25] <xixor> shutterbc: the next thing is to figure out how to use wep :)
[03:25] <mikeo1> and i know it has a signal
[03:25] <shutterbc> xixor, iwconfig shows a wireless card?  whee!
[03:25] <hdz> ath0 never showed up until ifup -a either
[03:25] <mikeo1> v4l-conf gives errors
[03:25] <mikeo1> X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode
[03:25] <shutterbc> xixor, I'm trying to mess with wep next as well.  apparently the real cool stuff is going into feisty (connection manager)
[03:26] <xtknight> hdz: looks to me like no driver is loaded (see under configuration=)  for Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster
[03:26] <xixor> shutterbc: I think so, and when I did an iwconfig eth1 essid "accessname", my wifi light started blinking
[03:26] <hdz> it doesn't show in network admin to begin with
[03:26] <hdz> but in every command it's there on the ohci bus
[03:26] <xixor> shutterbc: I don't have a desktop environment installed yet, kubuntu-desktop has an estimated 2 hours left to download
[03:26] <xtknight> hdz: the device is being detected.  but a kernel module has not been loaded for it
[03:26] <hdz> xtknight look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/ for a few seconds you'd know what to do next
[03:27] <hdz> so what do i do
[03:27] <xixor> shutterbc: I have always had trouble getting wep to work under linux though, I've never had any luck I think, so I always run an open access point
[03:27] <hdz> this thing is being like hardware routed
[03:27] <xtknight> hdz: yeah ive been looking at it.  have you tried modprobe and the driver you need for that adapter?
[03:27] <hdz> i dunno if i should put it to regular 1.1 usb so it doesn't have to go through all this
 joking
[03:27] <shutterbc> I need to set up a test wep network somewhere so I can start hacking around on it
[03:27] <xtknight> it shouldnt really mater
[03:27] <hdz> the driver is cisco
[03:28] <xtknight> hdz: so 'sudo modprobe cisco'  what happens?
[03:28] <hdz> the bus is controlled by ohci_usc
[03:28] <hdz> never tried that but i have output of it knowing that it's linksys with vendor cisco
[03:28] <hdz> should i reboot and try modprobe?
[03:28] <xtknight> hdz: hold your horses :P
[03:28] <xtknight> i just need the name of the kernel module name for your card
[03:29] <kitche> hdz: well cisco is linksys ssame company
[03:29] <hdz> for the pci card 2.0?
[03:29] <mikeo1> hmmm Load "v4l" wasn't in the module section
[03:30] <arrenlex> If I have an aunt, and I have a child, what would that child be to my aunt?
[03:30] <hdz> this breaks down from a tree from usb1.1 to the card to linksys and its crazy
[03:30] <ben_> what is ubuntu
[03:30] <ben_> edgy
[03:30] <ben_> or dapper
[03:30] <ben_> ?

[03:30] <xtknight> dapper is one version and edgy is a newer one
[03:30] <Simpleton> I can't wait to reinstall
[03:31] <ben_> i just got this one
[03:31] <ben_> lol
[03:31] <ben_> yesterday
[03:31] <hdz> you want the pci 2.0 card, or the linksys module name
[03:31] <ben_> so prolly edgy?
[03:31] <xtknight> hdz: linksys
[03:31] <Simpleton> your on it right now?
[03:31] <hdz> or, okay holdon
[03:31] <ben_> yes
[03:31] <Simpleton> then check what version it is
[03:31] <ben_> how?
[03:31] <Simpleton> uname -r
[03:31] <xtknight> ben_:  lsb_release -a
[03:31] <ben_> in terminal?
[03:31] <xtknight> yes
[03:31] <Simpleton> do what he said
[03:32] <ben_> edgy =)
[03:32] <Simpleton> I have been linux deprived for almost 4 months due to a failed harddrive and lack of time and cash, but i shall soon be back
[03:32] <hdz> xtknight what command would that show up on
[03:32] <hdz> i dont wanna give you the wrong info
[03:32] <xtknight> hdz: i need the output of `sudo lspci -vv` on pastebin (your original cmd did not include the sudo)
[03:32] <hdz> okay its on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4195/
[03:33] <xtknight> SUDO lspci -vv
[03:33] <xixor> shutterbc: you were mentioning a connection manager, called, feisty?  this is a gnome or kde application?  Or ubuntu specific?
[03:33] <xtknight> hdz:  the lspci -vv on there is incomplete because it was executed without sudo
[03:34] <daviey> Hi, anybody here using a non-usb bluetooth adapter????
[03:34] <mneptok> xixor: Feisty is the code name of the next release.
[03:34] <xixor> ahh, ok
[03:34] <hdz> see you're smart i said that to devilsadvocate
[03:34] <hdz> i gotta go back and do that?
[03:34] <xtknight> ??
[03:35] <hdz> the sudo
[03:35] <mneptok> xixor: are you looking for wireless network scanning?
[03:35] <xtknight> sudo lspci -vv
[03:35] <hdz> sudo lspci -vv
[03:35] <lgc> xtknight, It did the trick!
[03:35] <xtknight> yeah i need the output
[03:35] <hdz> can i su root
[03:35] <hdz> so everything is complete
[03:35] <bruenig> hdz, no
[03:35] <bruenig> !sudo | hdz
[03:35] <ubotu> hdz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:35] <xtknight> just type `sudo -i` to get permanent root for a while
[03:35] <mneptok> hdz: you can, but it's not recommended
[03:35] <hdz> i'll just sudo everything then
[03:35] <hdz> alright
[03:35] <xtknight> yeah, just sudo everythiing its really the best
[03:35] <hdz> xtknight i'll be back in 5 min
[03:36] <xixor> mneptok: Not yet, just trying to get wep working for my wifi card right now.. tried iwconfig eth1 essid "name" key #####, but that didn't seem to work
[03:36] <moyofalaye> msg nickserv register <windows>
[03:36] <hdz> no i was being sarcastic :)
[03:36] <lgc> xtknight, do you happen to know how to rev up the fan? It's starting to smell funny here...:)
[03:36] <xtknight> then when you create/move files it wont randomly be owned by root
[03:36] <shutterbc> xixor, now I'm having trouble finding the post :)
[03:36] <xtknight> lgc: i dont know.  i also have a controllable fan and ive been trying for ages to figure out how
[03:36] <bruenig> moyofalaye, better pick a different one
[03:36] <xixor> shutterbc: Post?
[03:36] <mneptok> xixor: WEP connections con be cofigured via the GNOME networking GUI
[03:36] <TTT_Travis> whats the keyboard command to switch to the terminal screen when in X?
[03:36] <hdz> xtknight you think you'll be here a bit longer so i can post that, and anything else i should do a command on?
[03:36] <TTT_Travis> while logging into X it froze and now it's stuck

[03:37] <bruenig> TTT_Travis, alt + f 1-6

[03:37] <TTT_Travis> k
[03:37] <TTT_Travis> is there a way to use the old non-gui installer
[03:37] <TTT_Travis> instead of gui installer?
[03:37] <bruenig> !alternate
[03:37] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[03:37] <xtknight> !alternate | TTT_Travis
[03:37] <ubotu> TTT_Travis: please see above
[03:38] <xtknight> ooh
[03:38] <xtknight> ubotu is sophisticated
[03:38] <bruenig> oh cool ubotu has a new trick
[03:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is sophisticated - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:38] <xtknight> hehe
[03:38] <TTT_Travis> oh, need seperate cd
[03:38] <TTT_Travis> ;(
[03:38] <xtknight> lol
[03:38] <mneptok> shutterbc: it's not in progress. sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome
[03:39] <xixor> shutterbc: that sounds good, I haven't seen a good linux application that did that yet
[03:39] <shutterbc> mneptok, I already have that installed... I was thinking about something else (I think).  Or am I mistaken and network-manager has WPA options?
[03:39] <mneptok> n-m-g does WPA
[03:39] <xixor> shutterbc: I always just end up having a variety of scripts to launch different iwconfig arguments to start the wireless depending on where I am
[03:41] <xixor> so, is ubuntu similar to debian, where a lot of people run "unstable" ?
[03:41] <xixor> this would be fiesty I take it
[03:41] <moyofalaye> Good day people
[03:41] <xtknight> xixor: edgy is unstable in debian terms
[03:42] <TTT_Travis> when is edgy  coming out?
[03:42] <ewood> How do I get my refresh rate above 60 Hz? I knew how to fix it in Fedora, but not in Ubuntu..
[03:42] <mneptok> only developers and other fools run Feisty
[03:42] <shutterbc> xixor: in short, yes
[03:42] <xixor> xtknight: Oh really? I thought edgy was the latest "stable"?
[03:42] <xtknight> feisty is more like experimental
[03:42] <maddog39> TTT_Travis: Edgy has been out for ages...
[03:42] <xtknight> cat /etc/debian_version  on Edgy returns testing/unstable
[03:42] <astrobit> does anybody know how could i change the refresh rate for my screen resolution? its set to 80 Hz and it should be 60 Hz... but theres no way to graphically change it...any ideas?
[03:42] <TTT_Travis> WHAT^
[03:42] <maddog39> yes,
[03:42] <maddog39> you mean feisty?
[03:42] <TTT_Travis> so dapper isn't the most stable?
[03:42] <xtknight> dapper is stable
[03:42] <riotkittie> TTT_Travis: do you mean feisty?
[03:42] <moyofalaye> Please i cant get my settings to save in any application
[03:42] <xtknight> edgy is unstable
[03:42] <maddog39> thats the upcoming release
[03:42] <xixor> 6.10 = edgy correct?
[03:42] <shutterbc> Ages being since October... yeah
[03:42] <xtknight> feisty is experimental
[03:42] <maddog39> yes
[03:42] <maddog39> 6.10 = edgy
[03:42] <xixor> ah, ok
[03:42] <TTT_Travis> Dapper is the latest stable correct?
[03:43] <xtknight> TTT_Travis: correct
[03:43] <maddog39> nope
[03:43] <daviey> I need to install windows XP on an exsisting Linux HD; obv, i will need a partition.  How will i stop xp messing up my Linux system??
[03:43] <TTT_Travis> k
[03:43] <maddog39> thats the old stable
[03:43] <xtknight> in strict terms
[03:43] <xtknight> yes.
[03:43] <TTT_Travis> whats coming out next to replace Dapper and when?
[03:43] <xtknight> it's the only one with long term support also
[03:43] <shutterbc> Well supposedly Dapper is "more stable" as it's the Long Term Support version
[03:43] <xixor> sorry, I thought 6.10 was the last stable major release, so 6.10 is the next release candidate for the new stable release every 6 months?
[03:43] <xtknight> only one out of dapper and edgy at least
[03:43] <danielc> can anyone help me on booting ubuntu, just to test it?
[03:43] <danielc> not actually installing any files
[03:43] <xtknight> well 6.10 is stable in ubuntu terms, not in more broad debian terms
[03:43] <maddog39> 6.06 is the older stable version, 6.10 is the current, and 7.04 (feisty) is testing/upcoming
[03:43] <daviey> danielc, download the cd, burn and reboot
[03:44] <xtknight> and you said debian equiv...so
[03:44] <danielc> when i reboot...do i choose "start or install ubuntu"'?
[03:44] <mneptok> there is no "stable." there is "released," "development," and "long term support." right now those are Edgy, Feisty, and Dapper, respectively.
[03:44] <xixor> yes yes, I think in terms of debian :)
[03:44] <ewood> danielc: The latest Ubuntu release is a live/install CD, so that shouldn't be difficult.
[03:44] <xtknight> sarge is like that old guy that just never tripped and fell.  dapper is analogous to that ;)
[03:44] <danielc> i just choose "start or install ubuntu" and it loads, then i can restart and take the cd out and have it be normal XP again?
[03:44] <daviey> danielc, install (providing it's the desktop edition)
[03:44] <riotkittie> daviey: manually create a partition for XP. you'll be fine, but will need to reinstall GRUB
[03:44] <ewood> danielc: I believe live is the default option for it..
[03:44] <xixor> so, ubuntu uses a 6 month release cycle right?
[03:45] <xtknight> uh
[03:45] <ReK_> ok, so the linux-headers-(uname -r) arent enough, i need the full kernel source, where can i get that from?
[03:45] <xtknight> i dont know
[03:45] <xtknight> ReK_: that is the linux source code
[03:45] <daviey> riotkittie, how do i reinstall grub (remembering what boot options i currently have)?
[03:45] <shutterbc> danielc, just make sure your BIOS actually knows to boot off CD.  Otherwise yes.
[03:45] <vox754> Why are people still wondering if 6.10 is stable? It must be stable in order to be released.
[03:45] <danielc> ok, thank you
[03:45] <ReK_> well the makefile still tells me that sdtio.h doesnt exist -.-
[03:45] <danielc> i will go try it out now
[03:45] <riotkittie> !grub | daviey
[03:45] <mneptok> daviey: correct. The "start or install" option runs the live session. you can choose to install from there or not. and when you reboot it's back to your default OS>
[03:45] <ubotu> daviey: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:46] <xtknight> ReK_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:46] <shutterbc> "stable" is a relative term.
[03:46] <xixor> vox754: I was wondering because I am new to the ubuntu world..
[03:46] <ReK_> thanks
[03:46] <ewood> 6.10 is stable for me, though it's not properly handling headphone detection on my Power Mac.
[03:46] <daviey> vox754, feisty herd 3 is released; is that stable????
[03:46] <xtknight> vox754: because definitions vary
[03:46] <ewood> If I plug speakers in, I get sound from the internal speaker. Without speakers, nothing.
[03:46] <daviey> mneptok, i know; i told the guy
[03:46] <shutterbc> 6.10 is stable for me except a December update blew out my alsa!
[03:46] <xtknight> 6.06 actually detects HW better than 6.10 for me.
[03:46] <mneptok> daviey: nothing with Feisty it the name is in the least bit stable.
[03:46] <GMachine_24> How do I find all the ".Trash" folders on my computer. Is the one in the /home/xxxx   (where xxxx is the name of my directory) the only one on the computer?
[03:46] <moyofalaye> Please i need quick help How do i get my apps to be able to save there configs
[03:46] <shutterbc> so now I'm stuck with no sound at boot until I switch everything over to OSS.  (not fun)
[03:46] <xtknight> GMachine_24: locate .trash
[03:47] <daviey> mneptok, but on April the 19th it will be stable
[03:47] <ReK_> xtknight: where would that be in packages.ubuntu.com?
[03:47] <vox754> daviey: Are you kidding? It's obviously being tested.
[03:47] <xtknight> GMachine_24: yes there's only a .trash in home dirs like root or /home/xxx
[03:47] <vox754> xtknight: Are you kidding? It's obviously being tested.
[03:47] <daviey> vox754, but the ISO is released!!!!
[03:47] <mneptok> daviey: if all goes well, yes.
[03:47] <xtknight> ReK_: i thikn stdio is in libc6-dev maybe
[03:47] <xtknight> ReK_: search for 'stdio.h' in ubuntu packages
[03:47] <shutterbc> ewood, what audio chipset are you using?
[03:47] <ReK_> ah, its the libs i need, thanks
[03:47] <daviey> mneptok, so wtf are you talking about the name sounding unstable for?
[03:47] <mneptok> GMachine_24: open your home dir in Nautilus and hit ctl-h
[03:47] <rio> server
[03:47] <ewood> shutterbc: I'll check it
[03:47] <encrypt> hello, can anyone recommend any good vnc software?
[03:48] <xtknight> vox754: what is being tested?
[03:48] <ewood> shutterbc: PowerMac Tumbler
[03:48] <daviey> encrypt, internally or over the net?
[03:48] <ivx> hey, how can i change that little loading graphic that pops up after i type my username and passowrd? i woudl like to make is match my theme
[03:48] <encrypt> over the net
[03:48] <mneptok> daviey: i said "nothing with Feisty in the name is stable." and that's true. Feisty is not stable.
[03:48] <encrypt> daviey, want to show a friend my beryl setup
[03:48] <GMachine_24> xtknight: thank you. I accidentally removed the link/icon for the trash folder from the toolbar on my desktop. can I add it back?
[03:48] <daviey> encrypt, share a desktop or a fresh one?
[03:48] <encrypt> daviey, he's on windows
[03:48] <shutterbc> ewood, do you know if the alsa guys have any bugs logged on it?
[03:48] <xixor> encrypt: I have been using FreeNX to remotely administer my home linux server, its like vnc, but is compressed for use over the net
[03:48] <encrypt> daviey, either works
[03:48] <ewood> shutterbc: I do not.
[03:48] <daviey> encrypt, beryl won't work well over the net
[03:48] <xtknight> GMachine_24: umm perhaps.
[03:49] <vox754> xtknight: The next Ubuntu 7.04.
[03:49] <encrypt> daviey, oh
[03:49] <xtknight> GMachine_24: just add it to the panel
[03:49] <shutterbc> ewood, Edgy uses alsa 1.0.12 so there might be updates in 1.0.13
[03:49] <ivx> is this working? can you gusy see my text?
[03:49] <xtknight> vox754: yes..it is being tested
[03:49] <Curtman> I put Ubuntu on my dad's PC..  Every couple of days he phones me to tell me that all he see's when he boots up is a black screen.  When I log in it looks like Ubuntu is starting X without gdm, and preventing gdm from loading.  I kill X, and start gdm and it works fine.
[03:49] <shutterbc> which I'd install if I knew more of the implications of compiling it in Ubuntu.
[03:49] <daviey> mneptok, what do you mean "nothing with Feisty in the name is stable"; doesn't make sense!!
[03:49] <Curtman> Anyone know what that problem is caused by?
[03:49] <mneptok> GMachine_24: run gconf-editor, edit the apps/Nautilus settings to put the trash on the dektop, copy from desktop to panel
[03:49] <GMachine_24> mneptok: thank you as well
[03:49] <ewood> shutterbc: Do automatic updates take care of that?
[03:49] <encrypt> daviey, well, it's okay.. i just wanted to smack beryl in my friend's face (he has been bragging about how well aero runs on his computer)
[03:49] <ivx> hey, how can i change that little loading graphic that pops up after i type my username and passowrd? i woudl like to make is match my theme
[03:49] <whileiwasgone> What is the point of the helix player? I cant get anything to play with it including .rm files but VLC does almore everything.
[03:50] <shutterbc> ewood, probably not
[03:50] <daviey> encrypt, if you want to show of beryl there are some good youtube videos
[03:50] <xtknight> if hdz comes in here tell him i'm rebooting
[03:50] <encrypt> daviey, yes i just wanted him to fool around with it
[03:50] <ewood> shutterbc: Do you know whether Fedora Core 6 uses the newer Alsa?
[03:50] <encrypt> daviey, get a feel for what it is
[03:50] <shutterbc> ewood: no clue.  Though probably.
[03:50] <moyofalaye> PLease i cant get my apps to save there configs
[03:51] <bruenig> moyofalaye, what apps
[03:51] <ewood> shutterbc: I'll be digging through the alsa bug site and see what turns up.
[03:51] <AMAG> Hello again, #ubuntu.  I've been having install difficulties for a couple of days and I would like some help with GRUB, which I've never used before.
[03:51] <mneptok> daviey: i mean exactly that. if you have an ISO called foisty-herd3-i386.iso it *is not stable* because nothing taht has "feisty" in its name is stable right now
[03:51] <bruenig> !grub
[03:51] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:51] <daviey> mneptok, still doesn't make sense.  Is ENG your first language?
[03:51] <AMAG> Indeed, I've read the info pages but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly.  I'll summarize my situation
[03:51] <xtknight> daviey: why doesn't it make sense?
[03:51] <encrypt> oh well, thanks all
[03:51] <ivx> Amag what is your problem
[03:51] <MrSatanic> What are some fun things I can do with Ubuntu?
[03:51] <shutterbc> daviey, I think he just means that for dev / release purposes it isn't considered "stable"... even if some packages are unchanged.
[03:51] <xtknight> daviey: if "feisty" is in the file name and you download is before the official release of feisty, it is NOT stable
[03:51] <moyofalaye> Thank you apps like Nvidia settings, spbackup
[03:52] <moyofalaye> even Azureus
[03:52] <xtknight> MrSatanic: penguin racer
[03:52] <daviey> xtknight, that makes sense
[03:52] <mneptok> daviey: i don't speak ENG. but English, yes. been a native speaker for the past 42 years.
[03:52] <moyofalaye> Even azureus wont update cause it cant write to the update folder
[03:52] <MrSatanic> Penguin racer?
[03:52] <daviey> mneptok, so you do speak ENG, pratt
[03:52] <ewood> Man, staring at 60 Hz really hurts my eyes...
[03:52] <ivx> are there any free games that are good, like 3rd person shooters or anything
[03:52] <AMAG> I have a 3ware 9650SX RAID adapter which isn't supported by the kernel in the ubuntu 6.10 install discs, so I've made a CD with a working driver, loaded it, and installed the base system, kernel source tree, gcc while still being booted from the install disc
[03:53] <xtknight> ewood: get an lcd :)
[03:53] <mneptok> daviey: name calling is really unnecessary.,
[03:53] <AMAG> The partitioning tool, and grub, will not work from the ubuntu installer menu; perhaps because the array is > 2TB; I'm not sure
[03:53] <Curtman> I put Ubuntu on my dad's PC..  Every couple of days he phones me to tell me that all he see's when he boots up is a black screen.  When I log in it looks like Ubuntu is starting X without gdm, and preventing gdm from loading.  I kill X, and start gdm and it works fine.  Anyone know why?
[03:53] <mneptok> daviey: (and it's spelled "prat" in ENG, if you care)
[03:53] <daviey> mneptok, and so is missing the correlation between ENG and english!
[03:54] <daviey> mneptok, take it to private chat if you really want to carry it on.  This aint the place for it
[03:54] <shutterbc> Guys -- can you please take your argument out of the channel?
[03:54] <AMAG> So I've built a kernel with the correct 3ware driver compiled in, which is now located in /boot, which is a 400MB ext3 filesystem which linux sees as /dev/sda1; my root filesystem is at /dev/sda2
[03:54] <ivx> amag, i may be wrong, but if you have a huge drive like that i think you need a different kernel version for the extra hard disk support, ask some who may know though
[03:54] <mneptok> Curtman: what happens if you remove "splash" from the kernel boot options?
[03:54] <AMAG> Now I've run grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda
[03:55] <shutterbc> hmm... maybe if AMAG gives me his array, I'll try to work on it :)
[03:55] <AMAG> Does this simply detect the available images and configure an appropriate menu?
[03:55] <Curtman> mneptok: I'll give it a try, and see if the calls stop.  ;)
[03:55] <ewood> xtknight: What I need is to be able to set my refresh rate higher, which I can manage in Fedora, but not in Ubuntu. How do I fix that?
[03:55] <kitche> !fixres|ewood
[03:55] <ubotu> ewood: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:55] <xtknight> ewood: ^^
[03:56] <AMAG> I'm not entirely certain the BIOS will map the 3ware array to hd0 so I'm a bit concerned that, upon boot, the images won't be where GRUB expects them to be.  Will I be able to recover from this from within GRUB?
[03:56] <mneptok> Curtman: my father's old Dell laptop didn't like Edgy's splash at *any* vga= setting, so it just booted in text mode
[03:56] <GMachine_24> mneptok: I ran the nautilus setup as you suggested, checked the box for a trash icon to appear on the desktop and closed the editor... but no trash icon appears. I reopened the nautilus configurator and the trash icon on desktop is still checked - what did I do wrong? Must I restart the desktop (or something?)
[03:57] <moyofalaye> @ewood http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Screen_refresh_rate_t33565.html
[03:57] <AMAG> Or is it possible the additional binaries grub needs to understand ext2 filesystems also won't be accessible to it?
[03:57] <Curtman> mneptok: Isn't Ubuntu's splash support done on the framebuffer?  It's actually X that is getting in the way of gdm.
[03:58] <usr13> Trying to set up nfs  Not sure what to do on the server system, (this one) - it keeps saying "Connection refused".
[03:58] <mneptok> GMachine_24: it should show up immediately. but perhaps gconf wants a little stop/start ... *shrug*
[03:58] <usr13> I have created directory, but well, what next?
[03:58] <BlueEagle> !downgrade
[03:58] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[03:58] <GMachine_24> mneptok: yes i agree it should happen but i will log out and back in to see. thanks again.
[03:58] <BlueEagle> How about downgrading a spesific package?
[03:58] <ewood> Well, seems I'd have to restart my X server for it to work. I don't want my download interrupted.
[03:58] <lordkeiden> hi. breakage boy here.
[03:58] <mneptok> Curtman: the splash on the Dell left the buffer in a weird state that made X go sideways.
[03:58] <moyofalaye> PLease PLease pLEase For some reason i cant get my apps to save there configs, Example azurueus wont update, cause it cant write to a certain folder
[03:58] <daviey> !nfs | usr13
[03:58] <ubotu> usr13: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[03:59] <ewood> Now at 80% of the 'Zod' PPC DVD.
[03:59] <coolball> hi
[03:59] <moyofalaye> ewood i sent you a link that can help you out. it helped me
[03:59] <moyofalaye> look up
[04:00] <coolball> to get a res option greater than 1024x768 what must i do?... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[04:00] <lordkeiden> I installed network manager and i lost my wlan connection. network monitor didnt even show a wlan0 anymore. i removed network manager and rebooted and here i am.
[04:00] <Flannel> !fixres | coolball
[04:00] <ubotu> coolball: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:00] <lordkeiden> it network manager still flakey in feisty?
[04:00] <lordkeiden> is, not it...oops
[04:00] <Flannel> lordkeiden: #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[04:00] <Shadowpillar> anyone know of any 64-bit beryl repositories?
[04:01] <Flannel> Shadowpillar: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support
[04:01] <lordkeiden> sweet. thanks
[04:01] <ewood> moyofalaye: I did use the link, and thank you. From reading it, though, I'd have to edit a config file and then restart the X server, which presumably ends my Firefox download.
[04:01] <moyofalaye> Please no one has responded to my pleas i cant get my Apps to save there configs
[04:01] <mneptok> moyofalaye: the problem you are having is only with Azureus, yes?
[04:02] <moyofalaye> not only with Azurueus but with the app called "simple backup "
[04:02] <ewood> What are beryl repositories?
[04:03] <mneptok> moyofalaye: did you install these from the repositories?
[04:03] <Flannel> ewood: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[04:03] <moyofalaye> yes
[04:03] <moyofalaye> thank you for your response
[04:03] <mneptok> moyofalaye: then that is how they should be updated
[04:03] <tuna-fish-> how can one install something build with make so that it can be removed trough apt?
[04:03] <ewood> I have a 64-bit system, so I'd be interested in knowing what it is. A source of packages just for Ubuntu?
[04:03] <Flannel> !checkinstall | tuna-fish-
[04:03] <ubotu> tuna-fish-: 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!
[04:03] <moyofalaye> but like if i change some settings they wont save
[04:03] <daviey> ewood, are you using xgl?  If so don't install the latest beryl; it's borked.  Use synamptic to install the previous version
[04:03] <dbglt> my X server crashes whenever I adjust my laptop screen's brightness up or down. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[04:04] <mneptok> moyofalaye: if Azureus tells you there is an update, ignore it. rely on the update manager.
[04:04] <tuna-fish-> thanks
[04:04] <Flannel> ewood: oh.  Beryl is one of those fancy spinny desktop doohickeys
[04:04] <moyofalaye> Thanks
[04:04] <ewood> Actually, that reminds me. I can't get the last three releases of Ubuntu to boot or install on my AMD system.
[04:04] <moyofalaye> ok what about Nvidia settings manager, when i save settings it just wont write to xorg.conf i would have to do it manually
[04:05] <nopcode> yo
[04:05] <dbglt> moyofalaye: running it as super user?
[04:05] <nopcode> i've just installed xubuntu ; why cant i find emacs in that package manager?
[04:05] <ewood> Flannel: Must be like the screen effects in Fedora Core 6, then. Using that on the 64-bit system led to crashes, but then that system always crashes when I try to use my 3D card.
[04:05] <vox754> So anybody needs help with Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder, card=4 -> ATI TV Wonder Pro?
[04:05] <ewood> I have all the most rotten luck with Linux and with PCs.
[04:05] <moyofalaye> how do i do that and please how do i get the apps to lauch as super users from the start bar
[04:06] <MrSatanic> Does anyone know what Novell's Slab menu is?
[04:06] <daviey> moyofalaye, make a launcher and put gksudo appname
[04:06] <Flannel> ewood: no, I believe the FC screen effects are different.
[04:06] <moyofalaye> thank you very very very much.
[04:06] <shutterbc> I have horrible luck as well, then burn many hours of time troubleshooting to compensate.
[04:06] <nopcode> how do i access all the packages on the xubuntu-cd?
[04:06] <ewood> Flannel: Are we talking about something similar, though? The X GUI using the 3D GPU?
[04:07] <usr13> daviey:  What I'm wanting to do is make a backup image of a [small]  laptop HD here (on a nfs share), and then, install the new [bigger]  HD in the laptop, and copy the image into /dev/hda2 of the new drive, and then spit it onto hda1  e.g. "gzip -d < image.gz | dd of=/dev/hda1"  (or something like that)...
[04:07] <Flannel> ewood: You can get a much better description from #ubuntu-effects, with screenshots and videos and stuff.
[04:07] <Flannel> nopcode: which CD? Desktop or Alternate?
[04:07] <illriginal> How come my screen saver pauses/jumps?
[04:07] <nopcode> Flannel: i guess desktop
[04:08] <usr13> Using a live CD to do it all.... I guess....
[04:08] <daviey> usr13, can you physically get to the 'server'?
[04:08] <Flannel> nopcode: the liveCD?  There aren't many packages on that.  but, apt-cdrom will allow you to add the CDrom to your sources, for the few packages available there.
[04:08] <usr13> Anywai.. need to set up nfs, first, I guess.
[04:08] <usr13> Yes.
[04:08] <nopcode> Flannel: wtf?
[04:08] <usr13> This machine is to be the server, and the laptop is sitting next to me, [open to suggestions] .
[04:08] <nopcode> it was almost a full cd
[04:09] <nopcode> half a gig or somthing
[04:09] <lordkeiden> anyone got gmailfs to work?
[04:09] <nopcode> there must be the majority of packages on it
[04:09] <Flannel> nopcode: right.  the DesktopCD is an image, not a repository, like the alternate CD
[04:09] <nopcode> why didnt it tell that it's just a live cd?
[04:09] <nopcode> i downloaded a "release"
[04:09] <nopcode> that's not a live cd for me
[04:09] <Flannel> nopcode: nope.  Only a dozen packages or so, build-essential, ndiswrapper, some essential stuff.
[04:09] <nopcode> damn
[04:09] <Flannel> nopcode: its a liveCD you can install from.
[04:09] <nopcode> why dont they properly tell so on the page?
[04:10] <Flannel> nopcode: they do.
[04:10] <nopcode> i don't have easy internet connectivity on the machine
[04:10] <nopcode> http://www.xubuntu.org/get
[04:10] <nopcode> where on that page?
[04:10] <felixcanis11> so i'm having problems....ubuntu keeps freezing on me. my RAM is 375 (sucks, i know) and i have a 1098 swap. i just swapped to ubuntu from gentoo...it wiped my hard drive and repartitioned it in the process. anyone have any idea how i can get it to stop freezing like this?
[04:10] <usr13> It is an older laptop with 6Gig. HD.  I have a new 40Gig. dirive for it.
[04:10] <txoof> where is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d created?
[04:10] <hdz> knight?
[04:11] <felixcanis11> any help would be totally awesome, cause i'm a student and i have papers to write but i can't if it keeps freezing like this
[04:11] <usr13> Need to put Win2k on a small partiton, (leaving a big one for fresh new install of Ubuntu on the larger half).
[04:11] <nopcode> Flannel: it's 520 mb. how do they make an iso that large with only essential packages?
[04:11] <Flannel> nopcode: once you click on a mirror, when you go to select an image, there's descriptions for all of them.
[04:11] <hdz> awh man did he leave
[04:12] <Flannel> nopcode: it's an entire linux image.  It installs by copying that image to your HD.
[04:12] <nopcode> so it's not even a proper installation, just knoppix-style bullshit?
[04:12] <hdz> xknight left?
[04:12] <Flannel> nopcode: no, it IS a proper installation.
[04:12] <nathanael> Cannot access ubuntu.compiz.net as repository - does anyone know if this is down or gone?
[04:12] <vox754> So anybody needs help with Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder, card=4 -> ATI TV Wonder Pro?
[04:12] <hdz> its more then proper
[04:13] <Flannel> nopcode: you can install from either CD, although they do it differently.  And please, watch your language.
[04:13] <nopcode> Flannel: i'm just angry, downloading 500 mb for nothing
[04:13] <hdz> where did knight go
[04:13] <Flannel> nopcode: what do you mean for nothing?  You're tryign to install, right?
[04:13] <nopcode> base system would be what like 30-40 mb, how do you blow that up to 500?
[04:13] <Shadowpillar> vox754: isnt that the ivtv driver?
[04:14] <Flannel> nopcode: No.  Base system is ~500Mb
[04:14] <nopcode> Flannel: yeah, i was hoping to get an iso with all packages
[04:14] <knovak> ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package right? i'm on Dapper, and I want to remove the default games, but when I try it says it needs to take out ubuntu-desktop.
[04:14] <nopcode> Flannel: nah that cant be
[04:14] <Music_Shuffle> You add basic packages.
[04:14] <nopcode> 500 mb might be a full installation or sth
[04:14] <Flannel> nopcode: it is.  A full xubuntu install takes 1.5GB of space or so
[04:14] <vox754> Shadowpillar: Not sure. I just helped someone to make it work.
[04:14] <Flannel> nopcode: correct, it's a full xubuntu installation.
[04:14] <nopcode> Flannel: uhm
[04:14] <nopcode> that sounds like windows
[04:14] <lordkeiden> Flannel: isn't the base system include open office, evolution, and stuff?
[04:15] <Flannel> lordkeiden: well, xubuntu uses different programs, but yes, it includes a full desktop.
[04:15] <nopcode> well ok so i'll have to find a way to hook that laptop up to the net
[04:15] <nopcode> i suppose nothing will happen when i insert that usb wlan dongle i got here?
[04:15] <BlueEagle> ps aux
[04:15] <Flannel> nopcode: you can boot from it, yes.
[04:15] <burma7> internet is down
[04:15] <burma7> anyone feeling it?
[04:15] <burma7> oh sorry. its in malaysia only
[04:15] <BlueEagle> wrong window :)
[04:16] <Flannel> nopcode: I'm still not sure what you're looking for (and therefore why the desktop CD isn't right for you)
[04:16] <nopcode> Flannel: weird things like "emacs"
[04:16] <Flannel> or at least why it won't work for you.
[04:16] <nopcode> why isnt that fscking included?
[04:16] <stormy|> how do I add a program switch to the program's normal startup  command? (the one that runs when you start up the computer)
[04:16] <nopcode> it should be in any minimalistic iso image
[04:16] <beterraba> hello, how do i do to change my desktop image? it looks like it was locked, but i dont know how it happened!
[04:16] <Flannel> nopcode: emacs isn't on the alternate CD either
[04:16] <Shadowpillar> nopcode: what? emacs? lol
[04:17] <jbinder> hi
[04:17] <bruenig> !hi | jbinder
[04:17] <ubotu> jbinder: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:17] <nopcode> Flannel: so on what cd is it then?
[04:17] <hdz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4202/
[04:17] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: because emacs takes up 5 cd's
[04:17] <Shadowpillar> lol
[04:17] <Flannel> nopcode: None.  Well, I guess it might be on the DVD
[04:17] <beterraba> hello, how do i do to change my desktop image? it looks like it was locked, but i dont know how it happened!
[04:17] <Flannel> nopcode: Ubuntu doesn't do the debian CD thing, where you can grab all the repositories on CDs
[04:18] <nopcode> Flannel: i was thinking along the lines of "the whole repository on one CD"
[04:18] <hdz> i give up
[04:18] <bruenig> beterraba, right click on the desktop, change desktop background
[04:18] <silvertip257> can anyone point me to a webpage or whatever that will tell me if Ubuntu 6.06 is compatible/has drivers for a certain wireless card
[04:18] <nnk> How do I turn a .tar.gz into a .deb?
[04:18] <bruenig> !wifi
[04:18] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:18] <knovak> ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package right? i'm on Dapper, and I want to remove the default games, but when I try it says it needs to take out ubuntu-desktop.
[04:18] <silvertip257> thanks bruenig
[04:18] <silvertip257> lol
[04:18] <Flannel> nopcode: Nope.  The whole repository is huge.  Since it contains ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc, etc, etc.  They all share the exact same repositories
[04:18] <jbinder> nnk: you can't
[04:18] <beterraba> bruenig, sorry, there is not this option!!
[04:18] <nnk> jbinder, how do I make a .deb at all?
[04:18] <bruenig> ok!!!
[04:18] <Flannel> knovak: right.  Just a metapackage, replace it before upgrading to edgy!
[04:18] <nopcode> Flannel: well they should be 95% identical to each other right?
[04:18] <OneOfTheMany> nkk:  alien ?
[04:18] <jbinder> nnk: you download it
[04:19] <bruenig> beterraba, unfortunately I am using xfce, I forgot how gnome does it
[04:19] <nopcode> Flannel: it's just a different window-manager default?
[04:19] <jbinder> nnk: you don't make it
[04:19] <Flannel> nopcode: Er... no.  Theyre all very different.  All the GUI stuff is different.  All the GUI programs, etc.
[04:19] <hdz> wouldn't it be a better idea to use the usb1.1 instead of all this bridge routing to pci 2.0 usb card to usb linksys?
[04:19] <nnk> jbinder, obvious there is a way to make .debs somehow...
[04:19] <nopcode> Flannel: gui is just a minor portion
[04:19] <beterraba> i dont use gnome
[04:19] <jbinder> nnk: oh i get it
[04:19] <jbinder> lol
[04:19] <beterraba> i use kde
[04:19] <nnk> even if not from a .tar.gz
[04:19] <jbinder> nnk: i know how to make a .deb from an rpm
[04:19] <jbinder> with alien
[04:19] <nnk> yeah...
[04:19] <nnk> but there's also something at the make/make install stage, I think...
[04:20] <Flannel> nopcode: er, not really.  It's the majority of the MB on the CD.  The CLI is identical for all of them, correct.  Well, even that's not true.  Since, I know ubuntu includes some CLI programs that aren't in Kubuntu, for instance.
[04:20] <nnk> I just forgot the command
[04:20] <bruenig> nnk, checkinstall
[04:20] <Flannel> !checkinstll | nnk
[04:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about checkinstll - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:20] <nnk> !checkinstall | nnk
[04:20] <vox754> nnk: yes there are methods, but I currently cannot mention one. Let me check.
[04:20] <nopcode> Flannel: and why would the use different gui programs?
[04:20] <jbinder> nnk: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-92016.html
[04:20] <jbinder> nnk: click
[04:20] <nopcode> s/the/they/
[04:21] <Flannel> nopcode: because they use different libraries.  And as such, you don't have.. Gedit, for instance, in KDE (you have Kate).  Or Evolution.
[04:21] <nnk> checkinstall was what I was looking for, thanks guys
[04:21] <zbadone> my old HD was setup as a LVM partition, booting from another HD, /dev/mapper/...  doesnt show up in /dev
[04:21] <jbinder> k
[04:21] <lordkeiden> flannel: i just installed xubuntu on my ubunto system. does firefox, openoffice and evolution run stable in it?
[04:21] <nopcode> wait so you're saying they chose the software based on toolkit facism??
[04:21] <zbadone> when I put the old HD (LVM) back into the system\
[04:21] <Flannel> lordkeiden: Of course they do.
[04:22] <Flannel> nopcode: Er... Yes.  Because if you're running KDE, and you install a Gnome program, you have to drag in the entire gnome toolkit.
[04:22] <GMachine_24> Hi - I was just here about 10 minutes ago and someone posted a URL to Linux information about setting screen resolution. I forgot to save the URL - is that person still here or does anyone else have it?
[04:22] <Flannel> nopcode: anyway, this is getting offtopic, I'd be happy to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic, if you'd like.
[04:22] <bruenig> !fixres

[04:22] <nopcode> Flannel: ok
[04:22] <Shadowpillar> Flannel: that's like saying the windows API is fascist
[04:23] <zbadone> so my question is, how do I mount a previous LVM partiton?
[04:23] <zbadone> whne /dev/mapper doesnt show up in /dev
[04:23] <Shadowpillar> having a million UI api's is just a great idea. I love the performance loss and the design clash

[04:23] <doubleA> I just loaded Edgy (my first linux).  working fine, but making no sounds.  How do i turn on the sound?
[04:23] <GMachine_24> ................................i was wondering
[04:24] <zbadone> but the LVM partition is NOT set up as a RAID device
[04:24] <lordkeiden> Flannel: good. I have a fast lappy, about a year old, but I figure y let the desktop suck up the cpu cuz it can?
[04:24] <bruenig> zbadone, did you check the second link there
[04:24] <xtknight> hdz: im here if you need help
[04:24] <ben_> i ned help
[04:24] <xtknight> !ask | ben_
[04:24] <ubotu> ben_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:24] <zbadone> not yet, since I had people responding I figured to ask all before leaving
[04:24] <ben_> i'm having a problem with steam now
[04:24] <illriginal> How come my screen saver pauses/jumps?
[04:24] <ben_> fonts dont' show up
[04:25] <bruenig> illriginal, you have weak hardware probably
[04:25] <zbadone> but will check into it
[04:25] <xtknight> ben_: known issue with steam , look on winehq app database for a fix
[04:25] <illriginal> hm... ok
[04:25] <ben_> link?
[04:25] <illriginal> so just use a black screen as a screen saver?
[04:25] <bruenig> they jump on mine too, so I just go with blank screen
[04:25] <zbadone> somehow my /usr/sahre/perl got screwed up badly
[04:25] <illriginal> cool
[04:25] <zbadone> /usr/share/perl
[04:25] <illriginal> ah well
[04:25] <illriginal> thanks anyways :P
[04:26] <xtknight> ben_: bug #4449 http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554
[04:26] <zbadone> try to copy over another HD /usr/share/perl
[04:26] <bruenig> they don't all jump just some of the more demanding ones
[04:26] <zbadone> from another system
[04:26] <doubleA> 2
[04:26] <ben_> wait
[04:26] <quaal> why did my ntfs mount just take a dump
[04:26] <ben_> i found a different soltuion
[04:26] <quaal> was working fine
[04:26] <zbadone> that time of day?
[04:26] <quaal> now i cant mount it
[04:26] <xtknight> lol
[04:26] <ben_> Ok guys, if you manage to copy the Tahoma.tff to your ./wine/drive_c/windows/fonts and you still can't see anything. You might have been a doughnut and installed steam/wine as root?
[04:26] <ben_> In this case you also need to add the font to your /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[04:26] <ben_> It might also be helpful to say, if you copied the two needed windows .dlls to your user/.wine folder, so should probably chuck the .dlls in the /root/.wine too.
[04:27] <jenia6230> {blow}
[04:28] <ben_> where would steam be saved?
[04:28] <xtknight> ben_: probably ~/.wine/drive_c/program files/valve
[04:28] <Moxxon> How do you mount a CD in ubuntu?
[04:29] <fr500> Moxxon: just insert it
[04:29] <bruenig> Moxxon, should mount automatically

[04:29] <ben_> okay
[04:29] <Moxxon> To run a CD in wine its

[04:29] <felixcanis11> hey....i need some help. right now i'm booting puppy linux from a live CD because my ubuntu (Edgy Eft) keeps freezing up on me. sometimes it happens when the system is booting. sometimes it happens when i'm signing on. often it happens randomly after startup, anywhere from just a second after my desktop shows up to an hour or two later. i really need some help...i don't know ubuntu cause i just switched to it from gentoo. can an
[04:29] <Moxxon> Wine /media/cd1/installer.exe
[04:29] <Moxxon> Right?
[04:30] <xtknight> ben_: Places->Home   , view->show hidden files  , navigate to .wine
[04:30] <bruenig> Moxxon, probably /media/cdrom1/installer.exe assuming those are all correct
[04:30] <Moxxon> Right
[04:30] <fr500> Moxxon: yes
[04:30] <bruenig> Moxxon, don't know what you called the mountpoints and such
[04:30] <Moxxon> If its a multi CD installation
[04:30] <Moxxon> And you take teh CD out
[04:30] <Moxxon> will it still run?
[04:30] <Moxxon> or how does that work?
[04:30] <fr500> Moxxon: there is a way for doing that, look at the wine docs
[04:30] <Moxxon> I know copying it all into one folder right?
[04:31] <SoulGrind> hello
[04:31] <ben_> where do i find navigate?
[04:31] <xtknight> ben_: i mean navigate to the .wine folder.  double click it
[04:32] <Moxxon> fr500, I copied all of the files from each of the CDs into one files but it gave me an error message, I did the /media/cdrom1/installer.exe and it worked?
[04:32] <ben_> got it ;)

[04:34] <hdz> i think i overwrote the lspci -vv tho :\
[04:34] <nick_> can someone help me on how to uninstall a driver?
[04:34] <xtknight> hdz: ok that's dmesg...just type `sudo lspci -vv` and post it
[04:34] <xtknight> nick_: which driver?
[04:34] <xtknight> nick_: sudo modprobe -r <driver_name>
[04:35] <bruenig> felixcanis11, that problem is so wide open, it could be nearly anything
[04:35] <nick_> i tried a linuxant driver and i want to unistall it
[04:35] <hdz> xtknight what are yo trying to find with that
[04:35] <xtknight> hdz: the driver for your linksys usb adapter
[04:35] <bruenig> fresh install would probably be easiest
[04:35] <hdz> cisco
[04:35] <nick_> its a US robotics usb adapter
[04:35] <fr500> felixcanis11: can you try to boot without usplash?
[04:36] <xtknight> hdz: cisco is not the name of a driver
[04:36] <felixcanis11> how do i do that? like i said, new to ubuntu
[04:36] <fr500> !usplash
[04:36] <ubotu> 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
[04:36] <hdz> it all points to the usb bus, and the north and south bridge
[04:36] <Christopher> Hey guys. I have this problem, everytime I type lana in backwards in any form on Ubuntu 6.10, my current window closes. anyone else have this problem?
[04:36] <xtknight> nick_: linuxant probably has uninstall instructions
[04:37] <hdz> should i try it in the regular 1.1 usb slot i might get better results instead of this stuff
[04:37] <Christopher> Is it possibly a parental control on? somebody try it.
[04:37] <xtknight> hdz: yeah, i guess
[04:37] <hdz> ohci is the driver but that's for the

[04:37] <threeonefour> do i have to reinstall linux if i put my current harddrive into my new machine

[04:38] <Music_Shuffle> Christopher, as can I.
[04:38] <Music_Shuffle> Lol.
[04:38] <xtknight> can you type canal?
[04:38] <bruenig> threeonefour, probably for hardware configuration and such you would. I would at least try it and see and then go from there
[04:38] <xtknight> ;P

[04:39] <xtknight> hdz: i dont know, try it
[04:39] <Music_Shuffle> xtknight, are there even parental control options in existence?
[04:39] <threeonefour> bruenig, my new machine has same ammount of ram same  video card just different processpr
[04:39] <Christopher> seriosuly, is anal a blocked word by a bundled in parental control thing...?
[04:39] <xtknight> Music_Shuffle: no
[04:39] <hdz> xt man i hope you come here a lot :)
[04:39] <ben_> how do i fix steams font error
[04:39] <xtknight> not that i know of
[04:39] <Music_Shuffle> I didn't think so.
[04:39] <ben_> without downloading anything
[04:40] <hdz> okay ill be back, someone wanted my dmesg, that doesn't help any?
[04:40] <nick_> so i have this usb wireless adapter how can i tell what driver it is using
[04:40] <kitche> Music_Shuffle: you can use squid for parental control
[04:40] <bruenig> threeonefour, go for it and see. If it doesn't work fresh install.
[04:40] <xtknight> hdz: not really.  i'll have to go soon
[04:40] <Christopher> Dude, this is messed up.
[04:40] <Christopher> later all.
[04:40] <elkbuntu> that response time for the quit is way too slow and the rejoin is far too quick
[04:40] <hdz> http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1169083632250&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper that's the device
[04:40] <Music_Shuffle> kitche, I was just curious, not a parent, nor a fan of having my parents in control of much :P
[04:40] <hdz> damn will you be here for 30 minutes more?
[04:41] <Music_Shuffle> elkbuntu, you mean for that to be a legit concern?
[04:41] <elkbuntu> Music_Shuffle, i mean for it to be anything more than a prank
[04:42] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[04:42] <xtknight> hdz: nope, youll have to find out the chipset it uses
[04:42] <xtknight> hdz: search for the model number WUSB54GS and linux maybe youll get somewhere.  may have to use ndiswrapper or linuxant
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> how does one view a djvu file in ubuntu?
[04:43] <devilsadvocate> or an xml file for that matter
[04:43] <nick_> can anyone help me with wreless driver issues
[04:43] <xtknight> night
[04:43] <Music_Shuffle> Night.
[04:44] <hdz> knight what if i find the driver on the net
[04:45] <DarthLappy> I just rebooted one of my Ubuntu computers and got "EXT3-fs: error loading journal." I was then dropped in a BusyBox shell. Can I fix my installation?
[04:46] <frogzoo> DarthLappy: unless you're 7334 zuper hax0r, best you can do is boot a live cd & run fsck -a against the file system
[04:47] <DarthLappy> frogzoo: Okay.
[04:47] <ben_> can someone help me with steam?!
[04:47] <Chankster> is anyone knowledgeable on installing 5.10 on a oldworld ppc?
[04:47] <frogzoo> DarthLappy: and in future, don't cut the power while you're writing to drives ;)
[04:47] <DarthLappy> I didn't.
[04:47] <frogzoo> sure sure
[04:47] <hdz> i think i'm gonna reinstall heh
[04:47] <DarthLappy> I issued a normal reboot command from the console >_>
[04:48] <frogzoo> DarthLappy: what's your idea of a normal reboot command?
[04:48] <hdz> knight the lspci -vv just gives 3com for the eth0 which i dont use
[04:48] <DarthLappy> frogzoo: sudo reboot
[04:49] <hdz> it gives the usb bus drivers and bridge drivers listed
[04:49] <hdz> but i dont see Linksys cisco in there unless i do lsusb
[04:50] <DarthLappy> frogzoo: O_o well a few reboots actually seem to have done the trick.
[04:50] <Renan_s2> Hello, can someone here help with this problem when doing an upgrade from Dapper to Edgy: http://paste.ubuntubrasil.org/1522
[04:50] <kitche> DarthLappy: you should do shutdown -r now to reboot just to make sure data gets written correctly
[04:50] <luckyone> hello all - I am trying to figure out how to use slocate to find all of the .wma files on my system so I can delete them
[04:51] <hdz> See  here. Card works well once the Broadcom firmware is installed WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[04:51] <DarthLappy> kitche: They're not the same thing?
[04:51] <kitche> DarthLappy: they are but think reboot is a tad harsher then the shutdown command
[04:51] <DarthLappy> kitche: Ah, okay.
[04:51] <luckyone> so I am trying to do 'slocate /media/garage1/Music *.wma' and it isn't working for me... how do I make slocate search recursively
[04:52] <frogzoo> DarthLappy: no, not the same - reboot takes different flags, best to avoid reboot & use shutdown
[04:52] <shatrat> luckyone, why dont you just "locate *.wma"
[04:52] <KeithC> can anyone help me get wireless to work on my dell inspiron 600m? I cant get the built in wireless to work and now im working with a plugged inlinksys usb wireless card i just want one to work....
[04:52] <hdz> knight: i wont know if this is the redirecting hardware doing this so i'm gonna try to put it in 1.1 and reboot, do i need to rehash hardware for any reason so it looks at 1.1 instead of the pci 2.0 card
[04:52] <frogzoo> luckyone: locate pulls everything from its database, so recursive is the default
[04:53] <KeithC> hmmm i keep getting kicked from the server for some reason...
[04:53] <hdz> keithc: heh good luck
[04:53] <ewood> You're all just too white and nerdy...
[04:53] <shatrat> KeithC, wireless can be a pain.  Depending on what chipset you have you might need Ndiswrapper or something.  Check the how to
[04:53] <KeithC> is it that hard hdz?
[04:53] <KeithC> ive been reading multiple how tos
[04:53] <ewood> Or rather, we're all too white and nerdy

[04:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about superbowl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:53] <hdz> i have same card i'm having probs, but mines connected to a pciusb2.0 card
[04:53] <KeithC> its my older laptop - its smaller and light weight so i want to make it my take to class laptop and i want linux for it... if ubuntu is a pain to get to work with it what os would be good?
[04:54] <luckyone> shatrat: Well, how do I make it only look in a specified directory?
[04:54] <ewood> bots don't belong in IRC, far as I'm concerned. ubotu.
[04:54] <hdz> just ubuntu
[04:54] <shatrat> ewood, racism rears its ugly head
[04:54] <KeithC> was that directed at me hdz?
[04:54] <hdz> yes
[04:54] <ewood> shatrat, yeah, that Weird Al is one ugly racist alright..
[04:54] <shatrat> luckyone, I dont know, I've never cared.  Just go to the directory and "ls *.wma" if its just one directory
[04:54] <hdz> wont work there i dont see it workin on other os
[04:54] <hdz> what type linksys usb you have
[04:54] <KeithC> lemme check
[04:55] <hdz> i got wusb54gs
[04:55] <Chankster> is anyone knowledgeable on installing 5.10 on a oldworld ppc?
[04:55] <KeithC> linksys compact wireless g usb adapter
[04:55] <luckyone> shatrat: I see, it is several directories. I'll just locate them all
[04:55] <shatrat> why 5.10?
[04:55] <ewood> Chankster: Only tried newworld. Does it even work with BootX?
[04:55] <hdz> whats it say on the card
[04:55] <shatrat> luckyone, locate searches your whole filesystem.
[04:55] <KeithC> it says compact wireless-g usb adapter. thats about it.
[04:55] <Chankster> shatrat: thats the only version i can get to the install with
[04:56] <mrwillob1> I saw a thread online that was too confusing, does anyone know an easy way to reinstall GRUB?  mine got messed up when I switched drives around...
[04:56] <hdz> nah you gotta look for WUSB54***
[04:56] <shatrat> Chankster, maybe you should try the alternate install CD for 6.06?  Its likely just the liveCD youre having trouble with
[04:56] <hdz> else you aint gettin no where
[04:56] <Chankster> ewood: i've gotten it installed but when trying to boot i get some evms_activate error error
[04:56] <hdz> is it cisco?
[04:56] <frogzoo> mrwillob1: unfortunately, there's no right way to write an easy grub howto
[04:56] <slvmchn> i just updated from dapper to edgy and restarted, so far it works but i get this error message on boot
[04:56] <slvmchn> Icon 'dia_gnome_icon.png' not found
[04:56] <KeithC> WUSB54GC
[04:56] <slvmchn> any way to remove that
[04:56] <ReKlipz> !grup | mrwillob1
[04:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:57] <KeithC> and yes its cisco
[04:57] <ReKlipz> !grub | mrwillob1

[04:57] <ewood> shatrat: I'd think he's not trying the live CD with BootX. Not for that old version.
[04:57] <mrwillob1> everyone, thanks, I'll check it out
[04:57] <KeithC> hdz: need any more info on teh card?
[04:57] <Fear_of_C> I'm running 64 bit linux with a 512MB Nvidia graphics card (GeForce 7700 on Asus A8JS), and the 3d graphics run choppy
[04:57] <Fear_of_C> any ideas of how to solve this?
[04:57] <KeithC> hdz:  adapter*
[04:57] <hdz> yers is listed on that wifi page
[04:58] <shatrat> ewood, well if he uwas trying the liveCD, that would explain it's not working :)  Anyway, I have null experience with 5.10 and I doubt anybody in here is still running it, so any info is gonna be fuzzy by now
[04:58] <hdz> i wish i could fake mine to be pcmcia f*ck
[04:58] <hdz> i have s
[04:58] <hdz> you can find the driver on that wifi page yours is listed i just went across it an hour ago
[04:58] <KeithC> hdz: so basically the usb adapter will work once i plug it into the laptop? thats strange because ive been trying to get that to work too and still no succcess.
[04:58] <hdz> i think i'm assd out
[04:59] <KeithC> ooo sweet what page?
[04:59] <frogzoo> shatrat: 5.10 is LTS, so it's pretty popular
[04:59] <hdz> no you need the driver, ndiswrapper at most
[04:59] <luckyone> shatrat: I guess I want to use find then... it just had a longer man page and I am feeling lazy...
[04:59] <ewood> Chankster: Is it a problem with mounting root filesystem?
[04:59] <KeithC> where do i get the drive hdz?
[04:59] <Chankster> ewood: nope, its a evms_activate error
[04:59] <zero88> can anybody tell me what a good wifi scanner is?
[04:59] <Chankster> ewood: and ive gotten it on two separate oldworld g3s
[04:59] <hdz> theres shit on sourceforge
[05:00] <hdz> for wifi scanning
[05:00] <frogzoo> zero88: there is just one: kismet
[05:00] <hdz> um
[05:00] <hdz> !wifi
[05:00] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:00] <xixor> anyone have any advice on optimizing ubuntu/linux for use on a laptop with respect to optimizing battery life?
[05:00] <hdz> go there
[05:00] <zero88> frogzoo isnt that for cracking weps tho?
[05:00] <jeffery> could anyone tell me how I can rollback a deb package?
[05:00] <KeithC> hdz:  thank you for everything
[05:00] <frogzoo> zero88: it slices, it dices
[05:00] <ewood> Chankster: I did a search including that error, and just got something that applies to PC hardware and a problem mounting the root fs. They recommended typing in evms_activate
[05:00] <hdz> np make sure every setting is correct but yours is there i remember
[05:00] <ewood> So I don't know what's up.
[05:00] <frogzoo> jeffery: you can't - only uninstall, reinstall
[05:00] <cafuego_> xixor: `laptop-mode' is your friend.
[05:01] <hdz> mine could prob be faked as a pcmcia card but
[05:01] <zero88> frogzoo haha, ive been using aircrack, im jsut loking for something that can find locations
[05:01] <Chankster> ewood: typing it in where?
[05:01] <KeithC> hdz:  ill let you know how it goes im turnoning on the 600m now and see if i can get it to work with the files on htere....
[05:01] <rasputin> what packages provide the manpages for developer docs in ubuntu?
[05:01] <hdz> i dont think theres a driver, maybe routing through 3com hardware

[05:01] <hdz> ok
[05:01] <frogzoo> zero88: just the network manager, or wifi-radar maybe
[05:01] <bill57785> I need a hex editor for kubuntu
[05:01] <ewood> Chankster: after a different error.

[05:02] <KeithC> umm quick q hdz - if i got no internet on the mcahine how do i get the files for the wireless?
[05:02] <frogzoo> bill57785: apt-cache search editor | grep -i hex
[05:02] <ewood> Chankster: That's all I'm getting from ye olde Google.
[05:02] <Chankster> lol
[05:02] <cafuego_> KeithC: removable media
[05:02] <xixor> cafuego_: what is this laptop-mode you speak of?
[05:02] <tim167> i have 8 packages selected for install in synaptic, but 'apply' is grayed out...help!
[05:02] <cafuego_> xixor: Install it, check docs, enjoy.
[05:03] <frogzoo> bill57785: you might also try emacs's hex editor mode
[05:03] <KeithC> yah but all the ile names listed are apt-get commands cafuego...
[05:03] <ewood> tim167: if you select or deselect another package, it won't change? Just saying 'OK' also does nothing?
[05:03] <tim167> never mind, i had to start synaptic with sudo...
[05:03] <ewood> Hehe
[05:03] <tim167> :)
[05:03] <cafuego_> KeithC: then apt-zip might be your friend; you'll need to fetch that by hand, though.
[05:03] <KeithC> alright im off for the night - thank you everyone.
[05:04] <jessid> hello...some of you know how can I make the hard disks of my PC to cool down a little? I mean, the get very hot
[05:04] <cafuego_> jessid: how hot?
[05:04] <fr500> why does the open files dialog always show hidden files for me
[05:04] <shatrat> jessid, Fans.
[05:04] <fr500> only in edgy, never before
[05:05] <cafuego_> fr500: You enable it. Right click the files listing.
[05:05] <shatrat> jessid, also, hot hard drives are prone to failure, and a drive that suddenly runs hotter than it used to is a sign that a drive might be about to fail
[05:05] <fr500> let me check
[05:05] <bill57785> frogzoo: I type that in, but it just gave me a new command line
[05:05] <xixor> cafuego_: the only package I see is laptop-mode-tools, is that it?
[05:05] <cafuego_> !info laptop-mode
[05:05] <ubotu> laptop-mode: laptop-mode aims to reduce the power consumption of laptops. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4 (edgy), package size 13 kB, installed size 88 kB

[05:05] <Chankster> ewood: when it drops to a shell, i typed evms_activate but i got a not found error
[05:05] <jalvarado> hi
[05:05] <fr500> cafuego_: duh!!! thanks man
[05:05] <jessid> cafuego hurts the fingers if you touch them...I mean they are not working a lot to be so hot
[05:07] <ewood> Chankster: I wish I knew what evms is.
[05:07] <jessid> shatrat you r right, but i imagine there is a configuration file to make the hd to "disable" or turn off (dont know exactly the term)
[05:07] <Moxxon> Anyone here Russian?
[05:07] <ewood> Nyet
[05:07] <xixor> cafuego_: ok, will check it out, thanks, eh!  The other thing, is that I see that there is an IBM ACPI package to enable something ACPI things for IBM notebooks (I have a thinkpad).  The website says that its include in kernels 2.6.10 and later.  Is there a way I can check if this option has been compiled in the default ubuntu kernel that I am using?
[05:07] <cafuego_> jessid: I need a number. `smartctl' or `hddtemp' might help.
[05:07] <Moxxon> or from eastern europe?
[05:08] <Meshyf> Anyone know if the latest version of Beryl works with Ubuntu amd 64 version?
[05:08] <ewood> Moxxon: Ya ne ponymayu po russki
[05:08] <shatrat> jessid, I imagine there is as well, but if your hard drives are getting hot that is only a bandaid.  You need to fix the problem by cooling them.  Ball bearing 80mm fans are only a few dollars, and can save your hard drives.
[05:08] <nomasteryoda> cafuego, or anyone... why would edgy's gnome login break? I can get into this thing by choosing kde, but gnome just sits with the mouse cursor on the screen
[05:08] <ewood> Moxxon: Why?

[05:08] <threeonefour> shatrat, can i take my current hd and put it into a newer comp   and still have everything wrok w/o reinstalling
[05:08] <ewood> !evms
[05:08] <ubotu> evms: Enterprise Volume Management System (core). In component main, is optional. Version 2.5.5-15 (edgy), package size 84 kB, installed size 304 kB
[05:09] <ewood> Well, that's handy..
[05:09] <jessid> cafuego_ wait for a second...i have to install those
[05:09] <nomasteryoda> and yes i have beryl installed.. but that works fine in kde ...
[05:09] <bobby_> :o
[05:09] <bobby_> >_>
[05:09] <ewood> Chankster: Are you using LVMs?
[05:09] <Atnan> Has anyone experienced difficulties with installing a base-system using the "alternate" media?
[05:09] <Chankster> ewood: whats lvms?
[05:09] <xixor> cafuego_: wow, that is a snazy command.  It has found /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/acpi/ibm_acpi.ko, so I guess it is there, that is great
[05:10] <shatrat> threeonefour, probably not boot from it, you could boot from something else and read the data though
[05:10] <Atnan> The installer states "To install only the base system, type 'server' then ENTER"....which brings up "Could not find kernel image: server".
[05:10] <ewood> Chankster: Logical Volume Management, i think. Something that ubuntu and Fedora use, at least. They don't use standard partitions, but create virtual volumes within an LVM group.
[05:10] <shatrat> threeonefour, then again, if it might work.  it certainly wont break anything if you try
[05:10] <doubleA> trying to set up Evolution with gmail.  does anyone know the server settings or how i find them out?
[05:10] <Chankster> ewood: and how would i know if im using it
[05:10] <cafuego_> doubleA: gmail lists pop and smtp server settings somewhere on the site
[05:11] <bobby_> doubleA, : its on gmail's help
[05:11] <Chankster> ewood: i know my os9 is on /dev/sda9 and ubuntu on /dev/sda10
[05:11] <doubleA> cafuego, thanks.  i try looking there again
[05:11] <seww> how is compiz different from beryl and which one is better/more stable?
[05:11] <nomasteryoda> beryl is better.. .imho
[05:11] <seww> yeah
[05:12] <nomasteryoda> certainly prettier
[05:12] <ewood> Chankster: That's a good question, but I think the installer will use it by default.
[05:12] <seww> hmm ok
[05:12] <kitche> seww: beryl doesnt need gnome to work
[05:12] <threeonefour> shatrat, thats what a wanted to hear thx
[05:12] <seww> i just cant install beryl at all so im looking for other options
[05:12] <nonickforme> Can somone help me out with files rights on a Samba share? THe files in the root directory of it can be edited fine but i can create dirs or edit anything in the sub dirs.
[05:12] <shatrat> seww, neither one is particularly stable by any sane standards.  Beryl is a fork off compiz and seems to get more updates and features.  I would imagine compiz would be more stable
[05:12] <Chankster> ewood: then yea i am using it lol
[05:12] <nomasteryoda> yup. ... using beryl right now on kde... was on gnome earlier tonight... but some update .. i think... dorked that
[05:12] <seww> shatrat: ok thx
[05:12] <ewood> Chankster: Could try a new installation and manually partition, I'd think.
[05:12] <Dakylla> hi
[05:13] <Chankster> ewood: instead of using the largest free space?
[05:13] <Atnan> No-one has experience with Ubuntu-server installs? Is there a separate channel?
[05:13] <Dakylla> im earching for the better device to get  evolution snced please
[05:13] <Dakylla> any clue ?
[05:13] <seww> one more thing, it doesn't seem like i can connect to Foonetic's IRC server with Xchat in ubuntu but in XP it works fine, any ideas?
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> Chankster, sounds like the cd is defective...
[05:13] <ewood> Chankster: I think so. I haven't installed Ubuntu 5.10 in a while.
[05:14] <Chankster> nomasteryoda, its a pressed CD from the company
[05:14] <ewood> Chankster: I also never manually did partitions for it. Haven't had problems, but I've only installed onto newer Macs.
[05:14] <nomasteryoda> ah, i've had those be bad too Chankster
[05:14] <Fear_of_C_> any reason why graphics on 64 bit linux would by choppy?
[05:15] <Fear_of_C_> I'm using nvidia Geforce Go 7700 w/ 512MB
[05:15] <ewood> I have factory CDs that are fine.
[05:15] <Fear_of_C_> with the nvidia drivers installed
[05:15] <Chankster> nomasteryoda: either way i cant get 6.06 or 6.10 to even get to the install
[05:15] <jessid> cafuego_ 49 degrees
[05:16] <jessid> wonderful tool this hddtemp!!!
[05:16] <nomasteryoda> Chankster, if you hit escape when starting up the CD and edit the boot menu to exclude the quiet and splash you might find more info right there to help us
[05:17] <Erealz> hello everyone
[05:17] <jalvarado> Hi
[05:17] <Erealz> I just installed ubuntu
[05:17] <jalvarado> ok
[05:17] <Chankster> nomasteryoda: i cant even get to a install on 6.06 or 6.10 and on 5.10 i don't even get to the splash once installed
[05:17] <Erealz> working good so far
[05:17] <jalvarado> Erealz, ok
[05:17] <w1jrm> can anyone here tell me how to adjust the sync rates in ubuntu i am having an issue with my monitor
[05:17] <Erealz> id like to know if anyone can help with some quick questions...?
[05:18] <Chankster> Eralz | !ask
[05:18] <shatrat> Erealz, shoot
[05:18] <jalvarado> Erealz, shure
[05:18] <shatrat> Chankster, !dyslexia\
[05:18] <Erealz> alright
[05:18] <ewood> Ubuntu's not too clear about Mac system requirements. "Modern G3, G4 and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks."
[05:18] <Chankster> rofl
[05:18] <Chankster> oops
[05:18] <ewood> I'm willing to bet there's no active support for OldWorld Macs in Ubuntu.
[05:18] <Erealz> one sec
[05:18] <jalvarado> Erealz, ok
[05:18] <tim167> hi all, I'm trying to compile/install Wired, there is a autogen.sh file, it has an error : "aclocal: unrecognized option '--force' " what is aclocal supposed to do ?
[05:19] <Chankster> ewood: i followed the oldworld instructions on the wiki so apparently it works on g3s
[05:19] <Erealz> ok so part of the reason I installed ubuntu is because of the cool 3d desktop engin beryl.
[05:19] <Erealz> I use this tutorial to install http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html
[05:19] <shatrat> Erealz, theres a seperate channel for that. #ubuntu-effects
[05:19] <w1jrm> can anyone anwser my questing that i asked about 22-25 lines up
[05:19] <AMAG> In case you folks are wondering about my on-going 3ware/ubuntu saga, i am now repartitioning my array because the partitioner in the installer failed and somehow the filesystems became corrupt!
[05:19] <ewood> Chankster: Oh, I didn't know that existed. Don't they have notes about your model on there?
[05:19] <Erealz> I fallowed the it to the T
[05:19] <Erealz> it works
[05:19] <Erealz> but
[05:19] <Erealz> it crash?...
[05:20] <kitche> !enter|Eraelz anywyas you want #ubuntu-effects channel
[05:20] <ubotu> Eraelz anywyas you want #ubuntu-effects channel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:20] <tim167> the command provoking the error : aclocal --forcve -I config/m4, any ideas ?
[05:20] <Erealz> now im not sure why that is...is couse I don't have enough ram  or what
[05:20] <shatrat> Erealz, lots of people have had problems with latest release.  You can download to an earlier one by forcing version in synaptic
[05:20] <tim167> correction : the command provoking the error : aclocal --force -I config/m4, any ideas ?
[05:20] <Chankster> ewood: i haven't found anything there
[05:20] <Erealz> is that right
[05:20] <shatrat> Im always right, dear.
[05:20] <kitche> tim167: is there a configure file?
[05:20] <quaal> does anyone know why a working ntfs mount would all of a sudden take a dump and stop working
[05:21] <tim167> kitchie, yes
[05:21] <kitche> quaal: because ntfs on linux is unstable
[05:21] <jwtodd> i just got my 8800 card working on 6.10 x64 ... but it looks (as in black screen) during screen saver. any ideas on how i can disable screensaver till i sort this out? when i go to the screensaver config ui, the screen locks. thx.
[05:21] <Erealz> now I suspect that it not my video card because if it was it wouldn't work in the first place right
[05:21] <nomasteryoda> kitche, so true
[05:21] <kitche> tim167: jsut use the configure script no need to run autogen.sh
[05:21] <quaal> kitche: i thought reading from ntfs was stable
[05:21] <quaal> just read/write was unstable
[05:21] <tim167> kitche: aaight :)
[05:21] <Erealz> alright
[05:21] <quaal> kitche, i unmounted and tried remounting the partition with no luck
[05:21] <liotari> hI ALL
[05:21] <Brime> Hay what Video Card are you all using? I'm a little sick of dealing with my ATI 9200...
[05:21] <quaal> what i must i do to fix it
[05:22] <Erealz> what the channel again so I can go their for the help I seek?
[05:22] <nomasteryoda> quaal, you should run a chkdisk on it from windows
[05:22] <Erealz> yes
[05:22] <AMAG> Brime, hard to go wrong with nvidia
[05:22] <Erealz> that what im running
[05:22] <quaal> Brime,  i have a geforce 6800
[05:22] <shatrat> Erealz, ubuntu-effects
[05:22] <quaal> nomasteryoda, hmm
[05:22] <Erealz> crusial ati 9200 radion
[05:22] <w1jrm> ok i will ask again can anyone help me with a monitor/graphic issue
[05:22] <kitche> quaal: not really well it works but doesn't mean it's stable
[05:22] <jwtodd> i have an asus en8800gtx
[05:22] <nomasteryoda> quaal, that is my experience...
[05:22] <kitche> Erealz: #ubuntu-effects
[05:22] <bobby_> how can I stop Ubuntu from putting an icon on my desktop everytime i mount something?
[05:22] <quaal> nomasteryoda, does linux not have a chkdisk equivalent?
[05:22] <Erealz> is their a problem with ati 9200 radeon
[05:22] <Erealz> ?
[05:22] <nomasteryoda> when ubuntu won't mount a drive, it has errors... and those must be fixed first
[05:22] <nomasteryoda> fsck
[05:23] <quaal> hmm
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> but no read/write on the windows disk
[05:23] <quaal> but fsck runs risk of ruining the partition
[05:23] <kitche> quaal: but it doesn't do anything for ntfs
[05:23] <quaal> right
[05:23] <AMAG> I just bought a 7600GT for a basically headless file server; may as well use something that works right.
[05:23] <quaal> ok i guess i'll have to boot to windows then
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> er, not if it has no r/w permission
[05:23] <quaal> thanks guys
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> np
[05:23] <shatrat> AMAG, that crushes me emotionally.
[05:23] <nomasteryoda> lol
[05:23] <AMAG> Desktop has 7950GX2; need to upgrade to 8800GTX like jwtodd :)
[05:23] <Erealz> ok im off to the other room
[05:23] <Erealz> thnx anyways
[05:24] <AMAG> shatrat, l2buybettervideocard? :)
[05:24] <sammyf> hey there
[05:24] <sammyf> anybody can help with an error when booting?
[05:24] <sammyf> I'm getting GRUB ERROR 17
[05:24] <liotari> Hi all, I have a problem with my flash drive. as i insert it, it is writen PROLIFIC USB-Flash-Disk. What should I do then??
[05:24] <Brime> Ok i'll have a look at nvidia.... Just got moneys from work... :)
[05:24] <kitche> sammyf: cna you get your /boot/grub/menu.lst and pastebin it
[05:24] <jwtodd> ahhhh come on in ... the water is ... ?fine?
[05:24] <jwtodd> :)
[05:25] <bobby_> how can I stop Ubuntu from putting an icon on my desktop everytime i mount something?
[05:25] <sammyf> kitche: one sec
[05:25] <AMAG> Brime, what do you use your computer for?
[05:25] <Omer> Hey
[05:25] <kitche> liotari: should automount just have to figure out where it automounts to
[05:25] <Acu> I want to watch the apprentice from NBC -  I need a working FLASH PLayer in either Firefox (Iceweasel) or Konqueror - using synaptics you get confuse of plugins for flash and nothing works - is any solution for this ?
[05:25] <Brime> AMAG my main desktop
[05:25] <Omer> Anyone have any screenshots of ubuntu?
[05:25] <AMAG> Brime, do you play video games or anything that really requires a powerful 3d accelerator?
[05:25] <Omer> ...?
[05:26] <jwtodd> anyone know the commandline config option to turn off screensaver?
[05:26] <liotari> kitche: How can I do that?
[05:26] <kitche> Omer: http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=751&slide=4
[05:26] <kitche> liotari: type in mount and see if something is mounted that wasn't
[05:26] <Omer> Thanks
[05:27] <sammyf> kitche: hmm ... /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist, I looked for it on hda1, which should be my C drive if I'm not mistaken, but it doesn't seem to be there :/
[05:27] <Brime> AMAG, I still have Windozs for all my steam games so, It would be nice... but I only have a $150 limit...
[05:27] <kitche> sammyf: did you mount your ubuntu drive?
[05:28] <sammyf> kitche: everything worked fine, until I had this stupid idea to start partitionmagic8 in WIndows :/
[05:28] <sammyf> kitche: oops
[05:28] <sammyf> kitche: one sec
[05:28] <kitche> anyways it would be boot/grub/menu.lst not /boot
[05:28] <Brime> AMAG, that and i'd like to have a "smooth" Beryl setup
[05:28] <liotari> Kitche: Impossible. it is writen can't find it
[05:28] <AMAG> Brime, I gave $135 for this 7600GT from newegg.com; but honestly you may want to wait for the nvidia 8-series boards to come down in price, because I think there are fancy new DirectX features supported by the 8-series chip which the 7-series doesn't have.
[05:28] <tim167> for file-browsing i am using Nautilus, but is is -incredibly- slow, I'm looking for a -fast- and -light- alternative
[05:29] <Contrition> ok, I'm trying to install and keep getting /bin/sh : can't access tty: job control turned off, checked alot of places but couldn't find an answer wondering what's wrong help would be appreciated
[05:29] <Brime> AMAG, Hay thats a good tip... Thanks I think I'll do that :)
[05:29] <AMAG> The cheapest 8-series cards today are still close to $400
[05:30] <brandon> Could anyone help me with a sound problem in Ubuntu?
[05:30] <liotari> Can anyone tell me how to format  usb Flash Drive?
[05:30] <AMAG> But six months from now they may be within your budget
[05:30] <AMAG> Brime, does your mainboard have PCI-e slots?
[05:30] <AMAG> I don't know anything about ATI cards so I am not familar with your current video board
[05:31] <liotari> Can anyone tell me how to format  usb Flash Drive???
[05:31] <Brime> AMAG, no... T_T I was thinking of upgrading my mother board too....
[05:31] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: you format it just like any other drive
[05:31] <AMAG> All the new graphics cards are PCI-e. :/
[05:31] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: fdisk /dev/your-device
[05:31] <tim167> lotari: right-click > format ?
[05:31] <sammyf> kitche: hmm ... boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist .... and in /boot/grub there is only a file called device.map
[05:32] <OneOfTheMany> if thats available, yes
[05:32] <brandon> ALSA is at version 1.0.14 and Ubuntu has 1.0.11.  When will this usually be updated?
[05:32] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: if thats available yes
[05:32] <AMAG> My philosophy with personal computers has always been upgrade big, but not very often.  That way I don't compromise and buy an old AGP card, for example, because my mainboard does not have PCI-e slots.
[05:32] <cafuego_> brandon: next release
[05:32] <kitche> sammyf: are you in the folder that you mounted your ubuntu filesystem?
[05:32] <brandon> My sound won't work, should I upgrade manually to try and fix it?
[05:32] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: or you can install gparted for a nice gui for partitioning and formatting drives
[05:32] <sammyf> kitche: in /  yes
[05:33] <sammyf> kitche: mounting that worked without problems
[05:33] <kitche> sammyf: are you in / or your mounted folder for ubuntu /
[05:33] <AMAG> My weekend project is replacing a dual Pentium II 350 with 256MB ram, which I bought in 1998; with a much newer system that has Intel E6600 CPU, 2GB ram, and a 2TB RAID. :)
[05:33] <sammyf> kitche: I am in /
[05:33] <kmitch87> AMAG: sweet:)
[05:33] <brandon> Is upgrading to the latest ALSA difficult, or does someone know a website for a tutorial for Ubuntu upgrade ALSA?
[05:34] <sammyf> kitche: I booted up using the liveCD
[05:34] <Brime> AMAG, wow that's.... old...
[05:34] <AMAG> What's the name of that ext2 filesystem debugging tool?
[05:34] <ReKlipz> brandon: sudo apt-get upgrade alsa
[05:34] <sammyf> kitche:  and then mounted my linux partition with mount /dev/hdd8 /
[05:34] <jwtodd> AMAG. that's the system i just migrated too mod the raid.
[05:34] <AMAG> Brime, yeah, file server and X client machine basically
[05:35] <tim167> is anyone at all using Nautilus ? did you notice for example that ctrl+c always fails the first time, so that you have to do it twice each time ...?
[05:35] <jwtodd> i have an e6600, en8800 nv card, 4gb mem, evga mb.
[05:35] <AMAG> I wouldn't bother upgrading honestly, except I can hear the hard disks in the PII-350 slowly failing :)
[05:35] <kitche> sammyf: umm ok you just mounted it wrong so I can't help you since you overrode the livecd's /
[05:35] <joe_> Can someone help me out, I installed beryl, after it crashed a few times, I uninstalled it, and now I am having problems with my windows manager
[05:36] <ReKlipz> i cant get a key to bind to open a terminal, ive tried lots of combinations and they never work
[05:36] <sammyf> kitche
[05:36] <AMAG> I bought 4GB memory for my windows machine and was very upset it will only utilize 2.75GB or some crap. :/
[05:36] <brandon> thanks reklipz
[05:36] <ReKlipz> brandon, no prob
[05:36] <sammyf> kitche: hmm .. sorry .. I'll be back in a mn ...I'll reboot
[05:36] <AMAG> Lack of PAE addressing support in Windows XP FTL :/
[05:36] <jwtodd> i hit up newegg.com last week :)
[05:36] <jwtodd> rocking site
[05:36] <sammyf> kitche: as you can guess, I'm rather noobish when it comes to Linux
[05:36] <joe_> for example, when I open firefox my menu panel disappears
[05:36] <sammyf> brb
[05:36] <jwtodd> i'm still having some screensaver/3d issues w/ my vcard. my hunch
[05:36] <AMAG> Yeah, I like newegg.  I have never tried to RMA anything to them, but their shipping is pretty fast.
[05:36] <lordkeiden> which would give better performance 1: single 7200rpm ide hard drive for all partitions   2: one 7200rpm ide hard drive for os, one 4200rpm hard drive for swap, connected to a usb to ide adapter on a usb 2.0 port? both driver are ata4
[05:37] <brandon> I did sudo apt-get upgrade ALSA and it didn't uprade "0 upgraded" I think because I have the latest version in the repos
[05:37] <jwtodd> the reviews on newegg are gold imho
[05:37] <Hmmmm> hi guys, i cant get the NetworkManager applet to work with my wifi setup
[05:37] <jwtodd> i mean product reviews
[05:37] <ReKlipz> brandon, try: sudo apt-get remove alsa
[05:37] <ReKlipz> sudo apt-get install alsa
[05:37] <tim167> so what filebrowsers are you using on ubuntu ? anyone using rox ?
[05:37] <Hirvinen> lordkeiden: If you plan on using your swap partition you have way too little memory.
[05:37] <joe_> the main menu panel is replaced by my application menus, and I also my application bar does not show any applications
[05:38] <brandon> won't that only take the latest version from the repos though?
[05:38] <AMAG> Some of the reviews are silly.  I read a review on the mainboard i bought and it claimed the crucial.com ram wouldn't work, but I bought it anyway because I've been using crucial for so long.  Works fine for me.
[05:38] <ReKlipz> brandon, ya
[05:38] <brandon> I have that version, but on the ALSA website, 1.0.14 RC2 is out
[05:38] <ReKlipz> i'm kind of noob to linux, so don't necessarilly take my advice
[05:38] <brandon> latest version in Repos is 1.0.11
[05:38] <ReKlipz> you'll have to compile from the source then
[05:38] <jwtodd> i m sure there is noise in there but in general it was helpful
[05:38] <lordkeiden> Hirvinen: how do u know how much ram I have?
[05:39] <luckyone> is installing mythtv as simple as 'sudo apt-get install mythtv'?
[05:39] <ReKlipz> im running beryl on an 8MB integrated gfx and 128MB ram, works like a charm
[05:39] <kmitch87> lordkeiden: open a terminal and do 'free -m'
[05:39] <ReKlipz> luckyone, i think so
[05:39] <jwtodd> whoa. nice.
[05:39] <luckyone> ReKlipz: gulp, here goes nuthin
[05:39] <kmitch87> lordkeiden: the result is your ram in mb
[05:40] <AMAG> awesome, e2fsck blew away every directory in my /usr filesystem
[05:40] <liotari> OneOfTheMany: I do not see anytthing in /dev/ relating to my usb flash
[05:40] <Hirvinen> lordkeiden: All I'm saying about your amount of ram is that unless your use of the swap partition is very infrequent, you have too little.
[05:41] <Hirvinen> lordkeiden: The purpose of swap is to be a safety net that keeps the machine running even when it runs out of memory, not to serve as memory.
[05:41] <Hirvinen> It's way too slow for that.
[05:42] <nonickforme> Anyone know why when i try to save files greater in size than a few kb to my samba share, it locks up for a good minute or two?
[05:42] <nonickforme> It does save the file, but it takes ages.
[05:42] <nonickforme> Anything tiny is almost instant like it should be
[05:42] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: sec..
[05:42] <TravisivarT2> does anyone know if the bleeding edge NVIDIA and ATI driver repository is down right now?
[05:43] <sammyf> kitche: hi ... sorry for being such a pain ... so how shoudl I install it?
[05:43] <lordkeiden> I'm a ex-windows guy (thanks Vista). does linux not need swap if I have enough ram?
[05:43] <sammyf> kitche: mount I mean
[05:43] <lordkeiden> like 2gb?
[05:43] <shredder_> How do I reset my screen/font size. I applied a theme and Bam! I have supper giant font size and I can't figure how to fix?
[05:43] <tim167> Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory    where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by     'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command)   is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and     wxWidgets version is 2.6.0 or above     ---->  how do i do that ?
[05:43] <ReKlipz> lordkeiden, i think you always need a swap, not sure though
[05:43] <kitche> sammyf: do this sudo mount /dev/hdd8 /media/ubuntu make sure that /media/ubuntu exists
[05:43] <AMAG> ubuntu should really install a tftp client in /bin :/
[05:43] <ReKlipz> shredder,  system->preferences->font
[05:44] <ReKlipz> !swap
[05:44] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[05:44] <shredder_> thanks I will give it a try
[05:44] <sammyf> kitche: okay.. done
[05:44] <kitche> sammyf: go to /media/ubuntu/boot/grub
[05:45] <madar> Hello looking for some help with software raid and device nodes
[05:45] <ReKlipz> anyone know why i cant get the terminal hotkey shortcut to work?
[05:45] <madar> I have some md devices in .static/dev can I just  use these in my raidtab?
[05:46] <sammyf> kitche: done. menu.lst is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4219/
[05:46] <madar> I've always had md devices listed under /dev in the past but they aren't there by default it seems with breezy
[05:46] <lordkeiden> will linux use swap if there is enough ram to meet it's needs?
[05:47] <kitche> sammyf: so /dev/hdd8 is your / right and it's on your third hard drive
[05:47] <sammyf> kitche: yes
[05:47] <kitche> lordkeiden: no it will touch swap only if it needs to
[05:47] <kitche> sammyf: your root should be root (hd2,7)
[05:47] <lordkeiden> that explains y this lappy is so snappy!

[05:48] <lordkeiden> does linux use swap to hibernate?
[05:48] <sammyf> kitche: how can I change that? is it enough to edit menu.lst?
[05:49] <kitche> sammyf: yes just edit menu.lst with sudo gedit /media/ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:49] <tim167> how do i install wxWidgets ?
[05:49] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: take a look at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296219
[05:49] <sammyf> kitche: thanks a lot! I hope not to be here in the next minutes or so ... if I'm not then it worked :)
[05:51] <lordkeiden> ubotu: hibernate
[05:51] <ubotu> hibernate: smartly puts your computer to sleep (suspend to RAM or disk). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.91-2 (edgy), package size 72 kB, installed size 364 kB
[05:51] <madbox> I am using ubuntu and whenever I want to save something to my other HD's that are partitionned for Windows ... it tells me they are read only
[05:51] <madbox> any way to fix this?
[05:52] <lordkeiden> does linux use swap to hibernate?
[05:52] <Vuen> madbox: if they are using the NTFS filesystem, there isn't really
[05:52] <AMAG> Okay, I'm sure this is a stupid question, but the ubuntu partitioning tool in the installer script cannot deal with this array I have
[05:52] <madbox> ah ok
[05:52] <madbox> thx
[05:52] <GreyGhost> madbox ,if u use ntfs ..let it be that way..
[05:52] <sammyf> cya .. or not :)
[05:52] <tomcatt> hibernate?  was that ever fixed?
[05:52] <Vuen> madbox: writing to ntfs within linux isn't really safe
[05:52] <AMAG> Yet I can't seem to get "install the base system" going without the stupid partitioning menu coming up
[05:52] <Vuen> lordkeiden: yes
[05:52] <madbox> alright, good enough, THx guys
[05:52] <Hirvinen> !ntfs
[05:52] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:52] <Hirvinen> !ntfs-3g
[05:52] <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.

[05:53] <GreyGhost> madbox ,but if u do have an extra partition u could format it to FAT32  and share it between Ubuntu and Windows..
[05:53] <lordkeiden> tomcatt: my lappy hibernates flawlesly with feisty , and it did also with edgy
[05:53] <LinX> hey guys who needs help
[05:53] <GreyGhost> yeah i dont cosider that ntfs-3g safe....
[05:53] <Vuen> madbox, GreyGhost: you can also format it Ext2, and use the EXT2IFS filesystem driver for windows. that's what i do
[05:54] <GreyGhost> Vuen , yeah but that adds one more tool to downalod ... ;)
[05:54] <Vuen> meh
[05:54] <Vuen> it's worth it for ext2. vfat sucks
[05:54] <tomcatt> lordkeiden:  I know when I got started with ubuntu, it never worked for my notebook.  then I tested out opensuse for a few weeks and it worked.
[05:54] <lordkeiden> Vuen: i can configure it to not use swap to hibernate? will it then use non-swap hard drive space for the hibernate file?
[05:55] <GreyGhost> Vuen ,oh well ... who cares... i rarely ever transfer files from Ubuntu to my windows...
[05:55] <Vuen> lordkeiden: yeah, it'll write the hibernate to a file on the root filesystem.
[05:55] <Vuen> lordkeiden: i don't know how to configure this, only that it can be done.
[05:55] <madbox> how do i enable ident in xchat
[05:55] <madbox> i got the ports forwarded..
[05:55] <liotari> OneOfTheMany: thanks
[05:56] <lordkeiden> Vuen: does the space for the hibernate file need to be contiguous?
[05:56] <loa_dude> hi.  i just installed 6.06.  it there a way to hide disk (filesystem/volume) icons on the desktop?
[05:56] <cafuego_> loa_dude: yes
[05:56] <OneOfTheMany> liotari: just be careful you format the correct thing ;) good luck !
[05:56] <Vuen> lordkeiden: i doubt it... these are very strange questions. if you don't mind me asking, why are you trying to configure it this way?
[05:56] <LinX> Does anyone have op here?
[05:57] <tim167> loa_dude: install fluxbox ;)
[05:57] <lordkeiden> tomcatt: for me hibernate is handy, but i can live with just suspend.
[05:57] <loa_dude> can you tell me cafuego?
[05:57] <Vuen> loa_dude: yes, hold on
[05:57] <LinX>  no i think amarok is the best
[05:57] <loa_dude> ok
[05:57] <cafuego_> loa_dude: No, I can't rememebr - but it know it can be done <heh>
[05:57] <tomcatt> lordkeiden:  i'm back with ubuntu now but i'll see if the hibernate works.
[05:57] <LinX>   i recommed dual booting with pcbsd
[05:57] <Vuen> loa_dude: hmm, i don't know. can't seem to find it. i use kde, sorry
[05:58] <tomcatt> lordkeiden:  opensuse 10.2 is so nice, but there some things that i don't like it about.
[05:58] <loa_dude> vuen, i am using the default knome... how do you do it in kde?
[05:58] <tomcatt> lordkeiden:  but that will have to be for another time.
[05:58] <tim167> loa_dude i was just partly kidding, i use fluxbox, doesnt have any icons on the desktop to start with
[05:58] <kishore> which one is the best burning software in linux
[05:59] <LinX> k3b
[05:59] <fr500> kishore: brasero, gnomebaker, both are good
[05:59] <kitche> kishore: k3b even though it is a kde app
[05:59] <fr500> others use graveman
[05:59] <fr500> k3b
[05:59] <lordkeiden> Vuen: I am installing 2gb of ram this week and want to be sure I done cause problems doing so. i also want to be sure this lappy stays snappy, so I'm asking now so if I hit a problem, I might have a clue of how things should work.
[05:59] <LinX> kishore: k3b by far the best
[05:59] <tomcatt> lordkeiden:  i need to reboot, new updates.  take care.
[05:59] <loa_dude> ok dudes.  gonna dig around some more.... thx anyways
[05:59] <fr500> LinX: how come?
[05:59] <cafuego_> kishore: `cdrecord' - it's the only one there is.
[05:59] <lordkeiden> tomcatt: k. bye 4 now
[05:59] <cyphase> i just spent about an hour trying to fix my account
[06:00] <cafuego_> kishore: All the others are just frontends.
[06:00] <tomcatt> :)
[06:00] <LinX> kishore: just its ease to use and it can do so many formats and i like its ISO image part
[06:00] <Vuen> lordkeiden: i see. so you want to hibernate it to change the ram? changing hardware on a hibernated system is a supremely bad idea...
[06:00] <LinX> lordkeiden: why dont you just shut it down to change ram?
[06:00] <Vuen> lordkeiden: if not, just shut it down, add the ram, turn it back on. i don't see how this would affect hibernation.
[06:00] <kitche> cafuego_: ah I forgot to say cdrecord since that is the only thing that matters and works if you know how to use it
[06:01] <sammyf> kitche: sigh ... didn't work
[06:01] <sammyf> kitche: one sec ... pasting fdisk -l and the edited menu.lst
[06:02] <lordkeiden> Vuen: yes it is. No, i'll shut down for the upgrade. when I change from 512mb to 2gb, the space needed for hibernate will also grow, I assume. I want to be sure that I am covered. my swap is 2.7gb, so I should be ok to hibernate even on a heavily loaded desktop...
[06:02] <Vuen> lordkeiden: oh, i understand now.
[06:03] <Vuen> lordkeiden: yeah, you should be fine. your computer won't catch fire or anything if it runs out of space while hibernating
[06:03] <sammyf> kitche: fdisk -l is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4222/ and menu.lst at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4223/
[06:03] <LinX> lordkeiden: so what was your prooblem with shuting down?
[06:03] <arustyspork> can somebody join #ubuntu-ohio and see why I was banned I have been on there for like 2 days and have just been helping ppl. Thnx
[06:03] <LinX>  i will arusty
[06:04] <lordkeiden> Vuen: well, it can stop u from logging in.
[06:04] <TravisivarT2> how do i get sound for a ABIT AW9D-MAX onboard sound card?
[06:04] <arustyspork> LinX: Thanks
[06:04] <kitche> sammyf: to me that looks correct
[06:04] <sammyf> kitche: sigh
[06:05] <rainwalker> Does anyone know how to get shortcuts that I have set in Amarok to work while it is minimized into the system tray or while window focus is on something else?
[06:05] <lordkeiden> LinX: no problem shutting it down. just want to be sure not to break something in the upgrade
[06:05] <sammyf> kitche: dunno ... could it be the fact that hdd8 isn't boot-enabled?
[06:05] <kitche> sammyf: no that shouldn't matter
[06:05] <LinX> lordkeiden: why would it break it by changing ram?
[06:06] <sammyf> kitche: as I said : the only thing I did was to reboot in WinXP and start up partitionmagic8 ... and GuildWars  .. but I don't think THAT should be the problem ;)
[06:06] <kitche> sammyf: hmm partitionmagic8 might have done something but hard to tell

[06:07] <sammyf> kitche: yep ... partitionmagic is my main suspect at the moment, although I didn't actually change anything with it this time
[06:07] <GMWeezel> How do I change my log in screen resolution and frequency?
[06:07] <LinX> lordkeiden i dont ge how more ram takes up more space on hd?
[06:07] <sammyf> kitche: is there a way to reinstall grub without having to reinstall ubuntu?
[06:07] <cafuego_> sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub

[06:08] <madbox> kk
[06:08] <madbox> thx
[06:08] <drivera90> 
[06:09] <lordkeiden> LinX: to hibernate, you need space=to ram. I'm adding 1.5gb of ram, a healthy jump for the swap partition to hold.

[06:12] <Crescendo> That was an interruption to my work cycle.

[06:13] <kitche> bryroz: is your numlock on?
[06:13] <bryroz> dosnt matter
[06:13] <ewood> Well, I don't know why spammers bother, to be sure. No one's about to seriously consider a spammer's ads or anything.
[06:13] <bryroz> either way nothing works except the 6 key and the right arrow dosnt work
[06:13] <LinX> i no they do it that fast you can see that they are doing anyway
[06:14] <shatrat> ewood, some spammers make millions.
[06:14] <kitche> bryroz: sounds like a bad keyboard for linux
[06:14] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> i think i've seen IPKnightly around here helping ppl out ..
[06:14] <LinX> shatrat really million how>
[06:14] <bryroz> ive tried to different keyboards, and they used to work fine.
[06:14] <elkbuntu> ewood, dont you just find that "chep v1@ga" so very tempting
[06:14] <ewood> shatrat: I expect those revenues come not from the spamees, but from companies who pay them without knowing they're using spam to get the job done. What do you say?
[06:15] <LinX> ewood thats spot on there
[06:15] <ewood> elkbuntu: Admittedly, i have a mild curiosity as to what it is.
[06:15] <shatrat> LinX, only a very small fraction of the people you reach need to actually click through your link to low rate mortgages or whatever if youre sending out gigs and gigs of spam
[06:15] <mobile> hello.  how can i prevent the totem mozilla plugin from automatically playing audio files?  sometimes i want to download them, not play them.
[06:15] <narg> It's sad reflection on humanity that sending stuff like that to people actually is profitable; no one should fall for such things
[06:15] <yellow> bryroz, do you have apcid running ?
[06:15] <LinX> shatrat yeh i spose if 1% of people click the link and millions sent thats alot of money
[06:15] <shatrat> ewood, the fact is consumers tend to be idiots, and there are plenty of people who will actually buy from these companies.  enough to buy a successful spammer a mercedes and a russian wife.
[06:15] <dbglt> my X server crashes whenever I adjust my laptop screen's brightness up or down. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[06:16] <LinX> shatrat: lol russin wife
[06:16] <bryroz> I dont know
[06:16] <ewood> shatrat: I'd like a Russian wife. Are they expensive?
[06:16] <dbglt> ewood: depends which model you purchase.
[06:16] <LinX> Nah Sweedish wife !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[06:19] <padge> Is anyone familiar with proftpd and gproftpd?
[06:20] <netsrot> LinX: you think I could solve it by configurating udev stuff?

[06:25] <ewood> I wish to burn the Fedora DVD.
[06:25] <bryroz> Two keyboards.  Right arrow key does not work on either.  Keypad does not work on one, but they both work on other computers.  And they both used to work on mine.  Any suggestions?
[06:25] <Digerati> tonyyarusso: know what im doing wrong?
[06:25] <cafuego_> ewood: use cdrecord, not dd
[06:25] <lordkeiden> LinX: didn't know kingston had that...i muct look into it.
[06:25] <LinX> hey whats the command to change your name???
[06:25] <ewood> I guess that GUI app is not so smart, then?
[06:25] <cafuego_> ewood: or gnomebaker...
[06:25] <ewood> I'm in gnomebaker.
[06:25] <yellow> bryroz,  check apcid
[06:25] <ewood> I say burn DVD ISO. I have the disc in and I say burn.
[06:25] <LinX> lordkeiden yeh it does and its 10 us dollar dearer
[06:26] <LinX> hey how do i change my name on irc
[06:26] <tonyyarusso> Digerati: looks like you need to install it.  'sudo aptitude install nvidia-xconfig'
[06:26] <bryroz> im a noob, apcid?
[06:26] <cafuego_> cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=<whatever> -v -data -eject /path/to/your/iso
[06:26] <Digerati> tonyyarusso: i was told that edgy comes supported with nvidia
[06:26] <cafuego_> hdc *might* be atapi:0,1,0
[06:26] <lordkeiden> LinX: thats not bad as I intend on keeping this lappy for at least 4 years.
[06:26] <yellow> bryroz, i accidentally remove apcid service from running at startup and i had some weird keyboards problems
[06:26] <yellow> removed*
[06:27] <DarthLappy> I've just apt-get installed ratpoison. How do I run it now? It's not in gdm.
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> Digerati: Not out of the box I imagine.
[06:27] <LinX> yeh its good and FAST
[06:27] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: 'ratpoison' maybe?  /me looks
[06:27] <yellow> bryroz,  then i  put it back on init and things's back to normal
[06:27] <bryroz> Alright, how i do i fix it?
[06:28] <Perryman> could someone advise me of what files i should back up to my /home partition from / so that i can downgrade from edgy to dapper?
[06:28] <yellow> bryroz,  i got bum package, from bum I set what runs at startup
[06:28] <ewood> Man... I tried burning from the contextual menu, but same crap. Drive is "in use"
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: /usr/bin/ratpoison
[06:28] <ewood> Why is it doing this?
[06:28] <yellow> search repository for bum
[06:28] <ewood> I told it to ignore when I inserted it.
[06:28] <DarthLappy> tonyyarusso: It says it can't open the display.
[06:28] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: Is X running?
[06:29] <Jordan_U> How do I find out what ATI card I have if lspci just tells me "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 71c5"
[06:29] <DarthLappy> tonyyarusso: At the moment, yes.
[06:29] <Jordan_U> ?
[06:29] <bryroz> Thanks  a lot!
[06:29] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: Maybe you have to specify an X display.  'DISPLAY=:0 ratpoison'
[06:29] <cafuego_> Jordan_U: run 'sudo update-pciids'
[06:29] <ewood> I'll just try restarting and then burning. Le sigh
[06:29] <DarthLappy> tonyyarusso: Connection refused.
[06:30] <Perryman> someone told me the /etc folder might have some configuration files?
[06:30] <cafuego_> Perryman: all of /etc
[06:30] <lordkeiden> gotta go! gonna break wifi with network manager again!
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: Err, not sure at this point.  (never used it)
[06:30] <kitche> DarthLappy: do this stop gdm edit .xinitrc with nano and add exec ratposion save the file then do startx

[06:30] <Jordan_U> cafuego_: thanks :)
[06:30] <Perryman> cafuego: so i should back up /etc to home when reverting to dapper
[06:31] <tonyyarusso> DarthLappy: It's just a blank X, right?  Not gdm?

[06:36] <Jordan_U> tonyyarusso: I asked if it should because it doesn't and I was wondering if I was just wasting my time trying to get it to work instead of just using fglrx :)

[06:37] <darkmatter> ok
[06:37] <tonyyarusso> Jordan_U: Ah.  :(  Um, you've tried the 'ati' one too?  If nothing, I guess try fglrx, but it's the devil too...
[06:37] <DarthLappy> kitche: Thanks.
[06:37] <ThomazLeite> Anybody can help me with listen 0.5 beta on edgy?
[06:38] <Jordan_U> tonyyarusso: Yeh, I tried both, X doesn't crash but the screen is completely distorted, it would be cool looking if it didn't make everything unusable :)
[06:39] <tonyyarusso> Jordan_U: forums?  /me crosses fingers

[06:45] <bryroz> noob
[06:46] <bryroz> i had just installed bum
[06:46] <bryroz> i didnt search for it
[06:46] <bryroz> dunno how
[06:46] <kitche> SammyF: yeah there is many ways to fix stuff had to go though the first stuff first to see if it works
[06:46] <juano__> kitche: i thought sudo init 3 stoped the other run levels
[06:46] <DigitalNinja> wow its nice to see a channel on irc with such friendly people. Never thought id see that....
[06:46] <SammyF> kitche: and ask him first how late it is at his place. if it's past 1AM, just tell him to sod off and to come back the day later, or he'll smegg up as I did and delete his XP installation by mistake :)
[06:46] <FirstStrike> all the angry people are banned
[06:46] <yellow> bryroz,  system >> administration >> synaptics package manager
[06:46] <juano__> kitche: it stops level 5 though
[06:47] <jutty> does my router have to be hooked up for 192.168.1.1 to come up
[06:47] <SammyF> kitche: good thing is : my ubuntu install is still there, so it will just keep me from playing some of the games for awhile ;)
[06:47] <bryroz> Thanks
[06:47] <kitche> juan__: yes but X doesn't run on level 5 on ubuntu or debian
[06:47] <yellow> bryroz,  then search for acpi

[06:48] <Hellevator> err I mean does anyone here use Beagle and if you do, does it slow down your computer
[06:48] <yellow> that should be it
[06:48] <mneptok> Shionjin: hi! i'm a magical fairy princess with a winged unicorn with flowers all over me!
[06:48] <kitche> juan_: because that's how it's setup but everything in ubuntu and debian is in runlevel 2 in reality
[06:48] <Shionjin> Whoo! You're pretty, Mneptok.
[06:48] <bryroz> yellow thanks
[06:48] <cafuego_> Hellevator: I sue beagle, it doesn't really slow it down after everything has been indexed. But if you have less then 1GB ram, perhaps don't use it.
[06:49] <w0rd> jutty,  what exactly is the problem?
[06:49] <jutty> nointernet through my router
[06:49] <yellow> bryroz, synaptics is the GUI tool to search + install packages

[06:50] <w0rd> jutty, hook up your router and try either 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 in firefox
[06:50] <bryroz> yellow, they are selected
[06:50] <burepe> If I install a program that is not from the repos what directory should I keep it in?
[06:50] <jutty> think the settings should work with ubuntu?
[06:50] <kitche> burepe: either /opt or /usr/local
[06:51] <w0rd> the OS doesnt matter
[06:51] <jutty> i also saw this router claimed linux compatibility
[06:51] <jutty> ok im outta here thanks man
[06:51] <yellow> bryroz, it means they are installed in your system, there should be an entry for acpid in bum
[06:51] <kitche> jutty: routers are os independent
[06:51] <w0rd> exactly
[06:52] <bryroz> yellow, i reinstalled them, im going to check again.  You said in services starrtup
[06:52] <xfrost> Hello, I use Xubuntu. How can I made that thunderbird open the links in a new tab in firefox?
[06:53] <yellow> bryoz, system >> administration >> boot up manager (bum)
[06:54] <yellow> acpid should be listed as one of the entries
[06:54] <juano__> xfrost: when you right click the link, does it give any option ?
[06:54] <X5-452> How can I see how long has been the system turned on?
[06:54] <xfrost> Just the copy link location options.
[06:55] <xfrost> juano__: It just give me the copy link option.

[06:57] <yellow> bryroz, then try sudo bum at command line

[06:57] <BlenderKitty> k
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: Or, maybe that's not what you meant
[06:57] <juano__> xfrost: mm cause it works for me, i just click it and then i go to my firefox window and the tab shows at the end, it doesnt pop up but if you go there it links you to the address
[06:57] <bryroz> i have
[06:57] <BlenderKitty> tonyyarusso: I want to specify a new directory for a website
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: Could add something in /etc/apache2/sites-available, if you're adding SSL or something, or just want them separated.
[06:57] <juano__> xfrost: 1.5.0.9 ?
[06:58] <juano__> xfrost: thunderbird version ?
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> BlenderKitty: That's easy, just use the DocumentRoot setting
[06:58] <w0rd> xfrost, I dont know if this could cause the problem but try setting firefox as default browser
[06:58] <bryroz> does apcid stand for anything?
[06:58] <Sindri> what's the terminal command for 'cut'?

[06:58] <juano__> xfrost: try w0rd suggestion, set firefox as default browser
[06:59] <xfrost> w0rd: That was the first thing I made.
[06:59] <Sindri> ThomazLeite, apt-get is for use with the terminal... aptitude is a gui to use apt-get.
[06:59] <xfrost> juano__:  That was the first thing I made.

[07:00] <madbox> If i were to click the scroll button in what would that be
[07:00] <madbox> mouse3?
[07:00] <w0rd> Sindri, ctrl-alt-backspace
[07:00] <Sindri> ThomazLeite, weird. I'm probably misinformed, I was speaking from experience.
[07:00] <Sindri> w0rd: *voice of innocence* REALLY? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *sindri has quit*
[07:00] <Sindri> w0rd: very funny.
[07:00] <w0rd> Sindri, hey, it wouldve been funny
[07:01] <ThomazLeite> Sindri, no problem

[07:04] <lordkeiden> well, i RTFM, installed network manager, and it works like it should... no breakage.  =-(
[07:05] <lordkeiden> i even have an acurate signal indicator now....
[07:05] <lordkeiden> there was no way I had 100% signal at 300ft from the router!
[07:06] <tonyyarusso> lordkeiden: I can :)
[07:06] <awdamn> I'm installing on a MacBook and did a text install. I have rEFIt installed. If I simply do sudo gptsync /dev/sda && sudo sfdisk -c /dev/sda 4 84 (root file system is on /dev/sda4 here) then I simply do grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda ???
[07:06] <lordkeiden> tonyyarusso: how do u pull that off?

[07:41] <Jordan_U> surgy: sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh
[07:41] <Moxxon> Hey
[07:41] <Omer> Jordan_U What do you mean boot from it?
[07:41] <frogzoo> xixor: not exactly - ram is compressed before hibernating - also, suspend to ram is independent of disk
[07:41] <Moxxon> I successfully installed WoW onto Ubuntu but when I run it
[07:42] <Moxxon> the screen flickers
[07:42] <Moxxon> the resolution changes
[07:42] <Moxxon> and then nothing happens
[07:42] <Moxxon> BTW I used wine to install it
[07:42] <xixor> frogzoo: ok, just trying to figure out why my sleeping and hibernating my system doesn't work
[07:42] <frogzoo> xixor: so you need ~ ram = swap for hibernate, not for suspend
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Omer: you need to set the computer to boot from the CD instead of windows, do you know what the BIOS is?
[07:42] <juano__> Jordan_U: does that make a symbolic link to the bash shell in /bin right ?
[07:42] <frogzoo> xixor: you enable laptop mode in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[07:42] <Omer> No...
[07:42] <Moxxon> Anyone know?

[07:43] <xixor> frogzoo: I have 2 gigs of ram, but only 512 megs of swap, so that could be why my hibernate isn't working
[07:43] <Jordan_U> juano__: it makes /bin/sh link to bash instead of dash

[07:43] <Omer> how do i make it boot from it?
[07:43] <juano__> Jordan_U: ahh ok thanks
[07:43] <frogzoo> xixor: easy way to check - shut down all processes, then try suspend
[07:44] <Omer> ...?
[07:44] <xixor> frogzoo: what do you mean shut down all processes?  like, not use X or anything, then try suspend to ram?
[07:44] <Jordan_U> surgy: sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old
[07:44] <Jordan_U>  sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
[07:45] <Omer> Jordan_U How do i make it boot from the CD?
[07:45] <Jordan_U> Omer: This is unfortunately different for every PC, when the computer boots up you should see some message like " press F12 to enter BIOS menu"
[07:46] <juano__> Omer: you need to enter the BIOS Setup and set the boot choice to CDROM first, then Hard disk, but first it has to look for media inside the CDROM

[07:47] <help> I think
[07:47] <help> or numbers close to it
[07:47] <cafuego_> 17"?

[07:48] <juano__> help: yeah that number is fine
[07:48] <help> so the only thing I have to do is edit xorg.conf?
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Omer: you need to press whatever key it says to press in the message that displays quickly at boot, you have to be quick, it's kind of annoying :)

[07:50] <xixor> Hey everyone, so, I have a notebook with a dual core cpu, not too sure how to ensure that the other core is operating.  Do you need to use an SMP kernel for dual core cpu's?
[07:50] <Jordan_U> help: you shouldn't loose your nvidia settings as long as you choose nvidia ( NOT "nv" ) as the driver
[07:50] <ademan> xixor: ues
[07:50] <ademan> yes*
[07:50] <Jordan_U> xixor: in Edgy I think the generic kernel has SMP support
[07:50] <juano__> xixor: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:51] <juano__> xixor: youll get details of your Processor in there
[07:51] <xixor> juano__, so, I've done that, but don't see anything about dual core

[07:53] <Moxxon> oh
[07:53] <AzMoo> juano__, yeah, that's what I mean by "fstab seems to be working".
[07:53] <juano__> AzMoo: remember its ntfs-3g and not ntfs
[07:53] <xixor> juano__, Jordan_U : nope, looks like only 1 CPU is there.  So the solution is to install an SMP kernel I take it?
[07:53] <Moxxon> I dont have any gfx drivers
[07:53] <Moxxon> whould that stop me from seeing wow?
[07:53] <juano__> AzMoo: sudo mount -a

[07:56] <Omer200> Hey
[07:56] <Omer200> I need help again
[07:56] <Omer200> I do BOOT Menu
[07:56] <Omer200> then select from CDROM
[07:57] <Omer200> And it sends me back to windows
[07:57] <juano__> Omer is the cd inserted right ?
[07:57] <Omer200> Yes
[07:57] <Omer200> Into my CD Drive
[07:57] <Moxxon> What driver do I need?
[07:57] <Moxxon> for my graphics card?
[07:58] <Omer200> Where's the how to install again?
[07:58] <Jordan_U> !fglrx | Moxxon
[07:58] <AzMoo> juano__, no joy, still r-xr-x---
[07:58] <ubotu> Moxxon: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:58] <juano__> AzMoo: sudo umount /dev/hda1
[07:58] <Omer200> Juano
[07:58] <ademan> !fiesty
[07:58] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[07:59] <juano__> AzMoo: with the line i gave you saved into fstab, do sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows
[07:59] <juano__> AzMoo: or better
[07:59] <juano__> AzMoo: sudo mount -a
[07:59] <Omer200> It doesn't boot into unbunto
[07:59] <juano__> AzMoo: nevermind 1st, do sudo umount /dev/hda1 , then do sudo mount -a with the ile i gave you saved into etc/fstab
[07:59] <AzMoo> juano__, yeah, that got it. That's interesting. I thought mount -a was supposed to remount everything.
[08:00] <AzMoo> juano__, cheers.
[08:00] <juano__> AzMoo: yea but its better to umount what you mounted wrongly first
[08:00] <surgy> can someone please help me with my sound problem? im trying to install a sound card driver for an armada 1750 the driver is an executable called ess1869 and when i run it i get : segmentation fault
[08:00] <juano__> AzMoo: :-) cheers!
[08:01] <Omer200> uh
[08:01] <Omer200> i found out my mistak
[08:01] <Enselic`> Does anyone know where the output if the i810 graohics driver is located?
[08:01] <juano__> surgy: how about:  bash ess1869 ?
[08:02] <surgy> juano_: cannot execute binary file
[08:02] <cafuego_> juano__/surgy: no
[08:02] <cafuego_> surgy: 'sudo modprobe ess1869'
[08:02] <cafuego_> surgy: In fact, I think you'll even want the alsa driver.
[08:02] <thespirit> can anyone help me in connecting my wireless data card please?
[08:03] <thespirit> huawei ec321
[08:03] <xixor> so, I have the linux-image-generic package installed, which I hear provides SMP support, but /proc/cpuinfo still shows only a single cpu, also, uname -a does not show an SMP kernel.  Is there something else that needs to be done to use the SMP kernel?
[08:03] <surgy> cafuego: modprobe doesnt show anything and whats the alsa driver
[08:03] <juano__> cafuego_: what does modprobe actually do ? i really dont know
[08:04] <cafuego_> surgy: modpriobe isn't *supposed* to show anyting; that means the driver is loaded successfully.
[08:04] <surgy> cafuego_: i ment that it shows that it cannot find that module
[08:04] <cafuego_> surgy: The alsa driver is called 'snd-es1968'. That is what you want loaded at bootup.
[08:04] <cafuego_> surgy: 'sudo modprobe snd-es1968'
[08:05] <cafuego_> juano__: it load drivers into the kernel.
[08:05] <cafuego_> sorry, 1869 *doh!*
[08:05] <juano__> cafuego_: ahh ok, thanks :-)
[08:05] <cafuego_> snd-es18xx
[08:06] <cafuego_> surgy: If 'sudo modprobe snd-es18xx' works OK, you can add 'snd-es18xx' on a line by itself in /etc/modules
[08:06] <surgy> cafuego: modprobe snd-es1968  had no output that means its loaded
[08:07] <cafuego_> surgy: Ye-es, except that's for a PCI card, which the 1868 is not.
[08:07] <surgy> cafuego: just like that? just add "snd-es1896" to the line?
[08:07] <surgy> ok
[08:08] <surgy> cafuego: ok so 1968 was found but 1896 was not
[08:09] <Hellevator> quick question, when launching an app from terminal what is the option to release it from terminals control?  like for gedit for example.
[08:09] <jzl> Hello, looking for a bit of help. Very new to ubuntu (*nix in general)... I was wondering why I can't stream my media from a windows server (share) and play on my ubuntu workstation?  I can play locally if I bring the file over... just not streaming
[08:09] <wounded> gedit &
[08:09] <surgy> cafuego: dint find 1868 either
[08:09] <Hellevator> jzl, how are you trying to stream it?
[08:10] <surgy> cafuego: how do i add the module so that i can use my sound card?
[08:10] <jzl> by stream it: i guess i mean just "play it" like when the folder is share is mounted on the desktop "clicking" to open it. (sorry.. very newb)
[08:10] <Enselic`> Hellevator: you mean 'gedit &' ?
[08:10] <surgy> !ntfs
[08:10] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[08:11] <surgy> !ntfs jzl
[08:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs jzl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:11] <jzl> yeah.. it is ntfs :
[08:11] <jzl> is that bad?
[08:11] <surgy> so read that link
[08:11] <Hellevator> Enselic`, wounded, when I typed gedit & file1   It opened blank gedit and told me command file1 can't be found
[08:11] <surgy> yes windows sucks
[08:11] <jzl> lol
[08:12] <jzl> ok, I will read the link... thanks for the direction.
[08:12] <surgy> np
[08:12] <Hellevator> jzl, i think you can do it somehow.  What about with Tangerine?
[08:12] <jzl> @surgy: LInk is down
[08:12] <Enselic`> Hellevator: & needs to be last
[08:12] <Enselic`> Hellevator: it's not a flag
[08:13] <Hellevator> Enselic`, ahh thanks. that works
[08:13] <jzl> Hellevator, Very Very new to *nix... my first install. Not sure what Tangerine is
[08:13] <XDy> can anyone tell me what this means :\
[08:13] <XDy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4232/
[08:13] <Enselic`> Hellevator: i.e. its not something you pass gedit, but you tell the shell to run it in background at start
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: you can also first start gedit with 'gedit' then use Ctrl + Z to suspend it, then write 'bg' to start the process in bg
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: that is the same as starting it with &
[08:14] <Hellevator> Enselic`, are there any other commands like that? I mean other than &?
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: 'fg' brings it back to forward
[08:14] <Hellevator> Enselic`, good to know
[08:14] <Enselic`> Hellevator: 'jobs' list processes you can bg and fg
[08:14] <andy> hey, what package includes the c++ calls dup and dup2
[08:15] <Enselic`> Hellevator:  bg %2 backgrounds job #2
[08:15] <Hellevator> jzl, check out this url http://www.snorp.net/log/tangerine/
[08:16] <Enselic`>  Hellevator there are a bunch of other "commandline tricks", like piping etc, but I suggest you look for them in a any linux starters guide of chosie :p
[08:16] <Hellevator> yeah, im actually doing just that.
[08:16] <Hellevator> just got lazy and didn't want to look up the answer to this one.
[08:17] <Hellevator> i didn't know how to explain my question to the index in the back ;)
[08:17] <_Rappy_> in sessions, I've set two sshfs commands to connect to two different servers. However, only one seems to automatically connect me to the server when I boot my PC. The other don't (yes, I've triple checked that the command is correct). Anyone got an idea what might be wrong?
[08:17] <Enselic`> Hellevator: yeah I usually ask here first as well
[08:17] <Enselic`> Hellevator: especially if I don't know what a feature is calle
[08:17] <Enselic`> d
[08:18] <surgy> well i guess ill learn to live with no sound on my laptop
[08:19] <andy> is there a package I have to install to be able use dup and dup2?
[08:20] <jzl> Hellevator, thanks for the link.  however, im looking of something to where I can access all my files.  I have a ton of media on there. (TV Shows, Movies, Pictures, and Music) all sprawled out on a couple of 250gb HDs.  (within windows server 2003) I just want to have access to them.. is it even possible?

[08:22] <Enselic`> Omer200: you need to be more specific
[08:22] <beoba> im not finding anything
[08:23] <Omer200> my BIOS is PhoeinxBIOS Award winning
[08:23] <Omer200> It doesn't want to Boot from the CD

[08:24] <Hellevator> heh, cool i guess
[08:24] <Hellevator> Omer200, what happens when you try to boot from the cd, did you do a file integrity check?
[08:24] <train> thanks jzl
[08:24] <train> should I insatll mplayer first?
[08:24] <jzl> Train, np
[08:24] <Enselic`> Omer200: was it an award in linux incompability? :p
[08:25] <Omer200> Hell, It just sends me back to windows
[08:25] <jzl> train, I would.. use automatix
[08:25] <Hellevator> Omer200, do you have your boot sequence set to boot the cd first?
[08:25] <zzz> Omer200: are you sure that you have changed the appropriate settings in you BIOS to boot from the cdrom?
[08:25] <zzz> s/you/your/
[08:25] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:25] <train> jzl automatix F'd my system last time I tried it
[08:25] <train> it uninstalled a lot of things
[08:25] <train> it was odd
[08:26] <madbox> what is super on a windows keyboard?
[08:26] <jzl> Im really not the person to ask.. I am VERY VERY newb.. lol
[08:26] <train> windows key
[08:26] <Enselic`> madbox: the windows key
[08:26] <Omer200> My BIOS Gives me the Boot menu but then it shows me 1st Priorty 2nd priority 3rd etc
[08:26] <train> haha no sweat
[08:26] <train> hopefully this will work
[08:26] <jzl> so I like the automatrix
[08:26] <jzl> lol
[08:26] <jzl> automatix*
[08:26] <madbox> kthx
[08:26] <zzz> Omer200: Are you sure that you have cdrom as the 1st priority?
[08:27] <Hellevator> jzl, when you go to Places => Network Servers => Windows Network does your computer show up? (make sure sharing is enabled on your windows computer
[08:27] <train> ugh that didn't seem to work
[08:27] <Omer200> Yes
[08:27] <picky2001> lsssss
[08:27] <madbox> hrm
[08:27] <jzl> Hellevator, yeah it does.. the entire workgroup does
[08:27] <madbox> windows key doesnt work for super?
[08:27] <madbox> :\
[08:27] <yh> ????
[08:27] <fredl> NetworkManager is such a poorly documented project... :/
[08:27] <mattycoze> hey, does anyone know how to get java runtime environment installed?
[08:27] <madbox> apt-get javaxxx..
[08:27] <yh> ?
[08:27] <madbox> idk what its called but its there
[08:27] <yh> ls
[08:28] <Hellevator> jzl, so using that method you are able to copy the files over but you want to be able to stream them?
[08:28] <Omer200> It just doesn't want to boot from the CD
[08:28] <Omer200> I put the cd in drive E
[08:29] <jzl> Hellevator, more just have permanent access to them.. as if a "mapped drive" within windows
[08:29] <mattycoze> umm madbox what should i write in place of the xx's?
[08:29] <jzl> Hellevator, I can see the files in the share, I just can watch or play media
[08:29] <Hellevator> jzl, AH ok.
[08:29] <Hellevator> jzl, click Places => Connect to Server
[08:30] <Hellevator> jzl, select Windows share and enter in the server name (ip address or computer name)
[08:30] <genii> Anyone using netboot or preseeded cd installs? I still can't get one to auto-add some default user
[08:30] <genii> This is with both Dapper and Edgy
[08:30] <zzz> Omer200: maybe you have to try smartboot manager to be able to boot from the cdrom
[08:30] <jzl> Hellevator, correct... this is what I have been doing
[08:31] <zzz> Is there anyone experienced with smartboot manager?
[08:31] <Omer200> zzz, Where can i get Smartboot?
[08:31] <zzz> Omer200: btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html
[08:31] <rabid_emu> award-winning BIOS can't boot from cd?
[08:31] <rabid_emu> ironic...maybe
[08:31] <Hellevator> jzl, doesn't that effectly map them so you can have single click access to them?
[08:31] <train> god I want to cry
[08:31] <genii> I believe it's a sourceforge ...lag  too slow :)
[08:31] <zzz> Omer200: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html
[08:31] <jzl> I can see it all.. all the mp3 movies and pictures.... but upon click on them to watch or listen.... I get nothing
[08:32] <Omer200> zzz, i haven't insatlled ubuntu yet
[08:32] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:32] <train> I'm afraid if I follow any howto's that have me change resource list, then I"m goign to screw up beryl or something
[08:32] <Omer200> i can't install it since it doesn't want to boot from the CDROM
[08:32] <zzz> Omer200: there are DOS executables as well. You do not need to have Ubuntu installed in order to use smart boot manager
[08:33] <jzl> Hellevator, example.. I am looking at an mp3 file right now.  I would think that clicking on it and opening with totem would play the file
[08:33] <jzl> .. but it dont
[08:33] <Omer200> zzz, I downloaded it and it opens a CMD Window then closes by itself is that supposed to happen?
[08:33] <cables> Is there any difference between irc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and irc.freenode.net/ubuntu, or are they the same channel?
[08:33] <Hellevator> jzl, weird. I just tried it on my computer to make sure.  I double clicked on an mp3 and it loaded in totem and started playing.
[08:33] <jzl> argh!
[08:33] <jzl> lol
[08:34] <zzz> Omer200: You have to run it in a command line, I suppose. Try the following: Start -> Run -> cmd
[08:34] <jzl> Hellevator, is your mp3 on a windows 2003 server share by chance?
[08:34] <Omer200> ok im on the cmd now what?
[08:34] <jzl> could I be dealing with rights issues?
[08:35] <Hellevator> jzl, if you have the mp3 codec instealled in ubuntu and can play mp3s then I'd think it should work.
[08:35] <Omer200> What do i run
[08:35] <Omer200> smartboot?
[08:35] <jzl> Hellevator, my thoughts too.
[08:35] <zzz> Omer200: go to the folder in which you downloaded the smartboot manager.
[08:35] <patbam> hi, does realplay require codecs or something to make sound work?
[08:36] <Hellevator> jzl, what happens if you right click on the mp3 and try to open it with movie player, or another application
[08:36] <Omer200> ok
[08:36] <Omer200> im there
[08:36] <zzz> Omer200: Use "cd" to change directories. I hope that you know some DOS.
[08:36] <jzl> Hellevator, same thing.. let me get you a error reason
[08:36] <Omer200> i don't know DOS though
[08:37] <Omer200> So, what do i put in?
[08:37] <zzz> Omer200: Does your computer boot from its floppy drive?
[08:37] <jzl> Hellevator, "Totem could not play 'smb://MATRIX;jzl@zion/media2/Video/Tv Episodes/Deadwood/Season 1 [Complete] /[s01e01] -deadwood.101.ws.pdtv-lol.[BT] .avi'." "Could not read from resource"
[08:38] <Omer200> no
[08:38] <Omer200> the 1st priorty is CD-ROM
[08:38] <cables> jzl, that's because it's not mounted as a drive. Totem can't read from Samba shares through Gnome's VFS. I'll send you a link on how to mount Samba shares as drives.
[08:38] <zzz> Okay; then execute following: smbinst -d 128
[08:38] <train> I have such a love hate relationship with linux
[08:38] <train> every new thing I try is bound to destroy my system
[08:38] <jzl> Hellevator, NICE.. sounds like we're getting somewhere.
[08:39] <genii> You get a win98se boot disk image from http://bootdisks.com then you make the image from windows onto a floppy. Then you copy the linux install executable onto the floppy. then you boot to the floppy. Then you type in the name of the file you copied to the floppy.
[08:39] <Omer200> zzz i need to excute sbminst -d 128?
[08:39] <zzz> Omer200: Yes; I think so.
[08:39] <Hellevator> train, yeah but you get to have fun doing it :)
[08:39] <Omer200> Ok
[08:39] <Omer200> I excuted it
[08:39] <train> I dont know if I call it fun
[08:39] <Omer200> nothing happend
[08:39] <train> more of torture
[08:39] <zzz> Omer200: Did it give any errors/feedback?
[08:40] <jzl> train... did you run from windows because of vista as I did?
[08:40] <Omer200> no
[08:40] <Omer200> nothing happend
[08:40] <cables> jzl, Hellavator, Totem can't open things from Samba shares that aren't mounted as folders. That's causing jzl's problem. Here's some instructions on how to do that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently?highlight=%28shares%29%7C%28Windows%29
[08:40] <Hellevator> train, then I guess you're going to have to start associating torture with fun :-/
[08:40] <train> haha no jzl
[08:40] <train> I've been running linux off and on for a while
[08:40] <zzz> Omer200: I believe that it installed then... Try to reboot and see if smart boot manager comes up at boot time.
[08:41] <cables> Hellavator, misspelled your nick up there... sry.
[08:41] <cables> *Hellevator, did it again...
[08:41] <jzl> cables, thanks.. I believe that i have tried this before.. Let me read over it and I will report back.. thanks again hellevator thanks.
[08:41] <Hellevator> thanks cables, i have a question though, why am I able to do it without mounting the folder permanently?
[08:42] <Hellevator> jzl, don't worry, thats not something i take offense from
[08:42] <cables> Hellevator, it probably depends on what media player you're using
[08:42] <mysta> what is a virtual package? I'm trying to install the gstreamer firefox plugin
[08:42] <SurfnKid> hi, how can i list the current printers installed on my computer via clil
[08:43] <train> ARGH
[08:43] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:43] <train> damn video codecs for being such boners
[08:43] <SurfnKid> train: yep
[08:44] <daxxar> Hm, what decides wether apt-get pulls 32bit or 64bit binaries?

[08:46] <cables> jzl, what was it?
[08:46] <zzz> meshyf: No problem
[08:46] <daxxar> mneptok: It would've been easier than reinstalling. ;-)
[08:46] <jzl> cables, I forgot one major factor
[08:46] <cables> jzl, was it something really obvious and embarassing? :) please tell
[08:46] <mneptok> daxxar: not really.
[08:46] <jzl> cables,nothing that a little sudo apt-get install smbfs wouldnt help
[08:46] <jzl> ;)
[08:46] <daxxar> mneptok: If for nothing else - the lack of requirement of being there physically. :-p
[08:47] <jzl> this is my first install ever.. I suck at the *nix :)

[08:47] <imbecile> hey guys, are there any disadvantages from installing packages from the web? http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/  it tells me i should install from "software channel"

[08:47] <foo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - this is for edgy... can I do it on dapper? I don't seem to find a dapper guide
[08:47] <jzl> wondering why in the world it would not mount
[08:47] <Hellevator> jzl, nice
[08:47] <cables> everything but the smbfs, zl?
[08:47] <cables> lol
[08:47] <cables> jzl, make sure you go to the troubleshooting section though... I had the problem it mentioned.
[08:48] <zzz> imbecile: Why don't you use: apt-get install "package name" ?
[08:48] <cables> imbecile, even better, use "sudo aptitude install <packagename>
[08:48] <imbecile> zzz i suppose i could but i dont know what im looking for
[08:48] <sexshun> how do i get perl running with apache2?
[08:48] <jzl> cables, will do ! again thanks to both you can HELLEVATOR!
[08:49] <cables> imbecile, open a terminal via Applications>Accessories>Terminal, and use the command "sudo aptitude install PACKAGENAME"

[08:49] <Omer> Nothing changed in my BOOT menu
[08:49] <ekimus> hi anyone has information on how te create a single sign on. especially when not all all applications can use pam, ldpap, database (even there I'm forced to different databases, mysql, postgres) I was thinking about using soap as a login part and writing a webinterface that will allow users to change their password which will then populate the different authentication sources. what do you think of that (is there even a pam_soap opti
[08:49] <ekimus> on)?
[08:50] <imbecile> zzz,cables, well what are the disadvantages to installing from the web?
[08:50] <zzz> imbecile: apt-get and aptitude resolve any dependencies a package has. So it is much easier to use these tools than to install from the web.
[08:50] <zzz> Omer: Nothing changed?
[08:50] <ekimus> imbecile: if you are on a slow connection it will take longer. if you have limited traffic it could eat up some of that...
[08:51] <imbecile> zzz, ahh that would be the disadvantage.. thanks
[08:51] <cables> imbecile, it won't get updated automatically, you won't get dependencies, and it takes more work to do it from the web. If you want something similar to the web interface packages.ubuntu.com has, go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[08:51] <Omer> nope, nothing at all
[08:52] <cables> zzz, you're probably right, but I thought Gdebi-installer grabbed deps when you installed from a .deb?
[08:52] <zzz> Omer: Maybe you could try to install smart boot manager on a floppy and then try to boot from the floppy.
[08:52] <zzz> Omer: This would need the floppy drive to be the first priority in the BIOS menu though.
[08:52] <imbecile> so i could just use the web to search them and install in terminal... thanks guys
[08:53] <cables> imbecile, or go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[08:53] <cables> imbecile, that's a graphical way to both search for AND install packages
[08:53] <imbecile> cables, some of the stuff i look for doesnt come up in my synaptic
[08:53] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[08:54] <cables> imbecile, that's because you don't have all the repositories enabled. I'll send a link in one second. If it doesn't show up in Synaptic, you won't be able to install from the terminal.
[08:54] <meshyf> Anyone know something that I can do to spice ubuntu up? Fresh install is so plain and boring.
[08:54] <cables> meshyf, gnome-look.org themes

[09:00] <imbecile> oh she was serious ;P
[09:00] <train> question
[09:00] <train> this is a good oen
[09:01] <train> one
[09:01] <cables> train, i'm excited. The suspense is killing me :)
[09:01] <train> why is it when I try to remove the totem-mozilla plugin it tries to uninstall ubuntu-desktop as well
[09:01] <cables> train, totem-mozilla is part of ubuntu-desktop.
[09:01] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop | train
[09:01] <ubotu> train: 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.
[09:01] <marina> hi.............
[09:02] <cables> marina, this is the support channel for a computer operating system called Ubuntu. If you need help with Ubuntu, this is the place to be. Otherwise, find another channel
[09:02] <train> how do I safely remove it cables
[09:03] <cliff_b> Hi folks.  Can someone point me to a page that explains how to cluge java, flash, and shockwave into Firefox on this 64 bit Ubuntu 6.10?
[09:03] <cables> train, you can remove ubuntu-desktop if you like. Just remember to re-install it when you upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version
[09:03] <mneptok> cliff_b: no kludge required. use Synaptic and tho additional repos.
[09:03] <mneptok> *the
[09:03] <train> what does ubuntu-desktop include?
[09:03] <cables> train, removing ubuntu-desktop is the only way to remove totem-mozilla. I know, it kills me too :)
[09:04] <mneptok> cliff_b: and there is no Shockwave for Linux.
[09:04] <train> is that including gnome and everything
[09:04] <mneptok> train: yes.
[09:04] <cables> train, it isn't a piece of software in itself. It just exists for the purpose of installing the ubuntu desktop packages all at once, for instance if you're using Kubuntu and want to try the regular ubuntu desktop
[09:04] <cables> removing it doesn't remove Gnome or anything
[09:04] <cliff_b> tks mneptok.  I tride synaptic, added sun Java 1.5, but no joy in my browser.
[09:05] <train> uuuuuugh
[09:05] <train> I think I might just dive into the mozilla plugins folder
[09:05] <train> rip it out with my teeth
[09:05] <cables> train, i know... it feels sorta wrong, but it doesn't hurt anything to remove ubuntu-desktop
[09:05] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop
[09:05] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:05] <cables> see, ubotu agrees
[09:05] <mneptok> cliff_b: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-plugin
[09:05] <train> it will remove gnome
[09:05] <cables> train, no it won't.
[09:06] <train> so I uninstall totem-mozilla and take u-desk with it
[09:06] <train> thne just reinsatll?
[09:06] <cables> train, i will try to explain what ubuntu-desktop is
[09:06] <mneptok> train: what are you trying to *do*?
[09:07] <cables> train, say you're using Kubuntu (a variant of Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome) and you want to try regular ubuntu. Installing the package ubuntu-desktop will install everything a regular Ubuntu install has. That's the only reason it exists.
[09:07] <train> remove totem-mozilla < the plugin for viewing media in firefox
[09:07] <mneptok> train: why?
[09:07] <myworld122> hi..can anybody help me. I tried to install ubuntu but at some point my monitor cannot display the image. I've tried the safe mode but it's still the sam
[09:07] <imbecile> anyone ever use tilda?
[09:07] <train> because I want to use mplayer plugin instead
[09:07] <cables> train, don't reinstall ubuntu-desktop, because it'll just put totem-mozilla back
[09:07] <cliff_b> mneptok: is there a special repo?  I get a "plugin not available, but is referred to by another source...." error
[09:07] <foo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - this is for edgy... can I do it on dapper? I don't seem to find a dapper guide
[09:07] <train> because it can actually play file formats other than "open source" formats
[09:07] <mneptok> cliff_b: it's in Universe
[09:07] <pseudomorph> anyone able to help with getting the mozillia-mplayer32 plugin working in a 64bit environment?
[09:08] <cables> train, totem can play anything. I'll send you to a page to help you install the codecs. No need to remove anything.
[09:08] <mneptok> train: so just install the mplayer plugin.
[09:08] <train> I dont like totem
[09:08] <train> =P
[09:08] <train> I like mplayer
[09:08] <train> the fast forward feature works smoothly
[09:08] <cables> train, good point.
[09:08] <train> as does the fullscreen to none full screen switch
[09:08] <cliff_b> tks mneptok, I"ll make sure universe is enabled
[09:08] <train> mplayer is raw like winamp used to be
[09:08] <train> and I love it
[09:09] <mneptok> "raw?"
[09:09] <train> no bs
[09:09] <train> playlists and such
[09:09] <imbecile> im trying to install doom and i dont know which packages to download :(
[09:09] <train> point click open video
[09:09] <train> TADA
[09:09] <crimsun> mneptok: you know, like a broom. Woosh.
[09:09] <mneptok> heh. i have heard mPlayer called many things. that sure ain't one of them ;)
[09:09] <cables> train, mplayer plugin isn't the same as mplayer...
[09:10] <train> how so?
[09:10] <fredl> hi, I'm trying to get NetworkManager to work. I have a working wpa_supplicant.conf, the only thing 'unusual' about it is that I'm using EAP-TTLS with a PAP phase2 auth. Does anybody know if it's possible to choose the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[09:10] <train> whats the best firefox media plugin
[09:10] <train> because mplayerplugin isn't that great either
[09:10] <cables> train, i use totem... it works fine.
[09:10] <cables> train, if you want totem plugin to play restricted formats, here's a guide. Pretty simple, you just need to install a bunch of packages. It's a one-command fix.
[09:10] <cables> train, if "normal" formats
[09:11] <cables> train, sorry, pasted the wrong thing

[09:12] <fredl> damn, does *anybody* here use NetworkManager???
[09:12] <myworld122> mneptok: alternate cd as in?
[09:12] <imbecile> do i d/l the x11 and sdl to run doom or just the data?
[09:12] <meshyf> !shortcuts
[09:12] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[09:13] <cables> myworld122, go to the page you got the Ubuntu CD from, and choose Alternate instead of Desktop
[09:13] <mneptok> myworld122: as in te CD image with "-alternate" in its name on every Ubuntu mirror ;)

[09:20] <trelayne> hi all. I have very very annoying problem. I have two ext3 partitions. Very often (every couple of days or so)  one of the partitions is remounted read-only because of some detected bad block. This started suddenly and I have no idea what is causing it. I suspect some program. Is there any way to determine what mind have happened prior to the remounting?
[09:20] <Deviad> Is a problem of Kernel settings so that I should enable or disable framebuffer acording to what I get now?
[09:20] <Deviad> Is it*
[09:21] <Erealz> anyone know how to get the defoults back on beryl?
[09:24] <cliff_b> trelayne: I might suspect hardware, run a confidence test on your hard drive.
[09:25] <train> hey a while back there was a script that would automatically find my NTFS partitions and moutn them on boot up and put an icon for them on my desktop
[09:25] <train> anyone aware of this?
[09:25] <trelayne> cliff_b: confidence test?
[09:25] <J-_> Erealz: go into your home folder, view>show hidden folders, then delete .emerald and .beryl and that'll do it

[09:27] <genii> trelayne Even hd right out of the factory it is normal to have up to about 5% bad blocks and so on. Normally the filesystem marks them as in use so they don't get used.

[09:32] <genii> imbecile Make it ext2 then use tunefs on it after
[09:32] <Lice> mneptok what if i use ext3?
[09:32] <imbecile> because it cant detect it
[09:32] <mneptok> you label it. you then create a partition. you then forwat that partition as ext3.
[09:32] <mneptok> Lice: http://fs-driver.org
[09:33] <genii> the hex partition number is 82
[09:33] <imbecile> well the hardrive doesnt even show up in gparted
[09:33] <genii> that means some hardware issue then

[09:44] <SurfnKid> one, two a one two three four
[09:44] <SurfnKid> boom
[09:44] <gouki> I second zzz, root___
[09:44] <genii> FuzZy2007: Ah, you may need some special kernel options if it is a dual-core then. like noacpi ond one other which I need to look up
[09:44] <SurfnKid> ok now we can get back to ubuntu
[09:45] <Jowi> Hellevator, "find / -name filename
[09:45] <aalhamad> how can i enable auto spelling check in opensoffice.. (the red line under the word which is miss types)
[09:45] <FuzZy2007> ok ... thx a lot
[09:46] <SurfnKid> this is why I watch other sports
[09:46] <root___> Im stuck.... I have loaded up Ubuntu 6.10 but it won't boot. I'm currently in safe mode. It gets to the where the little round thinking/waiting mouse thing is spinning and then it freezes
[09:47] <Imsdle> Im stuck.... I have loaded up Ubuntu 6.10 but it won't boot. I'm currently in safe mode. It gets to the where the little round thinking/waiting mouse thing is spinning and then it freezes
[09:47] <Imsdle> oops.. sorry
[09:47] <xhaan> does anyone know a way to take like 100 files with spaces in thier names and change the spaces to hyphens or underscores? :p
[09:47] <imbecile> concept10 is messaging me saying hes gonna remove your "privs" mneptok
[09:47] <CarinArr> Does anyone know what package provides libimf.so ?
[09:47] <gouki> Imsdle, we didn't mean your nickname. You should not run IRSSI as root.
[09:48] <Jowi> xhaan, "rename 's/ /_/r' *.mp3"
[09:48] <xhaan> awesome, thanks
[09:48] <Imsdle> I have no choice!!!!!!! I can't boot
[09:48] <Hellevator> jowi, this tells me the file's full path but not the partition really.  What I'd like to know is like if its on /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda3
[09:48] <Jowi> Hellevator, "mount" will show you where a path is mounted
[09:49] <Jowi> Hellevator, for example the file is in /home/Jowi/test.mpg. my mount show /home to reside on /dev/sda6. so test.mpg is in sda6 partition
[09:49] <x-r00t-x> CAN ANYONE F...ing HELP ME? WITH TTY ?
[09:49] <x-r00t-x> huh?
[09:50] <[Alex_G] > hey, can someone help me? my friend's trying to get wpa working under ubuntu
[09:50] <foo> x-r00t-x: uh, could you chill out?
[09:50] <foo> x-r00t-x: Ask.. if someone knows, they will help. If not, sit tight and wait.
[09:50] <x-r00t-x> hello. i got problem with ubuntu. /dev/console error. any idea?
[09:50] <genii> FuzZy2007: Do you know how to enter the grub prompt during boot?
[09:50] <x-r00t-x> i asked 1000 time in 1 hour
[09:50] <Hellevator> jowi, thats does work however its very clumsy to do within a shell script :(
[09:50] <foo> x-r00t-x: Can you elaborate?
[09:50] <[Alex_G] > anyone?
[09:50] <x-r00t-x> i cannot reinstall ubuntu either.
[09:50] <[Alex_G] > wpa under ubuntu?
[09:51] <FuzZy2007> i guess yeah
[09:51] <Jowi> x-r00t-x, what's the error?
[09:51] <FuzZy2007> press a key
[09:51] <gouki> !wpa
[09:51] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:51] <FuzZy2007> but i don't know any command
[09:51] <gouki> !wpa > [Alex_G] 
[09:51] <Imsdle> can someone tell me how tell me why ubnutu would boot in safe but not in normal? What log files can I look at..
[09:52] <Dh3Y0> hi
[09:52] <xixor> so, quick question, my wifi driver ipw3945 works using the single core 386 kernel, but when I use the generic (SMP enabled kernel) to get both cores working, it no longer works.  I found a forum post saying that installing the package linux-686-smp package would fix it, but that wasn't it.  Does anyone have any suggestions? linux-686-smplinux-686-smp
[09:52] <zzz> !wpa | [Alex_G] 
[09:52] <ubotu> [Alex_G] : Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:52] <genii> FuzZy2007: OK, so go into the grub prompt before it starts booting. There it gives some options to edit the boot parameters. Find the default one, and add to the options:  notls noacpi    then boot with those options. If it works, put those options into the file /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:52] <Dh3Y0> anyone know about hydrogen
[09:52] <[Alex_G] > yeah, got it
[09:52] <Jowi> Imsdle, depends on when it hangs. if it hangs while Xorg is started then have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:53] <Hellevator> Dh3Y0, hydrogren? as in ruby on rails hydrogen?
[09:53] <Dh3Y0> Hellevator; as in audio software
[09:53] <Dh3Y0> drum machine
[09:53] <genii> FuzZy2007: With dual-core cpus the notls is to make sure one cpu doesn't race, it gets stuck at 100% while the other is not used sometimes.
[09:53] <cornelinux> hello, I am running ubuntu 6.06lts with spamassassin e. al.
[09:53] <Hellevator> Dh3Y0: oh, no sorry
[09:54] <Jowi> xhaan, sorry, my mistake "rename 's/ /_/g' *.mp3" (or whatever filename)
[09:54] <cstextiles> Require Ubuntu Repostories in CD ISO format Is it available for download at any site?
[09:54] <FuzZy2007> i see
[09:54] <cornelinux> What is the best way to update spamassassin to a newer version (3.1.5) when it is not in the repos?
[09:55] <FuzZy2007> but live cd doesn't have any grub .. this is after the install?
[09:55] <Jowi> xhaan, the "g" is to make the rename not stop at the first space
[09:55] <genii> cstextiles: Since the repositories are about 31 gigabytes, there is no iso image of them
[09:56] <genii> cstextiles: If you require a complete copy of the repositories for some reason, use the apt-mirror tool
[09:56] <xhaan> Jowi: hmm.. do i need a special program to use that? didnt work
[09:56] <cstextiles> genii: I actually require the repository because my Ubuntu machine is not connected to Internet and so need to download the package from other machine
[09:57] <genii> cstextiles: Are these machines at different locations, or the same place but one is just not hooked to internet?
[09:57] <FuzZy2007> genii, how do i solve that weird looking boot splash?
[09:57] <Jowi> xhaan, what do you mean? what error did you get?
[09:58] <xhaan> Jowi: no error, just didnt work
[09:58] <cstextiles> genii:Is there any way by which by specifying the metapackage conveys me the dependencies that need to be installed for installing any package. My machines are at different locations
[09:58] <genii> FuzZy2007: Sorry, didn't see that issue... the splash screen is messed up or something?
[09:58] <Jowi> xhaan, what did you type?
[09:58] <Jowi> xhaan, no error means it work. maybe you typed something wrong.
[09:58] <xhaan> rename 's/ /_/g' *.mp3 do i need the quotes also?
[09:59] <xhaan> i pasted it :0
[09:59] <genii> cstextiles: There is some method in the command dpkg which can list the dependencies. You would need to check the man page, I do not know the syntax offhand
[09:59] <Jowi> xhaan, that will replace all spaces in the filename with underscores.
[09:59] <cyphase> Virgin's New In-Flight Computers running Linux: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=609i-OhFhoQ&eurl=
[09:59] <Jowi> xhaan, that's what you asked for :)
[10:00] <cstextiles> genii: ya but it will not list only the missing dependencies?
[10:00] <xhaan> yup, they still have the spaces though
[10:01] <xhaan> Soilwork - Weapon of Vanity.mp3 < spaces
[10:01] <Jowi> xhaan, make sure you stand in the directory where you want to rename and try again.
[10:01] <xhaan> am :0
[10:01] <genii> cstextiles: Well, there is a fast way I sometimes use, which is to put  apt-get build-deps <packagename>   which will try to download and compile the source packages
[10:01] <genii> It gives a comprehensive list
[10:02] <xhaan> would a symlink stop it from working?
[10:02] <Jowi> xhaan, so check the filepermissions to make sure they are not write protected.
[10:02] <Jowi> xhaan, no idea if it works with symlinks (never tried)
[10:02] <zzz> Jowi: It should work with symlinks.
[10:02] <xhaan> ill try from the actual dir
[10:02] <xhaan> and permissions are correct
[10:03] <FuzZy2007> genii
[10:03] <FuzZy2007> i disabled quiet splash to see what happens
[10:04] <xhaan> it isnt the symlink either
[10:04] <FuzZy2007> now ... it stops at settings console font and keymap
[10:04] <Jowi> xhaan, "rename 's/TextToReplace/ReplaceWithThis/g' filenamepattern" works fine.
[10:04] <KomiaPoika> how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:04] <FuzZy2007> i gave notls and noacpi at bootparameters
[10:05] <CarinArr> does anyone know if there's a package that provides libimf.so? I would really appreciate some help with this!
[10:05] <genii> FuzZy2007: Hi. Did it get you up and running?
[10:05] <FuzZy2007> the bootsplash looks weird (black-white, a couple of artifacts, the moving bar leaves a trail)
[10:05] <FuzZy2007> no
[10:05] <genii> ew lthat doesn't sound good
[10:05] <Jewfro-Macabbi> CarinArr, did you try "aptitude search libimf.so"?
[10:05] <FuzZy2007> stops at settings console fonts and keymap
[10:06] <oem> hi all
[10:06] <Bu-Omar> hello ... Is there a firefox plug-in for asf video ?
[10:06] <FuzZy2007> mplayer connectivity
[10:06] <xhaan> Jowi: thats exactly how im doing it... oh well, its no big deal :0
[10:06] <gouki> CarinArr, if you use apt-get or aptitude to install the software you want, libimf will be installed (if it is a dependency)
[10:06] <hacosta> does anyone here run virtualbox
[10:06] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Bu-Omar, you need w32codecs
[10:06] <cstextile1> genii: Sorry connection problem and so the last message recieved of yours is "genii: cstextiles: Well, there is a fast way I sometimes use, which is to put  apt-get build-deps <packagename>   which will try to download and compile the source packages"
[10:07] <Jowi> xhaan, the files are in your homedir?
[10:07] <st3v3n_r0y> foo , sorry dude . i got dc
[10:07] <xhaan> theyre not in my home dir but i have permissions and ownership of them
[10:07] <genii> cstextile1 Yes, that usually gives a comprehensive list of what dependencies that package has. Of course it will try to go get them and fail, but you still get the list of depnedencies
[10:07] <st3v3n_r0y> foo, x-r00t-x is me. i guess its problem with ex3-fs.
[10:08] <Jowi> xhaan, and it's not an ntfs partition or fat32?
[10:08] <keymone> hi guys
[10:08] <keymone> 'n girls ;)
[10:08] <xhaan> its ext3
[10:08] <genii> FuzZy2007: I think you need to reinstall
[10:08] <Bu-Omar> Jewfro_Macabbi: I have w32codecs already. But I am unable to view the video within the browser
[10:08] <st3v3n_r0y> whatever :P
[10:08] <keymone> can somebody help me?
[10:08] <Jowi> xhaan, that is strange. no idea why it doesn't work for you...
[10:08] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Bu-Omar, ah, you probably need some of the gstreamer plugins, or something like that, check the wiki multimedia page
[10:08] <genii> FuzZy2007: What dist are you trying to put on?
[10:08] <cstextile1> genii: Ya but what about the package that dependency may depend on and which may not be present in the Ubuntu machine
[10:09] <FuzZy2007> ubuntu edgy eft
[10:09] <KomiaPoika> how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:09] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Bu-Omar, it lists all the stuff you need to get your multimedia going
[10:09] <genii> cstextile1 As for that I do not know.
[10:09] <st3v3n_r0y> ext3-fs problem . what i do to fix it?
[10:09] <keymone> how do i set up rp-pppoe in ubuntu if i do not have internet and cannot write "sudo apt-get install build-essential"?
[10:09] <imbecile> i installed doom it should be in "games" right?
[10:10] <th0mz> hi, anybody has an idea how to get auth on ldap working ? it's buggy on edgy
[10:10] <th0mz> (bug 51315)
[10:10] <feld> keymone: get the required packages downloaded on a CD or something and take them to that computer?
[10:10] <Jewfro-Macabbi> keymone, download the .deb file and burn it to a disc
[10:11] <keymone> feld: Jewfro-Macabbi: how do i know what is build-essential package?
[10:11] <genii> FuzZy2007: You may want to try the alternate install CD, do a basic command-line install then after do something like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, possible under the "debian", then games.
[10:11] <imbecile> i installed doom it should be in "games" right?
[10:11] <imbecile> ahh thanks Jewfro-Macabbi
[10:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> keymone, google for build-essential.deb +ubuntu or +edgy, whichever you are using
[10:11] <keymone> Jewfro-Macabbi: thanks, i'll try
[10:11] <genii> keymone build-essential should be on the cdrom
[10:12] <Jewfro-Macabbi> genii, it doesn't come with the install disc
[10:12] <trollboy> anyone here running cisco vpn
[10:12] <keymone> genii: i downloaded desktop installation
[10:12] <genii> Jewfro-Macabbi: Damn
[10:12] <keymone> yep, damn (
[10:14] <imbecile> Jewfro-Macabbi,  what do you mean under the "debian" sorry im new to ubuntu
[10:14] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, under you applications menu you might have a debian group, you can also try running doom from command line
[10:15] <genii> !build-essential
[10:15] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:15] <KomiaPoika> how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:15] <FuzZy2007> genii, will dual core support be added in feisty fey?
[10:15] <genii> bah no repo name there
[10:15] <genii> !info build-essential
[10:15] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[10:15] <FuzZy2007> for now i'll just install sabayon :D
[10:16] <Shadowpillar> what's some good dvd authoring software for linux?
[10:16] <genii> FuzZy2007: There is dual cpu support already by default by way of the SMP kernel. But specifically dual-core cpus have an issue on first install. after install they work fine
[10:16] <imbecile> Jewfro-Macabbi,  so i would just type doom in the command line right?
[10:16] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, correct
[10:16] <CarinArr> gouki, i can't use apt-get or aptitude to install the software i'm afraid
[10:17] <imbecile> no luck :( maybe i dont have all the stuff installed
[10:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Shadowpillar, QDVDauthor is one choice
[10:17] <gouki> CarinArr, do you mind telling what software you're trying to install?
[10:17] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, I always had problems w/the old doom also actually now that I think about it...
[10:18] <valehru> would there be a reason why my usplash screen keeps going fuzzy when I restart/shutdown the computer?  It's perfect when it boots up...
[10:18] <CarinArr> gouki: well, i'm beta testing a graphics application;)
[10:18] <genii> keymone: Which distribution do you need build-essential for?
[10:18] <CarinArr> which for some reason has dynamically linked libimf.so which seems to be a library related to the intel c compiler
[10:18] <keymone> genii: edgy
[10:18] <imbecile> Jewfro-Macabbi,  can you recommend any good linux fps?
[10:18] <genii> keymone OK 1 minute
[10:19] <Madpilot> imbecile, there's a Linux installer for Enemy Territory
[10:19] <gouki> CarinArr, yes, it is. Have you checked if there is a .DEB package of that software? It may not be on official repositories, but you may find it on sites like getdeb.net
[10:19] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, Doom 3 works good :), but there are several Alien Arena is pretty good.
[10:19] <imbecile> Madpilot,  Ill give it a try
[10:19] <valehru> imbecile, Unreal Tournament 2004 has one as well...
[10:20] <gouki> imbecile, I have to say that Open Arena is very good!
[10:20] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, you can actually install all the UT games on linux
[10:20] <imbecile> thanks you guys..wow looks like i asked the right question... hehe
[10:20] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, Postal 2 is available for linux also, it's fun
[10:21] <gouki> imbecile, if you want to install Open Arena, GetDeb.net has it packaged. After installing just apt-get install -f to take care of the only dependencie the game has.
[10:21] <mm2000> hello, anyonw here knows how to setup exim4 mail-server?
[10:21] <imbecile> all these are source right?
[10:21] <valehru> mneptok, coke came out through my nose at that one...
[10:21] <keymone> did somebody tried World of Warcraft on ubuntu?
[10:21] <CarinArr> gouki: there isn't a .deb package, the software isn't publically available.
[10:22] <valehru> keymone, works perfectly in cedega and wine I think.
[10:22] <Jewfro-Macabbi> valehru, you may want to be careful using the words "coke" and nose, LOL
[10:22] <keymone> valehru: ok, thanks :)
[10:22] <CarinArr> so unfortunately, short of getting them to link the library statically, i need libimf.so
[10:22] <valehru> Jewfro-Macabbi, haha'
[10:22] <gouki> CarinArr, yes, there is a package for it! In case you didn't noticed, I'm talking about Open Arena!
[10:22] <mneptok> valehru: New Phlegm Coke ... taste the histamines!
[10:22] <imbecile> mneptok,  hehe this is my tame nick.. ive used this for years.. people who speak french always ask me if i know what it means
[10:22] <gouki> CarinArr, Sorry!
[10:22] <CarinArr> gouki: er.. huh?
[10:22] <mneptok> imbecile: c'est la meme chose en Anglais.
[10:22] <gouki> CarinArr, my bad dude! I forgot what I was talking about with you.
[10:23] <valehru> mneptok, but just with a very cool french accent
[10:23] <imbecile> hehe.. that explains it ;P its always the french people who comment on my nick
[10:23] <mneptok> valehru: oui, ou Quebecois .... >:)
[10:23] <gouki> CarinArr, what's the name of the library again?
[10:24] <mneptok> imbecile: i'm a 100% Anglophone American (but living in QC)
[10:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> Caplain, http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/07/msg04175.html
[10:24] <loka> I have amarok, but it doesn't want to play mp3's :(
[10:24] <Jewfro-Macabbi> CarinArr, http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/07/msg04175.html
[10:24] <imbecile> i wish i could speak another language :( ok ill get back on topic
[10:24] <valehru> hah, I can beat that....100% irish, who speaks irish, taught french, now living in China coding his brain out....
[10:24] <loka> imbecile: learn lojban #lojban
[10:25] <loka> very easy, logical language
[10:25] <loka> but I really want to play mp3's on my amarok
[10:25] <imbecile> loka,  but does anyone speak it?
[10:26] <loka> coi.imbesil.do'u.idoPENdomi
[10:26] <valehru> lol.
[10:26] <Madpilot> mneptok, imbecile, loka - language chat to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[10:26] <genii> keymone Bah can't seem to find any direct download for it
[10:27] <Jewfro-Macabbi> imbecile, privet moi novie drug :)
[10:27] <keymone> genii: it's sad :( but thank you for trying :) i will search too
[10:27] <CarinArr> Jewfro-Macabbi: well yes, i'm not compiling it though, i'm just trying to run it
[10:27] <KomiaPoika> who is imbecile?
[10:28] <mneptok> all of us. let's move on.
[10:28] <valehru> anyone here have some experience with usplash?  Does it flicker for anyone else when shutting down gnome?
[10:29] <genii> http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/pub/distro/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/build-essential_11.3_i386.deb
[10:29] <keymone> genii: maybe you know. my edgy connected to LAN and have internet through rp-pppoe. there are 2 other computers i want to allow them to use internet through that edgy. what packages should i also install? it will be kind of a router yes?
[10:30] <valehru> !usplash
[10:30] <ubotu> 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
[10:30] <genii> keymone If you have 2 network adapters in there you can use NAT
[10:31] <keymone> genii: no i have only 1
[10:31] <keymone> genii: but rp-pppoe is some kind of modem emulation.. so maybe it is second?
[10:32] <genii> keymone No it will still use eth0 at the bottom
[10:32] <genii> keymone It would be better just to purchase a cheap router. they are about $20 or so these days
[10:33] <aidehua> I have 1GB of data.  What's the best way to record it to multiple CDRs?
[10:33] <yomm> when I install NVIDIA 9746
[10:33] <keymone> genii: well.. it is in my home :) i don't want to turn it into labyrint of cables
[10:33] <mneptok> aidehua: tar + cut
[10:34] <CarinArr> yomm?
[10:34] <aidehua> It would be desirable to be able to retrieve the data easily from the Cds.
[10:35] <KomiaPoika> i am imbecile. how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu ?
[10:35] <yomm> when I install NVIDIA 9746 drivers on Feisty ,they work when i log in without rebooting .. but when I reboot I get error that x finds a convlicting 7184 module .. any clues ?
[10:35] <CarinArr> yomm: try using envy to install your nvidia driver
[10:35] <CarinArr> er
[10:35] <imbecile> hehe
[10:35] <CarinArr> yomm, i had that quite a lot before, try using envy to install your nvidia drivers
[10:36] <CarinArr> !envy
[10:36] <ubotu> envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[10:36] <loka> hmmm, my amarok still isn't playing mp3's. Do I have to make some configuration changes after installing libxine-extracodecs ? maybe there is a howto page
[10:36] <loka> ?
[10:37] <CarinArr> loka: did you install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[10:38] <loka> in the process
[10:38] <CarinArr> loka: tho to be fair i don't have that installed and i play mp3s fine in my amarok
[10:39] <CarinArr> maybe try installing libk3b2-mp3?
[10:39] <genii> keymone How are the computers talking to each other right now? By wireless, then the network adapter for the DSL?
[10:40] <arn_> hi, is there any Microsoft Visio type modeling tool for Ubuntu? where i can draw UML diagrams, including database diagrams. I tried Dia, but i thik its not for database diagram
[10:41] <predius> arn_: dia
[10:41] <predius> ah
[10:41] <feld> arn_: dia is the program; it's not that great. i've heard lots of people use like inkscape and do custom drawings
[10:41] <valehru> arn, dia can do db diags
[10:41] <valehru> arn, does erwin have a linux installer?
[10:42] <arn_> valehru, i didn't get db diagram drawing components for db.
[10:42] <keymone> genii: well everything is much complex now. i had only 1 windows computer and it was connected to LAN with ip 10.2.62.10. then i got second computer and i could not connect it to that LAN because i had ip conflict error at any 10.2.*.* ip so i added to first computer ip 129.168.0.1 and made second computer to use 192.168.0.2 and set up usergate proxy to use internet on second. first one uses and provides internet to second only through ppp
[10:42] <loka> CarinArr:it works NICE!!! .uisai(happiness strong).i'o(appreciation)ki'e(thanks)
[10:42] <arn_> valehru, i don't know, but i can take a look
[10:42] <keymone> genii: and i don't have any ideas how to make this on edgy :)
[10:43] <gibbs> Anybody know how to change the mouse cursor direction in aMSN? I think it's for left handed people :\
[10:43] <cbx33> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Screenshot-6.png anyone know what the right hand panel is in this screenshot?
[10:44] <valehru> cbx33, looks like a gdesklet, not sure though......seems pretty big for it..
[10:45] <cbx33> thanks valehru
[10:45] <[Elsa] > Hye! I need help, My default Mozilla Firefox (Firefox 1 right?) on my Ubuntu got crash after update Flash Player 9. So how i can uninstally that plugin or uninstall that Firefox then reinstall?
[10:46] <predius> [Elsa] : remove l/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:46] <[Elsa] > thanxs predius
[10:46] <[Elsa] > is that u mean using terminal then type ==> remove l/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:47] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhu
[10:47] <feld> [Elsa] : how did you install the plugin?
[10:47] <feld> was it autoinstalled through the browser?
[10:47] <[Elsa] > i install after i read from adobe web site, a page that i update flash player
[10:47] <[Elsa] > feld: nop, i have to download then using terminal
[10:47] <genii> keymone You should simplify your setup LOL. I would still say to get a router. But if you don't want one, then I would hook the linux box to internet modem. Then if you know the adapter which the other systems connect to that box using, then do something like:
[10:47] <genii> $sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[10:47] <genii> $sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[10:47] <genii> Where eth1 is the name of your adapter which the other computers connect thru.
[10:48] <feld> [Elsa] : it is in your home directory then
[10:48] <predius> [Elsa] : sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so or rm .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:48] <feld> rm -f .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:48] <ivx> hey on ubuntu.com there was a page that tells how to install support for mp3 and w32 codecs, i can't find it. can anyone shoot me a link
[10:48] <[Elsa] > feld: home directory mean?
[10:48] <feld> else-: run that in the terminal
[10:49] <feld> [Elsa] : run that in the terminal
[10:49] <[Elsa] > predius: [Elsa] : sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so <-- this is a terminal command to uninstall plugin?
[10:49] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ivx, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[10:49] <feld> [Elsa]  dont run that command it is wrong
[10:49] <predius> ivx: [Elsa]  to remove it, yes
[10:49] <[Elsa] > feld: ic.. ok now i run it terminal
[10:49] <[Elsa] > <feld> [Elsa]  dont run that command it is wrong <-- ark?
[10:49] <feld> predius: dude that's totally wrong
[10:50] <hacosta> anyone running virtualbox?
[10:50] <[Elsa] > huhuhu
[10:50] <keymone> genii: the point is that i have no internet modem :) i have only 1 eth0 on edgy which is connected to LAN where some kind of rp-pppoe server located
[10:50] <predius> feld: enlighten me
[10:50] <feld> predius: he installed it into his home directory
[10:50] <ivx> Jewfro-Macabbi, that's it, thanks
[10:50] <KomiaPoika> i am imbecile. how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu?
[10:50] <predius> feld: then all that's going to say is "not found"
[10:51] <genii> keymone Please if you can pastebin the results of the command   ifconfig  then I will examine your adapter setup.
[10:51] <imbecile> i am imbecile
[10:51] <keymone> genii: i'll do that when i'll get home and setup rp-pppoe there :) thank you for build-essential!
[10:51] <genii> keymone np
[10:52] <KomiaPoika> no, I am imbecile !! crucify ME !!
[10:52] <[Elsa] > duh feld...
[10:52] <genii> KomiaPoika By kernel server what do you mean?
[10:53] <genii> some module?
[10:53] <KomiaPoika> genii: some server that automatically fetches new kernels and makes them readily available
[10:53] <[Elsa] > predius: so now i have to type it on my terminal this ---> sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ??
[10:53] <ivx> hey, which file at http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/deb/?C=N;O=A should i get for dvd support
[10:54] <gouki> !dvd > ivx
[10:54] <predius> [Elsa] : or rm .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[10:54] <[Elsa] > predius: ok i try it now
[10:55] <genii> KomiaPoika: Just make a cronjob to do apt-get update, then put results of ls /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-kernel*  somewhere in your /var/www tree
[10:55] <Phrozen_One> anyone in here use ubuntu in a thinclient enviroment?
[10:56] <persen> Can i connect to a windows 2003 remote desktop server from a linux box?
[10:56] <genii> Phrozen_One: Well, I am netbooting about a dozen and installing them by server...does this qualify?
[10:56] <gouki> !samba > persen
[10:56] <gouki> genii, cool solution! (=
[10:56] <Phrozen_One> genii, netbooting == no gui or gui?
[10:56] <persen> Does the Windows remote desktop use samba?! I dont think its regular filesharing
[10:56] <Phrozen_One> genii, neverymind
[10:57] <genii> Phrozen_One: No gui. They are headless eg: no monitor/mouse/keyboard and so on
[10:57] <gouki> persen, sorry. I wasn't aware you wanted remote desktop features.
[10:57] <genii> Phrozen_One: Then I ssh into them
[10:58] <Phrozen_One> genii, would a thinclient setup include the full gnome desktop just running off this remote server, or is that a completely wrong view of thinclient computing?
[10:58] <dreamer> hi, I've been X-forwarding with Xming and putty for a while now. I just logged in with putty and see this at the beginning: /usr/bin/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/dreamer/.Xauthority  and when Itry to run (for example) firefox I get: Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server  Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: wrong authentication protocol attempted
[10:58] <gouki> persen, Terminal Server Client should do what you want
[10:58] <persen> gouki: ok, but is it possible to connect to Remote Desktop Win Server 2003 ?
[10:58] <persen> ok.
[10:58] <persen> ty
[10:58] <dreamer> I've never had this before, what could be wrong?
[10:58] <genii> Phrozen_One: Well, you could run a remote X server, yes. It is fairly resource intensive tho. But it can be done
[10:58] <gouki> perplexity, no problem!
[10:59] <Fr0Gs> Hey all
[10:59] <Fr0Gs> Ahmmm why does it take me so long to resolve an ip?
[10:59] <Phrozen_One> genii, I'm looking for a way to have gnome be "pretty" and keep the resources minimal on the clients. I'm looking for >=128 mb ram, and >=700 mhz cpu required to run smoothly
[11:00] <valehru> does anyone know an app that can batch reduce jpeg file sizes and resolutions?  i.e. optomize them for the web?
[11:01] <gouki> valehru, The Gimp?
[11:01] <Fr0Gs> fine dont answer :(
[11:01] <Fr0Gs> lol
[11:01] <valehru> gouki, the gimp only does individual files, I want to drag a folder into it and it reduces everything in all folders..
[11:02] <KomiaPoika> genii: thanks
[11:02] <gouki> valehru, you can try imagemagick, but I don't know if it do what you want.
[11:02] <genii> Phrozen_One: You want them to boot off the server or have a minimal install with something like gdm but then remote X login to an X server ?
[11:02] <gouki> valehru, you can try imagemagick, but I don't know if it will do what you want.
[11:02] <valehru> gouki, thx
[11:03] <Jowi> valehru, I do it with imagemagick. you need to use the command line for the "convert" command but it's got full range of good tools in it.
[11:03] <gouki> valehru, you can also use GThumb Image Viewer
[11:04] <Phrozen_One> genii, what do you feel would use the least resources, both client and server end?
[11:04] <dreamer> can anyone help me with my X-forwarding issue? this is really anyoing, it worked perfectly last week
[11:04] <Dh3Y0> hello
[11:04] <valehru> Jowi, thx.....
[11:04] <dreamer> and I haven't changed anything
[11:04] <Dh3Y0> how do i install a c compiler on my xubuntu box
[11:04] <gouki> valehru, go to the folder where the pictures are located, select the ones you want and then choose 'scale image'
[11:05] <genii> Phrozen_One What you could do on the server is loop-mount the livecd iso. Then use tftp to boot the remote boxes. Then they use the livecd as theiir OS. This way you don't need even a hard drive on the clients.
[11:05] <gouki> !gcc | Dh3Y0
[11:05] <ubotu> Dh3Y0: 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!)
[11:05] <rage__> dreamer: wtf is the problem you are asking about?
[11:05] <valehru> gouki, thanks again....checking out imagemagick.
[11:05] <dreamer> rage__: I'll pastebin it
[11:05] <gouki> valehru, the last tip can be done with the default software.
[11:05] <[Elsa] > predius: sorry my machine too heavy so i have to restart it
[11:06] <jmcnaught> Fr0Gs: there's a script for nautilus on this page that might do the trick for you: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-multimedia.php
[11:06] <Phrozen_One> genii, excellent suggestion. Fortunately we have resources, albeit low grade resources. Have a slew of old computers most being 128 mb, 700 mhz emachines with 20 gb hdd in them already
[11:06] <[Elsa] > predius: may i get ur code to uninstall flash plugin from firefox?
[11:06] <dreamer> rage__: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4247/
[11:07] <dreamer> rage__: before it worked perfectly, and I haven't changed any config. putty is the same also
[11:07] <gouki> Dh3Y0, a simple sudo apt-get install gcc will install a C compiler for you
[11:07] <Dh3Y0> gouki;  thanks
[11:07] <rage__> dreamer: No idea, but now you have asked your question you have more chance of getting it answered.
[11:07] <visik7> anyone know if the modem of intel gma 945GM  is working on linux ?
[11:07] <dreamer> rage__: I asked it before
[11:07] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : before you try removing the flash plugin from the command line, have you tried removing it with the synaptic package manager?
[11:08] <genii> Phrozen_One: Here is a link to the page i used as a beginning to the system I am now using to auto-install. It shows how to use the pxelinux files and so on to specify what the clients use for their / and s o on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnCluster
[11:08] <[Elsa] > jmcnaught: what is synaptic package manager?
[11:08] <gouki> [Elsa] , a simple | rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash* | will remove Flash
[11:08] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhuhu
[11:09] <[Elsa] > gouki: thanxs i will try it now
[11:09] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : it's how most programs are installed/removed in ubuntu... you go to the system menu, then administration, then synaptic
[11:09] <gouki> [Elsa] , of like jmcnaught said, try doing: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree | in case it's installed with a package manager
[11:09] <[Elsa] > huhuhu so which one first i have to do now?
[11:09] <fredl> Hmm, I just added a third network card to my server.... it seems lspci sees it.... in dmesg it shows it's loading the 3c590 module...
[11:10] <fredl> well 3c59x that is...
[11:10] <genii> Phrozen_One: You don't need to do the yp stuff and so on. Just in the /var/lib/tftpboot/default  file specify some stuff like the mounted directory of the iso to use as / and so on
[11:10] <gouki> [Elsa] , try with sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree, if that doesn't work use the previous command I gave you.
[11:10] <nrdb> what is the name of the channel for the C language
[11:10] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok i follow ur step first
[11:10] <gouki> [Elsa] , are you trying to update your Flash installation?
[11:10] <gouki> nrdb, ##c
[11:10] <fredl> how does Linux decide which network card is eth0, eth1 and eth2 ?
[11:11] <nrdb> gouki: thanks
[11:11] <[Elsa] > gouki: on my terminal give this msg: ------> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[11:11] <[Elsa] > E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[11:11] <genii> fredl If you want to specify which one gets eth1 eth2 and so on, put their mac addresses in /etc/iftab
[11:11] <fredl> thanks genii, didn't know that :)
[11:11] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : if you have synaptic running, close it before running the sudo apt-get... command
[11:11] <genii> fredl np :)
[11:12] <[Elsa] > jmcnaught: yup my synapctic running, now i close it
[11:12] <gouki> [Elsa] , then try again.
[11:12] <jmcnaught> [Elsa] : synaptic is a "point and click" way of using apt-get... but you can only use one at a time so that the two don't accidently conflict
[11:12] <Jewfro-Macabbi> anyone use Rosetta Stone? I runs fine under wine, except the Russian doesn't work due to font issue
[11:13] <fredl> genii, maybe you can help me with this too.... I put my two NIC's that were in there already in /etc/iftab now....
[11:13] <GalaZ> hi guys
[11:13] <[Elsa] > gouki: after i close that synaptic here a msg i got ------> xkarimx@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
[11:13] <[Elsa] > Reading package lists... Done
[11:13] <[Elsa] > Building dependency tree... Done
[11:13] <[Elsa] > E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-nonfree
[11:13] <[Elsa] > xkarimx@ubuntu:~$
[11:13] <fredl> genii, but I just added a third NIC. I see it in lspci... the kernel loads the 3c59x module....
[11:13] <gouki> [Elsa] , please don't post several lines on the channel. Try the first command I gave you.
[11:14] <[Elsa] > gouki: sorry about pasting that
[11:14] <fredl> genii, how do I find which MAC address the third NIC has?
[11:14] <gouki> [Elsa] , no problem.
[11:14] <gouki> fredl, ifconfig ethX, where X is the number of the card.
[11:14] <elementz> hi everybody
[11:14] <genii> fredl do ifconfig and it should list the adapters and some info including their mac addresses
[11:15] <fredl> well it doesn't show the third NIC.
[11:15] <fredl> that's my problem :)
[11:15] <GalaZ> the command for install a tar.bz2
[11:15] <GalaZ> ?

[11:15] <[Elsa] >   after i type that on terminal i got no msg
[11:15] <[Elsa] > any good signs?
[11:16] <fredl> genii, when I do 'rmmod 3c59x; modprobe 3c59x' then I see in dmesg3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html'
[11:16] <genii> fredl So when you modprobe use the -o switch to rename the mosule you load
[11:16] <gouki> [Elsa] , the flash plugin has been remove. What do you want to do now? Install Flash9?
[11:16] <gouki> *removed
[11:16] <genii> 1 minute, need to wiggle video cable, has a short which causes my screen to go unreadable
[11:16] <[Elsa] > gouki: yes, i have to install flash9
[11:16] <fredl> genii, nope, they're actually 3 different NIC's, one's a 3C950, one's a Tulip card and one's an RTLsomething.
[11:17] <gouki> [Elsa] , I'll PVT you with a link.
[11:17] <fredl> genii, so there's actually three different network driver modules loaded now.
[11:17] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok now my browser can open a flash web without auto close browser. so what command to install flash player 9?
[11:17] <[Elsa] > oic...
[11:17] <[Elsa] > thanxs gouki
[11:17] <[Elsa] > :
[11:17] <gouki> [Elsa] , no problem. You'll find the information you need there.
[11:18] <[Elsa] > gouki: thanxs for ur URL. i will follow there. if i got a problem i will ask here again. thanxs
[11:19] <fredl> genii, ooh, I do see the interface, just not when I do 'ifconfig', I actually have to specifically do 'ifconfig eth2'
[11:19] <genii> fredl Then put in /etc/networking interfaces something like a line eth2 auto  then something like iface eth0 inet dhcp   then do ifup eth2
[11:19] <genii> fredl then do again ifconfig, then add to /etc/iftab etc etc tec
[11:20] <genii> iface eth2 inet dhcp    rather , not eth0 :)
[11:21] <[Elsa] > gouki: from that link i have 2 option to install flash 9 plugin right?
[11:21] <[Elsa] > gouki: if i choose install Ubuntu repositories , is that after i running that command via terminal so everything is done now?
[11:21] <gouki> [Elsa] , just start on the wget ... part.
[11:22] <GalaZ> ERROR: Your home directory does not have a Mozilla, SeaMonkey or Firefox
[11:22] <GalaZ>        browser user directory. Run one of these browsers at least once.
[11:22] <fredl_> genii, that worked :P
[11:22] <[Elsa] > gouki: ic.. but i already type sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree . so any turn back tips?
[11:22] <genii> fredl Glad to help :)
[11:22] <gouki> [Elsa] , no. Just start on the wget... part!
[11:22] <fredl_> genii, but by ifup'ing my second external interface I got an extra default route.
[11:23] <mneptok> GalaZ: what are you trying to do?
[11:23] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok i start now
[11:23] <fredl_> which is slightly unwanted :P
[11:23] <GalaZ> install flash
[11:23] <ZoemDoef> Hi everyone
[11:23] <gouki> [Elsa] , everything is well explained on the post. Read the comments below the commands.
[11:23] <genii> fredl Whichever interface you want to be default, put that one last in /etc/iftab
[11:23] <mneptok> GalaZ: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[11:23] <fredl_> genii, but the two external interfaces are both DHCP
[11:24] <fredl_> genii, I have a cable modem and an adsl modem.
[11:24] <genii> fredl If you want for example eth0 to be the default route, put the line for eth0 last in /etc/iftab   whichever interface comes up last becomes default route
[11:24] <fredl_> genii, I think I can make Linux loadbalance over those two connections right?
[11:24] <mneptok> fredl_: no.
[11:25] <gouki> fredl_, no.
[11:25] <fredl_> I read something about that, thought I'd give it a try.
[11:25] <gouki> vf
[11:25] <ZoemDoef> I want to install and configure a GFS system, anyone here that could assist me?
[11:25] <GalaZ> thx mneptok
[11:25] <mneptok> fredl_: load balancing requires a single public facing IP
[11:25] <fredl_> really... hmm, lemme see if I can find that page again...
[11:25] <gouki> fredl_, there is a distribution for that.
[11:25] <[Elsa] > gouki: after download/install? by this command ---> wget -c http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[11:25] <fredl_> I may have interpreted it wrong.
[11:25] <jahid> hi, all files that my program's used to use is loosing their permission. like i was able to open database and xchat. but now if i want to open those, i get an exception of "cant open the file, dont have permission". but i was using those before. can anyone help me about that?
[11:26] <[Elsa] > gouki:so i have to follow next step? --> tar -xvzf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz right?
[11:26] <chrismhampson> any idea where beagle indexes firefox pages?
[11:26] <gouki> [Elsa] , read the page. It has all the information you need!
[11:26] <genii> fredl I think you can crudely increase the bandwidth by using both sets of dns in your resolv.conf
[11:26] <Jewfro-Macabbi> jahid, you can change permissions via chmod
[11:26] <Imsdle> I have installed ubuntu 6.10 but it won't start....   the screen shows the little busy mousy thing then flicks goes blank and the computer freezes
[11:26] <Imsdle> I can start it ok in safe mode
[11:27] <[Elsa] > gouki: thanxs
[11:27] <genii> fredl But you may have to use some kind of bonding driver if you want to treat them both as some single interface
[11:27] <ZoemDoef> red-het-cluster-suite anyone? please?
[11:28] <genii> Imsdle: Try adding the option  noacpi into the default kernel entry of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:28] <jahid> Jewfro-Macabbi, i can change that, but when i am trying to start my XChat its saying that i dont have permisison to open the log file. but before it was having permisison. and i was trying to open a database using pgadmin, and i got error that, dont have permission to open that db file
[11:28] <fredl_> genii, yeah I read something about that. this page is interesting but it's not the one I recall reading http://www.linux.com.lb/wiki/index.pl?node=Load%20Balancing%20Across%20Multiple%20Links
[11:29] <Jewfro-Macabbi> jahid, I've no idea why you "lost" permissions. I can only offer advice on changing them back.
[11:29] <mneptok> ZoemDoef: does GFS even run on Ubuntu? how would you get it?
[11:29] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok now i get a error. after i tar that package then i have to mv it then i get this error ----> tar -xvzf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[11:29] <ZoemDoef> there is a package available for ubuntu
[11:29] <[Elsa] > ops
[11:29] <[Elsa] > wait
[11:29] <genii> fredl Makes for some tedious reading LOL
[11:30] <ZoemDoef> could not find any docs for this though
[11:30] <[Elsa] > gouki: ok now i get a error. after i tar that package then i have to mv it then i get this error ----> mv: cannot move `install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so' to `/urs/lib/firefox/plugins': No such file or directory
[11:30] <mneptok> ZoemDoef: AFAIK, GFS is delivered only through RHN.
[11:30] <fredl_> yeah I know :) but I found one earlier that had a picture of exactly what I want, with two different ISP's, and a server with three NIC's
[11:30] <fredl_> genii, although I think masquarading will become tricky :P
[11:31] <ZoemDoef> if you do a search for this package it is available for ubuntu under the http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/
[11:32] <genii> fredl Yeah I hate messing around with iptables and so on
[11:32] <fredl_> genii, well it's really cool to dig into it, it can do TONS of stuff.
[11:32] <fredl_> genii, problem is my server is running in my meter closet, no keyboard, no screen, de nada :P
[11:33] <dreamer> can anyone help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4247/
[11:33] <fredl_> so it gets trickier even :P
[11:33] <ZoemDoef> mneptok: what would you suggest i use to cluster a filesystem accessable by courier?
[11:33] <mneptok> ZoemDoef: i see the tools, but nothing else. and only for Edgy.
[11:33] <genii> fredl Heh ssh
[11:34] <fredl_> genii, yeah that won't help though if you mess up your iptables by accident :P
[11:34] <fredl_> then it's *click* and I can get the damn thing out of my meter closet.
[11:34] <Jowi> ZoemDoef, according to this page GFS implementation is in Edgy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEdgyClusters (doesn't say how to set it up though)
[11:34] <ZoemDoef> mneptok: http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/cgi-bin//search_packages.pl?version=all&subword=1&exact=&arch=any&releases=all&case=insensitive&keywords=redhat&searchon=names
[11:34] <ZoemDoef> Jowi: thats the problem i have... could not find any docs for this
[11:34] <fredl_> genii, check out this page, it has a good picture: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
[11:35] <anthony_> hi I am a linux newbie, I have installed XGL on ubuntu 6.10, and it works.. my only problem is that when i press ALT the window I am in is thrown to the right. any one knows the problem?
[11:36] <Dh3Y0> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables??????????
[11:36] <fredl_> mneptok, gouki, doesn't http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html describe what I just asked? :)
[11:36] <genii> fredl I have a similar type box that I have also running a dialin server off a serial port. So I go into a terminal, use the intercom code to call the handset it is attached to (wireless). The thing picks up and I can authenticate in
[11:36] <mneptok> ZoemDoef: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/
[11:37] <GalaZ> guys, why can't i write  # with the keyboard? ( i've pasted )
[11:37] <ZoemDoef> mneptok: thanks, will check it out
[11:37] <fredl_> genii, LOL that's sick :P but a pretty good idea actually since my phone connection is also in the meter closet!
[11:37] <fredl_> haha, that's brilliant :)
[11:38] <mneptok> fredl_: that will load balance outgoing only.
[11:38] <mneptok> ZoemDoef: those look like the right packages, but OCFS support is already in the Ubuntu kernel ;)
[11:39] <fredl_> mneptok, yeah, but that's okay since on the cable modem connection I prefer not getting any incoming traffic anyway. The ADSL interface has a fixed IP which runs my webserver.
[11:39] <genii> fredl I have it setup to answer after 4 rings, so i just disable the answering machine which picks up after 3 and I'm in :)
[11:40] <mneptok> fredl_: so use the ADSL for all outbound. your upstream is prolly faster on the DSL.
[11:40] <Dh3Y0> why cant my c compiler create executables
[11:40] <genii> I remember the matrox shotgun modem, that was cool
[11:40] <fredl_> mneptok, well I could just loadbalance all outbound over both interfaces, right?
[11:40] <fredl_> or would that not work?
[11:41] <jmcnaught> fredl_: i bet that peer to peer applications wouldn't work
[11:41] <GalaZ> guys, why can't i write  # with the keyboard? ( i've pasted )
[11:41] <Shaffox> hey guys
[11:41] <mneptok> fredl_: no
[11:41] <OrT> GalaZ your keymap might be set up wrong?
[11:41] <GalaZ> but yesterday i've been writed  #
[11:41] <GalaZ> now i cant
[11:41] <GalaZ> :\
[11:42] <OrT> check the configuration of your gnome or kde
[11:42] <OrT> or what u use
[11:42] <GalaZ> i've kde
[11:42] <fredl_> mneptok, could you explain?
[11:42] <genii> fredl_ I was just thinking you could combine the 2 interfaces for broadband into 1 virtual interface with the bonding driver, then run the client on the same machine using the virtual interface as the default
[11:42] <jmcnaught> GalaZ: maybe the key is broken or stuck?
[11:42] <GalaZ> sorry im new.. how can i see the cofiguration of my kde?
[11:42] <OrT> don't know, gnome user :)
[11:42] <Jowi> GalaZ, maybe the shift/altgr/whateveryouuse key is stuck
[11:42] <mneptok> fredl_: if my browser sends a request to www.fred.com it *will not accept* a response from 75792.bhoehg.fred.modemcable.comcast.net
[11:42] <genii> GalaZ for kde ubuntu, see channel #kubuntu
[11:43] <Dh3Y0> why cant my c compiler create executables, i m trying to install hydrogen, when i type in ./configure it comes as that....
[11:43] <fredl_> mneptok, huh? but thats inbound, right?
[11:43] <CrashProne> GalaZ try.. 'kcontrolcenter', was it?
[11:43] <genii> mneptok You have rarp checking or so on it?
[11:43] <Jowi> Dh3Y0, install package build-essential
[11:43] <Jowi> !build-essential | Dh3Y0
[11:43] <fredl_> mneptok, I'd just let www.fred.com resolve to the IP address of the ADSL interface.
[11:43] <ubotu> Dh3Y0: 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!)
[11:43] <anthony_> hi I am a linux newbie, I have installed XGL on ubuntu 6.10, and it works.. my only problem is that when i press ALT the window I am in is thrown to the right. any one knows the problem?
[11:43] <Imsdle> genii.. how do i add   noacpi  to the menu.lst. i have it in nano.. but dont' see where i should addit
[11:44] <Dh3Y0> my applications menue just dissappeared lol
[11:44] <mneptok> fredl_: what you're saying is "i want the response to a request at IP address A to actually come from IP address B." this is IP spoofing.
[11:44] <Jowi> anthony_, check the keybindings for the windowmanager you're using (Beryl or Compiz)
[11:44] <genii> Imsdle: look for a line which is loading the main kernel. There are sometimes after options like               quiet splash
[11:45] <Imsdle> genii yup.. found  that
[11:45] <fredl_> mneptok, ah, I think I'm starting to understand what you mean. You mean if your broswer goes to www.fred.com, it comes in through adsl.fred.com, the webserver replies from cable.fred.com then that would be 'outbound' traffic and that won't work?
[11:45] <CrashProne> I used Ubuntu to make a nice networked media center PC for my friends on their network, yays.
[11:45] <CrashProne> For by their TV.
[11:45] <genii> Imsdle: So just insert before the word quiet  noacpi
[11:46] <chrismhampson> does anyone here use the firefox beagle extension?
[11:46] <anthony_> "Jowi" when i go to System/Preferences/Windows (whilst using XGL) this message comes "Window manager "compiz" has not registered a configuration tool"
[11:46] <Imsdle> fanks genii
[11:46] <Imsdle> I'll try that
[11:46] <genii> Imsdle: Let me know how it goes :)
[11:46] <Jowi> anthony_, no idea about that (I use Beryl) see in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:47] <fredl_> I'll be right back guys, I'll go reboot that server to see if genii's trick for the default route works :)
[11:47] <anthony_> okay 10x
[11:47] <[Elsa] > Hye! I got this error after follow a step how to install flash player 9 from http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash ----> mv: cannot move `install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so' to `/urs/lib/fi refox/plugins': No such file or directory
[11:47] <[Elsa] > can someone help?
[11:47] <Imsdle> genii why wouldn't i see the splash screen with the loader bar?
[11:48] <xopher> it's /usr/ not /urs/ and you could copy it to ~/.firefox/plugins aswell
[11:48] <xopher> [Elsa] , sorry ~/.mozilla/plugins
[11:48] <rambo3> [Elsa] , you are not in same dir as file or you are not root
[11:48] <xopher> not .firefox
[11:48] <[Elsa] > oic..
[11:48] <Imsdle> nope.. ... that didn't work .. froze again
[11:48] <[Elsa] > so which one step i have to do now?
[11:49] <xopher> [Elsa] , copy the file either to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins or ~/.mozilla/plugins
[11:50] <mustafap> what are you trying to do?
[11:50] <genii> Imsdle You may need to reinstall the usplash stuff after you get it booting
[11:50] <genii> !usplash | Imsdle
[11:50] <ubotu> Imsdle: 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
[11:50] <[Elsa] > xopher: may i copy by right click on package that i download then install by browse a folder to mozilla/plugins?
[11:51] <KuhLii> hi
[11:51] <Imsdle> i give up.. is there anyway i can install 6.10 .... again! without having to boot from disk? i just want to do it from a terminal
[11:52] <genii> Imsdle I have found the best way to install is from the server CD. Just to install a basic system. Then after to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:52] <KuhLii> can anyone help... im trying to get my intel 3945abg wireless? i have followed all instructions etc... on http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ however keep getting errors when trying to install... im logged in as root
[11:52] <xopher> [Elsa] , just follow the guide, by the letter, it will work just fine
[11:53] <[Elsa] > xopher:i already follow that guide, now i stuck on --> sudo mv install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[11:53] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhu
[11:53] <elementz> can somebody explain to me what kernel headers are and where i can get them?
[11:54] <xopher> [Elsa] , well cd to the directory you've extracted the .tar.gz to, then run the command
[11:54] <aalhamad> how do i know my proccesor speed?
[11:54] <[Elsa] > xophe: ok
[11:54] <aalhamad> how do i know my proccesor speed? --- plzzz hep
[11:54] <[Elsa] > xopher: err..what command to run it?
[11:54] <aalhamad> how do i know my proccesor speed? --- plzzz hep in a command line
[11:55] <xopher> aalhamad, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[11:55] <aalhamad> thanks
[11:55] <Jowi> KuhLii, that module is already included in Edgy. /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw3945
[11:55] <genii> !headers
[11:55] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[11:55] <xopher> [Elsa] , cd /path/to/where/the/targz/is , then extract it, then run the sudo mv ...
[11:56] <KuhLii> Jowi, so it does not work out of the box? you have to install it manually?
[11:56] <aalhamad> im getting  cat /proc/cpuinfo proccesor = 0?? y?
[11:56] <Jowi> KuhLii, try "sudo modprobe ipw3945"
[11:56] <aalhamad> xopher, proccesor = 0 .? y is that?
[11:57] <xopher> aalhamad, weird, somehow your processor isnt recognized?
[11:57] <KuhLii> ok cool
[11:57] <aalhamad> y?
[11:57] <KuhLii> cool thanks, i will give it a go
[11:57] <xopher> aalhamad, this is how it should look: http://pastie.caboo.se/37957
[11:59] <rambo3> http://pastie.caboo.se/37958
[11:59] <genii> aalhamad: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_freq
[11:59] <IamUnique> can ubuntu run windows applications?
[11:59] <rambo3> IamUnique, yes and no
[11:59] <genii> IamUnique: Look into wine or cedega
[11:59] <mojo_> IamUnique: It can uwind WINE, Cedega, or Crossover fice
[11:59] <ardchoille> !wine | IamUnique
[11:59] <ubotu> IamUnique: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:59] <mojo_> *Office
[12:00] <aalhamad> ok thanks i got it..
[12:00] <aalhamad> its in the modle name
[12:00] <aalhamad> model name      : Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+
[12:00] <aalhamad> do i guess its 1.8?
[12:00] <xopher> no
[12:00] <genii> Yup
[12:00] <genii> And no LOL
[12:00] <aalhamad> no then..
[12:01] <aalhamad> ok wait.. let me paste it in a bin
[12:01] <NoEvidenZ> Can I have KDE and GNOME installed, or will they clash with eachother?
[12:01] <ardchoille> NoEvidenZ, Lots of folks run KDE apps in gnome or gnome apps in KDE, they work fine.
[12:01] <aalhamad> http://pastie.caboo.se/37960 its here.
[12:01] <genii> aalhamad: If you have frequency scaling enabled, the command I gave earlier will show the upper speed your cpu can run at: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_freq
[12:02] <aalhamad> i dont have the scaling.
[12:02] <genii> aalhamad: The far left number is the top cpu speed in K
[12:02] <IamUnique> k, thanks
[12:02] <aalhamad> ooh ok..
[12:02] <aalhamad> thanks
[12:02] <dreamer> hmm, I can't open a terminal on my dapper-pc, I have a button on my taskbar with gnome-terminal, and when I press it, nothing happens
[12:03] <NoEvidenZ> ardchoille: No, I mean can I run a KDE desktop and a GNOME desktop, or do I have to have one or the other?
[12:03] <fotoflo> hey all...
[12:03] <ardchoille> NoEvidenZ, You can ahev them both installed, but you will only be able to run one at a time.
[12:04] <rellik> I'm having trouble with vim, and I'm not sure if it from install, or because of the changes I just made (installed ruby language support from the sourceforge project).  when I open vim (a *.rb file or even just vim with no file named), I cannot use the vim commands, like :syntax on or :help.. It says that that command is not available in this version..  how do I fix that?
[12:04] <fotoflo> i have a problem, i need a solution!   i want to set up email forwarding - and i want it so that i can edit the rolls dynamicly and have a stable and fast email forwarding server
[12:04] <genii> aalhamad: According to your paste your cpu is running at MHz : 530.096
[12:04] <mojo_> NoEvidenZ: You can have both installed, and the libraries mean you can run KED (QT) programs in GNOME or GNOME (GTK) programs in KDE.  You can log in to either session thru the graphic display manager login (GDM)
[12:04] <fotoflo> what package/packages should i use?
[12:04] <IdleOne> NoEvidenZ: you can install kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop on the same machine but what I found happens is that the Menus get all mixed up with apps from both kde and gnome
[12:04] <CrashProne> You CAN run both KDE and Gnome taskbars at the same time.. just one of the desktops (background icons).. if you want.  It's just... awkward imo.
[12:04] <genii> But I believe thats your bus speed
[12:05] <CrashProne> Just startup kicker while you're in gnome, and.. well.. :-S ... you can... ... weirdo.
[12:06] <aalhamad> genii, thanks :)
[12:07] <fotoflo> Hello, Does any one know how to setup a mail forwarding server?
[12:08] <fotoflo> what package to use?
[12:09] <Lynoure> hmmm
[12:09] <NoEvidenZ> ardchoille: mojo_: IdleOne: Thanks guys.
[12:09] <IdleOne> Gl3nn: pick a name and stay with it
[12:10] <fotoflo> if I want to setup a mail forwarding server, would i use sendmail and milter, or some other package?
[12:10] <[Elsa] > Hye! may i now how using a terminal to delete a file in /usr/lib/[folder name] /[file name]  ?
[12:10] <mojo_> But IdleOne, Gl3nn is so much more 1337 looking.... ; )
[12:10] <Gl3nn> IdleOne: "This nickname is owned by someone else"
[12:10] <Gl3nn> :)
[12:10] <mojo_> Gl3nn: just playin with you
[12:10] <sh4rm4> hi, how can I get the processID associated with a TCP port ?
[12:11] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , My first reaction is to ask, are you sure you want to do that?
[12:11] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: actually i want to delete manually plugin in folder name mozilla-firefox
[12:12] <fotoflo> elsa: sudo rm path
[12:12] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Did you install it with a pm?
[12:12] <[Elsa] > fotoflo: thanxs
[12:12] <fotoflo> elsa: but
[12:12] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: what do u mean by pm?
[12:12] <[Elsa] > fotoflo: but?
[12:12] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , I feel it is best to let the pm do those things.. if you installed it via the package manager
[12:12] <fotoflo> elsa: dont go ahead and do it unless youre sure....
[12:12] <fotoflo> pm = package manager
[12:13] <sh4rm4> hi, how can I get the processID associated with a TCP port ?
[12:13] <sh4rm4> like netstat ona under XP
[12:13] <fotoflo> netstat?
[12:13] <fotoflo> sh4rm4: netstat
[12:13] <sh4rm4> which cmdline switch
[12:13] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , If you installed the plugin with a paclage manager, it's best to let the package manager uninstall it rather than you manually delete it. Keeps you system clean that way.
[12:13] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: nop.didnt using pm. i follow a step here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash
[12:13] <mojo_> [Elsa] : you might want to read up on BASH (the terminal in ubuntu) before getting too deep with commands.  If you want to delete stuff you'd be better off knowing the syntax and what you are doing a little better
[12:13] <hindley> sh4rm4: -p command line switch is your friend
[12:13] <sh4rm4> thx
[12:13] <hindley> need to be sudo
[12:14] <sh4rm4> yes
[12:14] <IamUnique> is there a way i could try beryl without installing ubuntu like throught live CD?
[12:14] <zzz> mojo_: Bash is not a terminal. It is a shell.
[12:14] <[Elsa] > mojo: i stuck with this tutorial --> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash
[12:14] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Ah, ok, you can use 'sudo rm /path/file' to remove things manually.
[12:14] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: thanxs
[12:14] <mojo_> [Elsa] : be careful with su or sudo commands... they mean super-user or super-user-do  ... i.e. running commands with ROOT priviledges can seriously mess stuff up if you delete the wrong things.
[12:15] <fotoflo> mojo: any idea which package i should use to setup a mailforwarding server?
[12:15] <mojo_> zzz: you are right, technically.  but still [Elsa]  should read a BASH manual
[12:16] <Jowi> IamUnique, the Desktop Cd is both a live CD and a installer.
[12:16] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: by refer on that tutorial page i need to install into a folder name " firefox " but on my machine just only have "mozilla-firefox" after i install it i still can open my browser but i cant open a page with flash, it will close automatically
[12:16] <Jowi> IamUnique, oh, yo usaid Beryl. silly me
[12:16] <GalaZ> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4250/
[12:17] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , I'm afraid I can't help with installing flash. I don't allow flash or video in my browsers.
[12:17] <mojo_> fotoflo: umm, i dunno.  postfix? i have not tried to run my own mail server yet
[12:17] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: that's OK i appreciate ur tips. at least i now how manually to delete that plugin file
[12:17] <Jowi> IamUnique, google helps: http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1410
[12:18] <mojo_> Isn't the newest flash in the resositories now???
[12:18] <hindley> mojo: in feisty, yep
[12:18] <gnomefreak> mojo_: for dapper and edgy they are in the backports repo
[12:18] <mojo_> gnomefreak: okay, that must be how i got them ; )
[12:18] <rjg_> HEllo
[12:18] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Have you looked at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/plugins/   I have a few friends (also newbies) who installed flash in seconds from that page.
[12:20] <mojo_> any music fans here?  what's a really good tag editor for large collections?
[12:20] <IamUnique> ic thanks
[12:20] <rjg_> I have a application called JAckfield that I'd like to build from SVN. It's repository is:
[12:20] <rjg_> http://svn.kryogenix.org/svn/jackfield/trunk and I do have the subversion packages installed....Can someone give me a walk through on how to build it? Including easy commands... And I have tried the tuorials, the confused me
[12:20] <ardchoille> mojo_, I use easytag
[12:20] <ardchoille> !easytag
[12:20] <ubotu> easytag: viewing, editing and writing ID3 tags. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.99.12-1 (edgy), package size 748 kB, installed size 2428 kB
[12:20] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: ic.. sound like no need any command line to install it right? ok now i refer on that page. however may i know something. sudo command only do a command need a super user privillage right?
[12:20] <mojo_> archangelpetro: thans
[12:21] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Right, you only need sudo for commands and files that are not editable by your user.
[12:21] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: thanxs no i get a clear picture what SUDO mean. i'm really appreciate you
[12:22] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , One other bit of advice, never use sudo with a GUI app. sudo is for command line use only. If you need to run a GUI app as root, then use gksu or gksudo.
[12:22] <RickSeymour> Jowi: All working now thanks
[12:22] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , :)
[12:22] <RickSeymour> (compiling a kernel with most modules takes rattther a while on a Via Epia!!)
[12:23] <RickSeymour> Can I drag and drop the config files from POSTFIX on my gentoo server onto my shiny new Ubuntu server?
[12:23] <mojo_> [Elsa] : The way Ubuntu security is set up, the root account (super user) is disabled from login.  Instead, your account is given permission to use the sudo (and su) commands.  that way you have to be EXPLICIT when you want to run a command with superuser priviledges.  And since you have to type your password, nefarious scripts and programs can't just do superuser stuff without your consent.
[12:23] <rjg_> ardchoille: What happens if you yuse normal sudo? I've ben using noral sudo onto GUI apps for ages.
[12:23] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: special advise for newbies that love to study n know more about linux. which one u better me to familiar either using SUDO or with GUI stuff?
[12:24] <ardchoille> rjg_, It's explained here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[12:24] <mojo_> [Elsa] : you can use the command line for all kinds of stuff and never have to use the sudo command.
[12:24] <[Elsa] > mojo: thanxs for ur info. actually is that only Ubuntu come out with this privilage or same to other linux?
[12:24] <Jowi> RickSeymour, took about 20 mins on my 1Ghz C3. luckily if you forget a module or two and have to recompile it is alot quicker :)
[12:24] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , I feel it is vital to learn  and be comfortable in the command line.. but using a GUI app doesn't hurt anything. The command line is powerful and fast, it's a good idea to become familiar with it.
[12:25] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: thanxs for advice
[12:26] <Jowi> [Elsa] , here's a quick start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[12:26] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Most linux distros have normal users and root users. Ubuntu has the root account disabled by default, which is why we use sudo/gksudo
[12:26] <mojo_> [Elsa] : I don't know if it is common for other distros... Some people complain about it but you can really re-enable the root account if you are a confident user and dislike using sudo.
[12:26] <ardchoille> Jowi, God one
[12:26] <ardchoille> *good
[12:26] <[Elsa] > dear pal, right now on my machine my browser is mozilla firefox 1.0.7, is that compatible with flash player 9? which one is better to upgrade flash player first or browser?
[12:27] <mojo_> [Elsa] : in my humble opinion, it is a good idea.  especially considering how many linux newbies are drawn to Ubuntu.
[12:27] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Why are you using 1.0.7? ARe you in Ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10?
[12:27] <[Elsa] > mojo: huhuhu.. really need good advice :)
[12:27] <RickSeymour> Jowi: Indeedy!!! I ran into a couple of snags, there is an option enabled that buried somewhere, as i couldnt seem to get the vanilla kernel to work...
[12:28] <[Elsa] > err.. how i can know a version of my ubuntu? i'm just borrow installer cd from my friend.. i install it than return back that cd
[12:28] <[Elsa] > huhuhhuh
[12:28] <jpjacobs> Where do i find help for things like for while ,... (like in bash its just "help for")
[12:28] <jpjacobs> dam, wrong channal
[12:28] <RickSeymour> Jowi: But all good and running.. actually rather happy compared to gentoo... for server apps anyways... i dont fancy having to compile LAMP on a via epia 800!!!
[12:28] <ardchoille> [Elsa] ,  lsb_release -a | grep Release
[12:28] <mojo_> [Elsa] : go to the SYSTEM menu and select About Ubuntu
[12:28] <ardchoille> [Elsa] ,  or  lsb_release -a
[12:29] <Jowi> RickSeymour, Agree with you on that.
[12:29] <[Elsa] > thanxs mojo, ardchoille is that commadn using terminal to check ubuntu version?
[12:29] <mojo_> archangelpetro: cool.. i didn't know about the lsb_release command
[12:29] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Yes
[12:29] <IamUnique> will ubuntu 7 come with beryl be default?
[12:29] <rjg_> Out of interest, what are peoples favorite ubuntu tweaks/mods and how do you do them?
[12:29] <RickSeymour> Who knows i may even move my desktop over..... we'll see :)
[12:30] <ardchoille> IamUnique, You can ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:30] <IamUnique> k
[12:30] <cafuego_> IamUnique: No, it won't. it uses compiz.
[12:30] <[Elsa] > mojo & ardchoille: i luv to start study using command line/terminal
[12:31] <mojo_> cafuego_: with all the beryl hype, why compiz?  is it just hype then?
[12:31] <ardchoille> rjg_, I personally don't like the default window manager in gnome (Metacity) so one of the first things I do is change the window manager to openbox.
[12:31] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: i got this msg ---> xkarimx@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a | grep release
[12:31] <[Elsa] > xkarimx@ubuntu:~$ lasb_release -a
[12:31] <[Elsa] > bash: lasb_release: command not found
[12:31] <[Elsa] > xkarimx@ubuntu:~$
[12:31] <IamUnique> so does compiz have cool effects?
[12:31] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , It's  lsb  not  lasb
[12:31] <rjg_> cafuego: What if you don't want compiz installed, and want to keep beryl? Will there be a option at upgrade time?
[12:31] <cafuego_> mojo_: have you ever looked at beryl?
[12:31] <mojo_> [Elsa] : yes, the command line in *nix is very powerful.  it is practically a programming language
[12:31] <cafuego_> rjg_: no idea
[12:31] <ubuntu_> Hi guys, i've just made the fatal error of installing windows vista on my dual boot system - this means grub's disappeared and I can't get into my linux partition! Can anyone tell me how to reinstate grub? I'm using linux on a liveCD to speak to you at the moment
[12:32] <cafuego_> rjg_: To be honest, they're both buggy and close to useless.
[12:32] <[Elsa] > mojo: Oic.. Ubuntu really sensitive with *nix issu?
[12:32] <ardchoille> rjg_,  http://www.gnomehelp.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Gnome212.GnomeTutorials
[12:32] <mojo_> cafuego_: i only just got 3d accel working with dual head on ati like a week ago.  i have not messed with it yet but have been plainning to try it out
[12:32] <genii> rjg_ Sometimes I like a very minimalistic machine. so I use wdm for login manager and xfce desktop (xubuntu-desktop) Then I can uninstall most gnome things and get some hd space
[12:33] <[Elsa] > mojo & ardchoille: ok this is my ubuntu ver ----> xkarimx@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a

[12:33] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhu using old version of ubuntu
[12:33] <`ph8> i've had a go at this after googling, but it errors!
[12:33] <mojo_> [Elsa] : i just mean any flavor of a unix like operating systmem, be it linux (ubuntu or other), BSD, or solaris, aix, what have you .  the command line "shell" programs are very powerful compared to rinky-dink ms-dos

[12:33] <`ph8> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[12:33] <Tedd> Basically I can't see scrollbars
[12:33] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Ok, you're on Breezy, that was two releases ago. You might want to download and install Dapper.. it's newer and more stable than Edgy ATM.
[12:33] <Tedd> Because it's over about half an inch
[12:34] <Tedd> Is there any way to fix that
[12:34] <[Elsa] > mojo & ardchoille: thanxs for ur info. i'm really appreciate it
[12:34] <genii> !mbr | ubuntu_
[12:34] <mojo_> [Elsa] : i can't really speak to the command line in windows nt, but i don't think it's nearly as powerful either.
[12:34] <ubotu> ubuntu_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:34] <root___> Hi. How do I write a script to add a user from a file with this format "username" 'tab' "password"
[12:34] <ardchoille> [Elsa] ,  http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[12:35] <ardchoille> root___, Are you on IRC as root user?
[12:35] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: is that Dapper is a name of other version of Ubuntu? Let say in Windows got name WindowsMe /Windows XP so Ubuntu got Breeze n Dapper?
[12:35] <Tedd> My screen is over about half an inch, making it so I can't see most scrollbars
[12:35] <Tedd> Is there a way to fix it?
[12:35] <root___> i have search google and found out to use  the passwd --stdin but --stdin isnt recognize token --stdin... so there is my problem.
[12:35] <root___> ardchoille: yes I am.
[12:35] <`ph8> ty genii
[12:36] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Yes, you can say that. Dapper was released in July of 2006, Breezy was released in 2005.
[12:36] <genii> `ph8: Hello ..someone I know? (guesses matthew or Manataku)
[12:36] <Pntkl> Hello
[12:36] <dead1ock> yo
[12:36] <sith-lord> sup
[12:37] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Actually, the supported versions of Ubuntu that are out right now are Breezy, Dapper and Edgy. Feisty hasn't been released and Breezy will be dropped from the release cycle soon.. AFAIK
[12:37] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: thanxs for u info. i'm start to luv this OS. frankly, my friend said Ubuntu is most friendly linux platform to learn. is that true?
[12:37] <IamUnique>  will fiesty come with xgl and compiz? or is xgl another word for compiz?
[12:38] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: so how bout Edgy? a latest ver for Ubuntu?
[12:38] <KuhLii> hi, i have tried using 'sudo modprobe ipw3945'  to install the intel 3945abg driver, however im getting an error on the ieee80211 saying unknown symbol in module
[12:38] <Dh3Y0> what is QT and how do i get it
[12:38] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , I have used 11 Linux distros and I believe Ubuntu is the best one available. I know an 8 years old who installed it herself and she uses it daily.. Can't get much easier than that :)
[12:38] <KuhLii> which is pointing to ieee80211.ko file
[12:38] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhuhuhuhu
[12:38] <rjg_> ardchoille: I'
[12:39] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , I tried Edgy but there was too much tweaking to do for the way I use a computer. Dapper works best for me, but you should try them and keep the one you like best.
[12:39] <root___> ardchoille: as a 3 year old i used dos from microsoft - couldnt been any better than that...
[12:39] <rjg_> ardchoille: I'm 11, and I keep my ubntu install up..
[12:39] <Dh3Y0> what is QT and how do i get it
[12:39] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: so for a beginner level like me better i try dapper first than Edy?
[12:39] <zzz> KuhLii: Did you just compile and install ieee80211 and ipw3945 modules?
[12:39] <rjg_> and I'm someone who tends to experiment
[12:39] <KuhLii> ummm i tried yes
[12:40] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , I would recommend Dapper.. later you can upgrade to Edgy when you are more comfortable using Linux. Dapper is supported for 3 years.
[12:40] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: i already surf this http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download  ... so is that i have to download then using SUDO again or need to "reinstall" like a fresh copy install?
[12:40] <zzz> KuhLii: First unload ieee80211 and ieee80211_crypt using "sudo rmmod ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt"
[12:40] <nivanson> Dh3Y0: Qt is a toolkit for graphical and non graphical applications. Read more and download it at http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt or with apt.
[12:40] <zzz> KuhLii: Then execute: "sudo modprobe ieee80211"
[12:41] <zzz> KuhLii: Then execute "sudo modprobe ipw3945"
[12:41] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , No need to use sudo to download. Just remember to burn it to CD and an image. Then you can reboot into it and install.
[12:41] <KuhLii> ok
[12:41] <KuhLii> ill give that a go
[12:42] <KuhLii> once iv done that how do i connect to my wireless network... where is the program to do so?
[12:42] <zzz> KuhLii: Are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[12:42] <KuhLii> Ubuntu
[12:42] <[Elsa] > ardchoille: oic.. ok ardchoille i'm really appreciate from what i gain a knowledge about ubuntu today. and also for mojo :* hehehe... may i have a pleasure to read on that page first then after that i come here back to gain more than all of ur guy :)
[12:43] <zzz> KuhLii: Then you should install network-manager-gnome
[12:43] <[Elsa] > thanxs ardchoille & mojo, luv u so much!!!
[12:43] <ardchoille> [Elsa] , Here are some good websites for you: http://ubuntuforums.org
[12:43] <mojo_> [Elsa] : ???
[12:43] <KuhLii> ok, is that included?
[12:43] <ardchoille> [Elsa] ,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/  and  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation
[12:44] <ardchoille> I love it when new people come to use Ubuntu :)
[12:44] <zzz> KuhLii: You can install that program using Synaptic.
[12:45] <mojo_> [Elsa] : I am glad to know you like Ubuntu.  I think you'll find that the community makes the most difference... especially to new users.  It is much friendlier here than I have seen in some other places... though I think Linux users in general are all becoming a little more newbie friendly (which is great)
[12:45] <Shaffox> ardchoille, i'm also new :) 2 days now :)
[12:45] <KuhLii> im guessing that i need to use the installer, however i need a network connection for that....
[12:45] <ardchoille> Shaffox, Awesome! :)
[12:46] <zzz> KuhLii: Take look at Gnome's menu. See if there is a "wireless assistant" like program there.
[12:46] <Shaffox> but i'd like to go on the internet now, but i encounter some problems
[12:46] <ndlovu> when I suspend my laptop, it doesn't wake up again. Any suggestions for getting it working?

[12:55] <dreamer> hmm ok

[12:55] <Kolin5485> hello, is possible to swap eth0<>eth1 during instllation of 6.10? Or can I change it  without problem after install? I need to have eth0 for WAN, eth1 for LAN
[12:55] <mojo_> dreamer: well [Elsa]  is not responding to me anyway...
[12:55] <zzz> Kolin5485: You can try "nameif". Type "man nameif" to get more information about this program.
[12:56] <mena> any idea ...and do you think the reason is the firewall i use on xp
[12:56] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhu
[12:56] <Kolin5485> will try, thanks
[12:56] <fredl> genii, that was not a great success :P
[12:56] <fredl> dang this is confusing as heck
[12:57] <GreyGhost> mena ,what kinda networ do u use?
[12:57] <mena> GrayGhost, i am conected to a network
[12:57] <[Elsa] > Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )
[12:57] <[Elsa] > huhuhuhu
[12:57] <genii> fredl It still wants eth0 as default gateway for example? Or some other one unexpected?
[12:57] <mena> GrayGhost, dsl
[12:58] <GreyGhost> mena ,ahh.. ok .. and the network works under Windows and not under kubuntu ..do i get this right?
[12:58] <genii> fredl If you do ifconfig, do you get a ppp0 device?
[12:58] <fredl> genii, I'm not quite sure, the iptables I already have in place for eth0 (the ADSL interface) are kinda in the way it seems.
[12:58] <mena> GrayGhost, conecting to the internet and also cant open the network the same
[12:58] <mojo_> [Elsa] : try /join #elsa
[12:59] <[Elsa] > ok
[12:59] <fredl> genii, you said when I put eth0 as the last in /etc/iftab then the route for that interface will be used, correct?
[12:59] <mena> GrayGhost, Do you think the firewall is the reason
[12:59] <mojo_> archangelpetro: you rock, by the way
[12:59] <mena> prevent kubuntu fron conect
[12:59] <loca|host> hello all
[12:59] <fredl> genii, nope, I don't get a ppp interface, didn't hook up the modem yet :P
[01:00] <daviey> Hi, anybody here using a non-usb bluetooth adapter????
[01:00] <loca|host> anyone got a good tutorial about installing ubuntu from Lan ?
[01:00] <GreyGhost> mena ,if u mean the XP firewall blocking kubuntu then it is no ..
[01:00] <fredl> I would like the default route a DHCP server gives me to be ignored for now, can that be done?
[01:00] <genii> fredl Yes, but it may also need to be ordered in the same order in /etc/network/interfaces also. As well, if the pppoe client makes a ppp0 device, you may need an old trick for the dialing conf file to make it auto-switch gateways
[01:00] <cinnix> !gparted
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <fredl> genii, not looking at the dialin right now, one thing at a time dude :P
[01:01] <mena> GrayGhost, So what is the problem you think
[01:01] <GreyGhost> mena ,see if u have set up everything right according to first part here .. https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/internet.html ..the router settings..
[01:02] <Imsdle> for the fifth time i have reloaded 6.10.. with 3 differnt disks and 2 differnt downloads... my ubntuu keeps freezing on start but works fine on safe mode...
[01:02] <mena> GrayGhost, okay i am usualu conect to the net witout configuring nay thing after installing
[01:03] <genii> fredl LOL
[01:03] <GreyGhost> mena , linux can sometimes mess up (had previous experiences myslef..)
[01:03] <fredl> genii, you know if it's possible to just discard the default gw that eth2 gives me?
[01:04] <ardchoille> GreyGhost, Not to argue, but Linux only does what the user tells it to do.. garbage in, garbage out.
[01:04] <mojo_> anyone used quod libet?  is it recommended?
[01:04] <mena> GrayGhost, okay
[01:04] <fredl> genii, coz I want to try for now to have all traffic sent to eth0 when the system comes up.
[01:04] <daviey> ardchoille, fsck mess ups?
[01:04] <fredl> genii, but to have eth2 configured anyway.
[01:04] <genii> fredl Well, easiest way would be to add a dummy gateway or defaultrouter entry in the /etc/network/interfaces
[01:04] <mena> GrayGhost, i saved the page and i will see but if i couldnt conect if i did as it in the page
[01:04] <GreyGhost> ardchoille , sure... Windows throws stuff at u without the user knowing ..;)
[01:05] <fredl> genii, hmm...
[01:05] <genii> rather /etc/networking/interfaces   (lots of typing there lol)
[01:05] <GreyGhost> mena ,ok
[01:05] <fredl> no it's /etc/network/interfaces :P
[01:05] <Imsdle> can someone tell me how to get my boot up information back on .. so i can see where it is failing?
[01:06] <genii> fredl If all eth were static you could put a hard gateway of course. But even in dhcp you should still be able to put an entry for it
[01:06] <daviey> Imsdle, boot up, hit the key that grub asks for and select recovery kernel
[01:06] <Imsdle> it boots up fine in recovery
[01:06] <fredl> *nod* well all my external interfaces are DHCP except the one always gives me the same IP address so it appears to be static.
[01:06] <genii> fredl I'm on an XP box atm so the paths are not immediately obvious to doublecheck
[01:07] <daviey> Imsdle, hmm; in the grub settings you need to take out 'splash' then; then the normal kernal will not use the splash screen
[01:07] <daviey> genii, yes they are, through right click on My Computer
[01:08] <genii> daviey That works fine to check local windoze paths, however, to remember exact ubuntu paths for default settings I need to ssh into another machine near here and look
[01:09] <Imsdle> how to i show the stuff that is being loaded.... and see it happen?
[01:09] <Imsdle> i have removed splash
[01:09] <daviey> Imsdle, /boot/grub/menu.1st      Take out 'splash'
[01:09] <ryanakca> which RAID uses 1/n of the total space for backup? that way if one drive fails, it doesn't matter overly, the system still runs?
[01:09] <Imsdle> i did
[01:09] <Imsdle> i just get an annoying little cursor in the top right hand of the scrren
[01:09] <daviey> genii, i see; sorry i thought you meant paths on the windows machine ;)
[01:10] <daviey> Imsdle, maybe it's the resolution
[01:10] <KuhLii> hi
[01:10] <yomm> how do I change the default font size in rxvt term ?
[01:10] <genii> daviey:  :)
[01:10] <Imsdle> ok... it loads up.. and i see the little sheild thing for about 5 seconds.. that disappears.. black screen ... frozen computer
[01:11] <genii> Imsdle: To see the stuff it is getting stuck on replace quiet with verbose
[01:11] <KuhLii> zzz - i tried to remove the modules for the ieee80211 and ieee80211_crypt, however they both returned, does not exit in /proc/modules
[01:11] <genii> Imsdle: Or remove quiet to just get a basic idea like previous versions
[01:12] <Imsdle> thanks genii
[01:12] <genii> Imsdle: np
[01:12] <KuhLii> so then i tried 'sudo modprobe ieee80211'
[01:12] <Valroadie> hmmm
[01:12] <Valroadie> anbody on?
[01:12] <Valroadie> i need help
[01:12] <KuhLii> but returned the same error as before... unknown symbol?
[01:12] <KuhLii> in file ieee80211.ko
[01:12] <daviey> Hi, anybody here using a non-usb bluetooth adapter????
[01:13] <Imsdle> dang!
[01:13] <Imsdle> it was a bios problem dudes
[01:13] <genii> !ask | Valroadie
[01:13] <ubotu> Valroadie: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:13] <Valroadie> haha
[01:13] <Valroadie> ok
[01:13] <daviey> Imsdle, what was the bios doing?
[01:13] <Valroadie> so i have this proble,
[01:13] <Shaffox> can anyone help me to connect my ubuntu to the internet ?
[01:14] <KuhLii> anyone got any ideas?
[01:14] <Valroadie> when i boot the alternate cd
[01:14] <Valroadie> i386
[01:14] <Valroadie> it goes through the whole process
[01:14] <Valroadie> and then, when it gets to the install phase
[01:14] <Valroadie> it stops
[01:14] <genii> KuhLii: This means the module version you are trying to use does not match the kernel version you are running at the moment
[01:14] <Valroadie> and my cd-rom revs up
[01:15] <KuhLii> ummmmm.... ok....
[01:15] <Valroadie> REALLY fast
[01:15] <Valroadie> haha
[01:15] <Valroadie> so, i ran a check test
[01:15] <Valroadie> on the cd
[01:15] <Valroadie> for defects
[01:15] <Imsdle> im using a box with onboard video.. the memory was set to 256mb and the its only a 64
[01:15] <GreyGhost> Valroadie ,did u by anychance erun the defect check
[01:15] <KuhLii> i just installed ubuntu from the iso i downloaded?
[01:15] <GreyGhost> oh k
[01:15] <Valroadie> yes
[01:15] <Valroadie> so i ran it
[01:15] <Valroadie> and it says
[01:15] <Imsdle> damn thing.. spent 3 nights on that!
[01:15] <Imsdle> grrr
[01:15] <bimberi> !enter
[01:15] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:16] <andrei> hey everybody
[01:16] <genii> Imsdle: You can also manually set that in /etc/X11/xor.conf where video device is eg: vesa or ati whatever. Insert a line VideoRam "65536"
[01:16] <GreyGhost> andrei ,hello
[01:16] <Imsdle> o
[01:16] <Imsdle> k
[01:16] <andrei> can u help me ?
[01:16] <Shaffox> still waiting for someone who can help me with connecting to the internet ...
[01:16] <KuhLii> do i need to update the kernel or the module?
[01:16] <GreyGhost> !ask | andrei
[01:16] <ubotu> andrei: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:16] <smart_> Grayghost, thnaks it worked the dns was the reason as i think bec i changed it and it working
[01:16] <smart_> Grayghost, its me mean
[01:16] <cinnix> can I split an existing partition into 2 seperate partitions?
[01:16] <Imsdle> thanks all
[01:16] <smart_> Grayghost, thanks
[01:16] <Valroadie> The ./pool/main/u/upstart/startup-tasks_0.2.7-7_i386.deb file failed the MD5 checksum verification. And i know its not the CD cause its brand new so....any ideas?
[01:16] <Imsdle> have a great night
[01:17] <GreyGhost> smart_ ,np ;)
[01:17] <genii> KuhLii: Was it Feisty distribution?
[01:17] <smart_> ^_^:)
[01:17] <andrei> I want to know the adress frowm where i can download a program like ODC
[01:17] <xhaan> cinnix: how do you mean split?
[01:17] <daviey> Valroadie, can be the download failed
[01:17] <mojo_> cinnix: probably, but i would back up important data first.  i believe that gparted can resize a partition, though it may depend on which format
[01:17] <andrei> pleasee
[01:17] <AnRkey> Valroadie: It's the CD or your drive mate
[01:17] <AnRkey> to a media check on it
[01:17] <fredl> genii - I can edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to not request the routers from the DHCP server :)
[01:17] <AnRkey> do a media check soz
[01:18] <Valroadie> mmm ok, well i will use a diff cd and see if it works.
[01:18] <Valroadie> thanks alot guys
[01:18] <Valroadie> ill be back
[01:18] <daviey> Valroadie, do an md5 check on the iso!
[01:18] <Valroadie> ok
[01:18] <ndee> hello, when I try to start rhythmbox and want to import MP3s, it tells me that the gstreamer-plugin is missing for MP3-files, which plugins do I have to install to get mp3s working?
[01:18] <genii> Valroadie there is a md5 checker for windoze. You can check the iso file you burned the cd from for errors
[01:18] <Valroadie> mmm
[01:18] <ndee> I did install gstreamer0.8-lame
[01:18] <Valroadie> where is that at?
[01:18] <GreyGhost> !mp3 | ndee
[01:18] <ubotu> ndee: 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
[01:18] <Valroadie> mm wait
[01:18] <ScarFreewill> i want to restart something can't remember how when something like /etc/init.d/?
[01:18] <AnRkey> Valroadie: How did you download the iso? Bittorrent or FTP/HTTP?
[01:18] <Valroadie> utorrent
[01:18] <AnRkey> hmm
[01:18] <cinnix> mojo_, xhaan yea well actually I have no partitions, i wanted to install fedora next to redhat, but probably best to backup and  go with clean install
[01:19] <Valroadie> from the ubuntu websit
[01:19] <cinnix> thanks
[01:19] <Valroadie> e
[01:19] <AnRkey> torrents don't normally currupt files
[01:19] <GreyGhost> andrei ,maybe u could describe the program a bit?
[01:19] <Valroadie> thats what i thought
[01:19] <genii> Valroadie http://www.download.com/WinMD5Sum/3000-2381_4-10115916.html
[01:19] <smart_> GrayChost, How can i install kde 3.5.6
[01:19] <gouki> ScarFreewill, it was you said: /etc/init.d/SERVICE restart
[01:19] <AnRkey> Valroadie: check the cd
[01:19] <cinnix> next to ubuntu even
[01:19] <ScarFreewill> gouki: thx
[01:19] <smart_> GrayChost, bec i am on kde 3.5.5
[01:19] <Valroadie> ok i will
[01:19] <KuhLii> genii, i have no idea what that means, i just downloaded the latest CD ISO from the ubuntu website and installed it...
[01:19] <GreyGhost> smart_ ,ur using kubuntu right? then i su[pose an update should do it..
[01:19] <xhaan> cinnix: you can shrink one partition to make room for another but you cant like actually make one into two... thats why i asked :0
[01:20] <smart_> GrayChost, okay
[01:20] <AnRkey> Valroadie: or its the drive not reading the CD properly, also check that the CD is not dirty
[01:20] <AnRkey> Valroadie: good luck
[01:20] <cinnix> xhaan: ok thanks :)
[01:20] <GreyGhost> smart_ ,i dont know where it is in kubuntu .. but it should be under System tools or something "Update" ..
[01:20] <Valroadie> will do thank you AnRkey
[01:20] <fredl> huh...
[01:21] <GreyGhost> ndee , just use the long cammond in the link i gave u and u'll get all the dependencies for mp3 ..
[01:21] <smart_> GrayChost, i have don it befor but he problem i dont have the erpo
[01:21] <smart_> repo*
[01:21] <genii> KuhLii The Feisty dist is the latest/testing  ... the version 6.10 codename Edgy is the latest stable version. If you downloaded the Feisty (or pre 7.04) then it may have some issues like you described. If you got another earlier version it will be some other issue
[01:21] <smart_> GrayChost, but i will get it for #kubuntu
[01:21] <ndee> GreyGhost, ok, thx
[01:22] <KuhLii> its 6.10 the latest table

[01:22] <ndee> GreyGhost, I have gstreamer0.8 installed I think, is that normal for edgy eft?
[01:22] <GreyGhost> smart_ ,yeah .. cos i've never used kubuntu nor kde .. so i cant help much ..
[01:22] <Valroadie> ubuntu_try dling the alternate cd
[01:23] <genii> KuhLii Is the machine able to connect to the internet to install packages with the regular wired connection?
[01:23] <smart_> GrayChos, no problem
[01:23] <GreyGhost> ndee ,i think it is ... but wont hurt updating will it? ;)
[01:23] <KuhLii> i  have not tried...
[01:23] <ndee> GreyGhost, nope :D
[01:23] <ubuntu_> trying to install from live cd  i chose no localization  and the installer seems to be hung?    not doing anything that i can tell.   anyone?

[01:24] <ubuntu_> Valroadie: i don't have three weeks i want to waste dl'ing
[01:24] <Valroadie> haha
[01:24] <Valroadie> it wont take three weeks
[01:24] <Valroadie> unless
[01:25] <Valroadie> you have a 56k modem...lol.
[01:25] <daviey> your on dialup?
[01:25] <ardchoille> ubuntu_, You on dial-up?
[01:25] <ndee> GreyGhost, do I have to restart X to get the newest gstreamer plugin running?
[01:25] <ubuntu_> yes daviey
[01:25] <GreyGhost> ndee ,nope.. i didnt ..when i installed..
[01:25] <fredl_> that was freaky...
[01:25] <ubuntu_> any other ideas ?
[01:26] <ndee> GreyGhost, now it works, thx :D
[01:26] <GreyGhost> ubuntu_ ,u can use the minimal ubuntu cd.. someone showed it to me yestersday ... but that would mean u'd have to dl all the other packages like GUI etc later...
[01:26] <GreyGhost> ndee ,np ;)
[01:26] <daviey> GreyGhost ubuntu_ , but you could use the cd as a repo
[01:26] <ubuntu_> GreyGhost: you have a url to that cd ?
[01:27] <GreyGhost> daviey , ubuntu_ ,yes daviey has a good point..
[01:27] <GreyGhost>  ubuntu_ ,one sec.. let me find it. ..i've never used it ..so will need to search for it..
[01:28] <ubuntu_> ok.
[01:28] <daviey> GreyGhost, Is this based on debian netinstall??
[01:29] <GreyGhost> ubuntu_ ,daviey, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD  another guy showed it to me just yesterday ..so i havent ever tried it myself...
[01:30] <GreyGhost> ony 8.5 mbs ..
[01:30] <GreyGhost> cya all.. i'm pretty late already ..
[01:31] <ubuntu_> ok thank you.
[01:31] <GreyGhost> ubuntu_ ,np .. hope it works ...
[01:34] <Perryman> dapper drake is running much better so far
[01:34] <Perryman> i did notice one problem with drake and edgy though
[01:34] <Perryman> i have a SATA dvd combo drive
[01:35] <Perryman> when I remove the drive from my computer i don't get any ATA errors
[01:35] <Perryman> is this a known issue?
[01:36] <fredl_> man this is fubar... when I put interface "eth0" { request ...; } interface "eth2" { request ....;} in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[01:36] <fredl_> and then ifup eth0
[01:36] <fredl_> then both eth0 and eth2 get up'ed
[01:38] <zyth> wtf
[01:38] <zyth> I can't close frostwire.  I even killed the process.  Yet it runs
[01:38] <zyth> this is creepy
[01:39] <Perryman> some processes wont restart
[01:39] <Perryman> er kill
[01:39] <Perryman> have you done sudo kill -9 ?
[01:39] <zyth> its not in the list anymore
[01:39] <zyth> when I run ps x
[01:39] <Perryman> odd
[01:39] <zyth> very
[01:39] <Perryman> how about ps ax
[01:40] <zyth> all I see that *might* be it is
[01:40] <zyth> 18210 ?        Sl     1:47 java -ea -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.co
[01:41] <zyth> but I have azureus running too.
[01:41] <[Elsa] > yo my friends, got a question about installing firefox 2.0 after i read from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion  where that page told me "extract the tar file into /opt (you should make sure /opt already exists)" so how to make sure /opt already exits?
[01:41] <Perryman> i dunno what frostwire is so
[01:41] <Perryman> anyhow you could always restart
[01:41] <zyth> java app.
[01:41] <zyth> yeah, didn't want to but may have to
[01:41] <Perryman> ive had quite a few processes hang on me
[01:41] <Perryman> are you running edgy?
[01:41] <zyth> yep
[01:41] <Perryman> i just downgraded to dapper
[01:41] <Perryman> edgy is a bit edgy
[01:41] <zyth> lol
[01:41] <zyth> well, its only current 'till April ;)
[01:41] <Perryman> i would run software update
[01:42] <zyth> *nod*
[01:42] <Perryman> it'd crash while configuring mono
[01:42] <Perryman> or some random thing
[01:42] <zyth> weird.
[01:42] <Perryman> firefox would hang and not be killed
[01:42] <Perryman> randomly
[01:42] <zyth> thats odd.
[01:42] <zyth> well im gonna reboot
[01:42] <zyth> back soon
[01:43] <Perryman> ive had 1 crash so far, but it feels much more stable than edgy
[01:44] <mojo_> Perryman: frostwire is an open-source off-shoot of LimeWire.  Both are peer-to-peer file sharing programs that use the Gnutella network.  FrostWire now also supports Bittorrent.  It is a cross-platform program written in Java.
[01:45] <Perryman> ah
[01:45] <Perryman> i use azureus
[01:45] <mojo_> Perryman: Frostwire is even faster than LimeWire Pro, I hear.
[01:45] <Perryman> hrm
[01:45] <Perryman> interesting
[01:45] <zyth> well the reboot fixed it ;)
[01:45] <Perryman> ever heard of any problems with SATA cd drives?
[01:45] <Perryman> cd/dvd
[01:45] <zyth> they have SATA cd drives?
[01:45] <Perryman> yep
[01:46] <Perryman> 2nd person to say that to me today
[01:46] <zyth> didn't even know that.
[01:46] <zyth> lol
[01:46] <mojo_> Perryman: azureus is good for bittorrent.. i use it too.  But bittorrent is best for VERY LARGE files like movies and cd images (iso's) and such.  P2P programs like FrostWire are MUCH better for small files, like individual MP3 files and such.
[01:46] <Perryman> mojo_: i have about 800 GB total
[01:46] <Perryman> and about 500 in use
[01:46] <Perryman> about 350 to 400 is torrent
[01:47] <mojo_> Perryman: it is not about how much space you have.  it is about the files.  Large files transmit better with something like bittorrent.
[01:47] <Perryman> i typically get something 700mb or larger
[01:47] <Perryman> or usually episodes of the latest tv show in hd at 400 or so mb with 4000 seeders
[01:48] <mojo_> Perryman: the thing is, you won't find lots of small single songs and such on the bittorent tracker sites.  But something like frostwire will connect you to the shared music of hundreds or thousands of people and let you pick single songs to download at a time
[01:48] <Perryman> hm
[01:48] <mojo_> Perryman: if you want movies and TV episodes, you will want to stay with bittorrent for that and find a good tracker with an RSS feed.  That is my suggestion.
[01:48] <Perryman> i'll probably get it next time i want some obscure music
[01:48] <genii> Shouldn't sudo apt-get -f install linux-image-$(uname -r)                refresh your modules to the right kernel version tags?
[01:48] <Perryman> oh, i'm pretty happy with what i've got :)
[01:49] <Perryman> i'm all set in windows xp
[01:49] <Perryman> but i figure some ubuntu dapper time will do me good
[01:49] <Perryman> i havent played since redhat a few years back
[01:49] <Perryman> and now i have the time and resources to learn
[01:50] <Perryman> heck, i'd have installed os x if it was free :)
[01:50] <genii> Perryman: ubuntu is a nice distribution to learn on. the package system is comprehensive and the user support is quite extensive between the forums,wiki and irc
[01:50] <Perryman> yeah, i've been exploiting that recently
[01:51] <Perryman> hopefully as my knowledge expands i can reciprocate a bit here
[01:55] <gharz> guys, recently, whenever i boot my ubuntu, i'm getting this message =>>> ubuntu 6.06 has been installed 31 times without being checked... force check... what does it mean? how do i check my ubuntu regularly?
[01:55] <loca|host> how to restore grub after a windows install ?
[01:55] <Perryman> !ext3
[01:55] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[01:56] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell loca|host about grub | loca|host, see the private message from ubotu.
[01:56] <visik7> !winmodem
[01:56] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[01:56] <loca|host> HymnToLife, thanks yo
[01:56] <Perryman> !e2fsck
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about e2fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:56] <francois> anyone have an idea where i can find out how to install a webcam ?
[01:57] <francois> !webcam
[01:57] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[01:57] <HymnToLife> !fishing | Perryman
[01:57] <ubotu> Perryman: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[01:57] <Perryman> gharz: its basically just a verification check on the partition if there was a problem
[01:57] <gharz> Perryman, thanks!
[01:57] <Perryman> yep, and sorry HymnToLife :)
[01:59] <gharz> guys, i'm currently connected to our Windows network and one of the client workstation has a shared folder with a $ sign (meaning a hidden shared folder)... i'm using nautilus... how do i access it? i can't see any address bar where i can type the exact address.
[01:59] <genii> visik7 What type of winmodem do you have? There are some binary packages for intel537 and lucent for instance
[01:59] <Lunar_Lamp> gharz, hit "ctrl+L"
[02:00] <visik7> genii: actually I don't know scanModem tell me that I should use slmodem or intel
[02:00] <gharz> Lunar_Lamp, thanks!!! i'll try... i didn't think about it. silly me.
[02:00] <genii> visik please report the result of the coomand:   lspci |grep Intel|grep modem
[02:01] <visik7> genii: nothing
[02:01] <genii> visik OK, then just lspci |grep Intel
[02:01] <archangelpetro> mojo_, ?
[02:01] <HymnToLife> visik7, sent your modemData.txt to the linmodems.org mailing lists and nice volunteers will tell you what you need to do
[02:01] <visik7> !pastebin
[02:01] <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)
[02:02] <HymnToLife> send*
[02:02] <visik7> oh ok
[02:02] <visik7> btw here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4275/
[02:02] <genii> If no Intel + modem on pci then likely some conexant chipset
[02:03] <visik7> I think it's integrated on the audio card
[02:03] <visik7> at least scanModem seems to say this
[02:04] <petepete> how do i view all the members of a particular group (in command line) ?
[02:04] <HymnToLife> petepete, cat /etc/group | grep group_name
[02:04] <petepete> thanks :)
[02:04] <pirast> as openoffice.org-style-industrial is being shipped with ubuntu, how can i enable the industrial symbols?
[02:04] <genii> visik7 Ah, may be some composite type voice-modem or so then
[02:05] <genii> visik7 Please see if if lspci|grep modem has any result, the chipset may not be reporting as intel but some other but saying a modem
[02:05] <mojo_> archangelpetro: sry i am here
[02:06] <mojo_> archangelpetro: whassup?
[02:06] <visik7> genii: no nothing about modem or communication or anything
[02:06] <vernes> I'm writing an app in which I wish to use scalable fonts, however, Ubuntu only offers the default size fo the scalable font. How do I use a scalable (ttf) font in an alternative size?
[02:06] <archangelpetro> mojo_, did you want me before?
[02:06] <genii> visik7 Then I would say to hear back from the winmodem ppl
[02:07] <ShankarGanesh> *is beryl available for windows?*
[02:07] <visik7> ShankarGanesh: ahahaha no
[02:07] <ardchoille> Hmm.. it looks like Compiz/Beryl won't be included in Feisty.
[02:07] <mojo_> oh, no... i was just giving you kudos for being so helpful to folks earlier
[02:07] <archangelpetro> when was i being helpful?
[02:07] <francois> why would they include beryl in feisty ?
[02:08] <burepe> What is the easiest language and way to make a linux program
[02:08] <mojo_> i dont' remember, lol... a while ago.. i think [Elsa]  was the target of your help
[02:08] <cypher1> does vbscript work in ubuntu ?
[02:08] <francois> i heard cygwin can do it,
[02:08] <genii> burepe bash
[02:08] <ardchoille> archangelpetro, He was talking about me, he got bit by tab completion
[02:08] <HymnToLife> burepe, python
[02:08] <elkbuntu> ardchoille, considering both are still very much alpha.. im not surprised
[02:08] <archangelpetro> lol, i keep getting bitten by that :)
[02:08] <ardchoille> elkbuntu, True
[02:08] <ardchoille> archangelpetro, So do I
[02:08] <archangelpetro> well, ardchoille well done for being so helpfull :)
[02:08] <mojo_> ardchoille: yes, you are correct.  tab completion
[02:08] <archangelpetro> hehe
[02:08] <genii> francois Really? That would be interesting!
[02:08] <burepe> genii bash is command line only right?
[02:08] <ardchoille> mojo_, Glad to help :)
[02:08] <archangelpetro> and mojo_ :) thank you for being so kind (even if misdirected) heheh :P
[02:08] <elkbuntu> ardchoille, also, driver manufactureres need to gwtp first
[02:09] <burepe> HymnToLife: how would I go about making a python program? Where do I start?
[02:09] <francois> genii: yeah, i heard its doable, but not recommended, and it needs tweaking i think
[02:09] <ardchoille> elkbuntu, You can say that again
[02:09] <genii> burepe It is a series of text commands you can either type in on the command line or store in a file and then execute
[02:09] <francois> burepe: have you programmed before ?
[02:09] <burepe> no
[02:09] <burepe> not at all
[02:10] <AzMoo_> burepe, http://docs.python.org/tut/
[02:10] <genii> Then start with shell scripting
[02:10] <francois> burepe: start easy, maybe not python
[02:10] <AzMoo_> Python's easy.
[02:10] <Pistahh> hello
[02:10] <burepe> what should I start with?
[02:10] <francois> AzMoo_: for a starting prog lang ?
[02:10] <Pistahh> if i install a new hard disk into my computer, how do I partition&mount it in the GUI?
[02:10] <HymnToLife> francois, you know anything easier than Python ?
[02:10] <AzMoo_> francois, no harder than anything else.
[02:10] <francois> HymnToLife: java ? lol
[02:10] <AzMoo_> hah
[02:11] <archangelpetro> java is easy
[02:11] <archangelpetro> :)
[02:11] <archangelpetro> best starting language imo
[02:11] <genii> Well, learning java actually gives you an idea of C so it's not a bad thing to learn
[02:11] <francois> mine too
[02:11] <archangelpetro> indeed
[02:11] <vernes> Who here uses True Type Fonts in their application? I wish to know how to access alternative sizes instead of the name--0-0-0-0-p-0 version.
[02:11] <siikah> When beginning programming I'm all for starting with something that you actually can have some use of. Go for python! I began with php :)
[02:11] <francois> and cross platform
[02:12] <francois> so back to burepe, maybe python, but don't start with a big project, becaues you'll learn on the way
[02:12] <genii> burepe If you wish to program for web applications learn something like java or PHP, if you wish to do apps for the local computer java or shell scripting is a good place to start
[02:12] <zyth> pascal!
[02:12] <zyth> ;)
[02:13] <francois> gross
[02:13] <AzMoo> fortran!
[02:13] <francois> :)
[02:13] <siikah> asm.. :o
[02:13] <francois> binary !
[02:13] <HymnToLife> assembly ftw :p
[02:13] <zyth> back in the day :)
[02:13] <genii> bleh next we'll all be going back to loathsome COBOL
[02:13] <zyth> I programmed my first assembler in pascal.
[02:13] <francois> 01001001110001100
[02:13] <zyth> hehe
[02:13] <genii> windoze was originally done in pascal actually
[02:13] <vernes> Who uses TTF in his app?
[02:13] <HymnToLife> hmm, now that I think about it
[02:13] <HymnToLife> isn't that kind of !offtopic ?
[02:14] <zyth> nah, there's pascal packages for ubuntu
[02:14] <zyth> ;)
[02:14] <genii> !info pascal
[02:14] <francois> hahaha
[02:14] <ubotu> Package pascal does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[02:14] <zyth> !info freepascal
[02:14] <francois> ok ok, anyone actually need help in here ?
[02:14] <ubotu> Package freepascal does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[02:14] <zyth> hmm
[02:14] <zyth> I am sure it DOES
[02:14] <vernes> francois, yes
[02:14] <zyth> sec.
[02:14] <visik7> genii: ok I've compiled both 536 and 537 , none of them can be loaded so it's not an intel modem, now I try smarklink
[02:14] <visik7> :)
[02:14] <francois> vernes: go head, lets see if we can help
[02:14] <Seveas> !fpc | genii, zyth
[02:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fpc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:15] <Seveas> hmm
[02:15] <Seveas> !find fpc
[02:15] <vernes> francois:  I'm writing an app in which I wish to use scalable fonts, however, Ubuntu only offers the default size fo the scalable font. How do I use a scalable (ttf) font in an alternative size?
[02:15] <genii> visik7 Heh :) Persistent
[02:15] <ubotu> File fpc found in fp-compiler, fp-units-base, fp-units-db, fp-units-fcl, fp-units-fv (and 9 others)
[02:15] <AzMoo> visik7, what does lspci tell you?
[02:15] <zyth> yep there it is
[02:15] <visik7> AzMoo: nothing relevant
[02:15] <Pntkl> Hi
[02:15] <francois> vernes: gimme a sec, i'll search it
[02:15] <sith-lord> sup?
[02:16] <AzMoo> visik7, onboard modem?
[02:16] <visik7> AzMoo: yes on my lapyop
[02:16] <visik7> laptop
[02:16] <ardchoille> zyth, Is it the fp-compiler you're talking about?
[02:16] <AzMoo> visik7, is it enabled in bios? If it's onboard then lspci should have something about it.
[02:16] <zyth> ardchoille, yes, it is
[02:16] <visik7> AzMoo: yes it is
[02:16] <genii> AzMoo lspci reports nothing saying it's a modem but apparently scanmodem tells him it's attached to some intel audio controller
[02:18] <AzMoo> That's an odd one, isn't it?
[02:18] <visik7> ok this is the output of scanModem
[02:18] <visik7> http://paste.plone.org/12788
[02:18] <francois> vernes: so you're just looking to use ttf fonts ?
[02:19] <yomm> How do I remove something that I installed with make & make install ?
[02:19] <vernes> yes, but I only get offered the 0-0-0-0-p-0 version of the font
[02:19] <visik7> yomm: if you are lucky make uninstall otherwise there isn't an easy way
[02:19] <ardchoille> yomm, Lots of times you can use 'make uninstall'
[02:19] <yomm> ok i c ! :) I'll give that a try ! thx
[02:20] <battlesqu1d> i'm setting up a server and need to choose between dapper and edgy. i have heard that in general it is recommended to use a stable version for servers, is edgy stable enough?
[02:20] <loca|host> hi all, i'm facing a strange problem, i've lost my grub after windows install, so booted on a Kubuntu LiveCD, and in the way of restoring my grub, i've mounted my /dev/sda3 (SATA disk) wich is my old / mount point, i get it mounted but when i list the mounted folder, all folders are marked like this : ?---------- ? ?     ?           ?                          ? mymountpoint/root
[02:20] <genii> Likely some controllerless HCF thing
[02:20] <vernes> francois: yes, but I only get offered the 0-0-0-0-p-0 version of the font ( repeated responce because of scroll speed )
[02:20] <francois> vernes: did you install the msttcorefonts ? are those what you're looking for ?
[02:20] <yomm> I"m trying to compile metisse , but it's not cooperating ;)
[02:20] <AzMoo> visik7, So what's lspci tell you is at the Bus ID 00:1b.0
[02:20] <visik7> AzMoo: audio card
[02:21] <visik7> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[02:21] <vernes> francois: msttcorefonts? how do I find out? it's an package in my package manager? or a list of fonts?
[02:21] <genii> visik7 Please pastebin ModemData.txt
[02:21] <francois> vernes: simply do : sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[02:22] <francois> vernes: those are all of the windows ttf fonts,
[02:23] <visik7> genii: here it is http://paste.plone.org/12789
[02:23] <vernes> francois: these are fonts, but does it also add support for it? I can add ttf's and aad them to my app. The trick is to get them displayed in a size I want.
[02:23] <rockzman> Can someone help me to compile something
[02:23] <ardchoille> rockzman, What are you compiling?
[02:23] <battlesqu1d> i'm setting up a server and need to choose between dapper and edgy. i have heard that in general it is recommended to use a stable version for servers, is edgy stable enough?
[02:23] <rockzman> ardchoille, an usb driver
[02:23] <rockzman> ardchoille, make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.20-5-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[02:23] <rockzman> rt2570.ko failed to build!
[02:24] <francois> vernes: i'm not sure i can help you there, but i'll keep searching
[02:24] <HymnToLife> battlesqu1d, edgy is stable
[02:24] <francois> battlesqu1d: edgy is quite stable
[02:24] <ardchoille> rockzman, 2.6.20???
[02:24] <vernes> Thanks
[02:24] <rockzman> i get this error but i have this directory
[02:24] <francois> battlesqu1d: most of everyone is running edgy
[02:24] <battlesqu1d> francois, ok, so u will recommend i upgrade+
[02:24] <battlesqu1d> ?
[02:25] <rockzman> 2.6.12-10-386  2.6.15-27-386  2.6.20-5-386
[02:25] <rockzman> 2.6.12-9-386   2.6.17-10-386  2.6.20-5-generic
[02:25] <rockzman> fr3ak@fr3ak:/lib/modules$
[02:25] <rockzman> ardchoille, look your pm
[02:25] <rockzman> how can i organize this folders
[02:25] <battlesqu1d> HymnToLife, so you recommend i upgrade then?
[02:25] <siikah> battlesqu1d, depends on what the server is for... webserver/php/mysql you probably want edgy
[02:25] <HymnToLife> battlesqu1d, no
[02:25] <battlesqu1d> siikah, yeah that's just what i'm using it for
[02:25] <ardchoille> rockzman, I don't know much about kernel modules.
[02:25] <HymnToLife> if it's running Dapper, it's fine
[02:25] <HymnToLife> don't bother upgrading
[02:25] <battlesqu1d> HymnToLife, why not?
[02:26] <HymnToLife> battlesqu1d, the question is "why upgrade" :p
[02:26] <genii> visik7 Have you tried to setup some ppp connection using /dev/modem as the device?
[02:26] <rockzman> ardchoille, do you know why so many directories on my modules folder shouldnt i have only one?
[02:26] <HymnToLife> golden rule : if it works, do't touch it
[02:26] <ardchoille> What kernel is the current for Edgy?
[02:26] <visik7> genii: yes it doesn't work
[02:26] <battlesqu1d> HymnToLife, yeah well, i need f.ex vim 7.0 and it was a lot of work to backport it.. so i guess would rather upgrade..got edgy at home and love it
[02:26] <francois> battlesqu1d: yeah if you have dapper don't touch it
[02:26] <mytruehero> For some reason, I can't get my computer to boot the Ubuntu CD. Is there any other way that I can install Ubuntu on that machine?
[02:26] <Pici> ardchoille: 2.6.17-10
[02:27] <visik7> genii: btw on the ml pasting my vendor and product id they saying that is supported by hcf driver
[02:27] <francois> mytruehero: did you check the bios boot order ?
[02:27] <ardchoille> Pici, Thank you
[02:27] <HymnToLife> battlesqu1d, then upgrade, if you think you have a good enough reason for it
[02:27] <siikah> if the server is supposed to run in a closet 100km from where you live, then stable is probably wise. if you have easy access to it edgy is for you :). didn't actually know anyone used ubuntu as a server.
[02:27] <mytruehero> francois: Yes; it says that the Ubuntu CD is "not a bootable device"
[02:27] <visik7> genii: http://archives.linmodems.org/23386
[02:27] <pbureau> Morning to all
[02:27] <mdeboer> mytruehero: do you have windows installed on that machine?
[02:27] <battlesqu1d> francois, just upgraded from badger to dapper, so why not to edgy...
[02:27] <mytruehero> mdeboer: Yes.
[02:27] <genii> visik7 Yeah I figured some HCF controllerless chip.
[02:27] <visik7> sorry HSF
[02:27] <francois> battlesqu1d: if you've done it, then you know how easy it is :)
[02:28] <mdeboer> mytruehero: i read something about being able to install ubuntu from windows, but i have no idea if it is still experimental
[02:28] <francois> mytruehero: does the cd load in windows ? do apps show up ?
[02:28] <uzr> hello, what dir ubuntu uses to run commands upon boot ?
[02:28] <IdleOne> mytruehero: make sure that when burning you chose " burn image" and not burn data
[02:28] <ardchoille> What is the latest stable kernel out right now?
[02:28] <ardchoille> 2.6.18?
[02:28] <HymnToLife> ardchoille, 2.6.20
[02:28] <mytruehero> IdleOne: The CD is valid. I am running Ubuntu on this machine, which I installed from the very same CD.
[02:28] <ardchoille> HymnToLife, Ah, ok
[02:28] <uzr> hello, wich file ubuntu uses to run commands upon boot ?
[02:28] <jackycxh> ardchoille: 2.6.19
[02:28] <rockzman> can someone help me with my kernel
[02:28] <rockzman> ?
[02:29] <jackycxh> rockzman: ?
[02:29] <ardchoille> jackycxh, odd numbered kernels aren't stable, AFAIK
[02:29] <mytruehero> mdeboer: Do you mean this? http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/about-the-ubuntu-installer-for-windows/ It looks like that will install Ubuntu on my Windows partition. Not really what I'm after.
[02:29] <burepe> Can some one give me some direction on getting a program started here are the details http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2108880#post2108880
[02:29] <jackycxh> ardchoille: really?
[02:29] <Wesleysld> Test,
[02:29] <visik7> genii: do I have to pay for Hsf modem driver ?
[02:29] <siikah> uzr, please don't spam. take a look at /etc/rc?.d
[02:29] <mdeboer> mytruehero: uhm yes, that's it.
[02:29] <rockzman> jackycxh, i got more than 4 folders on my lib modules folder why is that?
[02:29] <ardchoille> jackycxh, even = stable, odd = devel
[02:29] <mytruehero> francois: Yes. When browsing the CD in Windows, I can run the start.exe program fine.
[02:30] <francois> mytruehero: you can try to get madboot, and get it to boot from your cd, if you can, maybe its just a bios thing, or maybe your drive isn't functioning
[02:30] <ardchoille> rockzman, I"m wondering how you got a 2.6.20 kernel on Edgy. Did you build that yourself?
[02:30] <jackycxh> rockzman: have you install 4 versions of kernel early?
[02:30] <mytruehero> francois: It may be a BIOS thing. When I built this computer, I made the mistake of cheaping on the motherboard.
[02:30] <jackycxh> ardchoille: Thanks.
[02:30] <genii> visik7 do sudo apt-get-linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) then see if modprobe -l *hsf*   shows a result
[02:30] <rockzman> jackycxh, no i just installed all available updates
[02:31] <rockzman> 2.6.12-10-386  2.6.15-27-386  2.6.20-5-386
[02:31] <rockzman> 2.6.12-9-386   2.6.17-10-386  2.6.20-5-generic
[02:31] <visik7> genii: no nothing about hsf
[02:31] <rockzman> i have all of this folders on my lib/modules
[02:31] <francois> mytruehero: ah, ok well go to madboot.com and try their utility, and then boot from floopy and choose boot from cd
[02:31] <jackycxh> rockzman: That's right, the update should install the newer kernel module for you.
[02:31] <mytruehero> francois: Floppy? What's that? ;)
[02:31] <rockzman> jackycxh, now i try to compile a usb module for my wireless usb adapter
[02:31] <rockzman> and it says
[02:32] <francois> jackycxh: i think he's got the 686 image, but installed the 386 also, i did that many times
[02:32] <francois> mytruehero: no floopy ? lol
[02:32] <AzMoo> mytruehero, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation Check advanced.
[02:32] <rockzman> jackycxh, make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.20-5-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[02:32] <rockzman> rt2570.ko failed to build!
[02:32] <AzMoo> mytruehero, heaps of options.
[02:32] <AzMoo> rockzman, got the right permissions?
[02:32] <HymnToLife> rockzman, kernel headers installed ?
[02:32] <ardchoille> jackycxh, francois How did he get the 2.6.20 kernel on Edgy?
[02:32] <rockzman> yes i got that is not about permissions is about the directory is not found
[02:33] <rockzman> HymnToLife, how to know that
[02:33] <francois> no idea
[02:33] <HymnToLife> rockzman, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

[02:35] <XDy> does anyone know how to find the busid to a pci/agp video card
[02:36] <jackycxh> XDy: lspci
[02:37] <francois> XDy: you can also use kinfocenter
[02:38] <visik7> genii: nothing to do also hsf says Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot
[02:38] <XDy> thx guys
[02:38] <visik7> obviously I've rebooted
[02:38] <AzMoo> visik7, what laptop do you have?
[02:38] <visik7> AzMoo: Asus v6j
[02:39] <genii> visik7 does device ttySL0 exist?
[02:39] <visik7> no
[02:41] <compengi> if there are 2 users on ubuntu machine one is root and the other is ordinary user, can the ordinary user browse to the home directory or the root one?
[02:41] <NoEvidenZ> I've successfully broken my Ubuntu installation again. Now now, save the congratulations until later. I need to know how to fix it. I put beryl-manager in the Sessions thingy from the menu. How do I remove it from a tty, as in, without logging into the GUI.
[02:42] <genii> visik7 According to your scanmodem output, /dev/modem is a symlink to that. But it needs the right module of course loaded to create it first before it becomes useful
[02:42] <vernes> francois: package "freetype1-tools" has a util named "ttf2bdf". It lets you generate static sized fonts from ttf's. I now can use True Type Fonts by changing em.
[02:42] <genii> compengi: No. Not unless they use sudo
[02:42] <incorrect> hi, i was wondering if evolution in ubuntu 6.10 had ldap support,  i see stubs for it, but no implementation
[02:42] <visik7> ok SL is smarklink ? so I need to compile smart link module right ?
[02:43] <HymnToLife> visik7, no, there are precompiled binaries of it available
[02:43] <HymnToLife> and an ubuntu package too
[02:43] <anandanbu> hi i need help in installing mp3 plugins for amarok
[02:43] <visik7> where ?
[02:43] <HymnToLife> !find sl-modem

[02:43] <visik7> exactly only daemon and source
[02:44] <HymnToLife> visik7, you'll need only the daemon
[02:44] <visik7> genii: no there isn'0t any sl module around here
[02:44] <visik7> I've restricted enabled
[02:44] <francois> vernes: haha yes ?
[02:44] <vernes> francois: package "freetype1-tools" has a util named "ttf2bdf". It lets you generate static sized fonts from ttf's. I now can use True Type Fonts by changing em.
[02:44] <visik7> HymnToLife: the daemon without a kernel module ?
[02:44] <genii> compengi Any users who cannot normally do cd..  up beyond their home directory root will not be able to see anything outside of that
[02:44] <riaal> where do I check my ip config in terminal?
[02:44] <francois> vernes: ah ! i remember seeing those, damnit, should of thought of it
[02:45] <HymnToLife> visik7, it should load the kernel module too
[02:45] <fatbrain> !rpm
[02:45] <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)
[02:45] <HymnToLife> at least that's what it did on mine, but it was a while ago
[02:45] <visik7> HymnToLife: sl-modem-daemon descrition says that I need an alsa module for the modem or the sl module
[02:45] <richie__> hello
[02:45] <HymnToLife> yes
[02:45] <HymnToLife> it will load the correct alsa module
[02:45] <richie__> I have a little question!
[02:46] <AzMoo> richie__, then ask it!
[02:46] <anandanbu> how do i install realplayer in ubuntu 6.10
[02:46] <genii> riaal do ifconfig
[02:46] <visik7> HymnToLife: installing it I got:
[02:46] <visik7> FATAL: Module ungrab_winmodem not found.
[02:46] <visik7> FATAL: Module slamr not found.
[02:46] <riaal> genii, of corse, thanks
[02:46] <richie__> thanks. i forced in synaptics a special version of a package. now i want to undo this forcing.
[02:47] <HymnToLife> visik7, did you send your modemData.txt to the linmodems.org mailing-list as I told you ?
[02:47] <HymnToLife> they'll help better than us
[02:47] <richie__> how can i make this?
[02:47] <compengi> genii, so no need for setting any permissions to the home directory and for the user, right?
[02:47] <XDy> werd
[02:47] <visik7> HymnToLife: do I need to subscribe to send modemData.txt ?
[02:47] <XDy> can anyone help me set up these dual monitors
[02:47] <XDy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4277/
[02:47] <francois> anandanbu: sudo apt-get install realplay
[02:48] <genii> compengi No, when you did adduser or whatever, it made their home directory recursively theirs. But they cannot cd or write anywhere else in the filesystem unless they have sudo privelege
[02:48] <HymnToLife> visik7, yes
[02:49] <compengi> genii, okay thanks alot
[02:49] <genii> compengi np
[02:49] <richie__> my problem is: apt don't wanne upgrade this package. becouse i forced the installed version.
[02:50] <francois> richie__: how did you force it again ?
[02:50] <Jowi> richie__, so remove it. "sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename"
[02:50] <tom47>  richie have you tried completely uninstalling it and then installing the version you want?
[02:50] <richie__> --purge?
[02:50] <richie__> thanks
[02:50] <MKDE> hi, how to add plugins to kaffeine? (wmv mpg)?
[02:50] <francois> richie__: purge removes all the files on the system
[02:50] <XDy> what was the other command to view BusID again?
[02:50] <richie__> ah
[02:50] <richie__> great
[02:50] <XDy> kinfo something
[02:51] <francois> lspci
[02:51] <francois> or kinfocenter
[02:51] <richie__> its the beryl package
[02:51] <XDy> ty
[02:51] <AzMoo> XDy, your BusID should be PCI:0:10:0
[02:51] <genii> richie__ find out the previous version you were using by doing  apt-cache search <packagename>   then do apt-get -f install <packagename>=<versionnumber>   where versionnumber is something like #.#.#ubuntu# eg: 0.1.2ubuntu5  or whatever version cache reported for the old package
[02:51] <XDy> Azmoo, for the second card?

[02:52] <Perryman> is anyone having problems in dapper firefox or opera loading youtube videos off of opera?
[02:52] <Alexc90> where i can find a xchat python module?
[02:52] <AzMoo> XDy, "PCI:00:0a.0" <-- Needs to be converted from hex to decimal. So if that's your second card, then yes.
[02:52] <Perryman> i know flash works because macromedia and youtube load, yet video files linked to youtube aren't loading
[02:52] <XDy> Azmo, ah
[02:52] <XDy> okay
[02:52] <Perryman> either it's another type of file, or it's wrong on their end
[02:52] <genii> 0a hex = 10 dec
[02:53] <Alexc90> noone can help me?
[02:53] <francois> Perryman: what website are you looking at ?
[02:53] <XDy> is the rest of the setup good?
[02:53] <francois> Alexc90: what are you looking for ?
[02:53] <richie__> i test this
[02:53] <Perryman> http://chumpthreads.livejournal.com/ for example
[02:53] <Perryman> if you scroll there are some embedded video files that show white for me
[02:53] <Alexc90> i want to install the module
[02:53] <Perryman> even though i have flash player
[02:54] <francois> Perryman: they work for me, did you install the flash player from the site www.adobe.com ?
[02:54] <Perryman> no, i installed it from add/remove software
[02:55] <MKDE> if i install Videolan, will it read wmv and mpg format or i need plugins?
[02:55] <francois> Perryman: theres a new version, flash player 9
[02:55] <Perryman> francois: if i'm supposed to get it from adobe.com how should i install it
[02:55] <francois> Perryman: you download the file, extract it, then cd to the folder, and then do ./flashplayer-install
[02:55] <Perryman> according to flash.com i have version 9,0,31,0
[02:56] <francois> MKDE: you can just get mplayer, it has all the lateste codecs for most things
[02:56] <francois> MKDE: and its awsome
[02:56] <francois> Alexc90: i can't find a python module for xchat
[02:56] <Perryman> francois: it says i have the latest version on adobe.com.... very odd
[02:57] <francois> Perryman: yeah that is weird, but the videos work, could just be the webpage for you, are all your packages up to day ?
[02:57] <Alexc90> francois, i'm italian, i don't know english very good. sorry :-(
[02:57] <ardchoille> francois, Is the python module the same thing as a python interface for XChat?
[02:57] <Perryman> yeah, just ran all updates, dapper is good
[02:57] <francois> Alexc90: thats ok, you're doing good :)
[02:57] <Perryman> i'll check later
[02:57] <MKDE> ok francois i will download it thanks
[02:58] <francois> ardchoille: maybe, do you know where to find it ? maybe you can help Alexc90 out
[02:58] <ardchoille> francois, Alexc90 I noticed that the python interface is loaded bydefault when I start XChat in Dapper. Maybe Alexc90 already has it?

I read everything related to sound on ubuntu support pages and asked on forums, too, but I didn't solve my problem yet. Any suggestions?
[03:09] <francois> Kondor_: you're saying your sound sometimes works ? or the whole system sometimes works ?
[03:09] <Kondor_> the sound.
[03:09] <Se2> it says command not found
[03:09] <Kondor_> sometimes I hear the sound at login and I can listen to music etc. too
[03:09] <Se2> francois it says command not found
[03:09] <francois> Kondor_: and then sometimes you hear nothing ?
[03:09] <Kondor_> some other times it doesn't work nor at login nor when I start players.
[03:10] <francois> Se2: what did you install ?
[03:10] <Kondor_> francois: yes.
[03:10] <francois> Kondor_: have you checked to see if maybe the sound gets muted automatically on boot ?

[03:11] <anandanbu> can someone help me to install new themes for the ubuntu 6.10
[03:11] <comicinker> is it a problem for ubuntu to mount a 320GB ntfs firewire hdd?
[03:11] <francois> Kondor_: when you start players, do they give you an error ? or can you see the little animations of the sound playing ?
[03:12] <v4m21> Hi, how to get knoppix like virtual console under ubuntu ?
[03:12] <francois> comicinker: it shouldn't be
[03:12] <Kondor_> sure. The player works but sound doesn't output.
[03:12] <comicinker> I tried so, and it doesn't work
[03:12] <r_rehashed> Se2: you can go to System>Preferences>Menu Layout and check Bit Torrent under Internet
[03:12] <Kondor_> comicinker: use ntfs-3g tools.
[03:12] <francois> Kondor_: if you can see the little animations that the sound is playing, then maybe its a hardware problem, i can't really help you more than this

[03:13] <Kondor_> it's sucky.
[03:13] <francois> Kondor_: could be a short, my friend had a keyboard that was shorted, it would just randomly go nuts on him

[03:14] <comicinker> the output shows the pluggin off an and on
[03:14] <NaPsTeR> i dunno...apparently 7.04 will look really good but u can download it for the earlier versions...cosmos or something like that

[03:15] <Kondor_> manually?
[03:15] <comicinker> no I can't

[03:15] <Kondor_> hehehe
[03:15] <comicinker> hehe
[03:15] <Kondor_> what device is it? sda, hda, etc? :D
[03:16] <francois> lol linux masters foiled again, lol
[03:16] <cyros> lol
[03:16] <comicinker> yeah, what device, exactly. but I can't find it as a device because my system doesn't recognice the hd correctly
[03:16] <anandanbu> how do i install themes for the Gaim
[03:16] <Kondor_> try
[03:17] <NET||abuse> hey guys,, anyone know what the deal is going to be with firefox 2,, and when it'll come out in edgy debs?
[03:17] <comicinker> please have a look at my gmesg output http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7291/
[03:17] <ullvarg> could someone please tell me which of the files here http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/deb/ I need to download to get dvd suport on a celeron based computer?
[03:17] <NoEvidenZ> aha! I got it!
[03:17] <Kondor_> sudo /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda or sudo /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda
[03:17] <Kondor_> and paste the output.
[03:17] <comicinker> ones again: my system cannot recocgnice it correctly
[03:17] <comicinker> I paste the output on http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7291/
[03:17] <Kondor_> I see...
[03:17] <Kondor_> hm...
[03:18] <CarinArr> NET||abuse: what do you mean? firefox 2 is already available in edgy debs
[03:18] <Kondor_> hm. No clue.
[03:18] <knovak> Why did GNOME switch to the crappier screen saver client? Xscreensaver was so much better, in terms of letting you change things
[03:18] <knovak> and, is there any way to switch back?
[03:18] <Se2> it says port 6881 is blacklisted (rejected by tracker) , anyone know what to do..
[03:18] <francois> NET||abuse: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/
[03:18] <comicinker> well, I thought I could get a hint at least in the english IRC
[03:19] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, wow, i wasn't with it here,, yeh, it is firefox 2... dont know what's going on in my head.. anyway,, just not getting many updates to it,, and i get crashes frequently
[03:19] <slowfast> AzMoo:  Yes
[03:19] <Se2> i don't see any settings to change port in this BitTorrent ..
[03:19] <CarinArr> NET||abuse: hm.. dunno about crashes.. I haven't had any problems at all with mine
[03:19] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, dunno, just sometimes, maybe 3 tabs into my session i get a hang and it crashes out
[03:19] <AzMoo> slowfast, put "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/the/path/here" into ~/.bashrc
[03:19] <francois> Se2: its not your port, its the tracker's ports, it means the torrent is bad
[03:20] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, it's not a memory issue, i have 1.5GB
[03:20] <CarinArr> NET||abuse: weird.. i can't remember the last tiem mine crashes and i always have a massive amount of tabs open
[03:20] <comicinker> so no one can give me a hint for my firewire - harddisc?
[03:20] <CarinArr> meh, add spelling
[03:20] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, dunno, i should really check out the bugzilla list for the edgy version
[03:20] <comicinker> please....
[03:20] <CarinArr> yeah, might be a good idea
[03:20] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, thanks anyway :)
[03:21] <CarinArr> sorry i can't help;)
[03:21] <Se2> torrent can't be bad, yesterday i downloaded it with bitcomet
[03:21] <slowfast> AzMoo:  Thanks, I will try it.  However, will that work for programs started from the gnome menu?
[03:21] <[H4z3] > Hey can anyone help with streaming video on firefox?
[03:21] <CarinArr> Se2: what torrent client are you using
[03:21] <francois> [H4z3] : sure, what do you need ?
[03:21] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, then again,,, maybe beryl is part of my problem,,,, wait no,, i've got the crashes during non beryl sessions
[03:21] <norf-ubu> h4z3: as in youtube ?
[03:21] <Se2> now i use BitTorrent

[03:21] <NET||abuse> CarinArr, do you have the flash plugin (nonfree v9 ) loaded up?
[03:21] <[H4z3] > Well, i installed vlc flugin to play mpg files... but it only comes up as a blank page saying no video
[03:21] <NET||abuse> or Realplayer plugin?
[03:22] <CarinArr> NET||abuse: both i think. at work at the moment and running a completely clean install so can't check
[03:22] <Se2> i'll try another p2p client.

[03:24] <NaPsTeR> theres an app i want but it ses i need cvs so i got it and i stil cant get the app
[03:24] <francois> compengi: i don't think its only for firefox, you can check with flash.com or adobe.com the latest being v9.0
[03:25] <anandanbu> can anyone in this channel help me to install new desktop themes for the ubuntu 6.10
[03:25] <sirius> isn't it i have to install firefox 32bit to use flash?
[03:25] <compengi> francois, yeah i know that it's 9 but i want to make sure that i have it
[03:25] <anandanbu> is there anyone
[03:25] <sirius> any alternative?
[03:25] <cyros> i installed fluxbuntu and went to a site that needed flash and press install and it went through and worked fine i was amazed

[03:26] <francois> compengi: if you have it installed, thats the one you have, it'll override any other versions
[03:26] <francois> compengi: no matter way
[03:26] <francois> compengi: no matter what*
[03:27] <tom47>  [H4z3]  i am trying to do the same at the moment ... and have had some but not complete success

I have a compaq armada 1750 and im tring to install kubuntu and after about 2 mins of loading the black x in the dead center appears and its been sitting there for to hours now... any links i found on this problem dont work like this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=475

[03:28] <tom47> [H4z3] : iremoved the mozilla firefoc totem plugin and replaced it with the vlc one
[03:28] <compengi> francois, okay, then do you know how to install the newest plugin for firefox?
[03:28] <[H4z3] > Yeah me too.. but i get the no video error
[03:28] <tom47> yes same here .... so what i did was ...
[03:28] <BetaCookies> [ATi]  I'm not sure what driver I should use :\ I'm leaning towards fglrx, because that recently added more support for my crappy radeon xpress 200m [I think..] . I just want to be able to use a resolution other than 800x600 and I want to try to use Beryl.. things like it work fine in w..i..*shudder*..ndows
[03:29] <tom47> [H4z3] : installed MediaPlayer Connectivity plugin
[03:29] <geo_> ATI is the devil!
[03:29] <norf-ubu> [H4z3] :  i'm sure its down to codecs
[03:29] <tom47> at least i can get things to play\
[03:29] <francois> compengi: if you install the flash plugin, firefox should just find it
[03:29] <mjr> BetaCookies, for xpress 200m you probably need fglrx yes for 3d acceleration
[03:29] <francois> compengi: or you can just update firefox,
[03:29] <mjr> it's a particularly bothersome chipset
[03:29] <[H4z3] > I'll install more codecs after i'v finished with kde
[03:30] <compengi> francois, i have flashplugin-nonfree installed with other libraries from GPL flash
[03:30] <tom47> norf-ubu no i disagree i can get them to play
[03:30] <mjr> geo_, let's be fair, all of ati, nvidia and matrox are the devil. The unholy trinity, so to speak ;)
[03:30] <francois> compengi: ok, did you get it from adobe.com ? or apt-get ?
[03:30] <genii> beni_  please describe more clearly where your domain is located and where the nameserver machine is located, and whether they use static assigned IP numbers and so on. I may be able to help
[03:30] <compengi> francois, apt-get

[03:31] <[H4z3] > KDE or gnome?
[03:31] <genii> bleh he didn't even stay long enough for some help
[03:31] <francois> Memener: you need to reset your xserver i think, i had the same problem
[03:32] <tom47> [H4z3] : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/446/
[03:32] <Memener> how do i reset the xserver?
[03:32] <[H4z3] > tom47: nice one ill take a look thanks
[03:32] <riotkittie> Memener: errr. are you running from the live disc?
[03:33] <compengi> Memener, ctrl + backspace
[03:33] <Memener> i have restarted the computer many times and it does the same thing after booting from the cd
[03:33] <genii> Memener How much ram does this system have? If less than 256 it may take quite some while normally. With 192 it installs but very laggy. With 128 or less it hangs continuously and you must use the alternate install CD which needs less ram
[03:33] <riotkittie> Memener: is the computer locking up, or is it just X?
[03:33] <francois> genii: i think his xserver just isn't starting, so he's left with a x in his screen
[03:33] <corninos> #ubuntu-it-chat
[03:33] <Memener> yeah it locked up and it only has 64mbs of ram
[03:34] <genii> francois Yes, I've had this with exact same system at 256 works but 128 hangs
[03:34] <francois> genii: ah, good call
[03:34] <Memener> whats the name of the other install cd?
[03:34] <genii> Memener Then it will not work. You need the alternate install CD
[03:35] <[H4z3] > tom47: that worked.. although the video crashes after several second

[03:36] <Dregin> my version of Beryl is currently beryl-core 0.1.9999.1, how do I update to 0.2.0 RC2?
[03:36] <Memener> i just found out about ubuntu today but i have other linux os and they work fine why does this one need so much ram?
[03:36] <Dregin> this seems to be the latest release in apt-get
[03:36] <GruncH> hello everybody
[03:36] <fredl> Memener - X needs lots of RAM
[03:36] <francois> Memener: you could prolly run it fine from command line
[03:36] <fredl> Memener - it's not Linux itself that's using all the memory.
[03:37] <genii> Memener You can navigate to the appropriate site from here to get a choice of regular,server,or alternate install CDs http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[03:37] <genii> Memener Tho if you have 64mb only, you would be better to use Damn Small Linux
[03:38] <fredl> what would you do in 64MB, hmmm
[03:38] <genii> fredl Run a firewal/filter ? ;)
[03:38] <Memener> I was hoping to get a good verson running on it its a PII 366 64MB ram 6GB hd and a 4mb video card
[03:38] <riotkittie> or starting with a server install and then adding a light weight WM
[03:38] <genii> Memener: damn small linux link: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html
[03:39] <Memener> it runs windows xp without any problems
[03:39] <fredl> then install windows XP on it?
[03:39] <genii> Memener You will need at least 192Mb to install it and at least 128 to run it
[03:39] <Memener> thanks for the link :)
[03:39] <riotkittie> xp on 64mb of ram?   thats the second time i've heard that. and the mind, it boggles.
[03:39] <Cosmonaut3030> Memener: Give Damn Small Linux a try
[03:39] <francois> hahahaha,
[03:39] <francois> win xp ? whats that ? :P
[03:40] <Rossimo-work> whats the easiest way to find out the ubuntu version of a friend's box?
[03:40] <dbd_> can i just update and upgrade to next release after edgy using like apt-get or do i have to use live cd and upgrade
[03:40] <[H4z3] > u cant use aptitude/apt-get
[03:40] <Cosmonaut3030> dbd_: You need to edit your /etc/sources.list
[03:40] <Nikolas_> Rossimo-work, lsb_release -a
[03:40] <Jowi> Memener, use ubuntu-alternate cd and install a light wm such as ice-wm, WindowMaker or similar.
[03:40] <tom47> [H4z3] : sorry was checking some stuff out .... i have just installed the vlc alsa plugin as well
[03:40] <[H4z3] > ahh
[03:40] <dbd_> is there a howto in the forums?
[03:40] <Memener> i got dsl running and PI 133 32mb(ibm 310ed thinkpad) and theres noting to do with dsl its hard to get anything installed
[03:41] <Cosmonaut3030> dbd_: and then do apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:41] <riotkittie> fluxbox <3
[03:41] <[H4z3] > tom47: does it work fine now?
[03:41] <genii> Actually wdm as login and xfce is not too bad
[03:41] <mneptok> dbd_: you should be able to update via apt tools, but wait a few weeks after release for all your dependencies to settle nicely.
[03:41] <tom47> its working yes but one site i use there is some sort of script problem
[03:41] <Rossimo-work> thanks!
[03:41] <[H4z3] > Hmm
[03:41] <riotkittie> genii: ehhh. i find xfce quite heavy. on ubuntu, at least.
[03:41] <[H4z3] > Mine still freezes
[03:41] <dbd_> april is release was going to wait till around may 1st
[03:42] <[H4z3] > im gonna download more codecs soon
[03:42] <dbd_> just wondered if it would work
[03:42] <[H4z3] > after kde finishes.. about 15 years :P
[03:42] <dbd_> Cosmonaut3030, how do i fiqure out what sources to add
[03:42] <dbd_> or do i just change edgy to fawn?
[03:42] <genii> riotkittie: Well, you can go more minimalistic even but I think it's a nice balance of performance for the gui
[03:42] <Cosmonaut3030> dbd_: Yah.
[03:42] <francois> dbd_: just change
[03:43] <dbd_> nice
[03:43] <dbd_> so its easy thats good
[03:43] <dbd_> im getting to really like this ubuntu
[03:43] <dbd_> its a refreshing change
[03:43] <genii> for really minimal you can use fvwm2 with some decent menu configuration
[03:43] <nightwatch> hi there, is there any way to make apt test mirrors speed and choose between best mirros?
[03:43] <tom47> [H4z3] : i have another site where i can get the video (since beginning to use vlc) but still not the sound
[03:44] <dbd_> i have another question but dont wanna seem like im trolling
[03:44] <[H4z3] > tom46: Must be codecs
[03:44] <[H4z3] > tom47-
[03:44] <dbd_> its about the ubuntu server cd?
[03:44] <francois> nightwatch: i dont' think you can monitor that,
[03:44] <Cosmonaut3030> dbd_: ask it, someone will know
[03:44] <dbd_> anyone here have experience with it
[03:44] <dbd_> k
[03:44] <tom47> ah .... the sound is coming but is v hackey on that site
[03:44] <francois> nightwatch: besides, there aren't that many mirrors
[03:44] <lecrucious> when i do an apt-get upgrade it shows all the packages that will be upgraded. how can I look a a specific package to see what the new version number is without installing it?
[03:44] <Memener> also what im tring to test it out to see how well i like before i install it on this computer (my main) how well do you all think it would run on a ibm t22 its a PIII 950Mhz 256mb ram 30GB hd and a 8mb s3 video card
[03:44] <genii> dbd_ I'm running 6.06.1 dapper server install on 3 or 4 boxes
[03:45] <riotkittie> i use fluxbox <3  actually, i bounce back and forth between that and a few others including GNOME and until recently KDE and XFCE, but yea, XFCE wasnt a vast improvement :P    its odd because xfce on my other distro absolutely flies
[03:45] <tom47> [H4z3] : i dont thinks so its the setup
[03:45] <[H4z3] > Does it open vlc? or integrate into firefox?
[03:45] <[H4z3] > Hmm yeah maybe
[03:45] <tom47> [H4z3] : the sound is now fine
[03:45] <dbd_> i used centos server .. i was wondering about package details .. im sure to have to look at link .. to get but can i just do same thing to it and update it to fawn too
[03:46] <rwc> Hello
[03:46] <z0di4k> I am running Xorg 7.1.1 on Ubuntu Edgy.  I have 3 monitors setup.  The first 2 are on a PCI-E nVidia GeForce 6600GT using proprietary nVidia drivers, the third is on a PCI Riva TnT2 using the nv driver.  The first time I run xorg every day, when I put the mouse on the third monitor xorg crashes.  I restart it, and it is stable all day long.  I can use the third monitor fine.  Any ideas?
[03:46] <dbd_> or should i just add security updates only
[03:46] <[H4z3] > tom47: Your a step ahead of me then
[03:46] <tom47> [H4z3] : i am using The Australian and Sydney Morning Herald sites
[03:46] <BetaCookies> restarting for fglrx
[03:46] <fredl> dhclient just doesn't do what it says it'll do...
[03:47] <rwc> I am running Edgy and have the multiverse sources uncommented, but I cant find/install the package "msttcorefonts"... is this package meant to still be available?
[03:47] <nightwatch> francois I have about 5 mirrors listed in sources.list for archiv.ubuntu.com , fr, de, us, and br, but upt choose the first one and if it fails then start downloading from the other. I thought I read about to fix it in the past...
[03:47] <dbd_> genii, if you use dapper thats the long term one right, it just handles updates?
[03:48] <francois> rwc: its in multiverse, do you ahve them available ?
[03:48] <dbd_> isnt there an edgy version of server?
[03:48] <francois> nightwatch: then i dont' know how, sorry,
[03:48] <axisys> what is a good linux distro for a index 800Mhz and 256M ram server used mainly as wiki ?
[03:48] <AzMoo> dbd_, yes, there is.
[03:48] <rwc> francois, I think so, I uncommented the line mentioning multiverse and updated
[03:48] <rwc> but nothing
[03:48] <axisys> s/index/intel/
[03:48] <francois> and you did sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts ?
[03:48] <genii> dbd_ I'm not sure if there is a Feisty server version yet. But the upgrade process would be the same whether server version or not in ubuntu. Since centos is an open-sourced  redhat enterprise base it uses a different method of course based on the RPM system. since ubuntu is a debian based dist, it uses the deb method. also the repositories for them in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:49] <lordkeiden> good am ppl. what do i do to get my 2 year old reative web cam working?
[03:49] <axisys> can i run latest freebsd with good performance on a intel 800Mhz 256M ram as a wiki server?
[03:49] <rwc> francois, yes, I get an error including this: E: Package msttcorefonts has no installation candidate
[03:49] <fredl> If I put the single line 'request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, host-name, netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;' in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, it will still rewrite my /etc/resolv.conf
[03:49] <fredl> damnit.
[03:49] <genii> dbd_ Since these are production boxes for specific purposes, I don't care to upgrade the OS unless there is something new I require.
[03:50] <dbd_> ok but you do security updates?
[03:50] <z0di4k> axisys: Yes, it probably would, along with almost any linux distro.  Don't run xorg though.  I suggest if you choose BSD that you ask in #openBSD though
[03:50] <dbd_> most of my boxes are samba with lan access and no access to wan ?
[03:51] <francois> rwc: i dont' know what that error means, sorry
[03:51] <genii> dbd_ Yes. And a cron job of package upgrades about once a month.
[03:51] <francois> rwc: whta kind of system are you running ?
[03:51] <dbd_> nice
[03:51] <dbd_> how hard is it to setup crontab to update
[03:52] <francois> rwc: its available to all, so you should be able to get it
[03:52] <rwc> francois, rwc edgy, japanese mirrors, thinkpad laptop
[03:52] <dbd_> i know i sound like a n00b
[03:52] <rwc> -rwc
[03:52] <dbd_> i have be doing all updates manually
[03:52] <fredl> wait, the stupid thing caches leases doesn't it...

[03:52] <genii> dbd_ Just write a shell script with the appropriate commands to execute, then do a crontab to call it on a schedule
[03:52] <BetaCookies> Hey
[03:53] <dbd_> genii, k sounds great
[03:53] <francois> rwc: maybe your sources.list isn't right,
[03:53] <dbd_> k back to work see you guys later thanks a bunch
[03:53] <genii> dbd_ Have fun :)
[03:54] <Memener> is there a page that has the system reqirements for kubuntu ... my ibm t22 is doing the samething
[03:54] <lordkeiden> axisys: my wifes lappy is a sempron 1.6 with 256mb ram, and on battery it is full time at 800mhz, and she is fine with it. even when playing roller coaster tycoon and she forgets to close open offie....
[03:54] <rwc> francois, ok... not sure what I did wrong... I'll keep trying... thanks
[03:54] <francois> rwc: pastbin it, and i'll take a quick look
[03:55] <fredl> anybody know what I need to put in dhclient.conf so that it won't overwrite my local resolv.conf??
[03:57] <frogzoo> fredl: remove the domain-name-servers
[03:57] <TTT_Travis> can someone help me find the source of my problem? Computer to Ubuntu is amazingly slow over the network, but Ubuntu to Computer is normal speeds
[03:57] <TTT_Travis> why is this happening
[03:57] <TTT_Travis> could my ubuntu box have a bad nic?
[03:57] <onats> hi,what's the command so that i'll know if my card supports pixel shader?
[03:57] <genii> Memener The requirements are the same. 192 at min to install from livecd normal iso. 128 to run it
[03:57] <rwc> francois, ok, I'm on it
[03:57] <TTT_Travis> Ubuntu -> client = fast, Client -> Ubuntu = slow
[03:57] <TTT_Travis> no matter what client I am on
[03:57] <fredl> frogzoo, well I already emptied the whole dhclient.conf so it just has request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, host-name;
[03:58] <TTT_Travis> could my NIC card be bad or something?
[03:58] <frogzoo> fredl: you using dhcp or pppd ?
[03:58] <siikah> TTT_Travis: check cpu usage if you run iperf between the two hosts.
[03:58] <rwc> francois, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4285/
[03:58] <fredl> frogzoo, dhclient
[03:59] <BetaCookies> I'm using fglrx and a Radeon Xpress 200m chipset [integrated graphics] , and I was wondering if I should try to install Beryl. I've used WindowBlinds and other things like it in Windows with transparency and other effects working fine without lag. I know that the linux drivers aren't up to par with the windows ones, though..
[03:59] <Memener> my IBM t22 has 256mb ram and 30gb hd ... after i put the cd into it boots loads some stuff the the x appears and it locks up i have restarted 3 times now
[03:59] <fredl> dhclient doesn't seem to do what I put in the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[04:00] <g333k_work> hello, I need to compile statically the "shutdown" program, can you help me to do that?
[04:00] <axisys> z0di4k, lordkeiden so i could run ubuntu server and it should work fine correct?
[04:00] <Memener> im download that other cd and ill see if that will work
[04:00] <axisys> yes i dont care about xorg
[04:00] <genii> TTT_Travis: More likely slowdowns are either dns related or you have multiple router/hub/switch cascaded and lots of collisions
[04:00] <z0di4k> axisys: Absolutely.  You could have xorg also, but I prefer to not run X on servers just for resources.....
[04:00] <Milo-> hmm, I think I just broke something, I can't log on to ubuntu as my keyboard layout is messed up, for example L prints 3
[04:01] <genii> z0di4k: Exactly
[04:01] <frogzoo> fredl: check /var/log/syslog
[04:01] <lordkeiden> axisys: imho, unless you are runnung a sql based site and high volume of queries (say 100 per min), i would think so.
[04:02] <francois> rwc: weird, looks much like mine
[04:02] <francois> rwc: only thing is that you're hsing the jp servesr
[04:02] <Milo-> any suggestions?
[04:02] <francois> rwc: could alwyas change that
[04:03] <z0di4k> axisys: You are talking pretty light weight use.  I have Apache+PHP+MySQL running on 500 MHz boxes without any problems at all.  These are serving up pages that get hundreds of hits per minute.
[04:03] <genii> axisys: I have several cli boxes. I put some basic functional stuff like elinks,mailutils,ircii  and get along fine surfing,chatting and emailing
[04:04] <lordkeiden> z0di4k: are these hits mostly queries of just php pages?
[04:05] <z0di4k> lordkeiden: It is a custom built PHP application.  It is basically an interface to data stored in the MySQL database.
[04:06] <genii> francois Have one from Tim Horton's on me :)
[04:06] <geeksauce> installing linux on the rents' computer cause i'm tired of fixing windows every day.  can it run on 128 ram?  and can i install from the live cd without booting into the live part first?
[04:06] <francois> genii: you speak my language :P
[04:07] <rwc> francois, ok, might give that a shot
[04:07] <genii> geeksauce: You'll need 192 on it to use the livecd regular iso install. but it runs on 128 fine. You can install by alternate cd with less that 192Mb
[04:09] <lordkeiden> z0di4k: well, I see i ubderestimate them. my numbers are based on watching iis5 beg for mercy at the same load on a simular machine and an asp site, and knowing that LAMP is better. I guess that LAMP is actually way way better! =-)
[04:09] <geeksauce> genii i have broadband so d'ling the alternate cd and burning isn't a big deal but i'm doing a million other things at the same time... any way to use one of the 6.06 LTS CD i ordered?  a command line switch before boot perhaps?
[04:10] <Milo-> what is GDM's config file for default keyboard layout?
[04:11] <genii> geeksauce No, the minimalistic installer just isn't on it unfortunately.
[04:12] <genii> geeksauce What I normally do actually is get the server install cd which goes to a cli install. Then I do a   apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   and then it just goes for the rest over internet
[04:12] <Milo-> or more like a GDM's login manager's keyboard layout config file?
[04:12] <casadel> hola
[04:13] <HymnToLife> Milo-, in GDM, you have the keyboard layout defined in your xorg.conf
[04:13] <casadel> hello
[04:13] <geeksauce> genii:  you mean run the server install cd from another pc on the network?
[04:13] <HymnToLife> !hi | casadel
[04:13] <ubotu> casadel: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:13] <graulich> How do I configure Ubuntu to work with an HDTV?
[04:13] <casadel> my name is ashley and they?
[04:13] <Milo-> HymnToLife mmkay, the keyboard works in console and when i'm logged in to gnome, but at login screen i can only use letters "y" "h" and "n"
[04:14] <HymnToLife> Milo-, pastebin your xorg.conf
[04:14] <z0di4k> lordkeiden: You saw that I said 100 hits per minute, *not* per second, right?  That is a load, but not a very heavy load.  Does iis really struggle under that?
[04:15] <genii> geeksauce No, I mean use the server install cd to quickly get a basic system on the box. with little resources etc so usually successful. Then get whatever desktop you like installed  by way of the command apt-get install    kubuntu-desktop for KDE xubuntu-desktop for xfce or ubuntu-desktop for regular Gnome
[04:16] <geeksauce> genii: will that install all the default packages and respective dependencies that are normally installed with the alternate ubuntu cd?
[04:16] <Milo-> http://rafb.net/p/ftBrnz97.html there you go
[04:16] <genii> geeksauce Yes
[04:17] <graulich> What do I tell xorg.conf to get higher resolutions on an HDTV?
[04:17] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> Greetings
[04:18] <francois> graulich: i think you can just add higher resolutions, if you know them
[04:18] <francois> Rafa_Viva_Rev: hi
[04:18] <graulich> francois: no that doesn't work
[04:18] <chris_> hallo?
[04:18] <chris_> hello i am new here
[04:18] <geeksauce> genii: ok thanks.  their pc is a real heap.  celeron 466, 128 ram, 4 mb video... think i should install xununtu, or is that designed more to conserve hdd space?
[04:18] <chris_> i heve today installed linux
[04:18] <nipuL> i'm getting a strange behaviour where the home directory is nfs mounted, gksu{do} will not run unless from a terminal. Which does not bother me, but my wife doesnt like it (:\) any ideas why this is happeneing?
[04:18] <genii> graulich It depends on combo of vidcard and monitor. If you know the max resolutions both can handle just add them to the xorg.conf file ahead of the highest ones there already.
[04:19] <chris_> SOMEBODY NETHERLAND
[04:19] <chris_> SOMEBODY NETHERLAND
[04:19] <nipuL> the programs won't even run unless it is mounted nolock, so i guess that might have something to do with it
[04:19] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> It is my first time in this chat in the comunity
[04:19] <lordkeiden> z0di4k: yup.... i saw that, and yes, iis5 was sweating blood! the team that wrote it was very confident that it was a clean set of code...i was contracted to find bad hardware on the server or network. everything was good then and still is...
[04:19] <chris_> my too
[04:19] <mastroDani> hi all, i've a problem, i've an Epson Stylus CX-3650 and i followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17314 and this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_EPSON_CX3650_&_DX3850 guide, printer work, but scanner don't! i don't have /etc/hotplug/ so i cannot follow that guides.. if i try apt-get install hotplug it say that udev and module-init-tools substitute it
[04:19] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> how are you francois?
[04:19] <francois> hi all the new guys
[04:19] <graulich> so genii, there's nothing special that needs to be done?
[04:19] <francois> Rafa_Viva_Rev: good, did you need help with something ?
[04:19] <chris_> rafa this too my first time here
[04:20] <genii> geeksauce: Well, we have had a bit of debate earlier over that. but as for bang for the buck as goes a gui and usable, xubuntu is fine for something like that box is capable of
[04:20] <mastroDani> can anybody help me? why i don't have /etc/hotplug? how can i "install" it?
[04:20] <francois> graulich: you can do Xorg -configure
[04:20] <oblio> hi all
[04:20] <chris_> CAN I DOWNLOAD MSN FOR LINUX ???
[04:20] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> aMsn Chris
[04:20] <graulich> francois: you mean "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or something else?
[04:20] <francois> chris_: you can use kopete,
[04:20] <pbureau> chris_,  look for aMSN
[04:21] <mastroDani> chris_, there's other tools.. aMSN, Gaim, Mercury Messenger
[04:21] <chris_> I HEVE ALREADY DOWNLOAD IT BUT HE DOND INSTALL IT
[04:21] <genii> graulich: Well, you will need to restart the x server to see if it takes of course. If not, then you go back and reverse the changes to the xorg.conf
[04:21] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> Gaim is good too
[04:21] <francois> graulich: yeah, but also Xorg -configure, they're different
[04:21] <francois> graulich: one is simply for the xorg, the other for the server
[04:21] <genii> holy capslock batman!
[04:21] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> In Aplications-> add Programs
[04:21] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> internet->
[04:21] <geeksauce> genii: so will it run any faster that way?  is the only different the gui? xfce instead of gnome?
[04:21] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> it  should installed on Aplications->internet
[04:22] <graulich> okay I'll try it, thanks francois, genii
[04:22] <Milo-> HymnToLife http://rafb.net/p/ftBrnz97.html
[04:22] <mastroDani> can anybody help me?
[04:22] <mastroDani> please
[04:22] <francois> mastroDani: surel
[04:22] <francois> mastroDani: ask away
[04:22] <oblio> see gyache for messenger; is very good...
[04:22] <genii> geeksauce: Basically the same sort of interface. in current xfce version tho, be warned is not intuitive how to make desktop shortcuts like in kde  or gnome tho.
[04:22] <chris_> ok
[04:22] <mastroDani> francois, tnx... i've already asked... i don't have the /etc/hotplug directory (ubuntu 6.06 fresh install) i need it for setting up my scanner
[04:23] <HeXiLed> hi guys.
[04:23] <mastroDani> francois, but if i try apt-get install hotplug it say that there's udev and module-init-tools that substitute it
[04:23] <HymnToLife> mastroDani, what makes you think you need it ?
[04:23] <mastroDani> i've debian with another system and i have udev but still have /etc/hotplug directory... so... how can i get back that?
[04:23] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> anybody knows its exist any driver for epson multifuncional cx7700? (sorry for my english, I'm a Latin guy)
[04:24] <francois> mastroDani: i don't beleive you need that directory anymore, let me look
[04:24] <mastroDani> HymnToLife, i've an Epson Stylus CX-3650 and i tried follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17314 and this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_EPSON_CX3650_&_DX3850 guide
[04:24] <mastroDani> francois, watch my link
[04:24] <HeXiLed>  i have a friend with an issue playing dvds with ubuntu. does he need any kind os codecs?
[04:24] <mastroDani> and.. as i said, with debian unstable i have that directory
[04:25] <genii> geeksauce Also by default gnome gdm login is installed, so you can put a minimalistic one if you like. i prefer wdm and then I uninstall gdm . It puts in a buinch on gnome stuff just to make the login screen pretty so I don't care to have it when I'm just going into xfce anyhow
[04:26] <mastroDani> HeXiLed, yes whatch here https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/dvdplayback.html

[04:27] <francois> mastroDani: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26911
[04:28] <francois> mastroDani: it explains about firmware, for your scanner, and how to get it working
[04:28] <mastroDani> francois, wait i read it
[04:28] <HymnToLife> visik7, that's what you should have done from the start :p
[04:28] <Amaranth> HymnToLife: he seems to have stopped
[04:28] <Amaranth> oh
[04:28] <Amaranth> missed the kick
[04:29] <mastroDani> francois, are you sure? i don't find CX 3650 there
[04:29] <graulich> umm, how do I stop the X server and go into a true console?
[04:29] <francois> mastroDani: it doesn't matter the make, you have to follow the same steps to get the firmware working,
[04:29] <oblio> pls. guys, I've Edgy Eft and I wanna install libgnomeui-dev : how to proceed ?
[04:29] <francois> mastroDani: just use the same steps, but for your scanner
[04:29] <apokryphos> oblio: take a look at the FAQ <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions> as linked to in the channel /topic
[04:29] <BetaCookies> hmm
[04:30] <mastroDani> graulich, CTRL+ALT+F1 (don't stop X server, change to terminal, hit ALT+F7 to return on X)
[04:30] <francois> graulich: use alt + f1 and then go
[04:30] <oblio> apokryphos,tnx !
[04:30] <selinuxium> how do i unload modules?
[04:30] <visik7> HymnToLife: yes but before I  had to be sure that nothing works
[04:30] <francois> graulich: /ect/init.d/kdm stop
[04:30] <selinuxium> hi apokryphos!
[04:30] <mastroDani> francois, i don't have a firmware (.bin)
[04:30] <HymnToLife> visik7, why is that ?
[04:30] <apokryphos> selinuxium: modprobe :P
[04:30] <HeXiLed> thanks
[04:30] <francois> mastroDani: you can prolly find it on the cd that came with your scanner, or online, at their website
[04:30] <BetaCookies> I'm trying to compile something, and I get this: "***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build slab were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS?"
[04:31] <graulich> francois: I'm on gnome =x
[04:31] <visik7> HymnToLife: uh ?
[04:31] <oblio> bye all
[04:31] <mastroDani> :/
[04:31] <selinuxium> apokryphos: I thought that was for loading them! should really read the man files... :)
[04:31] <Milo-> HymnToLife http://rafb.net/p/ftBrnz97.html that xorg.conf file
[04:31] <mastroDani> but i'm sure there's a way to get the /etc/hotplug directory
[04:31] <knovak> So, what would you say is the best free RPG for Linux?
[04:31] <francois> graulich: ah, i forget what the manager name was for gnome, just replace kdm with it
[04:31] <Milo-> any idea what's wrong
[04:31] <apokryphos> selinuxium: both
[04:31] <HymnToLife> Milo-, nothing wrong in it...
[04:31] <selinuxium> apokryphos: PM quickly?
[04:31] <apokryphos> selinuxium: ok
[04:31] <HymnToLife> maybe your GDM config is FUBAR
[04:31] <Milo-> HymnToLife obviously something is wrong as the login manager fails to use his keyboard
[04:32] <francois> Milo-: maybe broken keyboard ?
[04:32] <HymnToLife> Milo-, yes but the wrong thing is not in your xorg.conf :p
[04:32] <olafski> 'lo, I'm having trouble installing nvidia drivers for my geforce 6200, could anyone perhaps assist? :)
[04:32] <Milo-> francois keyboard is working just fine as soon as he logs in
[04:32] <christopherl> How do I know if usb2.0 is enabled on my computer? I move files between my usbdisk and computer, it's very slow.
[04:32] <Milo-> as well as in console
[04:32] <francois> Milo-: ah
[04:32] <francois> olafski: which drivers? from the website ?
[04:33] <Milo-> HymnToLife any deas where else the problem could be in?
[04:33] <olafski> francois: I used add/remove software from the menu to install nvidia proprietary drivers
[04:33] <HymnToLife> Milo-, your GDM config maybe, but I can't help you with it
[04:33] <francois> olafski: i use the drivers from the website, much better,
[04:33] <sts> hello folks
[04:33] <Milo-> ;<
[04:33] <sts> is there a mod_perl 2.0 package for ubuntu?
[04:33] <olafski> francois: ok, can give that a try, would "better" imply that they work? cause these ones make my screen go black and the system unresponsive
[04:34] <HymnToLife> francois, but also much more complicated for a beginner to install :p
[04:34] <francois> olafski: so whats wrong with the drivers after you installed them ?>
[04:34] <olafski> after I enable them (forgot how I did that, something with glx enable), I restart X and the screen goes black
[04:34] <francois> HymnToLife: agreed, but they may be his only solution
[04:34] <HymnToLife> olafski, did you check the troubleshooting section in !nvidia ?
[04:34] <francois> olafski: ok, pastbin your xorg.conf file
[04:35] <francois> olafski: true, do that first
[04:35] <Herpes> Has Ubuntu linux kernel 2.6.20?
[04:35] <olafski> hm I already put a backup back in place
[04:35] <olafski> !nvidia
[04:35] <olafski> ?
[04:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:35] <olafski> ah
[04:35] <HymnToLife> Herpes, !feisty has a 2.6.20 kernel
[04:36] <geeksauce> genii: second statement you lost me... i thought you were using gnome with a minimalistic login screen, then you said something about "when i'm going into xfce anhow"
[04:37] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> anybody could install autodesk maya 8.0?
[04:37] <Pici> sts: libapache2-mod-perl2

[04:38] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:38] <olafski> francois / HymnToLife: I'm using kubuntu by the way, so there's no "system" menu, but I assume it works more or less the same?
[04:38] <francois> olafski: should be, yup
[04:38] <francois> Rafa_Viva_Rev: i think you can install it with wine
[04:39] <willytell> someone know about courier, postfix
[04:39] <willytell> ?
[04:40] <genii> geeksauce wdm is a minimalistic x display manager. But even if you install only xubuntu-desktop for instance, it wants to pinstall a bunch of stuff gnome related just to give you gdm
[04:40] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> but the rendering it work normally?
[04:40] <francois> Rafa_Viva_Rev: yeah should be ok, let me check something before though
[04:41] <olafski> francois: hm I can't find this "restricted copyright" section in the repositories
[04:41] <arnnnn> is there a way to search files that has certain string inside ?
[04:41] <francois> olafski: are you running kde ?
[04:41] <olafski> yes
[04:41] <arnnnn> is there a way to search files that has certain sentence inside ?
[04:42] <francois> arnnnn: use grep
[04:42] <paiiiiii> Hi, i cannot find my wired networkcard. Ill find it in "lspci" but not in "ifconfig"
[04:42] <paiiiiii> any suggestions?

[04:42] <paiiiiii> :((
[04:42] <paiiiiii> "Unknown device"
[04:42] <olafski> francois: excellent, will that include a kernel module? if I'm naming this correctly, I have no idea ;)

When I now logged on, the sound didn't work, first it was just muted, but when i unmu

[04:43] <HymnToLife> but be sure to deinstall your restricted-modules before to avoid conflicts

[04:43] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> olafski use automatix2
[04:43] <francois> olafski: ok, you need to uninstall the restricted modules, otherwise we'll have problems
[04:44] <HymnToLife> !automatix
[04:44] <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
[04:44] <Rafa_Viva_Rev> it works for my

[04:44] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[04:44] <olafski> :)
[04:44] <olafski> francois: alright, where can I find this?
[04:44] <genii> Canute_ After you do ctrl-alt-f1 to get a console, you get back to X by alt-f6 or alt-f7
[04:44] <Canute_> Heh, too late now...
[04:44] <arnnnn> francois, thanks
[04:44] <francois> olafski: in your package manager, in the menu, just searched for installed packages and search restricted, and remove them
[04:44] <HymnToLife> olafski, open up Adept, search for any package with restricted-modules in it, and remove it
[04:45] <olafski> alright, shows 3, removing those now :)
[04:45] <HymnToLife> and also nvidia-glxc
[04:45] <HymnToLife> glx*
[04:46] <olafski> hm seems that was one of them
[04:46] <francois> olafski: yeah, its a dependancy
[04:46] <olafski> when searching for 'nvidia' there's also "nvidia-kernel-common", should that go as well?
[04:46] <genii> Canute_ Check the mixer by right-click on the speaker icon and see that the PCM device is unmuted
[04:46] <HymnToLife> nope, keep that one
[04:46] <francois> olafski: thats ok,
[04:46] <olafski> ok
[04:46] <olafski> ready :)
[04:46] <francois> HymnToLife: you know how to guide him ?
[04:46] <Milo-> HymnToLife weird, those fonts in "xorg.conf" doesnt exist
[04:47] <HymnToLife> no, I never installed the nvidia.com driver is Ubuntu
[04:47] <francois> ok
[04:47] <francois> olafski: now, write this down, because you'll only have 1 chance,
[04:47] <olafski> :)
[04:47] <olafski> I'm IRC'ing on another pc
[04:48] <francois> olafski: you need to do alt+f1, and that will give you a console, now, type sudo /ect/init.d/kdm stop,
[04:48] <Canute_> genii: it was muted, however, nothing changed when i unmuted it.
[04:48] <francois> olafski: now cd to your folder where you saved the drivers
[04:48] <punjab> Hi. Work KVM without running X? I wont run system in KVM on remote server.
[04:49] <francois> olafski: type sh drivername.run
[04:49] <ircusr> hiall
[04:49] <Canute_> genii: ok, had to move the sliders aswell, right, now it works :p
[04:49] <francois> olafski: go through the install, agreeing to what it says
[04:49] <HymnToLife> francois, it won't work in Edgy
[04:49] <Canute_> genii: thanks ;)
[04:49] <HymnToLife> there are a few other things to do
[04:49] <HymnToLife> but I don't know what :p
[04:49] <francois> HymnToLife: i'm running edgy, and it runs fine
[04:49] <ircusr> im running dapper, and it's great
[04:50] <genii> Canute_ Well, check perhaps all the other mixer devices and experiment to see if it is in there somplace. If not, you may also want to go into system settings and change the driver to something else like oss then change it back and restart it. You can also test from in there
[04:50] <olafski> francois: I assume this is right, but just to check: I need to type "sudo sh drivername.run" right?
[04:50] <genii> Canute_ Ah, OK :)
[04:50] <geeksauce> genii: ah ok.  either way i should use wdm though?  it's not gonna be passworded and there will only be one account other than root, so i'd set to autologin anyway
[04:50] <francois> olafski: where drivername is like NVIDIA-INSTALLER or whatever its named
[04:50] <olafski> aye just checking about the sudo part, you didn't mention that and the installer said it needs to be root
[04:51] <francois> olafski: yeah sorry,
[04:51] <olafski> download a kernel interface?
[04:51] <francois> olafski: just agree to it
[04:51] <francois> olafski: it won't find any,, but its ok
[04:51] <ircusr> ah
[04:51] <genii> geeksauce If only 1 account with autologin then you don't need a display manager. If it wants one by default then wdm is lightest.
[04:52] <The_Machine> I want to remove captive NTFS from my operating system.  I don't know how though.  Could someone *please* help me?  It's killing the performance of the OS.
[04:52] <francois> olafski: how are things ?
[04:52] <olafski> francois: it says it needs to compile a kernel interface
[04:52] <olafski> and is doing that right now
[04:52] <francois> olafski: ok, do it
[04:52] <olafski> now it says it was forced to guess the X library path and X module path
[04:52] <geeksauce> genii: gotcha, thanks.
[04:52] <francois> olafski: ok keep going
[04:53] <genii> geeksauce np
[04:53] <olafski> "would you like to run the nvidia-xconfig utility?"
[04:53] <olafski> yes I assume :)
[04:53] <francois> olafski: yup
[04:53] <olafski> all done
[04:53] <francois> olafski: this will modify your xorg to run on the new drivers
[04:53] <francois> ok
[04:53] <olafski> kdm start?
[04:53] <genii> The_Machine: By "captive" NTFS what do you mean? A mounted partition?
[04:53] <francois> olafski: now open up your xorg.conf
[04:54] <mastroDani> francois, hey mate! my scanner work.. i simply follower the first part of the tutoria i gave you (editing /etc/sane.d/epson.conf) and then i rebooted

[04:54] <olafski> francois: aye
[04:55] <francois> olafski: awsome, check the drivers, and see if its set to nvidia
[04:55] <Milo-> GRrrrrrrrrrrr
[04:55] <christopherl> is usb 2.0 enabled by default in Ubuntu 6.10?
[04:55] <Milo-> frustrating
[04:55] <Milo-> i cant get my gdm's login screen to work!
[04:55] <ircusr> i think it is
[04:55] <Milo-> not with keyboard
[04:55] <olafski> francois: driver "nvidia"; BoardName "nv"
[04:55] <genii> The_Machine: Nevermind, just looked it up, read write NTFS package. If you installed it by deb package just do apt-get remove --purge <exact package name here>
[04:55] <nothlit> christopherl: it should be
[04:55] <secion8> hello everybody
[04:55] <ircusr> h
[04:55] <francois> olafski: ok, now back to console, and restart kdm
[04:55] <ircusr> hi
[04:56] <francois> /ect/init.d/kdm restart
[04:56] <christopherl> nothlit: do you know where I can check if it's enabled?
[04:56] <dreamer> hi, I just apt-get quake2, and when I try to start I get: Error: Couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx
[04:57] <nothlit> christopherl: try lspci | grep usb
[04:57] <olafski> francois: all done, I got a grey screen with a blinking cursor where kdm should be
[04:57] <genii> The_machine If you compiled it from source, go to the directory you ran make from and put sudo make dist-clean
[04:57] <secion8> I am following this tutorial http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=bcm+4318
[04:57] <genii> sometimes just make dist
[04:57] <francois> olafski: a grey screen ?
[04:57] <secion8> Everytime I blacklist bcm43xx my wireless interface dissapears.
[04:57] <francois> olafski: nothing showing up ?
[04:57] <olafski> yes, on alt+f7
[04:57] <The_Machine> it wasn't that
[04:57] <The_Machine> i found it
[04:57] <olafski> black on alt+f8
[04:57] <The_Machine> hmm
[04:57] <The_Machine> heh
[04:57] <The_Machine> you konw
[04:57] <christopherl> nothlit: nothing
[04:58] <secion8> I do not understand how to use the wifi carfd if it dissapears
[04:58] <HymnToLife> secion8, it's normal, since you disabled the driver...
[04:58] <The_Machine> i've been trying this for about a month
[04:58] <francois> olafski: if you type startx, what happens ?
[04:58] <The_Machine> and finally when i ask someone in the chan about it
[04:58] <The_Machine> is when i find the answer
[04:58] <The_Machine> anyway :)  hehe
[04:58] <secion8> how do I bring the interface up if it is not listed when I run iwconfig
[04:58] <olafski> francois: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
[04:58] <The_Machine> bbiaf!
[04:58] <genii> The_Machine: :) cool. Like a name you have on the tip of your tongue then it comes to you
[04:58] <francois> olafski: ok
[04:58] <nothlit> christopherl: try just lspci
[04:58] <francois> olafski: do Xorg --configure

[04:59] <nothlit> olafski: also have you ever installed the nvidia drivers manually or not from the repos?
[04:59] <Milo-> seriously, is here anyone who could tell me what can be wrong with gnome's login screen, as my keyboard is not working at the login screen, but it works in console, and it would start working after logon screen!
[04:59] <IdleOne> Zeveaz: it was a joke :(
[04:59] <olafski> nothlit: never done such a thing, I installed kubuntu today :)
[05:00] <mustafa> I am trying to watch vcd on totem first it worked I watched the first cd but when I had put the second cd it couldnt play and now it doesnt play anythin can some one help me
[05:00] <olafski> HymnToLife: thanks, but if you don't mind I'll stick to one method at a time ;)
[05:00] <mastroDani> francois, i would like.. but i have to register...
[05:00] <olafski> bookmarked though
[05:00] <mastroDani> i'll do it
[05:00] <francois> olafski: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, type this,
[05:00] <nothlit> Milo-: you need to reconfigure your keyboard for xorg
[05:01] <christopherl> nothlit: I got a lot of text, but didn't say anything about usb 2.0
[05:01] <matsavhalev> anyone have experience with TFTP and PXE booting? having a small problem cant seem to figure it out
[05:01] <nothlit> christopherl: no mention of anything usb at all?
[05:01] <Milo-> nothlit http://rafb.net/p/ftBrnz97.html here is my xorg.conf
[05:01] <francois> olafski: and then look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and post it on pastebin and gimme link
[05:01] <Milo-> i cant see what is wrong with it
[05:01] <nothlit> matsavhalev: you should ask in #edubuntu, they're good at LTSP stuff
[05:01] <Milo-> it worked yesterday
[05:01] <Milo-> then i installed some fonts, and now even after uninstalling those fonts, it is not working
[05:01] <genii> matsavhalev: Yes, I have a server mirroring dapper and edgy to a local lan here where they netboot and install.
[05:02] <HymnToLife> olafski, it seems you need to pass a few parameters to sh *.run
[05:02] <christopherl> nothlit: 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 02)
[05:02] <christopherl> 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB (Hub #3) (rev 02)
[05:02] <olafski> francois: that command gives me one of those 'visual' menu systems to configure X, I assume I should run through that before I post the Xorg log?
[05:02] <HymnToLife> maybe that's why it didn't work
[05:02] <francois> olafski: yeah
[05:02] <nothlit> Milo-:  "XkbLayout"     "fi" ? you're not using the standard us layout?

[05:02] <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

[05:02] <francois> HymnToLife: his doesn't need to pass parameters
[05:02] <nothlit> christopherl: kk gimme a sec
[05:02] <christopherl> ok
[05:03] <nothlit> christopherl: try dmesg | grep usb
[05:03] <HymnToLife> nothlit, here's some news : not everyone in the world live in the US !
[05:03] <HymnToLife> yes, yes, it's true :p
[05:03] <nothlit> HymnToLife: i don't either
[05:03] <genii> matsavhalev: What is the cause of your frustration involving pxe and tftpd ?
[05:03] <olafski> ok, now to find out how I am going to post that file without a graphical environment :s
[05:03] <olafski> just a sec
[05:04] <matsavhalev> genii: i followed http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server_p2 till the end of page two, the PXE boots and gets a dhcp ip addy but it says TFTP file not found
[05:04] <francois> ah
[05:04] <francois> olafski: try using links
[05:04] <nothlit> Milo-: does the keyboard only not work in GDM or all of X
[05:04] <francois> olafski: or you can just read through it, and tell me the errors you'll find, they're posted with EE at hte beggininig
[05:04] <genii> matsavhalev: Yes, you have to enable it in the file /etc/default/tftpd
[05:04] <matsavhalev> genii: tried playing with it again and again :-) no luck findingthe file, when i do a tftp localhost i can see it though so i dont understand
[05:05] <olafski> I ftp'd the log to my other pc, fastest way I knew ;)
[05:05] <Milo-> nothlit only not in this login screen

[05:06] <secion8> can someone please help me bring up my wireless interface, it is not listed when I run iwconfig
[05:06] <francois> olafski: reboot the computer while i read this :)
[05:06] <christopherl> nothlit: I got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4297/
[05:06] <genii> matsavhalev: I use tftpd-hpa and my netboot root is /var/lib/tftpboot  where pxelinux.0 is. Under that is the pxelinux.cfg directory where the default boot file is
[05:07] <matsavhalev> genii: i have the same setup
[05:07] <battlesqu1d> is there some way to restore /etc/groups?
[05:07] <olafski> alright
[05:07] <SmAcKaSs> Alright, who is around to troubleshoot my lack of a network connection on a fresh install?
[05:07] <olafski> I'm going to pray it will boot into anything usable ;)
[05:07] <genii> matsavhalev: This is a good place to look at for conf settings and so on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnCluster
[05:08] <francois> olafski: it'll still be usable if you change the driver to nv in your xorg, until we can resolve this
[05:08] <battlesqu1d> i think i have messed up the /etc/groups and now sudo doesn't work, please help! is there some way to restore /etc/groups or is there some other way?
[05:08] <genii> matsavhalev: The yp stuff you don't neccesarily need
[05:08] <SmAcKaSs> My network-admin gui is all screwy too.
[05:08] <genii> (nis)
[05:09] <olafski> francois: it booted with a text login
[05:09] <francois> olafski: text ? you mean console ?
[05:09] <olafski> eh yeah
[05:09] <francois> olafski: ok,
[05:09] <francois> olafski: did you have your headers installed ?
[05:09] <jackson> to play 'ape' files what's the name of the plugin i'd need....thanx
[05:09] <rjg_> When every i try to icompile from source, I do exactly as the instruction say, and everything goes fine. The, i get to make, and I always get this error: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[05:09] <olafski> headers..? not that I know of
[05:09] <nothlit> christopherl: oh ok i figured it out: lspci | grep usb | grep ehci
[05:10] <rjg_> I'm SURE i've done everythign else right
[05:10] <francois> olafski: gimme a sec
[05:10] <nothlit> christopherl: if you get any output, you're running usb2
[05:10] <ProN00b> can anyone recommend a nntp (news) client ?
[05:10] <genii> matsavhalev: This is useful as well http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[05:10] <NaPsTeR_> when does 7.04 come out?
[05:10] <matsavhalev> genii: unfortunately this computer is my pxe server so have to disconnect every time i wanna try it :0)
[05:11] <nothlit> christopherl: for me i just had a line like 00:10.4 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 86) but if you don't, EHCI will tell you if you do
[05:11] <francois> olafski: write uname -r, at console,
[05:11] <Milo-> nothlit did you have any help for me? -_-
[05:11] <francois> olafski: then apt-get install linux-headers-{output of prev step here}
[05:11] <olafski> francois: 2.6.17-10-generic
[05:11] <secion8> Is anyone willing to help me with ndiswrapper and bcm4318 rev2? Please?
[05:12] <genii> matsavhalev: Those 2 sites I gave have between them pretty much all the stuff you need to do. If you need help with preseed files let me know, I had to reverse engineer mine but they auto setup over netboot fine now
[05:12] <nothlit> Milo-: sorry, i'd investigate but i don't have gdm/kdm even installed
[05:12] <olafski> francois: linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic is already the newest version.
[05:12] <francois> olafski: ok awsome,
[05:12] <francois> olafski: just a moment
[05:12] <matsavhalev> genii: cool thanks, actually just looking to get feisty on my coreduo but the cdrom drive burnt out
[05:12] <olafski> sure :) thanks a bunch for all the time so far by the way
[05:13] <matsavhalev> genii: figured i could do it over pxe
[05:13] <genii> matsavhalev: Yeah it's a bit of a learning curve but works great once it's setup
[05:13] <christopherl> nothlit: got nothing, seems that I don't have usb 2.0, do you know where I can get it?
[05:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Is there an easy way to convert a lot of m4a files to mp3?
[05:14] <nothlit> christopherl: do you have any usb 2.0 devices plugged in?
[05:14] <Lunar_Lamp> (or ogg)
[05:14] <olafski> francois: it also mentioned some packages were automatically installed and are no longer required by the way (libsmokeqt1, binutils-static, nvidia-kernel-common)
[05:14] <francois> olafski: thats ok, have you done a sudo apt-get update and then upgrade ?
[05:14] <herede> Hi, does Ubuntu still have the 'custom' boot option?
[05:15] <olafski> francois: not that I remember, should I?
[05:15] <herede> I don't want a regular desktop setup.
[05:15] <Kolin5485> hello, sorry for very dumb question. In midnight commander when I'm in / I want to type 'los' to make cursor jump on 'lost+found' Just like in windows explorer.
[05:15] <francois> olafski: do it, just in case, it'll bring your system up to date
[05:15] <christopherl> nothlit: yes, my usb 2.0 8gb flash drive
[05:15] <olafski> francois: nothing upgraded, I did install the updates when KDE prompted me to, guess that did it
[05:15] <genii> herede Unfortunately you need to get the alternate install cd for stuff like dialog based install
[05:15] <francois> olafski: ok good
[05:16] <nothlit> !usbtree
[05:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usbtree - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:16] <francois> olafski: go back into your xorg
[05:16] <olafski> francois: xorg.conf?
[05:16] <francois> olafski: yeah
[05:16] <olafski> alright
[05:16] <nothlit> christopherl: are you sure your hardware supports usb 2?
[05:17] <francois> olafski: and under the module section, remove the dri and GLCore lines if they are there, and add the glx module, Load "glx"
[05:17] <Kolin5485> hello, sorry for very dumb question. In midnight commander when I'm in / I want to type 'los' to make cursor jump on 'lost+found' Just like in windows explorer.
[05:17] <herede> genii: okay, thanks for the info
[05:17] <christopherl> nothlit: yes, it's says so in manual
[05:17] <olafski> francois: dri removed, GLCore isn't there, glx is already loaded
[05:17] <genii> herede np
[05:18] <francois> olafski: save the file,
[05:18] <francois> olafski: type startx now
[05:18] <nothlit> christopherl: well its because you shouldn't have to do anything to enable it, the default kernel has support compiled in
[05:18] <olafski> francois: looks like that produces the same error
[05:19] <nothlit> christopherl: the manual for your computer says its usb 2.0 <capable> ?
[05:19] <Smexi> Quick question guys, Wheres the sudo'ers file?
[05:19] <christopherl> nothlit: ok, thanks anyway
[05:19] <genii> Smexi: /etc/sudoers
[05:19] <olafski> francois: it says failed to load NVIDIA kernel module, and then screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
[05:19] <francois> olafski:
[05:19] <Smexi> Thankyou! :D
[05:19] <christopherl> nothlit: it took me 25min to transfer a 1.4gb file from usb to computer, isn't that slow?
[05:19] <francois> olafski: maybe the config file isn't working with your monitor
[05:20] <HymnToLife> francois, if it fails to load the module, I doubt the problem is with the monitor
[05:20] <francois> olafski: backup the xorg.conf file, use cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old
[05:20] <olafski> francois: but shouldn't that kernel module error be resolved anyhow? I'll check out the settings, don't know the exact settings for my screen though
[05:20] <olafski> francois: alright backed up, what needs changing :)
[05:20] <francois> HymnToLife: it says it detects the module, and the monitor, but doesn't have a stable running
[05:21] <francois> olafski: heres the funny part, delete your xorg.conf
[05:21] <compengi> !herd3
[05:21] <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
[05:21] <ProN00b> christopherl, sounds like usb1, i had some problems with that too (figured i didn't have usb2 ports, so i bought a usb2 pci card)
[05:21] <francois> olafski: :P
[05:21] <genii> christopher1 Remember that altho the usb can do great speeds, the ide or sata drive in the usb enclosure can only do speeds which an IDE interface allows
[05:21] <olafski> francois: done
[05:21] <nothlit> christopherl: yes .93 mb/s is on the slow side
[05:21] <christopherl> ok
[05:22] <francois> olafski: OK, try startx, and/or restarting kdm manager
[05:22] <viller> how to enable wmv support (dapper)?
[05:22] <viller> impossible?
[05:22] <viller> w32codecs don't help
[05:22] <francois> !codecs | viller
[05:22] <ubotu> viller: 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
[05:22] <olafski> francois: getting something visible now ;)
[05:22] <genii> viller wmv is a proprietary micro$oft format.
[05:22] <HymnToLife> viller, if w32codecs doesn't help, I think you're toast
[05:22] <SmAcKaSs> having trouble with wireless in ubuntu, can't seem to get it set up. anyone around?
[05:22] <nothlit> viller: if you use totem
[05:22] <francois> olafski: ok, are there any problems ?
[05:22] <Bobsworth> What's a good ftp program for linux?
[05:22] <nothlit> viller: you need w32codecs AND gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
[05:23] <francois> Bobsworth: command line :)
[05:23] <AlexC_> !anyone SmAcKaSs
[05:23] <olafski> francois: not that I can see, I just get my desktop now
[05:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anyone smackass - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:23] <AlexC_> !anyone | SmAcKaSs
[05:23] <ubotu> SmAcKaSs: 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?
[05:23] <HymnToLife> SmAcKaSs, please be more precise, what exactly gives you trouble
[05:23] <secion8> smackass, I am also having trouble? What card do you use?
[05:23] <genii> Bobsworth: I like the firefox extension fireftp  very handy as a client.
[05:23] <francois> olafski: ok, use alt+f1 again, and open up the new xorg, it should of created one, and then check the drivesr, see if they're set to nvidia
[05:23] <viller> thx nothlit
[05:23] <SmAcKaSs> well mine is a Broadcom in a laptop
[05:24] <SmAcKaSs> i can see it in iwconfig, but the gui is acting up
[05:24] <secion8> smackass, what chipset?
[05:24] <HymnToLife> SmAcKaSs, shouldn't be difficult to get working with ndiswrapper
[05:24] <Bobsworth> genii thanks, i'll try that
[05:24] <olafski> francois: there's no xorg.conf, should I close X first?
[05:24] <genii> Bobsworth np
[05:24] <secion8> hymntolife, I did the ndiswrapper procedure and my interface disspaeared
[05:24] <francois> olafski: yeah, close the display, and then see if there was a file created
[05:24] <SmAcKaSs> Hymn: not familiar with ndiswrapper, is it built into ubuntu?
[05:24] <HymnToLife> !ndiswrapper | SmAcKaSs
[05:24] <ubotu> SmAcKaSs: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:25] <genii> SmAcKaSs: Also google for fw-cutter and bcm43xx and you'll find some help
[05:25] <freezey> does ubuntu have a .tt2 creator?
[05:25] <Smexi> Uhmmm
[05:25] <HymnToLife> secion8, it's normal your interface disappears before you install ndiswrapper
[05:25] <tuna-fish-> Is there a separate channel for feisty herd3 or does talk about it belong here?
[05:25] <lordkeiden> network manager issue, i think.
[05:25] <Smexi> Im trying to add my dear old mother to the sudoers file, So I can fix her printer but I need a hand...
[05:25] <Smexi> Do I just add her name to it?
[05:25] <Kolin5485> hello, sorry for very dumb question. In midnight commander when I'm in / I want to type 'los' to make cursor jump on 'lost+found' Just like in windows explorer.
[05:25] <Smexi> (Using "visudo" of course..."
[05:25] <genii> tuna-fish #ubuntu+1
[05:25] <HymnToLife> Smexi, add the login to the admins group
[05:25] <secion8> Before i install, But should it be back after i am done and reboot? Or do I got it wrong?
[05:26] <olafski> francois: no such file, it does say "using default builtin configuration"
[05:26] <Smexi> HymnToLife Thanks =] 
[05:26] <olafski> francois: also mentions something about xf86AutoConfig
[05:26] <secion8> Hymn, How do I bring it up?
[05:26] <HymnToLife> Smexi, sudo nano -w /etc/group, spot the admin line, add the user, voil?
[05:26] <francois> olafski: ah, ok,
[05:26] <Smexi> Thanks for that...
[05:26] <francois> olafski: just a sec
[05:26] <HymnToLife> secion8, do you have ndiswrapper installed proplerly (i.e. ndiswrapper -i says "driver installed, hardware present") ?
[05:26] <lordkeiden> network manager report my wifi as eth1, and in the ndiswrapper gui in control panel, it shows no windows drivers, even though i used ndiswrapper to get my bcm4318 wifi card to work. whats up?
[05:27] <SmAcKaSs> I've read the ubuntu docs. i've trouble shot on my own, i'm looking to see if there is someone that can help me.
[05:27] <HymnToLife> SmAcKaSs, what exactly do you neet hepl with ?
[05:27] <SmAcKaSs> i'm fairly sure that my card will be compatible
[05:27] <secion8> hymn, yes, it says driver is installed and hardware present
[05:27] <HymnToLife> secion8, sudo iwconfig <= do you have a wireless interface there ?
[05:27] <francois> olafski: type Xorg -configure
[05:28] <SmAcKaSs> Hymn, well i see my card on eth0 in iwconfig, but the GUI network-admin is not getting anything connected
[05:28] <francois> olafski: it'll create a new xorg file in your home directory,
[05:28] <secion8> hymn, nope
[05:28] <HymnToLife> SmAcKaSs, screw the gui, do sudo iwconfig eth0 essid YOUR_ESSID key YOUR_WEP_KEY
[05:28] <francois> olafski: and then type Xorg -config xorg.conf.new, where that last part is the new file
[05:28] <olafski> francois: driver "nv"
[05:28] <HymnToLife> than sudo dhclient eth0 to use DHCP
[05:29] <SmAcKaSs> Hymn, thats along the lines of what i was looking for :-p thank you
[05:29] <HymnToLife> secion8, do   sudo depmod -a    and then    sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:29] <secion8> HymnToLife, I have lo, No wireless extensions and eth1 no wireless extensions
[05:29] <genii> Anyone know of some decent web frontend to blackice?
[05:29] <francois> !blackice
[05:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about blackice - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:30] <lordkeiden> also, i do a ndiswrapper -l and it indeed reportd the driver.
[05:30] <AlexC_> define "decent", genii
[05:30] <francois> olafski: are you ok ?
[05:30] <HymnToLife> lordkeiden, "driver installed, hardware present" ? do what I told secion8 in my last message
[05:30] <genii> AlexC Sorry, wrong name... was ICES2 server LOL
[05:30] <olafski> francois: eh.. I'm fine, but the pc doesn't seem to be ;)
[05:30] <secion8> HymnToLife, When i run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i get: FATAL: module ndiswrapper not found
[05:31] <secion8> the first command ran fine
[05:31] <francois> olafski: are you stuck on a display ? with a big x in the middle ?
[05:31] <olafski> francois: no, just a bunch of errors
[05:31] <genii> Anyone know of some decent web frontend to ices or ices2 ?
[05:31] <HymnToLife> secion8, hmm, that's weird, how did you install ndiswrapper ?
[05:31] <olafski> francois: I did sudo X -config /home/olafski/xorg.conf.new
[05:31] <genii> eg: Tune selection or queuing etc
[05:31] <olafski> francois: errors: failed to initialize GLX extension, xf86openserial: cannot open /dev/mouse, mouse0: cannot open input device, preinit failed for input "Mouse0"
[05:32] <francois> olafski: ah thats ok,
[05:32] <francois> olafski: we'll fix that
[05:32] <Bobsworth> If I want to easily access a directory from my desktop is it best to create a nautilus launcher or a symlink?
[05:32] <francois> olafski: ok, open up the new file,
[05:32] <francois> olafski: change the drivers to nvidia,
[05:32] <olafski> francois: still though, it uses the "nv" driver rather than "nvidia", should that matter?
[05:32] <francois> olafski: did you do the Xorg -configure first ?
[05:32] <olafski> francois: yes
[05:32] <francois> olafski: ok
[05:32] <secion8> HymnToLife, From synaptics, I also then ran a script from http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=bcm+4318
[05:32] <olafski> francois: now editing the xorg.conf.new and changed the driver to nvidia
[05:33] <francois> olafski: ok, theres another step, let me look itup
[05:33] <jpjacobs> olafski, with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg you can often solve the problem
[05:33] <lordkeiden> HymnToLife: my wifi works fine, but the gui lies... the reason that seems importand t me is cuz gui's make me feel warm and fuzzy... i an moving this hard drive to a new lappy and i know i will need to remove the current driver and setup the new card in the new lappy. i can go to the cold baren terminal...but it scares me. the word terminal has something to do with it i think
[05:33] <olafski> jpjacobs: thanks, I did try that earlier and it didn't help much I'm afraid
[05:33] <francois> olafski: for the mouse, change the line to /dev/input/mice
[05:34] <olafski> francois: done
[05:34] <HymnToLife> lordkeiden, if you don't like the terminal, Ubuntu is not for you
[05:34] <AlexC_> HymnToLife: I wouldn't say that really,
[05:34] <francois> olafski: is the driver mouse, and protocol set to auto ?
[05:34] <HymnToLife> I would
[05:35] <olafski> francois: aye.. but just a sec, says I can't save the file.. guess I should've edited as root :)
[05:35] <AlexC_> HymnToLife: If you don't like terminal, Gentoo isn't for you! I would agree with that ... but Ubuntu....you can do most without terminal
[05:35] <francois> olafski: lol yeah ok,
[05:35] <HymnToLife> AlexC_, most, not all
[05:35] <olafski> francois: done
[05:35] <secion8> HymnToLife, Is there a command to completely clean the ndiswrapper out and reinstall?
[05:35] <genii> the command-line is your friend :)
[05:35] <francois> olafski: ok, so you change the mouse, and the nvidia driver, ?
[05:35] <olafski> francois: yes
[05:35] <HymnToLife> secion8, IIRC, sudo ndiswrapper -r driver_name
[05:36] <lordkeiden> of all the linux distros, ubuntu is in a class by itself. up and above the rest, imho. i'm not leaving. but the terminal is so differant that cmd in win2k... my old comfort zone...
[05:36] <HymnToLife> then remove your ndiswrapper packages
[05:36] <francois> olafski: ok now do Xorg -config xorg.conf.new
[05:36] <HymnToLife> (but keep the tarball with the Windows drivers)
[05:36] <secion8> Yes I agree, If you want to run linux, you need to be somewhat comfy with a terminal.
[05:36] <lordkeiden> guess I'll have to study a bit  =(
[05:36] <olafski> francois: back to the old "failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!"
[05:36] <CarinArr> olafski: have you tried envy?
[05:37] <olafski> CarinArr: I assume I didn't, unless it implicitly did that at some point ;)
[05:37] <CarinArr> !envy | olafski
[05:37] <ubotu> olafski: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[05:37] <Bobsworth> Can anybody answer my question? ^^ Launcher or symlink?
[05:37] <secion8> HymnToLife, Thank you I will try that now
[05:37] <olafski> CarinArr: thanks, I'll bookmark that one and try it if francois runs out of options before this works ;)
[05:38] <HymnToLife> secion8, then follow these instructions, and nothing else :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[05:38] <HymnToLife> (and please don't use this script)
[05:38] <genii> Bobsworth I like symlinks
[05:38] <francois> olafski: gimme a sec
[05:39] <joeljkp> what's the easiest, least obtrusive way to get a sendmail program on ubuntu?
[05:39] <francois> olafski: are you running dapper ?
[05:39] <hsn> hello.i wanna connet vpn server to my notebook.i us' ubuntu 6.10
[05:39] <joeljkp> i don't want to receive mail, process mail, anything, just be able to send it with a script
[05:39] <Gl3nn> Can someone help me with the setup for wireless in Ubuntu? I can setup WEP, but can not set up WPA. Have installed wpa_supplicant, but still WPA don't work. Network manager is also installed. The card is a Linksys WMP54G v4.. Help me please :) msg..
[05:39] <olafski> francois: no, edgy
[05:40] <CarinArr> olafski: it automatically removes remnants of old versions and puts things in the right place
[05:40] <Bobsworth> The problem with a symlink would be that if it were later deleted things could break
[05:40] <renelies> hello :)
[05:40] <lordkeiden> what is a goot site to unbiased reviews of linux apps and the windows counterparts? and to get reviews of linux apps that just work, and ones that are still too raw to give to a computer (not just linux) newbie?
[05:40] <CarinArr> i haven't had a single nvidia problem since i started using envy for install
[05:41] <hsn> help please.i wanna using vpn
[05:41] <olafski> CarinArr: looks good, but after all the time francois has put into my case I'd prefer to let him handle things until he doesn't want to anymore ;)
[05:41] <francois> olafski: going to send you my xorg file
[05:41] <renelies> If somebody could help me with uninstalling mpt-status, that would be nice :) It expects a daemon to be running, but there isn't
[05:41] <renelies> so apt-get fails
[05:41] <Canute_> I have kind of a strange problem. I have mounted a directory using FUSE sshfs. If i try to edit that textfile with gedit it refuses to save (something about not having write permission), however if i use nano it works like it should.
[05:42] <olafski> francois: in pastebin or dcc?
[05:42] <webben> Canute_, happens to me all the time
[05:42] <francois> olafski: pastebin,
[05:42] <webben> Canute_, I don't think I've filed a bug, but you might like to.
[05:42] <olafski> francois: excellent :)
[05:42] <webben> Canute_, I used gvim ... and it never seems to happen with that.
[05:42] <webben> just gedit
[05:42] <Canute_> webben, does it only happen with mounted directories?
[05:42] <webben> Canute_, I haven't experimented with other editors. Yes only seems to happen with FUSE.
[05:43] <lordkeiden> wow...did my last post sound like i is an iliterate indian or what?!
[05:43] <Gl3nn> Have someone a Linksys WMP54G v4 card, and WPA-encryption enabled?
[05:43] <alex_> hey I have just upgraded to edgy but I seem to have problems with windows, when I open a terminal I have its window in the top left corner of the screen
[05:43] <ircusr> hi greyghost
[05:43] <francois> olafski: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4298/
[05:44] <francois> olafski: copy that to your xorg, but keeping your make and model of video card
[05:44] <Canute_> webben, hm, okay. Got any good php editors to recommend? gedit was ok for me ;)
[05:44] <alex_> I don't seem to be able to have the right click menu neither
[05:44] <olafski> francois: just keep those 2 lines?
[05:44] <francois> olafski: reinstall the drivers, and don't override the xorg file,
[05:44] <francois> olafski: yeah,
[05:45] <olafski> francois: so "VendorName" and "BoardName"?
[05:45] <webben> Canute_, Yes... gvim. Also should try out emacs.
[05:45] <webben> but mainly gvim
[05:45] <alex_> where I should be looking at ? and what for ?
[05:45] <webben> Canute_, some people like bluefish and quanta
[05:45] <francois> olafski: yeah, thats should be enough, just keep the rest
[05:45] <renelies> yeah :)
[05:46] <renelies> Now... how to install mpt-status 1.2 when it's not in the repository?
[05:46] <Canute_> webben, thanks
[05:46] <francois> renelies: you can download the .deb file
[05:47] <Supre_Me> hi! I've been having some problems with my harddisk lately and now I want to reinstall my Ubuntu but keep my home partition as usual. But the partition manager won't apply the new partition settings. It doesn't hang or anything but it doesn't apply them. What can I do?
[05:47] <renelies> francois: and if there isn't, should I compile thing by hand then? (what's not a big deal, but I do think i'm missing some dependencies in that way)
[05:47] <usr13> I'm trying to backup a laptop HD onto nfs share using command "dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip - > /pub/image.gz"  and it's taking a LONG time.
[05:47] <usr13> Is there something I could have done that would have been faster.
[05:47] <francois> renelies: yeah, i guess thats the only other way for you to get it,
[05:48] <usr13> (It is wireless link)
[05:48] <renelies> ok... acceptable :)
[05:48] <francois> olafski: and ?
[05:48] <francois> olafski: did it crash and walk away on you ?
[05:49] <olafski> francois: I only just managed to get that file to my ubuntu pc
[05:49] <usr13> But, really, I'm more concerned with accuracy than speed... so... well, just killing time and thought I'd see if there's a better way than how I'm doing it?
[05:49] <francois> olafski: ok
[05:49] <olafski> francois: changed the boardname, now what do I do to reinstall the driver again?
[05:49] <Foolish> In fedora I can use mount -t cifs to mount a samba share. Doing this in ubuntu results in a message saying: wrong fs type. What am I missing?
[05:49] <olafski> francois: rerun that shell script?
[05:49] <unop> usr13,  you have quite a few things working against speed .. first one nfs, second the wireless link and third the compression over these media
[05:49] <francois> olafski: type sh nvidiainstaller.run
[05:50] <usr13> unop: suggestions? _________________
[05:50] <olafski> alright doing that now
[05:50] <renelies> hmm :)
[05:50] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,hello
[05:50] <unop> Foolish,  the canonical name for cifs is smbfs .. try that instead
[05:50] <usr13> unop: what would have been faster than nfs?
[05:50] <SmAcKaSs> Hymn -- still here?
[05:51] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,and thanks .. i didn know ppl knew me in here :)
[05:51] <unop> usr13,  well, i should imagine it is faster if you create the backup image locally and then transfer it over to the nfs share later .. but it's not going to give you anything substantial
[05:51] <Lanny> ol
[05:51] <renelies> francois: how to verify dependencies before installing from a .deb?
[05:51] <ircusr> well, i do
[05:51] <ircusr> :)
[05:51] <francois> renelies: it'll calculate them when you run the install
[05:51] <GreyGhost> :)
[05:51] <olafski> francois: the exact same error again :s
[05:51] <usr13> unop: not possible to create it locally, (It is a laptop).
[05:51] <francois> olafski: whats the error again ?
[05:51] <cisco1> here's a question... why isn't bittorrent-gui available? because of wxgtk? because that's insane.
[05:51] <renelies> francois: but i don't know if I want to install it when, let's say it installs about 100 extra packages
[05:51] <renelies> :)
[05:51] <francois> olafski: did you make sure you dindt' overide the xorg ?
[05:51] <unop> usr13,  errm, well, i think you just have to brave it out then .. it's going as fast as it can go
[05:51] <olafski> francois: can't load the kernel module, screens found but none have a usable configuration
[05:52] <usr13> Trying to make do with what I have.
[05:52] <olafski> francois: I put that file you gave me in my home dir and started with "sudo X -config /home/olafski/xorg.conf"
[05:52] <francois> X ? or Xorg ?
[05:52] <cisco1> doesn't matter
[05:52] <olafski> francois: X
[05:52] <cisco1> anybody? bittorrent?
[05:53] <usr13> unop: Ok, just wondering if there was anything I could have done that would have made the process go a little faster. (But I'm pretty much stuck with copying it to a nfs share.)
[05:53] <renelies> ok
[05:53] <renelies> it's alright
[05:53] <secion8> HymnToLife, I have reinstalled and still get FATAL: module ndiswrapper command not found
[05:53] <renelies> it does nothing until dependencies are fixed
[05:53] <francois> olafski: does Xorg work instead ? if it does, do that
[05:53] <renelies> thnx :)
[05:53] <BetaCookies> brb, switching to KDE
[05:53] <secion8> I dont get it
[05:53] <unop> usr13,  errm, you using gzip?
[05:54] <olafski> francois: let's try
[05:54] <HymnToLife> secion8, that's really weird, did you follow exactly the link I sent you ?
[05:54] <secion8> HymnToLife, that is when i run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:54] <olafski> francois: same thing
[05:54] <ndee> is it somehow possible to decrypt songs bought in the itunes music store?
[05:54] <francois> olafski: ok, a sec
[05:54] <HymnToLife> ndee, yes, but illegal
[05:54] <thespirit> is there any way to install redhat packages in ubuntu?
[05:54] <secion8> HymnToLife, I missed the link, Send it again I will check it out, Sorry.
[05:54] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell thespirit about rpm | thespirit, see the private message from ubotu.
[05:55] <hiro_> hmm, I just got a small problem. I cannot open the terminal anymore. I see the terminal down at the bar and it says "Starting terminal" for about 5-7 seconds. Then it disappear..
[05:55] <minskmaz> Hi I'm having a lot of difficulty getting my ldap server set up. I'm using the standard ubuntu openLDAP configuration file with minor edits for rootdn and rootpw
[05:55] <secion8> I just reinstalled
[05:55] <ndee> HymnToLife: oh ok. That sux :D I think I have to boot windows, start qtfairuse and convert them :D
[05:55] <HymnToLife> secion8, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[05:55] <minskmaz> can anyone lend a hand with looking at this with me
[05:55] <HymnToLife> ndee, I think so too
[05:55] <cisco1> does ubuntu support any normal bittorrent clients?
[05:55] <HymnToLife> cisco1, define "normal"
[05:55] <apokryphos> !torrent
[05:55] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt)  -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[05:55] <francois> olafski: do modprode nvidia
[05:55] <unop> minskmaz,  you should ask in #ldap
[05:56] <cisco1> bittorrent and bittornado
[05:56] <secion8> HymnToLife, Reading now, Will let you know. Thanx
[05:56] <olafski> francois: sh: /sbin/lrm-video: not found
[05:56] <olafski> francois: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[05:56] <thespirit> what way is it dangerous to install rpm in ubuntu?
[05:56] <cisco1> it's not dangerous, it just might not work.
[05:56] <juano__> thespirit: you can use alien
[05:57] <Herrfalcor> http://youtube.com/watch?v=PV4Hzjl2OL4 <-- a whole Pablo comedy show, brilliant :)
[05:57] <hiro_> anyone know whats wrong when i cant open the terminal anymore?
[05:57] <juano__> thespirit: there are some packages that will work, others wont
[05:57] <thespirit> oh ill try it out aand come back
[05:57] <unop> thespirit,  well, debian differs quite substantially from redhat/mandrake for which the .rpms were created .. some of the directory structure is quite substantially different .. so installing an rpm on a debian system is likely to place the files in the wrong places and whatnot
[05:58] <renelies> anywho... i'm gone again
[05:58] <renelies> cu
[05:58] <cisco1> that and dependencies...
[05:58] <thespirit> i want to install ymsger _1.0.4
[05:58] <secion8> HymnToLife, Ok first thing it says is for x86 only, I am running AMD64 w/ 64 bit ubuntu.  Guess that could do it. :( I followed the link for 64 bit but it was dead. Any Advice?
[05:58] <thespirit> .deb file
[05:58] <cisco1> so, no bittorrent clients then?
[05:58] <secion8> Should have mentioned that
[05:58] <AlexC_> thespirit: just double click it,
[05:59] <unop> thespirit, thats yahoo messenger right?
[05:59] <thespirit> it says dependendyis not satisfiable : libssl0.9.6
[05:59] <francois> olafski: try to stop your kdm managger again,
[05:59] <olafski> francois: this might be a bit late by the way, but I'm running the 32 bit version of kubuntu on a 64 bit CPU, dunno if that matters?
[05:59] <francois> olafski: i have a feeling it might be running
[05:59] <thespirit> ive tried installing it through apt
[05:59] <alex_> what daemon deals with the windows in edgy ?
[05:59] <olafski> francois: it is indeed running
[05:59] <thespirit> yes
[05:59] <unop> thespirit,  thats another thing with installing .rpms .. the dependencies are not installed
[05:59] <thespirit> it is yahoo msgr
[05:59] <AlexC_> alex_: metacity ?
[05:59] <francois> olafski: stop it,
[05:59] <unop> thespirit,  you need to install libssl manually
[06:00] <francois> olafski: and run the install of the drivers again,
[06:00] <thespirit> unop, but how?
[06:00] <francois> olafski: maybe it was running last time we installed
[06:00] <thespirit> only libss.0..7 is available
[06:00] <olafski> francois: it probably was, I still don't want to overwrite the xorg.conf?
[06:00] <alex_> AlexC_: I seem to have a problem with my windows,should I look in the log of metacity then ?
[06:00] <unop> thespirit,  IIRC, yahoo gives .tar.gz tarball of yahoo messenger that is not platform dependent
[06:00] <francois> olafski: well, just make sure you're using the one i sent you,
[06:00] <olafski> alright
[06:00] <cisco1> wow....
[06:00] <unop> thespirit,  sudo aptitude install libssl
[06:00] <thespirit> then
[06:00] <AlexC_> alex_: I would, or just ask about the problem your having in here
[06:00] <francois> olafski: and that its placed in /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[06:01] <thespirit> jus a sec

[06:01] <ubotu> mikeballas: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:01] <alex_> AlexC_: I did but noone answered: I just upgraded to edgy and I have a problems with windows, they all opens in the left top corner and they dont have the bar with the three buttons
[06:01] <francois> olafski: so that error was when you tried to start kdm ? or startx ? or installing the drivers ?
[06:02] <olafski> francois: I did startx this time
[06:02] <AlexC_> alex_: sounds to me like Metacity isn't even loading,
[06:02] <francois> olafski: yeah try modprobe
[06:02] <alex_> AlexC_: ok I look into it thanks
[06:02] <cisco1> jesus christ, there aren't any in your little repositories? what kind of distro is this?
[06:02] <thespirit> unop, this is the thing i get "Reading package lists... Done

[06:02] <thespirit> Package libssl is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[06:05] <seravitae> hey, how can i 'unblock' my soundcard, it says a program is in use but it isn't.
[06:06] <olafski> francois: is it ok if we continue this later or something? my dinner is done :/
[06:06] <seravitae> i just got out of a game that uses my soundcard so i assume it's because of that
[06:06] <francois> olafski: sure, i got to go to school
[06:06] <cisco1> ircusr: what client do you use?
[06:06] <francois> olafski: you should try the envy script, see what happens
[06:06] <AlexC_> zdogde: you do realise that Feisty is in development and should not be used on a normal, every day PC, also #ubuntu+1 feisty talk
[06:06] <unop> seravitae,  check to see if esd is running -- ps aux | grep -i esd
[06:06] <francois> olafski: email me at agoole@hotmail.com if you need more help
[06:06] <olafski> francois: excellent, thanks in advance :) I will try envy, thanks for your time and see you later

[06:06] <x-r00t-x> hey can anyone help me?
[06:06] <AlexC_> no
[06:07] <AlexC_> Ask a question!!!!!!!!!
[06:07] <unop> seravitae,  you sure you closed down all sound applications including browsers, instant messengers, etc?
[06:07] <Commander-Crowe> Hi, whenever i download something via apt-get or synaptics it slows down to like 6KB/s and then for a few seconds back up to its normal speed. Help?
[06:07] <unop> !ask | x-r00t-x
[06:07] <ubotu> x-r00t-x: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:07] <x-r00t-x> umm ok. i got problem with ext3-fs.
[06:07] <sts> AlexC_: i asked a question :)
[06:07] <seravitae> unop: yeah. ive had this happen before.. i just played ut2k4
[06:07] <cisco1> seravitae: just rmmod and modprobe your soundcard module.
[06:07] <thespirit> unop, i have downloADED .DEB FILE
[06:07] <seravitae> how can i bring my sound down and up again?
[06:07] <seravitae> i wonder what my sound module is
[06:07] <puggy> I recently installed ubuntu edgy and I only seem to have sun-java6 available to me. How do I get sun-java5?
[06:08] <IdleOne> seravitae: with the volume control
[06:08] <AlexC_> sts: I was refering to someone else as they were asking for someone to help them and not asking a question
[06:08] <cisco1> so... it's safe to assume that i'll be uninstalling ubuntu because the repository doesn't have any gui bittorrent clients then... right?
[06:08] <x-r00t-x> see nobody anser me.
[06:08] <IdleOne> puggy: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre
[06:08] <x-r00t-x> i cannot run ubuntu..
[06:08] <sts> AlexC_: i asked by nobody replyed :-P
[06:08] <sts> AlexC_: just kidding ;-)
[06:08] <OneOfTheMany> !ask | x_r00t-x
[06:08] <AlexC_> x-r00t-x: probably because "I got a prooblem" is not a question ... ask your question, then you will get help
[06:08] <ubotu> x_r00t-x: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:08] <seravitae> IdleOne, cisco1, unop - it just fixed itself. :)
[06:08] <x-r00t-x> Alexc90i never see you here
[06:08] <seravitae> guess it just needed some time.
[06:09] <puggy> IdleOne: java5 is not in my sources at all.

[06:09] <infu> hello

[06:10] <daveyates> cisco1: apt-cache search bittorrent
[06:11] <IdleOne> cisco1: search synaptic for torrent and they should all come up
[06:11] <Commander-Crowe> hbaigu oh ok
[06:11] <lskd-255> when upgrading ones video card, should one be aware of a single prevailing or a variety of possible problems that may arise?
[06:11] <puggy> So has java5 been removed from ubuntu edgy?
[06:11] <cisco1> wow, all of these have a humongous amount of deps
[06:12] <IdleOne> puggy: you have the universe and multiverse repos enabled Im assuming
[06:12] <puggy> IdleOne: yup
[06:12] <bauer77> can anyone recommend a good program for playing movie clips etc...other than Totem?
[06:12] <unop> puggy,  errm, no, you probably havent enabled the multiverse repository
[06:12] <AlexC_> bauer77: vlc
[06:12] <thespirit> unop, Error:Dependecy is not satasfiable: libssl0.9.6
[06:12] <mikeballas> anyone help me out on a PPC install, having major problems with powerbook livecd install?
[06:12] <nothlit> bauer77: vlc, mplayer, totem-xine
[06:13] <bauer77> thanks
[06:13] <IdleOne> puggy try apt-cache search sun-java5-jre see if it comes up
[06:13] <AlexC_> !anyone | mikeballas
[06:13] <ubotu> mikeballas: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:13] <puggy> IdleOne: it doesn't
[06:13] <bauer77> ah xine is the one I forgot about...thank you
[06:13] <IdleOne> puggy: I dont understand why because I am running edgy and it is there
[06:13] <nothlit> bauer77: totem-xine is better than gxine/xine-ui
[06:13] <unop> thespirit,  try this - sudo aptitude install libssl=0.9.6 libssl0.9.6
[06:13] <mikeballas> My livecd keeps stalling into a white screen when i put in the cd, tried the 6.10 edgy ppc and alternate cd, no luck , cant seem to get the installer booting up, any ideas?????
[06:14] <puggy> unop: If I look in synaptic there are multiverse packages there, so it must be enabled.
[06:14] <unop> puggy,  do or dont you have the multiverse repo enabled?
[06:14] <cisco2> so, it's either i manually install azureus - or i install this gigantic gnome frontend
[06:14] <cisco2> fantastic
[06:14] <unop> puggy,  well, all these packages are in the multiverse repo - http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin//search_packages.pl?version=edgy&subword=1&exact=&arch=any&releases=all&case=insensitive&keywords=java5&searchon=names
[06:14] <Myk0> is there a PPC support channel?
[06:14] <Ramunas> is it just me or beryl is broken after last update on edgy?
[06:15] <AlexC_> Myk0: for Ubuntu....your in it,
[06:15] <Kajin> cisco2: Manually install Azureus? sudo apt-get install azureus should be enough to get everything working.
[06:15] <Se2> this xubuntu is so slow ...
[06:15] <Myk0> Alexc, i cant seem to get live cd running i am totally out of options read everything on the forums
[06:15] <puggy> unop: java6 isn't on that list.
[06:15] <Myk0> i tried livecd, edgy , and alternate ppc cds
[06:15] <thespirit> unop, Unable to find a version "0.9.6" for the package "libssl"
[06:15] <puggy> unop: even when I modify the search
[06:15] <AlexC_> Myk0: I know, you just asked your question about a minute ago =)
[06:15] <genii> Myk0 Since the operating system runs the same regardless of platform, most questions can just be asked here
[06:15] <IdleOne> Myk0: you holding the C down when booting?
[06:15] <Myk0> hehe
[06:15] <Myk0> thanks genii
[06:15] <thespirit> and then something very lenghty happenedd
[06:15] <unop> puggy,  errm, sorry, did you say java5 or java6?
[06:15] <genii> Ah to boot off cd, yes :)
[06:16] <Myk0> so any explainations towards the stall on the white screen?
[06:16] <mikea> I've just install ubuntu 6.10 without using mouse. I used touchpad but I haven't touchpad configuration section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Instead of it I has mouse section. How can I turn off touchpad in this situation??
[06:16] <puggy> unop: I have java6 because that's what was available, I want java5.
[06:16] <thespirit> the last line was Writing extended state information... Done
[06:16] <cisco2> Kaj: it's not in my repo
[06:16] <Myk0> i was wondering if its my video card thats causing the issue
[06:16] <puggy> unop: but I'm suggesting that list is out of date as I'm being offered 6 and not 5.
[06:16] <Se2> how to install amarok with terminal?
[06:17] <unop> puggy,  you using edgy?
[06:17] <IdleOne> Se2: sudo aptitude install amarok
[06:17] <Se2> thanks
[06:17] <x-r00t-x> ok here we go
[06:17] <St3ffen> what's a good irc client for ubuntu?
[06:17] <Se2> but how to search with terminal programs
[06:17] <x-r00t-x> x-chat
[06:17] <Kajin> St3ffen: irssi
[06:17] <IdleOne> St3ffen: xchat irssi bitchX there are plenty
[06:17] <alecjw> hi. when i set my sound card driver to ALSA, i get this error and nothign happens: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4305/ i'm using OSS instead, but it only allows me to u se 1 program at once and doesnt give me very good quality sound.
[06:17] <bauer77> what command do I use to search for a file name on the computer?
[06:17] <unop> thespirit,  well, there were two packages to be installed there -- libssl0.9.6 should have been installed -- verify with this command - dpkg -l | grep -i libssl
[06:18] <adam_> Ok. So I installed Xubuntu. It took ages. Then I fire it up, on my G3 iBook, and find: 1) No trash can. 2) I can't install OpenOffice in any easy way. 3) That when try to change the settings in the top left window, it just closes at its whim, before I can even read the list. 4) The help included stinks. So now I'm here. Anyone care to tell me how to, say, delete a file from my desktop?
[06:18] <lordkeiden> what do i unstall to be able to control cpu speed, like for power management?
[06:18] <St3ffen> okay, thanks
[06:18] <x-r00t-x> the error is ext3-fs: error loading journal. anyone can help me?
[06:18] <puggy> unop: Yes.
[06:18] <luckyone> exit
[06:18] <lskd-255> St3ffen, are you hardcore?  Load BitchX if so.
[06:18] <cisco2> okay, that gnome frontend that installed all of the useless gnome libraries was worthless- is there anything other than azureus (which i wouldn't want to install even if it were in the repository)
[06:19] <St3ffen> mmmh, i think i'll try irssi
[06:19] <IdleOne> Se2: apt-cache search amarok
[06:19] <puggy> unop: I've just noticed that in my config with multiverse it specifies the repository as edgy-backports, should that be in addition to edgy multiverse
[06:19] <thespirit> unop, libssl0.9.6 is not installed
[06:19] <unop> puggy,  let's have a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list then -- please !pastebin

[06:19] <unop> thespirit,  is there a specific reason you want yahoo messenger? doesnt gaim do it for you?

[06:20] <thespirit> i want to see my baby in the webcam

[06:27] <AlexC_> St3ffen: the Beryl wiki has a great guide on installing ... let me get a link
[06:27] <lskd-255> HeXiLed, bitchX ?
[06:27] <alecjw> x-r00t-x, i've read that i need to chmod /dev/audio and /dev/dsp to 666 to make it work, but i still get nothing. the sound manager works if i gksudo it....
[06:27] <HeXiLed> nop
[06:27] <AlexC_> St3ffen: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu
[06:27] <steel_lady> AlexC, my question is a bit specific. I have seen people doing something, I can not reach them to ask but I need to do it again. I need to mount hard disk of another machine in the window of Conquer
[06:27] <St3ffen> thanks!
[06:28] <St3ffen> so, i have to install xgl first, and then beryl?
[06:28] <HeXiLed> its simple. lets say that there are 2 people logged by ssh
[06:28] <HeXiLed> and thet want to chat like that
[06:28] <AlexC_> St3ffen: yes, all is explained here: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu

[06:29] <HeXiLed> checking
[06:29] <AlexC_> St3ffen: yes, of course - try it and see
[06:29] <St3ffen> okay, great :)
[06:29] <Myk0> seems as if livecd, and alternate live cd doesnt work for me, just stalls
[06:29] <AlexC_> !anyone | Myk0
[06:29] <ubotu> Myk0: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:29] <morti1s> alexc_, would you happen to have an idea of whether i should just go with x86 32 bit on my intel core 2 duo?
[06:29] <MarcN> St3ffen: those beryl instructions are very good.  A little more work if you are using dual screen.
[06:29] <ircusr> is it possible to boot ubuntu from a usb hard drive?
[06:29] <jackson> hi...is there a way i can configure a bittorrent client to recognise torrent files?..thx
[06:29] <morti1s> ircusr, if your motherboard supports it
[06:29] <ircusr> it does
[06:29] <morti1s> then yes
[06:29] <ircusr> how do i do it
[06:30] <IdleOne> ircusr: only if your bios support usb boot
[06:30] <ircusr> ah
[06:30] <morti1s> well, install it to the usb disk, and boot from it
[06:30] <AlexC_> morti1s: please, next time just ask everyone instead of just me =) But I would suggest getting the 32bit Ubuntu instead of 64bit, I run 32bit on my Core 2 Duo
[06:30] <ircusr> but i dont want to use the entire usb disk
[06:30] <linuxnewbie756> where is the text file i need to put a # in front of or something like that to enable backport repositories?
[06:30] <morti1s> alexc_, i did - no answer!
[06:30] <ircusr> i should partition it?
[06:30] <dcordes_> what do i need to install in order to get multi language and keyboard layout support in KDE?
[06:30] <morti1s> ircusr, yes
[06:30] <dcordes_> (i came from gnome)
[06:30] <dcordes_> edgy
[06:30] <ircusr> ok
[06:30] <Myk0> Alexc_: any ideas ????
[06:30] <xtknight> i'm using 64-bit on a core 2 duo
[06:30] <thespirit> unop help me plz i jus can t wait to see my baby
[06:30] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,i thin an OS running on an USB stic (if thats same as flash..) is gonna kill the stick soon ...
[06:30] <morti1s> xtknight, amd64 iso?
[06:31] <bryroz> Hey whats up I have a question i need some people to ponder the answer to.  My keyboard's right arrrow key does not work on my computer, however it used to.  And it works fine on other comps.  I dont have an apcid in bum and im a noob.  brian@celtrust.com is my email please email me with a detailed description of how i could fix it or ignore me and i will suffer the powned noob fate
[06:31] <steel_lady> AlexC_ I forgot to tell you I am at my work conected to the network of my organization and I have username and pass for that other machine
[06:31] <xtknight> although 32-bit is faster on the core 2 duo due to macro fusion (it combines instructions to speed up).  that could account for 5-10% performance increase on a core 2 duo in 32-bit mode
[06:31] <ircusr> why you say that greyghsot?
[06:31] <xtknight> morti1s: yes
[06:31] <AlexC_> Myk0: No, I was purly pointing out the fact that saying "Anyone help me install Ubuntu on PPC" will not help you - Ask your main question instead
[06:31] <unop> thespirit,  one sec
[06:31] <morti1s> xtknight, so why are you running 64 if 32 would be faster?
[06:31] <Myk0> ah ok
[06:31] <unop> puggy,  you there? http://pastebin.ca/341450
[06:31] <AlexC_> Myk0: I'd like to help but I have no expirance of installing Ubuntu on PPC,
[06:32] <xtknight> morti1s: because i want to run a 64-bit virtual machine and i need a 64-bit host for that
[06:32] <unop> thespirit,   where did you place that .deb file you downloaded?
[06:32] <Myk0> no worries thanks , just feel kinda bad repeating the question so often until someone responds
[06:32] <GreyGhost> ircusr , maybe cos .. the OS is gonna keep writing stuff over and over again on the drive... and i dont really know how much they can take..(though i maybe totally mistaken..)
[06:32] <morti1s> xtknight, ah, valid point, but if you didn't you'd run 32?
[06:32] <steel_lady> Is it possible to install ubuntu on PPC???
[06:32] <AlexC_> yes, of course
[06:32] <xtknight> morti1s: almost certainly
[06:32] <ircusr> damn
[06:32] <morti1s> xtknight, alexc_, thanks for the input, much appreciated
[06:32] <puggy> unop: k, will try,
[06:32] <AlexC_> steel_lady: Linux runs on many many many architectures,
[06:32] <Myk0> Been trying to install ubuntu PPC, system keeps getting a white screen every time it runs the LIVECD, used alternate cd too on 6.10 any ideas guys???
[06:33] <ircusr> i've been running ubuntu from my usb drive using virtualization
[06:33] <GreyGhost> ircusr , i am not really sure myself.. i picked that up at #ros ..
[06:33] <ircusr> can that kill my usb drive?
[06:33] <ircusr> ah
[06:33] <morti1s> what are the real advantages of 64 bit, except memory allocation?
[06:33] <Khem> if I leave my machine running over weekend idling its dead on monday I have Edgy installed :(
[06:33] <Khem> How can I see what went wrong
[06:33] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,if that didnt kill ur drive.. i dont think installing it will ;)
[06:33] <Khem> I have to hard boot it
[06:33] <steel_lady> AlexC_and how does it work with installing other programs on PPC in Ubuntu, I suppose there are still much less programs than on woin
[06:33] <ircusr> well, my drive is not dead i think
[06:33] <puggy> unop: it was as I expected, I hadn't got main multiverse. Thanks a lot.
[06:33] <ircusr> then what are usb drives good for?
[06:34] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,then i suppose its not a problem ..
[06:34] <ircusr> i have a 250gb usb drive
[06:34] <thespirit> unop, on the desktop
[06:34] <steel_lady> AlexC_can you help me with this window mounting, I have a lot of work I have to do
[06:34] <AlexC_> steel_lady: afaik, you'd need to install a PPC version of software
[06:34] <xtknight> morti1s: bigger gprs (general purpose registers)
[06:34] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,i dont have any ..so i'm not sure..
[06:34] <GreyGhost> ;)
[06:34] <AlexC_> steel_lady: ask the entire channel, not just me.
[06:34] <pbureau> Khem, check dmesg or /var/log/messages
[06:34] <unop> thespirit,  ok, try this command -- sudo dpkg -i --force-all file.deb
[06:34] <ircusr> ah
[06:34] <slyfox> Need help - when I choose seesion type and Console - the only thing I get is a black screen. I tried to press cntrl+alt+F1 and nothing happens. I also tried this from my normal session: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop   and I again get a balck screen, cntrl+alt+F1 does nothing. The only thing that works on that balck screen is CTRL+ALT+Delete to estart my laptop. That is it. Help.
[06:34] <morti1s> xtknight, i see, thanks
[06:35] <unop> puggy,  yea, i suspected you were missing a section or two -- but your sources.list was all over the place hence the one i suggested
[06:35] <GreyGhost> ircusr ,but if i read correctly ..there are some distros that wok off usb drives... so i suppose its fine to use ..
[06:35] <d0dge> I can't find almost anything through apt-get and I've tried apt-get update, but it doesn't work
[06:36] <thespirit> jus a sec the dpkg pack is being used by synaptic
[06:36] <torrrrr> I dont have any network
[06:36] <ircusr> ah
[06:36] <Myk0> why does PPC architecture give so much trouble :(
[06:36] <Khem> pbureau: checked but found nothing related to it freezing
[06:36] <ircusr> thanks for the tips!
[06:36] <puggy> unop: thanks again
[06:36] <d0dge> Can anyone help me with this? When I update, It goes thru some list and "Fetched 3B in 0s (4B/s) "

[06:36] <d0dge> GreyGhost: I found aterm and Eterm in Kubuntu, but can't find it in ubuntu :D
[06:36] <unop> puggy,  yw :)
[06:36] <Hoosteen> quick question..anybody know how to disable the touchpad clicking on a laptop?
[06:36] <d0dge> GreyGhost: Same source ?
[06:36] <steel_lady> I asked alrerady several times: I need to mount another machine's hard disk in the window, to be able to do windows-type put and get files through that window. I have username and pass of the other machine. I have see people do it 2 ways: over Conquer browser or through simple folder but I do not know how
[06:37] <GreyGhost>  d0dge , i havent ever used it but they must be in the ubuntu repos as well.. try "apt-cache search aterm"
[06:37] <juano__> steel_lady: you want to mount a remote HDD ?
[06:37] <jharr> how can I see what channels are available?
[06:37] <steel_lady> yes juano
[06:37] <unop> steel_lady,  what OS does the other computer run?
[06:38] <IdleOne> jharr: /list
[06:38] <juano__> steel_lady: what is the remote machine ? windows ?>
[06:38] <d0dge> GreyGhost: It does nothing
[06:38] <Myk0> sorry for asking again: Been trying to install ubuntu 6.10 on a PPC powerbook, every time i boot the livecd i get stuch at a white screen , no installer, tried the alternate cd aswell no luck, any ideas?
[06:38] <GreyGhost> d0dge ,is this an out of the box Ubuntu install ?
[06:38] <jharr> IdleOne: can I search it somehow?
[06:38] <Hoosteen> anybody know how to disable the touchpad clicking on a laptop?
[06:39] <steel_lady> I am at work where they have red hat network, I am on my laptop runing Ubuntu and I need to mount the disk of my red hat desktop machine that has its name in the network, I have my username and pass
[06:39] <IdleOne> jharr: /list ubuntu will list all channels with ubuntu in the name
[06:39] <IdleOne> jharr: or it is supoposed to :/
[06:39] <thespirit> unop, Errors were encountered while processing:
[06:39] <juano__> steel_lady: and the smb.conf in your redhat machine, what permissions does it give to the HDD your mounting ?
[06:39] <jharr> IdleOne: yeah, that's what I was thinking
[06:39] <andy912> Hoosteen I guess your talking ubuntu however if its windows this will help http://photography-on-the.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-28494.html
[06:40] <IdleOne> jharr: using xchat?
[06:40] <quaal_mac> does anyone know how to change the installation from one hd to another? for some unknown reason ubuntu changed the root drive from hdd to hdc.
[06:40] <jharr> IdleOne: irssi
[06:40] <quaal_mac> how do i point it to hdc now ?
[06:40] <GreyGhost> d0dge ,yes?
[06:40] <IdleOne> jharr: I dont know irssi but the irc commands should be the same. try #irssi
[06:40] <unop> steel_lady,  well, you can get the red_hat machine to share folders in quite a few ways -- nfs and samba are the two most popular -- if the red_hat machine runs gnome -- run the shares-admin utility to help you with this
[06:40] <steel_lady> juano_ I don't have any idea what are you talking about. I am blonde. whe in principle do not have any permissions there like users. we can not install anything
[06:40] <Hoosteen> andy912: talking ubuntu :D
[06:40] <jharr> IdleOne: thx
[06:41] <IdleOne> jharr: yup
[06:41] <Hoosteen> andy912: thanks though :D
[06:41] <d0dge> GreyGhost: Um, what do you mean? I just downloaded the ISO and installed..
[06:41] <thespirit> unop, Errors were encountered while processing:
[06:41] <Crescendo> If I leave an SSH Nautilus window open, I can't open files after a period of time, and I have to restart.
[06:41] <Crescendo> Is there any way from terminal to kill the ssh connection, and reconnect, fully?
[06:41] <torrrrr> can any oen help me with a network problem?
[06:41] <unop> thespirit,  please !pastebin (not paste in here) those errors you see
[06:42] <steel_lady> unop, I have seen people just mount it like I have mounted other partitions of my disk and you have tpo put user and pass and path to that remote disk somewhere and that's all
[06:42] <juano__> steel_lady: lol, ok. well if you can access the remote PC with user and pass through window sharing and you cant see the HDD the remote pc is sharing it probably is a permission problem
[06:42] <d0dge> GreyGhost: Well thanks for help, I try to install those items myself :)
[06:42] <St3ffen> hi, ive got a question about beryl
[06:42] <GreyGhost>  d0dge yeah thats what i meant... ok try this .. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_add_extra_repositories and then try apt-get install eterm
[06:42] <unop> steel_lady,  well exactly, but firstly you need to have a share on the other machine sharing the folder you want shared before you can do that from this machine
[06:42] <stevenb486> pretty specific question but... in firefox, does anyone know how to change the font size of toolbars and menu bar?
[06:42] <d0dge> GreyGhost: Thanks
[06:43] <unop> steel_lady,  but again, you'll need sufficient permissions to be able to share folders
[06:43] <jharr> IdleOne: heh, chanserv
[06:43] <quaal_mac> ubuntu changed my root install drive from /dev/hdd to /dev/hdc. now it doesnt boot. anyone know how i can change the settings to make it boot from the new /dev/hdc ?
[06:43] <steel_lady> juano_ no, I cen not access it because I don't know how to set that. I have seen it on other computer
[06:43] <IdleOne> jharr: chanserv? whats the command syntax?
[06:43] <sputnik2012> Hi all, anyone know of any free window x11 clients?
[06:43] <jharr> IdleOne: /msg chanserv help
[06:43] <juano__> steel_lady: try sharing the remote HDD from the remote computer
[06:43] <jharr> IdleOne: /msg chanserv list #*blah*
[06:43] <juano__> steel_lady: try sharing it, like you share a folder
[06:43] <unop> stevenb486,  edit -> preferences -> content -> fonts and colors
[06:43] <einPaule> quaal_mac, which bootloader do you use?
[06:43] <quaal_mac> einPaule, grub
[06:43] <IdleOne> jharr: ty good to know :)
[06:44] <steel_lady> unop, from what I remember, they do not put that other disk on share because I can not change any permissions on that disk
[06:44] <GreyGhost> Myk0 ,err.. ure using the ppc build of Ubuntu ?
[06:44] <Crescendo> If I leave an SSH Nautilus window open, I can't open files after a period of time, and I have to restart. Is there any way from terminal to kill the ssh connection, and reconnect, fully?
[06:44] <steel_lady> it goes in the way that you like log on somehow every time
[06:44] <Myk0> Anyone help me with a PPC install issue, downloaded isos of 6.10 PPC and alternate trying to isntall on powerbook , pop in the cd, reboot, and hold c, it seems to read the cd, then load into a WHITE screen and freeze, on all versions
[06:44] <unop> steel_lady,  well, then there is no way you can do what yoou want to do -- except approach the network/system admin and get him/her to do the sharing
[06:44] <andy912> Hoosteen http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-134865.html any help?
[06:44] <xaos> hey, can i use the 2.6.20-6 headers for the new 2.6.20 kernel, or do i have to wait...?
[06:44] <knovak> Myk0, have you tried using version 6.06?
[06:45] <einPaule> edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:45] <einPaule> quaal_mac,
[06:45] <quaal_mac> einPaule, thank you sir
[06:45] <steel_lady> juano_ I can not share because you can share only with desktop computers that are in your working group and it doesn't recognize my laptop as the institute machine and I can not change those permissions
[06:45] <Myk0> knovak no i have not, im downloading it now, you think it might be the issue
[06:45] <torrrrr> if no one can help, I'll just format the disk and install an other distro
[06:45] <Myk0> knovak: though it was the video card that causes the installer to crash
[06:45] <unop> xaos,  you should be able to use them -- but beware of potential problems
[06:45] <knovak> Well, im no expert, but i had issues with the 6.10 cds
[06:46] <_Falkon_> Can someone walk me through installing Open Arena on Edgy?
[06:46] <knovak> but my 6.06 CD worked fine
[06:46] <torrrrr> can any one recomend an other distro?
[06:46] <juano__> steel_lady: ok,, what ip is your laptop set to ?
[06:46] <xaos> i can always recompile the kernel modules later, hopefully
[06:46] <IdleOne> !networking | torrrrr
[06:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about networking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:46] <knovak> and when I tried upgrading to 6.10 after installing 6.06, it only gave me issues... so I recommend sticking to 6.06 Dapper
[06:46] <HymnToLife> _Falkon_, there is a howto in the !forums
[06:46] <steel_lady> unop I can not because admin is not here and I have a lot of work to do. I have seen him to put the network address to the other machine somehow in the address line of conquer and then it asked for my user and pass
[06:46] <_Falkon_> ok thanks
[06:46] <St3ffen> torrrrr: you may try xubuntu or kubuntu
[06:46] <quaal_mac> einPaule, hmm it doesnt have anything there while booted in the livecd
[06:46] <steel_lady> juano_ where can I see it?
[06:46] <jharr> Can someone point me to the right channel for getting help with an automated install (preseed & such)?
[06:46] <quaal_mac> einPaule,  do i need to boot from the HD install
[06:46] <juano__> steel_lady: ifconfig
[06:46] <einPaule> no
[06:47] <juano__> steel_lady: do they use samba over there ?
[06:47] <torrrrr> St3ffen: what is the difference, can't get the network up and running, the infrastructure is the same
[06:47] <einPaule> quaal_mac, do you have the file system mounted (hdd was it?)
[06:47] <thespirit> unop, Setting up ymessenger (1.0.4_1) ...
[06:47] <Myk0> knovak: what type of apple comp are you using? and what issues did you have running 6.10
[06:47] <_Falkon_> btw if someone is having trouble with the cd, use INFRARECORDER and try a few different check boxes (I know you should use buffer underrun protection but uncheck a few other things)
[06:47] <thespirit> thats the last massage
[06:47] <steel_lady> juano_ they do not
[06:47] <crazy_penguin> hi all!
[06:47] <ircusr> hi
[06:47] <_Falkon_> It took me a couple tries burning, but I got one that worked fairly easily
[06:47] <quaal_mac> einPaule, originally i installed it to /dev/hdd yes. now for some reason ubuntu has changed that drive with the ubuntu intallation to /dev/hdc
[06:48] <storeyzy_bio> i want to buy a lcd monitor. where can i find a list of lcd monitor supported by linux?
[06:48] <unop> thespirit,  well, it's likely that yahoo messenger was installed and those were just warnings you saw -- try launching it now
[06:48] <juano__> steel_lady: try smb://machinename
[06:48] <einPaule> did you change the partition table quaal_mac ?
[06:48] <quaal_mac> einPaule, not that i know of.

[06:49] <juano__> steel_lady: or nautilus
[06:49] <visik7> thespirit: why don't you use another client like gaim ?
[06:49] <Ace2016> Anyone here use opera?
[06:49] <juano__> steel_lady: on a nautilus window
[06:49] <juano__> steel_lady: launch nautilus
[06:49] <einPaule> no, you probably did not quaal_mac the order of the drives changed, not a big problem
[06:49] <quaal_mac> Ace2016, i use opera on the mac here and on windows
[06:49] <quaal_mac> Ace2016, been using firefox on ubuntu though
[06:49] <rockzman> can anyone help me to upgrade to feisty?
[06:50] <rockzman> http://pastebin.ca/341469
[06:50] <thespirit> visik, it does not have vedio confferencing
[06:50] <rockzman> what is wrong
[06:50] <einPaule> do you have hdc mounted, quaal_mac
[06:50] <quaal_mac> einPaule, so how do i access the correct /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[06:50] <Ace2016> quaal_mac: does panning work properly when your zoomed?

[06:50] <unop> thespirit,  do not paste into the channel -- now, what command did you use because the one i gave you should not have given you that output
[06:50] <einPaule> go to /media/hdc/boot/grub/
[06:50] <thespirit> but does it suppert yahoo?
[06:50] <quaal_mac> einPaule, hmm in the livecd ?
[06:50] <grumillo> i have sound only on one side, any help? thanks
[06:50] <quaal_mac> einPaule,  let me check
[06:50] <juano__> steel_lady: in the address tab at the top of the window
[06:50] <steel_lady> juano_ looks like it works
[06:50] <rockzman> IdleOne, can you check the pastebin please?
[06:51] <Myk0> knovak: what type of apple comp are you using? and what issues did you have running 6.10
[06:51] <einPaule> yes quaal_mac , if you have the harddrive mounted, it will be there
[06:51] <x-r00t-x> hey can anyone tell me. where is the apt-get download those .deb file to?
[06:51] <visik7> x-r00t-x: /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:51] <juano__> steel_lady: does it ask for user and pass ?
[06:51] <Myk0> anyone have liveCD install issues on PPC with edgy 6.10??
[06:51] <steel_lady> juano_ but it shows only my scratch there
[06:51] <knovak> Myk0: i'm not running an apple comp., I just speak from experience on my PC
[06:51] <thespirit> sudo dpkg -i --force-all file.deb
[06:51] <genii> x-r00t-x: They go to /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:51] <Myk0> ahhhhh
[06:51] <steel_lady> juano_ I actually need my home folder that is shared on all the machines
[06:52] <Myk0> knovak: u have pc issues with 6.10?
[06:52] <juano__> steel_lady: you have to enter the remote pcs name
[06:52] <steel_lady> juano_ yes it asked and then suddenly it pops out only the scratch of all folders
[06:52] <knovak> myk0: yes, I did over the weekend
[06:52] <knovak> So I decided to stick with 6.06
[06:52] <steel_lady> juano_ yes I entered the remote PC name and I see the scratch on that PC
[06:52] <Myk0> knovak: i think it might be different for PPC however..
[06:52] <unop> thespirit,  what does this return -- dpkg -l | grep -i libssl
[06:53] <IdleOne> rockzman: fiesty is not stable or even near stable why do you want to upgrade ? also try #ubuntu+1 for help with fiesty
[06:53] <juano__> steel_lady: ok, what folder do you want to see ?
[06:53] <knovak> Myk0: Perhaps, I have no way of knowing though, I'm just telling you what I know, or at least I think I know...
[06:53] <juano__> steel_lady: i mean, is the HDD you were talking about in there ?
[06:53] <quaal_mac> einPaule, /dev/hdc1 is the ext3 partition. so sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/ubuntu ?
[06:53] <rockzman> IdleOne, did you saw the pastebin?
[06:53] <rockzman> see*
[06:54] <Myk0> i am trying to install PPC 6.10 edgy using the desktop iso and alternate iso on my powerbook g4, and when i reboot with the disk in it just freezes on a white screen.. anyone have experience with this
[06:54] <IdleOne> rockzman: yes and you have an error with installing python. ask in #ubuntu+1 they can probably help more
[06:54] <einPaule> if you already created the folder /mnt/ubuntu yes, if not better create a folder in the /media/ folder
[06:54] <steel_lady> juano_ with the thing you told me, I entered to that machine HDD b ut it allows me to see only /scratch and not my /home
[06:54] <einPaule> and mount it there quaal_mac
[06:54] <quaal_mac> ok
[06:54] <thespirit> unop how shall i paste the thing?
[06:54] <stjepan> what's this font: http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/data/500/urxvt-conky20060823.png ?
[06:54] <juano__> steel_lady: thats cause /home isnt with right permissions
[06:55] <unop> thespirit,  use this http://pastebin.ca
[06:55] <thespirit> how can i show you the result?
[06:55] <juano__> steel_lady: you have to change the /home permissions in that pc you are entering
[06:55] <unop> thespirit,  once you have submitted your paste there, it gives you a URL that i can use to access it, just paste the url in once you're done
[06:55] <juano__> steel_lady: if you dont have the access to do that, try contacting someone there , administrator
[06:55] <rockzman> IdleOne, im trying to update my python version, why would i have tio go on ubuntu+1 if i am using a 6.10 version
[06:55] <steel_lady> juano_ how can I do that? I mean I have to give permissions to my laptop somehow
[06:56] <hjmills> stjepan, which one - there are two in the picture? (i dont know either but just wondering)
[06:56] <IdleOne> rockzman: you said you had an issue with upgrade to fiesty
[06:56] <steel_lady> juano_ if I could contact admin, I wouldn't be here on xchat
[06:56] <juano__> steel_lady: rofl
[06:56] <stjepan> hjmills, left one
[06:56] <juano__> steel_lady: your right..
[06:56] <quaal_mac> einPaule, http://pastebin.ca/341480
[06:56] <rockzman> IdleOne, yep sorry it is a missunderstood i am trying to install some updates, and it cant be done because of my python
[06:56] <unop> rockzman,  upgrading/changing the python version is likely to break a majority of python-dependent packages -- why do you need to upgrade python anyway?
[06:57] <hjmills> stjepan, thought so - the right one could be from the vista C font set (consolas, constantia etc) and the left i guess could be silkscreen or one of the artwiz fonts
[06:57] <HeXiLed> can anyone recommend a good app to encrypt and store passwd?
[06:57] <rockzman> unop, i dont need to, the new version of this python is included on my packages to be updated...
[06:57] <profoX`> I can choose between VMWare Server of Player, they are both free, right? What are the differences?
[06:57] <juano__> steel_lady: :P, mmm ok, well the thing is that you need to access as root from the other machine, or maybe try accessing with a user that has permissions to /home and try sharing what you want from the remote system
[06:57] <stjepan> hjmills, on the right is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
[06:57] <_Falkon_> Can someone send me a link to the Open Arena how-to in the forums?  I searched but couldn't find it.
[06:57] <einPaule> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/ubuntu
[06:58] <juano__> steel_lady: so you can access it from your laptop
[06:58] <hjmills> stjepan, oh - fair enuff - i never seemed to get it to look that pretty on my screen
[06:58] <LjL> profoX`: you cannot create virtual machines with the Player. however, that's very easy to do with external tools. also other differences i'm not entirely sure about (i think i'd read that Server has no sound, but i've been told that's not the case...)
[06:58] <einPaule> quaal_mac, any luck with that?
[06:58] <steel_lady> juano_ one question: id I go to my terminal, I can do for eg. scp to my home, why can't I mount it like this?
[06:58] <Mortuis> I hate peaceful monster
[06:58] <Mortuis> s
[06:58] <thespirit> unop, htt://pastebin.ca/341481
[06:58] <unop> rockzman,  are you upgrading to fesity by any chance?
[06:58] <LjL> the one obvious advantage of the player, profoX`, is that it's packaged in our repositories
[06:58] <Mortuis> stupid giant keeps breaking the door to my stash
[06:58] <GalaZ> if I've a file .rar ... how can i decomprime it?
[06:58] <juano__> steel_lady: this is cause of samba permissions
[06:58] <rockzman> unop, nah im just trying to update some packages on my 6.10
[06:59] <juano__> steel_lady: smb://  ----> samba
[06:59] <_Falkon_> Can someone send me a link to the Open Arena how-to in the forums?  I searched but couldn't find it.
[06:59] <quaal_mac> einPaule, getting same error message :(
[06:59] <IdleOne> !rar | GalaZ
[06:59] <ubotu> GalaZ: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[06:59] <juano__> steel_lady: if the samba protocol isnt properly configured from the remote PC then permissions arent well configured
[06:59] <Crescendo> If I leave an SSH Nautilus window open, I can't open files after a period of time, and I have to restart. Is there any way from terminal to kill the ssh connection, and reconnect, fully?
[06:59] <einPaule> the folder /mnt/ubuntu exists?
[06:59] <Crescendo> GalaZ, you should be able to right click the rar and "extract here"
[06:59] <steel_lady> juano_ so it would not change anythin just changing properties of the folder, it has to be done in samba, no?
[06:59] <sith-lord> sup?
[06:59] <quaal_mac> einPaule, yes
[06:59] <Pntkl> sup
[07:00] <profoX`> LjL: okay.. thanks..

[07:00] <_Falkon_> Can someone send me a link to the Open Arena how-to in the forums?  I searched but couldn't find it.
[07:00] <juano__> steel_lady: actually yes, smb.conf would have to be configured properly
[07:00] <steel_lady> juano_ you do not have other idea how to do just plain login through conquer to muy homje?
[07:00] <unop> thespirit,  errm, one last try -- sudo aptitude install openssl
[07:01] <rockzman> unop, i just would like to know why ii receive this errors
[07:01] <unop> rockzman,  pastebin those errors
[07:01] <rockzman> yea sure
[07:01] <juano__> steel_lady: if you want window file sharing to work properly you would have to configure /etc/samba/smb.conf in the remote computer
[07:01] <steel_lady> juano_ even if admin would be here, they wouldn't let me change those permissions. they are a bit paranoid
[07:01] <einPaule> hmm quaal_mac I don't know then, if you are sure that the HD is called hdc1 then I don't know
[07:01] <juano__> steel_lady: lol :-)
[07:01] <_Falkon_> Can someone send me a link to the Open Arena how-to in the forums?  I searched but couldn't find it.
[07:02] <profoX`> LjL: thanks, I already sort of knew all that :) but I have a friend who wanted to know the differences between them 2 (player, server) ... I guess player will be best choice to start with
[07:02] <einPaule> quaal_mac, if you are not sure if it is called hdc1, then you can use qtparted to find out
[07:02] <Myk0> anyone know how to fix white screen issue on LIVECD PPC 6.10 install on a powerbook g4?
[07:02] <quaal_mac> god dammit this is ridiculous

[07:02] <_Falkon_> Can someone send me a link to the Open Arena how-to in the forums?  I searched but couldn't find it.
[07:03] <LjL> profoX`: i'm quite positive that it is, for the fact that you don't have to install non-packaged stuff if nothing else. had a look at VirtualBox as well?
[07:03] <steel_lady> juano_ i went to another comp and I am there in smb.conf
[07:03] <rockzman> unop,
[07:03] <einPaule> quaal_mac, did you try dmesg | tail
[07:03] <einPaule> ?
[07:03] <rockzman> unop, ok im pastebining it
[07:03] <profoX`> LjL: nope, virtualbox is pretty new isn't it?
[07:03] <steel_lady> juano_ tell me what to do there and I will see if it lets me save changes
[07:03] <Bsims> how do I get a list
[07:03] <Kajin> Hm, is Ubuntu.com slow/down for anybody else?
[07:03] <IdleOne> _Falkon_: that is getting annoying. try searching some more and when someone has the link they will give it to you . asking every 45 seconds wont get it for you any faster :)
[07:03] <LjL> profoX`: yes, it's pretty new. the good thing of it is it's GPL
[07:03] <quaal_mac> einPaule,  running now
[07:03] <profoX`> LjL: and how does it work? like qemu?
[07:03] <juano__> steel_lady: well youll have to go to the bottom of the file
[07:03] <unop> steel_lady,  well, did you use sudo to edit the file?
[07:04] <LjL> profoX`: way faster than qemu. probably a bit slower than vmware - especially as far as graphics drivers go
[07:04] <Bsims> how do I get a listing of all packages that can be congfigured with dpkg-reconfigure
[07:04] <EdgEy> is there any way to reset the root password back to nothing as it is by default, you can't su without doing sudo passwd?
[07:04] <_Falkon_> IdleOne: k sorry
[07:04] <quaal_mac> einPaule, http://pastebin.ca/341495
[07:04] <juano__> steel_lady: then check read only = no
[07:04] <rockzman> unop, http://pastebin.ca/index.php
[07:04] <rockzman> take that
[07:04] <IdleOne> _Falkon_: np
[07:04] <juano__> steel_lady: in the /home section
[07:04] <ross> hi
[07:04] <profoX`> LjL: yea well vmware even has (experimental?) 3D acceleration now..
[07:04] <unop> rockzman,  that takes me to their front page -- :) check the URL again
[07:04] <juano__> steel_lady: if /home is shared, you should see a [home]  part in that file
[07:04] <profoX`> LjL: i'd like to try it out, but my fastest pc right now is a shameful 256MB ram pc :$
[07:05] <quaal_mac> einPaule, hdd is the ntfs drive i installed
[07:05] <LjL> profoX`: well, yes, but i wasn't talking about that (i don't really know just how experimental it is - probably quite so), just about screen redrawing speed in general
[07:05] <m0dY> is there a diff command for the file system ?
[07:05] <profoX`> LjL: doesn't really work for emulation ;)
[07:05] <juano__> steel_lady: check that there is a line read only = no
[07:05] <thespirit> unop now what?
[07:05] <Amadeo> I'm having problems with Feisty, I can't get my Network properties to open so I can configure it...it just hangs
[07:05] <vdv> hi all
[07:05] <juano__> steel_lady: and writable = yes
[07:05] <vdv>  when i transfer files from my usb flash they are all executable flag set
[07:05] <m0dY> to know the difference made to the filesystem after installing some app
[07:05] <LjL> profoX`: oh, it does... just launch a failsafe X without GNOME or KDE and run vmware/virtualbox in it, with like 192 megs for itself :)
[07:05] <profoX`> LjL: well shouldnt give too much trouble, if you disable the 2D effects in the vm guest os
[07:05] <vdv> which option to mount must i specify to do not interpret files on my usb as executables?
[07:05] <unop> thespirit,  did that install? openssl?
[07:05] <thespirit> yes
[07:06] <IdleOne> Amadeo: #ubuntu+1 for fiesty help
[07:06] <LjL> m0dY: you can use plain "diff". but of course you have to snapshot it *before* you make the change, too
[07:06] <unop> thespirit,  try the dpkg command again
[07:06] <rockzman> unop, ops hehe http://pastebin.ca/341496 there you are
[07:06] <Amadeo> Thanks
[07:06] <steel_lady> juano_ there is no home part, only scratch. can I copy the whole thing for scratch and put the title home?
[07:06] <juano__> steel_lady: that would give you permissions to read and write on your /home
[07:06] <m0dY> LjL: snapshot the filesystem ?
[07:06] <torrrrr> I have a network problem on ubuntu, can't ping even on the LAN , The network seems to be up though, static IP. Using resolvconf. Can anyone spare a hint?
[07:06] <einPaule> quaal_mac, It looks to me like the harddrive has some corruption, but I can't tell you how to check it and if it is how to repair, let me google...
[07:06] <grout> i just installed enlightenment and i went to extract something on my desktop but it didnt go to my enlightenment desktop it went to my gnome desktop, how can i fix this?
[07:07] <steel_lady> juano_ it tells me that the file is read only :(
[07:07] <juano__> steel_lady: yes, the important thing is to put path = /home   ---->your home path
[07:07] <LjL> m0dY, just type "ls -R -l /", and you get a pretty accurate snapshot of the filesystem state. pipe that to a file, and you can use diff on it later.
[07:07] <juano__> steel_lady: lol, then no luck with that
[07:07] <quaal_mac> einPaule, the dmesg command was operating on hdD i seems, not the ubuntu drive, hdC
[07:07] <IdleOne> grout: I believe enlightenment doesnt use desktop icons
[07:07] <juano__> steel_lady: you will need root access
[07:07] <steel_lady> juano_ no I can not write in smb.conf
[07:07] <thespirit> unop, http://pastebin.ca/341497
[07:07] <unop> rockzman,  what does this do for you?  sudo aptitude install python2.5-minimal
[07:08] <Bsims> how do I get a listing of all packages that can be congfigured with dpkg-reconfigure? any ideas my google -fu is weak
[07:08] <steel_lady> juano_, anything I need root access for, admin will not do
[07:08] <einPaule> oh right, quaal_mac , blind of me
[07:08] <juano__> Bsims: dpkg -L
[07:08] <rockzman> unop, actually nothing i just want to have an apt-get upgrade so i'll have the latest softwares version
[07:08] <pbureau> torrrrr, if you type lspci do you see your network card and does it identify the chipset on it?
[07:08] <steel_lady> juano_ let's try that thing with nfs
[07:08] <unop> thespirit,  sorry, not this one -- the dpkg -i --force-all ymsgr.deb
[07:08] <unop> rockzman,  did you try this command?
[07:08] <juano__> steel_lady: sure, try nfs://<remoteiporpcname>
[07:08] <einPaule> quaal_mac, no, I just rechecked it, it seems it is on hdc1
[07:09] <einPaule> quaal_mac, EXT3-fs error (device hdc1):
[07:09] <quaal_mac> oh
[07:09] <quaal_mac> einPaule, how the hell did this happen
[07:09] <knovak> Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm a happy user. For a while I thought I'd have to transfer all my music over from Windows, which would take up space... but no! I can just access it straight out of the windows partition!
[07:09] <quaal_mac> einPaule, i guess i'm going to have to reinstall
[07:09] <steel_lady> juano: if I put nfs:// in conquer it tells me of course that I do not have autorization for that. of course because I didn't tell him my username and pass but he detected it
[07:09] <Hoosteen> ok...there's a package i want to install for ubuntu edgy but it doesn't show up in apt-get..how do i get it there?
[07:09] <einPaule> quaal_mac, wait
[07:09] <knovak> I never used to be able to do that, or if I could, I was doing it wrong
[07:09] <rockzman> unop, yes i tried now and got the same
[07:09] <rockzman> error
[07:09] <Hoosteen> i'm super new to linux/ubuntu so bear with my questions....lol
[07:10] <einPaule> quaal_mac, try fsck /dev/hdc1 to check the drive
[07:10] <Bsims> juano__: says it needs a file name argument
[07:10] <IdleOne> Hoosteen: what package and do you have repos enabled?
[07:10] <steel_lady> juano_ I need the way to tell him to connect to user@machine
[07:10] <pbureau> Hoosteen, whats the package you want ?
[07:10] <thespirit> unop, http://pastebin.ca/341500
[07:11] <Hoosteen> IdleOne: it's the synaptics touchpad gui and i have no idea if i have repos enabled or not...lol

[07:11] <quaal_mac> einPaule, checking.. 200gb HD so it might take a while
[07:11] <Hoosteen> IdleOne: hehe..no problem..thanks!
[07:11] <einPaule> quaal_mac, good luck!
[07:11] <quaal_mac> einPaule, thanks
[07:11] <GreyGhost> night all...
[07:12] <einPaule> night
[07:12] <unop> rockzman,  ok, errm, check  this directory for post install scripts for python2.5-minimal -- /var/lib/dpkg/ -- find /var/lib/dpkg -name "*python*"
[07:12] <IdleOne> Hoosteen: after you enable universe and multiverse repos then sdo aptitude install packagename or from synaptics
[07:12] <IdleOne> s/sdo/sudo
[07:12] <m0dY> LjL: about the filesystem snapshot thing, isn't there anything better ?
[07:12] <juano__> steel_lady: mm, and in samba, when you were prompted with username and pass, did you access as user@machine ?
[07:12] <rockzman> on the first unop it found a LOT of
[07:12] <steel_lady> juano_ it says: autentication failed, machine 'machine' autentication not supported
[07:12] <LjL> m0dY: define "better".
[07:12] <unop> thespirit,  ok, it seems yahoo messenger installed ok but you'll need to install these two packages - libgdk-pixbuf2 and xlibs
[07:13] <steel_lady> juano_ in samba yes
[07:13] <thespirit> unop how to do that?
[07:13] <GreyGhost> btw...will 6.10 get an update to 2.6.20 kernel?
[07:13] <unop> rockzman,  find /var/lib/dpkg -name "*python*" | grep -i "post"
[07:13] <LjL> GreyGhost: no
[07:13] <Bsims> juano__: ok that gives me all the packages how do I know which can be dpkg-reconfigured
[07:13] <unop> thespirit, sudo aptitude install libgdk-pixbuf2 xlibs
[07:13] <m0dY> LjL: "ls -R -l /" then piping the output to a file then making a diff on it will be so bad when having a storage more than 500mb fs
[07:14] <LjL> m0dY: uhm, why?
[07:14] <GreyGhost> LjL ,why? :(
[07:14] <LjL> GreyGhost: for the same reason it's never been updated to kernel 2.6.19
[07:14] <rockzman> unop, a lot of them again
[07:14] <m0dY> testing now.. so slow
[07:14] <m0dY> will test and check the time it's consuming
[07:14] <LjL> GreyGhost: ubuntu releases are only updated for security bugs and very serious bugs. nothing else.
[07:15] <unop> rockzman,  ok, let's see that output
[07:15] <GreyGhost> LjL , it hasnt? ahh ok
[07:15] <thespirit> unop now what?
[07:15] <Pici> GreyGhost: I believe feisty will/is updated to 2.6.20
[07:15] <LjL> !info linux | GreyGhost, no
[07:15] <ubotu> greyghost, no: linux: Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.17.10 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[07:15] <unop> thespirit,  did those packages install?
[07:15] <GreyGhost> LjL ,would have been nice to see kvm or paravirtualiztion ..
[07:15] <LjL> GreyGhost: then wait for feisty
[07:15] <thespirit> yes
[07:15] <Kajin> That's odd, I just did a clean install of Ubuntu Edgy, but the weird thing is, I can ping anywhere, but when I try to visit webpages in Firefox, it stays on 'Waiting for connection..' forever. All the other computers on my network work perfectly.
[07:15] <unop> thespirit,  try launching ymgr now
[07:15] <juano__> Bsims: mm , dunno, dpkg-reconfigure --help , or man dpkg-reconfigure
[07:16] <rockzman> unop,  sure im going to pastebin that
[07:16] <GreyGhost> LjL ,oh so .. fiesty will thats nice :) thanks
[07:16] <Terry-q> ,bots
[07:16] <GreyGhost> Pici ,ok
[07:16] <thespirit> from where?
[07:16] <Terry-q> .bots
[07:16] <unop> rockzman,  thespirit -- i shall be back in 2 minutes
[07:16] <rockzman> k
[07:16] <LjL> GreyGhost: no, feisty *might*. it's still not decided. the current testing version has paravirtualization enabled, but they'll have to make sure it works well enough to put it into the final release
[07:16] <thespirit> ok but don leave me
[07:16] <juano__> steel_lady: the problem is you dont have permissions to change the share permissions
[07:16] <steel_lady> juano_ in conquer it has at homepage link for 'network folders' and suggerst sin link remote:/ but I do not know how to put the rest of the address
[07:17] <steel_lady> juano_ I will never have permissions to change it but they did it wothout permissions
[07:17] <juano__> steel_lady: try doing this, Add a network folder in remote places
[07:17] <GreyGhost> LjL ,ahh i c... agreed ..i'd stay with stability than virtualization ..
[07:18] <juano__> steel_lady: in remote:/
[07:18] <steel_lady> juano_ the key is to make him to give me opportunity to log in somehow. it goes around permissions or gives me permissions
[07:18] <juano__> steel_lady: try clicking add a network folder
[07:18] <steel_lady> juano_ clicking where?
[07:19] <piratepenguin> where can I read about what's coming in the next Ubuntu release?

[07:33] <MystaMax> juano__, ok, I'll back it up first and try it. Thanks.
[07:33] <juano__> MystaMax: just add "1280x1024" next to the other resolutions you have there

[07:33] <Kajin> Can somebody help me with a networking problem? The thing is, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu Edgy, ping works perfectly to any site, but when I enter it in Firefox, it just displays 'Waiting for connection' forever.
[07:34] <steel_lady> juano_ I think that since I can access to my home as soon as I do login from any machine, probably /home fisically is not there but on some other machine
[07:34] <pbureau> Kajin,  can you ping to www.yahoo.com ?
[07:34] <unop> Kajin,  can you access sites using their IP addresses in firefox?
[07:34] <juano__> steel_lady: try other machines

[07:35] <nothlit> unop: your package database got corrupted?
[07:35] <pbureau> Kaja, try terminal window --> ping www.yahoo.com you should get something like PING www.yahoo-ht2.akadns.net (209.191.93.52) 56(84) bytes of data. and a series of pings below it, if not you need to fix your DNS addres in /etc/resolv.d
[07:36] <unop> nothlit,  errm no
[07:36] <Kajin> pbureau: unop: I can ping everything with success, but the weird thing is that a site like Google does show up in my browser but Yahoo for example does not.
[07:36] <steel_lady> juano_ there are 459 machines
[07:36] <NaPsTeR_> how do i use compiz?
[07:36] <juano__> steel_lady: lol
[07:36] <riotkittie> Ok. The hard drive in my laptop is a paltry 11.2GB, I'm multibooting Dapper, another distro, and Win 2K  I have just purchased a 400GB external drive and am eagerly awaiting delivery. IIRC, my BIOS does not support booting from USB devices
[07:36] <Kajin> I'll try nothlit's link now.
[07:36] <unop> Kajin,  probably something to do with your DNS server setup in /etc/resolv.conf .. or that coupled with IPv6
[07:36] <wceoscar> CAn i get ITUNES for UBUNTU??
[07:36] <juano__> steel_lady: you told me that when you logon another machine, you get your home
[07:37] <NaPsTeR_> !ubotu compiz

[07:37] <rockzman> unop,
[07:37] <juano__> steel_lady: are you logging on locally or to the domain ??
[07:37] <rockzman> what command ?
[07:37] <rance> Im having some trouble implementing a static ip address for a ubuntu-server LTS box, if I set the interface to get an ip via dhcp it does, and everything works as it should, but when I configure as a static ip then something breaks.  Im specifiing the gateway manually with the static setup.  the "route" command has trouble with the gateway portion of the readout, but will eventually give correct answer, while configure with dhcp the "route" comman
[07:37] <rockzman> or just the file context unop
[07:37] <unop> rockzman,  gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.5-minimal.postinst
[07:37] <unop> rockzman,  yep, the file's contents
[07:37] <riotkittie> stupid premature enter :<
[07:37] <rockzman> ah sure
[07:37] <rjg_> If you are already running beryl, will you need to reinstall come fiesty?
[07:38] <juano__> rance: route add default gw  <gatewayip>
[07:38] <unop> rjg_,  hopefully not
[07:39] <rance> juano__ isnt that configured in the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[07:39] <pbureau> wceoscar, itunes is a program that run under windows you could use WINE <app name> and install it under wine and run it I guess. I am not aware of a itunes for linux
[07:39] <rance> its not that route doesnt know the route, its more like its unsure somehow
[07:39] <unop> rance,  yes indeed -- but sometimes you need to tweak routes
[07:39] <rance> ok
[07:39] <unop> rance,  why are you wanting to change the routes?
[07:39] <wceoscar> pbureau so if it isnt availabl;e, is here come sort of player that i can use???
[07:40] <wceoscar> totem sucks for me
[07:40] <juano__> rance: it would be good to specify the complete line sentence to route
[07:40] <u0392185> Does anybody know how to get my HP lasterjet 6L to reconize under the parallel port?
[07:40] <pbureau> wceoscar, like I mentioned in my reply, I am not aware of a Itunes for linux
[07:40] <Alinux> hello all, I would like to mount .iso image as CD-ROM dirive..is it possible ?
[07:40] <rance> unop: the issue is that its a two nic box, and there can only be ONE default gw, it should be one nic, but during testing it was the other
[07:40] <wceoscar> OK, but something like winnamp !
[07:40] <steel_lady> juano_ I am not sure what are you tolking about. for example, if I go to whichever machine of the institute, I login and I get my desktop with my files and my home
[07:41] <juano__> rance: e.g.  route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
[07:41] <unop> rance,  you can have multiple default gateways -- but the primary one has to have a lower cost/metric to make it the chosen one
[07:41] <juano__> wceoscar: audacious
[07:41] <juano__> wceoscar: or xmms
[07:41] <pbureau> wceoscar, but a quick google of Itunes linux replied with some people having suceess  check it out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=itunes+linux&btnG=Search
[07:41] <justin420> hi all. anybody tell me if it is possible to setup different hostnames for each separate NIC I have installed on my pc? I have one wired connection and one wireless; and would like to have different hostnames for each NIC. Anybody help or point me in the direction of a howto?
[07:41] <wceoscar> thanks
[07:41] <rance> ok, maybe thats the problem
[07:41] <alexIdoia> I have just upgraded to edgy and I have a problem with Xserver, into the Section Device I had the driver nividia, I replace it with nv and it worked, the think is that the maximum resolution is not displaying text correctly, do I have to reinstall the nvidia driver ?
[07:41] <juano__> pbureau: yep, you can use itunes with Crossover office but no ipod support
[07:42] <bauer77> anyone having issues with Terminal Server Client hanging and not connecting?
[07:42] <madman91>  i know its a risk to do this do a complete stranger.. but can anyone spare me an invite to oink.me.uk or demonoid.com or bitme.org
[07:42] <unop> justin420,  thats not how hostnames work -- a hostname is global to a machine and differrent interfaces dont have different hostnames
[07:42] <pbureau> u0392185, opena browser, and type http:l//locatehost:631 this is the web interface of CUPS, click on administration you should see your printer there
[07:42] <alexIdoia> anyone please ?
[07:42] <juano__> steel_lady: hehe yes, but you should then login from the laptop to the domain
[07:42] <Kano> hmm using that patch works for ntfs
[07:42] <Kano> but not for ntfs-3g
[07:42] <steel_lady> juano_ how do I do that?
[07:42] <juano__> steel_lady: when you enter your laptop, login to the domain, not on the local laptop
[07:42] <Kano> at least not fully
[07:43] <juano__> steel_lady: with the same username and pass you use for other machines
[07:43] <MystaMax> juano__, no luck. I'm trying to get my dell laptop to boot up on a docking station, which has a 1280x1024 LCD attached to it. It working on Dapper, but not edgy. any ideas?
[07:43] <pbureau> u0392185, sorry make that http://localhost:631/
[07:43] <steel_lady> juano_ I can only log in locally, it is my personal laptop
[07:43] <justin420> unop: ok thanks allot.  So in my /etc/hosts file I should make my 2 ip addresses for each NIC the same then?
[07:43] <quaal_mac> einPaule, still around ?
[07:43] <u0392185> pbureau, i have set up the printer through that but i could only set it up through hp_no_device_found
[07:43] <u0392185> is there a way to diagnose my parallel port?
[07:44] <juano__> steel_lady: but you can access the domain through the laptop
[07:44] <alexIdoia> anyone please ?
[07:44] <u0392185> I have foomatic installed as well as all the cups packages
[07:44] <alexIdoia> I have just upgraded to edgy and I have a problem with Xserver, into the Section Device I had the driver nividia, I replace it with nv and it worked, the think is that the maximum resolution is not displaying text correctly, do I have to reinstall the nvidia driver ?
[07:44] <unop> justin420,  yes, you could do that if you want to influence how that machine percieves its own IP addresses -- however, other machines will not be aware of that
[07:44] <juano__> steel_lady: you need to add the laptop to the domain
[07:44] <Kajin> unop: I'm afraid I'm still having the same problem.
[07:44] <piratepenguin> when did Ubuntu begin development
[07:44] <piratepenguin> ?
[07:44] <pbureau> u0392185, can you connect it via usb ?
[07:44] <lordkeiden> how do i set up my creative webcam?
[07:44] <Kajin> Even after disable IPv6 trough /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list
[07:44] <rjg_> if you have beryl installed, will you need to reistall it when you upgrade to fiesty fawn??????
[07:44] <unop> Kajin,  so you did disable IPv6 then?
[07:44] <steel_lady> juano_ it is my personal laptop, how could I log in on it like they installed it on institute machines?
[07:44] <juano__> MystaMax: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   could do the trick
[07:44] <LjL> !awat > muty_away    (muty_away, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:44] <quaal_mac> i fsck'd the hdc (install drive) and was finally able to mount it, now i'm in the /mnt/ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst and this is the entry i think for the ubuntu boot: http://pastebin.ca/ 341541
[07:44] <christianmortal> ok i have a wlan card which runs of a rt61 chipset  how do i get it working on my laptop
[07:45] <u0392185> pbureau, no my printer only has a parallel cable
[07:45] <rockzman> unop, http://pastebin.ca/341537
[07:45] <MystaMax> juano__, ok, I'll try it, brb
[07:45] <quaal_mac> ah http://pastebin.ca/341541
[07:45] <Kajin> unop: Ooh, wait, I added the disabling line to bad_list like the page set, but the file was actually called blacklist.
[07:46] <juano__> steel_lady: sure you can, you just need to add the laptop to the domain
[07:46] <quaal_mac> this appears to be pointing to the /dev/hdc1 for the ubuntu boot righ?
[07:46] <Kajin> unop: I'll go try it again with blacklist.
[07:46] <quaal_mac> right
[07:46] <rockzman> unop, u checked??
[07:46] <steel_lady> juano_ how do I do that?
[07:46] <Myk0> can any0one help me with live cd 6.10 edgy install on PPC
[07:46] <pbureau> christianmortal, see private message I sent you
[07:46] <unop> rockzman,  ok, open up the file as superuser -- sudo gedit filename and change the first line from #! /bin/sh -e to #!/bin/sh  .. save the file and continue your update
[07:46] <Myk0> specifically the livecd crashes and stalls in a white blank screen after load
[07:47] <rockzman> ok unop
[07:47] <MystaMax> piratepenguin, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(Linux_distribution)
[07:47] <juano__> steel_lady: try changing the computer name settings, to be e.g  mymachine@institutedomain
[07:47] <demreath> hi! Is it possible (in GNOME) to make ALT+TAB toggle thru all the opened windows, not only those from current desktop?
[07:48] <rockzman> tryin to unop
[07:48] <steel_lady> juano_where? juano I do not believe the system will accept that. every computer on the institute belongs to some working group and I can not put my laptop to belong to a woeking group because they have o autorize it
[07:49] <steel_lady> juano_ it will not be accepted for sure, there is some much easier way
[07:49] <NaPsTeR_> when is 7.04 coming out?
[07:49] <pbureau> humm...why would  my usb device be reconized but not mounted on desktop when I plug it in ?
[07:49] <riotkittie> NaPsTeR_: in 04 07
[07:49] <juano__> steel_lady: if you enter with your username and pass it should accept
[07:49] <steel_lady> juano_ another question in the meantime
[07:49] <riotkittie> NaPsTeR_: april
[07:49] <rjg_> NaPsTer_: April
[07:49] <NaPsTeR_> that far away
[07:49] <juano__> steel_lady: im sure they work with a domain with 459 computers lol, not only workgroups
[07:49] <NaPsTeR_> that sux
[07:50] <unop> steel_lady,  to join a machine upto a domain/workgroup you'll definitely need to be authorised to do it -- in most cases only the network admin can do that
[07:50] <NaPsTeR_> i wanted the new stuff like compiz and beryl built in
[07:50] <NaPsTeR_> will u b able to update or will u have to format and reinstall?
[07:50] <lordkeiden> how do i setup my webcam?
[07:50] <steel_lady> juano_ we have server where everybody has their folder to put files for sharing between all the people on the institute. I entered to the folder of my friend and I triend to copy thoise files to my local machine but it does not let me
[07:50] <Myk0> is version 6.06 more preferable than 6.10 for PowerPC installs
[07:50] <riotkittie> NaPsTeR_: its not that far away. and if you have the space, you can test the alpha
[07:51] <NaPsTeR_> how can i get the alpha?
[07:51] <__doc__> hi, I've got a problem with my update-manager. It tells me there are updates, the orange icon is there, but I can't get the dialog open that shows me the updates, whatever I click in there. help?
[07:51] <Kajin> unop: I added 'alias net-pf-10 off' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, but 'ip a | grep inet6' still shows some stuff about IPv6.
[07:51] <crov> Hi all, i am having problem to boot Ubuntu or Kubuntu 6.10 (screenschoot from Kubuntu) it start to boot and when it "should" open kde i get this screen error http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00260dd0.jpg (tryled also ubuntu.alternativ cd) this last that i try was kubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso
[07:51] <winston> !samba
[07:51] <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
[07:51] <riotkittie> Myk0: i'm not sure. if you've got a blank disc and the ability to download, give it a shot. or check the forums, there might be some posts re: ppc there that will give you an idea
[07:51] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: and if u are brave (foolish?) you can run it now on your main system, like me!
[07:51] <Dante123> hi all......installed ubuntu on partition on my kids computer......apparently they went nuts usng Add/Remove software because now they can't login.....I can login as root and I get a message that the 100% of HD is used.....so I cleared out some stuff.....but I can only login as root....their user account is still unaccessible....so I deleted it (they said they didn't need anything in there) and tried adding new user......however...
[07:51] <Dante123> add new users....or when you try to login as new user....you can't.....any ideas (besides making more room on HD which I will do by getting rid of Open Office)....could all these adding users problem be directly related to low HD space?
[07:51] <NaPsTeR_> lol
[07:51] <wceoscar> i just aded this repo to the synaptic repo list deb http://static.audacious-media-player.org/ubuntu edgy main, now what should i do to install audacious?
[07:51] <NaPsTeR_> where can i get it from?
[07:52] <Myk0> riotkittie: all my installation disks keep freezing up on me!
[07:52] <steel_lady> unop, our admins are stupid dictators
[07:52] <unop> Kajin,  well, does lsmod | grep -i net-pf-10 show anything? thats what matters -- ifconfig will still show IPv6 addresses despite IPv6 being turned off
[07:52] <__doc__> and I can't see the repositories in the synaptic package manager either
[07:52] <__doc__> I've had something like this before
[07:52] <Kajin> unop: Nope, that command returns nothing.
[07:52] <__doc__> didn't know how to help me then to reinstall ubuntu
[07:52] <riotkittie> Myk0: as theyre loading X, right? or before that?  i have only been vaguely following the channel
[07:52] <NaPsTeR_> ??
[07:52] <juano__> steel_lady: did you try passing them from any machine you can logon to your laptop ?
[07:53] <unop> steel_lady,  well, all netadmins are -- but thats just the policy they follow -- if everything were easy for users to work-around, the network would be crap
[07:53] <__doc__> I think it's connected to "danger from the deep"
[07:53] <Kajin> unop: Some sites still won't load though.
[07:53] <Myk0> riotkittie: when i put in the disks and hold option to boot the disk on power on, they load and freeze up before the loader comes out in a white screen
[07:53] <juano__> steel_lady: plus, in your laptop you have to set the permissions correctly to write to your laptop shares
[07:53] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: if your brave (foolish?) like me, you can add all the feisty repos to you list and pull it all in on the wire!
[07:53] <NaPsTeR_> k
[07:53] <NaPsTeR_> how?
[07:53] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_:
[07:54] <NaPsTeR_> ye
[07:54] <juano__> steel_lady: from your laptop you can change the line security = user to security = share in  /etc/samba/smb.conf
[07:54] <Dante123> hi all......installed ubuntu on partition on my kids computer......apparently they went nuts usng Add/Remove software because now they can't login.....I can login as root and I get a message that the 100% of HD is used.....so I cleared out some stuff.....but I can only login as root....their user account is still unaccessible....so I deleted it (they said they didn't need anything in there) and tried adding new user......however...
[07:54] <Dante123> add new users....or when you try to login as new user....you can't.....any ideas (besides making more room on HD which I will do by getting rid of Open Office)....could all these adding users problem be directly related to low HD space?
[07:54] <steel_lady> juano_ it was telling me that it refuses to copy files from my friends folder but at the end it copied it anyway
[07:54] <unop> Kajin,  ok, there's also a way to disable IPv6 lookups in firefox -- navigate to about:config -- search for ipv6 and disable it
[07:54] <XiCillin> whats the difference between beryl and compiz?
[07:54] <Kajin> unop: Did that too.
[07:54] <unop> Kajin,  restart firefox after that and see if that improves anything
[07:54] <__doc__> oh I think it's a python problem
[07:54] <steel_lady> juano_ you are telling me to go to smb.conf on my laptop?
[07:54] <__doc__> I switched to python2.5
[07:54] <unop> Kajin,  ok, let's have a look at your /etc/resolv.conf .. !pastebin it please
[07:55] <__doc__> seems like UpdateManager.Common.aptsources is missing
[07:55] <keymone> hi ppl
[07:55] <keymone> can somebody tell me what is wrong in this world?
[07:55] <__doc__> keymone: bush
[07:55] <unop> keymone,  nothing and everything
[07:55] <juano__> steel_lady: yep, your ubuntu laptop
[07:55] <Myk0> keymone: my ubuntu install disks
[07:56] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: i opened the repo list in gedit and replaced every word "edgy" with "feisty". i had to fix my wifi after cuz the ndiswrapper didn't match the kernel..Remenber___Feisty is ALPHA...Not Production... (but I love it)!!
[07:56] <steel_lady> juano_ what should I put there?
[07:56] <wceoscar> is WINE safe????????
[07:56] <keymone> package libstdc++6-4.1 requires g++-4.1 and g++-4.1 requires libstdc++6-4.1
[07:56] <tash> have you seen a good theme for ubuntu looking like mac os x ?
[07:56] <keymone> it is normal?
[07:56] <tash> but real
[07:56] <u0392185> wine is safe, especially red wine
[07:56] <kitche> keymone: pretty much
[07:56] <wceoscar> hehe
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> is it a lot better
[07:56] <wceoscar> i mean the Wine app
[07:56] <NaPsTeR_> i really wanna change over
[07:56] <Kajin> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4317/
[07:56] <Kajin> unop: 192.168.0.1 is my router.
[07:57] <ircusr> what are the differences between 6.06 and 6.10?
[07:57] <u0392185> wine+ubuntu=significant other
[07:57] <kitche> ircusr: updated software
[07:57] <ircusr> ah
[07:57] <Kajin> unop: Good thing resolve.conf was only two lines, because I can't really reach pastebin from the computer that isn't working. XD
[07:57] <juano__> steel_lady: you need to set permissions right in there first, so you can write to it
[07:57] <ircusr> im dloading 6.10 at the moment
[07:57] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: I did it because I wanter to play with KVM and I needed Open Office 2.1.
[07:57] <einPaule> quaal_mac, got it?
[07:57] <unop> Kajin,  but errm, why are you searching 192.168.0.1 -- thats crazy   -- please remove that line and add in a few more DNS servers (coming up)
[07:57] <keymone> please tell me how do i install build-essential because i've allready downloaded 10 required packages
[07:57] <juano__> steel_lady: change security = user to security = share
[07:57] <gonzoism> hi.  i have a .avi file and it says its burn ready. its 700mb, should i burn it with cdrecord -data file.avi or do i need to convert it with k3b or something first ?
[07:57] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: But I think Evolution is a bit flakey in it..
[07:58] <Dante123> any ideas why I can't add users (it goes through the motions of adding them) but when you reboot you can only login as root....and the user you thought you added isn't there.
[07:58] <kitche> keymone: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:58] <NaPsTeR_> i think il just wait then...im quite the noob still so ye
[07:58] <Kajin> unop: What does search do exactly? I know about DNS servers, but not Search Domains.
[07:58] <NaPsTeR_> april isnt 2 far i guess
[07:58] <juano__> Dante123: sudo useradd <username>
[07:58] <unop> Kajin,  some extra nameservers  204.117.214.10  192.58.128.30 217.32.105.91
[07:58] <keymone> kitche: i do not have internet. i need build-essential to install rp-pppoe to setup internet on ubuntu ))
[07:59] <Myk0> grrr
[07:59] <quaal_mac> einPaule, still around ?
[07:59] <Dante123> any ideas juano__ why using the gui to add them isn't working?
[07:59] <kitche> keymone: build-essential is also on the install cd
[07:59] <einPaule> Yeah, I'm back quaal_mac
[07:59] <quaal_mac> einPaule,  http://pastebin.ca/341541
[07:59] <Myk0> anyone know how to fix the white screen LIVECD boot issue on POWERbooks!?
[07:59] <whatspy> hey ubuntu people. here's a question I'm not really able to google... in terminal mode, how to run a process that will "survive" when I log off ?
[07:59] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: lol....good plan. I'm a noob too...WheEE!
[07:59] <quaal_mac> einPaule, this appears to be pointing to the correct path /dev/hdc1 ?
[07:59] <juano__> Dante123: well you need to add them as root
[07:59] <quaal_mac> einPaule, it was like that by itself
[07:59] <keymone> kitche: nope.. they are not there. i have only desktop CD
[07:59] <NaPsTeR_> lol
[07:59] <juano__> Dante123: maybe your trying to add them as user
[07:59] <kitche> keymone: it is there
[07:59] <NaPsTeR_> well good luck with that
[07:59] <juano__> Dante123: through GUI
[07:59] <einPaule> odd
[07:59] <unop> Kajin,  ok, let's say you try looking up a hostname like google.com -- what that search directive gets the resolver to do is look for google.com.192.168.0.1 first before trying the actual google.com
[07:59] <Dante123> i'm logged in as root?
[07:59] <kitche> whatspy: use screen
[07:59] <Dante123> I mean I am logged in as root
[08:00] <juano__> Dante123: ah ok
[08:00] <quaal_mac> einPaule, perhaps the disk was just corrupted? fsck fixed ALOT of errors
[08:00] <lgc> juano__, why doesn't the search for "audacious" with "apt-get" returns nothing? (With all repositories enabled)
[08:00] <steel_lady> juano_ what does it mean ; in front of that line?
[08:00] <unop> Kajin,  and a lot of time is lost gettting the resolver to do that unfruitful lookup
[08:00] <einPaule> quaal_mac, you could try it and come back if it does not work
[08:00] <juano__> steel_lady: that its commented
[08:00] <quaal_mac> k.. i'll check
[08:00] <Lunar_Lamp> whatspy, run it as user that doesn't log off perhaps?
[08:00] <unop> Kajin,  on most home computers you dont need that directive -- so you can safely remove it
[08:00] <lordkeiden> is there a way to use the wifi card as a reciever for other signals...andy projects out there?
[08:00] <Dante123> i did get a message that HD was 100% used up.....so I deleted some stuff....do you think that still might be hampering adding the users via GUI?
[08:00] <juano__> steel_lady: the line should be securiy = share
[08:00] <juano__> steel_lady: the line should be security = share
[08:01] <Dante123> maybe still not enough HD room?
[08:01] <steel_lady> juano_ I understand that, but should I remove ; in front?
[08:01] <juano__> lgc: mm, i think its a 3rd party repository
[08:01] <unop> Kajin,  also make sure you restart the networking service after making changes to your resolv.conf -- sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:01] <juano__> lgc: let me check
[08:01] <lordkeiden> !noob
[08:01] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[08:01] <__doc__> anybody seen this in the wild? ImportError: No module named UpdateManager.Common.aptsources
[08:01] <XiCillin> anybody seen the edgy eft wallpaper? with the lizard. i know why its smiling. its trippin balls
[08:01] <lgc> juano__, OK.
[08:01] <juano__> steel_lady: yes
[08:01] <Kajin> unop: But isn't resolving from hostname to IP done by DNS?
[08:01] <lordkeiden> oh my...what does noob mean?
[08:02] <robdeman> hi folks.. how can I install mencoder?
[08:02] <lordkeiden> sorry ubotnu...
[08:02] <Terry-q> lordkeiden: you are talking to a bot.
[08:02] <robdeman> is mencoder simply part of mplayer?
[08:02] <lordkeiden> i know that....
[08:02] <unop> Kajin,  yes -- but if you have a search directive -- searching along those domains is performed first before actually trying the actual hostname
[08:02] <juano__> lgc: in terminal after changing sources.list you should do a sudo apt-get update
[08:02] <lordkeiden> but clearly I offended it...
[08:02] <christianmortal> how do i make and install RT61 Wireless Lan Linux Driver
[08:02] <Dante123>  Talking to bots is not welcome in this channel. Period.
[08:02] <Kajin> unop: Ah, I see, so it takes priority over the usual DNS servers?
[08:03] <sa0> hi all
[08:03] <christianmortal> need directions
[08:03] <al> I have written same bash scripts. where should I put them so that they will be run at computer startup?
[08:03] <gonzoism> whatspy: use screen
[08:03] <sa0> is it the good chan to talk about Herd3 ?
[08:03] <rockzman> christianmortal, first get the driver
[08:03] <rapid_> christianmortal, check the readme
[08:03] <lordkeiden> Dante123: breathe....
[08:03] <juano__> lgc: this is the repo for audacious http://static.audacious-media-player.org/ubuntu edgy main
[08:03] <LjL> !feisty > sa0    (sa0, see the private message from Ubotu)
[08:03] <unop> Kajin,  this is useful in networks where domains and workgroups are used -- so that you can lookup along the company's domains for hostnames (for ease of use) .. e.g. looking up server might be redirected to server.example.com (via a search directive)
[08:03] <rockzman> christianmortal, module* type on google
[08:03] <rockzman> christianmortal, ralink tw
[08:03] <quaal_mac> einPaule, it appears that the disk was just.. well, fsck'd
[08:03] <quaal_mac> einPaule, thank you so much
[08:03] <gonzoism> hi.  i have a .avi file and it says its burn ready. its 700mb, should i burn it with cdrecord -data file.avi or do i need to convert it with k3b or something first ?  it says its burn ready and tested
[08:03] <rockzman> christianmortal, go to support linux there is a pci driver
[08:03] <einPaule> quaal_mac, lol
[08:03] <sa0> k LjL , thx
[08:03] <Dante123> easyubuntu vs automatix.....which is better (or worse depending on your opinion of either of these types of programs)
[08:03] <wmn_> hi where can i place a new ttf font file so that i could get that font viewed?can anyone tell?
[08:03] <steel_lady> ok, juano_ I did that
[08:04] <LjL> !automatix | Dante123
[08:04] <ubotu> Dante123: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:04] <unop> Kajin,  well, if you will, this directive is the first a resolver uses
[08:04] <einPaule> quaal_mac, no problem! Glad it worked out! (without reinstalling)
[08:04] <steel_lady> ok, juano_ i did that
[08:04] <juano__> steel_lady: ok after saving the file, try sudo smbd restart
[08:04] <Terry-q> gonzoism: what does "burn ready" mean? Just burn it with k3b. easy
[08:04] <juano__> steel_lady: then try to copy files to your laptop from another computer and see if it works
[08:04] <kitche> gonzoism: I would make an iso for that .avi it's just easier when you burn it with cdrecord
[08:04] <quaal_mac> einPaule, yea me too! i had already spent hours on configurations
[08:04] <gonzoism> thanks as an image or a file on an image i make ?
[08:04] <Kajin> unop: Which could then also be used for, say, site filtering by interupting the usual DNS lookup for a forbidden page and pointing it at the IP of, for example, a warning page, right?
[08:04] <Dante123>  Bots who do not know there place and interfere in legitimate discussions are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[08:04] <Terry-q> whats that about automatix not being any good?
[08:05] <steel_lady> juano_ cimmand not found
[08:05] <NaPsTeR_> hello ubotu
[08:05] <kitche> !automatix|Terry-q
[08:05] <Terry-q> !WorksForMe
[08:05] <ubotu> Terry-q: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:05] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[08:05] <gonzoism> kitche: make an .iso like normal ?
[08:05] <juano__> steel_lady: sudo smbd restart
[08:05] <mytruehero2> Does this channel require that I register my nick?
[08:05] <Dante123> Automatix works for me you damn noob bot!
[08:05] <NaPsTeR_> !ubotu fiesty
[08:05] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[08:05] <einPaule> the cool thing quaal_mac, is if you have the home and / on different partitions, most configurations stay even after reinstalling... only you would have to reinstall the apps
[08:05] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: lm....um er..bo, yeah, lmbo!
[08:05] <kitche> gonzoism: with mkisofs
[08:05] <verve> hey guys
[08:05] <NaPsTeR_> lmbo?
[08:05] <ircusr> hi
[08:05] <verve> is there a package that the Arial font is in?
[08:05] <Terry-q> how can automatix do anything wrong? It uses apt-get.
[08:06] <lordkeiden> butt
[08:06] <steel_lady> sudo: smbd: command not found juano_
[08:06] <morrolan> verve - msttcorefonts
[08:06] <LjL> Terry-q: ?! how does that mean anything?
[08:06] <juano__> steel_lady: smbd
[08:06] <unop> Kajin,  it's possible -- but not very good -- because at times the resolver might also lookup the unintended domain's IP address .. for filtering, route filters and proxies are prefered -- this search directive is just to make it easier to lookup hostnames .. rather than type out a fully qualified domain name .. just the hostname will do
[08:06] <christianmortal> ralink tw what did you mean
[08:06] <christianmortal> ralink tw what did you mean
[08:06] <juano__> steel_lady: smbd restart
[08:06] <__doc__> got it
[08:06] <NaPsTeR_> oh...ok
[08:06] <quaal> finally
[08:06] <__doc__> the /usr/bin/update-manager was using /usr/bin/python too
[08:06] <Kajin> unop: Gah, I changed my resolve.conf, restarted the networking (even restarted the computer), but I still can't connect to certain sites.
[08:06] <lordkeiden> ubotu doesnt like the other one...
[08:06] <steel_lady> juano_ command not found
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnt like the other one... - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:06] <christianmortal> i see the card as wlan0 but i cannot do anuthing with it
[08:06] <__doc__> thanks for your help, apreciated
[08:07] <andy912> Hey everyone hows it going, when I was playing with the live cd, I noticed it only seemed to let me load certian pages such as google.com , gmail.com however not yahoo.com or lots of other sites, also at first I managed to open gaim fine, however after closing it and tring again, it would load in the bottom toolbar space however then just disppear, any ideas?
[08:07] <lgc> juano__, I see that there's no option for Breezy, my current version.
[08:07] <unop> Kajin,  did you add in the extra nameservers i gave you?
[08:07] <lordkeiden> oops...
[08:07] <Terry-q> LjL: huh? apt-get is package manager. how can it "screw up the system"? automatix is just a nice front end for important apps.
[08:07] <verve> thanks morrolan
[08:07] <juano__> steel_lady: ah your in breezy
[08:07] <NaPsTeR_> oh...lol
[08:07] <verve> morrolan, good series btw, Jhereg
[08:07] <verve> heh
[08:07] <LjL> Terry-q: try the command "apt-get install cowsay ; sudo ......." (guss what's after the sudo). it uses apt-get. doesn't it do anything bad?   anyway, automatix doesn't seem to have its source code available, its repositories are not listable, bugs can only be reported in obscure ways, and the developers have weird attitudes. it's simply not supported.
[08:07] <Kajin> unop: Yes.
[08:07] <juano__> lgc: your in breezy
[08:07] <steel_lady> juano_ I am in edgy
[08:07] <NaPsTeR_> he doesnt seem 2 know wat u talking bout either
[08:07] <NaPsTeR_> hahaha
[08:07] <mytruehero2> Does this channel require that I register my nick?
[08:07] <juano__> steel_lady: sorry was for lgc
[08:07] <NaPsTeR_> rofl
[08:07] <morrolan> verve - cheers!  I've been using this nick for about 10 years now!
[08:07] <LjL> Terry-q: no, that's not what apt-get does. if it just did that, it would simply be an apt-get command. it's a bytecode-compiled Python script instead. so that's not what it does.
[08:07] <verve> morrolan, :)
[08:08] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: lol...yeah
[08:08] <Terry-q> you mean automatix?
[08:08] <unop> Kajin,  you still got 192.168.1.1 in as a nameserver? that might be slowing things down
[08:08] <juano__> steel_lady: your in edgy yes
[08:08] <lgc> juano__, is it too old for audacious?
[08:08] <LjL> Terry-q: if you want a nice frontend to APT, there's Add/Remove Programs.
[08:08] <NaPsTeR_> lordkeiden check ur pm
[08:08] <lordkeiden> roflmbo
[08:08] <verve> Morrolan E'Kieron
[08:08] <NaPsTeR_> ye
[08:08] <verve> hehe
[08:08] <NaPsTeR_> good times
[08:08] <einPaule> mytruehero2, nope
[08:08] <juano__> lgc: i dont think so, i dont have the breezy repo at the moment, but hey try xmms its good ya know
[08:08] <morrolan> verve - morrolan wasn't an E'Kieron, he was an E'Drien
[08:08] <LjL> Terry-q: yes, i meant automatix
[08:08] <verve> was he? oh yeah, my bad
[08:08] <mytruehero2> einPaule: Thanks :)
[08:09] <verve> thinking of Alira
[08:09] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: um...my what? how?
[08:09] <morrolan> Aliera was the E'Kieron
[08:09] <Terry-q> LjL: are you missing what Autoatix does? Its a collection of important things that the average noob uses. I am afraid to say that I found it indespensable with new Ubuntu installations.
[08:09] <Pici> !offtopic
[08:09] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:09] <verve> Aliera!
[08:09] <verve> damnit
[08:09] <morrolan> I re-read them recently :)
[08:09] <verve> need to re-read
[08:09] <verve> :P
[08:09] <NaPsTeR_> private message
[08:09] <fliptop> hi all - can someone help me troubleshoot my AgereSystems modem installation?
[08:09] <Kajin> unop: Yeah, I tried it with and without my router as nameserver. Also, for some reason, I can reach Google and GMail perfectly, but not even my router's web interface.
[08:09] <NaPsTeR_> wat irc client u using?
[08:09] <pbureau> LjL,  yeah but kinda uselle when you try to remove apps from it, it doesnt deal with "dependencies" and tells you to use snypatic (much better interface to APT) to remove apps or install them.
[08:09] <pbureau> s/uselle/useless
[08:09] <mytruehero2> Is there a stable, open-source way to run a virtual Windows machine in Ubuntu?
[08:09] <unop> Terry-q,  automatix also tends to break quite a few things -- so be reminded that it carries potential problems with it
[08:10] <kitche> mytruehero2: virtualbox is good
[08:10] <LjL> Terry-q: i'm afraid to say this discussion is offtopic and we should stop, and that, in any case, automatix is simply not supported on this channel
[08:10] <juano__> mytruehero2: vmware :P
[08:10] <Terry-q> LjL: I follow you. But, shrug, for me the advabtages outweighed any (I havent found any) disadvantages. We still have synaptic at the end of the day too.
[08:10] <lgc> juano__, xmms sucks for me. It always freezes, and plays no sh*t. And it always displays an MPlayer window. I Use Gxine, which is reasonably good)
[08:10] <LjL> pbureau, automatic dependencies removal didn't exist at all until Edgy, outside of aptitude
[08:10] <gonzoism> automatix is a very popular peice of software, its weird that #ubuntu hates it so much
[08:10] <fliptop> i followed the wiki instructions, and sl-modem-daemon sets up /dev/ttySl0, minicom allows me to send an atz command, but atdt <#> produces 'NO CARRIER'
[08:10] <juano__> lgc: so right, thats why i use audacious rofl
[08:10] <NaPsTeR_> lordkeiden: click on my name next 2 wat i have typed
[08:10] <Terry-q> is this an official channel with Ubuntu staff?
[08:10] <NaPsTeR_> it will open the pm
[08:10] <juano__> lgc: ok let me see if i can get you the repo
[08:10] <juano__> lgc: sec
[08:10] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: i'm new to irc..how do i do that?
[08:11] <Terry-q> is easyUbuntu "on topic" and supported?
[08:11] <juano__> lgc: i had breezy before 5.10
[08:11] <NaPsTeR_> i asked u a question there
[08:11] <NaPsTeR_> wat irc client r u using lordkeiden
[08:11] <kitche> !easyubuntu|Terry-q
[08:11] <ubotu> Terry-q: 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
[08:11] <NaPsTeR_> xchat?
[08:11] <ompaul> !easyubuntu
[08:11] <lgc> juano__, the problem with gxine is that it doesn't seem to like .wm* stuff.
[08:11] <herede> I'm trying to install the X Window system development headers/libraries. Does anyone know if there's an Ubuntu package for that?
[08:11] <lordkeiden> Konversation...it says i gotta register?
[08:11] <juano__> lgc: try mplayer for wm*
[08:11] <unop> Terry-q,  automatix and easyubuntu are not really needed -- you can have perfect setups withoout using either of them
[08:12] <NaPsTeR_> oh...y u using that
[08:12] <juano__> lgc: mplayer does everything , it rocks, also install w32codecs
[08:12] <NaPsTeR_> r u using gnome or kde?
[08:12] <steel_lady> juano_ isn't it possible to mount remote disk in a folder without any of these programs?
[08:12] <kitche> herede: yes xserver-xorg-dev
[08:12] <bauer77> fliptop: Are you sure the modem is working properly?
[08:12] <herede> kitche: thanks a lot mate
[08:12] <unop> Kajin,  errm, how does this fare?  dig google.co.jp @192.58.128.30
[08:13] <lgc> juano__, I wonder why I had so many problems with xmms and Mplayer. I stayed with VLC and Gxine (Totem is there, also, but is quite limited).
[08:13] <fliptop> bauer77:  i can't test it by dialing, but my experience w/ linux is if you can send an atz in minicom it should work.
[08:13] <NaPsTeR_> lord...u still there?
[08:13] <juano__> lgc: xmms and mplayer worked fine, especially mplayer works great for me
[08:13] <juano__> lgc: it depends on the codecs mostly not the app
[08:14] <pbureau> yeah get w32codes from sevenseas and be set
[08:14] <juano__> lgc: you should install all the gstream packages, also plugins, codecs, etc
[08:14] <rly> hey, I've tyried to record with sound recorder and now my mic doesn't work
[08:14] <lgc> juano__, I followed some Ubuntu page about installing codecs.
[08:14] <rabeldable_work> anyone here experience x windows problems with starting applications in edgy ?
[08:15] <lgc> juano__, but it was about a year ago, maybe it changed.
[08:15] <steel_lady> juano_ tell me how do you make that desktop icon and mount another partition there?
[08:15] <wceoscar_> i just installed wine through synaptic, were is the launch icon located?
[08:15] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: yup...just registered...i guess
[08:15] <OneOfTheMany> anyone know of a good file manager for linux ?
[08:15] <NaPsTeR_> sounds good
[08:15] <Kajin> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4321/
[08:15] <LjL> wceoscar_: nowhere, i think. just type "wine windowsprogram.exe" in a shell - or perhaps just clicking on the .exe icon will work, too
[08:15] <fliptop> lgc:  did you follow the instructions here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats ?
[08:15] <juano__> wceoscar_: wine *.exe in a terminal, use winecfg for configuring
[08:16] <rjg_> What's alll the textures in /usr/share/nautilus/patterns for????
[08:16] <NaPsTeR_> so we can talk there
[08:16] <LjL> wceoscar_: after you have windows programs installed, those should show up in the menu (or at least they do under KDE)
[08:16] <NaPsTeR_> go back 2 it
[08:16] <NaPsTeR_> answer my question
[08:16] <christianmortal> can someone help me in installing rt61 drivers for linux
[08:16] <juano__> steel_lady: sorry ? what desktop icon ?
[08:16] <lgc> fliptop, I think that's the one I followed...
[08:16] <christianmortal> im so stuck
[08:16] <NaPsTeR_> kieth!!!!!
[08:16] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: didnt see it? what is it?
[08:16] <lgc> juano__, isn't it Audacity what we are looking for?
[08:16] <wceoscar_> i have gnome... where can i go to locate the folder (partition where i want to install the app????
[08:16] <NaPsTeR_> go to da pm
[08:17] <fliptop> lgc:  i've followed the instructions there for several versions of ubuntu and have always gotten xine to work fine.  i suggest not using totem
[08:17] <kitche> lgc: audacity is a sound editor program
[08:17] <christianmortal> can someone help me in installing rt61 drivers for linux
[08:17] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: i'm there

[08:18] <christianmortal> can someone help me in installing rt61 drivers for linux
[08:18] <lgc> fliptop, totem is the default player. I seldom use it, but it doesn't seem to conflict with gxine.
[08:18] <lordkeiden> NaPsTeR_: nope. looks like i'm alone in there
[08:18] <steel_lady> juano_ I did mounting of my partitions through installation application and it created me these icons on my desktop and it called it sda2 and sda6. if i didn't do that, how is it done manually? I have seen administrator mounting all those remote folders the same waye, just putting the direction to them in some form in properties
[08:18] <wceoscar_> what can i do to install my apps on a patition (fat32 storage partition)
[08:18] <kitche> wceoscar_: with wine everythign will be under ~/.wine/drive_c/ by default
[08:18] <juano__> lgc: nope, audacious
[08:18] <NaPsTeR_> well lordkeiden...do u have im?
[08:18] <lgc> kitche, Indeed, but the name is quite similar...

[08:21] <NaPsTeR_> i hear u
[08:21] <saltimbanqui> Hi, I have a question, It's possible to fuse two EXT3 partitions into one?
[08:21] <NaPsTeR_> im adding u now
[08:21] <juano__> lgc: anyway try installing the edgy or dapper package
[08:21] <rabeldable_work> dows anyone here know why it is legal to use the w32 codecs outside of the US ?
[08:21] <lordkeiden> k
[08:21] <wceoscar_> i just have 10 gigs omn my home folde... i have another partition, what should i do to install other apps on that partition through linux im going to install photoshop with wine!
[08:21] <ircusr> who cares
[08:21] <bauer77> can anyone tell me how to get my microphone to work?
[08:21] <Kajin> unop: Any ideas?
[08:21] <rabeldable_work> s/dows/does/
[08:21] <fliptop> Hoosteen:  have you tried installing network-manager-gnome?
[08:21] <juano__> lgc: its just audacious, it probably will work, if it doesnt just uninstall
[08:21] <IdleOne> bauer77: make sure it isnt muted in the volume control
[08:21] <wceoscar_> i just have 10 gigs omn my home folde... i have another partition, what should i do to install other apps on that partition through linux im going to install photoshop with wine!
[08:22] <unop> Kajin,  errm, let's have a look at your resolv.conf again
[08:22] <lgc> juano__, that's next on the list. I am a bit wary of doing it, because last time I ended up with a responseless keyboard.
[08:22] <juano__> steel_lady: ahh you mean partitions
[08:22] <fliptop> Hoosteen:  then following the directions located here:  http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html?
[08:22] <morrolan> fliptop - I've been trying Network-Manager-Gnome for 3 days - I've got the applet showing now, but it can't see my wireless card
[08:22] <Popoi> Hi, I have a question, It's possible to fuse two EXT3 partitions into one?
[08:22] <juano__> steel_lady: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2
[08:22] <Hoosteen> fliptop: thanks for the info..will check it out now..i'm new to the whole linux/ubuntu world...still learing here
[08:23] <juano__> steel_lady: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda5
[08:23] <lgc> fliptop I wonder why I get a 'package not found' error with gstreamer0.10-pitfdll, following the instructions on the link you gave me.
[08:23] <drx> greetings, can anyone help me with "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' " when mounting a partition /dev/sdb2 to a mountpoint?
[08:23] <pbureau> Hoosten I have a similar broadcom card I have the fix for you
[08:23] <juano__> steel_lady: be sure that the dir /media/sda5 works
[08:23] <juano__> steel_lady: exists i mean
[08:23] <fliptop> Hoosteen:  that debianadmin link will set up a little icon in the taskbar that allows automatic connections with wireless networks.
[08:23] <morrolan> drx - what filesystem is on the drive you are trying to mount?
[08:23] <unop> Popoi,  errm, you probably need to copy the contents of one partition into another and then resize them so you can delete the unneeded one
[08:23] <drx> ext3 in an LVM partition
[08:23] <wceoscar_> FAT32
[08:24] <Kajin> unop: Alright, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4323/
[08:24] <Kajin> unop: I can add 192.168.0.1 again, if you want.
[08:24] <juano__> steel_lady: /dev/sda6 would be on the second one, not /dev/sda5
[08:24] <fliptop> lgc:  which link?
[08:24] <rabeldable_work> nobody here knows anything about the w32 codecs ?
[08:24] <drx> morrolan, ext3 in an LVM partition
[08:24] <fliptop> lgc:  the restrictedformats one?
[08:24] <FunnyMan3595> Anybody know what might be causing a C compile to barf on including <stdio.h>?  It's the first line in the file.  Only thing I can come up with is that it's taking a ton of gcc switches. (c,g,02,ansi,some I's, and a bunch of D's)
[08:24] <unop> Kajin,  no, not needed -- how does this fare -- nslookup youtube.com
[08:24] <kitche> wceoscar_: you need to use umask so your user has rights to write to the vfat partition
[08:24] <fliptop> rabeldable_work:  what do you need to know?
[08:24] <bauer77> IdleOne:  Thanks, sometimes I can be a  tard
[08:25] <lgc> fliptop, exactly.
[08:25] <Popoi> unop: Ok, thanks, can I resize partitions with a default tool on Ubuntu or do I need another app?
[08:25] <steel_lady> juano_ is it possible to mount remote disk as device, I mean at least this scratch that I can access through samba so I have that direct access Icon on the desktop, the same like for partitions?
[08:25] <lgc> fliptop, is it no good for Breezy?
[08:25] <IdleOne> bauer77: np it's a common mistake
[08:25] <rabeldable_work> fliptop:  how is installing the w32 codecs legal outside of the US and illegal inside of the US ?
[08:25] <unop> Popoi,  you can use gparted -- probably best if you use a liveCD to do it
[08:25] <Kajin> unop: Server: 192.58.128.30 Address: 192.58.128.30#53  Can't find youtube.com: No answer
[08:25] <Popoi> unop: Oh, I get it.. thanks for the idea
[08:26] <herede> what's the codename for ubuntu 6.06?
[08:26] <KoBB> herede: Dapper Drake
[08:26] <herede> alright, thanks
[08:26] <fliptop> rabeldable_work:  because therre are patent issues at stake.
[08:26] <pbureau> dapper
[08:26] <fliptop> lgc:  i've gotten the restrictedformats working all the way back to 5.10
[08:26] <KoBB> Anyone heard of an ubuntu gamers channel or something ? Thanks
[08:27] <unop> Kajin,  dig youtube.com @192.58.128.30
[08:27] <lgc> flipto)?p, 5.10 is Breezy, right (excuse my bad memory
[08:27] <fliptop> lgc:  sorry, excuse mine - i think the naming conventions are stupid so i usually refer to them by version #
[08:28] <rly> hey, I've tyried to record with sound recorder and now my mic doesn't work
[08:28] <juano__> steel_lady: yes, though it would be the same as for a folder, you need to connect to that share
[08:28] <fliptop> lgc:  i'd recommend upgrading to 'edgy eft' which is version 6.10
[08:28] <MOYAS> esto k es
[08:28] <rabeldable_work> fliptop:  why can't I find a legitimet source for the required codecs that I need to use in the US?  If there were some legal way to acquire the codecs in the US where I would have to pay ~20 bucks then I would do that.... but there is no location to pay the concerned authorities
[08:28] <MOYAS> yo kiero entrar en un sitio xulo
[08:28] <pbureau> !sp | MOYAS
[08:28] <ubotu> moyas: sp: James Clark's SGML parsing tools. In component main, is optional. Version 1.3.4-1.2.1-47 (edgy), package size 158 kB, installed size 564 kB
[08:28] <steel_lady> juano_ why could I then connect whithout any problem to my home on other machine through windows?
[08:28] <juano__> steel_lady: create new location : then enter in the URL smb://<machinename>/<share-i-want-to-connect-to-from-desktop>
[08:28] <MystaMax> juano__, that didn't work. xServer crashed, and I had to restore the old .conf file. Could it be b/c I have the binary installed, and not nvidia-glx?
[08:29] <lgc> fliptop, then you'd probably refer to 'lactrodectus mactans' intead of a 'black widow2...:).
[08:29] <FunnyMan3595> !es | MOYAS
[08:29] <juano__> steel_lady: cause permissions are set right in that other machine
[08:29] <ubotu> MOYAS: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:29] <sorl__> why is kerning always different and wrong in linux?
[08:29] <rabeldable_work> it seems that the codecs were not generated by the concerned authorities thus the concerned authorities would be more concerned about the person or persons that created or copied the codecs instead of the person that downloaded and is using the codecs to view a video
[08:29] <fliptop> rabeldable_work:  i don't think there currently is a "legal" way to do it in the us.  however, there was a discussion on sourceforge about it recently, i'll find the link.....
[08:29] <fliptop> rabeldable_work:  excuse me, slashdot, looking.....
[08:29] <rabeldable_work> ok
[08:29] <Jowi> rabeldable_work, http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2007-01.html
[08:30] <Kajin> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4324/
[08:30] <fliptop> Jowi:  thanks
[08:30] <juano__> MystaMax: mm, are you sure the syntax is right ?
[08:30] <juano__> MystaMax: pastebin your xorg.conf contents please
[08:30] <rabeldable_work> sounds like entrapment to me, if the required application is not available for one os but it is available for others
[08:30] <lgc> fliptop, I will upgrade, but I believe you can't skip over a version without running into trouble.
[08:31] <fliptop> lgc:  then upgrade twice.  or save your stuff on a cd and do a clean install
[08:31] <herede> I need a package called x-window-system-dev which was available in Breezy, but it appears to be gone in 6.06. Ideas?
[08:31] <mohooo> Hi, how can i change my keyboard layout to Swedish?
[08:31] <steel_lady> juano_ permissions for what? If I do something with win, why cant I do it with linux, it should be easyer!
[08:31] <mohooo> dpkg-reconfigure ....?
[08:31] <herede> mohooo: setxkbmap se
[08:31] <fliptop> rabeldable_work:  here's the slashdot link:  http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/16/0330207
[08:31] <unop> Kajin,  hmm, just seems to be forwarding you on -- try this -- dig youtube.com @62.31.144.39
[08:31] <mohooo> herede: will that change permantly>
[08:31] <juano__> steel_lady: the problem is that from windows machine you are logging on to a domain account, which you logon through any computer with, i suggested that you can access the same account through your laptop with ubuntu
[08:31] <herede> mohooo: nope
[08:31] <lgc> fliptop, yes, I will do that for sure.
[08:31] <mohooo> herede: how can i do that?
[08:32] <fliptop> lgc:  good luck, i'm running eft right now, except for my modem problems it's clear sailing
[08:32] <herede> mohooo: dunno, check your xorg.conf perhaps?
[08:32] <MystaMax> juano__, ok gotta get that computer on the network
[08:32] <unop> mohooo,  you should be able to use the gnome-keyboard-properties to change it for you permanently
[08:33] <Kajin> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4326/
[08:33] <lgc> fliptop, do you happen to know what is the utility to reconfigure the keyboard?
[08:33] <juano__> MystaMax: maybe easier if you got a USB stick
[08:33] <herede> mohooo: grep -n 'XkbLayout' /etc/X11/xorg.conf should show you the line you need to modify.
[08:33] <steel_lady> juano_ but when I do it through samba, I am putting in domain account!
[08:33] <fliptop> lgc:  for configuring keyboard shortcuts?
[08:33] <herede> Seriously guys, I need a replacement for the x-window-system-dev package
[08:33] <peter__> oh sorry, no german channel, bye
[08:34] <unop> Kajin,  this server seems to work -- use it in your resolv.conf - nameserver 62.31.144.39
[08:34] <fliptop> lgc:  or for configuring the keyboard for another language?
[08:34] <mohooo> herede: thanks
[08:34] <unop> herede,  doesnt xlibs do it?
[08:34] <juano__> steel_lady: yes, but thats not it, i mean when you logon to your computer
[08:34] <mohooo> hmm
[08:34] <mohooo> my terminal is still fucked
[08:34] <Erealz> hello everyone
[08:34] <mohooo> 
[08:34] <joeljkp> do the intel wireless drivers need firmware, or are they free
[08:34] <mohooo> aterm
[08:34] <IdleOne> !ohmy | mohooo
[08:34] <ubotu> mohooo: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:34] <juano__> steel_lady: just as you do with the other computers
[08:34] <Erealz> first time running ubuntu linux
[08:34] <Jowi> herede, xorg-dev or xserver-xorg-dev?
[08:34] <mohooo> sorry
[08:34] <Kajin> So just delete the 192.58.128.30 one?
[08:35] <Erealz> gota say it a nicee
[08:35] <pbureau> joeljkp, what card ?
[08:35] <Kajin> unop: So just delete the 192.58.128.30 one?
[08:35] <lgc> fliptop, no, to reconfigure the keyboard (the last upgrade rendered my keyboard almost useless).
[08:35] <mohooo> anyone know why my terminal doesent how right chars?
[08:35] <mohooo> swedish keys
[08:35] <mohooo> 
[08:35] <joeljkp> pbureau: any
[08:35] <unop> Kajin,  i'd just add this one up top
[08:35] <Jowi> mohooo, only in the terminal?
[08:35] <mohooo> Jowi: yeah
[08:35] <At0mic_PC> Hi guys.
[08:35] <mohooo> seems like it
[08:35] <fliptop> lgc:  dunno, i've never had a kb problem.
[08:35] <pbureau> joeljkp, you can find intel linux driver on their web site for free yes
[08:35] <unop> mohooo,  did you use the gnome-keyboard-properties to choose the layout?
[08:35] <Jowi> mohooo, is it specific to gnome-terminal or is it the same in xterm?
[08:35] <mysta> juano__: here ya go..... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4329/
[08:36] <At0mic_PC> I just installed ubuntu today and I have a couple of questions.
[08:36] <mohooo> i use aterm
[08:36] <joeljkp> pbureau: yeah, but do they use loadable firmware?
[08:36] <NaPsTeR_> how can i update gaim?
[08:36] <steel_lady> ok juano_ so first you are suggesting me to change the name of my computer then to make one more account on it to be like domain account?
[08:36] <joeljkp> pbureau: like atheros/madwifi, etc.
[08:36] <Jowi> mohooo, try xterm and see if that work
[08:36] <ompaul> http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/install.html  <-- read that she knows her stuff and tells you how to sort it
[08:36] <Kajin> unop: Alright, done and restarting networking.
[08:36] <juano__> steel_lady: yes, so you can access that account from your laptop
[08:36] <fliptop> At0mic_PC:  go ahead.
[08:36] <The_Machine> I'm having an issue that Dialogs aren't popping up automatically - they only will once I click on the window that is opening them..
[08:36] <At0mic_PC> First question I was trying to install gnome-ppp with Add/Remove but then I decided it was taking too long and wanted to do something else. I canceled it but now any program I click on gives an error.
[08:37] <juano__> steel_lady: when you logon from any computer with your account, you get that desktop right ?
[08:37] <The_Machine> can someone help jme?
[08:37] <wmn_> !pastebin
[08:37] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:37] <juano__> steel_lady: the same desktop i mean
[08:37] <ompaul> acez, please don't change your nick in this channel with 1k+ users in it
[08:37] <steel_lady> yes juano_ I just do not get the wallpaper on other machines
[08:37] <pbureau> joeljkp, I am not following are you asking if we can patch the wifi card firmware from linux ?
[08:37] <fliptop> At0mic_PC:  use system->administration->synaptic package manager instead
[08:37] <MystaMax> juano__, did you see the link to my pastebin of my xorg.conf file?
[08:37] <NaPsTeR_> how can i get a newer version of gaim?
[08:37] <rabeldable_work> thanks fliptop
[08:37] <juano__> MystaMax: yes
[08:37] <unop> Kajin,  i have to go now -- if that doesnt work -- use these as nameservers 62.31.144.39  195.188.53.175 and 62.31.112.39
[08:37] <mohooo> anyone know a good msn client that supports "webcam", not aMSN please.
[08:37] <mohooo> i dont like that
[08:38] <kitche> NaPsTer: compile it
[08:38] <alephant> Hi everybody!
[08:38] <MystaMax> juano__, ook, sorry...
[08:38] <At0mic_PC> fliptop: Ok
[08:38] <rabeldable_work> this morning I had a problem with my edgy system
[08:38] <juano__> MystaMax: is this your working one or your not working one ?
[08:38] <steel_lady> but juano_ then if I do that I will get red hat desktop on ubuntu?
[08:38] <MystaMax> juano__, the working one
[08:38] <rabeldable_work> the x windows did not lock up but I could not start any new apps
[08:38] <Kajin> unop: Alright, thank you very much for your help and I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time.
[08:38] <cikas> i can not instal 6.10:at installing samba server failled
[08:38] <rabeldable_work> I tried to start a teminal to reboot and the terminal would not start
[08:38] <alephant> I've got a question about how hotplug assigns device names to USB 2.0 mass storage devices.
[08:38] <cikas> ?????
[08:38] <At0mic_PC> Second question: I dual boot. I have archlinux on here that I somehow messed up and was wondering is there a way to import my mail and browser settings?
[08:38] <MystaMax> juano__, i also noticed that 3d screensavers are extremely slow
[08:38] <rabeldable_work> I could not start any new windows, so I had to reboot by pressing the reset button on the computer....
[08:38] <fliptop> rabeldable_work:  do you get an error?
[08:39] <rabeldable_work> no error
[08:39] <alephant> I presume that device names (sd{a,b,c}) are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis?
[08:39] <rabeldable_work> it was weird...
[08:39] <rabeldable_work> I never had that problem with dapper
[08:39] <mohooo> anyone know a good msn client that supports "webcam"? not aMSN please.
[08:39] <MystaMax> At0mic_PC, I'd suggest removing the hard drive and mounting it in another linux computer, if possible
[08:39] <juano__> MystaMax: try changing "nv" to "nvidia" in the Driver section
[08:39] <kitche> alephant: pretty much whatever the kernel sees first gets a and so on
[08:39] <pbureau> !repeat | mohooo
[08:39] <fliptop> At0mic_PC: import from archlinux?
[08:39] <ubotu> mohooo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[08:39] <alephant> And that every time a device is plugged into a system, if all else has remained constant (i.e. no new devices), that it will always have the same device name?
[08:39] <joeljkp> pbureau: never mind
[08:39] <kitche> mohooo: amsn is the only one that I know of that does
[08:39] <NaPsTeR_> ??
[08:40] <joeljkp> pbureau: some wireless drivers need closed-source loadable firmware files to work correctly
[08:40] <juano__> steel_lady: right you got red hat on the others
[08:40] <joeljkp> pbureau: i was wondering if the intel drivers are among them or not
[08:40] <MaximLevitsky> I am going to buy a new computer . I look at asus's motherboard PSLD2-ES. They say that it has on board marvell NIC , but southbridge has NIC too. As I know both are supported under linux, but I wonder , does linux see this disabled NIC, or maybe I don't understand someting.
[08:40] <alephant> So if I have a system which doesn't get new devices plugged into it, and I plug a USB2.0 mass storage device, I can count on it always being sdd every time?
[08:40] <pbureau> joeljkp, ah... the only one I know that neet fwcutter is BCM cards (from experience)
[08:40] <GalaZ> have anyone world of warcraft installed?
[08:41] <fliptop> GalaZ:  what version?
[08:41] <voicu> hi, does anyone know an ide for C++ that works like BorlandC for DOS? i'm talking about the fact that it does compile+asm+link+run at once. preferably console too.
[08:41] <steel_lady> juano_ then I wouldn't be able to access any of my ubuntu programs and settings? I don't want to work like that
[08:41] <GalaZ> i've world of warcraft burning crusade..
[08:41] <MaximLevitsky> and  I know that board has only one NIC
[08:41] <kitche> alpahnt: usually internal devices have pritority over external devices for names
[08:41] <GalaZ> plaing on ufficial server
[08:41] <GalaZ> but how can i install world of warcraft correctly on kubuntu?
[08:41] <ompaul> alephant, so hotplug is dead and replaced by udev afik
[08:41] <pbureau> MaximLevitsky, usually you can tell if linux sees the card by using lspci (should say disabled if turned off)
[08:41] <juano__> steel_lady: no right, just remembered you had red hat on the others
[08:42] <alephant> kitche: but it's not like the bad old days where two identical PCI cards would receive eth{0,1} in an unpredictable way every bootup...
[08:42] <fliptop> GalaZ:  according to http://appdb.winehq.org/, WoW version 2.0.x works
[08:42] <ins3rt> quit
[08:42] <cikas> i can not instal 6.10:at installing samba server failled:any ideea?
[08:42] <alephant> kitche: as long as the only thing changing is the ext device coming and going, it should always get the same device name?
[08:42] <GalaZ> fliptop
[08:42] <GalaZ> i've downloaded wine
[08:42] <GalaZ> can we do a query?
[08:42] <alephant> ompaul: thanks for the headsup -- hotplug was a PITA
[08:42] <kitche> alephant: no well you can force udev to give the same name to the device if you want
[08:42] <vbbasti> can someone tell me the shortcut for the system-monitor
[08:42] <pbureau> GalaZ, try to use one line for your questions, dont use ENTER as punctuation, thanks
[08:43] <fliptop> pbureau:  i've got him in private chat now.
[08:43] <alephant> kitche: udev can name based on what identifier?  ext3 fs label?
[08:43] <MaximLevitsky> pbureau , I don't have the card , I only know that it has marvell nic and that southbridge NIC is not connected to anything, but I don't know whenever I will still see this annoying 'dead' device
[08:44] <NaPsTeR_> how can i upgrade my gaim from 1.5.1 to 2?
[08:44] <NaPsTeR_> !ubotu gaim
[08:44] <ubotu> Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.
[08:44] <Jowi> mohooo, aterm doesn't seem to work correctly with swedish chars. just tried it. (maybe no proper support for the charset)
[08:44] <juano__> steel_lady: you should try this, enter with your account to one of the computers, then try to share your files in samba
[08:44] <pbureau> MaximLevitsky, it might but if disabledin bios, maybe it wont.. not really sure, but if it is not used it will just be another entry in /etc/network/interfaces and you can always comment it out (forcing a dissuing it)
[08:45] <At0mic_P1> HymnToLife: Sorry I got diconnected.
[08:45] <juano__> steel_lady: i think anyway that you could connect to the server and grab your files from there, that should work
[08:45] <alephant> All, here's another question:
[08:46] <juano__> steel_lady: you should try smb://<servername>/
[08:46] <steel_lady> juano_ you have to be more specific with me. to enter with ssh or samba or how and how to share my files?
[08:46] <juano__> steel_lady: and see what you get in there
[08:46] <alephant> I have a Promise SATA / RAID controller which doesn't play nicely with Dapper.
[08:46] <MaximLevitsky> pbureau  , thanks.
[08:46] <juano__> steel_lady: you should try smb://<servername>/
[08:46] <At0mic_P1> is there a way to import my email and browser settings from another linux installation on this machine?
[08:46] <kitche> alephant: by writing a udev rule gentoo-wiki has some good udev rules not sure if ubuntu has a good udev rule writing tutorial
[08:46] <alephant> To make it perfectly clear, I don't care about RAID.  I do not care about fakeraid.  I do not care about dm-raid :-)
[08:47] <alephant> kitche: in the middle of reading that now.  Thx.
[08:47] <steel_lady> juano_ the problem is that I am not sure what is the name of this general server. in mail we have user@ll.organization.com
[08:47] <alephant> The problem with this card is that the sata_promise driver does not support this card until ~2.6.16
[08:47] <fiXXXerMet> Is there a way to convert a filesystem type fd (linux raid autodetect) to 83?
[08:47] <alephant> Which isn't in dapper.
[08:47] <g333k_work> hi, how can I modify the content of the gdm login window?
[08:47] <juano__> steel_lady: yeah ll.organization is the domain
[08:47] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: do you care about the data on that partition?
[08:48] <juano__> steel_lady: you need the server name
[08:48] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: Yes, I need to get to the data somehow.
[08:48] <jzl> Hello, I have the proprietary ATI drivers installed and working for my 9600 XT.. however I cant get DRI enabled.  Can someone point me in the right direction
[08:48] <alephant> So I got 2.6.19 from kernel.org, and made a .deb for the new version, and now I can see the SATA drives attached to this controller.
[08:48] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: But I can't mount it (mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member')
[08:48] <CAiRO-> hi
[08:48] <MaximLevitsky> Maybe somebody has experience with asus mboards based on I945/I965 that have o/b marvell nic , on those boards is ICH7 nic shown?
[08:48] <juano__> jzl: Option load    "dri"  in xorg.conf maybe
[08:48] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: right, you don't wanna change the partition type!
[08:48] <steel_lady> juano_ can I check it somehow from redhat computer?
[08:48] <fiXXXerMet> ok :)
[08:48] <lgc> juano__, do you happen to know what utility I have to run to reconfigure my keyboard?
[08:49] <fiXXXerMet> It was a raid0, so the data should be there.
[08:49] <jzl> juano__, thanks let me look
[08:49] <pbureau> MaximLevitsky, does lspci see the card as what ?
[08:49] <alephant> Problem is that this dapper box "sometimes" oopses instead of booting 2.6.19.
[08:49] <pbureau> MaximLevitsky, just ignore me.... im brain dead...lol
[08:49] <CAiRO-> i have a problem with a friends ubuntu installation i've just been doing through vnc: i tried to make one of his ntfs partitions smaller to install ubuntu there, but that failed because of an active partition on that disk.. but now the ntfs partition that i've tried to make smaller cannot be mounted anymore
[08:49] <fiXXXerMet> What should I do with it, alephant?
[08:50] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: hang on, working on my own question first :-)
[08:50] <fiXXXerMet> ok, no problem.
[08:50] <alephant> Actually, I realize that I can collect a whole lot more data.

[08:51] <Lam_> what's the best audio tagging program? i typically use easytag, but i would prefer something with a qt-based interface since i'm on kde, but if easytag is the best, i don't mind using it
[08:52] <alephant> uh...

[08:54] <alephant> THat was awesome.

[08:54] <IdleOne> he was given the !pastebin twice
[08:54] <Yodude> hey i just wanted ito ask you guys a question, i noticed on the nVIDIA website a driver for my geForce for Linux, is this a full driver and down it include 3D acceleration?
[08:54] <lskd-255> is he a bonehead?

[08:54] <Mez> ompaul, too quick for me
[08:54] <mohooo> anyone know an application that allows me to record a special area on the screen_
[08:54] <juano__> lol maybe he though he had to type !pastebin before the paste lol
[08:54] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: raid0 != mirroring.  raid0 == striping.
[08:55] <Lam_> maybe he thought !pastebin was a trigger that he could shortcut instead of an ubotu message trigger
[08:55] <mohooo> ?
[08:55] <ompaul> Mez, concur
[08:55] <juano__> check it out !pastebin Section "Module"
[08:55] <fiXXXerMet> er, oops.  It is raid1 then
[08:55] <juano__> lol
[08:55] <kitche> juano__: he did
[08:55] <Mez> ompaul, I did a /cs k jzl pastebin, but it didnt work cause you'd already kicked
[08:55] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: sure?  Because if it's raid0 you're hurtin'.
[08:55] <IdleOne> Lam_: had he read the !pastebin factoid he would of known how to use it
[08:55] <Slart> Yodude: if it's the normal linux one, then yes..
[08:56] <ompaul> Mez, offside :)
[08:56] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: Not sure, but if it is raid0, I'm screwed.  If it is raid1, than I have a shot.  Either way, whatever idea you have is worth a shot
[08:56] <Slart> Yodude: it's the same that's in the repos.. only a bit newer
[08:56] <Yodude> what do you mean the normal linux one?
[08:56] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: was this "surviving" disk the boot device of a system?
[08:56] <fiXXXerMet> yes
[08:56] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: It was the "source" drive of the mirror
[08:56] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: ok, so put it back in the original system
[08:56] <Yodude> umm than i'll download it beforer i install this way i can use my download manager
[08:56] <alephant> ...
[08:57] <metres> Hi all, do anyone know how to fix my bootsplash which is appearing in the bottom right corner ?
[08:57] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: a meaningless distinction.  Once the array is up, they're equals.
[08:57] <fastly> i'm thinking of installing ubuntu on my vaio. does anyone here know if the following is supported? 1) sony bluetooth mouse (that works with built-in bluetooth), 2) built-in motion-eye video camera, 3) blu ray drive (including burning), 4) Intel Core 2 Duo, 5) Built-in digital/aux tv tuner
[08:57] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: I did, but it won't boot (no idea why), so I'm trying to get it from another machine.
[08:57] <juano__> steel_lady: ill be back soon
[08:57] <v4m21> Hi sri.
[08:57] <Slart> Yodude: I only know of one linux graphics driver on the nvidia site..  if it's the geforce one.. then it's what I said.. but you might be looking at some 5 year old driver for something weird on a backwater part of nvidia.org =)
[08:57] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: it won't boot if there's no grub on the MBR of the drive.  In future, make sure you put grub on each drive in a RAID array.
[08:57] <steel_lady> ok juano_
[08:57] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: so put it back in the system
[08:57] <Yodude> btw my Card is GeForce FX 5200 is it well supported in linux?
[08:58] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: and boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD.
[08:58] <Yodude> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[08:58] <Yodude> see it for yourself
[08:58] <HymnToLife> yock, yes
[08:58] <HymnToLife> Yodude*
[08:58] <Slart> Yodude: I would guess... yes.. using that driver it should be supported.. but go ahead and try.. see if you like it.. you can always change it back
[08:58] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: It can create a "degraded" array (only 1/2 drives active), and you can then copy the data wherever you want it to go.
[08:58] <MikeBeecham> hello...does anyone know how to set up dual monitors in Kubuntu?
[08:58] <sribabu> Hi v4m21
[08:58] <Slart> Yodude: I'm using a 7900gtx myself
[08:58] <drx> can anyone tell me why I have an empty lost+found folder where my files used to be?
[08:59] <Slart> drx: you formatted your drive?
[08:59] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: Oh, cool. How do I get it to do the "Degraded" array?  Got a doc I can read?
[08:59] <ompaul> !xinerama
[08:59] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[08:59] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: Or, you can add grub to the remaining drive, run at 50% strength for a while, and then add a replacement drive when you get one.
[08:59] <Yodude> but they have different choices, IA32, IA64, AMD64/EM64T, which one do i choose?
[08:59] <Slart> drx: or you somehow mounted the wrong drive?
[08:59] <drx> Slart, no just ran install with recovery b/c it wouldn't mount, NO format
[08:59] <MikeBeecham> thanks
[08:59] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: I already have a new system in place, just some emails on the drive I need to get off
[08:59] <fiXXXerMet> So that isn't an issue.
[08:59] <Slart> Yodude: what kind of computer are you running?
[09:00] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: whatever gets you on the happy side of the 80/20 curve :-)
[09:00] <Mez> om,/cs o
[09:00] <Yodude> a computer with an x86 intel processor 32-bit 2500GHz
[09:00] <Slart> drx: perhaps it was broken? I'm just guessing here.. I've never recorered a drive in linux
[09:00] <fiXXXerMet> 2500GHz, shit yeah.
[09:00] <Slart> Yodude: ia32 then
[09:00] <Yodude> lol
[09:00] <Yodude> hey btgw
[09:00] <IdleOne> !ohmy | fiXXXerMet
[09:00] <ubotu> fiXXXerMet: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:00] <steel_lady> there has to be the way to ask the computer in the network: which is your server???
[09:00] <Yodude> do you think my graphics will be faster in ubuntu than windows?
[09:00] <johny_> Was someone supposed to be here ?
[09:00] <fiXXXerMet> (Sorry)
[09:01] <Yodude> ;)
[09:01] <Mez> welcome back
[09:01] <Slart> Yodude: probably not.. I think they spend a little more time on the windows drivers.. but software could get faster.. perhaps
[09:01] <MikeBeecham> does it matter whether the gfx are faster?  Linux is not used to run high-end games anyway?
[09:01] <IdleOne> take 2!
[09:01] <MikeBeecham> unless through Wine
[09:01] <Mez> IdleOne, take 3 :P
[09:01] <IdleOne> Mez: :P
[09:01] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: IIANM, the Ubuntu LiveCD should automagically create and mount the array.  Either the "GUI environment" or the "rescue/repair" option should do it.  Play around, it's almost impossible to "break" the partition.
[09:01] <ompaul> jzl, now tell the nice people what the url is :)
[09:01] <MikeBeecham> can I just say...
[09:02] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: just don't fdisk or mkfs on it :-D
[09:02] <fiXXXerMet> alephant: I will try that :)  Thank you for the help.
[09:02] <Slart> Yodude: but you'll be a better person.. and you'll smell better using linux ;)
[09:02] <jzl> ok.. the issue is that I cant enable DRI
[09:02] <MikeBeecham> I've been using Linux now for 5 days...and I'm blown away by how good it is
[09:02] <Yodude> i'll tell you something, i will use linux EXTENSIVELY for Google earthing lol:P
[09:02] <jzl> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4332/
[09:02] <Yodude> :P
[09:02] <Yodude> :P)
[09:02] <Yodude> ;) :)
[09:02] <Lunar_Lamp> MikeBeecham, yes, you may say ;-)
[09:02] <johny_> was jono Bacon supposed to be here?
[09:02] <MikeBeecham> why thank you :D
[09:02] <Mez> johny_, he's in #ubuntu-es for a meeting
[09:02] <alephant> MikeBeecham: wait 'till you can start refusing to do tech support for your friends' and family's Windows systems :-)
[09:02] <Mez> johny_, or he was ....
[09:02] <MikeBeecham> I cant beleive how much better than windoze Linux is
[09:03] <johny_> Mez: thanks for info
[09:03] <MikeBeecham> muhahaha
[09:03] <MikeBeecham> cant wait
[09:03] <drx> Slart, hardware is OK
[09:03] <alephant> fiXXXerMet: hope you work it out.
[09:03] <MikeBeecham> seriously though...i didnt realise that it was as good as it is...I was taken by surprise really
[09:03] <jzl> I have the proprietary ATI drivers installed and working for my 9600 XT.. however I cant get DRI enabled.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4332/
[09:03] <MikeBeecham> I'm currently tryin out a Kubuntu liveCD
[09:03] <alephant> I MUST go AFK or I'll spend the entire day in IRC instead of billing hours :-/
[09:03] <Slart> drx: hmm.. isn't there a log of what the recovery thingy did? it didn't warn you?
[09:03] <moocakes> sup
[09:03] <fliptop> i've got a modem problem - scanModem told me to use sl-modem-daemon, which i installed and configured, and minicom lets me access it w/ atz, but i get 'NO CARRIER' when trying to dial - any thoughts anyone?
[09:04] <MikeBeecham> might have to partition and create a dual-boot system
[09:04] <Mez> jzl, please dont repeat yourself, we saw the problem the first time
[09:04] <ompaul> MikeBeecham, please don't use the enter key as a punctuation mark, its part of what makes it so great ;-)
[09:04] <nysosym> anyone know a good font manager like the osx one?
[09:04] <MikeBeecham> sorry, i dont understand?
[09:04] <drx> Slart,  I installed Windows and someone told me that it may incorrectly number partitions and overwrite parition table, the repair threw a "bad superblock" error but couldn't fix it
[09:04] <MikeBeecham> enter key as punctuation?
[09:05] <MikeBeecham> confused!!!!!
[09:05] <ompaul> MikeBeecham, ehh, please don't use enter in place of commas, get all your question into one line ;-) (you did comments)
[09:05] <CAiRO-> i have a problem with a friends ubuntu installation i've just been doing through vnc: i tried to make one of his ntfs partitions smaller to install ubuntu there, but that failed because of an active partition on that disk.. but now the ntfs partition that i've tried to make smaller cannot be mounted anymore
[09:05] <Slart> drx: yes.. windows can be like a drunk friend.. no consideration for other =)
[09:05] <alephant> jzl: tar is good for your skin tone.
[09:05] <blippe> how do i set up a split betweeen two channels in irssi?
[09:05] <CAiRO-> i've had 3 operations in the queue, i hope it didn't try to format /dev/sda6 even though the resizing failed
[09:05] <Mez> jzl, if you're nice, we'll make sure it's duck feathers rather than goose feathers :P
[09:05] <ompaul> MikeBeecham, if it is still confusing msg me
[09:05] <alephant> Goose feathers *itch*.
[09:05] <Yodude> jzl: how did you write like that?
[09:05] <jzl> like?
[09:05] <viller> are all fonts, that come with Ubuntu, free (software)?
[09:06] <Mez> Yodude, /me does something
[09:06] <jzl> Yodude, / me
[09:06] <alephant> Yodude: /help me
[09:06] <fliptop> viller:  the ones that come w/ it are, to install others you need msttcorefonts
[09:06] <Mez> alephant, why did my modem just dial 911 ? :P
[09:06] <alephant> LOL
[09:06] <lordkeiden> so, anyone know how to get my 3 year old webcam to work in ubuntu?
[09:06] <Slart> drx: but it shouldn't kill your partitions..  but I'm not very good with these kinds of problems.. you should try finding someone that actually knows what he's doing, instead of me guessing about stuff
[09:06] <viller> fliptop: I don't need msttcorefonts. I just needed to know if I can use those fonts to create stuff
[09:07] <fliptop> lordkeiden:  did you follow instructions found here:
[09:07] <UberPsyX> hi, does anyone know how to tell my pc how to send the interntet out of the pc's ethernet port so i can pick up the net from my wireless pci card and put it out via the ethernet/cat 5 port?
[09:07] <fliptop> lordkeiden:  sorry, here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[09:08] <lordkeiden> fliptop: lol...glad u didnt use clear text!
[09:08] <fliptop> lordkeiden:  yeah, i hit enter by accident
[09:09] <lordkeiden> fliptop: lol...thanks
[09:09] <fliptop> viller:  you can use those fonts all you want, but if you install something like scribus you'll need the msttcorefonts too

[09:10] <lordkeiden> for all u who get cranky when no one answers your question... patience is a virtue. I asked 5 times today about my webcam before anyone answered me.
[09:10] <UberPsyX> hi, does anyone know how to tell my pc how to send the interntet out of the pc's ethernet port so i can pick up the net from my wireless pci card and put it out via the ethernet/cat 5 port?
[09:10] <lordkeiden> not complaining, just saying.
[09:10] <blippe> At0mic_PC: close synaptic
[09:11] <Yodude> :)
[09:11] <jordo23> Does anyone know how to play quicktime encoded video in Linux/Ubuntu?
[09:12] <fliptop> jordo23:  mplayer plays qt movies, according to here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[09:12] <FunnyLookinHat> jordo23, as does xine and gxine
[09:12] <FunnyLookinHat> *as do
[09:12] <Yodude> btw i need to download that driver so bye
[09:12] <jordo23> FunnyLookinHat: How do you get xine to?  Kaffeine?
[09:12] <jzl> Anyone have experience with the ATI proprietary Drivers and DRI?
[09:13] <fliptop> jordo23:  did you follow the instructions at the restrictedformats link?
[09:13] <Yodude> P.S: the music player doesn't supported the format, the backend player does, which is probably gstreamer so check for gstremaer plugins
[09:13] <y0hm> yes , bad experience :p
[09:13] <jzl> jordo23, w32codecs?
[09:13] <y0hm> lol , no they worked ok , but it's a few weeks ago that i installed them ...
[09:13] <FunnyLookinHat> jordo23, I think libxine-extracodecs is what does it
[09:13] <CptAJ[vzla] > hey there dudes, need some help here... Ubuntu just locked me out for some reason. I go into the login screen, type my username and password and then the screen goes blank and reloads the login screen.
[09:14] <jordo23> fliptop: I don't use Mplayer though...
[09:14] <Megiddo> Hello, how can I update from hoary to dapper?
[09:14] <CptAJ[vzla] > no "wrong username or password" message. It just loads up again
[09:14] <fliptop> jordo23:  according to the restrictedformats link, it will work in all players w/ the win32 codecs
[09:14] <hadron> jzl: i gave up and got nvidia :(
[09:14] <jzl> hadron, lol
[09:14] <jordo23> fliptop: will check....thanks...
[09:14] <CptAJ[vzla] > before it happened synaptic was giving me an xauthority error about my user
[09:14] <CptAJ[vzla] > any ideas?
[09:15] <fliptop> CptAJ[vzla] :  did you try booting into single user mode then changing your password?
[09:15] <hadron> jzl: its true unfortunately. got sick and tired of billions of different how to's and conflicting advice.
[09:15] <winston> !permissions
[09:15] <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
[09:15] <winston> handy
[09:15] <jzl> hadron, I am in that spot right now.  I just NOW got my dual monitors working
[09:16] <jzl> hadron, and now the ATI Control Panel wont load at all!
[09:16] <CptAJ[vzla] > <fliptop> the password is correct and so is the username. I'm sure of it. It doesn't give me an error, it just reloads so it cant be the password.
[09:16] <jzl> Hadron, "Failed to execute child process "fireglcontrolpanel" (No such file or directory"
[09:16] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , so ctrl+alt+f1 and check that by logging in
[09:16] <hadron> even with nvidia it took me eons to get my dual screen working. works now - and much better than the windows equivalent I must say.
[09:17] <jzl> very frustrating for a *nix newb
[09:17] <Megiddo> How can I update from hoary to dapper?
[09:17] <hadron> is hw rendering working?
[09:17] <fliptop> ok, i've been lurking for an hour and helping some users, is there anyone willing to help me w/ my modem problem?
[09:17] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , and if that works I suggest something like "sudo rm .Xauthority"
[09:17] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> I'll go try that. brb
[09:17] <ompaul> then ctrl+alt+f7 and enhuy it

[09:20] <GITs> its currently at 100mb/s but i need it set to 10mb/s
[09:20] <HeXiLed>  anyone knows how to use vmware tools  in vmware ?> i have ubuntu on vmware and i need to mnake the screen bigger  ( all my boxes have other distros )
[09:20] <KDan> just befriend a linux guru and he can do that for you in a jiffy </networking answer>
[09:20] <HeXiLed> GITs cap it with iptabes
[09:20] <fliptop> p3er:  looks like those secsup.org urls don't exist
[09:20] <HeXiLed> *iptables
[09:20] <GITs> how do i do that, sorry absolute noob
[09:20] <aalhamad> how can i set a keypass for a folder?
[09:20] <GITs> msg me if you can :S
[09:21] <HeXiLed> i cant.
[09:21] <Borgus> HeXiLed: It's been a while since I've used vmware, but I believe there should be something in the vmware menu that is something like "install vmware tools"
[09:21] <jzl> how can I tell what I have x.org or xfree86
[09:21] <HeXiLed> u would not know how anyway. ( since u say you are a noob)
[09:21] <GITs> lol
[09:21] <HeXiLed> Borgus  yes. and i am compiling the tools
[09:21] <Borgus> HeXiLed: Once you have it installed, there should be a command "vmtools" or some such thing; run it in the command line
[09:21] <Borgus> HeXiLed: OK, hope it goes well!
[09:21] <HeXiLed> Borgus  the issue is that asks me for the c headers of my kernel
[09:21] <HeXiLed>  the path
[09:21] <y0hm> Hexiled : u install it  ( it mounts a cd-image if you select it in vmware ) and then it takes care of the mouse & the display in the background..also you can configure some things using the command : vmware-tools !
[09:22] <HeXiLed> do you know  the path
[09:22] <ti> hi, my ubuntu wont load anymore, it hangs at 'waiting for root file system...this is on a system where i nested a Dynebolic live CD, dit it mess up the ubuntu unstallation ?
[09:22] <Borgus> HeXiLed: Ah, *if* you've installed the kernel source and/or headers, it should be in /usr/src/linux
[09:22] <HeXiLed> y0hm  for some reason  its not doing that with ubuntu
[09:22] <y0hm> hexiled : u dint need to give path
[09:22] <y0hm> hexiled : u dint need to give path
[09:22] <HeXiLed> i will check a couple things
[09:23] <y0hm> hexiled : it doesnt mount the cd ?
[09:23] <y0hm> what vmware r u using ?
[09:23] <y0hm> i think it works the same on both server & workstation if i'm correct ...
[09:24] <GITs> can someone tell me where i can get info on iptables
[09:24] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> no dice. I logged in perfectly through ctrl+alt+f1, deleted de xauthority file like you said and nothing. Same error, login screen just reloads when I enter the info
[09:24] <kizlum> GITs => man iptables .
[09:24] <GITs> terminal i assume :)
[09:24] <Bo2> Hi
[09:24] <kizlum> ^^
[09:24] <HeXiLed> iptables is not a noob thing btw
[09:24] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , that is most strange, have you more than one user on the machine?
[09:25] <GITs> i can guess, but i need to sort it out, i know about the ip protocols etc, just not how to config on linux
[09:25] <steel_lady> juano_ are you here? I did it!
[09:25] <kizlum> HeXiled : iptables is not a noob thing but he can try :)
[09:25] <ompaul> !noob
[09:25] <ubotu> Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[09:25] <HeXiLed> true
[09:25] <HeXiLed> he should
[09:25] <HeXiLed> some guis make it easier
[09:26] <HeXiLed>  like kmyfirewall  from kde
[09:26] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> I didn't use to, but when it broke I tried creating another one with useradd, which wasn't even recognized as a user so I figure I did it wrong. But yeah, before it broke there was only one user and root
[09:26] <ompaul> !enter HeXiLed
[09:26] <HeXiLed> or firestarter
[09:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter hexiled - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:26] <HeXiLed> ?
[09:26] <GITs> ok, will have a look at them
[09:26] <Bo2> I'm just wondering how i change the resolution in Edgy, In /etc/X11/xorg.conf every res is set to 1280x800, but i can only choose 1024x728 from the change resolution list...
[09:26] <GITs> thanks
[09:26] <GITs> :)
[09:26] <Bo2> anyone knows what i'm doing wrong?
[09:26] <y0hm> bo2 1024x728 ?
[09:26] <miles_> Hi there, just a quick question > How many packages are included in Ubuntu?
[09:26] <kizlum> HeXiLed or xterm! (okay, I leave ->[] )
[09:26] <ompaul> HeXiLed, the bot did not answer, please don't use an enter key when a comma would do
[09:27] <y0hm> bo : mb 1280x800 iis not a valid resolution
[09:27] <HeXiLed> ompaul ?
[09:27] <miles_> A round number 'll do it
[09:27] <lordkeiden> miles_: a lot
[09:27] <HeXiLed> im lost
[09:27] <ompaul> HeXiLed, something to do with my typo, I wanted to do this
[09:27] <ompaul> !enter | HeXiLed
[09:27] <ubotu> HeXiLed: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:27] <HeXiLed> ah
[09:27] <miles_> lordkeiden: yeah for sure :p
[09:27] <HeXiLed> ok
[09:28] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> so? no ideas? anyone else?
[09:28] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , why root, you don't need one,
[09:28] <miles_> I'm writing a paper on how my school could adopt Ubuntu Linux as its main OS
[09:28] <esaym> how the heck do I draw a straight line in gimp??
[09:28] <miles_> I'm just in need of stats
[09:28] <morrolan> esaym - try #gimp
[09:28] <y0hm> miles : using edubuntu ?
[09:28] <miles_> esaym: hold Shift
[09:28] <Bo2> y0hm: 1024x768 i mean ofc, but my monitor has a native res of 1280x800...
[09:28] <Megiddo> How can I update from hoary to dapper? Anyone know?
[09:28] <esaym> oh cool
[09:28] <miles_> y0hm: no.
[09:28] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> I don't remember, there must've been a reason for it. Either way, I need to fix this login problem...
[09:28] <esaym> ok hold shift, kick ass
[09:28] <fliptop> miles_:  there's thousands of programs available, not sure how to count but the synaptic package manager has quite a lot
[09:28] <miles_> That's a MBA after all
[09:28] <esaym> thank you miles
[09:29] <quaal> how do i install a program that is in a .rpm and has a .sh file ?
[09:29] <morrolan> I hate Network-Manager!  AArrrgghhhh!
[09:29] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , by doing so all bets are off, you have created an unknown situation
[09:29] <y0hm> bo2 : ok if its a native res .. if not xorg defaults to some other ...
[09:29] <miles_> fliptop: not those available via apt, just what's on the install disc
[09:29] <kizlum> Megiddo, You can update your /etc/apt/sources.list (just replace hoary to dapper) and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[09:29] <ti> hi, my ubuntu wont load anymore, it hangs at 'waiting for root file system...this is on a system where i nested a Dynebolic live CD, dit it mess up the ubuntu installation ? please help
[09:29] <ompaul> quaal, 99% of the time you don't, add repos and get it for your own system
[09:29] <y0hm> ti : probably ...
[09:29] <ompaul> !repos | quaal
[09:29] <ubotu> quaal: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:30] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> it was working fine for quite a long time. Besides, isnt the root user a default in all linux distros? I don't even remember creating it, just setting a password for it.
[09:30] <Bo2> y0hm: How do i fix it then?
[09:30] <Megiddo> kizlum: The forums were saying that was a hacky way to do it, but if that's my only option...
[09:30] <morrolan> ti - you're a bit knackered there...
[09:30] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , no
[09:30] <Snoopdog1> so am i the only homosexual in here_
[09:30] <ompaul> !rootsudo | CptAJ[vzla] 
[09:30] <ubotu> CptAJ[vzla] : sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:30] <shadowhywind> does anyone know how to change the interface name of say ndiswrapper?
[09:30] <KDan> Snoopdog1: you're the only gay in the village
[09:30] <y0hm> ti : use the ubuntu cd and try to rescue the sustem by reinstalling grub
[09:30] <kizlum> Megiddo, I don't know this way, so...
[09:30] <morrolan> Snoopdog1 - this is a support channel - for generic chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:31] <steel_lady> ok, how can I create launcher that will execute some remote location through konqueror???
[09:31] <miles_> ompaul: no stats on this page
[09:31] <ti> can i just choose 4recover mode in grub? < y0hm
[09:31] <fliptop> miles_:  if you unzip the Packages.gz files on the install disk, you'll have the list you need
[09:31] <y0hm> bo : i mean its ok if that resolution is supported ! it could have been the issue if it was not ...
[09:31] <ompaul> miles_, on?
[09:31] <miles_> Errrrr okay
[09:31] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> still, theres gotta be a solution here. can't I create a new user and try to login from there? How do I do that?
[09:31] <The_Machine> hey guys, all of the "pop up" dialog boxes that normally prompt me for information are not appearing unless I click on the application itself.  Can someone tell me how to fix this?
[09:32] <miles_> Isn't there an easier method? <_<
[09:32] <y0hm> !grub | ti
[09:32] <ubotu> ti: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:32] <fliptop> miles_:  just put in the cd, search for all instances of Packages.gz, and you'll have your answer
[09:32] <fliptop> miles_:  you mean short of having someone else do it?
[09:32] <y0hm> ti : use the cd to go into rescue mode !
[09:32] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , you boot to single user mode (requires root password) and use the command  ->> adduser
[09:32] <HeXiLed> ok .. i nedd some tips on the kernel headers
[09:32] <y0hm> ti *ubuntu_cd
[09:33] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , but you have a problem - you need to add that user to the file /etc/sudoers while you are there
[09:33] <ti> y0hm: grub offers rescue mode option
[09:33] <morrolan> Anyone else using irssi here?
[09:34] <HeXiLed> what is the name of the kernel headers for 2.6 in ubuntu ?
[09:34] <miles_> fliptop: I mean, there must be some stats somewhere after all, which might alos contain other interesting stuff
[09:34] <LjL> ompaul: why not add it to the admin group instead...?
[09:34] <HeXiLed> morrolan  yes
[09:34] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> easy enough, I did it for the other user. but give me the exact command I need to run
[09:34] <morrolan> ti - That will not work!  Use the CD
[09:34] <LjL> !linux-headers | HeXiLed
[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-headers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:34] <LjL> eh?
[09:34] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> for adding the user that is.
[09:34] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , I did - adduser
[09:34] <ti> morralan ok
[09:34] <fliptop> miles_:  Packages.gz has all information about each program, including what it does, what dependencies it has, etc.
[09:34] <LjL> !linux-headers-generic | HeXiLed
[09:35] <ubotu> hexiled: linux-headers-generic: Generic Linux kernel headers. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.17.10 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[09:35] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> right, but I meant what commands, options, etc do I add to it? can you be a little more specific?
[09:35] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> I can read the manual but I don't want to risk doing it wrong
[09:35] <ompaul> CptAJ[vzla] , run it - it is straight forward
[09:35] <LjL> CptAJ[vzla] : just type adduser
[09:35] <steel_lady> juano_ I did it! I just need your help to do the link!
[09:35] <CptAJ[vzla] > <ompaul> alright, I'm on it
[09:36] <HeXiLed> thanks
[09:36] <HeXiLed> linux-kernel-headers <--
[09:36] <Phrozen_One> anyone here find a way to install package(s) across several ubuntu desktops at once?
[09:36] <y0hm> ti : u gonna have to do some reading on grub & grub reinstall.. , your problem has no short answer ..basically , you need to boot into rescue mode using the ubuntu cd ,and do a grub config or reinstall !
[09:36] <LjL> HeXiLed: that doesn't really exist on Edgy
[09:36] <HeXiLed> i just instaled
[09:37] <LjL> oh edgy?
[09:37] <LjL> n
[09:37] <LjL> !info linux-kernel-headers edgy
[09:37] <ubotu> Package linux-kernel-headers does not exist in edgy
[09:37] <fliptop> all:  i'm outta here, going to try installing fedora core 6 on this new laptop.  don't have too much fun, it's bad for the morale of your coworkers who hate their jobs!
[09:37] <blankfaze> question:  you only need GRUB if you are booting more than one OS right?
[09:37] <LjL> blankfaze: wrong
[09:38] <LjL> blankfaze: Linux needs a bootloader. it can't boot by itself from the BIOS
[09:38] <IdleOne> blankfaze: you need grub even if only running ubuntu. grub is ubuntu boot loader
[09:38] <blankfaze> oh
[09:38] <blankfaze> ok.
[09:38] <miles_> Found it. Thanks guys
[09:38] <MystaMax> juano__, any ideas?
[09:38] <quaal> ompaul, the rpm/sh files is all i have. someone said Runs fine in both Ubuntu and Debian for me, run the .rpm through "alien" if you want a .deb version.
[09:38] <steel_lady> juano_ are you with us?
[09:38] <shmax> where can i get vlc-0.8.6 for dapper?
[09:38] <blankfaze> is ubuntu supposed to boot with a bootscreen or progress bar or anything?
[09:38] <ompaul> quaal, what are you looking to run?
[09:39] <steel_lady> juano_ do you read?
[09:39] <quaal> ompaul, crossover office
[09:39] <IdleOne> blankfaze: yes there is a boot screen/progress bar
[09:39] <kizlum> LjL, A little BootLoader (only for Linux) , totally transparent exit, no? (sorry for my bad English!)
[09:39] <timewriter> anyone here knows some about osx86 ?
[09:39] <pintas> hello everyone
[09:39] <blankfaze> because right now GRUB does its thing, then i get a blinking cursor for 10-15 secs, then ubuntu logon
[09:39] <ompaul> quaal, I suggest you talk with the crossover office people for that, we don't support it here
[09:39] <quaal> heh
[09:39] <quaal> do they have a channel
[09:39] <kizlum> pintas, hello
[09:39] <IdleOne> blankfaze: well your getting the logon so thats good :)
[09:39] <LjL> kizlum: sorry, but i don't understand... GRUB can be almost completely transparent - if that it is what you mean
[09:40] <steel_lady> question: which linux spreadsheet application has the option to Save as...cvs coma deliminated file?
[09:40] <LjL> kizlum: when i boot, i do not see GRUB. i see it only if i press Esc
[09:40] <ompaul> quaal, we don't charge - but then they do - they have email afik
[09:40] <pintas> i'm trying to create a command line to open the terminal (xterm) in a specific place or to open a specific command as root. I've tried gksudo xterm <command> but the terminal window always closes. is there a way to do this right?
[09:40] <Orbitize> Hi! I was hoping someone perhaps could help me a little with my new ubuntu install. I am a very new to ubuntu. I am having trouble getting my wireless connection to work. Any tips?
[09:40] <kingace> hello
[09:40] <LjL> steel_lady: all of them, i would hope :-P i'll check kspread
[09:40] <morrolan> steel_lady - OpenOffice.org
[09:40] <quaal> ompaul, yea, i remember they charge for their fullversion
[09:40] <quaal> thanks anyways
[09:41] <LjL> steel_lady: yes, kspread can do that.
[09:41] <quaal> just gotta find out if theres a way to do rpm's within ubuntu
[09:41] <kingace> i'm getting this error: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4-1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4 is to be installed Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) but 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, but when I try to upgrade those two, it says that they're the newest version
[09:41] <ompaul> !alien | quaal
[09:41] <kizlum> LjL, how do you do? That interest me! (again sorry for my bad English ^^)
[09:41] <ubotu> quaal: 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)
[09:41] <morrolan> Orbitize - what wireless card do you have?
[09:41] <Orbitize> Gigabyte 11g. And the funny thing is that it works when I run liveCD!
[09:41] <mysta> steel_lady: open office has it. Just verified...
[09:41] <LjL> kizlum: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and set  timeout 0  and  hiddenmenu 
[09:42] <quaal> ompaul, hmm.. dangerous
[09:42] <kizlum> LjL, OK thanks!
[09:42] <Orbitize> and its a PCI card, sorry morrolan
[09:42] <LjL> kingace: while trying to install what?
[09:42] <ompaul> quaal, now you know why I did not post it first time around, now please the item is closed
[09:42] <morrolan> Orbitize - what make, model number etc?  Chipset if you know it even
[09:42] <steel_lady> ok, thanxmysta and Ljl
[09:42] <pbureau> Orbitize, if you type in a terminal window  lspci can you copy paste that card info here (only the card details not everything)
[09:42] <mysta> I'm having issues getting my Dell laptop to work on a docking station. I tried to add the resolution of the external monitror, but that didn't work. heres my xorg.conf, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4329/
[09:42] <steel_lady> juano, do you read?
[09:42] <kingace> LjL: beryl-settings-bindings
[09:43] <morrolan> !wifi | Orbitize
[09:43] <ubotu> Orbitize: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:43] <blankfaze> Idle: any reason i wouldn't get that bootscreen?  video drivers/res maybe?
[09:43] <blankfaze> i guess i don't really care j/w
[09:43] <tzbishop> How much space (MB) does Ubuntu Server takes on HD?
[09:43] <mysta> tzbishop: if i remember, less than 2 gigs
[09:43] <Orbitize> thanks ubotu
[09:43] <tzbishop> mysta, only SERVER?
[09:44] <Ruidoso_Silencio> can someone recommend me a good subtitle editor???
[09:44] <mysta> tzbishop: yep
[09:44] <IdleOne> blankfaze: like LjL said grub canbe completly transparent meaning that you dont see it at all. probably some setting that would need to be changed but I have no idea how or where perhaps LjL knows more
[09:44] <morrolan> Orbitize - ubotu is a bot, invoked with !query
[09:44] <tzbishop> mysta, Ubuntu desktop consumes 2gigas
[09:44] <morrolan> Orbitize - so if you wanted to know about bluetooth, you would type:  !bluetooth
[09:44] <LjL> IdleOne, blankfaze: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and set  timeout 0  and  hiddenmenu 
[09:44] <Orbitize> oh sorry
[09:44] <IdleOne> LjL: ty
[09:44] <morrolan> Orbitize - it's OK, I did the same at first!
[09:44] <Orbitize> hehe
[09:44] <mysta> tzbishop: thats why i said less than 2
[09:45] <morrolan> :)
[09:45] <Orbitize> do you know why it would not show any networks in the list?
[09:45] <Orbitize> seemed almost like the card was turned off or something like that
[09:45] <quaal> ompaul, ah i found that the sh file works fine, with wine apparently just 'sh filename.sh'
[09:45] <morrolan> Orbitize - it depends on whether or not it has the correct driver for your card.  As I said, I'd need to know the make and model number of your wifi card to make a guess really.
[09:46] <kingace> does anyone else have dependency problems upgrading beryl-settings-bindings
[09:46] <pintas> can anyone help me please? :(
[09:46] <Ruidoso_Silencio> can someone recommend me a good subtitle editor???
[09:46] <HeXiLed> tuga ...
[09:46] <blankfaze> LjL: oh i'm not concerned with the grub being there, but after grub i just get a blinking cursor for 10-15 secs until logon screen
[09:46] <quemeraisc> Orbitize I had similar problem. Do you have linux-wlan-ng installed (dpkg -l|grep -i linux-wlan-ng) ?
[09:46] <morrolan> pintas - have you asked your question?  It's easier to just ask it...
[09:46] <HeXiLed> what do you want pintas ?
[09:46] <juano> steel_lady, im sorry
[09:47] <juano> steel_lady, let me check

[09:47] <steel_lady> juano, first to tell you what did I do and then I need just one little thing
[09:48] <juano> steel_lady, ok one sec
[09:48] <steel_lady> juano, I went to konquerer and put my machine as the server in ssh option of remote mounting
[09:48] <cptaj[vzla] > <ompaul> still nothing man. The new user had the same problem. I'm writing from a terminal IRC client thingie here... Any new ideas? I really need to fix this

[09:54] <pbureau> Gl3nn, cometo #helpya
[09:54] <quemeraisc> Chilliwack, if you're using gnome, that's in System-> Preferences -> Sessions !
[09:54] <pintas> -HeXiLed- Nop! Volta a fechar
[09:54] <pintas> a janela n se mantm aberta
[09:54] <LjL> agliv5: sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4, and then add a  CC=gcc-3.4  just before the ./configure and make commands (on the same lines as them)
[09:55] <juano__> steel_lady,
[09:55] <LjL> agliv5: btw, you know that qemu is packaged in binary form in ubuntu, right?
[09:55] <Chilliwack> quemeraisc: i am using gnome, so do i hit "add new session", and then just type in "pon dsl-provider" for what it pops up with?
[09:55] <ompaul> cptaj[vzla] , no, as I said eariler, by installing root all bets are off, you never know what settings you break with that thing enabled
[09:55] <steel_lady> juano__ no me lees en privado?

[09:58] <inimesekene> Hello, is CNR going to be be in feisty fawn?
[09:58] <wietze> hiho; I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge about this amd64_agp module that makes use of agpgart
[09:58] <Bsims> LjL: Heh I know its alpha I was asking how stable it was ATM...
[09:58] <deafboy> god i hope CNR doesn't go in fiesty
[09:58] <LjL> Bsims: #ubuntu+1 is the channel you want
[09:59] <wietze> the system it is currently installed on, runs from a copies livecd onto hd, and its not a 64 bit system, so I was wondering why its not normally using the agpgart standalone
[09:59] <inimesekene> deafboy, why?
[09:59] <LjL> !offtopic
[09:59] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:59] <CientificoLoco> LjL, so what does it is?
[09:59] <deafboy> inimesekene: i just don't care for linspire/freespire
[09:59] <LjL> CientificoLoco: a rip off, as far as i know
[09:59] <Bsims> thanks... Had a disk crash and I am getting my head around the diffrences from Deb Sid... ubuntu seems far more polished
[09:59] <jt_a7x_3> Okay
[09:59] <inimesekene> deafboy, but they say it's easy to use, and that's good, is it not?
[09:59] <jt_a7x_3> I'm having some trouble

[10:01] <jt_a7x_3> I have a, Mobile Intel Celeron(R) 2400MHz, 191mb memory HP laptop, can this run ubuntu 6.06
[10:01] <alex__> LjL: universe only, and I guess I need multiverse ?

Also, when I set it under Settings -> Keyboard, it doesn't get applied. What could help? I also tried putting "setxkbmap ch" in my "startup programs" under my session but that also didn't help.

[10:04] <Bsims> is there a better way to build packages than checkinstall? I always used dh_make and dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[10:04] <jt_a7x_3> ndee: I've been told to use ALT cd, becuase live cd is a bit harsh on my laptop. Is this right
[10:04] <jt_a7x_3> In ALT cd, I boot it and then select Install in text mode?
[10:05] <LjL> agliv5: do a "make distclean" and reconfigure... before reconfiguring, type "export CC=gcc-3.4" and "export CXX=gcc-3.4"
[10:05] <jt_a7x_3> I have some trouble last time with it failing some steps.
[10:05] <ndee> hjmills, ok, so where could I put that command so that I have the correct keyboard layout?

[10:07] <Ramunas> olafski: my Amd 64 Duron 3200+ did that by default
[10:07] <quemeraisc> Zaggynl what laptop do you have? Have you tried out with a liveCD first ?

[10:08] <blankfaze> forgive my noob question ... but is there a way to reorder/edit the main menu panel in gnome, i.e. if i wanted to move "system" above "places", or something like that
[10:08] <olafski> Ramunas: you're right :) thanks
[10:08] <jt_a7x_3> ndee: okay.
[10:08] <At0mic_PC> What about a search feature in apt-get?
[10:08] <At0mic_PC> sudo apt-get search?
[10:08] <quemeraisc> Zaggynl, chances are it takes time then, you may just need more patience.
[10:08] <Ramunas> olafski: its called "cool and quiet" in bios in case you want to disable it ;)
[10:09] <At0mic_PC> A deb package I installed needs tcl
[10:09] <ndee> At0mic_PC, try sudo apt-cache search

[10:11] <jt_a7x_3> okay, I'm in live cd,
[10:11] <jt_a7x_3> it takes it forever to click the icon and then load the install option, can I just type a command in the terminal to run instal?

[10:20] <hjmills> mohooo, because X is configured to show those chars and the terminal isnt? or because the terminal font doesnt have those chars
[10:21] <mohooo> aterm
[10:21] <hjmills> mohooo, then its the second reason i gave i think
[10:21] <agliv5> LjL, ok, now it says "ERROR: "gcc" either does not exist or does not work"

[10:22] <hjmills> mohooo, change the font to the font you are using in the chat program?
[10:22] <CarlFK> Kajin: try wget http://yahoo.com
[10:22] <rly> karnnos
[10:22] <hjmills> Kajin, did you reboot after?
[10:22] <aalhamad> I get this talk everyday ... ubuntu is for beginner? y do they say this?
[10:22] <The_Machine> hey guys, all of the "pop up" dialog boxes that normally prompt me for information are not appearing unless I click on the application itself.  Can someone tell me how to fix this?
[10:22] <Kajin> hjmills: Multiple times.
[10:22] <heygabe> I recently changed to OpenDNS and it made mylife so helpful.
[10:22] <hjmills> Kajin, oh ok
[10:22] <hjmills> hmm
[10:22] <mohooo> hjmills: ill really like this :(
[10:23] <heygabe> I would recommend anyone who is having DNS trouble to change to OpenDNS.
[10:23] <MementoMori> none about the herd3 installation question? :(
[10:23] <hjmills> heygabe, i did as well but then i couldnt use im feeling lucky from firefox
[10:23] <At0mic_PC> I think Synaptic is doing it for me. hehe
[10:23] <quemeraisc> mohooo, the Gnome terminal does it fine for me with french characters (  ...).
[10:23] <Stormx2> heygabe: I just switched cause its faster
[10:23] <Kajin> CarlFK: wget yahoo.com just freezes at 'HTTP request sent, awaiting response...'
[10:23] <heygabe> hjmills: I don't know what that means. But I'm sorry.
[10:23] <At0mic_PC> aalhamad: ubuntu is the easiest install I've ever done for linux.
[10:23] <heygabe> :)
[10:24] <At0mic_PC> I'd say it was easier than windows.
[10:24] <peeks> hi, when im trying to install a package, im getting the following error "You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies:" . when running apt-get install -f, it tries to remove a package called (bma-wma) but i want to keep it, and fix the problem, .. how ?
[10:24] <Stormx2> The_Machine: You mean the gksudo dialogs?
[10:24] <agliv5> LjL, No alternatives for cc  <- that doesn't sound good...
[10:24] <CarlFK> Kajin: at least it isnt a FF problme...
[10:24] <Stormx2> peeks: made any repo changes?
[10:24] <hjmills> heygabe, in firefox if you enter an invalid address and it appears to be plaintext (not a url) firefox will search for google and show the first result but opendns stops that
[10:24] <aalhamad> At0mic_PC, does that make it for beginner... ?
[10:24] <mohooo> what mp3-player do you prefer? i dont like xmms.
[10:24] <Stormx2> peeks: Run a sudo apt-get update and try again
[10:24] <The_Machine> Stormx2:  any dialogue..
[10:25] <The_Machine> i'm actually using KDE though - not sure if that makes a difference
[10:25] <Stormx2> mohooo: Audacious. Its like XMMS but not stuck in the 80s
[10:25] <LjL> agliv5: are you sure you actually have the gcc3.4 package installed?
[10:25] <hjmills> aalhamad, ubuntu is for beginners. that doesnt stop it being for advanced users and experts too
[10:25] <LjL> agliv5: gcc-3.4 even
[10:25] <mohooo> Stormx2: thanks
[10:25] <At0mic_PC> aalhamad: No, it took me about 2 hours to get on the net with dial up then install irssi.
[10:25] <hjmills> agliv5, you will need to install gcc-3.4 seperatly to build-essential as its not the latest gcc
[10:25] <Stormx2> mohooo: audacious-media-player.org
[10:25] <At0mic_PC> :)
[10:26] <The_Machine> it just started happening.  not sure why..
[10:26] <mohooo> Stormx2: apt :)
[10:26] <CME> hello
[10:26] <aalhamad> hjmills, exactly.. but what is said that its not a linux standerd.. is that right?
[10:26] <Stormx2> mohooo: Yeah, but its not in any edgy repos
[10:26] <Byan> what is the command for wine?
[10:26] <Stormx2> mohooo: Its in the fiesty repos tho...
[10:26] <Stormx2> Byan: "wine"
[10:26] <heygabe> is there a bash command for putting the results of a command into a file?
[10:26] <agliv5> LjL, synaptic says I do and sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 worked...
[10:26] <Stormx2> heygabe: blaa > file.txt
[10:26] <Byan> Stormx2: =/ weird.. I don't have that..
[10:26] <Stormx2> heygabe: or to append, >>
[10:26] <peeks> Stormx2, it's stalling at 94% [Waiting for headers]  [Waiting for headers]   , with a download rate of 31B/sec
[10:26] <heygabe> THanks!
[10:27] <LjL> agliv5: if you type "gcc-3.4 --version", does that work? what about "gcc --version"?
[10:27] <agliv5> hjmills, how do you suggest I do that?
[10:27] <peeks> Stormx2, maybe if i change repos ?
[10:27] <CME> i have a problem with a HP p9000 (or something like this) notebook, when i try to start ubuntu, the boot screen has MUCH graphic errors and the system freeze while loading X, sabayon linux works fine, what can i do?
[10:27] <rly> anyone who may help me with sound definitions?
[10:27] <CME> ubuntu edgy eft
[10:27] <quemeraisc> Byan, wine 8-)
[10:27] <Stormx2> peeks: Go to that website. There is an ubuntu repo listed.
[10:27] <Stormx2> peeks: (under downloads)
[10:27] <CME> doesn't matter if 32bit or 64bit
[10:27] <crazy_penguin> Good night to all!
[10:27] <hjmills> aalhamad, well it is linux - all the versions have their own differences - installing programs on gentoo, ubuntu and fedora is completely different as they use different packaging systems but i find i can get around other distros using my ubuntu knowledge with little difficulty
[10:27] <ben_> hey say i download a file for wine and it has a virus
[10:27] <michael117> How can I remove the icons of mounted drives off the desktop?
[10:27] <eternaljoy> how can I get Openoffice to offer me suggestive word to replace a mispelled word?
[10:27] <ben_> will that virus at all be able to hurt my computer?
[10:28] <Kajin> Jowi: I just added my ISP's (4!) DNS servers, but still nothing.
[10:28] <Stormx2> peeks: Sounds like the repo is down
[10:28] <hjmills> agliv5, search for "gcc-3.4" in synaptic and install it or run "sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4" in the term
[10:28] <Stormx2> peeks: Try once more, then meh
[10:28] <agliv5> LjL,   gcc-3.4 --version works; gcc --version doesn't
[10:28] <CME> it has an AMD turion TL-52 and nvidia geforce 7600 256MB vram
[10:28] <peeks> ahh working ..
[10:28] <mohooo> how can i make all .mp3 files opens in audacious?
[10:28] <Stormx2> mohooo: How have you installed it? From the repos?
[10:29] <malveaux_> Salut
[10:29] <heygabe> eternaljoy: Do you mean like, by right clicking?
[10:29] <mohooo> apt
[10:29] <mohooo> Stormx2: really nice player
[10:29] <agliv5> hjmills,  done ;) now what?
[10:29] <xtknight> what's the package name for audacious?
[10:29] <kmu> I was running Skype and it had its status icon in the upper right panel. I accidentally clicked "Remove from panel". How do I get it back?
[10:29] <quaal> ha i called them suppository
[10:29] <quaal> really repository
[10:29] <Stormx2> mohooo: Yeah. Try doing "sudo apt-get build-dep bmpx"
[10:29] <Stormx2> mohooo: I usually compile audacious tho...
[10:29] <xtknight> looks just like xmms to be honest
[10:29] <AngryElf_> is there any way I can see a list of commands I've put into at?
[10:29] <LjL> agliv5: well, you're quite right actually, gcc 3.4 isn't offered as an alternative. if the "export" commands that i gave you don't work on a fresh extraction of the tarball (just delete the directory and extract it again), the the configure is very broken. you said it's qemu you're compiling?
[10:29] <Stormx2> xtknight: Its not in the default edgy repos
[10:29] <ben_> guyz
[10:30] <Stormx2> xtknight: Its an awful lot more up-to-date and usable
[10:30] <mohooo>  # apt-get build-dep bmpx
[10:30] <mohooo> Reading package lists... Done
[10:30] <mohooo> Building dependency tree
[10:30] <mohooo> Reading state information... Done
[10:30] <mohooo> E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[10:30] <ben_> can ubuntu get a virus?
[10:30] <mohooo> sorry for that...
[10:30] <Stormx2> yesz?
[10:30] <ben_> or a trojan?
[10:30] <ben_> ???
[10:30] <LjL> ben_: yes
[10:30] <hjmills> agliv5, let LjL carry on with his instructions - i was just pointing out that you needed to install gcc
[10:30] <mohooo> hmm, no sources....
[10:30] <LjL> likely? no
[10:30] <ben_> but isn't it hard?
[10:30] <ben_> for that to happen?
[10:30] <Stormx2> ben_: Techically yes, but its not something you really need to worry about
[10:30] <LjL> !virus > ben_    (ben_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:30] <xtknight> Stormx2: giving svn a shot..
[10:30] <emdub> So no PPC support around?
[10:30] <ben_> ???
[10:30] <mohooo> Stormx2: whats bmpx anyway?
[10:30] <Stormx2> ben_: Unless you're running a big server, or whatever
[10:31] <Stormx2> mohooo: Well. BMPx and Audacious are forks of BMP (beep-media-player)
[10:31] <agliv5> LjL, I never tried export... yes qemu
[10:31] <clearzen> hi, My dns servers are not resolving domain names. I can ping the dns servers but they are not working. Is there anything I can do on the server itself to correct this problem?
[10:31] <hjmills> is it possible to get a pc to boot differently if you turn it on in different ways? (i.e. the power button boots one os and wake on lan boots another?)
[10:31] <Stormx2> mohooo: BMPx is run by zealot morons, is barely stable, and has basically no support (even from the devs)
[10:31] <malveaux_> Gentlemen, I seem to have a little problem. My wireless assistance shows my driver active and hardware present; but my networking doesn't display my wireless adapter (I'm using ndiswrapper, on a broadcom based). It was working. And now it just says no such device. Any advise on where to start on this problem?
[10:31] <hjmills> clearzen, check out the opendns project
[10:31] <Exabyte> hello, this is my first time installing ubuntu and i'm having some trouble with partitioning my hard drive - i have 2x100gb hds in some RAID configuration which came with windows and I want to make another partition that has ubuntu on it, i sthat possible
[10:32] <mohooo> Stormx2: why shall i download it? :)
[10:32] <eternaljoy> heygabe: yes!  but when I right click, it shows no alternative words!  Any solutiuon?
[10:32] <Stormx2> hjmills: Probably not, but check the grub docs just incase
[10:32] <hjmills> clearzen, 208.67.219.67 thats the ip for opendns
[10:32] <Stormx2> mohooo: You're only getting its dependencies
[10:32] <Stormx2> mohooo: I suggest you just grab the latest stable and compile tho.
[10:33] <hjmills> Stormx2, ok - thanks
[10:33] <mohooo> hmm, it works fine anyway =)
[10:33] <Stormx2> mohooo: Oh, okay. I thought you didn't have mp3 support :P
[10:33] <mohooo> Stormx2: can't i just assosiate .mp3 with audacious in some way.
[10:33] <mohooo> Stormx2: yeah i do :P
[10:33] <clearzen>  hjmills: I am connected remotely. Is there anything I could do without disabling the interface?
[10:33] <ben_> does ubuntu have its own anti-virus program?
[10:33] <enry183> my stamp-key is "out of order"...i use xubuntu
[10:33] <LjL> agliv5: well but why do you need to compile qemu anyway? i see from that wiki that, even if you want to run kqemu, that's provided in the repos...
[10:33] <enry183> help please
[10:34] <darweth> Hey gang.  I am trying to compile the new Amarok 1.4.5 from source on Ubuntu 6.10 and get this message:

[10:34] <darweth> For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
[10:34] <Stormx2> mohooo: Ah I misunderstood. Right click an mp3 file, go to open with > audacious
[10:34] <Stormx2> mohooo: It'll select that automatically
[10:34] <LjL> !compile > darweth    (darweth, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:34] <ben_> guyz
[10:34] <LjL> !paste > darweth    (darweth, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:34] <hjmills> clearzen, erm - just edit /etc/resolv.conf i think
[10:34] <mohooo> Stormx2: yeah my automatic in the feature
[10:34] <ben_> does ubuntu have a antivirus?
[10:34] <heygabe> eternaljoy: No. I'm sure that other people can help you with that. But I suspect you've misplaced your dictionaries.
[10:34] <LjL> !clamav | ben_
[10:34] <ubotu> ben_: clamav: antivirus scanner for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.88.4-1ubuntu2.1 (edgy), package size 65 kB, installed size 208 kB
[10:34] <ben_> kk thanks....
[10:34] <hjmills> what is recovery mode (the option that grub gives you for each boot item)
[10:34] <LjL> ben_: not by default. and i guess most of us don't have one running.
[10:35] <hjmills> is it just single run level?
[10:35] <omgsunny> hello how can i get ubuntu box to print to a samba-shared printer on a windows box?
[10:35] <xtknight> LjL:  how do you get definitions for clamav?  (another way i presume?)  aren't universe/multiverse packages not updated for 6 months?
[10:35] <adop> is it possible to watch tv on a windows pc that doesn't have a tv card using an ubuntu pc on the same lan that has?

[10:35] <xtknight> i see
[10:36] <LjL> adop: yeah, you can use VLC or something for that
[10:36] <hjmills> adop, prob but the ubuntu pc would have to stream video constantly and you may be limited on the hcannels
[10:36] <hjmills> LjL, now thats a more sensible idea
[10:36] <xtknight> audacious actually is pretty cool.  i forgot how xmms had ugly motif open dialogs vs gtk ones
[10:36] <LjL> adop: is that digital TV?
[10:36] <Kajin> I love playing Phoenix Wright during installations.
[10:36] <eternaljoy> heygabe: your comments are useless
[10:36] <rly> anyone who may help me with sound definitions?
[10:36] <adop> LjL: no analog with wintv express
[10:37] <LjL> adop: analog, hmm. pity, there's a package expressly for that for digital. by the way, wintv? USB card? works in ubuntu? which model? i'm interested in that
[10:37] <xtknight> it would be so awesome to watch hdtv in ubuntu
[10:37] <peeks> Stormx2, now im getting this when i run apt-get install -f

[10:37] <peeks> E: Unable to correct dependencies
[10:37] <Exabyte> does anyone know if i can successfully partition 2x100gb hard drives with the RAID configuration that came with windows to install ubuntu on
[10:37] <xtknight> anyone got a card recommendation for that?
[10:38] <enry183> help with the stamp key!!!
[10:38] <Stormx2> peeks: You got any packages held?
[10:38] <peeks> Stormx2, what is a held package ?
[10:38] <omgsunny> how can i print a file from my ubuntu box to a samba shared printer on windows xp?
[10:38] <peeks> Stormx2, what i did was installing a .deb package with dpkg .. since that problem arised .. then when i tried to run apt-get install -f it tried to remove that package (that is working fine)
[10:39] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, what's the state of your 2 disc ? are they really using RAID ? are they already partitionned at all ?
[10:39] <Stormx2> I have no idea...
[10:39] <mohooo> what msn client shall i use, i really hate amsn
[10:39] <mohooo> gui that supports webcam

[10:40] <Exabyte> quemeraisc i believe they're RAID, I'm not sure what else they would be.. i've made a primary partition for the root installation and a logical swap partition
[10:40] <hjmills> does anybody here live in the Philippines?
[10:40] <LjL> adop: oh, PCI. today i was looking at some cheap USB cards with the WinTV label...
[10:40] <agliv5> LjL,  yes I want to run kqemu... I installed qemu from the repository and kqemu... they both run seperately, but qemu without accelleration and kqemu says it only works with qemu >=0.8.0.  When I pressed the button to start qemu nothing happened and I assumed it was because that the repository version was too old...
[10:41] <emdub> If anyone can provide PPC support, /msg me plz.
[10:41] <xtknight> how do i use apt-file?  i always apt-file search for stuff but nothing comes
[10:41] <wietze> where would I find the inittab on an ubuntu system, I cant seem to find it in /etc/
[10:41] <tuskernini> Question.. one of my USB slots has power, the mouse light goes on... but does not recognise the mouse... what might be wrong? IBM t40
[10:41] <LjL> agliv5, i don't believe so, since there is a specific howto about installing kqemu and qemu on the wiki...
[10:41] <LjL> !kqemu > agliv5    (agliv5, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:41] <xtknight> tag_c.h for example.  "apt-file search tag_c.h", does that work for anybody?  doesn't work here
[10:41] <Exabyte> quemeraisc When the partition program on ubuntu load it shows a /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, but says they're both unallocated which isn't true, if i select to manually pick the partitions then it recognizes the primary partition for the root folder, but only sees the swap partition as a primary 1kb, when it's really a logical with 2gigs
[10:42] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, you've actually activated those partition, or just "prepared" ?
[10:42] <adop> LjL: vlc does what i want, thatks :)
[10:42] <LjL> adop: VLC is the swiss army knife of video... :)
[10:42] <eternaljoy> how can I get Openoffice to offer me suggestive word to replace a mispelled word?  When I right click on a word, no suggestive words are shown. Anyone know why not?
[10:43] <Exabyte> quemeraisc just prepared it, i have my windows partition activated
[10:43] <xtknight> eternaljoy: i dont know...do you have aspell and an associated dictionary installed?
[10:43] <agliv5> LjL, I just noticed that kqemu says my qemu version is 0.8.2... so why won't it start?
[10:43] <xtknight> eternaljoy: does it even detect a misspelling?
[10:43] <ootm> can someone suggest something similar to X1 desktop search that I can use with ubuntu?
[10:43] <yellow> LjL, and mplayer is the ka-bar
[10:43] <yellow> =))
[10:43] <eternaljoy> xtknight: how can I know if aspell and an associated dictionary is installed?
[10:43] <cafuego_> ootm: beagle?
[10:43] <atomicfrog2003> I'm having trouble with my new KVM switch under ubuntu.
[10:44] <eternaljoy> xtknight: yes, it shows a red line under the mispelled words
[10:44] <LjL> agliv5, i don't really know. have you done  sudo modprobe kqemu ; sudo mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0  ;  sudo chmod 666 /dev/kqemu    as the howto advices?
[10:44] <GionnyBoss> how can I install XGL on Ubuntu Edgy to have a 3D desktop with nice window effects?
[10:44] <eternaljoy> xtknight: but when i right click, it shows nothing to change it to
[10:44] <xtknight> eternaljoy: search synaptic for 'aspell' and see which packages you have installed and report back
[10:44] <eternaljoy> xtknight: ok brb
[10:44] <xtknight> eternaljoy: do you know if openoffice is supposed to have that faeture?
[10:44] <heygabe> xtknight: Yeah. it does.
[10:44] <eternaljoy> xtknight: yes it is
[10:44] <xtknight> eternaljoy: i know even firefox has it

[10:45] <agliv5> LjL modprobe says qemu not found :(
[10:45] <xtknight> blankfaze: in my opinion, yes.

[10:48] <blankfaze> i've got compiz installed and even it is kind-of buggy
[10:48] <mohooo> hmm
[10:48] <mohooo> xtknight: alot of packages i guess
[10:48] <xtknight> yeah

[10:48] <mohooo> hmm, what do you think of the client?
[10:48] <mohooo> its better than amsn?

[10:48] <ubotu> cikas: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:49] <mohooo> xtknight: does it support webcam?
[10:49] <xtknight> mohooo: gaim?  i'm not sure.

[10:49] <cikas> ok
[10:49] <mhika> Hi. I have an old ext3 unix disk which I have forgotten root password. I took the disk out of the old machine, and mounted it now into another unix machine. But still I dont get permissions to directories which is locked to users.
[10:49] <mhika> Ideas to what I can do? :)
[10:49] <serpentus> hi... can someone please help..I need to convert an iso image to bin...how can I do it??? thanks
[10:49] <P4tricK> .
[10:50] <atomicfrog2003> I'm having trouble with a Port Authority2 KVM switch with Ubuntu.
[10:50] <xtknight> serpentus: well 'bchunk' is a program that goes the other way if you need to do that
[10:50] <ploom> mhika,  you need to access the files by same UID's (or users)
[10:50] <xtknight> serpentus: it might go the other, other way too.  that is, iso->bin.
[10:50] <mhika> UID's?
[10:50] <heygabe> It's time for me to split. Thanks for your help everybody.
[10:50] <Gigs> My spell check isn't working in xchat.  It is enabled in preferences but I don't get any red underlines.  It works in gaim though.
[10:50] <ploom> mhika,  look at the etc/passwd on that ext3
[10:50] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, ok do you know how much space you're actually using for windows right now ? Meaning how much left for Ubuntu ?
[10:51] <Exabyte> quemeraisc there's 18GB for ubuntu, the rest goes to windows
[10:51] <serpentus> thankyou, i'll try that
[10:51] <hjmills> Gigs, maybe your spelling is perfect!
[10:51] <fredl> hey guys, when I put "request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, host-name;" in my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, how can it be that for one (external) interface I do get 'routers' but for the other external interface I don't get the 'routers'
[10:52] <Gigs> I donbt'e thing so
[10:52] <fredl> shouldn't that 'request' line specify the only things that I want to get from the DHCP server?
[10:52] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, with 2*100Gb you're only leaving 18Gb for ubuntu ?
[10:53] <mhika> ploom: Cant open that file
[10:53] <Exabyte> quemeraisc yeah, well i want to get an external hard drive to put it on, but just for now i want to get used to it
[10:53] <emdub> If anyone can provide PPC support, please /msg me
[10:53] <fredl> hmm, nobody familiar with the dhclient?
[10:53] <Chuck__> Can someone tell me if you have the same MAC address on your Kubuntu as Windows if you use the same PC
[10:53] <nexousNET> Hi, Where can I find more information on setting up my Linux Wireless Card "WPC54G"?
[10:53] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, ok, so from there you'll need some swap, that should be around twice your RAM ...
[10:54] <cafuego_> nexousNET: Does 'lspci' mention broadcom 4306 at all?
[10:54] <mohooo> What do you guys suggest that i should run to run windows applications? Wine?
[10:54] <nexousNET> cafuego_: lspci?
[10:54] <Exabyte> quemeraisc ok, i've made a 16gb primary ext3 and a 2gb logical swap
[10:54] <cafuego_> nexousNET: lspci. run it in a terminal.
[10:54] <vik> My IP is banned from ubuntuforums.org (no idea why; am using school network where no-one else knows squat about linux), and the 'contact the admin' page requires me to login which I can't as my IP is banned. :(
[10:54] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, I normally put minimum 2Gb
[10:54] <fredl> nexousNET, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5645.html
[10:55] <wilem> Can I just copy my WoW program directory from my Windows install to run it on linux or do I have to use the cds?
[10:55] <cafuego_> quemeraisc: There is no need for it to be twice the size of ram.
[10:55] <vik> cafuego_: you wrote the wiki page on connecting to edupass?
[10:55] <Agrajag> wilem: just copy it
[10:55] <cafuego_> vik: Yes
[10:55] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, that's fair. I tend to separate the /home .
[10:55] <nexousNET> cafuego_: no
[10:55] <wilem> sweet, thanks
[10:55] <nexousNET> fredl: I will check that out, thanks.
[10:55] <fredl> nexousNET, n/p :)
[10:55] <cafuego_> nexousNET: Does it say anything at all about wireless?
[10:55] <Agrajag> wilem: at least that worked as of a few weeks ago, I haven't tried it in WINe since BC came out
[10:55] <fredl> nexousNET, google is your friend :)
[10:56] <cafuego_> vik: Note, I just wrote the wiki page based on a howto I got from someone, I've never used edupass myself.
[10:56] <nexousNET> cafuego_: no
[10:56] <yommb> wow , metisse is quite nice actually :) anyone tried it yet ?
[10:56] <quemeraisc> cafuego_ "need" is not the word, that's just recommendation ... from me ... for whatever that's worth !;)
[10:56] <nexousNET> be back in a few, gotta go Wired :D
[10:56] <Exabyte> quemeraisc ok, so how do i get ubuntu to recognize these partitions - they're SATA drives but it shows them with a weird device path.. something lie USB/dev/SATA 1
[10:56] <vik> cafuego_: ah ha - do you still have the details of this person?
[10:57] <cafuego_> quemeraisc: Well, back before 2.4.8 "need" was the word, as swap performance sucked otherwise. Not so these days.
[10:57] <fredl> hey guys, when I put "request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, host-name;" in my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, how can it be that for one (external) interface I do get 'routers' but for the other external interface I don't get the 'routers'
[10:57] <yommb> !metisse
[10:57] <ubotu> Metisse is Mandriva's composite window manager. For more information, see http://www.mandriva.com/projects/metisse
[10:57] <ploom> mhika,  which does it say - permission denied or file not found?
[10:57] <quemeraisc> cafuego_, ok, still living in the old days then.
[10:57] <yommb> metisse works on all distros ...
[10:58] <cafuego_> vik: I cna probably find them, but they use suse, not Ubuntu. Mind you, based on thsoe details I'd expect it to be fairly easy to use networkmanager to handle the certificate etc.
[10:58] <golin> irc://sterling.freenode.net/bos
[10:58] <golin> sry wrong.. :p
[10:59] <cafuego_> quemeraisc: Well, a fairly large swap is handy for hibernating anyway ;-)
[10:59] <vik> cafuego_: I couldn't work out whether to use network-manager or edit wpa_supplicant.conf or both
[10:59] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, hmm, I'm not using sata drive, but I'd have expected /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (as for anything serial ...).
[11:00] <mohooo> what is the parameter for aterm to hide all borders?
[11:00] <jonah1980> hi guys i've forgotten the command to reset and refind soundcard? does anyone know it? thanks
[11:00] <mohooo> i mean, no "minimize" shit and such
[11:00] <cafuego_> vik: One or the other. If you can use network manager, just do that. I use it with a WPA2 certificate based setup at home, and it works fine.
[11:01] <ompaul> mohooo, do you want to leave the channel?
[11:01] <Exabyte> quemeraisc yeah, that's what it says when it asks if i want to partition it - there's /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and it shows them both completely unallocated, then when i choosed to select partitions already made then it displays their paths as USB/...
[11:01] <quemeraisc> cafuego_, yeah, I'm living on low memory here so ... what were we talking about anyway? :) I swapped ...
[11:01] <fredl> cafuego_, you happen to know if it's possible to set the phase2 auth method in NetworkManager?
[11:01] <cikas> help me!!!crc error;kernel panic - not syncing:vfs;unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)--6.10 doesnt boot
[11:01] <brann> hello. I've not been able to mount my ntfs partition in read only mode. In fact, mount did succeed, but i cannot access it (permission denied) and chmod 777 /mnt/windows fails because "filesystem is read only". I've been googling a little bit, but every howto i found is about read/write mode with ntfs-3g while i only want the read only access...
[11:01] <mohooo> ompaul: sorry
[11:02] <cafuego_> fredl: Dunno, just user/pass here (through radius)
[11:02] <mohooo> ompaul: do you have any idea? :)
[11:02] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, unallocated, and still nothing when you select them ?
[11:02] <vik> cafuego_: thanks; will give it a try. Gotta go and teach :)
[11:02] <cafuego_> vik: good luck ;-)
[11:03] <Exabyte> quemeraisc it shows the 16gb for the primary ext3 but then it says there's only 1kb in the partition that i made for the swap
[11:04] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, you mean you did you're partitioning (swap) before starting installation ?
[11:05] <Exabyte> quemeraisc yeah, cause when i try to make partitions in the installation, the only option it gives me is fully erasing a whole 100gb hard drive and usin that space
[11:05] <Exabyte> quemeraisc it doesn't see the windows partitions or anything
[11:06] <nexousNET> How can i install ndiswrapper from terminal?
[11:06] <cbx33> sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[11:06] <nexousNET> cbx33: thanks
[11:06] <ootm> brann: can you access it when you're root?
[11:07] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, I'm running gparted right now trying to see your problem ...
[11:07] <rEvolution27> hey guys, I installed nvidia-glx-legacy and when I try to run nvidia-glx-config enable I get Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[11:07] <rEvolution27> the nvidia driver for your running kernel. I have the x86 kernel and x86 driver..
[11:07] <dark> Ciao a tutti
[11:08] <Exabyte> quemeraisc unfortunately i have to leave in like a minute.. will you be on later
[11:08] <brann> ootm: yes, sudo ls /mnt/windows works fine
[11:09] <MiKi> did you check your xorg.conf file?
[11:09] <meda> r
[11:09] <ootm> brann: I had to edit my fstab so it was me that owned the filesystem. I looked in /etc/passwd for my uid ( it was 1000 - the first user usually is ) then i added this to my fstab     /dev/sdg1 /media/seagate ntfs-3g rw,user,umask=007,owner=1000,group=1000
[11:09] <rEvolution27> what should I change in xorg.conf?
[11:09] <dark> problems because of xserver?
[11:09] <ootm> brann: where /dev/sdg1 is the device and /media/seagate is my mount point
[11:10] <dark> xorg.conf??
[11:10] <MiKi> let me see
[11:10] <brann> ootm, oh i see . thank you !
[11:10] <jd_> hi
[11:10] <MiKi> change nv to nvidia

[11:10] <Exabyte> quemeraisc alright well thanks a lot for the help if you aren't around later

[11:11] <ootm> brann: gn. and you're welcome
[11:11] <TheManiacKY> rrr TRY THAT again. Anyone know a command I can use to undelete a folder in ubuntu?
[11:11] <GreySim> Hello, I'm trying to work with a USB HDD from the Ubuntu Desktop CD, and it doesn't seem to be working, and 'tail /var/log/messages' gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4342/ Anyone got any idea what to do to make it work?
[11:11] <MiKi> i am almost sure your driver is "nv"
[11:11] <xtknight> jd_: sudo asoundconf set-default-card
[11:11] <jd_> let's try that :)
[11:12] <quemeraisc> Exabyte, what CD are you using (version? live?) ?
[11:12] <xtknight> jd_: you need to specify which card you want default though.  `asoundconf list` will show you a list
[11:12] <SzArAk> GreySim:  "not ready after error recovery", are you sure it is ok?
[11:12] <jd_> Traceback (most recent call last):
[11:12] <jd_>   File "/usr/bin/asoundconf", line 445, in <module>
[11:12] <jd_>     exit_code(set_default_card(sys.argv[2] ))
[11:12] <jd_> IndexError: list index out of range
[11:12] <SzArAk> GreySim: i mean is it working correctly
[11:12] <GreySim> Whether quemeraisc meant me or not, it's probably also helpful for me to say 6.10 Live.
[11:12] <jd_> asoundconf went away :)
[11:12] <GreySim> SzArAk: It was at home last night, yes.
[11:13] <xtknight> jd_: well there's this also "asoundconf reset-default-card"   i guess reset was what he was talking abou
[11:13] <jd_> ok
[11:13] <quemeraisc> GreySim, nope I was talking to Exabyte ... sorry.
[11:13] <GreySim> SzArAk: This is a different computer, and running from the CD as opposed to my proper installation at home.
[11:13] <jd_> reading the man thing...
[11:13] <jshriver> GreySim: try modrpobe usbcore
[11:13] <jshriver> "modprobe usbcore" w/o quotes
[11:14] <TheManiacKY> HELP. What command can I use to undelete a file?
[11:14] <drx> how do I configure a single drive to dual boot Linux & Windows?
[11:14] <nexousNET> I'm having a bit of trouble installing ndiswrapper
[11:14] <xtknight> TheManiacKY: you can try the 'recover' or 'e2undel' programs
[11:14] <xtknight> drx: you partition it
[11:14] <jshriver> drx: setup 3 partitions.. first for windows, second for linux swap, 3rd linux partition... install boot loader to mbr
[11:14] <xtknight> drx: jshriver's description exactly ^
[11:15] <Superjew9020> every time i try to install edgy i get through the setup but at 28% of the install it freezes
[11:15] <xtknight> drx: install windows first if you want it to be easy
[11:15] <nexousNET> I enter "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper" and it outputs, "E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper"
[11:15] <GreySim> jshriver: Nope. Same thing in messages.
[11:15] <Superjew9020> anybody have any ideas wats wrong
[11:15] <Superjew9020> ?
[11:15] <quemeraisc> nexousNET, you're missing the repository for it ...
[11:15] <xtknight> nexousNET: it's a kernel module i think.  sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[11:16] <GreySim> Superjew9020: Sounds like a faulty CD. Have you run the CD test from the main boot menu?
[11:16] <xtknight> oook never mind
[11:16] <jshriver> GreySim: can you test the USB Hd on another machine to make sure it's not toast?
[11:16] <Superjew9020> no
[11:16] <nexousNET> quemeraisc, in synaptics, i enabled...
[11:16] <Superjew9020>  i guess i should have
[11:16] <drx> i know, but how do I configure the parititions (ideally, I'd like 1GB boot ext3, 17GB swap, 41GB ext3, and 52GB NTFS in an extended partition, but this isn't happening)
[11:16] <xtknight> linux-image is coming up when i'm searching for 'ndiswrapper' for some reason
[11:16] <xtknight> nexousNET: try the ndiswrapper-common package?
[11:16] <jshriver> drx: easiest way is with qtparted
[11:16] <GreySim> jshriver: Yeah, it'll take a few minutes, but I'll try that. Maybe the trip from home to work somehow fried it... :(
[11:16] <nexousNET> Community and non-free componets in repositories
[11:16] <ZoemDoef> has anyone here used GFS on ubuntu?
[11:16] <jshriver> or use fdisk
[11:16] <Music_Shuffle> How do I change the way a disk is mounted?
[11:17] <GreySim> Music_Shuffle: What are you trying to change about it?
[11:17] <xtknight> drx: install windows first.  specify a partition size of 52GB.  then install linux and you can partition the rest within the ubuntu partitioner
[11:17] <Music_Shuffle> GreySim, its always mounted as read-only, I want it as read/write.
[11:17] <linux_kid> I have just reinstalled xubuntu on an old pc of mine.  It wont let me access the "Login  Window" options from the Applications->Settings menu.  Is there another way to set up XDMCP?
[11:17] <drx> I mean, what type of partition can I use?  Windows doesn't seem to let me install it only in an extended partition.
[11:17] <GreySim> Music_Shuffle: Ah, I don't know how to do that, but someone else hopefully does.
[11:17] <Music_Shuffle> Hopefully ^_^
[11:18] <jshriver> GreySim: have you used the USBHD on this machine before? is it a laptop by chance? making a guess but it could be that it's not getting enough power from the USB bus and crapping out. Just a possibility..
[11:18] <jd_> ok, asoundconf was fixed for feisty https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/asoundconf-gtk/+bug/79264
[11:18] <linux_kid> Music_Shuffle: whats the FS on the disc?
[11:18] <nexousNET> I search Synaptic package manager for ndiswrapper, and no results.
[11:18] <jd_> thank you xtknight
[11:18] <jshriver> nexousNET: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[11:18] <jumbers> Ok, I have a Gmail account that I access via Thunderbird and lately I'm getting a TON of spam from a single domain. What is the best method to use to block that domain's spam?

[11:18] <jshriver> hrm weird
[11:18] <nexousNET> jshriver: do i need to connect to internet for update?
[11:19] <Music_Shuffle> linux_kid, like...FAT?
[11:19] <linux_kid> Music_shuffle: ya
[11:19] <jshriver> nexousNET: if you're not running from Cd..
[11:19] <GreySim> Works just fine on the Windows box next to me.
[11:19] <jshriver> nexousNET: try this "apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8"
[11:19] <ZoemDoef> has anyone here used GFS on ubuntu? some help please?
[11:19] <Music_Shuffle> linux_kid, FAT is the answer then :P
[11:19] <jshriver> GreySim: hrm weird problem..
[11:19] <jshriver> ZoemDoef: I have, but it's weird...
[11:20] <linux_kid> Music_Shuffle: Did you mount it read only when you installed ubuntu
[11:20] <nexousNET> jshriver: couldnt find package...
[11:20] <GreySim> jshriver: It's got a FAT partition and a swap partition, and the FAT partition comes up just fine under Windows.
[11:20] <xixor> anyone here have experience setting up a dual display system?  I've got it working, but the problem is the second monitor is always at 640x480, even though I have the Modes set to "1280x1024" "1024x768" for both screen sections in the xorg.conf file
[11:20] <nexousNET> brb
[11:20] <ZoemDoef> jshriver: why?
[11:20] <jshriver> nexousNET: it might not be in your repository... make sure you add multiverse or  universe and do an update/upgrasde
[11:20] <linux_kid> Music_Shuffle: cause FAT partitions sould work 100% on ubuntu/linux (unlike NTFS)
[11:20] <jshriver> well I'm off time bbl
[11:21] <ZoemDoef> jshriver: could you find any documents relating to setup and configure under ubuntu?
[11:21] <nexousNET> jshriver: real quick.
[11:21] <Music_Shuffle> linux_kid, indeed, but its always mounted as read-only, maybe because its a removable disk?
[11:21] <nexousNET> jshriver: Do i only add universe and multiverse to Binary one? or source
[11:21] <linux_kid> Music-Shuffle, this is a HDD, not a flash drive, right?
[11:22] <hjmills> what is the blackbox config tool?
[11:22] <Music_Shuffle> linux_kid, iPod Nano, so...flash from a technical pov.
[11:22] <linux_kid> Music-Shuffle, dapper or edgy
[11:22] <Music_Shuffle> edgy
[11:22] <linux_kid> Music-Shuffle: is probebly got some apple crap on it blocking linux boxes from writing on it
[11:23] <blankfaze> it's way too difficult to manage screen resolution in linux
[11:23] <sharperguy> once i install timidity, what programs can i use to play midi files?

[11:30] <ben_> just for extra security,.....
[11:30] <javb> people.. something about ndiswrapper.. i have my bcm4311 working.. but like in 3 minutes it stops working.. someone know about this?
[11:30] <pbureau> if your talking about Aegis, simple type in a terminal window sudo Aegis
[11:30] <ben_> i download alot of stuff
[11:30] <javb> i have googled a lot...
[11:30] <Dame> ben_, trust me u dont need it. Just find a good firewall and u need nothing more
[11:30] <drx> how do you set the mountpoint in gparted?
[11:30] <TheManiacKY> Help. Without rebooting. I need to be able to make a clone of a Ubuntu machine and save it to a external share. Should I just be able to TAR / and all the subdirectories to get a complete backup of the system? I'll need to restore the tar file later to another drive to get it back up in working order.
[11:30] <ben_> dude
[11:30] <vox754> javb: get to #ndiswrapper
[11:30] <ben_> i need it
[11:30] <ben_> trust me
[11:31] <javb> vox754, ok i will. Sorry, came here because i`m using Edgy
[11:31] <FunnyMan3595> I've got a problem with a kernel panic on startup after resizing (smaller) the root partition (ext3).  The resizer failed once, but ext2fsck fixed it (data seems intact, but I don't have a hash to check it).  After a second attempt, resizer reported failure again, but appears to have completed successfully.
[11:31] <ben_> so
[11:31] <ben_> how do i run this
[11:31] <VanessaE> easiest fix for something like that is to boot with a livecd, mount the 'bad' partition, chroot to it, and re-install the kernel image
[11:32] <coreire> i'm trying to run a driver installer. "sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run". But am getting error "can't open ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run". As far as i can remember i used to have to set some attribute to open these?
[11:32] <Dame> ben_, ok, its probably a bug, It doens show. But u can run it by: Alt+F2 and type: "aegis-virus-scanner" without the quotes
[11:32] <FunnyMan3595> VanessaE: How do I do that last step?
[11:32] <Dame> ben_, and better u trust me, u dont need it
[11:32] <VanessaE> funnyman: depends on which bootloader you use - grub or Lilo?
[11:32] <Fra> ciao
[11:32] <Fra> a tutti
[11:32] <FunnyMan3595> VanessaE: grub

[11:33] <ZoemDoef> GFS anyone?
[11:34] <VanessaE> ok, apt-get install --reinstall {name of package}  should be enough for the last step then
[11:34] <Music_Shuffle> linux_kid1, its k, I force-mounted it. ^_^

[11:34] <ben_> anyway
[11:34] <ben_> what about that firewall?

[11:35] <GreySim> ben_: Look for Firestarter, I believe it's called.
[11:35] <Fra> help i speek italian
[11:35] <Music_Shuffle> !firewall | ben_
[11:35] <ubotu> ben_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[11:36] <VanessaE> you should be able to match the name you see in menu.lst with one of the packages listed in adept.
[11:36] <Superjew9020> ist there a way to installl edgy directly from a harddrive?
[11:36] <VanessaE> close adept and re-install that package using apt-get.

[11:38] <Kajin> Gah, this problem has bothered me all day. I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu Edgy, had some problems with my internet connection, so I set my DNS servers to both my router and the servers supplied by my ISP, I turned of IPv6 and I still can't browse to Yahoo's website (by URL or IP), even though I can ping both Yahoo.com and 66.94.234.13 (Yahoo's IP). As opposed to Yahoo, I can still access Google's site trough both the URL and the IP. Pinging work
[11:38] <LjL> linux_kid1: because those translators cannot make up intelligible translations of even simple things - figure technical things. figure things that, if understood wrongly, may induce somebody to do something bad on their system. no, no, not a good idea
[11:38] <Music_Shuffle> haha
[11:38] <ben_> can sumone give me the link for gaurddog or firestarter
[11:38] <ben_> ?

[11:40] <bcampbe81> only othertime ive doen was full automated install

[11:48] <pppoe_dude> Sicdrummer16, also read link
[11:48] <vox754> Sicdrummer16: you are root in the live CD but still have to type "sudo"
[11:49] <Sicdrummer16> So sudo -s? would that be right?
[11:49] <LiENUS> stevenb486,  correct
[11:49] <LiENUS> ntfs does however
[11:49] <jojoman02> Sicdrummer16: yeah
[11:49] <Sicdrummer16> Alright, thanks
[11:49] <erUSUL> LiENUS: yes there is nm in 6.10
[11:49] <jojoman02> Sicdrummer16: that will make you stay as sudo (root)
[11:49] <jrib> TheManiacKY: I'd be interested to learn how to do it though.  Let me know if you figure it out.  After I return from buying a battery to stop this infernal noise from the smoke alarm, I think I'll expermient with this, so don't close that program :)

[11:54] <Falladir> quemeraisc: too late I think for just "shred" since I rm'ed already
[11:54] <fevel_> ben alt f2     firestarter
[11:54] <LjL> LiENUS, only if the file still exists, but he seemed to be talking about the *unfilled* contents of the drive - i.e. deleted files. also, on ext3 those tools aren't very much guaranteed to do their job
[11:54] <mohooo> erUSUL: hmm, it's generating alot of locales...
[11:54] <jrib> nildo: what client are you using?
[11:54] <nildo> client????
[11:54] <LiENUS> LjL, dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.file does a pretty good job
[11:54] <grenouille[> hi How I can register an username?
[11:54] <LiENUS> then running dd if=/dev/urandom of=tmp.file
[11:54] <jrib> nildo: what program are you using to talk to me at the moment
[11:54] <LiENUS> will finish it
[11:55] <jrib> !register | grenouille[
[11:55] <ubotu> grenouille[: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[11:55] <LiENUS> followed by a shreding of tmp.file
[11:55] <LjL> LiENUS, it can't be any better than using shred or wipe
[11:55] <nildo> xchat
[11:55] <LiENUS> and theres no way its being recovered
[11:55] <LiENUS> LjL, it works for stuff already deleted tho
[11:55] <CakerX> hey
[11:55] <grenouille[> what's the i= on my ident means?
[11:55] <erUSUL> mohooo: choose the ones you want in your system... then set your LANG and LC_* env variables
[11:55] <CakerX> what did ubuntu do to the inetd.conf file?
[11:55] <LjL> LiENUS, what shred and wrap do *is* to do multiple passes of random (well, not really random, it's smarter than that) contents, so the dd's are totally unnecessary
[11:55] <XDy> anyone have any idea how to set desktop wallpapers on beryl vdesktops?
[11:55] <CakerX> I need to disable mail and ftp on this box I just setup
[11:55] <LiENUS> LjL,  but shred doesnt work if hes already deleted the file
[11:56] <LjL> LiENUS: how can it work for stuff already deleted, short of doing it on the entire drive, when there isn't a filename to it anymore?
[11:56] <LiENUS> which he implied
[11:56] <LiENUS> actually which he said
[11:56] <SmashCat> Hi, anyone here use amavis with Ubuntu?
[11:56] <nildo> jrib i use the Xchat
[11:56] <Falladir> yeah sorry
[11:56] <LjL> LiENUS: aaah - you're saying to make a file that fills the drive. i get it now
[11:56] <LiENUS> LjL,  dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.file on the partition/drive the stuff was dled in will remove it
[11:56] <LiENUS> yeah
[11:56] <Falladir> I kind of panicked, it was just so awful
[11:56] <dh1pa> Hi! anyone a hint for an apple/ppc user? Somehow I destroyed my bootsector while trying to install linux...
[11:56] <jrib> nildo: can't you right lick on #ubuntu-pt and then click join?
[11:57] <LjL> Falladir, LiENUS is probably quite right - not a trick i'd have thought about, but it should work. make one giant file until the drive is full, and..
[11:57] <Malachi> Can someone tell me why SBackup doesn't work?
[11:57] <Falladir> what is /dev/zero ?
[11:57] <LiENUS> yeah then shred the file
[11:57] <LiENUS> Falladir,  nothing but 0s
[11:57] <LiENUS> ie binary is 1s and 0s
[11:57] <techwhore> hey there. anyone using evolution + exchange plugin on ubuntu feisty ?
[11:57] <LiENUS>  /dev/zero is all the 0s
[11:57] <thompa> i cant get my printer to work no matter what i do
[11:57] <techwhore> Falladir: google it.
[11:58] <LiENUS> Falladir,  itl'l create a huge empty file
[11:58] <Kajin> This problem has bothered me all day. I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu Edgy, had some problems with my internet connection, so I set my DNS servers to both my router and the servers supplied by my ISP, I turned of IPv6 and I still can't browse to Yahoo's website (by URL or IP), even though I can ping both Yahoo.com and 66.94.234.13 (Yahoo's IP). As opposed to Yahoo, I can still access Google's site trough both the URL and the IP. Pinging works per
[11:58] <LiENUS> that will fill up 95% of the free space on the drive
[11:58] <linux_kid1> I have an older pc with xubuntu on it, and i want to make it so it has XDMCP, how do i do that?
[11:58] <CakerX> can anyone tell me how to turn off the POP3 and ftp services
[11:58] <thompa> my printer problem is somehow ubuntu related, cause it works on other distros
[11:58] <techwhore> linux_kid1: search the wiki
[11:58] <LiENUS> then you run shred on the file
[11:58] <LiENUS> and itl'l fill the file with random data
[11:58] <LiENUS> then back with blank data
[11:59] <LiENUS> then delete the file
[11:59] <Dame> !enter | Lie
[11:59] <LiENUS> if you run the dd command as root it should fill up 100% of the drive...
[11:59] <linux_kid1> techwhore, when i click "Login Window" it askes for a passwor, then it dosen't do anything
[11:59] <ubotu> Lie: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:59] <Dame> !enter | LiENUS
[11:59] <ubotu> LiENUS: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:59] <CSonicGo> hey guys, is the 2.6.20 kernel going to be supplied as an update?
[11:59] <Falladir> ok, great, thanks LiENUS
[11:59] <thompa> anyone know how to install a printer
[11:59] <LiENUS> CSonicGo, most likely not, 2.6.20 isnt stable
[11:59] <Falladir> filesharing can be hazardous to your state of mind.
[11:59] <Falladir> ugh, some people...
[11:59] <LiENUS> Falladir,  heh
[12:00] <LiENUS> learn to use the shred command, type in man shred at the command prompt
[12:00] <LiENUS> thats the proper way to delete something, i believe it actually meets dod specs...
[12:00] <pbureau> thompa,  open a browser window, and type http://localhost:631/ click on administration to install it
[12:00] <thompa> pbureau, thanks i did that, its installed, but it still does not print, says job stopped always
[12:01] <CSonicGo> LiENUS, are you sure? it was just promoted from release candidate
