[12:01] <soundray> Zenith2007: run 'sudo strace apt-get update' and see what it does the moment before the crash
[12:01] <variant> Haffy: your terminal needs to support it too
[12:01] <cables> Using network-manager I'm getting a fraction of the wi-fi speed I was getting without it. DOes anyone know what's going on?
[12:01] <frogzoo> Zenith2007: trying it with strace might give you a clue
[12:02] <Haffy> variant: ok
[12:02] <cables> never mind about my above question... just turned out to be a coincidence
[12:02] <Zenith2007> +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++  is last thing it said before returning to prompt

[12:03] <icebird> How do you compile a .cpp source code (it is just a test and only displays some words)
[12:03] <cables> nexousNET, were you here before as a different nick? To answer your question, I use a D-Link G650. It has an Atheros chipset, and is supported out-of-the-box with Ubuntu
[12:03] <soundray> Zenith2007: you need to look at the last few messages a bit closer. Don't just paste them here. See if it's not finding some file, etc.

[12:07] <ucordes> how can i get different keyboard layout ins kubuntu? (they seam to be not installed since i can't select them in control center. the list with keyboard layouts is just empty) if it is of any importance: i have ubuntu edgy installed and switched over to KDE by installing the packages kde and kubuntu-desktop
[12:07] <Zenith2007> bb in a bit if i can't get it working.
[12:07] <ubunttvr> variant what is the -r for ?
[12:07] <soundray> ucordes: have you asked in #kubuntu ?
[12:08] <soundray> ubunttvr: reboot (-h for shutdown)
[12:08] <tc75> frogzoo: thx...
[12:08] <ubunttvr> yeh h for hault !!
[12:08] <frogzoo> tc75: yw
[12:09] <cables> nexousNET, Linksys and most other companies don't actually make the wireless hardware... so you need Texas Instruments drivers. I'm not entirely sure those exist, though... I'll look.
[12:09] <icebird> i think I have already installed build essential.  How do i compile it with g++
[12:09] <nexousNET> cables: okay thanks.

[12:09] <Onburiiku> Hello! =)
[12:09] <icebird> C++ source code

[12:10] <variant> BrianB04: marginaly

[12:10] <ucordes> soundray: good idea
[12:10] <progek> can someone tell me where system links are stored when I use the ln command? I'm trying to erase an old link before creating a new one.
[12:11] <BrianB04> progek: A link is just the link file itself.
[12:11] <marshall> does anybody know where to get better OO.o 2 icons? the default icons are horribly ugly
[12:11] <BrianB04> progek: Well, there's more too it, but for all intents and purposes you delete the link, the link is gone

[12:16] <cables> nexousNET, your card should work natively with Ubuntu 6.06 and up, according to a user at the ndiswrapper wiki.
[12:16] <soundray> marshall: no, sorry
[12:16] <cables> nexousNET, how have you tried configuring it?

[12:20] <nexousNET> cables: yes, I've run ethernet off of it before.
[12:20] <nexousNET> cables: but being a laptop, I need it to be wireless 24/7 now.

[12:20] <HP_Vue> cables, Like if you have kubuntu-desktop, you have to go to the options menue, then session type and select KDE

[12:23] <nexousNET> dyrne: do you want ethernet active?
[12:23] <cables> glick, used to be? on what system?

[12:24] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Onburiiku, Thanx again!

[12:28] <cables> dyrne, nexousNET, good idea
[12:28] <bonesaw> can anyone help me with VSFTP?
[12:29] <nexousNET> dyrne: it's a default router, just a different SSID/name
[12:29] <cables> nexousNET, if your ethernet card can connect properly but not wireless, maybe it's your MAC address...
[12:29] <nexousNET> cables: but why would it matter if my router doesn't filter MAC addresses?
[12:29] <nexousNET> cables: is my ethernet connection suppose to be active during this?
[12:29] <nexousNET> or just wireless?
[12:29] <yaman> hello there any link to the libnet-1.0.2a library ??? please
[12:30] <cables> nexousNET, during what?
[12:30] <nexousNET> cables: pinging. I know I'm trying to use wireless but i wasn't sure.

[12:36] <dyrne> nexousNET: you can plug/unplug as much as you want if everything is working
[12:36] <Silthrim> hmm i guess that worked
[12:36] <Onburiiku> I've got a big problem. I have Ubuntu installed on my external harddrive. A few nights ago I put it into hibernate and went to bed. When I turned the computer on though, it tried to boot to my drive as usual but I got nothing but a blank screen with a flashing bar (Like a command line). Nothing happened when I type anything, and after a bit typing makes the system beep sound. Nothing happens except after about five minutes it says "St
[12:36] <Onburiiku> I can access the HD from my LiveCD Ubuntu, is there anything I could change or delete to fix the problem?
[12:36] <Pablo> Onburiiku, i would think that either it is a hardware issue.... or... its mbr related if not hardware... both of which... if you are asking... you are prolly doomed..... what did you change on the machine before making it sleep? have you tried to install the hard drive internally?
[12:36] <dyrne> nexousNET: the gui app was showing the network?

[12:37] <cables> sander_m, no idea then...
[12:37] <cables> Silthrim, system>administration>login window
[12:37] <Onburiiku> Pablo: I don't think I changed anything, I just hibernated before I went to bed. What do you mean by "Install the hard drive internally"? Oh, and if it helps it's a USB drive.
[12:38] <elementz> can somebody help me with my wlan?
[12:38] <unop> HP_Vue,  in someways ms-dos and win32 are derived off of unix and so is mac os x .. but that doesnt mean the two share much likeliness, its the same with your supposition
[12:38] <dyrne> nexousNET: what model card?
[12:38] <elementz> using pcmcia netgear with ndiswrapper -> computer freezes after some time of surfing

[12:38] <nexousNET> dyrne: wpc54g
[12:38] <Pablo> Onburiiku,  it is a usb jump drive... or a hard drive with a usb interface?

[12:40] <whonicca> anyone?
[12:40] <nexousNET> dyrne: okay thanks.
[12:40] <cables> nexousNET, that won't help... it's not for your card. I looked already
[12:41] <nexousNET> cables: but that is my card.

[12:41] <NiGhTcHiLd> is this the ubuntu chat
[12:42] <unop> sander_m,  what does  apt-cache policy cupsys  list as the possible repositories for it?
[12:42] <Silthrim> NiGhTcHiLd: yes
[12:42] <unop> Silthrim,  right click panels, properties ....
[12:42] <sander_m> unop: See http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4510/
[12:42] <cables> nexousNET, never mind, that might not help... the thing is, it doesn't sound like a wireless problem to me. It's connecting, so it seems to be working... it's just some general networking problem.
[12:42] <NiGhTcHiLd> how can i change me desktop enviroment
[12:42] <HP_Vue> How do I get the cube desktop on ubuntu>
[12:42] <mcphail> sander_m: i think the "candidate: none" suggests that apt-cache can't find it
[12:42] <bobbyyu> After downloading 600 updates, my Ubuntu crashed, displaying this message: Failed to start the X-Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X-server output to diagnose the problem?
[12:42] <nexousNET> cables: is there anyway to see if the actually device is working?
[12:43] <nexousNET> cables: besides the light being on the network adapter.
[12:43] <cables> if it's connecting to the network, it's working
[12:43] <nexousNET> cables: it's got power, but no link.
[12:43] <frogzoo> HP_Vue: that's beryl (or compiz)
[12:43] <NiGhTcHiLd> what is beryl use for
[12:43] <Silthrim> unop: what about the text color or the theme of the menus themeselves?
[12:43] <frogzoo> NiGhTcHiLd: it's a desktop manager that does 3d & other cool effects
[12:43] <cables> !beryl | NiGhTcHiLd
[12:43] <ubotu> NiGhTcHiLd: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:43] <sander_m> mcphail: Yes, but it does list the repository where to find it. I've apt-get updated countless times now. I even did a full refresh my commenting out my sources.list, doing an update, removing the comments and updating again
[12:44] <HP_Vue> frogzoo: I just want the cube, I don't want the wierd window effects
[12:44] <unop> sander_m,  it looks like cupsys is a meta-package that has a replacement candidate (one of cupsys-common or cupsys-bsd) as the apt-get errors indicate
[12:44] <cables> nexousNET, if you have Windows on that machine, you can try it on that...
[12:44] <BigToe7000> How do I get my phone to send me a file via OBEX?
[12:44] <bobbyyu> My problem start when I downloaded around 600 updates
[12:44] <nexousNET> cables: the card worked before with windows.
[12:44] <Silthrim> HP_Vue: its all or none.. either way you need to correctly configure your video card
[12:44] <bobbyyu> Do you know where I can find help?
[12:44] <Onburiiku> *Sigh*
[12:44] <Onburiiku> I guess the only thing I can do is re-install Ubuntu
[12:44] <cables> nexousNET, no idea, sorry...
[12:44] <Silthrim> most likely
[12:44] <cables> Onburiiku, what's the problem?
[12:44] <Onburiiku> again
[12:44] <Onburiiku> I've got a big problem. I have Ubuntu installed on my external harddrive. A few nights ago I put it into hibernate and went to bed.

[12:44] <mcphail> sander_m: afaik, if there's no "candidate", the packsge doesn't exist any more
[12:45] <HP_Vue> What about XGL?
[12:45] <unop> Silthrim,  well, you'll need to find an appropriate theme (or create one yourself) that offers those beautifications
[12:45] <Onburiiku> Pablo said I was pretty much doomed
[12:45] <cables> HP_Vue, all the effects are optional
[12:45] <bobbyyu> My X-server failed to start. Where can I find help?
[12:46] <Silthrim> unop: what "type" of theme would i look for and is there a program that does this for you? like emerald?
[12:46] <whonicca> question, im using ntfs-3g, when i delete files on my ntfs drive they go into a folder called .trash-user, i was wondering, how can i link this to my desktops trash can and have it so when i select empty trash can it deletes stuff on both drives
[12:46] <sander_m> unop: Nope. I have both cupsys-common and cupsys-bsd installed. Doesn't work. And the package exists.
[12:46] <sander_m> mcphail: The package exists. See http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cupsys/
[12:46] <HP_Vue> cables, Is there a tutorial on how to get XGL?
[12:46] <mindstate> bobbyyu: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:46] <Silthrim> HP_Vue: go to the Beryl wiki
[12:46] <variant> whonicca: ln -s
[12:47] <cables> HP_Vue, do you have an Nvidia card or ATI card?

[12:47] <variant> whonicca: ln -s source desitnation
[12:47] <HP_Vue> Yea
[12:47] <HP_Vue> I have ATI
[12:47] <unop> sander_m,  the package does not exist anymore -- the size of the packages in the pool indicates that it is purely a metapackage
[12:47] <quaal> i feel bad for ati people
[12:47] <nexousNET> Is there anyway to...

[12:47] <quaal> Silthrim, heh
[12:47] <nexousNET> Run an ethernet cord from ubuntu laptop, windows desktop, and share internet connections via windows wireless?
[12:47] <bobbyyu> That'll fix the X-Server problem?
[12:48] <whonicca> variant, but when i select to empty trash can, it only empties stuff on my nix drive, not my ntfs since its only links
[12:48] <bobbyyu> mindstate: It started when I downloaded a bunch of updates
[12:48] <quaal> Silthrim, i made the mistake of getting an ati radeon 64mb (like first generation). never again.
[12:48] <||arifaX> PriceChild: seems to work I defined the password as server password as documented. - fine
[12:48] <Silthrim> are there programs to customize the panels?
[12:48] <Silthrim> quaal: ^__^
[12:48] <PriceChild> ||arifaX, wooooooo :)
[12:48] <cables> Silthrim, in gdm?
[12:48] <Silthrim> i mean the panels in GNOME
[12:49] <Silthrim> yeah
[12:49] <cables> Silthrim, you can do that manually
[12:49] <mindstate> bobbyu: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver to configure X
[12:49] <quaal> Silthrim, fluxbox
[12:49] <HP_Vue> cables, I am using Kubuntu-desktop, so will I need to change back to Gnome?

[12:49] <PriceChild> ||arifaX_, :)
[12:49] <cables> HP_Vue, for what? I have short-term memory loss :)
[12:49] <unop> sander_m,  have you made any recent changes to your /etc/apt/sources.list (sudo aptitude update  if so) -- installing cupsys should bring in the other packages and not complain
[12:49] <sander_m> unop: It's 1.4 Mb. You can download it and open it in the file-roller and see for yourself: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cupsys/cupsys_1.2.4-2ubuntu3_i386.deb

[12:50] <bobbyyu> mindstate: after typing that, what do I do?

[12:50] <HP_Vue> oh
[12:50] <UntouchableMX> I downloaded a realmedia player, and I want to know how to install it, can some onehelp me???
[12:50] <mindstate> bobbyyu: press enter
[12:50] <Silthrim> can i run fluxbox and beryl simultaneously?
[12:50] <sander_m> unop: No changes. And I have updated at least two dozen times in the last 24 hours, with both synaptic as apt-get update from the command line
[12:51] <Silthrim> or are they programs that "cancel each other out"?
[12:51] <pfein> any recommended reading for how to maintain (identical) Ubuntu installs across a cluster?
[12:51] <quaal> Silthrim, dont know
[12:51] <cables> UnthouchableMX, unzip it to the desktop, and run the install script in the terminal. I'll be right back if you need more help
[12:51] <Silthrim> hmm
[12:51] <quaal> Silthrim, just trying to install fluxbox for the first time now
[12:51] <UntouchableMX> well its just a bin file
[12:51] <Silthrim> quaal: tell me if you have any problems because it seems that its not a fan of GNOME
[12:52] <Sleeperknight> I have a problem with Wine and registry's, its not showing direct3d in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\ anyone know the problem?
[12:52] <frogzoo> Sleeperknight: -> #winehq
[12:52] <NiGhTcHiLd> GNOME,BERYL AND KDE are all desktop manager?
[12:52] <Sleeperknight> i did no one is answering
[12:53] <quaal> Silthrim, i believe it replaces gnome.
[12:53] <HP_Vue> There is a problem, when I type sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes in Terminal to install Beryl, I get an error of: E: Couldn't find package beryl
[12:53] <unop> sander_m,  errm, try this - sudo aptitude install cupsys=1.2.4   -- or if that fails, try and install that .deb manually with -- dpkg -i file.deb
[12:53] <Silthrim> correct me if im wrong but GNOME and KDE are desktop managers and Beryl is a window manager
[12:53] <Silthrim> quaal: oh i didnt realize that
[12:53] <White_Lightning> ok, I've got a really massive problem
[12:53] <Onburiiku> *sigh*
[12:53] <elementz> is there a way to extract an exe installer on a linux box?
[12:53] <mindstate> i think Beryl is a desktop manager
[12:53] <frogzoo> pfein: you'd do best to replicate at the file system level, with links to a local partition for different configs (off the top of my head)
[12:53] <mcphail> sander_m: have you installed any non-ubuntu repos?
[12:53] <White_Lightning> I edited my xorg file a little bit for my dual screens, same as always
[12:53] <cables> Onburiiku, I'd venture to say that hibernate + external drive = bad. It may be possible to delete the file that told Ubuntu it was hibernated, so it doesn't try to restore from Hibernation again, but I'm not sure.
[12:53] <Onburiiku> I'm just going to have to re-install Ubuntu then
[12:53] <White_Lightning> it works fine, here's the large problem
[12:54] <mindstate> HP_Vue: did u add the repo's to your sources.list?
[12:54] <Onburiiku> Wow.
[12:54] <cables> Onburiiku, read my above message... not much help probably though.
[12:54] <ryanakca> how can I tell the XOrg server version?
[12:54] <HP_Vue> mindstate: no.
[12:54] <Silthrim> beryl is a window manager that runs inside the KDE or GNOME desktop manager (i believe :P)
[12:54] <quaal> Silthrim, http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net
[12:54] <White_Lightning> terminal no longer works in the gui, and terminal screens (alt F1-F6) doesn't work correctly
[12:54] <sander_m> mpchail: Only my personal one. It contains only gnome-hearts
[12:54] <unop> elementz,  try one of cabextract or unzip -- bear in mind not all .exe files are self-extracting archives tho
[12:54] <mindstate> HP_Vue: you have to add them to install beryl via apt-get
[12:54] <Silthrim> quaal: yeah thanks
[12:54] <ryanakca> how can I tell the XOrg server version (the command, that works cross-distro)
[12:54] <White_Lightning> so I can't use terminal period on my desktop
[12:54] <frogzoo> cables: Onburiiku you could boot from a live cd & delete the hibernate file
[12:54] <White_Lightning> why would that happen
[12:54] <Silthrim> quaal: brb
[12:54] <Onburiiku> xD, sorry. It seems I always give up the second osmeone answers my quiestion
[12:54] <Onburiiku> question*
[12:54] <NiGhTcHiLd> once yyou download a theme from beryl how do you install it
[12:54] <elementz> unop, thx

[12:55] <Jordan_U> !return | White_Lightning
[12:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about return - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <cables> Onburiiku, frogzoo: but he'd have to know where that is. I recommend the Knoppix livecd as it mounts drives by default
[12:55] <sander_m> unop: aptitude says: Unable to find a version "1.2.4" for the package "cupsys"
[12:55] <Onburiiku> Frogzoo: Which file is the hibernate file?
[12:55] <mcphail> sander_m: maybe the cupsys package conflicts with something else you have installed
[12:55] <Jordan_U> White_Lightning: Sorry, just don't hit return so often, it makes your comments hard to follow
[12:55] <White_Lightning> well you guys all know that you have to use terminal at one point or another
[12:55] <pfein> frogzoo: hmm... any clever ways of propogating a list of desired packages & letting apt/dpkg handle it?  FS-level replication is... painful.
[12:55] <MarcoPau> anybody knows what this could be? *** glibc detected *** scanimage: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08054708 ***
[12:55] <Onburiiku> Cables: I can get to my drive. I just need to know which file to delete
[12:55] <White_Lightning> sorry, a little on edge with this issue
[12:56] <mcphail> sander_m: i'm on dapper so can't explore any further
[12:56] <cables> Onburiiku, hmm... now you have a more specific question to ask, so maybe people will be able to help you more
[12:56] <Jordan_U> White_Lightning: What happens when you try to launch an xterminal, in what way does it not work?
[12:56] <Onburiiku> Cables: That's good. Thanks for helping me out. =)
[12:56] <quaal> i <3 apt-get
[12:57] <mindstate> quaal: i do too :)
[12:57] <HP_Vue> For https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy#head-05ba3cff701f95574c3441c08f0c16d354308daf If i get "direct rendering: Yes" then Do I need to skip the Driver install step? If so, were to I pick up?
[12:57] <Silthrim> lol quaal
[12:57] <frogzoo> pfein: dpkg --get-selections ?
[12:57] <White_Lightning> if I try launching a terminal window, it opens the icon on the taskbar (starting terminal....) and hangs for a bit, then that icon dissapears and nothing else happens. All other programs appear to be functioning properly
[12:57] <quaal> its almost toooo easy
[12:57] <Jordan_U> HP_Vue: what GFX card?
[12:57] <HP_Vue> ATI
[12:57] <unop> sander_m,  well, the problem is your apt-cache policy cupsys command shows no candidate for cupsys -- despite it also listing 1.2.4 available in the repos .. try manually installing the cupsys .deb file
[12:57] <mindstate> !ati | HP_Vue

[12:58] <Jordan_U> mindstate: don't just spam ubotu when you see the word ATI :)
[12:58] <Silthrim> nightchild: use Emerald
[12:58] <sander_m> unop: I'll try
[12:58] <mindstate> Jordan_U: I'm not
[12:58] <NiGhTcHiLd> when i press fetch theme nothing happens
[12:58] <Onburiiku> In that case, does anyone here know which file tells Ubuntu it's hibernated? I have Ubuntu on an external drive, and hibernation causes it not to boot. I can access my drive from my LiveCD, so all I should have to do is delete the "Hibernation" file. Anyone know which file that is?
[12:59] <White_Lightning> any thoughts?
[12:59] <cables> Onburiiku, try searching for it. Everywhere. And do a file search for "hib"
[12:59] <sander_m> unop: Ah, progress! --> Package ssl-cert is not installed.
[12:59] <slyfox>  What do you people use to do backups ?

[12:59] <yaman> can't get the libnet-1.0.2a  the site is not running any mirror ?
[12:59] <Jordan_U> HP_Vue: Nice, that means that you can use AIGLX and you actually shouldn't follow those instructions as they will install fglrx which is a PITA :) I'll figure out where to go next...
[01:00] <cables> slyfox, i use sbackup
[01:00] <slyfox> cables: is it an automatic one ?

[01:00] <cables> slyfox, by default it's automatic by time, through cron. However, I set it up with Anacron so I won't miss a backup ifmy computer's off
[01:00] <unop> sander_m,  i dont think so -- apt-cache policy cupsys needs to list an available candidate for apt-get/aptitude to be able to install it -- in any case, if you supposition were true, ssl-cert should be pulled in via depends
[01:01] <JunK-Y> with the volume control manager, how can i know whats the name of the muted icon?
[01:01] <UntouchableMX> need help, how do I install a bin file???
[01:01] <bobbyyu> Now when I log into to recovery mode, I can't type anything!
[01:01] <frogzoo> Onburiiku: I'm guessing (only guessing) that if you rename the file, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume  you'll be able to boot
[01:01] <_bt_> HI, mounts aren't appearing on my desktop anymore. does anyone else have this problem?
[01:01] <cables> UntouchableMX, hold on a sec, I'll help you
[01:01] <_bt_> its really annoying
[01:01] <UntouchableMX> ok thanks
[01:01] <cables> UntouchableMX, private chat?
[01:01] <UntouchableMX> ok
[01:01] <Onburiiku> Frogzoo: Okay, I'll try that.
[01:01] <unop> UntouchableMX,  you run it -- chmod a+x /path/to/file.bin; sudo /path/to/file.bin
[01:01] <Onburiiku> Thanks for the help everyone =)
[01:01] <pbureau> anyone use opera and got adobe flash to work with it ?
[01:01] <mcphail> _bt_: i think you can change that behaviour in gconf-editor
[01:01] <White_Lightning> sorry guys, I hit a segmentation fault. Anyway does anyone know why terminal would stop functioning?
[01:01] <_bt_> mcphail, any idea what key to change?
[01:02] <mcphail> _bt_: sorry - you'd need to search
[01:02] <_bt_> its NFS and SAMBA mounts that are in fstab aren't showing when mounted anymore
[01:02] <NiGhTcHiLd> can someone help me
[01:02] <sander_m> unop: Nope, it worked allright. And it even finished installing cypsys now. See http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4526/
[01:02] <Jordan_U> HP_Vue: Go to enable compositing X
[01:02] <matteo> does http://linux-ide.org/ ever been so?
[01:02] <HP_Vue> Thanks
[01:02] <bobbyyu> mindstate: I can't type anything when in recovery mode. What to do?
[01:02] <mcphail> _bt_: it is likely to be somewhere under the "nautilus" tree
[01:02] <NiGhTcHiLd> how do i apply themes to from emearld
[01:03] <_bt_> mcphail, thanks am looking
[01:03] <mindstate> bobbyyu: what happened when u tried to reconfigure X
[01:03] <bonesaw> can anyone help me with VSFTP?
[01:03] <Onburiiku> Frogzoo: I don't see any initramfs-tools directory
[01:03] <HP_Vue> bash: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Permission denied
[01:03] <bobbyyu> I can't. I can't type anything from the command prompt
[01:03] <bobbyyu> (recovery mode)
[01:03] <mcphail> _bt_: apps -> nautilus -> desktop -> volumes visible
[01:03] <bobbyyu> I can't get into Ubuntu (X-Server error)
[01:03] <sander_m> unop: Is there a way to see if there are other packages on my system " not fully installed or removed."? Synaptic never complained about broken packages when ssl-cert was only half-installed
[01:04] <unop> sander_m,  if you have a couple of minutes - please fill in a bug-report so that the dev team knows of this behaviour -- it'll help ubuntu and others facing this situation
[01:04] <_bt_> mcphail, thanks!
[01:04] <arnon> how can I create symbolick link /home/aaa/link that connect to /home/bbb/folderlink ? how does the permission need to be setup ?
[01:04] <sander_m> unop: I'll file a bug
[01:04] <unop> sander_m,  usually if you run something like  - sudo aptitude install -f  .. it attempts to fix broken packages and depends
[01:05] <unop> arnon,  /home/bbb/folderlink's permissions need to be adjusted to allow the 'aaa' user access
[01:06] <pfein> frogzoo: kickstart/preseeds look like a good start too...
[01:06] <Jordan_U> White_Lightning: try running this from the run dialog: xterm > xterm-output.txt 2>&1
[01:06] <Onburiiku> Does anyone know the file that tells Ubuntu it's in hibernation?
[01:06] <White_Lightning> ok I'll give that a shot
[01:06] <ZellSF> I'm installing Windows now, how would I reinstall grub to allow me to dual boot
[01:07] <Flannel> !grub | ZellSF
[01:07] <ubotu> ZellSF: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:07] <sander_m> unop: Uhh... something is *very* wrong on my system :-( See the output of aptitude instal -f: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4527/
[01:07] <nikitis> yay, i installed Windows 98
[01:07] <ZellSF> that doesn't say if it'll add Windows to the grub menu though :/
[01:07] <Jordan_U> sander_m: Did you just upgrade to Edgy by any chance?
[01:08] <Flannel> ZellSF: it does.  Grub always does.  Linux plays nicely ;)
[01:08] <ZellSF> ah, ok, I guess I'll try that then
[01:08] <sander_m> Jordan_U: Yes. A few weeks back, using apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:08] <ZellSF> once I get Windows installed.
[01:09] <unop> sander_m,  not to worry -- what you'll need to do manually is to install packages that are required by others -- for e.g. you see in the output there that f-spot depends on lib-mono and lib-dbus -- install those missing packages  and you'll see the situation gradually improve
[01:09] <Jordan_U> sander_m: Always read the documentation before upgrading, that is not the way to upgrade to Edgy, should be fixable though but no guarantee
[01:10] <dudley> has sound stopping due to some update been an issue for anyone?
[01:10] <White_Lightning> alright guys I'm closer, I can run xterm, but gnome-terminal won't work. Is there any way to reset that
[01:10] <unop> sander_m,  I also have a feeling that you might have a few discrepancies in your /etc/apt/sources.list -- can you pastebin those contents please?
[01:10] <Jordan_U> sander_m: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[01:10] <Onburiiku> How do I rename something using the terminal?
[01:10] <ZellSF> use mv
[01:11] <unop> Onburiiku,  move the file
[01:11] <arnon> unop, both bbb and aaa are in 'wheel' group, /home/bbb/folderlink already has rwx permission for 'wheel' and aaa still can't even create the symbolic link , it got ln: accessing  ...: permission denied
[01:11] <Onburiiku> unop: How do I do that?
[01:11] <NiGhTcHiLd> how can i install a theme using emearld
[01:11] <sander_m> unop: My sources.list is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4506/
[01:11] <quaal> hey
[01:11] <quaal> this fluxbox install guide says A .xsession file in your home directory. you may have it or not. if you dont create it.in the terminal type nano ~/.xsession and put this in there
[01:11] <unop> Onburiiku,  mv orig new
[01:11] <quaal> does this mean /home or /home/username
[01:11] <Jordan_U> sander_m: Follow all the instructions from the section "Upgrading using apt-get -- NOT RECOMMENDED"
[01:11] <Flannel> quaal: ~ is /home/username
[01:11] <unop> arnon,  two secs
[01:11] <quaal> Flannel, thanks
[01:12] <NiGhTcHiLd> help please
[01:12] <Flannel> quaal: /home is just a folder for users home dirs, /home/username is their actual homedir
[01:12] <HP_Vue> How can I get the clock to be 12 hour instead of 24 hour
[01:12] <Jordan_U> sander_m: "deb http://packages.jejik.com/ubuntu dapper main" needs to be Edgy also
[01:12] <NiGhTcHiLd> HOW CAN I INSTALL A THEME USING EMEARLD
[01:13] <Onburiiku> mv orig new... so, it would be "sudo mv /media/usbdisk/etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d /media/usbdisk/etc/mkinitramfs/"
[01:13] <frogzoo> NiGhTcHiLd: run emerald theme manager, then select 'reload windows decorator'
[01:13] <Onburiiku> no wait
[01:13] <Jordan_U> !caps | NiGhTcHiLd
[01:13] <ubotu> NiGhTcHiLd: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:13] <Onburiiku> nvm
[01:13] <PriceChild> NiGhTcHiLd, #ubuntu-effects deals with beryl/compiz issues
[01:13] <Onburiiku> Thanks unop
[01:13] <sander_m> Jordan_U: No worries. It contains only one package for a game I created (gnome-hearts). There is no edgy for it because gnome-hearts is in edgy's universe
[01:13] <unop> sander_m,  it seems a bit all-over-the-place -- i suggest using this instead http://pastebin.ca/343372
[01:14] <pbureau> anyone use opera and got adobe flash to work with it ?
[01:14] <At0mic_PC> I used to have adblock and had some site where it would help set up the blocking of ads. I can't find it anymore. Anyone have it where they don't mind sharing?
[01:14] <Flannel> unop, sander_m, you should be using edgy-commercial not dapper-
[01:14] <pbureau> \adblock is an addon for firefox
[01:14] <White_Lightning> error output: the program 'gnome-terminal' received an x window system error. The error was 'BadValue )integer parameter out of rang for operation)' Details: serial 108 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0
[01:14] <NiGhTcHiLd> still not working'
[01:15] <unop> Flannel,  thanks for pointing that out -- my bad :)
[01:15] <HP_Vue> Really, how do you get the clock to be in 12 mode, in Kubuntu-desktop?
[01:15] <At0mic_PC> pbureau: Yeah I got the addon I just can't remember the site where it helped set up the blocking of the ads. :)
[01:15] <NiGhTcHiLd> i click fetch theme then i go to beryl and select reload dec andnothing happens
[01:15] <sander_m> Flannel: Thanks. And I should replace gb with nl for better speed since I'm in Holland
[01:15] <Jordan_U> sander_m: The main problem is that you didn't run dist-upgrade multiple times so sisvinit was never replaced with upstart, following the apt-get instructions here should sort things out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[01:15] <pbureau> At0mic_PC, no idea...
[01:15] <kbrosnan> At0mic_PC: http://adblock.mozdev.org/forum.html/no_wrap
[01:15] <Onburiiku> Thank you Frogzoo, cables, unop, and Pablo. I'll be back in a minute after trying everything out.
[01:16] <unop> sander_m,  yep :)
[01:16] <unop> arnon,  ok, you there?
[01:16] <At0mic_PC> Thanks!
[01:16] <arnon> unop, yes
[01:16] <Pablo> ;)
[01:16] <unop> arnon,  ok, now, which user is logged on and creating the link and how ?
[01:16] <sander_m> Jordan_U: Would that also explain why my self-written /etc/init.d/backup.sh that I symlinked from /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d don't run anymore?
[01:17] <cables> Onburiiku, good luck :)
[01:17] <NiGhTcHiLd> can i get some help drom soneone please
[01:17] <NiGhTcHiLd> i only have like 3 questions
[01:17] <hikenboot_> hello all--here is a simple question...If I want to make a link to a directory (Because the path contains spaces which nx cant handle) how would i do this...it appears ln -s "/firefox /home/hikenboot/.wine/drive_c/Program files...." creates a link that is more like a file...am I using the wrong switch?
[01:17] <unop> sander_m,  you should be using update-rc.d to enable and disable services -- not manually symlinking
[01:18] <NiGhTcHiLd> after you click fetch theme what is the nest step
[01:18] <Jordan_U> sander_m: Probably, Upstart is backwards compatible though so once you finish the upgrade it should work again, and what unop said :)
[01:18] <kbrosnan> hikenboot_: use \ characters to escape spaces
[01:18] <NiGhTcHiLd> after you click fetch theme what is the next step
[01:18] <NiGhTcHiLd> after you click fetch theme what is the next step
[01:18] <sander_m> unop: I did it though update-rc.d :-) But my backup script still refuses to run when I reboot or shut down.
[01:18] <hikenboot_> kbrosnan, apparently nx cant handle using the \ character
[01:18] <NiGhTcHiLd> after you click fetch theme what is the next step
[01:18] <ardchoille> NiGhTcHiLd: stop repeating please
[01:19] <sander_m> I'll get to upgrading (again) then :-) Thanks for all the help so far
[01:19] <unop> sander_m,  does the backup script work when invoked normally?
[01:19] <Jordan_U> sander_m: Follow ALL the other instructions also.
[01:19] <sander_m> unop: yes. Perfectly
[01:20] <unop> sander_m,  errm, i'd wait till you finished resolving the issues you have at the moment first -- stabilize the system a bit before going on to do it, you might resolve the problem on the way too
[01:20] <Plow> a
[01:20] <NiGhTcHiLd> unop
[01:21] <unop> NiGhTcHiLd :)
[01:21] <gOLdenHaWK3D> lol
[01:21] <quaal> hmm
[01:21] <quaal> does this Use you're start up file. Type nano ~/.fluxbox/startup (if it does not exist, create it) and put this in there
[01:21] <quaal> also mean the /home/username directory ?
[01:21] <NiGhTcHiLd> unop:after you click fetch theme what is the next step
[01:21] <unop> NiGhTcHiLd,  what are you trying to theme?
[01:21] <adamonline45> How would I add a script to rc.d with a parameter? What I'm trying: sudo update-rc.d scriptname parm. This adds the script, but how do I know it's gonna run the script with the requested parameter, parm?
[01:21] <sander_m> unop: I meant re-doing the Edgy upgrade like Jordan_U suggested, not upgrading to Feisty. Or were you talking about Edgy?
[01:21] <hikenboot_> anyone able to help with the ln switch?
[01:21] <White_Lightning> hey I figured it out
[01:22] <NiGhTcHiLd> using emearld to try a new theme but itwont work
[01:22] <NiGhTcHiLd> .............
[01:22] <unop> adamonline45,  you should pass arguments to your script from within the script itself (i.e. hardcoded arguments) .. or get your script to pull in args from an external source, like a file, etc
[01:23] <kbrosnan> hikenboot_: ln -s "/firefox /home/hikenboot/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe should work
[01:23] <White_Lightning> with dual monitors, xinerama causes an error with gnome-terminal. Shutting xinerama off allows it to work again, and actually, I kind of like it this way. I have two monitors, but one is in a different spot. Now it's more like having two computers with a software kvm running between the two, and I can live with that until xinerama is fixed
[01:23] <White_Lightning> thanks guys
[01:23] <unop> NiGhTcHiLd,  I think all you have to do is open up the gnome-theme-manager and import the theme, select and apply it
[01:23] <syntaxx> anyone know how can i make an account lock after 3 valid logins?
[01:23] <hikenboot_> ah ok thanks maybe its because i used the quotes ...thanks
[01:23] <genii> Why would you want to run firefox under wine??
[01:24] <syntaxx> anyone know or what to read how can i make an account lock after 3 valid logins?
[01:24] <unop> kbrosnan,  eh? but /firefox is a non-standard location -- maybe you meant /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
[01:24] <adamonline45> unop: Okay.  I think maybe I'll just create another script that will run at boot, and just call the script I need with the parameter...  thanks :)
[01:24] <syntaxx> invalid*
[01:24] <Jordan_U> genii: I used it before flash 9 came out
[01:24] <kbrosnan> genii: shockwave
[01:24] <Quintin> lgc: nada
[01:24] <hikenboot_> kbrosnan, whats the single quote do?
[01:24] <Quintin> lgc: you can have vnc over XDMCP though
[01:24] <Quintin> What package do I want for my p4/ht processor?
[01:24] <unop> adamonline45,  yep, thats another way you can do it -- but that could create additional difficulty if you need to debug your script -- but, your call :)
[01:24] <kbrosnan> hikenboot_: the quote was an accident
[01:24] <At0mic_PC> Is the flashplayer-mozilla the beta9?
[01:24] <hikenboot_> ah ok
[01:25] <Bsims> I am having a problem with encoding on usenet, slrn isn't handling latin 1 encodings any ideas
[01:25] <sander_m> unop, Jordan_U: The weird thing is, I upgraded this thing the exact same way that I upgraded my laptop two days earlier and the laptop worked fine (but the laptop was installed from 6.06.1, not 6.06)
[01:25] <MarcoPau> can you help with this? cp: cannot create regular file `etc/localtime': Permission denied
[01:25] <Bsims> MarcoPau: try sudo cp whatever to here
[01:26] <Jordan_U> sander_m: I wouldn't be surprised if you looked at your other laptop and it was still using sisvinit
[01:26] <unop> sander_m,  well, hopefully the sources.list i gave you is comprehensive enough to allow apt to bring in whatever it needs from the ubuntu repos -- how is it faring?
[01:26] <MarcoPau> Bsims: that comes from /etc/init.d/postfix restart
[01:26] <sander_m> unop: so far, so well. Turned out I was missing ubuntu-desktop
[01:26] <musya> can i add more links to my apt sources list? where can i get them from?
[01:26] <unop> MarcoPau,  you need to sudo that command --
[01:26] <Jordan_U> sander_m: The easiest way to upgrade is just to run: sudo update-manager -c
[01:26] <Flannel> sander_m: 6.06 and 6.06.1 are identical once installed.  The latter is just updated installation files.  You should always upgrade completely (with *ubuntu-desktop) before dist-upgrading
[01:26] <sander_m> Jordan_U: How can I check whether sysvinit or upstart is running?
[01:27] <NiGhTcHiLd> unop: i cant change the theme using emearld why is that
[01:27] <MarcoPau> unop: jeez, so stupid. I'm still not used to sudo :)
[01:27] <Jordan_U> sander_m: Check to see if the sisvinit package is installed
[01:27] <dotcomslashnet> Anyone here running Beryl on a less-common-than-nvidia-or-ati chipset? Where is best to go for some help?
[01:27] <unop> sander_m,  usually if upstart is installed, you know its in-charge
[01:27] <Flannel> dotcomslashnet: #ubuntu-effects
[01:27] <dotcomslashnet> thanks.
[01:27] <Bsims> though sudo -i is close enough
[01:27] <steel_lady> question: mysql records data from the base in binary file that I can not open anyhow without mysql?
[01:28] <adamonline45> unop: Alright, so, if I wanted to pass an argument from the script to itself, what should I do?  Basically this is a script that under normal circumstances asks me which firewall profile to load, and calls another script that flushes and writes the new rules to iptables.  So if I wanted it to run at boot, with the default profile, do you have any ideas on how I could do that?
[01:28] <the_plumber> installed ubuntu on three machines and none of them have working sound. everything seems to work well (no errors, sound card is found etc) but no sound. ubuntu is latest i386 desktop
[01:28] <unop> NiGhTcHiLd,  i'm sorry, i dont use gnome very much and i'm not keen on theming things out .. i prefer a run-of-the-mill desktop
[01:28] <ferret_0567> Does Evolution in Ubuntu 6.10 do reminders? If so, how memory much does the notification daemon take?
[01:28] <variant> lo all, i really need to be able to get a grub shell prompt on a pxe booted laptop.. anyone got some method i can use?
[01:28] <the_plumber> soundcard is built on intel ad1981a
[01:29] <Jordan_U> variant: pxe?
[01:29] <variant> Jordan_U: network booted
[01:29] <unop> adamonline45,  if you examine other scripts in /etc/init.d/ .. you'll see that they hardcode options and arguments within the script itself in the form of variables .. thats the safest/best way
[01:29] <kercyr> I'm trying to get eclipse 3.2 on 6.06.  The repository doesn't have 3.2 as far as I can tell.  Is  my only recourse to download and install it from eclipse.org?
[01:29] <the_plumber> anyone know why sound does not work with ubuntu?
[01:29] <At0mic_PC> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/ wow cool
[01:29] <the_plumber> three for three and nothing (two different soundcards)
[01:29] <mcphail> adamonline45: write another script which calls that script with the correct arguments if you must
[01:30] <adamonline45> unop: alright
[01:30] <Flannel> kercyr: correct.  Or to upgrade to edgy
[01:30] <ferret_0567> ...
[01:30] <Jordan_U> variant: Can you boot and change the menu.list or is not being able to boot why you need to get a grub shell?
[01:30] <kercyr> is upgrading to edgy safe?
[01:30] <Bsims> I am having a problem with encoding on usenet, slrn isn't handling latin 1 encodings any ideas, I've already filled a bugreport against it
[01:30] <Flannel> kercyr: why wouldn't it be?
[01:30] <adamonline45> mcphail: That's what I was thinking.  I'll try it out...
[01:30] <kercyr> (and easy?)
[01:30] <Bsims> kercyr: I am running edgy now
[01:30] <adamonline45> thanks you two...
[01:30] <ferret_0567> It could be unsafe...I dunno
[01:30] <variant> Jordan_U: invalid boot sector.. i need a grub shell so i can reinstall grub.. cant seem to get one fromt he netboot ubuntu image
[01:30] <Jordan_U> kercyr: just run: gksu "update-manager -c"
[01:30] <Bsims> kercyr: change your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to edgy and apt get into it
[01:31] <Flannel> kercyr: upgrading is easy, yeah.  Painless unless you've installed software yourself, or some third party repositories
[01:31] <bobbyyu> What's this message: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042
[01:31] <steel_lady> I am here, please help me to open the file!!!
[01:31] <Bsims> any one ever run into encoding problems due to unicode?
[01:31] <unop> steel_lady,  and which file is this? :)
[01:31] <HP_Vue> Hoe do I check what graphic card I have from ubuntu/
[01:31] <spuddogg> Does anyone know if Ubuntu has a built-in equalizer somewhere?  My music is WAAAAY to bassy
[01:31] <kercyr> So...  is there official instructions somewhere about upgrading to edgy?
[01:31] <Flannel> !upgrade | kercyr
[01:31] <ubotu> kercyr: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:31] <unop> spuddogg,  alsamixergui
[01:31] <Jordan_U> kercyr: If you have ever used Automatix there is a good chance the upgrade will fail, which is why Automatix is bad BTW :)
[01:32] <HP_Vue>  Hoe do I check what graphic card I have from ubuntu?
[01:32] <sander_m> Hmmm....  I performed the upgrade according to the website now, but apt says: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. And the kept-back package is cupsys! Grrrr....
[01:32] <Flannel> steel_lady: mysql data files aren't readily readable
[01:32] <unop> HP_Vue,  lspci
[01:32] <Bsims> HP_Vue: lspci
[01:32] <HP_Vue> ?
[01:32] <HP_Vue> In terminal
[01:32] <Jordan_U> HP_Vue: yes
[01:32] <HP_Vue> TYThanks
[01:32] <Bsims> HP_Vue: open a terminal and then do lspci
[01:32] <steel_lady> unop, I want to open the file with the name mysql-bin.000074 anyhow to see characters inside but not to use mysql
[01:33] <Bsims> I am having a problem with encoding on usenet with slrn on ubuntu, it isn't handling latin 1 encodings any ideas, I've already filled a bugreport against it...
[01:33] <musya> HP_Vue: hey
[01:33] <bobbyyu> What's this message? Can't read CTR while initializing i8042
[01:33] <unop> steel_lady,  cat the file at a terminal
[01:33] <Flannel> steel_lady: not really, no.  It would require a lot of knowledge about the file structure.
[01:33] <kercyr> how long does an upgrade take?
[01:33] <unop> steel_lady,  or better use less/more if you think the file is huge
[01:33] <HP_Vue> Hey musya
[01:33] <musya> HP_Vue: sorry about yesturday i forgot the channels name after i restarted, and the screenshot was up anymore
[01:33] <francois> kercyr: to edgy ?
[01:33] <musya> you still on the channel?
[01:33] <HP_Vue> NP musya
[01:33] <kercyr> dapper to edgy.
[01:34] <HP_Vue> Yea, I am in #HPVUE
[01:34] <steel_lady> unop I don't think that the file is huge but I don't have any idea what ayre you talking about. can you give me precize answer?
[01:34] <unop> sander_m,  you could try installing cupsys manually again once done
[01:34] <francois> kercyr: took me like 3hrs, but i donwloaded all of it from the internet, and replaced all the packages one at a time,
[01:34] <spuddogg> unop, thanks, but I need something to control bass, treble etc...is there such a thing?
[01:34] <pbureau> anyone use opera and got adobe flash to work with it ?
[01:34] <unop> steel_lady,  at a terminal -- type this command  - cat /path/to/mysql-bin.000074
[01:34] <Flannel> !opera | pbureau
[01:34] <bobbyyu> Did anyone have the same problem I have: Downloaded more than 600 updates at a time and the computer just frooze?
[01:34] <ubotu> pbureau: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[01:35] <francois> I need help making a folder on my desktop accessible to other users, how do I go about this ???
[01:35] <sander_m> unop: It's installed allright, but kept back because apt thinks there's no such package in the repository. But it didn't delete the one installed.

[01:35] <variant> LjL: don't suppose you know much about pxe booting do you?
[01:35] <unop> spuddogg,  errm, i'm not sure
[01:35] <kercyr> It's shorter than rebuilding gentoo.  :-)
[01:35] <spuddogg> unop, google it is.  thanks man
[01:35] <Bsims> any who... any one else running in to problems due to the fact that ubuntu is unicode by default?
[01:35] <LjL> variant: afraid not
[01:36] <genii> variant What do you want to know about pxe booting?
[01:36] <LjL> Bsims: no... at worst, i run into problems due to the fact that other legacy stuff isn't unicode ;P
[01:36] <variant> genii: how to get a grub prompt via pxe boot
[01:36] <unop> sander_m,  well, hopefully things'll be ok now then :)
[01:36] <francois_> !permissions
[01:36] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:36] <kercyr> Flannel, Jordan_U , francois (and others)...  Vielen dank!
[01:36] <steel_lady> ok unop, thanx!
[01:36] <variant> genii: but i found a grub version that supports pxe so i think i am sorted now :)
[01:36] <bobbyyu> !i8042 | bobbyyu
[01:36] <Bsims> LjL: problem I am running into is its not handling posts in latin 1 properly
[01:36] <sander_m> unop: I'll try a reboot and see what I get
[01:36] <LycanNYC> !ati
[01:36] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:36] <cafuego_> variant: Generally PXE uses not-grub, like say syslinux.
[01:37] <genii> variant I haven't tried to get grub to work that way. I think you would need some binary like pxegrub.0 instead of pxelinux.0
[01:37] <cafuego_> variant: The grub PXE is a local grub that was recompiled to have a 'network boot' option.
[01:37] <cafuego_> variant: ... to the best of my knowledge anyway.
[01:37] <variant> cafuego_: i need to load grub on a remote machine via pxe
[01:37] <LjL> Bsims: "posts"? as in usenet posts?
[01:38] <nn-main> hi
[01:38] <Bsims> LjL: yuppers
[01:38] <Jordan_U> !hi | nn-main
[01:38] <ubotu> nn-main: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:38] <bobbyyu> Where else can I find help on my Ubuntu problems?
[01:38] <genii> variant I'm not sure that can be done sionce usually you are using pxeboot to mount an initrd image or so on
[01:39] <nn-main> thank you ; whats new in this distro of linux?
[01:39] <HP_Vue> What is the termin command to get beryl?
[01:39] <LjL> Bsims, well usenet is a bit complicated i'm afraid, because latin1 (or anything beside ASCII) isn't *supported* in theory, as far as i know -- which is why some insist that only ascii should be used. that means that detecting the right encoding is hard...
[01:39] <Flannel> HP_Vue: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support, thanks.
[01:40] <Bsims> only problem is those damned " marks
[01:40] <Bsims> Eh I'll live with it, just was wondering
[01:40] <LjL> Bsims: i see that in kmail (not tried knode, i don't have it installed) i can choose the encoding to *view* messages... though probably not the one to *send* them in
[01:40] <variant> genii: i found pxegrub.. just trying to find a dl for it though
[01:41] <SkyCon> can anyone recomend a tool for ripping where i can pop a CD in, it will grab the track info from the net, rip the songs to MP3s, write the ID3 tags and RePlay Gain Tags?
[01:41] <musya> anybody have any links to more repos?
[01:41] <LjL> Bsims, i guess default encoding of C means that, in the end, programs will just attempt to use latin1
[01:41] <variant> Bsims: try aterm
[01:41] <Bsims> LjL: Indeed, that is the case... Eh not a biggy
[01:42] <Bsims> variant: hrm does it do tabs?
[01:42] <genii> variant I'm just curious as to why you want to have grub loading over pxe
[01:42] <variant> Bsims: there is an aterm mod that does
[01:42] <variant> genii: so i can reinstall grub on the remote machine
[01:43] <variant> genii: due to a corrupt boot sector
[01:43] <cables> Is there any way to get Nautilus to not show certain moutned drives on the desktop?
[01:43] <variant> I suppose i could pxe book a small live cd or soemting
[01:43] <Bsims> variant: that would be materm or mrxvt... non unicode unless my google-fu is weak
[01:44] <variant> Bsims: dunno then.. if your using fluxbox you can make tabs for any window
[01:44] <genii> variant Just use a regular netboot pxe to a loop-mounted livecd image.then chroot to the old / and do the old grub install with root as where your /boot is

[01:47] <Nomad_O_North> I am totally new to this channel, and have some questions regarding it.
[01:47] <Bsims> I used it to install libgpod-common from feisty to get my ipod video to work
[01:47] <sander_m> unop, Jordan_U: Hi, I'm back after a reboot. The boot was exactly how it's always been as was everything else afterwards, so no upstart?
[01:48] <Flannel> !ask | Nomad_O_North
[01:48] <ubotu> Nomad_O_North: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:48] <QRZ> Bsims: Thanks again.  :-)
[01:48] <Nomad_O_North> Firstly: Why is no-one here voiced?
[01:48] <Jordan_U> sander_m: It should be pretty transparent to the user, other than a possible speed increase
[01:48] <Flannel> Nomad_O_North: because no one needs to be.
[01:48] <cdehaan> Hello! How do I configure X so that more resolutions are available (I.e. I have an nvidia card with a DVI monitor supporting 1680x1050... but all I see in the res. tool are up to 1024x768)
[01:48] <fatbrain> anyone running pulseaudio with flashplayer9?
[01:48] <Flannel> !fixres | cdehaan
[01:48] <ubotu> cdehaan: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:48] <LjL> Nomad_O_North: this channel is for support questions, please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-ops if you have questions about the channel itself ;)
[01:48] <unop> sander_m,  well, check what you have installed -- upstart or sysvinit -- dpkg -l | egrep -i "upstart|init"
[01:49] <Jordan_U> cdehaan: Have you installed the drivers for your card?
[01:49] <cdehaan> Jordan_U: the driver is listed as nv... am I wrong in assuming that's the nvidia driver?
[01:49] <unop> Jordan_U,  transparent except for a missing /etc/inittab .. which everyone seems to miss :)
[01:49] <Nomad_O_North> So, this channel doesn't use a system such as "op/half-op/administrator/etc."?
[01:49] <unop> Nomad_O_North,  sure it does
[01:50] <LjL> as i was saying...
[01:50] <Flannel> Nomad_O_North: but that's hardly important.  Do you have ubuntu related questions?
[01:50] <Jordan_U> cdehaan: Yes, that is the reverse engineered one that is open source, the official nvidia driver is "nvidia"
[01:50] <Jordan_U> !nvidia | cdehaan
[01:50] <ubotu> cdehaan: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:50] <ferret_0567> !evolution

[01:51] <cdehaan> Jordan_U: Ok, so that leads to another question... how do I configure wireless? I have a card that is detected by Ubuntu, but it only gives me the option of WEP in "Networking"
[01:51] <sander_m> unop: It's upstart :-) But apt still thinks there's no cupsys in the repro and aptitude install -f still scares me
[01:51] <Nomad_O_North> Yes. I figured I might as well ask them here, since the topic I created takes FOREVER to garner a reply...
[01:52] <Nomad_O_North> As in DAYS...
[01:52] <sander_m> unop: When aptitude says: "Keep the following packages at their current version:", does that mean those packages are already at the latest version? Or are they being kept back?
[01:52] <ferret_0567> I think you should use NetworkManager, not sure though, as I do not have my own wireless network card for my laptop yet.
[01:52] <Nomad_O_North> Anywho...
[01:52] <Jordan_U> cdehaan: You need to install wpasupplicant and you will probably like network-manager-gnome for dealing with wireless networks, it has a much better GUI IMHO
[01:52] <donovan> can anyone suggest some possible causes why mozilla firefox might suddenly quit after clicking on a link?
[01:52] <cdehaan> Jordan_U: is any of this available on the Ubuntu CD?
[01:53] <cables> cdehaan, network-manager-gnome is cool, but you should also get something called pam-keyring to unlock your wi-fi when you log in rather than having to put in a password every time you connect to wi-fi.
[01:53] <timtrimble> my friend (sasukechaos) is having trouble getting vlc via apt-get on a fresh install of 6.10, can anyone help me/him out?  (he's here too)
[01:53] <ferret_0567> Can I modify NetworkManager to not connect to any wireless network automatically?
[01:53] <Jordan_U> cdehaan: wpasupplicant might be, but network-manager-gnome is not, can you connect wired?
[01:53] <cables> Is there any way to have drives not show up on the desktop?
[01:53] <ferret_0567> Yes
[01:53] <cables> !univers | timtrimble

[01:54] <ubuntuu> hi guys, in problems configuring ubuntu to authenticate against ldap servers. I got problem with nssswitch.conf (after configuring to use ldap the system crashes at boot)
[01:54] <Jordan_U> cdehaan: Yes, but they are going to be part of the default install in the next version of Ubuntu
[01:55] <Bsims> it kicks arse... its a console based system stat app
[01:55] <cables> Bsims, no... but I found how to hide all volumes through Gconf-editor... but now ALL drives dissapear. I only wanted 2 to be hidden... well whatever.
[01:55] <Jordan_U> timtrimble: what error is he getting?
[01:55] <cdehaan> Jordan_U: Cool. I'm normally a Fedora user, and they are included, but Fedora is a DVD whereas Ubuntu is a CD. Thanks for your help!
[01:55] <cables> Bsims, why would I need that?
[01:55] <ferret_0567> go into gconf-editor and browse into: "/apps/nautilus/desktop" and in there, there will be a "volumes_visible" key near the bottom. Uncheck it
[01:55] <Nomad_O_North> I bought an external serial modem after being told that all external serial modems work with Linux. But this one doesn't seem to work automagically. I configured it throughn the "Networking" interface. But when I smacked a modem monitor down on my pannel and right-clicked it, "activate" and "Deactivate" are both greyed out. And I am quite sure that I configured the port and ISP correctly. Why is this occuring?
[01:55] <Bsims> cables: I use it daily... shows the load, uptime, space avalaible etc
[01:56] <Nomad_O_North> *through
[01:56] <cables> ferret_0567, thanks, but I already found that. The problem is, I only want to hide two of my volumes.
[01:56] <ferret_0567> oh
[01:56] <ferret_0567> I dunno then
[01:56] <cables> thanks anyway
[01:56] <RxDx> "mount -t ........" what does "-t" means?

[01:57] <cables> LjL, I learn new things about ubotu every day :) thanks for inadvertently introducing me to the additional message bit.
[01:57] <Nomad_O_North> It says "No special drivers are needed"...
[01:58] <ubuntuu> RxDx why dont you download it using linux?
[01:58] <Nomad_O_North> And I do NOT want to have to use the CLI every time I want to hop on the net.
[01:58] <RxDx> ubuntuu, cuz i lost one cd using the default ubuntu record cd
[01:58] <RxDx> =/
[01:59] <RxDx> them... im using nero
[01:59] <sander_m> unop: Thanks for the help so far. I'm off to bed now. It's 2 AM here and i need to work tomorrow
[01:59] <cables> Nomad_O_North, it's possible to make a script to automate it
[01:59] <ferret_0567> I don't want network-manager to connect to wireless networks automatically unless a wireless network has a name of linksys and is encrypted. How can I do this so that I will not have to ask when I get my wireless network card?
[01:59] <LjL> Nomad_O_North: indeed, they shouldn't be. but not being familiar with the GNOME modem utilities, i'd suggest you try installing "minicom" and making sure the modem responds to commands like "ATZ" and such
[01:59] <Bsims> If anyone cares/wants it I have a nice script for backing up to a usb device here http://home.insightbb.com/~bmsims1/Scripts/rdiffbackup.sh

[02:00] <genii> Yes, minicom is very useful
[02:00] <ismail> hi guys im having a problem mounting my   fat32 partition in ubuntu
[02:00] <ismail> any one can help?
[02:00] <Bsims> I know it works because I had a disc failure saturday
[02:00] <coffee-mug> what's the process that keeps restarting it?
[02:00] <LjL> !ask
[02:00] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:00] <cables> ferret_0567, it's not promiscuous... you need to select the network first. However, there's one drawback: You need to type a password each time to unlock the "vault" of wireless network encryption keys. There's a way to fix that though, if you need it google "pam-keyring"
[02:00] <Bsims> ismail: what is the error it gives
[02:00] <Nomad_O_North> I have to install aditional sofdtware? The default isn't enough?
[02:00] <Nomad_O_North> ...
[02:00] <RxDx> ubuntuu, is k3b better than ubuntu default recorder?
[02:01] <Bsims> RxDx: I like it better, to the extent that I can't wait for QT4 to use it on winders
[02:01] <cables> RxDx, it's good... but they're probably using the same internal libraries to do the work.
[02:01] <LjL> Nomad_O_North, i'm just giving you troubleshooting suggestions. all you're saying is basically "the modem doesn't work", and i can't make much of that. consider also that i last used a modem... well, years ago, and same probably goes for most people (which is why the DialupModemHowto is kind of imperfect, by the way)
[02:01] <ubuntuu> [RxDx] : well, I dont like to speak like that... some peolpe think it is, I like, that`s all...
[02:01] <donovan> every time i enable my NTFS partition to store files on it, i have to specify a different path. Each time I try to remount with the same path...it won't work. Help! (btw im still on Breezy.)
[02:01] <ismail> Bsims, mount: can't find /dev/hda4 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:01] <ismail> .. when i mount i typed mount dev/hda4
[02:01] <Secion8> Can explain some odd behavior? I have Ati big desktop setup here. My main lcd is my laptop screen and the second is an 32" polaroid lcd,
[02:02] <Nomad_O_North> OK...
[02:02] <Nomad_O_North> *sigh*
[02:02] <Bsims> ismail: Ah /msg me the contents of /etc/fstab will ya?
[02:02] <RxDx> sure.. thanks dudes :)
[02:02] <Nomad_O_North> How do I install minicom?
[02:02] <marshall> does openoffice.org Writer come with clipart?
[02:02] <ismail> k
[02:02] <Secion8> The problem is that I went into  System>Preferences>Screen Resolution and changed the res to 1024x768 and all of a sudden my screen went into clone mode.
[02:02] <ubuntuu> is anybody using ubuntu with ldap???
[02:02] <Secion8> What is up with that?
[02:02] <LjL> Nomad_O_North: sudo apt-get install minicom. if you have some other kind of connection. if you don't, well... it'll be kind of harder.
[02:02] <not_a_k> is it possible to update the list of groups I belong to without logging out?
[02:02] <cables> marshall, no. There's an extra package for that that's easy to install, though. Let me get the name.
[02:02] <Bsims> does it show up in places > media?
[02:03] <marshall> cables: ok, thanks
[02:03] <ferret_0567> So, I will have to type my password to get into my own wireless network? That's kind of silly...Windows XP does have that. I don't think Windows is good for anything much though, but I know it will remember a wireless networks password.
[02:03] <Nomad_O_North> I have no other connection. That WAS supposed to be my connection...
[02:03] <Nomad_O_North> So, what shall I do?
[02:04] <cables> ferret_0567, it's just a limitation in Keyring, which is the program used for storing keys. pam-keyring automates the process when you log in.
[02:04] <Thuggles> so uhh.. when you install a package, where is it installed to?
[02:04] <cables> marshall, "sudo aptitude install openclipart-openoffice.org" will install the clipart library.
[02:04] <Bsims> Thuggles: a copy is kept in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[02:04] <At0mic_PC> Into the megahurtz
[02:04] <cables> Thuggles, it depends on the package
[02:04] <Bsims> Thuggles: the rest is moved into the filesystem

[02:05] <Bsims> if you mean your own configs try .xchat
[02:05] <Math^> hello, how can I reload my new truetype fonts?
[02:05] <cables> marshall, no prob
[02:06] <ferret_0567> Is there a good guide to making a GTK theme anywhere on the net'?
[02:06] <genii> wist_ Yes, that will tell you the specific one that is bad
[02:06] <Nomad_O_North> LjL?
[02:06] <LjL> Nomad_O_North, try the pppconfig or vwdial instructions...
[02:06] <Bsims> Thuggles: the . means its hidden
[02:06] <Nomad_O_North> OK.
[02:06] <comicinker> had anybody experienced firewire problems?
[02:06] <cables> Thuggles, Bsims means ~/.xchat
[02:06] <wist_> genii: i mean, 1 error is enough to assume theres trouble with the hardware, right ?
[02:06] <Math^> someone know how to reload fonts...?
[02:06] <comicinker> especially with firewire harddiscs?
[02:06] <Bsims> cables: true though most terms open by default in one's home directory
[02:07] <Bsims> comicinker: dunno, I only have used usb ones
[02:07] <At0mic_PC> Nomad_O_North: Dialup?
[02:07] <Nomad_O_North> Yep.
[02:07] <genii> wist_ Yes. Though it may not always be that the ram is actually bad for instance, but perhaps set wrongly in bios (too fast settings for instance)
[02:07] <gpled> need to install video driver.  driver says i can not have x window running.  how to i stop xwindow ?
[02:07] <donovan> every time i enable my NTFS partition to store files on it, i have to specify a different path. Each time I try to remount with the same path...it won't work. Help! (btw im still on Breezy.)
[02:07] <At0mic_PC> WHat modem Nomad_O_North
[02:07] <wist_> genii: k i'll test it all out...
[02:07] <wist_> tks
[02:08] <comicinker> my pc cannot recognice my firewire, harddisc, if I connect it via usb it works
[02:08] <genii> wist_ np
[02:08] <comicinker> but I only have USB 1.1
[02:08] <Nomad_O_North> And I thought my troubles would all mystically dissappear after I shelled out $40 for a hardware serial modem...
[02:08] <ubuntuu> had anybody experienced problems with nsswitch.conf and ldap?
[02:08] <Thuggles> thanks, that helped
[02:08] <Bsims> Nomad_O_North: I get my stuff from staples, it has a 14 day no question return policy
[02:08] <Nomad_O_North> Diamond Supramax.
[02:09] <zarattustra> ke pedo?
[02:09] <At0mic_PC> Nomad_O_North: I'm using a USR Performance Pro modem for dialup.
[02:09] <Bsims> Nomad_O_North: what version ya running?
[02:09] <At0mic_PC> Works perfectly and should at 90 bucks.
[02:09] <Nomad_O_North> Edgy Eft.
[02:09] <Bsims> Nomad_O_North: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-11894.html
[02:10] <At0mic_PC> Has worked with every distro I've tried.
[02:10] <zarattustra> 5.06
[02:10] <At0mic_PC> The USR winmodems are not supported in linux.
[02:10] <White_Lightning> ok, got my pc up and running well, is there a way to get beryl to run on both monitors?
[02:11] <Nomad_O_North> Bsims: that's USB. I have serial just to prevent having to do that very thing.
[02:11] <At0mic_PC> Oh and the performance pro is internal pci.
[02:11] <gpled> anyone?
[02:11] <mhik1> how to set environment setting permanently?
[02:11] <At0mic_PC> Nomad_O_North: You've tried wvdialconf?
[02:11] <pwuertz> could someone please help me? there is a java applet I want to show offline... but I cant manage to download the applet :(
[02:11] <pwuertz> http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/applets/bec.html
[02:12] <gpled> how do i turn off xwindow?
[02:12] <pwuertz> could someone have a look at this?
[02:12] <Nomad_O_North> No, not yet.
[02:12] <Nomad_O_North> But isn't that a CLI dialer?
[02:12] <bobbyyu> How do I go to runlevel 3 using GRUB?
[02:12] <Pntkl> dunno
[02:12] <Math^> there's no way to reload my fonts? I have to restart X everytime to load the new fonts?
[02:12] <At0mic_PC> Yes,
[02:12] <jrib> mhiku: put it in the proper file.  What exactly are you trying to set?
[02:13] <At0mic_PC> Nomad_O_North: gnome-ppp has a wrapper for it.
[02:13] <jrib> Math^: fc-cache
[02:13] <Nomad_O_North> Huh?
[02:13] <Nomad_O_North> "Wrapper"?
[02:13] <At0mic_PC> GUI that just calls stuff for wvdial.
[02:13] <jeffreyb> Linux Mint 2.2 BETA is sweet!
[02:13] <jrib> bobbyyu: you realize that in ubuntu runlevel 2 is default and 3 is the same exact thing?
[02:13] <Math^> jrib: doesnt work
[02:14] <jrib> Math^: did you restart the application?
[02:14] <Math^> yep
[02:14] <At0mic_PC> And if you want to use KPPP then wvdialconf will at least tell you what your modem name is.
[02:14] <jrib> Math^: how are you installing the fonts?
[02:14] <Math^> but maybe I have to put in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ ?
[02:14] <Math^> and not in my home-dir ~/.fonts ?
[02:14] <LycanNYC> !ati
[02:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:14] <Bsims> Math^: you added a new font right?
[02:14] <Math^> Bsims: yep
[02:14] <LycanNYC> jeffreyb, heck yea its hot.. that menu shit is awesome
[02:15] <Bsims> sudo fc-cache -fv
[02:15] <Math^> Bsims: ok
[02:15] <Bsims> it will rebuild the font cache
[02:15] <jeffreyb> LycanNYC: I think so
[02:15] <FantasticFoo> what's the package that i need to install to be able to build and install programs from source?
[02:15] <jrib> FantasticFoo: build-essential
[02:15] <FantasticFoo> ubuntu-developer-package or something like that?
[02:15] <bobbyyu> I need to solve my Ubuntu troubles
[02:15] <FantasticFoo> jrib: oh thanks
[02:15] <bobbyyu> Is Ubuntu still at 6.10?
[02:16] <LycanNYC> jeffreyb, me 2.. but its beta still and anytime I install 3d drivers i have tearing .. LM 2.1 is best right now the dev is fixing the bugs :)
[02:16] <Bsims> bobbyyu: what is the problem exactly... ie what are you trying to do
[02:16] <Math^> Bsims: still not working, lol :P
[02:16] <jrib> bobbyyu: yes
[02:16] <Aggrav8d> Hello!  How's everybody doing?  Good?  I hope so!
[02:16] <HP_Vue> What do I do when it says "The packages in the repository are signed with a gpg signature so you can verify that they are valid. To add the gpg key to your keychain, use Synaptic / Adept or invoke the following command:"
[02:16] <Bsims> Math^: hrm where did you install the font
[02:16] <jeffreyb> lycanNYC: The fonts are great too.
[02:16] <bobbyyu> I saw a bunch of updates being available
[02:16] <Math^> Bsims: install? I just put the fonts in .fonts/
[02:16] <LycanNYC> jeffreyb, lol
[02:16] <LycanNYC> im on Feisty now
[02:16] <ryanakca> can someone please help me debug my latex doc? It's a proposal I have to hand to my principal in the morning... but... I can't seem to get the the list to work in LaTeX...
[02:16] <Math^> Bsims: I had to make the dir first
[02:16] <LycanNYC> having horrors with ATI X1600 PRO card
[02:17] <jrib> ryanakca: pastebin it
[02:17] <Bsims> bobbyyu: Heh same release just new packages
[02:17] <jeffreyb> lycanNYC: I'm running it hard to help beta test it.. Nvidia video... so far no problems.
[02:17] <Bsims> Math^: Ah I used /usr/local/share/fonts/
[02:17] <Aggrav8d> I've just followed the steps in the server guide for 6.10 to set up https and when i try it now i get "...has sent an incorrect or unexpected message.  Error code: -12263".  Anyone know what that's about?
[02:17] <LycanNYC> jeffreyb, ur good cuz u got nvidia .. thats safe in linux
[02:17] <Math^> Bsims: yes, I did that also b4 :)
[02:17] <LycanNYC> well bbl
[02:17] <ryanakca> jrib: http://ryanak.ca/~ryan/prop.tex
[02:17] <jeffreyb> LycanNYC: How does Feisty look compared to Mint?
[02:17] <Nomad_O_North> Okeydokey...
[02:17] <Math^> Bsims: but well... if i can use .fonts/ ...
[02:17] <ryanakca> jrib: /msg?

[02:19] <Nomad_O_North> Windows XP.
[02:19] <uPromethem> Hello, I am running Edgy 64 on an AMD 64, and I'm having trouble installing the latest version of GTK. Before I begin, is there any way to get a binary package for GTK somewhere that includes the dependancies glib, pango, cairo, and atk?
[02:19] <At0mic_PC> Look the default has the wvdial programs...
[02:19] <At0mic_PC> You just go in and type wvdialconf
[02:19] <Nomad_O_North> OK...I'll check that out...
[02:19] <At0mic_PC> It'll spit out some stuff
[02:19] <Aggrav8d> I've just followed the steps in the server guide for 6.10 to set up https and when i try it now i get "...has sent an incorrect or unexpected message.  Error code: -12263".  Anyone know what that's about?
[02:19] <At0mic_PC> Then you do sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf
[02:20] <At0mic_PC> You'll see ; Phone=
[02:20] <At0mic_PC> Remove the ;
[02:20] <At0mic_PC> Add your info
[02:20] <At0mic_PC> then wvdial
[02:20] <Loc-Nar> SeaMonkey rocks. Ubuntu is pretty cool too.
[02:20] <At0mic_PC> Save wvdial.conf first hehe
[02:20] <At0mic_PC> Then run wvdial
[02:21] <Math^> Bsims: even when putting the new fonts in to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-somedir/ it will not load, even when I tried sudo fc-cache -fv ://
[02:21] <At0mic_PC> Once you're online just do sudo apt-get update
[02:21] <Bsims> hrm I dunno then... that trick usually works for me
[02:21] <At0mic_PC> then sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp
[02:21] <Math^> hmm
[02:21] <DSpair> OK gang, I hate to admit it, but I am stumped...
[02:21] <Math^> Bsims: gonna reload X then...
[02:22] <Bsims> ok Math^
[02:22] <DSpair> Can anyone here tell me why my Feisty install on one laptop NetworkManager works great (ala SuSE stylee) and on another laptop is won't?
[02:22] <Data_> chipset
[02:22] <DSpair> I cannot for the life of me figure out what the difference in the two is.
[02:22] <Math^> Bsims: still not working
[02:23] <DSpair> Data_: Nope, same chipset.
[02:23] <Dube> does anyone know if its at all possible to mount a HD from a live cd?
[02:23] <Sherl> anayone use macbook here
[02:23] <DSpair> Dube: Yes, it is possible.
[02:23] <Data_> are you sure?
[02:23] <bobbyyu> Is there a boot CD that can fix my Ubuntu problems?
[02:23] <Bsims> Math^: dunno man... ya did what I would try
[02:23] <DSpair> Data_: I do know how to use 'lspci'...
[02:23] <Math^> Bsims: uhu... strange
[02:23] <Bsims> what Math^
[02:23] <x_or> I am trying to build my own repository but keep getting this message:  "Failed to fetch http://apt.corp.boxpopuli.com/apt/binary/Release  Unable to find expected entry  Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)"
[02:23] <Math^> Bsims: ah, maybe the permissions
[02:23] <jvai> hey uall, sorry for the rudeness
[02:23] <uPromethem> Hello, I am running Edgy 64 on an AMD 64, and I'm having trouble installing the latest version of GTK. Before I begin, is there any way to get a binary package for GTK somewhere that includes the dependancies glib, pango, cairo, and atk?
[02:23] <Data_> open terminal and type lspci
[02:24] <x_or> I thought I had generated the proper Release file using apt-ftparchive but obviously not.  Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:24] <Bsims> or sudo
[02:25] <pmr_> Hello Y'all, Can someone help me connect to my windows computer?
[02:25] <Bsims> pmr_: in what way? I use vnc
[02:25] <Dube> Is it possible to mount a HD using a live cd?
[02:25] <Bsims> Dube: yeah it usually is
[02:25] <Kyoui> I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 6.10 on my PC, when I pick to install or run from CD it goes to the splash screen and doesn't proceed further, I'm not sure what's going on, and idea's?
[02:25] <pmr_> Bsims: Need to connect to a share.
[02:26] <jackson3246> hi. I'm trying to install stun (sudo aptitude install stun) and it returns the following error: "No Primary IP given. Exiting. invoke-rc.d: initscript stun, action "start" failed." anybody know how to fix this?
[02:26] <Dube> Bsims: it says that it is mounted but i cant change the permissions and/or access it
[02:26] <Bsims> pmr_: Ah you need to set up samba, but beyond that I dunno
[02:26] <spasticteapot> Does anyone here have any Webmin or Samba experience?
[02:26] <x_or> Dube:  once you are running, just mount it:  mkdir cd; mount /dev/hdc cd
[02:26] <spasticteapot> Samba is giving me a headache.
[02:26] <deadlyallance470> how do you install automatix
[02:26] <pmr_> Bsims: I can select the computer from the network servers list but it will not accept my credentials. I am 100% sure i got them right.
[02:26] <Bsims> Dube: is it mounted as root?
[02:26] <x_or> Anyone here familiar with apt-ftparchive?
[02:26] <LjL> !automatix > deadlyallance470    (deadlyallance470, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:26] <Dube> Bsims: how would i mount it as a root?
[02:27] <Bsims> pmr_: Hrm I dunno, I've not used samba
[02:27] <rbil> pmr_: all u need is smbclient installed on Linux box to connect to Windows shares
[02:27] <Bsims> Dube: who does it say in permissons owns the directory
[02:27] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to set up Samba?
[02:27] <spasticteapot> I'm at a loss.
[02:27] <Data_> spasticteapot try swat
[02:27] <spasticteapot> Webmin seems not to work right.
[02:27] <spasticteapot> SWAT?
[02:27] <spasticteapot> Is that Ubuntu-compatible?
[02:27] <pmr_> I think samba is installed by default on ubuntu 6.10 edgy. Am I wrong?
[02:27] <spasticteapot> I'm using Xubuntu Edgy.
[02:27] <Dube> Bsims: owner, even with sudo it doesnt let me change perms
[02:27] <Data_> yes you are
[02:27] <spasticteapot> Ubuntu runs like carp.
[02:28] <Bsims> Dube: I dunno
[02:28] <Kyoui> carp don't run, they swim
[02:28] <Dube> Bsims lol thanks neways
[02:28] <yommb> spastic :what exactly is the problem ?
[02:28] <Bsims> spasticteapot: beats me it runs well enough here
[02:28] <At0mic_PC> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[02:28] <rbil> pmr_: don't know? check if it's running .... ps ax|grep samba
[02:28] <spasticteapot> I'm trying to get a couple windows PCs (fixed IP addresses) to connect to a shared folder on a Linux machine.
[02:28] <spasticteapot> I want to be able to turn off X-windows once I get it set up.
[02:29] <yommb> ok !
[02:29] <spasticteapot> I need some sort of "network password" though, and I don't know wha tit is.
[02:29] <LjL> spasticteapot: you need to use the smbpasswd command
[02:29] <LjL> !samba > spasticteapot    (spasticteapot, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:29] <Bsims> Hey what is the chan for ubuntu eye candy discussions
[02:29] <yommb> spastic u need to set a samba password for your user ( if your samba security is set to user ) using smbpasswd !
[02:29] <LjL> !xgl > bsims    (bsims, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:30] <Data_> users must be same on win$ and Linux computers; password too
[02:30] <jackson3246> hi. I'm trying to install stun (sudo aptitude install stun) and it returns the following error: "No Primary IP given. Exiting. invoke-rc.d: initscript stun, action "start" failed." anybody know how to fix this?
[02:30] <spasticteapot> One sec...must reinflate innertube.
[02:30] <Math^> Bsims: I see where the problem is
[02:30] <Math^> Bsims: its the program that would not load the fonts
[02:30] <Bsims> LOL welcome to unix
[02:30] <rbil> pmr_: sorry that should be:   ps ax|grep smbd
[02:30] <cchance> Hey try a chew on this :D!! How do i block an email address from sending e-mail to users on my network? I do not own the e-mail server that the users sends it to. Can i do filtering for "from" on the mail port?
[02:30] <Math^> :)
[02:30] <yommb> spastic : u can set your security to guest , so it win't ask for a pass , mind you this is not too secure ...
[02:30] <Data_> jackson3246 try sudo apt-get install stun
[02:30] <Aggrav8d> i keep geting error code -12263 when I try to use apache+ssl.  I turned on mod ssl, I listen on port 443, I modified my virtual host, and I ran apache2-ssl-certificate.  what did i do wrong?
[02:31] <yommb> *won't
[02:31] <spasticteapot> Sorry... smbpasswd! is the command?
[02:31] <Math^> Bsims: Scribus-lg will not load the new fonts, but Scribus will :/
[02:31] <Math^> strange
[02:31] <yommb> !smbpasswd
[02:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smbpasswd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:31] <Bsims> Math^: Heh noted so I know to avoid that package
[02:31] <jackson3246> Data_: same error
[02:31] <spasticteapot> Oh.
[02:31] <cchance> !mailfilter
[02:31] <ubotu> mailfilter: A program that filters your incoming e-mail to help remove spam. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.2-2 (edgy), package size 181 kB, installed size 540 kB
[02:32] <spasticteapot> smbpasswd without any exclimation points, then?
[02:32] <cchance> Ok now how do i incorperate that to over lan use
[02:32] <yommb> spastic : u set it like this : sudo smbpasswd yourusername
[02:32] <spasticteapot> Ah.
[02:32] <Math^> Bsims: maybe I can set it up in the program it self
[02:32] <pmr_> rbil: I got -  6259 pts/0    R+     0:00 grep smbd
[02:32] <mike01> i think something is seriously messed up with my sound
[02:32] <sleepy723> Anyone know how to fix my menus? Some menus appear white and are unreadable
[02:32] <rbil> pmr_: then samba isn't running and probably not installed
[02:32] <mike01> sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
[02:32] <ferret_0567> I am running 6.10, so do I have to still use pam-keyring if I want to not have to type my password every time in network-manager?
[02:33] <spasticteapot> It says "failed to find entry for user xxxx"
[02:33] <mike01> and right now i cant hear any system sounds, and xmms says its misconfigured
[02:33] <spasticteapot> Which is odd, considering that I'm logged in as user xxxx.
[02:33] <mike01> only sounds that work is gaim
[02:33] <rbil> pmr_: you only need samba if you're going to setup windoze shares on a Linux box. If you want to access existing shares on Windows boxes, smbclient is all u need on Linux end
[02:33] <jackson3246> hi. I'm trying to install stun (sudo aptitude install stun) and it returns the following error: "No Primary IP given. Exiting. invoke-rc.d: initscript stun, action "start" failed." anybody know how to fix this?
[02:33] <cchance> Ok nvr mind i guess no one knows. I think ive got a prog
[02:33] <Math^> Bsims: Im wrong... an other font Ive installed in to the fonts-dir will load
[02:33] <mike01> is there a way to change the default sound device?
[02:33] <yommb> spastic : how did you set up your shares on the ubuntu box ?
[02:33] <Math^> Bsims: but the new fonts not
[02:33] <ferret_0567> If I do have to use it, then do I just have to run "sudo aptitude install pam-keyring" or something else?
[02:34] <deadlyallance470> whats the name of the next ubuntu release
[02:34] <devilsadvocate> deadlyallance470, fiesty
[02:34] <Math^> Bsims: so its still something with the fonts self
[02:34] <spasticteapot> yommb: I used webmin.
[02:34] <Dube> Hey, when i try to change perms on my harddrive it says "Read-only file system", any ideas why?
[02:34] <devilsadvocate> deadlyallance470, fiesty fawn
[02:34] <Bsims> I dunno man... I really don't
[02:34] <deadlyallance470> fiesty what
[02:34] <spasticteapot> I have noo idea what I'm doing, of course.
[02:34] <pmr_> rbil: Yes, I only want to access the windows share. It is my media server and I need the video off of it.
[02:34] <deadlyallance470> cool
[02:34] <yommb> spas : it works here ...
[02:34] <devilsadvocate> Dube, is it ntfs?
[02:34] <spasticteapot> deadlyallance470: Feisty is the next distro of linux.
[02:34] <Math^> lol
[02:34] <mike01> anyone know how to make my sound work again?
[02:34] <deadlyallance470> will fiesty fawn have support for automatix
[02:34] <rbil> pmr_: sudo apt-get install smbclient
[02:34] <spasticteapot> yommb: How do I create a user for Samba?
[02:34] <LjL> deadlyallance470: no
[02:34] <mike01> hmmm tv card is broken too
[02:34] <devilsadvocate> spasticteapot, its the next distro of *ubuntu
[02:35] <deadlyallance470> :( why not
[02:35] <spasticteapot> I know what Feisty Fawn is.
[02:35] <Loc-Nar> Any hope for beryl with my 9800pro? how about compiz instead?
[02:35] <LjL> !automatix
[02:35] <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
[02:35] <LjL> because of this.
[02:35] <musya> does anyone know of a good web developer, like dreamweaver?
[02:35] <rbil> pmr_: then sniff the Windows shares out from Places ... Connect to Server
[02:35] <spasticteapot> Durr...sorry...it's just ubuntu.
[02:35] <spasticteapot> Brain is dead.
[02:35] <deadlyallance470> but it does work fine now that the bugs are out of it
[02:35] <spasticteapot> I need more caffiene.

[02:36] <Dube> Hey when i try to change perms on my hard drive from a live cd, it says Read-only file system and doesnt change perms, any ideas?

[02:36] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:36] <ferret_0567> Should I use the instructions on this page to use pam-keyring with NetworkManager so that I don't have to type my password everytime I want to connect to a wireless network?: http://frommars.org/2006/10/edgy-and-pam-keyring.html
[02:36] <ubotu> A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant
[02:36] <spasticteapot> yommb: No, I'm not.
[02:36] <LjL> !html > musya    (musya, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:36] <spasticteapot> We'll call the user "Ben".
[02:36] <pmr_> rbil: I try that and it rejects my credentials. If I go to places>Network Server, I see the computer But will not take my credentials. Any ideas?
[02:37] <Kyoui> Could anyone help me? I am trying to install 6.10 and after I click run or install from disc it goes to the splash screen and just stops, any idea's?
[02:37] <LjL> !install > Kyoui    (Kyoui, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:37] <spasticteapot> yommb: I enter "sudo smbpasswd ben" and then the new password twice, and it says "failed to find entry for user ben".
[02:37] <rbil> pmr_: u need to login to Windows share using an existing username/password on the Windows box
[02:37] <LjL> Kyoui: try noapic or acpi=off
[02:37] <spasticteapot> It makes me want to bite things.
[02:37] <FantasticFoo> i was trying to build a program from source, and it told me that "X wasn't found" and that i need the X development libraries.
[02:37] <Dube> arg stupid hard drive :/
[02:37] <FantasticFoo> anyone know what ubuntu package?
[02:37] <cchance> !razor
[02:37] <ubotu> razor: spam-catcher using a collaborative filtering network. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.810-2 (edgy), package size 114 kB, installed size 520 kB
[02:37] <spasticteapot> yommb: I sent you a PM.
[02:38] <spasticteapot> I'm part of a student robotics group, and we REALLY need this to work.
[02:38] <yommb> spas , then look up how to add yourself as a samba user mb , but as I said  iNEVER had to add myself as a samba user ...
[02:38] <cchance> So !razor will not filter network mail?
[02:38] <spasticteapot> Moving around source code is frustrating.
[02:38] <pmr_> rbil: yes that is what I enter when asked.
[02:38] <yommb> spas my pm isnt working
[02:38] <rbil> pmr_: do you have simple file sharing setup on Windows box?
[02:39] <ferret_0567> Does Evolution have pretty much the same compatibility's as Mozilla Thunderbird plus more?
[02:39] <pmr_> No, I unchecked that so i could set specific permissions. Is that necessary for linux to access the files?
[02:39] <psychofreake> ferret_0567, it is a PIM
[02:40] <psychofreake> ferret_0567, mozilla thunderbird is a mail client
[02:40] <spasticteapot> Awright...I think I got it!
[02:40] <spasticteapot> Woot!
[02:40] <rbil> pmr_: I believe so. I use samba here, so it controls authentication on the workgroup.
[02:40] <Dube> is there something else then mounting a hard drive to use a hard drive with a live cd?
[02:40] <pmr_> rbil: Will try that. thanx for the help.
[02:40] <AzMoo> Dube, nope.
[02:40] <Dube> :/ then my comp is stupid lol
[02:41] <Aaron> Hello.  I am trying to checkout the newest SVN code from ZSNES's Bounty Source code repository.  The latest package that is hosted on the official Ubuntu package repository is 1.3.2-3...
[02:41] <AzMoo> Dube, what's the issue?
[02:41] <variant> Dube: what do you mean?
[02:41] <Aaron> I get the following output from the terminal whenever I try to checkout:
[02:41] <Dube> Well when i try to open my harddrive it says i dont have permission
[02:41] <Aaron> aaron@Aarons-Beast:~/src/emulators$ svn co https://svn.bountysource.com/zsnes/trunk/ zsnes
[02:41] <Aaron> svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'; please get a newer Subversion client
[02:41] <Dube> when i try to change permission it says Read-only file system
[02:41] <variant> Dube: use sudo mount partitionhere mountpointhere
[02:41] <variant> Dube: yeah, if it's ntfs its moutned read only
[02:41] <ferret_0567> Well, Evolution has E-Mail capability's. Does Evolution have pretty much the same E-Mail features as Mozilla Thunderbird does?
[02:42] <Aaron> Should I post this in the Ubuntu bug report repository... ?
[02:42] <variant> Dube: see !fuse or !ntfs-ng
[02:42] <yommb> spas : it looks like you have to do a bit of manual reading ..the samba site has excellent faq & how-to .. it's not hard to set up a few shares & access them from LAN etc ...
[02:42] <AzMoo> Dube, how are you mounting it?
[02:42] <enders> jhj
[02:42] <ferret_0567> !evolution
[02:42] <ubotu> evolution: The groupware suite. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.1-0ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 5022 kB, installed size 38204 kB
[02:42] <yommb> spas : just get familiar with the basics
[02:42] <Dube> AzMoo: it says its alkready mounted
[02:43] <AzMoo> Dube, but when you try and access it it tells you you don't have permission?
[02:43] <ferret_0567> How much memory does the Evolution Notification Daemon take up, too?
[02:43] <Dube> AzMoo: yeah
[02:44] <AzMoo> Dube, if you open a terminal and run "mount" what does it say for that device?
[02:45] <Dube> AzMoo: mkdir cd; mount /dev/hdc cd
[02:45] <Dube> oops
[02:45] <Dube> hehe
[02:45] <Dube> AzMoo /dev/hda1 on /tmp/disks-conf-hda1 type ntfs (rw)
[02:45] <blankfaze> can someone tell me about setting block size when using mkfs?
[02:46] <blankfaze> what should it be lol?
[02:47] <mike01> how do i switch the default sound device to /dev/dsp1 ?
[02:48] <ferret_0567> I guess I should just check out Evolution for myself...
[02:48] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know where the command 'service' is located? Im trying to set my PATH appropriately...
[02:48] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: I don't seem to have such a command
[02:48] <Aaron> Nevermind.  I could check out the source code with my current subversion version within another directory on my file system...
[02:48] <Aaron> Thanks anyways. :)
[02:48] <ferret_0567> Does somebody know how to setup "pam-keyring" to work with NetworkManager? I wish I had a link to a guide.
[02:49] <rbil> blankfaze: man mkfs.ext3     (or whatever filesystem)
[02:49] <blankfaze> rbil: yeah i'm looking at that
[02:49] <blankfaze> but someone told me what is best last night
[02:49] <blankfaze> but i forgot
[02:49] <rbil> blankfaze: the -T paramter will set appropriate block size
[02:49] <ferret_0567> Searching Google is a good tip, but I would prefer if someone would link me a guide in this case. Thanks
[02:49] <CaptainMorgan> jrib, really? for things like, server processes? example: %bash: service mysqld stop
[02:49] <ravalox> Hey, I've installed network-manager-gnome and can't seem to figure out how you start it?
[02:49] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: do you have that on ubuntu?
[02:49] <x_or> Anyone here know how to troubleshoot apt-ftparchive results?
[02:50] <mike01> how do i change /dev/dsp1 to /dev/dsp ?
[02:50] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: on debian based distros it's usually something like  sudo invoke-rc.d ssh stop
[02:50] <mike01> and make /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1?
[02:50] <LiENUS> anyone know why NetworkManager fails at step 2 of 5 for most access points?
[02:50] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: and that's the same as sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
[02:50] <LiENUS> this is on access points without encryption...
[02:51] <CaptainMorgan> jrib, ah.. thanks
[02:51] <not_a_k> is it possible to update the list of groups I belong to without logging out and logging back in?
[02:51] <blankfaze> so 1024 is the lowest valid block size?

[02:53] <Amaranth> get what?
[02:53] <cchance> MUDDKIPki, MUUDKIPth
[02:53] <KurinShoru> Got a TEW-424UB V2, is there anything I need to do to get it to work?
[02:54] <mike01> so how do i get /dev/dsp1 set as the default sound device?
[02:54] <LjL> cchance: they'll be "strangled" by freenode staff, don't worry
[02:54] <blankfaze> rbil:  can you give me an example of a valid mkfs/mke2fs command?
[02:54] <ravalox> Hey, I've installed network-manager-gnome and can't seem to figure out how you start it?
[02:55] <boxubi> i just touched the chassis of my PC and it shocked me - and at that instant the computer turned off. Now it wont show any signs of life. Does that sound like I killed the PSU?
[02:55] <rbil> blankfaze: mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/hdb1
[02:55] <yommb> muudkipth ...
[02:55] <blankfaze> rbil: i want a smaller block size though if there will be small files on the disk?
[02:55] <rbil> yes
[02:56] <rbil> but for mp3s, you probably want larger
[02:56] <blankfaze> rbil:  well i usually have some photos there too
[02:56] <blankfaze> i mean i guess i can keep them on my master
[02:56] <rbil> blankfaze: then the example I gave is probably the one you'd want if there are photos
[02:56] <mike01> so how do i get /dev/dsp1 set as the default sound device?
[02:57] <superkirbyartist> Hi, how do I call from Ekiga to Windows Live?
[02:57] <Amaranth> superkirbyartist: you can't
[02:57] <aSt3raL_> what is the gnome-terminal equivalent in kubuntu?
[02:57] <Amaranth> superkirbyartist: you need a SIP client on windows
[02:57] <Amaranth> aSt3raL_: konsole
[02:57] <superkirbyartist> Amaranth: I heard that Gizmo can.
[02:57] <Amaranth> superkirbyartist: gizmo can talk to ekiga, yes
[02:57] <quaal> hello does anyone know what this is talking about in step 8) b) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=116759
[02:57] <Amaranth> but not windows live
[02:57] <aSt3raL_> does alt+F2 work in kubuntu?
[02:57] <LjL> aSt3raL_: yes
[02:58] <blankfaze> rbil:  so 4096 is a good size if it's only mp3s and movie files on the disk?
[02:58] <superkirbyartist> Can a Gizmo account talk to Windows Live, Amaranth?
[02:58] <quaal> where is ~/.fluxbox/log supposed to be ?
[02:58] <Amaranth> superkirbyartist: no
[02:58] <armandocerna> I am getting distorted audio only in flash movies, has anyone run into this issues before
[02:58] <Amaranth> superkirbyartist: not that i've seen
[02:58] <armandocerna> i'm running flash 9
[02:58] <mike01> how do i switch /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp?
[02:58] <KurinShoru> what's the question, quaal?
[02:58] <DeMoNSeEd> it's not possible to still get Dapper via shipit??
[02:58] <jrib> quaal: ~/.fluxbox/log  is where it is supposed to be
[02:58] <KurinShoru> ~ = /home/yourlogin
[02:58] <quaal> jrib, what does ~/ mean ?
[02:58] <rbil> blankfaze: the most you'd waste is somewhere around 4K per file that occupies less than a cluster, no?
[02:59] <quaal> just /.fluxbox/log ?
[02:59] <jrib> quaal: ~ is your $HOME which is usually /home/USERNAME
[02:59] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: it's right there on the front shipit page
[02:59] <blankfaze> rbil: sounds good
[02:59] <mike01> how do i switch /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp?
[02:59] <KurinShoru> no /, quall.
[02:59] <quaal> jrib, ok, thats what i thought
[02:59] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: "  I want to request free CDs of the older  Ubuntu 6.06 LTS  release"
[02:59] <DeMoNSeEd> k
[02:59] <rbil> blankfaze: you have to make that decision depending on what u think you're going to be storing there
[02:59] <quaal> jrib,  thanks
[02:59] <aSt3raL_> is it Konsole or konsole?
[02:59] <blankfaze> rbil:  i got that, but i am a noob.  just mp3s and movie files.
[02:59] <quaal> jrib,  so /home/username/.fluxbox/log
[03:00] <rbil> blankfaze: then maybe you'd want to go with a larger block size?
[03:00] <jrib> quaal: right that would work, but your shell will expand ~ for you anyway
[03:00] <Amaranth> LjL: was just getting ready to do that :)
[03:00] <Bsims> I got a stupid question, I don't have a windows key (thank gnu) on my keyboard what is my super key
[03:00] <rbil> blankfaze: sacrifice so disk usage for speed
[03:00] <Amaranth> Bsims: you don't have a super key then
[03:00] <KurinShoru> doesn't exist, bsims.
[03:00] <DeMoNSeEd> Amaranth: , k i see what ya mean, it wasn't/isn't for me, a person i know ordered some, but was refused
[03:01] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: he probably tried to order 50 or something
[03:01] <Bsims> Amaranth: darn I am playing with beryl and I don't wanna give up my model M keyboard

[03:01] <spasticteapot> Dimbass question, but does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to recognize a file shared under Samba?
[03:01] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: interesting
[03:01] <rbil> blankfaze: 4096 is the largest u can use according to man page
[03:01] <spasticteapot> The Windows PC connects, the Linux PC does not.
[03:01] <spasticteapot> It is most infuriating.
[03:01] <Bsims> God's own keyboard it is
[03:01] <cables> If Gaim 2.0 Final comes out after Feisty is released, will it be put into the repositories, or will the Feisty repositories still supply Beta 6?
[03:01] <quaal> jrib, oh ok thanks
[03:01] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: do you have the reason?
[03:01] <DeMoNSeEd> i'll ask, brb
[03:01] <spasticteapot> Anyone know how to get Ubuntu to connect to a file shared under Samba?
[03:02] <spasticteapot> Nobody?
[03:02] <tanlaan> hey everyone, ive used ubuntu before, but now i want multiple users *only had one before*. Are there any known problems with multi user?
[03:02] <Bsims> exit
[03:02] <jrib> tanlaan: no
[03:02] <rbil> tanlaan: of course not, Linux is a multi-user o/s
[03:02] <tanlaan> I mean, lets say i want to be the only person to be able to install things, would i be able to edit all of their menus so they dont have any access to synaptic?
[03:03] <DeMoNSeEd> Amallya: , apparently no reason was given
[03:03] <DeMoNSeEd> i'll tell him to retry the request
[03:03] <rbil> tanlaan: only root (sudo) can install
[03:03] <LiENUS> anyone know why NetworkManager fails at step 2 of 5 for most access points?
[03:03] <blankfaze> rbil: well it's a large disk, i probably will not use more than 25-30% of it, so i don't care really if space gets lost or something if thats what you mean
[03:03] <[BTF] Chm0d> i have an issue with nvidia drivers how can I get nvidia kernel 9746 instead of 8174?  It is mismatched.
[03:03] <DeMoNSeEd> oops, should be Amaranth
[03:03] <DeMoNSeEd> sorry
[03:03] <[BTF] Chm0d> and i cannot just reinstall the 9746 drivers
[03:03] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: yeah, just try again
[03:04] <DeMoNSeEd> kk
[03:04] <jrib> tanlaan: you might be interested in http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/sabayon (it's packaged in ubuntu but this page has info)
[03:04] <DeMoNSeEd> catcha laters, thabks
[03:04] <aSt3raL_> what is the package for network monitor?
[03:04] <Amaranth> DeMoNSeEd: if you don't get a reason next time tell me (i'm usually here) and i'll find out who to ask about it
[03:04] <rbil> blankfaze: then the example I gave u is your best option
[03:04] <DeMoNSeEd> kk
[03:04] <DeMoNSeEd> will be done
[03:04] <yommb> BTF : try disabling the "nv" module !
[03:04] <blankfaze> rbil:  thanks.  sorry for being a pickyface
[03:04] <[BTF] Chm0d> how do i do that?
[03:04] <tanlaan> is there any way that i can use the music on my network media drive in rythmbox?
[03:04] <whileiwasgone> Hi I have a few Southpark .rm files that won't play in any player. Even RealPlayer 10 says that "The content you are trying to play uses an audio codec that is obsolete and no longer supported. Please contact the content provider about using a supported codec." Can anyone tell me what to do to get it to work?
[03:05] <jrib> tanlaan: rbil is right though that only users with sudo would be able to install anyway
[03:05] <Amaranth> tanlaan: You need to set it up with Places->Connect to Server
[03:05] <Amaranth> tanlaan: then afaik rhythmbox can use it
[03:05] <LiENUS> whileiwasgone,  buy the dvds
[03:05] <whileiwasgone> I own all of them Lienus.
[03:05] <[BTF] Chm0d> LiENUS: LOL
[03:05] <Amaranth> tanlaan: or you can setup a daap server (rhythmbox works for this too) and connect to it that way in rhythmbox
[03:05] <Nomad_O_North> Anyone know anything about installing gnome-ppp?

[03:06] <[BTF] Chm0d> ive had this problem before but i dont remember what i did :)
[03:06] <Amaranth> jrib: w32codecs are illegal
[03:06] <whileiwasgone> LOL I am going to travel so I dont want to haul DVDs
[03:06] <yommb> BTF : I forgot the name & location of the config file , hold on a sec i'll try & look it pup
[03:06] <Amaranth> whileiwasgone: rip the DVDs to your HD then
[03:06] <rbil> blankfaze: maybe fdisk -l       will tell you?
[03:07] <whileiwasgone> hmm So what I am seeing is that no one knows.
[03:07] <whileiwasgone> Thanks though.
[03:07] <ravalox> Hey, I'm trying to configure nm-applet to show me the wireless networking information on my laptop, It seems to default to the wired card
[03:07] <Amaranth> whileiwasgone: it's proprietary
[03:07] <Amaranth> whileiwasgone: we can't do much
[03:07] <ZellSF> why not rip them to a better format?

[03:07] <jay> I'm tryin to do a network install but I'm having trouble finding info on howto
[03:07] <michaeljsmalley> Plugged that baby in, and boom... Detected
[03:07] <fatbrain> How do I get the X11 extensioni XShape!?
[03:07] <rbil> blankfaze: more than likely will be sdaX

[03:08] <TheClaus> I am having trouble with opening a port on Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop Edition
[03:08] <TheClaus> Port #28000
[03:08] <TheClaus> netstat doesn't show it as listenin
[03:08] <rbil> blankfaze: depends on how it's partitioned
[03:09] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know the command for opening a file on a file server running Samba?
[03:09] <mike01> how do i switch the default sound device from Default (CX88 Digital)   to  1: NVidia CK804 (DUPLEX)
[03:09] <Amaranth> michaeljsmalley: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions might be of some help
[03:09] <Ellixis> Hi all
[03:10] <michaeljsmalley> Tried this.  I can't even format the thing in gparted...  Nothing works but reading from it
[03:10] <ardchoille> !hi | Ellixis
[03:10] <ubotu> Ellixis: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:11] <yommb> BTF :
[03:11] <Ellixis> Does the Desktop Image CD for Edgy contains a "server installation" ? Or should I download the specific "server iso"  ?
[03:11] <yommb> BTF : open this file in your fav editor : /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[03:11] <yommb> got it ?
[03:12] <the79bomb> Hello.  My task bar has completely disappeared and the forums say to execute several commands in the terminal window to fix it but I cannot find the executable in  /bin or /usr/bin for the terminal window.  Would someone tell me it's location?
[03:12] <yommb> BTF : then enter this : DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[03:12] <[BTF] Chm0d> im gettin there sorry
[03:12] <Amaranth> michaeljsmalley: the device itself might have some sort of read-only switch
[03:12] <ardchoille> Ellixis: I believe you have to dl the server iso, I think that is why it exists
[03:12] <yommb> BTF : then reboot & all should be ok !
[03:12] <jrib> the79bomb: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[03:12] <LiENUS> i gotta poopie
[03:12] <ardchoille> the79bomb: gnome-panel ?
[03:13] <the79bomb> thanks, jrib.
[03:13] <the79bomb> i think it's called kicker
[03:13] <ardchoille> the79bomb: That's for KDE
[03:13] <p34r> i just burned the iso off the internet, and when i boot off the cd and press 'install or start ubuntu' it goes through the loading screen, then goes to a black screen and says 'hdc:timeout waiting for DMA' then 'hdc: drive not ready for command"
[03:13] <Nomad_O_North> Gnome-ppp? Anyone?
[03:13] <the79bomb> What is KDE? I installed Edgy
[03:14] <[BTF] Chm0d> i need to reinstall the 9746 drivers now again though correct yommb
[03:14] <p34r> anyone know the problem? this is my first time trying to run ubuntu and it wont even work
[03:14] <Nomad_O_North> KDE is a desktop environment.
[03:15] <Nomad_O_North> the79bomb: KDE is a desktop environment.
[03:15] <ardchoille> the79bomb: the79bomb Did you install ubuntu or kubuntu?
[03:15] <blankfaze> rbil: ok, i think i did it, it seemed like it happened too fast... can you tell me how to remount the drive?
[03:16] <ZellSF> ok, I reinstalled grub
[03:16] <ZellSF> now how do I add Windows XP to it?
[03:16] <the79bomb> I installed ubuntu.  I just ran gnome-panel and the bar's back!  I don't know why it stopped starting automatically.
[03:16] <rbil> blankfaze: if it's an external, plugging it in should automount it
[03:16] <ZellSF> Ehr, never mind, I can't even run ubuntu now
[03:16] <yommb> or started stopping :p
[03:16] <p34r> i just burned the iso off the internet, and when i boot off the cd and press 'install or start ubuntu' it goes through the loading screen, then goes to a black screen and says 'hdc:timeout waiting for DMA' then 'hdc: drive not ready for command"
[03:16] <ardchoille> the79bomb: Possibly due to a mis-behaving panel applet
[03:17] <Joe_CoT> so, raise your hand if you think running vmware server in a chroot will work :-/
[03:17] <ZellSF> "error 17: cannot mount selected partition"
[03:17] <briank> does anybody know a good irc server/channel that I could get some linux security help?
[03:17] <cables> briank, try #linux as well as here
[03:17] <blankfaze> rbil: it's a 160GB drive, should that only take like 3 mins to complete?
[03:17] <ardchoille> briank: You can ask in here and maybe someone can help
[03:17] <Nomad_O_North> Gnome-PPP help?
[03:18] <At0mic_P1> Cool I can play DVD's now!
[03:18] <briank> thank you, although my problem really isn't ubuntu focused
[03:18] <At0mic_P1> Flashplayer 9?
[03:18] <Nomad_O_North> 'Cause I REALLY need a graphical modem dialer.
[03:18] <briank> when I run netstat on a computer at work (freebsd), I see a lot of established connections and syn_sent from foriegn hosts using port 25. All the local addresses seem to be incrementing ports in the 50000 - 65000 range. I also noticed that a lot messages where attempted to be relayed to different hosts in the maillog. does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix it?
[03:18] <rbil> blankfaze: don't know how long it should take? did it report success after formatting it?
[03:18] <At0mic_P1> Nomad_O_North: You got gnome-ppp installed now?
[03:18] <ZellSF> any suggestions?
[03:19] <Nomad_O_North> Not yet, but I did get wvdial working. How can I install gnome-ppp?
[03:19] <At0mic_P1> sudo apt-get update
[03:19] <p34r> i couldn't find this anywhere on the web. when i boot off the ubuntu CD i get 2 hdc errors
[03:19] <At0mic_P1> sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp
[03:19] <p34r> this is my first time running ubuntu and all i want is to use the live cd
[03:20] <p34r> but its kinda pissing me off heh
[03:20] <At0mic_P1> Nomad_O_North: wvdial worked for you?
[03:20] <p34r> 'hdc:timeout waiting for DMA' then 'hdc: drive not ready for command"
[03:20] <ablyss> briank: what's there to fix?  That sounds normal to me
[03:20] <At0mic_P1> NM
[03:20] <lowfi> p34r, is hdc a sata drive?
[03:20] <At0mic_P1>  < Nomad_O_North> Not yet, but I did get wvdial working.
[03:20] <At0mic_P1> Silly me
[03:20] <p34r> lowfi: i have 2 harddrives running RAID
[03:21] <ZellSF> no easy way to just go through the grub installation again?
[03:21] <yommb> p34r Ubuntu is probably not recognizing your raid controller
[03:21] <briank> sorry, I should explain more, this server should have no mail incoming to it, and only localhost should be sent out. The logs look like it's being used as an open relay
[03:22] <oljanx> hey, when booting edgy on my laptop I see about a 90 second hang when nothing appears to be happening on the graphic boot screen, I haven't seen that on my desktops, how would I find out what the hangup is?
[03:22] <sasukech1os> Trying to run flash, and firfox didnt find "a suitible plugin". Any help would be great
[03:22] <TheClaus> How do I open up a port in Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop.  Need UDP port 28000
[03:22] <At0mic_P1> So... How do I install flashplayer 9 in ubuntu. So far all the google links do not work.
[03:22] <p34r> yommb: how could i make it recognize it?
[03:22] <Nomad_O_North> At0mic_P1: It didn't work...says it can't find the package...
[03:22] <At0mic_P1> Nomad_O_North: You ran sudo apt-get update first?
[03:22] <moloch> Hey simple problem, i hope, my custom sounds arnt playing that i set up in prefrences sound, i dont even hear the ubuntu sound when i log into my account anymore? any ideas
[03:22] <cables> oljanx, if you disable the splash temporarily, you can see what's holding it up
[03:22] <ZellSF> TheClaus: ports aren't closed by default
[03:22] <TheClaus> hmm
[03:23] <TheClaus> SOB
[03:23] <Nomad_O_North> At0mic_P1: Doh!No...I shall try that...
[03:23] <oljanx> cables:  how do I disable the splash?
[03:23] <j1> Hi, I'm trying to install PostgreSQL but I'm getting a NOT FOUND when it tries to download it.  Can someone tell me what I should do to get it to download?
[03:23] <yommb> p34r : I'm not sure
[03:23] <briank> and I don't understand why all the various foriegn addresses are all coming/going from port 25 on their end, but a large range of ports on my end
[03:23] <cables> oljanx, in the grub boot menu, highlight the standard one, hit e, hit e again on the kernel line, and backspace through quiet and splash
[03:23] <ablyss> briank: where easy enough to setup up a firewall to block port 25
[03:23] <cables> then hit whatever you hit to get out of that
[03:23] <p34r> anyone know how to make ubuntu recognize my raid array?
[03:23] <cables> and hit b
[03:23] <ablyss> where/well
[03:23] <cables> !enter | cables
[03:23] <javaTN> hey all

[03:24] <cables> oljanx, you'll figure it out when you're in the grub menu
[03:24] <yommb> p34r if its an mb onbaord controller u may be out of luck.. u have to check your mb manufacturer to see whether it has a linux driver ...
[03:24] <moloch> sounds shouldn't be such a hassle
[03:24] <briank> true, but I would want to figure out where the actual hole is
[03:24] <p34r> yommb: yuck ok thanks
[03:25] <sasukech1os> Still isnt loading the patch or fiding it, and i did sudo apt-get update
[03:25] <briank> I didn't know if this would be an easy thing to troubleshoot or not
[03:25] <javaTN> does anyone here have good experience with modding linux / interfaces / gnome?
[03:25] <yommb> p34r : I have onboard RAID myself which I cant use on linux ...

[03:26] <Nomad_O_North> At0mic_P1: How large are the updates I am receiving? I am on dial-up...
[03:26] <yommb> p34r that is a nice software raid tool !

[03:27] <At0mic_P1> Nomad_O_North: I should take about 15 minutes.
[03:27] <blankfaze> rbil: ok, i just had to unplug/replug it.  thanks again,
[03:27] <Nomad_O_North> At0mic_P1?
[03:27] <cables> moloch, yep... worked out of the box.
[03:27] <oldmanstan> does anyone know why firefox would be doing this? i click on a link and it acts like it's loading the new page (connecting, etc shows up in status bar) but then the current page just stays on the screen... so weird, just started today
[03:27] <At0mic_P1> If you look to the left it'll show the progress.
[03:27] <rbil> blankfaze: no prob
[03:27] <moloch> how you set up your network?
[03:28] <javaTN> anyone?
[03:28] <moloch> i go tmy driver working with windows wireless drivers
[03:28] <At0mic_P1> If you look to the right it'll show how long it will take.

[03:29] <jenia6230> does eny1 know how to get torrentleech.org invite?
[03:29] <rafael-ec> i have a problem with ubuntu dapper and apache. I installed apache2 and php5. But when i try to parse a php page it does not parse, instead i get the browser option to download
[03:29] <quaal> just completed installing and setting it up according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=116759
[03:29] <oljanx> so, my laptop appears to be hanging for about 90 seconds on boot at "Configuring Network Interfaces" which is not followed by any errors that I can catch.
[03:29] <quaal> doesnt seem to give me the option to load it
[03:30] <timtrimble> jenia6230, no, go somewhere else, this is a chatroom for ubuntu, not for piracy
[03:30] <bobbyd> hi
[03:30] <rafael-ec> oljanx, you may have configure your network for dhcp and you don not have a dhcp server
[03:30] <quaal> timtrimble, not all torrents involve piracy
[03:30] <ZellSF> So. There's easy way to reinstall grub without reinstall ubuntu? :/
[03:30] <lowfi> piracy ?!
[03:30] <maximus2000> Can someone help me with a font issue... Any wine app, and console (ie F1, F2) have odd fonts.... screenshot http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s78/rever75/Screenshot.png
[03:30] <bobbyd> I have a problem with mythtv-database failing to configure, I'd like to edit the configure script, where should i look for it?
[03:30] <the79bomb> is there a way to give the terminal window administrator access to install programs etc.?
[03:31] <maximus2000> How can I fix this
[03:31] <At0mic_P1> Nomad_O_North: You can also check out Applications/ Add/remove to install applications.
[03:31] <quaal> and jenia6230 you get an invite to a torrent site by knowing someone who is a member
[03:31] <KuHlii> anyone got any ideas?
[03:31] <At0mic_P1> There is also Synaptic found in System Administration Synaptic
[03:31] <ablyss> the79bomb: gksu gnome-terminal
[03:32] <fabier> Hey everyone, I'm showing my wife what IRC is. Say Hi to her :)
[03:32] <the79bomb> thanks vmuch ablyss
[03:32] <At0mic_P1> fabier: That's not wise...
[03:32] <timtrimble> hi fabier
[03:32] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to make this work? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_access_network_folders_without_mounting
[03:32] <javaTN> lol
[03:32] <maximus2000> Hi
[03:32] <KuHlii> Hi, fabier's wife...
[03:32] <At0mic_P1> fabier: She might find out your secret hiding place.
[03:32] <KuHlii> haha
[03:32] <oljanx> rafael-ec:  I have other machines on the network with the exact same installation, as I've just installed edgy on 4 machines and haven
[03:32] <oljanx> oops
[03:32] <spasticteapot> The PC has a static IP address, the folder shared is /home/samba/share
[03:32] <fabier> haha
[03:32] <oljanx> made any changes yet
[03:32] <fabier> true enough ;)
[03:32] <oljanx> any reason the laptop only would be acting up?
[03:32] <rbil> rafael-ec: look into httpd.conf and check on: Addtype application/x-httpd-php .php   (at least older apache/php worked that way)
[03:33] <At0mic_P1> fabier's wife you know we look at pr0n when you're not watching right?
[03:33] <AzMoo> How do I reparse /etc/environment ? I've added an envvar for python.
[03:33] <rafael-ec>  oljanx, do you have a dhcp server? Can you paste the /etc/network/interfases file?
[03:33] <Nomad_O_North> At0mic_P1:  The fist command worked, but not the second. Still says it can't find the package...
[03:33] <frogzoo> AzMoo: relog
[03:33] <frogzoo> AzMoo: or.. '. /etc/environment'
[03:34] <fabier> thanks guys, gotta go continue our education into technology. I'll catch ya'll later.
[03:34] <At0mic_PC> Nomad_O_North: Try with the add/remove in your applications menu or synaptic
[03:35] <AzMoo> frogzoo, doesn't it require something like #!/bin/bash to be executable like that?
[03:35] <farski> I'm a complete novice, and I have a question about adding additional hard drives to my ubuntu box
[03:35] <At0mic_PC> Nomad_O_North: To be honest I used Synaptic...
[03:35] <blankfaze> rbil: can you tell me how to assign a name to a drive?  after reformatting it mounted as "usbdisk"
[03:35] <rafael-ec> rbil, I have that line uncomented on the apache2.conf file
[03:36] <jenia6230> 10x
[03:36] <jenia6230> and sorry
[03:36] <jenia6230> and it's not for piracy
[03:37] <ivanneto> I added a user to a group with: "adduser myuser somegroup". But when I execute the "groups" command, I don't see "somegroup" in the list. Is there some way to make the changes take effect without a reboot (or a change to runlevel 1)?

[03:38] <ivanneto> jrib: logging out (gdm) is enough?
[03:38] <saxofoner> I need a real pro, again... I have completely ruined my xserver, while trying to disable xgl.  I'm currently on live cd, and I need to fix my install from the command line, no GUI.  I basically want to reinstall the xserver thing w/o reinstalling Ubuntu, unless there's a better option.  I think I accidentally UNINSTALLED it.....  The whole X thing's just gone.
[03:38] <jrib> ivanneto: should be
[03:39] <hicks> wow saxofoner
[03:39] <ademan> will any intel motherboard work with ubuntu?  (assuming that the board was released before the latest kernel release)?
[03:39] <saxofoner> hicks: yeah, it's bad.
[03:39] <ivanneto> jrib: I'll try this. Thanks.
[03:39] <ZellSF> anyone can tell me how to get grub to boot my Linux partition? I'd rather not configure everything again.
[03:39] <hicks> try to chroot into the partition
[03:39] <spasticteapot> I have a Samba server on my network. How do I access the files from my Linux PC?
[03:39] <zriah> Hi all.  How do I tell ubuntu to load a module every boot?  What config file?  Works great if I modprobe it, just doesn't do it on reboot.
[03:39] <ZellSF> I don't even know what that is :/
[03:40] <saxofoner> see, I tried to install xgl/compiz, but it didn't work, so I uninstalled it, but I think I sort of borked Xserver in the process... any advice at all?
[03:40] <spasticteapot> Anyone?
[03:40] <saxofoner> spasticteapot:  more info, please?  what's connected to what?
[03:40] <hicks> hmm have you tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:40] <spasticteapot> I have an ethernet switch, my server, and my Linux PC.
[03:40] <hicks> and changed the video driver to vesa
[03:40] <spasticteapot> The Windows PC on the network can "see" the server under Network Neighborhood.
[03:40] <darktink> ummm hi ppl
[03:41] <saxofoner> hm... I'll try that... but what's the vesa thing, hicks?
[03:41] <spasticteapot> saxofoner: How do I get the Linux PC to "see" the shared network folder?
[03:41] <darktink> just a question is there anyway i can use  limrwire or bearshare
[03:41] <hicks> in place of the ati/nvidia vesa will be used
[03:42] <hicks> I cannot be of much help in this situation as I do not whats causing the xorg server to crash
[03:42] <JunK-Y> with the volume control manager, how can i know whats the name of the muted icon?
[03:42] <spasticteapot> saxofoner: Any tips?
[03:43] <saxofoner> oh... okay.  It's a shot in the dark, but it's all I've got to work with... as long as I don't lose my hard drive, I'm cool with it, I don't care about my install that much... haha.
[03:43] <saxofoner> hicks:  I tried this guide:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Xgl.2FCompiz_.28Nvidia.29 and then it didn't work... so I uninstalled that list of installed things, and now I can't boot.
[03:44] <saxofoner> compiz xserver-xgl libgl1-mesa xserver-xorg libglitz-glx1 compiz-gnome
[03:44] <saxofoner> I uninstalled all of those, but I thought I skipped xserver.org... maybe I should reinstall libgl1-mesa?
[03:44] <rilak> cheers all
[03:45] <rilak> where can I find a good guide or howto on making Ubuntu-flavored Debian source packages?
[03:45] <saxofoner> sorry spasticteapot, I have no idea.  Can you connect to the network at all?
[03:45] <poningru> rilak: what do you mean?
[03:45] <blankfaze> can someone tell me how to rename a hard disk?  it mounts as "usbdisk"... i'd like to change that
[03:45] <poningru> like source of a deb?
[03:45] <briank> how can you tell if something is being sent from your address to a foriegn address or the other way around when you run netstat?

[03:47] <exwhyzed>    How can I fix that?
[03:47] <poningru> eXistenZ: a) what wifi card are you trying to use?
[03:48] <exwhyzed> poningru, it's an integrated card. atheros 5211 chipset. I couldn't get madwifi to recognize the card
[03:48] <rilak> sweet, thanks a lot.
[03:48] <poningru> oh
[03:48] <poningru> exwhyzed: hmm thats weird it should have
[03:48] <poningru> exwhyzed: what version of ubuntu?
[03:49] <exwhyzed> poningru, 6.10
[03:49] <ivanneto> I executed "usermod -G src myuser". Then, I loggeg out and now my user is only in the "src" group. It's not in the "sudo" group, so I cannot execute commands with sudo. What can I do to assign all groups back to my user?
[03:49] <poningru> thats weird a friend has it in his laptop working with ubuntu out of the box
[03:49] <poningru> ivanneto: hehe you have to go into single user mode
[03:49] <exwhyzed> it didn't recognize the card after the install nor after installing madwifi
[03:49] <ivanneto> poningru: with "init 1"?
[03:50] <xtknight> !chroot
[03:50] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[03:50] <poningru> yes
[03:50] <poningru> ivanneto: yeah
[03:50] <poningru> and then adduser -ingroup through that
[03:50] <Thuggles> How to I get recognized as owner?
[03:50] <poningru> err usermode

[03:51] <Thuggles> danke
[03:51] <blankfaze> can someone tell me how to rename a hard disk/partition? it mounts as "usbdisk"... i'd like to change that
[03:52] <oljanx> rafael-ec:  (if your still around)  I was able to fix the problem I mentioned by removing lines referencing wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces, the wireless card is still functioning properly.  I wonder why that caused a long hang at boot...
[03:52] <exwhyzed> poningru, do you know how I can remedy the error I'm having?
[03:52] <poningru> exwhyzed: looking
[03:52] <poningru> sorry hold on
[03:52] <exwhyzed> thanks
[03:53] <poningru> eXistenZ: right yeah that usually means you put in some wrong stuff for the config
[03:54] <KuHlii> anyone know why i would be getting some error messages when trying to use the gnome network manager when trying to connect to wireless network, that are saying ieee80211_crypt_tkip: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_unregister_crypto_ops
[03:54] <KuHlii> and then another line saying ieee80211_crypt_tkip: unknown symbol ieee80211_unregister_crypto_ops
[03:54] <exwhyzed> hmmm, I'm not sure where I put anything into a config
[03:54] <oljanx> wireless networking problems seem to be extremely popular these days...
[03:55] <vox754> LiENUS: did you solve your problems? I just installed network-whatever, what else does it do?
[03:55] <exwhyzed> I just did "ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf" "ndiswrapper -l" to confirm it was installed then tried to do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" and got the error
[03:55] <KuHlii> oljanx, yeah and do not seem to be easy fix
[03:55] <spencer47> wireless problems abound
[03:56] <KuHlii> this one has been getting to me for about a week
[03:56] <KuHlii> no one seems to be able to know whats wrong?
[03:56] <spencer47> I've been struggling with Broadcom
[03:56] <farski> can someone point me in the right direction as far as setting up software raid goes?
[03:56] <vox754> oljanx: for wireless, I suggest talking "privately" in #ndiswrapper, help people there, even if you aren't using "ndiswrapper"
[03:57] <spencer47> good idea
[03:58] <roach> n00b question:  My Ubuntu server just restarted, and I don't know why.  I'm wondering where I'd start looking to figure out what might have caused the reboot (assuming it wasn't a hardware issue, of course).
[03:58] <mshade> farski: there's a great tutorial at tldp.org
[03:58] <KuHlii> can anyone help me with my anoying problem?
[03:59] <mshade> farski: i've used it to set up software raid 1 on slackware
[03:59] <tanlaan> hello everyone, i tried installing wine *succesfully* and running Steam in it. I got it to install, but when it starts up it auto updates, then loads to 26% and shutsdown. Anyone know how i can fix this?
[03:59] <mshade> anyone know about knetworkmanager?
[03:59] <farski> mshade: I can do this after I've installed the OS right? (the boot volume won't be in the raid)
[03:59] <mshade> farski: yeah, absolutely
[04:01] <KuHlii> i have read it may be because of versions mismatch, however how can i tell what versions im running and the proper ones to install?
[04:01] <vox754> KuHlii, using ndiswrapper?
[04:02] <farski> mshade: do you happen to know, if I set up a 2 drive array w/ software raid, and someday I switch to hardware, is that possible, or do they work completely differently
[04:02] <KuHlii> ummm... no using ipw3945
[04:02] <KuHlii> would no know where to start with ndiswrapper
[04:02] <zero88> whats up whats up WHATS UUUUUUp
[04:03] <Moosejaw> can gftp do a recursive chmod command?
[04:03] <mshade> farski: not sure about that.  it would probably depend on the card
[04:03] <mshade> farski: but under software raid, each disk is identical -- take one away and mount it normally, it'll work fine
[04:03] <vox754> KuHlii, could try going here #ndiswrapper
[04:03] <mshade> anyone work with knetworkmanager
[04:03] <mshade> ?
[04:03] <farski> k cool
[04:04] <farski> mshade: can I set up the raid after one disk already has data on it?
[04:04] <tanlaan> nevermind i found the fix for it
[04:04] <mshade> farski: yes
[04:04] <farski> mshade: nice
[04:04] <GaiaX11> KuHlii: What do you want?
[04:04] <mshade> farski: just be sure which drive is used to build the raid from
[04:04] <Moosejaw> can gftp do a recursive chmod command?
[04:04] <mshade> farski: because it's possible to synch the blank drive to the full drive
[04:05] <farski> mshade: yep
[04:05] <KuHlii> i want to be able to use my wireless
[04:05] <Popoi> Hi, I have installed Firefox 32 on my Ubuntu AMD64, everything works fine! but I want to put this Firefox 32 on spanish using the Mozilla Spanish Package, same way that I have the deafalut Firefox 64-Bits. Somebody know how can I do it?
[04:05] <tanlaan> !activex
[04:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about activex - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:05] <vox754> mshade, you are using KDE right? Sorry, Gnome here only. I liked KDE but I think Ubuntu is more stable than Kubuntu.
[04:05] <Moosejaw> kuhlii u using gnome or kde?
[04:05] <KuHlii> i have a inte l3945abg card, which seems to pickup my wireless network using gnome network manager
[04:06] <KuHlii> however when trying to connect it does not work
[04:06] <Moosejaw> kuhlii install network manager
[04:06] <mshade> vox754: i'm on an ubuntu install and did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:06] <Moosejaw> network-manager
[04:06] <KuHlii> ummm... isnt that the same
[04:06] <GaiaX11> KuHlii: You have to install it
[04:07] <KuHlii> i have the network manager installed already
[04:07] <Moosejaw> no
[04:07] <Moosejaw> its not
[04:07] <Moosejaw> i made the same mistake
[04:07] <Moosejaw> its different and far better than the gnome network manager
[04:07] <vox754> mshade: Does it work good? I wanted to do that, but I don't want to break anything, so for the time being I'll continue with Gnome.
[04:08] <KuHlii> ok, i just went into add/remove programs and typed in Network manger, and network manager has a tick in the box,
[04:08] <threeseas> question: secondary ide drive is ubuntu that won't boot to the GUI interface, just installed ubuntu 6.10 on another drive (primary) - and it boots giving me the option to boot the secondary drive system. If I do that it won't screw up the new install?
[04:08] <_Luk1> hey ppl
[04:08] <Moosejaw> in a terminal type: network-manager
[04:09] <BrianHarcourt> anyone having luck using rhythmbox over an SMB connection?
[04:09] <Moosejaw> crap
[04:09] <mshade> vox754: works fine for me :)
[04:09] <aSt3raL_> nah
[04:09] <Moosejaw> let me see here.
[04:09] <aSt3raL_> its nm-applet
[04:09] <_Luk1> i have a soundcard which doesnt works ok (VIA VT82xx) . I tried a lot of things (deactivate esd, configure alsamixer, alsamixergui, etc......)
[04:09] <GaiaX11> KuHlii: You need ndiswrapper and wireless-tools and your file.inf to install your wireless
[04:09] <_Luk1> but it doesnt works
[04:09] <vox754> Moosejaw: you sure? because I think they are called "network-manager" and "network-manager-gnome", which seems to be like a frontend.
[04:09] <_Luk1> the left speakerphone doesnt works
[04:09] <Byan> anyone know how to get powernowd to work correctly with overclocking?
[04:09] <xtknight> how do the maintainers manage to make all those deb files?  is there some coordinated way to configure source the same way using the same dev packages and compile it bi-arch?
[04:10] <Moosejaw> vox:  i made a mistake
[04:10] <Moosejaw> but he should install network-manager-gnome
[04:10] <Moosejaw> i believe
[04:10] <mhiku> can i install automake without automake?
[04:10] <aSt3raL_> network-manager-gnome is the install
[04:10] <aSt3raL_> nm-applet is the file name
[04:10] <KuHlii> moosejaw installed, there is a icon in the top right near the time and if i right click on it and click about it comes up with NetworkManager Applet 0.6.3
[04:10] <Nomad_O_North> At0mic_PC:?
[04:11] <Moosejaw> Kuhlii do what asteral said
[04:11] <Moosejaw> it works like a charm
[04:11] <KuHlii> its already installed. and it picks up my wireless network, it just does not connect to it
[04:11] <Moosejaw> u may have to restart
[04:11] <CodyLoco> Hi, I finally got Ubuntu to load, but now I'm having a crash with x-server.  Can someone please point me towards a troubleshooting page?
[04:11] <vox754> _Luk1: motherboard? I think I have the same card, for K8M800.
[04:11] <Moosejaw> what encryption u using?
[04:11] <gkjones> ltany 1 remeber the command to free a package that wont remove in adept manager and no updates can proceeed
[04:11] <KuHlii> i have restarted
[04:11] <KuHlii> WPA Personal
[04:12] <Moosejaw> did it give u the option to enter the wpa info?
[04:12] <_Luk1> vox754: my motherboard is an Asus p5vdc-x
[04:12] <Moosejaw> using network manager?
[04:12] <Moosejaw> do you have wpa_supplicant installed?
[04:12] <lowfi> KuHlii, have you installed and configured wpasupplicant
[04:12] <Moosejaw> and wpa_supplicant.conf configured?
[04:12] <Nomad_O_North> I have Gnome-PPP installed, but can't figure out how to work it.
[04:12] <lowfi> haha, ok
[04:13] <KuHlii> yes, it comes up with the screen and asks for the key/password and i put it in and it just sits there and does nothing
[04:13] <_Luk1> vox754: my left speakerphone stays mute
[04:13] <Moosejaw> install wpasupplicant
[04:13] <KuHlii> however if i go to System > Administration > System logg
[04:13] <_Luk1> vox754, only the right speaker works
[04:13] <Moosejaw> than edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf properly
[04:13] <Pntkl> ?
[04:13] <linux_kid> can a mounted partition be formatted?
[04:13] <KuHlii> i get a couple of error which i have no idea what they mean
[04:13] <Moosejaw> can anyone tell me if there is an ftp app that will allow a recursive chmod command?
[04:14] <Moosejaw> kujlii there is a great howto on wpasupplicant on ubuntuforums.org
[04:15] <xtknight> how do i install all the packages i have on my host to my chroot automatically?
[04:15] <tanlaan> has anyone installed steam on their computer *under linux* and been successful?
[04:15] <KuHlii> Moosejaw, what doeswpasupplicant do and will it fix my problems with ieee80211?
[04:15] <KuHlii> im getting the following errors: ieee80211_crypt_tkip: disagrees about version of symbol ieee80211_unregister_crypto_ops
[04:16] <Moosejaw> kuhlii: wpasupplicant is the security encryption u need configured
[04:16] <Moosejaw> to use wpa
[04:16] <Moosejaw> so...
[04:16] <KuHlii> and ieee80211_crypt_tkip: Unknown symbol ieee80211_unregister_crypto_ops
[04:16] <KuHlii> ok
[04:16] <Moosejaw> if u just want to see if things are working...
[04:16] <Moosejaw> remove your encryption from your router
[04:16] <Moosejaw> restart
[04:16] <Moosejaw> and see if u can connect
[04:17] <KuHlii> id prefer not, the router took me ages to get right... lol
[04:17] <Moosejaw> well
[04:17] <Moosejaw> u should be an expert at it now
[04:17] <Moosejaw> haha
[04:17] <Moosejaw> all u have to do is turn off the security
[04:18] <Moosejaw> do this than...
[04:18] <Moosejaw> sudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[04:18] <Moosejaw> tell me if there is anything in that file
[04:18] <dwhsix> gah - I'm having the oft-reported problem of no audio when playing flash video in firefox (ok swiftfox)
[04:19] <dwhsix> tried the various proposed fixes... no luck
[04:19] <dwhsix> any further ideas?
[04:19] <felixhummel> xtknight, did u get an answer to your "how do the maintainers manage to make all those deb files?" question? I'm curious too
[04:19] <JunK-Y> i cant have more then 32000 dirs with my current fs, how can i increase that value?
[04:19] <vox754> _Luk1: I don't really know how to help you. Sound cards are supposed to work... bad luck. Sometimes my card wouldn't start; then, after updates, it doesn't fail anymore.
[04:19] <dwhsix> e.g. http://www.macewan.org/2006/06/01/howto-firefox-flash-video-sound-on-ubuntu-linux-dapper/
[04:19] <xtknight> felixhummel: not really.

[04:26] <ubotu> someone3: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:26] <vox754> Moosejaw: you can go to #ndiswrapper to talk about wireless, even if your problem is not related to "ndiswrapper". You can talk "privately" there, as there are few users, and some of them may be more experienced.
[04:26] <frogzoo> volcom: did you install build-essential ?
[04:27] <Moosejaw> sure thing.  It aint my problem, and it has nothing to do with ndiswrapper.  So I will just leave the subject alone,  I'll stop helping
[04:27] <volcom> frogzoo, i just installed a week ago
[04:27] <frogzoo> volcom: did you install build-essential ?
[04:27] <volcom> not that i know of
[04:27] <Moosejaw> now if someone can help me.  Is there an ftp app that will do a recursive chmod?
[04:27] <KuHlii> moosejaw, i will try that a reboot.
[04:27] <aSt3raL_> volcom: try synaptic package manager, i dont remember how to do it from the command line
[04:27] <frogzoo> volcom: well do that & try again
[04:28] <KuHlii> thanks
[04:28] <mister_roboto> volcom: build-essential is the package that gives you the compiler and all the support utils
[04:28] <bruenig> volcom, what are you trying to do?
[04:28] <aSt3raL_> anyone know how to check to see if a package is installed from the command line?
[04:28] <volcom> alright hold on let me install build-essential
[04:28] <frogzoo> aSt3raL_: dpkg -l pkg
[04:30] <Luke> even though I have beagled in my gnome session startup - it doesnt start when gnome starts like it should. anyone know how to fix this?
[04:30] <aSt3raL_> beagled?
[04:30] <Luke> yea beagle daemon
[04:30] <kitche> Luke: how do you know it doesn't start?
[04:32] <Luke> kitche: because when I do a search it says "beagled is not started" and I have to click a button to start it
[04:32] <Luke> kitche: also its not in the process list
[04:33] <zcat[1] > anyone know how in an openoffice spreadsheet I can fill a cell with a solid single or double line ?

[04:33] <CodyLoco> Hi, I finally got Ubuntu to load, but now I'm having a crash with x-server.  Can someone please point me towards a troubleshooting page?
[04:34] <Vuen> Question, if i downloaded the iso but i don't have any blank cds, can i burn it to a blank dvd instead?
[04:34] <CodyLoco> Vuen: worked for me
[04:34] <aSt3raL_> Vuen: yes
[04:34] <CodyLoco> as long as it's burned as burnable and disk-at-once
[04:34] <CodyLoco> er
[04:35] <CodyLoco> bootable
[04:35] <aSt3raL_> CodyLoco: /etc/xorg.conf

[04:36] <TheDebugger> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:36] <jadacyrus> Im using twinview and I used to have it when I run a game, my second monitor will automatically be disabled. Im pretty sure I achieeved this through a metamode setting. But since I formatted I lost that info and was wondering if anybody here knows what im talking about?
[04:36] <aSt3raL_> heh
[04:36] <Luke> even though I have beagled in my gnome session startup - it doesnt start when gnome starts like it should. anyone know how to fix this?
[04:36] <aSt3raL_> slocate xorg.conf

[04:36] <_Luks> when i loaded the snd-via82xx module
[04:36] <_Luks> gave this error:
[04:36] <CodyLoco> I know you don't want to walk me through it, but can  you point me toward a site that maybe has a walkthrough/troubleshooter guide?
[04:36] <_Luks> http://rafb.net/p/7YcvTl91.html
[04:36] <frogzoo> Jordan_U: -> #winehq
[04:36] <aSt3raL_> CodyLoco: what kind of video card?
[04:37] <_Luks> (its a log from dmesg)
[04:37] <CodyLoco> it's a built in intel card
[04:37] <volcom> ok aSt3raL_, build-essential is not installed
[04:37] <volcom> but when i go into synaptic to install it
[04:38] <CodyLoco> I just bought the machine last week, it has a onboard intel video chipset
[04:38] <CodyLoco> any way to check from the shell?
[04:38] <aSt3raL_> CodyLoco: you sure its intel?
[04:39] <aSt3raL_> CodyLoco: what is the computer brand and model?
[04:39] <CodyLoco> that's what windows was feeding it
[04:39] <CodyLoco> Acer E700
[04:39] <CodyLoco> sec let me get you a link
[04:40] <someone3> loco, what crash???
[04:40] <CodyLoco> it just said it failed to load, but a window was going to come up and ask me if I wanted to view the output, but I was in the command
[04:41] <grunbok> Does anyone know of a driver for an IBM EtherJet PC card
[04:41] <grunbok> ?
[04:41] <aSt3raL_> CodyLoco: its an Intel GMA X3000 video card
[04:41] <jadacyrus> what do I put in my metamode to make my second monitor go blank when I play a game in fullscreen mode? (Twinview)
[04:41] <volcom-> ok how do i get around synaptic failing to mark packages due to failed dependencies
[04:41] <someone3> /var/log/X.*.log or something
[04:41] <CodyLoco> Ah thanks aSt3raL_
[04:42] <CodyLoco> so now what do I do?
[04:42] <someone3> for X log
[04:42] <someone3> check there what went wrong
[04:42] <lgc> What is the apt option to retrieve info about a package? Thanks.
[04:43] <MrSatanic> Can anyone help me with vmware
[04:43] <cables> lgc, aptitude show packagename
[04:43] <lgc> cables (quemados) thanks!
[04:43] <cables> no prob
[04:44] <lgc> cables you missed the "quemados" part...:)
[04:44] <someone3> satanic, what with?
[04:44] <cables> quemados?
[04:44] <MrSatanic> I get an error
[04:44] <MrSatanic> When I type
[04:45] <lgc> cables, "quemados" = "burnt", in Spanish. (Bad joke, anyway).
[04:45] <MrSatanic> sudo aptitude install qemu
[04:45] <cables> ok ;)
[04:45] <CodyLoco> aSt3raL_ so what do I do :(
[04:45] <lgc> cables, how would it be with apt-get? apt-get show packagename?
[04:46] <someone3> where does vmware come in??
[04:46] <Jordan_U> lgc: apt-cache show
[04:46] <Myen> hmm, using dapper, dnsmasq seems to keep on going away by itself; any hints on figuring out why it's doing that?
[04:47] <MrSatanic> No it says I must run manually...
[04:47] <lgc> Jordan_U, thanks! Now to a flames-type question: Which one is better, apt or aptitude?
[04:47] <someone3> satanic, u said u need help with vmware
[04:48] <Secion8> Anyone know how to access windows vista network share with smbclient?
[04:48] <MrSatanic> Yeah
[04:48] <ReK_`laptop`> does anyone have experience setting up atheros wireless cards?
[04:48] <MrSatanic> I got to have the install
[04:48] <MrSatanic> Then it says
[04:48] <five_laptop> anyone know how to get vnc to connect to an already active xserver rather than starting a new one?
[04:48] <MrSatanic> sudo aptitude install qemu
[04:48] <MrSatanic> Then I get an error
[04:49] <someone3> five, append a : and a number
[04:49] <five_laptop> i did that... didn't work
[04:49] <Jordan_U> lgc: aptitude has a nice curses interface and before Edgy it was usefull because it tracked what apps were installed with a certain package so when you removed an app it removed all packages it depended on but you no longer need, now with Edgy apt can do this also with apt-get autoremove
[04:49] <someone3> :0 ??
[04:50] <someone3> brb
[04:51] <MrSatanic> Got it..
[04:51] <lgc> Jordan_U, silly me, I thought that was well taken care of by apt-get! (I'm a day old in Dapper, after Breezy and Hoary).
[04:52] <someone3> satanic, the error is ???
[04:52] <Jordan_U> lgc: installing dependencies has always been available, automatically removing them is new to apt-get
[04:52] <bordy> heya folks... any chance anyone knows how to fix me not having a shut down or reboot button anymore?
[04:52] <Secion8> Any info on connecting to vista share?
[04:53] <riotkittie> ReK_`laptop`: set up how?
[04:53] <kitche> Secion8: try this http://www.builderau.com.au/blogs/codemonkeybusiness/viewblogpost.htm?p=339270746
[04:53] <lgc> Jordan_U, you mean perhaps more thoroughy. Otherwise upgrades would be impossible to handle. Am I right?
[04:53] <ReK_`laptop`> it doesnt detect the wifi0 interface
[04:54] <JaZyOSX> i'm having a bit of a problem i was messing with installing ldap, cuz i wanted to use NIS, but now when ever i goto a terminal i get I HAVE NO NAME @myhost :
[04:54] <JaZyOSX> and when i try running something that will require root access
[04:55] <CodyLoco> so how do I edit xorg.conf?
[04:55] <JaZyOSX> i get a pop up window (within gnome) about user root not exsisting
[04:55] <dougb> after the bc43xx-fwcutter extracts the driver from the sys file, what do you do after that?
[04:55] <Secion8> kitche: Thank you but I already changed that. I am trying to connect to the windows box from ubuntu box
[04:55] <Vuen> CodyLoco: hit alt+f2, type: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:55] <someone3> loco, use mc
[04:56] <RyanTMulligan> Where does the gnome-session-manager store it's session saving?
[04:56] <kitche> Secion8: yes if you followed that guide it tells you how
[04:56] <Jordan_U> lgc: As an example, if you install the kubuntu metapackage with apt, you will have to remove all the packages it installs seperately , apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop won't remove them, apt-get autoremove will
[04:56] <riotkittie> CodyLoco: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf          ...... or gksu editor-of-your-choice-here /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:56] <CodyLoco> thnx this is my first time trying this
[04:56] <riotkittie> ReK_`laptop`: is the card listed when you type iwconfig  in a term?
[04:56] <ReK_`laptop`> no, but it is listed in lspci
[04:57] <linuxnoob> is anyone able to help me with a command i can issue in CLI that will confirm im running feisty??
[04:57] <mhiku> how can i install autoconf?
[04:57] <bordy> Any help? Missing shut down/reboot buttons?
[04:57] <lgc> Jordan_U, I sort of see your point.
[04:57] <I> .
[04:57] <kitche> !version | linuxnoob
[04:57] <ubotu> linuxnoob: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[04:58] <kerpal> anyone know how to get Ubuntu to read my SATA Drive? I am trying to install via the live regular edgy cd and i get an error saying Couldn't mount device, input/output error, but i can see my other drives partitions perfectly fine
[04:58] <Secion8> kitche: I changed Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level. I guess that is not my problem, But thanx for the idea.
[04:59] <kitche> Secion8: if you did that then you should just be able to configure samba and mount the share
[04:59] <linuxnoob> kitche, much thanks.  appreciated greatly!
[05:00] <Popoi> HI, I want to know how can I make Dolphin my deafult File Manager on KDE. Someone know how to do it?
[05:01] <Secion8> I don't have samba installed.  Just smbclient
[05:01] <jml> I'd like /bin/sh to point to bash. Should I change the symlink, or is there a tool to change it?
[05:01] <kitche> Secion8: that is part of samba
[05:01] <lgc> Jordan_U, what relation do "suggested" packages have to the ones being installed? Are they necessary in any way, or do they provide extra functionality?
[05:01] <Pntkl> I'll find out
[05:01] <someone3> section, did u try mount -t smbfs ??
[05:01] <kitche> jml: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
[05:02] <Onburiiku> Hello =)
[05:02] <Mohole> ciao a tutti
[05:02] <CodyLoco> OK so I have xorg.conf open
[05:02] <Mohole> posso chiedere un aiutino?
[05:02] <CodyLoco> and editable
[05:02] <CodyLoco> now what?
[05:02] <jml> kitche: thanks
[05:02] <someone3> non parla italiano!!!
[05:02] <lgc> Jordan_U, specifically, I've been trying to install openoffice, but there's a big list of suggested packages I've been installing, not really knowing their relative importance.
[05:02] <Mohole> sorry
[05:03] <Mohole> can i have an help with kubuntu?
[05:03] <someone3> loco, what was the error??
[05:03] <Onburiiku> Still have the same problem
[05:03] <Onburiiku> Nothing seems to work.
[05:03] <Jordan_U> lgc: It can't hurt to install them but they are not required.
[05:03] <CodyLoco> it just crashed while loading the live CD
[05:03] <Onburiiku> I might just break down and re-install Ubuntu
[05:03] <Jordan_U> Mohole: #kubuntu
[05:03] <Mohole> ok, i go to the kub channel
[05:03] <CodyLoco> like it loaded all
[05:03] <Mohole> thanx
[05:03] <CodyLoco> then it was going to load the gui i think
[05:03] <someone3> LOL, loco, where r u gonna save the conf??
[05:04] <CodyLoco> I DONT KNOW!!! :(
[05:04] <CodyLoco> lol
[05:04] <CodyLoco> I'm so confused!
[05:04] <someone3> did u alreasy install?
[05:04] <someone3> oh
[05:04] <CodyLoco> No, because I can't get the GUI to install lol
[05:04] <someone3> u should try a text install
[05:04] <lgc> Jordan_U, they hurt my HD, for one. OpenClipArt, for example, one of the suggested packages, took about 170 MB!
[05:04] <CodyLoco> how can I partition it via text?
[05:04] <Popoi> How can I change my default file manager on Kubuntu?
[05:04] <CodyLoco> I want to keep my install of windows vista tho
[05:05] <someone3> u can with parted
[05:05] <someone3> ahhhh
[05:05] <CodyLoco> :( lol that's greek to me
[05:05] <someone3> use partition magic in win
[05:05] <CodyLoco> and I don't speak greek
[05:05] <CodyLoco> ok
[05:05] <jazzman> anyone know a command to display hard disk info like make and serial number
[05:05] <CodyLoco> and what partitions do I set up?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> lgc: Then don't install them, if you decide there is a feature that you want but isn't available then install it later :)
[05:05] <someone3> it allows u to move data (partitions)
[05:06] <felixhummel> CodyLoco, use cfdisk
[05:06] <Jordan_U> someone3: Why not just use gparted?
[05:06] <someone3> none, just empty space, u finish it later in linux
[05:06] <Larkey> I need to install Windows XP on my second hard drive, if I have Ubuntu on my main hard drive, what do I need to do to dual boot properly?
[05:06] <CodyLoco> ok
[05:06] <CodyLoco> lol
[05:06] <felixhummel> Larkey, all u need is grub and a little knowledge about it ;)
[05:07] <CodyLoco> sorry this is just so overwhelming lol
[05:07] <jazzman> cant anyone help me
[05:07] <unikon> anyone ever have an issue of opening up a folder on the desktop scroll halfway down and it closes by itself?
[05:07] <lgc> Jordan_U, I was disappointed finding out that Dapper didn't take good care of the Open Office installation. And when I did it, it OO was not able to read Windoze files! (I hope it's now corrected after some hundreds of megas.)
[05:07] <Larkey> Do I just need to add the NTFS lines into the .conf?
[05:07] <kerpal> is there a way for me to partition my SATA drive, i'm getting an input/output error on the live cd
[05:07] <someone3> loco, u'll get there
[05:07] <CodyLoco> I wish it would just "work" but I guess that would ruin the fun
[05:07] <CodyLoco> actually-
[05:07] <CodyLoco> my computer got shipped with one of those dumb redundant backups prepartitioned
[05:08] <CodyLoco> can I use anything to delete that partition and prepare it for linux?
[05:08] <Jordan_U> lgc: What do you mean didn't take good care of it? I can / could in Dapper open .docs by default.
[05:08] <someone3> loco, of course
[05:08] <someone3> in win or linux
[05:08] <ardchoille> CodyLoco: gparted
[05:08] <five_laptop> hrm.... why is Xrealvnc only at 3.3.7 in the repositories??  its above version 4.x now
[05:08] <jazzman> anyone know a command to display hard disk info like make and serial number
[05:08] <Jordan_U> CodyLoco: Yes, it is an option when you install Ubuntu
[05:09] <ardchoille> five_laptop: in Dapper repos?
[05:09] <five_laptop> edgy
[05:09] <mojo__> jazzman: you are looking for smart utilities... um, 1 sec...
[05:09] <CodyLoco> OK give me a bit to make some backup disks of my windows vista install, then I'll be back
[05:09] <felixhummel> jazzman, cat /proc/ide/hdX/model where X is (a,b,c)
[05:09] <lgc> Jordan_U, I mean it removed the versions of OO I had and forgot to install the new one..:(.
[05:09] <ardchoille> five_laptop: When Ubuntu is released, the only updates you get are bug fixes and security updates. Not all apps get updated to the latest version after the release.
[05:09] <five_laptop> o wait... its in a separate repo
[05:09] <five_laptop> nm
[05:09] <felixhummel> jazzman, start with an ls /proc/ide/
[05:09] <someone3> ardchoille, is 'g' in gparted gnome??
[05:09] <Jordan_U> lgc: install Ubuntu-desktop
[05:10] <ardchoille> someone3: I believe so, it is a gnome2 app
[05:10] <felixhummel> jazzman, or just do: cat /proc/ide/*/model
[05:10] <felixhummel> ;)
[05:10] <lgc> Jordan_U, as for Windoze files, I tried to open a .pps file.
[05:10] <jazzman> thnx that worked btw it was scsi
[05:11] <felixhummel> five_laptop, try apt-cache search vncviewer
[05:11] <someone3> u see, loco is having problems running X, so gparted doesn't work
[05:11] <zer> need help with install
[05:12] <Onburiiku> That was weird
[05:12] <Onburiiku> anyway
[05:12] <oljanx> another noob question:  how can I make my NTFS partition writable from linux?
[05:12] <lgc> Jordan_U, I would've thought apt-get would simply replace the old Open Office package with the new one (and all the ancillaries).
[05:12] <zer> it wont resize the ntfs partion
[05:12] <someone3> oljanx, not recomended
[05:12] <Onburiiku> I'm hoping someone can help me fix this. If not I'm going ot give up and re-install
[05:13] <Onburiiku> anyway
[05:13] <BluesKaj> gparted is a live cd that you download and burn...yer trying to use qtparted
[05:13] <Jordan_U> lgc: It should have
[05:13] <oljanx> bummer
[05:13] <mojo__> jazzman: yeah the stuff on /proc ..um i feel dumb.  there are some S.M.A.R.T. utilities for linux too but i think they may be for monitoring temperature and other metrics... m
[05:13] <Onburiiku> Long story short
[05:13] <lgc> Jordan_U, by the way, I couldn't install ubuntu-desktop: broken dependencies. How do I fix that?
[05:13] <Onburiiku> 'I have Ubuntu on an external hard drive. A few nights ago I put it into hibernate, and when I turned it back on, it wouldn't boot.
[05:13] <Onburiiku> Is there any way I can fix this?
[05:13] <ardchoille> BluesKaj: gparted is a partitioning app, it's in the repos
[05:13] <Jordan_U> lgc: Have you used Automatix or any third party repositories?
[05:13] <Onburiiku> I'm running Dapper Drake, and I can access the drive from my LiveCD.
[05:14] <mojo__> http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ is what i was thinking of
[05:14] <unikon> in Xubuntu and Ubuntu anyone ever have an issue of opening up a folder on the desktop scroll halfway down and it closes by itself?
[05:14] <someone3> Onburiiku, where does it stop??
[05:14] <lgc> Jordan_U, let me paste you my sources.list, if it helps.
[05:14] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | oljanx
[05:14] <ubotu> oljanx: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[05:14] <BluesKaj> no kidding ardchoille, it's also a live cd that you can use outside of the OS , which better for partitioning
[05:14] <CodyLoco> I'll be back in a bit when my backup is done
[05:15] <CodyLoco> thanks again everyone
[05:15] <someone3> k, loco
[05:15] <Moosejaw> i wish the guy i was trying to help would come back and let me know if it worked
[05:15] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Very quickly. I get the typical BIOS startup screen ("DELL" in big letters with a smal progress bar), then it evidently boots to the external drive, although absolutely nothing happens. If I wait a while I get a message saying "Press F1 to retry boot"
[05:15] <oljanx> Jordan_U:  Thanks, I'll try it out on a system with no important data first.
[05:16] <oljanx> has anyone used and experienced trouble with ntfs-3g before?
[05:16] <Onburiiku> Someone3: The blank screen has nothing but a blinking bar, like a command line, but nothing happens when I type except a system beep.
[05:16] <BluesKaj> !grub
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <someone3> u could try a mbr fix
[05:17] <someone3> but thats extreme
[05:17] <Jordan_U> oljanx: According to the site there are no known problems with it but it has some limitations ( for esoteric things you probably don't need ) I would read the wiki
[05:17] <gongzero> oljanx: I'm curious about the same thing.  I'm trying to switch over to Ubuntu completely on my laptop
[05:18] <Onburiiku> Someone3: What is an mbr fix?
[05:18] <five_laptop> hmm... ok... why would "remote desktop" only allow me to control my desktop from the localhost?
[05:18] <lgc> !paste
[05:18] <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)
[05:19] <someone3> where did u put the boot part of OS (i.e. MBR or BOOT sector)
[05:19] <someone3> ?
[05:19] <someone3> when u installed
[05:19] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Uhh... did I do that in the partition phase?
[05:20] <someone3> ya, u decide there
[05:20] <someone3> just after partitioning
[05:20] <lgc> Jordan_U, try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4546/, please.
[05:20] <Onburiiku> I don't know...
[05:21] <someone3> thats the only OS on this drive?
[05:21] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Yes, it's the only OS on the drive. It;s an external.
[05:22] <someone3> ok, here's an idea. . .
[05:22] <rizzo> Do I need to restart gnome for keybinding changes in metacity to take effect?
[05:22] <cables> When using NetworkManager, my connection sometimes drops for several seconds. The lights on my wireless card stop, and I can't load any pages on the internet, but the connection indicator in the notification area still shows connection. Does anyone know what's going on, or how I can fix it?
[05:23] <rizzo> I want gnome-launch-box to launch on <Alt>Space
[05:23] <Jordan_U> lgc: Try running "sudo apt-get -f install"
[05:23] <oljanx> gongzero:  I hear ya, unfortunately I have to keep the dozer around few things still, I'm trying to reduce the number of those things as much as possible...
[05:23] <someone3> edit the file /boot/grub/grub.conf or something like it
[05:23] <someone3> add the timer
[05:23] <bulmer> cables: sh..t happens, signal is low, so it locks your systems i/o
[05:24] <Onburiiku> Add the timer?
[05:24] <cables> bulmer, this only happens when I use NetworkManager...
[05:24] <kris_> why wouldn't i have any publically open ports when i'm running httpd and identd? locally they're open.. and when i run firestarter its blocking both those ports, so its coming through my router.. but my daemons aren't giving any response?
[05:24] <gongzero> oljanx: Same here.  I'm still quite a n00b to Linux in general but I'm liking what I see so far.  ;)
[05:24] <lgc> Jordan_U, same sh*t. Did you see anything strange in my file?
[05:24] <GMWeezel> Has anyone had had any experience with Realtek ALC861 HD sound card with Ubuntu; I am having some sound issues.
[05:24] <someone3> Onburiiku??
[05:24] <bulmer> cables: only one apps should have access to your wifi, network manager or ... they can not both be controlling your nic
[05:25] <Jordan_U> lgc: no, can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install" ?
[05:25] <someone3> ya
[05:25] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Yes? I don't know what you mean by add the timer.
[05:25] <bulmer> cables: and why do you concern so much about it?
[05:25] <someone3> with a line:
[05:25] <someone3> timeout=5
[05:25] <cables> bulmer, when I disable network-manager and use the gnome one, the signal never drops... using NetworkManager, it does.
[05:25] <lgc> Jordan_U, do you read Spanish?
[05:26] <Jordan_U> lgc: No
[05:26] <bulmer> cables: what are you trying to achieve?
[05:26] <Jordan_U> lgc: I can probably get the gist of it though
[05:26] <Onburiiku> Someone3: I don't see grub.conf. Or grub.anything
[05:26] <CaptainMorgan> Is it possible to put the Home folder on the desktop? It appears that by default it is not as such and I cannot find the setting under Administration or Preferences.
[05:26] <lgc> Jordan_U, then let me give it a try...
[05:26] <someone3> in /boot/grub ???
[05:26] <cables> bulmer, here's what happens: Using the normal networking software built into Ubuntu, I get perfect signal. Using NetworkManager, my signal will often drop for a few seconds. This is a problem.
[05:26] <kris_> really, can someone please help me out
[05:26] <cables> !NetworkManager | bulmer
[05:26] <ubotu> bulmer: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[05:27] <Falstius> CaptainMorgan: ln -s ~ ~/Desktop/home
[05:27] <kris_> i don't understand why my daemons aren't responding, when the ports are open on my router
[05:27] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Nope. No grub.anything in /boot/grub.
[05:27] <Jordan_U> CaptainMorgan: Just make a symlink ( like an alias or shortcut )
[05:27] <kris_> and they're open locally
[05:27] <CaptainMorgan> ah, thanks Jordan_U
[05:27] <someone3> how about menu.lst
[05:27] <CaptainMorgan> thanks FallenHi1okiri
[05:27] <CaptainMorgan> err.. Falstius
[05:27] <lgc> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4548/, if you may.
[05:28] <CyberSlug> join #ubuntu+1
[05:28] <Onburiiku> someone3: Nope.
[05:28] <bulmer> cables network manager is used to manage..software built in to ubuntu (which one is that?)  drop for a few seconds? are you transferring files that it concerns you too much?
[05:28] <someone3> how many files are in the dir
[05:29] <Onburiiku> Oh wait wait yes yes
[05:29] <Onburiiku> Menu.ist
[05:29] <Onburiiku> I missed it
[05:29] <Onburiiku> or lst
[05:29] <someone3> lol
[05:29] <Onburiiku> >.>
[05:29] <someone3> its a link
[05:29] <Jordan_U> lgc: and that was from running exactly "sudo apt-get -f install" without any packages, ie *not* "sudo apt-get -f install ubuntu-desktop" ?
[05:30] <cables> bulmer, I'm just thinking there must be a bug... I know that network-manager is using the same drivers as the regular Ubuntu manager, but I'm consistently getting worse wireless performance using networkmanager. If it's dropping connections more than the one built into the system, there's a bug. Maybe its' using a different version/configuration of madwifi?
[05:30] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Should I click it? Edit it?
[05:30] <atrus> totem-xine doesn't seem to be using Xv here. in particular, scaling up to full screen is ALOT slower with totem-xine than it is with xine. suggestions?
[05:30] <lgc> Jordan_U, no, that was from ...-f install ubuntu-...
[05:31] <skelter> hey - I have a disk with two partitions, one of which is my /home, the other is windows. What's the best way to merge these two together to make a larger /home (without losing the current /home)?
[05:31] <someone3> edit, ya
[05:32] <Jordan_U> lgc: give the output of just "sudo apt-get -f install" say no if it asks to remove anything so I can check to see if it's a required package or not
[05:32] <Onburiiku> timeout=5?
[05:32] <mborohov> hey guys, so i have /dev/sdb1 as another ext3 partition...i threw it into my fstab and it mounts fine, but i want it to be rw by ALL users, not just root. any ideas on how to do that?
[05:32] <bulmer> cables: again, you dont have a power meter to accurately measure milliwatts detected by your nic, they are too close, those indicators are just there like an idiot light..not an exact measurements
[05:32] <shatrat> skelter, you mean format the windows one and use a logical volume to make /home take up both disks?
[05:32] <someone3> any u like, it's in seconds
[05:32] <skelter> shatrat: something like that
[05:32] <bulmer> cables: so blaming one over the other, is futile
[05:32] <lgc> Jordan_U, wlithout the package name it says "0 updated, 0 to be installed, 0 to be eliminated and 4 not updated".
[05:32] <atlantia> is there anyway to disable dma on a drive in a running environment??
[05:33] <shatrat> skelter, not sure what the easiest way would be, try reading up on LVM
[05:33] <lgc> Jordan_U, it runs w/o errors.
[05:33] <someone3> atlantia, most probably a reboot needed
[05:33] <cables> bulmer, it's not that it says I'm getting lower signal... it's that the connection is actually  completely dropping. As in, it stops working for about 10 seconds every few minutes. Switching between NetworkManager and the regular system, I've noticed that this NEVER happens when not using NetworkManager.
[05:34] <atlantia> someone3: i can reboot if needed
[05:34] <skelter> shatrat, so, i don't think LVM works on partitions that aren't part of the LVM structure from the get-go...this is a windows partition that predates my ubuntu install.
[05:34] <ardchoille> lgc: Have you done sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[05:34] <atlantia> someone3: whats the way to disable with reboot?
[05:34] <DPath> hello, #ubuntu. is there anyone that can help me with a problem? it's posted here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=354811
[05:34] <someone3> did u have to enter the line or was it in there??
[05:34] <cables> bulmer, according to this bug report, I'm right. There IS a problem with NetworkManager and madwifi. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/37821
[05:34] <ardchoille> lgc: You're using debian repos in Ubuntu?
[05:34] <lgc> ardchoille, yes, as of today (I upgraded to Dapper).
[05:34] <shatrat> skelter, might not be an easy way to do it in that case.  I thought you could add new disks to a volume easily, but maybe i was wrong
[05:34] <someone3> uhh, wot???
[05:35] <ardchoille> lgc: Using debian repos in Ubuntu is a really bad idea.
[05:35] <someone3> shutdown -a
[05:35] <someone3> ?
[05:35] <cables> bulmer, I should have looked there first... sorry
[05:35] <skelter> shatrat, it is likely you know more than me. my experience is very slight.
[05:35] <lgc> ardchoille, only some...
[05:35] <bulmer> cables: okay, i believe you..
[05:35] <mborohov> hey guys, so i have /dev/sdb1 as another ext3 partition...i threw it into my fstab and it mounts fine, but i want it to be rw by ALL users, not just root. any ideas on how to do that?
[05:35] <shatrat> skelter, well, I've never actually used it.  Im a jbod guy, I just add new disks and mount them wherever I see fit ;)
[05:35] <ardchoille> lgc: You're asking for problems, but it's your computer.
[05:35] <someone3> ahhhh
[05:35] <someone3> sry, i get u
[05:35] <PantsTheLegend> Is there any way to get SLI working in Ubuntu? When I start up my friends Laptop with SLI, it won't run (And his Bios won't let him turn off SLI, we had to rip his laptop open and take out a card to get Ubuntu Working)
[05:36] <lgc> ardchoille, Jordan_U, BRB!
[05:36] <someone3> disable in BIOS
[05:36] <bulmer> mborohov: there are mount options like mask  ..man mount
[05:36] <EdLin> lgc: if you mess up apt-get by having broken dependencies, you pretty much have hosed an important operating system feature.
[05:36] <skelter> shatrat, i didn't ask for LVM or anything specifically. i just resized the partition when i installed ubuntu. does that mean i am using LVM?
[05:36] <Jordan_U_> lgc: What wasn't updated?
[05:36] <skelter> PantsTheLegend, you have a laptop with two video cards? jeez
[05:37] <atlantia> ok i got lost, is ide=nodma the proper way to disable dma or in BIOS?
[05:37] <PantsTheLegend> Nah, Skelter, it's my friends.
[05:37] <shatrat> skelter, no I dont believe so, but i dont know much about it.
[05:37] <someone3> atlantia??
[05:37] <PantsTheLegend> He has SLI in his Sager M5950
[05:37] <shatrat> PantsTheLegend, the official nvidia drivers probably support SLI, I dont really know though.
[05:37] <skelter> PantsTheLegend, well I am more just wondering why such a thing exists
[05:37] <Erbas> is there a way to install ubuntu from the cd directly, without it loading up the "on-cd" version?
[05:37] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Hmm.. This file is interesting. Look. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4552/
[05:37] <weijie902> i read somewhere about this thingy that allows 2 video cards to be used for better performance
[05:37] <PantsTheLegend> Haha@Skelter it sure does.
[05:37] <shatrat> skelter, because people want to try and fit a desktop into a notebook case and dont think about batteries
[05:37] <EdLin> Erbas: yes, the alternate installer
[05:38] <Jordan_U_> lgc: And did it give any reason why those packages weren't upgraded?
[05:38] <PantsTheLegend> Alright Thanks Shatrat, is there a series of Console commands I can enter in the recovery console to setup the nVidia Drivers for that?
[05:38] <skelter> I was thinking about heat, really
[05:38] <Onburiiku> Someone3: It says something about "saved", and not booting. Maybe that has something to do with my problem.
[05:38] <bulmer> weijie902: management is telling you that! you have two monitors so you can be twice as productive... lolz
[05:38] <weijie902> yeah a hot laptop can reduce battery capacity
[05:38] <Erbas> edlin: how do i access that?
[05:39] <EdLin> Erbas: its an iso, it's at the same place you downloaded Ubuntu's live installer.
[05:39] <weijie902> bulmer: i need another pair of eyes then.. and a way to split my concentration int 2
[05:39] <shatrat> PantsTheLegend, well, you can run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and use the vesa driver or something to get limited graphical functionality, and then use the nvidia how to to install the driver.
[05:39] <PantsTheLegend> Alright Thanks Shat.
[05:39] <someone3> ya, interesting file, looks like it was modified
[05:39] <weijie902> PantsTheLegend: or apt-get install lynx to surf the web in command line
[05:39] <bulmer> weijie902: actually, you know those Forex Traders, they have like five or six monitors during trading hours
[05:39] <someone3> u rebooted already??
[05:40] <Onburiiku> someone3: Nope, not yet.
[05:40] <shatrat> Does anybody know how to edit what applicatisn are used to open different filetypes?  the right click menu is showing 3 entries for mplayer and it opens with totem if I just left click.
[05:40] <weijie902> shatrat: right click, propreties
[05:40] <Jordan_U_> shatrat: Right click on the file and go to properties
[05:40] <shatrat> I just thought of that, I swear
[05:40] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Hmm... Maybe it needs to be un-modified.
[05:40] <weijie902> somthing like that
[05:41] <shatrat> thanks weijie902 Jordan_U
[05:41] <someone3> no, no
[05:41] <Arigato> what is the command line equivalent of end process?
[05:41] <Erbas> found it, thanks edlin
[05:42] <someone3> i don't know what numbers to use exactly
[05:42] <someone3> so. . .
[05:42] <heatman> could someone tell me how i would go about to install KDE in ubuntu so that i may choose between KDE or Gnome at the boot up?
[05:42] <shatrat> Arigato, killall processname or kill process ID
[05:42] <kerpal> can anyone help put me in the right direction towards trouble shooting a "Failed to mount device, input/output error?"
[05:42] <kilgore> heatman: go to synaptic and install the kubuntu-desktop package
[05:42] <shatrat> Arigato, you can kill it using k in top as well.
[05:42] <atlantia> meh we'll see how this goes, have a buddy who has a crapstor {tm} drive headin south, tons of DMA i/o errors... gonna have him reboot -DMA and try to get a small piece of data off
[05:43] <someone3> u'll reboot, during the count down u'll stop it to bring up a menu. . .
[05:43] <heatman> Kerpal: tyvm
[05:43] <Onburiiku> ?
[05:43] <Arigato> shatrat, k in top?
[05:43] <mborohov> im having serious issues with this and i dont know why. i can mount it as root just fine, but I want my regular user to be able to create/edit files/folders in this mounted dir. how do i do that? the man page isnt being particularly helpful
[05:43] <kerpal> heatman, what do you mean by that
[05:43] <Jordan_U> Arigato: top is a terminal app
[05:44] <someone3> Onburiiku, following??
[05:44] <shatrat> Arigato, top is a comand like utility for viewing processes, and you can sort them by user using u and kill specific processes using k
[05:44] <Onburiiku> someone3: Not exactly...
[05:44] <kitche> mborohov: you can use umask or chown but the umask way is safer if you mess up
[05:44] <heatman> oops meant ty Kilgore
[05:44] <mborohov> kitche: how do i use the umask?
[05:45] <someone3> u added a 5 second delay (or was it originally there) so u can get to the menu
[05:45] <Jordan_U> mborohov: To try to point you in the right direction, man fstab
[05:45] <Onburiiku> It was a 10 second delay
[05:45] <kitche> !permission | mborohov you want the filepermissions one then click the volume permission in the page that comes up
[05:45] <ubotu> mborohov you want the filepermissions one then click the volume permission in the page that comes up: 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
[05:45] <Onburiiku> but I don't think it'd doing anything
[05:45] <Onburiiku> after BIOS starts up, I get nothing but a blank screen
[05:45] <someone3> so, then u can just close menu.lst
[05:46] <someone3> i think u should try to reinstall grub
[05:46] <Onburiiku> Good idea.
[05:46] <Onburiiku> How do I do that?
[05:46] <Jordan_U> !grub | Onburiiku
[05:46] <ubotu> Onburiiku: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:47] <Onburiiku> Thanks
[05:47] <Onburiiku> I'll try that
[05:47] <someone3> ya, so
[05:47] <someone3> do*
[05:49] <mborohov> mkdir: cannot create directory `Music': Permission denied
[05:49] <mborohov> i still get that
[05:49] <mborohov> my line in fstab is:
[05:49] <mborohov> /dev/sdb1       /media/stuff    ext3    rw,defaults,umask=000   0       0

[05:51] <eternalswd> does anyone know what defines a trivial method that can be used from gpl code without permission necessary?
[05:52] <cris> hello?
[05:52] <eternalswd> hi cris
[05:52] <cris> hi
[05:52] <cris> nice, this work
[05:52] <cris> irc client
[05:53] <someone3> eternal, probably something like string routines, things that can't be done in very many ways
[05:53] <crazy_bus> Does anyone know how to compile gimp 2.3.  I'm trying to compile it but I'm getting this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4554/
[05:53] <cris> strings routines?
[05:53] <cris> waht are you talking about?
[05:53] <myconid> I am trying to load beryl on my Dell Latitude D800, and when I run beryl-manager the screen goes green, and displays itself twice.
[05:53] <Pelo> cris,  this is the help channel for ubuntu and ubuntu related things
[05:53] <someone3> u fell in the middle, cris
[05:54] <eternalswd> hmm, think hiding the cursor using an empty pixmap qualifies?
[05:54] <calvarez> question: I am trying to change the default program used to open a type of file. I go to a file of that type, I right-click and select properties, then Open With, but it doesn't allow me to make any changes. This is edgy/gnome
[05:54] <cris> i manage to get beryl running one time
[05:54] <someone3> a-ha
[05:54] <calvarez> why won't it let me change the app that opens that file type?
[05:54] <cris> its, really amazing, but then its crashes
[05:54] <myconid> it wont evne load for me
[05:54] <calvarez> myconid, I am running  beryl on a lattitude D800 without problems
[05:55] <atlantia> /dev/hdd1: Input/output error
[05:55] <atlantia> mount: /dev/hdd1: can't read superblock
[05:55] <myconid> calvarez: nvidia 4200go? 1920x1200?
[05:55] <Pelo> crazy_bus,  did you do  ./configure first to make sure you have all the dependencies or did you jump straight to make ?
[05:55] <atlantia> anyone know if disabling dma would help that situation
[05:55] <calvarez> 5650go 1650x1050
[05:55] <cris> well, ok, im an electronic engineering student, does any of you knows a multisim or electronic workbech for lnux?
[05:55] <e\ectro_> has anyone else used Rdesktop with Beryl running?  I am noticing some sluggish rendering and my CPU jumps to 100% when I try, for example, to delete mass amounts of email and it refreshs to show them missing.
[05:55] <myconid> better video, crappier screen :)
[05:55] <Onburiiku> I'm going to try a reboot
[05:55] <Onburiiku> Someone3: I'll let you knwo if it works
[05:55] <someone3> Onburiiku, k
[05:55] <calvarez> I also use rdesktop and beryl, no problem here
[05:56] <e\ectro_> calvarez: nvidia?
[05:56] <calvarez> yes
[05:56] <calvarez> GeForce Go FX 5650
[05:56] <e\ectro_> any special rdesktop settings?
[05:56] <e\ectro_> or Xorg settings for the nvidia
[05:56] <calvarez> no, just max settings
[05:57] <calvarez> no, only the settings necessary for beryl
[05:57] <crazy_bus> Pelo: I typed ./configure, make, sudo make install
[05:57] <calvarez> I forgot the name, somthing about ARGB visuals
[05:57] <calvarez> meh, he left :p
[05:57] <myconid> even craps out at 800x600
[05:58] <calvarez> how do I change the default application for a specific filetype in GNOME/edgy?
[05:58] <myconid> no GLX_EXT something somethign somethign comes up when i run it
[05:59] <calvarez> myconid, I don't if I can help you, doesn't Geforce 4xxx need nvidia legacy drivers? I use most currrent one
[05:59] <myconid> Im using the beta drivers?
[05:59] <calvarez> beta drivers?
[05:59] <myconid> echo
[05:59] <skelter> echo
[05:59] <calvarez> those don't work with your card man
[05:59] <myconid> thats cool.
[05:59] <myconid> calvarez: the 4200 is 'legacy' already?
[05:59] <calvarez> not sure
[05:59] <calvarez> I think it is
[06:00] <skelter> pre 6xxx is legacy i believe
[06:00] <calvarez> I'm sure FX aren't legacy
[06:00] <calvarez> I don't know about 4xxx
[06:00] <Oni-Dracula> FX seem like legacy...
[06:00] <AzMoo> myconid, 4200 is legacy. Anything below the "forceware" series is.
[06:00] <Oni-Dracula> my FX5600 is lacking on most hardware specs
[06:00] <myconid> so it seems
[06:01] <calvarez> Oni-Dracula, 5600 is old
[06:01] <myconid> what do i apt-get for nvidia-legacy?
[06:01] <calvarez> Oni-Dracula, 5600 it's a fine card though
[06:01] <calvarez> nvidia-legacy-glx I think
[06:01] <calvarez> use synaptic
[06:01] <shaneCO> what do I have to do to be able to view my shared files on my windows computer on my network?
[06:01] <cables> !enter
[06:01] <AzMoo> I have a 5700LE and it does everything I need it to. Which is basically beryl.
[06:01] <shaneCO> with ubuntu
[06:01] <cables> shaneCO, it's already there
[06:01] <myconid> shaneCO: a second livecd
[06:02] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:02] <Onburiiku> I'm back
[06:02] <cables> shaneCO, go to Places>Network Servers
[06:02] <cables> Onburiiku, are you the "hibernate guy?"
[06:02] <Onburiiku> Someone3: Sorry to say , it didn't work... :/
[06:02] <Onburiiku> Cables, yes, I am.
[06:02] <Oni-Dracula> calvarez, yeah I hope to upgrade it sometime.  My board/mem/cpu first though.  Still got a 2.0 ghz athlon XP 333 mhz FSB
[06:03] <calvarez> hmm, why 'hibernate guy"?
[06:03] <someone3> problem with it
[06:03] <Onburiiku> Been working on this problem since sunday
[06:03] <cables> Onburiiku, how did you kill grub?
[06:03] <calvarez> that reminds me, I also have problems with hibernation
[06:03] <cables> calvarez, he was having problems bringing Ubuntu out of hibernate
[06:03] <Oni-Dracula> hibernate is the most useless feature of an OS
[06:03] <shaneCO> cables: when I do that it shows me windows network, but clicking on it does nothing, and it says 0 bites
[06:03] <Onburiiku> How did I kill grub?
[06:03] <calvarez> Oni-Dracula, wtf
[06:03] <calvarez> Oni-Dracula, is perfect for laptops
[06:03] <cables> Onburiiku, I thought I saw a message that said you messed up GRUB.
[06:03] <Megaqwerty> I got a new keyboard and now alt-tab doesn't work...Ideas?
[06:04] <Oni-Dracula> calvarez, I find that the bootup time for ubuntu is about the same time for an un-hibernation
[06:04] <Onburiiku> I'm just trying everything to get this to work. I never messed up GRUB though.
[06:04] <JaZyOSX> i'm having a bit of a problem i was messing with installing ldap, cuz i wanted to use NIS, but now when ever i goto a terminal i get I HAVE NO NAME @myhost :
[06:04] <JaZyOSX> i get a pop up window (within gnome) about user root not exsisting
[06:04] <someone3> not grub, something
[06:04] <JaZyOSX> and i can't boot into ubuntu i get an error about LDAP server not ready
[06:04] <someone3> reinstalling grub was sugestion
[06:04] <cables> Onburiiku, ah. It would probably make more sense to back up your Home folder and reinstall the OS.
[06:05] <Onburiiku> Thats what I was thinking of doing
[06:05] <someone3> LOL
[06:05] <someone3> nice one cables
[06:05] <cables> Onburiiku, it would take a 10th of the time it's taken you to try to wake up the machine...
[06:05] <BreakDecks> Ok, my System Monitor says I have 16 Billion Gigabytes of writeable memory...  what exactly is happening here?
[06:05] <myconid> edgy doesnt ahve nvidia legacy drivers :(
[06:05] <deafboy> I'm having trouble sharing files with a friend of mine who has a windows pc
[06:05] <Onburiiku> Good point.
[06:05] <cables> BreakDecks, you sure it's not bytes? Maybe your computer won the lottery or something...
[06:06] <calvarez> how do I change the default application for a specific filetype in GNOME/edgy?
[06:06] <cables> deafboy, how so? He can't open your files?
[06:06] <someone3> but then, that's not the way to become a guru, is it, cables
[06:06] <someone3> ?
[06:06] <cables> calvarez, right click>open with>choose
[06:06] <BreakDecks> Nautilus has 16738187209.5 GiB Writeable Memory according to System Monitor
[06:06] <someone3> hehe
[06:06] <Megaqwerty> can anyone help me re-enable alt-tab? It doesn't work
[06:06] <cables> someone3 :)
[06:06] <deafboy> cables: i want to transfer a file to his computer
[06:06] <calvarez> cables, it won't do it
[06:06] <calvarez> cables, the radio button doesn't change
[06:06] <cables> calvarez, that's a bug or something...
[06:07] <cables> deafboy, through what?
[06:07] <deafboy> cable: a wired network
[06:07] <BreakDecks> This glitch isn't causing any problems, not yet anyway, but it certainly is doing something it shouldn't.
[06:07] <deafboy> cable: i can see his computer
[06:07] <shaneCO> that's what I'm trying to do too cables
[06:07] <deafboy> cables: i just don't know how to connect to it
[06:07] <Onburiiku> Okay, time for a re-install
[06:07] <Onburiiku> Thank you everyone for all of your help
[06:07] <cables> deafboy, how are you trying to transfer? over shared files on a network?
[06:07] <someone3> np
[06:08] <Megaqwerty> Can anyone help me with my issue with alt-tab?
[06:08] <someone3> L8R
[06:08] <cables> shaneCO, no idea about your problem... it should work out of the box.
[06:08] <Onburiiku> ...meh, I'll do it tommorow...
[06:08] <Onburiiku> xD
[06:08] <cables> deafboy, you need to be more specific...
[06:08] <someone3> oh, lol, k
[06:08] <shaneCO> k thanks cables
[06:08] <atlantia> anyone here got bad drive expereince i can bound ideas off of?
[06:08] <myconid> just say it.
[06:09] <deafboy> cables: i have a movie im trying to transfer to him, we are on the same wired lan at college
[06:09] <Fedge>  I'm looking for help getting 6.10 installed.  I choose "Install to Hard Disk" and then the screen goes black until I reboot.  Any ideas?
[06:09] <cables> atlantia, my little brother jumped on my laptop, killing the HD.
[06:09] <onefish> I'd like to be able to change screensaver settings.  But the screensaver dialog doesn't have that option, you only get the default screensaver. :(  Is there a workaround?
[06:09] <cables> deafboy, are you using FTP? Shared folders? Email?
[06:09] <cables> onefish, it should let you... it does on my system... something's definitely broken.
[06:10] <deafboy> cables: shared folders
[06:10] <bulmer> Fedge: what kind of computer do you have?
[06:10] <atlantia> cables: right now i am trying my damndest to disable dma with n o luck
[06:10] <Bhaskar> where can i find libgcj for jre 1.4.2 in ubuntu 6.06?
[06:10] <cables> atlantia, i guess my story won't help you...
[06:10] <Fedge> PIII 800 MHz, 512 MB, 40GB HDD
[06:11] <atlantia> cables: ehhehe
[06:11] <xerophyte_> does anybody know any good nice theme for gnome .. not fancy ..but clean ?
[06:11] <cables> atlantia, are you using hdparm?
[06:12] <cables> xerophyte, Candido
[06:12] <bulmer> atlantia: hdparm command did not allow dis-abling of dma?
[06:12] <atlantia> cables: tried hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd, said "off" rebooted, with ide=nodma at grub and still opcode errors show up for DMA
[06:12] <eugene> where can i get a listof cammands for ubuntu
[06:12] <deafboy> cables: i can see his computer when i go through "connect to server'  but i can't connect to it
[06:12] <atlantia> bulmer: hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd
[06:12] <cables> atlantia, hdparm doesn't stick... i think you need to change it in hdparm.conf or something like that.
[06:12] <someone3> atlantia, disable in BIOS
[06:13] <bulmer> Fedge: sometime the cdrom goes haywire...is the hdd on same controller as the cdrom?
[06:13] <cables> deafboy, how can't you?
[06:13] <atlantia> someone3: bios has a bunch of options for DMA but no disable
[06:13] <atlantia> letme have the tech on the remote end look harder
[06:13] <someone3> put it in pio then
[06:13] <Fedge> bulmer: No, cdrom is master on one IDE channel, HDD is master on the other IDE channel
[06:13] <deafboy> cables: it says that "school" (the name of his computer) is not a folder
[06:14] <Bhaskar> bieb, where can i find libgcj for jre 1.4.2 in ubuntu 6.06
[06:14] <someone3> bulmer, hda == primary master, add == secondary slave
[06:14] <cables> deafboy, no idea... samba can be weird sometimes
[06:14] <someone3> hdd*
[06:15] <someone3> deafboy, append a shared directory name to the path
[06:15] <bulmer> Fedge: how many times this happened, btw it took me like 10 tries before i was able to install  :(
[06:15] <eugene> can someone help me with beryl
[06:15] <someone3> u can't write on the computer
[06:15] <mikejanssen> hmm
[06:15] <ardchoille> Back in a bit :)
[06:15] <mikejanssen> how would i go about triple booting xp, vista and ubuntu?
[06:16] <Megaqwerty> eugene: what is your problem?
[06:16] <someone3> it has to go in a sub folder
[06:16] <myconid> mikejanssen: carefully.
[06:16] <Fedge> bulmer: Every single version of Ubuntu I've tried..... Fedora installs fine, XP installs fine.  It's just Ubuntu
[06:16] <eugene> i donwload theme but when i try to apply it nothing happens
[06:16] <atlantia> bulmer: seems hdparm says dma=off for that drive now
[06:16] <Fedge> I'm using a PCI nVidia 5200
[06:16] <Fedge> i could swap out for an older AGP card perhaps
[06:16] <atlantia> bulmer: you know of any other way to recover a file from a drive that is in this state? Seems the superblock cannot be read
[06:16] <eugene> Mega
[06:17] <someone3> fedge, try installing in text mode
[06:17] <bulmer> Fedge,  I have great difficulty with ubuntu installs too
[06:17] <atlantia> bulmer: thinking ddrescue old drive to a new one and trying again
[06:17] <Fedge> how do i install in text mode?
[06:17] <myconid> how do i install my :libc development package:
[06:17] <Bhaskar> Fedge,  where can i find libgcj for jre 1.4.2 in ubuntu 6.06
[06:17] <bulmer> atlantia: can you fsck the drive? before it is mounted off course
[06:18] <someone3> at the boot: prompt u can usualy press F2 - F5 for additional instructions
[06:18] <someone3> try that
[06:18] <bulmer> Fedge: one of those ubuntu disk has text mode..i cant recall which
[06:18] <eugene> how do you apply theme when using beryl
[06:18] <Megaqwerty> sorry eugene, you need to say my name in the chat when talking to me
[06:19] <Megaqwerty> eugene: I have like 13 windows open, so I'm sorry about that. You need to import the themes using emerald
[06:19] <bulmer> Bhaskar I can swear that gcj jre is stock with dapper 6.06..i saw it earlier during my install..I myself is trying to get ubuntu to recognize the Sun java jre
[06:19] <Fedge> bulmer: Text mode is a no go, i'm gunna throw in my other GPU
[06:19] <eugene> Mega, when i click fetch theme in emearld nothing happens
[06:20] <Flannel> !java | bulmer, the command is on this page (update-alternatives)
[06:20] <someone3> fedge
[06:20] <Flannel> er..  hmm.
[06:20] <Flannel> !java
[06:20] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:20] <atlantia> bulmer will try, tech on local side says he did, i shall try again
[06:20] <someone3> try using vesa driver
[06:20] <AzMoo> eugene, say the complete name. That way alert him to the fact that you've said something.
[06:21] <bulmer> !java | bulmer
[06:21] <Megaqwerty> eugene: are you trying to get one specific theme you have already downloaded?
[06:21] <Fedge> someone3: is the vesa driver on the 6.10 desktop or server CD?
[06:21] <eugene> Megaqwerty, When i click fetch theme in emerarld nothing happens
[06:22] <Megaqwerty> hm....
[06:22] <Megaqwerty> lemme check mine
[06:22] <someone3> i suppose desktop, but i dont know
[06:22] <someone3> it should come with every X server
[06:22] <mikejanssen> so no real way to triple boot......?
[06:23] <Flannel> mikejanssen: sure there is.  It's identical to dualbooting.
[06:23] <Megaqwerty> eugene: you need to install the subversion packages from synaptic
[06:23] <mikejanssen> but last time i tried i messed up xp
[06:23] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:23] <Flannel> mikejanssen: oh, there may be no way to have both XP and Vista... I don't know.
[06:23] <mikejanssen> hehe
[06:23] <Flannel> mikejanssen: but, As for linux/grub, they don't care.
[06:23] <Fedge> someone3: i'm not sure i can get far enough to use the vesa driver.  When do I select it?
[06:24] <someone3> i belive at the boot: prompt
[06:24] <kerpal> anyone know how to trouble shoot a problem mounting an sata drive in gparted? i keep getting a input/output error
[06:24] <someone3> linux driver="vesa" or something
[06:24] <Fedge> ok, i'll try that, my other GPU didn't work
[06:25] <someone3> read about it
[06:25] <someone3> im not sure about it
[06:25] <onefish> cables: what screensaver manager are you using?
[06:25] <cables> onefish, whatever's in gnome...
[06:25] <eugene> Megaqwerty how owuld i install that by going into Synaptic package manager
[06:26] <someone3> kerpal, I/O error usualy means dead hardware
[06:26] <kerpal> the hardware is most certainly not dead, though
[06:26] <someone3> oh, it works on other OSs/machines
[06:26] <kerpal> it's my SATA drive, right
[06:26] <Megaqwerty> eugene: System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[06:27] <someone3> drivers probably
[06:27] <Megaqwerty> then you need to install the subversion packages
[06:27] <eugene> The name is subversion
[06:27] <Megaqwerty> eugene: I'll get you the names of them...hold on
[06:27] <kerpal> so if its a drivers conflict do i look for drivers for my SATA controller?
[06:27] <someone3> i would think so
[06:28] <someone3> the disk is internal??
[06:28] <kerpal> right, it's an SATA 300 gb seagate drive
[06:28] <myconid> ubuntu doesnt support seagate 300gb drives
[06:28] <kerpal> the controller is built into the motherboard
[06:29] <kerpal> oh really?
[06:29] <myconid> i had th esame issue.
[06:29] <Fedge> someone3: vesa didn't work, but i found something that did
[06:29] <kerpal> so i'm screwed if i try to use this drive?
[06:29] <myconid> no no im just kidding
[06:29] <someone3> ya i figured as much
[06:29] <kerpal> lol, then what's up
[06:29] <someone3> ya? wot?
[06:29] <Fedge> someone: changed from VGA to 1280x1024x32
[06:30] <Megaqwerty> eugene: yeah, it is called subversion
[06:30] <someone3> LOL, nice
[06:30] <Fedge> it must've been drawing at a VGA resolution out of range of my monitor
[06:30] <Megaqwerty> install it, and you should be good to go
[06:30] <kerpal> myconid did you just say that cause you have had bad luck with seagates or just to confuse me ;<
[06:30] <myconid> just to confuse you, im sorry.
[06:31] <kerpal> damn!
[06:31] <eugene> Megaqwerty i dont see it in synaptic package manager
[06:31] <kerpal> arggh i want to install ubuntu :( :(
[06:31] <someone3> kerpal, anyway u would probably need MoBo drivers
[06:32] <Megaqwerty> eugene: open up a terminal
[06:32] <lgc> Jordan_U, Hi, I'm back!
[06:32] <kerpal> well where do i get those drivers? i doubt MSI supports linux
[06:32] <Megaqwerty> eugene: and type this: "sudo apt-get install subversion" (after you close synaptic)
[06:33] <someone3> u don't have the CD?
[06:33] <Jordan_U> lgc: Hi, can you remind me what problem you are having?
[06:33] <onefish> hundreds of screensavers but no way to change their individual settings :(
[06:34] <Jordan_U> onefish: yea, I don't get that decision by Gnome either, it is possible to change them though it is annoying
[06:34] <eugene> megaqwerty ok now where do i go
[06:34] <Madpilot> onefish, known bug in the gnomescreensaver app - the developer of which is a bit strange
[06:35] <Megaqwerty> eugene: did you get subversion installed from the terminal?
[06:35] <eugene> No
[06:35] <lgc> Jordan_U, I ended up with broken dependencies. Someone in the channel told me it was a bad idea to have Debian repositories enabled in my sources.list...
[06:36] <eugene> megaqwerty correction yes i did
[06:36] <Jordan_U> onefish: According to the lead dev "Screensavers that need to be configured are inherently broken" ( paraphrased from memory )
[06:36] <shatrat> the world is full of wierd devs, and not enough valium
[06:36] <lgc> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4547/.
[06:36] <Jordan_U> lgc: I remember now, what packages were not being upgraded?
[06:37] <lgc> Jordan_U, serpentine and deskbar-applet. Only.
[06:38] <cables> ubuntu bug 40293
[06:38] <Jordan_U> lgc: I would remove those packages, remove the debian repository, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
[06:38] <Megaqwerty> eugene: then try restarting emerald and trying to update again
[06:38] <Jordan_U> lgc: Then try to install Ubuntu-desktop again
[06:38] <cables> sry, didn't mean to put that in this channel
[06:39] <lgc> Jordan_U, that sounds sound!

[06:40] <eugene> Megaqwerty: After i clcik fetch theme. Should the theme change right away
[06:41] <Megaqwerty> eugene: it might, but I doubt it
[06:41] <Megaqwerty> eugene: I think you will need to select it for it to change
[06:41] <Onburiiku> !french
[06:41] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:41] <eugene> Megaqwerty: How would i select it
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> eugene: just click it
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> in the window, it will show all of the themes you can choose from
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> simply select it, and it should change
[06:42] <eugene> Megaqwerty: when i click it nothing happens
[06:43] <CaptainMorgan> is anyone famiar with KDevelopC/C++ ? Im trying to see if there's a way to set Show Line Numbers by default; I don't see a setting in Configure/Settings.
[06:43] <lenoxx> what's the maximum priority that i can assign something with in update-alternatives?
[06:43] <lenoxx> is there some sort of MAX constant?
[06:44] <Megaqwerty> eugene: I am terribly busy now, but I think that if you joined #beryl, you could get more help, I'm sorry, but I really do have to leave
[06:44] <eugene> Megaqwerty: thank for your help
[06:44] <deafboy> cables: it was stupid norton that kept me out XD
[06:46] <kristofer> I found this howto.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto, but it's not complete. any ideas where I could find something similar, but finished?
[06:46] <eternalswd> is there a guide for determining the dependencies for checkinstall made debs.  I'd like to be able to share precompiled stuff with others.
[06:46] <_`XeOn_> hi
[06:47] <_`XeOn_> how to install a .tar.gz ??
[06:47] <someone3> deafboy, the movie went now??
[06:47] <blankfaze> does anyone know if it's possible to manually set the height of titlebars in gnome?  i like having a small font in the titlebar but it makes the min/max/close buttons too small
[06:47] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, I'm guessing you downloaded a source tarball of something?
[06:48] <_`XeOn_> an script for xchat
[06:48] <ardchoille> blankfaze: I know that it is not possible. But, you caninstall another window manager to replace MEtacity. I replaced MEtacity with openbox and it it quite themeable.
[06:48] <deafboy> someone3: yep
[06:48] <_`XeOn_> is in tar.gz
[06:49] <blankfaze> ardchoille:  that runs on top of gnome, right?  i.e. i would still have my gnome panels and such?
[06:49] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, ah, okay.  cd to the place where you saved and and use...  tar -xzf "file".tar.gz  ...replace "file" with the actual name
[06:50] <_`XeOn_> sorry i dont get it
[06:50] <nexis_> anyone know why i might not be able to accept dcc in xchat?
[06:50] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, okay, let's take it one step at a time.  open up a terminal
[06:50] <shatrat> _`XeOn_, I hate your name.
[06:50] <_`XeOn_> lol
[06:50] <_`XeOn_> its ok
[06:50] <ardchoille> blankfaze: Metacity runs as your default windowmanager in gnome. If you replace Metacity with openbox, you would still have all your gnome stuff. The only diff is that openbox would run and handle window management instead of Metacity.
[06:51] <eternalswd> nexis, connecting to someone or someone connecting to you?
[06:52] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, do you have a terminal open?
[06:52] <ardchoille> blankfaze: I believe you can do that with almost any window manager. If you're interested in seeing how it works, I wrote a tutorial about it:  http://www.gnomehelp.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Gnome212.WindowManager
[06:52] <_`XeOn_> yes
[06:52] <onefish> Jordan_U, madpilot: well that makes screensavers pretty much useless then, I really like to be able to change RSS options
[06:52] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, okay, do you know how to change directories via terminal?
[06:52] <fula> fgd
[06:52] <_`XeOn_> yes i did the first step
[06:52] <Madpilot> onefish, I know - like I said, the developer of gnome-screensaver is... odd. Jordan_U quoted him accurately
[06:53] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, okay, what's the name of the tar.gz file?
[06:53] <_`XeOn_> tar -xzf IRCinfo.tar.gz
[06:53] <_`XeOn_> its done
[06:53] <fula> any one have proplems whit p4m890m motherboard
[06:53] <_`XeOn_> now what?
[06:53] <dwi1> im having trouble installing hexen 2 it says gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[06:53] <dwi1> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[06:54] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, okay, ls -t should tell you the newest folder, I'm guessing it's IRCinfo
[06:54] <onefish> Jordan_U, what's the workaround?
[06:54] <_`XeOn_> yes it is
[06:54] <eternalswd> cd into it
[06:54] <onefish> conf file?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> onefish: They can be changed, I made a program last year to sync preferences from xscreensaver with gnome-screensaver http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198809
[06:54] <_`XeOn_> and now?
[06:54] <onefish> ok, thank you
[06:54] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, ls and look for a README
[06:55] <ducky> Hello hello good evening!
[06:55] <_`XeOn_> yes
[06:55] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, less README and see if it tells you how to install
[06:55] <fula_> rebbot problems whit mp4890m motherboard  msi
[06:56] <_`XeOn_> yeah ty
[06:56] <eternalswd> np
[06:56] <ducky> For much of the day today I have been installing Edgy64!  I finally have it up and running perfectly EXCEPT...

[06:57] <blankfaze> i like metacity.  i just want it to do more
[06:57] <eternalswd> fula_, are you using ubuntu?
[06:57] <ducky> Anyone dealt with that before?
[06:57] <pseudomorph> ducky: there is a great guide I have used many times on the forums here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191205
[06:57] <fula_> yes
[06:57] <fula_> an windows too
[06:58] <eternalswd> fula_, what kind of reboot problems are you having?
[06:58] <fula_> it reboot by it self
[06:58] <pseudomorph> ducky: it runs through flash, adobe, java, win32 stuff etc.
[06:58] <eternalswd> fula_, does it fully boot and then reboot at random times or does it reboot while booting?
[06:58] <ducky> pseudomorph: I have been looking at this howto, as well as this other one with a script that I have tried.
[06:59] <ducky> pseudomorph: I can't even get firefox32 installed.
[06:59] <fula_> random times
[06:59] <patbam> hi folks
[06:59] <eternalswd> fula_, does it do this for both OSes?
[07:00] <ducky> pseudomorph:  When I follow that howto, I get the two packages, the i32 and the firefox32 and every time and every package I download, it tells me the package is invalid.
[07:00] <someone3> hi
[07:00] <patbam> anyoen know why my sound would stop responding to the volume control? it's all the way up & i think i'm going to wake my neighbors :P
[07:00] <fula_> what?
[07:00] <pseudomorph> ducky: in the first post there is a link to win32codecs that shows how to install firefox32, have you looked at that?
[07:00] <eternalswd> fula_, you said you used Ubuntu and Windows, does it do it for both?
[07:00] <someone3> unplug the jack, and plug in a headset
[07:00] <fula_> yes sir
[07:00] <fula_> or ladie
[07:01] <pseudomorph> ducky: are you talking specifically about the mplayer plugin firefox32 or firefox32 itself?
[07:01] <_`XeOn_> whats a .pl ?
[07:01] <eternalswd> fula_, it's likely a hardware issue then.
[07:01] <someone3> (so u don't wake anyone, lol)
[07:01] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, is that from the xchat script?
[07:01] <vmware> Hi guys I am using vmware's browser appliance and I added edgy to the update source list and I ran into a problem and need your guys valuable help
[07:01] <someone3> xeon, it's a python script
[07:01] <_`XeOn_> yes
[07:01] <_`XeOn_> is another1
[07:02] <ducky> pseudomorph: Well, I want to get flash and stuff working, and most of the howtos including the one you sent says that it's usually easier to just install firefox32 with the plugins... and it links to this other howto that I've been trying to follow that doesn't make any sense to me somehow.
[07:02] <_`XeOn_> power.pl
[07:02] <fula_> look  yes  I read about  a bios problem whit my motherboard it is by the way msi p4890
[07:02] <fula_> p4m890m
[07:02] <pseudomorph> ducky: is this the one you're following? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537
[07:02] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, it's just a script file if it's just by itself, copy it to your ~/.xchat2/plugins/
[07:02] <_`XeOn_> nice
[07:03] <_`XeOn_> ok
[07:03] <lgc> Jordan_U, everything done, to no avail. I still end up with broken dependencies. However...
[07:03] <fula_> there is a way to check if the unbuntu is proprely install
[07:03] <ducky> pseudomorph: I was considering trying the w32 codecs one next, but it didn't seem necessary, since I can play wmv9 in vlc... although the previews don't show up... yes, that's the howto,
[07:03] <eternalswd> fula_, have you tried running the livecd for extended periods of time?  also have you tried running memtest?
[07:04] <pseudomorph> ducky: ok, you might have to bear with me, I'm new to doing this myself however I have installed ff32 a few times using this method... lets see what we can do
[07:04] <ducky> pseudomorph: I am patient and quite thankful.  ^_^
[07:04] <pseudomorph> ducky: have you enabled universe and multiverse repos?
[07:04] <ducky> pseudomorph: As I read that howto, it says:
[07:05] <ducky> oh yes repos enabled.
[07:05] <ducky> automatix installed and run and all.
[07:05] <fula_> no I have not I will try it thanks a lot
[07:05] <eternalswd> fula_, also, are you running your computer on fluctuating powerlines?
[07:05] <fula_> but what is memtest
[07:05] <ducky> pseudomorph: It says "Browser + Base Script Download = base-plugins-browsers-0-5.tar.gz"
[07:05] <fula_> I am obiusly a newbie
[07:05] <eternalswd> memtest tests your system's memory for possible failures
[07:05] <pseudomorph> ducky: forget the script, there is a manaul howto a little further down
[07:06] <ducky> pseudomorph: But I don't know what the hell it means by browser....
[07:06] <lgc> Jordan_U, I even did a dist-upgrade!
[07:06] <fula_> well not exacly but a I dont have ground connction
[07:06] <lgc> Jordan_U, (after correcting the sources file).
[07:07] <pseudomorph> ducky: as i said, forget the script, the manaul howto isn't hard to follow and works just as well.
[07:07] <Fedge> How do I install gnome on a basic console system?
[07:07] <rabidphage> greetings folks
[07:07] <eternalswd> fula_, I know when I was in the Philippines, sometimes electricity problems would cause reboots.  How long have these reboots been occuring?
[07:07] <ducky> pseudomorph: I tried that... I instaled all the apt-get packages in the list, and then I downloaded the two packages, and the first one installed fine and the second, the 32bit firefox (which seems to be 1.# not 2.0) says it's corrupted...and I have redownloaded it several times and tried the 2.0 .deb file higher up.
[07:07] <fula_> Do you know a hardware Irc chat
[07:07] <rabidphage> would cp -r copy hidden files also?
[07:07] <montcalm> emerge gnome, and grab a pot of coffee.
[07:08] <Polygon89> Hello, i was wondering why ubuntu is not giving me the option to suspend to ram, this option only available for laptops running on a battery or something? I can only hibernate, and i dont like it as the sound screws up after i come out of it.
[07:08] <fula_> I am sure that is not the power supplies
[07:08] <pseudomorph> ducky: ok, now let me think. I know i had an issue that installing that version of ff downgraded my ff64, from memory i installed the latest ff32 from www.getfirefox.com
[07:09] <fula_> I upgrade my computer and since that I heve this problems
[07:09] <Falstius> Polygon89: suspend to RAM requires hardware support ... maybe your computer doesn't support it?  A desktop more than 3 years old might not.
[07:09] <eternalswd> fula_, I'm not really sure of a hardware chat, you could try the third one at http://searchirc.com/dir/Computers/Hardware
[07:09] <Shadow_mil> how can I install man pages section 2 & 3 for ubuntu?
[07:09] <Polygon89> Falstius, well my brothers computer which is ancient compared to mine can do it, and i can also do this in windows, so i dont see where the problem lies...
[07:09] <someone3> fula, it could be your power supply
[07:09] <mike01> anyone know of a speed typing tutor for ubuntu?
[07:10] <lgc> Jordan_U, ardchoille, is a punctuation of -109 good for responding "y" to aptitude (in trying to install ubuntu-desktop).
[07:10] <someone3> buy 350W
[07:10] <mike01> trying to get my dvorak to break 100wpm
[07:10] <ducky> pseudomorph: Should I just download the tarbal?
[07:10] <Shadow_mil> mike01: I have seen one before
[07:10] <fula_> how can check if the system is OK
[07:10] <mike01> do you know the name?
[07:10] <someone3> fula what did u upgrade?
[07:10] <Shadow_mil> mike01: checking
[07:10] <mike01> cool
[07:10] <pseudomorph> ducky: the tarball should be fine, you're after the i386 tarball though I believe
[07:10] <ardchoille> lgc: What is punctuation of -109
[07:10] <fula_> I mean ubuntu
[07:11] <mike01> i just wan't a program that makes my type lots of stuff... I already know where all the keys are
[07:11] <someone3> since u installed ubuntu???
[07:11] <ardchoille> lgc: To install more than one app at a time: sudp aptitude install app1 app2 app3 app4
[07:11] <taxonrath> i installed apache2, but i cant do anything with it beacuse its telling me that im not the owner of it. how can i fix this?
[07:11] <lgc> ardchoille, I wish I knew. I'm using aptitude for the first time.
[07:11] <Jordan_U> lgc: All I can think of is to try to remove any packages that you may have gotten from the debian repo and then install ubuntu-desktop, I would go on a package removing spree and just be ready to be stuck with only a terminal or a chroot ( using a LiveCD ) it may be easier to re-install though
[07:11] <Falstius> Polygon89: I dunno, I was just offering a possibility.  You might check your BIOS to enable support for "S3" (suspend to ram)
[07:11] <vmware> when in synaptic i  mark all upgradable packages and then when it finished downloading like 700 packages it suddenly saying that it cannot overwrite columeid as /sbin/vol_id exiss in the same package
[07:11] <someone3> its not your power supply
[07:11] <ardchoille> lgc: What exactly are you trying to do?
[07:11] <fula_> how can I check the system status
[07:11] <eternalswd> fula_, this wouldn't be an ubuntu problem if it's happening in windows as well.  If ubuntu starts and you can log in, it should be good.  You can check for broken dependencies using synaptic
[07:12] <someone3> status???
[07:12] <Shadow_mil> mike01: I found a few, two that look are "tuxtype" and "typespeed"
[07:12] <Polygon89> Falstius, ok i will check that. Maybe it is a hardware problem as in windows it does not shut off my fans when i do suspend to ram. thanks
[07:12] <ducky> tar h: Got it... now is this what it meant with the script, just put that tarbal in the base-plugins directory and run the script then?
[07:12] <fula_> thanks again I see you
[07:12] <mike01> ok will dl them
[07:12] <Shadow_mil> mike01: typespeed is in universe packages
[07:12] <taxonrath> i installed apache2, but i cant do anything with it beacuse its telling me that im not the owner of it. how can i fix this?
[07:12] <ardchoille> lgc: Are you running gnome installed from the ubuntu cd?
[07:13] <someone3> LOL
[07:13] <Shadow_mil> how can I install man pages section 2 & 3 for ubuntu?
[07:13] <lgc> Jordan_U, that seems quite severe to me!
[07:13] <mike01> Shadow_mil: thanks, installing them
[07:13] <Shadow_mil> mike01: good luck with your goals :D
[07:13] <lgc> ardchoille, no, I've always upgraded from the repos.
[07:13] <Falstius> Polygon89: If the fans are going, then it is probably only doing "S1" which is really just spinning down the disks and turning off the monitor.
[07:14] <mike01> i think i can consistently break 100wpm in 2 months
[07:14] <eternalswd> taxonrath, what are you having trouble with apache config or editing the site pages?
[07:14] <ducky> pseudomorph: For whatever it's worth, I'm running the script again... it sure seems to be working, right now downloading a file called firefox32-2.0-ubuntu-amd64.deb
[07:14] <mike01> probably be over 90 in a month
[07:14] <Polygon89> Falstius, ok i shall check in my bios now. thanks
[07:14] <pseudomorph> ducky: on the howto page there is a link to a 32bit version of firefox 2.0. this is the one I used.
[07:14] <Shadow_mil> mike01: you might be interested in this to "dvorak7min is a typing tutor to help you learn dvorak. Also included are a pair of useful scripts to easily change between qwerty and dvorak layouts."
[07:14] <ardchoille> lgc: If you have run upgrades with debian repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list, then you have probably polluted your system and will have problems from here on. If it were me, I'd re-install Ubuntu and remember to never use debian sources or .deb packages in the future.
[07:15] <pseudomorph> ducky: let me know how you go
[07:15] <agliv5> Greetings :) I'm trying to install the avidemux_2.3.0-0.0ubuntu1_i386.deb that I downloaded and it says: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2" but libasound2 is installed and already the newest version??? what's up with that?
[07:15] <_`XeOn_> whats this location  ~/.xchat ?
[07:15] <ducky> pseudomorph: dpkg: error processing /home/ducky/Desktop/base-plugins/firefox32-2.0-ubuntu-amd64.deb (--install):
[07:15] <ducky>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[07:15] <ducky> Errors were encountered while processing:
[07:15] <ducky>  /home/ducky/Desktop/base-plugins/firefox32-2.0-ubuntu-amd64.deb
[07:15] <arrenlex> ardchoille: *chokes* reinstall ubuntu?!
[07:15] <ducky> chmod: cannot access `/usr/local/bin/firefox32': No such file or directory
[07:15] <Jordan_U> lgc: You need to get rid of any debian packages and when you re-install all your preferences will still be there, I did this once on accident ( removed all but the base system ) but after re-installing ubuntu-desktop it was literally like it had never happened.
[07:15] <Shadow_mil> mike01: though from the sounds of it, your pretty good
[07:15] <arrenlex> ardchoille: All you have to do is put three lines in /etc/apt/preferences and apt-get dist-upgrade!
[07:15] <Shadow_mil> ducky: if your text > 3 lines, please use pastebin.ca
[07:16] <mike01> yeah i learned with dvorak7min
[07:16] <arrenlex> ardchoille: Thus: http://arrenlex.ls.la/b
[07:16] <Fedge> Does the 6.10 server disk install gnome?
[07:16] <ardchoille> arrenlex: ok, ok
[07:16] <Shadow_mil> mike01: cool ^_^
[07:16] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, if you have a ~/.xchat, that's either a mistake or leftover from a really old xchat
[07:16] <mike01> heh heh was just playing with the tux game... its pretty cool
[07:16] <Jordan_U> arrenlex: I hope you aren't giving instructions for upgrading to Edgy.
[07:16] <arrenlex> ardchoille: Sorry, thus: http://68.148.168.84:8001/b
[07:16] <Shadow_mil> mike01: I never used dvorak before
[07:16] <rabidphage> how can i find the mounted devices and their rexpective points in linux?
[07:16] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, only place should be ~/.xchat2
[07:16] <mike01> dvorak7min doesn't have enough with all the keys tho
[07:16] <_`XeOn_> i downloaded chanserv.py
[07:16] <Shadow_mil> mike01: I would go insane, I think
[07:16] <arrenlex> Jordan_U: No. ardchoille says that if they'd run an apt-get upgrade with debian repos in the sources, they would reinstall.
[07:16] <mike01> you should try it when you don't have to do a lot of typing
[07:16] <Shadow_mil> lol
[07:16] <frogzoo> rabidphage: df or mount
[07:17] <arrenlex> Jordan_U: I am suggesting a method to go back to a pure ubuntu system in this situation.
[07:17] <mike01> cause it killed my qwerty speed
[07:17] <_`XeOn_> its in /usr/lib/xchat ?
[07:17] <mike01> i have to look at the keys for qwerty now... lol
[07:17] <daxxar> Can I make ubuntu unload my wlan driver before hibernating, and loading it after resuming? I've got a problem with my ipw3945 not properly "powering up" after a hibernate: The device is there and everything, but it doesn't automatically associate with any WLAN. (And I can't seem to get it to do so by /etc/init.d/networking restart or ifdn eth1 && ifup eth1)
[07:17] <pseudomorph> ducky: looks like the script is trying to do a chmod on a file it cannot find, is it possible it has gone into a different location?
[07:17] <rabidphage> frogzoo: thanks
[07:17] <cod1> Anyone know of a reliable text editor that has the ability to edit files through ftp? I've tried using curlftpfs to no success. I can connect and mount an ftp site, but as soon as I get a few levels into my site structure, it hangs. I've tried jedit which works until I try to load a file to edit. Am I going to have to run dreamweaver in wine?
[07:17] <Shadow_mil> mike01: I work at PC shop, we only use qwerty
[07:17] <Shadow_mil> mike01: if I started using dvorak, my boss would kill me
[07:17] <lgc> ardchoille, not that I cling to my position, but I enabled the debian repositories to install Scribus. Nothing else seems bad except for those 2 packages, "deskbar-applet", and "serpentine", which is a CD writer.
[07:17] <ducky> pseudomorph: I just tried again like you said with the .deb from that page and this time... low and behold.. it seems to have installed.
[07:17] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, wait, are you trying to install chanserv.py and it's telling you to edit something?
[07:17] <agliv5> Is it possible to remove libasound2 and then install the deb, or is that a bad idea?
[07:17] <mike01> yeah lol
[07:18] <frogzoo> cod1: I'd be amazed if emacs wouldn't handle it
[07:18] <_`XeOn_> it said to be placed in ~/.xchat2
[07:18] <eternalswd> agliv5, it's probably not a recent enough version
[07:18] <arrenlex> lgc: a) Isn't scribus in the ubuntu repositories? b) Couldn't you have compiled it instead? Or found a package?
[07:18] <pseudomorph> ducky: yep, looks like the script couldnt find the package... this should be all you're missing
[07:18] <Shadow_mil> mike01: though I like the idea of dvorak, wish they thought of it earlier, so it would be stander
[07:18] <mike01> yeah its been around since the 30s
[07:18] <eternalswd> _`XeOn_, okay, so that's where you put it
[07:19] <lgc> arrenlex, it wasn't when I installed it, in October.
[07:19] <agliv5> eternalswd, you wouldn't happen to know a good source?
[07:19] <Jordan_U> lgc: you enabled main though, so that means that any packages that were newer in debian were installed from the debian repo automatically, and that could be a lot of packages
[07:19] <Shadow_mil> mike01: lol
[07:19] <ducky> pseudomorph: Wow, working now... thanks so much, brother!
[07:19] <pseudomorph> ducky: i also edited my desktop shortcut to launch 'firefox32' not just 'firefox', you may want to do that.
[07:19] <ardchoille> lgc: running an upgrade with debian sources can replace many other system packages with newere "debian" packages. You'd have to hunt for those too and replace them. arrenlex seems to know how to revert back to pure Ubuntu, ask him.
[07:19] <eternalswd> agliv5, you're trying to build avidemux?
[07:19] <weijie902> Shadow_mil: you were talking about the layout?
[07:19] <pseudomorph> ducky: anytime mate, I still need a lot of help getting things working :)
[07:19] <_`XeOn_> it said to be placed in ~/.xchat2 so it will autoloaded but ma question is if that folder is usr/lib/xchat/ ?
[07:19] <Shadow_mil> weijie902: yeah
[07:19] <someone3> xeon, the ~ means user's home folder
[07:19] <ducky> pseudomorph: What's not working for you?
[07:20] <arrenlex> lgc: scribus has existed in ubuntu since warty, which was 2004.
[07:20] <_`XeOn_> aaah that answer everything to me :)
[07:20] <pseudomorph> ducky: mplayer32, having video output problems
[07:20] <eternalswd> agliv5, or wait you wanted to install an avidemux deb didn't you?  I'm not sure about that, but compiling avidemux works assuming you have the dev packages it needs
[07:20] <_`XeOn_> tyvm
[07:20] <ducky> pseudomorph:  Well, I might try it next so we'll see how I do.  :)
[07:20] <pseudomorph> ducky: and by extention mpayer firefox plugins
[07:21] <weijie902> Shadow_mil: do you use it? i was wondering if its possible to know both qwerty and dvorak at the same time
[07:21] <ardchoille> arrenlex: I guess I would be willing to re-install Ubuntu since it only takes 30 minutes while I go have a bite to eat. Seems quick and the system does everything for me.
[07:21] <someone3> np
[07:21] <Shadow_mil> weijie902: possible, maybe, if you go insane, with out a doubt
[07:21] <pseudomorph> ducky: good luck with it... i've spent hours! Think it might be a video issue though
[07:21] <arrenlex> ardchoille: I assure you that creating a text file, running a five-minute command, and then removing it is faster, and better :)
[07:21] <weijie902> Shadow_mil: lol
[07:22] <weijie902> Shadow_mil: my phone is qwerty and im thinking of making my laptop dvorak
[07:22] <agliv5> eternalswd, yes trying to install avidemux 2.3.0 and libasound is 1.0.11-7ubuntu3.  I don't think that there is a newer version....
[07:22] <ardchoille> arrenlex: Which I didn't know about, which is why I told lgc to talk to you :)
[07:22] <lgc> arrenlex, I remember I went through dire straits installing that package, but I don't remember exactly why (I was in a hurry to make a presentation for a meeting, and I even ended up using Scribus in ...Windoze (pardon me!!) because it was the only version that worked well).
[07:23] <aaron> Do any of you guys know where I can get a fortran compiler, and a pascal compiler?
[07:23] <sosdiode> hi all

[07:28] <Polygon89> Falstius, thanks, there was an option in my bios about enabling suspend to ram,  even though i could do it in windows (kinda) with it disabled. But anyway, after i come out of it, gnome complains that unsafely removed my external usb hard drive,
[07:28] <ryjyd> I found a soundcard module that doesn't work on bootup, I have ot run it manually... I want to stop doing that, essentially

[07:31] <Apixx> Can someone help me? I've got a little graphics problem... I want to put my monitor in 1152x864 resolution @ 85Hz , but it doesn't seem to be allowed by ubuntu :( And it's supported by my monitor. I'm using nvidia-glx drivers @ 6600GT... Also Synaptic doesn't allows me to download nvidia-setting, it prompts to remove the glx driver :-O
[07:31] <Polygon89> Falstius, anyway thanks for your help. Ill figure out the "unsafe removal" thing later
[07:31] <arrenlex> CapRiCoRN^80: No. Ubuntu only supports amd64, i386 and powerpc officially. You could install debian, though; it supports a lot more architectures.
[07:32] <CapRiCoRN^80> well i have seen some thing related to it . wait i tell u the link
[07:32] <arrenlex> CapRiCoRN^80: And debian is essentially ubuntu.
[07:32] <ryjyd> Apixx, have you tried the proprietary nvidia driver?
[07:32] <Apixx> ryjyd: I'm with it
[07:32] <pk_butu> I am newbie.....can any body help me how to run 2 linux distribution (ubuntu & centos) in one PC/hardisk...
[07:33] <sosdiode> #hydrogenaudio
[07:34] <ryjyd> k... might have to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (I think that's it)
[07:35] <zYe> what is some good video editing software?
[07:35] <agliv5> zYe avidemux :) or mencoder :) :)
[07:35] <Jordan_U> pk_butu: The installer for the distributions should let you deal with that, just make one partition for each
[07:35] <zYe> which one ? :)
[07:36] <agliv5> zYe: depends on what you're looking for... generally mencoder is better but harder to use...
[07:36] <zYe> which is more complex and have more features
[07:36] <Jordan_U> pk_butu: GRUB will automatically detect the other distro and everything should just work :)
[07:36] <zYe> mencoder then
[07:36] <zYe> has*
[07:36] <agliv5> zYe mencoder definately
[07:37] <zYe> is it in the mutimedia universe?
[07:37] <zYe> i dont see it O_o
[07:37] <agliv5> zYe what do you want to do? perhaps I can give you some insite?
[07:37] <Jordan_U> agliv5: Does mencoder do editing or just encoding?
[07:37] <zYe> i just want it in case i run into something in the future
[07:37] <agliv5> zYe, mencoder is part of mplayer
[07:37] <arrenlex> zYe: mencoder is a linear editor. You're probably looking for a nonlinear editor.
[07:37] <emxsi> how do i reconfigure the network card. I am getting an IP from DHCP but can't ping nor browse... Happened after I upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06? ty
[07:38] <agliv5> I would recomend compling yourself, then it works better
[07:38] <Apixx> it supports only 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 and 1600x1200
[07:38] <Apixx> and only at 85Hz
[07:38] <Apixx> is there anyway to overwrite the dependency and force install the nvidia-settings ?
[07:38] <ryjyd> not sure if anyone saw it: I have a module for my soundcard that does not load up on boot for ATI IXP... tok me a while, but I figured out what it was and how to load it... I have sound now, but I am force to re-run the command to do that... how do I get it to work at the start?
[07:38] <agliv5> mencoder does everything he he he
[07:38] <arrenlex> zYe: I.E. Mencoder is exactly what it says -- an encoder. i.e. you can reencode a movie, or apply video filters, or cut it, or pull it up, or other technical things. But you can't splice a clip of your horse onto a clip of your daughter and add shiny text.
[07:38] <arrenlex> zYe: Also, mencoder is commandline
[07:38] <zYe> UGHHHHh
[07:38] <agliv5> Jordan_U got that?
[07:39] <eternalswd> agliv5, if you download http://cs.wheaton.edu/~mbucy/files/spidermonkey.tar.bz2 and untar to your home directory, you can add --with-jsapi-include=/home/`echo $USER`/js and avidemux should compile.  let me know if it doesn't
[07:39] <zYe> ok, im looking for something like inal cut pro or adobe premire
[07:39] <agliv5> zYe any other questions?
[07:39] <arrenlex> zYe: As to those, Linux is sadly lacking. :(
[07:39] <zYe> >_<
[07:39] <zYe> ahhhhhhhhhhh
[07:39] <arrenlex> zYe: You could try blender's movie compositor. Or heroine.
[07:39] <Jordan_U> agliv5: I don't think so, what was I supposed to get?
[07:39] <ryjyd> Apixx: that may be all you can work with unless you try the linux-made drivers rather than the proprietary...
[07:40] <zYe> i might try premire on wine i guess
[07:40] <agliv5> eternalswd, why does spidermonkey have to be in the home dir?
[07:40] <QuantumKilla> zYe: Have you tried Kino?
[07:40] <arrenlex> zYe: No, heroine is the association... the editor is called cinelerra
[07:40] <zYe> dunno how that will go though O_o
[07:40] <arrenlex> zYe: http://i.iinfo.cz/r/photos/video/cinelerra.png
[07:40] <zYe> i have no idea, kinda new to the linux world :)
[07:40] <ademan> hey, my friend has a usb keyboard on his computer, and GRUB doesn't recognize it at boot time, and as a result he can't select his operating system at boot time.  I presume this has something to do with USB drivers not being loaded or something, is there anything we can do about this?
[07:40] <arrenlex> zYe: This closer?
[07:40] <agliv5> Jordan_U, that it is recomended to compile yourself and that mencoder does everything ;)
[07:40] <arrenlex> zYe: This is a new screenshot http://www.videohelp.com/toolsimages/cinelerra_250.jpg
[07:40] <zYe> yea but man that is hella ugly :)
[07:41] <QuantumKilla> http://www.kinodv.org/
[07:41] <Jordan_U> agliv5: Yes, I got that :)
[07:41] <vmware> hey guys can anybody help em with my screwed up edgy upgrade from breezy badger
[07:41] <eternalswd> agliv5, doesn't just so you could follow the config line.  You can put it wherever you want.  in face if you've installed firefox-dev you might be able to do --with-jsapi-include=/usr/include/firefox/js but I couldn't remember if I downloaded it separately
[07:41] <zYe> hmmm
[07:42] <eternalswd> *fact in place of face
[07:42] <kercyr> I just upgraded from Dapper to Edgy...  But, Xinerama stopped working.
[07:42] <CapRiCoRN^80> arrenlex: check this
[07:42] <CapRiCoRN^80> http://www.ubuntu.com/server
[07:42] <eternalswd> kercyr, check your xorg.conf?
[07:42] <agliv5> eternalswd, I've already got spidermonkey installed and running in /usr/local/spidermonkey and using the --with* option, but something is still wrong...
[07:42] <CapRiCoRN^80> Supports UltraSPARC T1
[07:42] <kercyr> eternalswd, It's the same as before the upgrade.
[07:43] <eternalswd> agliv5, spidermonkey is outdated, that's why id doesn't work
[07:43] <eternalswd> kercyr, is it loaded as a module?
[07:43] <kercyr> "it"?
[07:43] <vmware> when trying to ugrade initramfs it needs volumeid but volumeid could not be upgraded as /sbin/vol_id already exists
[07:43] <agliv5> eternalswd, I've already tried firefox and mozilla devs... It partially works, but not completely...
[07:44] <CapRiCoRN^80> its mentioned in on http://www.ubuntu.com/server that it Supports UltraSPARC T1
[07:44] <eternalswd> kercyr, xinerama AFAIK it's a kernel module
[07:44] <agliv5> eternalswd, then I'll download from the source you suggested and re-install :)
[07:45] <kercyr> eternalswd, I don't think so...
[07:45] <agliv5> zYe, it appears you're still having problems, what's up?
[07:46] <CapRiCoRN^80> i asked that can we install ubuntu on sun sparc systems
[07:46] <CapRiCoRN^80> n i got answer no
[07:46] <CapRiCoRN^80> but i think we can
[07:46] <CapRiCoRN^80> its mentioned in on http://www.ubuntu.com/server that it Supports UltraSPARC T1
[07:46] <CapRiCoRN^80> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Sparc
[07:46] <ademan> CapRiCoRN^80: it may only be for the server install
[07:46] <rangans> guys can anybody help me with synaptic upgrade to edgy problem
[07:46] <CapRiCoRN^80> ok
[07:47] <arrenlex> CapRiCoRN^80: That appears to be a server system. Don't expect to run gnome on it.
[07:47] <ademan> rangans: use the update manager, or just fresh install, there's a lot of dapper->edgy upgrade problems, but if you do it with the update manager it's supposed to be pretty decent
[07:47] <eternalswd> kercyr, not sure what you need to do then :(
[07:47] <arrenlex> CapRiCoRN^80: Whereas with debian, I know for sure that all the packages are ported.
[07:47] <rangans> I am getting an error that vol_id could be upgraded as dpkg is trying to overwrite /sbin/vol_id which is in the same paaaackage
[07:48] <rangans> i tried to do sudo apt-get install volumeid
[07:48] <rangans> then I tried dpkg -i --force-yes volumeid
[07:48] <rangans> they all fail with the same error
[07:48] <kercyr> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4558/ is my xorg.conf
[07:48] <rangans> since this package is reported broken synaptic would not upgrade anymore either
[07:49] <eternalswd> kercyr, did you recompile fglrx?
[07:50] <Fedge> I'm trying to install 6.10 and i get this error: "timeout writing for DMA, drive not ready for command"
[07:50] <eternalswd> kercyr, at least the kernel module?
[07:50] <booduck> wuip
[07:50] <kercyr> eternalswd, I've tried replacing fglrx with radeon and ati... Neither worked.
[07:51] <kercyr> (but no, I didn't recompile it)
 CapRiCoRN^80: That appears to be a server system. Don't expect to run gnome on it.. then wat will i get ?
[07:51] <QuantumKilla> rangans: This is a total shot in the dark but did you try apt-get -f --fix-broken?
[07:51] <Pntkl> Hi
[07:51] <eternalswd> kercyr, whenever you install a new kernell, you need to compile the kernel module portion against the new kernel.  maybe it'll work after that
[07:52] <booduck> d3ck4
[07:52] <booduck> d3ck4
[07:52] <CapRiCoRN^80> coz i m thinking of installing ubuntu on Sun Blade 1500 workstations
[07:52] <CapRiCoRN^80> coz i m thinking of installing ubuntu on Sun Blade 150 workstations
[07:52] <arrenlex> CapRiCoRN^80: If you want to use them for servers, go ahead.
[07:53] <arrenlex> CapRiCoRN^80: I've never done it, though. If the internet says you can, I guess you can. Good luck.
[07:53] <kercyr> eternalswd, that makes sense if I were working on my gentoo machine, but I don't understand that for ubuntu... as far as I know, I never had to compile anything.
[07:53] <agliv5> eternalswd, getting the same error as with the mozilla-dev version of spidermonkey let me pastebin...
[07:53] <rabidphage> hi.. how can i monitor the progress of a copy task that has already been commited other than watching the LED blink
[07:54] <rangans> quuantumkilla, I had not I tried now it looks like I am getting the syntax wrong it comes back with a list of options and fix-broken isnt one of them
[07:54] <QuantumKilla> what about just -f
[07:54] <eternalswd> kercyr, okay, you're using the repositories version?
[07:54] <rangans> Quantumkilla, sorry I got your changing your nickname
[07:54] <kercyr> I was.
[07:54] <rabidphage> hi.. how can i monitor the progress of a copy task that has already been commited other than watching the LED blink
[07:54] <QuantumKilla> lol, s'okay np
[07:54] <eternalswd> kercyr, okay, I haven't a clue then why xinerama isn't working
[07:55] <kercyr> we're in the same boat.
[07:55] <AzMoo> I'm trying to give my user write access to /var/www via a 'www' group that I've created. My user is a member of the group and I did a sudo chown -R root:www /var/www and sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www but if I try and open that directory it gives me a permission denied error.
[07:55] <d3ck4> booduck = wizard
[07:56] <agliv5> eternalswd, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4559/
[07:56] <QuantumKilla> rangans: try: 'sudo apt-get install --fix-broken'
[07:56] <booduck> wizard?
[07:56] <QuantumKilla> honestly i'm not a pro with this stuff or anything
[07:57] <QuantumKilla> so take what I say with a grain of salt, lol
[07:57] <rangans> quantumkilla, you mean sudo apt-get -f that comes with same problem but I did try sudo apt-get -f install volumeid and this is what I get
[07:57] <rangans> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/volumeid_093-0ubuntu18.0edgy2_i386.deb (--unpack):
[07:57] <rangans>  trying to overwrite `/sbin/vol_id', which is also in package udev
[07:57] <eternalswd> agliv5, was that with the js folder from me in /usr/local/spidermonkey?
[07:58] <eternalswd> agliv5, does ./configure --with-jsapi-include=/usr/include/firefox/js  give the same error?
[07:58] <rangans> quantumkilla,me neither but greatly appreciate your help
[07:59] <silya> Hi all! I need FPinger alternative in linux. Any suggestions?
[07:59] <QuantumKilla> hahaha, wish i could help more.. sorry
[08:00] <agliv5> eternalswd, I think exactally the same, but I'll check...
[08:01] <cizra> Hello
[08:01] <agliv5> eternalswd, exactally the same error...
[08:01] <rangans> quantumkilla, np thaks for your time
[08:02] <cizra> http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent - can this CD do install on LVM2?
[08:03] <eternalswd> agliv5, try copying the js folder directly from the tarball to /usr/include/firefox/ and try again.  I am not getting that error.
[08:04] <AzMoo> Looks like you have to re-login for your groups to be updated. Makes sense I guess.
[08:10] <agliv5> eternalswd, still getting the same error; however I am using the mozilla-dev and not the firefox-dev at the moment but I don't think that would make a difference... could it be that it's not working because the files have wrong permissions because of their location?
[08:12] <eternalswd> agliv5, mine are all root rw-r--r-- in the js folder
[08:13] <eternalswd> agliv5, firefox-dev may actually be more recent than mozilla, I'm not sure, regardless, the js folder in the tar file is definitely good to go
[08:13] <lgc> arrenlex, ardchoille, Jordan_U
[08:14] <agliv5> eternalswd, let me try the firefox-dev... but I did so yesterday and I seem to recall that it didn't work...
[08:15] <lgc> ardchoille, the downloading from *pure* Ubuntu sources is progressing quite slow. It'll take a couple of hours more to complete. Since it's 1:15 A.M. local time, I think I will retreat to my chambers to pay a visit to Morpheus.
[08:17] <Alarm> hello, when i sometimes recet my computer (cause it crashes) , linux start to make an fsck on a fat32 partition, and as a result to erase sometimes data from it , although those files werent being used at the time that the system was reseted. why does that happen ? (for example. i had a compressed file that i moved from ubuntu ext3 partition to fat32 . after several hours something happened and the system crashed. when reseting and getting again i
[08:17] <Alarm> nto the system, i saw that the compressed file was missing)
[08:17] <lgc> ardchoille, thank you and good night from Mexico City.
[08:18] <yellow> hey guys where is it that synaptics save all its package files ?
[08:18] <high-freq> heya guys....um i just did a distro-upgrade and now sound don't work...is there a command i do to restore it?
[08:19] <eternalswd> agliv5, have you tried what I suggested in copying my js folder directly to /usr/include/firefox
[08:20] <eternalswd> agliv5, I have a feeling I overwrote the headers there with a newer version
[08:20] <weijie902> yellow: try using "locate .deb", mabye it will work
[08:20] <weijie902> yellow: but do apt-get clean first
[08:20] <weijie902> or cd / and then find | grep deb
[08:20] <yellow> weijie902, what does apt-get clean do?
[08:21] <weijie902> yellow: clears out previously downloaded deb files (from apt)
[08:21] <high-freq> for alsa all i see is alsactl and alsamixer....is there somethin else i need to install in order to get this sound working again.  It was working before the distro-upgrade
[08:21] <weijie902> if i apt-get install foobar foobar.deb is stored somewhere
[08:22] <weijie902> apt-get clean deletes foobar.deb as its not really needed anymore
[08:22] <weijie902> like clearing a web browser's cache
[08:23] <yellow> thanks weijie902 , exactly what i'm after
[08:23] <yellow> :)
[08:23] <weijie902> np
[08:24] <donovan> help...for some reason whenever i try to go into the Terminal i get an error message "there was an error creating the child process for this terminal"
[08:24] <weijie902> yellow: im not sure whether the cache and synaptic's "download deb files only but do not install them" location are the same
[08:25] <agliv5> eternalswd, yes but with the mozilla-dev and it didn't work... currently installing firefox-dev and will do the same...
[08:25] <yellow> weijie902, uhm so how to clear out both ?
[08:25] <yellow> lol
[08:25] <yellow> :P
[08:25] <weijie902> umm... do apt get clean first
[08:26] <weijie902> then search for deb files, maybe this wll give you the location of the synaptic cache
[08:26] <weijie902> i dont know where it is, thats why im suggesting that
[08:26] <yellow> the only deb files are the ones i downloaded manually so it's all good now
[08:27] <mysta> I'm trying to install totem-gstreamer firefox plugin, but it will not let me. Aptitude has a v flag next to the file?? what does this mean?
[08:27] <chavo> the cache is in /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:27] <donovan> anyone?
[08:27] <chavo> apt-get autoclean will remove all but the latest versions
[08:28] <yellow> thanks chavo , one more to do
[08:29] <kerpal> anyone know how to trouble shoot a problem mounting an sata drive in gparted? i keep getting a input/output error
[08:29] <yellow> ok, that's it, now i can download that big p0rn file now
[08:29] <yellow> :P
[08:29] <yellow> thanks to chavo and weijie902
[08:29] <yellow> ^^!
[08:29] <weijie902> yellow: no problem
[08:30] <donovan> im getting the same error message trying to open the shared folders window...
[08:30] <yellow> hehe, that cleared out about 300 megs of gunk
[08:30] <yellow> ^^!
[08:30] <donovan> someone please aid me! :P
[08:30] <chavo> donovan, if anyone knows they'll help
[08:30] <agliv5> eternalswd, still getting the same problem... could it be a problem that can be fixed with Linux_All_DBG.OBJ or export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/spidermonkey ?
[08:30] <donovan> lol i know
[08:30] <donovan> sorry
[08:31] <donovan> just tired and annoyed....
[08:31] <mysta> !wmv | mysta
[08:31] <kerpal> anyone?
[08:31] <storm> In 6.10, how can I make disk icons appear on the desktop as in 6.06?
[08:32] <eternalswd> agliv5 if you're using firefox-dev, it should be /usr/include/firefox/js not /usr/local/spidermonkey, what are you passing to ./configure?
[08:32] <KuHlii> hmmm... i still seem to be having issues with my wireless in 6.10
[08:32] <KuHlii> the wireless network gets picked up by network manager, however fails to connect

[08:36] <agliv5> eternalswd, I have previously installed and compiled spidermonkey using following guide "http://gopalarathnam.com/weblog/2007/01/08/building-spidermonkey-on-ubuntu.html" so perhaps some system links are wrong...
[08:36] <CodyLoco> woooaa wrong channel sorry guys

[08:36] <storm> donovan: It's considered bad form to laugh at your own comments :-)

[08:37] <storm> Ah, I see
[08:37] <donovan> wondered why i couldnt open some of Breezy's stuff like Terminal and Shared Folders...seems like it has to do with the new kernel i had just put in...lol
[08:37] <donovan> probably documented somewhere...oh, ok ill shut up now
[08:38] <ardchoille> donovan: That'll teach you to mess around with the kernel.
[08:38] <donovan> :P
[08:38] <donovan> thank god the old one was still available...anyone know how to get rid of the new one from the bootloader/system?

[08:45] <eternalswd> agliv5, can't explain it...where is the source from?
[08:45] <dezinezan> i havent ever used linux or gnome, or a mac computer overall, and this is a pain in the ass, because we have everything working correct..
[08:45] <dezinezan> we just dont know HOW exactly to get a new connectino going
[08:45] <agliv5> eternalswd, what source?
[08:45] <dezinezan> *connection
[08:45] <AmaroqWolf> lol illriginal. dezinezan, how come the wireless router isn't working? Are you using a desktop right now or a laptop?
[08:46] <eternalswd> agliv5, for avidemux, did you get a tarball or download via svn?
[08:46] <dezinezan> desktop
[08:46] <johan__> if modem works connection will be easy to setup
[08:46] <dezinezan> 2desktop
[08:46] <dezinezan> when i try to install wireless router.. i put the disc in and go through the process..
[08:46] <agliv5> eternalswd, good question... hang on...
[08:46] <AmaroqWolf> Do you have a wireless network card? Or is your wireless router connected to the desktop via ethernet?
[08:46] <sts> hello folks. I have trubles installing mysql on my ubuntu server 6.10 system.
[08:47] <AmaroqWolf> sts, you want a mysql server?
[08:47] <dezinezan> it closes my internet connections, and then i have to REmake it inorder for it to even connect.. so the process fails, and it doesnt go all the way through everything
[08:47] <sts> AmaroqWolf: yes
[08:47] <AmaroqWolf> sudo apt-get install mysql-server I think.
[08:47] <dezinezan> this computer im on now looking for help on how to get the gnome comp to internet is running windows xp home
[08:48] <johan__> this is confusing
[08:48] <agliv5> eternalswd, originally from the hompage... looking it up, but since then I downloaded from http://mirror.in.th/ubuntu/archive/pool/multiverse/a/avidemux/
[08:48] <AmaroqWolf> Are you running ubuntu, dezinezan? My ubuntu auto-detected my ethernet card.
[08:48] <dezinezan> any suggestions?
[08:48] <sts> i installed it with apt-get install mysql-server, afterwards i changed the password using mysqadmin, but when i try to restart it i get:  mysqld got signal 4; his could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built or misconfigured. .....
[08:48] <dezinezan> umm
[08:48] <dezinezan> yes
[08:48] <dezinezan> i just had sister shut it down
[08:48] <dezinezan> and its that
[08:49] <eternalswd> agliv5, is that where you got the deb that you wanted to install as well?
[08:49] <dezinezan> Ubuntu is what it says
[08:49] <AmaroqWolf> Okay. Are you trying to get your computer to network wirelessly with the router, or are you just going to connect it with an ethernet cable?
[08:49] <AmaroqWolf> sts, I don't know how to help you with that error.
[08:49] <agliv5> eternalswd, yes ;) I found the site where I originally downloaded... it's http://download.berlios.de/avidemux/avidemux_2.3.0.tar.gz
[08:49] <dezinezan> umm.. honestly im not sure.. ANYWAY that will get internet on BOTH computers will do for now
[08:50] <dezinezan> my dad used to always install all this stuff.. but my dad left long time ago
[08:50] <AmaroqWolf> Well, do both computers have network cards? They'll each have what looks like a phone line plug, but larger, if they do. And do they both sit near the router?
[08:50] <dezinezan> and my step dad we having problems with, he doesnt want to help at all
[08:50] <dezinezan> so i want to get it working for my sister
[08:51] <dezinezan> um..
[08:51] <dezinezan> yes
[08:51] <dezinezan> they both have that plug in
[08:51] <dezinezan> and they are sitting right next to each other
[08:51] <dezinezan> on a new desk we got
[08:51] <AmaroqWolf> Do you have cables for that plug in that can reach the router?
[08:51] <BaB00> hello
[08:51] <dezinezan> umm
[08:52] <BaB00> guys..i have a question
[08:52] <Madpilot> BaB00, just ask, don't ask to ask :)
[08:52] <felixhummel> BaB00, just ask
[08:52] <felixhummel> ;)
[08:52] <dezinezan> i got a phone cord and pluged it into the phone outlit like a friend suggrested and then plugged the other end into the comp
[08:52] <dezinezan> to try to get dial-up
[08:52] <dezinezan> and for the last 3 hours  i have been looking and calling people
[08:52] <dezinezan> :(
[08:52] <n4cht> hey guys, may i ask a question?  </sarcasm>
[08:52] <AmaroqWolf> Well, do you have ethernet cables to plug those computers into the router?
[08:53] <BaB00> how do i connect thru a direct connection (com1 - win) to an equipment
[08:53] <BaB00> ?
[08:53] <dezinezan> you guys have been the most help i have ever had, one ladie i coudnt even understand on the phone because of her accent..
[08:53] <donovan> dezinezan is the connection dialup or high-speed?
[08:53] <ryan__> what karma zachtib?
[08:53] <dezinezan> its highspeed dsl
[08:53] <donovan> hmm
[08:53] <dezinezan> but im not exactly sure how to get it on THE OTHER COMPUTER
[08:53] <dezinezan> as well as this one
[08:53] <donovan> well i had a problem when i installed my cable modem on my router
[08:53] <dezinezan> at the SAME time
[08:54] <donovan> ohh
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> Do you have cables like this? http://blog.hiwired.com/archives/ethernet%20cable%201%20thumb-thumb.jpg
[08:54] <donovan> so it's already working on one, you just want to set the other one up on it?
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> they don't have to be that color. Just that shape.
[08:54] <dezinezan> yes
[08:54] <dezinezan> but one is mac
[08:54] <dezinezan> and this one is.. well it uses windows xp
[08:54] <dezinezan> like im used too
[08:54] <dezinezan> and i have no idea how to use mac
[08:54] <donovan> ok are you trying to use wireless or wired?
[08:54] <AmaroqWolf> They're ethernet cables. If they fit, they'll work.
[08:54] <dezinezan> ahm
[08:55] <n4cht> dezinezan, you'd need a switch or a router.  (another piece of hardware) since most DSL modems double as single-port routers, you can likely go the cheaper route and just pick up a switch for about $20USD.
[08:55] <dezinezan> the router my mom got says wireless
[08:55] <donovan> mmhmm
[08:55] <donovan> and do you know if your mac has a wireless adapter?
[08:55] <AmaroqWolf> Well, if you look on the back of the router, ther'll be plugins like the ones on the back of your computer.
[08:55] <someone303> L8R all
[08:55] <n4cht> check the bottom of the DSL modem itself.  it'll say if it's a router or not.
[08:55] <high-freq> can someone plz tell me what file to edit to change my locale
[08:56] <donovan> dezinezan, do you know if the Mac has a wireless network adapter installed?
[08:56] <AmaroqWolf> On the back of your router, should be three or four plugs close to eachother, with another plug off to the left sorta by itself.
[08:56] <dezinezan> ok i have the modem that CAME to set up the highspeed DSL, then the other day we bought a D-Link  Wireless Router
[08:56] <pearl_black> i install the mplayer and have one fine image and everything but ... the sound have noiseeeeee ... :x is cruisel the flashplayer plays the sound very fine. SOmeone knows how can i resolve this?!
[08:57] <dezinezan> im not sure.. we just bought it from a guy he used it for gaming and he was always on the net
[08:57] <agliv5> eternalswd, you still with me?
[08:57] <donovan> ok well that's kind of crucial
[08:57] <AmaroqWolf> Look on the back of your router, there should be those plugins that look like the big phone cord plugin.
[08:57] <donovan> if your mac doesn't have a wireless adapter, you can't connect wirelessly
[08:57] <eternalswd> agliv5, yeah, I'm loading the repository listing into synaptic to see what's what
[08:58] <dezinezan> i dont mind connecting with wires, or wireless.. i just wanna get it on the net.. lol
[08:58] <dezinezan> but..
[08:58] <high-freq> can someone plz tell me what file to edit to change my locale
[08:58] <n4cht> dezinezan, excellent.  ok, all you need to do is plug an ethernet cable between the mac and the router, and the rest should be pie.   (however, you might want to check the model of your mac on the apple website, it likely has a wireless adapter built-in.)

[08:58] <donovan> rock on
[08:58] <musya> whats a good torrent program ?
[08:58] <dezinezan> the new router we have has 1-4 and  LAN
[08:58] <jakeyfu> bittorrent
[08:58] <dezinezan> ahmm
[08:58] <jakeyfu> @musya:bittorrent
[08:59] <sts> azureus
[08:59] <dezinezan> not to sound stupid but.. would i need to another cord to connect to the 2nd slot for the second computer.. or how exactly do i do this? cause i have another cord from old stuff
[08:59] <AmaroqWolf> dezinizan, you can plug a cable from your modem into the LAN slot. That'll give the internet to your router. Then you can plug one computer into the 1 slot, and another computer into the 2 slot.
[08:59] <jakeyfu> azureus=bittorrent+flashget
[08:59] <MM2> aargh! just installed 6.06 server. It had troubles during install, so I had to reconfigure HD partitions. It did not asked for any username or password... darn!
[09:00] <dezinezan> into the LAN?
[09:00] <BaB00> how do i connect using serial cable to an equipment ?
[09:00] <BaB00> I mean direct connection to the equipment (telnet)
[09:00] <donovan> into one of the four ports on the back of your router, yea
[09:00] <MM2> How I log into the system?
[09:00] <n4cht> LAN or any of the 1-4 ports.
[09:00] <agliv5> eternalswd, thanks for all your help :) I've been working on this for days...
[09:00] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht, I think the modem has to go straight into the LAN.
[09:00] <dezinezan> ok so..
[09:01] <AmaroqWolf> the LAN is like the in, and the 1-4 is like the out.
[09:01] <eternalswd> agliv5, that repository is really, really slow right now :(
[09:01] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf, oh.. absolutely.  I thought we were trying to figure out where to connect the mac.  You're absolutely right.
[09:01] <kerpal> how can i find out what version kernel i am using?
[09:01] <dezinezan> when its all plugged in how the guide that came with the disc said.. ALL the lights are light up AND it works going through the modem that came WITH the internet, and the new router..
[09:01] <dezinezan> do i just plug another cable in like SLOT 2 and then to the 2nd comp?
[09:01] <high-freq> kerpal: type in uname -a
[09:01] <n4cht> dezinezan yep.
[09:01] <kerpal> thanks
[09:01] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht, well, if the Mac also has an ethernet slot, it could probably hook up to a slot 1-4 as well couldn't it? I don't know abot macs.
[09:01] <high-freq> np
[09:01] <donovan> there should be an ethernet port on the back of your Mac thatyou can plug that cable in to
[09:02] <dezinezan> ok
[09:02] <dezinezan> but...
[09:02] <high-freq> can someone plz tell me what file to edit to change my locale
[09:02] <dezinezan> when its plugged
[09:02] <black_perl> i install the mplayer and have one fine image and everything but ... the sound have veryyyyyyy noiseeeeee o0 0o ... :x is cruisel strange the flashplayer plays the sound very fine. SOmeone knows how can i resolve this?! i got 3 sounds cards detected :|
[09:02] <donovan> but?
[09:02] <hayden>  /join #macosx
[09:02] <dezinezan> when its plugged in.. how exactly i connect the internet? will it notice the plug/software stuff and also do it? or what because i cant find a connect anywere
[09:02] <n4cht> dezinezan, what port on the back of the router is the modem plugged into?
[09:02] <dezinezan> ahmm
[09:02] <n4cht> that's a very crucial step.
[09:03] <dezinezan> actually i unplugged EVERYTHING and stuck with JUST the modem for now until i could find further help
[09:03] <AmaroqWolf> zezinezan, if everything is connected right, it should automatically be connected. No dial in required.
[09:03] <donovan> dezinezan, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Windows frequently auto-detects the network but idk about other OS's...however, there should be a control panel option somewhere in there to configure networking
[09:03] <AmaroqWolf> dangit I keep mispelling his name.
[09:03] <dezinezan> alright
[09:03] <n4cht> ah!  ok, plug the modem into the LAN port, and then connect the Mac to one of the other ports, 1-4.
[09:03] <n4cht> That should about do it.
[09:03] <AmaroqWolf> Ubuntu autodetects networks too.
[09:04] <donovan> actually
[09:04] <Kazin> can someone help me with a video driver problem?
[09:04] <AzMoo> Do you guys have any clue what you're talking about?
[09:04] <felixhummel> I just configured my Network adapter with ifconfig, but at reboot, /etc/interfaces is loaded with wrong settings. Can I save the ifconfig settings with one command?
[09:04] <donovan> i had to input mine manually
[09:04] <dezinezan> ill plug everything back in the way i had it, the way it was working before, and explain what im doing and hopfully that wil help give a description on how im doing it..
[09:04] <dev1> I configured vsftpd with virtual user support. And after that local user can't connect to server in their home directories that listed in chroot_list. What is the problem?
[09:04] <dezinezan> one sec..
[09:04] <donovan> course that's probably because of the WEP key...
[09:04] <AmaroqWolf> Ah. I use a wired network.
[09:04] <n4cht> Ubuntu is Fantastic at autodetecting and configuring most networks, with the exception of connections coming from a Prism-based USB wireless adapter.  (I'm currently using one now.) that thing is hell to set up.
[09:04] <donovan> dezinezan, try restarting the Mac after you plug in the cable...one never knows but that Mac OS might recognize it.
[09:05] <donovan> n4cht, im using a linksys USB...and no kidding
[09:05] <AmaroqWolf> Ouch, n4cht. Yeah, I'm using an ethernet for my networking.
[09:05] <donovan> ive had to put in the WEP key at least 6 times now
[09:05] <donovan> lol
[09:05] <donovan> but i dont want to run cable...
[09:05] <n4cht> donovan, if i even close network-admin, my connection craps.  lol.
[09:05] <satix_> Hey everyone..
[09:05] <agliv5> eternalswd, I didn't load the repository into synaptic... I downloaded from the url I sent you...
[09:05] <satix_> Anyone in New York?
[09:05] <donovan> plus Cat5 is expensive around here...
[09:06] <bgehl> Hi everybody, I have a slighty uncommon question: If I know of a driver I'd like to be included in Feisty - who should I asked?
[09:06] <AzMoo> donovan, where are you? Antarctica?
[09:06] <donovan> lol
[09:06] <donovan> well
[09:06] <donovan> expensive from my point of view
[09:06] <n4cht> bgehl, check for a contributor's page at ubuntulinux.org
[09:06] <donovan> but then...i'm a cheapskate
[09:06] <donovan> :P
[09:06] <dezinezan> when i do this.. it sometimes d/c's me so if i go and im gone.. i WILL be back, because you guys/girls have helped me more than ANYTHING or ANYONE!! Thank you SOO Much!
[09:07] <donovan> i balked at 5 bucks for a 3 foot Cat5 at RadioShack...
[09:07] <AmaroqWolf> Always happy to help dezinezan
[09:07] <donovan> 10-4, good buddy
[09:07] <bgehl> thanks n4cht, I'll try (... ahm Germany?)
[09:07] <n4cht> iter, personally, would like to see linux-wlan-ng included in feisty.  chances of that are looking pretty slim though.
[09:08] <n4cht> okgo, that was supposed to be "i, personally"  lol.  stupid nick auto-complete.
[09:08] <n4cht> ack.
[09:08] <AmaroqWolf> teehee, I never thought I'd know enough actually provide useful help in a place like this. Just a few months ago, I was the newb coming in rooms like this asking everybody to help me. I still sorta am. *chuckles*
[09:08] <Kazin> yeah me too
[09:08] <donovan> hell this is my first day...but im in school for network admin'ing...lol
[09:08] <Kazin> can anyone help? :D
[09:09] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: we all have to start somewhere.
[09:09] <n4cht> Kazin: Whatcha need?
[09:09] <eternalswd> agliv5, it's possible that deb is for feisty
[09:09] <donovan> sadly, the Network+ class does not deal with OSX...
[09:09] <h1st0> I'm having a problem creating a user.  Here's what happened.  I originally had a user named kimmy I deleted her.  Now when i'm trying to re create that user with user&groups.  I create it then when I close the dialog the user is gone.
[09:09] <Kazin> my nvidia card doesn't seem to be being put to use at all
[09:10] <agliv5> eternalswd, perhaps...
[09:10] <Kazin> i can't go above 1024x768 at 60hz
[09:10] <AzMoo> !nvidia | kazin
[09:10] <ubotu> kazin: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:10] <AmaroqWolf> I remember my first time in a room like this. I was a nightmare for whoever it was who tried to help me. I still had windows, and no CD burner. And I wanted to see if I could install of of a USB stick, and eventually learned that my PC's motherboard can't boot from USB.
[09:10] <eternalswd> agliv5, 2.3 isn't showing up for me from edgy or edgy-backports
[09:10] <n4cht> h1st0: try 'adduser' in a terminal window instead.
[09:10] <n4cht> or, rather, sudo adduser
[09:10] <agliv5> eternalswd, so does that mean that 2.3 doesn't run on this version of ubuntu?
[09:11] <h1st0> n4cht: any idea why users & groups wouldnt' work for just this one user name?  I can create others there.
[09:11] <BaB00> anyone ?
[09:11] <eternalswd> agliv5, it means the person running that repository doesn't have a deb for edgy, someone else might though
[09:11] <AmaroqWolf> Once I ordered the free Ubuntu CD, I was set.
[09:11] <h1st0> n4cht: like if I pick any other name than kimmy it works.
[09:11] <AzMoo> BaB00, what was the question?
[09:11] <n4cht> just out of curiousity, is there a way to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu without a full reinstall?  like a dummy, my /home is on my / partition.
[09:11] <h1st0> n4cht: yes
[09:12] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht, my /home is on my / partition as well.
[09:12] <h1st0> n4cht: just change your sources.list to reflec the version
[09:12] <BaB00> how do i connect thru a serial cable to an equipment ?
[09:12] <h1st0> n4cht: or use update-manager
[09:12] <n4cht> h1st0: and then apt-get dist upgrade?
[09:12] <h1st0> !tell n4cht about upgrade
[09:12] <h1st0> n4cht: did you get the message from ubotu
[09:12] <AmaroqWolf> lol h1st0, changing the version isn't going to make it the new version.
[09:12] <eternalswd> agliv5, try http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=avidemux
[09:13] <h1st0> I know he needs to do a dist-upgrade aftwerwards
[09:13] <AmaroqWolf> oh, okay
[09:13] <donovan-> well id better get some sleep.
[09:13] <h1st0> AmaroqWolf: or he can use update-manager
[09:13] <donovan-> night all
[09:13] <h1st0> n4cht: you might want to try update manager instead
[09:13] <AmaroqWolf> ah
[09:13] <n4cht> sure did.
[09:13] <h1st0> !upgrade
[09:13] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[09:13] <AzMoo> BaB00, use minicom
[09:13] <AmaroqWolf> What version are you trying to upgrade to?
[09:14] <mareks> how to do x-forwarding on ubuntu server edition?
[09:14] <h1st0> So back to my user question.  For some reason I can't create a user named kimmy I can create a user by any other name.  I used to have a user named kimmy but need to recreate them.
[09:14] <musya> anybody know of a good site for torretns?
[09:14] <musya> torrents*
[09:14] <AzMoo> h1st0, can you add the user through the terminal?
[09:14] <h1st0> AzMoo: i'm going to try hold up
[09:14] <AzMoo> musya, I'm pretty sure linking to piracy sites would be against #ubuntu rules.
[09:14] <AmaroqWolf> h1st0, maybe there's some file(s) left behind that weren't deleted when the user first was?
[09:15] <musya> no i meant legal onces
[09:15] <h1st0> AzMoo: no because htee group already exhists
[09:15] <musya> ones*
[09:15] <h1st0> AzMoo: that must be the problem there is a group named kimmy still.
[09:15] <AzMoo> h1st0, probably. Bit weird though. I would've thought that the manager would've been able to figure that one out. Delete the group and give it a go.
[09:16] <h1st0> AzMoo: yeah that was it.
[09:16] <_mackinac_> legal torrents of what
[09:16] <h1st0> AzMoo: craziness I swear this stuff only happens to me.
[09:16] <agliv5> agliv5
[09:16] <h1st0> musya: well ubuntu.com has torrents of their iso's
[09:16] <rc-1> how do i block a site from loading in firefox?
[09:17] <n4cht> wow.  update-manager makes this extremely painless.
[09:17] <musya> rc-1: dont open it
[09:17] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht, what version are you upgrading from/to?
[09:17] <AmaroqWolf> lol musya
[09:17] <rc-1> musya, i need other tabbs in the session and it crashes firefox
[09:17] <n4cht> from breezy to dapper, then from dapper to edgy.
[09:18] <AmaroqWolf> rc-1, does the site that crashes firefox have any flash files embedded into it?
[09:18] <rc-1> AmaroqWolf, yes
[09:18] <eternalswd> agliv5, yes, the avidemux from the site you originally downloaded from was compiled for feisty, the other deb should work fine
[09:18] <AmaroqWolf> rc-1, you need the newest flash.
[09:18] <AmaroqWolf> Then it won't crash.
[09:19] <n4cht> i'm just worried that at some critical point during the upgrade it's going to require a connection after a restart, which leaves me without a connection due to having to manually deal with this stupid usb wireless adapter.
[09:19] <AmaroqWolf> Can someone give rc-1 instructions for putting flash on? I don't remember how I did it.
[09:19] <musya> actually firefox has been crashing on me too lately
[09:19] <musya> but just randomly
[09:19] <rc-1> Amaranth, i accidentally clicked on an add, and its something that deliberately crashes it
[09:19] <rc-1> can i just disable flash somehow?
[09:19] <musya> rc-1: sudo apt-cache search flash
[09:19] <n4cht> musya, I can share the pain with you on that one.
[09:20] <musya> see what it give you then apt-get install packageName
[09:20] <AmaroqWolf> Oh. For me, my firefox just crashed whenever it loaded some sites with flashes.
[09:20] <musya> should be like flash free
[09:20] <musya> or something
[09:20] <cypher1> musya: fyi.. i think apt-cache search does not need sudo privs.
[09:20] <BaB00> AzMoo: thanks.. any software with an GUI ? for direct communication i mean ..  my boss is not a big fan of the terminal :D
[09:20] <scv> AmaroqWolf, ???
[09:20] <n4cht> so, i keep hearing about beryl.  is it any good?
[09:20] <AzMoo> BaB00, not that I know of, sorry.
[09:20] <AzMoo> n4cht, it's awesome.
[09:20] <rc-1> is there a way i can edit what sites the session loads, or turn off flash, or block a site from loading?
[09:20] <BaB00> no problem.. thanks
[09:21] <musya> n4cht: do you know why it crashes?
[09:21] <n4cht> AzMoo, sweety.  once I upgrade from breezy, I'll have to try it out.  Is it a pain to install?
[09:21] <musya> maybe just a firefox bug?
[09:21] <scv> AmaroqWolf, my ff 2.0 is ok on windows
[09:21] <AmaroqWolf> Oh, when it comes to flashes?
[09:21] <n4cht> musya, nope.  i haven't stopped being lazy enough to fire up firefox (har!) from command line without & to catch the verbose end of things yet.
[09:22] <AzMoo> n4cht, it can be. The latest version doesn't work with XGL for me so I had to drop one back, but it's worth it.
[09:22] <AmaroqWolf> It seems to just be on linux that it crashes for flashes if the flash isn't the newest.
[09:22] <grol> i have great problems with my USB WLAN Adapter, who can help
[09:22] <musya> hehe
[09:22] <rc-1> anyone know how to turn off flash in firefox, totally block a site, or edit what sessions it loads?
[09:22] <scv> grol, d-link?
[09:22] <Kazin> ubotu, thanks that helped me get the driver installed, and now i can use the proper refresh rate, but im still stuck at low resolution
[09:22] <twisties> Can I install KDE without all the extra programs it comes with? Tried it on my mates computer but it installs hundreds of unnecessary apps
[09:22] <AzMoo> Kazin, ubotu is a bot ;)
[09:22] <musya> twisties: maybe they are nessasery then?
[09:22] <Kazin> oh
[09:22] <AmaroqWolf> svc, in fact, when I was having trouble with my firefox crashing from flashes, I installed a windows version of firefox under wine as a substitute. lol
[09:22] <Rajiv2> Hi... can anyone help me get my blue tooth dial up going
[09:23] <grol> scv - yes d-link - dwl-g122 -
[09:23] <Kazin> yeah
[09:23] <Kazin> sorry
[09:23] <Kazin> lol
[09:23] <eternalswd> rc-1, if you uninstall flash, that should do the trick, or try the FlashBlock extension.
[09:23] <AzMoo> Kazin, you'll need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:23] <Kazin> azmoo :P
[09:23] <twisties> over 300 games/edugames/image stuff/chat stuff?
[09:23] <frogzoo> !me being a bot
[09:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about me being a bot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:23] <scv> grol, I have a g132
[09:23] <rc-1> eternalswd, i cant install the plugin without losing my session :(
[09:23] <AmaroqWolf> eternalswd, I think he should install the flash package neccesary to avoid firefox crashing from flashes in the first place.
[09:23] <scv> grol, g-122 is junk now
[09:23] <n4cht> Kazin: that's not just your nvidia card.  ubuntu's loading default setting for your monitor, you might want to consult your mfg provided manual for the proper settings and get your hands dirty with manually editing the X conf.
[09:23] <musya> twisties: yea you can manually choose from all of the kde packages, just install kde and the libs for it,and other need packages it requires, then install what apps you want from kde.
[09:23] <Rajiv2> Hi... can anyone help me get my blue tooth dial up going
[09:24] <musya> twisties: apt-cache search kde
[09:24] <AmaroqWolf> rc-1, by session do you mean the tabs, or do you mean session sessions?
[09:24] <grol> hello
[09:24] <musya> twisties: have fun
[09:24] <twisties> k thanks :) Just want to see if its better with Beryl than Gnome
[09:24] <eternalswd> rc-1, it's easy to install flash 9, just download the installer from adobe and copy the plugins to ~/.mozilla/plugins, or it should be in backports
[09:25] <grol> scv - what do you mean with "junk know"
[09:25] <rc-1> eternalswd, thats not the problem, i have flash 9
[09:25] <n4cht> Rajiv2: you just made me cry a little inside.  i tried doing that myself through my sprint vision pcs phone, since it doubles as a modem... and it was a terrifying experience that i never want to relive.  however, chances are one of these fine chaps will be able to get you up and running!  full of knowledge they are!
[09:25] <rc-1> its something that makes firefox jump around the screen, and spam porn adds
[09:25] <Rajiv2> Man.. I got the phone modem quried.. works fine
[09:26] <AzMoo> rc-1, serious? wow. Can you pm me the link?
[09:26] <Rajiv2> When I try to dial out gets stuck on the step that says intializing modem
[09:26] <grol> scv, i tried first with ndiswrapper but found on dapper rt2470
[09:26] <eternalswd> rc-1, ah, then I'd suggest installing adblock plus
[09:26] <scv> grol, iirc, its chip is not good
[09:26] <AmaroqWolf> rc-1, here's a little trick. If you wan't to close firefox without losing your tabs. Forecequit it, go into your system manager, and end anything firefox. Then next time you start it, it'll ask you if you want to restore the session. :P
[09:26] <AmaroqWolf> I think you gotta have firefox 2 though, for that.
[09:26] <n4cht> Rajiv2: AH!  You just reminded me of the olden days, which I won't get into lest I date myself, but that really just means you need to find out with that proper init string for the modem is.
[09:26] <AzMoo> AmaroqWolf, or the tab mix plus plugin.
[09:27] <eternalswd> rc-1, it'd also be a good idea to install noscript and only allow trusted sites to run javascript.  that'll kill a bunch of the problems
[09:27] <scv> grol, iirc, g-132 was even supported by bsd
[09:27] <rc-1> Amaranth, yes i do that, but when i do it reloads the crashing site
[09:27] <AmaroqWolf> AzMoo, I always wondered if there was a plugin for saving tabs.
[09:27] <rc-1> eternalswd, its flash i already have adblock/noscript
[09:27] <Rajiv2> I have a init string from my service provider but where do I paste it
[09:27] <Rajiv2> In initialisation string 1
[09:27] <Rajiv2> ?
[09:27] <frogzoo> AmaroqWolf: there is
[09:27] <rc-1> AzMoo, ill pm u the link once i can see what it is
[09:27] <n4cht> Rajiv2: That sounds about right.
[09:27] <AzMoo> rc-1, hah, thanks.
[09:27] <eternalswd> rc-1, then just uninstall flash or install the flashblock extension
[09:28] <Rajiv2> And the result is that it still goes no where
[09:28] <grol> scv, but i found a driver in ubuntuforum called rt2470
[09:28] <Rajiv2> The AT strings work fine
[09:28] <frogzoo> AmaroqWolf: Tab Saver
[09:28] <Rajiv2> I can query the modem just fine
[09:28] <scv> grol, I don't know
[09:28] <rc-1> eternalswd, ill have to uninstall flash, i cant install a plugin when it crashes on load!
[09:29] <grol> scv, ok, thanx
[09:29] <lars__> I have a problem with gcc.. when i install it it only get the i486 compiler executables.. i want the i686
[09:29] <lars__> how can i fix that
[09:29] <n4cht> Rajiv2: Weird.  You've got me totally stumped then.  If the init phase is what hangs, but the init string is supposedly the proper one (according to your isp) then the only thing I can suggest is double checking that init string through the mfg of the modem.
[09:29] <AmaroqWolf> Here's an interesting question. I have a CD rom drive. It has a button on the door. It pops out when I press it. However, when I have a CD in it, and I press the button, it does nothing. I have to eject the CD via telling it to eject from the system for it to eject. Is there a way I can make the button eject when there's a CD in it?
[09:29] <rc-1> eternalswd, thanks i wish there was a better way though :( whats the command to remove flash? (i cant use firefox to lookup! :(
[09:29] <eternalswd> rc-1, then uninstall it, install flashblock and reinstall it, then you should have control over what flash content is actually used.
[09:29] <Rajiv2> n4cht is there anyway I can get a hold of you I have to go out for a meeting
[09:29] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: You have to unmount the drive.  :)
[09:30] <Rajiv2> I like Kubuntu but if it can't get me online its pointless
[09:30] <eternalswd> rc-1, did you install from the repository?
[09:30] <rc-1> AzMoo, did it crash your firefox too (if that was it)
[09:30] <n4cht> Rajiv2: I'll be around here a lot.
[09:30] <n4cht> :)
[09:30] <rc-1> eternalswd, ya i think
[09:30] <Rajiv2> see you in an hour
[09:30] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht, I can right click the CD icon and tell it to eject, and it pops open. Unless I'm not understanding what unmount means.
[09:31] <Fedge> Can someone help me install gnome from command line?
[09:31] <eternalswd> rc-1, then just open up synaptic and search for flash the right click mark for uninstall and apply
[09:31] <AzMoo> rc-1, that's pretty crazy, I want to know how they did that.
[09:32] <NoEvidenZ> Could someone direct me to a channel where I can find out about games on Linux?
[09:32] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: That's actually how it's supposed to work.  You can alternately type "sudo umount /media/cdrom" and then press the eject button on your drive.  :)
[09:32] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht: ah, okay. Isn't there a way to make it unmount and eject by pressing the button?
[09:32] <rc-1> AzMoo, yeah it was the most awful popup ive ever seen in firefox
[09:32] <AzMoo> rc-1, just press ctrl-w to close the tab to stop it though.
[09:33] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: There sure is.  I just can't remember how to do it without the package you can snag via Automatix (Which, of course, is not supported nor generally discussed here.)
[09:33] <AmaroqWolf> lol rc-1, I'm curious about this ad that apparently shakes the screen and such.
[09:33] <SurfnKid> !w32codecs
[09:33] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[09:33] <musya> NoEvidenZ: #linuxhelp

[09:34] <Fedge> How can I install gnome from the command line?
[09:34] <n4cht> If not used properly, it sure can.  Or, at the very least, totally break apt.
[09:34] <rc-1> NOONE ELSE CLICK THIS AmaroqWolf click at your own risk doom3.zoy.org DONT CLICK
[09:34] <cypher1> Fedge: i guess sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:34] <musya> Fedge: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:34] <AzMoo> rc-1, did it actually crash firefox for you?
[09:35] <rc-1> AzMoo, yes :(
[09:35] <AzMoo> spewin.
[09:35] <Fedge> musya: thanks a lot, i've been struggling for an hour
[09:35] <AzMoo> rc-1, just kept jumping around the screen for me, no crash.
[09:35] <n4cht> That link ROCKS rc-1
[09:35] <AmaroqWolf> rc-1, holy shit
[09:36] <rc-1> n4cht, AmaroqWolf i warned you
[09:36] <eternalswd> rc-1, my school blocks that site :p
[09:36] <AmaroqWolf> What I'm curious about is how it can control my window this much.
[09:36] <mindamp> i just did a fresh install of edgy desktop..
[09:36] <mindamp> and it didnt ask to create a user..
[09:36] <eliasson> Hi, anyone know why i get this errors: http://www.coreinet.com/error
[09:36] <mindamp> so i had to boot into recovery mode and create a user, but when i try to add him to the admin group... there is no admin group!
[09:37] <Fedge> musya: once installed, "startx" starts up gnome, right?
[09:37] <mindamp> i have done several installs, and the only other time i have seen this i just reinstalled...
[09:37] <mindamp> any suggestions?
[09:37] <AzMoo> Madpilot, that's a bit harsh. He actually asked for it and there was plenty of warning and description first.
[09:37] <AmaroqWolf> lmfao, firefox has blocked 704 popups.
[09:37] <mindamp> fedge.. startx starts X
[09:37] <Fedge> as in X11
[09:37] <lars__> I have a problem with gcc.. when i install it it only get the i486 compiler executables.. i want the i686
[09:37] <Flannel> mindamp: Sounds like you didn't actually finish the install.  Did anything happen befre it finished?
[09:37] <Fedge> what starts up gnome then?
[09:37] <Madpilot> AzMoo, posting links known to be dangerous is never cool. He can come back in 48hrs
[09:37] <mindamp> nah..
[09:37] <mindamp> even got to the "take cd out and hit continue"
[09:38] <Flannel> mindamp: This is the alternate CD? or the Desktop CD?
[09:38] <mindamp> can i boot the cd again, and somehow just get into the group and user creation part?
[09:38] <mindamp> the desktopCD
[09:38] <mindamp> edgy 5.10
[09:38] <AmaroqWolf> I thought linux is all secure and crap. How can something take control of my window, un-maximise it, resize it, and move it around the screen randomly so I can't catch it to close it?
[09:38] <mindamp> or can i just create the admin group?
[09:38] <Flannel> mindamp: hmm, very odd.  Edgy is 6.10 ;)  but.. um, no, I dont believe you can skip forward.  Try reinstalling, I guess.
[09:39] <mindamp> blasted.
[09:39] <mindamp> "so i cant catch it to close it"?
[09:39] <mindamp> lmfao
[09:39] <AmaroqWolf> That link rc-1 gave me. xD
[09:39] <musya> Fedge: you can change the session type in the login screen
[09:39] <mindamp> whats your ip AmaroqWolf?
[09:39] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: xkill = your friend.  :D  After the initial novelty of it wore off, I killed it dead.
[09:40] <mindamp> hrm
[09:40] <Fedge> musya: could you elaborate a bit?
[09:40] <AmaroqWolf> It resized my firefox, began endlessly and randomly moving it around my screen, and repeatedly playing "hey, I'm looking at gay porno", while mplayer tried (unsuccessfully, thank god), to load something. And n4cht, I did forcequit it.
[09:40] <AzMoo> n4cht, ctrl-w closes the tab ;)
[09:40] <Flannel> Guys, it's not appropriate, let alone ontopic.  drop it.
[09:41] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: Just be glad that didn't happen at work or something.
[09:41] <AmaroqWolf> xD Yeah.
[09:41] <musya> Fedge: in your login screen once you restart, you will see a menu option there go to session type, and choose gnome
[09:41] <AmaroqWolf> n4cht, firefox also blocked 704 popups.
[09:41] <n4cht> that's funny.
[09:41] <musya> hey firefox is not doig anything its not loading my pages
[09:41] <AmaroqWolf> xD Indeed.
[09:41] <Fedge> musya: this is after ubuntu-desktop is installed?
[09:41] <musya> any suggestions to fix it
[09:41] <frogzoo> eliphas_: you trying to install audacious on dapper?
[09:41] <musya> Fedge: correct
[09:41] <n4cht> Still chugging away at upgrading to dapper.
[09:41] <AmaroqWolf> mindamp, why would you like to know my IP address?
[09:42] <musya> !ip
[09:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ip - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:42] <musya> !slap
[09:42] <Fedge> musya: is there anyway to install gnome without having to DL and install the full blown desktop version?
[09:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about slap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:42] <mindamp-thinking> AmaroqWolf.. it was a joke, I know your IP address :-P
[09:42] <n4cht> 8 minutes left on downloading the packages.  repo is soo slow.
[09:42] <AmaroqWolf> Oh haha.
[09:42] <mindamp> so whats wrong with gay porn anyways?
[09:43] <AmaroqWolf> I believe I know your IP address too. :P
[09:43] <mindamp> well i guess if they are guys... that me a little much.
[09:43] <mindamp> er may be a little much
[09:43] <musya> um yea i suppose you can do what twisties did and install each package at a time, but good luck with that one, though he's installing kde, but to find the packages do this, apt-cache search gnome
[09:43] <mindamp> its late, later geeks.
[09:43] <AmaroqWolf> later mind
[09:43] <daaku> anyone know how i can find all the names attached to an IP address (i think nslookup can do it - but i cant figure out how)
[09:44] <n4cht> hey!  I resemble that remark!
[09:44] <Fedge> musya: sounds like i should just stick to the whole thing
[09:44] <musya> tis not late, its early
[09:44] <AmaroqWolf> names, daaku?
[09:44] <musya> Fedge: thats the easiest way to go
[09:44] <musya> :)
[09:44] <Fedge> i just don't need open office and everything
[09:44] <daaku> AmaroqWolf: cnames i guess - my network terminology is not very good
[09:44] <Fedge> but it begins DLing OO and everything else
[09:45] <n4cht> "One to two inches of snow" my EYE!  It's up to 3 inches already and isn't showing any signs of letting up.  bollocks.
[09:45] <AmaroqWolf> daaku, I was just curious. I'm not familiar with that.
[09:45] <musya> Fedge: well i suppose you can delete it later,
[09:45] <musya> if you already have it, it wont download it
[09:46] <Fedge> i don't have it, i was just trying to avoid downloading it
[09:46] <Fedge> i'll just let it go, and check on it in the am
[09:46] <musya> just set it to download while you sleep
[09:47] <yommb> Fedge : thats cose ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage
[09:47] <yommb> cos*
[09:47] <yommb> just try installing gnome2 & some other stuff you need
[09:47] <yommb> for a functional desktop
[09:47] <agliv5> eternalswd, WOW I finally got it installed after only 3 days!!! Thank you so very much :)  Someone should provide a link to this deb on the homepage....
[09:48] <Fedge> yommb: is there an easy way to just install gnome?
[09:48] <Fedge> like apt-get install gnome-everything?
[09:48] <Fedge> :)
[09:48] <musya> Fedge: he said gnome2
[09:48] <Fedge> ooh
[09:48] <gawd> !avi | gawd
[09:48] <AmaroqWolf> That page still bugs me...
[09:48] <musya> !gnome2
[09:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:48] <musya> !gnome
[09:48] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[09:48] <Fedge> i know nothing about gnome2
[09:49] <musya> !gnome install
[09:49] <ubotu> gnome: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.14.2.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 12 kB, installed size 44 kB
[09:49] <AmaroqWolf> Not only are we using linux, but firefox. That's like, doubly secure. A page like that should only be able to take control like it did on something like Internet Explorer.
[09:49] <n4cht> I've never even heard of Gnome2
[09:49] <musya> ok, Fedge
[09:49] <yommb> Fedge : I don't know exactly what the pakages are but its no hard finding out : Try looking dor gnome2 , gnome-desktop .. stuff like that !
[09:49] <yommb> in apt
[09:50] <musya> apt-cache search gnome
[09:50] <yommb> or synaptic
[09:50] <Flannel> AmaroqWolf: It's over.  Go to #ubuntu-offtopic if you still want to talk about it.  And, if you want to stop it from doing that, get a javascript blocker.
[09:50] <musya> you will get a large list of packages,
[09:50] <AmaroqWolf> I'm sorry.
[09:51] <yommb> musya : about 114 :)
[09:51] <musya> find the ones that you think gnome needs and install those only, im not going to find them for you, what ever sounds important basically,
[09:51] <n4cht> AmaroqWolf: That's not a security problem, really.  Though it's annoying as hell, it does no real damage.  It's not malicious in nature, so it's not a security risk at all.  It's just a bunch of harmless javascript and html thrown together carefully to be exactly what it is; the most irritating thing on the internet since star wars kid.
[09:51] <musya> and when you install it will say whats needed, so you'll install them as well
[09:51] <yommb> fedge : synaptic will also take care of the dependencies ; so , you you shoulnt have too much trouble ..
[09:52] <Fedge> how do i lauch synaptic?
[09:52] <bumiii> Hi, anyone know why i get this errors: http://www.coreinet.com/error ?
[09:52] <musya> Fedge: in terminal type synaptic
[09:52] <AzMoo> n4cht, keep it to #ubuntu-offtopic before Flannel kicks you ;)
[09:52] <n4cht> AzMoo, already took it there.  :)
[09:52] <AmaroqWolf> I'm in there now.
[09:53] <Fedge> i must not have it installed, i get command not found
[09:53] <Fedge> all i've got is apt from the basic 6.10 server install
[09:53] <musya> your on a server install?
[09:53] <Fedge> yes, should've mentioned that, sorry
[09:53] <Flannel> Fedge: you won't have synaptic then.  You'll use apt-get, or aptitude, if you want a ncurses based GUI
[09:54] <musya> synaptic
[09:54] <Fedge> i'm just trying to find a simple way to get a gui up
[09:54] <musya> you might just want to install the desktop ubuntu system from a disc instead
[09:54] <musya> i think it has it anyway
[09:54] <musya> might be faster instead of downloading
[09:54] <Flannel> Fedge: well, which GUI would you like?  theres... lots!
[09:55] <dezinezan> hiya
[09:55] <Fedge> gnome is my preference
[09:55] <dezinezan> im back
[09:55] <musya> anybody know of ubuntu hacks?
[09:55] <musya> Fedge: either reinstall ubuntu with the desktop
[09:55] <yommb> Fedge : sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg will install basic x server for you ! Install that and start it with startx ; then install synaptic , or google for the correct gnome2 packages u need for a minimal gnome desktop !
[09:55] <musya> or do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:55] <musya> or choose the packages yourself
[09:55] <yommb> Fedge : sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg will install basic x server for you ! Install that and start it with startx ; then install synaptic , AND *google for the correct gnome2 minimal desktop ckages gnome desktop !
[09:56] <musya> if you install the ubuntu-desktop you can then go back and remove unwanted apps
[09:56] <Flannel> Fedge: Theres a bunch of GUIs you can use.  Depending on how heavy you want your WM to be.  From ratpoison to fluxbox to gnome/kde/etc.  What do you intend on using it for?  A real desktop?
[09:56] <Erbas> can anyone tell me how i'd configure ubuntu for an optus cable modem?
[09:56] <AmaroqWolf> I told a friend of mine that I'm working on making my first .deb package. Which would be easier/better, making a .deb, or making a .rpm and aliening it?
[09:56] <AzMoo> musya, bit of a waste of bandwidth though.
[09:56] <Vema> How do i mount a read only cdrom in ubuntu? I can't browse it in GUI filebrowser, only in console as root.
[09:56] <yommb> People should really do a bit more reading before they start blasting away on #ubuntu ...
[09:57] <yommb> its quite annoying actually ...
[09:57] <musya> AzMoo: yea but he was starting to annoy me
[09:57] <yommb> lazyness .; I guess
[09:57] <Fedge> yommb: i'm sorry if that's directed at me, i've been doing as much research as I can, i just not familiar with commandline linux
[09:58] <Flannel> Fedge: if you just want gnome, you can install generic gnome.  If you want the full blown ubuntu package set, install the "ubuntu-desktop" package.  Also, you'll want to install the desktop kernel and get rid of the -server one.
[09:58] <musya> Fedge: its ok, dont worry about that people who complain about others just think too highly of themselves
[09:58] <yommb> Fedge , no it' just that the channel sometimes is flooding with useless Q's & stuff , it's not directed at you ...
[09:59] <Fedge> well, I appreciate all the help very much
[09:59] <musya> Fedge: id suggest installing the ubuntu-desktop and getting familiar with the terminal
[09:59] <musya> or ussing putty on windows to ssh into your box
[09:59] <musya> to get use to the terminal
[10:00] <Fedge> i guess i just need practice setting everything up commandline
[10:00] <yommb> musya : u must admit that sometimes its a bit over the top .. peepz enetering this channel , really asking useless stuff , or asking : Why is my samba server not working , without having read a single letter of the Samba manual or docs ... see my point ?
[10:00] <musya> AmaroqWolf: read about both and then let us know
[10:01] <musya> yommb: yea stuff like that is, you need to search first then ask,
[10:01] <musya> ask google before asking irc. www.justfuckinggoogleit.com
[10:01] <Flannel> !jfgi | musya
[10:01] <ubotu> musya: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[10:02] <musya> sorry....
[10:02] <dezinezan> my second computer is gnome (i have no idea how to use it or anything) but im trying to set up the internet for both computers, when i run the CD that came with the router, it doesnt work, it fails, but the internet will still work going through the  router and modem that i had before... You guys told me to find another cable and insert it into the 2nd slot and then into the 2nd (gnome) computer... I DID that and the wireles
[10:02] <yommb> musya : I always want to help people who are stuck ; just not those who are lazy :)
[10:02] <black_perl> i install the mplayer and have one fine image and everything but ... the sound have veryyyyyyy noiseeeeee o0 0o ... :x is cruisel strange the flashplayer plays the sound very fine. SOmeone knows how can i resolve this?!
[10:02] <Flannel> musya: that's not how this channel operates
[10:03] <dezinezan> *sigh
[10:03] <yommb> Flannel : he knows we were just discussing that point :)
[10:03] <yommb> read my former comment
[10:03] <musya> Flannel:  yommb was right about one thing, people come in asking quesiotns without searching first
[10:03] <yommb> 2 up !
[10:04] <Flannel> musya: and there's nothing inheritly wrong with that.  But this is offtopic.
[10:04] <dezinezan> and iv came back and said exactly what has happened or worked or ect.... how do i tell if the 2nd is actually connected? do i have to do something on the 2nd computer (mac/linux/gnome) to get the internet set and running? like on this computer, (windows xp home) i have to go to Start/Connect/DSL
[10:05] <Flannel> dezinezan: if you have a router, and both computers are plugged into the router, they should work out of the box.
[10:06] <Flannel> dezinezan: oh, with DSL... you need to dialout.  Most of the time you set that up on the router itself, so it knows how to dialout (and stays connected all of the time).  Then as far as the computers are concerned theyre on the internet, and don't care how
[10:06] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, just start a browser and try to go to a page.
[10:06] <dezinezan> yes it shows that BOTH are working.. like the 1 & 2 are both lite up...  but my stepdad is on the other comp, the mac, and im not seein the internet working.. and im not sure if i have to DO something to get it going.. like on this one, i have to connect it manually
[10:07] <musya> anyway GNight Guys its late
[10:08] <maverick> hey guys stupid question but i thought i would ask. basically my net is capped and i wont til install ubuntu on my laptop, only problem is the only disk i got is the x64 (laptop is 32bit) is it possible to install 32 bit of the 64 bit disk???
[10:08] <Flannel> maverick: nope
[10:08] <maverick> dam
[10:09] <dezinezan> OMG
[10:09] <bernie_> hey guys, i have working xgl, i just have one problem, i cant change my emerald theme
[10:09] <dezinezan> my stepdad opened a online game on the 2nd comp and now its windowed some how and we cant get it closed.. the ctrl+alt+del doesnt work like on this one..
[10:09] <dezinezan> and we forced to reboot it
[10:09] <dezinezan> -_-
[10:09] <NoEvidenZ> Hey guys. My friend's trying to boot Ubuntu. When he puts in the live cd, it boots to the selection screen, then when he chooses to Install, instead of loading to the GUI, it loads for a while, then shows up as a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top corner. Can anyone help?
[10:10] <dezinezan> not sure why he did online game
[10:10] <icatalina> hello
[10:10] <dezinezan> i wish i could uninstll this and install windows, but it doesnt work..
[10:11] <icatalina> i'm having problems with the video playback
[10:11] <aalhamad> how can i customize the lock screen ?
[10:11] <icatalina> when i play video the Xorg process goes to 80%~100% of CPU
[10:11] <icatalina> it's only happens when i play video with subtitules and i don't know why....
[10:12] <dezinezan> i opened browzer
[10:12] <dezinezan> and it says...
[10:12] <dezinezan> Looking up google.com...
[10:12] <dezinezan> but does NOTHING at all
[10:13] <dezinezan> why is this making this so complex, i did everything it said.. and nothing is seeming to work..
[10:13] <dezinezan> this is using java
[10:14] <dezinezan> i used to know ALL the server and chanserv, nickserv, operserv and everything
[10:14] <dezinezan> oh well
[10:14] <dezinezan> ok
[10:14] <dezinezan> 5mins later..
[10:14] <Flannel> !enter | dezinezan
[10:14] <ubotu> dezinezan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:14] <dezinezan> it says.. Server not Found?
[10:14] <enemy574> hi
[10:15] <aalhamad> how can i customize the lock screen ? plz help
[10:15] <Flannel> dezinezan: has he restarted since being plugged in to the router?
[10:15] <Flannel> dezinezan: and, you're online while he's doing this, right?
[10:15] <NoEvidenZ> Can someone help me with an Edgy i386 problem? When my friend puts in the Live CD, it doesn't load the GUI properly. It loads for a while, then sits at a black screen with a cursor in the top left instead of booting into the OS.
[10:15] <dezinezan> yea
[10:15] <dezinezan> on this comp
[10:15] <Hmmmm> hi guys, any familiar with managing bugzilla?
[10:15] <dezinezan> but on macs/linux/gnome..
[10:16] <Hmmmm> i want bugzilla to use the htaccess auth used by svn
[10:16] <dezinezan> do you have to do anything like go to Start.>Connect.>DSL
[10:16] <sasha_AMU> HI
[10:16] <dezinezan> or SOMETHING.. im not sure because i have never used mac before, and im not absolute
[10:16] <philosophus> dezinezan: Err, why would you need that, and what would it do?
[10:16] <Flannel> !dsl | dezinezan, this would be the equivalent
[10:16] <ubotu> dezinezan, this would be the equivalent: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[10:17] <philosophus> ah
[10:17] <dezinezan> this.. ?
[10:17] <dezinezan> this what?
[10:17] <Flannel> but, really... if your router is setup correctly, you don't need that.  since the router takes care of conencting.
[10:17] <Flannel> dezinezan: follow the link
[10:18] <philosophus> dezinezan: And since you were asking about macs, and I just happen to be using one right now - the configuration for it is in the PPPoE tab of the Network preference panel.
[10:20] <dezinezan> gerr... its at the "sudo ppoeconf" and i hit enter, and it says.. Password:
[10:20] <Flannel> dezinezan: that's your password, for sudo.
[10:20] <Lynoure> dezinezan: yes, yours
[10:20] <Flannel> !sudo | dezinezan
[10:20] <ubotu> dezinezan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:20] <NoEvidenZ> Anyone even heard of this error before and could point me in the right direction?
[10:21] <dezinezan> it wont let me type a password..
[10:21] <dezinezan> it says blank
[10:21] <AzMoo> dezinezan, it will always stay blank.
[10:21] <dezinezan> ah ok
[10:21] <dezinezan> i didnt knowthat...
[10:21] <Flannel> dezinezan: that's so people over your shoulder don't see your password
[10:21] <AzMoo> dezinezan, stops people from seeing how many characters your password is.
[10:21] <ifndefx2> hi, I had installed linux on my laptop (macbook) and have noticed that the sound volume is really low, when I reboot into Vista or XP the sound volume is good. I checked the volume control and it was at maximum. Does any one how to resolve this issue ?
[10:21] <dezinezan> oh ok
[10:22] <dezinezan> ok
[10:22] <dezinezan> it says..
[10:22] <Lynoure> NoEvidenZ: I had similar problem with Breezy live cd, but worked fine with Dapper. Some hardware incompability, possibly or faulty cd.
[10:22] <AzMoo> ifndefx2, If you find the answer to that can you let me know? I'm having the same issue on another box. I've just cranked the speakers up to full.
[10:23] <theherbalizer> how can i copy a hard drive? i have a 120gb with 6.10 currently installed on it, but i want to move it over to a 300gb drive.
[10:23] <ifndefx2> ahhh kool its not just me
[10:23] <Flannel> NoEvidenZ: did he burn at 4x or so?  does the CD integrity check?
[10:24] <NoEvidenZ> Running the check cd thingy now.
[10:24] <dezinezan> " I found 1 ethernet device: eth0     Are all your ethernet interfaces listed above? (If No, modconf will be started so you can load the card drivers manually). Or press ESC to abort here.
[10:24] <Flannel> theherbalizer: all the files can just be copied.  You'llneed to reinstall grub to the MBR though.
[10:24] <Flannel> !grub | theherbalizer
[10:24] <ubotu> theherbalizer: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:24] <Flannel> theherbalizer: obviously, partition it up how you want first
[10:24] <theherbalizer> done, used qtparted
[10:24] <Flannel> theherbalizer: that first link (the lost after windows) gives instructions on how to reinstall grub to the MBR
[10:24] <theherbalizer> 5 gigs for swap sound adequate?
[10:25] <AmaroqWolf> o.o
[10:25] <AmaroqWolf> theherbalizer, you only need as much swap as you have ram.
[10:25] <theherbalizer> rock on, then
[10:25] <Flannel> theherbalizer: How much RAM do you have?
[10:25] <dezinezan> umm.. not to sound stupid, but what exactly do i do after it says that?
[10:26] <theherbalizer> 2gb
[10:26] <Flannel> theherbalizer: traditionally swap has been double your RAM, but I'd never make swap more than 1-2G, unless you know you need it.
[10:26] <theherbalizer> with another 2 in the mail from newegg
[10:26] <Flannel> theherbalizer: well, if youre having 4GB of ram, and plan on hibernating, you'll need 4GB swap at least
[10:26] <theherbalizer> well, i have 300 gigs and three other 120gb harddrives, so space isn't too much of an issue for me
[10:27] <Flannel> theherbalizer: you might actually want to look into LVM
[10:27] <theherbalizer> !lvm
[10:27] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[10:27] <theherbalizer> oh, raid, i see what you're doing there
[10:27] <Flannel> LVM allows you to massage partitions however you'd like
[10:27] <Flannel> no, not RAID, LVM
[10:27] <dezinezan> all the lights are on everything is working as it says its supposed to look like when the lights are lite up.. and i .......... GERR
[10:27] <dezinezan> it says..
[10:27] <theherbalizer> set up a mirror and seperate them?
[10:28] <Flannel> theherbalizer: LVM is not anything to do with a RAID.  LVM sets up an additional abstraction layer, allows you to ignore hardware storage.
[10:28] <theherbalizer> ohhhhhhhhhhh
[10:28] <Flannel> for instance, you could have... two 180GB partitions, if you'd like
[10:28] <dezinezan> Sorry I scanned 1 interface, but the access concentrator of your provider did not repond. Please check your netword and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process  which controls the modem"
[10:28] <theherbalizer> alright, copy files and work on grub. i'll look into this, thanks!
[10:29] <Flannel> Or, if you have less than 300GB of data (with both HDs you currently have), move everything onto the 300gb, yank the 120, and add in another one.  without much hassle.
[10:29] <dezinezan> this is why i useally deal with something other than mac's like.. windows or something,  because this isnt working when it says it is
[10:30] <theherbalizer> Flannel: that's what i was thinking of doing
[10:30] <dezinezan> i typed.. "pon dsl-provider" and its running somethnig and making funny codes
[10:31] <Flannel> theherbalizer: IBM appears to be down... but: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/ has a great rundown of what it is and stuff.
[10:31] <theherbalizer> besides, the 300 is sata and this 120 is ide, a little speed boost might be nice
[10:31] <Flannel> theherbalizer: with fancy pictures and everything
[10:31] <theherbalizer> google cache to the rescue
[10:32] <ifndefx2> AzMoo: I think I found it to make it abit better which might assist you, I opened up volume control > file >Change Device > and I had another device which was a little lower, I've increased that and it has made it better. try that dude
[10:32] <Occasus> heyhey
[10:32] <dezinezan> *sigh... idk what the heck is wrong. and iv never used mac before and when i try doing or following what something says, it just fails.. it doesnt work out for me, yet the router shows the 2nd light lite up like its working.. but im not even sure how to get it working.. when i ask you guys.. you give me a link, i follow the link as much as i can, then it leads me to a failed connect
[10:33] <Occasus> what is up dezinezan
[10:33] <Flannel> dezinezan: macs aren't ubuntu, they'd be completely different.  And, all the light (usually) means is the hardware link
[10:33] <dezinezan> ok
[10:34] <dezinezan> whats ubuntu exactly and what is gnome, because when my mom bought the computer it came like this
[10:34] <Fedge> Flannel: I think i've gnome all installed, but when I try to start it up i get "no screens found"
[10:34] <dezinezan> and my dad always used to set everything up
[10:34] <AmaroqWolf> There should be a seperate light on the router for it's connection to the modem. And another light or two on the modem for it's connection to the internet.
[10:34] <dezinezan> hes long gone
[10:34] <AmaroqWolf> gnome is a desktop enviromnent
[10:35] <dezinezan> like WindowBlinds?
[10:35] <Bhaskar> Fedge, can i get this file : libgcj.so.7 in ubuntu 6.06 from where ?
[10:35] <AmaroqWolf> uh, I dunno what WindowBlinds is.
[10:35] <AmaroqWolf> But it's basically what you see when you log in.
[10:35] <dezinezan> its a program that lets you change your theme on windows
[10:36] <dezinezan> ok..
[10:36] <AzMoo> ifndefx2, winner. I didn't think of OSS
[10:36] <dezinezan> something that would help me MUCH more and ALOT better..
[10:36] <AmaroqWolf> I think windows can already change theme. xD But you gotta know how.
[10:37] <AmaroqWolf> And in gnome, I think you can change the theme too.
[10:37] <dezinezan> DOES ANYONE know how to UNiSNTALL and get RID of gnome or ubuntu or what ever this 2nd computer has, and INSTALL windows, so its something im used too, THEN i will know what to do
[10:37] <Madpilot> dezinezan, AmaroqWolf - in Gnome, go System->Preferences->Theme
[10:38] <dezinezan> i dont want to or need to change my theme..
[10:38] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, what do you need help with? Is your router setup working yet?
[10:39] <dezinezan> no its messing up still.. if i could uninstall THIS whats on it and came on it.. the unbuntu/gnome, then INSTALL windows xp on the computer..it would make this alot easyer..
[10:39] <dezinezan> when we put the disc in for windows xp home, at the start-up, it said it couldnt be ran
[10:39] <AzMoo> dezinezan, you can't "uninstall" it. It's an operating system. You just install windows over top.
[10:39] <Rajiv0> Hi... anyone know how to get your bluetooth dialup setup
[10:40] <dezinezan> thats what i thought..
[10:40] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: then you'd have to ask in ##windows, surely, as that's a windows question?  install windows over the top, and tell it to take all the disk
[10:40] <dezinezan> but everytime we run the disc.. it says.. "theres no preesisting windows"
[10:40] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: is it an upgrader disk, by any chance?
[10:41] <dezinezan> its the windows xp home that we installed on this.. its .. DAMIT, stepdad just looked it IS upgrade.. we will have to get the FULL program
[10:41] <dezinezan> is there a way..
[10:41] <unska> where can i set swap drive from?
[10:41] <dezinezan> we could install e-machines over it, and on the e-machines disc it has the actuall full windows
[10:42] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: you'd really hvae to ask in ##windows.  most of us dont try reinstalling windows.
[10:42] <Rajiv0> If you have not preinstall a swap drive you will have to resize the  partition by starting the seutp again
[10:42] <dezinezan> im not REstinalling..
[10:42] <unska> Rajiv0, i have a 2gb empty partition
[10:42] <AzMoo> dezinezan, we can't help you with windows here. Go to ##windows and ask there.
[10:42] <unska> i just want to set it as swap for ubuntu
[10:43] <dezinezan> but im not looking for help with windows
[10:43] <Rajiv0> Okay.. here is what you do.. boot from the linux disc
[10:43] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: you're installing windows over the top?  getting rid of ubuntu?
[10:43] <dezinezan> im looking for help on how to get rid of this .. Ubuntu
[10:43] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: when you install windows, that automatically happens.
[10:43] <Rajiv0> run setup and when it asks you for options
[10:43] <dezinezan> that would help
[10:43] <Rajiv0> Select manually select the partitions
[10:43] <unska> okay
[10:43] <unska> thanks
[10:43] <Flannel> dezinezan: you don't "get rid" of operating sstems, you just install other stuff (windows, in this case) over top of it.
[10:43] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: sure, you can delete ubuntu - but then you wont actually have *any* operating system on your computer, so it wont run.
[10:43] <n4cht> !upgrading
[10:44] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:44] <dezinezan> yea
[10:44] <dezinezan> i see what you are saying..
[10:44] <Rajiv0> and then it will show you the blank partitions
[10:44] <dezinezan> im typing most of what my stepdad is saying..
[10:44] <AzMoo> unska, mkswap /dev/xxx
[10:44] <dezinezan> im starting to understand more just from yuor help
[10:44] <AmaroqWolf> You gotta make sure your windows CD is an installing one, not an upgrading one.
[10:44] <Rajiv0> then select swap partition option
[10:44] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: and your attempt to install windows on the empty partition will give you the same problem - the blank disk doesnt know about windows.
[10:44] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: :)
[10:44] <Rajiv0> that is the most user friendly way
[10:44] <dezinezan> so later i can get windows, the full version
[10:44] <dezinezan> yea
[10:44] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: you cant really do anything until you get the windows full version.
[10:45] <Hobbsee> unless you keep using ubuntu
[10:45] <dezinezan> i didnt relize it was a UPGRADING until JUST NOW
[10:45] <dezinezan> so sorry to look so stupid
[10:45] <Hobbsee> heh, fair enough :)
[10:45] <Hobbsee> it's fine :)
[10:45] <dezinezan> but you have helps very much
[10:45] <Hobbsee> :)
[10:45] <Hobbsee> not a problem
[10:45] <Flannel> unska: you just edit the fstab, to include that partition as swap
[10:45] <liuwei>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[10:45] <dezinezan> ahmm
[10:46] <dezinezan> its been like 5-6 years since i have membered or used operserv or any of these commands ..
[10:46] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, I think you should give ubuntu a chance. I'd never want to go back to windows, and I doubt anybody else here would either. :P
[10:46] <dezinezan> is it still... ./join ##windows
[10:46] <AzMoo> yea
[10:46] <dezinezan> well.. amaroq..
[10:46] <dezinezan> my sister would be using it..
[10:46] <Hobbsee> dezinezan: yes
[10:46] <AmaroqWolf> it's just /join #windows
[10:47] <dezinezan> we just really need just the net working on it
[10:47] <Hobbsee> AmaroqWolf: both work, but the official channel name is ##windows.
[10:47] <AmaroqWolf> oh
[10:47] <Hobbsee> AmaroqWolf: FYI
[10:47] <dezinezan> if the net was working.. we would keep using it
[10:47] <AmaroqWolf> Okay.
[10:47] <dezinezan> no problem, no mind of what OS it is
[10:47] <cypher1> dezinezan: what is keeping you from using net in Ubuntu
[10:47] <AmaroqWolf> If the net isn't working on your router now, it probably wouldn't work on windows either. Ubuntu auto detects wired networks, as does windows. It's in the router setup, not the OS.
[10:49] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you ping your router ?
[10:49] <Rebecca> hey peoples
[10:49] <Junky> does anyone know a distro that will work on my P965 motherboard (JMicron controler) ?
[10:49] <dezinezan> well.. i havent ever used or setup or ANYTHING on this.. so im not absolute if on this i have to do something before, and someone sent me to this.. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE) and im trying to get it running
[10:49] <AmaroqWolf> If you use a linksys router, try ping 129.168.1.1
[10:49] <dezinezan> i have everything plugged right im sure, and when i run the "wireless" router D-Link disc
[10:50] <dezinezan> I WANTED LINKSYS my mom got D-LINK
[10:50] <dezinezan> :(
[10:50] <AmaroqWolf> er
[10:50] <AmaroqWolf> 192.168.1.1
[10:50] <dezinezan> we had used linksys in the past
[10:50] <dezinezan> but my mom wanted me to try something new
[10:50] <dezinezan> -_-
[10:50] <AmaroqWolf> well, you said now you have a linksys wireless router
[10:50] <Flannel> dezinezan: those disks don't do a whole lot, if anything at all.
[10:50] <dezinezan> sorry, i dont mean to type and press enter on so many lines..
[10:50] <Chousuke> what model would you have gotten?
[10:50] <Junky> [10:49]  Junky: does anyone know a distro that will work on my P965 motherboard (JMicron controler) ?
[10:50] <Junky> please help me !!!
[10:50] <Junky> :D
[10:50] <Chousuke> the newer WRT54Gs are bad.
[10:51] <AmaroqWolf> in your terminal, try typing ping 192.168.1.1
[10:51] <Chousuke> they do their job I suppose but you can't hack them ;(
[10:51] <Rebecca> im having a problem with the auto mount feature. when i plug in my camera (it's a standard usb mass storage device to the system) the automount tries to load "camera://Olympus X-450@[usb:004,022] /" and the normal /media/usbblah mounting fails.. occasionally it works but only when im repeatedly plug/unplugging it and i somehow confuse the camera mounting feature long enough for a standard usb mount to work. does anyone know how to disabl
[10:51] <Rebecca> e this camera mounting thingy?
[10:51] <dezinezan> no i said i have a D-Link Wireless Router
[10:51] <YoshiG3> Wow, ubuntu is really turning out great
[10:51] <cypher1> dezinezan: you can use "iwconfig" command to see whether your router has been recognized
[10:51] <AmaroqWolf> oh, D-Link
[10:51] <AmaroqWolf> I'm not sure what IP address those use.
[10:51] <YoshiG3> Able to play all my games in wine, and it runs much faster, I'm extremely happy with ubuntu :D
[10:52] <dezinezan> alright.. do i type that in the terminal?
[10:52] <cypher1> dezinezan: yes
[10:52] <AmaroqWolf> I believe so
[10:52] <dezinezan> i heard linux was a hacking/gaming based OS
[10:52] <dezinezan> honestly.. im not sure
[10:52] <cypher1> dezinezan: you can paste it @ pastebin
[10:52] <cypher1> !pastebin | dezinezan
[10:52] <ubotu> dezinezan: 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)
[10:52] <AmaroqWolf> lol that's for wireles
[10:52] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, try ifconfig.
[10:53] <cypher1> dezinezan: i thought you were trying for wireless! pls correct me if not
[10:53] <frogzoo> dezinezan: to be pedantic, ubuntu is based on the linux kernel, gnu tools, and gnome/kde desktop with sun's openoffice as the office suite
[10:53] <AmaroqWolf> He does have a wireless router, but he doesn't care whether it's wireless or wired. He just wants internet.
[10:53] <dezinezan> im trying to do anything that will get internet on the 2nd computer.. wireless or not
[10:53] <AmaroqWolf> Is internet working on the 1st one?
[10:53] <dezinezan> THANK YOU Amaroq
[10:53] <dezinezan> yes
[10:53] <cypher1> dezinezan: cool then start with "wired"
[10:53] <dezinezan> thats the one im on
[10:54] <Junky> [10:49]  Junky: does anyone know a distro that will work on my P965 motherboard (JMicron controler) ?
[10:54] <Junky> please ?!
[10:54] <AmaroqWolf> Where is it hooked up to on the router?
[10:54] <frogzoo> Junky: google linux  P965 motherboard (JMicron controler)
[10:54] <dezinezan> the first slot?
[10:54] <dezinezan> but i had to create a new connection
[10:54] <cypher1> dezinezan: please do "netstat -in" and "netstat -rn"
[10:54] <dezinezan> and on the other.. im not sure how to do it on mac
[10:54] <dezinezan> i typed the last thing you said
[10:54] <AmaroqWolf> well, then hook up to the second one to the second slow
[10:54] <dezinezan> the ifconfig
[10:54] <Rebecca> does anyone know about my mounting issue?
[10:54] <AmaroqWolf> ah
[10:55] <dezinezan> umm
[10:55] <dezinezan> i cant paste from the other comp
[10:55] <AmaroqWolf> go to pastebin, and paste what it said so we can see
[10:55] <AmaroqWolf> actually
[10:55] <AmaroqWolf> is there a section that says eth0?
[10:55] <cypher1> Rebecca: i am not sure.. but i guess you can read about udev rules
[10:56] <frogzoo> Rebecca: sys -> prefs -> removable media -> camera - may help
[10:56] <Rebecca> frogzoo: do you know how it could help?
[10:56] <Rebecca> i have looked there already
[10:56] <dezinezan> one sec
[10:56] <frogzoo> Rebecca: you can disable the automount that way...
[10:56] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, when you did ifconfig, there should be two sections, eth0 and lo, right?
[10:56] <dezinezan> ill see if i can put on disc and put on this.. so i can paste.. not sure if it will work
[10:56] <dezinezan> oh
[10:56] <dezinezan> ahmm
[10:56] <dezinezan> yeas
[10:57] <dezinezan> eth0 & lo
[10:57] <AmaroqWolf> lo is local, and eth0 is your ethernet card.
[10:57] <AmaroqWolf> under the eth0 one, what does it say for inet addr: ?
[10:57] <frogzoo> Rebecca: oh, only the autoimport can be disabled, not the mounting itself
[10:57] <cypher1> frogzoo: will udev rules help for Rebecca ?
[10:57] <dezinezan> 192.168.0.134
[10:58] <Rebecca> frogzoo: are you talking about peripherals -> digital camera in Kcontrol?
[10:58] <frogzoo> cypher1: the whole HAL/udev thing is black magic to me
[10:58] <dezinezan> O_O ?
[10:58] <AmaroqWolf> that's your IP address.
[10:58] <frogzoo> Rebecca: for kde, I suppose so
[10:58] <dezinezan> ok..
[10:58] <Rebecca> i use kubuntu.. but you guys have been vastly more helpful than ##kubuntu thus far
[10:58] <dezinezan> what exactly i do?
[10:58] <AmaroqWolf> what happens if you open a browser?
[10:59] <AmaroqWolf> like firefox or something
[10:59] <Rebecca> where are udev rules configured?
[10:59] <dezinezan> it says..
[10:59] <cypher1> Rebecca: /etc/udev/rules.d
[10:59] <dezinezan> Welcome to Ubuntu 6.10
[10:59] <AmaroqWolf> what happens if you try to go to a web page?
[10:59] <dezinezan> its just info for that, and its already ON the computer
[10:59] <AmaroqWolf> like www.yahoo.com or something
[10:59] <cypher1> Rebecca: but i am not sure.. you need to read before you try anything there
[10:59] <dezinezan> it just sits there for a sec
[10:59] <dezinezan> then says..
[11:00] <frogzoo> Rebecca: you might check /var/log/messages for whinges
[11:00] <Rebecca> argh.. this is so frustrating.. can i just remove the 'feature' somehow?
[11:00] <dezinezan> it just says.. "Looking up yahoo.com" at the bottom
[11:00] <dezinezan> and then stays doing that for about 5mins
[11:00] <AmaroqWolf> hmm
[11:00] <cypher1> dezinezan: do you have "default" in "netstat -rn" output ?
[11:00] <AmaroqWolf> well, I have an idea. I dunno if it's the problem, but it's worth a shot.
[11:01] <dezinezan> honestly cypher, i have no diea what you just said
[11:01] <dezinezan> :(
[11:01] <dezinezan> default or netstat -rn?
[11:01] <dezinezan> ok Wolf
[11:01] <cypher1> dezinezan: you can type "netstat -rn" in a terminal and see whether the output has an entry with "default"
[11:01] <dezinezan> kk ill try that real fast
[11:01] <Rebecca> this would be a show stopper for a lot of people :/
[11:02] <AmaroqWolf> hmm, I'm doing it too. my default is inet
[11:02] <dezinezan> im not sure exactly what im looking for.. it says..
[11:02] <dezinezan> some code or somethnig then it says..
[11:02] <dezinezan> default: inet, is that what your asking..?
[11:02] <frogzoo> Rebecca: HAL is going through major changes atm
[11:02] <dezinezan> it finally said on the browser..
[11:03] <cypher1> dezinezan: sorry you need to type "netstat -an".. sorry for that
[11:03] <dezinezan> "Server not found ... Firefox cant find the server at www.yahoo.com."
[11:03] <cypher1> dezinezan: sorry you need to type "netstat -ar".. sorry for that
[11:03] <Rebecca> frogzoo: what is HAL?.... other than the 2001 computer i assume
[11:03] <dezinezan> no problem cypher
[11:03] <dezinezan> ok
[11:03] <dezinezan> what i looking for now?
[11:03] <ardchoille> Rebecca: Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
[11:03] <cypher1> Rebecca: HAL == Hardware Abstraction Layer
[11:04] <Rebecca> ardchoille: ok
[11:04] <AmaroqWolf> wow, the output for that is long cypher1
[11:04] <cypher1> dezinezan: for "default".. what does it say
[11:04] <dezinezan> it says Default 192.168.0.1
[11:04] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you please ping that ip address ?
[11:04] <stubblechin> hi, i've installed an ubuntu dapper system with debootstrap. however, it's behaving like a plain debian, not like ubuntu. i log in as root, and any user i create can su to root. there's no admin group. how can i turn this install into a real ubuntu? am i missing a step?
[11:04] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: thats your routing table :)
[11:04] <dezinezan> iv always heard the term "ping" but not sure what that means.. :(
[11:05] <cypher1> dezinezan: do "ping 192.168.0.1" in a terminal
[11:05] <dezinezan> ah ok
[11:05] <ifndefx2> hey does anyone know if there is a program which copies the music from an IPOD to my computer ?
[11:05] <AmaroqWolf> I don't see a default on it
[11:05] <AmaroqWolf> can I just pipe it to grep default?
[11:05] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: did you try "netstat -ra" only ?
[11:06] <AmaroqWolf> ooh
[11:06] <dezinezan> its like "flooding" with info
[11:06] <AmaroqWolf> I did -an
[11:06] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, it's pinging the same address over and over again.
[11:06] <AmaroqWolf> What's it saying?
[11:06] <dezinezan> yes..? im not sure what ping is
[11:06] <cypher1> dezinezan: do you similar to "64 bytes from..."
[11:06] <dezinezan> yes
[11:06] <dezinezan> it says that
[11:06] <cypher1> dezinezan: cool
[11:06] <AmaroqWolf> pinging is sending a packet to that address and measuring the time it takes to return.
[11:07] <metamoss> ifndefx2: I think there's a program called gtkpod that will do it
[11:07] <Rebecca>  /var/log/messages was no help. anywhere else i can look.. im only trying to mount a usb drive... :/
[11:07] <dezinezan> oh ok
[11:07] <Rajiv3> Man I swear soemone shoudl make ubuntu more bluetooth friendly
[11:07] <stubblechin> ifndefx2-i think Amarok does that. http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod
[11:07] <dezinezan> cypher1: "cool" ?
[11:07] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you please ping 64.233.189.104
[11:07] <dezinezan> yea
[11:07] <ifndefx2> metamoss : cool thanks i 'll give it a go
[11:07] <dezinezan> how do i stop the currect
[11:07] <frogzoo> Rebecca: if you run 'dbus-monitor --system' it will spit out some debug info if you insert the device
[11:08] <AmaroqWolf> ctrl+c
[11:08] <dezinezan> its still pinging
[11:08] <Rebecca> frogzoo: ok
[11:08] <dezinezan> thank you
[11:08] <metamoss> ifndefx2: if you're using KDE, stubblechin's suggestion of amarok might be easier though
[11:08] <ifndefx2> stubblechin: Amarok ?
[11:08] <stubblechin> yes, it's an iTunes clone
[11:09] <AmaroqWolf> Contrary to popular belief, I did not take my name from Amarok. lol
[11:09] <dezinezan> it says unreachable
[11:09] <dezinezan> everytime
[11:09] <cypher1> dezinezan: ah
[11:09] <stubblechin> LOL AmaroqWolf
[11:09] <AmaroqWolf> ctrl+c again, to stop it.
[11:09] <cbx33> Hi all if I have a line like this in my fstab....... /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 /
[11:09] <Rebecca> frogzoo: dbus-monitor: command not found
[11:09] <dezinezan> stopped..
[11:09] <ifndefx2> no I'm using gnome, rhythmbox seems to be a Itunes clone, but it can only copy to the ipod and not the other way around.
[11:09] <cbx33> is there any way to mount just the home dir that's under it?
[11:09] <AmaroqWolf> lol stubblechin, I actually got it from a book, julie of the wolves.
[11:09] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you log in to your router and see you are connected to the internet ?
[11:09] <cbx33> ctaully don;t worry
[11:09] <cbx33> I thikn I'l do it another way
[11:10] <dezinezan> login to my router?
[11:10] <stubblechin> AmaroqWolf, never heard of it, is it good? Should i look it up on amazon?
[11:10] <AmaroqWolf> in your browser, dezinezan, type your router's IP address. 192.168.0.1
[11:10] <cypher1> dezinezan: yes ... you can do "http://192.168.0.1"
[11:10] <dezinezan> on this comp?
[11:10] <AmaroqWolf> stubblechin, if you like wolves, it's a good book. Especially the third in the series.
[11:10] <cypher1> dezinezan: yes
[11:10] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, on the ubuntu one
[11:10] <stubblechin> cool! i'll check it out
[11:10] <dezinezan> on the ubuntu one
[11:11] <dezinezan> or THIS one?
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> If you can get to it on the ubuntu one, it'll mean you are connected
[11:11] <cypher1> dezinezan: THIS one
[11:11] <dezinezan> kk
[11:11] <cypher1> dezinezan: sorry ubuntu one
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> :P
[11:11] <cypher1> i guess both should be ok :)
[11:11] <Rebecca> frogzoo: ?
[11:11] <dezinezan> ahmm
[11:11] <AmaroqWolf> Yeah, they should be okay actually. Since he pinged it earlier.
[11:11] <dezinezan> it went to a login
[11:12] <AmaroqWolf> no username, password admin.
[11:12] <dezinezan> i dont remember settnig up a password or anything
[11:12] <AmaroqWolf> I think
[11:12] <AmaroqWolf> linksys does it that way anyway
[11:12] <ifndefx2> ahhh kool GTKPOD does what I wanted it to do. Thanks heaps
[11:12] <AmaroqWolf> It should have some default password, dezinezan. It's manual should be able to tell you what it is.
[11:12] <frogzoo> Rebecca: seems you don't have dbus-1-utils for some reason
[11:13] <metamoss> np
[11:13] <cypher1> dezinezan: probably.. admin and admin ;)
[11:13] <lowfi> dezinezan, i'd guess it's admin/1234
[11:13] <dezinezan> would the password be made when installing the router?
[11:14] <Flannel> dezinezan: the password would probably be whatever the routers default is
[11:14] <dezinezan> admin.. fail .. 123 .. fail
[11:14] <mistform> or you can just reset the router and then get the default password
[11:14] <AmaroqWolf> try administrator
[11:14] <dezinezan> im not even sure the default
[11:14] <Rebecca> frogzoo: installing now
[11:14] <AmaroqWolf> as the pass, the username should be blank
[11:14] <dezinezan> administrator - fail
[11:16] <AmaroqWolf> hmm, off the current task a little bit... try to ping www.yahoo.com
[11:16] <dezinezan> ok
[11:16] <dezinezan> it does nothing at all
[11:17] <CheshireViking> dezinezean: i set up a linksys router for my parents a couple of days ago, the login & password for that was Admin & Admin (maybe admin & admin) hope that helps
[11:17] <Rebecca> frogzoo: am i looking for something particular in the output?
[11:17] <metamoss> could someone please tell me how to permanently store an alias I've created?
[11:17] <AmaroqWolf> CheshireViking, my linksys was blank for user and admin for password.
[11:17] <AmaroqWolf> what'd it do dezinezan?
[11:17] <dezinezan> DAMIT, people keep making me want linkskeys more.. i wanted it.. not D-Link
[11:17] <dezinezan> it said..
[11:18] <dezinezan> ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
[11:18] <AmaroqWolf> hmm
[11:18] <lowfi> metamoss, add it to ~/.bashrc
[11:18] <Rebecca> dezinezan: d-link blows.. i know.. i have one :)(
[11:18] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you please do "cat /etc/resolv.conf" ?
[11:18] <dezinezan> AHGHHww
[11:18] <dezinezan> they said it was better
[11:18] <dezinezan> i knew i wanted linkseys
[11:18] <AmaroqWolf> try ping 69.147.114.210
[11:19] <metamoss> lowfi: ah, thanks!
[11:19] <Rebecca> dezinezan: never listen to 'they' again...
[11:19] <CheshireViking> AmaroqWolf: this was a recently bought one - i'm just checking what the model number for that one was
[11:19] <dezinezan> i wont. thank you Rebecca
[11:19] <cypher1> Rebecca: ???
[11:19] <Rebecca> i only have d-link because when my last modem died, also a dlink, i was in a hurry to get it replaced and the stores only had... D-Link! argh
[11:20] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, I have a list of d-link routers on my browser now. What model is yours?
[11:20] <dezinezan> its..
[11:20] <AmaroqWolf> http://www.phenoelit.de/dpl/dpl.html
[11:20] <dezinezan> DIR-625
[11:20] <cypher1> dezinezan: AmaroqWolf i have a doubt on DNS server settings
[11:20] <Rebecca> d-link's firmware web config is also very fussy. often you can't admin it using firefox. requires IE for some stupid reason..
[11:20] <lowfi> phenoelit ,lol
[11:20] <cypher1> dezinezan: AmaroqWolf we cannot rely on ping of IP addresses since the router may be blocking it
[11:21] <AmaroqWolf> ah
[11:21] <dezinezan> what exactly does that mean..? cause im lost
[11:21] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: i meant the ping replies
[11:21] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you please do "cat /etc/resolv.conf" ?
[11:21] <dezinezan> routers blocking what now?
[11:21] <dezinezan> yea
[11:21] <dezinezan> i did
[11:21] <dezinezan> it says..
[11:21] <dezinezan> bash: cat/etc/reolv.conf: No such file or directory
[11:22] <dezinezan> im thinking they just wanted me to buy D-Link because it costed more..
[11:22] <cypher1> dezinezan: there is no space between cat and rest
[11:22] <dezinezan> res?
[11:22] <dezinezan> rest?
[11:22] <Rebecca> you about frogzoo ?
[11:22] <cypher1> its "cat /etc/resolv.conf"
[11:22] <caturOK> how to set eth0:0 at shorewall interfaces
[11:22] <dezinezan> oh i spelled it wrong back to you..
[11:23] <dezinezan> it says..
[11:23] <Enola_Gay> hi all
[11:23] <Enola_Gay> Is there a reason why laptop-mode has no entry under the rcS?
[11:23] <dezinezan> bash: cat/etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
[11:23] <AmaroqWolf> you gotta space between cat and /etc
[11:24] <cypher1> dezinezan: do you know the IP address of your DNS servers ?
[11:24] <AmaroqWolf> cat is a command
[11:24] <dezinezan> cypher1: i dont..
[11:24] <dezinezan> so how exactly i type it in?
[11:24] <cypher1> i gotta run out for 5-10 min.. sorry..
[11:24] <AmaroqWolf> cat /etc/resolve.conf
[11:24] <dezinezan> cat/ etc ... ?
[11:25] <AmaroqWolf> yes
[11:25] <dezinezan> ah ok
[11:25] <cypher1|away> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[11:25] <dezinezan> ok
[11:25] <dezinezan> it says..
[11:25] <dezinezan> search myhome.westell.com
[11:25] <AmaroqWolf> ah, I was wrong. no e in resolv
[11:25] <dezinezan> nameserver and my ip
[11:25] <dezinezan> and
[11:25] <dezinezan> i know its going thru
[11:26] <dezinezan> because i never put any westell on that computer
[11:26] <Rebecca> does anyone know how i can reconfig auto mount to NOT mount my usb mass storage device as a 'camera'?
[11:26] <AmaroqWolf> hmm, I have nameserver three times, and a different IP for each.
[11:26] <dezinezan> the reg. modem is westell
[11:26] <kurumin> teste
[11:26] <dezinezan> thats what it said
[11:27] <AmaroqWolf> what is the IP after nameserver?
[11:27] <dezinezan> ..
[11:27] <dezinezan> nameserver 192.168.0.1
[11:27] <AmaroqWolf> hmm...
[11:27] <AmaroqWolf> it's using your router as a nameserver. While mine is not. Is that right cypher1
[11:27] <dezinezan> im totally lost.. the only thing im doing or keeping up by is answering questions your asking
[11:28] <dezinezan> cypher had to run out for 5-10mins im not sure if hes there still.. he mite be afk
[11:28] <AmaroqWolf> oh, okay.
[11:28] <AmaroqWolf> We may have found the problem. Just gotta wait till he gets back.
[11:28] <dezinezan> ok
[11:28] <dezinezan> i really hope so
[11:29] <lowfi> Rebecca, disable hotplug for mass storage devices or usb, there must be an option somewhere in kcontrol
[11:29] <Rebecca> lowfi: ill look
[11:29] <lowfi> Rebecca, i don't use kde, but there is one in gnome
[11:29] <dezinezan> i really hope we go through all this and come out with SOMETHING new or working.. because im lost.. im putting full trust into you guys to help me through this
[11:30] <AmaroqWolf> cypher1|away, we may have found the problem. Just gotta wait till you get back since I don't know what to do now.
[11:30] <dezinezan> and i thank you for helping me, because i wouldnt have gotten this far without your help
[11:30] <AmaroqWolf> x3 we're glad to help.
[11:30] <Rebecca> lowfi: not sure how to do that :/
[11:30] <dezinezan> Wolf you have access to operserv?
[11:30] <AmaroqWolf> What is operserv?
[11:31] <dezinezan> everyone is blue im just trying to see who is oper
[11:31] <AmaroqWolf> nope, no access
[11:31] <dezinezan> operserv has commands like lock, kill, klone
[11:31] <dezinezan> you are just here to help?
[11:31] <AmaroqWolf> Everyone is basically.
[11:32] <dezinezan> cool
[11:32] <AmaroqWolf> We ask for help when we need it, and give help when we can.
[11:32] <dezinezan> aww i cant use /info
[11:32] <dezinezan> lol
[11:33] <dezinezan> OperServ	Access Denied - no O-line
[11:33] <dezinezan> oh well
[11:33] <dezinezan> dont want it anyway
[11:33] <dezinezan> just here for help
[11:33] <dezinezan> :)
[11:33] <dezinezan> its weird though, i havent seen this type of chat for long time
[11:33] <VoX> hey, how do i temporarily disable automount?
[11:34] <Amon-san> hi, is there a distcc howto available? i searched the wiki but did not find anything useful
[11:34] <Cryoniq> I been wondering about something in my system.. When I run an application in gnome etc. It feels like CPU load affect graphics.. like when I move windows etc they glitch a little. What could be the cause of that? CPU shouldnt affect GFX stuff like this.. hmm
[11:34] <dezinezan> ah wow
[11:34] <dezinezan> it still has ChanSev
[11:35] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, did you see what I just said? xD We just had someone tell a newbie to do that, and wiped his entire drive.
[11:35] <dezinezan> tod o what?
[11:35] <dezinezan> *to do
[11:36] <Bogaurd> hey, i'm trying to do apt-get install linux-k7-smp, which says it's been installed, but it shows as having installed a 25kb package... and def does not install the kernel
[11:36] <dezinezan> sorry, i didnt see the nickserv, and chanserv commands where scrolling past
[11:36] <Bogaurd> any ideas?
[11:36] <AmaroqWolf> An hour or two ago, someone told a newbie to sudo rm -rs. It deleted his entire hard drive.
[11:36] <Cryoniq> 0o
[11:36] <dezinezan> would that help>?
[11:36] <AmaroqWolf> nooo, that's very dangerous
[11:36] <dezinezan> probably be bad for computer
[11:36] <dezinezan> lol
[11:37] <AmaroqWolf> you lose everything
[11:37] <metamoss> dezinezan: the result of 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' for you was 'nameserver 192.168.0.1', yes?
[11:37] <dezinezan> right now it wouldnt lose nothing
[11:37] <dezinezan> i have nothing on that computer..
[11:37] <Chousuke> what does the -s switch do?
[11:37] <AmaroqWolf> no, you'd lose everything literally
[11:37] <yommb> amaroq : serious ?
[11:37] <AmaroqWolf> Ubuntu, everything
[11:37] <dezinezan> yes metamoss
[11:37] <yommb> omg
[11:37] <dezinezan> web cyper
[11:37] <AmaroqWolf> rm is remove
[11:37] <AmaroqWolf> the -r flag is recursive
[11:37] <Chousuke> rm is, yes.
[11:37] <Chousuke> but -s?
[11:37] <cypher1> i guess we can try putting a public DNS nameserver ip in /etc/resolv.conf and see whether it works
[11:37] <AmaroqWolf> I'm not sure about -s
[11:37] <ahave> anyone know of a ubuntu torrent that is active?
[11:37] <metamoss> it seems like dhcp isn't working
[11:37] <Cryoniq> aye.. that command removes ALL files on whole system from root and up
[11:37] <Chousuke> It's not in the manual page.
[11:38] <Haffy> How do I install freenx, I need Seveas.. How do I fix that?
[11:38] <metamoss> my /etc/resolv.conf has my ISP's DNS in it
[11:38] <metamoss> or are we way past that all?
[11:38] <cypher1> metamoss: yes most should have like that only
[11:38] <AmaroqWolf> cypher1, is there a way to make it auto-detect some nameservers?
[11:38] <Bogaurd> what's the correct way to install the right kernel for my machine? apt-get install linux-k7-smp isnt working.
[11:38] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: DHCP
[11:38] <AmaroqWolf> I know I didn't enter my three nameservers. lol
[11:38] <Cryoniq> rm and a few other commands should be handled with great care when one have root clearance
[11:38] <AmaroqWolf> ah
[11:39] <AmaroqWolf> Maybe his router doesn't have DHCP set up on it, cypher1
[11:39] <metamoss> ah
[11:39] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: does anyone know of a public DNS ip address ?
[11:39] <snail> Bogaurd: "apt-cache search k7-smp" will find the names of packages to install
[11:39] <Haffy> How do I install Seveas packages, so I can install FreeNX??
[11:39] <AmaroqWolf> cypher1, could I give him one of my current nameservers?
[11:40] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: yes we can try that
[11:40] <Cryoniq> he he I knew a guy who was administering a SQL Informix server handling tons of requests for 10's of thousands of users.. and he was tired that morning.. I heard a .. ooops.. then a.. shi.. and then an almost crying voice.. oh no!
[11:40] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: is he on a pm ?
[11:40] <Cryoniq> Backups ftw is all I can say :)
[11:40] <AmaroqWolf> I'll give all three. 24.196.64.53, 68.115.71.53, 24.159.193.40
[11:40] <AmaroqWolf> No, no pm
[11:41] <AzMoo> AmaroqWolf, it's not -rs it's -rf, recursive and force.
[11:41] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: ok
[11:41] <AmaroqWolf> AzMoo, okay.
[11:41] <AmaroqWolf> I forgot.
[11:42] <Barre> Hi. I'm trying to install 6.06 on a HP DL380 G5, but the installation doesn't find the NIC's. I've tried to modprobe the tg3 but no luck. Can anyone point me to a solution?
[11:42] <Haffy> Anyone?
[11:42] <dezinezan> Wolf..
[11:42] <dezinezan> im not sure what to do
[11:42] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you please do "sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf"
[11:42] <dezinezan> was those codes for me?
[11:42] <AmaroqWolf> cypher can help you with those
[11:42] <AmaroqWolf> I gave them so cypher can tell you what to put in.
[11:42] <cypher1> dezinezan: then add "nameserver 24.196.64.53"
[11:43] <cypher1> dezinezan: in the next line "nameserver 68.115.71.53"
[11:43] <dezinezan> is it ..
[11:43] <dezinezan> vi /
[11:43] <dezinezan> or ..
[11:43] <dezinezan> vi/
[11:43] <AmaroqWolf> yes, a space
[11:43] <dezinezan> its space
[11:43] <cypher1> dezinezan: in the next line "nameserver 24.159.193.40"
[11:43] <dezinezan> k
[11:43] <dezinezan> ty
[11:43] <blahish> just wondering if someone can help me. after 3 failed download attempts i finally got ubuntu to download properly. when i checked it with the winmd5sum thingo is says the check sums are different. what on earth does this mean
[11:43] <cypher1> dezinezan: OT.. btw where are you from ?
[11:43] <dezinezan> type the very first thing first, then type the add, then type that 3rd?
[11:43] <AmaroqWolf>  / is the root directory
[11:44] <dezinezan> from Alaska ^^
[11:44] <AmaroqWolf> so /etc is the etc folder in that.
[11:44] <Bogaurd> snail, it only lists 2.4 kernel packages
[11:44] <AmaroqWolf> no, just type nameserver 24.196.64.53
[11:44] <AmaroqWolf> then do the next ones he told you
[11:44] <Bogaurd> it says it's obsoleted by linux-generic
[11:44] <dezinezan> ahmm.. it asking for password
[11:44] <dezinezan> O_O
[11:45] <cypher1> dezinezan: pls type your password
[11:45] <dezinezan> ah
[11:45] <snail> Bogaurd: then there are no packages in the repositories you have in your sources.list for your architecture for anything else
[11:45] <dezinezan> wasnt sure what pass
[11:45] <AmaroqWolf> It just wants the password because you're editing a system file.
[11:45] <blahish> anyone?
[11:45] <dezinezan> now add..?
[11:45] <dezinezan> yea, i wasnt sure the pass
[11:46] <dezinezan> cause its new comp. its taped on front.. but wasnt sure
[11:46] <dezinezan> got it though
[11:46] <dezinezan> what now?
[11:46] <dezinezan> add?
[11:46] <cypher1> dezinezan: yes
[11:46] <dezinezan> its beeping
[11:47] <AmaroqWolf> cypher1, there's alot of tildes I see
[11:47] <dezinezan> and i cant go to a next line
[11:47] <dezinezan> it just beeps
[11:47] <AmaroqWolf> perhaps we should have had him use gedit
[11:47] <blahish> no one can help me?
[11:47] <dezinezan> and the 1 went away
[11:47] <lowfi> blahish, the file is (probably) corrupt.
[11:47] <AmaroqWolf> terminal editors = complexity
[11:48] <blahish> another one i downloaded had different checksums 2
[11:48] <blahish> why is everyone im downloading faulty?
[11:48] <dezinezan> cypher
[11:48] <cypher1> dezinezan: sorry disconnected
[11:48] <dezinezan> it just beeps, and the 1 in the IP thing got deleted
[11:48] <dezinezan> i cant go to the next line..
[11:48] <dezinezan> its ok
[11:48] <dezinezan> Wolf said..
[11:48] <blahish> ive wasted over 2 gig of my quota :(
[11:49] <cypher1> dezinezan: press i.. then type "nameserver 24.196.64.53"
[11:49] <dezinezan> AmaroqWolf	cypher1, there's alot of tildes I see
[11:49] <AmaroqWolf> cypher1, perhaps we should have him use gedit. terminal editors are complex.
[11:49] <cypher1> AmaroqWolf: yes :(
[11:49] <cypher1> dezinezan: can you press ":q!"
[11:49] <lowfi> blahish, just burn it and try - better than downloading it again
[11:49] <dezinezan> im not being able to type anything at the moment
[11:50] <dezinezan> its doing something weird..
[11:50] <blahish> so its not going to blow up my computer or put anything nasty on rofl!
[11:50] <dezinezan> it says..
[11:50] <Bogaurd> snail: should I need to add any repositories?
[11:50] <AmaroqWolf> what happens if you press q?
[11:50] <dezinezan> Nameserver 192.168.0iiiiiiiii
[11:50] <dezinezan> nothin..
[11:50] <Bogaurd> snail: it says i already have the latest version... first time i tried to install it installed something 25kb big
[11:51] <AmaroqWolf> hmm. I suppose you can just close your terminal and reopen it.
[11:51] <Bogaurd> not the actual kernel though.,
[11:51] <snail> Bogaurd: i have no idea, i know almost nothing about the kernel
[11:51] <dezinezan> ahm,.. with all the people typing, i lost on what to do if i where to "start over" closing the terminal and reopeing
[11:51] <aalhamad> how can i put a clock or a weather detector or Calender .. etc on my desktop?
[11:51] <AmaroqWolf> instead of vi, try  sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[11:52] <snail> Bogaurd: is there a specific reason for needing the custom kernerl for your architecture?
[11:52] <ahave> ahave
[11:52] <dezinezan> k
[11:52] <ahave> ahave ahave: hi
[11:52] <Bogaurd> snail: well my cpu has dual cores, i'd prefer to take advantage of that, rather than just running a 286 kernel..
[11:52] <Bogaurd> 286, rather**
[11:52] <Bogaurd> 386, damnit.
[11:52] <metamoss> aalhamad: if you right-click on the panel, and select "add to panel" from the menu that pops up, you can add all sorts of applets like that
[11:53] <snail> Bogaurd: have you checked that your current kernel isn't already taking advantage?
[11:53] <dezinezan> WHAT the
[11:53] <AmaroqWolf> It should open a new window
[11:53] <dezinezan> oh.. thats normal
[11:53] <dezinezan> lol
[11:53] <AmaroqWolf> lol
[11:53] <AmaroqWolf> gedit is a text editing program
[11:53] <dezinezan> ok it flooded the other termial screen
[11:53] <AmaroqWolf> well, vi is too. But gedit does it in a window
[11:54] <AmaroqWolf> well, my gedit didn't flood it. xD
[11:54] <Bogaurd> well it's just 2.6.17-10-386... so it's the 386 kernel, no?
[11:54] <dezinezan> it says..
[11:54] <aalhamad> metamoss, yes but i want it to be shown
[11:54] <dezinezan> Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: ..
[11:54] <dezinezan> an says that OVER and OVER
[11:54] <aalhamad> plz chech http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/shots.xml for seeing what i mean :)
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> oh. That sounds like a gedit problem.
[11:55] <aalhamad> metamoss,
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> well, there should be two lines in the window right?
[11:55] <dezinezan> im not sure what gedit program even is
[11:55] <dezinezan> yea
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> search and nameserver
[11:55] <dezinezan> yea
[11:55] <jengc0il> hello
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> add the following lines:
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> nameserver 24.196.64.53
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> nameserver 68.115.71.53
[11:55] <AmaroqWolf> nameserver 24.159.193.40
[11:56] <dezinezan> hi jenc0il
[11:56] <dezinezan> ok
[11:56] <AmaroqWolf> Then save the file
[11:57] <dezinezan> does Save or Save As make a difference?
[11:57] <AmaroqWolf> Save
[11:57] <dezinezan> ok
[11:57] <metamoss> aalhamad: ok, that's a KDE desktop. Are you using KDE or Gnome?
[11:57] <AmaroqWolf> you want to save the changes to the current file, not save a new one.
[11:57] <dezinezan> that way it saves over it.. right?
[11:57] <AmaroqWolf> yes
[11:58] <dezinezan> yea, i see what you mean, just not understanding at all
[11:58] <dezinezan> lol
[11:58] <AmaroqWolf> lol
[11:58] <dezinezan> saved..?
[11:58] <felixhummel> !mouse
[11:58] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[11:58] <aalhamad> metamoss, im using gnome
[11:58] <AmaroqWolf> Once you do that, close everything, log out of the computer, then log back in and try to use the internet.
[11:58] <felixhummel> how can I enable mouse support on the console?
[11:58] <dezinezan> ok..?
[11:58] <dezinezan> kk
[11:58] <dezinezan> everything?
[11:58] <Baoss> does Xfmedia program plays m2v format
[11:58] <dezinezan> go to login screen.. or shut it down?
[11:58] <AmaroqWolf> well, logging out would log outta everything anyway xD
[11:59] <AmaroqWolf> um, I think login screen should be good enough
[11:59] <AmaroqWolf> I'm not sure though.
[11:59] <dezinezan> lol
[11:59] <Baoss> does Xfmedia program plays m2v format?
[11:59] <dezinezan> so reboot?
[11:59] <AmaroqWolf> Your choice. Either log out and in, or reboot.
[11:59] <dezinezan> ok
[11:59] <dezinezan> stepdad gonna reboot
[12:00] <dezinezan> i would ask cypher and wolf ... "asl?" but i dont wanna get told this isnt a "chat channel, its a help channel" :(
[12:00] <lowfi> felixhummel, install gpm
[12:00] <dezinezan> computer rebooting
[12:00] <metamoss> aalhamad, alright, there's a program you can use called gkrellm
[12:00] <AmaroqWolf> I'm 20, male, Illinois, if you're curious.
[12:00] <AzMoo> You shouldn't need to reboot or logout for resolv.conf
[12:01] <aalhamad> ok thanks
[12:01] <AmaroqWolf> Oh, you shouldn't?
[12:01] <metamoss> search for it in synaptic, and you'll find plugins for it, like a weather monitor, etc.
[12:01] <AzMoo> nope.
[12:01] <dezinezan> O_O Illinous
[12:01] <dezinezan> Illinois*
[12:01] <dezinezan> awesome
[12:01] <AmaroqWolf> Illinois, indeed. :P
[12:01] <dezinezan> cool
[12:01] <dezinezan> ok
[12:01] <dezinezan> its up again
[12:01] <dezinezan> try internet?
[12:01] <AmaroqWolf> yup
[12:01] <AmaroqWolf> go to something like, www.yahoo.com
[12:02] <Baoss> IdleOne does Xfmedia program plays m2v format?
[12:02] <dezinezan> its doing the same thing :(
[12:02] <AmaroqWolf> aw
[12:02] <AmaroqWolf> hmm
[12:02] <dezinezan> from the info i gave you.. does that give any hint on if everything IS or ISNT connected 100% CORRECT?
[12:03] <Bogaurd> argh
[12:03] <Bogaurd> how can this be :S
[12:03] <AmaroqWolf> well, I have one idea. sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf again
[12:03] <Bogaurd> i'm using the sam repositories as always
[12:03] <Rebecca> how do i enable ssh.. it's installed and running but connections are refused
[12:03] <Bogaurd> but i can't install linux-k7-smp
[12:03] <dezinezan> ok
[12:03] <AmaroqWolf> this time, remove the nameserver that has your router's IP address.
[12:03] <Bogaurd> it says its the latest version already
[12:03] <Bogaurd> but it's not installed!
[12:03] <AmaroqWolf> and leave the other three there. Then try your internet again.
[12:04] <AzMoo> dezinezan, what's going on?
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> Unless... what does it say in that now? Does it have what you put in there before, or is it back to the way it was?
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> his nameserver is his router's IP address.
[12:04] <MarcoPau> a program installer asks for where the kernel headers are. I have both linux-headers-2.6.20-6/ and linux-headers-2.6.20-6-generic/. Which one am I supposed to pick?
[12:04] <AzMoo> That's not necessarily a problem.
[12:04] <Baoss> CAN ANYBODY TELL ME DOES XFMEDIA PROGRAM RUN m2v format?? please
[12:04] <AmaroqWolf> It isn't? I have three nameservers, and none of them are my router's IP.
[12:05] <felixhummel> !console
[12:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about console - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:05] <Bogaurd> !linux-k7
[12:05] <ubotu> linux-k7: Obsoleted by: linux-generic. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.17.10 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[12:05] <AzMoo> AmaroqWolf, It depends entirely on your network setup. Many routers will forward dns requests to the nameservers defined, or work as caching name servers.
[12:05] <Bogaurd> :(
[12:05] <Bogaurd> Obsoleted by linux-generic
[12:05] <AmaroqWolf> Ah
[12:05] <Bogaurd> what the hell does that mean?!
[12:06] <Bogaurd> !linux-k7-smp
[12:06] <ubotu> linux-k7-smp: Obsoleted by: linux-generic. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.17.10 (edgy), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[12:06] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, what do you see in the window?
[12:07] <lowfi> felixhummel, did you see my answer?
[12:07] <AzMoo> Bogaurd, it means that the package you're looking for (linux-k7) is obsolete and has been replaced with linux-generic
[12:07] <felixhummel> lowfi, yes. I just needed to enable universe ;)
[12:08] <felixhummel> lowfi, "gpm has no installation candidate" - universe and multiverse enabled
[12:11] <felixhummel> that's weird... gpm should be in universe (http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/misc/gpm), but i can't install it (enabled universe and multiverse, did sudo apt-get update). can someone test that please?
[12:11] <dezinezan> kk
[12:12] <livingdaylight> is #ubuntu back to normal?
[12:13] <lowfi> felixhummel, it's in universe here, but i'm on feisty.
[12:13] <metamoss> felixhummel: I'm showing gpm in universe as well (also on feisty)
[12:14] <dezinezan> okie
[12:14] <Wowbagger> Sound doesn't work after installing new updates. Please help.
[12:14] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, click the System menu, then go to administration, then go to networking
[12:14] <AmaroqWolf> if it asks you for password, enter it
[12:14] <dezinezan> done
[12:15] <mistform> I don't want to upgrade to edgy :(
[12:15] <AmaroqWolf> Is there a part that says Ethernet connection The interface eth0 is active?
[12:15] <livingdaylight> is #ubuntu safe now?
[12:15] <dezinezan> no..?
[12:15] <AzMoo> livingdaylight, safe from what?
[12:15] <KuHlii> hey, i seem to be having issues when  trying to instal ndiswrapper
[12:15] <AmaroqWolf> o.o
[12:15] <livingdaylight> i don't wanna be told i got to sign in again
[12:15] <AmaroqWolf> what is on it?
[12:15] <dezinezan> it says...
[12:15] <livingdaylight> AzMoo, don't it went crazy yesterday
[12:15] <felixhummel> lowfi, metamoss, thank you. I just downloaded the .deb, got unmet dependencies, did apt-get -f install, and it works like a charm :)
[12:15] <dezinezan> Wired Connected: Address: DHCP
[12:16] <dezinezan> Modem connection: This netword interface is not configured
[12:16] <dezinezan> thatsa ll
[12:16] <dezinezan> *thats all
[12:16] <AmaroqWolf> ah. Your wired is probably the same as eth0
[12:16] <dezinezan> under the  "Connections tab
[12:16] <mistform> KuHlii, why are using ndiswrapper?
[12:16] <Wowbagger> Sound stopped working after installing updates, please help
[12:17] <AmaroqWolf> click wired, then click properties
[12:17] <dezinezan> ok
[12:17] <MarcoPau> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[12:17] <MarcoPau> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]  /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-6-generic/include
[12:17] <MarcoPau> 
[12:17] <MarcoPau> The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match

[12:17] <dezinezan> it does say..

[12:18] <livingdaylight> ok, i gotz a question: I've installed two apps. Azureus and Nicotineplus from sourcforge. I.e download tarball, extract and execute as you all know. My problem is i want to create a launcher from Applications Menu and i don't want to have these folders in my home directory where i downloaded the tarballs. How can i move it to /usr/local or soemehwer appropriate? please?
[12:18] <AmaroqWolf> sounds about right.
[12:19] <felixhummel> how do I disable beeps on console (tty01, NOT xterm/gnome-terminal)?
[12:19] <KuHlii> mistform, because im trying to setup my wireless intel 3945abg, and i keep getting errors in system log saying ieee80211 saying unknown symbol... and i have asked in here and under #linux and no one seems to be able to help, and someone said install ndiswrapper.
[12:19] <MarcoPau> AzMoo: yessir
[12:19] <KuHlii> so i am?
[12:19] <AmaroqWolf> cancel out of that
[12:19] <KuHlii> is that not correct?
[12:19] <AzMoo> dezinezan, go to applications, accessories and terminal and type in "ifconfig". What does the inet addr say?
[12:19] <dezinezan> ok
[12:19] <AzMoo> MarcoPau, #ubuntu+1
[12:19] <KuHlii> i have install network manager and it detects my wireless network, however just does not connect
[12:20] <AmaroqWolf> go to the hosts tab
[12:20] <mistform> KuHlii, I have a bcm43xx chipset and I found another way to get it to work
[12:20] <felixhummel> livingdaylight, to move it, just type sudo mv yourfolder /usr/local
[12:20] <KuHlii> really?
[12:20] <KuHlii> how was that?
[12:20] <MarcoPau> AzMoo: ok
[12:20] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, ok, thanks
[12:20] <mistform> but right now, for some reason, my device disables itself every time I try to connect with wifi-radar
[12:20] <dezinezan> ifconfig..  im sure i already tryed that
[12:20] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, so to move the whole folder like that is correct?
[12:21] <dezinezan> where is hosts tab?
[12:21] <KuHlii> oh ok
[12:21] <felixhummel> livingdaylight, yep. I think so. ;)
[12:21] <aalhamad> gkrellm is great.. but is there a clock theme i can enable it on gnome...
[12:21] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, in the Network Settings window. If you closed that properties of eth0 one.
[12:21] <felixhummel> a man gotta eat.
[12:21] <VoX> how do i stop udev/hal from automounting a/any usb device?
[12:21] <dezinezan> oh
[12:21] <dezinezan> ok
[12:21] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, how do i then make laucnher from applications menu.? menu edit and browse and point path to usr/loca/folder/...?
[12:21] <dezinezan> ok host is up
[12:22] <blahish> ok folks, off to try the cd! [seemed to burn fine?] 
[12:22] <miles_> Hey guys, what should I do when thunderbird is frozen and I'd want to restore the mail I was typing?
[12:22] <AmaroqWolf> is there one that says 192.168.0.something
[12:22] <dezinezan> nope, not at all
[12:22] <dezinezan> add?
[12:22] <dezinezan> O_O
[12:22] <AmaroqWolf> any that start with 192 at all?
[12:23] <dezinezan> nope
[12:23] <KuHlii> mistform, so how did u get it to work?
[12:23] <dezinezan> 127..
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> what does the second line say?
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> it probably has a 127
[12:23] <dezinezan> 127.0.1.1
[12:23] <dezinezan> Kepnuk
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> actually you probably have two 127's
[12:23] <livingdaylight> felixhummel, and put sudo because /usr/local is not home directory and requres root priviledges, right?
[12:23] <AmaroqWolf> I had the same problem.
[12:23] <miles_> f*cking unreliable email client
[12:23] <dezinezan> that looks like something i have seen before, like using  whois programs, for a default ip or something
[12:24] <dezinezan> yewa
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> There should be two 127.0.0.1's, one with your computer name, and another with localhost and your computer name
[12:24] <dezinezan> it says 127 stuff
[12:24] <dezinezan> yea
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> click the one that says your computer name, without the localhost
[12:24] <dezinezan> thats there
[12:24] <AmaroqWolf> then click properties
[12:24] <dezinezan> ok clicked..?
[12:24] <dezinezan> kk
[12:25] <AmaroqWolf> in your terminal, do ifconfig again to see what your IP address is.
[12:25] <mistform> KuHlii, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[12:25] <dezinezan> thats already  up
[12:25] <dezinezan> it says..
[12:25] <AmaroqWolf> in inet addr
[12:25] <dezinezan> 192.168.0.134
[12:26] <dezinezan> put a diff name or anything?
[12:26] <dezinezan> or just change the ip
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> okay, you have that little window that says IP Address: 127.0.0.1, Alia your computer name?
[12:26] <dezinezan> change ip, and click ok?
[12:26] <dezinezan> Aliases: Kepnuk
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> yes, change IP to 192.168.0.134
[12:26] <dezinezan> yep, changed
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> the same as your IP
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> then click okay
[12:26] <dezinezan> dont touch the aliases?
[12:26] <dezinezan> right
[12:26] <AmaroqWolf> and then click okay again.

[12:38] <dezinezan> oh..
[12:38] <dezinezan> 192.168.0.0?
[12:38] <AmaroqWolf> okay
[12:38] <AmaroqWolf> that seems right too :P

[12:38] <livingdaylight> pbureau, i got a linsys router and i've added azureus
[12:38] <dezinezan> everything is right?... but im still having a problem.. mant his sucks
[12:39] <AzMoo> dezinezan, 192.168.0.1 responded and 66.102.7.147 didn't?
[12:39] <pbureau> livingdaylight, and did you tell your router that udpd port 45491 is permissible to be used ?
[12:39] <dezinezan> yea AzMoo
[12:39] <livingdaylight> pbureau, yes, and when i do the test i pass withe flying colors! :)
[12:39] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok, try: traceroute 66.102.7.147
[12:39] <livingdaylight> pbureau, you know the test whether the port is open
[12:40] <dezinezan> it says Command Not found..
[12:40] <AmaroqWolf> same for me
[12:40] <livingdaylight> pbureau, i put 45491 in the port column my internal ip tick enable and saved settings, and it told me it was fine, so i don't understand the error
[12:40] <AzMoo> Ah, you'll need to install it. sudo apt-get install traceroute
[12:41] <IdleOne> what is the command to install a .deb package I have downloaded to my desktop
[12:41] <IdleOne> ?
[12:41] <dezinezan> type that..?
[12:41] <AzMoo> dezinezan, yep.
[12:42] <KuHlii> On this page http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_PRO/Wireless_3945ABG_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter it says that this car works out of the box in edgy, anyone have nay ideas why mine doesnt annd i get errors in ieee80211 saying unknown symbol?
[12:42] <AzMoo> IdleOne, man dpkg
[12:42] <livingdaylight> lowfi, not sure what to do with the link you giave me? First of all i downloaded the tarball from srouceforge to my home directory and moved it to /usr/local Is that ok?
[12:42] <KuHlii> car = card
[12:42] <dezinezan> its unpacking something
[12:42] <pbureau> livingdaylight, linksys router ?
[12:42] <AmaroqWolf> it's installing traceroute
[12:42] <AzMoo> dezinezan, yeah, it's just installing the traceroute program. This will show us where the issue is.
[12:42] <dezinezan> damit
[12:43] <AmaroqWolf> wait...
[12:43] <dezinezan> it didnt work
[12:43] <dezinezan> it says..
[12:43] <AmaroqWolf> xD I was about to say, how can he install something when his net isn't working.
[12:43] <livingdaylight> pbureau, correct linksys WRT54GS
[12:43] <AzMoo> Off the CD?
[12:43] <AmaroqWolf> oh
[12:43] <pbureau> livingdaylight, let me check something
[12:43] <dezinezan> Temporary failure resolving 'us archive.ubuntu.com'
[12:43] <livingdaylight> lowfi, are you suggesting i need to change something in the script?
[12:43] <livingdaylight> pbureau, ok
[12:44] <dezinezan> brb
[12:44] <lowfi> livingdaylight, yes that's ok and the link is a desktop entry file to get azureus in the menu.
[12:44] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, I think you can put your ubuntu CD in the drive and try that command again.
[12:45] <lowfi> livingdaylight, put a file in called azureus.desktop in /usr/share/applications
[12:45] <livingdaylight> lowfi, i did it through Menu Editor. I added and browsed to /usr/local/azureus/launcher
[12:45] <zathras> can anyone help me with grub?
[12:45] <dezinezan> we never got that CD
[12:45] <lowfi> livingdaylight, ah ok.
[12:45] <viperxxl> !networking
[12:45] <dezinezan> we bought this computer and it came like this
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about networking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <dezinezan> with speakers and everything
[12:45] <AmaroqWolf> ouch
[12:45] <pbureau> livingdaylight, and trying to get Azureus to run right ?
[12:45] <livingdaylight> lowfi, what file? and what how will that resolve the error message i'm getting?
[12:46] <AzMoo> dezinezan, damn. Hrm.
[12:46] <dezinezan> i was under the impression it was windows type
[12:46] <dezinezan> turned it on and was diff
[12:46] <AmaroqWolf> Did you get it cheap? lol
[12:46] <livingdaylight> pbureau, indeed. I don't like to see an error message telling my about ports which i know have been correctly set up
[12:46] <dezinezan> $250
[12:46] <pbureau> livingdaylight,  check this out. _ linksys/azuerus setup: http://ryanslife.net/2006/07/24/bittorrent-port-forwarding-with-a-linksys-wrt54g-router-and-azureus/
[12:46] <AmaroqWolf> ah. I was gonna suggest maybe it's previous owner broke the net, and dumped it on you. xD
[12:47] <lowfi> livingdaylight, not at all, i was referin to "felixhummel, how do i then make laucnher from applications menu.? menu edit and browse and point path to usr/loca/folder/...?" :)
[12:47] <dezinezan> in July im picking up new computers, 2 computers and 1 laptop, the computers made and upgraded by him, and
[12:47] <dezinezan> the laptop just upgraded..
[12:47] <dezinezan> but thats long away
[12:47] <dezinezan> and we needed something that had net
[12:47] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok, might be able to get around it.
[12:47] <livingdaylight> lowfi, ok, thx. I've managed that part now :) Just trying to resolve the error message i get
[12:47] <dezinezan> but the guy was the type to come out and see whats wrong with the comp
[12:48] <AzMoo> dezinezan, click on your system menu>Administration>Network tools
[12:48] <dezinezan> if we called him, he probably come out and look at comp
[12:48] <dezinezan> ok
[12:48] <livingdaylight> lowfi, When i open Azureus i get an X Error: UpnP: Mapping 'Incoming Peer Data Port (UDP/45491)' faile
[12:49] <BalchD> Hi. Does an Ubuntu system have a list of currently installed packages that could be read when re-installing?
[12:49] <AzMoo> dezinezan, then click on the traceroute tab, put 66.102.7.147 into the text box, and hit the trace button.
[12:50] <dezinezan> ok
[12:50] <AzMoo> dezinezan, what do the first couple of rows say?
[12:50] <livingdaylight> pbureau, thx for digging that up. I've saved it and will go through it properly later, as i gotta go soon
[12:51] <livingdaylight> hopefully it'll fix it
[12:52] <dezinezan> one sec
[12:52] <DocTomoe> I have a problem with cryptsetup, which throws "Aufruf fehlgeschlagen: Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.07 (2006-05-11)(compat) and kernel driver" at me... Googleing resulted in the wisdom to sudo cryptsetup, what I did in the first place ... any ideas on this one? (this is an Edgy)
[12:52] <pbureau> livingdaylight, your welcome..
[12:52] <livingdaylight> just finally and quickly: how do i remove kde desktop? i run gnome in ubuntu and added apt-get install kde-desktop i think but don't seem to be able to remove it
[12:52] <dezinezan> kepnuk   192.168.0.134
[12:53] <dezinezan> 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1
[12:54] <AzMoo> dezinezan, any more?
[12:54] <dezinezan> there is also dslrouters too
[12:54] <pbureau> DocTomoe, the only thing that comes to mind is that it is looking for a version of libdevmapper, now you may want to check with the INSTALL/READ documents of your application to see what dependencies are needed and use apt-get install to download packages or if you prefer gui (gnome) system-admin-synaptic and try to update (with a search) your libdevmapper file to perhaps a more recent one available
[12:54] <AzMoo> dezinezan,  dslrouters 192.168.0.1 ?
[12:55] <dezinezan> 192.168.1.1
[12:55] <pbureau> !libdevmapper
[12:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libdevmapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:55] <localverb> Hi guy's ..... I extremely like ubuntu but there is one thing that makes me very unsure about its future....many of you claim that free and open source software are much better in quality than others....but this is not the case with games........why??? aren't they software ? why all GNU/Linux games so poor? Please answer my question
[12:55] <AzMoo> dezinezan, are you running internet connection sharing on your windows pc?
[12:56] <dezinezan> yes the first computer is running windows
[12:56] <AzMoo> dezinezan, is it running internet connection sharing?
[12:56] <livingdaylight> adding kde-desktop has messed up and cluttered my gnome desktop with a busy Applications menu. How do i remove it?
[12:56] <adam_> localverb, games take a long time to create and most of the game developers were rather get paid to make those games.. im guessing? not 100% sure
[12:56] <pbureau> localverb, its realy not the forum to debate open source software quality. this is a help channel run by volunteers trying to give back and help others with their problem.. look for a debate channel
[12:57] <Daverocks> localverb: games are different to other types of software in that you need to pay lots of people to design graphics models, maps, etc. the big game companies don't build their games to run on linux because it doesn't have much market share
[12:57] <dezinezan> what do mean
[12:58] <AzMoo> damn, I don't have a windows pc here.
[12:58] <dezinezan> THIS computer is running windows.. the other we thought was windows when we saw it for sale.. but it turned out to be Ubuntu, which i have never heard of because i dont usally use mac's
[12:58] <localverb> I see thanks for your clarifying this to me
[12:58] <AmaroqWolf> Has your windows computer been set up to share it's internet connection with other computers?
[12:58] <Toma-> actually, its not that hard to port games to linux
[12:58] <dezinezan> theres gotta be a way to "share" the internet connection through windows?
[12:58] <AzMoo> dezinezan, I think there may be a conflict between your windows computer and your router.
[12:59] <dezinezan> im not sure..
[12:59] <dezinezan> and im not sure
[12:59] <Toma-> i mean, look what icculus.org does
[12:59] <AzMoo> dezinezan, yeah, I'm just trying to remember exactly what you need to do to check. Give me a minute.
[12:59] <localverb> I think porting games will not solve the problem
[12:59] <Daverocks> i _love_ how i can play unreal tournament natively on linux... epic games people are awesome for doing that
[12:59] <AmaroqWolf> There's one way he could test that. Unplug the windows comp from the router. That would disconnect though.
[01:00] <dezinezan> ok
[01:00] <adam_> are there linux drivers or anything like ndswrapper for Linksys Wireless USB Network Adapter?
[01:00] <dezinezan> i went to this..
[01:00] <dezinezan> went to the connection i use to connect to the net.. on the windows computer..
[01:00] <dezinezan> went to propertys..
[01:00] <dezinezan> went to advanced..
[01:00] <AmaroqWolf> adam_, there's a room. #ndswrapper I believe.
[01:00] <Daverocks> localverb: if linux had a lot of market share, the "good games" problem would be solved pretty much instantly. i don't know how many good FOSS games we'd see though.
[01:01] <dezinezan> Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection (was unchecked)
[01:01] <dezinezan> is that important or what i needed?

[01:01] <Toma-> Daverocks: its more a point of lazy game develoment houses.
[01:01] <dezinezan> frogzoo i KNOW that
[01:01] <AzMoo> frogzoo, not windows support.
[01:02] <adam_> AmaroqWolf, I understand that - I'm trying to figure out if there are drivers for my USB Adapter
[01:02] <dezinezan> im only answering questions they asked
[01:02] <AmaroqWolf> We're trying to figure out if his windows computer is conflicting with his ubuntu one on the wired network
[01:02] <intelikey> what am i missing here ?
[01:02] <intelikey> (synaptic:5229): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[01:02] <AmaroqWolf> adam_, oh okay.
[01:02] <Daverocks> Toma-: hmm.
[01:02] <new> hey
[01:02] <AzMoo> dezinezan, that "Allow other network users ..." is unchecked ?
[01:02] <dezinezan> it WAS
[01:03] <dezinezan> i checked it now..
[01:03] <dezinezan> but
[01:03] <Toma-> Daverocks: i mean, it would only take 1 email to Icculus to get a port for whatever to linux :) check this out... http://icculus.org/~icculus/resume.txt
[01:03] <dezinezan> it says to select ..
[01:03] <AmaroqWolf> I think you want it to stay unchecked.
[01:03] <dezinezan> Local Area Connection
[01:03] <new> im new to linux, but i was wondering if i could have both ubuntu and windows xp on my computer at the same time?
[01:03] <dezinezan> Local Area Connection 2
[01:03] <intelikey> i'm running gksudo synaptic in a terminal and tetting that error message   "(synaptic:5229): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:"   ?
[01:03] <Kunalagon> does somebody maybe know why when I restart comp. volumes disapperad on my desktop and nautilus, but I have hald and dbus succesfuly started on boot, and I have mounted volumes in my mount point ?
[01:03] <dezinezan> stay unchecked..
[01:03] <pbureau> DocTomoe, dunno if you checked but in synaptic with repos all turned on I get aq libdevmapper-dev file 1.02 did you install that ?
[01:03] <dezinezan> okie, its unchecked again
[01:03] <AzMoo> dezinezan, don't check it.
[01:03] <AmaroqWolf> check all of the network connections
[01:03] <Daverocks> Toma-: wow, he did _everything_
[01:03] <AmaroqWolf> and make sure they're all unchecked.
[01:03] <Toma-> yeh :D
[01:03] <verb_> Thanks to all those responded to my question ......
[01:04] <Daverocks> somebody should give that guy a medal
[01:04] <new> im new to linux, but i was wondering if i could have both ubuntu and windows xp on my computer at the same time?
[01:04] <AmaroqWolf> new, yes you can

[01:10] <rpv> hi all
[01:10] <new> i just got my copy of ubuntu in the mail today, about to install it
[01:10] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok. Here's the problem. You've got two different networks at your house. One of them is 192.168.0.0 and the other is 192.168.1.0. How do you have your router set up?
[01:11] <dezinezan> im not sure
[01:11] <DexterF> hi
[01:11] <dezinezan> i just put the cords together how the guide said.. but when i tryed running the install router..
[01:11] <AzMoo> dezinezan, physically I mean. What plugs into it, what does it plug into?
[01:11] <DexterF> anyone here using midnight commander regularly with german i18n?
[01:11] <dezinezan> cords..?
[01:11] <AzMoo> dezinezan, also, what brand and model number is it?
[01:12] <AzMoo> dezinezan, no, what computers is it plugged into, and is it plugged into any other devices?
[01:12] <dezinezan> D-Link: Model: DIR-625
[01:12] <dezinezan> no.. a subwoofer..
[01:12] <dezinezan> speakers..
[01:12] <dezinezan> oh
[01:13] <dezinezan> INTO the router.?
[01:13] <dezinezan> JUST the 2 computers
[01:13] <nurdyx> it is possible to have vlc in destop
[01:13] <assasukasse> hi everyone, if i click on properties on a video file, open then choose which player it should be opened by default, i have two VLC voices there, how can i get rid of one?
[01:14] <AzMoo> dezinezan, and the router plugs directly into your phone line? Or are you using cable?
[01:14] <DYnamo_> Question: Anyone has any experience in dealign with or any links that deals with Global Load Balancing? We wanted to implemente it but it's hard to fine resources that deal with it. Any ideas?
[01:14] <MonkeyINAbaG> heyas... i just cloned an edgy box, and the clone gets past grub and perpetually reboots, and i cant figure out why....
[01:15] <dezinezan> phone
[01:15] <dezinezan> phone line
[01:15] <dondanielo> nurdyx : what do you mean by that?
[01:15] <dezinezan> which is plugged into the original modem still, it never told me to plug it in anywere else
[01:15] <new> is there any additional drivers/files i need to get before i install ubuntu?
[01:15] <AzMoo> dezinezan, what's the brand and model of the original?
[01:16] <dezinezan> ahm

[01:16] <DYnamo_> http://www.peer1.net/en/global.asp
[01:16] <dezinezan> LOL. as soon as i put them back on top of each other nice and neat i get asked to look at them again

[01:17] <kuma> *help
[01:17] <dezinezan> Westell  DSL2 + Router
[01:17] <MonkeyINAbaG> twisties) nope, but i have a beryl box here, want me to test it
[01:17] <dezinezan> oh model..
[01:17] <AzMoo> dezinezan, ok, there's the problem.
[01:17] <dezinezan> -_-
[01:17] <AzMoo> dezinezan, you've got 2 routers on the same network.
[01:17] <dezinezan> ok
[01:17] <twisties> MonkeyINAbaG: I've installed the dock and it seems to work fine except the only Icon that displays is DC++.
[01:17] <dezinezan> can i make it so its just the new one working so its 1 router?
[01:18] <kuma> how can i mount a device with all the permisions?
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> well, thats not fine :)
[01:18] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: does the same thing happen when you boot in recovery mode?
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray)
[01:18] <AzMoo> dezinezan, that's what you want to do.
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> yes
[01:18] <dezinezan> where did the other guy go?
[01:18] <twisties> rofl. no i guess its not "fine"
[01:18] <Jowi> twisties, if i remember correctly you set up the icon paths in the source code and recompile
[01:18] <dezinezan> oh ok
[01:18] <dezinezan> thats what i WANTED TO DO
[01:18] <dezinezan> but when i went through the guide it SAID to do it like THIS
[01:18] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) i changed the uuid stuff in fstab and menu.lst back to the good ol /dev nodes
[01:19] <AmaroqWolf> I'm gonna go to sleep. If you need him to modify router settings AzMoo, here's a list I found. http://www.phenoelit.de/dpl/dpl.html
[01:19] <AzMoo> dezinezan, whatever guide you're using is wrong.
[01:19] <dezinezan> WHAT THE FREAK
[01:19] <frogzoo> MonkeyINAbaG: sudo update-grub won't be happy
[01:19] <dezinezan> it came with the new router
[01:19] <dezinezan> !
[01:19] <dezinezan> -_
[01:19] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) i just see 'starting up' on the screen for a split second, then it reboots without warning
[01:20] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: oh, so it reboots quite early in the process
[01:20] <MonkeyINAbaG> yes
[01:20] <dezinezan> i know how these bots work, if i said any curse words, it would ban me, then wheres my help..?
[01:20] <dezinezan> ok 1 problem..
[01:20] <MonkeyINAbaG> doesnt even load the kernel i suspect
[01:20] <MonkeyINAbaG> no errors :)
[01:20] <DexterF> is midnight commander utf-8 capable?
[01:20] <lucio> I compiled a 2.6.20 kernel on a ubuntu dapper and I got this error at boot: udevplug make-queue unable to create /dev/.udev/queue :-(
[01:21] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: can you boot that machine from a CD?
[01:21] <dezinezan> the USB that is on the OLD dsl+router thing is got 1 end like a firewire, and the other USB, im not sure i could use that cord on the new router as it has NO firewire
[01:21] <MonkeyINAbaG> yes
[01:21] <IdleOne> dezinezan: the bot wouldnt ban you but chances are you would be warned about your language i.e !language or !ohmy and then if you did it again you would see !ops ( /msg ubotu ops ) then you would be banned :)
[01:21] <frogzoo> lucio: dunno if you'll get 2.6.20 to work with dapper
[01:21] <dezinezan> if you have msn or something.. i can take pics of what i DO have and how its up, and show you
[01:21] <AmaroqWolf> dezinezan, is your USB and your ethernet connected at the same time?
[01:21] <dezinezan> is it NOT supposed to be...? it never told me NOT to?
[01:22] <MonkeyINAbaG> wtf is a ?
[01:22] <AmaroqWolf> It's only supposed to be one. The ethernet is recommended.
[01:22] <dezinezan> i feel so stupid.. i was just following what it told me to do
[01:22] <frogzoo> MonkeyINAbaG: it's a battle squid
[01:22] <AmaroqWolf> The USB is only for computers that don't have ethernet.
[01:22] <dezinezan> *sigh
[01:22] <IdleOne> MonkeyINAbaG: looks like the Ebola Virus hehe
[01:22] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: perhaps you can chroot your root partition from the live CD and reinstall the kernel
[01:22] <dezinezan> let me see if i can hook it up
[01:22] <dezinezan> do you have msn?
[01:23] <AzMoo> dezinezan, wait. If you start playing with the modem now it'll disconnect you.
[01:23] <AmaroqWolf> I'm using a linux messenger
[01:23] <dezinezan> yea i know that
[01:23] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) i can def chroot from the boot or install cd, you think reinstalling the kernel will work?
[01:23] <dezinezan> i wasnt going to RIGHT NOW
[01:23] <dezinezan> i wanted to make a plan or something
[01:23] <AzMoo> ok, good :)
[01:23] <dezinezan> like if you have msn
[01:23] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) its something i havent tried
[01:23] <cbx33> hey guys
[01:23] <dezinezan> i can contact you back easyly without having to open browzer
[01:23] <MonkeyINAbaG> i will let you know if it works :)
[01:23] <AmaroqWolf> oh okay
[01:23] <AzMoo> dezinezan, I've pm'd you.
[01:23] <cbx33> I have an lvm partition that I'm trying to add the fstab
[01:23] <dezinezan> im not sure how to get to THIS with mIRC
[01:23] <cbx33> it works but it's only read only
[01:23] <soundray> MonkeyINAbaG: I'm not sure if it will, but I think it's worth a try
[01:23] <cbx33> how do i get it writeable?
[01:24] <cbx33> is the line i have
[01:24] <lucio> frogzoo: ... you mean that is a coimmon problem in ubuntu dapper?
[01:24] <cbx33>  /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 /old_drive               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[01:24] <cbx33> is the line i have
[01:25] <frogzoo> lucio: udev is going through major rework between versions atm, & tracks new kernels, so I'm not that surprised it hasn't worked
[01:25] <Heroin> how do i ban an IP from my server, like 100% so he cant even fucking attempt to login ;X
[01:25] <IdleOne> !ohmy
[01:25] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:25] <perplexity> use iptables and drop all traffic from that IP on the floor
[01:26] <Heroin> perplexity how do i do that?
[01:26] <MonkeyINAbaG> soundray) :) anything else you can think of doing before i reboot?
[01:26] <frogzoo> Heroin: you can install fscking xhosts
[01:26] <Heroin> freaking hack monkeys
[01:26] <user___> hey i tried rebooting my pc with the ubuntu cd in the drive, but it wont start ubuntu, instead windows loads?, how do i get ubuntu to run at reboot?
[01:26] <Heroin> frogzoo whats xhosts?
[01:26] <frogzoo> Heroin: best soln for you might be iptables
[01:26] <IdleOne> user___: set your bios to boot cdrom first
[01:26] <soundray> user___: you need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS setup
[01:27] <Heroin> frogzoo yah so how do i enter 218.189.179.83 and 18.216.0.101 as banned?
[01:27] <perplexity> Heroin: iptables -A INPUT -s (ip address here) -p tcp -j DROP
[01:27] <frogzoo> Heroin: sudo iptables -A INPUT  -s a.b.cd -j DROP
[01:27] <perplexity> oh yeah, forgot you can leave the proto out
[01:27] <user___> can i only change the bios setup when i reboot? or can i do it in windows?
[01:27] <Heroin> 2 difrent entries
[01:28] <Heroin> frogzoo is corret?
[01:28] <perplexity> yup, 2 different entries
[01:28] <IdleOne> user___: when rebooting it tells you to probably hit esc to enter setup
[01:28] <user___> okie, brb
[01:28] <perplexity> Heroin: frogzoo is correct.. better than mine
[01:28] <Heroin> perplexity which one would more effecient?
[01:28] <Heroin> perplexity thanks mate
[01:28] <Heroin> frogzoo thanks aswell
[01:28] <frogzoo> Heroin: both will work - but you need to tinker to make those rules start up after a reboot - best bet in 2nd thoughts might be install firestarter
[01:29] <nox-Hand_> Hey'
[01:29] <perplexity> Heroin: either or.. you won't notice a difference
[01:29] <nox-Hand_> Straight after installing Ubuntu on a Dell M65, my friends PC would not play no music/go on wireless internet in Windows XP. Is there an explaination? o_o

[01:30] <IdleOne> !sound | nox-Hand_
[01:30] <ubotu> nox-Hand_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:30] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: No, not in Ubuntu, in XP o_O
[01:30] <PhilippeDR> ok, i have a problem: had a breezy install, updated to dapper and then to edgy (2 days ago). The upgrade didn't install a new kernel, i did (from the repo), but now my xserver keeps on crashing
[01:30] <frogzoo> nox-Hand_: as linux doesn't touch anything in firmware, that's a pretty long stretch that linux broke anything - turn the power off at the wall for 30secs & see
[01:30] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: I am wondering whether Ubuntu install did it. After installing Ubuntu it died in XP
[01:30] <PhilippeDR> doesn't crash with the old kernel though
[01:30] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: try ##windows for help with XP sorry I dont use it
[01:31] <nox-Hand_> frogzoo: laptop though, but yeah
[01:31] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: I would be surprised if ubuntu had anything to do with it
[01:32] <DYnamo_> what if we do something like this: DNS with short TTLs, using status info for the servers to pick the IP to return to the dns query
[01:32] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: Same here. Also, I assured him it was safe :P This is his school PC, so he is in trouble now for not having it for school ^^
[01:32] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: he installed ubuntu on a pc that he doesnt own?
[01:33] <frogzoo> IdleOne: people will play...
[01:33] <CheshireViking> nox-Hand: was the installation on a pre-existing partition, or did the Ubuntu installer repartition the drive?
[01:33] <IdleOne> frogzoo: yeah ... but I dont play with other ppl's money :/
[01:33] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: He owns it, yeah. As such. He has bought it and will completely own it in two years. If he drops out of school, he must return it.
[01:34] <nox-Hand_> CheshireViking: We partitioned before. Layout has a FAT drive for DellUtilities, an NTFS for WIndows, 1gb swap and 7gb EXT3 for Ubuntu
[01:35] <IdleOne> nox-Hand_: well if the only problem is no sound it really isnt a big deal but again I seriously doubt ubuntu had anything to do with it and as for the wireless connection ubuntu probably didnt affect that either. unfortunate coincidence I would say. ##windows can probably help you
[01:36] <nox-Hand_> IdleOne: Right, I am sure Ubunt uis innocent. I believe in  Linux being God ;) Asking in ##windows :)
[01:36] <chplanet> hi
[01:36] <frogzoo> nox-Hand_: does this laptop use an external cd drive?
[01:36] <LifeguardBob> Hi fellows, completely new to ubuntu or linux for that matter, just finished installing the OS and was wondering if anyone knows of a good begginer's site
[01:37] <chplanet> I would like to know if automatix is safe?
[01:37] <IdleOne> LifeguardBob: wiki,ubuntu.com
[01:37] <frogzoo> chplanet: ask in #automatix...
[01:37] <IdleOne> chplanet: NO IT ISNT
[01:37] <CheshireViking> nox-Hand: when i repartitioned a drive similar to the allocation you've mentioned, windows worked ok, but one application had to be reinstalled because the partitioning broke something, maybe some of the drivers have gotten corrupted during the partitioning - I had a problem even though the drive had been fully defrag'd and free space consolidated
[01:37] <LifeguardBob> thanks IdleOne

[01:38] <frogzoo> IdleOne: I don't get the hostility to automatix hate, they're just another bunch of people doing foss, but let them support it if it breaks sure
[01:39] <Daverocks> hey, how do i get gdm to start when i connect to my ubuntu box via vnc?
[01:39] <Daverocks> at the moment i'm just getting an X root screen
[01:39] <chplanet> IdleOne: why is it not safe & how?
[01:40] <IdleOne> frogzoo: I have nothing against it . I have used it myself 1 time it worked fine and another time it broke my install and I had to do a full clean install. reason whyI say it isnt safe is because I would hate to see a newbie give up on Ubuntu just because some third party app broke theyre system
[01:40] <IdleOne> !automatix | chplanet
[01:40] <ubotu> chplanet: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[01:52] <Kirk_> hello!
[01:52] <hackjack82> hi, i'm tring to monitor a eth interface with bwm-ng
[01:52] <hackjack82> but even if I set the refresh interval to 10 msec
[01:52] <hackjack82> I get only one real result each second followed by many 0 kb/sec results!
[01:53] <hackjack82> why? it seems to monitor only once a second!
[01:56] <idefix> why is it that on some webpages you see a flash of a site and then you're relinked and you cannot see the old site? what is that for? Is it a bug?
[01:56] <rage_> IdleOne: Yes you can find lots of pam packages. pam_abl is not included.
[01:57] <frogzoo> hackjack82: you might be able to get a better res'n through /proc
[01:59] <hackjack82> frogzoo: also bwm-ng can use /proc, but I still have the same problem
[02:00] <new> hey there, just installed ubuntu
[02:01] <new> what option should i use to partition the drive, for full installation, i want to keep windows xp on my computer also though

[02:06] <hackjack82> no help?
[02:06] <bauer77> So I have been told
[02:06] <johan_> hi
[02:07] <RonnieUK> I jst installed ubuntu and it wont accept my username and password, any ideas what I can do?
[02:07] <johan_> try booting in recovery mode
[02:07] <johan_> and then change password or add users
[02:07] <RonnieUK> how do I do that?
[02:08] <yommb> in what config file do I set my display manager ?  ( xdm , kdm ,gdm...)
[02:09] <johan_> RonnieUK, right before ubuntu starts to boot, you can hit ESC to bring up a boot menu
[02:10] <RonnieUK> ah ok, Ill try that thanks
[02:11] <bauer77> hey when I just booted Ubuntu it says it hasnt checked hda2 to for  a certain amount of days (I am assuming it was checking the file system). Any ideas what would bring that on? maybe if I shut down wrong?
[02:12] <DYnamo_> redirection with load balancing is the issue, how can we redirect traffic using weights or something
[02:12] <jussi01> hei all, Im trying to install a nokia c-111 wireless card on an old machine... its supposed to be supported by linux-wlan-ng which I installed... what do i do now?
[02:12] <rage_> bauer77: It is an option
[02:12] <rage_> bauer77: default is check after 30 days.
[02:12] <bauer77> thanks rage
[02:12] <mcphail> bauer77: switch it off. it isn't needed
[02:12] <rage_> bauer77: nothing is wrong, just leave it to it.
[02:13] <bauer77> I thought so just wanted to make sure
[02:13] <jussi01> is there a command i have to run?
[02:13] <rage_> Better that windows that doesn't check untill something goes wrong and then finds that it has been messing up for years. :)
[02:13] <bauer77> I hear you there
[02:14] <meteor> ubuntu
[02:14] <jussi01> iwconfig only gives me lo, irda0 and sit0
[02:14] <mcphail> the check is a hangover from ext2. it isn't needed
[02:14] <bauer77> I was running a vista cd right before i happened on another another boot on this computer so I was curious if had done something since I hadnt seen it before
[02:14] <meteor> 
[02:15] <jussi01> anyone?
[02:15] <bauer77> man someone told me there is an asterisk room in here but it wont let me go there
[02:15] <bronze> RonnieUK: did u add your username when you installed ?
[02:15] <bauer77> jussi what are you trying to do?

[02:16] <seravitae> hey guys, i can irc and use torrents fine
[02:16] <seravitae> but http i get "The connection was reset" constantly
[02:16] <seravitae> like i have to visit a page 10 times to actually get one that works. any ideas wtf is going on
[02:17] <bauer77> did you go into your wireless connection and see if its listed there?
[02:17] <jussi01> yeah...
[02:17] <frogzoo> hackjack82: what are you like with kernel internals? you help to enable CONFIG_FAST_TIMER - dunno
[02:17] <felixhummel_> is there an enhanced version of mc (midnight commander) or do I have to hack the source if I want some shortcuts?
[02:17] <frogzoo> !ipv6 | seravitae
[02:17] <ubotu> seravitae: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[02:18] <jussi01> It doesnt seem to show up anywhere
[02:20] <jussi01> I thought about trying it with ndiswrapper, but the windows driver i found is a installing exe... with a whole program etc
[02:22] <seravitae> frogzoo: my net isn't slow
[02:22] <seravitae> i get 'connection was reset' instantly
[02:22] <seravitae> i just checked and restarted local dns caching, it's still doing it.
[02:23] <seravitae> pings are fine
[02:23] <frogzoo> seravitae: wireshark
[02:23] <seravitae> installing
[02:26] <infornography> I have an intel centrino dual core processor. Will ubuntu detect and use both cores out of the box?
[02:26] <seravitae> infornography: yes but you must force the -generic kernel
[02:26] <seravitae> the -386 standard kernel will not
[02:26] <infornography> oh ok
[02:27] <seravitae> frogzoo: wireshark installed
[02:27] <infornography> Do I need the alternate install CD to do that?
[02:27] <seravitae> wireshark doesnt see any of my interfaces
[02:27] <seravitae> ahh, had to be in root.
[02:27] <frogzoo> seravitae: yep
[02:28] <seravitae> okay so what should i do
[02:28] <seravitae> capture eth0
[02:29] <DYnamo_> Here is what we are thinking of, We haev a DNS Server, in New York Location. We have 2 content servers, one in California and one in Germany. When a request comes in to NewYork, the DNS server looks at it (I guess using goip), is the requester closer to Cali or Germany? Ok he is in Japan, ok send him to Germany server. We need something like that.

[02:31] <seravitae> frogzoo: i get some wierd things
[02:31] <seravitae> 'unreassembled packet [incorrect TCP checksum] '
[02:32] <seravitae> also my modem is not doing anything at all, no downloads, yet i'm seeing like 100 packets a second thru eth0..
[02:33] <oxygen> hello
[02:34] <oxygen> help me pls
[02:34] <frogzoo> seravitae: but ftp etc are full speed?
[02:34] <IdleOne> oxygen: with?
[02:34] <oxygen> how can I make it show how much time is left when doing a cp
[02:35] <frogzoo> seravitae: incorrect checksums are usually because you have got your ethernet duplex setting wrong
[02:35] <kristofer> I found this howto.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto, but it's not complete. any ideas where I could find something similar, but finished?
[02:35] <seravitae> frogzoo: okay, i think mines on auto detect
[02:35] <IdleOne> oxygen: try cp -v ( verbose )
[02:35] <seravitae> i have a 100mbps switch
[02:36] <seravitae> everything's autosensing.
[02:36] <IdleOne> not sure if that will give you time remaining though
[02:36] <oxygen> IdleOne: i try it ..
[02:36] <seravitae> frogzoo: today i was getting max speed off torrents, browsing the net fine
[02:36] <seravitae> later today, a simply http request errors immediately
[02:36] <seravitae> and if i hit refresh about 50 times, eventually one gets thru, the rest just die straigth away
[02:37] <seravitae> Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.au.
[02:37] <seravitae> ^^ it's that bad.
[02:37] <frogzoo> seravitae: install net-tools & use mii-tool to force 100baseTx-FD, reset the modem & see how you go
[02:37] <ctkroeker> seravitae: works fine here
[02:37] <seravitae> ctkroeker: if google is down, it means that i am down, not google heh

[02:38] <seravitae> eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

[02:38] <ctkroeker> frogzoo: me not either
[02:39] <Tomib> hello
[02:39] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> my questions is... it is working only one cpu? if not... what can i do to shows me the twos cpus?
[02:39] <frogzoo> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: you running dapper?
[02:40] <ctkroeker> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: a dual core is actually 1 cpu, as I understand it, it won't show up as 2. I thinkl
[02:40] <sjoerd> ctkroeker: it's 2 cpu's on one chip
[02:40] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> but in the past i have ubuntu dapper 64 bits and it shows me the monitor of two cpus
[02:41] <ctkroeker> Rafa_Viva_Rev_:  especially since your running 32-bit, you probably won't be able too utilize all that power and features
[02:41] <frogzoo> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: if you're running dapper, install the 686 kernel image
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> but exist a kernel k7 with smp
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> edgy
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> 686?
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> thanks.. i will try
[02:41] <frogzoo> Rafa_Viva_Rev_: if you're running edgy, both cores are running
[02:41] <oxygen> it s not work
[02:41] <Tomib> is it possible to play bf 2142 with linux??
[02:41] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> and k7 with smp dont?
[02:42] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> oks.. thanx
[02:42] <oxygen> IdleOne: cp -v does not show time
[02:43] <IdleOne> oxygen: sorry I dont know how to show the time remaining
[02:43] <oxygen> ok
[02:43] <seravitae> hm
[02:44] <seravitae> is 64 bit worth it
[02:44] <Rafa_Viva_Rev_> another question... i installed beryl and xgl.. but beryl only runs with Gnome Session.. some tip?
[02:45] <frogzoo> seravitae: on desktop, no - for servers, sure
[02:47] <seravitae> mm
[02:47] <seravitae> i run a pretty beasty desktop though
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> seravitae, I installed 64 desktop about 9months ago (so development will have happened), and it was frustrating the number of things I had to chroot into a 32bit environment.
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> The hassle wasn't worth it in the end.
[02:48] <seravitae> cool, i wont touch it then
[02:48] <frogzoo> seravitae: beasty desktops probly want/need flash & vmware, so no dice
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> Ofc, there may well be more 64-bit packages around now.
[02:48] <ctkroeker> seravitae: I had the 64-bit version for a while and it's a pain to setup codecs, flash, dvd viewing, skype, etc.
[02:48] <seravitae> ah yeah.
[02:48] <seravitae> im happy with my setup right now.
[02:48] <seravitae> dont really feel like messing with it unless the gain is huge.
[02:49] <yommb> ctkroeker : agreed : everything ( well , a lot .. ) is a pain to install on 64bit

[02:51] <Lunar_Lamp> (sound decoders would be the aural circuitry in your brain ;-) )
[02:51] <donovan-> sound codecs like are used by a media player

[02:56] <dm> soundray i cant get it to work through add printer.
[02:56] <hitammanis> Good morning
[02:56] <soundray> dm: well, you definitely won't get it to work through Network Servers
[02:57] <dm> soundray any suggestions?
[02:57] <soundray> dm: be a bit more precise about the Add Printer failure
[02:57] <hitammanis> Do anyone uses qemu in windows to boot ubuntu?
[02:57] <JaZyOSX> i'm having a bit of a problem i was messing with installing ldap, cuz i wanted to use NIS, but now when ever i goto a terminal i get I HAVE NO NAME @myhost :
[02:57] <JaZyOSX> and i can't boot into ubuntu i get an error about LDAP server not ready
[02:58] <dm> soundray i have a laserjet4000 on the network with a printbox, i have added the printer and it says ready, when i print a test page nothing happens and it stays status: printing.
[02:58] <soundray> dm: does the printbox have an IP?
[02:58] <dm> good question i cant find one
[02:59] <soundray> dm: does your network have a DHCP server?
[02:59] <dm> aye
[02:59] <dm> anyway to find it via terminal?
[02:59] <dajoru> dm: what the printer configuration page say?
[02:59] <soundray> dm: go to your DHCP server and check its status pages to see whether it has assigned an IP to your printbox
[03:00] <hitammanis> guess not, thnaks
[03:00] <dm> soundray ok maybe i was mistaken , no DHCP server, just a router and automatic DHCP
[03:00] <soundray> hitammanis: this is a support channel. If you have a support question, ask.
[03:01] <soundray> dm: the router probably runs the DHCP server. Check its status pages
[03:01] <pisi> Hi. If running 6.10 is there an easy way to get a newer kernel than 2.6.17 ?
[03:01] <soundray> pisi: yes, you can compile one, but it's not recommended. Why do you want a newer kernel?
[03:01] <HymnToLife> pisi, compile it yourself, it's the only way
[03:02] <dm> soundray aye im at the status page.
[03:02] <pisi> so no aptgettable kernel ?
[03:02] <HymnToLife> no
[03:02] <HymnToLife> unless you upgrade to feisty, which is not stable yet
[03:02] <soundray> dm: can you tell whether it has assigned an IP to your printbox?
[03:02] <Pici> pisi: not unless you want to upgrade to unstable feisty
[03:02] <medfly> i need to have glib to compile something, what do i need to install from the package system?
[03:02] <pisi> I'm debugging a strange problem that might come from the kernel and i hoped there is a lazy way.
[03:02] <HymnToLife> !find glib
[03:02] <ubotu> Found: glibc-doc-reference, libarts1-mpeglib, libdbus-glib-1-2, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libglib-perl (and 35 others)
[03:03] <dm> soundray there are no labels, i have 6 diff IPs, ( 5 computers )
[03:03] <HymnToLife> medfly, install libglib-dev, or something like that
[03:03] <medfly> ok, thanks
[03:04] <donovan-> quick question ya'll, can anyone think of any reason why using a router to connect to a cable modem and then connecting the comp to the router would make the comp's connection uber-slow?
[03:04] <donovan-> it's a wireless router
[03:04] <soundray> dm: you could load all the IPs in firefox in turn. Maybe the printbox will tell you that it is the printbox that way.
[03:04] <Pici> medfly: its libglib1.2-dev or libglib2.0-dev depending on what version you need
[03:04] <hitammanis> soundary: I'm using windows and qemu to boot ubuntu from a usb pen drive, but during the boot up process (Mounting root file system) it stop and give an error message something like "/bin/sh: could not load tty". What am I doing wrong?
[03:05] <dajoru> dm: I you see nothing on the config page you better read the manual of your printer
[03:05] <dajoru> dm: and activate the god interface
[03:05] <medfly> thanks! :-) yeah, i think i needed 2.0
[03:05] <dajoru> *good
[03:05] <dm> dajoru god interface?
[03:06] <catalina> hola todos
[03:06] <dm> dajoru good interface ? lol
[03:07] <dajoru> dm: what about your printer?
[03:07] <dm> what do you mean
[03:07] <soundray> hitammanis: does ubuntu load via grub within your virtual machine?
[03:08] <hitammanis> soundray: yes
[03:09] <hitammanis> soundray: here is my syntax  for qemu: qemu -L . -hda //./PhysicalDrive1
[03:10] <soundray> hitammanis: you could edit the grub kernel line (hit 'e' when you get to the boot menu) and remove 'quiet splash'. This should tell you more about what's going on. Also, make sure there is a 'root=' kernel option that points to whatever your vm provides as the root partition.
[03:11] <hitammanis> soundray: here is my errr msg: /bin/sh: can't access tty : job control off
[03:12] <hitammanis> soundray: here is my grub command:  /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper persistent ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw splash--
[03:12] <soundray> hitammanis: I'm not sure that root=/dev/ram is right. -- Have you seen this page: http://homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/ekeller00/EricKellerUbuntuPage.html
[03:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Aren't you missing the kernel option?
[03:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Shouldn't it be "kernel=/casper/vmlinuz"?
[03:14] <Lunar_Lamp> (I don't know much about grub and this is just from memory - so feel free to ignore me)
[03:14] <swiitch> guys ive been using cat to append/copy mulitiple files i was wondering what the sytax is for cp. like in xp copy file+file newfile
[03:15] <hitammanis> this is how is looks:  kernel		/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper persistent ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw splash--
[03:15] <Lunar_Lamp> swiitch, cp /File/i/want/to/copy /place/i/want/to/copy/it/to
[03:15] <LjL> swiitch: uhm, i'm not sure there *is* such syntax... that's why we have cat in the first place
[03:15] <soundray> swiitch: stick with cat for concatenating multiple files
[03:15] <quaal> how do i make a shortcut to a program, like azureus for example is in /home/username/.azureus and i have to run ./azureus from terminal to open it
[03:15] <quaal> is it just like ./home/username/.azureus/azureus ?
[03:15] <swiitch> ok somone asked me why i just didnt use cp. i thought i was missing something
[03:15] <hitammanis> is that line in my menu.lst wrong?
[03:15] <swiitch> thx
[03:16] <Kian> k
[03:16] <Jowi> swiitch, cp does not have a function like that
[03:17] <Lunar_Lamp> hitammanis, you might be better asking in #qemu
[03:17] <hitammanis> Lunar_Lamp: Tried yesterday, try told me to come here.
[03:17] <Lunar_Lamp> Lol, ok.
[03:19] <Lunar_Lamp> http://kidsquid.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
[03:19] <Lunar_Lamp> That's all I can think of to help :-/
[03:19] <Lunar_Lamp> Sorry.
[03:19] <soundray> hitammanis: did you get my link?
[03:19] <bulmer> quaal: append the current dir "." on the environment variable PATH
[03:20] <soundray> dm: how are you getting on?
[03:20] <hitammanis> soundray:Yes,  See problems is that I'm strap for space so I can't create an image or iso file
[03:20] <soundray> bulmer: that's a security risk
[03:20] <Spaghetti_Knife> Hi, I have a question. I xkilled my firefox, and now it won't open. A window opens that says that it's already running but not responding. How do I kill the firefox job for real?
[03:20] <bulmer> soundray: what are you talking about? if you are not root..you follow?
[03:21] <Pici> Spaghetti_Knife: try killall firefox in the terminal
[03:21] <bulmer> soundray: can you elaborate on this risk you speak of? we'd like to learn
[03:21] <Spaghetti_Knife> Pici: "firefox: no process killed"
[03:21] <Jowi> swiitch, you can use "cat file1 file2 > newfile"
[03:22] <soundray> bulmer: is this really necessary? This risk is extremely well known.
[03:22] <hitammanis> soundray:That why I'm trying to boot from my usb pen drive that already has ubuntu install on it inside of windows
[03:22] <Pici> Spaghetti_Knife: try ps aux | grep firefox and see if its known by another name, like mozilla-firefox or similar
[03:22] <bulmer> soundray: yes it is necessary, elaborate on your understanding of the so called risk please
[03:22] <soundray> bulmer: I don't like your tone. If you want something from me, you will have to ask nicely.
[03:23] <Lunar_Lamp> soundray, could you tell me please then? I don't know of the security implications.
[03:23] <bulmer> soundray  im merely disputing your so-called risk..you are not telling the whole story
[03:24] <esaym> where do I go for info on how to make ubuntu packages
[03:24] <Spaghetti_Knife> Pici: Thank you very much. It was called "firefox-bin."
[03:24] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: $PWD in the path can be used by an attacker to trick you into running an executable you didn't intend to run.
[03:24] <Gurpartap> is the an application to manage to-do/tasks, etc? :)

[03:24] <Gurpartap> free one generally :)
[03:24] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: they could plant a malicious program by the name of 'ls' in /tmp for example.
[03:25] <Lunar_Lamp> SoundGuy, that makes obvious sense.
[03:25] <esaym> well I was looking for a how to but I will ask there
[03:25] <Lunar_Lamp> er, soundray even.
[03:25] <esaym> thanks
[03:25] <Gurpartap> devilsadvocate: hey, what's going on?
[03:25] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: if you happen to do a 'cd /tmp ; ls' you will run a program that you didn't intend to.
[03:25] <bulmer> soundtay: so what..if you are not root, you expect the program to execute with higher privilege?
[03:25] <Lunar_Lamp> SoundGuy, I mis-interpreted where they said to put "." in $PATH
[03:26] <Lunar_Lamp> bulmer, no, but what if the program was "rm -rf ~"
[03:26] <devilsadvocate> hello Gurpartap . midsems just got over :D
[03:26] <Lunar_Lamp> It would be very frustrating
[03:26] <krampo> Hello, does anyone knows where to get planet.ubuntu.com template ?
[03:26] <soundray> bulmer: doing damage to a system doesn't always require root rights.

[03:27] <saispo> anyone have a good docs about metapackage with dh_make ?
[03:27] <soundray> bulmer: test this: 'echo 'rm -rf $HOME' >/tmp/ls ; cd /tmp ; ls' (I mean, don't)
[03:27] <Gurpartap> devilsadvocate: aha, great ;-)

[04:03] <scratchme> What's the desired method of resetting the ./debian/control file when trying to reset the compile conditions for compiling a kernel?  I'm googling but apparently not doing it right for this subject.

[04:04] <core123> ah ok thx
[04:04] <freezey> i started my vsftp service... and played with the .conf file... now how do i access the dam thing haha...
[04:04] <scratchme> Or also workable, how do you reset the kernel compile back to freshly downloaded source?
[04:05] <cappiz> mount -t ntfs -o uid=1000,gid=1000
[04:05] <m4ytt> do i jus type that name into the box on the disk screen
[04:05] <cappiz> freezey. access the ftp?
[04:05] <cappiz> m4ytt, ah, i use commands to mount disk/partitions
[04:05] <m4ytt> cappiz do i type that in the terminal box
[04:05] <cappiz> from the terminal.
[04:06] <bluefox83> i'm having issues downloading security updates in edgy O.o
[04:06] <cappiz> m4ytt, yeah. Do you have ntfs write support installed?
[04:06] <hitammanis> If my machine can't boot from a usb drive is there a way to boot from a cd and then continue to boot from the usb drive?
[04:06] <m4ytt> dont know what that is cappiz
[04:06] <bluefox83> hitammanis, probably, but it's probably rather complicated...
[04:07] <cappiz> m4ytt, usualy you can only read from the ntfs disk. not write to it. Like creating new files/folders.
[04:07] <Slart> bluefox83, hitammanis: that answer works for many thing where linux is involved ;)
[04:07] <hitammanis> :)
[04:07] <Spaghetti_Knife> Hi. Where is the wifi-radar help channel? I checked #wifi-radar and #wifiradar, and they're both empty.
[04:08] <bluefox83> Slart, yes, but some things are more complicated than others
[04:08] <knoppix> I am having trouble booting ubuntu from a live cd.  It hangs up at the part I would think it is detecting my display
[04:08] <Spaghetti_Knife> Is it on some other server or something?
[04:08] <cappiz> hitammanis, did you try to install ubuntu on a usb-drive?
[04:08] <m4ytt> cappiz do i need to do that on my ubuntu hard disk or on the xp os
[04:08] <cappiz> in you ubuntu system

[04:09] <bluefox83> knoppix, make sure your bios has the right video card selected...and be sure that it's got the right amount of ram on it in the bios
[04:09] <farski> how do I know if something (like dhcp3-sever) will run on startup?
[04:09] <syzygyBSD> are there any hints for debugging the ubuntu disk during bootup
[04:09] <syzygyBSD> bluefox83: thanks, I will double check those
[04:09] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay. My problem is that when I use wifi-radar, it takes, like, 5 tries to find the IP address. When I'm using Windows and the company-distributed driver, it doesn't have this problem.
[04:09] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: How do I fix this problem?
[04:09] <cappiz> farski, see if its in the /etc/init.d/ dir and look for a file in /etc/defaults/
[04:09] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, I personally don't know much about it... I've always found gnome-network-manager to work brilliantly
[04:10] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Hmmm.... i'll try that.
[04:10] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, during bootup it has an option to check the disk for damage, select that
[04:10] <cappiz> hitammanis, did you work it out?

[04:13] <zoli2k> Hi! I have installed Ubuntu since Hoary. Now, I run on Feisty. My problem is that distribution upgrades does not cover some features, which are set as default in newer versions. For example: after edgy sysvinit is replaced by upstart,

[04:13] <lawli56> hi, i'm considering putting ubuntu 6.06 on my acer laptop. How will i control power management? Is it built into the OS or will I need some other software?
[04:13] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, then i'd say it's the bios
[04:13] <syzygyBSD> k, I am getting on on my laptop and rebooting this machine
[04:14] <zoli2k> but dist-upgrade does not suggest the replacement of sysvinit
[04:14] <frogzoo> lawli56: you'd do better with 6.10 I'd suggest
[04:14] <unop> zoli2k,  upstart is standard on feisty
[04:14] <syzygyBSD> is there anyway to put ubuntu into text mode for bootup, so I see more than just the loading screen?
[04:14] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: How do I open network-manager-gnome now?
[04:14] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, my girlfriend's crappy computer was not letting her use her nvidia card because the bios was not giving an option to ignore the onboard video card

[04:14] <hitammanis> cappiz: have you tried that before?
[04:14] <zoli2k> unop, I upgraded to feisty, but upstart was not default.
[04:14] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, either run nm-applet in a terminal or log out and in
[04:14] <cappiz> ok hitammanis
[04:14] <farski> cappiz: k thanks, looks like it's all set
[04:14] <unop> syzygyBSD,  edit grub's menu.lst and remove the splash keyword from the kernel entry you boot into
[04:15] <cappiz> farski, good :)
[04:15] <bluefox83> syzygyBSD, and as a result it kept stalling where it was detecting devices on the installer
[04:15] <lawli56> frogzoo: i thought 6.06 was the supported distro?
[04:15] <frogzoo> syzygyBSD: remove the "quiet" flag from kopt in /boot/grub/menu.lst & then 'sudo update-grub'
[04:15] <hitammanis> cappiz: huh, I don't get your answer
[04:15] <frogzoo> lawli56: 6.10 is latest supported - edgy
[04:15] <syzygyBSD> sorry all, I meant when booting from the live cd
[04:15] <unop> zoli2k,  ahh if you upgrade then the upgrade tries to keep what you already had -- so yes, it'll continue using sysvinit instead

[04:18] <GoopyMonkey> hold on, I'll check my partition type
[04:18] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: can you try launching it from a console..you know ctrl-alt+f1 and see if it you can launch it from there?
[04:18] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, I am ssh-ed into it now...no physical access at this time
[04:19] <unop> zoli2k,  errm, afaik there are no recommended defaults -- and the only major change from dapper upwards has been upstart, which you can manually install yourself
[04:19] <Pres-Gas> I am using screen as well from the ssh session.
[04:19] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: uh-oh, I have an NTFS drive
[04:19] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: how did you ssh in?  which option you have used?
[04:19] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay, I logged out and logged back in. Where do I find network-manager-gnome in the GUI?
[04:19] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: then it's imperative you backup before proceeding
[04:20] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, jsut to the left of the clock and the volume thing on the top right panel
[04:20] <crazy_penguin> Hello all!
[04:20] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, I am using cygwin and an xterm from that, bulmer.  I echo $TERM and it says screen.
[04:20] <zoli2k> unop: but for example a festy upgraded from edgy will be different as a fresh installation of feisty.
[04:20] <bluefox83> is there an apt-spy for ubuntu?
[04:20] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: my guess is that I need to reformat my hard drive to FAT?
[04:20] <bluefox83> in debian you use apt-spy to create a list of the fastest downloads in your area
[04:20] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Okay... now what do I do with it? I'll disconnect with wifi-radar and see what to do.
[04:20] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: What do I do?
[04:21] <Zdra> hi, I compiled metacity with compositor enabled in feisty. It links on libcm.... but when I start it I see no 3d effects...
[04:21] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, left click it and the networks availiable should be listed...
[04:21] <Zdra> how do I activate the compositor ?
[04:21] <Zdra> using compiz it works
[04:21] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: tbh ntfs is a better file system than fat, only gparted 1.0 is bugged. if you can find a bootable cd with gparted 2.0 use that
[04:21] <Slart> Zdra: I don't think the compositor makes 3d by itself.. something else has to do that.. but that "something else" probably needs the compositor to do that
[04:22] <server3> Hi all
[04:22] <e\ectro_> what is the package name for kerne-source ?
[04:22] <e\ectro_> I need 2.6.17
[04:22] <bluefox83> Zdra, you might want to try beryl, it has excellent eye candy :)
[04:22] <cappiz> never tried qemu hitammanis
[04:22] <cappiz> i only boot it from my usb-thumbdrive
[04:22] <hitammanis> cappiz: kewl, thanks
[04:22] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: So I can reduce partition size from a LiveCD as long as it has gparted 2.0?
[04:22] <Zdra> bluefox83: I know, but I want something very basic
[04:23] <unop> zoli2k,  quite naturally, because you will have made significant changes to the system that the upgrade just cannot possibly handle (considering how many people make changes to their systems) .. what you are expecting is that all these changes be undone -- but it's nothing serious tho -- if you want the settings of a fesity fresh-install, all you need to do is backup your home folder, install and import it once done
[04:23] <Zdra> and I want to give a try to metacity
[04:23] <lawli56> frogzoo and ubotwo thanks for the info... ooh i hate how long this takes to download.
[04:23] <Zdra> compiz and beryl are nice for demonstrations but are purely unusable
[04:23] <AzMoo> Beryl is so not unusable.
[04:23] <bluefox83> Zdra, beryl is pretty basic...and if you want you can add scripts
[04:23] <geo-> wtf lol
[04:24] <syzygyLap> during bootup from a live disk, after "starting Kernel Logs" it goes to a screen with a cursor blinking for a couple seconds, then goes to an all black screen
[04:24] <server3> I installed exim4 by package manager, but I can't tune it for work with mysql
[04:24] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, any ideas?
[04:24] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: my bad - gparted 0.2 - but ubuntu uses 0.1 so you'll need something else
[04:24] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: that seems okay..i cant think of anything that ssh will not pass through
[04:24] <syzygyLap> none of the escape keys I know of work
[04:24] <calvarez> beryl is totally useful
[04:24] <geo-> Zdra you have a slow system or something?
[04:24] <geo-> like really slow
[04:24] <Zdra> geo-: not at all
[04:24] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, I am guessing term or termcap is my issue, but am not sure of the ideal solution.
[04:24] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: if server uses X, maybe you can try ssh -X  to bring over the X..
[04:24] <AzMoo> Zdra, then why do you find it unusable?
[04:24] <Zdra> but I'm sick with too many effects
[04:24] <calvarez> not the wobbly windows, but the scaled windows are useful when getting stuff done
[04:24] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: it sounds clumsy, but you might have better luck with an ubuntu cd, and the latest gparted on usb, that might be possible
[04:25] <bluefox83> Zdra, just turn the ones you don't want, off
[04:25] <Pres-Gas> bulmer, too slow for now.
[04:25] <hitammanis> brb
[04:25] <calvarez> Zdra, I found that scaling (pressing F8) is pretty nice and useful. Other features may not be, but that one is
[04:25] <Zdra> bluefox83: yes but for example it change de desktop switch behavious
[04:25] <Pres-Gas> I would actually love to bring a ton of X stuff over, but the connection is slower than I'd like
[04:25] <syzygyLap> is it possible to upgrade from a debian build to ubuntu without an ubuntu CD?
[04:25] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: But what's the difference between a liveCD and a Ubuntu CD?
[04:25] <Spaghetti_Knife> Pricechild: Ummm... is the network-manager-gnome application the two-screens icon?
[04:26] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, yes
[04:26] <Zdra> I can't have 7 desktops without that stupid slow effects with the cube
[04:26] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Because when I click that, no list of networks comes up.
[04:26] <server3> Anywhere in manuals adviced only handmake build it from Makefile and there written how to configure Makefile
[04:26] <AzMoo> Zdra, turn off the cube.
[04:26] <bulmer> Pres-Gas: i think you are right, the termcap may not be set right
[04:26] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: some ubuntu cds will run ubuntu when they're booted
[04:26] <bluefox83> Zdra, you can turn it off if ou want..make it do things the way you want
[04:26] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, right click it and ensure wireless is enabled
[04:26] <unop> syzygyLap,  well, that could leave you with serious problems -- if you are brave enough, it's definitely possible
[04:26] <server3>  I installed exim4 by package manager, but I can't tune it for work with mysql
[04:26] <server3> Help. I installed exim4 by package manager, but I can't tune it for work with mysql
[04:26] <m4ytt> capp
[04:27] <bluefox83> server3, i don't think anyone here knows how to help..sorry
[04:27] <syzygyLap> unop: I would feel comfortable debugging it if I had some tips
[04:27] <Zdra> hm... in the it's not my question, I want to make metacity work, that's all :)
[04:27] <AzMoo> Zdra, metacity doesn't have any effects that a compositor will help with.
[04:27] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: So, from what I've gathered, I need to put gparted 0.2 onto a USB flash drive, then boot Ubuntu using a Ubuntu CD, not a liveCD. Right?
[04:27] <bulmer> server3 whats exim4 is supposed to do?
[04:27] <Zdra> AzMoo: I don't want effets, I just need a compositor running
[04:27] <server3> Because it is possible only manually
[04:27] <bluefox83> Zdra, did you compile metacity? it's in the repos you know O.o
[04:27] <unop> syzygyLap, errm, be warned that if you do attempt that and you run into problems -- most people here will be hesitant in helping
[04:27] <m4ytt> cappiz thanks for your help with ntfs read\write just while im here could you tell me how to put your name before my writing
[04:28] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: the edgy cd will work as a live cd
[04:28] <Zdra> and compiling metacity with compositor enabled seems to not be enough
[04:28] <syzygyLap> unop: meh I just need some pointers, not expecting anyone here to do it for me
[04:28] <unop> syzygyLap,  and why would you want to "upgrade" from debian to ubuntu -- why not just stay with debian?
[04:28] <cappiz> m4ytt, which IRC client do you use?
[04:28] <m4ytt> xchat
[04:28] <cappiz> should work with the tab
[04:28] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: ah, thanks. So gparted .02 on flash drive, boot ubuntu from edgy cd then reduce partition size?
[04:28] <syzygyLap> unop: well, I want to try ubuntu, but the install CD isn't working for me
[04:29] <cappiz> TAB, tabulator
[04:29] <Zdra> bluefox83: yes of courses I compiled it with compositor enabled, and it now link on libcm so I guess it should be ok
[04:29] <bluefox83> Zdra, install metacity from the repos, install beryl..it gives you the option to use beryl or metacity inside the settings manager on your taskbar
[04:29] <cappiz> just type my first letters, and complete it with TAB
[04:29] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: oops, 0.2
[04:29] <server3> I suppose to use exim4 as mail-server for internet
[04:29] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: that's safest, but if you value your data, you'll backup first
[04:29] <zoli2k> unop: I installed ubuntu on  many computers, mostly for  non-experienced linux users. They love the ubuntu graphical upgrade system, but probably they are not able to handle a crash from X to terminal. Do you think is upgrading ubuntu  safe? I always had the development version installed, so I am not surprised if something falls.
[04:29] <m4ytt> capwheres tab
[04:29] <GoopyMonkey> ok, if I take that road instead of a new hard drive, I will backup. :D
[04:29] <bluefox83> Zdra, why are you compiling instead of installing from the repos?
[04:30] <Zdra> bluefox83: because in the repos metacity doesn't have the compositor enabled
[04:30] <bulmer> server3: is the problem  interfacing with mysql or just to get exim4 running?
[04:30] <unop> syzygyLap,  well, the way to go is edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and add in the ubuntu repositories -- then use apt-get to dist-upgrade .. and then spend quite sometime stablisizing the system afterwards:)
[04:30] <cappiz> m4ytt, TAP is the button right above "Caps Lock"
[04:30] <cappiz> TAB*
[04:30] <syzygyLap> huh... in safe graphics mode it doesn't have output on either of my monitors
[04:30] <bluefox83> zoli2k, once in a while, packages get stuck when upgraded, but for the most part it's pretty safe
[04:31] <bluefox83> Zdra, you don't need it...
[04:31] <usuario> guarra
[04:31] <frogzoo> zoli2k: so far only fairly basic setups have been able to upgrade without any problems
[04:31] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Heya, it's me. I logged in and out like you said, and is the icon for the gnome network manager the two-screens thing that I see at the right?
[04:31] <usuario> hello
[04:31] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: Because I bring it up, and I don't see a list of available networks.
[04:31] <freezey> cappiz: yeah i want to see my FTP the folders that i have inside of their
[04:31] <usuario> guarra
[04:31] <heatman> what are the pc requirements for ubuntu 6.10 and also, what could cause the pc to freeze everytime i use apt-get/synaptic or other updating tools?
[04:31] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, on the right click menu is wireless enabled?
[04:31] <unop> zoli2k,  well, thats the thing with upgrading anything -- you cannot guarantee everything is going to work as in a fresh install -- there will always be small nagging problems .. in ubuntu, most of them are definitely rectifiable -- but to answer your question -- it's definitely better to upgrade than do a fresh install
[04:32] <cappiz> freezey, are you able to login to the server?
[04:32] <frogzoo> heatman: minimum I think is 5gig + 1gig cpu
[04:32] <freezey> cappiz: na thats what i am sayin how do i even hit that?>

[04:39] <fromvega> Is there a way to use only one user account with all the server services like mail, ftp, apache, ssh? Because I'm a little confused about all the user that I need to create and configure for all the services. Which is the best way to manage and organize user accounts?
[04:39] <freezey> cappiz: what dir does it look in?
[04:39] <edit_21> need support for 965 intel chipset
[04:39] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, I don't know really... if you're not getting a right click menu then I haven't got a clue how to fix that

[04:40] <Spaghetti_Knife> PriceChild: How do I terminal access this app?
[04:40] <PriceChild> Spaghetti_Knife, its not a terminal app
[04:40] <cappiz> freezey, find you external IP, if you are behind a firewall you need to forwar port 21, and the passive port range.
[04:41] <Slasher> WOOOOOOOHOOO thanks everyone for the help! its working now :D
[04:41] <unop> zoli2k,  thats a tough question to answer -- for the most part, i'll say yes -- but there might be instances for e.g. that firefox or one of it's plugins will have failed to work after the upgrade .. so, then you do need to troubleshoot small issues afterwards -- but the same thing happens when you upgrade windows even, small issues persist afterwards
[04:41] <Jeeva> i installed samba & created a user, but when i go to the pc path \\192.168.1.5, it says, network path not found
[04:41] <ste> iopiop

[04:42] <bluefox83> Jeeva, did you create a mount point, and mount the share?
[04:42] <ste> bye !
[04:42] <unop> Jeeva, 192.168.1.5 is the samba machine ? try accessing a share  \\192.168.1.5\sharename
[04:42] <zoli2k> unop: but this firefox thing is nothing serios. ;)
[04:42] <frogzoo> andy: emacs?
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> what are seveas's repositories?
[04:43] <freezey> cappiz: ok i am just going to NAT the box out... because i am behind a firewall.. so basically once i have that port natted out it should be cool?

[04:43] <PriceChild> freezey, ^^^
[04:43] <unop> zoli2k,  to you the firefox thing is not serious -- but to someone who just "points, clicks and hopes to get by" it sure is :)
[04:43] <frogzoo> andy: I don't think anyone knows all of emacs
[04:43] <freezey> Pricechild: what are you trying to tell me?
[04:44] <andy> frogzoo, but is it hard to learn?
[04:44] <unop> RMS might know all of emacs ... even his beard tells emacs tales :)
[04:44] <andy> lol
[04:44] <PriceChild> freezey, whoops... not you either... I meant devilsadvocate..... sorry I'm being poor today :)
[04:44] <jaycie> i would like to know if ubuntu networking networkign is easier to get to work than xp.. so i can throw xp where it belongs.. in the gargabe
[04:44] <freezey> Pricechild: its alright haha
[04:44] <frogzoo> andy: there's cheat sheets for the basic commands, then enable php mode & figure out tags & you're in business
[04:45] <andy> frogzoo, alright ;)
[04:45] <unop> andy,  its considerably easier than vi/vim to learn .. but much harder than the average-joe editors .. so it's somewhere inbetween
[04:45] <zoli2k> unop: Nothing serios from my viewpoint. I mean, in such a case I am able to login via SSH  and solve the problem without physical access.
[04:45] <andy> unop, should be perfect for me then
[04:46] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: OK, thanks, I'e had a look around at things, but will I need to boot ubuntu from the CD to actually use gparted?
[04:46] <freezey> cappiz: how do i enable it to prompt you to sign in?
[04:46] <Alucart> gooood morning vietnam ^^
[04:46] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: sorry, *I've
[04:46] <Alucart> hello
[04:46] <unop> zoli2k,  ok, i'll make it easier on you -- over time, the ubuntu upgrades have become much more consistent and successful .. does that make you feel happy now? :)
[04:46] <Jeeva> unop: where can i see my samba users
[04:46] <bluefox83> jaycie, in my oppinion ubuntu networking is infinantly easier than windows cus when stuff breaks you can actually fix it, and not hope windows can do it right
[04:46] <frogzoo> GoopyMonkey: that sounds like a good approach, but still backup any data you can't replace
[04:46] <Slasher> right well thats ndiswrapper fixed, now to go break something else
[04:47] <freezey> unop: do u know how i would make this prompt you to sign into the machine?
[04:47] <cappiz> freezey, try ftp://user:pass@localhost first
[04:47] <GoopyMonkey> frogzoo: OK, I'll back up my sisters MP3's and my flash 8 things :)
[04:47] <Alucart> is eanybody able to explaine me how i activate the fullduplex off my soundcard?
[04:47] <freezey> well i just want it to prompt you to sign into the FTP
[04:47] <freezey> i think i have anon access setup tho
[04:48] <freezey> cappiz: i think i have anon access setup tho so i am guessing if i take that off it will prompt me
[04:48] <bluefox83> Alucart, fullduplex?
[04:48] <jaycie> bluefox83 ok do u network and can share printer? if theres a web site i will look
[04:48] <zoli2k> unop: I am allways happy ubuntu user :) I jumped over Mandrake, Red Hat, Gentoo, Suse, Debian, and Ubuntu is my favorite. So forgive me my critical eye :)
[04:49] <hellmet>  yep, Ubuntu rules
[04:49] <Alucart> every new soundcard is able to use fullduplex thats mean you can talk on teamspeak with some guys and to listen music
[04:49] <unop> freezey,  what prompt is that -- ftp?
[04:49] <unop> Jeeva,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=23616
[04:49] <bluefox83> jaycie, when my girlfriend ran xp i used to share files with her back and forth easily, she uses ubuntu now though and it's as easy as moving a file into a folder now :). as for printer sharing, i knwo there's oodles of tools out there for it, i just don't have a printer to try them on >.>
[04:49] <habeeb>  Hello I want to allow a user to read/write two certain directories, in which right now he doesnt have even read access. How can I do that?
[04:49] <jaycie> thank u bluefox83
[04:50] <jaycie> ah ok
[04:50] <bluefox83> jaycie, no problem :)
[04:50] <jaycie> well xp works only if it wants to
[04:50] <freezey> unop: well what i am sayin is that... when people from the outside goto hit my ftp service i want them to use the credentials i gave them
[04:50] <unop> habeeb,  chmod u+rw dir1 dir2
[04:50] <jaycie> bluefox83 u use ubuntu 6.10 edgy?
[04:50] <Alucart> jaycie: but you can use dna-driver for ati graphiccards ^^
[04:50] <freezey> unop: and another thing is say i have videos on this FTP service... how do i make it so they stream the video instead of having to download it?
[04:50] <unop> habeeb,  thats for when the user is the owner of the two directories there
[04:51] <bluefox83> jaycie, yes, and she uses breezy
[04:51] <jaycie> Alucart i'm NEW so alot is greek to me
[04:51] <jaycie> breezy is which?
[04:51] <MsgToThePpl> anyone can help me with a usb card reader ?
[04:51] <cappiz> freezey, yeah.
[04:51] <andy> frogzoo, I installed emacs snapshot with gtk support, is that enough?
[04:52] <unop> freezey,  to answer the first question -- just as long as you have disabled anonymous login, the users _must_ use credentials you give them .. the second one depends on the browsers that the users use -- some browsers "stream" multimedia content, some dont
[04:52] <andy> because I can't see emacs in my applications menu
[04:52] <bluefox83> jaycie, breezy is 6.06 but i would suggest edgy as it's got newer software available ;)
[04:52] <Alucart> jaycie: i use debian etch or other distris but not since 1990 ^^ i dont know everything, too
[04:52] <habeeb> He is not unop
[04:52] <jaycie> ok blue thanks.. rite
[04:52] <jaycie> ok Alam_Ubuntu
[04:52] <jaycie> Alucart i meant
[04:52] <frogzoo> andy: I guess you'll want to install 'php-mode' as well
[04:52] <Alucart> jaycie: to install the system and all drivers bring up to work is a war for me ^^
[04:53] <jaycie> i have an old laptop and a new one i can't get printer to share anymore and i'm tired of the xp mess
[04:53] <bluefox83> Alucart, whats the matter?
[04:53] <yommb> what  good lightweight file managers are out there for ubuntu ?
[04:53] <jaycie> Alucart war as in pain?
[04:54] <jaycie> in a min gonna try to find some online help for sharing on ubuntu then thanks
[04:54] <jaycie> ops
[04:54] <unop> yommb,  rox-filer and gnome-commander are two i like
[04:54] <jaycie> i am gonna
[04:54] <jaycie> thanks .. have a great day.. bye
[04:55] <Alucart> jaicie: yeah it is what i mean
[04:55] <Alucart> ^^
[04:55] <bluefox83> you too jaycie
[04:55] <jaycie> won't be good for me then Alucart i bet
[04:55] <jaycie> bye
[04:55] <bluefox83> >.>
[04:56] <bluefox83> what the hell
[04:56] <Alucart> bluefox83: i am not able to hear music an play or talk in teamspeak
[04:56] <MedivhX> ahoy!
[04:56] <bluefox83> you shouldn't tell people it's hard to do stuff just cus you can't get it working...other people can and by saying it's hard you discourage users from trying ubuntu >.>
[04:56] <pirx> hey! isnt it a bit crappy that the default media player (totem) cant play a single f***ing video file out there? :)
[04:57] <bluefox83> Alucart, what kind of headset are you using?
[04:57] <santa> hi all
[04:57] <Alucart> bluefox83: it is a standard headdy
[04:57] <bauer77> pirx do you have the codecs to play the files installed?
[04:57] <santa> are the repositories a little bit messed up today ?
[04:57] <Slackwise> pirx: That's Gstreamer's fault for not having the right codecs :P
[04:57] <unop> pirx,  please mind the language ... and have you got some codecs installed?
[04:57] <bluefox83> Alucart, and your speakers and headset don't plug into the same hole?
[04:58] <Alucart> bluefox: no ^^
[04:58] <Alucart> bluefox: do you use windows as a second system?
[04:58] <bluefox83> Alucart, i doubt it's a problem of drivers, i believe you have a seperate sound device for each output
[04:58] <bluefox83> Alucart, i only use ubuntu ;)
[04:59] <Alucart> bluefox: there you can listen to musik and watch films with sounds too
[04:59] <freezey> unop: do u know of any apps where i can setup a streaming server?
[04:59] <bluefox83> Alucart, yeah, i can do that now O.o
[04:59] <santa> arrrggghhh
[04:59] <andy> when I try to remove vmware-player, I get an error message and so now everytime I install a package, the same error occurs, is there a way how I can fix that?
[04:59] <santa> could someone paste me a sources.list
[04:59] <bluefox83> Alucart, fullduplex probably creates a second sound device listing
[04:59] <Alucart> bluefox, this means that i must recompile the drivers of alsa and if that dont works the kernel?
[04:59] <unop> freezey,  apache can do it -- but i think you need to have the multimedia in a set format
[05:00] <bauer77> VLC you can Freezey
[05:00] <freezey> unop: know of any documentation?
[05:00] <bluefox83> Alucart, no
[05:00] <freezey> bauer77: yeah but i ahve an entire directory of files that needed to be streamed not just 1
[05:00] <bluefox83> Alucart, it means you need to find out what all of your audio output /dev listings are, and then make sure teamspeak and your music player are pointing to different ones ;)
[05:01] <unop> santa,  http://pastebin.ca/343378
[05:01] <santa> thank you
[05:01] <Alucart> bluefox, how can i do this?
[05:01] <bauer77> ah ok
[05:01] <bauer77> when you find the answer let me know...hehe
[05:01] <bluefox83> Alucart, poke around man..that's how you learn...
[05:01] <freezey> bauer77: haha u talkin to me?
[05:02] <bauer77> yeah..lol
[05:02] <pirx> Slackwise: yeah, at least some files should be playable:) do you know which package to install to get more codecs?
[05:02] <gpled> trying to understand why ubuntu updates are so slow?  only getting 19kB/s .  Is their mirrors i should be using, that are faster?
[05:02] <roadton> hi there
[05:02] <bluefox83> Alucart, i would try something like skype first, to check out your audio input/output stuff, while playing music in something like amarok or xmms ;)
[05:02] <Alucart> bluefox, then i must read a lot x-D i hate it to read ^^ i like to listen but festival can help
[05:03] <HymnToLife> gpled, in which part of the world do you live ?
[05:03] <bluefox83> gpled, hey i had that issue..sept i was getting speeds of less than 1k
[05:03] <Alucart> bluefox, thats my prob i cant do that
[05:03] <bluefox83> Alucart, it's not hard, just try different listings till something works
[05:03] <bluefox83> Alucart, why not?
[05:04] <Vuen> hi, how can i check in a bash script whether a file exists?
[05:04] <roadton> I've tried a lot but I can't get my AccessRunner DSL to work on ubuntu
[05:04] <Alucart> bluefox, for example when i had open for example totem and whant to hear music in beep then i get a meassage that the is sounddevice is in use
[05:05] <AVN`> I can't get Last.fm and festival to work at the same time
[05:05] <bluefox83> O.o
[05:05] <bluefox83> i don't get that issue to my knowledge..
[05:05] <onats> hi, what program controls the physical volume control?
[05:05] <bluefox83> onats, gnome volume control
[05:05] <gpled> HymnToLife: in the 216.110.195.2 part
[05:06] <Vuen> anyone? i need to check via the command line whether a file exists
[05:06] <hbaigu> roadton, do you have the cxacru-fw.bin
[05:07] <onats> bluefox83, so how do i change which slider the physical volume control changes when i adjust the volume?
[05:07] <AVN`> I can't get Last.fm and festival to work at the same time, any suggestions? Festival says it can't access /dev/dsp
[05:07] <rapid> Vuen, type ls, if you see it it probably exists.
[05:07] <Vuen> rapid: i need to check this in a script. nevermind i found it, it's if [-e <file>] 
[05:07] <unop> Vuen,  if [ -e file ] ; then echo exits; fi
[05:07] <Jeeva> where does windows /hosts sits again
[05:08] <andy> can I somehow force to delete a package?
[05:08] <bluefox83> onats, it's usually master control/ master output  or pcm, try it and find out
[05:08] <unop> Jeeva,  %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
[05:08] <Jeeva> tar
[05:08] <guest_uris> Hi everyone, has anyone had any luck installing Ubuntu on a western digital 1600 sata hard drive?
[05:08] <roadton> hbaigu: yes, I've already extracted the firmware
[05:08] <unop> andy,  usually - sudo dpkg --purge package  does it
[05:09] <andy> unop, it gives me an error
[05:09] <unop> andy,  i'd be interested in that if you're interested in me giving you an interesting suggestion :)
[05:09] <hbaigu> roadton, and what is in the output of dmesg
[05:09] <scratchme> When building a kernel, how do you create an install from the kernel package (.deb file) to be placed on a new install?  Like if I wanted a small ubuntu distro.
[05:10] <andy> the problem is the error is in german so I don't think it will be a big of a help but let me check real quick
[05:10] <scratchme> Rather than only updating your current install/boot kernel.
[05:10] <soundray> andy: plenty of German language competence here
[05:10] <andy> alright, I gonna post it on a paste service(anyone knows one by heart? :D)

[05:13] <guest_uris> gled: i have been trying for the past couple days, with xubuntu edgy
[05:13] <gpled> using 6.06
[05:13] <guest_uris> gpled: it doesn't detect the hard drive
[05:13] <soundray> unop: are you on the case?
[05:14] <zoli2k> scratchme, you should visit the #ubuntu-motu channel
[05:14] <hellmet> since when is the bot around??
[05:14] <gpled> guest_uris: this the first time you putting a sata in that motherboard?
[05:14] <hellmet> how many days?
[05:14] <unop> soundray,  ohh please contribute if you know of a suggestion -- there is no exclusivity in here :)
[05:14] <guest_uris> gled: first time I a m working with sata
[05:14] <guest_uris> gpled: XP installed fine, but ubuntu can't see the hard drive.
[05:14] <gpled> guest_uris: need to make sure your bios is set right for it to work
[05:15] <andy> unop, so, could you now maybe give me a suggestion what to do? :D
[05:15] <soundray> unop: I have a suggestion, but it's a dirty hack. There may be a canonical way of dealing with this problem
[05:15] <gpled> guest_uris: you using 6.10?
[05:15] <guest_uris> gpled: yse
[05:15] <guest_uris> gpled: yes*
[05:15] <hellmet> i've never had problems with Sata..
[05:15] <gpled> guest_uris: try 6.06. bet it works
[05:15] <unop> soundray,  ok, what is it? might be the same thing i am thinking off
[05:15] <guest_uris> gpled: ok, was thinking about using OpenSuSE if it doesnt work, or buy an IDE.
[05:16] <yellowdart> guest_uris, does grub show the drive when you boot?
[05:16] <gpled> have had nothing but trouble with 6.10.  all the people in our lug have had trouble with it.  we all went back to 6.06
[05:16] <guest_uris> yellowdart: i cant even install grub
[05:16] <soundray> andy: edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware-player.postinst and force it to 'exit 0' instead of the positive return code resulting from that networking error
[05:16] <unop> andy,  do this -- find /var/lib/dpkg/ | grep -i "vmware" | grep -i "post"   and show us what is returned
[05:16] <yellowdart> guest_uris, i see
[05:16] <gpled> guest_uris: if this is for a server, give centos a try
[05:17] <guest_uris> gpled: ok, it is for a server, to host an EMR for a small hospital
[05:17] <andy> ok, I gonna try soundray's suggestion first and if that doesn't work, unop's :)
[05:17] <bezibaerchen> wie setzt man die default-route REBOOTFEST?
[05:17] <soundray> andy: I think unop will agree that you can safely skip his ;)
[05:17] <gpled> guest_uris: think you will be happy with centos for production
[05:17] <andy> :D
[05:17] <unop> andy,  thats fine- i was getting to the same thing -- althought i would comment out a line that says "set -e" instead of changing "exit 0"
[05:17] <babbognu> I need help for to install
[05:18] <gpled> guest_uris: also, great support in centos channel
[05:18] <hellmet> CentOS is pretty good
[05:18] <babbognu> ubuntu on my mactel
[05:18] <soundray> unop: oh, that's smart (andy)
[05:18] <a-l-p-h-a> Do I have to login first before I can VNC into a session?  Or can I start a session via VNC?
[05:18] <babbognu> someone can help me
[05:18] <guest_uris> gpled: thhanks, will give it a try. but I am running short on time, so have to do it with Ubuntu for now.
[05:18] <gpled> hellmet: should be.  companys shell out big bucks to redhat for it :)
[05:18] <babbognu> thanks
[05:19] <soundray> babbognu: ask
[05:19] <dremon> just 2 cents about sata: there are many problems with fake raids on the motherboard. So they should be disabled in BIOS
[05:19] <hellmet> gpled: But, I find it pretty difficult to se, after getting used to Ubuntu..
[05:19] <hellmet> gpled: use*
[05:19] <gpled> guest_uris: sata is great, but can be tricky at your fist try.   if you can go ide, that will get you going fast.  but i would stay away from 6.10 for production
[05:19] <babbognu> or give me a link where i can download ubuntu install
[05:19] <andy>  invoke-rc.d vmware-player start || exit $? is that maybe the line?
[05:19] <unop> a-l-p-h-a,  a vncserver instance must be running before you can connect to it .. so you do need to login before a vncserver instance can be started
[05:20] <babbognu> for mac
[05:20] <babbognu> intel
[05:20] <babbognu> I have mac book
[05:20] <soundray> babbognu: download the i386 Desktop CD. It will boot on your Mac.
[05:20] <gpled> hellmet: i hear you.  redhad does some errr, new things.  it is tricky to setup a service, but it works good, once you understand what they did.  love yum :)

[05:21] <Goldenphoenix> hello
[05:21] <hellmet> gpled: Me trying to 'use' CentOS.. you know.. I plan to fix Linux as my career.. I love *nix
[05:21] <UberPsyX> hi, does anyone know how to bridge my connection from my wifi card to my ethernet port?
[05:22] <hellmet> gpled: But, the #centos channel is pretty non-helpful.. completely in contrast to this channel.. Trying everything on my own!! :-(
[05:22] <gpled> hellmet: you any good with bash scripts?
[05:22] <a-l-p-h-a> unop, thanks.  thought so, but was hoping I was wrong.
[05:22] <Myrt2> hi, when I'm trying to open php file from local apache it shows download dialog with PTHML file - what do I need to change in default ubuntu apache2 pkg config to make it work?
[05:22] <roadton> hbaigu: I followed these instructions http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145138  and my modem light blinks but nothing works
[05:23] <soundray> UberPsyX: not sure about bridging, but this kind of problem can be solved with NAT (network address translation), and that is easy to set up with firestarter
[05:23] <unop> a-l-p-h-a,  well, what i do is login via ssh to start the vncserver -- so that means i dont have to leave the remote machine running vncserver all the time
[05:23] <leal> There is a tool to let a "user" update from dapper to edgy graphically?
[05:23] <hellmet> gpled: Nope.. Am pretty new to core Linux.. All I can do is setup a computer for a windows migrant.. and configure small things like TV, etcetera
[05:23] <soundray> leal: yes
[05:23] <soundray> !upgrade | leal
[05:23] <ubotu> leal: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:23] <guest_uris> gpled: is CentOS Debian-based?
[05:23] <unop> UberPsyX,  this might help http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html
[05:23] <a-l-p-h-a> unop, okay... ssh, login, and how do I start vncserver? cli> vncserver?
[05:24] <gpled> guest_uris: it is redhat enterprise
[05:24] <zoli2k> leal: you need to edit the /etc/apt/source.list by hand.
[05:24] <hellmet> guest_uris: Nope
[05:24] <farruinn> Myrt2: in your httpd.conf, search for an AddType line that includes .php and .phtml
[05:24] <guest_uris> ok, thanks
[05:24] <UberPsyX> soundray|its just i have a desktop on wifi card and wanted to hook my xbox up via xlink kai and the router is an unsuitable place to play so i wanted to plug into the ethernet port and connect via that
[05:24] <soundray> leal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades -- look out for the update-manager instructions
[05:24] <unop> a-l-p-h-a,  i think that depends on the vncserver package you use -- usually, you just need to type in - vncserver&  at the command line
[05:24] <andy> soundray, hm, I replaced two "exit $?" with exit 0 but the same error occured.
[05:24] <farruinn> Myrt2: You should have something like "AddType  application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml"
[05:24] <gpled> so anyone know how i can get better update speeds with 6.06?
[05:25] <unop> andy,  comment out the line that says "set -e" in the script
[05:25] <soundray> andy: you must have missed unop's last suggestion, which was to...
[05:25] <soundray> there you go
[05:25] <leal> soundray: thanks, i will look it..
[05:25] <andy> did that too, didn't work, same error.
[05:25] <unop> andy,  or if that doesnt exist -- change the shbang line (first line) and remove the -e from it -- i.e. #!/bin/sh -e to #!/bin/sh
[05:26] <hbaigu> roadton, see if in the output of dmesg says ' ADSL line: up'
[05:26] <soundray> andy: stupid question, have you saved those changes?
[05:26] <lvs> hello, i am on LinuxMint (an edgy based distro) and i screwed my sys last night.. i lost my DE... using apt-get i got it back...but i don't have a terminal or Add/Remove in the Menu and no sound either..what can i do?
[05:26] <soundray> andy: and which file are you editing?
[05:26] <unop> andy,  errm, actually to think about it -- you'll need to remove "|| exit $?" ass that will exit the script if the command before it fails
[05:26] <farruinn> Myrt2: looking at mine, (/etc/apache/httpd.conf) it's commented out and only includes .php, not .phtml
[05:27] <andy> soundray, jep, saved it.
[05:27] <unop> s/ass/as/
[05:27] <JackOfSpades> hello
[05:27] <heatman> is there a way to make the failsafe shell take the entire page instead of beeing confined to a corner of the screen?
[05:27] <Vuen> argh
[05:27] <Vuen> i'm angry
[05:27] <JackOfSpades> I just installed ubuntu, but there is no windows option in the grub menu, so I edited my /boot/grub/menu.lst and uncommented the lines for windows, but now I get following error:  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
[05:28] <Vuen> i wrote a script to anti-alias amsn on the ubuntu forums
[05:28] <leal> soundray: perfect. is a friend of mine... i did show the ubuntu to him, as an "easy to use distro" :))
[05:28] <Vuen> and some guy just blatantly copied my script, stripped my name off and reposted it
[05:28] <JackOfSpades> I get it when wanting to start windows
[05:28] <andy> it seems like the changes doesn't affect the command at all
[05:28] <roadton> hbaigu: ok, I'll check, thanks
[05:28] <hbaigu> roadton, do you know if you isp uses pppoe
[05:28] <heatman> o.0 thats not cool Vuen
[05:28] <leal> soundray: i will create a icon for him... for future upgrades. thanks a lot.
[05:28] <Vuen> what should i do? should i report it to the mods? he's made some dangerous changes that could really screw up people's computers too
[05:28] <andy> http://pastebin.ca/344193
[05:28] <Vuen> he gzipped the script to try to hide to fact that he copied it from me
[05:29] <unop> andy, did you remove "|| exit $?" from that line?
[05:29] <andy> unop, yep.
[05:29] <roadton> hbaigu: yes, it does
[05:29] <lvs> hello, i am on LinuxMint (an edgy based distro) and i screwed my sys last night.. i lost my DE... using apt-get i got it back...but i don't have a terminal or Add/Remove in the Menu and no sound either..what can i do?
[05:29] <unop> andy,  and commented out set -e too?
[05:29] <soundray> Vuen: aren't you glad he didn't leave your name in?
[05:29] <andy> unop, yes
[05:29] <gpled> is everyone else getting fast updates? or just having the same problem?
[05:29] <Vuen> soundray: i suppose...
[05:29] <Vuen> :/
[05:29] <unop> andy,  ok, lets see the output now then
[05:29] <hellmet> my updates are OK
[05:29] <andy> unop, http://pastebin.ca/344193 <-- that's the output
[05:30] <hellmet> it is ofcourse slower than torrents.. but its fine
[05:30] <UberPsyX> soundray| can you send the link again please, x chat closed unexpectedly :P
[05:30] <soundray> Vuen: it's not a fair thing to do, I do feel your pain -- but I don't think there's anything you can do
[05:30] <JackOfSpades> I get it when wanting to start windows
[05:30] <JackOfSpades> I just installed ubuntu, but there is no windows option in the grub menu, so I edited my /boot/grub/menu.lst and uncommented the lines for windows, but now I get following error:  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
[05:30] <unop> Vuen,  if you are so worried about Intellectual Property -- why paste your work on a public forum -- there's no way to enforce action now however unfortunate that is
[05:30] <hbaigu> roadton, if so, you have to put 'plugin rp-pppoe.so' in the /etc/ppp/peers/<isp file>
[05:31] <leal> Somebody here could connect the wii console to ubuntu, without a wireless router (just a wireless card)?
[05:31] <Bonez> I keep losing my wifi and mouse.....can someone please help
[05:31] <bluefox83> where can i find a mirror list for edgy?
[05:31] <gpled> JackOfSpades: can you boot off a disk, and edit it back?
[05:31] <lvs> hello, i am on LinuxMint (an edgy based distro) and i screwed my sys last night.. i lost my DE... using apt-get i got it back...but i don't have a terminal or Add/Remove in the Menu and no sound either..what can i do?
[05:31] <Vuen> unop, soundray: yeah, i know it's not a big deal. i'm just a little sore is all.
[05:31] <UberPsyX> does anyone know how to bridge a wireless connection to an ethernet port?
[05:31] <zoli2k> JackOfSpades: Are you sure you have entered the root() for the right windows partition?
[05:31] <soundray> UberPsyX: I don't think I linked you to anything
[05:32] <bluefox83> lvs, this isn't #linuxmint we have no idea how to fix your distro, sorry
[05:32] <heatman> is there a way to make the failsafe shell take the entire page instead of beeing confined to a corner of the screen?
[05:32] <UberPsyX> soundray| yes, it was the wifi bridging thing
 UberPsyX: not sure about bridging, but this kind of problem can be solved with NAT (network address translation), and that is easy to set up with firestarter
[05:32] <unop> Vuen,  well, i dont think you should be -- it's trivial -- if i were you i'd be happy someone else is happy with a bad conscience :)
[05:32] <onats> how do i change which slider the physical volume control changes when i adjust the volume?
[05:32] <andy> it works now juhu
[05:32] <UberPsyX> soundray| yes then after that you linked me to a how to
[05:32] <andy> got rid of it
[05:33] <hellmet> onats, I'd like to know that too
[05:33] <unop> andy, it works now?
[05:33] <soundray> UberPsyX: no, I definitely didn't... but try this:
[05:33] <soundray> !firestarter | UberPsyX
[05:33] <ubotu> UberPsyX: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:34] <roadton> hbaigu: ok, I'll try that, thanks a lot
[05:34] <bzaks> Is there a good source for evolution extensions? I'd like to create a pop up that just tells me every morning what I have for the day
[05:34] <soundray> UberPsyX: found it: <unop> UberPsyX,  this might help http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO.html
[05:34] <unop> UberPsyX,  it was me who suggested the howto -- didnt it work?
[05:34] <andy> unop, I got it removed with a suggestion from the ubuntuforums :)
[05:35] <UberPsyX> soundray| thanks, but one thing, i havent got a problem its just i want to link my xbox to my pc so i can use xlink kai (free xbox live) and it cant find a connection and i know a few friends have it working
[05:35] <unop> andy,  nice one, can you post the link please :)
[05:35] <hbaigu> roadton, if your isp uses pppoe you need also the tool br2684ctl, that is in the repositories
[05:35] <andy> unop, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315493&page=3 third page, first post
[05:35] <UberPsyX> unop| i dont know i was going to copy the link and give it to a friend whose good with pc's to see if its the right thing

[05:36] <hellmet> Has anyone seen ubuntuforums.INFO ??
[05:36] <MacLinuxMaster> I'm having a system lockup while erasing cdrw. Someone have this problem ? When I blank a cdrw with cdrecord or cdrdao my system became locked until it end.
[05:36] <soundray> UberPsyX: what would you like me to do or say?
[05:36] <unop> UberPsyX,  the PC you want to create the bridge on -- does it run ubuntu/linux?
[05:36] <UberPsyX> unop| ubuntu
[05:36] <JackOfSpades> I just installed ubuntu, but there is no windows option in the grub menu, so I edited my /boot/grub/menu.lst and uncommented the lines for windows, but now I get following error:  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
[05:37] <JackOfSpades> when trying to boot windows
[05:37] <unop> UberPsyX,  then do what soundray suggests and enable NAT
[05:37] <UberPsyX> unop|with the firestarter thing
[05:37] <guest_uris> gpled: 6.06 isn't installing either, can't find the hard drive. I guess will wait for the IDE drive to reach.
[05:37] <bzaks> Is there a good source for evolution extensions? I'd like to create an alarm that goes off at a certain time every morning that basically tells me everything to do for the day.
[05:37] <unop> UberPsyX,  yep indeed
[05:38] <carbine> I'm trying to set up an IRC server, and I feel I have completely screwed things up..
[05:38] <UberPsyX> unop| ok thanks a lot ill go and try it
[05:38] <hbaigu> roadton, see this for pppoe, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217374
[05:38] <MacLinuxMaster> How is the behavior of  your system, it became locked while erasing a cdrw ?
[05:38] <Luk0r> carbine: which IRCd are you using?
[05:38] <soundray> JackOfSpades: those lines need to be adapted probably. I suggest you put them up on the pastebin
[05:38] <soundray> !pastebin | JackOfSpades
[05:38] <ubotu> JackOfSpades: 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)
[05:38] <unop> soundray,  what about IP addressing for the xbox .. sorrry, i know little of xboxes .. would be need to assign one to it or what?
[05:38] <soundray> JackOfSpades: paste the entire file, and the output from 'sudo fdisk -l' please
[05:39] <carbine> So could someone help me set up an IRC server with services?
[05:39] <JackOfSpades> k
[05:39] <Luk0r> carbine: which IRCd are you using?
[05:39] <soundray> unop: I know who makes Xboxes, which is enough for me not to make further enquiries, if you get my gist
[05:39] <carbine> Well, I was trying to use ircd-ircu, but I couldn't figure out how to install services with that, so I tried bahamut, now I've got everything screwed up.
[05:40] <MacLinuxMaster> Nobody ever erased a cdrw ?
[05:40] <Luk0r> carbine: I personally recommend unreal-ircd, it's very user friendly and easy to configure
[05:40] <unop> soundray,  true true -- but this is networking, we have to put egos aside and just get on with it, if you know where i am coming from :)
[05:40] <soundray> !dma | MacLinuxMaster
[05:40] <ubotu> MacLinuxMaster: dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hard disks & optical drives transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[05:40] <carbine> Just trying to install ircd now I get ": No such file or directory
[05:40] <carbine> Please create this file and/or rerun `configure' using --with-Cpath and recompile to correct this.
[05:40] <yommb> lol if I move my mouse my vlc video output starts flickering :)
[05:40] <MacLinuxMaster> soundray: I have sure my drives had dma enabled (udma2)
[05:41] <soundray> unop: I'm happy to answer networking related questions (if indeed I know the answer). When it comes to configuring an Xbox, I'm lost.
[05:41] <Luk0r> carbine: I could guide you through installing unreal, but I don't really use much else

[05:42] <soundray> zoli2k: oh dear
[05:42] <bluefox83> what exactly is a mirroring tool?
[05:42] <unop> zoli2k,  thats a pretty silly thing to do after all that talk earlier :)
[05:42] <MacLinuxMaster> soundray: Your system is not monopolised while erasing ?
[05:42] <soundray> zoli2k: you're just trying to pull our collective leg, aren't you?

[05:45] <andy> unop, how can I get php-mode running in emacs?
[05:45] <scv> robert_, are you on amd64?

[05:45] <robert_> yup
[05:45] <robert_> x2
[05:45] <Luk0r> carbine: try XChat ;)
[05:45] <scv> that's too bad
[05:46] <Lunar_Lamp> Is it possible to control how much CPU a screensaver will use? That is, limit it so that when the screensaver is running it will never use more than 50% of the CPU (for example) as some of the cool screensavers stress my CPU quite a lot, which is kinda silly as otherwise it would be just idling.
[05:46] <hellmet> hellmet is trying to figure out beryl
[05:46] <soundray> JackOfSpades: I think that grub might be seeing your /dev/hda1 as (hd0,0). Drop to the grub shell (hit 'c' at the boot menu) and run geometry (hd0), geometry (hd1) etc. to identify your grub disk names.
[05:46] <unop> andy,  ohh, no idea -- i'm a VIM fan, hate emacs :)
[05:46] <bluefox83> carbine, are you using mirc in wine?
[05:46] <MacLinuxMaster> soundray: It's like the ide channels became locked. Its a very strange problem
[05:46] <andy> unop, ah ok, thought you recommended emacs ;)
[05:46] <carbine> Ahh
[05:46] <carbine> I'm unregistered. =P
[05:46] <scv> what's wine?
[05:46] <Luk0r> carbine: sudo apt-get install xchat
[05:47] <Pici> 11:46 <carbine> God.. IRC hates me.. All of it.

[05:55] <Luk0r> carbine_: no problem
[05:55] <soundray> unop: I had a reason for suggesting it my way
[05:55] <Zaggynl> metal03, okay, well I'm not that experienced with OO, can't help you further I'm afraid :(
[05:56] <numist> scv: it can be, but doesnt have to be.  usually yes
[05:56] <hellmet> Jowi: Where do I add 'composite' in xorg.conf
[05:56] <ducky> m_o_k: I haven't tried swiftfox.
[05:56] <scv> numist, how much is the performance gain?
[05:56] <soundray> scv: it depends on 'app'. If it's transcode, then yes
[05:56] <soundray> unop: stop trying to outsmart me ;)
[05:56] <unop> soundray,  i was just simplifying it :)
[05:56] <m_o_k> ducky, it's  still firefox :d
[05:56] <numist> scv: I'm measuring in cycles/cpu time to completion of program
[05:56] <hellmet> jowi: Like after which line..
[05:56] <numist> scv: what soundray said
[05:56] <unop> soundray,  ohh no, now why would you think i was doin' that, eh? :>
[05:57] <steel_lady> unop, soundray, It removed garbage but I still have the 'trash inside' icon
[05:57] <ducky> m_o_k: okay, well, what install process?
[05:57] <soundray> unop: did you notice I asked her to use sudo?
[05:57] <JackOfSpades> soundray: I just found this link explainging a possible cause, althougt this is for suse, is there a ubuntu solution? because there are no lba settings for sata disks in the bios. Link: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB%3AWindows_No_Longer_Boots_Following_the_Installation_of_SUSE_LINUX_9.1
[05:57] <Tido`> is there any e-mail servers for *nix that rival M$ Exchange?
[05:57] <scv> numist, 1GB ram amd64 v.s 4GB ram amd32?
[05:57] <Jowi> hellmet, at the end. have a look here and see the "Enable compositing in X" headline and only do what's written for "Intel" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[05:57] <unop> soundray,  did you notice i suggested sudo on my implementation of your command? :)
[05:57] <roler> I have a problem with my WinXP and Ubuntu partitions. When I boot between the two, the clock changes drastically. It will be 3 or 4 hours off. Both are set to the same time zone. What gives?
[05:57] <metal03> Anyone got exprience with Open Office?
[05:57] <numist> scv: I'd go amd64..  as long as you dont need the RAM (most systems wouldnt if you were running linux)
[05:58] <m_o_k> ducky, i got automatix 2 started it, installed swiftfox+plugins and then all things run out of the box
[05:58] <unop> soundray,  but again, there's no need to sudo that, all the files in her trash would be hers alone
[05:58] <Rumpa> metal03, what about ooffice?
[05:58] <hellmet> Jowi: I also get this when I typed ur command  :  libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[05:58] <soundray> JackOfSpades: I've been thinking along those lines
[05:58] <unop> steel_lady,  but are there any files in trash now?
[05:58] <numist> scv: if you really use 4GB of ram, and you aren't in research, you ought to rethink your algorithms
[05:58] <JackOfSpades> k
[05:58] <soundray> unop: why, then, wouldn't she be able to delete them?
[05:58] <scv> numist, the 90% apps need ram
[05:58] <metal03> Rumpa: I'm trying to make the spellcheck work in french...  and I'm unable to
[05:58] <steel_lady> unop, it is empty
[05:58] <g333k_work> !codecs
[05:58] <mhiku> where can i find tgetent
[05:58] <ubotu> 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
[05:58] <Jowi> hellmet, that is normal. you can ignore that message. 0x5b is not used
[05:59] <phos-phoros>  I'm attempting at mass renaming some files with the naming scheme of "title [some text E = mc] .number.file-extension" to "title.number.file-extension", any tips on how to do this?
[05:59] <unop> steel_lady, what happens if you try and empty trash now?
[05:59] <phos-phoros> in using rename and tab to autocomplete the file name, I get as far as 'rename "title\ \[some\ \text \E \=\ \mc"' only., and not the special character.
[05:59] <steel_lady> unop, no change. I have to go now, be back in 15 min or so
[05:59] <hellmet> Jowi: OK.. will try and inform you in a moment :-)
[06:00] <mhiku> where can i find tgetent?
[06:00] <unop> soundray, it could be anything but permissions -- odd characters in filenames, problems with gnome-vfs , etc -- if other users deleted files, they'd be placed in those user's ~/.Trash directories not hers
[06:00] <Jowi> !find tgetent
[06:01] <ubotu> Package/file tgetent does not exist in edgy
[06:01] <ducky> m_o_k: Trying it now from automatix2.  ;)
[06:01] <soundray> unop: you're making to many assumptions. Just running sudo rm on the directory would be a catch-all for all kinds of troubles. That's why I suggested it. Quick-fix, no extra diagnostics required.

[06:02] <Jowi> mhiku, google is probably the best choice. the file does not seem to be in edgy.
[06:02] <sebwin> newbie question: what's Ubuntu's equivalent of System Profiler on Mac?

[06:02] <sebwin> I want to find out how much memory the machine's got.
[06:02] <unop> soundray,  well fair enough -- but she was in here the otherday complaining she was on a corporate network with no access to sudo , and also, thats inappropriate use of sudo (me thinks) :)
[06:03] <ducky> I've had remarkably good luck with it.
[06:03] <mhiku> yes i know google LOL
[06:03] <Luk0r> Hey, I have i386 ubuntu installed right now on my Athlon64 machine, would it be worth me reinstalling with 64bit?
[06:03] <Yancho> hi, how can i make a folder in /home/yancho/public_html be seen from php please? i dont want to do it for all the usernames just for yancho only. thanks
[06:03] <Luk0r> i wasn't sure about compatability
[06:03] <soundray> phos-phoros: still looking?
[06:04] <Rumpa> metal03, Did it help?
[06:04] <JackOfSpades> brb
[06:04] <JackOfSpades> reboot
[06:04] <fuchs> hi
[06:04] <ducky> Luk0r: my home machine is that, and I am currently setting up Edgy64 for my friend, and it is rather more difficult, but not too bad... I am tempted to try to install it on mine... I don't know how much speed increase I'd see.
[06:04] <unop> Yancho,  check the mod_userdir documentation for apache
[06:04] <Luk0r> ducky: You mean it's difficult to find packages?
[06:04] <leal> Somebody with a DWL-G122 usb wireless adapter?
[06:04] <sebwin> System Profiler, anybody?
[06:05] <sebwin> Linux-dummy want's to know how much memory he's got.
[06:05] <Luk0r> sebwin: tried 'top' in terminal?
[06:05] <ducky> Luk0r: There's a few things that are hard to get working because they aren't available for 64bit, but it's mostly flash, wmv9 as far as I can tell.
[06:06] <unop> Yancho,  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html
[06:06] <Luk0r> ducky: okay, thanks, I think I'll give it a few months then
[06:06] <genii> op please kick Miko-Chan , is some adbot
[06:06] <dyrne> ducky: your friend is aware of some of the issues with 64 right now?
[06:06] <fuchs> I got some problem with booting ubuntu after having it installed.
[06:06] <nikitis> Anyone know VMWare really well?
[06:06] <ducky> Luk0r: Me too probably on my home machine.
[06:06] <john1987> !ro
[06:06] <ubotu> Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro
[06:06] <nikitis> I have a troubleshooting question to ask
[06:07] <fuchs> does not boot anyway - just when using external boot-manager from dvd
[06:07] <ducky> dyrne: Well, yeah he's aware, and I am not going anywhere, so will be around to help in future.
[06:07] <mhiku> which is the latest? ncurses, curses or termcap?
[06:07] <ducky> dyrne: I must admit that I have been tempted several times since last night to just format and put i386 on here.
[06:08] <ducky> dyrne: But it's running really well now, and I have only to get flash and previews for wmv9 files to work and it's perfect.
[06:08] <unop> mhiku,  they're all different software packages doing different things -- and each has new revisions
[06:09] <farski> anyone know of a good tutorial about setting up Ubuntu as a file server?
[06:09] <mhiku> unop: but those packages owns tgetent
[06:09] <unop> !samba | farski

[06:09] <HAL9003> hello guys
[06:09] <HAL9003> any idea how i can stop "resolvconf" to change my /etc/resolv.conf after reboots?
[06:10] <unop> mhiku, what is the absolute path of tgetent?
[06:10] <core123> aclocal: configure.in: 13: macro `AM_PROG_AS' not found in library
[06:10] <Linux_ftw> Can anyone tell me what the system requirments are for alinux 13.8 is?
[06:10] <core123> What to do ? :/
[06:10] <Linux_ftw> 12.8*
[06:10] <farski> ubotu: pretty much going to connecting to the server with OS X machines, should I look into NFS? or stick with SMB?
[06:11] <hellmet> Jowi: Cool.. thanks a TON for that link and your help..
[06:11] <hellmet> It works gud now
[06:11] <mhiku> unop: its only a man page
[06:11] <Jowi> HAL9003, I think you can just remove the DNS request in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[06:11] <mhiku> but definitely important when compiling
[06:11] <unop> HAL9003, well, the usual way is to remove the resolv.conf package -- but that would leave your system borken -- what i find is that you can configure the /etc/resolvconf/* files to append your original resolv.conf to the new one each time it is created
[06:11] <Jowi> hellmet, no problem. :)
[06:12] <hellmet> Jowi: But..hey.. the Panel on TOP vanished...
[06:12] <Jowi> hellmet, no idea about that. I don't use gnome.
[06:12] <unop> mhiku,  i cant seem to find any package by that name or any package containing a file by that name -- as per http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[06:12] <vox754> I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on a desktop PC. The hibernation feature worked perfectly at first. Then, after some use or updates, it doesn't work anymore. Where can I reinstall or repair this. Send me a private message or answer here #vocx
[06:12] <a-l-p-h-a> I have tightvncserver running, however I only get gnome-terminal, how come it doesn't have a full gnome desktop running?  Did I screw something up?
[06:12] <mhiku> yes
[06:12] <hellmet> Jowi: Ohh ok.. I'll look into it. then
[06:13] <sebwin> Luk0r: thanks, that does it, though it's really an activity monitor. I really wanted a hardware info.
[06:13] <mhiku> its a function not a package, and ncurses,curses, termcap have, i dont know which one to use
[06:13] <unop> a-l-p-h-a,  you'll need to edit your ~/.vnc/xstartup file to start the appropriate window manager/desktop environment
[06:14] <grumillo> is it better to pick amd64 or 32bit for a laptop with core 2 duo? thanks
[06:14] <Jowi> hellmet, people in #ubuntu-xgl might have some ideas
[06:14] <Zaggynl> How do I find out the remaining battery time on my laptop?
[06:14] <unop> a-l-p-h-a,  by default tightvnc starts 'twm' because duplicate instances of say gnome or kde could cause problems -- and that they tend to be heavyweight over slow connections
[06:14] <yommb> !ati
[06:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[06:15] <hellmet> Jowi: my desktop looks loverly
[06:15] <ircusr> hi all
[06:16] <Jowi> hellmet, I know that feeling hehe
[06:16] <Yancho> guys where is the apache config file in ubuntu pls ?
[06:16] <bulldogg597> hi, im having some trouble booting from cd with ubuntu 6.06, the bios is all set to cd boot first and it works with other boot cd's but when i boot with the burned ubuntu cd it just goes straight to windows
[06:17] <hellmet> Jowi: Yesterday, I successfully setup VMWARE with CentOS , and today I have Beryl.. I feel on top .. :D
[06:17] <a-l-p-h-a> unop, thanks... looking into it right now
[06:17] <ircusr> really?
[06:17] <edgy> bulldogg597: did you check the md5sum of the cd before burning
[06:17] <freezey> my PHPMyadmin is not working... how can i make this work... everytime i try to access it it prompts me to download a file
[06:17] <ircusr> how did you enable opengl on vmware????
[06:17] <HAL9003> even /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf is reset to a default without any nameserver entries, after reboot. and i see no config file to change that. any ideas?
[06:18] <bulldogg597> @edgy - no and i dont know how to lol, this is my first time with linux
[06:18] <bulldogg597> well ubuntu anyway
[06:18] <farski> if I'm not worrying about windows, what's the way to share files (i.e. with other Unix/Linux PCs)
[06:18] <unop> HAL9003,  can you pastebin the output of this command for me - find /etc/resolvconf
[06:18] <edgy> bulldogg597: after you download the .iso file use a command like $md5sum you-ubuntu-image.iso
[06:18] <defrysk> bulldogg597, probably a bad cd
[06:18] <ircusr> met, how did you manage to run opengl under vmware?
[06:18] <unop> farski,  nfs
[06:19] <HAL9003> unop, why would you need that info?
[06:19] <aitor00> oloa
[06:19] <unop> farski,  or something like FTP or webDAV
[06:19] <ircusr> i can only run apps in ubuntu under vmware in software mode
[06:19] <bulldogg597> @edgy - is this in windows dos?
[06:19] <edgy> bulldogg597: it would give you some numbers that you can compare with the numbers published on the same directory from which u downloaded your file
[06:19] <unop> HAL9003,  because i dont have resolvconf here and forgot which file you need to edit
[06:19] <fuchs> My problem is, that ubuntu does not even try to start, but with a boot manager on cd/dvd ubuntu and/or windows both can be loaded from hdd
[06:19] <bauer77> aitor00: you mean hola?
[06:19] <farski> unop: can I run NFS for local sharing and WebDAV for remote connecting?
[06:19] <edgy> bulldogg597: for windows there is also a program that checks md5sum. just use google to find it
[06:19] <dyrne> HAL9003: im normally lazy and just add cat newfile > /etc/resolv.conf   to one of my /etc/init.d/ scripts
[06:20] <bauer77> cdcheck I think edgy
[06:20] <Zaggynl> How can I control the beeping when my battery on my laptop is running low? It's quite deafening ><
[06:20] <mindstate> how do i find out if i have files/config's that are dead and just taking up space?
[06:20] <bulldogg597> ok ill give that a try thanks
[06:20] <HAL9003> dyrne, yeah. but that does not make sense, that the system changes the resolv.conf on every reboot, and that i override that every time
[06:20] <unop> farski,  sure, good idea actually -- because you'll need to protect external access and webdav is quite good with that
[06:20] <ircusr> can someone help?
[06:20] <ircusr> im trying to run opengl apps under vmware
[06:20] <farski> unop: where should I start to figure this all out?
[06:21] <HAL9003> and i have neither dhcp nor ppp installed
[06:21] <Occasus> hey dudes
[06:21] <ircusr> i can't, they only run in software acceleration, not hardware one
[06:21] <HAL9003> so its pointless
[06:21] <Occasus> anyone suggest a good "movie maker" for linux
[06:21] <unop> HAL9003,  thats because the resolvconf startup script recreates your /etc/resolv.conf on every boot
[06:21] <mindstate> how do i find out if i have files/config's that are dead and just taking up space?
[06:21] <mindstate> how do i find out if i have files/config's that are dead and just taking up space?
[06:21] <LjL> !repeat | mindstate

[06:21] <LjL> mindstate: define "dead"
[06:21] <Jowi> HAL9003, did you check the file I mentioned?
[06:21] <unop> HAL9003,  what happens when you try and remove the resolvconf package?
[06:21] <HAL9003> i do that right now :P
[06:21] <mindstate> LjL: not being used by me and is not a dependency for any other program

[06:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about encryptfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:22] <LjL> mindstate: then apt-get autoremove will remove all packages that were installed automatically (i.e. as dependencies of something else) but no package is using anymore
[06:22] <rockzman> Does anyone know a good program to record to a CD an iso image
[06:23] <piratepenguin> rockzman, gnome-cd-burner..
[06:23] <mindstate> LjL: is that it? cause i've been doing that, and i feel like stuff is getting left behind
[06:23] <piratepenguin> rockzman, right click the ISO in nautilus..
[06:23] <doron> hi, I have 8 computers with the same hardware. I want to install on them the same packages. is there a way to make a one big archive file of these packages ?
[06:23] <unop> !cloning | doron
[06:23] <ubotu> doron: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade"
[06:23] <LjL> mindstate: configuration files are left behind, unless you use the "--purge" option with apt-get. however, it's unlikely that those take up much space
[06:24] <doron> thanks unop !
[06:24] <mindstate> LjL: ah alright, thanks dude, and sorry for the repeat, but i've sat here for 20 minutes before and no response ;0
[06:24] <LjL> mindstate: perhaps you could use deborphan or debfoster to do a more thorough job, but you need to take care (and some time)
[06:24] <mindstate> LjL: thanks :)
[06:25] <HAL9003> okay guys, when i remove the "resolvconf" package, my /etc/resolv.conf is left alone and it seems no other package depends on it
[06:25] <ircusr> can i run beryl in ubuntu under vmware?
[06:25] <ircusr> or will it run slow
[06:25] <Occasus> ircusr: it will run very slow
[06:25] <ircusr> damn
[06:25] <unop> HAL9003,  you should be ok now .. the /etc/resolv.conf should remain unchanged on boot
[06:25] <Occasus> sorry man :P
[06:25] <ircusr> because of the hardware acceleration, right?
[06:26] <vox754> I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on a desktop PC. The hibernation feature worked perfectly at first. Then, after some use or updates, it doesn't work anymore. Where can I reinstall or repair this. Send me a private message or answer here #vocx
[06:26] <Occasus> ircusr: yes becuase of HW accel
[06:26] <LjL> mindstate: remember also that the package files (the .deb files, that is) that you download are not automatically removed, but are left in /var/cache/apt/archives, and you can remove those with apt-get clean
[06:26] <farski> is there an easy way to make my services available locally at something like "Ububtu.local"? Maybe using zeroconf?
[06:26] <ircusr> occassus, is it possible to enable hw accel in vmware?
[06:27] <Occasus> ircusr: no, sorry, it emulates a standard VGA Graphics card
[06:27] <unop> mindstate,  you can also cleanup locale-specific files with the localepurge package
[06:27] <LjL> mindstate: also aptitude *might* (and i say might) have a heavier hand when removing dependencies than apt-get autoremove -- but that'll be useless right now, because for aptitude to manage auto-installed dependencies, one must have used aptitude to install the stuff in the first place
[06:27] <Occasus> ircusr: *generic
[06:27] <ircusr> damn
[06:27] <Occasus> ircusr: why do you want to run ubuntu in vmware anyhow?
[06:28] <dyrne> vox754: maybe you could sudo dpkg-reconfigure hibernate   but then things are rarely that easy.. :)
[06:28] <ircusr> because i dont want to partition my hard drive to install ubuntu on it
[06:28] <ircusr> i have a usb hard drive
[06:28] <Occasus> ircusr: I see, fair point
[06:28] <doron> one more question about cloning ubuntu distro to multiple pc's
[06:28] <Occasus> doron: go for it
[06:28] <doron> I dont have a network connection so I need all the packages
[06:28] <yommb> occasus : it's awesome to have a test version of the os u r running under vmware , that way you can xperiment like hell :)
[06:29] <Occasus> yommb: you're right there
[06:29] <ircusr> yea
[06:29] <doron> is ubuntu saving the deb packages somewhere ?
[06:29] <Joe_CoT> ,
[06:29] <Occasus> doron: /var/apt/cache
[06:29] <ircusr> but i would like to have hw accel in vmware
[06:29] <unop> doron,  you can setup your own local repository with apt-cache (i think)
[06:29] <Occasus> unop, doron, use something called apt-mirror, i set something up like that at my company
[06:29] <Occasus> ircusr: im sorry, they havent implemented that feature ;(
[06:29] <ircusr> is there an emulator that has hw accel?
[06:29] <Occasus> ircusr: dont think s
[06:29] <Occasus> o
[06:29] <ircusr> damn
[06:29] <unop> or apt-proxy would be better
[06:30] <Occasus> unop: never heard of apt-proxy?
[06:30] <ircusr> vmware is the only emulator right?
[06:30] <doron> well, my plan is to stuff it all in a Disk on Key and just plug it one by one and let it install everything
[06:30] <doron> is it possible ?
[06:30] <bulldogg597> ok, on 6.06 there are a few windows open source programs on the cd too, is there any way to just bur the install fiels to the cd
[06:30] <Occasus> ircusr: xen, microsoft virtual machine et cetera
[06:30] <yommb> Occasus , u should try it ; also it can save you tons of time trying to figure out how to install stuff , you dont have to reboot endlessly .. once you figure out how it's done , you do it on your real machine ;)
[06:30] <Occasus> doron, certianly
[06:30] <doron> because we dont have the network gear and we need them all up and running with XGL
[06:30] <bulldogg597> i have all the files in the iso in a folder, which ones need to go on the cd for install
[06:30] <Hausberg> does anyone shine on vmware? I got installation prob
[06:30] <Occasus> yommb: yea the problem is i currenly have two virtual machines running :P
[06:30] <leal> Anyone with problems with iwconfig to set the "essid"??
[06:31] <yommb> I have 2 running & like 10 on my drive :)
[06:31] <unop> Occasus,  basically shares what you download on one machine to a repo so that other machines can use them .. rather than you setting up a list of files to be downloaded seperately (like in apt-mirror)
[06:31] <doron> Occasus: so what do I do ? copy /var/apt/cache and that list of installed packages ?
[06:31] <pbureau> leal, no then again I use network-manager-gnome
[06:31] <Occasus> yommb: my specs are Dualcore 2.4Ghz, 2048mb Ram, 80GB hdd.. its a laptop :-|
[06:31] <genii> Does anyone know why plain old xdm won't install?
[06:31] <Mrulez> what is the topic here
[06:31] <yommb> should run vmware nicely :)
[06:31] <Occasus> unop: apt-mirror just copies an entire repos?
[06:31] <pbureau> Mrulez,  Ubuntu of course
[06:31] <tuxub> is there any IRC channel for ubuntu server related stuff?
[06:31] <PriceChild> Mrulez, support
[06:31] <Mrulez> duhhh
[06:32] <Occasus> doron: loook into setting up apt-mirror, copy the main deb repos to your disk, then you have a complete copy of the repos
[06:32] <unop> Occasus,  i dont think it copies entire repos, does it? just a subset of packages you specify ..
[06:32] <Mrulez> support what
[06:32] <PriceChild> tuxub, this is as good as ever
[06:32] <icheyne> !topic | Mrulez
[06:32] <ubotu> Mrulez: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[06:32] <Occasus> unop: it copies entire repos, i set it up at work :)
[06:32] <doron> Occasus, thanks
[06:32] <pbureau> Mrulez, which part of UBUNTU you dont understand?
[06:32] <Occasus> doron: np
[06:32] <tuxub> can anyone recommend a good URL with a guide to implement a ubuntu based ldap server (optionally with a samba pdc) ?
[06:32] <Mrulez> sorry ive nerer used IRC
[06:32] <Occasus> unop: We use alot of ubuntu machines at work, so i copy the ubuntu main repos every night
[06:32] <genii> no, apt-mirror copies the entire repos. About 31Gb if you have all of them listed
[06:32] <unop> Occasus,  the reason i suggest apt-proxy is .. you only share what you download on the main machine (where apt-proxy runs) .. overall thats time saving and bandwidth considerate
[06:32] <Hausberg> I get following in /tmp/vmware-config1/control-only/make.log ... mkdir /usr/local/man: File exists at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112
[06:32] <Hausberg> make: *** [pure_site_install]  Error 17
[06:33] <Occasus> unop: agreed, but if some machines want diffferent packages its better to have the repo
[06:33] <doron> Occasus, one more thing, how do I get this apt-mirror ? :)
[06:33] <nikitis> Does anyone know how to go from fullscreen to windowed mode using VMWare?
[06:33] <Hausberg> could not find a solution to it but seen somebody asking the same ...
[06:33] <Mrulez> u should see my site www.freewebs.com/mrulez/
[06:33] <Occasus> doron: lol give me 2 sec
[06:33] <icheyne> Mrulez, welcome!
[06:33] <unop> Occasus,  then apt-proxy downloads the ones the other machines need :)
[06:33] <Occasus> unop, true :)
[06:33] <vox754> dyrne: Thanks for trying.
[06:34] <Occasus> unop: we have 100mbit, and i was thinking of becoming an official mirorr
[06:34] <unop> Occasus,  it is by the very definition of a proxy a proxy
[06:34] <Mrulez> really you should see it
[06:34] <leal> pbureau: thanks, i will try it.
[06:34] <pbureau> Mrulez, and your site is about ? (I just hate clicking on unknown web links that will poop all over me with porn stuff)

[06:35] <bulldogg597> which files on the unubtu 6.06 iso are needed for the install from cd
[06:35] <Mrulez> ok whell i made atheme
[06:35] <Occasus> unop: it's possible, still gota speak to management *sigh*
[06:35] <ircusr> i hope it does
[06:35] <bulldogg597> i wish to have just the install files on a cd without the extra software

[06:35] <Yancho> this is my config atm .. http://www.pastebin.ca/344280 but it is still not allowing me to read a .php file from my /home/yancho/public_html :(
[06:36] <genii> saftsack Yes you can install without X from the server CD for instance. Then do something like apt-get install ubuntu-dekstop  or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop
[06:36] <unop> Yancho,  i think you need to set /home/yancho/public_html to be execCGI for a .php file in that location to be executale
[06:36] <Mrulez> whe i first got ubuntu i thought it was as dumb as fuck but now i like it
[06:36] <unop> s/executale/executable/

[06:39] <unop> Yancho,  edit the site config file and for the location directive of  /home/yancho/public_html (create one if it doesnt already exist) set the execcgi option in it
[06:39] <pbureau> Mrulez,  then why are you hanging in a LINUX chat room ?
[06:39] <lilgeekshop> Who do I talk to for ubuntu support for my website???

[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask lilgeekshop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:40] <ircusr> i use it all the time

[06:40] <a-l-p-h-a> with tightvnc, I just add to ~/.vnc/xstartup at the end of the file "gnome-session".  Now I get an error message about dbus-deamon.  Anyone know what this is?
[06:40] <ircusr> to swich back and forth
[06:40] <genii> saftsack no, not from the regular CD. Only from the alternate or the server cds
[06:40] <nikitis> ircusr, it's not working from fullscreen to window
[06:40] <ircusr> weird
[06:41] <nikitis> hmm
[06:41] <saftsack> is this just a script what is missing or more? (i have ssh to the machine)
[06:41] <nikitis> ircusr, if I just push ctrl+alt though, it does
[06:41] <nikitis> ircusr, thanks, i wouldn't have figured that out
[06:41] <Mrulez> what is up with u
[06:42] <lilgeekshop> I'm starting up a business and want the ubuntu community to help support my selling of Linux products and wanted to know the right channels to go thru..
[06:42] <genii> saftsack It is the entire installation backend, not just some missing script
[06:42] <Mrulez> i remember linux
[06:42] <PriceChild> lilgeekshop, What support do you need?

[06:47] <scratchme> How do you create a floppy image file of unusual size, like the 1772KB ones or 2.88MB ones?
[06:47] <scratchme> Assuming you don't have the media, but you want to make a blank image file.
[06:47] <cyzie> just curious if the laptop/desktos has RAM >=1GB, is it adviceable to install the stock kernel with bigmem support? and why is it so ?
[06:48] <Hausberg> can someone help with vmware installation?
[06:48] <unop> scratchme,  you want to create an image of a floppy drive when the media doesnt exist?? can you please explain that again?
[06:48] <lilgeekshop> Yea I got a application and filled it out for the partner....but I was tring to put free help and video plus podcasting for linux users...kinda like a full linux media place...
[06:48] <PriceChild> Hausberg, are you installing from source? or ubuntu's repos?
[06:48] <genii> cyzie Only if you are over 4Gb
[06:48] <Hausberg> from source
[06:48] <lilgeekshop> for newbies and what not
[06:48] <metal03> Hi there ppl, anyone know the program Antidote (french spelling corrector)
[06:48] <Hausberg> Pricechild is it also in repo?
[06:48] <Urthmover> hello all
[06:49] <jughead> I'm very new to networking and I have a computer running ubuntu 6.10.  I would like to know what program I need to get to run commands on the computer if there is no monitor or keyboard plugged into it.
[06:49] <scratchme> unop: Basically I need an image file like the ones you would dd over to a floppy, but for a blank media.
[06:49] <scratchme> (like unformatted floppy)
[06:49] <Urthmover> what is the process to enable the mic on this HP omnibook laptop (Edgey)
[06:49] <Urthmover> :-)
[06:50] <unop> scratchme,  i dont think i follow -- you have a blank floppy and you want to write an image to it?? is that it?
[06:50] <genii> cyzie The stock i386-based kernel cann address up to 4Gb but after that you need the bigmem support
[06:50] <PriceChild> Hausberg, I think player is in the edgy repo and I "should" advise you to install from there,  but secretly #I'd still advise installing from vmware.com tarballs personally.
[06:50] <Urthmover> does anyone know how to enable a mic on ubuntu if it wasn't detected on install?
[06:50] <warriorf1rgod> I am running vsftpd and it is working except it is sharing my entire root folder.  What config file do I modify to change this?
[06:50] <PriceChild> Urthmover, depends on the make/model of the mic?
[06:50] <Urthmover> hmm
[06:50] <unop> warriorf1rgod,  the vsftpd.conf file
[06:51] <cyzie> genii, yea.. i know that but have read an article saying if you have RAM >=768MB, get bigmem .. im wondering why he make that statements. maybe there is reason behind but i like to know
[06:51] <Hausberg> PriceChild what is the difference between player and server?
[06:51] <Mrulez> how do u get a psp to work on ubuntu
[06:51] <Urthmover> ok well once I find that out on the HP.com specs site...whats next?  (googling away for the make.model)
[06:51] <warriorf1rgod> unop: What specifically am I looking for in the config?
[06:51] <PriceChild> Hausberg, player only lets you use images... server gives you a lot of advanced things to create them etc.
[06:52] <PriceChild> Mrulez, it should be detected as a flash drive when you plug it in afaik
[06:52] <White_Lightning> what's the difference between a metacity and a GTK theme?
[06:52] <Hausberg> PriceChild, I assume I want server, anyway I started with tarball and got some funny error
[06:52] <pbureau> PriceChild, unless it using MTD then its an complete other ballpark
[06:52] <Mrulez> Afaik?
[06:52] <White_Lightning> !metacity
[06:52] <unop> warriorf1rgod,  errm, i dont remember the exact name of the directive in there -- the manpage of vsftd should tell you -- man vsftpd/vsftp.conf
[06:52] <genii> cyzie Offhand I dunno. But I would guess memory allocation may be handled somewhat more efficiently
[06:52] <ubotu> metacity: A lightweight GTK2 based Window Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.16.3-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 385 kB, installed size 764 kB
[06:52] <warriorf1rgod> ok thx.
[06:52] <Pici> White_Lightning: metacity is just the window borders, gtk provides the buttons and other window decorations
[06:52] <PriceChild> White_Lightning, I may be wrong... but metacity is window borders wheras gtk is the insides
[06:52] <jenda> Mrulez: afaik = as far as I know
[06:52] <PriceChild> White_Lightning, yeah judging by that factoid i'm wrong :P
[06:53] <luiX_> hi
[06:53] <luiX_> anyone who knows how to set up the fans?
[06:53] <White_Lightning> that's what I thought, so would I be right in saying that it seems most GTK themes have metacity themes imbedded in them? or at least part of them. because changing GTK themes ususally changes the window along with it
[06:53] <PriceChild> luiX_, what needs setting up?
[06:53] <Hausberg> PriceChild in the log I have mkdir /usr/local/man: File exists at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112 I can't find anything like this anywhere?
[06:53] <Mrulez> i still dont get it it works with windows
[06:53] <amortvigil> hey i just installed new samba updates it returned an error are there more with this error?
[06:53] <Yancho> http://yancho.no-ip.org/~yancho/info.php anyone know how i can fix this please? http://www.pastebin.ca/344309 is my current conf file
[06:53] <Psycou> 1038?
[06:53] <Psycou> -.-
[06:53] <defouled> When is the next release of ubuntu coming out
[06:53] <unop> I think the gtk themese correspond to icons, decorations for button, drop down menus, etc
[06:54] <genii> White_Lightning: Metacity is a window manager based on gtk2 . a gtk theme is a skin you apply to a gtk based window manager
[06:54] <cyzie> genii, that comes to my mind first too after read his statement. but i guess the bigmem means if you have more than 4GB of RAM, then in order for the kernel to utilize the memroy space, then you need to install with bigmem support.
[06:54] <Pici> White_Lightning: the themes control panel in Gnome changes both the gtk and the metacity theme, if you go into Edit theme, you can choose the specifics
[06:54] <luiX_> PriceChild, need something to control the fan's speed and to show the state of the fan
[06:54] <PriceChild> Hausberg, I'm sorry I don't understand the question or what you're doing... :)

[06:59] <Kajin> Is there a way to use the additional button on my Logitech G7 mouse and map it to something in Beryl, like rotating my Desktop Cube?
[06:59] <luiX_> i'll take a look right now
[06:59] <luiX_> thanks
[06:59] <Mrulez> whats rong my friend did the same thing and i didn't work and his is brand new
[07:00] <saftsack> genii, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, or what?
[07:00] <PriceChild> Mrulez, I'm afraid I don't have a psp with me so you'll have to wait to see if there's someone else with one that could help you
[07:00] <luiX_> PriceChild, i've missed something between step2 and 3, where do you run the script?
[07:00] <Mrulez> all right
[07:00] <unop> Kajin,  if there is a command to "rotate the desktop cube" .. its possible to bind a key-stroke/mouse-button to that command
[07:00] <genii> saftsack Yes, for Gnome. If you want KDE then kubuntu-desktop. If you want xfce then xubuntu-desktop
[07:00] <irishboxer> anyone help a newbie with repository probs.
[07:00] <PriceChild> luiX_, is this sensors?

[07:01] <Vuen> hey guys, what's a command line utility to edit xml files?
[07:01] <cyzie>  genii yea.
[07:01] <luiX_> Mrulez, ubuntu autodetects and automounts a psp perfectly
[07:01] <luiX_> just plug it in and selecto de usb option in the psp menu
[07:01] <Vuen> i should say, to edit xml files in a non-interactive way
[07:01] <unop> Vuen,  any plain-text editor will do
[07:01] <Kajin> unop: There is, I used my scrollwheel-button to rotate it before, but I'm not sure if the Logitech mouse's additional button is recongnized on Ubuntu Edgy, since it doesn't appear to do anything.
[07:01] <Vuen> i want to do it in a script.
[07:01] <PriceChild> luiX_, thanks for the clarification, I was sure it did ( Mrulez )
[07:01] <Kajin> unop: Is there a way to read the output when I press it in some program?
[07:02] <unop> Kajin,  detect the mouse-button press?
[07:02] <genii> Run it from a console/terminal
[07:02] <luiX_> woa, a lot of lag, i'm going through a ssh tunnel
[07:02] <luiX_> :(
[07:02] <Kajin> unop: Would that be possible?
[07:02] <irishboxer> I can't install any progs from synaptic, add-remove or apt-get. in synaptic it tells me my repos may not be activated or installed
[07:02] <unop> Vuen,  you want to edit a xml file from a script?
[07:02] <luiX_> PriceChild, what sensors?
[07:02] <Mrulez> mabey its my psp its umd doesn't wor anyway
[07:02] <Zan> No one knows about that IPC thing?
[07:02] <unop> Kajin,  sure -- check out !xbindkeys
[07:02] <Vuen> unop: yeah
[07:02] <Kajin> !xbindkeys

[07:03] <luiX_> PriceChild, i mean, the how-to tells nothing about getting the source, but step2 sais to run that script on the souce folder
[07:03] <luiX_> xDD

[07:03] <ubotu> evilwm: a minimalist window manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.21-1 (edgy), package size 25 kB, installed size 104 kB
[07:03] <PriceChild> luiX_, is this the lm-sensors howto?
[07:03] <luiX_> yep
[07:03] <luiX_> the one you gave to me
[07:03] <unop> Vuen,  why not get the script to create the xml file --  a contrived example - echo "<xml> .. </xml>" > xml-file.xml
[07:03] <Kajin> Mrulez: When I connect my PSP trough USB it immediately gets recongnized as external media.
[07:04] <Vuen> unop: unfortunately it's an xml file that already exists.
[07:04] <Kajin> Mrulez: Have you tried a cardreader instead of your PSP trough USB?
[07:04] <Vuen> unop: i'm going to look into editing it with sed.
[07:04] <Mrulez> i do have an extremely old version on my psp and of ubuntu
[07:04] <Mrulez> no
[07:04] <PriceChild> luiX_, ah don't worry about that... just run the script as suggested :)
[07:04] <unop> Vuen, yes, if "changing" the contents of the file is what you are after
[07:05] <luiX_> PriceChild, ....i don't know what is suggested
[07:05] <PriceChild> luiX_, copy the text into a file, make it executable and then run it
[07:05] <luiX_> PriceChild, it sais to run it in the source but the 1st step sais to install it from apt
[07:05] <Kajin> Mrulez: I've connected my PSP (version doesn't really matter) succesfully trough USB in Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10.
[07:05] <PriceChild> luiX_, just do the second bit in your home dir
[07:06] <luiX_> so, where's the source?
[07:06] <luiX_> anywhere?
[07:06] <PriceChild> luiX_, don't worry about that bit
[07:06] <Thuggles> I backed up an ISO before I installed ubuntu. I just got it back and all of the files and folders in the iso appear to have been renamed with a bunch of underscores
[07:06] <luiX_> PriceChild, ok, i know what it does, and it was the problem i had (i guess)
[07:06] <luiX_> thank
[07:06] <Mrulez> i dont now wat my version is but i got it in 2001
[07:06] <PriceChild> luiX_, it worked fine for me...
[07:07] <irishboxer> PriceChild: I can't install any progs from synaptic, add-remove or apt-get. in synaptic it tells me my repos may not be activated or installed
[07:07] <gil> hi, peoples!
[07:08] <PriceChild> irishboxer, could you pastebin the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[07:08] <mike-ekim> im havin a problem with my sound
[07:08] <mike-ekim> xmms plays, but i hear no output
[07:08] <PriceChild> !sound | mike-ekim
[07:08] <ubotu> mike-ekim: 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
[07:08] <mike-ekim> can someone help me troubleshoot
[07:08] <Urthmover> pricechild is there a way to look at the mic device to get the label?  kinda like a Plug n play label?
[07:08] <kyng> buenas tardes
[07:08] <Urthmover> I can't find anything telling me what the make/model of the mic put in this thing
[07:09] <Kajin> Mrulez: Do a 'uname -a' in a terminal.
[07:09] <soundray> Thuggles: do you mean that *all* the characters in the filenames have been replaced, or only some of them?
[07:09] <Kajin> Mrulez: What does it say after Linux?
[07:09] <mike-ekim> sudo apt-get install alsa-oss slsaplayer mpg321
[07:09] <mike-ekim> woops
[07:09] <irishboxer> PriceChild: sorry, but how do you pastbin?
[07:10] <Mrulez> it works!!!!!!!!!!
[07:10] <PriceChild> !paste | IRCAr753
[07:10] <ubotu> IRCAr753: 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)
[07:10] <PriceChild> whoops sorry
[07:10] <Kajin> Mrulez: Ah, awesome. :D
[07:10] <PriceChild> irishboxer, ^^^
[07:10] <Mrulez> accually i just fixed the umd drive buttt
[07:11] <Urthmover> pricechild will the device manager give me any information to figure out what the model of mic put in by hp?
[07:11] <Thuggles> All, soundray
[07:11] <PriceChild> Urthmover, "lspci" maybe?
[07:11] <PriceChild> Urthmover, I'm not an expert at this sorry
[07:11] <Urthmover> np
[07:12] <soundray> Thuggles: have you mounted it in ubuntu?
[07:12] <Urthmover> googling lspci
[07:12] <anirban> Hi my nvidia driver is not wokring after doing apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[07:12] <unop> Urthmover, what kind of mic is this? plain old analogue one with a jack?
[07:12] <PriceChild> Urthmover, no just type lspci
[07:13] <PriceChild> Urthmover, usually gives idents of I dunno... ignore me!!! :)
[07:13] <Urthmover> unop....it is the one built-in to this HP notebook (omnibook xe3-gc)
[07:13] <Urthmover> the sound is a ESS allegro I believe
[07:13] <soundray> Urthmover: microphones aren't usually identifiable devices.
[07:13] <unop> Urthmover,  try lspci and lshw -- the gnome-sound-properties utility might already know about it too
[07:13] <Urthmover> agreed soundray
[07:14] <Urthmover> ok....looking soundray / unop
[07:14] <PriceChild> unop, wooo I was ont he right track! :)
[07:14] <Mrulez> ahh now it is showing up on my computer
[07:14] <qatsi> hello everyone !
[07:14] <andihit> hi
[07:14] <PriceChild> !hi qatsi
[07:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hi qatsi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:15] <PriceChild> whoops
[07:15] <PriceChild> !hi | qatsi
[07:15] <ubotu> qatsi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:15] <PriceChild> :)
[07:15] <qatsi> :D hehe
[07:15] <genii> !botsnack
[07:15] <ubotu> Yum!
[07:15] <mindstate> haha
[07:15] <unop> PriceChild, arent you always on the right track? :> you are in #ubuntu after all :)
[07:15] <Urthmover> no dice...lshw  does not identify a micraphone
[07:15] <genii> The ubotu needs sustenance for good work now and then :)
[07:15] <Mrulez> can't touch this nanananaaaaaaaaaaaa can't touch this
[07:15] <Urthmover> -o
[07:15] <andihit> does anybody knows if there is a workaround for the amd64 - mysql-server - bug?
[07:16] <qatsi> I'm trying to enable BigDesktop in the Xorg.conf, and...well everything works great as long as i startx as root, if i do it as a normal user, i just have the images mirrored. Why could that be? thank you :)
[07:16] <soundray> andihit: what bug is that?
[07:16] <Urthmover> unop / soundray    I'm really at a loss to know what to do next
[07:16] <irishboxer> Pricechild here is the pastebin. Sorry. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4602/
[07:16] <Urthmover> I just want skype....grrr
[07:16] <totall_6_7> can anyone tell me what doing: cd // in terminal is getting me ?
[07:16] <unop> Urthmover,  did you try the gnome-sound-properties util?
[07:16] <PriceChild> IRCAr753, that looks perfectly fine. Could you please explain further on what you're doing and what its telling you?
[07:16] <PriceChild> whoops
[07:16] <Urthmover> lemme try again unop...thx
[07:17] <PriceChild> irishboxer, that was meant for you again
[07:17] <Pici> totall_6_7: it should give you your root directory /
[07:17] <andihit> soundray, it's more an gcc bug - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/edgy/+source/gcc-4.1/+bug/66702
[07:17] <qatsi> anyone with the xorg.conf thing ?
[07:17] <totall_6_7> ahhhhh yeah thanks Pici
[07:18] <Kajin> unop: When I do a xbindkeys -k I get the little box, but it doesn't respond to any mousebuttons being clicked inside it, only keys on the keyboard.
[07:18] <PriceChild> qatsi, ?
[07:18] <Dimensions> hiya .... i have a script to copy data automatically from flash drive when we insert it ... my question is does all usb flash drive in ubuntu get mounted to /media and does all of them have the name as /media/usbdisk ???
[07:18] <Urthmover> unop / soundray   what is a good sound recording app (default preferably)  that I can testif its working?
[07:18] <Urthmover> lol
[07:18] <unop> Kajin,  hmm, how about when you launch  it like this - xbindkeys -mk
[07:18] <Urthmover> nvrmnd
[07:18] <Urthmover> soundrecorder
[07:18] <qatsi> PriceChild: i have BigDesktop enabled in the xorg.conf and it only works if i startx as root, not with a normal user...why is that and how do i enable it for the users?
[07:18] <unop> Urthmover,  :)
[07:19] <Kajin> unop: Still nothing.
[07:19] <unop> qatsi,  does startx complain when you start it under a normal user? any error messages or the like?
[07:19] <unop> Kajin,  let me try this -- one sec
[07:19] <soundray> andihit: well, from the discussion I reckon the workaround is to swap your Intel board and CPU for an AMD one...
[07:20] <qatsi> unop: no, nothing, it just starts gnome with the mirrored image, not the dual monitor thing...
[07:20] <irishboxer> PriceChild here is another pastebin of an error I got when trying to download xine. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4603/
[07:20] <merkidemis> Does anyone know how to disable the Shift-Backspace shortcut key to log out?
[07:20] <andihit> but i won't by a amd cpu only for the mysql thing ;)
[07:20] <andihit> amd64 is generic, so it should work with intel too ;)
[07:21] <PriceChild> merkidemis, that's xgl isn't it... support in #ubuntu-effects
[07:21] <merkidemis> ok, I'll try there
[07:21] <PriceChild> irishboxer, can you "ping 195.248.90.35" ?
[07:21] <soundray> andihit: I have a Xeon machine with feisty. Would you like me to install and test mysql on it?
[07:22] <PriceChild> irishboxer, I've got to step out for a few minutes sorry
[07:22] <soundray> andihit: I'd only do it if upgrading to feisty was an option for you.
[07:22] <unop> Kajin,  xbindkeys -k - seems to work for me if i click inside the box -- lists sequences like this http://pastebin.ca/344353
[07:23] <irishboxer> Sorry I know how to ping in dos but not in the terminal can someone help?
[07:23] <andihit> to hurd 3? hm.. it's a desktop-system (no server), i've heard that it's not so stable
[07:23] <unop> irishboxer,  simply type - ping hostname/ip.add.re.ss
[07:23] <Kajin> unop: How odd.
[07:23] <unop> irishboxer,  to stop press ctrl+c
[07:23] <unop> Kajin,  do you not get that too?
[07:24] <genii> irishboxer just: ping some.url.here    (or use an IP)   then  ctrl-C  to halt the stream
[07:24] <Urthmover> unop/soundray "sound recorder" says "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."   I have tried changing the Prefs > Sound > ALSA, OSS, Allegro      none of them work
[07:24] <Urthmover> :-(
[07:24] <lgc> ardchoille, Hi!
[07:24] <Zan> How do I remove a package (oss-linux from opensound) that failed to install and now requires reinstall but fails allways, no matter what I do?
[07:24] <billybob> Hello, I was wondering, if anyone would know, what speeds (reads / writes) I should expect to get using Samba on GbE ? (Edgy)
[07:24] <soundray> Urthmover: does your 'groups' output contain 'audio'?
[07:24] <Kajin> unop: I don't get anything, for some reason.
[07:25] <Urthmover> I DO have working audio
[07:25] <unop> Kajin,  and you are sure you are clicking within the confines of the whitebox that appears?
[07:25] <soundray> Urthmover: does your 'groups' output contain 'audio'?
[07:25] <Urthmover> the test sound even works under the audio capture part
[07:25] <Urthmover> how do I check that soundray?
[07:25] <soundray> Urthmover: enter 'groups
[07:25] <soundray> ' in terminal
[07:25] <Kajin> unop: Yeah.
[07:26] <irishboxer> what would I put as the hostname for PriceChilds ping
[07:26] <Urthmover> yes groups DOES have audio in it
[07:26] <Kajin> unop: Also, I don't get any results, unless I do right-click and the logitech-button at the same time.
[07:26] <Kajin> unop: Resulting in b:8
[07:26] <soundray> billybob: 20 to 30 megabytes per second
[07:26] <lgc> I don't know what "puctuation" in aptitude, before the "Do you accept this solution?" question is. Is anyone familiar with this? Thanks.
[07:26] <unop> Kajin,  it probably has to be something with the mouse you are using now
[07:27] <trg> hello everybody
[07:27] <billybob> soundray: so ~35MB/s-45MB/s is good ?
[07:27] <soundray> billybob: excellent
[07:27] <Urthmover> yep billybob
[07:27] <unop> Kajin, how does a key-stroke/mouse-button-press combination do?
[07:27] <billybob> reads are slower though
[07:27] <Urthmover> soundray  any other suggestions?
[07:27] <Urthmover> or unop
[07:27] <soundray> Urthmover: have you gone through the wiki suggestions on sound?
[07:28] <soundray> !sound > Urthmover
[07:28] <Kajin> unop: I tried a letter when holding down the logitech key, but it simply gave me the same result as if I would press the letter normally.
[07:28] <unop> Urthmover,  errm, not really .. have you tested sound-capture in gnome-sound-properties, does the test pass?
[07:28] <trg> can someone tell me if i install ubuntu across 2 hard drives if each drive needs a swap partition?
[07:28] <lgc> Anyone knows about dependency solving in aptitude?
[07:28] <soundray> trg: no, it doesn't
[07:28] <billybob> soundray: anything I could do to possibly improve that ? Ive adjusted log level, socket option (till im blue in the face).
[07:28] <zyth> trg, I have one drive as / and one drive as /home, and it works fine with only 1 swap part ;)
[07:28] <trg> so it can make use of one swap on the main drive?
[07:28] <unop> Kajin, yea, looks like your mouse is the source of the problem -- i dunno what to suggest :(
[07:29] <trg> excellent thanks for the reply
[07:29] <zyth> trg, yep.
[07:29] <unop> lgc,  well, are you reading what aptitude is suggesting to you before that prompt there?
[07:29] <trg> thank you
[07:29] <soundray> billybob: I don't think there would be much upside.
[07:29] <Kajin> unop: Ah, alright. Thanks anyway!
[07:29] <Urthmover> yes unop  I have been testing using sound recorder......and changing the cature (in gnome properties)  to each of the different selections   ALSA, OSS, Allegro     the test sound DOES pass and I do hear something
[07:29] <Urthmover> I know that the mic does work...it worked in windoze
[07:29] <lgc> unop, yes, it says it'll keep such and such packages. And then the punctuation (-43).
[07:30] <billybob> soundray: I dont know, maybe im just expecting too much, I am the constant tinkerer
[07:30] <unop> Kajin,  you could try messing about in the gnome-mouse-properties util to get ubuntu to detect the mouse differently, just a jab-in-the-dark
[07:30] <soundray> billybob: are your GigE cards on PCI? Maybe if you swap them for PCIe or PCI-X cards...
[07:31] <Kajin> unop: I'll give it a shot.
[07:31] <billybob> soundray: Intel pro1000 PT (PCIE) WinXP / Onboard RTL8169 Edgy
[07:32] <unop> lgc, the higher the score aptitude calculates, the better the solution suited for you -- but dont pay much attention to that, do or dont you accept the suggestion it is giving you, thats what matters
[07:32] <Fedge> Can someone give me a hand with xorg.conf?
[07:32] <billybob> soundray: MTU == 9000 on Edgy 9014 bytes on XP
[07:33] <lgc> unop, thanks. I wanted to know just that...:).
[07:33] <Fedge> X won't start up, and I've been editing my xorg.conf to no avail
[07:33] <unop> Urthmover,  errm, i dunno what else you could do -- maybe sound-recorder has a way to bypass alsa/oss/allegro and get to the input device directly
[07:34] <Urthmover> well I'll keep digging with google and the wiki
[07:34] <Urthmover> thanks for trying guys
[07:34] <soundray> billybob: ask yourself  whether the time you spend tinkering will ever be compensated by faster transfers
[07:34] <MonsieurBon> hello
[07:34] <Urthmover> no skype/soup for me
[07:34] <billybob> soundray: that seems to be the common responce in the Linux community ;)
[07:34] <MonsieurBon> anyone here knows devilspie? I try to move thunderbird to desktop one. Syntax is correct. It doesn't work though. Tried with different application names already!
[07:34] <unop> Fedge,  log on as root -- sudo -s .. then type these commands out -- X -configure; X -config /root/xorg.conf .. if you get the grid and mouse displayed .. press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to return to the console, let us know what happens then
[07:35] <core123> I'm trying to install E17. Now the configure says me that libmpd is not found, but libmpd and libmpd-dev is installed, what wrong ? :/
[07:36] <_Archangel> can you guys help me with setting up sshd ?
[07:36] <Fedge> unop: will do, thanks
[07:36] <core123> _Archangel, apt-get install openssh-server
[07:36] <billybob> apt-get install openssh-server ?
[07:36] <_Archangel> must not have the reposotiry selected or something, says it can't fin package sshd
[07:36] <core123> apt-get update
[07:36] <unop> _Archangel,  sshd != openssh-server :)
[07:36] <dyrne> anyone know if there is a limit on io in linux. like solaris i run into the 256 limit sometimes.. sry for not google'n it but i cant seem to find the anserwer
[07:36] <billybob> _Archangel: apt-get update (after setting up source.list)
[07:37] <unop> dyrne,  ulimit maybe?
[07:37] <soundray> MonsieurBon: you could try to feed the window id to devilspie. Find it out with 'xwininfo -root -children | grep -i thunderbird'
[07:37] <_Archangel> ok newest version, so i need to strat it ?
[07:37] <_Archangel> start*
[07:37] <lgc> unop, why is it that, if I do 'aptitude dist-upgrade' again I get an even lower punctuation?
[07:38] <MonsieurBon> soundray: is that always the same?
[07:38] <Kajin> unop: I got it to work with xev. :D
[07:38] <soundray> MonsieurBon: no, that's why you have to use xwininfo
[07:38] <Spinnaker> I'm installing 32-bit chroot!
[07:38] <Spinnaker> buah
[07:38] <unop> Kajin,  interesting .. hmm well, good for you :D
[07:38] <Kajin> unop: xev told me that the button number was 8, just like xbindinfo said when I did it together with the right-click.
[07:38] <MonsieurBon> ah, ok! :)
[07:38] <_Archangel> /etc/init.d/sshd start ?
[07:38] <MonsieurBon> soundray: don't know it that works...
[07:38] <Fedge> unop: after running X -configure, i get "Xorg is not able to detect your mouse"
[07:38] <Kajin> unop: So I just enter Button8 in the Beryl settings and it worked.
[07:38] <hitammanis> How can I uninstall grub on a usb flash drive
[07:38] <Kajin> unop: Thanks for your help!
[07:38] <unop> lgc,  things could have changed since you last ran the same command
[07:39] <unop> Kajin,  you're welcome :)
[07:39] <lgc> unop, I just did, nothing changed except for what aptitude did itself.
[07:39] <unop> Fedge,  hmm, is it a non-standard mouse ?
[07:39] <Fedge> unop: running the second command does produce the grid, however
[07:40] <Fedge> i've got a standard PS/2 mouse plugged in
[07:40] <Fedge> also have a pretty generic USB mouse
[07:40] <unop> lgc, well,  again, dont pay too much attention to the score, its not important really
[07:40] <r3m0t> I am using WG111v1 on 32-bit Edgy using ndiswrapper. My computer hangs (and doesn't respond to pings) regularly after I start browsing through wireless. the ethernet connection works. any suggestions?
[07:40] <core123> I'm trying to install E17. Now the configure says me that libmpd is not found, but libmpd and libmpd-dev is installed, what wrong ? :/
[07:41] <lgc> unop, what I would expect is that the working of aptitude is self-consistent, meaning by that that if I do "aptitude dist-upgrade" repeatedly, I will soon arrive at a point where nothing has to be done.
[07:41] <unop> Fedge,  does the mouse work when the grid comes up?
[07:41] <Fedge> yes
[07:41] <Vuen> hey guys, how do i figure out within a script whether the user is using kde?
[07:42] <dyrne> unop: ulimit -a  gave me the answer i think. thx
[07:42] <Urthmover> parse dmesg or something Vuen
[07:42] <lgc> unop, I get that gnome-app-install is not empty and will not be removed (as it should, as was diagnosed by aptitude).
[07:43] <porsche911turbo> does ubuntu dapper support intel p4 hyperthreading?
[07:43] <unop> Fedge,  i should think it is safe to copy the /root/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (after backing up the orginal) and try restarting X
[07:43] <Fedge> unop: ok, i'll give that a shot
[07:43] <scratchme> If there were 1-2 books you could recommend for ubuntu/linux newbs who want to get do things like recompile their kernel, and create a small distro w/ just a kernel, and a few services from scratch, what would you recommend?
[07:43] <billybob> soundray: anyhow, I was hoping for NFS like speeds, without all the hassle of NFS under WinXP ( or windows period), iSCSI seems slow, as does ATA over ethernet. Basically, I was looking for a FAST way to do backups of massive amounts of media / important data files, so, I guess I'm stuck with speeds less than I expected :/
[07:44] <soundray> Vuen: 'w | grep username | grep startkde' perhaps
[07:44] <apokryphos> Vuen: if kdesktop is running, kde is probably running.
[07:44] <apokryphos> or startkde, sure
[07:44] <unop> lgc, you could try resolving depends using apt-get instead of aptitude .. sometimes aptitude works too much to try and resolve broken depends when infact an easier solution can be found
[07:44] <soundray> billybob: rsync?
[07:44] <soundray> billybob: unison?
[07:45] <Fedge> unop: where is /root/xorg.conf?
[07:45] <Fedge> unop: logged in as root, there's nothing in the root folder
[07:45] <billybob> not familiar with unison, but if its similar to rsync, its not really what I want
[07:45] <unop> Fedge,  thats like asking where is london? :) just where it is, at that location :)
[07:45] <lgc> unop, are you not one of those who thinks it is not wise to use apt-get and aptitude together?
[07:45] <Fedge> i know it's a silly question, but it's not there
[07:45] <Vuen> soundray, apokryphos: ah. right now i was just doing -e '/etc/init.d/kdm'. your way is probably better
[07:46] <apokryphos> Vuen: yeah; kdm does *not* have to be around for you to use kde
[07:46] <unop> Fedge,  are you sure -- check the location again -- you just told me that  X -config /root/xorg.conf brought up the grid .. so it must exist there
[07:46] <soundray> Vuen: gnome sets DESKTOP_SESSION to gnome -- have you done a 'env | grep -i kde' for environment variable candidates?
[07:47] <unop> lgc,  it doesnt really matter -- apt-get and aptitude are just different front-ends to APT
[07:47] <Vuen> soundray: ooh. yeah, i have DESKTOP_SESSION = kde here
[07:47] <andy> can someone please post me the default groups which a user is in when he just installed ubuntu?
[07:47] <apokryphos> soundray: kde uses that too, in fact.
[07:47] <soundray> Vuen: that'll be the most reliable one
[07:47] <Vuen> soundray: should i do if [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" = "kde" ] ?
[07:47] <Fedge> unop: when i bring up the grid, the following text appears in the console: "(EE) Unable to locate/open config file: "/root/xorg.conf"
[07:47] <unop> lgc,  the only difference between the two is that aptitude will try and remove unneeded packages while apt-get's a bit timid that way
[07:48] <soundray> Vuen: yeah, why not
[07:48] <unop> Fedge,  ahh, so that file is not created -- try running  - X -configure  again
[07:48] <Fedge> unop: and (==) Using default built-in configuration
[07:48] <billybob> well, that, and aptitude does install dependancies a bit better
[07:48] <billybob> ive had apt get stuck on dependancies
[07:48] <unop> Fedge,  yea, that explains why you get the grid, it's using the default xorg.conf instead
[07:49] <Fedge> unop: ok, i got a /home/me/xorg.conf.new
[07:49] <andy> the problem is, when I click on "System"-> administration, I don't see menu entries like "user and groups" etc.
[07:50] <lgc> unop, thanks.

[07:50] <unop> billybob, well, aptitude install suggestions -- but both should bring in the right depends but aptitude has a better dependency-resolution algorithm so it fares better when there are no clear solutions
[07:51] <Vuen> soundray, apokryphos: works perfectly, thanks guys
[07:51] <unop> Fedge, you could try this then -- X -config /home/me/xorg.conf.new
[07:51] <Fedge> unop: yeah, i did, and my system rebooted, and didn't start up gnome again
[07:51] <billybob> unop: try installing X from scratch using apt, it will have a hard time, aptitude works great (at least last time i tired over a year ago)
[07:51] <unop> Fedge, was the reboot unintentional?
[07:51] <r3m0t> I am using WG111v1 on 32-bit Edgy using ndiswrapper. My computer hangs (and doesn't respond to pings) regularly after I start browsing through wireless. the ethernet connection works. any suggestions?
[07:51] <billybob> well, that is, unless you know exactly which packages you need
[07:52] <r3m0t> in terminal 1 I get "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!"
[07:52] <Fedge> unop: yeah, after i tried the xorg.conf.new, the system rebooted completely on its own
[07:52] <porsche911turbo> does ubuntu dapper support intel p4 hyperthreading? ????
[07:52] <zaggynl^laptop> Who knows what to do against these errors: "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server \nXlib: No protocol specified"
[07:52] <soundray> porsche911turbo: yes it does (what a juvenile nick you have ;)
[07:53] <porsche911turbo> that's immaterial
[07:53] <zaggynl^laptop> I'm trying to start firestarter with 'gksudo firestarter --start-hidden"
[07:53] <porsche911turbo> thanks for answering my question though
[07:53] <soundray> porsche911turbo: yes, it's virtual even
[07:53] <unop> Fedge, hmm .. sounds baad -- try creating a new one  -- X -configure (you must be logged on as root for this)
[07:53] <Fedge> suuuper
[07:53] <porsche911turbo> yes well I am annoyed
[07:53] <billybob> porsche911turbo: apt-cache search linux-image | grep hyperthreading <--- should answer your question, but I think so yes.
[07:53] <soundray> porsche911turbo: you need to make sure you run a SMP kernel to make use of hyperthreading
[07:54] <lgc> unop, I think I finally achieved self-consistency.
[07:54] <porsche911turbo> I'm so confused as to why I bought this cool laptop that has windows XP home
[07:54] <porsche911turbo> it's intel pentium 4 (prescott core) with h/t
[07:54] <unop> lgc,  cool :)
[07:54] <porsche911turbo> but xp home doesn't support damn hyperthreading
[07:54] <porsche911turbo> lol!?!
[07:54] <soundray> porsche911turbo: s/cool/hot/ ;)
[07:54] <billybob> ejsy srvoce pack ?
[07:54] <billybob> SP2 should address that
[07:55] <porsche911turbo> no it doesn't
[07:55] <billybob> what service pack*
[07:55] <porsche911turbo> my task manager only shows one processor performance
[07:55] <billybob> porsche911turbo: thats funny, because it does on this side of the planet ;)
[07:55] <mothy> has anyone in here used any pro / pro-sumer audio cards in ubuntu? like echo audiofire or MOTU ultralite, or any M audio stuff.?
[07:55] <andy> oops, weird problem: I changed the groups of my current user and now he is only in 1 group. Now, I can't even do a "sudo" anymore. Can I fix that somehow?
[07:55] <billybob> what does hardware properties sat in hardware manager
[07:56] <soundray> porsche911turbo: hyperthreading is often disabled in the BIOS setup
[07:56] <billybob> sat = say*
[07:56] <fatbrain> What would I write in "Mount point" when setting up the swap partition?
[07:56] <soundray> fatbrain: 'none'
[07:56] <fatbrain> soundray: thanks
[07:57] <thekidrio> dumb question but tee -a is append right?
[07:57] <thekidrio> i seem to be missing the man page for that
[07:57] <soundray> thekidrio: yes. 'man tee' to be sure ;)
[07:57] <thekidrio> soundray, i am missing that man page haha
[07:57] <unop> andy,  ouch -- you'll need to get to single-user/recovery mode and edit the /etc/groups or /etc/sudoers (if you want this user to sudo without going through groups) file
[07:58] <thekidrio> err yeah
[07:58] <r3m0t> thekidrio: I think googling "man tee" usually works
[07:58] <billybob> google young padawan
[07:58] <thekidrio> haha if only i were young
[07:58] <lgc> unop, say, I upgraded to Dapper and I got a Debian menu under "Applications". Is that normal?
[07:58] <thekidrio> i just suck at lynx nav
[07:58] <andy> unop, can you maybe post me default user groups?
[07:59] <unop> lgc,  yes -- it doesnt have anything under it tho, does it? it's probably also greyed out
[07:59] <tuna-fish-> andy: reboot, select single user mode from grub and log in as root
[07:59] <andy> tuna-fish-, but don't I need to know in which groups I have been?
[07:59] <EdgEy> i set up a shared folder using the wizard in ubuntu's control center (feisty)
[07:59] <unop> andy,  errm, my system is very non-standard that way -- ask tuna-fish- to post his
[07:59] <EdgEy> samba, however it asks me for a password when i try to use it on a connected computer
[07:59] <andy> unop, ok :)
[07:59] <EdgEy> how can i un password it?
[07:59] <andy> tuna-fish-, can you maybe post me the default user groups? :)
[07:59] <tuna-fish-> andy: tuna adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip plugdev scanner admin
[08:00] <andy> thx
[08:00] <tuna-fish-> (replace tuna with your user name)
[08:00] <unop> EdgEy,  enable guest access to that share
[08:00] <EdgEy> unop, how?
[08:00] <Orbitize> I am able to find the wireless network I try to connect to, however I cannot join, as I cant chose TKIP key, my only choices are WEP 64 and 128 bit. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[08:00] <andy> thx
[08:00] <lgc> unop, on the contrary, it has "Apps", "Games", "Help", "Screens" submenus, all leading to other stuff.
[08:01] <billybob> EdgEy: you should man samba
[08:01] <unop> EdgEy,  check the "guest access" section here http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch06_02.html
[08:01] <Wooksta> can anyone point me in the direction of a page which tells me how to enable printer sharing for my local network?
[08:01] <billybob> basically you setup  guest account = ok, or somethign similar
[08:02] <billybob> err access
[08:02] <unop> lgc,  how odd -- well, i'm sure you can do away with that submenu -- it should have an entry in /usr/share/applications/ somewhere
[08:03] <billybob> guest ok = yes actually
[08:03] <billybob> man smb.conf
[08:03] <unop> < enables the guest account on read-only shares

[08:04] <lvalue> hi, my sound stopped working.. i get write error: Input/output error  when I try to cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[08:04] <lvalue> any suggestions how to solve this ?
[08:04] <kyng> el problema es que tengo que encontrar el codigo de administrador  de energia de xscreensaver
[08:04] <unop> lvalue,  try a sudo with that command
[08:05] <smoenux> yeah
[08:05] <smoenux> or output to your home dir
[08:05] <lvalue> unop, i'm trying that as root already
[08:05] <klm-> kyng: #ubuntu-es
[08:05] <lgc> unop, that didn't happen when I had debian repositories enabled on my sources.list (which is why I had to reinstall by "pinning" on Dapper).
[08:05] <fra> @ubuntu-it
[08:05] <kyng> ok
[08:05] <jhtn> is it possible to setup a usb printer through ssh?
[08:05] <fra> #ubuntu-it
[08:06] <kyng> good bye
[08:06] <unop> lvalue, errm, i wonder if you have the appropriate sound modules loaded for you sound card
[08:06] <thekidrio> jhtn it should be
[08:06] <EdgEy> i set samba to share to all.. still get a password box
[08:06] <smoenux> lvalue try: cat /dev/urandom > ~/dsp
[08:07] <unop> smoenux,  errm, that would just create a file by that name in his home folder
[08:07] <lvalue> the uptime of this mashine i almost 10 days, the sound did work up until now
[08:07] <billybob> EdgEy: have you added a user to samba yet ?
[08:07] <smoenux> unop: I know, but he was trying to do that in the dev folder, which is root access
[08:08] <smoenux> I assume he just wants to view the output
[08:08] <mike1o> does anybody know how to play ps2 games? i've tried pcsx2 & epsx without success...
[08:08] <unop> smoenux,  ahh but the /dev/dsp is not a normal file -- catting something to it should get your speakers crackling
[08:08] <smoenux> unop: ooh, ok... That, I did not know.... you learn something new every day :P
[08:09] <unop> lvalue, errm, have you done anything recently that might have made it not work? installed or configured something sound-related maybe?
[08:09] <Zan> Does anyone know how to increase IPC (or shm?) size? Though /dev/shm has 255 MB free?
[08:10] <lvalue> unop, i was listening to music as usual.. then i opened an .mpeg file within firefox, and the sound stopped..
[08:10] <unop> Zan,  what does this return - cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
[08:10] <lvalue> however fuser /dev/dsp shows no processes using the device
[08:10] <Zan> unop, 33554432
[08:11] <lvalue> i restarted udevd several times as well.. nothing
[08:11] <unop> lvalue,  have you tried a reboot?
[08:11] <lvalue> unop, i'm not running windows
[08:11] <unop> Zan,  try increasing that to 67108864
[08:11] <billybob> lol
[08:11] <unop> lvalue,  ha ha -- it probably might work tho :)
[08:12] <billybob> lsmod . . .
[08:12] <billybob> see if its running :)
[08:12] <billybob> (sound driver module)
[08:12] <thekidrio> anyone here use UniTTY?
[08:12] <arvidjo> Hello. Can anyone tell me in which package Xlib.h is in?
[08:12] <fatbrain> xlibs-dev (guessing)
[08:13] <lvalue> i was seeking a solution that would not involve restarting the machine
[08:13] <Astaroth_> is there a package which has all the important compiler tools in it?
[08:13] <fatbrain> Astaroth_: build-essential
[08:13] <unop> lvalue,  try billybob's suggestion - check if your sound-modules are still loaded
[08:14] <lvalue> i compiled them in the kernel
[08:14] <Astaroth_> thx
[08:14] <thekidrio> lvalue, sounds like you are making a change to the hardware abstraction layer (atleast thats where the problem probably is) so a restart is usually likely
[08:14] <billybob> lvalue: best thing I could suggest, is google your symtpoms, and see if anything turns up (although, i suspect you already have ?)
[08:14] <unop> arvidjo,  libdevel/libx11-dev
[08:15] <unop> arvidjo,  good tool -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[08:15] <billybob> thats tone of the wonderfull things abotu Ubuntu, usually, if there is a problem, someones already had the same problem, and possibly have a 'solve' for it
[08:15] <Zan> unop, ok, let's see
[08:15] <lvalue> google is shit the past 5 years.. it indexes mailing lists.. lots of people asking all kind of questions and no solution to any of them
[08:15] <Pici> !ohmy | lvalue
[08:15] <ubotu> lvalue: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:15] <billybob> well if that doesnt work try yahoo
[08:16] <unop> lvalue,  how true? and how selfish those people who ask for all that help and dont let anyone know what has worked for them
[08:16] <lvalue> but yeah, i did search on google first
[08:16] <billybob> i mean IF you havent try, what does it hurt to look, and look at the first few pages ?
[08:16] <billybob> i would have to agree with you however.
[08:17] <Zan> unop, still same error. especially with alsa: alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:846:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC shm instance   and   alsa-init: playback open error: No space left on device
[08:17] <koray> hi everyone

[08:19] <indro> anyone get avant-window-navigator working?
[08:19] <thekidrio> lvalue, sounds like you are making a change to the hardware abstraction layer (atleast thats where the problem probably is) so a restart is usually likely

[08:23] <Fedge> When I try to install 6.10 desktop, my monitor goes out of range.  Is there a way to tell the installer to output at 60z?
[08:24] <Kajin> How do I fix "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"?
[08:24] <flag> test
[08:24] <Jowi> Kajin, you need to install "build-essential"
[08:24] <koray> I have a wireless trouble....can u help me ?
[08:24] <tuxub> indro, debian-edu-config? whats that package for?
[08:25] <indro> tuxub: thats the package.
[08:25] <Kajin> Jowi: Alright, thanks!
[08:25] <tuxub> indro, okok
[08:25] <medic30420> Fedge, if you are installing then maybe just get the 'alternate install' CD and do a text based install, else you will have to edit the startup options on the regular install cd (F2 or F5 or something)
[08:25] <chlodek> #polska
[08:25] <SpudDogg> Is it just me or have the repos been really slow lately?
[08:26] <dyrne> koray: id do a google search like "site:ubuntuforums.org wirelesscardmodel" you might have more luck with the forums
[08:26] <SpudDogg> I usually download from the repos at like 800-900KB/s, but lately its been running at like 50KB/s.  Anyone else having problems?
[08:27] <tuxub> indro, you rule... its there! but can you explain me that? maybe I need that for my installation... I am building a samba+ldap server
[08:27] <dyrne> SpudDogg: you might sudo gedit /etc/apt/soureces.list and remove the us or other country prefix from the urls
[08:28] <dyrne> SpudDogg: well i mispelled sources.list but you get the idea then sudo apt-get update
[08:28] <Myk0> can anyone tell me why when i install PPC ubuntu, or debian my powerbook just ends up at a white screen????
[08:29] <SpudDogg> dyrne, you think that might speed things up?
[08:29] <jenda> Is there a way to add highligth schemes to gedit? I like to use it for taking notes, and if I had something like a moinmoin wikiformat highlighter, it would make it really, really cool.
[08:29] <Myk0> ??
[08:29] <indro> okay, werd mal schauen, danke ;)

[08:30] <Myk0> anyone do a PPC UBUNTU install???
[08:30] <dyrne> SpudDogg: im not sure but id think you would notice a difference

[08:37] <scratchme> If there were 1-2 books you could recommend for ubuntu/linux newbs who want to get do things like recompile their kernel, and create a small distro w/ just a kernel, and a few services from scratch, what would you recommend?
[08:37] <agliv5> Does anyone know of a x264 gui for ubuntu?  I found a rmp package, but can't install it...
[08:37] <Myk0> dyrne: i swear im coming close !
[08:38] <Myk0> dyrne: i think im going to drop this powerbook and buy a dell xps m1210
[08:38] <lgc> agliv5, you can use alien to make it .deb.
[08:38] <badrul> hello .. can u help with atheros wireless setup
[08:39] <Zan> unop, you don't know anything else that would help this?
[08:40] <godhell> Is there a way to get the ubuntu you have installed on one computer and install it to have it the exact same way on another computer, without swaping HDD's?
[08:40] <badrul> hi guys i am new to ubuntu .. can someone help in setting up the wireless artheros ar5005g pci
[08:40] <medic30420> badrul, sorry I can't be more specific, but from what I remember you need to download madwifi-ng and build, then modprobe ath_pci, then iwconfig ath0 essid {whatever your essid is}, ifconfig eth0 down, ifconfig ath0 up, dhclient ath0
[08:40] <lgc> unop, does 'xtApp.Value, "prettyName")] );' tell you anything?
[08:41] <medic30420> edit you rc.init (or something) and add the line modprobe ath_pci
[08:41] <medic30420> happy googling
[08:42] <godhell> any1 or an idea how to?
[08:42] <medic30420> godhell: is it the same architecture?
[08:42] <badrul> thanks
[08:43] <nico> ?
[08:43] <godhell> medic30420; yes
[08:43] <Myk0> any ppc experts in here ??? :P
[08:43] <badrul> just a comment .. i am so glad i found ubuntu .. i will not go to fedora core 5
[08:43] <godhell> medic30420; both are gonna run x86
[08:44] <medic30420> godhell: i would try rescuecd (a linux distro) and make an image, then extract it to the new computer and fire up nano to fix any problems
[08:45] <eXistenZ> I find gnome kinda sluggish compared to KDE, I'm not sure why =/
[08:45] <medic30420> godhell: systemrescuecd that is (it is like norton ghost, but a command line interface)
[08:46] <justin007> hi, I searched google for an UI to configure shorewall service on ubuntu but could not comeup with any.  are there any good ones on ubuntu?
[08:46] <medic30420> justin007: webmin
[08:47] <godhell> medic30420; thanks
[08:47] <medic30420> godhell: good luck with it, and consider diff if you can install a base system first, either way it is an uberhack
[08:47] <Latty> I'm going to be buying a new PC to build myself, and I just wondered if anyone could run over my component selection and tell me if I've gone wrong anywhere in particular.  Case: Antec Nine Hundred, CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600, Mobo: Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP, PSU: 600w Seasonic S12-600, Graphics: 512mb XFX 7600GS, RAM: CorsairTwinX XMS2 512MB pair. Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro HDD: Two IDE drives ripped out of my current
[08:47] <Latty> machine, with this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=480713 - as the Mobo has no IDE ports (SATA) And again, optical drives ripped out of my old machine. Note I'm not a big gamer, but want an nVidia card with Dual DVI ports for dual monitors, and will be running Ubuntu on it.
[08:47] <justin007> medic30420: I tried webmin but found that it was bit complex, are there any simpler ones to use
[08:48] <medic30420> justin007: shorewall is pretty complicated itself, is firestarter not ok?
[08:48] <medic30420> justin007: personally, i bought an old pentium II for $50 and put ipcop on it
[08:49] <agliv5> lgc, I tried but without any previous expierence it failed...
[08:49] <dimitri> does anyone know how i can execute a command @ a certain time every day? i only need to execute two different commands once a day. thanks
[08:49] <medic30420> dimitri, crontab -e
[08:49] <dimitri> medic30420: thanks
[08:50] <medic30420> dimitri: man crontab for the syntax
[08:50] <justin007> medic30420: I unfortunately need it for shorewall.  Have you come accross anything other than webmin
[08:50] <lgc> agliv5, did you manage to produce the .deb?
[08:50] <medic30420> justin007: not really, maybe just steal someone else's ruleset
[08:51] <agliv5> lgc, yes here's what happened http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4612/
[08:51] <herbert> Shilpw
[08:51] <herbert> ls -trqw
[08:53] <Zan> What in the world is wrong with this ipc shm thing :E
[08:54] <lgc> agliv5, it did generate the .deb file. Did you try to install with 'dpkg -i' as root?
[08:54] <agliv5> lgc, yes it created a dir with a .png in it...
[08:54] <Zan> I wonder if it is a kernel thing or a userspace thing that's wrong
[08:54] <metal03> Hi there, I have a .rar file...  how can I decompress that file?
[08:55] <lgc> agliv5, is that all?
[08:56] <agliv5> lgc, I'm not sure, but kfind only found one new entry for x264.. it was a dirrectory and nearly empty...
[08:56] <metal03> Anyone knows how to extract the content of a .rar file??
[08:56] <jorgp> unrar?
[08:57] <metal03> ya
[08:57] <dyrne> metal03: sudo apt-get install unrar; unrar e file.rar
[08:57] <shatrat> unrar e archive.rar
[08:57] <lgc> maybe if you do 'updatedb', although you should be able to invoke the manual.
[08:58] <pbureau> agliv5, run updatedb & and once the hdd stop spinning, try locate again
[08:58] <lgc> agliv5, but I see that this package IS at least on the Dapper repositories.
[08:59] <FLiPeR> anyone a URL about the kernel torrent bug?
[08:59] <FLiPeR> (I/O write error)
[09:00] <EspenBe> any java-experts here?  I try to install a program depending on java on my Edgy-box, but it fails to install and returns an error message: "Exception in thread main ....."
[09:00] <EspenBe> how can I solve this stuff?

[09:01] <`MeTaMorfas`> wtf?
[09:02] <numist> hm
[09:02] <numist> nice, gnomefreak
[09:02] <robdeman> mm what the F
[09:02] <clever> yay notice spam:P
[09:02] <dyrne> thats a good illustration of why i never leave irssi up on my monitor at work..
[09:02] <EspenBe> because of the spamming - here we try again: any java-experts here?  I try to install a program depending on java on my Edgy-box, but it fails to install and returns an error message: "Exception in thread main ....."
[09:02] <EspenBe> how can I solve this stuff?
[09:02] <numist> dyrne: hah
[09:03] <numist> EspenBe: usually that's a sign that the java program's classpath is incorrect
[09:03] <robdeman> hi folks, which command can I run that will tell me what kind of machine I have? wheter its 64 bits.. how much ram.. etc?
[09:03] <numist> EspenBe: check $CLASSPATH and make sure that your jdk is actually installed correctly
[09:03] <EspenBe> I set CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/rt.jar
[09:03] <dyrne> robdeman: cat /proc/cpuinfo   or meminfo is a good start
[09:04] <dyrne> robdeman: /proc directory has all kinds of useful stuff
[09:04] <EspenBe> numist: I installed j2re1.4 using synaptic
[09:04] <robdeman> ok
[09:04] <robdeman> what exactly is a 2.6.15-23-amd64-server ?
[09:05] <robdeman> is it 64 bits?
[09:05] <mindstate> having trouble autoloading certain modules, i tried adding to /etc/modules, but still no luck..any help?
[09:06] <pbureau> mindstate, you did a modprobe -i driver , then modprobe -m ?
[09:07] <lgc> robdeman, indeed. I suppose that's what you get from 'uname -a'.
[09:07] <SDBolts21n56> hi all, noob here. what replaces inittab in ubuntu?
[09:07] <mindstate> pbureau: no, to get it to work i do a couple of modprobes and a couple of insmod's ..its a usb webcam

[09:09] <CSWookie> What is the command to make ubuntu rediscover it's X display settings?
[09:09] <SDBolts21n56> hi all, noob here. what replaces inittab in ubuntu?
[09:10] <mindstate> CSWookie: to reconfigure X u can type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
[09:10] <mindstate> CSWookie: if thats wut u meant
[09:10] <D4wN> What is the command for know the version to use ( edgy, dapper or breeezy )
[09:10] <D4wN> please
[09:10] <Pici> !version | D4wN
[09:10] <ubotu> D4wN: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[09:10] <pbureau> mindstate, I not really sure once it is in /etc/modules they should load up on boot, if the usb device is reconized on boot that is
[09:11] <D4wN> Thx !
[09:11] <SDBolts21n56> CSWookie, are you sure it is not type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[09:12] <Myk0> how do i check my hd and partitions in a shell?
[09:12] <D4wN> it's dapper ;)
[09:12] <CSWookie> t may well be.  I've never had to do it before.
[09:12] <saftsack> anyone?
[09:12] <CSWookie> Hmm.
[09:12] <Cryoniq> !gstreamer
[09:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:13] <SDBolts21n56> what replaces inittab in ubuntu?
[09:13] <Cryoniq> hmm
[09:13] <pbureau> Cryoniq, its a package in apt-get
[09:13] <mindstate> Myk0: cat /proc/partitions
[09:13] <CSWookie> So, when I restart X, it says it's trying to autocoinfigure, and then moniter goes back to saying input not supported.
[09:13] <goban> whats a really good (with nice gui) thing like quicken, and for making CSS? trying to get my dad to switch to ubuntu
[09:13] <D4wN> Do you know if I can play Lineage II in linux ???
[09:14] <Cryoniq> Can someone explain to me what Gstreamer actually is? Is it a player, or a library and functions that has its basic foundation upon plugins for codecs etc?
[09:14] <Cryoniq> D4wN: probably not..
[09:14] <pbureau> goban,  I dont think you will find a 'comparable' Quicken software in linux, you could try to make it run under WINE, but I dont know how it would work/react.
[09:14] <SDBolts21n56> mindstate,  are you sure it is not type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[09:14] <D4wN> Cryoniq: and with Wine ?
[09:14] <Cryoniq> D4wN: I tried Rappelz under Wine and Cedega and their anti hack program starting with it just hates it
[09:14] <eduedix> how come openoffice is totally 64M in ubuntu ? how do devs compile the packages?
[09:14] <mindstate> SDBolts21n56: Yes youre right, my mistake :) lol
[09:14] <pbureau> Cryoniq, if you go to synaptic (system-admin) and do a search for it, you will get a description of what it is/does
[09:15] <mjr> Cryoniq, a library architecture and a collection of libraries for codecs and media manipulation, recording and playback
[09:15] <D4wN> Cryoniq: Thank you. But, do you speak french ?
[09:15] <SDBolts21n56> what replaces inittab in ubuntu?
[09:15] <Cryoniq> D4wN: and Rapellz is very similiar to Lineage2 as a software.. but.. I havent tried with LineageII so you should try it at least :)
[09:15] <D4wN> Cryoniq: Ok
[09:15] <Cryoniq> mjr: thanks :) What players use it? VLC?
[09:16] <delight> I'm using an edgy with mysql5 server ... does someone know where to set mysql to use unicode instead of latin1 ?
[09:16] <Cryoniq> mjr: ah here.. reading that Mplayer does not use the framework.. hmm..
[09:16] <bronze> hi all. only near ubuntu package I can find for "fslint" is a "deb" package.  Does anyone know if that would be compatible/usable with apt-get install ?
[09:16] <Cryoniq> maybe movie player etc does then..
[09:17] <medic30420> delight, that is done table by table if needed, else you may have to recompile it :(
[09:17] <Cryoniq> oh well.. guess I wont "die" to try installing plugins etc and try if it works ^^
[09:17] <D4wN> Cryoniq: what is Rapellz ?
[09:17] <D4wN> Cryoniq: a game ?
[09:18] <CyberSnooP> Does anyone know what could cause crappy font display in wxWidgets software like this: http://bram.vleur.nl/tijdelijk/aangifte2006
[09:18] <delight> medic30420: thanks, wondering why on a completly set to unicode system that is set to latin1 ... maybe that is something for a bugreport on launchpad ?
[09:18] <CSWookie> Weird.  The monitor displayed the start and end splash screens when I rebooted, but it won't display X proper.
[09:19] <SDBolts21n56> I can not find the inittab in ubuntu, was it replace by somthing else?
[09:19] <maddler> hmmm... could anyone try writing something starting with "zic*"?
[09:19] <D4wN> Are they a chanel fr ?

[09:25] <chrisjs169> dyrne: yeah
[09:26] <chrisjs169> dyrne: I got it working, the dist-upgrade had written a new xorg file, and replacing it worked....for now
[09:27] <dyrne> chrisjs169: the nvidia-glx package though is that working or not? just curious
[09:27] <bronze> dunno
[09:28] <chrisjs169> dyrne: not sure, hold on

[09:30] <zool2005> Good evening all
[09:30] <kupesoft> How come when I plug from the NIC on my laptop to the NIC on my router without a hub/switcher nothing happens but, if I put a hub/switcher in between everything works well?
[09:30] <Khem> what can I use for graphical display of CVS tree ?
[09:30] <zool2005> I have a hardware question.... can I put a SATA drive in my box alongside an IDE drive?
[09:31] <yellow> zool2005, yes
[09:31] <yellow> as long as you have the cable / slot /power / shelf for it
[09:31] <enr1x> hi guys! i have just installed ubuntu onto an acer laptop and, when using the headphones, the sound is still directed to the builtin speakers. What is the problem?
[09:31] <bronze> zool2005: but you have to get an exception from the local IDE union hall.
[09:31] <zool2005> bronze, !!
[09:31] <enr1x> i have already looked in google but the question seems to not to have been answered
[09:32] <bronze> :-D
[09:32] <enr1x> thanks in advance :)
[09:32] <yellow> hehe bronze
[09:32] <yellow> i forgot about the union hall
[09:32] <yellow> ^^!
[09:32] <enr1x> bad kernel module?
[09:32] <zool2005> yellow, the box won't mind if I'm running XP on the IDE drive?
[09:33] <bruenig> the box always minds
[09:33] <zool2005> bruenig, point taken!
[09:33] <yellow> zool2005, :O i thought you're running ubuntu
[09:33] <zool2005> yellow, I am but I need more capacity
[09:33] <enr1x> anyone knows what the solutinon can be?
[09:33] <yellow> the almighty xp will come down and zap you
[09:33] <enr1x> i am already experienced in installing/urnning linux
[09:33] <Echoes> Edgy is the latest ubuntu? i need to upgrade from breezy. is it enough to change sources.list and do apt-get distro-upgrade?
[09:34] <bruenig> Echoes, fresh install probably is best, if you go the upgrade route, you will need to go to dapper and then again to edgy
[09:34] <zool2005> yellow, at the moment I have two IDE drives but I want to upgrade one

[09:45] <Echoes> what kernel does 6.10 have?
[09:45] <bruenig> 2.6.17
[09:46] <kestaz> bruenig, how to get newer kernel ?
[09:46] <bruenig> !kernel
[09:46] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[09:46] <kestaz> bruenig, i don't want to compile custom..
[09:46] <eXistenZ> Is it possible to change the highligting colors of bash?
[09:46] <bruenig> kestaz, then you don't get a newer one

[09:47] <Linkmasta23> hi peoples
[09:48] <Linkmasta23> im new here
[09:48] <babo> does anyone know how to access virtual mailboxes from the commandline / pine ?
[09:48] <farruinn> babo: what's a virtual mailbox?
[09:49] <x3nu__> hey
[09:49] <Linkmasta23> who reccomends ubuntu for me? im thinking of getting it
[09:49] <x3nu__> i got an quick question
[09:50] <x3nu__> how to set up keyboard so i can write "at" and other third level caracters
[09:50] <fredl> where can you request things to be packaged for Ubuntu?
[09:50] <farruinn> Linkmasta23: that's a decision you need to make for yourself. it depends on a lot of things
[09:50] <thekidrio> fredl you can rebuild your own ubuntu packages eh
[09:50] <thekidrio> ubuntu is nice and easy, get the live cd and check it out
[09:50] <farruinn> fredl: get in touch with the MOTU folks maybe (#ubuntu-motu)
[09:50] <fredl> thekidrio, ehr...
[09:51] <thekidrio> i even got it working on my old sparc ultra 5 heh
[09:51] <kestaz> bruenig, i can just install feisty kernel ;p
[09:51] <fredl> thanks farruinn.
[09:51] <x3nu__> i tried on the configuration menu but it keeps telling me that something is wrong the x serv
[09:51] <thekidrio> hrmm what is your hardware?
[09:51] <x3nu__> mine ?
[09:52] <thekidrio> yeah for the xerv
[09:52] <thekidrio> xserv
[09:52] <thekidrio> your vid hard ware
[09:52] <assasukasse> hi everyone
[09:52] <x3nu__> ati x700
[09:52] <thekidrio> hrmm that ati should work fine
[09:52] <Linkmasta23> would ubuntu work on 130 mb ram, 800mhz procceser, and a soon to upgrade 8 mb of hardrive space?
[09:53] <assasukasse> i have a question: i have a test computer on which edgy is installed, it has a 6 Gb root partition, now i wanted to try feisty but i cant upgrade since says there is not enough space in /archives what can i do?
[09:53] <thekidrio> 130 megs.... tough one
[09:53] <x3nu__> everything is running fine, mom gonna copy the error message
[09:53] <assasukasse> should i wait for final then use the cd to upgrade?
[09:53] <thekidrio> look at minix or damn small linux
[09:53] <farruinn> Linkmasta23: it would "run" but you'd probably want more ram
[09:53] <SDBolts21n56> I can not find the inittab in ubuntu, was it replace by somthing else?
[09:53] <Wodger> very slowly would be my guess
[09:53] <SDBolts21n56> I can not find the inittab in ubuntu, was it replace by somthing else?
[09:53] <rambo3> Linkmasta23, ask ubptu about lightweight
[09:53] <thekidrio> my ubuntu runs fine on my p3 900
[09:53] <Linkmasta23> yeah im getting more ram
[09:53] <adaran> anyone know how to get 5.1 sound working on alsa?
[09:53] <thekidrio> but i have 30 gig hd and 512 ram
[09:54] <x3nu__> Fehler beim Aktivieren der XKB-Konfiguration.  means fault in activating xkb-configuration
[09:54] <Wooksta> can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial which tells me how to enable printer sharing for my local network via ubuntu?
[09:54] <Linkmasta23> so i think it might be good dont ya think?
[09:54] <jmm0906> I need a driver for my Philips Sp300nc webcamera ...can anyone help me? i cant find it on phips.com
[09:54] <farruinn> SDBolts21n56: you don'th ave it at /etc/inittab?
[09:55] <eternaljoy> anyone here use broadband from Optus in Australia?
[09:55] <Echoes> how do i recome all X11 stuff from ubuntu? i want only console
[09:55] <jmm0906> philips.com
[09:55] <SDBolts21n56> farruinn, is it a hide file?
[09:55] <SDBolts21n56> because i do see it
[09:55] <SDBolts21n56> dont see it
[09:55] <thekidrio> apt-get uninstall ubuntu-desktop echoes
[09:55] <Cyrus25801> can some one help me with a wine problem
[09:55] <thekidrio> but if you want just console
[09:55] <Echoes> thekidrio, thanks
[09:55] <thekidrio> i would install a lamp server
[09:55] <thekidrio> get the server install CD's
[09:56] <thekidrio> no X on those ones
[09:56] <farruinn> thekidrio: why the heck would he want to run amp?
[09:56] <thekidrio> a bit cleaner install then removing desktop from normal install
[09:56] <thekidrio> lamp
[09:56] <Echoes> thekidrio, i don't have the time to reinstall now
[09:56] <thekidrio> linux + apache + mysql + php,perl,python not amp heh
[09:56] <Cyrus25801> with winecfg i'm trying to specify a program but it keeps telling me "err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not browse to folder
[09:56] <Cyrus25801> "
[09:56] <thekidrio> echoes, yeah then that should work
[09:56] <thekidrio> you can also just disable it
[09:56] <farruinn> thekidrio: I know what it is. You don't need that for just console use though
[09:57] <thekidrio> no just the lamp install disk, sorry heh
[09:57] <thekidrio> mean server install disk not lamp
[09:57] <farruinn> thekidrio: isn't there a server disk and a minimal disk? separate?
[09:57] <farruinn> SDBolts21n56: it's not hidden, it'd be /etc/.foo then. I dont' know what the deal is.
[09:57] <thekidrio> not sure about minimal disk probably though heh
[09:58] <thekidrio> just finished setting up 4 lamp servers, so i have it on the brain
[09:58] <SDBolts21n56> farruinn, i tried to find it but nothing
[09:58] <farruinn> SDBolts21n56: what are you trying to do?
[09:58] <jmm0906> I need a driver for my Philips Sp300nc webcamera ...can anyone help me? i cant find it on philips.com
[09:59] <bruenig> !webcam | jmm0906
[09:59] <SDBolts21n56> farruinn,  chagne the defualt run level
[09:59] <ubotu> jmm0906: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[09:59] <jmm0906> thank you
[09:59] <bruenig> !thanks | jmm0906
[09:59] <ubotu> jmm0906: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[10:00] <Echoes> lol
[10:00] <thekidrio> heh
[10:00] <Cyrus25801> can some one help me with a wine problem. with winecfg i'm trying to specify a program but it keeps telling me "err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not browse to folder"
[10:01] <farruinn> SDBolts21n56: what are you trying to accomplish by that? debian/ubuntu have done away with the idea of runlevels for the most part.
[10:01] <epimer> hi guys
[10:01] <bruenig> !hi | epimer
[10:01] <ubotu> epimer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:01] <Echoes> thekidrio, ubuntu-desktop is not installed yet still xorg* packages are
[10:01] <Echoes> Echoes, why?
[10:01] <epimer> i'm not sure, but i think i may have hosed my python stuff
[10:02] <epimer> i've had problems with exaile and beryl since installing python2.5
[10:02] <SDBolts21n56> farruinn, so there is no way to change run levels?
[10:02] <heatman> ive was installing beryl when my pc froze. i then rebooted and finished the install in a non gui state. now when i try to log in ubuntu, i ge the following error: Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly... does anyone know what to do to fix that?
[10:02] <Echoes> bruenig, lol, typo :)
[10:02] <heatman> ive was installing beryl when my pc froze. i then rebooted and finished the install in a non gui state. now when i try to log in ubuntu, i ge the following error: Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly... does anyone know what to do to fix that?
[10:02] <farruinn> SDBolts21n56: I'm sure if you wrote your own inittab from scratch it'd work, but I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish by this.
[10:02] <heatman> oops sry for saying it twice
[10:02] <epimer> so now, running exaile with "python /usr/bin/exaile" and "python2.5 /usr/bin/exaile" fails with the error that it cannot find gobject, but "python2.4 ...." works fine
[10:02] <epimer> any idea what i;ve done?
[10:03] <bruenig> epimer, just go back to 2.4
[10:03] <variant> the wow starts now..
[10:03] <SDBolts21n56> farruinn, i need to be at rl 3 for this app i am using
[10:03] <bruenig> the wow started 5 years ago..
[10:03] <Cyrus25801> heatman: if you backed up you xorgconf file restor it and trying installing it again. that's the onlt thing i can think of
[10:04] <epimer> bruenig, i removed 2.5 in synaptic, but still trying to open exaile only works if i specify 2.4
[10:04] <epimer> i.e. "python /usr/bin/exaile" and just plain "exaile" return the cannot find module gobect error
[10:04] <CheshireViking> is there a way I can copy copy my Ubuntu installation which is on hdb1 to hdb4? I want to install a second copy of Ubuntu for testing purposes so that I don't cripple my working copy?
[10:05] <ompaul> CheshireViking, why not just install on hdb4 it will work and your boot manager will be happy
[10:05] <thekidrio> echoes, hrmm couple things do apt-get remove xorg
[10:05] <jmm0906> hmm... nothing on philips sp300nc webcamera. damn ..isnt there someone here who uses or knows somebody who kows about someone else using it ? :P ..help me out mates
[10:05] <bruenig> epimer, you can just setup the menu to run whatever the python 2.4 specified command is
[10:06] <thekidrio> and/or echo "false" | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[10:06] <epimer> bruenig, i'm sorry, i don't understand what you mean
[10:06] <thekidrio> that will disable it from launching anyway
[10:06] <anirban> How to install nvidia driver on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[10:06] <bruenig> epimer, nevermind, you can symlink all the 2.5 stuff
[10:06] <thekidrio> umm anirban, get automatix2
[10:07] <farruinn> SDBolts21n56: Ok, that's still not telling me anything, but if you're interested I've pasted my inittab here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4623/
[10:07] <Echoes> i'm distro upgrading without the ubuntu-desktop package? is it ok?
[10:07] <thekidrio> easiest way to install em
[10:07] <bruenig> !automatix | thekidrio
[10:07] <ubotu> thekidrio: 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
[10:07] <thekidrio> yeah echoes thats cool
[10:07] <anirban> what is it thekidrio
[10:07] <Echoes> Echoes, is it safe?
[10:07] <bruenig> !nv | anirban
[10:07] <ubotu> anirban: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:07] <thekidrio> hrmm seems it causes problems, but it allows automatic installation of some useful stuff
[10:07] <SDBolts21n56> farruinn, thanks
[10:08] <thekidrio> i have not had any isues with it though
[10:08] <Cyrus25801> anirban: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[10:08] <Echoes> i don't want to upgrade all those kde* and gnome*
[10:08] <CheshireViking> ompaul: thats the other option, however I'd prefer to keep my original grub settings without creating a new grub on hdb4 in case the system on hdb4 (which will only be used for testing and might get trashed), because I've got a couple of other linux installations on hdb3 &hdb6 as well as windows on hda1 i suppose i could reinstall grub back to hdb1
[10:09] <thekidrio> echoes, hrmm yeah it might, what install media did you use? regular install cd?
[10:09] <Echoes> thekidrio, yes.
[10:10] <anirban> ubotu I tried the BinaryDriverHowto
[10:10] <anirban> but did not work
[10:10] <ompaul> CheshireViking, so make something else the primary booting engine - a perhap if you have a floppy that is removed when you running the system and not playing with grub
[10:10] <Echoes> thekidrio, what about this "Make sure that you have ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, or edubuntu-desktop installed (depending on which distribution you are using). This is VITAL for apt to perform the upgrade successfully. "
[10:10] <farruinn> anirban: ubotu is a bot
[10:10] <anirban> actually the driver was working before the system upgrade
[10:10] <anirban> okay
[10:10] <heatman> !GDM
[10:10] <ubotu> gdm: GNOME Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 2.16.1-0ubuntu4.1 (edgy), package size 1687 kB, installed size 12300 kB
[10:10] <Echoes> thekidrio, is there an ubuntu-server package?
[10:11] <thekidrio> hrmm, lets see there is ubuntu-minimal
[10:11] <farruinn> Echoes: you only need those installed if you want the upgrade to upgrade your desktop successfully
[10:11] <Echoes> farruinn, ah, good, i don't need the desktop stuff
[10:12] <blom> http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/allpackages  doesn't seem to list pam at all... does anyone know if it has 0.99 ?  (ie. does pam_keyring work yet)
[10:12] <Cyrus25801> anirban: well try to install the driver again. i think something might have gone wrong with your up grade. never have upgraded so wouldn't be able to help you there
[10:12] <heatman> is there a command to downgrade distro to original stage?
[10:13] <farruinn> heatman: like from edgy -> dapper?
[10:13] <CheshireViking> ompaul: I'll have alook & see what I can do, if I can, i'll try a straight copy, if not, I'll do a fresh install on hdb4, thanks for the suggestion anyway
[10:13] <Cyrus25801> anirban: and i gave you a link for the latest driver page not the binary driver howto
[10:13] <ompaul> farruinn, going backwards is not supported - that is called fresh install
[10:13] <PPAAUULL> It MintLinux like a flavour of ubuntu?
[10:14] <PPAAUULL> is*
[10:14] <farruinn> ompaul: I know, just trying to figure out what heatman's talking about ;)
[10:14] <heatman> farruinn: nah from edgy to edgy... meaning every update or install will be deleted
[10:14] <CSWookie> Is there a way for me to see what X settings ubuntu uses for it's startup and shutdown screens?
[10:14] <anirban> I am trying that
[10:14] <CSWookie> My monitor displays those fine, so I'd be happy to just crib them over.
[10:15] <Cyrus25801> anirban: every time you upgrade you need to reinstall driver read on the link i gave you
[10:15] <CSWookie> Since it can't seem to display X once it gets started.
[10:15] <ompaul> heatman, too hard to make work - you install extra stuff you can find yourself with a mess - if it is from outside the standard repos you have no real chance if you value your time - reinstall and get it right ;-)
[10:16] <Cyrus25801> can some one help me with a wine problem. with winecfg i'm trying to specify a program but it keeps telling me "err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not browse to folder"
[10:16] <babwe>  Im trying t setup  xchat with this http://fish.sekure.us/ but its failing t find the xfish.so on 64 bit pc
[10:16] <heatman> ompaul: was afraid that you gonna say that!
[10:16] <ompaul> heatman, well now you know what you knew but would not admit ;-)
[10:16] <Crazytales2> Can someone help me with an X problem? I've just upgraded the NVIDIA drivers through Update Manager. Now I can't get X at all and I get some error about the kernel module not matching the X module.
[10:16] <heatman> ompaul: hehe!
[10:17] <Crazytales2> ompaul: I prefer smaller channels, but not so small that nobody ever says anything.
[10:17] <Crazytales2> I like channels with about 50-100 members.
[10:17] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: could you help me with the problem i mentioned above.
[10:18] <heatman> is there a good way to install beryl... followed the instruction on its site (the one specificly for ubuntu) and that the source of my problems with Xserver
[10:18] <Cyrus25801> anirban: how r things looking?
[10:18] <ompaul> heatman, go to #ubuntu-beryl
[10:18] <heatman> ompaul: ty bud
[10:19] <Cyrus25801> heatman: if you get it right maybe you can help me
[10:19] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, don't know anything about wine - however that looks like a permission issue
[10:19] <adaptr> !pam
[10:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pam - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:23] <flyinghippo> Are there any free DVD encoders for Ubuntu/Linux?

[10:24] <thekidrio> they do have a server install though echoes with no desktop stuff installed
[10:24] <Kasio> Would an installation of Ubuntu help my booting issue ( cant get to choose between BackTrack and Windows XP)
[10:25] <Kasio> So I thought installing Ubuntu will fix it so I get to choose between WIndows and Ubuntu (of course removing Backtrack)
[10:25] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo: check the fourms. u can use k9copy but there are other packages you need to install as well
[10:25] <indigoparrot> hey all, can anyone help me.  There's a bug in Kopete to do with webcams, and i've found a bug fix, i'm just not sure how to compile it.
[10:25] <flyinghippo> Thank you, Cyrus.
[10:25] <Echoes> thekidrio, i would like that server install, can i convert the existing ubuntu-desktop to it?
[10:25] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo: do you want to rip (backup) your dvd's
[10:25] <flyinghippo> No, I wish to view them.
[10:26] <thekidrio> yeah you can, ummm lemme find the lamp install line
[10:26] <thekidrio> that is if you want a lamp server
[10:26] <thekidrio> if you just want one or two of those you can just grab those
[10:26] <Echoes> thekidrio, no lamp, just samba
[10:26] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo: i had the same prob last week. let me see if i can find something for you. install xine so long
[10:26] <indigoparrot> can anyone help me with compiling Kopete, or should i try in a KDE channel?
[10:26] <thekidrio> ahh ok
[10:26] <adaptr> indigoparrot: why would you need to compile it ?
[10:27] <Echoes> indigoparrot, why would you like to do that??
[10:27] <adaptr> inidnm, I saw it.. what do the people in #kubuntu say ?
[10:27] <indigoparrot> adaptr: i want to add a bug work-around.  It doesn't work properly with my webcam and I've found a section of code i have to add/edit in an existing source file
[10:27] <flyinghippo> Cyrus25801: I will try that, thanks.
[10:27] <Echoes> indigoparrot, just install the package
[10:27] <indigoparrot> Echoes: i can't, i need to edit the source, then compile
[10:28] <rippawallet> hey
[10:28] <rippawallet> i need a lil bit of help
[10:28] <mistform> internet keeps timing out unless I'm hardwired
[10:28] <Echoes> indigoparrot, then it should be easy, just make sure you have kde*-dev packages installed
[10:28] <rippawallet> can i have help please? :)
[10:28] <indigoparrot> Echoes & adaptr: the fix is here - http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140528
[10:28] <rippawallet> ok
[10:28] <rippawallet> someone
[10:28] <rippawallet> lol
[10:28] <mistform> rippawallet, ask your question and be patient. not everyone you see in the userlist is at their keyboard right now
[10:28] <Echoes> indigoparrot, better yet, download ubuntu's kopete source package and modify
[10:28] <rippawallet> ok sorry
[10:28] <rippawallet> well,
[10:29] <adaptr> indigoparrot: get kopete source package, patch it, compile it ? If you don't have KDE headers now, you need to get all kdelibs-dev that kopete needs - which may be quite a few...
[10:29] <indigoparrot> Echoes: what package name would i be looking for? Kopete-sources?
[10:29] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo: here is a link i used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs?highlight=%28dvd%29
[10:29] <adaptr> again asking why you're in #u and not #ku ?
[10:29] <rippawallet> while installing xUbuntu off the live CD, when mounting the partitions, it says no root system file, when i mounted one of them as /
[10:29] <Echoes> indigoparrot, apt-get source kopete AFAIR
[10:29] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo: and thank you for saying thanx
[10:29] <Abst> I was wondering what is a good command-line IRC client, excluding irssi

[10:30] <adaptr> heh
[10:30] <adaptr> !bitchx
[10:30] <thekidrio> samba is pretty easy, to get going lets see its uhh sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
[10:30] <indigoparrot> adaptr: i'm running Ubuntu, but i can't get the webcam to work on aMSN either :(
[10:30] <ubotu> bitchx: Advanced Internet Relay Chat client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.1-4ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 1507 kB, installed size 6516 kB

[10:30] <adaptr> indigoparrot: skype on wine seems to work according to some...
[10:30] <mistform> rippawallet, I'm not as experienced as many of the guys in here, and I dont' know exactly what your problem is...
[10:30] <thekidrio> echoes, full instructions http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Samba_Server_for_files.2Ffolders_sharing_service
[10:31] <rippawallet> ok
[10:31] <indigoparrot> adaptr: ideally, i don't want to have to play with wine, i'd like to have it all kosher linux
[10:31] <Abst> !es | adaptr
[10:31] <ubotu> adaptr: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:31] <mistform> rippawallet, but I've had some problems like that with a fresh install, I just reinstalled and everything worked fine
[10:31] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo: here is a link i used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs?highlight=%28dvd%29
[10:31] <rippawallet> Hmm.
[10:31] <mistform> I've had error with root fileystem, unable to read drive format, etc
[10:31] <rippawallet> i see
[10:31] <mistform> my hard drive is so messed up right now
[10:31] <rippawallet> lol
[10:31] <flyinghippo> Thanks again, Cyrus25801.
[10:31] <mistform> I have 18gb of the 40gb formatted to my main partition
[10:31] <mistform> the rest is unusable
[10:32] <mistform> it won't format and keeps generating errors
[10:32] <rippawallet> hm
[10:32] <mistform> it would always fail formatting at 46-48%
[10:32] <rippawallet> ok
[10:32] <Cyrus25801> flyinghippo, no prob
[10:32] <mistform> rippawallet, have you asked in ##LInux?
[10:33] <mistform> ##linux ****

[10:35] <Cyrus25801> anirban: if you followed and it didn't work you will have to ask the experts

[10:35] <anirban> okay
[10:35] <MonsieurBon> hello
[10:35] <Random_Transit> hey, if i use LVM to merge partitions that already have data on them, will that data get wiped?

[10:36] <Random_Transit> mluser-work, i had that same problem
[10:36] <thekidrio> err are you using bind stephans?
[10:36] <mluser-work> Random_Transit: How did you solve it?
[10:36] <stephans> thekidrio, in the windows infrastructure you can have several dhcp servers....
[10:37] <mluser-work> Random_Transit: I cant even uninstall it now :(
[10:37] <thekidrio> yeah you can in linux :)
[10:37] <thekidrio> err sorry i was thinking dns haha

[10:37] <Faugn> MonsieurBon: yes, I have this rule for mplayer: (if (is (application_name) "MPlayer") (begin (pin) (undecorate) ) )
[10:37] <jetsaredim> anyone have experience with cisco vpn
[10:37] <thekidrio> i am not sure about that actually
[10:37] <Cyrus25801> MonsieurBon: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie?highlight=%28devilspie%29 and http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie
[10:37] <thekidrio> i would be shocked if you could not
[10:37] <indigoparrot> Echoes: ok, assume i'm some kind of useless ape, what commands do i need to run to compile it now?
[10:37] <Faugn> leave the undecorate and keep the pin
[10:38] <thekidrio> lemm read something one moment
[10:38] <MonsieurBon> Faugn: an then it shows on every desktop you have?
[10:38] <Faugn> yep
[10:38] <Echoes> indigoparrot, i don't remember, read the manual, man apt-get
[10:38] <indigoparrot> ok
[10:38] <Faugn> MonsieurBon: I put it in ~/.devilspie/mplayer.ds
[10:38] <Random_Transit> mluser-work, yeah....it's a bitch to get rid of...i had to apt-get remove it and then remove everything referring to it from /etc and then grep /var for anything relating to it and zap that too
[10:39] <Random_Transit> question, if i use LVM to merge partitions that already have data on them, will that data get wiped?
[10:39] <imbecile> is there anything that tells when updates are rolled out that is not on my pc?? I got a suspicious 9 updates last night i want to verify
[10:40] <jetsaredim> I seem to be having problems with cicso vpn - it keeps replacing the vpn's resolv.conf with the original one
[10:40] <jetsaredim> anyone seen that before?
[10:40] <MonsieurBon> Faugn: wow, that really does it, can you explain why?
[10:40] <Faugn> MonsieurBon: ?
[10:41] <Faugn> I just followed the documentation/examples
[10:42] <imbecile> is there anything that tells when updates are rolled out that is not on my pc?? I got a suspicious 9 updates last night i want to verify
[10:42] <kane77> hi
[10:42] <MonsieurBon> Faugn: I did not get that from the examples. Muss I missunderstood pin

[10:44] <indigoparrot> Echoes: i have run configure
[10:44] <farski> If I'm setting up a file server using NFS and WebDAV, and I want authentication for both to be the same, do I use LDAP or something else?

[10:46] <Fanskapet> anyone have solved this problem?
[10:46] <thekidrio> fanskapet, that was a bot heh
[10:46] <Random_Transit> question, if i use LVM to merge partitions that already have data on them, will that data get wiped?
[10:47] <Echoes> indigoparrot, that's the right way to recompile the package after modification
[10:47] <indigoparrot> echoes: thanks :)
[10:47] <Echoes> indigoparrot, does it work? i'm talking out of memory
[10:48] <indigoparrot> echoes: on the phone at the mo, will try in a minute

[10:50] <Echoes> Echoes, you must be in the package directory

[10:57] <imbecile> is there anything that tells when updates are rolled out that is not on my pc?? I got a suspicious 9 updates last night i want to verify
[10:58] <Echoess> indigoparrot, i suggest you to play a little with dpkg-buildpackage, read the manual, it's useful knowledge :)
[10:59] <eyelasers> imbecile, can you clarify that?
[10:59] <genii> the man page for dpkg generally is extremely enlightening
[11:00] <j1p> Is there any editor that has syntax highlighting for MIPS? Or an easy way to do it in gedit?
[11:01] <Cryoniq> Hmm anyone know what is needed to play .mkv video files (matroska)?
[11:02] <Cryoniq> wooha netsplit galore...
[11:02] <Crazytales2> whoaaaaaa
[11:02] <Echoess> wtf is netsplit?
[11:02] <rippawallet> netsplit
[11:02] <rippawallet> :D
[11:02] <xelados> How do I make Fluxbox start when Xorg starts without using GNOME or KDE? I tried putting 'exec startfluxbox' in my ~/.xinitrc, but didn't have any luck. Could I get a push in the right direction?
[11:03] <Crazytales2> Echoess: it's when a server loses itc connection with the network
[11:03] <Crazytales2> thus isolating all users connected to the server
[11:03] <Echoess> xelados, cnfigure *dm accordingly
[11:03] <cpk1> nothing beats spam like a netsplit
[11:03] <thekidrio> heh
[11:03] <xelados> I don't have a DM installed.
[11:03] <Echoess> Crazytales2, thanks for enlightenment :)
[11:03] <Faugn> xelados: which session do you choose on startup?
[11:03] <Crazytales2> np
[11:03] <Cryoniq> true.. reminds me of good old days back in the 90's
[11:03] <Faugn> did you give execution right to the file?
[11:04] <Cryoniq> ahum.. guess my question was missed.. :)
[11:04] <xelados> Faugn: I'm not sure. How do I check? I'm on a server installation, so no DM.
[11:04] <Cryoniq> Hmm anyone know what is needed to play .mkv video files (matroska)?
[11:04] <Faugn> xelados: chmod +x ~/.xinitrc
[11:04] <Cryoniq> !mkv
[11:04] <Echoess> xelados, then ~/.xinitrc should work

[11:04] <nexousNET> Hi

[11:04] <imbecile> anybody on dapper get like 15 updates lastnight?
[11:04] <nexousNET> Anyone successfully setup a wpc54g v.2 on ubuntu 6.06?
[11:05] <xelados> Faugn: ~/.xinitrc's contents are nothing but 'exec startfluxbox'
[11:05] <eyelasers> lol, netsplit
[11:05] <genii> xelados If you make some entry to .xinitrc .xinit or .Xsession or so on to run something, put a & after the name.
[11:05] <Cryoniq> wpc54g.. what is that?
[11:05] <Faugn> xelados: add: #! /bin/sh
[11:05] <nexousNET> Cryoniq: a linksys wireless adapter.
[11:05] <eyelasers> imbecile, dunno, I'm not living in the past, lol
[11:05] <j1p> Is there any editor that has syntax highlighting for MIPS? Or an easy way to do it in gedit?
[11:05] <xelados> Faugn: Will do.
[11:05] <Faugn> as the first line, + execution rights
[11:05] <Cryoniq> Ah :) I suspected it was but had to ask :)
[11:05] <Faugn> jip: MIPS?

[11:10] <zerooninja> hey guyz wats ubuntu?? is it linux x86 or linux x86_64
[11:10] <zerooninja> ?
[11:10] <zerooninja> i have edgy
[11:10] <ompaul> zerooninja, both
[11:10] <xelados> Faugn: Hah, nope. Installing now.
[11:10] <Crazytales2> zerooninja: therer are versions available for both archs
[11:10] <zerooninja> so should i just see which one works
[11:11] <zerooninja> lol xD
[11:11] <genii> rpc :)
[11:11] <ompaul> zerooninja, do you plan on doing multimedia stuff?
[11:11] <notgod> hello.
[11:11] <zerooninja> yea kinda i animate ALOT
[11:12] <mc2003> thats a netsplit i suppose?
[11:12] <genii> zerooninja: The default kernel is a plain vanilla type for any i386 box. You can install a more specific kernel later if you like eg: 686 or so
[11:12] <zerooninja> waiting for money so i can get a tablet
[11:12] <zerooninja> wait wat?!
[11:12] <ompaul> zerooninja, multimedia is better on 32bit atm
[11:12] <zerooninja> explain more to me genjj
[11:12] <zerooninja> yea
[11:12] <zerooninja> i downloaded that one
[11:13] <zerooninja> =) i have a amd anthlon 64 tho =P
[11:13] <zerooninja> anyways thanks guyz
[11:13] <xelados> Sweet. Fluxbox loads now. Two last questions and I'll be set:
[11:13] <zerooninja> i'll let you all know if it works, i just went to the ati site, thinking they wouldn't have linux drivers but they proved me wrong =)
[11:13] <xelados> 1) How can I get X to start when I log in, or will I need to login to bash and type 'startx' every time?
[11:14] <xelados> 2) Why doesn't Ctrl+Alt+F# work to get to the ttys? :(
[11:14] <Faugn> xelados: you could install a graphical login manager
[11:15] <genii> zerooninja: If you have an AMD 64 bit based cpu then the i386 kernel works fine. the amd64 distribution still has some odd problems that are being worked out. But anyhow, the i386/586/686 based kernels will still run along great on an AMD
[11:15] <Thug-N-Me> will azureus be installed without java ?
[11:15] <Faugn> xelados: a lightweight one like xdm for example
[11:15] <mikefoo> Hey guys I have ntpd running but my time still drifts off, what am I doing wrong?
[11:15] <Thug-N-Me> i mean if i dont have java installed can i still install azureus ?
[11:15] <mikefoo> time still gets out of sync with time servers
[11:15] <xelados> Faugn: Is it tied to a DE like gdm or kdm?
[11:15] <genii> mikefoo If your system is overclocked that can explain it
[11:15] <eyelasers> Thug-N-Me: no
[11:16] <Faugn> xelados: nope
[11:16] <mikefoo> genii: it isn't
[11:16] <Faugn> it's ugly, but light
[11:16] <Thug-N-Me> eyelasers then how do you explain this ? >>> azureus exec: 40: java: not found
[11:16] <eyelasers> Thug-N-Me try ktorrent :-)
[11:16] <Faugn> :D
[11:16] <adaptr> xelados: update-rc.d xdm defaults will start a graphical login manager on boot
[11:16] <Thug-N-Me> eyelasers i use gnome
[11:16] <menace_> can anyone point me in the direction of the tutorial on how to enable mp3/mpg/etc.. support?
[11:16] <notgod> Okay, I am a FreeBSD user, and I am felling in love with ubuntu.  Great work, and I am really enjoying it...

[11:16] <menace_> thank you
[11:16] <xelados> Faugn: Alright, cool. Thanks a lot. You saved me a lot of headaches. :)
[11:16] <notgod> but the networking on this laptop is completely maddening.
[11:16] <eyelasers> Thug-N-Me - the dependencies system currently allows azureus to be installed against gcj, but it doesn't work
[11:16] <zerooninja> genjj where would i get the kernals?!
[11:16] <menace_> !mp3
[11:16] <ubotu> 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
[11:16] <Faugn> xelados: for the VT problem, do you have the DontVTSwitch option in your xorg.conf?
[11:17] <eyelasers> Thug-N-Me - or your system's just b0rk3d
[11:17] <zerooninja> cuz liek it LAGGING A WHOLE LOT ON COUNTER STRIKE AND STUFF
[11:17] <xelados> I'm not sure, let me check.
[11:17] <eyelasers> zerooninja - kernels? maybe kernel.org?
[11:17] <Thug-N-Me> eyelasers well this is stupid ... if azureus wouldnt run without java ... and i dont have java installed why did it pass the install depends
[11:17] <zerooninja> lol
[11:17] <Thug-N-Me> eyelasers hell yeah i think " ubuntu its broken "
[11:17] <zerooninja> no
[11:18] <genii> mikefoo Other than some european 50hz weirdness vs 60hz north american cycle powering the clock, I don't know. I've seen time acceleration on european systems that were put on a north american poer supply for instance
[11:18] <notgod> I use both wireless and wired networks, and it seems I can only get one or the other to work -- not both.
[11:18] <xelados> Faugn: vim didn't find "Dont" in its search, so I presume it's not there.
[11:18] <notgod> For example, I had wireless working last night, came into work, plugged in the wired network, and it didn't work.
[11:19] <Thug-N-Me> notgod wanna connect with both ? at the same time ?
[11:19] <xelados> Faugn: I have to go to work now though; if you could /msg me the tips I'd be grateful.
[11:19] <notgod> so I had to go to System -> Administration -> Networking and enable the wired network...
[11:19] <Faugn> xelados: ok, it default to off, so I have no other idea
[11:19] <notgod> which broke wireless.  :)
[11:19] <genii> mikefoo conceivable your cmos battery is dying
[11:19] <notgod> (i.e. I no longer get the option to enable wireless in NetworkManager)
[11:20] <pbureau> notgood are you using network-manager-gnome ?
[11:21] <notgod> Thug-N-Me: not connected at the same time, but both configured to work (e.g. not having to go through a half hour process to set up wireless to ahve it break in 10 seconds when I need to get the machine on a wired connection)
[11:21] <notgod> pbureau: yes
[11:21] <notgod> pbureau: I need WPA for my home network.
[11:21] <pbureau> notgod, what chipset you god on that wifi card ?
[11:21] <pbureau> got
[11:21] <daviey> Hi, anybody here access a wireless network that requires TTLS auth?
[11:22] <notgod> pbureau: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1470 DualBand WLAN (rev 02) (according to lspci)
[11:22] <notgod> pbureau: using the ndiswrapper
[11:22] <zerooninja> guyz how do i fix lag in games
[11:22] <zerooninja> like counter strike 1.6
[11:22] <zerooninja> openGL
[11:22] <pbureau> notgod, iwlist <cardid> scanning give you what (ie: ifconfig reports my card as being ra0 so iwlist ra0 scanning)
[11:22] <eyelasers> zerooninja, lots of ways - define lag
[11:23] <notgod> pbureau: it's eth1
[11:23] <zerooninja> when i see someone on my screen
[11:23] <pbureau> notgod,  and ifconfig sees an eth1 ?
[11:23] <eyelasers> zerooninja - do you have a high ping response, i.e. high latency? do you have a low framerate, i.e. choppy?
[11:23] <zerooninja> it starts to jerk a bit
[11:23] <zerooninja> no no jigh ping
[11:23] <zerooninja> hogh*
[11:23] <notgod> pbureau: nope -- unless I ifconfig -a
[11:23] <zerooninja> like i used to get 120 fps with windows
[11:23] <j1p> does anyone know a good editor for mips source code that isn't vi or emacs, I want something with a little bit of syntax highlighting
[11:23] <zerooninja> and now i get 40-70
[11:24] <zerooninja> with linux
[11:24] <zerooninja> ....
[11:24] <notgod> eth1      No scan results
[11:24] <eyelasers> zerooninja, that's choppy? lol - my graphics card sucks :-\
[11:24] <zerooninja> dude
[11:24] <eyelasers> zerooninja, what model card do you have?
[11:24] <zerooninja> something is up with the OS
[11:24] <zerooninja> ati readean X300
[11:24] <zerooninja> SE
[11:24] <pbureau> notgod, okay lets take is a step back if you enter - lswh -class network -  what does it say your card is and what driver is it using (we can take this to #helpya if you like for cut/paste
[11:24] <notgod> pbureau: but I usually dont get any networks fromt his location.
[11:24] <zerooninja> PCI-E
[11:25] <eyelasers> zerooninja, same card as me, lol - you need fglrx to use it right - the open drivers have bad 3-d and also don't work well with shared mem atis
[11:25] <zerooninja> wait urs visiontek?
[11:25] <eternaljoy> eyelasers: how are they after the surgery?
[11:25] <notgod> pbureau: thanks for the help.  Can't seem to find lswh
[11:25] <notgod> bash: lswh: command not found
[11:25] <pbureau> notgod, humm.. sudo ?
[11:26] <eyelasers> eternaljoy - actually, http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Image:Eyelasers.jpg (I think)
[11:26] <eternaljoy> eyelasers: :>)
[11:26] <jrib> notgod: it's lshw
[11:26] <pbureau> opps I am beiung dislectix..lol
[11:26] <zerooninja> eyelasers
[11:26] <zerooninja> how can i fix this lag
[11:26] <notgod> lisdexic, right.  :)  says the wireless interface is disabled.
[11:26] <eyelasers> zerooninja - what drivers are you using?
[11:27] <zerooninja> so far
[11:27] <zerooninja> none that i know of
[11:27] <pbureau> notgod, then the driver = line is empty right ?
[11:27] <zerooninja> (first time with linux)
[11:27] <eyelasers> zerooninja, ok - do you know how to use a terminal?
[11:27] <notgod> pbureau: driver=ndiswrapper
[11:27] <zerooninja> lol yes
[11:27] <notgod> pbureau: I have the 1.8 ndis wrapper in there, and it seems to load on bootup ok.
[11:27] <pbureau> notgod, humm
[11:27] <zerooninja> heere dude oepn a side dialouge
[11:28] <zerooninja> so we dun take up chat space
[11:28] <pbureau> notgod, modprobe -i <driver name> should tell you its loaded already
[11:28] <notgod> pbureau: I also have "blacklist bcm43xx" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[11:29] <Cryoniq> hmm anyone had trouble playing .mkv video files on Ubuntu 6.10? Installed plugin for Gstreamer that had it in it, but when starting movie player resize bigger and it is black and no sound. If I move window I can quickly see video and it flicker back to pitch black again =/
[11:29] <pbureau> notgod,  /join #helpya for a minute lets check stuff out
[11:29] <notgod> pbureau: does the gnome applet, in some way, interfere with the networking control panel?  A lot of the help pages say stuff about clearing out /etc/network/interfaces
[11:30] <hackeron> hey, is it possible to move from 32bit ubuntu to 64bit ubuntu without reinstalling?
[11:30] <wdnvg> hi , im trying to install from livecd..gparted is messing with me , in that it wont let me use / as ext3 and /home as xfs without saying: xfs may not be used on the filesystem containing /boot, but actually I told gparted to use EXT3 as /, so is this some osbcure bug ? ;))

[11:33] <Linkmasta23> is transfer from microsoft to ubuntu easy?
[11:33] <nexousNET> There's no way to actually 'restore' default settings is there in ubuntu
[11:33] <Faugn> nexousNET: depends, settings for what?
[11:34] <nexousNET> Faugn: Well, I've made a lot of changes and added multiple things, that I want completely restored to stock.
[11:34] <jrib> nexousNET: define "things"
[11:34] <Faugn> yes, but what?
[11:34] <ferret_0567> I found a guide
[11:34] <Linkmasta23> can anyone hear me?
[11:34] <ferret_0567> Ubuntu Community Docs are great! : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Edgy?highlight=%28LIRC%29
[11:34] <nexousNET> Nvm, I'm just gonna upgrade it to 6.10
[11:35] <jrib> Linkmasta23: no, but I can read what you type :)
[11:35] <webmaren> my openoffice.org won't start up
[11:35] <Linkmasta23> :P
[11:35] <Linkmasta23> lol
[11:35] <jrib> webmaren: any interesting output when you try to open it from a terminal?
[11:35] <nexousNET> hmm, now to find my 6.10 cd
[11:35] <mrintegrity> anyone know java here please?
[11:35] <Tatster> Hi.  Has anyone tried using 2X terminal server from ubuntu?
[11:36] <jrib> mrintegrity: try ##java

[11:36] <compengi> how to create a network between linux and windows machine?
[11:36] <compengi> sorry linux and linux machine
[11:37] <Faugn> compengi: to share some file?
[11:37] <Faugn> *files
[11:37] <compengi> yes
[11:37] <Faugn> you can use a variety of things, like NFS/SAMBA/...
[11:37] <mistform> compengi, it's called "hard copies" lol
[11:38] <compengi> lol
[11:38] <webmaren> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4638/
[11:38] <terapicodave> hmm strange, edgy's livecd doesn't give me a command line when x fails to start but dapper does, any ideas why that would be?
[11:39] <Linkmasta23> is the transition between windows and ubuntu easy?
[11:39] <terapicodave> Linkmasta23 easy is a relative term
[11:39] <Faugn> Linkmasta23: depends...
[11:39] <shatrat> Linkmasta23, it depends on what you do with your computer.
[11:39] <bruenig> Linkmasta23, depends on you
[11:40] <terapicodave> Linkmasta23 do you ever use notepad or cmd?
[11:40] <jenda> any tips as to how to measure the bandwidth used by IRC?
[11:40] <Tatster> Linkmasta23:  I'm currently about 7 days into switching over to Ubuntu.  So far so good!
[11:40] <Linkmasta23> i have a good knowledge in computers and already use some opensource softwar.
[11:40] <webmaren> jenda: shut off all apps, measure bandwidth. turn on irc, measure bandwidth. mathematics
[11:40] <bruenig> I just dove into it formatted the whole drive, probably not the best advice, but doing that forces you to get it really quick.
[11:41] <bruenig> or I suppose fail miserably and never come back
[11:41] <webmaren> bye guys
[11:41] <terapicodave> Linkmasta23 just try it out, you'll learn how to fix the probs you run into
[11:41] <Tatster> Linkmasta23: you could always try a LiveCD and see how you like it
[11:41] <eltopo> hello
[11:41] <Tatster> That's what I did
[11:42] <Linkmasta23> yeah live cds arent too great (tried slax linux before)
[11:42] <localverb> guys ....I really need your help......I am using headphones but the mic doesn't work....how can I get it working? thanks in advance
[11:42] <jenda> If I could only tell webmaren that I'm simply not gonna shut down IRC.
[11:42] <Faugn> jenda: maybe use iptraf
[11:42] <bruenig> not as a permanent OS but as a try it out and see, it is pretty great
[11:42] <localverb> I am using Edgy
[11:42] <terapicodave> the greatest feature in that new other os is that it lets you shrink partitions to install edgy ;)
[11:43] <Faugn> localverb: did you check the level?
[11:43] <localverb> yes
[11:43] <terapicodave> i'm just about fully switched over to edgy, only run the other in a vm
[11:43] <jenda> Faugn: thx, will check.
[11:43] <localverb> but it doesn't seem to work
[11:43] <localverb> although it works on windows
[11:43] <Faugn> localverb: I have micboost setting on my card, did you check that?
[11:44] <localverb> How to do that?
[11:44] <eltopo> interest
[11:44] <Faugn> using alsamixer in a terminal
[11:44] <Tatster> terapicodave:  I'm also trying to get a VM running with 2X terminal server to publish a couple of legacy apps.  Just having a few probs getting it running!
[11:44] <localverb> Faugn: I am new to ubuntu
[11:45] <Faugn> check gstreamer-properties too, to see if it's configured to use the right input source
[11:45] <localverb> ok I'll check it now
[11:46] <localverb> Faugn: where to find gstream-properties?
[11:47] <Faugn> type gstreamer-properties in a terminal
[11:47] <localverb> Faugn: ok :)
[11:47] <Faugn> or somewhere in the preference menu
[11:47] <Faugn> don't remember which item (it changed in feisty)
[11:48] <m_billybob> hmm, is THIS thing on, now ?
[11:48] <notgod> pbureau is the best.  :)
[11:48] <Crescendo> I'd like to see how long I can keep Ubuntu running on a failing HDD - what commands can I run to be sure filesystem integrity is green?
[11:49] <Faugn> Crescendo: badblocks
[11:49] <m_billybob> has this network always been nickserv, or is this recent ?
[11:49] <localverb> Faugn: Default input plugin ALSA ....This appeared in a window after typing the command in the terminal
[11:49] <Belgain> quick question: how can i track down samba streaming performance problems? When trying to stream mp3s to my laptop from another machine, I get pauses every minute or so of music
[11:50] <Belgain> i don't have the same problem if i play files locally
[11:50] <Faugn> localverb: ok, and did you try alsamixer to check for any mic related setting?
[11:50] <m_billybob> Belgain: first off, whats you throughput speed ?
[11:50] <m_billybob> your*
[11:50] <m_billybob> and line speed to boot
[11:50] <Faugn> Crescendo: and use smartmontools
[11:50] <Belgain> it's on a "b" wifi connection
[11:50] <Belgain> so should be around 5MBps i guess
[11:50] <Belgain> certainly plenty for mp3
[11:51] <m_billybob> have you tuned samba yet ?
[11:51] <frogzoo> Crescendo: you can use fsck, but that only checks the directories, you should install smartmontools which will reveal the whole ugly story
[11:51] <Belgain> nope
[11:51] <pbureau> lol notgod
[11:51] <m_billybob> Belgain: then i would sugest google -> Samba tuning
[11:51] <mistform> damnit.... where am I supposed to go to install a KDE theme?
[11:52] <bruenig> !theme
[11:52] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[11:52] <localverb> Faugn: Yeah it's full but same problem
[11:52] <bruenig> !changethemes
[11:52] <ubotu> [Ubuntu]  Install gnome-themes or go to menu, system settings, appearance. [KDE]  For a good KDE guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu
[11:52] <Faugn> localverb: and nothing to boost the input?
[11:53] <m_billybob> Belgain: as an example, i recently tuned Samba, on a GbE connection, and raised my speeds by about 5x faster
[11:53] <Faugn> it's not muted? ;)
[11:53] <Belgain> a quick file copy test shows that samba throughput between the two machines is over 400 kilobytes per second
[11:53] <Moniker42> anyone know of a good wysiwyg web editor for ubuntu?
[11:53] <m_billybob> that is pretty slow
[11:53] <Belgain> which is confortably an order of magnitude faster than mp3 bandwidth
[11:53] <m_billybob> Belgain: what log level are you using ?
[11:53] <Belgain> ?
[11:53] <Belgain> samba log level?
[11:53] <m_billybob> in smb.conf, what is the log level set to ?
[11:54] <frogzoo> Belgain: but latency for sound is also a big issue
[11:54] <m_billybob> nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

[11:55] <m_billybob> anyhow log level set higher than log level 2 usually seriously degrades Samba performance
[11:55] <mistform> the Login Window setting...
[11:55] <Belgain> log level is 0
[11:55] <m_billybob> its documented
[11:55] <terapicodave> what mp3 client?
[11:55] <m_billybob> ssend / read buffer sizes ?
[11:56] <localverb> Faugn: sorry ...I didn't see your reply quickly......I've boosted it to the max ...but same problem
[11:56] <Faugn> no more ideas, sorry!

[11:57] <Belgain> oh hang on... i can't seem to find a log level parameter in smb.conf..... i've posted it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4642/
[11:57] <Belgain> that's the client smb.conf file
[11:57] <frogzoo> m_billybob: gxine at least lets you increase the read buffer
[11:59] <m_billybob> Belgain: that looks like a stock smb.conf
[12:00] <m_billybob> help on a second, let me fire up the ole edgy box, and ill take a gander
[12:00] <m_billybob> hold on a sec*
[12:00] <obstfliege> Do ypu use HDD/System encryption?
[12:00] <Belgain> ok, i'm using rhythmbox and banshee and neither have a setting for read buffer size... i must have been misremembering when i said i'd changed them
[12:00] <Belgain> thanks!
