[12:07] <robbie_crash> I've done that three times
[12:07] <johnficca> is there a frozen bubble config file somewhere
[12:07] <dhorn> _Tom_: networking an Ubuntu box to a windows network
[12:07] <_Tom_> Heh, sorry, won't be much help :(
[12:07] <mackinac> charles, there should be something about disabling ACPI at one of these links - http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Reduce_boot .... http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Speed_up_boot
[12:08] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: removing 1.4 most likely removed something you need since it was working before hand
[12:08] <cheeseboy16> um.. my desktop is missing
[12:08] <cheeseboy16> help
[12:08] <dhorn> _Tom_: haha, okay, if you know the answer, I'm just trying to enter my username when it is authenticating me but it won't accept it, is there something special I need to do?
[12:08] <jpjacobs> cheeseboy16, explain
[12:08] <dhorn> _Tom_: I'm entering my username in Ubuntu...
[12:08] <cheeseboy16> background and all icons are gone
[12:08] <andre> hey guys,  I've just install nvidia-glx from Lupine, but there is no settings manager for me to set the resolution and multi-monitor like with the .run file from nvidia, can anyone help me?
[12:08] <charles_> is there a way to setup ubuntu to just update itself whenever there is an update availble?
[12:09] <_Tom_> Unless you need to specify the domain first? Like domain\username
[12:09] <_Tom_> I wouldn't really know.
[12:09] <dhorn> alright, i'll give ita  shot
[12:09] <dizzy> is here someone who knows a room where i can talk about video games???
[12:09] <dhorn> thanks
[12:09] <_Tom_> I don't know how much support Edgy has out of the box for Windows domains/
[12:09] <gnomefreak> hajiki: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
[12:09] <dhorn> yeah, it's with vista too which isn't makign things easy
[12:09] <gottatrieit> I've researched it and now I'm thoroughly confused. What is a live cd? Is it an install cd, too or just a live desktop cd?
[12:09] <robbie_crash> gnomefreak: I've removed, complete removed, and complete removed and rebooted befire installing, the only thing that was removed along with it (or that was stated was being removed) was sun-java5-bin which was also reinstalled each time
[12:09] <charles_> gnomefreak, somehow none of the menu icons show up(under the main menu) do you happen to know how to get them back?
[12:10] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: i suggest you install sun-java5-plugin
[12:10] <_Tom_> dhorn: I'd know even less then, heh
[12:10] <gnomefreak> charles_: i have no clue what your issue is
[12:10] <witless> i tried creating a dvd with gnomebaker, but after burning the cd, i insert it into the dvd drive and dmesg tells me "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!"
[12:10] <bruenig> sun-java6-plugin woot
[12:11] <mackinac> charles_, try sudo killall gnome-panel
[12:11] <_Tom_> dhorn: I take it you're not joining a domain then, or are you just trying to connect to a share?
[12:11] <gnomefreak> charles_: try changing your icon theme
[12:11] <darren_derwood> how would i get directx for ubuntu
[12:11] <dhorn> _Tom_: just trying to connect to a share
[12:11] <charles_> The default theme schemas could not be found on your system.  This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly.
[12:11] <_Tom_> darren_derwood: We'd all love to know that.
[12:11] <cables> darren_derwood, you wouldn't...
[12:11] <gnomefreak> darren_derwood: you wouldnt unless you run it in wine
[12:11] <ALEX_PAUL> ubotu: help
[12:11] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:12] <gnomefreak> darren_derwood: directx is nothing on linux
[12:12] <_Tom_> dhorn: Does Linux come with Samba by default?
[12:12] <_Tom_> *Does Ubuntu come with Samba by default
[12:12] <darren_derwood> ok but how
[12:12] <robbie_crash> gnomefreak: same deal
[12:12] <gnomefreak> _Tom_: should have to install it
[12:12] <dhorn> _Tom_: I don't believe so
[12:12] <_Tom_> I thought that.
[12:12] <charles_> gnomefreak, weird, i cant even get into the themes selector... im trying to fix my dads linux box.. never ran into this myself before :)
[12:12] <AngryParsley> what's the package name for svn 1.4? I can't seem to find it with apt-cache search
[12:12] <_Tom_> I'm pretty sure even if you're just reading from a Windows share, you need Samba.
[12:12] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: apt-cache policy sun-java5-plugin
[12:12] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: what version is installed
[12:13] <dhorn> _Tom_: I'll check it out, thanks
[12:13] <_Tom_> :)
[12:13] <gnomefreak> charles_: try to restart the panels. it might help if i knew what you did last before menus went away
[12:13] <cables> I'm trying to install vmware-player on Edgy, but I get an error whenever I install it. VMware Player works fine, but now whenever I install anything, it tries to reconfigure vmware-player. Removing it stops it from reconfiguring vmware-player on a package install, but I'd like to use VMware Player.
[12:13] <dhorn> _Tom_: It says it's for the KDE desktop
[12:13] <robbie_crash> gnomefreak: Installed: 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1
[12:13] <gottatrieit> I was told earlier today to to a boot from a live cd to do an fscsk or something like that to repair a broken system.
[12:13] <_Tom_> Samba? Nono, Samba's a daemon.
[12:13] <charles_> gnomefreak, not sure he ever had them.. he says he did not since the install
[12:14] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: sudo update-alternatives --all  and config all java things
[12:14] <_Tom_> dhorn: It might be that you've found a GUI for Samba, but Samba itself isn't dependant on X
[12:14] <dhorn> _Tom_: nevermind, I looked at smb4k
[12:14] <mister_roboto> AngryParsley: what version comes with the "subversion" package?
[12:14] <charles_> gnomefreak, metacity and metacity-common are both the latest versions
[12:14] <AngryParsley> mister_roboto: 1.3
[12:14] <robbie_crash> dhorn can you ping both machines from each other?
[12:14] <gnomefreak> charles_: make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed
[12:14] <dhorn> _Tom_: that's what I did
[12:14] <_Tom_> dhorn: Ok
[12:14] <AngryParsley> I installed the default subversion package and svn --version gives me 1.3
[12:14] <mister_roboto> AngryParsley: sounds like edgy doesn't have it - not surprising since 1.4 wasn't out yet
[12:14] <_Tom_> And dhorn, try pinging from one machine to the other, as suggested.
[12:14] <charles_> gnomefreak, yup, latest version also
[12:14] <charles_> this is wierd
[12:14] <mister_roboto> AngryParsley: if i remember right.  you could always just download and compile it
[12:15] <_Tom_> If level 2 doesn't work, level 7 won't.
[12:15] <gnomefreak> charles_: killall gnome-panel   what happens after that
[12:15] <AngryParsley> mister_roboto: yeah, I was going to do that if there was no package for it
[12:15] <zero88> does qemu let you use windows apps or just use windows itself???
[12:15] <_Tom_> Anyone shed any light on that?
[12:15] <bimberi> !prevu | jonw, you could try backporting it
[12:15] <ubotu> jonw, you could try backporting it: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[12:15] <AngryParsley> I just really like the convenience of packages
[12:15] <_Tom_> Better yet, I'm being told the file doesn't exist.
[12:15] <gnomefreak> _Tom_: make sure you g0ot the right path and names (check for typos)
[12:15] <AngryParsley> thanks though
[12:16] <_Tom_> gnomefreak:  /etc/apt/sources.lst
[12:16] <robbie_crash> gnomefreak: $ java --version
[12:16] <robbie_crash> Unrecognized option: --version

[12:16] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: its java -version

[12:16] <_Tom_> gnomefreak: I'm booted from the 6.10 desktop CD, btw.
[12:16] <charles_> heh looks kinda boring
[12:16] <AngryParsley> java -version
[12:16] <zero88> ubotu, are you a bot?
[12:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about are you a bot? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:16] <AngryParsley> java hates -- for some reason
[12:16] <zero88> hah i guess so
[12:16] <robbie_crash> boy am I embarrassed
[12:16] <witless> when i insert a dvd created with gnomebaker, dmesg tells me "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" - any idea what's up?
[12:16] <charles_> gnomefreak, is there a way to rebuild gconf from scratch
[12:16] <robbie_crash> thanks
[12:17] <Nomad_O_North> Can I still ask it on this channel?
[12:17] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: java --help is your freind
[12:17] <britt> how do i disable touchpad tapping/
[12:17] <gnomefreak> charles_: shouldnt have to just remove it (make sure its the right file) and restart

[12:17] <gnomefreak> charles_: on edgy?
[12:18] <charles_> yeah

[12:26] <robbie_crash> What's the default/proper location to have programs running from within linux?
[12:26] <robbie_crash> IE: in windows it's x:\program files\program\program.exe
[12:26] <Nomad_O_North> Nope. Microsoft Word.
[12:26] <gnomefreak> robbie_crash: ones that you built or installed outside of repos?
[12:26] <cake> ive never had a nvidia gfx card and ive done my share of fiddling with getting xgl/aiglx/compiz/beryl to work in the past with my ati card
[12:26] <IceTox> Any program for ubuntu that I can use editing .psd files?
[12:26] <nicolah> robbie_crash,  /usr/bin
[12:26] <gnomefreak> Nomad_O_North: yes it supports word
[12:26] <cake> but now i just installed the latest nvidia binary

[12:27] <cake> did gdm restart and the screen went dead
[12:27] <robbie_crash> apparently the azureus repo has issues, so, I've got the tar.gz and want to know where makes the most sense to have it actually run out of

[12:29] <tj_> can someone help with formatting and partitioning my harddisk? I want to try it on my own but i'm afraid I might screw up.
[12:29] <gnomefreak> dhorn: fat or ntfs?
[12:29] <robbie_crash> can you ping from linux to windows and windows to linux?
[12:29] <dhorn> gnomefreak: ntfs

[12:29] <briank> wow thx everyone
[12:29] <gnomefreak> cake: as i said start in your xorg.conf

[12:30] <Cippy> can someone help me get my wireless card to associate with my network?
[12:30] <cake> doh
[12:30] <cake> didnt help
[12:30] <gnomefreak> cake: you installed nvidia drivers from repos?
[12:30] <tj_> @cables no not my first install of ubuntu (used livecd to install it before), this is my first manual usage of fdisk and mkfs
[12:30] <cake> gnomefreak: nah used the latest from nvidia.com
[12:30] <cake> might have been a bad idea obviously
[12:31] <dhorn> gnomefreak: got any suggestions?  I'm using vista
[12:31] <gnomefreak> cake: normally
[12:31] <cables> tj_, oh... can't help you with that one. You can get a livecd of Gparted if you prefer to do it graphically from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:31] <gnomefreak> cake: did you remove l-r-m before installing them?

[12:33] <gnomefreak> not
[12:33] <cake> gnomefreak: no before gdm appears
[12:33] <cake> right when gdm should appear it goes black
[12:33] <gnomefreak> L98t: kerenel update should NOT  have effacted anything since hes not using l-r-m
[12:33] <cake> but from the shell (ssh) it says gdm is running and gdm restart reports its starting "OK"
[12:33] <cake> :D
[12:33] <cake> funny aint it
[12:33] <gnomefreak> cake: gdm should appear or it does appear?
[12:34] <nosilver4u> is the restricted repository broken for anyone else?
[12:34] <cake> anyway, i suspected maybe it used the hdmi output as the default
[12:34] <cake> instead of the dvi
[12:34] <dhorn> robbie_crash: I can get to the authentication screen, but it never wants to accept my password/username
[12:34] <gnomefreak> cake: did you try rebooting?
[12:34] <cake> since the screen went dead i.e. there is no signal
[12:34] <L98t> cake: gnomefreak,  to rule out the kernel update he should boot into the .10 kernel
[12:34] <cake> gnomefreak: yes twice
[12:34] <cake> L98t: ill try that
[12:34] <cake> hold
[12:34] <gnomefreak> L98t: since he is not using ubuntus modules it shount matter
[12:34] <Nomad_O_North> Also, how would I search the whole filesystem of my computer (all directories and sub-directories)?
[12:34] <L98t> oh :$
[12:34] <L98t> sorry
[12:34] <gnomefreak> cake: did you have a kernel update after you installed the drivers?
[12:35] <cake> nope
[12:35] <cake> i just installed it
[12:35] <gnomefreak> ty
[12:35] <cake> but there was no updates to be installed before
[12:35] <Lord_Flasheart> hi, does anyone know how to install freenx server on ubuntu edgy?
[12:35] <L98t> is it possible that nvidia-setting resolution could conflict with ubuntu resolution?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> cake: please in a tty run the uninstaller and reinstall it
[12:35] <cake> just installed the system and did update && upgrade
[12:35] <cake> oki ill try that
[12:35] <cake> uninstaller?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> cake: yes
[12:35] <robbie_crash> dhorn: are you on a workgroup?
[12:35] <robbie_crash> or a domain?
[12:36] <cake> heh
[12:36] <Nomad_O_North> Also, how would I search the whole filesystem of my computer (all directories and sub-directories)?
[12:36] <cake> just booted 10
[12:36] <dhorn> robbie_crash: workgroup
[12:36] <gnomefreak> cake: you would have to read the help but i think its sudo sh ./nvidia.......sh uninstall
[12:36] <dead1ock> I'll think about it
[12:36] <cake> and now i actually got a failure on starting x
[12:36] <gnomefreak> caajust add uninstall to the command you used to install it
[12:36] <gnomefreak> cake: and it is?
[12:37] <jarrod> hello
[12:37] <jarrod> does anyone do any large format printing
[12:37] <gnomefreak> cake: let me guess [EE]  could not load nvidia kernel module
[12:37] <cake> it says fatal error running install command for nvidia
[12:37] <cake> failed to load the nvidia kernel module
[12:37] <cake> aborting..
[12:37] <gnomefreak> :)
[12:37] <cake> hehe
[12:37] <carpediem> I just got done fixing that error
[12:37] <carpediem> wasn't fun
[12:37] <nosilver4u> Nomad_O_North: find / -iname 'searchstringhere'
[12:37] <cake> but thats prolly because the installed compiled the module for the running kernel
[12:37] <cake> which was 11
[12:38] <zero88> where can i get a Nessus username and password
[12:38] <gnomefreak> cake: remove the nvidia drivers that you isntall. (you want to use the 9xxx drivers for beryl?)
[12:38] <cake> gnomefreak: i just want to use mythtv
[12:38] <Nomad_O_North> I ment from the GUI...
[12:38] <carpediem> cake: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:38] <cake> beryl was just for show
[12:38] <robbie_crash> dhorn: one of the problems I've had with windows filesharing is that when there's not identical users on both machines it doesn't want to share the files
[12:38] <gnomefreak> capgadget: no
[12:38] <gnomefreak> capgadget: dont run that
[12:38] <magicbronson_> i just plugged in my ipod for the first time... how can i tell where in /dev it lives?
[12:38] <robbie_crash> dhorn: did you add a new user to your windows box?
[12:38] <gnomefreak> capgadget: seeing as he is NOT using ubuntus drivers that will only hurt things
[12:39] <cake> gnomefreak: so boot back in 11 and reinstall ?
[12:39] <dhorn> robbie_crash: no, but I created the users identical to one another
[12:39] <gnomefreak> capgadget: see me in #ubuntu-effects
[12:39] <carpediem> gnomefreak: you must mean me.  I missed the part where he wasn't using ubuntu drivers
[12:39] <gnomefreak> carpediem: i know hence the reason i said what i said :)
[12:39] <jarrod> anyone using a large format printer
[12:39] <ul1024k> can anyone tell me what's DSDT?
[12:39] <nosilver4u> Nomad_O_North: you can't, because you have to use sudo to search every location, otherwise you get weird errors
[12:39] <cake> gnomefreak: -> ubuntu-effects
[12:39] <robbie_crash> dhorn: so you're using logon X with password Y on both your linux box and your windows one?
[12:40] <EnsignRedshirt> Here's a question about dual monitors attached to a single video card.  Does each display use up a chunk of the video memory?
[12:40] <dhorn> robbie_crash: yes
[12:40] <carpediem> uh...huh
[12:40] <Bugz> gnomefreak, I tried the first step on the webpage, but it didnt work.. Going to try Super Grub Disk, any suggestions??
[12:40] <robbie_crash> dhorn: what error is it giving you?
[12:40] <Alarm> i tried to download gnubg , but somehow the download doesnt go on, Err http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com edgy/universe gnubg-data 0.14.3+20060520-2
[12:40] <dhorn> robbie_crash: it isn't giving me an error, it just keeps kicking me back to the authentication box
[12:40] <Alarm>   Cannot initiate the connection to gr.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:648:2000:de::211). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:648:2000:de::211 80]  .
[12:40] <Alarm> the point is that update works pretty fine without a problem
[12:40] <gnomefreak> Bugz: nope (normally 18 is a reinstall (grub or ubuntu)
[12:40] <Nomad_O_North> What is restricted from being searched if I don't use "sudo"?
[12:41] <Bugz> gnomefreak, I dont understand..
[12:41] <carpediem> EnsignRedshirt: well, the video memory it takes to run 2560x1024 is obviously more than 1280x1024 so...yeah , in a way
[12:41] <EnsignRedshirt> I ask because the maximum resolution of my video card is 1600x1200, and that is the resolution of the monitor I am currently using.  So is it still possible to add a second monitor?
[12:41] <robbie_crash> dhorn: how are you getting to the share?
[12:41] <carpediem> EnsignRedshirt: is it Nvidia?
[12:42] <nosilver4u> Nomad_O_North: anything that your user doesn't have read permissions on (/root and probably a whole host of others that escape my memory right now)
[12:42] <EnsignRedshirt> carpediem: Yes. GeForce FX 5600
[12:42] <dhorn> robbie_crash: places>network>share
[12:42] <carpediem> EnsignRedshirt: yes, that card has Twinview.  The max resolution they report is per display
[12:42] <EnsignRedshirt> carpediem: It has DVI and VGA outputs
[12:42] <Nomad_O_North> So, would you say that things in /usr/bin would be restricted?
[12:43] <Math^> I have got an external usb-harddrive, but I cant write on it, only with root-permissions, how can I chown the drive (or something) to my name? someone?
[12:43] <nosilver4u> Nomad_O_North: one thought, you could try 'sudo nautilus' (assuming you're using gnome) and search from there
[12:43] <jarrod> anyone clued in about printing
[12:43] <Nomad_O_North> Ah.
[12:43] <EnsignRedshirt> carpediem: Ah, cool. Thanks.
[12:43] <Nomad_O_North> Thankyou.
[12:43] <Nomad_O_North> Now for the next problem...
[12:43] <robbie_crash> dhorn: is the user you're trying to log in as an administrator or limited user?
[12:44] <dhorn> robbie_crash: admin
[12:44] <gh0st> so which is the best (working out of the box) LIGHTWEIGHT linux distro for a secondary machine?
[12:44] <nosilver4u> hmm, except that doesn't seem to be recursive
[12:44] <rmd_> gh0st: they can all be as lightweight as you want them to be
[12:44] <Bugz> how do I burn an ISO image to a cd?
[12:44] <gh0st> rmd_: i mean out of the box
[12:44] <Uncle> does anyone know why when i modprobe my tv card to change the card number it stays 0 unknown/generic. It happens know matter what number i use
[12:44] <witless> what do i have to do to write a dvd that ubuntu can read??
[12:44] <Nomad_O_North> My monitor keeps powering down after a short period of me not moving the mouse. How can I stop this annoyance?
[12:45] <rmd_> Bugz: under which OS?
[12:45] <Bugz> not the actual file.. but the ISO's contents
[12:45] <Alarm> is there any backgammon application that connects to a game server ?
[12:45] <Bugz> Ubuntu
[12:45] <Bugz> Edgy EFT
[12:45] <unop> gh0st,  fluxbuntu maybe
[12:45] <rmd_> oh the contents of the .iso.. dunno
[12:45] <nosilver4u> gh0st: are you wanting gui, or server?
[12:45] <gh0st> rmd_: so that on first install, it only installs the minimum, all lightweight
[12:45] <EnsignRedshirt> Bugz: K3B works for me, but Nautilus can do it too, I hear.
[12:45] <gh0st> nosilver4u: a gui, but BASIC (even fluxbox is ok)
[12:45] <Bugz> EnsignRedshirt, Where do I get this?
[12:45] <nosilver4u> gh0st: ditto on fluxbuntu then
[12:46] <gh0st> does it come with "light" pack?
[12:46] <EdgEy> Bugz,start -> system -> nautilus, and search
[12:46] <robbie_crash> dhorn: are you getting the prompt that asks for user name/workgroup/password?
[12:46] <vblanton> anyone know what was with the last kernel update? seems to have broken my nvidia drivers (mismatched version problem).
[12:46] <gh0st> meaning only install small apps, like NO openoffice etc...?
[12:46] <dhorn> robbie_crash: it's actually username/domain/password, but yes
[12:46] <dhorn> robbie_crash: I thinkw e're talking abotu the same one
[12:46] <Nomad_O_North> My monitor keeps powering down after a short period of me not moving the mouse. How can I stop this annoyance?
[12:46] <robbie_crash> yeah that'
[12:46] <Roadrunner1985> !ntfs-3g
[12:46] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[12:46] <robbie_crash> s it, my bad
[12:46] <rmd_> gh0st: why cant you just install a standard installation and then remove all teh stuff you dont want?
[12:47] <robbie_crash> dhorn: are you sure that you've got the right wokgroup name in therE?
[12:47] <gh0st> rmd_ the problem is, i don't know WHAT i don't want
[12:47] <gh0st> only what i WANT
[12:47] <nosilver4u> vblanton: seems to be that the kernel was updated from the security repository, but the restricted-modules are not avialable for that kernel version yet
[12:47] <dhorn> robbie_crash: I've tripple checked it
[12:47] <robbie_crash> like mshome instead of workgroup?
[12:47] <EnsignRedshirt> Bugz: If in Nautilus you right-click on the .iso, you should see the option "Write to disc"
[12:47] <vblanton> Nomad_O_North, perhaps in the screensaver options? it could just be a black screensaver
[12:47] <unop> Nomad_O_North,  use the gnome-screesaver-preferences to change the idle timeout
[12:47] <rmd_> gh0st: so it stands to reason that you could just erase everything that isn't what you know you want
[12:47] <dbcooper> I am looking for some help to get tsclient to auto logon. I have it auto starting but cannot get it to auto login
[12:47] <gh0st> nosilver4u: which would you recommend, WITHOUT GUI?
[12:47] <robbie_crash> dhorn: I'm out of ideas then, I'd say yeah, check #samba
[12:47] <dhorn> robbie_crash: I should be putting the workgroup name in the domain field, correct?
[12:48] <robbie_crash> it worked fine for me on the two windows boxes in my house
[12:48] <Bugz> EnsignRedshirt, Im using ubuntu..
[12:48] <robbie_crash> yeah
[12:48] <nostrand> hi, I have problems with my Radeon 7000 pci. (radeon driver). The performance is terrible. Not even Quake2 isn't playable.
[12:48] <vblanton> anyone having nvidia driver issues all of a suddeN?
[12:48] <EnsignRedshirt> Bugz: Oh, and "Nautilus" is just the name of the standard ubuntu file browser (in case you didn't know).
[12:48] <Nomad_O_North> Already tried it. Also went in under power management. It STILL does it.
[12:48] <Bugz> oh
[12:48] <gh0st> rmd_ but there could be a lot of stuff i would never use, but still installed
[12:48] <robbie_crash> vblanton: what kind of issues?
[12:48] <gh0st> which i wouldn't know
[12:48] <vblanton> nostrand, have you tried using ati's drivers?
[12:48] <Bugz> EnsignRedshirt, Thanks
[12:48] <mello__yello> Hey can anybody give me a hand with my connection issues...  I am wired on a ZIO router and I can connect to the internet but it is extremely slow - almost like it disconnects and reconnects (all the time)
[12:48] <EdgEy> gh0st how short on hdd space are you
[12:48] <EnsignRedshirt> Bugz: No problem.
[12:48] <vblanton> robbie_crash, kernel and driver version mismatch with new kernel security update
[12:48] <EdgEy> they shouldn't affect performance
[12:48] <nostrand> vblanton: nope, and i prefer not to
[12:48] <unop> dbcooper,  there's issues with tsclient handling passwords -- it doesnt seem to use them properly when logging on .. perhaps you could use rdesktop and the command-line to have a auto-startup command
[12:48] <rmd_> the standard ubuntu installation doesn't come with all that much installed, really.  removing the excess is easy.. and then you can just apt-get autoremove and autoclean
[12:49] <kitche> vblanton: yes you can use the old kernel that you had before the update or install nvidia manually
[12:49] <rmd_> it took me all ove 10 minutes earlier today
[12:49] <robbie_crash> vblanton: I had that, you need to update your restricted modules
[12:49] <gh0st> EdgEy: it would be nice if it wouldn't take much spac, let's say <1Gb
[12:49] <robbie_crash> and probably your nvidia drivers as well
[12:49] <witless> so, ubuntu can't burn dvd's.
[12:49] <vblanton> robbie_crash, is the update available yet?
[12:49] <EdgEy> gh0st erm the standard install takes <1Gb
[12:49] <EdgEy> or at least not much over
[12:49] <nostrand> vblanton: and i don't think the chipset is supported
[12:49] <gh0st> 3 Gb for me
[12:49] <vblanton> robbie_crash, i can' see it here
[12:49] <gh0st> EdgEy: well anyway let's say <500mb
[12:50] <vblanton> nostrand, well, I'm not too sure but I don't think the open ati drivers have full 3d support.
[12:50] <robbie_crash> vblanton: can't see what there?
[12:50] <vblanton> robbie_crash, the update isn't available yet
[12:50] <robbie_crash> just do apt-get update / upgrade
[12:50] <Nomad_O_North> Anyone know why my monitor keeps powering down?
[12:50] <_Tom_> Guys, I'm having a problem installing dmraid via apt-get. It's a universal package in edgy, and I've made sure that the path to the universal packages is uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.lst .. Ran apt-get update, but still I can't install dmraid :S
[12:50] <rmd_> gh0st: what's your obsession with getting < 500mb?
[12:50] <nostrand> vblanton: hmm, i'll try in lower bit depth
[12:50] <gh0st> well i just figured out about VECTOR LINUX, seems nice as lightweight
[12:50] <EnsignRedshirt> witless: Why do you say that?
[12:50] <Wyzard> witless: Can't burn DVDs?
[12:50] <gh0st> rmd_ what's your problem telling me no concrete solution?
[12:51] <vblanton> nostrand, good luck. i've only used an ati card once and it worked with the proprietary drivers.  try searching the wiki for your ati model and see what it says
[12:51] <dbcooper> unop, thats the way I thought I was going to have to head. I am trying to setup an idiot proof box for terminal services so we can get rid of the MS tax.
[12:51] <Wyzard> witless: FWIW, I don't have an Ubuntu box with a DVD burner, but I've burned DVDs just fine in Debian
[12:51] <vblanton> robbie_crash, ok, i'll give it a shot
[12:51] <rmd_> gh0st: i don't have a problem telling you that there is no concrete solution.  it's up to you.  i'm just asking why it matters that you get under 500 mb?  are you up against disk issues?
[12:51] <fotf> Hey, can someone help a newbie install WINE on Edgy?
[12:51] <EdgEy> fotf, it's pretty much apt-get install wine... from terminal
[12:51] <rmd_> fotf: http://www.winehq.com and read the instructions for ubuntu
[12:52] <fotf> I tried
[12:52] <LjL> !wine
[12:52] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:52] <vblanton> fotf, if you want the newest version that do what rmd_ jus said :)
[12:52] <LjL> or these instructions, maybe
[12:52] <fotf> I can't run it for some reason
[12:52] <gh0st> rmd_ i just want a LIGHTWEIGHT linux. of course if it's 600mb, then it's fine, it's just that normally lightweight = small size!
[12:52] <EdgEy> at least that's how it worked for me... on feisty though. heh
[12:52] <jrib> fotf: you can't run it or you can't install it?
[12:52] <LjL> !elaborate | fotf
[12:52] <ubotu> fotf: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[12:52] <vblanton> robbie_crash, nope. nothing new available
[12:52] <Falladir> where is the Ubuntu art team?
[12:52] <vblanton> !wine
[12:52] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:52] <Falladir> I need to speak with them
[12:52] <fotf> Well I need like
[12:52] <fotf> hold on
[12:53] <rmd_> gh0st: ok.  i was just asking.  you're probably going to end up installing a distro and erasing a bunch of crap.  try zen linux or damn small linux
[12:53] <jrib> Falladir: try #ubuntu-artwork
[12:53] <fotf> winesetuptk
[12:53] <Falladir> thanks!
[12:53] <gh0st> rmd_ thanks, i will probably go for dsl or vector
[12:53] <alex_qwe> hello
[12:53] <Falladir> the default window decorations for Feisty have some warts
[12:53] <rmd_> fotf: have you installed the wine binaries?
[12:53] <LjL> fotf: eeew
[12:53] <vblanton> robbie_crash, guess i'll go back to the old version.. this problem would seriously SUCK for linux-newbies. having there X break all of a sudden ... well.. not fun.
[12:53] <alex_qwe> have a problem with ubuntu 6.10
[12:54] <LjL> fotf: start by just *installing* wine, leave that cra^W commodities for later
[12:54] <fotf> All I know is apt-get install wine
[12:54] <witless> EnsignRedshirt: Wyzard
[12:54] <alex_qwe> any help?
[12:54] <fotf> like I said, newb
[12:54] <rmd_> fotf: forget that
[12:54] <chrismhampson> is it advisable to upgrade to 7.04 yet or is it still very unstable?
[12:54] <LjL> fotf: yeah, and if you have Universe enabled, that installs WINE quite fine.
[12:54] <kitche> Falladir: well #ubuntu+1 will be helpful for you then
[12:54] <rmd_> fotf: go to http://www.winehq.com and read the instruction
[12:54] <witless> EnsignRedshirt: Wyzard: i've created dvd's with gnomebaker but ubuntu is unable to read them
[12:54] <LjL> fotf: did it give you any errors?
[12:54] <alex_qwe> i installed it on external sata drive
[12:54] <vblanton> gh0st, a super lightweight distro is DSL (damn small linux)
[12:54] <dbcooper> But in other news finally got wireless working on the idiot proof box.
[12:54] <rmd_> you have to enable another repository
[12:54] <kitche> chrismhampson: it will be unstbale until it comes out
[12:54] <vblanton> gh0st, you could also try a minimum ubuntu install from the alternative disc
[12:54] <alex_qwe> and when i selcet the ubuntu to load from the grub menu
[12:54] <witless> when i insert the dvd, i get this in dmesg:  cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
[12:55] <alex_qwe> i get just a blinking _
[12:55] <gh0st> vblanton: is there one for flubuntu?
[12:55] <dbcooper> I cannot get it to auto connect though using wifi-radar. I have to go in and manually connect
[12:55] <iltomee> hi, i added a dir to my PATH, but it is not there when echo $PATH, can anyone help?
[12:55] <witless> when i try to mount it, i get:  attempt to access beyond end of device // isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdc, iso_blknum=16, block=16
[12:55] <fotf> Building dependency tree
[12:55] <Wyzard> witless: Sounds like maybe a problem with gnomebaker, though I haven't used it myself
[12:55] <fotf> Reading state information... Done
[12:55] <fotf> E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/wine.budgetdedicated.com_apt_dists_edgy_main_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)
[12:55] <fotf> That'
[12:55] <alex_qwe> anyone/
[12:55] <fotf> *That's the error I get
[12:55] <Wyzard> witless: I've burned Fedora DVDs with Nautilus's built-in burning support and successfully installed Fedora from them
[12:55] <chrismhampson> kitche, is there a virtualisation prog I can use in ubuntu to test feisty?
[12:56] <yommb> chris : vmware maybe ?
[12:56] <vblanton> gh0st, actually. now that I think about it, i'm not 100% sure that there is a minimal install. but if flubuntu has an alternative install disc, then it would be there
[12:56] <witless> Wyzard: i tried creating an iso with gnomebaker and then using nautilus to burn it.  burn was successful but still couldn't read it
[12:56] <iltomee> i added it to bash_profile, anyone?
[12:56] <kitche> chrismhampson: many vmware qemu I prefer virtualbox myself
[12:56] <yommb> it's free :)
[12:56] <rmd_> fotf: did you use synaptic or the console to attempt to install?
[12:56] <Wyzard> witless: so apparently gnomebaker is creating bad isos
[12:56] <EnsignRedshirt> witless: I don't have a DVD burner, so I can't state from personal experience that it can't be done, but it seems *highly* unlikely.  Try k3b.
[12:56] <vblanton> adios everyone. be well
[12:56] <fotf> terminal
[12:56] <chrismhampson> yommb, I was thinking something free that I can use with any linux ISO...
[12:56] <Wyzard> witless: Try using nautilus's burner to create the iso too...  see if that works
[12:57] <rmd_> fotf: ok.  i think you typed something wrong.  there shouldn't be a wine.budgetdedicated
[12:57] <not_a_k> I did a minimal server install of dapper. What package can I get to install apt-get to install X11?
[12:57] <chrismhampson> kitche, doesn't fedora have built-in virtualisation?
[12:57] <hajiki> hey i tried sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so to change my usplash from the KDE one to the original, but now theres no usplash at boot time... help!
[12:57] <dbcooper> chrismhampson: I used vmware to test and the only issue I had was connecting to an exchange server for email
[12:57] <nosilver4u> does anyone know when the restricted repository will be back online?
[12:57] <yommb> chris : yup , vmware ; check uot their free ( i think it's called EXP ) server !
[12:57] <fotf> rmd_: I copied and pasted
[12:57] <rmd_> fotf: k
[12:57] <Wyzard> not_a_k: afaik, if you install "ubuntu-desktop", that'll basically turn the server install into the desktop install
[12:57] <chrismhampson> yommb, thanks
[12:57] <yommb> ;)
[12:57] <mindstate> anyone know how i can get my palm pilot recognized? having some trouble
[12:58] <rmd_> fotf: all i can say is start from step 1 and go through all the steps again.  i did it all yesterday and it worked fine.
[12:58] <not_a_k> Wyzard: but I'd rather not install gnome and such. just a basic xserver and a window manager
[12:58] <Wyzard> yommb: It used to be called ESX but when they made it free-of-charge they renamed it to just "VMware Server"
[12:58] <LjL> fotf: well, you copied and pasted wrong... the line is  deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main , and it works (if you're on Edgy, of course)
[12:58] <dbcooper> mindstat, usb or serial cradle
[12:58] <mindstate> dbcooper: its usb
[12:58] <rmd_> fotf: yeah.  somewhere down the line you put in a wrong text string.
[12:58] <witless> Wyzard: any idea how to blank a dvd-rw with nautilus?
[12:59] <mindstate> dbcooper: when i run a lsubs it doesnt show
[12:59] <mindstate> lsusb
[12:59] <Wyzard> not_a_k: Maybe you'd be intersted in xubuntu, then...  it's XFCE
[12:59] <fotf> LjL: badh: deb: command not found
[12:59] <dbcooper> mindstate: I had some issues with usb, I changed to serial and was fine after following the man page
[12:59] <eternaljoy> anyone here running Edgy on a core 2 duo processor?
[12:59] <LjL> fotf... that's a line you have to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:59] <Wyzard> witless: For CDs, when you tell it to burn it asks you if you want to erase or eject to put in a different disc...  as a guess, it'd probably do that for a DVD too
[01:00] <GenNMX> With x.org, does anyone know what it treats a VGA, DVI, and TV-OUT card with radeon drivers? The manpages don't say specifically if the TV-OUT port is a clone of one of the other ports, or if it can act on its own.
[01:00] <fotf> LjL: and how do I do that?
[01:00] <mindstate> dbcooper: guess i wont be syncing then cause i dont have a serial cord :-/
[01:00] <shadowhywind> What is the command to have an ipod or usb thumb drive mount.. It is not automatically mounting
[01:00] <bard> i've added a VPN with gnome-network-manager but how do i start it?
[01:00] <Wyzard> eternaljoy: I'm running Debian Sid on a Core 2 Duo E6600, if that's any help
[01:00] <LjL> fotf, if you got that error that you mentioned, it means that you *already* did it (though with something wrong, i suppose).
[01:00] <dbcooper> mindstate: do you have bluetooth?
[01:00] <mindstate> dbcooper: no
[01:00] <Wyzard> eternaljoy: My Ubuntu box is a 32-bit Athlon though
[01:00] <mindstate> dbcooper: its an older Zire 31
[01:01] <LjL> fotf:  E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/wine.budgetdedicated.com_apt_dists_edgy_main_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)   <--- how could you possibly have got this error if you didn't *already* edit your repository list?
[01:01] <mindstate> dbcooper: only supports infrared
[01:01] <dbcooper> mindstate: not a laptop either is it?
[01:01] <mindstate> dbcooper: no .desktop
[01:01] <fotf> LjL: Yeah, but then, I can't compile it w/ this:
[01:01] <wrox> hi..
[01:01] <GenNMX> With x.org, does anyone know what it treats a VGA, DVI, and TV-OUT card with radeon drivers? The manpages don't say specifically if the TV-OUT port is a clone of one of the other ports, or if it can act on its own. Alternatives, does anyone here use TV-OUT on their video card?
[01:01] <rmd_> fotf: you need to fix your repository list
[01:02] <fotf> apt-get --build source wine
[01:02] <fotf> Arg
[01:02] <LjL> fotf: compile?
[01:02] <LjL> fotf: why on earth would you compile it?
[01:02] <rmd_> holy crap
[01:02] <rmd_> LjL: he's confused.
[01:02] <fotf> yeah, I'm just reading it off the tutorial
[01:02] <LjL> fotf: look, type  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , select all the text, and post it to the pastebin
[01:02] <LjL> !pastebin > fotf    (fotf, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:02] <rmd_> fotf: you need to fix your repository list.  you've broken it
[01:02] <fotf> http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb << This thing
[01:02] <fotf> ouch
[01:02] <wrox> pls anyone knows - is the open source radeon driver in Xorg anyhow dependent on the radeon character device in the kernel?
[01:02] <fotf> kk
[01:03] <rmd_> fotf: that's the right place.  and it works.
[01:03] <fotf> !pastebin
[01:03] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:03] <rmd_> after you post it to pastebin let us know the url it gives you
[01:04] <superdave_> ?list
[01:04] <superdave_> list
[01:04] <LjL> rmd_: hmm, the instructions on that page complicate things though, because they suggest using sources.list.d entries rather than just adding the line to sources.list
[01:04] <LjL> superdave_: ?

[01:05] <_Tom_> Ok, having problems install the dmraid package via apt-get, under a chroot shell.
[01:05] <_Tom_> *installing
[01:05] <xerio> can anyone give me some pointers on installing Battlefield 2142 under ubuntu?
[01:05] <sleepy723> how do I uninstall completely my graphics driver>
[01:05] <rmd_> LjL: yeah, i know.  but still.  they work. ;)
[01:05] <EnsignRedshirt> LjL: In theory, those instruction simplify the installation :)
[01:05] <superdave_> Trying to get info on aotu connecting with wifi-radar at boot
[01:05] <LjL> rmd_: which seems indeed to be what he did, since his sources.list makes no mention of wine repositories
[01:05] <_Tom_> My sources.lst has the universal package lines uncommented, and has supposedly updated .. but it still says the package isn't there.
[01:05] <littlegator> Is ubuntu.com loading slow for anyone else?
[01:05] <LjL> EnsignRedshirt: err, yeah i suppose so, except that now they aren't working for him, and hist sources.list paste is thereby useless =)
[01:06] <_Tom_> If I'm not using a chroot'd shell, dmraid installs fine (though that's only to a live CD filesystem)
[01:06] <mindstate> dbcooper: i've got it working now.. thanks
[01:06] <unop> _Tom_,  here's what i use - http://pastebin.ca/348620
[01:06] <LjL> fotf: do an  ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ 
[01:06] <wrox> /usr/lib/dri/radeon_dri.so  <---> /lib/modules/<kernel.ver>/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko   <--- do these depend on each other?
[01:06] <LjL> fotf: do you see files that relate to wine in there?
[01:06] <fotf> winehq.list
[01:07] <unop> wrox,  do an ls -l on each -- see if they symlink each other and whether the filesize is the same
[01:07] <`k> hello people
[01:07] <rmd_> put the contents of winehq.list into another pastebin
[01:07] <_Tom_> unop: I'll give that a go, thanks
[01:07] <LjL> fotf:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list , and pastebin that
[01:08] <sleepy723> how do I uninstall completely my graphics driver>
[01:08] <littlegator> Since Ubuntu.com is going amazingly slow, does anyone know if it's possible to edit transparency of windows?
[01:09] <LjL> sleepy723: i suppose it would depend on *what* your graphics driver is
[01:09] <sleepy723> nvidia
[01:09] <LjL> sleepy723: and you're using the binary driver?
[01:09] <sleepy723> yeah
[01:10] <fotf> wtf. it says I'm not Authenticated
[01:10] <LjL> sleepy723:  sudo apt-get --purge autoremove nvidia-glx  should uninstall it as completely as it gets. note that it's quite likely that your X won't start after you do that.
[01:10] <geemy> hiyas
[01:10] <`k> any rich people here?pls send me a copy of ubuntu here in philippines..its been 3 months and i still got no free cd shipit.ubuntu here...i email and order them twice...still got no cds.... =/ with a good heart,msg me please... thanks
[01:10] <unop> littlegator,  doing fancy cosmetic things like that is the last thing you want to do if the interface is slow or lagging
[01:10] <rogueChsbrgr> does anyone out there know of a good cmd line SMTP mail app?
[01:10] <LjL> fotf: ? where?
[01:10] <rmd_> uh
[01:10] <magicbronson_> i just plugged in FAT-formatted ipod with "disk use" enabled and all dmesg says is "new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10". how can i tell where in /dev it lives?
[01:10] <littlegator> unop: It's not the interface, I can load other webpages fine, ubuntu is just going slow
[01:10] <sleepy723>  how can I be sure it's binary
[01:10] <rmd_> rogueChsbrgr: fetchmail with pine?
[01:10] <geemy> omg i am sooo gald to see such a full room
[01:10] <littlegator> ubuntu.com*
[01:11] <rogueChsbrgr> never heard of pine
[01:11] <LjL> sleepy723: type  grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf   -- but anyway, why would you want to "remove it completely", if you don't even know what driver it *is*?
[01:11] <unop> littlegator, ohh, my bad :) are you using gnome?
[01:11] <Aleksandersen> Hi, I have a question about KMail. I have just setup an IMAP account in KMail, and right next to unopned (though previolsuy read) messages I see two question marks. When I zoom in on them it looks like a keychain and a paper in the background of the two question marks. When I open the emails in KMail the two question marks dissapears. http://bildr.no/view/37362 - screen shot. Does anyone knows what those two icons are all about?
[01:11] <littlegator> unop: yes, I am
[01:11] <fotf> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5339/
[01:11] <rmd_> rogueChsbrgr: then you really haven't even looked for a program, have you?
[01:11] <fotf> That's what happened
[01:11] <_Tom_> unop: That didn't make any difference I'm afraid. I don't think the sources.lst is at fault.
[01:11] <geemy> i am tryiing to get apache configed
[01:11] <xerio> has anyone gotten the game Battlefield 2142 to work under ubuntu?
[01:12] <geemy> and out thru the router too
[01:12] <littlegator> unop: at least, I think I am >_>
[01:12] <geemy> do i take a number or something?
[01:12] <LjL> fotf, you're logged in as root. that is the problem. why are you logged in as root?
[01:12] <geemy> :)
[01:12] <rmd_> uhhhh
[01:12] <_Tom_> I am currently following the FakeRAIDHowTo .. And I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto my fakeRAID array.
[01:12] <rmd_> wow.  why on earth are you logged in as root?
[01:12] <_Tom_> So installing everything manually.
[01:12] <geemy> i need to be
[01:12] <LjL> fotf, surely you've heard of the fact that Ubuntu uses sudo and logging in as root is not a good idea if you don't completely know what you're doing?
[01:12] <LjL> !sudo > fotf    (fotf, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:12] <geemy> to have acess to the apache folder
[01:12] <`k> geemy sweet =)
[01:12] <_Tom_> And at the moment I've chrooted'd terminal to /target
[01:12] <nosilver4u> can anyone else check if the 'restricted' repositories are broken for them too?
[01:13] <LjL> fotf: log out of that shell, and any root shell you have open, and type that command again
[01:13] <geemy> ok so how do i get aceess
[01:13] <geemy> as me
[01:13] <fotf> LjL: I still have to Sudo right?
[01:13] <_Tom_> And for some god-unknown reason it won't let me find dmraid as an installable package. Yet on another terminal, it says 'it's fine, it's already installed'
[01:13] <LjL> fotf: what was the command i gave you?
[01:13] <unop> littlegator,  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20769
[01:13] <littlegator> thanks
[01:13] <LjL> fotf:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list . as you see, no sudo here. there's gksudo, and that's quite enough. and no root logins.
[01:13] <unop> _Tom_,  i have to make sure but did you update apt after editing the sources.list ?
[01:13] <_Tom_> Yes.
[01:13] <geemy> i am so new to it there wont be much in me helping at this pint
[01:13] <geemy> point
[01:14] <killown> kde4 works fine in kubuntu?
[01:14] <fotf> Tried that before becoming root
[01:14] <ckern> I was wondering if someone can recommend video editing software for Ubuntu.  It doesn't need to be as complicated as Final Cut Pro, more along the lines of iMovie
[01:14] <unop> _Tom_,  what package are you trying to install?
[01:14] <_Tom_> dmraid
[01:14] <geemy> so if i shouldnt have to log on as root
[01:14] <LjL> killown: as fine as a pre-alpha version of something not yet showing any new features can work, i suppose
[01:14] <_Tom_> Works fine when working on the normal file system
[01:14] <geemy> then i must have to gain access as me
[01:14] <geemy> correct?
[01:14] <_Tom_> But for installing ubuntu manually, I need to be chroot'd to /target
[01:14] <killown> ljl certo!
[01:14] <geemy> i made it thru the install somehow
[01:15] <_Tom_> And from that terminal .. I'm told dmraid isn't a package that exists
[01:15] <geemy> and i get the apache generated page
[01:15] <LjL> fotf: you tried it before becoming root? and you got the same error?
[01:15] <geemy> i will be here till i get my answers
[01:15] <geemy> :)
[01:15] <rmd_> jebus, is there a way to turn joins/parts/signoffs off in epic4/LiCe?
[01:15] <_Tom_> Bearing in mind there's VERY little installed in /target
[01:15] <fotf> LjL: Yeah...
[01:15] <unop> _Tom_,  so you installing dmraid in the chroot?
[01:15] <_Tom_> Yes
[01:15] -`k:#ubuntu- Any rich people here?pls send me a copy of ubuntu here in philippines..its been 3 months and i still got no free cd shipit.ubuntu here...i email and order them twice...still got no cds.... =/ with a good heart,msg me please... thanks
[01:15] <LjL> fotf: uhm, please pastebin the whole thing like you did now with the root flavour
[01:15] <nosilver4u> could someone please take 2 seconds and check the restricted repository, or just tell me that it's down right now?
[01:15] <unop> _Tom_,  errm, did you edit sources.list in the chroot?
[01:15] <_Tom_> Yeah, that's the one I've been editing :0
[01:16] <_Tom_> * :)
[01:16] <_Tom_> At one point I used cmp to make sure it was the same as the one that came on the CD
[01:16] <`k> sorry
[01:16] <_Tom_> (With universal packages uncommented, as they are by default)
[01:16] <fotf> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5342/
[01:16] <_Tom_> Tried yours and it made no difference.
[01:16] <_Tom_> Would you like me to paste the output of the apt-get update ?
[01:16] <_Tom_> I think it's important, from the look of it :S
[01:16] <unop> _Tom_,  well, if you did everything right -- apt-cache polixy dmraid should have something for you
[01:16] <_Tom_> ok
[01:17] <zooted_> Is there a way to get synaptic to stop asking for the install CD-Rom and fetch all packages from the net?
[01:17] <unop> _Tom_,  because it does exist  http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=dmraid&searchon=names&subword=1&version=edgy&release=all
[01:17] <unop> _Tom_,  apt-cache policy dmraid
[01:17] <LjL> fotf: had you done anything as root (or with "sudo" instead of "gksudo") *before* typing that command? (and after you successfully pastebinned your sources.list)
[01:17] <BigMac> what would be the command to uninstall the app "mail-notification"
[01:17] <EdgEy> `k, could you not have downloaded the iso on dialup in 3 months
[01:17] <fotf> nope
[01:17] <BigMac> then the command to reinstall
[01:17] <rmd_> BigMac: sudo apt-get remove mail-notification ?
[01:17] <iltomee> i am using a macbook, and one of my speakers sounds funny, any ideas how to solve this???
[01:18] <fotf> I closed all my terminal windows, tried it again, and did the same thing again, except using Konsole
[01:18] <unop> zooted_,  edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the entry for apt-cdrom
[01:18] <BigMac> k
[01:18] <_Tom_> root@ubuntu:/# apt-cache policy dmraid
[01:18] <_Tom_> W: Unable to locate package dmraid
[01:18] <zooted_> unop: Thanks, it is a very annoying default.
[01:18] <unop> zooted_,  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:18] <geemy> ok well
[01:18] <geemy> i be hanging
[01:18] <geemy> too tired to lern anymore
[01:19] <unop> _Tom_, run this -- sudo aptitude update; apt-cache policy dmraid;
[01:19] <LjL> fotf: i asked if you had done anything as root *before* the first failed attempt
[01:19] <_Tom_> unop: I pasted the output of apt-get update, just to show what's going on.
[01:19] <_Tom_> I don't think it's right
[01:19] <LjL> fotf: anyway, start by typing  sudo chown -R your-user-name:your-user-name /home/your-user-name 
[01:19] <magicbronson_> i just plugged in FAT-formatted ipod with "disk use" enabled and all dmesg says is "new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10". how can i tell where in /dev it lives?
[01:19] <magicbronson_> i just plugged in FAT-formatted ipod with "disk use" enabled and all dmesg says is "new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10". how can i tell where in /dev it lives?
[01:20] <_Tom_> Still receiving the same answer to apt-cache policy dmraid, unop
[01:20] <jbroome> magicbronson_: it should be in /media/ipod
[01:20] <iltomee> one of my speakers sound funny ( i just bought a macbook) ANY IDEAS GUYS? its quite annoying
[01:20] <littlegator> I can't change the order or startup programs in the Sessions menu, does it matter?
[01:20] <unop> _Tom_,  where's the output of the apt-get update?
[01:20] <_Tom_> I messaged it to you?
[01:20] <_Tom_> I can pastebin instead if you wish?
[01:20] <fotf> nothing happened, I'm back on my acc btw
[01:20] <magicbronson_> jbroome: it's not :/
[01:20] <unop> _Tom_,  i didnt get the PM .. yea please !pastebin
[01:21] <_Tom_> ok :)
[01:21] <jbroome> magicbronson_: check dmesg
[01:21] <magicbronson_> jbroome: do i need to restart?
[01:21] <magicbronson_> jbroome: as i said, dmesg doesn't say anything helpful
[01:21] <jbroome> you shouldnt need to restart
[01:22] <jbroome> does sudo fdisk -l show it ?
[01:22] <unop> magicbronson_,  it's usually one of the /dev/sd?? devices -- i think fdisk -l should tell you
[01:22] <BigMac> how would I install the app mail-notification?
[01:22] <pbureau> iltomee, the only one I can suggest is check the sound settings and make sure non are > 70%
[01:22] <Clint-> in ubuntu 6.10 how do i add more desktops i forget how
[01:22] <BigMac> sudo apt-get mail-notification right
[01:22] <BigMac> it doesn't work
[01:22] <unop> Clint-,  more sessions you mean?
[01:22] <LjL> fotf: nothing should have happened. try the gedit thing again now (yes, from your account, no, not as root)
[01:22] <Clint-> no workspaces
[01:23] <Clint-> soz used wrong term
[01:23] <LjL> !nothing | fotf
[01:23] <ubotu> fotf: Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so. - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail.
[01:23] <magicbronson_> unop: i have no /dev/sd* and there's no mention in fdisk -l
[01:23] <LjL> fotf: see the last part of that
[01:23] <magicbronson_> is it possible i just need to restart?
[01:23] <EdgEy> is there any way to reset the root password back to nothing, as in you can't login as root without sudo passwd firs
[01:23] <EdgEy> first
[01:23] <unop> Clint-,  ahh, right click the pager -- preferences ....
[01:23] <_Tom_> unop: Sorry about this, pastebin.com's being a pain.
[01:23] <norty> rawr unop
[01:24] <BigMac> Does anyone use the app mail-notification?
[01:24] <Clint-> pager?
[01:24] <unop> hey norty :)
[01:24] <fotf> It still says I'm not authenticated
[01:24] <iltomee> pbureau: thx, they are not, but do u think a kernel recompile would work(dont know how to do it :) ), cause maybe its the driver or something
[01:24] <unop> _Tom_,  http://pastebin.ca
[01:24] <LjL> !root > EdgEy    (EdgEy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:24] <norty> how so where were we
[01:24] <norty> lol
[01:24] <Clint-> unop:  Pager?
[01:24] <_Tom_> unop: Yep, using that now :p
[01:24] <LjL> EdgEy: small note - setting the password to "nothing" is quite different from what you have in mind. a void password means you can login by pressing Enter.
[01:24] <unop> magicbronson_,  hmm, maybe LjL would know :)
[01:24] <_Tom_> unop: http://pastebin.ca/351184
[01:25] <jdsa> anyone know about wine
[01:25] <pbureau> iltomee, maybe reinstall ALSA ?
[01:25] <magicbronson_> unop: is there a chane i just need to restart?
[01:25] <norty> unop, is there anyway I can copy the files from folder1 to an external drive, connected via usb ?
[01:25] <unop> Clint-,  the pager is that little thing in the corner with 4 little boxes that lets you move from workspace to workspace, etc
[01:25] <Clint-> ty
[01:26] <Clint-> i got it
[01:26] <BigMac> anyone use mail-notification or could tell me how to install it?
[01:26] <Clint-> i did this a few weeks agao but forgot how
[01:26] <Clint-> cheers unop
[01:26] <KNY> how can I remove all existing Evolution accounts, without opening Evolution?
[01:26] <iltomee> pbureau: yeah, maybe ill try it... it might work... thx
[01:26] <KNY> (gotta be a config file somewhere, right?)
[01:26] <unop> magicbronson_,  a restart shouldnt make a difference -- errm, doesnt dmesg list it? or it appear mounted in one of the /media mount points
[01:27] <LjL> magicbronson_: do  lshw -class storage  and see if your drive is listed
[01:27] <unop> norty,  sure there is -- just gimme 2 secs .. :)
[01:27] <norty> will do bud
[01:27] <norty> :] 
[01:27] <Bugz> gah.. now im in big trouble
[01:27] <pbureau> iltomee, I would try uninstall, reboot, install again, add alsa-utils also
[01:27] <Bugz> im having GRUB problems.. can someone help?
[01:28] <Bugz> !Grub
[01:28] <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
[01:28] <fotf> LjL: It still says I'm not authenticated
[01:28] <unop> _Tom_,  ok, from what i see here, either you havent edited the right sources.list -- or the file wasnt saved properly -- you should have plenty more output there
[01:28] <BombaBombaNoktaC> hi
[01:28] <_Tom_> I should :(
[01:28] <unop> _Tom_,  if your chroot is /dchroot .. you need to edit /dchroot/etc/apt/sources.list
[01:29] <_Tom_> Yes.
[01:29] <iltomee> pbureau: thanx, ill try that. hope that works :)
[01:29] <_Tom_> If I cat /target/etc/apt/sources.lst
[01:29] <_Tom_> It appears correctly.
[01:29] <Gator> hey guys
[01:29] <_Tom_> In fact, it's the one you suggested :)
[01:29] <Gator> I typo'd when editing xorg.conf so I can't boot in GUI
[01:29] <ardchoille> How can I get .xml files to open in gedit on double-click?
[01:30] <zackglennie> this might be a general GNOME question: how do I edit the " Applications  /  Places  /  System " item in my panel?
[01:30] <unop> _Tom_,  errm, are you absolutely sure you are doing the -- sudo aptitude update  within the chroot then ? and not outside?
[01:30] <BombaBombaNoktaC> is anybody knows on here...that when will be the new releases come?
[01:30] <iltomee> pbureau: i forgot, it works fine with headphones, so is it my driver than?
[01:30] <BombaBombaNoktaC> is anybody knows on here...that when will be the new releases come?
[01:30] <nalioth> ardchoille: right click on a .xml and change the "always open with" to gedit
[01:30] <unop> !feisty
[01:30] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[01:30] <LjL> fotf: try "mv ~/.ICEauthority ~/.ICEauthority.back"
[01:30] <_Tom_> I did 'aptitude update' .. As I've done sudo -i in the chroot.
[01:30] <_Tom_> I didn't think sudo was necessary?
[01:30] <nalioth> LjL: you can safely delete ICEauthority  as it's reproduced with each login
[01:31] <LjL> fotf: remember that you should *never* run GUI programs using "sudo", but always with "gksudo" (on GNOME) or "kdesu" on (KDE), if they need root privileges. i'm saying this because i believe doing this was the culprit
[01:31] <ardchoille> nalioth: There is no "always open with" option in nautilus.
[01:31] <Gator> I typo'd when editing xorg.conf so I can't boot in GUI, so how do I fix it?
[01:31] <unop> _Tom_,  errm, to enter the chroot you need to be root -- and that would launch sh/bash as root, so sudo is not needed there
[01:31] <LjL> nalioth: ok
[01:31] <BombaBombaNoktaC> Thanks ubotu
[01:31] <BombaBombaNoktaC> Thanks ubotu
[01:31] <KNY> erm, so I just typo'd and hit `rm -rf /*` (rather than `rm -rf ./*`)
[01:31] <reiki> when I go to System -> Preferences -> keyboard... I change it from Gerneric Keyboard to Logitech Cordless .... I reboot... in xorg.conf it still says Generic... how do I get X to use a logitech driver? (assuming there is one)
[01:31] <_Tom_> Ok, figured.
[01:31] <nalioth> ardchoille: there is something that you can tell nautilus what to always use
[01:31] <KNY> aaaaand I caught it fairly quickly, wasn't sudo
[01:31] <pbureau> iltomee, well that could be 2 thing, your headphones are good and you have a blow pc speaker or the driver accesses the port for headphones and port of speakers differently
[01:31] <EdgEy> LjL why never run graphical programs with sudo? i've done it :-(
[01:31] <genejack> i've had several questions to Edgy Eft users, how is the normal installation procedure supposd to look like?
[01:31] <Gator> yay for no help :D
[01:31] <pbureau> iltomee, but I have no idea which one it is :)
[01:31] <_Tom_> I'm wonder if because it's such a virgin install (/target), that I'm missing some vital bits to get to the outside world?
[01:31] <KNY> but I get some Xlib errors whenever a new window tries to appear
[01:31] <LjL> EdgEy: ... because you could end up in the same situation as fotf has? ;-)
[01:32] <nalioth> ardchoille: right click the .xml > properties and then change the defaults
[01:32] <_Tom_> It's possible that resolv.conf and hosts.conf aren't quite right.
[01:32] <zackglennie> genejack: are you seeing something weird?
[01:32] <ardchoille> nalioth: There is an option to "Open with other application", but that doesn't change the default open with on dc
[01:32] <Gator> someone should help me >_>
[01:32] <zackglennie> genejack: it should be a pretty ubuntu-style desktop, with an "install" icon in the upper left
[01:32] <LjL> nalioth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5339/ <- any other ideas besides removing .ICEauthority anyway?
[01:32] <ardchoille> nalioth: Ah, got it. Thank you
[01:32] <EdgEy> hmm.
[01:32] <audimage> how do i figure out what to add to fstab to mount an NTFS partition?
[01:33] <Clint-> i have a issue with a usb wireless mouse it works fine but when i open firefox it stops working and will not work till i reboot
[01:33] <unop> _Tom_,  errm, nope, the fact that the commands are recognised shows a good installed, the fact that no hosts are suffering from lookup failures indicated resolv.conf and hosts as ok
[01:33] <LjL> !ntfs > audimage    (audimage, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:33] <EdgEy> i want to copy my /home to another partition and preserve permissions, etc, how can i do that
[01:33] <LjL> audimage: this tells you, i think
[01:33] <iltomee> pbureau: my speaks are ok when using osX, so probably the second case
[01:33] <_Tom_> unop: Ok, I was going to go say they loo OK from here.
[01:33] <nalioth> LjL: that means nothing at all.  where did you get .ICEauthority being the culprit?
[01:33] <unop> _Tom_,  ok, let's see sources.list then
[01:33] <_Tom_> Ok one sec.
[01:33] <BlueEagle> edgey: man cp
[01:34] <BlueEagle> !man
[01:34] <ubotu> The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:34] <Clint-> anyone any idea's?
[01:34] <Clint-> !usb
[01:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:34] <LjL> nalioth: just by googling a little. i'm just trying. oh, note that while (as you can see) that's a root login, he said it gave the same error from a non-root login
[01:34] <fotf> LjL: There is always an app on the taskbar that says "Starting administrative appli..." whenever I << gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list >>
[01:34] <nalioth> LjL: you'll ALWAYS get information like that when you open gui apps from a terminal
[01:34] <nalioth> LjL: did the program run?
[01:34] <EdgEy> BlueEagle,  ah wasn't aware cp could do that
[01:34] <_Tom_> unop: thinking about that, why do you have 'main multiverse restricted universe' on the end of your sources?
[01:34] <EdgEy> just want to make sure, say i
[01:34] <_Tom_> I was thinking dmraid was a universe package :S
[01:34] <unop> audimage,  http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_Windows_partitions_(DOS,_FAT,NTFS)
[01:34] <BlueEagle> edgey: Now you know. :)
[01:34] <norty> :] 
[01:34] <IanLiu> Hello there
[01:34] <EdgEy> cp --preserve=all /home/* /media/hda5/
[01:34] <LjL> nalioth: apparently not. anyway i can't know that you get that sort of information, since i only have kdesu ;)
[01:34] <unop> norty,   heh :)
[01:35] <EdgEy> then umount and mount /dev/hda5 as home, it should all be fine?
[01:35] <unop> norty,  let me just get tom's thing up and i'll be with you
[01:35] <BlueEagle> edgey: It must be said that you need to be able to set those permissions and that implies executing the command as root.
[01:35] <norty> just letting you know im stil here, ill be here all night
[01:35] <norty> sounds good
[01:35] <EdgEy> BlueEagle,  yes of course
[01:35] <sadistico> can someone please provide any ideas as to why my wireless internet doesnt work on my laptop anymore? it only happened after i installed ubuntu
[01:35] <fotf> LjL: I opened a new shell in another tab, and this time, like the first time whn I gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, a pass window came up. I typed in my pass, but it still says I'm not allowed
[01:35] <nalioth> LjL: you can run "kdesu kate" in a terminal and get similar info. it's debugging information
[01:35] <unop> _Tom_,  those repos should bring in other dependencies if they are needed
[01:35] <genejack> zackglennie, I was installing it for my friend, and after launching the DVD-R on a boot-up, it gos into DR-ROM and prompts user for action
[01:35] <Clint-> i need help when somoene has a sec plz just let me know
[01:35] <LjL> nalioth, i don't get that sort of messages with kdesu
[01:36] <nalioth> Clint-: just ask your question
[01:36] <sadistico> its like its not even detecting the nic
[01:36] <Clint-> i have a issue with a usb wireless mouse it works fine but when i open firefox it stops working and will not work till i reboot
[01:36] <zackglennie> genejack: I haven't used the DVD, just CDs
[01:36] <Clint-> and at the point the usb port will not transmit power
[01:36] <LjL> anyway fotf, just do  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list  instead
[01:36] <unop> norty,  ok, so you mounted your usb disk?
[01:36] <LjL> fotf: and hope your gksudo isn't broken ;)
[01:36] <mello__yello> does anybody know why my connection is very unresponsive when wired on my ZIO router?
[01:36] <zackglennie> genejack: there should be options like "try and possibly install ubuntu" "install in text mode" "memory check" "check installed disk integrity"
[01:36] <nalioth> LjL: that is common behavior if you open a gtk app from a console.  nothing to worry about UNLESS the app doesn't open
[01:36] <magicbronson_> help! any time i run "sudo *anything*" my terminal hangs!
[01:36] <magicbronson_> i am dead in the water!
[01:36] <Clint-> doah
[01:36] <magicbronson_> i no longer have root
[01:36] <zackglennie> genejack: once you boot from the installer disk
[01:37] <LjL> nalioth: ok, anyway it does seem to not open :)
[01:37] <nalioth> LjL: bring yourself and your friend to #ubuntu-classroom please
[01:37] <LjL> fotf: please type /join #ubuntu-classroom
[01:37] <unop> magicbronson_,  tried restarting the shell?
[01:37] <fotf> LjL: ## WineHQ - Ubuntu 6.10 "edgy eft"
[01:37] <magicbronson_> unop: yes
[01:37] <fotf> deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main
[01:37] <fotf> deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main
[01:37] <fotf> gotcha
[01:37] <LjL> fotf... on the pastebin...
[01:37] <sadistico>  can someone please provide any ideas as to why my wireless internet doesnt work on my laptop anymore? it only happened after i installed ubuntu
[01:37] <LjL> fotf: anyway. that looks right, tbh
[01:38] <IanLiu> When my Ubuntu boots, appears this message and Ubuntu stays there for a looong time...:

[01:38] <IanLiu> Any tips? This is slowing down too much the booting....
[01:38] <unop> magicbronson_,  logged off and logged back on?
[01:38] <nalioth> !paste | IanLiu
[01:38] <ubotu> IanLiu: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:38] <magicbronson_> unop: yes!
[01:38] <Clint-> sadistico:  what were you running before and what wireless you have
[01:38] <fotf> !enter > IanLiu
[01:38] <sadistico> windows xp home
[01:38] <unop> magicbronson_,  hmm, restarted the machine?
[01:38] <norty> unop, what? i haven't done anything since yesterday
[01:38] <Clint-> is it a usb wireless?
[01:38] <sadistico> its an onboard nic
[01:38] <magicbronson_> unop: yes!
[01:38] <genejack> zackglennie, ok but here's the deal. My friend burned an ISO image on a DVD-R and we made it bootable. But when we tryto boot from it, it goes into DOS-type prompt
[01:38] <Clint-> sadistico: is is usb wireless or pci
[01:39] <norty> im wondering if I can use like an ipod to copy my files to
[01:39] <genejack> zackglennie, think he got a wrong distro
[01:39] <magicbronson_> magicbronson_: X no longer works after restarting
[01:39] <sadistico> its on a laptop
[01:39] <norty> like do that 4 times
[01:39] <unop> magicbronson_,  ouch .. does the shell just hang?
[01:39] <sadistico> so neither
[01:39] <Clint-> sadistico:  what type of wireless and laptop
[01:39] <unop> norty,  sure
[01:39] <magicbronson_> unop: yes... X no longer works after restarting either
[01:39] <sadistico> acer laptop
[01:39] <norty> how do i do that?
[01:39] <sadistico> not sure which ind of wireless
[01:39] <Clint-> sadistico:  you probley need to use ndis or madwifi
[01:39] <ciscosurfer> anyone know if there's an Internet Explorer channel?
[01:39] <unop> !ipod | norty
[01:39] <ubotu> norty: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[01:39] <sadistico> cause i dont know how to check on here
[01:39] <zackglennie> genejack: seems likely.  I where are you getting dvd isos?  isn't it easier to use a cd?
[01:39] <sadistico> im new to ubuntu
[01:39] <geemy> reading forumn
[01:39] <Clint-> sadistico:  if you tell me what type of wifi you have i will tell u what to use
[01:39] <jdsa> does anyone  know about running wine?
[01:40] <TheInfinity> <-- has wine
[01:40] <sadistico> its like ubuntu doesnt recognize the nic
[01:40] <geemy> 127.0.0.1 localhost
[01:40] <geemy> heh
[01:40] <geemy> i think i amm close
[01:40] <Clint-> sadistico:  alot of wireless is not recognized
[01:40] <sadistico> im bouncing off my router
[01:40] <sadistico> belkin
[01:40] <geemy> i'll try my luck again tommorow
[01:40] <Clint-> sadistico:  you need to use other software
[01:40] <geemy> i am beat
[01:40] <geemy> peac
[01:40] <TheInfinity> hmm ... does anybody has experience using audio streaming server and knows, how much CPU capacity you need for 300 clients (webradio)?
[01:40] <Bugz> can someone help me with a GRUB problem?
[01:40] <jdsa> there is a way to use win drivers for wireless
[01:40] <sadistico> what kind?
[01:41] <unop> norty,  in this case you'll need to use your ipod as storage space not as a music player -- i'm not sure exactly how it works .. but you should be able to mount it and use nautilus to copy files across
[01:41] <IanLiu> Could someone help me? My Ubuntu boot is toooo long
[01:41] <norty> unop ive got a problem, since we tried to copy all the files from folder1 to folder2, it filled up my linux partition and now it doesn't let me boot into linux unless im in recovery mod
[01:41] <Clint-> sadistico:  but i need to know that wireless you have to tell you which software what chipset is it
[01:41] <Clint-> what*
[01:41] <sadistico> i have the drivers for it
[01:41] <Clint-> sadistico:  windows drivers?
[01:41] <sadistico> yes
[01:41] <Clint-> sadistico:  they wont work
[01:41] <sadistico> :P
[01:41] <Clint-> lol
[01:41] <sadistico> damn you windows
[01:41] <unop> norty,  hmm, ouch -- boot into recovery mode and delete a few files off of your /home directory
[01:42] <Clint-> sadistico:  its really easy what kind of wireless card is it
[01:42] <zackglennie> I'm having trouble getting more than 2 workspaces in feisty herd 3.  what gives?
[01:42] <norty> should i just delete that second folder?
[01:42] <TheInfinity> IanLiu: you have ubuntu 6.06? ;)
[01:42] <norty> the one where we copied everything?
[01:42] <zackglennie> seems unlikely that it's a bug, probably just that I'm looking in the wrong place to change it
[01:42] <sadistico> i dont know
[01:42] <sadistico> i cant find out
[01:42] <sadistico> its onboard
[01:42] <Bugz> GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR this is making me rlly rlly mad..
[01:42] <unop> zackglennie,  ask the folks in #ubuntu+1 (the feisty brainstormer's hangout)
[01:42] <Clint-> sadistico:  yes you can
[01:42] <sadistico> and im using a laptop
[01:43] <_Tom_> unop: http://pastebin.ca/351195
[01:43] <Clint-> sadistico:  go to the acer website and click on support and then drivers
[01:43] <sadistico> kk
[01:43] <sadistico> brb
[01:43] <Bugz> I had windows installed, then I installed ubuntu on my PC (Im on my laptop).. It told me to restart, I did... now its saying GRUB Geom Error
[01:43] <unop> norty,  you could do that -- or just delete enough from the folder2 directory so you have the space
[01:43] <Clint-> sadistico:  you need to put in your lap model and then find the wireless drive it will tell you what your have ie: intel atheros
[01:43] <Clint-> ..
[01:43] <norty> whats the delete command
[01:43] <Clint-> rm
[01:43] <Clint-> or rm -rf
[01:44] <Clint-> depending on what your deleting
[01:44] <unop> norty,  rm for files, rmdir for directories
[01:44] <Clint-> unop: =P
[01:44] <norty> so like rmdir folder2
[01:44] <Clint-> rm -rf folder
[01:44] <pbureau> sadistico, faster way would be to simply type  > lspci and see what card linux reconizes
[01:44] <unop> norty,  to be sure -- rmdir /home/norty/Desktop/folder2
[01:44] <norty> ok
[01:44] <IanLiu> I have ubuntu dapper drake, and I think the problem is because of windows
[01:45] <IanLiu> I have a Windows partiton (FAT32)
[01:45] <norty> im not able to use my friends computer today, so i have to restart this computer to go into linux and do that and then come back, ill be right back
[01:45] <unop> norty,  but that partition needs to be mounted first eh -- mount /home
[01:45] <norty> its already mounted
[01:45] <SirBob1701> anyone here have experience with cinelerra?
[01:45] <norty> we did that yesterday
[01:45] <unop> norty,  in recovery mode nothing is mounted
[01:45] <FirstStrike> IanLiu: The amount of time ubuntu takes to boot up has absolutely nothing to do with your windows partition
[01:45] <norty> i see
[01:45] <norty> how do i mount again?
[01:46] <unop> norty,  its a troubleshooting session there, remember ..
[01:46] <FirstStrike> !mount

[01:46] <feryana> Hi
[01:46] <idn> hi, I am trying to mount my housemates windows share using samba, it works fine if I specify a subdirectory to share, but there are quite a few. Is it possible to mount all directories in his share automatically?
[01:46] <feryana> is possible with gtkpod import iles to the iPoD without burning the CD?
[01:46] <unop> norty,  mount /home -- should work --- or  mount /dev/sda1  (replace your device here)
[01:46] <norty> ok
[01:46] <norty> ill be right back
[01:46] <IanLiu> I am looking at a forum. They said the problem is because of the windows partition. The message thrown by Ubuntu is this:  There are differences between boot sectors and Backup
[01:47] <idn> sudo mount -t smbfs -o guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  //matt/24 /mnt/matt
[01:47] <idn> that works fine for example, but I want to moutn all directories not just the 24 one
[01:48] <feryana> it's possible with gtkpod import iles to the iPoD without burning the CD?
[01:48] <d1gital> hey i was in here the other day and i had a question about a swapspace issue i was having. anyway i figured out that if i do a 'sudo mkswap /dev/hda4' then a 'sudo swapon /dev/hda4' it fixes it. only problem is i have to do this every time i open up my laptop.  is there a way to do this automatically?
[01:48] <n4cht> Ok, so I have a wireless access point without wired access.   I also have a second desktop without a wireless adapter.  How do I set up the following:  WAP - > Wireless PC - > Router - > Wired PC ?      In Breezy and Dapper the networking gui had the option to set which adapter would be the default, in Edgy that option is missing.  How do I also enable eth0 without Ubuntu assuming that eth0 is the default connection?
[01:48] <unop> idn,  why do you want something like that?
[01:48] <_Tom_> unop: http://pastebin.ca/351195
[01:48] <unop> idn,  just seeking the best course ahead
[01:49] <BlueEagle> d1gital: You have to mkswap every time? Have you tried just using the swapon command?
[01:49] <HymnToLife> idn, if the dirs are /1, /2, /3, ..., /24, you could do that with a for loop in bash
[01:49] <BlueEagle> d1gital: It might be that you just need to add the swap partition to your /etc/fstab
[01:49] <idn> because he has a million folders and i need access to all of them and because they constantly being changed its a hassle to manage
[01:49] <idn> lol, no thats 24 as in the tv series :)
[01:49] <HymnToLife> lmao
[01:50] <unop> _Tom_,  still no change :(
[01:50] <BlueEagle> idn: Have you got the parody of that? The 24th?
[01:50] <_Tom_> Nope :(
[01:50] <sadistico> Clint- It just says 802.11b/g WLAN
[01:50] <Clint-> thats not the model
[01:50] <unop> idn,  well, in any case you'll need a list of all his shares, do you have that?
[01:50] <Clint-> you need the model
[01:50] <_Tom_> unop: Thinking maybe I should install ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard and then give it another go.
[01:50] <Clint-> sad sec
[01:50] <Clint-> sadistico:  sec
[01:50] <unop> _Tom_,  in the chroot you mean?
[01:51] <_Tom_> Yeah
[01:51] <idn> yeah i can view them through smb://matt in nautilus. I guess if I can get a list of the folders tho I could just write a bash script
[01:51] <unop> _Tom_,  the minimal should do
[01:51] <_Tom_> Ok
[01:51] <unop> idn,  yep
[01:51] <d1gital> blueeagle: no, i tried it once without mkswap and it didnt work, i dont recall the exact message.  and my swap partition is already in /etc/fstab
[01:51] <Clint-> sadistico:  in terminal type lspci
[01:51] <unop> idn,  or make bookmarks in nautilus

[01:52] <heatman> Hi, I have installed both blackbox and fluxbox from tarball but it seems that when it comes at the time to choose the "session type" both blackbox and fluxbox arent available. How can it be fixed?
[01:52] <Clint-> sadistico:  ok
[01:52] <BlueEagle> d1gital: The I seriously recomend that you back up all your data and do a thurough examination of the drive in question.
[01:52] <Clint-> sadistico: do a goold search for ndiswrapper
[01:52] <Clint-> sadistico: google
[01:52] <EdgEy> hmm, should i be manually editing /etc/fstab or is there a tool for this
[01:52] <sadistico> k
[01:52] <EdgEy> wondering what all the UUID crap is
[01:52] <tj_> anyone familair with ekiga softphone able to work with msn messenger and video calling?
[01:52] <Clint-> sadistico:  once on thier site look for the compatibality with that card
[01:52] <BlueEagle> d1gital: Seems like something is not sticking to the partition table. Do you turn off your computer or do you use some sort of sleep mode?
[01:53] <BrendanM> Hi, when I bring my laptop back from hibernate, the microphone port doesn't work. Rebooting always fixes the problem, but I was wondering if there was some commandline thing I could enter to fix it without rebooting?
[01:53] <idn> i dont think the bootmarks will help, what i really want it just to mount the root dir in his samba share
[01:53] <tj_> can someone help me with a webcam issue?
[01:53] <d1gital> blueeagle: it is a laptop so when i close it it might be going into some kind of sleep mode. it does ask for my password when i open it back up
[01:54] <tj_> anyone familair with ekiga softphone able to work with msn messenger and video calling?
[01:54] <stephans_> which cd image are you supposed to use with a kickstart build?
[01:54] <BlueEagle> d1gital: Well then it doesn't really "start up" as it doesn't boot. So it seems that the sleep mode isn't set up correctly. I
[01:54] <BlueEagle> 've never had a laptop so I don't know how to fix that.
[01:54] <unop> EdgEy you dont need a UUID, just use the old style device names here
[01:54] <BlueEagle> !suspend
[01:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:54] <BlueEagle> hm...
[01:55] <BrendanM> tj_, it might be, can you configure it to use other networks?
[01:55] <BlueEagle> ubotu: tell d1gital about laptop
[01:55] <stephans_> !kickstart
[01:55] <BlueEagle> d1gital: I hope that helps.
[01:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kickstart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:55] <cheeseboy16> how do i save a file to etc?
[01:55] <jumburrito> If I use apt-get to download nvidia-glx drivers on my 64bit OS would it automatically download 64bit drivers?
[01:55] <stephans_> !ks.cfg
[01:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ks.cfg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:55] <BlueEagle> cheeseboy16: The /etc directory is writable only to root by default.
[01:56] <sadistico> ok i downloaded the file ndiswrapper-1.37
[01:56] <sadistico> and just extracted it
[01:56] <feryana> oK i GOT it
[01:56] <cheeseboy16> so.. what can i do?
[01:56] <feryana> add files > sync
[01:56] <cheeseboy16> i need to save file there
[01:56] <BlueEagle> cheeseboy16: You can either start your editor as root (not recomended) or save the file to your home directory and then copy it with sudo after making a backup if the file already exists.
[01:56] <cheeseboy16> how do i copy w/ sudo?
[01:57] <BlueEagle> cheeseboy16: And yes you should _always_ make backups of files you modify in your /etc/ directory.
[01:57] <LjL> cheeseboy16: sudo isn't a command to copy
[01:57] <cheeseboy16> LjL, i know
[01:57] <heatman> sudo -i "password" > cp /home/usrname/filename /etc
[01:57] <BlueEagle> cheeseboy16: sudo cp /home/cheeseboy/filename /etc/
[01:57] <Clint-> i need the command to reset root pass
[01:57] <BlueEagle> heatman: Wouldn't that leave his password in .bash_history?
[01:57] <heatman> Hi, I have installed both blackbox and fluxbox from tarball but it seems that when it comes at the time to choose the "session type" both blackbox and fluxbox arent available. How can it be fixed?
[01:58] <LjL> !root > Clint-    (Clint-, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:58] <HymnToLife> Clint-, why do you want to do that ?
[01:58] <Clint-> ty
[01:58] <tehseen> anyone know anything about sdcards, i ahve a internal reader on my laptop and ubuntu detects it, but how do i mount it
[01:58] <Clint-> HymnToLife: i would like to know root pass even know i have sudo
[01:58] <heatman> BlueEagle: yeah thats right
[01:58] <LjL> Clint-: there simply isn't any root password.
[01:58] <HymnToLife> Clint-, by default, there is none
[01:58] <Clint-> HymnToLife: unless the root pass is a quto generated pass
[01:58] <BrendanM> tj_, these people reverse-engineered the MSN video codec, so you might find some useful information on their site: http://farsight.sourceforge.net/
[01:58] <LjL> Clint-: but it isn't
[01:58] <jumburrito> Sorry I don't know if anyone saw my question. If I use apt-get to download nvidia-glx drivers on my 64bit OS would it automatically download 64bit?
[01:59] <Clint-> HymnToLife:  =) cant be that secure
[01:59] <LjL> Clint-: if you look at /etc/shadow, you'll see root has "!" as the password hash. that means "no valid password"
[01:59] <Clint-> ah
[01:59] <Clint-> ok
[01:59] <Clint-> ty
[01:59] <LjL> Clint-, it's as secure as it gets. there is simply no password that will allow a login.
[01:59] <BrendanM> So...anyone? Sound system microphone?
[01:59] <Clint-> nice thats fine then
[01:59] <dimeotane> where in ubuntu can I find my HD capacity and space left?
[01:59] <LjL> Clint-, don't make your system insecure while seeking security without knowing what you're doing, please.
[01:59] <Clint-> cause i am encrupting the hd in a bit
[01:59] <Clint-> encrupting
[01:59] <LjL> Clint-: if the ubuntu devs made things like they did, they probably know something about it.
[02:00] <Bugz> jesus fuck sake
[02:00] <Bugz> can I get some help
[02:00] <Clint-> lol
[02:00] <tehseen> lol
[02:00] <Clint-> bugz?
[02:00] <dimeotane> in windows I right click on drive C and choose properties
[02:00] <tj_> Thanks BrendaM
[02:00] <HymnToLife> Bugz, not with such language
[02:00] <Clint-> LjL: ty for the knoledge
[02:00] <feryana> I need one think
[02:00] <jdsa> even in real Debian root is not allowed to log in
[02:00] <LjL> !etiquette > Bugz    (Bugz, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:00] <Bugz> that was totally uncalled for
[02:00] <BrendanM> dimeotane, you can probably check it in the file manager
[02:00] <LjL> Bugz: no.
[02:00] <HymnToLife> jdsa, freom console, it is
[02:00] <Bugz> well w/e im here to get help
[02:01] <feryana> I'm trying to unzip a .rar file.  Then I type "unrar file.rar" and it says me, "unrar: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by unrar)
[02:01] <feryana> " What can I do?
[02:01] <HymnToLife> unless you set it so it can't
[02:01] <BrendanM> I run Xubuntu, so mine is slightly different. Anyone? How do you check free hard drive space on Gnome?
[02:01] <Bugz> iv been trying for the past 3 hours withresponse.. no
[02:01] <Bugz> with no reponse**
[02:01] <HymnToLife> BrendanM, df, in a console
[02:01] <tehsu> whats your question bugz
[02:01] <babo> OK, i've installed the w32 codecs, but mplayer still tells me that it's missing the plugins needed to play a .flv file ?
[02:01] <LjL> Bugz: and that justifies using such language? not.
[02:01] <Bugz> My question is how do I fix GRUB
[02:01] <Krunk> Hi. If I install Ubuntu (replacing Mandriva 2006) and I wanted to use KDE as a desktop, could I add Kubuntu or must I use Kubuntu exclusively?
[02:01] <Clint-> whats wrong with it
[02:01] <Clint-> ?
[02:01] <Bugz> I tried the ubotu stuff but no luck
[02:01] <Bugz> I get an error
[02:01] <tehsu> which is
[02:02] <jdsa> what is grub doing
[02:02] <heatman> Krunk: apt-get install kubuntun-desktop
[02:02] <HymnToLife> Krunk, you can very well have GNOME and KDE installed at the same time
[02:02] <heatman> Krunk: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:02] <Bugz> let me get it
[02:02] <HymnToLife> though it's a bit of a waste to have Gnome installe dif you don't use it
[02:02] <jumburrito> Doesn't Ubuntu come default with KDE?
[02:02] <alex_mayorga> hi there, how safe is to jump to feisty from edgy if nothing is evidently broken??
[02:02] <sadistico> anyone know how to install ndiswrapper once it is downloaded?
[02:02] <Bugz> GRUB Geom Error
[02:02] <Krunk> heatman: ahh . . that's what I wanted to know. Thanks!
[02:02] <LjL> jumburrito: no, it comes with GNOME. Kubuntu does.
[02:02] <LjL> !kubuntu > jumburrito    (jumburrito, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:02] <heatman> krunk: np
[02:02] <Bugz> GRUB Geom Error
[02:02] <BrendanM> dimeotane, the did you see that. The command "df" in terminal will show you how much space you have.
[02:02] <feryana> I'm trying to unzip a .rar file.  Then I type "unrar file.rar" and it says me, "unrar: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by unrar) What can I do?
[02:02] <rmd_> dimeotane: df -h
[02:03] <jumburrito> oh, so is that what the K in Kubuntu denotes?
[02:03] <eternal_p> good evening all...I'm looking for some sort of RSS newsticker that can scroll on the bottom of my screen (Gnome) any suggestgions..I know gestlets has one, ebut it always errors out on me....thanks!
[02:03] <babo> what plugins  does mplayer need to play a .flv does anyone know ?
[02:03] <HymnToLife> df -h is not |33t :p
[02:03] <heatman> sadistico: make && make install
[02:03] <Bugz> tehsu, GRUB Geom Error
[02:03] <jrib> feryana: how did you install unrar?
[02:03] <sadistico> &&?
[02:03] <killermach> before I waste time installing ubuntu 6.10 does it resolve the issue of not accessing windows shares? maybe I'm just gnome deficient in skill
[02:03] <tehsu> check pm
[02:03] <jumburrito> It works for me...
[02:03] <feryana> jrib from a tar.gz file, with make\
[02:03] <BrendanM> dimeotane, it looks like you can also go to accessories -> disk usage analyser
[02:03] <HymnToLife> sadistico, connad1 && command2 will run both comands
[02:03] <heatman> sadistico: once install type : ndiswrapper -i to install drivers, then ndiswrapper -m, ndiswrapper -di, ndiswrapper -da
[02:03] <rmd_> does nautilus seriously not have a graphical disk use tool?
[02:03] <HymnToLife> (i.e. command2 will run when command1 is done)
[02:03] <jrib> feryana: uninstall that and use the repository version instead
[02:04] <BrendanM> if you're coming from windows, that might be a nice way to do it with a GUI
[02:04] <feryana> jrib how do I do that?
[02:04] <heatman> sadistico: one command to make and install
[02:04] <Bugz> tehsu, There isnt a PM
[02:04] <_Tom_> unop: This is really odd. I can install the linux kernal (linux-imagine-generic), and ubuntu-standard .. As well as grub, but it still refuses to work when I try apt-get update? Or rather, it exhibits the same behaviour as you saw earlier.
[02:04] <jrib> feryana: which part?
[02:04] <rmd_> ah
[02:04] <rmd_> but gnome has one
[02:04] <feryana> all :P
[02:04] <rmd_> wow
[02:04] <amorphous_> i'm struggling to get my opera mail accross to a fresh install... anyone know what could be stopping me just copying the .opera folder accros & starting up?
[02:04] <tehsu> i pm'd u
[02:04] <_Tom_> unop: It can get to the net, as that's where it pulled those packages from, but won't update? Is there a way to flush its cache and force it to update?
[02:04] <killermach> I can do "Places->Connect to server" then put in the server IP and it makes a icon on my Desktop, I browse the share then double click a .XCF file and gimp opens and complains that it cannot open /home/killer/smb://server/share/file.xcf  no such file or directory"
[02:05] <jrib> babo: I can play flv, but I compiled mplayer and have w32codecs.  So I suggest trying to install w32codecs.  If flv still do not play then it is a configuration option at compile time
[02:05] <Bugz> tehsu, Its not showing up
[02:05] <tehsu> msg me then
[02:05] <jrib> !w32codecs | babo
[02:05] <ubotu> babo: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[02:05] <sadistico> im trying to install it, i dont know how to though
[02:05] <sadistico> :P
[02:05] <jumburrito> Is there anyone I can PM to spam nvidia questions at?
[02:05] <xtknight> what is flash encoded with anyway?  VP6?
[02:05] <sadistico> im not familiar with the file types
[02:05] <sadistico> like a .exe
[02:05] <babo> jrib: I've just installed the codecs ...
[02:05] <Bugz> ok got it now tehsu
[02:05] <tehsu> k
[02:05] <heatman> sadistico: installing ndiswrapper? u need to untar: tar zxvf ndiswrapper.xxx.tar.gz
[02:05] <Clint-> sadistico:  soz i am back
[02:05] <Bugz> ill try this..
[02:05] <BrendanM> alex_mayorga, you're running fiesty and you want do downgrade to edgy?
[02:06] <sadistico> i untar'd it
[02:06] <feryana> jrib both of them. Uninstall and the repository
[02:06] <Clint-> sadistico:  enter the dir
[02:06] <BrendanM> Fiesty is pre-release right now. You'd probably be better off with edgy (6.10) or dapper (6.06)
[02:06] <sadistico> now just need to know how to install it
[02:06] <heatman> sadistico: then follow the commands i gave... for the ndiswrapper -i, u need to add the path to ur drivers
[02:06] <jrib> feryana: did you use "make install" to install?
[02:06] <Clint-> sadistico:  in terminal enter the dir you extraceted it
[02:06] <sadistico> thats the part im stuck on
[02:06] <sadistico> oh, no
[02:06] <Clint-> sadistico:  cd dirname
[02:06] <sadistico> i did it through the gui
[02:06] <rmd_> i dont know about this disk analyzer.. it says my windows partition is 59% full.. but 4.0GB used of 20GB isnot 59%
[02:07] <Clint-> thats fine
[02:07] <sadistico> ok then, yeah
[02:07] <jrib> babo: then try to recompile it and look for an option in ./configure --help
[02:07] <feryana> jrib I think so, I think that I only typed make, because I don't have the install file
[02:07] <scias> whaaaaaaassssuuuuuuuppppp mother fuckas
[02:07] <sadistico> i did
[02:07] <feryana> in the tar.gz
[02:07] <Clint-> sadistico:  you need to be in terminal unless they updated it in the last 6 months
[02:07] <rmd_> and yet.. df -h got it right :)
[02:07] <heatman> sadistico: ok well download ur driver or copy ur driver in save folder as ndiswrapper and then ndiswrapper -i /path
[02:07] <killermach> does anyone use ubuntu on a network? that has windows shares?
[02:07] <jumburrito> yes
[02:07] <BrendanM> killermach, yes
[02:07] <sadistico> i copied the driver
[02:07] <Clint-> sadistico:  i would assume you dled it and extracted to to desktop
[02:07] <heatman> sadistico: make && make install
[02:07] <rmd_> killermach: samba, samba, samba :)
[02:07] <BrendanM> You want to browse samba shares, I presume?
[02:07] <heatman> sadistico: once install type : ndiswrapper -i to install drivers, then ndiswrapper -m, ndiswrapper -di, ndiswrapper -da
[02:07] <sadistico> ok ill try that
[02:08] <BrendanM> I suggest LinNeighborhood or xSmbrowser
[02:08] <sadistico> thanks for helping me so much
[02:08] <sadistico> it means alot
[02:08] <heatman> np
[02:08] <Bugz> tehsu, That site didnt help me..
[02:08] <tehsu> k
[02:08] <heatman> Hi, I have installed both blackbox and fluxbox from tarball but it seems that when it comes at the time to choose the "session type" both blackbox and fluxbox arent available. How can it be fixed?
[02:08] <Bugz> tehsu, It just gives me reasons why its broke, and what to do to fix it.. But I dont KNOW why its broken..
[02:09] <feryana> I emulated it jrib... it seems to be working!!
[02:09] <feryana> I installed it with wine
[02:09] <tehsu> did it broke when u installed it
[02:09] <feryana> the windows one
[02:09] <tehsu> or did u change something
[02:09] <hairulfr> Hey all, a quick question before i sleep. How do I save my session? - can I get ubuntu to do it by default? (I use Gnome)
[02:09] <tehsu> break**
[02:09] <jrib> feryana: erm ok, but you should install the native linux one probably
[02:09] <Bugz> Well it was a different error..
[02:09] <alex_mayorga> BrendanM, the other way around
[02:09] <LjL> hairulfr: i think it does it by default...?
[02:09] <Bugz> I had winodws, and partitioned my hdd to use Ubuntu too
[02:09] <tehsu> right
[02:09] <Bugz> install ubuntu then restarted
[02:10] <Bugz> and it had an error
[02:10] <hairulfr> LjL: Nah, it doesn't - not anymore anyways :(
[02:10] <ConstyXIV> is it safe to update now?
[02:10] <sadistico> i keep getting this error message
[02:10] <tehsu> k
[02:10] <sadistico> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[02:10] <jrib> feryana: do you still have the source directory where you compiled unrar?
[02:10] <tehsu> and whats your primary boot record?
[02:10] <Bugz> I forgot the error by now.. cuz it was 3 hours ago
[02:10] <GaiaX11> Who is still using dapper here? Are you upgrading from dapper to feisty in April?
[02:10] <jumburrito> Whenever I install nvidia-glx drivers, I lose video output in X. This has happened to me in both Sabayon and now Ubuntu 64bit, anyone available to help me out?
[02:10] <Bugz> I have no idea tehsu
[02:10] <tehsu> r u in windows?
[02:10] <feryana> jrib yeah
[02:10] <_Tom_> Can anyone help me with apt-get ?
[02:10] <jrib> feryana: try this command:  sudo make uninstall
[02:10] <Clint-> sad
[02:10] <Bugz> I cant boot into ANYTHING Tehsu
[02:10] <babo> jrib: error opening/intializing the selected video out device
[02:10] <Clint-> sadistico:  try ./configure
[02:10] <feryana> ok
[02:10] <Clint-> first
[02:10] <Bugz> I can use LiveCD though..
[02:11] <tehsu> ok, so boot to livecd
[02:11] <Bugz> ok
[02:11] <ConstyXIV> have the broken updates been fixed yet?
[02:11] <jrib> babo: context?
[02:11] <Bugz> it takes a while
[02:11] <tehsu> and check the boot record using fdisk
[02:11] <babo> jrib: movie player error ...
[02:11] <tehsu> yeah ill be here
[02:11] <Bugz> ok
[02:11] <babo> jrib: mplayer
[02:11] <jrib> babo: the one you just compiled?
[02:11] <Bugz> can we take this private?
[02:11] <babo> jrib: apt-get'd
[02:11] <BrendanM> alex_mayorga, if you really want to live on the edge, feel free to go for Feisty, just be aware it's not officially released yet. It's coming out in April, so I'm going to wait at least that long to upgrade.
[02:11] <Clint-> sadistico:  normally on manual installations you need to configure the enviorment first
[02:12] <hairulfr> LjL: Haha, apparantly I turned it off myself in Sessions... Why I don't know...Stupid me... And you were right - it does it by default...
[02:12] <feryana> jrib *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.
[02:12] <jrib> babo: wait why did you start getting this error all of a sudden?  What changed since we started talking?
[02:12] <heatman> Clint-, ndiswrapper doesnt need to ./config... well usually
[02:12] <jumburrito> Whenever I install nvidia-glx drivers, I lose video output in X. This has happened to me in both Sabayon and now Ubuntu 64bit, anyone available to help me out?
[02:12] <ConstyXIV> feryana: try sudo make remove
[02:12] <Gator> I need help, somehow the an M got inserted in my xorg.conf file, so I can't boot to GUI
[02:12] <alex_mayorga> BrendanM, have you heard of anything terrible broken? or general tips to a smooth beta testing?
[02:12] <GaiaX11> Anyone here will upgrade from dapper to feisty?
[02:12] <Theron> I want to setup a wireless network for both of my ubuntu desktops.  Any suggestions on which hardware to get?
[02:12] <Clint-> heatman:  prob not but you never know
[02:12] <jrib> feryana: ok, well you'll have to remove the files it installed manually
[02:12] <babo> jrib: I downloaded mplayer and tried to play a flv file on it ... I also installed the w32 codecs
[02:12] <ConstyXIV> Gator: get to a console, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, fix the typo
[02:12] <feryana> I've got the same
[02:13] <ElbridgeGerry> Hey all. I have a question.
[02:13] <heatman> sadistico: use this command than: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
[02:13] <Clint-> heatman:  but thinking about it isnt ndis advil via apt-get install ndis*
[02:13] <ElbridgeGerry> I have a laptop, and I want to set it so a tap on the touchpad doesn't count as a click. How do I do this?
[02:13] <jrib> babo: so you always had this "failed to initialize ..." error?
[02:13] <HP_Vue> help
[02:13] <babo> jrib: nope, I just downloaded mplayer a second ago ...
[02:13] <Clint-> ElbridgeGerry: good question
[02:14] <heatman> Clint-: i tought he was using tarballs.... when i use tarballs for ndiswrapper ./configure is not required
[02:14] <Clint-> heatman:  he did use tarball
[02:14] <linux_kid> How do i get totem to play files like .mp3, .wmv, & DVD's?
[02:14] <jrib> babo: ok, try:  mplayer -vo x11 /path/to/some/file

[02:14] <jumburrito> Whenever I install nvidia-glx drivers, I lose video output in X. This has happened to me in both Sabayon and now Ubuntu 64bit, anyone available to help me out?
[02:14] <ryanakca> how would one set up a linksys WMP54GSV wireless card under ubuntu?
[02:14] <linux_kid> jrib: Thanks
[02:15] <BrendanM> alex_mayorga, I've haven't really looked into it, I'm more of a "stable computing" than a "bleeding edge" type. I'm sure there's tons of info on www.ubuntuforums.org though
[02:15] <Clint-> ryanakca:  use ndis wrapper
[02:15] <tehsu> anyone know anything about flash media how to mount it?
[02:15] <ryanakca> Clint-: ndis wrapper?
[02:15] <Clint-> ryanakca:  yes google ndis wrapper
[02:15] <ConstyXIV> tehsu: if youre in gnome, just plug it in
[02:15] <alex_mayorga> BrendanM, appreciated, I'm google around for horror stories and see what comes up
[02:15] <Clint-> what distro u using and version
[02:15] <heatman> ryanakca: it xan be installed via apt-get too
[02:16] <EdgEy> if you copy from nautilus running as root, and paste into nautilus running as normal user
[02:16] <ryanakca> heatman: kk
[02:16] <sadistico> i got the same error bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[02:16] <EdgEy> who ends up as the owner?
[02:16] <ryanakca> Clint-: me?
[02:16] <jrib> sadistico: what are you trying to compile?
[02:16] <ConstyXIV> !kernel
[02:16] <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
[02:16] <tehsu> ConstyXIV: I did, dmesg shows it but where else should it be
[02:16] <heatman> jrib: ndiswrapper
[02:16] <sadistico> ndiswrapper
[02:16] <Clint-> ryanakca: nvm but its apt-get install ndis*
[02:16] <jrib> feryana: if you're not sure how to proceed I can try to help in more detail at #ubuntu-classroom
[02:17] <sadistico> sure thank you so much
[02:17] <jrib> heatman: are you following the guide on the wiki?
[02:17] <ConstyXIV> tehsu: sudo mount /dev/sda1 (folder)
[02:17] <heatman> sadistico: is make installed?
[02:17] <Clint-> sadistico:  please difer to heatman he seems to know alot more then i do
[02:17] <sadistico> ill head over now
[02:17] <ryanakca> Clint-: kk
[02:17] <tehsu> k
[02:17] <heatman> jrib: i dont have a prob with it... sadistico does
[02:17] <ConstyXIV> tehsu: most stuff is automounted to /media/(folder)
[02:17] <jrib> heatman: heh, ok :)
[02:17] <sadistico> yeah
[02:17] <feryana> jrib I really appreciate your help, but I must go in a couple of minutes and here are people who needs more help than me.  I'll try to reach you other day, thanks a lot!!
[02:17] <sadistico> i just dont know how to install things on here
[02:17] <tehsu> all in there is cdrom
[02:17] <heatman> sadistico: sec
[02:17] <tehsu> and sda1 doesnt exist..
[02:18] <babo> jrib: yeah, I just tried that and it seemed to work, but it turns out that my flv file is really blurry and of poor quality :-( ... the avi file was alright though ...
[02:18] <jrib> !ndiswrapper | sadistico
[02:18] <ubotu> sadistico: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:18] <babo> jrib: the avi file that I converted it from that is ...
[02:18] <ElbridgeGerry> Quick question, everyone:  I have a laptop, and I want to set it so a tap on the touchpad doesn't count as a click. How do I do this?
[02:18] <heatman> sadistico: what version of ubutu u suing?
[02:18] <babo> jrib: I used ffmpeg to do the conversion ...
[02:18] <bruenig> don't sue ubuntu
[02:19] <heatman> lol using*
[02:19] <jrib> babo: not really familiar with converting to flv, maybe try #ffmpeg?
[02:19] <sadistico> ill head over and read the help faQ
[02:19] <babo> jrib: ahh
[02:19] <sadistico> sorry to have taken up so much time
[02:19] <sadistico> but thanks so much for helping
[02:19] <sadistico> :D
[02:19] <heatman> Hi, I have installed both blackbox and fluxbox from tarball but it seems that when it comes at the time to choose the "session type" both blackbox and fluxbox arent available. How can it be fixed?
[02:19] <ConstyXIV> i believe mencoder (mplayer) does flv
[02:19] <heatman> np
[02:20] <ConstyXIV> are the problems from last week's kernel update fixed yet?
[02:20] <tehsu> ConstyXIV: anyway to findout which /dev it mounted on
[02:21] <ConstyXIV> tehsu: it'll be /dev/sda1 usually, and just "mount" will tell you all of your mounts
[02:22] <Dyslexic> Hello, just tried running the 6.10 desktop live cd, and am getting a blank display when xorg starts. How do I get to a console to read the xorg log file?  ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work.
[02:22] <jumburrito> Whenever I install nvidia-glx drivers, I lose video output in X. This has happened to me in both Sabayon and now Ubuntu 64bit, anyone available to help me out?
[02:22] <Cippy> Network Manager isn't detecting my wireless card. Anyone know what's up?
[02:22] <tehsu> well, this sucks, i cant find it
[02:22] <Steil> Has anyone managed to get anything after dapper to boot on a blade 100?
[02:22] <_Tom_> Gay gay gay gay.
[02:23] <LjL> _Tom_?
[02:23] <cables> Dyslexic, you can select recovery mode in the grub menu
[02:23] <_Tom_> Sorry.
[02:23] <ConstyXIV> Cippy: go to /etc/network/interfaces, and comment out all references to your wireless card, restart
[02:23] <_Tom_> I need to wipe my /target and start again
[02:23] <_Tom_> (IE. Wipe the /boot and / partitions clean)
[02:23] <Dyslexic> Will recovery mode show me the last log file?  I'm running off a livecd.
[02:23] <_Tom_> So I can start again.
[02:23] <Cippy> thanks, ConstyXIV
[02:24] <_Tom_> I've been doing something utterly stupid for 2 hours and now I'm in am ess.
[02:24] <tehsu> ConstyXIV: when I put the sd card in a proc shows up, its [tifm0:3] 
[02:24] <ConstyXIV> tehsu: why do you need to know what the /dev is?
[02:24] <tehsu> it wont mount
[02:24] <mdmartz_> I just upgraded my kernel to  2.6.17-11-generic and my wireless card stopped working.  It was previously listed as eth1.  Now I see wlan0 listed but I cannot bring up wlan0 because it says no such device.  The device manager shows it as a wlan interface and I cannot see any reason why I shouldn't be able to bring it up.  Any ideas?
[02:25] <cables> mdmartz, make sure your "linux-restricted-modules" is the same version as your "linux-image"
[02:25] <cables> mdmartz_, make sure your linux-restricted-modules is the same version as your "linux-image'
[02:25] <ConstyXIV> mdmartz_: what wifi card?
[02:26] <mdmartz_> cables: how would I accomplish that?  I am new to Ubuntu/Debian
[02:26] <cables> mdmartz_, hold on a sec
[02:26] <mdmartz_> Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)
[02:26] <cables> mdmartz, probably doesn't matter
[02:26] <bruenig> mdmartz_, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[02:27] <ConstyXIV> mdmartz_: go to synaptic, look at the versions of linux-restricted-modules and linux-image
[02:27] <cables> mdmartz_, do what Bruenig said, it's easier
[02:27] <HP_Vue> Is there a program that you can use in ubuntu to burn ISO to disk?
[02:27] <ConstyXIV> will the kernel updates still kill your system?
[02:28] <bruenig> HP_Vue, what type of iso? cd or dvd?
[02:28] <HP_Vue> cd
[02:28] <tehsu> sweet got it working
[02:28] <binarydigit> gnomebaker
[02:28] <ConstyXIV> HP_Vue: r-click your ISO
[02:28] <HP_Vue> ah thanks
[02:28] <mdmartz_> cables: I will need to reboot into the new kernel to test.  Thanks
[02:28] <bruenig> HP_Vue, cdrecord dev=/dev/whatever nameofiso.iso
[02:28] <cables> mdmartz_, after that, make sure "linux-generic" is installed (aptitude show linux-generic | grep State)
[02:28] <tehsu> where do you put modules to autoload
[02:28] <bruenig> or graphically
[02:28] <ConstyXIV> tehsu: /etc/modules
[02:28] <binarydigit> /etc/modules
[02:28] <cables> mdmartz_, this doesn't change your kernel
[02:28] <Journeyman> my apt-gets are no longer authorized
[02:28] <Journeyman> whats up with that
[02:28] <cables> mdmartz_, you need to reboot, though
[02:28] <tehsu> yeah found it as soon as i asked lol
[02:28] <mzuverink> anyone have a en to es kvtml file for kvoctrain?
[02:28] <bruenig> Journeyman, did you add any repos?
[02:29] <fotf> is it opssible to wine DirectX?
[02:29] <Journeyman> what are repos?
[02:29] <cables> Wow, a lot of problems with kernels not matching restricted modules today
[02:29] <cables> !repositories | Journeyman
[02:29] <ubotu> Journeyman: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:29] <bruenig> Journeyman, repositories, that is where apt-get gets all the software
[02:29] <Journeyman> oh, not recently
[02:29] <mdmartz_> cables: I have the latest linux-restricted-modules
[02:29] <matthew1421> how do i fix the arts server fatal error for sound?
[02:30] <ConstyXIV> Journeyman: in english, it's where all the software is stored, and where all the updates come from
[02:30] <cables> mdmartz_, did you run the command bruenig told you?
[02:30] <Journeyman> yeah I know what a repository is
[02:30] <Journeyman> thanks
[02:30] <Cippy> ConstyXIV: it didn't work. do you have any other suggestions?
[02:30] <Journeyman> I didn't know that repo == repository
[02:31] <carlhume> Anyone have time to help me figure out a problem with the installer for 6.10?
[02:31] <cables> !ask | carlhume
[02:31] <ubotu> carlhume: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:31] <mdmartz_> cables: yes...sorry thought you had written that to me...my irssi colors are messed up and its hard to see who wrote to me
[02:31] <carlhume> ubotu :) thanks
[02:31] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:31] <carlhume> lol
[02:31] <cables> carlhume, thank me, I called ubotu :)
[02:32] <bruenig> wow it fought through the smily
[02:32] <SpacePuppy> ubotu: thanks!
[02:32] <carlhume> cables thanks :)
[02:32] <matthew1421> how do I fix the arts server fatal error problem?
[02:32] <cables> ha
[02:32] <ConstyXIV> Cippy: do iwconfig in a terminal, and make sure you commented the right card (comments are marked by a #)
[02:32] <bruenig> smiley*
[02:32] <HP_Vue> I need help w/ grub
[02:32] <ConstyXIV> HP_Vue: what help?
[02:32] <_Tom_> How can I re-run device detection?
[02:32] <_Tom_> To populate /dev
[02:32] <cables> HP_Vue, you might want to try #grub
[02:32] <SpacePuppy> ubotu :) thanks!
[02:32] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:32] <carlhume> I'm trying to install 6.10 - after entering my name / password / name of the computer it takes me to a screen asking to Prepare disk space
[02:32] <o_0> has anyone successfully got bcm43xx drivers to work with edgy 2.6.17-10-generic kernel pls help
[02:32] <Cippy> ConstyXIV: what should i see after the iwconfig?
[02:32] <carlhume> The only option is to Manually edit partition table
[02:33] <cables> carlhume, do you have windows on that machine?
[02:33] <carlhume> cables, No, not any mor
[02:33] <PetFish> lo,  I am using Edgy with ntfs-3g for an external NTFS Formatted drive - Please dont shoot me down - Do I still have to defrag the drive because of the fs? If so, please how. If not - Love me ? :D
[02:33] <carlhume> more
[02:33] <o_0> edgy 64 bit
[02:33] <cafuego_> o_0: Yes, on ppc as well as ia32.
[02:33] <dimeotane> whats the easiest way to make some home movies into a DVD on ubuntu?
[02:33] <carlhume> cables:  A friend of mine threw on a copy of Opensuse
[02:33] <ConstyXIV> Cippy: itll list all your cards, and a load of info about your wifi cards
[02:33] <riotkittie> yay. i have 91MB free on /
[02:33] <cables> carlhume, and he killed off windows?
[02:33] <carlhume> cables, yes - no windows
[02:34] <cables> carlhume, you need help manually configuring?
[02:34] <Ireclan> OK, I lost my resolution. How do I get it back?
[02:34] <_Tom_> No-one knows how to re-run the hardware detection? :s
[02:34] <ConstyXIV> Cippy: itll just show a "no wireless" for your nonwireless cards
[02:34] <cables> !resolution | Ireclan
[02:34] <ubotu> Ireclan: 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
[02:34] <carlhume> cables - sure - if that's what I need to do, then I definitely need help :)
[02:34] <bruenig> _Tom_, restart the computer?
[02:34] <_Tom_> I'd really rather not, surely there's a way without doing thaT?
[02:34] <ConstyXIV> Ireclan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:34] <o_0> cafuego_: i have amd64, and i really could use some help getting the bcm43xx drivers on.. i have the ndis setup going now, and the driver is loaded but it is using wlan0 insted of eth1? not sure if this is the problem, i get and SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device when i click the network icon in gnome
[02:35] <bruenig> _Tom_, is this some crucial server or something?
[02:35] <Journeyman> why the heck is the apache package all weird and jacked up
[02:35] <Cippy> ConstyXIV: i missed a few lines while commenting them out. oops. i'll reboot again
[02:35] <cables> carlhume, you just need to create a new Ext3 partition after resizing the old one, and make that your / partition.
[02:35] <blanky> hey guys, anyone know of a way to make my linux install become a live cd
[02:35] <_Tom_> No, I'm refusing to believe it's not possible to re-run the detection.
[02:35] <blanky> Sorry for the bad wording
[02:35] <_Tom_> And it takes ages to restart with a live cd.
[02:35] <jumpkick> question...  In the past I've used $EDITOR on some UNIX systems to open the default editor (I think crontab -e uses that), is there an equivalent shell variable on Ubuntu?
[02:35] <_Tom_> So if there's a better way, I'm all ears.
[02:35] <carlhume> cables - The wizard doesn't detect any devices to partition :(
[02:35] <cafuego_> o_0: ndiswrapper does indeed use wlanX, it's designed that way. I don't use ndiswrapper, but the proper driver (and firmware).
[02:36] <PetFish> lo,  I am using Edgy with ntfs-3g for an external NTFS Formatted drive - Please dont shoot me down - Do I still have to defrag the drive because of the fs? If so, please how. If not - Love me ? :D
[02:36] <o_0> will the wl_apsta.o driver (cut with fw_cutter) work on a 64bit?
[02:36] <Journeyman> jumbers, that var depends on the shell
[02:36] <carlhume> fsck -f /dev/hda says bad block
[02:36] <cables> carlhume, can't help you there... is it some sort of exotic hard drive?
[02:36] <cafuego_> o_0: Just sue my package.
[02:36] <Journeyman> I think ubuntu uses bash
[02:36] <jumbers> Journeyman: Huh? You
[02:36] <Journeyman> by default
[02:36] <jumbers> You're talking to me?
[02:36] <o_0> cafuego_: where is your package?
[02:36] <Journeyman> yeah
[02:36] <jumbers> Journeyman: I never said anything
[02:36] <carlhume> cables, don't think so - SATA, 500 GB, Seagate
[02:36] <cafuego_> o_0: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/
[02:36] <bruenig> simply*
[02:36] <Journeyman> erm
[02:36] <Journeyman> TAB
[02:36] <o_0> cafuego_: tym
[02:36] <Journeyman> jumpkick*
[02:36] <cucu> hiiiiii
[02:36] <ConstyXIV> speaking of editors, is the vimtutor a good tutor for vim, or does someone else have a recommendation? (no holy wars please)
[02:36] <Ireclan> OK, it's wanting to know my driver.
[02:36] <_Tom_> bruenig: Of course. But I'd actually quite like to know the answer, because it could save me restarting again, and again, and again..
[02:37] <cables> carlhume, sorry... I'm not so great at the hard ware stuff
[02:37] <jumbers> Journeyman: I just got home 5 minutes ago and I haven't talked in the past few days
[02:37] <jrib> ConstyXIV: vimtutor is a good intro
[02:37] <o_0> what is the name of the package?
[02:37] <jrib> ConstyXIV: just read  :he  for the rest
[02:37] <jumbers> I just tend to idle in here
[02:37] <carlhume> cables, no worries, thanks anyway...
[02:37] <heatman> Hi, I have installed both blackbox and fluxbox from tarball but it seems that when it comes at the time to choose the "session type" both blackbox and fluxbox arent available. How can it be fixed?
[02:37] <jumpkick> Journeyman: huh?
[02:37] <ConstyXIV> jrib: thanks
[02:37] <cafuego_> o_0: bcm43xx-firmware; you'll find it in edgy-cafuego
[02:37] <o_0> ok, so i just apt-get bcm43xx-firmware and reboot?
[02:37] <carlhume> Anyone else have any ideas why the 6.10 live cd wouldn't be able to detect my hard drive?
[02:38] <jrib> jumpkick: $EDITOR should work if you set it.  You might also be interested in  sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[02:38] <cafuego_> o_0: You'll need to disable ndiswrapper, too
[02:38] <carlhume> Anything I should check?
[02:38] <cucu> hola
[02:38] <o_0> cafuego_: i understand
[02:38] <ConstyXIV> O_o: there is also a script in the bcm43xx-fwcutter docs that does all of that for you
[02:38] <bruenig> _Tom_, if it can be done, it would have to be done by rerunning init scripts (I believe) and as such it wouldn't be a simple, do this command. It would be a drawn out process figuring out which of the init scripts deals with the hardware and then even then seeing if they can be rerun without restart
[02:39] <Journeyman> jumpkick, man edit
[02:39] <_Tom_> bruenig: You're probably right. *sigh* Restart it is.
[02:39] <ConstyXIV> _Tom_: you could try /etc/init.d/udev restart
[02:39] <_Tom_> ..!
[02:39] <Ireclan> Guys, what do I tell it? It wants to know my video driver...
[02:39] <jumpkick>  jrib,  Journeyman:: /usr/bin/editor seems to do the trick... don't know if that will work on other distros through
[02:40] <ConstyXIV> Ireclan: what card?
[02:40] <cables> LjL, sorry
[02:40] <Ireclan> Integrated, no card...
[02:40] <Cippy> ConstyXIV: no luck, still. iwconfig readout is normal
[02:40] <norty> unop, that didnt work, i tried to delete the folder but it said: Directory is not empty
[02:40] <ConstyXIV> Ireclan: do you know the chipset?
[02:40] <Journeyman> jumpkick, that varible depends on the shell
[02:40] <norty> then i tried throwing my hd in another comp to see if i could mount the partition but that didnt work
[02:40] <cables> LjL, was that directed towards me? I've been trying to make Ubotu a bit smarter, thanks for giving me that pointer :)
[02:40] <norty> so im back to where we were
[02:40] <_Tom_> Oh god. Looks like I'm out of memroy and need to restart the damn live CD anyway :@
[02:40] <rob3r> hi, can i find information about the instalation of the xgl?
[02:40] <LjL> cables, yes :)
[02:40] <Ireclan> No. How do I find out?

[02:41] <norty> where did unop ho
[02:41] <norty> go
[02:41] <ConstyXIV> not sure.  does anyone know how to find the graphics chipset for Ireclan?
[02:41] <Journeyman> but typing man edit explains how to set that al up

[02:42] <cables> Ireclan, use the command "lspci | grep VGA" to figure out what your graphics card is

[02:43] <NkZ> Good Night guys
[02:44] <NkZ> I have a question: Is there any too to make my gNOME Menu (Not the panel) translucent? I've seen the Screenshots But I can't find the prog to do it.
[02:45] <NkZ> is there any way*
[02:45] <DjBrix> i can i get help in something weird
[02:45] <PetFish> ANYONE :( - I am using Edgy with ntfs-3g for an external NTFS Formatted drive - Do I still have to defrag the drive because of the fs? If so, please how. If not, Why not?
[02:45] <Pelo> NkZ,   you need to install beryl
[02:45] <Pelo> !beryl | NkZ
[02:45] <ubotu> NkZ: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:45] <DjBrix> How can i emulate an adsl line?
[02:45] <NkZ> Pelo: I have Beryl Installed. If that's the case, how do I enable to make it translucent?
[02:45] <o_0> cafuego: what is the name of the edge repo to add ot sources.list
[02:45] <Pelo> NkZ,  go and ask in #beryl
[02:46] <eitan> Pelo:  I havent tried installing kde by itself, just kubuntu-desktop
[02:46] <o_0> nvm
[02:46] <devz0r> i'm having trouble getting a dell printer to print right
[02:46] <Ireclan> Guys, it doesn't have a driver that says "Intel"...
[02:46] <NkZ> Oh, Will do, Thanks. :-) Very kind Pelo.
[02:46] <DjBrix> How can i emulate an adsl line so i can connect 2 computers one as isp and other as a client?
[02:46] <Pelo> eitan,  same thing ( more or less ),  does the kubuntu desktop work ?
[02:46] <NkZ> BTW, your nick means "Hair" in spanish, which is kinda weird. ha ha ha
[02:46] <devz0r> i have the driver installed and it's set up to print in 8.5 x 11 but it keeps wanting to print in A4 format, which i don't use and isn't loaded
[02:46] <Ireclan> It has several drivers that begin with "i", however.
[02:46] <o_0> brb
[02:46] <Pelo> NkZ,  tell me something I don't know
[02:46] <Ireclan> Are those it?
[02:47] <DjBrix> Hey can i get help or not

[02:48] <cables> DjBrix, okay, no idea... not even sure if that's possible.
[02:48] <[reed] > can anybody resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[02:48] <genejack> ConstyXIV, open it using K3B?

[02:49] <DjBrix> cables i have ubunto as an isp and i need to share the services of ubuntu to the other computer
[02:49] <Pelo> eitan,  install them using synaptic, should be easy enough, then resintall kubuntu-desktop
[02:49] <Xenguy> [reed] : I had this brain fart :P
[02:49] <[reed] > is there somewhere where I can tell the sysadmins?
[02:50] <gumpish> lucky for me my university maintains its own repo. =)

[02:52] <matthew1421> how do i get rid of the arts server fatal error sound problme?
[02:53] <Pelo> mindstate,  check in synaptic to make sure it is installed or not, the version number is also dislplayed there,  btw, if you are running gnome gtk is installed
[02:53] <ConstyXIV> Ireclan: wataminute, googling around to find the name of your driver
[02:53] <mindstate> Pelo: i am running gnome
[02:53] <Pelo> mindstate,  then you have gtk installed,   btw  edgy runs gtk 2.0 at least
[02:53] <Locksmith> Is there a way to rebuild gnome and rerun configurations to get rid of this error
[02:54] <mindstate> Pelo: alright then i should be good thanks

[02:55] <PetFish> Sooo... I am using Edgy with ntfs-3g for an external NTFS Formatted drive - Do I still have to defrag the drive because of the fs? If so, please how. If not, Why not?
[02:55] <EdgEy> sudo diff -r /media/hdb5/videos/music/ /home/edgey/music/
[02:55] <EdgEy> is that the correct way to find differences between 2 folders?
[02:56] <EdgEy> nautilus tells me there are different amounts of files, when i just copied the folder ..
[02:56] <EdgEy> i need to make sure before i delete the old folder
[02:56] <Pelo> PetFish,  I seem to remember someone telling me that ntfs drives don'T need to be defraged like the fat32 did
[02:56] <matthew1421> how do I disable the arts server fatal error problem with sound?
[02:56] <NET||abuse> hey all, where's the best debs to use for the non-free video codecs.. looking through the faq they don't show the deb lines to use.
[02:56] <Pelo> EdgEy,  check for hidden files
[02:57] <mackinac> EdgEy, http://www.ss64.com/bash/diff.html
[02:57] <EdgEy> it's the correct way to do it but it's taking forever, does diff verify each byte of the file
[02:57] <EdgEy> or just that theyare there and the same size

[02:58] <Eleazar> hi i'm trying to get giftoxic to work on my ubuntu edgy, but it gives me a segmentation default error after launch and closes inmediatly, anyone knows where else i can get it?
[02:58] <elpargo> hi could someone point me to a guide to configure my monitor
[02:58] <cables> !x | elpargo
[02:58] <ubotu> elpargo: 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
[02:59] <xtknight> elpargo: configure as in setup for linux or calibrate the monitor panel itself?
[02:59] <zackglennie> question for whoever: where do I change the "window snap" settings in GNOME?
[03:00] <elpargo> cables, thanks but I'm talking about something more advanced, I believe the "Generic Monitor" in my xorg.conf is causing beryl to lag.
[03:00] <Pelo> elpargo,  consider asking for help in #beryl
[03:00] <o_0> um, cafuego.. your pkg froze my ubuntu now it won't load.
[03:00] <Ireclan> ConstyXIV, I'll be right back, OK?
[03:01] <ronaldo_> hi all, is it possoble to install ubuntun via nfs?
[03:01] <elpargo> zackglennie, what do you mean by snap? everything is configurable with the program call gconf-editor
[03:01] <feryana> Folks
[03:01] <genejack> what is a sure-fire way to check if the CD is bootable?
[03:01] <zbadone> I had a DAT* tape drive, made some backups, just got a newer DDS3 tape drive unit, CANT seem to read my old tapes, are they the same format? I backed up via tar cvf /dev/st0
[03:01] <zbadone> DAT8
[03:01] <feryana> does anyone know how to install the nintendo wi-fi usb connector? I can't emulate it!!!!!!!!!!
[03:01] <zackglennie> elpargo: it's a setting that makes it easier to line windows up next to each other
[03:01] <cables> genejack, put a bootable CD in and see if it works
[03:01] <o_0> cafuego....
[03:01] <elpargo> Pelo, no this has nothing to do with aiglx or beryl is my monitor settings.
[03:01] <genejack> what if it doesn't?
[03:01] <cables> feryana, i don't think you can on Linux
[03:02] <o_0> your pkg killed my install
[03:02] <elpargo> genejack, boot from it?
[03:02] <zackglennie> elpargo: when you're moving or resizing a window, it "snaps" into place if you get it near the border of another window
[03:02] <rubix_> hey whats that command to reconfigure x, like dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[03:02] <zackglennie> eh, I gotta go
[03:02] <genejack> ok, let me ask you a more intelligent question..
[03:02] <feryana> omg... I thought so cables... and there is something to connect the wii thru linux?
[03:02] <zackglennie> desperate housewives time
[03:02] <norty> can anyone help me??

[03:02] <elpargo> zackglennie, ahh yes that's metacity, in the tool I told you it should be under that set of keys I don't know the exact path
[03:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about error 18 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:02] <cables> feryana, you can buy a router for probably about the same price as the DS WiFi connector...
[03:02] <genejack> if i am creatingt a data cd with an ISO image, using K3B, how do I select "bootable" option?
[03:03] <Pelo> later folks
[03:03] <mzanfardino> I'm attempting an apt-get update and failing to reach a number of ubnutu pathes... is there something down somewhere?
[03:03] <zbadone> I had a DAT8 tape drive, made some backups, just got a newer DDS3 tape drive unit, CANT seem to read my old tapes, are they the same format? I backed up via tar cvf /dev/st0
[03:03] <elpargo> cableroy, xtknight Pelo can we please up the "user level" I know how to write a xorg.conf by hand I just need a pointer to where are the values I should set for ubuntu
[03:03] <feryana> I hate routers... well thanks cables.  I will change my dsl speed so i'll request a wifi + cable modem.  Those work on linux rght? Dont need drivers
[03:03] <cables> genejack, you shouldn't be creating a data cd... you need to burn the ISO as an image. I know that in Gnome you can just rightclick the ISO and click burn to CD, but I'm not sure how to do it in KDE.
[03:03] <gumpish> mzanfardino: apparently
[03:04] <norty> can anyone please help me? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=358636&page=2
[03:04] <xtknight> elpargo: hehe.  user level upped! :P
[03:04] <elpargo> the generic monitor with only DPMS, I believe it's causing my lag. I'm used to set h and v resolutions and all
[03:04] <xtknight> elpargo: umm well "generic monitor" would likely not cause your lag
[03:04] <mzanfardino> gumpish: apparently as in I'm not the only one?
[03:05] <xtknight> elpargo: dpms is a power management mode.  your graphics card is still sending 60 hz to your monitor, as it really doesnt matter if your monitor is called "generic monitor" or "viewsonic vp930b" or whatever it is
[03:05] <sadistico> heatman: ok so i read the faq and have followed these two links to the "T"

[03:05] <x2mjokada> hey guys, i need some help.  I have a folder on my desktop that i want to delete, but when i go to move it to the trash, it says 'access denied'. how can i get rid of it?
[03:05] <sadistico> im stuck on the first link with the su command
[03:05] <genejack> cables, thanx, i think i figured it out, the name of the file (...iso.part) prevented linux from recognizing it as CDimage
[03:05] <cables> norty, if you changed the format of the partition, it's way too late...
[03:05] <genejack> many thanx
[03:05] <sadistico> it keeps saying su: Authentication failure
[03:06] <cha0s> hello, i just (re-)installed ubuntu, and theres a process running called 'scrollkeeper-update' that's taking 100% cpu, has been running for about 10 minutes now
[03:06] <norty> i can copy the files, its not too late
[03:06] <cha0s> anything i can do?
[03:06] <elpargo> norty, what file system?
[03:06] <cha0s> can i safely kill that?
[03:06] <norty> ntfs
[03:06] <cables> norty, you formatted the drive from ntfs to linux-swap... the data's gone.
[03:06] <norty> no iots not
[03:06] <norty> FUI
[03:06] <norty> CK:
[03:06] <elpargo> xtknight, so your positive that changing the defaults wont up my performance?
[03:06] <norty> i already copied the data from the partition to then linux partition its not gone
[03:07] <sadistico> *ungh good grief charllie brown I just want my wireless to work -=
[03:07] <cables> norty, if you already copied it, copy it to somewhere else...
[03:07] <mackinac> x2mjokada, sudo rmdir "path to folder"
[03:07] <norty> yea where?
[03:07] <norty> i have no room on that partition
[03:07] <cables> norty, get a USB drive...
[03:07] <bruenig> x2mjokada, sudo rm -rf whatever
[03:07] <norty> how would I copy it to a usb drive
[03:07] <norty> i dont know linux that well
[03:07] <cables> norty, how can you access the files now?
[03:07] <norty> ya
[03:07] <cables> norty, plug USB drive in, drag files over.
[03:07] <norty> i mounted the partition
[03:07] <cha0s> hey nmevermind, sorry, now it stopped
[03:07] <elpargo> norty, if I assume correctly your migrating from win to ubuntu and want to move all your music, code, whatever right?
[03:07] <norty> i cant see them
[03:08] <cables> norty, usb drives?
[03:08] <norty> im just trying to get the files off my copmuter so i can reformat it
[03:08] <elpargo> if u have 120G I suggest you use DVD or something
[03:08] <sadistico> can anyone help me with my wireless problem?
[03:08] <norty> i mounted the partition to a folder on my desktop
[03:08] <norty> i cant access the folder because i dont have permission
[03:08] <norty> i tried changing the permission but for some reason it didn't work
[03:08] <norty> so i created a new folder
[03:08] <norty> copied the files there
[03:08] <norty> changed permission
[03:08] <norty> and was able to access the files
[03:08] <elpargo> norty, you need to give the permissions on the mount command
[03:09] <bruenig> !enter
[03:09] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:09] <x2mjokada> bruenig, thanks dude
[03:09] <norty> but i dont have enough space on the linux  partition so i can't copy all the files over
[03:09] <elpargo> sadistico, what wireless problem? which card?
[03:09] <norty> how
[03:09] <norty> elpargo
[03:09] <cables> norty, if you can access them, just put them somewhere... if you can see them, you haven't lost them. Use a USB drive
[03:09] <norty> how do i give permissions on the mount command
[03:09] <norty> i cant see them
[03:09] <elpargo> norty, boot windows burn DVDs reformat everything is the fastest way.
[03:09] <EdgEy> norty, what you need to do is
[03:09] <x2mjokada> !azureus
[03:09] <ubotu> azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[03:09] <EdgEy> use root to access
[03:10] <EdgEy> what is probably happening is that the ntfs partition is mounted but only root can access it
[03:10] <norty> yea
[03:10] <norty> ok
[03:10] <EdgEy> try alt+f2 then sudo nautilus
[03:10] <norty> how do i become root
[03:10] <[reed] > gumpish: I just e-mailed canonical
[03:10] <sadistico> elpargo: its a broadcom card
[03:10] <cables> !root | norty
[03:10] <ubotu> norty: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:10] <[reed] > so, maybe it will be fixed soon
[03:10] <EdgEy> not sudo sorry
[03:10] <EdgEy> gksudo
[03:10] <norty> i tried using sudo
[03:10] <norty> didnt work
[03:10] <cables> norty, use gksudo...
[03:10] <sadistico> i just installed ndiswrapper
[03:10] <elpargo> norty, there is a flag you set on /etc/fstab with is the permission
[03:10] <EdgEy> gksudo nautilus
[03:10] <norty> gksudo
[03:10] <norty> eh?
[03:10] <norty> so wait what
[03:11] <norty> hit alt-f2
[03:11] <sadistico> and have the driver on my desktop
[03:11] <fiXXXerMet> Something up with us.archive.ubuntu.com?  (Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com')
[03:11] <cables> norty, then type "gksudo nautilus"
[03:11] <norty> then use gksudo and the chown and chmod commands to change permission?
[03:11] <cables> norty, we were suggesting using the gui
[03:11] <EdgEy> no, norty
[03:11] <EdgEy> use gksudo nautilus to try and access the files
[03:11] <elpargo> norty, mode=XXX where XXX is the unix permission you probaby want something like 755 and you need to put the setuid=yourUserId
[03:11] <EdgEy> all of them
[03:11] <norty> all i want to do is be able to access those files so i can put them on an external drive and get them off my comp
[03:11] <EdgEy> just to check
[03:12] <starz> u too eh fiXXXerMet
[03:12] <cables> norty, gksudo nautilus will let you access them.
[03:12] <fiXXXerMet> Yup
[03:12] <norty> ok
[03:12] <starz> annoying ~_~
[03:12] <cables> norty, that opens Nautilus as root
[03:12] <EdgEy> yeah then you can copy them to external drive without messing with permissiosn etc
[03:12] <EdgEy> permissions
[03:12] <fiXXXerMet> DNS or server problem?
[03:12] <elpargo> norty, ok ignore me EdgEy advice is simplier
[03:12] <norty> next prob, i dont have enough space on my linux partition to boot in, i can only use recovery boot
[03:12] <starz> fiXXXerMet i dont think the ip changes much
[03:12] <starz> so im guessing server
[03:12] <norty> how do i delete things so i can get more space
[03:12] <fiXXXerMet> Was hoping to get lucky :)
[03:12] <EdgEy> seems like the first time i have helped someone without making their life harder
[03:12] <EdgEy> :P
[03:12] <norty> i tried rmdir but it didnt work since the "directy is not empty"

[03:13] <norty> just type that
[03:13] <elpargo> rm -rf
[03:13] <EdgEy> usually -r for stuff
[03:13] <sadistico> can someone please help me with ndiswrapper?

[03:13] <ubotu> sadistico: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:13] <norty> so what i type rm -rf and it automatically knows what to delete?
[03:13] <elpargo> sadistico, hehe was going to ask that, so your card works on ndiswrapper
[03:13] <EdgEy> norty nah
[03:13] <norty> or do i need to inclue a path to a directory or file or what
[03:13] <EdgEy> f isn't needed, i forget what it is, force i think
[03:13] <cables> norty, no... rm -r path
[03:13] <Xenguy> norty: yes
[03:13] <elpargo> !mount
[03:13] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[03:13] <EdgEy> rm -rf /home/user/directory
[03:13] <cables> Xenguy, wtf?
[03:13] <EdgEy> something like that
[03:14] <Xenguy> EdgEy: -f is needed I believe
[03:14] <sadistico> my light came on
[03:14] <norty> so say the file is in /home/norty/desktop/folder
[03:14] <sadistico> so yeah
[03:14] <norty> i want to remove folder
[03:14] <DjBrix> cables i got it in google i need a dslam server thanks
[03:14] <EdgEy> Xenguy, nah
[03:14] <norty> do i type
[03:14] <sadistico> i think it just needs my driver now
[03:14] <cables> Xenguy, oh, i thought you were saying he didn't need a path :)
[03:14] <EdgEy> works for me with just r, i've never used f
[03:14] <elpargo> wtf that bot should have said man mount
[03:14] <norty> rm -r /home/norty/desktop/folder
[03:14] <norty> ??
[03:14] <sadistico> i dont know how to load it though
[03:14] <EdgEy> yep
[03:14] <starz> fiXXXerMet just take the us. out for now
[03:14] <EdgEy> woohoo, diff found the files that were missing
[03:14] <Xenguy> EdgEy: yes, if you have 'rm' aliased to '-i' -- that would be it, which applies to me
[03:14] <fiXXXerMet> yeah?  /me tries it
[03:14] <sadistico> i already went through those tutorials
[03:14] <EdgEy> skipped 2 folders by mistake when copying, not sure how
[03:14] <pibarnas> hey folks, what's the best app to copy a DVD on Ubuntu??
[03:14] <norty> ok ill be right back
[03:14] <xtknight> elpargo: i'm not positive of that but i'm quite sure
[03:14] <sadistico> i cant use the su command though
[03:15] <sadistico> keep getting an error
[03:15] <EdgEy> norty: gl
[03:15] <EdgEy> too late
[03:15] <cables> sadistico, use "sudo -i" instead
[03:15] <sadistico> su: Authentication failure
[03:15] <sadistico> Sorry.
[03:15] <sadistico> sudo -i alone?
[03:15] <elpargo> sadistico, in ubuntu su is "disable" use sudo everytime you need su
[03:15] <cables> sadistico, "sudo <command>" runs the command as root, "sudo -i" gives you a root terminal
[03:15] <elpargo> sudo -i <comand>
[03:15] <carlhume> cables, It was a bios setting
[03:15] <cables> elpargo, nope
[03:15] <fiXXXerMet> Good one starz, thank you
[03:16] <carlhume> cables, thanks for your help earlier
[03:16] <cables> elpargo, sudo -i gives you a terminal
[03:16] <cables> carlhume, I helped you?
[03:16] <BigMac> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide
[03:16] <BigMac> I got to the end of that and I got no errors and then on the verification the first line did nothing and all the following lines gave bash errors
[03:16] <EdgEy> hmm, anyone know of a simple command to delete all Thumbs.db files within a folder recursively?
[03:16] <EdgEy> heh.
[03:16] <cables> carlhume, no problem then :)
[03:16] <carlhume> lol
[03:16] <sadistico> gotcha
[03:16] <sadistico> ty
[03:16] <carlhume> cables, well, you listened to me babbling
[03:16] <BigMac> why would that happen
[03:16] <sadistico> what does su mean?
[03:16] <elpargo> huh ups I'm rusty, cableroy
[03:16] <elpargo> cables, *
[03:16] <Xenguy> EdgEy: use 'find' then 'xargs'
[03:16] <EdgEy> sadistico, switch user
[03:16] <EdgEy> that might not be the abbreviation, but, it's what su does
[03:16] <Xenguy> EdgEy: er, pipe to xargs
[03:16] <briguyd> hi, i just ran the latest updates on edgy, including a kernel update, and restarted, and X failed to start, i then ran nvidia-xconfig and startx and it still failed
[03:17] <cables> EdgEy, I absolutely despise OSs that crap all over your folders
[03:17] <EdgEy> and su without arguments will switch to root (you need to know the password obviously)
[03:17] <elpargo> EdgEy, actually it is
[03:17] <EdgEy> cables, i'm migrating my ntfs partitions to ext3
[03:17] <sadistico> hrmmm i should have got a staement saying [17179594.992000]  acer_acpi: Acer Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.3
[03:17] <sadistico> [17179595.000000]  acer_acpi: Wireless value 1
[03:17] <EdgEy> so.. yeah:)
[03:17] <Fujitsu> briguyd, you probably need to run the upgrade again. A bug in Launchpad occurred which caused that problem.
[03:17] <elpargo> EdgEy, in ubuntu it wont you need to run sudo su
[03:17] <sadistico> but instead i got [17181138.464000]  acer_acpi: Acer Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.3
[03:17] <sadistico> [17181138.464000]  acer_acpi: No WMI interface, unable to load.
[03:17] <briguyd> Fujitsu, how, just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[03:17] <EdgEy> elpargo, if you sudo passwd first
[03:17] <EdgEy> it will
[03:18] <Fujitsu> briguyd: sudo aptitude update, then sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[03:18] <cables> sadistico, for the time being, just use "sudo" to run commands as root.
[03:18] <Fujitsu> Or apt-get, if you prefer.
[03:18] <sadistico> i am

[03:18] <Xenguy> pibarnas: k9copy, or dvdrip
[03:19] <elpargo> EdgEy, yup if
[03:19] <Xenguy> pibarnas: if you want to transcode, then dvd::rip
[03:19] <hockyhair> cafuego!@!! come back
[03:19] <briguyd> Fujitsu, didnt seem to do anything
[03:19] <sadistico> cables: any ideas?
[03:20] <cables> sadistico, just follow the guide again now that you know to use "sudo."
[03:20] <cables> sadistico, I have no idea
[03:20] <HP_Vue> some please help! I am trying to write an ISO to a disk and I right click my iso and there is a drop down box labeled "write disk to:" And there there is a drop down box w/ 2 options 1) The name of my CD and 2)file image
[03:20] <Fujitsu> briguyd, it's possible your mirror still has the old files. I'm not quite sure how to proceed from here :-/
[03:20] <HP_Vue> i am in ubuntu
[03:20] <EdgEy> whoa
[03:20] <EdgEy> find is FAST
[03:20] <cables> HP_Vue, name of cd
[03:20] <HP_Vue> thanks
[03:21] <briguyd> Fujitsu, just wait?

[03:23] <briguyd> Fujitsu, could that be it?
[03:23] <ljlolel> haha that sucks-- i just got my friend to start installing linux through the windows installer project
[03:23] <tcpip> please help.. i need to limit bandwidth used by tinyproxy(my other pc)
[03:24] <Fujitsu> briguyd: It could be, yes. If you edit /etc/apt/sources.list (sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list) and replace us.archive with just archive, then run the update and dist-upgrade again, you might get somewhere.
[03:24] <tcpip> i installed trickle.. but how do i configure it
[03:24] <sadistico> cables: noone is in that room they're sleeping :P thanks thouhg
[03:24] <zyth> Uhh anyone got any idea why neither my home/end or arrow keys work for scrolling the page in Firefox?
[03:24] <cables> tcpip, try "man trickle"
[03:25] <Fujitsu> zyth: Ensure that a plugin doesn't have the focus. Click on a normal-ish part of the page, and try again.
[03:25] <briguyd> Fujitsu, i just checked it, its already set to archive, not us.archive
[03:25] <zyth> Fujitsu, aha.  Thanks
[03:25] <faolan> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[03:25] <x2mjokada> can someone please help me? I installed Azureus, but everytime i run it, it just closes by itself.  Does anyone know a fix for this
[03:26] <Wyzard> x2mjokada: What JRE are you using?
[03:26] <cables> x2mjokada, your configuration files might be messed up... delete ~/.azureus
[03:26] <faolan> I haven't been about to connect to it even via firefox
[03:26] <x2mjokada> Wyzard, jre 6
[03:26] <tcpip> cables: yeah.. can it be used for apps already started or need to start the app through trickle
[03:27] <_Tom_> Can anyone tell me what on earth the package 'at' is, in Ubuntu 6.10"
[03:27] <_Tom_> *?
[03:27] <Wyzard> _Tom_: It lets you schedule a program to be run at a later time
[03:27] <_Tom_> Ok.
[03:27] <cables> _Tom_, it helps you schedule tasks
[03:27] <_Tom_> Well, i'm building up from scratch.
[03:27] <cables> Wyzard beat me
[03:27] <_Tom_> I tried install dmraid before anything else (needed for my fakeraid array)
[03:27] <zyth> _Tom_, http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/ fyi
[03:27] <rubix_> i think i am having problems, i just updated kernel and graphics drivers
[03:28] <_Tom_> Thanks.
[03:28] <illriginal> anyone know if the server of azureus is down right now?
[03:28] <rubix_> now i don't have any x at all
[03:28] <x2mjokada> Wyzard, does the jre cause it to do that?
[03:28] <andres_> where find this file : /sda or  /dev?
[03:28] <EdgEy> andres_,  /dev/sda
[03:28] <zyth> illriginal, azureus is running fine here.
[03:28] <sadistico> has anyone in here configured a wireless nic before on a laptop?
[03:28] <Wyzard> x2mjokada: Java 6 should be fine...  try cables' suggestion of deleting (or renaming) ~/.azureus
[03:28] <EdgEy> !ask
[03:28] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:28] <illriginal> I get this error when tryin to download it from Synaptic: Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).

[03:29] <_Tom_> Anyway, dmraid failed to install .. so I installed the kernal, and ubuntu-standard.. but dmraid fails to configure, and ubuntu-standard won't configure without at being problem configured .. which is also refusing to configure.

[03:30] <l93p> hello everyone
[03:30] <cables> out of curiosity after rubix_'s question, how do I use uname to install a package with my kernel version at the end?
[03:30] <zyth> illriginal, beats me, I installed it with automatix (and yes, thats a huge awful sin here, I don't care, so if anyone wants to neep about it, redirect to /dev/null)
[03:30] <rubix_> cables: how do i tell my restricted   maduals version
[03:30] <_Tom_> zyth: That link is pretty useless without a search engine :/ I haven't got a clue where to look for anything.
[03:30] <l93p> is there someone around with expertise regarding nvidia-settings?
[03:30] <Fujitsu> illriginal, the Ubuntu package server in the USA seems rather unwell at the moment. That's the problem that you have encountered.
[03:30] <illriginal> is there another server i can use?
[03:30] <zyth> _Tom_, uhh... http://packages.ubuntu.com/ has the search...
[03:31] <frogzoo> is it possible to get windows to go into standby within vmware-player ?
[03:31] <HymnToLife> rubix_, dpkg -l | grep restricted-modules
[03:31] <zyth> :P
[03:31] <Fujitsu> l93p: Has your NVIDIA driver broken?
[03:31] <illriginal> oh ok Fujitsu
[03:31] <cables> rubix_, hmm
[03:31] <rubix_> 193p try #wine-hq there are a number of people there
[03:31] <andres_> EdgEy: ok. good, where find this file?
[03:31] <l93p> Fujitsu: no
[03:31] <Eke3> hey, i accidentally deleted "/var/apt/lists", what do i do?
[03:31] <Fujitsu> illriginal, which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:31] <l93p> Fujitsu: it just isn't working right
[03:31] <illriginal> Edgy Eft 6.10
[03:31] <cables> rubix, aptitude show linux-restricted-modules
[03:31] <EdgEy> andres , it is just there
[03:31] <EdgEy> what are you trying to do?
[03:31] <mike__> How do I add a module so it will auto-load on boot time ?
[03:31] <cables> rubix_, ^^
[03:31] <mike__> a kernel module rather....
[03:31] <cables> rubix_, see if that works
[03:31] <Fujitsu> Eke3, you sure that's the right filename?
[03:32] <frogzoo> Eke3: no such file
[03:32] <Hoosteen> anybody know what's up with the archive repos?
[03:32] <mike__> i know theres a stupid command to set that up... i just cant remember it ATM
[03:32] <zyth> illriginal, you could just set your /etc/apt/sources.list to point at say a ca repo for security instead of the US one for now.
[03:32] <Fujitsu> Hoosteen: The US one is down at the moment.
[03:32] <rubix_> cables that said "package not found"
[03:32] <clearzen> mike__: um, I think it is depmod I'm drawing a blank too though
[03:32] <Hoosteen> Fujitus, kk thanks..guess i'll have to sit tight then...hehe
[03:32] <cables> rubix_, make it linux-restricted-modules-generic
[03:32] <dibblego> I am SSHed to a remote machine that is being used by another user - can I somehow message that user?
[03:32] <illriginal> zyth, "ca repo" ?
[03:33] <fiberchunks> canadian
[03:33] <mike__> clearzen, naw, that does the module dependancy and ish...  im lookin for the modconf type thing
[03:33] <zyth> illriginal, you could change that 'us' to 'ca' and just grab it from the canadian repository for now
[03:33] <zyth> then switch it back when done
[03:33] <zyth> or you can wait
[03:33] <Hoosteen> Fujitsu, kk thanks..guess i'll have to sit tight then...hehe
[03:33] <illriginal> oh ok
[03:33] <l93p> Fujitsu: it's an issue regarding resolution problems at startup  makes gnome bar in weird spots...
[03:33] <cables> the tubes are clogged?
[03:33] <Fujitsu> Hoosteen, or switch to, as zyth says, another mirror.
[03:33] <zyth> cables, there's not enough tubes!
[03:33] <Hoosteen> fujitsu, yeah..thought about that...think i'll sit tight...hehe
[03:33] <tcpip> cables: thanks
[03:33] <Fujitsu> (oddly enough, us.archive.ubuntu.com works fine for me)
[03:34] <gerald> can anyone help me with dualhead with aticonfig ?
[03:34] <clearzen> mike__: It's modprobe then
[03:34] <gerald> i can't get my 2nd monitor to work
[03:34] <zyth> the Canada security archive was dog slow for me yesterday, but is fine now.
[03:34] <clearzen> mike__: Or just edit /etc/modules
[03:34] <moomoo> evenin
[03:34] <cables> rubix_, did that work?
[03:34] <zyth> gerald, did you try the ati control panel?
[03:34] <gerald> yes
[03:34] <gerald> i got the 2nd monitor to display something, but it's sort of messed up
[03:34] <rubix_> where is your sources.lst
[03:34] <saphetiger> Hey is anyone else having a problem resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:34] <cables> rubix_, why do you need to know that?
[03:34] <x2mjokada> hey guys, i have a file in the trash that won't delete, is there any way to get rid of it?
[03:35] <zyth> gerald, I am guessing here, but you may need a

[03:35] <rubix_> i'm having problems with us archives and i'm going to need apt to resolve this problem, when i find out what it is
[03:35] <gerald> i have the right resolution
[03:35] <[reed] > faolan: no, it's fixed now
[03:35] <Fujitsu> faolan: Not for long :)
[03:35] <newuser1> hey guys i tried to change the resolution in gnome but it only goes up to 1024X768 so i ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and seet higher resolutions but it still wont let me change it... any ideas?
[03:35] <gerald> do you know what the syntax is for refresh rates
[03:35] <gerald> for the xorg.conf?
[03:35] <gerald> i think tha tmay be it
[03:35] <[reed] > `dig @ns.ubuntu.com us.archive.ubuntu.com`
[03:35] <cables> rubix_, ouch... just the time for the repos to go, huh?
[03:35] <zyth> newuser1, do you have an ATI card by chance?

[03:35] <newuser1> i810
[03:36] <zyth> gerald, sec
[03:36] <rubix_> cables: yes
[03:36] <cables> rubix_, i have to go now, someone else will help you
[03:36] <zyth> newuser1, what video driver are you using in your xorg.conf?
[03:36] <sadistico> is there noone that can help me configure me wireless connection?
[03:36] <newuser1> i told it to use i810
[03:36] <newuser1> zyth im double checking it
[03:36] <rubix_> wait where is sources.lst again i can't scroll up sorry
[03:36] <zyth> gerald, for instance mine is
[03:36] <zyth>  HorizSync    30.0 - 75.0
[03:36] <zyth>         VertRefresh  40.0 - 80.0
[03:36] <gerald> i don't need quotes?
[03:36] <Cryoniq> This might seem like a scary question, but I have a harddrive with 1 partition of ubuntu linux, followed by swap partition and then I have 40 gigs free with nothing. I am thinking installing Windows XP on the last 40 gig drive, just in case for some progs that just didnt want to follow with me to linux and they are specific. Now.. will windows install overwrite grubb? And how do I add selection for windows startup so it show in gr
[03:36] <Fujitsu> rubix_, /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:37] <zyth> gerald, not for the sync stuff no
[03:37] <ljlolel> gerald: no, just type 30-70 or whatever
[03:37] <gerald> k, i'll try that
[03:37] <rubix_> Fujitsu ty sir got it
[03:37] <newuser1> zyth: Driver is set to i810
[03:37] <sadistico> oh well back to windows xp i suppose
[03:37] <zyth> newuser1, in xorg.conf it says i810 ?
[03:37] <x2mjokada> cables, i have a file in my trash, but when i got to empty it, it doesn't delete.  Is there any way i can get rid of it?
[03:37] <clearzen> Cryoniq:Windows will overwrite the grub
[03:37] <andres_> EdgEy: when initiates linux gave to the error and said me that executed fsck manually or something thus
[03:37] <newuser1> zyth yes
[03:37] <Cryoniq> =/
[03:37] <zyth> k, sec.
[03:37] <jrib> Cryoniq: yes windows will overwrite grub when you install it, see:

[03:43] <norty> no where
[03:43] <jrib> norty: if this is a one time thing, then cables' command should be enough.  But if you want to always mount this partition, you need to mount it with the proper permissions using umask
[03:43] <gerald> i tried looking on the ubuntu forums, but nothing much there
[03:43] <fiXXXerMet> The proftpd package is listening only on tcp6 - not tcp4.  How can I change this?
[03:43] <atlantia> i always thought ubuntu had the wifi support thing down, but you throw wpa at it and it shakes like a small girl
[03:43] <norty> im basically trying to get the files off my comp so i can reformat it

[03:44] <frobro360> hi everyone, i'm having a wireless configuration issue also
[03:44] <atlantia> so whats the way to get wpa working/
[03:44] <gerald> yea
[03:44] <_Tom_> *cries
[03:45] <illriginal> im scared to update.
[03:45] <zyth> atlantia, install wpa-supplicant
[03:45] <zyth> heh
[03:45] <illriginal> to the new generic linux
[03:45] <_Tom_> Why is it, when I install something with apt-get .. and it fails, that I can't uninstall the bloody thing again?
[03:45] <illriginal> last time it messed up my X
[03:45] <_Tom_> This is driving me up the wall
[03:45] <hockyhair> cafuego: are you there
[03:45] <rubix_> illriginal how did you fix it i'm having the same problem
[03:45] <cables> illriginal, as long as you make sure "linux-generic" is installed, it should keep your X working.
[03:45] <illriginal> lol you can
[03:45] <zyth> _Tom_, um if apt-get failed, it shouldnt be installed
[03:45] <illriginal> you cant
[03:45] <alephant> Hi all
[03:45] <illriginal> cables it did that <,<
[03:45] <atlantia> zyth,  i have it
[03:46] <illriginal> i still use my last kernel
[03:46] <illriginal> not the new one.
[03:46] <atlantia> zyth, http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[03:46] <_Tom_> zyth: But I've got all the required packages in for the particular package. Yet they won't install? And fail on configure.
[03:46] <gerald> zyth, which part of my xorg.conf should i put those options?
[03:46] <norty> Edgy what do I do when i hit alt-f2
[03:46] <zyth> gerald, display
[03:46] <newuser1> zyth: i tried just deleting it as well as reconfiguring and neither worked
[03:46] <atlantia> zyth, a half baked howto.. loses me at click gnome network manager, i dont have my wifi card in gnome net manager
[03:46] <rubix_> i'm using my last kernel and still no x
[03:46] <alephant> I'm not asking how to "build a kernel the Ubuntu way"... I want to know how to rebuild the actual kernel package -- I want exactly the kernel I have now (so that modules-nonfree, madwifi et.al. will still work) but with a few different options (timer freq, preempt)
[03:46] <frobro360> ok i'm using the wusb54gs on edgy, i've installed the ndiswrapper from the repo, and got my hands on the .sys files that are missing from the default driver.  it now tell's me "driver installed, hardware found" however after
[03:46] <EdgEy> norty, why don't you just boot back into windows and sort this out
[03:46] <atlantia> zyth, but i can use iwconfig and connect to wep and no encryption networks
[03:46] <illriginal> for now i wont update
[03:47] <_Tom_> zyth: Might it be a case of having an improper kernal installed?
[03:47] <illriginal> until there's a fix.
[03:47] <alephant> I've done apt-get source linux-kernel-$(uname -r)
[03:47] <EdgEy> clearly you should not be messing with vulnerable data
[03:47] <norty> Edgy, because the partition im trying to access doesnt show up in windows
[03:47] <gerald> zyth, so the subsection of screen?

[03:54] <klypso> Gog123: amen

[03:55] <frogzoo> Gog123: it's not easy to get a linux box to crash
[03:55] <alephant> I don't want a vanilla kernel build.  I don't want a make-kpkg.  I want to rebuild the linux-kernel* package, but with my own .config instead of whatever's the Ubuntu default.  I want all the Ubuntu patches, and the proper version string so that modprobe will work, but I want a few small tweaks to the .config.
[03:55] <Gog123> klypso:  Government, or someone with my ISP who knows.........
[03:55] <moomoo> alephant, well i tried to outline the basics ... hopefully you got that part about the ops.  they are opinionated and offtopic stuff is quickly shut down'

[03:56] <Gog123> anyways
[03:57] <Gator> cables: It keeps showing up as a blank document when I type {{{sudo nano /ect/X11/xorg.conf}}}
[03:57] <alephant> frogzoo: got that.  And I could just dpkg-makepackage to totally rebuild it
[03:57] <Gog123> you realize how much computer knowledge is swirling around us
[03:57] <[deimos] > Is there a problem with us.archive.ubuntu.com?  On a fresh install of 6.10 I'm getting errors connecting to the repo during an update.
[03:57] <zyth> sadistico, /home/yourloginname/Desktop
[03:57] <cables> sadistico, try "etc" not "ect" :)
[03:57] <moomoo> Gog123, what is paul allens dream?
[03:57] <alephant> I'm stuck on the intermediary step of how to tweak how the .deb will build.
[03:57] <fiberchunks> [deimos] , it's been fixed, but it may take a while to propogate
[03:57] <Gog123> i got so many errors in chkdsk and i noticed it cause my google desktop gave me an error
[03:57] <cables> sadistico, damn, wrong person
[03:57] <newuser1> zyth: interesting.... that forced it but now the edges are way past the edge of the screen lol
[03:57] <cables> Gator, replace "ect" with "etc" :)
[03:57] <klypso> hey, could someone shoot over to #grub...? need some help
[03:57] <zyth> newuser1, did you set the res too high for your display? lol
[03:57] <faolan> Gog123: why go after an ISP... political figure are way more fun to attack
[03:57] <alephant> That "wiki.../KernelCustomBuild" is merely how to do make-kpkg
[03:57] <Gog123> moomoo:  he funded rcn but then rcn collapsed financially and essentially stopped buildout and TREATED Customers like crap
[03:58] <sadistico> cables:=D
[03:58] <sadistico> zyth: ok ill try
[03:58] <moomoo> Gog123, what is rcn?
[03:58] <moomoo> sorry, just curious
[03:58] <Gog123> moomoo:  Fiber optics based provider
[03:58] <[deimos] > fiberchunks, thanks, I'll try the OpenDNS servers and see if they're up-to-date yet, Charter must be lagging behind :)
[03:58] <zyth> newuser1, try changing it in the system -> preferences -> screen res thing
[03:58] <Gog123> moomoo:  I am Fiber to the building
[03:58] <moomoo> ah, sorry to hear it failed
[03:58] <rubix_> whats the package name for the new kernel
[03:58] <Gog123> moomoo:  In the urban city
[03:58] <newuser1> zyth: could be... i guess this is i different monitor than the one i had
[03:58] <faolan> I go threatened by a cease and desist letter from the Government for something I wrote about Pat Robinson
[03:58] <faolan> like years ago
[03:58] <Gator> cables: Is there a command to immediately shutdown?
[03:58] <newuser1> its my sisters pc now
[03:58] <cables> moomoo, RCN didn't fail.. I'm using it right now
[03:58] <robbie_crash> thanks ubotu
[03:58] <wkdown> I'm looking for a good programming color-coded text editor for Ubuntu ... I use Notepad++ in XP but they don't have Linux binaries.  Anyone suggest a good one?
[03:59] <klypso> gwell, you still use it
[03:59] <cables> Gator, immediately?
[03:59] <cafuego_> To use ipsec on dapper with a prebuilt  dapper kenrel, I do *not* need to compile additional kernel modules, do I?
[03:59] <Gog123> cables:  It failed financially and went bankrupt and is now in piss poor shape
[03:59] <klypso> s/gwell/well/
[03:59] <robbie_crash> awww, no your welcome from the bot?
[03:59] <robbie_crash> *you're
[03:59] <sadistico> zyth: it keeps saying pattern not found
[03:59] <Gog123> cables:  it didnt fail in the sense of shutdown
[03:59] <cables> Gog123, ah.
[03:59] <Gog123> cables:  which market are you in?
[03:59] <sadistico> zyth: im using fwcutter
[03:59] <Gog123> cables:  please dont say cali
[03:59] <Gator> cables: yeah, instead of waiting 1 minute when I type {{{sudo shutdown 1}}}
[03:59] <klypso> Gog123: why do you still use it?
[03:59] <frogzoo> alephant: you mebbe should build like: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
[03:59] <zyth> sadistico,huh?  ok.. nm I misread something
[03:59] <sadistico> zyth: trying to get to my .sys file to load drivers
[03:59] <Gog123> klypso cause i didnt move yet
[04:00] <Gog123> waiting for me to move before i switch
[04:00] <klypso> away from New York?
[04:00] <klypso> ah
[04:00] <wkdown> I looked in the 'universe
[04:00] <Gog123> no
[04:00] <zyth> sadistico, the file is on your Desktop?
[04:00] <sadistico> zyth: yess'um
[04:00] <Gog123> klypso:  Newer apartment complex
[04:00] <alephant> frogzoo: Yep.  Still not at the step I need :-)
[04:00] <zyth> sadistico, waht is your login name on that box?
[04:00] <klypso> ah
[04:00] <sadistico> zyth: sadistico, real original i know
[04:00] <wkdown> I looked in the 'universe' and 'multiverse' packages but there's so many ... is anyone a programmer that can recommend a good color-coded text editor?
[04:00] <gerald> zyth, can you briefly check my xorg.conf
[04:00] <gerald> http://pastebin.ca/351356
[04:00] <zyth> sadistico, then it's in /home/sadistico/Desktop
[04:00] <gerald> i still can't get it to work
[04:01] <zyth> gerald, k sec
[04:01] <fiberchunks> wkdown, fancy gui, or console?
[04:01] <sadistico> zyth: yeah i know im typing that but everytime i hit enter it says pattern not found :P
[04:01] <alephant> wkdown: emacs and vim are both awesome
[04:01] <gerald> why do i have 3 screen sections
[04:01] <Gog123> klypso:  ill be using time warner cable in the new place, hopefully the IPO would have occured by then
[04:01] <wkdown> lookin for GUI
[04:01] <alephant> wkdown: lots of folks like kate and gedit, but I've never used either of them.
[04:01] <klypso> Gog123: you any good with GRUB?
[04:02] <zyth> gerald, try putting that in one of the other screen sections?
[04:02] <Gog123> klypso:  Time Warner is 10000/512k........ close enuff
[04:02] <klypso> vim all the way
[04:02] <sadistico> zyth: can i pm you a shot of my terminal seesion so far?
[04:02] <zyth> gerald, did you read the thread on the forums about this?
[04:02] <zyth> sadistico, ok
[04:02] <sadistico> zyth: so you can better see what im dealing wiht?
[04:02] <gerald> yes
[04:02] <sadistico> zyth: thx
[04:02] <moomoo> emacs is pretty much the mothership of all text editors however
[04:02] <moomoo> tons of extensions and stuff
[04:02] <moomoo> but ultimately its whatever works for you
[04:02] <alephant> klypso: whatcha need with GRUB?
[04:02] <klypso> moomoo: yeah, much to slow any GUI-y
[04:02] <Gog123> klypso:  I believe in open and shared knowledge, not corporate knowledge, but those corps keep knocking down the good guys :(
[04:02] <klypso> alephant: can't get grub to boot into windows
[04:03] <cables> klypso, try the #grub channel
[04:03] <fiberchunks> wkdown, http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html  some decent linkage there
[04:03] <klypso> alephant: menu.lst at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5360/
[04:03] <sadistico> zyth: ok i sent the pm
[04:03] <klypso> cables: tried that, no one there to answer
[04:03] <wkdown> tks fiber
[04:03] <klypso> cables: just echos from idle bodies
[04:03] <johnstar> does anyone know if there is a way to make g15 clock 12 hour?
[04:03] <zyth> sadistico, umm I don't see anything
[04:04] <sadistico> zyth: eh?
[04:04] <zyth> sadistico, put it on pastebin.ca
[04:04] <Gog123> klypso:  i dont even know which files were damaged.............. all i know is it had something to do with a corrupted file in google desktop, then it mentioned .dll files which had nothing to do with google desktop in index that it fixed
[04:04] <moomoo> klypso, i don't have any dual boots around, otherwise i'd fix it for ya
[04:04] <sadistico> zyth: what is that?
[04:04] <zyth> sadistico, a place to paste crap
[04:04] <fiberchunks> wkdown, if you're a kde type of person, kdevelop isn't bad
[04:04] <klypso> alephant: any clude?
[04:04] <sadistico> zyth: within xchat?
[04:04] <zyth> sadistico, web browser
[04:05] <mike__> okay the stalk kernel loads some Funky VGA console driver at boot time, that my monitor dont like so much, is there any way to Disable it ?
[04:05] <moomoo> while we are speaking of ide's, eclipse isn't bad either
[04:05] <alephant> klypso: looking...
[04:05] <klypso> alephant: thanks
[04:05] <fiberchunks> moomoo, indeed
[04:05] <moomoo> well eclipse power really is in the modules, so its only as good as the module its running
[04:05] <klypso> alephant: I get a error 29: diskwrite error
[04:05] <sadistico> zyth: ummmm i dont think i have that extension
[04:06] <sadistico> zyth: i tried opening a pm to, perhaps its autoblaocked?
[04:06] <zyth> sadistico, you go to pastebin.ca in firefox :P
[04:06] <alephant> klypso: I presume you googled that error?
[04:07] <mytruehero> How can I mount an ext3 filesystem so that non-root users can read/write to it?
[04:07] <klypso> alephant: just found changing root to rootnoverify, didn't help
[04:07] <mytruehero> Or rather, so that only a certain non-root user can read/write to it
[04:07] <jrib> mytruehero: use chmod and/or chgrp appropriately
[04:07] <sadistico> zyth: oh ok, thats new to me =D thanks here is the link http://pastebin.ca/351360
[04:07] <zyth> sadistico, ok sec
[04:07] <mytruehero> jrib: Can I put that in my fstab?
[04:07] <jrib> mytruehero: no it's just like any other file you have in your system.  You can set permissions on the files you mount
[04:08] <mytruehero> jrib: If I set it once, will I need to set it again everytime I reboot, and therefore remount the fs?
[04:08] <zyth> sadistico, when it asks 'Where can I find some driver source files?' what are you putting?
[04:08] <tha_toadman> can someone assist me with mounting a usb flash drive in ubuntu? i seem to keep receiving errors when i try to mount it
[04:08] <sadistico> zyth: the path to the file
[04:08] <alephant> klypso: is this error when you boot?  Or when you update-grub?
[04:08] <zyth> sadistico, that being...?
[04:08] <moomoo> tha_toadman, well you don't so much mount it, you let the system do it
[04:08] <moomoo> plug it in and it should appear on your desktop
[04:09] <klypso> alephant: when I boot
[04:09] <tha_toadman> moomoo - i'm using the command line
[04:09] <kazuka> hey
[04:09] <moomoo> tha_toadman, no desktop/
[04:09] <tha_toadman> alternate install
[04:09] <mytruehero> jrib: When I mount an ntfs volume, for instance, I can set the uid and gid to whatever I want right in the mount command. There's no equivalent for ext3?
[04:09] <tha_toadman> correct
[04:09] <moomoo> !mount
[04:09] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[04:09] <sadistico> zyth: /home/sadistico/Desktop/bcmwl5.sys
[04:09] <kazuka> does anyone know when will there be a ubuntu installer for playstation 3
[04:09] <frogzoo> tha_toadman: just plug it in - the HAL should pick it up if it has a valid file system
[04:09] <tha_toadman> when i issue 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash -- i get an error
[04:09] <jrib> mytruehero: no, you can set permissions on ext3.  They persist after unmounting and remounting etc.
[04:09] <klypso> alephant: should update-grub fix it?
[04:09] <zyth> sadistico, try leaving off the bcwml5.sys
[04:09] <alephant> I dunno
[04:10] <alephant> klypso: I was trying to get context for your error.  What do you do to generate the error?
[04:10] <Cryoniq> !backup
[04:10] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[04:10] <sadistico> zyth: still says pattern not found
[04:10] <frobro360> ok so no luck in #ndiswrapper, anyone willing in this channel to deal w/ a beginner?
[04:10] <newest> hey there, ive just installed the kubuntu desktop package on my otherwise ubuntu gnome lookin desktop, i have to add, KDE has faaaaaaaaaaaaaar superior look than gnome!
[04:10] <silence2205> hi
[04:10] <mytruehero> jrib: alright. do I do chmod +rw /dev/sdb1, or do I do the chmod to the mountpoint?
[04:10] <frobro360> regarding ndiswrapper
[04:10] <frogzoo> newest: only the default look ;)
[04:10] <klypso> alephant: I move down to the windows partition and boot it.  I get the error just after
[04:10] <jrib> mytruehero: chmod the mounted stuff
[04:11] <mytruehero> jrib: ok. thanks for the help :)
[04:11] <alephant> klypso: so you can't boot windows.  Thinking...
[04:11] <sadistico> zyth: im trying to follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Edgy
[04:11] <fiberchunks> chaining?
[04:11] <sadistico> yth: if that helps
[04:11] <Wimpog> GUYS, I have installed Windows on one of my HDD (primary) and Linux on another HDD, to keep them separate. The problem is, when I restart computer Windows starts up. That is I cannot even select Linux. Any ideas why that happens???
[04:11] <jrib> mytruehero: you should think of it just like any other file you have on your system
[04:11] <sadistico> zyth: if that helps
[04:11] <newest> but theres one thing i dont know how to do with this installed kde desktop package, how do i actually change an entire theme? with gnome it was to click in preferences and select 'theme', but im not sure where the option is for KDE
[04:12] <moomoo> Wimpog, grub isn't installed in  your boot sector in your primary hd
[04:12] <zyth> sadistico, are you running this with sudo?
[04:12] <moomoo> Wimpog, if it was it would of autoconfigured it self to show options for win and linux
[04:12] <Wimpog> moomoo: Probably not, how do I install grub in the primary HDD now?
[04:12] <sadistico> zyth: no, tat isnt the problem i dont think
[04:12] <moomoo> !grub
[04:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:12] <zyth> sadistico, try it
[04:13] <newest> wow, KDE kicks windows ass even!
[04:13] <Wimpog> moomoo: that's really not cool that this happens...
[04:13] <moomoo> newest, install beryl at some point as well .. .its beta and buggy but if it works for you, you will be amazed
[04:13] <frogzoo> newest: so does gnome in fact
[04:13] <sadistico> zyth: kk
[04:13] <moomoo> Wimpog, why not? its your fault
[04:13] <moomoo> you didn't install it
[04:13] <alephant> klypso: sorry, it looks like your GRUB is just fine.
[04:13] <newest> i found gnome kinda dull myself
[04:13] <zyth> bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware /home/sadistico/Desktop/bcmwl5.sys
[04:13] <littlegator> Is there any way to make window borders translucent?
[04:13] <alephant> klypso: not to say that there's no problem, only that I can't see one.
[04:13] <zyth> sadistico,   bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware /home/sadistico/Desktop/bcmwl5.sys
[04:13] <faola1> I could never get beryl or compiz to work :(
[04:14] <alephant> klypso: good luck :-/
[04:14] <moomoo> newest, yeah i can't stand kde
[04:14] <Wimpog> moomoo: Yeah, well, I honestly did not know. The problem was that Windows required primary hdd, so I decided to dedicate that hdd to window.
[04:14] <gerald> zyth, i still can't get it to work, here is the updated version of my xorg.conf
[04:14] <gerald> http://pastebin.ca/351366
[04:14] <moomoo> for me its gnome all the way, its good to have choice
[04:14] <newest> too true
[04:14] <klypso> alephant hmm
[04:14] <moomoo> Wimpog, right, you didn't know :) and its okay not to know just take responsibility for that :)
[04:14] <gerald> i tried putthing those 2 options in my ati aticonfig monitor 0 as well
[04:14] <gerald> and still no go
[04:14] <zyth> sadistico, I recommend you go read http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking#Using_bcm43xx-fwcutter_with_Broadcom_Wireless_Chips
[04:14] <jumburrito> Whenever I install nvidia-glx drivers, I lose video output in X. This has happened to me in both Sabayon and now Ubuntu 64bit, anyone available to help me out?
[04:14] <klypso> alephant: thanks then
[04:15] <zyth> gerald, ergh k sec
[04:15] <Wimpog> moomoo: is it something notToHardToFix ?
[04:15] <Wimpog> ubotu: Thanks for that link
[04:15] <moomoo> Wimpog, i've never had to fix that but you can install grub afterwards shure, i gaveyou the linkage on all that info up there
[04:15] <pollywog> I just upgraded my Etch system and I suspect that because initramfs wrote new images, my system will not boot, is there still a way to make a boot floppy in Linux?
[04:15] <moomoo> reasearch it and give it a go, make sur eyou backup important data of course
[04:15] <Wimpog> moomoo: thanks a lot
[04:15] <frogzoo> so like does anyone know why my doze xp VM doesn't allow suspend inside vmware-player ?
[04:15] <sadistico> zyth: ok now it says Cannot write to "sudo /home/sadistico/desktop/bcmwl5.sys"  (press RETURN)
[04:16] <moomoo> Wimpog, your most welcome
[04:16] <Wimpog> moomoo: I'm not very good in Linux
[04:16] <moomoo> frogzoo, #vmware for that :)
[04:16] <pollywog> I know Debian had makeboot or something like that but I am not sure it still works
[04:16] <frogzoo> !docs | Wimpog
[04:16] <ubotu> Wimpog: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[04:16] <zyth> gerald, ok, remove all the dual monitor stuff and get your xorg back to working with just one monitor then run 'aticonfig --initial=dual-head --dtop=horizontal --screen-layout=right --iagp=off -v'
[04:16] <Wimpog> moomoo: that's why some of my questions maybe stupid
[04:16] <moomoo> Wimpog, oh heck yeah, no worries.  welcome.  :)
[04:16] <frogzoo> moomoo: kthx, I'll give it a shot
[04:16] <comradeC> does anyone have expierence with broadcom 4318 wireless adapter, after a fresh install of ubuntu, it actually shows up as eth1, but I can't get it to find any access points
[04:16] <zyth> sadistico, you're tying something wrong somewhere.  It should'nt be trying to find anything called sudo
[04:16] <zyth> sadistico, I recommend you go read http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking#Using_bcm43xx-fwcutter_with_Broadcom_Wireless_Chips
[04:17] <moomoo> frogzoo, *nod*
[04:17] <gerald> k
[04:17] <tcpip> please help .. need to limit speed of users on tinyproxy
[04:17] <zyth> gerald, I am looking @ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors#With_the_proprietary_binary_driver
[04:18] <sadistico> zyth: k i havent tried that link yet
[04:18] <Gog123> anyone know if ubuntu proper will be able to be had with the freespire/linspire codecs?
[04:18] <littlegator> Is there any way to make Mouse3 act as it does in Windows?
[04:18] <Gog123> without the kde part
[04:18] <pollywog> does anyone know if the paid Ubuntu support is any good?
[04:18] <Gog123> or would i have to use the linspire/freespire base which will be based off of ubuntu to get them
[04:18] <moomoo> tcpip, thats not really an ubuntu topic tho ... we can really only help with ubuntu basic installs
[04:18] <BrianG> anyknow know why unbuntu will stop notifying me of updated packages?
[04:19] <Gog123> i prefer to use regular ubuntu
[04:19] <BrianG> has
[04:19] <Gog123> but if i have to ill use kde
[04:19] <moomoo> tcpip, the best source for tinyproxy info is on their forums i would guess
[04:19] <Gog123> and linspire
[04:19] <klypso> anybody else who has an idea about how to fix GRUB?
[04:19] <pollywog> Gog123: they announced the next Linspire version will be based on Ubuntu but I think they will still have the proprietary drivers
[04:19] <tcpip> moomoo: thanks
[04:20] <pollywog> klypso are you gettting an initramfs shell when you reboot?
[04:20] <Gog123> pollywog:  The collaboration between the two is great IMHO cause the biggest issue with ubuntu was the missing codecs
[04:20] <moomoo> yup
[04:20] <pollywog> Gog123: yes same with Debian
[04:20] <Gog123> pollywog:  so ubuntu just gets stronger :-)
[04:20] <pollywog> yep
[04:20] <littlegator> Is there any way to make Mouse3 act as it does in Windows?
[04:20] <klypso> pollywog: initramfs?
[04:20] <xerophyte> how reliable DVD backup for a data just wondering ?
[04:20] <moomoo> Gog123, its not really an issue at all ... its just that windows users don't understand 'freedom' and why its important
[04:20] <klypso> pollywog: I try to boot and I get a Disk Write Error
[04:21] <Gog123> pollywog:  I felt strongly when another distro came out, at the time lycoris but i think it wound up merging with mandrake or something and it sucked thereafter
[04:21] <pollywog> klypso yes I had that problem twice after upgrading
[04:21] <klypso> pollywog: fix?
[04:21] <moomoo> we have most of that but one should try not to use them as much as possible
[04:21] <Gog123> pollywog:  Ubuntu doesnt seem to be running into the same problem, it just keeps GROWING and getting stronger and MORE support than ever
[04:21] <pollywog> klypso: I think the fix it not upgrading
[04:21] <klypso> pollywog: /not/ upgrading?  what?
[04:21] <Gog123> pollywog:  Still #1 on distrowatch :-)
[04:21] <tcpip> moomoo: how do i lock screen.. like in windows (windows key + L)
[04:22] <pollywog> klypso: I think I missed up when I upgraded from universe and multiverse
[04:22] <moomoo> tcpip, click the power button and select lock ... or add the lock applet to your panel by right clicking and selecting it
[04:22] <faola1> I'm actually surprise SuSE hasn't been at the top yet. it is on par with ubuntu
[04:22] <klypso> pollywog: uninstall grub and get an older version?
[04:22] <moomoo> suse isn't on par with ubuntu
[04:22] <klypso> pollywog: is that how you fixed it?
[04:22] <pollywog> klypso: that might work but I had to reinstall
[04:22] <moomoo> as long as its based on that crappy rpm package manager suse users will forever be dealing with rpm hell
[04:22] <sadistico> zyth: on that link you gave me http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking#Using_bcm43xx-fwcutter_with_Broadcom_Wireless_Chips , am i supposed to be directing it to the .sys file?
[04:23] <Pelo> it is becoming difficult to troubleshoot my bro over the phone since he still insist on using windows xp and I am now on ubuntu. I remember that when two ppl use XP one can take control of the other's computer ( or at least view the screeen) using msn messenger, can this be done using gaim and msn ? or is there another alternative ?
[04:23] <pollywog> but a few minutes ago I did an upgrade and I think it was a big mistake
[04:23] <klypso> pollywog: i'll try that, and tell you how it goes.  thanks
[04:23] <moomoo> also suse has the huge problem of novel and their little deal with microsoft
[04:23] <Gog123> moomoo:  When google had to fight the DOJ on the alleged COPA incident
[04:23] <moomoo> suse will always have problems
[04:23] <pollywog> just don't upgrade from universe or multiverse
[04:23] <Gog123> moomoo:  I knew then what it meant
[04:23] <clearzen> Pelo: xvncviewer
[04:23] <Gog123> moomoo:  microsoft handed over the data, google didnt
[04:23] <sadistico> zyth: the part where it says [root@bigboy tmp] # bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware bcmwl5.sys do i just change the /lib/firmware directory to reflect where my .sys file is?
[04:23] <Pelo> clearzen,  on both computers or what ?
[04:24] <moomoo> Gog123, yup
[04:24] <pollywog> I thought Google caved eventually
[04:24] <Gog123> moomoo:  When I heard Marissa speak about it (shes vp of user experience at google) at stanford, i saw a person i admired so deeply
[04:24] <clearzen> Pelo: no, he needs a vnc program installed on his pc as well though
[04:24] <pollywog> but the data is aggregate
[04:24] <Gog123> moomoo:  She has her head on straight, shes a laser beam, i wish i was her :)
[04:24] <Pelo> clearzen,  thanks I'll read up on that
[04:24] <moomoo> heh
[04:24] <jumburrito> Whenever I install nvidia-glx drivers, I lose video output in X. This has happened to me in both Sabayon and now Ubuntu 64bit, anyone available to help me out?
[04:24] <Gog123> moomoo:  im dying to pop in by the hotel shell be at and thank her
[04:25] <gerald> it still doesn't work :(
[04:25] <moomoo> yeah so far they are doing a great job negotiating amine field
[04:25] <Gog123> moomoo:  i feel so bad about jim gray
[04:25] <gerald> should I mention my 2nd monitor is a 17" and my lcd monitor is a 14"?
[04:25] <Gog123> even though i disagree with microsoft
[04:25] <Gog123> moomoo:  He was one of the few good people at microsoft IMHO
[04:25] <moomoo> well, people die every day, they are all equally sad to my way of thinking
[04:25] <Gog123> moomoo:  Hes not dead, at least we dont know that yet
[04:26] <moomoo> well i wouldn't wish any ill will on balmer for example, balmer is probably a very decent dude
[04:26] <Gog123> moomoo:  its weird cause i had a call to my cell phone one day and I could have sworn I saw a 250 #
[04:26] <Gog123> which would have meant british columbia
[04:26] <Gog123> then shortly thereafter i hear jim gray is missing
[04:26] <Gog123> on the news
[04:26] <moomoo> he's just part of that american capitalist cult ... they have that strange way of interpreting captialism as a paradigm of worship
[04:26] <Madpilot> Gog123, moomoo - please take the off-topic chat elsewhere, thanks
[04:26] <Gog123> anyways
[04:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> well i was having no sound using onboard audio today which just quit for no reason that i know of so i went out and bought an sb audigy se and I still have no sound.  I have followed some howtos with no results pls help get my sound!! :)
[04:27] <killermach> I just ran lshw on my laptop running ubunutu 6.06 and it shows my cpu is a P4 2.4Ghz, but below this within the CPU category, it says "size: 1200Mhz", does this mean that my cpu is runnin 1/2 speed like it should if it were on battery power?
[04:28] <EdgEy> killermach, not just battery power. modern cpu's can scale down if not under load
[04:28] <EdgEy> try running something cpu intensive
[04:28] <sadistico> s
[04:29] <DEinspanjer> Hey guys.. Does anyone have pointers on doing a clean install of Edgy from a Live CD on a computer with an NVIDIA 8800 GTX?
[04:29] <loupgaroublond> why do i not have font smoothing in a stock install of ubuntu?
[04:29] <moomoo> DEinspanjer, just install it then install nvidia-glx afterwards
[04:29] <frogzoo> [BTF] Chm0d: sound -> volume control
[04:29] <moomoo> !nvidia
[04:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:30] <moomoo> thats all there is to do
[04:30] <tcpip> moomoo: i cant find 'lock screen' in add to panel
[04:30] <sadistico> can someone tell me how to get the permissions to copy a file to my /lib/firmware folder?
[04:30] <pollywog> it worked for me, installed nvidia-glx and that got everything needed
[04:30] <moomoo> tcpip, desktop and windows group
[04:30] <pollywog> I just had to edit /etc/modules and xorg.conf
[04:30] <EdgEy> worked for me with a 7900GTO
[04:31] <killermach> EdgEy: during this I was copying a 3.5GB ISO from usb2.0 external HD and my cpu fan was running pretty fast
[04:31] <jumburrito> when I install drivers for my card I lose Xserver video output
[04:31] <DEinspanjer> moomoo: I saw some references to an Alternate install CD, is this what I need to be able to install without X?
[04:31] <jumburrito> and I wish I knew why but I can't seem to find anyone that knows anything about it
[04:31] <EdgEy> why would you install without X?
[04:31] <moomoo> DEinspanjer, well you can remove x at any time, there is no difference
[04:31] <tcpip> moomoo: yeah i am looking there but theres no 'lock screen'
[04:31] <moomoo> DEinspanjer, alternate uses d-i for installation and it lets you install a headless system yep
[04:32] <pollywog> jumburrito: was it working before you installed glx?
[04:32] <jumburrito> yes
[04:32] <Music_Shuffle> EdgEy, servers, headless installs, etc.
[04:32] <DEinspanjer> Because the live CD dies saying that X couldn't be started because no Screen could be found.
[04:32] <jumburrito> it runs fine pre glx nvidia drivers
[04:32] <pollywog> jumburrito: does lsmod show the nvidia module loaded?
[04:32] <DEinspanjer> It is trying to use the nv driver which doesn't support the 8800.
[04:32] <moomoo> tcpip, i don't know what to tell you, its there for everyone else.  your not running feisty by any chance?
[04:32] <sadistico> can i have someone please help me a bit with this link? http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking#Using_bcm43xx-fwcutter_with_Broadcom_Wireless_Chips
[04:32] <EdgEy> DEinspanjer, ah
[04:32] <jumburrito> but when I enable the nvidia drivers in xorg X dies
[04:32] <sadistico> i copied the bcmwl5.sys file to my desktop
[04:32] <jumburrito> let me reboot into ubuntu give me a minute
[04:32] <pollywog> I think it's what DEinspanjer said
[04:32] <tcpip> i just upgraded from dapper to edgy
[04:32] <killermach> I want to burn an ISO to DVD, but K3B keeps crashing, I have no other issues, what other burning app could I use for this?
[04:33] <ardchoille> killermach: gnomebaker is good
[04:33] <pollywog> you need to replace the driver nv line in xorg.conf with nvidia
[04:33] <jumburrito> do you want me to boot into X or stay at the terminal
[04:33] <killermach> ardchoille: thanks
[04:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> frogzoo im not that dumb :)
[04:34] <jumburrito> that's exactly when the trouble starts, pollywog
[04:34] <frogzoo> [BTF] Chm0d: there's more options there than you know
[04:34] <pollywog> try to load nvidia module
[04:34] <[BTF] Chm0d> no ive tried all of them ;)
[04:34] <pollywog> oh did you restart the X server or kdm after you installed nvidia-glx?
[04:34] <jumburrito> gnome
[04:34] <zDesignerz> ctrl+alt+del
[04:35] <pollywog> gdm then
[04:35] <jumburrito> CTRL+ALT+Backspace right?
[04:35] <pollywog> no
[04:35] <zDesignerz> del
[04:35] <ardchoille> killermach: When you get gnomebaker installed, have a look at the Tools menu
[04:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> ubuntu is not detecting my soundcard...i thought for sure ubuntu would be ok with a soundblaster but it seems i was wrong
[04:35] <jumburrito> i followed a guide, think it was on the wiki
[04:35] <pollywog> jumburrito: /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> and this is a fresh install of edgy
[04:35] <DEinspanjer> So is the alt CD what I have to use?
[04:35] <jumburrito> yeah that was the other way listed, is that a better way of restarting?
[04:35] <moomoo> [BTF] Chm0d, it should be fine, they always work for me
[04:36] <pollywog> DEinspanjer: if you want to avoid a slow install, yes
[04:36] <frogzoo> [BTF] Chm0d: try under file -> change device & edit -> preferences
[04:36] <tcpip> moomoo: i tried switch user .. it gives me a login screen .. which is i want.. but it automatically shows desktop after sometime
[04:36] <pollywog> jumburrito: yes
[04:36] <sadistico> can i please get some help with a bcm43xx-fwcutter issue?
[04:36] <jumburrito> i did lsmod, what am I looking for?
[04:36] <moomoo> tcpip, nope
[04:36] <pollywog> jumburrito: look for nvidia
[04:36] <pollywog> is it there?
[04:36] <moomoo> tcpip, when you click the red power button you will have a lock screen button amonths the 6
[04:36] <[BTF] Chm0d> done that too....like i said it hasnt detected my card
[04:37] <moomoo> tcpip, oh wiat a minute
[04:37] <quinnster> I'm looking for a different look for Ubuntu and know I need to look for themes.  On gnome-look.org I see GTK1.x, GTK2.x, Metacity, Compiz, Beryl, etc. (many more).  What category do I want to look at for Ubuntu (or should I be looking elsewhere?)  Thanks!!!
[04:37] <moomoo> are you running kde?
[04:37] <pollywog> jumburrito: if not, then do modprobe nvidia
[04:37] <jumburrito> pollywog: I don't see it there
[04:37] <pollywog> then the lsmod command again
[04:37] <moomoo> tcpip, if so #kubuntu please.  we only help gnome/ubuntu here.
[04:37] <sadistico> can anyone help me with a broadcom nic wireless issue?
[04:37] <jumburrito> Not loading nvidia_legacy module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:37] <tcpip> am on ubuntu only
[04:37] <jumburrito> is that because I don't have "nvidia" in my xorg.conf atm?
[04:37] <ubuntu_cry> pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[04:38] <pollywog> jumburrito: I know the problem then
[04:38] <pollywog> jumburrito: yes
[04:38] <jumburrito> i reverted back to "nv" so I could load X again
[04:38] <ubuntu_cry> someone help
[04:38] <moomoo> okay, tcpip when you click on the pwoer button do you have a lock screen icon?
[04:38] <pollywog> put nvidia in there
[04:38] <ubuntu_cry> i can't make partition
[04:38] <sadistico> can someone please help me?
[04:38] <pollywog> then load the module and then restart gdm
[04:38] <tcpip> moomoo: no two buttons in top row (log out and switch user)
[04:38] <ubuntu_cry> when i run gparten
[04:38] <pollywog> jumburrito: one more thing
[04:38] <moomoo> tcpip, oh! i don't think you have screensaver installed
[04:39] <pollywog> in xorg.conf remove the load dri line
[04:39] <ubuntu_cry> and try to resize it give me 2 error
[04:39] <moomoo> tcpip, check system / pref / screensaver
[04:39] <pollywog> if you have not done that
[04:39] <jumburrito> no I haven't
[04:39] <jumburrito> where is it exactly?
[04:39] <pollywog> do that
[04:39] <pollywog> just a sec let me check mine
[04:39] <tcpip> moomoo: nothin like that here
[04:39] <moomoo> tcpip, thats why
[04:39] <ubuntu_cry> Parted can't resize partition managed by Windows Dynamic DIsk pleaseeeee someone help
[04:39] <moomoo> locking the screen simply invokes the screen saver
[04:40] <moomoo> sec
[04:40] <ubuntu_cry> bruenig
[04:40] <ubuntu_cry> man where are you
[04:40] <ubuntu_cry> tonyrussooo hey are you here
[04:40] <Boyman> me?
[04:40] <pollywog> in Section "Module"
[04:40] <tcpip> moomoo: gnome-screensaver?
[04:40] <moomoo> yeah thats the one
[04:40] <moomoo> install that
[04:40] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: you're trying to resize an NTFS partition?
[04:40] <jumburrito> what am I removing?
[04:40] <pollywog> it says "Load "dri" "
[04:41] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster i yes
[04:41] <jumburrito> i don't have that
[04:41] <Boyman> help
[04:41] <pollywog> remove one line, the one that says "Load  dri"
[04:41] <moomoo> Boyman, just ask
[04:41] <pollywog> good then you just insiert nvidia
[04:41] <moomoo> oh wait you did
[04:41] <Boyman> rdesktop
[04:41] <moomoo> heh
[04:41] <pollywog> and save
[04:41] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: I believe you have to defragment your NTFS partition first to have any luck.  Although the easiest way seems to be just backing up your data and making a whole new partition.
[04:41] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man can you help me
[04:41] <jumburrito> okay
[04:41] <jumburrito> now what
[04:41] <devz0r> ok this is driving me insane.  I am trying to print a test page to my dell 3100cn colour printer in the "Letter (8.5 x 11 in)" paper size.  I print a test page, and the printer beeps and complains that the "A4" dock isn't loaded with paper - but I'M NOT USING A4!  I don't know if this is a driver issue or a cups issue, but I am getting so frustrated with it.
[04:41] <tcpip> moomoo: thanks a lot
[04:41] <moomoo> tcpip, welcome
[04:41] <pollywog> now stop gdm
[04:41] <ubuntu_cry> quinster man how to defrag it man please say me
[04:42] <pollywog> then load nvidia module with modprobe
[04:42] <jumburrito> do I have to stop it if I am not in it?
[04:42] <pollywog> make sure it is stopped
[04:42] <jumburrito> okay what is the command?
[04:42] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: Well, you'd have to do it in Windows... There is a default defragment program and numerous freeware/commercial versions.
[04:42] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man i have faul 200gb i can't back up data
[04:42] <pollywog>  it's /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:42] <jumburrito> okay
[04:42] <jumburrito> stopped
[04:42] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster and when i defrag what i need to do after that\
[04:42] <pollywog> then do modprobe nvidia and then start gdm
[04:43] <sw33t> \say hey
[04:43] <sw33t> hello
[04:43] <jumburrito> Error running install command for nvidia
[04:43] <ubuntu_cry> !defrag
[04:43] <ubotu> defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[04:43] <sw33t> i have a question.
[04:43] <jumburrito> what did I muck up?
[04:43] <sw33t> \say how do i enable Telnet on ubuntu?
[04:43] <clearzen> How do you change the skydome in beryl?
[04:43] <sw33t> how do i enable telnet on ubuntu?
[04:43] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: well, after you defrag it should show you where your data is.  you want all the data to be moved from the right (end) to the left (beginning) so that whatever you use can know it can use the empty part of your NTFS partition and resize it.
[04:43] <sw33t> how do i enable telnet on ubuntu?
[04:43] <pollywog> when you installed nvidia-glx were some other packages fetched?
[04:43] <sw33t> how do i enable telnet on ubuntu?
[04:44] <jumburrito> gosh I don't remember
[04:44] <jumburrito> it was yesterday that I installed nvidia-glx
[04:44] <killermach> ardchoille: ok.. I figured out why k3b crashes, /var/log/messages shows "localhost kernel: [17191591.736000]  usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 7"
[04:44] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: I never had great success with this.  It depends on how full your 200GB drive is and how much room there is to rearrange stuff--and on MS's defrag program which doesn't put this at its highest priority.
[04:44] <binarydigit> sw33t: why would yo udo such a thing
[04:44] <binarydigit> sw33t: use ssh
[04:44] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man i will try becouse in the moment i can't backup data all data that i backup is 300gb and i need to return Seagate 200GB
[04:44] <sw33t> cause im runing a czero server
[04:44] <moomoo> sw33t, you just install it fbut for f's sake don't ever use telnet
[04:44] <killermach> wonder why my device goes offline.. time for testing
[04:44] <clearzen> sw33t: or rlogin I guess
[04:44] <sw33t> and umm i vnc it cause dont have monitor
[04:44] <Hirvinen> sw33t: You don't want to enable telnet.
[04:44] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man listen now
[04:44] <binarydigit> use ssh for the love of god
[04:45] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man i have on 300gb free 21gb
[04:45] <sw33t> When i VNC i cant see other login screens when i press ctrl+alt
[04:45] <sw33t> and dats y i need telnet.
[04:45] <binarydigit> huh
[04:45] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster and i want to install this 21gb UBuntu or WIndows xp
[04:45] <clearzen> sw33t: lol
[04:45] <pollywog> jumburrito: do dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[04:45] <sw33t> so how can i do dat?
[04:45] <tcpip> moomoo: installed screensaver, its shows a lock button.. but it aint locking
[04:45] <binarydigit> sw33t: not making much sense
[04:45] <sw33t> ok listen
[04:45] <jumburrito> what am I looking for?
[04:46] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster but when i run partition magic it give me yellow and from there i can't partition it,the only thing that UBUntu give me is from gparted
[04:46] <pollywog> two nvidia packages
[04:46] <sw33t> u know how u can login more dan once on linux.?
[04:46] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: well, defragmenters usually request ~15% free disk space at a minimum to move stuff around.  if you have lots of big files it may be tough with limited space.  So, you want a 185GB WinXP partition and a 15GB Ubuntu or WindowsXP partition?
[04:46] <sw33t> with ctrl+alt and 1 true 6
[04:46] <pollywog> nvidia-glx and nvidia-common
[04:46] <binarydigit> right
[04:46] <moomoo> tcpip, well turn it on in the system/preferences/screensaver dealie
[04:46] <jumburrito> I have glx   glx-legacy     kernel-common for nvidia
[04:46] <sw33t> i cant see it when i vnc linux is all black
[04:46] <sw33t> .say so i need telnet.
[04:46] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: well, I would defragment and see what success that will give you.  Like I said, may not be a lot.  If you're actually using that much of your hard drive, I'd suggest buying a backup.
[04:46] <pollywog> jumburrito: Edgy?
[04:46] <binarydigit> vnc only works through X
[04:46] <jumburrito> yes
[04:46] <jumburrito> 64bit
[04:46] <binarydigit> use ssh, you dont need telner
[04:47] <pollywog> I think that is wrong but I don't use 64 bit
[04:47] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man i have 300gb how free i need to have to defragment need to be succesful.
[04:47] <pollywog> are you sure you changed the nv line to nvidia correctly?
[04:47] <jumburrito> yes
[04:47] <pollywog> in xorg.conf
[04:47] <pollywog> k
[04:47] <jumburrito> the legacy entry seems to be an earlier version than the regualar glx
[04:48] <pollywog> try lsmod | grep nvidia
[04:48] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: as I said, most programs I've dealt with request a minimum of 15% (apx) to do their work.  But, I'm confused.  Do you have an empty 300GB drive and a mostly full (185GB) 200GB drive?
[04:48] <jumburrito> nothin happened
[04:48] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man listen
[04:48] <pollywog> you are doing this with sudo or as root?
[04:48] <jumburrito> sudo
[04:48] <kitche> jumburrito: nvidia-legacy and nvidia-glx is almost he same version just that nvidia numbers them different
[04:48] <pollywog> k
[04:49] <jumburrito> oh okay
[04:49] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man now i have 300gb hard disk and have 21gb from him free
[04:49] <jumburrito> so I got them at the same time?
[04:49] <pollywog> do you have nvidia-common installed?
[04:49] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster and i have 200gb that i need to return today to Seagate becoue smart status sais that is bad\
[04:49] <pollywog> nvidia-kernel-common
[04:49] <jumburrito> me?
[04:49] <pollywog> yes
[04:49] <jumburrito> I couldn't say
[04:50] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster and now all backup is in 300gb and now i have 21 gb free
[04:50] <jumburrito> if so, I didn't do it
[04:50] <pollywog> dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[04:50] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster now what i need to do,please man say something.
[04:50] <jumburrito> when I do that command it shows up, does that mean it is installed?
[04:51] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: OK, well 21GB free is less than 15% free.  So, try to defrag.  Try it more than once.  See if it can move the data towards the beginning of the partition (it will show you a diagram).  But, being so full you might not have as much success.  You'll have to give it a try to find out.
[04:51] <pollywog> does it show ii at the beginning of the lne?
[04:51] <pollywog> line
[04:51] <jumburrito> yes
[04:51] <pollywog> it is installed then
[04:51] <jumburrito> rc is in front of nvidia-glx and ii is in front of the legacy drivers
[04:51] <jumburrito> does that mean glx is not installed?
[04:51] <pollywog> k that means it is removed
[04:51] <sw33t> how i enable ssh?
[04:51] <pollywog> install it
[04:51] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man.Thanks i will see now ok see ya .
[04:51] <ron_o> can one burn a ubuntu iso to a cd-rw?
[04:51] <quinnster> ubuntu_cry: good luck
[04:51] <quinnster> ron_o: yes
[04:52] <ubuntu_cry> quinnster man.THANKS.
[04:52] <jumburrito> sudo install nvidia-glx    ?
[04:52] <pollywog> yes
[04:52] <jumburrito> i want to make sure I do this right =)
[04:52] <ron_o> quinnster: someone in #hardware said no, and I'm getting errors on my install disk.
[04:52] <pollywog> sudo apt-get install
[04:52] <pollywog> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[04:52] <sw33t> how i install ssh?
[04:52] <jumburrito> install: missing destination file operand after 'nvidia-glx'
[04:52] <jumburrito> oh
[04:52] <ron_o> it says the CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation.
[04:52] <pollywog> sw33t: sudo apt-get install ssh
[04:52] <Wimpog> GUYS is it a good idea to use LVM for Ubuntu Server??? When should LVM be used?
[04:53] <moomoo> !lvm
[04:53] <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
[04:53] <Kickersny> how can I log off all users?
[04:53] <jumburrito> okay
[04:53] <jumburrito> done
[04:53] <jumburrito> no errors
[04:53] <quinnster> ron_o: Is it a re-writable CD that's been re-written quite a few times?
[04:53] <sw33t> cool
[04:53] <pollywog> now try to load nvidia module
[04:53] <pollywog> modprobe nvidia
[04:53] <ron_o> quinnster: no. Only once or twice.
[04:53] <sw33t> how i acess from windowns now
[04:53] <jumburrito> same thing
[04:53] <pollywog> sudo modprobe nvidia
[04:54] <pollywog> you might have some other module loaded that is interfering
[04:54] <pollywog> rmmod nv
[04:54] <jumburrito> okay, it didn't error this time
[04:54] <pollywog> k
[04:54] <killermach> ardchoille: ouch.. gnomebaker made a disc that my dvd player says "disc error" when I press play. the ext. DVDRW did not go "USB Offline" this time, so I'm not sure if the problem was k3b, the usb dvdrw or gnomebaker now hmmm
[04:54] <quinnster> ron_o: To make sure I'm not wrong I checked a Ubuntu download and the ISO is < 700MB ( http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/ubuntu-cd/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso ) so I don't see how that wouldn't fit on a CD (non-business card CD assumed).
[04:54] <pollywog> now restart gdm
[04:54] <jumburrito> took a second but never returned anything
[04:54] <pollywog>  use /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:55] <ron_o> quinnster: then why the error? It says my medium is unsuitable. Maybe some other error.
[04:55] <ardchoille> killermach: Are you backing up a DVD movie?
[04:55] <quinnster> ron_0: I had something similar happen to me with a RW DVD for Vista.  Searching forums said to use a new non RW DVD.
[04:55] <jumburrito> nope
[04:55] <whitehawk1966> Just did a Fresh install - I change the Video resultion - now gone crazy - How do I reset?
[04:55] <jumburrito>  heard the sound but my monitor lost signal
[04:55] <pollywog> lsmod
[04:55] <pollywog> sudo lsmod
[04:55] <d0uglas> what's the gnome equiv of superkaramba?
[04:55] <pollywog> is nvidia there?
[04:56] <iSeriesTech> hello
[04:56] <iSeriesTech> question please
[04:56] <quinnster> ron_o: That fixed the problem for me.  I've never gotten into it, but apparently there are many different qualities of CD/DVD media and the RW stuff is cheaper.
[04:56] <killermach> ardchoille: no I filmed a play to minidv , then made a dvd, saved as an ISO  and have already made some copies so the ISO is good.. maybe I had bad media on the dvdrw
[04:56] <kitche> d0uglas: maybe gdesklets but gnome doesn't really have a thing like superkaramba that I know of
[04:56] <sw33t> how i ssh to windows/?
[04:56] <iSeriesTech> I just upgraded Ubuntu 6.10 to the .11 kernal
[04:56] <sw33t> do i use putty?
[04:56] <iSeriesTech>  and now X wont start? Any clues?
[04:56] <quinnster> sw33t: Yes, putty is good.
[04:56] <d0uglas> kitche: well then i guess it's kubuntu time ;)
[04:56] <quinnster> sw33t: and WinSCP is good for file transfers (over SSH).
[04:56] <jumburrito> yes
[04:57] <jumburrito> first module shown
[04:57] <whitehawk1966> ?
[04:57] <d0uglas> momma's gotta have her embedded cpu monitor
[04:57] <kitche> sw33t: to or from since windows doesn't have a true sshd server it has ports
[04:57] <ardchoille> killermach: Yeah, perhaps the DVDRW was bad media. I have had no problems with gnomebaker at all.
[04:57] <pollywog> what errors do you see when you restart gdm?
[04:57] <d0uglas> translucent over her central park background
[04:57] <pollywog> there should be some errors in a log file
[04:57] <jumburrito> i didn't get to see any errors, it just started gdm
[04:57] <iSeriesTech> just that it will not start or is not configured right
[04:57] <jumburrito> but when gdm starts, I lose video output
[04:58] <pollywog> try this key combo
[04:58] <jumburrito> but it started, I heard the sound made when the login screen pops up
[04:58] <pollywog> ctrl-alt-f7
[04:58] <jumburrito> nope
[04:58] <jumburrito> no video
[04:58] <iSeriesTech> I just upgraded Ubuntu 6.10 to the .11 kernal
[04:58] <jumburrito> ctrl-alt-f1 and it comes back
[04:58] <frobro360> question, got an issue, ndiswrapper could really use some help
[04:58] <iSeriesTech>  and now X wont start? Any clues?
[04:58] <killermach> ardchoille: hmm.. gnomebaker finished a 3.5GB iso in 4 minutes I turn the disc over and compare it to one that plays and it only burned 1/4 of what it should have
[04:58] <pollywog> jumburrito: I don't know what is wrong
[04:59] <jumburrito> story of my life =(
[04:59] <killermach> ardchoille: well I'm not quick to blame gnomebaker.. cause I was already having problems
[04:59] <jumburrito> i had the same issue with Sabayon
[04:59] <pollywog> the only thing left to try is a reboot
[04:59] <killermach> ardchoille: now gnomebaker is taking more than 20 minutes
[04:59] <EvilMonk> I am trying to get xgl working, but i don't have gnome-window-decorator on the system, what package do i need?
[04:59] <pollywog> but don't do that if you are not sure it won't boot
[04:59] <jumburrito> okay
[04:59] <pollywog> but don't do that if you are not sure it will boot
[04:59] <jumburrito> it always boots
[04:59] <pollywog> k
[05:00] <jumburrito> but when I boot into GUI, i lose video and have to ctrl-alt-f1 to see again
[05:00] <mhiku> where can i download gnatbind? what website?
[05:00] <mackinac> iSeriesTech, the kernel update has caused a lot of people trouble - check ubuntuforums
[05:00] <mhiku> i mean who owns gnatbind?
[05:00] <jumburrito> my monitor goes into no signal mode and starts searching for active inputs
[05:00] <frobro360> using wusb54gs got drivers loaded and "working" in ndiswrapper, not getting interface in network configuration
[05:00] <jumburrito> and then when I disable GUI it comes back immediately
[05:01] <frobro360> loaded the module and everything
[05:01] <kitche> iSeriesTech: use the old kernel for now or install your video driver manually sicne I bet you have an ati or nvidia card
[05:01] <pollywog> you are sure an X server is installed?
[05:01] <sw33t> ok i did it
[05:01] <jumburrito> i'm at the login screen with no video
[05:01] <sw33t> but
[05:01] <sw33t> How can i check my other seesions?
[05:01] <sw33t> like 1 and 2?
[05:01] <pollywog> you might try tasksel
[05:01] <jumburrito> I imagine, wouldn't there have to be if I could boot up into it
[05:01] <pollywog> and select desktop
[05:01] <kitche> jumburrito: it soudsn liekt o me X is setup for wrong frequency
[05:01] <sw33t> i wan to see wuts running on ctrl+alt+f2
[05:01] <sw33t> is it posible with SSH?
[05:02] <sw33t> i wan to see wuts running on ctrl+alt+f2
[05:02] <sw33t> is it posible with SSH?
[05:02] <jumburrito> what am I doing with tasksel?
[05:02] <jumburrito> how can I change the frequency?
[05:02] <pollywog> kitche might be right
[05:02] <pollywog> or you do not have an X server installed
[05:02] <jumburrito> my montior will do 12x10@75
[05:03] <jumburrito> how would I know if I don't have an X server
[05:03] <fiberchunks> see if there's an XFree log in /var/log
[05:03] <pollywog> what I did was I started tasksel
[05:03] <pollywog> but check for a log file first
[05:03] <kitche> jumburrito: /var/log/Xorg.0.log see if it says anything
[05:03] <jumburrito> no Xfree log, just Xorg logs
[05:04] <pollywog> check that log then
[05:04] <pollywog> I wonder if the command that installs a windowing system in Debian would work here
[05:05] <pollywog> do the update-alternatives commands work in Ubuntu?
[05:06] <IanL> pollywog: I've used them,
[05:06] <britt> how do i run programs at login BEFORE X boots up?
[05:06] <jumburrito> the only Errors I see pertain to /dev/wacom  and /usr/share/fonts/X11 stuff
[05:07] <jumburrito> the fonts errors are at the bottom of the log, 3 of them
[05:07] <fiberchunks> well, if you don't have a wacom tablet, you can remove all that cruft from the file (why do they do that by default, anyway?)
[05:07] <pollywog> jumburrito you have an nvidia card installed right?
[05:07] <shatrat> jumbers, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and chooes the defaults when you dont know the answer to the script
[05:07] <jumburrito> installed in my machine?
[05:08] <jumburrito> yes
[05:08] <pollywog> yes
[05:08] <pollywog> k
[05:08] <jumburrito> haha
[05:08] <jumburrito> gotta ask, huh?
[05:08] <pollywog> try what shatrat said
[05:08] <jumbers> shatrat: Wrong person ;)
[05:08] <jumburrito> lol
[05:08] <shatrat> jumbers, yeah, well its always a fun little script.
[05:08] <fiberchunks> heh
[05:08] <shatrat> jumburrito, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:08] <britt> how do i run a script automatically before X starts up
[05:09] <shatrat> jumburrito, if you had nvidia drivers and they broke with the kernel upgrade, choose the "nv" driver when you get ot that part
[05:09] <pollywog> britt that depends on the session manager, you using one?
[05:09] <jumburrito> i don't know what that means
[05:09] <britt> pollywog: currently, not now
[05:09] <jumburrito> i see nv and nvidia drivers on the list
[05:09] <sadistico> zyth: im still trying that link you gave me
[05:10] <shatrat> jumburrito, use the "nv" one and you will get a limited graphical environment back
[05:10] <nastjuid> diggin ubuntu so far, but when i try to use the 'nv' driver, i get graphical errors and the system hangs. What are the nvidia drivers called?
[05:10] <sadistico> zyth: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking#Using_bcm43xx-fwcutter_with_Broadcom_Wireless_Chips
[05:10] <pollywog> britt: either in ~/.xsession or .xinitrc
[05:10] <jumburrito> oh is this the equivilent of putting "nv" back in xorg.conf?
[05:10] <pollywog> britt: either in ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc
[05:11] <pollywog> depending on whether kde or gnome
[05:11] <sadistico> zyth: im thinking that if i could just copy that bcmwl5.sys file to the /lib/fIrmware folder it will work
[05:11] <shatrat> jumburrito, yeah, you could just do that if youre more comfortable with it
[05:11] <shatrat> jumburrito, thats how I do it in fact
[05:11] <jumburrito> yeah I've done it a few times recently =P
[05:11] <sadistico> anyone know how i can get access to my /lib/firware folder I mean to be able to copy files to it?
[05:11] <shatrat> jumburrito, well, once youve got an xorg.conf that you think looks good,, you can use the commadn "startx"
[05:12] <shatrat> !sudo|sadistico
[05:12] <ubotu> sadistico: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:12] <sadistico> eh?
[05:12] <pollywog> jumburrito: I thought you were using gdm
[05:12] <stochastic> hey room, does anyone know where the icon files in ubuntu's main menu are located?
[05:12] <sadistico> im trying to copy it in the browser
[05:12] <jumburrito> i don't know
[05:12] <jumburrito> i'm so new it hurts
[05:12] <sadistico> i dont know how to do it through the terminal
[05:12] <pollywog> if you are not using a session manager you use the startx command in a console
[05:13] <jumburrito> people keep shoving these words in my face and I don't know what all of them mean when I say them in IRC
[05:13] <shatrat> stochastic, I bet this is what youre looking for http://www.violet-rain.info/distributorlogo.html
[05:13] <pollywog> k
[05:13] <pollywog> you are really new then
[05:13] <jumburrito> yeah
[05:13] <pollywog> jumburrito: if you reboot the machine what do you see when the machine is done booting?
[05:14] <jumburrito> depends on what I have specified in the Device section of xorg.conf
[05:14] <pollywog> did you ever get a nice gui login?
[05:14] <jumburrito> if it says nv, I see my login gui
[05:14] <jumburrito> yes
[05:14] <jumburrito> and a loud sound
[05:14] <pollywog> k then you are using a session manager
[05:14] <jumburrito> okay
[05:15] <pollywog> otherwise you would just see a console and a prompt for your login
[05:15] <jumburrito> yes
[05:15] <jumburrito> I've seen that also
[05:15] <pollywog> but that is because your session manager is failing
[05:15] <pollywog> you should try the command shartrat gave
[05:15] <pollywog> to reconfigure the X server
[05:15] <stochastic> shatrat: I don't think that's what I was looking for, I'm trying to replace the icons next to Internet, Applications, etc... in the main menu
[05:16] <jumburrito> yeah I don't know what the hell I'm doing in this thing
[05:16] <shatrat> pollywog, I dont think so, I think at this point jumburrito needs to reinstall nvidia drivers now
[05:16] <shatrat> stochastic, ahh
[05:16] <pollywog> shatrat: k
[05:16] <stochastic> shatrat: see http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=359280
[05:17] <bucketfan99> heya
[05:17] <bucketfan99> how do you go from 6.1 to testing/unstable ?
[05:17] <bucketfan99> whats the 'right' way
[05:17] <shatrat> stochastic, you can change those using the menu editor, just right click
[05:17] <pollywog> you mean to Debian?
[05:18] <pollywog> bucketfan99: you want to install Debian?
[05:18] <bucketfan99> no sorry
[05:18] <bucketfan99> i want the newest stuff
[05:18] <stochastic> shatrat: I'm trying to package an icon set so that others can install it in the themes menu
[05:18] <pollywog> oh
[05:18] <bucketfan99> i guess im using the wrong term.
[05:18] <jumburrito> kernel framebuffer or no?
[05:18] <Music_Shuffle> !feisty | bucketfan99
[05:18] <ubotu> bucketfan99: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[05:18] <shatrat> bucketfan99, you dont.  I wouldnt recommend installing feisty as your main system, I would use it on a spare drive or partition.
[05:18] <pollywog> jumburrito: you are using a stock kernel right?
[05:18] <sadistico> zyth are you there?
[05:18] <bucketfan99> Ok.
[05:18] <bucketfan99> i won't
[05:18] <bucketfan99> perhaps im just confused
[05:18] <stochastic> shatrat: I need to find the location/name of the files but even the ones in the menu editor aren't right in some cases
[05:19] <elkbuntu> stochastic, try seeing if anyone is in #ubuntu-artwork, they might be able to help
[05:19] <bucketfan99> tahnks :)
[05:19] <jumburrito> afaik I think I updated it
[05:19] <stochastic> elkbuntu: thanks I'll try that
[05:19] <Balsamic_Chicken> anyone here play oblivion?
[05:19] <shatrat> stochastic, I bet theyre somewhere in /usr/share/icons
[05:19] <pollywog> jumburrito: uh oh
[05:19] <jumburrito> bad?
[05:19] <stochastic> shatrat: I've been searching in there
[05:19] <pollywog> that could be why you are having problems
[05:19] <pollywog>  you did a kernel compile?
[05:19] <shatrat> stochastic, mine are in /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24
[05:19] <minerale> I just removed my ATI card and installed my nvidia card, my current xorg.conf specifies video driver "fglrx" --> what do I change that to for the nvidia driver ( I already installed the nvidia-glx package )
[05:19] <jumburrito> i think so =(
[05:20] <shatrat> stochastic, at least the accessories one is, thats the only one I checked
[05:20] <minerale> also: do I need to do any other changes, other than the nvidia thing
[05:20] <pollywog> jumburrito: not for beginners
[05:20] <shatrat> minerale, change it to "nv" until you have the nvidia binary driver instlaled.
[05:20] <pollywog> use a stock kernel until everything works
[05:20] <jumburrito> kind of like everything that ends in nix?
[05:20] <stochastic> shatrat: yeah, I've been able to switch most of them but the Internet is proving very elusive
[05:20] <shatrat> minerale, nv is the generic open source one, 2d only but it works.
[05:20] <pollywog> I guess that should have been my first question
[05:21] <jumburrito> well I'm not sure what I did but I remember that my GRUB menu changed
[05:21] <pollywog> I assumed you were using a stock kernel
[05:21] <killermach> ardchoille:  ok. I"m 2 for 2, dvdplayer says "no disc" , looking at the burn side of the disc it seems to have burned about the right amount
[05:21] <shatrat> stochastic, mine is in /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/categories
[05:21] <jumburrito> the numbers were different when I rebooted
[05:21] <donavan_> Noob here, I need to ask about installers?  what am I looking for as far as format goes.... trying to find video driver for my card and none of the nvidia drivers I downloaded seems to work... they keep griping about needing this or that
[05:21] <jumburrito> i think they said -11 or something at the end instead of the normal
[05:21] <stirner> salut
[05:21] <pollywog> jumburrito: you can do another thing
[05:21] <stochastic> shatrat: I've changed that file but it still loads up with the old icon
[05:21] <shatrat> !nvidia|donavan
[05:21] <ubotu> donavan: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:22] <shatrat> stochastic, why dont you just change the menu so it points to the icon you want?
[05:22] <pollywog> did you do the 'make-kpkg modules_image' command?
[05:22] <jumburrito> no I don't think I did
[05:22] <stochastic> shatrat: because I'm trying to get an icon theme set that others can install
[05:22] <bucketfan99> anyone know how to add the terminal icon to the right click menu ?
[05:22] <donavan_> Shatrat:yeah its a fx 5200 ... ubotu:thanks
[05:23] <stochastic> shatrat: if it was just for myself I'd simply point the menu to the right file but I need to follow standards
[05:23] <pollywog> well when you compile your own kernel you have to get the nvidia source package and install it and then you do that command after you compile the kernel proper
[05:23] <CageX-min> i couldn't get figure a way to make the Beryl work or even install i don't even know if its comes with the ubuntu
[05:23] <Art_> The other day I ran Ubuntu update.  It busted my WiFi.  Any ideas?
[05:23] <shatrat> stochastic, I understand, not sure why you would have trouble with that one in particular.
[05:23] <pollywog> I am new to Ubuntu so I am not sure how you should install a stock kernel now
[05:23] <minerale> I'm having trouble switching from the ati to the nvidia driver. I have uninstalled the xorg-driver-fglrx package ( it shows as rc on dpkg -l  ) but I can't install nvidia-glx because it clashes with the fglrx driver ... error is something like: /usr/lib/nvidia... clashes with `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL... by xorg-driver-fglrx"
[05:23] <minerale> what's that command that completely purges a package
[05:23] <jumburrito> shatrat: how do I unscrew myself?
[05:23] <pollywog> but you should either install clean or install a stock kernel
[05:24] <jumburrito> okay
[05:24] <pollywog> or just use nv drivers
[05:24] <jumburrito> i guess clean install wouldn't be such a bad thing
[05:24] <killermach> ardchoille: ok.. this is odd.. it plays in the dvdrw that burned it with gnomebaker, hmm
[05:24] <bimberi> minerale: sudo apt-get remove --purge package
[05:24] <shatrat> jumburrito, dont use "nv"  you either need to reinstall on your 2.6.17-11 kernel or jus tkeep using th eold one.
[05:24] <pollywog> jumburrito: are you gaming?
[05:24] <root___> I'm in kind of a spluge here. Can anyone help? I turned on my computer today and it crashes me to the command line after it fails to mount the drives. I'm using ultimate liveCD now, and I can't find any problems with the HDD or memory. Anyone know what could be wrong?
[05:24] <jumburrito> one day
[05:24] <pollywog> k
[05:24] <jumburrito> when the nvidia drivers work =)
[05:25] <shatrat> jumburrito, im not sure what the easiest way to fix the repo installed drivers is, because i instal manually, but i imagine there is somebody who does.
[05:25] <pollywog> shatrat: it appears he is using a custom kernel
[05:25] <Birdman> hi, could anyone help me out with installing ATI Radeon drivers?
[05:25] <shatrat> pollywog, I doubt it, he probably just updated to 2.6.17-11 in the past couple days
[05:25] <jumburrito> i installed the nvidia drivers on the machine I'm to talk, I did it the nvidia.com way
[05:25] <jumburrito> and it came out okay
[05:25] <jumburrito> yes
[05:25] <jumburrito> thats what I did
[05:25] <cyphase> anyone know how you append text to a file on the terminal? without opening an editor
[05:25] <CageX-min> anyone could help me with beryl??
[05:25] <jumburrito> it was like doing it for this computer on Fedora Core so I thought it would be safe
[05:26] <shatrat> jumburrito, aaah, if thats what you did then just go back to command line mode and run the "sudo sh NVIDIAblahblahblah.run" and thats it
[05:26] <killermach> ardchoille: no it only plays the dvd intro.. never shows the menu
[05:26] <jumburrito> seeing as this computer is running great and I got the install done
[05:26] <shatrat> jumburrito, it will recompile the thingy and "nvidia" will work again
[05:26] <fiberchunks> cyphase, cat "some text here" >> filename
[05:26] <pollywog> oh you can do it that way you don't have to do it the official way
[05:26] <cyphase> fiberchunks: didn't work..
[05:26] <jumburrito> okay let me get out of this xorg reconfig thing and see what I can do
[05:26] <cyphase> fiberchunks: but i think i got it
[05:26] <fiberchunks> ah
[05:26] <DLB|Maximus> what extra stuff do you get on the 6.10 dvd that makes it so much bigger than the cd?
[05:26] <yoink> excuse me people, i was wondering, can I change a fat32 partition to ext* using gparted without losing the data?
[05:27] <shatrat> yoink, I dont think theres any way but to back up the data somewhere else, format, and copy it back
[05:27] <pollywog> yoink: I wish
[05:27] <shatrat> yoink, there may be automated tools to do that though, I dont knokw
[05:27] <killermach> ardchoille: n/m totem wasn't, but kaffeine is
[05:27] <ardchoille> killermach: are sure you made the iso correctly?
[05:27] <ardchoille> killermach: Ah, ok
[05:27] <pollywog> but yeah I have done it by copying
[05:27] <fiberchunks> cyphase -- sorry wrong command (typo)  echo "this is some garbage" >> foo
[05:27] <yoink> ok, thanks...i guess ill just back up on a different partition
[05:27] <Birdman> could anyone help me access the Ubuntu superior user? i'm kinda used to having a root account available
[05:28] <Birdman> is there a sudo or something?
[05:28] <jumburrito> i don't want "dri" right?
[05:28] <leon> hello
[05:28] <shatrat> Birdman, you can use "sudo -i" to log in as root in a terminal, but I unrecommend it
[05:28] <Madpilot> ubotu, sudo | Birdman
[05:28] <ubotu> Birdman: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:28] <shatrat> !sudo|birdman
[05:28] <ubotu> birdman: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:28] <pollywog> jumburrito: if you are using nvidia, you do not want dri
[05:28] <jumburrito> any other modules I should leave out?
[05:28] <shatrat> jumburrito, no, you do want "dri"
[05:28] <pollywog> only dri comes to mind
[05:28] <killermach> ardchoille: I"m burning the same ISO on another machine right now and the checksums match to both copies, the other machine has produced 4 copies in the time I'm playing with this one
[05:29] <jumburrito> do or don't?
[05:29] <Birdman> great, i'll try that
[05:29] <Birdman> thanks a ton
[05:29] <pollywog> remove "load dri"
[05:29] <yellowdart> Birdman, if you want extended root access use sudo -i
[05:29] <ardchoille> killermach: hehe
[05:29] <cyphase> fiberchunks: how about appending the output from a command to a file, all on one command line
[05:29] <shatrat> jumbers, well, I think so. Maybe im thinking of fglrx
[05:29] <fiberchunks> cyphase, one sec
[05:29] <shatrat> jumbers, not you, but Im still thinking of you. <3
[05:29] <jumbers> shatrat: It's jnumburrito, not me! :(
[05:29] <shatrat> jumburrito, nvm, dont for "nvidia"
[05:29] <cyphase> ah
[05:30] <jumburrito> lol okay
[05:30] <killermach> ardchoille: nope.. kaffiene shows menu , but when I click the menu, it says it cannot read the source
[05:30] <fiberchunks> cyphase, ex.     ls -l >> foo
[05:30] <root___> Anybody know why my ubuntu can't mount anything, even though I can do it fine manually if I use some sort of LiveCD? I can't boot from the hard drive right now.
[05:31] <cyphase> fiberchunks: i think that overwrites it
[05:31] <fiberchunks> no >> appends > overwrites
[05:32] <fiberchunks> cyphase, try this:   touch foobar; ls -l >> foobar; df >> foobar
[05:32] <jumburrito> okay I finished the X thing
[05:33] <jumburrito> now what did you want me to do?
[05:33] <cyphase> fiberchunks: thanx
[05:33] <minerale> can someone tell me if this is a bug ( and if I need to report it ) http://pastebin.ca/351450
[05:33] <fiberchunks> np
[05:33] <ardchoille> killermach: I dont think that ISO was create correctly.
[05:33] <minerale> in short: when trying to install the nvidia driver I get an error about the ati driver (which I have uninstalled)
[05:34] <Cagex> anyone could help me with beryl??
[05:34] <jumburrito> shatrat: what did you want me to do after the X server config?
[05:34] <Cagex> what 3D interface changer dose ubuntu come with orginaly?
[05:34] <mackinac> !beryl | Cagex
[05:34] <ubotu> Cagex: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:34] <shatrat> minerale, perhaps sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx?
[05:34] <shatrat> jumburrito, do you still have the nvidia driver thingy you downloaded?
[05:35] <jumburrito> what kind of thingy?
[05:35] <shatrat> jumbers, Hey look, I got his name right the first try that time. *beep*
[05:35] <fiberchunks> heh
[05:35] <jumbers> shatrat: :)
[05:35] <shatrat> jumburrito, starts with NVIDIA1.0.9746.386.run or something <like that, its longer.
[05:35] <minerale> shatrat: I tried that already
[05:35] <shatrat> jumburrito, you said you installed from nvidia.com and it was working before
[05:35] <ctford> anyone know why synaptic would want to remove ubuntu-desktop when i try and uninstall totem-mozilla?
[05:36] <cables> shatrat, jumburrito, why aren't you installing from the repos?
[05:36] <jumburrito> I have that file on this computer I never downloaded it on the non-working one
[05:36] <jumburrito> I did
[05:36] <gapagos> hey can anyone tell me how to resize / move an Ex3 in Ubuntu 6.06
[05:36] <jumburrito> it doesn't work
[05:36] <cables> ctford, that's because it's part of ubuntu-desktop
[05:36] <jeniaV3x> hi how do i set my firewall? 10x
[05:36] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop | ctford
[05:36] <ubotu> ctford: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[05:36] <shatrat> cables, repos can be a pain with binary drivers imo
[05:36] <killermach> ardchoille: well totem won't show the menu, kaffeine shows but menu won't work, portable DVD says "no disc" but home dvd player plays it fine
[05:36] <root___> ctford: I don't believe you can uninstall totem.
[05:36] <cables> shatrat, nvidia from the repos worked fine for me... does he not want to enable restricted?
[05:36] <jumburrito> i didn't know about installing from repos when I did it for fedora core so I installed manually, that's why I thought updating my kernel was a good idea on Ubuntu
[05:37] <gapagos> hey can anyone tell me how to resize / move an Ex3 in Ubuntu 6.06
[05:37] <ctford> i'm messing around with the vlc plugin, and i wanted to make sure that ogg files were played by vlc and not by totem
[05:37] <KDan> anyone know of a pastebin that lasts at least a few days?
[05:37] <shatrat> cables, I dont know, if you are more familiar with that method go ahead and walk him through it, but I dont know or care.  manual works better for me.
[05:37] <gapagos> hey can anyone tell me how to resize / move an Ex3 in Ubuntu 6.06
[05:37] <minerale> shatrat: ah I had to install it, uninstall it with purge and then it worked
[05:37] <ctford> gapagos, have you tried gparted?
[05:37] <killermach> ardchoille: talk about needing an arsenal to make a dvd ..sheesh :)
[05:37] <jumburrito> i think I started to do it manually and then downloaded glx from the repos
[05:38] <frogzoo> gapagos: gparted  - if it's the / par'tn you'll need to run it off a live cd
[05:38] <jumburrito> i didn't know the difference
[05:38] <jpatota> i am only getting about 150kbps through a samba share on a local network. how do i increase that?
[05:38] <cables> jumburrito, shatrat, I've done it from the repos before with no problem... but you can help him the way you want to, shatrat. You've already started with him.
[05:38] <FantasticFoo> ever since i installed "gsynaptics", tapping on my trackpad is impossible. the tap has to be in this extremely narrow range of duration
[05:38] <ctford> root: i don't want to uninstall totem, just it's mozilla plugin
[05:38] <mackinac> !repeat | gapagos
[05:38] <ubotu> gapagos: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[05:38] <cables> FantasticFoo, you can change that in gsynaptics
[05:38] <FantasticFoo> how do i expand the "tap duration range"
[05:38] <FantasticFoo> cables: not that i can se
[05:38] <FantasticFoo> e
[05:38] <jumburrito> how can I restart x?
[05:38] <jumburrito> what is the command?
[05:39] <jumburrito> or stop it
[05:39] <root___> ctrl alt back space
[05:39] <gapagos> thank you ctford / frogzoo
[05:39] <muuhDBX> hey do you kown what linux profs ?
[05:39] <cables> jumburrito, ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:39] <shatrat> jumburrito, /etc/init.d/gdm stop (or start, or restart)
[05:39] <muuhDBX> LOL
[05:39] <root___> ctford: OK, I'm not sure about the mozilla plugin then.
[05:39] <cables> FantasticFoo, open gsynaptics, go to tapping, adjust tapping time
[05:39] <FantasticFoo> cables: i can change the duration at which taps are recognized, but i cant change the range
[05:39] <cables> ctford, it's okay to remove ubuntu-desktop, just put it back before you upgrade to a new version of the os.
[05:40] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop | ctford
[05:40] <ubotu> ctford: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[05:40] <FantasticFoo> cables: if i move the slider all the way up, i have to hold my finger on the trackpad for a long period of time to tap. tapping quickly does not work
[05:40] <ctford> thanks cables, root
[05:40] <cables> FantasticFoo, can you tell me what exactly the problem is again?
[05:40] <jumburrito> can I PM you shatrat?
[05:40] <shatrat> jumburrito, sure, or join #shatrat
[05:41] <FantasticFoo> cables: for a "tap" to be recognized, i have to control the duration my finger is actually on the trackpad so that it is in a very teeny range
[05:41] <FantasticFoo> cables: hard to describe, sorry.
[05:42] <FantasticFoo> carbles: like, i used to be able to quickly tap the trackpad, or tap it more slowly and they would be both recognized as a tap
[05:42] <frogzoo> FantasticFoo: sys -> prefs -> mouse
[05:43] <FantasticFoo> frogzoo: what should i be looking for in sys prefs mouse?
[05:43] <gerald> how do I select a new theme to use in ubuntu
[05:43] <gerald> i used gdmsetup
[05:43] <gerald> and selected the theme I want, but it's stil the same
[05:44] <FantasticFoo> ah nevermind
[05:44] <FantasticFoo> i fixed it
[05:44] <FantasticFoo> i had the sensitivity too high
[05:45] <javi> any1 now a distro like geexbox? the geexbox site seems not to be serving the isos...
[05:45] <n2diy_> Has Dapper been patched to conform with the new Canadian and US Daylight Saving Time standards?
[05:46] <shatrat> javi, try tlm-project.org
[05:47] <Axsuul> whats the command to reload the gnome KDE
[05:47] <quinnster> How do you choose Preferred Applications beyond Web/Mail/Terminal?  Can you choose them based on filetype like with Windows?
[05:47] <DLB|Maximus> what extra stuff do you get on the 6.10 dvd that makes it so much bigger than the cd?
[05:47] <cables> Axsuul, can you explain what exactly the gnome KDE is?
[05:47] <cables> Axsuul, if you mean X, it's ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:47] <stochastic> shatrat: just to let you know I've solved my problem with the icon, looks like one of the resolution sizes hadn't been changed yet
[05:47] <frogzoo> quinnster: sys -> prefs -> preferred apps
[05:47] <yell0w> hey guys, how can i set the size of  each tab of application in the panel at a fixed width ?
[05:47] <mackinac> javi: which iso do you need?
[05:47] <yell0w> desktop panel*
[05:47] <quinnster> frogzoo: Doesn't that just provide web/mail/terminal?
[05:47] <fiberchunks> probably /etc/init.d/{kg}dm restart
[05:48] <Axsuul> cables: how about from the terminal?
[05:48] <Axsuul> cables: i mean X
[05:48] <gerald> how do I use xterm to use my  .Xdefault settings?
[05:48] <shatrat> stochastic, ah. So youre gonna upload an icon theme to gnome-look or something?
[05:48] <frogzoo> quinnster: soz - missed the 'beyond' - right click, "open with"
[05:48] <mackinac> javi: i386 english?
[05:49] <TAPUTIO> hi
[05:49] <stochastic> shatrat: I've got a little more to do to the theme before it's ready for upload
[05:49] <rbil> mackinac: javi left just after asking the question
[05:49] <shatrat> stochastic, well, good luck!
[05:49] <quinnster> frogzoo: no problem.  thanks for helping.  but how do you get it to be the 'new' application to start with?
[05:49] <stochastic> shatrat: thanks
[05:49] <quinnster> frogzoo: (so you can just double-click in the future)
[05:49] <mackinac> rbil, thnks i was just checking nicklist... :)
[05:50] <TAPUTIO> anybody knows a list of compatible or functional hardware with ubuntu, i'm gonna buy a new pc
[05:50] <n2diy_> ! hardware | TAPUTIO
[05:50] <ubotu> TAPUTIO: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:50] <TAPUTIO> thanks
[05:50] <n2diy_> Has Dapper been patched to conform with the new Canadian and US Daylight Saving Time standards?
[05:51] <frogzoo> quinnster: soz - right click -> properties -> open with
[05:51] <TAPUTIO> this windows vista bullsh. made want to use another OS
[05:51] <quinnster> frogzoo: Thanks, but doesn't that just allow you to open the app one time?  How do you set it as the default application (so you can double-click without having to 'open with' every time)?  Thanks!
[05:51] <shatrat> TAPUTIO, there is a builder called system76 that builds PCs preinstalled with ubuntu with all the hardware working.
[05:51] <frogzoo> quinnster: soz - right click -> properties -> open with
[05:52] <n2diy_> TAPUTIO: your not alone, I gave up with 95
[05:52] <quinnster> frogzoo: appears I'm an idiot! :)  Thanks for bearing with me.
[05:53] <yell0w> hey guys, how can i set the size of  each tab of application in the desktop panel at a fixed width ?
[05:53] <jpp> shatrat:  followed your advice on attempting the manual method2 install of the new nvidia drivers -- still running into the same issue -- no signal to monitor but I can hear the drums on boot
[05:54] <jpp> it looks like it's having a hard time finding a good resolution?
[05:54] <shatrat> jpp, thats odd.  Youre not getting an "out of range" or anything on monitor are you?
[05:54] <Allexandr> hye all. i've a problem, my ubuntu 6.06 did not have mksquashfs.  kindly, please advice me "sudo: mksquashfs: command not found"
[05:55] <cables> Allexandr, don't put colons in the command...
[05:55] <frogzoo> Allexandr: open synaptic - search - install
[05:55] <bucketfan99> Hey anyone here have dualhead working ?
[05:55] <gerald> bucketfan99, i tried, but failed too :(
[05:55] <bucketfan99> im wondering if your grey top & bottom bars span both monitors or just 1
[05:55] <bucketfan99> gerald i got mine to work :)
[05:55] <jpp> well, it's saying no signal, but I suspect it's the same thing -- it looks like it's settling on a resolution of 640x480 which I know my monitor doesn't support.
[05:55] <bucketfan99> just tweaking it now
[05:55] <gerald> bucketfan99, what are ycs?our spe
[05:55] <n2diy_> ! mksquashfs
[05:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mksquashfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:55] <gerald> bucketfan99, what are your monitor specs
[05:55] <mojo> does this channel block all access via tor-irc??  i tried to join after playing with torrified xchat and kept getting "you are banned" error...
[05:55] <bucketfan99> i have 2 20" lcd
[05:55] <gerald> oh
[05:55] <bucketfan99> and a nvidia dual head card
[05:56] <quaal> hey
[05:56] <bucketfan99> its bery bery nice
[05:56] <kitche> mojo: you have to use freenode's secret service to use tor
[05:56] <gerald> i have a 14" laptop and a 17" lcd on an ati card
[05:56] <quinnster> mojo: i believe its freenode...not the channel.  i believe there's a specific port to use or something for tor.
[05:56] <gerald> can't get it to work, and I don't even know if it's possible
[05:56] <quaal> anyone know why my clock isnt staying synced with the servers?
[05:56] <jpp> it keeps saying "no valid modes" until it gets to 640x480
[05:56] <bucketfan99> gerald are yout rying to get the laptop to display on both the monitor and its screen ?
[05:56] <shatrat> jpp, hmm, could you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[05:56] <jpp> then it says:  (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI
[05:56] <frogzoo> Allexandr: install squashfs-tools
[05:57] <gerald> bucketfan99, i want to extend my screen to the 2nd monitor
[05:57] <Allexandr> it's very weird. i read how to make customize ubuntu, they show mksquashfs , but when trying to execute, no command
[05:57] <bucketfan99> gerald that is totally possible
[05:57] <mojo> kitche: quinnster: i thought i was doing it correctly... connecting to freenode's onion name, etc... guess i'll have to research more.  i was able to get on a couple other chans so i thought it might be #ubuntu policy or sumthin
[05:57] <bucketfan99> i've done that but with nvidia from my laptop
[05:57] <frogzoo> Allexandr: chances are you don't need mksquashfs if you're a noob
[05:57] <gerald> ati is probably a different story :(
[05:57] <kitche> mojo: it might be think LjL banned tor
[05:57] <bucketfan99> how old is the laptop ?
[05:58] <gerald> like  ayear?
[05:58] <bucketfan99> ah that shoould be fine
[05:58] <jpp> sorry for the dumb question, but you mean go to pastebin.com and paste it there?
[05:58] <gerald> hm
[05:58] <gerald> i tried
[05:58] <bucketfan99> you try searching on google for the laptop model ?
[05:58] <frogzoo> !pastebin | jpp
[05:58] <ubotu> jpp: 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)
[05:58] <bucketfan99> + linux + dualhead
[05:58] <bucketfan99> or so
[05:58] <seravitae> Hey, i just got a new machine, core2duo, dual sata harddrives, and im burning a dvd from one of the sata drives to my ide dvd burner, and the HDD is maxing out and im only writing at 12 speed. is there something i might need to turn on?
[05:58] <shatrat> jpp, and then send me the link, and I can check your monitor settings, I think it might be a refresh rate problem
[05:58] <zachhale> so i havent done anything with iptables on my ubuntu install but i'd like to forward a port to another server, coming in on eth0, going out on eth0, any tips?
[05:58] <jpp> excellent, thanks.
[05:59] <mojo> kitche: not a big deal really, i just like to play with stuff... i have been thinking of becoming a tor server so i have been testing more services through it
[05:59] <bucketfan99> gah now i have to build gaim
[05:59] <bucketfan99> i HATE reinstalling
[05:59] <bucketfan99> takes forever
[05:59] <frogzoo> zachhale: google 'iptables DNAT'
[05:59] <quinnster> bucketfan99: make an image of a fresh install with dd?  I reinstall 15GB in 8 minutes.
[06:00] <pavs> I have installed beryl and I love but it seems that ubuntu with beryl is a quite a bit slower than ubuntu without beryl, is this a known issue? is there anyway to optimize the performance of ubuntu?
[06:00] <n2diy_> Has Dapper been patched to conform with the new Canadian and US Daylight Saving Time standards?
[06:00] <bucketfan99> quinnster its a whole new mobo and nic and stuff
[06:00] <bucketfan99> so i had to make a new one :/
[06:00] <quinnster> oh, maybe not then :)
[06:00] <bucketfan99> but now i have 2x 20" lcd
[06:00] <mojo> pavs: you would almost think that off-loading x rendering to the gpu would make it faster
[06:00] <bucketfan99> and the computer is silent
[06:00] <bucketfan99> so its worth it :)
[06:01] <mojo> pavs: but i am new to beryl too, just got it working this weekend
[06:01] <quinnster> 2x20" would make almost anything worth it :)
[06:01] <bucketfan99> they are only like 350 a pop now
[06:01] <nastjuid> I followed the guide for the nvidia beta drivers, but the screen resolution menu only shows 640x480
[06:01] <gerald> how do I load a new theme.  I installed a theme using gdmsetup
[06:01] <shatrat> bucketfan99, 350? I got mine for 200, 20.1 inch widescreen...oops offtopic
[06:01] <cables> !resolution | nastjuid

[06:01] <quinnster> bucketfan99: did you use any resource for choosing (linux) hardware when putting your system together?
[06:02] <bucketfan99> HAH i should have
[06:02] <bucketfan99> ended up with 2 new comps instead of 1.
[06:02] <pavs> my gpu is definately state of the art its just a mere ATI radeon 200m on a laptop. processor is a turion64 1.7
[06:02] <jpp> shatrat:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5369/  - it's my entire nvidia bug report -- includes the xorg.conf and a few other reports that might be helpful
[06:02] <bucketfan99> the intel mobo i got has no support in linux
[06:02] <eclips1> hello
[06:02] <mojo> someone needs to edit that ubotu response... ?dm should read gdm
[06:02] <bucketfan99> so i had to totally go and buy a new one
[06:02] <shatrat> jpp, ok, Ill look at it
[06:02] <quinnster> hehe
[06:02] <gerald> bucketfan99, did you use mergeFB?  what did you use?
[06:02] <pavs> definately not i meant :)
[06:02] <quinnster> Who'd you go with?
[06:02] <bucketfan99> something about duo core mobos not having ide controllers
[06:02] <bucketfan99> gerald  - what's this mergeFB ?
[06:02] <eclips1> im trying to use smb to share a directory with windows but when i put my user and password in connecting to linux  it says invalid pass
[06:03] <jpp> thanks!
[06:03] <bucketfan99> how i set it up on the laptop was with 2 screen configs, the device for the vga output having a diff pci ID, and then xinerama
[06:03] <bucketfan99> IIRC
[06:03] <gerald> some program or some sort for dualhead
[06:03] <eclips1> is there some default login for smb? my linux login isnt working
[06:03] <bucketfan99> gerald just xorg.conf changes..
[06:03] <zachhale> anyone know if this is right for forwarding traffic to 3000 from my only network port en1 : iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 3000 -j DNAT --to 192.42.42.51:3000
[06:04] <mojo> eclips1: i think you need to look into the smbpasswd program
[06:04] <eclips1> ok thanks
[06:04] <bucketfan99> gerald  its always possible
[06:04] <bucketfan99> dualhead these days much better than 5 years ago
[06:04] <rbil> eclips1: read this, might help you ... http://www.samba.netfirms.com/addusers.htm
[06:04] <bucketfan99> man it used to be HARD back then.
[06:04] <pavs> whats the command/program to see all theprocesses running?
[06:04] <mojo> eclips1: the user's smb password is separate from their unix password.
[06:04] <shatrat> pavs, top
[06:04] <Mister> hello
[06:04] <quinnster> Can anyone recommend a different theme for Ubuntu?  I know of the sites, but anyone got a favorite I can try out for a change?
[06:04] <gerald> bucketfan99, i'm gonna give it another go
[06:05] <Muzik83> pavs: ps -ef shows *every* single one, top shows a nice list of them sorted
[06:05] <bucketfan99> good gerald
[06:05] <bucketfan99> so
[06:05] <bucketfan99> you have to do some funny thing with lspci to get the busIDs
[06:05] <bucketfan99> i think
[06:05] <quaal> does anyone have problems with the clock staying synced with the servers ?
[06:05] <bucketfan99> then setup the devices like that.
[06:05] <pavs> tnx
[06:05] <n2diy_> quaal: yes, I have to manually sync mine with Dapper.
[06:06] <matheo> Hi n00b here needs help. Just installed Ubuntu on my Dell 600m laptop, and though I get the dual boot screen (and when I select Windows XP, it tries to boot) Windows won't boot up, even in safe mode
[06:06] <eclips1> sweet got it going
[06:06] <quaal> n2diy_, hmm
[06:06] <eclips1> thanks again
[06:06] <quaal> why do the servers not work ?
[06:06] <cyphase> how do you convert something to all uppercase on the terminal?
[06:06] <quaal> i'm in edgy
[06:06] <quaal> have to do the same thing
[06:06] <n2diy_> quaal: only takes me a minute, so it isn't a big deal.
[06:06] <quaal> n2diy_, its just annoying. i automatically think the clock is accurate, as it should be.
[06:07] <shatrat> jpp, still reading, hang in there
[06:07] <jpp> take your time, thanks!
[06:08] <n2diy_> quaal: suprisingly, I"m only off by six seconds now, so maybe it is syncing?
[06:08] <pavs> when I type top i see debian -s as a user what does that mean?
[06:08] <quaal> n2diy_, dunno. i was off by like 30min
[06:08] <quaal> in a few days
[06:08] <quaal> how does it even get off in the first place i wonder? my computer has been on the entire time
[06:08] <quaal> logged into linux
[06:08] <nastjuid> cables: thanks for the link
[06:09] <n2diy_> quaal: I had the same problem last week, maybe it was the servers?
[06:09] <usr13> Trying to unzip a gz image from /dev/hda3 to /dev/had1  Tell me if this looks right:  gzip -d < image.gz | dd of=/dev/hda1
[06:11] <BigLou> i just upgraded to edgey
[06:11] <BigLou> but when i vnc in all i get is a black screen...
[06:11] <n2diy_> quaal: I just re-synced, I was only of by 2 seconds, my watch is off by 4.
[06:11] <n2diy_> *of/off
[06:11] <quaal> hmmm
[06:11] <shatrat> jpp, ok this may work or it may not, definitely one of the two.  Put a # in front of the line that says "    Option "UseEDID" "False"" in your xorg.conf
[06:11] <cyphase> nvm, got it. tr
[06:12] <quaal> it appears that the seconds are ticking far quicker than normal seconds tick
[06:12] <quaal> the time is always advance of what it should be
[06:12] <n2diy_> Has Dapper been patched to conform with the new Canadian and US Daylight Saving Time standards?
[06:13] <bucketfan99> hey if i have a windows computer and a linux computer, and a new printer, and i want to be able to print from both, would i be better to setup print sharing on windows, or set it up in linux, then a samaba server, and share it to the windows box
[06:13] <kitche> n2diy_: just use ntpd
[06:13] <bucketfan99> hmm my feeling for some reason is PNP will be faster on the windows box
[06:13] <bucketfan99> opinions ?
[06:13] <quinnster> usr13: gunzip -c img.gz | dd of=/dev/hda1
[06:13] <jpp> That line was actually the last addition to the file -- I added it as it was one of the suggested fixes on the website you directed me to for "modeline" issues, which matches the problem I'm having (black screen, but can hear the drums)
[06:14] <jpp> I booted a few times before with that line's absence being the only difference
[06:14] <n2diy_> kitche: roger that, for some reason, which I've forgotten, ntpd didn't like running on this box. Let me try it again and see what happens.
[06:14] <kris> anyone know why i can't get any ident daemons to work, like right now, its running and i can telnet to port 113 from a totally different box, but it doesn't seem to be replying
[06:14] <kitche> n2diy_: or ntpdate but ntpd is more accurate
[06:14] <jpp> I can definitely give it another shot, but did you see anything else out of the ordinary?
[06:14] <shatrat> jpp,  ok try nvidia-xconfig --no-ignore-edid
[06:15] <jpp> just log out and run that under ctrl+F1?
[06:15] <shatrat> jpp, not really.  You might try adding some refresh rates to the monitor section and see if it will just use those.
[06:15] <shatrat> jpp, yeah
[06:15] <n2diy_> kitche: ntp isn't installed, so I've just been to lazy to set it up.
[06:15] <BigLou> this is all i see when i log in http://mocow.zapto.org:81/Screenshot.png
[06:15] <BigLou> how do i getit looking normal?
[06:16] <jpp> but theoretically, if I have the file configured with my currently working resolution and refresh rate, it should work with the nvidia driver as well?
[06:16] <mikejanssen> lolk
[06:16] <mikejanssen> gang bang squad 9
[06:16] <mikejanssen> bahhaah
[06:17] <cafuego_> Yeah, funny.
[06:17] <shatrat> jpp, it works with the same config but with "nv"?
[06:17] <BigLou> well thats a rss reader
[06:17] <jpp> yup
[06:18] <shatrat> jpp, there has got to be some reason to this.  You say you installed using the manual method right?
[06:18] <jpp> yes indeed, method 2 from the site you recommended.
[06:18] <jpp> had no issues during install.
[06:19] <pavs> is there anyway to clean out "tmp" or "unnecessary" files in ubuntu?
[06:19] <Bsew64>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY 1billy
[06:19] <jpp> (it kills me that it's giving me so much grief on this system, it took me all of five minutes to get it running on another computer, but it's been days worth of work with no results on this one)
[06:19] <quinnster> Bsew64: oops
[06:19] <shatrat> jpp, well, add "    HorizSync       28.0 - 51.0
[06:19] <shatrat>     VertRefresh     43.0 - 60.0
[06:19] <shatrat> " to your Monitor section for giggles.  Ive still got those in mine from when I had a CRT, and theyre good for at least up to 1680x1050
[06:19] <pavs> tryingto free up some space
[06:19] <Bsew64> heh lol
[06:20] <pavs> lol
[06:20] <rbil> jpp: does this command produce any results? sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[06:20] <jpp> well, I noticed it was referencing a CRT, but I'm using an LCD, is there a difference in the config?
[06:20] <cafuego_> Bsew64: ...a dns et your irc client to authenticate at login
[06:20] <DigitalNinja> What is the testing version of ubuntu
[06:20] <DigitalNinja> ??
[06:20] <zero88> Attention! Does anyone know of any password crackers in the Ubuntu respitories such as John The Ripper or Cain,Also, is there a place to view what is in the respitories????
[06:21] <zyth> uhhhhhhhhhhm
[06:21] <shatrat> jpp, well, Ive got an LCD now and my monitor section looks much like yours except it has those 2 refresh rates.
[06:21] <jpp> rbil:  "ddcprobe: command not found"
[06:21] <pavs> did anyone install the new beryl update today yet?
[06:21] <Flannel> zero88: packages.ubuntu.com
[06:21] <shatrat> zero88, or search in synaptic
[06:21] <Flannel> pavs: #ubuntu-effects for beryl questions
[06:21] <zero88> flannel thanks
[06:21] <zero88> shatrat thanks
[06:21] <arnducky> hmmm #LinuxHelp on Oslo Unet wasn't reconnected -- but even that is better than the old Xchat.  GAIM at least shows the channel as parted.  Xchat gave no indications and would even echo posts to the console/window as if they were truly going to the server and echoing back
[06:21] <pavs> ok
[06:21] <arnducky> oh sorry!
[06:21] <arnducky> wrong channel
[06:22] <quinnster> VMware failed to install a few days ago, but every time I install other programs it tries to reinstall VMware (and keeps failing).  I'd like to get VMware working, but in the mean time I'd like it to stop trying over and over.  How can I fix this?
[06:22] <Bsew64> its not the end of the world if my id gets taken :)
[06:23] <cables> quinnster, I'm having the same problem!
[06:23] <jpp> well, I'll give the ignore-edid and horizsync/vertrefresh tips a shot and see where that puts me.
[06:23] <quinnster> cables: hehe, well 'two birds with one stone' for someone out there, hopefully! :)
[06:23] <jpp> thanks again for your help -- I'll probably have to call it a night after that, but I'll drop in sometime later and let you know how it goes.
[06:23] <shatrat> jpp, ok, I hope you get it working, I have a feeling youre close.
[06:24] <cables> quinnster, I asked in #vmware, but no dice
[06:24] <jpp> I hope so!  Thanks!
[06:24] <cables> quinnster, I think it's just a problem with package management... I mean Vmware Player works fine, it's just that APT keeps wanting to reconfigure it 'cause it thinks it failed.
[06:24] <quinnster> cables: Do you get "Could not open /dev/vmmon" when starting up VMware by chance?
[06:25] <cables> quinnster, I don't remember... I don't think so.
[06:25] <quinnster> cables: Oh, so VMware actually runs for you?
[06:25] <cables> quinnster, btw, I tried installing vmware from the installer on the site, but that didn't work.
[06:25] <cables> quinnster, yes, but i get the error when i install a package
[06:25] <Bsew64> We are upgreading to a T1 at my wife and i flower shop its there an easy way to get ubunto to work with cpanel.net
[06:26] <Bsew64> sorry upgrading
[06:26] <quinnster> cables: Oh, OK.  I wish I had VMware working that much at least... hehe.  one day.
[06:27] <Jeeves_Moss> can I get some help with a LAMP system.  I've got to settle a debate about the best platform for a WEB 2.0 platform
[06:27] <cables> quinnster, have you tried parallels?
[06:27] <quinnster> cables: No, I'm not familiar with it.  What is it?
[06:27] <Ademan> in nautilus is there any way to drag a file so that you make a link to it? (in a second nautilus window)?
[06:27] <arnducky> hmmm GAIM has some other funny quirks
[06:28] <cafuego_> Jeeves_Moss: apache2.2/python/sqlite
[06:28] <Flannel> Jeeves_Moss: anything.  it doesn't matter, in the least bit.
[06:28] <cafuego_> Jeeves_Moss: That should be unstable and buzzwordy enough
[06:28] <cables> quinnster, it's a VM program that is very successful on the Mac for running Windows, and they recently came out with Windows and Mac versions. 50 bucks though. Trial worked for me, but I didn't really use it for anything...
[06:28] <shatrat> arnducky, yesterday I accidentally started 2 copies of gaim, and it logged me in and out of xfire for 3 hours.  Everyone on my list was pretty unhappy.  Thats one quirk
[06:28] <cafuego_> If you ditch python and use mono, you might even be able to claim web 3.0 status
[06:29] <Jeeves_Moss> cafuego_:  well, I was thinking a simple LAMP system is stable enough, and I know a bit of PHP, so that's what I was thinking.  what's your ideas?  Some say AJAX.
[06:29] <brombomb> How do I install a .tar.bz2 file?
[06:29] <mackinac> Ademan, middle-click drag?
[06:29] <Jeeves_Moss> cafuego_:  what's the diff with web 3.0?
[06:29] <Flannel> Jeeves_Moss: javascript is entirely clientside, and all it communicates with is *any* serverside language.
[06:29] <cafuego_> Jeeves_Moss: Pick an AJAX toolbox and knock yourself out. I happily use some ajax stuff with php/mysql
[06:29] <quinnster> cables: I'll have to check it out.  I found an article for running VMware (on Linux) and loading Windows XP from the same HD (normally you have to create virtual disks and install OS there).  I program on Windows, but enjoy Linux for everything else.
[06:29] <fiberchunks> Jeeves_Moss, there is no 3.0? :)
[06:29] <shatrat> brombomb, tar.bz2 is just a compressed archive, what's in it?  There are probably better ways of installing whatever it is
[06:29] <Flannel> Jeeves_Moss: "Web 2.0" isn't anything special, except buzzwords.
[06:29] <cafuego_> Jeeves_Moss: web 3.0 contains more vapourware
[06:29] <quinnster> cables: (btw, thanks)
[06:30] <brombomb> Last.FM plugin for XMMS media player
[06:30] <Jeeves_Moss> Flannel:  well, for me, it's going to be finding out what one to use, then learn the lang.
[06:30] <n2diy> brombomb: are you running Dapper, an using X window?
[06:30] <brombomb> I don know what Dapper is
[06:30] <Flannel> Jeeves_Moss: you could even use static html pages if you wanted.  Although that'd be rather silly.
[06:30] <quinnster> brombomb: tar -xvjf filename.tar.bz2 (will extract it)
[06:30] <cafuego_> Jeeves_Moss: php is easy and spitting out data in some format that any ajax toolbox can sue it fairly trivial.
[06:30] <n2diy> brombomb: Dapper is Ubuntu 6.06
[06:30] <brombomb> Im using Ubuntu Server 6.11 w/ ubuntu-desktop Gnome and Nautilis
[06:31] <Flannel> brombomb: you mean 6.10?
[06:31] <brombomb> no
[06:31] <brombomb> 6.11
[06:31] <cafuego_> Jeeves_Moss: mainly you should be looking at a decent ajax toolkit, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel
[06:31] <Flannel> brombomb: there is no 6.11
[06:31] <brombomb> Im 90% sure
[06:31] <mikejanssen> i wish i had more to do on the computer
[06:31] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:31] <Jeeves_Moss> Flannel:  I'm thining about making a dating site, so I was going to CSS it in PHP, then get one of the programmers @ work to make me some desktop software to interface with it.
[06:31] <n2diy> brombomb: Ah, Nautilus, right click on the file, an see if you can un-archive it.
[06:31] <mikejanssen> i need more things to load into ubuntu
[06:31] <mikejanssen> but i dont need anything else
[06:31] <brombomb> how do I find out?
[06:31] <mikejanssen> = (
[06:31] <mikejanssen> kinda boring
[06:31] <mackinac> !version
[06:31] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[06:31] <Flannel> Jeeves_Moss: This is offtopic, but I'd be happy to talk in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:31] <shatrat> mikejanssen, folding @home?
[06:32] <Jeeves_Moss> cafuego_:  any sudgestions for a M$ box on that toolkit?  I've NEVER used AJAX before, and I HATE Java.  I can't figure it out.
[06:32] <mikejanssen> hmm?
[06:32] <cafuego_> MS box?
[06:32] <brombomb> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[06:32] <brombomb> Description:    Ubuntu 6.10

[06:32] <shatrat> mikejanssen, hey, you were lookin for something to do with your computer.
[06:32] <mikejanssen> ya
[06:32] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:32] <mikejanssen> i dont do anything on here
[06:32] <brombomb> weird.... when I start my computer I get the option for 6.11 Sevrer
[06:32] <mikejanssen> gets borrring
[06:32] <Jeeves_Moss> Flannel:  can we do #jeeves insted?
[06:32] <cafuego_> neither Java nor anything MS are required
[06:33] <mikejanssen> just come on irc...dl music when something new comes out...got everything on ubuntu installed i need/use...use aim
[06:33] <mackinac> brombomb, you're probably seeing a kernel version in grub...
[06:33] <mikejanssen> nothing really else
[06:33] <mikejanssen> BORRRING
[06:33] <mikejanssen> i shoulda finished college for web design
[06:33] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:33] <shatrat> mikejanssen, games?  hours of Google Earth?
[06:33] <brombomb> isn 6.10 the kernel version?

[06:33] <cables> brombomb, nope...
[06:34] <mackinac> brombomb, no that the release version of ubuntu
[06:34] <shatrat> brombomb, 2.6.17-11 is the kernel version as of nowish in edgy
[06:34] <brombomb> ahhh
[06:34] <brombomb> how Do I find ym kernel version?
[06:34] <Schnickfitzel> ohhh
[06:34] <shatrat> brombomb, uname -r in terminal
[06:35] <mikejanssen> for some reason i have 2 kernals loaded on my comp...generic and 386...and i dont think i dl'd anything to do that...anyway to get rid of the unused one?
[06:35] <brombomb> ahhhh
[06:35] <brombomb> 2.6.17-11-server
[06:35] <shatrat> brombomb, this might help you understand installing software a bit better, http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[06:36] <brombomb> sweet thansk
[06:36] <Schnickfitzel> how to secure erase some ext3 partition out of windows?
[06:36] <_3uG_> what is the best way to backup /home in a way that's scriptable? more specifically, does tar follow symlinks? i don't want to backup the places that are symlinked.. just the actual links.
[06:36] <Flannel> !backup | _3uG_
[06:36] <ubotu> _3uG_: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[06:36] <quinnster> Schnickfitzel: I don't believe you can read/write to ext3 from Windows.
[06:37] <Schnickfitzel> you can, quinnster
[06:37] <_3uG_> Flannel, ah, thanks
[06:37] <ahave> how would i go about enabling sounds for my applications in ubuntu?
[06:37] <quinnster> Schnickfitzel: Could you give me any pointers?  I'd be interested.
[06:37] <ahave> OS based sounds seem to work.. boot up, etc. but nothing else comes up
[06:37] <shatrat> quinnster, fs-driver.org
[06:37] <Schnickfitzel> quinnster, http://www.fs-driver.org/ :)
[06:37] <_3uG_> quinnster, there is a plugin filesystem thing available that will let you read/write to
[06:37] <_3uG_> everyone beat me to it!
[06:38] <shatrat> people with underscores in their name are inherently slow
[06:38] <n2diy> ahave: look in system-prefs.-sound
[06:38] <quinnster> Schnickfitzel: Thanks!  Appreciate it.  (If you can read/write, try Eraser (heidi.ie/eraser or something like that))?
[06:38] <gapagos> i need help i try to resize an Ext3 partition in ubuntu from the partiton tool but it fails evertime because it says the device is busy
[06:38] <_3uG_> nah, just too wordy =-)
[06:38] <gapagos> (i use the tool from the Live CD)
[06:38] <shatrat> gapagos, you cant edit partitions that are mounted
[06:39] <shatrat> gapagos, ahh, well im not quite sure in that case.
[06:39] <gapagos> then how do i unmount the root partition
[06:39] <_3uG_> do sudo umount /dev/<partition>
[06:39] <ctford> gapagos: you should be able to right click on the partition in gparted
[06:39] <_3uG_> oh yeah, that works too
[06:39] <gapagos> probably the live CD mounts automaticly
[06:39] <Sisodiya> nics
[06:39] <ctford> and it will give you the option to unmount

[06:44] <nastjuid> I just did a kernel update, then rebooted and I get the message FATAL: error running install command for nvidia, so i uninstalled then reinstalled the nvidia-glx package, but it's still doing it. I also tried booting the old kernel with no luck

[06:45] <brombomb> Where is my trash bin?  I keep moving stuff there but don know where ti is
[06:45] <Ademan> Sisodiya: hrm, so this error happens when you're trying to install software? you're using synaptic right?

[06:47] <kossmann99> oh cool it's chat room (sorry new to linux)
[06:47] <kitche> jeniaV3x: all the ports aren't closed by default just that there is nothing listening on them
[06:47] <brombomb> n2diy: Not there....
[06:47] <mehr> help
[06:47] <Ademan> Sisodiya: what program are you using to install software?
[06:47] <jeniaV3x> so how do i set this stuff sorry i m a nwb with linux
[06:48] <n2diy> brombomb: I'm not sure what you are looking for then? Are you running Dapper? That is where my system sound settings are.
[06:48] <Sisodiya> add/remove application........
[06:48] <kossmann99> is it possible to read a ntfs drive on ubuntu?
[06:48] <Zamber> Sisodiya use aptitude for gnome or adept for kde
[06:48] <mikejanssen> yes koss
[06:48] <kitche> jeniaV3x: you need to do there is a slash before dcc get [nick]  [file] 
[06:48] <Zamber> !ntfs | kossmann99
[06:48] <ubotu> kossmann99: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:48] <Sisodiya> even i m unable to install vls player
[06:48] <mikejanssen> hmm
[06:48] <kossmann99> thank you
[06:48] <mikejanssen> my windows partitions were automatically mounted when i installed ubuntu
[06:48] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:48] <Ademan> Sisodiya: can you get me the exact error?
[06:48] <mikejanssen> i can read my files and stuff no problem
[06:49] <jeniaV3x> i dont help
[06:49] <brombomb> n2diy:I didn have a "normal" install.... so yes Im Gnome/Nautilis
[06:49] <RancidLM> hey all.. kinda off topic but is there a way to create a symbolic link in a nfs exported drive and have them work when mounted?
[06:49] <kossmann99> I wish :( it's 400 gigs worth of stuff
[06:49] <brombomb> but It wasn the cleanest of installs
[06:49] <kitche> huh aptitude has nothing to do with gnome
[06:49] <Sisodiya> wait a min
[06:49] <dserban> bbiab
[06:49] <n2diy> brombomb: What version of Ubuntu? Dapper, 6.06, or Edgy, 6.10?
[06:49] <kitche> jeniaV3x: might help you http://www.new2chat.com/ircmds.html
[06:50] <brombomb> Edgy
[06:50] <kossmann99> I downloaded the newest one
[06:50] <jeniaV3x> 10x
[06:50] <Zamber> RancidLM man ln and man mount
[06:50] <dimeotane> anyone know how to use truecrypt?
[06:50] <cables> brombomb, you're looking for the trash?
[06:50] <brombomb> n2diy: I had to recreate my menu bar from scratch
[06:50] <dimeotane> I made a volume but i can only mount and use it through sudo....
[06:51] <brombomb> I just found it and added it to my menu bar
[06:51] <cables> brombomb, it's in ~/.trash and you can add it to the taskbar by rightclicking>add to panel
[06:51] <ahave> if i have an old printer that i want to use, where is a good place to find linux drivers for it?
[06:51] <cables> brombomb, ok
[06:51] <Sisodiya> thanks a lot Admen..............
[06:51] <dimeotane> I want to be able to copy files to it as a user
[06:51] <Sisodiya> problem has been solved automatically
[06:51] <n2diy> brombomb: Hmm, what else have you done, that you aren't teling us about? And you didn't answer my question: What version of Ubuntu? Dapper, 6.06, or Edgy, 6.10?
[06:51] <Sisodiya> hey Admen
[06:52] <Ademan> no problem Sisodiya, didn't think i did much though :-)
[06:52] <n2diy> *teling/telling
[06:52] <Ademan> yeah?
[06:52] <brombomb> n2diy: I did.... It was edgy
[06:52] <Sisodiya> can u solve 1 more problem
[06:52] <brombomb> n2diy: I had to install off of Ubuntu Server
[06:52] <brombomb> becuase of my graphics card
[06:52] <brombomb> and then I had to update into ubuntu
[06:52] <brombomb> and my computer has a terrible habit of overheating
[06:52] <Ademan> Sisodiya: i can sure try :-)
[06:53] <n2diy> brombomb: ok, it might be different in Edgy, I'm running Dapper. And Fine business on the server, I'm not familiar with Edgy or it's server, gle.
[06:53] <brombomb> My normal running temp is 65*C
[06:54] <dbrxkiu6> hello all, i just booted from cd and installed ubuntu and i was really supprised how nice and smooth everything went until.....I had to connect my wireless network card to my router. Btw i'm installing this on a laptop. Also, i was a bit disapointed not to see a GUI for the wireless, and ablity to search and find networks, maybe I just missed that?...Will anyone help me to setup this network card?
[06:54] <Sisodiya> I m unable to access my XP partition through UBUNTU...my  XP partition r ntfs
[06:54] <Ademan> !ntfs | Sisodiya
[06:54] <ubotu> Sisodiya: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:54] <d0uglas> I installed kde, and when i go in with gnome, i get wireless fine, but when i go in with kde, no wifi, unless i start a new login session on top of the original kde session to fire up gnome then control alt f7 back to the kde session in order to get on the internet.. any simple (inet.d?) solution to this? to get wifi fired up before x logins?
[06:54] <glyph> Is there a way to configure events to happen pre-sleep/hibernate in edgy?  ndiswrapper seems to have some issues with power management and I'd like to remove the driver automatically before doing either of those things.
[06:54] <Ademan> Sisodiya: what ubotu said should help hopefully
[06:55] <brombomb> One last thing.... My keyboard will add "accents" to letters when I try to use the ' or the " key... like this...    I have to hit the spacebar after using the " key.  Does anyone know what setting this is?  Ie looked and can find it anywhere
[06:55] <Sisodiya> how can i install KDE desktop...please tell me
[06:56] <brombomb> Sisodiya: I think you need to use sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:56] <cables> Sisodiya, "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-dekstop"
[06:57] <paul929> does anyone know how I can restart avapi? I can't connect rhythmbox to my ssh server anymore.
[06:57] <glyph> Can someone at point me at terms I might search for to find information on what exactly is *happening* when I suspend an ubuntu machine via gnome-power-manager?  I'm almost to the point where I'm reading the source code, because the obvious google terms don't seem to be helping
[06:57] <Sisodiya> I m new to UBUNTU.so please explain me
[06:57] <brombomb> Sisodiya you need to start a Terminal shell
[06:58] <aimn> great, its the newbie happy hour :)
[06:58] <cables> Sisodiya, Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[06:58] <spectre> Hi! I have a problem with freetalk on Dapper
[06:58] <brombomb> Sisodiya: Goto Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal
[06:58] <cables> Sisodiya, then put this in: "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[06:58] <ahave> if i have an old printer that i want to use, where is a good place to find linux drivers for it?
[06:58] <cables> Sisodiya, then when you log on, go to Sessions, choose KDE, and log in.
[06:58] <glyph> ahave: How old?  Parallel port old?
[06:59] <n2diy> glyph: take a look at the files in /var/log
[06:59] <spectre> I did sudo aptitude install freetalk, and then tried connecting to google. And it didnt work.
[06:59] <glyph> n2diy: Any logfile in particular you'd like me to look at?
[06:59] <ahave> glyph, parallel. made for windows 95
[06:59] <Sisodiya> terminal is unable to lock the administration directpry (/var/lib/dpkg/),
[06:59] <Sisodiya>  terminal is unable to lock the administration directpry (/var/lib/dpkg/),
[06:59] <Sisodiya>  terminal is unable to lock the administration directpry (/var/lib/dpkg/),
[06:59] <cables> ahave, you're sure the drivers aren't installed?
[06:59] <spectre> spectre: any pointers on how to make it work?
[06:59] <AzMoo> Sisodiya, stop repeating yourself.
[06:59] <n2diy> glyph: If I knew, I would have told you, gl.
[07:00] <ctford> has anyone else had problems getting the vlc mozilla plugin to work?
[07:00] <Sisodiya> plewase tell me how can i install KDE
[07:00] <glyph> ahave:  Aah.  The drivers are probably already installed somewhere, but getting it to work will be an adventure :)
[07:00] <ahave> ..actually. idk
[07:00] <dbrxkiu6> is there a tool with a GUI similiar to the iwconfig command within Ubuntu?
[07:00] <Sisodiya>  please tell me how can i install KDE
[07:00] <cables> Sisodiya, you need to close Add/Remove, Update Manager, Synaptic, anything else that installs stuff
[07:00] <ahave> glyph, heh. joy?
[07:00] <Zamber> Sisodiya sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:00] <glyph> n2diy: I've already been through syslog and dmesg and all the usual places.  The kernel drops some hints but there's nothing from any userspace tool (I assume it is a shell script)
[07:00] <cables> Sisodiya, I did, be nice.
[07:00] <ahave> glyph, where do i start?
[07:00] <glyph> ahave: System -> Administration -> Printing
[07:00] <cables> Sisodiya, close Synaptic, Update Manager, Add/Remove
[07:00] <glyph> ahave: *probably* if you answer all the obvious questions correctly, it will work.
[07:00] <mikejanssen> = (, i wish there was a canon mp150 driver
[07:00] <mikejanssen> = \
[07:00] <cables> Sisodiya, then run command: "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[07:01] <glyph> ahave: but man, a parallel port?  I don't even think I own a computer with a parallel port any more ;)
[07:01] <n2diy> glyph: my guess would be it is in /var/log/message
[07:01] <glyph> USB printers cost something like -$50
[07:01] <ahave> glyph, yes. old school, right?
[07:01] <glyph> n2diy: Yeah, I got nothing.  It tells me it's hibernating, but I already knew that; it doesn't tell me how.
[07:01] <cables> Sysodiya, then when you log into the computer, go to sessions then go to kde
[07:01] <ahave> glyph, its just that it is a nice laser printer
[07:02] <cables> Sisodiya, I misspelled your nick in my above messages
[07:02] <n2diy> glyph: ok, so what is the issue, you can't come out of hibernation?
[07:02] <newest007> hey there i just installed the kubuntu desktop package on ubuntu gnome, i have to say, kde looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than gnome, gnome looks so dull!
[07:03] <ahave> glyph, got time for another question? this one sound related?
[07:03] <ahave> glyph, i also have a keyboard related one. also :)
[07:03] <kossmann99> what's vfat? that the format? so for me it would be ntfs?
[07:03] <glyph> n2diy: No, there is a race condition inside ndiswrapper that causes registers on my wireless card to be reinitialized improperly, which results in other devices being randomly powered off when I try to use it after suspend
[07:03] <dbrxkiu6> is ther anyone else here that have problems getting their wireless to work in Ubuntu? It finds my card, but it doesnt work even though I have used iwconfig to configure it with.
[07:03] <gerald> How do I use the themes I installed in gdmsetup?
[07:03] <cables> gerald, select one in gdmsetup...
[07:03] <glyph> n2diy: I just want to remove the ndiswrapper driver before hibernation, and re-enable it afterwards.  If I do that manually it's fine, but having to type commands before every time I close my notebook is a pain.
[07:04] <paul929> " Unable to start mDNS browsing: MDNS service is not running"  This is the error message I get when I try to start Rhythmbox (the library is a ssh server).
[07:04] <glyph> n2diy: Thanks for trying though.  Guess it's time for me to dive into gpm-dbus-system-monitor.c and work outwards from there.
[07:04] <n2diy> glyph: OOkkkaaayy!!! That is way over my head, good luck.
[07:04] <glyph> ahave: I can't promise anything
[07:04] <gerald> i did
[07:04] <cables> Sisodiya, you still here?
[07:04] <gerald> but it still gives me that same brown theme
[07:04] <glyph> n2diy: well, it sounds complicated but all I want to do is "run this command when I close my laptop lid please" :)
[07:04] <cables> gerald, you checked it off?
[07:04] <kossmann99> is vfat for fat32 partition? what is it for nfts? just ntfs?
[07:04] <gerald> yea
[07:04] <ahave> glyph, ok. thanks.
[07:05] <Muzik83> glyph: did you hilight it, or did you put a black dot in the checkbox on the left....
[07:05] <cables> Muzik83, was that to gerald?
[07:05] <glyph> Muzik83: What?
[07:05] <Muzik83> er yes it was
[07:05] <Muzik83> wrong nick
[07:05] <ahave> glyph, sound: sound works for system pref and ubuntu logins.. but programs such ashxchat will not output sound
[07:05] <ahave> glyph, any ideas?
[07:05] <n2diy> glyph: Roger that, well the trick is to figure out what your laptop does when you close the lid, then maybe a script file could act on it.
[07:05] <cables> gerald, did you put a black dot in the checkbox?
[07:05] <Sisodiya> ya
[07:05] <Sisodiya> i m here
[07:05] <glyph> ahave: Run them in a terminal and see if they emit any messages on the console describing their problems with sound
[07:05] <Muzik83> screen scrolled too fast ^^
[07:05] <cables> Sisodiya, did the command work this time?
[07:06] <gerald> cables, yes
[07:06] <paul929> kossmann99-vfat is fat32. That's different than ntfs.
[07:06] <gerald> but it's for themed greeters
[07:06] <ahave> hmm, ok will try
[07:06] <cables> gerald, isn't that what you're trying to set up?
[07:06] <Sisodiya> i m insatlling VLC player.i will install kde after that
[07:06] <cables> Sisodiya, ok
[07:06] <EchoBinary> Greetings :)
[07:07] <gerald> yes
[07:07] <EchoBinary> anyone in here have experience with VMware? im pondering a lite xubuntu box with vmware server - wondering what to expect
[07:07] <Sisodiya> CABLES: how can i access window XP partition through UBUNTU
[07:07] <nastjuid> anyone experienced the error FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia   after updating a kernel?
[07:07] <Sisodiya> CABLES: how can i access window XP partition through UBUNTU
[07:07] <cables> !patience | Sisodiya
[07:07] <ubotu> Sisodiya: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:08] <EchoBinary> LOL
[07:08] <cables> !ntfs | Sisodiya
[07:08] <ubotu> Sisodiya: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:08] <n2diy> ! repeat | Sisodiya
[07:08] <ubotu> Sisodiya: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:08] <kossmann99> I tried to mount the ntfs drive I get and error:
[07:08] <kossmann99> bash: /dev/hdb1: Permission denied
[07:08] <Sisodiya> ya
[07:08] <kossmann99> what do I do?
[07:08] <EchoBinary> now go say 5 hail mary's and format your ntfs to ext3
[07:08] <EchoBinary> j/k :-D
[07:09] <kossmann99> don't want to lose my stuff :(
[07:09] <nastjuid> either use ntfs kernel support or look into captive-ntfs
[07:09] <Psi-Jack> Hey, does Ubuntu have libstdc++.so.5 compatability packages?
[07:09] <kossmann99> I will once I get another one I will format it
[07:09] <arjun> Well, repeating, just in case. Anyone here has tried freetalk on Dapper?
[07:10] <arjun> I would love a pointer on that.
[07:10] <kossmann99> captive-ntfs?
[07:10] <nastjuid> anyone run the nvidia-glx beta drivers
[07:10] <nastjuid> kossmann99: yes, it uses native ntfs libraries from a windows install to read/write to the partition or drive
[07:11] <ahave> glyph, and for the keyboard, i think it is not mapped correctly?
[07:11] <Muzik83> EchoBinary:  i have some experience with vmware on ubuntu 6.06, works well for me
[07:11] <EchoBinary> koss - i was running the nvidia glx drivers till about 1-1.5 month ago
[07:11] <kossmann99> man I'm such a newb in linux XO
[07:11] <dbrxkiu6> Are there issues with Ubuntu and Wireless connectivity in general?
[07:11] <EchoBinary> then i ran a kernel update, and kapoof! no more glx
[07:11] <ahave> glyph, i can not type the tilda key
[07:11] <cables> EchoBinary, make sure your linux-restricted-modules are the same version as your linux-image
[07:11] <EchoBinary> Muzik83: can you make the processes run full screen?
[07:12] <EchoBinary> cables: thanks, il lgive that a try
[07:12] <Muzik83> EchoBinary: yes, works quite well, what are you trying to do exactly?
[07:12] <n2diy> dbrxkiu6: yes, the wireless card manufactures won't release their driver specs to us.
[07:12] <Schnickfitzel> is it allowed to trade pics here??
[07:12] <Muzik83> EchoBinary: as a day to day desktop (it was running windows XP), it doesnt work all that well -- I found it too slow on an AMD64 2800 with a gig of ram
[07:13] <dbrxkiu6> ok, thanks then I wont bother spending hours fixing my wireless... :D
[07:13] <nastjuid> cables: i'm a bit new to ubuntu, how do I go about checking versions between linux-restricted modules and my linux-image?
[07:13] <elkbuntu> Schnickfitzel, what do you mean?
[07:14] <Schnickfitzel> screenshots of my desk, elkbuntu
[07:14] <EchoBinary> Muzik83: hmm - how about a fileserver, a web server and a database server?   Semperon x64 with 1 gig of ram
[07:14] <Muzik83> nastjuid: try the following two commands: dpkg -l | grep linux-restricted AND dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[07:14] <n2diy> ! pastebin | Schnickfitzel
[07:14] <ubotu> Schnickfitzel: 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)
[07:14] <aimn> Any perl gurus in here?
[07:14] <cables> nastjuid, do "uname -r" to figure out your kernel version, and tell me what it says
[07:14] <Schnickfitzel> ? n2diy
[07:14] <cables> aimn, #perl maybe?
[07:14] <elkbuntu> Schnickfitzel, is it support related? if it's just casual chatter stuff, -offtopic is where we talk about non-support things
[07:15] <n2diy> Schnickfitzel: I assume  it will link to snapshots too?
[07:15] <clearzen> I just downloaded the source to roll a kernel but I can't get make menuconfig to work with amd64. Does anyone know why?
[07:15] <nastjuid> right, ok.. so that's the current kernel and the modules that were built against the current kernel
[07:15] <Muzik83> EchoBinary: You would have to try, but i think the problem I was having was with the graphics between the operating systems... for database and backend work I dont see why it would be problematic (but again, just try)
[07:15] <aimn> cables, i know of it. but you ought to drop in there just to see how inapt its for a n00b. they skin you alive.
[07:15] <Schnickfitzel> no, elkbuntu
[07:15] <Muzik83> EchoBinary: I would also recommend not updating your kernel ("Locking" the kernel version in synaptic) because after a kernel update you need to recompile some VMWare stuff to get it running
[07:15] <n2diy> ! elkbuntu
[07:15] <ubotu> elkbuntu is cute
[07:15] <elkbuntu> n2diy, hmm?
[07:15] <n2diy> ! cute
[07:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cute - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:16] <elkbuntu> !botabuse | n2diy
[07:16] <ubotu> n2diy: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[07:16] <nastjuid> Muzik83: so I just updated to 2.6.17.11, and my linux-restricted modules are 2.6.17.10 , what do I need to do to update those modules to 2.6.17.11 ?
[07:17] <cables> nastjuid, is it generic?
[07:17] <nastjuid> cables: yes
[07:17] <cables> nastjuid, if generic, try "sudo aptitude install linux-generic" first
[07:17] <norty> how do i remove a directory?
[07:17] <n2diy> elkbuntu: I thought you where a version of Ubuntu I never heard of, god forbid I ever abuse the bot. :)
[07:17] <cables> nastjuid, then check versions.
[07:17] <Muzik83> norty: rmdir FolderName if the folder is empty, then rmdir -ri if it has things in it
[07:17] <nastjuid> the packages look like they're going to do it
[07:17] <elkbuntu> n2diy, heh, no im not a version of ubuntu
[07:17] <norty> ok
[07:17] <cables> nastjuid, good
[07:17] <atlanta800> I followed the guide on how to get lm-sensors to work, however when I run "sensors -s" I get the following error: Can't access procfs/sysfs file Unable to find i2c bus information;
[07:18] <radar1976> hello
[07:18] <n2diy> elkbuntu: Ok. :)
[07:18] <norty> muzik83 -ri said was an invalid option
[07:18] <radar1976> anyone have any luck getting flash working on PPC
[07:18] <cables> nastjuid, success yet?
[07:18] <nastjuid> I'm working on moving away from gentoo, so far I'm diggin' ubuntu
[07:19] <nastjuid> cables: just try reloading nvidia module?
[07:19] <Schnickfitzel> where can i find the internet explorer in ubuntu?
[07:19] <EchoBinary> .. ?@!
[07:19] <cables> nastjuid, try restarting comp now...
[07:19] <Shadow_mil> Good night
[07:19] <elkbuntu> Schnickfitzel, it's called firefox
[07:19] <cables> Schnickfitzel, are you joking?
[07:19] <AzMoo> Anybody know why the + and - keys on my keypad don't work when I've got numlock turned on?
[07:19] <cables> Schnickfitzel, use firefox
[07:19] <Schnickfitzel> oh, lol, thanks elkbuntu
[07:20] <mneptok> Schnickfitzel: it's in the Troll menu under the "Poor Attempts" subsection.
[07:20] <Schnickfitzel> but i like internet explorer more, can i have that too?
[07:20] <n2diy> Schnickfitzel: apps-internet-*browser
[07:20] <elkbuntu> !ies4linux
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ies4linux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <norty> how do I delete a directory that is on a usb external drive that is non empty?
[07:20] <cowbud> elkbuntu: terrible to be suggesting that trash btw
[07:20] <EchoBinary> lolol
[07:20] <cables> Schnickfitzel, seriously... stop trolling.
[07:20] <Muzik83> norty, was that in a command prompt that you typed it?
[07:21] <norty> in a terminal
[07:21] <Schnickfitzel> whats trolling cables?
[07:21] <elkbuntu> cowbud, well, he asked if he *could*, i was hoping there was a factoid saying 'if you're really that silly'
[07:21] <norty> it said invalid option -r
[07:21] <cowbud> elkbuntu: yah
[07:21] <cables> nastjuid, back yet?
[07:21] <nastjuid> cables: I get API mismatch when trying to load nvidia
[07:21] <cables> nastjuid, hmm...
[07:21] <EchoBinary> i suppose one COULD try it with Wine...
[07:21] <EchoBinary> (IE - that is)
[07:21] <elkbuntu> EchoBinary, ies4linux does that
[07:21] <cables> nastjuid, can't help you there, not sure how to do this...
[07:22] <Muzik83> rm -r should remove stuff recursively ... not sure why that didnt work... what is the output of the command which rm
[07:22] <Muzik83> ?
[07:22] <nastjuid> there are two parts to nvidia drivers, the kernel and glx
[07:22] <norty> you said rm -ri
[07:22] <nastjuid> they dont' match :P
[07:22] <nastjuid> I can probably get it from here
[07:22] <nastjuid> thanks a ton
[07:22] <Schnickfitzel> is IE 7.0 also possible with ubuntu?
[07:22] <aimn> Schnickfitzel, well, you can have it- but i am guessing it'll be pretty hard for you to do that- unless ie6/7 runs under wine
[07:22] <EchoBinary> elkbuntu: oh! haahaa okie  - i haddnt even considered that it was a real thing
[07:22] <Muzik83> norty: yes, rm is remove, -r is recursive (so erase stuff inside folders), and i is interactive (prompt for each file to be erased)
[07:22] <elkbuntu> EchoBinary, it's essential for web designers, and only developed for that purpose
[07:23] <norty> norty@norty:~$ sudo rmdir -r '/media/Sansa e260/MUSIC/Music'
[07:23] <norty> rmdir: invalid option -- r
[07:23] <norty> Try `rmdir --help' for more information.
[07:23] <elkbuntu> Schnickfitzel, i havent checked the website recently, but i think it might be
[07:23] <n2diy> nastjuid: be careful with that, if you run it from /, your drive is history.
[07:23] <Muzik83> no, just rm, not rmdir
[07:23] <aimn> Schnickfitzel, seriously, its just a browser. you can get used to it- so don't worry- there's firefox, epiphany and even opera to try out. you might even like it even more
[07:23] <valehru> Schnickfitzel, I'm pretty sure IE 6 runs under wine
[07:23] <norty> o
[07:23] <valehru> Schnickfitzel, although why you would want it is beyond me
[07:23] <aimn> valehru, cause he likes it :P
[07:23] <Schnickfitzel> i always jused IE when i was in windows, and it always worked fine
[07:24] <Schnickfitzel> but if firefox also works fine, ill give it a try maybe
[07:24] <cables> Schnickfitzel, Firefox will always work fine under Ubuntu, IE not so much
[07:24] <Mister> flock seems like a good browser!
[07:24] <aimn> but IE6 performs poorly on ubuntu.
[07:24] <Muzik83> haha ie is sometimes sketchy under windows!
[07:24] <cables> Muzik83, so true  :)
[07:24] <glyph> n2diy: In case you were wondering, what happens ends up being kind of random.  You can have a look at /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate if you're curious.
[07:24] <EchoBinary> Schnickfitzel: try lynx? :-D
[07:24] <cables> Muzik83, IE still scales stuff badly on Windows and i can't figure out why!
[07:24] <chris_> Hello Ubuntu!
[07:24] <Schnickfitzel> whats that, EchoBinary?
[07:25] <valehru> LYNX Rocks...
[07:25] <cables> Schnickfitzel, he's kidding... it's a text browser.
[07:25] <norty> it says permission denied
[07:25] <therapy> EchoBinary:  lol
[07:25] <Schnickfitzel> lol
[07:25] <paul928> Schnickfitzel,-IE 6 will run with WINE, but it more appropriate to use an open source browser such as Firefox.
[07:25] <Muzik83> EchoBinary: rofl
[07:25] <greywolf7> im trying to fine gforce 6150 drivers that will work in ubumtu. any advice?
[07:25] <n2diy> glyph: no I can't there isn't a link.
[07:25] <cables> !nvidia | greywolf7, follow this guide
[07:25] <ubotu> greywolf7, follow this guide: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[07:25] <ubotu> glyph: 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)
[07:25] <greywolf7> thanks
[07:26] <norty> Muzik83, it said permission denied
[07:26] <Muzik83> norty: if you are sure you want to erase them, and you are sure you have the path right, then stick a sudo in front of it
[07:26] <Schnickfitzel> is there a phising filter plugin for firefox?
[07:26] <norty> i did sudo
[07:26] <gapagos> i need help it's the 3rd time I come here and I can't resize unmounted Ext3 partions with gparted while booting from the Ubuntu LiveCD
[07:26] <Muzik83> norty: unless its an ntfs partition
[07:26] <norty> still said permission denied
[07:26] <cables> Schnickfitzel, it's built in, I think...
[07:26] <norty> what if it is
[07:27] <paul928> Anyone want to help me with a avapi problem? It won't start.
[07:27] <gapagos> when it's done resizing, it refreshes and the partition is the EXACT SAME SIZE
[07:27] <elkbuntu> Schnickfitzel, mozilla.org has lots of plugins for firefox
[07:27] <gapagos> can anyone help I'm really running out of ideas I've been trying for a long while now
[07:27] <cables> Schnickfitzel, Firefox is much better on both Windows and Linux... you definitely should use it over IE. Go to addons.mozilla.org for easy-to-install addons.
[07:27] <Muzik83> norty, do you know what partition type it is?
[07:27] <norty> i think ntfs
[07:28] <Schnickfitzel> why should windows come with IE if firefox is better?
[07:28] <Schnickfitzel> lol
[07:28] <billybob> actually FF is borked in both windows and linux right now, atleast a little
[07:28] <gapagos> i need help I can't resize unmounted Ext3 partions with gparted while booting from the Ubuntu LiveCD
[07:28] <elkbuntu> Schnickfitzel, because IE is required by lots of windows programs
[07:28] <Muzik83> ok, you would need to install ntfs support for linux in order to erase stuff on an ntfs drive.... my experience hasn't been good with ntfs support, but lots of people do have it working
[07:28] <mon^rch> how do I run vmware-install.pl ???
[07:28] <cables> Schnickfitzel, I'm curious... you know how to install Ubuntu linux, but you don't know much about browsers...
[07:28] <billybob> FF in windows has a memory leak, and after being iopen for a long period, will consume 100% CPU
[07:28] <gapagos> the size does NOT change after it's been resized, wtf
[07:28] <chris_> maybe one of you experts can help with a small problem, I have a ubuntu server/gateway an I've noticed all my machines that connect thru this particular gateway experience slow downloads, 900-1200Kb/s average, but if I test speed on a machine that is bypassed this gateway speeds are 2800-2900Kb/s anyone have any idea what could be slowing things down thru the gateway?
[07:28] <cables> mon^rch, "perl vmware-install.pl"
[07:28] <Schnickfitzel> it was easy to install with that install cd, cables :)
[07:28] <norty> muzik83, i think its ntfs
[07:29] <ctford> gapagos: with gparted, you have to "Apply" changes once you have finished marking what you want to do. does that help?
[07:29] <Schnickfitzel> i didnt need explorer
[07:29] <billybob> FF in Linux has an ipv6 issue (which can be fixed)
[07:29] <mon^rch> ty
[07:29] <gapagos> ctford: no that does not help. I obviously clicked apply
[07:29] <oclet> http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/msg/277125424.html
[07:29] <EchoBinary> Schnickfitzel: perhaps because windows is not better than ubuntu :-D
[07:29] <Muzik83> mon^rch: sudo perl vmware-install.pl
[07:29] <Muzik83> !ntfs
[07:29] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:29] <Muzik83> ah
[07:29] <elkbuntu> EchoBinary, lets not start that debate please
[07:29] <Muzik83> !ntfs-3g
[07:29] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[07:29] <ctford> gapagos: sorry if that was obvious. just checking everything :)
[07:29] <gapagos> it takes about 20 mins for the partition to resize until it refreshes and showed no change
[07:29] <EchoBinary> alrighty :)
[07:30] <gapagos> so every attempt is a waste of 20 minutes + the time to boot from CD
[07:30] <n2diy> billybob: Firefox doesn't leak in Ubuntu, so I think the leak is in Winders.
[07:30] <norty> i got it working muzik83
[07:30] <billybob> n2diy: thats what i said, atleast thats what i meant leak in windows
[07:30] <Muzik83> norty what did you do?
[07:31] <norty> changed the permission settings
[07:31] <gapagos> can anyone tell me why my partitions don't change size after gparted supposedly resized them?????
[07:31] <n2diy> billybob: roger that.
[07:31] <EchoBinary> ..  i actually kinda like Vista, works great for my Tablet...     say - anyone know of any inking programs for Ubuntu?
[07:31] <gapagos> (and yes they were unmounted and yes I did run it with sudo)
[07:31] <Muzik83> ahh ... i should have thought of that ... good work :)
[07:31] <Tomcat_> gapagos: Did you reboot?
[07:31] <cables> EchoBinary, inking?
[07:31] <EchoBinary> inking - writing with the tablet pen on the screen
[07:31] <cables> EchoBinary, you mean desktop publishing? Vector drawing?
[07:31] <gapagos> Tomcat yes I did because the LiveCD does not include XIRC
[07:31] <cables> EchoBinary,no idea
[07:31] <Tomcat_> gapagos: Weird. :\
[07:32] <norty> is there a way I can copy many folders at once?
[07:32] <Muzik83> norty cp -R will copy all subfolders
[07:32] <norty> what if i want to copy like 3 out of the 10?
[07:32] <gapagos> it's more than weird it's freakin frustrating... i even tried with ALL partitions unmounted (even those with no changes) to make sure
[07:32] <Mister> (Tip) Internet Explorer is only needed for windows updates, an it still has to be licened!
[07:32] <Muzik83> GUI maybe?
[07:32] <billybob> n2diy: its so bad right now, that  3 people here, me , and a couple buddies (who all repair / work on PCs), all use FF, and we're seriousl;y considering IE7 atm . . .
[07:33] <n2diy> billybob: On Ubuntu boxes?
[07:33] <elkbuntu> Mister, it is also needed for troubleshooting, most help files, office and a number of other programs
[07:33] <norty> i can't drag and drop, i can only use command line to copy things, is there a command to copy like 3 files out 10 files?
[07:33] <gapagos> can anyone tell me why my partitions don't change size after gparted supposedly resized them??
[07:33] <billybob> n2diy: no . . windows
[07:34] <Airwulf> hello to you all
[07:34] <n2diy> billybob: ah, ok, I thought I was in the wrong channel! :)
[07:34] <mojo> hi heirwolf
[07:34] <Muzik83> norty not that im aware of easily
[07:34] <Mister> Linux is still better!
[07:34] <norty> grr
[07:34] <EchoBinary> i loved that show!
[07:34] <gapagos> I need help :'(
[07:35] <cables> gapagos, did you hit apply?
[07:35] <Airwulf> I try to change the desktop background of gnome, but in directory view I can't see for example /usr/. How can I change this?
[07:35] <gapagos> cables: yes I did hit apply. do you want to ask me if I plugged my computer to an A/C power now?
[07:35] <cables> gapagos, stupid, insulting question, but seriously, some people think after they drag the partitions it's already changed them
[07:35] <cables> gapagos, did you?
[07:35] <billybob> n2diy: nope, just me goign a little off topic, after someone said FF was better than ie in windows . .
[07:35] <cables> (plug it in)
[07:35] <mojo> EchoBinary: yeah i did too but that was before i was aware of the black helecoptors
[07:35] <gapagos> cables: yes I did
[07:35] <n2diy> gapagos: viev-hidden files
[07:35] <billybob> n2diy: thats a big problem with this channel, misinformation . .
[07:36] <elkbuntu> Mister, no arguement with that one ;)
[07:36] <gapagos> n2diy: what does that do
[07:36] <Mister> not genuine so don't matter elkbuntu!
[07:36] <paul928> billybob-Personally I really like Opera, except that it doesn't have the extension that I need like Firefox. But I have noticed that Opera is mush faster than Firefox.
[07:36] <elkbuntu> Mister, hmm?
[07:36] <n2diy> gapagos: roger the mis-info, lots of lurkers. Showing hidden files, show all the hidden directories too.
[07:36] <Sisodiya> hi
[07:37] <billybob> paul928: yeah a of people do, however, im o9ld, and used to what i use, i dont like netscape type stuff
[07:37] <gapagos> n2diy how does that helps me
[07:37] <duckx0r> hi, there is a hacker connected to my server right now with the root account. How can I disconnect him?
[07:37] <Mister> That way i love linux, elkbuntu.
[07:37] <mojo> duckx0r: it's called the power switch (j/k)
[07:37] <gapagos> I need help I can't resize Ex3 PARTITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:37] <duckx0r> mojo, hehe i could reboot it... but there must be an easier way
[07:38] <chris_> norty: cp -R fo fol fold /home/chris/folder/
[07:38] <Sisodiya> I m new to UBUNTU..........can any body suggest me good linux tutorial............
[07:38] <dammitman> help! i can't compile any apps in linux
[07:38] <billybob> gapagos: down or up ?
[07:38] <Muzik83> duckxor: do a w to see who is online and note the terminal (eg pts/3) ... then do a ps -ef | grep pts and look for pts/3
[07:38] <norty> what does that do
[07:38] <norty> chris_ what does that do
[07:38] <gapagos> billybob: what?
[07:38] <billybob> never mind.
[07:38] <Muzik83> duckxor: then do a kill <processid> of that one
[07:38] <gapagos> billybob: oh i mean make them smaller
[07:38] <Sisodiya> I m new to UBUNTU..........can any body suggest me good linux tutorial............
[07:38] <Mister> Gates has enough money should offer more open source!!
[07:38] <chris_> norty: copies directory "fo" "fol" "fold" to /home/chris/folder
[07:38] <duckx0r> Muzik83, i tried that, but it doesn't seem to do anything
[07:38] <elkbuntu> Mister, lets not get too excited now
[07:39] <n2diy> gagagos, sorry screen scrolling to fast, it was meant for Airwulf
[07:39] <billybob> gapagos: using what ?
[07:39] <gapagos> billybob: i want to free space to install fedora without using my ubuntu partition
[07:39] <chris_> norty: just an example of what you were asking to do
[07:39] <Mister> lol
[07:39] <Muzik83> er sorry, kill -9 <proces id>
[07:39] <mojo> Sisodiya: cold hard experience, lol...
[07:39] <dammitman> help! i can't compile any apps in linux. what am i doing wrong?
[07:39] <norty> "fo" "fol" and "fold" are 3 different directories and they will be copied to /home/chris/folder
[07:39] <gapagos> billybob using gparted from ubuntu 6.06 live cd
[07:39] <norty> i that what you mean
[07:39] <chris_> norty: yes
[07:39] <duckx0r> Muzik83, thanks man
[07:39] <norty> cool
[07:39] <billybob> errr seeem to rememeber reading something
[07:39] <Muzik83> duckx0r: did it work?
[07:39] <norty> what do I do if the directories have spaces in the names?
[07:39] <mojo> Sisodiya: #1 wait longer before repeating questions.  #2 google linux documentation project, for starters
[07:39] <Sisodiya> please
[07:40] <Flannel> norty: escape them (\ )  tab complete does this for you, by the way
[07:40] <Sisodiya> ok
[07:40] <gapagos> billybob what happens is that gparted SEEMS to be working on resizing partitions (my HD makes normal defragmentiing noise or whatever) and it displays the scroll bar but when its done partitions are the same sizes
[07:40] <norty> chris_ do I have to give the paths of each of the folders?
[07:40] <elkbuntu> Sisodiya, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com might be useful for you as well
[07:41] <chris_> norty: if they are each in a different location
[07:41] <gapagos> billybob and yes, i unmounted the partition first before resizing it
[07:41] <norty> what if they are all in the same location?
[07:41] <duckx0r> Muzik83, yes it did. I was doing a kill <proc_id> and didn't do anything. I was missing the -9.
[07:41] <dammitman> keep getting errors while trying to compile, any suggestions?
[07:41] <Sisodiya> thanks
[07:41] <billybob> gapagos: im assuming you have rebooted more than once ?
[07:41] <duckx0r> Muzik83, my server was compromised and used to send spam. Somehow someone got my root password :(
[07:41] <norty> chris_ so it would be like "/home/norty/Desktop/fol" "/home/norty/Desktop/fold" ..etc ?
[07:42] <gapagos> billybob yes, everytime I try i reboot, and its been 3 times now
[07:42] <chris_> norty: try an play with it a bit, you'll get the grasp of it.. cp will not remove anything so if you get multiple copies of something somehow you can later remove them
[07:42] <norty> ok
[07:42] <chris_> norty: should be that easy
[07:42] <norty> i just dont want to have to do that because im having problems with my permissions
[07:42] <Muzik83> duckx0r: so you don't know how they got hte root password?  they may still be able to get in, and i'm not sure how you would go about ensuring they havent left a trail back in
[07:42] <elkbuntu> duckx0r, are you able to physically walk up to your server at the moment?
[07:42] <paul928> duckx0r:Change your root password!
[07:43] <dammitman> keep getting errors while trying to compile apps, any suggestions?
[07:43] <billybob> gapagos: im looking around online
[07:43] <Muzik83> dammitman: you are probably missing some libraries... can you see what the very first error is (usually a compile error is a few hundered, starting with one error)
[07:43] <duckx0r> Muzik83, i have no idea how they got in. It's probably that I signed up for something on the internet and used the same password as my root password and they just set up a script to login to all the domain servers with the root account and that password
[07:44] <dammitman> ok hold on
[07:44] <duckx0r> elkbuntu, no i'm not. it' sin a data center thousands of miles from here
[07:44] <Mister> duckx0r:   prob thourgh a .exe
[07:44] <chris_> norty: if your not sure norty, I would suggest making a few test folders an toying with it to verify your doing what you want it to do first, # mkdir testfolder  .. etc.
[07:44] <duckx0r> paul928, i have changed my root password and logged someone who was connected out.
[07:44] <dammitman> ok hold onls
[07:44] <fiberchunks> make sure they didn't make any other user accounts / groups etc
[07:44] <chris_> maybe one of you experts can help with a small problem, I have a ubuntu server/gateway an I've noticed all my machines that connect thru this particular gateway experience slow downloads, 900-1200Kb/s average, but if I test speed on a machine that is bypassed this gateway speeds are 2800-2900Kb/s anyone have any idea what could be slowing things down thru the gateway?
[07:44] <Muzik83> duckx0r: i would check the sudoers file, the passwd file, and the nsswitch.conf file
[07:44] <elkbuntu> duckx0r, then you will probably need to notify the datacenter that the machine has been compromised anyway
[07:45] <billybob> gapagos: you're sure, there is enough room to resize ?
[07:45] <gapagos> yes, I'm sizing it down, not up
[07:45] <duckx0r> Muzik83, actually it's running centos. they logged in directly with the root account
[07:45] <billybob> gapagos: if the disk is full you wont beable to eresize down either . .  .
[07:46] <duckx0r> Muzik83, and I have a program set up that if they mistype the root's password twice, their IP gets banned, so they must have known what it was before trying
[07:46] <chris_> duckx0r: did they change the root password, an if not have you since changed it to a new password
[07:46] <gapagos> billybob the partition smaller size is still larger than the space used in the partition
[07:46] <Muzik83> duckx0r: but if they got in, what says they didnt leave a small way for them to get back in?
[07:46] <duckx0r> chris_, thank God, no. It doesn't look like they did anything malicious besides send spam and I think set up a proxy server
[07:46] <gapagos> billybob, I'm only reducing that partition's freespace from 75% to about 45%
[07:46] <chris_> duckx0r: you of course have assigned a new root passwd?
[07:46] <duckx0r> Muzik83, nothing. I'm just hoping they haven't. I should probably get an OS reload, eh?
[07:46] <billybob> gapagos: ok, did you try looking into the gparted error log file ?
[07:47] <duckx0r> chris_, yes of course
[07:47] <duckx0r> chris_, that was the first thing i did
[07:47] <chris_> duckx0r: might want to check an see if they set up any new user accounts as well..
[07:47] <Muzik83> duckx0r: thats the only way i would feel safe
[07:47] <paul928> duckx0r:Why do you think that they sent spam?
[07:47] <gapagos> billybob, no, and it's kinda too late for that I'm not in the LiveCD mode anymore
[07:47] <billybob> of course, being liveCD that wouldnt work out so good . . .
[07:47] <gapagos> it would take me 25 mins to try again
[07:47] <duckx0r> paul928, to make money? why does anyone send spam?
[07:48] <duckx0r> chris_, any way to quickly get a list of users?
[07:48] <frogzoo> duckx0r: who
[07:48] <Muzik83> duckxor, start by doing a cat /etc/passwd
[07:48] <duckx0r> ok
[07:48] <gapagos> ah fuck it i give up
[07:48] <duckx0r> frogzoo, who just lists the current logged in users
[07:48] <paul928> duckx0r:Maybe I should ask how do you know that they sent spam?
[07:49] <gapagos> i think ill just erase ubuntu and remplace it with fedora core
[07:49] <n2diy> ! language | gagagos
[07:49] <ubotu> gagagos: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:49] <duckx0r> paul928, because my server was connected by my datacenter for that reason from complaints from spamhaus i believe
[07:49] <Muzik83> gapagos: whatever works for ya :)  Try CentOS too, it's pretty good
[07:50] <dammitman> hi, sorry. The First error i can see says stdlib.h:no such file/ directory
[07:50] <frogzoo> duckx0r: correct, for all users, cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d :
[07:50] <billybob> gapagos: id check the logs next time yo ufind something, unfortuneatly, i havent experiemnced this myself, and am not finding anything using google :/
[07:50] <gapagos> Muzik83: i want a berryl 3d world compatible OS which has an automatic package installer available such as Atomatix (ubuntu) or Fedora Friend or whatever its name
[07:51] <Muzik83> dammitman: not sure where that comes from, but I would guess its from the cstdlib sort of libraries
[07:51] <gnlnx> anyone know of a quick guide/way to fix a broken package?...specifically 'python-freevo'
[07:51] <Muzik83> dammitman: doy ou have the build-essential packages installed?
[07:51] <duckx0r> frogzoo, i don't think anything there is a new account
[07:51] <n2diy> ! automatix | gagagos
[07:51] <ubotu> gagagos: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:51] <billybob> gapagos: Sabayon(gentoo) ?
[07:51] <cowbud> gnlnx: define broken
[07:51] <dammitman> not sure, how do i find out
[07:51] <gapagos> billybob: sabyon / gentoo doesnt sound user friendly enough for me
[07:52] <gnlnx> cowbud: I get an error saying that 'python-freevo' needs to be reinstalled but no package is found
[07:52] <gapagos> face it... i cant even figure out how to resize an Ext3
[07:52] <frogzoo> duckx0r: are you running an smpt server?
[07:52] <billybob> gapagos: it is a liveCD
[07:52] <cowbud> gnlnx: is this an official package"?
[07:52] <billybob> wit hthe option to install
[07:52] <duckx0r> frogzoo, yep
[07:52] <gnlnx> i dont think it is
[07:52] <chris_> duckx0r: yeah, # cat /etc/passwd   - sorry half here an half with baby
[07:52] <gapagos> billybob i dont like live CDs the os are too slow
[07:52] <cowbud> gnlnx: well then I wouldn't recommend using it
[07:52] <billybob> lol
[07:52] <dammitman> how do i find out if i have the essential build packages installed?
[07:52] <frogzoo> duckx0r: do you have smtp relay enabled?
[07:52] <duckx0r> chris_, yeah I did that. i didn't notice any new accounts.
[07:52] <Muzik83> dammitman: dpkg -l will list everything installed on your computer (by dpkg), then | grep <term> will search for something in that list... so try somethin glike dpkg -l | grep libstdc
[07:52] <billybob> then you must hate the edgy live install ?
[07:52] <gnlnx> is there any quick way to get rid of the error message?
[07:52] <duckx0r> frogzoo, not sure about that. how do i check?
[07:52] <billybob> although Sabayon is much larger
[07:53] <chris_> duckx0r: good
[07:53] <gapagos> billybob the edgy live install doesnt even work for me it freezes at boot.  so yes i hate it lol
[07:53] <billybob> gapagos: it has an install option . . .
[07:53] <pontus> is it possible to not just read a ntfs partitions but write them as well?
[07:53] <frogzoo> duckx0r: my guess is the spammers are relaying through your box
[07:53] <gnlnx> cowbud: everytime i install/upgrade any other package I get an error message about 'python-freevo'
[07:53] <cowbud> gnlnx: remove the packages that depend on python-freevo
[07:53] <duckx0r> frogzoo, it looks like they installed privoxy-3.0.3-2dm1.el4.src.rpm as well
[07:53] <n2diy> damnitman, apt-get install build-essentials
[07:53] <frogzoo> duckx0r: this is not considered a good thing
[07:53] <Airwulf> n2diy: thx now I can see everything
[07:54] <billybob> gapagos: anyhow you said you wanted a beryle automatic install Sabayon has it on the LiveCD, and installs with it i believe
[07:54] <n2diy> Airwulf: cool,  :)
[07:54] <billybob> it does look very good
[07:54] <frogzoo> duckx0r: oh they properly hacked the box?! urgl, well reinstall, only way to make sure there's no back doors
[07:54] <P235> hi
[07:54] <duckx0r> frogzoo, and they also downloaded http://www.metalcode.com/gb/data/photos.txt and http://www.metalcode.com/gb/data/kscr.txt (php files that i'm not sure what they do yet)
[07:54] <gnlnx> cowbud: the 'problem' began after i removed freevo
[07:54] <billybob> and is smooth/fast as greased lightning
[07:54] <gapagos> meh anyway thank you all for your help
[07:55] <pontus> I can read my ntfs partition, is it possible to write as well?
[07:55] <frogzoo> duckx0r: which distro u running?
[07:55] <gnlnx> cowbud: it seems that there was a problem with the removal of freevo
[07:55] <billybob> yeah, a lot of help i was . . .
[07:55] <duckx0r> frogzoo, centos 3.0
[07:55] <gapagos> ill try to see if my Partition Magic on windows can resize my Ext3
[07:55] <gapagos> but I think not if I remember correctly
[07:55] <cowbud> gnlnx: so what is the full error?
[07:55] <frogzoo> duckx0r: and this is an ubuntu problem how?
[07:55] <billybob> could be locked for some reasin, who knows
[07:55] <P235> can anyone recommend a video player for ubuntu?
[07:55] <pontus> vlc
[07:55] <billybob> uh . . .
[07:55] <duckx0r> frogzoo, it's not. i'm just running kubuntu on this computer and it was the first server in the server list
[07:55] <gnlnx> E: The package python-freevo needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[07:55] <pontus> P235: vlc player
[07:56] <dammitman> libstdc ++ 5 abd ++6 i have
[07:56] <gnlnx> cowbud: that's all I get
[07:56] <gapagos> lol
[07:56] <P235> pontus, k thx
[07:56] <duckx0r> frogzoo, ubuntu is practically the same
[07:56] <cowbud> gnlnx: so at the command prompt type sudo apt-get -f install
[07:56] <gnlnx> cowbud:but it gives me an error when doing any updates/upgrades
[07:56] <mojo> billybob: problems with vlc?  go easy man!
[07:56] <frogzoo> duckx0r: they hacked centos or ubuntu?
[07:56] <gapagos> *agrees with billybob about VLC*
[07:56] <ardchoille> duckx0r: Pfft, they use different libs and different package managers.. they are no where near the same.
[07:57] <pontus> billybob: there is nothing you cannot play with vlc. what's not to love?
[07:57] <duckx0r> frogzoo, they hacked centos. ubuntu is on my desktop
[07:57] <billybob> mojo: its a goood idea, vlc, unfortuneatly, it still needs work . . .
[07:57] <Muzik83> duckx0r: thats what i like about linux...my commands i use at home on ubuntu work at work on solaris and HP-UX :)
[07:57] <mojo> P235: there is also mplayer
[07:57] <gnlnx> cowbud: after 'Reading state information...Done' the error message is the last line
[07:57] <duckx0r> Muzik83, exactly
[07:57] <P235> mojo, k I'll give that a try too
[07:57] <dynamicreflux> how does one remove a desktop entry if the Main Menu Editor fails and crashes when attempted?
[07:57] <dammitman> libstdc ++ 5 abd ++6 i have
[07:57] <mojo> billybob: it has worked very well for me until just recently... it dislikes beryl (or vice versa)
[07:57] <cowbud> gnlnx: well it sounds like you're kinda screwed there is no other information?
[07:57] <frogzoo> duckx0r: anyways, the way forward is the same, take all your boxes offline, reinstall from scratch, install all the latest patches & cross your fingers you closed off however they got in
[07:57] <cowbud> gnlnx: where did you get the packages from?
[07:57] <duckx0r> ardchoille, both are linux and basically the commands are the same. sure the package managers are slightly different, but not much
[07:58] <ardchoille> dynamicreflux: The menu entries are kept in either ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications
[07:58] <billybob> mojo: it also doesnt work as it was intended, for playback over the network either
[07:58] <dynamicreflux> thank you sir
[07:58] <gnlnx> cowbud: i was checking mythtv type apps and came across an app called 'freevo'
[07:58] <duckx0r> frogzoo, I'm hosted with Servstra which is a managed hosting provider, so I'll see if they can go through it for me and patch things up
[07:58] <cowbud> gnlnx: uhh where is the question not how as in did you download it from a webpage or what?
[07:58] <billybob> which is the only reason i would ever use it personally
[07:58] <duckx0r> frogzoo, you've been a real help though
[07:58] <Muzik83> dammitman: what are you trying to compile exactrly, is it a well supported thing, or is it something new or small?
[07:58] <mojo> billybob: oh, i have never tried it for streaming.  i just use(d) it for my main player
[07:58] <corevette> how come every so often azureus stops downloading
[07:58] <frogzoo> duckx0r: that's brilliant - if it's a hosted server, it's their problem
[07:59] <gnlnx> cowbud: I added the repository for freevo and installed it using apt-get
[07:59] <pontus> oh mythtv! is that hard to setup?
[07:59] <duckx0r> frogzoo, yeah, that's why i'm paying the big bucks hehe... nah not really.
[07:59] <FunnyLookinHat> dangit, i just removed my system tray...  somehow...  Anyone know who to add it again?  (Not showing up in the Add to panel menu)
[07:59] <frogzoo> duckx0r: lol
[07:59] <billybob> mojo: yeah, i dont know what id use nder linux for playback, but i like  PowerDVD in doze
[07:59] <P235> billybob, do you have a player to recommend?
[07:59] <cowbud> gnlnx: have you tried readding that repo and installing it again then removing it?
[07:59] <P235> ah
[07:59] <billybob> P235: all my windows boxen are for work, not for play ;)
[08:00] <billybob> i dotn even run X on my edgy box
[08:00] <Bartman007> anyone run into a race condition where mdadm sees the old mdrun script and waits for the root volume to appear, and hangs bootup as a result because the root partition is lvm based?
[08:00] <mojo> billybob: i gave windows the boot at home a couple years ago now... only temptation to ever run it again are games, and i am not a big gamer
[08:00] <pontus> is mythtv pretty cool? I just heard about it
[08:00] <billybob> P235: err scratch that, all my LInux boxen are for work, not play
[08:00] <chris_> maybe one of you experts can help with a small problem, I have a ubuntu server/gateway an I've noticed all my machines that connect thru this particular gateway experience slow downloads, 900-1200Kb/s average, but if I test speed on a machine that is bypassed this gateway speeds are 2800-2900Kb/s anyone have any idea what could be slowing things down thru the gateway?
[08:00] <P235> billybob, gotcha
[08:00] <gnlnx> cowbud: I installed freevo again and I still get the error...I tried removing it and the error is still around
[08:00] <Muzik83> pontus: mythtv is awesome
[08:00] <billybob> mojo: i use both
[08:00] <gnlnx> cowbud: i'll keep trying to find a way around this...thanks
[08:01] <corevette> how come every so often azureus stops downloading
[08:01] <billybob> have been for years :)
[08:01] <cowbud> gnlnx: good luck
[08:01] <pontus> Muzik83: it's basically tivo right?
[08:01] <norty> chris_ is it the same command to copy multiply files instead of directories?
[08:01] <Muzik83> pontus: yes, but it doesnt report your viewing back to the mothership :p
[08:01] <mojo> pontus: tivo on steroids doubleplusgood
[08:01] <chris_> norty: yes, you dont have to use the -R
[08:02] <pontus> Muzik83: =D
[08:02] <billybob> mojo: im too much of a serious gamer, and i wont take 'no' for an answer, when it comes to playing the latest games im interrested in, so , . . .
[08:02] <Muzik83> pontus: because its open source, it has many great user contributed offerings...such as mythweb
[08:02] <norty> ok
[08:02] <pontus> Muzik83: elaborate plz
[08:02] <Muzik83> pontus: (mythweb: i can schedule my TV from anywhere in the world on the internet, through a web based tv listing)
[08:03] <pontus> Muzik83: That settles it! I'm getting it RIGHT NOW! LOL
[08:03] <gnlnx> cowbud: thanks
[08:03] <mojo> billybob: yeah i still have it around if i need it... but really the only games that really draw me are the multi-player ones over the lan or net, like halo or warcraft et al
[08:03] <Muzik83> pontus: so for example at work i hear about a great new program... i can go to my website, look at the listings of whats on now, and choose to record  the program happening thisafternoon so its ready when i get home from work
[08:03] <P235> been a while since I've played games...I think my pentium three has something to do with that.
[08:03] <norty> I have a directory with a character in the name that ubuntu is not able to represent, how do get it to copy from my hd to an external usb drive?
[08:03] <pontus> Muzik83: stop it, you're killing me *faints*
[08:03] <dynamicreflux> is anyone else on feisty fawn having the issues with the window application trays changing sizes from really small to huge?
[08:03] <Muzik83> pontus: plus you can pause live tv, skip commercials, watch tv at 1.5x the normal speed
[08:04] <Muzik83> lol
[08:04] <chris_> norty: have you tried using autocomplete, pressing "tab" after you partially spell the name.
[08:04] <norty> yeah but it like beeps at me
[08:04] <norty> lol
[08:05] <Tomcat_> dynamicreflux: #ubuntu+1
[08:05] <dynamicreflux> say for example i open up firefox, and its down in the tray saying "Google". Its only about an inch long.. it used to span across the whole entire bar automatically and resize with more applications being opened. anyone know why this is happening?
[08:05] <billybob> mojo: online gaming isnt what it used to be . . .
[08:05] <chris_> norty: how did you get the strange character in the name?
[08:05] <chris_> norty: is it a windows drive?
[08:05] <norty> i was using xp before
[08:05] <norty> yea
[08:05] <billybob> as soon as kids were able to sign online contracts, at the age of 13, everything went downhill . . .
[08:05] <chris_> norty: its disconnected from windows?
[08:05] <billybob> i have nothing against kids, i just dont want them in my games . . .
[08:05] <norty> i cant access the partition in windows anymore
[08:06] <pontus> Muzik83: so what do I need to get, mythtv and mythweb? anything else I should get?
[08:06] <chris_> norty: is it a special like an I with dots or something like this "~"
[08:06] <ahave> what is a good app to monitor memory/cpu usage?
[08:07] <Muzik83> pontus: ubuntu has mythplugins in the repository...this includes mythweb (which i should mention requires apache and php), mythtv-frontend and mythtv-backend
[08:07] <norty> its an e with a slanted line over it
[08:07] <norty> i think
[08:07] <ahave> and, if i want to start programming C/C++ in linux... where do i start and what do i need to do/install
[08:07] <norty> or maybe an e with a ~ over it
[08:07] <norty> cant remember
[08:07] <mojo> billybob: i don't care so much about with strangers... but my roommates on the lan, or my brothers in illinois (i am in tennessee)... that is fun
[08:08] <pontus> Muzik83: I'm new to linux... what does frontend and backend mean? what do I have to do for apache and php?
[08:08] <fiberchunks> frontend is the stuff you see, backend is the stuff that does the work
[08:08] <dynamicreflux> respect for all you who help complete newbies. much respect
[08:08] <Muzik83> pontus: PM ok?
[08:08] <mojo> billybob: but let's not get too off-topic lest we invoke directed admonitions from ubotu
[08:08] <pontus> Muzik83: sure
[08:08] <fiberchunks> firefox would be a 'frontend' for apache (the web server), which is actually handling all the page requests
[08:09] <pontus> fiberchunks: thx
[08:09] <fiberchunks> np
[08:09] <chris_> ahave: try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333867
[08:10] <Schnickfitzel> Whatcha gonna do with all that junk  All that junk inside that trunk..... My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump  My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump
[08:10] <chris_> norty: how many special characters are in the filename, all, an does it begin with a special character?
[08:10] <norty> its in the middle
[08:10] <pontus> Muzik83: trying to register now
[08:11] <norty> the name is DJ Tiesto
[08:11] <norty> and the e is the problem
[08:11] <fiberchunks> cp DJ\T* <towherever>
[08:11] <mojo> accented e?
[08:11] <chris_> norty: exactly what fiber said
[08:11] <billybob> mojo: not like a lot is going on right now ;)
[08:11] <norty> that exact command
[08:12] <norty> so like sudo cp DJ\T* '/media/Sansa e260'
[08:12] <norty> ?
[08:12] <chris_> norty: yeah
[08:12] <gharz> guys, i've manually updated my kernel to 2.16.19.2 and the problem is it doesn't detect my intel pro 2100 wireless card now... any idea?
[08:12] <norty> sweet
[08:12] <norty> thanks
[08:12] <d0uglas> how to i tell startx to start on a different display? (:1)
[08:12] <Muzik83> d0uglas: startx --:1
[08:13] <d0uglas> ty
[08:13] <billybob> mojo: but if you want to stay semi in topic, lets talk XFS + Samba tuning ;)
[08:13] <Muzik83> er startx -- :1
[08:13] <Muzik83> missed the second space
[08:13] <fiberchunks> norty, the space was also the problem -- you have to escape it, and the * is a 'wildcard' so it'll match anything after the T
[08:13] <fiberchunks> the \ is the 'ignore this' switch in bash shell, fyi
[08:13] <norty> ok cool
[08:14] <mojo> billybob: not a biggie to me.  i can go way off topic if i'm not careful :)  it is in my personality to digress
[08:14] <pontus> how do I change my nickname in here?
[08:14] <Flannel> pontus: /nick [new name]  usually
[08:14] <Muzik83> pontus: /nick yournewname
[08:14] <chris_>  ./nick <newname> without dot
[08:14] <mojo> billybob: i don't use xfs, though i use samba on my home net to talk to my roommies' windows boxes
[08:14] <gapagos> hey i just came back quickly to say that Partition Magic in windows resized correctly my Ext3 unline gparted
[08:15] <gapagos> just for reference billybob
[08:15] <chris_> anyone an expert in here?
[08:15] <Lynoure> chris_: in what?
[08:16] <billybob> mojo: well' if your concerned with 'speed' and are using GbE you may want ot look into XFS, i noticed a semi large speed difference
[08:16] <mojo> chris_: i am not an expert in here, but i am an expert in there
[08:16] <chris_> Lynoure: having some strange issue with my gateway.. download speeds thru the gateway are being restricted for no reason I can determine
[08:16] <D7k> how can I get window maker or fluxbox for ubuntu?
[08:16] <mojo> billybob: 100baseT
[08:16] <jumburrito> anyone know anything about Beryl?
[08:16] <Lynoure> chris_: and by "download speeds" you happen to mean torrents?
[08:16] <chris_> mojo: not quite sure I am interpreting that the way you meant it, but if I am, your a bad boy !! <grin>
[08:16] <Schnickfitzel> D7K, apt-get install fluxbox :E
[08:16] <billybob> ah yeah 11MB/s is all you'll see anyhow ;)
[08:17] <jumburrito> I'm getting an error about "pixmaps" when I try to start beryl-manager
[08:17] <Lynoure> chris_: if so, try disabling ipv6, you might have older hardware that deals badly with it.
[08:17] <billybob> me is ucrrently gettign !50MB/s using Samaba + XFS + GbE
[08:17] <chris_> Lynoure: well, not torrents particularly, anything I am downloading is suffering with this
[08:17] <billybob> ~50MB/s
[08:17] <mojo> chris_: just playing on words..  expert in metallugy, expert in dunebuggy racing, expert in "here"... it is late
[08:18] <dynamicreflux> if i wanted to uninstall WINE as well as everything WINE has created (directories + registry).. how would i go about doing this?
[08:18] <mojo> chris_: but tell more about your configuration.  you have an ubuntu box with multiple nics and are bridging the two?
[08:18] <newest007> hey how do i set the default font in firefox to a larger size? cause everytime i open firefox, the fonts waaay too small
[08:18] <Lynoure> chris_: If you have never gotten better speeds with any system, your isp could be to blame (there is very many variables in play here)
[08:18] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: maybe aptitude remove --purge wine I'm not sure if that will remove all of the files however.
[08:18] <chris_> Lynoure: I have 3mb cable service, thru my gateway I am reduced to 900Kb/s - 1.18Mb/s lately.. on the other side of gateway things are normal, this has just started recently though, this server has been running trouble free for many months
[08:18] <mojo> newest007: yeah i been wanting that answer too... there is some setting somewhree i heard about your dpi calculations ... but i use ctrl-plus and ctrl-minus a lot as needed and get by
[08:19] <billybob> mojo: know of any Linux project centered around DX10 capabilities? I wonder if the dark side has it locked or not
[08:19] <dynamicreflux> i dont have files installed clearzen , only the application along with its hierchy of folders
[08:19] <newest007> same, would be nice to set it too default
[08:19] <mojo> billybob: DX10?
[08:19] <Majin> Hello, everyone!
[08:19] <fiberchunks> newest007, Edit->preferences->content->fonts & colors
[08:19] <fiberchunks> and and mojo ^^^
[08:19] <chris_> billybob: the dark side has always been locked..
[08:20] <billybob> mojo: directx10, as in the reason to buy VIsta, id like to see a Linux project able to use the technology
[08:20] <billybob> such as Wine, or whatever.
[08:20] <fiberchunks> newest007, mojo, click on the advanced and you can set fonts for individual page elements as well
[08:20] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: I would use sudo aptitude remove --purge    <----that should work for you. But I use aptitude to install everything too.
[08:20] <Lynoure> chris_: then it probably boils down to whatever changed when your trouble started. Any idea what that can be?
[08:21] <newest007> it reverts back too the small fonts when i close and reopen firefox though, bit weird
[08:21] <lolman>  billybob considering WINE doesn't have full DX9 support yet DX10 is a long way away ;-)
[08:21] <dynamicreflux> thanks man, last question clearzen, how do you preface a name in irc to identify who you are talking to? curious
[08:21] <mojo> fiberchunks: omg it was that easy all along.  thanks a lot! i haven't the greatest eyesight so, like, i would hug you if i could or something
[08:21] <mojo> lol
[08:24] <chris_> Lynoure: I haven't made any changes, server pretty much runs without any intervention
[08:24] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: Just the name with a colon on the end. It's automatic
[08:24] <billybob> lolman: that doesnt mean someone isnt working on Directx 10 capabilities, or has plans for such goals
[08:24] <dynamicreflux> o, i thought it was a script, so you have to manually type my name in?
[08:24] <mojo> billybob: write MS a love letter?
[08:24] <fiberchunks> newest007, hrm....
[08:24] <billybob> uh, nty
[08:24] <Majin> Hello, everyone!
[08:24] <Majin> This is my first time using IRC, so please be patient. Could someone help me with the  module-init-tools package?
[08:24] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: no the middle mouse button will pasted highlighted text
[08:24] <mojo> billybob: maybe they'll do a port, lol
[08:24] <Lynoure> chris_: and pings go through without dropping massive amounts of packets?
[08:24] <clearzen> dynamicreflux:It's useful
[08:24] <chris_> Lynoure: my fear is that I'm gonna have to rebuild this thing to get it back to working properly, lost my 160 days up by rebooting it 2 days ago also :(
[08:24] <lolman> mojo: living in dreamland? :P
[08:24] <dynamicreflux> hrm darnet cant seem to get my middle mouse button to work
[08:24] <mojo> lolman: not really, just good-humor-land
[08:24] <billybob> mojo: sinc they're not going to backport to XP, somehow i doubt they would even consider doing so for Linux . . .
[08:24] <Lynoure> chris_: (soon I'll go and have breakfast, I originally just wanted to know what field of ubuntu you wanted an expert in...)
[08:24] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: You have to highlight from right to left I believe
[08:24] <chris_> Lynoure: I'm actually connecting thru the gateway at this moment, everything works as it should, there just seems to be some throttling of bandwidth that I have no clue as to why
[08:24] <mojo> billybob: but the cedega people seem to be trying
[08:24] <clearzen> dynamicreflux:
[08:24] <lolman> mojo: I know ;-)
[08:24] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: at least I do
[08:24] <dynamicreflux> gah, any idea why this mouse button isnt working?
[08:24] <dynamicreflux> mx510 logitech
[08:24] <Lynoure> chris_: uptime competing is silly anyway, unless you have customers depending on it
[08:24] <billybob> its like the ONLY reason to upgrade to Vista from XP atm, but again, this isnt a MS support channel, ill try to stay away from the 'dark side' in conversation here :)
[08:24] <chris_> Lynoure: lol, yeah, but I guess I was mostly trying to say this server has been trouble free
[08:24] <dynamicreflux> microsoft sucks for the record
[08:25] <Slant_Laptop> How do I properly remove obsolete configuration files? (as referenced by dpkg/aptitude)
[08:25] <FOLLIA> Hello, am using Ubuntu and i want to access the administrative share on a windows machine
[08:25] <FOLLIA>  i have tried sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=something //192.168.1.2/ /home/doc/
[08:25] <FOLLIA>  and i got the following error 18316: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
[08:25] <FOLLIA>  SMB connection failed
[08:25] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: btw,  I meant the clickwheel not an actual third button on the mouse for pasting
[08:25] <billybob> Slant_Laptop: apt-get clean ?
[08:25] <Slant_Laptop> Slant_Laptop: I think that just cleans out extra packages that have been downloaded.
[08:25] <billybob> yes
[08:25] <mojo> dynamicreflux: nature of the beast... cable companies suck too... it's that profit-centered monopoly thing.  look at what happened to the phone companies who were supposed to build out fiber in trade for tax breaks and being allowed to make profit.  they pocketed it all.
[08:25] <billybob> my bad
[08:25] <Slant_Laptop> Err
[08:25] <chris_> Lynoure: I am pretty educated with computers, no Linux genius by any means, but this thing has me completely stumped, I can't find anything at all wrong with my system for this to be happening
[08:25] <Slant_Laptop> billybob: Yeah. Heh.
[08:26] <billybob> Slant_Laptop: apt-get remove <packages you dont need>
[08:26] <Lynoure> chris_: well, as far as I know, Linux systems do not usually start doing limiting your traffic on its own, so I'd suspect it has some symptom somewhere, lost packet, errors on hw on the logs, something.
[08:26] <Slant_Laptop> billybob: I still need the package, but the associated configuration files are stale.
[08:26] <dynamicreflux> clearzen: you seriously have me flabbergasted, i have your name hilighted and im hitting the middle mouse click wheel button thingy, and nothing is happening
[08:26] <billybob> im not sure aboit 'automaticly' removing said packages
[08:26] <chris_> Lynoure: yeah, been thru logs an found nothing
[08:26] <Slant_Laptop> In one case, beagle has configuration files that have changed.
[08:26] <billybob> oh config files specificaly .  .hmmm
[08:26] <Slant_Laptop> (.desktop files that cause it to auto-start on login.)
[08:26] <mojo> chris_: the load on the server has not gone up lately has it?  maybe the box is just really busy using bandwidth for it's own tasks... it is a server of some sort, right>
[08:26] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg --purge
[08:26] <Slant_Laptop> Except multiple ones startup.
[08:26] <ahave> what if my keyboard type is not listed in the ubuntu drop down list for keybaords?
[08:26] <dynamicreflux> GOTIT! wow im an idiot
[08:26] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: The package is still installed, so I don't want to purge out the whole package.
[08:27] <billybob> the only real way i can think of is manually removing them, perhaps aptitude could remove them ?
[08:27] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: Maybe it doesn't work with that mouse. I dunno off the top of my head
[08:27] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: It onl;y grabs ones marked as 'rc'
[08:27] <chris_> mojo: yeah, load has actually gone down.. used to be frequently abused with Battlefield 2 clients
[08:27] <Lynoure> chris_: and no packet loss below the limit?
[08:27] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: So if it's installed (marked as ii) it will ignore it.
[08:27] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: Yeah, I know.
[08:27] <dynamicreflux> clearzen: would you recommend ubuntu for older folks?
[08:27] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: I'm referring to packges that are still installed, but have obsolete configuration files.
[08:28] <Lynoure> dynamicreflux: if they do not have much computer experience, Ubuntu is better choice than windows, imo
[08:28] <chris_> Lynoure: nothing out of the ordinary
[08:28] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: That would only happen if the package didn't upgrade properly, no?
[08:28] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: As I said, in the case of beagle where multiple iterations of autostart .desktop files have been created through its lifetime.
[08:28] <billybob> dynamicreflux: i would, depends on application really though
[08:28] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: It depends what you want to do with it. If it's surfing the web and such then sure. video can be a pain sometimes but it isn't to bad
[08:28] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: yeah, dirtyness. Probably manual is the only way to go.
[08:28] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: Not really. Conffiles, I believe, are marked as obsolete and not deleted through upgrade.
[08:28] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: I was afraid of that.
[08:29] <clearzen> dynamicreflux: things are just different in linux then say windows. I have my landlord running it and he is 50 or so
[08:29] <dynamicreflux> billybob: i dont know if it was you who told me above or someone else, but this darn icon in my apps list is still there after deleting files for GoogleEarth. i cant get rid of this icon, its like a cancer
[08:29] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: Do you how dpkg tracks obsolete conffiles?
[08:29] <d0uglas> trying to get sound going on other users, think i gotta add a user to the audio group.. what's the command?
[08:29] <Slant_Laptop> I know they aren't tracked in /var/lib/dpkg/info...
[08:29] <d0uglas> or do i just pico /etc/group and add audio: group lines?
[08:29] <Majin> Please, could someone help me with the module-init-tools package internals?
[08:29] <Majin> That is necessary for my modem drivers to be compiled.
[08:30] <Sisodiya> how long it will take to installing KDE........
[08:30] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: Correct, to the best of my knowledge, if they're not in the conffiles list, they're obsolete. But that is a problem if you've manually split out stuff.
[08:30] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: I want to see if I can track down any other obsolete conffiles and see if they can cause other issues and report if proper.
[08:30] <chris_> Lynoure: mojo: well, appreciate the conversation anyhow, I'm darn near convinced I will be rebuilding the OS to repair this..
[08:30] <Lynoure> chris_: and the network card hasn't started thinking it should traffic at 10M only?
[08:30] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: Right, but dpkg still will list them as obsolete even if they're not in .conffiles.
[08:30] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: So they must be tracked someplace...
[08:30] <matheo> whenever I try to install a package, it gives me a dependency error. what gives? any ideas?
[08:31] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: I don't think it has any other way of knowing.
[08:31] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: maybe in available.
[08:31] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: dpkg -s beagle shows the obsolete files and their MD5 sums.
[08:31] <matheo> hello, all BTW!
[08:31] <mojo> chris_: sounds drastic
[08:31] <Sisodiya> can anybody tell me how much time will be consumed in instaliing the KDE
[08:31] <Slant_Laptop> Err, status...
[08:31] <Slant_Laptop> Yes.
[08:31] <Slant_Laptop> That's it.
[08:31] <billybob> Slant_Laptop: you could probably try to contact a dev member, and see if they've got an option, but as far as i know, manual removal, or renaming is the only way to do so(doesnt mean i know everything)
[08:31] <chris_> Lynoure: well, I dont think so.. but even it it were, I dont think that it should affect anything since thats well above the operating range
[08:31] <cafuego_> Slant_Laptop: bit-o-grep? :-)
[08:31] <hcker2000> hi al
[08:31] <Slant_Laptop> cafuego_: Already done,. :_)
[08:31] <dynamicreflux> clearzen: how would i delete anything affiliated with GoogleEarth in my computer
[08:32] <billybob> Slant_Laptop: ive a buddy on another network who used to be on the kernel dev team, sounds lie ka quesiton ill have to ask him someday
[08:32] <Lynoure> chris_: I'd start with changing the cable and possibly the nic anyway :)
[08:32] <chris_> Lynoure: that I did do already, replaced both nics in the server
[08:32] <mojo> chris_: the box itself gets good throughput, right?
[08:32] <matheo> I'm a n00b here <:)
[08:33] <Slant_Laptop> grep "[a-f0-9] * obsolete$" status
[08:33] <Slant_Laptop> That works.
[08:33] <chris_> mojo: the box itself will attain the 3mb speeds, but it won't pass that speed thru
[08:33] <Lynoure> chris_: Both? two on the lan side or internal and external?
[08:33] <matheo> ok well another time perhaps!
[08:33] <mojo> chris_: how about client on lan side to services on the box, not thru the box?
[08:33] <Slant_Laptop> This machine has been updated through breezy and now it's on edgy.
[08:33] <Lynoure> chris_: if just one to the lan, then you have a switch or something between?
[08:34] <Slant_Laptop> So, it has picked up a lot of cruft.
[08:34] <billybob> mojo: are 'we' talking Samba here ?
[08:34] <Sisodiya> any body please tell me
[08:34] <chris_> Lynoure: yes, I use a switch
[08:34] <Lynoure> chris_: and if you do, paid any attention to that device?
[08:34] <Slant_Laptop> WOw.
[08:34] <Slant_Laptop> That's bad.
[08:34] <mojo> billybob: no, bossa nova ; )
[08:34] <gharz> can somebody help me please... i've manually installed the latest kernel to 2.6.19-2 and network-admin doesn't show my intel pro 2100 wireless. any idea?
[08:34] <Slant_Laptop> This explains quite a few odd behaviors I haven't seen on fresh installs.
[08:34] <Sisodiya> please..........
[08:34] <chris_> Lynoure: well, I bypassed it by directly connecting my machine directly to server, same thing
[08:34] <ahave> what if my keyboard type is not listed in the ubuntu drop down list for keyboards?
[08:35] <fiberchunks> mojo, the setting you want (after fiddling with it), is under Edit->preferences->Content "Fonts & Colors" (click advanced) and change the 'minimum font size setting to something else (like 16)
[08:35] <Sisodiya> how much time will be consumed in installing KDE
[08:35] <chris_> Lynoure: also switch allows local traffic to operate at expected speeds
[08:35] <Slant_Laptop> Except scripts that build up in Xsession.d, xdg/autostart, pam.d, and fonts..
[08:35] <Slant_Laptop> Odd.
[08:35] <Lynoure> chris_: ok.
[08:35] <hcker2000> would any one happen to have any ideas how to display a formated (colored and such) html page thats based on an rss feed?
[08:35] <mojo> Sisodiya: apporoximately 1/3rd the time it takes to get an answer on irc, lol  Seriously it all depends on your connect speed if you are downloading the packages
[08:35] <MartinSWE> Im trying to install my Ntegear WG111v2 WLAN dongle on my ubuntu system but i got an error message when using ndiswrapper, i googeld th problem it up and it seams that ubuntu repos only contain ndiswrapper-1.1 and that i need the latest version -1.8. This version does not exist in the ubuntu repos as i understand it so i need some help folowing the guide at  http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation to install nd
[08:35] <MartinSWE> iswrapper-1.8 from source..
[08:36] <chris_> mojo: yeah, speeds from server to clients are good.. only thing that is being affected currently is when it's traffic from Wan to Lan clients
[08:36] <mojo> fiberchunks: was 16, changed to 20 for my tastes.. and thanks again
[08:36] <fiberchunks> np
[08:36] <Sisodiya> my downloading speed is 8kbps
[08:36] <billybob> ...
[08:37] <chris_> mojo: my first suspicions were the firewall/shorewall, but I just didn't seen anything there to suspect as a problme
[08:37] <mojo> billybob: you have samba questions?
[08:37] <Lynoure> chris_: and firewalls do not usually grow new rules on their own :)
[08:37] <billybob> mojo: no, i thought that guy might have had a samba tweaking issue
[08:37] <chris_> Lynoure: lol, not any I've ever used :)
[08:38] <billybob> mojo: for what its worth, im by no means an Ubuntu expert, but would qualify myself someonewhat of a Samba 'expert' ;)
[08:38] <mojo> chris_: you would think something must have changed somewhere... oh, and firestarter/shorewall et all are just really front ends to iptables, methinks
[08:38] <lolman> Sisodiya: it'll take you a while then, something to leave overnight if possible
[08:38] <chris_> mojo: yes, your correct
[08:38] <billybob> at least, where tweaking is concerned.
[08:38] <Sisodiya> thnks
[08:39] <chris_> mojo: but it's a decent frontend for someone that was too lazy to learn iptables
[08:40] <mojo> chris_: have you done any measurements on which procs are running on the server to see what is using its cpu time?  run some tests before, during, an after attempts at large transfers from a client?  see what's moving with the load>?
[08:42] <illriginal> guys, my azureus keeps closing as soon as i open it... how can i fix this?
[08:42] <illriginal> i even restrted the machine
[08:42] <Lynoure> chris_: I still would not rule out hardware problems, unfortunately. In the pci slot or bus or something. I have never tried if a live cd deals with multiple nicks, if it did, I'd try if there is a speed issue without any gateway functionality
[08:42] <mojo> billybob: i hate smb networking in peer to peer mode... one day the machines see eachother by name, the next they don't... not just a samba thing but amongst the windows peers (xp).  i finally switched my network at home to static ip's out of frustration
[08:42] <billybob> thats rather a broad question.
[08:42] <billybob> mojo: misconfiguration ;)
[08:43] <mojo> billybob: stupid browser elections are almost as ridiculous as, say, electronic voting machines in "real" elections.. lol
[08:43] <illriginal> guys, my azureus keeps closing as soon as i open it... how can i fix this?
[08:43] <trollboy> is there an ubuntu way to install a hard drive?
[08:43] <trollboy> I've got the drive in there
[08:43] <trollboy> it was deteched
[08:43] <trollboy> I mod'd /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab
[08:43] <lolman> illriginal: have you made sure java is working properly?
[08:44] <billybob> trollboy: you have the evms package instaled ?
[08:44] <Nanoer> hi
[08:44] <illriginal> no... it was workin for a good 2 hours... then it closed on its own, then i reopened it about 20 times and it just doesn't stay open, lolman
[08:44] <kaso> how come all of a sudden i cant run half the programs on my system? "bash: /usr/bin/sudo: cannot execute binary file"
[08:44] <trollboy> billybob, as I don't know what that is, I'll say no
[08:44] <billybob> trollboy: the evms package can, and does interfere with mounting newly installed hard drives
[08:44] <mathesis> http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=edubuntikq4.png   <<<----where is logotipo check de image?
[08:45] <illriginal> lolman, how do i check if it's working?
[08:45] <billybob> trollboy: which version ? 6.06, or 6.10 ?
[08:45] <trollboy> It is installed billybob
[08:45] <mojo> billybob: one problem i discovered was the windows firewall one machine was set to allow smb browsing out but not in... ugh b ut still it is a nightmare
[08:45] <Nanoer> how do i get ubuntu to not run as a live cd and just install?
[08:45] <billybob> trollboy: are you using LVM ?
[08:45] <trollboy> Nope
[08:45] <trollboy> Ext3 fs's across the board
[08:45] <Nanoer> i have 6.06.1 LTS
[08:45] <billybob> trollboy: apt-get remove evms, if you need it later, re install it
[08:45] <lolman> illriginal: being the idiot I cm, I can't actually remember, best bet would be to try another java based app
[08:45] <sparr> its kinda sad that when i hear someone say "damn, $220 for the vista upgrade?" i cant tell if they are saying 'damn' thats low, or 'damn' thats high.
[08:46] <lolman> am*

[08:47] <shatrat> Nanoer, try downloading the alternative install CD
[08:47] <Paddy_EIRE_> Nanoer, do u already have a windows install

[08:47] <Nanoer> yeah
[08:48] <illriginal> can anyone help me with azureus?
[08:48] <mojo> billybob: ubuntu-base, ubuntu-standard are okay to remove?
[08:48] <Nanoer> i got the cd from shipit
[08:48] <elkbuntu> trollboy, yes, the ubuntu-base and ubuntu-standard packages are just meta packages, that are lists of other stuff to get

[08:48] <Paddy_EIRE_> Nanoer, you can use a Ubuntu installer through Windows
[08:48] <Nanoer> how?
[08:48] <trollboy> now just go through the disk app in administration?
[08:48] <billybob> mojo: i wouldnt know, but if i were to guess, id say no ;)
[08:48] <Paddy_EIRE_> Nanoer, here is the link, 1 sec
[08:48] <shatrat> Paddy_EIRE, thats very not recommended
[08:48] <Nanoer> ok
[08:48] <Paddy_EIRE_> shatrat, works perfect
[08:48] <billybob> mojo: this specific removal as in evms, ive researched ;)
[08:48] <shatrat> Paddy_EIRE, for you maybe
[08:49] <shatrat> !worksforme
[08:49] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[08:49] <Paddy_EIRE_> shatrat, same risk as installing of the cd mate
[08:49] <mojo> i love sitting in here... i always learn something new
[08:49] <ahave> what if my keyboard type is not listed in the ubuntu drop down list for keyboards?
[08:49] <billybob> well ive researched, and implemented.
[08:49] <Paddy_EIRE_> Nanoer, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/
[08:49] <trollboy> and plus it gets me to reboot
[08:49] <trollboy> ;-)
[08:49] <trollboy> trying the format now
[08:50] <trollboy> then gunna reboot and try again on failure
[08:50] <billybob> mojo: i had isssues mounting a newly installed drive, did soem researching using google, and turned up with that, removed the packages, and saw no adverse effects, so i would say, removing evms, and related packages is OK if you're not using LVM ;)
[08:50] <Nanoer> when i go to the link it says server is taking too long to respond
[08:50] <mojo> trollboy: there is no try on failure, there is only do on failure
[08:50] <mojo> lol
[08:50] <billybob> alhough i have noticed the LVM packages still seem to function correctly even without evms installed
[08:51] <mojo> billybob: so un-installing a meta-package won't un-install all the things it depends on... only works the other way around (that the dep's get installed if you install it), right??
[08:51] <gharz> can somebody help me please... i've manually installed the latest kernel to 2.6.19-2 and network-admin doesn't show my intel pro 2100 wireless. any idea?
[08:51] <lolman> Can you still use software RAID in Ubuntu or not?
[08:51] <billybob> mojo: again, no idea.
[08:51] <gharz> i've searched google and nothing gives me the answers.
[08:51] <trollboy> and now I reboot
[08:51] <mojo> trollboy: /me prefers tilt-mode ;)
[08:51] <trollboy> wish me luck
[08:52] <billybob> mojo: if you're trying to say something, come out and say it already ;)
[08:52] <Paddy_EIRE_> Nanoer, keep tryin the link
[08:52] <kristjans> can i get a trashcan on the desktop?
[08:52] <Nanoer> any clue i can just get like a command prompt?
[08:52] <Nanoer> *any clue how
[08:52] <Nanoer> so i just type in install
[08:52] <Nanoer> and it does?
[08:52] <sparr> does ubuntu provide a gui to access update-alternatives?
[08:52] <julian_> anybody know why I would have slow transfer speeds of a USB 2.0 disk.  its using ehci_hcd and it knows that its a full speed usb 2.0 device
[08:52] <billybob> luck shouldnt be needed for removing evms . . .
[08:53] <billybob> evms -> enterprise volume management . . .
[08:53] <Nanoer> because the whole reason i'm trying get ubuntu on is to get kubuntu because the computer only has 128MB ram
[08:53] <Nanoer> keeps freezing at the loading screen
[08:53] <AMREENA> does ubuntu provide a windows Cds like XP Win98 etc?
[08:53] <Paddy_EIRE_> AMAG, yep
[08:53] <Paddy_EIRE_> oops
[08:53] <mojo> billybob: i mean that uninstalling a meta package like ubuntu-base won't make apt un-install all the things that ubuntu-base "depends" on, just uninstalls the meta package... whereas installing a meta package causes a bunch of stuff it depends on to be loaded... i.e. the purpose of a meta-package, to group a bunch of stuff for easy install.  right?
[08:53] <Paddy_EIRE_> AMREENA, yes it does
[08:53] <AMREENA> ok
[08:53] <lolman> AMREENA: yes, you can download them
[08:54] <posingaspopular> Nanoer: you might want to consider xubuntu if you only have 123 RAM
[08:54] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Kubuntu won't be great on 128Mb ram.
[08:54] <AMREENA> and by shiping ?
[08:54] <posingaspopular> 138mbRAM
[08:54] <billybob> mojo: well the removal of said package, has ben documented all over the web, and has no ill effects, that im aware of, even after doing so myslef
[08:54] <lolman> Or order some from Ship-It (If they still do the dapper cds)
[08:54] <cafuego_> posingaspopular: tsss
[08:54] <lolman> !shipit
[08:54] <ubotu> shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will not send Edgy (6.10) CDs, but only Dapper (6.06) CDs, as Dapper is a !LTS release.
[08:54] <billybob> mojo: now if you're saying there is a better way, im all ears :)
[08:54] <posingaspopular> cafuego_: tsss?
[08:54] <mojo> billybob: good.  i am not arguing, btw.. i am just making sure i understand because i did not realize that before
[08:54] <Nanoer> well what should i get theN/
[08:54] <cafuego_> posingaspopular: Repeat after me. "128" ;-)
[08:54] <Nanoer> i need to be able to run open office on it
[08:55] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Xubuntu will be fine.
[08:55] <billybob> mojo: oh no, youve got me wrong, im all for learning to do things the proper way, if ive been doing it wrong
[08:55] <Nanoer> ok
[08:55] <lolman> On 128MB RAM I'd run fluxbox :P
[08:55] <cafuego_> Nanoer: But openoffice will groan. it'll run, but it won't start quickly.
[08:55] <julian_> does ntfs-3g write to an NTFS partitions slow?
[08:55] <AMREENA> i wand to ubuntu send me these Cds . so any link for this
[08:55] <lolman> !shipit | AMREENA
[08:55] <ubotu> AMREENA: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will not send Edgy (6.10) CDs, but only Dapper (6.06) CDs, as Dapper is a !LTS release.
[08:55] <cafuego_> AMREENA: http://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[08:55] <Nanoer> well i'm trying to get my parents to not waste 100 bucks on xp just for excel
[08:55] <billybob> mojo: honestly, i dont know *if* that has any side effects, but ive done it myself, and seen none
[08:55] <Nanoer> so it'll have to do
[08:56] <AMREENA> ok thanx cafuego
[08:56] <mackinac> I am trying to install a gnome desktop on top of a server install. Having trouble with xserver i think... I get a gdm login, but then it logs me into a tiny terminal window
[08:56] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Get them to waste $25 on a stick of ram ;-)
[08:56] <Nanoer> lol
[08:56] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Coz 128Mb isn't going to run XP
[08:56] <Nanoer> =0 nice idea
[08:56] <Nanoer> it is tho
[08:56] <Nanoer> right now
[08:56] <Nanoer> we have a 14 day trial thing
[08:56] <billybob> lol
[08:56] <Nanoer> it runs faster than knoppix
[08:56] <lolman> Nanoer: ewww
[08:56] <Nanoer> which is freaky
[08:56] <AMREENA> cafuego i already search it but there is no option of windows Cds like Xp and win98
[08:57] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Of course, it's not running off a cd and using a bunch of ram as ramdisk.
[08:57] <elkbuntu> Nanoer, because knoppix runs from a cd. running an operating system from a cd is very slow
[08:57] <Nanoer> oh
[08:57] <cafuego_> AMREENA: Why would Ubuntu sell you windows?
[08:57] <mojo> anyone here really good with x11 stuff?
[08:57] <billybob> dpk-reconfigure x11 ?!
[08:57] <AMREENA> cafuego wat do u mean ?
[08:57] <Muzik83> mackinac: could it be TWM which you are logging into?  have you tried changing your session
[08:57] <mojo> lol @ billybob
[08:57] <billybob> dpkg . . .
[08:58] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Seriously though, OOo is really nice and they'll be happy enough with it. If they can invest in an extra 28Mb though, they'll be even happier.
[08:58] <Flannel> AMREENA: ubuntu provides ubuntu, ubuntu doesn't ship windows.  It's an alternative to windows
[08:58] <Nanoer> no place sells that low ram for laptops anymore though
[08:58] <cafuego_> Nanoer: If not, gnumeric is far more lightweight than OOcalc and kinda nifty :-)
[08:58] <Nanoer> is it spreadsheet?
[08:58] <cafuego_> extra 128, sorry
[08:58] <elkbuntu> Nanoer, he meant 128mb
[08:58] <billybob> mojo: toss the wuestion out, perhaps i know. not that i know everything
[08:58] <AMREENA> ok
[08:58] <mackinac> Muzik83, no, how?
[08:58] <billybob> question*
[08:58] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Yup
[08:58] <Nanoer> i know but no place sells that low
[08:59] <Nanoer> best buy has like 512
[08:59] <Nanoer> but it's like 60 bucks
[08:59] <elkbuntu> Nanoer, try ebay
[08:59] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Any local places that sell second hand machines?
[08:59] <Nanoer> googling right now
[08:59] <Nanoer> lol
[08:59] <mojo> billybob: no, i just installed beryl, and am having problems with video now.... like i was saying earlier, my vlc player was grrrreat until very recently.  it does not like beryl (or vice versa)...  wondering about aiglx and xvideo and opengl video and such
[08:59] <yell0w> Nanoer, go to second hand warehouses :) i saw 128 for 12 and 256 for 20
[08:59] <fiberchunks> what kind of ram?
[08:59] <Nanoer> laptop
[08:59] <billybob> !beryl
[08:59] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[08:59] <cafuego_> Nanoer: pc100? pc133? ddr?
[08:59] <billybob> you tried that channel ?
[09:00] <Nanoer> uh..
[09:00] <cafuego_> Nanoer: what cpu?
[09:00] <mojo> yeah, i have before.. just thought i'd try in here
[09:00] <Nanoer> pentium 3
[09:00] <illriginal> Can someone PLEASE help me with Azureus... or recommend me a BETTER Torrent Program?!
[09:00] <cafuego_> pc133 then
[09:00] <Nanoer> ok
[09:00] <elkbuntu> Nanoer, do you know what model the computer is?
[09:00] <Muzik83> mackinac: this is a guess as to what your problem is, so this may not solve it, but in the login window probably in the bottom left corner, there is a "change session"
[09:00] <mojo> illriginal: your az shuts down immediately>
[09:00] <fiberchunks> pc133 sdram?
[09:00] <elkbuntu> (and brand)
[09:00] <billybob> mojo: does vlc even support berly accelerated desktops ?
[09:00] <illriginal> yeah mojo ><
[09:00] <Nanoer> yes hp omnibook xe3
[09:00] <cafuego_> Oh, unless it's rdram.  did that ever go into laptops?
[09:00] <mackinac> right
[09:00] <billybob> beryl*
[09:00] <posingaspopular> room: I need to reinstall my GRUB. where can i find info on that?
[09:01] <illriginal> as soon as i open it, it loads up the torrents it's currently about to start downloadin
[09:01] <cafuego_> fiberchunks: Yeh, most likely.
[09:01] <illriginal> and then shuts down quickly.
[09:01] <mackinac> Muzik83, ill try
[09:01] <mojo> illriginal: well lemme see if it keeps a log file somewheres... or maybe java does... how do other java apps work for you?
[09:01] <JDski> posingaspopular: try google
[09:01] <Flannel> !grub | posingaspopular, first link
[09:01] <ubotu> posingaspopular, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:01] <Flannel> JDski: that attitude is not welcome here
[09:01] <fiberchunks> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820172002  << nanoer -- I thinks it's the right one
[09:01] <illriginal> i honestly believe i dont have any other java apps.
[09:01] <posingaspopular> Flannel: thanks
[09:01] <Nanoer> thanks
[09:01] <fiberchunks> cafuego, is that 144 pin? I can't remember
[09:01] <illriginal> i just finished installing sun 6
[09:01] <JDski> what attitude? that's what i always do when i need info when hacking my system
[09:01] <cafuego_> fiberchunks: no idea :-)
[09:02] <mojo> billybob: i dunno... it will work, but beryly (thats a punny one)... well mplayer has problems with beryl too, actually
[09:02] <JDski> usually the first 3 links are the best
[09:02] <billybob> mojo: i take it youve reconfigured vlc ?
[09:02] <mojo> billybob: i tried every video out setting
[09:02] <JDski> excuse me for passing on my work tips
[09:02] <Paddy_EIRE_> Nanoer, how are you gettin on
[09:02] <Nanoer> i'm trying to see if i can figure out how to get a command prompt or something going
[09:02] <elkbuntu> Flannel, there's a difference between jfgi and a genuine response to a 'where' question
[09:02] <mojo> illriginal: you have any other java apps to try?  oh, i am not sure i have tried java 6
[09:03] <fiberchunks> Nanoer, yah, that should be the right RAM I posted up there
[09:03] <Nanoer> right now it's at a screen that let's me pick things like start ubuntu memory test boot from first hard disk
[09:03] <billybob> mojo: i dont know hwo the architecture works, but i would think, there probably is an alternative video method being used now, so perhaps somethign along the lines of a dpkg-rteconfigure vlc is needed ?
[09:03] <Nanoer>  k thanks it looks right
[09:03] <illriginal> mojo i dont think i have any to begin with.. only azureus
[09:03] <Nanoer> i opened it up once and it looks almost the same at the ram inside
[09:04] <mojo> illriginal: I am using Java 1.5.0_08  Sun Microsystems Inc. SWT v3318, gtk Linux v2.6.17-10-386, i386
[09:04] <JDski> posingaspopular: what's wrong with your grub?
[09:04] <posingaspopular> room: when i get to grub, at grub> root hd0, it spits back 'unrecofnized string device'
[09:04] <chalcedony> i opened www.anywho.org and got a popup ad that enlarged my firefox. (ubuntu edgy) HOW can i reset firefox to the size i had it?
[09:04] <mojo> billybob: you like that dpkg-reconfigure command lots, lol
[09:04] <posingaspopular> JDski: it wont boot ubuntu right
[09:04] <Nanoer> i'm gonna try a last ditch effort before buying the ram
[09:04] <JDski> hmm
[09:04] <JDski> running dual boot?
[09:04] <Nanoer> try to burn xubuntu alternate cd
[09:05] <JDski> or single?
[09:05] <chalcedony> Nanoer: you can hardly go bad with more ram
[09:05] <posingaspopular> yea ubuntu and XP
[09:05] <Nanoer> it's my parent's laptop though
[09:05] <Nanoer> the less money they spend the more i can get
[09:05] <mojo> billybob: but it is worth a try for sure.  i had thought maybe since i switched from fglrx to ati driver (so i could get aiglx) that i needed something more in my xorg.conf but it seems to work fine with metacity (both vlc and mplayer).
[09:05] <chalcedony> ask them to pay for it they will love it
[09:05] <billybob> mojo: i dont even know if vlc is a 'deb' install or not, im jsut saying, you're using a different video 'driver' for your desktop now, so somethign nEEDS to tell vlc
[09:05] <JDski> i've this box on ubuntu and 2k pro
[09:05] <Nanoer> they don't care if it's slow
[09:05] <Nanoer> but see
[09:05] <Nanoer> they use it
[09:05] <JDski> lemme dig up my grub
[09:05] <cafuego_> Nanoer: have a play with xubuntu first, see if the ram is REALLY needed.
[09:05] <posingaspopular> thanks
[09:05] <JDski> np
[09:05] <Nanoer> if i save them 100 bucks on it so they don't have ot buy xp
[09:05] <Nanoer> i get the 100 bucks
[09:05] <mojo> illriginal: how about frostwire (or limewire)... they run on java
[09:06] <Nanoer> since they would be spending it anyway
[09:06] <chalcedony> cafuego: is probably right Nanoer .. enjoy
[09:06] <Nanoer> thanks
[09:06] <cafuego_> chalcedony: Of course I am :-)
[09:06] <chalcedony> :)
[09:06] <Nanoer> when i burn it
[09:06] <Nanoer> does it matter if it's a dvd +r or -r?
[09:06] <mojo> illriginal: well let me see i'll peek in the /opt/azureus and /var/log to see if az logs anything
[09:06] <chalcedony> i can't seem to make firefox do anything :(
[09:06] <cafuego_> Nanoer: nope
[09:06] <billybob> mojo: although, i suppose it is also possible, that vlc, and beryl are incompatable at current . . .
[09:06] <Nanoer> ok
[09:06] <illriginal> mojo im using: Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition, Java runtime environment using GIJ, ok
[09:07] <Nanoer> i'm gonna finish this tomorrow it's late and i need to take a break
[09:07] <Nanoer> been at this for like 10 hours now
[09:07] <JDski> move to /query posingaspopular
[09:07] <chalcedony> firefox is taking up one full monitor .. thank goodness i have two
[09:07] <posingaspopular> uh is that PM?
[09:07] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Oh!
[09:07] <Nanoer> bye and thanks for all the help everyone
[09:07] <JDski> aye
[09:07] <illriginal> Java plugin for mozilla/firefox <- as well
[09:07] <cafuego_> Nanoer: Before you buy ram, check to see if it has 2x64M or 1x128M now.
[09:07] <JDski> opens up a seperate window
[09:07] <mojo> illriginal: hmm.. don't know how azureus works with blackdown... but it could be your problem.  just wild guessing though.  there is a command, i forget, to choose which java... hmm..
[09:07] <Jimmey> How cna I change the permission on my second hard drive so that everyone can write to it?
[09:07] <posingaspopular> done
[09:07] <chalcedony> bye Nanoer good luck with it
[09:07] <Nanoer> it has 2 slots
[09:07] <chalcedony> sleep well
[09:07] <illriginal> hm..
[09:08] <Nanoer> thanks and night
[09:08] <chris_> posingaspopular: whats the output of # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:08] <lolmam_> Hah this live cd doesn't want to work...just had to boot it in safe graphics mode
[09:08] <mojo> billybob: it could be.. i have not had much time to research it yet... as always doing 5 things at once, ya know...  :)
[09:08] <posingaspopular> i got nothing back
[09:09] <chalcedony> illriginal: i opened anywho .. a popup ad made my firefox huge.. i closed it and it is still HUGE even though i didnt reload the pages.
[09:09] <chris_> posingaspopular: sudo mount -t /boot
[09:09] <chris_> posingaspopular: then try # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:10] <posingaspopular> chris_: sudo mount -t boot, gets me back to ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[09:10] <chalcedony> where's the home network for firefox?
[09:10] <illriginal> maybe ill just stick to bit torrent... this is drivin me nuts
[09:10] <mojo> illriginal: look in /opt/azureus and see if you have any hs_err_pidXXXX.log files - if you do that might give clues
[09:10] <cafuego_> posingaspopular: What is 'sudo mount -t boot' supposed to do?
[09:10] <posingaspopular> i have no idea!
[09:10] <chris_> posingaspopular: # mount -t /boot  not mount -t boot
[09:10] <posingaspopular> i dont know how to do this
[09:11] <posingaspopular> chris_: yea thats what i typed, i did a typo on irc
[09:11] <chris_> posingaspopular: # cd /boot/
[09:11] <cafuego_> chris_: that is the 'boot/' filesystemtype?
[09:11] <johnzo_> hi all, any alsa people here?  I'm having trouble capturing audio via line-in.
[09:11] <posingaspopular> that didnt do anything either
[09:11] <chris_> cafuego_: that is where /boot/grub is located
[09:11] <billybob> mojo: google isnt turning up much either
[09:12] <chris_> posingaspopular: now do # ls -l
[09:12] <Poseiden> I'd like to move a server, currently running Debian etch, to dapper.  Is there a howto or something that I've not yet found that will help avoid the nasty package version collisions and deps problems?
[09:12] <lolman> Is software RAID possible in Ubuntu now? I know it was in Breezy
[09:12] <mojo> billybob: yeah, i didn't have much luck with google either
[09:12] <cafuego_> chris_:  -t specifies a filesystem type, not a mount point.
[09:12] <chris_> posingaspopular: you should see a grub folder?
[09:12] <posingaspopular> im not seeing anything
[09:12] <illriginal> mojo lol i can't find it.
[09:12] <posingaspopular> this is in the terminal right
[09:12] <illriginal> cna't find my folder.
[09:12] <Jimmey> How can I change the permissions on my second hard drive so that everyone can read/write to it?
[09:12] <mojo> illriginal: you may google azureus and blackdown to see if others have mentioned problems with the two...
[09:12] <snail> is there anything i can do about the slowly rising size of x on dapper? or is a two month old xsession meant to explode the Xorg process to 367 megs of memory?
[09:12] <billybob> mojo: ATI or nvidia ?
[09:13] <billybob> mojo seems ATI users are having more difficulties
[09:13] <chris_> cafuego_: lol, oh your right.. I was just helping someone else with a samba mount an had that in my head still
[09:13] <chris_> posingaspopular: # mount /boot
[09:13] <snail> chalcedony: there isn't a home network on firefox
[09:13] <mojo> illriginal: well then that just means none were created... it appears to be a crash log from "hot spot java" whatever that is.
[09:13] <ardchoille> billybob: I've never had a prob with nvidia cards, can't say the same for ATI cards.
[09:13] <illriginal> no no im tryin to find the .azureus album
[09:13] <billybob> ATI users have loads more problems in X
[09:14] <posingaspopular> everything i type gets me back to ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[09:14] <JDski> check msgs posingaspopular
[09:14] <JDski> you can change parts as they'd apply to your system
[09:14] <ardchoille> billybob: Ah, so I wasn't alone.
[09:14] <chris_> posingaspopular: thats fine
[09:14] <JDski> #            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
[09:14] <JDski> #            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub

[09:28] <youkilldkennedy> And it's not working.
[09:28] <mojo> illriginal: latest & "greatest" or not, it is possible that Azureus doesn't like it.  It is at least one variable you can control to help diagnose your problem.  it is the scientific method, man

[09:28] <Poseiden> miniman: mount -o remount,rw /file/system/mount/point

[09:28] <cafuego_> illriginal: I know. Now quit azureus and rerun the update-alternatives command. Pick the sun-6 one
[09:28] <snail> miniman: you need to umount and then mount with the right options
[09:28] <fiberchunks> youkilldkennedy, sorry, I meant, do you have gnome / kde, or just a terminal
[09:28] <illriginal> ok cafe
[09:28] <youkilldkennedy> GNOME
[09:28] <snail> miniman: i forget them, but the man page for mount will have them
[09:28] <fiberchunks> then why isn't it working?
[09:29] <fiberchunks> as in, if you have a desktop environment, how is it _not_ working?
[09:29] <illriginal> ok i picked the sun 6
[09:29] <illriginal> open azureus?
[09:29] <snail> youkilldkennedy: the real solution is to get some hardware from a vendor that supports ubuntu

[09:30] <youkilldkennedy> The game I tried to play a freeware game and the fps was too low.
[09:30] <fiberchunks> ahhhh
[09:30] <oggy> i used the beryl script to install beryl in ubuntu
[09:30] <cafuego_> illriginal: and it'll magically work.
[09:30] <illriginal> yes it's workin now :P
[09:30] <youkilldkennedy> Needed some commas there, but yeah.
[09:30] <illriginal> wooohooo
[09:30] <cafuego_> illriginal: Each time azureus crashes, you need to repeat these steps./
[09:30] <fiberchunks> youkilldkennedy, you need the binary driver for nvidia, it's probably using nv right now (the open version)
[09:30] <illriginal> thanks a lot mojo and especially cafeugo :D
[09:30] <billybob> mojo: there is somethign i just noticed abotu Samba i dont like, copying files from one directory, to another, even if on the same disk, STILL uses the network, thats pretty lame IMO

[09:31] <illriginal> understood cafuego

[09:32] <billybob> god, that was annoying

[09:33] <JDski> i know doing that works for upgrading, dont know about downgrading though
[09:33] <frogzoo> oggy: you don't need a script, just follow that url from ubotu ^^

[09:33] <Kaso> I think that i've killed my ubuntu, i was having problem running simple programs like sudo and vim, it was saying binary could not execute or something along those lines, so i restarted my PC, and now it appears my GRUB has been re-written to have kernals 2.6.17-11 and 2.6.17-10 (and not my windows) and when trying to boot either kernals, the boot hangs, with the following errors: http://www.pastey.net/6470 I wonder if anyone has an idea where i s
[09:33] <oggy> k thanks
[09:33] <JDski> Poseiden: i had someone walk thru beryl install... didnt know there was a script for it
[09:33] <Poseiden> JDski: this is more of a "cross-grading".  Most of the packages in etch are the same versions as dapper.
[09:34] <billybob> Kaso: reboot, hit esc, and select the old kernel ?
[09:34] <youkilldkennedy> fiberchunks: Thanks for your help.
[09:34] <frogzoo> !grubb | Kaso
[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grubb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:34] <frogzoo> !grub | Kaso
[09:34] <ubotu> Kaso: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:34] <fiberchunks> youkilldkennedy, np, sorry I don't know more about installing with a pkg mgr :\
[09:34] <frogzoo> Kaso: follow the recovering after windows link
[09:34] <youkilldkennedy> fiberchunks: Alls good. I found it.
[09:34] <fiberchunks> cool
[09:34] <youkilldkennedy> fiberchunks: Hopefully it works.
[09:35] <fiberchunks> indeed :)
[09:35] <jmspeex> Can anyone give me a hand getting the synaptics driver to work?
[09:35] <JosefK> has anyone had Ubuntu Server 6.10 running on a PowerEdge 1900?
[09:35] <Poseiden> cafuego: well, thought it was worth a shot.  I'll just stich with etch for now, until there is a new LTS version.
[09:35] <Kaso> grub isnt the problem, the -10 kernel in it is exactly the same as i had pre-problems and it still dies on bootup
[09:35] <JDski> Poseiden: not sure if you've tried it yet but, feisty isnt too bad
[09:35] <yasi8h> hello there, i just switched to ubuntu from xp and i want to get all the bookmarks that i had on mozilla in xp to mozilla in ubuntu... is this possible?
[09:35] <Poseiden> JDski: I like it on my desktop systems.  I'm nervous about it on a server.
[09:35] <JDski> ah
[09:36] <fiberchunks> yasi8h, did you blow away windows when you changed over?
[09:36] <snail> yasi8h: sure, just copy them across
[09:36] <jmspeex> Depending on the config I use, I either get a (sort of) usable mouse, but not any of the synaptics stuff, or else the synaptics stuff (e.g. config tools) work, but I get no mouse movement.
[09:36] <JDski> yasi8h: you could try exporting your bookmark file and mailing it to yourself
[09:36] <JDski> i've done that quite a bit
[09:36] <miniman> k, I tried mounting it with -w, but it still doesn't work..only root can access it.
[09:36] <JDski> if you didnt wipe your xp yet
[09:36] <yasi8h> copy what file? to what file
[09:36] <yasi8h> no i have xp with me
[09:36] <yasi8h> its a dule boot system now
[09:37] <mojo> yasi8h: aren't they in a file called bookmarks.html in your profile?  you should be able to copy that file over
[09:37] <JDski> Poseiden: i've been using it on server
[09:37] <yasi8h> ok
[09:37] <yasi8h> i'll check that out
[09:37] <JDski> seems to be fine
[09:37] <billybob> they are
[09:37] <billybob> mojo: using FF, im used to backing up my bookmarks ;)
[09:37] <JDski> i mainly use my system as a LDS though,
[09:37] <billybob> FF likes to lose its brain once in a while
[09:38] <Poseiden> JDski: My concern is that the new major versions of some of my key software have totally different conf files.  So I won't want to upgrade a live box until I have time to fix the errors that will inevitably crop up.
[09:38] <JDski> ahh
[09:38] <JDski> good point m8
[09:39] <Poseiden> JDski: LDS?  That's Local Dive Shop to me.
[09:39] <JDski> lol
[09:39] <JDski> =) Local Development System
[09:39] <JDski> system/server
[09:39] <yasi8h> where do firefox store the profiles/bookmarks in xp?
[09:39] <Poseiden> JDski: Ah, right. :)  This one is internet connected, so I'll want to keep a bit more of an eye on it.
[09:39] <billybob> Yancho: user directory
[09:39] <yasi8h> i can find the bookmarks folder in ubuntu but not in xp
[09:39] <billybob> yasi8h: user directoy
[09:40] <Muzik83> yasi8h: Docs and Settings/Username/Mozilla/Firefox/<some crazy letters>/bookmarks.html
[09:40] <Poseiden> yasi8h: If I had to guess (and I do, since I don't know), c:\documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\....\bookmarks.html
[09:40] <yasi8h> ok
[09:40] <Muzik83> bah poseiden has it right
[09:40] <yasi8h> i'll check the path
[09:40] <Muzik83> forgot the Application Data
[09:40] <tehsu> anyone here actually get windows mobile connected to there phone to sync
[09:40] <oggy> eh
[09:40] <billybob> yasi8h: just export the bookmarks for bookmark management
[09:40] <billybob> from*
[09:41] <yasi8h> ok
[09:41] <oggy> I dont see an install for beryl how to
[09:41] <oggy> ?
[09:41] <oggy> on that link
[09:41] <acojlo> " /username / application data / mozila / ... / bookmarks.html "
[09:41] <yasi8h> ok i think its there
[09:41] <billybob> yasi8h: bookmarks -> organize bookmarks -> file ->export
[09:41] <qch> Hey, I have a Realtek ALC883 sound card, and every time in the GNOME mixer, I see OSS Mixer is being used ! How can I get Alsa mixer to appear ?
[09:42] <yasi8h> ok
[09:42] <miniman> I need to mount /dev/hda1 so that ALL users can  access it, but only root can..Anyone know how to resolve this?
[09:42] <acojlo> well, chmod or change group in /etc/fstab
[09:42] <oggy> does anyone have a script for installing beryl on ubuntu
[09:42] <oggy> 64bit
[09:42] <JDski> chmod would be easier
[09:42] <oggy> that works
[09:42] <mojo> miniman: all can access the entry under /dev or just the mountpoint?
[09:42] <oggy> =)
[09:43] <miniman> mojo: so they can all access the filesystem once its mounted
[09:43] <billybob> oggy: nvidia has one
[09:43] <Poseiden> miniman: is hda1 a windows partition?
[09:43] <miniman> yes
[09:43] <miniman> windows
[09:43] <JDski> chown
[09:43] <miniman> doesnt work
[09:43] <mojo> oggy: there is a deb package, that is how i installed it
[09:43] <Poseiden> miniman: you need to set the mount option users, if memory serves.
[09:43] <miniman> I tried that.
[09:43] <mojo> oggy... i added a repository... 1sec...
[09:43] <miniman> i did this:
[09:43] <oggy> ah
[09:44] <JDski> been nice chatting with y'all... again, sorry about the flood earlier and thanks for the pastebin tip
[09:44] <miniman> mount -o users,rw /dev/hda1 /home/sam/windows
[09:44] <JDski> y'all have a good one
[09:44] <Poseiden> miniman: and no luck?
[09:44] <miniman> nope
[09:44] <acojlo> miniman "chmod XYZ folder_name" X can be 4, 2, 1 or 6 or 7
[09:44] <Poseiden> JDski: cheers
[09:44] <miniman> acojlo: it wont let me chmod it
[09:44] <acojlo> well, try it as root
[09:44] <JDski> ty Poseiden
[09:44] <miniman> i did
[09:44] <miniman> wont let me
[09:44] <JDski> and ty radar1976
[09:45] <miniman> "changing permission of read only file system"
[09:45] <youkilldkennedy> I'm trying to use the Network Connection program that installed with Ubuntu, but when I click 'Configure' for a Network, it tells me I do not have permission.
[09:45] <Poseiden> miniman: did it give you any error messages or feedback?
[09:45] <JDski> =)
[09:45] <miniman> "changing permission of read only file system"
[09:45] <Poseiden> miniman: I meant when you did the mount.
[09:45] <miniman> no
[09:45] <miniman> no errros
[09:45] <acojlo> miniman - well, you can not put "write" bit to that folder
[09:45] <miniman> that doesnt matter
[09:45] <yasi8h> hey thanks everybody i exported everything from xp to ubuntu...
[09:45] <Ian-C> Frogzoo:  If I run the script from the terminal, it starts up Gnomeradio and does the record.  If I run it as a cron job it doesn't start the radio, but still does the record.  Any suggestions?
[09:45] <miniman> i just want all users to be able to access it
[09:45] <Poseiden> miniman: Okay.  Just for giggles: mount -o rw,remount,users /dev/hda1 /home/sam/windows
[09:46] <miniman> k
[09:46] <whazilla> i got a problem with my network shares on linux ... i must chown them to the network user in order to download em on another pc ?
[09:46] <JDski> argh
[09:46] <billybob> whazilla: what do you mean ?
[09:47] <whazilla> i mean acces denied
[09:47] <billybob> ok what protocol ?
[09:47] <billybob> samba ?
[09:47] <whazilla> samba
[09:47] <billybob> did you add a user to samba ?
[09:47] <whazilla> nouser
[09:47] <whazilla> nogroup
[09:47] <tomek_> I've got the problem installing ubuntu on G3 iMac - I get kernel panic when starting
[09:48] <billybob> whazilla: are you saying you did, or didnt ?
[09:48] <Poseiden> miniman: any love?
[09:48] <whazilla> im saying i did itso no login is recquired
[09:48] <yommb> Hi , I have a question about aptitude !
[09:48] <miniman> nope
[09:48] <whazilla> so no ?
[09:48] <Poseiden> miniman: if not, try this: mount -o rw,remount,users,umask=0000 /dev/hda1 /home/sam/windows
[09:49] <yommb> I would like to set up a local folder as an apt-source ! Could anyone point me in the right direction, please !
[09:49] <frogzoo> Ian-C: never tried running an X app from cron, maybe setting 'export DISPLAY=:0.0" ?
[09:49] <billybob> whazilla: ok, so you also enabled guest account for Samba ?
[09:49] <whazilla> billybob must u see my public smb.conf ?
[09:49] <whazilla> cuz it aint guest
[09:49] <billybob> pastie yes :)
[09:49] <whazilla> its nouser, nogroup
[09:50] <whazilla> wher do i find that file again ?
[09:50] <billybob> !paste
[09:50] <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)
[09:50] <Poseiden> yommb: deb file:/<path>/<to>/<repository>/
[09:50] <dougb> is anyone in here using feisty?
[09:50] <Poseiden> dougb: sometimes
[09:50] <dougb> how is it?
[09:50] <dougb> i'm installing it right now
[09:50] <whazilla> i mean the smb.conf ... wher is it located again ?
[09:50] <yommb> Poseidon : that's it ?
[09:50] <oggy> the nvidia script on wiki does that work for a beryl install It worked before but now its not working
[09:50] <Poseiden> dougb: I've enjoyed it on my laptop.
[09:50] <yommb> wow
[09:51] <tomek_> is there anyone with some Mac knowledge?
[09:51] <billybob> '/etc/samba/smb.conf'
[09:51] <whazilla> thkx
[09:51] <oggy> i mean does it have the correct repositories
[09:51] <dougb> Poseiden: i was reading on ubuntuforums that for the most part, it's very stable
[09:51] <Poseiden> yommb: more or less.  Put that in your sources.list, along with a list of the stuff living in there.
[09:51] <yommb> ok ; thx !
[09:51] <Poseiden> dougb: I didn't have any _stability_ trouble.  The problems I had are related to lack of hardware support, for which Ubuntu can't be blamed (stupid D-Link).
[09:52] <Poseiden> yommb: np.
[09:52] <dougb> ahh i see
[09:52] <whazilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5379/
[09:52] <dougb> does ndiswrapper come by default?
[09:52] <oggy> well im gonna try the script again
[09:52] <oggy> for the twentieth time
[09:52] <dougb> i know it's using the 2.6.20 kernel, so i wasn't sure if they compiled it
[09:52] <Ian--C> I'm back again - in an IRC client with which I'm more comfortable
[09:52] <Poseiden> dougb: You know, I don't know the answer to that.  I think so, but I'm not sure.
[09:53] <dougb> as long as it has linux headers, i can compile it myself
[09:53] <billybob> whazilla: what are you trying to achieve here?
[09:53] <billybob> whazilla: specifics
[09:53] <Poseiden> dougb: I'm going to guess that it has it, because the install really aims to be as universally useful as it can.
[09:53] <whazilla> public dump and public public dirs
[09:53] <billybob> be specific
[09:53] <billybob> you want anonymous access ?
[09:53] <dougb> Poseiden: distrowatch says the snapshot(herd 3) comes with 1.3
[09:53] <dougb> works for me :)
[09:53] <whazilla> dump == working write acces thats okey
[09:53] <whazilla> public == only newer files are accesible
[09:54] <whazilla> the ones i put ther via usb arent accesiable over network
[09:54] <whazilla> acces denied
[09:54] <Poseiden> dougb: So there's that.  Does your card work under ndisdriver?
[09:54] <fiberchunks> anyone in here have the problem with the installer not recognizing the cdrom drive after the kernel loads?  If so, any solutions (besides usb boot, netboot, changing cables, etc)
[09:54] <pihus> Is there a way to disable the animation that is shown when one runs an application from the dock?
[09:54] <dougb> it does
[09:54] <fiberchunks> i.e. is there a way to load modules in ubuntu at boot time?
[09:54] <dougb> i'm stuck with a broadcom :( but thankfully it works with ndiswrapper
[09:55] <Poseiden> dougb: I heart my broadcom.  But it isn't wireless, so there's that.
[09:55] <billybob> whazilla: why specificaly did you choose the user and group 'nobody/nogroup' ?
[09:55] <whazilla> yes it works with nogroup nouser ... so anonymous
[09:55] <whazilla> cuz that was from a tut
[09:55] <whazilla> for anonymous
[09:55] <Poseiden> dougb: Funky stuff, though.  I have an Intel ipw2200.  It'll work just fine... but wpa_supplicant in feisty will *not* run on the card.
[09:56] <Poseiden> dougb: And, unfortunately, my cardbus alternative is this D-Link pre-N thingy that has no support whatsoever.
[09:56] <Ian--C> So as I said, if I run the script from a terminal Gnomeradio starts, and the next line does the record.  If I run it as a cronjob, the radio doesn't start, but the record still works.  Any suggestions?
[09:56] <billybob> whazilla: wll you need to do somethign different, i beleive that locks down access to that share to nobody, and no group
[09:56] <Poseiden> Ian--C: Cronjob is running as the same user?
[09:56] <dougb> Poseiden: have you tried the ndiswrapper? i know not many people are fond of using it, since you need windows drivers, but it works
[09:56] <billybob> whazilla: i take it your box already has an admin user ?
[09:56] <Poseiden> dougb: Frankly, I was far too lazy.  I may yet give it a shot.
[09:56] <whazilla> so chown -R nouser:nogroup /home/public ?
[09:57] <whazilla> im admin ?
[09:57] <billybob> whazilla: you dont want to do that
[09:57] <LinTux> is it worth running any anti virus at all as I need to scan email only
[09:57] <whazilla> no ? k
[09:57] <lolman> I always hated ndiswrapper, luckily I have an ethernet connection on my Linux box now
[09:57] <dougb> Poseiden: it's worth it.  It's actually faster to install the drivers in ubuntu with it than it is under windows lol
[09:57] <billybob> whazilla: the user you made when you installed
[09:57] <billybob> whazilla: dont say it, thats the admin
[09:57] <dougb> i hate networkmanager with a passion though, i can't believe that gnome is sticking with that
[09:57] <Poseiden> LinTux: Are you sending the email to windows users?
[09:58] <billybob> whazilla: here is what you can do, you can make a new user group, and add your admin user to that group
[09:58] <Poseiden> dougb: networkmanager doth stinketh.  ifupdown works a treat.
[09:58] <youkilldkennedy> Network manager won't let me configure my connections... anyone suggest a better alternative?
[09:58] <LinTux> Poseidon: unfortunately YES at times
[09:58] <dougb> youkilldkennedy: wifi-radar is great
[09:58] <yommb> Lintux : considering the heaps of spam & virusses these days , I'd take a safe bet if you mail a lot
[09:58] <Poseiden> LinTux: you won't pay much, in the way of decreased performance, and it's a nice gesture.
[09:59] <LinTux> any recommendations then
[09:59] <billybob> whazilla: then you add the user to samba via smbpasswd
[09:59] <Schnickfitzel> i like bananas
[09:59] <Poseiden> LinTux: clamav is free, which is nice.
[09:59] <Schnickfitzel> :)))))))))))))
[09:59] <yommb> yes , we choose NOT to infect our windoze brethren :)
[09:59] <LinTux> Poseiden: Cheers m8
[09:59] <billybob> whazilla: then you chown -R root:usergroup /home/directory
[09:59] <Ian--C> I believe so  "crontab -l" in a terminal as that user lists that job, so that means it is for that user, right?
[09:59] <Poseiden> LinTux: cheers then.
[09:59] <yommb> clamav mb , thought it didnt do RAR3 when i last used it
[10:00] <billybob> whazilla: then chmod directory accordingly
[10:00] <Schnickfitzel> will i get muscles if i eat many bananas?
[10:00] <Poseiden> Ian--C: Yup.
[10:00] <billybob> whazill: still with me ?
[10:00] <Poseiden> Ian--C: Do you get any email sent to that user?  It's possible that there is an error, and the output of stderr is getting mailed.
[10:01] <whazilla> billybob thats a no can do as my anonymous accces will be lost
[10:01] <yommb> lol fitzel
[10:01] <billybob> whazilla: anyhoo, want me to pastie a quick fix ?
[10:01] <whazilla> but thkx anywayz
[10:01] <whazilla> if u wish ;)
[10:01] <dougb> NetworkManager seriously needs to have DNS and Static IP support
[10:01] <billybob> whazilla: then you use guest ok = yes
[10:02] <billybob> and setup anonymous acess under global
[10:02] <billybob> i stil lthink anonymous access isnt a good idea, but hey, whatever you want :)
[10:02] <Poseiden> dougb: and a new stylist.  That outfit is a disaster!
[10:03] <yommb> almost as bad as share acces :)
[10:03] <dougb> yeah it is pretty bad
[10:04] <dougb> i just don't get how gnome could overlook the little fact that it doesn't support customization that probably more than half of it's users need
[10:04] <Poseiden> I wonder if wap/wifi is the only thing b0rkn on my lappie install.  I should get that working and look around a bit.  Oh!  I know - ACPI is not working perfectly.
[10:04] <ardchoille> dougb: Such as?
[10:04] <dougb> DNS and static IP support
[10:05] <Ian--C> I had it set with the No Output option set, so no email would be sent, right?  And to be honest, I don't know where I'd even check for that email on the same system.  Nothing in the system logs though
[10:05] <dougb> i have to connect to windows domains at work, but at home its all dynamic
[10:05] <youkilldkennedy> wap/wifi refuses to work for me...
[10:05] <Poseiden> dougb: There are a number of excellent reasons that I pitch gnome out the window.  That didn't make the list, but it does now.
[10:05] <dougb> I honestly like the default gnome network manager.  you can set up profiles, do static IP's, DNS and tons of other stuff
[10:05] <Poseiden> Ian--C: Okay.  It probably wouldn't hit the logs, but no worries.  Find a pastebin and show me exactly what the cronjob is doing.
[10:05] <ardchoille> dougb: I've installed gnome on 11 machines in this house and I have never need to do more than open firefox and start surfing.
[10:05] <ardchoille> The network is always auto configured
[10:06] <dougb> ardchoille: you are lucky lol
[10:06] <Poseiden> ardchoille: wired network connections?
[10:06] <Ian--C> Script is:
[10:06] <rammsteined> whats xfce like?
[10:06] <Poseiden> rammsteined: very simple.
[10:06] <dougb> xfce is awesome
[10:06] <ardchoille> dougb: Well, I build my own computers, never buy one off the shelf, so I put in the components I want. that may be the difference.
[10:06] <Poseiden> rammsteined: elegant, event.
[10:06] <ardchoille> Poseiden: Yes
[10:06] <Poseiden> s/event/even/
[10:07] <rammsteined> can it be customized much?
[10:07] <whazilla> billybob:  i thank u for ur scares that they might hack me or leech from me ... but i don really care atm cuz the share is acces denied when clickin on a file atm
[10:07] <whazilla> its a really strange setup
[10:07] <Poseiden> ardchoille: Mmm... it has a lot of success with wired networks/DHCP.  Other arrangements can be more difficult to configure.
[10:07] <dougb> ardchoille: the components of the computer has nothing to do with how the networking is set up.  it's that the network is configured to need a static IP and all of the extra stuff
[10:07] <Poseiden> rammsteined: yup.
[10:07] <rammsteined> cool
[10:07] <ardchoille> Poseiden: dougb: ah, ok, that explains it.
[10:08] <Ian--C> Script is:
[10:08] <dougb> yeah
[10:08] <billybob> whazilla: try this -> http://www.phptr.com/articles/article.asp?p=328802&rl=1
[10:08] <Poseiden> Ian--C: that is the shortest script in history.  How can you tell it isn't working?
[10:08] <dougb> if i knew I was going to disown Windows a few months after purchasing a new laptop, I would have bought one that was....a little more linux friendly
[10:08] <BigToe> How do I partition a disk so I can install windows? I already have an ubuntu CD to fix GRUB when windows installs...
[10:08] <mojo> wow my freenode server just went to lonch 4 a minute there
[10:09] <youkilldkennedy> dougb/poseiden: Perhaps either of you could help me. I set up my wireless network, and to do so I had to strip any WEP or WPA, however, the network never remains for long, it goes on and off. Any ideas?
[10:09] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: Are you converting to Ubuntu from another OS?
[10:09] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Yes, Windows XP ::shudder::
[10:10] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: Did your wireless performance vary quite a bit under XP, or was it always very stable?
[10:10] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Stable as a rock.
[10:10] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: What is the wireless card?
[10:10] <clearzen> How do you change the top and bottom images for the cube in beryl??
[10:10] <Ian--C> Sorry - thought I had a multi-line edit box enabled - but I didn't - working on a cut and paste
[10:11] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: My Router is right next to me, acctually. Intel 9435ABG
[10:11] <Poseiden> Ian--C: cheers
[10:11] <ben16s> Hi
[10:11] <ben16s> Anyone can help me with an ubuntu server problem
[10:11] <ben16s> with ssh and x11 forwarding
[10:11] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: The connecting and disconnecting is almost rhythmatic.
[10:11] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: I seem to remember that the 9435ABG is a "win-wifi" card.  It needs firmware to be supplied.  I believe there is an ubuntu package that does this.  Do you know if you have that package installed?
[10:11] <whazilla> thkx billybob
[10:12] <clearzen> ben16s:If it is a server install it won't have X11
[10:12] <mojo> i quit??
[10:12] <mojo> lol
[10:12] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: I doubt that I do. I tried once, but never got very far...
[10:12] <Poseiden> mojo: looked like it from here.
[10:12] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: that might be part of the problem.
[10:13] <ben16s> clearzen : ssh and putty x11 forwarding can't work on an ubuntu server??
[10:13] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Do you know where a repository that installs it for me can be found? Or is there 'no cigar' in that department?
[10:13] <clearzen> ben16s: Well a true server install won't have the xorg packages for a desktop
[10:14] <clearzen> ben16s: Servers don't use x11 because there is not a gui
[10:14] <billybob> mojo: hey, how could i get all files with a certain extension on a single HDD, and put them into one folder ?
[10:14] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: I believe it is in any default repository.  I believe the package is called something clever, like firmware-ipw3945ABG or somesuch.
[10:14] <entotre> I have a AMD Turion 64 cpu, should I download the amd64 dvd ?
[10:14] <clearzen> ben16s: But you can always add it with something like
[10:14] <clearzen> aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[10:14] <billybob> mojo: me thinks perhaps a script is needed but .  ..
[10:15] <Poseiden> billybob: find / -name \*.<extension> -exec mv \{\} /my/new/folder/ \;
[10:15] <Poseiden> billybob: it'll be a bit slow.
[10:15] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Very clever indeed.
[10:15] <ben16s> clearzen : yes but on my windows machine i've got Xming
[10:15] <billybob> Poseiden: what about overwrites ?
[10:15] <Ian--C> Script is:
[10:15] <Ian--C> #!/sh/bin
[10:15] <Ian--C> # Record Radio Word of the Day
[10:15] <Ian--C> gnomeradio
[10:15] <Ian--C> arecord -f cd 100 -t raw | lame -x - WorkWord-'date +%Y_%m_%d-%H:%M'.mp3
[10:15] <clearzen> ben16s: It wasts resources to run a gui on a server though
[10:15] <Poseiden> billybob: it's just going to execute 'mv', so it won't generally clobber.  You can force it to, if you like.
[10:16] <ben16s> clearzen : that's why i want to esxport it
[10:16] <clearzen> ben16s: Use nomachine instead of putty for X11 forwarding
[10:16] <billybob> Poseiden: ok more specifically, how about retaining directory structure ?
[10:16] <BigToe> How do I partition a disk so I can install windows? I already have an ubuntu CD to fix GRUB when windows installs...
[10:16] <clearzen> ben16s: It has always worked better for me anyway
[10:16] <Poseiden> billybob: mmm... bit tougher.
[10:16] <ben16s> clearzen : ok i will try
[10:16] <mojo> yeah.. the find command is a good place to start
[10:16] <billybob> Poseiden: yeah a few lines of code me thinks
[10:17] <billybob> Poseiden: however, since im backing up anotehr drive,  and both still have the importatn files, il give you method a try, and see how i like it :)
[10:17] <ben16s> clearzen : because with ssh i've got the error message : can't open display
[10:17] <ben16s> clearzen : when i launch an xclock app for example
[10:17] <clearzen> ben16s:http://www.nomachine.com/
[10:18] <Poseiden> billybob: I use something like that to, for instance, grab all of the iTunes downloads from user directories and move them into my central iTunes repository.
[10:18] <oggy> haha cool
[10:18] <oggy> beryl
[10:18] <DV8TioN> HOw easily are USB digital cameras and memory sticks used in Ubuntu?
[10:18] <oggy> I just peeled back a window
[10:18] <clearzen> ben16s: http://www.nomachine.com/download.php    for the download page
[10:18] <dougb> DV8TioN: they are detected instantly
[10:18] <oggy> thought i would never see that in windows
[10:18] <oggy> haha
[10:19] <Poseiden> billybob: I actually have a slightly slicker perlscript somewhere that does what you want - finds files with the particular extension and then recreates the directory structure under the target directory.
[10:19] <dougb> oggy: welcome to the good life :)
[10:19] <oggy> i just peeled back a window
[10:19] <Schnickfitzel> good joke
[10:19] <oggy> incredible
[10:19] <DV8TioN> dougb.... Thank you... I ordered my online CDs last week, and the waiting is killing me!
[10:19] <ben16s> clearzen : it's for nx server??
[10:19] <Poseiden> Ian--C: I'm afraid I know slightly less than nothing about those commands.  What does gnomeradio do?
[10:19] <Schnickfitzel> theres ot even ie for ubuntu
[10:20] <mojo> oggy: slick, no?
[10:20] <Poseiden> billybob: well, "slick" isn't quite right.  It's slow and cumbersome.  But it works.
[10:20] <oggy> it is awsome
[10:20] <clearzen> ben16s: no it is a client/server program for remote administration including x11, sound, and video forwarding
[10:20] <dougb> Poseiden: i've actually seen no decrease in performance while running beryl and aiglx
[10:20] <oggy> ive seen the cube desktop in action
[10:20] <billybob> Poseiden: well, lol it wouldnt matter if i went to sleep while it ran ;)
[10:21] <billybob> Poseiden: thanks for the one liner btw
[10:21] <oggy> but peeling back of the window
[10:21] <ben16s> clearzen : so it can work with an ubuntu srver even if X server is not installed on it
[10:21] <Ian--C> With a BT878 based TV tuner card in the system, it lets you use that as a radio tuner
[10:21] <BigToe> How do I use qtparted to resize my main partition?
[10:21] <Poseiden> dougb: I think you wanted to aim that elsewhere.
[10:21] <billybob> regex*
[10:21] <frogzoo> BigToe: use gparted, point & click
[10:21] <BigToe> it won't let me
[10:21] <billybob> only, because, i dont understand it fully
[10:21] <mojo> oggy... what you hold down to make the peel work?
[10:21] <frogzoo> BigToe: oh, for /, you'll need to boot of a live cd
[10:21] <BigToe> and the window it like 3x wider than my screen
[10:21] <Poseiden> billybob: lemme see if I can find my lil Perl gem.  If not, I'll write it again. :P
[10:21] <BigToe> oh
[10:21] <BigToe> ok
[10:21] <clearzen> ben16s: Yes. It is not limited to X11 forwarding.
[10:21] <BigToe> thanks
[10:21] <DV8TioN> billybob... is that reex before marriage?  hehehe
[10:21] <Poseiden> billybob: Oh, I know.  I've got it......
[10:21] <dougb> woops, i thought you were talking about beryl Poseiden haha
[10:22] <billybob> lol
[10:22] <billybob> regex :P
[10:22] <oggy> right click button hold it down then grab the corner of the window and drag it backwards
[10:22] <billybob> as in regular expression ;)
[10:22] <clearzen>  ben16s: Check out the documentation it should tell you how to do what you want with it
[10:22] <Poseiden> dougb: :)
[10:22] <ben16s> clearzen : ok i'll try, thanks
[10:22] <Poseiden> billybob: Where's the pastebin?
[10:22] <dougb> i can't wait to get back to ubuntu
[10:22] <Pie-rate> is there any way to change my cpu fan speed from ubuntu?
[10:23] <billybob> !paste
[10:23] <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)
[10:23] <billybob> :)
[10:23] <dougb> foresightlinux is nice, but ubuntu is definatly unbeatable in my eyes
[10:23] <triceratops> My Edgy plays an endless loop of the gdm login sound and the gdmgreater login sound when a user logs in. Till now I always have to kill aplay and esd to stop this. Any idea how to solve this?
[10:23] <Schnickfitzel> debian is unbeatably
[10:23] <darweth> dougb: unbeatable for what?
[10:23] <dougb> ease of use for linux
[10:23] <oggy> sheeeh incredible , its a good day hehe
[10:23] <darweth> ah.  i would almost agree there.
[10:24] <dougb> and help through the community
[10:24] <oggy> now if I can only get macromedia flash working in firefox
[10:24] <oggy> hehe
[10:24] <oggy> =)
[10:24] <dougb> suse has a nice ease of use to it, but i believe that it's the community that stands out
[10:24] <darweth> but the other options i would use are based on ubuntu, so i guess they do not count.
[10:24] <Poseiden> billybob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5381/
[10:24] <darweth> i plan on graduating to something else someday though.
[10:25] <dougb> darweth: if you like getting your hands dirty with an up and coming package system, foresightlinux is nice
[10:25] <Poseiden> billybob: You'll have to muck about a bit with it.  Obviously this is storing a bunch of information you don't need, etc.  You can just stuff the hierarchy into a hash.
[10:25] <Ian--C> Oggy - I got that working yesterday - just follow the instructions on the Adobe Flash download page (Adobe bought Macromedia)
[10:25] <darweth> ah.  i was looking at mainly zenwalk, arch, gentoo, or sourcemage.
[10:25] <billybob> Poseiden: thanks, i take it i need to chnge the drive params ?
[10:25] <chris____> darweth: if you really want to get dirty, go with Gentoo
[10:25] <Poseiden> Ian--C: so gnomeradio is the only part that doesn't work?  The second line fires?
[10:25] <dougb> well i'm done
[10:25] <DV8TioN> Toodeloos all
[10:25] <dougb> time to go put on feisty herd 3
[10:25] <oggy> eh the problem is Ian-c , is that im running 64bit Ubuntu
[10:25] <oggy> :(
[10:26] <Poseiden> billybob: erm... well, you'll see. ;)  This is for a pretty specific task.
[10:26] <oggy> and adobe hasnt made a 64bit plugin for firefox
[10:26] <dougb> oggy: automatix2...but you didn't hear it from me ;-)
[10:26] <Ian--C> Poseiden - Correct - the record to MP3 line works perfectly - Gnomeradio starts when I run the script in the terminal, but not as a cronjob
[10:27] <Poseiden> billybob: Easiest thing to do is make it recursive.
[10:27] <oggy> hmm lets see
[10:27] <oggy> automatix2
[10:27] <Poseiden> Ian--C: I'm guessing that gnomeradio is something that requires X.  The reason it is dying is because the cron process doesn't know what X display to use.
[10:27] <billybob> Poseiden: i saw that :P anyhow, perhaps i could rewrite, and offer you a 'universal method' i have no perl experience, but using this im sure i could use my programing experience to make somethign :)
[10:27] <Ian--C> Oggy - Sorry then - I'm no help
[10:28] <Poseiden> billybob: Oh, it's not too tough.  Lemme see if I can hack something together really quick.
[10:28] <billybob> Poseiden: for example, id ditch those while loops with a for each loop
[10:28] <oggy> Ian-C yes you are helpful
[10:28] <billybob> for each loops*
[10:28] <oggy> =)
[10:28] <oggy> thanks
[10:30] <Ian--C> Poseiden - that makes sence - it does display a GUI when it is run.  Is there a way to specify in the script (or to cron) what X window to run in?
[10:30] <xopher> oggy, if it's flashplayer you want for firefox, search the forums for nspluginwrapper, it works great for me
[10:30] <oggy>  hmm
[10:31] <Poseiden> Ian--C: yes, but it can't possibly be a general solution.  The X display will change from time to time, but the cron script will run whenever it feels the triggering event.
[10:31] <lolman> Right, bit of help needed...I've just installed Ubuntu onto a software RAID array (/dev/md0) and neither GRUB nor LILO will install
[10:31] <Cin> hey, after ugprading to edgy, I've got loads of python- packages that are held back. do I need some new edgy sources for them?
[10:31] <oggy> thanks xopher
[10:31] <fiberchunks> are people still having to use 32 bit swiftfox to get plugins working right on 64 bit platform?
[10:32] <xopher> fiberchunks, well that, and nspluginwrapper. There's no real fix yet. Only workarounds
[10:32] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Sadly, installing the firmware (I could not even find one specifically for the 9435 only earlier models) did not help.
[10:32] <Tieden> actually no, but I know why. It's just a typo I made I think. I'll try to fix it and try again
[10:32] <billybob> Poseiden: eventually, i was wanting to write a script, to take pictures, and sort them into directories, by date taken, thats going to be a minor project . . .
[10:33] <billybob> Poseiden: id have to get a certain meta data lib, and learn how to use it
[10:34] <fiberchunks> xopher, thanks
[10:34] <youkilldkennedy> ::sigh::
[10:35] <TuxCrafte1> pci=routeirq what is the function of this boot option
[10:35] <oggy> brb
[10:36] <arnducky> Can anyone tell me where to find the MD5 checksums for the new Edgy *DVD* ISOs  (they don't appear to be on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes )
[10:36] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: Then I've got nothing.  Sorry.
[10:37] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Thanks for your help.
[10:37] <arnducky> huh, everyone knows 'They' killed Kenn(ed)y
[10:38] <youkilldkennedy> Nuh-uh.
[10:38] <billybob> well, atleast everyone knows they killed kenny . . .
[10:38] <Schnickfitzel> the power of loooooove
[10:38] <youkilldkennedy> Aye, it was a AIM screenname...
[10:38] <youkilldkennedy> But many years ago it was too many letters.. so I dropped the 'e' :P
[10:39] <enyc> I have a  Urrm
[10:39] <enyc> I have question...
[10:40] <enyc> Haw do I disable automounting in ubuntu-dapper of ieee1394 device ?
[10:40] <TuxCrafte1> pci=routeirq what is the function of this boot option
[10:40] <enyc> I cant see any mention of pmount.disallow or anything
[10:40] <billybob> Poseiden: with this perl script, i only need to change the extension ?
[10:40] <enyc> im not sure how to switch this off neatly... or is it best to change gnome settings somewhere? etc.
[10:40] <Poseiden> billybob: umm... hold on just a sec.
[10:41] <eternalswd> I'm having a really strange problem.  I can't ls my /media directory, it hangs.  I can cd to any directory and there and ls those, but not /media Any ideas?
[10:41] <enyc> TuxCrafte1: I think that tells linux to setup the PCI-PIC irq routing itself... incase the BIOS has broken it or something...
[10:41] <ardchoille> !apache
[10:41] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[10:41] <TuxCrafte1> enyc and what does that mean
[10:41] <jhaig> eternalswd: Do you have any NFS mounts in /media?
[10:42] <Schnickfitzel> Whatcha gonna do with all that junk  All that junk inside that trunk..... My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump  My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump
[10:42] <enyc> TuxCrafte1: its basically telling linux to do something with the hardware... it might be needed on some machine s with some pci cards in some slots with some bios versions...  a problem-workaround i think..
[10:42] <eternalswd> jhaig, no, but I had sshfs.  It seemed to stop after that
[10:42] <Poseiden> billybob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5383/
[10:42] <enyc> TuxCrafte1: its not normally specified but it can be used to fix problem on some machines
[10:42] <Poseiden> billybob: completely untested, no idea if it will work, etc. etc. etc. #use <std_disclaimer.php>
[10:43] <TuxCrafte1> enyc: where can i find more info (trying to debug my system)
[10:43] <jhaig> eternalswd: Is sshfs a remote file syste?
[10:43] <Poseiden> billybob: FYI - I'm a lawyer, not a hacker, and I haven't Perl'd in years.  So use at your own risk.
[10:43] <oggy> k I have automatix2 installed but how is this going to get flash working in firefox
[10:43] <Captain_Redbeard> I'm having a fairly common issue it seems, whenever I use TV-out to display the desktop on my TV all I get is a Black & white picture, that is with SVIDEO, with Composite however, it shows nothing, just all black. does anyone know any solution to this?
[10:43] <oggy> i mean im in a 64bit
[10:43] <billybob> Poseiden: would just mean  me having to recopy the files
[10:43] <billybob> Poseiden: ok, usage ?
[10:43] <eternalswd> jhaig, yes, it mounts a connection to a directory on an ssh server
[10:44] <Poseiden> billybob: oh no.  It could mean much more than that. :P
[10:44] <billybob> Poseiden: ./perlscript <params> ?
[10:44] <mhiku> how do i extract iso without mounting it?
[10:44] <jhaig> eternalswd: Has that server been shut down?  I have had a similar problem with nfs and it was due to a server being down.
[10:44] <Poseiden> billybob: umm... cut and paste that into a file.  Make the file executable.  Edit the file and change a couple of things to make them more... hold on, I'll make it a bit more configurable.
[10:44] <youkilldkennedy> Captain_Redbeard: My S-Video to Composite won't even work :-(
[10:45] <Captain_Redbeard> youkilldkennedy: :/ So do you have any solution to this?
[10:45] <eternalswd> jhaig, no, I had unmounted it while the machine was still on.
[10:45] <jhaig> eternalswd: What does 'mount' say?  Does it say it is still mounted?
[10:45] <tuxcrafter> !debug
[10:45] <ubotu> For help debugging your program, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
[10:45] <oggy> am i looking to install swiftbox
[10:46] <oggy> ?
[10:46] <oggy> for flash
[10:46] <youkilldkennedy> Captain_Redbeard: I wish.
[10:46] <eternalswd> jhaig, no
[10:47] <jhaig> eternalswd: Well, I don't know.  The only reason I can think that it is hanging is that it still thinks that it is mounted.
[10:47] <Zaggynl> How do I stop the beeping when tabcompleting in a console, it's driving me nuts D:
[10:47] <billybob> Poseiden: yeah, well, im adventurous, if i have to reinstall, i have to reinstall . . . but fro what i can tell here, i shouldnt have much to worry about
[10:47] <fiberchunks> turn off the bell in one of the menus Zaggynl
[10:48] <billybob> ;)
[10:48] <fiberchunks> and then save that progile
[10:48] <fiberchunks> *profile
[10:48] <Zaggynl> fiberchunks, ehh, do you happen to know it the CLI way?
[10:48] <Poseiden> billybob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5384/
[10:48] <fiberchunks> ah, read that wrong, thought you meant _k_onsole :)
[10:49] <Poseiden> billybob: Okay.  *now* copy that into a file, make the file executable, and:
[10:49] <simmerz> why does the vnc module for xorg not render the entire screen? it shows most of it, but some text and icons are missing...
[10:49] <Poseiden> billybob: ./script.pl <extension> <starting_directory> <backup_directory>
[10:49] <jhaig> eternalswd: I have something you could try, but it is to force unmounting a network partition.
[10:50] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: It's actually readline that is beeping.  Turn it off either globally or locally.
[10:50] <billybob> Poseiden: okie, much thanks
[10:50] <billybob> Poseiden: ill be the guinepig ;)
[10:50] <eternalswd> jhaig, thanks, I think I'll just reboot first and see what happens.
[10:50] <billybob> lol
[10:50] <oggy> well im guessing I have to isntall the swiftbox browser
[10:50] <Zaggynl> Poseiden, ah thanks
[10:51] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: the variable is bell-style.  I find setting it to "visible" is best.
[10:51] <oggy> anything I should Install from automatix
[10:51] <oggy> ?
[10:51] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: Ah, I'm tired.  Sorry.  The file you want is your inputrc.
[10:51] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: global is in /etc/, local is in userdir (if memory serves).
[10:52] <BigToe> How do I get qtparted on live CD?
[10:52] <noel_> greetings folks.
[10:52] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: note that this will _not_ help the bell in, for instance, vi.  Only at the command line.
[10:52] <billybob> Poseiden: extention requires no wildcard ie *.jpg ?
[10:52] <Zaggynl> Poseiden, okay, thanks
[10:53] <Poseiden> billybob: right.  Just the extension.  ./blerp "jpg" "/" "/backup/"
[10:53] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: np.
[10:53] <noel_> whan i download ubuntu 6.10 the server says 690 megs, but it arrives as 715 megs. Why is this??
[10:53] <Zaggynl> Poseiden, I removed the comment before 'set bell-style visible', but it still beeps :o
[10:53] <BigToe> how do I get qtparted on this live CD?
[10:53] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: you'll have to log out and back in.
[10:54] <Zaggynl> ah okay
[10:54] <posingaspopular> BigToe: its not sudo apt-get install qtparted?
[10:54] <Poseiden> Zaggynl: readline only processes the inputrc when it is started, which only happens when the shell is renewed.
[10:54] <BigToe> posingaspopular: I thought it could be that, but thought it may be different for live CD
[10:54] <BigToe> :S
[10:54] <BigToe> thanks
[10:54] <noel_> whan i download ubuntu 6.10 the server says 690 megs, but it arrives as 715 megs. Why is this??
[10:54] <posingaspopular> np
[10:54] <posingaspopular> i duno im just guessing
[10:55] <BigToe> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdelibs/kdelibs-data_3.5.2-0ubuntu18.1_all.deb  404 Not Found
[10:55] <Poseiden> noel_: grazing.  The bytes sometimes graze on their way from the server to your machine.  When they do, they get fat.
[10:55] <posingaspopular> hmm
[10:55] <posingaspopular> try using adept
[10:55] <Poseiden> noel_: you're lucky the size difference was so small.  Often they gain 50 megs or more!
[10:55] <BigToe> lol Poseiden
[10:56] <zyth> noel_, depends how efficient your filesystem is.
[10:56] <zyth> noel_, just check the md5sum if you're concerned
[10:56] <Poseiden> noel_: If I had to guess, I would guess that there were some interruptions, and that the iso didn't download properly.  That's just a guess - if you pay for bandwidth, I would go ahead and try burning it just in case.
[10:57] <posingaspopular> by that i mean add/remove
[10:57] <noel_> I expect the file sizes to be the same. Is my reasoning correct?
[10:57] <Poseiden> noel_: typically they should be the same, yes.
[10:57] <mfmf> urgh, I just installed some updates w/o checking, now my vmware wont start...
[10:58] <noel_> I have burnt it twice, and both downloads are corrupt.
[10:58] <fredl> I'm trying to run acpitool but it says Seems like this system lacks ACPI support or else /proc/acpi....
[10:58] <Ian--C> Poseiden - So I guess my best bet - at least for now is to just leave the radio application running all the time, and just let the cron job do the recording the four times of the day it's needed
[10:58] <Poseiden> noel_: what a pain.  That's no good.  Where are you getting it from?
[10:58] <billybob> Poseiden: hmm no workie
[10:58] <noel_> both iinet and university of wa
[10:58] <Poseiden> Ian--C: that sounds like a good option.  Why do you need the radio application?  What does it add?  Or are you recording from it?
[10:58] <Ian--C> It would have been nice to be able to just start it as needed, and kill it when done
[10:58] <Poseiden> noel_: broadband?
[10:59] <Poseiden> billybob: err?
[10:59] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Can you point me in the right direction for getting WPA to work?
[10:59] <noel_> yes broadband
[10:59] <billybob> Poseiden
[10:59] <billybob> ./fcp.pl "jpg" "/home/movies/" "/home/movies/test/
[10:59] <billybob> > q
[10:59] <Poseiden> youkilldkennedy: not really.  It barfs for me all the time.  The program is wpa_supplicant, but best of luck.
[10:59] <fredl> When I try to modprobe acpi, it says: FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[10:59] <BigToe> qtparted and adept won't install on this live cd. :(
[11:00] <Poseiden> noel_: I don't know what to tell you.  Something screwy is going on.  Oh!  I have a thought - what are you using to d/l it?
[11:00] <billybob> crtl + C to break out of the interpreter
[11:00] <posingaspopular> BigToe: no just go to add/remove on the menu
[11:00] <posingaspopular> or whatever its called
[11:00] <Poseiden> billybob: close your quotes.
[11:00] <billybob> yikes
[11:00] <billybob> duh . . .
[11:00] <fredl> dmesg says: acpi_cpufreq: Unknown symbol cpu_online_map
[11:00] <youkilldkennedy> Poseiden: Thanks, I'll tinker with it.
[11:00] <fredl> so does this mean I can't use ACPI on my PC?
[11:01] <noel_> tried two windows applications, both from tucows.
[11:01] <ben16s> Is anyone can help me with an ubuntu server version???
[11:01] <billybob> hmmm
[11:01] <ben16s> Does i have to install an X server to use the X11 forwarding in ssh
[11:01] <billybob> bash: ./fcp.pl: perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory <-- me thinks perhaps !#/bin/perl
[11:01] <ben16s> ??
[11:01] <Ian--C> Local radio station has one of those loialty points schemes, with extra points for special "Words of the day" at four times daily.  Roommate is really into it - but not always at the radio when the words happen.  So set up cron to record - and I thought the radio app was better than streaming flash player - so I could use the net bandwidth for other stuff
[11:02] <Poseiden> billybob: often /usr/bin/
[11:03] <Poseiden> Ian--C: I see.  I wonder if there is a CLI radio program.  That would be the way to do it.
[11:03] <Ian--C> Poseiden - CLI?  I assume Command Line Interface?
[11:03] <Poseiden> Ian--C: Sorry.  Yes.
[11:04] <ArtVandalae> Hi, where does Ubuntu download its deb files to?
[11:04] <posingaspopular> !deb
[11:04] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)
[11:04] <frogzoo> ArtVandalae: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[11:05] <ArtVandalae> frogzoo, thanks
[11:05] <oggy> ah swiftfox lubs me long time
[11:05] <oggy> yes
[11:05] <billybob> Poseiden: can i PM ?
[11:06] <noel_> poseiden, I shall try a third download tonight.
[11:06] <zyth> noel_, download a torrent, they errorcheck as they dl
[11:06] <Poseiden> billybob: sure
[11:07] <Poseiden> noel_: Did you d/l via ftp?
[11:07] <kraut> moin
[11:07] <Poseiden> billybob: the problem is the bad prototype for the subs?  I prototyped them like C.  That's wrong.  Should be sub findExtension { (ie - no parens)
[11:08] <Poseiden> noel_: my crazy thought is that they didn't download as binary files.
[11:08] <billybob> Poseiden: im not following you
[11:09] <billybob> Poseiden: im only a hobbyist programmer, and perl isnt a language that i know
[11:09] <Poseiden> billybob: twice in the file there are lines that begin with the word sub.  One of them looks like: sub findExtension() {.  It should be, instead, sub findExtension {.  That is, you should take the parens out.
[11:10] <cafuego_> billybob: only one person on the plant knows perl.
[11:11] <cafuego_> planet, too
[11:13] <frogzoo> cafuego_: actually that's the perl cabal, I mean, design team
[11:13] <cafuego_> frogzoo: You're implying more than one of them "know" perl.
[11:13] <frogzoo> cafuego_: I'm even prepared to go on the record to that effect
[11:14] <Poseiden> billybob: doh!  I thinko'd.
[11:14] <billybob> ?
[11:15] <billybob> man, perls error line reporting needs work lol
[11:15] <Poseiden> billybob: umm... problem number next, there should be a '$' in one of the regexs.
[11:15] <billybob> this was confusing me because of the line its reporting the error on is in fact no where near the actual error
[11:16] <billybob> Poseiden: where at specifically ?
[11:17] <Poseiden> billybob: Umm... hold on, I think I found all the myriad bugs. :)
[11:17] <pdaX> what's the best way to uninstall X, gnome, etc on a machine which used to be a desktop but which is now a headless server.. obviously I'd want to remove all the X-only software too
[11:18] <tuxvix>  Hello I need help with my resolution?
 I have ViewSonic VX2025wm
 I can't get my 1680x1050 resolution working by default.
 the xorg.conf file looks ok but its not working ....
[11:18] <Poseiden> billybob: HRM!  For some reason it isn't recursing more than one level.
[11:18] <tuxvix> I have Intel 82810E DC-133 CGC video card on iPAQ mini box
[11:18] <zyth> anyone know how I can convert an mp4 /w subs to divx and keep the subs?
[11:18] <billybob> Poseiden: so sub fonctors in perl only need be enclosed in curly braces, no parens ?
[11:18] <billybob> functors*
[11:18] <frogzoo> Poseiden: sub findExtension() {      is legit perl these day
[11:19] <tuxvix> any one?
[11:19] <posingaspopular> tuxvix: hmm
[11:20] <Poseiden> frogzoo: it's legal, but it's an incorrect prototype.  Not enough variables (I'm passing everything in @_ and shifting it off).
[11:20] <posingaspopular> there's a resolution thing around here somewhere
[11:20] <posingaspopular> !resolution
[11:20] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:20] <frogzoo> Poseiden: sub findExtension(@) {      then
[11:20] <dougb> Poseiden: i'm on feisty herd 3 right now :)
[11:20] <Poseiden> frogzoo: Or sub findExtension(@,$,$), which would be more accurate.  Or just delete it. :)
[11:21] <Poseiden> dougb: Nice!  Everything's working?  wifi?
[11:21] <frogzoo> Poseiden: sure
[11:22] <Poseiden> frogzoo: I'm too tired.  Maybe you can look at this and see why it isn't recursing deeply enough.  Or, better yet, think of a more efficient way to do what it does.
[11:22] <tuxvix> posingaspopular, what?
[11:22] <billybob> Poseiden: 'we're' only one loop deep.
[11:22] <billybob> ie ther is onl yone loop
[11:22] <pdaX> how can I uninstall everything in the ubuntu-desktop metapackage?
[11:22] <Poseiden> frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5386/
[11:22] <posingaspopular> tuxvix: did you try searching http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:22] <dougb> yup everything is working.  The ndiswrapper that came with Ubuntu didn't work, so I had to compile it from source, but wasn't that big of a deal
[11:23] <Poseiden> dougb: that's interesting.  What didn't work about it?
[11:23] <Poseiden> billybob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5386/  <-- more betterer version.
[11:23] <dougb> i'm not sure.  it wouldn't recognize it
[11:23] <Poseiden> dougb: weird.
[11:23] <dougb> i had that problem in edgy too
[11:23] <dougb> it's a small annoyance
[11:24] <Poseiden> dougb: for you.  For someone that expects the distribution to "just work" the way "humans do," it would be very bad.
[11:24] <dougb> very true
[11:25] <tuxvix> posingaspopular, i think so
[11:25] <dougb> but compared to my experiences with other distros, it works a quicker :-P
[11:25] <Poseiden> dougb: heh.
[11:25] <tuxvix> posingaspopular, yes
[11:25] <billybob> Okay, found nothing in /home/movies/
[11:25] <billybob> lol
[11:25] <billybob> i guess that means there is nothing in the root directory
[11:25] <billybob> ;)
[11:25] <tuxvix> I have Intel 82810E DC-133 CGC i think its i810
[11:26] <tuxvix> but the default resolution is 1280x1024.
[11:26] <tuxvix> and I can't make it 1680x1050@60
[11:26] <posingaspopular> hmmm
[11:26] <dougb> the system seems much zippier than edgy
[11:26] <posingaspopular> honestly, i have no idea
[11:26] <posingaspopular> maybe ubuntu forums has something
[11:26] <tuxvix> any one have the same problem?
[11:27] <Poseiden> billybob: I need to hack on this a bit.
[11:27] <tuxvix> I've tried everything allready.
[11:27] <tuxvix> looks like my video card does not support more then 1280x1024 =(
[11:27] <tuxvix> Oh, well
[11:28] <billybob> Poseiden: yeah, its not finding files even in the root directory
[11:30] <stonekeeper> hi all. Does anyone know if it's possible to have something like active desktop on ubuntu? Maybe a fullscreen html widget? thanks!
[11:30] <Bonhomme> anyone here know much about ipsec using racoon?
[11:30] <Poseiden> billybob: Ah.  Okay, fixed the recursion.
[11:31] <unop> tuxvix, is it a fairly recent video card? is the monitor capable of higher resolutions?
[11:31] <Bonhomme> I am seeing an obscure error that gets only 3 hits in google, all of which are just the ipsec-tools source code
[11:31] <billybob> Poseiden: you really dont have to go through all this trouble, seriously, unless you're having fun of course :)
[11:31] <posingaspopular> stonekeeper: what are trying to do exactly
[11:32] <billybob> Poseiden: i do program, just dont know perl, probably wouldnt take me but a day or two to figure it out.
[11:33] <billybob> Poseiden: eventually, im probably going to write a perl script, that sorts pictures by meta data date taken, and puts them in a directory, named by dates etc
[11:34] <billybob> Poseiden: we sell puppies here, needless to say, i take lots of pictures etc, i just thought it would be cool to do that :)
[11:34] <Bonhomme> billybob: you know of course that there are a lot of programs out there already that do exactly what you just described?
[11:34] <unop> billybob,  to sort pictures by a particular date?
[11:35] <LazyAngel> my bios has an option about booting up the machine from the network. does anyone know how you do that from another linux machine?
[11:35] <billybob> unop: to take a picture, gets its date takenn meta data, creak a directory named after that date, and put pictures in it wit hthat meta data date
[11:35] <billybob> create*
[11:36] <billybob> what i mean by date taken meta data, is the actual date the picture was taken, not just the file last modified date
[11:36] <Zaggynl> Anyone knows howto get the gnome-power-manager in the slit of fluxbox?
[11:36] <billybob> Bonhomme: yeah, well, if you know of such a script, a link would be much appriciated ;)
[11:37] <stonekeeper> posingaspopular: I'm trying to load an interactive webpage onto my desktop background
[11:37] <unop> billybob,  well, what kind of pictures?
[11:37] <billybob> Bonhomme: otheriwse, im a hobbyist programer, probably wold keep me busy for a few days.
[11:37] <Bonhomme> billybob: google picasa?
[11:37] <mneptok> billybob: ImageMagick
[11:37] <unop> billybob,  jpeg? png? etc?
[11:38] <billybob> mneptok: afaik imagemagik is a library, no ?
[11:38] <posingaspopular> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[11:38] <billybob> unop: based on param <extension>
[11:38] <posingaspopular> that sounds really cool
[11:38] <posingaspopular> but ive never heard of that being donw
[11:38] <posingaspopular> done
[11:38] <posingaspopular> duno if its possible
[11:38] <posingaspopular> or where to get info on that
[11:38] <billybob> it IS possible
[11:39] <mneptok> billybob: you said you were a hobbyist programmer ....
[11:39] <Bonhomme> billybob: ah ok, picasa is released by google
[11:39] <unop> billybob,  sure .. but each format has it's own way of storing metadata .. so you'll need different routines for each extension
[11:39] <billybob> mneptok: yes, but why reinvent the whel ?
[11:39] <Bonhomme> I think they bought the IP from some company
[11:39] <mneptok> billybob: huh?
[11:39] <Ian--C> Poseiden: Thank for your help - you gave me some ideas of an approach to try.
[11:40] <billybob> mneptok:yes, but WHY reinvent the wheel
[11:40] <mneptok> billybob: i don't know what that means in this context
[11:40] <billybob> mneptok: in other words, if ther is already an application out there, why go through all the trouble ?
[11:41] <billybob> especially if it is free :)
[11:41] <Poseiden> Ian--C: np.
[11:41] <Ian--C> Bye all
[11:41] <Poseiden> billybob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5387/  <--- pretty much works.
[11:41] <mneptok> billybob: you want to manipulate images. IM is a stack designed to allow developers to easily manipulate images.
[11:41] <Poseiden> billybob: Anyhow, I assume it does.
[11:41] <mneptok> billybob: and IM is free.
[11:42] <billybob> :P
[11:42] <Poseiden> billybob: there is a package called 'exif' that contains a command-line utility to read the exif info from images.
[11:42] <billybob> Poseiden: yeah
[11:42] <billybob> i bookmarked all that before, i just havent gotten around to it
[11:42] <billybob> im pretty busy :/
[11:42] <Poseiden> billybob: it should be easy to turn that into what you want with a little bit of perl.
[11:43] <billybob> yeah
[11:43] <Poseiden> billybob: Anyhow, the backup script should mostly work now.  And I must sleep.  Enjoy.
[11:43] <billybob> Poseiden: someone i know who knows perl very well, said it could be done in like 30 lines of code
[11:43] <billybob> Poseiden: thanks !
[11:43] <Poseiden> billybob: cheers.
[11:46] <stonekeeper> any ideas on my website desktop question?
[11:46] <chrismhampson> hi
[11:46] <chrismhampson> Ive installed compiz-nvidia as in the ubuntuguide but I have no cube or wobbly effects on reboot. Any ideas_
[11:47] <chrismhampson> hmm my keyboard layout looks wrong too
[11:47] <stonekeeper> lol
[11:47] <billybob> heheh it worked sort of, backedup al the directories, but no files
[11:47] <soundray> chrismhampson: you must have missed the bit about $HOME/.gnomerc -- please ask about compiz in #ubuntu-effects
[11:48] <chrismhampson> soundray, thanks
[11:49] <unop> billybob,  there's a perl script (2nd reply) here that could do with little modification for your job - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051114073155729
[11:49] <billybob> unop: thanks
[11:49] <zyth> anyone know how I can convert an mp4 /w subs to divx and keep the subs?
[11:50] <billybob> unop: you know, this is one area Linux definately excells in
[11:50] <unop> billybob,  but perl transcends an OS's capability in this area -- and perl can be used pretty much universally
[11:50] <unop> :)
[11:50] <SoulChild> HEY ALL, there is a symbol missing in my XFCE Menu, where to config please ?
[11:51] <billybob> yeah, i know what its capable of, even though i dont know how to code using it yet
[11:51] <billybob> unop: its not like the dark side couldnt be made to do this either, but with a little more difficulty.
[11:52] <SoulChild> guys nobody can solve my problem ? :(
[11:52] <adrigen> anyone: whenever I use an audio application (beyond an mp3/cd player) i get a message saying that no audio device could be found, where should I go to start looking for support?
[11:53] <billybob> SoulChild: *what* problem ?
[11:53] <unop> billybob,  well, perl's using exif there, so the real magic is done by exif and i'm sure there are other bindings for exif, bash, python, applescript, php, etc .. i think you could pick a language a you're comfortable with and try it out
[11:53] <adrigen> (cant find anything... which is strange... though I havent had probs with drivers before)
[11:53] <posingaspopular> adrigen: more specifically?
[11:53] <posingaspopular> an audio player?
[11:53] <posingaspopular> like... amarok? kaffeine
[11:54] <billybob> unop: well perl just makes it easier, and the fact that Linux makes using perl easy isnt bad either
[11:54] <SoulChild> billybob: there is a symbol missing in my XFCE Menu, whre to change?
[11:54] <posingaspopular> adrigen: you're looking for a program to play your files?
[11:55] <joe_schmo> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/faac/libfaac0_1.24clean-0ubuntu4_i386.deb  MD5Sum mismatch
[11:55] <unop> billybob,  perl wasnt written for/on linux :)
[11:55] <billybob> unop: however, using the dark side + .NET (.net would be the easiest method i think), ther would still have to be a lib import, and no doubt LOTS of hackering . . .
[11:55] <joe_schmo> I get this error when I try to get mplayer ...
[11:55] <joe_schmo> ^^
[11:55] <billybob> unop: unix ? . . .
[11:56] <billybob> SoulChild: not familiar, but it sounds like a rather broad question
[11:56] <posingaspopular> yea i think thats an issue with the repos, but im not sure
[11:56] <unop> billybob,  yep, but the niche larry wall wrote perl for is platform independant .. perl works universally, unix, linux, win32, novell, mac os, dos ,etc
[11:56] <billybob> SoulChild: i take it you're trying to compile something ?
[11:57] <adrigen> posingaspopular: midisequencers, mp3 mixers, drum machines have problems with finding audio hardware...
[11:57] <billybob> unop: the difference is, Linux NEEDS perl, atleast in the case of "debian" and is already integrated :)
[11:57] <SoulChild> billybob... ??? HMMM no ... i installed Lyx and i can't see the symbol in my Menu
[11:57] <posingaspopular> oh okay i get it
[11:57] <billybob> SoulChild: ooooh, sorry . . .
[11:57] <posingaspopular> hmm
[11:57] <posingaspopular> have you update anythign recently?
[11:57] <SoulChild> billybob, problem solved
[11:57] <SoulChild> billybob, thank you
[11:57] <billybob> SoulChild: have you your locales setup properly ?
[11:58] <billybob> err, okay . . .
[11:58] <unop> billybob,  errm, linux doesnt need perl .. the userland might do too, but thats only if the tools are perl dependant
[11:58] <unop> s/too/tho/
[11:58] <billybob> unop: ever tried to install debian, or ubuntu without perl ?
[11:59] <unop> billybob,  but debian encompasses linux .. it is not just linux, it's linux and the userland
[11:59] <billybob> unop: im nto saying it isnt possible, just so happen i think the install scripts currently require it
[12:00] <stonekeeper> lol! use the deksotp wall in beryl then Super+wheel mouse!
[12:00] <stonekeeper> trippy!
[12:00] <billybob> unop: now , granted, im not linux expert, nor do i claim to be, just that ive experienced an install that the perl packages were currupted, and the install faield because of it
[12:00] <johns^> stonekeeper: zoom?
[12:00] <stonekeeper> yeah
[12:01] <johns^> I use it for a client who previously used a 3th party zoom
[12:01] <johns^> about 1000 $ :)
[12:01] <johns^> madness
[12:02] <fluidite> #cvf
[12:02] <unop> billybob, bahh, naturally .. but thats a problem with package dependencies in the user space part of debian .. nothing to do with linux really
[12:03] <stonekeeper> johns^: but it zooms each wall segment
[12:03] <billybob> unop: yeah, im sure someone could come up with a python install script, nd use it instread, or perhaps even ASM if they so chose
[12:03] <johns^> stonekeeper: so?
[12:04] <unop> billybob,  exactly, now you get my drift :)
[12:05] <billybob> unop: hmm cool link, i thik ill bookmark that for future refference
[12:05] <billybob> unop: you notice the last, 'smarta$$' remark ?
[12:06] <unop> billybob,  the one about ASM? :>
[12:06] <billybob> 'It's easier than this - no applescript required. . . .'
[12:06] <billybob> no on that EXIF page you linked me to
[12:07] <Yodude> hey i just installed banshee music player
[12:07] <unop> billybob,  ohh, on the page -- heh, yea, well for that particular person and the job he wanted, it seems that is the easiest way :)
[12:07] <billybob> someone is obviously dependant on X ;)
[12:07] <Yodude> but i need an AAC pugin
[12:07] <Yodude> and a MP# one
[12:07] <mydivbot> hi guys i have problem with playing streaming videos
[12:07] <Yodude> MP3*
[12:07] <billybob> Yodude: i take it you've googled ?
[12:07] <Yodude> i searched synaptic for AAC and MP3 and i downloaded some gstreamer plugins
[12:08] <Yodude> no i haven't gooled
[12:08] <Yodude> googled*
[12:08] <elementz> hi everybody
[12:08] <Yodude> but i still can't play my AAC's
[12:08] <elementz> i am trying to move all jpg files from a dir and its subdirs to a newdir - can somebody help with that?
[12:08] <billybob> Yodude: would probably be a good place to start, if i knew personally, id let you know hwoever, but obvioulsy i dont
[12:08] <Yodude> thnkx anyway
[12:08] <billybob> google that is
[12:08] <unop> Yodude,  install the !w32codecs and mplayer-codecs
[12:08] <elementz> already tried:  can somebody tell me what is wrong with this line?: 'find wget -name '*.jpg' -exec mv {} /home/wget/000/{} \;'
[12:08] <elementz> anybody?
[12:08] <Yodude> does anyone here know where i can AAC and MP3 support
[12:09] <Yodude> i'm using banshee though
[12:09] <Onore_e_Gloria> hi
[12:09] <soundray> elementz: you need to protect the braces: '{}'
[12:09] <unop> elementz,  you dont need the second {} too
[12:09] <elementz> kk let me try
[12:09] <posingaspopular> !banshee
[12:09] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs

[12:10] <soundray> elementz: it's generally better to feed find output to mv via xargs
[12:10] <elementz> soundray, how would i do that?
[12:10] <burito> how do I remove the mounted partitions from my desktop?
[12:10] <mydivbot> !codecs

[12:10] <Onore_e_Gloria> sorry....it's possible to remove the splash screen in the boot ?
[12:11] <unop> soundray,  except that xargs is likely to die if the number of args exceeds what it can handle
[12:11] <Yodude> unop: hey can you give me the name of the packages please?
[12:11] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know of a fix for not being able to start X after the recent kernel upgrade with nvidia driver?
[12:11] <unop> !w32codecs | Yodude
[12:11] <ubotu> Yodude: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[12:11] <soundray> elementz: 'find wget -name \*.jpg -print0 | xargs -i -0 mv '{}' /home/wget/000/'
[12:11] <Onore_e_Gloria> i want only the "text" line  in the boot
[12:11] <Ian-C> I guess posiden left?   Just wanted to thank him - followed his suggestion and found a way that worked
[12:11] <ante_> can somedoby tell me how to put some files into win rar ?
[12:12] <soundray> unop: no, it is designed to only use the maximum number of args possible per invocation.
[12:12] <elementz> thx soundray, let me try
[12:12] <unop> soundray,  nooo, if he has 10,000 pictures there xargs will choke
[12:12] <zoli2k> is there a channel separate for Ubuntu server?
[12:12] <Onore_e_Gloria> sorry....it's possible to remove the splash screen in the boot ?
[12:12] <coNP> zoli2k: yep, #ubuntu-server
[12:12] <F-nkyMNK> Hello to my fellow Ubuntians!
[12:13] <zoli2k> thanx
[12:13] <Yodude> hey i seached synaptic for w32codecs
[12:13] <Yodude> but i didn't find anything
[12:13] <jrib> !w32codecs | Yodude
[12:13] <ubotu> Yodude: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[12:13] <ante_> can somedoby tell me how to put some files into win rar ?
[12:14] <coNP> ante_: you mean creating a rar archive that can be later opened by winrar?
[12:14] <unop> soundray,  find's exec is better there it just performs that action on each file it enounters, xargs on the other hand tries to compile a command containing the list of files and there's a definite limit to how many args xargs can take (some 2048, i think)
[12:14] <Yodude> jrib: didn't find it
[12:14] <Onore_e_Gloria> it's possible to remove the splash screen in the boot ?
[12:14] <unop> Yodude,  did you add !seveas's repostory? did you read the instructions there?
[12:15] <ante_> cpNP: yeah, i need make winn rar and put in it some mp3 so i can put it on rapid share
[12:15] <Yodude> oh no wait
[12:15] <cake> hey guys, im having a weird problem. i installed latest nvidia ( on latest kernel -11) and now the gfxcard outputs signals on the wrong interface
[12:15] <Yodude> sorry my bad
[12:15] <cake> anyone had that before?
[12:15] <soundray> unop: find's exec will invoke mv once for each argument. xargs will automatically invoke several mv's if and only if the maximum args number is exceeded.
[12:15] <superkirbyartist> I am looking for Ubuntu music store.
[12:15] <carlhume> Can anyone give me a hand setting up nVidia dual-head in 6.10?
[12:15] <posingaspopular> !ubuntu music
[12:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu music - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:15] <Onore_e_Gloria> it's possible to remove the splash screen in the boot ?
[12:15] <cake> it outputs signals on the hdmi interface while the monitor is connected on the dvi..
[12:16] <posingaspopular> Onore_e_Gloria: yes, but i dont know how
[12:16] <coNP> Onore_e_Gloria: yep
[12:16] <Onore_e_Gloria> how can i do?
[12:16] <coNP> Onore_e_Gloria: you should edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[12:16] <carlhume> Onore_e_Gloria, if you edit your grub - /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:16] <carlhume> Onore_e_Gloria, Remove the quiet splash options next to the kernel you're booting
[12:16] <elementz> soundray, unop, ok -> done it via xargs now -> is there a way to rename files that are already there? eg foo.jpg already in newdir, so i rename it to foo1.jpg ?
[12:16] <superkirbyartist> Anyone knows about Linux music stores?
[12:17] <Onore_e_Gloria> thanks
[12:17] <Onore_e_Gloria> thank you very much
[12:17] <posingaspopular> superkirbyartist: is there one?
[12:17] <posingaspopular> i havent heard of such a thing
[12:17] <elementz> soundray, unop, i mean before moving it to newdir
[12:17] <ante_> coNP: ....
[12:17] <Ian-C> Ante_ - There is a RAR for linux - see http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/70521-linux-rar-command-list.html
[12:17] <coNP> ante_: sorry?
[12:18] <ante_> Ian-C: what after that
[12:18] <superkirbyartist> posingaspopular: Mindawn has barely any songs.  I'm looking for something like Lapster or Rhapsody.
[12:18] <zoli2k> Hi, can anybody highlight the main differences between ubuntu server and debian?
[12:18] <cntb> \o PriceChild
[12:19] <unop> elementz,  i think you need to start a script there
[12:19] <cntb> PriceChild: PM?
[12:19] <Ian-C> It points you to two different Linux programs for handling RAR - one by the WinRar people - one not
[12:19] <elementz> unop, ok thx
[12:19] <carlhume> cake, Just noticed your nVidia question - are you running dual-head?
[12:19] <Raging_Hog> Can I install Ubuntu on a 96mb RAM machine? I intend to switch to fluxbox immediately
[12:19] <billybob> zoli2k: functionality, they are basically the same
[12:20] <cake> carlhume: no, not at the moment
[12:20] <ante_> coNP i was talking to u about rar
[12:20] <cake> i was gonna take the box down to the "tv room" after finishing the config
[12:20] <posingaspopular> Raging_Hog: yea, but do xubuntu
[12:20] <soundray> Raging_Hog: yes, you can install the server edition from the alternate CD.
[12:20] <carlhume> cake, ah, thx - I'm trying to debug my own nVidia problems - I've got it working with ATI, but not nvidia
[12:20] <cake> but since screen went dead i thought hey maybe its just outputting on the wrong interface and that was the problem indeed
[12:20] <posingaspopular> its below the suggest limit, but it should work
[12:20] <carlhume> cake, Nice - Myth?
[12:20] <soundray> Raging_Hog: yeah, xubuntu is another option
[12:20] <Ian-C> Raging_Hog - You could try Puppy Linux - it is very small and would run on that size of machine
[12:20] <cake> carlhume: that was the plan
[12:20] <cake> :)
[12:21] <coNP> sorry, ante_, did you get the proper answer
[12:21] <carlhume> :)
[12:21] <cake> i dont have any network down there yet so cant finish the config if i have to use the projector as a monitor
[12:21] <cake> hehe
[12:21] <Ian-C> Not quite as much available in the way of programs - but an OK distro to start with
[12:21] <cake> kinda weird
[12:21] <Raging_Hog> Ian-C, it's going to a person who does't know practically anything about computers. I trust ubuntu to be the safest choice
[12:21] <cake> maybe u should just go out and buy a hdmi<->dvi connector thingy
[12:22] <Raging_Hog> posingaspopular: I lost all the menus with Xubuntu once, don't really trust it. I got them back but she might not who is going to get the system
[12:22] <ante_> coNP no
[12:22] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know of a fix for not being able to start X after the recent kernel upgrade with nvidia driver?
[12:22] <coNP> ante_: could you install rar (enable multiverse repos and install package rar)?
[12:23] <posingaspopular> Raging_Hog: but you're going to install another distro right after aren't you. its up to you.
[12:23] <cntb> KenSentMe: this is normal
[12:23] <Ian-C> Take a look at Puppy - Fred Langa (of the LangaList) swears by it.  And with it's Live CD you can actuall install suff and have a home directory on a Windows machine without makeing a Linux partition
[12:23] <KenSentMe> cntb: explain
[12:23] <pbureau> Morning to all
[12:24] <billybob> Ian-C: you can do that also with edgy
[12:24] <billybob> dapper too maybe
[12:24] <Raging_Hog> Ian-C: I've played around a bit with puppy. I'd rather give her something that atleast I know well
[12:24] <cntb> I am recently studying this and all situations when you are stuck with no X
[12:24] <cntb> KenSentMe: especially when I deliver a Pc to a client
[12:25] <pbureau> KennethP,  your previously installesd drivers are nvidia the update is looking at nv as drivers reconfigure the xserver.conf
[12:25] <KenSentMe> cntb: i know more people have the problem, but i was wondering if a fix is underway?
[12:25] <soundray> unop: just done a test case - are you interested?
[12:25] <billybob> http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ <---- there is a link to an executable that installs debian, and i think for edgy also, in a loop file
[12:25] <Ian-C> billybob - Ok - good to know - but definatly not obvious - not in the easy to find docs for a first time user - I never saw any mention that I could do that
[12:26] <billybob> ie: it can be run on a windows system
[12:26] <unop> soundray,  sure
[12:26] <soundray> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5390/
[12:26] <cntb> if nvidia is not legacy then : KenSentMe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:26] <Ian-C> So I took the plundge and installed on an old small hard drive
[12:26] <KenSentMe> cntb: i just used the nvidia-glx package, like said in the wiki
[12:27] <cntb>  KenSentMe i keeep saying that looks like a normal behaviour and is annoying but seems to be by design  KenSentMe
[12:27] <soundray> billybob: that's not exactly the same as setting up a permanent home inside a file on a Windows partition to support a live system
[12:27] <cntb> so after upgrade you reinstall nvidia oK? KenSentMe ?
[12:28] <KenSentMe> cntb: doesn't work
[12:28] <Ian-C> The Ubunto sister to "Goodbye-microsoft" is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe
[12:28] <soundray> cntb: are you aware of the recent packaging bugs affecting nvidia?
[12:28] <cntb> lan-c what goodbye ?
[12:29] <billybob> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:30] <yommb> join #vmware
[12:30] <cntb> soundray: no not aware the oher day installed some NVIDIA though on edgy
[12:30] <soundray> cntb: I guess this recent trouble is what bit KenSentMe, so it's probably no use pointing him to the wiki
[12:30] <zoli2k> Which version of ubuntu server you recommend? 6.10 or 6.06 LTS?
[12:31] <billybob> zoli2k: what are you requirements ?
[12:31] <coNP> zoli2k: for what purposes?
[12:31] <billybob> 6.10 has better I/O, if say you run a local Samba server or something, 6.06 is supposed to be rock solid
[12:32] <zoli2k> billybob, coNP: mediawiki, apache, mysql and shell account for students.
[12:32] <billybob> 6.06
[12:32] <soundray> zoli2k: 6.06
[12:32] <cntb> soundray: I say every kernel upgrade brings you back to graphics drivers install. true ?
[12:32] <coNP> 6.10 for mediawiki and apache and mysql / 6.06 for students
[12:32] <Ian-C> CNTB - Billybob saw my discussion of PuppyLinux's ability to have a home directory on a Windows machine and said that Ubuntu had a similar ability, sending me to www.goodbyemicrosoft.com (which is Debian Linux) - I looked there and found the link back to the Ubuntu equivalent
[12:33] <cntb> tyvm lan-c
[12:33] <billybob> Ian-C: yeah, i havent messed with ti, but ive read about it
[12:33] <arsentop> anyone any idea whats up with my network-manager?
[12:33] <arsentop> using edgy 6.10, cant seem to get it to actually load as it appears on the website#
[12:34] <billybob> Ian-C: its supposed to have some sort of loopback file functrionality, and using grub, fairly neat concept
[12:34] <zoli2k> coNP: mediwiki is my highest priority. 6.10 because there is a newest version of mediawiki?
[12:34] <soundray> cntb: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=357767
[12:34] <KenSentMe> cntb: a sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx didn't solve the problem
[12:35] <soundray> KenSentMe: there is a forum discussion about what I think is your problem: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=357767
[12:35] <cntb> lan-c http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ brings debian invitation to  install
[12:36] <billybob> cntb: click on the more info link
[12:36] <Ian-C> Well I guess since I took the plunge and used an old small hard drive I guess I don't need it any more.  But I have to admit if Ubuntu implemented a similar feature to Puppy (alowing a home directory and installed apps without making a linux partition) I bet there would be a lot more converts
[12:36] <zoli2k> I will use 6.06 LTS. Thank you for your help.
[12:36] <billybob> cntb: there is a ubuntu 'sister' link
[12:36] <KenSentMe> soundray: ok, thanks
[12:36] <cntb> billybob: give sister link again pls

[12:37] <Ian-C> The Ubunto sister to "Goodbye-microsoft" is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe
[12:37] <cntb> ok

[01:14] <unop> IdleOne,  can i ask why you are manually installing here? what's wrong with the repositories and apt-get/aptitude?
[01:14] <IdleOne> unop: virtualbox isnt in the repos
[01:14] <mandrill> svish: though your probably better off asking about the intricacies of IRC in an IRC help channel.
[01:14] <erUSUL> arphetic: you can not??
[01:14] <christof-kr> how do i remove the weather calendars from evolution? this is useless and clutters my contact categories

[01:16] <IdleOne> 10x = ten x = thanks
[01:16] <arphetic> no, mohtady, you joined in as a retard, I dont feel like helping you
[01:16] <erUSUL> mohtady: if you have question ask the channel (one at a time ;))
[01:16] <arphetic> Lol okey IdleOne xD
[01:17] <arphetic> Do not ask to ask, just ask ;)
[01:17] <IdleOne> arphetic: to many years on irc larning how not to type correctly I guess lol

[01:18] <arphetic> erUSUL, or anyone else, you have a solution to my problem as well? :P
[01:18] <unop> IdleOne,  do you have an existing virtual box installed there?
[01:19] <erUSUL> arphetic: which is?
[01:19] <arphetic> hold on scrolling up again:p
[01:19] <arphetic> Hiya, I'm running Ubuntu (with gnome) and I got this error on the right of my scream. It says Details and Hide. Though when I press Hide, it doesnt respons/go away, I just cant get the msg away... What can I do?
[01:19] <mandrill> svish: no worries, having a look at the channel list I can't see an IRC channel. which is odd. though If you ask around someone should be able to point you in the right direction.
[01:19] <arphetic> that one :)
[01:19] <adriansU> salve, c' qualche italiano che puo' dedicarmi qualche secondo che sono un novizio di linux?

[01:19] <mandrill> !IRC|mandrill
[01:19] <chris_> arphetic: what is the error?
[01:19] <IdleOne> unop: first attemtp at installing virtualboc
[01:19] <IdleOne> x
[01:20] <arphetic> The error is Disk read error blablabla some file, no such file or directory
[01:20] <arphetic> actually a quite random error, but the point is, I cant get it away
[01:20] <mohtady> everything is opend with Quanta ? why? every page I tryed to open
[01:20] <unop> IdleOne,  well its failing because a kernel module required by virtual box is not available -- and the webpage doesnt list any prerequisites
[01:20] <frogzoo> arphetic: check /var/log/messages for scsi timeouts
[01:21] <mohtady> everything is opend with Quanta ? why? every page I tryed to open
[01:21] <IdleOne> unop: LjL told me yesterday to install linux-headers-generic but when I try I get an error about virtualbox
[01:21] <unop> IdleOne, ok, lets see those errors then
[01:21] <erUSUL> arphetic: as frogzoo points out you will have to check log files to see the root of the error...
[01:21] <IdleOne> gimme a sec
[01:22] <mohtady> bye
[01:22] <arphetic> erUSUL, frogzoo hold on, checking the logfile
[01:22] <arphetic> Feb 12 09:36:57 localhost -- MARK --
[01:22] <erUSUL> unop: as i told IdleOne, a catch-22 situation caused by a bad builded deb package :(
[01:22] <arphetic> I think this is the one
[01:23] <IdleOne> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5394/
[01:23] <unop> erUSUL,  I'm not sure i follow you
[01:23] <unop> erUSUL,  come again
[01:23] <erUSUL> arphetic: and you do not know what app if any is causing the error or which files it reports missing
[01:24] <IdleOne> erUSUL: is saying Im stuck in a jam and hopes I dont need to reinstall ubuntu :/
[01:24] <arphetic> its missing a .pdf file
[01:24] <arphetic> well, I think I moved it on opening
[01:24] <arphetic> The programm opened, but I closed it, I cant press details btw
[01:24] <OrTigaS> hi just wondering why my partition drive shows "_png" supposed to be "hdb"
[01:25] <frogzoo> !enter | arphetic
[01:25] <ubotu> arphetic: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:25] <arphetic> Yeah sorry, automatism ;)
[01:25] <unop> IdleOne,  well, it definitely looks to me like virtualbox is registered as installed but definitely failed -- what does this return - dpkg -l | grep -i virtual
[01:26] <erUSUL> unop: he can not install virtualbox beacause he can not build the module, he can not build the module because he does not have linux-headers and bulid-essential he can not install those because he can not uninstall virtualbox which is blocking apt he can not uninstall virtualbox becouse he can not install it properly goto beginning
[01:26] <OrTigaS> hi just wondering why my partition drive shows "_png" supposed to be "hdb" on desktop
[01:26] <IdleOne> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5395/
[01:27] <markud> ok jestem
[01:27] <markud> gnome mam
[01:27] <markud> na awaryjnym teraz
[01:27] <unop> erUSUL, right ok, i get you now
[01:27] <IdleOne> erUSUL: I have build-essential
[01:28] <unop> IdleOne,  well, virtualbox has a botched install as you can see there --- try this - sudo aptitude purge virtualbox
[01:28] <Nanoer> hi
[01:28] <Bieleke> problem fixed with the build of elementtree
[01:28] <erUSUL> IdleOne: yes but you do not have linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[01:28] <arphetic> You guys dont know what I can do about it either?
[01:29] <Eons> hi, i'd like to monitor firefox http request
[01:29] <IdleOne> unop: virtualbox error again
[01:29] <Bieleke> when you do an install "python setup.py install" elementtree is automaticly installed for you.
[01:29] <Eons> how can i do that? i was told to use ettercap, but it seems to me an overkill
[01:29] <unop> IdleOne,  ok, run this command, and if it fails, show me the output of both -- sudo dpkg --purge virtualbox
[01:29] <joe_schmo> guys, I wasn't prompted to enter a root password when I installed ubuntu ? ... is that possible ?
[01:30] <unop> joe_schmo,  ubuntu doesnt use the root account (usually)
[01:30] <Eons> joe_schmo: you don't need root account
[01:30] <Eons> you have to use sudo
[01:30] <Eons> uhm
[01:30] <Eons> !sudo
[01:30] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:30] <IdleOne> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5396/
[01:30] <chris_> joe_schmo: if you want to create a root user password, just # sudo passwd
[01:30] <Bieleke> that's not what he asks :-)
[01:31] <erUSUL> Eons: well a sniffer is the natural choice... maybe you can set up a proxy that echoes the requests...
[01:31] <arphetic> Eons, you could use a FireFox plugin for that one
[01:31] <arnducky> chris that can &#@ with gksudo (Gnome and other GTK dependant stoff) and ksudo
[01:31] <joe_schmo> Eons: lol
[01:31] <chris_> joe_schmo: an yes, thats perfectly normal for the install, since it sets your user up as a sudo user during instal
[01:32] <arphetic> joe_schmo:  use the password you entered for your first user (I think)
[01:32] <arnducky> I recommend learning how sudoers works and carefully editing it if you're going to use a w00t password in Ubuntu
[01:32] <padnix> anybody know how the resume function in wget works?
[01:32] <erUSUL> padnix: you add a -c switch
[01:32] <arphetic> !wget
[01:32] <ubotu> wget: retrieves files from the web. In component main, is standard. Version 1.10.2-2ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 226 kB, installed size 1952 kB
[01:32] <Eons> arphetic: uhm, an extension migth work - or maybe i'll just switch to links =P
[01:32] <arnducky> !jigdo
[01:32] <ubotu> jigdo: GTK+ download manager (beta version). In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7.3-1 (edgy), package size 187 kB, installed size 440 kB
[01:33] <frogzoo> padnix: from timestamps, & the http headers
[01:33] <padnix> erUSUL; and then if my download fails, and i need to start over?
[01:33] <nutellol> but yesterday wget did't resume anything, only start from zero :(
[01:33] <padnix> erUSUL: same story, same file, same dir?
[01:33] <arphetic> links is ok too, but firefox is more practical I think
[01:33] <arnducky> BS  ubotu is wrong (or at least misleading) there!
[01:33] <erUSUL> padnix: that's when you use the -c switch
[01:33] <unop> IdleOne,  bahh, you cant have gotten into a worse circular-dependency problem -- I think you need to manually remove all the files in this package -- does this return anything -- dpkg -L virtualbox
[01:33] <padnix> erUSUL: muchos grazias
[01:33] <erUSUL> padnix: wget -c url (in the same dir)
[01:33] <arphetic> how can I change to desktop 2 3 or 4 using keyboard?
[01:33] <padnix> :-) thanx man
[01:33] <frogzoo> padnix: if the server doesn't support http 1.1, resume won't work
[01:34] <dammitman> how can obtain missing libraries?
[01:34] <OrTigaS> hi just wondering why my partition drive shows "_png" supposed to be "hdb5" on my desktop?
[01:34] <erUSUL> padnix: in spanish it's 'muchas gracias' (my native tongue)
[01:34] <IdleOne> unop: very long list of dir/files
[01:34] <nutellol> ok frogzoo ,but yesterday wget -c url add the entire file to the previus piesce
[01:34] <unop> arphetic,  ctrl+alt+<arrow_keys> .. i think you mean workspaces not desktops, right?
[01:34] <arphetic> dammitman: via apt-get (or synoptek/adapt)
[01:34] <nutellol> *piece
[01:34] <erUSUL> OrTigaS: it is a fat32 drive? maybe it labelled
[01:34] <joe_schmo> I need to resync the system clock on start up. Which start up file should I put my statement in ?
[01:34] <joe_schmo> echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
[01:35] <arphetic> Thanks, and yes I ment workspaces ;)
[01:35] <nutellol> and build a monster iso :(
[01:35] <dammitman> apt get? is that a terminal command
[01:35] <erUSUL> joe_schmo: /etc/init.d/rc.local
[01:35] <joe_schmo> k thanks
[01:35] <albacker> whats the latest ubuntu ?
[01:35] <erUSUL> joe_schmo: or it was /etc/rc.local  ??
[01:35] <IdleOne> albacker: 6.10
[01:35] <rinman> anyone: I have a fresh install and need a tool (GUI prefered) to set up my firewall, got any suggestions? the suggestions made in the "Firewall Configuration" part of the docs are programms that are not installed and that I can't find in aptiude...
[01:35] <chris_> arnducky: maybe he's not using Gnome or even KDE for that matter, I don't use any of that X crap on my Linux servers
[01:35] <erUSUL> albacker: 6.10 edgy
[01:36] <unop> IdleOne,   ok,  sudo sh -c "dpkg -L virtualbox | xargs rm -rf"
[01:36] <erUSUL> ubotu tell rinman about firewall | rinman see priv msg from ubotu
[01:36] <albacker> IdleOne, erUSUL what about festy or smth ?
[01:36] <OrTigaS> erUSUL:  yea its fat32
[01:36] <OrTigaS> but before its shows hdb5

[01:43] <Yodude> does anybody know any good sound equalizer?
[01:44] <arnducky> Where can I find checksums for the new DVD ISOs?
[01:44] <unop> Yodude,  i should imagine it's down to the individual sound application to control it's own equalizers
[01:44] <arphetic> Yodude: for a mediaplayer?
[01:44] <arnducky> the last one I burnt had 125 errors when I booted the verification app
[01:44] <OrTigaS> chris_:  i did not
[01:45] <Yodude> yes
[01:45] <Yodude> for banshee
[01:45] <Yodude> it doesn't have a built in equalizer and i need one for my sound system
[01:45] <OrTigaS> how to fix that error drive name?
[01:45] <Yodude> there isn't?
[01:46] <arphetic> But, what does Ubuntu have to do with that? I think you need a banshee plugin, or an other player (XMMS for example)
[01:46] <chris_> arnducky: http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu//6.06/MD5SUMS
[01:46] <unop> IdleOne,  you about?
[01:46] <arnducky> chris that's not a secure site though
[01:47] <arnducky> and I need checksums for Edgy not Dapper/LTS
[01:47] <tj239> is there an app that allows you to set for instance, number of colors  for the screensaver ?
[01:47] <CrummyGummy> Grrr, upgrading to edgy just borked my server. All of my custom scripts that start with #!/bin/sh stopped working.
[01:47] <unop> arnducky,  well, if the md5sum of your ISO matches the one from the site, you can be guaranteed it is legitimate
[01:47] <arnducky> do you know of an SSL site that has Edgy DVD checksums?
[01:47] <Yodude> i'm thinking of just running iTunes itself with Wine
[01:47] <chris_> arnducky: http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/ubuntu/edgy/MD5SUMS.gpg
[01:48] <Yodude> there is no media player on ANY platform that can compare to it
[01:48] <unop> arnducky,  SSL is only a secure transport -- an illegitimate site could use SSL, and that does not mean the info you get is legitimate
[01:48] <Lunar_Lamp> Yodude, I genuinely prefer amarok - if for no other reason than it has a "stop" button!
[01:49] <marinosi> hello..i want to know if there is any ppp frontend for gnome like kppp for kde.I just installed ubuntu..
[01:49] <chris_> arnducky: why the hell would you need a secure site for a md5 file?
[01:49] <padnix> my local sportsclub just asked me to install ubuntu on 6 of their desktops.. for web-use, such as surfing email and watching pR0n latenite... whats your guys opinion? should I?
[01:51] <phatrabbit> im glad this channel is here u guys are great
[01:51] <tj239> is there an app that allows you to set for instance, number of squares for the Cube Storm screensaver ?
[01:51] <padnix> I'll take that as a no
[01:51] <phatrabbit> thanks for the help
[01:51] <arnducky> well, SSL also provides non-repudiation and a .crl checking facility through the referee CA, so unless it's  a self-signed cert any malware can be definitely traced back to the source.  This leads me to believe server admins -- who don't want the  hassles involved, will not allow just any Joe student to upload malware or substitutionary checksums for malware wherever it may be distributed from.
[01:51] <chris_> OrTigaS: Is this actually creating some kind of issue for you?
[01:51] <marinosi> hello..i want to know if there is any ppp frontend for gnome like kppp for kde.I just installed ubuntu..
[01:52] <Hobbsee> Anti-Tedd: there you go
[01:52] <Anti-Tedd> Horray for Hobbsee!
[01:52] <tj239> is there an app that allows you to set for instance, the photo directory for the F Spot screensaver ?
[01:52] <Anti-Tedd> Now I won't take your kidney to sell on the black market.
[01:52] <Hobbsee> Anti-Tedd: good.  you couldnt anyway
[01:52] <arnducky> chris_: this is also the position of the ubuntu.com on the matter
[01:52] <Anti-Tedd> Somebody beat me to it?
[01:52] <chris_> arnducky: that makes no sense whatso-ever.. maybe you should unplug from the internet if your so paranoid
[01:53] <OrTigaS> "_PNG"  <---this is what it shows on my other partition that supposed to be "hdb5"
[01:53] <OrTigaS> its a FAT32
[01:53] <unop> arnducky,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto
[01:53] <OrTigaS> do i need to reformat the partition drive?
[01:53] <OrTigaS> to correct that error?
[01:54] <tj239> is there an app that allows you to set for instance, the background from pink to midnight blue for the Fuzzy Flakes screensaver ?
[01:54] <chris_> OrTigaS: I couldnt say without knowing more about the problem
[01:54] <OrTigaS> chris_:  it just happen when i open my PC
[01:55] <OrTigaS> i dont know why its happen like that
[01:55] <chris_> OrTigaS: so, what exactly is this drive thats got the wrong name, more info on what the problem is here is actually needed
[01:55] <OrTigaS> the only thing i did is transfer some movie files
[01:56] <Arjuna> I'm having problems getting the torrent for edubuntu live dvd
[01:56] <OrTigaS> just wondering why my partition drive shows "_PNG" supposed to be "hdb5"
[01:56] <Arjuna> the tracker keeps dropping me
[01:56] <chris_> Arjuna: why not just use the normal download then
[01:57] <Arjuna> anbody know if this is a temporary problem with the tracker, or should I' quit and go somewhere else for a copy?
[01:57] <unop> arnducky,  i know what you are saying about SSL and the issue about the source of software .. but you're interested in GPG here not SSL, the way gpg works, if you can verify that the key belongs to the right party, you shouldnt mind where you got the key from
[01:57] <Arjuna> normal download... html "save to disk" you mean?
[01:58] <arnducky> chris_ please don't get personal -- your ignorance is showing.  I just had corrupted ISO's from two different sites so, just to avoid corrupt software I want appropriate checksums.  If you don't agree keep it to yourself because what I said is exactly  what the Official Ubuntu documentation recomends -- getting a checksum from a clean source.   Or have you forgotten that there a great many people out there who (for one reason or anot
[01:59] <Arjuna> Alright, I was kinda hoping I simply had connected to a tracker that was dying, and someone would tell me the good track to connect to.
[01:59] <Arjuna> Oh, well 2 days wasted.
[01:59] <arnducky> unop: keyserver?
[02:00] <chris_> arnducky: your asking me to not get personal, then you call me ignorant in the next breath..?
[02:00] <fredl> wow, big words here :)
[02:00] <unop> arnducky, gpg handles that automatically -- i think it's one of the mit.edu/pgp.net ones
[02:00] <arnducky> unop I thought the gpg keys came with the DVD or CD and since everything I have is downloaded (and failing MD5 checksum comparisons) I don't know what to do.
[02:01] <michaelpo> !libdvd
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libdvd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <Arjuna> [sigh]  2 days wasted
[02:01] <hdibani> hi everybody, i am running Feisty on my laptop, yesterday i have updated my x11 and now it crashes on me whenever i start something with 3d. the xorg.log file does not contain any errors and i did not see any core files. does anybody know how  where else i should be looking?
[02:01] <unop> arnducky,  yea, a pgp signature and the person's/party's public key is provided with the CD, you then verify that the PGP signature belongs to the person who claims to have signed it using his public key -- the link i gave you has the procedure
[02:01] <arnducky> unop, what's the key field so I can query the keyserver?    I *am* getting corrupt software -- maybe it's just transmission errors, but it still is a problem that needs to be solved.
[02:02] <erUSUL> hdibani: ask in #ubuntu+1 for feisty problems, thanks
[02:02] <hdibani> erUSUL: thanks
[02:02] <Tedd_> Can somebody tell me why, while upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10 my speed fluxuates so much?
[02:02] <arnducky> unop, are all packages on an Ubuntu CD individually signed with the official Ubuntu key?
[02:02] <erUSUL> Tedd_: download speed?
[02:03] <Tedd_> It'll go from 75k/s to 5746/s to 22.5k/s to 303k/s.
[02:03] <unop> arnducky,  yes
[02:03] <Tedd_> erUSUL, yep
[02:03] <pbureau> michaelpo, try libdvdcss
[02:03] <tomtas> Can anyone give me some pointers upon choosing a laptop ?
[02:03] <Tedd_> Like right now it's on "2 Days 9 Hours" and it'll go to "32 Minutes" and then "3 Hours" and so on
[02:03] <Tedd_> It's on a wireless laptop if that could be the issues
[02:03] <unop> arnducky,  well, i dunno if they all signed using the same key -- but whoever has signed packages in the CD definitely belongs to ubuntu, you can verify that too
[02:03] <frogzoo> Tedd_: cos you're sharing server hdd b/w with everyone else
[02:04] <ahanix0258793146> can anyone tell me why "deb" command does not work in ubuntu........i mean it is debian based, no?
[02:04] <chris_> arnducky: if your frustrated I understand, but I offered help to you an responded about it not being a secure site, if your worried the MD5 file will not have the correct checksum by some malicious act, then a secure site will not change that fact at all.. what you want is more like gpg.. I suggest you do some homework before calling people ignorant.
[02:04] <arnducky> unop I scrolled back and found the link, but thanks for poting it twice.  I'm reading it now -- TYVM
[02:04] <frogzoo> Tedd_: well try a wired connection & see
[02:04] <michaelpo> !libdvdcss
[02:04] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:04] <pbureau> Tedd, try using wired connection if it doesnt fluctuate then its the wireless connection, otherwize its a busy server with "busy" moments
[02:04] <Tedd_> frogzoo, I did this on another computer last week and it maintained at a constant stream of 300k/s.
[02:04] <michaelpo> !libdvdcss2
[02:04] <Tedd_> I don't think it's that- it wouldn't cause it to flux this much.
[02:04] <arnducky> chris_ do you think you can bring yourself to just *drop it*
[02:04] <frogzoo> Tedd_: are you using infra or adhoc wireless setup?
[02:04] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know how i can connect a second harddisk to Windows XP in VMWare. I created a vmdk with qemu-img, and referred to it in the vmx file, but Windows doesn't see the disk.
[02:05] <Tedd_> frogzoo, not sure
[02:05] <michaelpo> pbureau: thanks
[02:05] <chris_> arnducky: PS, if you are having trouble with a download, perhaps you should check into a torrent.. torrent will check files as they download an redownload anything that gets corrupted
[02:05] <tomtas> Anybody good with laptop compability towards Ubuntu? I have 2 laptops but can't decide which one to purshase.
[02:05] <frogzoo> Tedd_: maybe check that, using adhoc will cause b/w issues

[02:06] <Tedd_> I'll search the ubuntuwiki then...
[02:06] <arnducky> chris I already got the solution I needed from unop and the ISO are already here -- I just need to verify them since THE LAST TWO ISOs THAT I GOT FAILED checksum comparison.  NOW can we JUST DROP IT kthnxplsbye.
[02:07] <chris_> arnducky: wow, your so juvenile! I'm shocked
[02:07] <chris_> arnducky: you come here asking for help an insult those that try to help yo
[02:07] <frogzoo> lol
[02:08] <chris_> sorry folks... scroll up if you dont mind an tell me honestly if I was so out of line about this whole thing..
[02:08] <janey> wow, issues
[02:09] <janey> frankly i liked your torrent suggestion
[02:09] <chris_> I felt I was offering him some help when he proceeded with the name calling at me.. maybe I am wrong ..
[02:10] <chris_> he must be a Microsoft employee
[02:10] <pbureau> chris_, be the adult and put him on ignore and forget the whole thing man
[02:10] <tomtas> Guess it was easy deciding which laptop to choose, the 2nd one was not even in the chart :P
[02:11] <chris_> pbureau: he left the channel.. or I would have shut up already

[02:13] <tomtas> Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 compared to  Intel Core Duo T2400 ?
[02:13] <Kaso> So the last batch of updates that i downloaded(i think) that used the 2.5.17-11 kernel seems to have destroyed my ubuntu, it dies part-way through boot with these errors all i can spot: http://www.pastey.net/6470 Any ideas?
[02:14] <pbureau> Remember Dual core will only be officially supported on the Feisty version of Ubuntu, something to keep in mind'
[02:14] <fredl> Hmm, should a firewall script enable IP forwarding.... I don't think so huh?
[02:14] <fredl> that's more something a NAT script should do, right?
[02:14] <pbureau> Kaso, there was a bad update batch yes.... reinstall :(
[02:14] <Kaso> damnit
[02:14] <Kaso> that sucks
[02:14] <tomtas> pbureau, are you sure? seems somebody tested that laptop with edgy
[02:15] <oggy> WOW these gdesklets are cool
[02:15] <Kaso> if i re-install over my current installation how much of my customisations will i lose? things like my SATA raid support, etc etc
[02:15] <Anti-Tedd> Hmm...
[02:16] <fredl> gdesklets?
[02:16] <ron_o> fredl: eyecandy
[02:16] <Kit33> Hi. I'm having some trouble. I installed Ubuntu 6.10, edgy, about 2 weeks ago, and it has worked fine up until now.
[02:16] <ron_o> they also are really hard on the system resources.
[02:16] <Kit33> But recently I have gotten errors trying to install updates, and using the Package Manager.
[02:17] <fredl> hmm I just apt-get'ed gdesklets but don't see a thing :P
[02:17] <frogzoo> pbureau: it's broken for everyone or just some hardware?
[02:17] <pbureau> tomtas, still doesnt mean the functionality of the dual core is working completly as prescribed.
[02:17] <Anti-Tedd> Kit33, such as?
[02:17] <Kit33> When I want to use it, It says "E: Malformed line 6 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)" and "E: The list of sources could not be read.".
[02:17] <Yodude> hey can somebody help me with my nvidida driver?
[02:17] <ron_o> fredl: use synsptic or aptitude. The binary might not be called exactly that.
[02:18] <Anti-Tedd> Kit33: Pastebin your Sources.List please
[02:18] <fredl> aren't desklets those tiny programs in the panel that use HUGE amounts of memory?
[02:18] <pbureau> frogzoo,  I don't know, but I got  lucky because I got zero problems, but then again I dont have an ATI/Nvidia card and I rtun a basic gnome, no themes and other crap I dont need, I just use this reliable old PIII for  email/web browsing and web editing. :)
[02:19] <ron_o> not in the panel but on your desktop and they use more processing power than memory. Lots of processing power.
[02:19] <oggy> isnt there a program that will let you take a movie of your desktop
[02:19] <oggy> dmdesktop?
[02:19] <Yodude> i've download the nvidia-glx packge from synaptic

[02:20] <Yodude> yes
[02:20] <Anti-Tedd> Kit33, we were all there once, no worries
[02:20] <pbureau> frogzoo, oh yeah that is true.... then released it, create a havock with nvidia users, locked it back re-released it... blah blah
[02:20] <entotre> Could anyone tell me how to change the screen resolution to 1280x820 ?

[02:20] <Yodude> acutally ubuntu told me to reboot
[02:21] <LjL> Yodude: where have you taken the driver from? are you using edgy? there was a kernel update a couple of days ago, that breaks nvidia drivers from repositorise that havent been updated

[02:32] <LjL> !offtopic
[02:32] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:33] <Anti-Tedd> Kit33, don't listen to Red Scare there.
[02:33] <Anti-Tedd> Bah. Fine.
[02:33] <tuskernini> Anti-Tedd, i would do the # i dont allways have internet...
[02:33] <Kit33> I'll remove it. Thank you.
[02:33] <Anti-Tedd> 'sall good. I'm too busy trying to get my ubuntu update at a steady speed and not 111kb/s to 8123 bits per sec.
[02:34] <Kit33> It works now. Thank you very much! Bye!
[02:35] <fiXXXerMet> I had a raid 1 array.  One of the drives failed, and now the distro won't load at all.  I've attached the two original drives, each 80GB, and 2 200GB drives, to a machine, and booted into the ubuntu live CD.  Is there a way of copying the data?  The partition types are fd (linux raid autodetect)
[02:37] <Yodude> hey i've just downloaded WINE how do i run my win program with it?
[02:37] <Zta> How do I install 'rar' on Ubuntu 6.10?  I can't find it in my standard pools.
[02:37] <Kaso> wine executable.exe
[02:37] <soundray> !rar | Zta
[02:37] <ubotu> Zta: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[02:38] <Yodude> but it gives me this error:
[02:38] <Zta> thanks
[02:38] <Yodude> wine: cannot find '/media/hda1/Program'
[02:39] <Kaso> use ' ' around the directory if the folders have spaces in the name
[02:39] <arphetic> Btw, with -r it only downloads file in same map or submap?
[02:40] <arphetic> so like, if i'd do wget -r www.google.nl/search?q=evol
[02:40] <arphetic> id get that page nd stuff, but not all sites listed?
[02:40] <arphetic> and sites on that sites?
[02:41] <unop> arphetic,  wget downloads files from a location -- it does not look in those files and do any sort of magic :)
[02:41] <Zta> !info unrar-free
[02:41] <ubotu> unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20060609-1 (edgy), package size 17 kB, installed size 80 kB
[02:41] <unop> arphetic,  you will need to parse the html file you recieve there to retrieve the individual links
[02:41] <soundray> arphetic: yes, it downloads everything on that page, follows the links, downloads those pages, follows the links on them, and so on
[02:41] <soundray> unop: man wget
[02:41] <Zta> Package unrar-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:41] <Zta> uhm.. ?
[02:42] <Yodude> hey
[02:42] <arphetic> I want only the .pdf files nd stuff the file links to tbh :P
[02:42] <Yodude> to run something with WINe dfo i point it the installed executable on windows or just the .exe install file?
[02:43] <IceLink> Aloha
[02:43] <unop> soundray,  thats going to follow too many irrelevant links  .. all the links to cache, translation, stats, etc.. not worthwhile with wget
[02:43] <soundray> unop: I know, that's why I've been warning arphetic
[02:43] <frogzoo> Yodude: you first have to run the install .exe, then once installed, you run the app .exe
[02:44] <arphetic> wget, the dangerous command xD
[02:45] <fiXXXerMet> Is there another channel that would be better suited for answering my raid question?
[02:45] <soundray> arphetic: it's not dangerous, unless you consider filling up your filesystem with useless stuff dangerous
[02:45] <HymnToLife> fiXXXerMet, maybe ##linux
[02:47] <arphetic> Oh well, I canceled the dloading, site sux anyway, I only got some index files xD
[02:47] <arphetic> Is it possible to get all .pdf files a page links to?
[02:47] <arphetic> using wget ofc x
[02:48] <arphetic> and txt and chm files btw :)
[02:48] <Yodude> can someone help me with my graphics driver?
[02:48] <HymnToLife> !helpme | Yodude
[02:48] <ubotu> Yodude: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:48] <Yodude> hymntolife: i downloaded the nvidia-glx driver from synaptic
[02:49] <oggy> im glad i found this channel all the other ubuntu channels are just
[02:49] <oggy> horrid
[02:49] <Yodude> than i rebooted, then i did the required command "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable:
[02:49] <oggy> :(
[02:49] <Prinny> I know what you mean, oggy.
[02:49] <Prinny> Some channels are just... bad.
[02:49] <Yodude> but i got an error: Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[02:49] <HymnToLife> Yodude, which version of ubuntu are you running ?
[02:49] <Yodude> edgy
[02:49] <tuskernini> oggy, i use only this one
[02:50] <oggy> I just happened on this channel because of a default install of xchat
[02:50] <Prinny> Well, welcome.
[02:50] <oggy> thanks
[02:50] <Yodude> hymntolife: so? what do i do?
[02:51] <HymnToLife> Yodude, did you also install the restricted-modules for your kernel ?
[02:51] <ConstyXIV> are the problems with the kernel updates fixed yet?
[02:51] <soundray> arphetic: wget -O - http://some.page.com/index.html | tr '"' "\n" | grep \.pdf | wget -i -  # or something like that
[02:51] <Yodude> well i marked nvidia-glx for installation with synatpci
[02:51] <arphetic> :o
[02:51] <Yodude> synaptic automatically downloaded the needed files
[02:51] <HymnToLife> Yodude, run uname -r in a temrinal
[02:51] <HymnToLife> what do you get ?
[02:52] <Yodude> .2.6.17-11-generic
[02:52] <erUSUL> arphetic: soundray: iirc wget has a -A option to dl specific filetypes 'man wget'
[02:52] <HymnToLife> yock, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic
[02:52] <HymnToLife> Yodude*
[02:52] <soundray> erUSUL: thanks, I overlooked that
[02:53] <Yodude> but shoudln't APT have downloaded it for me? it's a dependency no?
[02:53] <HymnToLife> no
[02:53] <HymnToLife> it downloaded the 386 one
[02:53] <HymnToLife> which is not the one you need
[02:53] <arphetic> erUSUL: Ill check it out thanks!
[02:53] <phatrabbit> hello sorry to bother u again may i get the resolution link again i am not having much luck

[02:54] <ConstyXIV> phatrabbit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:54] <phatrabbit> i done that
[02:54] <Yodude> ok the last line i got was Setting up linux-restricted-modules-generic (2.6.17.11) ...
[02:54] <Yodude> and i got a new line for a new command

[02:54] <Yodude> is it over?
[02:54] <HymnToLife> Yodude, yes
[02:54] <soundray> phatrabbit: did you get to the question about resolutions?
[02:55] <Yodude> ?ok now i do what? sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[02:55] <phatrabbit> nope
[02:55] <HymnToLife> now you can run nvidia-xconfig
[02:55] <HymnToLife> and restart your x
[02:55] <HymnToLife> nope
[02:55] <HymnToLife> nvidia-glx-config is for Dapper-
[02:55] <Yodude> than what do i do now? just reboot?
[02:55] <phatrabbit> soundray, it asked me to choose my graphics card and keyboard layouts and abunch of other stuff
[02:55] <HymnToLife> run     sudo nvidia-xconfig
[02:56] <HymnToLife> then save your work if any and restart X (Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace)
[02:56] <oxygen> hi
[02:56] <phatrabbit> i am going to try it again
[02:56] <soundray> phatrabbit: there is a part where it lets you specify the resolutions that you are going to use
[02:56] <oxygen> my vim does not have color on ubuntu ..
[02:56] <Yodude> ok
[02:56] <oxygen> how can use color vim on ubuntu ?
[02:56] <Yodude> thnkx a bunch man
[02:56] <HymnToLife> oxygen, google for "vim syntax highlighting"
[02:56] <Yodude> but i'm gonna keep a note on where the X file backup is
[02:56] <Yodude> i might need it
[02:56] <unop> oxygen,  errm with this vim command maybe -- set syntax=on
[02:56] <phatrabbit> i will try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:57] <erUSUL> oxygen: echo 'syntax on' >> .vimrc
[02:57] <oggy> I just used istanbul to record my deskto but , its in ogg and I want to upload it to youtube
[02:57] <oggy> any suggestions
[02:57] <oggy> =)
[02:58] <oggy> deskto =desktop
[02:58] <HymnToLife> oggy, you can convert your ogg to mp3 with e.g. Audacity
[02:59] <erUSUL> oggy: ffmpeg ??

[03:00] <phatrabbit> is there a channel for kororaa ?
[03:00] <arphetic> I have no idea how to use that stuff on multiple extensions tbh
[03:00] <arphetic> unop: there is -A to specify filetypes tbh
[03:01] <soundray> phatrabbit: have you fixed your resolution now?
[03:01] <unop> arphetic, are you using google to search for extentions?
[03:01] <unop> arphetic, whats this "-A" ? in relation to wget?
[03:01] <fotoflo> shit
[03:02] <PriceChild> !ohmy | fotoflo
[03:02] <ubotu> fotoflo: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:02] <fotoflo> I just had a little blackout and now ubuntu wont boot up in anyting but recovery mode!
[03:02] <phatrabbit> soundray, i am gonna try it now
[03:02] <phatrabbit> i got a little side tracked with kororaa
[03:02] <arphetic> For example, I would like to get all the .txt, .pdf, .chm, .zip, .tgz files that are linked to from http://www.comms.scitech.susx.ac.uk/fft/
[03:02] <Anti-Tedd> Is there just one server for updating from 6.06 to 6.10
[03:02] <unop> arphetic,  did you see this command?? -- wget -U"firefox" "http://www.google.com/search?num=100&complete=1&hl=en&safe=off&q=filetype%3Apdf+ubuntu&btnG=Search"; mv search\?* index.html; perl -lne 'print for /href="(http:..[^\"] *?pdf)"/ig' index.html
[03:02] <Anti-Tedd> Because if there is more than one, is there a possibility I can change to another?
[03:03] <fotoflo> it boots in regular mode - getting to the point where there should be a login screen, and then it blacks out
[03:03] <fredl> anybody happen to know how I can prevent default routes from being added when I bring up a DHCP interface?
[03:03] <fotoflo> can anyone help - this is a crisis
[03:03] <arphetic> Ur doing it hard way, there is a -A switch to specify that, but dont know how to use it ;)
[03:03] <pbureau> foto you use nvidia or ati drivers for video ?
[03:03] <fotoflo> dont think so, no
[03:03] <soundray> arphetic: it's on the manpage
[03:03] <arphetic>        -A acclist --accept acclist
[03:03] <arphetic>        -R rejlist --reject rejlist
[03:03] <arphetic>            Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or patterns to

[03:04] <fotoflo> pbureau: just default ones, i have a video-on-board generic intel 845 motherboad
[03:04] <arphetic> Thats on my manlist
[03:04] <erUSUL> arphetic: man wget   'wget -r url -A.pdf'
[03:04] <boy_d> hi. im new. what topic now?
[03:04] <soundray> arphetic: do not paste stuff here
[03:04] <oxygen> unop, yes
[03:04] <arphetic> erUSUL: but how di I specify more then 1 file?
[03:04] <LjL> !paste > arphetic
[03:04] <arphetic> Ye soz ;)
[03:04] <soundray> arphetic: what part of "comma separated list" don't you understand?
[03:04] <oxygen> help me pls
[03:05] <arphetic> wget -r -A .txt,.pdf,.chm,.zip,.tgz http://www.comms.scitech.susx.ac.uk/fft/
[03:05] <arphetic> Something like that will do>?
[03:05] <fredl> or does anybody know a better channel to ask Linux network related questions?
[03:06] <unop> fredl,  was that meant to patronize?
[03:06] <unop> fredl,  whats the matter?
[03:06] <fredl> unop, nope not at all.
[03:06] <fotoflo> can anyone help? this is BAD!
[03:06] <fredl> unop, I have two different external interfaces and one internal interface on my server.
[03:06] <arphetic> wget -r -A .txt,.pdf,.chm,.zip,.tgz http://www.comms.scitech.susx.ac.uk/fft/ <- starts downloading html pages as well :S
[03:06] <tuskernini> has anyone done LinuxCBT courses?
[03:06] <unop> fredl,  this is in relation to networking right?
[03:07] <rapid> !anyone
[03:07] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:07] <CrakeHunter> hello, I'm running version 6.10 right now but have some crashing problems now and then ; now i think about changing to 6.06.1 - is thee latter generally more stable? (and is there a list of program-versions in 6.10 compared to 6.06 somewhere floating around?)
[03:07] <fredl> unop, both external interfaces are DHCP, except one always returns me the same IP address so it's 'nearly' static.
[03:07] <fredl> unop, yeah when talking about interfaces it's usually about networking right?
[03:07] <erUSUL> !lts
[03:07] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[03:07] <tuskernini> rapid, so you have done one of the courses?
[03:07] <Lpriest> Hi everyone, can somebody give me a hand?
[03:08] <rapid> tuskernini: no
[03:08] <arphetic> of well it dloads
[03:08] <unop> fredl,  well, an interface doesnt not necessarily pertain to networking, it generally is, but i had to make sure
[03:08] <tuskernini> Lpriest, just ask the question
[03:08] <chrismhampson> what's the quickest (and easiest) way to upgrade to a later version of ubuntu?
[03:08] <erUSUL> CrakeHunter: 6.06.x is lts and edgy is the stable version
[03:08] <fredl> unop, so I configure both interfaces as dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces, which works alright, except *both* DHCP servers give me a default gateway.
[03:08] <erUSUL> ubotu tell chrismhampson about upgrade | chrismhampson see priv msg from ubotu
[03:08] <soundray> !upgrade | chrismhampson
[03:08] <ubotu> chrismhampson: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:08] <LjL> erUSUL: ripoff
[03:08] <blackspec> is there an absolute linux newbie chatroom?
[03:08] <fredl> unop, which causes some confusing situations depending on which interface is brought up first.
[03:09] <Lpriest> I have Raid on my pc and i want to install ubuntu, on the documentatoin is says i have to disable somthing to make this work? I dont want to damange my system
[03:09] <CrakeHunter> erusul, yes, but as i said i have some crushing problems on edgy; is 6.06.1 generally more stable or is it useless changing!?
[03:09] <Lpriest> i have a spare IDE drive i can install on, because of this do i still have to disable raid ?
[03:09] <erUSUL> LjL: shameless ;P
[03:09] <unop> fredl,  ok, thats normal .. you'll need to lower the metric of the route you wish to prioritize
[03:09] <boy_d> hoi.......... please help me
[03:09] <unop> fredl,  route -n should list two default routes -- you need to modify the one you prefer to be used
[03:09] <fotoflo> my ubuntu box is DEAD! or rather, it boots in recovery mode but not in regular mode... how do i fix it?
[03:09] <tuskernini> Lpriest, not familiar with raid, but hang in there.. there must be someone her who is
[03:09] <fredl> unop, hmm, I actually want to loadbalance the traffic over the two external interfaces but one step at a time I think....
[03:09] <[BTF] Chm0d> fredl im not a linux expert but shouldn't there be a way to bind one of your nics to be the one issuing ips?
[03:09] <erUSUL> CrakeHunter: no in my experince also note that downgrading is ot supported so you would have to reinstall
[03:10] <soundray> blackspec: ask here, if it's too newbie someone will redirect you
[03:10] <LjL> blackspec: "newbies" are quite welcome here. just ask your questions in as precise a manner as you can so that people will know whether they can help with the problem or not
[03:10] <oggy> mencoder needs vcdimager
[03:10] <oggy> not working
[03:10] <oggy> its asking for it
[03:10] <unop> fredl, do both interfaces connect up to the internet?
[03:10] <soundray> oggy: why don't you install it then?
[03:10] <fredl> [BTF] Chm0d, I think there is, I'll move to that later though. Right now I want dhcp3-client to simply ignore the default gw from the 'dynamic' provider.

[03:11] <unop> fredl,  if thats the case, i think a routing protocl is needed and AFAIK, bgp is the only one that can handle something like that
[03:11] <[BTF] Chm0d> fredl if you want to just have it ignore the gateway why not just put in ip manually?  (Static)
[03:11] <oggy> k done
[03:11] <fredl> [BTF] Chm0d, well because it's not static :)
[03:12] <[BTF] Chm0d> you get the same ip on that nic correct?

[03:12] <briancann> hey guys when I play any streaming radio station it will knock off about 1min 30 secs to 2 mins any ideas whats causing this
[03:12] <unop> fredl, you can't ignore the gateway recieved by DHCP on one of the interfaces, but you can tweak the metrics to get one to be of lower priority
[03:12] <fredl> [BTF] Chm0d, oh I see what you mean. Yeah that's an idea and I tried that. It works at first but somehow my ISP knows that I'm not using DHCP then and disconnects after that.
[03:13] <fotoflo> I just had a little blackout (i dont think there was a power spike...) and now ubuntu wont boot up in anyting but recovery mode! it looks like its going to boot in regular mode, but when it gets to the point that a login screen should pop up, the termanal goes black
[03:13] <fotoflo> Can anyone help?
[03:14] <soundray> fotoflo: did you do any upgrades recently?
[03:14] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm understand fredl what exactly are you trying to accomplish and why again?
[03:14] <fotoflo> soundray: no

[03:14] <unop> fotoflo,  do you get to the text terminal?
[03:15] <fredl> [BTF] Chm0d, I'm trying to get the two external links to loabalance outgoing traffic.
[03:15] <soundray> fotoflo: in recovery mode, see if anything is logged in /var/log/syslog or the one that erUSUL said
[03:15] <fotoflo> erUSUL: the last two lines say: fatal server error: lockup
[03:15] <frogzoo> chrismhampson: which distro are you requesting?
[03:15] <chrismhampson> 6.06
[03:15] <unop> chrismhampson,  there's probably a limit to how many CDs you can order -- they're printed and given out for free too, so you expect that too :)
[03:15] <frogzoo> chrismhampson: well as edgy is current...
[03:16] <fredl> unop, well I checked the dhclient.conf manpage and from reading that I thought it might be possible to discard the 'routers' by specifying the 'request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, host-name;
[03:16] <erUSUL> fotoflo: and the rest going backwards ?? the cause of the fatal error?? lines beginning with (EE)
[03:16] <chrismhampson> frogzoo, I know but 6.06 is LTS and I'm trying my best to let everyone know about ubuntu

[03:16] <fredl> unop, the funny thing is, that seems to work, **only** with one ISP. dhclient still sets the route for the other ISP.
[03:16] <oggy> is installed how do I use it though
[03:17] <oggy> mencoder is part of other programs
[03:17] <fotoflo> erUSUL: went up a few pages: doesnt appear to be anything beginnning with EE
[03:17] <chrismhampson> frogzoo, if i'm trying to tempt windows users to move to linux then I shouldn't expect them to work out how to download and burn an ISO!
[03:17] <frogzoo> chrismhampson: I have as much idea as you, but maybe they've run out of the dapper they printed and edgy's all they've got - plus it's more recent so 'funkier'
[03:17] <chrismhampson> frogzoo, true
[03:18] <soundray> oggy: please don't ask to be spoonfed. There is a man page as well as docs in /usr/share/doc/mplayer/
[03:18] <unop> fredl,  the right way to do this would be to tweak the routes
[03:18] <frogzoo> chrismhampson: gnome on edgy is about 2x faster than dapper, so really, if you're trying to sell people linux, edgy's a better option
[03:18] <fotoflo> erUSUL: grepeed for EEL nothing
[03:18] <erUSUL> fotoflo: well there is little info in "fatal error" i'm afraid i can not help you further... maybe reconfiguring X?? try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[03:19] <unop> fredl,  well, every machine needs atleast one default route and its probably why one interface tries to maintain that
[03:19] <savvas> how can i extract a .exe packed with zlib?
[03:19] <fredl> unop, huh? don't 'need' a default route...
[03:19] <briancann> trying to fix radio streaming it turns of after about 1min 30s - 2mins after its started I have a 1.1mb connection and no other apps taking up bandwidth?
[03:19] <erUSUL> fotoflo:  'grep \(EE\) /var/log/Xorg.0.log'
[03:20] <oggy> is there any other program I can use to record my desktop besides istanbul
[03:20] <unop> erUSUL,  why not grep '(EE)' ... ?? :)
[03:20] <esaym> I am running ubuntu server, How do I find out wether it is the 6.06 or 6.10 version?
[03:20] <trace_E_G> hi
[03:21] <boy_d> hai...
[03:21] <soundray> esaym: cat /etc/lsb-release
[03:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> fredl: take a look at this i haven't read it all but this may help you not sure http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257322
[03:21] <fredl> unop, when I bring up only the one interface, I also stay without a default route.
[03:21] <fotoflo> erUSUL: i did, no results
[03:21] <unop> fredl, if the kernel doesnt maintain a default route -- you get nowhere outside your LAN .. the defaulr route is where all unknown traffic is sent to
[03:21] <esaym> thanks you soundray
[03:22] <fotoflo> erUSUL: just tried reconfiguring X, well see what happens
[03:22] <erUSUL> unop: echo 'grep \(EE\) /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | sed -e 's/\\/\'/' ;P
[03:22] <fotoflo> booting
[03:22] <erUSUL> fotoflo: :(
[03:22] <fredl> unop, I appreciate your effort but I'm not a newbie, sorry if I raised that impression.
[03:22] <fotoflo> erUSUL: AND WE're IN !
[03:22] <fotoflo> erUSUL: Thanks!
[03:23] <erUSUL> fotoflo: no problem
[03:23] <fredl> unop, thing is, I want to add the routes after the interfaces are up, basically following the recipee at http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
[03:23] <fredl> [BTF] Chm0d, thanks for that link, interesting read.
[03:23] <fotoflo> looks like everythings hunky dory now
[03:23] <erUSUL> fotoflo: it seems that your xorg.conf got corrupted somehow
[03:23] <fotoflo> sweet!
[03:23] <fotoflo> yup
[03:23] <briancann> when playing radio steams it turns of after about 1min 30s - 2mins after it stops playing after about 1min 30s - 2mins after its startedits started
[03:23] <fotoflo> FF is able to restore the last session thoguh :-)
[03:24] <zabel> mr_daniel, rennt :)
[03:24] <fotoflo> erUSUL: sure does
[03:24] <soundray> briancann: maybe your connection is too slow
[03:25] <mr_daniel> zabel: klasse, was hast du gemacht, war eben weg gewessen
[03:25] <briancann>  I have a 1.1mb connection.
[03:25] <soundray> mr_daniel: falscher Kanal

[03:25] <unop> erUSUL,  sed fails there for some reason :p
[03:25] <soundray> briancann: I mean the connection to the radio station
[03:25] <zabel> mr_daniel envy ;)
[03:25] <briancann> soundray: works perfect in windows
[03:25] <briancann> ?
[03:25] <erUSUL> unop: well that line was totally untested XD
[03:26] <unop> erUSUL,  :)  echo 'grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | sed -e "s@'@@"
[03:26] <unska_> ive been trying to fix this issue for many hours now but i cant find any information about it. everything worked fine until i executed the beryl install script, now when i hit ctrl+alt+backspace i get some major graphical glitches and sometimes the screen turns black and crashes
[03:27] <unska_> sometimes it boots ok
[03:27] <heartbt> hey there everyone.  got a moment for some??
[03:27] <erUSUL> !anyone
[03:27] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:27] <unop> fredl,  no cynicism intended?? none taken -- what i am suggesting is what is being suugested here http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html .. only difference is they use a different approach to tweaking routes
[03:28] <esaym> ok so to get a backported package I just download the deb file and install it and run apt-get -f update?
[03:28] <heartbt> yeah, rioutil device not found.  run as root same.
[03:28] <fredl> unop, that was a private message you're referring to :)
[03:29] <unop> fredl, well, did you ask if you could pm? :)
[03:29] <gOLdenHaWK3D> hi all
[03:29] <fredl> unop, nope but I thought I would, to clarify. Some people are sensitive to perceived cynicism.
[03:29] <heartbt> syslog shows the connection
[03:31] <ubuntu> irc.mindforge.org
[03:31] <briancann> can anyone help me fix a streaming radio problem, it just stops playing about a min & 1/2 after its started?.  My connection is fine I have played the same stations in windows and they have worked perfectly without stopping
[03:31] <esaym> quick question: In ubuntu server when I install software with apt-get, why does it sometimes ask that the cd be inserted?  And how do I disable this?
[03:31] <fredl> unop, okay, so since http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html is where I'm trying to get to, some issues remain.
[03:31] <soundray> esaym: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the references to cdroms
[03:32] <heartbt> so, how can I get this device to connect to rioutil?
[03:32] <fredl> unop, since I don't want either default route to be simply added to the standard routing table, I want to add them to an alternative routing table.
[03:32] <esaym> soundray: when I remove it do I need to add anything?
[03:32] <unop> fredl,  well, it's simple really -- once the DHCP (if you are in this setup, why DHCP??) leases are attained  .. parse the routing table and use the "ip route" to tweak the routing table
[03:32] <fredl> unop, so I figured discarding them at first when I bring up the DHCP interfaces would be a reasonable approach
[03:32] <unska_> ive been trying to fix this issue for many hours now but i cant find any information about it. everything worked fine until i executed the beryl install script, now when i hit ctrl+alt+backspace i get some major graphical glitches and sometimes the screen turns black and crashes
[03:33] <unska_> sometimes it boots ok
[03:33] <hylje> hey, i have an existing linux system here. how much tweaking is required to preserve /home but replace the other stuff as a whole?
[03:33] <unop> fredl,  afaik, there is only one routing table
[03:33] <soundray> esaym: no. Correction: just add a '#' to the beginning of the line to disable it
[03:33] <erUSUL> hylje: a backup of the home dir?
[03:33] <esaym> ok thank you
[03:33] <fredl> unop, uhm no there can be multiple routing tables.
[03:33] <fredl> :)
[03:34] <fredl> from http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html:  One creates two additional routing tables, say T1 and T2.
[03:34] <heartbt> ugh, hal sees the device.
[03:34] <soundray> unska_: ask in #ubuntu-effects
[03:35] <heartbt> can I get a point in a direction?
[03:35] <hylje> erUSUL: yeah well.. that's a problem as /home is 40GB and i dont have spare HDDs
[03:35] <unop> fredl, ok, maybe? how do you create a new one? and how do you query it? i'd like to try it out
[03:35] <soundray> heartbt: you may have to find out what the real device name is (possibly /dev/usb/something) and configure that in /etc/rioutil/
[03:35] <phatrabbit> soundray, i fixed it !
[03:35] <padnix> how do i make ubuntu show my norwegian letters? I cant even burn a song with K3b containing norwegian letters, that sucks.. anyone?
[03:35] <soundray> phatrabbit: well done, and thanks for letting me know
[03:35] <phatrabbit> i ended up installing the wrong vid card and scrwed xserver up
[03:35] <fredl> unop, well you create an alternative routing table with the examples on that page, for example: ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1 table T1
[03:35] <erUSUL> hylje: it is in its own partition ?
[03:35] <phatrabbit> i checked forums and set up xserver again
[03:36] <unop> fredl,  afaik, there can only be one FIB per working partition .. i just dont see how multiple routing tables can coexist
[03:36] <hylje> erUSUL: i was too lame to split the disk originally :\
[03:36] <phatrabbit> thanks for ur help mate!
[03:36] <arphetic> Great, another error message :S
[03:37] <unop> fredl,  that must be a iproute specific thing -- i'm sure at the kernel level its just one table
[03:37] <erUSUL> hylje: :( then the backup is the only solution I afraid
[03:37] <elias_> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 12 16:09:22 2007, what should i do?
[03:37] <padnix> seriously, why cant I show norwegian letters, and where is the settigns to correct this? I need to backup my mp3's and k3b wont do it because the songs contains "Illegal letters"
[03:37] <padnix> somebody please?
[03:37] <Yodude> hymntolife: are you there?
[03:37] <Yodude> i just need your help with one small thing
[03:37] <arphetic> Great, another error message appeared... I press ' hide ' or ' close ' , but it doesnt respond, it lights up but when I click it, it doesnt do anything.
[03:38] <fredl> unop, nope, multiple routing table are used depending on the conditions.
[03:38] <erUSUL> padnix: System>Admin>language support??
[03:38] <soundray> elias_: try 'sudo -k'
[03:38] <fredl> unop, ip route is pretty weird :P
[03:38] <elias_> thanks
[03:38] <elias_> still the same
[03:38] <zzz_> Is it possible to configure an Ubuntu server to act like a network hub?
[03:39] <heartbt> soundray, does not seem to appear in /dev  there is no /dev/usb
[03:39] <padnix> seriously, why cant I show norwegian letters, and where is the settigns to correct this? I need to backup my mp3's and k3b wont do it because the songs contains "Illegal letters"
[03:39] <briancann> can anyone help me fix a streaming radio problem, it just stops playing about a min & 1/2 after its started?.  My connection is fine I have played the same stations in windows and they have worked perfectly without stopping
[03:39] <soundray> elias_: try 'sudo -K'
[03:39] <elias_> did that too, same error
[03:39] <elias_> there
[03:39] <fredl> unop, although this discussion is interesting, at this point I'm still really trying to figure out how to just ignore the default route that one ISP seems to force on me whenever dhclient tries to up the interface.
[03:39] <pihus> how can I add hdd-s to "computer"?
[03:39] <elias_> thanks :)
[03:39] <arphetic> pihus: mount them?
[03:40] <pihus> coverted my ntfs to fat32 but it won't show up in "computer" anymore althogh I have mounted them
[03:40] <Yodude> hey i have just installed the nvidia-glx package
[03:40] <pihus> + I also edited the fstab
[03:40] <Yodude> but now my screen is stuck on 60Hz
[03:40] <Yodude> 85Hz i mean
[03:40] <arphetic> Why did you convert it to fat32 :S no need for that IMO
[03:40] <heartbt> soundray, not even finding an /etc/rioutil
[03:40] <Yodude> and i can't change that from the screen resolution dialogue
[03:40] <erUSUL> padnix: are the files in a ntfs/fat partition?? if so you need the apropiate charset/nls/whatever mount options see 'man mount'
[03:40] <unop> fredl, man, you havent even got the slightest gist so far have you .. i dont think you can do that .. but what you surely can do is modify the default routes (as that page also shows) so that one route is preferable over another
[03:40] <Yodude> is there any other way i can reset it to 60Hz?
[03:40] <arphetic> pihus: does linux sees the hdds?
[03:41] <pihus> yes, I can access them manually via /media/hda2
[03:41] <fredl> unop, I can actually keep eth2 down (the naughty one) and then up eth0 (the other external interface). When I don't specify 'routers' in the /etc/dhcp2/dhclient.conf I don't get a default gw.
[03:41] <soundray> elias_: the tough approach is to reboot in recovery mode and rm -rf /var/run/sudo/username
[03:41] <pihus> but I want it to show up in "computer" dialog
[03:41] <fredl> unop, it's not very nice to imply I am clueless.
[03:41] <Yodude> help please
[03:41] <kaje> I am going to give ubuntu a shot on my laptop. Can someone point me to a technical comparison of the desktop and server editions? Or just stating them here would be nice. =)
[03:41] <arphetic> what "computer"  thingie?
[03:42] <pihus> places - computer
[03:42] <erUSUL> kaje: main diff one has gui the other does not
[03:42] <pihus> or just places sidebar in nautilus
[03:42] <kaje> I read the marketing hype on the main page, but that doesn't really explain much...
[03:42] <arphetic> Thats just editing menu right?
[03:42] <kaje> oh, thanks for making that decision easy =)
[03:42] <unop> fredl, i think you need to ask the folks in here - #cisco or #networking about this
[03:42] <fredl> unop, okay, I'll go to #networking, thanks for trying to help.
[03:43] <unska_> my ubuntu makes weird sound every once in a while
[03:43] <kaje> Is the desktop version "Built on the solid foundation of Debian" just like the server?
[03:43] <unska_> i cant describe it but i have no idea where it comes from
[03:44] <unska_> its a rhytm
[03:44] <erUSUL> kaje: yes
[03:44] <antiNeo> ARG! im angry
[03:44] <antiNeo> apt broke nvidia-glx-legacy... anyone else having this problem?
[03:44] <boni__> mesg n
[03:45] <antiNeo> according to this bug report, I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-686... but apt is telling me that there's no such package
[03:45] <kaje> last question, I promise... Any differences in package selection between the two version? Aside from X and its dependents...
[03:45] <pihus> http://pihus.tuum.net/computer.png this is the computer dialog I was talkin bout. I'd like to see my other hard drive here too, but after I converted it to fa32 it's not there anymore
[03:45] <pihus> and yes I have mounted it already
[03:45] <soundray> antiNeo: are you on edgy?
[03:46] <antiNeo> soundray: yeah
[03:46] <pbureau> pihus, dod you mkfs -t vfat that drive ?
[03:46] <jamietiplady> can anyone give me some help on configuring edubuntu for use with a bt home hub router?
[03:46] <soundray> antiNeo: try installing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic
[03:46] <frogzoo> antiNeo: 2.6.12 is way old, is that hoary or what?
[03:46] <antiNeo> frogzoo: that's what it says in the bug report :-/
[03:47] <soundray> antiNeo: try installing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic
[03:47] <antiNeo> i'm installing 'generic' thoguh... it's working
[03:47] <quaal> hello
[03:47] <pbureau> jamietiplady,  well ubuntu doesnt do anything to a router, do you mean your having issues connecting to it with a wifi card perhaps ?
[03:47] <antiNeo> ty :-)
[03:47] <pihus>  mkfs?
[03:47] <sashalap[kde] > hi, all
[03:47] <quaal> could someone give me an example of their azureus install directory? i made the mistake of making it the same as my /home/username/.azureus directory where all the settings are
[03:47] <quaal> and i'd like to seperate the two
[03:47] <jamietiplady> thanks for answering pbureau, no i'm connecting through an ethernet cable to the router
[03:47] <pbureau> pihus, well your partioned the drive right and made it a fat32, did you format that drive ?
[03:48] <jamietiplady> i need advice on seting the ip addresses and DNS server etc
[03:48] <pbureau> jamietiplady, so whats the problem ?
[03:48] <pihus> no
[03:48] <pbureau> pihus, explain in detail what you did then...
[03:48] <pihus> I'm ashamed to say but I converted it in Winxp+partiton magic
[03:48] <soundray> jamietiplady: try using DHCP
[03:49] <pihus> then I booted to linux. edited fstab (changed ntfs to vfat)
[03:49] <pbureau> pihus, so is that partition formatted now ?
[03:49] <unop> jamietiplady,  doesn't the router give you these via DHCP?
[03:49] <pihus> it works fine if i just go to the directory I mounted it to
[03:49] <pihus> just converted, not formatted
[03:50] <jamietiplady> unop? how would i find that out? i'm not very good at these things, can you spell it out to me
[03:50] <pbureau> pihus, so when you do ls you get a directory listing ?
[03:50] <pihus> yes
[03:50] <pbureau> pihus, alright then whats the issue ?
[03:50] <pihus> I can access the partition fine
[03:51] <pihus> I want the partition to be shown in http://pihus.tuum.net/computer.png this window too
[03:51] <pbureau> jamietiplady, are you using gnome ?
[03:51] <jamietiplady> unop? how would i find that out? i'm not very good at these things, can you spell it out to me
[03:51] <unop> jamietiplady,  ok well, each router is different, so i cant tell you where to look .. but if you reach the router (usually by navigating to it's addres , something like http://192.168.1.1) you can look there to see if it is a DHCP server
[03:52] <jamietiplady> the ip address of the router is 192.168.1.254
[03:52] <unop> jamietiplady,  if it doesnt mention DHCP .. it probably mentions client/LAN ip addressing .. i.e. first and last IP address, subnet mask, etc .. if it does then it's probably already serving DHCP
[03:52] <pbureau> pihus, if the partition you mounted seperatly does it show on your desktop ? where di you mount it to ? ie /dev/hdax /media/????
[03:53] <jamietiplady> when i browse to the ip address through that using firefox it times out and when i try to telnet to it it times out
[03:53] <pihus> it won't show up in my desktop also. I mouned /dev/hda2 to /media/hda2
[03:53] <pihus> while /dev/hda1 is mounted to /media/hda1 and it is shown in desktop and in computer dialog.
[03:53] <unop> jamietiplady, errm, does your wired connection have an IP address in the same network i.e. 192.168.1.x ?
[03:53] <pbureau> pihus, then its under your system icon under /media/hda2
[03:54] <pihus> arrrgh
[03:54] <pihus> nevermind :D
[03:54] <pbureau> lol

[03:54] <pihus> u just don't understand what I'm trying to do ;p
[03:54] <pbureau> pihus,  no I do .. :)
[03:55] <briancann> can anyone help me fix a streaming radio problem, it just stops playing about a min & 1/2 after its started?.  My connection is fine I have played the same stations in windows and they have worked perfectly without stopping
[03:55] <jamietiplady> unop, no i dont think so .. i'm using edubuntu how can set that up?
[03:55] <pbureau> pihus, you want /media/hda2 to show as a seperate "drive icon"
[03:55] <Anti-Tedd> Is there a way to close the Upgrade process while it's running? I've decided to do a fresh install instead
[03:55] <Yodude> hey after i installed google earth it didn't add a menu entry
[03:55] <Yodude> how can i add one myself
[03:55] <Yodude> ?
[03:55] <pihus> pbureau, yes
[03:56] <unop> jamietiplady,  errm, not really sure with edubuntu -- but try this command at a terminal -- network-admin
[03:56] <elias_> does anyone know how i to set the resolution to 1280x800 on a laptop with 6.10 ?
[03:56] <soundray> unop: how about sudo?
[03:57] <soundray> elias_: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[03:57] <unop> soundray,  network-admin invokes gksudo if you havent already done so in the last howmanyever minutes
[03:57] <jamietiplady> unop, ok that works, i've got enternet interface device eth0, static ip address: 192.168.1.66, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and gateway is 192.168.1.254
[03:58] <soundray> unop: only if you call it via the menus!
[03:58] <unop> jamietiplady,  can you ping 192.168.1.254 ?
[03:58] <pihus> pbureau, so you know how to get /media/hda2 to be shown as seperate drive icon?
[03:59] <elias_> soundray, you have any idea on how i can find the bus-id for the card?
[03:59] <unop> soundray,  errm, i've just tried it out -- i didnt need to sudo it .. in anycase, we arent modifying anythig here, just retrieving info
[03:59] <pbureau> pihus, nope, and I assumed you used : mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /media/hda2  right ?
[03:59] <pbureau> pihus, did you put it in fstab ?
[03:59] <jamietiplady> unop, no cant see the router at all, i've just seen that static IP address can be changed to DHCP in the network-admin menu
[03:59] <pihus> yes I put it in fstab
[03:59] <pihus> I did put it*
[04:00] <phatrabbit> damm kororaa sucks
[04:00] <FringeJacket> how do I connect to wireless when wireless assistant isn't working?
[04:00] <unop> jamietiplady, yea, you should try setting it to DHCP to see if the interface picls up an IP address
[04:00] <soundray> elias_: accept the default for everything you are unsure about
[04:00] <jamietiplady> unop, thanks now i can ping the router ... you are a legend!
[04:00] <unop> jamietiplady,  can you get on the net tho?
[04:00] <quaal> how do i set read/write permissions to a directory?
[04:00] <unop> jamietiplady,  yw :)
[04:01] <jamietiplady> i will be able to work it out from here!
[04:01] <soundray> elias_: but to answer your question, you get the bus IDs for all your devices with lspci
[04:01] <quaal> chmod +777 ?
[04:01] <jamietiplady> xx
[04:01] <cntb> PriceChild:  o/
[04:01] <unop> quaal,  chmod 777 .. should be enough
[04:01] <PriceChild> cntb, ?
[04:01] <quaal> unop, thanks
[04:01] <unop> quaal,  what you are thinking of is -- chmod +rwx ...
[04:01] <quaal> ah, right
[04:01] <pbureau> pihus, on your desktop, could you not configure a "link icon" to it ? ie left mouse click on desktop and select create folder ?
[04:01] <cntb> PM ?
[04:02] <cntb> I  sent youan e-mail
[04:02] <PriceChild> cntb, I don't do support in pm... but if its a random question on somethign else then ok :)
[04:02] <quaal> unop, does that automatically do it recursively ?
[04:02] <quaal> or do i have to do -r
[04:02] <zabel> wie sehe ich die version meines installierten grafikkarten-treibers, wenn dieser mit envy installiert wurde?
[04:02] <Music_Shuffle> !de | zabel
[04:02] <unop> quaal,  -R does the recursing
[04:02] <ubotu> zabel: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[04:03] <quaal> awesome thanks
[04:03] <zabel> uups, sry
[04:03] <quaal> i guess that ext3 partition writer for windows doesnt automatically make them writeable
[04:03] <Beer-it> hello, gotta ask one question... when installing the LAMP what php version is used then? 4-5, or both? gotta know before i sit down and install it on my serv
[04:04] <unop> Beer-it,  5 is better
[04:04] <unop> Beer-it,  and i guess thats what is used
[04:04] <Beer-it> unop as standard of the cd image ?
[04:05] <pihus> pbureau, does ubuntu even checks fstab while booting?
[04:05] <krantix> i need some help with apt-get
[04:05] <krantix> it does not work anymore...
[04:05] <unop> Beer-it,  I'm not certain .. but i am quite sure that it is php5 (99% sure) :)
[04:05] <pbureau> yes but technically speaking hda2 is part of hda1 (not a physical drive) so its /media/hda2 on main physical hdd
[04:05] <soundray> krantix: be specific about what doesn't work
[04:06] <Beer-it> unop ty, then i will download and install it, because i need php5 for the page I have coded ;>, doesnt work on 4.x :P
[04:06] <soundray> pbureau: what??
[04:06] <pbureau> pihus,  I dotn know of a way to make /dev/hda2 as an icon on your desktop sorry  mate
[04:06] <krantix> https://194.150.208.28:8443/login.php3?previous_page=logout
[04:06] <elias_> soundray, i find 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce Go 6200 TurboCache (rev a1). But what should i write in the box?
[04:06] <krantix> ops ...
[04:06] <krantix> wrong paste
[04:06] <pihus> I just booted up and discovered that hda2 ain't mounted automatically.
[04:06] <unop> Beer-it,  in anycase, if php4 is the default, you can always upgrade :)
[04:06] <pihus> mybe fstab is messed up
[04:06] <krantix> E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
[04:06] <krantix> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
[04:06] <krantix> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[04:06] <soundray> elias_: nothing
[04:06] <lolman> pbureau: you mean /dev/hda2 is part of /dev/hda?
[04:06] <Beer-it> unop yep, later on when i got my connection at home back to the internet i can :>
[04:06] <grimboy> Beer-it, Download and install? You mean apt-get right.
[04:07] <unop> krantix,  you should run this commadn again -- sudo aptitude update
[04:07] <elias_> soundray, it say PCI:1:0:0 now, should it be like that?
[04:07] <Beer-it> grimboy i mean the OS Image from site
[04:07] <soundray> elias_: if that was the default, then yes
[04:07] <Yodude> hey can someone pass this on to the developpoers?
[04:07] <grimboy> Beer-it, I thought you were talking about php5.
[04:07] <Yodude> Put a shadow under the windows like in OS X. It can make ubuntu look much better.
[04:07] <krantix> unop, always the same error as before
[04:07] <pihus> is it just me or ubuntu's fstab look different from others
[04:07] <pihus> e.g suse's
[04:08] <Beer-it> grimboy yes, LAMP package is on the image cd, right? thats what i thougt and wounder if the packages was with php4 or php5
[04:08] <unop> krantix,  what does this command return - ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/status
[04:08] <bard> hey, is there a good grafical interactiv firewall GUI ?
[04:08] <soundray> !firestarter | bard
[04:08] <ubotu> bard: 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).
[04:09] <krantix> unop, -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 844 2007-02-10 17:07 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[04:09] <grimboy> Beer-it, Doesn't matter, if it's php4 then just "sudo apt-get install php5"
[04:09] <Beer-it> grimboy i know that, but like i said i dont have any internet connection at home right now
[04:09] <grimboy> Oh, missed that.
[04:09] <frogzoo> pihus: the UUID thing is new for linux
[04:10] <pihus> yeah i figured that out ;p
[04:10] <Beer-it> it`s gonna be local server on the intranet for a time until i get my connection back :P
[04:10] <pihus> so new that i don't know what to do with it
[04:10] <Beer-it> so thats why i wounder of the standard in LAMP from image file :>
[04:10] <unop> krantix, run this command - sudo sh -c "mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak; sudo apt-get update"
[04:10] <frogzoo> pihus: run 'blkid' - the rest is obvious
[04:11] <Bieleke> hi guys, i created some tasks that should be started on system startup
[04:11] <pihus> thanks mate
[04:11] <kippi> hey
[04:11] <Bieleke> so i created them in /etc/rc2.d
[04:11] <pihus> why is this uuid thingy good?
[04:11] <kippi> where is the dns file for ubuntu? i need to add an external server?
[04:11] <soundray> pihus: because it will still work when you delete or add a partition before the root one.
[04:11] <unop> kippi,  /etc/resolv.conf
[04:12] <frogzoo> pihus: dunno, it's a hassle in some ways, methinks for big file systems you can move them around & it's easier
[04:12] <Bieleke> but when i start KSysv, the tasks are listed in runlevel 2, but they are not in the column "Available Services"
[04:12] <Bieleke> how can i make sure they are also in that list ?
[04:12] <bulmer> any way to test a LPD server services with a printer attached to a windows xp via a telnet or lpr or something on the linux side? the xp can be ping-ed
[04:12] <unop> Bieleke,  is that the services-admin utility from the menu?
[04:12] <Bieleke> yep
[04:12] <Agent_bob> how do i get rid of the stupid "computer" icon ?
[04:13] <Bieleke> at least... in Applications - system tools
[04:13] <pihus> ok,let's give it a try
[04:13] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: in confeditor, go into metacity, desktop icon
[04:13] <unop> Bieleke,  ahh yea, it's very partial as to what info you get :) best way is to use the rc.d utilities from the command line
[04:13] <pnm> anyone else having nvidia problems after the latest kernel update in Edgy (2.6.17-11) ?
[04:14] <erUSUL> soundray: afaik it is preparation for the change of ide pata drivers in the feisty kernel . libata based ones will be used and hd will appear as sdxx not as hdxx but uuid is the same on both cases allowing a smooth transition
[04:14] <Bieleke> unop mmm time to use man rc.d i suppose ?
[04:14] <krantix> unop, now i get E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2 No such file or directory)
[04:14] <krantix> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[04:14] <Agent_bob> frogzoo what "confeditor" ?
[04:14] <unop> Bieleke,  well, there's a collection of utils .. what are you trying to do now?
[04:14] <soundray> pnm: install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic
[04:14] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: system -> config editor
[04:15] <soundray> erUSUL: that's news to me, but my explanation might be considered good enough?
[04:15] <unska_> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=74243 anyone know the solutions for this?
[04:15] <Gartral> how do you force the unmount of a cdrom?
[04:15] <Bieleke> well i created some tasks into the rc2.d dir, but they are not listed in Available services
[04:15] <Bieleke> so i want to list them there too.
[04:15] <Agent_bob> ah system tools > configuration editor
[04:15] <pnm> soundray: thanks
[04:15] <unop> soundray,  frogzoo would you know what krantix's problem would be due to -- looks like his /var/lib/dpkg/status is corrupt (it's backed up to /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak now)
[04:15] <Agent_bob> ok thanks.
[04:16] <Bieleke> Gartral, umount /mnt/cdrom ?
[04:16] <Beer-it> unop i found a sollution to my problem.. i download an extern "AMP" with an all-in-one package so i will be sure of the standards :>
[04:16] <Gartral> it says device busy
[04:16] <Bieleke> not sure if it is mnt on ubuntu
[04:16] <unop> Bieleke,  well, you should not enable services like that 00 you should place your scripts in /etc/init.d and then use the update-rc.d command
[04:16] <pihus> i don't get this thingy :/
[04:16] <Gartral> no, media/dvdrecorder
[04:16] <pbureau> Bieleke, nope its /media
[04:16] <GaiaX11> Gartral: sudo umount /media/cdrom0/ -l
[04:16] <erUSUL> soundray: yes, half true but true anyway ;)
[04:16] <Bieleke> ah okay sorry
[04:16] <Bieleke> long time ago i used linux :-)
[04:16] <Hoag> I'm having trouble getting Counter Strike: Source working in wine. I can't find the solution in any HowTos. I've got it to the stage where it opens the game window, but it promptly closes. I'm trying to install DirectX nine with wine, but I can't figure out how.
[04:17] <unop> Bieleke,  as for getting more services listed in the services-admin util, i dont think there's a way -- as i said, you get all the info you need in a terminal
[04:17] <frogzoo> !appdb | hoag
[04:17] <ubotu> hoag: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[04:17] <pbureau> Bieleke, your right the bsd usually uses /mnt but for ease of use (not techie people) /media makes sence
[04:17] <unska_> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=74243 anyone know the solutions for this?
[04:17] <Gartral> its a dvdrom x.x
[04:17] <Agent_bob> frogzoo nothing resembling that there
[04:17] <wacx-q^cat> Sorry if having words that had difficulty in understood.
[04:17] <wacx-q^cat> Because I could not English
[04:17] <krantix> unop, status seems ok...
[04:17] <Bieleke> pbureau, indeed, it just came up in my mind, from my experience on suse i think
 Agent_bob: in confeditor, go into metacity, <<< non-existant
[04:18] <pbureau> Bieleke, yep suze and slackware use /mnt
[04:18] <unop> krantix,  does this work -- sudo aptitude install apt ?
[04:18] <HymnToLife> unska_, support for beryl in #ubuntu-effects please
[04:18] <Hoag> frogzoo: Cheers
[04:18] <GaiaX11> Gartral: Go in /media and locate the mounting point then

[04:18] <krantix> is there a way to restore a basic status file?
[04:18] <pihus> arrgh, I can be such a noob
[04:19] <pbureau> pihus, what you do now ?
[04:19] <Gartral> ok, next question, who knows how to configure wine so direct x is accessable?
[04:19] <unop> krantix,  don't paste in here .. use a !pastebin .. the channel is too busy for that
[04:19] <Agent_bob> frogzoo is there anothre way ?
[04:19] <Bieleke> unop well i've installed xammp for linux and had to create the services by hand
[04:19] <soundray> krantix: 'sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status ; sudo apt-get update'

[04:19] <wacx-q^cat> ada orang INDONESIA
[04:19] <HymnToLife> Gartral, you'll certainly be more lucky in #winehq for WINE support
[04:19] <Bieleke> pbureau, what link ?
[04:20] <riotkittie> my TTYs are being flooded with networking mumbojumbo of some sort. anyone know how i might turn this off ?
[04:20] <soundray> krantix: please follow unop or me, but not both ;)
[04:20] <pbureau> Bieleke, check that link http://www.winehq.org/
[04:20] <pihus> pbureau, my fstab was messed up :p
[04:20] <pbureau> pihus, works now ?
[04:20] <frogzoo> riotkittie: syslog.conf probs
[04:20] <Bieleke> pbureau, what for ?
[04:20] <Agent_bob> frogzoo in configuration editor   or in nautilus ?
[04:20] <pihus> it seems that nls=utf8 works only on ntfs
[04:20] <christopherl> any music download site that supports Linux?
 wacx-q^cat: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia <[04:20] <wacx-q^cat> terima kasih banget
[04:20] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: conf ed
[04:21] <pbureau> Bieleke, never mind... Ia ma goof that was for Gartral
[04:21] <pihus> well it mounts it correctly via fstab now, but still won't display seperate media icon
[04:21] <pihus> it might need a reboot?
[04:21] <pbureau> Gartral, , check that link http://www.winehq.org/
[04:21] <pihus> althogh i doubt it
[04:21] <riotkittie> frogzoo: i'm not liking the sound of that :P   ah well. i will go take a peek
[04:21] <Bieleke> pbureau, ah okay, cause i thought i missed something :-)
[04:21] <Lynoure> christopherl: Any that do not do drm, at least. I think that means at least Magnatune and Emusic
[04:21] <grimboy> christel, http://www.quoteunquoterecords.com/
[04:21] <bulmer> pihus: you can try going to init level 1 and then back to same level 5.. no need to reboot.
[04:22] <Bieleke> at least the following programs are installed fine by me... xampp for linux and SABnzbd
[04:22] <pihus> ok
[04:22] <unop> bulmer,  but, isnt runlevel2 the default on ubuntu?
[04:22] <Bieleke> unop, yes it is
[04:22] <azeem_> hi, do you support gnewsense users here as well?
[04:22] <Agent_bob> frogzoo i don't see any listing for metacity nor nautilus in the conf ed
[04:22] <bulmer> unop: i think 2-5 level is default, so going to level 1 might make a difference and then back
[04:22] <frogzoo> azeem_: what's gnewsense?
[04:22] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: nautilus is there, under apps
[04:22] <unop> Bieleke,  well, i cant be sure, i've changed things like that around so much, i dont know what the defaults are
[04:23] <azeem_> frogzoo: a Ubuntu-derived distribution which is without the proprietary stuff
[04:23] <Agent_bob> frogzoo not there.
[04:23] <hdibani> Hello, does anybody know how i can roll back an update i have made for some packages using synaptic?
[04:23] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: dude, it's there
[04:23] <elias_> soundray, thanks for the help :D everything is working now
[04:23] <unop> bulmer,  errm, i'm quite certain that there are differences in runlevels 2-5 .. it's better to go to runlevel2 after 1
[04:23] <soundray> elias_: well done
[04:23] <krantix> soundray, it works now!!!!  what was it? just to know for the next time!
[04:23] <krantix> unop, thanks for your help
[04:23] <[BTF] Chm0d> what is the command to uninstall from apt-get?  Is it apt-get --purge remove?
[04:23] <unop> krantix,  what did you have to do?
[04:24] <azeem_> unop: at least Debian doesn't have differences in runlevels 2-5 by default, and I thought Ubuntu didn't either
[04:24] <unop> [BTF] Chm0d,  you could do -- sudo aptitude purge package
[04:24] <krantix> unop, the touch passage rescued my status file...
[04:24] <soundray> krantix: I'm not sure that it does -- let's check: does "cat /var/lib/dpkg/status" return anything?
[04:24] <unop> krantix,  nice :)
[04:24] <pihus> wwworks great :D
[04:24] <slippyr4> hi all. i am considering installing ubuntu on a home server pc, but  i need to load a propriatary raid module into the kernel during installation. does the ubuntu installer support that?
[04:24] <krantix> soundray, i'm back online with apt.... i can install again software and updates....
[04:25] <Bieleke> unop
[04:25] <jgalvez> hi. how do I get the machine's IP address without using ifconfig (without requiring sudo, that is)?
[04:25] <erUSUL> !dm | slippyr4
[04:25] <Bieleke> unop you can use runlevel command to check it
[04:25] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: apps - nautilus - desktop
[04:25] <soundray> krantix: I'm worried about your system...
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:25] <Bieleke> reports N 2 here
[04:25] <azeem_> jgalvez: you can get the IP address from ifconfig without sudo
[04:25] <erUSUL> !fakeraid | slippyr4
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fakeraid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:25] <Agent_bob> frogzoo i'm looking at it.  it's not there.   there is ekiga, evolution gnome-power-manager, gnome-screensaver, gnome-settings, gnome-terminal, panel, and update-notifier.
[04:25] <unop> azeem_,  well, i've seen debian installs where there are plain differences in runlevels .. but what i mean is, if you are changing from runlevel to runlevel instead of rebooting, its better to comeback to the runlevel you were at originally
[04:25] <[BTF] Chm0d> thx unop i think gstreamer is causing my system to crash.  Not positive.  I log in and it just hangs there
[04:25] <jgalvez> azeem_: not on the machine i want to, 'ifconfig' is only available to root
[04:25] <krantix> soundray, why?
[04:25] <unop> Bieleke,  i just cat /etc/inittab :)
[04:26] <azeem_> jgalvez: just run "/sbin/ifconfig"
[04:26] <slippyr4> it's not fakeraid. i need to load a module. can the installer do that? that's all i need to know
[04:26] <soundray> krantix: does "cat /var/lib/dpkg/status" return anything?
[04:26] <azeem_> jgalvez: unless the admin has changed the defaults, of course
[04:26] <krantix> soundray, yes
[04:26] <krantix> soundray, where should i past you the results?
[04:26] <azeem_> unop: I said "by default", of course the local admin can set policy as they like
[04:26] <soundray> krantix: okay, then it has indeed restored your status database
[04:26] <soundray> krantix: nowhere, thanks ;)
[04:26] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: u belong to admin group?
[04:26] <Agent_bob> yep
[04:27] <krantix> soundray, thanks a lot
[04:27] <unop> azeem_,  well, ok then, can you be sure whether the runlevels are the same on someone else's comp? :)
[04:27] <elias_> Now, I would like to get fluxbox. Do I have to download Sources & Subversion or Binaries ?
[04:27] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: cos there should be dozens plural of entries under apps
[04:27] <Bieleke> unop there is no /etc/inittab on ubuntu as far as i know
[04:27] <Agent_bob> frogzoo well there isn't
[04:27] <Bieleke> at least the command does not work for me
[04:27] <azeem_> unop: if they aren't, they should know what they've changed, assuming they are the admin as well
[04:27] <unop> Bieleke,  there is if you use sysvinit instead of upstart
[04:27] <soundray> elias_: I suggest you just do 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox'
[04:28] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: you belong to adm?
[04:28] <Bieleke> unop, ah... again learned something
[04:28] <Agent_bob> frogzoo does it need ran as root just to configure a personal desktop appearance ?
[04:28] <Bieleke> unop, what is the difference between those two anyway ?
[04:28] <elias_> soundray, nice :D
[04:28] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: nope, shouldn't do - it works this end, just don't know why you don't see it
[04:28] <soundray> !upstart | Bieleke
[04:28] <ubotu> Bieleke: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:28] <geemy> your all still here
[04:28] <Agent_bob> frogzoo i think i'm in almost every group on this box.

[04:29] <geemy> again
[04:29] <unop> Bieleke,  sysvinit is what the rest of the linux world uses -- the plain old init .. upstart is ubuntu's "enhancement" of it
[04:29] <soundray> elias_: the wonders of a good package management system ;)
[04:29] <Bieleke> soundray, thnx dude
[04:29] <Bieleke> unop ah ic, did not know that

[04:29] <soundray> geemy: that depends on your question, so ask
[04:30] <geemy> anyone using apache on ubuntu?
[04:30] <geemy> the ip 127.0.0.1
[04:30] <unop> Agent_bob,  you a memeber of root? eh?
[04:30] <geemy> tahts need to be changed?
[04:30] <Agent_bob> frogzoo ok. thanks for the effort mate.
[04:30] <geemy> i am having the ip number issue
[04:30] <aalhamad> whats the plugin for system tray for xchat?
[04:30] <geemy> and for the permissions in the apache folder
[04:30] <Agent_bob> unop sometimes
[04:30] <soundray> geemy: only if you want to serve pages for clients other than your own machine
[04:30] <soundray> !apache | geemy
[04:30] <ubotu> geemy: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[04:31] <geemy> hmmm
[04:31] <unop> Agent_bob,  i meant from the list of groups there -- is that your group membership ? or just a list of available groups?
[04:31] <geemy> well i cant switch the config file
[04:31] <geemy> cause i dont have permissions
[04:31] <geemy> and then getting thru the router
[04:31] <geemy> will be last step
[04:31] <geemy> i got it installed
[04:31] <geemy> and running
[04:31] <soundray> !enter | geemy
[04:31] <ubotu> geemy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:32] <geemy> sry
[04:32] <ViNo^ubuntu> load -e /PathToPerform/perform
[04:32] <soundray> geemy: by "switch", do you mean "edit"?
[04:32] <elias_> soundray, again, thanks :)
[04:32] <modisc> hey folks...  i just ran an updated, first in a couple of weeks... and now my xgl and beryl went clean out the window
[04:32] <geemy> i have already made one
[04:32] <geemy> i copied
[04:32] <geemy> yeah its edited
[04:32] <Agent_bob> unop no it's groups i'm in.   but i figure being in root group is less permiscuous than having sudoers setup as root jr..
[04:32] <pihus> ssh isn't installed by default on edgy?
[04:33] <soundray> pihus: only the client
[04:33] <pihus> well that sucks
[04:33] <soundray> pihus: no, it doesn't
[04:33] <GaiaX11> !enter | geemy
[04:33] <ubotu> geemy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:33] <pihus> it sucks because i'm too lazy to install it myself :p
[04:33] <unop> Agent_bob,  that defeats the point of having the seperation between root and users .. you might as well log on as root all the time -- and sudoers is meant to prompt for your credentials, not roots
[04:33] <geemy> brb
[04:34] <PwcrLinux> gm all :)
[04:34] <geemy> :)
[04:34] <Agent_bob> unop do you know anyway to change the metacity settings without it displaying in configuration editor ?
[04:34] <soundray> pihus: OS's should not install to a default state where they have open ports
[04:34] <peace-keeper> sudo su
[04:34] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: dude, if you've played with sudo, that may explain conf editor not working as expected
[04:34] <DevilLink> heuhehueue
[04:34] <Agent_bob> unop no it doesn't.   being in the root group does not let you run things as root.
[04:34] <DevilLink> good nite
[04:34] <DevilLink> INDONESIA
[04:35] <DevilLink> ada orang indonesia
[04:35] <unop> Agent_bob, errr, sure it does .. why else have a root group?
[04:35] <soundray> pihus: is 'sudo apt-get install ssh' beyond what your laziness will allow you to do?
[04:35] <pihus> guess not
[04:35] <Agent_bob> frogzoo you said that it didn't need root perms to configure your personal desktop ???
[04:35] <Agent_bob> unop ok you have proven your ignorance, enough said.
[04:35] <aalhamad> howz the system tray for xcat?
[04:35] <aalhamad> howz the system tray for xchat?
[04:36] <unop> someone please put some sense into Agent_bob
[04:36] <Anti-Tedd> Okay. How?
[04:36] <pihus> lol
[04:36] <Anti-Tedd> I prefer with a bat
[04:36] <aalhamad> i mean howdo
[04:36] <Anti-Tedd> Can I do it with a bat?
[04:36] <Agent_bob> frogzoo do you have a non-admin account setup ?    if so can that account see metacity in the conf ed ?
[04:36] <soundray> Agent_bob: you're not entitled to diss anyone for trying to help
[04:36] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: well, I see the apps -> nautilus group, you don't - there's no difference between the 2 installs, but you've changed your sudoers...
[04:37] <Agent_bob> soundray didn't diss for trying to help.
[04:37] <deKos> hey
[04:37] <bulmer> its almost Valentines, cant we just get along?  lolz
[04:37] <GaiaX11> Agent_bob: unop is not ignorant I have watched him solving many questions in this channel :)
[04:38] <soundray> unop: that was a bit of a blunder, I must say
[04:38] <freezey> i need some assistance with PostFix... so if anyone has set it up before i can use the help
[04:38] <Agent_bob> GaiaX11 we are all ignorant.  just on different points
[04:38] <unop> soundray,  what was a blunder?
[04:38] <soundray> unop: what you said about the root group
[04:39] <GaiaX11> Agent_bob: I know but did you mean that?
[04:39] <Agent_bob> yes
[04:40] <Agent_bob> if i be examined for my statement GaiaX11, ask soundray to explain it, he sees it clearly.
[04:40] <slavekk> hello
[04:40] <slavekk> help
[04:40] <aalhamad> hows the plugin for system tray xchat... ?

[04:40] <slavekk> how to make it?
[04:40] <deKos> is there any way to move mouse pointer with the keyboard? my mouse is down and I'm tired of trying various keyboard shurtcuts with no effect :/
[04:40] <SanguineAnomaly> i've just installed windows, but for some reason, its unformatted my swap partition :S
[04:40] <unop> soundray, this is how i see it, and know from first hand experience too .. if you have a user that is member of the root group, his effective GUID is pretty high
[04:40] <elias_> soundray, could you tell me what i should download of these https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141362&package_id=155388&release_id=445794 ?
[04:41] <SanguineAnomaly> so i not have /dev/sda1 as boot, unallocated space, /dev/sda3 as / and /dev/sda2 as ntfs
[04:41] <slavekk> ????????????????????????????/
[04:41] <soundray> slavekk: you are spamming
[04:41] <SanguineAnomaly> how can I format the unallocated space as my swap?
[04:41] <GaiaX11> Agent_bob: Ok. I don't want to go further with this issue
[04:41] <aalhamad> hows the plugin for system tray xchat... ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------plz help
[04:41] <unop> soundray,  s/GUID/GID/
[04:41] <slavekk> how to close programs taht i CANT close
[04:41] <bulmer> SanguineAnomaly: install windows first then linux..otherwise you come across problems
[04:41] <slavekk> ???????/
[04:41] <aalhamad> howz= what is
[04:41] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: from a user account with no groups you still see the app-> nautilus settings in gconf-editor, so dunno
[04:41] <SanguineAnomaly> bulmer: well, should I just reinstall ubuntu then?
[04:42] <slavekk> like ctr+alt+del in windows??????????????
[04:42] <coNP> SanguineAnomaly: no
[04:42] <bulmer> SanguineAnomaly: you may as well..
[04:42] <coNP> SanguineAnomaly: it is not needed
[04:42] <Deed> Anyone know if there's a MSN client that has tabs for conversations?
[04:42] <SanguineAnomaly> ok, i only installed ubuntu yesterday, so its no loss
[04:42] <coNP> SanguineAnomaly: have you already installed both ?
[04:42] <elias_> Deed, gaim
[04:42] <SanguineAnomaly> coNP, yes, but windows unformatted my swap partition :/
[04:42] <Deed> elias_, hmm? Is there?
[04:42] <slavekk> heloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[04:42] <GaiaX11> Deed: gaim, kopete, etc...
[04:42] <Agent_bob> frogzoo hmmm ok.  thanks for testing that.   i'll have to examine this system a little closer.    it's a pretty fresh install of 6.6
[04:43] <Deed> GaiaX11, does kopete have tabs?! OMG!
[04:43] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: 6.6 might be different, 6.10 this end
[04:43] <soundray> slavekk: STOP SPAMMING
[04:43] <GaiaX11> Deed: For me it does
[04:44] <lolman> Yep, you need to fiddle about with the Behaviour settings Deed
[04:44] <coNP> SanguineAnomaly: then it might be easier to reinstall ubuntu I guess
[04:44] <azalin> deed: gaim internet messanger has tabs
[04:44] <SanguineAnomaly> coNP, :) ok
[04:44] <GaiaX11> Deed: you only need to config it.
[04:44] <SanguineAnomaly> thanks guys
[04:44] <Agent_bob> frogzoo not likely though,  more likely that having gnome and kde both installed has had some strange affect on the settings.
[04:44] <azalin> just installed it today :)
[04:44] <Deed> GaiaX11, how do I config it for tabs? :)
[04:44] <frogzoo> Agent_bob: could be
[04:44] <soundray> slavekk: try 'killall nicotine' in a terminal
[04:45] <coNP> Deed: you don't have to, it is tabbed by default
[04:45] <slavekk> ok
[04:45] <lolman> Deed: head into the Behavior section of the Configuration screen, on the Chat tab there is an option for grouping chats
[04:45] <lolman> coNP: not on Kopete ;-)
[04:45] <coNP> lolman: sorry, I thought we are speaking about gaim
[04:46] <Kyral> Yoooder: Install OpenNTPD :P
[04:46] <Deed> lol! Thanks alot guys!
[04:46] <jesussm> thanks
[04:46] <jesussm> follow me
[04:46] <modisc> seems that doing the latest ubuntu update killed my xgl
[04:46] <GaiaX11> Deed: there it is
[04:47] <Yoooder> Kyral: I run ntpdate hourly when the problem is happening and it's not enough to keep my MythTV shows on schedule (I hate it when MythBusters ends 5 minutes early!)
[04:47] <modisc> won't run beryl anymore and it runs REAL slow in metacity
[04:47] <Deed> GaiaX11, yeah found it! Thanks alot.
[04:47] <soundray> modisc: 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11' may fix it
[04:47] <soundray> modisc: sorry 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic' may fix it
[04:47] <Kyral> Yoooder: Hmm....dunno is there a BIOS update for your system (BTW you should really run OpenNTPD as a daemon)
[04:47] <Agent_bob> frogzoo thanks again.     and unop i hope i did not offend you.   ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of, unless we are ignorant by our own choice.   and then it's not nesseceraly so,  i choose to be ignorant of some things in order to be aware of others...    (i suppose that is universal)
[04:47] <Yoooder> modisc: are you sure your latest upgrade didn't just mess with your video drivers?
[04:48] <modisch> i'm about to try reinstalling the fglrx drivers...
[04:48] <Yoooder> modisc: it's possible you're running without hardware acceleration would slaughter video performance
[04:48] <lolman> Do ATI's drivers get fried by kernel updates?
[04:48] <modisch> unfortunately, re-fscking after my computer crashed trying to end the xgl session
[04:48] <soundray> modisch: are you ignoring me?
[04:48] <unop> Agent_bob, dont patronize me, just leave :)
[04:48] <modisch> soundray: nope.  gonna try that after the fglrx drivers
[04:49] <humbolto> on a 100gb disk drive, is it normal for beagle to occupy as much as 1.4 gb of disk space in .beagle?
[04:49] <soundray> modisch: try this *before* the fglrx drivers
[04:49] <modisch> soundray: I can't do much right now while i fsck
[04:49] <modisch> ok
[04:50] <modisch> nice netsplit
[04:50] <Deed> Ok, next question. Is there a way to change the font settings for the tabs in kopete? :)
[04:50] <facugaich> Goodbye, orwell
[04:51] <apokryphos> ubotu: netsplit
[04:51] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[04:51] <lolman> Deed: not a clue there, I don't mind them as they are
[04:54] <Quintin> woot
[04:54] <Quintin> got TRS running with WINE
[04:54] <rage__> TRS?
[04:54] <Quintin> The Rosetta Stone!
[04:55] <modisch> soundray:  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-11-generic is already the newest version
[04:55] <rage__> Oh...
[04:55] <soundray> modisch: okay, that wasn't it then
[04:55] <Quintin> rage__: oh?
[04:55] <modisch> time for drivers i guess
[04:55] <rage__> Quintin: I know not what that is, hmmm.
[04:56] <Quintin> rage__: language training software
[04:56] <rage__> Ah.
[04:58] <modisch> well....
[04:58] <modisch> there's no new fglrx driver
[04:58] <xamox> how can I tar a directory but exclude one particular sub-dir?
[04:59] <soundray> xamox: use --exclude=PATTERN (man tar)
[04:59] <xamox> soundray, thx.
[05:00] <riotkittie> that was odd. my syslog.conf was fine... but i didnt have a tty8 running at all
[05:02] <pihus> how to send messages between users in terminal?
[05:02] <jayco> connect irc.irc-hispano.net
[05:03] <aoupi> pihus: ytalk works but it is usualy a bitch to set up
[05:03] <KennethP> '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

[05:03] <ubotu> aoupi: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:03] <pihus> k, but how to kill a user in terminal?
[05:03] <aoupi> oh sorry
[05:03] <Quintin> pihus: 'man write'
[05:03] <pihus> should be skill but it ain't working
[05:03] <modisch> well, looks like i'm SOL for fglrx and xgl right now
[05:04] <Quintin> pihus: man kill, apt-get install slay
[05:04] <Quintin> modisch: why's that?
[05:04] <riotkittie> write is rad
[05:04] <modisch> quintin: it insists on not working... seems like the hardware acceleration is pooched
[05:04] <modisch> quintin: i get terrible performance and beryl crashes instantly
[05:04] <Quintin> modisch: lsmod | grep ati
[05:05] <oni> hi guys, I have kind of a serious problem here... I am still dealing with the nvidia drivers breaking on every startup, but for a while I've been just reinstalling from the nvidia installer to fix it.  now it seems that the kernel got upgraded and on restart I can't install the nvidia package because I'm lacking headers....so (1) is it possible to fix this and (2) does anyone know the package name for the latest headers?
[05:05] <modisch> quintin: cpufreq_conservative      8712     0
[05:05] <brk3> hi, my ubuntu updated last night and now whenever I log in gnome-panel crashes repeatly I cant seem to get it back to normal. other people seem to be getting the same problem is there anything i can do?
[05:05] <erUSUL> oni: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[05:05] <Quintin> oni: yes.  Install the kernel source or kernel headers for your kernel.  add 'nvidia' to /etc/modules to have it autoloaded on startup.
[05:05] <brk3> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356854&page=2&highlight=gnome+panel+crash
[05:06] <modisch> quintin: i'm not using the 'ati' drivers, i'm using 'fglrx'
[05:06] <Quintin> modisch: I know that.
[05:06] <oni> thanks erUSUL and Quintin
[05:06] <Quintin> modisch: lsmod | grep agp
[05:06] <modisch> pulls up "intel_agp" and "agpgart"
[05:07] <modisch> and lists fglrx and intel_agp under agpgart
[05:07] <Quintin> modisch: how did you install ati driver?
[05:07] <modisch> quintin: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide#C
[05:08] <modisch> quintin: fglrxinfo turns up fine.
[05:08] <Quintin> modisch: I would recommend getting the latest driver from ati.amd.com and installing that way
[05:08] <brk3> ubuntu sucks
[05:08] <modisch> well, i think it does.  shows "OpenGL vendor strings"  for ATI technologies, 9800 Xt, 2.0.6011
[05:09] <Quintin> modisch: paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please
[05:10] <modisch> quintin: into the channel??
[05:10] <Quintin> modisch: ...
[05:10] <aoupi> !paste

[05:14] <aalhamad> plz if somebody can give me his recomendation///
[05:14] <soundray> kekko: the next version of ubuntu which is currently alpha
[05:14] <modisch> quintin:  sorry, typo..  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5414/
[05:14] <kekko> soundray: uhm.. alpha is a bit of an early stage...
[05:14] <geemy> amule
[05:14] <christof-kr> aalhamad: depends on what you need it for
[05:14] <Quintin> modisch: screwy.  what does glxinfo | grep direct say ?
[05:14] <modisch> quintin: i'm on irc on a different machine because of frequent reboots
[05:15] <aalhamad> fies and moves..
[05:15] <modisch> quintin: direct rendering: Yes
[05:15] <aalhamad> movies
[05:15] <aalhamad> files
[05:15] <Quintin> modisch: can you run glxgears?
[05:15] <modisch> yes
[05:15] <aalhamad> christof-kr,
[05:15] <soundray> kekko: exactly. But your system appears to be in an inconsistent state because of a failed or partial upgrade.
[05:15] <kekko> geemy: so you are having the same problems with synaptic?
[05:15] <geemy> in my problem iu think i  also need rights to change files in folders other than my own to unlock the router  as well as the config file
[05:15] <Quintin> modisch: hmm
[05:15] <Quintin> modisch: have you tried using aiglx instead of xgl?
[05:15] <soundray> kekko: can you put the output of 'apt-get -f install' on the pastebin pls
[05:15] <geemy> no i got my apache installed
[05:16] <modisch> quintin: i'm in xorg now...  i can jump into xgl and see how everything works
[05:16] <soundray> kekko: make that sudo apt-get -f install
[05:16] <geemy> yeah i was just reading taht too
[05:16] <aalhamad> christof-kr, what are the best for movies?
[05:16] <steel_lady> one short question: sometimes my sound goes off and I don't have the sound in the whole sistem until I reboot. is there any other qay to reiniciate the sound without booting?
[05:16] <kekko> soundray: doing it now
[05:16] <geemy> i already have it , it appears
[05:16] <christof-kr> well, aalhamad.this is not really an ubuntu question. ubuntu has clients to a lot of p2p networks. but you have to decide on yourself which network you want to use in the first place
[05:17] <Quintin> steel_lady: are you using software mixing?
[05:17] <aeshyamae> hai everybody i am new to this free(dom) world
[05:17] <christof-kr> aalhamad,  i can't help you with this, because i'm not downloading movies
[05:17] <steel_lady> Quintin, I am not sure

[05:17] <christof-kr> CrakeHunter, stick a pencil into it =)
[05:17] <aalhamad> christof-kr, ok then documents ?
[05:17] <Quintin> CrakeHunter: install lm_sensors
[05:18] <aeshyamae> i am using ubuntu 6.06 in that can i install the xgl desktop and have the 3d desktop effects?
[05:18] <ompaul> geemy, you have been asked not to put your information on more than one line - please do that thanks
[05:18] <CrakeHunter> ;D @ christof,  @ quintin: okay
[05:18] <Matthew_Charman> Hello. I need a little advice on how to install Ubuntu for the first time, if anyone can spare a few minutes.
[05:18] <aalhamad> christof-kr,what do you use?
[05:18] <sprite_13> how can i emerge SIM 9.4. * ?
[05:18] <Quintin> aeshyamae: depends on what your gfx hardware is
[05:18] <modisch> quintin: glxgears runs in xgl, poorly, with "Xlib:  extension "Xfree86 DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[05:18] <soundray> geemy: use 'sudo command', replacing "command" with whatever you are going to use for changing the files.
[05:18] <kekko> soundray : this is all i get as output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5417/
[05:18] <christof-kr> aalhamad, i'm barely using file sharing
[05:18] <sprite_13> how can i install with "apt-get install" SIM 9.4. * ???
[05:18] <modisch> under xgl, glxinfo gives me "direct rendering: No"
[05:18] <Quintin> modisch: paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log after you start xgl
[05:18] <christof-kr> can't help you with that, aalhamad
[05:19] <aeshyamae> ya the open office says my ATI radeoan(or something like that:))is not in xgl database
[05:19] <soundray> kekko: okay, can you also paste your /etc/apt/sources.list pls
[05:19] <[BTF] Chm0d> kekko: sudo apt-get build-essential
[05:19] <soundray> [BTF] Chm0d: that's not going to help
[05:20] <geemy> well i am trying but its soo busy in here plz will someone msg me if they have any information as to how i gain admin rights over apache folders
[05:20] <aeshyamae> is the xgl desktop available for ATI radeoan ??
[05:20] <soundray> kekko: don't listen to [BTF] Chm0d please
[05:20] <pibarnas> Houston, I have a problem! Folks, I've noticed everytime I got an application running, there's an annoying sound coming from the box, however when I shut the application down, the ubuntu desktop doesn't emit the sound anymore. Too weird. I unchecked the video sound control... Can you give me a help?
[05:20] <Matthew_Charman> I want to setup my laptop as a web development and office system. I would like Open Office etc. and LAMP - should I go for Desktop or Server version of Ubuntu? Testing scripts etc. would be no more than 5 connection son a LAN.

[05:21] <Quintin> modisch: odd.  what 3d card?
[05:21] <patrick_> how do you add programs to the startup
[05:21] <modisch> quintin: direct rendering isn't working in Xgl
[05:21] <CrakeHunter> quintin, i did install lm_sensors. how do i start it? the command lm_sensors doesnt work, and i dont see an entry in my applications list
[05:21] <geemy> geez u guys are getting a lot of the same simialiar question huh

[05:22] <sprite_13> and what about my question ? =)))
[05:22] <modisch> quintin: the timestamp is the same for both pastes
[05:22] <sprite_13> a tell about SIM 9.4.*
[05:22] <soundray> [BTF] Chm0d: honestly, rudeness is something else. You may not have noticed, but I addressed you first, before I told kekko not to listen to you. I had good reasons as well.
[05:22] <SanguineAnomaly> Guys, just reinstalled ubuntu, and /boot/ is empty
[05:22] <SanguineAnomaly> what's gone wrong? :/
[05:22] <CrakeHunter> i installed lm-sensors - how do i start this application? i dont see any entry
[05:23] <Quintin> CrakeHunter: command line
[05:23] <patrick_> geezy you can do it through add remove? thanks!
[05:23] <erUSUL> CrakeHunter: sensors is the userspace app and sensorsd (a daemon)
[05:23] <dreamerdude> anyone know where i can find the file libssl.so.0 ??!?! i keep serching and all i find are files like libssl.so, libssl.so.0.9.8 etc
[05:23] <erUSUL> !sensors
[05:23] <ubotu> You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[05:23] <modisch> quintin: any idea why Xgl isn't logging?
[05:23] <tcpip> need help.. ever since i installed ntfs-3g and edited fstab .. my system lags terribly when i access one of my ntfs partitions abt 180gb big
[05:23] <CrakeHunter> a heh, i need to install the sensors-applet as well ;)
[05:24] <Quintin> modisch: how are you starting it?
[05:24] <erUSUL> dreamerdude: what app ask for that file?
[05:24] <dreamerdude> hydra
[05:24] <Bravesurf> Who should i talk to if i need help to install Ubuntu?
[05:24] <soundray> kekko: how did you get into this situation?
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> Bravesurf,  read the install docs yet?
[05:24] <Zta> How does one burn a dvd from the commandline on Ubuntu Server?  cdrecord?
[05:24] <apokryphos> !ask | Bravesurf
[05:24] <ubotu> Bravesurf: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:24] <dreamerdude> even the binary for hydra asks for it
[05:24] <sprite_13> more then more peoples...and nothing ..
[05:25] <[BTF] Chm0d> Bravesurf: installing is pretty much straight forward
[05:25] <SanguineAnomaly> Guys, just reinstalled ubuntu, and /boot/ is empty - what's happened?!
[05:25] <arsentop> i cant seem to get network-manager to load

[05:25] <kekko> soundray: trying to install the c compiler and all its libraries in order to install OGG  ...
[05:25] <pibarnas> Houston, I have a problem! Folks, I've noticed everytime I got an application running, there's an annoying sound coming from the box, however when I shut the application down, the ubuntu desktop doesn't emit the sound anymore. Too weird. I unchecked the video sound control... Can you give me a help?
[05:25] <steel_lady> quintin, yes I have software mixing
[05:25] <tcpip> !ntfs
[05:25] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:25] <soundray> kekko: how exactly did you try to install the C compiler?
[05:25] <CrakeHunter> quintin, unfortunately lm-sensors only shows my cpu temperature
[05:25] <Bravesurf> i just want to fill up the public window with my newbie questions
[05:25] <dreamerdude> ok ill try that, thanks
[05:26] <tcpip> !ntfs-3g
[05:26] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[05:31] <geemy> ty
[05:33] <soundray> [BTF] Chm0d: make sure that all your sound apps are set to use ALSA output. You've probably got something that wedges the sound by hogging OSS devices.
[05:33] <vieirar> Hi can someone help me I just installed my new Nvidia card. Before I did this I uninstalled all fglrx drivers and config etc.
[05:33] <vieirar> However, when I go to install nvidia-glx I get an error
[05:33] <freezey> how do i set premissions to everything inside a file?
[05:33] <kekko> soundray: they just say which libraries to install for C compiler.joe_bruis say: You must have libc6-dev-i386 (not just libc6-i386) installed!
[05:33] <vieirar> dpkg-divert: `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx' clashes with `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx
[05:34] <chronic1> i installed a package thru apt that is apparently broken (gforge)....is there a way to get it out of my system?
[05:34] <MagicRabbit> Can nobody help me pick which version of Ubuntu to install? :-(
[05:34] <vieirar> I made sure I uninstalled xorg-driver-fglrx
[05:34] <chronic1> it always tries to configure itself and then apt errors out
[05:34] <chronic1> MagicRabbit: i just use the most current
[05:34] <vieirar> I did it with dpkg -P and via aptitude and apt-get. still getting issue
[05:34] <freezey> Howdo i set permissions to everything inside a directory?
[05:34] <vieirar> I think my ldconfig is messed up
[05:35] <modisch> everyone seems screwed over with the latest update ;)
[05:35] <vieirar> /usr/lib/fglrx does not even a path anymore
[05:35] <kekko> soundray : to get to the root of my original problem, i get "c compiler can not create executables" when i do a ./configure for OGG encoder..
[05:35] <soundray> kekko: well that's fine -- it doesn't explain why your system is set to install version 2.5 of libc6, when the current one in edgy is 2.4
[05:35] <MagicRabbit> chronic1: I need to know whether to use Desktop or Server, as I want to develop web applications, but also use the computer as a replacement for my Office PC.
[05:35] <FrenKy> Hi All!
[05:35] <lolman> MagicRabbit: you'd want Desktop for that
[05:36] <MagicRabbit> lolman: Ok, and then I need to download Apache, MySQL, PHP etc, yes?
[05:36] <FrenKy> Quick question. How can I get my GNOME taskbar to look like this:  http://www.april.org/groupes/labo/gnome/stuff.png ?
[05:36] <lolman> Yeah
[05:37] <yonigar> ola
[05:37] <MagicRabbit> lolman: Thank you! :-)
[05:37] <soundray> kekko: what do you get from 'sudo apt-get install libc6'?
[05:37] <lolman> Is xampp in the repos, anyone?
[05:37] <CrakeHunter> whats the command for hddtemp to reconfigure it?
[05:37] <infidel> anyone know anything about playing music on cell phones?
[05:37] <soundray> [BTF] Chm0d: make sure that all your sound apps are set to use ALSA output. You've probably got something that wedges the sound by hogging OSS devices.
[05:37] <chronic1> MagicRabbit: i'd jsut go with desktop
[05:37] <MagicRabbit> chronic1: Thank you! :-)
[05:37] <yonigar> donde esta la jente
[05:37] <FrenKy> infidel: What you have in mind? What phone?

[05:39] <infidel> FredricR_, don't know how to get music ie... mp3 to play on it
[05:39] <yonigar> alguna bu

[05:41] <infidel> FrenKy, the instructions are in japanese so i'm not sure what i'm suppose to do from what i gather i need to feed the mp3 through some kind of software so it somewhat encrypted, you know anything about that?

[05:45] <Asl[a] n> Hello, all you dateless wonders. :) I have this problem- was able to browse my LAN just fine using samba- until a while back -
[05:45] <jfanaian> I had my wireless drivers working but upon installing my video card drivers (using guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766&highlight=ATI+Xpress+200) my wlan0 interface has dissapeared
[05:45] <jfanaian> If I do ndiswrapper -l it shows up as both the drivers and hardware present
[05:45] <Asl[a] n> but now that i've reinstalled Windows on the other computer i share files with, i've been unable to connect.
[05:46] <LiENUS> is there a way to force a user to change their password next time they login to the console?
[05:46] <abhinay> is there no 'alsaconf' in ubuntu ?
[05:46] <Asl[a] n> so two part question: does linux/samba need re-configuring to work - or is it a windows problem?
[05:46] <crimsun> abhinay: no.
[05:46] <soundray> ompaul: we know that -- but nothing in the sources.list points to install anything from feisty!
[05:46] <dwight> exit
[05:46] <jfanaian> but if I try sudo modprobe ndiswrapper I get "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko)
[05:46] <dwight> oops//
[05:46] <ompaul> soundray, ahh
[05:46] <kekko> ompaul: i'm on edgy
[05:46] <jfanaian> Does anyone know why the video drivers will mess up modprobe or ndiswrapper?
[05:46] <abhinay> crimsun: whats the alternative ?
[05:47] <hamzadalias> wenas
[05:47] <Agrajag> LiENUS: "passwd -f <username>" should do it
[05:47] <soundray> ompaul: it's not the usual...
[05:47] <hamzadalias> ai alguien que able espaol
[05:47] <crimsun> abhinay: let udev do its job. What's the issue?
[05:47] <ompaul> hamzadalias, #ubuntu-es
[05:47] <ciscosurfer> LiENUS: you can set -e switch in a terminal (so, for example passwd -e <usernamehere>) you can check the man pages for it as well
[05:47] <Agrajag> ciscosurfer: -e changes the shell
[05:48] <LiENUS> wait... i've gotten two different answers...
[05:48] <hamzadalias> hamzadelcongo@hotmail.com
[05:48] <LiENUS> Agrajag,  -e expires the password
[05:48] <soundray> kekko: 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install libc6-dev' -- same error?
[05:48] <Agrajag> LiENUS: it's -f, (f)orce password change. do "man passwd" for more info
[05:48] <Veganto> Hey guys, I've got a little problem. I installed my nVidia 7600GS graphics card on Ubuntu Dapper, everything's working great, even the rotating Beryl cube, but when I glxinfo | grep rendering it still says Direct rendering: No, and sometimes certain menus such as the Applications menu just stay white until I open them again.
[05:48] <Agrajag> you sure about that, maybe I'm looking at an old manual
[05:48] <LiENUS>  The -f
[05:48] <LiENUS>        option makes passwd call chfn to change the users gecos information.
[05:48] <LiENUS>        These two options are only meant for compatibility, since the other
[05:48] <LiENUS>        programs can be called directly.
[05:48] <hamzadalias> hamzadelcongo@hotmail.com
[05:48] <Asl[a] n> ompaul, is it possible to use the ubuntu box as a server if its sharing an internet connection over windows internet connection Sharing?
[05:48] <Agrajag> Oh, hell, I'm wrong.
[05:49] <FrenKy> Anybody knows how can I get my GNOME taskbar (with delivered with 6.10) to look like this: http://www.april.org/groupes/labo/gnome/stuff.png ?
[05:49] <Agrajag> wtf, I thought -g was change gecos. OK
[05:49] <kekko> souundray: same story.
[05:49] <ompaul> kekko, have you enabled backports or some such?
[05:49] <LiENUS> how can i set an empty password?
[05:50] <soundray> ompaul: no -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5418/ (kekko)
[05:50] <jfanaian> Could enablinb backports and updating screw up ndiswrapper or modprobe?
[05:50] <modisch> ok...  for whatever reason....  it seems like my update messed up fglrx and xgl...  and i can't get direct rendering going in Xgl
[05:50] <kekko> ompaul: here it's standard ubuntu installation. no backports that i know of
[05:50] <modisch> direct rendering works in Xorg, but not Xgl
[05:50] <ompaul> Asl[a] n, you can - but -- will windows route the packets no idea don't touch that thing myself
[05:50] <LiENUS> err
[05:50] <LiENUS> passwd -e isnt working...
[05:50] <LiENUS> i login via ssh...
[05:50] <LiENUS> and it doesnt forge me to change my pass..
[05:50] <kekko> ompaul: not that i know of
[05:51] <ompaul> kekko, what are you trying to install?
[05:51] <kekko> ompaul: OGG libraries
[05:51] <[BTF] Chm0d> my ubuntu has been treating me like I have been cheating on it ;(
[05:51] <kekko> ompaul: libogg 1.1.3

[05:51] <Veganto> Hey guys, I've got a little problem. I installed my nVidia 7600GS graphics card on Ubuntu Dapper, everything's working great, even the rotating Beryl cube, but when I glxinfo | grep rendering it still says Direct rendering: No, and sometimes certain menus such as the Applications menu just stay white until I open them again.
[05:51] <riotkittie> [BTF] Chm0d: *have* you been cheating on it?
[05:51] <ompaul> kekko, so this is happening when you try to do "sudo apt-get install libogg" ?
[05:51] <[BTF] Chm0d> hangs during bootup, no sound.....it's forcing me to install winblows :)
[05:51] <[BTF] Chm0d> NO

[05:52] <CrakeHunter> hello i did install hddtemp and sensors applet - now temp. of hdd and cpu is shown in system try. originally i wanted to control the speed of my case fan. how can i do that?
[05:52] <jfanaian> I enabled all the commented repositories in sources.list and did an update and now my wlan0 dissapeared, and sudo modprobe ndiswrapper errors out
[05:52] <[BTF] Chm0d> ty
[05:52] <yonigar> alguna tititit por ai
[05:52] <kekko> ompaul: no when i do a ./configure i get "C compiler can not create executables"

[05:53] <ompaul> PwcrLinux, afternoon
[05:53] <erUSUL> ubotu tell yonigar about es | yonigar see priv msg from ubotu
[05:53] <ompaul> kekko, install using apt-get
[05:54] <riotkittie> [BTF] Chm0d: sucks that youre having issues. is the hang during boot a constant thing ? is it a kernel panic of some sort by any chance ?
[05:54] <PwcrLinux> FF working great, after I moved the libflashplayer.so to backup dir. no more FF crashes..
[05:54] <kekko> ompaul: ok, trying that
[05:54] <PwcrLinux> FP 9 bugs, notified at adobe done
[05:54] <[BTF] Chm0d> riotkittie: to be honest i really dont know what it is..it just hangs when i log in......
[05:54] <soundray> kekko: I have a new idea. Can you do a 'sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status' and find the section that starts with "Package: libc6-dev" and paste that
[05:55] <[BTF] Chm0d> then after awhile my sound just stops for no apparent reason.
[05:55] <Nesco> there's no shockwave plugin for ubuntu, is there?
[05:55] <jfanaian> Is there a way I can undo updates done by the update manager?
[05:55] <riotkittie>  im not going to hold my breath and wait for adobe to get around to fixing bugs  ... otoh, they *did* give us a flash release this time, so perhaps there is hope
[05:55] <[BTF] Chm0d> i am using oss right now my onboard sound will not work when I had it running fine for months
[05:55] <crimsun> abhinay: why are you using that? Use aplay instead.
[05:56] <ompaul> soundray, a build from source is what was happening -- now he is about to do it from apt-get
[05:56] <deinspanjer> Is there a way to make my SMB mounts not appear as icons on my desktop?
[05:56] <soundray> ompaul: that won't fix the inconsistency that was preventing the libc6-dev installation
[05:56] <abhinay> crimsun: ok

[05:59] <jfanaian> Could someone tell me what to do if I uncommented all the repositories in sources.list and did an update, but messed up my wireless drivers?
[05:59] <Vigo> Thank you
[05:59] <ompaul> your welcome
[05:59] <silya> Hi all! I need password manager that works fine in ubuntu (under xfce) and in win
[06:00] <deinspanjer> jfanaian: What drivers?
[06:00] <kekko> soundray: here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5426/
[06:00] <jfanaian> I had the drivers for a broadcom card working fine using ndsiwrapper until I recently updated and restarted, now the wlan0 interface has dissapeared and sudo modprobe ndiswrapper gives me a FATAL error
[06:00] <deinspanjer> silya: I'd like to hear about that too.  I miss roboform. I really wish they would reconsider a Linux version.
[06:01] <deinspanjer> jfanaian: What about iwconfig?
[06:01] <deinspanjer> jfanaian: and lspci?
[06:01] <jfanaian> Same, only shows my lo eth0 and sit0 interfaces
[06:01] <deinspanjer> jfanaian: What broadcom? Wouldn't happen to be Dell Truemobile would it?
[06:02] <jfanaian> No its not
[06:02] <shatrat> jfanaian, did you update to the -11 kernel? You might need to reinstlal ndiswrapper, at least the parts that involve compiling
[06:02] <jfanaian> BCM4318, its on an HP Pavilion
[06:02] <jfanaian> Ah, should I just redownload+recompile ndiswrapper or use apt-get?
[06:02] <jfanaian> deinspanjer: It does show up in lspci
[06:02] <guillem101> When using nvidia-installer, how can I create the kernel module after kernel upgrade? Nowadays I'm uninstalling nvidia drivers and installing them again (I've kept the .run file).
[06:02] <shatrat> jfanaian, I used to have an HP with that chipset, but I dont remember the install procedure exactly.  Id go back to the how-to and look it over
[06:03] <deinspanjer> Is there a way to make my SMB mounts not appear as icons on my gnome desktop?
[06:03] <jfanaian> Alright, I will try to reinstall it completely
[06:03] <JimBeam> having problems with the latest ubuntu server release: i downloaded the iso, md5 checksum is correct, i burnt it with nero on windows, nero verified the cd - when i check the cd in the installer menu for errors it always finds md5 checksum errors
[06:03] <kekko> soundray: how would i get to install libogg with apt-get if i'm not sure of the exact name of the package?
[06:03] <PwcrLinux> JimBeam: you need burn at 4X to avoid getting errors
[06:03] <shatrat> deinspanjer, did you mount them in your fstab?
[06:03] <abhinay> crimsun: mplayer & mp3blaster are not working , >> 'failed to open sound device'
[06:03] <JimBeam> PwcrLinux: this is what i did
[06:03] <deinspanjer> JimBeam: I had trouble trying to burn a CDRW, are you using a normal CDR?
[06:04] <JimBeam> deinspanjer: normal cd (verbatim)
[06:04] <jfanaian> Is there a trash directory on ubuntu?
[06:04] <alberto> alguien habla espaol ???????????
[06:04] <jfanaian> alberto: #ubuntu-es
[06:04] <deinspanjer> shatrat: I used the Places | Connect to Server dialog
[06:04] <ompaul> !es | alberto
[06:04] <ubotu> alberto: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[06:04] <PwcrLinux> Verbatim? they're sucks, try memorex
[06:05] <alberto> join #ubuntu-es
[06:05] <shatrat> deinspanjer, hmm, im not sure exactly what that does, i always do it manually.  Could you look in your /etc/fstab file? If there is a line in there for your smb files that is mounted in /media then all you w*ould need to do is change it to somewhere else, like /mnt
[06:05] <soundray> kekko: there is no libogg. If you want to encode Ogg Vorbis, you will need libvorbis0a
[06:05] <alberto> join #ubuntu-es
[06:05] <ompaul> alberto,      /join #ubuntu-es
[06:05] <shatrat> deinspanjer, also, I think you can change it so that it doesnt show up somewhere in gconf-editor, but I dont remember where exactly.
[06:05] <deinspanjer> shatrat: Nope, they aren't mounted in fstab.  I'll try adding them there instead.
[06:06] <silya> I need passord manager without qt
[06:06] <soundray> kekko: can you check whether you still have an edgy libc6 in your package cache? ls /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.4*
[06:06] <shatrat> deinspanjer, I see.  Well basicaly stuff in your /media is considered removable stuff and shows up on your desktop by default. I usually mount things in /mnt
[06:06] <silya> + crossplatform
[06:08] <kekko> soundray: libc6_2.4-1ubuntu12.3_i386.deb  <-- from my cache
[06:08] <UyCaRumBa> hola a todos
[06:08] <ompaul> silya, check out sourceforge as you are not looking for one for one platform only
[06:08] <ltk05> hi!
[06:08] <ltk05> I'm just wondering, but is it possible to install Cedega on ubuntu via apt-get. I've tried, but it says it couldn't find it. Should I maybe add some other repositories? Thanks in advance
[06:08] <amortvigil> hey i cant start x with gflrx because it gives the error that i use a wrong busId even when i remove the bus id it gives the erro,im only useing 1 videocard. How can i find the right busid?

[06:08] <jfanaian> Did ubuntuforums.org just go down? :(
[06:08] <soundray> kekko: super. This might fix it: 'sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.4-1ubuntu12.3_i386.deb'
[06:09] <jfanaian> Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /srv/www.ubuntuforums.org/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 273
[06:09] <shatrat> ltk05, no.  youll need to use wine from apt or compile cedega from cvs, which is a pain
[06:09] <UyCaRumBa> ubotu,  alli nadie puede solucionar mi problema
[06:09] <UyCaRumBa> :(
[06:09] <PwcrLinux> let me check on forums
[06:09] <ScreaminIke> A have a large collection of music. each is in a folder, sorted by.. album. each album cover is in its respective folder, named "cover400.jpg". i know i can change the icon of individual folders. but i'm talking about over 300 albums. is ther a simple command to change these folder's icons to the cover400.jgp inside of them?
[06:09] <kekko> soundray: wuick explanation pls?
[06:09] <shatrat> UyCaRumBa, ubotu is a bot, and nobody here speaks much spanish.
[06:09] <ltk05> shatrat ok, thanks! I'll try compiling it, though I havent' been lucky with that (yet)
[06:09] <PwcrLinux> it's alive and up on forums
[06:09] <jfanaian> Yeah the error just went away :)
[06:10] <deinspanjer> One last big question: I'm currently running with the apt-get nvidia-glx package, and it works okay, but there is supposed to be a bug fixed in the latest one available from the nvidia website.  Is there an easy migration path from the package to a raw compile/install?
[06:10] <soundray> kekko: you have a libc6 that doesn't go with your ubuntu release. The dpkg command will force-install the one that you had before, which is the proper one.
[06:10] <kekko> soundray: thx. trying that command now
[06:10] <tcpip> can squid be configured to limit speed of those behind proxy
[06:10] <shatrat> deinspanjer, apt-get remove nvidia-glx and then follow the method 2 from the latestnvidiaedgy guide at doc.gwos.org, thats how I do it
[06:11] <shatrat> deinspanjer, otherwise, wait for it to hit repos
[06:11] <kekko> soundray: done that
[06:11] <unop> ScreaminIke, i'm not sure, but can you place a particular file in a folder to get it to be the icon?
[06:11] <jfanaian> Whenever I try to modprobe ndiswrapper I get the following error: "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument"
[06:11] <fotakis> hello all, I am living in greece, and I have recently switched to the open source way of thinking. I have a small company which I would like to dedicate to the advocation of Ubuntu. I have several question as to how to go about it, is there anyone in here that might be able to help?
[06:11] <soundray> kekko: now see if 'sudo apt-get -f install' still reports a problem
[06:11] <shatrat> deinspanjer, I dont see anything newer than 9746, and that isnt that recent.
[06:12] <deinspanjer> shatrat: The one I got from aptget says it is 8776
[06:12] <ompaul> fotakis, that is more something for #ubuntu-offtopic this is strictly support not discussions ;-)
[06:12] <bucketfan99> hey anyone here running dualhead ?
[06:12] <fotakis> thanks
[06:13] <deinspanjer> shatrat: they are supposed to have fixed a suspend/standby bug in the 97xx version
[06:13] <bucketfan99> id like my grey toolbar @ top and bottom of screen to extend to both monitors
[06:13] <bucketfan99> but it doesn.t
[06:13] <kekko> soundray: YOU ARE GO(O)D ! problem solved .Thanks you
[06:13] <shatrat> deinspanjer, msg ubotu nvidia9 and it will link you a repo for 9746
[06:13] <soundray> kekko: do you know what you want to do about ogg encoding now?
[06:13] <deinspanjer> shatrat: nifty! thanks. :)
[06:13] <AndrewB> http://www.nuxified.org/image/tatties2 Hmm can anybody help? I am wanting the icon in the top left hand corner to be changed. Currently it is the default ubuntu one..how do I change it?
[06:14] <ompaul> kekko, stick to packages and away from source :) it is easier if someone else has done the work
[06:14] <kekko> soundray: i know what i want to do, don't know iyet its command line.. do you?
[06:14] <kekko> ompaul: good suggestion ,thanks
[06:14] <soundray> kekko: by the way, make sure you close that status file without saving any changes ;)
[06:14] <shatrat> AndrewB, what you want to change is the distributor logo, there is a guide at violet-rain.info
[06:14] <PwcrLinux> AndrewB: you mean a favicon in the url bar?
[06:14] <Oni-Dracula> still having a problem with the nvidia module not loading on startup, does anyone know how to manually load it?
[06:14] <AndrewB> PwcrLinux: on the actual screenshot
[06:15] <ompaul> kekko, for that there is "synaptic package-manager"
[06:15] <AndrewB> shatrat: will check that link out.. thanks
[06:15] <shatrat> Oni-Dracula, modprobe nvidia
[06:15] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: what errors are you getting
[06:15] <soundray> kekko: do you want to compress music into Ogg Vorbis files?
[06:15] <kekko> soundray: wav to ogg yes
[06:15] <HymnToLife> kekko, Audacity can do it
[06:15] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d: i get xserver unable to load because module "nvidia" not found... and I believe I've also tried modprobe nvidia with a similar error occuring
[06:16] <soundray> kekko: 'sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools'
[06:16] <Djainette> Hello all
[06:16] <HymnToLife> Oni-Dracula, make sure you have the restricted modules for your kernel installed
[06:16] <[BTF] Chm0d> and you have installed the drivers right? I know silly question.
[06:16] <alberto_> howto compile the kernell ????
[06:16] <shatrat> alberto_, make?  But I dont know if you want to do that.
[06:16] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d: yes I do, in fact the only way I've been able to temporarily fix this problem is by reinstalling the drivers from the nvidia.run installer
[06:17] <kekko> soundray: ok, done that
[06:17] <soundray> kekko: 'man oggenc' will tell you how, I think
[06:17] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: what does lsmod give you?  Is nvidia in there?
[06:17] <kekko> soundray: yes it does.
[06:17] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: try doing this
[06:17] <briancann> what would be the best "Photo Organizer" app available for linux, I dont like Picasa, Fspot and gthumb arent the best.... and also I'm not fond of the Konqueror way of managing and viewing images
[06:17] <Djainette> I have a problem while mounting DVD-R. Is there any expert in the room ?
[06:17] <soundray> kekko: are you all set then?
[06:18] <kekko> soundray, ompaul: thanks guy, you've sorted me out. keep up the good (and intense) work
[06:18] <kekko> all solved here
[06:18] <[BTF] Chm0d> in console cd /etc/default/
[06:18] <soundray> kekko: I'm glad we fixed it in the end.
[06:18] <[BTF] Chm0d> then sudo gedit linux-restricted-modules-common
[06:18] <bard> hey
[06:18] <Djainette> I also have crashdowns because of flash... But I'd rather fix my DVD-R problem
[06:18] <Vigo_> briancann: Have you tried Gimp or maybe IrfanView wikk work in Linux now....
[06:18] <bard> i have some problem with KVM
[06:19] <alberto_> how to install beryl in my linux ????????
[06:19] <ScreaminIke> unop, no. but there is a ~/.thumbnails/ folder. that useful?
[06:19] <bard> i get FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.20-6-386/kernel/drivers/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported when trying to insert it
[06:19] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell alberto_ about beryl | alberto_, see the private message from ubotu.
[06:19] <[BTF] Chm0d> alberto go to unbuntuguide.org search for beryl
[06:19] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: Flashplayer 9?
[06:19] <briancann> Vigo, is IrfanView avail through apt-get
[06:19] <Djainette> briancann: Xnview is ugly on linux, but powerful
[06:19] <[BTF] Chm0d> ubuntu <sp
[06:19] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: yep
[06:19] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d: are we trying to confirm the file exists or are we editing a line to include nvidia?
[06:20] <Vigo_> briancann: I am not certain, let me check the sites.
[06:20] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d: keep in mind that i'm currently in recovery mode and using irssi :)
[06:20] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: no log. But PC freezes and the sound loops
[06:20] <[BTF] Chm0d> from what you told me I had same problem
[06:20] <[BTF] Chm0d> :O Oni-Dracula
[06:20] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: You can move the libflashplayer.so to backup dir, the FF will not crash again
[06:20] <Bravesurf> how do i reset bios?
[06:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> can you edit xorg.conf and put nv back in?
[06:21] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: backup dir ? in my .mozilla ?
[06:21] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d: i can try
[06:21] <Bravesurf> how can i reset bios on laptop?
[06:21] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: its' not only a Firefox crash. The whole PC crashes
[06:21] <HymnToLife> Bravesurf, you should have a "Reset to defaults" option in your BIOS
[06:21] <HymnToLife> but that's quite !offtopic
[06:22] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: if you don't have backup dir, you can create a folder on your desktop screen "backup" look for libflashplayer.so then drag the file to backup folder
[06:22] <[BTF] Chm0d> read the laptop manual Bravesurf there may be something in there that will tell you.  If you dont have the manual to the manufactures website they will have it
[06:22] <Bravesurf> HymnToLife: i need to enter the bios to install ubuntu..and i cant enter bios cause of a pw...so i need to restart the bios
[06:22] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: I already reported to adobe techie information, they'll create new one
[06:22] <[BTF] Chm0d> only way that i know of on desktop pc are either jumpers or removing the battery
[06:22] <HymnToLife> Bravesurf, and the pw appeared here by itself, didn't it ?
[06:23] <ciscosurfer> Hello!  Does anyone remember the name of the GUI Usplash utility for Dapper? (not splash screens -- I'm looking for the name of the Usplash utility) -- don't think it was in the repos
[06:23] <[BTF] Chm0d> HymnToLife: LOL
[06:23] <HymnToLife> !usplash
[06:23] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[06:23] <ciscosurfer> HymnToLife: that's not what I mean
[06:23] <Bravesurf> HymnToLife: it got plased there by the school i bought it from
[06:23] <unop> ScreaminIke,  well,  i cant be sure, the files in ~/.thumbnails seem to be created by gnome/nautilus and don't have any apparent connection to the files they provide icons for .. maybe gnome/nautilus has a database has a map in a databse for this somewhere
[06:23] <HymnToLife> ask them what the pw is, then
[06:23] <Bravesurf> HymnToLife: it's late
[06:24] <HymnToLife> as far as I know, you could very well have stolen it from that schoole
[06:24] <amortvigil> how can i find my videocard's busid?
[06:24] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: I didn't quite get it... Do I have to create a "backup" folder in my "Desktop" folder ? Will that prevent crashes ? o_O
[06:24] <Bravesurf> HymnToLife: as far as you're conserned that's none of your busyness
[06:25] <HymnToLife> maybe, but if I don't want to help you crack a BIOS pw
[06:25] <HymnToLife> it's my business, too
[06:25] <ciscosurfer> Bravesurf: open the case and remove the CMOS battery.  That will reset the password :-)
[06:25] <Bravesurf> ciscosurfer: thanx:)
[06:25] <thekidrio> some motherboards have reset switches
[06:25] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, ok I'm all up in X now...
[06:26] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: the .so file doesn't runable.. it's special program that FF will run .so file.. does your CPU spikes at 100?
[06:26] <ciscosurfer> Bravesurf: np
[06:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> using nv or nvidia?
[06:26] <Bravesurf> HymnToLife: don't acuse me for being a thief..
[06:26] <HymnToLife> I don't accuse you
[06:26] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, nvidia...had to reinstall
[06:26] <Bravesurf> then, why did you even ask?
[06:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> you should be all set then Oni-Dracula you try it out by rebooting
[06:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> oops
[06:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> we havent done anything yet have we
[06:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> :)
[06:26] <ScreaminIke> hrm... maybe the #gnome room will know.
[06:26] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: dunno, I never monitor my CPU.
[06:26] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, no :p
[06:26] <HymnToLife> because that happened to me once, a guy asked me how to do that, but he happened to have stolen the pc
[06:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> are you registered
[06:27] <HymnToLife> and that got me into big trouble
[06:27] <IVBela1> umm... guys... could someone tell me how to partition a newly added hdd in ubuntu?
[06:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> can i pm?
[06:27] <jbroome> can i BM?
[06:27] <IVBela1> i don't seem to have gparted
[06:27] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, I'm regged on the forums under this same name
[06:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> but on freenode you aren't huh?
[06:27] <Oni-Dracula> or what
[06:27] <mwe> IVBela1: sudo cfdisk
[06:27] <Oni-Dracula> on freenode
[06:27] <Oni-Dracula> yeah
[06:27] <dv5237_> When i close the lid of my notebook my wireless connection disconnects can i disable this in some wat?
[06:27] <mwe> IVBela: or install gparted
[06:27] <Oni-Dracula> -NickServ- You have already identified
[06:27] <[BTF] Chm0d> open up console and type cd /etc/default
[06:27] <Bravesurf> HymnToLife: well...i haven't stolen it...and i have got my solution:P...so there's nothing more to talk about
[06:28] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: after you moved the file, the FF will pop up "require plugins" just ignore it till the adobe fix the libflashplayer.so file when they will be available to download..
[06:28] <elias_> What windows-emulator could i use? Wine doesn't seem to work with amd64
[06:28] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[06:28] <IVBela> mwe: any noob way to do that? add/remove doesn't seem to have it
[06:28] <mwe> IVBela: cfdisk will only create the partitions, though. You'll have to create file systems afterwards
[06:28] <[BTF] Chm0d> k you already have that in there huh?
[06:28] <mwe> !gparted
[06:28] <ubotu> gparted is gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "sudo apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:28] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, im sure I did it when I followed a beryl howto
[06:28] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: ok, thanks for the tip. I'm glad Adobe knows about the issue
[06:28] <IVBela> ooo, thanks
[06:28] <soundray> elias_: there is a way to get wine32 working in amd64
[06:29] <[BTF] Chm0d> ive never seen that in a beryl howto
[06:29] <dv5237_> When i close the lid of my notebook my wireless connection disconnects can i disable this in some wat?
[06:29] <[BTF] Chm0d> but thats not saying it isnt
[06:29] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: you're welcome
[06:29] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: what's the issue with Adobe?
[06:29] <Roach`> Greetings!
[06:29] <PwcrLinux> ciscosurfer: flashplayer 9 bugs causing the FF crashes or whole system locks up
[06:29] <soundray> elias_: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[06:29] <Quintin> Anytime I make a call on skype, my computer hangs for 10-20 seconds... and is totally unresponsive.  any ideas?
[06:29] <Roach`> Has anyone had problems with Edgy booting on battery?
[06:29] <Djainette> ciscosurfer: crashes with flash player 9
[06:29] <elias_> thanks soundray
[06:30] <IVBela> i thought the add/remove thing is the graphical version of apt-get.....
[06:30] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: hmm.  Crashes or lockups haven't happened for me ever since they released the full version of Flash 9
[06:30] <wheels3572> How do I fix this error Msg?   Failed to mount "Xubuntu 6.10 i386".
[06:30] <wheels3572> Failed to determine the mount point for /dev/hdc.
[06:30] <Roach`> Well, booting on an Inspiron notebook on a battery. Every time i try to boot i get an error on grub
[06:30] <IVBela> but it didn't have gparted on the list.... getting it with apt now, thanks
[06:30] <Djainette> ciscosurfer: it happens to me very often
[06:30] <unop> IVBela,  not really .. it has a subset of applications you can choose from, it then uses apt to install them if you wish
[06:30] <ciscosurfer> Djainette: sorry to hear that :-(
[06:30] <youkilldkennedy> IVBela: Where do you find apt?
[06:30] <unop> set/subset
[06:31] <IVBela> youkilldkennedy: i mean apt-get
[06:31] <PwcrLinux> Ciscosurfer: the version 9 r31 (notice the candidate release nbr) just bugs
[06:31] <soundray> elias_: see also http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191205 -- it's outdated, but has some generally useful info
[06:31] <thekidrio> youkilldkennedy: apt is installed with the base system
[06:31] <IVBela> unop: oh, thanks
[06:31] <youkilldkennedy> IVBela: Yeah, where do you find it?
[06:31] <IVBela> youkilldkennedy: it is in ubuntu ^^;
[06:31] <lolman> !apt
[06:31] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[06:31] <Quintin> No one else here using skype? :-\
[06:31] <IVBela> just open a terminal window, and run it
[06:31] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, so basically my problem is trying to get beryl functioning...people had told me that the nvidia beta driver would work and since installing, I just created another problem with x not loading every startup
[06:32] <thekidrio> pah skype
[06:32] <lolman> Quintin: it's a useless port
[06:32] <thekidrio> get a 200 dollar digium card and trixbox
[06:32] <Quintin> lolman: ??
[06:32] <[BTF] Chm0d> have you downloaded the 9746 drivers?
[06:32] <coNP> Quintin: I don't know the reason
[06:32] <IVBela> Oni-Dracula: have You tried the guides on the beryl wiki page? i could install beryl fine from there
[06:32] <coNP> Quintin: my computer did that as well, now not any more
[06:32] <lolman> Quintin: I had nothing but problems with Skype for Linux
[06:32] <Quintin> Oni-Dracula: #ubuntu-effects.  lsmod | grep nvidia
[06:32] <youkilldkennedy> Sorry, very new. I don't even know how to run a program through terminal.
[06:32] <Quintin> coNP: wtf you sending me messages for
[06:32] <Quintin> lolman: worked fine for me before, but now I'm having issues
[06:33] <[BTF] Chm0d> wondering what your exact error was in xorg
[06:33] <IVBela> youkilldkennedy: just type in the command, like You did in dos :)
[06:33] <Djainette> PwcrLinux: Do you know where I could find the flash player 7 ?
[06:33] <PwcrLinux> Ciscosurfer: open the FF and type in url box  about:plugins  look down bottom what you have now?
[06:33] <Roach`> Has anyone had a problem booting Edgy on a laptop while it is only using battery power? Grub seems to throw an error my way whenever i am not using AC power to boot my laptop.
[06:33] <coNP> Quintin: sorry I thought you were asking
[06:33] <youkilldkennedy> IVBela: Yes, but what is the command?
[06:33] <thekidrio> Roach`: what error?
[06:33] <rogier> i would like to find out if i have the right video card and driver. How can i check this?
[06:33] <Roach`> crap...i had it written down
[06:33] <thekidrio> hehe
[06:34] <PwcrLinux> Djainette: it's gone or somewhere in server might have back up file
[06:34] <shatrat> rogier, well, lspci|grep VGA will tell you your card
[06:34] <thekidrio> also does the error come after you have selected the kernel and started to boot from grub
[06:34] <coNP> IVBela: join #ubuntu-hu if you are interested
[06:34] <Roach`> it starts to boot from grub
[06:34] <thekidrio> or does it come before you get a chance to even load grub
[06:34] <LycanNYC-work> !vmware
[06:34] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[06:34] <mwe> Roach`: it boots on battery here
[06:34] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: I have Flash 9.0 r31 (but not lockups yet -- maybe I'm just lucky)
[06:34] <thekidrio> ok in grub if you are able select boot options i think its f6
[06:34] <shatrat> rogier, and looking in your xorg.conf at the Device section will tell you the driver youre using, or at least the one youre trying to use if its failing
[06:34] <Roach`> and then it fails...but the odd thing is, if i plug in the laptop, start the PC, and then unplug it, it works fine
[06:34] <thekidrio> erase the quiet splash line
[06:34] <thekidrio> gives you more info
[06:35] <Roach`> f6, erase quiet splash line
[06:35] <youkilldkennedy> What is the command to open programs in terminal?
[06:35] <thekidrio> yah
[06:35] <niyi> does someone know how to switch on your sound support
[06:35] <youkilldkennedy> I must be missing something here.
[06:35] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, hmm 9746 drivers? latest nvidia beta drivers are 9625 i thought?
[06:35] <thekidrio> lets you see the system loading
[06:35] <Roach`> ok lemme go and do that real quick and see whats going on
[06:35] <thekidrio> better debug info available
[06:35] <[BTF] Chm0d> 9746 Oni-Dracula
[06:35] <PwcrLinux> ciscosurfer: Hmmm, you should wait till they fix the libflashplayer.so when they will be avaiable to download..
[06:35] <Roach`> and off we go!
[06:35] <Djainette> youkilldkennedy: what are you trying to do ?
[06:35] <unop> youkilldkennedy,  each program has a particular command .. e.g. nautilus is opened by using the nautilus command, firefox by firefox, etc
[06:35] <youkilldkennedy> Run apt-get
[06:36] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: why do I need wait again?  I'm not having any issues with Flash...
[06:36] <Djainette> youkilldkennedy: sudo apt-get install yourprogrammname
[06:36] <mwe> niyi: make sure the right driver is loaded and unmute and turn up the volumes with alsamixergui
[06:36] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[06:36] <lubos> hello, so i have installed g++, now i compile a small console app but when i want to run it, nothing will happend :( have you idea wheres the problem?!
[06:36] <youkilldkennedy> Djainette: Thanks
[06:36] <Vigo> I am getting fresh downloads now, I thank you kindly for the help and assistance.
[06:36] <PwcrLinux> ciscosurfer: what ubuntu version you have now?
[06:36] <Djainette> youkilldkennedy: or synaptic, it's easier
[06:36] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: 6.10
[06:36] <rogier> oke how can i check if my card is good for beryl/ edgy?
[06:36] <niyi> thats jsut it mwe i'm trying to isntall the RC97 driver
[06:37] <[BTF] Chm0d> rogier: glxinfo in console
[06:37] <niyi> and it says i need to swithc on the support
[06:37] <[BTF] Chm0d> look for direct rendering
[06:37] <shatrat> rogier, ask someone? basically if its not really old, or a relatively new ATI, it should be good
[06:37] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, awesome, I'll try installing those
[06:37] <PwcrLinux> ciscosurfer: mines is breezy I moved the libflashplayer.so to back up folder till they fix the problem..
[06:37] <[BTF] Chm0d> k
[06:37] <[BTF] Chm0d> gl
[06:37] <mwe> niyi: I'm not sure what that means. you should ask crimsun if he's around
[06:37] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: why are you running Breezy?
[06:38] <lubos> anyone? :|
[06:38] <IVBela> one more thing: if You had a secondary hdd, and wanted to partition it to 2 equal pieces, what would You do: 2 primary partitions, or one primary and one extended with a logical drive? *can't decide*
[06:38] <Djainette> so now, mounting DVD-R... Anyone having trouble mounting blank DVD-R ?
[06:38] <PwcrLinux> ciscosurfer: I am on the lappy
[06:38] <ciscosurfer> PwcrLinux: why can't you run Dapper or Edgy on your laptop?
[06:38] <Quintin> Djainette: uhm.  I think that's impossible.
[06:38] <Quintin> IVBela: 2 primary
[06:38] <IVBela> ok
[06:39] <geo-> what's the command for installing a .deb file?
[06:39] <Djainette> Quintin: I used to have a desktop icon when I inserted blank DVD-R. Now, I can't burn, growisofs just waits for ages and does nothing
[06:39] <Roach`> Man, some days, ill never understand why my laptop does this
[06:39] <Quintin> geo-: dpkg -i mydeb.deb
[06:39] <youkilldkennedy> sudo apt-get clean
[06:39] <Roach`> Now it works fine
[06:39] <Quintin> geo-: man dpkg
[06:39] <youkilldkennedy> errr
[06:39] <furryballs> I just downloaded a file from the ubuntu forums and it was php code. I think it's called "unparsed". Anyways, I'm wondering if that's a security issue and I should report this by making a thread?
[06:40] <geo-> thanks man
[06:40] <IVBela> !reiserfs
[06:40] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[06:40] <PwcrLinux> ciscosurfer: I don't need it, I prefer keep breezy,, right now the kernel need have fix,, when I ran FF and xgine DVD player have spikes CPU at 100. it;s now version 10 of kernel..
[06:40] <IVBela> !xfs
[06:40] <ubotu> xfs: X font server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 53 kB, installed size 192 kB
[06:40] <Quintin> 'notoriously long to mount'?  wtf?
[06:40] <Roach`> Maybe i shook the gremlins out of my PC or something, but now even with a full shutdown/restart unplugged from AC, and Grub boots correctly now
[06:40] <Quintin> !xfs
[06:40] <Quintin> !ufs
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ufs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <IVBela> i only know ext3 and swap (not counting the ms stuff...)
[06:41] <Quintin> !jfs
[06:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:41] <Agrajag> Quintin: Have you timed a mount operation on a large reiserfs partition?
[06:41] <PwcrLinux> brb taking squirt into bowl
[06:41] <Kaso> where is the "correct" place to define http_proxy for apt etc? ive seen various different places from different people
[06:41] <Agrajag> I swear most of my boot time is waiting for my 200 GB media storage drive to mount
[06:41] <NET||abuse> hey all, i've gota server running in a datacenter,, now i have a static ip on it, and never setup anything for resolve, but it's been working for 2 months just fine, all of a sudden, my mail queue starts backing up, then on the command line i do dig -t MX gmail.com and it can't contact any dns servers.. how do i re-request dns server info from the network? or deal with these kinds of dns problems?
[06:42] <Quintin> Agrajag: no.. have you?
[06:42] <jfanaian_> How can I verify if my video card drivers are installed correctly?
[06:42] <Roach`> jfanaian_: what type of card? Nvidia or ATI?
[06:42] <IVBela> gparted working like a charm
[06:42] <jfanaian_> ATI
[06:42] <Agrajag> Quintin: mounting that drive takes at least 10 seconds, that's a long time when you just want to boot up
[06:42] <Quintin> Agrajag: boo
[06:43] <Agrajag> maybe there's some mount parameter that would speed things up, but I don't know what it is
[06:43] <p0rnb0t> rg
[06:43] <Quintin> Agrajag: don't get me started on computing in *my day*
[06:43] <Roach`> jfanaian_: open up a terminal window, type fglrxinfo
[06:43] <josh_> what is the switch to make a date output in mm/dd/yyyy format?
[06:43] <Quintin> josh_: it's "man date"
[06:44] <josh_> i did a date %D but it didn't work
[06:44] <josh_> Quintin: yeah... i looked there... didn't help
[06:44] <Agrajag> Quintin: It's 2007 and we don't have to load things from tape or cards anymore. Other filesystems are a lot faster, I just use reiserfs because it's the most reliable in my experience
[06:44] <PwcrLinux> ahhh, I'm back :)
[06:44] <Quintin> josh_: date +%D
[06:44] <Roach`> jfanaian_: it should return something like OpenGL version string: Yadda yadda yadda
[06:44] <josh_> +
[06:44] <josh_> thanks
[06:44] <jfanaian_> Roach`: it does, here's the output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5432/
[06:45] <Quintin> Agrajag: oh really.  I've found ext3 to be most reliable... reiser is faster for some things though
[06:45] <oni> stupid question, how do I kill the xserver without it automatically restarting?
[06:45] <Roach`> jfanaian_: you downloaded the drivers direct from ATI right?
[06:45] <jfanaian_> Yeah
[06:45] <sedrake> how do i isntall my kernel source?
[06:45] <Agrajag> Quintin: Every time I have used ext3, it has come back to bite me
[06:45] <Roach`> jfanaian_: hang on a sec, lemme run it on my machine real quick. That looks right to me
[06:46] <HymnToLife> sedrake, why do you want to do that ?
[06:46] <Agrajag> Quintin: I don't know why, but evetually I will always lose the filessytem somehow, and reiser never did that to me
[06:46] <sedrake> HymnToLife:  FATAL you need to install the Kernel Source for your running kernel
[06:46] <HymnToLife> sedrake, what are you trying to do ?
[06:46] <Quintin> sedrake: apt-get install inux-source? sheesh
[06:46] <Kajin> Is there a place where I can boost the sound of my microphone? The volume is really, really low right now.
[06:46] <sedrake> HymnToLife: install gspcac webcam drivers
[06:46] <HymnToLife> Quintin, no
[06:47] <HymnToLife> !headers | sedrake
[06:47] <ubotu> sedrake: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[06:47] <Quintin> HymnToLife: ehm?
[06:47] <HymnToLife> Quintin, that's not what he needs
[06:47] <Roach`> jfanaian_: yeah, that looks right
[06:47] <tont> sorry guys...i have a problem....why on kmix i can't view an option of my microphone?? i view only pcm and master..
[06:47] <Quintin> HymnToLife: I quote directly "12:45 < sedrake> how do i isntall my kernel source?"
[06:47] <AlienX> is there a way to get glxgears to post fps in ubuntu? It's always done it by default in a terminal in all the other distros I've ever used but for some reason, not in ubuntu.
[06:48] <HymnToLife> Quintin, I repeat, that's not what he needs
[06:48] <Quintin> Kajin: Adjust capture in sound app of your choice, or do 'alsamixer' in a terminal and hit <tab> to adjust capture
[06:48] <Quintin> HymnToLife: That's what he asked for.
[06:48] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Oh well, then I don't know what my problem is... I'm trying to install World of Warcraft and when I run it all the text is garbage (blocks that run across the center), the background doesn't load and after a few seconds my whole PC locks up
[06:48] <sedrake> Quintin: HymnToLife: now it works when i did as ubotu said
[06:49] <Roach`> jfanaian_: running wine, correct?
[06:49] <jfanaian_> Roach`:  Also, when I try to get Beryl running and I start my session as XGL it loads with a white screen and only the cursor shows
[06:49] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Yeah wine
[06:49] <Quintin> AlienX: yes it has.  no idea whyubuntu is diff.
[06:49] <Roach`> jfanaian_: beryl is outside the scope of my knowledge currently
[06:49] <jfanaian_> Roach`: I was assuming it was a video card problem because both of those thigns where messing up
[06:49] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Thats fine, I understand :)
[06:49] <Quintin> jfanaian_: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_and_update_World_Of_Warcraft_with_wine
[06:49] <benjamin> has anyone had success running audible manager under wine?
[06:49] <Roach`> jfanaian_: what build are you using currently?
[06:49] <AlienX> Quintin, it's driving me nuts heh. I just got a new 7900GT and I'd like to see how it does
[06:50] <Quintin> AlienX: You are concerned about how fast your fancy pants gpu can draw spinning gears.  riiight. :p
[06:50] <jfanaian_> Roach`: wine-0.9.30
[06:50] <Dr_willis> AlienX,  thers some silly command line option to glxgears to make it show the fps
[06:50] <unop> -showfps
[06:50] <unop> ?
[06:50] <Roach`> jfanaian_: hehe, I meant ubuntu, sorry, needed to be a little clearer there
[06:50] <Agrajag> yeah, it's something like -iunderstandthatthisisnotabenchmark or something
[06:51] <unop> :))
[06:51] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Oh its Edgy,... I think 6.10? How do I find out?
[06:51] <AlienX> Quintin, hehe yeah well, what can I say :P
[06:51] <Roach`> jfanaian_: make sure you are good to go with the card by using this guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide
[06:51] <AlienX> unop, Warrning: unknown parameter: -showfps
[06:52] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Oh I remember that being the first guide I tried... after I got through with it ubuntu wouldn't boot, lol. It would load and a black screen would show isntead of the login... I'll try it again though
[06:52] <unop> AlienX,  -printfps maybe?
[06:52] <Cyrus25801> hey guys. I seriously need help. I have a usb portable 250GB hdd and i need to use it between both windows and linux. I can't use NTFS for obvious reasons and fat32 only supports 32GB partitions. Any suggestions?
[06:52] <shwag> so the new kernel breaks nvidia, eh?
[06:52] <Quintin> Cyrus25801: ext3 with the ext2 driver for windows
[06:52] <AlienX> unop, voila! thank you
[06:52] <Roach`> jfanaian_: then make sure that wine is configured properly and you have the fonts installed for wow as well. Might want to look here
[06:53] <AlienX> unop, 78051 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15610.066 FPS :D
[06:53] <thekidrio> Cyrus25801:  ntfs-3g is pretty good man
[06:53] <mjr> Cyrus25801, Quintin's option is a valid one, but actually fat32 supports larger partitions, you just have to create the filesystem in Linux (Windows restricts you from doing larger ones)
[06:53] <Roach`> jfanaian_: ack, hit enter too soon
[06:53] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Hrm.. I haven't gone through installing any fonts. How would I go about finding out what fonts I need, and downloading/installing them?
[06:53] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Oh lol, I completely missed the last sentence too =\
[06:53] <thekidrio> or you can set up 32 gb partitions and lvm them into one drive
[06:53] <Roach`> jfanaian_: the only other thing that I can think of that might be easier than wine (sadly), is to use cedega
[06:53] <Quintin> I only get 850 fps.  boo
[06:53] <unop> AlienX,  heh, thats not a true benchmark tho
[06:53] <boni_> When i run fsck on my /home partition it reports buffer i/o error contiguously for some locations but everyting is running fine what is the problem cn someone help me is it a hard drive problem??
[06:54] <AlienX> unop, hehe, i know, but it's always amusing :)
[06:54] <jfanaian_> Roach`: Yeah I've thought about it... I'll try a little more if not I'll give cedega a try... thats the one with the monthly membership, right?
[06:54] <PwcrLinux> bbl
[06:54] <shwag> How do I get my nvidia working again ?
[06:54] <unop> AlienX,  :)
[06:54] <Quintin> shwag: how did you install nvidia driver?
[06:54] <CrakeHunter> hello! i set up a complete temperature and fanspeed monitor - it shows the rpm correctly with gnome sensors-applet. now id like to control those. how do i do that?
[06:54] <Cyrus25801> mjr: if i create larger partitions wont there be a problem in windows (or data coruption)

[06:55] <jumburrito> does anyone know how I can play music from my samba network server on my Ubuntu with Amarok or XMMS?
[06:55] <Roach`> jfanaian_: read this thread too, it might get you up and running with wine and WoW

[06:55] <jfanaian_> Thanks for your help though... I really appreciate it
[06:56] <jumburrito> would I need to install samba on Ubuntu for smbmount?
[06:56] <NaPsTeR_> wat antivirus/antuispyware program should i use?
[06:56] <Quintin> Cyrus25801: ext3!
[06:56] <shatrat> NaPsTeR_, none
[06:56] <NaPsTeR_> y?
[06:56] <Quintin> jumburrito: I'm not sure if it's available on linux.  it works super on FreeBSD though!
[06:56] <tont> help please
[06:56] <tont> :*
[06:56] <jorgp> what package is available to view chm files?
[06:56] <Quintin> NaPsTeR_: Such things aren't needed, unless you're an idiot.
[06:56] <Kajin> Quintin: How do I turn things on and off in alsamixer?
[06:56] <jumburrito> my samba server is running Fedora Core 6
[06:56] <Quintin> jorgp: Internet Explorer.
[06:56] <NaPsTeR_> y?
[06:56] <Quintin> Kajin: 'm' key.

[06:57] <shatrat> NaPsTeR_, no
[06:57] <Quintin> NaPsTeR_: Yes, if you're an idiot.  You have to be really dumb to get something like that installed on linux.  Or alternatively, really smart.
[06:58] <NaPsTeR_> ok

[07:02] <Quintin> killown: cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you some stuff
[07:02] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: if you already have beryl installed just scroll down a bit and put what this howto tells you in xorg.conf there are 3 lines to add
[07:02] <shatrat> NaPsTeR_, thats really strange.  Sounds like something is wrong with your xorg or your drivers if glxinfo crashes X
[07:02] <killown> vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
[07:02] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, k
[07:02] <NaPsTeR_> i also thought so

[07:06] <jiminy> I used ndis and played with that for ever it seems now it works

[07:08] <kupesoft> youkilldkennedy: Same output as mine?  Paste"uname -a"...
[07:08] <kupesoft> youkilldkennedy: That's odd?  Does "dmesg" tell you anything?
[07:08] <modisch> Anyone have any idea how i can get DRI running again in Xgl?
[07:08] <modisch> Since updating, I'm unable to find DRI with my fglrx drivers in Xgl

[07:16] <tobias_> and... it worked =) but is there no way to login @ login screen? im newb so pls dont laugh if this is a gay question :)
[07:16] <Nukeador> sacater, under ubuntu?
[07:16] <Dr_willis> Cyrus25801,  you got it partitioned how you like it? could use qtparted to manage it..
[07:16] <sacater> Nukeador: ubuntu with xfce ported on to[p
[07:17] <Nukeador> sacater, how do you know you are sending info to a web?
[07:17] <sacater> wireshark/ethereal

[07:17] <Nukeador> aha
[07:18] <Nukeador> and what are you sending?
[07:18] <kitche> sacater: you sure it's not just a broadcast?
[07:18] <sacater> i left it on while at work, and it picked up 5 hits
[07:18] <sacater> all it said was packets
[07:18] <Dr_willis> Cyrus25801,  the ext3 filesystem reserves 5% for 'system ussage'
[07:18] <sacater> one was to ad.doubleclick.net
[07:18] <Dr_willis> Cyrus25801,  use 'sudo fdisk -l'  to see what its there..
[07:18] <kitche> sacater: well packets can be anything ah ad.doubleclick.net you use firefox and left it open didn't you?
[07:18] <ltk05> sacater: are you sure about that?
[07:18] <Nukeador> maybe are the firefox live bookmarks
[07:19] <sacater> nope
[07:19] <sacater> firefox not left open

[07:20] <Dr_willis> Cyrus25801,  of course you could be getting confused by rounding errors. :)  but fdisk -l will show the partitions, so if its all used.. then its all used..
[07:20] <SDBolts21> hi, any one good with Windows (NTFS) file permissions?  I came from that world, I do see the power of linux file permission as to windows?  Am I wrong?

[07:25] <likwidtek> and I don't have to listen to any annoying KVm beeps AND I CAN TRANSFER CLIPBOARDS!!!
[07:25] <feross> is there a way to have du just output the directories right under pwd and not recursive? man says -S should do it but it still spits out everything under the pwd recusively..
[07:25] <likwidtek> good times.
[07:25] <Psi-Jack> Aha. 6.10, cool
[07:25] <K`zan> Folks I seem to have lost the nvidia drivers over the updates yesterday, nvidia-glx is there but I have no screens if I try to startx.  ANY suggestions appreciated!
[07:25] <Psi-Jack> Sanne: Thanks. ;)
[07:25] <Sanne> Psi-Jack: you're welcome :)
[07:25] <alecjw> hi. does anyone know what device ALSA uses, because it seems to have incorrect permissons
[07:26] <Psi-Jack> I just got an email about 7.04 :)
[07:26] <Sebboh> Hi all.  I need help setting my DISPLAY variable.  I'm ssh'd into the machine running X.  I'd like to do sudo xhost + .. But it says 'unable to open display ":0" ...
[07:26] <Psi-Jack> Why I was curious what stone age mine might've been in. But 7.04 I know isn't out yet.
[07:26] <modisch> Ok, it seems like when i load into Xgl, fglrx is able to handle DRI on display :0.0, but not :1.0
[07:26] <modisch> and Xgl is on :1.0
[07:26] <Dr_willis> Sebboh,  you dont need to  that stuff when using SSH,  (try ssh -X)
[07:26] <alecjw> Psi-Jack, 6.10 is current, 6.06.1 is lts and 7.04 is testing
[07:27] <Dr_willis> Sebboh,  and you need to run the xhost + stuff on the local machine,, befor ya ssh over :) (if you must doit that way)
[07:27] <orz^> Hi can someone help me with Ragnarok Online with Wine or Cedega ?
[07:27] <Dr_willis> Sebboh,  and i dont think you want to do 'sudo xhost +' in any case.
[07:27] <J-_> Dr_willis: #winehq
[07:27] <likwidtek> anyone have a bookmark handy for a SMB guide on setting up unauthenticated file sharing?
[07:28] <AndrewB> Hmm how do I change the default boot splash screen?
[07:28] <Sebboh> Dr_willis, Actually, I didn't say what I was doing. =)  Yes, I need to set up synergy on the local machine, before trying to use it remotely..  Unfortunately, I don't have a keyboard on that machine.  Ssh is the only option, until I get synergy configured.
[07:28] <tobias_> kitche_: well but ^^ i dont see tha thing... i had one working system.. (live-cd..lets call it cd-a) then 1time grub didnt booted anymore.. so i did fixmbr with w_xp (what a shame) and repaired wXP 2.. now only wXP booted.. so i booted from cd-a and reputted grub as mbr.. i drove down from cd-a... started pc.. and now i got ubuntu 2.6.17.11-generic (the one i had @ beginning) and ubuntu 2.6.17.10-generic (another one and i dont kno
[07:28] <tobias_> w where it comes from) but they both boot the first Ubuntu.. and i know because they use the nvidia drivers
[07:28] <Psi-Jack> alecjw: Right. ;)
[07:28] <b_52GM> any one know a soft under linux to record all what happen on the screen (record = video record ) ?
[07:28] <AndrewB> b_52GM: vnc2swf

[07:29] <Dr_willis> Sebboh,  with syngery - I do recall an issue with trying to run syngery , while ssh'd in.. it ran it on the local machine.. which really screwed things up. I ended up running syngery as a service I belive.
[07:29] <b_52GM> AndrewB,  thanks
[07:29] <likwidtek> http://eightpence.com/install-latest-synergy-on-ubuntu/  this solves the problem Dr. Willis
[07:29] <likwidtek> I had to install SSH logout and edit the Default file as root
[07:29] <likwidtek> then it worked just fine.
[07:29] <Sebboh> dr_willis, or anyone, back to the original question...  What is my display variable supposed to be set to to use xhost + ?
[07:29] <Psi-Jack> Hmm, I had no problems with synergy, myself.
[07:29] <Sebboh> thanks lid.

[07:30] <NakedDrummer> _well but ^^ i dont see tha thing... i had one working system installed with livecd (lets call it cd-a) then 1time grub didnt booted anymore.. so i did fixmbr with w_xp (what a shame) and repaired wXP 2.. now only wXP booted.. so i booted from cd-a and reputted grub as mbr.. i drove down from cd-a... started pc.. and now i got ubuntu 2.6.17.11-generic (the one i had @ beginning) and ubuntu 2.6.17.10-generic (another one and i
[07:30] <NakedDrummer> dont know where it comes from) but they both boot the first Ubuntu.. and i know because they use the nvidia drivers
[07:30] <likwidtek> I didnt have problems but there are some dependancy issues.  That guide helped tho also a link on there that shows you how to autostart it using GDM
[07:30] <Sebboh> hmm, tried that...
[07:30] <likwidtek> good stuff
[07:30] <K`zan> Folks I seem to have lost the nvidia drivers over the updates yesterday, nvidia-glx is there but I have no screens if I try to startx.  ANY suggestions appreciated!

[07:32] <youkilldkennedy> This doesn't make any sense.... why can I not download any packages?
[07:32] <J03> hi, there is a expecific channel... that talk about openoffice issues under ubuntu ?
[07:32] <youkilldkennedy> It sits at this: 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (195.248.90.35)] 
[07:32] <Nukeador> I have a problem with the login screen. When I start Ubuntu everything go fine until the login screen, which i get a black screen. I can only log into the system in recovery mode and then run /etc/init.d/gdm start but doing this i get a HAL initialize error... any idea?
[07:32] <xJasonx> I have STG4000 [3D Prophet Kyro Series]  for Video. It does not seem to have been detected correctly in Ubuntu. I have searched for drivers but must not be looking in the right place. Can someone point me in the right direction to get my Video working as it should?
[07:32] <SDBolts21> hi, any one good with Windows (NTFS) file permissions?  I came from that world, I do see the power of linux file permission as to windows?  Am I wrong?
[07:33] <K`zan> Jones: will give that a try, thanks!!!!!!!
[07:33] <Dr_willis> Sebboh,  the xhost + line. lets the remote box run stuff on the local machine.. You really dont want that.. You want to run syngery remotely, on the remote box. could use its display variable of its.ip:0.0  perhaps.
[07:33] <likwidtek> firefox tabs dont work like I am used to
[07:33] <likwidtek> weird
[07:33] <NakedDrummer> anyone got an idea about my problem?
[07:33] <likwidtek> oh nm! now they do.  FF just needed an update I guess
[07:33] <Dr_willis> Sebboh,  i found a guide on setting up syntery to run with gdm. :)
[07:33] <Kyl3> hi all, i have a Dell Inspiron 1501, wondering if there is a issue with its hardware and Ubuntu 6.06. It does not pick up my Wireless or my hard-drive. Any Ideas?

[07:35] <NakedDrummer> hello? :)
[07:36] <alecjw> hi. does anyone know what device ALSA uses, because it seems to have incorrect permissons
[07:36] <K`zan> Jones: Worked, now I can get at getting the nvidia driver back!  Thanks ***VERY*** much!
[07:36] <NakedDrummer> i had one working system installed with livecd (lets call it cd-a) then 1time grub didnt booted anymore.. so i did fixmbr with w_xp (what a shame) and repaired wXP 2.. now only wXP booted.. so i booted from cd-a and reputted grub as mbr.. i drove down from cd-a... started pc.. and now i got ubuntu 2.6.17.11-generic (the one i had @ beginning) and ubuntu 2.6.17.10-generic (another one and i dont know where it comes from) but th
[07:36] <NakedDrummer> ey both boot the first Ubuntu.. and i know because they use the nvidia drivers
[07:36] <unop> alecjw,  it can use any -- check with the asoundconf command
[07:36] <xJasonx> STG4000 [3D Prophet Kyro Series]  is not working in Ubuntu. Please help
[07:36] <likwidtek> So I am trying to setup a SAMBA share but do not want user name and password authentication.  Is there a guide that you guys know of to easily set this up?  Basically looking for the ubuntu equiv of window's "simple file sharing"
[07:37] <unop> likwidtek,  allow guest access
[07:37] <likwidtek> unop I didn't see anything like that in the GUI is that in the conf ?
[07:37] <NakedDrummer> if someone can read this pls tell me ^^
[07:37] <Dr_willis> likwidtek,  the 'using samba' BOOK is aviliable for download from the repos..
[07:37] <Dr_willis> and it has all sorts of examples and details.
[07:37] <alecjw> unop, itj ust tells me the names (eg ICH5). i need to know the devicei n /dev/
[07:37] <kitche> NakedDrummer: yes
[07:37] <unop> likwidtek, you'll probably need to edit the smb.conf yourself
[07:38] <likwidtek> unop:  thanks
[07:38] <NakedDrummer> i had one working system installed with livecd (lets call it cd-a) then 1time grub didnt booted anymore.. so i did fixmbr with w_xp (what a shame) and repaired wXP 2.. now only wXP booted.. so i booted from cd-a and reputted grub as mbr.. i drove down from cd-a... started pc.. and now i got ubuntu 2.6.17.11-generic (the one i had @ beginning) and ubuntu 2.6.17.10-generic (another one and i dont know where it comes from) but th
[07:38] <NakedDrummer> ey both boot the first Ubuntu.. and i know because they use the nvidia drivers
[07:38] <Dr_willis> yea - its about a 5 line entry to add to the smb.conf file. (then restart the samba service)
[07:38] <unop> alecjw,  how did you conclude that it is a permissions issue?
[07:38] <unop> Dr_willis,  errm, its a little dangerous to assume that his smb.conf is exactly like yours
[07:39] <alecjw> unop, yes. if i use ALSA as root, it works. as a noraml suier, it says it count open resouerce for writing
[07:39] <aalhamad> foo2oak is disconnected any chance i can get an alternative driver for my printer? plz help cause im setting up my printer ..cause i search on http://foo2oak.rkkda.com/ and it was said foo2oak: a linux printer driver for OAKT protocol (e.g. HP Color LaserJet 1500)
[07:39] <cpk1> NakedDrummer: is there supposed to be a problem somewhere in there?
[07:39] <kitche> NakedDrummer: the kernel versions are different though if you look which means you can have both at the same time
[07:39] <Dr_willis> unop,  the default samba.conf i saw last.. was like.. all comments.. :)
[07:39] <likwidtek> hehe
[07:40] <likwidtek> jesus christ synergy is handy.
[07:40] <likwidtek> wow
[07:40] <unop> alecjw,  asoundconf list  - lists the various devices (i think) .. you can set either one of them as the default -- asoundconf set-default-card <cardname>
[07:40] <likwidtek> sorry I just really appreciate this tool.
[07:40] <alecjw> unop, but i need to change thier permissions.....
[07:40] <Dr_willis> likwidtek,  heh heh - you were one of those kids that was easially enterained right? :)
[07:41] <unop> Dr_willis,  smb.conf* .. by default its all comments yes .. but he's been messing with the "GUI" (as he says) so it's likely it has changed
[07:41] <Sanne> alecjw: your user needs to be in the audio group
[07:41] <NakedDrummer> kitche: and is that good or bad? it just pisses me that there are 2 "things" in the list which boot to the same OS just with another kernel
[07:41] <alecjw> Sanne, how do i add myself?
[07:41] <unop> alecjw,  i think you need to set the right card as default .. rule that out before permissions
[07:41] <xJasonx> I am having problems installing a video driver. Can anyone help?
[07:41] <NakedDrummer> kitche: can i delete the .10?
[07:41] <likwidtek> Dr_willis:  it's a gift.  This way... I am rarely disappointed.  But seriously dude... this is awesome.
[07:41] <Sanne> alecjw: first lets see if you are: in a terminal type: froups
[07:41] <Dr_willis> NakedDrummer,  it can save your Backside to have those 2 entries in there...
[07:41] <Sanne> alecjw: sorry, groups
[07:42] <aalhamad> i know it is very hard to  solve that.. but plz help me out if you can
[07:42] <Dr_willis> NakedDrummer,  set the default to what you want. and leave it alone? or edit the grub config and comment out what you dont want.
[07:42] <alecjw> Sanne, it says alec audio admin
[07:42] <cbx33> if i edit menu.1st and device.map in grub
[07:42] <kitche> NakedDrummer: yes you can
[07:42] <cbx33> do i have to reinsstll
[07:42] <cbx33> grub
[07:42] <cbx33> ?
[07:42] <Dr_willis> cbx33,  no.
[07:42] <NakedDrummer> say hmm dr_willis: but how did the 2nd 1 came in?
[07:42] <youkilldkennedy> Dr_Willis: It turned out I needed to run 'sudo apt-get update'
[07:43] <Sanne> alecjw: ok, then you are already in the audio group, so it's not that.
[07:43] <NakedDrummer> i just booted with a live-cd
[07:43] <Dr_willis> NakedDrummer,  the grub/system - keeps a history entry of all the old kernels installed..  and adds a entry for each one to the config.
[07:43] <alecjw> Sanne, any other ideas?
[07:43] <kitche> NakedDrummer: you always had that entry just that you never seen it before
[07:43] <Ogredude> It's kind of interesting that Ubuntu is only one CD
[07:43] <NakedDrummer> buuh =)
[07:43] <NakedDrummer> okay
[07:43] <NakedDrummer> so i comment it out with #?
[07:43] <Ogredude> unless I'm totally missing something
[07:43] <exs> i need an wav to mp3 converter. does anyone know one?
[07:43] <Dr_willis> its a 'failsafe'
[07:43] <Dr_willis> NakedDrummer,  id suggest reading the grub docs.. befor you even touch the stuff.
[07:43] <NakedDrummer> any way to comment out from a to b?
[07:44] <alecjw> exs, SoundConverter
[07:44] <Dr_willis> the grub homepage has somne well done docs/guides
[07:44] <shavierr> Can ubuntu run on an external usb HDD without the need of a driver?
[07:44] <Sanne> alecjw: try what unop said (and make sure nothing alse is open that accesses the sound device(.
[07:44] <NakedDrummer> k
[07:44] <unop> alecjw,  i've had this problem too -- the problem was that ubuntu would choose at random a card to use at startup, if it didnt choose the right one, i'd get no sound and a few error messages, once i set the default card, the problem went away
[07:44] <cbx33> thanks Dr_willis
[07:44] <cbx33> we used to have to didn;t we?
[07:44] <Sebboh> My ubuntu system doesn't seem to have gdm installed.  What is installed instead? O_o
[07:44] <NakedDrummer> and how to comment out from a2b?
[07:45] <aalhamad> http://www.linuxprinting.org/edit_printer.cgi?make=HP&model=Color%20LaserJet%201500&newentry=1--->> there is no software driver
[07:45] <unop> Sebboh,  do you use kubuntu?
[07:45] <Dr_willis> NakedDrummer,  the grub config file has a very straight forward layout. BUt theres a lot of 'little things' to watch out for,
[07:45] <alecjw> unop, so asoundconf set default ICH5?
[07:45] <aalhamad> so problem cannot be solved..
[07:45] <Sebboh> unop, yes
[07:45] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: haven't heard from you in awhile did you get everything going ok?
[07:45] <youkilldkennedy> How do I turn automatic handling of networks in GNOME off?
[07:45] <unop> Sebboh,  then it's KDM
[07:45] <Sebboh> oh.  duh, ok.  Thanks.
[07:45] <shavierr> Can ubuntu run on an external usb HDD without the need of a driver?
[07:45] <unop> alecjw,  errm, asounconf help .. tells you which subcommand to use -- i think it's set-default-card
[07:46] <Dr_willis> shavierr,  it needs some work/tweakign to get that to work...
[07:46] <Dr_willis> shavierr,  the ubuntu hacks book - had a chapter on just that topic.
[07:46] <joe_> #kubuntu
[07:46] <whyameye> I ran the updates on Dapper, which upgraded the Kernel. Now Gnome doesn't load successfully. When I boot from the old Kernel it is fine. Is this a known problem or am I having a unique problem?
[07:46] <aalhamad> foo2oak is disconnected any chance i can get an alternative driver for my printer? plz help cause im setting up my printer .. thanks :)
[07:46] <Dr_willis> whyameye,  known problem.
[07:46] <a||ey> what could be wrong if fdisk -l lists a /dev/hdc1 but ubuntu doesn't see it?
[07:47] <Dr_willis> a||ey,  its not mounted, or no entry in the fstab file.
[07:47] <unop> shavierr,  if the computer allows booting from a USB drive, yes, its pretty straight forward then
[07:47] <whyameye> Dr_willis: so I should just keep loading the old kernel until there is a fix?
[07:47] <alecjw> unop, the erroes canged form couold not open resource for twriting to resource busy or not available
[07:47] <a||ey> yes there is :(
[07:47] <Oni-Dracula> [BTF] Chm0d, I just activated something on beryl that made my screen into a pool of water and gnome panel disapeapred
[07:47] <Dr_willis> whyameye,  proberly a good idea. :)
[07:47] <shavierr> Dr_willis what am i supposed to do then?
[07:47] <Oni-Dracula> ah all better now

[07:48] <Dr_willis> NakedDrummer,  you TOTALLY ignored the suggestion to go read the grub docs dident you... :)

[07:48] <craigbass1976> Can you update one ubuntu install from another box over a network?
[07:48] <[BTF] Chm0d> :o
[07:48] <wulfe> got a question ... use this http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html to do a 3d deskto .. worked on my other machine with a nvidia card .. but i cant get it to work with my ati ... any suggestions ?
[07:48] <Dr_willis> # this is a comment
[07:48] <alecjw> unop, it works fine now. thanks for your time :)
[07:48] <unop> alecjw,  yea, OSS and ESD tend to hold a lock on /dev/snd by default, good to know it works now :)
[07:49] <Dr_willis> a line without a # at the start is not a comment.
[07:49] <shavierr> Dr_willis?
[07:49] <unop> alecjw,  yw :)
[07:49] <[BTF] Chm0d> Oni-Dracula: can you still run beryl?
[07:49] <Dr_willis> shavierr, ??
[07:50] <Urme> I have a server using samba, rsync via ssh. Is there a way for my users to change there passwords them self? Both system and samba pass.
[07:50] <unop> craigbass1976,  the computer with the packages needs to be setup as a repository -- you can use apt-proxy or apt-mirror .. i prefer the former
[07:50] <Dr_willis> shavierr,  you proberly want to research the problem, befor trying to install to a usb hard drive.. there may be a bit of work needed to get it to boot right.
 what shall i do then do have a sucsessfull boot?
[07:50] <a||ey> also, if I view with gparted, it gives a warning that /dev/hdc1 does not exist
[07:50] <wulfe> anybody ?
[07:50] <unop> shavierr,  does your computer allow booting from USB devices?
[07:50] <Dr_willis> shavierr,  ive not tried to do it.. i just recall tht chapter in the book had quite a few pages.. :) so its not trivial for a total beginner.
[07:51] <Dr_willis> BUT that was for the dapper drake release.. it may be better now under edgy.
[07:51] <[BTF] Chm0d> wulfe try going to ubuntuguide.org search for the how to with beryl and ati
[07:51] <Dr_willis> work time for me.. i gotta run.
[07:51] <orz^> Searching for someone good at Cedega !
[07:51] <shavierr> unop dunno

[07:53] <unop> shavierr,  the BIOS should tell you if you check the boot devices/priority section
[07:53] <orz^> but it runs at 17 fps and maps takes about 2 min to load which usually takes about 2 sek
[07:53] <unop> shavierr,  it most probably does then .. but do check the BIOS
[07:53] <orz^> load maps *

[08:02] <gordonjcp> some things may be wrong in /etc/fstab

[08:03] <gordonjcp> tcpip: which one?
[08:03] <thekidrio> hrmm that is an odd one
[08:03] <Richi1> I get this trying to install K3B: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5447/
[08:04] <thekidrio> i assume your lcd is not 800x600 native?
[08:04] <IdleOne> Richi1, you enable universe and multiverse?
[08:04] <pbureau> When using modprobe (installed a new Ralink rt61 driver), where does Modprobe look for the driver?

[08:04] <SaS> mmmm i couldnt tell you what it is native....i know that it works at 1024.768 tho
[08:04] <SaS> in windows*
[08:04] <thekidrio> to get my lcd working correctly i had to open a console ctrl-f2 i think and reconf x
[08:04] <a||ey> is there a way to mount without /dev/hd* (so like mount hd(0,0)
[08:04] <thekidrio> sas what size?
[08:05] <a||ey> ?
[08:05] <thekidrio> i am guessing 17 inch
[08:05] <tcpip> gordonjcp: my ntfs partition makes the system crawl when accessed
[08:05] <SaS> 15"
[08:05] <thekidrio> with that rez
[08:05] <thekidrio> oh yeah dud 17 is 1280 x 1024
[08:05] <thekidrio> err duh heeh
[08:05] <pbureau> depends on  monitor extrawide 15 gets 1280x800
[08:05] <thekidrio> i am guessing you have looked at xorg.conf to see if there is a section for that
[08:06] <gordonjcp> tcpip: I've never used ntfs, so I can't really help
[08:06] <thekidrio> pbureau: yeah he does not have wide aspect ratio, i asked that already hehe
[08:06] <SaS> yes...but it shows only  600-800 settings i believe is what ur asking
[08:06] <Clint-> thekidrio:  i had him check it
[08:06] <sharperguy> I have a network printer connected to a mac, and ubuntu detects it and has the correct driver, however it did not save the authentication details when they were put into the properties of the printer, so the print job gets stopped, is there any way to solve this?
[08:06] <gordonjcp> tcpip: that's some Windows thing isn't it?
[08:06] <SaS> what is the dns to this server?
[08:06] <pbureau> thekidrio, and I get 1024x768 on a 14.1 so... lol
[08:06] <tcpip> gordonjcp: yeah i shifted from windows hence ntfs
[08:06] <kitche> a||ey: no you have to mount like /dev/hd* /dev/sd*

[08:08] <niyi_> does anyone know a decent music player for linux... i'm fed up with rythmbox
[08:08] <a||ey> no it's an IDE disk with an ntfs and fat32 partition on it
[08:08] <NakedDrummer> now im going to blame myself with this ->
[08:08] <a||ey> fdisk -l reports it as being /dev/hdc1 and /dev/hdc5 but those 2 entries don't exist under /dev/

[08:09] <IdleOne> niyi_, xmms works for me
[08:09] <Lunar_Lamp> niyi_, one of the more popular ones is amarok - which is a KDE program, but still very good (and runs fine in gnome)
[08:09] <h1st0> niyi_: well check out xmms it looks like winamp
[08:09] <h1st0> niyi_: and amarok is nice
[08:09] <niyi_> gd
[08:09] <niyi_> i like winamp
[08:09] <Spragie`> arrite so i have a 15" lcd and it is not giving me the option to change the res higher than 600-800, i know the monitor works at 1024x168

[08:19] <Advanced> i was thinking that too
[08:19] <AmaroqWolf> Advanced: wait... there is an EXE you can download and run.
[08:19] <Advanced> im pretty sure its possible and probably quite easy

[08:20] <AmaroqWolf> Okay
[08:20] <Advanced> thanks again
[08:21] <wulfe> 32 bit OS and beryl ...
[08:21] <AmaroqWolf> Advanced: I'm not sure which is better, a CD or the exe. I assume that you can't wipe your windows if you do it from exe, since it'll be running the installation off of the partition you download it to.

[08:27] <Lunar_Lamp> youkilldkennedy, try going to "about:config" in firefox, earch for "ipv6" and switch the option to "off" (or on, if it's off)/.
[08:27] <Oni-Dracula> Cyrus25801, yes it is beryl but theres not much more to see....
[08:27] <parag0n> does anyone know why scripts have suddently stopped working in ubuntu feisty?

"/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko": No such file or directory
[08:27] <JDski> i'll not paste in here
[08:27] <Cyrus25801> Oni-Dracula: can you rotate the desktop (3d desktop)

[08:28] <angie> hei i?m not speak english am brazilian

[08:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about brazil - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:29] <angie> hola jdski
[08:29] <Oni-Dracula> Cyrus25801, good luck with that, I have absolutely no experience in editing permissions in any linux file systems
[08:29] <Oni-Dracula> chmod may be the command to help
[08:30] <angie> im studie
[08:30] <angie> and you?
[08:30] <elias_> Could anyone tell me how to install a .sh file?
[08:30] <Cyrus25801> angie: pls go to brizillian irc. search the net
[08:30] <Oni-Dracula> elias_, sudo sh filename.sh ?
[08:30] <angie> please help me im not speak more english
[08:30] <angie> ahh ok
[08:31] <ompaul> angie, looking at this channel and - this is a support channel you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic and see if they will talk
[08:31] <rukuartic> angie: here
[08:31] <Cyrus25801> can anyone help me with setting permissions on a usb hdd drv
[08:31] <rukuartic> angie: there is a channel for brazilians
[08:31] <ompaul> angie, #ubuntu-br
[08:31] <rukuartic> angie: join #ubuntu-br
[08:31] <wulfe> can anybody help me with a #D desktop
[08:31] <angie> im understanding but i don?t speak
[08:31] <Lunar_Lamp> elias_, .sh usually denotes "shell script" and it doesn't need installing, just running. "./nameoffile.sh" should be enough, once it is made executable by "chmod +x nameoffile.sh" if required.
[08:31] <Cyrus25801> angie: then type
[08:32] <angie> ahh ok i go to #ubunutu-br
[08:32] <rukuartic> angie: yes
[08:32] <Cyrus25801> angie: yes
[08:32] <windmill> Hmm yet again fedora core 4 wins out over Ubuntu edgy...   I really would like to ditch this fedora install but I keep finding boken stuff in ubuntu
[08:32] <angie> ahh ubuntu--br

[08:32] <Advanced> only 2 and a half hours for the download to finish

[08:32] <angie> ...sorry!!
[08:33] <Cyrus25801> angie: it ok
[08:33] <rukuartic> windmill: If you find a problem, just ask. Comparing it to other distros won't make anything work.
[08:33] <wulfe> anybody help with ati drivers and beryl ... having issues with 3d desktop

[08:34] <aimtrainer> hi! Just restartet my computer (edgy) and the xserver wouldnt start. I did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" first with "nvidia" driver - didntt work, then with the "nv" driver it did. But I need the original nvidia driver to get my dual monitor working again. Can anybody help me please?
[08:34] <youser> hey anyoe kknow why upgrade to edgy does not work?
[08:34] <aimtrainer> *restarted
[08:34] <kaze> alguien de espaa?

[08:34] <kaze> ok
[08:34] <youser> thats if it gets past authentication
[08:35] <rukuartic> windmill: there's so many things that could be wrong with that, its like asking "why isn't my car running?"
[08:35] <angie> por lo menos hay alguien que yo puedo entender jajajajajaja
[08:35] <floobit> yo puedo
[08:35] <kaze> jaja

[08:37] <petrus> I just installed Ubuntu 6.06...in the install routine it allowed me to set a non-root password, which is fine...but I need root currently to copy something to a floppy, and I don't know what the root password is
[08:37] <rukuartic> windmill: have you sucessfully used other usb drives with your system?
[08:37] <petrus> can anyone tell me how to get it or reset it?

[08:37] <petrus> thanks ruk
[08:37] <rukuartic> petrus: In essence, there is no root user. To become root, "sudo -i"
[08:37] <rukuartic> petrus: no problem :)
[08:38] <aimtrainer> linxeh, got my qry?
[08:38] <ompaul> !sudo | petrus
[08:38] <windmill> rukuartic, but not recently, I'll try one now
[08:38] <ubotu> petrus: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:38] <linxeh> aimtrainer: nope
[08:38] <rukuartic> ompaul: beatcha
[08:38] <Cyrus25801> rukuartic: can you help me with drv permissions

[08:38] <aimtrainer> oh thanks
[08:38] <floobit> any advice on HAL failing and not being able to access user permissions?  should I wipe and start over?

[08:49] <K1GPL> garryFre   OH NO AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED ON SLASH DOT
[08:49] <rukuartic> pintree: Yeah, go for the 64bit. All the software should be avaliable.
[08:49] <K1GPL> just teasing :)
[08:49] <garryFre> K1GPL Hehe
[08:49] <tobias_> kitche: you know Sunglass for Ubuntu? =)
[08:49] <rukuartic> windmill2: nnn could you /msg me that?
[08:49] <Shane-S> where do I set my DNS entry eth0.conf or if.conf?
[08:49] <_Tom_> pintree: 64bit should be better (you can use more than 4GB of System memory for a start) but it's only the software that really holds it back, if at all.
[08:49] <VrilutZa> need help how to limite per ip bandwidthd

[08:50] <pintree> syzygyBSD let you konw how?
[08:50] <tobias_> why doesnt .deb work for me? i got ubuntu 6.x
[08:50] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: Whats happening?
[08:50] <syzygyBSD> pintree: if it works for you let me know the version
[08:50] <intengu> control centre not working when using gnome-main-menu (uslab) feisty herd3
[08:50] <h1st0> tobias_: explain doens't work

[08:50] <floobit> any way to get your IRC client to flash or beep when someone types your handle?
[08:50] <Shane-S> _Tom_: ty
[08:50] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: it looks like when it is trying to start x it freezes
[08:50] <kitche> aalhamad: xchm is one
[08:50] <tobias_> i open a .deb
[08:50] <tobias_> then it loads it
[08:50] <aalhamad> thanks
[08:50] <pintree>  Is all the software you want available for the AMD64 platform? don't understand this question
[08:50] <h1st0> floobit: depends on which irc client
[08:50] <floobit> gaim
[08:50] <tobias_> but the window stays grey
[08:50] <_Tom_> Anyone around who can handle a grub question?
[08:51] <tobias_> and then it closes again
[08:51] <h1st0> floobit: well if someone sends you a private message it will opena  new window
[08:51] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: yes it is /dev/sda1. what do i do now
[08:51] <syzygyBSD> unfortunatly I can't find any debugging output so I can't find a specific reason
[08:51] <floobit> right
[08:51] <Advanced> w00p
[08:51] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, it is the other side that is what you need to know
[08:51] <h1st0> floobit: if someone sents you a mesage in a channel it will flash on the task bar.
[08:51] <floobit> h1st0: besides that
[08:51] <Zta> ls -al
[08:51] <floobit> ok
[08:51] <Advanced> everything is ready for loading without the cd directly from my hdd!
[08:51] <Advanced> now all i need is the iso
[08:51] <Advanced> x.x
[08:52] <h1st0> floobit: but check around in preferences
[08:52] <tobias_> kitche: it starts the packet installer
[08:52] <Advanced> 1 and a half hours
[08:52] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: try safe graphics mode
[08:52] <pintree> the currrent version i have been sent-yet not installed is ver 6.06 LTS
[08:52] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: tried
[08:52] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: ok i see, now what
[08:52] <GaiaX11> !ask | _Tom_
[08:52] <ubotu> _Tom_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:52] <BrianG> aalhamad: gnochm
[08:52] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: what video card?
[08:52] <Seabass> hi I have a problem with package dependencies, could someone please help?
[08:52] <Seabass> libglu1-mesa-dev
[08:52] <Seabass> Depends: libglu1-mes(=6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3) but 6.5.1+cvs20060824 is to be installed
[08:52] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, tell me?
[08:52] <tobias_> kitche: it starts the packet installer, but it stays grey.. then it laods the packet.. stays grey then it closes again
[08:52] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: tried it in both the 32 and 64 bit, tried to disable apic too
[08:52] <_Tom_> GaiaX11: I've already asked it but no-one was really listening :p
[08:52] <ompaul> Seabass, don't paste -- put it all on one line thanks
[08:52] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: ATI X800 pro AGP
[08:52] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: /media/Jacques
[08:53] <_Tom_> When using grub, if my /boot is mounted in the first logical position .. Eg. parition 5. Would grub see this as (hd0,4) or (hd0,1)? Keeping in mind that there is only one primary paritition preceeding it.
[08:53] <jumburrito> anyone know why I can't get install candidate for w32codecs?
[08:53] <kitche> !Seveas
[08:53] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:53] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: should I swap it out to see if it works with a more generic one?
[08:53] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: it isn't in the fstab file if that helps at all
[08:53] <tobias_> kitche: ? =9
[08:53] <Seabass> okay, sorry
[08:53] <jumburrito> I'm using Seveas
[08:53] <HymnToLife> jumburrito, most likely you don't have the correct repoq
[08:53] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: Try disabling PCMCIA
[08:53] <GaiaX11> !grub | _Tom_
[08:53] <ubotu> _Tom_: 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
[08:53] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, and what does   sudo -R chown username:username /media/Jacques
[08:53] <jumburrito> I download livdvdcss2 from Seveas
[08:53] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: ya, did that, but it doesn't hang there
[08:54] <kitche> tobias_: can't really help you there try dpkg to install it
[08:54] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, that makes it available to your user
[08:54] <dm> h1st0 how does one do that? im looking to do it to save batt power
[08:54] <intengu> control centre not working feisty herd3 using uslab any ideas
[08:54] <Shane-S> another noob question, you restart your networks/DNS entries with what?
[08:54] <holycow> Seveas, rocks
[08:54] <holycow> love that repo
[08:54] <h1st0> dm: well with the install disk there is a boot option you can pass.
[08:54] <dm> intengu */join ubuntu+1
[08:54] <jumburrito> well what causes this problem I'm having?
[08:54] <Shane-S> like I just altered my resolv.conf and need to reset the interfaces
[08:54] <dm> h1st0 ah
[08:54] <dm> h1st0 option in BUM?>
[08:54] <pintree> syzygyBSD still don't know how you want me to let you know
[08:55] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: well maybe try a more generic video card.  Or switch xorg.conf over to vesa
[08:55] <syzygyBSD> oh, how? just post in here
[08:55] <h1st0> dm: you can blacklist the module
[08:55] <intengu> dm: thanks
[08:55] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: how can I switch the xorg before boot?
[08:55] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: it tells me that -R is a illegal option
[08:55] <kaze> alguien quiere practicar su espaol conmigo? se me da muy bien
[08:55] <graft> hi - do sources with apt-get source already come with the diff applied?
[08:55] <Chankster> is there anyway to list the dependencies of a binary file?
[08:55] <dm> intengu i know its not the answer to your quesiton, but its the right place to look
[08:55] <biberao> hi
[08:55] <graft> i.e. they're pre-patched?
[08:55] <biberao> im making a computer to be only accessed by ssh but it asks me for a keyboard its possible to make other way?
[08:55] <pintree> syzygyBSD post in here as I am doing now? what if you're not here when i do so?
[08:55] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, sorry:  sudo chown -R username:username /media/Jacques    -- btw username is your username
[08:55] <ran> how do i mount a ext3 partion so i can read and write to it?
[08:56] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: well there are several ways... Boot off of install cd then mount the drive and change it.  Isn't ther e a recovery mode on your grub list?
[08:56] <syzygyBSD> pintree: I will be sure I am..
[08:56] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: how did you install by the way?
[08:56] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: i figured it would be my user name
[08:56] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: oh.. sorry, these problems are all from booting from install cds
[08:56] <GaiaX11> kaze: Va a (go to) #ubuntu-es
[08:56] <pintree> you're on 24 hours? ;-)
[08:56] <mc44> biberao: what asks you for a keyboard?
[08:57] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: ahh Okay,  Well try turning off ACPI and PCMCIA
[08:57] <syzygyBSD> pintree: no, but if you have my name in it it will go into another window just with messages to me
[08:57] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: PCMCIA was the one that was hanging me up for whatever reason.
[08:57] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: even though I don't have it.
[08:57] <Chankster> is there anyway to list the dependencies of a binary file?
[08:57] <pintree> syzygyBSDI have not installed it yet. I am writing to you now via WIndows XP (But shh don't tell anyone)
[08:57] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: k, I will see if that works, do you know the boot parameters off the top of your head?
[08:57] <_Tom_> Thanks GaiaX11
[08:58] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: thank you so much. but do i need to do that every time i plug in my usb hdd
[08:58] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: no but its on the options screen
[08:58] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: what ver. of buntu you trying?
[08:58] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: must have missed it, thanks for you help
[08:58] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, not unless you change the ownership when you move it elsewhere
[08:58] <GaiaX11> _Tom_: Yaw
[08:58] <pintree> syzygyBSD Just sop u know this is my 1st time using an IRC
[08:58] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: it took me a while to find it too.
[08:58] <syzygyBSD> 6.06 32 bit or newest 64 bit
[08:58] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: cool thanx
[08:58] <syzygyBSD> tried them both
[08:59] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: Yeah see if that works I know it was causing hell with my system.
[08:59] <Trixsey> GAIM, XChat and Firefox crashes every now and then... I've got some bugs in GAIM and Evolution too. Is Ubuntu really this unstable to you guys? I'm on Edgy
[08:59] <gordonjcp> Trixsey: not for me
[08:59] <Pie-rate> Trixsey: no, it isn't. sounds like a hardware issue
[08:59] <h1st0> Trixsey: Edgy does have bugs.
[08:59] <_Tom_> Even the Live CD isn't that buggy.
[08:59] <pintree> syzygyBSD So the question is, HOw do I get you're name in it? I don't even know how people are including names in the cobnversations here--I am doing so by cutting and pasting
[08:59] <h1st0> Trixsey: Have you tried dapper?
[09:00] <gordonjcp> Trixsey: I'd try memtest86, and make sure you're not overclocking your PC
[09:00] <syzygyBSD> pintree: type the first couple letters then press tab
[09:00] <Trixsey> h1st0, I used dapper before but I had some issues then as well
[09:00] <_Tom_> pintree: Type the first few letters of the name and use tab to complete.
[09:00] <jumburrito> I don't understand this crap with w32codecs!!!
[09:00] <Trixsey> I have some PCI-E issues with Edgy right now
[09:00] <gordonjcp> Trixsey: overclocking has a far greater effect on stability than speed
[09:00] <Trixsey> gordonjcp, this is a laptop dude, I aint overclocking it :p
[09:00] <h1st0> Trixsey: well if you were having issues with dapper then I would definately do a memtest and start poking around at the hardware.  Because Dapper is pretty damned solid.
[09:00] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK cool--in your case i needed 3 but i got the point
[09:01] <Trixsey> How about Feisty SVN? I heard they were working on better hardware support
[09:01] <pintree> syzygyBSD,  Still need to know how to let you know personally once iinstall the 64bit version
[09:01] <Trixsey> I ran memtest
[09:01] <Trixsey> for like
[09:01] <Trixsey> 24 hours
[09:01] <Trixsey> no problems there
[09:01] <h1st0> Trixsey: I'm running fiesty now but you are going to see some bugs its alpha
[09:01] <h1st0> Trixsey: and yes better hw support and network manager etc...
[09:02] <syzygyBSD> pintree: "syzygyBSD: it worked for me to install the 64-bit version"
[09:02] <syzygyBSD> I will see it
[09:02] <Trixsey> h1st0, ok.. whats new in Feisty except better hw support?
[09:02] <Fraj> hi
[09:02] <h1st0> Trixsey: join #ubuntu+1 we'll talk there.
[09:02] <Trixsey> ok
[09:02] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK so u just wanna know if t works for me too? is this correct?
[09:02] <boitono> Are there any file size limitations using samba and smbmount?
[09:02] <wulfe> can anybody help me setting up a 3d desktop on a laptop ?
[09:02] <syzygyBSD> pintree: yes
[09:03] <orz^> how can i set OpenGL as engine in wine ?
[09:03] <GaiaX11> Trixsey: I had no lucky in using edgy. So I am still running dapper. And everything works greatly :-) I will wait for feisty to have a leap and upgrade from dapper to it.
[09:03] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK got it. now back to how i can let u know personally
[09:03] <pintree> HOw?
[09:03] <riley> is this the place for complete newbies?
[09:03] <Chankster> i keep getting this error "bash: ./sb: cannot execute binary file" any ideas?
[09:03] <kitche> GaiaX11: then you will have many breakages :)
[09:03] <mc44> riley: for anyone :)
[09:03] <syzygyBSD> pintree: just msg me when it works
[09:03] <riley> great!
[09:04] <GaiaX11> kitche: Have you tried to up from dapper to feisty?
[09:04] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK sorry for my ignorance again but to msg you I need to do what? how?
[09:04] <mc44> riley: just ask your question
[09:04] <riley> so, for starters, in the terminal, i know how to edit permissions (i've done so on other machines before), but its not letting me do that now
[09:04] <syzygyBSD> pintree: /msg syzygyBSD my message
[09:04] <mc44> riley: what error o you get?
[09:05] <riley> this is the first install i've ever done
[09:05] <kitche> GaiaX11: no but I know if you upgrade a certain way in Linux you might get broken system
[09:05] <modisch> the most recent update has caused XFree86-DRI to stop working for me in Xgl/fglrx
[09:05] <modisch> Does anyone know how I can revert to the older versions of both?
[09:05] <riley> Operation not permitted
[09:06] <riley> should i be in bash or bin or something?
[09:06] <mc44> riley: what command are you running?
[09:06] <ciaron> i'm having serious samba performance issues, copying from a linux share to xp is dead slow, any ideas?
[09:06] <GaiaX11> kitche: Now your answer is better: "I might". But ...
[09:06] <pintree> syzygyBSD, So let me see if I get this straight. I want to let you know that for example, "mom says all is fine" then I would type, " /msg syzygyBSD mom says all is fine"  is this correct?
[09:06] <riley> chmod +w usr
[09:06] <riley> i want to install tunderbird
[09:06] <bizkit> I forgot my root password...what should I do?
[09:06] <notgod> ciaron: what speed are you getting?  what type of network?
[09:06] <syzygyBSD> pintree: try it
[09:06] <ompaul> !sudo | bizkit
[09:06] <ubotu> bizkit: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:06] <notgod> bizkit: can you sudo?
[09:07] <Chankster> i keep getting this error "bash: ./sb: cannot execute binary file" any ideas?
[09:07] <pintree> I thought I just did
[09:07] <[BTF] Chm0d> riley: in console type sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[09:07] <hartsantler> is it possible to install ubuntu and dual boot it with windows Vista, without reformatting?  i do not have the Vista install disc
[09:07] <ciaron> notgod: 100base lan, copying from a samba share to an xp machine, takes an hour to copy a 700 meg file
[09:07] <hairulfr> Anyone know anything about mac? Coz I'm trying to help my mother transfer a file to her phone over bluetooth from a powerbook g4, how do you send from the mac to the phone?
[09:07] <bizkit> ubotu:thanks
[09:07] <PHoeNiGoRe> hartsantler, Don't install vista :)
[09:07] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[09:07] <riley> oh, cool. what is sudo?
[09:08] <notgod> ciaron: a single file, or a 700 mb directory with many files?
[09:08] <modisch> is there a logfile for the update manager anywhere?
[09:08] <mc44> !sudo | riley
[09:08] <ubotu> riley: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:08] <ciaron> notgod: single file
[09:08] <hartsantler> PHoeNiGoRe, i hate vista to, but its preinstalled, and for work i have to keep it
[09:08] <IdleOne> !vista | hartsantler
[09:08] <ubotu> hartsantler: vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[09:08] <spiderworm> anyone else found that their machine started running extremely slowly sometime in the past week?
[09:08] <pintree> syzygyBSD, I just tried it--i see it but does this mean you just got a private message? If yes can you do the same to me so i see what you're getting?
[09:09] <IdleOne> !dualboot | hartsantler
[09:09] <ubotu> hartsantler: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[09:09] <notgod> ciaron: and it's directly connected to the same lan?
[09:09] <ciaron> notgod: yep
[09:09] <PHoeNiGoRe> hartsantler, why not do you use vmware
[09:09] <PHoeNiGoRe> ?
[09:09] <brann> a faq on enemy territory told me to do this " sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss" to get sound but i got a "permission denied" error message... since i've added a leading sudo, i don't understand how this can be possible
[09:10] <notgod> ciaron: it's an XP server?  or linux server?
[09:10] <MsK`> hi
[09:10] <ciaron> notgod: linux, runnung samba
[09:10] <MsK`> i activated suspend to ram when lid closed on my laptop. suspend to ram was working using K menu. after a test, the screen was black, i re-closed my screen and re-open, i was on the login screen, now when i login, X restarts... (kubuntu)
[09:10] <notgod> ciaron: so the client is XP?
[09:10] <notgod> ciaron: just getting the network worked out in my head.  :)
[09:10] <tobias_> aaaand here is my question =) isnt lg3d-jdk @ the ubuntu srvrs?
[09:10] <POVaddct> brann: the redirection ">" still takes place in the calling shell, so sudo has no effect
[09:10] <MsK`> any idea ?
[09:10] <ciaron> notgod: yep client XP, server linux
[09:10] <h1st0> no
[09:11] <pintree> syzygyBSD,  it's 4:15 AM where I am and need to go to bed--am waiting 4 ur reply
[09:11] <riley> how do i change the command for something in terminal? i.e, instead of having to type the default "mozilla-thunderbird &", i'd rather type "email"
[09:11] <Kyral> riley: alias email="mozilla-thunderbird &"
[09:12] <Kyral> riley: put it in your .bashrc to make it permanent
[09:12] <POVaddct> brann: try sudo bash -c "echo ... > ..."
[09:12] <riley> thankyou
[09:12] <notgod> ciaron: do you already have socket options = TCP_NODELAY on the samba server?

[09:13] <cowbud> it's a riot
[09:13] <Linkmasta23> i told you
[09:13] <notgod> ciaron: and what is your server logging level?  Actually, I am just running through http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/speed.html -- which has a good number of things to look for.
[09:13] <POVaddct> brann: the edit won't be permanent. files in /proc and /sys are kernel-generated pseudo files
[09:13] <pintree> to all--am leaving  thanks for the help
[09:13] <ciaron> notgod:  "socket options = TCP_NODELAY" is uncommented in my smb.conf
[09:13] <riley> last question: i've got windows on another disk, and its basically for games. Is there some way i can get a driver for my video card so its not whirring constantly?
[09:14] <h1st0> riley: what kind of card do you have?
[09:15] <riley> eVga GEforce
[09:15] <h1st0> riley: you could install nvidia-glx package to get he proper drivers.

[09:15] <ubotu> riley: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:16] <riley> i looked there, but my card model doesnt begin with 4, 6, or FX
[09:16] <riley> its a 7900
[09:17] <niyi_> riley try using the apt-get commands
[09:17] <riley> ok
[09:17] <modisch> Hey folks.  Since the recent update, i haven't been able to get Beryl and Xgl to work.  I looked around and found how to revert beryl, but i'm still unable to get direct rendering to work under Xgl
[09:17] <IdleOne> !xgl
[09:17] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:17] <niyi_> modisch me neither
[09:17] <niyi_> it crashes my X
[09:18] <SanguineAnomaly> ^_^
[09:18] <modisch> Direct rendering is fine under the normal xorg gnome session... but under Xgl, i get an error with XFree86-DRI missing on the display
[09:18] <h1st0> riley: the other option is to install the drivers from nvidia's site.
[09:18] <niyi_> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[09:18] <niyi_> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:18] <h1st0> riley: if you don't want to use nvidia-glx
[09:18] <SanguineAnomaly> i'm not having much luck with linux this week
[09:18] <niyi_> that riley
[09:18] <quaal> anyone know how to crop in gimp ?
[09:18] <modisch> IdleOne: thanks, i've followed the howtos for xgl..  and i had xgl and beryl working for the last couple of weeks.  then i let ubuntu update and i've been broken since
[09:18] <h1st0> modisch: #ubuntu-beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[09:18] <SanguineAnomaly> if i've already set up my partitions, how do I skip that step in the installer?
[09:18] <ciaron> notgod: having a quick though that page, most things on there i've tried and/or are not relevant
[09:19] <niyi_> riley open up terminal and type this: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[09:19] <niyi_> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:19] <mc44> quaal: shift-C
[09:19] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: are you using the livecd installer?
[09:19] <modisch> h1st0: thanks, i'll try there
[09:19] <niyi_> it should install the drivers for you
[09:19] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: yes
[09:19] <IdleOne> modisch, you try in #ubuntu-effects
[09:19] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: just select manual I guess and point / to whichever part you want.
[09:19] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: and /swap etc....
[09:20] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: i tried that, but it says "you must specify a root file system", even when I have :/
[09:20] <riley> thanks
[09:20] <quaal> mc44, thanks
[09:20] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: Yeah you have to pick which partition you want to use as /
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> i did
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: the error i get is: No root file system
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> Filesystems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other filesystems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[09:21] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: any reason not to use the installers partitioner?
[09:21] <tobias_> do i need to burn the suse linux (i know its not ubuntu ^^^but its similar) 10.2 iso with disc at once?
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: i already set up my partitions before installing windows
[09:22] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: Yeah you also have to check that / is going to be formated.
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> it is :/
[09:22] <Poromenos> is there an easy way i can resize my home/usr partitions to swap free space?
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> meh, i'll just reformat them
[09:22] <frobro360> question!!!!  I can't get my wireless connection to show when running 'ifconfig'
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> or re-set them up
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> w/e
[09:22] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: the other option is just to remove the partitions you create and just let it install to the freespace.
[09:22] <VrilutZa> need gelp
[09:22] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: if you want a seperate /home you would have to specify that.
[09:23] <h1st0> !ask | VrilutZa
[09:23] <ubotu> VrilutZa: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[09:26] <armadill0> hi all, I've got a mic/ sound recording issue in 6.10.  I can hear my voice in the speakers, but I can't get KRec to record my voice.  It just doens't seem to "hear" my microphone.  I'm using a VIA 8237.  This seems to be a fairly common issue with mics/ ubuntu based on the support forums.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  thanks :)

[09:28] <dcordes> hi everybody! i am looking for a .deb or a good guide on installing SCIM
[09:28] <dcordes> anybody got something?
[09:28] <Aggrav8d> Recently i had to change my server name to make https work.  now my samba is all screwy and the server shows up as "marginallyclever server (Samba, Ubuntu) (MARGINALLYCLEVE)" even though the netbios name is "HAL".  the server name is marginallyclever.com.  wtf is going on and how do i get it back to HAL without breaking things?
[09:28] <Beware> lawl

[09:28] <h1st0> VrilutZa: you just want a firewall?
[09:28] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: see /etc/smb.conf

[09:28] <Beware> he doesnt have the winblows install disk, and his laptop isnt finding an OS
[09:28] <likwidtek> http://lifehacker.com/software/vnc/geek-to-live-tech-support-with-ultravnc-singleclick-198532.php
[09:29] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - i have been.  the name there is HAL.
[09:29] <Beware> so im just gonna partition it and give him ubuntu
[09:29] <Beware> so he at least has something
[09:29] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: restarted it?
[09:29] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - oh yeah
[09:29] <likwidtek> sorry that link was for Poromenos
[09:29] <Aggrav8d> i mean, yes, i did.
[09:29] <frobro360> notgod: yes the driver is shown as loaded and hardware present
[09:29] <reppel> Hi, is there a sane way to edit keybindings in gnome? i need to bind Alt+F1 to launch a terminal, but i can't find a simple way
[09:29] <elias_> could anyone give me a tip on how to install Beryl?
[09:29] <Beware> and i dont think the laptop can run OSX
[09:29] <Poromenos> likwidtek: ah, sort of the realvnc listener
[09:29] <Beware> so im not gonna bother
[09:29] <Poromenos> likwidtek: what do you need?
[09:29] <SanguineAnomaly> does the ubuntu liveCD require an internet connection to install correctly?
[09:29] <aatdark> jyeah there is one
[09:30] <aatdark> at preferenves or so
[09:30] <mc44> SanguineAnomaly: no
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: that's very odd, that's the place you should edit
[09:30] <aatdark> in den menu (gnome
[09:30] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: no
[09:30] <UrteTe>  how do i change or know the root password right after installation?
[09:30] <Beware> no SanguineAnomaly
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: i don't know what else to say, maybe the line exists twice?
[09:30] <SanguineAnomaly> lol, so many "no"s :)
[09:30] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - i've tried talking to #samba for the last 45 minutes, they were no help.
[09:30] <Beware> LOL
[09:30] <h1st0> UrteTe: its the password you specified by your user you use sudo
[09:30] <Beware> OOPS
[09:30] <POVaddct> SanguineAnomaly: no, internet access is optional when installing
[09:30] <h1st0> !sudo | UrteTe
[09:30] <Beware> caps
[09:30] <ubotu> UrteTe: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: search the file for server
[09:30] <Beware> XD
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: hmm, can you paste the file on a pastebin?
[09:30] <aatdark> reppel: i have ALT T
[09:30] <[BTF] Chm0d> what is the correct package name for x11 dev?
[09:30] <SanguineAnomaly> well, can anyone suggest a reason why nothing was installed into /boot last time I installed?
[09:30] <likwidtek> well I am looking for the same concept but for linux.  I don't want the linux machines to be servers, I want them to be clients.  What I am looking for is somethign that will make a point and click binary that will allow them to choose which "helper" they want to control their machine.
[09:31] <Puaff> please, which repository has the wmware-player package?
[09:31] <aatdark> linux is a very good server OS .
[09:31] <aatdark> [multiverse<font size="3">] </font>
[09:31] <aatdark> [multiverse<font size="3">]  = vmware player</font>
[09:31] <UrteTe> but can i use only su? the password i entered under installation doesn't work
[09:31] <Poromenos> likwidtek: erm
[09:31] <likwidtek> I have this really awesome gui that I made with the ultra vnc single click exe maker... but I want the same thign for making a linux client
[09:31] <mc44> !sudo | UrteTe
[09:31] <ubotu> UrteTe: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:32] <Poromenos> likwidtek: you want to control the linux machines, or FROM the linux machines?
[09:32] <SanguineAnomaly> UrteTe: you want to use sudo <command>
[09:32] <Puaff> aatdark, I have got multiverse in my sources.list but I don't find that package
[09:32] <aatdark> Puaff: ran sudo apt-get update
[09:32] <Beware> mmkay
[09:32] <Beware> i g2g
[09:32] <Beware> peace yall
[09:32] <aatdark> to get the newest list
[09:32] <likwidtek> I want to deploy lets say 10 linux machines.  All with this binary on their desktop that when they open it can request a help session from a particular tech's computer.  We already have a solution for the windows clients... I just need one for the linux xlients
[09:32] <Puaff> aatdark, I did it, is it vmware-player the package's name?
[09:33] <aatdark> it is vmware-player
[09:33] <Poromenos> likwidtek: right, so you want them to have the vnc server installed on the machine
[09:33] <UrteTe> is it not possible to log in as root? like with su
[09:33] <likwidtek> right.
[09:33] <aatdark> /Puaff what system ? edgy?#
[09:33] <mc44> UrteTe: sudo -i
[09:33] <Freddy2> hi
[09:33] <SanguineAnomaly> UrteTe: sudo su
[09:33] <Puaff> aalhamad, edgy 6.10
[09:33] <Poromenos> likwidtek: and what's the problem? i would think that you just have to know their IP
[09:33] <likwidtek> the listener will be another computer.  But I would like it single click and graphical with the option to choose more than one listener
[09:33] <UrteTe> mc44, SanguineAnomaly: thanks
[09:33] <Poromenos> likwidtek: i see
[09:33] <mosh> hi
[09:33] <aatdark> Puaff what was the command you ran?
[09:33] <shatrat> SanguineAnomaly, thats not recommended, sudo -i is better
[09:34] <Poromenos> likwidtek: are you making the program?
[09:34] <aatdark> Puaff to install it
[09:34] <Poromenos> likwidtek: or are you looking for a ready made one?
[09:34] <SanguineAnomaly> shatrat: how come?
[09:34] <Puaff> aatdark, I'm looking the packgage it apt-cache search vmware
[09:34] <h1st0> Poromenos: he's looking for a solution
[09:34] <Puaff> aatdark, then I can only see kernel modules for wmware
[09:34] <likwidtek> Poromenos: http://www.pchelpware.com/creator/index.html I used this to make the Windows server's exe's
[09:34] <Poromenos> likwidtek: hmm, i don't know of a solution like that, other than RealVNC, which includes an "add listener" option with a combo box
[09:34] <mosh> i amd trying to install pypanel, via apt-get.. and it goes throught hte install claims to work, but when all is said and done it just grabbed dependencys and docs, there is no "pypanel" app to run:(
[09:34] <shatrat> SanguineAnomaly, from what Ive read sudo su doesnt set up the environment variables properly so you could end up with wrong paths to home and bin and such
[09:34] <aalhamad> Puaff yes
[09:34] <IdleOne> need the perl and python plguins for xchat are those in repos or do I get from xchat.org?
[09:34] <Puaff> aatdark, I always run apt from gterm
[09:35] <aatdark> Puaff try sudo apt-get install vmware-player
[09:35] <Aggrav8d> poro - http://pastebin.ca/352433
[09:35] <Poromenos> likwidtek: ah, i see
[09:35] <SanguineAnomaly> shatrat: ah, that makes sense - since I've actually had that problem XD
[09:35] <William_1> hey ! is it allowed to give links ???
[09:35] <aalhamad> Puaff, sorry i just so your msg
[09:35] <mosh> i tried installing from source but i cannot find the compatible imlib2 files, any help would be appreciated vm
[09:36] <IdleOne> William_1, depends what links I suppose
[09:36] <Poromenos> likwidtek: well, i can only think of realvnc, the server icon allows you to add listeners
[09:36] <Poromenos> likwidtek: well, to connect to them
[09:36] <riley> how do you ssh into a server and use a diff username than the one on the terminal?
[09:36] <SanguineAnomaly> IdleOne: can't you just apt-get install python perl?
[09:36] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: change "server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)" to "server string = HAL" or whatever you want it to be
[09:36] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: then restart samba
[09:37] <aatdark> riley what do you mean?
[09:37] <Puaff> aatdark, it doesn't work, there is no wmware-player package :-?
[09:37] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - i'll try it
[09:37] <aatdark> riley by taking a diff usrename
[09:37] <linxeh> I'm running an Edgy system with an Nvidia card, and I'm now having problems getting X to work with the nvidia closed drivers. It works fine with the nv driver though. I've reinstalled linux-restricted-modules-generic and nvidia-glx. Have I missed anything ? "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!" "/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko": No such file or directory
[09:37] <Freddy2> i've added a script to /etc/init.d and after I've created the usual symlink from /etc/rc5.d (S50script, one for configuring iptables), but after rebooting the machine (it should start in level 5) the script isn't executed (iptables has no rule after starting).. why?
[09:37] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: it'll work :p
[09:37] <likwidtek> brb
[09:37] <Puaff> aatdark, just a xserver and kernel modules
[09:37] <riley> i try "ssh lore.cs.purdue.edu" and it asks me for the password for the username i am in on my computer, but its not the same username i need to log in with
[09:37] <riley> how do i do that?
[09:37] <riley> take a diff name *
[09:37] <sveri> hi, anyone here who got feisty installed on a neo p965 chipset from usb or ide-cdrom?
[09:37] <IdleOne> SanguineAnomaly, well I got an error from xchat telling me to install the plugins so i was wondering if I needed to get a plugin from xchat or just install perl and python but either way i would need perl for a plugin to work so heh thanks :)
[09:37] <Poromenos> riley: , erm
[09:38] <likwidtek> this is what the windows gui looks like:   http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/4247/untitledyy3.jpg
[09:38] <Puaff> aatdark, don't worry, thx a lot, I'll see what I have wrong
[09:38] <Poromenos> riley: ssh username@lore.cs.purdue.edu
[09:38] <riley> ah
[09:38] <riley> thank
[09:38] <aatdark> what was the prob?
[09:38] <Poromenos> riley: np
[09:38] <aatdark> just for intererset
[09:38] <likwidtek> I want basically a linux port of that.  heh
[09:38] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - did it but the name still shows up wrong in windows.  is there some way to force windows to refresh?
[09:38] <IdleOne> SanguineAnomaly, or not lol
[09:38] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: well, you can reboot, or repair the network i think
[09:38] <riley> is there a way to copy files to my disk using ssh?
[09:38] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d:  make sure you restarted samba
[09:38] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: but on next windows boot, it'll show up as HAL
[09:38] <Freddy2> riley: try scp
[09:39] <Aggrav8d> argh, i gotta reboot then.
[09:39] <Aggrav8d> one minute...
[09:39] <IdleOne> later folks
[09:39] <Poromenos> likwidtek: i see, i'm afraid i don't know of anything that customized
[09:39] <riley> ah
[09:39] <riley> thanks
[09:39] <SanguineAnomaly> brb
[09:39] <Freddy2> riley: gftp also has support for ssh (graphic client)
[09:39] <SanguineAnomaly> (hopefully)
[09:39] <b0ef> riley: or sftp
[09:39] <Aggrav8d> poro - ok, now HAL is there but i can't log into it.
[09:39] <linxeh> man the nvidia drivers suck
[09:39] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: could you log on the server before?
[09:39] <likwidtek> is there a way to make a script that will do it non graphially?  maybe just a simple text program?
[09:39] <linxeh> why dont they just open source the flipping thing
[09:40] <Poromenos> also, does anyone know how i can resize a linux partition? :p
[09:40] <Poromenos> likwidtek: hmm, there is a way, but it'd take a bit of programmnig
[09:40] <Aggrav8d> poro - yeah

[09:40] <Freddy2> XD
[09:40] <Poromenos> likwidtek: do you have like, a web server or something?
[09:40] <trident_> hello
[09:40] <trident_> i tried to make a debian package with checkinstall and it makes a symlink which conflicts with something from smbclient
[09:40] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: does it ask for a username and password?
[09:40] <trident_> how do i force the machine to accept the package?
[09:40] <likwidtek> I could write it in windows batch... lol but dunno any scripting
[09:40] <trident_> dpkg -i <package> results in trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb', which is also in package smbclient
[09:40] <Poromenos> likwidtek: windows batch doesn't work in linux :p
[09:40] <trident_> anyone?
[09:41] <h1st0> trident_: -f
[09:41] <Poromenos> trident_: dpkg --force
[09:41] <Aggrav8d> i'm getting "\\hal is not accessible.  you may not have permission to use this network resource."
[09:41] <h1st0> trident_: or check the man page for dpkg
[09:41] <Bourne_31> hi, is there a way to install Ubuntu-Desktop in Text Mode? I actually didn't like the graphical installer
[09:41] <h1st0> trident_: yeah --force
[09:41] <h1st0> Bourne_31: yes use the alternate iso
[09:41] <linxeh> Bourne_31: yes, use the alternative cd
[09:41] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: hmm, that's odd, nothing else has changed
[09:41] <dv_> anyone using the madwifi drivers?
[09:41] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: windows probably doesn't recognise the server now and doesn't send the password
[09:42] <dv_> I have a weird problem with them. I can connect correctly alright, and communication works,
[09:42] <Aggrav8d> i'll try the reboot now.
[09:42] <Aggrav8d> brb
[09:42] <Bourne_31> linxeh: I don't have the alternative CD, only the Desktop CD. You are saying that there is no way to install the Desktop in Text Mode then?
[09:42] <dv_> but for some reason the signal is gone for about 5-10 seconds,
[09:42] <dv_> and then it works again
[09:42] <dv_> it seems as if the wlan card "loses" the signal
[09:42] <linxeh> Bourne_31: the desktop cd is a live distro with the ability to install the live distribution to a partition
[09:42] <linxeh> Bourne_31: afaik there is no text mode install on that cd
[09:42] <dv_> and finds it again
[09:43] <Bourne_31> linxeh: only the alternative Cd then...
[09:43] <linxeh> Bourne_31: you might be able to do it manually though using a rescue console or somesuch
[09:43] <linxeh> eg copying the files manually to a partition and installing grub
[09:43] <ElbridgeGerry> How do I make Ubuntu no longer count a touchpad tap as a click?
[09:43] <ElbridgeGerry> (Using laptop with 6.10)
[09:44] <frobro360> notgod: yes ndiswrapper -l shows that my driver is loaded, and hardware is present
[09:44] <fiXXXerMet> I have 2 SATA drives in my machine and I am attempting to install ubuntu 6.10 server.  I create 1 partition on each as raid, and then go to configure raid, which creates a 3rd device (md0).  I make my first partition (/boot) on it, and then it won't allow me to use the rest of the drive.
[09:44] <fiXXXerMet> Why is this?
[09:44] <finn> !nvidia
[09:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:44] <aatdark> fiXXXerMet: what raid systen?
[09:45] <fiXXXerMet> 1
[09:45] <h1st0> fiXXXerMet: are you making the /boot the entire size of the raid?
[09:45] <dcordes> mc44: you gave me that link for scim. i installed it but i can't activate it. i mean it is in the tray and i can change some settings there but how do i use it? :)
[09:45] <Bourne_31> linxeh: after I install ubuntu, is there a way to disable system services from the GUI ?
[09:45] <fiXXXerMet> No, just 150 MB out of 200 GB
[09:45] <dcordes> mc44: there was nothing on the wiki about it
[09:45] <Poromenos> fiXXXerMet: is it fakeraid?
[09:45] <fiXXXerMet> I don't think so?
[09:45] <h1st0> Bourne_31: Do you want no gui installed at all?
[09:45] <h1st0> Bourne_31: i'm nto sure what you are tryign to accomplish.
[09:45] <Bourne_31> h1st0: lemme explain
[09:45] <VrilutZa> h1st0 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5468/plain/
[09:45] <mc44> dcordes: dunno sorry
[09:45] <Poromenos> Bourne_31: there's a program
[09:46] <riley> if I have another HD with Windows on it, is it possible to have access to it through Ubuntu? I looked online, and for whatever reason, i cant get to them through "System --> Admin --> Disks", becuase thats not an item under the admin section
[09:46] <Poromenos> Bourne_31: that comes with automatix
[09:46] <linxeh> Bourne_31: yes - the services thing in "system" menu
[09:46] <VrilutZa> how to resolv?
[09:46] <Poromenos> Bourne_31: or that
[09:46] <dcordes> anybody?
[09:46] <aatdark> riley yeah its possible
[09:46] <Bourne_31> h1st0: yes, i don't want to install in Text mode... (too slow)... but I want the GUI included
[09:46] <aatdark> riley: are you familier with mount?
[09:46] <Poromenos> has noone ever resized a linux partition?
[09:46] <Bourne_31> h1st0: i mean, i dont't want to install in GRAPH mode
[09:46] <oggy> i need a desktop recorder
[09:46] <aatdark> riley or is there a other problem?
[09:46] <riley> you mean /mnt
[09:46] <h1st0> VrilutZa: I don't understand what you are trying to do I haven't played with that stuff y7et.
[09:46] <riley> I've never done anything with it
[09:46] <aatdark> riley no the comman mount
[09:46] <Bourne_31> h1st0: i don't know why they changed this! it was so easy with breezy bager
[09:47] <fiXXXerMet> I just made a 100 GB (50%) /var partition on the Raid1 Device #0 Software Raid, and now the other space says "unusable"
[09:47] <alienseer23> help! my desktop is all messed up and nautilus won't open windows!
[09:47] <ElbridgeGerry> Hi, all. Doesn anyone know a way to no longer make touchpad taps count as a click on this laptop?
[09:47] <h1st0> Bourne_31: well you would need to alternate cd to dot hat.
[09:47] <aatdark> riley: ok ..try sudo mkdir /media/windowsdrive
[09:47] <riley> did that
[09:47] <h1st0> Bourne_31: and to answer your question yes there is a services config in the gnome.
[09:47] <dcordes> i really could need some help with SCIM. anybody using it?
[09:47] <aatdark> riley: then mount /dev/hda ?? 0-3 /media/windowsdrive
[09:47] <riley> how can i find out what the number is?
[09:47] <foo> How can I switch from alsa to oss without X?
[09:47] <h1st0> riley: fdisk -l
[09:47] <aatdark> riley
[09:47] <riley> ty
[09:48] <alienseer23> I tried to change my desktop background and the whole thing just froze
[09:48] <frobro360> question: why would I still have no wlan0 network interface after I have completed all steps to setup ndiswrapper?
[09:48] <aatdark> riley: do you want also write access ?
[09:48] <ElbridgeGerry> alienseer23: Can you restart?
[09:48] <aatdark> riley: and is it a NTFS volume?
[09:48] <Aggrav8d> huzzah, it worked!  thank you!
[09:48] <trident_> h1st0: that didn't work
[09:48] <alienseer23> I can try
[09:48] <trident_> dpkg: unknown force/refuse option
[09:49] <riley> i do "fdisk -l" and this is the only disk i see: dev/sdc1               1       38913   312568641    7  HPFS/NTFS
[09:49] <ElbridgeGerry> alienseer23: I've had some freezes too. Rebooting generally helps.
[09:49] <h1st0> riley: its /dev/sdc1
[09:49] <aatdark> riley: and where is you linux?
[09:49] <h1st0> trident_: --force ?
[09:49] <alienseer23> rebooting (had this problem before I did my last reboot)
[09:49] <riley> my linux is on a 320, so that one presumably
[09:49] <oggy> i need a desktop recorder istanbul only does ogg
[09:49] <alienseer23> I'll try it out
[09:49] <riley> my windows is on a 250
[09:49] <trident_> dpkg --force package name right?
[09:49] <h1st0> trident_: hold on let me check the man
[09:50] <Arphetic> Hi, I'm having a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe as Motherboard with an onboard soundcard, and I am running Ubuntu Dapper Drake. My sound is working, but the quality is very bad, specially on lower frequentions. Any suggestions on what I can do? (There are no drivers @ Asus site for linux + Running nForce mixer now I think).
[09:50] <frobro360> anyone have any suggestions?
[09:51] <aatdark> riley: is it working with sdc1?
[09:51] <riley> yea
[09:51] <mycologist> hello, i am new to ubuntu. i just finished a new install of 6.10 and managed to get my ati x1600 working and now i am unable to get my soundblaster audigy 2 working, can anyone help?
[09:51] <h1st0> trident_: dpkg --force-all  I believe is what you are looking for but becarefull using it.
[09:51] <riley> the other device doesnt show under fdisk
[09:51] <h1st0> trident_: what package are you trying to install because there may be a better way.
[09:51] <trident_> h1st0: it's custom made
[09:51] <aatdark> riley what is the other dive tye of?
[09:51] <aatdark> riley: IDE?
[09:51] <trident_> that didn't work either
[09:51] <aatdark> riley: or external USB
[09:51] <riley> they are both SATA
[09:52] <ElbridgeGerry> Sorry for asking again, but this kind of got lost in the flood: Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu no longer count my touchpad taps as a click? Or does anyone know a good channel to ask?
[09:52] <h1st0> trident_: okay the other option is dpkg --force-help will show you how to use foce
[09:52] <riley> well, i have an external USB and 2 SATAs, only they SATA w/ ubuntu is showing up
[09:52] <aatdark> riley: try typing /dev/sd and then press TAB 2x
[09:52] <riley> k
[09:52] <aatdark> then it lists the possible devices starting with sd ..
[09:52] <trident_> do i need --force-all and then --install as well?
[09:52] <h1st0> trident_: dpkg -i --force-all whatev3er.deb
[09:52] <riley> bash: /dev/sd: No such file or directory
[09:52] <aatdark> riley: dont press enter
[09:52] <riley> ok
[09:53] <aatdark> riley: press TAB 2 times
[09:53] <h1st0> trident_: if that does't work try dpkg --force-all -i whatever.deb
[09:53] <aatdark> riley: then its lits the possible things ..
[09:53] <dcordes> !scim

[09:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about scim-ui - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:53] <riley> doesnt do anything
[09:53] <h1st0> trident_: I don't believe the order will matter or --install vs. -i  should be the same thing.
[09:53] <tom__> hey guys, i'm having big troubles with avahi, it doesn't seem to be running. when starting the service, my programs using it still won't work. can somebody help me through this or speak up if you have a similar problem?
[09:53] <dcordes> hm the wiki can't help me with SCIM anybody else can?

[10:12] <gili> tom: can i get soundjuicer to use lame?
[10:12] <tom__> gili: follow the link i provided you.
[10:12] <shatrat> cc77, I believe sourceforge has a page somewhere where they list how many projects use which languages.  c and c++ blow the others away still iirc
[10:12] <cc77> shatrat, if I were to release an app that all distro's should be to port easily, python is the word?

[10:13] <ubotu> yodude: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:13] <saras> can someone help me to use ubuntu?
[10:13] <Yodude> tom_: so i downloaded this theme
[10:14] <cc77> tom__, hmm, how compatible is with mono?
[10:14] <tom__> !mp3 | gili
[10:14] <ubotu> gili: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:14] <tom__> cc77: very.
[10:14] <Yodude> it's named clearlooks engine, it's the engine of ohter themes
[10:14] <cc77> tom__ and the gui part?
[10:14] <Yodude> the owner said to install i need to run "./configure --prefix=/usr && make install"
[10:14] <Arphetic> Hi, I'm having a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe as Motherboard with an onboard soundcard, and I am running Ubuntu Dapper Drake. My sound is working, but the quality is very bad, specially on lower frequentions. Any suggestions on what I can do? (There are no drivers @ Asus site for linux + Running nForce mixer now I think).
[10:14] <Yodude> but i got nothing when i did that command
[10:14] <Yodude> what should i do?
[10:14] <tom__> cc77: i dunno about that, i'm not a developer. but programs developed with c# and mono can be ported very easily. even to windows in some cases.
[10:15] <saras> how to install programs in ubuntu? :(
[10:15] <saras> :(
[10:15] <saras> help me
[10:15] <cc77> which has a lower memory and cpu footprint, mono (dotnet) or python?
[10:15] <shatrat> Arphetic, try opening "alsamixer" and turning down the PCM, and possibly main volume and others.
[10:15] <LiENUS> cc77, python should
[10:15] <tom__> saras: applications --> Add/Remove
[10:15] <shatrat> cc77, I think the correct answer there is "everything but java"
[10:15] <Yodude> saras: at the upper-left corner of the screen click Applications, then Add/remove
[10:15] <saras> thanks, i'll try
[10:15] <LiENUS> does ubuntu have selinux support?
[10:16] <pollywog> I did an upgrade on Edgy and it rendered my system unbootable by modifying my fstab to use some long ID's
[10:16] <tom__> Lienus: try google. asking 20 times won't get you a better answer if nobody knows.
[10:16] <Yodude> tom_: so how do i install that theme engine?
[10:16] <jeeves_bond> When I'm creating a PDF from KWord Georgia is not being used in the PDF but it's the font for all my body text in the KWord document. Does anyone know why this would happen/how I can fix it?
[10:16] <pollywog> is there a way to fix this?
[10:16] <shatrat> Yodude, there is a theme installing utility in the System menu
[10:16] <tom__> yodude: in System --> Preferences --> Themes
[10:16] <LiENUS> tom__,  surely someone knows
[10:16] <cc77> LiENUS, I but if debian has, ubuntu will also have selinux support.
[10:16] <jeeves_bond> (people in #kde don't seem to have an answer)
[10:16] <tom__> Lienus: they would've helped you by now.
[10:16] <Yodude> yes but the owner said not to use it cuz this is not actually a theme it's an engine for themes
[10:17] <cc77> LiENUS, I mean bet, not but
[10:17] <Yodude> here see for yourself: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19527
[10:17] <tom__> Yodude: clearlooks? ubuntu already has clearlooks installed, as the default theme uses it.
[10:17] <shatrat> Yodude, well then look for a README or something in the archive
[10:17] <LiENUS> tom__,  did you know someone asked about a package to moniter a serial modem for caller id information?
[10:17] <saras> how to install "skype_debian-1.3.0.53-1_i386.deb"??? :((((
[10:17] <LiENUS> did you know kakado_ quit because his send queue was exceeded?
[10:17] <zachalekos> does anybody know how to buy webcams that work in ubuntu in the uk?
[10:18] <tom__> Lienus: yeah, i don't know the answer. do you expect 1034 people all to answer "i don't know"??
[10:18] <pollywog> is "ik ga weg" Dutch for "leaving"?

[10:19] <pollywog> saras: you want to install a deb?
[10:19] <bur[n] er> saras: "sudo dpkg -i skype_debian*"
[10:19] <shatrat> saras, Im not sure thats the best way of instlaling it.
[10:19] <tom__> Lienus: your problem is not more important than anybody elses. Posting your problem every 30 seconds spams the channel, and annoys anybody who possibly knows the answer to your question.
[10:19] <jeeves_bond> saras: What does it say if you right-click on the file?
[10:19] <LiENUS> shatrat,  my point being not everyone is able to see everything i've asked the same question 3 times and waited till it was off the screen before asking each time, because not everyone sees everything
[10:19] <LiENUS> tom__, i waited far more than 30 seconds
[10:19] <saras> it...
[10:19] <saras> extracting
[10:19] <saras> my english is broken :((
[10:19] <DARKGuy> LiENUS: Depending on your question, you could also try other channels if no one here knows the answer
[10:20] <quintin> sam_: /join #alsa
[10:20] <tom__> Lienus: and if 1034 people posted once every 2 minutes, do you know how insane that would be? if somebody knew the answer, they would answer. if they don't know, look for help elsewhere in the meantime.
[10:20] <linxeh> any idea why /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile would get cleaned at reboot ?

[10:20] <quintin> saras: or just double click the downloaded .deb

[10:20] <ubotu> saras: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[10:20] <saras> where i must write it?
[10:20] <LiENUS> theres a ubuntu.com website relating to selinxu
[10:20] <linxeh> pollywog: not unbootable, but the nvidia drivers dont work (here anyway)
[10:20] <_Tom_> I'm trying to install dmraid before the alternate edgy CD partitions my drives (it'd need dmraid to see the array). But I've installed the .udeb package (I think), however nothing is coming up in /dev/mapper :( Any help? I made sure I found its dependancies on the alt cd and installed them.
[10:21] <tom__> Lienus: then i guess you're out of luck, or you could try looking at that website.
[10:21] <LiENUS> however it does not answer  my question
[10:21] <LiENUS> hence
[10:21] <LiENUS> i'm asking in here
[10:21] <pollywog> linxeh: I don't have the nvidia problem I wish it were only that
[10:21] <shatrat> saras, check this out, it has a Ubuntu section under the debian one. http://www.debianadmin.com/install-skype-instant-messanger-in-debian-and-ubuntu.html
[10:21] <tom__> lienus: you're asking way too often in here. you're spamming the channel.
[10:21] <michaelpo> !kernel
[10:21] <_Tom_> (I'm mainly following the FakeRaidEdgy tutorial)
[10:21] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:21] <LiENUS> if it bothers you put me on ignore tom__
[10:21] <linxeh> pollywog: you can always boot from the CD if necessary
[10:21] <shatrat> saras, or nevermind, use the one ubotu linked
[10:21] <niyi> can someone please explain why no matter what package i can seem to make isntall files
[10:21] <variant> !version
[10:21] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[10:21] <LiENUS> for that matter you are spamming the channel right now much more than my asking every 2 minutes
[10:21] <pollywog> linxeh: yeah but my HD will be inaccessible won't it?
[10:22] <tom__> Lienus: being rude does not get results. if somebody knew the answer to your question, they would have answered you. try google, you seem capable.
[10:22] <linxeh> pollywog: not if you do it the right way; you can use the kernel on the cd and tell it to use your hard drive as the root partition
[10:22] <LiENUS> your incessant drivel alone, not to mention my needing to reply to you
[10:22] <pollywog> linxeh: have a url for me that tells me how?
[10:23] <pollywog> nvm I will check the wiki
[10:23] <tom__> Lienus: i can guaruntee you nobody will have an answer for you, because if they did, they would have given it to you. In the meantime, you're making it difficult for other people.
[10:23] <pollywog> linxeh: thanks for your help
[10:23] <linxeh> pollywog: im looking to see if i can find a link

[10:24] <LiENUS> does ubuntu have selinux support?
[10:24] <tom__> lienus: yes it does. read this website: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux
[10:25] <shatrat> 2 seconds to google it
[10:25] <faemir_> is gnubuntu still going?
[10:25] <tom__> shatrat: exactly, thankyou.
[10:25] <LiENUS> shatrat, since you dont know the answer, its best not to reply

[10:26] <Anders> Hi everyone. I am very new to Linux and Ubuntu. After installing Ubuntu on my IBM T30 laptop everything worked fine. Yet after updating Ubuntu (the kernel was updated from 2.6.17-10 to 2.6.17-11) my wireless card does not work. When booting with the old kernel it works fine, but nut with the kernel version 2.6.17-11. Please can anyone help me?
[10:26] <pollywog> linxeh: btw I have the alternative install CD for Edgy
[10:26] <shatrat> LiENUS, since you are too lazy to look, perhaps you ought not spam?
[10:26] <LiENUS> shatrat,
[10:26] <LiENUS> have you read the google results?
[10:26] <shatrat> LiENUS, and I did know the answer, but by your second post it was too annoying to be arsed
[10:26] <tom__> LiENUS: i already answered your question, and shatrat does know the answer because i posted it publicly. try using google next time.
[10:26] <LiENUS> have you installed selinux support on ubuntu?
[10:26] <rmd_> faemir_: i'm guessing not, since gnubuntu.org pushes the reader to ubuntu.com :-/
[10:26] <_Tom_> I'm trying to install dmraid before the alternate edgy CD partitions my drives (it'd need dmraid to see the array). But I've installed the .udeb package (I think), however nothing is coming up in /dev/mapper :( Any help? I made sure I found its dependancies on the alt cd and installed them.
[10:26] <shatrat> yeah, its a definitive kind of.
[10:26] <linxeh> pollywog: I cant remember exactly, but you should be able to edit the boot options on the grub menu on that cd, and tell the kernel "initrd=/dev/hd....."
[10:26] <adam__> can anyone help with a freezing problem on edgy? think it might have something to do with ndiswrapper or my card
[10:27] <riley> is there a driver for webcams that will work with logitech cameras?
[10:27] <LiENUS> because wiki.ubuntu.com says it has selinux support
[10:27] <linxeh> pollywog: where you pass in the device that has your / partition
[10:27] <LiENUS> yet...
[10:27] <LiENUS> apt-get install selinux
[10:27] <tom__> Lienus: good luck getting support in here next time, you're rudeness probably won't be forgotten.
[10:27] <LiENUS> does not install it
[10:27] <pollywog> linxeh: ty
[10:27] <LiENUS> hence i asked in here
[10:27] <shatrat> I wonder if its because its not a package?
[10:27] <shatrat> Could it be?
[10:27] <patrick_> has any one got a cannon pixima ip3000 working with dapper?

[10:28] <Anders> Hi Experts! :-) Can anyone help me to get my wireless card to work with kernel 2.6.17-11? Please help...

[10:28] <tom__> alienseer23: what firmware do you have/
[10:28] <tom__> err...
[10:28] <shatrat> Anders, reinstall, at least repeat the bits of the how-to you used to get it working in the first place which involve compiling things
[10:28] <riley> notgod: thanks
[10:28] <shatrat> Anders, when I say reinstall, I dont mean ubuntu btw
[10:29] <notgod> riley: was totally a stab in the dark.  :)  but you're very welcome.

[10:30] <shatrat> Anders, I dont really know, thats just the general approach when a kernel changes and a module is no longer correct.  This is a common problem lately, you might try checking the forums and looking for your particular brand of wireless adapter

[10:31] <Dial_tone> is there anyway to use lightscribe in linux?
[10:31] <ElbridgeGerry> Dial_tone: Is it a Windows program?
[10:31] <tom__> Dial_tone: i think i saw a program for this.
[10:31] <shatrat> Anders, no problem. It probably isnt too big of a deal to get it fixed, but youll need to know what hardware you have.  lspci will probably list it
[10:31] <rp3> what does automatix give me that add/remove or synaptic doesn't give me?
[10:31] <tom__> elbridgegerry: it uses a laser to inscribe on cds. its part of the hardware.
[10:31] <LiENUS> Anders,  what commands do you have to rerun?
[10:31] <shatrat> Dial_tone, ive seen one too, but I dont have a lightscribe writer myself so I didnt pay too much attention.
[10:32] <ElbridgeGerry> tom_: Oh. I'm stupid.
[10:32] <ImmortalD23> is it true that noone chats here?
[10:32] <Dial_tone> I am just looking at new burners and wonder if I should bother w/ specifying lightscribe

[10:32] <hairulfr> Hey all, if I move SDB1 and A1, can I add the to the desktop easily again?
[10:32] <tom__> Dial_tone: read this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322829
[10:32] <Anders> but after reboot - the wireless card does not work again until I enter the 4 commands
[10:32] <LiENUS> linxeh, because its volatile?
[10:33] <Anders> so I was thinking that i might be possible to run these commands automatically during boot?
[10:33] <LiENUS> Anders, the last command looks redudant... it requires all 4?
[10:33] <ElbridgeGerry> I'm trying to install libqt3-mt, but it tells me I need libfontconfig1. When I try to install libfontconfig1, it tells me I have a later version already. What do I do?
[10:33] <linxeh> LiENUS: I assumed that it meant they were lame/unstable/proprietry - you have to manually load something in there then ?
[10:33] <tom__> Anders: you could create an init.d script.
[10:33] <LiENUS> Anders,  whats the name of the device? eth1? eth0?
[10:33] <Dial_tone> great, thanks
[10:33] <hairulfr> Hm,never mind, I want to move sda1 and sdb1 from the desktop, is there a way to do this, or a hack, that'll allow the not to have titles?
[10:33] <linxeh> LiENUS: makes it flipping hard work getting the nvidia drivers to work
[10:33] <Anders> I have only tried to enter all 4 commands - and that works
[10:33] <hairulfr> *tem
[10:34] <tom__> Anders: if you already know how to get it working, creating an init.d script should be easy.

[10:37] <Anders> but can I create an autoexec.bat file to run the 4 commands (sorry, I only know the dos terms...)
[10:37] <tom__> !printing | patrick_
[10:37] <ubotu> patrick_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[10:37] <patrick_> thank you!

[10:38] <saras> how to write as aroot?
[10:38] <LiENUS> Anders,  run gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[10:38] <cdward> maybe a more accurate quesiton is: is that any reason to install LVM on a basic desktop machine?
[10:38] <saras> how to write as root?
[10:38] <tom__> saras: use sude
[10:38] <LiENUS> add 3 lines, "orinoco_pci", "hostap_pci" and "prism2_pci"
[10:38] <Anders> sorry, I am so new to Linux. Should I go to the terminal and enter "gksudo gedit /etc/module" ?
[10:38] <tom__> saras: sudo*
[10:39] <Knight_Lord2> Is there any way for me to know how many PCI slots I have on my machine?
[10:39] <Eclypse>  is there a way to burn .avi video files to a dvd allowing them to be played on a dvd player?
[10:39] <LiENUS> Anders,  hit alt+f2
[10:39] <LiENUS> and enter it there
[10:39] <tom__> Knight_Lord2: you could look at the back of it...
[10:39] <LiENUS> itl'l ask you for your password, type it in then add those lines
[10:39] <faemir_> is there a way to browser folders and do stuff in a graphical wm? because everytime i want to do something that requires root access, i have to use terminal
[10:39] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ without physical access
[10:39] <tom__> Knight_Lord2: or use lspci
[10:39] <faemir_> which takes longer
[10:39] <brann> I want an application (a game) to use a specific keyboard map. i'm able to change it using xmodmap and play my game, but i don't know how to switch back to my default map. how can i do?
[10:39] <cdward> no LVM suggestions?
[10:39] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ I only seem to get PCI bridge from the lspci
[10:40] <Chankster> i keep getting this error "bash: ./sb: cannot execute binary file" any ideas?
[10:40] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ I want to know how many *empty* slots
[10:40] <Anders> i have just hit alt+f2 and entered gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[10:40] <tom__> Knight_lord2: i don't know if thats possible.
[10:40] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ I also don't know, that's why I'm asking :-)
[10:40] <Anders> the document is almost empty - so what should I enter? It seems I can choose kernel modules to load?
[10:41] <Knight_Lord2> I have the following interesting line from dmesg
[10:41] <Knight_Lord2> PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfb840, last bus=3
[10:41] <Knight_Lord2> Does last bus = 3 means that I have 4 pci slots?

[10:42] <Anders> what should go into the text file?
[10:42] <tom__> [ginge] : nothing is muted?
[10:42] <faemir_> tom__, hehe
[10:43] <[ginge] > tom__: not that I know of, in the taskbar checking the volume control it's on max
[10:43] <LiENUS> Anders,  you enter those 3 lines i said
[10:43] <tom__> [ginge] : right click it, open volume manager and check.
[10:43] <Anders> sorry - I did not see the 3 lines

[10:45] <tom__> oggy: ask that in #ubuntu-xgl
[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <Anders> Lienus - so now the file looks like this - is it correct? ;# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
[10:45] <Anders> #

[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <BMContagion> Could somebody tell me which parts I need to comment out for the flawed k3d script? I've been googling it a bit and apparently that's the answer due to its' preremoval script being broken? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5479/

[10:45] <TheShrewdDude> Has anyone here had problems with $RANDOM in bash?
[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <LiENUS> saras,  what?
[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <Anders> I am so sorry  - wont happen again
[10:46] <LiENUS> saras, what are you talking about?
[10:46] <LiENUS> Anders,  but yes thats the jist of it...
[10:46] <[ginge] > tom__: everything is fine in the volume control dialogue, moreati: i've read some of that before but the responses from the terminal confused me more than anything. i wrote a post on the official ubuntu forums, but once i started asking for help when i pasted some of hte output from the terminal no one seemed to reply. the only help i got was superficial stuff that was before i came across that document
[10:46] <TheShrewdDude> my bash scripts interpret $RANDOM as a variable.
[10:46] <saras> it wants my password
[10:46] <saras> but i cant write it
[10:46] <LiENUS> saras, your password is hidden
[10:46] <saras> it doesnt write
[10:46] <TheShrewdDude> saras: You _ARE_ typing it; you just can't see it.
[10:46] <LiENUS> the characters wont show up
[10:46] <saras> thanks
[10:46] <Pie-rate> azureus won't start for some reason. http://pastebin.ca/352520 is the output it gives. worked yesterday. icon comes up in the notification area then disappears
[10:46] <TheShrewdDude> Has anyone had problems with $RANDOM in their bash scripts?
[10:46] <POVaddct> saras: the password input just isn't echoed. it's a security feature.
[10:47] <ProN00b> http://www.google.com/trends?q=boobs%2C+ubuntu
[10:47] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: no. what problems would that be?
[10:47] <ProN00b> lol, aweasome
[10:47] <tom__> saras: what is your first language? ubuntu has language specific channels that might help you better.
[10:47] <TheShrewdDude> In my bash scripts, $RANDOM is interpreted as the value of a variable, not a random value.
[10:47] <Anders> Ok - thanks - i will try this, and now reboot - thanks so much
[10:47] <faemir_> Pie-rate, i have always had troubles with azureus :\
[10:47] <TheShrewdDude> While in the terminal, it's still random, but not in scripts.
[10:47] <saras> lituanian
[10:47] <mx259> hello
[10:47] <TheShrewdDude> And since $RANDOM doesn't work, I don't have random number generator functionality in my scripts anymore
[10:47] <saras> lithuanian
[10:47] <SamRose> Question: is apt-get install possible with live cd? I don't appear to be able to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:48] <TheShrewdDude> Has anyone had similar problems?
[10:48] <mx259> can someone help me with wi-fi?
[10:48] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  ubuntu doesnt use bash for /bin/sh
[10:48] <rmd_> mx259: what about it?
[10:48] <LiENUS> does your shell script start with #!/bin/sh?
[10:48] <mx259> how to set it up
[10:48] <TheShrewdDude> Yes, the rest of the script is fine.
[10:48] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: $RANDOM in scripts does work. just make sure you dont have it in single quotes
[10:48] <saras> need to write where is a file in terminal when want to install it? and how (desktop)
[10:48] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, change the first line to #!/bin/bash
[10:48] <TheShrewdDude> It's just that $RANDOM doesn't work for me :(
[10:48] <LiENUS> dont use #!/bin/sh and expect bash specific features to work
[10:48] <rmd_> mx259: in terms of what?  a router?  a wireless card?  getting your system to connect and work with it?
[10:48] <gili> could someone please tell me how to add mp3 gstreamer  pipeline to soundjuicer....? what is the command line for that?
[10:48] <faemir_> SamRose, well you can't edit the sources.list on the cd...
[10:49] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, ubuntu uses dash for /bin/sh
[10:49] <rmd_> gili: sudo apt-get install <program name>
[10:49] <rp3> how do you tell firefox to use VLC instead of Totem?
[10:49] <faemir_> SamRose, and you can't update the cd
[10:49] <TheShrewdDude> lienus: I am using bin/bash.
[10:49] <saras> need to write where is a file in terminal when want to install it? and how (desktop)
[10:49] <tom__> saras: a deb file? just double click it.
[10:49] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: ah, i forgot! in edgy, /bin/sh is not bash
[10:49] <saras> nothing happens
[10:49] <TheShrewdDude> lienus: However, it won't load up random values for $RANDOM; it instead gives me a null value
[10:49] <gili> rmd_: i did not ask about that////
[10:49] <SamRose> faemir_so, I copy sources.list to it's own file?
[10:49] <linxeh> POVaddct: /bin/sh has never been bash? its bash but in "sh" compatibility mode ?
[10:49] <rmd_> gili: what did you ask about, then?
[10:50] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  the first line of the shell script is #!/bin/bash?
[10:50] <saras> just i see two extracted files
[10:50] <linxeh> oh its dash :)
[10:50] <TheShrewdDude> lienus: Yes.
[10:50] <saras> and i cant do anything with it
[10:50] <linxeh> my bad
[10:50] <gili> rmd_: i do not instructions on how to install anything.....i want gstreamer mp3 support in soundjuicer?
[10:50] <TheShrewdDude> I've set up a test script that reads:
[10:50] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  might want to check that because if i have a shellscript #!/bin/sh\necho $RANDOM it gives me a null value
[10:50] <tom__> gili: read the link i sent you. its easy.
[10:50] <LiENUS> but if i change the first line to #!/bin/bash it gives me a random number
[10:50] <POVaddct> linxeh: if /bin/sh is symlinked to bash, things like $RANDOM work even if called as /bin/sh. so it still behaves like bash.
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> #!/bin/bash
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> echo $RANDOM
[10:51] <rmd_> gili: oh.  i misunderstood
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> it returns a null value :(

[10:51] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, type ls -al /bin/bash
[10:51] <tom__> gili: follow that guide!
[10:51] <LiENUS> is it a symbolic link?
[10:51] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: how do you run your script?
[10:51] <gili> tom_: there you are....i am sorry i have looked at that guide brother....i got all the gstreamer pacakages installed
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> povaddct: I use 'sh SCRIPT' in terminal
[10:51] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,
[10:51] <linxeh> POVaddct: yeah - I've experienced that, but forgotten about it :)
[10:51] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  theres your problem
[10:52] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, ru nit as ./SCRIPT  in terminal
[10:52] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: then it is still executed with dash, not bash
[10:52] <TheShrewdDude> Oh! Thanks :)
[10:52] <tom__> gili: did you try rebooting?
[10:52] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: make it executable and run it as ./SCRIPT
[10:52] <mx259> rmd_ i don't know it's my first day on linux
[10:52] <gili> for what?\
[10:52] <k3ks> hi, i've got a problem
[10:52] <TheShrewdDude> thanks, guys, I'll try it :)
[10:52] <TheShrewdDude> Ah, it works.
[10:52] <rmd_> mx259: well, do you know that your installation supports your wireless card.  ie, do you know that it is turned on and cooperating?
[10:53] <gili> tom_: i want an mp3 profile in soundjuicer.....do u know the pipeline tags for that
[10:53] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: the #! is only evaluated if the run the script by calling it directly
[10:53] <mx259> no
[10:54] <rmd_> k
[10:54] <LiENUS> anyone know how to get selinux in ubuntu?
[10:54] <k3ks> if i change the theme of gnome, the window stle doenst change only the colors
[10:54] <tom__> gili: have you restarted soundjuicer?
[10:54] <gili> yep
[10:54] <k3ks> do you have a solution?
[10:54] <tom__> !anyone | lienus
[10:54] <ubotu> lienus: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:54] <gili> tom_: yep
[10:54] <TheShrewdDude> POVaddct: Cool, thanks, i'll try to remember that :)
[10:54] <rmd_> mx259: open up a terminal window, and type "iwconfig" w/o the quotes.  and tell me if you see any entries that do not say "no wireless extensions"
[10:54] <LiENUS> oi i wish i had a down key :/
[10:55] <livingdaylight_> can someone tell me what .m4a format is and what plugin i need to convert it to audio that gnomebaker can burn to cd
[10:55] <k3ks> m4a is from the ipod isn't it?
[10:55] <gili> tom_: i do not know if i am missing something in the gstreamer ....i think i have all of them
[10:55] <tom__> livingdaylight_: its a DRM ridden aac file from the Itunes music store.
[10:56] <tom__> livingdaylight_: there is no way to play it in anything other than itunes.
[10:56] <k3ks> if got ab problem:  if i change the theme of gnome, the window style doesnt change only the colors, does anyone has a solution?
[10:56] <tom__> livingdaylight_: use itunes to burn them all to a cd, then import the cd, and you'll have usable files.
[10:56] <rmd_> does anyone know how to make epic4 stop displaying join/part/logoff messages?
[10:56] <livingdaylight_> tom__, damn, a piece of crap
[10:56] <cheeseboy16> anyone kno a good n64 emulator?
[10:56] <miguel> estooooo, hay espaoles?
[10:57] <tom__> livingdaylight_: don't buy drm music in the future if you plan on using linux, it doesn't work out.
[10:57] <faemir_> livingdaylight_, yup.
[10:57] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i just downloaded it using nicotine off somebody else
[10:57] <nexousNET> Hi, How do I go about adding a shortcut on my desktop to open /opt/lampp/htdocs ?

[10:57] <agliv5> Greetings all :)  I'm am attempting to remove my linux kernel -11 so that I can return to -10 kernel.  I have rebooted using the -10 kernel, what do I do next?
[10:57] <livingdaylight_> tom__, so, i can play it on my computer but i just can't burn it to cd? weird...
[10:57] <LiENUS> agliv5, is there a reason for the regression?
[10:57] <Spragie`> i have an ntfs formatted (IDE) HD w/ music and stuffs on it, how would i go about mounting it so i could access the music and files?
[10:57] <rmd_> mx259: eth1 says something like "IEEE 802.11g" or whatever?
[10:58] <saras> can anyone say how to install deb to me??? two clicks on it nothing do. sorry for my broken english
[10:58] <saras> can anyone say how to install deb to me??? two clicks on it nothing do. sorry for my broken english
[10:58] <saras> can anyone say how to install deb to me??? two clicks on it nothing do. sorry for my broken english
[10:58] <tom__> livingdaylight_: opposite.
[10:58] <LiENUS> saras, sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>
[10:58] <livingdaylight_> tom__, but that is how it is here
[10:58] <LiENUS> without the < or > brackets
[11:02] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i downloaded the album and can play it but can't burn it
[11:02] <k3ks> i repeat, i've got a problem:  if i change the theme of gnome, the window style doesnt change only the colors, does anyone has a solution?
[11:02] <agliv5> LiENUS, yes kqemu isn't compatible with the the newest update of the -11 kernel
[11:02] <mx259> yes
[11:02] <LiENUS> agliv5, you compile kqemu yourself?
[11:02] <rmd_> mx259: do you see anything entered in the "ESSID:" section?
[11:02] <tom__> livingdaylight_: unless you plan on using itunes, there is no easy way of playing it. you have to use ITUNES <--- to burn them to a cd.
[11:02] <Spragie`> i have an ntfs formatted (IDE) HD w/ music and stuffs on it, how would i go about mounting it so i could access the music and files?
[11:02] <cheeseboy16> anyone kno a good n64 emulator?
[11:02] <tom__> !ntfs | spragie`
[11:02] <ubotu> spragie`: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:02] <faemir_> k3ks: are these the built in themes or new ones?
[11:02] <LiENUS> Spragie`, linux doesnt like ntfs
[11:02] <mx259> no
[11:02] <Xif> Hi. Kubuntu let me save my working sessions. Is there something similar for vanilla (==Gnome) Ubuntu?
[11:02] <LiENUS> its ill advised to use ntfs under linux
[11:02] <tom__> Lienus: yes it does.
[11:02] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i don't know if you are hearing me properly. I am playing the album on ubuntu without a problem, just burning is an issue
[11:02] <Spragie`> me either LiENUS
[11:02] <Spragie`> lol
[11:02] <Qzr> Where was the nvidia guild again?
[11:02] <Qzr> guide*
[11:02] <k3ks> faemir_: both
[11:02] <tom__> Lienus: ntfs reading is perfectly fine.
[11:02] <Spragie`> thank you tho tom__
[11:02] <mx259> empty
[11:02] <LiENUS> Spragie`, your best bet is to boot windows and move them to a fat drive...
[11:02] <Qzr> !nvidia
[11:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:02] <faemir_> Spragie`,  i would take it all off, reformat it as fat32, then put back on
[11:02] <saras> (--install):
[11:02] <saras>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[11:02] <saras> Errors were encountered while processing:
[11:02] <saras>  :(((((((((((((((((((((
[11:02] <rmd_> mx259: ok, do me a favor and type "iwlist eth1 scan" and tell me if it comes back with an entry OTHER THAN "ESSID: <hidden>"
[11:02] <k3ks> faemir_: al the murrine themes don't work an even human doesnt work
[11:02] <faemir_> Spragie`, because then both can read/write happily
[11:02] <LiENUS> saras, then apparently you dont have a .deb file to install
[11:02] <faemir_> k3ks, did it work when you first installed?
[11:02] <LiENUS> faemir_, and legally
[11:02] <riley> how do i execute .jar files?
[11:02] <tom__> spragie`: there are absolutely no issues relating to Reading NTFS drives. the problems LiENUS is worried about only happen if you enable Write support, which i also advise you don't do.
[11:02] <DARKGuy> !wmv

[11:02] <saras> realy is :D

[11:02] <agliv5> LiENUS, yes
[11:02] <Advanced> lol
[11:02] <DARKGuy> Project64 is a good one, but I dunno if it has a Linux version
[11:02] <Advanced> i totally failed
[11:02] <mx259> no scan results

[11:12] <Skuller> livingdaylight_*quiet u mean
[11:12] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i think you were wrong about prempting it to be an itunes drm file

[11:15] <LiENUS> faemir_, there are some that do, you have to check the features of each
[11:15] <LiENUS> jexdaw1, theme for gnome?
[11:15] <tom__> faemir_: i wouldn't transcode from mp3 to ogg, you will lose sound quality. both are lossy formats.
[11:15] <jexdaw1> yes
[11:16] <qwerty967> it seems that grsync works withlocal directories only
[11:16] <tom__> jexdaw1: ~/.themes

[11:16] <LiENUS> jexdaw1, pull up System->Preferences->Theme
[11:16] <LiENUS> jexdaw1, then click "install theme"
[11:16] <tom__> pollywog: i don't know what else to say, i don't run a custom kernel or nvidia graphics cards sorry ;)
[11:16] <hairulfr> robbiev: There a lot of tools to do this, probably on all output too
[11:16] <Advanced> lol, great, the prototype install.exe wont connect to the tracker

[11:17] <jexdaw1> lienus, when i do that, it doesn't show the file (which is 44539-buuf-fix.tar.gz) in the install theme dialogue.
[11:17] <faemir_> k3ks, any luck?
[11:17] <k3ks> faemir_: no
[11:17] <tom__> Qzr: beryl is very nice. read the beryl wiki.
[11:17] <agliv5> LiENUS, I found a copy of the error that I was getting Error inserting kqemu (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/misc/kqemu.ko): Invalid module format

[11:17] <Qzr> tom__, kk
[11:17] <LiENUS> jexdaw1, click on "Desktop"
[11:17] <pollywog> what exactly is beryl?
[11:17] <faemir_> k3ks, try uninstalling the kde desktop as well
[11:17] <hairulfr> AIXGL
[11:17] <jexdaw1> aha! thanks lienus

[11:18] <k3ks> faemir_: actually i didn't reinstalld it, becaus i couldn't uninstall it because he said it wasn't installed ^^
[11:18] <k3ks> faemir_: thats my problem
[11:18] <faemir_> k3ks, try installing it anyway :\
[11:18] <jexdaw1> i see. thanks lienus -i've got it working
[11:18] <ElbridgeGerry> barata: Eye candy sells. Windows Vista, anyone?
[11:18] <LiENUS> barata, install beryl, defaults settings then move your mouse to the upper right hand corner and tell me beryl is nothing but eye candy
[11:18] <k3ks> faemir_: i did
[11:18] <tom__> barata: yes and Qzr wants to install it. any more insults for him?
[11:18] <faemir_> k3ks, tried xubuntu?
[11:18] <k3ks> faemir_: no
[11:18] <tom__> barata: don't be rude.
[11:18] <dm> Beryl is awesome LiENUS
[11:19] <qwerty967> what do i type in the destination field to access ssh in grsync?
[11:19] <hairulfr> barata: Beryl rules, and is useful
[11:19] <faemir_> k3ks, do that, it's virtually identical to gnome but much more efficient
[11:19] <barata> phuck beryl ... it's buggy ... better the old one, how you call that?
[11:19] <dm> LiENUS doesnt matter if its eyecandy, eyecandy makes people awesome
[11:19] <faemir_> what is the different between compiz & beryl?
[11:19] <LiENUS> dm, i was giving him an example of something more than just eyecandy
[11:19] <LiENUS> faemir_, beryl is a fork of compiz
[11:19] <Qzr> tom__, could you tell me how to download it? i tried beryl with gnome just recently, had to reinstall ubuntu :|
[11:19] <ElbridgeGerry> LiENUS: I'm running Beryl now. It's so much easier to manage a lot of open windows with it.
[11:19] <dm> LiENUS ah, thats what i get for jumping into a conversation
[11:19] <tom__> Qzr: what ubuntu are you running?
[11:19] <k3ks> faemir_: why should i? i want a problem solved on gnome, not xubunut
[11:19] <faemir_> LiENUS, i know, but what is the advantage of beryl over compiz?
[11:19] <Qzr> tom__, 6.10
[11:20] <jexdaw1> what is the default command in beryl when you move your mouse to the upper right? i have it disabled, and don't remember what was originally there.
[11:20] <LiENUS> dm, barata  claimed beryl was nothing but eyecandy
[11:20] <tom__> qzr: good :D
[11:20] <faemir_> k3ks, i was just suggesting a temporary fix
[11:20] <LiENUS> faemir_, whats the advantage of KDE over gnome?
[11:20] <ElbridgeGerry> jexdaw1: Scales windows
[11:20] <hairulfr> jexdaw1: F8
[11:20] <dm> Faermir_ beryl has alot more options and is just... better
[11:20] <faemir_> LiENUS, shut up :P
[11:20] <LiENUS> jexdaw1, initiate window picker...
[11:20] <barata> yeah ... compiz is actually better ... more stable than beryl ... it's nice to install if you happen to have an account for a kiddo
[11:20] <tom__> qzr: are you using a recent nvidia card?
[11:20] <saras> ;(
[11:20] <k3ks> faemir_: ok, thanx but i'm useing kde anyway
[11:20] <faemir_> LiENUS, the proper intergration of the kde applications :P
[11:20] <Qzr> tom__, geforce go 6200
[11:20] <ElbridgeGerry> I need to get qsynaptics working. Anyone have tips?
[11:20] <jexdaw1> window picker is wonderful... are you claiming its useless eye candy or are you supporting beryl? (sorry, wasn't following convo)
[11:20] <Yodude> hey do KDE apps work in ubuntu?
[11:20] <LiENUS> barata, or if you use your computer at all
[11:20] <agliv5> LiENUS, do you think it might help to reinstall the -11 kernel and rebuild qemu & kquemu?
[11:20] <faemir_> k3ks, try asking someone more knowledgable to try and fix it ;) sorry :(
[11:21] <ElbridgeGerry> jexdaw1: He was supporting beryl
[11:21] <faemir_> Yodude, yup
[11:21] <LiENUS> jexdaw1, me? i'm supporting beryl, barata  is saying beryl is useless
[11:21] <Yodude> they do?
[11:21] <k3ks> faemir_: ok^^ thanx for your try
[11:21] <hairulfr> Yodude: Yeah, but they look real ugly
[11:21] <Yodude> Great!
[11:21] <Yodude> oh
[11:21] <faemir_> Yodude, if you try to install, it should install the dependecies needed
[11:21] <ahave> what is a good app to extract rar balls?
[11:21] <LiENUS> agliv5,  i dont see the -11 kernel in updates...
[11:21] <dm> barata Beryl > all :P
[11:21] <trymmi> Hello, anyone good with Beryl? I've got a problem with suddenly not having frames on my windows, running Ubuntu Edgy
[11:21] <tom__> qzr: i don't have an nvidia card, so i can't attest that this will work for you. http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia
[11:21] <LiENUS> ahave, unrar
[11:21] <Yodude> but why does it look ugly?
[11:21] <pollywog> supermodels are useless eye candy, window managers are not useless
[11:21] <k3ks> bye
[11:21] <dm> supermodels are ugly
[11:21] <ahave> is there one with a gui interface?
[11:21] <jexdaw1> elbridge, lienus, agreed then. beryl is much more useful than i originally thought. <3
[11:21] <tom__> pollywog speaks truth.
[11:21] <faemir_> Yodude, what looks ugly?
[11:22] <tom__> sort of.
[11:22] <pollywog> dm: and that too
[11:22] <barata> oh .. sorry LiENUS ... btw, can you make the desktop to change spirally toward the upper right? That should be cool to have :)))
[11:22] <trymmi> Hello, anyone good with Beryl? I've got a problem with suddenly not having frames on my windows, running Ubuntu Edgy
[11:22] <dm> pollywog thats not my def of beauty
[11:22] <Yodude> no man eyecandy is the new operating system temptation
[11:22] <dm> pollywog :)
[11:22] <faemir_> trymmi, reload emerald
[11:22] <hairulfr> Yodude: BEcause it doesn't integrate with gtk, inmy expereince
[11:22] <Yodude> i swear for example if i show my friend a great looking OS shge would definitly want it
[11:22] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: What faemir_ said
[11:22] <Yodude> Is Beagle the search engine built into ubuntu?
[11:22] <Yodude> Does the included engine index files?
[11:22] <faemir_> you could spend a whole day helping people on here :\
[11:22] <ElbridgeGerry> Yodude: Exactly
[11:22] <ElbridgeGerry> Anyone here use qsynaptics?
[11:23] <tom__> yodude: if you're running edgy it isn't built in.
[11:23] <Yodude> umm
[11:23] <barata> another idea for beryl .... once you click, play a 'Boom!' sound, mushroom appears, current desktop gone and desktop 2/3 appears
[11:23] <Advanced> w00t, think i might be back on track, thanks for trying to help there LiENUS, depending on my opinion on ubuntu, i may be back and contributing :)
[11:23] <Yodude> so does the built-in one index?
[11:23] <ElbridgeGerry> All call for qsynaptics users, all call for  qsynaptics users
[11:23] <Yodude> i haven't seen it indexing
[11:23] <tom__> !qsynaptics | elbridgegerry
[11:23] <ubotu> elbridgegerry: qsynaptics: Synaptic TouchPad configuration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.22.0-6 (edgy), package size 66 kB, installed size 236 kB
[11:23] <barata> btw .... guys .... no Ipod 80GB owner?
[11:23] <ElbridgeGerry> tom_ I know what it is, I need help with it
[11:23] <trymmi> Elbridgegerry: What did Faemir_ say?
[11:24] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: Restart emerald
[11:24] <trymmi> I did.
[11:24] <barata> can we sync 80GB with gtkpod or whatever in linux?
[11:24] <trymmi> Several times.
[11:24] <tom__> barata: have you used itunes 7.... and you're trying to get it to work in linux now???
[11:24] <Yodude> does it?
[11:24] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: Try installing a theme from beryl's website and adding it to emerald.
[11:24] <Yodude> barata: try Banshee Music player it's got the essentials of iTunes
[11:24] <barata> I dont like crossover office
[11:24] <trymmi> Elbridgegerry: Ok thanks
[11:24] <ElbridgeGerry> Does iTunes not work with wine?
[11:25] <barata> Yodude, do you actually use your 80GB with Banshee or just suggest me to?
[11:25] <jexdaw1> i'm running gaim to use this irc and i use it a lot - how do i automatically auth upon logging in?
[11:25] <linxeh> is there an edgy support/dev/package management channel ?
[11:25] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: I'd suggest "Superhuman" in the "Ubuntu" section. Works well with default Ubuntu graphics
[11:25] <LiENUS> jexdaw1,  set a password?
[11:25] <atomiku-linux> I'm trying to run Enemy Territory but it crashes with this: "Received signal 11, exiting..."
[11:25] <Yodude> i use windows for my ipod cuz i need the artwork i have
[11:25] <Yodude> but banshee is great
[11:26] <Yodude> and you can stick with iTunes from time to time but you can use banshee as your media player in linux
[11:26] <ElbridgeGerry> Wait, isn't there a player for GNOME that automatically downloads album art?
[11:26] <tom__> badwarr1or: i'm not registered so i can't respond. quick answer: sorry not interested.
[11:26] <barata> ok ... then here is what I know about bashee ... it sucks .... use amarok
[11:26] <Yodude> you can download your music from your ipod to banshee
[11:26] <Yodude> barata: lol why?
[11:26] <cafuego_> Yodude: gtkpod (the new one) does the artwork just fine.
[11:26] <badwarr1or> tom__: for chat join in #badwarrior
[11:26] <Qzr> tom__, $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xg is that the way to get xgl?
[11:26] <orionrobots> Does anybody here know about running ubuntu in UML?
[11:26] <tom__> omg do not use KDE programs in gnome.
[11:26] <barata> 'cause bansee sucks ... mono stuff ... use amarok
[11:26] <ElbridgeGerry> barata: Most of us are GNOME users. Isn't amarok a KDE application?
[11:26] <LiENUS> Qzr,  what card do you have?
[11:26] <hairulfr> tom__: I Agree..brrr
[11:27] <barata> is this Gnome channel or KDE channel?
[11:27] <tom__> barata: explain how mono stuff sucks. use f-spot and tell me that.
[11:27] <perv> where is ubuntu chanel for noobs?
[11:27] <atomiku-linux> I'm trying to run Enemy Territory but it crashes with this: "Received signal 11, exiting..." how can I fix this?
[11:27] <jexdaw1> ermm.. more icon/theme questions. i right click a desktop icon -> properties -> then click the icon to change it. where are the new icons for the theme i just installed?
[11:27] <Qzr> LiENUS, nvidia go 6200
[11:27] <LiENUS> Qzr, nvidias are best used with aiglx
[11:27] <Yodude> no one answered my question btw: does the built-in search function in edgy index files? if not should i install beagles instead?
[11:27] <pollywog> I thought this channel was for noobs too
[11:27] <trymmi> Elbridgegerry: Doesnt work.
[11:27] <orionrobots> I am having a problem where it is stopping "* Starting kernel event manager...". I have an ubuntu host, and ubuntu guest.
[11:27] <tom__> barata: since ubuntu installs gnome by default, you guess.
[11:27] <LiENUS> i assume you're planning on using beryl...
[11:27] <Qzr> yeah
[11:27] <barata> you want mono or win stuff? just pay a little money and use RealBasic
[11:27] <LiENUS> Qzr,  yeah, you're best bet is aiglx
[11:28] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: Hang on a second, I'll check something in Emerald. (There's always #beryl if you're impatient)
[11:28] <Qzr> could you give me a link or something on how to get it?
[11:28] <barata> write your app in RealBasic for your own quick-needs ... no need mono
[11:28] <BrokenSegue> anyone heard of file system errors after booting into ubuntu after hiberating windows in a dual-boot setup? Are there any fixes for this?
[11:28] <LiENUS> Qzr,  it comes with xorg
[11:28] <Yodude> so should i install beagle?
[11:28] <Yodude> or not?
[11:28] <barata> it sucks .. slow ... and just sucks
[11:28] <tom__> Qzr: yeah sorry i didn't know if AIGLX worked with nvidia cards.
[11:28] <nexousNET> Hi
[11:28] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: Okay, check under the "edit themes" tab in Emerald
[11:28] <tom__> Qzr: AIGLX works amazing for me, using an ati radeon 9550.
[11:28] <orionrobots> There are a million and one ways to do things without forking out for RealBasic - forget that.
[11:29] <LiENUS> Qzr,  are you running 6.06 or 6.10?
[11:29] <nexousNET> Hi, Whenever I visit http://localhost/, it brings me to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost...
[11:29] <trymmi> Elbridgegerry: ye?
[11:29] <nexousNET> Any Ideas?
[11:29] <tom__> barata: open up f-spot real quick and tell me it is not worth using mono.
[11:29] <Qzr> LiENUS, 6.10
[11:29] <tom__> Lienus: 6.10
[11:29] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: Are the settings under "Opacity" higher than 0? (This would be too easy, if so)
[11:29] <LiENUS> Qzr, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Beryl.2FAIGLX_.28Nvidia.29
[11:29] <Qzr> i just installed ubuntu today, so sorry for asking so much
[11:30] <atomiku-linux> I'm trying to run Enemy Territory but it crashes with this: "Received signal 11, exiting..." how can I fix this?
[11:30] <tom__> Lienus: the wiki on the beryl website is probably more up to date.
[11:30] <LiENUS> Qzr,  that link should tell you everything you need...
[11:30] <blenderdan> can anyone help me setup my nvidia drivers?  apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common and added  "NV" in xorg.conf, but I can't get xgl to run, I can't run Blender3d because of this.
[11:30] <barata> ok ... 1 more attempt .... anybody uses Linux with iPod 80GB? Can gtkpod sync movies?
[11:30] <ElbridgeGerry> LiENUS: He speaks the truth
[11:30] <tom__> barata: no. it can't.
[11:30] <Yodude> tom_: please ansnwer me should i get beagle instead of the default search in Ubuntu?
[11:30] <ElbridgeGerry> Yodude: Only if you don't like the default search
[11:30] <Qzr> Is beryl and aiglx the same or?
[11:30] <trymmi> Elbridgegerry: No that's not it mate
[11:30] <tom__> yodude: beagle is an excellent indexing tool. I'd install it :)
[11:30] <barata> why not tom__ .. did you try it already? you use itunes 7?
[11:31] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: Yeah, that'd be too obvious.
[11:31] <tom__> Qzr: AIGLX is one method beryl uses to draw the images.
[11:31] <LiENUS> Qzr, aiglx is to xgl as vanilla yogurt is to unflavored yogurt
[11:31] <barata> iTunes over crossover?
[11:31] <trymmi> Elbridgegerry: It worked fine 2 days ago before X crashed and I had to work that shit out.
[11:31] <Yodude> ok tom
[11:31] <LiENUS> Qzr, both roughly equivilant  just different methods to the same end
[11:31] <tom__> lol.
[11:31] <tom__> barata: video support for ipods doesn't exists in linux i don't believe. and i dont own an ipod.
[11:31] <ElbridgeGerry> trymmi: You may want to try in #beryl. Those guys were pretty helpful to me.
[11:32] <trymmi> Will do
[11:32] <barata> ok ... another speculation .... bye all
[11:32] <Yodude> hey i just added a panel onto my desktop, and i set it to be transparent, so that it looks like a dock, but it seems not to be transparent it just copies the wallpaper behind it. How can i get it to be fully transparent?
[11:32] <blenderdan> Hey should I check  #beryl for Nvidia driver help?
[11:32] <LiENUS> Yodude,  with beryl
[11:32] <tom__> yodude: mmhrmm
[11:32] <agliv5> LiENUS, I do... linux-headers-2.6.17-11-* and linux-image-2.6.17-11-* in synaptic...
[11:32] <barata> dont use beryl too much ... candy is also bad for the eyes, not just your teeth  ...:)))
[11:33] <Yodude> but i real that beryl is beta
[11:33] <orionrobots> Is there anybody here who knows anything about Ubuntu init/upstart and UML?
[11:33] <Yodude> and it screw up ubuntu
[11:33] <Yodude> read*
[11:33] <DARKGuy> what about transset and xcompmgr ?
[11:33] <ElbridgeGerry> Yodude: I'm running beryl just fine. Nothing's 'screwed up'
[11:33] <Yodude> isn't Compiz better?
[11:33] <LiENUS> i'm running beryl subversion... nothing screwed up...
[11:33] <LiENUS> Yodude,  compiz should be able to achieve the same end..
[11:33] <tom__> yodude: it is not even beta yet. its close. it is very usable though, and somewhat stable. there are just many features missing from it.
[11:33] <ElbridgeGerry> Yodude: Haven't tried Compiz.
[11:34] <Yodude> man if one think i like in OSes is eye candy
[11:34] <faemir_> tom__: what does beryl currently have over compiz?
[11:34] <Yodude> lol :-P
[11:34] <ElbridgeGerry> Barata: You can still get the productivity features of beryl without the eye candy: it's highly customizable.
[11:35] <Anti-Tedd> I'm on a wireless laptop, and I've heard that adhoc can cause some bandwith issues- can someone tell me how I can check if I'm on ADHOC or INFRA?
[11:35] <tom__> faemir_: i believe beryl has plugins compiz doesn't have, and i think beryl has better AIGLX support, but i'm not sure.
[11:35] <nexousNET> Hi, Whenever I visit http://localhost/, it brings me to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost...
[11:35] <LjL> is it possible to have Xinerama split the screen into a real monitor and a VNC service (or FreeNX, or whatever is best for a Fastethernet connection)?
[11:35] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, iwconfig
[11:35] <albe> Hi everyone
[11:35] <nexousNET> Anyone know why it isn't displaying /opt/htdocs/...
[11:35] <tom__> nexousNET: do you have a webserver installed?
[11:35] <PwcrLinux> Hello all, is the kernel 10 stable or use back down to 9 more stable on breezy?
[11:35] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  run iwconfig, find your wireless card and look for the line that has "Mode:" in it
[11:36] <nexousNET> tom__: yes
[11:36] <albe> Anyone has experience with keyboard 6000v2 ?
[11:36] <LjL> nexousNET: hahah... that must be your DNS :-) does /etc/hosts and possibly /etc/resolv.conf list localhost?
[11:36] <ElbridgeGerry> GAH!
[11:36] <mc44> LjL: you cant just run vnc and position it on one half of the monitor?
[11:36] <PwcrLinux> 2.6.12-10-386
[11:36] <Yodude> hey how can i add the "Backports" repository on Edgy?
[11:36] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, it just says "managed"
[11:36] <tom__> !backports
[11:36] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[11:36] <bytekode> quick question, does 6.10's GUI installer support resizing NTFS partitions?
[11:36] <Yodude> do i need it for flash?
[11:37] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  thats infrastructure mode
[11:37] <nexousNET> LjL: give me a minute and I'll check.
[11:37] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, alright...hm
[11:37] <Anti-Tedd> is there a way I can switch to adhoc
[11:37] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, different way of saying the same thing
[11:37] <LjL> mc44: hm no, that's not what i meant... basically, i have a Windows machine with its own monitor next to me, and i'd like to have one of my Ubuntu workspaces on its monitor
[11:37] <tom__> bytekode: i think if there is lots of unoccupied space around it... i don't know, i haven't used NTFS partitions in a long time.
[11:37] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, adhoc is for two computers communicating directly
[11:37] <LjL> mc44: in other words, dual monitor but with one of the monitors not being local
[11:37] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, managed mode is for a network consisting of many computers
[11:37] <mc44> LjL: ooooh right, Sicko!
[11:37] <bytekode> tom__: my friend wants to try ubuntu, but his entire disk is a single NTFS partition, and i haven't used gparted in a while ;)
[11:37] <ElbridgeGerry> I hate the fact that I can't make a stupid tap on the touch pad NOT register a click. Don't tell me "qsynaptics" either, the driver you need doesn't work in the the repositories and the one onsite asks me for a prerequisite I already have.
[11:38] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, this is my laptop and my computer. that's it
[11:38] <ElbridgeGerry> bytekode: Yes, you can resize.
[11:38] <Anti-Tedd> Do you mean directly as in wired?
[11:38] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, what about the internet?
[11:38] <blenderdan> I realy need help.  I'v been at this all day.   after I install nvidia-glx my system still runs, but nothing that requirs xgl will run.  If I go threw the process " How to install Xgl/Compiz" on the unofficial ubuntu starter guid.   My system will give me an error and not load the GUI.
[11:38] <bytekode> ElbridgeGerry: thanks
[11:38] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, theres a couple million computers on that...
[11:38] <Anti-Tedd> feh
[11:38] <fl00d> hi
[11:38] <LjL> mc44: eh, that's not all, i also want to do the vice versa, i.e. see Windows on my main screen :-P (because you know, the monitors are apart and using the keyboard and mouse of the other machine isn't too comfortable)
[11:38] <tom__> bytekode: and he wants to save all his music, etc.... if the drive is completely NTFS, you're going to need a drive to back stuff up to on.
[11:38] <Anti-Tedd> Well, something is causing me to have godawful download speeds on the ubuntu servers and I can't tell what it is
[11:38] <jojoman02_> how do i find out what sound module my kernel has loaded for my sound card?
[11:39] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, i seriously doubt its your wireless network being in managed mode
[11:39] <fl00d> ive got a problem with ubuntu freezing on installation startup
[11:39] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, okay. Thanks.
[11:39] <LjL> jojoman02_: try  lshw -class sound  and/or  lsmod | grep snd 
[11:39] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, do you have any idea what it might be?
[11:39] <tom__> Anti-Tedd: lots of traffic... it happens to everyone.
[11:39] <Anti-Tedd> tom_ not like this.
[11:39] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, might just be the servers, try a mirror
[11:39] <jojoman02_> LjL: Gracias, Thankz
[11:39] <tom__> Anti-Tedd: set it up to use an ubuntu server near you.
[11:39] <nexousNET> LjL: 'o127.0.0.1 localhost nexousCORE' is in hosts.
[11:39] <tom__> aka a mirror as Lienus said.
[11:39] <Anti-Tedd> tom__, how would one go about doing so?
[11:39] <Anti-Tedd> my sources.list?
[11:40] <LjL> nexousNET: is that "o" actually there or is it a typo?
[11:40] <Advanced> ok, the install fails to mount on ram0 (unknown volume type), also fails to mount on dev, sys and proc. I also get the msg, "Target file system doesnt have sbin/init" then i am taken to busybox command line with "initramfs" before my type line
[11:40] <Advanced> i also get "job controll turned off"
[11:40] <Advanced> any clues? :S
[11:40] <pollywog> Advanced: that hapened to me too
[11:40] <Advanced> sorry to be such a nooby pain
[11:40] <pollywog> twice
[11:40] <atomiku-linux> Advanced i got that error before
[11:40] <pollywog> I do not know how to fix it so I reinstalled
[11:40] <atomiku-linux> was something to do with grub config
[11:40] <atomiku-linux> i cant type now
[11:40] <Salty> !clicknrun
[11:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clicknrun - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:40] <Advanced> i cant install it in the first place lol
[11:41] <atomiku-linux> one hande is honlding nose
[11:41] <thekidrio> i could only get beryl svn to work on my system
[11:41] <atomiku-linux> nosebleed lol
[11:41] <pollywog> to prevent it I fixed fstab
[11:41] <fl00d> could someone help me?
[11:41] <tom__> salty: this is ubuntu, not that other distribution.
[11:41] <atomiku-linux> *hand
[11:41] <pollywog> I am using the old fstab format
[11:41] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, how would I go about using a miror closer to me?
[11:41] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, for what?
[11:41] <nexousNET> LjL: yes the o is in there.
[11:41] <pollywog> click n run is coming to Ubuntu
[11:41] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, repos.
[11:41] <pollywog> so I have heard
[11:41] <Anti-Tedd> Right now i'm downloading updates
[11:41] <tom__> pollywog: you're kidding me.
[11:41] <LjL> nexousNET: uhm, i have no clue why - did you ever edit that file manually? anyway, remove the "o", it has no place there
[11:42] <Advanced> i dont even know what fstab is
[11:42] <Advanced> ;-;
[11:42] <pollywog> it will be an option
[11:42] <Anti-Tedd> And my speeds are godawful- fluxuating from actual bits to about 12kb/s
[11:42] <Advanced> in?
[11:42] <tom__> pollywog: they sell software available for free and make a profit. its horrible.
[11:42] <Anti-Tedd> (My connection is cable.)
[11:42] <nexousNET> LjL: no I never have, but okay.
[11:42] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, one sec
[11:42] <Anti-Tedd> Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
[11:42] <pollywog> tom: yes but they offer easy configuation and proprietary drivers
[11:42] <zyth> tom__, no, the free software is free, the commercial software you pay for
[11:42] <LjL> nexousNET: well, it's a trivial thing, and yet if you are very sure you never edited that file, it sounds suspicious somewhat...
[11:42] <fl00d> can someone tell me why my ubuntu is freezing on intital startup? i havent even installed it yet
[11:42] <mc44> tom__: that may well be true, but its offtopic for this channel
[11:42] <nexousNET> LjL: how do I change it from read-only?
[11:43] <faemir_> tom__: so when looking for stable I should use compiz instead?
[11:43] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, hit alt+f2 type in "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" without the quotes
[11:43] <LjL> nexousNET: wait, don't change it yet
[11:43] <riley> !java
[11:43] <Yodude> so what good games is there for ubuntu?
[11:43] <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
[11:43] <nexousNET> LjL: okay.
[11:43] <LjL> nexousNET: do an  ls -l /etc/hosts  - when was it last modified?
[11:43] <Salty> haha i started war
[11:43] <pollywog> Advanced: I would reinstall but before you upgrade, save a backup of /etc/fstab
[11:43] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, coulda just said "open up sources.list" ;)
[11:43] <Yodude> i was thinking of getting kbattleship
[11:43] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, are you in the usa or canada?
[11:43] <tom__> faemir_: i don't know i don't use compiz, but i can tell you this: beryl is very stable for me.
[11:43] <faemir_> tom__: (and what is the objective of the fork of beryl btw)
[11:43] <Yodude> or scroched3D
[11:43] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, USA, new york to be exact.
[11:43] <mc44> !games | Yodude
[11:43] <faemir_> tom__: ok
[11:43] <ubotu> Yodude: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[11:43] <elyon> I'm having an issue.  I've copied my previous ~/.mozilla folder from KDE into Gnome, but firefox doesn't seem to recognize it.  Are those settings stored in a different location under gnome?
[11:43] <faemir_> tom__: bit of a memory whore when everything is turned on though :P
[11:43] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, add us. to the front of each host like "archive.ubuntu.org"
[11:43] <tom__> faemir_: just don't expect to be playing games or watching high res videos.
[11:43] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  so its us.archive.ubuntu.org
[11:44] <Trini_Man> hi every one
[11:44] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  and security.ubuntu.org is us.security.ubuntu.org
[11:44] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, that's already there.
[11:44] <pollywog> and make certain you copy the old fstab over the new one after you upgrade to the latest kernel image
[11:44] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd, then you're already using us only...
[11:44] <Trini_Man> i juss did an update in ubuntu 6.10 and i got this error "Failed to Load Nvidia Kernel module "
[11:44] <shatrat> faemir_, the purpose of the fork was to include a lot of changes that compiz was slow about adopting.
[11:44] <pollywog> I did that and it saved me from a 3rd disaster
[11:44] <nexousNET> LjL: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 254 2007-02-09 17:53 /etc/hosts
[11:44] <Trini_Man>  i juss did an update in ubuntu 6.10 and i got this error "Failed to Load Nvidia Kernel module "
[11:44] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  lemme see if theres a way to narrow it down further
[11:44] <LjL> LiENUS: are you sure? i thought security had only one mirror - that being security.ubuntu.com (not .org)
[11:45] <fl00d> jesus is someone gonna help me? ive been waiting 5 mins for a response
[11:45] <Trini_Man> how do i fix this
[11:45] <alienseer23> if I mount using this "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop '/tmp/kde-alienseer23/k3b_image.iso'  /media/ndtools" how do I unmount?
[11:45] <LjL> nexousNET: so it was modified two days ago at about 6pm, do you recall doing anything special at that time?
[11:45] <LiENUS> LjL, good point its .com not .org
[11:45] <Qzr> LiENUS,you know what windowsmanager does this fellow use: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZD7QraljRfM ?
[11:45] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, thanks.
[11:45] <mc44> !patience | fl00d
[11:45] <ubotu> fl00d: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[11:45] <LjL> LiENUS: but also there's no us. in front of it i think
[11:45] <Trini_Man>  i juss did an update in ubuntu 6.10 and i got this error "Failed to Load Nvidia Kernel module "
[11:45] <faemir_> shatrat, thanks :)
[11:45] <nexousNET> LjL: I had previously tried compiling my own server by myself, But I'm now using Xampp for Linux because it wasn't working,.
[11:46] <LjL> Trini_Man: you have installed nvidia drivers from third parties, yes? you need to update those
[11:46] <tom__> fl00d: most people help if they know the answer, but if you don't get an answer its probably because nobody knows.
[11:46] <zyth> Trini_Man, if you updated your kernel you need to rebuild and reinstall the nvidia kernel module
[11:46] <LiENUS> LjL, you're right heh just checked against the source-omatic
[11:46] <hairulfr> fl00d: Jeus, chill
[11:46] <LiENUS> Qzr, prolly emerald
[11:46] <Trini_Man> zyth: how do i do this ?
[11:46] <LiENUS> Qzr,  it looks like emerald and beryl to me
[11:46] <tom__> Qzr: emerald is installed with beryl.
[11:46] <alienseer23> how do I unmount an image mounted using "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loopexample.iso  /mount/place/" ??
[11:46] <Trini_Man> install nvidia common
[11:46] <jojoman02_> LjL: how do i get the name i use in the alsa config? is there an easier way to get it (i'm trying to make a guide to help with a problem) like "snd-via82xx" directly after a command (with the current sound card)
[11:46] <fl00d> ive chilled for 5 minutes... recognition would have been satisfactory
[11:46] <zyth> Trini_Man, same way you installed it in the frist place? I dunno I don't have an nvidia card
[11:47] <LjL> nexousNET: uhm, ok then i guess it's probably xampp that did it... ok, anyway, that /etc/hosts files is not "read-only", it's simply owned by root with write permissions for root only -- and it should stay that way
[11:47] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, I'm guessing there's no better way to narrow it down
[11:47] <mc44> fl00d: as you can see the channle is very busy
[11:47] <Trini_Man> zyth: ehh i have tried everything
[11:47] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  nop
[11:47] <dariliaz> irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-fr
[11:47] <tom__> fl00d: theres 1000 people in here. demanding a response is unreasonable for you to ask.
[11:47] <Trini_Man> zyth: i going and give it one last try
[11:47] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  the most you can do is us... you could try ca?
[11:47] <LjL> nexousNET: just edit it with root privileges:  gksudo gedit /etc/hosts , or sudo nano /etc/hosts  if you're from a console
[11:47] <Trini_Man> zyth:brb
[11:47] <zyth> Trini_Man, good luck
[11:47] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, alright, thanks a lot. I have to find what's wrong here, because it can't be the server
[11:47] <Anti-Tedd> I mean, it's pitifully slow and I'm on cable
[11:48] <tom__> fl00d: now since it's been a while, try asking your problem again. maybe somebody does know, but didn't see your question.
[11:48] <negen> any one having problems with saved passwords in firefox ?
[11:48] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  someitmes cable is slow
[11:48] <ahave> i tried to do an aptitude install for unrar, and got this mesage:  E: Couldn't find package untat-free
[11:48] <Anti-Tedd> LiENUS, it's not sometimes, it's always
[11:48] <Anti-Tedd> And just when I'm downloading from the repos
[11:48] <negen> seems one of the newest updates broke something
[11:48] <LiENUS> Anti-Tedd,  try removing us.
[11:48] <Anti-Tedd> OK
[11:48] <ahave> is there a better way of obtaining unrar?
[11:48] <tom__> fl00d: but remember expecting anything from volunteers isn't nice ;)
[11:48] <jojoman02_> ahave: you spelled unrar as untat
[11:48] <LiENUS> ahave, than?
[11:49] <bl4cktone> Hey guys, what's up
[11:49] <fl00d> ubuntu LiveCD freezes when I try and run it from restart. Any ideas why? lol tom :P
[11:49] <Malmsdoom> hi...i need help with evolution...i have to enter my gpg-passwd every time i write an email...that drives me crazy... is there a better solution?
[11:49] <ahave> than using aptitude?
[11:49] <auTONYmous> Anybody have an opinion about the Linspire Click'N'Run/Canonical announcement
[11:49] <pollywog> untat sounds like a dermatology precedure
[11:49] <tom__> fl00d: how much memory do you have?
[11:49] <hairulfr> ahave: Synaptic?
[11:49] <ahave> doe, yea. i did spell it wrong
[11:49] <mc44> auTONYmous: that is offtopic for this channel
[11:49] <jojoman02_> auTONYmous: yeah, it won't bring ubuntu down, and i don't think anyone will use it
[11:49] <floobit> any advice on HAL failing and not being able to access user permissions?  should I wipe and start over?
[11:49] <tom__> fl00d: the live cd requres at least 256MB of memory.
[11:49] <ahave> idk, what is synaptic?
[11:49] <ahave> ill google nvm
[11:49] <fl00d> 256
[11:49] <auTONYmous> mc44: why so?
[11:49] <faemir_> general question: what is the difference between using 'apt-get' & 'aptitude'
[11:50] <mc44> auTONYmous: this is for support :) see #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussions
[11:50] <tom__> fl00d: you weren't installing any programs or downloading files while using the livecd were you? remember these things take up memory.
[11:50] <alienseer23> can anyone help me, please? I need to know how to unmount an iso image mounted using loop?
[11:50] <negen> synaptic is a package manager i  think is what it is called
[11:50] <jojoman02_> faemir_: aptitude doesn't have Super Cow Powers and has a GUI
[11:50] <hairulfr> ahave: Synaptic Package Manger in  "Administration"
[11:50] <Qzr> last time i installed beryl i just followed http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia
[11:50] <fl00d> Tom: Nope I restarted comp so nothing else could be running except CD
[11:50] <floobit> synaptic is a gui that is a frontend for  apt-get
[11:50] <tom__> alienseer23: add the disk mount thing to your panel, you can unmount it very easily that way.
[11:51] <kritical> alienseer23, `sudo umount /mount/point'
[11:51] <faemir_> jojoman02_: but when i use terminal and want to install something, is there a difference in using either?
[11:51] <tom__> fl00d: are you trying to install ubuntu with the livecd?
[11:51] <alienseer23> I will try, it keeps telling me it failed, that loop os not mounted
[11:51] <tom__> fl00d: try the alternate installation cd.
[11:51] <Malmsdoom> hi...i need help with evolution...i have to enter my gpg-passwd every time i write an email...that drives me crazy... is there a better solution?
[11:51] <KrakensDen> Trini_Man, did you install the nvidia driver manually?
[11:51] <auTONYmous> mc44: alright, I'll bend...since nobody's actually in the offtopic channel...
[11:51] <tom__> fl00d: it requires less memory because it doesn't boot a live session.
[11:51] <jojoman02_> faemir_: i don't think it makes that big of a diff, i head read (not sure) that aptitude handles dependancies better but i'm unsure of that, apt-get works just fine for me
[11:52] <fl00d> Tom: yes. It says to reboot so I reboot and then ubuntu screen loads and asks if I want to try/install ubuntu I click that one and then it loads for a few minites and then freezes
[11:52] <mc44> auTONYmous: er.. there is 133 people in there
[11:52] <knovak> Anyone know what software I could use to capture screen movement, and make it into a video, so I can show off my desktop and such?
[11:52] <tom__> Malmsdoom: enable the " remember password" function
[11:52] <faemir_> jojoman02_: okay, because on some website that told you how to install kde on ubuntu (etc) it said to always use aptitude because it made uninstalling much easier or something :S
[11:52] <billybob> anyone here run XFS file system, or have run it for long periods of time ?
[11:52] <auTONYmous> mc44...hmm...musta typoed...
[11:52] <tom__> fl00d: install ubuntu using the alternate cd, it uses less memory, you'll probably have more success.
[11:52] <alienseer23> eh, me stoopid poodle, had wrong syntax...thanks for humoring my moment of ignorance
[11:53] <Malmsdoom> tom__: yes i did that...but it only works until the next retart of evolution ^^
[11:53] <fl00d> Tom: Which is the alternate CD? my friend downloaded it for me because my internet is slow and I have low bandwit
[11:53] <LiENUS> billybob,  im running xfs on my laptop and my server
[11:53] <tom__> Malmsdoom: then feel happy your emails are nice and private :D
[11:53] <alienseer23> next stoopid question: do I mount it to a specific point (an iso image) if I want to play it as a dvd? (which point?)
[11:53] <tom__> fl00d: you want ubuntu dapper right? 6.06??
[11:54] <billybob> LiENUS: how reliable is it, i set up a XFS moutn yesterday, and man, its fast, but reliability is mroe of a concern
[11:54] <fl00d> Tom: yes
[11:54] <glundberg> has anyone had a problem with kubuntu hanging during reboot?
[11:54] <LiENUS> billybob,  i havent had any issues with it on my laptop...
[11:54] <tom__> alienseer23: i think mplayer can read iso files.
[11:54] <billybob> LiENUS: how long have you had it on your laptop ?
[11:54] <Crescendo> It seems like a good number of Java applets crash Firefox on Ubuntu, but not other Linux OSes - http://gwing.net/chat.php and http://ac3.metawerx.net - any ideas on how to resolve this?
[11:54] <Malmsdoom> tom__: *sigh  ...the passwd is very long ^^ ... in kontact gpg-agent does the job
[11:54] <LiENUS> billybob, ~ a month
[11:54] <mc44> LjL: finished? :)
[11:54] <alienseer23> mplayer isn't friendly with my .asoundrc file
[11:54] <tom__> fl00d: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#lts
[11:55] <fl00d> Tom: maybe though it could be because its an old pc trying to run. 500mhz celeron d
[11:55] <tom__> choose where you live, and download the alternate image.
[11:55] <billybob> LiENUS: basically, right now, Im moving all my important data from USB< to my 6.10 CLI server
[11:55] <Malmsdoom> perhaps i try sylpheed
[11:55] <tom__> Malmsdoom: its the gnome keymanager handling your password..
[11:55] <jojoman02_> faemir_: yeah well if the website said it i'm sure they had a legit reason, use aptitude...
[11:56] <fl00d> Tom: thats the one my friend downloaded for me
[11:56] <LiENUS> billybob, backups are still important
[11:56] <dimeotane> any truecrypt useers around?
[11:56] <billybob> LiENUS: whcih also involves moving the drives from USB enclosures, to into the server its self
[11:56] <tom__> fl00d: the alternate one?
[11:56] <billybob> LiENUS: yeah, well this IS my backup ;)
[11:56] <fl00d> Tom: yes
[11:56] <LiENUS> billybob,  reliability wont protect you from an accidental rm -rf /
[11:56] <Malmsdoom> tom__: no...does evo. need a  connection?
[11:56] <billybob> LiENUS: hence why these drives are only mounted when i need the data ;)
[11:56] <tom__> malmsdoom: no it has an offline mode
[11:57] <tom__> fl00d: i don't know what to say.
[11:57] <ahave> hmm.. still trying to unrar a 'rar'... i did the apt-get install on unrar-free but it seems to fail on extraction?
[11:57] <LiENUS> billybob, or hackers...
[11:57] <billybob> LiENUS: and as far as 'accidental' rm -rf / lol, man . . .that would never happen ;)
[11:57] <atomiku-linux> I'm trying to run Enemy Territory but it crashes with this: "Received signal 11, exiting..." how can I fix this?
[11:57] <fl00d> Tom: I think its just my computer now. Its old and slow
[11:57] <tom__> ahave: is it passworded....
[11:57] <LiENUS> billybob, it happens...
[11:57] <RPO> anyone know how to backup the boot sector and parition table?
[11:57] <ahave> tom__,  i dont think so.. it didnt ask for one
[11:57] <billybob> LiENUS: anyone 'accidentally' rm -rf / gets what they deserve ;)
[11:57] <Malmsdoom> tom__: hmm thats worth a try...thx
[11:57] <faemir_> jojoman02_: it is only 1 more letter long :P
[11:57] <tom__> atomiku-linux: read on the ememy territory bug site see if theres any info there.
[11:57] <LiENUS> sometimes youl'l type "rm -rf files *" isntead of "rm -rf files*"
[11:57] <LiENUS> billybob,  and that one happens a lot
[11:58] <hairulfr> ahave: Multiverse has a un-free unrar
[11:58] <billybob> LiENUS: im very carefull not to do that
[11:58] <hairulfr> *an
[11:58] <billybob> LiENUS: only time ive issued a command like that, was on purpose, just to see what would happen ;)
[11:58] <ahave> un-free? i dont think i like the sound of that..
[11:58] <atomiku-linux> ive chekced
[11:58] <negen> that is the one you need
[11:58] <glundberg> has anyone had a problem with ubuntu hanging during reboot?
[11:58] <billybob> ie i was goign to reinstall anyhow
[11:58] <hairulfr> ahave: as not opensource
[11:58] <tom__> ahave: its not really unfree.... it has an unlimited trial period,...
[11:58] <Fraj> hi
[11:59] <tom__> and rarlabs does release their sources.
[11:59] <linxeh> billybob: rm -rfv / as root is actually quite fun. its amusing to see just what fails and when :D
[11:59] <billybob> LiENUS: anyhow, XFS is journaling, was just hoping someone might share some experience wit hthe matter
[11:59] <Fraj> how can i uninstall ubuntu?
[11:59] <ahave> tom_, does it expire to the point where i can no longer use it?
[11:59] <dimeotane> I'm looking for a program to password protect / encrypt my folder of business stuff.  any suggestions?
[11:59] <negen> ahave no
[11:59] <fl00d> Tom: I'm going to try re-partioning my drive. Delete all my other OS's. Ive only got 4GB left
[11:59] <faemir_> question: what do i type into terminal to unzip .7zs?
[11:59] <tom__> billybob: why are you running xfs over ext3?
[11:59] <tom__> ahave: nope.
[11:59] <billybob> LiENUS: its been my experience, that when something is fast, that normally things often dont always work reliably
[11:59] <Fraj> how can i uninstall ubuntu?
[11:59] <dimeotane> fl00d: it's always a nice feeling to finally clean out that other crappy OS
[11:59] <comster> how can I stop the gui login from coming up at boot?  It just started launching it again for no reason.
[11:59] <tom__> Fraj: install something else over it.
[12:00] <billybob> tom__: because its much faster than ext3 + samba
[12:00] <mon^rch> just love ntfs-3g!
[12:00] <ahave> is it better than unrar-free?
[12:00] <faemir_> fraj: wipe the partition
[12:00] <LiENUS> billybob, xfs has been in linux ~ 6 years
[12:00] <Fraj> faemir_ how do i do that
[12:00] <LiENUS> it was originally designed 12 years ago
[12:00] <hanso> hey. when I install a new kernel (linux-generic package) how do I boot into that kernel and not the old. is apt-get dist-upgrade enough?
[12:00] <Fraj> as it wont even let me boot from a bootable cd
[12:00] <agliv_> LiENUS, would you suggest trying -11 or -10?
[12:00] <alienseer23> !k3b
[12:00] <billybob> tom__: XFS +samba give me ~50MB/s network trasfers, thats pretty good compared to ext3 + samba, which is around ~10MB/s slower
[12:00] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[12:00] <LiENUS> agliv_, i dont know i dont see -11 in updates yet...
[12:00] <fl00d> dimeotane: yes windows is boring. one thing, how can I repartition? the only way I know is to use windows install cd
[12:01] <faemir_> Fraj: using a partition manager - there is a free one in ubuntu
[12:01] <Fraj> whats it called?
[12:01] <faemir_> Fraj: called gnome partition manager or gparted
[12:01] <ElbridgeGerry> Fraj: gparted
[12:01] <Fraj> thanks
[12:01] <Fraj> :)
[12:01] <tom__> billybob: well if that 10mb/s is worth any hassles you experience, go for it.
