[12:01] <bruenig> LJHarb, link to what you are trying to compile
[12:01] <MrSiebel> Rambo3: I got as far as  $ tar xvfz RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.0.tar.gz
[12:01] <LJHarb> i have the mysql-server source, and the sphinx search engine files, but i have no idea how to compile mysql with sphinx - can anyone help?
[12:01] <royel> bruenig: he still didnt catch on :)
[12:01] <sethk> LJHarb, sure, but the answer varies depending on what you are building
[12:01] <Flannel> !compile | LJHarb
[12:01] <ubotu> LJHarb: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:01] <Richardson183> LJHard:>yeah just open a terminal switch to the folder and type in ./configure
[12:01] <Advanced> tis built into the chipset
[12:01] <bruenig> royel, yeah, I wish they hadn't changed it to add the "keep in mind I am just a bot" part
[12:01] <rambo3> MrSiebel,  cd RT61_Linux  and then press "tab" button
[12:01] <Richardson183> most of the time
[12:01] <LJHarb> ok i can handle the ./configure part
[12:01] <bruenig> so funny when people would complain at him and he would just say your welcome
[12:02] <LJHarb> there arent any prebuilt mysql/sphinx packages ive found yet tho.

[12:02] <MrSiebel> Rambo: $ cp -f Makefile.6 Makefile ???
[12:02] <MrSiebel> Thats where I'm stuck
[12:03] <rambo3> MrSiebel, cd Module
[12:03] <karamboola> hello everyone :)
[12:03] <macd> Ive got a apache2 install on dapper, standard http://host/ works but http://host/~username does not, I see some commented userdir directives in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Im under the impression those are deprecated and as long as you have /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf/load linked to mods-available userdirs should work
[12:03] <MrSiebel> Then makefile?
[12:03] <Flannel> macd: correct, a2enmod userdir will enable that.
[12:04] <macd> its already symlinked, do I still need to run a2enmod ?
[12:04] <rambo3> MrSiebel, cp  now the file
[12:04] <karamboola> i'm kinda more familiar with unix than windows, but unfortunately the situation is what it is and many companys wants to use M$'s servers
[12:04] <Flannel> macd: no, that's all a2enmod does ;)  you do need to restart apache
[12:04] <elpargo> does update-manager supports third-party repos?
[12:04] <macd> Flannel, yeah did a apache2 force-reload
[12:04] <MrSiebel> $ cp -f Makefile.6 Makefile ???
[12:04] <macd> let me try a stop/start
[12:05] <rambo3> MrSiebel, yes
[12:05] <cyberix> Which driver module should I load for my DWA-547 wireless card?
[12:05] <karamboola> so today i had to do a windoze relative task at my work and add a network printer to a active directory win client's pc
[12:05] <sethk> elpargo, yes, you can add repos to it
[12:05] <macd> Flannel, I do get a warning on stop/start "[Thu Feb 15 17:20:57 2007]  [warn]  NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts"
[12:05] <elpargo> sethk, umm shouldn't it read /etc/apt/sources.lst ?
[12:05] <macd> but I dont think warnings will stop it from loading
[12:05] <rambo3> MrSiebel,  i hope you are not typing $ sign when falowing the wiki
[12:05] <sethk> elpargo, yes, I believe so; that's what the various package managers read
[12:06] <elpargo> . /lst/list
[12:06] <MrSiebel> What exactly do I replace with "Makefile.6"
[12:06] <abyss> dooglus, what i have to ask the boot to get the beryl + xgl howto?
[12:06] <karamboola> in win world, you must log on to every client's account in order to install a network printer ... how is this done in linux?
[12:06] <MrSiebel> No
[12:06] <sethk> elpargo, .list is correct, yes.
[12:06] <macd> in fact, I get a 500 internal error whenever trying to access a userdir.
[12:06] <dooglus> abyss: syntax error
[12:06] <sethk> karamboola, pretty much the same way.  You tell it to log in as so and so.
[12:06] <Flare183> karaboola:> samba
[12:06] <dooglus> abyss: 'ask the boot'?
[12:06] <] Baran[> Hello I need help with the GParted program, I am getting an error message. I'd like it if someone pmed me please :)
[12:07] <Flannel> macd: do you have ~/public_html/?
[12:07] <macd> karamboola, network printer?
[12:07] <dooglus> !beryl | abyss
[12:07] <macd> Flannel, of course ;)
[12:07] <ubotu> abyss: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:07] <dooglus> abyss: the BOT, I see :)
[12:07] <HymnToLife> ] Baran[, and what does it say ?
[12:07] <karamboola> macd, yes a hp's network printer
[12:07] <MrSiebel> Rambo 3: MAkefile.6 No such file or dir ??
[12:07] <dooglus> abyss: but see http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu - that's the page I used
[12:07] <] Baran[> HymnToLife: can I PM you?
[12:07] <macd> karamboola, you can set system wide hplips/cups settings.
[12:07] <abyss> ahh ^^
[12:07] <elpargo> sethk, so if it's there and there is an update it will fetch it? or I have to add some config somewhere
[12:07] <Flannel> macd: and, you get a 500 error?
[12:08] <sethk> karamboola, what macd said, you don't need to mess with the windows login at all
[12:08] <macd> karamboola,  then add your users to the printer group and whalla.
[12:08] <yell0w> Advanced, what's your motherboard model ?
[12:08] <karamboola> sethk, isn't there a more smoother way to do this? if there was a LAN with 200 clients and them get a new network printer, the admins must logon to every account separately?
[12:08] <macd> Flannel, yessir
[12:08] <rambo3> MrSiebel, tyoe ls -l and see that it is there
[12:08] <Norf-ubu> cheers to the ppl that helped with internet connection sharing - all worked :D
[12:08] <sethk> elpargo, if the entry for it has the same form as other repos that update, then it will behave the same way.
[12:08] <sethk> elpargo, there's nothing special about any repo; everything that matters in in the source.list
[12:08] <macd> Flannel, I would assume no, but does the www group need write access to the public_html dir?
[12:09] <sethk> karamboola, there's a way to get around that in windows, too, but I'm not enough of a windows person to tell you how.
[12:09] <nanothief> simple question: how do you make a script/launcher that runs a root command. eg sudo nautilus. I want the script/launcher to ask for the password (i don't want the password in the script/launcher)
[12:09] <Advanced> sorry yell0w i was reading up some more
[12:09] <Advanced> its an Asus K8V X SE
[12:09] <MrSiebel> Ok. I got rt61 in blue and red...
[12:09] <sethk> karamboola, but if you install it as  IPD you should be able to just ignore the windows side
[12:09] <elpargo> sethk, ok just checking, then there is probably something wrong with hte repo, thanks
[12:09] <macd> karamboola, in windows you would enable a startup script, usually deployed from SMS, or a login script from the PDC
[12:09] <karamboola> macd, so it would be possible to serve the LAN's network printers via a linux server to the win AD clients?
[12:09] <Flannel> macd: no, it would only need to be able to read.  Very odd.  Um, especially because mine gives a 403 error ;)
[12:10] <Kresjah> Ahoy! I could use some help here with getting direct rendering working on my mobility m1 (mach64). I have been trying for weeks now, and I have just reinstalled Edgy. Xorg.0.log reports [drm]  failed to load kernel module "mach64". Anyone have time to take a look at the issue with me?
[12:10] <macd> karamboola, yes, youll need to read up on LDAP and AD integration, so that your linux server can auth your AD users.
[12:10] <MrSiebel> Rambo: Do ?I have to replace Makefile.6
[12:10] <MrSiebel> ?
[12:11] <tweek> i have been getting screen artifcts and parts of the screen not updated with things left behind with my nvidia video card
[12:11] <rambo3> MrSiebel, no you copy it so it can make right version of driver
[12:11] <macd> karamboola, but this can be acocmplished with a login script in the users login profiles set on the AD container for them, I usually just move everyone into thier own group OU for a while till they all login and get the new printers
[12:11] <karamboola> macd, sounds promising :)
[12:11] <macd> its the beauty of AD ;)
[12:12] <macd> Flannel, odd indeed.
[12:12] <karamboola> macd, yeah that would make it, but again i must say the AD network i must work with is a big mess sometimes
[12:12] <macd> Flannel, I wish apache would have just stuck with the good ole NON modular configs.
[12:12] <MrSiebel> Rambo: mrsiebel@mrsiebel-laptop:~$ cp -f Makefile.6 Makefile
[12:12] <MrSiebel> cp: cannot stat `Makefile.6': No such file or directory

[12:13] <Gerry_W> #ubuntu-effects
[12:13] <MrSiebel> ???
[12:14] <rambo3> MrSiebel, in what directory are you?
[12:14] <MrSiebel> I assume its home dir
[12:14] <Advanced> so...its a bug
[12:15] <Flannel> macd: nothing wrong with modular configs.  And, it appears that chmodding my homedir o+rx fixes it.
[12:15] <MrSiebel> Yeah home
[12:15] <yell0w> Advanced, it says it's fixed
[12:15] <Advanced> it says "Fix Released"
[12:15] <Advanced> where is it :d
[12:15] <Flannel> macd: you're serving a normal static page, right?
[12:15] <yell0w> Advanced, i  think it's fixed with new versions of ubuntu
[12:15] <Advanced> where's the fix ;-; *bounces*
[12:15] <Advanced> ....ah
[12:15] <macd> Flannel, I should kick myself, the index page in the userdit I was testing is php, and I dont have php configured.
[12:15] <Advanced> that bites
[12:15] <Advanced> x.x
[12:15] <rambo3> MrSiebel, just use cd to go to right directory . cd RT_61 "press tab button here then enter button"
[12:15] <yell0w> Advanced, how far/much did you installed ?
[12:16] <Flannel> macd: haha.  thatll do it.  THat's why you were getting a 500 error too.
[12:16] <Advanced> i've spent the last 2 evenings on it
[12:16] <Advanced> lol
[12:16] <yell0w> Advanced, i'm sorry
[12:16] <macd> Flannel, well I spoke to soon, it also happens with straight html
[12:16] <Advanced> saying that, i havent got very far
[12:16] <Kresjah> No one with knowledge of how to possibly get direct rendering going on mach64s?
[12:16] <yell0w> Advanced, why not get a CD and install like normal
[12:16] <Advanced> its cool :) ill wait till i get a new burner tomorrow and do it properly
[12:16] <yell0w> yes
[12:16] <Advanced> my cd burner died
[12:16] <Advanced> :(
[12:16] <racter> hi - can i install in text mode from a normal 6.10 disc?
[12:16] <Advanced> waiting for a new one, but me being me i thought why not have a go
[12:17] <Advanced> regardless of the outcome, i have learnt alot :)
[12:17] <yell0w> or you can go to shippit.ubuntu.com and order a cd if you can't burn it
[12:17] <racter> it's all i have and the machine i'm installing onto is a bit too slow for the gnomeinstaller
[12:17] <Flannel> macd: what are your perms?  on ~, and public_html
[12:17] <Advanced> i'll have a cd burner tomorrow :)
[12:17] <yell0w> Advanced, or, you can try to get the latest kernel and build it
[12:17] <yell0w> lol
[12:17] <Advanced> ...that sounds rather above me :S
[12:17] <yell0w> Advanced,  but then you might need to get on the net to get the buil-essential package
[12:17] <yell0w> lol
[12:18] <macd> drwxr-xr-x on both.
[12:18] <Advanced> haha x.x
[12:18] <Advanced> ill just leave it for now :)
[12:18] <Flannel> macd: odd.  That works for me.  Just go for a directory index
[12:18] <yell0w> Advanced, g'luck tomorrow
[12:18] <Advanced> thanks dude, your a legend!
[12:18] <Advanced> much appreciated and i will be back :)
[12:18] <macd> Flannel, yeah, I might also RTFM ;)
[12:19] <yell0w> Advanced, np
[12:19] <justFox> why ubuntu instead of debian?
[12:19] <Flannel> macd: well, this should work, I can't image why it isn't.  TFM wouldnt give much insight, I dont think.  What error you getting now?
[12:19] <yell0w> justFox, coz it's shinier ?
[12:19] <yell0w> :P

[12:19] <racter> is there a way i can boot the livecd/installer into text mode and install there?
[12:20] <macd> still a 500 regardless of what I give it ~user/path/
[12:20] <Flannel> racter: no.  You'll need the alternate CD
[12:20] <racter> flannel: thx
[12:20] <Flannel> macd: 500?  that doesn't make sense.  just /~user/  what does that give you?
[12:20] <macd> well I do have one more idea, my .htaccess may be conflicting
[12:21] <rellik> which quicken-esque program is best for linux?  MoneyDance looks really nice... but don't wanna pay for it if there is a better one out there
[12:21] <macd> that did it!
[12:21] <Flannel> macd: If theyre 500 errors, you should also check your apache log.
[12:21] <macd> IndexIgnore in .htaccess was tossing errors.
[12:21] <macd> now what does apache2 use now ;)
[12:21] <Popoi> Is there a Ubuntu Gamers IRC?
[12:22] <[H] 3b0R> hello, everytime i open nautilus, it opens up three times, whats wrong?
[12:22] <Flannel> macd: noindex you mean?
[12:22] <macd> IndexIgnore *.pdf *.sql *.tar *.gz   is what I use to keep nosey eyes away./
[12:23] <MrSiebel> Rambo: Nothing seems to work?
[12:23] <Flannel> macd: but, indexignore still is there.
[12:24] <macd> I renamed .htaccess
[12:24] <Flannel> macd: as to why it'd be giving you 500 errors, I don't know.  You might ask in #apache
[12:24] <macd> yeah, thats my next stop
[12:24] <Advanced> hmm
[12:24] <macd> Flannel, thanks for the help, sometimes it helps to have another brainstorm

[12:46] <kitche> fallen_: that wasn't wine that was probably cedega
[12:46] <fallen_> ahh
[12:46] <fallen_> winex i think it was

[12:46] <LjL> that's cedega, yes
[12:46] <fallen_> well
[12:46] <LjL> royel: cp -a
[12:47] <Pottie> !wine | i dont see any folders for a c driver or anything or programs what gives
[12:47] <ubotu> i dont see any folders for a c driver or anything or programs what gives: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:47] <royel> LjL: ty, having a brainfart :)

[12:47] <kitche> Pottie: do you have a .wine folder
[12:47] <fallen_> i am reading how someone else installed it directly to the root, but i used the c:\ option but i can't find the folder in my root
[12:47] <LjL> !anyone | maynoth42
[12:47] <ubotu> maynoth42: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:47] <fallen_> not even a .wine
[12:47] <plex0r> is there a problem with amdx2 64bit systems and ubuntu install?
[12:47] <LjL> !automatix | pushreset_
[12:47] <ubotu> pushreset_: 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
[12:48] <fallen_> plexor: are you using the 64bit installer?
[12:48] <likwidtek> .
[12:48] <likwidWork> .
[12:48] <LjL> fallen_: hm? .wine should be in your home dir, not in root - and of course it's a dotfile, so it's normally hidden
[12:48] <pushreset_> there is no solution ?
[12:48] <greg> A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
[12:48] <greg> Failure
[12:48] <greg> Execution aborted.
[12:48] <fallen_> how do i make it not hidden
[12:48] <LjL> pushreset_: nothing has no solution. i don't have a suggestion though
[12:48] <Shaffox> how can you install xserver-xorg ?
[12:48] <fallen_> i tried directly with
[12:48] <fallen_> \home\fallen\.wine
[12:49] <[M] Darkorical> any other suggestions for changeing from dapper to edgy?

[12:49] <fallen_> omg it opened this time
[12:49] <fallen_> nevermind thx
[12:49] <LjL> fallen_: /home/fallen/.wine you mean? that should work. try "ls /home/fallen/.wine"
[12:49] <fallen_> i had the \ wrong
[12:49] <sethk> plex0r, don't be so complementary now

[12:50] <Soul^Reaver> did u apt-get update wine?
[12:50] <TigerDuck> plex0r: you asked 10 times and were always advised to use the 32bit version
[12:50] <fallen_> i did wget like winehq said to
[12:50] <maynoth42> 64bit version blows
[12:50] <maynoth42> i tried it
[12:50] <maynoth42> not stable
[12:51] <maynoth42> 32bit is AWESOME
[12:51] <Soul^Reaver> hhmmm
[12:51] <plex0r> then why do they release shit
[12:51] <maynoth42> 64bit just isn't ready... maybe in 3-4 years
[12:51] <fallen_> i added the repository but i failed half way into downloading
[12:51] <Soul^Reaver> I need to know where the dpkg archive list is at
[12:51] <maynoth42> its not ubuntu...
[12:51] <fallen_> one sec

[12:51] <maynoth42> soul
[12:51] <Soul^Reaver> then apt-get install
[12:52] <fallen_> not to spam but this is the instructions on winehq
[12:52] <maynoth42> my nero installed fine
[12:52] <fallen_> Adding the WineHQ APT Repository:
[12:52] <fallen_> First, open a terminal window. Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following:
[12:52] <fallen_> wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[12:52] <fallen_> Next, add the repository to your system's list of APT sources:
[12:52] <fallen_> For Ubuntu Edgy (6.10):
[12:52] <fallen_> sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/edgy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[12:52] <Soul^Reaver> the apt-get dpkg archive list
[12:52] <pushreset_> and all the conf file are removed also ?
[12:52] <LjL> !paste > fallen_    (fallen_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:52] <Soul^Reaver> where it stores the list of dpkg files
[12:52] <maynoth42> try downloading the deb off nero.com
[12:52] <fallen_> thats all they show
[12:52] <maynoth42> that worked for me
[12:52] <maynoth42> but I had to set up my own icon
[12:52] <Soul^Reaver> did
[12:52] <maynoth42> still wont install
[12:52] <maynoth42> ?

[12:56] <Pottie> i get this "pottie@pottie:~/.wine$ "
[12:56] <kitche> Pottie: yes you have to ls and you should see Program Files
[12:57] <Michael_Desrosie> is anyone here knowledgeable about ubuntu support for certain wireless cards?
[12:57] <abyss> so the only problem is that after start a xgl-session the desktop turn into a fullscreen white picture
[12:57] <Soul^Reaver> how kazuka keep gettin on?
[12:57] <kupesoft> desres: What's your cards chipset?
[12:57] <desres> im not entirely sure what it is
[12:57] <desres> kupesoft; i think its a broadcom
[12:57] <Pottie> no folder popdup
[12:58] <Soul^Reaver> Need help re-installing nero & GTK1.2lib
[12:58] <desres> I am still running XP right now, but if I could be sure that my card would work with it, I would switch.
[12:58] <kupesoft> desres: Does it work with the live CD?
[12:58] <kitche> Pottie: you should see something called Program Files when you ls
[12:58] <Pottie> yes i did
[12:58] <desres> kupesoft; it did not work immediately, and I tried to configure it to work, and it didnt do it.
[12:58] <RocketMan> yeah, that didn't work...
[12:59] <stinger_au> Morning
[12:59] <kitche> Pottie: ok now cd Program\ Files\ventrilo
[12:59] <Salwan> Hi everyone
[12:59] <desres> I could try the live CD again, but it didnt work out before, so i would expect the same result.
[12:59] <tito_> I'm having some trouble with a Ralink rt2561 card in edgy
[12:59] <kupesoft> desres: You mean it was detected by Ubuntu?
[12:59] <desres> kupesoft, it was not detected.
[12:59] <desres> Not that I know it.
[12:59] <Soul^Reaver> Fawk need HELP I tried installing k3b & says nero needs installed cant find package still
[12:59] <Soul^Reaver> How do I modify my package list???
[12:59] <tito_> IT works until a reboot, then I have to compile the driver again
[12:59] <RocketMan> not matter waht i did with the setup menu, this thing refuses to boot in anything but windows,
[12:59] <kupesoft> desres: Alright, is there any way to find the make/model of the card?
[01:00] <kitche> Pottie: you should now be able to do wine ventrilo.exe
[01:00] <RocketMan> any more advice?
[01:00] <Pottie> no such direcrory
[01:00] <Pottie> = (
[01:00] <desres> kupesoft, its internal, so i can't look at it. I know its a broadcom, and I can try looking for more about it, but i could'nt find it before
[01:00] <kupesoft> desres: Well, we could find out if you could boot Ubuntu )=
[01:00] <elpargo> abyss, #beryl will be better for that and there is a thread in the beryl forums with the issue and answer
[01:00] <kupesoft> desres: "lspci" should tell you the cards chipset
[01:00] <stinger_au> Question: Is there a reason why in ubuntu when you run top the si value is so high ? - in gento its like less than 1% but thats on a dual core system the server which runs ubuntu is a AMD 1.6 but its si value is like 18% - from a console its about 4 -5%,
[01:00] <Soul^Reaver> How do I re-configure my package list?
[01:01] <Salwan> I'm new to ubuntu and to linux as a whole, I have an rpm that I want to install but the terminal is telling me that there is no "rpm" command how should I install it if it was possible?
[01:01] <desres> kupesoft, I can boot ubuntu, but I couldn' t talk to you then. And how would I use "lspci"
[01:01] <kitche> Pottie: ok you can go into Program \ Files
[01:01] <sadistico> can anyone tell me why i get this error message using ndswrapper? bcmwl5  invalid driver!
[01:01] <LjL> Salwan: why do you want to install an RPM? Ubuntu packages are in the .deb format, not in the RPM format
[01:01] <Soul^Reaver> alien
[01:01] <sadistico> im trying to get my wireless card to work
[01:01] <Soul^Reaver> use alien
[01:01] <LjL> Salwan: RPM is for other distributions, such as RedHat
[01:01] <RocketMan> hello??
[01:02] <Agrajag> Salwan: What program is it? Most likely you can install it through apt
[01:02] <Soul^Reaver> but if u use alien u can make into a deb
[01:02] <kupesoft> desres: You'd type it in the console and look for what you think is your wireless card,
[01:02] <Pottie> nope
[01:02] <Salwan> OK, that's new info for me
[01:02] <Agrajag> Soul^Reaver: yes, but if he is trying to install something that is available in apt, he should not use alien.
[01:02] <kupesoft> desres: Maybe your motherboard model / make will tell you something about the card,
[01:02] <LjL> !software > Salwan    (Salwan, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:02] <sadistico> can i get some help with my wireless installation using edgy eft?
[01:02] <sadistico> please?
[01:02] <LjL> !nickspam > DONT^ignore^ME    (DONT^ignore^ME, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:02] <DONT^ignore^ME> I need help with my apt
[01:02] <kupesoft> desres: Alternatively you could try ndiswrapper,
[01:02] <drx> hello, anyone know of a full MAPI client for Ubuntu?
[01:03] <DONT^ignore^ME> ljl stuff it not no spam
[01:03] <TigerDuck> DONT^ignore^ME: Try to change your nick first
[01:03] <RocketMan> can anyone tell me how to stop booting up in Windows?
[01:03] <Salwan> Thank you all, I have some information to digest ;)
[01:03] <desres> Kupesoft: I'm really new to ubuntu, so I am going to be really basic here. I don't get much about ubuntu, so where do i use the console? Essentially, I am going to write this down, because I am an idiot.
[01:03] <elpargo> RocketMan, format the disk? :p
[01:03] <ljl^piss^off> that better
[01:03] <mattycoze> woot 999 users
[01:04] <elpargo> RocketMan, now for real you mean you have a double boot and you want ubuntu to be default?
[01:04] <RocketMan> format the disk? to what?!
[01:04] <Taime1> how do you change icon themes?
[01:04] <barbarella> desres:take a look in the device manager for the broadcom you have got
[01:04] <royel> elpargo: I was trying to think of some sly comment myself :)
[01:04] <ljl^piss^off> 997 now :(
[01:04] <mattycoze> common 1000 baby
[01:04] <sadistico> is there anyone that can help with the broadcom wireless installation?
[01:04] <RocketMan> no,
[01:04] <Kaso> desres, Applications, Accessories, Terminal
[01:04] <elpargo> royel, :)
[01:04] <barbarella> desres:so you don't have to reboot
[01:04] <RocketMan> i mean I have yet to successfully but Ubuntu AT ALL.
[01:04] <elpargo> RocketMan, then what you mean
[01:04] <ljl^piss^off> I am asking for help ljl dont be abusive
[01:04] <ljl^piss^off> thats mean
[01:04] <desres> barbarella:sorry, do you know where the device manager is?
[01:04] <RocketMan> but=boot*
[01:04] <psweetma_> hi
[01:04] <mattycoze> anyone here from Brisbane Australia?
[01:05] <unska_> anyone know how can i get the images to my ubuntu from my 6630 nokia phone? =)
[01:05] <Cin> yerrr!!
[01:05] <Taime1> how do you change icon themes??
[01:05] <kupesoft> desres: I fail to see the connection between you being new to Linux/Ubuntu translating to you being an idiot.
[01:05] <Cin> sorry. got carried away like it was a gig
[01:05] <elpargo> RocketMan, the last step of the installation should make it switch to ubuntu by default so probably something went wrong there,
[01:05] <sadistico> can someone please help me?
[01:05] <elpargo> do you get a window with a countdown and then it boots?
[01:05] <desres> Kupesoft: trying humility doesn't really suit me then, I guess.
[01:05] <kupesoft> desres: Is there any way you can hard wire your computer to the internet while you run Ubuntu?
[01:05] <elpargo> sadistico, just ask
[01:05] <RocketMan> what installation?
[01:06] <sadistico> i did
[01:06] <kupesoft> desres: Self-deprecation and humility are far from the same ;/
[01:06] <ompaul> !ask
[01:06] <sadistico> i need help soooo bad with my broadcom wireless installation
[01:06] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:06] <tito__> Is it possible to downrade an installation to the original package versions?
[01:06] <Salwan> I have a quick question, the ubuntu I have is version 6.06 and I am updating it now through the Update Manager, there are some items that failed to download, is that normal? or will it risk the update process?
[01:06] <sadistico> ive been trying for 8 days now
[01:06] <ompaul> !broadcom
[01:06] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:06] <helloyo> i am looking to buy a nvidia graphics card, any graphics people available for a chat?
[01:06] <sadistico> ive read all the forums
[01:06] <mattycoze> hay sadistico is your laptop an acer?
[01:06] <sadistico> all of them
[01:06] <psweetma_> is there a way to ensure the logout door icon is always in the top left.  sometimes other icons appear there instead with the door somewhere to the right
[01:06] <sadistico> yeah
[01:06] <desres> Kupesoft, I could probably put the cord directly into my computer. But that would turn off the wireless in my house, and defeat the purpose
[01:06] <unska_> anyone know how can i get the images to my ubuntu from my 6630 nokia phone? =)
[01:06] <ompaul> sadistico, that is not a forum
[01:06] <elpargo> RocketMan, ok you need to be more specific, you wan to try out the liveCD?
[01:06] <sadistico> i know
[01:07] <sadistico> but it lists a website
[01:07] <megafauna> Hi, can I talk to someone about installing the new Amarok?
[01:07] <mattycoze> i was able to get mine to work preety good with the forums
[01:07] <tito__> unska: USB cable?
[01:07] <unska_> yeah, usb data cable
[01:07] <Kevin_007> forum ? what kind of ?
[01:07] <elpargo> lol sadistico wasted his time reading all the forums
[01:07] <RocketMan> look, i downloade 6.10, saved it to a cd.
[01:07] <desres> kupesoft: I've always treated depracation and humility as one and the same
[01:07] <TigerDuck> Well, I'll hit the rack .... gn8 folks
[01:07] <unska_> but i think i need some software too (like in windows)
[01:07] <unska_> in windows i had to use pc suite
[01:07] <elpargo> RocketMan, did you BURN it to the disk or just put the file?
[01:07] <tito__> unska_: Isn't it automatically detected?
[01:07] <kupesoft> desres: Well, you'd have an Ubuntu system connected to the Internet,
[01:07] <sadistico> i get to the final step but get the error bcmwl5  invalid driver!
[01:07] <Kevin_007> is there anyone who wants to be a member , moreover a moderator , in a forum ?
[01:07] <kupesoft> desres: It'd be far easy to troubleshoot,
[01:07] <sadistico> and i know its the right driver
[01:07] <unska_> tito__, atleast not in ms
[01:07] <sadistico> i copied it from the disk
[01:07] <kupesoft> s/easy/easier
[01:07] <mattycoze> hang on i'll find the thing i downloaded to get the broadcomm wireless card to work
[01:07] <unska_> i can try
[01:07] <tito__> unska_: It will probably be picked up in Ubuntu as a USB drive
[01:07] <Kevin_007> is there anyone who wants to be a member , moreover a moderator , in a forum ?

[01:08] <megafauna> Hi, I'm following the Amarok install instructions here: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Installation_HowTo      and when I get to the 2nd last line, it tells me "Malformed line 33 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
[01:08] <megafauna> ". Can someone help?
[01:08] <sadistico> yes sir
[01:08] <unska_> tito__, where can i view it?
[01:08] <elpargo> RocketMan, are you sure the CD boots? did you set your machine to boot from CD?
[01:09] <mattycoze> sadistico what drivers did you install?
[01:09] <kazuka> hey guys is there ubuntu installer for ps3 yet?
[01:09] <RocketMan> i thought so,
[01:09] <kupesoft> desres: Feel free to pm when you get back
[01:09] <sadistico> ive followed this link to the t
[01:09] <sadistico> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[01:09] <tito__> unska_: If it is plugged in you should get a USB disc listed on the desktop, if not you might need to google around for some drivers
[01:09] <RocketMan> on the setup menu, i set the CD drive as the boot source in the BIOS,
[01:09] <Sulo_Seppa> ubuntu on ps3? hah

[01:10] <elpargo> RocketMan, is it before the hard disk?
[01:10] <winter-1> i just installed kiba-dock and now my gnome is all messed up can i fix it?
[01:10] <greg> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[01:10] <greg> kernel?
[01:10] <Cin> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[01:10] <Cin> what!?
[01:10] <sadistico> anyone have any ideas as to what is going on with my installation?
[01:10] <winter-1> my gnome is trashed
[01:10] <RocketMan> yes, hard disk is on the bottom of the list, cd is first, even before floppy(this thing doesn't even have a floppy, don't know why that's there.)
[01:10] <elpargo> greg, /usr/scr/linux
[01:11] <kazuka> /usr/include ?
[01:11] <elpargo> RocketMan, because the bios needs to have all that hardcoded
[01:11] <mattycoze> sadistico with my acer laptop when i got the driver to work the light turned on automatically and started looking for networks - does yours do that?
[01:11] <winter-1> helps me someone :(
[01:11] <elpargo> kazuka, he said kernel
[01:11] <sadistico> god no lol
[01:11] <RocketMan> ok, but how do i load ubuntu,
[01:11] <RocketMan> ?
[01:11] <mattycoze> oh okay, hmm,
[01:11] <helloyo> i use KDE, will upgrading from 512MB ram to 1024MB make much difference?
[01:12] <megafauna> hi, how do I reinstall my repositories?
[01:12] <sadistico> when i type sudo ndiswrapper -l it says
[01:12] <sadistico> bcmwl5  invalid driver!
[01:12] <sadistico> file    invalid driver!
[01:12] <tehseen> anyone know why beryls not workign after updating to the latest stuff
[01:12] <rpc> is it possible to control traffic for a bridged virtual device directly on br0? or do i need to enable a firewall on each bridged host?
[01:12] <elpargo> RocketMan, if your certain it's booting from the drive and it's not booting then maybe the disk is wrong,
[01:12] <mattycoze> did you get bcmwl5 from the ubuntu website?
[01:12] <barbarella> megafauna:yes 512 :-)
[01:12] <sadistico> no from my installation disk
[01:12] <elpargo> RocketMan, does it says anything before booting? any error or something?
[01:12] <RocketMan> i doubt that...
[01:12] <mattycoze> oh, well sounds like it's corrupt maybe?
[01:12] <tito__> Can someone give me a hand, My wireless card seems to be malfunctioning. It is an ralink rt61
[01:12] <Cin> I get 400fps on glxgears. which is just completely far less than my graphics should be achieving
[01:12] <megafauna> ?
[01:13] <RocketMan> not unless i interfere with the startup
[01:13] <barbarella> helloyo:yes 512 :-)
[01:13] <corevette> what software comes in automatix?
[01:13] <megafauna> haha
[01:13] <sadistico> i copied it four times :P
[01:13] <megafauna> iget it
[01:13] <megafauna> now...
[01:13] <megafauna> no, wait, i don't
[01:13] <cafuego_> glxgears is not a benchmarking tool.
[01:13] <Cin> I get 400fps on glxgears. which is just completely far less than my graphics should be achieving. I'm using the i810 driver in Xorg and my card is i915
[01:13] <Cin> cafuego, oh really?
[01:13] <CowLens> when my computer started it says: "failed to load HAL"?
[01:14] <CowLens> what does HAL mean?
[01:14] <asfdasfsd> DCC SCHAT HAIHAIHAIHAIHAIHAIHAIHAIHAI
[01:14] <elpargo> RocketMan, interfere? what happens then?
[01:14] <dyrne> anyone here want to test apt-get ruby-gnome2 in dapper for me? im getting errors
[01:14] <megafauna> whatt does 512 mean? and how do i reinstall my repostirores?
[01:14] <ompaul> Cin, your eyes can see about 25 so I would not worry about it too much :)
[01:14] <mattycoze> sadistico, everyone gets different problems with their acer laptop wireless cards for some reason
[01:14] <Cin> ompaul, yes, very helpful
[01:14] <Cin> hmm
[01:14] <ComputerCheck> dcc send sixcharacters
[01:14] <ComputerCheck> Lawl :S
[01:14] <megafauna> Synaptic tells me that they are in bad shape and I can't install new stuff
[01:14] <nalioth> ComputerCheck: please don't do that
[01:14] <mattycoze> it's a pitty they don't make a native linux driver or something like that
[01:15] <cafuego_> That was an interesting exploit
[01:15] <ompaul> cafuego_, :)
[01:15] <sadistico> that stinks now i have to switch back to windows, god I really dont want to do that lol
[01:15] <sadistico> no choice though
[01:15] <sadistico> need wireless
[01:15] <dyrne> i thinks ill just move my server to feisty i get less trouble in it in herd3 than dapper..
[01:15] <Cin> ompaul, although wrong. I see your point and it is irrelevant
[01:15] <rojo^> sadistico: doesn't ndiswrapper work for you?
[01:15] <barbarella> megafauna:sorry, it was for helloyo
[01:15] <sadistico> yeah that works fine
[01:15] <megafauna> ah
[01:16] <RocketMan> still there?
[01:16] <bard> sadistico, get feisty with kernel 2.6.20-6 it has nativ drivers
[01:16] <igor47> i'm trying to install ncurses-dev but there is some sort of dependency issue.  does anyone know how i can make this install?
[01:16] <elpargo> megafauna, check out /etc/atp/sources.list
[01:16] <mattycoze> hay sadistico try talking to the dudes at #ndiswrapper
[01:16] <megafauna> synaptic tells me to go to the repositories dialog to reinsall
[01:16] <megafauna> THANS!
[01:16] <mattycoze> they might be able to help you :)
[01:16] <greg> neither are right
[01:16] <cafuego_> ljl has gone berserk!

[01:16] <rpc> hm that's a killing spree, LjL :)
[01:17] <cafuego_> sadistico: ndiswrapper is telling you the drivers you have are not correct for your card.
[01:17] <desres_> kupesoft: I got the lan towork corded to the computer. I am going to boot with the livedisk. Be right back
[01:17] <sadistico> yeah
[01:17] <cafuego_> sadistico: Does `lspci' tell you it's a bcm43xx card?
[01:17] <unska_> how can i see in which serial device my mouse is connected?

[01:18] <CowLens> what does HAL means?
[01:18] <unska_> well i would like to know what is /ttyUSB0
[01:18] <dyrne> CowLens: hardware abstraction layer i think
[01:18] <megafauna> elpargo: Where is etc?.... The Desktop search can't find it.
[01:18] <cafuego_> sadistico: ok, get rid of that ndiswrapper nonsense and sue the normal driver with its firmware.
[01:19] <rojo^> unska_: that's probably the usb root hub itself

[01:19] <unska_> ij
[01:19] <unska_> ok

[01:19] <kupesoft> desres_: okay
[01:19] <sadistico> cafuego_, what does sue mean?
[01:19] <elpargo> megafauna, /etc is in / :)
[01:20] <elpargo> megafauna, and you need to run gksu to check that file.
[01:20] <megafauna> elpargo: got it?

[01:24] <megafauna> elpargo OPening with Software Source
[01:24] <megafauna> elpargo The screen flashes like it is opening a program and then nothing happens.
[01:24] <sadistico> the way to remove the driver would be sudo ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5 correct?
[01:24] <megafauna> is the list crashing Software Sources?
[01:25] <elpargo> megafauna, huh? use gedit it's a text file

[01:34] <rcmiv> are Cardbus and CardbusII the same?
[01:34] <elpargo> megafauna, huh? fix the line and hit save
[01:34] <Cin> is there an i915 driver separate from i815?

[01:36] <mrpoundsign> anyone have a recommendation on what fonts to use to make ubuntu look better?
[01:36] <elpargo> Cin, ehh it's not a distro thing the driver is from xorg, are you talking about intel video card??
[01:36] <elpargo> mrpoundsign, define better
[01:37] <Cin> elpargo, argh. it's annoying because I've seen forum posts of people talking about how their i915 card works at the proper speeds
[01:37] <quaal> soundray, HELLO!
[01:37] <quaal> oh
[01:37] <mrpoundsign> elpargo: it's subjective, I know, but let's say I want Firefox to look like Firefox on Windows.
[01:37] <quaal> this channel moves so fast
[01:37] <elpargo> Cin, not sure how can I help
[01:37] <aridese> how do i extract files out of a bin file (it's a windows CD image)?
[01:37] <soundray> quaal: are you going through Finder - Go - Connect to Server?
[01:38] <quaal> soundray, yes i am
[01:38] <rcmiv> Can anyone recommend a wireless card to use in an old laptop with ubuntu?
[01:38] <Cin> bleh
[01:38] <elpargo> mrpoundsign, why will you want those ugly fonts?
[01:38] <Salwan> I need a good mp3 player for ubuntu, any ideas?
[01:38] <quaal> rcmiv, one that is compatible with ubuntu ?
[01:38] <scribz> dont get a netgear wg511v2 - they suck ass
[01:38] <soundray> quaal: you're not paying attention to the help you've requested. Does that make sense?
[01:38] <mrpoundsign> elpargo: the default fonts are really blocky.  I have adjusted them to where they're better, but not great.
[01:38] <quaal> Salwan, my ipod works
[01:38] <rcmiv> quaal, yes
[01:38] <elpargo> Salwan, way too many it depends on how many features you want
[01:38] <bhtooefr> hello
[01:39] <quaal> soundray, quaal: are you going through Finder - Go - Connect to Server? <-- yes, i am doing it this way.
[01:39] <elpargo> mrpoundsign, if you reaaally want them there is a truetype fonts package
[01:39] <Frogzoo> mrpoundsign: on lcds, enable subpixel antialiasing
[01:39] <bhtooefr> I've got a problem with HAL failing to initialize

[01:39] <Salwan> elpargo, I need just one what is the one you are using?
[01:39] <mrpoundsign> Frogzoo: did that, looks better, but still not great.  :)
[01:39] <bhtooefr> it appeared when I installed the ATI binary drivers
[01:39] <bhtooefr> hardware is a ThinkPad R51e, graphics is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M

[01:40] <quaal> i use "WORKGROUP" and the login name and password i used from the windows machine
[01:40] <elpargo> Salwan, it depends :) MPD, amarok, banshee, listen, etc,etc,etc.
[01:40] <rcmiv> dyrne, thanks
[01:40] <bhtooefr> I had attempted reinstalling HAL, as I had read somewhere else
[01:40] <elpargo> Salwan, you want a winamp clone? go for xmms
[01:40] <bhtooefr> and that solved the problem then
[01:40] <bhtooefr> but the sound quit working
[01:41] <bhtooefr> I rebooted, and it reappeared
[01:41] <bhtooefr> both sound and the HAL error
[01:41] <quaal> doh
[01:41] <dyrne> rcmiv: out of those i normally prefer cisco or orinoco
[01:41] <quaal> soundray, i just tried another password
[01:41] <quaal> i was using the wrong one
[01:41] <soundray> quaal: it works now.
[01:41] <quaal> soundray, thanks anyways
[01:41] <elpargo> Salwan, you just want to randomly listen to your collection go with MPD, you want a full manage everything app go with amarok, you want ipod et all go with banshee
[01:41] <quaal> not anyways
[01:41] <quaal> just thanks
[01:41] <elpargo> as I said it depends
[01:41] <soundray> quaal: try and be a bit more edgy or even feisty next time.
[01:42] <Salwan> elpargo: thanks for the help
[01:42] <quaal> soundray, my apologies.. im doing multiple things and didnt see your help attempts, they had scrolled up
[01:42] <quaal> soundray, i really appreciate your help
[01:42] <Beverage> hey folks i am wodnering how to change the command of a program?
[01:43] <Boxxertrumps> hello
[01:43] <quaal> Beverage, elaborate.
[01:43] <Boxxertrumps> can someone point me to a channel where they discuss the windows installer for ubuntu?
[01:43] <rp3> someone was looking for wifi cards, check this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[01:43] <Beverage> i need to change the command of all the links for frostwire because im using beryl, im need to change it to frostwire_fix
[01:43] <quaal> Boxxertrumps, what the hell are you talking about
[01:44] <soundray> quaal: in that case, I suggest you stop doing multiple things. After all, you're asking everyone in the channel to spend time on your problem.
[01:44] <dyrne> Boxxertrumps: ?
[01:44] <headphase> how can I reinstall ubuntu?
[01:44] <soundray> quaal: and drop the &%$&*! swearwords
[01:44] <elpargo> Salwan, np
[01:44] <quaal> soundray, again, i am sorry.
[01:44] <soundray> Boxxertrumps: there is no special channel for that installer.
[01:44] <Boxxertrumps> dyrne: theres a prototype for installing ubuntu with a windows installer
[01:44] <quaal> Boxxertrumps, ubuntu replaces windows. it does not have a windows installer (that i know of)
[01:45] <elpargo> Beverage, what do you mean by links?
[01:45] <Beverage> when i click a icon it executes a command, i want to change that command of a program i have installed.
[01:45] <Toma-> quaal: it does now
[01:45] <barbarella> Beverage:man ln
[01:45] <megafauna> elpargo: I am lost. I opened Terminal loged in sudo, navigated to the apt directory and can't see sources and don't know what to do. Bash is this upcoming weekend's challenge (last weekend's was to install ubuntu)
[01:45] <soundray> quaal: can you stop being so annoying, swearing at people for mentioning things you haven't happened to have heard of?
[01:46] <Beverage> man ln?
[01:46] <megafauna> elpargo: if it isn't a huge task, can you tell me what I should do?
[01:46] <Boxxertrumps> yes... there a prototype here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install%2eexe
[01:47] <Salwan> from here: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download ,which distro should I choose? I'm on Ubuntu 6.06
[01:48] <paitart> hello. could anyone please help me install JRE on my Firefox? I'm using Dapper.
[01:48] <dyrne> Boxxertrumps: though it sounded pretty useless but reading through that it sounds pretty cool
[01:48] <Flannel> Salwan: Kubuntu, obviously.
[01:48] <Flannel> !java | paitart
[01:48] <ubotu> paitart: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[01:49] <Flannel> Salwan: kubuntu is Ubuntu
[01:49] <HymnToLife> Salwan, http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.5.php
[01:49] <Beverage> So how do i change the command a program executes when it starts?
[01:49] <paitart> !Multiverse
[01:49] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[01:49] <JohnBolton> kubuntu sounds mildly obscene
[01:49] <codi> Anyone familiar with beryl and why my window decorations disapear. I think it has something to do with my desktop colors being at 32bit and beryl wanting them at 24bit, but i'm not sure how to change it
[01:49] <Flannel> codi: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[01:49] <elpargo> megafauna, typing "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal should give you all you need
[01:49] <dyrne> Beverage: by program do you mean the launcher or shorcut in gnome?
[01:50] <HymnToLife> JohnBolton sounds mildly like a troll
[01:50] <codi> thank
[01:50] <megafauna> elpargo: Thanks!
[01:50] <elpargo> megafauna, gedit is the commandline name of gnome text editor.
[01:50] <Beverage> dyrne, shortcut in gnome i guess, i have a file in /usr/bin and its called frostwire_fix
[01:51] <elpargo> Beverage, you mean from nautilus when clicking a file? or the menu?
[01:52] <dyrne> Beverage: well you could do a gnome launcher by right clicking on the desktop but i normall just make a symbolic link like: ln -s /usr/bin/application /home/username/Desktop/whatevername
[01:52] <dyrne> Beverage: er nautilus i mean
[01:53] <elpargo> dyrne, I think userLevel-- should be applied here, specially with the ln reference :)
[01:53] <dyrne> nonsense!
[01:54] <dyrne> :)
[01:54] <Shadowlander> Hey guys, I need a bit of help setting up a really robust VNC setup.
[01:54] <Boxxertrumps> so yeah, about that EXE channel?
[01:54] <Shadowlander> I'm trying to set it up such that multiple users can log into the same box, and not have to select a display.
[01:55] <Shadowlander> Any pointers?
[01:55] <wheels3572> Anyone tell me how to get to my sound via CLI?
[01:55] <Beverage> dyrne: no uhm, there is way that i can change the main icon to execute a certain command instead of its regular
[01:56] <preaction> wheels3572: you probably want to use the alsa command-line utilities, alsa-play or something
[01:56] <Beverage> dyrne: i know it involved a folder with a bunch of icons then id right/click properties
[01:56] <GaiaX11> wheels3572: mplayer
[01:56] <megafauna> elpargo: When I type that gksu... into sudo it says "Warning cannot open display".
[01:57] <wheels3572> preaction, ty that was it.  I have no sound and last time it was muted and that alsa command sounds familiar ty
[01:57] <dyrne> Beverage: i dont know id normally just open it in a text editor and add it.  im not terribly familiar with gnomw
[01:57] <dyrne> gnome :)
[01:57] <desres> Hello, is there anyone who can help me see if I can get my wireless card working with the LiveCD of ubuntu or see if its possible at all?
[01:57] <dyrne> desres: what model?
[01:57] <elpargo> megafauna, ohhh sorry I though you where running the terminal emulator :) go Applications -> accesories -> terminal
[01:58] <megafauna> elpargo: yes, that is what i did
[01:58] <donTaquero> I wish to change perl for activeperl into my linbox but I need help to do it.
[01:58] <riotkittie> oh man. split keyboards are weird.
[01:58] <desres> dyrne: I can't figure out what model of card it is, because its internal.
[01:58] <megafauna> elpargo: then I pasted in the text editor line to open it and I got the warning.
[01:58] <donTaquero> Well, Exist any script to switch between perl and activeperl?
[01:58] <desres> dryne: i think its a broadcom, but I have nothing about it beyond that.
[01:58] <wheels3572> preaction, nope that dindt' work lol.
[01:58] <tim167> how do i make a playable dvd from an avi file ?
[01:58] <dyrne> desres: the commands "lspci -v" and sudo lshw should be a good start
[01:58] <Flannel> donTaquero: er... why do you want activePerl?  I didnt even know they mad eactivePerl for !win
[01:59] <desres> dyrne: can you explain to me how to use those commands?
[01:59] <megafauna> elpargo: I can open gtk thru apps - accs - emacs-snapshot-gtk
[01:59] <dyrne> desres: this is a laptop?
[01:59] <megafauna> elpargo: but I can't save the file
[01:59] <desres> dyrne: yes it is.
[02:00] <donTaquero> Flannel: Because I have a problem with CPAN modules configuration. I prefer use ppm that 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'...
[02:00] <dyrne> desres: you might be as well off going to the manufacturers website and finding the card model then searching ubuntuforums.org for it.  the forums are helpful for this stuff because they tend to have step by step fixes specific to the hardware
[02:01] <elpargo> megafauna, yes that is a permission thing, not sure why you have emacs...
[02:01] <Salwan> This is what I was afraid of, I am doing an update to ubuntu through the Update Manager and some items failed to be downloaded now the download is over and I got this: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/417/screenshotqd2.png what should I do?
[02:01] <megafauna> How do I login as a superuser (I assume)  then
[02:01] <elpargo> megafauna, how about sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:01] <megafauna> elpargo: How do I login as a superuser (I assume)  then
[02:01] <LjL> !sudo > megafauna    (megafauna, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:01] <megafauna> elpargo trying ow
[02:01] <desres> dyrne: its a compaq v2555, and I can't find it on the website because they no longer support it. Its tolerable now because it has over a gig of ram, butI still can't find the card on the web.
[02:01] <cpk1> desres: sudo lshw should output all of your hardware, and you should be able to sport your broadcom device in there
[02:02] <SurfnKid> whats a good desktop manager?
[02:02] <SurfnKid> where can i get information on DM?
[02:02] <megafauna> elpargo: it opened!
[02:02] <cpk1> desres: just look for the "network" section probably
[02:02] <elpargo> megafauna, ok now make the changes and save
[02:02] <desres> cpk: i am still very basic at ubuntu/linux: how do i use the use the sudo and stuff?
[02:02] <ElbridgeGerry> Hey, I just put in an SD card...how do I get it to show up?
[02:02] <elpargo> ^ = ctrl
[02:02] <Shadowlander> don: CPAN can be a pain...
[02:03] <Shadowlander> donTaquero: It seems like it might just be as simple as running the debian package from the www.activestate.com site
[02:03] <ElbridgeGerry> !sd
[02:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:03] <ElbridgeGerry> !flash media
[02:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flash media - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:03] <LjL> !msg the bot
[02:03] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[02:03] <Shadowlander> donTaquero: Have you already tried something like that
[02:03] <ElbridgeGerry> Ah.
[02:04] <fraroco> hello everybody
[02:04] <fraroco> I have some trobles with my cards reader ... I ahve laptop dv1352 hp...
[02:04] <dyrne> desres: most likely youll end up using ndiswrapper see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785  its really not too hard to setup
[02:04] <dyrne> desres: good luck
[02:05] <Shadowlander> Hm.  I guess no luck for my problem.  I don't really need someone to walk me through it.  Just a pointer would be nice.
[02:05] <tarin> hey
[02:05] <Shadowlander> VNC, multiple users...
[02:05] <cpk1> desres: you just do "sudo lshw" in a terminal and it will ask for a password, use your normal password
[02:05] <rob_> ive spent about 2 hours searching and im come up empty handed, i lost my ubuntu virginity and i need help regaining it and going back to windows
[02:05] <donTaquero> I had installed deb package from activestate but the problem is that perl uses the classical installation.
[02:05] <rob_> can anyone help?
[02:06] <desres> cpk1: i figured that much, but i don't password protect my laptop so i didn't have to do it. I'm trying to dig though this mess of info.........
[02:06] <cpk1> desres: when you log in you dont have to use a password?
[02:06] <ElbridgeGerry> How do I access my media card reader in Ubuntu?
[02:06] <Shadowlander> donTaquero: I'm not familiar with the term "classical installation"
[02:06] <minimec> rob_: what are you talking about?
[02:06] <ElbridgeGerry> Meh.
[02:07] <desres> cpk1: i disabled the password on xp. it was annoying, and im just a teenager so it doesn't matter.
[02:07] <tarin> can i bring up the command line in which i enter the "sudo" commands while im in the gui?
[02:07] <Frogzoo> elpargo: if you're lucky, drop in the CF/SD or whatever & look under /media
[02:07] <rapid> tarin, yes
[02:07] <tarin> how to?
[02:07] <lynucs> tarin gksu?
[02:07] <rapid> tarin: run, xterm.
[02:07] <Frogzoo> bah
[02:07] <cpk1> desres: ok, then maybe sudo wont ask for a password
[02:08] <Shadowlander> tarin: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[02:08] <tarin> xterm? sorry i dont really undertand how the file system works in kubuntu. im so used to the root system
[02:08] <desres> cpk1: it didn't. Where in this dump of info would I find any info on my wireless card?
[02:08] <tarin> ok Shadowlander I'll try that
[02:09] <Frankiebaby1986> does anyone have experience with ubuntu on an inspiron 9300?
[02:09] <Shadowlander> Any VNC gurus around?  :|
[02:09] <cpk1> desres: there should be a "network" section
[02:09] <desres> cpk1: i found what my wireless card is
[02:09] <dreamerdude> rob_: stick your xp disk in
[02:09] <desres> cpk1: i have to leave real fast
[02:09] <desres> ill be around
[02:10] <carlhume> Shadowlander, I've used VNC... wouldn't call myself a guru though
[02:10] <carlhume> Shadowlander, What's up?
[02:10] <donTaquero> Shadowlander: I refer to native perl installation.
[02:11] <Shadowlander> carlhume: I'm trying to set up a multi-user VNC system without making the user specify the display
[02:11] <cpk1> desres: ok so what information does it say about your card?
[02:11] <tarin> i cant find "Terminal"... nor can i find "Applications" is it just under the menu? I'm using kubuntu btw
[02:11] <megafauna> elpargo: Thanks! it worked and synaptic is running:_D Now to try to reinstall the new Amarok again BTW, I did not know that ^ == ctrl and that Write Out is a euphemism for save. Thanks again!
[02:11] <Shadowlander> donTaquero: I'm not really sure about that.  Does perl not show up in the package manager?
[02:12] <Shadowlander> tarin: Sorry, I'm not familiar with kubuntu
[02:12] <elpargo> megafauna, yes nano is a very weird program I don't like it for that
[02:12] <elpargo> megafauna, enjoy your amarok
[02:13] <Flannel> tarin: Konsole is what you're looking for
[02:13] <Shadowlander> tarin: That's just where the Terminal is on my setup.  Actually, I added it to the main menu bar, but that's where it started.  :)
[02:13] <desres> cpk1: it says vendor:broadcom corporation
[02:13] <tarin> ah... hmmm. you guys are just generally more helpful than those guys over at #kubuntu
[02:13] <rob_> i have two sata drives, one with ubuntu and one with ms winxp, and i want to format my ubuntu drive but right now i can't even boot back in to windows
[02:13] <Flannel> tarin: and, "Applications" is a gnome-ism.  Kubuntu uses different names for stuff
[02:13] <tarin> Konsole, then?
[02:14] <tarin> I'll try it out
[02:14] <cpk1> desres: and....
[02:14] <Flannel> rob_: you'll need to use your windows disk and "fixmbr" to reinstall your XPs bootloader
[02:14] <papatwilight> i got beryl to work :)
[02:14] <desres> cpk1: physical id, bus info, logical name, version, serial, width, clock, capabilities, configuation
[02:14] <Flannel> tarin: Konsole is a terminal, just like 'terminal'
[02:14] <desres> cpk1: those are just the topics
[02:14] <tarin> got it running. thanks
[02:14] <Shadowlander> carlhume: Any pointers on setting up the multi-user VNC server by any chance?
[02:14] <desres> cpk1: do any look promising
[02:15] <JGeek1> just installed webmin in ubuntu 6.10, but can't access interface
[02:15] <JGeek1> using http://localhost:10000/
[02:15] <tarin> so now with Konsole(terminal) running, I can get Beryl running, install driver, etc?
[02:15] <cpk1> desres: well logical name is what you would use to give commands for it, there isnt a product section?
[02:16] <Flannel> tarin: #ubuntu-effects for beryl/etc support, they'll be able to help you get it all running
[02:16] <whileimhere> How do you rips mp3s with an ubuntu install?
[02:16] <tarin> would that apply to kubuntu as well?
[02:16] <Flannel> tarin: yeah
[02:16] <linxeh> are there any web based front ends to inn? a bit like the google newsgroups thing ?
[02:16] <carlhume> Shadowlander, sorry - I've only set it up for personal use...
[02:16] <tarin> awesome, thanks
[02:16] <Frankiebaby1986> anyone know how to change the default volume in gnome?
[02:16] <Shadowlander> carlhume: No problem.  Thanks for tryin'
[02:16] <Frankiebaby1986> volume slider
[02:17] <carlhume> Shadowlander - which VNC client are you using?
[02:17] <Flannel> JGeek1: er, webmin isn't supported (it's not even in the repositories anymore), check your configuration.
[02:17] <Shadowlander> I'm not yet.
[02:17] <carlhume> ah
[02:17] <desres> cpk: i can't see a products section, per se.
[02:17] <carlhume> Shadowlander, I don't recall ever having to set up DISPLAY...
[02:17] <cpk1> desres: just pastebin the whole output it will make it easier

[02:20] <fallen_> what program should i use to edit a application/x-ms-dos-executable so i can run a game?
[02:20] <desres> cpk1: sorry, im not well versed in irc
[02:20] <MrSiebel> Can anybody help me with rt61?
[02:20] <Flannel> fallen_: edit?  a hex editor
[02:20] <cpk1> desres: looks like it will already work maybe, i take it you arent connecting with this card?
[02:20] <spuddogg_> Shadowlander, what is it you are trying to do?
[02:20] <desres> cpk1: i am not connecting with this card
[02:21] <fallen_> i don't know any hex all i want to do is change where the program looks for its dependencies
[02:21] <Shadowlander> spuddogg_: I'm trying to set up a multi-user VNC setup such that the users don't have to specify a display...
[02:21] <tim167> how do i make a video DVD ?
[02:21] <Shadowlander> spuddogg_: So that everyone is independent
[02:21] <cpk1> desres: this is wireless right? try sudo ifup eth1 and then try iwlist scan eth1
[02:21] <MrSiebel> RT61 anybody?
[02:21] <fallen_> right now it is using the \ from windows
[02:22] <tim167> is there a dvd mastering program on ubuntu ?
[02:22] <desres> cpk1: that didnt really make much sense to me, but i can do the first part
[02:22] <Flannel> fallen_: if it's a binary, the only thing you can edit it with is a hex editor
[02:22] <rapid> MrSiebel, mention wireless. gtg.
[02:22] <MrSiebel> Yeah
[02:22] <tim167> i need to make 'vob' files from my video to make a playable dvd
[02:22] <MrSiebel> Thanks
[02:22] <MrSiebel> Wireless?
[02:22] <cpk1> MrSiebel: I have one but havent gotten around to seeing if it works and whatnot but let me know how it goes =D
[02:22] <spuddogg_> Shadowlander, I guess you can't connect more than once with vncviewer?
[02:22] <desres> cpk1: it tells me interface eth1 already configured
[02:22] <fallen_> is application/x-ms-dos-executable binary? its a exe file, medal of honor allied assualt multiplayer demo
[02:23] <cpk1> desres: then do "iwlist scan eth1"
[02:23] <MrSiebel> Sure thanks cpk
[02:23] <MrSiebel> Not a problem
[02:23] <jvai> dvdrip & / or gnomebaker  from the repos @tin167
[02:23] <Shadowlander> spuddogg_: If you set up multiple displays and then select the one you want with the viewer you can.  It's not really a viewer issue I'm trying to solve--it's a vncserver issue
[02:23] <desres> cpk1: i entered it and it said "unknown comand eth1"
[02:24] <megafauna> elpargo: are you still here?
[02:24] <cpk1> desres: you're right, just do iwlist scan
[02:24] <Shadowlander> See you guys later.
[02:24] <spuddogg_> Shadowlander, Ok...I guess I'm not really sure exactly the problem you're having.  All I use vnc for is remote desktop on my local network...I've never tried to use more than one user thoguh
[02:24] <spuddogg_> though
[02:24] <cpk1> or iwlist eth1 scan guess my syntax was wrong
[02:24] <Shadowlander> Thanks
[02:25] <desres> cpk1: they all say "interface doesn't support scanning, except for eth1, that says "no scan results"
[02:25] <krel> When I put my laptop to sleep, about 70% of the time it won't come out of sleep afterwards.  Is this fixable?
[02:25] <krel> (on 6.10)
[02:25] <cpk1> desres: is there a signal in range of you?
[02:26] <elpargo> megafauna, yup
[02:26] <spuddogg_> desres, is the SSID being broadcasted?
[02:26] <krel> (also using xgl+beryl, if that's relevant)
[02:26] <desres> cpk1: yes, about a foot and a half :)
[02:26] <desres> spuddogg_: i have the SSID, its my home network.
[02:26] <fallen_> well i guess i am stuck with windows if i can't play my games
[02:27] <megafauna> I ran the 6 lines of code on the install webpage instructions, assumed that synaptic would have picked up the new version, it hasn't, what do i do now then?
[02:27] <spuddogg_> desres, yes, but im pretty sure that it will not show up in an 'iwlist <iface> scan" if the ssid is not being broadcasted
[02:27] <megafauna> elpargo: I feel more than a little dumb
[02:27] <Flannel> fallen_: Yes, exe's are binary files.  Unless it has configuration (in the registry or whatnot) for where it's looking, you're out of luck
[02:27] <elpargo> megafauna, we all did at some time :)
[02:28] <elpargo> just remember they are not stupid questions just obvious answers
[02:28] <quaal> does anyone use fluxbox
[02:28] <desres> spuddogg_: i just disconnected the ethernet cable, lets see if its working in my ignorance
[02:28] <desres> cpk1: its still not working, to my chagrin
[02:29] <spuddogg_> desres, did you put the SSID and key (if any) into your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[02:29] <roostishaw> "It makes a lot of sense to get rid of linux-restricted-modules entirely and just build your own (since this avoids all the cruft with the tmpfs and linking-at-bootup). " (talking running ubuntu edgy on a macbook "1st gen") What is this talking about? Why would i build the linux-restricted-modules on my own? How would i build the linux-restricted-modules myself?
[02:29] <desres> spuddogg_: i tried that last night, and it didnt work. i can try it again
[02:29] <minimec> quaal: I used flux for a long time. What is the problem?
[02:29] <quaal> minimec, just trying to get it setup
[02:30] <megafauna> epargo: haha:-) I need an obvious answer then
[02:30] <quaal> you know of a guide that walks through how to do it
[02:30] <desres> spuddogg_:thats under system>administration>networking, yes?
[02:30] <quaal> minimec, its been a week or so since i tried, but i got to the step where you log out of X and there is supposed to be an option to boot into fluxbox but i dont see that. just the normal ubuntu login screen
[02:30] <elpargo> quaal, I think there is a fluxbox-desktop
[02:30] <spuddogg_> desres, well you can put the info in there, but I would recommend using a text editor to input the info manually.  'sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces'
[02:31] <elpargo> quaal, did you check the "sessions"
[02:31] <IpMars> hello there
[02:31] <whileimhere> Everytime I insert a SD card into the card reader it says "A Photo card has been detected." and there is a checkbox for "Always Perform this Action" Even when I have checked it it will ask every time I mount the device. Anyone know how to stop it for good?
[02:31] <quaal> elpargo, where is the 'sessions'
[02:31] <IpMars> wanna set up a dial-up connection
[02:31] <IpMars> someone help
[02:31] <minimec> quaal: Ok. You have to choose 'fluxbox' in the sessions menu of gdm.
[02:31] <elpargo> quaal, on GDM you need to change the session it's on the first menu
[02:31] <quaal> hmm
[02:32] <quaal> maybe my GDM is different. its the default one in ubuntu. just has the login box
[02:32] <quaal> do i need to change something to get this pick menu ?
[02:32] <desres> spuddogg_:I did that, and I am very confused by what popped up. WHat do i do with this stuff? fo to the eth1 thing, somehow, i assume.........but what?
[02:32] <minimec> quaal: there has to be a kind of option button...
[02:33] <elpargo> quaal, in the default there 2 bottoms on the lower left it's the first one
[02:33] <quaal> hmm
[02:33] <quaal> ok
[02:33] <quaal> let me try 1 sec
[02:33] <spuddogg_> desres, send me a pastebin with the output from 'ifconfig', 'iwlist eth<#> scan'
[02:33] <quaal> also, is there a way to keep my windows open and active when i log out of X ?
[02:33] <elpargo> quaal, huh?
[02:34] <shriphani> can anyone please name a good browser which doesnt take as much time as firefox to start ?
[02:34] <quaal> hm. guess not
[02:34] <tim167> making dvd anyone ?
[02:34] <quaal> shriphani, might try opera
[02:34] <quaal> i'll brb
[02:34] <minimec> quaal: no, because x is responseble for the windows. :-) You could start a 2nd x-session...
[02:34] <zorba64> epiphany
[02:34] <shriphani> opera is quicker than firefox in starting up ?
[02:34] <Bayu> how can i update my repository, i'm forgot
[02:34] <elpargo> shriphani, nothing is faster :) you may want to search the internet there a lot of tips on how to make it faster
[02:35] <shriphani> oh
[02:35] <IpMars> exit
[02:35] <elpargo> shriphani, I don't care about that because a) it's always open b) when it does goes down it has to open a LOT of tabs
[02:35] <fallen_> exit
[02:35] <tim167> need DVD film make help!
[02:36] <desres> spuddogg_:I am really sorry, but none of that is making sense to me. How do I do a  pastebin, and what are you asking for?
[02:36] <elpargo> tim167, how about a sentence?
[02:36] <Shaffox> is it possible to change your username?
[02:36] <jvai> dvdrip & / or gnomebaker  from the repos @tin167

[02:38] <megafauna> no, here is the code I did: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Installation_HowTo           under kubuntu
[02:38] <megafauna> elpargo: no, here is the code I did: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Installation_HowTo           under kubuntu
[02:38] <spuddogg_> desres, go here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org    Put the ouput from your files in there and hit "Paste!"  then copy the url from the top of your browser and put it here
[02:38] <Shaffox> is there a way to change your username ?
[02:39] <megafauna> elpargo: I thought that synaptic would pick up the changes and I'd install it thru there.
[02:39] <megafauna> elpargo: but it didn't
[02:39] <Kengi> Can someone help me please?
[02:39] <elpargo> ehc, weird I just upgraded that today...
[02:39] <desres> spuddogg_: i am still base, what output are you looking for? the stuff from the "sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces"?
[02:39] <elpargo> megafauna, yes you need to refresh it
[02:39] <ehc> where did you get the package from?
[02:39] <megafauna> elpargo: hmmmm. looking about it
[02:40] <elpargo> megafauna, it's at the top left
[02:40] <meisam> hi, how can i install SQL explorer for Eclipse project ?
[02:40] <elpargo> ehc, main repo?
[02:40] <Nergar> anyone knows how to remove "things" from the aplications menu in Gnome?
[02:40] <spuddogg_> desres, yes, and also from the commands 'ifconfig' and 'iwlist eth<#> scan'  the # sign is obviously the interface you have in question
[02:40] <elpargo> ehc, sorry I was referring to the lib not xchat
[02:41] <elpargo> ehc, xchat still at 2.6.6
[02:41] <Omni-> so, anyone here want to enlignten me, as to why Ubuntu Edgy wouldnt pick up my RAID?
[02:41] <ehc> elpargo, oh. is xchat in the repo?
[02:41] <megafauna> elpargo: found it:)
[02:41] <vladuz976> is there anything comparable to dreamweaver in linux? are serious web designers actually using linux, too?
[02:41] <meisam> does anybody know anything about eclipse project here?
[02:41] <elpargo> ehc, libdbus 0.93
[02:41] <mehtodize> i need to get permission to a file so that i can add to it. but i need 'permission'. can anyone help?
[02:41] <Nergar> Biovore, do you have time?
[02:41] <elpargo> vladuz976, I'm sorry but serious and deamweaver don't go in the same sentence
[02:42] <desres> spuddogg_: first, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6032/
[02:42] <ehc> elpargo, is xchat in the main repo? under xchat?
[02:42] <boredandblogging> meisam, did you download the plugin
[02:42] <Kengi> hello
[02:42] <elpargo> mehtodize, gksu gedit file
[02:42] <meisam> boredandblogging not yet
[02:42] <meisam> how?
[02:42] <elpargo> ehc, yup let me check the repo
[02:42] <mehtodize> k let me try it
[02:43] <Kengi> i installed ubuntu on my hard disk acouple months ago and now today when i boot i get and Error saying "Error 17". Can anyone help me please?
[02:43] <elpargo> ehc, it's in universe do you have that?
[02:43] <boredandblogging> meisam, http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsesql
[02:43] <ehc> vladuz976, Nvu is an option. but dreamweaver often creates poorly functional webpages so i don't know what features you want
[02:44] <ehc> im not at that computer right now so i don't know
[02:44] <ehc> what is your unvierse line?
[02:44] <desres> spuddogg_:next, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6033/
[02:44] <Dextorion> vladuz976: nvu..
[02:44] <atomiku> What are the alternatives to wine?
[02:44] <sigger> I just started using my new Ubuntu laptop on my home LAN with Knoppix (KnoppMyth) PC's.  I have UID/GID conflicts.  e.g. Knopp wants UID 105 to be mythtv and Ubuntu wants it to be cupsys.  Anyone have any ideas?
[02:44] <Dextorion> Ah.. ehc beat me to it.
[02:44] <elpargo> atomiku, none :)
[02:44] <boredandblogging> meisam, you could try downloading the plugin through eclipse like mentioned at http://www.sqlexplorer.org/
[02:44] <mehtodize> i tried it and i still can't get into it....
[02:44] <ehc> Dextorion, forgive me :)
[02:44] <elpargo> Dextorion, please do not insult nvu
[02:44] <Beverage> whats the command to lock my screen? like a button command?
[02:45] <vladuz976> ehc: but i heard it is pretty good with css, too. how about nvu
[02:45] <Dextorion> ehc: I forgive you mate :D
[02:45] <tim167> how do i run Kino when in Fluxbox, i dont (know where/what the binary is) just doing ./Kino in terminal doesnt work
[02:45] <Dextorion> elpargo: hm?
[02:45] <meisam> boredandblogging is there any difference between sql explorer or myeclipse project? if its off topic sorry
[02:45] <desres> spuddogg_: iwlist eth1 scan returns: "eth1 No Scan Results"
[02:45] <elpargo> tim167, is it on your path?
[02:45] <vladuz976> Dextorion: i just keep hearing that nvu doesn't have enough functions and is too primitive
[02:45] <ehc> vladuz976, are you using dreamweaver as a WYSIWYG or an editor?
[02:45] <vladuz976> Dextorion: that's just what i read online, though
[02:45] <WMcL> Beverage: per default it's set to ctrl+alt+l, but you can change it
[02:45] <ehc> there are many wonderful editors
[02:45] <boredandblogging> boredandblogging, yes, myeclipse does a whole lot of different things
[02:45] <elpargo> Dextorion, deamweaver sucks
[02:46] <vladuz976> ehc: wysiwyg
[02:46] <Dextorion> elpargo: Guess that is a personal thought.
[02:46] <Beverage> oka thanks
[02:46] <Nergar> please???
[02:46] <Dextorion> elpargo: Not that i've used dreamweaver very much at all.
[02:46] <sigger> I'm actually somewhat frustrated with Dreamweaver too.  Love to hear about something better.  esp FOSS
[02:46] <boredandblogging> meisam, myeclipse has integrated a lot of nice tools with eclipse
[02:46] <elpargo> Dextorion, please never put on the internet any broken code that comes put of it
[02:46] <boredandblogging> meisam, but it costs money
[02:46] <elpargo> ./put/out
[02:47] <tim167> elpargo: should be i guess, i installed it with synaptic back when i was a Gnome inhabitant...
[02:47] <Dextorion> elpargo: ok then.
[02:47] <Nergar> anyone knows how to remove "things" from the aplications menu in Gnome?
[02:47] <ehc> vladuz976, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG
[02:47] <CaptainMorgan> can someone please assist in downloading the JRE for firefox please?
[02:47] <elpargo> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[02:47] <meisam> boredandblogging meaning that i`d better install sql explorer in eclipse rather than myeclipse ? yes dude?
[02:47] <elpargo> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[02:47] <elpargo> ehc, ^^^
[02:47] <Kengi> is this the channel to use to ask for help in solving problems in ubuntu?
[02:47] <spuddogg_> desres, ok.  here is the problem.  whatever hardware you are using is not being recognized.  in your 'ifconfig' output, you should see eth0 (your wired ethernet connection), and something like ath0, eth1, wlan0, etc.  what wireless card are you using
[02:47] <TheLoveBosS> hello i want to ask please  ...  i have a network and i have a 10 users on it and i want to control this network  .. limit the speed to evrey one on it and limit the max speed too .... what is the program i can use to do this ?? "i use ubuntu"
[02:47] <erUSUL> !java > CaptainMorgan
[02:48] <CaptainMorgan> erUSUL, ?
[02:48] <boredandblogging> meisam, depends on what you want, if you just want to look at databases, sql explorer is fine
[02:48] <ehc> elpargo, okay, i'll check that tomorrow. do you happen to know if it is by default installed?
[02:48] <atrain> ARG! PCMCIA network card was working fine, now it suddenly died. Wont take static or dhcp, link light flashs like crazy, the machine knows its there and its state. RTL8139C based DFE690TXD -> any ideas/starting points?
[02:48] <erUSUL> !java | CaptainMorgan
[02:48] <ubotu> CaptainMorgan: 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
[02:48] <elpargo> it all depends, if you really write HTML and good code IMO the best outthere is aptana
[02:48] <desres> spuddogg_: i am not sure entirely of the brand name, or product number, but its a broadcom. and ubuntu is recognizing it under eth1
[02:48] <erUSUL> CaptainMorgan: see the msg of ubotu
[02:48] <elpargo> ehc, I believe it's commented out
[02:48] <TheLoveBosS> hello are any body there?
[02:48] <meisam> boredandblogging i us wanna make some connections to mysql database fom eclipse
[02:49] <sethk> atrain, it's a total loss, and those realteks are super cheap
[02:49] <meisam> boredandblogging i just*
[02:49] <ciscosurfer> No Last.fm users here?
[02:49] <spuddogg_> desres, there should be an eth1 in your ifconfig output, but there is not.  pastebin me the output from: 'ifconfig eth1'
[02:49] <boredandblogging> meisam, sql explorer will do just fine
[02:49] <sigger> CaptainMorgan: FWIW, I got from here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
[02:49] <sethk> atrain, you can try unloading and reloading the pcmcia driver, but it isn't really going to help
[02:49] <ehc> vladuz976, the switch between design and code (or something like that) buttons on dreamweaver allow you to use both
[02:49] <CaptainMorgan> this is all for firefox?
[02:49] <elpargo> tora is a nice tool for sql
[02:49] <Nergar> never mind
[02:49] <atrain> arg.... i dont want to put more $ into this laptop... its a P2-300MHz running 160Mb ram + ubuntu-server... I've tried reloading modules plenty of times...
[02:49] <JGeeky_> hexidigital: okay, I got it running now
[02:50] <ehc> elpargo, okay, is xchat in the universe also? under just xchat?
[02:50] <mehtodize> elpargo: i have tried it and i still get a message saying that it's blocked when the window comes up
[02:50] <JGeeky_> i'm using firefox, and it's trying to open the .cgi file when I login
[02:50] <sigger> CaptainMorgan: Its java.  There is a plugin that integrates it into FF.
[02:50] <elpargo> ehc, yup
[02:50] <atrain> the big issue is, without wired networking, i cant even start to get my wifi usb working :P
[02:50] <vladuz976> ehc: you want me to read the wiki? i don't understand what you mean
[02:50] <D7k> in the services settings panel, I have actions scheduler twice, as anacron and atd, are both of these required?
[02:50] <elpargo> mehtodize, ???
[02:50] <tim167> ok solved that step never mind, it was kino with a small k...
[02:50] <obi_tux_kenobi> hi all, i am trying to install 915resolution and apt isnt finding the package, are the repos having issues?
[02:50] <hexidigital> JGeeky_:  good :)
[02:50] <desres> spuddogg_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6036/
[02:50] <mehtodize> elpargo: yeah im they guy who cant get permission to write to his folders...haha
[02:51] <newest007> hey there, im trying to install superkaramba, when i type in ./configure, it gets to a point where it says "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"  there on in i cant use 'make'
[02:51] <newest007> how do i fix this?
[02:51] <sethk> newest007, you need the X development packages
[02:51] <JGeeky_> hexidigital: why is firefox trying to edit the .cgi file?
[02:51] <sethk> newest007, in synaptic do a search for X dev (  that's x space dev)
[02:51] <elpargo> newest007, your missing x dev package, isn't there a .deb for that?
[02:51] <atrain> yup, its teh wifi adapter -> not working in win98 either now....
[02:52] <spuddogg_> desres, have you installed the ndiswrapper packages?  if you don't know what that is, we'll go to that next.  you will however need to know the manufacturer and model of your wireless card.  is it integrated or usb/pcmcia?
[02:52] <newest007> k, ill have a look now
[02:52] <elpargo> mehtodize, ahh ok is that something on your home? how did it got those permissions?
[02:52] <hexidigital> JGeeky_:  i've had that problem before... if you hit refresh, and log in again, it works...
[02:52] <Omni-> so, anyone here want to enlignten me, as to why Ubuntu Edgy wouldnt pick up my RAID?
[02:52] <vladuz976> ehc: just wondering why everybody says (web)designers work on macs. i mean dreamweaver is the same on mac and windows. I thought there must be an advantage to using dreamweaver then
[02:52] <desres> spuddogg: it is internal, so "integrated." i have heard about ndiswrapper, but just not installed it. should i?
[02:52] <mehtodize> well when i tried it gave me this: "Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed."
[02:52] <ehc> vladuz976, who is everybody?
[02:53] <spuddogg_> desres, do you have the windows driver cd for the internal card?
[02:53] <meisam> boredandblogging sorry i can not find the tar gz file here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132863
[02:53] <JGeeky_> hexidigital: negative, same thing every time
[02:53] <JGeeky_> hexidigital: the password is my linux login right?
[02:53] <sethk> mehtodize, you can disable host authentication and then it will let anything connect
[02:53] <vladuz976> ehc: blogs on deviantART and elsewhere
[02:53] <hexidigital> JGeeky_:  yes
[02:53] <desres> spuddogg_: the laptop came with the card, ie, i have never seen the card nor do i have anything telling me about it.
[02:53] <hexidigital> JGeeky_:  close FF and retry
[02:53] <ehc> vladuz976, im positive there a web designer on macs, windows and linux. maybe they have the majority though
[02:53] <vladuz976> ehc: authors of templates on opensource webdesign
[02:53] <mehtodize> sethk: how do i disable host authentication?
[02:54] <TheLoveBosS> ok what about my problem please?

[02:54] <boredandblogging> meisam, just go here http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=132863&use_mirror=internap&filename=sqlexplorer_plugin_3.0.0.20060901.zip&11627245
[02:54] <sethk> mehtodize, you can reverse that with    xhost -
[02:54] <spuddogg_> desres, well, what you need to do is find the proper windows driver for it.  then, we'll use ndiswrapper to make that driver work in linux
[02:54] <CaptainMorgan> how do I set the rpm command? i assume my path is wrong...
[02:54] <atrain> wait, it was the lan cable :P :D
[02:54] <CaptainMorgan> !rpm
[02:54] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[02:54] <atrain> thx anyways, bye all!
[02:54] <CaptainMorgan> huh?
[02:54] <JGeeky_> hexidigital: there we go, thanks
[02:55] <GaiaX11> desres: is the card already installed in the laptop?
[02:55] <hexidigital> JGeeky_: ok
[02:55] <CaptainMorgan> the jre instructions say I need to use the rpm command...
[02:55] <desres> gaiax11: yes, it is.
[02:55] <meisam> boredandblogging but dude it is zip file
[02:55] <desres> gaiax11: however, i am running the liveCD right now
[02:55] <Nergar> whats the # for edgy??
[02:55] <meisam> boredandblogging can i run it under ubuntu?
[02:55] <TheLoveBosS> hello if any body see my words please tell me
[02:55] <newest007> erm, i searched for x dev, but theres only one that relates to it and it says its a dummy package for transition purposes, is that the one im meant to dl?
[02:55] <sethk> CaptainMorgan, you don't want to use rpm on ubuntu, really, when there is an alternative, and there is certainly an alternative here
[02:55] <Nergar> TheLoveBosS,
[02:55] <GaiaX11> desres: do lspci in the terminal and see if you get any output
[02:55] <bimberi> Nergar: 6.10
[02:56] <spuddogg_> desres, the problem im pretty sure you're having is the same one that alot of people have with broadcom.  for some reason, broadcom refuses to release drivers for any operating system other that windows (and maybe mac)
[02:56] <TheLoveBosS> yes
[02:56] <CaptainMorgan> sethk, please do tell
[02:56] <grimeboy> Hmm... gedit doesn't seem to want to open a 350kb file.
[02:56] <sethk> CaptainMorgan, I use the JRE from java.sun.com
[02:56] <qiyong> any menu based package management tools?
[02:56] <CaptainMorgan> sethk,  apt-install? or just apt?
[02:56] <GaiaX11> desres: if you do. Then look for a line called:  Ethernet controller
[02:56] <desres> spuddogg_: so, is there a solution, or am i stuck with XP until I get a new laptop?
[02:56] <sethk> CaptainMorgan, there is surely one with apt, also
[02:56] <CaptainMorgan> sethk,  that's the same java I downloaded
[02:56] <mehtodize> is anyone familiar with XMMS?
[02:57] <sethk> CaptainMorgan, not the one that uses rpm, though
[02:57] <ehc> vladuz976, if dreamweaver works for you, great. but a lot of people dislike it for many reasons. there isn't a definite right or wrong. all mac users  etc.
[02:57] <Frogzoo> TheLoveBosS: nothing to see here - move along
[02:57] <sethk> CaptainMorgan, the one that is just a tarball
[02:57] <newest007> im really lost, all i want to do is use superkaramba, but i need 'x dev' or something, but when i type that into synapitc it shows me a whole bunch of stuff, where is the x dev thing?

[02:57] <spuddogg_> desres, well like gaia said, run 'lspci' and hopefully it will tell you what card you have
[02:57] <Nergar> lol sorry whats the #channel for Feisty??

[02:59] <desres> gaiax11_: sorry, i wasn't intentially ignoring you, i just didn't know how to respond
[02:59] <ehc> vladuz976, that is a very reasonable reason to not use it. what did you saw you used it for? editing (working with text like html and css) or the design part where it is a gui for making pages?

[03:00] <qiyong> sethk, is aptitude available?
[03:00] <boredandblogging> meisam, if you are, when you try to download it, the archive manager will pop up and ask you where to unzip it
[03:00] <vladuz976> ehc: just to put simple site togehter with the gui quickly. I'd like to learn how to do more though.
[03:00] <sethk> qiyong, yes,

[03:00] <TheLoveBosS> Frogzoo: what u mean with nothing to see here - move along
[03:00] <Richard2007> thanks ubotu, bimberir what is !mp3
[03:00] <boredandblogging> meisam, if a plugin is meant for eclipse, it should run on any platform

[03:00] <qiyong> sethk, i've installed ubuntu 6.06 lts, how can I upgrade it into the ubuntu latest edge?
[03:00] <ehc> vladuz976, learning how to understand the code is extremely helpful for troubleshooting.
[03:01] <bimberi> Richard2007: it's a trigger to make ubotu dump its mp3 factoid
[03:01] <CaptainMorgan> all I get is syntax errors and no such file or dir found errors when I try to run the executable jre .bin

[03:01] <Jrabbit> I need ot change the GNOME login screen resolution any help?
[03:02] <vladuz976> ehc: you know anything about amaya it's on the w3c website
[03:02] <Hobbsee> !xincludes | newest007
[03:02] <ubotu> newest007: When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following packages: xlibs-dev   xlibs-static-dev   xorg-dev
[03:02] <bimberi> Richard2007: no, you need to read the information in the webpage(s) ubotu told you about
[03:02] <TheLoveBosS> ok what is the right place to ask this questions ?
[03:02] <GaiaX11> noodles12: how big is your hd for Linux?
[03:02] <sycho> My Xorg crashed and its asking me if I would like to report the error. I would like to but I would like to see the data that will be sent before I decide to send it? Is it possible to see what will be sent in the crash report?
[03:02] <Richard2007> ok bimberi off to read sites now
[03:02] <noodles12> 120gb
[03:02] <spuddogg_> desres, search around for the windows driver for "Broadcom Corporation BCM4318"
[03:02] <noodles12> GaiaX11: 120gb. it'l lbe the only OS on this computer
[03:02] <Richard2007> opps one more question anyone here have a netgear wn311b working
[03:03] <crosscut> i'm using bcm43xx on ppc hardware and i can successfully scan on the command prompt
[03:03] <sethk> sycho, it will be in the X log, which is /var/log/X.....
[03:04] <crosscut> knetworkmanager simply doesn't scan wireless and "enable wireless" is available but doesn't do anything when clicked
[03:04] <grimeboy> So, uhh... Anyone know how do I check which program has control of the sound card?
[03:04] <spuddogg_> desres, then install the packages "ndistgk" and "ndiswrapper-utils".  the ndistgk package will make a program located at "System -> Administration -> Windows Wireless Networks" or something along those lines.  that should be the easiest way to get your wireless working.  its really not that bad, but hang in there...It's better than winblows XP man
[03:04] <matias> my pendrive isn't detected anymore... which daemon/s should i restart?  already tried rchal and rcdbus
[03:05] <kitche> grimeboy: lsof /dev/dsp
[03:05] <ehc> vladuz976, nope
[03:05] <grimeboy> kitche, Thanks.
[03:05] <roostishaw> "It makes a lot of sense to get rid of linux-restricted-modules entirely and just build your own (since this avoids all the cruft with the tmpfs and linking-at-bootup). " (talking running ubuntu edgy on a macbook "1st gen") What is this talking about? Why would i build the linux-restricted-modules on my own? How would i build the linux-restricted-modules myself?
[03:05] <spuddogg_> grimeboy, kitche is the man
[03:05] <desres> spuddogg_: this is really the deciding factor as to whether i can make the switch to ubuntu
[03:05] <GaiaX11> noodles12: When you install ubuntu it automatically set the partitions for you. Normally it will set up /swap an /, but /home and /boot will be also on them although you will not see them (/home and /boot). Just install it if ubuntu will bem the only os in your system
[03:06] <holycow> roostishaw, you wouldn't.
[03:06] <holycow> ignore that, its written by a dumbass
[03:06] <grimeboy> spuddogg_, Yup
[03:06] <spuddogg_> desres, you can definately get it working...i've done it before with a broadcom.  the only difference is that i had the windows install cd and I knew exactly what the card was
[03:06] <roostishaw> holycow: will do...

[03:12] <glok> what's wierd was i had set it up on rh8 and 9 in the past and don't remember ever doing that step; but glad it works ty
[03:12] <GaiaX11> desres: you have to find the .inf file for Broadcom Corporation BCM4318. Probably it will be BCM4318.inf then you will install ndiswrapper and wireless-tools. And you will do in the terminal: sudo ndiswrapper -i  BCM4318.inf . Then go to the file /etc/modules and add the name ndiswrapper at its end. Save it reboot the system, see if the back light goes on in the computer, set up ip, netmask etc... and get access to the net :-)
[03:13] <Kengi> kitche:how can i fix the problem?
[03:13] <blanky> Flannel: is there a command that tells the current user his password? how can I set a password?

[03:13] <Nergar> before i reinstalled ubuntu when i selected an mp3 file it started playing, now nothing happens. what do i have to do??
[03:13] <blanky> Flannel: my friend's new to linux, what's the syntax, passwd ubuntu mypass ?
[03:13] <Frogzoo> Kengi: couple of things - check /boot/grub/menu.lst inside check kopt & groot settings - also, grub doesn't like booting off partitions > say 100meg
[03:14] <mjg> Wireless NIC Help needed. NetGear MA311 and Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy. Can anyone lend assistance?
[03:14] <Flannel> blanky: 'passwd ubuntu' then it'll prompt him for a new password
[03:14] <blanky> thanks man
[03:14] <kitche> Kengi: Be sure to check your root(x,y) settings in your menu.lst.
[03:14] <Kengi> ok
[03:14] <Kengi> i'll check
[03:15] <tim167> how long does kino need to render a DVD directory from a video file ? (i interrupted it after 15 minutes on a 12 second video and ended up with an empty video_ts folder)
[03:15] <dabaR> tim167: longer than you let it, it would appear.
[03:16] <quaal> ok what can fluxbox possibly do to a system to make regular gnome just boot to the blank orange screen
[03:16] <Nergar> anyone has any idea?

[03:16] <MacLinuxMaster> Nergar: Only mp3 don't play ? Try some sounds in /usr/share/sounds
[03:17] <louipc> if you want to use non Open source formats I would stay away from ubuntu
[03:17] <dabaR> louipc: don't be dumb.
[03:17] <mikefosh> Hey guys, I need some help.  How do I configure dancer-ircd?
[03:17] <dabaR> louipc: I mean, don't say dumb things.
[03:17] <SilentDis> louipc, I have no problem at all with pretty much all non-free formats.
[03:17] <Nergar> the files play, if i type play /music/this.mp3 it works, the thing is, they don't play when i select them in nautilus
[03:17] <rukuartic> mikefosh: There's a lot of work behind that...
[03:18] <noodles12> if ubuntu lite's website is down, does that mean the project is dead?
[03:18] <ootm> hi all, is there an easy way to configure the ubuntu firewall via ssh ??? ( in redhat i've used system-config-securitylevel before )
[03:18] <quaal> anyone know how to change my screenres without the menu option ?
[03:18] <Knurg> I'm looking for a SATA2 PciE controller. 2 or 4 ways. Could someone recommend a card working perfect in Ubuntu6.10 without too much effort?
[03:18] <MacLinuxMaster> Nergar: Ok, I understand, I had this problem sometime ago
[03:18] <rukuartic> noodles12: not necessarily
[03:18] <mikefosh> rukuartic: is there a manual I can read or something?
[03:18] <MacLinuxMaster> Try openni
[03:18] <dabaR> Nergar: when you double click on a mp3 file it does not open and play?
[03:18] <Knurg> 2 or 4 channels even
[03:18] <louipc> I tried the hoary hedgehog and I couldn't play any of my files, and i couldn't access my dialup either
[03:18] <rukuartic> mikefosh: There should be one with the binary. But I put it like this, if you have to ask questions about setting up an IRCd you might not want to run one. I'm included in that.
[03:18] <elpargo> hi anyone can recommend me a good strategy game with a great AI?
[03:18] <louipc> so taht I could install stuff to play them
[03:18] <Nergar> when double click it plays fine
[03:18] <rukuartic> mikefosh: I figured it'd be fun to try, but I had no clue what I was doing. So I stuck with Apache and MySQL instead.
[03:19] <mikefosh> I had one, but I want to use dancer now
[03:19] <Flannel> louipc: Hoary Hedgehog was released two years ago, it isn't even supported anymore.  You should try with a modern release
[03:19] <CaptainMorgan> sethk, do you know of a site with the jre so I can test my new install?
[03:19] <rukuartic> mikefosh: This might be a case of googleing.
[03:19] <quaal> anyone know how to change my screenres without the menu option ?
[03:19] <tim167> dabaR: so kino remains unresponsive for 15 + minutes to render 5 seconds of video and that's normal ?
[03:19] <SilentDis> elpargo, personally, i love globulation :)
[03:19] <mikefosh> rukuartic: Thanks.
[03:19] <gaspipe1> hey people
[03:19] <MacLinuxMaster> Try oppenning system>preferences>sound and select enable software mixing
[03:19] <rukuartic> gaspipe1: Hio.
[03:19] <dabaR> Nergar: the preview, when you move your mouse over it does not work?
[03:19] <rukuartic> mikefosh: Har, sorry I couldn't help you.
[03:19] <louipc> Flannel: that probably means that dial-up is even less supported right?
[03:20] <rukuartic> mikefosh: Try looking around in here a bit There's bound to be someone.
[03:20] <Flannel> louipc: no, not at all.
[03:20] <Nergar> dabaR, exactly!!
[03:20] <louipc> Flannel: do the new versions include propriety drivers for modems?
[03:20] <dabaR> Nergar: OK, a better initial question would have been "the preview, when you move your mouse over it does not  work"
[03:20] <desres> kupesoft: are you still around?

[03:20] <elpargo> SilenceGold, is that glob2 from universe?

[03:22] <elpargo> SilentDis, sorry
[03:22] <SilentDis> elpargo, for what?
[03:22] <Nergar> ok software mixing was enabled
[03:22] <tim167> SilentDis: ok i'll check it thanks
[03:22] <elpargo> SilentDis, I send my last message to SilenceGold :)
[03:23] <Nergar> trying mpg123 now
[03:23] <SilentDis> elpargo, it went right by me then.  what's up?
[03:23] <elpargo> SilentDis,, is that glob2 from universe?
[03:23] <MacLinuxMaster> Nergar: Now restart your session or nautilus in system>preferences>sessions
[03:23] <SilentDis> elpargo, I pulled it from their website, i believe.  let me check.

[03:23] <Nergar> -_-?
[03:23] <meisam_> how can i install bitcomet on edgy? thxx
[03:23] <Nergar> MacLinuxMaster, no. it was enabled**
[03:24] <Jrabbit> Um
[03:24] <Nergar> i didn't change it
[03:24] <MacLinuxMaster> Nergar: Sorry
[03:24] <Nergar> np
[03:24] <Jrabbit> I need help with getting my GDM screen in proper res
[03:24] <elpargo> SilentDis, not sure why it's named glob2 but version 0.8 ...
[03:24] <MacLinuxMaster> Nergar: i'm working so much
[03:24] <Jrabbit> any helP?
[03:24] <Jrabbit> #GNOME  wasn't helpful
[03:24] <Nergar> np, thanx for helping though
[03:24] <rukuartic> Jrabbit: Whats your problem?
[03:25] <Knurg> Is there a safe way to spindown a softraid5 array in ubuntu?
[03:25] <Jrabbit> Its not a resoultion my monitor supports
[03:25] <elpargo> Jrabbit, they are actually over on gimpnet but as rukuartic said
[03:25] <SilentDis> elpargo, their homepage is http://www.globulation2.org/ - they have a .deb of the latest version there.  the tutorial is excellent, the low level bots are very easy (AI controls everything though), and the harder ones are true and total masters.  expect 2h+ games of pure fasination :)
[03:25] <Jrabbit> I've edited the Xorg settings but to no avial
[03:25] <rukuartic> Jrabbit: I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying.
[03:26] <elpargo> SilentDis, thanks I'll try it out, you know when you need something new when your playing mines at the highest level and winning!@
[03:26] <Jrabbit> The screen is not visable, I'm on an LCD that only supports even HZ settings
[03:26] <Jrabbit> and only cirtaint resolutions
[03:26] <Jrabbit> I can't switch sessions
[03:26] <Voria1> hey everybody
[03:26] <Voria1> what's up
[03:26] <SilentDis> elpargo, lol yeah.  I do that way too often myself ;)  globulation is very close to on-par with starcraft for an RTS imo :)
[03:27] <negen> ubuntu is up
[03:27] <rukuartic> Jrabbit: I'm not too good with resolution problems, but if you can use a terminal well, try pressing ctrl+alt+f1. to get back to guis, press ctrl+alt+f7
[03:27] <Voria1> i've got a simple question for yall
[03:27] <rukuartic> Voria1: shoot
[03:27] <ElbridgeGerry> What do I need to download from the repositories to get Java to work?
[03:27] <Voria1> i just installed 6.06
[03:27] <SilentDis> !java | ElbridgeGerry
[03:27] <ubotu> ElbridgeGerry: 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
[03:27] <Voria1> and i want to start downloading and compiling stff, you know?
[03:27] <rukuartic> Voria1: Horay :O
[03:27] <elpargo> SilentDis, nice I love starcraft, damn WoW it made blizzard forget about the good games
[03:27] <Voria1> yeah
[03:27] <ElbridgeGerry> Thanks Dis.
[03:27] <rukuartic> Voria1: Well most of the stuff is in the repositories... Are you familiar with Apt?
[03:28] <dabaR> meisam_: there is no bitcomet for Ubuntu, afaik. Use some other program.
[03:28] <ElbridgeGerry> I did that a few seconds ago. D'oh moment.
[03:28] <Shaffox> hey, does anyone knows how you can change your computer name / user name ?
[03:28] <Voria1> yeah, the thing is i need to know wchich reps to use
[03:28] <dabaR> !torrent | meisam_

[03:28] <meisam_> dabaR wat do u recommens dude?
[03:28] <Voria1> cause the ones in the thing by default wont let me download my kernel headers
[03:28] <SilentDis> elpargo, I confess to being a WoW addict.  then again, i run quests orange and higher (very hard) solo... and survive :)
[03:28] <Nergar> dabaR, thanx it works now!!
[03:28] <seamus7> Hi all ... when I reinstall Ubuntu, what programs will I likely need to reinstall given that /home is on its own partition???
[03:29] <dabaR> Nergar: good, i figured that out at some point
[03:29] <MacLinuxMaster> Nergar: You get it working with mpg123 ?
[03:29] <rukuartic> Voria1: If you use source-o-matic it will give you a sources.list
[03:29] <Voria1> cool
[03:29] <Nergar> yes MacLinuxMaster
[03:29] <Voria1> where shloyd u get it/
[03:29] <SilentDis> seamus7, my basics are the non-free audio plugins, envy (see !envy) for my vid drivers, and the beryl repos :)
[03:29] <elpargo> SilentDis, umm the dns is not resolving their site...
[03:29] <Nergar> just install and works
[03:29] <rukuartic> Voria1: So... Try this first... open up /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the lines you're interested in.
[03:30] <rukuartic> Voria1: Then try apt-get update. If you still can't find it, you can go here http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[03:30] <Voria1> i still hsve the vdefault oes
[03:30] <coldboot> Does anyone in here live in Vancouver?
[03:30] <Voria1> ty
[03:30] <rukuartic> Voria1: Just make sure you get the right ones, because if you mess it up its hard to fix.
[03:30] <Shaffox> hey, does anyone knows how you can change your computer name / user name ?
[03:30] <bruenig> Shaffox, system>administration>user and groups
[03:30] <SilentDis> seamus7, also, liferea (RSS aggrigator), xchat, couple others here and there.  if you're reinstalling, not upgrading, might behoove you to do a quick autoclean of your packages, then copy off /var/cache/apt/archives :)
[03:31] <rukuartic> Shaffox: You can change your hostname in Administration>Networking
[03:31] <crosscut> anyone know why knetworkmanager wouldn't be able to scan wireless networks but network-manager in GNOME would?
[03:31] <GaiaX11> desres: I think I have just found your drive and a mini-tutorial to set your card up and and you can follow the steps that I also gave you  http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=38576&pid=291536&st=0&#entry291536  :-)
[03:31] <Shaffox> bruenig: yeah, but when i add one and i log off i can't login with the new one :s
[03:31] <elpargo> SilentDis, but from the description it seems I'll love it, I was actually thinking I need a game that fits that
[03:31] <seamus7> SilentDis: how do I know if a program was installed in /home and not / .... what does autoclean do exactly and /var/cache/apt/archives?
[03:31] <bruenig> Shaffox, you should be able to
[03:32] <desres> gaiax11: try this: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[03:32] <bruenig> autoclean cleans out old debs
[03:32] <crosscut> iwlist scan from commandline works as well
[03:32] <dabaR> seamus7: all programs that you want to use and are not installed by default.
[03:32] <desres> crap
[03:32] <desres> gaiax11: not athat
[03:32] <Knurg> is there a way to spindown disks in a softraid5 array? disks are wd re. thanks
[03:32] <elpargo> SilentDis, the deb package at http://freshmeat.net/projects/glob2/ seems older then the one at ubuntu repo, which one you have?
[03:32] <crosscut> mdadm
[03:32] <desres> gaiaxx11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[03:32] <Knurg> crosscut: mdadm lets me do that?
[03:32] <crosscut> yes
[03:33] <dabaR> seamus7: no programs are installed in /home, unless you compile them.
[03:33] <seamus7> dabaR: all programs that I installed (not default) would logically be unaffected by a reinstall of the file system / ?
[03:33] <dabaR> Nope
[03:33] <SilentDis> seamus7, the full command, sans quotes, is 'sudo aptitude autoclean'.  that'll clear out any duplicate packages on your machine.  /var/cache/apt/archives is where the debian packages get cached to for your installed apps on your machine (that includes updates and apps you pulled from the repos)
[03:33] <Knurg> crosscut: thanks. i'll check its documentation! nice
[03:33] <SilentDis> elpargo, checking now...
[03:33] <crosscut> mdadm --detail /dev/md0 (shows info on that software raid)
[03:33] <crosscut> man mdadm will show how to spin down raid members
[03:33] <Knurg> crosscut: cool. tnx
[03:33] <mikefosh> Ok, so I feel like a newb for asking this, but I have completely forgotten.  How would I change permissions on a file or folder?
[03:33] <seamus7> SilentDis: so /var/cache/apt/archives would be useful as a list of programs I would need to reinstall?
[03:34] <Shaffox> bruenig: what group should i use ? i want it to be the only user
[03:34] <bruenig> autoclean clears out old debs not just duplicate. If you are expecting that the command will kindly remove stuff you don't need for a reinstall and leave the rest, you are wrong
[03:34] <rukuartic> mikefosh: Thats a fine question to ask.
[03:34] <MacLinuxMaster> seamus7: If it depends of some lib resident in /lib or usr/lib, yes
[03:34] <gyaresu> mikefosh: chmod
[03:34] <rukuartic> mikefosh: From a terminal, you'd use chmod. From a GUI though, you should be able to right click files and edit them yourself.
[03:34] <dabaR> seamus7: no, it holds the actual _packages_ that you could reinstall. sudo dpkg -l gives a list of installed packages.
[03:34] <Jrabbit> nope :(
[03:34] <bruenig> Shaffox, I am not too familiar with it. I added another user once just to see if I could and that is the extent of my experience
[03:34] <dewey> good day mates
[03:34] <crosscut> KNETWORKMANAGER can't "enable wireless" but network-manager in GNOME shows wireless networks and iwlist works from command line, any ides??
[03:34] <crosscut> ideas
[03:35] <SilentDis> seamus7, it's the actual .deb packages themselves.  it's one area i highly recommend backing up period, as it'll make the reinstall a LOT easier.  also, you can 'poke through' to see what apps you have installed (the package names, at least) now, and make note of 'em :)
[03:35] <bruenig> decapitalize knetworkmanager
[03:35] <MacLinuxMaster> seamus7: What application for example ? Some that you had compiled ?
[03:35] <seamus7> SilentDis: oh wow! that's really useful. I had no idea.
[03:35] <rukuartic> mikefosh: if you're using XYZ format, X is for owner, Y is for group, and Z is for everyone else. 4 stands for Read, 2 stands for write, and 1 stands for execute. Add them together for the desired effect. EG: 7 is rwx, while 6 is rw.
[03:35] <dewey> hmmm mplayer will not play some files and I think I need some other file players or codecs?

[03:36] <rukuartic> I got three people hooked on ubuntu this week! Awesomeness.
[03:36] <mikefosh> rukuartic: Yea, well I used to be pretty advanced at this stuff, but I broke my computer and had no money to repair it for over 3 years.
[03:36] <belathor> Hi, can anyone tell me what command I can tell grub to do to allow me to boot my Ubuntu partition (ie. something like /boot/vmlinuz). I installed PCLinuxOS on another partition and it created a new grub that didn't add ubuntu to the list. Thanks.
[03:36] <elpargo> SilentDis, ahh then that's the same as ubuntu :) thanks I'll go play now
[03:36] <seamus7> MacLinuxMaster: I'm just trying to save myself some trouble before I do a reinstall of /
[03:36] <crweb> if i make a package that needs to inject a line into /etc/profile, and remove the line at uninstall, what is the best solution (i'm building a deb)
[03:36] <SilentDis> seamus7, don't forget to clean it out first, as you've probably got a few 'extra' copies sitting around.  I'd also recommend backing up your /etc/apt/sources.list file, so you can just drop it back in on the new machine (no need to redo your package list setups that way)
[03:37] <rukuartic> crweb: Try looking up info on "tee"
[03:37] <bruenig> sed
[03:37] <SilentDis> elpargo, nt, have fun, say goodbye to your evening! lol
[03:37] <seamus7> SilentDis: okay good idea thanks
[03:37] <Jrabbit> Help with GDM?
[03:37] <mikefosh> rukuartic: I burned 15 cd's for my friends this past weekend.
[03:37] <crweb> rukuartic: ok, thank you
[03:37] <dabaR> belathor: mount the ubuntu partition, look at its grub menu, copy the Ubuntu grub entry into the PCLinuxOS grub menu file, and restart.
[03:37] <Jrabbit> Or X server config?
[03:37] <bruenig> for remove at least sed s/whatever//
[03:37] <rukuartic> crweb: or you could try: echo "Your line here" >> file-to-append
[03:37] <mindstate> hey, anyone know how i could get firefox to automatically load .torrent files in uTorrent in wine?
[03:37] <greg> why..?
[03:37] <Jrabbit> ++
[03:37] <rukuartic> crweb: and then: grep -v "your line exactly" > file-to-rewrite
[03:37] <crweb> rukuartic: right, but that won't make uninstalling or re-installing clean
[03:37] <dabaR> crweb: also you can maybe ask on #ubuntu-motu
[03:37] <rukuartic> crweb: but I'm sure thats very very insecure.
[03:38] <bruenig> mindstate, what I do is set utorrent to automatically load torrents from a specific directory and then have firefox automatically save torrent files to that specific directory
[03:38] <SilentDis> seamus7, other settings files i'd personally backup include /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:38] <Voria1> argh
[03:38] <mindstate> bruenig: could you elaborate a bit?
[03:38] <crosscut> use ted for downloading torrents, you'll love it
[03:38] <quaal> ok so fluxbox has somehow made gnome boot to a blank screen
[03:38] <quaal> how do i fix this ?
[03:38] <SilentDis> seamus7, that's your xorg configuration.  once you have your vid drivers installed again, just drop that file in, and xorg is working right :)
[03:38] <MacLinuxMaster> seamus7: If you have a lot of compiled apps, yes, because they need of some libraries that don't are the same when it was compiled, this frequently occur
[03:38] <crosscut> then use ktorrent to scan that directory
[03:38] <quaal> what files do fluxbox and gnome share ?
[03:38] <tim167> SilentDis: great tip (devede), looks like exactly what i need, going to test drive it tomorrow, thanks!

[03:39] <dabaR> quaal: try creaqting a new user, and see whether it happens for that user as well.

[03:39] <SilentDis> tim167, you might wanna take a look at liferea, a feed reader.  has gnomefiles.org feed in it's list by default.  RSS feeds have NEVER been easier to keep up on than with that thing.  you see a LOT of neat stuff out there with it :)
[03:39] <rukuartic> quaal: "adduser"
[03:39] <dabaR> quaal: sudo adduser userName

[03:40] <quaal> thanks
[03:40] <blanky> I'm having grub problems, I'm getting Error 11: unrecognized device string when trying to load windows through grub, ubuntu works just fine though
[03:40] <rukuartic> toM|vendettA: Ok. Here's a simple bash script
[03:40] <blanky> someone please?
[03:40] <bruenig> mindstate, set firefox to automatically save torrents to that directory
[03:40] <meisam> sorry how can i restart one application in ubuntu forexample after installing new plugings for eclipse i need to restart it, how?
[03:40] <joel> wendylady, do you mean skydomes?
[03:40] <SilentDis> wendylady, I haven't worked with that much personally... I'd almost recommend hitting the #beryl channel too, probably get a LOT more help, with less chatroom scrolling ;)
[03:40] <rukuartic> toM|vendettA: echo "wine ~/dp.exe +connect 127.0.0.1 +password $1" > dpconnect; chmod +x dpconnect"
[03:40] <mindstate> bruenig: ok ill try that
[03:40] <wendylady> yes,
[03:40] <bruenig> meisam, close it, then launch it again
[03:41] <meisam> bruenig thats all/
[03:41] <dabaR> blanky: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6043/
[03:41] <meisam> ?
[03:41] <Voria1> hey everybody, i jst installed 6.06 and my sources.list is out of date
[03:41] <toM|vendettA> alright thanks rukuartic
[03:41] <crweb> rukuartic: the grep -v doesn't seem to work
[03:41] <bruenig> meisam, yeah...
[03:41] <blanky> thanks dabaR
[03:41] <rukuartic> toM|vendettA: Now what you could do is chown it to root, and move it into /usr/local/bin
[03:41] <crosscut> bruenig, ah, thanks
[03:41] <wendylady> k Ill look there then
[03:41] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Take a look in /boot/grub/menu.lst in your root device
[03:41] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: trust me I did haha
[03:41] <elpargo> SilentDis, it's very laggy even when not in fullscreen
[03:41] <rukuartic> toM|vendettA: but until them you'll need to type "./dpconnect password" to run the script
[03:41] <toM|vendettA> okay thanks rukuartic
[03:41] <joel> wendylady, Desktop/Desktop Cube/Skydome
[03:42] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Try looking in /boot/grub/device.map also
[03:42] <dabaR> blanky: is windows on the first partition of the first hard disk?
[03:42] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: just was
[03:42] <SilentDis> elpargo, it does base on OpenGL, you need to have your vid drivers setup right
[03:42] <blanky> dabaR: true, (hd0, 0)
[03:42] <blanky> dabaR: hda1
[03:42] <rukuartic> crweb: Hurm?
[03:42] <quaal> hmm
[03:42] <rukuartic> toM|vendettA: You wouldn't happen to be doing anything illegal with dp.exe would you?
[03:42] <blanky> dabaR and MacLinuxMaster thing is it works for ubuntu just fine, I can go into ubuntu
[03:42] <quaal> yea testuser logged in to gnome fine
[03:42] <elpargo> SilenceGold, yea I turned on opengl and the game went blank I'm currently using the ati radeon driver.
[03:42] <headphase> can someone help me install a video card?
[03:42] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Try parted /dev/hda and press 'p' to see your partition table
[03:42] <toM|vendettA> rukuartic, dp.exe is short for digitalpaintball2.exe :)
[03:42] <quaal> what does that mean.. flluxbox did something to my user settings
[03:42] <bruenig> !nv | headphase
[03:42] <ubotu> headphase: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:42] <crweb> rukuartic: grep -v "mytext" > testfile   just sits
[03:43] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: I understand
[03:43] <toM|vendettA> only a video game rukuartic :) www.digitalpaint.org
[03:43] <meisam> bruenig reestarting eclipse with clean-option ...what does this mean?
[03:43] <SilentDis> !envy | headphase
[03:43] <ubotu> headphase: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[03:43] <dabaR> crweb: are you trying to append to a file?
[03:43] <rukuartic> toM|vendettA: Aha! I looked up dp.exe on google and it was a worm
[03:43] <tim167> SilentDis: i'm using fluxbox lately, does that matter for gnomefiles ?. anyway, going to get some sleep now (3:41 here) i'll check liferea tmorrow. (bookmarked http://liferea.sourceforge.net/ ) .. gn8 :) !
[03:43] <crweb> dabaR: un append
[03:43] <headphase> ubotu: I have Intel 945
[03:43] <rukuartic> crweb: Like I said, that was probably insecure/unsafe ;P
[03:43] <bruenig> meisam, that sounds eclipse specific, not applications in general. As I do not nor have I used eclipse, I don't know. Maybe something like "eclipse -clean" do "man clean" to see if there is an option like that perhaps
[03:43] <SilentDis> tim167, nn :)
[03:43] <tieTYT2> hi
[03:43] <quaal> dabaR, testuser logged in fine.. so apparently fluxbox has done something to my user settings here. any idea which files i should check?
[03:44] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: it's actually /dev/sda
[03:44] <crweb> dabaR: i'm attempting to write a uninstall script to remove a line that may or may not have been the last appended line
[03:44] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: my device.map is (hd0) /dev/sda
[03:44] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: ok
[03:44] <bruenig> meisam, I meant do "man eclipse"
[03:44] <elpargo> quaal, what's wrong?
[03:44] <bruenig> not man clean
[03:44] <rukuartic> crweb: cat testfile | grep -v "mytext" > newfile; rm testfile;  mv newfile testfile
[03:44] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: I'm using a SATA drive
[03:44] <kondor> my first night on ubuntu (or any linux) and hello freedom.  is this the place for noobs like me?
[03:44] <dabaR> quaal: try mv .gnome .gnome_old, then log in again. Do you get an error message at all?
[03:44] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: I'm confused cause my ubuntu works just fine
[03:44] <quaal> elpargo, i logged into fluxbox, and now when i log into gnome with my normal userr account it just brings up a blank screen
[03:44] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: And the ubuntu partition ?
[03:44] <quaal> dabaR, no error message. just a blank screen
[03:44] <quaal> dabaR, blank screen just like fluxbox
[03:44] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: no I meant that's the drive I'm using, sda, ubuntu partition is sda2
[03:44] <aZu> can someone help me?
[03:44] <bruenig> crweb, just do sed -i s/string//
[03:45] <SilentDis> offtopic help request of the day:  help me make my gastro-intestinal problems stop O.o
[03:45] <quaal> dabaR, so its like it wrote fluxbox's settings to gnome's settings
[03:45] <aZu> i need to install xournal
[03:45] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: would you liek to ssh in?
[03:45] <elpargo> quaal, try the .back dabaR suggested
[03:45] <quaal> elpargo, ok
[03:45] <aZu> but it keeps throwing me an arg count error
[03:45] <spuddogg_> desres, you still here?
[03:45] <rukuartic> SilentDis: Tum tum tum tum TUMM!
[03:45] <belathor> thanks dabaR, I think that'll do it.
[03:45] <meisam> bruenig thx man
[03:45] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Its possible to help from here
[03:45] <blanky> thanks for the help so far MacLinuxMaster I appreciate it
[03:45] <desres> spuddogg_: yes
[03:45] <aZu> anyone?
[03:45] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: so, want me to paste my device.map and my menu.lst ?
[03:45] <bruenig> or 's/string//'
[03:46] <bruenig> with the quotes probably better
[03:46] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Please, this will be helpful
[03:46] <elpargo> SilentDis, did you miss my last line? I have the radeon driver working fine even had beryl working.
[03:46] <aZu> hello?
[03:46] <spuddogg_> desres, any luck with your drivers, etc?
[03:46] <SilentDis> rukuartic, chewing chalk is not my idea of fun... nor is drinking pink vomit... but I just might have to :P
[03:46] <tieTYT2> when i start ubuntu the screen looks all messed up like it's running at the wrong frequency.  This happens to me with fedora too.  I fixed it in fedora by running nvidia drivers.  The problem with ubuntu though is that to install the drivers X can not be running and I can't figure out how to get it to turn it off.  Can anyone help me?
[03:46] <crweb> bruenig: nice
[03:46] <quaal> dabaR, bash: cd: .gnome_old: No such file or directory
[03:46] <desres> spuddogg_: i found the driver, and i am working on using it with ndiswrapper
[03:46] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: So your windows partition is in hda1, right ? This is what parted reports ?
[03:46] <dabaR> aZu: how did you install it, how are you trying to uninstall it?
[03:47] <aZu> thank you
[03:47] <aZu> um
[03:47] <spuddogg_> desres, private
[03:47] <SilentDis> elpargo, I must have, sorry.  having a bit of... mmm... personal problems here *blush*.  there's a bar at the top right.  does it stay totally red and really long all the time?
[03:47] <dabaR> quaal: I said, mv .gnome .gnome_old
[03:47] <rukuartic> tieTYT2: To stop Xorg, press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal. Then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop the gui
[03:47] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: no no no, I'm using sda drive not hda, my windows is sda1, and linux is sda2, in grub terms, hda1 and hda2, yeah
[03:47] <blanky> I mean, hd0, 0, and hd0, 1
[03:47] <tieTYT2> rukuartic: awesome thanks
[03:47] <rukuartic> tieTYT2: To start it again, type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" -- You should be redirected to the gui
[03:47] <aZu> i'm using the command tar -xvzf xournal-0.3.2.tar.gz
[03:47] <aZu> cd xournal-0.3.2/
[03:47] <aZu> sudo ./install-binary
[03:47] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: I used to think previously you had reported hda1, sorry
[03:47] <rukuartic> tieTYT2: If you're not, ctrl+alt+f7 will take you to the gui. (ctrl+alt+f1 - f6 are terminals)
[03:47] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: it's okay let me clarify once more just in case
[03:47] <quaal> dabaR, sorry
[03:48] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: You pasted ?
[03:48] <elpargo> SilentDis, you mean in glob?
[03:48] <tieTYT2> rukuartic: : one more question: when I try to run the drivers it says i'm missing a whole bunch of things like ld, gcc, libc headers, etc...  Is there any way to install all these at once (without using the gui)?
[03:48] <aZu> but it keeps throwing me an arg count everytime i attempt at installing
[03:48] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: contrary to the norm, my drive is /dev/sda not /dev/hda, my windows is sda1, linux is sda2, in grub it's (hd0, 0) for windows, (hd0, 1) for linux
[03:48] <SilentDis> elpargo, yes
[03:48] <tieTYT2> rukuartic: ok thanks
[03:48] <dabaR> tieTYT2: build-essential
[03:48] <bruenig> tieTYT2, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:48] <rukuartic> tieTYT2: Yes, I think all those are part of "build-essential"
[03:48] <tieTYT2> great thanks a lot, i'm gonna try it out
[03:48] <rukuartic> tieTYT2: see bruenig's command.
[03:48] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: I'm actually helping my friend through the phone, he's new to linux and I'm helping him with this, and you're helping me, hahaha, anyways, he's pasting hold on
[03:48] <tieTYT2> bye bye
[03:48] <elpargo> SilentDis, it starts at the middle all the way to the right
[03:48] <rukuartic> tieTYT2: The terminal's a powerful thing, learn to use it :D
[03:49] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: ok
[03:49] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: here's device.map ( http://paste.jorgepena.be/165 ) and menu.lst ( http://paste.jorgepena.be/164 )
[03:49] <aZu> dabaR: do you know what the error means?
[03:49] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: the problem may be in your device.map
[03:49] <dabaR> aZu: this program throws an error when you try installing? Paste that install file, and the readme from the dir to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[03:49] <dabaR> aZu: ya, it means you did not read the readme
[03:49] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: really? how?
[03:49] <SilentDis> elpargo, if it's red, then it's affecting gameplay.  let me see if their wiki is up... there was a setting i changed and it made it a LOT better... just can't remember what it was lol
[03:49] <bruenig> aZu, link to the package
[03:50] <dabaR> awww, a cookiel!!1one, I am so happy ;-P
[03:50] <aZu> oh
[03:50] <bruenig> ha I would have gone with !eleven myself
[03:50] <spuddogg_> desres, ive been trying to private message you
[03:50] <dabaR> nice.
[03:50] <lullabud> quick question...
[03:50] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: what can I do, and yeah I think it's in the device.map file cause that's what it says in the grub docs ( http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Stage2-errors.html )
[03:50] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Wait, I will came back
[03:50] <lullabud> is there a way to automatically detect and configure xorg after you swap out video cards?
[03:50] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: please do I'm desperate :(
[03:50] <elpargo> SilentDis, I try several of their URLs not sure if it's their site or my DNS
[03:51] <aZu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6045/plain/
[03:51] <bruenig> !xconfig | lullabud
[03:51] <desres> spuddogg_:  the ndiswrapper wiki is asking me to do something in terminal and terminal is still showing me "ubuntu@ubuntu:~/ndiswrapper-1.35$" as the header. how do i get back to the regular "ubuntu@ubuntu" one?
[03:51] <ubotu> lullabud: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[03:51] <lullabud> i tried dexconf but that didn't work
[03:51] <SilentDis> elpargo, i'm having trouble with their site too.  brb though... apparently pizza dinner isn't too happy with me :P
[03:51] <spuddogg_> desres, 'cd ~'
[03:51] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: what is the error ?
[03:51] <dabaR> aZu: I need the readme file, please.
[03:51] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: only to confirm
[03:51] <aZu> there is no readme file
[03:51] <aZu> only a manual
[03:51] <dabaR> spuddogg_: cd is a shorter way to say the same.
[03:51] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: Error 11 : Unrecognized device string ( http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Stage2-errors.html )
[03:51] <bruenig> aZu, if you would link to the package, I can take a look...
[03:51] <aZu> oh wait
[03:51] <aZu> nm
[03:51] <elpargo> SilentDis, hehe ok let me see if it's a problem with my drivers
[03:52] <desres> spuddogg_: okay can you help me with this: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation
[03:52] <spuddogg_> dabaR, lol, i did not know that
[03:52] <tom__> Hey, anyone know how to stop xchat performing a /list on connecting to a server? It just died trying to connect to Quakenet, lol.
[03:52] <aZu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6046/
[03:52] <desres> spuddogg_: i havent seen any private messages.........
[03:52] <dabaR> aZu: show us the INSTALL file, please.
[03:53] <lullabud> bruenig:  oh yeah, duh.  i swear, you get out of the loop for 2 months and you're out.  thanks
[03:53] <flammenwurfer> Will upgrading to a newer kernel screw up my nvidia driver?
[03:53] <aZu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047/
[03:53] <deimos_> How do I restart Gnome within the Live CD?  (/etc/init.d/gdm restart fails)
[03:53] <bruenig> flammenwurfer, could
[03:53] <aZu> sorry
[03:53] <aZu> :/
[03:53] <spuddogg_> desres, you shouldn't have to do all of that...you should just be able to run 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils'
[03:53] <aZu> don't yell at me please
[03:53] <aZu> i'm still new at this
[03:53] <aZu> :(
[03:53] <bruenig> aZu, link to the website where you downloaded it
[03:54] <aZu> http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=xournal&filename=xournal-0.3.2.tar.gz&use_mirror=internap
[03:54] <flammenwurfer> how can I tell if it will?
[03:54] <desres> okay, so its set up now........?
[03:54] <aZu> wait
[03:54] <sigger> Anyone think I'll have a problem if I change cupsys from UID 105 to something else (e.g. 109) and also do a find that replaces all 105 UIDs with 109?
[03:54] <aZu> not that link
[03:54] <desres> spuddogg_: what did that do?
[03:54] <aZu> http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xournal/xournal-0.3.3.tar.gz
[03:54] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: you still with me buddy?
[03:54] <bimberi> tom__: one way is to set a channel to autojoin to
[03:54] <spuddogg_> desres, that installed ndiswrapper
[03:54] <desres> spuddogg_: is it installed now?
[03:55] <ardchoille> aZu: He wasn't yelling :) tarball typically have README, COPYING and INSTALL files with upper case lettering in their filenames :)
[03:55] <spuddogg_> desres, yes
[03:55] <dabaR> aZu: ya, no worries... try following the Installation in $HOME part of the INSTALL file.
[03:55] <desres> spuddogg_: so where do i find it?
[03:55] <spuddogg_> desres, now run 'sudo apt-get install ndisgtk'
[03:55] <tom__> That's good to know, bimberi, thank you.
[03:55] <dabaR> aZu: the file is really called install.upcase
[03:55] <aZu> oh
[03:55] <daniel_bergamini> alright I'm running a nforce 590 SLI based board (ASUS P5n32-SLI Preium WIFI) and both the forcedeth and wifi (rtl8187 or something) but neither of them actually can communicate on the network. I know the drivers are loading properly because the proper MAC addresses show...
[03:55] <bimberi> tom__: yw :)
[03:55] <tom__> Be nice if there was a way to stop it though, I don't always have a channel to autojoin :(
[03:55] <bruenig> aZu, so you did sudo ./install-binary
[03:55] <aZu> yes
[03:55] <spuddogg_> desres, let me know when that is done
[03:55] <meisam> hi guys, im sorry if im off topic but i need some help regarding eclipse...im trying to install the sql explorer plugin for it, as it said http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/ im trying to do so, im supposed to put the unzipped files in eclipse directory...but it does not work, please help me
[03:56] <bruenig> aZu, and it said?

[03:56] <spuddogg_> desres, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:56] <bruenig> aZu, yeah it did that here too. There must be a flaw in the script
[03:57] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: In windows section you have a blank space after the comma
[03:57] <Bayu> hello , i run createdb in postgresql database, why doesn't works
[03:57] <aZu> :/
[03:57] <dabaR> deimos_: how about sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart?
[03:57] <sigger> daniel_bergamini: what are you doing to bring them up?
[03:57] <aZu> so do i need to compile from source?
[03:57] <dabaR> Bayu: createdb is a shell command.
[03:57] <deimos_> dabR, I'll give it a shot
[03:57] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: In the root section

[03:58] <bruenig> aZu, that is essentially what you are doing, the install script is flawed though. It is not really anything you can do. I am looking at it to see if I can figure it out. I am not the greatest in complex bash scripts although this one looks rather simple

[03:58] <Bayu> why???
[03:58] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: No problems, I like to know this may be useful
[03:58] <meisam> blanky: can i ask u q question?
[03:58] <dabaR> mjg: wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:59] <spuddogg_> desres, ok, thats "Dapper Drake".  You need to go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.  A window will come up, with a settings menu.  in the settings menu select "Repositories" and select all of them
[03:59] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: THANKS MAN IT WORKED :') my friend's happy now haha, he's new to linux and loving it
[03:59] <blanky> anyways, later guys, thanks again
[03:59] <blanky> meisam: what's up
[03:59] <nn-laptop> i use tifm-sd for my laptops card reader. why does the light onily show when the card is writtng shoulsent it be stady all the time
[03:59] <meisam> blanky: im supposed to put the unzipped file of sqlexplorer in eclipse directory, where is exactly eclipse directory dude?
[03:59] <benlake> anyone know of an ncurses based user admin tool?
[03:59] <dabaR> Bayu: post the error, command you run, and the output of 'ps aux |grep sql' to paste.ubuntu-nl.org, please.
[03:59] <blanky> meisam: maybe ~/.eclipse or something
[04:00] <sigger> wow, not only does noone reply to my questions, I just offered help and I get no reply.  :)
[04:00] <nn-laptop> y that would be nice
[04:00] <spuddogg_> desres, talk to me where you told me "ehh, all that background noise was annoying"
[04:00] <blanky> meisam: sorry man :( I think it's in your home directory, go to home directory, and press CTRL+H (if in gnome) to view hidden directories, then look for a folder called .eclipse or something (with a period at the front)
[04:00] <nn-laptop> if there was a ncurses admin
[04:00] <dabaR> Shaffox: .mozilla/firefox or something, maybe
[04:00] <nn-laptop> is there
[04:00] <SilentDis> elpargo, my apologies, i'm back :P
[04:00] <nn-laptop> ??
[04:01] <whonicca> how do u format an ipod on linux?
[04:01] <benlake> nn-laptop: easy on the enter key :)
[04:01] <MacLinuxMaster> blanky: Now I go sleep, any problem email me rovarella@gmail.com
[04:01] <HymnToLife> whonicca, the same way you format anything else
[04:01] <blanky> thanks MacLinuxMaster :)
[04:01] <benlake> whonicca: you google'd that right?
[04:01] <blanky> MacLinuxMaster: good night
[04:01] <SilentDis> !ipod | whonicca
[04:01] <ubotu> whonicca: 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
[04:01] <whonicca> yes
[04:01] <boredandblogging> meisam, do a 'locate elclipse'
[04:01] <nn-laptop> *** links isnt what you call the best for web admin
[04:01] <meisam> blanky yes man it is in there, but and i did it but it dos not work, i mean i put the sqlexplorer in there but it did not add to my eclipse

[04:01] <kondor2> in guarddog, i need superuser priv's,  so how do i do that bit?

[04:01] <ubotu> rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for MP3 players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio.  See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started!
[04:02] <elpargo> SilentDis, np I'm starting to think my driver is not set right, is the "radeon" one the default?
[04:02] <blanky> meisam: where'd you put it, I dont think it goes directly in .eclipse, maybe .eclipse/plugins or something like that
[04:02] <dabaR> meisam: you need to add to the plugins, yes.
[04:02] <benlake> SilentDis: um, thanks :)
[04:02] <Shaffox> dabaR, yeah, and what can i do with that ?
[04:02] <SilentDis> elpargo, not sure, it's been a while since I ran ATI.  I found their drivers lacking bigtime for linux in general, and upgraded to an nvidia card
[04:02] <meisam> dabaR yes but how? im trying to do so
[04:02] <dabaR> Shaffox: is there anything bookmarks in there?
[04:02] <deimos_>  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart fails, is there any other ways to restart the xserver/gnome in a Live session?
[04:02] <meisam> it does not add
[04:03] <dabaR> meisam: what is the name of the plugin again?
[04:03] <elpargo> SilentDis, yea.... but I'm stuck on a laptop
[04:03] <Shaffox> dabaR, yes
[04:03] <meisam> sql explorer
[04:03] <SilentDis> benlake, sorry, i can't remember the right ! tip for it.  basically, I was looking to say:  please don't refer people to google.  More than likely, they have been, and either didn't know how to narrow down the search terms, or had problems, that's why they're here :)
[04:03] <whonicca> ok read that link, still doesnt say how to format an ipod on linux
[04:03] <meisam> dabaR sql explorer
[04:03] <whonicca> and yes i been looking through google
[04:03] <Gnimsh> hi everyone
[04:03] <whonicca> dont really want to boot into windows just to use itunes to format =\
[04:04] <Gnimsh> I've got a funny little problem
[04:04] <ardchoille> SilentDis: Is it !rtfm maybe?
[04:04] <SilentDis> elpargo, i'm in the same boat on that one.  I'd still recommend hitting !envy to make SURE it's setup right.  he just added ATI support, and it works flawlessly every single time for vid driver setup :)

[04:04] <SilentDis> ardchoille, you're probably right :)
[04:04] <nf4> i wish i had a ipod not so i can listen to mp3 on the go so i can learn how to use linux ipod software
[04:05] <nf4> ;)
[04:05] <bruenig> nf4, i doubt it is too difficult
[04:05] <elpargo> !envi
[04:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:05] <whonicca> id change my ipod up but then it would render it useless to my cars headunit
[04:05] <SilentDis> ardchoille, nope, that's not it either lol.  gonna go pick ubotu's brain for it ;)
[04:05] <Gnimsh> I tried making some keyboard shortuts with the keyboard shortut menu (these ones for sound/audio player) and it made my letter keys not work...
[04:05] <elpargo> !envy :p
[04:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy :p - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:05] <Gnimsh> the letter "see" doesn't work still, but the others are bak
[04:05] <dabaR> Shaffox: search google, and ubuntu forums, and let me know if you can not find it.
[04:05] <whonicca> i barely ever see my ipod, usually in my glove box attached to the head units ipod adapter

[04:06] <dabaR> meisam: click help>update, or something similar.
[04:06] <dabaR> meisam: in eclipse.
[04:06] <Dragonlord> dabaR: doing it
[04:06] <fiveiron> what is the command you need to run after changing /etc/exports?
[04:06] <spuddogg_> desres, can you see what im typing in the other window?
[04:06] <elpargo> SilentDis, but that will get me to the closed drivers
[04:07] <dabaR> fiveiron: I do not have a /etc/exports
[04:07] <fiveiron> dabaR, well you would if you ran an nfs server
[04:07] <dabaR> fiveiron: restart nfs?
[04:07] <SilentDis> elpargo, yes, it does.  and unfortunatly, that's the best bet for full opengl support.  I had an ATI card when I first started with Ubuntu, and in both cases (ATI and Nvidia) I found the FOSS drivers sorely lacking at this time.
[04:07] <desres> spuddogg_: no, i cant
[04:07] <mikefosh> Anyone watch Grey's Anatomy?
[04:07] <fiveiron> guess i could try that

[04:07] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:08] <dabaR> Dragonlord: who are you?
[04:08] <fiveiron> good call
[04:08] <foo> I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-c3f28515df1775ec5e62e78fd6c0f8f54e5f9302 for dapper ... and I still have this: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect. lsmod|grep fglrx shows it is loaded... it's specified in the device section in xorg... doesn't make any sense. Any ideas?
[04:08] <ardchoille> SpudDogg: You weren't id'd to nickserv, that's why desres couldn't see your typing
[04:08] <fiveiron> i'm retarded
[04:08] <nf4> is there a disavantage to using xscreensaver vrs gnome screen saver
[04:08] <dabaR> fiveiron: it happens to everyone.
[04:08] <SpudDogg> ardchoille, i know...i am now though

[04:09] <elpargo> SilentDis, yea but that means I need to switch over to xgl from aiglx which sucks
[04:09] <foo> SilentDis: oh, nice.
[04:09] <bruenig> aZu, yeah you can use the autogen script to compile or you can try at least
[04:10] <SilentDis> elpargo, ahhh.  good point.  I didn't notice a difference when I went Nvidia... that very well may be the case under ATI.  sorry :(
[04:10] <dabaR> meisam: still there?
[04:10] <meisam> dabaR yes
[04:10] <sebanio> hallo?? jemand da??
[04:10] <dabaR> !de > sebanio
[04:10] <meisam> dabaR :( not successful
[04:10] <SilentDis> foo, envy has saved my butt so many times, i've lost count.  it just plain WORKS. :)
[04:10] <dabaR> meisam: so did you hit help, then update?
[04:11] <SilentDis> yay netsplit!
[04:11] <sebanio> Ich hab seit heute ubunto als erste linux dis ueberhaupt drauf und finde krampfhaft was nicht..

[04:11] <meisam> :(
[04:11] <dabaR> meisam: OK, in there, you have to add a remote site.
[04:11] <foo> SilentDis: wow, sounds too good to be true.
[04:11] <foo> I'll believe it when it works for me :)
[04:11] <SilentDis> !de | sebanio
[04:11] <dabaR> http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/ is the site URL, you can name it whatever.
[04:11] <meisam> dabaR can i? how?
[04:11] <meisam> aha
[04:11] <dabaR> meisam: there is a button.
[04:11] <meisam> ok
[04:12] <SilentDis> foo, the only 'problem' with it is you MUST REMEMBER to hit a true term window, rather than remaining in X.  it kills X when you run it.
[04:12] <meisam> dabaR let me try let u know
[04:12] <dabaR> After that, hit look for updates, and select the eclipsesql one when it shows up(check its box), then install.
[04:12] <sebanio> wer kann mir mal kurz erklaeren, wie in in den system monitor reinkomme, muss das softwareaktualisierungsding killen, das hat sich aufgehaengt..
[04:12] <foo> SilentDis: hmm, what do you mean "true term window" ?
[04:12] <SilentDis> foo, ctrl-alt-F1 :)
[04:12] <dabaR> sebanio: typen /j #ubuntu-de
[04:12] <foo> SilentDis: oh, wow, ok, thanks.. I wouldn't have known
[04:12] <dabaR> or something:)
[04:13] <quaal> dabaR, i moved the gnome config to gnome_old
[04:13] <dabaR> quaal: and?
[04:13] <quaal> same thing, blank screen on login
[04:13] <SilentDis> foo, it's in his instructions for it... but very easily overlooked :)
[04:13] <CaptainMorgan> anyone familiar with gtk+? Im trying to run a simply window based helloworld .c program and the header gtk/gtk.h cannot be found, I have installed libgtk2.0-dev and other similar files and can't compile the porgram
[04:13] <foo> hehe
[04:13] <dabaR> quaal: you used the mv .gnome .gnome_old command?
[04:13] <quaal> dabaR, correct
[04:13] <sebanio> alright, I see...I thought I was in the german group ;) sorry bout that now ;)
[04:13] <dabaR> CaptainMorgan: did you include gtk?
[04:14] <quaal> ls: .gnome: No such file or directory
[04:14] <quaal> ls .gnome_old
[04:14] <quaal> application-info  gnome-vfs  mime-info
[04:14] <CaptainMorgan> of course
[04:14] <SilentDis> !enter | quaal
[04:14] <ubotu> quaal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:14] <dabaR> CaptainMorgan: well, maybe it is libgtk-dev.
[04:15] <quaal> SilenceGold, chill out.
[04:15] <dabaR> libgtk1.2-dev, to be more precise.
[04:15] <dabaR> SilentDis: you have to use paste.ubuntu-nl to paste:)
[04:15] <dabaR> SilentDis: sorry.
[04:15] <dabaR> quaal: you have to use paste.ubuntu-nl to paste:)
[04:15] <dabaR> paste.ubuntu-nl.org,. that is.
[04:15] <SilentDis> dabaR, nt, i knew what you meant :)
[04:15] <linux_kid> Can a VirtualMachine the XP partition on my drive and still be able to dual boot it?
[04:16] <SilentDis> dabaR, there's also !pastebin for that one ;)
[04:16] <linux_kid> dabaR, look at the channel topic
[04:16] <noodles12> when installing ubuntu.. gparted only lets me install the partitions as primary and extended. is it ok to do /boot (primary),    /   (extended)    ,    /home (extended)   ??
[04:16] <HentaiSushi> woa
[04:16] <SilentDis> linux_kid, I have YET to find a VM manager that'll let me 'boot' an installed windows instance.  they pretty much all require a 'virtual disk'
[04:16] <HentaiSushi> i still have it set to auto connect here
[04:16] <noodles12> or should     /        be primary
[04:17] <HentaiSushi> i use extended
[04:17] <dabaR> HentaiSushi: this may come in handy: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/01/17/my-new-irc-client-irssi-ubuntu-606-610/
[04:17] <noodles12> SilenceDis: i've booted from my xp install using vmplayer
[04:17] <linux_kid> SilentDis, thats horrible, but at least i asked
[04:17] <HentaiSushi> that was random
[04:17] <linux_kid> noodles12, how
[04:17] <HentaiSushi> i didnt ask anything
[04:17] <HentaiSushi> @.@
[04:17] <dabaR> HentaiSushi: hm...especially if you use irssi:-/
[04:17] <quaal> dabaR, so any other ideas?
[04:17] <dabaR> quaal: I am thinking.
[04:17] <HentaiSushi> what the heck is that
[04:17] <HentaiSushi> ?
[04:18] <SilentDis> linux_kid, I agree.  I keep thinking of trying to learn C to see what I can do for qemu in that regard, but I'm far too lazy :P
[04:18] <quaal> dabaR, i'm assuming we were expecting it to write a new .gnome ?
[04:18] <noodles12> linux_kid: let me find the article, but the bad thing is XP ( if yours is legit) will say that you change dyour hardware and you need to activate again.
[04:18] <linux_kid> SilentDis, well, one more reason to learn C
[04:18] <nf4> gvamps seems to be a good gui
[04:18] <noodles12> is it ok to install     "    /     " as an extended partition?
[04:18] <SilentDis> linux_kid, I had enough problems wrapping my head around PHP at times, and that makes me money rofl
[04:18] <linux_kid> noodles12, i dont care if i need to activate agian, no big deal
[04:18] <bruenig> noodles12, yes, but not with so much space
[04:19] <dabaR> quaal: you can move the .gnome back. mv .gnome_old .gnome, I have to go pick up someone, then I may be back here. Good luck.
[04:19] <Frogzoo> SilentDis: the qemu code is really hard core
[04:19] <kandinski> I have been left x-less, can anyone please paste the download URL for the latest nvidia binary drivers that work with ubuntu edgy?
[04:19] <quaal> dabaR, thanks..
[04:19] <deep> Well, hi everyone. :)
[04:19] <noodles12> bruenig; i was planning to do /boot  = (primary) 100mb  ,   /   = extended 10 gb  ,   /home = extended   100 gb  i that alright? it won't let me do them as logical
[04:19] <SilentDis> Frogzoo, I had to assume it was.  it's truely an amazing bit of work :)
[04:19] <linux_kid> SilentDis, noodles12 is finding an artical on how to VM a dual booted O/S
[04:19] <HentaiSushi> kbai
[04:19] <bruenig> extended = logical
[04:20] <dabaR> quaal: when you log into gnome, does the fluxbox right click work?
[04:20] <bruenig> or extended is what you put the logical in
[04:20] <dabaR> !hi | deep
[04:20] <ubotu> deep: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:20] <noodles12> linux_kid; http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=71591&tstart=0

[04:21] <astroboy> "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" (intramfs)
[04:22] <seamus7> Hi all ... I'm currently on Edgy Eft but was wondering if I were to go back to Dapper Drake ... what might I notice for better or worse?
[04:22] <dabaR> seamus7: older apps.
[04:22] <noodles12> linux_kid: no prob
[04:22] <LordDabu> why would you downgrade?
[04:22] <astroboy> .. does this ring any bells ? At the moment I can't boot EdgyEft and use DyneBolic LiveCd to access files.
[04:22] <quaal> dabaR, no it doesnt
[04:22] <quaal> nothing works
[04:22] <dabaR> quaal: OK, just double checking:)
[04:23] <quaal> dabaR, it even does the blank thing on gnome failsafe
[04:23] <seamus7> LordDabu: well the Ubuntu forum has a sticky suggesting not to upgrade unless there's a specific reason one needs to since it's not supported in the long term as dapper is.
[04:23] <Frogzoo> seamus7: dapper's lappie suspend may break/gnome is slower + apps are previous releases
[04:23] <mon^rch> +whate the best way to serve up files on Ubuntu?
[04:23] <quaal> no startup screen with the icons
[04:23] <foo> hm, he left.
[04:23] <quaal> just plays the sound and a blank screen
[04:23] <Frogzoo> mon^rch: apache
[04:23] <Frogzoo> mon^rch: cancel that - bit torrent
[04:23] <minimec> quaal: so you started your fluxbox sessio
[04:24] <linux_user400354> help! my mic refuses to work anymore in ubuntu and all my settings appear to be correct
[04:24] <quaal> minimec, yes i did
[04:24] <quaal> i am currently using it
[04:24] <seamus7> Frogzoo: so the apps versions are frozen in dapper whereas in edgy they update the repositiories more frequently to the newer versions?
[04:24] <mon^rch> hmmm ty Frogzoo
[04:24] <quaal> minimec, its the only gui i can use atm
[04:24] <Frogzoo> seamus7: no, just the apps in edgy are more recent - obviously
[04:24] <quaal> it somehow damaged my gnome install
[04:24] <quaal> well
[04:24] <quaal> i added a testuser
[04:24] <quaal> and that worked for gnome
[04:24] <minimec> quaal: ok. with a right mouse click you should get a menu.
[04:24] <quaal> just my regular user account with all its settings, is all hosed
[04:25] <quaal> minimec, yes
[04:25] <quaal> in fluxbox
[04:25] <Frogzoo> seamus7: what would possess you to want to go back to dapper?
[04:25] <sethk> quaal, you can blast away your gnome state
[04:25] <sethk> quaal, if you don't mind losing your settings, and such
[04:25] <sethk> quaal, if it works for a new user, it's that user's state, not gnome itself
[04:25] <quaal> sethk, i already mv .gnome .gnome_old
[04:25] <quaal> and it didnt write a new .gnome
[04:25] <sethk> quaal, there's another directory, with a 2 in it
[04:25] <quaal> if thats what you mean ?
[04:25] <minimec> quaal: so you are able to start the apps you want...
[04:25] <sethk> quaal, .gnome2
[04:26] <varsendaggr> akk  i am trying to get gnumeric do do what i want....      i want to get a portion of one cell and a portion of another cell and print them in just one cell
[04:26] <quaal> hmm
[04:26] <sebanio> Hey lads, all the people in the german section are sound asleep maye ye could help me out?
[04:26] <sethk> quaal, plus .gnome2_private
[04:26] <ardchoille> seamus7: When an Ubuntu version is released, all apps are frozen. The only thing you get after release are bug fixes and security updates.
[04:26] <Frogzoo> sebanio: well we don't know what your problem is
[04:26] <LordDabu> i want a penis in my mouth
[04:26] <quaal> sethk, i do mind losing my settings
[04:26] <quaal> sethk, i'd like to save them
[04:26] <sebanio> I' explain frogzoo, just a sec ;)
[04:27] <Frogzoo> LordDabu: you'll get kicked for that, & I can't say as I'd mind
[04:27] <varsendaggr> LordDabu, be careful
[04:27] <LordDabu> hard and throbbing
[04:27] <ardchoille> !ops
[04:27] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[04:27] <seamus7> Frogzoo: It was more curiousity on my part ... I'm not going to go back to Dapper ... thanks
[04:27] <rukuartic> Oh its not that urgent ardchoille
[04:27] <Tode_I> Here's a weird one for y'all
[04:28] <ardchoille> rukuartic: I have an 8 year old watching this channel to learn about Ubuntu
[04:28] <sebanio> I just installed my first linux distri, ubunto in this case, and I can't find the system monitor anywhere, but I need to terminate a process
[04:28] <varsendaggr> LordDabu, is being sexually explicit
[04:28] <kondor2> this OS is very nice.  my first night with linux, went 100% first time.  I have watched "lost" and played sonic 3, what more can a man want.  thanks to thse that support it.
[04:28] <Frogzoo> varsendaggr: was
[04:28] <Tode_I> I enable remote desktop, installed ultravnc viewer on this box, logged in and played a bit of solitaire. No problems at all.
[04:28] <rukuartic> ardchoille: I'm not excusing him, I'm just saying a PM would be a little gentler rather than an !ops
[04:28] <seamus7> When I reinstall Edgy, might I expect to have problems with my boot loader? I'm dual booting with Windows XP for gaming purposes.
[04:28] <aZu> hello?
[04:28] <Tode_I> Then I installed a gigabit nic in the ubuntu box, enabled it, set the static ip and all, and checked the connection with Firefox, which works fine.
[04:28] <aZu> i'm trying to compile xournal from scratch
[04:29] <Tode_I> But, now I can't get into remote desktop.
[04:29] <hossasaur> hi
[04:29] <aZu> and i'm getting all sorts of errors
[04:29] <aZu> hi
[04:29] <Frogzoo> seamus7: if your / partition < 100meg, & you have only 1 hdd, you should be ok
[04:29] <hossasaur> i'm trying to edit my menu.lst in gedit
[04:29] <Tode_I> Any ideas?
[04:29] <hossasaur> it says it's read only
[04:29] <Frogzoo> hossasaur: gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:29] <hossasaur> i try to su -l, but it keeps denying my password
[04:29] <varsendaggr> kondor2, you should download streamtuner and stream ripper and listen to some cool internet radio
[04:29] <yell0w>  hey guys how do i set default media player to xmms ?
[04:29] <elpargo> how can I check which is the renderer for GL on ubuntu?
[04:29] <ardchoille> hossasaur: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:29] <meisam> dabaR there?
[04:30] <GigaClon> is there a good faq on make regular backups?
[04:30] <aZu> does anyone have any clues
[04:30] <rukuartic> GigaClon: Try looking up rsync backup tutorials on Google.
[04:30] <rukuartic> !rsync > GigaClon
[04:30] <mikedoty_text> Hi folk.  I'm trying to install an nvidia driver (I need a slightly older one, so I can't use envy) ... but, it says I need to compile a kernel to match.
[04:30] <yell0w>  hey guys how do i set default media player to xmms ?
[04:30] <mikedoty_text> How can I compile a matching kernel or whatnot?
[04:30] <hossasaur> ardchoille: thanks
[04:30] <hossasaur> Frogzoo: tahnks
[04:31] <rukuartic> mikedoty_text: As I remember, there was nvidia-glx-legacy in the repos... does that not work for you?
[04:31] <hossasaur> does the chainloader +1 have to go at the end?
[04:31] <seamus7> Frogzoo: my ubuntu root partition if about 7 GB ... I am using only 1 HD and presently the screen where I pick an OS works properly .. I'm just afraid that after I reinstall Edgy that there may be trouble ... How does one get a / less than a couple Gigabytes?
[04:31] <hossasaur> or after vista's entry?
[04:31] <aZu> ./configure: line 5493: syntax error near unexpected token `PACKAGE,'
[04:31] <aZu> ./configure: line 5493: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PACKAGE, $pkg_modules)'
[04:31] <mikedoty_text> I haven't tried the gfx-legacy
[04:31] <mikedoty_text> Maybe I will try that quickly
[04:31] <mikedoty_text> THanks for the suggestion :) brb maybe
[04:31] <rukuartic> mikedoty_text: No problem :)
[04:31] <aZu> anyone got any clues?
[04:32] <rukuartic> aZu: Sounds like your "configure" script is messed up.
[04:32] <Frogzoo> seamus7: sorry, that should have read < 100gig - you should be fine
[04:32] <sethk> aZu, that usually means autoconf is not installed, or out of date
[04:32] <quaal> i just tried moving .gnome2
[04:32] <quaal> same thing
[04:32] <quaal> blank screen
[04:32] <rukuartic> aZu: see sethk's comment
[04:32] <aZu> i installed autoconf
[04:32] <aZu> :/
[04:32] <sethk> quaal, you also moved .gnome2_private?
[04:32] <sethk> then pkg_config possibly
[04:32] <seamus7> Frogzoo: :) 0h ok that's what I thought you meant
[04:32] <quaal> sethk, i ls'd it and it was blank
[04:32] <meisam> dabaR done...:D
[04:33] <sethk> quaal, odd.  and you said a new user works.  Create a new user, back up the directory, run gnome, then see what gnome added to the new user.
[04:33] <aZu> like i'm pretty sure i have the latest one
[04:33] <sethk> aZu, if you installed from a package then it isn't a version issue
[04:33] <dynamicreflux> On a "duocore" laptop, is it cpudyn that runs cpu scaling?
[04:33] <flammenwurfer> Ok, I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17.11 and my nvidia driver quit working
[04:33] <aZu> i didn't instlal from a package
[04:33] <quaal> sethk, hmm
[04:33] <quaal> this sucks.
[04:33] <aZu> i installed from a separate tar ball
[04:34] <quaal> what right does fluxbox have to change my gnome settings
[04:34] <sethk> aZu, then it could be a version issue.  use the packages, you'll get a consistent set.
[04:34] <foutrelis> I want set up a irc server on my linux box which is running ubuntu 6.10 server edition. I found this guide but it's too complicated for me cause it need to build stuff from source. Is there an apt-get solution?
[04:34] <aZu> xournal doesn't have specific packages
[04:34] <foutrelis> ( guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_irc_server_anope_services )
[04:34] <seamus7> What file is it I need to backup if I want to keep my settings for current mount points (especially external hard drive partition mount points)???
[04:34] <aZu> from the first place the install-binary script was messed up
[04:34] <sethk> aZu, autoconf and automake packages is what I meant
[04:34] <rukuartic> FordPrefect: apt-cache search ircd
[04:34] <dynamicreflux> On a "duocore" laptop, is it cpudyn that runs cpu scaling?
[04:34] <rukuartic> FordPrefect: sorry.
[04:34] <aZu> i have the latest autoconf and automake packages
[04:34] <rukuartic> foutrelis: apt-cache search ircd
[04:35] <sethk> aZu, it could be a bug in what you are installing.  One usually discounts that, but it sounds like in this case it may be true.
[04:35] <musya> how do i set or edit user permissions for ssh?
[04:35] <aZu> wait
[04:35] <foutrelis> rukuartic: let me check that :)
[04:35] <sebanio> How can I open the system monitor to end a running process?? helpfile is no good
[04:35] <Frogzoo> seamus7: just backup all of /etc & /home   - then you have everything you'll need
[04:35] <aZu> my install looked error free
[04:35] <rukuartic> foutrelis: Just to let you know, ircd's aren't easy to set up like apache... From what I understand, if you can't configure it you shouldn't be running it.
[04:35] <Frogzoo> seamus7: unless you have stuff in /var as well
[04:36] <rukuartic> foutrelis: at least, in a production sense. If its just a learning experience go for it
[04:36] <sethk> aZu, you mean of autoconf and automake the installed is clean?
[04:36] <aZu> yeah
[04:36] <foutrelis> rukuartic: I want to do it for fun and for knowlegde :)
[04:36] <sethk> aZu, how about the package "pkg-config"?
[04:36] <mikedoty> Thanks for the nvidia-glx-legacy suggestion
[04:36] <rukuartic> aZu: Why are you compiling from source? Any specific reason? It should be in the repso
[04:36] <foutrelis> I always get excited about these kind of stuff
[04:36] <sebanio> lads??
[04:36] <foutrelis> *this
[04:36] <rukuartic> mikedoty: did it work?
[04:36] <mikedoty> It seems to do the trick.  :)
[04:37] <rukuartic> mikedoty: horay!
[04:37] <aZu> what are you talking about?
[04:37] <aZu> i don't see it in the repository
[04:37] <mikedoty> Yep.  I couldn't run opengl apps with the newest driver, but the legacy works great.  Thanks rukuartic :)
[04:37] <sethk> aZu, there is a package called pkg-config
[04:37] <sethk> aZu, I just checked my repo, that's what it's called
[04:37] <sethk> aZu, do a search in synaptic for pkg-config, see if it has a newer name
[04:38] <aZu> hold on
[04:38] <foutrelis> rukuartic: I ll try apt-getting some of those packages. Thanks a lot :)
[04:39] <aZu> it says i have the latest versions
[04:39] <seamus7> What is the file used to set mount points?
[04:40] <sethk> seamus7, /etc/fstab
[04:40] <aZu> sethk: i have the latest version of pkg-config
[04:40] <seamus7> sethk: thx
[04:40] <corevette> how do you make install under root?
[04:40] <sethk> azeem, I'm trying to think what else might cause it.
[04:40] <sethk> corevette, usually using sudo
[04:40] <corevette> sethk sudo make install dosen't work
[04:40] <sethk> corevette, what happens?
[04:41] <aZu> did you try sudo make before that?
[04:41] <sethk> corevette, you can set the root password, but it shouldn't be necessary
[04:41] <aZu> you might lack some packages
[04:41] <sethk> aZu, sudo make install will do sudo make as a dependency
[04:41] <aZu> ah didn't know
[04:41] <aZu> so redundancy
[04:41] <aZu> :/
[04:41] <corevette> sethk, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6053/
[04:41] <sethk> aZu, can't hurt  :)
[04:42] <sethk> corevette, hold on, I'll look
[04:42] <re-align> How does one go about installing the SSH server on a console only server box?
[04:42] <aZu> sethk: i don't know why it's not working
[04:42] <bimberi> re-align: sudo apt-get install ssh
[04:42] <wasabi_> re-align: apt-get install openssh-server?
[04:42] <seamus7> Using an ATI Radeon Mobile X1300 on a laptop of course ... is it possible to get resolutions higher than 1280x800 ?
[04:42] <deep> Is there any way to hide the cursor? I often do everything by just the keyboard, and the cursor is in my way. ^^
[04:42] <sethk> aZu, I don't either, I'm trying to think what else might be involved.
[04:43] <ootm> re-align: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html
[04:43] <NewTrickster> How high can your laptop screen go?
[04:43] <re-align> Ah, thanks. Not that up on the console commands...usually use the GUI.
[04:43] <Albinotux> Hi there, I am trying to compile some applications. Where do I find the basic C libs? (stdio.h etc)
[04:43] <seamus7> NewTrickster: I believe 1280x 800 is the official resolution
[04:43] <sethk> corevette, looks like hotplug support is missing.  You might have to insmod it, or rebuild the kernel with hotplug support.
[04:43] <re-align> Unfortunately, thee GUI doesn't work on the server box for some reason...
[04:43] <sethk> Albinotux, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:43] <Albinotux> Which package do I need to install
[04:43] <bimberi> Albinotux: installing build-essential will bring them in
[04:43] <corevette> so...pretend i'm beginner sethk....how would i fix this
[04:43] <sbot42> Hrmm
[04:44] <aZu> this is pissing me off
[04:44] <dynamicreflux> does anyone know how to fix cpu scaling, i seem to have broken it. any way to reset the settings?
[04:44] <NewTrickster> You should be able to get there, but you would have to tweak Xserve by hand.
[04:44] <sethk> corevette, does /etc/hotplug exist?
[04:44] <Albinotux> sethk, bimberi: Thanks for the help.
[04:44] <corevette> don't think so sethk
[04:44] <dynamicreflux> does anyone know how to fix cpu scaling, i seem to have broken it. any way to reset the settings?
[04:44] <corevette> yes it does sethk
[04:45] <seamus7> NewTrickster: I've tried editing the xorg.conf file but, if higher resolutions are possible, I'm not doing it correctly.
[04:45] <bimberi> Albinotux: yw :)
[04:45] <dj_> can someone point me to where i can get mythtv - sql help?
[04:46] <sethk> corevette, I'm not sure.  check /etc/hotplug.d, but if /etc/hotplug is there, /etc/hotplug.d will be also
[04:46] <corevette> yes they're both there sethk
[04:46] <dynamicreflux> ANYONE know anything bout cpu freq scaling? i uninstalled and reinstalled cpudyn but that didnt work
[04:46] <NewTrickster> seamus: If you have already tried that then your laptop might not be capable, but you might have to tweak the scan rates that gets tricky.
[04:46] <sethk> corevette, the paths are relative (that is, it says etc/hotplug, not /etc/hotplug).  I wonder if the current directory is wrong.
[04:46] <seamus7> NewTrickster: ok thx
[04:46] <bwilson> How can I allow another computer to access my computer through SSH?
[04:47] <sethk> bwilson, install openssh-server
[04:47] <bwilson> sethk:  ssh isnt installed by default?
[04:48] <sethk> bwilson, client is, server isn't
[04:48] <aZu> this is making me go crazy
[04:48] <sethk> bwilson, for the desktop install.  different for the server install, of course.
[04:48] <re-align> Which text editor comes with the Dapper server (conseole text editor)?
[04:48] <sethk> aZu, is it possible that the thing is just broken?  google, see if other people are running into this.
[04:48] <sethk> re-align, vi, and a couple of others, nano, for one
[04:49] <misnix> and ex :-)
[04:49] <re-align> nano, huh...I'll try it.
[04:49] <aZu> people aren't runnning into errors
[04:49] <bwilson> setk:  how do i get it?  its not in the add/remove applications window?
[04:49] <aZu> that's the thing
[04:49] <NewTrickster> re-align: vi
[04:49] <Shaffox> where are the ubuntu logs stored ?
[04:50] <sethk> Shaffox, /var/log
[04:50] <Shaffox> i mean this irc logs on the server
[04:50] <sethk> aZu, I'm not having any brilliant thoughts at the moment
[04:50] <Pici> !logs
[04:50] <ubotu> Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs
[04:50] <aZu> lol
[04:50] <aZu> i wasn't either
[04:51] <Shaffox> Pici, thanks
[04:51] <daniel_bergamini> hey for what it's worth (and logs, speaking of which) adding irqpoll to my kernel options in grub fixed my issue with the nforce 590 sli network cards
[04:52] <Cameron__> I have a question.
[04:52] <wheels3572> can anyone tell me how and if it's possible to IMPORT mail back into evolution or show me a better email client to use
[04:52] <pilgrim> Hey all. I decided to check out the service running on my machine and decided that I didn't need "apmd" running. I uncheck the box and then figured that my battery status wasn't displaying right. I enabled the service but it still doesn't work. It says "Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/acpid.socket! Make sure the ACPI subsystem is working and the acpid daemon is running. Any ideas on what to do?
[04:52] <wheels3572> ?
[04:52] <bwilson> how can i install ssh server?
[04:52] <NewTrickster> pilgrim: Did you reboot?
[04:52] <pilgrim> NewTrickster, yeah.
[04:53] <sethk> pilgrim, start the acpid daemon, if it isn't running
[04:53] <NewTrickster> pilgrim: is the service running can you see it in Proc?
[04:53] <corevette> can somebody help me install this http://homepage3.nifty.com/StudioBreeze/software/usbmidi-e.html
[04:53] <dj_> im having trouble installing mythv, it wont let me do a proper mythtv-setup
[04:53] <pilgrim> bwilson, sudo apt-get install ssh
[04:53] <dj_> is there a chan for it?
[04:54] <Cameron__> Imagine I'm a complete moron when it comes to computers. Because I essentially am. I've got a new partition that's 149 gigs, but I don't know how to install Ubuntu onto it. The partition doesn't have anything on it. Ubuntu doesn't let me select it to install into, only my C drive, which I don't want to over write. How do I get Ubuntu into the "unallocated" space.
[04:54] <wheels3572> what's the cli for untaring a file?
[04:54] <pilgrim> sethk acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
[04:54] <wasabi_> corevette: Not likely. Looks like it's REALLY old.
[04:54] <sethk> pilgrim, did you use sudo?
[04:54] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Is it .tat .tar.gz .tar.bz2?
[04:54] <pilgrim> sethk, course.
[04:55] <NewTrickster> wheels: tar -xvcf or man tar to be sure.
[04:55] <wheels3572> ardchoille, long time no talk and it's .tar
[04:55] <tonyyarusso> Cameron__: Under "manually edit partition table" or some such
[04:55] <sethk> pilgrim, something is running that has the pipe tried up.  lsof may tell you what
[04:55] <NewTrickster> wheel: tar -xvf
[04:55] <Cameron__> Tonyyarusso: Yeah, I'm under there. But I can't select the partition I want to put it into.
[04:55] <wheels3572> NewTrickster, is that tar -xvf to zip it up or unzip it?
[04:56] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Indeed. How ya doing?
[04:56] <tieTYT2> whoever was helping me earlier that worked
[04:56] <tieTYT2> thanks a lot
[04:56] <pilgrim> sethk, lsof | grep /proc/acpi/event  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<that returns nothing.
[04:56] <wheels3572> ardchoille, going frigging nuts lol
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> Cameron__: Strange.  Is it listed but can't be selected?
[04:56] <tieTYT2> but i kept on having this problem that the nvidia drivers would work until i restarted
[04:56] <ardchoille> wheels3572: hehe
[04:56] <kondor2> now im playing poker in wine, i love this OS!!!
[04:56] <tieTYT2> i fixed that by uninstalling all nvidia drivers first then installing the driver after that
[04:56] <sethk> pilgrim, try strace of the process that produces that error
[04:56] <wheels3572> ardchoille, need a GOOD email client for Linux that will allow me to back up email and evolution is a PITA when it comes to that
[04:56] <Dr_willis> kondor2,  online gambling - the reason computers were invented...
[04:57] <ardchoille> wheels3572: Maybe Thunderbird?
[04:57] <Cameron__> Tonyyarusso: Yeah, but that could just be my incompetence, and I might be just missing something.
[04:57] <wheels3572> haven't tried that yet
[04:57] <wheels3572> ardchoille, haven't tried that.   never got a good site on that for comparisons
[04:57] <pilgrim> sethk, like this:  strace sudo /etc/init.d/acpid start   ?
[04:58] <kondor2> im amazed, first night on linux, got a tv prog, watched it, played sonic and now playing wine enabled poker.  this is alot easier than i thought
[04:58] <tonyyarusso> Cameron__: Maybe.  Could also be not detecting it, but I can't think of why.
[04:58] <sethk> pilgrim, yes.  use -o to save the results, which will be verbose.  then search the result for the /proc/whatever that it's complaining about
[04:59] <dj_> i keep getting this error trying to install mythtv
[04:59] <dj_> root@dj-desktop:/var/lib/mysql# mysql -u root mysql
[04:59] <dj_> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[04:59] <deep> Anyone got any idea why firefox isnt connecting to the internet?
[05:00] <SirBob1701> Just wondering once you download php5-pgsql is their anything else you need to do to beable to use the PDO object?
[05:00] <wheels3572> ardchoille, this not looking to good for me at all lol.  It wont let me pull up my old mail grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr any ideas here
[05:01] <Pancakes> Could someone help me install Ubuntu? I go to "Install/Start" (6.06), and then click on install icon, and everything just lags out on me. Is there an easier way to install it?
[05:01] <HymnToLife> !alternate | Pancakes
[05:01] <ubotu> Pancakes: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:01] <newest007> giday, hey how do i install a GDM theme?
[05:01] <patrick> hey does anyone have a creative zen v that works with edgy?
[05:01] <patrick> i cant get gnomad to install properly
[05:02] <Pancakes> HymnToLife, so what would I do?:/
[05:02] <pilgrim> sethk, I ran ""strace sudo /etc/init.d/acpid start > somefile 2>&1""  (without the quotes) however there is nothing that has "proc" in that file "somefile"
[05:02] <HymnToLife> Pancakes, download an Alternate CD and use it instead of the Dektop one
[05:02] <NewTrickster> PCakes: I agree, use the
[05:02] <HymnToLife> Pancakes, what are the specs of the machine you want to install Ubuntu on (RAM especially) ?
[05:03] <Pancakes> I have no clue:$
[05:03] <pilgrim> newest007, goto system>admin>login window
[05:04] <NewTrickster> PCakes: I agree, use the Alternate CD, some memory models don't like the Desktop one for some reason.  I have a box that only loads with Alt.,  Good Luck!
[05:04] <Pancakes> I have difficulties downloading, I had to order this CD.:/
[05:05] <Pancakes> Would I be able to install in the safe mode or whatever?:$
[05:05] <shoumik> Hey i have sound converter and I want to convert a bunch of m4a to mp3. What do i have to download?
[05:05] <NewTrickster> PCakes: A leaky mem chip can also give you issues.  USe the tools in the begining of the Install and check your system.  Let the memory checker run over nite.  A lot of soft memory leaks take some time to show up.
[05:06] <pilgrim> sethk, any other suggestions ?
[05:07] <sethk> pilgrim, I'm thinking
[05:07] <pilgrim> sethk, where's the hour glass damn it?
[05:07] <Pancakes> NewTrickster, that wouldn't solve the problem though, would it?:/
[05:07] <AUREOUS> how do I get something to print?
[05:07] <AUREOUS> like, from open office
[05:08] <patrick> any ideas?
[05:08] <xTERMiNATOR> Is there any way to change the Gnome theme from the terminal?
[05:09] <cpk1> Pancakes: you live in the USA?
[05:09] <pilgrim> xTERMiNATOR, probably. try screwing around with the .gconf directory.
[05:09] <specialbuddy> do I have to start vncserver as root?
[05:09] <xTERMiNATOR> Thanks pilgrim

[05:10] <NewTrickster> PCakes: Alot of loading problems are due to soft memory leaks.  You can run Windows for years on a box and try to load a Linux distro and it will dump on you.  Just run the memory tester in the Diags when you first boot the CD and let it run.  I've had errors turn up 2 to 5 hours after testing starts.

[05:10] <Pancakes> cpk1, indeed.
[05:10] <specialbuddy> do I have to start vncserver as root?
[05:10] <SaveFerris> Is there an Nvidia driver/configurator in Ubuntu?
[05:10] <Mixx> i copied a partition to a larger partition on another disk using dd (i know, i know - shoulda used tar).  Any app that strictly reads the partition table (qtparted, fdisk, fsck) displays the correct info: 72GB.  However if I use "df" or any other app (mythtv) to show free space, it still uses old values.  Where else is partition size stored?
[05:10] <cpk1> Pancakes: if you want I can send you a dapper/edgy dvd/cd if you open a query with me
[05:11] <NewTrickster>  PCakes: Don't be afraid of doing this, ya can't hurt the thing.
[05:11] <cpk1> i can send it out sometime next week
[05:11] <Nergar> i'm creating a VM but i need to read/write to the virtual drive from ubuntu, wich one should i use?? IDE or SCSI????
[05:12] <ahhh_fosco> can someone give me a link or tell me what wireless network PCI cards work on the desktop version of ubuntu?
[05:12] <Pancakes> cpk1, it's probably okay, I'll have a freind (near by) do it for me.
[05:13] <Music_Shuffle> !hardware | ahhh_fosco
[05:13] <ubotu> ahhh_fosco: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:13] <Music_Shuffle> perhaps that link can ehlp? >.>
[05:13] <Music_Shuffle> help*
[05:13] <NewTrickster>  Nergar:  Virtual drives are usually memory and not physical
[05:13] <pilgrim> sethk, I also disabled my database service....there wouldn't be a sick connection between databases and apm would there?
[05:13] <sethk> pilgrim, I've never seen that.  I have boxes without database servers running apm
[05:14] <pilgrim> sethk, makes sense.
[05:14] <Nergar> i know, but there is a way to browse the files inside a virtual drive from ubuntu??
[05:14] <NewTrickster> Nergar: If you can make a mount point for it yes.
[05:15] <Nergar> so what type should i use? PCI or SCCI?
[05:15] <verma> hey people, how do I switch from terminal to file-edit in kate?
[05:15] <verma> verma, using the keyboard that is
[05:16] <NewTrickster> Nergar:  I'd have to play with it,  I don't think either.
[05:16] <Nergar> D:
[05:16] <tieTYT2> i can't watch the videos i used to watch when I used windows.  Does anyone know a good codec pack for linux I can install?
[05:16] <tieTYT2> also, are there any formats I should expect to not be able to watch when on linux?
[05:18] <Albinotux> 2 Things: How do I view my NTFS partitions? and how do I make applications autostart?
[05:18] <tieTYT2> Albinotux: how do you view it?  Is it mounted yet?
[05:19] <pilgrim> tieTYT2, install http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[05:19] <Albinotux> tieTYT2: Will it not automatically detect them?
[05:19] <tieTYT2> Albinotux: it didn't for me.  You have to use the mount command
[05:19] <wheels3572> How do I find out where evolution is located?
[05:19] <tieTYT2> mount /folder/to/access/ntfs /dev/thehd
[05:19] <pilgrim> wheels3572, which evolution
[05:19] <tieTYT2> pilgrim: i'll try, thanks
[05:20] <pilgrim> tieTYT2, k
[05:20] <JunK-Y> im trying to get java working as a firefox plugin, ive read forum, and ive created libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /home/junky/Desktop/jre1.5.0_11/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so   but still doesnt work.
[05:20] <pilgrim> wheels3572, that's a command by the way
[05:20] <cpk1> other way around tieTYT2 its mount /dev/hd* (or sd*) /media/somefolder
[05:20] <wheels3572> evolution 2.8.1
[05:20] <pilgrim> wheels3572, run the command "which evolution"
[05:21] <wheels3572> ok
[05:21] <Albinotux> How do I make a mount point? touch /mnt/driveA
[05:21] <wheels3572> pilgrim, ty.  I tried saving a backup copy of it last time before i reinstalled Xubuntu
[05:21] <wheels3572> and well
[05:21] <astroboy> "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" .. can't boot into Edgy. Does anyone know of a fix ?
[05:22] <wheels3572> pilgrim, and well needless to say.  That backup wants to install to home/wheels
[05:22] <cpk1> Albinotux: ubuntu puts them in /media and it would be sudo mkdir /media/somename
[05:23] <pilgrim> wheels3572, you wanted a backup of evolution?
[05:23] <pilgrim> wheels3572, why ?
[05:24] <wheels3572> pilgrim, so i wouldn't lose all the email I had from listservers
[05:24] <stephans> hmmmm!
[05:25] <stephans> my install is failing on cdrom-core modules being loaded but the md5sum is good:
[05:25] <stephans> 549ef19097b10ac9237c08f6dc6084c6
[05:25] <pilgrim> wheels3572, in linux usually persoal preferences and such are store in the user's home directory. You could have just backup the hidden directories in /home/username and then replace them on the new installation, it would have been smooth.
[05:25] <specialbuddy> does vncserver need to be installed to use remote desktop?
[05:25] <stephans> how can a file be bad in the cd when teh summ is good?
[05:26] <linux_stu> over a month trying to get slackware configured on my laptop... 10 minutes with ubuntu and i already have wireless internet!
[05:26] <sethk> stephans, might have read errors on the cd
[05:27] <pilgrim> stephans, burning could have gone bad.
[05:27] <wheels3572> pilgrim, yeah I know it looks like when i backed up the tar file it zipped everything from home/wheels
[05:27] <specialbuddy> does vncserver need to be installed to use remote desktop?
[05:27] <GMWeezel> For some reason, only one sound application is allowed access to my audio i/o layer.
[05:27] <GMWeezel> At a time to qualify it.
[05:28] <pilgrim> GMWeezel, is xmms running?
[05:28] <pilgrim> GMWeezel, if so, it actually (I think the only one) that locks the audio i/o
[05:28] <noodles12> i have gotten the " Executing 'grub-install (hda): failed" fatal error         4 times while trying to install edgy. what causes this?
[05:28] <GMWeezel> pilgrim: What is xmms?
[05:28] <JunK-Y> many apps locks it.
[05:28] <GMWeezel> I get the problem with all apps.
[05:28] <pilgrim> GMWeezel, music player
[05:28] <pilgrim> GMWeezel, k. nm.
[05:29] <JunK-Y> GMWeezel: its like winamp.
[05:29] <GMWeezel> pilgrim: Oh no; it does it with all apps.
[05:29] <GMWeezel> Can I disable audio I/O locking?
[05:29] <pilgrim> sethk, I think
[05:29] <sethk> noodles12, problem writing the MBR on the boot disk
[05:29] <pilgrim> I'll just restart again.
[05:29] <noodles12> sethk: how do i fix it?
[05:29] <pilgrim> my windows skills seem to suggest that
[05:29] <sethk> noodles12, sometimes installing grub manually after the install completes works.
[05:29] <cables> GMWeezel, I just joined, but it sounds like your audio software is using OSS and not ALSA, which means only one can be used at a time.
[05:30] <sethk> noodles12, if everything but that grub thing succeeds during install, you can boot from cd and then install grub manually
[05:30] <GMWeezel> cables: Can I force them to use ALSA?
[05:30] <Gnimsh> Hi
[05:30] <cables> GMWeezel, what programs are they?
[05:30] <JunK-Y> cables: so OSS is restrited to one, when ALSA could have many?
[05:30] <Gnimsh> I'm wondering if someone wouldn't mind helping me out with my sound card trouble?
[05:30] <cables> JunK-Y, I believe so.
[05:30] <GMWeezel> cables: Flash, Audacity, YSFlight simulator, most games
[05:31] <cables> GMWeezel, there's a program you can install that will put an OSS emulation wrapper around those programs to have them use ALSA.
[05:31] <cables> GMWeezel, "sudo aptitude install alsa-oss"
[05:31] <JunK-Y> any idea even after installing sun-java6-jre package, i still cant use java in my firefox?
[05:31] <GMWeezel> cables: must it be configured for every single application or will it automatically wrap them all?
[05:32] <cables> GMWeezel, you'll have to change the menu entries for those programs to have them run through it
[05:32] <dynamicreflux> i need some serious help, i broke the cpu freq scaling and need to get it back to the way it was
[05:32] <GMWeezel> cables: So it's probably not a sound card issue?
[05:32] <cables> GMWeezel, you just need to run the app as "aoss <appname>". You can do that to test it, then change your menu entries to do that.
[05:32] <cables> GMWeezel, definitely not a soundcard issue
[05:33] <GMWeezel> cables: What about embedded applications like flash and java?
[05:33] <noodles12> sethk: do i just do "grub-install (hda1)"   ?
[05:33] <noodles12> sethk: the installer crashes after that happens =/
[05:33] <EdgEy> grub-install /dev/hda1
[05:33] <EdgEy> possibly
[05:33] <EdgEy> or /dev/hda
[05:34] <cables> GMWeezel, those are stealing sound too? Are you using Flash 7?
[05:35] <JunK-Y> apparently theres no flash on x86-64, any solution if i really need flash?
[05:35] <GMWeezel> cables: I don't have Java installed but when I am running flash, I can't run Audacity; I was just assuming Java since everything else does but flash 100% sure
[05:35] <GMWeezel> cables: I need to check the version though; one moment
[05:36] <corevette> can someone help me install http://homepage3.nifty.com/StudioBreeze/software/usbmidi-e.html
[05:36] <GMWeezel> cables: Adobe Flash player 9 but anything I have run that plays sound except Gaim hogs my sound i/o layer.
[05:37] <Gnimsh> ok so my onboard sound worked last night in ubuntu, now it doesn't work at all (in gnome or KDE) I've tried the alsa mixer solution but I dunno if I'm saving it correctly. If I am, it still doesn't work.
[05:37] <dynamicreflux> i need some serious help, i broke the cpu freq scaling and need to get it back to the way it was
[05:37] <cables> GMWeezel, there's a way to get Firefox to use aoss for its sound. But hold on, Ubotu has a factoid about sound, and you may want to read that to see if anything solves your problems. Some apps will still need to use AOSS however.
[05:37] <cables> !sound | GMWeezel
[05:37] <ubotu> GMWeezel: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:38] <wkdown> if there doesn't seem to be linux drivers out for certain hardware, what do you do?
[05:38] <JunK-Y> wkdown: what else can we do except waiting?
[05:38] <wkdown> like I can't find Linux drivers for my VoIP phone to use with Skype
[05:39] <rbil> wkdown: don't use the hardware with Linux, the same as with any other operating system that doesn't have drivers for a particular device
[05:39] <wkdown> well I know there's ways of 'tweaking' existing drivers
[05:39] <wkdown> well I got this USB wireless phone compatible with Skype, and its the only thing holding me back from deleting Windows altogether
[05:40] <PFA> does anyone know if it's posible to alter the colour for the taskbar flash in your theme's gtkrc and if so where?
[05:40] <rbil> wkdown: feel your pain. I have to keep running a XP box just to give me skype for a telephone. it's a drag that these vendors don't provide Linux drivers.
[05:41] <bhearsum> i just installed ubuntu 6.10 onto an lvm partition and now my system will not boot. it gets to an initrd prompt and looks like it hasn't activated the lvm partitions (or maybe lvm support isn't in the kernel or the initrd)
[05:41] <bhearsum> anyone know how i can resolve this issue
[05:41] <Hmmmm> hey guys, i want to tar.bz2 a dir. but skip one subdir. how do i do it? googled, but with no good result
[05:41] <Dr_willis> wkdown,   i got one of those phones... in the boottom of a drawer...
[05:41] <bhearsum> ?
[05:41] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:41] <headphase> I am having trouble getting widescreen resoultons with my comp
[05:41] <wkdown> is there a way to do it through, say, WINE?
[05:42] <rbil> wkdown: don't know about wine, but have been successful getting webcam and skype working running under vmplayer and a W2K vm
[05:42] <Frogzoo> wkdown: you can give it a go, serial works in wine, not sure about usb
[05:42] <rbil> wkdown: but that's a lot of resources for such silliness :-(
[05:42] <Frogzoo> wkdown: actually, that should work, fingers crossed
[05:43] <cables> wkdown, I tried it with Wine. Webcam didn't work, but everything else sorta worked.
[05:43] <Hmmmm> any one know how tar a dir while skipping a subdir?
[05:43] <cables> wkdown, the UI was text-only though (button icons dissapeared)
[05:43] <wkdown> cables: ok cool ... I don't really use the GUI, just the firmware
[05:46] <wkdown> just found this actually (gotta love Google) ... http://www.grynx.com/projects/siemens-skype/
[05:46] <wkdown> maybe I'll concoct myself a Skype phone
[05:46] <Vilhelms> Is it impossible to run Aigxl on an ATI Xpress 200?
[05:46] <sivik> Vilhelms, i'm happy i just finally was able to get my 3d drivers to work correctly
[05:47] <Vilhelms> sivik, Haha, I remember the feeling :)
[05:47] <Vilhelms> sivik, Took me like 3 days to get them working right :(
[05:47] <inazad> how to use our webcam ?
[05:48] <JunK-Y> after installing sun-java6-jre, should java works in firefox?
[05:48] <cables> JunK-Y, you need to install sun-java6-plugin too, I think
[05:48] <corevette> i have an error:  sgml2html: Command not found
[05:49] <verma> this is wierd, the sound output is coming out of my notebook speakers as well as my headphones ... shouldn't plugging in the headphones mute my notebook speakers?
[05:49] <JunK-Y> cables: theres no package with that name,
[05:50] <sivik> Vilhelms, i finally got mine working after like over a year
[05:50] <wkdown> another question: every once in awhile I try to install a Debian package with the 'Package Installer' app, but I dead end when there's dependencies ... how do I force it to get all dependencies?
[05:50] <wkdown> have to go through the Terminal?
[05:50] <verma> any ideas?
[05:50] <Vilhelms> sivik, A YEAR?! o.o

[06:01] <corevette> i get the error: make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/.config'. Stop.
[06:01] <Pancakes> Flannel, doubt you remember me. I got the Ubunta CD, however it's really laggy on me when I try to install it:P
[06:01] <ircusr> !vmware
[06:01] <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
[06:01] <Gnimsh> so has anyone ever had their sound just randomly stop working in ubuntu?
[06:01] <ircusr> this bot is cool
[06:02] <Giod> no
[06:02] <Giod> yea it is
[06:02] <CaptainMorgan> folks, I have folders that are newly created and placed onto the ~/Desktop. However, they are not actually visible on the Desktop, yet they can be found within ~/Desktop from the command line or from the Nautilus browser. What can't I actually see the folders/files ?
[06:02] <ircusr> select show hidden files
[06:02] <Giod> !hot hoarse butholes in a cup
[06:02] <ircusr> in nautilus
[06:02] <PFA> what colour in the gtkrc does gnome-panel use for those taskbar flashes? (like for a new message in gaim or whatever)
[06:02] <re-align> Pancakes, this is normal on loweer spec computers.
[06:03] <CaptainMorgan> sorry - nevermind.. it appears I have a second ~/Home/Desktop... doh
[06:03] <re-align> The live boot from CD useess a chink of your computer's RAM and thus, the computer effectivelyt has less RAM to use.
[06:03] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: ~/home/Desktop?  that isn't your desktop
[06:03] <Giod> Yea ive been using ubuntu off and on for like 2 years
[06:03] <re-align> stupid spelling eerrors...
[06:04] <JunK-Y> dabaR: and just to let ya know, i already have java on my machine, just cant get it working in firefox
[06:04] <Giod> i have it dual booting with xp
[06:04] <JunK-Y> even after symlink
[06:04] <dabaR> corevette: did you run ./configure?
[06:04] <Giod> but i bought a imac g3 off ebay
[06:04] <JunK-Y> i used the 32 bits plugin, for my x86-64 machine.
[06:04] <Giod> gonna upgrade it
[06:04] <corevette> dabar...../configure doesn't exist
[06:04] <Pancakes> re-align, another user here told me I should use the alternate CD, would that be the only solution?
[06:04] <larrythecow> I have an ath0 card supported by madwifi. I booted up my ubuntu live cd (6.10) and opened up wlanassistant and it said "radio is turned off, would you like to turn it on?" [yes]  "no networks found". It said that almost instantly so it can't have looked.
[06:05] <Giod> and use as a seti/folding machien
[06:05] <dabaR> corevette: show us the output of ls in a paste.ubuntu-nl.org post.
[06:05] <re-align> Pancakes, does it run at all? How slow is it and what are you specs?
[06:06] <larrythecow> what could be wrong?
[06:06] <Pancakes> I can get past the language part, but when the 'map' comes up, the curser is extreamly difficult to manage, and I havn't been able to get past step 2.:/
[06:06] <dabaR> Pancakes: it would be a good alternative, yes.
[06:06] <corevette> dabar http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6061/
[06:06] <dabaR> corevette: and make does not work?
[06:06] <Pancakes> re-align, would I be able to use the 'safe mode' or whatever to install it?:/
[06:07] <corevette> dabar Makefile:18: /usr/src/linux/.config: No such file or directory
[06:07] <corevette> make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/.config'.  Stop.
[06:07] <dabaR> !wireless | larrythecow
[06:07] <ubotu> larrythecow: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:07] <corevette> sorry
[06:07] <CaptainMorgan> i know Flannel, that's what was so screwy... and I have no idea how it was created in the first place..
[06:07] <CaptainMorgan> thanks
[06:07] <re-align> Pancakes, what are the systeems specs? I'vee not seen Safe Mode do anything different from normal install.
[06:08] <dabaR> corevette: where did you get the file?
[06:08] <cables> Can someone explain how the -generic kernel works? On Dapper I had to install a specific kernel to get increased performance and hyperthreading, but the -generic kernel in edgy seems to have adapted to my CPU type somehow...
[06:08] <corevette> dabar http://homepage3.nifty.com/StudioBreeze/software/usbmidi-e.html
[06:08] <Music_Shuffle> !generic
[06:08] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[06:08] <Music_Shuffle> ;P
[06:08] <cables> Music_Shuffle, thanks
[06:08] <larrythecow> thanks uboto bot! sorry for teasing you :P
[06:08] <re-align> Pancakes, all I need to know is the CPU type and speed and the amount of RAM.
[06:09] <larrythecow> and dabar
[06:09] <Giod> i wish the dude making the zune linux would hurry up
[06:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, how do I make a link to home, or ~/ on the Desktop? ln -s ~/ ~/Desktop/ ?
[06:09] <Frogzoo_> cables: the arch optimisations are loaded as modules
[06:09] <Giod> hes only been able to get it to run while docked
[06:10] <cables> Frogzoo_, is there any performance loss between this way and the previous way with multiple kernels?
[06:10] <Frogzoo_> cables: apparently barely anything
[06:10] <dynamicreflux> i need some serious help, i broke the cpu freq scaling and need to get it back to the way it was
[06:10] <cables> Frogzoo_, thanks
[06:10] <dynamicreflux> Frogzoo: do u got a minute man
[06:11] <dabaR> corevette: I need a few.
[06:11] <Pottie> !wine | i keep getting this error even thought the ventrilo folder is in the system32 "pottie@pottie:~$ wine ventrilo.exe
[06:11] <Pottie> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\ventrilo.exe": Module not found
[06:11] <Pottie> "
[06:11] <ubotu> i keep getting this error even thought the ventrilo folder is in the system32 "pottie@pottie:~$ wine ventrilo.exe: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:11] <Frogzoo_> dynamicreflux: batteries only good for 5, sup?
[06:11] <corevette> ok dabar..thanks for the help...i really need it
[06:11] <CaptainMorgan> nevermind - I simply dragged, the Home link in Places->Home over the desktop... I think what confused me early was that ~/Desktop/Home was found in the nautilus browser
[06:11] <dynamicreflux> i broke cpu freq scaling
[06:11] <dynamicreflux> how do i get it up and running again
[06:11] <JunK-Y> so 6.10 isnt lts and wont be?
[06:11] <dynamicreflux> i reinstalled cpudyn
[06:11] <Frogzoo_> dynamicreflux: I've no idea what you broke
[06:11] <dynamicreflux> neither do i actually
[06:12] <muuhDBX> cpudyn ?
[06:12] <dynamicreflux> right
[06:12] <userlinux> Hey whats the command to Configure you X ? (resolution)
[06:12] <dynamicreflux> i uninstalled and reinstalled it
[06:12] <dynamicreflux> just cuz im nosy
[06:12] <Giod> dynamicreflux: dude your screwed
[06:12] <dabaR> !fixres
[06:12] <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

[06:12] <cables> !resolution | userlinux
[06:12] <ubotu> userlinux: please see above
[06:12] <ubotu> userlinux: please see above
[06:12] <dynamicreflux> and now i get an error message on bootup
[06:12] <dynamicreflux> giod: that cant be possible
[06:12] <cables> Ubotu just got smarter... since when does it do the See Above thing?
[06:12] <dynamicreflux> cpudyn is a application in synaptics
[06:12] <hitmanWilly> userlinux: edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[06:13] <hitmanWilly> userlinux: scroll down to near the bottom
[06:13] <hitmanWilly> userlinux: syntax is pretty obvious from the file
[06:13] <cables> hitmanWilly, there's a guide that was sent to him already.
[06:13] <Pottie> s00 any ideas about my lil wine issue
[06:13] <Giod> dynamicreflux: How can that not be posible apperantly no one here know how to fix it or even wht your talking about
[06:13] <hitmanWilly> oh, missed that
[06:14] <userlinux> man this computer runs linux so dreadfully slow
[06:14] <Pancakes> re-align, what's a good program to figure out CPU, RAM, and etc.?
[06:14] <userlinux> 256mb ram is bad right
[06:14] <cables> userlinux, have you tried Xubuntu?
[06:14] <dynamicreflux> giod: does that make it my fault? no. im simply asking if anyone knows anything bout it
[06:14] <userlinux> cables: No I haven't whats about it?
[06:14] <cables> userlinux, it's an Ubuntu version that uses XFCE instead of GNOME, and is much faster on slow systems.
[06:15] <cables> userlinux, you can install it by running the command "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop". Then next time you log in, click Sessions and choose XFCE.
[06:15] <re-align> Well, I have to finish setting up my TS server on my servr box...and will probqably need some assistance when it comes time to move an exisitng database to it...
[06:15] <cydriv> hello could someone please help me. I am new to programming c++ in a linux enviorment. I was just wondering how do i grab user input. I am using a gcc compiler.
[06:15] <Giod> dynamicreflux: sorry but no aperantly no one knows
[06:15] <PirateHead> I want to resize my main partition and create a new partition. How do I do that?
[06:15] <re-align> Pancakes, what OS are you currently using?
[06:15] <cables> userlinux, you can then use both the default GNOME environment or the XFCE one by choosing when you log in.
[06:15] <Pancakes> re-align, windows XP.
[06:15] <sivik> Pancakes, isn't it winblows, not windows?
[06:15] <cables> PirateHead, the easiest way is to use an Ubuntu LiveCD. It's got GParted already on it.
[06:15] <Giod> PirateHead: Fdisk
[06:16] <Pancakes> sivik, my bad:P
[06:16] <re-align> Start Menu | Control Panel | System
[06:16] <Giod> or that
[06:16] <re-align> The first tab should giv you what you need.
[06:16] <dabaR> corevette: try following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96506
[06:16] <dabaR> Ask if you are not sure.
[06:16] <facugaich> cydriv, /join #c++
[06:16] <cydriv> ok thank you
[06:16] <cables> PirateHead, there's also a Gparted LiveCD (only 30 MB or so) you can download from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[06:16] <Pancakes> re-align, 256mb
[06:17] <wkdown> How come if I want to remove certain packages, I'm told I also have to remove 'ubuntu-desktop' ??
[06:17] <corevette> already followed it dabar
[06:17] <PFA> what colour in the gtkrc does gnome-panel use for those taskbar flashes? (like for a new message in gaim or whatever)
[06:17] <PFA> wkdown: dw, just remove it.
[06:17] <cables> userlinux, are you still here?
[06:17] <corevette> dabar....it won't produce a sound on the piano nor will it record
[06:17] <PirateHead> Cables, thanks. That might work quite well.
[06:17] <re-align> What's the proccessor?
[06:17] <cables> PirateHead, no problem
[06:17] <PFA> wkdown: ubuntu-desktop is a dummy package that installs the default programs for ubuntu. you don't need it.
[06:17] <Pancakes> re-align, pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
[06:17] <wkdown> PFA: what's 'ubuntu-desktop' is its not the GUI itself?
[06:17] <wkdown> oh ok
[06:17] <wkdown> great to know!
[06:18] <Minuo> I have a random question - I just noticed that the ubuntu fstab uses UUID's rather than /dev/whatever - how to I find a uuid to add to it?
[06:18] <cables> wkdown, remember to put it back if you want to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu.
[06:18] <wkdown> that should be common knowledge
, a reasonably new computer with only 256 megs of RAM...
[06:18] <cables> !ubuntu-desktop | wkdown, it is
[06:18] <ubotu> wkdown, it is: 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.
[06:18] <wkdown> cables: upgrade the kernel? or upgrade Dapper to Edgy?
[06:18] <PFA> dapper to edgy
[06:18] <wkdown> ok
[06:18] <cables> wkdown, Dapper to Edgy. Which, btw, can be risky... backup first.
[06:19] <wkdown> thanks for the tip guys!
[06:19] <grigora> does anyone know why I get an error when I run gmplayer saying skin is not found? I have mplayer-skins installed? thanks
[06:19] <re-align> Pancakes, I would suggest using the alternate CD.
[06:19] <Pancakes> :/
[06:19] <zcat[1] > with luck I should have sorted out my beryl-locking-up problem..
[06:19] <Pancakes> I have really bad RAM, eh?:/
[06:19] <corevette> any other ideas dabaR?
[06:20] <re-align> Most ssystems with a CPU like that have 512 or greater
[06:20] <Pancakes> I have a silly gateway:/
[06:20] <dabaR> corevette: do you have build-essential installed?
[06:20] <corevette> yes dabar
[06:20] <re-align> The Ubuntu live boot (standard CD) tends to usee over 100 megs of RAM.
[06:21] <re-align> Just for the RAMdisk...
[06:21] <PirateHead> I can't use the Gnome Partition Manger to resize my currently running partition, right?
[06:21] <PFA> what colour in the gtkrc does gnome-panel use for those taskbar flashes? (like for a new message in gaim or whatever)
[06:21] <cables> PirateHead, nope.
[06:22] <PirateHead> cables, GParted liveCD is my best bet then?
[06:22] <cables> PirateHead, you can use the Ubuntu LiveCD. It's got GParted on it, and you probably already have it. But it takes longer to boot. You can use either that or the GParted LiveCD>
[06:23] <cables> *.
[06:23] <dynamicreflux> giod: found my answer, next time know the answer yourself before telling someone "dude your screwed". jerk
[06:23] <PirateHead> I have dialup - it's probably a lot faster to just use the Ubuntu LiveCD.
[06:24] <Giod> dynamicreflux: i said i was sorry
[06:25] <corevette> any ideas dabar
[06:25] <dabaR> corevette: I was on the phone with a friend, I will look now.
[06:26] <NewTrickster> dabaR: Was using a phone-a-friend....:-)
[06:27] <wkdown> cables: what about 'ubuntu-base' and 'ubuntu-standard' ?? are these safe to remove?
[06:27] <kondor2> sorry for such a lame question, but it is one that is hard to phrase to google....  How can i tell how much free hard drive space I have in ubuntu (im 100% ubuntu no dual booting here)
[06:27] <kondor2> 6.06lts btw
[06:27] <cables> wkdown, I'm not sure... but you'll probably want to leave those there.
[06:28] <wkdown> ok
[06:28] <NewTrickster> kondor2: use df
[06:28] <kondor2> ill find out what df is, if i can't i will be back
[06:28] <con-man> how do I access flash drives in linux
[06:28] <con-man> prz
[06:28] <wkdown> funny that I cant remove an editor without removing those
[06:28] <gooby> irc.gamesurge.net
[06:28] <ChaosEddie> sudo df -l
[06:28] <ChaosEddie> is that right?
[06:28] <rbil> kondor2: use df -h       to make it human readable
[06:28] <cables> con-man, they should show up in Desktop or in Computer when you plug them in.
[06:28] <wkdown> vim, emacs, gedit, bluefish are all great ... I dont NEED nano .....
[06:29] <dabaR> corevette: you are sure that supports your card?
[06:29] <con-man> cables: they sure dont
[06:29] <corevette> what supports my card dabar
[06:29] <dabaR> well, that usb-midi thing, does it support your hardware?
[06:30] <nf4> hello
[06:30] <corevette> dabar: supported: MidiSport 1x1 / 2x2 / 4x4 (some restrictions) / USB-uno (MidiMan)
[06:30] <benlake> ChaosEddie: and I dont reckon you need the sudo
[06:30] <corevette> dabar i have a midisport 1x1
[06:30] <kondor2> newtrickster, no df here, but you put me on the right track, thanks
[06:30] <Pancakes> Could someone link me to the alternate ubuntu CD?
[06:31] <local> what , from the bash shell, will show what /dev/ has disks on it?
[06:31] <PFA> what colour in the gtkrc does gnome-panel use for those taskbar flashes? (like for a new message in gaim or whatever)

[06:32] <Pancakes> dabaR*
[06:32] <Pancakes> dabaR, which one will I want?:/
[06:33] <dabaR> do you want the newest, or the rock solid Ubuntu?
[06:33] <aaron_> is there anything I can use that is like task manager in windows, something is slowing down my system and I want to see what it is.
[06:33] <rbil> aaron_: top
[06:33] <Pancakes> dabaR, whatever is easier on my computer.:/
[06:33] <kondor2> Chaoseddie, thanks, and it is alot easier than i thought thanks to google and lots of info

[06:34] <aaron_> thanks rbil
[06:34] <Pancakes> PC
[06:35] <ChaosEddie> kondor2: yea, the help is amazinggggg. much better then calling microsoft and paying for their help.
[06:35] <corevette> dabar any last ideas?

[06:35] <sean13> a graphical way other than the command line
[06:35] <con-man> why does linux not like USB2.0
[06:36] <dabaR> sean13: lshw or a gui inside the menus on the top of the screen.
[06:36] <sean13> sort of like an advanced "Device manager"?
[06:36] <Ferret> A graphical list?
[06:36] <con-man> whenever I turn usb 2.0 on in the bios, linux wont boot. It just stalls that the start up screen

[06:42] <con-man> whenever I turn usb 2.0 on in the bios, linux wont boot. It just stalls that the start up screen
[06:42] <cables> dabaR, he's impatient and as a result feels ignored and is taking it out on me.
[06:42] <riotkitt1e> amar: do you have apt, aptitude, or synaptic open at the time
[06:42] <Frogzoo> !spam | con-man
[06:42] <ubotu> con-man: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam, !AskTheBot - and most importantly, use common sense :-)

[06:45] <rpc> Frogzoo do i need to set it up for sata manually?
[06:45] <Oni-Dracula> so anyway, no one here owns a logitech LCD screen gaming keyboardy thingamajigger (logitech g15)
[06:45] <Frogzoo> rpc: nope - sata is dma enabled by default
[06:45] <dabaR> corevette: I can only suggest perhaps posting to the forum thread, with as much info on your issue that you have. Like exact steps, exact hardware, exact output, and someone may apply,. The thread was active a week ago last time.
[06:45] <cafuego_> rpc: 4-5MB/s is *incredibly* slow.
[06:45] <patrick> hey does anyone have a creative zen v that works with edgy?
[06:45] <Frogzoo> rpc: how full are these drives?
[06:45] <rpc> Frogzoo hmm what else could i check?
[06:45] <patrick> i cant get gnomad to install properly
[06:45] <edawg26> yeah, so Eg. for a movie, I right-click, go to properties and 'open with'. And I choose 'VLC Player' and it opens. Thats great, but I want it to do that every time I do a normal double click with the left mouse button...

[06:46] <Frogzoo> rpc: setting block sizes when you create the file system can help, but not 5x worth
[06:46] <rpc> Frogzoo the drive has more than 170GB free space but it always was like that, nothing that it got slower lately
[06:46] <ardchoille> edawg26: If you tick the radio button next to VLC, it should do that
[06:46] <edawg26> yeah, thanks a lot!
[06:46] <dabaR> sean13: probably not, I just read through the options.

[06:48] <amar> can anyone give me the code to kill all appns or processes
[06:48] <cables> ChaosEddie, remove the hyphen and you've got it, I think... I just rejoined the channel, so I don't know exactly what you're trying to do.
[06:48] <kitche> amar: can only kill one process at a time unless you kill the users login
[06:48] <cables> amar, ALL apps and processes?
[06:48] <cafuego_> kitche: not quite
[06:48] <hitmanWilly> try kill -l

[06:49] <kitche> cafuego_: really how can you kill all processes? and stay login just wondering since I don't know how to do that but then again I m more of a cli
[06:49] <cables> ChaosEddie, okay.
[06:49] <rbil> amar: why would you want to kill all processes? you may as well just shutdown the machine :-)
[06:49] <cables> amar, could you just reboot the computer?
[06:49] <edawg26> anyone a Nautilus expert that can help me? When I click on 'add' and choose a program it says 'Could nod add application to the application database' So maybe mine is bugged?
[06:49] <amar> i have already done dat....... but still the pro exists
[06:49] <cafuego_> kitche: [disclaimer]  as root: kill -9 -1 [/disclaimer] 
[06:49] <cables> amar, are you using sudo?
[06:49] <cafuego_> kitche: that stops everything really quickly
[06:49] <rpc> cafuego, Frogzoo: could it be some hell in the kernel? a missing driver for via chipset or whatever like that?
[06:49] <edawg26> amar: did you bust out your 9 on it?
[06:49] <Frogzoo> rpc: if you run 'vmstat 5' & leave it a 20 secs - do you see '0' in the 'b' column or larger numbers ?

[06:50] <rpc> Frogzoo oh let me try, sounds interesting
[06:50] <cafuego_> rpc: Have a look though `dmesg' to see if there is anything odd
[06:50] <amar> guys i'm newbie to the world of linux.......
[06:50] <sean13> dabaR, the DVD is definitely not empty, i've checked it on a windows machine
[06:50] <cables> amar, if it's a commandline manager you're trying to use, you need sudo.

[06:50] <edawg26> amar: What command do you use to kill the process?
[06:50] <cables> amar, did it ask for your password when you went to the package manager?
[06:50] <hitmanWilly> amar: try killall
[06:50] <amar> no
[06:50] <rpc> Frogzoo 0-0-0-1-0-0
[06:50] <cables> amar, if you're trying to use synaptic, do alt-f2 then "gksudo synaptic" and see if that works
[06:50] <ChaosEddie> amar: superuser kill all. you need to tell the computer who's boss xD

[06:51] <rpc> Frogzoo i will remember that :) what does it tell about btw?
[06:51] <Kelbizzle> or get the default copy of one?
[06:51] <Frogzoo> rpc: that's the number of processes blocked waiting io
[06:52] <Frogzoo> rpc: it's possible your puter was doing something else - try copying again, & run vmstat at the same time
[06:52] <rpc> Frogzoo oh i read you
[06:52] <riskbreakr> hey guys. I installed ubuntu on a friend's computer, and he liked it, but wants me to set it up for dual-boot. Is there a way for me to install windows XP on his computer, without getting rid of GRUB?
[06:52] <amar> cables: when i used ur method i got dis error "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[06:52] <rpc> will do, thank you very much
[06:52] <riskbreakr> or at least, if i can't do that, then is there a way to reinstall GRUB after Windows XP manhandles it?
[06:52] <sigger> so what do you all use for IRC prog?  I like Konversation, but I'd like something that will not put the joins/quits/etc on the channel page
[06:52] <kitche> riskbreakr: have to reinstlal grub after installing windows
[06:52] <kitche> !grub | riskbreakr
[06:52] <ubotu> riskbreakr: 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

[06:53] <riskbreakr> thanks much =)
[06:53] <cables> amar, open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:53] <Frogzoo> sigger: irssi works

[06:55] <riskbreakr> question: would you recommend I use this? http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/grubinstall/

[06:56] <ChaosEddie> room: I keep getting errors from gaim about my sn being logged into 2 locations. im logged into my cousin's computer which is okay. everytime i get a message on gaim, it says that im signed into gaim in two location. another message will tell me im logged in at 3 locations. a message after that tells me im logged in at 4, etc. thoughts?
[06:56] <cables> amar, no problem
[06:56] <amar> then Y it was showing like dat...
[06:56] <ChaosEddie> cables: i miss what happened. what was the problem
[06:56] <riskbreakr> well... i am just trying to find a quick solution, i took a quick glance at the wiki page and it seems like the majority of the solutions provided are messy and long
[06:57] <cables> ChaosEddie, Synaptic didn't seem to be running as root at first. When run using gksudo, it said that an installation hadn't completed, so he needed to run "sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a"
[06:57] <cables> ChaosEddie, except it was --configure not --reconfigure
[06:57] <ChaosEddie> riskbreakr: back up the files, installwindows, reinstall ubuntu
[06:58] <dabaR> ChaosEddie: what an awesomely delightful solution
[06:58] <riskbreakr> well, that is longer and messier =)
[06:59] <riskbreakr> i'll try it the not-as-long and messy way then
[06:59] <riskbreakr> thanks a lot
[06:59] <dabaR> riskbreakr: good luck
[06:59] <rbil> riskbreakr: are far cleaner solution is install Ubuntu and wave goodbye to Windoze
[06:59] <nf4> do i need aigxl or glx to run beryl ?

[07:00] <dabaR> what are you asking?
[07:00] <nf4> i get beryl to run in gnome but when i log in to xgl and load beryl just white screen
[07:01] <sean13> anyone got any ideas for solutions on my problem?
[07:01] <dabaR> nf4: I think this page is the best way to start : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager
[07:01] <kvnx> which would ubuntu perform better on, a duron 800 with pc100 ram, or a via epia 600 with ddr ram?
[07:01] <ChaosEddie> sean13: what was it
[07:02] <amar>  i'm using 5.10 so i wanna upgrade it to 6.06 without using install CD.... i mean i wanna update manually by editing source list
[07:02] <dabaR> sean13: run mount in a termina, and pastebin it.
[07:02] <amar> can i do dat??
[07:02] <dabaR> !upgrade | amar
[07:02] <ubotu> amar: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:02] <amar> some ppl its not worth to do??
[07:02] <amar> *say
[07:02] <sean13> ChaosEddie, when I put in a dvd disk into my dvd drive(reader or writer) it will automatically bring up the dvd/cd creator program that comes with Ubuntu and tell me that the dvd is blank
[07:03] <sean13> dabaR, ok will do that now
[07:03] <dabaR> amar: some people say many things. Do you need anything from dapper
[07:03] <nf4> why upgread to 6.06 6.10  is newest i think
[07:03] <sk2> can anyone explain to me why I don't get a /usr/lib/nvidia directory when I install the nvidia drivers?
[07:03] <dabaR> nf4: yuo can not skip versions when upgrading
[07:03] <ChaosEddie> did you try the multimedia page?
[07:03] <cables> sk2, how are you installing them?
[07:04] <nf4> i see
[07:04] <amar> dabar: if we do like dat we will experience some pro......
[07:04] <sk2> cables: I ran the binary (with ncurses ui) from the Nvidia website, as well as using Envy
[07:04] <nf4> i alwasy start fresh is why i dont know that
[07:04] <theblue> Hi all.
[07:04] <dabaR> yes, amar, exactly.
[07:04] <jiminy> This may be a stupid question---I'm just getting installation started, and it's asking me for mount and swap partitions. Can I use the same partition for both?
[07:04] <sean13> ChaosEddie, multimedia page?
[07:04] <dabaR> jiminy: you can not.
[07:05] <amar> dabar: is it n't worth to do so??
[07:05] <dabaR> jiminy: you do not _have_ to have a swap, but it is better. Make another partition out of the empty partition.
[07:05] <ChaosEddie> !multimedia
[07:05] <ubotu> For multimedia codecs see: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html and for applications see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[07:05] <sean13> dabaR, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6063/
[07:05] <sean13> ChaosEddie, thanks will have a look at that page now
[07:06] <dabaR> amar: it is worth to do something if you have a reason to do so. Do yuo have a reason to upgrade?
[07:06] <jiminy> dabaR: Okay, cool. So, best to make a small partition for swap, and nothing else?
[07:06] <Frogzoo> jiminy: no way - swap needs to be separate - while you're at it, do yourself a favour & create a separate /home partition
[07:06] <theblue> Ugh.
[07:06] <dabaR> sean13: now, ls /media/cdrom0, and show the output of that.
[07:06] <Frogzoo> jiminy: 1gig for swap should be plenty
[07:06] <edawg26> can someone help me? My nautilus is bugged. I can't use the 'open with' command at all now. It keeps saying 'Could not add application to the application database
[07:06] <amar> dabar: reason is simple..... we will get the upgraded ver with some extra features......rite??
[07:07] <dabaR> jiminy: well, a swap the size of the RAM is nice. And Frogzoo makes a good point.
[07:07] <dabaR> amar: do you need the extra features?
[07:07] <jiminy> Frogzoo: (Sorry, coming over from Mac here) Does that mean one for the system, or one for my user folder? Or something different?
[07:07] <sean13> ChaosEddie, I don't think none of that will help me, all I am trying to do is read the data on this dvd disk, not play DVD's or anything like that.  The disk contains text files, jpegs(and other image formats) and such other files
[07:07] <sean13> dabaR, ok doing it now
[07:07] <kvnx> which would ubuntu perform better on, a duron 800 with pc100 ram, or a via epia 600 with ddr ram?
[07:07] <mzuverink> cafuego, I am assuming that you are the cat responsible for .debs that bear your name.  I am noticing that you have a gktpod v.0.99.8-0, and that you have no gtkpod-aac v.0.99.8-0.  Does the repo version support aac and you forgot to label as, or does not a beast exist?
[07:07] <sk2> anyone experienced with the nvidia drivers who could help with why I don
[07:07] <sk2> t get /usr/lib/nvidia?
[07:08] <Frogzoo> jiminy: let root '/' have 10-15gig + 1gig swap + rest for /home
[07:08] <amar> dabar:i think everyone needs extra features...!!?
[07:08] <dabaR> Do you want them more than you _need_ to have a usable computer...I mean, upgrading is nice, we are taught so from culture, but sometimes you have to be content with what you have.
[07:08] <sean13> dabaR, the items contained on the disk are listed
[07:09] <dabaR> kvnx: wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport may have some answers.
[07:09] <dabaR> sean13: use nautilus to view them.
[07:09] <edawg26> can someone help me? My nautilus is bugged. I can't use the 'open with' command at all now. It keeps saying 'Could not add application to the application database'. I don't know what caused this, except that I copied my home folder from one machine to another... is there a way to reset/clear out this 'application database'?
[07:09] <sean13> dabaR, yeah nautilus can see them now aswell
[07:09] <amar> k...... i understand ...... i will first learn dis one properly..... then i will go for upgrading it...
[07:09] <jiminy> Frogzoo: Okay, that makes sense.
[07:09] <dabaR> edawg26: try mv ~/.nautilus ~/.nautilus_old :-/
[07:10] <dabaR> sean13: nice.
[07:10] <jiminy> Thanks to Frogzoo & dabaR---off to install!
[07:10] <sean13> dabaR, thanks for the help
[07:10] <jiminy> \quit
[07:10] <jiminy> oops
[07:10] <amar> dabar: thanks dude...
[07:10] <Tode_I> What happens if I check the box next to every damn package in synaptic, so no matter what dependency it encounters, we got it covered?
[07:10] <sean13> dabaR, now any idea how to make it so that the default burning program doesn't automatically come up when I put in a disk?
[07:11] <sk2> Is there somewhere I can download the nvidia binary as source code?
[07:11] <dabaR> amar: I mean, you can upgrade, but you do not have to. I usually upgrade as soon as there is a new version, but then again, I can fix my computer when it breaks, I back up important data, and follow the instructions on the wiki. Given you satisfy that criteria, you could upgrade, yes.
[07:11] <edawg26> dabaR: no worky ;<. It didn't seem to make a difference, and my comp. didn't re-create .nautilus. So maybe its one of the .gnome* directories?
[07:11] <cables> sean13, go to System>Preferences>Removeable Drives and Media
[07:11] <cables> sk2, you kidding? It's completely closed source.
[07:11] <dabaR> edawg26: killall nautilus after you do that.
[07:11] <hitmanWilly> sk2: yeah, it sux
[07:12] <ChaosEddie> sean13: let me clear that up. your hardware sees the dvd being there, but the software wont show files. ROOM: what does this tell us? tell me becuase i dont know either
[07:12] <amar> dabar: thanx......
[07:12] <sk2> cables: that's what I thought, but I can't get anything in /usr/lib/nvidia... I suspect this is teh cause of my Beryl Whitescreen problems
[07:12] <_goofy_> whats the command to reconfigure xserver
[07:12] <cables> sk2, have you tried installing with the official guide?
[07:12] <cables> !nvidia | sk2
[07:12] <ubotu> sk2: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:13] <dabaR> !fixres > _goofy_
[07:13] <edawg26> dabaR: ok, I shouldda though of that. It reset stuff, reset icons on my desktop, but it did not fix the problem ;<.
[07:13] <sk2> Ok I'll try those
[07:13] <edawg26> dabaR: so I guess it's not a nautilus issue.
[07:13] <rbil> _goofy_: should be given at the top of your xorg.conf file
[07:13] <ChaosEddie> dabaR: my brother just became CC ubuntu member so now its my time to get on top of helping people.
[07:13] <ChaosEddie> even if i cant

[07:14] <sean13> ChaosEddie, yeah that's correct, my system shows the DVD as being there but it shows it as being empty
[07:14] <hitmanWilly> sean13: what did you burn it with?
[07:14] <edawg26> dabaR: I'm not 100% sure, sorry. A little noobies. I did the default ubuntu install so I am using gnome and everything. I guess nautilus goes along with that? All I know is that renaming the .nautilus & the killall nautilus didn't fix the problem
[07:15] <ChaosEddie> i have nooo idea. i think it may be an I/o fault but i dont know.
[07:15] <cables> sean13, did you get my previous message on how to prevent the burning program from coming up when you stick a blank disk in?
[07:15] <ChaosEddie> edawg26: kill all nautilus wont work
[07:15] <ChaosEddie> wrong command
[07:15] <dabaR> edawg26: do you right click on a file and then go open with, and select an app to open with?
[07:15] <ChaosEddie> i think its sudo kill nautilus
[07:15] <cables> ChaosEddie, you don't need the sudo there, unless you want root's nautilus killed.
[07:15] <sean13> cables, yeah sorry I forgot to reply to you, i've checked that option now but am waiting to finish copying the contents of the disk onto my hard drive before I can check what happens
[07:15] <cables> sean13, ok
[07:16] <ChaosEddie> cables: restarting the whole thing might work
[07:16] <sean13> hitmanWilly, I have no idea what it was burnt with, probably with nero or one of the other popular burning programs for windows
[07:16] <cables> edawg26, ChaosEddie suggested restarting... not a bad idea.
[07:17] <edawg26> dabaR:  It does not work no matter what I chose. Eg. I just chose a test file and told it to 'open with' the 'text editor'. Got the same error. Told an AVI to open with VLC. Got the same error.
[07:17] <sean13> hitmanWilly: I've read somewhere before that this might be because the disk was not finalised
[07:17] <hitmanWilly> sean13: that was my guess
[07:17] <cables> edawg26, my guess is that that info's stored in gconf.
[07:17] <dabaR> edawg26: go into properties, and then the open with, and see whether you can remove any of the entries. On a text file.
[07:18] <hitmanWilly> sean13: ive had that happen to me before
[07:18] <sean13> hitmanWilly, is there any way to change the settings in Ubuntu so it doesn't show the disk as empty just because it's not been finalised?
[07:18] <sean13> What did you do?
[07:18] <hitmanWilly> sean13: reburned it
[07:18] <crusoe_> I'm trying to setup samba.  everything works fine, I can connect to the server using username and password but i also want to be able to access it using no user and pw, but with limited permissions (they can't delete files)
[07:18] <edawg26> dabaR: the 'remove' button is greyed out.
[07:19] <edawg26> dabaR: like I said, the way I got here was I copied my old home directory over my new one... I dunno if that helps...
[07:19] <hitmanWilly> sean13: if i remember right, there's a setting when you burn with xp that keeps it readable(in Xp) and not finalized
[07:20] <kondor2> i have had this problem with my set top dvd recorder and my pc, it will read only in the one it was made in if not finalised
[07:20] <sean13> hitmanWilly, Thanks for that but that's not really an option for me, I don't burn these disks, I get them sent to me every week and really don't want to reburn them everytime I get them
[07:20] <gortba> someone help...I went on the internet to search the forums for a command to view my hard drive space. Low and behold, the first search brough up a forum which said to type rm -rf in the command line. What did I do? My system won't work anymore :(
[07:20] <ChaosEddie> ! -rf
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <ChaosEddie> !-rf
[07:20] <ChaosEddie> hmm
[07:21] <hitmanWilly> sean13: sorry. that's the only way i know of to fix it
[07:21] <gortba> ChaosEddie??
[07:21] <sean13> hitmanWilly, no problem thanks for the help though
[07:21] <yell0w>   gortba oops!
[07:21] <rbil> crusoe_: look at how [printer$]  section is setup, specifically  using guest ok = yes, read only =yes, should do it
[07:21] <ChaosEddie> gortba: sorry, let me check out the internet
[07:21] <ChaosEddie> where did you type this in? terminal?
[07:21] <cables> gortba, rm -rf removes everything from the folder you're in
[07:21] <crusoe_> rbil: why printer$?
[07:21] <cables> ChaosEddie, ^^
[07:22] <yell0w> gortba, which folder were you at ?
[07:22] <gortba> Oh Great.
[07:22] <rbil> cursoe_: just as an example
[07:22] <gortba> umm
[07:22] <cables> gortba, if you were in home folder (that's the default) then it deleted the entire home folder.
[07:22] <ChaosEddie> cables: shorthand for RemoveFolder?
[07:22] <cables> ChaosEddie, not even close :)
[07:22] <gortba> I'm not sure
[07:22] <gortba> I think I was in /proc
[07:22] <rbil> crusoe_: you want the share to be browseable, allow guest and have it read only
[07:22] <dabaR> ChaosEddie: Your brother is a new member of what again? CC? What is that?
[07:23] <cables> ChaosEddie, rm = remove, r = recursive, f = force
[07:23] <gortba> So is there anyway to restore the system. I can't even boot it back up
[07:23] <dabaR> gortba: you are serious about this?
[07:24] <sigger> Frogzoo: ok, trying irssi now, but was hoping for something a little less VT; a little more GUI. any recommendations?
[07:24] <Black4lpha> hmm, maybe someone can help me with this, my monitor will randomly goto "frequency out of range" screen when im in 1024 x 728 res and seems to not let me use a refresh rate lower of 60hz or lower(which my monitor can can only support on 1024x728)
[07:24] <gortba> Yes dabaR
[07:24] <dabaR> gortba: show me the forum where you found this, please.
[07:24] <ChaosEddie> a sec
[07:24] <gortba> I'm a newbie using linux

[07:26] <cables> gortba, can you just tell me what it was about? I'm trying to look for it now.
[07:27] <dabaR> gortba: we will mount the other partition, and see what is left. pleased post the output of sudo fdisk -l to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:27] <ChaosEddie> what am i talking about? he's an ubuntu member, someone who has shown a very substantial promotion/help of ubuntu. i think there are roughly 150 or so. if I understand it correctly
[07:27] <rbil> crusoe_ and you restarted smb after making changes to smb.conf?

[07:27] <crusoe_> rbil: ye[
[07:27] <crusoe_> yep*
[07:27] <rbil> sorry, have to leave here. hopefully you'll get it sorted out.
[07:27] <gortba> cables...you got it?
[07:27] <ndlovu> dabaR, it should be in a temp directory somewhere?
[07:27] <cables> gortba, that looks like some dumbass put rm -rf / as his signature
[07:28] <cables> gortba, they weren't telling you to do that, but I can see how someone could make the mistake. Pretty stupid to put that as a signature, though
[07:28] <dabaR> ndlovu: maybe /tmp...
[07:28] <gortba> Oh jeeze :(
[07:29] <cables> gortba, I'm going to go yell at him. But first I have to register on the forums.
[07:29] <dabaR> nice.
[07:29] <cables> gortba, did you do rm -rf or rm -rf / ?
[07:29] <ndlovu> dabaR, I've looked there, but I fear it gets cleared when the computer starts up :(
[07:29] <dilch> no one would do rm -rf /
[07:29] <dilch> not even if they were told to
[07:29] <koregaonpark> Ahoy, fellow Ubuntu users. How do I mount my slave HD in Ubuntu Edgy?
[07:29] <cables> dilch, linux newbs who don't know what it does and see it on a forum would.
[07:29] <ndlovu> dabaR, I should be able to get there from firefox's history
[07:29] <koregaonpark> The GUI option seems to be gone.
[07:30] <dabaR> And...that particular thing does not work in Ubuntu, cause you can not su
[07:30] <dilch> cables then they should never use a *nix again
[07:30] <dilch> ever
[07:30] <dabaR> ndlovu: try work offline, and then the history...
[07:30] <gortba> cables.. actually I did it with the file system root /
[07:30] <gortba> I'm screwed
[07:30] <cables> dilch, shut up...
[07:30] <dilch> i have ruled on the matter. Next!
[07:30] <cables> gortba, you used sudo?
[07:30] <ndlovu> dabaR, good thought!
[07:30] <dilch> cables don't question my authority, you insolent swine.
[07:30] <gortba> yes
[07:30] <dabaR> koregaonpark: sudo fdisk -l will show you all the hard disks mounted, if you post that to pastebin, I will give you a command to mount it.
[07:31] <cables> gortba, you're screwed, and everything's gone. I hope you had a backup.
[07:31] <koregaonpark> dabaR, Pastebin?
[07:31] <dabaR> gortba: show us sudo fdisk -l on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:31] <dabaR> koregaonpark: ^
[07:31] <cables> dilch, how the hell was he to know what that would do?
[07:31] <dilch> if he was dumb enough to do the forced remove, then it probably isn't a mission critical machine
[07:31] <dabaR> dilch: easy.
[07:31] <gortba> dabaR I did it. It's pasted
[07:31] <cables> dabaR, he sudo rm -rf /'d.
[07:31] <RYUTAZA> Hello
[07:31] <dilch> just re-install, and learn what commands you are typing in
[07:31] <koregaonpark> dabaR, gotcha.
[07:32] <dabaR> gortba: give me a link, please.
[07:32] <RYUTAZA> Wow!!
[07:32] <cables> dabaR, i have it, hold on
[07:32] <cables> dabaR, some asshole put it as his sig and made it look like instructions
[07:32] <dabaR> I looked at the link.

[07:33] <koregaonpark> dabaR, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6066/
[07:33] <dilch> big deal, he got sucked in. I'm betting he never does it again, nor accepts typing random commands into his console
[07:33] <cables> dabaR, sorry, thought you were talking about something else
[07:33] <dabaR> gortba: now also show output of mount on a pastebin.
[07:33] <RYUTAZA> ubuntu have version portable ?
[07:33] <gortba> dabaR: what?
[07:34] <cables> dabaR, he RM -RF /'d! how the hell will that help?
[07:34] <kondor2> talking of which, what do you guys reckon the best way to make a backup of your current system is?
[07:34] <dabaR> koregaonpark: sudo mkdir /media/hdb1;sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1;ls /media/hdb1, tell me whether you see your files after that.
[07:34] <ChaosEddie> RYUTAZA: you mean a bootable enviornment? from say... a USB drive?
[07:34] <deep> Hi there. :) I am getting the source of a stable version of gaim (since im running the alpha version of ubuntu, and gaim just crashes), how can i prevent apt to update gaim in the future?
[07:34] <cables> dabaR, gortba, sorry... I'm a bit annoyed. There may be an "undelete" sorta thing for Ext3, not sure though.
[07:34] <cables> gortba, how important is the data on the drive?
[07:34] <mark___> kondor2: depends.  could be dd for smaller stuff.  I use rsync for data/music
[07:34] <dabaR> gortba: run "mount" in a terminal, and show the output on a pastebin, please.
[07:35] <cables> dilch, why are you in this channel if you have that attitude?
[07:35] <RYUTAZA> yes
[07:35] <ndlovu> any idea how to debug power management problems on a laptop? battery status only seems to be checked at startup - after that you're on your own.
[07:35] <gortba> Well, there's a lot of stuff on there that I feel I need cables
[07:35] <cables> dabaR, shouldn't it be "sudo mount"?
[07:35] <dilch> cables i have told you to never question my authority in front of the others again. Thank you.
[07:35] <RYUTAZA> I want it
[07:35] <dabaR> cables: it is best to ignore people that yiou find annoying. Only post in attempt to help the person you are speaking to is a good rule.

[07:37] <ndlovu> Frogzoo, thanks, but it doesn't seem to be updating. there are no battery low warnings and definitely no shutdown process when battery level is critical
[07:38] <dilch> RYUTAZA if you are looking for a 'portable' linux, i would recommend something like puppylinux or damn small linux on a usb stick
[07:38] <dabaR> koregaonpark: do you get any output from ls /media/hdb1?
[07:38] <dilch> RYUTAZA a live ubuntu disk is overkill for this
[07:38] <koregaonpark> dabaR, yes. Would you like to see it?
[07:38] <dabaR> dilch: you can insatll ubuntu on a USB. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation shows how.
[07:38] <dabaR> koregaonpark: shows the right files?
[07:39] <cables> dilch, my guess is that you got burned by rm -rf / in your *nix newb days and are just bitter.
[07:39] <dilch> dabaR yes, i know. As i said, ubuntu for this purpose may be overkill

[07:39] <dilch> cables my *nix newb days were over 20 years ago. And no, i never got 'burned' by typing random commands
[07:39] <yettenet> I just added entries to crontab, but I might've done something wrong
[07:40] <dilch> cables but, i *have* had to learn some things the hard way. He just learned something the hard way. He'll never forget it.
[07:40] <yell0w> yettenet, what does crontab -l give you ?
[07:40] <dabaR> gortba: "sudo mkdir /media/hda1;sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1;ls /media/hda1", post output to pastebin, pleae.

[07:41] <yell0w> yettenet, when do you want that to run ?
[07:41] <dilch> dabaR better to do "sudo mkdir /media/hda1 && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 && ls /mdedia/hda1"
[07:41] <yettenet> Az 7:35 every day except saturday
[07:41] <dabaR> koregaonpark: killall gnome-panel will restart your computer menu. Try that, please.
[07:41] <cafuego_> yettenet: that won't work, amarok is an X application and needs various env variables set (that aren't set in cron's environment)
[07:41] <dabaR> dilch: good point.
[07:41] <yettenet> Oh, I see
[07:41] <yettenet> Is there any way around?
[07:42] <dilch> dabaR does he know what filesystem he is working with?
[07:42] <koregaonpark> dabaR, okay, one minute.
[07:42] <cafuego_> yettenet: You could run wrapper script that sets $DISPLAY
[07:42] <Asl[a] n> dabaR, what does that shortcut do?
[07:42] <Asl[a] n> nothign happens
[07:42] <dabaR> dilch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6065/
[07:42] <cafuego_> and have the wrapper start amarok
[07:42] <dilch> ok
[07:42] <yettenet> Um... I don't know what a wrapper script is...
[07:42] <ardchoille> yettenet: There is no "7" in crontab, The days of the week are 0 - 6
[07:42] <dabaR> Asl[a] n: hold down alt, ctrl, and f4 together...
[07:42] <yettenet> Neither do I know about sDISPLAY :)
[07:42] <koregaonpark> dabaR, ran the killall command, still nothing in Computer.
[07:42] <yettenet> Hm
[07:43] <koregaonpark> dabaR, logging out and back in.
[07:43] <koregaonpark> BRB
[07:44] <lorderunion> hi. i've got a weird problem with kde and gnome. i set kde as my default window manager/desktop environment, so when my computer boots up, it shows the Kubuntu screen
[07:44] <lorderunion> i log in and then it loads gnome instead.
[07:44] <lorderunion> any dieas?
[07:44] <dabaR> lorderunion: is there a sessions chooser on kdm?
[07:44] <gortba> dabaR: Here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6069/
[07:44] <unop> lorderunion,  try changing sessions
[07:44] <yell0w> yettenet, best if you do a shell script involving amarok and let the script run in crontab
[07:44] <lorderunion> ok
[07:45] <lorderunion> brb
[07:45] <dabaR> gortba: did you have fedora core on that hard disk?

[07:45] <gortba> umm...
[07:45] <gortba> actually a while back I tryed to install fedora core 6

[07:45] <deep> Hi there. :) I am getting the source of a stable version of gaim (since im running the alpha version of ubuntu, and gaim just crashes), how can i prevent apt to update gaim in the future?
[07:45] <newest007> giday, erm, anyone know of any decent widgets for the gnome desktop... im reaally struggling to see why i dont get KDE instead of gnome, gnome is so.. bland
[07:45] <niru> hello all
[07:46] <deep> Hi (:
[07:46] <niru> is ubuntu providing jre package in cd
[07:46] <ardchoille> yettenet: If you want to run an X app in tty7, the command in crontab should be: 00 04 * * * env DISPLAY=:0. /path/if/needed/command_here
[07:46] <niru> deep:hello
[07:46] <dabaR> deep: uninstall gaim. use checkinstall to install the source.
[07:46] <lorderunion> that worked perfectly. thank you.
[07:46] <ardchoille> yettenet: Edit the "00 04 * * *" as desired
[07:46] <cables> dilch, I'm not apologizing to you on the channel like you requested... don't feel superior just because you can tell what a command will do better than someone who's never used a *nix shell before.
[07:46] <unop> niru,  no, java has a license that goes against ubuntu's policy of providing 100% free software
[07:46] <deep> Ah, well the source crashed too, so ill just have to live with the buggy gaim. ^^
[07:47] <dabaR> gortba: "sudo umount /dev/hda1;sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/hda1;ls /media/hda1", show us the output again, please.
[07:47] <niru> unop:but jre has become free
[07:47] <newest007> actually, how do i update GTK?
[07:47] <dabaR> unop: java is gpl now.
[07:47] <gortba> ok
[07:47] <dilch> cables enough. This is not the place for you to continue petty arguements
[07:47] <yell0w> niru, you can get jre through apt-get
[07:47] <IcemanV9> what? java is gpl?
[07:47] <ChaosEddie> deep: what do you mean?
[07:47] <unop> !info sun-java5-jre
[07:47] <ubotu> sun-java5-jre: Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 7279 kB, installed size 16132 kB
[07:47] <dabaR> for now...
[07:48] <patrick> hey does anyone have a working creative zen v with gnomad2, i couldn't get it to install properly
[07:48] <deep> ChaosEddie, well, something like "gaim always crashes" ^^
[07:48] <ChaosEddie> mmhm
[07:48] <ChaosEddie> which version, release etc?
[07:48] <niru> yellOw:thats true but I want to give it in cd for my users can i give
[07:48] <ChaosEddie> did you try reinstall?
[07:48] <cables> dilch, you just asked me to make a public apology to you... that's not going to happen, and I'm going to end this now.
[07:48] <jussi01> !anyone | patrick
[07:48] <ubotu> patrick: 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?
[07:49] <deep> ChaosEddie, well, first i had the one from repos, the lates ofc. But that didnt work, so i downloaded 1.5
[07:49] <patrick> jussi01 what do you mean,
[07:49] <deep> but that chrashes at start, so the ones from repos was better. :D
[07:49] <yell0w> niru, i'm not sure if it's in the official cd, i'm thinking not
[07:49] <unop> dabaR,  are you sure it's the GPL and not this http://www.java.com/en/download/license.jsp ?
[07:49] <patrick> i'm having trouble installing gnomad, from a guide online because the packaged version is not compatable with the zen v
[07:49] <yettenet> ardchoille: I'm gonna give it a go
[07:50] <ardchoille> ardchoille: Let me know if it works :)
[07:50] <dabaR> unop: ya, pretty sure java was gpl'ed recently. It may take a while to get it out of multiverse, but I expect it to happen.
[07:50] <ardchoille> yettenet:  Let me know if it works :)
[07:50] <ardchoille> UGH! Can't believe I'm talking to myself here.
[07:50] <gortba> dabaR: The command line is telling me to specify the filesystem type
[07:50] <dabaR> unop: google will have some articles, if you hit 'em up.
[07:50] <ChaosEddie> deep: i end up on a live cd about once a week at least, so gaim bugs/crashed dont really effect me
[07:51] <yell0w> niru, you might want to read this http://www.livedistro.org/resources/documentation/howtos/ubuntu-install-cd-customization?PHPSESSID=3a42f5a7d96563cffa4976a12f1c4489
[07:51] <jussi01> patrick: Im not sure about your mp3 player - maybe ask in a little while again - or try the forum
[07:51] <yettenet> We're gonna know it in less than 10 secs
[07:51] <yettenet> :P
[07:51] <gortba> dabaR: What does that mean?
[07:52] <yettenet> Works like charm
[07:52] <yettenet> Thanks :)
[07:52] <yettenet> btw
[07:52] <yettenet> What does those extra parameters do?
[07:52] <yettenet> *do
[07:52] <yettenet> It's quite early in the morning :P
[07:52] <yell0w> niru, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization is the source of that link btw
[07:52] <yell0w> =))
[07:52] <dabaR> Who knows what fs type is lvm?
[07:53] <patrick> jussi01 i tried the form, thats where i got the guide but when i installed gnomad from source it didnt compile it correctly and then when i used the make command it wouldnt do it
[07:53] <niru> yellOw:ok
[07:53] <dabaR> gortba: is the other ubuntu on the same hard disk, or on the other hard disk?
[07:53] <ardchoille> yettenet: Which extra params?
[07:53] <yettenet> "env DISPLAY=:0."
[07:53] <gortba> dabaR: I'm sorry..I think it's on another hard drive
[07:53] <gortba> I have two hdd
[07:53] <ardchoille> yettenet: The env DISPLAY=:0. ?
[07:54] <jussi01> patrick: have you installed build- essential?
[07:54] <RamiKassab> hey guys has anyone had any luck setting up a Diamond Stealth III S540 (Savage) video card to run a 1440 x 900 resolution? I did some googling and there seems to be issues with dri support for these cards but they should be capable of a 1440 x 900 resolution? There's 32 MB onboard. Any ideas? Thanks guys!
[07:54] <ardchoille> yettenet: Oh, that just lets cron know you want to launch the command/script in a certain env.
[07:54] <dabaR> gortba: how about "sudo mount /dev/hdb2 /media/hda1;ls /media/hda1" post the output of that to the pastebvin, please.
[07:54] <yettenet> oh :)
[07:54] <gortba> Ok one sec...
[07:54] <dynamicreflux> is anyone else having issues with the taskbar and the icons changing size randomly?
[07:55] <unop> dabaR,  if i understand it right, an LVM is an accumulation of different physical volumes which can then be split up into partitions, it's those partitions that have FSes not the actual logical volume (i think, not sure)
[07:56] <IcemanV9> there is NO text replace feature in xchat-gnome :( ... i created replace.conf file - nope, it does not work
[07:56] <gortba> dabaR: Here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6070/
[07:56] <yell0w> IcemanV9, there's also xchat2 =))
[07:56] <dilch> IcemanCZ incidently, xchat-gnome blows goats .. use the xchat
[07:56] <gortba> dabaR: Thanks for doing all this...
[07:56] <IcemanV9> haha. jeez. too easy.
[07:56] <zues> BitchX
[07:56] <jussi01> !anyone | dynamicreflux
[07:56] <ubotu> dynamicreflux: 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?
[07:56] <dilch> irssi
[07:56] <ChaosEddie> well if i read that correctly, he IcemanV9 is using GNOME. thats the problem right there
[07:56] <yell0w> IcemanV9, it works (TM)
[07:56] <yell0w> =))
[07:56] <dilch> if you want console
[07:57] <IcemanV9> lol ChaosEddie .. very good ;)
[07:57] <dynamicreflux> jussi01: im confused, that WAS my question???
[07:57] <dabaR> gortba: now, "ls /media/hda1/etc/fstab" show that on a pastebin, please.
[07:57] <dynamicreflux> im trying to see if its normal or not jussi01
[07:57] <dabaR> gortba: actually...
[07:57] <yell0w> ChaosEddie, what's wrong with gnome ? ;(
[07:58] <theblue> Is there a graphical launcher for QEMU in Edgy?
[07:58] <ChaosEddie> KDE
[07:58] <dabaR> gortba: "cat /media/hda1/etc/fstab;cat /media/hda1/etc/issue"
[07:58] <ndlovu> any idea how to work with gconf? I see a few xml files, but not sure if there's some nifty way to edit them?
[07:58] <gortba> dabaR: It says no such file or directory
[07:58] <dabaR> for both?
[07:59] <yell0w> ChaosEddie, exactly, what's wrong with gnome ? ;(  ;(  ;(
[07:59] <gortba> no..
[07:59] <dabaR> gortba: oh, ya, you don't have etc.
[07:59] <gortba> I didnt see the second one
[07:59] <yettenet> yell0w: It's slow :)
[07:59] <gortba> hang on
[07:59] <yell0w> yettenet, slower than kde ? !_!
[07:59] <yettenet> yell0w: Both are slow compared to xfce :)
[07:59] <yell0w> kde's always been the fat kid hasn't he ?
[08:00] <yettenet> I didn't say KDE isn't slow :P
[08:00] <dabaR> gortba: now "sudo umount /dev/hdb2 sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hda1;ls /media/hda1" post the output of that to the pastebvin, please.
[08:00] <goban> how do you choose your java version
[08:00] <yell0w> yettenet, i don't like rodents ; )
[08:00] <RoboSheep> KDE has always been the fat bars you mean...
[08:01] <yettenet> Well, I don't know what rodents are and I don't like prejudicing things... so I like them :P
[08:01] <dabaR> goban: man update-alternatives. or try update-alternatives java in a termianl
[08:01] <IcemanV9> !offtopic
[08:01] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:01] <yell0w> yettenet, i prefer a big fat foot on my desktop =P
[08:01] <yettenet> I see
[08:01] <yell0w> IcemanV9, lol ok , i'm going to bed anyway, g'night guys
[08:01] <yettenet> Well, you're still better than those who wish for that kind of foot in their face :P
[08:01] <MyGhetek> hey guys, how do i search for a directory called "egroupware" from command line?
[08:02] <dabaR> goban: update-alternatives --display java shows the current java used.
[08:02] <IcemanV9> theblue: i don't think so, but virtualbox does the gui thing
[08:02] <gortba> dabaR: Looks like Windows http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6071/
[08:02] <theblue> IcemanV9: Ok, thanks.
[08:02] <yettenet> I'm goddamn hungry
[08:03] <dabaR> gortba: sure does.
[08:03] <yettenet> Can I make my system order some food for me?
[08:03] <IcemanV9> MyGhetek: whereis OR locate
[08:03] <theblue> yettenet: Yes, you can!
[08:03] <yettenet> I want to! :)
[08:03] <theblue> yettenet: Google for "Pizza Party"
[08:03] <yettenet> Thanks, MyGhetek
[08:03] <yettenet> Oh
[08:03] <dabaR> gortba: now "sudo umount /dev/hdb1 sudo mount /dev/hdb3 /media/hda1;ls /media/hda1" post the output of that to the pastebvin, please.
[08:03] <RamiKassab> guys, any ideas on my question above?
[08:03] <RamiKassab> hey guys has anyone had any luck setting up a Diamond Stealth III S540 (Savage) video card to run a 1440 x 900 resolution? I did some googling and there seems to be issues with dri support for these cards but they should be capable of a 1440 x 900 resolution? There's 32 MB onboard. Any ideas? Thanks guys!
[08:03] <gortba> ok
[08:03] <RamiKassab> I'd appreciate any help
[08:03] <RamiKassab> this has been frustrating the living heck out of me
[08:04] <RamiKassab> I've searched as much as I can and can't find anything
[08:04] <yettenet> Damn, man, that's rock hard
[08:04] <theblue> How do I suggest that a package be included in Ubuntu?
[08:05] <ardchoille> MyGhetek: That'd be one messy dcc, lol
[08:05] <yettenet> :)
[08:05] <gortba> dabaR: It says you must specify filesystem type
[08:05] <jussi01> RamiKassab: sorry mate, I have no idea - but keep trying, dont be discouraged - someone is bound to know some time
[08:05] <ardchoille> ndlovu: Wait until you learn that you can set and get those settings via CLI ;)
[08:05] <yettenet> MyGhetek: If you cant put it directly through the window, get around it
[08:06] <MyGhetek> yettenet: any  way to get your pizza right?
[08:06] <meisam> hi, how can i check if tomcat 5.5 is working proeprly?
[08:06] <ardchoille> ndlovu: man gconftool-2
[08:06] <yettenet> MyGhetek: fedEX
[08:06] <dabaR> gortba: you deleted all your files that matter, unless you had something on an apache web server on that installation of ubuntu. Sorry.
[08:06] <dynamicreflux> is it normal for windows in the task bar to change sizes randomly and not fixed?
[08:06] <MyGhetek> haha
[08:07] <ardchoille> dynamicreflux: I see them sometimes dependent on the title in the app's titlebar.
[08:07] <cables> dynamicreflux, that bugs me too... it's probably a weird way that they programmed it
[08:07] <RamiKassab> jussi01: I can't find anything on it :( I have this beautiful 19" widescreen and it's not being put to use on my linux nachine
[08:07] <RamiKassab> machine
[08:07] <RamiKassab> jussi01: can't even go past 1024 x 768 res?!
[08:07] <dabaR> gortba: how important were those files? YOu can maybe get some local linux group to take a look at it if it was very important.
[08:07] <dynamicreflux> ardchoille: it used to be where if i had just one application, it would span across the whole bar...now its COMPLETELY random
[08:07] <RoboSheep> I can't get my HP psc 2175 to scan, it prints just fine.
[08:07] <cables> ardchoille, but all of them change, not just the one whose title changed.
[08:07] <yettenet> MyGhetek: Try hashing the pizza and paste its code
[08:07] <unop> theblue,  this might help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement
[08:07] <RamiKassab> jussi01: this is a 32MB 3d accelerated video card
[08:07] <gortba> dabaR: Man that sucks. I guess I should learn to use the command line before I mess with it. Thanks for helping me out.
[08:07] <theblue> unop: Thanks.
[08:08] <ardchoille> cables: Yes, they all try to change to appear consistant, rather than one be long and another short.
[08:08] <meisam> dabaR hi im back :) sorry can i ask something
[08:08] <dabaR> gortba: you are welcome. ALways check with someone else when running commands with sudo! Like this in a channel is good.
[08:08] <dabaR> meisam: did that install the plugin for you?
[08:08] <gortba> dabaR: Not too important. Life would have been easier though.
[08:08] <yettenet> Um, btw.. where can I change my default charset?
[08:08] <meisam> dabaR yes yesss
[08:08] <dabaR> meisam: sweet.
[08:08] <meisam> dabaR can i ask something else
[08:08] <hitmanWilly> RoboSheep: do you have xsane installed?
[08:08] <RonnyMnemonic> \quit
[08:08] <dabaR> I install taht way, it is easier. Except when it is something custom.
[08:08] <ardchoille> dynamicreflux , cables You can right click on that applet and change the size, BTW
[08:09] <dabaR> !ask | meisam
[08:09] <ubotu> meisam: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:09] <dabaR> ;)
[08:09] <jussi01> RamiKassab:have you tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:09] <gortba> dabaR: Sure thing. I will always check with you guys first. Thanks for all of your help and time.
[08:09] <dabaR> gortba: welcome.
[08:09] <dynamicreflux> change the size in the taskbar?
[08:09] <ardchoille> yes
[08:09] <cables> ardchoille, I know, and I understand the consistency thing, but it's still sorta weird about the sizes it ends up as.
[08:09] <yettenet> Asking to ask for help on a support channel is one of the most useless questions in the world
[08:09] <dabaR> yettenet: along with your sentence.
[08:09] <ardchoille> cables: Oh, I agree, it's annoying at times.
[08:10] <yettenet> Yup :)
[08:10] <dabaR> :-P
[08:10] <meisam> dabaR the tomcat 5.5 is installed and comes up on 8081 port properly but the jsp examples do not seem to be compiled corrctly i mean u see the java codes in ur jsp pages, how can i check iftocat is working and configured properly
[08:10] <goban> im trying to change to a 1680X1050 resolution, my XORG.CONF screen is here, what do i change?http://pastebin.com/881940
[08:10] <meisam> ?
[08:10] <gortba> catch you guys later
[08:10] <jussi01> bye gorba
[08:11] <dabaR> meisam: you can follow the tutorial, to do the test thing they show there. Tomcat is something I have not played much with, though, but I have a friend that has:)
[08:11] <newest007> hey how do i resize the fonts for panels?  the default is faaar too small!
[08:11] <meisam> dabaR i have searched alot...im stuck here no idea any moreee
[08:11] <dabaR> newest007: maybe under fonts in system>prefs.
[08:11] <newest007> for example, the top panel which contains applications, places, system etc, i can barely see them
[08:12] <edawg26> dabaR: thanks for your help! turns out my .local directory had somehow been taken over by Root.  I definitely never did that... in any case u lead me to the right answer. Thanks! (I'm the guy with the messed up 'open with' junk)
[08:12] <dabaR> meisam: did you do the test app they show on the tomcat tutorial?
[08:12] <ChaosEddie> newest007: is it resolution?
[08:12] <dabaR> edawg26: I remember, good work.
[08:12] <ChaosEddie> awesome he left
[08:12] <dabaR> haha!
[08:12] <edawg26> dabaR: cause it'd be a shame to boot back into vista ^^.
[08:12] <wazz1> Were is the frame buffer screen resolution setup in Dapper?
[08:12] <dabaR> edawg26: *nod*

[08:16] <RamiKassab> jussi01: do you think using the standard vesa driver may help?
[08:17] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: little RAM memory? ;)
[08:17] <xerophyte>  if you have screen windows within screen how can you deattach the inside screen  [screen1 [screen2]  ]  i want to detattach the screen2?
[08:17] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: I have 768 MB of ram
[08:17] <jussi01> RamiKassab: maybe - give it a try, Im not 100%
[08:17] <jussi01> you can always change it back
[08:17] <RamiKassab> jussi01: ok I will, doubt it will help though :(
[08:18] <BHSPitMonkey> okay
[08:18] <Spo8> Hi, I have a bit of a crisis here.  I chose the re-size main (windows install) partition option when installing ubuntu but then once the installation finished and I restarted, I got something similar to "DISK READ ERROR. INSERT SYSTEM DISK."  So now not only is my new linux partition not working, but I can no longer get to the menu where I can choose to but into windows.  Can anyone offer some advice?
[08:19] <BHSPitMonkey> so when I use "connect to server..." to connect to a WebDAV share and create a little icon to it on my desktop, is that getting mounted locally somewhere? Or is nautilus just acting as a browser?  I'd like to have programs interacting with the files there, but there's no hope of that unless the share gets mounted locally somewhere.
[08:19] <dabaR> Spo8: boot live CD, go from there, are you talking from another computer?
[08:20] <dabaR> BHSPitMonkey: maybe you can run mount to see whether it is mounted.
[08:20] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: I have 768 MB of ram (254/768)
[08:20] <thor_> i have problem turning on direct acceleration on radeon 9200 pro. Does anyone know how can i do it ?
[08:20] <dabaR> !ati > thor_
[08:20] <BHSPitMonkey> dabaR, tried that, didn't see anything.
[08:20] <thor_> dadaR: yes ati
[08:20] <Spo8> dabaR: No, I rebooted on the liveCD and am talking from the computer in question.  It works fine booting from CD, but now I guess it's set to default to ubuntu's multiple OS selection screen instead of the windows one, which I would be fine with, but ubuntu is crashing the second it switches over from BIOS.
[08:21] <dabaR> BHSPitMonkey: maybe you need to mount it then manually if you want to have it mounted. Maybe the ubuntu wiki or help site have info on webDAV
[08:21] <tcpip> can k3b be installed in gnome?
[08:21] <BHSPitMonkey> tcpip, absolutely.
[08:21] <dabaR> Spo8: mount the partitions with Ubuntu and windows, and see whether there is anything on them.
[08:21] <dabaR> !mount > Spo8
[08:22] <tcpip> BHSPitMonkey: gnomebaker took half an hour to burn a 4 gb data dvd.. is that normal
[08:22] <grte_> Does anybody know if there's an app that converts pdf into something viewable in the console?
[08:22] <Spo8> dabaR: so in the terminal, it's !mount C?  sorry, i'm a complete linux noob here.
[08:22] <Steil> how can I find out if my computer is bugged?
[08:22] <tcpip> BHSPitMonkey: thats why i thgt of switching
[08:22] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: yeah. that is not the problem.  i dunno why it does spike when loading a page.
[08:22] <paitken> hello all.  i'm having an issue installing ubuntu.  i've tried 6.10 and 7.0 -- I get block errors with 6.1 and on 7, it gets passed the loading screen...then my video looks foobar'd.  THe mouse is just a block of noise...
[08:22] <dabaR> Spo8: read private messages from ubotu, ask more if unclear.
[08:23] <thor_> i have problem turning on direct acceleration on ati radeon 9200 pro. Does anyone know how can i do it ?
[08:23] <Spo8> dabaR: okay, thank you.
[08:23] <BHSPitMonkey> tcpip, anything you get from the ubuntu software repos will (in theory) work, regardless of desktop environment.  I use k3b, I prefer it.   That time doesn't sound unreasonable; it takes me a long time to burn DVD's, too.
[08:23] <dabaR>  neat
[08:23] <tcpip> BHSPitMonkey: thanks
[08:23] <dabaR> grte_: your package manager does. aptitude search pdf
[08:24] <grte_> Did that, didn't come up with anything relevant.
[08:24] <dabaR> grte_: I find it is not very usable, but try it.
[08:24] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: yea, probably kernel upgraded in breezy.. let me msg you in prvmsg
[08:24] <dabaR> grte_: aptitude search pdftohtml
[08:25] <grte_> Okay, thanks.
[08:25] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: it would be a good idea to say it here; more people can provide solutions/answers to the problem 
[08:26] <paitken> anyone?
[08:26] <RoboSheep> I can't get my HP psc 2175 to scan, it prints just fine. I have sane and hplib installed
[08:27] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: you can choose the older kernel when you boot up your box (i'm sure you have two or three different version of linux in your grub)
[08:27] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: then see if it does spike when it loads a webpage or not.
[08:27] <cables> PwcrLinux, did wireless or graphics break after a kernel update or something?
[08:28] <ndlovu> any suggestions for a good vnc client? gnome-rdp?
[08:28] <PwcrLinux> Cables, the current kernel in breezy:
[08:28] <sancho21> Does Anybody know the best source to create key using openssl? I've been googling and trying to do what those documents said but I still can't have my intention done
[08:28] <ndlovu> vncviewer?
[08:29] <keithhhhh> how do I search the entire drive for a file??
[08:29] <unop> ndlovu,  i like tsclient -- it handles VNC, RDP and a few other protocols
[08:29] <unop> keithhhhh,  via the GUI or command line?
[08:29] <keithhhhh> either
[08:29] <PwcrLinux> cables: even my DVD player show Demuxer missing, I had the DVD player working fine before the kernel upgrades
[08:30] <unop> commad line : locate file   or  find / -name "*file*"
[08:30] <ndlovu> unop, thanks
[08:30] <cables> PwcrLinux, make sure linux-restricted-modules`uname -r` is installed
[08:31] <PwcrLinux> cables: in the breezy? how?
[08:31] <cables> PwcrLinux, "aptitude show linux-restricted-modules`uname -r` | grep State" will tell you if it's installed
[08:31] <ndlovu> ooh, tsclient already installed. how cool.
[08:31] <cables> PwcrLinux, just open a terminal and paste it in (paste using ctrl-shift-v in the terminal)
[08:32] <ChaosEddie> cables: THAT'S why I couldn't paste into terminal
[08:32] <Spo8> dabaR: Uh oh, it isn't finding any partitions.  There's no way that they were formatted, though.  Here's a picture of the terminal's response.   http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5656/mountingproblemswk8.png
[08:32] <onats> hi, can i run my windows installation in another partition using VMWare?
[08:33] <tcpip> onats: i think u can
[08:33] <PwcrLinux> cables: does it'll would install it or just showing only?
[08:33] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: it'll show if it is installed or not
[08:33] <tcpip> onats: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48884
[08:33] <cables> PwcrLinux, shows it
[08:33] <sancho21> What's the most crowded ubuntu mailing list to ask and answer question about networking like openssl?
[08:33] <PwcrLinux> okay hold on
[08:33] <paitken> hello all.  i'm having an issue installing ubuntu.  i've tried 6.10 and 7.0 -- I get block errors with 6.1 and on 7, it gets passed the loading screen...then my video looks foobar'd.  THe mouse is just a block of noise...
[08:34] <ardchoille> cables: Wouldn't that always show it as installed? I mean uname -r? If uname -r command is successful, then it is installed, if it isn't installed, you won't be able to grep it eh?
[08:34] <bella_> http://live-cam.ifrance.com
[08:34] <cables> ardchoille, uname -r works for the kernel version. I'm seeing if his restricted modules matches the kernel version.
[08:34] <Shaffox> how can i remove the mounted partitions from my desktop?
[08:34] <ardchoille> cables: Ah, ok
[08:34] <PwcrLinux> cables: permission denied
[08:35] <cables> Shaffox, alt-f2, gconf-editor
[08:35] <onats> ok, le tme check that out first
[08:35] <pozer> yowzer
[08:35] <cables> PwcrLinux, try the command but put "sudo " in front of it
[08:35] <cables> Shaffox, hold on a sec
[08:36] <cables> Shaffox, once you're in the editor, go to Apps>Nautilus>Desktop and uncheck volumes_visible
[08:36] <onats> is VMWare free for personal use?
[08:37] <PwcrLinux> cables: Hmm nothing, after entered the pwds, got nothing show it
[08:37] <Shaffox> cables, thanks a lot
[08:37] <noodles13> onats: i posted al ink for u in the vmware channel if you wanna check that out too
[08:37] <IcemanV9> onats: player & server are free
[08:38] <cables> PwcrLinux, i screwed up the command
[08:38] <onats> what's not free?
[08:38] <IcemanV9> onats: workstation
[08:38] <Spo8> Can anyone help me with my install and possible wiped disk problem?
[08:38] <koregaonpark> Can someone tell me how to mount my slave HD (/dev/hdb1)?
[08:39] <cables> PwcrLinux, "sudo aptitude show linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | grep State"
[08:39] <PwcrLinux> cables: okay;
[08:39] <qiyong> is ubuntu alwasy depends on debian?
[08:40] <cables> !debian | qiyong
[08:40] <ubotu> qiyong: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[08:40] <PwcrLinux> cables: state installed
[08:41] <cables> PwcrLinux, I don't know why nvidia broke... but a lot of people have had that problem.
[08:42] <PwcrLinux> cables: I will wait for the LTS live CD comes in for just testing, if the LTS live CD working good, then I could install it..
[08:42] <cables> PwcrLinux, people from all Ubuntu versions have had the problem, but a clean install will probably fix it.
[08:43] <koregaonpark> No one knows?
[08:43] <cables> !mount | koregaonpark
[08:43] <ubotu> koregaonpark: 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
[08:43] <seravitae> what port is sshd?
[08:44] <Spo8> Wow, this keeps getting worse.  GParted isn't detecting any partitions, does anyone have any idea how I can recover my windows partition?
[08:44] <Airwulf> hey to you all
[08:44] <PwcrLinux> cables: yea, my first time the DVD player was demuxer missing.. I puzzled, something wrong with DVD player (gxine) and choppy pretty bad, the last checked the DMA still show "on".. possibility kernel gone bad?
[08:44] <Amaranth> qiyong: what do you mean always depends on debian?
[08:44] <tripppy> what a good remtoe desktop app for xubuntu?
[08:44] <Airwulf> How can I disable desktop icons for usb harddiscs?
[08:44] <cables> PwcrLinux, it's probably all a result of the nvidia
[08:45] <cables> Airwulf, you can disable icons for ALL disks, but not just specific ones.
[08:45] <qiyong> Amaranth, ubuntu only/mainly takes packages from debian
[08:45] <hexidigital> seravitae:  22
[08:45] <seravitae> k, thx.
[08:45] <aflack> Hrm.
[08:45] <aflack> I got some error when trying to install xmms.
[08:45] <Amaranth> qiyong: We try to keep the diff as small as possible but we have custom packages
[08:45] <aflack> No matter what it says to install, when I install it, it doesn't work.
[08:45] <cables> Airwulf, to disable drives from showing up, do alt-f2 then "gconf-editor"
[08:46] <Amaranth> qiyong: Some packages in universe aren't in Debian at all, a lot of packages are newer versions than Debian, etc.
[08:46] <cables> Airwulf, then once you're in the editor, go to Apps>Nautilus>Desktop and uncheck volumes_visible
[08:46] <cables> aflack, what error?
[08:46] <PwcrLinux> cables: I am using ATI mobility radaon 7500, I had the 9000 driver since the first installed..
[08:46] <aflack> One second. I'm going to redownload, and try to install it again, to show you the error.
[08:46] <qiyong> Amaranth, and in the future, ubuntu can mainly use its own packages? (not borrowed from debian)
[08:46] <onats> whats the ideal HD Space to install ubuntu?
[08:46] <cables> PwcrLinux, oh, sorry, confused by someone else.
[08:47] <aflack> I deleted it out of frustration. Haha.
[08:47] <qiyong> Amaranth, is it? and is that the aim?
[08:47] <jzl> hello.. can someone tell me how to load the NetworkManager GUI?
[08:47] <onats> i'll probably be able to free up a maximum of 4GB
[08:47] <Amaranth> qiyong: Why would that be the aim?
[08:47] <cables> aflack, does it have something to do with dpkg --configure -a?
[08:47] <seravitae> is there some sort of security package for ubuntu? im a bit worried about opening sshd on my box and having people brute force it or something
[08:47] <Amaranth> qiyong: That's a lot of needless work. Debian has good packages. That's why Ubuntu is based on Debian in the first place.
[08:48] <qiyong> Amaranth, and will ubuntu always based on debian?
[08:48] <aflack> Hopefully.
[08:48] <Amaranth> qiyong: I don't see why not.
[08:48] <aflack> I can find the error.
[08:48] <aflack> configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[08:48] <sancho21> Has anybody installed ejabberd on their local network + internet?
[08:48] <aflack> It's installed..
[08:48] <qiyong> Amaranth, that's good to know, i'm worrying the duplicated efforts
[08:48] <ChaosEddie> if not, then you're cured
[08:49] <aflack> glib has been installed.
[08:49] <aflack> It's saying it's not.
[08:49] <qiyong> Amaranth, btw, can I upgrade from 6.06 into 6.10 or the newest?
[08:49] <extern> has anyone had any issues with fglrx after the update? it says now that direct rendering is not supported
[08:49] <arunkumaran> hello room
[08:49] <Airwulf> cables, thx
[08:49] <cables> Airwulf, no prob
[08:49] <arunkumaran> i started a download on bit-tornado yesterday night and 520 of the 700MB is over
[08:49] <Amaranth> qiyong: gksudo "update-manager -c -d"
[08:49] <arunkumaran> can i continue it at the point i left....
[08:50] <aflack> Any idea?
[08:50] <arunkumaran> the comp was shutdown by cron
[08:50] <Amaranth> qiyong: you'll probably have to upgrade to 6.10 then to the development version
[08:50] <Amaranth> arunkumaran: bittorrent can resume downloads, yes
[08:50] <qiyong> Amaranth, i don't like the new CD re-install, i'd like upgrade smoothly
[08:50] <Amaranth> arunkumaran: Not a good idea to tell people you're downloading movies though. ;)
[08:50] <rpc> hmm... kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out <---what could this mean? got plenty of those in messages
[08:51] <Amaranth> qiyong: I didn't say anything about reinstalling
[08:51] <PwcrLinux> cables: I have "saved_state" in the .gconfd dir, would my system goes haywire, you gave the me first command by mistake?
[08:51] <aflack> cables: I reinstalled glib. Still the same error.
[08:52] <cables> PwcrLinux, my first command didn't do anything...
[08:52] <arunkumaran> Amaranth: actually...bit-tornado isnt working that way...i dont know how to resume it....wen i start the client it asks for the torrent file and if i re-choose the same one im being told that it would have to replace the earlier one....
[08:52] <jzl> Can someone tell me how to get the same taskbar applets running with NetworkManager? (http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2007/02/06/ubuntu-and-wireless-now-better-than-windows/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fevolvedlight.co.uk%2F%3Fp%3D20&frame=true)
[08:52] <cables> aflack, what's the error?
[08:52] <aflack> configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[08:52] <PwcrLinux> cables: okay I guess looks safe for now, doesn't anything writes or something..
[08:52] <extern> FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx, what may be causnig it?
[08:52] <Amaranth> arunkumaran: then bittornado sucks, find a better torrent client :)
[08:53] <cables> jzl, that's the KDE version. The Gnome one looks pretty much the same.
[08:53] <cables> !NetworkManager | jzl
[08:53] <ubotu> jzl: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:53] <qiyong> Amaranth, what command for 6.04 to 6.10 upgrade?
[08:53] <qiyong> Amaranth upgrade-manager?
[08:53] <arunkumaran> Amaranth: yeah..agreed....but does the 520MB go down the drain :(
[08:53] <arunkumaran> Amaranth: im downloading Azureus
[08:54] <jzl> cables, how do I see the GUI?
[08:54] <jzl> ubotu, my wireless works.. I would just like to use the GUI...
[08:54] <cables> jzl, you need to reboot after you install network-manager-gnome
[08:54] <jzl> cables, thats the issue
[08:54] <jzl> thanks man
[08:54] <arunkumaran> and for Email is Thunderbird > Evolution ?
[08:55] <cables> jzl, the new UI thing sometimes doesn't work as well as the original
[08:55] <Amaranth> qiyong: gksudo "update-manager -c -d"
[08:55] <cables> jzl, follow ubotu's guide
[08:55] <cables> !NetworkManager | jzl
[08:55] <ubotu> jzl: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[08:55] <Amaranth> arunkumaran: azureus should resume the old download
[08:55] <Spo8> I just installed using the resize main partition option and now every one of my partitions is gone, not visible to ubuntu or apparently the BIOS.  i have some essential files on my windows partition that I really need to get to tonight, so any help would be great.
[08:56] <arunkumaran> Amaranth: thanks..
[08:56] <ivx> hey does anyone know how to evolution to go to the system tray?
[08:56] <arunkumaran> Amaranth: and bout the email client -- thunderbird or evolution ?

[08:58] <Centi> LOL no sir
[08:58] <arunkumaran> ivx: oh...
[08:58] <Centi> <-- Swedish
[08:58] <arunkumaran> ivx: let me try and then come back here

[08:59] <seamus7> I just installed Edgy and am installing packages: what is the difference between J2SE and JRE v.5 update 10???

[09:00] <jzl> cables, I dont see the "staircase" strength indicator :|
[09:01] <ivx> beverage, by default the www folder can only be modified by root, so a app don't be able to read / write
[09:01] <Centi> Ubotu: thank you for not giving me google.com as an answer
[09:01] <qiyong> Amaranth can synaptic do upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 too?
[09:01] <Centi> and thanks for the info
[09:01] <KennyR> hello all
[09:01] <KennyR> I need some guidance here.
[09:01] <Beverage> i did sudo chown -R jon:jon /var/www/
[09:01] <unop> Beverage,  why not? depends if php likes to start counting from 0 or 1 ? :)
[09:01] <Amaranth> qiyong: no
[09:01] <Centi> Damn he was a bot? jesus
[09:02] <cafuego_> unop: it might not be the most popular, but php is *not* visual basic.
[09:02] <unop> Beverage, eh? no wonder -- www-data needs access to that folder
[09:02] <cafuego_> unop: Not write access
[09:02] <unop> cafuego_,  well, ok, fair enough -- but it's not exactly C is it :)
[09:02] <Beverage> unop, so what do i type?
[09:03] <aflack> ?
[09:03] <unop> cafuego_,  it does need read access tho
[09:03] <KennyR> I know Visual Basics very well, I would say that im an Advanced Programmer. And I love Ubuntu so much, that I want to contribute to the Ubuntu community and make some programs.. I have alot of ideas running through my head. What would you recommend me programming with, I read into RealBasic 2007 and it seems promising.. But is there anything else, thats free, because ubuntu beleives in...
[09:03] <cafuego_> unop: No, it's a tad quicker to work in ;-)
[09:03] <KennyR> ...things thats free, right?
[09:03] <SirOSOriS> i read that i need the vmplayer kernel to run a virtual machine on linux. has anyone here tried this? will this kernel override the nvidia kernel?
[09:03] <ivx> beverage you know you can modify permissions with out the command promt
[09:03] <unop> cafuego_,  really? i have no idea
[09:03] <Beverage> yeah i enjoy command prompt
[09:03] <unop> :)
[09:03] <Beverage> because if i did that everything worked fine
[09:03] <cafuego_> KennyR: Perhaps try python; it's not hard to start with.
[09:04] <qiyong> in a new install, root can't login or su to? user can only sudo?
[09:04] <KennyR> isnt that a Web language, cafuego?
[09:04] <unop> Beverage,  what i'd do is log on as www-data (using sudo) and see whether you can change to /var/www
[09:04] <cafuego_> KennyR: Nope
[09:04] <PwcrLinux> cya later all :)
[09:04] <KennyR> cafuego_: could you link me?
[09:04] <ivx> qiyong, the default user is admin privilages, you just have to type password, and use sudo before commands
[09:04] <qiyong> Amaranth,  in a new install, root can't login or su to? user can only sudo?
[09:04] <Amaranth> !sudo | qiyong
[09:04] <ubotu> qiyong: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:04] <Beverage> unop, uhm...yeah i have no idea what to do with that >.<
[09:05] <cafuego_> KennyR: `sudo apt-get install diveintopython'
[09:05] <unop> Beverage,  ok, what does this output? ls -ld /var/www
[09:05] <KennyR> cafuego_: Could I possibly read up on it without installing it?
[09:05] <billybob> unop: hey, got a question for you
[09:05] <qiyong> ivx, so root can't login by default, right?
[09:05] <unop> billybob,  :)
[09:05] <cafuego_> KennyR: Then browse to file:///usr/share/doc/diveintopython/html/index.html
[09:05] <aflack> I get this error when trying to install XMMS: configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***

[09:06] <KennyR> ill look into it
[09:07] <unop> Beverage,  perhaps also do this -- head -n 1 /var/www/script.php

[09:08] <aflack> Anyone know why I get that error?
[09:08] <unop> Beverage,  why did you change ownership in that directory?
[09:08] <unop> billybob,  you registered on these servers?
[09:08] <newest007> hey there, ive really found that the gnome desktop top is really rubbish, im going to change to KDE, how do i do this cleanly though? last time i installed KDE alot of gnome stuff was left behind and clogged up my menus
[09:09] <billybob> unop: thats the problem <--- m_billybob. forgot passwd . . .
[09:09] <Beverage> unop, i dno what is the command to just make everything in the folder read/write
[09:09] <blue|palm> Does anybody know if there exists a driver for my Canon MP 160's Scanner?
[09:09] <unop> billybob,  uh oh .. errm, i think you might need to approach the freenode staff
[09:09] <billybob> unop: yeap whcih channel they hang in ?
[09:10] <Frogzoo> newest007: gnome works for me
[09:10] <tcpip> fiest fawn rls date?
[09:10] <DarthLappy> billybob: Are you registered?
[09:10] <ivx> beverage, i think it is 777, dont' hold me to that
[09:10] <newest007> well gnome works np, but i think its really ugly
[09:11] <unop> billybob,  errm, dont really know
[09:11] <dynamicreflux> why does synaptics show that gnome is not installed when im running it all along?
[09:11] <Beverage> so sudo chmod 777 /var/www
[09:11] <ivx> newest, skin it out then
[09:11] <ivx> beverage, i think so
[09:11] <unop> Beverage,  no no -- what you need to do is revert ownership on /var/www/
[09:11] <newest007> im no programer, and the available skins etc are pretty lame
[09:11] <billybob> unop:  . . .
[09:11] <KennyR> What else would someone recommend thats somewhat the same syntax as Visual Basics, besides Python & RealBasic
[09:11] <newest007> no matching etc
[09:11] <seamus7> What version of Java should I install in Edgy?
[09:11] <ivx> newest, you can get more, www.gnome-look.org
[09:12] <Frogzoo> !themes | newest007
[09:12] <ubotu> newest007: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[09:12] <ivx> newest, mine is so cool, if i may say
[09:12] <dynamicreflux> ivx: any idea why gnome isnt marked in synaptics?
[09:12] <unop> Beverage,  chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www .. and then add your $USER into the www-data group -- i think you use usermod for that
[09:12] <newest007> yeah tried al of those, but all the goodys is for KDE..
[09:12] <ivx> dynamicreflux, idk, i'll look at mine for ya
[09:12] <dynamicreflux> plz do
[09:12] <newest007> and its straight forward
[09:12] <unop> Beverage,  well, i dont think, i know -- not sure of the exact usermod syntax
[09:13] <Beverage> unop, before chown -R jon:jon /var/www worked fine
[09:13] <seamus7> This is quite difficult. No one ever seems to know which version of Java to install for standard web browsing purposes. Any wise Ubuntu people out there?

[09:14] <KennyR> !Programming
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about programming - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <dynamicreflux> seamus
[09:14] <dynamicreflux> i installed the regular java in synaptics
[09:14] <dynamicreflux> without a hitch
[09:14] <dynamicreflux> works perfectly
[09:14] <ivx> dynamicreflux, that's because you probably have gnome2
[09:14] <dynamicreflux> o oic ivx, guess that makes sense
[09:14] <dynamicreflux> hah
[09:14] <ChaosEddie> newest007: what happened to you earlier? you asked a question and reset connection before I could answer
[09:15] <unop> Beverage,  well, you could keep that -- and give fild1.php permissions like this -- chmod o+rx fild1.php .. but that makes the file executable by absolutely everyone .. not a good thing to have on a public server
[09:15] <Frogzoo> !java | seamus7
[09:15] <ubotu> seamus7: 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
[09:15] <dynamicreflux> ivx btw, what does your theme look like
[09:15] <Beverage> unop, this isnt public and i just want a command that will make my /var/www work so i can drag files in and out and modify how i want and then work on FF
[09:16] <ivx> dynamicreflux, i'll do the screen shot thing for you if you want, it is red
[09:16] <seamus7> thanks
[09:16] <KennyR> Does anyone know of a command for ubotu to list most known programming languages??
[09:16] <dynamicreflux> yea uplload it to imageshack.us
[09:17] <unop> Beverage,  then do what i suggested -- revert ownership, make /var/www/ writable by the www-data group and add $USER into the www-data group
[09:17] <newest007> sorry about that chaoseddie, for some reason the client just closed, having problems with this lately
[09:17] <ivx> dynamicreflux, if you spend an hour max you can really trick it out
[09:17] <ChaosEddie> ah its' okay. i was just wondering.
[09:17] <Frogzoo> KennyR: -> google 'programming languages'
[09:17] <Beverage> how do i add $user to the www-data group?
[09:17] <KennyR> lol
[09:17] <KennyR> forgot about that Frogzoo !
[09:17] <KennyR> =P
[09:18] <cikas> is any rogram in ubuntu similar with dvdshrink?
[09:18] <unop> Beverage,  sudo usermod -G www-data $USER
[09:18] <ChaosEddie> i think it's time for me to hit the sack! nice talking to you all, hearing your problems, fixing your problems, breaking your systems etc. I'll be back tommorow, hopefully. Keep working team.
[09:18] <kondor2> dvdshrink is rated highly with ubuntu and wine
[09:18] <KennyR> haha, ok see ya ChaosEddie
[09:19] <dynamicreflux> dvdshrink works under wine
[09:19] <dynamicreflux> dvdshrink = http://mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/
[09:19] <KennyR> whats the most recommened IRC Client?
[09:20] <coNP> KennyR: I am afraid there is no *most recommended* one, however xchat is a very nice client
[09:20] <blue|palm> Does anybody know whether hp provicde printer drivers for linux or not?
[09:20] <Frogzoo> KennyR: apt-cache search irc
[09:20] <unop> KennyR, whats the most recommended car? :>
[09:20] <KennyR> conP: whats the install command for xchat?
[09:21] <coNP> KennyR: sudo apt-get install xchat in a terminal window
[09:21] <luckymurali> hi to all
[09:21] <KennyR> unop: I like the Pontiac.. but most recommended would be.. erm Ferrari maybe?
[09:21] <luckymurali> hi unfortunately i delete some files from my desktop
[09:22] <luckymurali> i want to restore it
[09:22] <coNP> blue|palm: I doubt if HP provides any but I think most of their printers have well-supported drivers for Linux
[09:22] <luckymurali> hoe to do it?
[09:22] <luckymurali> please tell me
[09:22] <rylan> can someone tell me how to go about installing an ".rpm" file?
[09:22] <unop> KennyR,  you get my point -- it depends on what you like, can afford, want to be seen in, etc .. and different salesmen will have different recommendations .. so its a variable thing :)
[09:22] <meisam> guys does anybody know how i can test tomcat if its working?
[09:22] <KennyR> unop: I know, but I thought id throw a little humor into the question.. =P
[09:22] <coNP> ! alien
[09:22] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[09:22] <Pie-rate> how do you install gtk2 themes?
[09:22] <CyberSlug> Hello everyone
[09:23] <kondor2> also for dvdshrink at winehq http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5329&iTestingId=7083
[09:23] <CorpseFeeder> i have a computer not booting at all... It is stuck on some sort of drive I/O error and I can find no way to skip past it or correct it. Here is a paste of my problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6072/ How can I fix this?
[09:23] <coNP> ! gnome-art ! Pie-rate
[09:23] <coNP> ! gnome-art | Pie-rate
[09:23] <unop> KennyR,  xchat's pretty decent on gnome (although you'll see people disagree) :)
[09:23] <ubotu> gnome-art: install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-3 (edgy), package size 26 kB, installed size 200 kB
[09:23] <ubotu> pie-rate: please see above
[09:23] <unop> ubotu's getting smarter by the day
[09:23] <luckymurali> pls tell me how to restore the deleted files?
[09:24] <coNP> unop is getting faster :)
[09:24] <KennyR> unop: ill give xchat a try, most people seem to like it.. -from what iv seen.. but im sure theres always people who disagree with everything..
[09:24] <unop> coNP,  :p
[09:24] <coNP> luckymurali: I think there is a Trash folder somewhere ...
[09:24] <rylan> can someone tell me how to go about installing an ".rpm" file?
[09:24] <KennyR> unop: I seen some of the most stupid posts about Windows Versus Linux, when some people would PAY for things in Windows, that they could of free in Linux.. Now my opinion... thats just retarded..
[09:24] <unop> rylan,  alian -d file.rpm ; sudo dpkg -i file.deb .. if i remember right
[09:24] <kondor2> im using xchat, it works, it isnt amazing, it just works
[09:25] <unop> s/alian/alien/, rylan
[09:25] <coNP> sorry Pie-rate, rylan I swapped your nicks, again
[09:25] <rylan> unop, in plain english please. im a nub
[09:25] <UltimateX> I never pay for anything for Windows
[09:25] <UltimateX> All my stuff I get for free
[09:25] <UltimateX> even Windows :-)
[09:25] <luckymurali> but there is no thrash folder
[09:26] <unop> rylan,  are you absolutely 100% sure a debian/ubuntu package doesnt exist for what you want?? what is it named anyway?
[09:26] <luckymurali> Trash folder
[09:26] <kondor2> UltimateX thats the reason I left Windows (yesturday) and came to linux
[09:26] <unop> luckymurali,  try this location -- ~/.Trash
[09:26] <luckymurali> coNP: any other solutions
[09:26] <rylan> unop,  i want to install limewire. i <3 downloading music
[09:26] <CorpseFeeder> is my computer's hard drive kapput?
[09:26] <ardchoille> How do I get a screenshot of tty1?
[09:26] <unop> rylan, ok, you should use frostwire
[09:26] <hastesaver> rylan, the package is called frostwire
[09:26] <unop> !frostwire | rylan
[09:26] <ubotu> rylan: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[09:26] <KennyR> UltimateX: I have to be honest.. I wont take sides with Linux nor Windows, they both have their ups and downs, and it just depends on what that particular person likes..
[09:27] <Ayabara> anyone using kdbg?
[09:27] <CorpseFeeder> if I get a massive stream of I/O errors from fsck does that mean the drive is shat itself?
[09:27] <kondor2> limewire is listed on winehq http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5522&iTestingId=5316
[09:28] <KennyR> I will say that, I prefer Linux because it has things that windows has and a little more.. and I dont have to srounge around on google just to find some good tools.. that Linux has an add/remove that comes with all the things I need..
[09:28] <desp> hi all
[09:28] <meisam> hi guys this is where i have installed my java jdk 1.6
[09:28] <desp> how can i change the user identd on my xchat please
[09:28] <unop> kondor2,  why use wine on a win32 app when you have a native alternative? the native one is bound to perform better, perhaps faster too
[09:28] <meisam> how can i make the path?
[09:28] <CorpseFeeder> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6072/ is my problem.. is there any point trying to fix this or has it died beyond all repair?
[09:28] <desp> its leopard now and i need to change it to desp
[09:29] <meisam> i wanna put the java in path
[09:29] <hastesaver> meisam, export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/java
[09:29] <kondor2> agreed unop
[09:29] <KennyR> CorpseFeeder: I dont know much about that particular problem, but I had the same one on an old laptop..
[09:29] <KennyR> CorpseFeeder: I just reinstalled ubuntu on it, and all seems well now
[09:30] <meisam> hastesaver i did not get it
[09:30] <unop> meisam,  if you installed java right, java should be in $PATH
[09:30] <hastesaver> meisam, unop is right. How did you install java?
[09:30] <unop> m_billybob,  did you have any lick?
[09:30] <unop> luck* lol
[09:31] <desp> :)
[09:31] <KennyR> lol
[09:31] <meisam> unop i have installed through the installer comes with netbeans IDE from sun.java
[09:31] <eyequeue> how do i get the output of "  set | grep HIST " (that i do see in a console,) to output from a shell script?
[09:31] <desp> any help please
[09:31] <CorpseFeeder> is formatting the drive + reinstall the only viable solution for this?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6072/
[09:31] <kondor2> unop, thanks for the heads up on frostwire
[09:32] <KennyR> CorpseFeeder: I wont answer that question, because im not quite sure.. But thats how I fixed mine..
[09:32] <unop> meisam,  errm, i'm not sure, but does that package contain the java SDK ?
[09:32] <luckymurali> friends pls tell me how to place a trash can in the desktop
[09:32] <unop> eyequeue,  unfortunately $HISTORY is a variable set only in login session -- but why do you want to do that ? maybe i can suggest another workaround
[09:32] <meisam> hastesaver actually im trying to install the tomcat, but i think my java is not in path, or tomcat itself is supposed to be in path ? am i right?
[09:32] <hastesaver> !java
[09:32] <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
[09:33] <eyequeue> desp, do you know what exit status 4 is?
[09:33] <KennyR> brb
[09:33] <desp> no , what it is ?
[09:33] <unop> meisam,  errm, what happens when you do this at a command line -- java -v   or java -version ?
[09:34] <CorpseFeeder> i get an exit status 4
[09:34] <CorpseFeeder> from fsck
[09:34] <KennyR> wow..
[09:34] <KennyR> who was it that recommended xchat to me??
[09:34] <eyequeue> unop, <blush> i have a ~/bin/check-this-next-week script, to check something i didn't understand in BASH(1) lol
[09:34] <KennyR> because.. I myself... Love it!
[09:34] <KennyR> X.x
[09:35] <luckymurali> unop: how to place a trash can on the desktop
[09:35] <AWOSLappy> Certain fonts I use regularly are no longer working correctly in KDE-based apps; they work correctly in OOo but not Krita, KolourPaint, ...
[09:35] <desp> eyequeue:
[09:35] <unop> KennyR,  errm, quite a few people did, didn't they?
[09:35] <eyequeue> unop, next line is wc -l ~/.bash_history, heh
[09:35] <AWOSLappy> It looks like the Sans Serif font, which is not even close to the kind of font I'm trying for.
[09:35] <AWOSLappy> Do you need further information; if so, what?
[09:35] <unop> luckymurali,  errm, i'm not really sure, i dont use gnome
[09:36] <eyequeue> unop, i'm trying to figure out how HISTFILE and HISTFILESIZE work when different, and which takes precedence
[09:36] <KennyR> unop, im not quite sure.. but werent you one of them?
[09:36] <luckymurali> please tell me somebody how to place the trashcan on the desktop
[09:36] <Trunkz> Morning folks, small question.. How do I remove startup programs from the session manager through console?
[09:36] <Trunkz> I put beryl and the emerald theme thingy into startup programs, and now x wont start
[09:36] <Trunkz> so I need to remove those
[09:36] <Frogzoo> eyequeue: man bash
[09:37] <unop> eyequeue,  well, they both do different things -- HISTFILE tells bash which file to use (usually ~/.bash_history) . HISTFILESIZE tells bash how many history entries to keep in HISTFILE
[09:37] <eyequeue> unop, ie, does the .bash_history file ever end up larger than the smaller of the two, and the next question is the same, but when i flipflop the values
[09:37] <meisam> unop http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6073/
[09:37] <unop> KennyR,  yes
[09:37] <KennyR> unop, Is there any sound in this though?
[09:37] <Trunkz> anyone? O_o
[09:38] <eyequeue> Frogzoo, that my dear sir, is where this started.  the script was one i wrote myself to teach me empiracaly what i couldn't figure out from reading the man page, it's not clear to even me
[09:38] <meisam> unop can u help me installing tomcat?
[09:38] <eyequeue> Frogzoo, i'm i'm kinda a man-page-first kinda guy, heh
[09:38] <unop> KennyR,  hmm, not sure, i don't think so -- what kinda sounds?
[09:38] <nayyares> hi guys
[09:38] <unop> meisam,  java already exists in your path as it executes there
[09:38] <nayyares> i was thinking that how ubuntu/canonical mange to send cds free to every body , any part of the world?
[09:38] <KennyR> unop, Like a beep when someone says my name..
[09:39] <unop> KennyR,  ahh indeed, if you check out it's preferences, you'll see an option there
[09:39] <eyequeue> unop, but the part where it describes how it does of doesn't truncate, well, i guess it's an esoteric point, but i was curious
[09:39] <KennyR> unop, Thankyou, I see it now.. Are there any default sounds that come with xchat?
[09:39] <CorpseFeeder> i'm going out for a walk... if no one else can suggest anything about http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6072/ by the time I come back, then I will go ahead and reformat, as right now that seems like the only option left to me.
[09:39] <AWOSLappy> The permissions seem to be correctly set: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 43932 2006-10-01 02:07 Roadgeek 2005 Series EM.ttf
[09:39] <unop> KennyR,  I believe there are plugins you can use with it, i dunno tho
[09:40] <meisam> unop when a jsp file runs and executes the java code appear on we page
[09:40] <unop> eyequeue,  so, have i satisfied the curiosity? or are you still unresolved? :>
[09:40] <eyequeue> unop, Frogzoo, thanks for your interest and time, i just happen to try to learn by doing when i can't learn from docs, so i write weird things, no real need i guess
[09:40] <KennyR> unop, Would you know where xchat is installed?
[09:40] <unop> meisam,  errm, and you using tomcat right? not apache?
[09:41] <KennyR> unop, I mean, what directory?
[09:41] <AWOSLappy> You can download the fonts from here: http://www.triskele.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/Roadgeek2005Fonts.zip
[09:41] <unop> KennyR,  dpkg -L xchat
[09:41] <slippyr4> hi all. does anyone know how modules are mapped to network devices? i'm trying to get my nforce ethernet working, i've loaded the module but no eth0 device exists. any ideas?
[09:41] <kondor2> just had a peak at prefs,  it has all the settings and you can use external progs, but no sound files with it (on mine)
[09:41] <Pie-rate> Ok, I installed a gnome theme that I like, except its a dark theme and it makes forms in websites in firefox look UGLY. is there any way to make firefox ignore the gtk theme when rendering the website?
[09:41] <Frogzoo> CorpseFeeder: lots of luck - you can try reinstalling - the disk looks cactus
[09:41] <AWOSLappy> The fonts USED to work...I used them heavily in KolourPaint around December.
[09:41] <Jowi> KennyR, "whereis progname" is also useful
[09:41] <KennyR> ok thanks Jowi

[09:42] <dave__> Hi, my screen drivers are really messed up.  I have two screens, one 19" and the other 15" and I want them to both work on linux with the 19" one being the primary screen.  could anyone connect to remote desktop with me and help me sort it out?
[09:42] <AWOSLappy> !guidelines
[09:42] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[09:42] <eyequeue> unop, still un, but happy :)  i do appreciate it :)
[09:42] <m_billybob> unop: got it worked out finally
[09:42] <MartinSWE> Gahh!  Why does fixing something always have to mean that something else stops working!!!
[09:42] <AWOSLappy> unop can you help me with my fonts problem?
[09:42] <unop> eyequeue,  great :)
[09:42] <unop> m_billybob,  what'd ya have to do to sort it out?
[09:42] <unop> AWOSLappy,  errm, i could try
[09:42] <dave__> MartinSWE: I hear that!
[09:42] <m_billybob> unop: new motherboard, fresh install . . ., im sure you know how it is . . .
[09:43] <eyequeue> MartinSWE, only one other thing stops working?  lucky man :)
[09:43] <Trunkz> unop, how can I edit the file (whichever one it is) that has all the startup programs.. (you know the one for Sytsem -> Preferences -> sessions)
[09:43] <unop> m_billybob,  right, but how about the IRC login issue?
[09:43] <Trunkz> Cos Ubuntu crashes when it tries to load X..
[09:43] <m_billybob> fixed.
[09:43] <m_billybob> i found a staffer
[09:43] <KennyR> Where can I find some alternative sound files? xchat doesnt come with any..
[09:44] <unop> Trunkz,  errm, i think it might be this directory containing quite a few files , one for each startup entry -- ~/.gnome2/autostart/*
[09:44] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, try updating the font cache, log out and in again. "sudo fc-cache -fv"
[09:44] <m_billybob> this server is different from the one i used to IRCoper on, took me a bit to find a way around all the +m channels ;)
[09:44] <Trunkz> ahh thanks..
[09:44] <AWOSLappy> jowi: it works in OpenOffice.org right now...I have a file OPEN with THESE fonts on them.
[09:44] <Trunkz> How do I get into my ubuntu distro, without having to goto X
[09:44] <MartinSWE> i just installed xbindkeys to get my keyboard volume control buttons to work, it works great but now everytime i press Ctrl + F to serch a webpage in firefox i get som wierd grey console that is automatically logged in as root.. very strange..
[09:44] <AWOSLappy> jowi...so could that even matter if OOo works?
[09:45] <unop> Trunkz,  errm, no, this one :) ~/.config/autostart
[09:45] <wootz> Hey, I got a vps server with ubuntu and i seen proftpd wasn't in my package manager and with my VPS server i only have 4 gb free.. so i would hate to change my source list's and it use all my space in other apps so i was wondering is there any sites that shows how to install proftpd from command line?
[09:45] <eyequeue> KennyR, weak advice warning ... i found some one night via google searching, when i was curious, didn't find anything i liked that was worth the time searching after all imo, heh
[09:45] <wootz> or whats some other ways i could go by?
[09:45] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, don't know. a bit strange. what prog is not accepting the font?
[09:45] <Trunkz> thx :p
[09:45] <m_billybob> love the motherboard too :)
[09:45] <AWOSLappy> jowi: KDE apps.  don't say #kubuntu...I waited 15 minutes there with no response.
[09:46] <KennyR> eyequeue, Did you come across anything in the mean-time, or are you currently using ANY sounds?
[09:46] <eyequeue> KennyR, but the thing is, any irc sound file is fine, it doens't need to be xchat-specific
[09:46] <unop> Trunkz,  address the person you are talking to, otherwise you might confuse people or get your posts lost in the busy channel :)
[09:46] <KennyR> eyequeue, I dont have any sound files, this is a fresh install with some installs, and some removes, so I dont beleive I have any..
[09:46] <unop> Trunkz,  did you ask me that? how can i goto X ?
[09:47] <KennyR> eyequeue, You could always send some sound files over, via IRC, couldnt you??
[09:47] <eyequeue> KennyR, so homer simpson for a mirc user is probably the same as for an xchat user ... no, i'm not that into sounds really, was the problem
[09:47] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, hmmm, no idea about kde specific things unfortunately. if gtk apps work I would guess kde/qt apps would as well.
[09:47] <Trunkz> unop, no need :p
[09:47] <AWOSLappy> jowi OOo == gtk?!
[09:47] <KennyR> oh, ok, thanks anyways eyequeue
[09:47] <unop> Trunkz,  ok :)
[09:47] <Trunkz> I just mounted my ubuntu partition.. so gonna try and find wher that config/.autostart hting is
[09:48] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, I think OOo is built on something else.
[09:48] <KennyR> eyequeue, I like sounds, because I just dont feel right when its all quiet, and I can hear my ears ringing... rather annoying really..
[09:48] <AWOSLappy> jowi: I am downloading Kword to see if it works.
[09:48] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, try mousepad, gedit or abiword.
[09:48] <unop> Trunkz,  if you want a simple command to be run when an X session starts -- it's better to use ~/.xinitrc
[09:48] <AWOSLappy> jowi: so far I have only tested KolourPaint and Krita.
[09:48] <eyequeue> KennyR, yeah, that direct c-something c-comething send command, if i had them i think i could send ... you'd probably need to do some "allow" command on freenet, but i don't know the syntax myself
[09:49] <Trunkz> unop, where is that .config folder? I cant find it.. (I'm in the root directory of the ubuntu partition)
[09:49] <eyequeue> KennyR, oh, an idea!
[09:49] <AWOSLappy> jowi: AbiWord...wow Ubuntu offers that?  I haven't seen that since Red Hat 9 :P
[09:49] <KennyR> eyequeue, im listening.
[09:49] <AWOSLappy> jowi: will Kword be suitable or would you rather me use abiword?
[09:49] <unop> Trunkz,  under your home folder (~/) ... /home/$USER/.config/autostart
[09:49] <Trunkz> okey
[09:50] <AWOSLappy> unop: ooh there's an autostart?  does it work with kdm?
[09:50] <eyequeue> KennyR, dig through /usr/share/sounds (browse with a player) and steal sounds from other apps for use in xchat!
[09:50] <MartinSWE> does anyone know what this strange looking console is and why it starts everytime i press "Ctrl +F" ?? http://www.margus.se/strange.png
[09:50] <ubuntu> I need help figuring out how to install grub to a mounted partition from a live cd
[09:50] <AWOSLappy> KennyR you could always listen to music.
[09:50] <eyequeue> KennyR, nothing says a game app's sounds aren't fair game on your own machine :)
[09:51] <KennyR> eyequeue, lol, your absolutely right..
[09:51] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, It would be nice to test if the problem is kde specific. kwrite is written for kde - mousepad, abiword or gedit uses gtk.
[09:51] <unop> AWOSLappy,  well, all X sessions can use ~/.xinitrc .. i dunno about ~/.config/autostart tho, that looks very gnomish .. but i am sure there's a KDE one too you could use some smoke-and-mirrors to find out
[09:51] <AWOSLappy> MartinSWE: that's xterm
[09:51] <Trunkz> that shud work now. .lemme restart xD
[09:51] <KennyR> AWOSLappy, I dont really have the money to buy any music cds, and my internet is too slow to support streaming.. the only alternative is P2P.. but thats illegal.
[09:51] <MartinSWE> AWOSLappy, what is it used for?
[09:51] <AWOSLappy> MartinSWE which I haven't seen since Red Hat 5 (1998) so thanks for the blast from the past!
[09:51] <AWOSLappy> MartinSWE it's like gnome-terminal.  but it's realllllly old
[09:51] <eyequeue> KennyR, but any "*.wav" on any web site out there is probably fair game to many non-lawyer types too ;-)
[09:51] <AWOSLappy> KennyR ah.
[09:52] <AWOSLappy> jowi okay
[09:52] <ubuntu> Can somebody PLEASE help me install grub to a mounted partition from a live cd?
[09:52] <AWOSLappy> unop okay thanks.
[09:52] <mneptok> AWOSLappy: i use xterm every day :)
[09:52] <AWOSLappy> mneptok really?  wow :D
[09:52] <KennyR> eyequeue, Your right, but I think their more after the criminal downloading pirated music type..
[09:52] <AWOSLappy> I used it in SuSE 9.1 when KDE broke.
[09:52] <Jowi> xterm rocks
[09:52] <AWOSLappy> then I switched to Ubuntu :D
[09:52] <KennyR> eyequeue, I dont think youll get much jail time for downloading a Simpsons theme song..
[09:52] <mneptok> ubuntu: that process is described in step-by-step detail on the wiki
[09:52] <AWOSLappy> KennyR lol :P
[09:52] <eyequeue> KennyR, and i wasn't talking like a song, just some beepy thing on someone's page, you don't want things more than a couple seconds i figure
[09:52] <MartinSWE> AWOSLappy, hmm prehaps it snuck in with xbindkeys when i installed it..
[09:53] <KennyR> eyequeue, Your absolutely right.
[09:53] <AWOSLappy> MartinSWE yeah, it's possible.
[09:53] <AWOSLappy> jowi :D  yes it does rock.
[09:53] <Jowi> KennyR, no, but you will be condemned to Hell lol
[09:53] <KennyR> Jowi, Lol, I figure im going there anyways.. =P
[09:53] <mneptok> MartinSWE: xterm is in main. it's a default app.
[09:53] <eyequeue> KennyR, i'magine if your "someone said my name" sound was ThemeSong.wav, in this conversation, for example
[09:54] <KennyR> eyequeue, im not sure I understood that last bit..
[09:54] <AWOSLappy> mneptok: really!?
[09:54] <mneptok> sounds and IRC go together like a fluffy kitten and the surface of the sun.
[09:55] <KennyR> mneptok, LMAO!!!
[09:55] <fixius> ls
[09:55] <fixius> ll
[09:55] <AWOSLappy> mneptok hahahaha
[09:55] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob -- Core 2 or Athlon?
[09:55] <KennyR> mneptok, Yeah, I just need a small beep so I know when someones talking to me though..
[09:56] <eyequeue> KennyR, lol, i put the Seinfeld bass guitar thing as a song on my personal playlist one day, and a friend was over, she ;aughed histarically, it's "short" comapred to my music collection songs, but face it, if it started playing every five lines worth of irc scroll, you'd go insance, it's too too long
[09:56] <seamus7> Is GStreamer equivalent, worse or better than MPlayer? I'm just now installing packages and want to enable all the poopular codecs.
[09:56] <MartinSWE> mneptok, when i installed xbindkeys it sudenly started apearing when i press "Ctrl +F" on my keyboard even though there is no such shortcut defined in either xbindkeys nor in the gnome-keybinding-properties.. any idea why?
[09:56] <mneptok> KennyR: use the GAIM notification sound
[09:56] <KennyR> mneptok, Thats what eyequeue recommended..
[09:56] <mneptok> MartinSWE: ~/.profile ?
[09:56] <eyequeue> insane
[09:56] <fixius> anyone here any good with XGL on edgy for dual monitors?
[09:57] <fixius> i'm having problems getting the session to work
[09:57] <AWOSLappy> wheee
[09:57] <Jowi> seamus7, it's different. haven't decided if one is better than the other... mplayer, xine or gstreamer
[09:57] <AWOSLappy> mneptok: thank you!  http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2126/xtermcs0.png
[09:57] <m_billybob> AWOSLappy: AM2 3800+
[09:57] <KennyR> lol how right you are eyequeue
[09:57] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob *drool* :)
[09:57] <seamus7> Jowi: do you just end up installing pretty much all of them?
[09:57] <m_billybob> AWOSLappy: yeah well, im waiting on the cash for an opty ;) thats what im drooling over :)
[09:57] <m_billybob> 1214 i think
[09:57] <Pie-rate> I changed my gtk2 theme to a darker one, and it affects websites in firefox as well. is there any way to fix that?
[09:57] <eyequeue> KennyR, yeah, i think i also found some useful still in the gnomemeeting package (which was instaled, but i never use, so the sounds are all "new" to me anyway, no meaning attached yet
[09:58] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob ooooh Opteron64...MP?
[09:58] <Airwulf> Can I get the device from a folder like (/dev/sdb1 mountet to /home)  and know I need to know on which device /home/test is
[09:58] <m_billybob> AWOSLappy: AM2 64 bit opteron
[09:58] <AWOSLappy> Airwulf type "mount | grep /home/test"
[09:58] <KennyR> eyequeue, lol.. keyword: yet
[09:58] <Jowi> seamus7, I use them all for different things. gstreamer because that's what Quod Libet (best music player yet) wants. I use mplayer for my Freevo install and xine (totem-xine) for when I want to play a clip.
[09:58] <eyequeue> KennyR, anything that's communication oriented probably has ideal sounds, download something that you don't use, steal the sounds, and delete the package
[09:59] <m_billybob> hmmm/me noticed his time is off
[09:59] <AWOSLappy> Fri Feb 16 03:59:07 EST 2007
[09:59] <AWOSLappy> ^ m_billybob
[09:59] <KennyR> eyequeue, *browsing through the sounds folder as we speak*
[09:59] <m_billybob> PST would be 1 am then
[09:59] <m_billybob> (approx.)
[09:59] <seamus7> Jowi: which do you use as a browser media plugin?
[09:59] <eyequeue> KennyR, and you know they're all totally legal sounds, being in a package
[09:59] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob yeah... what do you have?
[09:59] <KennyR> =D
[09:59] <KennyR> eyequeue, LOL I found the login sound..
[09:59] <Jowi> seamus7, none. hate media in browsers.
[10:00] <KennyR> eyequeue, If I change a sound, would it use the new sound on login?
[10:00] <AWOSLappy> Fri Feb 16 04:00:01 EST 2007
[10:00] <nevron> how can i learn which sound device i am currently using?
[10:00] <Frogzoo> Pie-rate: tools -> addons -> themes maybe
[10:00] <AWOSLappy> ^ now it's officially 1am, m_billybob :D
[10:00] <m_billybob> 1 am now ;)
[10:00] <MartinSWE> mneptok, aha! Found the shortcut in xbindkeys and fixed it, didnt see it at first because the "code" was written in keyboard key numbers or what ever its called..
[10:00] <m_billybob> funny, i have time service running
[10:00] <MartinSWE> thanks for the help anyway!
[10:00] <Jowi> seamus7, I launch totem-xine if i need to look at a clip from the web :)
[10:00] <m_billybob> AWOSLappy: this is my Windows XP box . . .
[10:00] <AWOSLappy> MartinSWE: they are called scancodes   :)
[10:00] <eyequeue> KennyR, just some thoughts, but you notice i didn't really point you to any real xchat sounds?  so technically i didn't answer, lol, i love this channel
[10:00] <m_billybob> gaming rig.
[10:00] <seamus7> Jowi: ok thx
[10:00] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob :P
[10:01] <KennyR> eyequeue, LOL
[10:01] <m_billybob> i leave all the hard stuff like iSCSI, and Samba etc, up to my linux box ;)
[10:01] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob :D
[10:01] <AWOSLappy> jowi: uhoh.
[10:01] <AWOSLappy> jowi: I went to Format->Font in KWord.  it had Sans Serif highlighted...when I clicked on my font...no change in appearance :-(
[10:01] <m_billybob> ;)
[10:01] <eyequeue> KennyR, if the one i'm thinging you mean, yeah, you could then hear DuckJob.wav on every X signin :)
[10:02] <Jowi> btw, anyone is running edgy on a intel mac mini and got the internal speaker to work?
[10:02] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob ;)  try BSD yet?  :P
[10:02] <KennyR> =P
[10:02] <m_billybob> yeah years ago, i like the Ubuntu debian like 'install' method best. But I also love the SabayonLinux LiveCD, looks really good for a linux Desktop
[10:02] <AWOSLappy> jowi: So...I ran KWord from the terminal / Konsole
[10:03] <m_billybob> debian like system, got to love it
[10:03] <AWOSLappy> lol @ quit message [04:02]  <-- LordSkylark has left this server ("Computers are like air conditioners - They can't do their job properly if you open windows!").
[10:03] <AWOSLappy> ^ I love that.
[10:03] <m_billybob> lol
[10:03] <m_billybob> man
[10:03] <m_billybob> you know what
[10:03] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob what?
[10:03] <AWOSLappy> jowi: the message on stderr is couldn't open fontconfigs chosen font with Xft!!!
[10:03] <m_billybob> without sounding like a spokeperson for the darkside, i really dont see what the problem, this box has had months uptimes
[10:03] <n4cht> what's the easiest way to check what network interfaces your system is capable of?
[10:03] <m_billybob> spokeperson*
[10:03] <KennyR> eyequeue, Give me a sound-check.. say my name..
[10:04] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob s/spoke/spokes/  :P
[10:04] <m_billybob> yeah . . .
[10:04] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, first time I've seen a message like that. sorry
[10:04] <eyequeue> KennyR, 1 2 3
[10:04] <KennyR> hmm
[10:04] <Tomcat_> AWOSLappy: lol, good one ;)
[10:04] <KennyR> the beep didnt work
[10:04] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob yeah.  My Windows 2000 box provided me with 53 days.  my Linux box?  107 days :D
[10:04] <AWOSLappy> Tomcat_ :)
[10:04] <AWOSLappy> jowi: aw.
[10:04] <AWOSLappy> jowi: should I go to #KDE since #kubuntu is dead?
[10:04] <m_billybob> AWOSLappy: my saying is, its not the OS, but that *thing* between the chair, and keyboard ;)
[10:05] <m_billybob> (user)
[10:05] <eyequeue> KennyR, xchat is weird, some things it requires you quit and restart the app.  not sure if this is one of those or not
[10:05] <jussi01> PRBKAC
[10:05] <xenophile7x7> PEBKAC!
[10:05] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob PEBKAC!  (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)
[10:05] <jussi01> PEBKAC
[10:05] <AWOSLappy> we all screamed pebkac :P
[10:05] <Jowi> AWOSLappy, think you better. could the font be corrupted?
[10:05] <kane77> a bit of programming question, what are the columns in unix output (eg from ls command) separated with..)
[10:05] <m_billybob> hehehe
[10:05] <AWOSLappy> jowi: no, remember OOo works?
[10:05] <KennyR> eyequeue, what would it be under, when someone says my name.. I assumed 'beep'
[10:05] <m_billybob> AWOSLappy: like those people comming in here asking howto setup php/apache up as root ;)
[10:05] <m_billybob> lmao
[10:05] <emo> guys I have a question, I'd put my google.com/linux as my first page in my browser however I can't open and always when try I got that error 403 forbidden what that means ? before was fine
[10:05] <leagris> hello
[10:05] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob haha
[10:05] <eyequeue> KennyR, ahhhhhh, your uner one os the System menu items, aren;t you?
[10:06] <eyequeue> KennyR, under one of
[10:06] <KennyR> eyequeue, ??
[10:06] <AWOSLappy> emo: www.google.com, not google.com
[10:06] <AWOSLappy> anyways bye!
[10:06] <KennyR> eyequeue, Wait.. I found the option
[10:06] <eyequeue> KennyR, you want a setting in the xhat-itself menus, let me poke around and find it, if no one chimes in
[10:06] <leagris> About anacron. I encounter a possible bug I'd like to report/track but it is not in Launchpad. Where should I go for that?
[10:06] <AWOSLappy> bye m_billybob!
[10:07] <KennyR> eyequeue, Ok
[10:07] <m_billybob> you leaving ?
[10:07] <cyphase> I've been thinking of putting up fliers at the local community college offering installation and configuration services for Ubuntu, at a price. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I should put on it? Does anyone know of someone else doing this?
[10:07] <KennyR> actually eyequeue
[10:07] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob yeah, it's 4am here remember?  :P
[10:07] <keith> can someone remind me how to run a .sh script
[10:07] <KennyR> eyequeue, say my name again
[10:07] <AWOSLappy> keith: ./name
[10:07] <m_billybob> sleep well !
[10:07] <AWOSLappy> m_billybob you too :)
[10:07] <keith> AWOSLappy: hmm I tried that Ill try again
[10:07] <leagris> keith, sh whateverscript
[10:07] <AWOSLappy> keith: the first line should be:   "#!/bin/sh"
[10:07] <coNP> keith: either give that execute permissions or start via the interpreter (e.g. sh <script>)
[10:07] <eyequeue> KennyR, Settings > Preferences > Chatting > Sound
[10:07] <emo> AWOSLappy: I know man that problem is something else
[10:08] <KennyR> eyequeue, Got it working..
[10:08] <mneptok> #!/bin/bash
[10:08] <eyequeue> KennyR, groovy
[10:08] <m_billybob> mneptok: about rsync . . .
[10:08] <bwilson> how do i disable this sudo thing?  i want to be able to su to root
[10:08] <eyequeue> KennyR, what file did you use?   something short?
[10:08] <KennyR> eyequeue, Was under Chatting > General > and Beep on highlighted messages was unchecked
[10:08] <mneptok> bwilson: please don't
[10:08] <KennyR> yeah..
[10:08] <Jowi> !sudo | bwilson
[10:08] <ubotu> bwilson: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:08] <bwilson> mneptok: why not?
[10:08] <KennyR> eyequeue, It was info.wav or something
[10:08] <leagris> according to /etc/anacrontab it never go to /etc/cron.dayly/ Is tha a bug or something apt-configurable?
[10:09] <ardchoille> bwilson: That isn't supported configuration and can make your system less secure.
[10:09] <KennyR> eyequeue, I found it inside the sounds folder you told me about.
[10:09] <mneptok> bwilson: because sudo is far more secure
[10:09] <emo> AWOSLappy: look that that is what my browser show up :    We're sorry...
[10:09] <emo>     ... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
[10:09] <emo>     We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.
[10:09] <eyequeue> bwilson, you don't want to disable sudo, you might want to enable root password, instructions (and reasons) here (watch the bot)
[10:09] <emo>     We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.
[10:09] <Bryann> what difference between using sudo or su?
[10:09] <m_billybob> mneptok: when i said the other night, those params yo ugave me worked, well, only partially, when the files already exist, in the destination directory, it works, if they are not there, it still tried to copy everything
[10:09] <eyequeue> !rootsudo > bwilson
[10:09] <TheHerbalizer> so i tried installing debian on sda (having ubuntu installed on hda), and i think i moved grub off hda. i'd like to get it back there. assuming i dont care about what happens to the debian install on sda, how do i go about doing this?
[10:09] <Bryann> end result is =
[10:09] <mneptok> m_billybob: that's bizarre
[10:10] <eyequeue> Bryann, sudo is basically safer, su does some things that some programmers may want i suppose
[10:10] <m_billybob> mneptok: includes with rsync are case sensative ?
[10:10] <emo> AWOSLappy: I know what I mean now ?
[10:10] <jussi01> !grub | TheHerbalizer
[10:10] <ubotu> TheHerbalizer: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:10] <Jowi> emo, AWOSLappy's gone to bed
[10:10] <mneptok> m_billybob: yes
[10:10] <KennyR>  AWOSLappy (n=awilcox@unaffiliated/awosdev) has left #ubuntu ("Check out #AWOS -- Holy cow, I'm [[White & Nerdy] ] ! -- I'm a Wikipedian and proud! -- me <3 Linux -- #Kubuntu FTW!")
[10:10] <leagris> Bryann, sudo gives you a root session cooky permission to run listed allowed commands and it expires. Whereas su bring you to the root account shell without any controlable restrictions
[10:11] <m_billybob> mneptok: anyhow, im willing to bet, its an Edgy glitch / bug
[10:11] <emo> Jowi: you undertood my problem ?
[10:11] <n4cht> so... does anyone know the answer?  what's the easiest way to check what network interfaces your system is capable of?
[10:11] <emo> Jowi: what's is that man ?
[10:11] <m_billybob> mneptok: there are a lot of Edgy bugs, so it wouldnt surprise me.
[10:11] <Jowi> emo, I wasn't following what you were doing
[10:11] <m_billybob> udev causing IET (iSCSI), and Xen not to function correctly forstarters
[10:11] <Bryann> hmm it hasn't (sudo) caused me any problems yet
[10:12] <emo> Jowi: cool I gonna explain to you
[10:12] <cyphase> i don't know if my last message went through, so here it goes again..
[10:12] <emo> Jowi: okay ?
[10:12] <eyequeue> Bryann, both can hose your system totally if you're not careful of course, i didn't mean to imply that any type of rooting is "safe" heh
[10:12] <m_billybob> bbiaf
[10:12] <kane77> a bit of programming question, what are the columns in unix output (eg from ls command) separated with..??
[10:12] <cyphase> I've been thinking of putting up fliers at the local community college offering installation and configuration services for Ubuntu, at a price. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I should put on it? Does anyone know of someone else doing this?
[10:12] <Jowi> emo, sure
[10:12] <eyequeue> kane77, as in spaces vs tabs?  spaces i believe
[10:13] <kane77> eyequeue, yes that's what I meant...
[10:13] <KennyR> cyphase, Why charge, ubuntu is a 'free' community.. its better that way..
[10:13] <Bryann> I think it would depend on your market cyphase
[10:13] <KennyR> cyphase, Do it for the community, just like the community does it for you...
[10:13] <TheHerbalizer> jussi01: thanks, hopefully this works
[10:13] <cyphase> KennyR: same reason Canonical charges for support
[10:13] <Bryann> I generally charge 75 hr to work on someone's machine
[10:13] <eyequeue> cyphase, sounds like i've read that question on the forums maybe.  my personal feeling is probably differs a lot from one location to the next
[10:13] <ardchoille> kane77: Try this: echo "this is a " \ "test"
[10:13] <kane77> eyequeue, so only the same number of spaces? (I need that for parsing the output)
[10:13] <jussi01> TheHerbalizer: No probs mate -
[10:14] <KennyR> cyphase, Not to be cruel, but thats just making it harder for people..
[10:14] <jmazaredo> i get ide : failed opcode was : unknown     while installing 6.10  why i get this error
[10:14] <KennyR> cyphase, Its better to help one another for free..
[10:14] <Bryann> but I GIVE u/kubuntu cds to the public library
[10:14] <emo> Jowi: right my browser was working fine but today I open it and I got that message 403 forbidden, so I can't open www.google.com/linux
[10:14] <cyphase> KennyR: i do help people for free
[10:14] <Bryann> and will take emails to help
[10:14] <cyphase> mostly friends
[10:14] <Jowi> emo, clear the cache and the cookies and try again...?
[10:14] <cyphase> KennyR: but i can't spend all my time helping people for free
[10:14] <KennyR> cyphase, Thats good.. so why dont you just get a job then?
[10:14] <cyphase> you have to have money
[10:14] <KennyR> cyphase, keep ubuntu free
[10:14] <cyphase> KennyR: i'm not charging for the CD
[10:15] <KennyR> cyphase, Why!?!? Many other people do..
[10:15] <nevron> anybody who can help me configure my logitech mouse?
[10:15] <eyequeue> kane77, man there really must be a definitive place to look that up, but i can't think of where.  all i can really say is experiment before you do anything irrevocable
[10:15] <ardchoille> cyphase: You aren't in the Seattle WA area are you?
[10:15] <stevr1it> hello, i need someone to help me step by step in a very difficult operation. I need to move teh root to another hard disk which has only 2 partitions, one in windows and one ext3 with the home of uubuntu 6.10

[10:15] <cyphase> ardchoille: no

[10:15] <cyphase> KennyR: why is charging for my time wrong?
[10:16] <nevron> frogzoo i tried everythin in the ubuntu forums i am not able to make it work thanks though
[10:16] <KennyR> cyphase, Because this community is free, and everybody likes it that way... EVERYONE in here is helping each other for free.. Their NOT charging..
[10:16] <walla> could anyone give me a hand with converting audio files from m4a to mp3?
[10:16] <emo> Jowi: doesn't work I did try to open with another browser but didn't work.
[10:16] <KennyR> cyphase, If you need money and want to help do something, get a real job.. Like at a hospitol or something..
[10:16] <cyphase> KennyR: and i help people in here when i can as well. and i help my friends for free. but i can't help everybody for free
[10:16] <Jowi> KennyR, power to cyphase if (s)he can get paid doing what (s)he like.
[10:16] <stevr1it> who will be so kind to help me? i don't dare to do t by myself
[10:16] <Bryann> well I do do a few charging 140 us but that includes a Crossover license and reinstalling their essential win32 programs
[10:16] <cyphase> Jowi: he :)
[10:16] <pavs> any tutorial for installing dynamic ip with registered domain name with apache on ubuntu?
[10:16] <emo> Jowi: any ideal what could be ?
[10:17] <KennyR> Jowi, I just think its wrong, that you should charge for helping another person..
[10:17] <Frogzoo> nevron: which mouse?
[10:17] <nevron> logitech mx 500
[10:17] <KennyR> Jowi, The whole point of helping someone is to do something nice for one another.. with no price..
[10:17] <cyphase> KennyR: why is helping people with ubuntu not a "real" job? do i have to have an office?
[10:17] <Frogzoo> nevron: just a mo
[10:17] <jussi01> !offtopic
[10:17] <KennyR> Jowi, Otherwise.. it isnt 'help' at all.. its just a service..
[10:17] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:17] <eyequeue> cyphase, this is discussed on the web site i believe, and i've seen it become a heated debate sometimes, some places :)  i hope it won't here :)  but it is allowed, but it also goes against many individuals idea of "right" so just know it can be a "hot" topic? :)  thanks
[10:17] <nevron> thnak you frogzoo
[10:17] <CorpseFeeder> ok... apparently my drive looks like cactus, so I'll reformat and see what goes pear-shaped
[10:17] <KennyR> cyphase,  Otherwise.. it isnt 'help' at all.. its just a service..
[10:17] <cyphase> KennyR: what do you do for a living?
[10:17] <bluefox83> !automatix
[10:17] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:17] <Jowi> KennyR, you can't work for free forever.
[10:17] <mackinac> well if people want to pay for the service...
[10:18] <KennyR> cyphase, Im in construction, real-estate, etc
[10:18] <cyphase> KennyR: do you build/sell houses?
[10:18] <pavs> any tutorial for installing dynamic ip with registered domain name with apache on ubuntu?
[10:18] <KennyR> cyphase, I earn my money..
[10:18] <KennyR> cyphase, Yes I do..
[10:18] <emo> Jowi: ?
[10:18] <AbsintheSyringe> quick question, I'm not familiar with ubuntu, what's the minimum configuration?
[10:18] <eyequeue> cyphase, did i say that clearly enough, and non-offensively?  (this is why i'm not an op lol)
[10:18] <unop> pavs,  what exactly do you want to do?
[10:18] <KennyR> cyphase, But im not 'helping' them by building their house.. Im doing it for service
[10:18] <ardchoille> KennyR , cyphase Perhaps this needs to go to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[10:18] <AbsintheSyringe> I want t install ubuntu on my friends 800mhz and 128mb ram
[10:18] <cyphase> KennyR: why don't you help people get a house? why do you charge for it? now it's not help, it's a service
[10:18] <Bryann> don;t  think automatix works anymore anyway as the plf repos are dead and gone
[10:18] <KennyR> ardchoille, Topic has ended anyways
[10:19] <cyphase> eyequeue: ardchoille: sorry about that
[10:19] <Jowi> emo, I have no idea. clear the cache, restart browser. all i can think of if this problem only appear on that site
[10:19] <KennyR> cyphase, Do w/e.. im done wasting time.. I like to help people for free
[10:19] <pavs> i have dynamic ip i want use my registered domain name in my home computer
[10:19] <Frogzoo> nevron: edit your xorg.conf mouse section like so: works for me: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6076/
[10:19] <jussi01> AbsintheSyringe: use xubuntu alternate cd - you will be fine
[10:19] <emo> Jowi: is only in that site I have done that already.
[10:20] <Kornikopic2> Hi all! Someone to help me ?
[10:20] <nevron> frogzoo i am trying and i'let you know what happens
[10:20] <eyequeue> cyphase, i was just trying to head it off at the pass, *before* any flame wars started, just because i've seen them before, i'm sure you would never have slipped into one, no insult my firend :)
[10:20] <jussi01> !ask | Kornikopic2
[10:20] <nevron> do i need a fresh restart or can i just kill x and relogin?
[10:20] <ubotu> Kornikopic2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:20] <jmazaredo> what is wrong when i get error ide:failed opcode was:unknown when installing linux
[10:20] <cyphase> eyequeue: none taken, i understand
[10:20] <Kornikopic2> I've a problem with flash player 9 and firefox
[10:21] <Kornikopic2> I've installed firefox 2.0.0.1 and flash player 9. Installation OK
[10:21] <keith> damn I just installed 6.10 and Jahshaka is a *(&(^&(* to install
[10:21] <G0ttsche> whats Jahshaka?
[10:22] <Kornikopic2> When I go to a web site which contains flash element, it's ask to me to install flash player
[10:22] <Frogzoo> keith: you get it working?
[10:22] <Kornikopic2> Is there a solution?
[10:22] <keith> G0ttsche:  you can make cool video demos
[10:22] <Frogzoo> !flash | Kornikopic2
[10:22] <ubotu> Kornikopic2: 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
[10:22] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[10:22] <Jowi> pavs, that is not recommended. when you set up a domain name against an ipaddress it will take a few days for it to be updated
[10:22] <keith> no solution
[10:22] <Bryann> does the flash plugin show in about:plugins
[10:23] <goban> how do you find out what your super key is
[10:23] <G0ttsche> that sounds pretty cool Keith
[10:23] <Frogzoo> goban: it's the windows key
[10:23] <keith> G0ttsche: ya it was in 6.06  :(
[10:23] <ardchoille> keith: What was in 6.06?
[10:23] <Kornikopic2> Thanks Frogzoo, I try now !
[10:23] <keith> ardchoille: Jahshaka
[10:23] <Jowi> pavs, if you have a resonably stable "dynamic" ip (for example it only change one per six months) it's no problem.
[10:24] <ardchoille> !jashaka
[10:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jashaka - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:24] <G0ttsche> keith: ah I have to look into this
[10:24] <pavs> i still want to do it i did in my windows box it was preety straight forward, now that i dont use windows anymore i want to know how to do it in linux, i already have al the servers installed
[10:24] <goban> Frogzoo: its not doing what it should, is there a way to verify its working?
[10:24] <ardchoille> keith: Jashaka isn't in 6.06. I run 6.06
[10:24] <Jowi> pavs, what do you mean you did it in Windows?
[10:24] <keith> ardchoille: but I know how to install it if your interested
[10:24] <pavs> its preety stable rarely gets changed
[10:25] <ardchoille> keith: What is it?
[10:25] <jussi01> pavs: dyndns i think - google it
[10:25] <keith> ardchoille: its a good for making video intros
[10:26] <pavs> jowi i used a software called directupdate that update my ip to the server
[10:26] <stevr1it> please anyone to help me to copy step by step the root partition to another hard disk and to modify the fstab and grub?
[10:26] <coNP> ! ddclient | pavs

[10:26] <coNP> I hope this helps, pavs
[10:26] <kungfugoat> what's that command to check what library a program uses?
[10:26] <nevron> Frogzoo thank you for your help it worked like a charm thank you very much
[10:26] <Jowi> pavs, you don't set the A record in the operating system. if you purchased a domain name you set it up with a dns tool where you bought it.
[10:26] <Frogzoo> nevron: yw
[10:27] <pavs> i will check it out can i use my registered paid domain with that?
[10:27] <Jowi> coNP, he's got a registered name
[10:28] <coNP> oh, I am not sure, but it is worth trying, I think
[10:28] <Jowi> pavs, you should go to the site from were you registered the domain and set it up from there.
[10:28] <coNP> pavs, which site?
[10:28] <unop> pavs, if you have a dynamic IP address, you might want to use something like no-ip or dyndns or zoneedit in conjunction with your domain name
[10:28] <pavs> jowi http://www.zoneedit.com/ check this out
[10:29] <unop> pavs, so you want to use zoneedit then?

[10:30] <Jowi> pavs, that's nice from them. free of charge for 5 domains. not bad
[10:30] <ddnngg> sorry
[10:30] <unop> pavs,  you need to change the NS records on your domain name to use the zoneedit nameservers and then use a zoneedit client to update zoneeedit
[10:31] <pavs> crap i have to go, something happened, i will come back later to talk about this,might need helpto set it up. tnx
[10:31] <ddnngg> for iso i use : sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/iso/diablo_2_expansion_disc.iso /media/cdrom0
[10:31] <coNP> pavs: this site states that ddclient is okay for that
[10:31] <unop> ddnngg,  how can you be sure that htd-foef.bin is an .iso file?
[10:31] <ddnngg> but it dont work with bin's
[10:31] <pavs> be back later sorry
[10:31] <unop> ddnngg,  use something like unrar to extract the files
[10:32] <ddnngg> and pack them to iso ??
[10:32] <tim167> how can i prevent my screen from going in standby ?
[10:32] <unop> ddnngg,  if you want that, you can do that later -- but i suppose you are mounting this file to get at the contents, right?
[10:32] <st3> tim167, don't do it, save energy.
[10:32] <ddnngg> no
[10:33] <ddnngg> Cedega ;)
[10:33] <tim167> st3: i need this for a presentation , just one night, ill turn off the heating
[10:33] <cyclops> need help with a recording issue
[10:33] <unop> ddnngg,  then yes, make an ISO after
[10:34] <st3> well. if you use ubuntu, you will have a fancy graphical tool to do that
[10:34] <st3> just check in "screensaver" options
[10:34] <jstarcher> how do I get a whole directory with the commandline ftp client?
[10:34] <Jowi> st3, gnome-power-preferences if the screensaver is already turned off.
[10:34] <stevr1it> does anyone can help me to move the root of ubuntu 6.10 to another hard disk, change the fstab and to move grub also? i would not like to make a mistake
[10:34] <Jowi> tim, gnome-power-preferences if the screensaver is already turned off.
[10:35] <Jowi> st3, sorry was meant for tim167
[10:35] <st3> Jowi, i never used ubuntu and never will. i'm here by mistake :P
[10:35] <nevron> can anybody help me about this error?
[10:35] <nevron> (gksudo:7357): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",
[10:35] <Jowi> st3, welcome :) Join the dark side
[10:35] <jens> hello, I'm a student of the uni of gent (belgium) and we got the permission to install ubuntu on some uni pc's. We would like to use fai to do this, but we dont really know how to correctly set this up. Is there anybody here who could help us? or tell me where I could get help? thx
[10:37] <tim167> Jowi i tried Power Management "put display to sleep when inactive for <never>" but that doesnt work, sceen still goes in standby, i remember doing this before adding something about DPMS in xorg.conf, but i cant remember what it was, it had to do with "energy star" setting too...
[10:37] <Jowi> nevron, install the pixmaps engine
[10:37] <Jowi> jens, what is "fai"?
[10:38] <cyclops> if I uninstall OSS will ALSA stop working?
[10:38] <unop> ddnngg,  http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/104/450752/30/60/threaded
[10:38] <nevron> Jowi: i can't find it in synaptic?
[10:38] <jens> Fully Automatic Installation
[10:38] <CorpseFeeder> i formatted the drive and reinstalled and it's all working again with no errors from fsck. I think the problem might be connected with the fact that I am running an ultra320 drive on an ultra2 SCSI adapter... so I will take the drive out and sell it, and replace it with an old ATA133 drive instead.
[10:38] <jens> Jowi: fai is an acronim for Fully Automatic Installation
[10:38] <ardchoille> tim167: xset -dpms ?
[10:39] <kungfugoat> I'm trying to use Rhythmbox but it's telling me that I need GStreamer plugins to play mp3 files
[10:39] <kungfugoat> how I wish my ipod could play ogg
[10:39] <tim167> ardochoille: yes somethig like that ... xset -dpms off ?
[10:39] <jens> we just want a way to install ubuntu from a server, I'm talking over 100 pc's here, so doing one by one with a cd isn't really a good option
[10:40] <ardchoille> tim167: man xset, it explains a lot.
[10:40] <nevron> Jowi: the module is called gtk-engines-pixmap and it is already installed
[10:40] <ddnngg> unop http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Mount-ISO-image-2216.shtml
[10:40] <ddnngg> hmmm :>
[10:40] <Jowi> nevron, no, that one's for gtk1.2
[10:41] <nevron> ok which package am i looking for
[10:41] <tim167> ardchoille: thanks! i think thats what i needed, going to try it by not touching computer for a while now :)
[10:42] <jekson_> hi, I need to acess to the folder c:\program files created by WINE how can i do this
[10:42] <jens> jekson_: in your wine folder there should be a program calded explorer.exe
[10:43] <jens> you can use this
[10:43] <Jowi> nevron, wait a second. will check. it's not in the repos (maybe it's installed by default nowadays i don't know). will have a look
[10:43] <ardchoille> nevron: Which type of theme are you trying to use?
[10:43] <nevron> Jowi thank you for your hardwork :)
[10:43] <CheshireViking> jekson_, from memory, if you open your home folder and set it to display hidden files & folders, there should be a .wine folder, i think the c:\program files is held within that folder
[10:44] <jekson_> but where is the wine folder i don't find it
[10:44] <jekson_> ok I try
[10:44] <ardchoille> jekson_: CTRL+h in nautilus will unhide hidden files/folders
[10:44] <nevron> ardchoille: what do you mean by that this error message appears on any theme i use since the installation
[10:44] <sancho21> anybody know hardware information like Everest in Linux? So I can easily know my hardware specification.
[10:45] <nevron> even in the deafult ubuntu theme i get the same error
[10:45] <ardchoille> nevron: That kind of error message usually means you don't have the engine that the theme needs to use.
[10:45] <unop> sancho21,  lshw and hwinfo
[10:45] <ardchoille> nevron: Have yo been deleting files with sudo lately?
[10:45] <nevron> ardchoille: :) no
[10:46] <jekson_> i found it thanks
[10:46] <stevr1it> i need to more the root of ubuntu , which is in one hard disk , to another hard disk , whoc an help me step by step?
[10:46] <ardchoille> nevron: Is there anything in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines ?
[10:47] <jstarcher> hey can someone explain to me why when I run "mget somedirectory" it says no file or directory?????
[10:48] <nevron> ardchoille:let me see well i dont have the 2.4.0 folder instead i have the 2.10.0
[10:48] <ardchoille> nevron: You're on Edgy?
[10:48] <nevron> yes i am on 6.10
[10:48] <Jowi> nevron, i found the libpixmap engine there. it should be included.
[10:49] <wijnand> why can't i change anything about the launchers in my menu? when i do, i can choose between "revert" and "close", and the only difference seems to be that close both reverts AND closes...
[10:49] <nevron> Jowi under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines$ i do not have a libpixmap enigne
[10:49] <ardchoille> nevron: You should have some libpixmap.* files in there
[10:49] <nevron> ardchoille: under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines$ i do not have a libpixmap enigne
[10:50] <ardchoille> nevron: Ok, sounds like a theme is trying to use the libpixmap engine but you don't have it.
[10:50] <nevron> ok how do i install it?
[10:50] <Lynoure> jstarcher: Directory is not a file in the ftp sense, I think, try using directory/* instead on just cd directory and them mget *
[10:51] <jstarcher> Lynoure, I read that mget is not for getting directories anyways
[10:51] <Jowi> nevron, here, take mine: http://burninghands.eu/pixmap/
[10:51] <cyclops> I need help trying to capture audio from my microphone in Ubuntu...  Its a Sound Blaster Live! card, mic works in Windows, and I've set the capture settings according to the Ubuntu forum solution, it still doesn't work, so I'd like some help.
[10:51] <jstarcher> Lynoure, and that you should tar it first
[10:51] <nevron> jowi and ardchoille there's no package listed under synaptic called libpixmap engine?
[10:52] <Lynoure> jstarcher: tar it first? What's the 'it' in this? (note, I have no more context than your question above)
[10:52] <benabag> does anyone know if the bcm4311 wifi card will be supported in feisty without ndisswrapper?
[10:52] <nevron> Jowi should i take all the listed files?
[10:52] <ardchoille> nevron: apt-cache policy gtk2-engines-pixbuf   and see if that is installed or not
[10:52] <jstarcher> Lynoure, the ftp man :P
[10:52] <Jowi> nevron, ah wait. it is in the gtk2-engines-pixbuf
[10:53] <Bergcube> I'm having a temporarily fit of alzheimers...  You can download floppy images off the net for example to update a machine's flash bios.  What command / utility do we use under Ubuntu to write such an image TO the floppy?  :-S
[10:53] <Jowi> nevron, if installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf doesn't help, yeah take them all
[10:53] <Mazaev> Bergcube: dd
[10:53] <nevron> ok thank you i am trying now
[10:53] <ardchoille> nevron: gtk2-engines-pixbuf provides the libpixmap engines
[10:54] <bwilson> how can i figure out where samba has mounted my network drive?
[10:54] <Bergcube> Mazaev~  There it was.  Thanks!
[10:54] <nevron> ok found it synaptic and installing it
[10:55] <tom__> Hello
[10:55] <tom__> can any 1 give me links 2 a program that can burn iso files to disc, like alcohol 120%
[10:55] <Lynoure> jstarcher: you do not need to tar ftp. Nor to tar the files on the server to get them with mget
[10:56] <Mazaev> tom__: sudo apt-get install k3b
[10:56] <ardchoille> tom__: nautilus can do that, graveman (repos) can do that, k3b (repos) can do that.
[10:56] <nevron> ok i have a different error now :)
[10:56] <ardchoille> nevron: Pastebin the error?
[10:56] <jstarcher> Lynoure, when I do what you say it does this: mget forums/memberlist.php? y
[10:56] <jstarcher> local: forums/memberlist.php: No such file or directory
[10:56] <nevron> anyway things seem to work besides all the error messegas in the terminal i think i can get away with this thank you
[10:56] <Jowi> jens, by the way; have a look here under the "advanced" section you might find what you're looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[10:56] <Lynoure> jstarcher: But I probably still do not know what you meant with 'tar it' so maybe I'll just stop trying to help and let someone elso do it
[10:57] <jstarcher> Lynoure, well I just did mget *
[10:57] <jstarcher> and got that
[10:58] <ICQnumber> does ubuntu has only gnome window manger and kubuntu only kde?
[10:58] <Lynoure> ICQnumber: you can install both on both

[11:01] <ICQnumber> is there a good ati fglrx driver support for (k)ubuntu?
[11:02] <Jowi> nevron, you can set the default soundcard with "asoundconf". if that doesn't do it for you, disable the onboard sound in bios if you need.
[11:02] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: the latest proprietary fglrx meets all my needs
[11:02] <J_P> hi all
[11:02] <nevron> Jowi i have already disabled the onboard soundcard from the bios settings yet ubuntu is somehow able to use it :)
[11:02] <Frogzoo> !fglrx | ICQnumber

[11:03] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: yep, there's a repo for the proprietary fglrx - just follow the howto
[11:03] <ICQnumber> i do not have ubuntu installed i m just thinking about it
[11:03] <Mazaev> err
[11:04] <Mazaev> that should be lsmod, not modprobe
[11:04] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: 3d works, suspend works, screensavers work - I'm 100% content
[11:04] <nevron> hmm are you sure this is the right command?
[11:04] <Mazaev> nevron: lsmod.. and err.. don't paste tha tinto the chan :-)

[11:05] <ticki> i want to execute a start up SH script. does anybody know a way to do this. i found that i specify more than one GUI program. only the first will be executed and once this one is closed the next one will be executed, and so forth. is there a way to avoid this?
[11:05] <ICQnumber> i have seen this fglrx howto, but can u use xgl, compiz or beryl with this fglrx driver without any problems?
[11:05] <unop> ticki,  send each command into the background and that'll ensure non-blocking
[11:06] <ticki> unop: how do you do that?
[11:06] <unop> ticki,  e.g. command &
[11:06] <Jowi> nevron, Mazaev's idea can do the trick. disable the mpu-401 module

[11:11] <Jowi> nevron, oops, should be snd_mpu401
[11:11] <tom__> How can i run nautilus or w\e its called, i need to burn an iso
[11:12] <Bonanzo> defrysk Does /etc/issue works in every linux distro? Like fedora, suse, debian?
[11:12] <defrysk> tom open filemanager and rightclick the iso , and select burn
[11:12] <nevron> Jowi ok i just did that now can i just ctrl+alt+backspace and relogin
[11:12] <Mazaev> I think it actualls IS snd-mpu401
[11:12] <nevron> which one is correct :)
[11:12] <jekson_> how can acess to hide folder with console
[11:12] <Mazaev> hell, put both

[11:13] <nevron> hahahha Mazaev that was a great advice :)
[11:13] <Bonanzo> defrysk And what is the equivalent cmd for redhat-basied ?
[11:13] <nevron> ok i am nuking the system wait :D

[11:13] <Frogzoo> ICQnumber: beryl is _beta_ I'm just assuming by the time it's released it will work - feisty is coming in april
[11:13] <unop> !version
[11:13] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[11:13] <Bonanzo> defrysk What about "uname -a" .. same thing? Correct?
[11:14] <unop> Bonanzo,  that doesnt tell you what distro you use tho
[11:14] <defrysk> uname - a gives the kernel info
[11:14] <defrysk> uname = linux
[11:15] <nevron> this time the default soundcard thingy is just empty
[11:15] <unop> Bonanzo,  usually distros have a /etc/release  .. on redhat it might be /etc/{redhat,REDHAT}-release on suse /etc/SUSE-release ..
[11:15] <nevron> :)
[11:15] <Jowi> nevron you need to reboot
[11:15] <nevron> should i do another lsmod and do a pastebin
[11:15] <nevron> ok i am rebooting
[11:16] <Bonanzo> unop It's better if i can use the wildcard =) .. /etc/*-release ..
[11:16] <walla> could anyone help with installing gtkpod? when it opens it opens an error box, but gives me no error message
[11:17] <unop> Bonanzo,  that'd skip out /etc/release tho :)

[11:18] <ICQnumber> frogzoo: can you use compiz then, why do u think, beryl is beta?
[11:18] <unop> Bonanzo,  lsb_release -a should work on LSB distros -- there's also /proc/version
[11:19] <nevron> ok now i cant run xmms it tells me to check some settings about my soundcard :D
[11:19] <nevron> trying amarok

[11:53] <sohum> how can I enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) on my Edgy x86_32 on a 64bit CPU which defintely supports it?
[11:53] <kungfugoat> I've never set up a scsi card before
[11:53] <kungfugoat> If I set them up as an array, do I just select it as /dev/sdxx?
[11:53] <LMNT_OX> ok back
[11:53] <CheshireViking> seeing a few grub questions here at the minute, over the weekend, i'm going to install feisty on a spare partition just to have a look at it, no doubt it'll re create grub on its own partition, to return to my original one, do i just need to boot using a live cd and type "grub-install /dev/hdb1" where hda1 is my windows drive, hdb is a multi partition drive for linux on which my normal grub is installed in nteh ubuntu partition on h
[11:53] <CheshireViking> db1?
[11:54] <unop> fong .. at a minimum -- / - 3-4GB , swap @ 2xRAM and whatever else you can afford for /home
[11:54] <Dimensions> if i am installing grub into my sda1 (usb flash drive)  what would be location for i hd2 ? or hd0 ?
[11:55] <Gorlist> Morning
[11:55] <KingSnake> Dimensions: whichever is the boot drive
[11:55] <unop> sohum,  errm, DEP is a windows thing -- look at this here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit#Linux
[11:56] <fong> unop, so basically 3-4GB is for the system files only?
[11:56] <Gorlist> quick question, when I log into Ubuntu it automatically loads OpenOffice Writer... any ideas why :) ?
[11:56] <Dimensions> KingSnake:  i donno ... it shows my flash drive as sda1 ... im also having my internal hdd attached ... ?
[11:56] <Jowi> Gorlist, check if it is listed in the session astartup
[11:56] <Gorlist> last time I logged out the session was not saved - keep doing it
[11:56] <LMNT_OX> ne good dvd players for Ubuntu???
[11:56] <Gorlist> where could I check the session astartup list?
[11:57] <unop> fong,  yes, indeed
[11:57] <KingSnake> Gorlist: preferences
[11:57] <Jowi> Gorlist, "gnome-session-properties"
[11:57] <paitken> Arcad5: I can't figure it out :x
[11:57] <KingSnake> under system
[11:57] <sohum> unop: ok...... so I can't enable the NX bit because HIGHMEM64 is not supported?
[11:57] <fong> i think i can afford max of 4 only.. any suggestions?
[11:57] <fong> 4 GB max for all partitions
[11:57] <KingSnake> Gorlist: Sessions, maybe it went in there somehow
[11:57] <vlt> How can I convert istanbul's (reccommendedby ardchoille for capturing X screens to movies) output (ogg theora) to either avi or a sequence of image files?
[11:58] <Gorlist> Jowi: running Xubuntu  :)
[11:58] <cma> fong: @ moment my machine using 2.6 /
[11:58] <Jowi> Gorlist, ok, just ignore what I said :)
[11:58] <Gorlist>   :)
[11:58] <fong> cma, 2.6 for installation, how much for home and for swap?
[11:58] <unop> sohum,  yes, thats what it says
[11:58] <Gorlist> sorry should have made it clear
[11:58] <unop> :)
[11:59] <ardchoille> vlt: Maybe ffmpeg ?
[11:59] <fong> im gonna be using it for my work laptop already
[11:59] <sohum> unop: so I'd have to compile my own kernel if I wanted to get it...?
[11:59] <ardchoille> !ffmpeg
[11:59] <Gorlist> im guessing theirs something similar - will head over the Xubuntu IRC channel
[11:59] <ubotu> ffmpeg: multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 175 kB, installed size 612 kB
[11:59] <KingSnake> Dimensions: what does it show when you type "mount" in a term
[12:00] <cma> fong: thats with extras installed in /.  As for /swap 1 -> 2 x ram and what ever is left for /home
[12:00] <unop> sohum,  why do you want to get it anyway .. :) if you install packages and run code from trusted sources .. you should have no need for this
[12:00] <LMNT_OX> bbl thanks n e ways all ":)
[12:00] <sohum> unop: I'm paranoid ;)
[12:00] <unop> sohum,  so i see :)
[12:01] <fong> cma, so wouldn't 'whatever's left' be insufficient for home?
[12:01] <sohum> unop: (it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you... aaaargh...)
[12:01] <unop> sohum,  but to answer your question ... i'm not really sure, there might be something with sysctl that you can change
[12:01] <cma> fong: depends on what kind and amount of data you deal with
[12:02] <sohum> unop: thanks muchly for your help :)
[12:02] <unop> fong,  do you have a windows partition too?
[12:02] <fong> unop, yes.
[12:02] <cma> fong: how much would it leave you?
[12:02] <fong> cma, what you mean?
[12:02] <fong> im planning to run VMWare too to get my win partition to run
[12:03] <unop> fong,  i have seen some dual-booters place their /home on their ntfs partition so that they have all their document from both installs placed in c:\documents and settings\%username%\ ..
[12:03] <cma> fong: i.e. music takes up alot of space
[12:03] <unop> fong,  how much memory do you have?
[12:03] <unop> RAM i.e.
[12:03] <fong> unop, just 512MB
[12:04] <cma> fong: text base data on dosn't
[12:04] <fong> cma, again?
[12:04] <unop> fong,  you could do this 3.5GB for / and .5GB for swap then .. it'll work
[12:04] <fong> unop, then for home, it would be shared with the win partition?
[12:04] <roxlu> hi all
[12:04] <cma> fong: different kinds of data demand more or less space
[12:05] <roxlu> Does someone here installed Internet Explorer on Ubuntu?
[12:05] <unop> fong,  but thats a very conservative setup, you probably will run out of space if you install quite a lot
[12:06] <unop> fong,  initially you dont have to worry about /home .. it will be created as a folder under / .. once you have installed ubuntu and then installed ntfs-3g .. you can move /home over to your windows partition and mount it as /home
[12:06] <fong> !ntfs-3g
[12:06] <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)
[12:06] <cma> fong: yes unop's is a good solution if you just want to take a look
[12:07] <fong> cma, actually i'm not planning to look, will be using the installation for good already..
[12:08] <unop> fong, what i think would be a little better tho is to mount the windows parition as /media/windows .. and have /home point to /media/windows/"documents and settings"/$yourusername/
[12:08] <unop> fong,  sorry, /home pointing to /media/windows/"documents and settings"/
[12:10] <fong> unop, ok thats a good suggestion... will definitely consider it.

[12:25] <Keneo> hello, I'm a student of the uni of gent (belgium) and we got permission to deploy ubuntu on some uni pc's (around 100 to start). So we would like to know how we should do this. installing ubuntu with a cd to all pc's ain't really an option...
[12:26] <ashwin2882> qiyong: Its in restricted repo
[12:26] <unop> qiyong,  if you enable all the repositories, update apt, you should be able to do a search for like this -- aptitude search "japan|kata.*ka"
[12:27] <erUSUL> Keneo: if they are similar you can create a partimage image of the instalation (root) of one pc and restore it in all the others
[12:27] <babo> erUSUL: right, so turn off all the other repos and tell me if you can get emacs then ...
[12:27] <Keneo> erUSUL, they are not
[12:27] <Keneo> and they should be dual-boot with winodws
[12:27] <Keneo> windows*
[12:28] <Keneo> windows get's reinstalled frequently (every 3-6 months) using unattended install
[12:28] <unop> Keneo,  if you have 100 and dual-boot requirements, the best way really is to clone harddrives
[12:28] <Keneo> now I should like to know if ther eis anything like unattended for linux
[12:29] <CrummyGummy> google?
[12:29] <smartman> hi guys i want to make alan server how to ?
[12:29] <Keneo> unop, we are not in charge of the windows installation, and the windows installation happens using http://unattended.sourceforge.net/, and they are not willing to change that
[12:29] <unop> Keneo,  there are unattended installs for linux, i just dont see them working around windows paritions
[12:29] <Frogzoo> Keneo: check the wiki
[12:29] <fabietto_> ciao

[12:29] <bimberi> Keneo: Have a look at the Installation/LocalNet subpage to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[12:30] <Keneo> thx bimberi I'll look into it :)
[12:31] <bimberi> Keneo: yw :) (although I'm not sure about the dualboot requirement)
[12:31] <Keneo> The above steps should give you an interactive setup, very similar to if you had booted from the CD.
[12:31] <Keneo> we would like to have an automatic setup
[12:31] <unop> Keneo,  well, frankly whatever you do, the dual-boot is always going to pose a hassle

[12:42] <livingdaylight_> It still feels very creepy that youtube sound became scrambled for the first time when i watched scientology clips.
[12:42] <Flannel> It may still work, but I don't believe debian and ubuntu use the same libc version currently.

[12:53] <whadar> erUSUL: all ubuntu releases need the fuse line in /etc/modules?
[12:53] <whadar> i mean does fuse deb adds it on certain versions?
[12:54] <Frogzoo> KennyR: perl java c++
[12:55] <KennyR> Frogzoo, any more?
[12:55] <MarcN> KennyR: working on some homework?
[12:55] <Frogzoo> KennyR: -> google 'object oriented language'
[12:55] <KennyR> Frogzoo, I did a google with no avail..
[12:55] <KennyR> MarcN, No im a VB/C++ programmer, and im switching to Linux
[12:55] <Frogzoo> KennyR: if at first you google & don't succeed, google again
[12:56] <erUSUL> KennyR: it would be a long list.... c#, smalltalk, common lisp, ruby, ....
[12:56] <KennyR> Frogzoo, No offense.. iv been googling for about 5 hours now
[12:56] <MarcN> KennyR: google object oriented and the first hit is for wikipedia which provides a huge list.
[12:56] <Frogzoo> KennyR: and you didn't dig up java in 5 hours of googline? lol
[12:56] <KennyR> erUSUL, Yeah, iv seen them all.. but isnt there anything thats more.. user-friendly..
[12:56] <KennyR> Frogzoo, I did
[12:57] <KennyR> Frogzoo, I dislike Java for certain reasons.
[12:57] <Frogzoo> KennyR: half the web runs on java - it can't be that bad
[12:57] <KennyR> My main interest was in Real-basic, but it costs..
[12:57] <erUSUL> KennyR: the languages does no have nothing to do with the ides or rad env for them...
[12:57] <KennyR> Frogzoo, Half the web runs on php, and I like php, but its a bit complicated at times.
[12:57] <erUSUL> KennyR: try gambas a basic with rad tools
[12:57] <KennyR> erUSUL, ill try that
[12:57] <erUSUL> KennyR: or lazarus a delphi "clon"
[12:58] <erUSUL> KennyR: eclipse has a c++ ide besides the java one...
[12:58] <KennyR> erUSUL, ill check into that too, im taking notes as we go
[12:59] <MarcN> KennyR: you didn't find wikipedia's entry in 5 hours of searching?
[12:59] <erUSUL> KennyR: if there is something in which unix/linux shines it is precisely in programming languages
[12:59] <KennyR> MarcN, I did, but didnt give me what I was looking for.
[12:59] <KennyR> erUSUL, I understand, thats why im switching to ubuntu.. I have many ideas, I want to contribute to Ubuntu
[01:00] <jussi01> la de da...
[01:02] <peterretief> could anyone help me get lp printing to work - cups already works
[01:02] <peterretief> cant find much documentation on cli printing
[01:03] <erUSUL> peterretief: lpr works with cups without problems here (it is what acrobat reader uses btw)
[01:03] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lp -d PRINTER
[01:04] <Frogzoo> ooh - lpr mebbe
[01:04] <mgrant> I'm installing ubuntu desktop 6.10 on my laptop.  It has windows in partition #1 and I need to save that.  I created 2 extra partitions for swap and /.  I did NOT check the format box.  I choose to mount it on /media/hda0.  On the next screen, it warns me that all partitions will be destroyed, even ones I've removed!  That sounds scary.  How can I be assured that my windows partition will be left untouched?
[01:04] <slippyr4> anyone know of any resources on how to make my own bootcd with my current kernel and modules on it?
[01:05] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: check the wiki - customising ubuntu cd
[01:06] <GaiaX11> mgrant: Try to install running from the Live CD or better from the alternate CD
[01:06] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization?highlight=%28install%29
[01:06] <Gabrielote> !change permission
[01:07] <Dimensions> mgrant: when u resize your partition on next screen u select which ones u want to format your next two partition would be hda2 and hda5 for swap or something like that if you are using live cd of ubuntu ... and tick only those two to be formated ... this way you will save ur Windows partition ...
[01:07] <Frogzoo> !permissions | Gabrielote
[01:07] <ubotu> Gabrielote: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:07] <mgrant> GaiaX11, LiveCD?  I didn't see that CD, is that different from the Desktop CD?
[01:07] <Gabrielote> uHAuHAhuA thx frogzoo
[01:07] <Dimensions> mgrant:  u are installing dapper or edgy ?
[01:07] <GaiaX11> mgrant: much better
[01:07] <GaiaX11> mgrant: have you already used that?
[01:07] <mgrant> Dimensions, not sure, it was marked Desktop 6.10
[01:08] <mgrant> The CD I downloaded was named ubunto-desktop-6.10-i386.iso if that helps
[01:09] <mackinac> (6.06 codename = "dapper drake" ; 6.10 = "edgy eft")
[01:10] <mgrant> Dimensions, I did pretty much what you said.  However, there was no format box for the later two (/ and swap).  I left unchecked the format box for the first one (my windows partition)
[01:10] <GaiaX11> mgrant: The only thing you need to to is not formatting your win partition. And ubuntu will take care of the rest :-)
[01:11] <Kresjah> Hey! I've been told that in the dri/mesa packages with ubuntu, the modules for getting mach64 running with acceleration has been disabled for security reasons. Anyone know how to get this enabled and running?
[01:11] <mgrant> Cool, so I can safely ignore the scary message.
[01:11] <Dimensions> mgrant: dont worry abt it just dont check format for windows partition and dont put / and swap on other than windows partition .... thats it ...
[01:11] <cafuego_> A mach64 is so slow, what would be the point?
[01:11] <peterretief> erUSUL: Frogzoo lpadmin gives nothing
[01:11] <Dimensions> btw you are installing Edgy which is latest one ... is fine ...
[01:12] <Kresjah> cafuego: Because I need it to run some of the apps I use on my lappy
[01:12] <fong> is anyone using vmware player to boot their existing windows partition?
[01:12] <mgrant> Thanks all.  That's consistent with all the other unixes I've installed.  However, it would be sweet if that scary message was a little more exact telling me that it was going to preserve that partition!
[01:12] <mjr> A mach64 can do many things accelerated, like many of the less demanding free games
[01:12] <mjr> (but I dunno how to enable that easily)
[01:12] <Kresjah> It can run Doomsday Engine decently :p
[01:12] <Dimensions> mgrant:  it will give this message always no matter u dont have any thing on disk even ... just done tick windows partition
[01:13] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lpstat
[01:13] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lpstat -a
[01:13] <erUSUL> peterretief: just out of curiosity why do you need alod lp support? i have only used lpr and lpq with acrobat reader i use usually graphical tools or the web interface (that you have to manually enable)
[01:14] <Frogzoo> unix printing is wierd - it's ok to admit it
[01:14] <Kresjah> But, nevertheless, the point of my question wasn't discussing the performance of the mach64 accellerated, but rather getting it working
[01:14] <peterretief> erUSUL: i want to copy a postcript file directly
[01:14] <peterretief> to a printer
[01:14] <Frogzoo> peterretief: lpstat -a
[01:15] <peterretief> ah :)
[01:15] <peterretief> life
[01:15] <Frogzoo> good times
[01:15] <peterretief> Z600-v1.0-1 accepting requests since Fri 16 Feb 2007 11:45:56 AM SAST
[01:15] <Rune_> hi.. stupid question. ubuntu i386 should work on amd 64?
[01:15] <mackinac> yes
[01:15] <peterretief> Frogzoo:
[01:15] <chrisjw_> yes but it won't take advantage of the extended memory set
[01:16] <Rune_> chrisjw_; of course
[01:16] <Rune_> anyway i get 2 lots of 4 beeps.
[01:16] <Rune_> 1 long, 3 short kinda like a video card post error
[01:16] <Nam_K> et.net
[01:16] <chrisjw_> what is your boot device?
[01:16] <mamzers555> hello, i have the file md5sums and md5sums.gpg
[01:16] <Rune_> can anyone confirm that they have installed i386 version on amd64?
[01:17] <mamzers555> what can i do with md5sums.gpg?
[01:17] <Frogzoo> Rune_: most everyone
[01:17] <Rune_> cool
[01:17] <mamzers555> or how can i verify something with this file?
[01:17] <erUSUL> Rune_: me, (well i have not instaled it i changed the hardware of an existing install)
[01:17] <Rune_> yeh ive installed other i386 linux on amd64
[01:18] <mackinac> !md5sum
[01:18] <ubotu> To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more
[01:18] <Rune_> ill try the 64 iso for fun.
[01:19] <_Jaak_> is there a graphical tool to get my ubu laptop to connect via bluetooth to a pan network (cellphone) so i can acces internet?
[01:19] <Gabrielote> people, can i use chmod to change folders permition???
[01:19] <Rune_> how about Xen? I'm hoping to run windows without XT support or whatever it is
[01:19] <Gabrielote> people, can i use chmod to change folders permition???
[01:20] <skold> chmod -R
[01:20] <Gabrielote> ohhh thx
[01:20] <cma> Gabrielote: yes
[01:20] <Rune_> let us know if you find any other uses of chmod
[01:20] <peterretief> should -R also be recrsive
[01:20] <Rune_> oh, files tool
[01:20] <Rune_> .
[01:20] <Rune_> too
[01:21] <tom47> !chroot
[01:21] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[01:21] <Gabrielote> ok thx
[01:21] <valehru> Hey guys, I just installed unreal tournament 2004 on edgy.  However there is no sound.  Anyone have a clue how to fix it?
[01:21] <Gabrielote> is the argument -R for folders only?
[01:21] <mackinac> man chmod
[01:22] <Rune_> valehru, u got sound in anything else?
[01:22] <Frogzoo> Gabrielote: yes, if you have write permission to the parent directory
[01:22] <cma> Gabrielote: R is for recursive
[01:22] <Gabrielote> ok, thx frogzoo
[01:22] <GaiaX11> Gabrielote: Folders and all the files inside it
[01:22] <Rune_> -R is for doing everything inside a folder
[01:22] <Rune_> chmod foldername is fine for just a folder
[01:22] <valehru> Rune_, sound works perfectly on the system, but I have killed mpd.  No sound apps are running as far as I know.
[01:23] <abyss> lo anyone knows a good applet for evolution where i dont need to have evolution running to recive the mails?
[01:23] <Rune_> velehru; damn
[01:23] <Frogzoo> abyss: there's mail-notification, which is pretty crappy but light
[01:24] <abyss> Frogzoo, is it possible to run evolution backgrounded
[01:24] <IdleOne> test
[01:24] <erUSUL> abyss: a mail checker? gnu biff??
[01:25] <abyss> so that i can close the gui of it but its still running (mail-checker only check pop accounts for mails, but i let copy of messages for 7 days on server cause multi-client synchronization)
[01:26] <Frogzoo> abyss: usually it just sits in the tool bar...
[01:28] <elias1> hello
[01:28] <Gabrielote> !package
[01:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about package - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <Gabrielote> sorry....
[01:29] <Gabrielote> how to build a package?!
[01:29] <elias1> I deleted my panel barin the which appears in the bottom of the screen, when I tried to put a new one, is emty
[01:29] <Rune_> !sucking
[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sucking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <elias1> does anyone knows how can I put the default back?
[01:29] <Gabrielote> people....

[01:29] <Gabrielote> how to build a package?!!?!?!
[01:30] <elias1> because now when I minimize the application I'm running, it disappears!
[01:30] <Simulator> i got this msg when type glxgears -printfps
[01:30] <Simulator> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[01:30] <Simulator> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[01:30] <Gabrielote> people........how to build a package?!?!?!?
[01:30] <CheshireViking> !patience
[01:30] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:31] <cma> elias1: right click on bar and add
[01:32] <elias1> cma
[01:32] <cypher1> Gabrielote: there is a debian packaging manual available.. also you can find help in #ubuntu-motu
[01:32] <cma> elias1: add window list
[01:33] <elias1> I did that, but I can't find where can I see my application
[01:33] <elias1> wait
[01:33] <Spo8> I've been following this (http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX) guide on installing beryl, and whenever I run sudo apt-get install beryl, it just says "E: Couldn't find package beryl" after it readies a few things.  anyone know what's going wrong?
[01:33] <Rune_> Spo8; problem with your sources?
[01:33] <Rune_> /etc/apt/sources.list or something?
[01:34] <elias1> cma: these bars are looking tooooo small
[01:34] <elias1> they are about 0.3 cm width
[01:34] <Spo8> Rune: well I followed the guide to a T, so it shouldn't be a source problem
[01:34] <elias1> I can't see even the name!
[01:34] <cma> elias1: add show desktop & workspace switcher
[01:34] <Rune_> Spo8; sources can change over time and become invalid
[01:35] <Rune_> beryl is cool hehe
[01:35] <cypher1> Spo8: did you do "sudo apt-get update" ?
[01:35] <cma> elias1: right click properties 24 pix
[01:35] <Rune_> oh..
[01:35] <Spo8> cypher1: Yes, I did.  I followed that guide I linked line for line
[01:35] <cma> elias1: I think that's the default
[01:36] <Spo8> oh well except for one part.  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.  How do I get it to come back to the GUI after this?
[01:36] <elias1> It was in the properties
[01:36] <elias1> but it wasn't that the problem
[01:36] <elias1> I have clicked the expand property
[01:37] <cma> elias1: ah yes. Cool
[01:37] <elias1> It's in my language Greek
[01:37] <elias1> I don't know if it's expand in english
[01:37] <Spo8> Oh I think I might have found the problem.  I was checking on the sources I added at the beginning and it adds
[01:37] <cma> elias1: yes it is.
[01:38] <Spo8> *sorry, it adds "restricted" to the end of both of them.
[01:38] <elias1> Then my english is good
[01:38] <cma> elias1: all back to normal?
[01:38] <elias1> hehe :p
[01:38] <Rune_> yay i win
[01:38] <elias1> yea
[01:38] <Sanne> hi
[01:38] <Spo8> so am I doing something wrong for it to be adding "restricted" to the end of those?
[01:39] <Spo8> hey sanne
[01:39] <cma> elias1: your english is excellent.
[01:39] <Rune_> Spo8; yeh they shouldn't say restricted
[01:40] <elias1> cma: I now think, that I should replace the bar with a desklet
[01:40] <elias1> hehe
[01:40] <Spo8> Hmm, well it seems to be doing that every time I enter them.  Am I doing something wrong like not saving before I leave?
[01:40] <Spo8> (can you tell this is my first day on linux?)
[01:40] <mackinac> elias1:  you added a "window list" to the panel?
[01:41] <Rune_> Spo8; what editor
[01:41] <Rune_> the problem might be caused by copy/paste.. you might have selected the arrow images
[01:41] <Spo8> Rune_: nano, I believe
[01:42] <Rune_> Spo8; Ctrl+o ?
[01:42] <Rune_> to save
[01:43] <IdleOne> ctrl+x
[01:43] <Rune_> ah
[01:44] <Sanne> I just repaired some file system errors on my root partition that caused it to be mounted read only. It seems to be ok now, but I'm worried about how this could have happened. Could anybody please have a look at the fsck output? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6089/
[01:45] <Rune__> wish me luck on amd64
[01:45] <Kresjah> Hey! I've been told that in the dri/mesa packages with ubuntu, the modules for getting mach64 running with acceleration has been disabled for security reasons. Anyone know how to get this enabled and running?
[01:46] <abyss> Frogzoo, i got now the problem when im closing evolution then the email-notification-evolution quits too. is there no possibility to run evolution on closing backgrounded
[01:47] <yossir> Hi. Are the other lists of recommended software for Ubuntu like this one: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/06/26/essentials-2006 ?
[01:47] <Frogzoo> abyss: if there is, I haven't found it yet
[01:47] <elias1> bye bye
[01:48] <abyss> i mean, like skype on clicking x it goest to the taskbar and running backgrounded on click on the icon then the gui appears again
[01:50] <Lynoure> yossir: That's just what he likes, so maybe there is. You could also go to #ubuntu-offtopic to ask people there for their recommendations
[01:50] <yossir> Lynoure: yeah, but he's a smart guy.
[01:50] <yossir> his advice was helpful. I installed some of his recs, and they rocked.
[01:51] <erUSUL> Sanne: if it was only *one* inode there is no reason to be worried. you can check the SMART output of the harddisk just in case...
[01:52] <Lynoure> yossir: some of those are unrecommended here, e.g. easyubuntu
[01:52] <Spo8> Okay so I got beryl installed this time, but now whenever I actually launch it with beryl-manager, it goes to a black screen, then the flashing cursor at the top, then it restarts my session and puts me at the logon screen.
[01:52] <yossir> Lynoure: yeah, it sucked :(
[01:53] <Sanne> erUSUL: thanks for your answer, now I'm not so worried anymore :). I also thought about SMART and enabled it in the BIOS already. Do you also recommend installing smartmontools?
[01:53] <erUSUL> Sanne: yes, just to be safe
[01:53] <kenthomson> Can someone please help me?
[01:54] <erUSUL> !anyone
[01:54] <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?
[01:54] <kenthomson> My repositories look broken; i was trying to install k3d, and it threw some error, now i can't re-install it, remove it, run it, anything; and whenever i try to install something new it halts and i get "E: k3d: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"
[01:54] <Spo8> can anyone tell me how to update to the latest nvidia driver, please?
[01:54] <kenthomson> !nvidia
[01:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:55] <kenthomson> Spo8, though these are not the latest
[01:55] <Sanne> erUSUL: ok, I'll do that then. Thanks again, it really helps me calm down now. :)
[01:55] <erUSUL> kenthomson:  sudo dpkg --force-all -r k3b ??
[01:55] <whadar> how can i install kernel 2.6.20 with dapper?
[01:55] <Spo8> ah, thank you. kenthomson
[01:55] <whadar> !2.6.20
[01:55] <kenthomson> erUSUL, should i execute that? PLease remove the question marks and tell me that
[01:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 2.6.20 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:55] <whadar> !kernel
[01:55] <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
[01:55] <padge> I have a question about making a script in bash
[01:56] <kenthomson> Spo8, if you want to install the very latest nvidia drivers there's a more comlicated method let me see, i too would like to do it
[01:56] <padge> Is this done merely by typing a list of commands into the file, then setting it executable/
[01:56] <Spo8> come to think of it, i still have to change xorg so i actually get a decent resolution.  it's painful working in this low one.
[01:57] <Sanne> padge: you need to put '#!/bin/sh' at the top of the file (without quotes)
[01:57] <kenthomson> padge, exactly, but there are some rules to be followed; which you will find at Google "bash scripting guide"
[01:57] <erUSUL> kenthomson: yes try it
[01:57] <gary> I'm having some problems with flash.  I'm using firefox, and I have all the flash plugins installed.  In windows, the flash file plays perfectly.  But in firefox/gnu/linux I can only see the top-right hand corner of the file
[01:57] <padge> Thank you both
[01:57] <gary> I've checked this in firefox 1.5.x and firefox 2.x and it's both the same
[01:57] <gary> I'm puzzled, why this is happening
[01:57] <whadar> is it even possible to have kernel 2.6.20 under dapper?
[01:58] <kenthomson> erUSUL, please see #kensworld
[01:58] <Flannel> whadar: possible?  of course.  supported or simple? no.
[01:58] <gary> Has anyone experienced this sort of problem before, or have any idea why this may be happening?
[01:59] <yomm> gary : flash isn't enabled/installed by default
[01:59] <Sanne> padge: I'll give you three links of bash scripting intros I found useful (in addition to the bash scripting guide, which is very detailed)
[01:59] <Flannel> gary: Do you have flash7 or flash9 installed?  if the former, install the latter.  It's available in backports.
[02:00] <padge> Sanne: Awesome.  Thanks :)
[02:00] <gary> Actually, I've just noticed this error on the command line: ** Message: don't know how to handle application/x-shockwave-flash

[02:01] <gary> Flannel: I have flash7 installed.  Where can I find the backports apt sources?
[02:01] <yomm> thx hobbsee
[02:01] <Hobbsee> Mez: far too late.
[02:02] <Spo8> that !nvidia link is dead
[02:02] <Spo8> for the driver
[02:02] <Mez> Hobbsee, :P
[02:02] <Flannel> gary: actuall, for things like this (a single package) it's best to not add the entire repository (because it has other side effects), but just download the package and install it manually.  you can download from packages.ubuntu.com
[02:02] <kenthomson> whats happening?
[02:02] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: DONT PASTE IN HERE!!!!
[02:02] <ikonia_> your flooding the channel
[02:02] <Flannel> kenthomson: you got removed to stop the flood.  use pastebin.
[02:02] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: READ THE TOPIC
[02:02] <floozy> I have a server with ubuntu 6.06 installed on it, I only have command line access on it through SSH, and I want to install a desktop platform on it and remote desktop to it ;o
[02:02] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: the topic will help you.
[02:02] <gary> Flannel: I'll try that.  Does the error message I pasted look correct and implies I need flash 9 installed?
[02:02] <elkbuntu> kenthomson, you forgot about pastebin, then fell victim to mez' lag ;)
[02:02] <Hobbsee> floozy: sudo apt-get install <packages>
[02:02] <kenthomson> Hobbsee,  But i did it once and i realise it, is recursively kicking some going to help
[02:03] <ikonia_> yes
[02:03] <Sanne> padge: got my link list?
[02:03] <Flannel> gary: packages.ubuntu.com, then search for flash (same package name) in *-backports, click the package, scroll down to the bottom, download the file for your arch, install with dpkg
[02:03] <ikonia_> helped thewhole channel
[02:03] <ikonia_> for your ignorance
[02:03] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: i didnt do the second kick.
[02:03] <Flannel> gary: that error message looks like you don't have the flash plugin installed at all
[02:03] <kenthomson> erUSUL, can you help me further?
[02:03] <Spo8> hmm... it would seem the entire help.ubuntu.com is down.
[02:03] <gary> Flannel: strange, as flash works for other sites
[02:04] <Mez> kenthomson, sorry for the second kick... my PC was lagging
[02:04] <elkbuntu> Spo8, yeah technical problems at the moment. patience is advised
[02:04] <elkbuntu> :-/
[02:04] <erUSUL> kenthomson: try reinstalling it with apt 'sudo apt-get install k3b' if you get errors paste them to a pastebin
[02:04] <Flannel> gary: odd.  Well, maybe FF has some weird mime type thing going on.  But I imagine that mime is sent by other sites as well.  since I believe that's the standard one
[02:05] <ucordes> where is the settings file for irssi in ubuntu?
[02:05] <erUSUL> kenthomson: sorry i have to go away...
[02:05] <kenthomson> erUSUL, igo
[02:05] <Rune__> ok... disc installer just sits there with an underscore at top left corner after selecting install or safe graphics install
[02:05] <Flannel> ucordes: ~/.irssi/config
[02:05] <Flannel> Rune__: did you verify the disk?
[02:05] <gary> Flannel: I've been fiddling around with the mime type in apache.  And that file is from the apache server.  I used this line in apache: AddHandler application/x-shockwave-flash .swf
[02:06] <gary> Never mind, I'll try install flash
[02:06] <Rune__> well the same thing happens with 2 other discs, one of which i verified
[02:06] <irega> hi
[02:06] <ucordes> Flannel: how do i put settings there, that are not yet included? like autoignore_time.. how do i put that in?
[02:06] <padge> Sanne: Yes, I have them.  I'm currently reading one that I found with google as directed.  I have the three you gave me in a gedit tab waiting for me :)
[02:06] <Flannel> gary: Wait.  Is it a shockwave?  er, let me check.
[02:06] <Rune__> i have 3 discs all doing same thing, 1 verifying the other 2 i didnt try.
[02:06] <kenthomson> Can someone please help me? I installed a package called k3d, it got installed; but now i can't run it, remove it, anything. It has been installed from official ubuntu repos. can someone help me clean up this mess, i get weird outputs while installing that package or any other package...
[02:07] <gary> Flannel: Something is strange here.  I go to http://10.0.0.xx/mysite/images/myfile.swf and it does display just a little corner of it
[02:07] <Flannel> Rune__: must be hardware issues.  Install from the alternate CD
[02:07] <floozy> I know about apt-get, dont know what package I need though
[02:07] <ikonia_> what happens when you try to run it ?
[02:07] <gary> When I hover over the file, the mouse icon flickers
[02:07] <Sanne> padge: ah, cool, I thought you might be reading already. :) Have fun!
[02:07] <gary> So the flash file is playing, but not all of it is shown. Just a very small corner bit
[02:07] <Rune__> Flannel; is alternate smart or has more drivers?
[02:07] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Is it k3d or k3b?
[02:08] <Flannel> Rune__: alternate is textmode installer, console based GUI
[02:08] <Rune__> ic...

[02:09] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:09] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, k3d, D=Donkey
[02:09] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: sudo dpkg --purge k3d
[02:09] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, system scrolls like hell, giving lot of errors and nonsense
[02:10] <floozy> so can anyone tell me how I can install a desktop, cant find anything with apt-get
[02:10] <gary> Flannel: Do you think it's worth installing flash 9 if the file is playing but only showing a small part of it
[02:10] <Flannel> floozy: ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop, or xubuntu-desktop
[02:10] <babo> my cursor is all messed up when I try to write in some applications. I think it might be an nvidia graphics card error. Does anyone know what I should do exactly ?
[02:11] <Flannel> gary: I don't know.  flash9 fixes a ton of issues with flash though.
[02:11] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Have you tried the cli that I gave you?
[02:11] <babo> it's especially bad in gimp, where the paint cursor 'leaks' ink all over the canvas ...
[02:11] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, yes, the output of that commands gives weird text
[02:11] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:12] <aalhamad> is there a pakage that locks file or program?
[02:12] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: So try to remove that through synaptic and check remove totally
[02:13] <kenthomson> HELP!: apt-get broken; problem occured while installing a package from official ubuntu repos called k3d (it is K3D); Now i can't run it, can't remove it (not in synaptic nor CLI); any everytime i try to install something new; this message (see the link below) comes in between before i can install anything. HELP. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6096/
[02:13] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, read that!
[02:14] <ikonia_> kenthomson you've already flooded the channel with that abotu 3 times
[02:14] <aalhamad> is there a package that locks file or programs?---plz help
[02:14] <ikonia_> give it a resst please
[02:14] <babo> does anyone answer questions in #ubuntu anymore ... ? ... or has it turned into a #centos ?
[02:14] <ikonia_> yes we answer questions
[02:14] <kenthomson> ikonia, call the apps and give a kick to me, and let the lurkers complain about flooding the channel and let the people who need support get kicked into the abyss
[02:15] <ucordes> Flannel: could you please help me with my irssi config problem? i don't understand where to put which options
[02:15] <ucordes> are there any guidelines for that?
[02:15] <Flannel> ucordes: just the manual
[02:15] <ikonia_> kenthomson I recognise you need support - yet constantly flooding the channel won't get it for you
[02:15] <Flannel> ucordes: er, that is the online manual, not the man page.  Well I guess the man page may have it too, I suppose I haven't looked
[02:16] <kenthomson> Frogzoo, i need some help
[02:16] <ucordes> Flannel: you mean http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Irssi#Completion this by online manual?
[02:16] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: un-install  and install apt-get again
[02:16] <ikonia_> kenthomson you've been given 3 suggestions to try
[02:17] <Flannel> ucordes: http://www.irssi.org/documentation
[02:17] <IdleOne> babo, it could be that nobody knows the answer to yuor question
[02:17] <ikonia_> babo whatsthe question ?
[02:17] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, nothing works
[02:17] <ikonia_> kenthomson we need more detail than "nothing works"
[02:17] <aalhamad> is there a package that locks file or programs?---plz help
[02:17] <ikonia_> what are the errors
[02:17] <ikonia_> aalhamad just use permissions
[02:17] <gary> Flannel: Flash 9 installed, although it still seems like firefox is using flashplayer7
[02:18] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Have you tried aptitude to do  what I just have said to you?
[02:18] <babo> IdleOne, ikonia_ :My cursor is screwed, I think my nvidia graphics card isn't working with ubuntu or something ...
[02:18] <aalhamad> ikonia, but i want a pop up password.. rather than using the consile
[02:18] <ikonia_> babo are you using the nvidia drivers ?
[02:18] <aalhamad> ikonia, but i want a pop up password.. rather than using the temernal
[02:18] <kenthomson> ikonia,  GaiaX11, when i try to sudo apt-get remove i get "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"  and it is not un-installed
[02:18] <ikonia_> aalhamad then use permissions and sudo
[02:18] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: type in the terminal: aptitude
[02:18] <babo> ikonia_ : just a fresh ubuntu install ...
[02:18] <aalhamad> ok thanks
[02:18] <ikonia_> babo install the nvidia drivers ?
[02:18] <babo> ikonia_: Do I have to go and install the drivers myself then ?
[02:19] <babo> ahh
[02:19] <IdleOne> !nvidia | babo
[02:19] <ubotu> babo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:19] <ikonia_> babo yup
[02:19] <babo> ikonia_: does easyubuntu handle it ?
[02:19] <ikonia_> NEVER use that
[02:19] <ucordes> Flannel: i allready was there. but i can't find anything on how to put those settings in the conf file :(
[02:19] <babo> ikonia: it's that bad then yes ?
[02:19] <ikonia_> babo BIG TIME bad
[02:19] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: try what I told you. Use aptitude guy
[02:20] <ucordes> Rune_: your isp doesn't like you eh?
[02:20] <kenthomson> GaiaX11, the interface is too confusing
[02:20] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:20] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: Do not teorize. Follow the steps
[02:20] <ikonia_> kenthomson use windows
[02:20] <Rune_> ucordes; theoretically it should have no bias, i pay $$
[02:20] <Sanne> kenthomson: there are some bugs related to k3d here, maybe it helps finding your problem:  http://tinyurl.com/2ha8s7
[02:20] <kenthomson> ikonia_, why don't you shut up if you can't help!
[02:20] <ikonia_> kenthomson because I can help as can GaiaX11 but your not listening
[02:20] <ikonia_> and your clearly too dumb
[02:20] <Rune_> uhoh
[02:21] <kenthomson> can someone get this punk out of my site
[02:21] <kenthomson> !ops | ikonia
[02:21] <ubotu> ikonia: Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[02:21] <kenthomson> He's abusing
[02:21] <gnomefreak> kenthomson: ?
[02:21] <Frogzoo> !patience
[02:21] <ikonia_> kenthomson lsten to whats being said - there are 3 options to remove the packages - have you tried them ?
[02:21] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:21] <kenthomson> gnomefreak, <ikonia_> kenthomson use windows
[02:21] <mackinac> typical linux user attitude
[02:21] <Mez> !botabuse | kenthomson
[02:21] <ubotu> kenthomson: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[02:21] <kenthomson> gnomefreak, <ikonia_> and your clearly too dumb
[02:22] <gnomefreak> ikonia_: please dont talk down to people
[02:22] <babo> ikonia_: Am I better off going to nvidia and downloading the drivers from there ?
[02:22] <clem> babo: you can try envy
[02:22] <babo> ikonia, why in god's name is TV-Out support a prerequisite.
[02:22] <babo> ?
[02:22] <ikonia_> gnomefreak then he needs to listen and stop flooding the channel
[02:22] <clem> babo: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[02:22] <gnomefreak> ikonia_: if he doesnt listen than help someone else
[02:23] <babo> lspci | grep nvidia doesn't show any nvidia  text ...
[02:23] <ikonia_> babo use the guide on wiki.ubuntu.com - use the drivers from ubuntu
[02:23] <babo> it's empty.
[02:23] <GaiaX11> kenthomson: I am a Brazilian native Portuguese speaker and I self-learnt linux. You can do even better than me because it seems that you are an English native speaker. So, try aptitude. Only read the docs to understand.
[02:23] <ikonia_> gnomefreak no chance, he's being a pain in the neck, the channel shouldn't put up with it
[02:23] <aalhamad> what support i can find to be a netwrok admin. in my local netwrok? as my routor was set up using widows... i just want to control it and check who log in and log out
[02:23] <aalhamad> thank
[02:23] <aalhamad> thanks
[02:23] <ikonia_> fed up of pansey approach to people who cry wolf but don't want to fix it#
[02:23] <Sanne> babo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:23] <ikonia_> babo just download the drivers and follow the guide
[02:24] <elkbuntu> ikonia, if you're at that point of frustration, you need to walk away for a few minutes rather than insult
[02:24] <Sanne> babo: use: lspci | grep -i nvidia
[02:24] <GaiaX11> Don't fight guys. Take it ease :-)
[02:24] <ikonia_> aalhamad this is ubuntu support only
[02:24] <aalhamad> ikonia, where can i find support plz?
[02:24] <ikonia_> elkbuntu I just stated a fact - he should use windows if all the interfaces are too complex and he can't / doesn't want to listen to help
[02:24] <ikonia_> aalhamad no idea
[02:25] <GaiaX11> brb :-)
[02:25] <BogusBill> hello everyone, I'm having problems with my cpu frequency scaling on a Pentium 4, some one can help?
[02:25] <elkbuntu> ikonia, it might be a fact, but that does not mean you should verbalise it.
[02:25] <Bluespear> Hello, I've a fresh ubuntu installation but don't remember base login, just the password :o Has it a default root acount ?
[02:25] <Sanne> ikonia_: a bit more patience on your side would help, I think. We were all confused beginners sometimes.
[02:25] <ikonia_> elkbuntu nor would I have done if the user had been flooding the channel constantly
[02:26] <elkbuntu> ikonia, if you have a problem with a flooding user, utilise the ops, rather than breaking the CoC with insults
[02:26] <ikonia_> Sanne I am patient with people who don't keep saying "help help help" - then say they don't want to do that when you help, then I have no time for them
[02:26] <BogusBill> some one knows anithing about a p4-clockmod module without the N60 errata?
[02:26] <bofphile> Hi !
[02:26] <bofphile> Does anyone know how to disable the infrared port (for a remote) on my Packard Bell laptop ?
[02:26] <Sanne> ikonia: I understand your frustration, but still, try to remain respectful and polite, if you can.
[02:26] <Seveas> elkbuntu: repeat offender, just ban :)
[02:26] <gnomefreak> ah
[02:26] <elkbuntu> Seveas, wasnt aware, sorry
[02:27] <babo> Sanne: ahh ... thanks ...
[02:27] <babo> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 01d8 (rev a1)
[02:27] <Seveas> elkbuntu, no need to apologize ;)
[02:27] <babo> so I guess I don't have the driver then ... I'm installing the restricted modules now ..
[02:27] <Sanne> babo: you're welcome :)
[02:27] <cma> Bluespear: there is a root account, but if you want to access it sudo
[02:27] <Sanne> babo: lspci lists not your driver, but your cards. It was for determining you really have an nvidia card :)
[02:28] <babo> Sanne: aye, thanks
[02:28] <Sanne> babo: but follow this page, and if you already have the driver package installed, you will get output accordingly.
[02:28] <babo> Sanne: I've a new computer, so nvidia-glx should be OK right ?
[02:29] <Bluespear> During installation, I specified the machine name (let to ubuntu by default) and a password, but no login :o How to log-in yet ?
[02:29] <Sanne> babo: I think so, but there's a link to a text file that lists hte cards that need the legacy driver. Check to be sure.
[02:29] <Ian-C> Howdy all!  I've stupidly selected a screen saver that crashes Ubuntu Edgy.  How can I turn it off or change it to a non-crashing one?
[02:29] <babo> Sanne: how do I find out what my card is ?
[02:29] <webby> Hello! Someone can help me with a problem on raid1 created with MDADM?
[02:29] <Sanne> babo: sec, phonecall
[02:29] <babo> Sanne: lscpi says unknown device
[02:29] <babo> k
[02:30] <cma> Bluespear:  did you create a user acct?
[02:30] <padge> Sanne: I just levelled up! :)
[02:30] <BogusBill> Some one knows if there is a workaround for the N60 errata on the p4-clockmode module for CPU frequency scaling on a Pentium 4 running edgy?
[02:30] <babo> how do I find out what nvidia card I'm running ?
[02:30] <Sanne> babo: back
[02:30] <babo> cool :-)
[02:30] <dooglus> Bluespear: log in as the user you created
[02:30] <Bluespear> noppe, seams I forgot
[02:30] <Sanne> padge: what does it mean? (sorry, german here) ;)
[02:31] <Bluespear> Is the root account disabled from login-screen ?
[02:31] <Sanne> babo: it also sais it here, so you shouldn't worry (I also have an nvidia card)
[02:31] <cma> Bluespear:  in that case reboot, press esc at grub, and login as root
[02:31] <babo> Sanne: says it where ?
[02:31] <dooglus> Bluespear: from the gdm login screen?  yes.
[02:31] <Theis> i have just formatted my new extern haddrive to EXT3, but i have no right to write on it ?
[02:31] <Bluespear> yes :)
[02:31] <padge> Sanne: A humorous reference to to role-playing games, where after defeating monsters or performing tasks you can gain experience.  Once a certain threshold is reached, your level increases by one, altering your stats to make you a more powerful character.
[02:31] <Sanne> babo: sorry, my lspc sais also unknown device for my nvidia card
[02:31] <mackinac> bluespear, if you can run a liveCD, you can browse your user /home directory, it's name will be the user name
[02:31] <babo> Sanne: I'll just go with nvidia-glx and see if that works ..
[02:32] <babo> Sanne: aye,
[02:32] <Bluespear> cma: thanks, I would try it :)
[02:32] <Sanne> babo: check here: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8762/README/appendix-a.html
[02:32] <Bluespear> mackinac, I would see (running it from virtualbox atm, so it was a kick test installation ;)
[02:32] <Sanne> padge: aaaah! hehe. Great BASH master, I bow before you. :)
[02:32] <webby> Hello! Someone can help me with a problem on raid1 created with MDADM?
[02:33] <Ian-C> I'm sure the screen saver is references in some configuration file, but what/where would I find it?
[02:33] <babo> Sanne: K, I'll go down for the reboot and see if it works ...
[02:33] <elias_> Is it possible to use a 32-bit version ubuntu even if i have a 64-bit cpu?
[02:33] <Sanne> babo: you don't need to reboot
[02:33] <babo> Sanne: well, gtk restart ...
[02:33] <padge> Sanne: I say that whenever after learning a few things several ligering questions get answered and many things fall into place, at which point I am able to do things I wasn't able to do
[02:33] <Sanne> babo: no
[02:34] <Sanne> babo: kill the x server with ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:34] <Rune_> elias; yes
[02:34] <floozy> ok so after I have finished installing ubuntu-desktop with apt-get install, what do I do now? startx?
[02:35] <Sanne> padge: I have to remember that, sounds cool. Thanks for the explanation.
[02:35] <elias_> Rune_, it wont have any "downsides" ?
[02:35] <Ian-C> Elias_:   What CPU are you using?   Most are backwards compatible with 32 bit instructions - so Yes you can run 32 Ubuntu

[02:41] <cypherdelic> can't login with my standard ubuntu-user. logs @ http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7571/ and http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7572/ - Please help, i think vncserver/-viewer messed something up.
[02:41] <Sanne> bye all
[02:42] <javatard> 64bit was killing me with the broadcom card. I had to go back to 32bit, took me 2 mins to set it up. The drivers for 64bit get a bit wonky
[02:42] <floozy> getting some font error when I try to start vncserver ;s
[02:42] <elias_> And I need to use a 32bit version of firefox to get flash :|
[02:42] <dave__> hi,  i am running an nvidia video card.  I have the resolution right but looking at the way my screen jumps and things when scrolling, it seems the drivers for my video card are not installed.  is there an easy way to install them?  i have a disk with the .exe for windows if that makes a difference.
[02:43] <Ian-C> Has anybody got a solution to the screen-saver crash problem?
[02:43] <javatard> Ian-C, what ya running?
[02:43] <BogusBill> Some one knows how to enable CPU frequency scaling on a Pentium 4 running edgy? The only solution I found on the forums is to recompile the kernel, manually editing the source of the p4-clockmode module to disable the N60 errata. Not what I would call a user friendly solution (I leaved my days of kernel compilation behind when I changed from slackware to debian 7 years ago :-)
[02:43] <swarog> hello
[02:44] <swarog> is ubuntu 6.10 server default installation maybe with X ?
[02:44] <Rienzilla> wow :)
[02:44] <Rienzilla> crowded :)
[02:44] <Ian-C> Javatard:  Ubuntu-Edgy - was trying out different screen savers to see what they looked like, hit the molicule one, and it crashes the entire system every time
[02:45] <aalhamad> what is nubuntu is it s network admin or an OS?
[02:45] <javatard> Ian-C, I had issues with some screensavers, upgrading to the lastest nvidia drivers helped me, maybe for you too? idk
[02:46] <Rienzilla> Hello everyone, I was wondering about the functionality of ubuntu backports. I entered appropriate lines in my sources.list, but in order to actually pick a package from the backports, do I need to set something in preferences? Or will it take all available backport packages automatically?
[02:46] <Ian-C> Java:  Saw that a lot in my Google searches - but sadly it won't work for me because this machine is running an old ATI Rage128 card
[02:47] <valehru> hey guys, how can I kill arts?
[02:47] <javatard> Ian-C,  you might check the beryl posts. They have a lot of solutions for video cards there, might give you an idea
[02:48] <javatard> Ian-C, just a thought
[02:48] <valehru> anyone here have a clue?
[02:48] <geckino> Why mount display "/dev/.static/dev/hda7 on / type reiserfs (rw)" but "/dev/hda7 on / type reiserfs (rw)"?
[02:48] <javatard> valehru, yea, the butler did it
[02:49] <valehru> ;)
[02:49] <elias_> If I install a 32bit distro on my 64bit pc, would I be able to use the 32bit progams and install flash and java without problems?
[02:49] <javatard> Ian-C, that is a PPC you are working with?
[02:50] <javatard> Ian-C,  go to the PPC forums on Ubuntu I found what you are looking for
[02:50] <swarog> hm, ubuntu 6.10 server reported it cant retrieve kernel from current apt source
[02:51] <swarog> now its failing 'select and install software' part
[02:51] <valehru> For the love of god, I can't figure out why UT2004 doesnt have any sound when playing...
[02:51] <gordonjcp> is something running that's taken over the sound?
[02:51] <gordonjcp> esd, or jack or something?
[02:52] <Ian-C> Java:  Nope an x86 machine (AMD 1333)
[02:52] <valehru> gordonjcp, how can I check?
[02:52] <aalhamad> i have a 2 linux Pc and 3 Xp PS at my place... i want to setup a netwrok between all og them .. i want to make on Linux Pc as an admin and the others as clients... how can i do that ? plz help me with support or wiki's :)
[02:52] <javatard> Ian-C, it was used in PPC as well, I privated you the info
[02:52] <gordonjcp> valehru: ps | grep esd?
[02:52] <gordonjcp> ps | less and see what's running maybe?
[02:52] <javatard> aalhamad, samba
[02:52] <gordonjcp> valehru: does sound work generally, like with rhythmbox?
[02:53] <|Bot|> who can say me? i can sell PC at install ubuntu?
[02:53] <valehru> ps | grep esd -> nothing
[02:53] <valehru> ps | less gives no sound applications
[02:53] <aalhamad> javatard, it can make me as an admin .. and control the people who log in on the network?
[02:53] <gordonjcp> valehru: check that some other program can produce sound, and that the mixer channel isn't muted and the volume is up
[02:53] <valehru> sound plays perfectly with bmp and banshee
[02:53] <swarog> ideas?
[02:53] <gordonjcp> valehru: alsa mutes sound by default
[02:53] <javatard> aalhamad, that sounds more like an LDAP thing
[02:54] <aalhamad> ooh ok..
[02:54] <Matthai> hi, anybody knows how to tar & gzip a file, but the archive should be splitted into many smaller files, for example 1 Gb size each?
[02:54] <javatard> aalhamad, and the XP would have to be pro to auth with kerberos or you need to do some haking
[02:54] <gordonjcp> valehru: 'cos of course only a total noob would spend ages messing about the to get the sound working, only to discover the master out is muted
[02:54] <gordonjcp> <shuffles feet, looks at shoes>
[02:54] <valehru> gordonjcp, nah its not that
[02:54] <mackinac> !tar
[02:54] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[02:54] <aalhamad> javatard, ok help me with a wiki plz to control and see hows loged in my netwrok?
[02:55] <gordonjcp> (in my case, it was another channel on the physical audio mixer my PC was plugged into set to SOLO)
[02:55] <gordonjcp> d'oh
[02:55] <javatard> aalhamad, I would start by googling LDAP and mixed networks, thats just me though
[02:55] <aalhamad> ok thanks
[02:56] <geckino> what's /dev/.static/..?
[02:56] <Dante123> hi all.....when someone says heir ubuntu installation is "broken"....what exactly do they mean?  What are the symptoms?
[02:57] <valehru> Dante123, ineptitude
[02:57] <Dante123> valehru.....please elaborate.
[02:57] <osfameron> that's a little unkind :-)
[02:58] <osfameron> Dante123: "broken" is a slightly over the top way of saying "doesn't work"
[02:58] <valehru> Dante123, it usually refers to packages being out of date
[02:58] <Dante123> I hear people saying things like "automatix broke my installation" etc...what symtoms are they seeing?
[02:58] <valehru> Dante123, or wrongly installed packages
[02:58] <osfameron> the reasons for calling something broken range from bugs, to user error, to high expectations :-)
[02:59] <Dante123> can't login.....programs crash...???
[02:59] <valehru> basically it means things don't work as they should, ie, when packages being installed have unexpected results..
[02:59] <Dante123> so.....would you steer a newer user away from automatix
[02:59] <Dante123> ?
[03:00] <mackinac> !automatix
[03:00] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:00] <valehru> Dante123, automatix is fine...
[03:00] <aeromix> I have a question: grep -o "&rid\=[0-9] \{6,7\}&" $f | grep -o "[0-9] \{6,7\}" | while read f; do uid[$a] =${f}; let a=$a+1; done; echo "$a" why is $a 0 and not the number of finished loops?
[03:00] <Frogzoo> Dante123: if you want to use automatix fine, but the -> #automatix for support
[03:00] <Dante123> okay....okay......that's the "official" party line.....I am asking you as an individual user
[03:00] <ardchoille> Dante123: automatix is not supported and should be avoided.
[03:01] <jussi01> Dante123: Ive used it, no probs, but now I dont bother, its better to get the stuff yourself
[03:01] <Dante123> okay....I didn't know they had a chatroom......is it "hard" to do what automatix does.....for the average newer user....becuase I will avoid it if I can...
[03:01] <valehru> Dante123, if it makes you happy to use it and adds precious seconds to your interesting life with which to watch pron then by all means use it......Personally I avoid it...
[03:01] <javatard> Dante123, broken = borked or Fubar or Windowslike
[03:01] <Frogzoo> Dante123: there's excellent howtos for everything automatix does
[03:02] <Dante123> Is there a unofficial guide somewhere you recommend?
[03:02] <Dante123> Frogzoo....any links to it?
[03:02] <LjL> Dante123, i don't know what exactly automatix does, but tell us what *you* want to do
[03:02] <ardchoille> Dante123: I feel it is better to learn how to do that stuff yourself. That way, if anyting breaks, you will be better equipped to fix it rather than be totally lost.
[03:02] <Frogzoo> Dante123: -> #automatix
[03:02] <javatard> Dante123, the forums are very good at telling you how to install via command line. It is a straight forward text command and something good to learn IMO
[03:02] <Dante123> Well.....my kids want flash and java for their computer.....

[03:48] <GarySaved> GaiaX11: I think it is 6.10.  WHere does it say.
[03:48] <unska_> ferret_0567, apt-get install nvidia-glx i think :o
[03:48] <igor> blue|palm: I will be glad to use it.. if you release under GNU/GPL
[03:48] <ashaman> ferret_0567: have you tried easyubuntu
[03:48] <Meizano> Ashaman: So if I get a wired connection for downloading whatever I need to install the WiFi, I'm set? There being no other way and all...
[03:48] <igor> blue|palm: Im a science teacher.
[03:48] <blue|palm> igor: wow

[03:49] <Meizano> Ashaman: I've got a USB flashdrive, I thought I could transfer some install files or something over using that.
[03:49] <blue|palm> igor: Im tempted to release it as closed source but free
[03:49] <unop> ferret_0567,  the nvidia modules need l-r-m .. so if they remove them, they probably will reinstall them (upgrade)
[03:49] <ashaman> Meizano: yea

[03:51] <CapaH> Hi all, quick question. I notice that Ubuntu seems devoid of 'typical usage' sounds (i.e. you close a window and hear a ding that sort of thing) --- is there a place I can go to create a less quiet work environment?
[03:51] <igor> blue|palm: ok.. be welcome.. im here to help.
[03:51] <blue|palm> igor: But if i release it as open source it would benefit so many people
[03:51] <blue|palm> igor: so i dont know :(
[03:51] <GaiaX11> GarySaved: cat /etc/issue
[03:51] <unop> JohnRobert,  just avoid it -- and if you have an off topic discussion, move it to #ubuntu-offtopic

[04:05] <sebrock> CapaH, any ESSID?
[04:05] <CapaH> yes sebrock
[04:05] <sebrock> The right one I guess?
[04:06] <Gabrielote> please i installed a pci modem, the model is AMI515A but it ins't recognized
[04:06] <Gabrielote> help me!
[04:06] <sebrock> CapaH, so can you ping the routers IP?
[04:06] <ferret_0567> You will defiantly want NetworkManager.
[04:06] <ferret_0567> But do what sebrock said first
[04:06] <bunted> hola
[04:07] <bunted> anyone try glftpd on ubuntu?
[04:07] <Gabrielote> hola
[04:07] <Gabrielote> necessito ayuda
[04:07] <erUSUL> !pt
[04:07] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[04:07] <sebrock> CapaH, try ping 192.168.0.1 ,this is usually the IP of router
[04:07] <unska_> unop, i added every single one of the edgy debs to my sources.list and i still cant find the package
[04:07] <phatrabbit> hi is it true beryl does not work on ubuntu 6.06
[04:07] <phatrabbit> dapper
[04:07] <CapaH> sebrock I got replies
[04:08] <sebrock> ok so thats a good sign
[04:08] <sebrock> and ping www.google.com gives?
[04:08] <CapaH> Well one question... how can I instruct my pings to use eth1 instead of eth0 ?
[04:08] <ferret_0567> Yeah, it's true unless you do some special steps that are unsupported phatrabbit
[04:09] <phatrabbit> oh ok thanks
[04:09] <sebrock> CapaH, hm... are you connected with the same computer on a wire now?
[04:09] <CapaH> i.e. I have an ethernet cable plugged in in addition to wireless -- which is obviously how I am on IRC :)
[04:09] <GaiaX11> Gabrielote: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#Modems_.2F_Network  Modems / Network
[04:09] <rylan> ok, i need to edit xorg.config but it is read only, how do i edit it?
[04:09] <phatrabbit> i found a wiki on how to install it, i will give it a go
[04:09] <unop> unska_,  run this command and use a !pastebin to show us what you get -- sudo aptitude update
[04:10] <Gabrielote> join #ubuntu-ar
[04:10] <Meizano> If I download gcc-4.1.2.tar.gz onto a flash drive and unload it into Ubuntu, would I be able to extract and install it, then use it to compile NdisWrapper?
[04:10] <[M] Darkorical> ok I installed ubuntu from a 6.06 dapper disk (only one I could get to work) then I upgraded to 6.10 edgy from inside now when trying to instal vid drivers it askes for the ubuntu 6.10 disk
[04:10] <sebrock> CapaH, try ping -I <interface> <adress>
[04:10] <rylan> i need help! i need to edit xorg.config but it is read only, how do i edit it?
[04:10] <unop> CapaH,  probably  ping -I eth1 de.st.in.ation
[04:10] <[M] Darkorical> I put my disk fro 6.10 in and it doesnt recognize it
[04:11] <erUSUL> rylan: with 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[04:11] <unska_> unop, http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=74420
[04:12] <rylan> erUSUL, i dont understand what to do in here
[04:13] <Gabrielote> i need help, i need to use a dial-up modem, which program can i use?!
[04:13] <Meizano> Yes/No? If I download gcc-4.1.2.tar.gz onto a flash drive and unload it into Ubuntu, would I be able to extract and install it, then use it to compile NdisWrapper?
[04:13] <GaiaX11> [M] Darkorical: water wash the disk, dry it and put there again. Sometimes it happens because the disk is not clean.
[04:13] <sebrock> anyone knows how I can show active apps anywhere else but the bottom bar? I removed it and I use a launcher there instead
[04:13] <GaiaX11> Gabrielote: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#Modems_.2F_Network  Modems / Network
[04:13] <JohnRobert> anyone know how I can stop networkmanager starting on boot (without removing it all together)?
[04:13] <erUSUL> rylan: nano is a text editor.... you asked to edit your xorg.conf, don't you?
[04:13] <[M] Darkorical> the disk is clean I just burnt it yesterday
[04:14] <rylan> erUSUL, well, as a text editor, i dont see any text.
[04:15] <[M] Darkorical> it is acalling for a disk named Ubuntu 6.10_Edgy Eft_ - Release Amd64 (20061025.1)
[04:15] <rylan> erUSUL, how do i see the file. all i see is white!
[04:15] <[M] Darkorical> I cant even put that many charactors in the lable of the disk
[04:15] <Gabrielote> GaiaX11. my problem is when i dial to the internet, my modem isn't reconegzed
[04:15] <unop> unska_,  try another one of the mirrors here ..
[04:15] <unop> !w32codecs | unska_
[04:15] <ubotu> unska_: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[04:16] <unska_> unop, i added _every single one_ of them
[04:16] <GaiaX11> [M] Darkorical: Test the disk. Boot from it
[04:16] <unska_> unop, and still no match
[04:16] <unop> unska_,  well you should ideally add only one of them -- so try that then
[04:17] <sebrock> is it possible to filter all QUIT messages out with XChat?
[04:17] <erUSUL> rylan: you should see the contents of your xorg.conf... !!
[04:17] <rylan> erUSUL, i dont!
[04:17] <unska_> unop, still no match
[04:18] <unska_> and im using "sudo aptitude install w32codecs"
[04:18] <rylan> erUSUL, this is not good.
[04:18] <[M] Darkorical> it boots to the menu for install
[04:18] <eEEp> Hi folks. - Just browsing around. Hope you don't mind me idiling for a bit.
[04:18] <rylan> erUSUL, any ideas?
[04:19] <erUSUL> rylan: get out of the text editor without saving changes 'Crtl + X' and check that you have that file
[04:19] <elkbuntu> eEEp, not at all. most people here are idling
[04:19] <[M] Darkorical> but the install kept locking up on this disk and when I did the check cd thing it passed ok
[04:19] <eEEp> elkbuntu: Ah, thanks.
[04:19] <rylan> erUSUL, i do, i just opened it in a text editor
[04:19] <unska_> unop, should i just use this: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/pool/edgy-seveas/extras/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[04:19] <unska_> install it manually
[04:20] <Seveas> unska_, that would work if you use edgy :)
[04:20] <rylan> erUSUL, computers hate me
[04:20] <Slike> how do i enforce a cron-job to be (automatically) executed as root ?
[04:20] <unska_> Seveas, i am using edgy :)
[04:20] <erUSUL> rylan: ypu can allways re-generate the file with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[04:20] <dynamicreflux> how does one upgrade teh X to the new x11r72 ???
[04:20] <Seveas> dynamicreflux, read th ubuntu-devel list, someone made experimental packages
[04:21] <dynamicreflux> how do i find these
[04:21] <erUSUL> dynamicreflux: waiting until it gets added to an ubuntu release
[04:21] <rylan> erUSUL, aha, well. i just remembered. im using edgy and its not spelled config for some reason. its .conf
[04:21] <unop> Slike,  /etc/crontab  for system tasks -- sudo crontab -e  for root's tab
[04:21] <dynamicreflux> there is no manual way of "updating it"
[04:21] <unska_> Seveas, i did install it, i still cant see the images in .wmv
[04:21] <Seveas> unska_, maybe they are wmv10 or encrypted
[04:22] <unska_> hmm i tried with other .wmv and they worked fine
[04:22] <JohnRobert> not all .wmv are the same
[04:22] <unska_> yeah i know
[04:22] <sebrock> gah! how do I filter out all QUIT messages with XCHAT?
[04:22] <unska_> Seveas, is there a decoder for wmv10?
[04:22] <daviey> Hi, anybody here using pgp with evolution??
[04:22] <erUSUL> sebrock: right click on the tab of the channel
[04:22] <erUSUL> daviey: me
[04:23] <hoagi1> For a strange reason when I booted into ubuntu today a partition that I have named Data and is mounted on /media/Data is now named _PNG
[04:23] <hoagi1> 
[04:23] <Seveas> hoagi1, that's a known issue but jarmless
[04:23] <Seveas> harmless even
[04:23] <sebrock> erUSUL and then check join/part?
[04:23] <jcoimbra> hi
[04:23] <Seveas> unska_, not one that works under linux afaik
[04:23] <sebrock> erUSUL, still what the join messages tho :d
[04:24] <erUSUL> sebrock: iirci is something like that now using irssi
[04:24] <daviey> erUSUL, how did you export your pgp key from gpg?   gpg --export-secret-key > private.key  did export the key.  Evolution asked for 2 passwords (didn't complain) but then didn't add it
[04:24] <jcoimbra> I have a laptop that is constantly wired to the ethernet, but happens to have a wireless card in it. Is it possible to "bridge" these connections so that laptops with wireless cards can use this laptop as a router?
[04:24] <sebrock> erUSUL, can I do it permanent or do I have to check it every time I login?
[04:24] <jcoimbra> i know this can be done in windows
[04:24] <unska_> Seveas, how come vlc is able to play them then?
[04:25] <unska_> (atleast i think so)
[04:25] <unop> unska_, you could try installing mplayer's codecs - http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20061022.tar.bz2
[04:26] <unop> jcoimbra,  sure, look into enabling routing not a "bridge"
[04:26] <unska_> unop, im fine. i can use vlc for the rare wmvs that doesnt work
[04:26] <daviey> unska_, VLC includes the codecs as part of the code
[04:26] <hoagi1> well what can i do about it to fix it?
[04:26] <erUSUL> daviey: i did not have to import nor export any key in evolution. evolution only wants the key id to use with msgs that's all
[04:26] <erUSUL> daviey: to mange keys i use either seahorse or gpg in cli
[04:26] <daviey> erUSUL, For me to digitially sign, not reading other peoples
[04:27] <jcoimbra> unop: what do you mean
[04:27] <daviey> erUSUL, i've been using cli - i
[04:27] <phatrabbit> $ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade when i use that command i get bash not found
[04:27] <unop> unska_,  I believe w32codecs and mplayer's codecs contain a lot of the same codecs -- although mplayer has a few more
[04:27] <phatrabbit> so i use it without the $
[04:27] <phatrabbit> does it make any differnce
[04:27] <unska_> ok
[04:28] <erUSUL> daviey: that's what i'm refering to. you just edit the preferences of the email account and in the security tab you fill the key id you want to use with that account that's all you have to do
[04:29] <daviey> erUSUL, thanks
[04:29] <hoagi1> what can I do so my partition won't by displayed as  _PNG but how is meant to be?
[04:29] <rguerra> Martus on Ubuntu <http://privaterra.org/node/85> -  With the help from the Martus developpers, and a bit of searching through the martus readme's I was able to figure out the right way to start martus on Ubuntu

[04:31] <unop> meisam,  either jsp or tomcat are not configured to execute the file, they simply are accessing java code as text files

[04:32] <dynamicreflux> amarok vs. banshee : anyone?

[04:37] <z> im using metacity as window manager which came default with ubuntu, but when i maximise or minimise the windows i can see the trail of the windows...how can i stop this
[04:37] <GaiaX11> dneary: In her house :-)
[04:37] <unska_> unop, can you recommend a good free antivirus for ubuntu?

[04:39] <dynamicreflux> novice: have u used synaptics?
[04:39] <kdefreak> how do I make grub boot Windows XP by default, instead of Ubuntu/Kubuntu?
[04:39] <rylan> novice, use add/remove programs. its easier on us newbies.
[04:39] <unop> rylan,  - isnt part of the command :p
[04:39] <z> @ novice, try automatix2 its an easy way to install lots of stuff without going through command line or any hassle
[04:39] <novice> dynamic:yup.....
[04:39] <LjL> !automatix | z, novice
[04:39] <ubotu> z, novice: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:39] <rylan> unop, thanks. <-- idiot

[04:42] <freshmouse> Hello. I downloaded Herd 4, but I have a problem with boot. I can't boot it, it gives me a "loading error" (in text mode it's called error 10)... I think, it needs edit the booting parametres, but I can't rememeber (and find) how. (On #ubuntu-devel nobody has an idea.)
[04:42] <unop> rylan,  how about this -- ls -l | grep -i "ati.*run"

[04:52] <linux_kid> Im running VMplayer on a dual-booted XP partition, and when I run VMplayer, GRUB gives me Error 17
[04:52] <unop> aliasd,  to this day, nothing practical really -- except that say your disk crashes, you can replace the physical disk and maintain the same UUID
[04:52] <rylan> unop, BTW im using edgy, maybe that has something to do with it?
[04:52] <unop> rylan,  no, you;re just issuing commands in the wrong directory
[04:52] <Dhanjel> noone with i686->i386 tips?
[04:52] <kdefreak> how do I make grub boot windows by default instead of linux
[04:53] <z> can any one help me with this annoying window trails when minimizing, maximizing and such please
[04:53] <I-kido> is it possible to convert xfs to ext3?
[04:53] <davin> kdefreak check your menu.list
[04:53] <unop> rylan,  right now you are in your home folder not the desktop, change directory to the desktop and run your commands again -- cd ~/.Desktop; bash ./ati*run
[04:53] <communist_pope> What variant of ubuntu is good for older machines?
[04:53] <aliasd> unop) :( thats a bit pointless
[04:53] <rylan> unop, with the -- or without
[04:54] <unop> rylan,  without
[04:54] <z> @communist_pope, i belive xubuntu is
[04:54] <z> its a stripped down version of ubuntu perfect for older machines
[04:54] <rylan> ?
[04:54] <mindstate> anyone know why my gaim is shutting off at random times by itself?
[04:54] <rylan> unop, it says no such file or directory
[04:54] <davin> I can connect to a Windows SMB but the Windows PC cant connect to my Ubuntu SMB. Why? My Xbox Media Center can connect to both..
[04:54] <freshmouse> Beer-it: You can allow the root account, but you can also use sudo. Sudo needs "sudoer" password (sudoer = first user + users who sudoer allow).
[04:54] <El_Burro> mindstate, are you using it just for MSN?
[04:54] <unop> aliasd,  yes and no -- yes because you can keep the same UUID, no because if the device number changes the UUID symlink points nowhere and linux fails to boot :-s
[04:55] <Beer-it> freshmouse k, ty :)
[04:55] <welemski> davin, you have to setup a share folder
[04:55] <davin> welemski well duh I did
[04:55] <davin> read the question again
[04:55] <communist_pope> z: The specs are some pentium processor, 266mhz, and 128 RAM
[04:55] <unop> rylan,  can you please just copy and paste those commands in
[04:55] <rylan> unop, i did. /cry
[04:55] <unop> rylan,  move the file from the desktop into your home folder then
[04:56] <rylan> unop, i think that will work.
[04:56] <davin> I can connect to a Windows SMB but the Windows PC cant connect to my Ubuntu SMB. Why? My Xbox Media Center can connect to both..
[04:56] <Beer-it> freshmouse does it say in man sudo howto enable root account as avaliable too?
[04:56] <z> communist_pope: yea itl run flawlessly on those
[04:56] <communist_pope> Is a 10GB HD enough for ubuntu normal? I have a 2.8ghz p4 with 1gb ram on my desktop
[04:57] <communist_pope> z: thanks
[04:57] <unop> !sudo | Beer-it
[04:57] <ubotu> Beer-it: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:57] <HymnToLife> communist_pope, yeah, that's more than enough
[04:57] <Beer-it> unop ty :)
[04:57] <unop> :)
[04:57] <rylan> unop, ok, it is in /home/rylan/drivers/ now is that ok?
[04:57] <communist_pope> HymnToLife: I mean for everyday usem without music\movies, i use windows on another HD for that
[04:58] <CheshireViking> communist_pope, I've got an old machine similar to that - its a P3, same amount of memory etc, that runs Ubuntu Edgy with no problem, its a bit slow - but everything seems to run, i perhaps wouldn't use it for any length of time though
[04:58] <unop> rylan,  no -- you want it in /home/rylan  and nowhere else
[04:58] <z> communist_pope: #xubuntu on freenode is their community support if you ever need it
[04:58] <communist_pope> thanks
[04:58] <rylan> unop, ok.
[04:58] <lolman> HymnToLife, more than enough, I have it installed perfectly on on about 7.5GB, with more than half of that free
[04:58] <freshmouse> Beer-it: sudo passwd root
[04:58] <rylan> unop, ok, its in /rylan/
[04:58] <communist_pope> Has anyone heard of the dual boot ubuntu that u can install in windows?
[04:59] <unop> rylan,  now try this command - ls -ld ati*run
[04:59] <HymnToLife> communist_pope, yeah, not tested it though
[04:59] <z> communist_pope: yea, im dual booting with windows at the moment
[04:59] <communist_pope> HymnToLife: Why does it need to download 135 files for the first time?
[04:59] <roberta_96> m
[04:59] <rylan> unop, you sir, are a genious
[04:59] <davin> I can connect to a Windows SMB but the Windows PC cant connect to my Ubuntu SMB. Why? My Xbox Media Center can connect to both..

[05:00] <unop> rylan,  not really, you just weren't looking in the right place
[05:00] <roberta_96> ola kien seais
[05:00] <rylan> unop, still. i was confused as hell
[05:00] <kdefreak> davin: yes... what do I add/remove? I don't want to use "default 5" ... because there might be kernel upgrades in the future and I'll boot an old version of kernel instead of windows?
[05:01] <z> unop: since you seem to be great at sorting others out, do you mind answering a quick question
[05:01] <unop> rylan,  yea, it usually happens when placed in new environments or circumstances :)
[05:01] <davin> kdefreak dontcha have the 3 sec timeout on?
[05:01] <unop> z, whats happening?
[05:01] <freshmouse> Beer-it: I prefer allowed root too. But I use also gksu (sudo runned from desktop enviroment).
[05:01] <meisam> unop i have triied it but there is something which i dun understand, would u tell me the meaning of this sentence? Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
[05:01] <meisam> At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program

[05:06] <mindstate> anyone know why my gaim is shutting off at random times by itself?
[05:06] <GaiaX11> brb :-)
[05:06] <unop> z, that also could be because of your graphics card, you know? the refresh rate being too low .. so i'm trying to ascertain what it is
[05:06] <cruisemaniac> GaiaX11: And...
[05:06] <Beer-it> freshmouse same thing after that too :/

[05:07] <unop> meisam,  why have you got java installed there -- why not use the usual occasions?
[05:07] <freshmouse> bigmichi: You can choose only from installed smilies. You have to edit the smilies collection by hands.
[05:07] <meisam> unop thats a big mistake i have made and i dun know how to unistall and reinstall it :(((( it has been causing me dozens of problems..can i change it?
[05:08] <freshmouse> Beer-it: Are you sure, you edited /etc/apt/sources.list?

[05:17] <HymnToLife> cruisemaniac, asus laptops are quite tedious to use lm-sensors with
[05:17] <communist_pope> Would adding another network card and attaching 2 connections from my router make it faster?
[05:18] <HymnToLife> cruisemaniac, you will get better help on their mailing-list
[05:18] <HymnToLife> communist_pope, no

[05:23] <cruisemaniac> HymnToLife, I see 3: lo, eth0 and sit0 all 3 with no wireless extensions
[05:23] <HymnToLife> rylan, open your xorg.conf in your favourite text editor and do the modifications you're told

[05:24] <HymnToLife> !find convert

[05:24] <paradizelost> can anyone recommend a good wireless scanner/signal strength viewer? i've been using wavemon, but would like it to work well in X
[05:24] <[M] Darkorical> Rylan I went through that page ... what is it you are having troubles with?
[05:24] <Syco> Hi guys, I've got a recent Ubuntu installation.  I was having trouble installing it (whenever I booted from CD it crashed and wouldn't load) but when I disabled two of my IDE drives (I have 4) it seemed to work fine.  Now whenever I have a terminal open it beeps every minute or two with the error "kernel: [17182643.952000]  Disabling IRQ #177
[05:24] <Syco> "
[05:24] <cruisemaniac> HymnToLife, what do i do now... i have 3 no wireless extensions
[05:24] <Syco> Any ideas on what I could try?  I've been googleing for ages
[05:24] <HymnToLife> Arcad3, imagemagick
[05:25] <rylan> [M] Darkorical, im at modifying xorg.conf i dont really know what its asking me to do
[05:25] <flash13> Hi guys, I've got Hoary installed and updated from to the latest supported packages. I was wondering how to update all the way to Edgy. I tried following http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_upgrade_from_Hoary_Hedgehog_-.3E_Breezy_Badger_-.3E_Dapper_Drake but I can't get the Breezy repos to respond. I think the links are probably out of date.
[05:25] <HymnToLife> cruisemaniac, that means your wireless card isn't detected. Are you sure it's an IPW3945 ?
[05:25] <cratel> what is UP with the latest kernel (2.6.15-28-686) and when is it going to be fixed? Two different machines and it doesn't work w/ either. Dapper. It's been a week?
[05:26] <HymnToLife> cratel, it works fine here
[05:26] <IcemanV9> rylan: make sure it said Driver "fglrx" under Device section - that's all.
[05:26] <ctkroeker> Im trying to compile a audio logging program called rotter. evry time I do ./configure (as the README instucts), I get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6112/plain/ even though I have both jack and jack-tools installed. *configure: error: Package requirements (jack >= 0.100.0) were not met.* It might be that it doesnt like the most recent version of jack, maybe...
[05:26] <HymnToLife> what's your problem ?
[05:26] <cruisemaniac> It;s a centrino laptop, Asus A8J.  It has to be an Intel Proset Wireless 3945 ABG
[05:26] <[M] Darkorical> after you type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf into the terminal it should bring up the file in an editor
[05:26] <HymnToLife> all right, well, installing drivers for it it fairly easy, but it definitely should be detected by default
[05:27] <TheCruisemaniac> how do i go about this????
[05:27] <TheCruisemaniac> because i dont see the wlan0 interface here
[05:27] <TheCruisemaniac> in network manager
[05:27] <HymnToLife> !register | TheCruisemaniac
[05:27] <ubotu> TheCruisemaniac: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[05:28] <cratel> HymnToLife: I asked about this on this channel before and was told it was a known problem. On one machine Gnome dies in the middle of loading. On the other I get a kernel panic. When I go to the previous (27) version everything is fine on both machines.
[05:28] <HymnToLife> please register your nivk so we can sort it out in private
[05:28] <HymnToLife> cratel, stay with the old one then
[05:28] <TheCruisemaniac> oh sure....
[05:28] <[M] Darkorical> find the device section in that file
[05:29] <IcemanV9> cratel: agreed with HymnToLife; stay with old version until it is fixed (you need to report a bug)
[05:29] <rylan> IcemanV9, how do i open it?
[05:29] <sigger_> anyone recommend a replacement for nautilus?  The one thing I miss from win is windows explorer.
[05:30] <IcemanV9> rylan: open what? sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:30] <HymnToLife> sigger_, konqueror :)
[05:30] <dcordes> sigger_: you can use wine with windows explorer
[05:30] <dcordes> !ine | sigger_
[05:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ine - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:30] <dcordes> !wine | sigger_
[05:30] <ubotu> sigger_: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:30] <sigger_> don't the K* thingies require kde?
[05:30] <HymnToLife> sigger_, not necessarily
[05:30] <suguru> Is there a way to find things in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[05:30] <dcordes> sigger_: the K* applications can also be used in the GNOME desktop enviornment
[05:30] <HymnToLife> not the whole of it, at least, just a few libs
[05:31] <sigger_> dcordes: ooh, win/winexp would be cool.
[05:31] <dcordes> sigger_: maybe you should use ms windows...
[05:31] <Flash13> Perhaps I could do a network install using Hoary as a bootstrap?
[05:31] <sigger_> dcordes: argh.  no way.  no more win dozing off or the dozen other complaints
[05:32] <dcordes> sigger_: don
[05:32] <dcordes> sigger_: sorry. don't try to make your linux a windows, just try to use it as it is
[05:33] <rylan> IcemanV9, what about the "$ sudo aticonfig --initial
[05:33] <rylan> $ sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" part?
[05:33] <IcemanV9> sigger_: is there a reason why you want to use IE??
[05:33] <sigger_> dcordes: I've gotta believe someone has written an explorer type prog with the stuff I'm looking for.  It's my primary way for browsing and nautilus just isn't enough
[05:33] <khronus> IE is the devils work
[05:33] <HymnToLife> He isn't talking about IE but about the file explorer...
[05:33] <sigger_> IcemanV9:  haha.  not Internet Exp.  Win Exp
[05:33] <khronus> oh
[05:33] <sigger_> hehe, even at work in win I use FF
[05:34] <sam_> i want to find the latest dans guardian gui script, is there a #ubuntu-christian or similar?
[05:34] <FudgeYou> why wont the make command work in the terminal
[05:34] <IcemanV9> rylan: i did the same thing with mine. just do it and it'll be fine.
[05:34] <tuskernini> Does anyone send attachments successful with evolution using gmail?
[05:34] <FudgeYou> im told to do this?
[05:34] <FudgeYou> Installing
[05:34] <FudgeYou> [05:34] <FudgeYou> 1.  qmake
[05:34] <FudgeYou>     make
[05:34] <FudgeYou> 2. Now you can run application.
[05:34] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell FudgeYou about make | FudgeYou, see the private message from ubotu.
[05:34] <IcemanV9> sigger_: ah! ok. :)

[05:43] <igor> where can I find gstream0.10 dvd support? (i have installed libdvdcss)
[05:43] <Flash13> sebrock, best guess if you were told it was a java issue, and you've installed java, Azureus isn't using it
[05:43] <IcemanV9> !patience > SoulChild
[05:43] <HymnToLife> igor, gstreamer stinks, use xine :)

[05:44] <igor> HymnToLife: stinks 4 everything? or just 4 dvd playback?
[05:44] <Flash13> sebrock, most likely a symlink problem
[05:44] <Rocha> hello
[05:45] <IcemanV9> SoulChild: chill out, dude
[05:45] <igor> HymnToLife: right now im using totem-xine . This stinks 4 u 2?
[05:45] <sebrock> Flash13, well, I also have the java that comes bundled with Ubuntu Edgy
[05:45] <Rocha> i have a little "organization" problem
[05:45] <sebrock> Flash13, ok any idea how to fix it?
[05:45] <SoulChild> IcemanV9, i am patient i asked 3 times
[05:45] <GaiaX11> SoulChild: Behave yourself it is not a primary school guy
[05:45] <Rocha> i'm trying to deploy subversion at my computer science department
[05:45] <HymnToLife> igor, I use xine only for DVD playback
[05:45] <HymnToLife> player for everything else :)
[05:45] <HymnToLife> mplayer*
[05:45] <IcemanV9> SoulChild: nobody knows the answer ... yet
[05:45] <SoulChild> GaiaX11, i am nerved stop getting on my nerve
[05:45] <Rocha> i don't know if i should create just one repository or a a repository to each group of 3 students
[05:45] <SoulChild> IcemanV9, okay... :(
[05:46] <igor> HymnToLife: Im trying to use a single interface.. not one interface for each file format.
[05:46] <HymnToLife> igor, use vlc then...
[05:46] <Rocha> how would you deploy this?
[05:46] <jmarran> Hello all.
[05:46] <igor> HymnToLife: VLC support on edgy isn't SO good.
[05:47] <Flash13> sebrock, yes and no, I normally fix it in the Azureus lauch script, but I can't recall and don't have it to hand, so if you're confident at pointing the reference in there to your Sun Java install, go with that
[05:47] <jmarran> Does anyone have any info on Ubuntu for Mac?
[05:47] <HymnToLife> if you're not happy with that, make yourself an app that can read everyhing greatly
[05:47] <HymnToLife> and don't rant on the work of others...
[05:48] <IcemanV9> !ppc
[05:48] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[05:48] <igor> HymnToLife: Im not ranting anything.
[05:48] <IcemanV9> hmm, no website for ppc? :/
[05:49] <HymnToLife> igor, I'm afraid there is not one single app that can play anythig
[05:49] <odnigmann> hi, some one use airodump?
[05:49] <HymnToLife> well, mplayer can read DVDs but WXine is really much better at it
[05:49] <igor> HymnToLife: mplayer can do anything, except dvd menus. ;-/
[05:49] <HymnToLife> xine can
[05:50] <igor> HymnToLife: yeah.. I know..
[05:50] <fromvega2> Hello!
[05:50] <igor> HymnToLife: xine uses w32codecs?
[05:50] <sebrock> Flash13, sorry I dont understand what I need to do?
[05:50] <HymnToLife> but otoh, mplayer is much better for video files
[05:50] <PwcrLinux> Hi all, kernel 9 looks good, I found out the kernel 10 pretty bad in breezy..
[05:50] <HymnToLife> igor, yes, if you istalled them :p
[05:50] <fromvega2> Do you know if there is a ubuntu package of a newer version of Trac? Instead of the 9.6?
[05:50] <HymnToLife> breezy ?
[05:50] <igor> HymnToLife: yeah it is. And yes I have installed it. Thankz HymnToLife.
[05:50] <HymnToLife> you're playing with fire, with something that new
[05:50] <igor> HymnToLife: Edgy

[05:51] <cc2k> tru terminal*

[05:51] <ubotu> trac: Enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6-2 (edgy), package size 295 kB, installed size 1716 kB
[05:51] <HymnToLife> cc2k, unzip filename.zip
[05:51] <GaiaX11> IcemanV9: look at http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/edgy/ for powerpc cd intalling :-)
[05:51] <cc2k> ah tho ^^
[05:51] <cc2k> thx
[05:51] <HymnToLife> if you get "unzip command not found", sudo apt-get install unzip
[05:52] <cc2k> it worked
[05:52] <IcemanV9> GaiaX11: ty :)
[05:52] <cc2k> thx man :)
[05:52] <cc2k> or woman ^^
[05:52] <fromvega2> IcemanV9, as you se, it's version 0.9.6-2... I would like to run 0.10 at least...
[05:52] <GaiaX11> IcemanV9:  what is ty?
[05:52] <defrysk> GaiaX11, thank you
[05:53] <josh1234> question; what is the dhcpcd command in ubuntu to get the dhcp assigned ip address?
[05:53] <GaiaX11> defrysk: thx :-)
[05:53] <IcemanV9> fromvega2: yea, guess you'll have to wait for its available in backports or report it to backports for a newer version
[05:53] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: Hey there :), Kernel 9 looks good, does not getting any spikes in the CPU meter.. I guess the kernel 10 seem have a bugs.. I use a menu selection at boot up goes to 9 for a while..
[05:53] <defrysk> GaiaX11, yw
[05:53] <GaiaX11> defrysk: No i got it: you are welcome :-)
[05:54] <fromvega2> IcemanV9, and how should I install it if I really need it?
[05:54] <josh1234> (im trying to setup my wlan0 -- a usb wireless network adapter0
[05:54] <Flash13> sebrock, it's hard to explain, I've not done it in some time, but you need to change the symlink for java or edit the Azureus launch scipt and put a direct link to your sun java
[05:54] <_coach> I'm sort of a linux noob, but when i did the most recent update of edgy eft  (6.0.11) it gives me an xorg error, but if i boot into the previous version it works just fine.
[05:54] <defrysk> GaiaX11, ;)
[05:54] <bauer77> man those ATI drivers FAQ really screwed me up
[05:54] <PwcrLinux> that's 9 in there
[05:54] <josh1234> anyone!
[05:54] <josh1234> !anyone
[05:54] <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?
[05:54] <GaiaX11> defrysk: I need a dict for them :-)
[05:55] <saqr> (im trying to setup my wlan0 -- a usb wireless network adapter0 use ndiswrapper
[05:55] <sebrock> Flash13, ok, is there a quick command to test it with Sun Java straight away before editing something?
[05:55] <josh1234> hell no, i dont need to use ndiswrapper..
[05:55] <bauer77> if the xorg.conf shows mesa for my ATI, does this mean that its not using the ATI drivers?
[05:55] <shatrat> _coach, sounds like drivers need to be reinstalled for -11.  Drivers are a kernel module so theyre specific to a kernel.
[05:55] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: terrific. stick with -9 then. and i believe breezy is not supported or going to be not supported soon. what i am saying is that devs might not fix -10 for breezy. (i could be wrong)
[05:55] <cc2k> get another n00b question,  i need to chmod and folder and subfolder, what command was that again?
[05:55] <josh1234> i can get it recognized. i have the wlan0. though, i need to call the dhcp to get the client ip. what's the dhcpcd command in ubuntu?
[05:55] <shatrat> bauer77, the "ati" drivers or the "fglrx"?  it will show mesa as the openGL library string if you are using the open source drivers.
[05:55] <defrysk> cc2k, chmod -hR
[05:55] <Flash13> sebrock, what do you get when you do java -v? (might be -version, thinking about it)
[05:56] <yettenet> Hi there!
[05:56] <IcemanV9> fromvega2: i don't know. you're on your own? is there a package available at trac website?
[05:56] <_coach> shatrat can you link me to faq to do this?
[05:56] <shatrat> _coach, moment
[05:56] <yettenet> Could you tell me how can I connect to another comp on LAN?
[05:56] <cc2k> defrysk: gave me  invallid option -- h
[05:56] <bauer77> shatrat:  I used the ati installer and seemed to be fine, but then someone posted the ubuntu how to ATI and it screwed me up.
[05:56] <yettenet> I have the IP of the computer
[05:56] <josh1234> defrysk: what's the dhcpcd command in ubuntu?
[05:56] <sebrock> Flash13, that shows the Sun Java
[05:56] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: yea, I still waiting for LTS cd comes in, I ordered it already, once I get the LTS live cd and testing on my lappy, if everything working good then I will install the fresh LTS to whipe the old breezy versions
[05:56] <bauer77> and said is should not show mesa
[05:57] <ltibor65> Hi! How can I set in Dapper Hungarian as mainlanguage for Gnome?
[05:57] <Bico_Fino> Hello guys, Im trying install ubuntu 6.10 on a desktop compaq HP (P4 HT) and after i select to boot the system hang up
[05:57] <Bico_Fino> some help here?
[05:57] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: you could upgrade if you like - check the info from ubotu - /msg ubotu upgrade
[05:57] <josh1234> bico_fino: io error. use the alternate install cd's or dvd's.
[05:58] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: I prefer clean install, because the upgrade might messed up and sometime didn't updated the files..
[05:58] <josh1234> anyone about the dhcpcd? what's the dhcpcd command in ubuntu?
[05:58] <sam_> anyone know if there is a #ubuntu-christian or similar? or where to get the latest copy of this script http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226298
[05:58] <flazz> is Fiest Fawn Herd, Herd as in GNU, not linux?
[05:58] <cc2k> when i used chmod -hR  it gave me an " invallid option -- h" error
[05:58] <Flash13> sebrock, well, your java IS installed then, you can always back up the original Azureus file before you edit it :)
[05:58] <SoulChild> does anyone know what is the standard archiver programm on ubuntu ?
[05:58] <shatrat> _coach, I think if you "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx" and then follow the first part of this guide, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Install_Nvidia_driver, you should be able to reinstall the nvidia driver while running 2.6.17-11
[05:59] <_coach> shatrat thanks so much
[05:59] <defrysk> cc2k, sudo chmod -R yourusername /path/to/folder/

[05:59] <sebrock> wrong nick sorry
[06:00] <defrysk> cc2k, 'sudo chmod -hR yourusername /path/to/folder/' should work tho
[06:00] <_coach> shatrat do i need to boot into .11 for it to work?
[06:00] <Flare183> sebrock;> that's alright
[06:00] <cc2k> what does that -h do?
[06:00] <Bico_Fino> josh1234 The cd is ok, i have installed on another machine
[06:00] <cc2k> -R is folders+subfolders i know that
[06:00] <shatrat> _coach, I believe so.  You can do all that from a command line adn then "startx"
[06:00] <josh1234> yeah, the cd may be fine, but this new setup may not read from it fine--or the cd may not read the new setup fine..
[06:00] <miranda82> a question I have, is there a way to direquestion I have, is there a way to directly change the Mute, UP/DOWN buttons, to be set to the Headphone, instead of MASTER?ctly change the Mute, UP/DOWN buttons, to be set to the Headphone, instead of MASTER?

[06:01] <shatrat> miranda82, yes, just go to the properties of the sound control applet in the gnoem panel
[06:01] <_coach> shatrat do i have to go to a command line at the GRUB loader or when i get the xorg error mesage
[06:01] <cc2k> no wonder it gave me an error ^^
[06:01] <josh1234> bico_fino: this second machine is not an exactly similar machine to the first, correct?
[06:01] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: yea, but if you can reinstall ubuntu, then you have nothing to lose. what i did was turn off universe & multiverse and leave in main & restricted, then upgrade to dapper from breezy. once it works, then i turned on universe & multiverse. it seems less problem during the upgrade process i think.
[06:01] <shatrat> _coach, when you get the xorg message you should be able to say "ok" and it will put you at a simple terminal interface
[06:01] <miranda82> shatrat, if i change it, it does not change anything, just the displaying icon
[06:01] <josh1234> is dhcpcd installed by default in 6.10, or does it need be added?
[06:01] <Flash13> sebrock, yeah, just because java is installed, doesn't mean Azureus knows which one to use XD It's fickle like that
[06:02] <computermc> I have a couple of files on my Desktop that I will delete, empty the trash bin, and then about 10 minutes later their back on the desk top. Any ideas what would make this happen?
[06:02] <cc2k> defrysk, u got the right command for me then? ^^
[06:02] <SoulChild> computermc, what files ?
[06:02] <computermc> SouldChild: personal files
[06:03] <sebrock> Flash13, I guess, thats why I ask if I could force it to be loaded by Sun Java with a command?

[06:07] <_coach> shatrat it still does not work after following those steps
[06:07] <shatrat> bauer77, well if youre using the fglrx drivers then it should say ATI Technologies or something and not mesa
[06:07] <seamus7> Anyone having problems after installing the new linux kernel ... 6.11 I thing from 6.10???
[06:07] <z> flare183: you need a different window manager is what i think, beryl allows you to do vista and beyond
[06:07] <bauer77> are the fglrx drivers the ones from ati's website.
[06:08] <Gabrielote> i have 1 question: it's normal in the wvdial, teh connection is connected and disconected?!?
[06:08] <Flare183> ok

[06:13] <z> oh ok sorry
[06:13] <shatrat> bauer77, glxinfo | grep rendering
[06:14] <ant1matter> Trying to hook up a printer. When going into cups and adding it cups sees it and identifies it BUT i cant find a driver. How can it identify it but not have a driver?

[06:14] <NET||abuse> hmm, ok, i've started up my own web server, got about 10 domains on it, 3 of em are getting alot of spam, pre-existing problem with their domain before they transfered,, i have the last weeks mail logs in .gz format in /var/log, i was looking for a way to analyse the logs and find regularly occuring server ips and domains so i can start running a black list
[06:14] <nofeardjb> anyone familiar with apache/php/mysql installs?
[06:14] <z> so what do i do then now? it still wont work
[06:14] <bauer77> so if direct rendering is no its still not using 3d correct?
[06:14] <bart_> nofeardjb, sure whats up
[06:14] <NET||abuse> what's a handy enough tool for getting that kind of info out of the logs?
[06:14] <shatrat> ant1matter, try checking the entry for that printer at linuxprinting.org, it should at least give you an idea what driver is needed and how well it is supported
[06:14] <hedegaard> wonder if any can help me with a small problem - I've connected an external usb drive and I keep getting access denied when trying to write/create folders (file system is ntfs) -- any suggestions ?
[06:14] <JohnRobert_> z, do this: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2, then do what I said before and it should work
[06:15] <soundray> ant1matter: USB printers show a vendor ID and model name. That doesn't mean there's a driver. What's your printer model?
[06:15] <z> alright will try
[06:15] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: yeah. i know. "for windows" is like m$win :) - anyway, mplayer do have gui if your asking
[06:15] <soundray> !lamp | nofeardjb
[06:15] <ubotu> nofeardjb: 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+)
[06:15] <shatrat> hedegaard, ntfs is poorly documented and you have to use special drivers to write to it, and even then it isnt 100% safe.  Id reformat as ext3
[06:15] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: yes, the gui
[06:15] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: what about totem?
[06:15] <nofeardjb> bart: hey, just installed mysql, reset the roots passwords, and changed my.cnf so its viewable to the internet, i'm wondering what packages i need to install for apache to use php5 and use my mysql database with php5
[06:16] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: totem doesn't have CC or stubtitles
[06:16] <nofeardjb> ah
[06:16] <ctkroeker> Juhaz: yes, its installed. Sorry I took so long to answer, had to leave
[06:16] <nofeardjb> ty soundray
[06:16] <bart_> nofeardjb, you want : sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
[06:16] <nofeardjb> ty bart
[06:16] <hedegaard> shatrat - okay, but I'd like to use it both with my windows machine and ubuntu ... is that possible ?
[06:16] <z> thanks all working now its installing
[06:17] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: i think it has subtitle, but no CC (i wish all app have CC compatible). i know the fact that mplayer DO support CC.
[06:17] <shatrat> hedegaard, yeah, you can use ext3 in windows by installing the driver from fs-driver.org
[06:17] <soundray> hedegaard: you can format it with fat32 (universally readable, but not very reliable) or ext3 (you will need to install ext2fsd in Windows).
[06:18] <shatrat> hedegaard, fat32 is bad, really bad.
[06:18] <bart_> nofeardjb, you also want to check that you have libapache2-mod-php5 , (dpkg -l | grep libapache2) if you don't have it : sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-mysql
[06:18] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys I'm trying to restore grub after installing windows and that !grub info does not do anything
[06:18] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: i lost the note of how to enable CC for mplayer; i have been researching Google for its answer. *sigh*
[06:18] <bart_> nofeardjb, you also want to check that you have libapache2-mod-php5 , (dpkg -l | grep libapache2) if you don't have it : sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5*
[06:18] <Chadarius> hedegaard: I do the same thinng as shatrat. I have an EXT3 drive and I use the driver he mentioned in Windows to access it
[06:19] <hedegaard> okay thanks shatrat and soundray - I'll give it a try  :)
[06:19] <_coach> shatrat now my screen is whigging out like the first time i installed ubuntu and making crazy lines of flashing colors
[06:19] <Chadarius> hedegaard: EXT3 is backwards compatible with EXT2 so you don't get journalling in Windows but you don't get that anyways :)
[06:19] <GaiaX11> Paddy_EIRE: use the alternate cd to do it. It is very ease > recovery mode
[06:19] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: I used on windows, all DVD never had a choppy at all supports stubtitle and CC.
[06:19] <Paddy_EIRE> GaiaX11: dont have the alternate cd
[06:19] <shatrat> _coach, thats the "nv" driver, its charming.  Hopefuly you can at least see well enough to install the nvidia-glx driver now
[06:19] <patrick_> gnomad? 2.8.10, anyone able to install this?
[06:20] <hedegaard> okay Chadarius - i don't care what i get ... as long as it works hehe :) trying for way too long to get it to work :)

[06:20] <GaiaX11> Paddy_EIRE: so look at this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
[06:21] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: dma is the key. i understand that your dma is enabled. i don't know what else to resolve the choppy problem. fwiw, mine went smooth.
[06:22] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, I havent read all youve said about the problem, but another problem might be your video card drivers.  Do you have direct rendering?
[06:22] <PwcrLinux> IcemanV9: do you think the demuxer missing? 3 files already in there.
[06:22] <hedegaard> another quick question: a recommendable RAR-unpacker with GUI ?
[06:22] <Chadarius> PwcrLinux: Hey are you using nvidia driver? If so I think I might have some nvidia settings for you that will smooth it all out. I used them on MythTV and it worked great for me
[06:22] <shatrat> hedegaard, I dont know what might have a gui, I use unrar e archive.rar from cli
[06:23] <hedegaard> shatrat ... cli ?
[06:23] <Chadarius> hedegaard: Try looking at 7-zip not sure if its in the repositories or not
[06:23] <HymnToLife> !rar | hedegaard

[06:23] <IcemanV9> PwcrLinux: i have no idea about demuxer since i don't own nvidia card :/

[06:29] <shatrat> nikin, well, the 6600 can use the latest drivers, and the mx440 might be on legacy drivers.  I think you should at least try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling nvidia-glx

[06:30] <Paddy_EIRE> soundray: well the comp reboots after the install and it continues to load windows no grub
[06:30] <Paddy_EIRE> babo: yes
[06:30] <soundray> Paddy_EIRE: why aren't you following the instructions?
[06:30] <PwcrLinux> I better wait for LTS comes in
[06:31] <babo> Paddy_EIRE, so you've started with a windows base or a linux base ?
[06:31] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: From Brasil
[06:31] <Paddy_EIRE> soundray: I am.. to the letter
[06:31] <foolio> does fiesty fawn have the capability to create encrypted partitions during the install, or do you have to manually set it up later?
[06:31] <PwcrLinux> I bet the LTS should have a 9000 driver..
[06:31] <nikin> El burro: i have now a 6600
[06:31] <GaiaX11> unop: But I cannot see Portuguese-br in the ubotu factoids. Can anyone put there /join #ubuntu-br for Portuguese Brazilian speakers? Like pt-br point to #ubuntu-br  ?
[06:31] <soundray> Paddy_EIRE: which section are you following?
[06:32] <Gabrielot1> GaiaX11 where are you!?
[06:32] <Paddy_EIRE> soundray: oops

[06:36] <nofeardjb> i followed the ubuntu wiki for phpmyadmin install, and i edited the phpmyadmin ini files but i still get "The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)." error
[06:36] <GaiaX11> novice: You have to unpack that and install. I think that the infos are in the firefox official website. Isn't it?
[06:36] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell novice about firefox | novice, see the private message from ubotu.
[06:36] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: Does kppp find your modem?
[06:37] <Flare183> does anybody have the deb file for Beryl?
[06:37] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, you can look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the driver section, or lsmod | grep fglrx or grep ati
[06:37] <Flare183> or does anybody where i can find one?
[06:37] <HymnToLife> Flannel, support for Beryl in #ubuntu-effects, please
[06:37] <shatrat> Flare183, why not use the repository like in the how-to?
[06:37] <HymnToLife> Flare183*
[06:37] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: try to find the modem in one of that ports there
[06:37] <Gabrielot1> GaiaX11, how to know when the modem is finded?!
[06:37] <jarhed> howdy all!
[06:38] <nofeardjb> can anyone help me with the blowfish error in phpmyadmin?
[06:38] <Flare183> shatrat:>it's not in the ubuntu reps
[06:38] <nofeardjb> you have to add the reps
[06:38] <shatrat> Flare183, seriously, follow the how-to at help.ubuntu.com
[06:38] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: It is a long time now that I haven't been using modem any more.
[06:38] <Flare183> ok
[06:38] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: kppp try to find it for you
[06:39] <nofeardjb> Hey all I'm lookin for some phpmyadmin assistance
[06:39] <Gabrielot1> GaiaX11, how?!
[06:39] <jumburrito> What file do I need to edit to mount a network share on boot with Edgy?
[06:39] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: just try to discover what it can do for you.
[06:39] <Kajin> How do I shut down the X server in preperation of installing the drivers for my nVidia video card?
[06:39] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: using it
[06:40] <HymnToLife> nofeardjb, just ask your question, we'll help if we can
[06:40] <HymnToLife> Kajin, switch to a tty, then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[06:40] <shatrat> Kajin, its in the how-to
[06:40] <nofeardjb> i followed the guide but i still get the blowfish error after restarting apache2 and mysql services
[06:40] <jumburrito> shatrat
[06:40] <Mithshark> netsple...
[06:40] <jumburrito> me love you long time
[06:40] <shatrat> jumburrito, hi there qtpie
[06:41] <GaiaX11> Kajin: Or try to install in recovery mode
[06:41] <Kajin> Alright, thanks!
[06:41] <nofeardjb> as seen here on my website: http://coeus.hopto.org/phpmyadmin/
[06:41] <jumburrito> I need to mount a network share on boot
[06:41] <jarhed> Kajin: CTRL + ALT + 2 to switch to tty
[06:41] <jumburrito> what file would I edit?
[06:41] <HymnToLife> GaiaX11, intalling it in sigle user mode won't work
[06:41] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: it's 9000 loaded..
[06:41] <HymnToLife> jumburrito, /etc/fstab
[06:41] <GaiaX11> HymnToLife: Thx
[06:41] <jmonsted> Kajin, I installed Nvidia drivers with Automatix
[06:41] <jumburrito> anything I should not do?
[06:41] <HymnToLife> !automatix
[06:41] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:42] <Gabrielot1> GaiaX11, have any problem if i use the ethernet and modem at same time!?
[06:42] <nofeardjb> !phpmyadmin > nofeardjb
[06:42] <shatrat> jumburrito, I think this will help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[06:42] <Kensey> Anybody here have any idea how to get a Latitude D610 to suspend/wake properly in Edgy?
[06:42] <chovy> when i try to install "Kompare" it is greyed out and won't let me install it.
[06:42] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, try different video output modes in xine, I dont know anything else to try
[06:42] <nofeardjb> !help phpmyadmin > nofeardjb
[06:42] <jumburrito> would a Samba share count as a windows share? =)
[06:42] <HymnToLife> chovy, what if you sudo apt-get install kompare ?
[06:43] <Kensey> or, on a more immediate note, anybody know why I get a barrage of I/O errors trying to copy to a flashcard in a USB 2.0 reader?
[06:43] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: I think so. But ask people in the channel
[06:43] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: yea, long time the first installed ubuntu, they loaded a ATI 9000 driver.. very smoothly does not choppy at all
[06:44] <shatrat> jumburrito, yeah same thing, but if it's two linux/unix machines I would try to use ntfs
[06:44] <jumburrito> omg this site is much easier to follow than the Samba howto's
[06:44] <shatrat> PwcrLinux, thats the "ati" driver that comes with ubuntu
[06:44] <shatrat> jumburrito, I mean "nfs"
[06:44] <jumburrito> well I normally just mount with "mount // /home when I boot
[06:44] <jumburrito> oh
[06:44] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: yep, strange for since a month now..
[06:44] <GaiaX11> Gabrielot1: You have to find your modem chipset, find the drivers, install them and configure it with kppp. This is the right way
[06:44] <jumburrito> i guess this would be a good opportunity to learn about NFS
[06:45] <PwcrLinux> let me try xine for change settings
[06:45] <Gosha> i have this funny problem with the time on my computer ... kubuntu sets the clock correct .. after servers and such .. and i think that's great ... however i recently installed windows .. and the windows clock was wront :O .. so i set it right ... but that made the linux clock go wrong .. so now i have to choose which one that should go right .. is this possible to fix?
[06:46] <chovy> HymnToLife: thanks, it was part of another pkg
[06:46] <Kensey> Gosha: tell Linux to store local time in the clock
[06:46] <Kensey> if it thinks that the clock is using UTC, it will "correct" it every time it boots.
[06:47] <Chadarius> Gosha: Or tell Windows to set the local clock to GMT
[06:47] <Kensey> yeah, but then you have to mentally convert from GMT every time you boot Windows
[06:47] <Chadarius> Gosha: Basically they both have to either set the local clock to GMT or to localtime but not one of each
[06:47] <GaiaX11> How do I leave an away message here?
[06:47] <Kensey> there's no way to tell Windows to store in GMT but display in local time like you can in Linux
[06:47] <PwcrLinux> shatrat: let me look up for google for xine video settings
[06:47] <Chadarius> Gosha: No you don't have to convert anything. The timezone applies the change still, but the local clock is always GMT
[06:48] <jumburrito> if I have the share computer powered off it won't affect my boot will it?
[06:48] <Kensey> Gaia: /away <whatever>
[06:48] <IcemanV9> yikes! i got CC working on mplayer, but fonts is HUGE! *sigh* (looking for a way to set fonts to be displayed normal size)
[06:48] <HymnToLife> !away | GaiaX11
[06:48] <ubotu> GaiaX11: Please don't use public away messages or change your nick to 'someone|away'.  We know you're away when you don't respond to messages. Also see !guidelines
[06:48] <GaiaX11> Kensey: thx
[06:48] <HymnToLife> you don't :p
[06:48] <shatrat> jumburrito, hmm, I dont know if it will have to time out or what.  I dont do it that way.  I dont reboot much either.
[06:49] <jumburrito> you use NFS?
[06:49] <jumburrito> i reboot alot on Ubuntu
[06:49] <jumburrito> and by reboot I mean unplug
[06:49] <yell0w> happy new year guys! go pigsss!!!
[06:49] <jumburrito> =D
[06:49] <shatrat> jumburrito, no,  only one PC here
[06:49] <jumburrito> oh
[06:49] <Kensey> is this Year of the Pig?
[06:49] <AlexC_> yep
[06:49] <chovy> i've rarely had to reboot.
[06:49] <jumburrito> would NFS be a better solution in that sense?
[06:49] <shatrat> jumburrito, however from what ive ready it is a lot simpler and more reliable than smb
[06:49] <Kensey> <snort, dig up truffle>
[06:49] <AlexC_> haha
[06:50] <GaiaX11> HymnToLife: thx
[06:50] <shatrat> jumburrito, smb is only for when you have to include windows PCs
[06:50] <yell0w> Kensey, yes
[06:50] <yell0w> =))
[06:50] <jumburrito> yeah that's why I did smb
[06:50] <ninuhadida> guys since you're mentioning time, on my ubuntu machine time keeps changing - like getting 5min off from the supposed time in a matter of 2 days (it's a server)
[06:50] <Sapote> hi jono : can i send u a private?
[06:50] <jumburrito> I didn't know enough about NFS
[06:50] <Kensey> nihu: it's either syncing with a server that's got a bad clock, or it's not syncing and has a bad clock itself
[06:50] <wendylady> im trying to play an mp3 and music player says that the GStreamer plugins cannot be found  how do I fix that ?

[06:51] <Kensey> when motherboard batteries start dying you get slow/no clock, and other such things.
[06:51] <ninuhadida> i have to synchronize it through the comand line, and then it's ok.. it aint a prob of the server i'm synchronizing it..
[06:52] <Kensey> as a workaround, you can either tell it to sync every so often, or enable ntpd to sync continuously
[06:52] <Kajin> What's the default path to the kernel source path when I use aptitude to install linux-kernel-devel?

[06:56] <kitche> Kajin: /usr/src/linux-xxxxx
[06:56] <HymnToLife> Kajin, dpkg -L linux-kernel-devel

[07:00] <RyconPayne> I'm having a white screen on login to Xgl/Beryl.  I have an ATI 9800 w/ the ATI drivers installed.  It's a fresh install of ubuntu, the only thing done to it is the ATI drivers, and Beryl installed
[07:00] <jarhed> is there any easy command to search for a particular package name than going to the site website?
[07:00] <ninuhadida> slart: ok i'll try to find that file and edit that with nano. thks
[07:00] <erUSUL> jarhed: apt-cache search
[07:00] <RyconPayne>  I've found many, many people having this problem, but I haven't found a working solution. I was hoping that people here would have more insight.
[07:00] <Slart> ninuhadida: you're welcome
[07:00] <jarhed> erUSUL: thanks
[07:00] <Slart> RyconPayne: have you tried the #winehq channel?

[07:01] <HymnToLife> what does wine have to do with anthing ?
[07:01] <HymnToLife> lol
[07:01] <RyconPayne> No one even acknowledges me there.
[07:01] <HymnToLife> spport for Beryl and friends in Ubuntu is on #ubuntu-effects

[07:04] <Slart> Paddy_EIRE: looks like you've got both windows and ubuntu on HD 0,0
[07:04] <zyth> Paddy_EIRE, MS windows root isn't hd0,0 if your ubuntu is there.
[07:05] <Paddy_EIRE> Slart, yes 1 drive
[07:05] <zyth> try 0,1 if they're on the same drive
[07:05] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[07:05] <drkm> does anyone here use KGet successfully with rapidshare?
[07:05] <zyth> or 0,2 if you have a swap part...
[07:05] <zyth> anyways, that's your issue
[07:05] <Slart> you do not have both on the same drive.. possibly the numbering changed when installing ubuntu..

[07:07] <mikejanssen> im not asking really for help
[07:07] <mikejanssen> just opinions...
[07:07] <soundray> mikejanssen: you are *still* in the wrong channel
[07:07] <Savant2k6> so... im thinking about replacing my OS from WinXP SP2 to Ubuntu, but ive got 2 important questions left, that are to be answered before i dare to ^^
[07:07] <AlexC_> mikejanssen:  #ubuntu+1
[07:07] <mikejanssen> so nobody in here has opinions?
[07:07] <mikejanssen> wow...
[07:07] <AlexC_> Savant2k6: then ask them, were not physic :P
[07:07] <aurelian_gemini> hy guys
[07:07] <Slart> Savant2k6: ask away...
[07:07] <Savant2k6> nice one... ok =)
[07:08] <AlexC_> mikejanssen: want opinions for Feisty? Then the channel for Feisty is #ubuntu+1
[07:08] <AlexC_> they will have a lot of opinions
[07:08] <Slart> Savant2k6: not saying we'll be able to answer.. but your chances improve drasticly by asking =)
[07:08] <aurelian_gemini> i have a problem with my wireless, can someone help me ?

[07:08] <sebrock> Flash13, I fixed the Azureus problem... looks like the repository package in Ubuntu is broken... I just downloaded the package from sourceforge instead
[07:08] <pgi947> can someone tell me what the error "905: unexpected user" means? and how can i resolve it?
[07:08] <Savant2k6> ive got this WLAN running here, and i use a Netgear WG111 USB-WLAN stick to connect to the WLAN. will i get this one to run? cant find any drivers on netgear.de or .com

[07:09] <AlexC_> hey,
[07:09] <drkm> does anyone here use KGet successfully with rapidshare?
[07:09] <bauer77> can anyone tell me why after I install the ATI drivers that fglxrinfo still says Mesa  and I get not 3d acceleration?

[07:09] <ubotu> drkm: 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?
[07:09] <Slart> Savant2k6: ouch.. I haven't tried using wireless on my ubuntu machine yet.. try searching for the name of your wireless equipment +ubuntu on google.. see if anytihng shows up
[07:09] <soundray> Savant2k6: is it version 1 or 2?
[07:09] <aurelian_gemini> i installed ubuntu for the first time , i saw the card, i configured it and after reboot no card
[07:10] <HellCat[Zz] > how I can disable the auto updates in gnome?
[07:10] <sebrock> Slart, yeah... check the bug db for this, apparently the broken package has been an issue for quite some time...
[07:10] <drkm> ubotu: I'm not intersted in playing with semantics.. you know the question
[07:10] <ubotu> im: mail/news handling commands and Perl modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:148-5 (edgy), package size 310 kB, installed size 1260 kB
[07:10] <aurelian_gemini> the card is an D-Ling DWL-G650
[07:10] <Savant2k6> soundray: guess its v1, it does not say 2.0 anywhere
[07:10] <AlexC_> HellCat[Zz] : not sure how to set it, but next time you get an update - right click on the icon and choose "disable updates" or something like that
[07:10] <Slart> sebrock: ah.. well dl'ing from sourceforge sounds like a solid solution until they get it fixed
[07:10] <Mariyo> someone has a link for a guide how I startup my server without Gnome? I'd figured out Gnome takes alot of Memory =/ which init level? how do i set init level?
[07:11] <HellCat[Zz] > thx AlexC_
[07:11] <AlexC_> Mariyo: hold on, getting link.
[07:11] <sebrock> Slart, yeah, and you get a newer version too :D
[07:11] <Mariyo> ok :)
[07:11] <AlexC_> Mariyo: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.10 - you should start with the Server install disk aswell ... as that installs no GUI/DE
[07:11] <soundray> Savant2k6: all right, in that case my experience doesn't apply here
[07:11] <jalvarado> i need a tutoria of desklets... a little of help someone?
[07:11] <jalvarado> gdesklets
[07:11] <Slart> sebrock: huh? what version is that? I have 2.5.0.4
[07:12] <Quilby> how do i make a cron that executes when i log in (ubuntu 6.06)???
[07:12] <aurelian_gemini> hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo anyone here ?
[07:12] <Mariyo> install disk = cd with Linux Installation Image at? :P
[07:12] <soundray> aurelian_gemini: stop spamming
[07:12] <erUSUL> Mariyo: sudo update-rc.d -f remove gdm iirci
[07:12] <Quilby> !search cron
[07:12] <ubotu> Found: cron, lamp, ftbs
[07:12] <bart_> Quilby, add the command to ~/.bashrc
[07:12] <Slart> Quilby: I don't think cron is supposed to do stuff when you log in.. there's a session manages in one of the menus somewhere..
[07:12] <sebrock> Slart, aw well, its that version :d
[07:12] <soundray> !gdesklets | jalvarado
[07:12] <ubotu> jalvarado: gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[07:12] <zyth> bart_, does stuff in .bashrc execute when you log into X though?
[07:12] <sebrock> Slart, did u get it from rep?
[07:13] <AlexC_> aurelian_gemini: no, no one is here - we are not talkign, all of this is a dream. When you wake up you will see a cat on you're bed.
[07:13] <Savant2k6> another IMPORTANT question is: will i be abled to play "World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade" in ubuntu? Someone who has it running and can tell me some stuff maybe?
[07:13] <zyth> Savant2k6, it works.
[07:13] <Savant2k6> cant live w/o that game :(
[07:13] <Quilby> !cron
[07:13] <Slart> sebrock: I did ..*ahem*.. the bad thing-..*coughautomatix*
[07:13] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[07:13] <jalvarado> ubotu, thanks
[07:13] <AlexC_> Quilby: you can add scripts to the startup session ( System->Prefs->Session
[07:13] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[07:13] <zyth> Savant2k6, you just have to install Wine.
[07:13] <bart_> zylche, that .xsession
[07:13] <hardcampa> Savant2k6: just keep windows and dual boot
[07:13] <T2> hi all i got a problem with rosegarden, it complains that my system timers too low, can i fix this without kernel recompilation? or is there another way of playing the midi?
[07:13] <Mariyo> erUSUL: what will that command do?
[07:13] <zylche> ?
[07:13] <Quilby> ok
[07:13] <zyth> bart_, yeah, that was my point :)
[07:13] <Quilby> thanks guys
[07:13] <Slart> Savant2k6: wow is possibly the most supported windows game using wine
[07:14] <aurelian_gemini> >?
[07:14] <aurelian_gemini> ,.
[07:14] <bart_> :P
[07:14] <Savant2k6> hardcampa: i did not want to keep dual boot. i want to get away from MS if possible
[07:14] <jarhed> isn't WOW directX heavy?
[07:14] <zylche> :P
[07:14] <hardcampa> that's just stupid.
[07:14] <zyth> jarhed, it can run in OpenGL mode
[07:14] <sebrock> Slart, hehe, well now we know how to do it easy
 : thank u i just need some help
[07:14] <erUSUL> Mariyo: it will remove the links to the gdm init script for all runlevels so X wont start
[07:14] <jarhed> got it
[07:14] <T2> wow is v well supported by cedega
[07:14] <Taime1> whats the best eye candy for ubuntu? gdesklets?
[07:14] <jarhed> i was wondering how that would work via wine
[07:14] <soundray> hardcampa: don't do that
[07:14] <zyth> jarhed, it works fine in Wine, I run it.  Am right now actually.
[07:14] <AlexC_> aurelian_gemini: We are not getting paid to sit in here and help people. If you don't respect that we are giving up our own free time to help people, then please - leave or stop spamming the channel up.
[07:15] <Mariyo> erUSUL: ok.. is it possible to restore the X then?
[07:15] <jarhed> Taimel: gdesklets is fun, pretty and FUNCTIONAL!
[07:15] <erUSUL> Mariyo: is sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[07:15] <Slart> Savant2k6: look here for specifics  http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1922
[07:15] <Savant2k6> yeah, i got a nice GF 7800GT, and i expect some eye candy, so i wonder if i will miss stuff when playing in openGL mode
[07:15] <Chadarius> jarhed: WOW will work with WINE just fine
[07:15] <Quilby> i have a couple of commands that i want to execute at startup- how do i put them all together?
[07:15] <Taime1> thanks!
[07:15] <Chadarius> jarhed: It can run using open gl
[07:15] <T2> Quilby: login or system startup?
[07:15] <Quilby> both
[07:15] <erUSUL> Mariyo: yes with the same comand 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults'
[07:15] <jarhed> Chadarius: thanks
[07:16] <Savant2k6> Chadarius: so it does not run in D3D mode?
[07:16] <jarhed> Chadarius: not a WOW fan, but other games...unfortunately they use DirectX
[07:16] <jarhed> :-(
[07:16] <soundray> Quilby: call startup programs from /etc/rc.local
[07:16] <Mariyo> thx.. trying now..
[07:16] <Quilby> soundray: how do i do this
[07:16] <Chadarius> jarhed: Nope, its recommended to use the wow command line to force it to use open GL
[07:16] <AlexC_> Quilby: sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
[07:16] <wepeel> hey has anyone had trouble playing mp3s through K3B?
[07:17] <Rprp> Soo
[07:17] <AlexC_> !anyone | wepeel
[07:17] <ubotu> wepeel: 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?
[07:17] <zyth> Chadarius, umm no.. you can set the option in your Config.wtf also
[07:17] <HymnToLife> wepeel, k3b needs an extra plugin to handle mp3, search for it in apt
[07:17] <wepeel> AlexC: funny, that was my real question
[07:17] <Chadarius> jarhed: Also you can run a number of games with DX9 support in WINE. You can also look at Cedega which is WINE like. There is a free CVS implementation of Cedega available so you don't have to pay for it
[07:17] <Quilby> alex: thanks ill try
[07:17] <soundray> Quilby: edit the file with 'gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local' and add the commands in the order you want them executed, before the exit 0 command
[07:17] <tomp> hello, about how much disk space is needed by Ubuntu 6.06 LTS? and how small might it be reduced to? ( old laptop 2.1 g hd )
[07:17] <Chadarius> zyth: True that!
[07:17] <wepeel> I have the correct plugin, the mp3s play choopy and poppy
[07:17] <gravemind> hi all, I had to install ndiswrapper and configure WPA supplicant to get internet working on another computer
[07:17] <bart_> How can you find out what info the ubotu bot can show ?
[07:17] <Gosha> i think both are GMT allready
[07:18] <wepeel> HymnToLife: it used to play ok, but now it's poppy
[07:18] <jarhed> i'll have to check that out
[07:18] <cornice> hi all
[07:18] <gravemind> but the next day, wlan0 completely disappeared from ifconfig
[07:18] <Chadarius> jarhed: I play WOW, City of Heroes, and Guildwars just fine in Linux using Cedega or Wine.
[07:18] <sebrock> Slart, one quick question tho, how can I make the command "azureus" to start wherever I am, now I have to run ./azureus in that folder?
[07:18] <gravemind> what do I do to bring it back?
[07:18] <shatrat> bart_, its all searchable on some webpage, I forget where though
[07:18] <jarhed> I'm a huge Battlefield 2 fan, but it's direct X heavy
[07:18] <soundray> AlexC_: please don't tell people to start GUI programs with sudo. gksudo is safer.
[07:18] <AlexC_> wepeel: asking "Does anyone have trouble with mp3" is not a question that will help you if we anwser it. Asking like "How can I get K3B to play MP3 files?" is a better question,
[07:18] <bart_> shatrat, kk
[07:18] <AlexC_> soundray: sorry, guess it's just out of habit :P
[07:18] <bart_> !test
[07:18] <Chadarius> jarhed: Battlefield will work, but only single player mode. Punkbuster is not yet well supported in WINE/Cedega
[07:18] <ubotu> Failed.
[07:18] <wepeel> AlexC: that was not the question I was interested in hearing the answer to
[07:18] <bart_> !help
[07:18] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[07:19] <ehc> i think that my color depth is low which is making the screen look like it has lines across it. how can i check this?
[07:19] <zyth> Chadarius, only issue I've found with WoW is that if it does a patch update and then launches automatically from the launcher, it hard locks my system.  Works fine if I run Wow.exe though
[07:19] <Chadarius> jarhed: Its the only reason I even have a Windows boot partition is to play Battlefield 2142
[07:19] <cc2k> how come my www folder all sais its user www-data,  except 1 folder, it sais its root?  how do i change that rooot dir?
[07:19] <Savant2k6> ive got another question more for the hardware freaks in here i guess: ive got a pci soundblaster audigy 2 + an onboard ALC850 by realtek - which one should i keep? and why? Does it make sense to run the audigy although i have that onboard thing?
[07:19] <soundray> wepeel: this is a support channel. It is not for private polls.
[07:19] <novice> my computer is i686 architecture ......... but i have downloaded ubuntu 6.10 i386 file .... can i use it to install 6.10??
[07:19] <soundray> novice: yes
[07:19] <jarhed> Chadarius: I enjoy that one as well.
[07:19] <soundray> novice: in fact, it is the best one you could have downloaded :)
[07:19] <Chadarius> cc2k: Which www directory? Under your home dir?
[07:19] <cc2k> var/www
[07:20] <cc2k> apache
[07:20] <tomp> how much disk drive space does ubuntu 6.06 LTS need, and hopw small might be possible? I have a laptop with 2.1 G hd
[07:20] <Chousuke> depends on what you're going to install
[07:20] <Chadarius> cc2k: Yes that is correct and you need to keep that user as the owner because that is the apache user
[07:20] <jarhed> Chadarius: thanks...looks like i'll be adding my second hd to my system tonight and adding windows  :-(
[07:20] <novice> k..... bu t i'm experiencing pro in installing it ........ while using manually edit partition table
[07:20] <Chousuke> tomp: about 1 GB should do it.
[07:20] <soundray> tomp: I recommend you use the alternate installer. You might fare better with xubuntu
[07:20] <Chadarius> cc2k: If you want to add or change things in that directory you need to use sudo to do it
[07:20] <Slart> Savant2k6: I also have an audigy + on board sound.. I use both.. one for speakers (music etc), one for a headset for gaming and such'
[07:20] <soundray> novice: be specific
[07:20] <shatrat> tomp, you might want to look at something like damn small linux though, or at least xubuntu
[07:20] <novice> soundray: when gparted window appears struks there
[07:21] <dyrne> Savant2k6: i like pci cards because they free up resources at least that used to be an issue not sure so much these days
[07:21] <Chousuke> tomp: but you can make it smaller with th alternative installer.
[07:21] <cc2k> sudo chom 777 filename?
[07:21] <wepeel> soundray: my apologies...I wasn't polling,; rather, I wanted to open a dialogue with others who have been having problems with K3B and try to find out what resources were available for rixes
[07:21] <wepeel> *fixes
[07:21] <Chadarius> cc2k: If you want to work on web specific stuff in your home dir use ~/public_html which will show up as http://localhost/~[userid] 
[07:21] <soundray> wepeel: ask the question that AlexC suggested then.
[07:21] <Savant2k6> dyrne/slart: i heard rumors about onboard stuff does not eat as much cpu as the pci boards do... thats why im asking
[07:21] <Mao_Tse_Tung> hi
[07:21] <bart_> !apache > me
[07:22] <wepeel> soundray: no. I don't need to know how to play mp3s through K3B.
[07:22] <AlexC_> wepeel: exactly - so if _you_ are having a problem with K3B and MP3, then ASK "How can I get K3B to play MP3 Files?"
[07:22] <Slart> Savant2k6: I think the opposite
[07:22] <Chadarius> cc2k: you should repace [userid]  with your own user ID on the system you are using
[07:22] <AlexC_> wepeel: then what do you want? Tea and Cake?
[07:22] <soundray> wepeel: in that case, I suggest you join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:22] <Mao_Tse_Tung> is there a software to encode .AVI  to .MP4 for psp?? what is the command for ffmperg??
[07:22] <Savant2k6> slart: that was what i was thinking to. since the pci thingie has its own cpu... heh
[07:22] <gravemin1> how can I get wlan0 back on the list of ifconfig?
[07:22] <cc2k> Chadarius: im kinda n00b on ubuntu.. so ehm.. u gioing a bit too fast ^^
[07:23] <Mattcudmore> Does anyone know how I can get English-CANADA spelling support in OpenOffice? Canadian English is the default for my system, and it works in Kate, but in OpenOffice it seems not to be installed.. Only en-US is available, and that's not what I need. (Have this problem with all my installations)
[07:23] <Slart> Savant2k6: plus many on board sound chips lack hardware mixing .. so you end up doing it in software
[07:23] <cc2k> Chadarius let me explain the sitiation
[07:23] <Savant2k6> slart: plus i guess soundblaster will have good drivers... (well... i guess *G*)
[07:23] <soundray> tomp: how much RAM does your laptop have?
[07:23] <Chadarius> cc2k: NP man:)... perfect
[07:23] <Slart> Mattcudmore: there is a wizard for installing dictionaries I think.. check the leftmost menu
[07:23] <tomp> soundray: Chousuke:  i used alternate. did not see how to reduce what was installed. F keys didnt allign to any of the menu list, so I chose oem ( the help keys listed lots of alternates, but didn not suggest how to use them )
[07:23] <novice>  soundray: when gparted window appears struks there
[07:23] <bart_> !info democracy
[07:23] <ubotu> Package democracy does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[07:23] <gravemin1> Mattcudmore: try the wizard in file>wizards>install new dictionaries
[07:24] <wepeel> AlexC,soundray : Ok, let me try to be more explicit. mp3 playback through K3b using the Alsa mixer is poppy. Is there a fix
[07:24] <Slart> Savant2k6: yes.. the sudigy drivers are good.. at least I haven't had problems with them.. no thanks to creative though
[07:24] <Mao_Tse_Tung> is there a software to encode .AVI  to .MP4 for psp?? what is the command for ffmperg??
[07:24] <tomp> soundray: 48 meg :( 128 coming in mail
[07:24] <bart_> For all multimedia fans , http://www.getdemocracy.com/
[07:24] <Savant2k6> slart: lol. yeah, heard about that. guess they're sponsored by MS somehow (like many others are)
[07:24] <soundray> tomp: wait for the mail to arrive before you install -- it'll save you headaches ;)
[07:25] <cc2k> Chadarius: im using apche and the rest needed for a server, installed joomla(cms) on it, they all apear as www-data  when i do a ls -l.  now i installed a phpbb-bridge for joomla, buit it gives me root on those folders i added instead of www-data
[07:25] <jalvarado> i know what are gDesklets and i actually have some working on my ubuntu, i would like to know about a tutorial of how to develop my own gDesklets
[07:25] <Mattcudmore> gravemin1: thank you! That's just what I'm looking for.
[07:25] <bart_> !info php
[07:25] <ubotu> Package php does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[07:25] <cc2k> Chadarius: and i need to have them at www-data 777... :)
[07:25] <bart_> !find php
[07:25] <ubotu> Found: dh-make-php, egroupware-phpbrain, egroupware-phpsysinfo, gphpedit, htcheck-php (and 198 others)
[07:25] <Chadarius> cc2k: ah OK... so you can change all the file ownership back to www-data
[07:26] <gravemin1> mattcudmore: no problem. OO.o should have a faq somewhere that tells us these things
[07:26] <cc2k> Chadarius thats the problem, how ^^:)
[07:26] <wepeel> AlexC, soundray: is that question also off-topic?
[07:26] <Chadarius> cc2k: This is easy... run chown -R www-data /var/www
[07:26] <cc2k> Chadarius": also how come my files are green? when i used the chmod command?
[07:26] <Chadarius> cc2k: oh make that a sudo command too :)
[07:26] <soundray> wepeel: no, it's fine, well done
[07:26] <AlexC_> wepeel: my name is AlexC_ ... not AlexC =) and no, not off topic
[07:26] <Chadarius> cc2k: sudo chown -R www-data /var/www
[07:26] <gravemin1> I installed ndiswrapper and could access the internet yesterday, but today when  I tried to connect, it wouldn't work. I checked ifconfig, and "wlan0" had disappeared! What do I do?
[07:27] <soundray> wepeel: is your libk3b2-mp3 up to date?
[07:27] <wepeel> AlexC_: stickler ;)
[07:27] <M0E-lnx> is xorg 7.2 available yet?
[07:27] <cc2k> k
[07:27] <wepeel> soundray: let me check
[07:27] <Chadarius> gravemin1: Did it add an eth1 card instead? That's what my ndiswrapper does
[07:27] <crimsun> M0E-lnx: it's being pushed into Feisty atm.
[07:27] <AlexC_> MOE-lnx not sure, but it will be in Fesity, #ubuntu+1
[07:27] <Mariyo> how do i add, f.ex the "proftpd" program to startup?
[07:27] <tomp> soundray: thanks: any suggestions about this: it has no floppy and no boot from cd, so i pulled the hd out and installed it using another box... i worry that the hdwr detection will cause problems, is there a way to copy the cd image to and boot from that? (i could use damnsmalllinux maybe )
[07:27] <jalvarado> graveminl, maybe you can try with sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[07:27] <A1Mega> Hi, Can anyone recommend an app that records whatever is going out over the speakers? I was using "Mp3MyMp3" for windows but can't seem to find anything like that for Ubuntu.
[07:27] <gravemin1> no, it was definitely wlan0
[07:28] <wepeel> soundray: yep, it's the most recent version
[07:28] <soundray> jalvarado: you should probably look for a place where gnome developers hang out. This channel may not be the best one to ask your question.
[07:28] <erUSUL> Mariyo: with the same comand 'sudo update-rc.d proftpd defaults'
[07:28] <A1Mega> Wepeel: was that for me?
[07:28] <Mariyo> hmm
[07:28] <gravemin1> AlMega: check digg. they had something like this a while ago
[07:28] <jalvarado> soundray, thanks
[07:28] <cc2k> Chadarius: folder apps has now  www-data and root after it..
[07:28] <soundray> wepeel: I take it you've set k3b to play via alsa, not taking any sound daemon detours?
[07:28] <jarhed> Chadarius: where can I download the CVS version of Cedega?
[07:28] <A1Mega> gravemin1: Okay. Thanks!
[07:29] <Mariyo> erUSUL: if I have a file id like to "source" from then?
[07:29] <wepeel> soundray: that's correct. It used to work just fine...but today I wanted to preview a mix before burning and it's all whacko
[07:29] <Chadarius> jarhed: http://transgaming.org/cvs/
[07:29] <Beverage> hey folks anyone got an explanation why i start my computer today and my sound doesnt work says "No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[07:29] <AlexC_> wepeel: define "whacko"
[07:29] <dromer> hi, I heard that in linux you can watch movies from rar-archives without having to extract them, how can I do this?
[07:29] <jarhed> Chadarius: thx
[07:29] <wepeel> AlexC_: the sound pops like an old record
[07:29] <whadar> I wrote a guide called "HOWTO boot LiveCDs from the Internet" which shows internet boot of feisty (http://vamosproject.org/InternetBoot). is it ok to link from ubuntuforums to the guide?
[07:30] <Chadarius> jarhed: I actually pay them $5 per month because I want great gaming without Winbl0ws :)
[07:30] <mindstate> anyone know of any software for palm pilots that allow me to put mp3's onto my sdcard? jpilot doesnt recognize mp3's nor kpilot
[07:30] <cc2k> Chadarius: folder apps has now  www-data and root after it.. <-- ^^
[07:30] <soundray> tomp: it's a good question that I've asked myself for a similar project, but I haven't found an answer yet. Maybe you'll find something on one of the install help pages:
[07:30] <soundray> !install | tomp
[07:30] <ubotu> tomp: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:30] <Chadarius> jarhed: I think there might some install technologies that aren't as well supported in the CVS version
[07:30] <wepeel> AlexC_ , soundray: alsa works fine in all other programs that play mp3s
[07:30] <tomp> soundray: thanks, in this storm of messages, you've been helpful :)
[07:31] <Chadarius> cc2k: Yeah that is OK I think
[07:31] <cc2k> k.. :) thx Chadarius gonne try it and bb real soon if it isnt k ^^:)
[07:31] <Beverage> hey folks anyone got an explanation why i start my computer today and my sound doesnt work says "No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[07:31] <sebrock> how do I make azureus the default program to open .torrent files?
[07:31] <soundray> wepeel: perhaps some other sound app is interfering? A nasty one is skype in my experience...
[07:31] <soundray> !repeat | Beverage
[07:31] <ubotu> Beverage: 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
[07:32] <cc2k> Chadarius: just 1 quick question, why i got green filenames  ?
[07:32] <Chadarius> cc2k: If you need to make a specific directory 777 then do "sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/dir"
[07:32] <wepeel> soundray: hurm. I don't use skype, but let me check some others. What's weird is that initially, K3B wanted to use aRTs
[07:32] <cc2k> k thx Chadarius:)
[07:32] <Chadarius> cc2k: Cause your user ID doesn't own the files most likely.
[07:32] <sebrock> nevermind :)
[07:33] <cc2k> Chadarius: i need to do sudo bash again then?
[07:33] <am> ?
[07:33] <soundray> cc2k: green usually means executable. Try 'ls --color=none' to get rid of that colour coding
[07:33] <am> hi
[07:33] <hedegaard> how do I disable that sound it makes every time I hit the end of a file or auto-complete in console ... .i believe that it's called bell something in some conf file ... ? anyone remembers ?
[07:33] <Chadarius> cc2k: sudo is the best way to manipulate the files yes
[07:33] <cc2k> thx soundray
[07:33] <cc2k> Chadarius u 2:)
[07:33] <Mariyo> erUSUL: got pm?
[07:33] <soundray> hedegaard: Sys-Prefs-Sound-System Beep
[07:33] <Chadarius> cc2k: I would use sudo before I made anything 777 with chmod. That's not very secure on a web server
[07:33] <Hemant> Anyone have account on demonoid.com/??  plz send me a invitation ??
[07:33] <erUSUL> Mariyo: only registerd users can pm
[07:34] <erUSUL> !pm | Mariyo
[07:34] <ubotu> Mariyo: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[07:34] <wepeel> soundray : is there a way to see what's using alsa right now?
[07:34] <betatux> Hemant, demonoid registration for new users is open in the weekends i think.
[07:34] <DaveR> Hi,  I hav two hard drives, one with windows on and the other with ubuntu.  Windows is on the master hard drive and ubuntu on the slave.  what i want is instead of my computer booting straight into windows, it gives me the option to choose which OS to use.  how can i so this?
[07:34] <am> join #ubuntu.pl
[07:34] <Hemant> you mean tomorrow dear ??
[07:34] <cc2k> Chadarius: whats difrnece between sudo chomd and chmod?
[07:35] <soundray> wepeel: there might be, with lsof or similar, but I'm no expert
[07:35] <Hemant> betatux, you mean tomorrow ??
[07:35] <Mariyo> sry.. i', new to both irc and this channel:P
 ehm.. should I just reboot server after executing "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove"?
[07:35] <kitche> DaveR: install grub if you haven't already
[07:35] <betatux> Hemant, yes
[07:35] <Savant2k6> hm... i downloaded the 6.10 AMD64 Version of Ubuntu cuz i use an Athlon64 3000+ here. will that cause any trouble? say: should i better use the i386 version for compatibility?
[07:35] <Chadarius> cc2k: without sudo you wouldn't have the rights to change the files in /var/www
[07:35] <mon^rch> Savant2k6: use the i386 one
[07:35] <Slart> Savant2k6:  there are some issues with 64 bit.. flash for example
[07:35] <Hemant> betatux,  thanks dude !
[07:35] <cc2k> oke, so kinda a login?
[07:36] <Bryann> there is no flash etc in 64 bit
[07:36] <Chadarius> cc2k: sudo elevates your ID to "root" so you can manipulate system directories like that
[07:36] <Slart> Savant2k6: so I'd stick with 32 bit for now.. you won't miss 64 bit
[07:36] <wepeel> soundray: ok, last ditch effort, then....do you know of any program comparable to K3B?
[07:36] <erUSUL> !sudo > cc2k
[07:36] <cc2k> Chadarius: so basicly a root login?:)
[07:36] <soundray> Savant2k6: I'm on amd64 and got all the 32bit stuff that I needed to run (acroread, firefox, flash)
[07:36] <tabman> i'm installing Ubuntu on a logical drive, after that i need to install Windows Xp to create a multi boot system, would windows rewrite the Grub ?
[07:36] <cc2k> thx erUSUL^^
[07:36] <soundray> !burn | wepeel
[07:36] <ubotu> wepeel: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[07:36] <Hemant> betatux,  do you have account on demonoid  dear ??
[07:37] <Chadarius> cc2k: Yes... if you get sick of typing sudo infront of everything you can use "sudo su" and that will put you into a root shell
[07:37] <Slart> soundray, Savant2k6: same here, also on 64 bit and running 32-bit firefox etc.. but it's still a hassle.. especially for a new user
[07:37] <cc2k> sudo su  and sudo bash=same?
[07:37] <betatux> Hemant, i do , but you must have a certain ratio before you get invitation passes.
[07:37] <Beverage> Over night something happened with my ubuntu, i turned on this morning and my sound doesnt work, and i cant access automatix i get this message "Failed to run /usr/bin/automatix.py jon /home/jon 1000  as user root."
[07:37] <kitche> cc2k: yes but you should use sudo -i in reality
[07:37] <slippyr4> hello, is there a package database a bit like gentoo-portage.com but for ubuntu?
[07:37] <erUSUL> cc2k: no need to use this use sudo -i to get a root shell
[07:37] <soundray> Savant2k6, Slart: it's only worth the extra effort if you do video encoding or other numbercrunching
[07:38] <kitche> !automatix | Beverage
[07:38] <ubotu> Beverage: 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
[07:38] <cc2k> lol thx every1,  u guys make this windows guy get more headache ^^
[07:38] <Hemant> betatux, you don't have ??
[07:38] <cbx33> !WorksForMe
[07:38] <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.
[07:38] <cc2k> im still a n00b but like ubuntu, gives me the old dos feeling back ^^:)
[07:38] <Savant2k6> soundray: hm... video encoding will be with it from time to time ^^ and of course: gaming using wine and such
[07:38] <betatux> hemant , nope , can't invite people .
[07:38] <cbx33> heh :p
[07:38] <Slart> soundray, Savant2k6: I agree.. if you're running big number crunching stuff.. or video encoding and don't mind the extra work to get that extra performance.. go with 64 bit.. if you just want to use your computer, go with 32-bit =)
[07:38] <tabman> ?
[07:38] <gravemin1> Beverage: you might be using a different kernel than you were yesterdayd
[07:38] <Quilby> how do i make it so that every time i log in/start up the computer, a couple of commands are executed in the terminal????
[07:38] <Hemant> betatux, ok dear !
[07:38] <Beverage> kitche, i was wondering why i cant access it....i dont think that it is the problem i think my OS is the problem
[07:38] <wepeel> soundray: ok thanks for the list. I've a few of those others installed...but I think K3B is the only one with playback. K3B burns just fine
[07:39] <Mariyo> i got to know how to start a path'ed program during startup.. now i'd likt how to add a program "/srcds_l/srcds_run <parameters>"..
[07:39] <gravemin1> Beverage: try rebooting and seeing if there's an older kernel you can boot into, and see if that works
[07:39] <Beverage> graveminl, okay
[07:39] <kitche> Beverage: could be but automatix can also break a system and you have automatix
[07:39] <soundray> Savant2k6: consider doing two installations if you have the patience, and only boot the 64bit one for those special occasions.
[07:39] <Savant2k6> slart: that is what i needet to hear. so ill burn the 64bit one and try my way through. theres no better way to learn
[07:39] <Savant2k6> soundray: good suggestion!
[07:39] <Quilby> how do i make it so that every time i log in/start up the computer, a couple of commands are executed in the terminal????
[07:39] <Slart> Savant2k6: you've been warned..  =)
[07:40] <DaveR> kitche: ok, thanks.  i got that but it says i have to first install it on my UNIX-like OS, is that ubuntu? because i can't get onto ubuntu because i installed windows second and it doesn't load now :(
[07:40] <Slart> Quilby: system, preferences, sessions if you want it to run when you log into X, there's other places if you need it to run on computer start
[07:40] <arron> Hello can someone help me get hardware acceleration working on an ATi Card?
[07:40] <Slart> !ati | arron
[07:40] <ubotu> arron: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:40] <Savant2k6> Slart: well, if my usb-wlan stick thingie doesnt work, ill get me a bridge... who cares damnit. ebay has it all ^^
[07:41] <slippyr4> anyone know of a web-based ubuntu package database??
[07:41] <arron> Slart: ive installed the drivers and they don't work
[07:41] <betatux> !nvidia > me
[07:41] <Chadarius> Quilby: You can edit /etc/rc.local
[07:41] <Quilby> slart, i want to run a couple of commands, not one..
[07:41] <Slart> Savant2k6: hehe.. throw money at the problem..  =)
[07:41] <wepeel> soundray , AlexC_ : ok, well thanks for your time. I think there's probably another app accessing alsa...
[07:41] <bauer77> can somebody tell me how I get to use the ATI drivers instead of the Mesa, I have followed the read me's until I get grey hairs and still having problems (ATI Radeon Mobility 9700)
[07:41] <soundray> wepeel: reboot...?
[07:41] <Chadarius> Quilby: It will let you add commands for the system as the last thing it does in teh boot process
[07:41] <Slart> arron: oh... keep asking then.. I'm using nvidia.. can't help you with ati other than pointing you to the wiki
[07:41] <Quilby> chadarius: in rc.local do i just put in the commands like i would in the terminal, or is it a special programming language
[07:42] <usuario> hello
[07:42] <wepeel> soundray: yep. that's what I'm going to do. If that doesn't work, I'll just live with it :)
[07:42] <arron> can someone help me get hardware acceleration working on an ATi Card?
[07:42] <Chadarius> Quilby: Its just normal command line stuff
[07:42] <Savant2k6> slart: yeah, thinking of what i save in money when NOT taking MS, this will not really be the problem... and i rather spend it on good hardware then on ... something else ^^
[07:42] <Slart> Quilby: put them into a ,sh file and run that file then (sh myfile.sh)
[07:42] <Slart> Savant2k6: hehe.. never thought about it that way.. but sure.. you've got a couple of hundred dollars to spend =)
[07:42] <Quilby> slart: ok thanks
[07:42] <usuario> cabrones
[07:43] <gravemin1> I need help with my wireless
[07:43] <Chadarius> Quilby: You can just put the commands right in the file or you can call the shell script to do it too. Are you wanting to run these commands when you login or when your PC boots up?
[07:43] <slippyr4> anyone know of a web-based ubuntu package database??
[07:43] <usuario> espaa
[07:43] <gravemin1> wlan0 disappeared from ifconfig, and I don't know how to get it back
[07:43] <Chadarius> Quilby: There are ways to do it for when Gnome or KDE boots for your specific user ID as well
[07:43] <entotre> I have a amd64 cpu, I have downloaded ubuntu 6.10 i386. Will this have any problems?
[07:43] <usuario> viva espaa
[07:43] <kitche> slippyr4: packages.ubuntu.com
[07:43] <arron> entotre: no it won't
[07:43] <gravemin1> entotre: it will work
[07:43] <Quilby> chadar:  i wanna do it in both situations...
[07:43] <andrynux> salve
[07:43] <arron> entotre: ive done that and it works fine :)
[07:44] <gravemin1> entotre: I'm doing it right now
[07:44] <soundray> entotre: no
[07:44] <slippyr4> kitche: perfect, thanks
[07:44] <entotre> uhm
[07:44] <tabman> I have a ubuntu installation, I need to install Windows now and get a dual boot ?
[07:44] <entotre> im getting different awnsers here
[07:44] <Quilby> should i make it into a .sh file and then run it from the sessions thing
[07:44] <Quilby> ?
[07:44] <Chadarius> Quilby: OK I'm not totally sure about gnome, but for KDE you can put scripts or links to programs in ~/.kde/Autostart and they will run when you start that user's session
[07:45] <bauer77> arron: I am having an ATI issue to
[07:45] <bauer77> what is yours?
[07:45] <gravemin1> entotre: Installing i386 is a lot easier than getting everything to work in edgy64
[07:45] <Chadarius> Quilby: let me check for Gnome
[07:45] <Beverage> I rebooted choose the alternate kernel and when i get to lgin screen i have sound, but after that it says i do not have no volume control or GStreamer plugins installed
[07:45] <Quilby> thanks
[07:45] <soundray> tabman: have you left space for windows on the hard disk?
[07:45] <tabman> soundray: yes I have a separate ntfs partition for Windows
[07:46] <Gabrielote> someone help me with kppp
[07:46] <Gabrielote> !?
[07:46] <tabman> soundray: but I think if I install xp it'll rewrite the grub thing
[07:46] <entotre> gravemin1, i have 64 on my laptop and ive noticed that there are quite a few things thats hard getting to work properly in 64. So when i install i386, I can use all i386 applications? drivers, flash etc.
[07:46] <AndyBlah> tabman: did you install it to the partition or the MBR?
[07:46] <soundray> tabman: you will have to apply a fix after the install
[07:46] <gravemin1> soundray: use super grub disk to get grub back
[07:46] <soundray> !grub | tabman
[07:46] <ubotu> tabman: 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
[07:46] <soundray> gravemin1: I don't need that advice, but thanks anyway ;)
[07:47] <gravemin1> entotre: yes, when you install i386, your computer will behave exactly like a 32bit computer, so everything will work

[07:56] <lightseed> Beverage: /etc/group?
[07:56] <Mena_> how to change the boot splash screen
[07:56] <soundray> seamus7: do a 'ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf*' to see if there are any config backups. If there is, copy it back with 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.whatever /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[07:56] <LjL> !usplash > Mena_    (Mena_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:56] <bauer77> seamus7: Did you back up your xorg.conf file?
[07:56] <Mena_> ok
[07:56] <seamus7> shoumik: wouldn't you go to the 'media devices' tab in amarok and choose 'detect'??
[07:56] <Mattias> when i do "sudo xinput set-button-map "Logitech G5-usb-0000:00:1d.3-1/input0" 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20" i get unable to find device Logitech G5-usb-0000:00:1d.3-1/input0  even tho i took the right device name from xinput list, can't configure my mouse any other way, so if anyone knows whats wrong i'd apprecite it

[07:57] <bauer77> I keep getting the mesa drivers intead of the ATI drivers
[07:57] <Mattias> bauer77: did you change driver in xorg.conf?
[07:57] <kitche> tcpip: by chance is this printer a network printer?
[07:57] <seamus7> shoumik: I believe there is one if you go to 'configure amarok' under options (i think) and there you can choose media devices and auto-detect or something similar
[07:58] <bauer77> Mattias: How do I do that?
[07:58] <tcpip> kitche: no local lpt1

[07:58] <kitche> tcpip: hmm ok not what I thought then
[07:58] <soundray> seamus7: that's rude, ignoring an answer and repeating the question
[07:58] <Mena_> LjL, ok i try it thanks
[07:59] <tcpip> kitche: any suggestions
[07:59] <seamus7> soundray: oh sorry i missed yours ... i was answering someone else's ... hold on let me check yours ... thx
[07:59] <Kajin> Guys, I'm trying to compile the kernel module for my nVidia video card, but it fails after reaching 100% and the nvidia-installer.log says something about 'Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-28/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions'..
[07:59] <bauer77> Mattias: I backed up my xorg.conf file but how to I edit the xorg.conf file
[07:59] <Mattias> bauer77: if you installed the driver then thats what is left, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide  that guid should show exactly how to install ati driver
[08:00] <atomiku> What can I do to force my game (Enemy territory) to use ALSA instead of OSS? I've tried aoss...
[08:00] <shoumik> when i do autodetct it doesn't find it.
[08:00] <shoumik> i have it plugged in too
[08:00] <seamus7> soundray: yeah I booted into recovery mode and used some backups but they won't work ... I may have lost the default backup ... is there a way of reconfiguring everything back to default using the terminal?
[08:00] <bauer77> Mattias: I have been there 100 times, and still having issues
[08:00] <Mattias> bauer77: just saw that you can either manually edit xorg.conf or just type "sudo aticonfig --initial" in a terminal
[08:01] <bauer77> I did the sudo aticonfig --initial
[08:01] <soundray> seamus7: not really, but if you go through 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and set the ati driver, and accept the defaults for everything else after a quick sanity check, you should be okay after that.
[08:02] <Mattias> bauer77: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   check so the 3d card driver is fglrx
[08:02] <ralinki> Hi all, i need help on a very strange problem

[08:03] <tabman> I mean I have the terminal open
[08:03] <soundray> ralinki: first thing to check is the physical connection. Powered hub lost power?
[08:03] <soundray> !grub | tabman
[08:03] <ubotu> tabman: 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

[08:05] <Kajin> Guys, I'm trying to compile the kernel module for my nVidia video card, but it fails after reaching 100% and the nvidia-installer.log says something about 'Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-28/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions'..
[08:06] <soundray> ralinki: is it just the one device? Or do you have several that  don't work?
[08:06] <Mattias> bauer77: in any of the Device sections, identifier might be the name of your card or something
[08:06] <ralinki> they work on the windows computer
[08:06] <ralinki> several sir
[08:06] <SpeS> hi
[08:06] <Mattias> bauer77: usually above Screen
[08:06] <shoumik> heloo can anyone help me w/ my problem....
[08:06] <Mattias> bauer77: Section "Screen"  above that you can see your 3d card
[08:06] <fimp> soundray: it doesnt seem to work. I have tried relogging
[08:06] <seamus7> shoumik: have you looked here http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod
[08:06] <gravemin1> if I edit menu.lst, do I have to run "update-grub" or something?
[08:06] <SpeS> is it possible to activate XGL or AIGLX with Compiz from the Edgy live DVD?
[08:06] <shoumik> no...
[08:06] <Mattias> gravemin1: not really
[08:06] <SpeS> no?
[08:06] <SpeS> :(
[08:07] <soundray> gravemin1: it depends on what you've changed
[08:07] <Mattias> SpeS: just install beryl ;)
[08:07] <gravemin1> mattias: what does update grub do then?
[08:07] <bobofett> /nickserv register 1067wjfkfm bobofett@yahoo.com
[08:07] <Mattias> gravemin1: no idea ^_^ i didnt use it after updating menu.lst
[08:07] <SpeS> Mattias, I mean, but from the LIVE dvd? is it possible to run it?
[08:07] <gravemin1> I just wanted to change the default boot
[08:07] <soundray> gravemin1: update-grub mainly updates your kernel lines with the settings you've made in #kopt= and friends
[08:07] <Mattias> SpeS: ah dunno that, just switched from gentoo -> ubuntu today ( i hate compile time )
[08:07] <Mariyo> how do I check memory statistics? in commando based
[08:08] <ralinki> ok, anyone can help me out with this issue
[08:08] <SpeS> Mattias, I have the "cube" on my debian, but wanted to try it live in ubuntu...
[08:08] <SpeS> don't know if that's possible
[08:08] <SpeS> ?
[08:08] <gracamac> how would i go about restarting the sound server in ubuntu without a reboot, is it possible?
[08:08] <ralinki> it was working 1 hour ago
[08:08] <soundray> ralinki: is it just the one device? Or do you have several that  don't work?
[08:08] <gravemin1> soundray: so you only need to use it if you mess with #kopt=? I don't even know what that is
[08:08] <ralinki> soundray several

[08:22] <IcemanV9> i wonder if kvm will be backported to dapper (since it is LTS)??
[08:22] <jahid> hi, can anyone tell, how can i enable my firefox to open pdf file in the same window?
[08:23] <soundray> IcemanV9: what's kvm?
[08:23] <IcemanV9> soundray: kernel virtual machine
[08:23] <IcemanV9> !kvm
[08:23] <bthornton> Linux is refusing to boot on my laptop; it reboots during startup with a message from the kernel saying the CPU is too hot.  Anyone know what a "normal" operating range should be for an AMD Turion64 3700+ ?
[08:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kvm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:24] <soundray> IcemanV9: no, kernel features will not be backported
[08:24] <soundray> IcemanV9: unless security-relevant
[08:24] <yuotdd> Hi
[08:24] <bthornton> I've got the laptop monitoring temps in Windows right now, and it appears to be running at 124-127 degrees Fahrenheit just sitting there at 0.0% CPU load...
[08:24] <yuotdd> I am new to Linux and I can't get Java installed
[08:24] <bthornton> that too hot?
[08:25] <soundray> bthornton: no
[08:25] <IcemanV9> soundray: that IS too bad :/
[08:25] <bthornton> didn't think so; thanks
[08:25] <yuotdd> wow you guys aren't very helpful
[08:25] <soundray> bthornton: the readout on Linux is probably wrong
[08:25] <soundray> yuotdd: I missed your question
[08:25] <yuotdd> cheers
[08:25] <soundray> !java | yuotdd
[08:25] <ubotu> yuotdd: 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
[08:25] <bthornton> soundray: well this is a new problem--this thing has been running Linux for over a year now, but just decided to start doing this
[08:26] <yuotdd> Ah, thanks
[08:26] <soundray> bthornton: oh, strange
[08:26] <yuotdd> also, does anyone know of a good multi track recorder (with cool effects) other than audacity?
[08:26] <bthornton> feels like there's an obstruction at the fan outlet...
[08:26] <yuotdd> I am a singer/songwriter/guitarist
[08:27] <bthornton> 'cause the fan is running full speed but I don't feel very much hot air
[08:27] <bauer77> I am a famous rockstar that cant get his ATI card installed properly...hehe
[08:27] <soundray> bthornton: okay, maybe it is dust, then
[08:27] <bthornton> methinks.
[08:27] <bthornton> now I gotta decide if/how to crack this thing open to clean it
[08:27] <bauer77> I know I am doing everything properly as directed, but it keeps showing me MESA  drivers.
[08:28] <bauer77> do I have to comment something out?
[08:28] <Jocke> When I shall pick a file to upload in Firefox, and I go to "Desktop" in that file-chooser, then firefox crashes. But not in error mode thing...
[08:28] <Jocke> Weird...
[08:28] <Eleaf> Lol, firefox crashes a lot in edgy.
[08:28] <yuotdd> Cool, thanks. I hope this works
[08:28] <bobby_> I have edgy and it never crashed on me
[08:28] <IcemanV9> bauer77: i am sure someone told you earlier about glxinfo | grep rendering ? if it said "yes", then you're all set
[08:28] <slv> yuotdd: ardour
[08:29] <slv> with LADSPA plugins
[08:29] <bauer77> IcemanV9: They did but it doesnt :-(
[08:29] <slv> yuotdd: see #ubuntustudio
[08:29] <Eleaf> bobby_, I had about 3 others say firefox crashes a few times a day for them in edgy.
[08:29] <yuotdd> No one knows any good programs for recording/mixing?
[08:29] <slv> yuotdd: ardour
[08:29] <slv> yuotdd: also, see the channel #ubuntustudio
[08:29] <yuotdd> Cool thanks
[08:30] <IcemanV9> bauer77: which driver do you use in xorg.conf? ati? radeon? fglrx? (mine is fglrx)
[08:30] <bauer77> where do I check that, I feel like its not recognizing my card properly
[08:31] <Marupa> is there a way to cat a /dev/input device without having to sudo?
[08:31] <Eleaf> slv, ardour uses jack
[08:31] <Eleaf> Which is very hard to setup and doesn't work too well with ubuntu.
[08:31] <orbital04> Hi, I just recently installed a bunch of upgrade packages for my Dapper distro and samba doesn't seem to work anymore:( Any suggestions out there?
[08:31] <bauer77> IcemanV9: Under Device it just finds Generic Video Card
[08:31] <khronus> lo all, having trouble isntalling flash here
[08:31] <IcemanV9> bauer77: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[08:31] <Mattias> bauer77: did it show fglrx as driver?
[08:31] <Mattias> bauer77: i mean in xorg.conf
[08:32] <khronus> saying network probs/upstream changges, any ideas?
[08:32] <Marupa> orbital04, make sure you're either using an IP or have the machine name in your hosts.
[08:32] <slv> Eleaf: what's wrong with jack
[08:32] <atomiku> Hmm... I cant seem to install this theme: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/28688856/ tried dragging on the zip, and other files... still not working
[08:32] <atomiku> any ideas?
[08:32] <bauer77> Iceman ATI Proprietary Driver
[08:32] <Eleaf> slv, it meshes horribly with ubuntu.
[08:32] <jussi01> I just killed synaptic - tried to install a dodgy .deb and it didntwork now i get: E: The package hot-babe needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[08:32] <jussi01> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. how do i fix it?
[08:32] <Eleaf> slv, if you use jack, you can't use any of the other programs that use alsa.
[08:32] <Eleaf> that's what makes the sound scene so bad in ubuntu.
[08:32] <dyrne> orbital04: you might sudo dpkg-reconfigure smbfs    and smbclient first of all. might fix it
[08:32] <Eleaf> in linux.
[08:32] <bauer77> driver it also shows vesa and fglrx
[08:33] <slv> Eleaf: i think jack is the BEST thing about linux audio
[08:33] <Marupa> jussi01, apt-get autoremove
[08:33] <Eleaf> slv, how can you use a jack program and an alsa program together?
[08:33] <slv> Eleaf: if you're running jack why do you need other programs?
[08:33] <Mattias> atomiku: i don't know about that, but i'd give beryl a try for real eyecandy ^_^
[08:33] <Eleaf> It complains it can't use the sound card.
[08:33] <orbital04> machine name of what? My show network servers doesn't detect anything on the lan and there are no samba log files since the upgrade...
[08:33] <Eleaf> slv, sometimes you need an audio player?
[08:33] <soundray> yuotdd: still here?
[08:33] <slv> Eleaf: use programs that support jack, most do now
[08:33] <atomiku> Mattias: Oh? Explain :D
[08:33] <Eleaf> slv, or all the other audio editing apps that don't use jack.
[08:33] <slv> Eleaf: well don't listen to mp3s while you're mixing
[08:33] <Marupa> orbital04, as in //tower/etc/etc/  or whatever.  Whatever your samba share is 'named' on the network.
[08:33] <Eleaf> slv, well you have to quit jack and then close all your editing programs.
[08:33] <Eleaf> slv, it seems like less and less programs coming out are using jack.
[08:33] <slv> Eleaf: plus, compiling a realtime kernel makes jack so much better
[08:34] <Mattias> atomiku: i noticed it isnt in the repos for ubuntu, which 3d card you using?
[08:34] <Lucidius> does anyone here know how to charge yourself up so when you touch a mobo you short it out
[08:34] <jussi01> Marupa: E: The package hot-babe needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[08:34] <IcemanV9> bauer77: ah. two different drivers. need to comment out vesa.
[08:34] <Mattias> atomiku: its 3d and transaprancy stuff ^_^ real nice eye candy and 3d desktop
[08:34] <Eleaf> slv, will you join #ubuntu-offtopic?
[08:34] <Eleaf> jack just confuses me with some things
[08:34] <bauer77> is that the problem :-)
[08:34] <Marupa> jussi01, try apt-get remove hot-babe
[08:34] <AWOSLappy> Okay so I have these fonts.  And they don't work in ANY application except OpenOffice.  They are standard TrueType format and have worked on this laptop before.  I have attempted to use them in KWord and AbiWord to no avail.  I have run sudo fc-cache twice, even once with the --force switch.
[08:34] <atomiku> Mattias: geforce3
[08:34] <Lucidius> i need to show my compy class
[08:34] <Lucidius> they dont believe me
[08:34] <yuotdd> okay, now here is a tricky question
[08:35] <AngryElf_> what are the chances that a BCM43XX wireless card will work out of the box with Fiesty?
[08:35] <IcemanV9> bauer77: yeah. just comment out vesa. so X11 knows it is fglrx. :)
[08:35] <Lucidius> and they fiddle with all of the hardware without anti static straps
[08:35] <babo> when I'm using ubuntu it's really annoying. Tool tips just pop up, my cursor thingy changes places. It's like I have a sticky shift key or something. Does anyone know what I'm talking about ?
[08:35] <Marupa> Any ideas on how to cat a /dev device without having to sudo?  Trying to get my tablet working properly.
[08:35] <Lucidius> and we have a nylon carpet inthe room
[08:35] <jussi01> Marupa: same
[08:35] <AWOSLappy> AngryElf_ not good.  BCM43xx can *NEVER* work out of the box with Linux.
[08:35] <Lucidius> so a bunch of hardware has bitten the dust
[08:35] <babo> I'm writing on one line, and then all of a sudden the caret is on a line three lines up ...
[08:35] <Marupa> jussi01, not sure then.
[08:35] <orbital04>   I'll try the reconfigure....thanks!
[08:35] <ChaosEddie> Lucidius: uhhh
[08:35] <ChaosEddie> just stick your hand in
[08:36] <AWOSLappy> AngryElf_ you have to apt-get the firmware and choose which one and install it...and then at least for me it's all for nothing.
[08:36] <ChaosEddie> that's what i di
[08:36] <ChaosEddie> did
[08:36] <bauer77> IcemanV
[08:36] <Mattias> atomiku: dunno about performance, but you could check if its doable with that card, http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_AIGLX
[08:36] <Lucidius> i have touched the chipset a few times
[08:36] <jussi01> where does synaptic keep its deb files that it downloads
[08:36] <Lucidius> but i guess i dont have enough charge
[08:36] <bauer77> sorry where do I comment that out at, I dont see it in xorg.cong
[08:36] <Lucidius> i have a 386 for the example
[08:36] <bthornton> babo: what arch?
[08:36] <yuotdd> I have a netgear wireless adapter and I have no idea  how to install it
[08:36] <bthornton> babo: i386 or x86_64
[08:36] <bthornton> ?
[08:36] <AWOSLappy> babo: laptop?  is your touchpad too sensitive?
[08:36] <dyrne> jussi01: /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:37] <bauer77> I think I got it hold on
[08:37] <IcemanV9> bauer77: can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[08:37] <AngryElf_> AWOSLappy: why never, isn't the bcm43xx projet suppose to be working on an open driver?
[08:37] <IcemanV9> !paste
[08:37] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:37] <Lucidius> is there any way i can ake it guaranteed?
[08:37] <johan_> hola
[08:37] <ChaosEddie> Lucidius: when i did it i was in my socks on a carpeted floor
[08:37] <johan_> hi
[08:37] <AWOSLappy> AngryElf_ I don't really know.  prolly.  I just gave up on wireless+Linux
[08:37] <Lucidius> hmm
[08:37] <soundray> Lucidius, ChaosEddie: can you join #ubuntu-offtopic -- I'll chip in over there.
[08:37] <Lucidius> ok

[08:38] <Marupa> atomiku, I'm running it on gnome just fine.
[08:38] <Mattias> atomiku: im on gnome
[08:38] <babo> AWOSLappy, do you know how I can check that ?
[08:38] <AngryElf_> AWOSLappy: it works, i've managed it at least once, i then tend to contine screwing with it and break it
[08:38] <IcemanV9> atomiku: yes, it can
[08:39] <atomiku> okay
[08:39] <atomiku> its asking for "kde-config"
[08:39] <babo> bthornton, k thanks anyway ...
[08:39] <bthornton> babo: sounds almost like an issue I was having on my 64-bit machines, but only occured with 64-bit OS
[08:39] <atomiku> configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
[08:39] <atomiku> Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.
[08:39] <AWOSLappy> AngryElf_ haha :)
[08:39] <atomiku> maybe I downloaded the wrong tar?
[08:39] <yuotdd> Does this download of the java.sre or whatever normally take forever and day?
[08:39] <bauer77> IcemanV9:  That didnt work, when I do a fglrxinfo it keeps finding these mesa drivers
[08:39] <FatherTyme> Has anyone attempted a Dapper PXE install on a Dell PowerEdge?
[08:39] <atomiku> http://www.beryl-project.org/releases.php <-- which one do I get? O_o
[08:39] <FatherTyme> I'm having difficulty getting it to detect the network interface.
[08:39] <AWOSLappy> babo: no.  I only use KDE I have no clue where the settings would be in GNOME.  Sorry.
[08:39] <khronus> anyione ablke to help me get flash working ?
[08:40] <babo> AWOSLappy, k np
[08:40] <khronus> i have tried all things i can see in the documentation
[08:40] <Mattias> atomiku: just follow the guide i sent, it explains step by step and adds a repo for beryl
[08:40] <atomiku> What guide? ^_^
[08:40] <AWOSLappy> Okay so I have these fonts.  And they don't work in ANY application except OpenOffice.  They are standard TrueType format and have worked on this laptop before.  I have attempted to use them in KWord and AbiWord to no avail.  I have run sudo fc-cache twice, even once with the --force switch.  I have restarted numerous times.  I have even gone to the trouble of installing extra applications that use both Qt and GTK and they don't work either.  ONLY
[08:40] <AWOSLappy>  and the font files are valid...I even re-downloaded them.
[08:40] <AngryElf_> AWOSLappy: never with a GUI manager though, always with iwconfig/iwlist etc
[08:40] <AWOSLappy> AngryElf_ right.  :)

[08:43] <noodles12> guys i have a huge problem. just randomly now wheni sign in at the login screen, the screen blinks and it returns me back to the login screen. i can't get in to ubuntu. what do i do?
[08:43] <x1alpha> Hello guys, i installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, however now many applications such as synaptic still have the gnome look, is it possible to change that ?
[08:44] <Mattias> bauer77: as IcemanV9 said, http://pastie.caboo.se   post your xorg.conf there, then i can fix it for you easier ^_^
[08:44] <HymnToLife> x1alpha, GTK apps have the GTK look, that's normal
[08:44] <AWOSLappy> x1alpha: KDE uses Adept, not synaptic.
[08:44] <HymnToLife> there are GTK themes that will let you have KDE look, though
[08:44] <AWOSLappy> x1alpha: If you want to have the KDE look, you need to use KDE apps :)  maybe check #kubuntu for more info.
[08:44] <POVaddct> noodles12: does this only happen when you log in X? can you log in on the text console?
[08:44] <HymnToLife> AWOSLappy, so what if I use Synaptic in KDE ?
[08:45] <noodles12> POVaddct: havnt't tried that yet.
[08:45] <x1alpha> thanks, wanted to taste kde :)
[08:45] <AWOSLappy> HymnToLife it will look like an icky GTK app.  yes /me doesn't like GTK.
[08:45] <bauer77> http://pastie.caboo.se/40885
[08:45] <Mattias> checking
[08:46] <hossasaur> hey, i'm having problems with wpa authentication
[08:46] <hossasaur> i installed wpa supplicant, and it supposedly works with my wifi card
[08:46] <crusoe_> Trying to get samba working.  Authentication onto the shares work.  But guest log on does not.  Here is my smb.conf http://www.pastebin.ca/359362
[08:46] <x1alpha> i only have to get beryl word with kde now :P
[08:46] <rider> hi all
[08:46] <hossasaur> using wifi-radar, i attempt to log onto my wireless network, which has wpa encryption
[08:46] <hossasaur> it asks for a driver
[08:46] <hossasaur> i put in "wpasupplicant"
[08:46] <hossasaur> is that correct?
[08:46] <hossasaur> or the root of my problems?
[08:47] <Mattias> bauer77: seems to be repeated entries of the driver ^_^ maybe we can clean some up
[08:47] <jussi01> !enter | hossasaur
[08:47] <ubotu> hossasaur: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:47] <hossasaur> jussi01: sorry
[08:48] <POVaddct> hossasaur: AFAIK wifi-radar cannot set up wpa. have you tried running wpa_supplicant from a terminal just to make sure it is not a wpa_supplicant/driver problem?
[08:48] <hossasaur> POVaddct: i'm not sure how to
[08:48] <cc2k> how can i restart apache in ubunutu? does any1 know?

[08:53] <Red-Sox> hi Arturex
[08:53] <Red-Sox> o.O
[08:53] <Mattias> bauer77: http://pastie.caboo.se/40888
[08:53] <Mattias> bauer77: try that
[08:53] <Anton99> HOW i can defragment my ext3 partition in ubuntu?
[08:53] <Rootsz> Sorry I need some information somebody can help me ?
[08:53] <thunder> dns veroos.es
[08:53] <thunder> ups perdon
[08:53] <Mattias> bauer77: click the line numbers to remove them, then copy all text like usual
[08:54] <dyrne> khronus: then the command tar xfvz file.tar.gz   that will extract the files. usually and it this case it will it uncompresses them to a directory  just cd directoryname   then ls to see the files then sudo mv file /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[08:54] <secureboot_> anyone know how to modify the rules file in an ubuntu kernel source so that only i386 is built?
[08:54] <kaligula> hi, how to setup an eicon diva pci isdn card with edgy?
[08:54] <khronus>  what does the command: sudo mv /usr/.... do ?
[08:55] <dyrne> khronus: if the plugin will work all that is involved really is just dropping it in the plugin directory so firefox uses it
[08:55] <cheeseboy16> is it possible to make a grub cd that automatically configures itself?
[08:55] <khronus> ah ok dryne
[08:55] <Rootsz> hello ?
[08:55] <atomiku> Hmm... I cant seem to install this theme: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/28688856/ tried dragging on the zip, and other files... still not working
[08:55] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: "Maybe".  Do you see the debian rules file?
[08:56] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: sure
[08:56] <theblue> Wow, 1055 people!
[08:56] <Nergar> hello!!!
[08:56] <theblue> 1056 people, that is.
[08:56] <theblue> 1057!
[08:56] <Nergar> hello!!!
[08:56] <ChaosEddie> hi Rootsz. what's good?
[08:56] <theblue> Hi Nergar.
[08:56] <secureboot_>  @for arch in i386 amd64 ia64 hppa powerpc sparc; do         debian/bin/oldconfig $$arch;
[08:56] <Nergar> hi theblue
[08:56] <ChaosEddie> or if you're in the room, i can assume something is broken, so what's bad
[08:56] <Nergar> :P
[08:56] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: that's the only i386 mention i see
[08:56] <khronus> dryne, after extracting it creates several files, flashplayer9/linux, /readme, /flashplayer-installer, / libflashplayer.so, /flashplayer.xpt
[08:56] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: and that doesn't seem to do any actual building
[08:56] <aZu> hello!
[08:56] <aZu> :)
[08:56] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: I think what you need to do is change the binary-arch section to only include that,
[08:57] <cheeseboy16> is it possible to make a grub cd that automatically configures itself?
[08:57] <ChaosEddie> cheeseboy16: superGRUB
[08:57] <Rootsz> I whant make a sever http and a router whit a linux box did ubuntu sever is ok for me
[08:57] <ChaosEddie> is all you need to know
[08:57] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: binary-arch section os what?
[08:57] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: Are you making a package out of this or trying to do it raw?
[08:57] <Nergar> where can i get supergrub!!!
[08:57] <ChaosEddie> !supergrub
[08:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about supergrub - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:57] <Nergar> D:
[08:57] <dyrne> khronus: you want the .so file  the other stuff is just readme and installer that does the same thing as mv
[08:57] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: trying to make .deb and .udebs out of it, to build a custom CD
[08:58] <cheeseboy16> ?
[08:58] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: ah, good
[08:58] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: currently runnign dpkg-buildpackage, which is taking forever on a fast machine
[08:58] <dyrne> khronus: mv = move
[08:58] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: Untarring my source to take a look, a sec
[08:58] <secureboot_> tonyyarusso: way, way longer than a normal kernel build
[08:58] <ChaosEddie> sorry, i cant help i have to go eat. supergrub ftw!
[08:58] <aZu> I'm trying to install xournal but when i did ./configure it said i was missing packages, funny thing is that i have most of the packages that it said i didn't have...even with the right versions
[08:58] <elias_> Im trying to install ubuntu on my other computer. I start the "start and install ubuntu" option from the disc, but when its finished loading the screen turns black. Any tips?
[08:58] <khronus> bbryne and sudo = ? superuser?
[08:59] <Nergar> well now to some serious stuff, i need help. Every time i close my laptop lid, i can't get the image back!
[08:59] <cc2k> how to remove the whole dir witour having to delte the items in subfolders first?
[09:00] <sodoku> hi, is there a possibility to easily identify my mainboard? i can't read anything on the mainboard itself
[09:00] <HymnToLife> cc2k, -f flag to rm
[09:00] <HymnToLife> use with care and think before you type
[09:00] <cc2k> ty HymnToLife
[09:00] <cc2k> cus?
[09:00] <Nergar> anyone?
[09:00] <HymnToLife> cus it removes _everything_ in the dir
[09:00] <khronus> bryne, i did that but it did notwork :(
[09:01] <HymnToLife> so make sure there's nothing you don't want to remove in it
[09:01] <cc2k> well need to reinstall the stuff anyway so np to that ^^:)
[09:01] <Nergar> i really depend on closing my laptop lid to save battery at school
[09:01] <aZu> :/
[09:01] <furryballs> cc2k: Also: I use -rf which mean force and recursive.
[09:01] <bobofett> cc2k just run pwd first and make very sure you are in the right dir before you use the -f switch
[09:01] <cc2k> -R= folders+subfolders isnt?
[09:01] <aZu> I'm trying to install xournal but when i did ./configure it said i was missing packages, funny thing is that i have most of the packages that it said i didn't have...even with the right versions
[09:01] <bobofett> yeah and -R gets all subfolders
[09:02] <cc2k> whats pwd??
[09:02] <aZu> password
[09:02] <cc2k> ah ^^
[09:02] <bobofett> -R = recursive -f = force
[09:02] <Nergar> ...
[09:02] <aZu> lol
[09:02] <bobofett> no it's lists the dir you are in
[09:02] <cc2k> thx bobo and furryballs and HymnToLife
[09:02] <shadwan> Hey, everybody. I'm using beryl with xgl and can't find a setting to stop the screen going black after about 5 or 10 mins of inactivity.I've tried power management and screensaver in preferences. Does anyone know of anything else i can try?
[09:02] <elias_> Im trying to install ubuntu on my other computer. I start the "start and install ubuntu" option from the disc, but when its finished loading the screen turns black. Ive also tried the safe graphic mode. Any tips?
[09:02] <POVaddct> pwd is "print working directory"
[09:02] <furryballs> cc2k: If you're not wanting to remove everything in dir don't use -r.
[09:03] <bobofett> if you type pwd at the command line it tells you what dir you are in so you make sure you are not deleting the wrong stuff...or just give the whole path to make sure.
[09:03] <HymnToLife> shadwan, support for beryl in #ubuntu-effects please
[09:03] <bobofett> np cc2k
[09:03] <aZu> elias perhaps your video isn't supported?
[09:03] <cc2k> i would give thw hole path anyway ^^:)
[09:03] <Flare183> ok you all beryl has messed up my computer
[09:03] <elias_> aZu, what do you mean? gfx card?
k thx l8r

[09:04] <bobofett> well only if you are really sure youw ant to do that cc2k.

[09:04] <aZu> :/
[09:04] <bobofett> are you sure it's not a dir under www?
[09:04] <POVaddct> Raab: airodump-ng (part of aircrack-ng). or simply "iwlist <yourwlaninterface> scan"
[09:04] <cc2k> what u mean dir under www?
[09:04] <elias_> aZu, got any list of supported/not supported cards?
[09:04] <Mattias> bauer77: just copy over the old xorg.conf file, then restart xorg
[09:05] <MybMath> hlo all
[09:05] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: perhaps change binary-arch to i386 in rules instead of check whatever.
[09:05] <MybMath> wer hier to spred teh eids
[09:05] <bobofett> are you sure you want to remove the www dir?
[09:05] <cc2k> in www is all my stuff from the site, but i made a mistake and coudnt fix it so need to do a reinstall
[09:05] <aZu> the card you have is a little recent
[09:05] <hedegaard> Im trying to burn a DVD - but it keeps saying insert blank disc - I know that it's a blank disc, anything i should check ?
[09:05] <MybPwnd> u awl hev teh aids now
[09:05] <bobofett> ahh ok well have at it...that will do it...but are you trying to reinstall apache?
[09:05] <tonyyarusso> cc2k: what sort of mistake requires a reinstall?
[09:06] <faithless> hello how can i find zoom usb modem's driver for ubuntu?
[09:06] <aZu> try an older gfx card
[09:06] <cc2k> joomla+phpbb  went oke, but then needed some added and now the db was f** up :)
[09:06] <bobofett> Sounds like something else is up that deleting www will not fix.
[09:06] <IcemanV9> hedegaard: which app do u use to burn iso?
[09:06] <jshriver> greetings
[09:06] <tonyyarusso> faithless: linmodems.org may be helpful
[09:06] <cc2k> joomla+phpbb bridge it was evenm
[09:06] <faithless> thank you
[09:07] <jshriver> Anyone know how to setup a nVidia card so you can use the S-video out as a second monitor?
[09:07] <hedegaard> just the burn:/// location .. it's not an iso it just various files
[09:07] <bobofett> Well if it's a DB problem...might be best to try to solve the db problem and not delet the whole www dir...ha
[09:07] <cc2k> for me its probbly easier to reinstall ^^
[09:08] <tonyyarusso> secureboot_: I doubt changing your /var/www will have any effect on a database anywhere
[09:08] <cc2k> and already del, all the databases so no way back ^^:)
[09:08] <chill> I need to do an install of 6.10 in either command line or while the HDD is attached thru usb.  any takers?
[09:08] <thor_> Does anyone know what that means: "Couldn't activate plugin dbus" ?????????????
[09:08] <Nergar> Every time i close my laptop lid, i can't get to power back on!!!
[09:08] <thor_> when i start beryl-manager
[09:08] <IcemanV9> hedegaard: oh. ur using nautilus. dunno about that one. :/
[09:08] <bobofett> Well you still don't really need to blow away www I don't think...but more power to you...I would just try to reinstall and see what happens.
[09:08] <aZu> nergar

[09:09] <hedegaard> IcemanV9, oki - it seems to recon. the drive okay and all I'll look for newer drivers :) thanks for you help anyways...
[09:09] <tabman> I installed ubuntu then I installed windows, grub is gone, I followed the link here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows to overwrite the windows bootloader and install grub but grub is not appearing at startup
[09:09] <cc2k> but with the reintsall i might leave files that where added there, and causes the rpoblems      doesnt it?
[09:09] <Dextorion> hey. I have this .class file that i want to use in a project. How should i import it?

[09:10] <bobofett> thoes are just web files.
[09:10] <Nergar> Every time i close my laptop lid, i can't get it to power back on D:
[09:10] <khronus> the first instructions you gave said /usr/share and the corercto nes u gave out 2nd time were /usr/lib
[09:10] <khronus> :)
[09:10] <cc2k> so cus the datebase is gone, they wont work u mean?
[09:10] <Dextorion> I've tried to just import it as filesystem.  Both into the bin folder, and into my src folder (i hav eclipse setup so source goes to /src, and binarys goes to /bin)
[09:10] <miranda82> does anyone here know, how to make the multimedia keys, control Headphone, instead of Master? MUTE/UP/DOWN Ih i choose it in the properties of the applet, does not work...
[09:10] <Mattias> Nergar: which 3d card? sounds like hibernation problems
[09:10] <dyrne> khronus: congrats :)
[09:10] <Mattias> Nergar: or something similair :P
[09:11] <khronus> ty bryne :)
[09:11] <bobofett> I guess I'm fuzzy on exactly what you are trying to do cc2k...

[09:14] <Nergar> aZu, where can i find about my GFX card
[09:15] <aZu> ...
[09:15] <aZu> you don't know what your gfx card is?
[09:15] <Mattias> bauer77: oh, what happend?
[09:15] <BigMac> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:15] <bauer77> just too me back to like 24 bit default drivers
[09:16] <tabman> guys guys help me out in this small problem I installed windows after ubuntu, my grub is lost, I installed it but its not coming at the startup
[09:16] <BigMac> WHen they say put contents of each cd in a directory, do you put all of them in one directory or each disk in a new folder? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:16] <Nergar> aZu, i think it is a intel gfx card
[09:16] <Maurox> Nergar: try this options noapic noalpic pci=routeirq, edit menu.lst on grub and add it and reboot and come back to tell if it work
[09:16] <aZu> that means it's integrated
[09:16] <Mattias> bauer77: try this again, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide   do the method 1 install way
[09:16] <aZu> :/
[09:17] <aZu> either way
[09:17] <Flamekebab> is there a good program to use to capture video from a webcam?
[09:17] <aZu> i don't know why your power is being cut off
[09:17] <aZu> could have something with your drivers
[09:17] <IcemanV9> tabman: did this wiki, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, helps you at all??
[09:17] <jexdawg> hey - i desperately need help. seriously, please help me, i'll love you forever. someone in #winehq was trying to help me fix my mouse and got me to edit my xorg.conf file and change my input device from its default to "evdev" and i saved xorg.conf. now, when i stat up ubuntu it won't fully start and tells me i have a problem with my x.org server or something (my graphical interface). right now i am booting from my ubuntu liveboot cd. i n
[09:17] <Nergar> Mattias, i installed 915res i still try noapic noalpic pci=routeirq???
[09:18] <aalhamad> how do i installl a .bin file in ubuntu?
[09:18] <Mattias> Nergar: yeah, you can. if it doesnt work its always revertable
[09:18] <atomiku> See that menu in the bottom left? how could I make a menu like that ?http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/036/a/8/Graphite_Suite_2_0_by_Lokheed.png
[09:18] <Marsmensch> hi where to get herd 4
[09:18] <bauer77> Mattias: Is it possible that its installed properly but just shows direct rendering as showing no???
[09:18] <khronus> hi jexdawg
[09:18] <khronus> well i aint no pro but maybe return to original setting first
[09:18] <jexdawg> hi khronus
[09:18] <Mattias> bauer77: if its using the drivers it should show direct rendering as yes
[09:18] <unop> aalhamad,  simply execute it -- chmod a+x file.bin; sudo file.bin
[09:18] <khronus> so you can get X starting
[09:18] <BigMac> WHen they say put contents of each cd in a directory, do you put all of them in one directory or each disk in a new folder? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:18] <cc2k> bobofett: u got the pm?
[09:18] <aalhamad> thanks
[09:19] <jexdawg> thats what i want to do. how do i do that?
[09:19] <Nergar> Mattias, where do i type noapic noalpic pci=routeirq??
[09:19] <Mattias> bauer77: its fglrxinfo that says no right?
[09:19] <bobofett> yeah cc2k but can't respond...have to register nick.
[09:19] <bauer77> yes
[09:19] <cc2k> ah k hehe ^^
[09:19] <tabman> comeone guys its the 3rd time I'm asking I need help
[09:19] <cc2k> its easy to do ;)
[09:19] <thor_> Does anyone know what that means: "Couldn't activate plugin dbus" when i start beryl-manager?????????????
[09:19] <elias_> aZu, i just tried my other dvd now. First i tried the i386 version, the amd64 version worked :>
[09:19] <cc2k> but u get the point now?:)
[09:20] <aZu> ...
[09:20] <Mattias> Nergar: Maurox was the one posting that. ask him for more info on exactly where to put it in menu.lst ^_^
[09:20] <bauer77> but I installed the ati proprietary driver Step 2
[09:20] <bobofett> yeah I do...seems like blowing away the www still not the solution...the db was not stored in www was it?
[09:20] <Flamekebab> is there a good program to use to capture video from a webcam?
[09:20] <Nergar> oh, lol
[09:20] <IcemanV9> tabman: come on, did this wiki, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows, helps you at all??
[09:20] <jexdawg> so khronus, how do i reset xorg.conf to default from console
[09:20] <Nergar> Maurox, where do i put noapic noalpic pci=routeirq??
[09:20] <aZu> elias: did you know you had an amd64?
[09:20] <bobofett> and the DB was the only thing screwing up.
[09:20] <Mattias> bauer77: ooh method 2
[09:20] <Mattias> bauer77: ill check it
[09:20] <cc2k> bobofett no.. www=only website
[09:20] <root> I need a linux desktop to use as a workstation, and for development.  Would Ubuntu be a decent choice?  And how are packages/ports handled on Ubuntu?
[09:20] <cc2k> bobofett dunno where mysql put the db in ubuntu
[09:20] <elias_> aZu, ofc I did. But ive been told that the i386 version shouldt be any problem to use
[09:21] <bauer77> Mattias: When I did step 1 before, and i got to line two, it said it was already installed
[09:21] <dyrne> BigMac: im assuming bliz just has the pak files on the other cd you need to copy over but not sure
[09:21] <aalhamad> aalhamad@aalhamad:~$ sudo /media/cdrom0/Platforms/Linux/install.bin
[09:21] <aalhamad> sudo: unable to execute /media/cdrom0/Platforms/Linux/install.bin: Permission denied
[09:21] <noodles12> how to remove a directory from command line?
[09:21] <bobofett> That's fine but the db still really shouldn't be in www.
[09:21] <khronus> well what did you delete jexdawg ?
[09:21] <aZu> there's a reason that there's a separate version for amd64 though
[09:21] <aZu> :/
[09:21] <cc2k> it isnt in the www dir
[09:21] <tabman> icemaV9: i mentioned in the beginning that I did the method in the guide but grub still doesn't appears although the installation was exactly as told in the guide
[09:21] <aalhamad> i've done sudo chmod a+x /media/cdrom0/Platforms/Linux/install.bin
[09:21] <bobofett> mysql puts it somewhere else...the jist is you should just drop that db and start the install from scratch if that's what you want to do.
[09:21] <cc2k> yeah
[09:21] <khronus> jexdawg: a case of nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and putting back what you removed
[09:21] <cc2k> thats what i wanted to do
[09:22] <Mattias> bauer77: try method 1 instead, method 2 seems to have lots of kernel stuff thats need to be compiled
[09:22] <cc2k> so u mean just overide the damn stuff?:)
[09:22] <IcemanV9> tabman: ok. misspell?
[09:22] <bobofett> but probably something that could be fixed also...but sounds like you are on the track to reinstall anyway...so I would drop the DB and reinstall all your tools and point to a new DB you create.
[09:22] <Maurox> Negar, go to /boot/grub an look for menu.lst and add it like this kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-server root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet splash.... so there you can add it those options
[09:22] <bobofett> but leave the www alone...ha
[09:22] <bauer77> I did both Mattias
[09:22] <Mattias> bauer77: did you disable fglrx in method 2?
[09:22] <bauer77> yes
[09:22] <Mattias> bauer77: then we need to redo that
[09:22] <bauer77> ok
[09:22] <cc2k> so u mean just overide the damn stuff?:) <--
[09:22] <elias_> there are loads of things thats troublesome to getting to work in amd64, so I thought ill try the i386 :|
[09:22] <Mattias> bauer77: sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common  remove fglrx from the line DISABLED_MODULES
[09:22] <IcemanV9> aalhamad: maybe you need to be in that directory to run the bin file?
[09:22] <tabman> IcemanV9: misspell as in ?
[09:23] <bobofett> If there are specific dirs in www that you want to blow away to start from scratch like joomla or phpbb or what ever that's fine...just not the whole www dir...ha
[09:23] <Mattias> bauer77: after that redo method 1 and see that everything is already installed
[09:23] <cc2k> but thats the only thing in the www dir ^^
[09:23] <ubunturules> sweet
[09:23] <IcemanV9> tabman: in menu.lst file and what did the error said?
[09:23] <bauer77> ok
[09:24] <tabman> IcemanV9: i can only get into the system through LIVE cd, you want me to do that ?
[09:24] <space_sch> hello
[09:24] <bobofett> the reinstall will overwirte any screwed up files most likely...just get rid of the db that is causing you problems and recreate it as your software that you are installing requires, and just see if it works.
[09:24] <jexdawg> i didn't delete anything - i just changed one value which destroyed everything. that value was ... uhh hold on. - for Protocol - "ExplorerPS/2" and i changed it to evdev. so i just need to nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf? is it easy to change once i've done that
[09:25] <space_sch> could you suggest me some quick repository?
[09:25] <cc2k> oke gonne do that bobofett:)
[09:25] <cc2k> thx^^
[09:25] <IcemanV9> tabman: oh yeah. that is THE way to fix it. :)
[09:25] <bobofett> if still no worky go the more drastic measure and start blowing away everything...but 99.9999% of the time you don't have to just reinstall and blow away everything...there is often a much better easier fix if you just make google your friend...ha
[09:25] <tabman> IcemanV9: I did follow the wiki and thats all what I'm saying the grub does not load at startup
[09:26] <IcemanV9> tabman: what's an error message for grub?
[09:26] <cc2k> lol, but deletying the www ditr and remake it   isnt that an easy cleanup? ^^
[09:26] <tabman> IcemanV9: no error message, windows just loads up
[09:27] <Marupa> hey, uh...I just restarted my computer, and when I tried logging back in, I got a black screen with a console with the error:  There was an error creating a child process for this terminal.
[09:27] <bauer77> Mattias: Step 2 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6132/
[09:27] <Marupa> I don't have ANY GUI, running from irssi, so links cannot help at all.
[09:27] <ChaosEddie> space_sch: what do you need?
[09:27] <bobofett> just try the reinstall first...trust me...ha
[09:27] <Mattias> bauer77: its ok ^_^
[09:27] <Mattias> bauer77: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx   is important
[09:27] <bobofett> Or even better yet research a better solution to the specific problem
[09:27] <cc2k> k :)
[09:28] <bobofett> but I think you are already past that....hahaha
[09:28] <Marupa> apparently my system is still intact, but I'm not sure what went wrong.\
[09:28] <IcemanV9> tabman: ah. ok. grub is not installed then.
[09:29] <g333k_work> hello, I need to create a repository on my pc to install ubuntu to my network pcs, I have set up the mirror and I can explore it from a browser, but when I try to specify it to the ubuntu's installer it doesnt work, any clue?
[09:29] <SilentM> Is there any chance using WINE to emulate a game (Steam games, to be specific) would be interpreted as using cheats?
[09:29] <bobofett> Kind of feel like you are in the blow it all away mode already and not much I can do to stop that...trust me I totally understand it!  I used to be there...but you get to a point where it beccomes much better to look at log files and the such and use google and irc to find specific solutions to specific problems and not just reinstalling all the time.
[09:29] <tabman> IcemanV9: what should I do ?
[09:29] <Marupa> Should I download/burn the secondary disk to reinstall ubuntu?  Or what else could I try?  I tried reinstalling gnome/ubuntu-desktop, and it didn't help.
[09:30] <bobofett> You end up saving yourself lots of pain and heartache and learn a thing or two in the process cc2k
[09:30] <cc2k> :)
[09:30] <hossasaur> i was just talking to someone about wpa_supplicant
[09:30] <bobofett> Sorry I'll stop preaching now...because I know how you feel too...ha
[09:30] <cc2k> trust me u dont kow how many times i tried to get the site done, under windows(wamp)
[09:30] <hossasaur> i set up my config file correctly, for some reason it still won't work
[09:30] <bauer77> Mattias: xorg-driver-fglrx is already the newest version.
[09:30] <hossasaur> i'll connect to my wireless network, even get an ip address, but no data will transfer
[09:31] <hossasaur> it's almost like the dns doesn't work
[09:31] <Marupa> x is working, just gnome is not.
[09:31] <dfgas> k, i installed ubuntu on my laptop that has vista installed, vista was on hda2 i installed ubuntu on hda1 and the swap is on hda3    how do i get grub to boot vista?
[09:31] <bobofett> The jist of the matter is that no matter what platform you are using you are going to have problems with it if it plugs into the wall....lesson over...ha
[09:31] <hossasaur> dfgas: you don't see an option for vista/longhorn?
[09:31] <unop> !!grub
[09:31] <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
[09:31] <dfgas> hossasaur: nope
[09:32] <dyrne> hossasaur: dig google.com   then compare the server it uses to the one shown in /etc/resolv.conf   when i sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf i see one entry like nameserver 192.168.1.1
[09:32] <cc2k> bobofett i know what u mean, but after reinstalling it like 10x and getting difrent errors and have to find 5hours every error  draisn alot from u ^^:P:)
[09:32] <Mattias> bauer77: okay, good, now check so xorg.conf file is the one i fixed up before
[09:32] <IcemanV9> tabman: i never done this specific part before, but i have fixed my grub 3x when grub spew out err message. there is section called "Using the Desktop/LiveCD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader" where you need to re-install grub (since it boots straight to Win32)

[09:36] <Vilhelms> Is it normal for running a game on a separate X display to decrease performance? I read that as a tip to increase performance but iits doing the exact opposite.
[09:36] <Tsool> Hiya folks. What determines the name/path of an external USB-disk? I have two similar Lacie-disks, one mounts as /media/usb-disk, the other as /media/LACIE. I'd like to see both mounted under the same path. Of course I realize that this is impossible if I plug them in at the same time.
[09:36] <Mattias> ernz: did you make any xmodmap? or changed xorg.conf something?
[09:37] <unop> dyrne,  hossasaur this ought to create a config (run twice) - dig ns1.sprintlink.net ns1.bt.net k.root-servers.net | perl -lne '/^\w/ and print "nameserver ", /(\d+\.\d+\S+)/
[09:37] <Marupa> Is there a way to 'fix' gnome but not totally reinstall the OS from the ubuntu supplemental disk?
[09:37] <dyrne> hossasaur: er i meant do netstat -rn or route -n
[09:37] <Mattias> ernz: your you mean shortcuts as alt+f4?
[09:37] <ernz> Mattias System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[09:37] <Mattias> ernz: ooh ^_^
[09:37] <ernz> :D
[09:37] <ernz> Mattias - It is fixable?
[09:37] <unop> cheeseboy16,  try /media/hdc1/"Documents and Settings"/<username>/desktop
[09:37] <IcemanV9> Vilhelms: it supposes to improve the performance; i tried to do it on my box, it doesn't work correctly :(
[09:38] <Mattias> ernz: ill look

[09:38] <ernz> Mattias - There should really be a reset to default button for idiots like me.
[09:38] <Vilhelms> IcemanV9, same here :(.. well the reason I want to do it is so I can run it in XGL, and I figured XGL was ruining the performance but I tried it w/o XGL and it still ran bad
[09:38] <Mattias> ernz: just redo them as they should be? not working?
[09:38] <Marupa> I really don't want to start my ubuntu install over from scratch.  Can someone help?

[09:39] <dyrne> unop: handy

[09:39] <tabman> IcemanV9: i'm running the live cd and apparently grub is installed but it won't appear when I reboot & windows will load automatically, you want me to check any files or something ?

[09:42] <hoagie> guys can anyone help with a strange network problem?

[09:43] <tabman> hoagie: no one will help you with a "strange" problem :)

[09:44] <Mattias> bauer77: does fglrxinfo still say mesa driver?
[09:44] <Tsool> A question regarding XDMCP. I'm running a computer as a home entertainment center. I don't need a gnome-environment on that one, a simple terminal is just fine (vdr doesn't need a windowed environment). On the other hand, I'd like to do a remote session into it from another  computer, using XDMCP. How should I set up the server so that it allows remote session with Gnome, but runs in...
[09:44] <Tsool> ...terminal mode itself?
[09:44] <bauer77> yes
[09:44] <tabman> IcemanV9: ?
[09:44] <Mattias> bauer77: sure you removed fglrx from disabled modules? :P
[09:44] <hossasaur> dyrne: i'm sorry, but i think you lost me
[09:44] <cchance> !!!!!!!!!!!!!How can i have port 25 not be redirected by firehol, or tinyproxy? I have a dansguardian setup with thoughs but its blocking my e-mail
[09:44] <zsolty_szasz> Can anybody help me to fix my restart problem in edgy ?
[09:44] <bauer77> yes :-)
[09:44] <hossasaur> dyrne: i tried that command, it didn't work
[09:44] <headphase> hello
[09:44] <ernz> Mattias: I managed to fix it during conversing w/ u. All I did was disable every shortcut I don't use and restarted X with CTRL ALT BKSPC - That seems to have fixed it.
[09:44] <hoagie> Ok when i boot into ubuntu I get ip address dns broadcast and all that. But when i try to load a website nothing happens, it takes like 10 secs for firefox to start looking up the page, and even then it doesn't load it
[09:44] <cheeseboy16> anyone?
[09:44] <Quintin> Tsool: Why not just use SSH?
[09:44] <IcemanV9> tabman: is there timeout in menu.lst?
[09:44] <unop> cheeseboy16,  why dont you copy that folder to your desktop?
[09:45] <tabman> IcemanV9: I just restarted the PC to check if grub appears this time, you replied so late
[09:45] <Quintin> cchance: read relevant documentation
[09:45] <cheeseboy16> cause i need acess to if from windows
[09:45] <headphase> I am having trouble installing the Intel 945 drivers to my OS
[09:45] <dyrne> unop: that script is handy but i think you could use it as the equivalent of a Keep Away sign for newbies to ubuntu ;p
[09:45] <bauer77> I am at wits end
[09:45] <cheeseboy16> it*

[09:45] <livingdaylight_> any Azureus gurus around?
[09:45] <adaptr> hoagie: you need to disable ipv6 in firefox
[09:45] <cchance> quintin, *is your name from october sky?* I can not find the documentation their is no man file

[09:46] <hoagie> yes I can ping but only once
[09:46] <mcquaid> I whiteboard type program for math would be ideal, but I don't think there is anything like that.
[09:46] <Quintin> headphase: elaborate please
[09:46] <sogen> ok thx
[09:46] <unop> cheeseboy16,  but copying is not going to copy it over .. did you want to keep a link?>
[09:46] <cheeseboy16> mkdir: invalid option -- R
[09:46] <hoagie> I tried to disable ipv6 but nothing happens
[09:46] <cheeseboy16> Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
[09:46] <Quintin> cchance: google?  no irc channel for those programs?  You might ask #squid.  no, it's my firstname.
[09:46] <cheeseboy16> im reformating windows
[09:46] <unop> dyrne,  why would it be a deterent in anyway?
[09:46] <IcemanV9> tabman: yes. i do hope that is the problem. (crossed fingers)
[09:46] <dyrne> hossasaur: do this.  sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf  anytime you get that message you need to preface with sudo to run it with admin rights
[09:46] <cheeseboy16> and need the files on my desktop
[09:46] <livingdaylight_> when i open Azureus i get error: UPnP: Mapping 'Incoming Peer Data Port (tcp/4951) failed
[09:47] <Quintin> hoagie: So you get a reply when you ping?
[09:47] <cchance> quintin, its not setup with squid
[09:47] <unop> cheeseboy16,   sudo mkdir cp -Rv /media/hdc1/"Documents and Settings"/Home/desktop ~/media/hda1/win_desktop

[09:47] <tabman> icemanv9: where is menu.lst located ?
[09:47] <Sergo> hello
[09:47] <bauer77> Mattias:  Thanks for all your help anyways...I am going to leave it alone for now
[09:47] <hoagie> a kind of
[09:47] <Quintin> tabman: /boot/grub/menu.lst by default.
[09:47] <unop> cheeseboy16,  but beware, this doesnt copy your windows' "my documents", "my videos", etc
[09:47] <hoagie> but sometimes I don't
[09:47] <cheeseboy16> mkdir: invalid option -- R
[09:47] <cheeseboy16> Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
[09:47] <IcemanV9> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:47] <Quintin> hoagie: That doesn't help me buddy.
[09:47] <hossasaur> dyrne: ok, i see a nameserver
[09:47] <hoagie> by the way this happened after my isp did an upgrade and I got a new dns
[09:47] <Segu> how is possible to change name of "Applications" "System"
[09:47] <dyrne> hossasaur: what does it say?
[09:48] <Mattias> bauer77: did you try any 3d application to see if it might work even tho it won't show?
[09:48] <Segu> on a panel menu
[09:48] <hossasaur> dyrne: search wi.rr.com
[09:48] <hossasaur> nameserver 24.94.163.100
[09:48] <hossasaur> nameserver 24.94.163.101
[09:48] <Segu> ..
[09:48] <bauer77> Like what Mattias?
[09:48] <Mattias> bauer77: try tuxracer
[09:48] <tabman> IcemanV9: should I install grub again now & then see the contens of this file or just see it right away after the live cd loads ?
[09:48] <unop> cheeseboy16, whoops,  sudo cp -Rv /media/hdc1/"Documents and Settings"/Home/desktop /media/hda1/win_desktop
[09:48] <bauer77> mm I tried that before and it seemed ok
[09:48] <Quintin> hoagie: Your ISP might suck then.  open a terminal, do sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.old && echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.2' > /etc/resolv.conf and try again
[09:48] <hoagie> look an hour before it pinged but an hour ago it also loaded some pages, now it doesn't and I didn't try to png
[09:49] <livingdaylight_> are there any azureus gurus around?
[09:49] <bauer77> just wasnt sure because is seemed as though it should say it was rendering
[09:49] <Mattias> bauer77: if that runs fine then it might be working okay
[09:49] <cheeseboy16> cp: cannot create directory `/media/hda1/win_desktop': Read-only file system
[09:49] <unop> hossasaur,  24.94.163.100 and 24.94.163.101 dont seem to work for me
[09:49] <dyrne> hossasaur: get rid of the search and both nameservers  then just do nameserver 192.168.whatever  and save the changes use the route -n command again to get the routers ip again
[09:49] <IcemanV9> tabman: just check the content of the file (as you said it is installed)
[09:49] <livingdaylight_>  when i open Azureus i get error: UPnP: Mapping 'Incoming Peer Data Port (tcp/49152) failed
[09:49] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: What is your question?  The error message says that it can't use UPnP to open a hole in your firewall.  your gateway is probably not UPnP compliant
[09:49] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: you still havne't asked a question :-\
[09:49] <unop> cheeseboy16,  please use a !pastebin and paste the contents of /etc/fstab
[09:50] <unop> !pastebin | cheeseboy16
[09:50] <ubotu> cheeseboy16: 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] <hoagie> ok I'm gonna boot to ubuntu then and try it
[09:50] <astronouth7303> something's leaking file descriptors on my system. file-nr reports 21696 FD's open ("21696 0 50241"), but iterating through /proc reveals only 1573 FD's. How do I track down the leak?
[09:50] <Mattias> bauer77: http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s971652/ati_radeon.shtml havent read it but looks promising maybe :P last option otherwise
[09:50] <cheeseboy16> ubop?
[09:50] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, well, all i can do is report the error message. I suppose the obviious question is how do i fix it so i don't get the error message. Generally error messages aren't any good are they?
[09:50] <hossasaur> dyrne: Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

[09:50] <cheeseboy16> unop*?
[09:51] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: I already told you the answer ...
[09:51] <dyrne> hossasaur: the resolv.conf file is dynamic meaning it changes all the time if you disconnect or reconnect so you might have to do that again if the problem recurrs
[09:51] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: that shouldn't stop you from downloading things anyway.  also, azureus sucks if I haven't said that yet.
[09:51] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, sorry, how do i fix it. I missed that part?
[09:51] <dyrne> hossasaur: the bottom one is your default gateway the 192.168.1.1
[09:51] <bigbang14> can any one help me with a usb-printer problem?
[09:51] <hossasaur> dyrne: ok
[09:51] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: search your buffer. :P  you probably can't 'fix' it.
[09:51] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, how dare you say that about Azureus?!
[09:51] <hossasaur> dyrne: i'm not on my wireless network right now
[09:51] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: it's trash.  use rtorrent
[09:52] <Mattias> bauer77: aah! do this too "echo fglrx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules"
[09:52] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, bittorrent is trash
[09:52] <hossasaur> dyrne: wpa_supplicant wasn'nt working for me
[09:52] <Mattias> bauer77: or maybe its already in /etc/modules
[09:52] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: you mean the 'standard' client?  yea, it stink stoo.
[09:52] <hossasaur> dyrne: it would connect me to my network, but no packets would send
[09:52] <cheeseboy16> what?
[09:52] <bigbang14> can any one help me with a usb-printer problem?
[09:52] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, Azureus was voted #1 bittorrent client in LInux Format magazine this month
[09:52] <tabman> icemanV9: it says no such file or directory, I said I installed it but now I've restarted the PC and again booted with live CD
[09:52] <Quintin> Mattias: or .. echo fglrix >> /etc/modules? :P
[09:52] <IcemanV9> hossasaur: tip: save resolv.conf in your home dir; just copy resolv.conf over to /etc/resolv.conf _after_ you connected to the Internet
[09:52] <rdarch> hey guys, i've got a toshiba satellite laptop. upto date kernel, and am trying to get the internal MMC reader working, with the new kernel it shows when theres a card put in the drive in dmesg and lspci recognises it without need of fiddling. any idea how i can figure out where to mount it from?
[09:52] <dyrne> hossasaur: this applies to any network connection you make. that file changes whenever you establish a connection
[09:52] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, rtorrent?
[09:52] <unop> cheeseboy16,  gedit /etc/resolv.conf   and use the !pastebin to show me what you have there
[09:53] <Flamekebab> Right, HDA-Intel soundcard, the mic works fine under skype but when I try and record using audacity or anything else I get a harsh ringing hiss (and if I speak loudly, I can be heard over the hiss). Suggestions?
[09:53] <dyrne> hossasaur: yeah wpa is something ive never fooled with
[09:53] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: Then they both suck.  :P  I've used pretty much everything, and utorrent and rtorrent are the best IMNSHO
[09:53] <Mattias> either works :P
[09:53] <webby> I have problem with write permission on RAID1 /dev/md0...I mounted md0 in /mnt/RAID and assign 777 permission to folder /mnt and to folder /mnt/raid but I try to write in this folder by root user and all ok, I try by a normal user and I have 'permission denied'. So, I check permission in folder /mnt and /mnt/raid and I see permission 744!! I try to reassign but I can't change 744! WHY???
[09:53] <dyrne> hossasaur: its a pain to keep cracking
[09:53] <Quintin> Flamekebab: try a different mike perhaps
[09:53] <hossasaur> dyrne: the only reason i use wpa is because i live in a house with 12 guys, we always have visitors, i thought it'd be easy for everyone if we just had a simple wpa key
[09:53] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, what is UPNP? and why is it not important if an error message comes up?
[09:53] <hossasaur> dyrne: they'll all be bitches if i switch to something in hex
[09:54] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, utorrent and rtorrent are both linux?
[09:54] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: google.com
[09:54] <cheeseboy16> http://pastebin.ca/359431
[09:54] <IcemanV9> tabman: did u mount the root to see if grub file are intacted?
[09:54] <hossasaur> dyrne: and we're surrounded by neighbors who are ridiculous with bandwidth
[09:54] <headphase> Quintin: I have tried to get a wide screen resoultion through 915 resoution and installing the intel drivers, and even modifing the xorg
[09:54] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: utorrent is win32, but works fine with WINE.  rtorrent is linux, and there is an ubuntu .deb package available from repos
[09:54] <bigbang14> can any one help me with a usb-printer problem?
[09:54] <hossasaur> dyrne: i just installed ubuntu, so i'm not sure what to do
[09:54] <unop> dyrne,  /etc/resolv.conf can be made static by 1) getting resolvconf to create it the same way always 2) enabling a hook around the dhclient script 3) chmod a-w /etc/resolv.conf
[09:54] <Quintin> headphase: laptop or desktop?
[09:54] <Flamekebab> Quintin, it's there with any mic and even with NO mic
[09:54] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, i've been trying for about a weekto download a dvd from btjunkie.org and another one and i just can't get it done
[09:54] <headphase> Quintin: laptop
[09:55] <Quintin> Flamekebab: maybe adjust the settings in audacity and alsamixer.  have you tried using front port instead of rear, or vice versa?
[09:55] <headphase> Quintin: dell inspirion e1405
[09:55] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, i don't trust wine much but i will get on the case about rtorrent and see if it helps
[09:55] <subopt> Where can i find a listing of all the packages/versions in the various flavors of ubuntu?
[09:55] <Quintin> headphase: apt-get install 915resolution
[09:55] <unop> cheeseboy16,  why did you give me /etc/resolv.conf ?? :p
[09:55] <Quintin> subopt: man dpkg
[09:55] <unop> cheeseboy16,  /etc/fstab dude .. pay attention
[09:55] <cheeseboy16> (03:53:11 PM) unop: cheeseboy16,  gedit /etc/resolv.conf   and use the !pastebin to show me what you have there
[09:56] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: it's command line only, if that matters.
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, sudo apt-get install rtorrent
[09:56] <Flamekebab> Quintin, my lappy has only two sound ports, one for headphones, one for the mic
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, hell yea!
[09:56] <unop> cheeseboy16,  ohh, errm, I apologise, my bad :p
[09:56] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: .. ?
[09:56] <headphase> Quintin: I have tried that, shoul I try again?
[09:56] <Mattias> Quintin: im new with debian systems (old gentoo user) how do i add the repo for rtorrent? :P i love rtorrent and used to use it on gentoo ^_^
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, dude, what am i gonna do at the command line?!
[09:56] <cheeseboy16> sudo: /etc/fstab: command not found
[09:56] <subopt> Quintin: i'm looking for a web resource or listing, as i'm only considering migration to Ubuntu, but haven't installed it yet.
[09:56] <cmp1988> Anyone know where I can find a walkthrough to installing Compiz/Beryl?
[09:56] <livingdaylight_> Quintin, that is shocking news
[09:56] <Mattias> cmp1988: i know for beryl :P
[09:56] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: Configure rtorrent to watch a folder, save your .torrent files in that folder, run rtorrent in a detached screen.
[09:56] <dyrne> unop: i dunno i just ended up making a sh script with $1 and $2 variables for device and essid and dhclient i dont really understand how that file is written
[09:57] <Quintin> cmp1988: ubuntuforums.org , look in the newbies section, it's a sticky post.

[09:58] <tabman> icemanv9: there is no grub directory inside /boot
[09:59] <unop> dyrne,  well, if it's a home computer, you can get away with making it read-only -- but the right way would be to implement hooks around the resolvconf/dhclient scripts .. i believe their manpages explain how

[10:03] <Flamekebab> audacity seems to be the problem to some extent
[10:03] <Quintin> livingdaylight_: you have to be registered and logged in to send PMs.
[10:03] <hjmills> raw-bin, its trying to bring up interfaces that are not plugged in - you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file as root
[10:03] <pablo2986> i have dependecy problems

[10:06] <unop> cheeseboy16,  the problem you have right now is that you are trying to copy to /media/hda1 which is a ntfs/windows partition .. ubuntu out of the box does not provide NTFS-Write access
[10:06] <hoagie> does anyone a command that flushes the cache?
[10:06] <unop> cheeseboy16,  why dont you just copy the folder to your own desktop ????
[10:06] <esaym> Quintin: can you elaborate some more on that?
[10:06] <soundray> hoagie: sync
[10:06] <unop> hjmills,  gnome-control-center

[10:07] <unop> hjmills,  never heard of tab-complete at the terminal? :p
[10:07] <raw-bin> hjmills, the thing is that I do not know before hand which interface I will use. Why does ubuntu try to configure an interface that is not plugged in anyways ? Any idea ?

[10:11] <soundray> pablo2986: okay, do "sudo aptitude install vlc" again and answer the question with 'Y' instead of q
[10:12] <livingdaylight> can anyone read me?

[10:13] <betatux> hoagie, maybe you're blocking websites ?
[10:13] <AlexC_> guys, is Ubuntuforums down?
[10:13] <hoagie> all of them?
[10:13] <esaym> Quintin: 128kb
[10:13] <koech> thx
[10:13] <Quintin> koech: This is really a dumb thing to do.  If you must, do sudo su > passwd to give root a password.
[10:13] <firecrotch> Is anyone else having problems getting updates from http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main ?
[10:13] <hoagie> I don't think so
[10:14] <steff> Quintin: i understand, but i think everytime i start ubuntu the sript starts und the server is running, but i want no autostart
[10:14] <sethk> hoagie, it's possible to block, say, port 80, which blocks all web sites
[10:14] <towsonu2003> AlexC_, seems so to me, yes
[10:14] <betatux> hoagie, do you run a firewall ?
[10:14] <koech> i want to edit the readonly Grub menu.lst
[10:14] <hoagie> no
[10:14] <AlexC_> towsonu2003: ok, thanks
[10:14] <koech> how can i make it?
[10:14] <hoagie> but I didn't block a port
[10:14] <Quintin> esaym: Ok.  it's not a disk image then.  Google for 'dos boot disk' and find an image.  I think bootdisk.com will give you something
[10:14] <firecrotch> AlexC_, looks like they're having problems with several servers
[10:14] <soundray> koech: 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst'

[10:14] <betatux> hoagie, do you use a proxy to surf the net ?
[10:15] <sethk> hoagie, didn't say you did, just said such a thing is possible
[10:15] <firecrotch> I can't get updates from security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main
[10:15] <esaym> ok thank you
[10:15] <webby> Quintin: no, chmod -R not work. The folder /mnt/raid is ok with the permission 777 until when I mount /dev/md0 (md0 is created with MDADM)
[10:15] <hoagie> Simply I got a new dns address after an isp system upgrade and since then i can't connect ...
[10:15] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: Sorry - I do not understand?
[10:15] <hoagie> no I don't use a proxy
[10:15] <AlexC_> firecrotch: I can here,

[10:16] <hoagie> yes
[10:16] <firecrotch> AlexC_: seems to me as if they're being DoS attacked

[10:16] <hoagie> em sorry no it doesn't work

[10:16] <sethk> hoagie, so it fails both by name and by number?
[10:16] <headphase> Quintin: I rebooted and I noticed that the resoultion changes twice, so somethin has to be overriding the resolution

[10:16] <sethk> hoagie, try by number.  that will establish whether the problem is dns, or something else
[10:17] <AlexC_> firecrotch: it's working again now
[10:17] <betatux> hoagie, you can test dns , open a terminal and try nslookup www.google.be
[10:17] <Quintin> hoagie: I told you to how to use a different DNS, didn't I?
[10:17] <hoagie> I think ubuntu kept the old dns and now tries to use the old one

[10:17] <koech> thx, it works...
[10:17] <koech> bye
[10:17] <sethk> hoagie, see if it works by number, that's step 1.
[10:17] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, lvm's advantages are youve got a very flexible partioning and disk usage mechanism. software raid on the other hand, gives you the benefits and downfalls of whatever raid mechanism you choose to use

[10:17] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[10:17] <hoagie> ok I have to boot back to ubuntu now
[10:18] <fxr> aww right, great, thanks soundray , appreciated..
[10:18] <Quintin> steff: look in /etc/rc.d.*  Somewhere in there will be a script or link to start mysql server.  Delete it.  This will do what you want to do.
[10:18] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: yes - the RAID options did concern me a bit. e. mirroring equalling 50% total capacity, striped less redundancy etc. I figured lvm, with it being built into the kernel, may be a more stabel solution
[10:19] <unop> steff,  Quintin - use update-rc.d to safely enable/disable services
[10:19] <Flamekebab> if the OSS capture device is /dev/dsp, what's the ALSA one?
[10:19] <sethk> gizmo_the_great1, actually, I would say that external RAID is more stable, in general.
[10:19] <sethk> gizmo_the_great1, although I haven't tried the specific thing you are using.
[10:19] <Vilhelms> I'm trying to run an 3d game in a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl but the performance is horrible if I do that, whether I'm running in Xgl or not. What could I be doing wrong? Here's a copy of the script I am executing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6137/plain/
[10:19] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, since youve got 6 disks, raid 5 is prob. a good thing for you since, the amount of disk space wasted reduces the more disks you have in the raid.
[10:19] <soundray> steff: (Quintin, unop) -- or better yet, install bum
[10:19] <soundray> !info bum | steff
[10:19] <ubotu> steff: bum: graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.7-1 (edgy), package size 80 kB, installed size 524 kB
[10:20] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: striped is *zero* redundancy.
[10:20] <unop> soundray,  errm no thanks :)
[10:20] <unop> he he
[10:20] <Quintin> It's only one server.  just deleting it is easiest.
[10:20] <soundray> unop: okay, you're special ;)
[10:20] <gizmo_the_great1> i have 4 disks - not 5.
[10:20] <vocis> XDMCP problem: my gentoo box can connect to ubuntu's gdm, and it sees the login window, but after logging in, it closes
[10:20] <unop> soundray,  it's not that, i just dont like the sound of that app
[10:20] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: indeed - this is what worries me. Very tricky to recover from data loss if a problem
[10:21] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, ack my mistake..i thought i read that you had 6 disks...
[10:21] <gizmo_the_great1> thingy: no worries :-)
[10:21] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: You mean impossible.
[10:21] <soundray> Vilhelms: interesting approach. What do you mean by "separate X display"?
[10:21] <brianski> is it just me or is security.ubuntu.com down?
[10:21] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: what is your goal with raid?
[10:21] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: well, no. Just very tricky :-)
[10:22] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: I want more space as a single volunme
[10:22] <thingy> brianski, it gets hammerred a lot...just keep retrying
[10:22] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: LVM would be better then.
[10:22] <dyrne> brianski: we banned you
[10:22] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: my single 160Gb disks, a couple are nearly full,
[10:22] <Flamekebab> if the OSS capture device is /dev/dsp, what's the ALSA one?
[10:22] <brianski> dyrne, huh?
[10:22] <Vilhelms> soundray, X :3 -ac &
[10:22] <soundray> brianski: several ubuntu sites aren't responding or are slow
[10:22] <vocis> can anyone help me please? :)
[10:22] <zgerrz> #winehq
[10:22] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: OK, thanks. Is there anything easier than the command line, or is that it?
[10:22] <Vilhelms> soundray, thats what i'm doing to start X on display 3, and then i tell it to run cedega on that display
[10:23] <brianski> thingy, "just keep retrying" sounds like the reason it gets hammered a lot :)
[10:23] <Vilhelms> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6137/plain/
[10:23] <vocis> I have an XDMCP problem: my gentoo box can connect to ubuntu's gdm, and it sees the login window, but after logging in, it closes
[10:23] <thingy> brianski, :-)
[10:23] <hoagie> ok the nslookup command worked i got a response
[10:23] <Nomikos> anyone else having trouble with apt-getting stuff from security.ubuntu.com ?
[10:23] <Quintin> gizmo_the_great1: for putting together LVM?  Maybe gparted can do it, I don't know.  I usually do it during an install and let the wizard handle it.
[10:23] <cb_> ya
[10:23] <quaal> does anyone have problems with banshee freezing ?
[10:23] <Quintin> Nomikos: I think a DDoS is going on atm
[10:23] <Nomikos> ouch
[10:23] <thingy> gizmo_the_great1, the alternative cd installation(when choosing to install a command line system) has a partitioning section which makes setting up software raid/lvm very very easy
[10:24] <elias__> There is something very wrong here with my network. I'm downloading in 3000 b/s and Im getting connect (111 Connection refused) all the time
[10:24] <thingy> swap/cd installation/installation cd
[10:24] <gizmo_the_great1> Quintin: thingy: yeah, I know. But my system is well established now, so as far as I can tell I have to use 'lvm' which has a subset of commands
[10:24] <lun>  Re: Master Kernel Thread
[10:24] <lun> Hi all, I come here again with a question:
[10:24] <lun> What are the config options related to the graphic card compiling?
[10:24] <lun> Specifically for the nvidia driver what do we need?
[10:24] <lun> From what I got from the Gentoo wiki. the framebuffer part should be disabled, i.e.
[10:24] <lun> Device->Graphic support ->Support for frame buffer devices.
[10:24] <ompaul> !enter
[10:24] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:24] <lun> I disabled them all
[10:24] <lun> I just wonder if other options may involve with the nvidia driver module installed from their official release. Because I'm experiencing some strange problems. And this problem was not here before I compiled the kernel myself. It's in this post on nv forum
[10:24] <lun> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84962
[10:24] <soundray> Vilhelms: I suggest you try terminating the original X session to see if performance returns to normal on :3 after that

[10:25] <Vilhelms> soundray, hrm... i should try that
[10:25] <steff> okay thanks a lot :) - bum looks very good
[10:25] <Quintin> lun: Install the kernel-headers package for your kernel.

[10:27] <vocis> thingy, gnome
[10:27] <francois> Quintin: I don't know if this is related to my not being able to update, or if anyone else has the same prob

[10:34] <vlt> linxeh: but how can I revert what the script (wtf ever it was) did?
[10:34] <jumburrito> i can't I don't know what the sound is I keep hearing it

[10:34] <linxeh> Nomikos: likewise; shame I bought an unsupported professional soundcard
[10:34] <jumburrito> no
[10:34] <dimeotane> can I run gparted from the partition that my edgy system is running on? or do I need to boot the live CD... I need to get more space set up 30g is running out pretty quick..

[10:35] <jumburrito> it happens every minute or so I guess
[10:35] <erUSUL> dimeotane: it is better to do it from livecd
[10:35] <jumburrito> I'd rather be hearing banana phone
[10:35] <jumburrito> atleast I'd know what it is
[10:35] <AlexC_> jumburrito: haha ... erm, I don't know what to suggest sorry
[10:35] <jumburrito> instead I get a sound like Windows XP when you connect a mouse
[10:36] <cheeseboy16> gaten, get cecedga
[10:36] <soundray> dimeotane: you can't manipulate mounted partitions in gparted. Boot from a live CD
[10:36] <AlexC_> jumburrito: like it's mounting a USB drive then dismounting then mountign again?
[10:36] <jumburrito> yes
[10:36] <jumburrito> imagine doing that every minute
[10:36] <dimeotane> ok thx again guys.. that's what I figured
[10:36] <linxeh> vlt: a scirpt, unless you ran it as root, shouldnt change the locale permanently. you cant change the locale an app is using if its already running afaik - you need to restart them, it might be you need to logout and in again too
[10:36] <dimeotane> but wasn't sure
[10:36] <AlexC_> jumburrito: do you have any USB drives or anything?
[10:36] <jumburrito> it sounds like someone is connecting and disconnecting something
[10:36] <jumburrito> no

[10:37] <AlexC_> jumburrito: Ok, in terminal type "mount"
[10:38] <jumburrito> okay
[10:38] <jumburrito> you think it's a drive mounting and unmounting?
[10:38] <vlt> linxeh: omg, KDE and all the other apps are running for 63 days now. What on earth could have changed LANG to "C" suddenly?
[10:38] <AlexC_> jumburrito: hold on ... Ubuntu shouldn't even be making a sound when things mount/unmount :P that can't be it
[10:38] <daniequy> hello. why Internet is faster in win than in ubuntu?
[10:39] <jumburrito> well I do have /proc/bus/usbfs mounted
[10:39] <AlexC_> jumburrito: yeah that's what I was thinking ... but it's playing a sound, which Ubuntu doesn't do by default
[10:39] <jumburrito> ?

[10:41] <dimeotane> I'm wanting to extend my 30g ext3 ubuntu partition... and I know I'm *supposed* to back up.. but how common is it that my system will totally get screwed up?  If there's a risk, I'm thinking maybe it's a better idea to make a second partition for storage instead of extending this one?  Any thoughts?
[10:41] <AlexC_> jumburrito: yep, I have it too

[10:41] <CaptainMorgan> how do I get javac installed? I looked in adept for it but only found javacc, which is a parser and not what Im looking for

[10:41] <LjL> soundray: no, i have nothing handy... i don't think i recall it from ubuntu specific page, in any case, i was probably reading about debian or just samba in general. i suppose samba.org
[10:41] <linxeh> unless you use IPv6 to connect ;)
[10:41] <jumburrito> i don't know where I could go to find the source of the sound
[10:41] <AlexC_> dimeotane: if you have important files - why risk loosing them? Back up and be safe =)
[10:41] <jumburrito> its really bothering me
[10:42] <AlexC_> dimeotane: if you have no important files, and wont really matter _if_ it does go wrong, then go for it without backing up
[10:42] <thekidrio> what was the ipv6 project? sixbone?
[10:42] <patrialt> cherva, your a life saver
[10:42] <patrialt> that command did the trick
[10:42] <soundray> dimeotane: data you haven't backed up is data you don't want, period. It doesn't matter whether the action you're planning is low risk (resizing) or very low risk (extending)
[10:42] <elias__> I did the sudo bash diskmounter and got this message: Ignoring /dev/sdb5 - already in /etc/fstab No usable windows/mac partitions found
[10:43] <jumburrito> its already mounted
[10:43] <jumburrito> by default at boot
[10:43] <daniequy> I don't have problems whit the browser. The problem is that I can't read my gmail's mails
[10:43] <elias__> but how can i access it?
[10:43] <jumburrito> but not there
[10:43] <dimeotane> AlexC_: I make backups of my critical data files frequently... its more the hours I've put into getting my ubuntu install set up so nicely... it's like a new car I don't want to get scratched!
[10:43] <jumburrito> make sure the disk is functioning
[10:43] <elias__> it is
[10:43] <piroko> Does anyone know why updating ubuntu 6.10 gives connection refused errors while connecting to security.ubuntu.com on a fresh install?
[10:44] <AlexC_> piroko: Security servers are down
[10:44] <jumburrito> your OS is telling you it is in your bootup mount file and isn't working correctly i believe
[10:44] <erUSUL> piroko: problems in the server side?
[10:44] <piroko> Thank you very much
[10:44] <dimeotane> I have so many memories of making hours of work cause of my messing with a good system.. I'll never forget the time I had dos5 on my new laptop.. and my autoexec.bat got erased.. it took me days to get a new one set up
[10:44] <bwilson> How can I quickly move an app to a different workspace?  is there a keyboard shortcut?
 I have already Disabling IPv6.
[10:44] <AlexC_> bwilson: right click on it "Move to another workspace"
[10:45] <MrSiebel> Does anyone know how to use kdevelop?
[10:45] <bwilson> AlexC_  is that the fastest way?
[10:45] <AlexC_> bwilson: I'm not sure if there is a shortcut .... hum, I think there is but can't remember
[10:45] <vlt> linxeh: /etc/environment: LANG="de_DE.UTF-8", ~/.profile doesn't exist, ~/.bash_profile nearly only includes ~/.bashrc which hasn't been modified since dapper got stable ...
[10:45] <soundray> bwilson: you can setup a keyboard shortcut in Sys-Prefs-Keyboard Shortcuts
[10:45] <varkatope> !anynone
[10:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anynone - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:45] <varkatope> !anyone
[10:45] <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?
[10:45] <daniequy>  linxeh:  and it does not change anything
[10:45] <dimeotane> soundray: you mentioned there's a difference between extending and resizing partitions... I'm confused.. I didn't realize there's a difference... can you elaborate?
[10:46] <soundray> bwilson: under Window management
[10:46] <imsocute> hi
[10:46] <AlexC_> varkatope: do !anyone | username - then it sends the message to them, so they get it
[10:46] <jumburrito> I think he meant there is a difference between resizing a partition and making an "extended partition"
[10:46] <varkatope> AlexC_: ok
[10:46] <imsocute> im just new to ubuntu and im having problems updating beryl
[10:46] <Taime1> if i install the nvidia driver in commandline, then UNinstall it, does my xconf go back to normal, or do i have to configure it manually?
[10:46] <AlexC_> imsocute: ask away =)
[10:46] <dimeotane> jumburrito: ok makes sense
[10:47] <elias__> jumburrito, in /etc/fstab it say # /dev/sda5 UUID=24169060-b3a9-46be-b59a-f15a3fe3f154 none            swap    sw              0       0, something wrong there?
[10:47] <soundray> dimeotane: sorry, I misread your words. I was thinking about resizing, which was what you originally asked about, and "extending", by which I meant buying another hard disk and extending your storage space with it.
[10:47] <tonyyarusso> Taime1: You probably have to reconfigure it.
[10:47] <imsocute> it says dpkg interupted
[10:47] <Taime1> i can just store a copy right? then drag and drop with a live cd??
[10:47] <paniK> Hi. I wanna run kubuntu with vmWare in windows so that I can fully learn the OS before switching over. But I cant find any vmWare configurations files for kubuntu edgy? Plz help ;D
[10:47] <imsocute> i have to start it manually...um i don't know how to
[10:47] <jumburrito> elias_ I couldn't tell you, I don't know that much. I was just giving you my take on the error you were getting
[10:48] <atomiku> what can I use to get cool meters like disk/net usage? ive tried gdesklets but that sorta sucks
[10:48] <jumburrito> what kind of device are you trying to mount?
[10:48] <jumburrito> System Monitor
[10:48] <ompaul> paniK, so do gnewsense and then do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and work with it
[10:48] <AlexC_> imsocute: what is the full error you get?
[10:48] <elias__> I dont understand what you mean
[10:48] <imsocute> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[10:48] <soundray> paniK: if you can find one for ubuntu, that will probably work. If you can find one for debian, it should work, too.
[10:48] <imsocute> i tried to do it in the terminal
[10:48] <jumburrito> what are you trying to mount, elias?
[10:48] <dimeotane> soundray: you made a good point.. a user that doesn't back up... ever.. really has no insurance.. so they must not *need* it that much
[10:48] <paniK> ompaul how do I get gnewsense?
[10:49] <imsocute> it doesnt do anything
[10:49] <elias__> im trying to mount a ntfs harddisk
[10:49] <AlexC_> imsocute: ok, so in Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) type "sudo dpkg --configre -a" (no quotes)
[10:49] <tonyyarusso> Taime1: what?  Why does this involve a live cd?
[10:49] <dimeotane> I think, I shall start a backup now
[10:49] <ompaul> paniK,  by going to its website .org and downloading the CD
[10:49] <headphase> something is overrding my screen resolution
[10:49] <paniK> soundray: ok. Sounds good =) Figured an ubuntu would work. But cant get that one neither
[10:49] <jumburrito> i imagine you can't mount it because it is NTFS, it's do-able but I don't know how sorry
[10:49] <AlexC_> imsocute: it will ask you for you're password. So just type it in, it will not show you typing in the password though - but it is entering it
[10:50] <jumburrito> I only know how to do it the other way
[10:50] <Taime1> my question was, can i just copy my existing xconf, then use a live cd to drag and drop it if i screw it up?
[10:50] <Taime1> i think i did that once before
[10:50] <soundray> elias__: the diskmounter seemed to find an entry in /etc/fstab that it didn't want to override. Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab for us?
[10:50] <imsocute> it says: dpkg: unknown option --configre
[10:50] <elias__> soundray, sure
[10:50] <Music_Shuffle> !NTFS
[10:50] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:50] <soundray> imsocute: type more carefully ;)
[10:50] <paniK> ompaul: Yeah but the thing is that Ive only got 1 hdd. And I dont like 2 os sharing the same hdd... Bad stuff happened last time ;) So thats why I wanna run it thrue vmware until I feel I know everything I need 2 know
[10:50] <dimeotane> too many hours have gone into this lovely edgy setup on my new dell m1210... and I'd hate to see it all permenantly messed up....
[10:50] <babo> where is the touchpad sensitivity thing for gnome ?
[10:50] <AlexC_> imsocute: woops, sorry my mistake. It's sudo dpkg --configure -a
[10:51] <atomiku> what can I use to get cool meters on my desktop like disk/net usage? ive tried gdesklets but that sorta sucks
[10:51] <tonyyarusso> Taime1: You could, I suppose.  Just using cp would be simpler than a live cd.
[10:51] <AlexC_> soundray: nah! twas my fault, I said do --configre lol
[10:51] <jumburrito> dimeotane is there anything else important on the drive?
[10:51] <ompaul> paniK, so there ya go, choices and more of them
[10:51] <Taime1> cp?

[10:52] <Markatrop> Does anyone in here know how to use elilo and efibootmgr and wouldn't mind helping me out?
[10:52] <dimeotane> k
[10:52] <AlexC_> imsocute: you're welcome
[10:52] <dimeotane> oh yea.. defragging.. heh.. .that old windows issue
[10:52] <jumburrito> defrag it with a 3rd party utility several times before you mess with partition sizes and back everything up that is even remotely important

[10:59] <hossasaur> i realize some of my problems aren't entirely related to ubuntu, but i thought i'd seek help here
[10:59] <lun> how to safely resize my ubuntu root partition?
[10:59] <soundray> atomiku: also, did you know that you can search the package database, either with "apt-cache search keyword" or via synaptic?
[10:59] <dimeotane> in case I totally mess my system with doing some partition resizing
[10:59] <hossasaur> initially, i partitioned my drive as 20gb for vista, 20gb ext3 for ubuntu, 40gb fat32 for media, 4gb for swap
[11:00] <AlexC_> hossasaur: unforntuantly our Physic users are on holiday and so we can't read you're mind to see what problems you are having. You'll have to type you're problem out so we can help you, untill our Physics get back :P

[11:09] <erUSUL> joey221: no but maybe a different kernel does not panic at you...
[11:09] <Pelo> pgi947,  easiest way,  look up your modem model in the forum
[11:09] <dimeotane> I have limited spare time, and found it ironic that the dell laptop *with* a windows licence cost far less than OS less laptops... if it were a desktop I'd build it myself
[11:09] <erUSUL> joey221: do you have an idea of what is making the kernel panic?
[11:09] <lun> daniequy, it just came to me, check your /etc/hostname see if it's the same name as your computer
[11:09] <rfschmid> I just deleted a directory full of music files. I know what hard drive it was on, I already unmounted the device, so I want to undelete any file over about 1mb in size on that device, preferably that was in a certain directory, but it's okay if that's not possible.
[11:09] <AlexC_> dimeotane: yep, it's stupid I know. Doesn't make sense at all does it lol
[11:10] <rfschmid> I found something about debugfs, but I need to automate that.
[11:10] <pgi947> i have and found a guide and everything pelo, but when prompted to type in my password im getting an error along the lines of "905 unexepected operator" then saying the passwords do not match up
[11:10] <thingy> joey221, try and be gentle with the computer...no sudden moves or loud noises.... its a timid operating system :-)
[11:10] <jumburrito> Does anyone on god's green earth know why Ubuntu would make sounds randomly? I can't stand it!
[11:10] <dimeotane> AlexC_: I chatted with 'instant' online assistance... hah that was funny.. the guy replied to my questions about getting a refund... like I was a total space cadet for asking *such* a rediculous question... he basically gave me the 1800 number for customer support in the end.
[11:10] <erUSUL> jumburrito: what type of sounds?
[11:10] <joey221> erUSUL: I'm trying to run this on a Via EPIA motherboard -- it's relatively new, as am I -- I'm just stuck here  :(
[11:10] <jumburrito> I have been staring at the system log hoping for some indication of what's happening when it makes the sound but I can't see anything
[11:10] <Pelo> pgi947, caplock maybe ?
[11:10] <jumburrito> Like the sound Windows XP makes when you plug in a USB device
[11:10] <jumburrito> or unplug it
[11:11] <jumburrito> it's two sounds, just like Windows XP
[11:11] <pgi947> nope i have tried just about everything so far, same error everytime
[11:11] <varkatope> joey221: what epia?

[11:26] <ompaul> !nickspam | vocis
[11:26] <ubotu> vocis: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages (see !Away for more details): use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently
[11:26] <joey221> thingy: i'll try that now
[11:27] <thingy> paul, his computer rebooted when unplugging the mouse hence the disconnects/reconnects and nick change

[11:37] <Rune_> hi. Does the ubuntu installer(s) try to load specific video drivers during setup?
[11:37] <headphase> hello again
[11:37] <gordonjcp> thingy: it's not a very custom kernel - it's essentially the plain 2.6.17 kernel with the system tick rate set to 1kHz
[11:37] <thingy> gordonjcp, ive not used it so i dont know..tell me...is it just the nvidia drivers you are concerened about? if so, then just use make-kpkg for building the custom kernel and use the latest nvidia.sh drivers to recreate the module each time you compule the kernel
[11:38] <elias_> Does anyone else get slow apt-get speed?
[11:38] <ompaul> Rune_, yes, whatever it detects that is closest/known to work and ... if not vesa
[11:38] <gordonjcp> thingy: tried that, the module gets clobbered at every reboot
[11:38] <headphase> something is overridng my resoultion
[11:38] <Rune_> ompaul; will it load nvidia drivers?
[11:38] <Absenth> Rune_: it will not load the closed binary drivers.
[11:38] <ompaul> Rune_, where nvidia = nv yes, but those blobs from the company no
[11:38] <Absenth> Rune_: not during the install.
[11:38] <headphase> I can't get my Intel drivers to load

[11:39] <Rune_> hmm...
[11:39] <thingy> gordonjcp, by what? umm what did you follow to create your custom kernel? when creating one, you have to pass a param which gives the kernel a customised version otherwise youll get problems having both ubuntus 2.6.x kernel and your 2.6.x kernel on the system
[11:40] <gordonjcp> thingy: yes, I did that
[11:40] <thingy> gordonjcp, ok priv msg me about what your setup is and what your trying to do
[11:40] <gordonjcp> thingy: I did this -> http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[11:40] <gordonjcp> possibly that howto is bogus, but it worked OK for me
[11:41] <Rune_> ompaul; has there been any problems that you heard of with the nv drivers? im getting the "screens found but none have a valid config" Xorg error

[11:41] <Rune_> im downloading 6.06 just to try it
[11:42] <Rune_> what version of the nv drivers no idea.
[11:42] <ompaul> Rune_, 6.10 was what I was wondering about
[11:42] <Rune_> but im reading about "kernal attach problems" tho i think that's the 3pty nvidia drivers
[11:43] <elias_>  could anyone tell me their "average" downloadrate at apt-get upgrade ?
[11:43] <hossasaur> ompaul: it says 'could not mount, windows did not shut down properly, try to mount in windows'
[11:43] <Rune_> elias_; it's completely dependant on your connection and how close on the internet the sources you are using are to you
[11:44] <bobofett> Don't suppose anyone here plays Sauerbraten on 6.10 using an nVidia 5200?   hahaha pretty specific question...ha
[11:44] <ompaul> hossasaur, part of that message was the word "beta" so I wonder should you reboot and get it to scandisk itself or some such
[11:44] <Rune_> bobo; did you install ubuntu with no worries on that card?
[11:44] <bobofett> Well if anyone does does it ever freeze up on you during multiplayer?
[11:45] <Absenth> bobofett: I played World of Warcraft in OpenGL mode on a 6800gs on 6.10.  But to your specific question, no.
[11:45] <bobofett> yeah the card seem "fine"
[11:45] <Rune_> my 7800 "not fine"
[11:45] <bobofett> only getting a little over 200fps in glxgears
[11:45] <hossasaur> ompaul: i can't boot to the partition, it hangs when i try to boot
[11:45] <elias_> Rune_, I have a 3.5mbit connection and im downloading form the norway server, and im only downloading from 3000b/s to 20 kb/s
[11:45] <bobofett> but the game actually plays fine when it's going.
[11:45] <bobofett> no problems there.
[11:45] <Rune_> elias_; that sounds really crap :)
[11:46] <ompaul> hossasaur, did you try to mount and write proir to using fuse?
[11:46] <Absenth> bobofett: the nv driver really isn't 3d accellerated.
[11:46] <hossasaur> ompaul: yes
[11:46] <hossasaur> ompaul: i mounted using: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/windows -t ntfs -r -o uid=999,gid=999,umask=777
[11:46] <elias_> Rune_, indeed. I download other files in 600 kB/s so it have to be something with that apt
[11:46] <Rune_> elias_; from .au to us apt sources i have easily maxed out connections in the past
[11:46] <bobofett> just at random times it freezes during on-line play and I can't get out...I got to another console and kill sauerbraten and when I go back just a black screen I always have to Ctr-Atl-Bkspace it.
[11:46] <hak0> hi all
[11:46] <ompaul> hossasaur, then just try to rescue your data - if you tried to write to it without fuse you may have killed it
[11:46] <elias_> Rune_, so i should try switching server?
[11:46] <hak0> can anyone confirm me that xorg dev files to build X exist on the mirrors? i'm in Portugal and apt-buil doens find it on pt mirror, tnkx
[11:46] <Rune_> bobofett; checked Xorg log?
[11:47] <brosioz> hey
[11:47] <Rune_> elias_; maybe
[11:47] <hossasaur> ompaul: i didn't try to write to it yet, though i can currently view it
[11:47] <ompaul> hossasaur, and fuse is "beta"
[11:47] <brosioz> when will bw release Festy Fawn  ?
[11:47] <varkatope> brosioz: 19th
[11:47] <elias_> Rune_, roger
[11:47] <ompaul> hossasaur, grab your data if you can view it
[11:47] <Rune_> this is really going to suck but maybe i just have to remove my gfx card to get ubuntu going.
[11:47] <varkatope> brosioz: 19th april
[11:47] <brosioz> varkatope: 19th february ?
[11:47] <brosioz> dho
[11:47] <bobofett> Damn I preach log files all the time and I forgot myself!  thanks Rune...I"ll get back to you kid is waking up...thanks though.
[11:47] <linxeh> 19th of April?!?! Slackers!
[11:47] <linxeh> ;-)
[11:47] <brosioz> no impossible
[11:47] <Absenth> FOSS question here.  Is an application like MP32OGG required to pay the $.75 for the MP3 Codec?
[11:48] <Rune_> lol @ bobo
[11:48] <brosioz> they are aledry
[11:48] <brosioz> with the third
[11:48] <brosioz> rc
[11:48] <linxeh> brosioz: eh ?

[11:49] <ompaul> hossasaur, if you can view it use nautilus - click on
[11:49] <Vilhelms> I am trying to run a 3d game on a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl mode, but the performance of it is horrible. I even tried it without Xgl and it still runs a lot slower if I run it in a different display instead of the main display. Is there another alternative, or a way to configure it so it doesn't decrease performance?

[11:49] <ompaul> hossasaur, sorry - places home folder and navigate to the partition
[11:49] <Absenth> lisapc: From what I've been reading,  The configuration of Grub for vista is different than for XP/2000 etc.  Be sure to research Vista & dual boot before starting anything.
[11:49] <brosioz> thx
[11:50] <vons> absenth: directory not found
[11:50] <lisapc> i got a new ntebook with Vista on C: and a free D: partition. Can I install xbuntunu on D: and create a dual boot menu?
[11:50] <Absenth> vons?
[11:51] <justin4thirty> Hello. Does anyone here have any idea why I would be getting a kernel panic worning from the Edgy live cd?
[11:51] <vons> absenth: you said, drop to the command line,  chmod +x vmware-install.pl and then ./vmware-install.pl  expect to have to add packages.
[11:51] <justin4thirty> well, more than a warning, I guess
[11:51] <hossasaur> ompaul: if i sudo cd /media/windows, it says cd unknown command
[11:51] <Muzik83> lisapc: yes that is entirely possible, why xubuntu though if the machine can run Vista?
[11:51] <justin4thirty> more like a complete crapping of its pants
[11:51] <hossasaur> ompaul: and nautilus wasn't able to view the folder before
[11:51] <brianski> hmm, i tried to remove a package with dpkg i shouldn't have. now when i do dpkg -l | grep $pkgname the first char is r, ie "ri  libc6 2.4-1ubuntu12.3 ..." - is there a way to clear whatever is marking that r there, so it says ii like other installed packages?
[11:51] <ompaul> hossasaur, is it mounted?
[11:51] <Muzik83> lisapc: and furthermore, your D: drive would disappear
[11:52] <Absenth> vons: ahh.  read the specific error messages in the install script,  They give you lots of clues as to what you need to do next.  VMWare on Ubuntu is not "easy"
[11:52] <hossasaur> ompaul: yes
[11:52] <Absenth> lisapc: you MIGHT find this useful....  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=213601
[11:53] <hossasaur> ompaul: i can only view the files in the terminal
[11:53] <Vilhelms> I am trying to run a 3d game on a separate X display so I can run it while I'm in Xgl mode, but the performance of it is horrible. I even tried it without Xgl and it still runs a lot slower if I run it in a different display instead of the main display. Is there another alternative, or a way to configure it so it doesn't decrease performance?
[11:54] <walla> could anyone tell me how i can change the icon for all my multimedia files?
[11:54] <brianski> usually i just dpkg --force-all -r $foo ; apt-get install $foo, but i don't want to do that with libc :)
[11:54] <ompaul> hossasaur, so then for example: mkdir foo; cd /lost/cause/partition; cp -R * path/to/foo/.
[11:54] <thingy> Vilhelms, nvidia or ati card?
[11:54] <Vilhelms> ati
[11:54] <j3g> i am trying to install ubuntu on a new HP server.. it has the NC373i network adapter, which doesn't seem to be detected by ubuntu... i have found drivers for suse and redhat enterprise on HPs page... is there a way to use those drivers on ubuntu?
[11:54] <PwcrLinux> HI there
[11:54] <Vilhelms> thingy, ati and i can only use xgl on my card from what i've been told
[11:55] <hossasaur> ompaul: thanks, i'm trying that
[11:55] <PwcrLinux> FF still spikes again.. I thought the kernel 9.. somewhere inside of my system files..
[11:55] <Vilhelms> thingy, My card is an ATI Xpress 200
[11:55] <thingy> Vilhelms, a moment...searching
[11:56] <Vilhelms> thingy, Alright
[11:56] <LMNT_OX> whats good all.....
[11:56] <quaal> does anyone have problems with banshee freezing up?
[11:56] <LMNT_OX> i've got several questions, whenever someone is available....
[11:57] <elias_> Rune_, its still random it seems, goes from 25kb to 3000 b/s :|
[11:57] <hossasaur> ompaul: that's actually working....real quick though, i have my large fat32 partition mounted as /media (which looking back on it, was probably a mistake).  i'm copying /media/windows to /media/windowsbackup
[11:57] <justin4thirty> So, I pop in the Edgy cd and it gives me a kernel panic message on boot up. Then, I install dapper, no problems, and upgrade to edgy. Kernel panic. Does anyone know why this is?
[11:57] <hossasaur> ompaul: is it storing to the ext3 partition or the fat32 partitoin?
[11:57] <PwcrLinux> I would think to dump breezy out hehe
[11:57] <ompaul> hossasaur, the contents of a partition do not care about where they live
[11:57] <stiz> where do you put a WPA key for wireless encryption? i have a fon hotspot router and it requires WPA
[11:58] <ompaul> hossasaur, the contents of a file may care where they are opened
[11:58] <Blais1> Hi Everyone
[11:58] <Blais1> I've a question about screen resolutions
[11:58] <Absenth> stiz: I know there is a package or two you have to add to give Ubuntu WPA support.  however I can't remember the name.
[11:58] <justin4thirty> Kernel panic? No one?
[11:58] <Absenth> stiz: I suspect someone here knows where you might find a how-to for WPA +ubuntu
[11:58] <Blais1> I have a widescreen monitor, how can I add teh correct resolution for it?
[11:59] <warewolf_> Hello, anyone know how to add my own tools to control-panel?
[11:59] <Absenth> Blais1: laptop or desktop?
[11:59] <Blais1> desktop Absenth
[11:59] <ompaul> !resolution > Blais1 (please read the message from the bot thanks)
[11:59] <Absenth> Blais1: most of the time that information is published on the MFG site.
[11:59] <hossasaur> ompaul: i'm copying my entire sda1 (~15gb) to either sda2 or sda4.  sda2 has ~11gb free space, sda2 has ~40gb free space
[11:59] <justin4thirty> I don't suppose the bot knows anything about kernel panics?
[11:59] <Absenth> Blais1: Most 17,19" 16:9 monitors are ~ 1280/800 or 1440/900 or so
[11:59] <slv> what's a kernel panic?
[12:00] <Joenin> you tell me
[12:00] <Blais1> thanks"
[12:00] <justin4thirty> Heh, pretty much what it sounds like, I guess. I'm not entirely sure.
[12:00] <thekidrio> the kernel gets afraid of ghosts
[12:00] <thekidrio> and it panics
[12:00] <PwcrLinux> kernel panic, likely system halted
[12:00] <hossasaur> ompaul: sda4 is mounted as /media, sda1 is mounted on /media/windows, i'm cping the files to /media/windowsbackup
[12:00] <justin4thirty> It results in linux not booting, though.
[12:00] <Muzik83> kernel panics are "bluescreens" of dealth
[12:00] <yipe> justin4thirty, have you been playing with grub.menu or installing other operating systems?
[12:00] <thekidrio> its not halted, its just not working how it should
[12:00] <Muzik83> only not so blue
[12:00] <thekidrio> its not a sane environ
[12:00] <ompaul> hossasaur, fine
[12:00] <justin4thirty> Nah, I get it from the live cd.
[12:00] <Absenth> kernel Panic is nearly the same as a BSOD
[12:00] <hossasaur> ompaul: sda2 is mounted as /
[12:00] <thekidrio> no way
[12:00] <PwcrLinux> WSOD?
[12:00] <justin4thirty> I can't even install grub to break it.
[12:00] <Absenth> what they said.
[12:00] <ompaul> hossasaur, but I would only be grabbing data
[12:00] <thekidrio> bsod != kernel panic
[12:00] <adaptr> Absenth: erm... not nearly
[12:00] <warewolf_> I meant control center in feisty
[12:00] <yipe> justin4thirty, time to burn a new CD :P
[12:00] <hossasaur> ompaul: i'm just backing up the partition in case something is wrong
[12:01] <thekidrio> you get useful info from a kernel panic
[12:01] <justin4thirty> But, here's the thing! I install Dapper and upgrade to edgy, and get the same kernel panic.
[12:01] <hossasaur> ompaul: i just want to know what partition it's being stored on right now
[12:01] <thekidrio> a core dump = a bsod
[12:01] <Absenth> adaptr: for a NON coder/hacker it's close enough.
